Coutrib%tions aro received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown. Hansom and Co., Abcburch-lane ; also by Messrs. Coutts and rummond and Co. ; G l y n and Co. ; Horrit s Co.';; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, an,? Co: ; and Co.; Barclay an d Co.; Williams, Deacon, and Cu.; Nisbet and oo.,:Berners-streot ; and at the Hospital from 10 till 5. 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 bard pressed, he is more likely, it is thought, to yield to the Republicans, who threaten his dynasty, than to the CatholicS, whom, he 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 eamorous 'creditors than Jules Favre and Garnier-Pagls. 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 allover Italy, and especially at Parm a , w h ere th e 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 place 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 Reina among others. Catalonia has offered a sword to the Carlist General Wistany, and the 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'a shop, it was recol lected that a large barrel of powderhad 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 bad 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 ono. The inde fatigable rector, Dr. Grant, will, it is expected, be seconded in his efforts to improve and extend its organisation. The Marquis of Bute has, it is said, made a handsome donation to St. Andrea, which is now the most perfect collegiate building in Romo. 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 Beichsratli. 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. Net even the increased subsidy just granted by the Ottawa Parliament, though Nova Scotia Lad previously joined the confedera tion on favourable terms, not even the fine example of "flexibility "—to put it mildly—set by Mr:El owe, the former leader of the Repeal party, can bring the discontented round. The recent di v isions 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 Powerful 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 Repealer& 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 bur densome, the latter would be infinitely more so. If the Nova Scotians think they are now chastised with whips, they cau clearly gain nothing by suffering the infliction of scorpions.

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 ptior 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 tlaeotablishment of a Fire Company, to work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much to the advantage and profit of botti 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.

MOSE I.Y, the Dentist by special appoint ment, 312, REGENT -STREET, exactly opposite the Royal Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected system of pitiless dentistry, originated and invented by Mr. R. L../tiosely, is r comtnentred by the Hospitals and adopted by the profession as one of the greatest improve ments of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration of the natural functions, can solely be obtained in such perfected success (the result of forty years' practical ex perience) at his only residence, 312, Regent-street.. The superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity from pin, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren dered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected.

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 Unchallongeable. 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 Fame time it absolutely guarantees at decoase, when even a de fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in respect of every premium paid, bearing the same pmpor 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 alvantage, 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 thiS 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 oljections 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, 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 tablre Whig unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any 1.-round 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.

STEELE, Secretary. THE BOSTON MUSICAL FESTIVAL. It is to be hoped 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 baud 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 MAC3fAIION. The mail from Brazil brings news that an English officer bas visited the encampment of Lopez, and has brought back despatches from General MacMahon. This officer, 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 Imparcial, 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 Patrie 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 he was charged with the work of cementing a half-formed alliance between France, Austria, and Italy. This coalition, the Patrie 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 Patrie founded upon it tumbles to pieces. THE HIGGS FAMILY IN HUNGARY. Swindling by cashiers and clerks has been carried to a high point of perfection at Tokai, in Hungary. Several merchants' clerks 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 are now being made in all directions. LOSS OF THE ABBATUCCI. The terrible collision in the Mediterra,nean b,,tween the steamer Abbatucci and a Norwegian brig, by which the former vessel was lost with man} lives, is to be mado, 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. I)I7I.IvILLE an Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world.
