THE ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY.It is at all times gratifying to chronicle the steady progress and continued prosperity of the Royal Insurance Company, established at Liverpool, which has, during a long career, now extended its ramifications to the extremities of the globe, and its transactions have assumed a magnitude almost unrivalled in the history of insurance business.The funds of this company have been so judiciously adjusted, and the foresight of the directors has been so sensible, that the shock of the great London fire has been borne by the Royal without a quiver.The heavy loss sustained in that disastrous coufla-gration\u2014£70,000 or £75,000\u2014has been at once met out of the large reserve fund at its command; and the exemplary promptness with which every claim has been liquidated has \u2022onfirmed the high character already established by the Royal for the punctuality and liberality of its settlements.The fire business of the company has recently received an unparalleled impetus, outstripping in the race many of the older competitors ; and in the life department the augmentation of business has been no less marked.The history of the company has been one uninterrupted success.Last year was no exception to the rule, for in every branch has there been a large accession of new and valuable business.The proceedings at the annual meeting of the shareholders, held 2nd instant, were of a harmonious and gratifying character.Every one agreed in the rapid strides of prosperity which tbe company is making ; and there was a no less unanimous feeling of approval of the zealous efforts of the directors, and of the able, painstaking management of the actuary, Mr.Dove.All de-ired to increase the stability and general efficiency of tbe company by obtaining a large reserve fund\u2014the best guarantee for tbe permanence of the institution, and of its ability to meet large exceptional claims, as was instanced in the case of the Tooley-street fire.Threats are often made to establish new companies, which will issue at a lower rate than that established by tbe old established offices.The statements made at the meeting sufficiently prove, however, that lower rates are incompatible with good security ; and we trust that the projectors of new schemes will take timely warning by the fate of upwards of 400 insolvent iustitutious, wiiose decease ominous multiplicity was stated by Mr.Charles Turner the Chairman.In the face of such dire statistics, it would be imprudent to start any such scheme ; aud while such offices aj the Royal can afford real cheapness to assur er* reasonably low premiums with undoubtedly good security\u2014we are convinced that capitalists will not be foolish enough to embark in such projects, nor merchants rash enough to \u201cinsure\" their property where there is no safety The sound state of the company is acknowledged by by all, and those who are best acquainted with the real state of its funds are loudest in their praise of its commercial soundness.The proceedings of the meeting will be found ia another column.Messrs.Forsyth, Bell A Oo., are Agents of tba Company in this eity.SSCEDISG FROM THS MaBRIED STATE -lo- form.uiun was laid with the Montreal Police Magistrate on Friday that a man named Edouard Orleans * ad deserted his wife and family, and was on the road for tne United Sta'es, in

fugitives, who were going at \u201cBull\u2019s Run\u2019speed and bad leached L ichine, where they were about to start for the nearest place of refu-j-j, probably Oj-lensburgb.They were then in great rage and dejection, taken prisoners and brought back to Montreal, and oo being introduced t» the Magistrate were condemned to pay a fine cf £5 each, tbe woman lor being a prostitute aud vaoraof, and tbe man (?) for being an In-in ate of a house of ill tame The former paid 'her fin- gaWa-itiy, but the latter wa* left to pine in durance vile.\u201c Trente Socs.\u201d\u2014A correspondent of the Montreal Witness, signing himself \u201c Trente Sous,\u201d says :\u2014 \u201c The Board of Trade have not the power to regulate the currency of the Province ; its value is established by law, a change in which they could recommend if the Legislature were in session.English shillings are a legal tender to the extent of ten dollars, at 24j cents,\u2014at this rate no bank or individual can refuse them.Let the St.Paul or Notre-Dame street merchants agree in writing to take them in sums of $10 at 24j cents, and at 24 cents iu larger amounts, and the evil from that date would no more exist.\" We (Witness) arc aware that the Board of Trade cannot regulate the Provincial currency ; but, representing the commercial community, as they may be supposed to do, tbeir action in reference to the EngUsh-shilling-at-24c.movement, might be more effective, the grievance not being felt solely in St.Paul or Notre-Dame streets.Legislative action is, of course, the ultimate remedy ; and, if for tbe attainment of this the Montreal Board will second the movement of their Quebec brethren, such a local arrangement as above suggested would be a good flauk movement.aod suite arrived here last

DESPATCH.less subotantial and important, in beiug the lantinage of congratulation, reasonable hope, and bumble prayer.Tbe present criois of the world is oot one for boastful and extravagant anticipations.We have lately had our reverses.We suffered half a famine last year without being quite aware of it, but were not the less certain to pay lor it We are narrowly escaping war on every side.Like one of those ships bound on Arctic discovery, we drift in a strange sea, upo-i unknown currents and mjalerious swells, with huje ic«bor« nearing and passing all round us, and threatening every instant to crush our fragile craft.States, old aod new, races, commonwealths monarebs, and every form of human will and power, heave on all sides, and feel alike that the foundations of tbe earth are broken up We alone, thus far, seem to enjoy an honourable immunity from a univers»! isi'ation Indeed, the sun sets on the workday of the year almost too quietly.There is something in \"this mysterious stillness which itself sends tbe mind in search of that which shall relieve it from suspense.No Sovereign ever surveyed a larger or a more prosperous and peaceful empire than ours.The prospect is too wide, its grandeur is overwhelming, its blessings too suggestive of Him that giveth and that also taketh away.No epitaph on the labours of a Session ever so fitly concluded with the solemn admonition and the pious text.But a year ag< who could have divined that the capital of the great nation we are proud to claim for kin would be the scene of a sanguinary war, and the streets crowded with the fugitives of the day\u2019s disaster?That is the form of their retri butiou.What may be ours ?There is no need to be gloomy, but it would ill become us to rest on our supposed superiority to our own national offspring.That is not the genuine spirit of this country.The real feeling of the British people is truly represented in the humble and moderate, yet confiding, tone of the Roval Address before us.We are enjoying, we cannot but know, such peace, such unity, such order, such wealth, such advancement in all material and social matters as was never seen.But let us beware.The whole World, Old'and New, tells us how soon all this may be suddenly checked, thrown into ruin, aud laid under clouds of darkness.So let us tread warily, slowly, and modestly, lest we should suffer the greatest of all misfortunes, \u2014a thankless security.AMERICAN WAR.to follow up his advantage he might have gone almost unresisted into Washington City itself.All that the Northern press says upon this subject is to congratulate themselves that tbe encmf did not know in what a fright they were.This is not our account of .this battle.-It is the American account.It is the account of the New York papers, alternating as they do between shrieks of victory, of agony, and of vindictive despair.If they have only lost between 300 and 500 men, it seems to us to be a very cheap lesson.Seo what they have gained by it.They have found out now that the spirit of patriotism, and even the instinct of combat, does not prevent Northern Volunteers from going off in a body under pretence of their time of enlistment being up, although the morning of the combat may be come and the cannon may be sounding in their cars.They have found out also that even a Northern Army can, without much good military reason given, lose its attraction of cohesion, and dissolve into a mob.They have also found out that the Southerners are not to be walked over like a partridge manor, and that they have some military heads among them.Of course, we must expect them lo meet these hard facts by a certain quantity of bluster.They must call out a few more millions of Volunteers, and they must make a confident demand upon an incredulous world for a few more hundred millions sterling.But behind all this there must rise a gathering doubt that this Southern nut is too hard to crack, and that the military line, as a matter of business, does not answer.The North has now made its experiment, and not only has it not answered, but the process has not been encouraging.As a matter of habit, and to ease the American mind, a certain quantity of threats aud tall words may be necessary, and they may pass.But they will be of small avail against the facta as they now stand.In the face of the picture of that screaming crowd\u2014the Grand Army of the Potomac, Ac.\u2014these great words from the expectant gentlemen at Washington lose every charm.These people do all in their power to alienate our sympathy, for they are amenable neither to courtesy nor to misfortune.Nothing civilizes them.They seem to think that at all seasons and upon all occasions England is a safe target for their insults aud their threats.They either feign very well or else they positively think they can influence our policy by their bluster.There was a moment on the 21st of July, when victory was supposed to be with the \u201c Grand Army of the Potomac,\u201d and the mos* popular newspaper in New York seized the opportunity to show what use our excellent friends proposed to make of their victory The first thought was revenge upon England After some taunts at what are supposed to be our recent recantations,the organ of New York moderation continues And now, forsooth, because the Queen\u2019s Government sees fit to stultify itself,not daring to carry into execution its implied threats, and prohibits the entry of Southern privateers into British ports, wc are required to let bygones be bygones and even to ignore that any cause of displeasure has ex isted ! The absurdity and inconsistency of acknowledging \u201c equal belligerent rights\u201d of the rebel States, and then snubbing them from sheer cowardice and fear of the consequences bestows no title of consideration, nor will leisurely repentance for hastily offered indignities ba considered the sligbest atonement when the time shall have come to resent them.Both England and Spain may rest assured that just retribution will be visited upon them for taking advantage of our domestic disturbances to further their own selfish schemes of aggrandizement.For the outrage offered in the Queen\u2019s Proclamation the United States will possess itself of Canada, and for the invasion of St.Domingo Her Catholic Majesty will certainly have to pay with tbe sacrifice of Cuba.We have, first, to put down rebellion at home, but every hour proves that the war that has begun will be a snort one, and that ere the lapse of another half-year armies will exist on the American continent of over half a million of men thirsting for a foreign toe upon whom to expend their strength When tbe Union element at tbe South shall have been fairly emancipated, and tbe forces of the Republic shall have been united, let Great Britain and Spain beware.Onr armies will never consent to lay down their arms while a vestige of European domination remains in the Western hemisphere.Causes of war wc have enough, and they will not cool for keeping.\u201d If this is what we are to receive from the supremacy of the North, the North itvrif.Again the cry of \u2018cavalry\u2019 arose Wbat are you alr-id of V said I to a mao wto w»s runniog tx-side me.\u2018 Puj not afraid of Mr Vandbrbilt\u2019s Steamships.- The New York World save, the Vanderbilt is the only vessel of Mr.Vandetbth\u2019* stiamships in any degree fit for Naval purposes, or practicable to l»e made io ;

Retreat I\u201d shouted the men from the ftont.\u201c We\u2019re whipped, we\u2019re whipped !\u201d They cursed and tugged at the horses' heads, and struggled with trenzy to get past.Running by me on foot was a man with the shoulder-straps of an officer.\u201c Pray, what is the matter, sir ?\u201d \u201c It me and pulling tbe trigger ________ Ma!
