ESsS ~SUMED.-This Association is now pre-
-ssss to issue Policies of Insurance on the
lives of all persons enjoying good general health and
of sound constitutions or the whole duration OF life,
for limited period, and upon as reasonable terms as
any similar company. AS this is the only institution OF
the kind in this State it claims fairly the patronage of
our own citizens, especially when it is rememberedt that
it is at home and its profits distributed here, while the
premiums of other companies, literally encouraged by
the public are carried out of the State. The advan
tages of Life assurances now too universally ac-
knowedged to require minute detail OF the benefits
resulting therefrom is enough to say that all persons
who derive their incomes support from public pri
vate situations, mechanical professional mercantile
pursuits should avail themselves of its advantages
order to liberal support to those who de-
pendant their exerio1fs. The rates Of insurance
favorable those of any similar institution in
the United States and general information relating to
Life nsurances together with the rates of premiums
will be cheerfuy given to those who call at the Office

The Pacific Railroad is marked on the map, and
the various routes from London, New York and
San Francisco, 10 the different regions of the East
Indies, Australia and Polynesia. The construction
| of the Tehuantepac Road, and the completion Of
the Railroad to New York, would bring the com
merce of the world to the cities of New Orleans
and New York. The distance is greatly in favor
of New York, compared with London. This,
however, is all work of time.
But the mail steamers can be placed on The line
at once. Mr.. Moore proposes to commence in May
1857, but there is no reason for this long delay.
The steamers may as well begin TO make the trips
in two years.
1t is all important that The Naval strength of this
country shall be increased in the Pacific. One OF
the most spirited books of adventure ever written
is " Porer's Cruise in the Pacific" The desiruc.
ton of British commerce in those remote seas was
awful There is nothing on record which com
pares with it. But nothing of the kind could be
attempted by us now, while England, on the con.
trary, with her fleet of steamships, would, in one
month, sweep the Pacific and capture every Amer.
lean vessel. The establishment of this line is OF
the utmost Importance, both in commercial and
military point.
Congress, however, adjourned without passing
the bill 10 effect this great object.
