A peasant has found in a field near Vittoria, a
very valuable diamond : there is every reason to be-
lieve that it belonged to Joseph Iluonaparte, who
lost all the riches and valuable effeas which be was
carrying away,-in consequence of the total defeat of
the French army near that city. We may observe
here, that the Prince of Orange was present at that
memorable battle, which led to the deliverance of
Spain. The value of .the diamond is stated to be
400,000 reels (above 100,000 francs).
Insuring of 011 A life is now become so at nerai a
mode of securing a provision for a sun iving family, that
the stability of offices which are set op for the purpose,
becomes au interesting -question of pulite concerii.—.
ft is more particularly so, because Life Insurance affords
adventurers tuo ready means to ti.ist i-moon-I schemes on
the public. At first, and for several years, Life 011 ices
have little to do but to accumulate deposits: the nix?.
,nerds are only to be made to posterity. The fun's there-
fore, aaaa st for some years appear flourishing, a I hough the
deposits may be wholly inadequate to carry the engage-
ments through. Now, as several of the established
societies have done all that can be effected by experience,
talent, and good management, to ruder these asq)ciations
beneficial tis the public, the projectors of new offices,
have no chance of drawing persons m them, but by
offering successive reductions iu thedeposits. Sp, cious but
delutive representations second the inclination which
many have to rush to the. cheapest place, and they
blindly commit thc savings they make fur their survi-
vors to untried schemes, without reflecting, that if the
schemes fail, their wires and orphans will be the !men,
not the projectors, who, so long as things hold together,
derive profitable employments at any rate —Dr. Price
said of lie Life Society projectors in his day, " That
they believe that the schemes they are sopporting will last
their time, and they will be pities; and as to the
injury that may be done to their sIIC.:CSSUrs or to others,
is is at a distance, and they care little about id—ft-cent
disclosures which have been niade public of the athirs
of one I nurance Society until then popular,
pot Ile: public again on ;Asir ktiard. That the littf•ine•es

represent, is es idetit from the fact, 'that upon the old
