Several instaricesTbT 1 this (jasy credulity have occurred within livjnfe memory. Who among newspaper readcrgjs ignorant of tho “original” Lost Bourbpn,.j(a) Bhoomaker’s son, from a petty town in Franca,) who 'called himself tho Dnko of Normandy,* and Wetending to be that son of Loms XVI who died under tho cruelties Inflicted by his hard taskmaster, Simon, {lie ' austere cqrq wain ;r, found many London tradesmen to h|- liovo that ho was tho <ic jure King of France anp, Navrrre, and (alluding to tho Bourbons, thp Orleans family, and the Bonapartists) emphati> oailyj proclaimed, “No connection with thy 1 lions > opposite ?” Orwho is ignorant of bulkj* MrsJ Serres, self-styled Princoss Olivo of' Cumberland, wife of a marine-painter, who produced a variety of plausible documentary' evidence to show that she was the daughter of Henry Fkedkr k;k, Duke of, Cumberland, brother of Gkohok 111, whose; marriago with the widow of a Derbyshire, squiie led to the passing of the Royal Mar-3" riagq Act, which prohibits any of the royal';’ family from marrying without tho consent of tho Sovereign? Mrs. S hr. res, who happenod, , to bci stout and tall, maintained that sho had a\ strong “ family likoness” to tho Guelpu family—that her mother, second wifh of the,;. Duke of CuiniEKi.AND, was daughter of a' Dr. i Josepu 'Wn.siox, sometimes" spoken of as a probable author of tho Letters of “ Junius,” —that, in 1815, when she discovered who.sho was, the late Duke of Kont, father of • Queen Victoria, acknowledged the relation shipj—that Georoe tho Third undo a will,bo r quoathing her £ls,ooo—that this will, and , another document confirming her right to this ; money, boro tho sign-manual of the King— J with! many other incidents, .equally probable. • Yet this woman found many believers, among them Sir Gerard Noel and Mr. Joseph Home, vho bronght her claims before tho House of ’ Commons, and mado out such a case that Sir. ' Robert Peel had to answer it, seriously and i lengthily. At the end she died in great po-, : vert)', in 1831, a pensioner of the charity of tho eccentric Miss Macaulay,nearly as poor as. i herself. “ Tho Princess Olivo ” passed many ! of her latter days in the King’s Bench prison, ! when sho was liberated by tho merciful action - of the Insolvent Debtors’ Court. , In that samo prison, oven while tvo -write, is.now incarcerated a person who appeared before Mr. Commissioner Murpiiy, In the London Insolvent Debtors’ Court, on the 14th" of. fast month, and sought relief from the pressure of his debts, under the high-sound-, lng (title of Georoe Hkhry m: SrßAuor.aiK Neville Plantaoenkt Harrison.

Claimant for tho title of Duke of Lancaster, with a seat in tho Ilonsc of Lords, as “ hoir of the blood of King Henry V 1.,” a gentleman who reigned some fbnr hundred years ago. In deed, as we shall prosontly show, ho wont yet farther back with his linengo, oven to tho longth of claiming to bo, of right, King of England, and so forth. In his portontous Bchcdulo, the many named insolvent attributed his unfortanato position to “ Lord Stratford de Keucliffe, hor Ma jesty’s Ambassador at Constantinople, and Lord Palmerston, on tho part of Tier Majes ty’s Government, not allowing mo to serve as a general officer in thoVurkish army after an oiler of my services had been accepted by tho Sultan, and to my subsequent lossos and im prisonment by the Prussian Governmont.” In his balanco-sheet, among receipts, was this item : “ Received for making out Dr. WniaiiT’s pedigree 10 bonds- of £l,OOO each, the loss by sale of which was £9,750,” they only realising £250. 1 The poor gontloman’s examination de veloped the fact that ho was bom at Kirby hill, in Yorkshire, mid was christonod Georoe Heni.y Harrison. Ho first took tho name of De Straboloie Neville Plantaoenet, in November, 1813. A cruel creditor objected tho Insolvent’s potition must bo dismissed, as his real name alone should have been given. Tho kind Commissioner ruled that as there was no doubt of his identity, he should bo allowed to procood. Then followed tho Generali examination. Ho said that ho had been bankrupt in 1812— bankrupt again in 1847—discharged by tho Insolvency Court in 1852—and again “bard up,” having got poople to trust him to tho amount of over $40,000, though tho fact of Ills previous bankruptcies was patent to tho public! Well may it be said that London tradesmen are credulous. One creditor trusted him with wino, because ho said bo was a general officer, and of sufficient influence to bo returned *to Parliament for tho city of Westminster, if ho choso. He further stated that lie hod been appointed by tho Sultan a Marshal in tho Turk ish army, and his pay would havo been moro than £lO,OOO a year, but tho British Ambassa dor interfered to prevent his employment, al leging that tho British Government bad high and mighty grounds for objecting to him. His antecedents were remarkable. He said ho was in the scrvico of the Spanish Republics of America from 1843 to 1840. His pay con sisted chiefly of plunder, of which his share was about £130,000 in cattle He had received the thanks of the President of Peru, and he had been employed in tho Hol stein war, when he Issued proclamations of which he bad copies. In 1853 he was ap" pointed by tho Serasklor to take command of ’the Turkish army In A sia, but was prevented ftom noing ao by Lord Stratford de Kedcliffe. In 1855, intending to establish a hanking busi ness in St. Helen's, he went to Hamburg to . rai?o funds, and was arrested by the Prussian ’ Govt rhment. He was the lineal'descendant of ■John of Gaunt, and ihe / Sovereign de jure of ,iksse realms , but his claims were barred by the Ait i f Settlement, which was passed by rebels* \ He 1 ad been allowed great credit by trados , men and others on the strength, of his Royal, ; mt i * ' v, Bt it remembered that John l of Gaunt, fluk) of Lancaster, third son of Edward. HI, ;;.bfcot ier' of the Black Prince, and. father- : of, J IV, died exactly 460 years ago. AS Jfiinf or Gaunt married Constance, only 1 daughter and heiress of Peter the Cruel, iting of Castile, we must admire Mr. Insol* ,vont Harrison's moderation, in not claiming tho Spanish as well'as the English crown. In tiou t, he produced an immense roll, purport ing i o bo a pedigree, which, ho said, would ‘non 1 ince any one of his descent'from Joiin of r'<aAi rt, hut Mr. Commissioner Murphy, not -CQhffldcring it quite germane to the Insolven cy, actually declined examining it. By virtue of h doscont from one of the Plan- TAcu nets, Mr. IlAßluaoN had assumed that name. Many creditors opposed him in perspn, alleging that they had trusted him .with* goods, on credit, which ho had immedi ately disposed of, for cash. This conduct, yery derogatory to what Shakspeare *« the* 'aspiring blood of Lancaster,” *ias ja strong savor of swindling, which would hayo qualified the “Duke of Lan caster” for a place at the bar of a crimi nal court. After all, the case was adjourned, Rowing to some informality in the notices sent, tdut (to his creditors by tho “ de jure\” of Great Britain. He wont hack to durance, vile.

Men of : gnrilafi'ftav#j4n of*np=* prcOiattag tho wisdom of tbo provorb, as to the propriety of washing one’s dirty linen at borne. They under tbe necessity of ma kipg the puolia their confidants in everything, of rovSaliog family seorota, and exposing to .millions of inquisitive eyes the follies and weak* posses that other men are only glad to con ceal/ And, whether it be that the “irritable race”" has more than its fair share of human frdUUcs, or merely that defoots of oharaoter in art eminent man are thrown into stronger re lief by the brillianoy of bis roputation, certain ly! tbe lives of authors have always furnished anandftnee of food to gratify tbe appetite of lovers off scandal. Tho important cause of Thackeray versus Yates may bo aefioient in other elements of interest; but in one respect it bears off the palm over all,previous affairs of a similar oharaoter—it is supremely ridiculous. The wrath of the first of living satirists aeainst tbe small wrltor who spoke of his faoo as “ remarkable for the fracture of the bridge of the nose,” and described his conversa tion os “ either openly cynical or oiTeotedly good* naturod and benevolent,” as far surpasses in ab surdity that of Milton, or Pope, or Byron, against their critics, as tbe wrath of Achilles surpasses that of all other heroes in tragic foroe. When tbe public reads the grave narratives of tho causes of lira feud, and hears that solemn preparations are being made for a trial in a court oi law, it oannot help exclaiming : Tant(e. ne ammis calestibus tree ? Do great writers nourish suoh small animori* tics ? And a satirist, too, to take oifence at suoh a trifle \ Satirists, howevor, are not invulnerablo, even to tbo most awkward Btrokes of tho weapons they themselves so skilfully handle. Not uoeel* dora satire is taken up a as means of defence, rather than of offence, by men who nro oxtromoly sonsi* tivo to ridioule. and who trust that, by becoming formidable to others, they may prevont tho attacks they tremblingly anticipate. Of what may bo Mr. Thnckoray’s peculiar temporament wo are totally ignorant, but wo are by no moans surprised to find so bitter and unsparing ft critic doopiy offooted evon by the criticism of Mr. Yates. Of oourso, there can bo but one opinion os to the bad tasto of the uriiolo which has been tho occa sion of all this uproar. Mr. Thackeray, in his nngor, denounces it as “not offensive and un friendly merely, but slnnderous and untrue.*’ But this is unjust to poor Mr. Yates. Offonaive It moybo: but we fancy it was not written in on unfriendly spirit, and that no ono could havo boon more surprised than was tho author himsolf, when, instead of being complimontod by tho subject of his sketch on the koenness of his discernment and his quick appreciation of character, ho was held up to scorn os a low-brad, intrusive spy, and told that ho was not fit to enter tho' socioty of gentlemen. Tho Indignation with which he reoeivod Mr. Thnokeray’s demand for an immediate apology shows that Mr. Yates eould not ovon understand what was the gist of his offonoe. It was beyond his comprehension that thero could bo any broach of the law of good manners in describing tbo personal appearance and style of conversation of the celebrated men with whom he was on speaking terms at his olub. It was his businoss to minister to tho mind dis eased of a reading public which is curious about suoh things. Mr. Yates, indeed, only did what thousands of well-meaning people like him do every day. It is the fashion in these times for every man of note to be surrounded with a crowd of Boswolls, who arc continually trotting him out to rnako him show nis paces, and thon rushing off to tho publishers with manuscripts In which are rcoorded with ludicrous minuteness, their impres sions of the great man. No doubt these imprd3- sions are generally distorted and exaggerated, of ten “ slanderous and untruo.” And, evon if they Wore as oorrect os possible, they are usually df enich a nature that they must bo despised, by all but those who have a morbid desire to pry into alt matters that ooncern popular favorites. But, admitting tho tasto which encourages such writings ns those ofMr. Yatos not to bo very pure, and tho mission of that gentleman not to be a very lofty ono, a wise man would not condescend to be disquieted bi such things Tho author ot Heroes ana Hero Worship must often feel inclined to ueo strong language with regard to the peoplo who worship him, and who take euro to inform the world what elothos he wems, and how many pipes he smokes a.day; but ho is discreot enough net to notice them. Ho probably knows that it iB one of tbe penalties of boing great to bo staTed at, and examined, and criticised, without the least re gard to the possibility that ho himself has any fooling in tho matter, but ono of pure gratification. Mr. Thackeray, I think, would ave aoied more prudently bad he also been proof against similar potty annoyances. His erltio profossod to bo nothing bettor than a pur veyor of gossip, and, as euoh, might have been allowed to pass unmolested. Remembering how Savagely be himself hud, in his earlier years, Ba lirised Sir E. B Lytton’s manners and oonversa tion, the satirist might liuvo had the magnanimity to overlook Mr. Yatos’s “ blundering,” but well, meant criUoiems. It was a groat mistake for mally to require an apology for tho article; though, after that apology had been rofusod, wo do not soo how Mr Thackeray oould havo noted othorwifio than ho has done. It would havo boon easy for him, at tho first, without making so inuoh fuss about it, to have out short his acquaintance with Mr. Yates; but he has now put iho lattor in the position of tho ugerioved party, by punishing him more severely than his offonoe doserved Mr. Yates, however, has nothing to gain by going to law with the Garriok Club, on account ot his ox. pulsion. Ho oannot—or at least it would, wo should Imagine, be vory unptoasant for him to do so—foroo himself back’into tbo Club against tho wi?b of the majority of the members ; and ho can scarcely desire to obtain pecuniary damages. Both he and his opponent should bo anxious to have the affair hushed up, without furthor expo sure; and we trust that this course may yet be taken.

Tlie Governor’s Veto of the Insurance To Yhe Seiiata and Route of Representatives of the Comniaji'weylth of Pennsylvania: Gentlemen : -On'the last day of the legislative session of 1858, a hill was presented for my ap provali entitled “ An act further to provide for the incorporatldn ‘ hnd regulation of insurance oompanies Within this Commonwealth.” I have examined, the bill before me, which is very voluminous, with great caro, and have ted much time and attention to its consideration. Finding many of its provisions; wise, and well cal culated to exercise a .beneficial influence, oyer the management of the vaVionS* insurance companies' of the State, and fecognleiug the great necessity for legislatlon on the supjeot, ibis with regret I an? nounce ty.the Genera} Assembly that I found the bill, In some of its tenhs and’details, so decidedly objectionable, that; m niy judgment, it ought not to beoome a law.., . Tho first seotion of the bill makes it the duty of the judges’of the'District Courts in the oitfea of Philadelphia- and Pittsburg annually to .appoint three Coiqinissioners, who,, shall, jn each year, ex amine tho statements by'the insurance oom : panics'in their respeotive cities,' and in the oounty of Allegheny, and -where' the Commissioners are satisfied .that any.suoh oompany. is possessed of the amount of dapital named in the seotiotf, the Commissioners shall oerttfy to the fact, and, upon obtaining said certificate, .the company may, law fully tr&nsaot the business of an insurance 'oom pany, suhjeot to the annual renewal of the certifi cate. Rut in tho event that the Commissioners, shall find, upon examination, that tho company or association is insolvent, or without tho oapital required by the aot, they are directed to report the fact to the proper oourtof the county,, which, court is required to issue an injunction to restrain tho oompany or association from transacting the business of inniWince, And, if the insolvency re ported. by the Commissioners shall appear to j>e oorreot, tho coart is to appoint a reoeiver to wind, up the affairs of the company, and distribute its assets after the payment of expenses rateably among the creditors of the oompany. Tho section also requires the,insurance companies of the oity of Philadelphia to provide an offioe for the Com missioners, in whiok a record of their proceedings iStobekept. The power of the Logislaturo to appoint a Com missioner to inquire into tho condition of insurance companies, and to authorise judicial proceedingsi In,case,of such as arc belioved to he insolvent, is 1 unquestionable, and the exercise of such a power' would probably be highly beneficial to the inte rests of, the public; but this seotion reqaires every solvent company to , obtain annually a certificate is tbe nature of a license to transact business, and this applies to all companies now existing, as well as to those which may hereafter be, incorporated. It is questionable whether such a restriction or condition can be imposed upon the legitimate ex eroise of powers already granted. The various acts incorporating insurance companies givo tho right to oommezme and continue the business of insurance on certain terms therein specified. This bill proposes to alter these termß by imposing oth ers wbiob may interrupt their business, though they may be porfeotly solvent and evon prosper ous, and It also suldeots.tbem to other than judi cial control; and, finally, it deprives them of an appeal to tho Supreme Court of tho State, as by the 19th section the deoision of the District Court is made final and conclusive. The,section is.moreover inqongruous and im* perfect;-for, whilo'it.requires tbo Commissioners to report to the oourt fluoh companies as are found to be insolvent, or without tho requisite capital, it only authorizes proceedings against such ns aro reported to be insolvent, making no disposition whatever (if such os aro solventhut without the required capital. The second section makes tho refusal or negleot of any company to comply with the conditions'of tho first section cause of forfeiture of the oharter, and imposes upon-the president and secretary, on conviction thereof, a fine of five hnndred dollars. It is difficult to perceive why the president and secretary should he liable to convietiou and pun ishment for tho neglect or refusal of the oompany, acting through its board of managers, to oomply with the requirements of the'saotion. ■* » Under the fourteenth' section of the bill) mu tual insuranoo- companies novr incorporated and loeated - in the oities of Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Allegheny, or haTing egetieito therein, aa well as saoh oonipanies hereafter,; to be' 1 incorporated, whorever located, are forbidden from, issuing any polioy of tosuranoo until they bare a subscription Hat of persons desiring, tj> become Insured mem bers, whose premium notes shall amount ,in the aggregate to fifty thousand dollars. : Suon oom panios are also required to confine their risks to theooanUes in whioh they, may be severally lo cated, and the adjoining oountiesj and are en joinbd from issuing any polloy until notice of the lorm thereof shall be published in one or more nowspapers of the county/where such company shall be located, t. Those provisions, in my opinion, are unnecessa rily stringent and sovere ypon mataai instrance companies. Some of-the most substantial and re* liable companies in this Commonwealth are.based' upon the plan of mutual liability, with premium' notes accessible for losses—their , insurances ex-, dollars, undas well secured as they oan possibly be by any .joint stook oompanio3. Why should such' companies, m organized, and which make no dividends of promts, whether looated in the cities of Philadelphia, or Pittsburg, or Allegha ny, or elsewhore, be confined in their risks to the ooanty in wbioh the partioular company may be looated and the oounties adjoining thereto; while joint stook companies, that are the subject of speculations, and that deolare large profits, are given a oharter extensive as the State? X have looked In vain for a sufficient reason for making this distinction. Common justice requires that ail shall be plaoed by law on an equal footing, and that none shall be favored or proscribed; then, if oitber system prove unworthy of confidence, let it be condemned, and instead of limiting its opera* tions to a single county or neighborhood, let it be entirely abrogated. .Besides, the provision undew consideration direotly interferes with the powors and privileges already solemnly granted by cnaTter to mutual insurance oompanios, to extend their business throughout the Commonwealth. Again, would not the provision which requiroa premium notes to the amonnt of, at leaßt fifty thousand dollars before a polioy oan bo issued, pre vent any oompany from going into operation on the mutual principle, at least in the Interior of tho State? If two and n half percent be taken os the average rato of insurance, it would require property offered to bo insured, amounting to two millions of dollars, to produce the required fifty thousand dollars of premium notes; and when it is recollected that no insuranoe could be effected outside the county where the oompany may be lo cated, and thoso immediately adjoining it, it is obvious that in - many sections of .the State it would be noariy or quite impossible to obtain the amount of required. ‘ The eighteenth section is also objectionable. It provides: “That the insurance companies and insurance associations respeotivoly, of the olty of Philadelphia and of the city of Pittsburg, Insuring property against loss by fire, shall, after obtain ing the certificate required by this act, appoint oue delegate each, to moot in convention in tho olty of Philadelphia, on the last Tuosday of Sep tember noxt, and adopt such uniform fire policy or polioiea as sneh convention shall deem neces sary nnd proper, copies of whioh shall be filed with the insuranoe commissioners in said oities, and a) 9O with the Auditor Qenoral, immediately after their adoption, and published by tho said compa nies, in each of said oities, for at least ono week, in two daily newspapers having tho largest hona Jidft circulation therein and said polioiea shall, on and af ter the Ist day of December next, beoome of general uso ; and it shall not be lawful for any insurance oompany, incorporated by, or doing business with in, this Commonwealth, thereafter to issue any policy of insuranoe against lo3s by fire in the city of Philadelphia, or county of Allegheny, other than in the form of tho polioies so agreed upon and adopted; and any oompany, or tbe agent of any oompany, issuing any polioy in violation of this section, shall forfeit and pay the amount of in surance specified in any such polioy to the party so insured Provided that this section shall not apply to companies exclusively mutual. This section deprives tho companies thorein named of the power of making contracts of insu rance on such conditions and terms as may be agreed od by both parties. Whatever the nature of tho property, or of the risk, or wherever it may be*situatod, and whethor tho oontraot be made through an agent or by an immediate officer of the company, no form oan bo used, under a heavy penalty, except tho one agreed upon in conven tion. The rightor liberty to settlo tho terms and condi tions, and form of the oontraot, is necessarily inclu ded in tho general grant of power to make insu rance, without express words, and it is also givon - expressly in very many ohartors. The conditions, limitations, modifications, covenants, and -arran tees, in policies of insurance, are as various U 3 tho risks, and heretofore the parlies to the oontraot wore at liberty to inako their own bargain. But this section requires tho companies to agree through delogates to a common form or forms, whioh shall be used in oase. Even in the conveyance of real estate inis is not practicable; but in matters of oontraot, whioh rolato to an infinlto variety of risks and contingen cies. it is, in. my opinion, Impossible. Ids the polioy of our Jaw to leave all who are compe tent to oontraot .freo to agree for themselves, stipulating, however, for things lawful, and observing good faith; and, to my mind, the attempt to produoe uniformity in oontraots of in- Uurauoo is suoh a departure from that polioy—con firmed,qs it is, by the experience of ages—as to lender the experiment neither practicable nor de sirable. It is quite impossiblo to foreseewhat spe cial conditions it may be necessary to introduce into a polioy. and it fs unwise to place it out of the power of the parties to provide for suoh con tingencies. Tho result of the adoption of this pro vision would undoubtedly bo that no prudent com pany would take any risk that was not sufficiently provided for by tho contract settled by the con vention ; nud oonscquontly parties wanting speoial risks insured would bo compelled to go out of tho State to get their insuranoe. It will afford me great pleasure to oo oporate with the General Assembly in providing additional oheokß and maklDg other salatary regulations for tho government of insuranoe companies, so as effectually to protcot the public against tho impo sitions and fraudulent practices of dishonost insti tutions. But for tho reasons olroady assigned, I oaunot approve of this bill. It is, thereforo, here with rotumed to tho House of Representatives, where it originated, for reconsideration. * a Wm F. Packek.
