This is, however, no in- dication of the strength of parties, the question of the Railway being, by mutual consent, an open ‘one. The following is from the Nwascoliait, of the l9tit inst.:— “The Rail Road never was and cannot be made it party question; it is one on which Conservatives and Liberals can meet on one cotnnion platform; and we rejoice that, on the present occasion, the former have had the good sense and patriotism to act for the coun- try, irrespective of former associations. The combina- tion of parties to carry out the Great Question of the day, is creditable to both sides of the House, and the spirit which characterized the discussion affords grati- fying cvidencc of the patriotic motives of gentlemen who on other and, perhaps, less important topics are at variance. The triumph, iftriumph there be, is not one of party, but of principle and progress.” “'1: had prepared an article on the “ Tenant Com- pensation Bill,” which is unavoidably deferred until our next issue. It is an important question, and one which will require more space than our present No. would admit. .—.——- Pot-r Orrici:.—A notice has been given from the Post Otfice. that the Mails for Halifax, &c., &c.. will close on Jlonday and Thursday nights, at eight o'clock. during the time the steamer Rose will continue to run for the remainder ofthe season.

Cliailottctown, Nov. 18, 185i. C.llAlil.ES YOUNG. ( From lint Montreal Hrrald. October 30, 1851.) Lin: Assututivc I:.—\Va have so often urged it it our readers‘, the wisdorii—in many cases the (In! —-of providing or the support and couifo t after their deaths, of tiiose dependant upon them, by insuring their lives, that it must appear like a " twice-told tale" It! revert to the subject. At the same time, should the perusal of our present remarks induce our head of a family to adopt our advice, and, thus. secure a provision for those, who would, otherwise. be impoverished dy his deiith—nn event which awaitsus all The cup goes round, And who so artful at to put it by!— should our present remarks, we say, induce one hand of is family to insure his life, we shiill be well repaid for again directing the atten- tioti of such of our readers as, from any of the various motives that may render it advantageous to them, contemplate making a provis- ion for those they must, one day, part from, to the advertisements of the various Life Assurance Companies, which they will find in our columns, and especially to that of the " Mitioncl Loan Fund Lt‘/‘c .duuritnc¢ Soct'¢ly"of London. We had, seine short time ago, occasion to make very special enquiries as to respectability and commercial standing of this company, and nothing could be more satisfactory than their results; as, indeed, the names of the London and Montreal Board of Directors had prepared us to expect would be the case. By perusing its advertisement. the reader will scarce- ly fuil tr. discover the peculiar advantages which this Society olfers to those insuring with it. Its system, it will be seen, combines-— and, it appears to us, with perfect security alike to the insurer and the insured—tlie benefits derivable front the system of Savings‘ Banks and of Life Insurance. A policy sfected with the National Loan Fund otiice performs a double ollice; it may either be the means of promoting the welfare of the intred during his life, or of providing for that of his family at his deiith—or rather, it may, at the same time, aid him in both. This result is attained by the So- ciety binding itself at all times to lend to the assured upon interest, one-half of whatever amount of annual premiums he may have paid upon his policy, and this without personal liability, or even deposit o the policv. but by simple ‘ meat of the amount borrowed thereon. or example, we will suppose a man of 80 years of age insured his life for .£l,000—his annual payment for which, accor- ding to the Society's rates, would be £263 13s. 4d. (about £4 100. it your on the whole sum above the ordinary rates charged without these important advantages.) Should he die at the ex iratieri of ten years from the date when be affected his insarince, iis family will receive £733 6d. 8d. more than he had paid in amount rates- lll.'|l|.llll savings, in short-receiving. besides, lit‘: than of p3[lu,- iirid it must not be forgotten, that the fact of his having iusur his life may probable have beenthe means of forcing him to Is by this amount from his income; for few men, oflimited meausa large fa- uiilies have the self-control to deny themselves or their children the pleasure of spending an ainount,the saving of whiclt would, apparent- ly,sn Intle benefit them; and it is only the fear of their families losing entirely the benefit of past pa ments, that spurs them on to make the annual payment of their ife Policies, at whatever sacrifice of present enjoynients. But we will suppose that the party survives the ten years, and that he then, from some of the numerous casual- iucs to which all are ex , either finds it impossible to continue his annual payment of £26 Ills. dd. upon his policy. or requires a little pecuniary assistance for any other purpose, be can, at once, without trouble, assignment of his policy, or solicitatio to others. obtain, as It right it cash credit of £183 6|. Sd. from the Society, or dispose of his policy for this amount. “'0 have taken ten years as the term by which to exemplify the working of this system, but of course the princi lo equally applies at any time during the existence of the policy, no will nci.-ording to circumstances, be found more or lesibeneficial to the insured than in any case we have supposed. The adoption ofthis combination of the advantages derived from the simple accumulation of savings, and thesecuriug to the survivors the benefit of averaging the life of those on whom they depend, and thus cscii pingthe disastrous results of their sudden or premature deessse. is, we think. the great merit of the National Loan Fund s stein. \Ve are well aware that life assurance is frequently and bone cially resorted to as it means for faciliatin pecuniary arrangements of ever description; but, in the vast ms rity of cases, we believe, it is a opted by the right-hearted and s eetioitate father. to ward po- vsrty and distress from the lot of those who are dearer to him than life, in the event of their being deprived of his protection and care. Life Assurance, of all the inventions and discoveries of modern times, is most eminently calculated to prove the stay of the widow and orphan—to tect them from the cold selfishness of the world -and therefore is it that we lose no opportunity of explaining its merits, and enforcing them upon the attention of our res era. The business of the Niitioasl Loan Fund Society is rapidly increas- ing—by their annual report of this car, it will be seen that they ‘I- sued I056 policies in I850. The euerril Agency in this city.
