This Company is formed on principles combining every degree
of security, with advantage" superior to any previonsle offered to
the Public. it cousins of a number of Proprietors, who are re.
quitted to assure on their own lives, or on those of approved no.
minces. scree proportionate to their respective Awes; on Ciery
transfer of which a new insurance is required to be effected. This
system, by the perpetual renovation of policies, scams the sta-
bility and growing prosperity of thi Company, and is productive
of great bandit to the assured, who participate in the profits aria.
log from this regulation, without being responsible for the engage.
MVO of the Company, which are secured by a large subscribed
capital.
la the year 1819, when the Etuopean Company was formed, the
Director* caused ratss of inaurance to be calculated from the amal-
gamate Life Tables of all-Europe, which produced results lower
than the rates of any Company then established, and which will
still found lower than any of the tables of Companies more re•
eently timed, which admit the insured to a participation in the
profits : an.l this difference is so considerable as to he in the nature
of so annual bonus to the assured. _ - _ .

SECIIETAIIY.-Mr. 'Michael Seward.
The distinguishing feature of this Society is a lower Rate of
hanium than any hitherto offered to the Public, but which the
clPorieuce of the Oldest Assurance Societies, and the recent and
tune accurate returns of the population, compared with the best
taotea of mortality, prove to be ample to afford perfect security to
the Assured, and fair, but moderate. remuneration to a well.con.
ituted Society, whose expenses are limited ; a point to which the
Directors of the PROMOTER have so particularly directed their
attention, that the smallness of the expenses of this Office, com-
pared with any similar Establishment, is shine nearly sufficient to
account for the difference in the rate of Pretnium.

Pastis..l . t y 21.—Amongst the cases fur trial at the ensuing
AC3iZetS of the lihone, the following is the most remarkable. On
the morning of the 3d of May last, some of the inhabitants of St.
Amour went to eat furze upon the mountain of Ceuves. On era.
vetting the path that leads from la Orange du Dols to Hemoisson,
they found a cane lying upon the ground, and not far from it tome
drops of .blood. On following the truces of blood for about thirty
paces from the path, they di'cevered the body of a man mom hoe.
ribly mutilated. The head was almost beat to Memo, and the
reek, ants, and sides ernered with wound*, apparentlyinfileted
with a spade or shovel. Information was immettimely given to the
Mayor, who repaired to the spot. The body was recognized to be
that of a woodranger named Larfara. In his pocket was foni.d an
information dessert up against a young min named Jean Dailiie, an
inhabitant of Centres, fur having allowed his cattle to trespass neon
the. grounds of j,arfara's employer. There wan also found in di!
woo 1 the heriole of an iton shovel stained with blood, and one or
the extremities covered with clotted Wised and hair. This shovel
I•emilc w; s resod:deed by several of his neighbours to have be.
tented to Jean Millis, who was in consequence arrested. Shortly
after his arrest.he made the following confession, in the premise of
the Meter, gtnii-sl'arnma. &c.:—" It was I who murdered bar.
fare. I killed him by repeated blows of aehovel. At the firm
blow I gave him he said to me, • Dahlia, do not kill me ; I will not
give in the ii.tbruntion of t-eepsss against you ;" but I continued
to strike him till he ceased to move. This is the truth. I know
that I am a lost man. The shovel handle found in the wood be.
longs to me. On seeing two men cooling in the direction of the
place where we were, 1 reslcubled my blows, fearing that they
might hear Larfara pronounce my name. After having killed him,
I threw away the handle, and concealed the iron shovel on my -
son. I then drew the body by the feet out of the path to the p ace
ter
where It was fem& . I retorted hewn t'!the late iffy I' all
come, having taken oft' my shoes that I might run the quicker. On
arcing my wife, who had coins to meet me, I said to her,' Don't
go any farther—it is done. 1 have killed him. You may return
home.' She replied, • You are an unfortunate man.' All that
troubles me for having killed Lariats is, that prchably his con-
' science was charged 'Wartime and I fear he had not been lately at
confession." In the course of we examination he frequently re.
curred, with great apparent remorse, to the idea of his victim
having died in a state of sin and impenitence, exclaimiog, " Oh !
if he had had but the time to have repented ! Where can his poor
soul now be?" fv..e.
At the Atnizes of the Upperliaronne, Pierre Oendrau, carpenter.
and formerly a soldier, Was tried for murder, under the following
circumstances :—One evening, having partly stripped himself, he
was sitting on the banks of a river with his feet in the water, when
he was accosted by a man named La..nunie, with whom he had,
some years before, some slight altercation upon money matters.
Lassaunie, who was renowned in the country for his physical
strength, quitted two fishermen, with whom he was crossing the
bridge, anti came towards Oendrau, lasing in his hands one of
those leaping poles made use of in cro.sing narrow rivers. After
some words, a snuggle took place between Lamaunie add Oendrau,
in the course of which the latter wrested the pole from his adver-
sary—broke it in two, and struck him several blows with one of the
ends, and, in fine, put to flight him and his two companions, who
were waiting on the bridge. Though Laseaunie's wounds did not at
first appear dangerous, yet he died twenty-one days after receiving
them. The prisoner's counsel maintained that what Oendrau had
done WAS done in self-defence. He else, stated. that the report of '
the physicians who opened the body of the deceased, went to prove
that his death was not occasioned by the blows, but was owing to a
~rotligions augmentation of the liver, in consequence, it Is sup.
bowed, of a fall width the deceased had had some years ago.
The Jury, after a short deliberation, acquitted the prisoner, and he.
lame set at liberty.
At the Assizes now holding at Amiens, a man named Chretein
has been condemned to death on the following apparendy ineutfl-
pt proofs :—For • long time back a violent animosity existed
. ten Chretien and the woodranger of the Commune of Veer.
hretien had even been sentenced once to six months, and at another
Me to a year's imprisonment, fbt assaults upon the woodranger.
,On the 19th of April last, the woodranger was found murdered in
a wood through which he had to pass the evening before on his re-
turn home. His wounds appeared to have been indicted by a bill-
hook. Suspicion fell upon Chretien, a search was made in his
I house, but nothing was found tending to implicate him. 41e denied
at first having a bill-hook, but soon afterwards declared that he
had possessed an old one, but which lied been mislaid, and could
ait now be produced. Two days after the murder, a bill-hook
stained with blood, and haring some Mask and grey hairs stiekiug
to it, was found near the spot where the crime had been committed.
It was shown to the blacksmith who had sharpened Chretien's bill.
book, but he could not identify it as being the same. It was also
shown to other persons, but with a similar. result. In the moue
I time Chretien's family produced his bill-hook, which they said
bad been Nand under some faggot*. Chretien was on the point of
being discharged, when the blacksmith and another witness. who
bad in the first instance declared that they could not recognize the
bill-hook found in the wood to be that of Chretien now came for-
ward and stated that they were convinced It was the same. It also
appeared that Chretien's wife had at one time, but the time was not

as his. Under these presumptive proofs Chretten was brought to
trial. Two witnesses swore that at the hour when it was likely the
Murder was committed, they saw Chretien in his own house. The
prisoner's Counsel maintained that there was nothing upon which
to found a conviction—no trace, of blood had been found upon the
' person of Chretien—the witnesses as to the identity of the instru-
ment of murder could not now be credited, as their present dells.
Iration was contradicted by then former one—but that even sup-
posing that identity to be established, it did not follow necessarily
that Chretien had made use of it to commit the crime. These res.
'Mos, however, had no weight with the Jury. who, by a majority
