The County is the only Fire Otlice which has constantly
made Returns to its Members, and for a long series of years.
These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have
amounted to upwards of 100,0001.
In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided
among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of
from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty on his own life
for 3,0(X)/., which additions increased to 3,9;31.
Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up
within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro-
jected within the last two or three years, it may be necessary
to observe, that all the substantial advantages promised by such
new Offices have been long realised under the plans and ma-
nagement of the Provident Life Office.

of a repeal of the Corn-laws The Corn-laws must 1)3
repealed by the efforts of the people, and until the public
voice declares itself in a manner to admit neither of mis-
construction nor opposition, we might argue till doomsday
without producing any effect on the callous minds of the
Corn-law monopolists "—The Morning Post remarks, in
a leading article on Mr„ Villiers's motion for to-night on
the Corn-laws :—" The clamourers against the Corn-laws
can, we find, occasionally abate their voices to the milder
ones of expostulation, and insinuatingly suggest that at
least there ought to be a parliamentary inquiry upon the
subject of Corn-law repeal. This plea when taken by it-
self is plausible, but every man of consideration may per-
ceive that they who make use of it are not honest nor sin-
cere. This plea for inquiry is but a part of the system of
delusion through which it is hoped to cheat those connected
with the land out of that protection which is so needful for
their interests and those of the nation."
