it is at home and its profits distributed here while the

tages OF Lille assurances are now too universally
knowedged to require minute detail of the benefits
resulting therefrom it is enough say that all persons
who derive their incomes or support from public pri

pursuits should avail themselves of its advantages in
order to secure liberal support to those who are de-
pendant on their exertons. The rates of insurance
as favorable as those Of any similar institution in
