(From the Liverpool Mai, august, 10

The Royal Insurance Company is de-
servcdly among the foremost of. those re-
markably successful joint-stock enter
prizes Of which Liverpool is proverbialIy
proud. All great, cautions, we'll con-
Quoted Insurance Establishments in par
ticular, may be regarded as fulfilling
most useful and invaluable functions, not
only in this Country but more or less
throughout our magnificent colonies and
Dependencies, if not throughout the world.
But 1t is the rare fortune offeW of them
steadily 10 achieve such a height of pros
perlty and stability as the "Royal" has
attained TO within the comparatively
short period of twenty-five years from its
formation, notwithstanding the unpar-
alIeled monetary pressure of last year,
and the consequent commercial depreS-
sion under which the entire commercial
world STILL sutfers-above all, notwith-
standing the long and trying period of
over three years, during which Fireshaye
been much more numerous than in any
former like period, and consequently have
involved a larger amount of losses to the
entire body of Insurance Companies
notwithstanding all these exceptional
drawbacks, we say, the prudentIy mar
aged "Royal' remains proudly pre-emi-
nent,-a great and durable monument Of
commercial stability and financial securitv.
On looking at the Report" which
was presented at its Annual Meeting yes
terday we ind that, with one exception,
no other Insurance Establishment in the
three kingdoms has paid the same in
crease Of Fire Duty TO Government as the
'fRoyal' has paid for,the past year. In
other aspects also, which are perhaps
best glanced at under their several heads,
we find most gratifying features which
are not merely negatively but positively
encouraging. 1t is a proud spectacle to
behold a large Insurance Establishment
not only passing substantially .unscathed
through a period of>unusual losses to all
Insurance Companies and of peculiar
disaster to not a few, and not only retain
ing public confidence mistaken and un-
diminished, but positively increasing its
business year after. year until its ratio of
progeSsivenesS seems to surmount all
momentary obstacles and to flow natural
ly EDWARDS like a majestic flood tide.

Barbados Agricultural Reporter, august 20.J

The Emperor Napoleon has acquired
much popularity with the workmen of
Paris by building at a cost of 100000,
forty-eight model houses. for workmen in
Paris and making them over as a free gift
to a cooperative society of workmen.
On the 25th July, the Emperor of Aus
tria was invested with the Order of the
Garter bya special embassy sent for the
purpose to Vienna. The Gear has also
been invested in q similar manner.

Aihe age of IA or Is years, who could read and
write well but in this Island very few are
met with that know anything at that age, and
! in the 18th year nothing whatever.
The Governor pointed out the difference be-
tween the rural schools in the English Islands,
where tuition is paid for, and the system here
adopted of public and gratis schools. In the
former the number of children is limited and
the parents themselves must be interested in
the progress of the children whereas here the
attendance at School is irregular, added to
which the number of children is at times too
great for the teachers. He maintained, that
the result, when taking the relations into consl-
d~eration, was as good as could be expected he
regretted, that the members of the School
Commissions so seldom visited the annual ex-
aminations, and recommended them to attend
those about soon to be held. 1t is not to be
wondered at, and not the fault of the school, if
a child quitting school at his 18th year and
not pursuing his reading, has forgotten what he
had learnt, when attaining the age Of II years.
The 1st member for Christiansted's town
fClindinen) mentioned the superficial %instruc-
ton the children received in the rural schools,
and stated as an instance, that a boy who read
a certain part, of a book very fuently, when
referred to another part of the same book could
neither spell nor read the first word Brethren"
The 1st member for .Frederiksted's town
(Sarauw( observed, that His Excellency should
have stated the age of 10 years when the
children cease frequenting the rural schools, as
the instruction to their 18th year in the Satur-
day-schools in reality signified nothing. He
added, that at the examinations he had been
personally convinced of, that not few of the
children attending the rural schools read any
English book given them but these children
are almost exclusively those that have been
Monitors and as such benefited by the %instruc-
ton till their 10th year.
The case was referred for the 2nd discussion.

"OPENINCS" FOR BUSINESS.


A city is a hard place for a poor man, and
New-York, because it is constantly flooded
with the needy of both hemispheres, is the hard
est of all; yet we are confident that, for one
who unites brains with means, there is hardly
another spot of earth which proffers such OPP
pOrtunities for making money usefully as this
city of New-York. Let lis illustrate by in
stances:
]. The supplying of Food TO our people is
still in very primitive condition among US.
1t ought to be, but is not much cheaper to buy
q good family dinner ready cooked than to
make fire and cook one. Our iirst-class
restaurants charge more than they 0ught-wit-
ness 30 to 81 cents for cup Of tea-our cheap
eating-houses often combine bad cookery with
dirt, and charge preposterOus piiees-say 90
cents for pint and a half of milk and dozen
Boston crackers-which cost them, at the out
side, u cents. But the facilities for cheap and
good feeding have yet TO be created. Let MS
suggest them:
Erect q large house, at least 100 feet square,
on wide and thronged street, not far from
our dense hives of population. Fit up its eel
lar and vaults as stOre-rOOms, and fill its base
ment with the best cooking ranges, utensils,
and steaming apparatus. Divide the ground
floor into an apartment for the sale of every
variety of cooked food to those who choose to
eat il at home, and large eating rooms for those
who want cheap meals. Have more cOmmOdious
and airy saloons above for those who require
more elegance and comfort, and can pay for
them. Devote the third story TO private rooms
for parties, and rent the upper lofts for lodg-
ings. Thus facilities may be created for feed
ing several thousands of people on the premises,
and very many more in their homes Employ
at least three capable buyers-One of meats,
another Of fruits, and third Of groceries.
Buy always in large quantities for cash, deal
ing directly with producers IL possible. Buy
by the carcass, and use every part of il. Have
place whence everything left over till stale
shall be sold at reduced prices. Charge never
more than 20 per cent, profit, and on articles
ON which there is no risk of loss by decay 10
per cent. .'.-r 'r
Such q concern, under capable management,
with q head cook who can earn 5000 year,
would sell $4,000 worth of food per day, pay
100000 per annum for rent, as much for sala-
riss and labor, and leave 100000 net profit to
its manager, after feeding many Thousands of
people at least quarter cheaper than they are
now fed. II could sell poor man two quarts
Of rich, nourishing soup, and loaf Of bread

TO well doing; since twenty such establishments
could be kept in full activity now. and there
would soon be demand for hundred within
dozen miles of our City Hall
III. The next want that clamors for supply Ii
that of Cheap Conveyances. You want TO ride
out to and take turn in the Central Park, ana
don't want TO cut swell there. A good horse
carefui driver and light cab, are the sum OF
your desires and you ought to be afforded these
for 81 per hour. Instead of this, you must
take t,oo horses, numbering coach, and probably
some insoIence, for which you are made to pay at
nnce to railway statiOn-say, a mile from your
lodgings-the charge is seldom less than 81, and
whenever you will stand it, or can't help your
self, it will be S3 Quiet people generally pre-
fer to walk whenever they possibly can, rather
than encounter the extortion and the impudence
wherewith it is insisted on. The carriage
owners suffer by this atrocity, but they make
the public suffer still more A company invest
ing 81 100000 in light one-horse vehicles
nimble horses, and hiring civil drivers who
would never overcharge, might have all the
custom it could take, and at prices which
would pay it at least twenty per cent. per
annum. Charges of so cents for taking one
person and 81 for family any distance short
of full mile, would pay them largely, while
a long -swindlcd public would Irise up to call
them blessed.
These must suffice for to-day. New-York
is fearfully overcrowded with those who want
to sell goods keep books, or teach music; but
those who combine capacity with capital can
still find more than enough to do.

After three days debate i'll the Massachu-
sets Legislature the Liquor License bill has
been appropriately crushed by 16l Nays to GA
Yeas. The principle of prohibition, as en-
bodied in the present safe law, is therefore
stronger than ever, and the agents of liquor
must accept this decision as final. Virtually,
there remains little else to do than to see that
the law as it stands is, as it can and should
be, generally and vigorously enforced. Hence,
on all accounts, the Rum Convention which is
to meet at Albany in September will miss the
evil encouragement of such an example as that
of Massachusetts giving herself up TO the moral
debaucheIy of License.

The Democrats of Maryland have been -
far wrought upon by common sense as to de-
clare in new Bill Of Rights, just put forth by
their Constitutional Convention, that no per-
" son shall be deemed incompetent as witness
" on account of race or COLOR We anticipate
the passage Of this clause by the Convention,
though we are aware that in Committee eleven
were for and ten against the proposition In
body where it was possible to find member
still so hard-headed as to object to simple
declaration against the existence of Slavery,
evon this result must be regarded as mark OF
progress. Compared to what should be done.
it is the most stinted and mean of advances.
But if it seems only an inch to Radicals, it is
an oil to the lesther-headed class of Maryland
Conservatives.
