The Amtrinn delegation of the Zeichsrath is the cg:lp . parliament sitting just now, and it Las been occupied by :s discussion of some importance on the War Budget. The majority of the committee proposed to make reductions mounting to five millions of florins ; the minority de manded others which would amount to about seven and a- I tilf millions. The latter declared that the monarchy was threatened with ruin by the permanent deficit, and that, however indispensable the army might be, it was necessary to consider whether the country had the means cf paying for it. The Chamber, however, proved to be more favourable to the Ministerial propositions than the committee, and rejected the greater part of the pro posed reductions. General Kuhn, the Minister of War, told Baron Beust that if the proposals of the com mittee were adopted, he must abandon the task of reorganising the army, and must resign his office. Baron Beust himself spoke strongly against the reductions, declaring that, though he would not withdraw his assertion that the peace of the Empire was not endangered, the best guarantee for its preservation was to main. tain the defences of the country. According to the statement of General Kuhn the Austrian Government can at once bring into the field 600,000 men, well equipped. Next year the War Minister hopes to have 800,000. The number of effective soldiers is as small, and the list of officers as economically organised, as possible ; but, General Kuhn was much averse to Austria's setting the example of reducing her forces, and the Reichsrath in fluenced, it is thought, by the attitude of Prussia, voted the War Budget as proposed by the Government.

ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London, E.C. 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 Unchallengeable. For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or decline to assure on the ground that, i n; no 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 cape 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 ptomium 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 he paid. Besides this important advantage, every pol'ey 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-fire years, and the shortest five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi tors, and others holding policies of this ells,: as security, may always know the utmost amount they may be called upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the Assurauces—a matter of great importance whore policies are held as collateral security. It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the rolicies under those tables being unforfeitable and uncon ditional, they will also bo unchalleogeable 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 businees of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL AGENTS WANTED. HENRY HARBEN, Secretary. A.D. 1720.

Vice-Patron— His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, K.G. President—His Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, K.G. This Hospital, founded iu the year 1828, the first to establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is wholly dependent ':er support on voluntary contributions and legacies. It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in addition to this, the average number of attendance of the destii.uto sick has for a considerable period averaged be tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly. The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of containing several hundred more beds had the Committee the requisite funds to maintain them. Contrib , Aions are received by their bankers, Messrs. Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.

SPAIN. Accounts from Madrid state that the Government have discovered new► Cellist conspiracies, and that several . arrests have been made. The minister, Senor Zorilla, is following up his attack on the clergy, and has desired the bishops to inform him of the names of the priests who have left their residences. Fifty persons have been arrested at Burgos, among whom were several canons of the cathedral. The Governor of Siquenza sent some prisoners to Madrid, and they were taken on foot to their destination. The crowd followed them and threw stones at them. Great efforts have been infide -1 on the part of the authorities to prevent the manifesta tion which was intended against the clergy. It was feared that things might go too far, and turn to the advan tage of the Carlists. The summary executions that have taken place by order of the military authorities have , caused great indignation in many quarters. General . Prim has received a communication from Palo, who com mands the Carlists in La Mancha, to the effect that he will shoot his prisoners when the next execution of Carlists shall take place. In con sequence of this threat the priest Ducnas, who was sentenced to death at Toledo, has been reprieved. The Imparcial, of Madrid, has announced the defeat of a Carlist band in Valencia, and it is said to have been the `most numerons gathering as yet discovered. It consisted of five hundred men and fifty horses, and it was well organised. TILE CONSCRIPTION AT FRANKFORT. Since the incorporation of Frank-fort with the kingdom of Prussia, the rich inhabitants of the town have had their children naturalised in Switzerland in order to avoid the risk of their entering the military service. Many cantons of that country are willing to accord the right on the payment of a heavy cum of money. In order to put a stop to this practice, the Prussian Government have decreed that those persons who have evaded their military obli gations by adopting this course shall henceforth be emu pelled to reside in the country of which they have become citizens. The question has created great excite- ment in Frankfort. CENTRAL AMERICA. The programme of the I'o 21 it 7? ciamento which OCCA• sioned the overthrow of President Guzman, of the Republic of Nicaragua, is said to I,e very liberal. Three points are likely to interest foreigners. These aro the proclamation of joint responsibility with the Americans for the maintenance - of Republican liberty ; the desire expressed for the pacific establishment of the union of Central America; and the concession to emigrants of civil rights and the power of acquiring political rights. General Jerez, the head- of the victorious party, has made the licentiate Francisco Bala provisi,mal president in his place, and has reserved for himself only the command of the army. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE TUESDAY. Yesterday the Committee of the Senate held an extraor dinary sitting, at which all the Ministers were present. M. Rouher gave a succinct o,s/inze of the work already done, and invited the Ministers to give their opinion on the proposed amendments. M. .Magne was Vie first to speak, and declared the principle of Ministerial respon sibility to be the strongest guarantee of the autonomy of the Chambers. An animated discussion took place o.). the 2nd Article, which refers to this same respon sibility. The committee hold that the terms of the article aro vague, and they wish to define clearly the limits of the Ministerial responsibility and that of the Chief of the State. M. de Maupas, who was one of the principal speakers, declared that by avoiding all equivo cation the Government and the Committee would give reality to the liberal reforms, and would remove occa sions of conflict. M. de Maupas urged that the Senate should associate its initiative with that of the sovereign in introducing these improvements into the Senatus- Consultum. The Marquis of Chasseloup•Laubat held that no changes were admissible in the form of the Senatus-Consultum ; it could only be extended or' restricted, and neither process was, he thought, desirable. Further discussion took place, in which the Minister of. the Interior and MM. Greasier and Bourbeau joined, but no definite conclusion was arrived at. The Ministers asked for three days to consider the question, which will, it is said, form the subject of deliberii, tion at the Cabinet Council to-morrow. No doubt the Emperor's opinion will also be taken in the in terval. On Thursday Ministers will communicate to the committee their decision on the famous article, and will resume the discussion on the other amendments. The debate, of which I have given you a hasty outline, was the topic of conversation in all the political circles last night. Very general complaints are made, as I have previously mentioned, of the slow and dilatory pr:,7reg: of the Committee, and. of course suggestions arc not wanting as to the origin of these delays. The Constitutionncl of this morning declares that these charges are very Unjust. It admits that it is very desirable the Committee should move a little faster, since its hesitations deprive the reforms of the spontaneous character which the Imperial Message gave them. The Constitutionne/, however, finds some consolation in the reflection that the work of the Senate may be very brief, since the Committee and the Government will hare come to a clear under standing. Nothing new about the Emperor's health. It is now believed that he will not go to ,Chalons until the closing of the camp in September. The funeral of Marshal Niel has been conducted on a scale of great magnificence. The ceremony was performed at the chapel of the Hotel des Invalides. During the whole of Monday, the remains of the illustrious Marshal were visited at the hotel of the War Minister, in the Rue St. Dominique. The body was embalmed, and dressed in his uniform of Marshal of France. This morning, at eleven o'clock, the troops assembled in the streets sur rounding the office of the War Minister. At twelve o'clock the deputations of the chief officers of state came to the hotel, and shortly after the cortege started for the chapel. The various decorations which the deceased had worn were placed on a cushion of black velvet, and taken in front of the procession. The car in which the body was placed was drawn by six horses, and followed by fifteen mourning coaches. All the army of Paris was represented by divisions drawn up on the esplanade of the Invalides. The corners of the pall were held by M. Rouher, M. Schneider, the Admiral Itigault de Genouilly, and Marshal Vaillant. A battery from Vincennes was placed on the banks of the Seine to tire military salutes at different times during the ceremony. The interior of the church was hung with black, bordered with white, and decorated with military trophies. The Archbishop of Paris, assisted by several other dignitaries, performed the service. All the Ministers were p a n n d a t e h e sad E m Emperor occasion. the wast Empressiie wish were represented on • the Emperor that the remains of the Marshal k Sul I be interred at the Tuileries, but, in accordance with b s own desire, they yore taken to Muret. The troops ), filch read assembled at the ceremony passed in defile b )re the car which contained the coffin, carrying their arms under the left arm, in sign of mourning. It i 4 W of note that Marshal Niel died on the tenth anni ers cry of the day when lie entered Paris at the head of the army which he had led to victory in Italy. i;OURSE OF EXCHANGE.
