THE VALUE OF LOUIS NAPOLEON'S LlFE.—Very re-
cently proposals for a very large amount of assurance on
the life of Napoleon 111., and on terms in advance of
those charged for ordinary lives, have been made to some
*of the London Assurance Companies. We are informed
that none of the proposals have been entertained, not-
withstanding the friends of the Emperor, strangely
enough, offered rates only charged in cases where the
lives of parties are diseased, and whose longevity cannot,
in consequence, reach the ordinary period of a healthy
human existence, which circumstance would seem to in-
dicate that they, at least, are apprehensive that the life
of their friend is but of small pecuniary value ; whether
from defective health, the pursuits of the Prince, or from
the pregnant danger and cares of the newly-founded
Empire, it is not easy to determine. The fact that the
London Assurance offices have declined to assure the
life of Napoleon the Third, even at exorbitant rates, only
charged for dying men, is strangely significant of the
small commercial value of the Emperor's life.
