RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER.
This company's bill came before a committee of
the House of Lords yesterday. The committee con-
sisted of Lord Lifford, chairman ; the Earl of
Shrewsbury, and Lords Bolton, Dunsany, and
Scarsdale. Mr. Venables, Q.C., and Mr. Round
appeared in support of the bill. Mr. Merewether,
Q.C., Mr. Hope Scott, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Sargoodt
Mr. Herbert Saunders, Mr. Fitzjames Stephens,
Mr. Littler, Mr. Bridge, Mr. Boult, Mr. Hem-
ming, Mr. Ferrers, Mr. Everitt, and Mr. Gadsden
appeared in support of petitions against the Bill.
Mr. Hope Scott, Mr. Denison, Mr. Rodwell, Mr.
Fry, and Mr. Littler also appeared to watch the
bill on behalt of various petitioners who had opposed
the bill in the House of Commons, but who are
satisfied with it it its present state, and desirous
that it may be passed without alteration.

Mr. VENABLES, Q.C., opened the case for
the promoters, and said that the bill might be
described, in the language of Lord Justice Gifford,
as intended to cut a knot which it was impossible
to untie. It was the main object of the
bill to
remove from the Court of Chancery the liti-
gation which had been so long iu progress, and to
refer the various points at issue to the MarqUis of
Salisbury and Lord Cairno as arbitrators, conferring
upon them ample and unusual powers, inasmuch as
it was proposed that the arbitrator should determine
what was fit, just, and expedient for the interests of
of all parties, irrespective of what might be legal.
The arbitrators would be able to sit daily, and would
have no other ju iicial business before them to create
delay, and if they were appointed as proposed, they
could effect what could not be done by the Court of
Chancery. The learned counsel narrated the course
of litigation and legislation on the affairs of the
company during the years 1866, 1867, and 1868,
and urged that the Board of Directors were the
only parties who had power to represent the com-
pany in promoting the bill. The great question of
priority with reference to the different classes of
claims upon the company had already been before
the Court of Chancery, and the arbitrators would
avail themselves of the proceedings of that Court
without golf% over the same ground again. Mr•
Venables proceeded so state that out of i 16,000,000
of shares and debenture capital, only £33,000
worth of share capital and £55,000 worth of de-
benture capital were represented by the petitioners
against the bill. The directors had the support of
one half of the debenture capital, and the petitions
against the bill were very few. After going minutely
through the clauses of the bill and explaining thein
to the committee, Mr. Venables stated the purport
of the several petitions, which were 15 in number'
Among the petitioners were the Sevenoaks, Maid-
stone, and Tunbridge Railway ; Lord Sondes, Lord
Harris, and others, formerly directors of the com-
pany ; the Credit Fonder ; the Liverpool, London,
and Globe Assurance Company ; Mr. Harrison,
claiming to represent the Metropolitan Extension
shareholders; Mr. Hartridge and another, claiming
to represent the shareholders in the general unier-
taking ; Mr. Gardiner and others, trustees of the
rolling stock ; Messrs. Lucas, the contractors, So'
The petitions of Mr. Hartridge and Mr. Gar-
diner alone opposed the preamble. The other
petitions applied for clauses to protect par-
ticular interests, while the Western Extension
shareholders, certain mortgagees, the Kent Cot
Railway Company, the General Credit Coal'
pony, and the Imperial Mercantile Credit Com-
pany petitioned that the bill might be passed with-
out alteration. The learned counsel said he hoped
to satisfy their lordships that it would be to the
interest of all parties to adopt the bill in order to
cut the knot and terminate litigation.
' Mr. Hodgkinson, the chairman of the company'
was then examined generally, by Mr. Venables, on
the history and position of the company, and cross-
examined by Mr. Bridge, Mr. Littler, and Mr.
Sergeant Sargood, on behalf of several petitioners.
The committee then adjourned till this day.

in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. it is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

A BSOLLTTE SECURITY POLICIES, UNT-
- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLE. issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, 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 tbe 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, 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 oven 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 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 OSSllTanc.es.
Creditors ase,uring 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 rest rictions 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 1-ngest
term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus. hankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this el as as security,
may always know the utmost. amount they may be called
upon to advance so as to nriii.tain the full benefit of the
AssuraLzes—a m3l for of great importance where policies
