WAYNE COUNTY MUTUAL " , INSURANCE COMPANY ALL Persons insuring in this company are members equally interested in its welfare and in the election of its officers. In order to become a member of this company and thereby be insured, the applicant gives a pre mium note, the amount of which is in proportion to the amount to be insured, and its degree of hazard, thus: If $1000 is to be insured, at 5 per cent., he gives his note for $50. If at 10 per cent, he gives his note for $100, and in that proportion for a greater or less sum, according to the rate of hazard, on which note he advances 0 per cent, and an additional sum of $1 50 for survey and policy. He then becomes a member on the" approval of his application and is insured for five years. The aggregate of the premium notes constitutes the , cash fund, chargable. first, with the expenses, and second, with the; losses- of the Company; and I should it prove insufficient to pay both losses and expenses the money to meet the losses, (should j any occur) is borrowed agreeably to the aet of in corporation, and paid. An assessment is then : made to repay such loan upon the premium notes, j in proportion to their respective amounts, and in no case to be made but once a year, notwithstanding several losses may liappen. At the expiration ol five years the note, if any assessments have been made' and paid, is given up, and the insured may renew his application. Policies may at any time be assigned or sur rendered and cancelled, and the premium notes given up. according to the by-laws of the Com pany. No more than three fourths of the cash value of any property will be insured, and all great hazards: such as Cotton Factories, Powder Mills, tHstilleries, Machine Shops, Manufactories for Printer's Ink, and all establishments of the same class of hazards, are not insured upon any conditions whatever, and that no one risk is taken over $5000, it is considered much more safe and less expensive than in Stock companies, where they insure large amounts and hazardous proper ty. .

BLANK DEEDS ! - For' sale at. tliiS office. A Bargain. . Tho following aciully took place in our city a few days. since. The dialogue was conduct ed in a sort of low toned voice, and therefore it is not likely the bargain was overheard by the bystanders; but as an evidence of the truth of the matter, the mates of the unfrotunate young lady have, by this time, perceived that one of thefr number has all ol a sudden left their ranks. "How do. you sell those flowers?" said a good looking stranger of one of the Southern Stales, to a pretty little damsel in the market the other day, who had liitherto been compell ed, to sell pinks, posies, and similar notions, honestly to maintain herself and family. " Twenty-five cents, sir," said the maiden, holding-up to the gaze of the gentleman a sweet scented bunch. " Cheap," said the Southerner. " Indeed ihey are," said the maiden. '! " So much so, that I can't possibly conceive how vou can make a living at the business" "Ah, sir," said the pretty little damsel, " the limes are hard, and we are compelled to do the best we can. By economy, sir, we do manage to get along. Did those who live in glittering palaces but know how severe is the lot of the dejected and poor, we miht, perhaps, get a trifle more for our labor. But alas! sorry am I to be compelled to say it, justice is blind, and dim indeed is the vision ol opulence. Here the stranger touched by the powerful remarks of the flower girl, was seen to drop his head and let fall a tear of sorrow. Recov ering, however, he continued as follows : "Here, my pretty fair one," said the gentle man, "why not turn your attention lo some thing more profitable V "1 know not what, sir," said the girl. "Turn your atteniion to speculation." "I know nol what kind, sir, and if I did, I am not possessed of the capiial." "Oh, miss," said the gentleman, "there are some kinds of speculation in which to meet success a capiial is not required." " Name it, sir." " Marriaffe, miss." "Sir," said ihe maiden, "my chances in that speculation are poor, poor indeed." " Perhaps not so poor as you imagine." " I have now on my hands a dear, dear fath er and mother to support by my little earnings, and to marry a youth as poor as" myslfj would only be heaping misfortune on our already overburdened shoulders." " But perhaps in the search you might fall in wiih some who has more of this world's trea surers than yourself.1' "But to get him," modestly articulated the young lady." " 'Twere. and easy task if he loves you." " But where shall I find him which way shall I look?" " Here, my pretty fair one," said the gentle man, at the same time throwing his eye upon the young flower girl in such a manner a3 to leave no doubt on her mind lhat she was ador ed by ihe stranger. The reader will please pardon us for not giving the remainder of the dialogue ; for we do not think it right that every one- should know all that little. love lalk of-two hearts en gaged in one common cause. Suffice it to say, that the couple became more intimato with each other that the. stranger did buy the fllowcrs of the maiden, and as compensation, he gave her a fortune of one hundred thousand dollars, with, by the by, a written contract thai himself should be thrown into the bargain. They are now man and wife tho aged parents are comforted in their declining years the maid is no longer compelled to vend her nosegays the pair are on their way to their new residence, and the stranger doubtless blesses the hour he visited the city of monuments, and went to buy the blue eyed maiden's charming posies.

Don't start, render il was " a pair of patent steelyards ,'" N.O. 51. From the Daily Chronicle. "Trade wiil Regulate Itself." The caption of this, . article will be-readily recognized as one of the self-created, self-sup ported dogrhaSj of l.ne advocates, of free trade; a cant thai is incessantly retailed by them againsl the policy of the Government taking care of the interests of its subjects. If tho principles of free trade were acknowledged by all the nations of the eartL, and a' free inter course maintained between them for purposes of commerce or the unrestricted exchange of one species of the product of labor for another, then the trite dogma "trade will regulate itsell, might be urged with some degree .of plausibil ity. But now thai the utmost inequality reigin in the commercial intercourse of nations, the remark is as far being, in the abstract, true, as that a ship in the midst of adverse, winds and currents, would keep a safe and proper course, without ihe aid of either rudder, compass or steersman. - . But suppose it were tr.uethat allrestriciit.Ts upon trade are wrong, and that the only true policy is to let it alone-to regulale it$elf how would this end be accomplished? The mean est powers of comprehension may readily dis cern thai ihe, means, in our case, would s,oon bring ruin upon the whole nation. It would regulale itself by importing the. products of la bor from England, where labor is worth twen ty cents a. day; from France, where it is worth fifteen cents, a.nd from Germany, where a day's, labor commands ten to twelve cents, and where the laboring population are but half fed, half clothed, and destitute of the comforts, to tsay nothing of the blessings, of life. Our laboring population, being placed in direct .competition; with the pauper labor of the old world, would gradually be brou-ht down to the same level; for the products of the cheaper labor would be imported until such a proportion of our money would be drawn out of the country to pay" for them as .would equalize ihe price of labor, and, enable the holders of the remainder to pur chase a day's labor in the United States for about fourteen cents Then, and nol lill then, would money come by the ordinary laws of trade, in payment for ihe products of our labor;, because thrse would be. cheaper here than abroad. This would be the glorious spectacle of American trade regulating itself! , " It is authentically ascertained thai between, September 1840" and September 1841, about $9,000,000, in silver and gold, were exported from New York, while, during the few .months which have since elapsed, a farther exporta tion of about $2,500,000 has laken place. While the bullion has thus been flowing out.qfj. the vaults of our banks and the pockets of our people, it has accumulated with equal rapidity in the vaults of the Bank of England. The increase of bullion from December 1840 to De cember 1841, was 1,520,000; audit is ihe opinion of competent authorities, that ihe quar terly return for the preseni month, will shovr an increase from j5,031,0C0 to 7,000,000, This- shows whal has become of a portion, at least, of our gold and silver, and who have been reaping the harvest of our enterprises. These arc Jacts against the moonshine theories of free trade, and such as will readily enable us to un derstand the r.eason of the wide-spread bank ruptcy of our own mnufacturers why our own labor is out of demand, and American en terprise prostrated. . The Federal .Constitution has delegated lo Congress the power to "regulate commerce," with a view, as the opinions of ihe framers of the constitution, frequently expressed, prove, to counteract the undue influence upon the commerce, money, and industry of the country. It is theirs to counteraci, by wise legislation, such catastrophies in the United States; texpe-. rience, and sound reason, both teach the neces-, sity of such legislation, and of so proiecting.lhc industry of .our, . citizens,, as to majnlaju ai all times, if possible, a balance of tradV. in favor of the United States, which, is the. only means by which our gold and silver can be preserved', and those ruinous depressions prevented, which bring adversity and distress upon the most en terprising portions of our population, 'T The Fire Department of Philadelphia, is com posed of 5614 members of whom 2634 areac tive, 1540 honorary and 1440 c'oijtribuiing: The companies own collectively 40,078 feet of hose, a little over 7 miles thev number 28 en gines and 37 hose carriages average number of members ju each company is 102 Puila.
