10000.

They have not been hndered from this prudent course by the
consideration that when their Guarantee Account was last investigated
it was found that, for a period of six years, the Company had paid
fSs,934 IS. sd. more, in the shape of Premium to its Guaranteeing
connection, than it received in amount of Claims.
1t would, however, be inconsistent with true stability of purpose
(which should remain unmoved by accidental or erratic resultS) if the
Directors were drawn from a prudent course of action by any expert
ence of this kind, covering a limited space of time only.
Before passing from the subject of the Fire Department, the Di-
rectors would draw brief attention to the favourable effect which would
be produced if a judicial investigation were permitted by legal authority
on the occurrence of fires. tt satisfactory to know that a widespread
opinion has recently arisen throughout the country that a measure of
this character would be attended with the happeSt results. Such a
system exists, more or less, in many of the Continental cities and the
natural consequence is, that the ratio of fires in several of them is far
less than in the cities and large towns of this kingdom, and that the
protection of Insurance can therefore be obtained at a much less rate of
premium. This is, however, more a general than al exclusively lnsur-
ance question as it effects the whole body of the nation. A we-dgest-
ed Act of Legislature for this purpose would materially increase the
general security of life and property, and would ultimately tend to
reduce the Premium for Insurance to an extent which, unless the subject
were duly weighed and examined, would scarcely be imagined.

the actual amount being e499,1 24 As. Sd, a sum larger than the total
amount assured for the entire year commencing the last qunquennial
period, SO that, at any rate for one further year, the impetus of continued
advance is not likely to slacken. In this Department the Shareholders
and Poicyholders have the opportunity, of which it is trusted they will
avail themselves, not only to keep up the high position Of the ROYAL"
their part, It'll is confidently affirmed, would so tell upon the permanent

which does not show an advance quite corresponding in comparative
amount with the increase of Duty. This, it should be explained, arises
in some measure from the fact that the Directors, seeing and foreSeeng
for some time the unfavorable epoch of Fir. Insurance business we are
passing through, voluntarily surrendered a portion of their accruing
advances of Premium for the purpose of protecting themselves by
guarantee from undue limits on any one risk.
Hence in no small degree they consider they owe their exemption
from any very large claim on any single Insurance during the year.

TURNING now to the Life Branch, it remains to be reported
that the progress has been marked by unchecked success. This Will
be made clear by one o two statistical expesitions.

policy was acted upon by the Democratic
members Of Congress during the last scs-

A curious and valuable historical relic
was discovered on Tuesday ut tho Spugue
Mill. In saving a maple log from very
old tree the worku,en observed That the saw
cut through pine plug, which WINS cnre-
fully drawn out and with It small piece Of
paper bearing tho marks Of age, having on
Il this writing: "l775 J. B. Dunkirk. will,
Arnold" The writing appears to ho in
pencil The paper Is OF tho usual make Of
the last century, aud Is undoubtedly gen.
uine. In the lapse Of time since It was do
posted. the tree has grown so rs to cover
the spot completely, and tho outer plank
was whole and bore no trace Of tho treasure
within. The head Of the plug was some
eight inches beneath tho bark. aud about
ninety grains were counted outside Of it,
The log was purchased Of gentleman re-
siding in Sidney, AMI II is supposed was cut
in that town. 1t is to bc hopd that this

The condition ofthe Southern Estates"
from all accounts which reach us, is very
fiauering. A few blatant rebels like Rob.
bert Toombs and Gov. Junkins Of Georgia,
arc working against the acceptance Of the
acts Of Congress by tho people, but such
men are few, ostensibly, and ofbut little in
fluencc. But supposing they are innuen'
tial and succeed in forcing upon tho south
em whites and land owners tho ''do-noth'
ing.policy;" the registration will proceed
by act Of Congress, a State will DO organ
lied, the blacks will adopt the "do-some-
thing.policy," and those refractory chaps
will be compelled to dance to fiddling,
by no means gentle. Power In tho hands
Of those unused to il is always at first arbi-
trary and more or less excessive. There is
prospect that the new power to arise in
the South and control its legislatures, will
not be very tender Of rebel feelings or pro-
mo,ers Of rebel interests, and tho radical.
ism Of Congress will DO mercifdlly conserv-
alive compared with the ra,lcalism Of
Southern Republicans. These legislatures
will eco that the burdens Of taxation are
principally laid upon the real estate, and all
deficiencies to pay those taxes Immediately
viii be met by shcrif's sale. Tho sup
port Of the poorlwill bc thrown upon real
csta,c the support Of schools, and the
care ofthc highways will be paid for by
the real estate, AMI what Congre IS fails To
do to make those States republican in form
and substance, VIC can rest assured this new
power will do; and il is not beyond the
hounds Of possibility that these rebels may
be obliged to invoke the aid Of Congress to
protect them from conscription and con-
fisca,ion beside which "Thad. Stevens,

Junkins, and other boobies will persist 10
keeping out Of the ark, they can expect, as
