BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- L FORFEITABLE UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLM, issued 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 be 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 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 ing either an ascertained fixed 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 future reference to the Company on these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. 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 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 bowehout any conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, her 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 bolding policies of this class as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called Lupon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurances—a matter of great inipor tance where policies arifilitild - as - ge41 , 4 ,, ral security. these tables betty , unfor feitable and uncoil poilitciiessounnlydenreeessary ditional, they will also he nneh allen g eable on any ground to acid that, as a consequence of the 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.

The assets of the association at the close of the year amountec} to £667,493 Bs. sd. The directors draw special attention to the fact that the next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year 1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate in the same. 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. It is scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct. By order of the Board, JOHN MESSENT, Actuary and Secretary. London, March 18, 1869. EAGLE INSURANCE COMPANY, LONDON. Report of the Directors for the year ending the 30th June, 1868, read at the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors, August 14, 18 68— Colonel CHARLES WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in the Chair. The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT; 30TH JUTE, 1868.

HENRY uditors ENRY ROSE, The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £511,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £109,651 11s. 5d.; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by- viz., .£131.511 14s. 91—raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 61 The interest received during the year is £117,581 75. 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 he considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £16,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cont. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. Tho claims on decease of lives assured aro 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 less 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 whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5} per cent. on tho total income. The balance-sheet is as follows :- 1 D R . LIABILITIES.

THOMAS A LLEN,} Auditors. HENRY ROSE, _ - - The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown by this account. On ccrnparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about £ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030 3s. 3d. - _ The direction of the company is now constituted as follows: Ti; Right Hon.

The concourse of people was scarcely as large as .usual. The Prince of Wales was there, so was the Pr in cess ; so was not the Duke of Newcastle ; so was not, the as ;1 for a different reason, your London correspondent. I IN ell neither draw upfm my imagination for my facts, nor lesson my memory for my jokes, but pass on to other top' CS . '1 Ile political betting just now is extremely wild. There is a ,slark horse about whom people arc exceedingly .curs' ells, and even more uncertain. They cannot make up f ae,.r minds as to how he will run, or, indeed, whether he v iFii run at all If he do run it is firmly believed that he va , be able to give a very good account of himself. To elm age the metaphor, the young lulus of the Conservative no other than that eminently sound theologian am!.. .n.aiodox Churchman, Lord Westbury. It is the ri fit hand of this peer of spotless life and unimpeachable eea who is to save the Irish Ilium if that Ilium is to be say , yd. Thwe of us who remember the Sir Richard Bet !sell of Aylesbury and Wolverhampton.lays, are, of cost •se, acquainted with the fact that he was always a :Ann ncli Con.ervati ee passionately attached to the ( !Oa litution in Church and State, bitterly opposed to. sill Radical innovations upon the rights of the C rcr.vn, or of private property. Those of us who remember bins giving judgment in the "Essays and Reviews" case are equally conscious of the fact that he is ardently attakhecl to all the creeds and formularies of our Church. Malicious persons have said that he was a Radical, and that he is turning Tory now for the same reason that Brougham did ; but then greatness, especially when it is allied with virtue and retiring modesty, must always expect to be slandered and maligned. It is to this eminent person, to this model statesman and stainless gentleman, that the Opposition are now looking for powerful aid in defeating the Ministerial measure. Meanwhile, I do not believe that the Conservative peers have made up their minds as to the course they will pursue. I know that only a few days ago a nobleman, who held office in the late Administration, was unable to say what his friends would do. The agitation against the bill is to be fomented vigorously during the next fortnight, in order that, should-it be eventually decided to throw it out, the leaders may be able to point to these meetings, and the resolutions passed at them, petitioning the Lords to reject the Ministerial measure. It is generally understood on both sides that the second reading will come on June 14, and previously to that there will be a muster of the Conservative Peers, probably at Lord Derby's house. The chief debater; will be,-on the Minis terial side, Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, the Earl of Kimberley, the Earl of Clarendon, Earl de Grey, Lord Hatherley, and Lord Romilly, the two last dealing with the legal technicalities that will be raised. On the Oppo sition side will be the Earl of Derby, Lord Cairns, the Duke of A.larlborough, the Duke of Abercorn, and probably some other members of Mr. Disraeli's ducal body-guard. The Marquis of Salisbury and the Earl of Carnarvon will, it is expected, go together, and while acting independentlyof their party in the main, will support amendments, but not oppose the bill in Coto. Earl Grey will be sure to take the course which everyone is sure that he will not take. The greatest curiosity is felt about Earl Russell and Lord Westbury. The first is expected to support the bill on the second reading, and to be troublesome in committee. Of the second all kinds of manoeuvres possible and impossible are anticipated. I hear nothing definite respecting the rumoured eleva tion of Mr. Chichester Fortescue to the peerage. No doubt his post is one involving much work and more anxiety ; but these would hardly be deemed reasons for abandoning it just now, unless the occupant of the post felt absolutely incapacitated. Mr. Fortescue's wife, Frances Countess of Waldegrave, has long been one of the queens of fashion, and her entertainments at Strawberry Hill, illustrious by its connection with Horace Walpole, are events in the aristocratic world. The Cabinet have just now other sources of anxiety besides Ireland. The Spanish Government has, after long delay, absolutely refused to do justice in the Tornado case. The great difficulty of acting in this matter arises from the unsettled state of Spain. It would seem the height of ungenerosity to threaten that inorganic body which now bears rule at Madrid. Thus it is possible that Spain may escape by reason of her very helplessness. A good deal of interest is naturally felt in the fate of the Telegraphs Bill. The protracted character of the arbitration in the case of Reuter's Telegram Company led to the supposition that it would be impossible to pass the measure this year ; and certainly the bill would not have been carried into effect if other companies had given an equal amount of trouble. The evidence in the case of Renter's Company has now been closed, and the award will probably be given in a few days. Arrangements have been concluded with the other telegraph companies which will avoid the necessity of further arbitration. Suitable allowances having been made for depreciation and con tingencies, and the Post-office authorities being satisfied as to the saressteess of _the accounts, the sum to he paid in each case has been settled in accordance with the terms of the Act passed last session. The terms agreed upon will be equitable to the Telegraph Company, although they involve a considerable reduction on the amount originally asked. From the thorough manner in which the whole case has been gone into, the Government will get a full equivalent for the purchase money. It is understood that Mr. Lowe and Mr. Goschen still insist upon the Post-office having a monopoly of the telegraphs, and that Parliament will be asked to sanction it. We shall be better prepared to deal with this question when we hear Mr. Lowe's reasons. It appears to me the case might be met by granting a monopoly for a limited period, to be renewed or discontinued as experience may justify. The body of poor Sir Wentworth Mike is expected to arrive in England to-night or to-morrow. There has been a good deal of difficulty in getting it conveyed here, in consequence of the superstition which in Russia attaches to everything connected with the dead. There was something peculiarly sad in the circumstances of Sir Wentworth's death. His youngest son had succeeded in gaining a scholarship, and was thereupon told that he (Sir Wentworth) would take him for a holiday to any part of the Continent he might choose. Young Dilke chose Russia. On their way to St. Petersburg by rail they met a bitter northern wind. Sir Wentworth was at once laid up with quinsey, the symptons became quickly aggravated, and in a few hours he was dead, with none of his friends near him but his son, a lad of 18. The Duke of Genoa is now settled at Harrow, as a boarder, at Mr. Matthew Arnold's. The royal pupil is treated precisely in the same way as other boys, and has to act as fag, although I needseareely say that the fag of to-day has amuch easier time of it thanhisfatherhad. The Duke's friends have shewn the greatest liberality with regard to his religious teaching, and save that he goes to London every Sunday in order to hear Mass, instead of attending service in Harrow Chapel, there is no sort of restriction upon his communication with "heretics." The Duke is a good linguist, and speaks four languages fluently. He has taken a good place in his form. He is the first prince of the blood who has ever been to any public school here or on the Continent, and it is not a little complimentary to Harrow that it should have been selected for the first ex periment of this kind. It is now, I believe, more than twenty years ago that English lovers of music were fascinated by a new and magnificent bass, in the person of Herr Formes. He was not only a good singer, but a good actor, and several times appeared in opera. Latterly he has disappeared from our view. We heard of him in Russia and other countries, but, save a brief tour about eight years ago, he has not appeared before an English assembly for a long period. Quite recently he has been living at Liverpool, where he has been preparing for the stage. He is now, next Wed nesday that is, about to make his appearance in London, at the Princess's Theatre, and in the character of Shylock. Miss Faithfull, ever seeking some new field for women's enterprise, has discovered one for such women as are not, as she is, up to literary work. She has started a society which will procure work for ladies, and supply them with materials at moderate prices. At present all the mate rials for fancy work are charged at fancy prices. This alone is almost an insuperable obstacle to women who would escape from their poverty by the use of the crochet-needle or the knitting-pin. I need hardly add that the shops which charge a maxi mum for the raw material pay a minimum f or the material when it is made up. Fancy workers unit be content to pay not only exor bitant p rices for their w l, o? . but to get starving prices for their embroidery. tle.
