JOSEPH DART, &Prim* EUROPEAN LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY OFFICE, 10, 01/11111AM-PLACit, BLaCIMIARS, Lamm. T HIS COMPANY is formed on p r i nc i p l es com bining every degree of security with advantages superior to any previously steered to the Public. It consists of a number of Proprietors who are required to assure on their own Lives, or en those of approved Nominees, Sums proportionate to their re speedy' Shares, oa every Transfer of which a new Insurance is required to be effected. This system, by the perpetual renevmion of Policies, secures the stability and growing prosperity of the Company, and is productive of great benefit to the Assured, who participate in the Profits arising from this regulation, without being respoosible for the engagements of the Company, which are se cured by a large subscribed capital. In the year Mile, when the European Company was formed, the Directors caused Rates of Insurance to be calculated from the amalgamated Life Tables of all Europe, which produced results ower than the Rates of any Comp°, then established, and which will still be found lower than any of the Tables of Companies mere recently formed, which admit the Assured to s participation in tbq profits; and this difference Is so considerable, as to be in the nature of an Annual Bonus to the Assured. The affairs of the Company are managed by a Board of Twelve Directors, whit% sits every WEDNESDAY throughout the I've:, at the company's Olice, No. 10, Chatham place, Blackfrisrs. Pro- spectuses may be had at the Dike, or of any of the Proprietors.

MALTA, AUGUST 20. PRIVATE LETTER. This once happy little island is now likely to be in volved in the same disturbances as the other Colonies, by the eternal meddling of the Methodists. We have no lest than four Clergymen of that sect, who are con tinually harping at the Milteseto change their religion, which frequently leads to serious conflicts between them. I need not tell you that the Maltese are zealous bigots in their religion, therefore any attempt on the part of the Saints to corrupt them, if I may so express it, will be attended with inconvenience to the Government, and danger to the reverend persons themselves. An affray of this kind took place here on the 6th in• stant, which (if it had not been that the Maltese are na turally a quiet and peaceable people) might have ter minated seriously. An old Maltese, who had been banished the island in the time of the Order of Knights, afterwards went to France, and was employed as one of Robespierre's spies during that tyrant's reign, for which s e rv ic es h e was promoted to a pl ace in the rallies for fifteen years; af ter which period he found his way to Rome, and was employed by the Chief of Police in the same capacity, and was subsequently banished that city also. On the peace of 1815, he returned to Malta, supposing his for mer crimes had been forg o tt en , and that change of po litical circumstances would, at least, secure him from punishment. However, this worthy personage was re cognised, abandoned by all his relations, and detested by all who knew him; and finding himself in this situaa tion he became a convert to the doctrine of the Saints. As time puts an end to all things, this culprit termi nated a long life, devoted to crime and infamy, in the Public Hospital, on Saturday, the sth inst. Now came on the struggle between the Saints and the Maltese Priests; Some said that the wretch, previous to his death, wished to have a Confessor, and the Methodists having heard it, kept his bedside barricadoed, so that the Priests were not admitted, and by manceuvres of this kind succeeded in their object. Oa Monday, as the funeral passed up from the Civil Hospital, a crowd of boys and idle persons collected, and as the character of the deceased was well known to all, the boys began to hiss and shout. When the pro. cession came opposite to the main guard, and in front of the Palace, still surrounded by the mob, one of the Clergymen, without the least necessity, leaped out of the carriage in his robes, and went to the Officer of the Guard, and insisted upon having an escort to the plate of interment. The Officer in the meantime, sent a few, soldiers to take chow of the hearse, and to disperse the crowd of boys and ,jdle persons who were col. lected (for there was not one respectable individual among them), until the arrival of the police, who bad been sent for. When the police arrived, the mob was dispersed, and the Saint resentered his carriage ,ender the escort of an officer's guard, and a body of polite, and thus the fune ral proceeded to the place of 'lnterment. When it reached the first gate, the moh was stopped by the guard, so that, on the outside of the first gate, there was no crowd at all. However, the mob waited the return of the Methodists; and when they again re entered the town, they began hissing and shouting, and some say stones were even thrown ; but I saw the whole, and did not see a single act of violence offered to any one. The two Parsons went to their respective houses; and it is said that one of them took fire arms into his balcony, and threatened to fire on the mob in front of the house. I believe it was not the case, however, as no mob was permitted to collect at all before his house, owing to the vigilance of the Maltese Fencible Guards stationed there for that purpose. But the Saints did what was very indecorous, and, at the moment, might have been attended with great dart. ger to themselves—they illuminated their chapel in the evening, as a signal of victory ; this irritated the Mal tese very much. I should not omit to tell you that the Private Secret. tary of Lord Cochrane, Mr. Hesketls, came over here some time since from Sicily. It appears from what he mentioned, that his Lordship was then in the Unicorn yacht, at Messina, and waiting, most anxiously, for the squadron of steam vessels from England. ,His Lordship was also surprised that the,Committee had been so su pine in the matter, as he conceived they had time enough, from his engagement with them to have had everything in perfect pre(aration. His object here was, to try the spirit of the Government with respect to Greece, to know what forces we had in the Levant,and whether the steam vessels bad touched at Malta or not. Lord Cochrane went under the name of Mr. Blair, at Messina, and consequently passed unknown. Mr. Hes kech statedohat in the event of Lord Cochrane opt. rating against the Turks, it is his intention to establish a small cutter between Malta and his cruising points, for the purposes of carrying on a more perfect and sure correspondence, independently of the Continent. Commercial letters trout llanizic speak of an alarm. ing advance in the price of potatoes. In last October, 18 florins was the currency of what now brings 701 Accounts lions Bucharest mention that symptoms of the plague had made t leis appearance in the town, and several persons had been conveyed to the lazaretto. Advices from Vera Crua to the 2d July, mention that a convoy of mules, bearing one million two hundred thousand dollars, arrived on the 24th June. The Spa nish 74, which was delivered over by her crew to the Mexicans last year, at Acapulco, having been refined, and a crew of 600 men placed on board, sailed from that port on the 12th June, intending to touch at Val paraiso, on her way round Cape Horn for Vera Cruz. A report had reached Mexico that the expedition from Carthagena was nearly ready for sea ; its force wasstated to be at twenty-nine sail of vessels of war, &c. The Greeks and Romans ate oysters at the beginning of the repast. They opened them at table, and preferred the largest. Fulvins Urpinus invented a method of fatting them, and Apicius of keeping them a long time fresh. Stews for preserving and fattening them are as. cribed by Macrobius to Sergius Orate, in order to make money by the sale of them. Our oysters, much valued by the Romans, are supposed to be those of Folkestone. Our ancestors barreled and pickled them, and judged of their goodness by the greenness of the fin (query, beard?) I s
