THIS Company is founded upon the principle of dividing the whole of its Profits amongst the Proprietors and such Persons as have effected Insurances. To the Proprietors a fair rate of Interest will be paid on their advanced Capital, with a Bonus of One-third of the Profits ; and to the insured (whether Proprietors or not), a Bonus of the remaining Two thirds, in pro portion to the Premiums paid by each on Policies of not less than One Year's duration. The Interest will be paid Annually, and the Bonuses will be divided every Seven Years. The subscribed Capital of Five hin.t.rous is divided into 250,000 Shares of £2O each, upon which Two Pounds per Share, amounting to £500,600, bare been paid and invested ; rand as each Proprietor is bound to effect and keep up Insurances equal to the amount of his Shares, or to pay a fine of One Shilling per Share annually, the Company secures a certain and accumulating business, the Profits of which will be divided amongst all who are connected with it, whether as Proprietors or Insurers ; thus the Proprietor has a profitable in vestment of his Capital, and the Insured participates largely in the profits of a Company, whose business is commanded by the number and obligations of its Proprietors. An Insurance in advance fur Six Years, entitles the Insurer to the benefit of Seven Years Insurance. Losses will be settled and paid promptly; and claims submitted to Arbitration, if required. Losses by Lightning will be made good. No charge will he made for Polices of £3OO and upwards. The Company have made the following REDUCTION in the RATES of PREMIUM hitherto charged on the three common classes of Insurance. The Reduction applies equally to Insurances in London and throughout the Country, except in special cases. Ist Class is reduced from 2s. to ls. 6d. per Cent. 2d . 3s. to 2s. 6d. 3d• . 6s. to 4s. 6d. The Directors call the attention of the Proprietors to the obli gation which they are under, of effecting, on or before the sth day of Janpary next, by themselves or substitutes, an Insurance to the extent of Twenty Pounds per Share; as all Shares tben unco vered by Insurance will be liable to a fine of One Shilling per Share. Persons desirous of becoming Agents to this Company in Places and Districts where Appointments have not yet been made, are requested to address their applications and reierenees to the Se cretary. WILMER HARRIS, Secretary. STORM AT CADIZ. _ow— On the morning of the 7th inst. the Bar of Cadiz exhibited a scene of the greatest disaster which has occurred there since 1810. On the 4th and sth the weather was cloudy, with occasional falls of rain, accompanied with thunder and lightning, and on the night of the 6!11, at 10 P.M. the wind rose to almost a hurr:cane, during which gale several vessels in the bay went on shore on the opposite coast, in different direc tions. The Tea Plant, of New York, a very fine ship, which had but a few days before anchored in the bay, from Havannah, with a valuable cargo of sugars, broke from her chain moorings, and went on shore nearly at the mouth of the river Stn Pedro, which runs into the bay of Cadiz, between the Trocadero and Puerto Santa Maria. At five this evening she was still fast, with a heavy cargo in, and a high sea run. ning; no lighters could approach her for the purpose of unloading. At the same time, and nearly in the same situati)n, an American brig went on shore; but as she was in ballast, and the gale setting in at high water, she is so far beyond the breakers, that it is to be hoped, she will be got off without much damage. Several Spanish Ma ni,la tress. is went on shore above Puntalis, and one Ame rican brig run nearly into a salt-pit, close to the Isla. A circumstance m •re unfortunate than a:iy occurred to the American schooner Rehoboth, belonging to M . [PRICE SEVEN PENCE. Hormones, of New York, laden nritn toci•ti, f ons Ca mew. Oft the morning of the gale she had moved up towards Fantails, there being better anchorage, and smdother water in that situation, and as the schooner was short out her first vnyage, the Captain,' an old er perie ced sailor of 38 years' standing, loieseeing the storm approach, made the best point in the harbour he possibly could ; but, with all human precaution, it was his f.ite to see his vessel become a total wreck. At half-past ten at night, heavy rain and lightning, a squall came, when all hands were on deck, which sent the schooner in an in taut on her beam ends, and in less than five minutes more she was keel uppermost. During this disrter the men regained her bottom, but the Captain being a little more unfortunate than .the rest, was thrown with considerable violence into the sea, but he too escaped the perils of the deep, by getting hold of a cable, which caught him in the hood, by which he was enabled to regain the vessel, after a most painful exertion of an hour in the water. The Captain and crew were in this situation from half-past eleven o'clock till two in the Morning, not knowing but every moment would be their last, with eyes fixed upon the Heavens, and prayers offered to Hist " - Whose hands the light'ning forms, " Who heaves old ocean, and who wings the storms." The ALMIGHTY seemed, on this occasion, to have broken through general laws, and to have armed one of his creatures with sufficient courage to rescue the un fortunate crew of this vessel from inevitable destruction. M. Bezeres, master of the French merchant brig Constance, not lying far from the scene of disaster, was anxiously walking on the deck, about one in the morn ing, at which period the wind was somewhat abated, but a heavy sea rolling, perceived at a distance the wreck of the :schooner, and the crew upon her keel; the brave Bezeres lost not a moment in calling his men forward, to induce them to volunteer their services to rescue their fellow-creatures from an untimely end; the men, as brave as himself, instantly complied, tk boat was lowered, the Captain of the La Constance Meted with his men, fearless of death, and in defiance of the storm, succeeded in reaching the wreck of the schooner at two in the morning, to the agreeable surprise of the unfortunate men, who were now taken into the boat and arrived safe at La Constance, where they were furnished with dry clothes,'and entertained in a most liberal manner during that night and the next day; and yesterday Ciey were landed at Pantalis, the weather being less tempestuous. It is not yet known the extent of destruction, as all the ,vesse:s are still on shcre, and no appearance of fine wer. her. One of the French frigates dragged, though she was moored with four anchors and cables; but, very fortunately, as yet no accident has occurred to any English vessel in the bay, though several are full of wine for London, detained ,from sailing by contrary winds. It was expected here this morning that the sh lailikessle.muderabte damage during the gale of FfinM THE ETOILE OF WEDNESDAY. g in Gibraltar •'.► CADIZ, Diregmsen to. It is not only in the North that the fury of the ele ments. has been felt. Since the 6:h of this month we have had a tempest such as has not occurred within the memory of Man. In the flight of the sth, the rain fell in torrents; the day of the 6th was not quite so dark as the night that preceded it. The whole horizon was loaded with heavy dark clouds; and the rain con tinued. At nine in the evening, d rapid tall of the barometer announced a l►ntricane, and in a few mi• mites a north-west wind arose so violent, that the win dows of the houses were di iven in, the doors wrenched from their hinges, the chimneys thrown 4.ewn, the celebrated tower blown down, the tie.ts torn . npby the roots, and even the nin•t solid substances became the sport of the elements. Ttr: houses damaged were Innu merable, and the losses immense ; hut it is principally in the Bay that the devastation has taken place, espe. cially from the mouth of the San Palo to the Troca dero. There, the following vessels were violently driven on shore:—The Buenos Amigos, of the house of Picardo ; the American Gigue, Tea Paint ; the Spanish frigate, Astrea; an American schcoaer ; a Dutch vessel, a schooner, and two brigs, were sunk in the Bay itself: twelve other vessels were thrown on the coast; the Spanish brig Loreto, lost its mizen•mast ; a very few of these vessels will be able to repair .their damages; the others are totally lost. It is not yet known how many pt./pins have perished by this disaster. The subscription for Gen. Fny's family amounted, nn Monday, to nearly 568,000 francs, almost to 23,0001. sterling. Sever.l candidates have °feted themselves PIT the seat in the Chamber of Deputies vacant by the General's decease. Among them are. M. Dui in, the eloquent advocate, wh sn successfully defended the Constitutionnel, M. Lalitte, the liberal banker, and General Sebastiani. CONSTANTINOPLZ, N4ll/. 25.—For the infnrma'ion of the shipping interests, no vessels passing up or down the i llitrdanelles, should attempt to do so during the night, nor even during the day ()light they to pass the Castles without being previously visited there. Ignorance or neglect of this ceremony has already exposed some vessels to the danger of being fired at, and bad copse. quences are to be apprehended if this intimation be not strictly attended to; Several vessels hive gone ashore on- sand-banks in that neighbourhood, and it would therefore be advisable that Captains be provided with the best charts of that navigation. Piracies become daily more frequent in the Arches, and.though the Bri tish flag has hitherto been peculiarly fortunate in ea. caping, it ought not to be forgotten that the danger may increase. YoungEucern GUILLEMINOT, the only remaining son of Count GolLLEntirioT, French Ambassador to the Ottoman Porte, was lately shooting in the environs of Constantinople, when he let his fowling piece drop, and it went off and shattered his arm; the surgeon of the Emb.issy extracted eighty shots, but tetanus ensued ; it was hoped to remove it by the amputation of the arm, but the most alarming symptomi returned, and the unfortunate young man died at the end of twenty four days, after the most dreadful sufferings. He bolo them with the greatest courage, only exclaiming, ‘, Had I but fallen under the fire of the enemy, and ih the sight of the Prince I" He had distinguished him self on several occasions in the last war in Spain. i:f : )7, 4.. e ~..
