A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN EX- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. 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 Lifo Assurance is in thoir 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 be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; ne 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 cially 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 decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid. bearing the same propor tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assured will thus always have the option of retain ng either an ascertained fix,-Al sum payable at decease, 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. and rendering unnecessary any fiiture reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assuraure::. Creditors assuring 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 tho 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 yeark as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies gre held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an income of £215,000 a year. Its position is un• questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. 13. SCOTT'S BILIOUS and LIVER PILLS.

They cannot leave the country, and must stay where they are, and weather the famine as best they can. MISSIONARIES IN CHINA. The Protestant missionaries in China have addressed a letter to Sir Rutherford Alcock, in reply to his despatch respecting them.

GREAT FIRE AT PEKING. A great fire has occurred at Peking, by which a wing of the Emperor's palace has been totally destroyed. Unfor tunately this wing contained large stores of books and blocks for printing. Its name occurs in all books painted at the Emperor's charge for two centuries. It was in this part of the palace that the great work Tu-shu-chi-cheng, of which a single copy costs £5OO sterling, was printed with copper movable types at the beginning of the 18th century. These types were afterwards melted into cash, an act for which the Emperor of that date was afterwards very penitent. In this wing the rare and valuable collec tion of works known as the Si-ku was attached. The loss is not yet fully known. THE AMERICAN GOLD PANIC. The New rork Times gives a reassuring account of the condition of the stock market. Matters are. settling down, and the public mind becoming calmer. The only trouble to be apprehended new is from the failures of houses which have been too seriously affected by the panic to rally. In surveying the history of the panic, tho Times remarks that had it not been . for the strong hand of the law, stretched forth at an opportum moment, a disaster would have fallen upon the entire business community of the country, from Maine to Texas, which would have ruined thousands aid cursed universal pros tration. A committee has been appointed by ih) Gold Exchange to organise a new clearing department, whose office will be to clear gold contracts made by and between members of the Board. Their report was prepared and accepted on the sth. THE GREAT STORM IN AMERICA, The storm of the first and second days of October in the United States was exceptionally severe. In Connecticut damage amounting to $lOO,OOO was done. A dam and machine shop were carried away, crushing one man to death, and injuring many others. Philadelphia, however, seems to have been the chief sufferer. It is curious that the district which has so long bewailed the sinking river and prevailing drought has now to lament the veryopposito misfortune. The Schuylkill, so long below its mark, has swollen to such an extent that lumber, coal, and railroad cars, were carried away, and the stores near the banks were flooded to the second story. The gas works were submerged, and the unlucky city threatened with total darkness. In Baltimore the citizens profited by the experience of last July, and removed their goods in time. Washington itself was flooded in Tarts, and trains were delayed for several hours. Part of the Erie line was washed away, and the wires broken, cutting off com munication with the far West. The Delaware River was twenty feet higher en the Ist of October than on the previous day. The Mohawk was ten feet above low water mark, and several breaks had occurred in the Erie Canal. On the Hudson River Railroad the water lay a foot deep on the track, and from all quarters come accounts of trains delayed and accidents occurring through the flood. It is feared that many lives have been lost during the storm, and hundreds of men have been thrown out of employment by the breakage of the Government coffer dam on the Mississippi, which event we learned by the last mail. The rise in that river is greater than was ever known at this time of the year. TIES HORNET. The Cuban privateer Hornet, or Cuba as she is now called, continues to excite much interest in America. The case came before the United States Commissioner for the Cape Fear district, when it was decided that there was a prima facie case against the ship. The Govern ment has, it is 'said, information of another expedition, The Cuba when she was seized had 200 men and 30 officers on board, most of the latter being ex-Confoderatos. Another privateer, called the Alabama, with 400 men, including 63 officers, is said to have arrived at Fernandina from New York. The owners of the steamer Euterpe hearing a rumour that a Cuban privateer was waiting to capture their vessel en route to Havana, asked protection from Secretary Fish. The Secretary answered that no convoy could be furnished upon rumour, but that he would punish any outrage upon the American flag. The New York Herald thinks the appearance of these Cuban privateers will grea tly affect the struggle with Spain, Cuba having been recognised by two Governments as an independent power, and her ships consequently being no longer liable to be treated as pirates. THE REPUBLICAN OUTBPIAT IN SPAIN. The Government in Spain has finally triumphed. Valencia has capitulated. The rebels, after some hours' fighting, surrendered at discretion. The leader of the insurrection and his chief followers are in hiding, and the troops of the Regent have taken possession of the town. It is expected that the cap ture of Valencia will hasten the end of the rebellion. Order has been already established at Teruel. The troops have gained a signal success over the insurgents at Bejar where the latter were in considerable numbers. The Cortes have suspended their sittings in consequence of these events, and the period of their resumption has not yet been fixed. As soon as order is partially restored, the question of electing a sovereign will once more engage attention. THE AMERICAN DEBT. A telegram from New York promises us an interest.. ing little experiment in finance. It is said that the Messrs. Rothschild have offered the United States Government at 4 per cent. interest, a loan suffi cient to pay off all the National Debt. The proceeding will be remarkable certainly ; but the report has a suspicious look about it The American debt is now about 600 millions of our money, and most of it is at 6 per cent., indcod the - Present quotations allow considerably more than 0. What, . therefore, would the Rothschilds gain by advancing the whole sum at 4 per cent., unless they had a special commission; and if so, what would the United States gain P " "L'UOM3I:E QUI nIT." A. lively controversy is going on between Mr. E. S. Dallas and a Times reviewer respecting the merits of the English translation of M. Victor Hugo's famous work, " L'llomme Qui Rit." The reviewer says the version is indifferent; Mr. Dallas, who edited a journal in which part of the translation appears, claims that it is as perfect as any rendering of Victor llugo well can be. This may be true, but still the translation is indifferent. The fact is that such a book as M. Hug . o's last cannot be rendered perfectly. The style is so idiomatic and difficult that hundreds of passages lose their significance with the change of language. Moreover, very many lengthy extracts must be left out in block, simply because their nasti ness will not bear reproduction. An English transla tion of Victor Hugo is as unsatisfactory as a French version of Shalisnere. [..ktmEnTnEmENT.l—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— The family medicine chest that is furnished with these powerful medicines needs nothing more. Indigestion, general debility, liver complaint, eruptions, sores, wounds, ulcers, tumours, &c, are infallibly cured by their use. They purify the blood, and give tone aed vigour to the whole system. The ointment, when well rubbed into the parts affected, enters the flesh just as salt enters meat, an if the pills be taken as au auxiliary, the cure is speedy, thorough, and permanent. These medicaments are com posed of rare balsams, without the admixture of a grain - of, mercury or any hilarious substance. They are peculiarly mild and gentle in their action, end are as safe as they aro efficacious.
