A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN ca- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London, E.O. 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 p•olnulgate the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional, and Ih:challengeable. 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 nny other cause whatever; while at the same time it ;Ibselntely guarantees at decease, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect' of every premium paid, bracing the same propor tion to the total amount assured es the number of pre miums actually pail may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to l:e 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 Besides this important advantage, every , policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 ou these points, as is the case with ordinary assurances. Creditors asturing 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 bo 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 1 -ngest 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 chss as security, may always know the utmost amount they may he called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assui anzes—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 unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also he unchallengeablo on any 'round whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Pi,licies. The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos sesses an iueome of £215,000 a year Its position is un• questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of now business of any office in the Kingdom.

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, 1868—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, 30Tx JUNE, 1868.

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 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 less than those of last par 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 per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : Da. LIABILITIES.

THOMAS A LLEN,} HENRY ROSE, Auditors. The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown by this account. On comparing it with that of 1867, it will be observed that further investments have been made on mortgage and in the Governn:ent 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 Bs. 3d. The direction of the company is now constituted as follows : The Right Hon.

ROME, Jun 12. The French elections, in spite of the adherence of the greater number of the official candidates to the programme of continued occupation at Rome, have been far too favourable to the extreme revolutionary party to inspire much confidence here. If the Emperor is hard pressed, he is more likely, it is thought, to yield to the Republicans, who threaten his dynasty, than to the Catholics, whom, be believes, will not resort to extreme measures against him, even should he abandon Rome. Moreover, he has obtained all they can give him, and they will probably be less &amorous creditors than Jules Favre and Garnier-Paes. The subserviency of official candidates is far too notorious for Catholics to place any trust in their independent action, and no assu rances have been received here since the elections that enable us to consider the continuance of the occupation a settled matter. The festival of the " Statute,"•on the 7th, seems to have been celebrated by very serious riots all over Italy, and especially at Parma, where the authorities were insulted, and cries of " Viva la Republica !" raised. A number of arrests were made that day at Cozenza, in Calabria, among Menotti's adherents, and some correspondence of his seized. Mazzini is thought to have returned in disguise to Italy, to be near the scene of events should the moment come ; but of his whereabouts nothing certain is known. The Pope enters the twenty-fourth year of his Pontificate next week. He is 77 years of age, and his two brothers are four and seven years older. He is extremely well, and drove on Monday to the Church of St. Francis, of Rome, in the Torrino, the transfer of whose relics had taken plaza there the day before. The excavations at the Emporium have been very suc cessful this week, and seventeen blocks of marble and alabaster of great value have been disinterred.—A curious fact is reported from Naples. Vesuvius has begun to throw up a quantity of saline crystals, so brilliant and perfect as to resemble diamonds. This beautiful natural phenomenon is being investigated, and excites great interest in the scientific world. There is very little political news of importance, all being in suspension till after the meeting of the Corps Legislatif. The Count of Girgenti has declared that he accepts the claims of Don Carlos as rightful King of Spain, and will sustain his cause ; and very nearly all the Isabellist generals have done the same, General Ileina among others. Catalonia has offered a sword to the Carlist General Wistany, and tho officers of the army are daily sending in their adherence to Don Carlos. The Duke of Montpensier has been requested by the Portuguese Government to leave Lisbon, and he is pre paring to go to Tangier, where be possesses a splendid palace. A remarkable instance of courage on the part of an Englishman occurred last week. During a fire which destroyed the pyroclinist Mazazzi's shop, it was recol lected that a large barrel of powder had been most foolishly, and in direct defiance of the law, left in the house. The firemen recoiled before the idea of venturing in to fetch it, and in a few minutes the street would have been blown up but for the daring gallantry of a young Englishman, Mr. Herbert Duke, a private of Zouaves, who was passing, and who had stopped to assist the fire men. He entered the burning house, and returned blackened with flame and smoke, but carrying the powder barrel on his shoulders! His courage saved the street from a most fearful explosion, which must have taken place in a few minutes had he hesitated to risk his life for the safety of others. The Scottish College, which has been under resto ration, was reoccupied yesterday by the students. The building is a beautiful one. The inde fatigable rector, Dr. Grant, will, it is expected, be seconded in his efforts to improve and extend its organisation. The Marquis of Bnte has, it is said, made a handsome donation to St. Andrea, which is now the most perfect collegiate building in Rome. It overlooks the Barberini Palace, and commands a splendid view from its upper terraces and galleries. Most conciliatory despatches regarding the Concordat and the Marriage laws have been received at the Vatican, and all discussion has been put off till the next session of the Reichsrath. Mgr. Negroni, present Governor of the Interior, will probably succeed Mgr. Chigi as Nuncio in Paris. FOREIGN NOTES. ANNEXATION MOVEMENT IN NOVA SCOTIA. Nothing, apparently, can reconcile the Nova Scotians to their union with the Dominion of Canada. Nct even the increased subsidy just granted by the Ottawa Parliament, though Nova Scotia bad previously joined the confedera tion on favourable terms, not even the fine example of " flezibility "—to put it mildly—setby Mr. Howe, the former leader of the Repeal party, can bring the discontented round. The recent divisions in the Assembly at Halifax, one rejecting a motion to make another appeal to England, prove that a majority in the local House are favourable to continuing the union; but it is also clear that there is a powerfnl disaffected party. A cable telegram which we published yesterday stated that the League formed to abrogate the connection with the Dominion had determined to adopt the policy of annexation to the United States. This resolution will probably ruin the Repealcrs. So long as they opposed only the connection with the Dominion they were sure to have some support ; but they can hardly succeed in persuading the Nova Scotians that the evils of the Confederation, whatever they may be, can be escaped by going over to the States. If the former union is but densome, the latter would be infinitely more so. If the Nova Scotians think they are now chastised with whips, they can clearly gain nothing by suffering the infliction of scorpions. THE BOSTON MUSICAL FESTIVAL. It is to behoped that President Grant and Mr. Thornton are enjoying themselves at Boston, whither, a cable mes sage informs us, they have gone to be present at the Great Peace Festival. The programme of the festival presents, at least, the merit of novelty. The " Star Spangled Banner " was to be sung with the ringing of bells, and the firing of cannon, not to speaking of countless military bands. "My Country, 'tis of thee," would be celebrated by a military band force of 500, the ringing of bells, and the firing of rifles and cannon "in the distance." Finally, the "Anvil Chorus" was to be given with an accompaniment of 100 anvils. May the festival in no wise affect the hearing of the distinguished statesmen who are present. GENERAL MACMAHON. The mail from Brazil brings news that an English officer has visited the encampment of Lopez, and has brought back despatches from General MacAlahon. This officei:, who is the representative of the United States in Paraguay, has not previously been heard of for many months past. Fears were entertained for his safety, but the news from Brazil will set them at rest. SPAIN AND CUBA. The Imparcial, one of the leading Spanish journals, makes a strange statement. It says that agents of the Government have been sent about to the newspaper offices to tamper with the Press, with a view to obtaining its advocacy for the sale of Cuba to the United States. The Spanish cause in Cuba is by no means hopeless, but the cost of carrying on the present desultory war at such a distance is too burdensome to be longer endured. The Spanish Government think they may as well have a good round sum for their fine possession, and they have, according to the indignant Impartial, invited the Press to get up an agitation on the subject. " THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE." Several of the French papers are to be prosecuted for publishing false intelligence. Why should not the semi official Patric undergo the same ordeal? This journal, which has recently taken to circulating mischievous reports, announced the other day that General Fleury had been appointed Ambassador at Florence, and that be was charged with the work of cementing a half-formed alliance between France, Austria, and Italy. This coalition, the Patric assured us, was to keep European affairs in order. Coming from a source intimately con nected with the Government, this announcement was generally believed ; but it seems that it is not true, and the fine scheme which the Patric founded upon it tumbles to pieces. THE HIGGS FAMILY IN HUNGARY. Swindling by ca s hi ers an d c l er k s h as b een carried to high point of perfection at Tokai, in Hungary. Several merchants' clerics in that neighbourhood formed them selves into an association for the plunder of their employers. They established agents in several places for the sale of the property which they abstracted from their places of business. As the organisation of regular agents pre vented the tracing of stolen property, the system pros pered so exceedingly well that several firms became bank rupt without being aware of the cause. At length, however, the disclosure came, and arrests aro now being made in all directions. LOSS OF TILE ABBATUCCI. The terrible collision in the Mediterranean between the steamer Abbatucci and a Norwegian brig, by which the former vessel was lost with many lives, is to be made the subject of inquiry. The captain appears to have entirely lost his self-possession at the time, and the crew are charged with making absolutely no effort to save the passengers. A Papal Consul-General and other persons of position perished. Several of the crew have been arrested. DUNVILLE and Co., Belfast, are the largeat holders of Whisky in the world.
