rir Company havip l g organized according to the
1 provisions of its charter, is now prepared to make
Insurances against loss by Fire on the mutual principle,
combined with the security of a joint stock capital.—
The advantage of this system is, that efficient security
is afforded at the lowestystcs that the .business can be
done for; as the whole profits (less' an interest not to
excer,3 . l6.per cent. perannum on the capital) will be re
turned to the members of.the institution, without their
becoming respiinsible fo'r any of the engagements or li
abilities of the Company, further than the premiums ac
tually paid. p
The great success which this system has met with
wherever it has been introduced, induces the Directors
to retro.* the attention bf the public to it, confident .
thati, requires but to he and irstood to he appreciated.

LIFE IN TEXAS.
THE MASS:36RE NEAR GOLIAD.
UT It. EBBE:4OEIW. ,
A 'quarter of an hour. bad clasped 'since our de
parture from the• fort, when smiderily the 'Com
mand was given -in Spank!! to wkeel to the left,
leering the road ; 'and, as we did not 'understand
the order, the-officer himself went in front to show,
U 4 'the way. and my companions fulldwed
with
out taking particular notice of the change pf di
reetion. "l'u our left ran a muskeet hedge,five•or
siefeet.iii height; at right angks with the river St.
Antidno. which 'flowed nt about a thousand
pace's. front us, between banks thirty or forty
feet high, and of which banks the °neon the near
er side side of the river. trete nearly perpendicularly
out of the wider. We were marched alOug the
side of the hedge towards:lole Stream, and sudden
ly the thought flashed-upon us, •Why are they ta
king us in this directionl"l'he appearance of a
number of lancers. cantering tjbout in the fields on
our right, also startled us; andlust then 'the foot
soldiers, wbu had been marching between us and
the hedge, changed their places. and jollied those
of their comrades who guarded us on the a her
side.'Before Vie could divine-the meaning of this
mancenire, the word . was given to halt. IL came
like a sentence of 'death; for at the-same moment
that it was uttered, the soon I of, a volley of- mutt•
ketry echoed across the prairie. • We thOught of
our comr a des and our own probable fate.
-Kneel down !' now burst into hard accents from
the lips of the Mexican commander.
-No one rained. Few of us understood the or
der, end those who did, would not obey. The
Mexican soldiers, who stood, at about threepaces
from us, levelled their muskets at our breasts.—
'Even then
,We could hardly believe
.that they meant
to shoot us; for if we had, we should assuredly
have rushed forward in our despeLtion,and WC;lp.
miless though' we were, some of . our murderers
would have metsleoiti at our hands. Only one of,
our number was well acquainted with Spanish and
even he seemed as if he Could not comprehendthe
order that had been given. lie stared at the corn
mending officer as if aw?iting its repetition, and
we stared at him, ready at the first word, he should
utter, to spring upon the soldiers. But he seem
ed to be, as must of us were, impressed with the
belief that the demonstration was merely a menace
used to induce us to enter the Mexican. service.
'With threatning gesture and drawn sword, the
chief of the assassins again ejaculated the command
to kneel down. The sound of a second volley,
from a different direction with the first just then
reaceed our ears, and was followed by a confused
cry, as if those'at whom it had been'aimed, had
not all been immediately-killed. Our cotnrede the
one who understood Spanish, started from his mo
,nientary lethargy, and Mildly addressed us:
.Oomrides,'.cried he, .you hear that report, that
cry! There is no hope for us—uurlast hour is
come. Therefore comrades—!'
A terrible explosion interrupted him—and then
all was still. A thick 'cloud of smoke was wreath . -
ing and curling towards
. the St. Anomie. The
blood of our lieutenant was on' my 'clothes, and
around me lay my friends, convulsed with the last
' agony. . I saw nothing more. Unhurt myself, I
sprang up, and concealed by the thick smoke, tied
along the side of the hedge in the direction of the
river, the noise of -the water for my euide. Sud
denly a blow , front a hravy sabre fell upon, my
heed, and from out of the smoke emerged the
form of a litttle Mexican lieutenant'. .He aimeda
second blow at my head which I parried with my left
.arm. I had nothing to risk but everything to
.gain. It was life or death. Behind me a thou
sand bayonets: before me the almost powerless
sword of a coward. I ru-bed upon him, and with
true Mexican valour, he. fled froni ,nu unarmed
man. On I went, the river rolled army feet, the
soldiers were shouting and yelling behind. •Tex

there is an appeal in behalf af the Ragged Schools,'
lately established in different parts of the city by

the pupils in the female school-were being taught
to read and write, and though there iwere among
the numbers, mnny wretched creatures ateeped.in
degradation to the lips, they were tolerably quiet, •
and listened with apparent earnestnessand patience
to their instructors. The appearance,ofthis room ,
was sad and melancholy—how could it be other.
wise-Lbut; on the whole, encournzing. \
"The close, low chamber at the baCk in which
the buys were crowded, Was so foul and' stifling as
to be, at first, almost insupportable, - But .its mo--
ral'aspect was so far worse than its physical, that
dila was soon forgotten- Huddled togethei on a •
bench 'about the room, and shown out by some .

sleepers under the dry arcbei of bridges ;:young
