The municipal authorities went in solemn procession to the New Humboldt Park ; they were followed by many artisans and some, popular . , societies. The Burgomaster addressed the assembly, and said they were celebrating the memory of one of the greatest men that ever benefited humanity. The syndic of the town read the document to be enclosed in the foundation-stone, which recounts the resolution of the Town Council to honour the memory of the great man by the creation of a Humboldt Park. A congratulatory tele gram was received from the Crown Prince and Princess, who were at Stettin at the time ; it said that. Berlin honoured herself by doing honour to her great fellow-townsman. The chairman of the Town Cuncil uttered the closing oration. The weather was very unpropitious, and the ceremony did not realise the expectations that had been formed of it. Humboldt was a decided Liberal, and to this circumstance may bo attributed the cold ness with which the Government and the mist°, cracy regarded the'affair. In th 3 evening some private festivities took place. Tho Geographical Society had the most attractive gathering, and was well attended. Pure:, Mild, Mellow, Delicious, and very Whole.sozne.

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 n; ne event of in ability or unwillingness to continuo 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 pi emium 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 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-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, amount I bey may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the A ssoranz..es—a matter of great importance whore policies aro held as collateral security. It is ouly necessary to aslci that, as a consequence of the policies under these tlbles being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also ho unchallengeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore l 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 bngini-ms of any &Ike in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARDEN, Secretary. THE CAMBRIAN LEAGUE AND THE WELSH BISHOPS. The Rev. W. Walsham How, rector of Whittington, has addressed the following letter to the Osteestry Advertiser : "I seo by your paper that an association called the Cam brian League has framed a petition in which it is com plained that the present Bishop of St. Asaph, though not understanding a word of Welsh, has drawn £90,000 from the Church during his episcopate of twenty-eight years. ; am wholly in favour of Welsh-speaking bishops for Wales, but I should like to make known through your columns a little fact with regard to the enormous sum which is, I dare say, rightly calculated as that expended by a defrauded and indignant people in support of an alien prelate. I have it from the bishop's own lips that ho has given away the whole of his episcopal income ever since he became bishop. He said that having private means sufficient for, his needs, he was very thankful to have been able to do this. I am sure he is the last man to wish this fact made public, but I believe that, in days when all snorts of foolish and unjust charges arc made against bishops, it is well such a fact should be known. I have reason to believe it is less than the truth, and that the bishop's liberality has by no means been bounded by the limits of his episcopal revenue. If we could know the proportion of their income given away by the bench of bishops, I think it would astonish many persons very much. But I would only ask one question in regard to this somewhat mercenary view of a bishop's usefulness. Is tlaere any lay landed proprietor in the diocese of St. Asaph who has given away in proportion one half or one quarter of what the bishop has given ?" The death is announced of Captain John liudsrm, R.N.; who was for many years Governor of the Queen's Bench Prison. Mr. Thomas Cooke Trench, a magistrate of the county of Kildare, has written to the Evening Mail to " dedi cate a sum of £3,000 to the future EOivice of the Irish Church." The health of Mr. David Williams, of Castellden draeth, the Liberal member for the county Iferioneth, is (according to the Liverpool Courier) giving cause to great apprehension on the part of his friends. A strange affair has taken . place . . at Salford. A young Irishman has been shot, and, although in danger, refuses to give information as to tho person who shot him, except that ho is as good a man as himself. The Bombay Association (consisting of native gentlemen of influence) Las Loen led to withdraw its opposi tion to the Act now before the Government, making Vaccina tfon compulsory. The boy Charles Gritt was again brought up on remand on Saturday, before Mr. E. J. Phillips and Dr. Woollett, charged with causing the death of Emily Amelia Collier, by administering poisoned wheat to her on Easter Monday last. The bench remanded the prisoner for a week. The unfortunate Iloylake Railway was on Satu. - day put up in lots for sale by auction at Chester, under an order made by the Court of Chancery to satisfy claims of creditors. Only two of the four lots were disposed of, bidders fighting shy owing to the probability of a purchase involving further litigation in Chancery. A Mrs. Swann was killed by an express train at Leyland station, near Preston, on Friday. The d c. - escd, when in the act of crossing tho line, saw a goods iraiu ap proaching on the far rails, and while keeping her eye on it she failod to see the express engine coming along the line on which sho was standing. Tho poor woman's husband pick' d up her lifeless and cru3! cd hod:. The Marquess of But (says the Western Mail), has cifered unconditionally to pay off the whole of the remaining dolt upon tho Cardiff Inffrmary. Thismunifi cent donation takes the form of a birthday gift. The wen k ing men of the town and neighbourhood have for montb been making strenuous efforts to lighten the terrible load of debt (about £1,200) which has 60 long been hanging over that institution. On Monday Thomas Whellock, the proprietcr of a bcerhonse at Highgate, was charged wit'u using treasonable language to Corporal James Bains, of the Royal Horse Artillery. On Tuesday last the corporal went to Whelloek's house and informed him, in the Queen's name, that on the following day two soldiers would be billeted on him. He at once said, "D —n and b—t her Majesty, and you too." Ho was fined 40s. and costs, a case bang taken on the question whether a beerhouso is a public place. A meeting of working men was held in Manchester on Saturday to consider the stagnation of trade. The un equal operations of the freo trade policy at present at work were the suljects of discussion, and a Coventry weaver bitterly complained of the French treaty. There was an opposition meeting, which performed its part so effectually that the police had to interefere. Resolutions condemning the present state of things, and calling upon Parliamrta to intorpoie, were passed. A ir ee.ing of certificated achcolmasters iu Brad fort and the district was held at the Exchange, Bradford, on Saturday, under the auspices of the YorksLiro Board of Education. The object was to induce the masters present to co-operate with the board in carrying out the scheme of the Department of Science and Art in regard to scientific education. At Leeds thirty-sown masters became members of the science class upon a similar appeal. After some discussion of the subject, several schoolmasters en rolled themselves as members of the projected science class at Bradford. Two barns and other buildings on a farm in the occupation of Mr. J. Oldham, in the suburbs of Leamington, were on Sunday destroyed by fire. Owing to the cxcrtioLs of the local fire brigade numerous and valuable eic ks of wheat and other grain were saved. The firs•, which Lroke out simultaneou,ly in different portions of the buildings, is supposed to have bo' , n the work of an incen diary. A journeyman dyer named Ilan gave himself up this morning, and confessed that he had caused the fire. 111 states that he did it because he was tir. d of his life and war:ted to bo transported. His narrat've is corroborated by various facts. The arrangements for the forthcoming Church Congress in Liverpool are now almost complete. The meetings will be held in the great room of St. George's hall, where especial accommodation for the speakers will be provided, so that by means of sounding-boards and the placing of the platform at the middle of the west sido there is every probability that the addresses will be heard distinctly in every part of the hall. The proceedings aro so arranged that, except in a single instance, only one meet ing will be in progress at the same time, but little publicity has been given to the arrangements. Ladies will be ad mitted to all the meetings, and are not expected to :appear in full dress. At a meeting held at Bradford by the Working- Men's Association, Archdeacon Sandford said that he bad been endeavouring to induce the Arch bishop of Canterbury to take his place in the van of the Temperance Movement. The Archbishop bad writ- On to him snyiug, "I have weighed your letter for a week, and I ism much dial ose I to consent to your request for I have studied your report, and I go with it to the fullest extent. But this is a movement which must to carried on by the people." The archbishop had also asked for another copy of his report to send to Mr. Gladstone, as ho wished to keep the subject before him. ATTEMPTED DEMONSTRA.LION AT WOOrWICH.-- The last batch of men left the Woolwich Dockyard on Saturday. Some of the smiths before leaving managed to hoist a Mack flag to the top of the smithy shaft, on which a groan was set up for Messrs. Gladstone, Childers, and Bright. In the smithy shop a dummy was strung up to a representation of a gallows. this was said to, bo an eff3gy of "Mr. Childers, the poor man's friend," and it came in for a largo share of curses and blows. in differ eat parts of the . town blaok flags, bearing the skull and cross-bones, were to be seen, and an attempt was rnads Terra a funeral procession, headed, by a band playing th 9 "DeikZlavell to [3:ul,"' but tlia of RIL N EATH AND BRECON RAILWAY COMPANY.

The New York Citizen and Round Table remarks : —"ln none of the notices of the Siamese Twins that we have seen has mention been made of the famous Scotch double man, of whom the following curious account is given in the 'Rerum Scoticarum Historia:'—‘ During the reign of James the Third of Scotland, and at his Court, there lived a man, double above the waist, single below that region. The King caused him to be carefully brought up. He rapidly acquired a knowledge of music. The two heads learned several languages ; they debated together, and the two upper halves occasionally fought. They lived generally, however, in the greatest harmony. When the lower part of the body was tickled the two indivi duals felt it together ; but when, on the other hand, one of the upper individuals was touched, ho alone felt the effect. This monstrous being died at the ago of twenty eight years. One of the bodies died several days before the other." The New York Evening Post has the following upon "curious contrasts":—" The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is paid $6,500 a year, and the Auditor in the Custom House in this city is paid $7,000 a year ; the Chief Justice of the Court of Claims in Washington is paid $l,OOO a year ; the Clerk of the Com mon Council of this city is paid $5,000 a year; the Attor ney-Goneral of the United States is paid $B,OOO a year; the Counsel to the Corporation of this city is paid $lO,OOO a :ear, besides pickings; the Chi. f Justice of the Supremo Court of the District of Columbia is paid 83,000 a year; and the Justice of the First District Court in this city is paid $5,000 a year. cADVERTISEMENT.
