Should I again be elected one of your Representatives, you will continue to find me what I have ever avowed myself, "an unflinch ing Reformer, prepa re d t o carry out the spirit of Refor m w h erever it can be beneficially appli e d in r Church and State."

LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETIES have been so long esta blished, their benefits so extensively known and felt, that little fur ther argument is requisite to satisfy the provident of every class of their utility. Such institutions are of incalculable value, in miti gating the evils flowing out of the individual uncertainty of life; and in equalizing to the survivors of a short life, the fruits of a long one. Their number and progress within the last few years is a de cided proof of advancing intelligence. It mu►t not, however, be overlooked, that the great advantages they confer are as yet almost exclusively enjoyed by the upper classes. The great bulk of society, possessed of no certain income, I relying on the exertion of industry for support—however ample for the present, but subject to the various:uncertainties of life—seldom in any number resort to Life Assurance for the provision of a Fa mily : —hence to them the construction of these Establishments is less inviting than to those of a certain income, however limited. Again, the occupations and engagements of this class, by far the most numerous, important, and wealthy in the aggregate, expose them to vicissitudes, in reality only affecting the few, yet the apprehension of which, and the uncertainty of continued income, deter them from entering into contracts for assurance ; where the advantage, being so remote, is moreover made to depend on the chances of a perma. nent state of prosperity, over which the most prudent have no kind of control. Against the class above mentioned the door of Life Assurance is at present closed ; few will venture across its threshold, who are uncertain a the future means out of which to make good the pay ment of the annual premium, or subject themselves with the loss of their policy to the mortification of having spent their money in vain. To remedy the defects of the present system, the application of a new principle is required; viz. to make the advantage derivable from an annual saving, or accumulation, contingent on two or more chances—death, or misfortune during the lifetime of the party assured. In the one case, the benefit would reach the survivor; in the other, it would commence in favour of the assured himself at the very point of permanent or temporary embarrassment.. By the present plan of Life Assurance the benefits arise upon a single contingency—the death of the party assured ; and this again contingent on the regularity in the payment of the annual premium. But it has been shown this can only be promised, or wisely under taken, by those having a specific and certain income ; and there fore, to include all classes, those who do, and those who do not pos sess a certain income, that plan of Life Assurance would far sur. pass all others in utility and attraction, which would convert the annual saving or premium paid by the assured, either into a protec tion to him in the event of misfortune—the means of promoting, at all times, his present interest—or a provision for his family at death. Compared to the interest an individual takes in himself, the pro vision for his family is secondary, notwithstanding the strength of the latter feeling in the human breast ; and it will considered by every one, at least, of equal importance to protect himself against the occurrence of casualties and reverses while living, as to provide for his family at death. By the plan of this Assurance Society, it is proposed to join to gether these two strongest of human motives, and by this means to give the most powerful encouragement to lay np a provision for the future. It is therefore proposed that the fund arising out of the premiums paid by the assured, will be made capable of fulfilling two or more objects :—first, by the payment of the contract on the po ; secondly, a loan-fund, out of which the assured will be en titled, under certain guarantees, to borrow equal to two-thirds of his payments; thirdly. in the event of inability to continue his pay ments, such other equitable disposition of his interest in his policy will be allowed him as he may choose. By this means his apprehen sion of great pecuniary loss, in the event of non-payment of pre mium, will be removed—a vast class of society will thereby be ad mitted ; and every individual, while steadily pursuing one object a provision for his family at death—will have, by the plan of this Society, a door open to his savings, which will never be closed against his wants or his use. New facilities will also be afforded by this Society in the accu mulation of capital, also through the means of Life Assurance, to advance Loans on Life Interests. That no one may incur undue risks at first, the engagements of this Society at its commencement will be guaranteed by a Capital of 500,000/., although other wealthy and flourishing establishments have found this wholly unnecessary : and that afterwards the Capi tal may not press on the assured, it is intended to connect with it the purchase of Reversionary and other Interests, and to enlarge the capital as the business of both departments increase ; but the premium on each addition to the Capital to belong exclusively to the original Proprietors. In the various schemes of Proprietary Assurance Companies the division of Bonuses is proportioned to the rate of premium de minded. Mutual Assurance Societies, notwithstanding they di vide all profit, d eman d too high a rate of in order to cover the risk. In this Society, the premium will be as low as the object included will admit; and as it is intended to divide with the assured two-thirds of the profits of the Life and Reversionary Interest De partments, the inducement to assure with the Society; on this score alone, will bo greater than with those Proprietary Companies ; while, besides a much lower rate of premium a compensati on w ill be offered th a t may b e greater than any advantage held out by Mutual Assurance Societies. The Rates of Assurance are calculated from original and exten sive Manuscript Tables founded on a law of mortality, which has been derived by combining accurate theory with the best experi ence ; and they effect the most perfect and equitable adjustment of each contingency to the several periods of human life. The growth and success of Life Assurance Companies, and the profit attendant on their operations, will be best understood by con trasting the present Market Value of the Shares of a few of the principal Offices with the price originally paid for those Shares. mount Price Profit per Share.

The first declaration of Profits will he made after a period of three and not more than five years, and afterwards annually ; but in the meantime the Shareholders will receive Si. per Cent. per Annum on the paid-up Capital. The immediate attention of the Directors will be given to the Establishment of Offices and Agencies throughout the United King dom. As a stimulus to the extension of the Society, Committees of the assured will be formed in each locality, and a separate calcula tion made of its success; and besides the general Bonus of two thirds of the profits, the assured in each locality will be entitled to a separate Bonus, the amount of which will be made to depend on the value and extent of their own exertions.

Yesterday - morning; 'll. few minutes before eleven o'clock, the passengers in Tottenham-court-road were plunged into the utmost alarm and exc it ement b y th e f ur i ous con d uct of an unfortunate gentleman, a maniac, under the following circumstances :—A gentleman was observed running at a fu rious rate along the middle of the New-road, from the direc tion of Islington. without hat, coat, or waistcoat, and appeared particularly wild in his manners. On arriving at the corner of Tottenham-court-road he observed a cab-stand, on which several were standing, one of which had no driver near it, into which he instantly jumped and drove the horse off at a frightful and furious rate, sometimes on the foot pavement and other times not. The screams of a number of females were terrific, expecting every moment to see the cab and him dashed to pieces, or a number of foot passengers either killed or dread fully injured. Fortunately the drivers of omnibuses, cabs, and other vehicles escaped with great difficulty coming in contact Kith his cab. On his arrival at the corner of Goodge-street and Tottenliam.court.road the horse was stopped by some po licemen at the imminent risk of their lives, and after great diffi culty they succeeded in conveying him to the station-house in George-street, Bloomabury. It was ascertained that the un fortunate gentleman had efLeted his escape from a private madhouse in the vicinity of Islington. He was detained until his keepers came, viho conveyed him back to his asylum strictly secured, fortunately without any accident occurring to tsinsself or any other person. Had he not been stopped and secured by the police it is impossible to calculate on the ex tent of mischief he might have committed. THE LATE KING.—The late King was subject to fits of abstraction in the most numerous company, and, under such circumstances, would give utterance to the feelings of an honest heart, not always palatable to those who approach Princes. At the time arch diplomate Talleyrand first came over here as Ambassador he was one day dining at St. James's with most of the foreign Ambassadors. News had been received that Casimir Perrier (the only Prime Minister of France since the glorious days of July of uncompromising firmness and honesty) was lying dangerously ill with the cholera. The fi rs t wor d t h e King uttered at table was to ask Talleyrand What was the last news of Casimir Per rier?" "He is dying, if not dead, your Majesty," answered in his sepulchral voice the "Diable Boiteux." The King sighed heavily, and remained silent at first; but presently he began saying to himsclf—" What a pity ! What a pity 1 the only truly honest statesman in France dead. The only man capable of ruling such a pack of s,ngti,:ary rogues; is it not so ?" added the King, suddenly turning to his nearest neigh bour, the Baron do N. Th e l atter di p l omat i st, muc h embar rassed, looked unutt era bl e t hi ngs an d muttered un i ntelligible ones. The whole Gorps (k)loinatique, not daring to look at one another, looked down on their plates, bursting with scarcely repressible laughter, and Talleyrand's spoon worked from his soup-plate to his mouth as rapidly as the paddle of a high pressure steam-boat, On Saturday morning, about eight o'clock, the Go vernor of Colchester gaol discovered that six burglars of most desperate character, who bad been committed from Thaxted to take their trials at the assizes, had removed the brickwork from the wall of their cell, and nere just on the point of es caping, when they were secured and heavily ironed. The fellows had put a bed before the part of the wall on which they were working, and removed bricks enough to let them through, after three days' labour. Never was there a conqueror who fired more can non, fought more battles, or overthrew more thrones, than Napoleon. But we cannot appreciate the degree and quality of his glory without weighing the means he possessed, and the results which he accomplished. Enough for our present pur pose will be gained if we set before us the mere resources of flesh and blood which he called into play from-the rupture of the peace of Amiens in 1801, down to his eventful exit. At that time he bad, as he declared to Lord Wentworth, an army on foot of 480,000 men. (Elere follows a detail of the dif ferent levies made from 1804 till 1814. Total of men, 2,9 65,965.) This detail, which is derived froth Napoleon's ,fficial journal, the Moniteur, under the several dates, is de ficient in the excess which was raised beyond the levies ; but even if we deduct the casualties as well as the three hundred thousand men disbanded in the year Inn, we shall be much under the mark in affirming that he slaughtered two millions and a half of human b e i ngs , an d these all Frenchmen. But we have yet to add the thousands and tens of thousands of Germans, Swiss, Poles, Italians, Nea -o,.litans, and Illyrians, whom he forced under his eagles, and, at a moderate computation, these cannot have fallen short of half a million. It is obviously just to assume that the number who fell on the side of his adversaries was equal to that against which they were brought. here, then, are our data for as s'rting that the latter years of his glory were purchased at less an expense than six millions of human lives. This hor rible inroad on the fairest portion of the population of Europe resulted in the abandonment of every conquered territory; the bringing of foreign enemies twice within four-and-twenty mont'as under the walls of Paris, and the erasure of his name from the records of dominion,—Paris Paper.

FARMS AND RESIDENCES TO BE LET IN THE VI- • CINITY OF INVERNESS E stagnation for some years in f arm i ng opera tions, and the prospect of the steam com mun i ca ti on b e t ween Inverness and London (now commenced), induced the proprietor of the following farms to avail himself of the opportunity of putting them into the best practicable state, by taking them into his own hands for their improvement-, so as to enable tenants to commence at once with every advantage which the communication with London, !cc., affords. The farms are now in the highest state of cultiva tion ; the soil is excellent, especially for turnip husbandry, and feed ing for the London and other markets.

There are numerous schools in Inverness, besides a well-eu d :wed academy, the establishment of which consists of six masters. There is a good fish-market ; firing is reasonable, and the constant export of beef, mutton , gra i n o f all descriptions, &c., shows that provisions are cheap and abtutdant.

SPIRIT 01: THE PUBLIC JOURNALS Judging from the pertinacity with which it is dwelt upon, there is no appeal from which the Tories ex pect to derive greater advantage in the ensuing elcc iions than their rollyi ng cr y o f " Th e Monarchy - in danger! The Monarchy in danger I From or from whnt ? It would not be early to point out a period in our history in which the Monarchy rested upon a broader or a firmer basis than at this moment. If the Liborlds of England really entertained the Re publican doctrines so falsely ascribed to them—if they nourished one hope or one feeling that was hostile to the existence of the Monarchy of this nation, and the institutions by which it is surrounded, instead of hailing the accession of Queen Victoria with un bounded and unaffected joy as they have done, they would sorrow over it as the death-blow to their projects. If there was an anti-Monarchy faction in this country it is crushed by the ac cession of Her who now wears the Crown of these kingdoms. The institution must receive addi. tional popularity from the popularity of the Sovereign, and they who contribute to increase tli4t popularity, as her Majesty's Ministers are doing, instead of weakening are giving strength to the throne. Had not the ,beneficence of God interposed the Princess Victoria between the nation and the calamity of a Cumberland succession, and thus frustrated the hopes and the almost matured plans of the very faction that is now raising this cry of " The Throne in danger," then, indeed, might the friends of the British Mo narchy have trembled for its stability. D,!eply as the foundation of the Throne is laid in the affections—or the prejudices, if it be so—of the people of these countries, it is difficult to suppose it could with stand the shock of such a Monarch and such a Ministry as he would be sure to gather about him. Let not those who plotted to put the Crown of England upon his head, and who now assail, as they best can, the Sovereign who has come between them and their hopes—let them not provoke discus sion as to the source from which any danger to the throne could be really apprehended. If the Re formers of England have rejoiced at the accession of the Princess Victoria, chiefly on account of the hopes which her own virtues inspire, let them also rejoice as that accession has saved them from the fate which, from the following communication, we are in dread is impending over the unhappy country that has fallen under the yoke of this condensation of Toryism. The letter is from our own Correspondent at Frankfort, and we give it without further commentary : " FRANKFORT, JULY s.—The new King of Hanover commences his reign in a remarkable manner. He has re. fused to receive the deputation of the Constitutional Cham bers, which came to offer him its homage and respectful felicitations. On the return of the deputation to its hall a decree was found there adjourning the assembly. The new King has not yet sworn to the Constitution, as he ought to have done, nor issued any proclamation promis ing to maintain it, as is customary in Germany. The Mi nisters, Alten and \\Tisch, have been dismissed, and the new favourite, Schele, appointed. A coup deal is expected in Hanover."—Morning Chronicle. The political morals of these Ministers who have forced themselves upon a young and virtuous Queen stand recorded in the compact of 1835, whereby .they laid the foundation of their Government in the quick sands of Irish Popery and English Jacobinism. But it can do no harm to draw from their own secret ar chives such further illustrations of the Whig,-O'Con nell character.as may all of them serve for materials of history, and others, if there be any spirit in public men, for grounds of Parliamentary proceeding. It is nothing that a certain Marquis, high at least in office, if in nothing else, should have pressed a young nobleman, the air of another Marquis, to stand for one division of a southern county, promising that he should be supported by the entire influence of the Treasury, if he would only join a faction which his whole fa mily abhor, and vote in the teeth of his own fa ther ; we don't think much , of that. But we should like to see detailed in extenso the correspondence begun by a man in office with a nobleman, the he'r of a certain spendthrift and pensioned Duke, of which the object is said to have been to buy the interest of the son in a borough and a county where there must always exist some local family influence, by the promise of an immediate Peerage ! We - should further wish to have an explanation of the motives which have actuated the aforesaid coroneted pauper in his expulsion of one son from the borough referred to, and hie declared intention to substitute for him ano ther son, the Radical Secretary of a semi-Radical (but always " illustrious") Duke. We should re joice to gratify the curiosity of our readers by inform ing them what • course the bargain-making Minister Will take upon a question already raised by the Ducal pensioner, of which the avowed purpose is to exempt his Grace from the payment of certain duties hereto fore the property of the public, and to transfer the amount of them into the sieve-like pocket of his Grace. It will be a curious thing to ascertain by and by what connection there exists between the manceuvres respecting the borough, the maneruvres on the part of his Grace respecting the hoped for plunder of the public revenue, and the . pro jected, though (we rejoice to say, iu coneequcnce of the unshaken principles of the Noble Lord upon whom this temptation was tried) rejected, maniEovre, of the Peerage offered to him during his fither's lifetime. But there is another specimen, and no despicable one, ' of the spotless purity of these relbern Ministers in all that concerns the freedom of election and the honour :f the Upper House of Parliament. If we are not greatly misinformed, a proffer has been recently trans mitted, in the name of the Queen's Government, or, more properly speaking, with their understood eutho rity, to the Irish Earl of P----. We beg the atten tion of all honest Englishmen, of all English gentle men—ay, and of all Radicals, who nr,: not arrant scoundrels, to the following, facts. A proposal has been made to the resit kilt Irish Earl of who is known to have much family influence with the con stituency of the borough of P--, in a central county of Ireland, tendering to him the net sum of 5,0001.—if what ? If now, on the eye of a general election, he would secure the seat for the borough to a supporter of the O'Connell Ministers, turning out his own Conservative brother. But there was a still more • characteristic offer added to the 5,000!. Lash. His Lordship was assured that he should on his agreement to the bargain, and his fulfilment of its sole condition, be further disgraced by a promotion to the British Peer age I—and should he tremble to encounter the I-louse of Lords, where he would of course have been sent at once into Coventry, those who spoke in the name of our immaculate, anti-jobbing, anti-Protestant reforming, " justice-to-Ireland," O'Connell Cabinet, are stated (though of this one fact we are less sure than of the remainder), to have declared that the Earl of P------ should become an Irish Marquis! Do the public want names? We will assist their guesses. The pure and honourable proposition is reported to have been made to Lord P through a Roman Ca tholic banker, not unknown either to Mr. Raphael or to Mr. Daniel O'Connell. The money was to be gua ranteed by a notoriously bigoted Popish nobleman, in veterate against the Protestant Church, and not a great way from the head of his particular rank in the Peerage. As the Noble: Lord notoriously keeps a Confessor, he thinks, no doubt, that keeping a con science also would be a needless expellee. The third guarantee on the proposed list is said to be a certain busy, noisy, intriguing, talking, pushing, bullying, am bitious Irish attorney, who would himself, we are apt to suspect, have no dislike to a scat in Parliament, even for a Papist borough. It rejoices us to add that the noble Protestant Earl, whose character and position in society it was the object of this Popish plot to ruin, has conic with clean hands out of the pit prepared for him, and has sent back the base insult to the quarter whence it came ; that the borough continues untainted and Con- VIII.

But, if the Protestant Earl has come away unspotted, so hay.i not the disappointed conspirators who planned this disgraceful bribe—so have not the wicked Ministers whose names and autho rities were employed to sanction it, and without whom it never could have been completed. Good Heavens! How matchless is the guilt or folly of men who, v.ith liberty and good government for ever in their mouths, commit such atrocious outrages on both, and imagine that they may do so with impunity I'• _Here arc a set of adventurers who have bellowed themselves into office, stunning the world with outcries against the corrup tion or intimidation of constituencies, against the want of free-will in electors, against the interference of Peers with the choice of Members in Parliament, against the oppression practised upon innocent, un offending, loyal, liberal Papists—and whit have they done in this single care out of 50 ? They offer to buy up a whole Protestant constituency, like so many . head of cattle for a sum of money. To render the bribe more pungent, they throw in the prostitution of the Peerage. To buy the votes of one House of Par liament they sell the honours of the other House. To secu-e the freedom of election they suborn a Peer to trample on and persecute the voters if they dispute his will. But all this, we are told, is for the sake of " good government," and is the method most euprovcd by the framers of the Reform Bill " for carrying cut its principles" and doing complete " justice to Ireland!' Let a new Parliament assemble when it may, it will he indelibly disgraceful that such proceedings should not become the subject of a searching and unflinching in qu;ry. The proofs, we hear, are not difficult to be got hold of, if no false point of honour should stand in the way. By the Ministers, of course, no impediment can be presented. The charge, if substantiated, and we admit that some Roman Catholics have not been too squeamish about oaths—but if the agents can be made by the !aw of Parliament to inculpate those who employed them, there is ground for impeachment 100 fathom deep.— Times. A most imp9rt;int meeting of the electors of the City was yesterday held at the London Tavern, for the purpose of securing the re-election of the present Liberal Representatives of The City of London. That excellent man and universatiy7dsteemed citizen, John Travers, presided, and a series of resolutions were passed, expressive of gratification and satisfaction at the declaration made by her Majesty in Privy Council, in favour of the progressive improvement of our in• stitutions, and also of approval of the conduct of the present representatives, as well as of a determination to merge all differences of opinion on minor topics, and unite cordially in promoting the return' to the en suing Parliament of those gentlemen" whose attach ment," in the language of one of the resolutions, " to the broad principles of national improvement are clear and indisputable, it being by a general as to such extended views, that the good order of society can be best preserved, and onr liberties—both civil and reli gious—matured and perfected." In explaining the object of the meeting—the more than noble—the honest, liberal, patriotic, and enlightened Chai.-man thus expressed Inmseif— " There are those, as you know ' in th,e city of London, largely interested in its concerns, and extensively interested in its welfare, who arc nevertheless not neglectful of the popular interests—who look to these interests with partici]. lar regard—who are identified With then on most - occasion:, and among whom I shall always be most happy to include myself ; and we thought it of great importance on this oc casion, looking at our present position on the eve of a most important election, that you should be called together to express your sentiments thereupon, and that it should be ascertained how far, and to what extent you are interested • in that cause of Reform to which hitherto you had ex pressed so ardent an attachment—that you sho:fld ,declare on this occasion whether you arc the same piends as yon ever have been to the equal ;ights qf your whatever creed, of whatever colour, whateve , country, or whatever condition—whether also you arc determitird In ca ry out those Reforms which rjou consider equally essen till 10 our imrdical, as they are to our social safety, and the improvement if our political institutions—not being dig pu4rd (fur I am sure you arc not so disposed) td destroy or ovettrrn any thing, but simply to pNrify and amend, and whether in support of these pnnci isksion wotriti at this time send your f air Members to Par!iament, who arc all men of liberal east and tendency, who all of them, And without exception, carry out those principles and practices as fast and so far as times ani circumstances will permit. Gentlemen, it was de sirable to ascertain your sentiments on the subject ; b t let we say to you that think you should not—that non cannot hesitate as between two opinions, you must either Itire lief:Liners or no Iltybrine.-s—you must have men who are thoroughly and deeply imbued with the spirit of Reform, who are really the repreentatives of the liberal in terests of this city ; but on the other hand you must not be too overweening in your expectations of any manor any set of men whatever." This exposition of the question involved in the ap proaching election is as applicable to every constituency in the empire as to that of London. There can be no hesitation between two opinions—they must either have Reformers or- no Reformers—they must either have a safe antl steady progressive improvement in the inst:tutions of the country, or, by stopping that int provenrmt, expose these institutions to the hazard of de.itruction, and the country itself to. the chances of revolution. As Mr. Travers observed, there is no wish amongst the people to destroy or overturn, but simply to purify and amend: If the people of theat Britain entertained any destructive propensities, nay, if they were not pre-eminently attaclieti to the preserva tion of social order, and ready to bear all manner of oppression and insult rather than risk its violation, tiny would never have so long submitted to the roup of which the Tories endeavour to perpetuate the in fliction. If the Tories possessed one-half the influence amongst the masses of the people that the Liberals do, the country would have been long since plunged in civil war; but the Tories know they are powerless with the people, and by their fears only have they beat restrained from. offaing violent resistance to the pro gress of Reform. No one who has read the after dinner speeches which they have made dur:n; the last twelve morale:, can doubt that if their ability kent pace with their inclination—if their fear of a collision with the people were not greater than even their deeire to perpetuate al,useS—they would have decided all the more important questions which have (Kett discussed. by am: appeal to violence. But the Tories well know that little as is their moral influence, t!.eir physical ea pabnity is still less. Their strength inor,lly and jibe sically is in fact prostrated bi:fore the intelligence which pervades the great ltody of the British peep:c, and fortunate for the country that it is so ; for wttrc it otherwise, far different instruments, more atrocious awl horrible, might be employed to decide the contest, then . even the corrupt machinery of electioneering agen,s. The Tories, if they dare, would appeal to the sword. Witness the Orange conspiracies, and the attempt to con upt the army front its allegiance, by the chefs of that abhorred faction. It is from the recurrent e of similar attempts that the electors of the empire are now called upon to protect the country ; for though the Tories should not gain an accession of strength in the coming contest, if they escape utter discomfiture their sanguinary machinations in one form or another will inevitably be renewed. Their pretended alarm about the Church emanates from the basest and most disgusting hypocrisy. As was r e m ar k e d by one o f the speakers at the City Reform in te th o t,'" i n all other countries they are the avowed supporters and defenders of the most intolerant form of Romanim. Look to their conduct in Spain and Portugal. Their professed regard for Protestantism is troth:not' but an excuse for advocating every form of bad government all o'er the world." Who arc their allies ? Despots of ail creeds and climes. Where was the M arquis of Lon donderry's a'ihorzence of Popery, when be evinced such a deep sympathy in the cause of that V.ood stained rebel Don Carlos? Religion is but the pre tence of the whole tribe, while their object is to bold their fellow-men subject to every spectres of tyranny and oppression ; and every elector ivlio votes for Fory in the ensuing election becomes a party to hi a s own, lItS country ' s, and the general ‘vrane .and pmccunon. There was also a miserable US:ef of the Tories in the city yesterday, more contemptible even than w e ex pected. It appears the have already raised subscrip tions to the amount of 2,5001. towerds the promotion of Conservative policy , that is, what the Standard most appropriately terms, “ buyipg ;nen to their dam nation." But their prospects are hopeless, and Mr. Palmer must have strong nerves, after contrasting the
