The Edinburgh Review for April (re- | printed by the Leonard Scott Publishing |Co., 41 Barclay St., New York) is now iready. Contents as follows :—

I, New Series of Wellington’s de- spatches.

II. The Geology of India.

Ill, Malouet’s Memoirs— State of France.

IV. Modern Architecture and its Ass sailants,

VY. Remisciences of William McReady. VI. Arctic Exploration. VIL. Kinglade’s Battle of Inkerman. IX. Papal Pome and Catholic Reform.

The ‘Wellington Despatches,’ furnish the material for an account of the Duke’s _ career from the battle of Waterloo till his

death ; and here, ina few pages, we have a short narrative of many curious and im- _ portant transactions, which, besides throws ing light on the political history of the period, illustrate his clear good sense, maniless, and patriotism.

In article II, we find a comprehensive view of the ‘Geology of India,’ and the ; effect the soil and chmate of the country have upon tne various races scattered over that immense territory,

The third article is divided into two parts—/jirst, a ‘Sketch of the Life of Malouet,’ who was one of the National As- sembly at the time of the revolution, and was recognized by Louis XVI. as ‘one of the most sincere and constant of his friends ;’ and second, a comparison between the National Assembly of the great re, yolution and that of the present day.

The paper on Modern ‘Architecture ’ explains how the civilization of a country is exhibited by its edifices, and that archi- tecture, which is botha science and an art, can all be traced to three ideas of the tent, the hut and the cave. It makes some severe remarks on essays On this subject, that have appeared in the Quarterly. i

VI. ‘Arctic Exploration.’ Though this paper gives an account of the proposed Arctic expedition of 1875, having for its object the discovery of the North Pole, it is more particularly devoted to a summary of those that have been sent out from time to time by various countries, and the results they have achieved. ir.

VII. ‘Supernatural Religion ; an inquiry into the reality of Divine Revelation.’ A ‘ceritial review,’ of this work follows an account of the plan and objects of the author, who is thoroughly handled with great severity. Among the points discusss ed are the Canon of Scripture, the Hebraic and Hellenic elements in the early Christ~ ian Church, the Gospels of St. Matthew, St. Mark, and St, Luke, the miracles and the proofs of Christ’s Resurrection.

Martin sprang from his bed, and taking the papers and the picture again gazed at the miniature by the full light of day, and any doubt he might have entertained was now completely dissipated.

‘It is the same !—it can be no other!’ he exclaimed with enthusiasm. ‘ And if she is his mother, then shall I have dis- covered a happiness for my master of which little dreams.

he Let us, however, Mric’s innocence, and then see what will follow,’

The good old servant repaired to his mass ter, with beaming eyes, and laid before him the papers which incontrovertibly proved that Ulric’s story was nothing but the simple truth. The letters from Schle~ icher to Wilkins showed also in plain terms that the plan for Ulric’s remoyal had been contrived in Hamburg, and afterwards put into execution by Wilkins. He it was who, in Ulrie’s name, committed many disgrace- ful actions, in hopes by these means to alienate entirely Mr. Breitenbach’s affec. tions from his fosterson.

‘Now, you see, my dear master, how appearances can deceive!’ exclaimed old Martin joyfully. ‘Shall we now believe that our dear boy is become a worthless youth? And now, thanks be to God, truth is come to light in spite of all the arts of Yes. Mr. Breitenbach, now deceive but truth

the wicked.

we see appearances triumphs! A good proverb that! Yes, truth triumphs—truth triumphs!’ mut-

tered the worthy old man, stretching his arms up towards heayen to thank God who had brought all so wonderfully to light.

‘But Martin,’ observed Mr. Breitenbach, ‘excellent, true old fellow, where is Ulric that I may press him to my breast and ask his forgiveness? I have done him the greatest injustice, because | could not imas gine my nephew was such 4 vile deceiver ! | Call our Ulric Martin, that he may once | more find in me his old fosterfather.’

Martin had taken care that Ulric should be athand. He opened the door of the next room, and the happy youth rushed, with an exclamation of joy, into the arms of his fosterfather. Martin stood near, and the tears which moistened his gray eyes lashes showed how deeply and truly he sympathized in the happiness of this meet- in. and reconciliation.

‘And now,’ said the good servant, with a trembling voice, after Mr. Breitenbach and Ulric had again and agam embraced, ‘now, my dear Ulric, tell mo truly whether the miniature, which I found in the pos- session of Wilkins, belongs to you, and how you became possessed of it?’

Ulric took the picture, looked at it. his eyes beaming with pleasure, and he press- ed it several times to his lips.

‘My dear, kind Martin,’ he said, ‘ this portrait does indeed belong to me; and I thank you with all my heart for restoring ittome. Of all the things which I have lost through Wilkins’ treachery, this I could the least bear to part with; for, if I am not very much mistaken, it is the picture of my unknown, but dear mother! How I rejoice that it is once more in my posses+ sion.’

‘Your mother, Ulric ?’ demanded Mr. ‘Let me see it, my

Breitenbach tenderly.

Ulric reached the miniature to his foster< father. The latter sook it and became | pale from joyful surprise.

‘Merciful God!’ he cried, if that were possible! Ulric, where did you get this picture from ?’

‘From my dear foster mother who is no more,’ replied Ulric, somewhat surprised. ‘She gave it to me a short time before | her death, and related to me where, and in what manner she found me, when ! was a child of three or four yearsold. The picture and the clothes I then wore were all that belongedto me.’

‘And the clothes, Ulric—do you possess them ?’ inquired Mr. Breitenbach, with intense eagerness.

‘Certsinly,’ returned Ulric, ‘they are in the old trunk at Mr. Schleicher’s which L left behind me, The clothes are made of brown velvet, laced with silver, and they consist of a jacket and trousers.’

‘Come to my heart, dear boy!’ exclaim~- ed Mr. Breitenbach, pressing Ulric to his bosom. ‘God be praised !—it cannot be otherwise! You are my grandson—you are the child of my beloved and deeply la- mented daughter. Providence preserved you whilst we all believed you trodden to death beneath the horses’ feet, or crushed under the wheels of artilleryswagons on the field of battle, Oh, my beloved daugh~ ter—my dear Henrietta—why could you not live tosee this day!’

Ulric stood by in astonishment, out in- describably happy! He had found at last a noble heart which was united to him by the tie of blood, and this heart beat in the bosom of the man whom, of all others in the world, he most loved and honored, and who had for so longa time been a father to him.

‘1 thought it was so as soon as | saw the picture,’ said Martin who had beena joyous spectator of this touching scene. ‘You see Mr. Breitenbach, it is well that the rogues have given us a little trouble for, perhaps, without their wicked deeds, we might not have discovered what a treay sure of our own we possessed in this young

gentleman. Now we see clearly how our gracious God ean turn the schemes and

designs of the wicked to good. Put, first | of all. we must bring the clothes which Mr. Breitenbach formerly gave to his little grandchild on his birthday. Where are) they Ulric ?°

Ulric described exactly where they were, gave the key of the trunk to the old sers yant, who immediately hastened with it into the city. Whilst he was absent, Mr. Breitenbach related to his grandson how it happened that he had been lost. The story was as foilows :—

‘Mr. Ulric Lowenhaupt, the father of our hero, had been obliged to go to Dres- den on mercantile business. His stay there was prolonged,as at that time Hamburg did not seem the safest residence for his wife

lay insensibie beside her. Her own was broken by the upsetting of the riage, as she now for the first time discovers ed, when she was to hasten to the assist~ tance of her husband. ‘error, anxiety, and despair for the loss of her child over- powered her, and she sank again into a state of insensibility. When she once more revived, she found herself in a pea- sant’s cottage, surrounded by country peo- ple, who had compassionately brought her from the field of battle, and had taken eare of her. Her husband, in the mean- time, was dead and buried, for she had re- mained five whole days without concious ness, Of the boy no trace could be found, nor did it seem probable that they would discover any. The unhappy mother wept day and night. At her request, the clergy~ man of the village wrote to her father in Hamburg, who left immediately for her as- sistance, or, at least, to console his afflicted daughter,

The most careful inquiries about Uline were instituted, but in vain. No one knew anything about the boy;no one had seea

In larger cities than this, where the competition between the companies is exceedingly keen, the wayfarer runs the risk of being seized upon by an agent, who will pour into his ear along account of the numerous advan- tages which are offered by the firm he re- presents, This is unpleasant, for, after all, if aman wants to insure his life he can do se when he pleases.

that they have been the means of doing | much good, and this is evidenced by the | large business of this nature carred on in | the Dominion. People must be anxious | to insure their lives and their property when they annually pay out large sums to effect it, and there must be a splendid field for companies, since not only native associations but corporations from ucross the line and from the old country open offices in the Dominion. ,

From the Parliamentry blue book

con- |

taining the statements of business made by

insurance companies licensed in this country, we find that life insurance is

prosecuted by no less than thirty-four campanies, of which fifteen are British, thirteen American and six Canadian, Some of these confine themselves wholly to this branch, just as some others refuse to take any risks save against fire, while a good number do both fire and life busis ness. Fire insurance flourishes also, for the statements show that it is engaged in by twenty-tour companies, of which thir- teen are British, four American and seven Canadian. Itat once strikes the reader that our own companies are evidently not as well patronized and the inference 1s that Canadians actually perfer foreign in- stitutions, But it is really notso, as will be seen by a comparison of the business done in the two branches. Most of the Canadis an companies are young and have not yet had time to develope their own resources; while among the British and the Americans are corporations of long standing and great wealth, which necessarily, have proved formidable competitors for the Cinanian aspirants. Notwithstanding all this, there is only one foreign company which, in the fire business, has received more premiums than any Canadian one. Itis of course a British company, the Royal, which returns

There no traces of the child could be found, either on the day of his disappearance, or even afterwards, Thus it happened that, after a few years, the mother of Ulric died without again be- holding her tenderly«loved and deeplysla~ mented son, although he lived scarcely a thousand paces from her door. The prose- cution of Ulne by his enemies had brought to light those circumstances with the most affectionate solicitude

good. They wanted to deprive me of the affections of my benefactors, and see, they have restored mé to a father's heart !

In a few hours old Martin returned from the city, and brought the clothes, which his grandfather at the first glance recognised If any fur~ ther proof had been required to show that Ulric was indeed the lost son, it was incons testibly afforded by these articles. Martin rejoiced at it as much at the others.

‘Dear sir,’ he said to Breitenbach, ‘ I must tell you one more piece of news, which will, however, scarcely surprise you. Dur. ing the past night your nephew has fled from Hamburg, and has taken with him the whole amount of ready money contained in the money-chest.’

the amount of premiums it has collected during 1874 at $505,501.98, while the Royal Canadian comes in with $392434.15. In the average amount premiums col- lected by tie companies of different coun- ries, we find that the Canadians have done

with the thirteen British which average $154,119 each, and the four American

which average $128,791 each. It is evident altera short perusal of the figures, that although British companies still command the greater favor of the public, our native operations are fast occupying the ground and taking the business. This is natural and right, for home companies shou'd, when they offer equal guarantees of finan» cial soundness and equal advantage in rates, patronized in preference to foreign ones,

If the British and Canadian companies have the greater share of the fire insurance business, it is not so with the life departs ment, in which thirteen American com- panies come to the front and do more business than the fifteen British and six Canadian offices put together. The whole amount paid in premiums on life insurance last year was $2,751,391.58 of which the American companies got the lion’s share — $1,575,754. 96, the British taking $556,- 780.20, and the Canadian $638,856.71.
