RaaHIS Society, which confines its bust
"a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. Its scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate 10 provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
Gent to create large SURPRISES. out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period Of 81 years,
has clearly demonstrated The fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required 10 assure 500,
for the whole term, upon a single life =
, 1867-07-19

Assurances of every description on sim
gle lives are granted by the Society for
any sum from 100 Dollars to 10, 1000 Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half
yearly, or Yearly, at the option of the
Assured.
Assures wishing to discontinue the
payment of their Premiums, may either
dispose of their Policies to the Society
upon equitable terms, or obtain a free
Policy for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof Of such death has been re-
ceived by the Society.
Strict Investigations into the position
of the. Society are made quinquennialIy,
and the surplus then existing is allotted 10
the Members, after a sufficient sum has
been set aside for the purposes of the
Reserve Fund. The next investigation
and Division of Profits, will take place at
the .31st December, 1870.
The Society has Agencies in neatly all

of this town, in order that they should in
some way or other, obtain, at least, a
meal on the suspicious occasion the
Silver-Wedding-day Of Our truly-esteem-
ed and-much beloved King and Queen.
We regret, however, that the example of
''the Widows Mite" were not more gen.
orally practised, and the Committee would
have been enabled to distribute more
meat and a half-bottle of claret to each,
This could have been effected without
running the parsimonIous pockets Of
many, even of those persons in ordinary
circumstances; I II 100 persons more
had given, say, 20 cculs each, a sum of
twenty dollars would have been added to
the amount; and we are quite certain
that Of the names which do not appear on
the Subscriptiou-LiSt, such a number in
this community could be easily found
and there are parties who could have
given 10 cents and 5 cents, by which
means a larger amount would have been
raised. We like to see unity and harmo-
ny for it is in this manner that many
churches in this island and elsewhere have
been rebuilt and remoddled. The Catholic
church, the former English church and
the MOfavian church were rebuilt partly
by cent subscriptions taken up weekly.
This is the way to give charity and lend
assistance. No one should or would rob
himself or his creditors for charitable pur-
poses; but let every body give always
what they can for we know that what
is given to the Poor is lent to the Lord
and to those whom the Lord has blessed
with much, a little of that "much" should
be excepted.
We will not dwell on the charity of
becoming the pulpit than the press;
therefore we will at once state how the
little which was at the disposal of the
Committee were distributed. The mem
bers of the Poor, or rather those who re-
ceive a monthly pension from the Public
Fund-194 in number-received each one
pound and a quarter of beef, seven cents
in money and two cents bread. When
they were supplied, other people, to the
number of 106, were served 10 portions
TO what was left = some one pound
and a half-Some one pound and some a
half pound, with seven cents or five cents.
In conclusion we beg to remark that
everything was conducted in a nice and
smooth manner, and thanks must be re-
turned, first to the liberal donors, for their
charitable aid, then 10 the Police Assist
ant, Mr.. Idskovdammen, and Mr.. A. Mac
Gregor, for their kind services in helping
the undertakers Of the Appeal, as we'll as
to Mr.. George Behagen for kindly grant
ing permission to use his yard, where the
things were distributed, also to Mr.. Angus
tus Williams and Mr.. Moses Williams, not
forgetting Mr.. Thomas Furey and some
others, for their valuable services.
Here follow the Appeal, the names of
the Subscribers and the manner in which
the Funds were expended:

Ignored

OK Monday afternoon last, August 5, Michael
McAnany, paper stainer, residing at No. 731
South Seventh street, went before Alderman
Beitler at the Central Station, and testified as
follows:-
"On July IA proceeded to the fire on South
street, below Seventh, While was standing
near our engine (the Hope), talking to some OF
our men about the steamers not being in SER
vice, Alderman McMullin caught hold of me
and told me to leave. He had hold of me by the
oat-collar, and dragged me some distance. say
ing that If didn't go away he would put
humble bees around my head.' 1 did not say
anything to him. He also told me that he
would break my jaw"
On this testimony, as foundation, bill
was sent in to the Grand Jury, and yesterday
afternoon it was returned to Court ignored. As
the only evidence that could legally be given
before the Grand Jury is that which was
elected from Mr.. McAnany at the preliminary
hearing, the public may experience some diff
Guilty in discovering the grounds on which this
bill was so treated. Further comment is un-
necessary.

TIE PAPAL sUooBssroN.- Courier DIES
Flats Unts finds the recent cable despatch
which names Monsigneur Dupanloup as the
most probable successor of Plus TX "dssez in
oonlpTehens'bte." Our last news from Rome
did not mention any alarming change in
the Holy Fathers health II is true that the
common people Of Rome expect him to die very
soon, but their belief is based on the old ira
dition that no Pope can hold his Office for
twenty-five years until the last days of the
world, and would hardly warrant the Sacred
College in caballing at present for the success
sion. Besides, the chances of the French pre-
late in any event are very slight, Tue eldest
son of the Church would of course do all he
could for him. But there are quarters in
which Napoleon's influence is more potent than
in the Sacred College. That body has got into
the habit of giving its suffrages, firstly, to
cardinal, and secondly, to an Italian Monsig.
neHr, Dupauloup is neither the one nor the
other. Even If Plus should benevolently give
him the red hat, his unfortunate nativity would
probably be enough to defeat him.

THE INCREASE OF INsANITY.-Our high pres
sure civilization has its disadvantages and dan.
gers, which it is well not to forget. One is that
the teverish activities it encourages are often
too much for the brain, whose fine structure too
often yields to overwork or undue excitement.
This evil is alarmingly on the increase, both
here and on the other side of the Atlantic. Last
year the London Medical Times and Gazette
reported that the number OF the insane in Eng
land had increased twenty one per cent. in FIVE
years, while the population had only increased
five per cent. In France the case was still worse.
The number of the insane increased forty per
cent. in five years, while the population only
increased two per cent. That is to say, the
French are twice as crazy as the English. Per-
haps a Frenchman would retort as Robert Hull
did, when some fool asked him what brought him
to an insane asylum:-"What will never bring
you here, sir-too much brains" The Pail Mall
Gazette takes up this subject afresh, and con-
firms what the Medical Journal had said as to
the alarming increase of insanity. II estimates
that in England mental diseases have gained
on the population to the extent of at least three
per cent. per annum since 1859. The present
ratio of the insane to the population it puts at
one to every four hundred and ten. In the
whole of Great Britain there is the greatest
amount of insanity in England and the least in
Ireland, probably because in the former there
is the greatest mental activity and the most high
living. In this country it is a conceded fact
that insanity has increased considerably in the
last ten years. Nowhere in the world is the
strain on the mental organization greater or
more intense than here, where the work of a
generation is done in a year.
