At the several past divisions of profits made by this Company, 'he reversionary Bonuses added to the policies from one half the profits, amounted, on an average of the different ages, to about 1 per cent. per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added at the four septennial divisions exceeded 770,0001. FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums required for the East and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the United States of America, have been materially reduced. INVALID LI V ES.—Persons who are not in such sound health as would enable them to insure their Lives at the Tabular Premiums, may have their Lives insured at Extra Premiums.

Advice and Medicine. IL SIR JOHN PAKINGTON AND THE COLONIES. Sir John, mighty questions your notice now If a clear course you'd steer, without possible blame. Let a lecture in private your judgment impress, Then the rules of your office you'll never transgress. Your station 's important in all cases—true, The colonies some cf them need your review ; But the prevalent spirit of vast emigration Will in time make them like your own mighty nation. Would you rule with success, make our colonies great, Give Emigrants facts you may honestly state ; These facts are best proofs of a voyager's success, Shown by MOSES in charges for outfl , s and dress. You may canvas each section of England's new laws, But the brightest enactment gives the people good clothes, And the mLiister who must provide for all stations, Is MOSES, Designer of Dress for all nations. During many long sessions lie has worked in this cause, His system is based on the best of all laws — Is the model of trade, since each emigrant knows That his outfit is proper wherever he goes. Now, Sir John, to begin your intended arrangements, State the outfits from MOSES as the best of engagements, And never neglect to express your opinion That in matters of outfit he holds sole dominion. The colonies soon having stated their claims, Tire thousands from Albion each vessel's list names, Who are sailing o'er ocean to far distant shores, Equipped with an outfit from Aldgate's famed stores. Sir John, with E. MOSES'S patrons your care, We wish you the comforts of office to share; But remember, if office you long would enjoy, The artist of MO ES you likewise employ. Emigrants' Cabins fitted up at a trifling expense. Every comfort and even elegancy combined in E. MOSES and SON'S Outfits. They supply them for 3/. 153.,upwards.

TlMES.—Objection is always easy, for it is never without meson on its. side, and that reason, be it ever so little; is all that it is concerned with. On the other liGhing is less suitable for dashing conjecture, for lively epigram, or off band declamation, than the re sponsibility of considering what should be done under given circumstances. The objectors may be a hundred, and may start from a hundred different quarters, but the course best to be adopted is one; so the man who defends it has to stand with his back to a rock and fight the whole world. It is doubtless from the difference be tween these two tasks that there are men who can do nothing but object, and who are never so wise as when in opposition. There never, indeed, was so sudden and plentiful a crop of political philosophy and virtue as that .vhich has sprung up since last Friday fortnight. . Never has the mind of man marched so quick, or progress been so universal. The more the pity that it happens to be too late. Three weeks ago none would have hailed i t more gladly than we. Thre was then a Government to warn and to advise, but on the whole to befriend and to assist,, and that we were perfectly ready to do. Whatever our minor differences on questions in this or that department, we never withheld our support on a question that could be considered ene of confidence. That Government is now gone, cer tainly from no act of ours, under circumstances which seem to, preclude its early return to office. These circum stances have been so often described, and really are so evident and confessed, that we need not refer more par ticularly to them at this moment. As the nation, re oresee ted in the Legislature, and in that respect not enteithtully represeuttd, would no longer have the late Governmt nt, it seems only rational and decent to give t fair trial to the other alternative, there really being only one other under existing circumstances. We make the best of a bad job, and recommend that course, when lo and behold, there starts up a legion of philosophers, patriots, agitators, essayists, and speculative M.P. s, ad vancing with the profoundest earnestness, and the moat studied phraseology, excellent reasons why of the two possible Governments the present is the worse. Their reasons would have bten invaluable three weeks ago, when these same persons were undermining the then Government by every means in their power, and seizing the opportunity of every little hitch, and every internal schism, to trip up the heels of the Minister; but they are now as useless as they are cheap. But we are told by a great northern light, and the remark is endorsed by a clever weekly contempo rery, that the necessity now alleged is a fictitious one, created by the very party which makes it a plea for for bearance. Mr. Cobden says, " the whole difficulties which they (the Whigs) have experienced in carry ing on the Government in the House of Commons have arisen from the fact that yeu have 200 to 230 gentlemen banded together, apparently with the most intense feel ing of self-interest, and with the most determined reso lution to oppose any Government which did not consult their interest." But what are 230 gentlemen in a House of 654 Members? The statement bears on its very stica,. face its own confutation; indeed; 'the speaker is forced to explain beforehand that the difficulties caused by these 230 gentlemen were " in addition to the difficulty which exists in the inherent weakness of the Whig party," and he also incidentally drops that he in him self no partisan of the Whigs. He might have Paid even more. But when the Whig party is admitted to have been inherently week, and also not to ha v e enjoyed the general support of Mr. Cobden end his friends, why throw t h e blame o f t h e recent mishap on the 230 gentl emen ? The footpa d w ho sur rounded and robbed six travellers on Hounslow -heath could never have 'succeeded , if they had been true to themselves and one anot h er. But the truth is, Mr. Cob den and his trier,da have been quite as great a difficulty to the kite Government as Lord Derby and his friends. Only last session they beat Government on the ballot, ' end on the proposed creation of county 10/ house holders; and they have rather studiously abstained from voting on questions of confidence. Last year Mr. Bright expounded at great length, and with more than his usual:historical research, a very pretty theory that the Whigs after living since 1688 on the credit of having turned out the Stuarts and arbitrary power, have in fact only supplanted one nuisance by another still worse, viz., the domination of a few great families; and he im proved the discovery to observe, that the thing now to he done was to extinguish the Whigs, whatever the consequences. It cannot be denied that Mr. Bright and others of his party have acted with this view, and rather too simply wish this view. Nor can it be denied tnat tee line of the Manchester school, and the line of many Members elected by large popular constituencies, is tar more calculated to embarrass any existing Go , comment than to advance any assignable policy. We tell these gentlemen, therefore, that they have to thank themselves very much for' the present emergency, un less, indeed, it have really entered into their plan, in which case •of course, they will th an k t h emse l ves f or it. If, then, the present movement out of doors is simply against a Derby Administreation—eimply against the notion of this empire bring governed by the se-called country party, we can only ustk, " Why didn't you keep the country party out?" An orator in the north the other day quoted the well-known lines in which the speaker is asked whether the lion at the door of the house shall be kept out or admitted and then turned out. Like all the other good things said on this subject, the quotation is too late. The lion was at the door three weeks ago. le is now inside, and the question is what is to be done with an admitted though troublesome guest. But what is the practical value and purport of all this agitation? They who let the late Govern ment be turned out, without caring who was to come in, are now for turning out the present Government, with a .like indifference to the necessary consequences. They are simply for turning out all Go vernments; only some they throw down, and others they let drop. To turn out the new Government is simply to reinstate the old—that is, to put ourselves in the posit rpastl naccsomPoniasirr.i der that tent which was untenable three weeks since. Are we y to trust that the lesson will not be ;lost on any of the offending parties; that Lord John will reinforce his that mr.gcalonb d o e o :poi effecti eh Cabinet and bring in better measutres; and that the Leagners will bo rather more faithteil to their Whig alliance? That, of course , would be a very wise expe dient, and a sound confidence, particularly as one of Mr. wasßrignh not ts to most trustso l t e h m e n w a h p i p g e s a , l b e u t t o t the p ' r iti o a s t s a o a n n last session advantage against them whenever it was within grasp . .

What power there is in clever phrases to obscure the apple, hsnsion of facts !

HER a L'ea—Two of the free trade journal s, the Globe and the Daily .IVetcs, instead of resigning . themselves, calmly, to Inc inevitable defeat which has come upon them, seem to grow daily more, and more rabid, end intent on mischief. Their theme fro m Monda y to sturday, still the same:—Either Lord De! b y i s a a ,ie Protectionist, and, as such, a public enemy , to b e hunted d any and every means;—or else , he i s not a Protectionist; by and then he is a he pocrite, — a c heat ; who must be ex posed and disgraced, fur the sake of the public morality. We have already given one of answer to this sort of 'ace • 'accusation, by adducing eeases of Mr. cumin, in first of 1827, and Lord John Rassell in 1846. In the g these instances, Mr. Canning w as a le ading advocate of Romish E ma n c ipation, and it was from a dread of his using his power to advance that cause, that Si r R and other s qu it te d hint. He became Premier; ' Peel but in stead of immediately endeavouring t o carry tat ques tion which had been a favourite ob j e ct with hi many years,--he atones a nnounced a truce; andalfor post poned all allusion to the subj ect till the publi c ic mind should bec ome b etter informed, and more favourable his vie ws , I n t h e same s pirit did Lord John Russell a an to cf in 1846. O n l y one year before he had pointed out establishment fo r the Romish priests in Ireland as th e proper accompaniment of the Ma y nooth En dowment Bill. He accepted the Premiership, and Mr. T. so buncomb e ' - immediately asked whether he did not mean to carry out hi s own d ec l a rations ? Be at once repli e d that he did not. He declared his opinion to remain un altered ; but b e p ost p o ned all action in the matter until the popular mind should be more favourable to the pro posal. Lord Derby sought now accepts office, having ht i t far less—having avoided it far more—than either Mr. Canning or Lord John Russell ever did. His position very nearly resembles theirs. He declares, as they did, his opinion as to en import duty on co r n to remain un altered. But he postpones, as they did, the a cting out of his own vienws until he sees in the public mind, as ex pressed in Parliament, a readiness to concur opinion. And for thus following in their steps the Liberal journals, which saw nothing to blame in Mr. Cannin ' g 3 or Lord John Russell's policy, now set up a bray, e xc l a i m i ng, olf you do not at once act upon your own views a n d declared opi nions, you ar e a most dishonest and perfidious man." The I • nconsisteecy of this conduct, in those who saw ,hh nothing to bl ame i n the former cases, is obvious. simulated is enough in itself to condemn their zeal and assumed love of stern integri • ty. But there is another point of view in which their conduct appears as absurd as it i s di s i ng enuous. Do these gen tlemen_ wish to lea ve the Queen w i t hout any Ministry at a 11? If not, will they • h show us upon what other basis any . Government can jest now be formed, except that very basis, of forbearance which o on Lord Derby has, reefed but?

Now neither of these country.

H owever thi s may be, have allowed Mr. Gladstonelreland to to set up a Romish Church , into the hands of those or to gi ve t h e E ng lish Church who would surrender it to Rome. Equally certain is it th at m ten millions per annum Mr. Cobden's fancy of saving out of our arm y, navy, Ste, would have to be gi vers Dawning-street. Hence, t uy the moment he set foot in Peelite Cabinet or a ua only way in which either a been formed, would have Cobden Cabinet could ever haw:. ber of either such Ministr been e by each respective mem poning, all that which distinguished rankly giving up, or post politicians.

It is just what these people, the Protecti on i *ts, wanted me to do, but I y in a small sp ace t h e true theory of l woula - not." These memorable. words of a g re et mtin on a ;rest occasion a n citlidnyte true duti es o f statesapn. This e l will it once be manifest if wo compare them vfith the (ieelaration of Lord John with which he intro duc:td his new Iteforrn Bill, that it was his intention to preserve the existing balance between the agricultural and manufacturing interests, so that whhtever may lin the change in the relative power, wealth, intelligence, or fluence of different classes, their respective 'weight in the Legislature shall remain for ever constant and un changed. The sole object and tendency of such a provision is to establish as wide a breach as possible between thu opinion of Parliament and the opinion of the country, and by so doing to •counteract and destroy as far as may be the benefit of representative institutions, and to present our Legislature to the country not as a pony to be respected and obeyed, but to be intimidated and coerced. The proposition of Lord John Russell to con tinue and perpetuate the present balance of interests i 5 nothing more than a plan to enable a Minister to do the very thing denounced by Sir Robert Peel—to govern by a numerical majority in Parliament while the sense and intellect of the country are against him. It is to arm him with a sword which he ought never to draw, and which, if drawn, is sure to wound most deeply the hand thaOolds it. If a prudent man finds himself in tuch a posi .49l.4o6Beifnd..of a majority ready to carry out vie we which the nation repudiates, what course of action would those who advocate the perpetuation of an influence which renders Parliament an exponent of anti-national senti ments recommend? Shall he 'persevere? The fate of France is before him, and of numerous other Govern ments which, having succeeded in corrupting or packing popular assemblies, have forgotten that by those very arts they have deprived those bodies of the influence over the people which they were created to exercise, and have only awoke from the delusion amid the thunders of Incipient revolution. Shall he, on the other hand, do as Sir Robert Peel did, save hie infatuated adherents in spite of themselves, and surrender his name to oblogay and his memory to reproach, because he refuses i.o avail himself of the corruption of the Senate in order to crush the will of the people ? The prudence of such a course cannot be doubted, but it exacts from the man ho adopts it a rare abnegation of self and a patriotism seldom found in or out of place. Que mon nom soit mais que France soit Libre, is when sincere an aspiration of aluy , st superhuman disinterestedness. Yea one or other of these courses a Minister Owed in the situation we have described must intallibly take. He may at any time be called upon to choose be tween his country and himself. Sir Robert Peel six years ago preferred his country; Lord Derby may, for aught we know, be called upon to make a similar lee iion, and may decide it in a contrary way. At any rate, supposing him to follow the example of Sir R. Peel, we shall have the misfortune of witnessing twice in six years an the authority of Parliament virtually superseded by appeal to the popular will, and a new premium given to those who by meaus of public meetings and inflamma tory harangues profess to elicit and express the opinions of the people. Now, we ask, why should we be conti nually placing Ministers in this invidious and dangerous position? Why should they perpetually be obliged to choose between their character and their country ? Why should we refer them as an oracle for their guidance to the opinion of a majority of Parliament, and yet dety . them to act on suc h an o pinion, under the penalty of bringing abo u t some terr ibl e an d undefinable catastrophe? Who are th e ga i ners b y suc h a s y s t e m as this, which is perpetually exposing our institutions to hazard, and staking their continuance on the prudence. or timidity of asingle men? No one that we know uf, except pro fessional agitators, whose coarser powers enable them to find amid the plaudits of large meetings a fame they would hardly attain in the discussions of more select assemblies; yet t o suc h t hi ngs we mus t cous t a nily be liable so long as the anomalies are permitted to con tinue, a strikin g illustratio n o f w hi c h w ill b e found in this day's issue. . Jobbing politicians manufacture votes and seats ad libitum, and call the result of these shabby contrivances political influence." They may thus obtain political influence in quiet times, but when the storm rises and the safety of the vessel depends on the accuracy of her course a true statesman will never steer by a compass whose needle he knows to be drawn aside by undue attraction. It has been quite easy to give Dorsetshire an equal representation with Middlesex; bat wo to the statesman who should fall into the mistake of consider ing the gain of the fourteen votes of Dorsetshire as equivalent to the loss of the fourteen votes of Middle sex. In the political—equation ethaeAseet sides. enay-be • apparently equal; and yet 'the real value of them vastly different. The counters may pass for the same amount in the Parliamentary game of 'peculation, but this con ventional standard vanishes the moment we seek to convert them into real money. The question is coming every day to be Fiore, not what was the majority, but of what elements did it consist? On which side wee the representatives of wealth, intelligence, and population, the independence and int e ll ect of the House? To do the House of Commons justice, it has, since Reform Bill, shown itself superior to the prin ciples of its construction, and evinced a deference for public opinion far greater than could be ex dimuopgeonrdisnogf in sy w a h fr i ni ch w of e a re ro p ex pected from so anumalous a body. This, as we have is vere , well for qu ie t ti mes , but a c 'te r e l ‘ s l ls th l e s on no avowed principle. Lord D er b y ta lk s of appea li ng r d e e s s e t n in ta e t d io a n e f u o t u e n i:v c . le i d o tQ the country—meaning by the country the consti tuencies as at present divided and organized. How de sirable it would be if those constituencies realfr consti tuted a jury to whose verdict both parties would be dis posed to submit! But the tribunal is discredited before it is appealed to. Being weak in Parliaattntery votes, the larger and wealthier constituencies na;urally feel that they must make up in clamour and agitation for their unequal representation in Parliament. The deci sion of a jury packed in favour of the landed interest will not be accepted. That will be yielded to threats and intimidation which ought to be the result of the quiet working of our Constitution, and if Dorchester be al lowed to cancel Middlesex in Parliament, the balance will be redressed elsewhere. All permanent Government must ultimately be the Government of enlightened public opinion, and the superiority of free over despotic States lies principally in this—that in the former public opinion can be ex pressed by regular organs peacefully and deliberiltely, while in the latter violence must precede its expression as the lightning is the precursor of the thunder. If this be so, what shall we say of statesmen who endea vour so to model our institutions that they shall not be true exponents of that public opinion which shall ultimately prevail, but delight in teaching Parliament to speak one language, while, those whom Parliament ought to represent are holding another? Is it for the good of our country or the stability of our institutions that it should be even possil7le that while the majority of the wealth, intelligence, and population of the country are against a tax on bread, a• majority may be returned to the House of Commons 1 a vourable to its re-imposi tion, and therefore that the :pi tople, debarred by political jugglery from giving vent to . their opinions in a consti tutional way, must seek ,tame new and unrecognized method of making them kn<wt•n? There may bo those who wish Lord Derby to govern by a numerical ma jority in Parliament regarcil,E , e,s of opinion out of doors, hut it he be patriotic he will not, and if he be prudent he dare net.—Times.

MON TAGU, C. 8., K.C.H. This gallant and distinguished officer died at his resi deuce, Ryde, on Saturday last, deeply regretted by en extensive circle of naval and other friends. He had served afloat for 23 years, but principally during the war. He entered the navy Sept. 4, 1796, on board the Glatton, 50, Captain Henry Trollope, under whom he continued employed on the home station as midshipman, in the Russell, 74 (part of the victorious duet in the action off Camperdown, Oct. 11, 1797), and juste, 80, until transferred, about the close of 1800, to the Sirius, 36, Captain Sir Richard King. In that ship he witnessed Jan. 27,1801, the surrender of the French 36-g an frigate La Dedaigneuse. After a servitude of four ye ars in the East Indies, he was successively confirmed lieutenant and commander by commission dated Nov. 3.4, and Oct. 31, 1805; he was then nominated, June 8, 1807, acting captain of th e T erp i sc b o re frigate. In March: of the following year Captain Montagu, whose ship mounted but 28 guns and had only 180 men on board, fell in with, fought, and (with a loss to him telf of 21 men killed and 22 wounded) fairly beat off the French frigate Semillante of 40 guns and a crew of at beast 300 men. Being soon afterwards appointed to the Corn wallis , of SO guns and 335 men, he assisted, in '.the early part of 1810, a t t h e reduction of the island of Anboyna. About the same period Captain Montagu succeeded in effecting the capture of the Dutch corvettes ildandarin and De Ruyter. In the following November he was in trusted. with the command of the naval brigade landed to assist at the reduction of the Isle of France during the operations connected with which, particularly OH the occasion of the defeat of the French troops before St. Louis, Dec. 1, his zeal and exertions were such as to call forth the sincere acknowledgments of Major- General Abercromby..His last appointments were, Septa 8, 1812, to the Niobe, 40, employed until June, 1814, on the Channel, American, and Lisbon stations; Oct. 29, 1819, to the Phaeton, 46, which ship he commanded: on ser vice at; Halifax until put out. of commission in Sept., 1822, and July 25, 1834, to the Malabar, 74, fixting for the Mediterranean, where, and off Lisbon, lie con tinued until ordered home at the close of 183 T, for the parpone of being ;paid off. 110 1 4atained flag-rank Nov, 23, 1841. The Res pilhidadital (a detytitledieuttrnantler the county of Huntingdon) was nominated a 0.8., Dec. 8, 1815; a K.H., Oct. 5, 1830, and a K.C.H. (accom panied: - with the honour of knighthood) in Jan. 1832. He eat irried, August 26, 1823, Anne, t hi r d daughter of the late Sir Geo. Wm. Leeds, Bart., of Croxton Park, Cambridgeshire. By the death of Sir Wiliam Montagu the following promotions take place:- Rear. Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., M.P., becomes Vice- Admiaal of the Blue; John B. Pasco becomes Rear-Ad miral of the Red; and Robert Wtiuchope Rear-Admiral of the- White. Captain Donat Henchy O'Brien (1821), orve of the most dit.tinguished officers in the list, who, during 20 years' svivice in the war, suffered shipwreck, captivity, and imprisonment, and made one of the most desperate escapes from his captors on record, after 'three unFuc cesatulattempts—who was second-lieutenant of the Am phion Ist the celebrated action off Lissa, and was Sir W. Iloste's; . .first-lieuten an t in all his most brilliant cutting out exploits in the Adriatic.--This officer not having had intierest enough to procure employment as a captain is ther , slay ineligible for active flag rank, and obtains his promotion only to the reserved half-pay list. Hear-Ad miral O'Brien is about 67 years of age.. Captain Edward Lloyd, K.H. (1821), next in seniority to the ,11;bove officer, is also in the same position. He has been u arable to procure employment as a captain since his prisitotion, although he served 15 years afloat during the we r--in fact, from his first entry into the service to 1815 11,e , served almost continuously; and we have beard that for seven years he was never ashore in Eagland once. Ile was at the landing in Egypt, and in the sub sequent betties ashore. He commanded a party at the attack tst Buenos Ayres and Monte Video; was with Sir Willoughby Nesbit iu many of the desperate exploits at the Isl s of France; he also served at the attack of Mau ritius, mild subsequently with the army during the Javese campafcn. Captain B. M. Kelly (1821), the third on the active list, is ;in the same position as. Messrs. O'Brien and Lloyd. He served 17 years afloat, chiefly during the war. lil:e was at the landing , in Egypt, was at the cap ture of :Rear-Admiral Perree a squadron, was at the re duction, of St. Domingo, and in rooting out the enemy's private e)rs, and was senior officer for some time of the African . , squadron. Although incessant in his applica tians, the Elliots, Greys, Ellices, Granvilles, and Sy mondseer were preferred to this war officer, and eons& quently -we shall see these favoured ; family officers with their fit ggs flying, when O'Brien, Lloyd, Kelly, and other distinguished men are consigned to the faded yellow fist. Capt s;in Armar Lowry Corry (1821), the fourth on the list, having rendered himself eligible by service as 1 a captaii e becomes entitled to his promotion to the active B.t :g list. He has server' afloat above 20 years, and for the last 15 months has been serving as superin tendent; of packets at Southampton. Captain (now Rear- Admir ,ii) Corry, according to O'Byrne's Biography, entered the service in 1805, on board the Diadem, 64, Captain Sir Home Popham; and, after assisting in the operations against the Cape of Good Hope and Buenos Ayres, _Teturned to England in May, 1807, as midsb' n man of the Sampson, 64.
