A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
E 1 FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London,
E.U. 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 Lifo Assurance is in their
oofPitnhieoncudefective ocro
nudnict
ieorit,as! n
1,1
abyye rree as
os ol
vneodf
tot h
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 bacoma forfeited. To this
class of the public the system now introduced will espe-
-6'04 commend itself, being entirely free from all condi-
tions of forfeiture on account of non-ptivinet,t of premium,
or from any other cause whatever; while at tho 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, I, al ing the same propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre-
miums actually pail 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pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on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 assure t will thus always have the option of retain-
ing.either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease,
or, an 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 enuring 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
Yifing foreign residence, or other usual
freedom from restrictions of all kinds
leoimnidtaittiioonnss. as
Btoyvtoh
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 li-ngest
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 tables being unforfeitable 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

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 £10,667 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883,
being tho 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
£1,598,906.

The following are among the distinctive features of the

Society :
CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the wliole of
Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the
Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain
on credit.

ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected,
without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay-
able on the attainment of a specified ago, or at death,
whichever event shall first happen.
INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned
to the increased risk.
PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid
thirty days after proof of death.

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 £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 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
Tear 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 51
per cent. on the total income.

POASIGN NOTES,
TNII urtranftw cawsPntiel TN MIT:

. Some very definite details of the Milan plot are supplied
by the Pungolo. It appears that some person—who is
unknown, and probably desires to remain so—supplied the
first intelligence to a general of division, who of course
communicated with the prefecture. The authorities at
once commenced investigations. But one of the Repub.
lican leaders, a man who called himself Ghisalberti, and
who had once been a major of the Venice National.
Guard, made off. It is not 'known how he received-
intelligence that the plot was discovered. He left behind
him, however, thirty-four bombs, a quantity of pawder,
a plan of the residences of the civil and military officers,
a strategic scheme for the assault of several important
buildings, and a key to the jargon of the conspirators.
Amongst his papers were a few lines without address,
recommending one Bettin as a safe person to deal with.
Mazzini had given this man instructions, which were to
be communicated to the Milan leaders. A list, bearing
the names and addresses of a number of officers, had been
drawn up by a uon commissioned officer, who has been
arrested. Fifteen persons altozTether are in custody. In
Parrs this conspiracy is regarded as a very serious affair.
Certainly the details reveal a deep and elaborately orga•
nised plan. But the 200 men of poniards are somewhat
mythical ; and even the letter from Mazzini is not suffi•
dent, says the Temps correspondent, to thoroughly impli•
date him.
