THE GRANVILLE INSURANCE co.

We are desired 10 publish the following le-
gal opinion Of the validity of assessments lev
iol upna their premium notes in this State,
by the Washington County Mutual Insur-
ance Company" 1t will be observed that the
facts stated, if true, suggest probabilities very
nearly concerning persons interested as in
surers in the company. Shrewd people seem
to think the late assessment Of 80 per cent
viewed in connection with the significant cir
cuRstanccs below stated, looks like an at
tempt at a FINAL haul BE that as it may the
facts alone, give the policies of tho Company
anything but look of security, We have
never had particle of confidence in the con.
Germ, aud believe that Vertaonters at least,
will bye and T'ye sec no reason to regret hav-
ing escaped by the first honorable opening
from its hands, and having transferred their
membership to one of the safe and prudently
managed companies in their own midst
lcorY,1
Mr. Frank II, Taylor, an agent of Farmers
Mutual insurance Company of Montpelier,
having called ON me to get my opinion upon
the proper conrse for persons insured and
taxed by the Washington Co, n. Y. 1nsur-
ance Company state, tho char
ter was lost by non user the acts Of this State
requiring certain things 10 be done have not
been complied with. Therefore there is no
such company as the Washington Mutual In-
suranco Company. 1.-THE Company does ex-
st, then their sworn report of Febuary last,
shows, up to that time S9Oo0'oA hand, pfer
aud above all losseS Therefore the amount
of [now] alleged losses is false, or else the
sworn report is false.
The true course for people is to get poll
cios cancelled at once, by sending written re-
quest, referring to No. of Policy. If they
choose to resist, the assessments they run
no risk They can never collect. When any
suit is commenced, will give such instruo-
tony rs will insure defence.

1HR WAR AT THE CAPE or Coon UoPK-
The war in Africa between ths AboFigiRes
and the English settlers, is beginning 20 OK
cite attention throughout the tho world, not
only from the fact that il has so far haiiied all
tho efforts of British forces to put stop TO il
but also that nearly all the different races in
habiting the country seem 10 be joining the
Caffres, in what is called by the English pa
pers, the rebellion.
BY the Canada, from Liverpool, letters
have boen received in this city from the cape
of Good Hope, to April 4th These letters
state that the war is no nearer close than
when il first began, and that large force
from England will be necessary TO suppress
the outbreak. Ifthe chiefs in the back coun-
try Join in the movement, il is believed that
at least one hundred thousand warriors can
be brought into the field against the English
"a very formidable force, and one that Eng
land win find il both difficult and expensive to-
put down.
We are indebted 10 n commercial firm in
this city for Cape Town papers Of late dates
Thesc papers are filed with the details q
marches and countermarches Of the English
troops and the few allies which remain faith
full to them. Every week OF two engagements
occur, in which the Caifres are generally
worsted though this is not always the case;
We should judge by the reports of the killed
in these battles, that at least two thousand
lives have already been sacrificed in THIS
bloody contest. The destruction Of properly
has also been enormous.=.Boston Paper -

that a Catholic Minister of Publie Instruction
shall be associated with the present incum-
bent of that office, to the end that the fund
