Institutions of this character hove been in opefa tion in England, for more than a century : but it is only within a few years that the nature of this insti tution hits been comprehended-in this country, and its benefits embraced. They are hot only used to afford security to the assured; but they furnish a safe and profitable mode of investment for capitalists.— The principles of life insurance are the same as those nf marine insurance. From certain data, (ho nature of thu risk is ascertained,and the amount of premium determined upon. Records of death have been kept in diflcronl cities, for a nhmlier bTcohsccUtlVoycats, and from those records Have been showing what is technically culled *4tho probability of life" of a person of any given age. The subject w#» regarded as one of sufficient Importance in England to engage tho consideration of tho British Parliament, which in 1625 appointed a committee to inquire into (he merits of these tables. The oldest tables of rates for life insurance now in use, are the Northampton,Tunned by Dr. Price from the bills of modality kept in the parish of All Saints, in England, during tho years of 1735 to 1780. Tho next tables are the Swedish, and were constructed upon returns' collected in (ho years 1735 tn 1770, from (ho whole population of Sweden and Finland, they have been corrected by others made at different periods. The third table, formed in Franco by M. Parcicux, during the,‘years 1789 to 179 G and taken from select, lives. The fourth*, called the’ Carlisle table, .formed doting the years. 1779 to 1767, upon Iho population of that town in England. These last tables were approved by tile Committee of Parliament. All these tables have been modified, for it is ascertained that in laloi ycjtrs tho duration of human life has increased ip consequence of tho advance in medical science, and tho {improvement of the moral and social condition of society. From these tables, a calculation can bo eiplly made, Ijow much a person ought tu pay ycir ly v durlng his Ufa, to entitle his representatives after death to receive a certain sum, taking out (lie account the rate of interest at which thefr? annual payments Bio prpsdmod’lo, occdmu'lato, and the profits of tho insurers. Life insurance line become a very, oxton. sivn mildness in Europe. In London, alone, there are eighty officers for this purpose, and- throughout the kingdom, every town of (wo thousand inhabitants has several agencies from them. Tho real service of tho Institutions to person?, who have certain and limited incomes, whether salaried men, mechanics, or laborers, should commend ft to general acceptance. It is, however, not only of a private benefit, as affording a support and protection to families who might otherwise bo destitute; but it is of public utility, as exempting society from the pfcsping deiqands of the suffering poor, and of con sequent crime.

A Tsakee Attorney on Capital Punishment, The' following oration was delivered-some'where In Wisconsin, by one of the profession, who would seem lo have quite an aversion to capital punish* ment: , 14 May it ploaso your Lordship dnd gonllemhn of ' the Jury?—The case is as clear as ice, and clmrn to the doin'* as 1 no* from your sweetheart. The Scripture saith, ‘Thou shall not kill;’ now, if you hang my client, you transgress the command os stick qs grease, and as plump as a goose egg in a loafer's face.
