The attention of Equitable Policy Holders is particularly called to the HALF CREDIT SCALES of PREMIUM of this Company, by which table the bonus to be declared at the next investigation, in January, 1850, may be secured at a pfesent annual payment of one half the rates charged by other companies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid less the amount of premiunas on credit. Should the life insured survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will rent'unce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon , or, in the event of the party beiar, at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up by commencing to pay the fall premium of the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with the Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last equitable division in 1840, when it was largely adopted. and many of the policies then effected are still in force, and latge bonuses have been aided to them on the Scale of the following table;— giun Assured.

THE PET FREEHOLD ESTATE OF THE COUNTY, WITH THE MANOR AND ITS EXTENSIVE RIGHTS, THE ENTIRE HAMLET OF WILLENHALL, A RESIDENCE IN THE ELIZABETHAN STYLE ; FIVE SUPERIOR FARMS, 750 ACRE 4, WITH A TENANTRY QUITE UNEXCEPTIONABLE. THIS FINE PROPERTY APPROACHES THE CITY OF COVENTRY, IS BOUNDED BY TWO RIVERS, AND THE TURNPIKE ROAD DIVIDES THE PROPERTY. IT IS, BESIDES, ALL TITHE-FREE, AND EXTRA -PAROCHIAL. R. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by in structions from the proprietor, to announce for public cornpetion, at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, the 16th of June, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, A FREEHOLD PROPERTY AND DEMESNE, of which it may well be said it has no fear of rivalry throughout this admired county—indeed, the advantages are so many, and press in such rapid succession upon the mind of the composer of this very imperfect outline, that it is not a little difficult to state where to begin. However, the effort must be made ; firstly , IT IS DECIDEDLY, FOR ITS SIZE, THE MOST ELIGIBLE, AND CERTAINLY THE MOST COMPACT PROPERTY THROUGFIOUT THE. COUNTY. There can be no scepticism :.rise out of this asseiltion. No one can with justice gainsay this high panegyric. It extends to THE WHOLE HAMLET, TOGETHER WITH THE EXTENSIVE MANOR OF WILLEXHALL, which is within two short miles of THE ANCIENT CITY OF COVENTRY. There are FIVE CAPITAL FARMS, WITH SUPERIOR BUILDINGS AND WARM FARM-YARDS TO EACH, AND ALL WITHIN A RIND FENCE, TITHE FREE AND EXTRA-PAROCHIAL, extending to about SEVEN HUNDRED AND FI'F'TY ACRES_ OF RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, and ARABLE LAND, entirely and strictly within a- ring fence, including the prolific woods. The rates are' unusually small, arising out of the fact that they are paid by a compromise with the LONDON' AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY, whose line passes through Willeahall. The soil is of first-rate quality, as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick pada verify. Every Farm possesses a superior dweljing, with large garden, and the build ings essential for agricultural purposes are unexceptionable, in fact, everything is in the most perfect apple-pie order. A microscopic eye could hardly discover a single thing out of place, and with it: A TENANtlily THAT MR. ROBINS PROCLAIMS CAN NOT BE EXCELLED ThIROUGIIOUT ENGLAND; AND HEAR IT ALL YE OF LITTLE FAITI Tti suJeulooypioanny , otlizitE eo - 61, '" THERE IS NOT NOR HAS THERE BEEN AN ARREAIt OF ONE GUINEA DURING THE LAST TEN YEARS." It may now be asked, " where is to be found a corresponding ease? AND ECHO REJOINS " WHERE." In respect to the auxiliaries not immediately sought in the shape o, income, It should he bald TILE ADJOINING MANORS ARE STRICTLY PRESERVED BY LORDS CRAVEN AND HOOD, as else the Baginton and Brandon property. There is an abundance of game, and field sports extend to a gentleman's fondest desire. The Estate is bounded by two large rivers (the Avon and Sowe), which furnish constant anyisenient to those inclined to recreate in fishing. THE ELIZABETHAN VILLA is altogether adapted to a gentleman's occupation. 'lt probably might be linpmve4 by a finishing stroke from the hand of an artiste. There is, besides, one of the farm-houses where the proprietor would be but too happy to take up his quarters occasionallyduring the sporting season. The next point requiring a commentary is the rental—it must be premised—there are no leases. The present low rental is 1,5501, a year ; but it is quite manifest that SEVENTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR will be conceded as a MODERATE rent, and this should be secured to the PRESENT GOOD MEN AND TRUE, by givng to each a fourteen years' lease. James Mellor, Esq., who has so long domesti cated with his family on the hill, and whose quiet abode overlooks Coventry and its beautiful spires, it would be in bad taste to refuse a lease for his life, although it will probably, and it is to be hoped, be a very long one. Longevity prevails on this healthy property, and some time since this was proIN d by MR. BLUE (close by) retiring into a better world, at the advanced age of 108. Mr. Mellor s grounds are beautifully disposed, and more especially the wild flower-garden, (under 'the worthy lady's especial care), which gives to it a pleasing variety. LORD CRAVEN AND LORD HOOD are close allies ; AND THE ESTATE OF THE BROTHER OF SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART. is close at hand. The farms are very productive in the sell for white crops, especially wheat and barley, with some admirable turnip land ; but as dairy farms, and to fatten bullocks, they have even a higher claim. The c'ntiguity to one of the first markets in England, and the facility to return manure, whenever the good folks of Coventry are indulged with a portion of the produce of this highly cultivated sell, are ad vantages that a good agriculturist will not overlook. And now, by way of conclusion, Mr. R o bi ns w ill as k, an d w ith earnestness (taking into the scale the great curiosity that prevails everywhere to get into good farms now-a.days), if the every day observation, resound ing now from al quarters, that THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN MORE FRIGHTEN tD THAN HURT, is not rendered most manifest by the above unassuming recital of facts? The plans are all but ready, and will be distributed, with a draw ing, on the plan with the Elizabethan Villa, by Mr. Phillips, jun., of Coventry. ills father (the eminent practitioner of this great city) will also take the trouble to give all essential explanation, and appoint a fit man to go over the estate.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS has pleasure in stating he has been selected to TRANSFER, without a limited price, at the White Lion Hotel, Bristol, on Thursday, the 25th of June, at One, for Two o'clock, precisely, A SINGULARLY DELIGHTFUL and altogether a MOST ELIGIBLE PROPERTY. • It Is well known and highly .appreciated as THE SEVERN HOUSE DEMESNE, four miles from Bristol and Clifton, on the road to the splendid river Severn and the plusage into Monmouthshire. A description of this villa abode is a matter of necessity, but the writer feels that his representation must necessarily be very incomplete, inasmuch, as although it will be conceded that there are to be found a little host of elegant abodes in progressing through the romantic drive of four mites. yet it is confidently stated that there is nothing to present itself that can be put in Juxta-position with Severn House. The position is remarkable for the capability it affords to partake in an unusual degree of the extent, and what may really he justly termed TRANSCENDENTLY BEAUTIFUL SCENERY. _ - It would almost wear the patience of the reader to extend the descrip tion of all trr writer saw, and strived to appreciate, but it is believed a very few gleanings Neill suffice to call up the attention of all such as would enjoy the pure, tuNophisticated air of Gloucestershire, in a villa to which it is universally conceded, and which stand alone both for situation and prepossessing appearance, It is placed on a lofty and beauteous eminence, but the luxuriant shrubberies and plantations that encircle it, keep the cold wind tat a most respectable distance, and in accomplishing this desideratum, it would appear that fairy land has been sought. to aid the great design. On perambulating through these splendid grounds the views are (en verite) magnificent, and the extent almost without a limit. THE CONFLUENCE OF THE SEVERN AND THE AVOW is immediately in view, and the perpetual moving scenery in the dis tance must be seen if the reaeer desires to appreciate it, for it is quite certain this imperfect account will leave an immeasurable host of ob jects entirely disregarded. Here rising houghs, adorned with summer's pride, Project their waving umbrage o'er the tide; While, gently perching on.the leafy spray, • Each feather'd warbler tunes his various lay. The road 'fioin Cliftim is * full of variety, and on arriving at the Sevens Mansion,' it will be perceived much of ingenuity must have been brought Into the field to accomplish the delightful ascent to be encountered, from the very pretty entrance-lodge -gate; but the reader is invoked, and with no small portion of anxiety, not to rely cn anything short of ocular demonstration ; as the fame of this residence has extended far and near, it necessarily renders it a work of supererogation and lightens the necessity to go into a more minute detail than this hasty compo sition will furnish. Clifton, the great feature of Gloucestershire, is close at hand, and becomes an auxiliary that it would be an injustice to overlOok. The neighbourhood is prone to good-fellowship, but if the fortunate occupant prefers quietude and repose to the gaiety that will surround him, he may enjoy it here uninterruptedly. All the great lions of the county are close at hand. THE FAMED PIERSEFIELD is only; a short drive, and Bantsville-park, a minor candidate for fame, is not far off, the verdant seenery which interposes itself in the progress to these highly commended properties extends over a vale so rich and lovely that its beauties seem to exceed the powers of commendation, and be it remembered all this (and very much more than has been asserted in this brief analysis) is within four hours' pleasant drive of the metropolis of London. This delightful abode ha- not yet been noticed sufficiently. " THERE IS THAT WITHIN WHICH PASSETH SHOW." It is a building o' considerable pretensions in its outward and visible signs; and a family, although numbering very many, will find the most ample accommodation within ; it may be added, that it lacks nothing that can bq understood in the comprehensive term of com fort. The out-offices are most complete throughout, the court yard is worthy of admiration, and a sporting gentleman will find in the stabling and coaeh houses all that ingenuity can suggest. The kitchen-gardens are very extensive, inclosed by lofty brick walls, and the soil is exceedingly prolific; the fruit is considered unusually 140 flavoured. THE HOT AND SUCCESSION-HOUSES are quite perfect, and the produce is beyond praise. There is resides A BEAUTIFUL FRENCH GARDEN, in excellent taste, and shedding its beauteous fragrance on all around, and THE BOTANIC WORLD WILL GLEAN from these gardens considerable knowledge, the bulbs being a selec tion in great part imported from Harlem, and of the choicest speci mens that that city is famed for. The scenery everywhere appears interminable, tends to give a pleasing variety, which again, it is pro. claimed, fears nothing by a comparison throughout this far-famed county. It Is in the midst of plenty, everything very reason.. able—the sea close at hand, and Bristol and Clifton pour in their auxiliaries daily. THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO FIFTY ACRES OF ADMIRABLE LAND, in which is included A SNUG LITTLE FARM-HOUSE AND BUILDINGS, giving to the industrious views of th e p r op r i e t or a very delightful re source to fill up an occasional idle hour, beside leisure in improving the breed of his cattle, thus combining the art of driving away ennui (if it should presume to make its unwelcome appearance) from this seat of happy contentment. The progress to the summit of thif QUITE PERFECT BIJOU . _ has been the work of considerable tact and judgment. It is almost imperceptible, arising from the constant occupation of the mind in admiring and beholding the scenery around. The prolific array of American shrubs is seen in proud competition with the plants from Harlem. From the elevated spot, in these woods are seen the Castle of Blaize, and the ruins of Mr. Cave's and Ragland Castle ; indeed There is nothing lento fancy's guess. You see that all is loveliness. By way of conclusion it should •be remarked that In spite of wintry winds, the full growth of the Plantations excludes the possibility of its penetrating to the abode, The ensemble to which the Severn Property puts in an irresist ible claim is perfect. It would puzzle ingenuity to discover a solitary fault. It can only he seen on Tuesdays and Saturdays from twelve till five o'clock, and not without a particular and drawing (which will cost one shilling for a party, to be had also of Messrs.

Notice is hereby given, that in compliance with the Sessional Orders of the Houses of Lords and Commons, a SPECIAL GENE RAL ?MEETING of the HOLDERS of SCRIP and BANKERS' RE CEIPTS for SCRIP, of the Caledonian Extension Railway, will be held within the Thatched House Tavern, 85, St. James's-street, London, on Mo?m the Ist day of June next, at Twelve o'clock Noon, when there ;111 be submitted to their cowdderatian and approval, a copy of the Bill now pending before Parliament for incorporating this Company and authorising the construction of the railway.

The Committee of Management have the satisfaction of an nouncing to the Shareholders, that the Bill for incorporating the Company having passed Standing Orders, has been introduced into the House of Commons, and will be forwarded through Parliament with the least possible delay. A Meeting of the Shareholders has been called, in accordance with the Sessional Orders recently passed by both Houses of Parliament, at which it is necessary that one-third of the capital of the Company should be represented. - _ • • Shareholdersh;Ure unable to be present are requested to lodge their Scrip with any of the following parties, who will give a receipt for the same, and return the Scrip after it has been produced to the Meeting, viz. : Mr. John Marr, Secretary to the Company, 28, Parliament -street, Westminster ; Messrs. Hope and Oliphant, W. S., Princes-street, %Edinburgh ; Messrs. Grahame, Maxwell, and Co., St. Vincent-street, Glasgow. In consequence of the works being now limited to the Western Extension, the Directors will be enabled either to reduce the amount of the shares or to restrict the sum to be called upon each to a very considerable extent. . The project, as now limited, consists, first, of the Branch from Lesmahagow to the. Clydesdale Junction Railway at Hamilton, opening a direct communication from the most valuable mineral field in the West of Scotland to the city of Glasgow, from which a very large return may be expected, as:the gas coal of Lesmahagow is well known for its superior quality, and for that description of coal there is now an unlimited demand for exportation, as well as for home consumption. The funds already in the hands of the Di rectors will be applied, in the first instance, to the construction of this line. The other portions of the line 'will open a direct communication in conjunction with the Caledonian Railway from the important town and neighbourhood of Ayr, with Edinburgh on one hand, and Carlisle and the manufacturing districts of England on the other. These lines also pass through extensive mineral fields, and the local traffic will be considerable, but the Directors do not look on the im mediate formation of these works as equally pressing, inasmuch as the traffic cannot be completely developed until after the com pletion of the Edinburgh branch of the Caledonian Railway. Under these circumstances it will not be necessary to press incon veniently on the shareholders by early or frequent calls. A question will come before the meeting as to the propriety of inserting a clause in the Bill, authorising the Directors to allow in terest on the amount of calls from the eate of payment. J. J.

THE GLOBE NEWSPAPER. MR. GEORGE ROBINS feels very great pleasure in intimating to the public that he has been selected by the worthy proprietor to SELL, by PUBLIC AUCTION', on , THIIRSDAY, the 9th of July, at Twelve o'clock, at the Auction Mart, -London, in lots of one 62d share each, A considerable portion of THE "GLOBE" JOURNAL, a paper of which it is no' a little difficult to do justice in the common language of praise. first, it may be well to state the reason why a paper so deservedly - high In the public estimation (and never at any period int, prouder position than at this juncture) should be in the market. It is not a little refreshing to ➢lr. Robins to be called upon for this explanation. THE PANCIPAL PROPRIETOR, - WHO IT IS KNOWN HAS A VERY PREPONDERATING SHARE in this " LITTLE MINE OF WEALTH." and leas prz-s4ed over - 1:$, deattuel for - many ycars, Nt length has reached the VENERABLE AGE OF EIGHTY-TWO, a period of life, which is but rarely vouchsafed to mankind, and, although in the enjoyment of excellent health, it may be conceded to the honourable proprietor, that he should have a few years un alloyed from the daily pursuit of literature and profit. It belongs to Win especially to have claimed, through good and bad report, the title to consistency ; indeed lie has, without deviation, pursued the even tenor of his course. This Journal has always resisted every insidious offer to compromise its character. It has traversed its beaten path or many long years amid great vicissitudes, but always cheered by the knowledge that _ . CHAftACTER AND CONSISTENCY TS THE MOTTO CLAIMED ESPECIALLY BY THE " GLOBE." • If it be asked what has been the result, it will cheer and gladder he hearts of those who value the path that has risen this paper to its just pitch of renown to know that it never was more in public estimation than at the present moment. The next (and with a pur cha-er an importan quern) will suggest itself, how has its income flu-tuated, and what is its present position ? Gladly does Mr. Robins hasten to rejoin, that he is able to give the tidiest sati-faction on that and indeed every other point. The statement of prod a during the last ten years is before the -writer of this announcement, from which he collects the fact, that the Shares HAVE NEVER ARRIVED AT SO HIGII A VALUE AS AT TILE PRES , NT MOMENT. The annual receipts and profits will be given in detail In the printed Par. tient ars of the sale, which will prove this most satisfactorily. A criterion 01 its increasing prosperity may be gathered from the fact, that, in 1844, the present Proprietor of so lai ge a stake purchased THREE ADDITIONAL SHARES, A commentary upon this would be superfluous. The paper, it is known, is divided into SIXTY-TWO SHARES. THE VENERABLE VENDOR AT THIS SALE POSSESSES AND WILL SELL NINETEEN SHARES. HOW Ils" - FLUENTI.U. AND HOW VALUABLE must be the privileLe of one who could posst ss himself of the whole of these shares, who, following closely In the track of his prede cessor, may continue to enjoy such an income as is not derivable from many London journals. Much more might and ought to be re ported in favour of this " FONDLING OF THE PRESS." The printed Particulars will supply a little of the deficiency, the rest will-form a short exordium on the memorable day when this portion of the " GLOBE " CHANGES HANDS. The Particulars will be ready twenty-one days prior to the Salo; then to be had at the Auction Mart, the office of the " Globe," and at Mr. Geone Robins's offices, London.

Anti in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins, without the slightest affectation, proclaims that he ap proaches the task with fear and trembling. The only saving clause by which he can well seek to soften the reproaches of an enlightened and deeply-read cgmmunity is alone to be found in the liberty the com poser will take with authors so highly gifted, that he must indeed be a bold man who will )tot y. cid assent to his re,earches. Dugdale is no mean authority, and with this, and a few introductory facts, the herculean task must be approached. THE FORD ABBEY DEMESNES are to be traced back to a very distant day, and it has ever since maintained its proud superiority over EVERY OTHER MONASTERY IN ENGLAND.

The order of architecture is in the Tudor style, and may be dated a)out the time of Henr VIII.; but to describe it as it deserves is felt to be far beyond the reach of the limited capacity of the com poser, end even much wiser heads would be puzzled in the attempt to do it justice—it to indeed THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST: Its fame has been held in the highest veneration from generation to generation, and it is now avowed to have no successful rival amid the vast variety of monasteries to he found throughout the country. The first impression on beholding this ANCIENT AND CLASSIC PILE the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory ; his mind on the instant seemed to be subdued into a most devout and reli gious state —one of absolute wonder—mixed up with bound less admiration ; it.was a joyous spectacle, but Mr. Robins cannot too earnestly invoke all those who possess a soul congenial with ob jects of antiquity to go to the Abbey, and then judge for themselves ; they will, with one accord, proclaim how absolutely impossible it is to convey in suitab e terms the panegyric which would tie awarded to it.. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu sion ; the form prescribed to the length ofan announcement will not ad mit of more, but the Writer promises, in his printed particulars; to go into a little historical statement that will be acceptable, at least to the learned, and all such as are well versed in our history ; and he is fortunately enabled, by the ass - stance of a very highly talented lady, to aid the historical account of Dugdale by selections of her own, and guided by afudgment and cleverness that has never been held in doubt. To gratitY the learned anti the curious in distant parts, Mr. Robins has determined to append to the explanatory par_ ti c ulars of the several farms and lands a plan.of the whole, with a beautiful drawing of the Abbey, to be ready six weeks antecedent to the sale. _ The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of ~s . It is on the boi dens of the three fine counties of Dorset, Devon, and somerset, 15 :.ilea from Taunton, 3 from Chard; about 50 miles font Bristol and Bath, and within a deligh ful ride of 5% hours from London, which the approaching railway through Chard will reduce to about 4 hours, and also bring it within fifty mites' ride of 4x, ter. The county in which the Abbey is paced will not yield to any other. The reader needs not be remind d that, in days of yore, the taste of the monks in the selection of their lands was never questh Ted, and, amidst all the good things of this world, they were remarkable for the accuracy of their judgment. In selecting the best of everything, even THE FAT OF THE LAND was not ACCOUNTED TOO GOOD FOR THEIR REFINEp TASTE. This princely property is all freehold of inheritance, surrounded by lawns and pleasure-grounds, with gravelled walks between rows of umbrageous trees of great size and stateliness, interspersed with or namental waters, cascades, and waterfalls sparkling with foam, and here and there a statue to diversify the scene. The Park. which Is. one of - great beauty, is stocked with deer, whose venison has ob tained the highest celebrity for its fatness and tine flavour, while the soft uneulating foliage of its rnaggificent and TIME -HONOtIRED TREES is perpetually deluding the eye into a belief that it was of almost boundless extent, and inirarting just such an air of tempered wild ness as would gratify the lover of scenery, without offence to those who are Inclined to look rather for the evidences of the superintend ing hand of care and cultivation. Indeed everything seems to in crease the charms of a spot so rich in nature's beauties. Of the orna mental waters in front of the Abbey it is recorded— Before the mansion lay a lucid lake. Broad as transparent, deep and freshly fed By a river, which its softened way did take In currents through the calmer waters spread. THE RIVER AXE so renowned by the disciples of Isaak Walton for its piscatory pleasures and delicious trout, winds, in serpentine beauty, through the Mir demesne. Lost for a space through thickets veering, But broader when again appearing. It was here that The branching stag swept down with all his herd, To quaff a brook which murmured like a bird. It may st'll he asked, " WHAT MORE CSN MORTALS NOW DESIRE ?" The sporting qualities extend to everything a gentleman's heart can contemplate ; by the way, THE MONKS CELEBRATED WALK is in high preservation. And to omit a panegyric upon THE ANCIENT TAPESTRY THAT ADORNS THE STATE ROOMS would approach sacrilege. It really and truly may be accounted tb• WONDER AND ADMIRATION OF THE WORLD. It fearlessly challenges a rival ; and the writer is ex ceedingly desirous that the reader should not for ono moment charge this description with being too - vivid. He may rest assured here is no flight of fancy, but a veri table and unassuming report. This description, it is perceived, has already extended beyond the limits prescribed, and therefore (with lament) the writer ends this very imperfect recital, merely observing that the terms used by the foundress of the abbey when she tendered to the holy fathers her manor of Thorncombe, in exchange for the barren lands of Brightley, stating it to be " well wooded and fertile," are trebly appropriate in the present day, in proof whereof it may be stated that the Messrs. Fowler, of Gramme Farm (the rrinclpql estate), bred a horn ewe in 1833, which weighed 18st. 41b., and for size and beauty it has never been equalled. The tenantry are very respectable, w and without one guinea t i arrear; indeed, the latter ord Amf e c.E ou sA l TD l O not find a place in their vocabulay. The rent is exceed ingly low.

His Highness will meet his mother at Vienna, and , after some stay at Milan, and on' the lake of ComQ, will return home through the countries on the Irhine. Haistaunotr, MAT 9.—We understand that the loan for nine millions of marks, resolved on by the Senate and citilens in July, last year, has been contracted for by the house of S. Neine, of this city, and by the houses Sehickler Brothers and E. M. Magnar, in Berlin, under the name of Hamburgische Staats Premium. ATILEIZE, STOCKHOLM, MAY s.—lt is said that a COM.. , mercial treaty between Sweden and Norway and tht,. King , dom of the Netherlands is in contemplation, and Baron Wahrendorff, his Majestz's Chargé d'Affaires at the Courts both of Belgium and the Netherlands, has gone from Brussels to the Hague on this account. COPENHAGEN, MAY 7.—His Royal Ilittness the" Crown Prince went yesterday evening onboard the Aegir steamer, , and this morning on board the Gesion frigate. At eleven o'clock this morning the King and suite went in the same steamer to the frigate, which weighed anchor this 'afternoon, and together with the stesuner proceeded northward. COPENHAGEN, MAY 9.—We now learn that the dabs. tion of the Gesion frigate is to cruise for ten months on the Spanish coast, and to go as far as Madeira. The King re mained on board on the 7th till three o'clock in 'the sifter noon, when he left it off Vedbeck, and arrived here on board the Aegir at half-past five o'clock. RIGA, A.PRIL 29.—Our merchants are in the 'greatest anxiety. Our harbour of Dunamunde is choked up .with sand, by which above 100 ships richly laden are prevebted entering Riga, and a great part of them have already' put back, hoisting a black flag. This is a dreadful blow to our commerce. 'fhe Emperor has assigned; a million of roables to provide the means for remedying this misfortune.. • A COPENHAGEN, MAY 7.—The expected visit of the Swedish Royal Family to our Court, gives our politicians ample nat ter for conjectte. At first, only a visit of the young Mike of Upland wa announced ; afterwards, however, in conse quence of special invitation, both the Crown Prince and the King of Sweden have resolved to pay a visit to our Court. Now, as the reigning Queen of Sweden, with the Princess of Sweden, who is 16 years of age, will reside in Schonen, hopes are entertained that we may see those august members of the Royal Family of Sweden at Copenhagen, which of course, gives full play to political conjectures, in which the re-marriage of Prince Frederick of Hesse, nearly allied to the Danish throne, is not to be overlooked. Immediately after the visit of tbs. Swedish Royal Family their Majesties will set out for the senchiee, the King will then go for the pur posetification from Verli .."- of sea -bathing to Foltz., and the Queen to Augustunberg.

The Journal of Bruges every day inserts in some state ments respecting the distress of Thielt and the environs, which we cannot pass over in silence. Scarcely a day passes without poor little children arriving at Bruges, who wander about the streets of the city, exhausted with fatigue and hunger. They come from Thielt, their parents are dead, or shut up in the Mendicity establishment, or have abandoned them, being unable to support them. These are serious facts let it be ascertained whether they are correct or not ; we wish the latter, but we fear that they are too true.—Brus sels Paper, May 13. HAIILBURGU 80. MAY 12.

GOVERNESSES'BENEVOLENT INBTITITTION.--Th• third annual meeting of the Subscribers to this institution was held On Thursday at the Hanover-square Rooms. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge in the chair, supported by Viscount Ingestre , ALP, B. B. Cabbell, Esq., E.R:S., Mr. Vaughan Richards, Q.C., Hon. H. Ashley, Sec. &c. &c. His Royal Highness opened the buil ness by observing, that he bad much gratification in being in a con dition to acquaint the subscribers that the continued prosperity which had crowned the operations of the society had placed it amongst the leading institutions of the country. Although but in existence throe years, upwards of 900 cases had been considered by the ladies' com mittee, and nearly 20,0001. was invested for the benefit of those who wished to purchase annuities. A considerable sum had also been received towards the establishment of a home for dis engaged governesses. The report read by the honurary secre tary, the Rev. David Laing, stated that during tbe past year twelve donations, of the amount of iel. and up wards, had been received; nearly 300 cases had come be fore the ladies' committee,. of which 253 were favourably en tertained, and pecuniary grants to the amount of 4911. had been made to 159. An annuity had been founded, through the benevolent suggestion of the Bishop of Durham, who offered to give 50/. towards the said object, if nine others would do the same, thus making alto : rether eight perman e nt anna i t i es. Towards the provident fiend the amount received and invested now reaches 20,0001. An Act of Incor poration would be applied for during the present cession of Parlia ment, to enable the society to hold freehold property, and thus to carry out fully its design. The report added that his Royal Highnetst Prince Albert had become a patron of the institution. According to the financial statement the total receipts towards the provident fund amounted to 11,65Z1. 3s. 10d., and deducting the expendit ure , a balance of 9601, 10 s . 10d. rem ained. After addresses from Lord Ingestrie and Mr. Bond Cabhell the report was agreed to. A vote of thanks was passed to his Royal Highness, who, having acknowledged the compliment, the meeting dissolved. An election of annuitant* next took place, when out of 65 candidates three were chosen. "M 2 SIIIP IS IIY WlFE." , —While. the St. Nicholas was on her way down the North River, on Saturday, the officers discovered a man far out in the bay, nearly opposite Peekskill, float ing on what subsequently proved to be a boat which had been cap sized. As soon as the report that a man in distress was in sight, the captain ordered the pilot to make for him. The St. Nicholas was soon alongside, and a line was thrown to the ferryman (for such the man proved to be), but instead of seizing the only means of escape, our hero of the-boat-bottom began to parley, somewhat as follows : " Etilloa." said the Captain, "dont you want to come a'board r . I "Will ye right my boat and pump her out ?" asked the man in dis tress. " Why no, my man, we have not time ; but if you will take 1 that line we will haul you a'board." "No ye don't. II I could only get this boat righted, that's all I'd care for." So throwing back the line indignantly, the boatman squatted himself quietly upon his precarious perch and awaited another tarn of the xdieel of fortune. This steamer was obliged to pass on her course; the captain, how ever, soon spoke a schooner which was on her way, and requested the master to go to the aid of the boatman, whose situation was really one of danger. The river was very rough, and the sea in the bay was running a great deal too high for comfort or safety. The schooner soon hove-to alongside the beat, but I 1 S passengers from the St. N. could see them, the captain of the schooner and the wrecked boatman were, to all appearances, negotiating. The latter, in all Probability, demanding that in return for the privilege of rescuing him, the master of the schooner should pump out, his boat.—Areto York Harper. BLACK AND WRITE TWINS.—Dr. Cunningham re cords, is the Philadelphia Examiner, the case of a negress, who was, delivered of twins, one black and the ether white. He says, a negro woman, aged about forty-five, after having giving birth to thirteen children during her life, none of which were twins, was, during the last spring, safely delivered of two at one birth, one being black and the other white. He saw them when they were a few weeks old, and the contrast in colour, hair, &c., was, indeed, striking; so much so, that four-fifths of those who examined them were of opinion that the negress was not the mother of both, but that some deception was being played ; the mother persisted and still deletes them to be her own. Dr. Cunningham remarks on this singular fact, that a black woman may give birth, at one time, to a black chlld and a mulatto, but the occurrence is extremely rare. A case like that under notice, he considered to be a phenomenon as inexplicable as it is interestinE DEATH OF CAPTAIN THOS.

THE OREGON NOTICE.—At length the vote has been taken on the Oregon question, and Mr. Crittenlen's resolution has passed the Senate by a vote of 40 to 14—all the 54 deg. 40 in. men voting in the negative. This resolution, as amended and passed, advises the President to settle the Oregon question amicably, and also authorises him to give the year's notice at his own discretion. The intelligence was received here yesterday, by the magnetic tele graph, about twelve o'clock, and It was immediately sent by the . British Consul, by a special steamboat express, to reach the packet sailing to Liverpool, and then lying in the lower harbour at that hour, .The vote of the Senate is of the utmost importance. Some suppose it will be rejected by the House; but whether rejected or not, it settles the Oregon question during the present Congress. It place* in the hands of the President the entire control of the negoti ation, to be used according to his own discretion. It is the greatest and most potent element of a re-election that any President ever re ceived ; and the probability now is, that all negotiations, looking to a final settlement of this question, will be postponed or protracted for the next three years. The 54 deg. 40 no. men will be perfectly satisfied with the result. Mr. Polk, with the peculiar influences surrounding him, can now spring the Oregon question upon the country whenever he chooses, and thus seieureEtnhgedned fo r dr the ch nextanees of a re-election.
