Tue Royal Mail Steamer Tasmanian ar rived at St. Thomas on Friday last with the Earopean Mails. Very little politi cal news is to be found in the London Papers. 'What is of most interest is the assurance of the Globe, that the rumour of new demands being made by the Unit ed States on England for indemnification for the depredations of the Alabama, is unfounded. The Globe says:—We are informed, from a source we rely on,. that no new demands have been made on our Government on the matters in question since the succession of Mr. Johnson to the Presidency of the United States, and consequently that no reply to such de mands has been returned on our part, nor, by the like consequence, has there heen any rejoinder on such reply to such de mands. It is no secret in any quarter that claims of the kind had been made on our Government, as the cases arose of damage to American merchant ship-own ers from the Confederate cruisers, But we believe we can affirm with confidence that no new incident has occurred what ever, altering in any manner the position of either Government with regard to those claims.” [Nr. 49.

From the Weekly Dispatch, May 28.) FRANCE. The readers of the Moniteur have re marked with some surprise that it has not given the address delivered by Prince Napoleon at the ceremony of uncovering the monument to the first Napoleon at Ajaccio. The first day the Moniteur omit ted all notice of those sites; the day fol lowing it contained a short summary of them. It mentioned, indeed, how the Prince, with head bare, mounted the plat form and walked round the statue; how at that ‘“solemn moment” salutes were fired how the features of his Imperial Highness betrayed the deepest emotion; how he spoke a liitle on everything—Dbut of the speech itself, which was the great feature of the ceremony, nota word. The little Moniteur, indeed, reproduced the telegram announcing that an oration had been pronounced, but it contained only the first two lines, aud did not notice the following :—¢The Prince gave an exccl lent biography of the Bonapartes. He described the lifec and acts of Napoleon 1., and traced a complete programme of Liberal policy.” The Government jour nals, the Constitutionnel and Pays, pub lished the speech after it had been submit ted to the censorship, from which it issu ed mutilated. The first passage sup pressed related to the marriage of Napo leon with Maria Louisa, which the Prince severely condemned, concluding thus:— “An Austrian alliance shall never be the policy of France.” 'The second passage set aside contained an eulogy of American Democracy and the American Constitu tion. After saying that ‘the foundation of a great Republican State beyond the Atlantic, encouraged by the support of I'rance, was a glorious legacy bequeath ed by the Government of Louis XVI.)” his Imperial Highness eulogised Monroe, ‘the celebrated statesman who gave his name to the doetrine which laid down the principle that the Governments of Kurope ought to have no possessions in North America.”” The third paragraph effaced referred to the Roman question. In this the Prince declared himself favourable to the suppression of the Pope’s temporal power, and based his opinion ou the au thority of the first Napoleon, though it is probable that, had the Roman. Gover nment entered into the Imperial “system,” Napoleon would have maintained its power. 'The fourth change which the Constitutionnel and the Pays made in the speech was in that part which alluded to the liberty of the press. Neither is theve any mention of the political maxim of the Prince relative ““to those subaltern agents who are so eager to preserve the Govern ment from every species of attack, but who, in their false devoteduess and their interested exaggerations, only seek to hide from the Sovereign their insuflicien ey and their faunlts.”” 'This was doubtless considered a personal reflection on the Government journals, and would account for the suppression. It is certain that the speech of his Imperial Highness has caused the utmost displeasure to the Go vernment. The Ministers strongly press ed the Empress to authorise the insertion of a paragraph in the Moniteur disavowing, if not positively censuring, the Prince; but the Empress, though very-willing, did not venture to do so. The Opinion Nationale has narrowly escaped suppres sion for an article speaking in high terms of the Prince and the speech. It appears, however, that Prince Napo leon’s discourse has not produced on the ST CROLX AVI S Emperor the effect anticipated by the Empress Regent and the Ministers. His Majesty has taken the matter very coolly, and probably thinks that the democratic vehemence of his cousin will rally round himself the more backward Conservatives. The Court is said to be angry because the Emperor is not as angry as itself; the Prince, because the Courtis angry and the Emperor indifferent; and the Ministers, uot knowing whether, in disa vowing the Prince, they may not in reali ty be disavowing their master, are as an gry as the others. ‘The Paltrie has very narrowly escaped an avertissement for having published alarming news about the recruiting said to be going on in the United States, with a view to an invasion of Mexico. It stat ed that it had reason to belicve that the i'rench Government felt somewhat anx ious about these clandestine operations in favour of the ex-President Juarez, and that the most energetic measures would be taken, if necessary, against the Ame rican volunteers, It declared that France would never allow these adventurers to attack, in contempt of every principle, a country which is protected by the I'rench flag. It announced, moreover, that Rear- Admiral Didelot, the newly named com mander of the paval division on the west coast of America, was under orders to leave Brest with the steam-frigate The mis, immmliately after the Emperor’s re turn from Algeria, with formal inztruc tions so stop, in the name of internation al law, and conformubly to the provisions of maritime law, any enterprises that the successors of Lopez and Walker might attempt. The Palric added that besides General Ortegan, Romero, brother of the Romero who was recently shot by Court martial at Mexico, was at New York con ducting the recruiting that the said Ro mero was furnished with full powers from Juarez, wasassisted by an American com mittee, and appeared to have at his dis posal large sums of money. This news coming from the alrie produced a very bad effect generally, and particularly among the commercial classes. The Puatrie got a reprimand for having giving it publicity, and was forthwith ¢invited” to contradict or at least greatly modify what it had stated. It has doue so; and it now says that the ouly correct fact in its previous statement is, that Rear- Admiral Didelot is going out to relieve Rear-Admiral Bosse, who has completed his period of service on the west coast of Ameriea, and that the former will not be charged with any exceptional mission whatever, and will have no other powers than those held by his predecessor. “The Life of Marat,” a pamphlet pur porting to refute the doctrines put for ward by the Emperor in his “Life of Cesar,” has been confiscated by the French Government. MEXICO. The New York papers contain import ant- advices from Mexico city, dated the 29th ult. :—“Within the previous fort night the French and Belgians had, it is said, suffered several defeats at the hands of the Liberals. The city of Periana, in Michoacan, has been captared by the Jua rez troops, who hold it, after having routed its French defenders; while ano ther city, near Morélla, has been attack ed and taken by the Liberals. In this latter instance the place was held by some three hundred Belgians, who, be ing driven into the church, refused to surrender. Upon this the church was fired, and “the whole command were either burned to death or were shot as they made their escape from the flames.” Several smaller actions have resulted dis astrously to the Imperial forces. The country seems to have broken ot afresh under thie news of Northern victories and appeals from Jaarez, which are circulated in all directions. 'l'he Freuch, however, have occupied Guaymas, in the Gulf of California, and are making rapid progress in the Northern departments. Juarez was still at Chihuahua, where his Cham ber of Deputies, Ministers, newspapers, armies, &ec., are concentrated. An im portaut document has been pablished in all the papers of the capital. Itis from the Secretary of War of Juarez, who lays down the law of retaliation for the exe cution of Liberal soldicrs taken by the Imperial foreces. The siiooting of Gene ral Romero is to be met by the death of the French naval commander captured last winter by the Liberals in Sinaloa, and this code of lite for life 1s henceforth to be rigidly enforced. Iu addition to this, an appeal from the Repablican Pre sident himselt has been reccived. He exhorts the nation to remain constant to the sacred institutions of their country, and patiently abide the conclusion of the war in the United States. He says pow erful succour is at hand, and the downfall of the so called Empire cannot be far dis tant. 'The policy of Juarez seems to be to maintain some show of authority with in the limits of Mexico; to never cross the boundary, and wait for aid from out side sources. A Mexico letter; of the 29th ult, says: —*“This has been a week of excitement in the capital ot Mexico. First came the news of the capture of Monterey and Sal tillo by the Juarists—events which place neariy the whole of north-eastern Mexico in possession of the Liberals; then the appalling intelligence that the President of the United States and Secretary Seward had been assassinated—events that have horrified Northerners and Southerners allke—the surrender of Lee, and, finally, the arrival of ex-Senater Gwin again from France, with important dispatches rela tive to Sonora and Sinaloa, from the French Lmperor to Maximilian. Orders were positively received here three weeks ago to stop the marching of troops to the northward and to concentrate the French forces again in and around Mexico. The fortitying of the worthern frontier has been abandoned, and evidently a new policy of some kind is about to be adopt ed. What that policy is none can yet tell but it is quite certain that the events in the United States have served to check, if not permanently alter, the plans of Napoleon in Mexico. Marshal Bazaine, who was to have left for Sonora several weeks ago, and was actually once en route with a strong force, still remains in Mexico, preserving a mysterious silence as to the futare. DMieantime, the com mencement of the rainy season renders impossible a campaign for the recovery of Saltillo and Matamoras until, at least, next December; and the proximity of these places to the American frontier of fers every facility for the enlistment of our people to swell the Liberal ranks. The fact is, the whole aspect of affairs in Mexico has changed in .the last four mounths In January last, the work of ‘pacification’ seemed to be progressing with the most encouraging suceess. The French were everywhere successful, and the fall of Oajaca seemed to be the final wind-up of the Mexican Republic. Maxi milian, with his benevolent heart, was winning golden opinions among the Mexi-

Page 3

cans, and even his impracticable dreams as to the Mexican future were graced with suflicient plausibility to suit the palate of a people always ready to be tickled with the promise of some gaudy, impossible destiny. The Emperor as a man, is still liked and respected, for he has genuine good qualities of heart; but the intensity of the popular hatred against the French cannot be described, and should be witnessed to be appreciated. As the slightest intimation of encourage ment from the United States there would be an uprising throughout DMexico that would astonish the invaders. Indeed, many military men (even among the French themselves) concede that the Mex icans, did they possess arms, might des troy the whole army of occupation in detail. These officers are heartily disgust ed with the Mexican afiair, and are loud in denouncing the blind folly that inau gurated it. Little annoying revolutions and pronunciamentos are continually occur ing to harass the IFrench and keep them on the move, giving them plenty of weari some marching, petty fights, and no glory..fi’ RuxNING Away witH A Prixce.—The Russian Imperial family have been ina state of consternation in consequence of an attempt to capture one of their mem bers—although the attacking party was nothing more than a French actress. She succeeded in earrying oft her prey as far as Berlin, and but for-telegraphic wires, through whose maleficentageney the flight of the happy couple to Paris was ruathlessly interrupted, their Imperial Majesties would have had to endure the mortification of a plebeian riece, the hero of the adventure being no less a persoun age than his Imperial Highness the Duke of Leuchtenberg, eldest son of the Em press'seldest sister, Grand Duchess Marie, aged 22. The youthful inamorate was ignomini(mciy escorted back to St. Pe tersburg by a Prussian police agent, whose company must have been a dis agreeable contrasic to that of the rosy winged god under whose @®gis he had left his grand ducal palace. T'he marriage was to have taken place in Paris, and in consequence of a written promise having been signed by him a very large sum of money has been paid over to the disap pointed fiancéz, who, if she has missed a grand ducal coronet, has at least, made a «ood thing of her attempt to secure one. GARIBALDI ON AMERICAN AFFAIRS.—The following is a translation of a letter from General Garibaldi to the editor of the Public Opinion :—*Sir,—l always con sidered from the beginning that the Ame rican question was one which concerned all humanity and the whole world, and I was grieved to see that a part of the En glish pablic were opposed to the restora tion of union in the great Republic— which arose, itis well known, from causes of rancour which pre-existed between Lin gland and America; but it was a sad thing that the good sense of the people who first established the principle of emanci pationof theslavesdid not manifestitself in applause to the North Americans, who showed themselves to be the instruments of Providence in carrying out that sub lime idea. May these lords of the ocean agree then for the good of oppressed hu maunity Sons of the same mother, may they see that their noble race is now-a days the bulwark of the right of nations, and that despotism foments dissensions between them because it fears them, and because it knows that if they were on S Te CROLX AV S good terms it would be impossible for it to execute its designs, which are fatal to liberty everywhere !—Yours, &e., G. Ga- RIBALDI. Caprera, May, 1865.” A Voracrous Fisu.—A Queensland pa per says a fish called a grouper was caught off that coast. It was 7ft. long 6 ft. in circumference at its thickest part, and itg head weighed 80 Ib. When opened there were found in its stomach two broken bottles, a quart pot, a preserved milk tin, seven medium-sized crabs, a piece of earth enware triangular in shape, and three in ches in length, encrusted with oyster shieils, a sheep’s head, some mutton and beef bones, and some loose oyster shells. The spine of a skate was imbedded in the grouper’s liver. From the Spectator May 27.) The treatment of paralysis ard apo plexy by the application of ice to the spine has yielded some very remarkable results, which are detailed in the The Medical Times and Gazette for the 6th inst. In one case the patient, a® gentleman, had been seized with paralysis on the 2nd December, became rapidly worse, and when Dr. Capman first saw him, on the 4th December, he was in a profound stupor, could not be roused, and the right arm gave no signs of sensibility, the head was hot, the eyes closed, and the face drawn. The hot-water bag was first ap plied to the upper spine to reduce the temperatare of the head, and afterwards the ice to the ¢dorsal and lumbar region.” On the sth December signs of conscious ness returned, and the face became more symmetrical ;on the 6th he could con verse by monosyllables, on the 15th De cember he could read T%e Times, and dress and undress himself, and on the 30th January the patient thought himself quite well. The other case of apoplexy (in its worst form) was still more remark able. The patient, a full-bodied woman, had a stroke on the 13th March, and was so near to death that the local surgeon said she was dying, and on the 14!h March sent a woman to ‘“lay her out.” She had remained in this state absolutely unconscious for forty-eight hours before Dr. Chapman saw her, and the ice treat ment was begun. Her recovery has been slow, but the account of the case in The Medical Times and Gazette reports steady improvement, recovered consciousness and appetite, and all the other signs of convalescence on the Ist inst. The meth od seems to be now admitted by very high authorities as one of great power in many nervous disorders. Curious Weppixag.—Much gossip and amusement has recently been caused in Driftield in consequence of Mrs. Mary Piercy, one of the notabilities of the place, the hale relict of the late Mr. William Piercy, who was for many years ‘“the skipper of a keel” plying between Drif field and Hull, and who has reached the reputed age of 84 years, agreeing to unite her fortune and fate with Mr. John Blow man, a jolly journeyman tailor, of the age of 42. Mr. Blowman, being a lone widow er with a family, the buxom Mrs. Mary has for some time shown him more than a friendly feeling, which even the affec tions of Mr. Blowman, who, like Sam Weller, could not, with all his Pickwick ian philosophy, withstand the blandish ments and charms of a “widder” of the tender age of 84 years, and possessed, too, of a little of that, which often gilds age with the blush of youth. They ac cordingly agreed to be married and on Monday morning they met to be united in the bonds of holy matrimony at the re gistrar office, and the ceremony was duly performed before D. Hornby, Esqr., the deputy-superintendent-r. s cur. ‘T'he event, having oozcu out, the hap py bride and bridegroom, on emerging irom the register office, were greeted with such a welcome from a crowd of rough men, women, and boys, that the bridegroom immediately took to his heels, bolted back to the Swan Inn, where he whetted his whistle with a glass of grog and then made a hasty retreat vporth wards. The blooming bride being less light of heel, sought shelter in the Star lun, where she also refreshed herself with a glass of beer, and remained until re moved in a cab amid the cheers, jeers, and laughter of the assembled ecrowd, what follewed in the wake, and what, like a Snowball, increased as it rolled along untii the bride reached her happy home and was landed in satety.—Eastern Morning News. THE SHOULDER TO THE WHEEL. The Chairman expressed his convie tion that the shareholders would approve of the Board’s determination not, at pre sent, to draw upon the profits beyond the necessary amount for payment of in terest reserving the declaration of a di vidend for a future time. We think the Directors would act wisely, in this mat ter, if they were to follow the example of their neighbour, the Royal, and capi talise a portion of their surplus instead of dispersing it in the form of dividend. The Royal did so, at the end of fowr years, to the extent of £89,280 anud if the London and Lancashire can announce nearly half that sum as the gross profits on a single year,—a year alleged to be peculiarly “fruitful in losses by fire,”’a—the time cannot be far distant when the Directors will have a like surplus for appropriation, REVIVAL OF LAPSED POLICIES. To the Editor of the PosT MAGAZINE. Sir,—ln your article of the SBth inst., on this subject you state that “the Di rectors of a Life Assurance Company have neither legal power nor moral justi fication to sustain them in reviving poli cies that have ceased to exist for the lengthened period of sixteen months.” Now if this were merely matter of opin ion, I sliould not have troubled you on the subject; but as bearing on the mat ter of fact, I subjoin an extract from the prospectus of the Life Office which I have the honour to represent. As, how ever, I do not wish to obtain an adver tisement grafis in your widely circulated Magazine, I abstain from giving any in formation which would enable your read ers to identify the office in question. I believe there are several other offices in which a similar discretionary power of revival is vested in the Directors. Extract from Prospectus.—*The Direc tors have power at any time to revive lapsed policies, with or without payment of a fine, and proof of present health.” I have only to add thatit is far from unusual for this power to be exercised even after sixteen or eighteen months, when the circumstances of the case ap pear to justify it. Your obedient servant, MANAGER. 11th April, 1865.

In observing, as we did in the article to which the preceding letter refers, that «the Directors of a Life Assurance Com pany have no legal power, nor moral jus tification, to sustain them, in reviving olicies that have ceased to exist for the Rangthened period of sixteen months,” the expression “legal power” simply ap plied to the power possessed by Directors, generally, in their official capacity and not to power specially conferred upon them by Articles of Association, by some clause 1n a deed, or by resolution passed at a general meeting of shareholders, or members. If a policy-holder who may have determined to abandon his policy, because he has no longer occasion to keep it in force, or from some other cause or consideration, should allow two ycars’ premiuams to fall in arrear, and then, sud denly finding symptoms of what may be come fatal disease beginning to be deve loped in his system, should demand re admission® to the Office, under the origi nal contract, and the demand should be complied with, a gross injustice would be inflicted on the shareholders, if a proprie tary Company, or on the policy-holders of a mutual one. It is quite clear from our correspondent’s own showing that the power to revive a lapsed policy does not exist in the Directors, per se, by right of office. Ifit wereso, in all cases, what occasion would there be for the Direc tors of the company to which our corres pondent is attached to announce that they are endowed with a power which all boards possess In expressing his belief that “there are scveral other Offices, in which a similar discretionary power is vested in the Directors,” our position is at once established; for, without such delegated discretionary power, the revival of a lapsed policy would clearly be as illegal a proceeding, and an act as devoid of moral justification, as the granting of policies to particular persons, as a matter of favour, at reduced premiums.
