This Company has for its purpose the transaction of the
important and remunerative business of Fire Insurance,
and that only, to the exclusion of other branches of busi-
ness not unusually associated with it, under the same direc-
tion, and operating on one and the same capital. The
Directors are satisfied that the scope for the business of fire
insurance presented by this country and its dependencies,
is, as a commercial speculation, deserving of paramount
attention; and, the contract being one terminable annually,
the profits or loss arising determine in like manner, year by
year, and exhibit at once a company's financial position
and its resources.
W; ...e the partial remission of the fire insurance duty
now in the contemplation of Government, and applicable
only to the insurance of stock-in-trade, will afford a com-
paratively limited relief from the onersus oppression, the
Directors have resolved to allow upon payment for every
policy, and afterwards at each renewal, an immediate draw-
back, which, in many instances, will amount to a total ex •
tinction of the entire duty of three shillings per cent.
To the public at large, and to the greater proportion of the
manufacturing and mercantile community, this arrange-
ment will prove a highly acceptable advantage. The draw-
back allowed by a few of the, older offices by way of per
centage on premiums, at intervals of years, is of im-
portance only to those who are rated at premiums ranging
chiefly from one guinea per cent. upwards, and is partici-
pated in only by those who may have premiums to be re-
newed at the period of the making of these returns ; whereas
by the principle adopted by this Company, the owners of
the classes of risk of the more ordinary occurrence, are
they who will be the more substantially and at the same
time promptly benefited.
The concession to be thus made to the public will cere
tainly be the means not only of increasing in their respec-
tive amounts insurances now existing, but of multiplying
to a very large extent the number of insurance contracts in
this country and its colonial connections.
The insurable property in this kingdom alone, including
its enormous and increasing importations arising from the
wise interchange of tariffs, is believed to approximate to
£5,000,010,000, whereas 300,000,000 only is insured ;
thus leaving nearly three-fourths of the insurable amount
altogether unprotected from loss.
It would be difficult to find any class of investments which
has yielded such large profits as the shares of well-con-
ducted fire offices. The shares of the older offices have in-
creased in value immensely, being, in one case, at a pre-
mium of about 1,300, and in another of nearly 2,000 per
cent on the sums originally paid up. The increased value
of the shares of offices established within the last 20 years
tands at from 80 to 200 per cent.
8 It is under these circumstances, and considering the ime
mense field presented for operations to come, that the direc-
tors have taken advantage of so favourable an opportunity
to offer to the public the benefits of the principle of business
now adopted by them; and they have every reason to
believe that by its special feature and the public support
which that must necessarily invite the undertaking will
speedily be productive of the best moneiry results.
The executive will be entrusted to officers of tried experi-
ence in tbe business of fire insurance and the directors have
already matured arrangements for them imediate establish-
ment of five hundred agencies.
The directors desire to give the most unqualified assur-
ance to the public that nothing of the nature of frivolous
objections to a prompt and liberal settlement of claims for
compensa.
rion will ever be entertained or countenanced by
them.

MARINE DEPARTMENT.
Notwithstanding the recent establishment of several ma-
rine insurance companies, and the extensive business they
have acquired, there is ample rcom for the safe and profitable
employment of capital in this direction. The vast increase in
the shipping interest of the United Kingdom, together with
the growing feeling in favour of the security afforded by Joint
Stoax Companies as compared with private Underwriters,
point to the opening which exists for this department of the
Lompany's operations.
The services of an able and experienced Underwrlter will
be secured, and a large business can at once be obtained for
the Company.
The following statistics of a few"'
the present Marine In-
surance Companies show the r-
.esent value of the bhares of
successful nature of such
those Companies, and the 1::oily
business :

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

THE " SATURDAY REVIEW" ON SECRETARIES
AND THEIR SUBORDINATES.—The relation in which
the political chiefs and subordinates of departments
stand towards each other has always been anoma-
lous. It is understood that the subordinate has no
share in the deliberations of his chief, and can in no
degree affect the Im2:tru::=3 tekeu, if he lar.ppns to
diTer from that spite of this, it t 5 t,lSu
understood that he defends tlle acts of his chief in

the brarch of the Lzgislature in whicn he bits. This
Function in itself o hard enough. It is not pleasant
fur a man to have to prove that to be wise w:.ich he
himself ihinlis to he foolish, or to deliver a cidogiuo
upon a policy which in his own he.srt ho is exe-
crating. But this resignation of Mr. Lowe esta-
blishes a precedent which will add very serious'y to
the liabilities of the luckless subordinate. HQ most
now not only be advocate, but whipping-boy. If a
blunder is made in this officer, he must go out. His
chief, who has made the blunder, may remain in the
serene heights of the aristocratic empyrean, despis•
hag the convulsions which agitate the surface of
popular opinion or of representative assemblies.
ut the subordinate, whose share in the policy im-
pugned has at most been consultative, must suffer
for measures which have not proceeded from his
authority, and in which (as in the present case) he
may possibly not concur. Such a system has no
doubt its convenience. It combines the gratification
of parliamentary indignation with the permanence
of responsible officials. Under-Secretaries and Vice-
Presidents may be looked upon for the future as
a species of nine-pins, set up for the Opposition
to bowl down. If the Opposition carry a censure;
the Under-Secretary resigns. If they fail in it, ho
remains. It is a perfectly harmless pastime. It
amuses them, and it does not hurt the Cabinet.
The Ministers who are really responsible for what
has been done repose _ in undisturbed com-
..

placency upon the comfortable benches of the
House of Lords, and content themselves with pass-
ing from time to time a eulogium upon the subor-
dinate who has been bowled over. But there is no
change in Cabinet offices; for Cabinet Ministers
who are in the House of Lords are beings of too
exalted a nature to pay attention to votes of cen-
sure which a coarse p9puler essembly may pass.
It is only upon such a theory that the selection ot
Mr. Lowe to be the solitary victim can be justified.
The censure of the House of Commons was levelled
at the office, and therefore at its chief; and the im-
putation of having tampered, for political purposes,
with the information laid before Parliament, while
it has been fully removed from Mr. Lowe, rests in
undiminished weight upon Lord Granville's fame.
But Lord Granville, sitting in the House of Lords,
treats offences Eolemtly charged upon him in the
Journals of the House ot Commons as idle scolding.
He is the guardian of his own reputation, There
is no doubt that the doctrine of vicarious resigna-
tion which he is now introducing has its con-
veniences.. It is a marvello❑s device for rezoned-

ing the official tenacity of a censured Minibter
with the doctrine of Parliamentary responsibility.

THE " EXAMINER" ON THE PROBABLE RESULT
OF THE DANO-GERMAN WAR.-011 Wednesday
the representatives of ail the Powers, parties to the
Treaty of 1852, met by appointment at Dawning-
street, the Envoy chosen by the Federal Diet alone
being absent. 'Whereupon, the representatives of
Prussia and Austria refusing to act, a resolution
was taken to adjourn till Monday next. Should
Baron von Beast choose to assert the dignity of
his clients still further, by again omitting to ap-
pear, we should not be at all surprised if a new
pretext were devised for delay in commencing de-
liberations. Europe has stupidly looked on for
foar months, during which the occupation and
conquest of the Duchies has been completed by
overwhelming force. Herr von Bismark now de-
clares, in a circular despatch addressed to the repre-
sentatives of Prussia at foreign Courts, and
estentationey published the day after the fall of
Dybbol, that Prussia considers the Treaty of 1352
as absolutely at au end ; and that its terms are
wholly inadmissible as the groundwork of future
negotiations. There was only wanting this last
touch to complete the story of insolent and perfidious
aggression. Before crossing the Eider, end long
after its frontier banks had been passetd by the
invaders, Austria and Prussia vehemently asserted
that all they wanted was to enforce tho terms of that.
European compact. There were some of us who
diabelievod these assurances, and who said re at the
time. Diplomacy put on its spectacles and conned
over and over again the terms of these assurances,
in which, with its usual sagacity, it professed to be
much comforted. Well, where are these pledges
a,w ? Unhappy Denmark herself does not any
longer think them worth insisting on. She has
naturally lost all faith in promises and moral
guarantees and so forth. Her hurt is still right
within her, and she clings with tridytng con-
stancy to the eventual vindication of right and
justice. But she has been maimed and broken so
terribly by overwhelming might, and she feels her-
self to have been so deserted by those who might,

if they would, have served her without etriking
blow, that it is no marvel if she looks without hope
or trust to the results of diplomatic cogitations.
Her eyes aro fixed elsewhere, and on the day when
a new map of Dano-German frontiers shall be
settled and initisllcd by the Great Powers, as a '
peaceful aejustment of the present difficulty, the
beginning will have been made of that national
movement which holds out the only real hope of
compensation to the Danes for their loss of territory
on the Eider. Sooner or later the various reglona
peopled by the Scandinavian race were certain to be
united under one Government; and from the
nature of the case that government must be one
essentially. popular.,":The believers in the theory
of dynasties as opposed to that of nationalities,
ought to have striven to preserve the severalty of
Denmark as an ancient kingdom. But blindneEs
has fallen upon them ; and looking at the course of
recent events, and the darkness of the future, we
own that we see no probability of their being able
to retrieve their signal error.
THE " SPECTATOR" ON IMPERTINENCE AS A
PARLIAMENTARY WEAPiN.— 01 repi ilaXpeprov,
the knot of young men of forty or thereabouts whom
Lord Palmerston, in default of a following, puts
into office and protects as if they belonged to him,
have amidst many differences one quality in com-
mon. They all know the value of insolence as a
weapon in political warfare—all affect, even when
personally simple people, the hauteur which lies very
near the root o the character of their chief. Ail
entertain the conviction that the ability to snub
can be made a social breastplate, and that an off-
hand address compounded of quickness and imper-
tinence suggests in its victims a sense of reserved
power abiding in the assailant. When the house
sneers at Mr. Layard, he tells members to answer
instead of interrupting him, and keep silence till be
has done. When an inconvenient question is asked
of Mr. Cowper, he taunts the house with its inabi-
lity to control expenditure, or build anything which
is not ugly, and bids his opponents to let him alone,
for the department will go on a great deal better
unassisted than if they persist in interfering. Mr.
Lowe's regular practice when assailed was to de-
enribe his assailant as a rather unscrupulous fool,
leading a knot of persons who either knew nothing
about the matter or had a sinister motive in press-
ing their own view. There is no doubt a certain
effectiveness in this style, as well as a certain justi-
fication for employing it. Englishmen of the better
class when excited are often brusque, and political
impertinence, particularly if clever impertinence,
usually suggests at once courage and frankness,
and earnestness in the matter under discussion. It

implies, too, when used by an official, special know-
t-dge, the existence of a quantity of facts with which ,
ti`h-f3 spew.aL-er familiar, which are essential to the
—hich his opponent knows nothing
question, and -d Palmerston almost always
whatever about. L(r, • •
Nni .ence—a weapon
r. Cobden's i the basis of his 11...7"..ti
ha uses with real shill—talus of
ig-
norance of " politics," or refuses to UP his in-
formants, because if he did "he should se.' know
as little of the matter in hand as the hononi:ble,
member." The average English mind, too—ann
the mind of. the collective House of Commons is
simply the average English mind a little puffed with
prosperity—does not easily distinguish between wit
and impertinence, has, indeed, invented a word—
"chaff," which is peculiar to itself, and which ex-
press,.s the perfect combination of the two. The fu
pope always strikes a cabman or the gallery of the
Victoria as witty, and so it does the House of Com-
mons, which receives Mr, Oborne's admiration a
Mr. La.} and "in his new capacity is an advocate for
common decency" with roars of hearty laughter.
The victim, too, is very apt, unless a very ready as
Null as a very strong man, to quail and feel himself
beaten, at all events for the time. Most men are
cowards when isolated, and the laughter
around—laughter at the victim as well as the
joke—inspires a sense of isolation. We re-
member one almost perfect instance of this
confusion. Mr. Darby Griffith, with his usual in-
quisitiveness, one night asked the Foreign Secretary
if it were true, as the newspapers said, that Victor
Emmanuel had crossed his frontier for an interview
with the Emperor. Lord John Russell, lyithout
