EXAMPLE.—At the commencement of the year 1841 a person aged
thirty took out a Policy for 1,0001., the Annual Payment for which
is 241. Is. Bd.; in 1847 he had paid in Premiums 1681. its. Sd. ; but
the profits being 2 per cent. per annum on the sum insured (which
is 221. 10s. per annum for each 1,0001.), he had 1571. 10s. added to the
Policy, almost as much as the Premiums paid.
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first live years when the In-
surance is for Life.
Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident
Director.

THE SCOTTISH' AUSTRALIAN INVEST-
MENT COMPANY.—At a MEETING of the Directors, held
in Aberdeen, on Friday, the 27th of May, 1853, it having been re-
solved, from the changed position and extending character of the
Company's affairs, and in accordance with the recognised wishes of
the partners, that it would be expedient to introduce into the Board
of Directors a portion of the most influential shareholders resident
in London, comprising gentlemen of high standing and influence,
and conversant with the mining and mercantile interests ofthe colony,
and so qualified to assist most materially is developing the proper-
ties of the Company, the Directors had deemed it right to create six
vacancies among their number to meet the wishes of the proprietary
in this respect. In order to effect an arrangement so much to be
desired, a deputation of the Directors had recently met a large body
of the London Partners, and had ultimately left it in their hands to
suggest the names of six gentlemen to be introduced into the manage-
ment, and so to form a branch of the Board of Directors in London,
who will be at all times ready to give effect to the views of the Board
in any matters that may be more advantageously managed there
than in Aberdeen. The selection has been made, and the Directors

La Plata experienced strong easterly winds, with
a heavy, confused sea, during the first portion of
her passage, but fine light winds subsequently.
She brings 193 passengers, among whom are Go-
vernor Barkly and the Bishop of British Guiana,
from Demerara ; General Arista, ex-President of
Mexico, and suite, from Vera Cruz ; Admiral
Blanco, Charge d'Affaires of Chili to France, &c.
This steamer brings on freight, gold, value
$424,000, silver in bars, value s7lo,ooo—the total
value being $1,139,194, or say 228,0001. sterling,
of which $27,526 is for account of the Mexican divi-
d.ends ; the freight list also comprises 250 serous
cochineal, 29 tierces coffee, 103 cases cigars, 204
bales tobacco 3 live turtle, 91 bales sarsaparilla,
168 bales indigo, 254 bales bark, and 96 sundries.
La Plata has arrived at Southampton two days
before her mails are due at the General Post-office,
although she left St. Thomas a little behind time,
the detention being caused, as is usually the case,
by the unpunctuality of the branch steamers. It
appears that the Avon, which has recently been
lengthened and fitted with new boilers, for the,
purpose of occupying the station between St..
Thomas and the Gulf of Mexico, does not quite
answer the expectations entertained as to speedy a
difficulty in generating sufficient steam for the
boilers being experienced. It is of the greatest im-
portance that the branch routesshould be performed
with regularity and efficiency, otherwise the trans-
atlantic packets are constantly detained at St.
Thomas, and thus the whole scheme is deranged.
We hope that the Avon will, therefore, be found
fast enough 'to perform the particular service to
which she is appointed, or that some other vessel
will be placed there capable of traversing the dis-
tancesufficientw time to
of theoprev aiemnttn line

being delayed. In the present instance thepekts
advan-
tagee to the public of employing such vessels as La
Plata is clearly apparent. Her arrival on the 30th
of the month gives the commercial world two days
to reply to their correspondence by the outward
packet of the 2d June ; thus, in respect to the West
Indies and Pacific, a fortnight is saved, and in re-
gard to the Gulf of Mexico, to which a mail is dis-
patched only once a month, a whole month's time is
economised. Any other of the company's ships
would have reached Southampton just too late to
afford these facilities.

-This was agreed to by the House of Assembly on
the 4th of May, and the house then asked the Go-
vernor for a recess. This, however, he refused to
grant • the house then adjourned itself until the
13th of May, but subsequently the Governor issued
his proclamation proroguing the Assembly until the
lith. The house, feeling itself supported by the
almost entire voice of the public, are not likely to
give way ; they claim the right of appropriating,
the money of their constituents as they deem pro-
per, but the Council obstinately persist in reject-
ing all money bills containing appropriation clauses.
The house did not appropriate any of the revenue
until the Council had rejected a bill contemplating
a reduction in the general expenditure of the colony,
which bill contemplated taking off 20 per cent.
from all salaries paid out of the public Treasury.
The Council supported their position, on the
ground that the salaries were secured to the several
parties by permanent laws, which gave such parties
a " vested right" in their incomes. The Hon. R.
C. Burke—a-landed proprietor, just made a mem-
ber of the Board of Council—entered a well-written
protest against the proceedings of his colleagues ;
stated that the general distress which pervaded all
classes and all interests, fully justified the reduc-
tion of the expenditure • and further, he urged
that money now had attained a higher value than
when the salaries of the officials were fixed, and
Consequently they ought to bend to the general
distress that prevaijed the,4ll._ Mr.
fluke, hoviiiver, stood alone.
The press, with perhaps the exception of the
Morning Journal, whose editor is a member of
the Council, were supporting the Assembly. What
Would be the termination of this question was a
matter of doubt,—perhaps a dissolution of the
Assembly.
The yellow fever was prevailing in Kingston.
Among its victims we notice with regret the name
of Mr. William Junor, manager of the Colonial
Bank. A " general mania," as the newspapers
call it, prevailed in Kingston on the subject of
copper mining. In several localities fine samples
of ore had been found. The Journal and Standard
notice some most promising indications found on
the property of Mr. Isaac Silvers Mocco," in the
parish of St. George. Good samples had also been
taken from Mount Salus, in St. Andrew, and from
other places. The weather was extremely warm.
On the north side of the island there were strong
indications of the approach of the usual May
season.

From British Guiana our accounts extend to the
11th inst. Genial rains had fallen in great abund-
ance, just in time to save from ruin a large pro-
portion of the cane crop, which a continuance of
dry weather would have lost to this year's exports.
The weather had become excessively hot. Trade
was dull. The new tax ordinance had been pro-
mulgated. The yellow fever had disappeared, but
smallpox in a mild form still continued. During
the absence of Governor Barkly, who has come
home by this packet on a short leave of absence,
the reins of Government have been assumed by the
lion. William Walker, the Government Secretary.
who had been sworn in as Lieutenant-Governor.
Prior to the departure of Mr. Barkly a levee was
held, which was attended by all the principal in-
habitants of the colony desirous of exhibiting their
respect and esteem for this gentleman, whose
administration of the Governorship is thus described
:in the Demerara Royal Gazette :
" The public demonstrations of every kind which have
been made on this occasion show the estimation in which
31r. Barkly is held, both as a public man and in private
life. He has administered the affairs of the colony with
a degree of tact and skill, with a courtesy, and at the
same time with a firmness, that have made his diplo-
matic ability the subject of unreserved admiration. He
has managed to put an end to the rancorous party spirit
which, previous to his arrival, embittered the lives and
disgraced the debates among us ; he has utterly extin-
guished that feeling of hostility to the Home Government
which used to cause us to look upon every representa-
tive of her Majesty as a common enemy.
"These may be looked upon as benefits of the passive
sort ; the labours of the Governor have, however, as-
warned otherwise an active character. On his Excel-
lency's arrival here he found, notwithstanding the efforts
of his predecessors, the educational interests of the
country at an excessively low ebb in regard to efficiency.
The incessant endeavour to remedy this has so far met
its reward, that the subject is now attracting the most
marked public attention, and each succeeding Combined
Court, getting more sensible of its importance, get more
anxious. to assist the executive in improving the ma-
chmery. _• _ _ • _ _

"Diiring Mr. Barkley's short rule justice has been
brought at a cheap rate to every man's door. Its ad-
ministration has also been improved. The establish-
ment of courts equivalent to the county courts of Eng-
land, presided over by a Judge of the Supreme Court,
and serving as a Court of Appeal, was a novelty which
has answered every purpose of its creation. It has ma-
terially lessened crime by the great power of punish-
ment bestowed upon it, and it has given a confidence to
the labouring population in the prompt and efficient ad-
ministration of the law.

" The restoration of the public credit, sadly shaken at
the time of Mr. Barkly's arrival, was a subject that early
engaged his attention. The ruin of so many sugar estates,
in the short period that intervened after the passing of the
ugar Act of 1846, made this probably the most difficult
portion of his Excellency's mission. He had to reconcile
the planter to a policy which appeared specially aimed
at him ; he had to open his eyes to the fact that the
interests of a few individuals in a colony like this could
never weigh for a moment in the balance with a policy
which was to, and has since, benefitted the millions who
sit all over the world under the British flag ; he had to
convince him that he had too long been trusting to a
crutch in place of his own legs, to awaken his dormant
energies, to show him that there was no want of vitality
aithe country, if he would only stretch out his hand
d help himself. That the policy has been perfectly
successful we have now abundant evidence, in restored
credit and in the activity of the estates. The cultivation
of the colony is pushed, with the determination that it
shall be successful ; we have shaken hands and bidden
good bye to the extraneous aid which it is thought Pro-
tection has hitherto afforded us. We now only want
permission from the mother country to get immigrants
where we may get them cheapest and best, and we have
Roo doubt this point will be earnestly urged upon the
Home Government when the Governor reaches Eng-
land."

A large number of specimens of the products of
the colony have been prepared by a committee and
sent to the Dublin Exhibition. Several specimens
have also been transmittekto the New York Crystal
Palace.
The Trinidad papers state that a preliminary
meeting of merchants and others, having for its
object the formation of a Chamber of Commerce,
was held on the 6th inst. at Port of Spain. In the
Legislative Council, on the 2d iist., a debate took
place upon the motion of the Hon. r. Rennie, for
effecting a constitutional change in the local govern-
ment of the colony, which was rejected by a con-
siderable majority. The Port of Spain, Gazette re-
cords the decease of Mr. J. R. Domville, the col-
lector of the Island. Mr. J. L. Wildman, private
secretary to the Governor, had been appointed to
the vacant post, and Mr. Henry Murray had been
named private secretary to the Governor.
The Trinidadian remarks :
"There is a great want of shipping, and unless two or
three large immigrant vessels from India arrive speedily,
freights, which are at present's high as 4/. sterling per
ton for sugar, will rise up to`§k• We know already of
an offer to pay 4/. ss. per ton for a let of 10 ton, which
was refused because every part of the vessel was pre-
viously engaged. To get a place for shipments is already
a ;natter of favour from consignees of vessels. We re-
quire at least 15,000 tons of shipping more than what
are at present in the Gulf of Paria, to carry away the
remainder of this year's crop."
From Barbadoes there is no news of importance.
The barque Candidate had arrived out in 23 days
from London. Writs were issued on the 3d inst.
for the election of members for a new House of
Assembly, which it was expected would be con-
vened on the 24th inst. for the dispatch of public
business. _ _ .

Her Majesty's ship Calypso was at St. Lucia.
The Megtera was running among the islands shift-

troops, which form two divisions of the army of
Paris, were formed of 4 brigades of infantry, 3
brigades of cavalry, and four batteries of artillery.
The division of infantry, under the orders of Gene-
ral de Bourgon, comprised the first brigade com-
manded by General Marulez, and composed of two
companies of engineers, of the sth battalion of foot
chasseurs, and of the 13th and 49th regiments of
the line ; the second brigade, commanded by Gen.
do Lourmel, aide-de-camp to the Emperor, and
composed of the 3d light infantry, and the 33d and
38th regiments of the line ; and the third brigade,
composed of the 22d and 53d regiments of the
line, commanded by Gen. Valsin d'Esterhazy.
The reserve brigade was formed of the Bth bat-
talion of foot chasseurs, and of the Ist and 2d
battalions of foot gendarmery. The division of
cavalry, under the orders of Gen. Korte, com-
prised three brigades : the first, commanded by
Gen. Partonneaux, and composed of the 4th regi-
ment of chasseurs, of the regiment of guides, and
of the 12th dragoons ; the second, composed of the
9th and 10th curassiers, under the orders of Gen.
d'Allonville ; and the third, commanded by Gen.
Ferey, and formed of two regiments of carbineers.
All -these troops were commanded by Marshal
Magnau, Commander-hi-Chief of the Army of
Paris. At twelve
_o'clock they had taken...niLposi,

line, and the cavalry behind the Infantry. At
one o'clock, the Emperor, in the uniform of
a general of division, arrived from St. Cloud
in the court of the palace of Versailles, and
immediately got on horseback to proceed to the

aides-de-camp, Prince Napoleon, Marshal de
St. Arnaud, Gen. Ougaret, aide-de-camp to the
Emperor of Russia, Gen. Count d'Hautpoul, Gen.
de Bourjolly, Gen. Daumas, and other general
officers. His Majesty, with his cortege, first passed
in front of the infantry, and then in front of the
cavalry, and afterwards placed himself on the ris-
ing ground in front of the camp of Satory, to wit-
ness the filing off. The Emperor had on his right
the Duke of Genoa, and on his left Prince Napo-
leon. The troops passed before the Emperor m
the following manner—first, the infantry in close
order, then the artillery, and, lastly, the cavalry,
by squadrons. After all the troops had passed,
the cavalry,' inaking a movement by platoons,
formed itself into line in front of the Emperor, and
then charged at full gallop until within a few
paces of his Majesty. In spite of the bad state of
the weather, this review was a magnificent one.
All the movements were executed with admirable
precision. The troops filed off to the cry of "Vive
l'Empereur !" At the moment when the Emperor
was retiring, the Empress, accompanied by Mar-
shal Vaillant and the Duchess de Bassano, arrived
in an open carriage. The crowd, on recognising
her Majesty, saluted her with cries of " Vive
l'lmperatrice I" All the regiments of cavalry ac-
companied their Majesties to the Place d'Armes of
Versailles, and, there again filed off before them,
with cries of "Vive l'Empereur ! Vive
trice !"

The Moniteur contains a report from Marshal de
St. Arnaud, Minister of War, recommending cer-
tain measures for the reorganisation of the Impe-
rial Military College, established at La Floche.
The report is followed by a long decree from the
Emperor to carry out the suggestions therein con-
tained.
