We have no faith in this country in men who are for ever intruding a yof the week was chimera to defeat a practicable end—who lie by with their eloquence, facts, passions, and prejudices, until the enemy has mustered his forces, intrenched himself in every strategical position, and is ready to sweep a few thousands of deluded patriots off the face of the earth Such is the position of the Austrian army in the Le nations, the French forces in Rome, the troops in Naples, and the anti-republican army of Piedmont ; and yet MAZZINI would call out his few thousands of followers to meet the legions we have named, and to provoke the moral hostility of every Constitutional country in Europe •I May unhappy Italy be spared such an affliction, and may the cause of civil and religious freedom throughout the world be rescued from so lamentable a reverse and defeat. The Roman people may be led by blind or wicked counsellors into the meshes of preceding seventy-five years of life insurance from the gaze of the public. Somerset House returns do not penetrate beyond the surface of the provi dent kingdom. They are more romantic than torical—more condemnatory than instructive •ays contended, immatured sciences; and, like all other calculations based on uncertainties, can not be pronounced either right or wrong, until the last hour of the period of time over which their probabilities are spread has expired. If an office commences business to-day, it has tables prepared on certain computations of risk, and its probabilities may be spread over twenty, twenty five, or thirty-five years, and the rates of premium are regulated accordingly. Some actuaries and accountants of great prac tical shill and experience, and of unquestionable professional standing, have demonstrated that the premiums charged by new companies are sufficiently high to secure all the benefits the public had previously derived from the more extravagant charges of the older offices; and the only way in which the insured and the corn munity generally can satisfy themselves whether they are right or wrong, is by comparing the actual position of the new offices with that of an equal number of the old office,whose affairs the REGISTRAR-GENERAL is not suffered to expose for some wise Parliamentary reason. Take the history of the first eleven years of the Amicable or any other of the old companies in existence, and compare it with that of any of the offices established in 1815, and let us hear the An insurance speculation has little or no connection with the present.. The benefit it has to receive and bestow belongs to the future. It needs no large amount of dormant capital Those who, with the London Times, assail the new companies, know this as well as we do, and that publicity and popularity is all the capital any insurance office needs, and that every insurance establishment in Europe lives by and pays all result its liabilities out of income. An insurance office is nothing more than a depository, in which a hundred or more persons pay in so much money, to pay off a certain sum on the deaths of a fraction of their numbers. At the commencement of such a concern, it is necessary to expend a largo sum to get business and raise an income. And until a company has been in operation long enough to enable it to get a sufficient number of policies to pay its expenses, and for the length of time required to test the accuracy of its calculations as regards the accruing of liabilities, no one has a right to charge it with weakness, or to drag its affairs before the public. Hit pays its way, it ought to enjoy the privacy which is allowed to all other joint-stock undertakings.

Far vendetta, or taking vengeance of foreign enemies, is not in Italy's power, and she must wait her time, and wise and honest friends to redress her multitude of wrongs or become a prey to all the military vampires and intriguing political tyrants of the Continent. THE " great insurance bubble " is about to burst, if it has not already exploded. The Act of the 7th and Bth of VICTORIA, chap. 110, was concocted as a protection to what are called " the old companies," and right well it has answered its purpose so far. From the returns of "the new companies " estab lished under the provisions of that statute, it appears that fifty-four offices have been opened, and that out of that number thirteen have ceased Of the surviving associations, the expen diture of thirty is said to have exceeded their receipts ; while of the remaining twenty-four offices the expenses of twenty-two are reported as within their income, and two have made out statements which are not understood. These are very un- to exist pleasant disclosures ; but, it must be remembered, that they relate only to " new companies." The ERAL'S report only goes back to 1815. It dues not lift the curtain which hides the MONETARY AND COMM ERC IAI , LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY EVENING.

The second day's inquest on the body, found and such mysterious circumstances in the mes, rather deepens than clears the obscurity that hangs over it for it adds the possibility of iicide to the other conjectures it has been sing. We report it f Our foreign news is almost devoid of a single important fact. The Paris ministerial papers are gravitatir g every day more towards Russia ; Italy is every day strengthening in its tendency to a revo lutionary struggle—not to say Italian nationality ; and Russia seems to maintain her attitude of sullen obstruction and delay, 'in reference to the complete performance of the conditions of the aty. A contribution to the history of the past, Garibaldi reveals to 1 - 1 at and f orated C ur othi aded from the benefi emorbi of insurance, by their The old companies were igned for the rich. Those of more modern data have brought the most valuable provident institutions to the doors of every class, down to those of the humblest artisans and working-men. The wisdom of Government interference with such a movement is very questionable, to say the least of it; and we do think courting inquiry, and provoking comparison, will not be at all likely to improve the business, or add much to the stability of those Associations which boast so largely of their antiquity. Our whole system of life assurance is wrong, and the more we extend it the worse it becomes. Our tables of mortality are as defective as they were fifty years ago ; and another quarter of a century must pass away, before we can give the errors into which we have fallen their full value. All we now know, as we have frequently stated is, that our population goes on increasing geometri tally, under all conditions; and until we abandon the uncertainties attending death, and can devise a plan of extending the benefits of insurance, so as to derive an income from the augmentation of our numbers, so long will the rivalry between old and new companies be more or less hazardous, and the extension of the present system prove illusory, if not ruinous We should not, however, attempt to escape from a dilemma, by attacking the horn which has only threatened to gore us, and leave the one that has pinned us to the wall without a word of admonition or reproof The fact is, the old companies are very dear insurers, and can offer the public no better security than their tables contain, and their income-accounts show; the new offices d their work cheaper, as their prospectuses prove, and if the public give them the preference, and pay their premiums with moderate regularity, we have no doubt that, at the end of the number of years over which their liabilities are spread, their calculations of the professional men will be found quite as accurate as the statistics of Somerset House. The latter really prove nothing to those who understand the subject , beyond this, that a certain number of life insurance 51 in all—have been established sin ce 1845; that many of them are in a flourishing condition ; that 13 only have retired from business; that 40 have made no returns ; and that one and all of them have expended large sums of money in pushing their claims to public support. offices— THE ROYAL SQUADRON PLYMOUTH, Wedne.day Evening.—Her Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert, the Royal Family , and attend ants , w ent up the River Tamar to-day , so far as Cothele, i n the Fairy, and from thence to the W eir Head, in the G yp s y .

An unsophisticated teetotaller being asked the meaning of syntax, replied, " the penalty one has to pay for getting drunk." Theodore Hook said to an alderman who had already surfeited him, and yet pressed him to partake of still another course, " I thank you ; but if it's the same to you, 1 , 11 take the rest in money." Colonel B—, who was very fat, being accosted by a man to whom he owed money, with a " how d'ye do ?" answered, " Pretty well, I thank you ; you find I hold my own."—" Yes sir," rejoined the man, " and mine too, to my sorrow."

" • OT A BAD ILLUSTRATION.—Not long ago an Englishman observed a stone roll down a staircase. It bumped on every stair till it came to the bottom ; there, of course, it rested. " That stone." said he, " resembles the national debt of my country ; it has bumped on every grade of the community, but its weight is on the lowest." A GENTLEMAN.—It rakes four things to make a thorough gentleman. You must be a gentle,nan in your principles, a gentleman in your tastes, a gentleman in your person, and a gentleman in your manners. Na man who does not combine the:e qualities can be justly named the true gentleman. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Simla has been discharged from the Transport service, and is now fitting out to be placed on the Alexandrian mail packet line. During the last eighteen months she has conveyed 10 000 horses—she several times bad between 500 and 600 horses on board at one time. Three times she performed the voyage between England and Constan tinople and back again in a month. By burning at the rate of 60 tons of coals per day she steamed thirteen and fourteen kiots as hour.

The rise has been greater on unskilled that even skilled labour, being 53, orupwards of 40 per cent. These labourers are almost exclusively Irish ; and, strange to say, that while in the n orth of Ireland, within 30 miles of Belfast, labourers can be got from Is to 1s 6d per day, or 6s to 9s per week , with the cost of transit per steam t o Glasgow of from 2s 61 to 4=, the flow of Irish immigr a ti on to Glasgow has greatly diminished.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING The Constitutionne/ has an article on the affairs of Naples, which, I am told, has been communi cated to it by the Government, and which conse quently expresses the views of the Government; but it says little that it not known already. Thus, it declares that the reply of the King of Naples to the remonstrances of England and France was a refusal to attend to what they said, and was offensive in form. But it says that in compliance with the representations ofAustria he subsequently consented to exercise some acts of clemency, so as to avert the anger of the Western Powers: It intimates, however, that these concessions are not sufficient, and it states that he must do something to remove the painful impression which his reply to the French and English notes have created on the Governments of the two countries. Touching the Italian question, I am informed that the French Government will probably refrain from adopting any decisive policy with respect to it, until it shall hear what M. Hubner, the Austrian ambassador in this city, who has been sent into Italy on a mission from his government, has to say on it. The idle reports that . the Emperor contemplates a divorce from the Empress, which have been current lately, are again repeated, but they merit no attention. On the contrary, the Emperor, so far from contemplating a divorce, seems disposed to initiate the Empress into the practice of state affairs, and the ministers have been directed to take her opinion on certain matters. Constantinople accounts to the 4th, say, that as France and Turkey had no vessels to send to take part in the' demonstration made by England in the Black Sea, four other English vessels had been sent into that sea. The difficulties with respect to Bolgrad had not diminished. Tekeddon Pasha had been nominated governor of Kars. Corn had risen in price at Constantinople, and the harvest in the Asiatic provinces had failed from drought, but the stores of 1855, in these provinces, were untouched, and vast quantities of corn could be obtained from the Russian provinces in the Sea of Azoff.

(BEFORE MR COMMISSIONER AITTRPIIY.) In re Tuomns W. M. O'KEEFE.—This insolvent, who had been manager and proprietor of Miss Stanley's " Si en Ages of Woman," was heard in the Insolvent DAtors' Court, on Wednesday, on his petition under the P , ison Act. Mr. Reed opposed for Mr. Moore, up'aolsterer, in Finsbury; person ; Mr. Dowse supported. F, will be remembered that two creditors named Foulkes and Simmonds app e a re d in the insolvent and a Mr. Ghislin (who had petitioned under the Protection Act) had been joint managers and proprietors of the entertainment called the "Seven Ages of Woman.' Miss Stanley was to have one clear third of the rec; ipts . Mr. Moore had supplied carpets, chairs, &c., for the enter- , tainment, at St. Martin's-hall, and was, as the insolvent stated, to give six months' credit. Mr. Simmonds had previously . a stage, but th rea t ene d to take it away, and t t re P a ld p e pl!Cation to Mr. M oore through an agent hone e S named Willett. When the insolvent and Ghislin were at Liverpool to open there they were arrested on a judge's order by Moore, as also Miss Stanley. The money was paid into court and returned on the judge being satisfi, d that they did not contemplate leavin,c., the country. Miss ,Emma Stanley had gone to New York. The action Wag tried, and a verdict given for Mr. Moore, at an expense of about £4O. Had there been no defence the costs would have been £3 Ba. Mr. Commissioner Murphy was of opinion that there could be no complaint for a vexations d e f ence . The insolvent proved, and the attorney for Mr. Moore admitted, that the goods had been offered to be re turned. The former stated the terms of credit to be given, and sold he had subpeermed Mr. Moore, but he was iiet its attendance. Some witnesses were called, and Mr. Ghislin was one of them. He said he had part of the articles sup plied by Mr. Moore and they were detained by his landlord for his board and lo lging. Mr. Commissioner Mhy considered that Mr Moore had supplied the goods as Murphy considered that Mr Moore had supplied the goods as toek in trade to the.insolvent, and looked to the success of the en ertainment to be paid. From the insolvent's examina tion it appeared that he had £5OO of Miss East, who had preferred a criminal charge against him at the Old Bailey. lie had paid her £lOO down, and gave a warrant of attorney for £4OO, payable at ,£2a a year. He had a gift of £5O a year from his wife. Ha had £l5O a-year from her, but had two sons, ono of wherry was dead. His other sun would come into a good deal of property. The money he had from Miss East was lost in a French invention. Mr. Commissioner Murphy several times intimated that there was no case on the part of Mr. Moore, and finally decided against his opposition. Mr. Thomas Foulkes complained that he discounted a bill of £75, giving £6l on the statement of the insolvent that he had £l5O a year from his wife. lie received an order for £75, which was not paid. An attorney's clerk stated that the insolvent told him that be had a half-year's income due, and he rave him a note to Mr. Foulkes, which led to the advance. The insolvent denied that he said he had an income settled on 'aim of £l5O a year. He had a half-year's payment due at the time he gave the order. Mr. Commissioner Murphy' was of opinion that the insolvent was not justified in getting the money from Mr. Foulkes. Mr. Sitnmonds, the other opposing creditor, proved that in a patent the insolvent had used a description omitted from his .schedule, Mr. Com missioner Murphy held that the case must be adjourned for the insolvent to amend his description and re-advertise. lie should advise hm in the interim to settle with Mr. Foulkes, as he considered a case of fraud had been proved by that creditor. the case would come before him in September. The insolvent asked if he might be allowed to remain on bail ? The learned Commissioner said it would probably facilitate an arrangement with Mr. Foulkes. lle should require the bail to assent to his remaining at large. One of the bail being present, expressed his willingness to let the insolvent remain at liberty. Mr. Commissioner Murphy had no objection. The opposition of Mr. Simmonds would remain open, but he wished the insolvent distinctly to understand that if be did not settle with Mr. Foulkes he would receive a judgment. The ease was adjourned to the 19th of September, and bail enlarged, AN INNOCENT ,MAN CONVECTED.—It will be recollected that some time since a man named Jackson was committed from this (Chelmsford) bench on the charge of breaking into a shoemaker's shop at Writtle, more than a year ago, and stealing nine pairs of boots from Mr. Saltwell, for whom he had before worked. The evidence appeared very conclusive. The policeman who stopped the thief with the boots in his possession, in Writtle, on the night soon after the robbery had been committed, but from whom ho escaped, swore very positively to him. The prisoner, how ever, asserted that he was at wor k in Buckinghamshire at the time; this he repeated at his trial at the recent assizes, but he was convicted. Superintendent Raison, however, felt it his duty to communicate to the court a letter he had received tending to confirm the prisone.' story, and Lord Chief Justice Pollock postponed th tence, in order that enquiry might be made. the solicitor for the prosecution, had caused an invest._ tion to be made, and the conclusion come to was that the prisoner was innocent. Affidavits were laid before tho bench for signature, in order to be forwarded to the authorities. One of them was from Mr. Woo Hard, a boot and shoemaker at Stony Stratford, in Buckinghamshire, who stated that from June to'September, 1855, the pri sonor was in his service, working for him, and that dur ing that period he was never absent for a whole day. As Stony Stratford is 84 miles from Ch e l msford, and the robbery was committed on the 9th of August, it was clear the prisoner was not the thief. It is right, however, to state that Jackson was apprehended at Galleywood common on another charge, and that when he was taker' to the station the superintendent suspecte d , f rom t he description which had been given to him more than a year ago, that prisoner was the man who escaped, and left the boots behind ; there must, therefore, have been a strong resemblance between the prisoner and the real thief'. As the prisoner has been convicted, the form of a free pardon will be necessary, which will probably be granted on these affidavits, and he will be:liberated.—Essex Herald.

That something must be done for the relief of those wretched nations who complain so loudly of their sufferings, cannot be denied ; and the only question is, is that something to be carried out?
