The very grievance of our West lirdia merchants was, that the supply was greater than the demand. Under f:lese circumstances would it be wise to encourage a still greater supply ? He did net say that on no account should the East India sugar trade be opened, but that no cake had yet been made out to prove the necessity of doing so. The Noble Earl then alluded to the condition of the Slaves in the West Indies, which was improved in proportion with the prosperity of thegl enters. He concluded by moving that the Colonies Trade Bill be read a third time. The Marquis of BUTE, convinced of the import ance of registering slaves, to effect the total abolition of the Slave Trade, and conceiving that their Lord ships were bound to d o everythingin their power to secure-that object, proposed, that a clause should be added to the Bill to the following effect:—" That ne Island should be entitled to the benefits provided by this Bill until it had adopted a system for the Registration of Slaves, similar to that established I at Trinidad." • _ - NAVY-OFFICE, Apse 12, 1822.

INSURANCE SOCIETIES. WATKINS'S CONVEYANCING, FOURTH EDITION, Q 0 many new Societies for Insurance have lately started up—the professions of all are so enticing—the pre tensions of some are so delusive—while at the same time stabi lity and honour in these institutions are so essential to the peace of families who commit their protection to them, that great cau tion is now more than ever necessary in the selection of an In surance Office. About half a century since, there was a similar rage for Insurance and Annuity Schemes. Dr. Price said of their projectors, " they believe that tlrs schemes they are support rug will last Meer Anw, and Mat they will be gainers, and as to the in jury that may be done to their successors or to others—it is at a t:istance, and they care little about it." In the event they all aad from the race which the projectors of the new So cieties are running, in the reduction yrates, there is every reason to expect that a similar result will befal many of the Societies of the present day. Of this the members of several have become so well convinced, after a few years experience, that they have broken up, and joined more thriving bodies. The members of the Birmingham Life Qfsce dissolved their concern, and paid up wards of X 20,000 in one sum, to be admitted into the Paovr- T.EXT I.f_• Office. The London Commercial Life Office also dis sslvcd, and paid another large sum to join the PROVIDENT Life i y,cn. These Companies were respectably conducted, and the ::tanagers, failing to procure a sufficiency of business upon ade c:iiate premiums, preferred a dissolution of their Societies, to iri:ing a trade upon losing term!, to protract their individual ad iNia:f:ge as officcrs. It behoves the Public at large to exercise a sinilar prudence, and to inquire strictly into the characters and eon duct of those who offer them their protection, before they commit their interest to hands which have proved unfaithful, or e•hi_h remain entried.
