able to keep up the annual premium, is
obviated. An option will be allowed to every
person of withdrawing the sum which the policy is
then worth, or ceasing to pay any further premiums,
and having the equivalent value secured at death.
The benefits thus conferred may be best estimated
from the fact that without such a proviso the policy
might lapse, and all previous payments become for-
feited to the society. In addition, there is
every other advantage offered by other com-
panies. " The policies are not void by suicide." Dig.

be indisputable, for the grounds on which the
liability could be litigated will not be inserted
in the policy, and will, therefore, not
be regarded as a warranty by the assured, a failure
of which would render void the obligation on the part
of the company. The secretary and actuary de-
serves much credit for the manner in which he has
got up the concern, for it is on that officer that
the responsibility mainly
falls, and Mr. C. W.
BEVAN has proved himself an acquisition to any com-
pany. We doubt, then, if any of the old companies
could offer greater inducements to new customers
than may be obtained from modern companies, and
few offer so favourable a combination as THE DE-
POSIT AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The PRINCE PRESIDENT reached Marseilles from
Avignon at five o'clock, on the 26th instant. When
he arrived at the Porte d'Aix he received from the
hands of the mayor the keys of the town. The en-
thusiasm was at its highest point, when the PRINCE
got on horseback, and went through the Rue d'Aix
and the Cours, in the midst of a concourse of up-
wards of 100,000 inhabitants. Everywhere were to
be seen corps of workmen with their banners and de-
putationsof journeymen. The windows were every-
where dressed out. Upwards of 600 persons of note
awaited the PRINCE at the Prefecture, and foremost
amongst them were two envoys of the POPE and the
King of NAPLES, charged to carry to the PRINCE at
Marseilles the felicitations of their respective So-
vereigns. The Count DE ST. MARSAN, archbishop
in partibus, formerly nuncio at different courts, was
the representative of the Roman Court, and General
RORERTI, aide-de -camp of the King of NAPLES.
At half-past six, a dinner of eighty covers was
given by the PRINCE at the Prefecture, whilst ladies
of every class of society circulated round the table of
the PRINCE. At nine o'clock the PRINCE proceeded
to the theatre, where his arrival was greeted with en-
thusiastic transports. There, as in the streets, shouts
of " Vive l'Empereur !" were universally raised. At
eleven o'clock he returned to the Prefecture in the
midst of similar cries from an immense crowd.

The municipal council of Dijon have adopted a re-
solution expressive of their wish that the Senate
should confer, within the shortest possible delay, the
hereditary imperial power on Prince Louis NAPO-
LEON. Addresses of a similar tendency have been
also presented within the last day or two by the au-
thorities and inhabitants of Septeme, Hevrieux, Cha-
vagnieux, St. Clair, La Chapelle, and Verniog, in the
Isere ; and Argeles, in the Hautes-Pyrenees.
The Aloniteur Algerien of the 20th publishes a
fresh list of commutations of punishments granted to
the transported prisoners of 1852 by the PRINCE
PRESIDENT since the Ist inst. They include 1 from
the Hautes Alpes, 9 from the Aveyron, 72 from the
Drome, 3 from the Herault, 1 from the Vaucluse,
and 34 from the Loiret.

The Moniteur de Armee says—" It has been re-
ported that the conspiracy against the life of the
PRESIDENT was hatched at Toulon, where the machine
is said to have been constructed. It was calculated
to make 800 victims. According to the same ver-
sion, arrests are said to have been made simulta-
neously at Marseilles and at Toulon, and it is added
that the authors of the plot form part of a secret so-
ciety called the Vengeurs."
The Observateur Beige was distributed by the
Post-office on Sunday, after being interdicted en-
trance into France during several months.
Great activity prevails at present in the different
Ministries, and the chief functionaries are engaged i
preparing Bills for the next session of the Legislative
body.
The Prefect of the Seine and the Municipal Coun-
cil intend, says the Union, to give the PRINCE PRE-
SIDENT on his return to Paris a reception of such
pomp as even to surpass that of the departments.
By a recent decision of the Fame PRESIDENT
certain modifications are made in the allowances and
pay of generals, colonels, and other officers. On en-
tering on a campaign a general of division is to re-
ceive an allowance of 6,000 f.; a general of brigade
4,0001.; and a commissary-general 4,000 f. The pay
of a colonel of infantry in active service is to be 5,500 f.
a year, and of cavalry 6,000 f.
There is a long article in the Debats on the Uni-
versal Exhibitions cf Industry, announced for 1853
in Ireland and New York. The Debuts regrets that
these exhibitions should be simultaneous, as this cir-
cumstance must, it thinks, be injurious to both; and
it is, besides, of opinion that neither of them is abso-
lutely necessary, so soon after the Great Exhibition
of London. It is not be supposed, says the Debats,
that in so short a period industry can have made
such progress as to render other public exhibitions
necessary.
The Journal du Hcivre says—" We think we may
announce that an influential company is now being
formed at Paris for the purpose of proposing to the
Government the establishment of a line of steamers
between Havre and Rio Janeiro. This company has
among its subscribers almost all the firms which have
commercial relations with the Brazils. It is proposed
that these vessels shall run every month between
Havre, Lisbon, Madeira, Goree, Pernambuco and
Bahia, and be united at Rio to a line which will run
to the other adjoining ports for the transport of pas-
sengers and merchandise."
A letter from Chalon-sur-Saone, of the 25th, states
that the vintage had just commenced in the Cote'd'Or,
under very unfavourable auspices both as regards
quantity and quality.
The Bourse opened feebly, but it became:more firm
towards the close of business. The Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. opened at 104 f. 20c., and closed at 104 f. 30c.
for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed
at 77f. 90c.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,490 f.; Rouen,
3951.; Havre, 4161. 25c.; Great Northern, 711 f. 25c.;
Avignon, 525 f.; Basle, 326 f. 25e.; Paris and Strasburg,
746 t. 25c.; Paris and Lyons, 815 f.; Lyons and Avignon,
625 f.; Western of France, 6551.; St. Dizier to Gray,
5451.

burgesses of the Christian religion are alone to be
allowed to vote in October, for the renewal of the
Legislative Body."
The Prussian Government has adjourned indefi-
nitely the opening of the Provincial States of Posen,
several of the members having declared that they
would not attend on account of the cholera.
It is stated in a Vienna letter of the 20th, in the
Let:psie Gazette, that the Austrian Government in-
tends to grant an extensive amnesty to political
offenders in December. It will, it is said, comprise
the prisoners in Bohemia and the students who took
part in the disturbances of May.
The Austrian journals state that the importation of
English iron and steel is rapidly increasing in Aus-
tria, especially in Bohemia. The duty on those arti-
cles is less when imported by land than when sent by
the ports of the Adriatic.
