CHARLOTTETOWN DEBATING CLUB.

The Club met on Friday last, according to an- nouncement, to discuss the question, “fs the Royal Agricultural Society, in its present state, a benefit to the Island.” Ou the question being put, although all seemed to be of opinion that it was of very little benefit, indeed, in its present state, still the majority thought it was some bene- fit, and the question was decided accordingly.

In order, however, to represent the views of the Club more clearly, the fullowing resolution, being moved by Geo. Beer, Esq., and secouded by A. H. Yates, Esq, was carried unanimously, viz: Resolved, in the opinion of this meeting, ap Agricultural Society, sieated to the wants of P. KE. Island, ought to be liberally endowed from the | public funds to the amount of at least £500 per annum, Which amount should be expended in the jaw arding of preminm: foragr.cultural implements, eattle shows, industrial exhibitions of our agricul- | tural products, enclosing of farm yards, aud the } collection and manufacture of manures.”

The Liverpool and London

FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,

“ue Agevt for the above first class

English Fire Insurance Company begs to call the attention ef the public to the advant offered by this Company, in respect to the security to the assured, and promptness to pay losses, which , without disparaging other Companies, may be safely asserted to be superior to those atforded by any other Company in the Island. The Liverpool and London F. & L. Insurance Company has been in snecessful operation sinee 1836, with agencies all over the world, and has paid in losses about two millions and a quarter sterling. Its subseribed oa- pital is £2,000,000 sterling, and its invested funds ulone amount to £1,312,000 stg, ; and the fire pre- minma for 1861 amount to £360,130 19s 4d; and in ad- dition to this very large capital, the Company, having been established before the recent Limited Liability Act, the individual fortunes of each of the shareholders, comprising some of the wealthiest merchants in Liverpool and Londow, are liable for the losses, should the whole of the capital be swept away. in this respect it differs, it is believed, from any other Company established here.
