Query.—As Mr. Beaumont says, " Will not the Public tire of such tricks?" COCKER. NEW NORWICH INSURANCE COMPANY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. SlR—Observing"a Letter in your Paper from Mr. BioaoLa, the Secretary to the above once, reflecting on the publication of an 0111cial Letter from J. C. Curwen, Esq. M.P. as Trustee to the late Norwich Union Society, to Mr. avoid, as Secretary, and insinuating that the letter was " pro. corad by stealth," I repel the insinuation with contempt. A copy of the letter was banded to me by a Member of the diet-" solved Norwich Union Society, and I understand it was read at a Public Meeting ef the Members, who, with Mr. Curwen,were indignant at finding their Society meetly destroyed, and their pro perty turned over to a Joint Stock Company. At this Meeting Mr. Curwen was present. The honourable and public-spirited Trustee's letter to the Secretary was within* but a private communication. It was an Oast TOINOMUMISCIj and, desirable as ft might be for the interests of Mr. Bignold to kap k avert, it was squally necessary for the interests of the members, and to the high character of the writer, that it should be made public. The assertions that Mr. Curwen insures in the New Company, and "supports it as a Trustee," are wholly sasfundeif. I am, Ike. Mice, 227, Shoreditch ; J. HUBBARD.

CERTAIN anonymous Letters and other Publica tions having been lately inserted In the Newspapers of this Kingdom, which are intended to injure the Nominal Union FIRS INSURANCE SOCIETY', the Board of Directors have deter mined to lay before the Public a plain statement of the change which has' taken place in the principle of the Society, in addi tion to that general information which they have already given through their Agents, as well as by means of Advertisements and by Circulars. The principle of the Norwich Union Fire Office was for many years that of mutual guarantee amongst the parties insured, and ' although the Concern might have continued longer upon that principle, it was liable to di ffi culties from having no fixed Ca. pital ; the Directors felt this objection, and were glad to embrace an opportunity that lately offered of fortifying the Society against great and extraordinary losses, by a large subscribed Capital.— As the Premiums in hand at the time this change was effected belonged exclusively to the Insured, they were not mixed with the new Subscriptions, and are now in a course of repayment to the parties insured, agreeably to the provisions of the former Constitution of the Society. The Subscription now entered into by an opulent Proprietory, amounts to £350,000, and the ad vantages reserved to the parties insured, under the new Consti tution are these-- I. That they are free from all risk or responsibility for each others losses. 11. That they receive back three parts out of five of the sur plus Premiums and Savings of the Society. 111. That this Return is made at the end of Three Years, and ts not withheld from persons who remain insured only for one or two years, nor from those who have had claims fur losses. This is the general outline of the Principle, and with regard to the Plan, there are Boards of Management in London, /Edin burgh, and Dublin, and Local Committees in other Cities and Towns throughout the United Kingdom, appointed for the pur pose of assisting the Directors in the prompt investigation and settlement of claims for losses. The Agents of the Potablidunent were instructed to take every means of explaining the alterations which bad been mad* in the principle of the Society, and the most unequivocal testi monies of their being cordially approved by the Insured, were soon received from all parts of the Kingdom. A feeble attempt to prevent the new principle from being acted upon, was made by four Individuals in London, who ap plied to the Court of Chancery for an Injunction a gainst the Directors, en the ground that they had misapplied the Funds and Property of the Insured, but this charge being unsup. ported by any evidence, and completely disproved on Oath, the Lord Chancellor dismissed the application with costs; at the same time observing, that he was quite sure the addition of a Capital of 5e6.50,000, must be a prodigious improvement. The Board of Directors of the Norwich Union The In. surance Society have only to add, that they are desirous the Public should know the whole of their proceedings, as regards the management and general conduct of this Establishment, that they court every inquiry, and are open to every investigation. as they are to act with a liberal and friendly feeling tow o t her Other Offices, they lament to observe that one Fire Mice (the County) has lately departed from that fair and liberal course which should mark the conduct of all public bodies. In proof of the general confidence placed in the Norwich Union• Fire Insurance Society, the Board of Directors refer the Public to the annexed statement of Duties : For the Year 1820, £41,554 3 9 For the Year Int, 56,625 9 3 For the last Quarter, 14,470 15 4 (Signed) JEREMIAH IVES, President.

THE Managers of the New Norwich Union Fire Qfre having, in the explanation which they have at length published, " of the change which has taken place in the prin ciple" of their Josurance Business, thought At to complain of the attacks which they have suffered, and particularly of the view which the CAntnty Fire Office has taken of their conduct, some notice of their Advertisement may be necessary. The Members of the County Fire Office bad no intention to exult in the " peat distress, peril, losses, and differences," sb pathetically pleaded in Chancery by the Norwich Insurance Managers, in defending themselves against a charge of fraud, and in Justification of their acts in breaking up the late Nor -1 wich Union Society—still less did they mean to find fault with the principle of their New Insurance Company, which, being an imitation of the Plan of the County Fire Office, is flattering to its Members; but they have deprecated, and they do most emphatically condemn the unfairness, not to say dishonesty, with which the advantages, real or pretended, of the dissolved Norwich Union Society are quoted for a course of years, and are now advertised and foisted on the Public as benefits which have been conferred by the New Company, net yet seven months old—they assert the right of warning the Public against this delusion, so long as it shall continue to be practised. The Managers of the New Norwich Office advertise with an air of equal benignity and stateliness, that they are " dis posed to act with a liberal and frien dly feeling toward other Offices," and comment on " the fair and liberal course which should mark the conduct of all public bodies." A liberal and friendly feeling does subsist between the Insurance Offices ge nerally. If the feeling toward the Norwich Insurers form an exception, may not the reason of it be found in their successive attacks on every respectable Establishment, their personal abuse of all who question their proceedings or designs, and their gross misrepresentations of facts? The sincerity of the professed commendation of " a fair and liberal course" the Public may judge of, when replies shall be given to the following questions, they have been in the Newspapers some days, but are not yet answered : Ist.
