During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Englanf,,
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2807.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This Is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
seer.

[PRICE SD.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterda:e
The Committee on the Dotation has determined to
' report that they do not consider the dotation nece se
sary. M. PISCATORT is nominated the reporter. Tile
debate in the Assembly will take place cn Monday_
Yesterday, shortly after the Assembly had met, T.
DE GERMINY, Minister of Finance, laid on the buree it
the budget of expenses of 1852. The exposition of
motives cominences by recalling the situation of pr
vious budgets. The budget of 1850 was covered et;
far as related to the ordinary expenses. All the de-
ficits of budgets previous to that of 1852 present:
a total of 649 millions. In order to reduce this
deficit they had to count, in the first place, on the
increase of the produce of the indirect taxes, and
upon the sums to he paid up by various railway core-
panics. To meet this deficit the Treasury had at itn
disposal 570 millions of floating debt, 85 millions of
treasure in the Bank and 60 millions of Rentes and
disposable securities. The Minister announced tint
the department of public instruction required an in -
portant increase for the eateries of primary teacher,.
The Ministry of Public Works required an augmen -
tation of twelve millions for the service of railways.
The Ministry of War required an augmentation of
seven millions. The receipts for 1852 are estimate el
at 1,382,673,416 f., and the expenses ordinary as wOl '
as extraordinary, at 1,372,978,628 f. The excess of
the receipts over expenses is therefore 9,694,788 f.
The Bill of the Budget will be referred -to a special
committee.

General LABITTE has resigned his seat as the re-
presentative of the Department of the North.
On the subject of the rumoured illness of the Count
of CHAMBORD the Gazette de France says—
" Reports of the most alarming kind have been cur-
rent for the last three days, relative to the health of the
Count de Chambord, and this morning they became
more general, being the subject of general conversation
at the Bourse, at the Assembly, and indeed in every
part of Paris. The authentic information which we have
received enables us to give the most formal contradiction
to them."

The Moniteur du Soir says—
" We are happy to be able to contradict these re-
ports. The Count de Chambord had been rather se-
riously ill for several days, but, on the 26th ult. wus
completely recovered."
The Bourse was dull at the commencement of busi-
ness, but after some time it became more animated, and
a general improvement took place in the price of public
securities. The Five per Cents. opened at 961. 15c.,
and rose to 96f. 55c., at which they closed ; the Three
per Cents. closed at 58f. ; Orleans Railroad Shares,
875 f ; Rosen, 68f. 75c.; Havre, 275 f.; Great Northern,
478 f. 75c.; Avignon, 191 f. 25c.; Vierzon, 410 f.; Basle,
158 f. 75c.; Bordeaux, 401 f. 25c.; Paris and Strasburg,
370.; Tours and Nantes, 2531. 75c.
