A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
". FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
.CIIALLENGEATILM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London,
E.C. Established 1848.
The Directors of this Company, in deference to en 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 Unforfcitable, 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 pa anent of 57,-;,- o-
minms. the Assurance will b,,eom, ferfeitod. 'l'., this
c'ass of the publie the system now into,dured will espe-
cialls commend itself, being entirely free from 211 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, b= wring the same propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre-
minms actually paid may bear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to bo 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pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on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, 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, 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
coforeign residence, or other usual
freedomlim from restrictions of all kinds
thred to will.be entirely removed,
enidtaitt
objectionsiioonnss .as
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 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•

business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL

Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at
the ARrual 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-

clueing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883,
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 Bouus 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 wl.olo 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 age, or at death,
whichever event shall first happen.
INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned
to the increased risk.
PItOMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid
thirty days after proof of death.

of any of the Society's Agents, or of

HENRY ROSE,

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. Gd.
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 offices last absorbed
by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5}
per cent, on the total income.

FORVON NOTES,

Trs BEPI7DISAN CCUSPIRLOT IN rrAtt

Some very definite details of the Milan plot areetiprlied
by the Pungo7o. It appears the:, 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 °lee 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 p3wder,
a plan of the residences of the civil and military officers,
a strat?gie scheme for the assault of several important
buildings, and a key to the jargon of the conspirators.
Atnongst his papers were a few lines without address,
recommending one Dettin 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 non-commissioned officer, who has been
arrested. Fifteen persons altogether are in custody. In
Paris 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 milli-
eient, says the Temps correspondent, to thoroughly imi>lie
sate him.
