A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UN CONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.O. Established 1848. The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob jection not unfiequently 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 came 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 ties 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 Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on the discontinuance of the assurance.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 annnng the lives of debtors will appreciate this feature as ono 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 lisued 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 elms 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 pol icies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also be unchallongeable on any ground whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute Security Policies. The PRUDENTJAL 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. On Tuesday the ceremony of consecrating three hishora, all of them for the colonies and dependencies of the British crown, took place in Westminster Abbey. The Archbishop of Canterbury, who was the officiating pre late, was received in the Jerusalem Chamber at a quarter before ten by the Dean and 'Canons, and a procession was then formed to the choir. The bishops elect—Dr. Cowie, Bishop of Auckland; Mr. S. E. Marsden, Bishop of Bathurst (New South Wales) ; and Mr. W. Chambers, Bishop of Labuan, took their places outside the altar rails, and the voluntary was played. The Archbishop of Canterbury commenced the communion service (morning prayer having been said at a quarter to eight), and the sermon was preached by Dr. Selwyn, Bishop of Lichfield. After the sermon and the first part of the consecration service, the anthem, "How lovely are the messengers" (Mendelssohn) was sung, and the new bishops were presented to the Archbishop. Then the anthem, "Awake, awake, put on thy strength, 0 Zion" (Wise) was sung, and the three bishops designate were admitted to the episcopal order. The " Veni Creator" (Attwood) was then sung, and the Holy Communion was administered. THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. 4.. The Duke of RUTLAND Las given notice that ne will propose to leave out. Clause 2, which declares that the union of the Churches of England and Ireland shall be dissolved. The Earl of BANDON has also a notice on the amend ment paper to the same effect. Besides this, he will endeavour to postpone the disestablishment of the Irish Church until the Ist of January, 1872. Earl STANROPE.—In Clause 27, to propose that on ap plication being made by any congregation of the Esta blished, the Presbyterian, or Boman Catholic Churches, the commissioners shall be empowered to provide, if they think fit, a suitable residence for the minister of any such congregation, and to purchase glebe land not exceeding 15 acres for the same. He will also propose a clause pro viding for compensation to the Observatory of Armagh, in consequence of the rectorial tithes of the parish of Carling- ford ceasing to be renewable. Viscount LEINSTER will propose that in case of the retirement or the removal from office of the present dresi dent or vice-president, or any of the existing masters or professors of Maynooth College, he shall be entitled to receive from the trustees an annual sum equal to two thirds of his salary at the time of his retirement or removal. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER and BRISTOL.—At the end of Clause 2 (the disestablishment clause) he will move to add that neither the dissolution of the Union nor anything con tained in the Act shall be construed to prevent anyone now ordained or hereafter to be ordained from officiating or holding preferment in any diocese in England and Wales, if he shall have obtained the consent, in writing, of the bishop of the diocese and of the archbishop of the pro- vince. Lord SOMERHILL (Marquis of Clanricarde) will propose that in any instance in which there is not at present A houses of residence or glebe lands to the extent provided by the Act, it shall be lawful for the commissioners to pro vide such glebes. He will also propose that it shall be lawful for the commissioners to provide glebe lauds for the lloman Catholics and Presbyterians. To Clause 68, which deals with the surplus, he will move to leave out the principal portion of the clause, and to substitute words to the following effect :—After the commissioners hare ascertained the net surplus, they shall report to both Houses of Parliament, and until such report shall have been made, the determination of the mode and - purposes to which the surplus shall be applied or distributed shall be postponed. Lord S A LTERSFO nn (Earl of Courtcun).—To omit from the title the words "and in respect of the Royal College of Maynooth." He will also endeavour to leave out Clauses 39, 40, 41, and 42, which contain the terms of compensation to the Maynooth College. Lord O'NEILL—To extend the time given for applying for private endowments from six months to two years, The intelligence comes from lowa that Mrs. Bloomer has abandoned her principles by again donninv petticoats. There is no foundation, says the Dar, for the statement that Mr. M. W. Ridley, M.P., is about to be mar tied to Miss hardy. DEEP SEA AND COAST FISHERIES.—The Com missioners for the Deep Sea and Coast Fisheries of Ire land have published their report, in which they believe that, considering all the facts, the general conditions and results of the fisheries during the past year will be deemed satisfactory. What is required to give a new stimulus is the providing means for immediately communicating to fish factors when good takes have been secured, and of rapidly trausmitting the produce to good markets. Elec tric telegraphs would, in their opinion, supply the former, and cheap tramways the latter, want. A kw days since we announced the sudden disap pearance of the cashier of a Etna of high standing in Liverpool. The amount of the deficiency was then stated to be about £3,000; Lut from what has since transpired it appears that in addition to tlis misappropriation of his enip!oycr's money, there aro several very heavy trades men's bills left unpaid—jewellers, tailors, hosiers, boot makers, wine merchants, &c. He has left no fewer than three wives and three fathers-in-law behind him ; and if rumour is correct he is accompanied in his flight bya buxom widow, of atout 30 years of age. Lastly this runaway cashier, whilst occupying a respectable position in society was holding a ticket of leave. Some interesting law cases were decided at West miceter on Monday. In the Court of Common Pleas a special jury had before them an action by one Watson, a railway contractor, against the Mid-Wales Railway Company. It was brought to recover £20,000, on bonds bearing the seal of the company. The secretary of the company, however, declared that the bonds were sealed by one director, without the authority of the board of directors. It appearing, however, that the directors had adopted the action of their single member, and a verdict for the plaintiff was returned for tho amount claimed, subject to the opinion of the full court.—la another railway case before the Court of Queen's Bench a lady teacher of dancing and calisthenics received £1,500 damages on account of an accident at the Spalding Station of the Great Eastern Railway. There was a hole in the carpet of the waiting room, and she, catching her foot in it, fell down and injured her spine. SMITHFIELD MAILTYRS' MEMORIAL CHURCH.— On Tuesday afternoon the Earl of Shaftesbury laid the foundation-stone of a church for the new district of St. Peter, in St. John-street-road, Clerkenwell. The building will be dedicated to the memory of the Smithfield martyrs. It was explained by his lordship and the clergy who addressed those present that it had been abundantly proved there was great need for a church on this spot, and the occasion was taken of one being erected to do honour to the pious men who were content to lay down their lives for their faith. Captain M'Gregor stated that within the last few days he had been one to sign a contract for the erection of a tablet in Smithfield, near the spot where the Protestant martyrs suffered death. He hoped that in a short time it would be placed there. It was to be prayed that, as that would shew the ground where they died, this church would shew the doctrines fur which they cheerfully yielded up their lives. The Rev. B. Oswald Sharp, who has been very instrumental in founding the mission, will be the minister of the church. The subscriptions received so far will not be nearly suffi• cient t 3 defray the cost. BRIDGING THE SOLWAY.—The Solway Junction Railway, which constitutes a new link of railway commu nication between England and Scotland, and comprises amongst its engineering works the remarkable under taking of a viaduct across the Solway Frith, is now completed, and only awaits the Government inspection and certificate before being opened for traffic. In March 18G5 the first sod of the new railway was cut by the late Mr. Ewart, M.P. for the Dumfries burghs. The great object which the promoters had in view was to provide better through communication between England and Scotland for the accommodation of the ironmasters. The Scotch ironmasters require to have imported into the district the richer ores of West Cumber land, and about 200,000 tons are annually transmitted either by sea or by a circuitous route through Carlisle. The new railway is 21 miles in length. It commences at a junction with the Caledonian Railway at Kirtle• bridge, about 17 miles north of Carlisle, and thence • passing the town of Annan , it reaches the shore of the Solway Frith at Seefield, a distance of about a mire and a half from Annan, and G 1 miles from Kirtle-bridge. Then commences the great engineering work of crossing the Frith. The width of the Solway in that part is about a mile and a half. About a third of that distance is crossed by a sea embankment, leaving 1,950 yards to be crossed by a viaduct. The bridge is built of cast and wrought iron. Hollow iron piles, about 20 feet in length and 12 inches in diameter, the thickness of the metals being seven-eighths of an inch, have been driven into the bed of the sea to a depth of 17 or 18 feet, and upon these other iron pillars have been erected, making a series of piers about 30 feet apart from each other, this distance being spanned by cast-iron girders. At the southern end of the viaduct the line crosses over ]lowness Moss, and this work has proved much more difficult than the spanning of the Solway Frith. The Moss is about a mile and three quarters broad. Great drains had to be dug, about thirty feet deep, and when, in consequence of the process, the surface of the Moss had sunk some five or six feet, faggots were laid down, on which long sleepers, eighteen feet in length, were placed, and gradually the work was accomplizhed,after 00,000 bundles of fazzots had been used.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d. and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured aro 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 the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two oificeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5i per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : - -- DR. LIABILITIES.
