Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 80 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact hat the
lives of persons residing in this part OF
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabitiug
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows

the negotiations were interrupted by Bis
marck's refusal to permit the revictualling
of Paris during the term of the armistice,
and he shows that without such a conces-
sion the armiS'ice would amount to a con-

In spite ofaIl this, Mr.. Gladstone stated
day before yesterday at the Lord Mayors
dinner that the Ministers still hoped that
a just and durable peace may yet be es-
tablished-"IO this conSummation ENGLAND
was determined to contribute" In confirm
alton of this, a correspondent at Brussels
informs that there were new arrangements
on the taps for an arbitration in the Fran
co-Prussian questions by England, Au-
stria, Russia and Italy, and that the terms
would in all likelihood be acceptable alike
to France and TO Prussia. The initiative,
looking to the assembling of g congress
upon the subject, had been taken by
Russia.
The fortresses of Verdun and Neuf
Breisach had surrendered, but as these
events had been already "~discounted"
they do not amount to a great deal, ex-

been destroyed by Paladine's victory over
Won der Tam.
Numerous outpost engagements are re-
ported around Paris during the past few
days, terminating In favor of the Parisians.
The correspondent Of the London Times,
writing from Berlin, says a sharp reply
had been returned to Austria in response
to her note offering mediation, on the
ground that Austria, having armed at the
beginning of the war, is disqualified now
to act as a neutral-"Prussia's relations
with Austria and Russia are not such as

Our State elections on the 9th instant

Jamaica.
The following opinions have been obtained
regarding the climate of Jamaica as suitable for
Invalids and others of delicate constitution;
and being from the highest Medical Authorities
in the Country they, may be received and en-
tertained as the councils of experienced Physi-
clans:
The Hon. DR.. Bowerbank's Opinion.
"There can be no doubt, that where a pre-
disposition to tubercular or scrofulous disease
exists, a residence here will often completely
check It's further development, and even dur
ing the earlier stages Of tubercular~ consumption,
If It's progress is not arrested, life is often pro-
longed, and the disease Invested of much of it's
suffering.
"The Island from its position, and from its
great irregularity of surface, presents a vast
variety of climates so much so, that for mere
change of climate, an Invalid need scarcely quit
its shores.
"The Island contains several Mineral Springs,
one of which is thermal, and has been found of
great service 10 the treatment of Rheumatic,
Gouty, and Cutaneous affections. Another of
these Springs is, an Aluminous Chalybeate, is
situate in the higher Mountains, in a most de-
lightful climate and were it better known and
more accommodation afforded, I have little
doubt that many suffering from impaired health,
the result Of a long and continued residence in
the lowlauds, might from its use, be restored to
health in lieu of undertaking an expensive, and
too often announcement transatlantic trip be-
sides which, | do not think, we're the virtue of
the Spring its mild and delicious climate, its
Grand and Magnificent Scenery, made known,
that it would be too much to expect that
lnvalids from other countries 10 search of that
greatest of all blesSing-HEALrH-would be in
duced to visit this fair spot in this LAND of
Springs"
DR.. Campbell's Opinion.

DR.. Campbell's Opinion.

The effects of residence in Jamaica on Eu-
ropeans and Americans is usually beneficial,
especially on those who are predisposed to scro-
tula or pulmonary consumption, or who have
evlnced a peculiar tendency to colds and chro-
meal affections during the winter months. In
such cases the general health and physical ener-
gies usually undergo a rapid and marked change,
resulting in permanent good health"
, 1870-11-29
DR.. Duan's Opinion.

Americans and Europeans will find a climate
here more cOngeniel to them, and one in which
they can carry on all the laborious exertious to
which they have been accustomed. The Island
possesses all the advantages that man can desire
for every industrial purpose. The slight deri-
walton of temperature experienced during the
entire year, and the regular alienation of the
aes and land breezes, which modify it, render
the island a most desirable residence for ipvalide.
