Capital 2,000,0001., in 100,(.00! , •hares of 201. each - „ The plan of this Company offers considerable and peculiar advan tages to the shareh Iders. In addition to the profit arising from Life Assurance transactions, it is proposed to raise a capital of 1,00 ,0001. or upwards by the grant of Tontine Annuities in classes, to be regu lated by the ages of the sabscribers or their nominees, which capital, on the death et the survivor in each class, wia be divided exclusively among the shareholders. The principle of the Tontine Annuities is as follow. , : —lf 1,000 per sona silk...scribe 1001. each, they or their respective nominees, being of an age to enter the class, from 45 to 50, at whirl► the Annuly would he about 61. per cent., each subscriber or nominee will, during the eon' 'nuance of all the lives, receive an Annuity of 61. ; but as the lives drop, the Annuity of the deceased parties will be divided amongst the survivors until they arc reduced to six, each of Whom will then receive I,o^ol. per annum for life; but as they respectively die off, the 1 0001. which he 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 prornoCon of Life Assurance transactions, will further enable the Company to guarantee to persons borrowing money upon approved seenrity, and effecting a policy of assurance, to hoe assigned as a collateral security, that so long as the interest on the money lent and the premium on the policy regularly pa?d, the money lent shall not he c fled in till the precise amount accrues by the failure of the life assured.

Ths following ad lress has been issur.d:— " TO THE ELECTORS OF Tall BOROUGH OF BUCKINGHAM Gentlenien—l deem it my duty to inform you that it is my intention to resign my seat in Parliament, and to re t u rn into your hands the trust which you have for many years committed to rne. " Since my return from Irelenrl, where I have been occupied since the month of Auenst in the discharge of my official duties, I have carefully considered the posi tion in which this country is placed in consequence of the political events which have recently occurred. " The Administration of Sir Robert Peel has been dis solved—the country remained without a Government for ten days; and Lord John Russell found himself unable to construct a new Ministry. "Under these circumstances, Sir Robert Peel felt it his duty to his Sovereign to resume the functions of First Minister of the Crown; ell the members of his former Cabinet, with one exception, concurred in that decision, and have determined to support the measures which have been announced to the House of Commons, for the abolition of protecting duties on articles of foreign produce and manufacture. " I deans it essential to the best interests of the country, that these measures, now submitted to Parlia ment by the head of the Government, 'should pass into a law ; and that a final settlement should be mdde of a question which has so long agitated the country, and which, owing to the uncertainty of its continuance, has not worked beneficially for that interest which it was in tended to protect: " But further, I will not be deterred from stating that my opinion on the policy of maintaining a protecting duty on the admission of foreign corn has undergone a change. " So long as high prices were artificially - kept up, and the chief articles of our manufacture were encouraged by high duties, it was not only jtest but necessary that the produce of the soil should be protected by a propor tionate amount of duty. " The commercial policy of the country will now be changed, and I believe that the genie relaxation may be extended to agriculture, as well as to manufactures, with out permanent injury to any one class of producers, and certainly with advantage to the general interests of the country. "My attention has b-en anxiously directed, for some months past, to the failure of the chief article of food in Ireland, and I anticipate vi ith great apprehension a scarcity of provisions -among the poorer classes in that country at no distant period. I ask myself whether a statesman is justified, under such circumstances, in maintaining a law by which the prices of all articles of food are enhanced—under which, the wheat and eats of Ireland, attracted by artificial prices, are exported to England, and the necessaries of life placed beyond the reach of the destitute poor of that country. "I must honestly admit that those arguments by which I have hitherto supported the corn-laws are no longer tenable. "I find, however, that my constituents are not dis posed to adopt this opinion ; they view the proposed measures with alarm end distrust. " I am informed that a meeting was hell in your borough on Saturday last, not confined to members of the Agricultural Protection Society, but which the electors were generally invited to attend. At that meeting resolutions were unanimously passed, condemn ing the proposed alteration of the law, and expressing a wish that an opportunity should be afforded them to elect a member whose opinions upon this question are in conformity with their own. "I do not concur in the alarm and apprehension which you entertain ; I do not admit the right of any constituency, in ordinary cases, to make such an appeal to their representative—delegation is inconsistent with the spirit and practice of the Constitution. " But I do admit that you had reason to suppose that I should continue to support in Parliament the existing corn-law—and on recent occasions, when offering my at If for re-election, on the acceptance of office, I re peated the declarations which I had previously made in reference to that law. " I cannot forget the uniform kindness and confidence which you have reposed in me—l have appealed to you under difficult circumstances, and you hare given me steady and generous support. " I yield, therefore, at once to the expression of your wishes in this matter, and relinquish the honourable position which I fill as your representative, without hesi tation, but not, I assure you, without pain and regret. And in thus bringing to a close our long political con flexion, I desire to offer you my cordial acknowledg ments for many favours received at your hands, and for having afforded me the opportunity of taking some share in the csnduct of public affairs. " I shall ever entertain towards you, individually and collectively, sentiments of esteem and regard ; and I heartily pray that in all your domestic and public rela tions, prosperity and happiness may attend you. " I beg to subscribe myself, gentlemen, " Your faithful and obedient servant, " THO. F. FREMAN £LE. " Irish Office, London, Feb. 3." REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH NORTHAMPTONSUIRE. Mr. Cartwright has just offered the following hind. some valedictory address to the gentlemen, clergy, free• holders, and other electors of the southern division ol the county of Northampton:— " Aynho, Feb. 3. " Gentlemen —The state of my health renders it im perative on me to retire from Parliament. "I should not feel justified in any longer retaining a trust I am wholly incompetent to discharge in a manner either satisfactory to myself or advantageous to you. To delay my resignation till the event of a dissolution of Parliament would be to deprive you of a voice in the House of Commons, at a crisis seldom surpassed in the history of this country. "It is not without much reflection and great regret that I have come to this decision, but I should make you an ill return for the many acts of partiality and kindness I have so often experienced on your part, during a period of nearly fifty years, with a short intermission, if I were to hesitate at a moment like the present to enable you to consign your interests to more efficient hands. " In taking this step I have no desire to conceal or withhold my opinion of the measures now before the Legislature. I have ever considered the agricultural classes entitled to a fair and full protection on the sound est principles of policy and justice, and lean see nothing in the circumstances of the times to call for so great a change, and so hazardous an experiment, as the pro jected alteration in the corn-laws, unaccompanied by any adequate compensation or relief. " It only remains for me further to assure you, that for the few years nhich may yet be spared to me under Divine favour, it will ever be my object, in or out of Parliams nt, to promote by every means in my power the welfare and prosperity of the county of Northampton. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your grateful and obliged humble servant, "W. R. CARTWRIGHT." REPRESENTATION OF DORSET 6111 RE. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF DORSET. 16, Portman-square, Jan. 31, 1846. Gentlemen—The Bill affecting the agricultural and other interests is now before the country. My opinion respecting the justice of the corn-laws has undergone no change, though I do not consider it to be politic or wise to contend for their integrity un der existing circumstances, and it is useless, and it is hopeless. The corn-laws, however defensible in argument, re quire the general concurrence of the community. When the country is divided into two masses, and when its in tellect is in opposite array, a law of this nature is no longer tenable. Such is the state of things in this coun try at the present moment. Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington, the whole Cabinet, with the Crown, are among your opponents. The fate of the corn-laws is thus sealed. I was elected by you, an agricultural constituency, on a full understanding that I would support the corn-laws. I lately stated to you my opinion" that Parliament would soon be dissolved, and that a measure involving the re peal of the corn-laws should be left to the decision of a new Parliament," and I therefore assured you " that I would oppose such a measure whatever my private judg ment might be thereon ; that had the Parliament been younger, and a difference of opinion on the corn-laws had arisen between us, I would in that case have re-igned my trust into your hands." Parliament is not likely to be dissolved. It has been my misfortune to differ from you on many occasions,—on the relaxati on of p rotective duty in the corn-law of 184 o—on the tariff — on the Canada Corn Bill—on the Dissente rs Chapels Bill—on the Msynooth Bill, and now, as a climax, on the course to be pursued with regard to the important measure now before the country. I now therefore red eem my pledge in its full spirit by vaca ting my seat, thereby giving you the immediate power of elETting one who may more accurately repre sent four opinions, and more consonantly carry out your objects. With deep gratitude for the trust reposed in me, and w i t h great regret at its termination, I have the honour to b oy Gentlemen, your most faithful and obedient servant, HENRY CHARLES STURT. A c ounty meet ing has been called by the High Sheriff of Dorsetshirc for Tuesday next, for the purpose of alio; ting publ i c opinion, and adopting petitions against Sir J. Peel's measures. It is expected tht t the two Protectionist candidates will be announced at this meeting; •••••emfevasEMA REIV.ESIT;NTATION OF EAST GLOIWESTEUSHIRE. Mr. Charteris has written a lung letter to his consti tuents upon the subje3t of Sir R. Beel's commercial scheme, in which Mr. Charteris says :—" My own free judgment would lead me to support the Government ; and entertaining these sincere and honest conviction!, as to what is for your interest in common with those of this t reat empire, I should feel myself, as your repre sentative,b constitutionay entitled to do so, notwith standing my having beeo elected in 1841, by a constitu ency favourable to protecion. But I have, to a certain de gree, divested myself of this unfettered right of judgment which the Constj.tutioncpfers upon a representative, in . r ...744.1,4•10• asmuch as, two years ago, I stated at a protection meeting ' that I wool I never assent to any measure which diminished an iota of the protection then en joyed by agriculture.' By giving that pledge I hold nersclf to have surrendered to you a portion of r my own right of individual judgment, wisely or unwisely, rightly or wrongly, I need not now stop to consider ; my present course is clear ; I must keep that pledge inviolate. I therefore feel that, how ever anxious I may be for the success of the measure and the stability of the Government, I cannot vote for the abolition of protection to agriculture without first appealing to my constituents. I therefore tender you tko resignation of my seat in Parliament, and shoal there be a strong public demonstration in favour of its acceptance, I shall not . hesitate to surrender into your hands the trust withwhi ch you did me the honour to invest me." REPRESENTATION OF CHIsIIiESTEII. Lord Arthur Lennox has taken leave of his con sti ue.res in a farewell address ; and Lord Henry Gor don Lennox has offered himself as a candidate for the vacant seat. FREE TRADERS-OF ASTINGS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUZY Sin—Having seen in your valuable journal, a day or two ago, an account of a protection meeting held here on Saturday last, at which, with a deal to do, some sixty 'or seventy persons had been got together in that aause, I beg to inclose you a copy of thr petition unanimously agreed to at a public and overflowing meeting, con vened by the Worshipful the Mayor, pursuant to re quisition, and holden in the common hall of the borough, at which there would at least be eight or nine hundred persons present; thus showing the difforence of feeling in the inhabitants of Sussex, and of Hastings more especially, between free trade and protz;etion.— I am, Sir, your obEdient servant, 11 AR01,1). " To the &c., " The humble paid , n of the undersigned inhabitants of the borough of lla,:tings, in the county of t.:ltusex, assembled in the Town hail of the said borough, on Friday, 2d day of January, 1846: " SLoweth,—That your petitioners deeply smpathise with the sufferings of a great portion of their fellow suhj.cts, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, consequent upon the blight which has fallen upon the potatoes. " That your petitioners are unanimous in a firm con viction that their sufferings are mainly attributable to erroneous legislation, which restricts commerce, excludes the importation of food, and thus intercepts from the people the bounties of Providence.

(From the Inverness Courier.) , We have b en favoured with a copy of a letter written about two years since by the Duke of Sutherland, to his principal factor, on the subject of the corn-laws. At the present moment it will be read with interest ; and wo need hardly remark that his Grace still adheres to the same liberal opinions, and is strongly and con scientiously opposed to all restrictions on trade and commerce:— " London, Feb. 2, 1844. " As I learn that in Sutherland some of my friends and tenants are desirous of having a meet ing to consider the subject of the corn-laws, under apprehension of the effects which the present agi tation of that subject may have on our agricultural interests, it may be well for me to say shortly to you what I am disposed to believe right and true in regard to it. It is very fair that the sentiments of any who feel desirous of communicating them should be ex pressed ; but it is also desirable that none should com mit themselves incautiously and under unnecessary ap prehensions. They may probably find that in this, as on many other subjects, great exaggerations prevail. 1 take it for granted, that none would think of consider ing societies for agricultural purposes as proper instru ments or machinery for extending any determined opi nion which any number of the members may entertain on the general question. This, I think, should be care fully avoided. Of course, I do not urge objections to any persons meeting as a society for the special pur pose of taking a part for or against a general measure; but the societies which have been formed to promote improvements in all branches of farming should be kept clear of contention and free from disputes of this nature. My own feeling is in favour of the free current of na'ional industry—of unfettered commerce—of pur chase and sale generally, without excepting any trade on which the sustenance of the people depends. lam unwilling to close the best markets for our supplies, and cut off from the poi pie the sources which Providence offers, under the varying circumstances of seasons and climates, for the produce of commodities necessary for the enjoyment of life. Ido not think it is a solid good principle to maintain that a bounty should be given to the grower by a tax on the consumer ; and 1 believe that the prot-st drawn up by the late Lord Grenville on the subject is substantially sound and just. I also, as I said, think that, in conforming to these princi ples, we shall not endanger ourselves ; though, no doubt, iu many parts of England particularly, great improve ments will be required, and under any system they should be enforced. Important considerations from the artificial and complicated system which has made our condition so difficult to understand and manage. Our national debt— complicated taxation—necessities ; of re venue—all these make great caution necessary, and it is no doubt right and proper that all who have insight into these subjects should communicate their sentiments, that violent ehanges be withstood—that agriculturists should express their sentiments regarding their own prospects and fears or expectations, as well as other members of society. Ido not, however, wish to enrol myself among those who require restrictions interfering with trade and commerce in regard to the most important articles for man." PROTECTION MEETING AT TOTNES.-DEFEAT OF THE PROTECTION ISTS. (From the Plymouth Journal.) A meeting was held at Totnes on Tuesday, convened by the Tory agriculturists of the neighbourhood, to take into consideration Sir R. Peel's financial policy. Jasper Parrott; Esq., was called to the chair. J. lIBr.LFrEro, E.q., denounced the " treachery" of Sir Robert Peel, and proposed a resolution condemnatory o his measure. Mr. PHILLIPS seconded it. He was replied to by Mr. LAKEMAN, of Brigham, who moved a direct nega tive to the resolution. The resolution on a division was lost by an over whelming majority. Mr. W ATSON, of Dorsly, then proposed a rosolution acceding to the principle of free trade, provided that the Legislature would transfer the poor and county rates to the general taxation of the country. This was opposed by Mr. LAKEMAN, and a resolution approving of immediate abolition of the corn-laws, with out conditions, wai put and carried by a vast majority. It was resolved that a petition, grounded on this reso lution, should be presented to both Lords and Commons. The meeting was held in the Mayoralty rooms. It was a most triumphant demonstration of agricultural feeling; about 450 were present, a large proportion of whom were tenant farmers. IRISH HIGH SHERIFFS for 1846.

The Ck.mber of Representatives, in its sitting to-day, adopted, by a majority of 40 to 13, the project of law for con tinuing in Como the law relative to foreigners. It then voted for the co:Ail - mance of the law granting bounties on the build ing of ships in Belgium. It was agreed to by a majority of 58 to 1. _ _ _ -- The Chamber received a petition from M. Deridder, the engineer, desiring permission to inspect all the documents relative to the sinking of the tunnel of Cumpitch, and asking a delay of a mouth to prepare his justification. The petition was referred, on the motion of the Minister of Public Works, to the Petition Committee, with a request :to make a speedy report. The enormous difference between the average price of wheat in France and Belgium (it exceeds, 3 francs per hec tolitre) can be accounted for only by the fears which have long existed in our country, by the cries of distress which have been so long repeated. There is here a moral cause, of which we still feel the effects. The King transacted business to- day with the Minister for Foreign Aflhirs. Several districts of Limburg, on the banks of the Meuse, have suffered severely by the inundations occa sioned by the extraordinary rise of that river. On the 27th and 28th a last month, the inundation had attained such a height, that the • inhabitants of Heppenert and Aide neck were obliged to take refuge in the lofts of their houses, and to go in boats to Macseyck to obtain provisions. On the 29th the environs of that town were under water, and the hum (Wiens had even extended to the road to Maestricht. Similar accounts have been received from ether places. An able Belgian electrician has just discovered that the electric fluid, which gives the most brilliant light when di rected to certain parts cf the human body ' renders them so diaphanous that the arteries, veins, and nerves may be clearly distinguished, and the action f these various organs studied ; this discovery added to that of the stethoscope will be very useful in exploring the disturbances in the animal economy. .AITOSBURG, Fen. I.—At 5 o'clock this morning we re ceived by express, dispatched on the 29th of January, the important intelligence that the army of the Seikhs had passed the frontier river, and attacked the English army, by which they have been defeated. The lonie-expeeted inter ference of the British army in the Punjaub is thus decided. l'hehonseapre , triese.e, by whose kindness we have re ceived this ex observes, "Unfortunately the liipera trice steamer, which brought this important intelligence, experienced very unfavourable weather ; and was 4 bilged to put into Corfu fir a supply of coals, so that it arrived here nearly two days later than it would otherwise have none. We received indeed this India Mail five or six days sooner than is usual by way of Marseilles, but we fear that it will not reach England by Marseilles oven if an express is sent from Trieste to London." lI.I.3IIIURGH DORSENHALLE, JAL 29. isustrian 5 per Cents B1 6 1 1 01: 3' Money.

THE HAGUE, FEB 2.—The anniversary of the birth day of her Royal Highness the Princess Frederick of the Netherlands was observed yesterday in this town, with the usual ceremonies. , ROTTERDAM, FE3. 2.—We have received the Java journals from th 3 15th to the 221 of October last year. On the 13th, early in the morning, his Excellency the Governor-General left Batavia, and proceeded to brei tenzong. His Excellency was accompanied to the boundaries of the district of Batavia by the principal civil and military authorities, and there received and complimented by th.-:Assist tt.t Resident of Breitenzong, and by many native chiefs, who attended the Governor-General to his palace. On the 21st of June a piratical pron. of Magindanao was at tacked and taken by Major Djacka, of Limbottoa, native officer of the residence of Manacle. The pirates had come with their vessel to this coast, in order to take in a supply of water; they were, however, soon diice vered, and attackcd by Major Djacka, with three prows; and as they would not surrender, they were all killid. Twenty-one persons whom they had carried off were found in the captured vessel, in a most deplorable con. dition, who were thus rostored to liberty. We received from different parts of the kingdom ac counts of considerable inundations. Pousri PRONTIEBS, JAN. 20.—The kingdom of Poland is to undergo the following alterations :-Ist, the frontier line between Poland and Russia is to be effaced in the course of this year. 2d, Between this and the Ist of January, 1847, all persons in office must be able to speck the Russian language ; and every who in this time has not learned to speak it well enough to transact the business of his office in Rus sian will be dismissed. 3d. Tho Government intend entirely to abolish the Viceroyalty of Poland, and to make the country, under another name, a Russian pro vince, and thus to efface all traces of ancient Poland. As to the political state of Poland, it is chiefly this for which incessant efforts are made to put down the Roman Catholic Church. and introduce the Greek in its stead; for all the patriotism of the common people is founded on their religion, and when they can no longer say " I am Polish" (for the word Catholic is unknown to them), but "I am Russian" (by which they mean Greek), Poland will be a long time before brought to a state of tran quillity, for the nobles have now but little influence over the people, and cannot put them in motion except with the aid of the clergy.—Silician Journal COURT CIRCULAR.
