BRITISH EMPIRE MUTUAL FIRE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY,
37, New Bridge-streeLltlackfriars, London.
THE MUTUAL PRINCIPLE applied to Life Assurance has met
with extraordinary and long continued success.
FIRE ASSURANCE,- however, is almost exclusively conducted
on the Joprietary system.
The evidence is c/mplete that large profits are derivable from Fire
Assurance.
BY THE MUTUAL PLAN all these profits are divided among
the Assured, who alone have the control. rise Directors are chosen
by the Members from among themselves.
The success which has attended the progress of the British Mutual
Life Assurance Company has led to the establishment of this Society
on these principles, and which is now effecting Assurances against
Fire at the London and Provincial Offices, where Prospectuses may
be obtained.
Application for Agencies may be made to the Secretary.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other
,apposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the pica
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret nn-
zomprosiag hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity,
snot broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
:lenient. Honour end justice demand that health should form an item
in the corapact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
sogiect wound snore sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

ARREST OF BLANQUI.
The following details are given of the arrest of
Blanqui :—The Executive Committee had received
information' that M. Blanqui, after haring taken
refuge with several different friends, had at last
sought an asylum with M. D—, residing at No.
14, rue Montholon. From the attempt on May 15,
he had led an errant life. Pursued by justice,
on the very next day after, by means which
have not yet been ascertained, he was let
out of the Prefecture of Police, M. Blanqui
contrived to evade the most active researches.
Being an experienced and professed conspirator,
full of sang-froid and audacity, he brought into
play, with rare ability, all his resources for throw-
ing his pursuers off the scent. Small in person
and weak in constitution, with features which when
once known cannot well be ever forgotten, having a
deformity which makes it extremely painful to him
to walk, it was more difficult for him than almost
any other man to bear the fatigue of body and
anxiety of mind in escaping from the pursuits of
justice. But in the great energy of his mind,
excited by his desperate situation, he found suf-
ficient vigour. He not only shaved off his beard,
but, it is said, on occasions disguised himself in wo-
men's clothes. However this may be, and it is not one
of the least singular traits of character in this strange
pershnage, Blanqui never ceased to keep up a corre-
spondence with his principal confederates, and keep
in his own hand the strings of the complicated in-
trigl;ies of the anarchist party. Communications, the
corr ctness of which seemed to be free from doubt,
t, Blanqui's retreat, reached the authorities on
, iy morning. The house No. 14, rue Month°.
is inhabited, with other tenants, by M. Berthelin,
of the judges of the Tribunal de Premiere
ince of the Seine. A. M. D-- occupies the
nd floor, with his family. The charge of making
search was intrusted to M. YOD, the Commis-
of Police. On this important expedition he
; with only a very few officers, but these were
of tried character and vigour. But sufficient
s were placed at his command, and these he
i with great care in the neighbourhood. M.
. entered the house at half-past five in the after-
nom), and immediately went up with his men to the
apartment of M. D—, who was at dinner with
his wife and daughter, but there was no appearance
of I3LANQUI having been of the party. The
commissary made knowri the object of his visit.
M. D— showed no emotion, but protested that
he had not given hospitality to a man in whose opi-
nions he did not participate, and of whose con-
duct he disapproved. Nevertheless, M. Yon pro-
ceeded to make a minute search in all the roams,
clos( ts, corners, and chimneys of the apartment.
Finding no ona he was about to withdraw, when he
suddenly recollected that, although the house was
three stories high, the stairclise did not, ascend beyond
the second floor, and that consequently there must be
a • private staircase from that in which he was to the
one above. Renewing the search with increased
tavigpeil)atnryce;
whehict:coovnerebdeianngotohpeerneddo,orgacvoe entrance

to a narrow and very dark staircase.
M. Yon, as a precaution against any armed
resistance, made M. and Mme. D— go up be-
fore him. He followed him into a garret, in which
was, a table spread with all the-delicacies of the
season, wine and fruit. He found four persons
standing at the table, evidently in great agitation.
Advancing to one of them, he laid his hand upon him,
crying, " Citoyen Blanqui, in the name of the law, I
arrestabtu
al y o ucOolne Blanqui,
liwdhowiatth othnacte
bitterresum resumed his
h
al ways imprinted on his lauguage, "Ah ! eh !
Citoyeu Yon ! you arrested the patriots under
Louis Philippe, and it seems you follow the same
trade under the Republic." M. Yon seeing that
Blanqui's companions seemed disposed to defend
him, though none of them were armed, at least osten-
sibly so, cried, " Let the injunctions of the law be
obeyed, or at my call a company of the National
Guard will soon come to my aid. These words
seemed to make a deep impression upon them all ;
but Blanqui said, " You will at least suffer me
to take something before I go." To this M. Yon
replied, " Yes. 1 will allow you to take a glass of
water to wash down the papers you have swal-
lowed." The fact was that Blanqui, on the appear-
ance of the Commissary and his men, had put some
papers into his mouth. He was then immediately
conducted by the officer to the Conciergerie,
where he underwent a long examination before the
magistrates appointed to investigate the circum-
stances of the attempt of the 15th. At three o'clock
in the morning, Blanqui was committed to the fort of
Vincennes. Among the persons who were with
Blanqui in the rue Montholon, all of whom made
their escape, was, it is said, M. Lacambre. This ar-
rest was made with so much precaution that no one
in the neighbourhood was aware at the time of what
was passing. According to an account in the Presse,
Blanqui, while being conveyed from Paris to Vin-
cennes, talked in the most incoherent manner, he
wept, laughed, and sung by turns; he spoke of" his
wife, of his children. There was, he said, but one
Republican in France, and that was himself. On
arriving at Vincennes he said, " Let me not be placed
near Bathes, he is a fool—he has lost the game—he
is a, bad player." He afterwardS fell into a complete
state of prostration. When his keeper brought him
some food, he said to him, " Go, and tell them, that,
if they have the head of Blanqui, they have not got
the rest ; before a month I shall be higher than the
:athedrals; go, and tell them that." The Procureur
)f the Republic, accompanied by an examining magic-
rath, was to hare interrogated M. Blanqui on Satur-
layimorning.
