ing the justly popular principle of Mutuality to Public Guarantee,
the Premiums, instead of being a tax upon honesty, become a
means of saving and investment.

An allowance made in the Guarantee Premium where a Life As-
surance and Guarantee are combined.

Is 24/. Is. Bd.; in 1847 he had paid in Premiums 1601. I Is. Bd. ; but
the profits beinz 214 per cent. per annum on the sum insured (which
is 22/. 10s. per annum for each 1,000/.), he had 1571. 10s. added to the

THE (LATE) GREAT EXHIBITION.
Notwithstanding the intimation given to the foreign
exhibitors that all the goods were to be removed by
the 13th instant (Saturday), there is still a large
quantity within the building, chiefly belonging to
France and some of the German States. The diffi-
culties of our French friends have been materially
increased by the events of the last ten or twelve
days ; and, either from miscalculating the quantity of
goods to be re•conveyed to France, or from the want
of previous arrangement, there are no means of ship-
ping them off, and the Custom-house authorities have
been induced to relax somewhat of their strict rules,
and allow the goods to be deposited for the present
on the Ordnance Wharf, as if in bond. Although the
building has been handed over to the contractors,
Messrs. Fox and Henderson, a small executive staff,
under the command of Lieutenant Tyler, still remains.
They have the charge of the embryo national mu-
s,um, and are the recipients of the samples and
specimens contributed by the various exhibitors.
It is still hoped that the building will be
so completely cleared of the goods that it may be
thrown open to the public on the Ist of January, as
already arranged. All the entrances have now been
shut up, except the public entrance on the south side,
and the east end, through which the foreign packages
are conveyed away. Here a great deal of bustle is
still observable—long ranges of carts and waggons,
some loaded and moving off, others drawing up to the
entrance to be filled, are to be seen. The interior of
the building is lighted with gas, and the workmen are
kept busily employed to the latest moment. The
bell rings at present at a quarter past four o'clock, and
all the packages not then removed are brought back
into the interior, and the building cleared out. The
number of policemen on duty has now been reduced
to a mere handful, and the vast pile is rapidly assum -
ing a look of desolation and gloom as seen in the haze
and twilight of a winter's evening.
