A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN EA- FORFEITABLE, 'UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, 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 be absolutely Tinforfeitable, Unconditional, and ITnchallengeable. 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 cialls 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 oven 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 Besides this important a:lv-ant - age, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance. The assure .1 will thus nl ways have the option of retain ing either an ascertained fixcd. 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 anv future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors as.suring the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as ono greatly protective of their int•-rests, 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. Eve, y Policy issued on this plan will be withot4 any Ir co . lions as to voyaging, foreign re§idence, or other usual r.„ mitat ions. . 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, 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 he called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies are hell as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being nuforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeablo on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. I_ The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos -1 sesses an income of £i15,000 a year. Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new business of anv office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720. ROY AL EXCHANGE.

The directors also draw attention 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.

FREDERIC ANDREW, Secretary' /Co. 10,youltry London, B.C. September 1868. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road, in the immediate vicinity of the Great Northern Railway Terminus, King's Cross. Patron—Her Most Gracious MAJESTY the Qtrux. Vice-Patron — His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G. PresidentLHis Grace the Duke of Brectxtrat, K.G. This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch - lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co.; Glyn and Co. Herries and flo.; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Gro . te, and Co.; Smith, l'apid, and Co.; Barclay and Co. : Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Nisbet and Co., Berners-street ;:and at the hospital from 10 till b. rushed through the aperture into the fields and gardens to the Avon. The breach occurred about 3:idway between the Enescote Bridge and the Aqueduct. A. large portion of the embankment on the Warwi , ,k aide of the river, between 30 and 40 feet in ..vidth, La I been wholly washed away, and the water was escaping through the breach until it had completely submerged two or three adjoining fields aud done serious mischief to the crops and - propaty in that locality. A number of labourers were engaged to stop olr the water by means cf planks set - down at the bridges en either aide of the scene of the accident. Before its completion the waste of water had been so enormous as to reduce the canal to the size of a atreamlet. The cause of the acci dent is alleged to lie in the conatruetion of a three-feet culvert, the excavations for which beneath the bed of the river were in ceurse of progress at the place where the embankment burst. THE QUEEWS BALMORAL BURSARIES. A contemporary announces that the Queen baa appropriated £2,500 of the profits arising from the sale of "The Leaves from a Journal" to establishing school and college bursaries for the benefit of well-deserving scholars in the district round Bahnsral. The deed of gift is dated the 14th lust., and proceeds on the recital that her Majesty, "being desirous to commemorate the happiness enjoyed by ourselves and dearly beloved Consort, his Royal Highnese the Prince Albert, at Balmoral, in some manner that may benefit the people of the district around our castle and estate of Balmoral in the united parishes of Crathie and Braemar, in the county of Aberdeen," " has resolved to establish certain bursaries (to be called ' the Balmoral Bursaries') in connection with the parish school of Crathie and the school of Girnock, and the University of Aberdeen respectively." It creates a trust of the endowment fund, for the payment of three or more bursaries of £5 each per annum to scholars at the parish school of Crathie, or at her Majesty's school at Girnock, and of three bursaries of £25 each to students who shall attend the University of Aberdeen. The bursaries are not to be given in connection with special education for any profession, in the choice of which the bursars shall be quite free, the object being to assist in procuring for the bursars the means of a thoroughly sound general education of the best kind which the parish school and university respectively can afford. THE DISTURBANCES AT SEFTON CHURCH, On Sunday it was feared that the scenes which have of late disgraced the services at Sefton Church would have been repeated, but fortunately the disturbances moderated a little. The disturbances seem to have been organised by the lodge of Orangemen at Seaforth or Li fher land. On Thursday night last a meeting of the Litherland lodge was held ostensibly for the purpose of collecting funds for the prosecution of the Rev. Dr. Dawson Duffield, the rector of Sefton, for alleged desecration in the chancel of the church, but really, as has been stated by one of the persons attending the meeting, to organise plans for annoy kg the curate in his ministrations, and to devise meansfor doing so without, bringing themselves within the meshes of the law. Accordingly a number of Orangemen, nearly all from Seafortl► and Litherland, and a lot of boys, who apparently did not know what the disturbance was to be about, but went to the church to stare and walk about, attended the morning service and crowded the church and its entrances. Very few of the regular worshippers at the church were present. No interruption was made to the service until near the conclusion, when Mr. Hawes turned to the east at the ascription of praise. Many Persons then left their seats and crowded into the aisles and chancel, walking about with their hats and cape on, stumbling over the farms, making a great noise. Several commenced hissing. For about a quarter of nu hour Mr. Hawes remained within the altar rails, waiting for quiet to be restored before reading the prayer for the Church militant. Shortly after the conclusion of this prayer Mr. llawes left the church, preceded by two police constables and followed by other two. A crowd, hissing and bhouting, followed him to his home. The disturbances were renewed, though not so violently, in the afternoon. The annual report of the inspectors of mines has been issued. There appears to have been 296,660 persous employed in coal mi►►ng in England and Wales in 1868, and 50,160 in Scotland. The quantity of coal raised in Great Britain was 104,566,959 tons. There were 860 separate : fatal accidentQ, and 1,011 lives lost, the propoitiou of persona employed for separate fatal accidents being 403, and 343 erop'.oycd to every life feat. Every 103,420 tons of coal raised appears to have cost a life. Teese operations wete carded on in 3 7 '262 collieries. There were also C 9 lives lost in ironstone mines. Mr. Benjamin Whitworth, of Manchester, seems likely to be accepted as the colleague with Mr. Evans as candidates in the Liberal interest for the representation of Stafford. Against him on his own side there are arrayed Captain fluter, Mr. Lamport, and others. Mr. Cdger is still holding forth in the working-man interest. Mr. Ke nealy, Q. 0., who contested Wednesbury against Mr. Brog den, the present Liberal member, has announced himself as a candidate. Mr. Evans, in his address, calls himself an independent supporter of the Government. It has been already stated that Mr. T. Salt, will be the Conservative candidate. Captain Reginald Arthur James Talbot, Lord Shrewsbury'sbrother, will ( says the Pall Mall Gazette) be his colleague. The United States of North America have ',not as yet given their adhesion to the proposals of the Con vention of Geneva for succouring sick and wounded soldiers, and consequently they ware unrepresented at the international Conference of Berlin. But as the great Ame rican nation, by its generous sentiments and acts, as well as by its eminently practical character, has- long largely cbntributed to the great work of benevolence which it is the object of the International Conference to promote, it was hoped the delegates of the American committees of succour would be present at the Conference of Berlin, and take a share in the deliberations. As this hope has not been realized, a delegate of the Central Prussian Committee brought forward a motion at the last sitting (27th April), which was adopted unanimously, and signed by the representatives of all the societies. The text was as follows :—" At the close of its cession the In ternational Conference expresses its lively regret at having been deprived in its labours of the most valuable assistance of delegates from the United States of North America. Being convinced that this great and lofty nation—as ono of the first of those who rendered the most eminent ser vices to the cause we are devoted to, will receive with sympathy information of the results of our present labours, we desire that the printed records and documents of the Conference be transmitted to the Government of the United States, also to American Sanitary Associations for the relief of sick and wounded soldiers. Berlin, 27th April, 1869. Signed—Dr. Hepke (of the Prussian Central Com mittee), General v. Peucker, and Dr. Housselle."—North German Correspondent. Judge Pierrepont was sworn in as District At tory of New York ou the 26th April, being introduced to the Court by Mr. Samuel G. Courtney, late District At torney. Judge Pierrepont was born in New Haven County, Conn., March 4, 1818. In 1837 he graduated at Yale College, where he took "an oration"—the first rank in his class. He studied law in the Law School attached to that University, and in 1840 removed to Columbus, Ohio, where he became a partner of P. E. Wilcox, an emi nent lawyer of that city. At the end of five yearn he came to the metropolis, where he continued in the prac tice of the law until the death, in 1857, of Chief Justice Oakley, when he was elected to fill this vacancy. He held the Judgeship for three years, and then resigned to resume the practice of law. At the breaking out of the war Judge Pierrepout at once put himself on the side of the Government, and was an active member of the Union Defence Committee. in 1862 he was placed on the Com mission with General Dix to try the prisoners of State then confined in the various forts of the United States. In 1868 he became a member of the Constitutional Conven tion of the State, and during the late Presidential cam paign he was an active worker in behalf of the election of General Grant. .Mr. Henry M'Closkey died at the Insane Asy lum in Platbusb, April 27.
