It is asserted that some curious revelations will shortly be made with respect to the system adopted of reassurance. They arise out of a policy effected with a company on the life of an eccentric character, whose habits are alleged to have been irregular. It seems that the policy effected was for the sum of 16,000/., the office taking the life, and reassuring about 16,000/. Now the amount of the policy is claimed some of the offices have agreed to pay, while others as strenuously refuse. Although an extra rate was charged at the time of the insurance, circumstances have since been brought to light which, if stated in the original proposal, would, it is averred, never have been accepted. The office issuing the policy being left to its remedy with those refusing to pay, the case will, it is expected, be brought forward in the courts of law.—Daily Heirs.

This the Prince was pleased to do, and thus the present of these pipes was made and accepted personally, and in the same manner as testimonies of friendship and courtesy are exchanged between sovereign and high person- ages at all Courts."

A story comes from Ruatan, via New Orleans, stating that when the 'people heard of the ratification of the treaty transferring them to Hon- duras, they held an indignation meeting, declared themselves independent, and were about to frame a constitution. Is not this a case for the applica- tion of the policy which supports nationalities in distress ?

Religious riots ought to be rare where religious equality is the law of the land : yet in New South Wales we have recently had one, because the people themselves arc not as liberal as the laws they live under. The Reverend Mr. M'Intjre, a rather hot-headed Presbyterian Minister, gave offence to the Catholics of Maitland, at a Rublie political meeting, by styling their religion "baptized heathenism." the Catholic Dean retorted on him in a rather exciting sermon, delivered to his flock. Mr. M'Intyre, nothing loath for a wrangle, advertised a lecture in his church in reply. The irri- tated Catholics resolved that his lecture should not be delivered. They sur- rounded the church on the evening in question, mobbed the lecturer and his family on their arrival, severely injuring one of them, smashed the church windows, broke up the fences, and, having succeeded in thus pre- venting the meeting, retired, paying as they went a few passing compli- ments to the windows of some of the most conspicuous of the reverend gentleman's followers. This outrage, of course, moved all the Protestant zeal of the township. A monster meeting was held to claim a large body of rights of freedom of speech. The Government sent down

police, with the Inspector-General at their head; some hundreds of special

constables were sworn in ; and the lecture was re-advertised for delivery The Catholic Archbishop went down in person to aid in tranquillizing the feelings of the excited Catholics, and issued a pastoral, entreating them to bear insult meekly. And so the lecture was at length delivered inpeace. The ringleaders iu the riot have been committed to take their trial.—.Letter from Slielnt g.

The Marquis de Vilette, who died last year, bequeathed a large property to the Bishop of Moulins. -The will is disputed by the next of kin, on the ground that the gift was clothed with a secret trust not allowed by French law, the trust being moreover—but this in a legal point of view is unim- portant—in favour of the Count de Chambord. The case will be heard next week at Clermont ; M. Berryer is counsel for the bishop, and M. Mane for the family.

The Pope's Irishry are astonishing the natives. The Wanderer of Vienna publishes a letter from Ancona, dated the 6th, which says :—" The Irish yesterday had a fight among themselves, and wounded some of the gendarmes who interfered to separate them. The delegate has hitherto treated the Irish like princes, and their pretensions are, in consequence, un- bounded. Every soldier insists on having his own room, table, &c. It is to be feared that, after all, the Pontifical Government will be under the necessity of requesting the Irish to go home again."

On the 31st of May, the chaplain of the Irish battalion and one of its offi- cers were robbed on the road between Loretto and lliacerata. The sum taken from them was 1800 scudi, and it is even said that the robbers stripped them to the skin.
