This Company is forme.t with the special object of uniting Into one strong institution, with its chief °Moe in London, numerous small local and colonist institutions, requiring consolidation and additional strength and resource. The principle of so uniting small colonial institutions has been most successfully applied to colonial and foreign banking cool penile and as London is becoming daily more and more the great " cleariun.honse" of the commercial world, the different colonial insurance ofices bare esperknced the absolute neces sity of being effectually represented there, and this representa tion they now realise can only be fully secured, as in the case of the colonial local banks, through amalgamation wish some London company of ample means and commanding general confidence. The Directors of the Horne and Colonial Company have been applied to by shareholders in these companies to establish such London institution. and are now in treaty with several eery 1114 C• manful colonial insurance Whisk either for entire ania4asos4css, on very favourable terms. of for that beneficial reciprocity of agency which will at once secure to the ilom• and Colonial As surance Company a moat valuable, safe, and lucrative Magness as a co-operative maharanee company. It may be mentioned, as indicative of the success of the Colo nial insurance companies, that their selling prices range from 100 to as high as 1.000 per cent. premium. and the increase of Insurance buziness in the Australian. south African. Canadian, and Eastern nettlements, is at a rate of progress which has no parallel in 'European cowariea. The principle of assuring Investments made through the Compaay's agency—a principle so successfully carried out by colonial odices—will enter as a new feature Into the objects of the Lome and Colonial Assurance Company ; and as la lii numerous agencies In all parts it will possess peculiar facili ties for making assured investments for individuals In *mod foreign and securities, the Directors contidently antici pate, from the agency aced insurance charised in this department of their business, a very ler,e and steady revenue to their share holders. While, however, the Home and Colonial Assurance Company will specially direct its atventlon to foreign and colonial business, It will not neglect at the same time to cultivate a home business, a department which will be greatly fostered through its colonial connexion. IS will aloo. as a Fire Assurance Company, share In that Larne Increase of tire insurance business here which may be expected to follow the anticipated abolition of the heavy and impolitic stamp tan at present imposed on policies of insurance. ho promotion money given in connexion with this Company, and the Directors' remuneration to be left to the shareholders.

The malt-tax, which presses with peculiar seventy on the farming interest, I should be prepared to abolish, nor do I conceive that if due seaway is enforced. there should be any occasion to provide • substituted enures of revenue.

The semi-official Nord-deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung of to-day says : " Prussia, in accepting the proposal of a con ference, declared that a solution of the question must have another basis than the treaty of 1852, and that the question of nationality must receive satisfactory consideration. "Prussian and Austrian circular notes have been addressed to the Federal governments specially inviting them to take part in the deliberations. It is considered very probable that the Federal Diet will be represented at the conference." The Nord-deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung recom mends that the question, whether they will be German or Danish, should be submitted to the duchies. PARIS, Ann. 1. The session of the Corps Legislatif will be pro longed until the 4th of May. _ . . Advices received here from Frankfort state that disagreement exists between Prussia and Austria relative to the representation of the Diet at the conference. Prussia, it is affirmed, wishes to be furnished by the Diet with full powers, while Austria supports the choice of a representative from among the minor States. It is believed that the Diet will support the Austrian suggestion. OPENING OF THE TRENCHES AT DUFFEL GRAVENSTEIN, XANCII 31. On the night of the 29th the first parallel before Duppel was opened.

Your correspoodoot u right in stating that prisoners in this country have been given up to Russia. J, too, did not believe the report, but to-day I ascertained two unmistakeable facts. A traveller who arrived here yesterday saw on the Plogow road five fugitives from Volhynia and Podolia, ac. companied by a strong military escort, who informed him that they were being taken to Brody to be given up to the Russians. The emend incidest is as follows : Fim days ago three foreigners from Podolia pprreeswenatd themselves before the district authorities in Boreavow (district of esortkow), stalls, that they had just crossed the frontier to seek refuge from certain exile to Siberia, and requesting permission to remain. The chief of the district reported this to the authorities, who by telegram ordered hies to "regard theme persons as having reported themselves after the expiratioe of the period of 48 hours. sod immediately to mod them back to the Russian authorities o the trea tise." These three unfortunate people are named Polog, Orxmot, and Goecki, which are probably assumed names."

(Loud cheep.) Did they call him • republican ! He had had the honour of sitting in the commission of ber Majesty; and he thought say man who could wish to change, when they had such a sovereign as they had at present, their beau tiful mixed constitution for a republic (not to mention the ex ample they had in America), must be more fit for a mad house than for the House of Commons. (Laughter and cheers.) But while he bad his own views of the church, and while he claimed to himself the right of being • member of that church, he held out the hand of friendship to all denomina tions of Christians. (Cheers,) He anted not whether a man were a churchman or dissenter, he was willing to co-operate with him, asking no questions as to his party or his faith. They then dims to the question of church-rates--(hear)—and he told them at once that he thought it was • question which had agitated the public mind longeoough, and be thought it ought to be brought to a conclusion. (Loud cheers.) He believed it to .be to the advantage of the church that church rates should be abolished ; aod that many church men agreed with him that the property of the church was amply suff elect to carry out all the waste and all the requirements of that church. (Hear, bear.) If, therefore, they should return him to parliament, he should do his ut most to see that the revenues of the church were not taken from them, but that they should be properly administered for the wants of the church and the requirements of the people. (Chun.) They would find him a staunch sup porter of any liberal government. He thought they were much indebted to the present government for having man , aged to keep the country out of war. (Loud cheers.) He was inclines to think that with reference to America the government had pursued • wise and consistent course; and that the people of this country were highly deserving of praise for not having urged the ministry t 3 go to war to support their interests. (Cheers.) Thee as to the Duce, he thought the government had due all they could. (Cheers, and cries of "No, no.") They had inter fered to the utmost of their power ; and he asked those gentlemen at the end of the room who cried "No, no," and who were entitled to their opinions, whether they were • prepared to awry out their opinions, sod to enter into a European war for the sake of the Doom! (Cheers.) They remembered the late European war. Let them think of the money that would be spent ; let them think of the d e bt that wou ld be incurred ; let them think of England standing alone against the nations of Europe ; and he would ask them whether they were prepared to undertake that! (Loud cheers, end cries of "No, no.") If they were, he told thole at once he was not the man to do it, and they must chooses man of different politics to him. He thought of all the horrors of war ; he thought of the families in mourning ; and he then came to the conclusion that war ought to be their lad resource, and be would ask the hon. gentleman who said " yes" whether be thought the Danes were right, and supposing they were, whether he thought this greet Nation was to put forth its strength, with Fresco marching on the Rhine, and Napoleon commencing • war which might last longer than any at that meeting might live. (Cheeea.) Let them think of the income tax. Let them think of that tax being increased main ; but, above all, the honors of • war in which the p e opl e of this country would he involved. Surely it was enough that this great country should carry out its own affairs without interfering with dices of other people. At the close of the learned serjeant's address • resolution pledging the meeting to support him at the next election was agreed to, although only about forty hands were held up in its favour. The great majority of the meeting did not vote either way. PRIIINDLY SOCIETIES /ND THE GOTZRNMENT ANNOITIZB BILL. The following correspondence has been pub lished : " Batheaston, Bath, March 31. "Sir.—Will you permit me to haste your attention to the inclosed released report of • little society, the %th reaten arel St. Catherine's Independent Friendly Society, I have established in this village!

Sir,— In replying to your letter of yesterday. I must request you will have the goodness to observe that the healing of the Government Aocuities Bill; when it shall have pared into law, upon friendly societies, is, in many respects, a matter of opinion, and of such opinion as cannot at present be effectually illustrated by facts. In other points of view it is • question on which mach light is thrown by experience. bat by experience of • kind which I do not posts. Others are far better qualified than I am to judge bow far limitation of numbers is a hindrance to the etablistimeet and maintenance of stable friendly societies. But I may state, in the first place, that if it be so I shall much lament it. It Is no part of the object of the government to displace or injure such societies. I know of umbiog more uaeful, more laudable, mole truly English and Christian, than a well-constitutsd friendly society. What we seek is to provide for those—and they are many— who are unable to avail themselves of the benefits of such institutions. The best practical reply, however, which I can give to your letter is this—The greatest difficulty, essentially inherent in the business of small assurances, is the amount of working exposes necessary to be incurred. Now, although the government business can be carried on without that 'Rabelais* of working °bargee which may be observed in certain case, I have never held out the spec. tattoo that we can work very cheaply, since all the work done will be minute, and must be done under checks of the strictest kind, some of which might perhaps be disp e n se d with in such friendly societies as really answer to the game. Their machinery, on the other hand, ought to based, in many eases, I believe is. extremely cheap; slid if they can avoid other daggers, I think that on this ground, as well as on the ground of their providing sick pay, which we caunot do, they will have nothing to fear from our competition. Among • labouring population of some 24,000,000 it does not appear that more than 2,000,000, or one-twelfth, are in friendly societies of any class or kind. Surely there Is here a field broad enough for diversity of species, and for leaving some liberty of choice to the labouring man, which be will exercise according to his circumstances. If I am asked what I mean by other dangers I would venture to specify three. Friendly societies will be in danger when, with the idea and theory of self-government, they allow their affairs to be in the hands of managers at • dietanee, whom the members me no more control than the electoral body of the mussy could, without the House of Commons, control the Queen a government. They will be iu deoget when their rules and tables have not been beyond all doubt uorrtsioed by emireked and instructed authority to be, not merely legal, but Iris and prudent. Lastly, I fear they will very often be io danger when they transact their business at the public.bnese.—l have the tumour to be. rev. sir, year faithful meant, " Rev, Thomas C. Finch. " W. E.

As your yueatioa relates to a matter of general loterset, I think it will sat be disagreeable to you that I should give publicity to your letter and toy reply, which can be dose more ounvemently now than when parliameut shall have reassembled.'

MITROPOL/TAN BOARD or WOREA.—The usual meetiog of the board was held yesterday at the offices to Spring-gardens ; Mr. .1. Thwaites in the chair. The chairman said they had received many applications from various districts out of their juriadictiou to drain iato the metropolitan main sewers. The question bad been asked over what area the board exercised jurisdiction, and he might state that the area was 117 square =lira To increase it would bring a large quantity of water into their sewer, which would mot a vast amount of money to get rid of, and would interfere with the 'yet.= which the board wee oar. lying oat. The conaideratiou of that had led him to another question, which it would be for the government to decide, namely, whether the districts out of their jurisdiction were to be allowed to drain into the Thames. and thus pollute the strum which the metropolitan districts wens going to such a vast expense to cleanse. The area external to their district was 343.000 square miles, with a population of 414,000. The &Liaised such a district must pollute the river, sod it would be very unfair for the metropolitan dietricta to put them to such an expense as they incur is cleansing the river, while others were polluting it. He thought they ought to ask government to call upon the district. out of the metropolitan area to deodorise their sewage in some way so as not to pollute the Thames. On the motion of Mr. Dixon, seoooded by Mr. Carpmael, the snipjatt was referred to the Main Drainage Committee, with instructions to communicate with the government thereon.
