NITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, No. 8, Waterloo-p!ace, Pali-mall, London, The attention of Equitable Policy Holders is particularly called to the RALF 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 pfeserit 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 premiums on credit. Should the life insured survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon , or, in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up by commencing to pay the full 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 added to them on the Neale of the following table; — Sum Assured.

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 THURSDAY, the 9th of July, at Twelve o'clock, at the Auction Mart, London, In iota 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 thereason why a paper so deservedly high in the public estimation (and never at any period in a prouder position than at this juncture) should be in the market. It is not a little refreshing to Mr. Robins to be called upon for this explanation. - THE Pi,INCIPAL PROPRIETOR, WHO IT IS KNOWN /1151 A VERY PRIF,PON HERA TING SHARE ,tr-'''"140111W, " LIrTLE MINE OF WEALTH," and has presided over its destines fur many years, at length bas 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 him especially to have claimed, through good and bad report, the title' to consistency; indeed he 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 CHARACTER AND CONSISTENCY IS THE MOTTO CLAIMED ESPECIALLY BY THE " GLOBE." If it be asked what has been the result, it will cheer and gladden the 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 estl ..ation than at the present moment. The next (and with a pur cha‘er an importan query) 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 fullest sati-faction on that and indeed every other point. The statement of 'prod s during the last ten years :; before the writer of this announcement, from which he collects the fact, that the Shares HAVE NEVER ARRIVED AT SO HIGH A VALUE AS AT THE PRESF NT MOMENT. The annual receipts and profits will be given in detail in the printed Par ticulars of th e Sale, which will prove this most satisfactorily. A criterion of its increasing prospeetty may be gathered from the fact, that, in 1844, the present Propriffor of so large 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 INFLUENTIAL AND HOW VALUABLE must be the eof one who could poss.•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. Diuch more might and ought to be re ported in favour of this " FONDLING OF TAR 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 " GLOB E " CHANGES HANDS. The Particulars will be ready twenty-one days prior to the Sale; then to be had at the Auction Mart, the office of the " Globe," and at 111 r. Ceane Robins's offices, London.

TEE PRESENT LOW RENTAL ARISING FROM THIS FINE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE VALUE OF THE ABBEY AND LANDS IN HAND, END N LEASE FOR LIVES, IS ABOUT 2,0001. A YEAR. IT IS NEARLY ALL TITHE-FREE, AND THE TENANTRY BOTH WEALTHY AND RESPECTABLE. AN IMPERATIVE SALE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS fe e l s muc h gratitica- R. in having ben preferred to OFFER for PUBLIC COM PETITION, at the Aucteion Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 9th .0e July, at Twelve o'clock, and in One Lot, by direction of the tr,,s tees for absolute sale, one of THE MOST MAGNIFICENT FREEHOLD INVESTMENTS THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. Ana. in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins, without the slightest a ff ectat i on, proclaims that he ap proaches th.• task with tear and trembling. The only saving clause by which he can well seek to soften the reproaches of an enlightened and deeply-read community is alone to be found in the liberty the com poser will take with authors so highly &load, that ha must inciced he a bold man who will not. yield assent to his rt-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. It Is a splendidly grand and unique building, altogether realising Lord Byron's glowing description of Norman Abbey— An old, old monastery once, and now Still older mansion, of a rich and rare Mia'd Gothic, such as artists all allow Few specimens yet left us can compare. Its classic front EXTENDS TO NEAR THREE HUNDRED FEET. The order of architecture is in the Tudor style, and may he dated fC,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, and even much wiser heads would be puzzled In the attempt to do it justice—it is 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 be iound throughout the comitry. The first impression on beholding this ANCIENT AND CLASSIC PILE the writer feels can never he obliterated - fromhis memory; his mind on the instant seemed to be subdued into a mast 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 be awarded to it. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a condo %ion ; the form prescribed to the length of an 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 assistance of a very highly talented lade, to aid the historical account of Dugdale by ,elections of her own, and guided by a judgment and cleverness that has never been held in doubt. To gratify the learned and the curious in distant parts, Mr. Robins has determined to append to the explanatory par ticulars 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 18. It is on the borders of the three fine counties of Dorset, Devon, and Somerset, 15 miles from Taunton, 3 from Chard, about 50 miles nom Bristol nod Bath, and within a deligh ful ride of -6% hours front London, which the approaching railway through Chard will reduce to about 4 hours, and also bring it within fifty ru mites' ride of Ex, ter. The county in which the Abbey is paced will not yield to any other. The reader needs not be remind• d that, lu days of yore, the taste of the monks In the selection of their lands was never questiored, and, amidst all the good things of this world, they were remarkable for the accuracy of their judgment. In selecting the best of everythi❑g, even THE FAT OF THE LARD Was not ACCOUNTED TOO GOOD FOR THEIR REFINED 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 fine flavour, while the soft unt.'ulating foliage of its magnificent and TIME-HONOURED TREES is perpetufdly deluding the eye into a belief that it was of almost boundless extent, and imparting 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 d!d take In currents through the calmer waters spread. THE RIVER AXE _ _ so renosin.d by the disciples of Isaak Walton for its piseatory pleasures and delicious trout, winds, in serpentine beauty, through the fair 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 all be asked, " W HAT MORE CA N 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 the WONDER AND ADMIRATION OF THE WORLD. It fearlessly challenges a rival; and the writer is ex ceedingly desirous that the reader should not for one 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 elle 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 Grainge Farm (the principal 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, and without one guinea of arrear; indeed, the latter word could not find a place In their vocabulay. The rent is exceed ingly low. The d emesne extends to nearly MEADOW HUNDRED EA ANDSO O R G IC D H L 4NDq MOSTLY TITHE-FREE, AND ' W ' ', TAXES MODERATE. .

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 Willenhall. The soil is of first-rate quality, as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick yards verify. Every Farm possesses a superior dwelling, 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 TENANTRY THAT MR. ROBINS PROCLAIMS WK,A,E,EXcELLED TI,IROV*O-1131WENGLANDir -HEAR IT ALL Yl , l OF LITTLE FAITH IN THE STAPLE COMMODITY OF THE COUNTRY, " THERE IS NOT NOR HAS THERE BEEN AN ARREAR OF ONE GUINEA DURING THE LAST TEN YEARS." It may now he asked, "Where is to be found a corresponding case?" AND ECHO REJOINS " WHERE." In respect to the auxiliaries not immediately sought in the shape of income, it should be said THE ADJOINING MANORS ARE STRICTLY PRESERVED BY LORDS CRAVEN AND HOOD, as also 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 anriseicent to those inclined to recreate in fishing. THE ELIZABETHAN VILLA is altogether adapted to a gentleman's occupation. It probably might be improve* by a fi n i s hi ng 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 occasionally during 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 1,5504 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 prow, 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. wheat farms are very productive in the sell Mr 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 contiguity 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 soil, are ad vantages that a good agriculturist will not overlook. And now, by way of conclusion, Mr. Robins will ask, and with earnestness (taking into the scale the great curiosity that prevails everywhere to get into good farms now-a•dsys), it the every day observation, resound ing now from a'l quarters, that THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN MORE • FRIGHTENED 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.

IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND RECHERCHE PART OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE, NEARLY MIDWAY BETWEEN CLIF TO g AND THE SEVERN, 0 NIE OF THE MOST PERFECT VILLAS WITH ITS APPURTENANCES IN ENGLAND; AROUND IT AXE ITS P LEASURE-GROUNDS, A DEMESNE EXTENDING TO 50 ACRES, ALL FREEHOLD AND LAND TAX REDEEMED. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has pleasure in stating he bas 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. 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 iivei, severn and .the passage_ inta_likameuthtibire. A desteauotion of this 'villa dNtre - m - aTaatter of necessity, but the writer feels that his representation must necessarily be very Incomplete, inasmuch, as although it wilt be conceded that there are to be found a little host of elegant abodes in progressing through the ron.antic drive of four miles. 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 be justly termed TRANSCENDENTLY BEATA IFUL SCENERY. It would almost wear the patience of the reader to extend the descrip tion of all the writer saw, and strived to appr. elate, hut it is believed a very few gleanings will suffice to call up the attention of all such as would enjoy the pure, unsophisticated 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, ;int the luxuriant shrubberies and plantations th a t enc i rc l e i t, keep the cold wind sat 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 AVON is immediately in view, and the perpetual moving scenery in the dis tance must be seen If the reader desires to appreciate it, for it is quite certain this imperfect account will leave an immeasurable host of ob jects entirely disregarded. Here rising boughs, 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 —frotm Clifton is cull of variety, and on arriving at the Severn 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 ; hut 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 furiiish. 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-fellbwship, 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 PIERFIELD is only a shOrt drive, and llarnsville-p SE ark, a minor candidate for fame, is not far off, the verdant scenery 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 PASAETFI SHOW." It is a building of 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 be 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 coach houses all that ingenuity can suggest. The kitchen-gardens are very extensive, inclosed by lofty brick walls, and the soil is exceedinglyprollfic ; the fruit is considered unusually high flavoured. THE HOT AND SUCCESSION•HOUSES are quite perfect, and the produce is beyond praise. There is isesides A BEAUTIFUL FRENCH GARDEN, in excellent taste, and shedding its peauteous 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 clofe at hand, and Bristol and Clifton pour In their auxiliaries daily. TIIE 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 the proprietor 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 Mb. 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 Itlaize, and the ruins of Mr. Cave's and Ragland Castle ; indeed There is nothing left to fancy's guess, You see that an 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 be 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.

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 Douse 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 Sesnional 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. Shareholders who are unable to be present are requested to lodge who will give a receipt their Scrip with any of the following parties, for the Mlle, 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 Clyde dale 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 e lo i cal traffic will be considerable, but the Directors do not look on ae th mu nt ch Im mediate formation of these works as equally pressing, Inasmuch as the traffic cannot be completely developed until after iwa the com pletion of the Edinburgh branch of the Caledonian Ra w l prin .. !neon- Under these circumstances it will not be necessary veniently on the shareholders by early or frequent A question will come before the meetingas to the propriety of inserting a clause in the Bill, authorising the Directors to allow in te4.est on the amount °I. ea ? ye the date of paYment.

His Royal Highness opened the busi nese by observing, that he had 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 three years, upwards of 900 cases had been considered by the ladles' corn. mittee, and nearly 20,000/. was invested for the benefit of those whe 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 honorary secre tary, the Rev. David Laing, stated that during the past year twelve donations, of the amount of See and up fwards, had been received; nearly 300 cases had _come be ore the ladies' o---..-- - - - •- -- ---- "' '''' v "' —ee.......e. awl pecuniary grants to the amount of 4511. had been made to itte. An annuity had been foundtd, through the benevolent suggeStlen of the Bishop of Durham, who offered to give 501. towards the said object, if nine others would do the same, thus making alto gether eight permanent annuities. Towards the provident fund the amount received and invested now reaches 20,1001, An Act of Incor poration would be applied for during the present session of Parlia ment, to enable the society to hold freehold property, and ilium to carry out flatly Its design. The report added that his Royal Inghneee Prince -Albert had become a patron of the institution. According to the financial statement the total receipts towards the provident fund amounted to 11,6,21. 3s. 10d., and deducting the expenditure, a balance of 9601 . 10 s. remained. After addresses from Lord Ingestrie and Mr. Bond Cabbe l l'the report was agreed to. A vote of thanks was passed to his Royal Highness, who, having acknoirledged the compliment, the meeting dissolved. An election of annuitants next took place, when out of 65 candidates three were chosen. "MY SHIP Is hfY WlFR."—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 oppOldte 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 ef seizing the only means of escape, our hero of the boat-bottom began to parley, somewhat as follows : "Hilloa," said the Captain, " dont you want to come a'board?" " 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 that line we will haul you a'board." "No ye don't. It I could only get this boat righted, that's all I'cl care for." So throwing back the line indignantly, the boatman squatted himself quietly upon his precarious perch and awaited another tarn of the wheel 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 wag 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 boat, but as passengers /ton 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.—,il etn York Harper. BLACR AND WHITE TWINS. —Dr. Cunningham re cords, in the Philadelphia Examiner, the case of a negress, who WU delivered of twins, on e black and the other 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 se, that four-fifths of those who examined them were of opinion that the negress was not the mother of both, but that some deception wag being played ; the mother persisted and still delares them to be her own. Dr. Cunningham remarks on this singular fact, that a bl t a t t an wom may give birth, at one ti me, to a black child and a erea but the occurrence is ex t remely rare. A case like that under notice, he considered to be a phenomenon as inexplicable as it,!:N, K.C.H. interesting. DEATH OF CAPT AIN Taos.

Critteuden's resolution ham passed the Senate by 'a vote of 40 to 1 4 --all the 54 deg.men voting in the negative. This resolutien, as amended and passed, advises the President to settle the Oregon question amicably, and also authorises him to give the year's notice at hie own clisertion The intelligence was received here yesterday, by the magnetic tele-. graph, about twelve o'clock, and it was immediately sent by the British Comml, by a special steamboat e x p ress, 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 he rejected by the House; but whether rejected er not, it settles the Oregon question during the present Congress. It places in the hands of the President the entire control of the negoti ation, to be used according to hie own cretien. 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 des. 40 as. men will be perfectly satisfied with the result. Mr. Polk, with the peculiar influence!, surrounding him, can now spring the Oreena question upon the country whenever he chooses, and thus secure the decided chances of a re-election. We'shall have a peace with El/gland for the next four years, but a terrible war among the factious at home. Great result this !

" Dee raison& de convenance" says the modest redaction, " nous decided a t e faire connaitre le nom de rauteur que lorsque le roman aura std entierement publie." Nevertheless . tb . ey feel convinced that the first chapters, by their ori ginality, variety, and d e li ca t e o bservation of character, w ild natiB their readers that the unknown author is " de cell que l'ou appelle en France les marichaux de la littu'rature." WO have no disposition to . deny that , t he title is well deserved, but he is no marshal of the Trench literary army, for in the first chapter of "The 19th of March," we find a French translation of an old friend—Burnaby ,Rudge.

HAM:BURGH, MAT 9.—We understand that the loan for aine millions of marks, resolved on by the Senate and citizens in July, last year, has been contracted for by the house of S.

COPENHAGEN, MAY 7.—His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went yesterday evening on board the Aegir steamer, and this morning on board the Gesion frigate. At eleven o'clock this morning the King and suite went in the ume steamer to the frigate, which weighed anchor this afternoon, end together with the steamer proceeded northward. Corzwrracian, MAY 9.—We now learn that the destina• 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 after noon, when he left it off Vedbeck, and arrived here on board the Aegir at half-past five o'clock. RIGA, APRIL 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 prevented entering. Riga, and a groat part of them have- already put back, hoisting a black flag. This is a dreadful blow to our commerce. The Emperor has assigned! a million of roubles to provide the means for remedying this misfortune. CaPENRAGEN, MAT 7.—The expected visit of the Swedish Royal Family to our Court, gives our politicians ample mat ter for conjecture. At first, only a visit of the young Duke of Upland was 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 Sclionen, 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-marriag e of Prince Frederick. of Hesse, nearly allied to the Danish throne, is not to be overlooked. Immediately after se h t o v u i t sit of thew Swedish Royal Family their Afajesties will for schies, the King will then go for the pur pose of sea- bathin to DR E sp AA- g Fehr, and the Queen. to Augritunberg. 5.--O ur Government has received a no• lineation from lierli,, that it does not seem advisable to r*. , sume the conferences-- at Carl till the question of the Cornsnglel respecting the ZOilz-twain Tariff' in England is as. cided, and an unlocked delay ha s tak„ place in Parliament and the Bill CAR hardly be voted in the Upper Hor it as befori; the end of this month.
