THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE

Net amount of accumulated premiums, s2l5, ST..
This company is organized on the purely mutual
principle and its business is restricted by the char
ter TO the insurance Of lives and granting annuities
and endowments.
1t commenced, without CAPT tai, on the LIST of Feb
ruary, l643. At the close of its second year. (3lst
January, lS45) it had issued 066 policies, and its
net accumulated premiums was S97 ,276. At the
termination of the third year, the 3lst January,
1886 the whole number Of policies issued was 49,
and its net accumulated premiums, after paying all
losses and expenses, S2l5 ST.; thus exhibiting
increase during the last year of ,047 policies is
sued, and Sll8, 1918 of accumulated funds, which is
rapidly augmenting by an annual income of $3.50
600, growing out of original and renewed premiums
and interest on Investments.
This'extraordnary success places the company
in a strong position, and it now ranks among the
safest institutions in the country.
Polcy-holders participate in the whole of the
profits there being no proprietary interest sub
scribed capital to absorb any portion thereof. An
extensive and prosperous business promises large
dividends the first division Of profits on the lst
of February, l84s, and persons now insuring will
share in these profits if they survive that period.
The premiums are paid annually, and are as low
any American company, and lower than the
English, with participation in the profits. Policy
holders are secured by investments in bonds and
mortgages on real estate in the city of New York
and Brooklyn, worth double the amount loaned
thereon and in stocks of the State and city of New
York. ,
The transactions of this company are on the
cash principle--consequenty the survivors of par
ties nsuring with it will not be subjected to the
heavy drawback of accumulated premium notes.

We have received (says the Belize, Honduras,

GuArEnALA.--The following is an extract from
letter dated Guatemala, July LIST, giving an outline
of the state of affairs there IL is published in the
Belize Observer:
aThis city has all the day been in considerable
state Of commotion, account of the report that
conspiracy against the government has been detect
ed; soldiers posted at different parts Of the town
and at the doors Of houses, in order 10 apprehend
suspected individuals. Many persons have already
been taken, but great number have escaped, having
had timely warning that their conspiracy had been
detected The conspiracy appeared TO have been
nurtured for considerable time, and was rumifed
over different parts Of the country. II appears To
have originated with number Of young men Of re-
spectabiity, and afterwards TO have been joined by
older heads-some well known as revolution

purpose Of oyerthrowing General Pals, who was
minister Of finance and war ill within a few days
before its discovery About eight or ten persons are
already arrested, some Of whom have made full
confessions, which are, however, not yet made pub

days, when shall not fail TO inform you fully the

ToBAGo-An unpleasant difficulty exists between
the House Of Assembly of this island and the local
governor, Sir George Grey. The house has pass
ed resolutions purporting that further business
will be transacted or despatched by the house until
the chief justice Of the court OF queens bench be
removed or suspended from his Office Of chief jus
tice.
The governor will neither remove nor suspend the
chief Justice, and the house will neither assemble
nor enact laws So they go.

AccIpENTs ON RAILRoADs.-Scienti6c institutions
in various parts of Europe are engaged in making
up statistical estimates of accidents on various rail-
roads. 1t has been ascertained that the year lS42
was the most unfavorable in France; and where one
accident occurred to $4,000 travellers, in 1884, only
one accident occurred to 1921, 900 travellers. In
England, in 1910, there was accident to ga 900;
in 1S43, one to $4,000. This is favorable to France
From lS4l to lS45, there were 1,057 accidents in
England, from which 1893 persons died. In Bel
GUM, in 1874, there one to $4,000. In l845,
one accident to 1902 900 travellers. From 1895 to
1874, only SO persons were killed, and 1903 wound

We received on the 7th inst, by the steam-packet
Ecuador" from Panama, the news Of the declara-
ton Of war against Mexico which has created
much excitement here; of course we cannot expect
to have the sympathies Of the South Americans in
our favor. They do not conceive any act to be just
but their own, and an attack upon Mexico, how
ever well authorized, they consider an outrage COM
mtted upon their brothers.

schooner. The Columbus, Commodore Biddle, is

pie appear to be tired Of revoutonsi and having

change in political affairs fast manfesting itself
The troops which had been levied during the late
war, and were on the eve Of returning to Rio
Janero, were suddenly countermanded, and add.
tonal forces had arrived from Rio Janeiro. These
movements were doubtless caused by the warlike
aspect of things at the river Plata to protect the
frontier, though probably through some distrust of
the local and political pacifcauon Of the said pro-
vince.

A CHANGE IN THE COURSE OF TRADE.
We clip the following from the Oswego Wing:


The sales of -four are limited to small quantities,
and there is less going north than usual, the Cana
dian duty and the recent large reduction Of the i'm
peral duty, having the effect to drive Canadian
dealers from our market American -four now
goes into the British markets cheaper by the Hud-
son than the st. Lawrence, fact that accounts in
some degree for the greatly increased canal ship
ments east at this port In past large guam
titles of -four manufactured here have gone down
the ST. Lawrence. We have not the means of
showing how much less is going in that direction
the present season, but the following exhibit of the
canal shipments of wheat and -four for the month Of
July for three years will show the increased quant-
ty going the other way:

EXCELLENT sIR | have communicated to the
vice president, exercising the executive power,
your note of this day, communicating the fact of the
pronuaeamento headed by you, with portion Of the
troops stationed in this capital. His excellency
commands me to say, that the road by which his
government proceeds is that Of the law, that he has
conducted it conformable to constitutional regua-
,ions and the real interests Of the nation that
the movement executed by you is contrary to the
laws which his excellency has sworn to guard, par.
alyzng the measures which the government had
taken to prosecute with activity the defence of the
country against the United States.
The deeds Of his excellency are written in the
brilliant pages Of the independence of the country,
and are the fruits of the ardent love he bears her.
He can never be held responsible for the blood
which may flow, and the consequences of a
pronunciamento which destroys all hope of order
in the republic. The plan you forward is the
same that has circulated for some time past in
various parts of the republic, whose object is
to excite the people; but it will be unsuccess-
ful, the enlightened portion of the nation will
spurn every attempt to obscure destroy their hb
erty. You are ordered, pursuant to directions from
the ministry of and marine, to abandon the hos
tile attitude you have assumed, and to prepare to
march to the northern frontier, invaded by the ex-
terna enemies Of the republic, where the services
of the armed forces are required God and liberty!

During the erection Of one of the first batteries
which Napoleon, his arrival at Toulon, directed
against the English, he asked whether there was
sergeant corporal present who could write. man
advanced from the ranks and wrote to his dictation
on the epauement. The note was scarcely ended,
when cannon ball, which had beer fired in the d.
recton of the battery, fell the spot, and the pa
per was Immediately covered with the loose earth
thrown up by the ball. "Well," said the writer, 81
shall have no need of sand" This remark, together
with the GOODNESS with which it made, fixed the
attention Of Napoleon, and made the fortune of the
sergeant. This man was Junot, afterwards Duke Of
Arbautis, Coone-general of the Hussars, command
ant in Portugal, and encouragement in Illyria.
