LIFE DEPARTMENT.
A sum far more than equal to the value of the policies is invested
in the public securities, in the names o; the trustees, so as to be 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 fora 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 4 per cent. for five years,
thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate
payment of the premium for 5001. only.
The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001.
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 iu the interim, the amount due will then
be deducted.

(From the Times.)
We have received, by extraordinary express from
Marseilles, our dispatches in anticipation of the
Bombay mails to the 15th, of March, a brief sum-
mary of which appeared in our Wednesday's im-
pression.
From the Punjaub we learn that details of the con-
spiracy against Tnj Singh and others of the chiefs
were every .day coming to light. The religious
enthusiasts of Lahore, called the Akhalees, are at
the bottom of the whole, and it will require the
utmost caution on the part of the Lahore Government
to prevent the assassination of some of its leaders.
The mode in which all dis.satisfactioila shown in the
,Punjaub is Ili nzutilligetr'Qiittedifr. - We nkay ex-
pect to hear of such atrocities 'within a short time.
The British officers are on the alert to prevent them,
but the enthusiasts are Oily waiting their oppor-
tunity.
The death of the notorious Akbar Khan, the son
and Wuzeer of Dost Mahomed, of Caubul, is an-
nounced, but it requires to be confirmed. The cause
is said to be delirium tremens—a fit death for such a
character. There appear to be intrigues at work at
Candahar and Caubul. Persia is said to be the agent
of a great European Power in all these intrigues.
The British agent sent into Caubul some time
back, to recover the prisoners left behind after the
retreat from Caubul, has returned; he arrived at
Lahore with the rescued captives, among whom is a
European boy, whom Colonel Lawrence has under-
taken to protect.
In Sinde tranquillity prevails ; the hot weather
was beginning, yet there was no remarkable sickness.
Sir C. Napier had returned to Kurrachee ; he had
visited the plains of Meeanee and Dubba, as if, as
some maintained, in anticipation of his retirement
from Sinde. His enemies are not idle in their old
trade of misrepresenting all his actions.
The Governor-General was at Ilurdwar on the
10th of February, and the Commander-in-Chief had
left Kalka on the 7th. Both those noblemen were
preparing to go to Simla, to pass the hot months at
that pleasant station.
The Nizam's dominions present the same picture
of a dilapidated treasury and a miserable people.
All sorts of outrages are perpetrated. The present
Government of these fine districts of the Deccan is
impotent for producing any good ; and some altera-
tion must speedily be effected to relieve the wretched
inhabitants.
The arrival at Calcutta of the 252 guns from
Lahore took place in the beginning of February,
and was the occasion of much rejoicing in tha

capital.
In Bombay there was much discussion respecting
the decisions of the Judges of the Supreme Court
in the case of the demurrer against the proceed-
ings of the plaintiff in the celebrated opium ac-
tions. The Chief Justice gave judgment in favour
of the demurrer ; while the Puisne Judge, in a
clear and well-reasoned discourse, gave a contrary
opinion. Both these, juetments have been pub.
lished, and will be found worthy the attention of
those who seek to understand the nature of Indian
time-bargains. An appeal, on behalf of the plain-
tiff, has been sent home against the decision of
the new Chief Justice of Bombay. The matter
is of great interest to that Presidency, for, if
the demurrer be established, it will be difficult
to make the native dealers adhere to any pro-
spective contracts, or promises to take goods at a
future day.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE
BONBAY, MARCH 15.
(From the Gentleman's Gazette.)
Cotton Piece Goods—The late accounts from England
being lees encouraging, and only two months remaining
of the season for disposing of goods, holders have be-
come free in offering their stocks, and at the same time
dealers have become cautious and do not purchase be-
