Unfortunately, no form of accounts was irsisted on which would show in a clear and authentic form not only the receipts and expenditure, but siso the sasete and liabilities; but, at any rate, so far as it went, the Act promised to be valuable. Nevertheless, whether in consequence of that happy facility for drawing lenperfect Acts which is so largely patronised by the Legislature, or from the neglect of thou whom duty it is to sae that such laws do not remain a dead letter, we cannot tell; but several Insurance Comps nits have either vet the Act at defiance by rendering no accounts, or have furnished imperfect accounts or statements in such a form es to be utterly unintelligible. In a valuable little abstract of these registered seeming, by Mr. CILRISTII, of the Scottish Equitable, a list is given of no less than 60 Issuance Companies who have rendered no accounts. Some of theta workers in the dark have already found their way to the Master's office, and it is fair to presume that of the remainder the majority are either tnivelliug the same road or that their doings will not bear the light of day. The table of premium receipts and expenditure at the end of Mr. CHRISTIE'S pamphlet is worth the careful sonsideraties of in surers; and although the work omits, from various causes, many of the accounts, the results shown by those which are inserted are so remarkable that we shall CO doubt receive the thanks of all 'let/rested in Lire Assurance by giving them the moat extended publicity. It will be convenient to divide the oompanies whose accounts are given in Mr. Cunienz's publication, into two categories ; those whose accounts commence between 1846 sod 1860, and those which begin after 1860. Such of them belooging to the former of the two classes as ore still in existence, may be supposed to have got over the unusual expenditure incideatal to their foundation. The first category, then, coasists of 23 companies, who bus received from the date first mentioned in their accounts 1,348,7391. in prosaism; and have paid 63S 9681. for expenses of managemard, end 341,3184 for life loses; leaving a balance of 368,4631. out of the 1,348,7391. received.

FRANCE. PARIS, WIDNIBIDAY Svurroco. There are some curious rumours in vogue about No vae:, who is still at Paris, and, as it appears. rather in a disagreeable position. His Madrid friends have written to ask him to return to them immediately, expecting as they do at any moment the fell of O'Donnell, and feeling apprehensive that, if Nar vaez should not be there to take advantage of it, some other person may obtain the Presidency of the Council, which the friends of Nar. vacs • ould keep for him. But, unfortunately, Nar ve:z cannot go yet, for Serrano, who is to bring the passports anthorisiog him to return to Spain, has not yet arrived at Paris. In the meantime, Nunez is not very well treated by the Madrid prose. Haown journal, El Leon Espanol, asserted the other day that he had never enriched himself while he was in the Queen's I lservice, and that all his fortune wes inherited from I his father. This statement seems to have made quits a sensation at Lola, hie native tows, for a citizen of that place has written a letter to La Norio's, in which he denies it downright, and adds a few odd particulars about Names him, The letter affirms that Nsrvaez, who is a younger son, never possessed the smallest real property at Loja until after he had ten appointed the Queen's minis ter, when he purchased immense estates from one of the heirs of the Countess of Alcudia. Subsequently, in 1832, when, after his last retirement from the ministry, he betook himself to Loja, he bought up everything which was offered for sale, to such an ex tent, says this letter, that if he had remained at Loja going on in the same way, he would have be come the sole proprietor of the town. At the same time, he lived is a style of unheard of loamy at Loja, making a stamp contrast to his earlier life; since it is there well known, says the letter, that the person who is sow entitled the Marshal Doke of Valencia, formerly was a contractor for the collection of the taxes upon certain articles of consumption--amongst others upon brandy—which aloe he retained until his departure to join the army. The same writ..r observes, that it Narvaez had then bairn an rich as be is said to have been from the beginning, he would not have engaged in a traffic of that sort ; and El Leon Espanol is challenged to point out any single estate derived by Nurses from his father, except one little country hones and garden. It is still remembered, says the letter, that when Narvaez emigrated to Paris, his father was obliged to send him an allowance to sub sist upon, and that in order to assist his son, lie was fain to borrow at a heavy interest. This letter has caused a great sensation at Madrid. The emigration of Narvasz, of which it speaks, occurred in 1838, when • movement had been made at Seville by °spiral Cordova, to proclaim a republic. It would be very difficult, now-a-days, to recognise the poor republican colossi, in the present Marital Narvaez, who gen in a splendid carriage to the Tuileries, who dwells in a magnificent Paris hotel during the winter, and occupies in surnmsr a sump tuous rural mansion, which belongs to him, at Mont morency. The kmparar Napoleon and his consort, we are informed by the Alessager de Bayonne, beard maas at the new church at Biarritz, on Sunday, and after dinner they had a reception end a Jowls &waste. In addition to the other company invited by them on Thursdays and Sundays, Oenerel Ripper, the Baron Gros, minister-plenipotentiary, M. board, aft! prefet, Baron Viper, the French consul at St. Sebastian, and M. Bonnet de Chaboalon, with some officer. of the ships of war, Newton and Pelican, were present ; and Spain was represented by Marshal and Madams Serrano,by BMW Olosaga, late Spanish ambassador at Paris, and by Senor Pacheco, the eharyi d'afairee of Spain at the court of London ; but everybody noticed the presence of a captain of the Russian Imperial Guard, in fall uniform, who openly expressed his satisfaction with the welcome bestowed upon him in France. The Bourse this afternoon was much effected by the higher rats of Reports and the sales of railway ohms, which were made to a considerable ausount, sad speculation seemed again to be more favourably disposed towards the Rents, but in the face of so rapid and so general a decline in the prices of railway stock, the Three per Cents. could hardly recover a rise; the Rent* was barely quoted at 70fr. 85c., and declined to 70fr. 700., leaving off at from that to 701 r. 750., or a shads better at the close, as the business dons in it was rather animated. Credit Mobilier, for account, was for some time kept at 1,640 fr. or 1,1345 fr.; it case down 10fr. in later quotations, and left offal the former peke. The mar ket for French railways was deplorable; there were sellers in every direction, and gamely any buyers ; it was quite a panic, and the principal lines were the most affost:d by it ; bat in the last halt•hour speculators cams in, tempted by the fall in prices, and the Lyons, which had been down to 1,3371 r., pas again to 1,347 fr. 50c.; the Mediterranean, from 1,735 fr. to 1,7401 r. ; and the Orleans, from 1,335 fr. to 1,360 fr. The inauguration of the railway from Marseilles to Aiz took place on Sunday, with the earemocies oseal on such occasions ; and, the weather being remark ably fine, a number of persons in their holiday attire had assembled on several pointed the line to see the first train pass. A grand &jemmy was prepared at Aix on the occasion, at which the Marquis de Oreve emir, the Prefect of the Honchos da Rhone, presided, when the usual loyal and other toasts were drank, and heartily responded to. Marshal Count de Castellano has addressed a letter to the &slut Public of Lyons, in which he costar diets a statement made by that Journal to the east that at a review held by him at noon on Sunday lest is the Place Loni►l►Orand, Lyons, several soldiers had been overpowered by the heat, and were oompelled to take shelter in the adjoining homes.

I have already spoken to you of the sententious which prevail between the different sections of the Moderado party. To understand the degree of ani mosity which is excited by these discusions, it is requisite to know whet the Moderado party is. In 1834, most of the present members of that party were merged, more ce lees, in the Carlist ranks; whilst those who, in 1823,were designated the erratic, and in 1834 were called the Progreesists, were the only defenders of liberty. In 1835 and 1836, the Moderado government, finding itself unable to over- Come the Carlists, went down upon its knees to ask for foreign intervention, which it did not obtain. The Progressist party than mobilised the National Guard, created volunteer corps, and saved the °pan try. In 1844 the Moderados gave orders for shooting people down everywhere, without any other formality than the mere identification of the parsons. In 1845, the same party invented conspiracies, in order to arrest some of the Progressista, who had not pre. vioully bacon exiled. In 1846, torrents of blood were abed in Galicia, in consequence of a movement, the causes and the ramification, of which hese never been made known. Down to 1864, to satisfy the cupidity of Munoz and the other leaders of the Moderado party, they governed by simple decrees, without any Cortes. Concessions l ot railway enterprise' were made by private agree .sment, and the impudence of the ruling faction was carried so far se to take money from the coffers of the slate, in order to remunerate the services of the agents of the immodert licentiousness of the Court. At instil, so great were the dishonour and the misery which had been beeped upon the Spanish nation, that the revolution was everywhere hailed with enthusiasm, and the name which was in every month was that of Repartero—a striking testimony in favour of rectitude and honesty. Bach section of the Moderado party seeks to justify what it did when it was in power, by assailing what was done by the others, and by seagoing them of having ceased the unpopularity which attaches to the party es a whole. You will understand, therefore, how dank it will be for them to unite, so as to constitute the famous 0 Liberal Union," which Rios Roses dreams of creating. Incendiarism continues to prevail in the provincn. At Ensure, a district of Valencia, eighteen in cendiary fine are reckoned within lees than one month. A band° of the Captain-Ge neral informs is that one frequent owns of the conflagrations which happen throughout the country is that the pssants, who have the privilege of posturing their cattle on the mountains, are in the habit of setting fire to the dry grass when the stn mar is over, to that the ashes may serve as manure, and that the gram may grow up more thickly after the autumn showers, and the pasturage be more abundant. The bated° gives notice that the right of free pasture will be inter dicted for two years in every distrist where a con fligration shall have been the result of this custom of burning the dry grass. The tour which the democratic deputies ors making through the provinces 'bows that the lats events, instead of weakening their party, have only given it increased energy and recruited it with ad herents from among the advanced Progression. The Democratic Deputy Rule Pena, who is going through the north, at present is at Ba repels, He writes word that the damccratio party is everywhere cedilla of snows, when the ettaggie shall come, in the elections or otherwise.

Oraou ova cnrig coaassrox ROME, Avow 28. It is with no small degree of interest that the Romans watch the result of negotiations between the King of Naples and the allied governments of France and England, convinced that the fate of his Bon:- bogie Majesty must be responded to more or less is the States of the Church, by political modifications as satisfactory as possible to the suggestions of the guardian powers, so to call them, and u much adapted to the exigencies of the times as may be competent with the continuation of the Pontiff's existence as • temporal sovereign. Dishes of inaocaroei and dosses of chempegue are already freely staked by gourmand politicians upon the even twilit, of a revelation in Lombardy, or a change of dynasty in Naples, before the year is out, and despite of their diffidence of foreign interven tion in favour of the peoplh, although they are perfectly aware of its ready efficacy in favour of sovereigns, the oft-deluded Italians are again in earnest hopes of seeing the condition of the Peninsula amended, either by a continental congress or domestic corp ci'ltag. Although the Papal govern ment treats the petitions of the municipalities of Bologna and Romagna for the discontinuation of Austrian occupation with supreme contempt, there is every reason to believe that the Imperial forces are to be forthwith diminished to the level of the French, and subsequently reduced to a mere garrison at Aocons—the French similarly contenting themselves with the occupation of Clefts Vecchia. Ancona will not be grateful for the distinction of being the last stronghold of the Imperial Ibrose in the Pepe dominion, for her commerce has not improved under the blighting influence of Austrian exclusiveness, the tendency of which is to sa crifice all the other ports of the Adriatic to the supremacy of Trieste. How painfully sensible has been the diminution of activity in the harbour of Ancona, sloes the ameepation of the Austrians, may be interred from the fact that there are at present only two square-aligned vesicle in the port to repre sent a mercantile fleet, and month after month pre sents the same a beggarly account ' of empty wharf', the Austria, Lloyd's - weeltly steamers, and an eon signal steamship from Liver, being the only resole that drop in for a few bean, and roses the spttliarities and ishabitents from their monotonous shifts's by the discharge of a few bales of goods and the Left, of a few deny passengers.

The French festivities here have the advantage over those of the Austrians, inasmuch u his Holiness occasionally honours them with his presence, as wan the case on Monday, the festival of St. Louis of France, when the Pope attended at the French na tional church, where be was received with all due honours by the chargé d'Affaires, M. Sampayo, and the general commanding the garrison. His Holiness subsequently prayed broil) the image of St. Louis, and thee repairing to the sacristy, admitted the whole French colony to the honour of kissing his foot. The concession granted by the Grand Duke of Tus cany on the 16th August to the Marquis De Flees, for the construction of a railway from Florence to the Papal frontier by Anent, does not meet with the approbation of the Roman government, as likely to deprive the line from Rome to Bologna of a great part of its traffic ; but there is no doubt that if the section from Foligno to Bologna lases by the proposed Tuscan line, that from Foligno to Rome will gain by the great number of travellers who will choose the route southwards by Arezzo, Perugia, and Foligno. instead of coming, as at present, by Siena. It will then become a matter of necessity to have a branch from Foligno to the Tuscan frontier. The resources of this country, both mineral and agricultural, cannot fail to be largely developed by the mighty influence of railways. Already the attention of the Minister of Finance has been turned to the oat mines of Sogliano, near Forli, for the work ing of which a privilege has been granted to the Marquis Reecalli and Count Brembati of Milan. The Civita Vecchia lies is to be the first commenced next month; but the direction of the central station is not yet decided, nor on which side of the Tiber the lime is to run. Oae of the plans proposes to carry the line out of Rome by the Porta Pinciana, a!oug the Parioli hills, and so across the Tiber near the Acqua Acetoes, thus avoiding the low grounds which are so fre quently inundated in the neighbourhood of the Porta Angelico. It is really to be hoped that the constant occupa tion afforded by these large undertakings will tend to do away with the system of robbery and brigand sge that now so unhappily prevails both in the cities and the country of the Papal dominions. Yesterday morning the official sentence of eight brigands, con victed of twelve capital offences, appeared posted about the city ; and last night, by way of response, the shop of Periooli, the jeweller in the Corso, was broken into, and entirely plundered, in spite of gas lights and gendarmes. Last week, on Wednes day morning, the band that usually infests the forest through which the road passes from Rome to Porto d'Anzto, attacked the travellers proceeding by dili gence to the latter town, near Carrocceto, the customary locality selected for such exploits by the outlawed practitioners of Campo Morto. The Tuscan Vice-Consul, Signor De Angelic, was the first to appease the bandits by the offering of sixty (good Neapolitan piastres, which they seemed to appreciate so much as to become quite bland in their demeanour to the other two passeogers--cee of whom, by the bye, was a major in the army, bat did not advise resistance to the enemy, on account of numerical inferiority, besides the disadvantage of being taken by surprise and unarmed; whilst the aggressors were four in number, and armed in the redundant style they usually affect. The booty secured by the robbers amounted to about 160 scudi, with which they decamped, leaving the Vic - Consul's pocket-book and papers on the ground as valueless, whereas there were upwards of fifty more scudi in notes amongst the leaves, which he was very glad to restore to his breast coat pocket again. One of the most audacious attempts, however, that I have lately heard of took plate here on the festival of the Madonna, early in the morning, when about 20 men went with six carts, and loaded them with Indian corn, which was ready out on the farm of Coerso, about six miles from Rome. The guardian of the farm, seeing this wholesale robbery, dared not interfere, but followed the plunderers at a distance on horseback, until they reached the walls of Rome, round which they proceeded to enter by the Porta del Popolo. The guardian then spurred his horse, and went on to the gate to inform the custom-house officers of the robbers' arrival. These officials attempted to arrest the offenders whilst entering the gate; but the latter no sooner saw what was in the wind, than, turning the carts round, they got outside again, and pelted the officers with stones so furiously as to prevent their follow ing. In fact, the thieves got clear off with their cartleads of plunder, although, besides the custom house officers, there was a French corps de garde at the gate, and the barracks of the horse gendarmerie Ocoee by. The Roman papers made great rejoicings over the Duchess of Boooleuch's accession to the ranks of papalism, and demonstrated most convincingly the importance of such a conversion ; but the reversion of the Earldom of Shrewsbury to a protestant nobleman is passed over by them without comment. lExchange on London, 474.60.

A letter ftom Vienna, in the Cologne Casette, says:—" The military measures that our government is taking in Italy, and which do not merely consist in placing the sth corps of the army on a war footing, have given a fresh impulse to the hostile sentiments of Sardinia towards Austria. It is stated that the Sardinian army is to be incremd, and that Count Carour has already addressed a note to the Sardinian ministers at foreign courts, in which he declares that this measure has been adopted solely in consequence of the policy of Austria, and intimates pretty clearly that be will not tolerate a purely Austrian interren. tion in Italy." The Emancipation of Bravele contains the follow. ins description of the new law which is being pre pared for the communal organisation of the Austrian empire: The law is to be applicable to the whole of the monarchy, wish the exception of the military frontiers and the Lom• bards-Venetian Kirgdom. The communes will not be sub jected to the absolute iofisenee of the great landed proprie tors, bat will have the right of electing their mayors, deputy-mayors, and municipal councillors. As to the complete emJncipaticn of the peasants it re mains a jail aCirliit. The provincial deputations will hold as annual session, but their committee, will be p:rmanent. The Emperor reserves to himself the right, when circumstances may require it, of assembling all the representative. of the monarchy, and to call together the ordinary members of the provincial deputation.. Thu* provincial deputations will be composed, not of all the nobles in virtue of their rank, but oily of tto e who are landed proprietor.; end their nomination will arise lees from their quality of nobility than from the fact of their being land owners. Landed proprietors, who are rot nobles, may form part of the same provincial deputations. The members of the high clergy will not figure in provincial representations except as owners of land.

The following i.: a summery of the proceedings of Congress from the New York Daily Times of that date : Congress was eogsged yesterday almost satin• sive:y in the consideration of the Army Bill. In the Senate, after the bill had been received from the Rouse of Representatives as passed on the previous day, it was agreed that it was unnecessary to refer the bill, as it was precisely the same as that which had been lost on the Monday, and u the subject was perfectly understood. Mr. Hooter moved to strike out the proviso, which was agreed to by 35 against 7, and the bill was passed. Both hones adhered to the action which they had taken. Mr. Bell, of Tenneme, characterised the action d the House of Representative!, as unusual, unpsrlia mentary, and inexcusable, and be pronounced the proviso nothing better than an " abatreet idea." He ingested a committee of conference. Mr. Hunter did not believe a committee of confer. ence would be able to agree ; and he proposed rather to let the Appropriation Bill fail, if it were tummy. Mr. Cass said he reprded this as the moat solemn crisis in the histoty of the country, and he hoped the people would awake toe sense of the danger. Mr. Wade argued that instead of the House of preaentativea trying to dictate to the Senate, it was the Senate who were trying to dictate to the House; and he urged the propriety of the Senate receding, so u to pass the bill. Without com;ng to soy conclusion, the Senate adjourned. In the House of Representatives, the Speaker was requested to draw his warrant for mileage allowance, and the allowance per diem, in favour of Thomas Child'. A message wes received from the Senate, announc ing its action on the Army Bill. The House of Re presentatives refused to strike out the proviso by a majority of 96 to 94, and also refused to reconsider the bill, by the same vote. After some skirmishing, the House of Represent& uses voted that they would adhere to the ground taken by them in this disagreement with the Senate; and they again refused to reconsider the proviso. An effort was made to introduce a resolution to adjourn sine die, but it failed. The House of Representatives afterwards took a short recess, to await the further action of the Senate, and on reassembling they immediately adjourned, that body having come to no conclubion.
