INsuRANcE.-The Importance Of insu-
rance against losses by fire and water, may
be seen at glance by the following figures:
There were 325 fires in The United States in
1857, and the amount OF properly destroy ed
was upwards of SSl4 500, 600. In 1856. the
amount of property destroyed was upwards
of So 100000 greater. The entire loss by
marine disasters in the month of December
last, was So, ,3o6,7 ,735. The above amount
included 3 steamers, AZ ships, AZ barks,
% brigs, and 81 schooRers. Rf this proper
ty was insured, as most of it undoubtedly
was, many thousands perhups millions, OF
persons bore the loss, each one uffrrine
u little; whereas if no insuran ce had beea'
effected, many persons would have suffer-
ed business ruin, VIZ nile OF hers would have
been seriously crippled tn their affairs of
lite.
