BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- La- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL,' and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. Established 1848. Branch Office-7, King-street, St. James's. .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, i a; ne 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 clans 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 pm tniums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi nally contracted to be paid. Besides this important advantage, every policy will ox pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 sot 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 be 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 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 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 a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfaitablo and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground 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. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. that of the young Preten.ler. This Moreno, an Italian of Roman birth, introduces hiMself as hav ing served on the Nana's staff at Cawnpore and Delhi, which is tantamount to saying that he had not seen a shot fired except in butchering an unarmed man. The Nana never was at Delhi daring the mutiny, and as this Moreno talks of the fugi tives travelling north-west after the fall of the Im perial City, it lea& us to the belief that Frank Leslie has been deceived by an impudent impostor. The Nana remained in his lair till smoked out by the operations of Havelock and the other advancing Generals, when he took refuge in Bareilly with Khan Bahadur Khan, with whom he fied, precipi tately, on the approach of Lord Clyde and Sir John Jones. We would like to know who this Moreno is who boasts in the columns of a widely circulated American newspaper of his connection with one of the foulest and most cowardly crimes of this or any other age. As this is the second time he has been introduced to the public through the same medium, and as the Nana is made to assume the appearance of a hero leading a revolt, we may say, that the latter is only remarkable in India for cowardice and cruelty, and for want of capacity to understand the nature of his own pro ceedings. lle did nothing to forward the interests of the mutineers but murder the garrison of Cawnpore, after its capitulation, in breach of a solemn promise, and by that act forced the garrison of Lucknow to the extremity of dying, sword in hand, rather than surrender ; a resolution which, acted out, probably saved India. Had Gen. Wheeler's command, with the women and children, been permitted in the terms of the surrender to proceed down the Ganges to Calcutta, the garrison of Luck now, finding itself in a desperate extremity, might also have capitulated, when even a few of the Sepoy regiments thus relieved from that difficult siege, would have been sufficient to overwhelm the British army in ifs desperate attack on Delhi. The first step backwards would have been the sig nal for a general rise, and the British Dominions, which it had taken a century to establish, would in a few weeks have been limited to the three Presi sidency towns. Never did a man perpetrate so atrocious a crime, and at the same time so fatal a blunder as the Nana at Cawnpore, and never was there fought so momentous a struggle which brought to the surface on the side of the revolu tions less capacity of any kind ; courage, patriotism, self-sacrifice, or nobility of any sort. If Mr. Moreno likes to be associated with the Nana and Cawnpore, so let it be, but at the same time let people understand what that asssociation means. RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN. J The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want of room for stowage. every inch of available space being occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children, but no more can be admitted in the present building. £B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished for and urgent scheme. Contributions will be thankfully received by the Trea surer, E.S.lNorris, Esq., Shadwell ; or by SHERBRD B. BURNABY, Hon. Sec., Rectory, Wapping, E. On the 10th August, about 500 members of the family of Lyman from Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and the Canadas, and from all parts of the old Bay State, assembled in . a beautiful grove on that portion of Mount Tom called Nonotuck. Tho Rev. Dr. Coleman delivered a genealogical address from statistics gathered by himself, assisted by Miss Julia E. Lyman of Hartford, opening with an eloquent tribute to Richard Lyman, the founder of the family in America, who came that her from High Ongar, England. His descendants now number, according to the most careful estimate, 3,125, and have been always noted for piety and intelligence. An American Lyman, now resident in London, has traced the ancestry there back to a nobleman, and thence to Malcolm, ono of the ancient Scottish kings. Thus the Lymans have Scotian and royal blood. It is reported that a baronetcy and an estate of $5,000,000 has fallen to the Americans of that name, but doubtless many years will elapse ere any of them will realize much from it. Many of the Lymans have attained the age of 70, 80, and 90 years. The speaker's mother, a daughter of Timothy Lyman of Chester, and wife of Dr. William Coleman, actively engaged in household duties for 76 years, and was a church communicant during all that time. She lived 66 years with her husband and 10 years after his death, and died last December, nearly 93 years old. Notwith standing the orthodoxy of the race in politics and reli gion, there are some departures from the faith of their fathers. One Rev. Father Lyman of Baltimore, is a Ca tholic priest. Another is an associate of Brigham Young. The third of the twelve Mormon :apostles is Amass M . Lyman. He has been written to for facts that would in dicate the branch to which he belonged, but he replied very indefinitely. The party comprising the picnic voted to hold a similar gathering two years hence, the exact time and place being left in the hands of a committee, to be named by a nominating committee there chosen. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Henceforth no oue will doubt the valuable properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it has already received from Invalids whose position had been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Gazette du Midi," July 25th :—"Rome,July 21,1866. - The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabic°.

The balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d. The assets of the association at the close of the year amounted 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.

AN ENGLISH WORKING-MAN ON AMERICA. No. 2 of Mr. Coningsby's series of letters to the Spectator was published last week, and is a paper of much interest. The opinions of a man so intelli gent on the press of both countries, and on the dif ferent classes of society, are entitled to respect, and they are evidently genuine. I n news, be bolds the American papers to be superior to those of Eng land; but .inferior in their comments and discus sion of the topics of the day. While admitting this, we maintain the admirable character of the reports furnished to the American press in such full detail, gathered at such expense, and on questions of much interest; we mean such instanc 's as that just now furnished by the Times through its special cownis.sioner to inquire into the Irish Land Question, and these, together with the comprehensive sum mary of news, in our opinion, give the leading papers of New York the highest place in journalism. But there is a press of which we know nothing, alluded to by Mr. Coningsby—low, obacene, scurri lous prints, largely published and cheaply sold— which tend to much demoralization in all, but more in the class above the working-men, and of these papers Mr. Coningsby speaks in terms of strong censure. The American workmen generally, ho pronounces to be much more religious than their fellows in England ; indeed he broadly states that there is little or no religion among these classes in England, and he asks whether an excursion train would be filled by the inducement he once saw advertised in New York that the excursionists could hear two sermons and be back in time. When travelling westward, the cars, being filled with rough-bearded men armed to the teeth, the hunters keeping their hands in by shooting prairie dogs from the windows, a clergyman entered, and said, " Ladies and gentlemen, silence for the Word of God." Instantly every head was uncovered, and though he scanned the faces attentively, during the prayers and psalm-singing, all looked serious and reverent, without an approach to the sheepish. half ashamed look he would have detected among an English congregation so caught. Religion is seen in the innumerable churches, in the way •in which all earnest and good sects thrive, and equally pervades society through every grade of rich and poor. The feature which most surprised Mr.. Coningaby was the power of listening displayed by the Americans. He was all the more astonished at their endurance in this re spect, as he had left England under the impression that they were essentially a talking community, instead of which he found them to be a listening community. They go any distance to a lecture ; they will sit for hours listening to a speech or a ser mon, and in conversation he always found any num ber of Americans ready to listen as long as he had anything to say worth listening to. Another error he corrected by actual contact with the people was the nature of their speeches. lie expected them to launch into " highfaluten," that they would de nounce in buncombe, and soar into spread-eagleism. Instead of this, he found the speeches' similar to those he would have heard in England, in subject and in treatment, but, on the whole, more fluently delivered. In no case did he find the orator run into greater extravagance, if as great, as would have been called forth by the same subject in Great Britain, and although he met with men whoassertedAmerica to be a paradise on earth, and the institutions of the United States to be Heaven-sent, they did not ex ceed in number those he would have come across in his own country. His letters promise to be worthy of extensive circulation in America as well as in England, which they are assured by the columns of the Spectator. COURSE OF .EXCHANGE.
