THE PUBLIC SUPPLIED AT WHOLESALE PRICE& The Protestantenverein will hold its session in Berlin at the beginning of October. The Supreme Ecclesiastical Court has refused the association the use of the Berlin Churches for its meetings. The attendance on the church services has been decreasing in Germany for many years and this Association of German Protestants has been formed to remedy the unsatisfactory state of things. Its object is to introduce a more liberal polity into the existing Church, and for this purpose it proposes to take the Church patronage out of the hands of the landowners, and give the congregation a voice in the matter. One of the principal means by which the German Protestant Association hopes to infuse more religions sentiment into Germany is by the development of mutual toleration. As yet the SOciety does not number many members, but it has obtained a great deal of encouragement.

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.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN 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 nnfrequently 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 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 iu 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 Lifo 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 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, 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 unforfoitable 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 X 215,000 a year. Its position is un questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of now business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary.

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 and 4,000 weekly.

INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS AT BASLE. The International Working Men's Congress at Basle has received a communication from Bohemia assuring its members of the sympathy of the working classes there. In a discussion which took place it was agreed that society bad a right to abolish private property in land and convert it into public property. A difficulty.trose as to what should be done with the land, and several contrary opinions were expressed by different speakers. Some excitement was produced by the appearance of the delegate appointed by the American Labour Congress, who was r ece i ve d w ith loud cheers. It was finally resolved that it be left to the next Congress to settle in what manner the resolutions of the committee were to be carried into effect. TILE AIIISTRLOT The recent disturbances which have prevailed through. out flohemia, have now extended to Austrian Poland. It is thought probable that the Emperor will visit Cracow in the course of the autumn. The elections to the Diet of Lemberg have produced considerable agitation in Galicia, and it is thought likely that the Democratic party will carry the day. If they should do so, it is expected they will follow the example of Hungary in former days, and, refusing to send deputies to the Vienna Beichsrath, demand a national Parliament. M. Giskra, the Minister of the Interior, has been consulting the pro vincial governors as to the most advisable measures for repressing the disturbances which have arisen in many parts of the empire. The governors suggest that a law of public safety should be immediately passed and rigorously applied to all foreigners resident on Austrian territory who may bo supposed capable of fomenting disorder. The recent troubles at Trieste are believed to be the origin of this suggestion. RUSSIAN RAILWAYS. The Russians have in contemplation some very ambi tious projects for' the extension of their railways. hitherto the lines have only run through the compara tively populous districts of the south, west, and centre of the empire, but it is now proposed to invade the vast solitudes of the north and east. There are about 5,400 English miles of railway open in Russia, and the greater part of these have beta laid down within the last eight years. During the next threo years 3,335 miles aro expected to be completed, but there are other and much more extensive schemes projected. The lines surveyed during the past year and now about to ba commenced 011 extend over no less than 10,000 English miles. The new lines in the South and West are to be run from Smolensk to Brest Litovsk ; from Rostov on the Don to the Central Caucasus ; and from Livna to Orel. In the East they extend from Tiflis, the chief town of the Caucasus, to Baku, on the Caspian Sea ; from Nijui-Novgorod to Ekaterinburg, the frontier town of Siberia ; from Mor shansk to Orenburg, the frontier town of Tartary. The northern lines will run from Yaroslavl to Vologda, and from Viatka, a town some 300 miles to the north-east of Nijni-Novgorod to Archangel. It will be noticed that many of these lines run through hitherto unfre quented districts, and are believed to be chiefly incontem plation as a means of averting the risk of famine. This they will do by bringing the distant and thinly populated provinces in direct communication with the great centres of trade and commerce. Some of them are also cal culated to strengthen the Russian position in Central Asia. SIR SAMUEL BAKER'S EXPEDITION. According to accounts that have been received from Alexandria, it appears that the expedition to Central Africa, under the superintendence of Sir Samuel Baker, will soon set out. It is expected that this undertaking will lead to the conquest of extensive territories for the Viceroy. Sir Samuel has received the title of Bey, and has arranged to remain for four years in the Egyptian service. Some of the best troops in Soudan have been placed under his command, and hostile operations are expected to take place in the country of the Bari tribe, which has refused to recognise the rule of the Egyptians. The Egyptian Government has not spared any expense in fitting out the expedition, and five iron river steamers are expected from England. Not less than £25,000 have already been spent in the preliminary arrangements but it is thought probable that the sum may be recovered during the first year's operations. BRAZILIAN DESPATCHES. The Patnie, in giving the latest accounts of the war in South America, ridicules the Brazilians for the ignorance displayed in their despatches. In their anxiety to record victories which only exist in their imagination, they have represented their fleet as attacking Pereheby, a little inland town which is Lopez's temporary capital. THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. The English consul at Bahia (Brazil) states that the war with Paraguay has depreciated in an unprecedented manner the value of the national currency. So long as the war lasts, he says, there is small expectation of any perceptible improvement in the general trade of the country. Bahia has already sent to the seat of war 18,330 men, and it can be readily understood that so large a con tribution of males in such a thinly -populated country cannot but eventually tell against its best interest and prosperity; the more so as the African race held in bondage is dying off, and the creoles born in the country by no means supply the void experienced through the cessation of the African slave trade. THE EDUCATION OF PAUPER CHILDREN. The Poplar Board of Guardians set an example which it would be well for other boards to follow in taking up the important question of the education of the children of those who receive out-door relief. Five hundred and forty of these children are now paid for at a cost of £564 per annum. They do not, however, receive a satisfactory education. It was proposed for the guardians to establish schools of their own with competent masters and official inspection. It ap appears that of 2,465 children at p resen t rec eiving relief in Poplar, 040 attend schools. In the East end, 14,000 children receive relief, and about one third attend schools, at a cost £3,200 per annum. It is impossible to overrate the importance of the edu cation of the children of the poor, and it is satisfac tory to see the question practically mooted in a quarter from which we do not generally expect movements in the direction of reforms. THE HUMBOLDT CENTENARY. The Germans in London have duly celebrated the centenary of Humboldt. Karl Blind delivered a discourse in German on the " Grand Master of Science," giving a sketch of Humboldt's scientific inquiries, of his philosophical views, and also of his political opinions as far as they are known from the posthumous publication of the Varuhagen corre spondence, and from various other sources, as well as from what Humboldt occasionally published him self in the way of gen era l max i ms i n re f erence to State affairs. The o ra ti on was i n t ersperse d with many striking remarks drawn from the writings and sayings of Humboldt. The choral unions then sang Mendelssohn's "Andie Kiintsler," which was followed by the reading of a poem which Rittershans bad sent from Germany. SIR. RODERICK MURCHISON. The Town Council of Inverness have determined to confer the freedom of their burgh on the President of the Royal Geographical Society. Sir Roderick Murchison is a native of the neighbouring town of Dingwall, SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. An extraordinary statement about the Franklin expedlktoior. t nhaT been istaken f transmittedron a s i a Francisco telegraphy paperfromNew and is to the effect that documents have been found near San Buenaventura giving a detailed account of the circumstances under which the Erebus and the Terror were abandoned. T crew, it is stated, wintered at Beachy Island in 1840 and 1847 and Sir John Franklin died on the llth of June, 1847. The papers, it is further said, were evidently thrown overboard about latitude 59 1 1, longitutle 08. This latter statement it fixes doubt on th e w h o l e repor t , f or the spot which fixes as the scene of the recovery of the papers is more thin 100 miles inland from the western shore of Hudson's Bay.
