Mvurtvat Sarery Insurance Companies.-Remem* »ering the millions of real capital lost by the several neorporated insurance companies since the year 1827—by the Niagara, the Old Atlantic, (of that late,) the Union, Neptune, American, State Ma- cine, Ocean, National, Sea,Triton and other marine sompanies, to say nothing of the innumerable fire 2onapanies that were swamped in December, 1835— the pablie have aroused themselves to the important enquiry whether there is really any safety in the aew mutual plan? Whether notes given for a year’s premium on ships are collectable where the company has failed before one month of the term insured had expired? Whether, where a company represents itself to possess $1,000,000 of assets and to be liable for $800,000 of losses—and where that company has insured $40,000,000 of sea risk, out- standing and scattered over the globe, and also $25,000,000 on fire risks, there can be a sufficient guarantee of indemnity in what would remain of the $200,000, of the pretended assetts, after making the necessary sacrifice of property, that is on notes, mortgages, &c., to raise the $800,000, of losses, in cash? Whether one month of war with Mexico would not sweep such companies, even the proudest and safest, out of existence, leaving only enough to pay officers’ salaries? Whether another fire, even of one half the s1ze of the last, would not annihilate every Mutual Company in Wall street? Whether these Mutual Companies will be again tolerated, as they were last winter, in keeping their “ lobby mem- bers” at Albany, to prevent the passage of a law per- mitting the introduction of foreign insuranee capital into Wall street? Whether the business of insu. rance should not be thrown open to all without taxa- tion or restriction? Whether it would not have been better for New York that one half of the last loss had fallen upon some of the immensely rich and solvent London insurance companies ? But the most serious consideration is, whether by insuring in a Mutual Company, each and every man does not become a partner, in law, and render him- self, and all his property, liable for any deficit on the part of the company? Some individuals, high in legal authority, have asserted that this is the case.— If so, there will be more sufferers than was at firet anticipated. The system was rotten in its formation and it appears only to have become worse by age.— None have been so warmly in favor of it, (excepting the paid projectors)as several of our commission mer- chants; who, if any profit was temporarily made upon the insurances effected tor accounts of A., B. and C., residing abroad, were enabled to pocket the scrip for themselves. Now that the loss has come, they will be astonished, perhaps, at finding themselves partners with the insurance companies and liable to pay any deficiency. Let every company seeking public confidence, make astatement, showing the real character and amount of their assets; specifying particularly, the fact that a valid consideration has or has not been given by the company to the parties, and whether said parties are solvent. Let them give accurately an account of every claim existing—naming every law suit pending, and the amounts in dispute. Let them state the amount of unexpired marine and fire risks outstanding. Let them state too, whether they have directly or indirectly “shaved” notes, and how much scrip has been purchased on speculation by their paid officers. With these statements fully and honestly made, every man will be enabled to judge as to the expediency of encouraging Mutual compa- nies upon the new plan. They should not be dissa- Weekly Herald.

The Cambria sailed from Liverpool in the after- noon of the 19th ult., and arrived at Boston in the afternoon of the 30th. She reached the latter city at tive o'clock, and our merchants are indebted to the energy of the agents of the’Merchants’ Exchange News Room in Boston, and the spirited conduct of W. Raymond Lee, Esq., of the Providence Rail- road, for the receipt of her intelligence ten hours in advance of any other route or means. They have our thanks. The news thus received is highly important in a commercial point of view. The market for Ameri- can provisions was dull, but there had been tremen- dous sales of cotton, and the advance in the price in that staple of full n aeighth of a penny per pound, is equal to an increase of $2,000,000 in the value of our whole crop. Such intelligence as this 1s of a character to be appreciated throughout this country, including Texas. And the uncertainty of the crops in England leave hope for a demand from that quar- ter for flout ia this country. Some of our large sur- plus crop could easily be spared. There is nothing political to affect us either to smiles or tears. The elections in England were rather unfavorable to the existing government—the Maynooth question having had some effect at the polls. Sir Robert Peel may grow weak and waver- ing under their influence. The people, however, throw up their hats, whether Peel or Palmerston is in powerpand cry ‘God save the Queen.” In those words exist some vitality for the nation. Apart from all this, the butchery of the Arabs by the French in Algeria is the marked feature of the news. France, La Belle France, is guilty of the most shocking, the most horrible piece of cool, calculating butchery that history has now on its pages. Marshal Soult, a man with one foot in the grave, coolly rises in his seat in'the Chamber of De- puties, and states that the Government “ disap- proved” of the act of the officer who saw this barba- rity. This mild word will,we hope, afford a consola- tion to some one, either here or in the other world. The extracts on the outside will be read with in- yerest. American Affairs. All is quiet in America. Texas is annexed ; the negociations for Orevon are in progress; the acquisi- tion of California isin contemplation; and the ex® tension of the “area of freedom” will not stop till the whole American continent is peopled and con- troled by the Anglo Saxon race. ‘These movements, progressive but not aggressive, may produce a war with Mexico and England, and perchance France. Wars, however, cannot | tisfied that their permanent solvency is questioned, impede the advance of the energetic Ame- | because, having begun without any capital really rican people. We are, nevertheless, look- | available, the stock notes being at best of dubious ing with some interest, but with no anx-| yalidity, they can only have acquired by the accu- 1ety, for late intelligence from Mexico in order to ascertain the spirit with which the Mexicans re- ceive the annexation news from Texas. But it is not expected that Mexico will declare war, although the feeling of the ignorant mass in that country may compel the government to act decidedly in the matter. ‘he negociations for the settlement of the Oregon question, are still carried on in Washington. It is hardly expected that the matter can be settled unless England will agree to a more liberal compromise than she has yet proposed—namely, the 49th degree. It has been reported that the Secretary of State was willing to ac- cept that as the line of demarcation, but the American people _will not consent to any such arrangement. We do not seek the whole of Oregon for its value in rich soil; itis nothing in tha, respect, compared to California. But we have our claim to that territory, and are determined to have our rights respected. The Americans are turning their attention from emigration to Oregon to California. Sir George Simpson of the Hudson’s Bay Company, just arri- ved in Canada from Oregon, states that of the five thousand emigrants to that territory this year, at least one thousand have become displeased with the “fertility” of the soil, and have gone to Califor- nia, the land flowing with milk and honey. That paradise will soon be more inhabited by Americans than any other section on the continent, and out of the twenty-six United States, and must, of course, be shortly annexed. The iutpetuosity of the people of the Great West for the acquisiiion of all the ter- ritory to the Pacific, is irresistible. The attention of politicians is, therefore, directed to that region, aud especially to the magnificent harbor of San Francisco, to which place a_practi- cable pass or road has already been discovered. Indeed, California may be the test question at the Presidential election of 1848, as Texas was in 1844. Stranger things than that have happened. mulation of premium notes, for which no bone fide consideration has been or can be given, owing to the want of an existing indemnity, a fictitious and temporary importance. The system was but an ex- periment—time has shown its fallacy. It has ex- ploded with the ‘great explosions.” We must have large and solid capitals, judicious men to manage them, who will attend to no other business, and the introduction of foreign capital must be allowed by law, to create a wholesome competition.

Forum, Capt. Davis, arrived yesterday from Tampico, with intel- ligence to the Ist of July. We learn from a passenger on board that the feel- ing in that section of Mexico is very hostile to this country ; that the impresston was that the govern- ment would declare war; and that if it did not, the people would undertake hostilities on their own hook ; inorder to do which they would have ano- ther revolution. ‘There were only two American citizens at Tam- pico. Removats From THE Navar Orrice.—Dr. Bailey, auditor, Mr. Davenport, deputy naval officer, John Sutphin, and S. F. Hubbard, clerks, all of them whigs, were removed yesterday from the Naval Of- fice. Their places will be supplied to-day. We un- derstand a few more whigs are left—like Smith’s razor strops—who may, in due time, also receive tickets to enter business on their own account. The popular democratic tide sets strong against whig incumbents. We have heard of no further remo- vals from the Custom House by Collector Lawrence. This 1s a very significant fact, and looks as if Mr. Lawrence was himself Collector, in spite of all par ty chques.

Mr, Mentassier and Mille. Maria, who acted the principal parts, gave a very great proof of their talent in the delineation of che characters they represented, and the ex- wession and feeling with which they per- formed them. There are very thrilling scenes in his exciting drama, which render it one of the sreatest interest, and we regret that the audience was not more numerous, as we would have liked to see these two artists appreciated as they deserved by a full house. Mme. Richer acted also in this drama with the intelligence that she is known to possess, After this came Le Chalet, which was to have been played first. In this, as in all the operas in which we heard them sing, Messrs. Douvry and Coeuriot, and Mme. Cceuriot, have received the ap” plause of all present, who, for the most part, had not waited until last night to appreciate their merit, and express their gratification at their performance. All the artists named above were called out after the falling of the curtain, and were received by the au- dience with a salvo of bravi and clapping of hands. To-night by general request the opera of “La Fille du Régiment” will be given; this will be its last representation. To those who have already heard this Opera we have nothing to say, for we feel assured of meeting them again this evening, but we would recommend to those who have not yet had the pleasure of hearing it, to go by all means and see and hear M’lle Calvé, who acts the part of Marie the Suttler. This, although it be not a part of such importance as that of Leonora in La Favo- rite, or Rachel in La Juive, seems to be, however, a favorite of her’s, to judge by the spirit and liveliness which she displays in her acting;jand all who have heard her, agree in saying that it is utterly impossi- ble to surpass her, which assertion moreover might be applied to all the different parts we have seen her actin the different Operas. Mr. Camuriot will this time sing the part of Tonio, which was performed by another at the fermer representation of this opera, which took place during the illness of that talented artist. Mr. Bernard, who is we'l known to the habitués of the Park as a capital come- dian, willagain act the part of Sulpice, in which he was much applauded, and M’me. Mathieu, whose talent yields to none in her emploi, will act the Duchesse, which she has always performed with very great success. The performance will begin with M’lle, D’Angeville, a vaudeville full of comi- calities, which drew tears of laughter from the audi- ence at its first representation, a few evenings since. M’me. Covuriot appears in four different characters in this amusing play; and her highly artistical talent supported by that of Mr. Mathieu, which is also of the first order, is, for those who have witnessed the general acting of these two artists, a good security for the comical, and theatrical, as well as musical entertainment which they will meet this evening at the Park. Nisto’s Garpen.—Full saloons, and well acted, pleasing pieces, are the order of the evenings here. A more brilliant season, so far, General Niblo never had—and well he deserves his success. Harry Pla- cide, the popular Harry, is playing a fine engage- ment at this establishment. His Grandfather White- head and Dulcimer Pipes, although the very anti- podes of each other, are really gems of dramatic art. To-night he oppears as Michel Perrin in Secret Ser- viae, first time for some years. Miss Taylor had a bumper last evening—a just tribute to her untiring industry and professional talent. The celebrated Acrobats appear this evening also. A strong bill. Castiz Garven.—For the only time it can be given during this engagement, Herr Cline will per- form this evening on the tight rope, his magnificent scene of the sailor inastorm. Several overtures from some of the best operas will be played by the orchestra, and sundry dances, songs, &c., will com- plete the performance, making of the whole a very fine night’sentertainment. This garden is thronged nightly by hundreds who repair to it to enjoy these amusements, and admire the three hundred splendid cosmoramas opened to them during the intermis- sion. Vauxnant Garven.—The bill for this evening contains quite a series of fine entertainments, which willbe highly relished by the seeker for fun, dancing and singing. This garden, with Ethiopean Opera- tic Brothers and Sisters, and its usual attraction, will long continue to be well attended. Tar New Bowery Tararen.—We have just paid avisit to this magnificent building, and were surprised at the elegance of the designs, the taste displayed in the arrangement, the size of the house, and that of the stage. This theatre is certainly the largest in the United States, and will allow the pro- prietor to produce plays which can only be spoiled on others, for want of sufficient space to admit the material necessary to display their beauties. All is disposed in this theatre to exhibit novel taste and skill in the architect; the boxes are very finely fin- ished, and the seats over the house are easy and comfortable. Nothing, in a word, has been spared to render this theatre the finest as well as the largest in the Union. This is not, however, the only in- dugementto the lover of novelty; the sceneries also are entirely new, and willadd, by a delightful coup d’ail to the palace-like appearance of the whole build- ing. Some of them were exposed to our view, and we can safely say, that they surpass in splendor most anything we have ever seen. The New Bowery 1s going to open on Monday next, under the administration of its gentlemanly proprietor, Mr. Jackson; and we feel confident that nothing will be neglected in the selection of the per- formances, to secure public patronage. The artists engaged for the season are all of the first class, and their superior talents will tend in a great degree to draw the amateurs of theatricals to that splendid louse. The plays selected for the opening are also such as will at once show the disposition of the ma- nager to gratify the desires of the pub'ic. New York has long felt the want of a house, which, by its size and comfort, could accom- modate all who wish to spend, in a rational way, the tew hours they can spare from business, 8 theatre, we sincerely believe, will answer this pur- vose better than any one erected yet in this country, and especially in.New York, and we can only ex- ovess our wish that a Mg. es attendance from the mblic will remunerate the proprietor for his efforts ind the expenses he has been at, to meet the actual emergency.
