Notwithstanding the great advantages which Life Assurance Companies offer to persons of a limited but fixed and permanent income of securing to their surviving relatives the fruits of their industry and economy, it will be readily conceded that they have hitherto conferred little or no benefit on the humbler classes of society. The reason of this is obvious. Men depending for daily subsistence on the labour of their he cannot calculate with certainty on a conti nued income of more than what maybe absolutely neces sary for the support of themselves and families ; and therefore they are deterred from insuring their lives, by a prudent apprehension that they may not be always able to pay up the premium. They may dispose of the policy, it is true ; but where the sum insured for is small, the policy, after twenty payments, will not bring, half its intrinsic value. Therefore for persons to in sure their lives under such circumstances—their income depending on the continuance of a precarious public employment, forfeitable in the event of ill health— would indicate presumption, not prudence. The class of society between the rich middling class and the poorer class of industrious artizans, has hitherto had no safe depositary for its savings. The savings banks were not open to it; and the Life Assurance Companies offered no eligible investment for a small and precarious annual surplus. It is, therefore, with much pleasure that we announce the formation of a Com pany to be called, or rather called " The National Loan Fund Assurance and Reversionary In terest Society," having for its especial object the se curing to that class exposed to the chances of dimi nished income, the fruits of its economy when stricken in years, or suffering from sickness, and a loss of em ployment. For this institution— which, if supported as we consider it well deserves to be, will confer tile greatest benefit upon authors, physicians, artists, clerks, and a very numerous body of tradesmen—the country is indebted to the indefatigable exertions of Mr. T. LANIIE MURRAY, who has long laboured to carry some project of this kind into operation. We copy from the Prospectus of the Company the follow ing condensed view of the principles upon which it is proposed to conduct it.—Havin g referred to the in applicability of the established Life Assurance Societies to the circumstances of persons in the imme diate enjoyment of a precarious income, uncertain as to the future, Mr. MURRAY thus developes the scheme of the New Company To remedy the defects of the present system, the application of a new principle is required, viz., to make the advantage de rivable from an unusual saving, or accumulation, contingent on two or more chances—death, or misfortune during the lifetime of the party assured. In the one case, the benefit would reach the survivor ; in the other, it would commence in favour of the , insured himself at the very point of permanent or tem porary embarrassment. By the present plan of Life Assurance the benefits arise on one contingency—th e death of the party assured ; and this, again, contingent on the regularity in the payment of the annual premium. But it has been shown that this can only be promised, or wisely undertaken, by those having a specific and certain income ; and, therefore, to include all classes, those who do, and *Nose who d o not , possess a certain income, that plan of Life Assurance would far surpass all others in utility and attraction, which would convert the annual saving or pre ni hail paid by the assured, either into a protection to him in heeverit of misfortune—the means of promoting, at all times, bit pres en t interest—or a provisi on f or hi s family- at death. t:ompared to the interest an individual takes in himself, the ?rovision for his family is secondary, notvri:hstanding the strength of the latter feeling in the human breast ; and it will be considered by every one, at least, of equal importance to protect himself against the occurrence of casualties and re verses while living, as to provide for his family at death. By the plan of this Assurance Society, it is proposed to join together these two strongest of human motives, and by this means to give the most powerful encouragement to lay up a provision for the future. It is therefore proposed that the fund arising out of the premiums paid by the assured, will be made capable of fulfilling two or more ob jects :---first, the payment of the contract on the policy ;_ secondly, a loaa-fund, out of which the assured will be en titled, under certain guarantees, to borrow equal to two thirds of hit payments ;—thirdly, in the event of inablity to continue his payments, such other equitable disposition of his interest in his policy will be allowed him as he may choose. By this means his apprehension of great pe cuniary loss, in the event of non-payment of premium, will be removed—a vast class of society will thereby be admitted; and every individual, while steadily pursuing one object —a irovisi on f or hi s f am i ly at death—a/ill have, by - the plan of this Society, a door open to his savings, which will never be closed against his wants or his use. These views are just, enlightened, and benevolent, and the proposed measure for carrying them into effect is worthy of universal encouragement. It combines all the advantages of a Savings Bank and a Life Assur ance. Company, and is just such an institution as is most wanted in a commercial nation, where men of business are constantly exposed to sudden and unfore- 259% seen reverses of fortune. We trust it will meet with general approbation. In the Morning rod of this day we find the fol lowing statement :—" We some time ago infonia c d Our readers that a discussion was in psogeSs, upon the subject of an establishment rot- the Princess VreTotti A and that the final edjiistment had been ietaided by a difference of opinion as tb the nntltbniy by which the superior officers of 014 tiGnseliold of the Heiress „--re sumptive ought, „ r yes, . nS tlase sine ° was com.rroesinleci ks to be an--::,‘tski, i t in the frilly 'patriotic and parentel desire to remove t.'s - tty difficulty, had liiis 4 „,p'Osed to appropriate to the establishment 'a her Royal Highness 10,000 L year from Ms own privy purse, krepin o e , the appointment s in question under his OWn personal eohtroo.l; but we withheld this announcement in the hope that it would Ilak't been in our power tO accompany it by the ea.. tirving statement that the offer of this ,'_iatritice on the part of the KING had been sitetessrul in the attainment of its object. We ftgret to say that our expecta tion has not been realised. Up to a very recent period the discussion still continued t and we un derstand that the Princess IrWtiattlA, since her Royal Highness's birthday > has taken some personal share in it. We are informed, and believe, that several letters upon the subject have passed he= tweert the SOVEREIGN and his illustrious niece." We believe the Morning Post enjoys the confidence of the party to which it is attached, and, therefore, though we arc not prepared to corroborate the above statement, we should not feel ourselves justified in de nying it. We shall therefore assume on the credit of our Contemporary, that what it has thought proper to communicate to the public on this delicate subject is true. We ask, then, what is it that calls for the personal interference of the KING, in the appointment of the Officers of the Princess's Household ? If it is proper that the Heiress Presumptive should have a separate establishment, it surely is not because she stands in a new relation to the SOVEREIGN (which she does not), but because she has entered upon a new relation to the country. It is therefore impossible that the nation should allow the burden of supporting the Princess to fall upon the KING'S private resources. The expense of keeping up the rank and station of the Heiress Presumptive, if any such expellee is to be incurred, must, it is suffi ciently evident, be defrayed out of the national funds ; and we are quite sure that whenever the demand shall be made, the people will not grudge to the Princess VICTORIA a maintenance befitting her position in the State. As to any personal control, on the part of his MAJESTY over the Princess, it is no less evident that such control can only relate to private matt ers , and cannot p oss ibly e xt en d to those things in which her Royal Highness Is concerned in her public capacity as Heiress Presumptive to the Throne. In that ca pacity she is entirely exempted from all personal eontroul, and acknowledges no restrictions but such as the Constitution imposes through itsofficial organs, the advisers of the Crown. We come, therefore, to this point, that the Princess must either remain as she is, in stain pupillari ; or if she assumes a public place in the State, her Royal Highness must be independent of all personal controul. It must, we think, strike every reflecting person as singularly inconsistent that the person who is capable of entering upon the duties of Royalty, and of choosing, of course, the Ministers in whose hands the destinies of the nation are placed, should be considered incapable of exercising any voice in the appointment of the officers of her own personal household. We do not say that her Royal Highness is to act without advice in such a case ; what we contend for is, that the advisers of the Crown, not the relatives of the Princess, are the con stitutional advisers of the Heiress Presumptive. The whole of this matter is founded in faction. The Tories have long been grieved that they have not had the moulding of the Princess VICTORIA'S cha racter. 'What they wanted was to have instilled into her mind the narrow, exclusive, and tyrannical prin ciples of GEORGE 111. and his successor. Their fu ture QUEEN, they hoped, was to be the Sovereign of a sect, the ruler of a small portion of the nation. In this they have been disappointed, and hence the brutal attacks to which the Duchess of KENT, that most exemplary of mothers, has been subjected from the more unprin cipled organs of Toryism, for having instilled into the mind of the future occupant of the British throne, principles more constitutional, more in unison with the spirit of the age, and therefore better adapted to the government of a free and enlightened people. To surround the Princess with their own creatures who might exercise a counteracting influence on her mind, and undo as much as possible the good that has been already done is now the object of this faction ; and they have with their usual unscruplousness, by means of that back-stair influence which has unfortunately always been in their hands, attempted to drag the highest per sonage in the realm into unconscious participation in this scheme. Such baseness is without example. The whole of the Paris Papers of Friday and Sa turday have been received. The Moniteur of Satur day contains the following telegraphic despatches :- 13ATONNE, JUNE 1, HALF-PAST 7, P.m.--Don Carlos en tered Barbastro on the evening of the 27th, and his army in the morning of the next day. On the 29th Oraa left Sara gossa to take the command of the Christino army. Baron de Meer has advanced to Fraga to cover the Ebro." " Naafi()NNE, JUNE 2, FIVE, A. the 28th Baron de Meer left Lerida, marching into Arragon. It was not known on the 30th at La Seu d'Urgel where Don Carlos was. Or - gagna ha% ing been evacuated, was occupied on the 29th by the rebels. Rogo had his head -quarters on the 31st at Prullens ; the Carlists pretend that they remain in these parts only be. cause their movements are connected with those of the army of Don Sebastian. The Carlist Junta was at Sulsona, on the 25th." " BORDEAUX, JUNE 2, HALF-PAST 6, P m.—The Carlists were still at Barbastro on the evening of the 28th, and the Christinos, under the orders of Buerens, at two leagues from that town. Oraa, who left Sarragossa to take the command, had with him one battalion and 300 cavalry." The following communication was received by the Government after the publication of the Moniteur:— " PERPIGNAN, JUNE 2.—Twenty persons, who were ar rested on the 23d of May, have been shipped off from Barce lona for the Balearic Islands ; amongst them was the refugee Bonelli. New plots and depots of arms have been discovered, and arrests have taken place. " The Brigadier Cardo is organising at Asparagucra a corps of reserve. " Baron de Moor has declared Cervera to be in a state of siege in consequence of the violence of certain parties. Be fore starting for the province of Arragon, Baron de Meer had collected 7,000 men." There is little else of any moment in these journals. The King of the FRENCH and the Royal Family were to leave Fontainbleau for Paris on Sunday (yesterday). The following extracts include all that is interesting in them : The payment promised by the Spanish Government to its creditors had not been made on the Ist inst., as promised. In lieu of payment, Count Campuzano (the Ambassador of Spain at Paris) issued the following notice to the holders of Spanish bonds : " The Spanish Government, in spite of all its efforts, and by a concurrence of circumstances which are of public noto riety, is as yet unable to obtain all the necessary funds for the payment of the dividend of the month of November last, which should have taken place on the Ist of June. It hopes, never theless, to be able, after a short delay, to announce the pay ment. A fresh notice will fix the day. " CAPUZANO DE RECHEN." The Marqui s d e Latour M Maubourg (Freerh Ambassador at Rome) died in that city on the 23d ult. The reception of the guests at Fontainbleau was conducted with extreme formalities, and the most rigid court etiquette. To such an extent was this rage for ceremony carried, that when M. Laffitte presented himself with the coat he wore on the ith of August, the day on which, as President of the Chamber, he proclaimed Louis Philippe King of the French, and received his oath to the charter of 1830, he was rudely pushed back by the Grand Master of the Palace, who ap peared quite indignant at M. Laffitte's daring to present him self in an unembroidered garment ! The Hon. Deputy re monstrated, and appealing from the rigour of the courtier to the good nature of the master, the citizen coat of M. Laffitte was " amnestied," and the gilded doors turned upon their hinges, to admit the old Premier of Louis Philippe.—. Gazette de France. No less than 53 bankruptcies were declared at the Paris Registry Office during the month just expired. They were divided into the following categories :—Five merchants, five tailors, five " novelty manufacturers," three booksellers, three cabinet-makers, three jewellers, two wine -merchants, two up holsterers, two marble-sculptors, one wood-merchant, one skinner, one pastry-cook, one basket-maker, one snuff-box maker, one tact er, one founder, one old clothesman, one builder, one locoman and bonnet manufacturer, one turner, one dyer, one innkeeper, one milkman, one wool-merchant, one toy-merchant, one hatter, one stock-broker, one cheese merchant. merchant, one clockmakcr, one grocer, one agent, one riband In the month of January last the number of failures amount ed to 37 ; in February, 38 ; March, 61 ; April, 40 ; May, ; total since the Ist of January, 229 ; without including thM tiblises Which have stopped payment and left off business without the intervention of the Law cottits: A letter from the frontier of this 24th of May says i—" fin the 25th, at Rye in the attcfnoon, General hureguy with the tOivards ,, Hernani to act against Tolosa ; by 'Order of General Lariatc t giu I . o,baliont.wl.iin!t i r:a 4 Binteiteban, is, Levteti..

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Last week's arrivals of Wheat, Oats, and Flour were good, but moderate of other articles. The trade remained without change from Monday last. This morning there has been a small fresh supply of all descriptions of Corn, but as the wea ther is now favourable, the buyers do not purchase freely. The Millers being in wart of fine Wheat, they took off readily all the best samples at one shilling to two shillings per quar ter advance on the terms of this day se'nnight : other qualities are not improved in value. Barley maintains last quotations with firmness. Beans are rather dearer, but the demand is scanty. Pease of both kinds are unaltered. The factors demanded higher prices for Oats, but the buyers hesitated to comply, and the sales that were made did not ex ceed last week's terms. The advance in Wheat has enabled the millers to establish the top price of Flour at 525.,, and other qualities arc more firm to-day. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

Tits HAGUE, MAY 30..—His Royal Highness, the Prince of Orange arrived here thir morning from Tilburg. His Excellency, the Minister of the Interior has given notice that the law containing "general enactments of the Legisla tion of the kingdom," and also the civilcode, are now completely printed, and will be ready for delivery on the Ist of June at M. A. J. Van Weilden's, bookseller here, and that by that time both he and his correspondents in the principal towns in the kingdom will have a sufficient number of copies. THE HAGUE MAY 31.—Major General Van Trip has been honourably discharged from the post of Master General of the Ordnance, and definitely pieced at the head of the War De partment, which post he has hitherto held ad interim. CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 13.—Lord Ponsonby remains at his post, against the will of the Porte, which as we now learn has complained of him. He is highly incensed at the Reis Effendi, and does not conceal his dislike. Mr. Urquhart seems to have done his utmost to excite differences between Lord Ponsonby and the Divan. He has taken a heavy responsibility on him self in endeavouring to depreciate in the eyes of foreigners the representative of his nation. Lord Ponsonby has sent an express to London, to declare how desirable it would be to send another person in his room, though he thinks that he owes it to himself and to his Government to remain some time longer at Constantinople. He has -at the same time sent a list of complaints against Mr. Urquhart, to which the latter will probably have to reply. The Porte is now endea vouring to pacify Lord Ponsonby, but his Lordship does not seem at all inclined to show confidence where he has met with none, and his frank character repels the idea of owing to fear an approximation which would otherwise have been refused. The removal of Mr. Urquhart will become of more importance when he has returned to London, and the English Journals take part either for or against him. The Porte fears this movement, because it attaches great impor tance to the press, and in diplomatic matters attributes to it greater influence than it really possesses. Lord Ponsonby has written to Sir Charles Vaughan at Malta, begging him not to be vexed at having made his voyage so mat apropos, and not to be angry with him on that account ; for his Lordship had not learnt that Sir Charles was to come to Constantinople till he had arrived at Malta, otherwise his Lordship would cer tainly have lost so time in advising him not to leave London till Mr. Urquhart should have arrived there. He would cer tainly now consider it as his duty to do everything in his power that Sir Charles might be indemnified by another post. Lord Ponsonby has already began to exert himself for this purpose. BRUSSELS, JUNE 3.—A fisherman returning from the cod fishery off Feroe has brought alive to Ostend an enormous thornback (ray).

Extract of a letter, dated Jan. 24, 1837 :—" I have to acquaint you of the loss of the Victory near Manilla, which in a severe gale from the 6th to the 11th when in Manilla Bay, took fire from the heat of the pepper and cotton. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A Liverpool Paper, received this morning, says, " We copy the following from the New York Herald, received by the last packet :—" In the space of two short months about one thousand merchants and traders have broken to pieces, for an amount of about three hundred millions of dollars—the shock to public confidence is so great, that a general panic prevails, and a general run mado upon the Banks throughout the whole Union." Some sensation was experienced at Li verpool on the receipt of the news that the Bank of England had declined to render any further assistance to the Ameri can houses. We are happy to state that the failure of the three great American houses, which took place on Friday last, is ex pected not to be of so disastrous a nature as was at first anti cipated. One of them, Mr. Timothy Wiggin and Co., we are assured, will be able to exhibit assets to the amount of from two to three hundred thousand pounds, beyond their liabilities. On Saturday last there were several failures, but not to the extent that was generally reported ; among them was the old and respectable firm of Bell and Grant, and that of Gowan and Marx. They were connected with the American trade. It is supposed that their liabilities are to a great extent. THE FUNDS. Consols, which closed on Saturday at 90 for the Ac count, opened this morning at 90 Exchequer Bills, 33 35 ; India Bonds, 33 ; Bank Stock 203} ; India, ditto, 2581 to 259. _ _ In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active closed at 21i j-- opened at 22 22 I; Passive 5 ;!Deferred 8i eortuguese 43. The private letters received from Liverpool this morning are more favourable than was anticipated, and there is every appearance that we shall have a quieter day in the city than was expected. HALF-PAST ONE. With all the failures that occurred on Saturday, and the unfavourable state of commercial affairs, Consols continue buoyant, having improved since the morning from 904 to 91 for the opening, at whieh price they are at present, caused, no doubt, by a scarcity of stock in the market. We have seen letters this morning from Liverpool, stating that although the failures of the houses of Wilson and Wiggin were known there, it produced little or no effect on the mar ket, and 3,000 bags of cotton were sold at the same rates. We are happy to state that all is tranquil in the City in re spect to commercial affairs to the present honr. We hear of only one failure, and that is of little import. We do not hear of any further arrivals from Paris or Spain. Accounts from Bordeaux state that Cabrera was at Calanda with 4,000 men, waiting to join the Carlist expedition, but to prevent the junction Buerens, left at,Saragossa sufficient troops to defend that town, as well as to attack the enemy on the Ebro.

Vol. XV, Part I. Black, Edinburgh, 1837. We cannot venture to offer anything like a decided opinion on the numerous essays on scientific and me chanical matters contained in the Part before us, being but imperfectly acquainted with such themes ; but we may say of the biographical and critical sketches, that they are all written with care and skill ; and that the Memoir of the late James Mill, the author of the well-known history of British India, evinces analytical subtlety of a superior order. The character of the historian's intellect is thus lucidly and minutely described " If we were called on to state what, beyond all others, was the distinguishing characteristic of Mr. Mill's mind, we should answer, his power of generalization. To have this power in a high degree, three qualities of mind, each of them rarely to be met with in a high degree separately, still more rarely to gether, are requisite—the observing faculty, the analytical faculty, aid the ratiocinative faculty. Thus in Aristotle the observing and ratiocinative powers, and in Bentham the ratio cinative, existed in considerable force, whilst the former had but little, and the latter, still less of the analytical. They made enumerations and catalogues with wonderful minuteness, which, however, for want of analysis, were often inaccurate or imperfect ; rendering, moreover, the question treated un necessarily complicated, in proportion to that imperfection. The very complication in which a patient but unanalytical mind is sure to involve any large subject, frequently obtains for such men the character of possessing and displaying a vast know ledge of and command over details, when in truth the display and enumerat'on of endless details arises from their inability to penetrate into the heart of their subject—to take it to pieces, and then separate from it what is extrinsic, bringing out the real core of the question into naked and broad light. He who can do this, will generalize accurately. But to do this is given to few ; whilst, on the other hand, to generalize inac curately, requires neither labour in collecting facts, nor pe netration in analizing them, nor logic in treating the results of the analysis ; and is unfortunately one of the commonest of the qualities that belong to men. And as the mass of man kind seldom give themselves the trouble to seize distinctions, they are in the habit of applying to generalization, in the true sense of the word, and as Mr. Mill possessed it, the censure deserved only by such slovenly generalizations as those which commonly pass under the name. Of the three faculties ne cessary for correct generalization, Mr. Mill had the observing faculty in a smaller proportion than the other two; but it would be difficult to name any writer who possessed a larger share of all the three together." The biography of Milton is penned in a manly spirit of impartiality, and the criticisms with which it is interspersed are just, if not very refined or ele vated in their tone. Of modern times, the two best critics on Milton are, beyond all comparison, Macauley, and Dr. Charming of Boston. Both show equal dis crimination and love of their subject ; but the Edin burgh Reviewer is the most vigorous, and the Ameri can Unitarian the most elegant, critic of the two. We prefer their comments on our great Epic Poet, even to those of Addison and Johnson, both of whom tasked all their powers to do justice to the subject, though we are well aware that the latter has been accused, and most wrongfully, in our opinion, of having allowed his High Church prejudices to sway his criticisms on Pa radise Lost. The Author of the present Critical Me moir says, " Milton took his stand between the ma terial and immaterial system, on the confines of the sensible and the spiritual, leaving the whole ambigu ous and undefined." This is a sound, discriminating observation. Milton's fiends do, indeed, hit the happy medium between humanity and metaphysical abstrac tion, which is the reason why the " superior fiend" takes such an imperishable hold on our imagination. We understand just enough of his nature. Had we been permitted to know more of it, or become more fa miliar with his person and attributes, we should have lost much of that mysterious awe with which we now regard him. In the Memoir of " Mirabeau," the biographer is, we think, too favourable in his summing up of character. The great leader of the Revolution was by no means a man of extraordinary intellectual powers. He had sagacity, boldness, and a certain showy rhetorical eloquence ; but nothing more. As for pure patriotism, he knew nothing of it. Selfish motives swayed all his public actions, as was to be ex pected from one who lived a Libertine, and died an Atheist. In closing our cursory notice of this Part, we should not omit to state, that the plates, which are numerous, are executed with considerable ability. On Friday night last, as one of the workmen em ployed in clearing the ruins of the late fire in Holywell-street was removing some of the rubbish, he fell - down on the ground, as was supposed at the time in a fit. Some of his companions instantly lifted him up, and, by the recommendation of a me dical gentleman near the spot, was conveyed to the shop of Mr. Dunn, a surgeon, in Clement's-lane, who ordered his speedy removal to the workhouse, after he and his assistant had paid every attention to his case. The men then conveyed him thither; but as soon as he entered ho expired. On an examination of the body it appears that death was occasioned by the bursting of abloodvessel. MURDER:-Wednesday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a tobacco-spinner, of the name of William Perry, went home to dinner at his house in Barclay-street, Paisley. In a few minutes afterwards one of the neighbours was alarmed by the cry of " Murder," and noises as of persons engaged in a scuffle. The neighbours having forced open the door of Perry's House, the wife of the latter rushed out screaming, and staggering into her nei g hb our ' s h ouse , d roppe d down and instantly expired. On inspecting the body of the deceased, it was discovered that five wounds had been inflicted, one a which was in the heart, apparently caused by a sharp imple ment used in tobacco spinning. Perry and his wife were married in August last, and the cause which incited him to the perpetration of the dreadful act is ascribed to jealousy. The murderer is in custody.—Edinburgh Courant. In deprecating the interference With freedom of elec- tion, which it seems has now become an every day occurrence in our boroughs, the Somerset County Gazette states, that Mr. Holmes, and Mr. Croucher, the agents of the Carlton Corruptionists' Club, emboldened by success, now appear openly. "At Bridgewater," says our contemporary, "we saw them." These unconstitutional and most pernicious prac tices afford another argument in favour of voting by ballot. Until the people be protected in the exercise of their electoral rights, it were idle to look for the advantages of good govern ment. ----- We are concerned to state that an extensive mercan tile house in Glasgow suspended payment on Friday, with which a considerable number of Paisley manufacturers are involved. The sum the house in question is indebted to manufacturing houses here is stated to exceed 20,0001., and is by far the heaviest blow that has yet been felt in Paisley-- Paisley Advertiser. The late Joe Grimaldi was probably the best pan tomimic clown that ever appeared on the stage.
