LBSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
• FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London,
E.U. Established 1848. _ .

Y._
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 Un ch ellen geable.
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 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 Fame
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 pmpor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre-
miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to bo pail
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pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on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-
ng 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 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 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-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
Ire 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 ot new
business of anv office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL

This Hospital, founded in 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 far support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 8,000 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.
Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abohurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co. ; Drummond and 0o.; Glyn and Co.;
Harries and Co. ; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and

the Hospital from 10 till b.

A large steamer is now plying regularly between
New York and tho Bermuda Islands, bearing to the former
place the earliest onions and potatoes, and thousands of
bunches of the finest bananas, and carrying back such
merchandise as is needed at the islands.

THE CANADIAN PRESS ONAMERICAN ENTERPRISE.
—While we, says the Montreal Pays, are disputing, the
Americans are marching in advance ; we speak ; they act.
The talking belongs to us ; the execution to them. While
the future Governor of the North-West has scarcely
finished a tour over the nearest limits of his domain ; while
the character, the length, and selection of a route in that
territory is discussed in the press and the Ministry, the
United States are already at work, and are now finishing
the first section of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The.
Toronto Leader says on the subject :—The Americans thus
monopolize the North-West, and secure its commerce by
constructing a railroad while we make a carriage-road,
which, when finished, if ever it will be, will be as useful
as if it were down 40 feet in the middle of Lake Superior.
