The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE, and INDISPUTABLE,
he Company being prohibited, by the 84th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis-
puting, a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables, a party to
assure for the first five years at _littliliaorztUalLple
and. 'lltiottippenthine. a Poltcy.st *teat;:mtc-If"tVe us sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER -II ll' POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the surlnvor Is benefited by retain-
Mg the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three mouths after proof of the death of
the assured life

A LETTER to the QUEEN on a Late
COURT-MARTIAL.
By SAMUEL WARREN, Esq., F.R.S., Barrister-at-Law.

" Camp Jumrood, April 13.
"We still lay encamped in the plain of Jumrood,
in
the vicinity of the Khyber Pass, the small fort of Jurn
room being a little in advance of us; and here we are now
likely to remain for a month at least, owing to the site
selected for a cantonment by a committee composed of
military and medical officers assembled for that purpose
being considered at present in an uninhabitable state.
The committee consisted of Brigadier-General Clmp-
bell as president, with Superintending-Surgeons Demp-
ster and Straker, Captain Goldie, of the Engineers, and
Captain Ramsay, Deputy Quartermaster-General, as
members. The substance of their report is said to
have been something like the following—not having
seen it. I do not vouch for the literal correctness of
what I send you The commlttee having assem-
bled and carefully examined the country in the neigh-
bourhood of Peshawur, are of opinion that a tract
of elevated land situated to the west of the l3alla
Hissar or fort of Peshawur' and extending in a south-
west direction from the old Seikh cantonment, will
be found to ba the most eligible site for a canton-
ment. Its centrical position, the command it possesses
of the surrounding country—more particularly of the
road to the Kh3 ber Pass—its vicinity to the fort and
city admitting of one portion of it being protected by the
guns of the former, without the inconvenience of too
close a proximity to the latter, with other advantages,
vz., a salubrious situation, firm soil, and abundance of

water, combine to recommend it to the Committee
ai the most favourable locality in the neighbourhood
of Peshawur.' The report then goes on to state that the
table land selected might be considered of too limited
an extent for a cantonment as it is usually planned in

the upper provinces of India, but as it would appear
essential for safety that the buildings should be
laid out in a compact form, and with regard to be-
i,Nify.saiilau-defeadeck the conifaittl4e did not anticipate,
any disadVantage to arise therefrom. We should have
removed to the new cantonment long ago had it not been
_ .

that on measuring the place selected- the Quartermaster-
General found that, owing to the ground being too limited
for an encampment, although sufficiently large for a can-
tonment, he would be obliged to pitch some of the tents
for the troops on a low swampy piece of ground, which
would not at all answer. The Sappers and Miners are

busy clearing away all the old ruins of houses, and stop-
ping up all watercourses, as no irrigation whatever is to
be allowed within a mile at least of the cantonment, for
fear of malaria arising. This was strongly recom-
mended in some notes appended by the medical
members of the committee above detailed. It is
said that Dr. Straker recommended that a per-
manent committee, composed of the senior surgeon
of the European troops, Bombay division, and the
senior surgeon of the native troops, Bengal division,
with two assistant-surgeons, one from each division,
under the superintending-surgeons should be ordered
for the purpose of bringing to the notice of the Briga-
dier from time to time anything they may deem neces-
sary for the health of the troops and prevention of disease.
This has been sanctioned by Brigadier l)undas until the
cantonments are reported habitable. Dr. Straker, in
accordance with this order, has been away at Pesha-
wur for the last three days on committee duty
daily, with the other medical men above mentioned.
It is thought the 31st Bengal Native Infantry
will be housed fur the summer .in General Avitabile's
Iscuse, the 60th Rifles in the Residency, and the Ist
Bombay Fusiliers in Sultan Mahomed's house. The
remainder of the force will stay in tents choppered over,
the artillery going into the fort. The troops are in
excellent health just now, and sickness appears to be
on the decrease. The average numt er last week
in the Bombay force amounted to 4.43 per cent.,
that in the Bengal division being 5.40, or nearly
1 per cent. more. The Bombayers at iSrst suff,red
largely from diarrheas, which was probably principally
owing to the re-action of the system occasioned after
the excitement of their late incessant marching, and
then on their arrival here leading a life of- idle-
ness. Exercise seems the most easy and certain
remedy for and preventive of this disease. We at
first on joining Sir W. Gilbert's camp here appre-
hended great molestation from. the Afreedees or
hill tribes, our encampment bring in rather close
proximity to the mountains, which rendered :Ara) ing
about to any little distance in that direction anything
but safe. Officers were prohibited riding further than
the fort of Jumrood, and were directed on all occasions of
doing so to be armed. Several murders and thefts of ca-
mels were committed, notwithstanding all the precaution-
ary measures adopted; three camel-men were on one oc-
casion killed, and on another the mountaineers were
walking off with 500 camels in open daylight. They
came down in such numbers that the small guard of
Sinde horsemen, who are always over the camels when
they go out to graze, deemed it unadvisable to attack
the maurauders, but one of them galloped into camp,
and informed Lieutenant Malcolm of the cir-
cumstance, when he, with a -.body of his men,
instantly started off in pursuit. I believe they had a
short but sharp contest with them, in which two of
the robbers kissed the dust, and a number were
wounded and captured. They succeeded in retaking all
the camels, and in addition brought in a large number of
their cattle. These Sinde horsemen are so deservedly
made and thought so much of that they eagerly plunge
into every danger with the greatest nonchalance, and ala
ways manage to come off, as they deserve, victorious. Re-
cently another murder was committed on a Naick belong-
ing to the baggage corps. Nine men have been appre-
hended on suspicion of being its perpetrators, and as it
was deemed illegal to try them by a military court, they
have been handed over to the civil power, and are at
present undergoing their trial. The other night a
man of the Fusiliers, on the outlying picket,
had occasion to leave his guard, and left his
imagined
he along with the others, as he
he would have no need of it. While going along
he noticed two men (natives) walking behind him at no
great distance, but as they were coming from the direc-
tion of the camp he took no further heed of them thinking
they must be camp followers. He had hardly sat down,
however, when the ruffians made for and attacked him
with swords. One of them inflicted a severe wound on the
poor fellow's arm, which he had raised to ward off a
blow aimed at his head. He would doubtless have been
murdered had his cries for assistance not been heard by
his coreredes in the guard tent, who ran to his rescue.
The robbers on seeing them approach, made off in the
direction of our own claire and effeeted their escape by
getting into our dooley -bearers' lines,
atter which no
trace of them could be discovered. This led to the be-
lief that the intended assassins were none
other than our own camp followers. Next
day, accordingly a circular was issued to the effect
that all the dooley-bearers in the division were to mus-
ter at tour o'clock P.M. at the field hospital, for the In-
spection of the Brigadier and superintending-surgeon.
It was arranged that as soon as the whole of them had
left their lines, each regiment was to post sentries
around their huts, and
on no account to permit
anything to pass out, while an officer and
a small party of men were to search them for
arms, &e., as every one of them had either one or mure
swords, while others had matchlocks, jinjalls, ezc. This
was accordingly done, and au immense number of arms
of all sorts were seized. In one way I pity the poor
followers if they are not allowed compensation fur the
weapons of which they have been deprived, as it is well
known they serape together every fraction they can to
procure for themselves some means of present defence and
future troph) ; while, on the other hand, it is well known,
though of course it cannot be proved, that camp fol-
lowers are in nine cases out of ten the perpetrators
of the murders and robberies laid at the door of
our enemies, not only in this campaign, but in every
one in which we ever have been engaged in India.
Many of your renders will remember the deeds of
blood committed by the followers of our army in
the first A ffghan campaign, and for which the
Affghans on all occasions wreaked the direst vengeance
on them, as witness the sight presented in the Bulan Pass,
where some hundreds of Bengal camp followers, chiefly
women, were found by the Bombay column on the side of
one of the mountains in a sort of cave literally hewn to
pieces. I do not mean to excuse the Bombay followers,
but those of a Bengal army are at least four times as
numerous generally as ours, and as they cannot all have
pay from Government, they turn their hands to any-
thing in the shape of plundering which holds out a
large chance of profit with a small probability of de-
tection. Besides this, there is no doubt they often
settle their private quarrels on the road by giving one
another an inch cr two of " cowld stale," knowing
well that the murder is laid to the charge of the
enemy and that no inquiry is made into the matter. Al-
together, the measure adopted of disarming all our camp
followers is, I think, an eminently judicious one,
though most undoubtedly they should rective a
fair recompense for their loss. Peshawur is, I think,
without exception, one of the finest towns I have ever
been in in India : the streets are wide, and the homes
extensive and lofty. On going into the main bazaar
the houses or shops are so built that a beautiful
circle is formed in the centre, where one can prome-
nade up and down when tired looking at the goods laid
out for sale: then there is a row of mulberry trees in
front of the shops, which sets them off to great advan-
tage. In one of these circles nothing but silk is
at
!manufactured, in another silk and other cloths are sold,
in another posteens, &c., and so on—everything ap-
pearing to go on with the utmost regularity. Then
there are
o so
the
manypub attitudes,l public
baths

h (or,nd as
the they
method ' a are t h

put
appears to be so ancient. The only thing which
annoys a European is that they scrub one so unmer-
ciful, as if the dirt of a century's accumulation
at boast were engrained in one's cuticle! After
the bath they give you a drink of iced fulooda'
(I think it is called), whets, you are taken into ano-
ther room, where a barber
.is in attendance to brush
your hair and shave you if you require it; and all this
for the small sum of half is rupee. The climate up
here is indeed very changeable. The second night
alter our arrival at this place we had a great whirl-
wind and dust storm, and shortly after that a heavy
tall of rain, accompanied with a great deal of thunder
and lightning. During the last week the weather has
been I think still more changeable, the first two days
the thermometer in a tent being 90 degrees, while for
two days it rained incessantly, and reminded me of

the monsoon in Bombay, the thermometer stand-
ing no higher than 60 degrees. On the evening
of the sth instant we had a most awful thunder-
storm ; it threatened rain towards evening, and about
eight o'clock it came down. The thunder is generally
louder here than I have ever heard it anywhere else,
but that night one clap in particular was the loudest
and most terrific any of us ever remembered, and
not a few were frightened out of their wits. A
tent was struck by the electric fluid, and one
man and a horse were killed on the spot, nine others
being severely burnt, one of whom has stnce died. Ru•
mourn are afloat that we are to recuive a donation of 12
months' field batty for the Punj sub campaign, and six
more for driving the Affghans in the Khyber Pass; but
this I suspect is too good to be true. Each regiment is
sending in a drawing of the medil we are to get, from
which I suppose the Governor-General will select the
one most to his taste. It is, I believe, to be a handsome
bffair; when it will be is-lied to us Heaven knows.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic
dispatch from Civita Vecchia : _ _

" CIVITA VECCIIIA, 23D JUNE.
" ADMIRAL TRITIOUART TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE.
"General Oudinot writes to me as follows:
" From the Trenches, 22d June,
Two o'clock, A.M.
"' The assault took place last night at eleven o'clock.
Three columns have scaled the breaches made in bas-

tions Nos. 6 and No. 7, and the curtain which unites
them. Our troops marched resolutely, and carried the
positions without great loss. Up to the present moment
the field-hospital has only received two captains and
eight or ten men. The gabions placed at the entrance
gorge of the two bastion. is in a state of great forward-
- 4SM- In short, the,whole of the operations have been
most satisfactory.
"! The Austrian troops evacuated Alessandria on the
18th of June.'"

There was a rumour current in Path yesterday
.hat CUARLES ALBERT was dead. We do not attach

much credit to this rumour. Intelligence has been
received by the Peninsular Company's steam ship,
direct from Oporto to the 20th, at which date
CHARLES ALBERT was reported to be recovering from
a severe illness.

The Government has lost no time in putting into
rigorous execution the law on clubs passed by the
Assembly on the 19th. M. DUFAURE, the Minister

of the Interior, has issued the following circular on
this subject to the various Prefects of Departments in

whose districts elections are to take place :
"Monsieur le Prefet,—The Moniteur of yesterday
contains the law on the clubs and other public nie,.tings
voted on the 19th June by the National Assembly. I
consider it necessary to explain to you my ideas as to
the object of that hw, and on the manner in which you
should cause it to be exucuted.

" The constitution recognises the right of eitinns to
assemble peaceably and without arms, but it has not
made it an absolute and unlimited right—it has, on the
contrary, made it sub3trvient to public security.
" Already restricted by the law of June 7 and July
28, the assembly has judged it necessary to add further
restrictions as far as regards public meetings.
"We are in one of those serious posi.ions where the
most faithful friends of liberty cannot hesitate to de
wand extraordinary sacrifices to save it from its own
excesses.

" Public meetings, under the name of clubs, or
under the form of banquets, have for the last
bitten months enjoyed almost unlimited liberty. You
have witnessed the results. Have they given a
salutary or fruitful idea to society ? Have they
inspired citiznis with one useful idea as to the du-
ties which they have to fulfil ? Have they inspired
respect fur the Government, whose first duty it was to
remove all those feelings which the remembrance of a
former period had called into action ? You are aware,
Monsieur le Plifßet, that the mission of the clubs has
been completely different. They have everywhere been
frequented by men of ardent and overheated imaginations,
and who would, at any price, invent something beyond
the liberal institutions which France now enjoys, and
which she has adopted since the revolution of February,
and when they found our political institutions able to
resist their violence they attacked the foundations of
society. There are Done of the principles of social life
which they have not repudiated and set at naught ; and
these doctrines were attended with such success that the

flame of civil war was ready to break out throughout
two-thirds of the French territory ; a misfortune which
was only prevented by the account of the repression of
the insurrection in Paris being so speedily known.
" The clubs alone are not the guilty parties in this
excitement ; the press has performed a very considerable
part.
" Society, however, and each of its members, has tho
instinct of self-preservation. It would defend itself, and
called for prompt means to prevent a recurrence of such
deplorable disorders. Tho law of 19th June is one of
these means.

" The first use which you will mike of it, Monsieur le
Prefet, will be to interdict throughout the whole of your
department, and in an absolute manner, any clubs or
political meetings in which public aff tirs may be dis-
cussed. They are a source of permanent danger, and
certain to renew that excitement which has led to the
late events. As to banquets and other public meet-
ings your prudence will readily see the character
which they may have. Let us prevent uneasy agi-
tations from impeding those useful works which tend
to the true interests of society. When an accidental
or permanent meeting may appear to you dangerous,
you will interdict it. You will, if necessary, cause the
doors of the place in which it is held to be closed, and
if necessary occupy the place with the armed force.
Should, however, the meeting take place, you will em-
ploy all the legal means in your power to dissolve it, and
will proceed against any one who may refuse to obey
your injunctions.
" The law does not intefere with religious, scientific,
or literary meetings, having a determinate view, and
which end with the accomplishment of the object in-
tended, and above all, with electoral meetings which are
truly such. On the contrary, if such meetings b,? held
in your department, you will afford them every encou-
ragement, for it is good that electors should meet and
discuss the claims of candidates and the principles on
r.hich they found their titles to the suffrages of their
feflo.v-citie ms. At the same timer, you will take care to

satisfy yourself that such naeetingsare in reality what
they profess to be, and that they were not held under a
mere pretext for forwarding designs dangerous to the
peace of society.
I have said enough to you, M. le Prefet, to give you
to understand the desire of the Government that you
should exercise the power delegated by law with firm-
ness and moderation; the result of the sacrifices which
we demand from lioerty is that order should be re-esta-
blished in our agitated society.
"Other Governments have felt as we have done the

necessity of establishing internal peace, without which,
in fact, no society could exist. Their mistake has been
in thinking, that so soon as law hail resumed its course,
and that material order was established, they had dis-
charged their wholo duty. The Goverment established
in France by the double election of the 10th December
and 13th May, will not fall into this error. Other in•
structions will, in a fiw days, convey to you my views
on this subjcet. For the moment I must confine myself

to one of the means afforded for the re-eitablishment of
respect for the Constitution in our country, the most
scrupulous obedience of the laws, and protection for the
rights and honour of each citizen. Without these con-
ditions it cannot be too strongly borne in mind, there
cannot bo activity of labour, nor development of intelli-
gence, nor grandeur, nor true liberty.
" You will keep ale informed of the execution of the
law of the 19th June, which you know does not modify
the law of 28th July, 1848, in all that concerns secret
societies. " Accept, &c.,
" The Minister of the Interior, DUFAITRE."
The Ministry yesterday introduced into the
Legislative Assembly the new law for regulating the
Press. M. ODILON BARROT stated that it was

intended merely as a temporary measure to regulate
the position of the Press until the organic law on the
subject should be passed. The law is nearly the same
as the law of Louis PHILIPPE, the only amelioration
being that the caution money is permitted to remain
at the sum fixed under the Provisional GovAearpin.plenaelntto.

The name of M. DE LAMARTINE would have ap-
peared in this list, but he refused to pledge himself
to sit for Paris, in case he.should be. elected for two
places ; a pledge which, with the union electorale,
it seems, de riguer.
The Republican list has not, yet been published.
PARIS BOURSE, MONDAY.
THREE, o'Caocic.—Tne Funds opened to day consi-
derably higher than they closed on Saturday, in conse-
quence of the news of the entry of the French into the
suburbs of Rome; but they afterwards gave way, and
ultimately closed a shade lower. The business done was
excessively limited. Railway Shares were firm. Ex-
change on London (thirty days), 25 40 ; ditto (ninety
days). 25 30.
