" Most Excellent House of Representatives.—The mea sures which the House has been pleased to point out in its note of the 19th inst. seem to me to be the most fit and ode quite for the good results which the loan raised in London by the Minister Plenipotentiary, Don Antonio Jose de Yriserri, by virtue of the full powers which were conferred on him for the purpose, will produce to the country.

THE PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE was the origi nal Office which effected Insurances upon the prin ciple of combining the security of an ad►quate permanent Capital (in addition to the fluctuating Funds arising from 1 1 the Premiums) with the beneficial rule of returning, at stited periods, the surplus of theannual Premiums to the Contribu tors, after paying losses, and expenses. The importance of this improvement is acknowledged by extraordinary• public approbation, and by the numerous imitations of it, which new Offices have lately offered, and which older ones have adopted, in changing their constitutions. The principle is of chief value, because as it yields, by the specific sums in sured, and the return of the surplus, the fullest value for the deposits, persons have no reasonable motive fur venturing on the lureof reduced and insufficient premiums, which has s led to such frequent instances of disappointment and ruin. Bonuses of 131. St. and Yti/. Its. per teat. have been di titled during the last 14 years. . Permission is granted to all persons whose lives are in sured at this Office (not being mariners iu the exercise of their profession), to pass by sea in whole decked vessels or steam-boats from one part of the United King•lom to ano ther, and also in time of peace from British t m the Foreign Ports between the Texel and Brest inclusive, without license and extra premium, as is generally required. Military Men insured at this Office are not charged with any additional premium, unless called into actual service. No Admission Fees are required, nor is any charge made for Policies, except the Stamp Duly. Advantages thus extensive and substantial having been constantly realised during a period of seventeen years, un der the plan end mansgeinent of this Office, the Public will readily appreciate the difference between the value of Policies issued by this Office and by others. Agents are appointed in all the principal towns. -9CONOMY IN DR ESS.—UHA RLES and CO. N' TAILORS and BREECHES MAKERS. No. 181.

It had for its object to have the tithes of the whole coontry commuted tur live an twenty years' purchase. This was a most liberal valtiatitin, and might instantly be accepted by the Clergy. This arrangement would be most beneficial, as it would c.•ntpletely rem.trit those causes of contention which non unhappily prevailed between the clergy and their tiocks. Sir J.

The other was a case in which the debt was 4/. 128.4 d., and the costs 901. Is. 10d. -(Hear.) He trusted that these fiats would have theie due iuspression on the House.—Laid on the table. Mr. SYKES presented a petition from Hull, for the abolition of Slavery.—Laid on the table. Mr. BIRCH presented a similar petition from a parish in the county of Nottingha m . He stated that there was a great deal of exaggerati o n abroad on this subject. He trusted that the House would act deliberately and care fully with respect to it, and not be led in the heat of *ling to infringe on the rights of property. Mr. DENMAN said that whatever might be the fact as to the statement, that a great deal of exaggeration had gone abroad as to this question, doubtless there was one fact u..denied, that the slave population in the West India islands was, sinc e the abolition of the trade, very much decreased. As to the consideration that the pro perty of the planters should be protected, be believed that could only be done by producing a better sta., of so ciety amongst that population. He believed, however, that complete justice would never he done to that people except by absolute emancipation.—The petition was laid Ma the table. RICHARD CARLILII. Mr. HUME said he held in his hand a petition front Richard Carlile, which contained matter of the utmost interest. He should not now enter into the question how far it was proper to interfere with the religions opinions of indiviunals, as that was a subject to which he intended to call the attention of the House in a dis tinct manner. He wished to do justice to Mr. Carlile against whom the grossest prejudice existed. He had had the present petition in Lis possession above two months, an .I waited to see if the reonsentation of the petition to his Majesty's Ministers would prove of any benefit. But as they bad tailed to extend any indulgence to the petitioner, he (Mr. Home) was compelled to britlx the case before that House. It should be known, that Richard Cerliiewas a respectable mechanic until 1516, when distress drove him to be a hawker of pamphlets. But the acts of the Government in that year excited so much terror, that Mr. Carlile was induced to become the agent of Mr. Sherwin. There was not a man in Englund, whose moral character stood higher than that of Mr. Carlile. Yes, he would challenge inquiry into hie character. There was not a more exemplary husband-- bead of a family, or neighbour, than this individual.— lie became proprietor of - Sberarin's Register, to which he afterwards gave the title of " The Republican." lie then printed 1001) copies of Paine's Theological Works; 250 of which were bespoke by different booksellers.— But though he took every means in his power to bring the works under the attention of the public ; in the course of al months he sold so few, that be began to despair of being able to dispose of them at all. The prosecution then commenced, and before his trial he sold the whole number on his hands, at 101.6 d. each. The purchasers were not of the lower class, but chiefly lawyers and others moving in an elevated sphere. Three thousand more were printed, and before the close of his trial nere all sold. Before Mrs. Carlile's trial 10,000 copies were sold. Of the " Republican" of which he did not before those trials sell more than 2,000 conies a week, be afterwards sold 15,000 copies a week. Here then was a practical proof of the Impoliey of these pro: secutions. The petitioner here complained that he was: not permitted to go on with his defence, the Judge say ing that he would not sit to bear the doctrines or Chris tianity impugned ; a course of conduct which he (Mr. H.) condemned as novel and unjust. The petitioner ap peared to him to have been treated with great cruelty and oppression. He was lira' sentenced to a long im prisonment, and at the expiration of tbat period he was to pay a fine of 1,500 E., which, however, long before its expiration, all his property, amounting to 50,000 pam phlets, was seized and held over, without being sold ; and at the termination of Isis confinement he was called upon to pay the 1,5001., when he had not one shining. and his stock having beam previously seized, Mr. Carlile. %alien called upon for the tine, said, " Give me back my property, and I will pay you;" which was refused.- 1 he result was, that the individual was now doomed to imprisonment for life, unless the House interfered. No thing could be more unjust than because an individnal was punished for a libel, and all the numbers of that publication ordered to be seized, that therefore the wile% property should be seized. As well might all the pro perty of Messrs. Stock ,ale or itivington be seized, should they happen (though none were more unlikely) to be fuand guilty of publishing a libel. The inquisition, in its worst times, was never guilty of more cruelty or in justice than had been dealt out to this individual. The devil himself, if he were on his trial, could not be worse treated. He hoped the House would accede to the pr a yer of the petitioner, and red ase him from the fine, other wise he would remain in prison dnriug his life, baying no means to pay it. Thu Han. Member tend ailed by moving tl.at the petition be brought up. The SULICITOIt-IiENEKAL said he did not rise to oppose the motion of the lion.
