emburg, the bone of contention" in Europe
1t now seems, by the last European adyioes,
that the Peace Conference in London has
agreed upon plan of settlement, and the
threatened war OYER the little Duchy, be-
tween France and Prussia, has been averted,
for the present at least But knowing ones
say that both countries have l" got their backs
up, notwithstanding the Peace Conference.
The terms Of settlement are these France con-
sents to give all claims to the annextion of lux
emburg to her dominons, and Prussia with
draws her troops from the fortress within a
month. Luxemburg is thus left an indepcn-
dent State, and the Luxemburgers can eat

We sometimes hear persons object to patro-
nlzlng outside Institutions, for the reason, that
they draw away money that might be better
used at home. This is sound objection, when
applied to those who are continually receiving
our money, and returning us none. But such
is not always the case. As an exception, we
refer to the HTNA LIFE INSURANCE Co. It's
agent, Mr.. Story, has shown us the following
certificates for losses paid in our State and
Maryland during the last four months:
Chas. Il. Haipes, Port Deposit, $4,000
VIM. McGowan, Baltimore, 5000

Besides several smaller insu1ances making
the aggregate, returned during short time
over FIFTY Thousand dollars. Notwitkstand-
ing these, and other losses in different parts of
the country, the affairs of the company have
been 50 ably conducted, and its business has
been so extended, that it has been enabled to
give as large dividend as any company in the
United States, and to apply it to the reduction
of premiums earlier thaN 0ay other; therefore

JEFF. DAVIS RELEASED. The great theme
of pnblic interest for the present. is the release
of Jefferson Davis at Richmond, on Monday.
He was handed over to the civil authorities by
General Burton, of Fortress Monroe, under a
writ of hdbeas corpus. He was taken into the
u. s. District Court room in Richmond, and
for short time occupied, as prisoner of war,
the room he occupied for an office as Presi-
dent of the defunct Confederate States. So great
was the crowd gathered to see him go from the
Spottswood House to the Court room that he
had to be taken from rear entrance. A num-
Der OF notorious personageS were present in
the Court room. The court was opened
Judge Underwood on the bench, and Charles
O'Conner and Geo. Shea acting as counsel for
prisoner, ard WW. NJ. Evarts and District At
torney Chandler for the Government. The
prisoner was handed over to the custody of the
court, VIXEN BIS counsel asked that he be releas
edOp bail until such time as the court could try
him, which was granted by the court. Eigh-
teen gentlemen then entered his bail in the
sum Of $4,000 each, Horace Greeley being the
FIRST Oh the list, after Davis himself. Two
more are to enter for like sum, Gerrat Smith
being one Gf them, thus making his bail $780,
900. John Minor Bolts also BECAME one of
the securities After Davis's release he greet
