PUBLIC CAUTION. APRETENDED " Comparative View" of the NEW NORWICH Fl RE-OFFICEand the COUNTY, is advertised by the Secretary of the. Norwich Office, in which several of the leading averments have not a word of truth. Those which chiefly concern the Public, however, are the chewing off of the increase of Insurances, and the Returns made by the Old Norwich Union Society (now broken up), as things done by the Now Joint Stock Company, which has assumed the name of eat Norwich Union. These Returns, &c. might just as well be advertised by the Ilope, the Eagle, or any other Office, except ing that Mr. Bignuld, who was Secretary to the OW Mutual Assurance Society, is haw Secretary to the New Joint Stock Company.

GeNntssfex—l am this day favoured with your letter. The et:ly cotice I have had of any change in the plan and constitu tion of the Norwich Union Society, is from an account of what Fasced in Chancery. Whatever may be the present plan, or its advantages or defects, I have no means of saying.; but Tdo conceive, by the original Deed, it was incompetent to make the alteration, to abrogate the Scheme of mutual Insurance, without tl•c consent of the Society. " In looking at an abstract of the Deed, I observed a method pr:;cribed let the supplying vacancies in the Direction. Now r. does not appear to me that the Subscribers have ever been consulted, or bad an opportunity of sb doing. lamat a loss, therefore, to know by what tight or authority the present Direc tors execute tkar cfficc. If I feel that this does carry with it as appearance that is calculated to create suspicion, you must excuse me. " It does strike me that the present Conductors arc bound to come forward and meet the Insurers in public, arid exhibit a statement of the accounts of the Society, and chew in what par *iculars the present plan varies from the original ; and such per !los as are nut satisfied with the present plan, should be at liberty to withdraw from the Society.

Ido not think it consistent to apply to the Conunittee in London, as, though th,ir explanation might au& lice fur myself, it may not be satisfactory to others; and I feel have a double duty, as an individual ard a Trustee.
