LIFE DEPARTMENT.
A sum far more than equal to the value of the policies is invested
in the public securities, in the names oi the trustees, so as to Le at
all times available.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the
Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of
5 per cent. was added to the Shares, in addition to the payment of
the annual interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum,
without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been
calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half
the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years,
thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0901. on the immediate
payment of the premium for 5001. only.
The fellowing are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 10A01.
for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by
merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should
the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then
be deducted.

THE --i-------
THE ADDRESS IN ANSW M
SIA
ER TO THE SPEECH
FRO THE .
We have received from BerIinTHRONE a copy of the Address
r---K-RUSIET.
of the Prussian Diet, in reply to the Speech from the
Throne, as adopted Unanimously
by the Committee
appointed to draw it up for the Diet. It is as follows:--
" Very Gracious Lord and King,—Since your acces-
sion to the Throne, your Majesty has laboured inces-
santly at the noble development of the existence of the
nation, and the country enjoys with feelings of gratitude
the advantages resulting from the lively interest taken
by the people in
public affairs. A new and more elevated
sphere has been opened for this interest. Recognising
the necessity of a representative organ, common to the
whole nation, and its utility for the unity of the state,
your Majesty has deigned to convoke in an united Diet
the States o all the provinces. By your free and truly
royal decision, your Majesty has made a great step, and
we accomplish a first and sacred duty in laying at the
foot of the Throne the expressions of the gratitude of a
faithful people, and
nae
- our immutable attachment
to the person and family of
your Majesty. The country
increases in greatness by the elevated mind of its
Princes, and the power of public opinion; its future
prosperity is based upon this community. It is mani-
fested anew by the fact of your Majesty having, in your
letters patent of the 3d of February of this year, an-
flounced your intention of continuing to erect on the
basis of the laws given by his Majesty the late King, and
to which the peep!e are attached as to a patrimony which
itacquired,Majesty
as a recompense for its fidelity in
on
having realised the reserve ex-
pressed in the law of the sth June, 1823, and given the
name of United Diet to the assembly which in the said
chflaii ct nobly.
You r
law is called the General Assembly of States, and in the
law of the 17th January, 1820, the Assembly of the
States of the Kingdom, the laws founded upon the laws
there laid down, and upon other anterior laws, are ac-,
quired by the states. The decree of the 17th January,
1820, compels the authority charged with the ad-
ministration of the public debt to give an account
annually to the Assembly of the States of the
Kingdom, and thus ensures to it the vital condition of
useful action, vix.—its periodical convocation. The same
law subjects to the co-guarantee of the States of the
Kingdom, not merely the loans for which the entire for-
tune of the state is given as surety, or which are destined
for the wants of peace, but also every new loan which
the state should be compelled to contract to secure its
own existence, or with the view to the increase of the 1
general prosperity. Thus the guarantee of the debts of
the states demands a correct knowledge of the financial
condition of the country and of the state of the national
wealth, and hence the co-operation of the states, when
the question affects the disposal of the domains which
are not comprised in the dispositions of the law of Ja-
nuary 17, 1820, forms part of the attributions which be-
long of right to the states.
that s The law of the sth June,
1823, determines besides long as there shall be
no general
assemblies of states the Bills of a general na-
ture shall be submitted to the provincial states. Hence-
forth this decision will cease to have any effect by the
creation of a united Diet of the states, so that the advice
of the latter is necessary for all the general laws having
for object to effect changes in the rights of persons or
property, or to levy taxes, and cannot be replaced by
ramittee
diets or united co - ~
the advice of provincial s.

THEO OF EDUCATION.
Inc
GOVERNMENT
EA
SURE
OPPONENTS.—It has transpired that
NlatST Ey
O F
an attempt is being made to coerce Mr. Ord, ALP., with
the view of causing him to vote at variance with his con-
victions upon the education question. A few of the dissent-
ing voters of the town are, it seems, about to assure that
gentleman that unless he votes to please them, they will not
c
be answerable for the consequences. In other words, they'
very politely inform him that he is to vote on this
question solely as their delegate, not as the responsi-
ble representative of a great community. Such is
the idea of duty and tolerance which the parties
to whom we refer seek to realise. They denounce
domination in religious matters, yet strive to be tyrannical.
They profess to be the friends of freedom of conscience, and
yet presume to trample upon it in their dealings with others.
They talk loudly of right and liberty, and despise both to
accomplish a purpose. They arraign. the inquisition of former
times, and themselves become inqnisitors. They detest dic-
tation, and would become dictators. Are these the repre-
sentatives of modern Nonconformity—the champions of right
against might—the enemies of State interference--the advo-
cates of freedom of thought and unshackled action ? Alas ! no.
In the name of the principles they violate, and the profes-
sions they disgrace, we protest against them being considered'
types of the Dissenters of Newcastle. They are exceptions,
few and weak, and must not be confounded with the body
from which they spring.—Newcastle itdvertiser.
