BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
La- 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 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 a; 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-
clans 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 premium paid. bearing the same propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pm-
tniums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to be paid.
Besides this important advantage, every policy will ox
pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on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
sot 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 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 unforfaitablo 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 £215,000 a year. Its position is un-
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new
business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL
AGENTS WANTED.

that of the young Preten.ler. This Moreno, an
Italian of Roman birth, introduces hiMself as hav-
ing served on the Nana's staff at Cawnpore and
Delhi, which is tantamount to saying that he had not
seen a shot fired except in butchering an unarmed
man. The Nana never was at Delhi daring the
mutiny, and as this Moreno talks of the fugi-
tives travelling north-west after the fall of the Im-
perial City, it lea& us to the belief that Frank
Leslie has been deceived by an impudent impostor.
The Nana remained in his lair till smoked out by the
operations of Havelock and the other advancing
Generals, when he took refuge in Bareilly with
Khan Bahadur Khan, with whom he fied, precipi-
tately, on the approach of Lord Clyde and Sir
John Jones. We would like to know who
this Moreno is who boasts in the columns of
a widely circulated American newspaper of his
connection with one of the foulest and most
cowardly crimes of this or any other age. As this is
the second time he has been introduced to the public
through the same medium, and as the Nana is made

to assume the appearance of a hero leading a revolt,
we may say, that the latter is only remarkable in
India for cowardice and cruelty, and for want of
capacity to understand the nature of his own pro-
ceedings. lle did nothing to forward the interests
of the mutineers but murder the garrison of
Cawnpore, after its capitulation, in breach of a
solemn promise, and by that act forced the garrison
of Lucknow to the extremity of dying, sword in
hand, rather than surrender ; a resolution which,
acted out, probably saved India. Had Gen. Wheeler's
command, with the women and children, been
permitted in the terms of the surrender to proceed
down the Ganges to Calcutta, the garrison of Luck-
now, finding itself in a desperate extremity, might
also have capitulated, when even a few of the
Sepoy regiments thus relieved from that difficult
siege, would have been sufficient to overwhelm the
British army in ifs desperate attack on Delhi.
The first step backwards would have been the sig-
nal for a general rise, and the British Dominions,
which it had taken a century to establish, would in
a few weeks have been limited to the three Presi-
sidency towns. Never did a man perpetrate so
atrocious a crime, and at the same time so fatal a
blunder as the Nana at Cawnpore, and never was
there fought so momentous a struggle which
brought to the surface on the side of the revolu-
tions less capacity of any kind ; courage, patriotism,
self-sacrifice, or nobility of any sort. If Mr.
Moreno likes to be associated with the Nana and
Cawnpore, so let it be, but at the same time let
people understand what that asssociation means.
