This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in a large paid up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its annual income being upwards of 82,1001. In 1841 the Company added a bonus of 21. per cent. per annum on the sum assured to all policies of the participating class from the time they were effected. The bonus added to policies from March, 1834, to the 31st of De camber, 1840, is as follows: — Sum Assured. Time Assured.

THE ATRAPILATORY, or LIQUID lIAIR DYE ; the only dye that really answers for all colours, and does not require re-doing, but as the hair grows, as it never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dyes. ROSS and SONS can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible, if done at their establishment ; and ladies or gentlemen requiring it, are requested to bring a friend, or servant with them to see how it is used, which will enable them to do it after, - wards without the chance of failure. They think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly to the instructions given with each bottle of dye, numerous persons have succeeded equally well without coming to them. Address, Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, London. A MOST IMPORTANT ADDITION AND IMPROVEMENT TO ROSS AND SONS' LIQUID HAIR DYE. ROSS and SONS meat respectfully inform the Public that they have succeeded in producing ft POMADE, that, after the Hair has once been thoroughly Dyed by their ATRAPILATORY, will keep it in the most beautiful order, and prevent it again showing grey, with no more trouble than applying any other sort of Grease to it. EYEBROWS, MOUSTACHES, and WHIS KERS produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar properties of which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly inno cent in itself, will produce new Hair on bald places, caused by weak ness of constitution, or where Nature has not bestowed this orna ment of the human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobi ity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the certainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and strength. Its virtues are manifold—it prevents the Hair from fall ing off or turning gray ; a few drops on the crown of the head will remove the most distressing pain in that part produced by or at tended with faintness ; and is acknowledged by the Faculty as the only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo de calvans (which causes the Hair to come off in patches) ; a few applications remove dandriff. This wonderful discovery is fully ex plained in a pamphlet, containing testimonials to its regenerating new Hair upon bald places, entitled, " Three Minutes' Advice on the Growth and Preservation of the Human Hair," by Dritnstone, Inventor of the Aromatic Regenerator for the Growth ;Idle Human Hair, and a certain preventative of headache and fainting ; also a toilet perfume—bearing the Inventor's signature, Herbary, High gate, near London. _ _ - Sold only in triangular bottles, with name, &c. &c., cast thereon, at 45., 75., arid 11s. each, Government stamp included, wholesale and retail, by all Chemists, Druggists, and Perfumers, and by special appointment THE FOLLOWING AGENTS FOR LONDON.

In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID With Diet Tables for all Complaints. Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein containeC the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is et a very terrible discoufft. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that arc expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and - which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the liy e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS //~~ ,~r7 PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL LIVERPOOL a r ri ved THURSDAY APTERNOON.—The long-look e d. for event has at length; the good people of Liver pool are enjoying, it is to be hoped, th e realisation of their last two months' expectations. The Prince, i n ' s h ort, wh il st I write, is about returning from his short cruise on the Mersey, to open, in the Fairy steamer, the new dock called by his name. This last is, however, a part of the proceedings which( must necessarily reserve for my next communication , taking up in this the thread of yesterday eve ning and this forenoon ' s events, but sketching them, unfortunately, with compulsory rapidity. In the first place, Liverpool is crowded to over!lovring. Train after train, steamer after steamer, last evening aid during the night poured fresh shoals of eager sight-seers into the town ; and by the great law of supply and demand, increased as prices required f or accommodat i on, of course, as rapidly as did the number of claimants. Beds fetched the price of luxurie s , ra th er t h an of necessaries of life; and I fully expect that the sheet and blanket tariff will be up still higher to-night. A stroll through the streets last evening showed Liver pool, always full and bustling, ten times more full and more bustling than I had ever seen it before. On every availablo inch of wall and hoarding municipal proclamations, official programmes, announcements of steamers to accompany the royal yacht, of medals struck in honour of the visit—and puffs of the wonderful accounts which the local journals pro mised to give of it—some in supplements, some in "pam phlets"—meet the eye, attesting the extraordinary interest attached to the occasion. Then preparations for illumination were busily going on—workmen arranging, in the usual com plimentary Nourishes and devices, those coloured lamps 8C pretty by night, ,but such dreary-looking affairs by day. Flagg of every material, every hue, and every size, floated from windows and chimney•tops, or stretched in gay waving lines from roof to roo f across the streets, the national colours intermingling with the gaudy ensigns of guilds and incor porated trades. The streets, as I have said, are quite crammed. Until late hour 80ld -street and Church -street were quite gay with chatting promenaders. The night was lovely, still, and warm. with continued flashes of brilliant summer lightning, and occasional far-off mutterings of thunder. Fears were enter tained for the fineness of the eventful morrow, but they were dissipated with the dawn. To-day broke bright and hot, and at an uncomfortablw early hour the town was all on the qui rive. The steeples, of course, contributed their noisy quota of loyalty, and upon sallying forth I found Liverpool in such a holiday garb as the busy town never wore before. The principal streets were all fluttering with gaudiest colours. You looked down their long ranges through perfect vistas of flags, wreathe, and garlands, ranged along the walls i n gay . deli' - Pr atret- t. • ' _ kowildift-roptm- Alizt*thi ,4 446/'! (From The Sun of of Last Night.) At Liverpool, yesterday, business was quite neglected, in consequence of the preparation for the festivities in honour of Prince Albert's visit. Some valuable information is contained in the " Bankers' Circular" for tl:e present mouth, which has just b een issued from the press, re l at i ve to the accumulation of bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England. "We have (states this authority) for the last year or two been so much ac customed to see 15 or 16 millions of specie in the coffers of the Bank of England, that the years of scarcity (of craps is meant) and their attendant ev il s i s forgotten. We have to combat now the evils_of plenty; the specula tion induced by too much monetary accommodation, and the commercial gambling which always follows an easy state of the money market." We doubt the correctness of this state ment, as applied to the circumstances of the present times. The railway mania of last autumn, and its disastrous results to thousands of persons, are not yet forgotten ; and we very much question that, let the harvest be the most abundant "within the memory of man" (and it promises to be so), that the directors of the Bank will excite speculation in any articles by either a decrease in the rate of interest, or a very large augmentation of the issue of notes. There are no late Colonial arrivals noted in the official lists of this day. Consols for the Account have been very firm this morning at 96 1 / 1 , and for Money at 958 to 96. The transactions in the Funds this morning have not been upon an important scale. Exchequer-bills have remained heavy at from 13s. to 9s. premium. India Bonds have been sold as low as 18s. premium. Bank Stock has gone back to 208 1 / 2 , and India Stock to 260 1 A. The Brazilian Five per Cents. have been quoted at 90, an improvement of two per cent. on the closing quotation of yesterday afternoon. Mexican Five per Cents. have fallen to 25%; Spanish Five per Cents., 26%; the Three per Cents. are at 36 1 , x ; the:Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 55 ; and the Four per Cents. are at 94.

Leaving these worthies to keep solemn watch and ward for the coming of the Prince, and proceeding by the grand staircase to the middle drawing-room, where the address was to be presented, I found the apartmenta lofty and taste fully fitted up, although not large room—occupied princi pally by a brilliant group of ladies, interspersed with a few gentlemen and military Officers. Lord ,Sandon, Viscount Morpeth l / 4 the Rev. Mr. 3l'keil, and Mr. eaftlwe,ll, MP., -I .. , . .• • observed, were present. "!,. %.' There was a short period of somewhat impatient waiting, - and -then - the ..checriog outside, followed by a burst of ttott - very respectable but by no means novel piece of music. " God save the Queen," announced the arrival of the royal visitor. Another moment, and a doleful procession of the underling municipal functionaries, bearing maces, swords, and all man ner of tbrmidable and mystic implements, and looking as stolidly dismal as a troop of undertakers, marched into the room. Then came the mayor, decidedly nervous, and look ing uncomfortably warm. However, the entry of the Prince and the preparations at once made by the Recorder for read ing the address somewhat reassurred the respected muni cipal functionary, and the ceremony was performed by the legal gentleman with good emphasis and discretion. The fol lowing is a copy of the document : "TO Ills ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT, THE HUMBLE ADDRESS OF THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL. "May it please your Royal Highness—We the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of Liverpool, desire to greet your Royal Highness with a cordial welcome, and to express the satisfaction and joy which the arrival of a Prince so exalted in station and so justly entitled to every tribute of respect and esteem has diffused through this loyal borough. "This visit to a seat of mercantile industry ; your con sent to sanction and grace by your presence the opening of new accommodations to trade and shipping, and your pur pose to take part in founding an institution for the advan tage and welfare of sailors at this port, are manifestations, to us most gratifyiag, of your princely regard for the commerce of that wide empire, with the destiny and history of which your Royal Highness—in sacred union with our most gra cious Sovereign—is so auspiciously, and, as we fervently hope, so lastingly connected. " Our town boasts not of monuments of ancient art and magnificence, but the flags which, from every quarter of the globe, countless in number, now wave in sign of wel come on the waters and along the shores of the Mersey, attest the successful energy by which, under the blessing of Providence, the port of Liverpool has been rendered con ducive and subservient to the progress of manufactures, the intercaurse of nations, and the happiness of mankind; and we trust that that a view of various public works and buildings, now advancing to completion here, will satisfy your Royal Highness that a spirit of useful enterprise still lives amongst us to derive fresh vigour and encouragement. from the proceedings of this day. "Filled with sentiments of the most respectful attachment and regard, we pray that your Royal Highness may long share the happiness of a Queen who reigns in the hearts of her subjects, and with her continue to adorn the loftiest sphere, with a brilliant example of public and of private virtue.— Given under the common seal of the said borough, this 30th of July, 1846." , Thisince iliaa ddrheassn,dasftomerelhyatolnangambeeennterd box.

" Your expressions of loyalty and attachment to the Queen cannot fail to be most satisfactory to me, and I am sure \\ ill be felt as such by her Majesty." The ceremony was soon over, and the Mayor, who was just beginning to recover from his fright, then conducted his royal visitor through the state rooms of the civic palace. They are not large, but well-proportioned lofty apartments. richly enough fitted up—yellow and gold being the prevail ing colours. The short inspection over the water side was the next paint of interest. The royal cortege proceeded down Water. street to the Egremont Pier, where the Fairy yacht was lyin An . g d now came by far the most interesting part of the day's proceedings. The afternoon was lovely, the sky un clouded, and the sunshine bathing in a warm glow of light the piles of vast warehouses and dingy funnel-like streets which lie between the higher parts of the towns and the docks. Down these streets rushed the swarming crowds-- thronging through narrow defiles—debouching by every fissure in the long line of warehouses upon the docks—mounting up into any species of 'vantage ground, where a view of the river could be obtained, and thronging with a dense mass of human beings the lines of wharfs, and piers, and landing-places which extend along the banks of the Mersey. And then the shipping in the docks. I have seen many II goodly show of bunting, but never such an exhibition of the flags of all nations, as to-day afforded. The forest—the apparently tangled interminable forest of rigging was one blaze of parti-coloured banners. I can compare it to no• thing so aptly as to an indefinitely extended exhibition of the kaleidoscope the blue, red, yellow omni-coloured bunting, in short—shining in the sunshine fully as gaily and brightly as ever did the gaudiest spangles of stained glass. The river, too, was a fine sight—a hot summer haze hung heavily upon the water, affording but dim and partial glimpses of the opposite shore, the gay terraces and far. reaching docks of Birkenhead. But through the haze-loomed countless vessels, the symmetrical out lines of stately ships anchored in the stream, with their towering masts and tapering spars, mingling with the heavier forms and dingy funnels of steam ers, and rising over the more unpretending gear of the crowds of coasters, brigs, sloops, and schooners, dimly seen upon the busy swarming river. Small boats, wherries, and gigs, of course, shot hither and thither in bewildering throngs. The passenger steamers which were advertised to accompany—vain hope—the Fairy yacht, rolled from star board to port under their weight of passengers and paddled heavily on as the trim screw-boat shot merrily away from the pier-head upon her trip of inspection of the Memel. while the cheers caught up and re-echoed from vessel to vessel—the occasionally-heard burst of a military band—the thunder of the royal salutes fired from the Caledonan steamer—all this, addressed to both eye and ear. .. a f o .7 3 __ . °C h air " can well be imagined, a very beautiful, ai d id or i t : rc e spectacle. bertthe l hu ea rs fill I ; a . wa lf t t urn er h ed er to sh w o arda rt cruise w ee ma nt l o na% re hart to take OP," -""u• -,. THE KAmPruiacoN Luz-BOAT.--There was a report in circulation some few days since that there would be a rendezvous of life-boats at Harwich, upon Tuesday last, for the purpose of testing the relative qualities of the various prin ciples of construction of so important a branch of navel con struction; but, owing to some cause or other, no such meet ing as that took place. Lieutenant George Walter, F.R.G.S., however, sent his Kamptulicon life-boat to that port, under the charge of an experienced Deal boatman, which created a good deal of interest at this port, and was visited and in spected by the Mayor, several influential inhabitants and gentlemen of the country, and the Lieutenant of the Coast Guard, who expressed themselves much pleased with her peculiar construction and capabilities. The boat is 36 feet long, 4 feet in depth, and 12 feet in breadth ; has 26 air boxes, capable, together with the buoyancy of the material of which she is built (a composition of cork and India-rubber), of sustaining, in an emergency, even when the plugs are out, 100 persons, and when continually Ailed b 3• heavy seas. She cannot be bilged, orj sunk, nor can she be splintered by cannon-shot or rocks. She is built upon the celebrated model of Mr. Greathead's. The want of an efficient lifeboat like the onej above is much felt at Harwich. In the latter part of last winter a Hamburgh vessel was lost off Harwich, and all on board perished, from the Want of All efficient life p9at. e r To BE SOLD. BY PRIVATE CONTRACT. ISLE OF WIGHT.

It will be remembered that on the evening of the 12th instant Miss Spankie, one of the daughters of the late Sergeant Spankie, residing at 36, Russell-square, on retiring to rest, had the misfortune to set . fire to her clothes, and would have inevitably been burnt to death but for the intrepidity of a servant, who rushed to her assistance, and succeeded, at the risk of his life, in extinguish ing the flames. Tbat individual was the unfortunate de ceased, and it appeared that at the time his hands were burnt in a very shocking manner. Cattermole received treatment for his injuries from Mr. Alford, a surgeon, residing at No. 10, Bedford-place. In the course of a few days his hands healed, but he complained of violent pains in his stomach, and at last became so bad as to render necessary his removal to University College Hospital, where he died on Monday last. Dr. Quain proved that he bad made a post mortem exami nation of the body, and that although there was slight dis ease of the kidneys, that death had resulted from the shock to the system occasioned by the injuries he had received. The jury ultimately returned a verdict, " That the deceased died from a shock to the system, occasioned by excitement and in juries received from burning." THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT VAUXHALL.

"BOAT RACE.—Thursday morning, a boat race came off on the river, between George Haddington and John Stevens, both watermen of Rotherhithe, for 251. a-side. The distance was from Rotherhithe Church to the Town Pier at Gravesend. The two men were in excellent condition, and they started exactly at eight o'clock, accompanied by the Naiad steam packet, belonging to the Woolwich Company. On reaching Woolwich, Haddington was half a mile a-head, and continued to be in advance the rest of the distance. He reached the pier at eleven o'clock, beating Stevens by a mile, amidst the cheering of the populace. LOUGHBOROUGH. —AwFuL THUNDER-STORM.—One of the most awful thunder -storms ever remembered by the oldest inhabitant of Longhborough, occurred at that place between five and six o'clock on Saturday evening last. The electric fluid struck the tower of All Saints' Church, forced a piece of the window-frame a from the side on w hi ch i t entered across the bell chamber, scoop e d several pieces out of solid oak beams, and then ran down the wire from the clock ham mer to the chamber below, in which is the clock, and shat tered the lever which connected the works of the clock with the wire of the hammer. Mr. King and one of his sons for tunately left the chamber a few minutes before the lever was shattered. The bark was also stripped off one side of the trunk of an elm tree, standing near the Ashley-road. For ten minutes or a quarter of an hour the rain fell in torrents, and for a short time it was accompanied with hail. The Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes on Thursday issued notices that hawkers, pedlars, and itinerant dealers not having their name and address in italics on some con spicuous part of their bundle or pack, will, on detection, be liabl, to a fine of forty Mad& RA ILWAY COMMITTEES. (Y ESTERDAY) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room A. SOUTH DEVON (AIaTLInATION AND EXTIaNSION). The members of this Committee re-assembled to-day at eleven o'clock; Lord Sandys in the chair. Mr. TALBOT opened the case for the Bill. He said that experience had shown the necessity of improvement in certain points of the South Devon line, and it was therefore proposed by the present Bill to make branches to Brixham, Kingswear, and other places. The branches were to commence at a point of the South Devon Railway called Aller, and terminate at or near the turnpike leading from Churston Ferrers to Brixhain Quay, at; or near a place called Cud bill. In consequence of some allegations with respect to the levels, it was agreed to employ an Independent engineer to test the accuracy of the sections. He would now proceed to call evidence. Jermyn, engineer, was examined, and stated that he had ex amined this line at the points complained of, namely, tlw 10th mile 33 furlong, 10th mile 6th inrlong and Gth chain, and 12th mile 2d furlong and 6th chain. With respect to the first point the depo sited level was 181 feet and a decimal, and the actual 186 feet de clam], and the difference between the real and the stated height was 5 feet 8% inches. On the second section in question the given height was 133 feet decimal, and the actual height 140 decimal, 41 feet, flaking a difference of 7 feet 5 inches. On the third section the de posited height was 357 feet, the actual height 363 feet 5 inches, making a difference of 6 feet 5 inches. Mr. Rowe, who appeared ou the part of the petitioners, the Earl of Morley and other owners on the line, contended that the errors shown by the engineer were sufficient to prove the general lnaccu- I racy of the line, they being selected at points suited for the purpose. Mr. AUSTIN said it was proposed by his clients not to ask for that portion of the line below Torquay, where only the property of the petitioners was affected, and that therefore they had no right to per severe in their opposition to the Bill. The room was cleared, and, on our re-admission, The Ciwastax said, that in consequence of the inaccuracy of the survey between Torquay and Dartmouth, that that portion of the line must be struck out of the Bill. Mr. Brunel, engineer to the line, was then examined as to the en gineering points, estimate, &c. &c. There being no opposition to the remaining branches, the preamble of the Bill was proved.

ETON AND WESTMINSTER BOAT, RACE. This very interesting event came off on Thursday, and added one laurel more to the Westminsters. It was throughout a very spirited, dashing race, and the victors and the vanquished alike deserve their meed of praise. The con test of last season, it may be remembered, was in favour of the Westminsters ; and the Etonians, with a view, if pos sible, of retrieving their honours, threw down the gauntlet about six weeks ago, and the race of yesterday was the re sult. Both parties went into sharp training; the Etonians under the direction of Pocock of Lambeth, and the Westmin sters under the skilful tuition of Moulton of the same place. The match not only created the most lively interest amongst the members of the Universities, but also with the public generally, and the assemblage both on the river and shore in dicated the anxiety of thousands to get a glimpse of any por tion of the match.

Bunney ( Stroke) 10 0 Markham, Coxswain 7 13 Until the arrival of the EtOn crew in London, the betting had been five to four on the party; it, however, fell within the last two days to even, and just before starting, was a point in favour of Westminster, a fluctuation produced, it is alleged, by a close inspection of their work on Tuesday evening. The Echo and the Eclipse had been chartered for the occasion, the former for a select party of the Westminsters ; the latter by Noulton and Goodman, for the conveyance of the Etonians and others. On their arrival at Putney-bridge at half-past six o'clock last evening, every thing around pre sented a scene of bustle and animation. The bridge and shore were crowded with anxious spectators of every class, and gentlemen of the various aquatic clubs ware betaking them selves to their boats. The Westminster were first afloat in the outrigger built by Noulton, and in which they achieved their last victory. Shortly afterwards the Etonians " put in an appearance," in an exceedingly handsome outrigger, constructed for the occa sion by the Messrs. Searle. Mr. C. Selwyn having taken his place as umpire in an eight, pulled by crack watermen, the opposing crews moved to their stations at Putney-bridge, to row to Barker's-rails, Mortlake, the Westminster party being on the Surrey side. It was an exceedingly even and beautiful start; the oars dashing in the water with almost the rapidity of lightning For an instant or so the bow of the Eton might be said t. show in front, but is the next the Westminster crew, inch b inch, and at a most desperate rate, began to draw a-bead Stimulated by the acclamations of the assembled multitude the work, fore and aft in each boat, was splendid, but each succeeding stroke, despite the exertions of the Etonians, ex hibited the superiority of their opponents. So close, however, was the conflict, that at the Crab Tree the 'Westminster party had hardly succeeded in drawing themselves clear ere the Etonians put on a desperate spurt, t.nd the nose of their boat came almost level with the steerer of the Westminster. A few strokes taken with immense power and rapidity by the Westminsters drew them well clear, and they pa, sed through Hammersmith bridge nearly a length in advance. The race was continued throughout with great spirit, but the West minsters increased their lead, and won by about two lengths and a half. FIRE IN LAMBETH.—Thursday forenoon a fire that at one time threatened disastrous consequences, broke out in the extensive range of premises belonging to Messrs. Noble and Rolls, varnish and colour-manufacturers, in the Corn wall-road, Lambeth. The flames originated in the varnish factory, a spacious building, surrounded by warehouses filled with articles of the most combustible nature. At the time of the outbreak two of the workmen were in the factory, attending to the varnish coppers, and so fiercely was the fire propagated that, in a very brief space of time, upwards of two hundred gallons of varnish became ignited, and com pletely enveloped the two workmen. Before they had time to escape from the premises both of the men were most se verely burnt. The engines of the London brigade and West of England Company promptly attended, but it was not until the firemen had been working nearly two hours that they succeeded in getting the fire under, by which time it is be lieved that nearly 3501. worth of varnish had been destroyed. Fortunately none of the manufactured stock was injured, the damage being confined to the varnish undergoing the process of manufacture. THE TEMPLE CHURCH.—On Thursday a notice was affixed to the doors of the church in the Temple that from yasterday until the 2d of November the usual morn ing service will be discontinued ; the members of the Inner and Outer Temple being supposed to be out of town during the vacation. The edifice will not, however, be closed to the public, and can be viewed on application to the sexton or head porter. SALE OF THE KEARNSEY ESTATE, DOVER. —On Thursday, at Garraway's, the Kearnsey estate, situated near Dover, was disposed of by auction, by Mr. Leifchild, the property having been formerly in the possession of Mr. J. blinet Factor, merchant, of Dover. The estate consisted of about 038 acres, and. was divided into several farms, all of which, together with the wood and timber, were to be pe remptorily sold. There were seventeen lots. The first con sisted of the family mansion of Kearnsey Abbey, and 112 acres of arable and meadow lands, &c., and including 40 acres of woods and plantations. This went for 9,200/. Lot 10, the manor of Kearnsey Court, with its manorial rights, privileges, and quit-rents, and about 280 acres, was sold for 8,250/. The whole estate was disposed of for 35,6601. There was an active competition for the various lots. - COBDEN TESTIMONIAL AND THE PREMIER. — The Right Hon. Lord Jolla Bluirtell hab sent 1004 to tho C 444011 toatiania
