Wr. FRANKLIN stated that the projectors of the Conven- ion did bot desire to dictate to avy company; but toey met simply to collect all the knowledge upon the subject which the experience and suggestions of the delegates might furmsb, A committee of five was appointed to make the neces- Bary arrangements for the dinoer on Thursday evening, aiter which the Convention adjourned till Tnursday morning. SBOOND DAY. The Convention met on Thursday, and as soon as the minutes of the preceding meeting were read a report oo VITAL STATISICS was presented. After dividing the territory of the United States and Capada into several classes, the committee ‘say :—1n regard to ibe second point—coilection of vital sta tistica~. 10 which the attention of the committee has been Girected, they wish to state that the limited time alloted. to them will ecarcely allow any otuer than @ mere cursory japce at ibis most upportant subject. It is by no means @ matter Of gratulation to find that every American Life Compuny, without exception, bas adopted races of pre guug and rules of va'uation daged upon observations made three thousand miles away. Toat, with upwards of 160,000,000 at risk om tbe tives of more than 85,000 American citizens, bo united effort should have been made by American life companies for deducing the prevailing rate of mortality. If the English tables now in use, aod adopiea by us, ded a fair representation of the mortality prevailing among assuree lives in this coun- wy, then, however mortitying tt would be to feet that we benetiited by the skill avd labor of our friends across the A,laptic, without making any compensa. tion by way of returo, the evil would be lessened : but such is not the case. used in this country are ail defective; being the results of observations made vpon miscelianeous communities of nen, women and children, and of all ages, they can never represent satisiactori)y the rate of mortalty prevailing among aseured lives, Who are in many respects a peculiar cisss, The influences which surround the ‘American aro different from thore hich surround the European, aud tbe comparative vital force, or ability to resist disease aud death, varies at different ages on the two coatinents. Tho evil Was @ practical obe and under their control. The re- port coptinucs:—No company is 80 small as not to be abie to copuibute towards the formation of such a tabie, aod Lo company s0 large a8 not ‘to derive great advapiage from it. Such a table is eseential to the prover understanding and solution of ali questioas evolving the durahon of life. A knowledge of toe jaws of mortality is the very eesence and foundation of the system of ife insurance. Without it, the whole scheme would be but guess work; with such a table, life wsurance becomes a science—a noble ecience—second to uove other in its beneficent fofluence upon mankind. In view of the great pecuniary interests involved, the Committee are of opiniwu that it would be advisable for each life company in the United States to coatrioute certajn data by which the compined experience of all Atbericad companies cao be deduced, having special re- ference to the comparative mortality in the didereut classes into which our country has been divided, the comparative mortality at different ages or epochs of’ life, apc the Comparative mortality under whole life and term policies. It was in this manner that the celebrated “actuams,”’ or “Combined Experience’? Table of Mor- tality was obtained, which, in spite of many serious de- ecté, is stili tue dest representation of the value of as. sured lives iv England extant, With additional experi- euce and tplormation, aud by avoiding the errors whicis materially diminish tbe value of this celebrated tabie, ibe American companies have now an opportuoity of making @ valiopal table of wortality which, while it will be of great practical value to each and every Ameri- cap company, will wiso be an importact contribution wo ecience. We'append blapk forms of revurn. The PResDEST eaid that the Couvention should consider the matter of sanitary regulatious, aad read extracts from tbe reports of the iste Commodore Perry, Commodore Pauidig avd otber gevtiemen, establishing the fact that to Northerh em\grants, cecayed vegetation, stagnant water, and a wepica! sun acting on all these condivions, were pro- litic of digease aud death. Other delegates spoke ia the same strain, when the PHOMIDENT wqu’red if the modern improvements in gun- bery Were cot likely to muke battles more bloody? Lievteosot MERRILL repited ww a lengthy and interesting speech. Le said tbat the riek of insurance ia that re Epect Was Dot £0 great as was generally believed; and he was of the opinion that if companies Were to acreage the age to twenty-seven, all the meks from wounds received 1B batile would be covered. Ap Eugiish writer had de movetrated tbat in the Napoleonic, Revolusioaary aud Crimean ware the wetual mortality waz one to every 10,000 balis fred. Several gentlemen spoke on the question, when the re- port was vasnimously adopted, and on motion, the Gom- mittee Gu Vitui Statiatios were requested to ascertain Ua rate of mortality among the assured under short poiicies The Commitice on Renewals and Lapsed Policies report ed that it would be inexvedient tor the Conveutiva to take auy action at the present ume.

Mr. CHICKERING presented the subjoimed preamble and resointion, which were adopted:— Woertaa, itis the opmion of this Convention (ia av- coroance with ihe report aiready adopted) that itis very Oes)rable that each of the companies in the United Staics sbould upite in @ contribution toward the determination of the general experience of the rate of mortality among assured lives in the United States, Resvived, That Mesera Homans and Eadie, of New York, sud Russell, of Hartford, be appornted a commit: to carry inv elect the report on vital etatistics adopusd by the Convention. On wotwn, the Convention adjourned to meet on the requieition Of three of the companies represented in tac Couvention. “ THE BANQUET. The members of the Convention and several invited guests met in the evening and partook of a bouateous re. past, to which full justice was done. Morris Franklin, Eaq , Vice President of the Convention, presided, who in prefacing the regular toasts, made some eloquent remarks upon the subject of life insurance. Among all the chari- table and philanthropic institutions that adorned the azo in which we lived, there were few which more emphati- caily commended’ themselves to our feelings and judg ment than those which were connected with life ingu- rance. The companies did not profess to guarantoo exemption from death, poverty, disease, or tho many lg which flesh ‘s heir to; ‘but when the cold hand of death was laid upon their’ patrona, the tnsare-e honett!y and faithfully distributed the funds to those who ‘Were eutitied wo receive them at their hands. No life insu. rance company bad ever failed to redeem its obligations, (Applause ) A hfe insurance policy would not bring back e Dody of the deceased, but it alleviated the pangs of the bereaved, it cheered the beart of the widow and dried he orphen’s tears, _ He then propoeed the first regular toast, “The city of New York, the emporium of commerce and the financial centre of the commercial world,” to which Mayor Tuan Tespopded. On rising to do go, he was received with loud appiause, He said that he hoped to have the Streets cleaned soon, and dia not know bat it would ve Well 0 have 4 life insurance to prevent people from gotulng sunk ta tbe mud which had accumulated in tue street. (Langbter ) He Congratulate the conyention on meet to discuss the subjects which nffected their business, aud believed that eauitary roform would grow out of their action, for it was evident that it would be advan! 8 tO the respective companies to make the people as healthy as they could be made. Hie Honor went on to say that he was charged with defeating the passage of & pevitary law, He guessed he had defeated sani. tary Ja for be honestly believed thet they woaid have been of no benefit to the city of New York, and was of the opinion that such laws, and indeei gil legislative enactments, should be divested of all esi motives. He then proceeded to gige an interesting six: of the rige and progress of the City, andscoaciuded by eaying that, if such gentlemen a8 were present neg'ecte! to civcharge their duty at the ballot box they nad oo right to complain if honest and capable men wore not elected to mavage the city government. The eecood regulur toast, Life Insurance, the offapring of # union of profovné philanthropy with scientific ‘search, extend vg into ail lands, lending a helpiag hand to we wi- dow and the orphan, and wherever practiced a firm indvx of high moral teeing and commercial confidence,” was 1°¢ dio by Mr Borkeey, of Hartford, “The metical profession,” wna represented by Dr, Reese, who delivered a humorons and able speech, dwal. ling on the necessity of educating the people in eaultary The tables of mortality cow | Other appropriate senti?gepts were drank, and the com Pavy retired at a lave hour, after spending an exceedin! Pleasant evening. he Opening of the Nerthern Railroad 0 New Jersey. This road, although comparatively upkvown to th Pubic, bas been in the course of canstruction for the las yeer, In 4855 the company, formed principally of ta fuential citizens of Hackensack Valley, ob\ned thei, grant from the Legislatures of New York and Nev Jersey, and in February, 1868, formed a contract witt Mevers. Seymour & Tower for constructing the road, anc appointed Mr. Wm. Sneeden chief engineer, The epening ‘of this road was celebrated yesterday in the most joyous and convivial meouer, Two traing started at 103; A. M. from Jersey City, crowded excessively, and were greeted op their way throvgbout their route by enthusiastic de- monstations from the inbabitants of the fine atretch of country along the route. The proposed route of this road, when the Bergen tunnel is finished, is from a pont north of the Long Dock, at the juuction of a smail creek with the Hudson river, and at the extreme northern Jimit of Jersey City, through thie tunnel to the junction of the New Jersey Ratvoud and Erie Railroad at ybe Slanghte House, apd from thence nearly due vorth over Bellman’ creek, Where it is mtended a branch wball run to Hecken sack; thence it coutioues nearly paraliel to this creek, and then wetter y over Tevokiel creek to Oloster, and thence easterly to Blanch’s crossing, afterwards joiging the New York apd Erie Ratlroad, apd crossing the extreme end o the Piermont Dock and ite terminue, ‘This rond wtersects a country hitherto almost excluded from the busy world, the ouly access for its products to the New York markets bewg over torppikes, or by the cireuitos couree of the Eric road. It traverses a beaut fui country—on the eastern side roibog® fertile, and in muny places well cultivated, throngbout the route, in places near a wile» width to the Palieates, witn farm houres scattered at intervals. On the western side, after ‘caving the Junction, at the Slaughter House, the country te very flat, and extended ovo wide galt meadows, witn high hilt th ibe distance; but these are Succeeded at intervais, und after crogeig the Hackensack turnpike, and through out what is catled the Tenefly country, by rich, unduiat- ing, 200d grazing land, covered with shade trees. Toere ure MADY EXCelieDt sites for country seats on both sides of the route. The only possible objection that could be mada, fo them is the uDcoubted prevaieuce of moequitoes 10 thi flat eountry, which, although themselves very small, are jo this connection large considerations. The country 18 Lt rocky, Dor Very Woody Grover and co lections of timber, iron wood, the holly aud the cedar are frequent on the route, and, contrary to Many execu ances, fruit trees were not discernible iz much ‘sion. At Englewood, apparently aboutthe middie of the route,on the western side, there are farm wes, @ tavern, and luxuriant shade and fruit trees, Covering a rich country as far as the eye can extend; and on the east a rich, rolling country stretching to the Palisad and a large five frame building on the slope, irrounded with fhede trees, which is a young ladies’ boaraing schooi, kept by Sheldon Norton, and called the Palisaaes Josvitute. Mr. Norton is most advantageously located for this purpose since the completion of this road. The Young Jacies were all at the station as the trains stopped, | tmiing ond waving their handkerchiefs, The contrac: Wre—Mesers. Seymour and Tower—bave a@ lease of the Toad for ten years. The advantages to be derived by the Pebhe from ths route, as set forth by the constructors and directors, are these:—Tnis road will bring into close coprection wih the ciy a bigbly cultivated region of country—almost secluded trom the rest of the world— abounomg with fine grazing felds, fruits, and all kinds of berries, einong which 13 the etrawberry, in great pro fusion; thug reperipg 1t easy for the city to receive a ‘ew supply of fresh milk, vegetables and fruits. Already a milk compaoy hae been formed, called the Rockland County and . ergen Milk Assocration, of whicn Thomas W. Dewarcet is president, and 8. W. Candeid, general agent. Tis office ts at 146 Baat Tenth etreet. As @ proof of the abundance of strawberrics in this country, it is aflirmed that two million baskets were sent to this city ib one day last year, over the turnpikes,whicn now ean reach the cliy, uninjured, in an hour’s time. Avother copsiceration the company calculates upon, is, the inducemens thie pleasant country will afford to build- ing country seats aiong the route ot the road. Tt 18 consigered that this road wili prove a success, for the ressons that it will, ubhke the Erie road, accommo- date itse)f to local travel, and m the winter time it ie gup. posed that it wall receiveall the passenger travel from Ny uck—which is only three miles from ite terminus—aad that of ait the adjacent conutry. There are bo short turns in the route, aod but twoor three gradual curves—the deepest grade being but 14 feet. Toe Toad cost, 10 all, about $374,000, and $17,000 per foot, in- cluding the roliing stock, It is the intention of the company to commence running the trains regulary the 80th of this monto. stages con hect with the traing at Aackensack Junction—three miles from Hackereack; at Sotraaienderg, one of the stations, for New Millord; at Piermont for Nyack, Clarkstown aod New City. The country is sparsely settled, but throughout the pas- sage of the trains up the road the farmers, the girls and Ane boys, al! turned out avd Falured them with cucers and the waving of not only hanakerchiefs, but towels, pillow Cases, apd ever blankets. At Brancn’s Corners the road joins ihe Erie agayp. Soon aiter leaving bere the eesigbed for the reception of the guests loomed into decorat’d with fags and festooned in out with greens. Over track leading to this builoing strings of flags were suspended. and the locomotives in the vicinity were all profuse'y decorated, and gome of them ‘ooking very beautiful. On reaching the building, which by the-hy was about two feet from the water’s edge, at the most extreme end of the route porsible, the crowd found tabies spread and filled with Cold ments, sencwicbes und oysters in abundance, Atthe latter part of the collation cham sagne corks flew rapidly, end punch bows were emptied as {ast as toey could be filed, There waga fire company pacecot, fiom Jersey cry, in their red ehirta, and a few members of a milttary company, Who restraned the crowd in their impewuous cbarges on the eatabies At the middie of the building a plutform stood cavopied with fags, on which were the committee and hevorery guests of the occasion. The committee was composed of isaac M. Dederer, B. 8. Sey- mour, ©, D. Van Wagenen, R. 3 Demarest, Joon W. Fer. don, 1. Van Brunt, Among the guests’ were Jobn Dorsey, President of the New Jersey Railroad; Jona P. Juckeon, the Vice President: Hon. D.S Gregory, Rev. Dr. urghard, Ev-Governor Price, New Jersey; Mr. der- ring, Of Bergen, late Preeideut of the New decsey State Senate. and the Mayor and Common Conneit of Jersey City. After tbe agsembly of hungry sand thirsty gaeste bad catisfled themeeives, General Nye stepped forward and I freely contese, gentlemen, my head is somewhat wed. Te was’ gratitied to see bis friend Mr. Seymour on the right. He felt thet ia that deep vale of humility true greatness liz, and whea be saw aleo bis friend Joba Bung, he koew he would h yood time. He had jearned to duy what he had lenced a thousand times, that otter peogle’s juc wos better than bis own. He was glad that oe ended th.s celebration, for many reasons, aud ¢ becouse he fuund chat’ Joraeymen were just like of mortality. They “ breathed, eat, draok and enjoyed (hemselves.”” Atter mauy moré remurka, which amused the crowd considerably, Senator Hubbell made a few re: warks. Gen. Talimsrge then mounted a stool aud spoke onetly. Here Mr. Tower, ove of the covtractors aad ies- eces Of the road, read bis report. He said tast when hie sesociate Mr. Seymour, and him dertook tae con struction of the Northern Railroad of New Jersey, it was uncer circumsiances of toe greatest perplexity aad dis couregement A fearful panic bad just swept over tne land, Jeaving but the wreck of individual credits aod cor- poration securities. Railroad securities, in particular, had subk to the lowest ebd they bad ever reached, and indi- vicual credits founded upou them, or in any manner { ten. tided witb them, were the most unmarketanle of all tae commodities offered for sale. Doubts as to che pract- cability of the enterprise were freely diecussed at home and abroad; doubts, too, as to the good faith and respon- sibility of the contractors were quite as freely expressed, and, a8 @ natural covseqnence, there grew outot these opinions whether the road would ever be fiaished or not. Superadded w all these circumstances, so annoying to us, was the fact that we came here etraogers among & proverbiaily prudeat, watebful and heaest people. Got be forgot ali these circumstances in the gati of feeling that the work which is now prosecut de. flanee of the difficulties of position and the obstacles of nature is fully and satisfactorily completed, and I stand here to-day to celebrate an event so fraught with triumph to me and go full of promise, as I do verily believe, to the people of Northern New Jersey and Rockland county of New York.
