A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN EX FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, 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 Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Uncliallengeable. 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 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease, or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac cording t i the duration of the Policy, such amounts being set forth on every Policy, and rendering unnecessary any future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors asauriog 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 withon,t 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-five 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 be called 'upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as n consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any gmund 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 buginPas of any office in the Kingdom.

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 p rofit of both Institutions. it is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and cons titution of each office ar e quite separate and distinct.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. 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 now 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 lnst year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums raid for re-assurance, many of the r isks re-assured haVing terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. lint they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two ofliceslast absorbed by the company.

W. IL MILLBURN ON AARON BURR. (From Ike Anglo-American Times.) We had the pleasure only to bear one of the three lectures delivered by the Rev. W. H. Milburn this week in the Egyptian Hall, that " On the Life arid Character of Aaron Burr." Mr. Milburn, taking a gentleman's arm, walked to - his place on the plat form with that bold, fearless tread by which the blind so often astonish those who see, and planted himself behind a table. Any one then entering the ha!l would have beheld a fine-looking, heavy man standing firmly on his feet apparently, taking a sur vey of his audience, but no idea would have crossed his mind that the speaker was sightless. His action is slight, but eppropriate and expressive ; his voice deep-to.ied and melodious, perhaps showing too plainly the cultivation, which, we think, is the fault of his style, the study being too evidently manifested, for no effect can equal that produced by the ap appearance of simplicity an l spontanecus thought. Taking, then, the narrative as an elaborate biogra phy of Aaron Burr, it is, in a word, masterly. The lecturer never forgets the deep moral lesson incul cated which veins it, as silver veins a Nevad ► hill. Ilia pictures were bright and true to life; his anti thesis forcible, rising into the sublime in his contrast between the character of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, who, he says, was America's purest poli tician and greatest statesman. It is noteworthy that Mr. Milburn has not chosen a character to pane gerize, as biographists generally do. He pronounces Aaron Burr to have been as bad a man as his vic tim, Alexander Hamilton, was good. Both were soldiers of the revolutionary war ; both early in life the friends, and on the staff, of Wash ington; but the " Father of his Country," ab horred immorality, and, dismissing Colonel Burr, became warmly attached to General Hamilton. The • career of the two frequently brought them into con flict. If every-politieian is not a lawyer in, the States, every lawyer is a politician, and General Hamilton and Colonel Burr, both officers who had distinguished themselves in the revolutionary cam paigns, rose to fame at the bar of the Empire State, Empire then as now. Both were leaders of the opposite political factions ; both constantly met as the counsel of contending adversaries. Aaron Burr managed skilfully to combine the warring sections of the Republican party of that.day, and thereby achieved so signal a success that the vote cast for Mr. Jefferson for the Presidency did not excee I that for himself, while both were in overwhelming majority to the candidates of the opposition. In those days he for whom the Electoral College had cast most votes became President, and the Vice- President was the man who stood next ; therefore the question the tie created was which was to be President and which vice-President. This was de cided by Alexander Hamilton, who, believing in the . patriotism of Jefferson and the selfishness of Aaron Burr, induced his party to support the election of the former. In doing so, General Hamilton sealed his doom, for he added fuel to the fire of hatred fiercely burning in Burr's bosom, and fixed the re solve of one who knew no mercy, nor fear, to kill him. At a time when the code of honour prevailed there was no difficulty and little danger in achieving his purpose, for Aaron Burr was an accomplished shot, and Hamilton, however deeply impressed with the wickedness of the course sanctioned by society, was compelled as a soldier to follow it, and fell at the first shot on a platform overlooking the North River and New York City, reeking with the blood of former victims. This was the crisis of Aaron Burr's career, and it is here the lecturer soars into eloquence. The character of Alexander Hamilton is, he thinks, as yet but little understood and ap preciated by his countrymen. Of all his contem poraries only one excelled him, and that was Ed mund Burke, yet this great man was foully slain by a vile hand, though in accordance with the rules of " honour." But the rules of honour did not shield Aaron Burr from a nation's wrath and the Divine displeasure. From the day when America's greatest I statesman died in agony by the hand of him who was then luxuriating in his bath, enjoying a French novel to that of his own death. Aaron Burr's course was steadily downwards ; down from the pinnacle of the Vice-Pesidency, whereon he stood, to a pauper's grave. The lecturer himself buried him, and the undertaker who had requested his attendance said that of the hundreds he had interred he had never seen a case of more abject poverty. Yet this was the end of a man singularly gifted by nature, whose hand was at one time on the chair of the Chief Ma gistracy, whose seat for a term was that of the Vice- President, and who actually organized an expedi tion to wrest Mexico from the Spaniards, and to establish himself as Emperor in the Halls of the Montezumas. The lecturer gives a touching picture of the only love that ever entered that heart of stone—his daughter, and her end. The death of her only child, and her own loss at sea following swiftly after, enable him to work up his picture to the grand climax of Aaron Burr's last moments — solitary and alone ; stripped, bare of love, of wealth, of character ; as fine a moral, as fine a picture, as ever pen sketched or brush painted. We must not omit a remark, it may be a casual one, of the lec turer. Aar, n Burr, the wicked, commanded an equal vote with the patriot Jefferson ; and Alexan der Hamilton, the good, could not have secured votes sufficient to make him town constable, yet there lived in his day but one man superior to him.
