MUTUAL ASSURANCE BRANCH. Complete security afforded to the Assured by means of an ample subscribed capital, and the large funds accumulated from the pre miums on upwards of 6,000 policies. Half the amount only of the annual premium required during the first five years, the remaining half premiums being paid out of the profits, which, after five years, will be annually divided among the Assured. T HE TONTINE LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. (Provisionally Registered.) Capital 2,009,0001., in 100,GO0 Shares of 201. each. The plan of this Company offers considerable and peculiar advan tages to the shareholders. In addition to the profit arising from Life Assurance transactions, it is proposed to raise a capital of 1,004,0001. or upwards by the grant of Tontine Annuities in classes, to be regu lated by the ages of the subscribers or their nominees, which capital, on the death of the survivor in each class, will be divided exclusively among the shareholders. The principle of the Tontine Annuities is as follows:—I1 1,000 per sons sulescribe 1001. each, they or. their respective nominees, being of an ego to enter the class, from 45 to 50, at which the Annuity would be about 61. per cent., each subscriber or nominee will, during the con•innance of all the lives, receive an Annuity of ed. ; but as 'the lives drop, the Annuity of the deceased parties will be divided amongst the survivors until they are reduced to six, each of whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life; but as they respectively die off, the 1 000/. which ho or she received will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefit of the share holders. The classes containing younger lives will receive a lower rate of annuity ; the older a higher rate. This mode of investment, while it will afford ample funds for the promotion .of Life Assurance transactions, will further enable the Company to guarantee to persons borrowing money upon approved seeurity, and effecting a policy of assurance, to be assigeed as a collateral security, that so long as the interest on the money lent and the premium on the policy regularly paid, the money lent shall not be cilled in till the precise amount accrues by the failure of the life assured.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITT, THURSDAY EVRNING. HERALD.—There can be no longer hesitation in assuming that the transfer of the railway deposits is so nearly completed that there is no further risk Of deranging the Money market by the operation. As far as respects the Public Securities, the orders for re-investment have exceeded. the . orders to effect sales both yesterday and to-day, and the consequence is a further advance in prices. Throughout the operation, however, the transactions in the Public Securities have, after the first offset, been so equally balanced, th a t they have pro duced nou of the anticipated convulsions in prices, and the inconveniestee, as we have repeatedly shoWn, has fallen chiefly on the commercial interest. What now remains to be put to the proof is the repay ment of loans. made on securities by the Bank of England, the directors of which institution are admitted on all hands to have conducted the business with prudence and liberality. The accommodation they have given, both by way of dis count and on loan, has been at short dates compared with the ordinary course of business ; but there is no doubt but a reasonable extension of time will be given when thcaperiods expire as circumstances render it necessary. Sash a strong impression had the overcharged anticipation of difficulties with the railway deposits produced in the country, that the banks that had no direct connexion with railway business, as well as those that had, have for a month past generally retained considerable surpluses of money unemployed, in order to be prepared for the dreaded catastrophe. The usual sources of discount by the large houses in London were thus temporarily dried up, and it is matter of astonishment to every person conversant with the customary roatine of business in the metropolis that the mischief thereby done has not been much greater than has yet appeared. As far asi matters have as yet been developed, it r howeve . , proves the justice of the distinction wo drew at an early period of the past year between the railway speculations and those that took place in 1824-5 and 1835.., . We showed that the fact of .the railway mania bein 'to that matter alone, without being extended to commercial com modities, so as to enhance their money value, would most materially soften the reaction compared with the other two periods with which the parallel was drawn, and the result has so far established the correctness of the position. We may now expect the discount business gradually to return to the usual channels, and the process will be accele rated by the distribution of the funds of defunct railway coin panics, that must now melt away by hundreds. The proprietors of the London and County Bank held their annual meeting to-day, when the directors exhibited their accounts for the year ending the 31st December.: Our 'readers will recollect that we had occasion, at a former period, to call attention to the relative small amount of the paid-up capital of this institution, compared with the number of its branches, and the opinion we gave that it would be prudent to increase it whilst the Money Market was easy, in order that they might be better prepared to meet a pressure. This view has been acted on, and the capital has now been increased to up wards of 200,0001., and the statement of the accounts will show that the bank has been managed throughout the past year with great prudence and circumspection. It will be seen that the proprietors are now about to reap the benefit of that good management in a dividend of 5 per cent., clear of the income-tax, leaving 5,5561. to be carried to the reserve fund. _ _ . _ It will be probably recollected that the London and County Bank was involved in a most vexatious lawsuit, by the failure of the firm of Thompson and Coils, bill-brokers. It was at one time supposed that the bank would lose nearly 40,0301. by the securities upon which they had made ad vances; but some time age they compromised with the par ties to the action, and the said securities have now so much advanced in value, that the ultimate loss will be a mere trifle compared to what was expected in the first instance. Altogether, therefore, the affairs of this bank must be con sidered as standing in a favourable position, and it is, at the same time, worthy of notice, that throughout the whole period that money was at a very low value, they continued to pay interest on deposit and current accounts. CHRONICLE.—The opinion we expressed yesterday, that the pressure for money had passed its strength, has been con firmed to-day. Discounts are still difficult, but the Funds have experienced a further advance of nearly N per cent., and Exchequer- bills are also higher. We hear that the pay ments to the Accountant-General by rail way companies amount to 9,000,000/. From that to 10,000,0001. was our estimate from the commencement. We held that to be the fair estimate of the amount that would be actually paid to the Accountant-General, when others, who spoke with much assumption of official authority, would not condescend to name the gross amount at less than 30,000,0001.! The same parties, it is true, have lately stated the amount paid in for railway deposits at not more than 5,000,000/. The purchases made to •day by the broker for the Court of Chancery have been equal, it is said, to 500,0001. They t.ave been effected for behoof of railway-committees, who are now re. investing the 2tock and Exchequer-hills which they had previously sold to enable them to make good their deposits to the Ac countant General in money. In addition to the support which the Stock and Exchequer-bill market received from these large operations, the executors of a very wealthy mem ber of the Stock Exchange, lately deceased, made extensive purchases. • The movement was almost exclusively c , nfined to the English Funds. We quote rather better prices for registered railway shares; but the business done was extremely limited, and until the report of the Select Committee be made known is likely to remain so. It is said that the members of that Committee are greatly divided as to the proper course to be pursued. We are not surprised at this, and shall be more surprised if they should ever arrive at anything like unani • rnity. But be that as it may, it is most desirable that the result of their labours should be made known without delay. The promoters of railway companies will then know the best and worst of their position, and will be enabled to decide whether to proceed with their Bills this session, or to leave them over to another and snore convenient season. POST.—Some large purchases of Stock and Exchequer bills were made in the course of the day. The Chancery broker was the principal buyer. He laid out several hun dred thousands in Consols and Exchequer bills, for account, as it was understood, of the railway companies. The Bank broker made purchases of Three per Cent. Reduced, and Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. stock, and the consequence of these and other considerable investments, was a further advance in prices. Consols, which rose 3 / 4 percent. yesterday, were done at an equal rate of improvement to-day, so that, within the two days only, the unusually large advance of :1% per cent. has been realised, and from the circum stance of the -markets having closed at the highest prices of the day, the chances appeared to be rather in favour of a further movement in the same favourable direction. The Bank Directors had their weekly meeting, but separated without making any alteration in their rate of discount, which continues, therefore, at a minimum of 3 1 4 per cent. This had probably some little influence on the markets, but the fact that the Accountant-General is con verting the deposit moneys of the railway companies into stock and Exchequer-bills operated as the principal stimu lus, as it may , be inferred from the adoption of so bold a course, that Government prefers risking any loss that may perchance arise from a resale to the other alternative—that of keeping a large sum of money locked up in the Bank of England, to the injury of commerce and the revenue. It would be - absurd any longer to entertain the question of de posits as one that can exercise a sinister influence on the Money-market. To-morrow (Friday) will be the last day allowed for paying up the amounts called for by the stand ing orders, subsequently to which the sums provided for the purpose must, as a matter of course, gradually return into circulation.

British manufactures had de eined itt,price, in consequence of the scarcity of money and ice war in the runjaub ; but, fortunately, at the latest dates more easiness existed, and the banks Showed a better feeling to the niefeantile interest. The value of rice continued to advance, the adeottiets from home being favourable to the article. The Governor of the Mauritius had also offered ad vantageous terms for a supply of the grain, a scarcity being attrehended in that island. - - EFFECTS OF SIR ROBERT PEEL'S MEASURES. DUBLIN, FEB; 4.—The most absurd alarms prevail, in va rious parts of this country, as to the immediate tendency of the measures proposed by Sir Robert Peel in producing ruinously low prices for corn and cattle. As an example of the extravagant delusions on this subject the . Cork Reporter of yesterday says: 4 Such has been..the effect on the markets in this city, in consequence of the enunciation of the intended change in the corn-laws, that they are at present flooded with provisions. At Saturday's potato market there were 400 loads brought in for sale, against 307 the previous week, and every anxiety was evinced to dispose of them at reduced price-s. The cattle market on Saturday was also crowded with beasts of all descriptions, there Using over 2,000 pigs on sale, and offering at a reduction of 3s. a cwt. on the pre vious day's prices, yet buyers did not evince any desire to purchase even on those terms, and many of them left the market unsold.. The number in the market yesterday twelve months was 800, and yesterday it amounted to over 1,300. Black cattle - and sheep ware exhibited in proportionably large numbers. This increase has been caused entirely by the proposed measures contemplated to be brought into ope ration by the Minister, the country people being under an apprehension that there will be such an influx of foreign corn and provision as to reduce the prices considerably of home produce." These alarms will ba dissipated before many days. In Dublin, and generally throughout Ireland, the grain and cattle markets have been scarcely affected, and an advance, instead of a serious reduction, is likely to take place early in the spring. Indeed, there actually has Leon an advance in the Dublin cattle market within the last week. THE FREE-TRADERS OF BELFAST. The Northern Whig contains the following gratifviog statement :—" It is with the highest gratification that -we hare to record the extent of public . feeling in Belfast in favour of the abolition of the corn-laws. A short - time since a petition was prepared praying the House of Com . abolition of all duties open foreign corn imported—a mea sure required alike by sound policy, humanity, and coin- mon sense.' rhis petition has been signed with a prompti tude, and to an extent never equalled in the case of any ' other petition from this town. On Saturday . W. Pixie, Esq., carried it with him for London, to place it in the hands of our very worthy representative, Mr. Ross, who will give it his cordial and able support; and Lord John Chichester, the other Member for the town, has been written to, with a re quest that he will alse support it—a request which we hope ho will, after such an overwhelming expression from his con stituents, feel it his duty to comply with. The petition was upwards of 66 yards in length, and had 14,400 signatures, in cluding those of persons of all parties, religious and political. Among the names were those of the great body of the leading gentlemen of Belfast. The signatures in the Commercial News-room, which the leading commercial and manufactur ing gentlemen of the town are in the habit of frequenting, amounted to 800; and from this fact the extent of support to free trade given by the merchants and manufacturers of Belfast may be estimated. The Dublin Evening Packet, sneered at the 90 gentlemen who invited Mr. Cobden to Bel fast ; we request our Contemporary to let his readers know that 14,400 names hare been affixed to a petition from Bel fast in favour of 'the immediate and unconditional abolition of all duties upon foreign corn.' The Dublin Evening Mail, in a paroxysm of excitement, asks, foolishly, what the flax spinners of Belfast, among others, will think of Sir Robert Peel's measure. We reply, that there is not one flax-spinner in Belfast who is not a free-trader." TILE POTATO DISEASE. NENAGII, FEB. 4.—We continue to receive the most dis tressing accounts of the fearful progress of the disease from various quarters. In the King's County the complaints are universal. In this county the disease has gone on with amazing celerity within the last three weeks—many persons on examining their pits have found their potatoes, in some instances, altogether useless—not even fit for pigs or cattle. In several districts the poor are pining in the utmost misery ; but with unequalled fortitude and patience, hoping even where there is nothing but religion to assuage their wretchedness. The heavy and constant rains of the last few weeks—raining almost without intermission—have done great injury ; and the softness of the weather otherwise tends, in a great measure, to produce that fermentation of the potato, which causes its destruction as an article of food. CLOSING OF THE PORT-HOLES. The ports have not been opened, bat the Government have determined to close the port-holes in their absurd fortifica tions erected throughout Ireland during the state trials. T h e following curi o us paragraph appears in the Tipperary Vin dicator . " CummEr.—Whilst the public mind has been in a state of agitation here on the subject of the corr.-laws, and whilst politicians were busy discussing the political consistency of Sir Robert Peel, an order arrived from head-quarters to close thoports ; and her Majesty's Honourable Board of Ordnance have commenced operations already, for the port-holes in the barrack walls are all closed, and there is no more sign of Clonmel being a fortified town at the present moment, than if millions of stalwart repealers never had pledged them selves to repeal the union; even those unightly show-boxes which overhang the barrack-gates, are about to be removed, and not a wreck will be allowed to remain behind to prove the vigorous efforts made in '44 by the ' strong Government,' in the futile expectation of coercing the patriots of our loved island-home into forgetfulness of their country."

The rills for theso railways will be presented to-aight. e re g:trd these as, perhaps, the most important Bills from Scot We land l 'or this year, as they will extend railway commu nication to a i2rge and most important section of the country, which is at preseot: wholly unsupplied. The Perth and In verness line is a coninttation of the Central line, opened up by the Caledonian and cottish Central, and places the whole north of Scotland in the molt direct communication with the south, of which the nature of the country admits. The dis tance from Inverness to Perth, by the proposed route, is 1304 miles, and the following table, prepared from an exa , ruination of the plans, in comparison with those of the Great North of Scotland line from Aberdeen to Inverness, places the superiorities of clear the Perth.line, as regards public accommo dation, in a very light : . .

It is of importance, in considering the rival claims of these lines and the Great North of Scotland scheme, to keep in view that the traffic of the northern counties, both in pas seßgerA, merchandise, and stock, with the towns and markets of the south, and not with the coast districts between Elgin and the Firth of Tay, with which the Aberdeen line pro poses to establish a c,nunexion. ---- RUTLAND ELECTION.— -There is not likely to be any contest for this little agriculNral county, although a requi sition is being got up to George Finch, Esq., who, when M.P. for Stamford, was, by some journals, styled a "chaffinch," inasmuch as, on one occasion, the :Honourable Members left the House whilst Mr. Finch was speaking.

It, Las the advaa tage, too, of being of a most expansive nature, as it may embrace not only the peculiar qualities and exce 1- lencies of the hero of the story, but the principal events with which he was connected, the circumstances of the time in which he lived, and brief traits too of the more remarkable characters with whom ho bad intercourse. Such works, therefore, are read with eageraess; many ek them possess deep interest—deeper even than the fiett tious characters drawn by the most imaginative and cor rect novelist. No work of fiction, for instance, can l-e compared with the Memoirs of Sully, which are only comprehensive biography of Henry the Fourth of France. Rausseau's Confessions, too, which, it is admitted gene rally,.describe his habits and deeds with great truih and accuracy, are infinitely more •interesting than Tom. Jones or Humphrey Clinker ; and though Robinson Crusoe may appear an exception, it is not so in reality', for many of the circumstances related in that captivat ing production are believed to have been founded on real events. We have been led to these remarks by a very able and beautiful life, which appears in this Re • view, of one of the many distinglashed persons who sprung up in France during the first Revolution, namely, the Baron Fourier. The writer has drawn many of the materials from a memoir of that eminent mathematician read by M. Arago, before the French In stitute ; but he haagreatly improved on the original, and interwoven fresh details into the biography, both respect ing his habits and discoveries, which show that it must have been rather a work of love than of labour, and that from sympathy in the same pursuits, and perhaps also. in his misfortunes or disappointments, he was one of the fittest men of the day to do justice to his character. The life of Fourier was of a most varied character. Ile was educated fur the Church, and officiated for some time as a priest in a provincial town ; he afterwards be came Professor of Mathematics in the Military College of Auxerre ; was elected a camber of the Convention ; ''n' ol4, l 2- anied Berfal*rtwitriais-ratvatiantiztpeditien..aporea—a— i t ii h r e m s e e d r t a h r e at de e i t tr a isil ,tise d B, ist of ies .th of e a g t7i t • cett angircom was appointed ;fell p in re to fe e c t work on • Egypt ; i t s o g f ra r e e on of th t e he re d t e u p ri a i r o tm f departments B un ou de i f Napileon bons ; came t Paris, and was on the point of being re duced to the necessity of earning his bread by privates teaching. The country, however, was saved from that disgrace, for the courtiers of Louis XVIIL were sens ibl e of ies merits. Laplace and Cuvier exerted themselves in his behalf, and he obtained a competence for the rest of his life. A curious circumstance is related respecting the preface which he drew up for the work on Egypt, and there can be no doubt of its truth, for it is quite in keeping with Bonaparte's character, and is supported by the best authority. The proof sheets were sent to the Emperor for his inspection, and when returned to Fou rier they were found covered with marginal notes, and the additions which these rendered necessary amounted to nearly a third of the preface. All the proper names were expunged except those of three generals-in-chief—Bonaparte, Weber. and Desaix, and in almost every page were dis played those miserable feelings of jealousy which robbed Kellerman ,f the honours and glory due to him for his services at Marengo, and which would have done the same injustice to Desaix, had he survived the bat tle. Bonaparte even heeitated for some time before he • would allow the word " illustrious," applied to Kleber, to remain in the text. Independent, however, of the events connected with the life of Fourier, there are many allusions to other subjects of a gratifying character, and some just remarks on the state of education in this country. This Review is generally understood to be conducted by writers connected with the Free Church of Scotland, who, in some respects are not very charitable to other sects. Here, however, we find many generous exceptions, and we quote with pleasure one remark, complimentary to Sir Robert Peel and honourable to the writer. It relates to the Irish Colleges Bill, and such liberal sentiments expressed by a member of the Free Church, a Church so remarkable for its regard to re • ligious and godly education, may well make men like Sir Robert Inglis and Mr. O'Connell blush for their sectarian bigotry:— " Whore arc our National Universities -regvlated by Par liamentary statute—strong in the unity of their doctrine and their discipline—conferring their literary honours upon the men that merit them—inviting to their chairs of office the genius and learning of the age, and seeking no other test but that of fearing God, and honouring the King? Alas! where are they to be found? Not surtly in the two noble institu tions which stand in hoary antiquity and unreformed gran deur on the Cam and the Isis—mighty in intellectual power and glorious memories—yet rejoicing in ancient and exclu- . sive privilege, and politely shutting their portals against every class but their own :—Not in the Colleges of the me tropolis, chartered by the State, yet depending on the casual bounty of private munificence :—Not in the University of Dublin, admitting to its (dices and its rich Fellowships but a small portion of the nation: Certainly not in the Universi ties of Scotland—overborne in the metropolis by the incubus of municipal control ;—degraded in the provinces by internal abuse, and ecclesiastical domination; and impoverished everywhere by self-plunder, or national parsimony. We du recognise them, however, if not in the maturity of their fruit, at least in the freshness of their germ, in the Irish Colleges, these light-towers of knowledge which a wise Go vernment has erected in a dark land; and which, we trust, will he the harbingers of a grand intellectual reform, con , ferring the noblest of all political rights—the franchise of a liberal and religious education upon every subject of the British empire." The following curious anachronism occurs in the brief remarks of the writer on Arago's observations contrasting the ancient professors of France with their successors under the convention. " We trust our readers will excuse us for quoting a few lines, in which more than ten years ago we recommended the general policy pursued by the present Government, and which we trust they will carry out to its full and legitiumate ex tent." This is the eighth number of the Review, conse quently it has been in existence for two years in place of ten. We believe the extract however may be found in some of Sir David Brewster's writings. The life of an other great man is reviewed under the head of "Letters and Speeches of Oliver Cromwell," by Thomas Carlyle. Full justice is done to his character, though the Presby terian party in England owed their downfal entirely to his policy and prejudices. "It matters little to his country men," says the writer, " whether his memory be honoured by monumental marble, or even that the poet's promise, that 'his ashes in a peaceful urn shall rest,' should have re mained unfulfilled. The record of his fame is engraven in our history, and all our subsequent glory does it involuntary homage. The annals of legitimate monarchy show few will, so well deserved to be remembered; and beside the imbecile James, the perfidy of the first, and the profligacy of the second Charles, he shines like the orb of day among the lesser fires." The analysis of Carlyle's works and style, with which the article is prefaced, though severe in some respects, is far too favourable. He may be an original and vigorous thinker ; he may think with unfettered free dom, and delineate his thoughts with boldness ; but his language is not to be endured. The style is neither German nor English ; it belongs to no idiom, and is regulated by no rules sanctioned either by good taste or propriety, or the ordinary and established custom of the age : " Quem penes arbitrium est et jus et norma loquendi:" it is a jargon, or as the reviewer says, " a frantic con gregation of words" occasionally, which often conceals . the meaning, which is abominated by every admirer, of t pure English, and ought to be shunne d by eve : the 3 o t u h student. We have not space for r emarks on and er arti c f l n m t a h i e n t n a u i n m b t h e e r , c b h u a t r a i in te r which general thisare n e e x w c e ll e n peri odicalully has justly acquired.
