ADVANTAGES EXCLUSIVELY BELONGING TO THIS INSTITUTION. PREMIUMS for Young and Middle-aged Lives lower than in any Office in England ; payable Annually, Half. yearly, or Quarterly, or for a limited number of Years only. A Temporary precautionary Capital of £200,000, which will be paid off as soon as an adequate Surplus Capital shall have been ac cumulate.' from the Premiums , for short terms ; thus the sub scribed Capital serves as a Security to the Assured without perma- 1 nently draining the Profits. Three-fourths of the Profits divided amongst the Assured, until the Shareholders are paid off, and thenceforth the entire Profits, by additions to their Policies, with Interest thereon in Reduction of the Premium. The Trustees sign every Policy, and give the Assured an imme diate remedy against the Fund itself. On the back of every Policy for the whole Term of Life, is a Scale of its true value from Year to Year, at which price the So ciety contract to purchase it, or to Lend two-thirds thereof to the Holder, to enable him to continue the future Premiums without inconvenience. The Assured having the Contract of the Trustees- to purchase Policies, may reduce the Annual Premiums at pleasure. For in stance, by taking Ten Policies of £lOO each, instead of one of £l,OOO, whenever a Bonus of £llO is added to the gross amount, the Assured, by selling one Policy to the Society, will receive its true value, and reduce his Premium one-tenth, without diminish ing the £l,OOO. Thus, he may either apply the Bonus in augmen tation of the Suns Insured, or in Reduction of his future Premiums. There are no Agents to the Institution, and consequently the Commissions which would be allowed to them are properly de ducted from the Premiums of the Assured. A Physician or Consulting Surgeon of eminence in every prin cipal Town is attached to the Society. Proposals from the Country to be sent to the Resident Director, who will give all proper information, to save the necessity of per sonal attendance, before the Board. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 18t5.

LATEST ASCEAT ON MONT BLANC. 44 llsswx Suissw, S►rr. 4, 1825. " Among other eccentricities of my life, I have just completed the difficult and dangerous task of reaching the summit of Mont Blanc. A few hasty particulars may amuse you. Dr. Edmund Clarke, myself, and twelve guides, started from Chamouni on Thursday, the 25th of August : we reached the summit on Friday, the 26th, and arrived back at Chamouni en Saturday, the 27th.—The two nights we were absent we slept, of course, on the eternal snows, in an atmosphere of twelve degrees below freez;ng. The dangers and difficulties of passing the' Ulaciers des Bossons and that of Tac conai, and subsequently traversing the immense plains of snow to arrive at the top, will all be more fully detailed in a pamphlet which is to be published at Geneva in the course of ten days, as soon as our narrative is ready. The barometer was ten inches lower with us than in the Valley de Chamouni, where we had a man stationed to observe the mercury. The thermometer at twelve o'clock in the sun was 2-12 below fre, zing only; our pulses varied from 100 to 150. The rarity of the atmosphere had very serious effects on us ail; one or two of the guides bled profusely at the nose ; one spit blood during a whole day ; I vomited during eighteen hours with little intermission. Sleep overcame us at every moment; but my principal guide, Coutet, son of him who went with Monsieur de Saussure in 1717, would not permit me to sleep on the snows a long time, fearing the frost, &c. One of • the most remarkable things is the most perfect silence which reigns on the top of Mont Blanc. You do not hear one thing. The sky is dark, quite indigo. The full moon in such a black ground was the finest thing imaginable; one star was visible only; our faces almost all peeled, and our eyes were very much swollen. It was a hazardous thing. The last ascension was four years since, when three guides perished by an avalanche. We sealed op a bottle with names and dates, and plunged it in the snow. Some hundred years hence it will perhaps come to light, for we have ascertained the probable rate of movement of the glaciers. We found no autographs of any sort! God bless you. " MARKHAM SHERWILL." MEXICO. FROM THE OACRTA DIARIO OF MEXICO, Hostilities have again been commenced between the Royalists of the Castle of St. Juan de Ulloa and the town of Vera Cruz, in consequence of a stratagem of the Mexican brig Victoria, which, by using French colours, succeeded in capturing a Spanish gun-boat, and a row-boat with a number of Officers. The firing from the Castle commenced on the 19th of August, but was not returned until the day following, in orckr to give the inhabitants time to retire into the country. On the evening of the 20th, a tremendous fire was kept up on both sides. The ship Asia, which surrendered some time ago, has been directed by the President to be called the Mexican Congress. The mines of Zacatecas, from the year 1546 to 1818, have produced 69,614,409 mares of silver, equivalent to 608,102,319 dollars. The total receipts of the public Treasury for the month of May, were 489,655 &Mars ; the disburse ments for the same period, 434,367 dollars. The port of Tampico, during the dominion of the Kings of Spain, was a mere resort of illicit commerce. Its importance is at this time well understood. The greater part of die goods used in the Provinces of New Santander, Leon, Coahuila, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas, Durango, &c. are introduced through this port. The Custom-house produces an annual amount of duties ofl 195,000 dollars. The river of Guasacualco affords the best port in the Gulf of Mexico. It is the only river that will admit vessels of war, there being at all seasons twenty-two feet of wrer on the bar at its mouth. This river is navigable for large vessels sixty or seventy miles into the inierior: and it is not strange that the Spanish Go vernment should have refused to the inhabitants of Oajaca the benefits of such extensive navigation. If a canal,should be cut thr..ugh the isthmus of Tehuan tepec, an establi hment will necessarily be formed on tile river for the use of the navy. The Mexican Suit states, that a circular has been sent by his Holi; ess to the Archbishops and Bishops of America. It received the approbation Of his Catholic • :Majesty, after iconsultation with the Supreme Council of the Indies. The Pope dwells on the injury &Me to . SERMONS BY DR. PALEY NOW FIRST PUBLISHED. .

Senhor Michelena, the Mexican' Envoy to his Bri tannic Majesty, in communicating the circular to bis Government, says, that he had taken occasion to ex press to the Apostolic See the true sentiments of tht Government and peocle of Mexico, that whilst they were disposed to pay every respect to the Head of the Chutch, in a question of independence aid libetty, they would not confer with any temporal power about their form of government, voluntarily adopted, or cons rent to lay aside their hatred of a tyrant, whose sop posed virtues are commended in the circular. .SPAIN. FROM THE CIURIBR FRANCAIS, OF OCTOBER 15. MADRID, OCTOBER 3. Though the Government, it is said, is busy in pre parjag reveral important Affairs, to be laid before the Consultative Junta, we'kr i ow for certain that it has therto been consulted on the following questions The Municipalities; 2. The SeignorialJurisdictions; S. The means of bringing our finances into a flouri,hing condition, and of making savings, reforms, &c. On the last point Mr. Elola proposed that the Go 7 vetnment should be advised to suspend all gratuitous pensions, &c. The Junta app.inted a Committee, con sisting of Messrs. EWA, Parga, Caballero, Juana Pinilla, and another Member, to examine the proposal. This Committee met to-day, and pronounced the proposal to be prematute. The Government has desired the Junta to ask for all the information, documents,' &c. that it may want, and' to propose the internal regulation for its proceedings. M. torgolia has signifild that he is at prebent con fined to his bed, but that, as soon as he is recovered, and has put his affairs in order, wculd repair to Madrid, to exercise the functions which it has been thought fit to confide to him. The Count d'Espagne, who has been for some time at the Royal residence, complains much of the cool recep tion he meets with from the courtiers about his Majesty. These Gentlemen doubtless bear him a grudge for having so speedily dispatched Bessieres. The King, however, seems to shew him great regard. As our si tuation becomes every day worse, the English capitalist', on whom the Government placed some hopes of a loan, have plainly declared that the present situation of Spar is such as not to inspire the smallest confidence; that the principal Proprietors are proscribed or in prison ; that those who return from America with their fortunes do not venture to land in the Peninsula, being terrified by the accounts of what is passing there; lattly, that even it the Government would give all the securities required of it, and would bind itself in the most sol. ma manner, they would not feel any more confidence o t that account, since a Royal Decree, according to our absolute system, can annul the most sacred contracts. Our fanatics are in a rage at seeing things regarded in this light by the very persons who, say they, lavished their gold on the Revolutionists, and will not open their purses for a legitimate Government like ours. The Etoile dated Sunday, 16th October, contains more at length than it has beforeteen published,the Act of the Government of the lonian Islands, prescribing the regulations under which Corfu is declared a free port from the Ist September this year. STO47K-JOBBING AND BANKING. FROM THE JAURNAL DES DEBATS, OCTOBER 15. Nothing is spoken of in the financial world but the favour which a banker of Paris, who figured lately in the Liberal Opposition, enjoys with our Minister of Finance. Mazarin used to ask " Is he lucky ?" M. Villele need not ask such a question of a man who has given such proofs of his capacity, in the loan of the Cones. We must expect to see some new and wonderful project burst forth. Already a perfected system of annuities has been announced. In thirty-four years the debt will be annihilated ! Meanwhile there are whispers of a sett tain combination to ruin the unlucky Three per Cents, Europe, once so military, has suddenly changed its character. Soldiers hive been metamorphosed into stockjobbers, they have sought fortune amidst the ruinous hazards of the Steeds Exchange, carrying thither with them the same ardour with which they pursued her amidst the perils of war. A single family has been sufficient to give the impulse • to this new species of occupation which now employs all classes. It was the renewal of the system of law. Some fortunes are said to have been acquired, but the ruin is incalculable. Actuated by the same spirit, having the same inte rest, and .being spread over the principal parts of Europe, this family, which is immensely rich, influences the financial operations of every country. These persons, possenin4 considerable talent, have access to the Cabinets of Ministers. If there should be occasion for it, the estafettes of Government are at their disposal, and, while every facility is I, iven to o,eir agents, the couriers of commercial men are subject cu a thousand formalities at their departure, on their route, and on their arrival. These men, already so wealthy, are ambitious of becoming still more so, their cupidity being insatiable. They have negociated the loans of every Government, and, effectually to shut out competi tion, have been bidders upon very high terms. Little 'was gained upon each transaction, but every transaction passed through their hands. Serious inconveniences have been the result. In the first place, the Public Funds were raised to a price completely fictitious; and in the next, these gigantic operations, which, to be suc cessful, ought to be opened to the whole of the moaied interest, wire confined to a single family. Thesecosmopolite bankers, being in extensive baying at their disposal a large amount of specie and of stock, anJ pursuing their own interest, may produce at any place a scarcity or an abundance of the DR.
