THE REVALENTA ARABIOA saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores perfect digestion strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled—removing speedily and effectually indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, con sumption, habitual constipation, diarrhoea, all gastric de rangements, haemorrhoids, liver complaints, flatulency, nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria, catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, neu ralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramp., spasms, nausea and sickness even in pregnancy or at sea, sinking fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable for invalids and infants in all complaints. IMPORTANT CAUTION.--Beware of the many unsavoury and more than slopy imitations to which, without autho rity, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attached. Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health -restoring Revalenta Arabica invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holi ness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by It after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No. 18,413):—"Rome, July 21st, 1866. —The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du arrv's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which ho consumes a latefnl at every meal.

The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are loss than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company.

The directors also draw Wen; ion to the successful esta blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of both institutions.

BsoLuTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGE.kBLE, igsued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. Established 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall bo absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. _ _ For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of in ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this class of the public the system now introduced will espe eialls commend itself, being entirely free from all condi tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium, or from any other cause whatever; while at the same time it absolutely guarantees at das...ease, when even a de fault is made in payment of tha premium. a fixed sum in respect of every pterniutn paid, ly:aring the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may hear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important alvantafze, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. Thy ass - urel will thus always have the option of retain ing either en ascertained fiszd sum payable at d•cea::e, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, au3 rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors asaunng the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re versionary, of a Policy of this description. Every Policy issued on this plan will be without any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other usual limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds the objections before referred to will be entirely removed, and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as actual securities. In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages, the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest five years, es shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this cuss as security, may always know the utmost. amount they may be called upon to advance so as to myth:Wu the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where plEcies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence► of the policies under these Wiles belng unforfeitablo awl uncon ditional, they will also he nncb:fllt•ngeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Seenrity Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an ineorne of £215,000 a year Its position is un. questionable, and it obtains tho largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom.

Among the many anniversaries whit`. have en livened dawning hummer in New York, the meeting of the American Equal Rights' Association holds a conspicuous place ; for it was there that the cham pions of women's rights kept the lists, anti di;l valiant battle against all oomera. When trianai•hact on their own ground they turned upon each other, and, as might be expected, the battle raged most fiercely around the standards erected for dress_. In- deed we may safely pr,diet that the woman's rights ! Tees! ion will be shivered on that rock. Ms. S7AI;- ton proclaims the dress of the day to be " an invcn tion of the devil to befool and belittle worn in ;" aed 1 she beli eves " t h e supreme ly r idiculous i lea that a Iwoman was made like a churn on castors is fast passit ' e away, and that she Will soon honour the 1 bifurcated garment's." This Miss OLIVE LOGAN, the pretty little ex-actrcs4, who condemns the stage as inconsistent with feminine purity, disputes in a stale as telling as it. is amusing, expressing these sentiments, as she always does, extempore—'' I re ject the trousers with contempt and scorn. Men cut a sufficiently ridiculous figure in them them &lves. The trouble is, they don't like their own costume, and are envious of our laces, jewellery, frills, and dresses. ' Trousers, forsooth, trousers?' Shake not the ridiculous garments at me. No, so long as we can have our silks, satins, and shawls, we will repudiate your absurd bifurcatelunwhis perables. Look at your swallow tail coats, stove pipe hats ; and you wear your hair so short, some of you, that you look precisely like monkeys, and I don't wonder that one of your number has written a bookshowing that animal tobe the father of his race." But Dr. MARY WALKER takes the foremost rank of all the young ladies now " on the rampage," as she has been "running a-muck " among the office. holders. We were under the impression that M ARY scorned place ; that her professional acquirements were to her an ample income ; but in quest of a post she has hit at every Secretary of State, even at the Peesident himself. In her last dash at the Com missioner of Patents she was intercepted et the office by the wife of General GAINES. She had just de posited with Judge MErCALFE a written application for the situation of librarian of the Interior Del art ment held by Mr. DILLON. While she aw &ited the Commissioner Mrs. GAINES appeared on the scene, who eyeing MARY, said, "Is this Mrs. Dr. MARY WALKER?" Now the pronoun this, certainly if "thing" be added, might well fire the female heart ; but we can testify to the calm self-possession with which the lady faces even a noisy mob, and she ac knowledged her ideality with a smile. "Allow me," said Mrs. GAINES, "to give you a piece of advice." MARY, who knew she charged for her own advice, ma le the proviso that it should be giver gratis. When Mrs. GAINES assurer her she would mike no ch irge, Dr. M try Wateeea intimated her readiness to hear, whereon Mrs. GAINES said, "My advice is to go home and pull off those breeches at once, and not disgrace your whole sex by wearing the.n." After a little sptrriag, the lady continue.], " You are injuring yourself by dressing so. lla,d I put on breeches I shoul I never have succeeded in estale , dishing my rights. I never put on breeches— no, not even my huiban l's, an 1 with the bl..ssing of GOD I never will." On which MARY reinurked, " Yon way riot dress in this costume, and yet dress' as unbecomingly in some other garb. You weer feathers and flowers in your hair, while there is no thing of the kin l to be seen about mine." The argument waxed warm, an I the clerks aed visitors crowded around the combatants ; nor can we s iy t 3 what extremity the contest might have been carried had not the bell struck and the ladies separated. Nor have the women's rights women and others come to loggerheads on the subject of dress only, for the champions have shown a disposition so tyrannical and pretensions so excessive as even to rouse the much-suffering biped—man. Mr. S. S. FOSTER had the temerity to appear oa the platform in opposition to Mrs. STANTON, at a meeting presided over by that lady. She heard him out so long as he confined him self to " hauling her over the coals ;" but when he presumed to accuse Miss ANTHONY of falsehood, then she was aroused, and M. FOSTER was suppressed, but, to do him justice, with diffictity. In the after noon session of the Woman Suffrage Meeting at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn, MINNIE MERTON created a sens ition, being a veritable madwoman. She broke in on LucaETIAMorT, shouting to the au Hence with stentorian voice that all on the platform had conspired to prevent her from speaking. A 3 n )thing could dissuade her from addressing the meeting, Mr. STUDLEY brought in a policeman ; but the people who, in the first instance, had hissed her, demanded that she should be heard, when the policeman, on Mr. STUDLEY'S peremptory order, proceeded to drag her from the stage. MINNIE held it to be the duty of Government to take care of women ; and if this resolves itself into one-half, the community taking care of the other half, we agree With her, for it but comes back again into the men taking care of the women as of old ; narrowed, this appears also to be Dr. MARY WALKER'S idea, who holds that it is the duty of the Govern , meat to take care of a woman. In these proCeed ings poor GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN has come " to grief," as he has been thrown over by the Revolu tion, which took in lieu of him a large number of - ' subscribers ; a bribe the full force of which we are in a position to estimate. The Woman's Bu. eau is in working order, and its hanlsome rooms are now filled on reception nights with the elite of New York. For instance, on the 11th May, a writer describes the line of carriages as equalling that fill ing Irving-place on a Parepa-Rosa night —very elegant cards inviting, very elegant women receiv ing, very elegant talk entertaining, and very ex quisite music charming the company. A wealthy lady, Mrs. PHELPS, bought the premises, furnished them, and lets them in apartments for the special service of woman's work. The Revolution hires the lower room, SOROSIS occupies a committee room, the Working Women's Protective Union finds harbour age there, and the Woman's Rights' Association a habitation and a name. A lady becomes a mem -1 ber on the annual payment of $5. The idea was suggested to Mrs. PHELPS by the failure of a woman artist, to rent a studio in the building op posite, the Young Men's Christian Association, where she was told no women would be tolerated. A change is coming o'er the advertisements of our lecturers and orators. " Pretty Miss COZZENS speaks to-morrow at STEINWAY'S" i 3 now the announce. meat. An infiential paper observes—" The even ing's exercises were closed with a racy speech by Mrs. LIVERMORE, editor of the Chicago Agitator." A leading delegate to the New York Woman's Rights' Convention is called the " moat brilliant talker in the country." But this does not embrace the whole change, for the altered state of things is giving rise to complications not inaptly expre , :sed in the following extract :—" Miss JONES, Postmistress at Winterset, lowa, recently married Mr. ALFRED SMITH. Mrs. SMITH is not known to the Depart ment as Postmistress, Miss JONES has no longer a legal existence, and things generally are very much mixed. SMITH is anxious to know if he has mar ried into the post-office, or has married the post office out of the family." _ [ADVERTISEMENT.) —Dyspepsia (Indigestion), Constipation, Debility, Consumption, and all nervous, bilious, stomach, and. p r l e s p s r , o s v n e e d h b a y s ag gravated andaccele liver complaints in every stage, are only rated by drugs of every description, but perfectly curable by Du i n i e v u er ra co lgi m a p : l i a rr in it t a s throats, diphthe ria, ho Barry's d health - restori ngs asthma , ef cases awhic hlson ad ul. liner! beane a n . t h a:Am consideredr a ohy bic a t eo s irareß.
