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. I Is. 8d..; 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 five years when the In-
surance is for Life.

Every information will bo afforded on application to the Residen'

THE FRENCH EiNIPIRE.

We have received the Paris jOurnals of yesterday,
but although they all contain very long leading
articles there is little, in them that would be found
interesting to the English reader.
. The Constitutionnel attacks the Debats for having
spoken favourably of a publication by M. Dollfus,
one of the leading men in manufactures in Alsace,
in which he recommends the removal of the pro-
hibition to import cotton thread and manufactured
cottons from foreign countries. The Constita-
Venue/ asserts that, notwithstanding the progress
that this branch of industry has made in Alsace,
it is not yet in a condition to support competition,
and must have protection to ensure its prosperity.
This journal states, in Alsace, the great majority
of the manufacturers differ from M. Dollfus, and,
therefore, it infers that he must necessarily be in
error. This mode of reasoning, ho wever, is by no
means conclusive. Manufacturers who have car-
ried on their operation under the protectionist
system, are never the first to call' for competition..
Most of them are men who do not see far beyond
their. own looms, and from habit they have a na-
tural dread of innovation. Even in England,
where men .engaged in manufactures have more
enlarged views than in Most/other countries, the ,
protectionist system would be still 'flourishing, if
the government and legislature had waited for
petitions from them for the abandonment of that
system.

Extensive preparations are making for the Im-
perial coronation, which will take place on the
10th of May. The Cathedral of Notre Dame
will .be in the hands of the architects after Easter
Sunday.
_

Several cases of cholera have again made their
appearance in Paris.

- Count Turgot is, it is said, nominated Ambassa
dor of France at Madrid.

Eleven persons who had been arrested for eir-
eulating false news have been sent before the Tri-

bunal of Correctional Police.

The Legislative Body voted yesterday some bills
respecting the purchase of preference shares in the
canals, the calling out of 80,000 conscripts, and the
postal correspondence between France and her
western colonies.
All these votes were unanimous.

The President then announced that the Budget
of 1854 should be presented on Wednesday or
Thursday.
The Bourse yesterday was very dull, business
inactive, and prices depressed. The Three per
Cent. Rentes closed 30c. lower than on Saturday,
the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 50c., and Bank
Stock sf. less than on that day. The following
were the last rates called :—Three per Cents., for
the account, 80f. 80c. ; Four-and-a-Half per Cents.,
ditto, 10,f. 70c. ; Bank Stock, both • cash and
account, 2,745 f.
