The course pursued by your
Companies in the Adjustment

claims, and, 80 far as we know,
ALL claims for Losses in the
great fire in Chicago, has been
so highly honorable, prompt
and straightforw ard, and
marked by such apparent de-
sire to deal justly toward all
parties, under all circun1-
stances, that we desire volun-
tarily to acknowledge it to the
business~p public. We conceive
that no stronger test could be
made, both OF tho RESPONSE
bility and Of the integrity Of
an Insurance organization,
than yours has passed through
here successfully md credit
ably, With al unimpaired
Capital and undiminished: re-
sponsibi]ity, and a: record for
equitable settlement, certainly
surpassed by none, we con-
gratlllate you on the career Of

your actions here. have: SO

FAREWELL OF THE BRITISH GRENADIER
GUARDS BAND.

Dan Godfrey and his merry men bade long fare
well to America last night at the Academy Of Music
Their reception was even more OF an ovation than
that which they received at the Boston barn. The
Academy was actually crammed to sunocation, not
vacant seat to be had and but little standing
room. 1t reminded one OF the old Wachtcl and
Parepa-Rosa nights No greater proof could be
given Of the wonderful fondness for music infe-
rent In New Workers than the presence OF such an
audience on hot July night. We have already, in
criticisms the Boston Jubilee, spoken at length
regarding the charac Of the playing of this
superb band, and these qualities were shown in
their best light when displayed in house worthy OF
them. The programme comprised the overtures Of
"Der Freischutz" and "ROb ROy,n pOfpOurris OF the
operas OF Meyerbeer and Verdi, an admirable seIec-
ton of Irish melodies and two OF GOdrey's favorite
waltZes, ''The Mabel" and "The Bridesmaids.u
These selections were magnfcently rendered. and
the audience appauded to the eclio Never since
the Academy was built was there such scene of
excitement when the band played the 'Star-
Spangled Banner, and "God Save the Queen.n
Each seemed to think that on him alone depended
the ratification OF the Treaty or Washington, and
tornado OF applause was the consequence After
the concert Dan Godfrey, Lieutenant Colonel
Fludyer and the principal artists OF the band were
entertained at the Arcadan Club, the leading band
masters Of the metropolis being present. The
band leaves for England to-day by the Inman
steamer City OF Limerick.

The Wrath OF the Panama Authorities
Against the United states-Thc Ameri-
can Vice Consups Life Threatened.
ALBANY, N. Y, July 8, 1872
Mr. Charles Erasmus Perry, United States Consul
to AsplnwaIl, now here at his home, has received
advces from his Vice Consul to the effect that there
is no change in the Edgar Stuart matter. Notwith-
standing the positive order issued by the Governor
OF Panama that the American forces on board the
Stuart should be removed as early as possible, the
forces remain and will continue to do 30. Great
efforts have been made by the Panama authorities
to get control OF the vessel. but the Vice Consul
stands firmly against these efforts. He has had his
life threatened and has notified the authorities that
he will defend himself with arms against any attack
made upon him.
Mr. Perry will leave for his Consulate on the next
steamer.
