LATEST FROM TORONTO.Toronto, May 23, 1867.The body of a man unknown was found washed ashore on Burlington beach yesterday.It is supposed to have been in the water three months.On account of rain yesterday the races at St.Catherines were postponed till to-day For the trotting race for 300 dollars three horses were entered last night.\u201c Toby,\u201d \u201c Crazy Jane \u201d and \u201c St.Lawrence.\u201d There were three entries for the yueen\u2019s plate.A despatch from St.Catherines to-day says : On account of the un- favorably jstato .oLthe weather the race ban, been again postponed until June 18.An announcement has been made to this effect by the Secretary, Mr.James Douglas.All strangers are leaving town.It has been raining steady for two days, and the track is in such a condition that races, if attempted, would give no satisfaction, nor be any proper test of tile horses\u2019 merits.An incendiary flra took place yesterday in the Brantford grocery store.Mr.Hurst was damaged to the extent of 3,000 dollars.Mr.Capreol is reported to have received a telegram from a gentleman of influence in the English stock market, giving him assurance that as one half of the Georgian Bay Canal stock has been taken by American capitalists the remainder would be promptly taken in England.Markets quiet and dull, few or no sales reported.The Bikth of tub New Dominion.\u2014We have an official telegram announcing that Her Majesty\u2019s Proclamation has appeared, and that it fixes the 1st of July as the day from whence the new Confederation of British North America is to date.BANQUST TO BON, MR.GALT.Yesterday we gave a summary by tele-graph of the proceedings at the banquet given to Mr.Galt at Lennoxville.The dinner, (which was highly creditable to the caterer Mr.Clark, of Clarke\u2019s Hotel, Len.noxville,) having concluded, -Mr.JOHN H.POPE, M.P.P., said it had been ;d the duty which had been devolved upon him, to preside at this meeting.They would not expect a long speech, as he was sure that they would be satisfied that all matters in which they felt an interest would be explained by his friends on the right and left (Mr.Galt and Mr.Cartier ) He had been reluctant to accept the position because he he was yonng in years, and he saw those around him who had grown grey in the service of their country, and seeing and knowing this, hut knowing also the generosity of his friends and that they would pardon any short comings of which he might be guilty, and and render him every assistance necessary, he had accepted the position.(Cheers ) He thought at the same time it wag an opportune occasion for these young gentlemen who had entered the room to listen to the words they would hear there from various speakers They were ready to begintfie jyorld, their opinions were about to be formed, j ust as the country was about to start in a new career, and he Quebiïc, May 23, 1867.\t( thanked God that that was the case.(Cheers.) Baining all morning ; afternoon clear and When a policy is now to be formed, it seems a man, and unless our new Constitution had provided for fair play in that respect, it would have been impossible to have worked thnt Union aright.(Cheers.) At the time the resolutions were passed at Quebec, certain engagements were entered into with the Government by my hon.friend Mr.Cartier, guaranteeing that the rights of the British inhabitants of Lower Canada should be respected.I think that pledge was honorably redeemed by the Government when the Bill of last Session was brought in by the Hon.Mr.Langevin.I need not refer to the oppositiou that was made to that measure ; but I can say that it was contrary to all the efforts of Mr.Cartier, and other members of the Government, who never ceased one moment in their desire to carry that hill through.(Hear, hear.} It was not possible for the Government to do it, and certainly if my retiiement from the Government at that time and on that question, could have been understood to mean that I had withdrawn my confidence from the hon.gentlemen, I should have felt bound, whatever stigma might have attached to myself in consequence, to have stayed with them.(Cheers ) But 't'llTIWfng dial the! vinces.Their interests are identical in many^ respects, especially in the desire to remain con-1 nected with the British Crown.At the same time we cannot but see that the union of those interests would but produce what we most desire, a national feeling.We havd hitherto not had that degree of pride in! our land to induce us to make the sacri-1 fices necessary to promote its interests.! 11 do not intend to refer longer than I possibly c71fonTr^-p^r vjncesjWe are now next to theÜÏÏIted State^iu point of marine, and with the suicidal policy they are pursuing in matters of commerce, I do not hesitate to say, that in a very short time we shall exceed them in maritime strength' (Cheers) Wemay prove stronger at sea though weakest on shore.Our history is a history of commerce.Commerce is the life blood of na-tions, and.the country which possesses the con-trol of it is able to nirect the power of all others.^ We may have to make sacrifices to' arntain ourselves ; hut so long as we possess would be injurious to our best interests.The hon.gentleman then, observing on the lateness of the hour, said he should not further detain them ; merely added that the views he had expressed were those which he should endeavour to carry out if returned to the House of Commons ; but believing that the subject to which he had adverted would there sufficiently engage his attention, he would ask that he tpigltt' not be pqt in nomination for the local legislature.He sat down, having spoken for upwards of an hour, loudly cheered.The CHAIRMAN then briefly proposed the Administration, coupling with the toast the name of the non.U.;E Cartier, speaking in particular of the uniform fair play he had always given to every interest.Hon.Mr* C ARTIE it then rose to respond, being warmly cheered.He j apologized for his inability to address them as he should have done, In consequence of hoarseness brought about by the fact of his having had to reply to so many addresses since his return to Canada.Referring to the presence of a number of the college students, he said he was sure that when their time came, they would play their part in public life, far better than he played his.(Cheers and laughter).He continued; It is a great honor which has been done to me by inviting me to be present at this festive board this evening, more particularly as I do not represent the locality in which those present reside.At all events,when the name of my friend, Mr.Galt is mentioned, it ought not merely to be connected with the town of Sherbrooke, hut with the Eastern Townships, and with the Protestant population of Lower Canada (applause).You Protestants, you inhabitants of Lower Canada ought to feel proud that you have such an exponent of your ideas and of your thoughts, \u2014so honest, and able a man to be entrusted with your confidence.Thero are few localities so fortunate as you are.You have one of the best men that Canada has produced amongst its public men, (Applause).You have to represent your interests.a gentleman not only of Canadian reputation, and American reputation, but who has an English reputation.(Applause.) After paying a further high tribute to the ability ot Mr.Galt, who as a financier iu this country without any rival, aud referring also to the high position aud ability of the hon.gentleman\u2019s father, Mr.Cartier con.tinned : He (Mr.Galt) has been one of the first man to advocate the building of railways, and the understaking of public wokrs out of which he new that the prosperity of the country might be developed, and by which the coun-*ry.\u201c\"Kht* become permanently prosperous.Political life or administrative life is not a bed of roses.You cannot have roses without thorns, and administrative life has perhaps more thorns than roses.(Laughter.) At the same time for a member of any government to have such a colleague as Mr.Galt is certainly to place a rose amongst the thorns.The chairman in presenting my toast, and Mr.Galt also, was kind enough to allude to what they called\tmy\tliberal principles with regard to\tthe Protestant minority in Lower Canada.Well, I thank both of those gentlemen for the manner in which they have alluded to me iu that respect, and I thank you for the manner in which you have received the observations ; but iu that I have no merit.I have no merit at all.How can a statesman in Lower Canada pretend to he a statesman aud public man if he is not ready to act honestly and give equal justice to every origin, to every race, and to every religion.[Hear, hear.] With regard to liberality in were French Canadians.(Applause.) It matters not where I express myself ; I have always the same principles, and consequently my ideas run always in the same current, (Applause.; Mr.Galt has alluded to the fact that the measure of Confederation contains a clause by which no injustice can be imflicted either on Protestants or Catholics where the one or the other happen to he in a majority.And he has correctly stated that.I am pleased myself that there is such a provision in such an important document, and it is in that that our measure of Confederation contrasts with the Confederation, or the American Constitution.In fact, every, one of us, Catholic and Protestant, it matters not to what sect any one belongs to the question of religion is after all, the great question, ! and I think it is wrong for any country when they are adopting a constitution to ignore it.(cheers).I am as much interested, living among you as a Catholic, that you should be a good Protestant as every one of you should he that I sh ould be a sincere Catholic, (applause).We have to live together; our rights, our property, our liberties, are of equal interest to each other.All those securifi interests have to be adjudicated on by every one 0f u8|\u2014a Protestant to-day with regard t0 a Catholic, and a Catholic to morrow with regard to a Protestant.When our liberty aud rights are involved,what institution in the world i-aa teach conscience if it is not religion, (applause).And that is the reason why I said to y0u that I have no merit, because in doing a3 i have done, I have consulted my own interests.I know that my individual intereg » may come to bo decided upon by Protestiats or Cathclids in a mixed community like this But as a public man I have always been convinced of this great fact, the nation should never ignore that great question of R ligiou,*wllch has always been a great question siuce the world has been one (Cheers.) This greo measure of confederation, which hap eng to have been concocted under more fa;ourable circumstances than any constitutiond yhjdr iia3 i,eeli ac|0pte(i for any nation, wa not obtained' by violence, by the sheddin] of blood ; not by war of one Province aga nst j smaller Province to get hold of her ; but jjy compromise.\u2019 Ho referred to the necessityjjf Hying in peace in a mixed community suq as this, and also to his own exertions to ecure the seigniorial y indemnity bill, and the Civil Code.He went on to speak of the mission to England, stating that he told his colleagues that he would not be satisfied to go to England on that important mission unless he bad as a representative of the Protestant interest, his worthy ex-colleague, Hon.Mr.Galt.That gentleman bad told them the preliminaries which took place before he consented to accept the offer madeeto him he.(Mr.Galt) never solicited the offer.In conclusion he again thanked them on behalf of himself and his colleagues for the honour they had done him in drinking this toast.The CHAIRMAN next proposed\u2014\u201cThe Dominion of Canada,\u201d and called on the Hon.Mr.Rose to respond to it.Hon.Mr.ROSE who was loudly called for said Sir, I am sorry to find that the in tiuence of my friend, Mr.Gait,which I had invoked to that end has not been sufficient to secure you immunity trom listening to anv remarks of mine in reply to the Toast which is now proposed.But as your partiality still prompts you to devolve the toast on me, I will endeavour at this late hour not to abuse your patience/ Much tb-S \"Wm/ghriSve alluded to has beeu already so much better said, that I am happily relieved of a great part of the duty which your kindness has assigned to me.I cannot however help giving utterance to the tnought which must be uppermost in the mind of every reflecting man at this time in relation to the Domimion of Canada.We are now on the eve of great changes, and according as we use them, we shall make or mar our future.One question at this moment is whether we shall seek by 1)armor: ions action to reunite the country to prosperity, or whe-|her we will allow mere party strife to cramp the efforts of public men and deform the new political scheme.(Cheers) If ever there was a time when bye gones should he bye gone:,_____ not only among party leaders, butin the whole community,\u2014an\u2019d when we should not obstruct the men who may be called on at first to direct public affairs,\u2014the present is that time.Pub.lie men must now forget their past differen ces, and meet on common ground;\u2014they must sink those divergencies of opinion which were the creation of past events, which were applicable only to questions that can never again arise.The policy of the hour must be simply conciliation, and I might add.in so far as public duty will permit of co-operation.The slates 1 men whom the Sovereign may, in the next fe we.ks, call to her counsels have no ordinary difficulties before tht'ïfi.and whoever, they may he, they should at the oufset receive a geuerous forbearance.Many personal claims and aspirations must, no doubt, be set aside\u2014 but no man should go on the strike, even if injustice is done him.(Cheers.) Do not imagine, Sir, that I countenance a blind and abject adhesion to the powers that be\u2014nor that I would discourage the most vigilant watch-fullness over every Executive act, and every measure of the Legislature.Far be it from me to deprecate the exercise of a manly, political independence when the occasion arises.In every free country a healthy, vigorous, and active opposition is as necessary and beneficial to the public welfare qs a good government.We must be governed hy a party and through a party What I deprecate is the recuscitatlop of parties iu anticipation of new issues_the revival of obsolete differgnees and names for the mere sake of opposition to the men who have been the instruments so far in working out the present state of things.I am neither in office nor an expectant of office, and therefore can speak with entire disinterestedness when L say that the men who have fabricated the machine must be the engineers on the trial trip.! (Cheers ) If you build an engine, you not only do not select a new hand cn the first vpyage, but you prefer the machmest who has put if together, if he is at all up to the work, and it is time enough to talk of displacing him it you find he strains the essential parts\u2014heats the bearings\u2014wastes the fuel, or does not make the ship answer expectations.iCheers ) I expect then that if we start with two hostile parties\u2014having no question of policy to divide us, if we disturb the preliminary arrangements merely because they may not be quite as we would wish them, and bring into the House of Commons men pledged to oppose and wrest power from those to whom it may first be entrusted,\u2014we are very likely to revive the personal rancour ot formeç years, tq degrade political life - to lower instead of elevating the character of public men, and to make that a distasteful and debasing strife which should be the object of an ennobling ambition.(Cheers.) Questions will soon spring up which will give birth to party.The first session cannot pass without it.Your honoured guest (Mr.Galt) has alluded to the commercial policy which must he dealt with.Well, Sir,\u2014if I should have a seat iu Parliament-notwithstanding the free measure of general support I have told you I think the new Ministry should receive\u2014I shall consider myself not only as free to deal with and oppose, but if need be.secure what co-operatiou I can to defeat auy measures which my judgment might tell me were not calculated to advance the prosperity of the country.My Hon.friend and 1 have differed widely and earnestly on many fiscal questions ; and it is hardly to he expected we shall not do so again.(Hear, hear.) But we now bring in new inter-ests-those of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick ;-they must have their day-and it is altogether premature to speculate on what will be the result of the deliberations of a Government iu which those Provinces must have an important share.Now, Sir, we must no longer trifle with the question of Defence, and I repeat now what I have said long ago, that if we value this fair Dominion, every man who dwells within it must be a citizen soldier.(Cheers.) We must now erect those defensive works, without which a successful resistano.is hopeless.Tho motive for delay has! ceased ;\u2014Union is accomplished, and after this every hour of procrastination will be the criminal and reckless disregard of the most obvious and unquestioned of our duties.[Cheers.] From these cheers I infer that unless the measures of Defence are comprehensive and large, the Ministry proposing them will meet wit] small favour at your hands.That, too, is a to gitimate ground of party differ, noe.I will not, Sir, at this hour, when the clock warns some of us that the train is at hand, trespass longer on your time.But I should be doing great violence to my own feelings if I did not express what I meant to have done at the outset\u2014how cordially I appreciate the high minded, straightforward course of your representative in the difficult and delicate position in which he found himself aud hie friends in Lower Canada on the subject of Education.\u2014Cheers.\u2014Sir, I live in a community where very strong feelings were entertained on that point, and I deem it my duty to say that no one could have more faithfully and persistently worked for a great object.12 knew his anxieties and difficulties here, I witnessed his fidelity and singlemindedness in England, and I congratulate him that this per- \u2019\"'7177\t,\tnaji- through his agency, re- cultics he had to encounter, let me not ne\u2019understood to mean that our French Canadian friends interposed them, or that my friend Mr.Cartier or his Solicitor General, Mr.Langevin, for one moment faltered in the fulfilment of thé promises that were given.(Hear, hear.) Asa Protestant and an Englishman I must add my humble tribute of admiration to the justness, fair dealing and liberality which on every question, whether secular or religious, affecting the two races, Mr.Cartier and his friends have evinced.He has said in his speech to-night that he claims no merit for this.Whether he does so or not, we accord it ; and it would be wrong at a time like this to withhold the public expression of it.[Cheers.J It is no small thing for a man to retain the confidence of the great body of his own race and religion\u2014who are as sensitive and firm in the assertion of their own rights as we are of ours\u2014and at the same time, while he as their champion preserves their trust, to conciliate the favour and merit the same measure of reliance from us [Cheers.] In these davs when some are timid and some distrustful, it is Sir, I think, a culpable evasion of duty on the part of every man who has had any share of public confidence in the past___ not to say that, thanks to the forberance and justice of the men who framed this charter of ours\u2014its provisions secure equal rights to all ; that we have a fair field and no favour that we start with no grievance ; and that if the same good sense aud moderation which has characterized us in the past 20 years, is evinced in the future, no man will have cause to regret that we are now asked to toast the new Domin-on.[Cheers ] The CHAIRMAN next proposed the \u201cLeg-islatue Council and Assembly,\u201d calling upon Hon.Mr.Sanborn to reply.Mi.SANBORN said\u2014We are entering upon a new era, and whatever may have been the views entertaiued heretofore upon the subject of Confederation, it is now an accomplished iact, and every lover of his country must prepare to assume the new responsibility cast upon us.[Hear, hear ] We must accept the new Dominion not only in good faith, but we must awaken an enthusiasm\u2014a love of country.In some sense old party lines must pas* away Principles will not change ; hut the field for a display of principles is changed.I fiat there will be parties, there can be no doubt, under the new regime.It is best that NUiVlBER 123.there should be.Cases are not well considered that go hy default.It is through conflict that a measure of perfection can be obtained in legislation.(Hear, hear.) Political indiffer-enoe is like stagnant water, it breeds corruption In entering upon their duties under the Dominion of Canada, public men, if they appreciate then* responsibilities, will not attempt to cherish old party watch-words.They must necessarily consider new interests.They must consider the operation of old aud cherished principles under new and modified circumstances.In this sense he agreed with previous speakers, with whom he has often on public matters differed ; and in differing he fairlv accorded to them sincerity, as they doubtless would accord to him in his views.We shall not have a no party legislation.We do not want it.This would be an evil ; but we must not bring into the public questions of the Dominion all our local quarrels of the past.Whoever does so will be east aside as a public man.He was one of those who had serious apprehensions of the success of Confederation.These apprehensions were not fully dispelled yet.He, however, would not now be a bird of evil omen.He \" war Teady-to-enter heart and hand into the working of the new order of things.(Hear, hear.) Whether in public life or private life, he would do his utmost to make the Government of Cauada a success, [Hear.] He never looked upon Confederation as not having much to commend it ; hut the objections to it were, to his mind, grave\u2014and not the least of the objections was the fear ^hat it was not sufficiently well impressed upon the hearts of the people.It is not now for us to cherish this sentiment To make our new government a, success, we must have a pride of country, a love for the.country we live iu.If we cherish diminutive views of our own government, we cannot reproach others for doing so.[Hear.] He would not avail himself of this occasion to weary the audience at this late hour, with his views upon the future duties of public men.He was here, aud was happy to be here as a friend of the guest, the Hon.A.T.Gait.(Hear, hear.) He has almost outdone himself.Whether you agree or differ with him you cannot but admire his abilities.He has enunciated many statemanlike views to-night, and has spoken with a boldness tnat none but an able man would venture to do.He did not intend to say qnytfiing pro or con of the views expressed by him as to the organization of the'Government of the Confederacy.He had not sufficiently considered) that matter.In his views expressed respecting a home feeling, self re iance and an energetic development of our resources, he fully agreed.We must come up to the exigencies of our con-dition, To do this we must have enlarged not narrow views, our patriotism must rise above party.We must not fear or shrink from hard work and hold enterprises to develope our resources, and we shall make a strong nation, a prospero is nation, if this ia o(rr destiny.(Hear, hear.) He had.however, tfeparted from the subject assigned to him.As to the Legislative Assembly you know it has done well, and will doubtless do well.The Legislative Council is now only to live iu its past virtues.Whatever else may be said of it none will say it did not behave itself with great propriety, (Laughter and cheers.) Hou.Mr.FERRIER also replied.He said there was one thing in which Mr.Galt had not succeeded ; that was in arranging a Custom House tariff to please every one.[Laughter and Applause.] Hon.Mr.CARTIER proposed Dr.Nicolls and the University of Bishops College Lennox-ville, to which Dr.Nicolls replied.Hon.Mr.Galt proposed the \u201cChairman,\u201d who briefly replied, and the Press and the Ladies were duly honoured, after which the meeting broke up.THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL TION.EXHIBI- Yesterday was a sad day for auy exhibition ; but a little after 1 o\u2019clock the weather cleared suddenly as if to do some honor to the opening of that which was to take place at the Skating Rink, and to consist of articles the workmanship of the troops now in Canada.Very soon after two o\u2019clock, His Excellency the Administrator of the Government, and General Russell, accompanied by Lady Michel and Miss Michel, entered the building, and were received by Col Lyons, the Secretary of the Committee who have had the management of the Exhib\u2019tion, and several other members of the Committee.They passed through two short lines of soldiers of the different corps in the garrison, and at once proceeded to the upper end of the building ; the band of the Rifle Brigade playing the National Anthem.This was the opening of the Exhibition.We yesterday spoke of the tasteful arrangement of the National and other flags, evergreens, &o., and now proceed to give a short detailed description of some of the articles exhibited.The 13th Hdssaks were represented almost wholly by drawings and paintings by Private S.Fletcher, and the industry of the artist may be inferred from the fact of his having thirteen works, most of them representing some military subject, though a few were landscapes.The Royal AaTiLLsay shewed a greater variety luthe fine arts Mrs.Press exhibited some very creditable crayon and water t color drawings, as well as some needlework!

hut Mr.Smith very ingeniously (wo leave the public to judge whether honestly or not), did not stats that prior to the last Annual Meeting of his Company, (February io™: 1861).This stock, on which only £6 can now be realized, was quoted as selling (see London Monetary Times.) at £8 17s 6d; a loss to each Shareholder of £2 17s 6d per share, or on excess ol loss oi eland above that of the Western, of Is 5d per share.We do know that of the 980 Shareholders of the Western not 20 Transfers had been made up to the 13th April, the day on which- one of the General Agents sailed from England for Canada ; hence, we believe, the same evil-disposed persons who first endeavoured to mislead the public regarding the Western, have been at work, with a view to get the Shares so quoted.We will here drop the question as between the Stockholders and their respective Companies, and now deal with what more directly interests the Canadian public, viz.:\u2014Tho relative positions of the Companies and the Policy holders :\u2014 Extract from Liverpool and London and Globe Chairman\u2019s speech : \u201c That the Capital in the hands of the Proprietors has not varied during the year.It re-\u201c remains £391,752, and of this amount £146,712 is held by Trustees as consideration for the \u201c Globe Annuities.\u201d We thus find tho whole intact Capital amounts to £245,040.Add to this the amount of Reserve Fund, £35,000, as appears by the following quotation from the Chairman\u2019s Speech, brings it only up to £280,040 : In the face of this adverse though looked-for result, your Board could not, with any regard to prudence, continue the course taken last February, when wo trenched to tho extent of £153,000 on our reserve .fund, which, after attaining to £2io,000 in 1803, has now fallen below £35,000.\u201d All prudent Actuaries and Managers consider that in Die coffers of an Insurance Company, at least 50 per cent of their Fire income should rest, as a protection to Policy holders.We now purpose applying this test to the \u201cLiverpool and London and Globe\u201d and the \u201c Western Insurance Company, Limited.\u201d Refe'-ring to tho Fire Branch, the Chairman of the L.L.and G.said, \u201c the premiums for the year arc £818,055 12s 9d, and the losses-£628,153 17s 4d.\u201d We thus find that in place of having £409,027 16s 4d, they have only £280,040, whereas they should have the above named figures, SHOWING AN ACTUAL DEFICIENCY OF £128,987 16s 4d-With this exhaustion, where is the Life Assurance Policy holders\u2019guarantee ?We will now take the \u201c Western.\u201d fthe paid-up Capital of this Company amoufits to £178,215.Deduct from this the last yeajs deficiency, £37,012 17s 3d; also preliminary expense account, £5,039 17s Id.We thus find they have PAID-UP CAPITAL INTACT OF £136,162 15s 8di us against a Liability to Policy holders of (including the Marine) £72,490 2s 3d, BHOWING A SURPLUS OF £63,632 13s 5d, which, they could distribute among their Stock-holdersas a Surplus, after paying all Liabilities.The public can thus judge in how much better a position the Western Insurance Company stands as compared with the \u201c Liverpool and London and Globe,\u201d which would have to make a call upon their Stockholders to place themselves in a position to meet even their Liability to their Policy-holders.Tho action of the Liverpool and London and Globe or their representative, in regard to tho \u201cWestern,\u201d has compelled us to come before the public in this form.Had we been desirous of exhibiting the same spii4t that Mr.Smith, the Becretary, has do118\u2019 we might have referred to the experience of that Company and sales of their Stock during the years which Mr.Boult, Managing Directoi, refers to in the following extract, viz.:\u2014 \u201cLet any gentleman look back to 1812 and 1843.In 1842 the.ir losses were double\u2019their pyemiums, and in 1843 ninety per cent, on their premiums.In 1838, two years after they started, they lost as much by a single fire as by the Compton House fire, £20,000.Business such as theirs, as everybody was aware who knew anything about it, was exposed to remarkable and striking fluctuations.\" And also when the Chairman and London Board resigned in 1860, owing to tho vortex into which they feared they would be drawn by the mismanagement of that Company.But as our object is merely to show that the Western is not the weak Company which Mr.Smith would try to lead the pubiic to believe it is, we may confidently ie ive our case for the consideration of those interested, and close now with the following quotation from the Insurance Monitor for March, 1867, regarding tho LIVERPOOL AND LONDON AND GLOBE INSURANCE COMPANY.\u201c' Even the stockholders of tins Colossus with a face of brass and feet of clay, are becoming sensible of its infirmity.We exposed the fallacy of its pretensions a year ago, and though our strictures then appeared somewhat too severe to many, time proves their truthfulness and justice.Tho company has long sustained the illusions upon which it is based by the declarations of unwarrantable dividends, but it has at iengtn been compelled to curtail even this captivating-extravagance and has thus shaken the faith of its members in the infallibility of its representations.Were they as fully informed as we are, and as willing to lock truth in the face, they would see the necessity of a radical change in its management and of the adoption of a diffeieut policy from that it has recently so recklessly pursued.The day of reckoning may be postponed indefinitely, but come it must, and the longer it is delayed, the greater will be the catastrophe and the more complete their dismay and disappointment.\u201d SCOTT AMD DECRASSI Managers B.N.A.Western Insurance Company, Limited.A.A.STEVENSON, Agent for Montreal.EX \u201cJOHN BULL,\u201d \u201cARDENLEF,\u201d \u201cQUEEN OF THE CLYDE,\u201d AND STEAMER \u201cGREEK,\u201d FROM CHARENTE : Belmont Spaïm Candies Hhds Colman\u2019s Mustard Kegs Bi-ear'oonate Soda Casks Haw and Boiled Linseed Oil Cases and barrels Pickles DeKiiypcrs Gin, inhiias, qr-casks and Bsd and Green cases Rice, in bags and pockets Brls Copperas, Soda Crystals Indigo, Brls of Tabio Salt, cases do Brls Whhing, brls Alum Brls Sulphur Qr casks and octaves ofPortandSheri-y Hhds, qr-casks and octaves of Brandy Sacks of Almonds For Sale by TIFFIN BROTHERS.May 23.122 In Store and for Sale : CORKS and BUNGS, 400 bales assorted OOLONG TEA, iso hf-chests MANILLA SEGARS FBESERVED SALMON, in I-Ib.tins SEAL, COD and WHALE OIL PORT WINES, of all grades, in wood and bottle BY HUNT & BROOK, 31 ST.JOHN STREET.May 21.r 123 OAKUM.OAKUM, 200 bales Prime Navy Oakum, Just arrived and for Sale by JQHW BHYNAS, 11 St.Helen Street.May 21.\tr 120 SC ABED HERRINGS.A Cargo of New Sealed Herrings, To arrive shortly direct from Grand Manan, For Salk by May 21.JOHN\" EHYNAS.11 St.Helen Street.r 120 birth, ,A°.u ï® 23rd inst., the wife of Captain Trigge> lOuth Regiment, of a daughter.NOTICES.(BY TELEGRAPH.)
