The second arrest of the Cuban "Junta" in New York is a decisive testimony to the neutral policy of the American Government. For a time it seemed as if Pre sident Grant's Ministry could not safely resist the current of popular sympathy on the side to the Cuban insurgents. Various expeditions were allowed to sail from American ports unnoticed. -It was 'openly asserted that the Washington Cabinet winked at, if not encouraged, the rebellion. But this second arrest shews that President- Grant is resolved to fulfil the duty which the neutrality laws impose upon him, and henceforth it is clear that the sending of assistance to the Cubans will be beset by great difficulties. The Cuban " Junta," as it is caned, is simply an agency established in New York for keeping up the flame of rebellion by the fuel of American resources. And though this Junta has no recognised existence or authority, it is yet very formidable, as witness the thir teen expeditions recently sent off to the great Spanish island, and the fact that the • rebel army now con sists of as many Americans as Cubans. In fact, New York has done for Cuba what Athens did for for Crete. This sort of thing will now become much more difficult. - If anything can keep up the insurrection it is the support of the American filibusters; if these can be kept from interrering, the rebeiflon must fail. Whether it deserves to succeed or not is quite another questio:r, and can in no wise affect the line of conduct which President Grant ought, to pursue as the head of a neutral Power.

The directors draw special attention to the fact thet 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.

The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 is. 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 tho risks re - as sured having . terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of mew:gement are loss than thoseof 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.

BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN LA• 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 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 tiou 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 likewlse 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 lesued on this plan will bo withm any conditions as to voyaeing, 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, end the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this clisa as security, may Itnow the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to in - tintain the full benefit of the Assurat:zes---a matter of great importance where policies are bold as collateral security. It is only necesxtry to add that, as n eons9quencP of the policies under 11,ese-tables being un forfeitable and uncol ditional, they will nko be tmchalleur,oable _on any c.routul whatever.

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, ie 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 end 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.

General Grant and hia family, it will be remembered, narrowly escaped destruction through a railway accident at Annapolis. This event made a great impression upon him. The danger to his family affected him much more than the personal peril of many hotly-contested fields, and he declined all hospitalities until the impression: wore off. The accident was brought about in a very singular manner. A cow was struck by the engine whilst passing through a cutting, and thrown upon the bank. Ths engine, tender, baggage, and mail cars passed by, but the animal rolled dor:7l the I —tick Toler the wheels of the first passenger car. It was thrown off the line and de stroyed, two or three succeeding cars following it. The latter part of the train was not injured. Several persons were seriously hurt, but none fatally. TILE ALABAMA CLAIMS. It has already been stated that Mr. Reverdy Johnson is preparing an elaborate vindication of his Ministerial course. The .2Veto York. Times says that not only will the late ambassador to England ende.aronr to prove that he did no more than obey his instructions, but he will bring evidence to chew that Mr. Sumner himself knew and approved the policy entrusted to him before he left Engla )d. 16.1%.AZ1L AND THE UNITED STATES. The bruzsine departure of Mr. Webb, the American or to Brazil, from Rio Janeiro, will not give rise tc aLy serious difficulty. Not only had Mr. Webb been recalled previously to his quarrel with the Brazilian Government, but the Ministry at Washington does not support his policy. lie had written very offensively respecting the claim of the United States in re the ship Canada, a question of many years standing. THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. By the French mail steamer Aunis we get some details of recent engagements in Paraguay. Some 200 Para guayans in ambuscade recently attacked an exploring party of Brazilians, and inflicted a little loss at first. They were, however, soon driven back. A Brazilian naval expedition, consisting of three monitors and three small steamboats, was attacked by the Paraguayans whilst ascending the unexplored river Manduvira, in search of the last steamers remaining in the possession of Lopez; This expedition advanced up the stream, and overcame— so say the Brazilians—the obstructions laid by the Paraguayans, and finally got unnoticed behind Lopez's camp, but the steamers could not be reached. The Brazilians, however, found plenty of em ployment in getting back again to safe quarters, for the waters of the river rapidly went down, and the Para. guayans attempted to obstruct their retreat by throwing into the stream carts laden with stones, large trees, tor pedoes, and four times crossing thick ropes from one bank to the other. The rams of the monitors, however, cut through these obstructions, and in the meantime their artillery silenced two guns erected on a battery, and the fire of about 1,200 Paraguayans posted on both banks. The expedition got safely back, bringing the important news that the camp of Lopez was easily accessible by way of this river. SAFETY OF THE AMERICAN AMBASSADOR IN PARAGUAY. The United States Minister to Paraguay, Mr. Mac- Mahon, whose safety was so much feared, has been heard of. An English officer has sent a despatch, and received an answer sheaving quite clearly that the Ambas sador is alive. The Allies are trying to deliver to him some correspondence from the Washington Government, containing his recall from Paraguay, as well as the dis approval of his conduct in following the errant cx-dictator from village to village in his capacity of representative of the United States. TZIE n.in.wAr Arrurn. Baron de Beaulieu, the Belgian Minister at London, arted cn Tuesday, for Brussels, on receipt of a tele t7raphic summons. It is highly prolable that the railway cneeti , :n between Belgium and FraLce is the subject of his mission. It is no secret that great ditLculties have misen in the negotiations resp«-ting this affair, and it is asserted by many gout authorities that the diplomatic assistance of _England has been earnestly sought by the Brussels Cabinet. This railway dispute has proved very troublesome, if serious. THE KING OF PRUSSIA IN HANOVER. The Park makes a remarkable statement touching the King of Prussia's recent visit to Hanover. It maintains that his Majesty met with a very cold reception from the inhabitants ; the enthusiasm manifested all came front the soldiery and officials. The Putrie further learns that it has been decided to make the Hanoverians pay the whole expenses of the royal reception, and as a great many of the inhabitants left the capital iu order to avoid meeting with the King, the Governor has ordered the whole sum to be paid by these fugitives " They have hastened to obey this demand, declaring to the financial agents that the chance of flying from the sight of their country's enemies was worth paying dearly for." This is, indeed, a strange statement ; but the Patries effusions require confirmation whenever the topic happens to be Prussia. DISTURBANCES IN ITALY. Fresh popular demonstrations have taken place in several of the principal cities of Italy—Turin, Milan, Naples, Bergamo, and Reggio ; but, according to the O f ficial Gazette of Florence, they were of very little con- sequence. At Milan the people themselves dispersed the rioters, who in all cases consisted of the dregs of the population. The soldiers were cheered by the people ; but the employment of arms was not needed. The Official Gazelle charges the Mazziniaus with getting up these miserable outbreaks, and so does the Nazione. It does not promise much for the future of the revolutionary party if its achievements are to bp nonfined to this sort of thing. B UDGET OF MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.—The steamer Golden City sailed from San Francisco, May 31, for Pa nama, with $785,000 in t-easure, of which $670,000 were for England, $95,000 for New York, and $20,000 for Pa nama.—An American paper says there is said to bo a call for an American to go to Loudon and start a hotel there on the American plan.—The Hansom Cab Company of New York City having procured an Act of Incorporation from the Legislature of the State of New York, have opened books for subscription to their capital stock.
