springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth That are loose, and is gua-

AIIIBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

THE REST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.
NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
relied the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
cumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.

was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of
£208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d.
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 £sl2s. per cent.
The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 is. 9d.,
and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re-
assurances.

The claims on decease of lives assured are 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 officeslast 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.

A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
Ct FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London,
E.C. Established 1848.
The Directors of this Company, in deference to en ob-
jpersons invited to as-
sure, by
Life Assurance is in their
ecti o
thatu nott
the ordinary
re qa n t 1 y
mode urgedof
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 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 pentium paid, beating 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, anti
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 hugest
term provided for is twenty-fiTe years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this chsa 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.
1t is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the
policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon-
ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any kround
Security

may therefore be aptly termed Absolute

Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at
the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1868 :

1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of
which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro-
ducing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,8?3,
being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of
management and all other outgoings were even less
than for many years past.
3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769,
notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by
abatements of premium which did not take effect in
the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on
the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867.
4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It
amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than
£B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four
years of the Society's existence.
5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to
£1,598,916.

The following aro among the distinctive features of the
Society :
CREDIT SI-STEAL-0u any Policy for the w7iolo of
Life, where the ago does nut exceed 60, one-half of the
Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain

ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected,
without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay-
able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death,
whichever event shall first happen.

The home at Great Portland-street is for young fallen
girls from 10 to 16. The committee ate deeply anxious to
open another house for this pitiable class.
The Society admitted to its homes last year 687 young
women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 524 appli-
cants, whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.

appeal to theta not to suffer the Church funds to go to
hospitals and asylums, because those institutions are
" denominational," has been received with sarcastic

derision,

Lord Stanley is the political syhynx of the day. Every-
body is trying to read the riddle of his creed, and cannot
do so. It was noticed that he was absent from the House
during the whole of the debates on the Irish
Church, except for about an hour. That hour was spent
in listening, not to his leader's paradoxes or to Mr.
Hardy's bold defiance, but to Sir Roundell Palmer's
very able and subtle criticisms on the Government mea-
sure. Of course all the world knows that Lord Stanley
does not believe in the Irish Church ; but then he does
not mean to follow his convictions to their logical conclu-
sion, because he means to succeed his father not only
in the earldom, but in the leadership of the Conservative
p arty.
The deficit in the revenue is not quite so great as was
at one time expected. The amount is under two millions,
and there will, therefore, be no need of any rigorous
financial measures. A continuance of the income tax at
6d. will, thanks to the extensive economies effected by the
Government, probably meet the case.
Next week will be the great week for private views of
the various artists' studios before their works are sent to
the Academy. On Monday Mr. and Mrs. Ward shew their
pictures at Kent Villa, Kensington ; on the same and
the following day, Mr. Sydney Hodges shews his at Ber-
ners.street. The latter gentleman has a group in hand
of the Princess Mary of Teck and her children, which will
not, however, be finished in time for this year's exhibition.
He will, I believe, send his full length portrait of
the Archbishop of Canterbury. This is quite the best
work he has yet painted, and represents the Archbishop
standing in front of St. Augustine's Chair in Canterbury
Cathedral, and wearing the robes and black satin train
used at the recent enthronement. Everybody will soon
be talking of Mr. Leighton's diploma picture of
" St. Jerome in the Desert with his Lion." The beast,
though obedient to the Saint, is rough and shaggy as in
the natural state, not of the sleek type which visitors to
the ZoolDgical Gardens know best. Mr. Weigall (who
lately made so distinguished a marriage) is sending to the
Academy an interesting group of the Smith-Barry family.
The private view of the Society of British Artists is on
Monday.

The literary world is shewing signs of fresh life, after a
rather prolonged hybernation. This week Mr. Lecky's
new work appears. The miscellaneous poems of the late
Mr. Keble are out; so are Mr. Reginald Palg,rave's Lec-
tures on the House of Commons, and Sermons by the Rev.
J. Llewellyn Davies, on the Gospel and Modern Life,
with a preface on the theology of the Pall Mall
Gazette, which will have a special interest for Mr.
Davies's own congregation for reasons which I will not
mention here. Among the books promised is a "Handbook
of Contemporary Biography," by Mr. Frederick Martin,
compiler of the " Statesman's Year Book." I trust
the new work will he more accurate than " Men of
the Time." Mr. Ilotten is publishing a subscription
edition of Daniel Defoe's life and uncollected works, com-
prising several hundred important essays, pamphlets,
and other writings now brought to light for the first time
by Mr. William Lee. Mr. Bertrand Payne, who was for
many years "Moxon and C 0.," having retired from the
firm, his successor, young Mr. Moxon, is shewing conside-
rable vigour, and is bringing out, in shilling volumes, the
poems of Thomas Hood. Mr. Charles Reade's new novel,
`• Put Yourself in His Place," is appearing simultaneously
in the Cornhill and in the Galaxy, an American
magazine. Mrs. Stowe's new novel, " Old Town
Folks," will be published in London on May
15. The author of " Doubles and Quits,"
in Blackwood, is Captain Lawrence Lockhart ;
the article in the North British. Review on the
Reorganisation of Germany, is, I believe, by Mr. Grant
Duff ,Under-Secretary of State for India. The extravagantly
eulogistic article on Robert Browning, in the last number
of the Athena:um, is said to be by Mr. Robert Buchanan.
It is not often that one poet praises another thus. In the
next number of Macnzillan, a new story, " A
Brave Lady," will be commenced by the authoress
of " John Halifax." Another fact, partly literary,
partly political, is that in all probability Mr. Reverdy
Johnson will be succeeded (assuming that he is recalled)
by Mr. Motley, the historian. Finally, I may mention
that the purchasers of Lamartine's works, who bought
them some time ago for the benefit of the poet, find them-
selves by the poet's death in possession of a valuable pro-
perty, and that a meeting is to be held in Paris on April
18, to consider what is the best way of dealing with th•
copyright.
In theatrical matters the most noticeable event is the
opening of the Opera on Tuesday. The piece chosen was
" Norma," and Mongini, Tietjens, Sinico, and other great
stars appeared. "Fidelio " will be produced on Saturday.
Paul Bedford, who has retired from the stage,had a benefit
at the Holborn last night, when the " Wandering Thes-
pians" came out. Mr. Robertson's new play is unfavourably
criticised.

g A new company of musicians has been started lately--
"the Gillespie Band, or Inter-University Comic Band."
The band includes Mr. Gillespie, Mr. Gatty, Mr. Clarke,
Mr. Hamilton, and other gentlemen. Their first concert
takes place to-night at the Hanover-square Rooms, and
the proceeds will be devoted to the improvement of the
Cam, so that the Oxonians are generously assisting
their antagonists in the endeavour to beat them at the
University Boat Race.

A new society, called the "Excelsior Public-house
Association," has just been started. Its object is to pro-
mote the establishment of public-houses without intoxicating
drinks. Each club will contain a refreshment-room, a
lecture room, and a room for clubs and classes, available
for public use. Among the promoters are General Sir
George Laurence, Dr. Gladstone (the unsuccessful candi-
date at York), and Mr. Maguire, vicar of Clerkenwell.
One of the finest old mansions in London, Fife House,
has just disappeared. It was situated on the bank of the
Thames at Whitehall, and was remarkable for one cir-
cumstance connected with its history. The late Earl of
Fife—the friend of Sir Walter Scott—being resolved that
even when in London he would always walk on Scottish
soil, sent the gravel and loam for the garden at Fife
House by barges up from Scotland at a cost, it is said,
of nearly 220,000.

Shakspeare is full of anachronisms of literature
and art. In the Comedy of Errors he alludes to ducats,
marks, and guilders, and also to the striking of a clock
in the ancient city of Ephesus. In King John and
Macbeth he speaks of cannon. He makes Cori°leans
a cotemporary with Alexander the Great, Cato, and
Galen, all of whom lived centuries afterwards. Cassius,
in Julius Coasar, also speaks of a clock striking the
hours. Beaumont and Fletcher make a man dis-
charge a pistol, who must have lived long before
the Christian era. The painters do not behave. much_

SCIENCE AND ART.—A striking instance of the immense
value a small piece of steel may acquire by the great power of
skilled mechanical labour is the balance-spring of a watch. From
its extreme fineness and delicacy 4,000 weigh not more than ono
ounce, and exceed in value .tl,OOO. A most interesting little
work,
describing, the rise and progress of watchmakin , has
been published by J. W. Benson, 25, Old Bond-street, and the
City Steam Factory, 5S and GO, Ludgate-hill. The book, which
is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various
kinis of watches and clocks, with their prices Mr.Bonson (who
holds the appointment to the Prince of Wales) has also published
a pamphlet on Artistic Gold Jewellery, illustrated with the most
beautiful designs of Bracelets, Brooches, Earrings, Lockets, &c.,
&c., suitable fur Wedding, Birthday, and other presents. These
pamphlets are scut post free for two stamps each, and they can-
not be too stt °ugly recommended to those contemplating a pur-
chase, especially to residents in the country or abroad, who aro
thus enabled to select any article they may require and have it

" That this meeting, believing it to be of the utmost
importance to the Company's existing undertakings that
early steps should be taken to unite the several sections
of railway in the Company's hands in one continuous line,
are of opinion that, as soon as the Amalgamation bill now
before Parliament shall have become law, the directors
should take the earliest opportunity of convening a meet-
ing of the proprietors for the purpose of considering the
propriety of exercising the powers to be conferred by the
bill, with the view of placing the Company in the best posi-
tion for obtaining an early concession for the line between
Kotree and Mooltan."

A BRIDGED STATEMENT.
ADVANTAGES OF THE DEBENTURES.

Mortgage. taken in the joint names of Trustees on behalf of the
Debenture-holders.
Each 14 Debenture:
Will be secured upon Freehold Land, by mortgage or hypothe-
cation.

Will be redeemable at £l2 per bond (thus giving a bonus of
20 per cent.), by annual drawings, after the third year.
Will have coupons for interest, payable half-yearly, at the rate
of 7 per cent. per annum attached, and—
Will be accompanied by a warrant certificate, entitling the
holder (in addition to the above bonus) to a distributive share in
half of the surplus profit arising from the ultimate realisation of
the entire property comprised in the mortgage.
Applications for fully paid-up Debentures will be entitled to
priority of allotment.
If no allotment be made the whole of the deposit will be re-
turned without deduction. If the whole amount applied for be
not allotted the excess of deposit will be applied to the future
payments due upon such number as may be allotted, bnt interest
at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum will be allowed and paid as
above thereon.

An opinion of the soundness of this security, and of the value
of the distributive share of surplus profit offered to the Deben-
ture-holders, may be formed from reports annexed to the printed
particulars, and the consideration that Trouville is one of the
choicest marine resorts in France, where the noblesse spend their
summer. It lies on the coast of Normandy, opposite to Havre,
directly south of the Isle of Wight, and possesses one of the
largest and most comfortable hotels in France, public rooms,
gardens, walks, slopes green to the water's edge, and sands
superior to those of Scarborough or Ramsgate.
From London Trouville may be reached via Dover and Calais,
For lkestone and Boulogne, or via i onthampton and Havre.
From Paris it is only five hours and a half distant by railway.

veyors may be obtained at the Offices, or will be forwarded by
