    attract mountebank seekers , wlio have alxvnys a keen eye to get ample valuefor their penny . According to the tabulated statement included in pp . 121-and 125 of the pamphlet , it appears that during the six . months ending the 31 st J > ecenil > er last , the Svliole amount of premiums received by the first attempt at " Consols Insurance" amounted to only £ 757 0 s . 2 d . Amove remarkable instance of unmistakable failure in the promulgation of any Assurance scheme , of the same ambitious - . pretensions , cannot be adduced . In consideration of this small sum the Association is under a contingent liability of as much ns £ 25 , 0 . 85 Is " , od . Now , if we suppose that , owing to the ' limited number of SI- lives at risk , any severe mortality should occur , such as has repeatedly happened amongst other small numbers of lh'es where similar risks were pending , ¦ w hence are to be derived the funds to discharge the claims , unless recourse be had to borrowing ? And hence the importation of all the worst possible evils of Assurance institutions which heedlessl y start with little or no guarantee capital to protect the Assured in their early stages . . There are , in this world , some men so ; -. extraordinary , possessing accomplishments so unique and mysterious , that , in defiance of soiuid financial laws , they will sustain and carry through weak institutions , and even so invigorate those that are involved that they speedily become beacons and guiding stars to all aspirants to fame and distinction . It would be rash in any ordinary mortal to -predict' with confidence , How far the objections which may be . Urged" against the weak financial condition of the ' . " Consols Insurance Association" at the . period of being launched , was compensated for . by the surpassing abilities of . the staff . The . ' . managing '¦ director has tried his hand in half-a-dozen previously established companies , -but with what success we do not venturo to determine ; but it- would be interesting and curious to . many to know what proportion of his former supporters still repose confidence in his leadership . Two-thirds of the advertised directors . aie , according to the Pott May ( tzlne Almanac , also Directors of other Companies , but not of those with which lie washimself formerly associated . They are lion ever undoubtedly highly respectable and ¦ responsible , ' arid-no mistake could be greater or more reprehensible than to suppose that these men were , as is sometimes the case , mere guinea parasites , sucking the vitals of the Association . The Actuary , as all others are , is of course a harmless and inoffensive person , who is exempted ; : from all responsibility as to the issue of the adventure ; protected under the same shield which shelters the barrister , he gives only opinions . To quarrel , therefore , with the opinion of an actuary would be a downright absurdity , because no one knows the groundwork of it but himself ; and ' as the medical man can at all times plead justifiable homicide by misadventure , so can the actuary lav equal claim tppvoteetion from acknowledged inexperience and want of data in an empirical craft Avhich is only asyet a candidate for admission to scientific distinction . " We find , however , that the actuary . of this , laudable scheme has suffered injustice at our hands— -of course unintentionally—in tlicpreceding remarks , for there has since been pointed out tons the important part which he played in the " Pemale Endowment Society , " by which he and the present solicitor of the " Consols Insurance Association" threatened to set the Thames on fire , but , somehow or other , didn't or 'couldn ' t , or wouldn ' t ; and by a most unaccountable and unexplained accident the name of this Amazonian , heroine in Assurance warfare nowhere appears in the narrative of this discriminating and impartial pamphlet . The remarkable modosty which therein shows itself in studiously keeping the Assurance adventures of its auth or's in the baekgvound , is certainly highly commendable ; and it is , therefore , to Ihi dcwply regretted and ever to bp remembered that . lloyal notions 6 f the value of self-abnegation are , in this country , at so 1 )\ v tin ebb , as to mako nothing short of-positive excellence worthy of the award of a Victoria nwdul . To use the choice term employed in ' their own morcenux already referred to , we have here si whole " biitph" of novelties palmed on our confiding simplicity , - as being the real Simon-1 ' ures of everything which , in this bold nnd ndventurous world , can lay claim to the smallest modicum of Assurance For this let us be thnukful , and at the same time not overlook in this or in any other like project , however plausible , the imperative necessity of the existence ) of those guarantee !? , so Ossentinl to success ' in every now wooer of our t ' tivours , am amply paid up capital , nnd skilful tuul proved officials . All experienced members of tho eoinnu'rcinl world must know thnt mo Lift ) Assurance scheme over proved successful which was ushered into existence under n flaunty display of banners , nnd with such n noisy flourish of drums and trumpets , Let all wlio . euro for sound digestion rHVniu from nulls and souKUets , wliothor tho rennet bo gastronomic oi financial .
