One of our cotemporaries having noticed the nsu-
rance of rents by the agency OF the Liverpool an Lon
don Fire and Life Insurance Company in this city as
new feature in insurance. several officers Of home Com
panes have addressed letters TO the Journal in ques
ton, denying the novelty Of the system and stating
that the practice has been common here for some
years. The proposition Of the London and Liverpool
Company is as follows:
"The Liverpool and London Fire and Life Insu-
rance Company viii make insurance against loss of
rents by Fire, on new and most liberal principei

" is understood and agreed that it is the intent of
TIE Company to fully indemnify the insured from aay
loss of rent he may sustain by fire happening to the
building, not exceeding the amount insured by this
policy. Loss TO be computed from the day of occur
renee of any fire. Loss not to be limited by the day
of expiration named in the policy In of total or
partial loss of the building, it shall be assumed to be
The duty of the insured basis for the settlement
of the loss of rent to rebuild or repair las the

and the Insured will be taken the yearly rent
Of premises"
I'm Of disagreement TO the amount due
from the Campany under this policy it shall be left TO
the arbitration OF disinterested individuals mutually
chosen"
Rents are insured by other Companies, bat the diff
ference, as we understand it, between this insurance
and that Of other Companies is that the rent in
of loss, paid by the above Company does not stop
with the expiration Of the policy but runs until the
premises rebuilt and the owner receives rent again
from tenants; while under the policies of other Com
panies the rent only paid up to the day of the exp
ration Of the policy. Thus loss taking place lst
March under policy in the Liverpool and London
Company and another in a home Company, both poll
oies expiring on the lst April, the home Office would
pay the insured one months rent, while the Liverpool
ard London Office would continue to pay until the
premises were rebuilt. If wrong and any home
Company has been insuring rent in the same way we
vii willingly make the correction.
The question between Messrs. Monroe & Co. and
Messrs Groesbeck, alluded TO yesterday, has been
referred TO two members Of tie Board for arbitration
The question TO be settled is whether Messrs Groes
beck shall pay 81 the price at which the stock was
bought, 10, at which Nicaragua sold after the
news was generally known.
