The disposition of the Managers has kept pace with their means. SIXTY-TOUR THOUSAND PIESONS have sought Protection in the Comm- Orrice, and have found it. Cutts* , knee been paid to One Thousand Three Hundred and FAY aliments, and NOT A SINGI.R LITIGATION has occurred with any, Claimant. Exempt front the expenses of law suits, and also from the sacrifices to which some Offices submit to procure business, rent oecumulaliOnd have been made. In these, Persons who now insult participate equally with the original Members. Returns of 9.5 and 9.0 per Cent. in consequence have been INvARIASLY TAM to ALL PERSONS who have continued insured seven years, upon Antim. as well as upon Septennial Policies. 136,000 have hen returned in this way to about 20,000 Persons Insured, within the last eight years—an important advantage which no ether Insurance Office affords.

To avoid the errors of former impressions, those printed at Geneva, in 1739-42 and 1760, were carefully collated with each other, and subsequently each sheet was minutely scrutinised by a Gentle man of the University of Cambridge; the result was the disco very and removal of multitudes of mistakes which were in the former editions, and which were very much calculated to mis lead the student. The Publishers have, therefore, the fullest confidence that this will be found by far the most accurate, as it is the most elegant, edition of the Pittseirts ;—the mathematical reader is aware that the Annotations of the .le,uit, form the only complete COSSMNTA kr upon the Work, and the Publi,hers hope that in thus combining them in an economical form they have done an acceptable service to the scientific world.

Monday the Gentlemen of his MAJESTY'S Chapel Royal had their Annual heart at Freemasons Tavern, when, in addition to some fine haunches of venison sent them by the KING, several rarities were pro duced, w hich were served up in a complete and ex cellent style—there was nothing to regret but every thing to praise.—" Non Nobis Domine," " God save the King," and numerous delightful Glees were sung. —Sir GEORGE SMART posided at the pianoforte. TILE KING'S THEATRE.—There was a most elegant audience last night to witness the representation of l'ictra L'Eremita, and the Ballet of Centhillon, both of which went off, as usual, with infinite eclat. Their Royal Highnesses the Pi incess AUGUSTA, Duke of Gno yersrEn, Duchess of KENT, and Prince and Prin cess of DENMARK honoured the i.erformances with their presence. ENGUISH OPERA HousE.—That prodigy of juve nil: excellence, Mis 4 CLARA FISHER, appeared for the first time at this Theatre last night, as the Actress ofAll Wos L. She went through the whole of its various parts in a manner that not oily afforded unmixed de light, but excited the utmost admiration and astonish ment throughout. In the Turnpike Gale the part of Creek was also sustained by this extram Binary young Lady, and her conception of so whimsical a charac ter, was far beyond what could possibly have been expected from a person of her tender age. A Mr. PowER made his first appearance as Robert Mar thorn, and acquitted himself with so much ability as to leave no doubt of his becoming an acquisition to the Theatre. Mr. J. BLAND displayed his fine manly and well cultivated voice in the most happy style of the art; ROWB)THAM, JOHNSON, Mrs. WEIPPVIT, and Miss Puvxy acquitted themselves respectively with considerable effect; and the whole of the per formance went off with great eclat. The new pibce of Love among the Roses was repeated, and again went off with the unanimous approbation of a nu tocious and genteel audittaces Earl GREY presented two Petitions from the Owners and Occupiers of Land in certain Parishes of the County of York, against the Corn Importation Laws Amendment Bill, and stated that he. would go as far as the Petitioners. He could not, under the present circumstances of the country, alter the Corn Laws, is it *as proposed, conceiving that such an alteration would only serve to create additional uncertainty. He had given notice in the early part of the Session, of his intention to bring the state of the country before the House, with a view to shew the necessity and facility of making lae reductions in the pub lic expenditure. He had afterwards' suspended that intention, in consequence of the measures proposed in the other House, and if he now abandoned it altogether, it was not becrise he was satisfied with the mode or amount of the reductions which those measures were intended,to effect, but because he despaired of doing any good by any proposition which he might make. lie would, therefore, let things take their course, sincerely hoping that it would not lead to that event which be apprehended, the transfer of landed property into other hands, which, as a Noble Lord had lately and justly said, would not only injure the Con stitution, but principally the constitution of that fittu;e. The Earl el LIVERPOOL should he ready to meet the ar gtnnents of the Noble Earl, whenever the opportunity should be offered to him. He trusted that the system adopted by his • Majesty's Ministers would not lead to the result which had been mentioned, but he was convinced that if such a result were to occur, it would not be avoided by- such measures as a reduc tion of taxation amounting to a breach of faith to the public cre ditor. With respect to the Corn Importation Dill, he under stood that, during his absence, its being committed had been postponed till Wednesday, with a view that he should open the measure to the House, although it had heen originally settled that the debate should be tak.•n 011 the third reading on Friday : he was equally prepared for either day, and only wished to know what were the wishes of their laird:hips ? After a few words from the Earl of Launennar.r, it was set tled that the Bill be committed on Friday, when the disc:ision should take place, and that it be read a third time on M.Attlay next, and that the Lords be summoned for Fiiday. PETITIONS ON TIIE MARRIAGE ACT. Lord STOWELL presented a Petition from William Prit chard, one of the Proctors of Dactors' Cenintons, stating that a minor, called Frederick Knight, had met with a widow ut thirty, at Paris whom he had married at Dover, by a license obtained through perjury that his father had iiistiv.ted proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court, and obtained a Decree, declaring the marriage null and void; but that the said widow had made an appeal in consequence of the Bill new penning before the [louse, in the hope that it would make her marriage good. The Earl of LA UDERDA LE held a Petition from the Proctor on the part of the wife, stating that she was the widow of a respectable Aurgeon, and having a straw hat manufactory both in England and France, had met hct present husband in P.dris, where he had represented himself as bring of age, and she had married him by license at Dover in that belief. Site had one child by this marriage, and was again in a state of preg nancy, and humbly submitted that it would be a hard case if she were to, be punished for the act of her husband, of which she was entirely innocent. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that if the present Bill were carried, it would not affect the sentence of the Court, hut did not know bow far it might affect the decision on the Lady's appeal Notwithstanding all that had pawed, it was clear, however, chit she would be soon in the Mame ! With re spect to the Petitions he doubted whether they might be lowed to lie on the table, as they ought to have hteu from the parti.s themselves. and not from their Yructors.—The Petiaons, which had been previously read, were thou withdraw:;. MARRIAGE ACT. Lord ELLEN'BOROUGH having moved the Or der of the Day for the third reading of the Alairiage Act Amendment Bill, Lord.STOWELL moved that the first clause, that which establishes the principle that marrianes once solemnized are indissoluble, be omitted. He con tended that civil society had a right to prescribe what was a valid marrial4e, and that it could never have been the intention of the Right Reverend Pre lates, who had spoken on a former night on the sub ject, to maintain that improper marriages were puri fied and made good by the ceremony of the Church,• notwithstanding all that might have preceded it. He then took a general view of the measure, and stated that the-cases which had been used as its ground work were not so hard as they had been represented. In most of them cohabitation had ceased tor many years, anti the annulling of the marriage was sought either as a relief from the debts and persecutions to which one of the parties had been subjected by the licentiousness of the other, or as a cheaper process than a Divorce Bill. He complained that all the god produced by the Marriage Act as it now stood, and the misery from -which he had relieved fathers and families, were kept out of view, whilst a few cases of hardship were blazoned forth with detestation and horror. The present measure said to minors and ad venturers, " we put difficulties in your way, but once get to Church and you are safe, and you shall enjoy the fruits of fraud and imposture." A Bill founded on such a principle afforded a premium to unlimited marriages, which would more than cwunterbalance the securities which it provided for the prevention of improper marriages. Lord ELLENBOROUGH, after so many days had elapsed since the nullity clause had been rejected by the unanimous sense of the House, was not pre pared for this funeral oration in its honour. It had been rejected in consequence of the opinion expressed by the Right Reverend Prelates opposite, that mar riages once solemnized ought never to be broken, and he had not heard cite word s;::ce, in or out of the House, in favour of its revival. The Noble.and Learned Lord spoke of the present Bill as giving pre miums to undue marriage,: he (Lord Elienborough) on the contrary, thought that the existing Act gave those premiums. It induced men who were desirous of obtaining a wonidn's person to marry her, knowing that her marriage could he broken whenever they pleased. The present Bill not only prevented such immorality, but also deprived adventurers of the prize which they had attempted to gain, for it took away all the pre perty from them, and sent them to pass the rest of their lives in Botany Bay. The Noble ' and Learned Lord seemed to think that marriage was ordained, not for the satisfaction of the persons mar vied, but for that of fathers and mothers ; for he told • from the facility .which the existing law port them to annul the marriagCs . of their children; .btit he for-
