TO the amount to be insured, and its degree of
hazard, thus: If $1,000 is to be insured, ats per

he gives his note for 500, and in that proportion
for greater or less sum, according to the rate of
hazard, on which note he advances 6 per cent. and
an additional sum of 81 so for survey and policy.
He then becomes member on the approval of
his application and is insured for five years. The
aggregate Of the premium notes constitutes the

second, with the losses of the Company; and
should it prove insufficient to pay both losses and
expenses the money to meet the losses, Should

made to repay such loan upon the premium notes,
in proportion to their respective amounts, and in no

several losses may happen.
At the expiration of five years the note, if any
assessments have been made and paid, is given

THE PROSPECT IN CoNNECTICUr.-The
Hartford courant speaks after this wise of
the canvass which is now going on in the
land Of steady habits. "Our information re-
csived from other counties, is in the highest
degree encouraging. We begin to think
that the Times is right in saying "a despsr-
ate effort is to be made by the Wigs 1t
certainly looks like it. Meanwhile, friends
in Hartford County. wake up! 1t will not
do for US to sleep while the residue of the
State is wide awake. The Locofoco leaders
have hard work to excite their followers to
action. Great complaint is made by the
better portion of the party with regard to the
effect Of Locofoco measures, and they can
not be convinced that Wing principles are
the cause Of our troubles, when Wing plans
Of relief are not adopted. They are dissat-
isfed with what their learders propose-and
will not be excited BY the fierce appeals OF
the piteous meanings of the Office holders Of
the Times"

DIPLOMATIC Salaries.

Blackwood's Magazine, the great organ Of
the Tories in Scotland, has in late number
SONS sensible remarks on the enormous szla-
ries paid by the British Government to its
fareign ministry. in the course of which tho
example Of our Government is very respect-
fully referred to. This periodical has gene-
rally been among the bilterest and most
scornful deriders of our country, her char
acser, influence, republican institutions, and
every thing which pertains to us a, a nation.
The language employed in the annexed par,
agraph, and the respectful tone of reference
10 our example mark decisive change of
sentiment in that quarter. A. the opinions
put forth in such publications are sometimes
market commodities, using price.current
phrase, i've quote as follows:
"A man who receives II oOol year to show hos
ptallty and exhibit state, ought to do both but there
IS another and much more important point for the ma
ton to consider. Why should 000ia year be given
to an ambassador at Vienna, or any other court of
the earth Or what is the actual result but to frn-
sn IN nine instances out OF ten, splendid siuecure to
some man OF powerful interest. without any or but
slight reference to his facuesl Or is there any ne

ther residences or to do actual mischief by allurine
these abseniees from their own country2 we see no
possible reason why the whole ambassadoral es,ab.
lishmen might not be cut down to salaries of 5OOI a

CONGRESS. THE LAST DAY.

The Twenty-seventh Congress adjourned
at late hour on Saturday morning. The
Bill, which was passed last week, repeating
the Bankrupt act, was signed by the Presi-
dent on Friday, the last day of the session.
The nomination Of Henry 4. Wise, as Min
lister to France, was rejected by the Senate.
by vote of "a to IL. The Senate also re-
fused to confirm the nomination of Caleb
Gushing, as Secretary of the Treasury, 81
to 10. The names of these two gentlemen,
for these respective Offices, we're sent to the
Senate, we understand, three several times
by Mr.. Tyler, and they were three times re-
jected These proceedings created great
excitement at Washington. John C. Spen-
Ger was then nominated as Secretary of the
Treasury, and Edward Everett as Minister
to China. After considerable debate, both
were confirmed. 1t is said with confidence
that Mr.. Webster is to take Mr.. Evereu's
place as minister to England. There are
also several other rumors in regard to ap.
pointments and removals, but none of them
can be relied on. The above facts mus
satisfy our readers this week.

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1s43.
HARD CIDER.

The result Of the election for town Off
GERS, in this town last Monday, will probably
satisfy the Loco Focos that this pleasant be-
verage was not entirely "used up" in the
campaign of 1910. A few demijohns of the
real TIpPEcANoE BRAND were uncorked on
that occasion, and it foamed and sparkled
most beautifully. We understand the Lo-
cos thought it was rather sour, but the gene
raj opinion among our friends is that age had
only added to its flavor. The same Old
Coon " also made his appearance last Mon
day. He was first seen, about ten o'clock
in the morning, snugly perched on the
"Break Water" and he was neither "treed"
nor terrified by the eloquent speech with
which his presence was greeted. But,meta-
phor aside, the result of the election was quite
satisfactory. The Wings carried the Mode
rator, Town Clerk, the entire board Of Sc
lectmen, Treasurer, and, in short, almost ev-
cry officer whose election was contested
The meeting was more fully attended than
any other of the kind within our recollec-
ton, the highest vote being nearly five hum
dred

of this result the Bulletin speaks as follows:
"the result may be regarded as a very grea.
triumph. The actual majority is about ff-
teen per cent of the whole vote, and it was
achieved under the most adverse cilcumstan-
ces. Tho excitement growing out Of the
closing of the Commercial Bank not only
kept great numbers from the polls, but the
opponents of Mr.. Freret we're not slow to
take advantage Of the occurrence, and en-
deavor to connect his name and the Wing
cause with the fallen institution. The new
branch, too, of the Loco Foco party, the
"friends of the Administration" went into
the contest with great zeal, and cast the whole
weight Of Government influence against the
Wings. Notwithstanding these odds, how
ever, we have the satisfaction to announce a
Wing triumph; and we believe il to be the
forerunner Of series of successes, calculated
to develop the full strength of the party, and
place it in the most commanding position il
has ever occupied"
