Of Prussian officers by the French autho-
rites at Thionville, and of the arrest of

These reports are declared to be without

1t is announced that the Emperor and

TO Kissingen TO drink the waters, and
thence will visit the Paris Exhibition.
The Presse of this evening aIludcs TO
some amour of the resignation of

TO have been caused by a difference of
opinion between the Count and the King
Of Prussia, the latter being unwilling to
accept the evacuation of Luxembourg on

re the Editor of the st CrOix ''Avis."
Dear Sir!

Having noticed in your last No., a
leader in which you called attention TO an
announcement in said paper respecting a
new Life Company here, offering rates
at nearly fifty per Cent. below the
charges of European Offices, [ beg leave
in Justice TO the Company | have the
honor to represent, to remark, that the
Company ia question being a "Mutual'
one. and their rates therefore based on
quite other calculations cannot be COM
pared with the ''Proprietary' or "MiXed"
Companies, Of which latter class all the
other Life Offices doing business in 81.
Croix are, but can only be compared with
other "MutuaI" offices of which no other
exists here.
Agreeable to Insurance Guide and
Hand book page 2O3, the outlines of a
mutual Society more particularly with
respect to the extent of liability incurred
by the members is presented as follows:
ssIf a Mutual Assurance Institution
consists of 1000 members assured for
$1,000 each, every policy holder is the
assurer of 1-999lh Zone nine hundred
and ninety nin,h) part of 9999,0O0,
whilst he is himself assured for $1,000 by
00S OtuC
And page 2O4 Ill is doubted whe-
Their the advantages Of Mutual Assurance
Companies are not more than birIanced
by the disadvantages incident to such
establishments, from the consideration,
that every one being q partner In The
concern, has not ouly his W life insured,
but is part insurer of the lives of ali
other members, and may in this c"paci-
tv, should the affairs of the society get
into disorder, incur some very serious re-
sponsihility."
Now "the Royal" being on the "Mix-
ed" principle, comprises the advantages
Of both the "mutual' and the ''proprleta-
~" offices. Whilst the assured are *
empted from all risks, as in proprietary
offices, they share with the proprietors,
as in the mutual Offices, the greatest part
ca Of the profits, which hitherto have
amounted to 2 PCT. on the amount assur-
ed, SO that a policy long kept up, will
nearly at its expiration amount with
bonuses 10 a sum equal TO the premiums
paid. This system has been considered
SO advantageous that most of the proprl-
>etary offices are now working upon the
mixed system, so that the proportion of
mixed 10 mutual offices is as 5 to 1, while
Of the proprietary offices only Two or
three existed in 1857, when the above
mentioned work on Insurance was edited.
