In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a Bonus was declared in June 1829, exceeding ene per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an average of the different Ages ; and two subsequent divisions of nearly equal athounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842. On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001. Loans granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro vided such Policies W.. all have been effected a sufficient time to have attained in each case a value not under 501. In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, tt Return of profit was declared on the 4th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1844, and the same' is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted), between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and also by the Agents in the .Country Districts. Notice is hereby given, that assurances which expire at Lady Day must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with Mr. Sams, 1, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall ; or with the Company's agents throughout the kingdom, otherwise they become void.

The indisputability of the policies granted by this Company—; The obligation to pay the sum assured, although thedebt for which the policy was taken out may have been paid before the claim wises— Whole world policies not confined to the limits of Europe— Option of half-premium payment for the first seven years— These form a combination of advantages which can be obtained only from the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Life Company. The success which has attended the system of Assurance pursued by this Company is illustrated by the fact, that at the General Court, held on the 9th clay of July last, there was declarsd A REDUCTION OF 25 PER CENT. on the current year's premiums of all participating policies opened on or before the 9th day of February, 1841. Thus, a person aged 40, who opened a policy for 1,0001. in February, 1841, at an annual premium of • £32 10 0 Is called upon to pay this year only • ..... 24 7 6 And if this abatement be applied to pay the first year's premium of an additional policy, the party will be further assured to the extent of ........ • 216 9 4 Proportionate benefits accrue to policies on all ages.

A meeting was held yesterday at the Egyptian Hall, Mansion House, "for the purpose of adopting resolu tions for providing the ministrations of religion and the means of education for our emigrant countrymen in the British colonies." The hall was crowded to excess with ladies. The LORD MAYOR took the chair shortly after one o'clock. After which the platform also became imme diately crowded. Amongst the gentlemen assembled were the Bishop of London, Lord John Russell, Monckton Milnes, M.P., Lord John Manners, the Bishop of Landaff, the Bishop of Jamaica, Archdeacon Manning, Alderman Copeland, &c. &c. The proceedings of the day were commenced by the Lord Bishop of LONDON reading prayers, at the con clusion of which . The LORD MAYOR said it was very gratifying to him to see so large an assemblage for the purpose stated in the advertisement. They would have the pleasure of hearing some of the greatest men in the City upon the subject, and it was a sense of great gratification to him or the chief magistrate of the greatest city in the world to have it in his power to place this hall at their disposal for so useful a purpose, and he had no doubt that the use they would make of it would be creditable and satisfac tory to all parties.—(Hear, hear.) The Lord Bishop of LONDON then rose, and having spoken in terms of high eulogium of the active interest taken in this society by the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London from a very early period, he proceeded to read the first resolution, which was :—" That, while a great present deficiency of the means of public worship and religious instruction exists throughout the British Colonies, about 40,000 persons, for the most part of the poorest class, annually go out as Emigrants, to settle in those ceuntries." That resolution he thought might be objected to by some, and it might appear rather singular that he should call upon the meeting to vote in the affirmative of a mere statistical fact. He would rather transpose the wording, and say, that " while 40,000 emi grants went out annually to their colonies, they were deficient in the means of public worship and instruction," a statement which certainly admitted of proof ; but he was willing to take the resolution as it stood, and in that form it involved elements of an argument the most im portant. If it were true, then, that 40,000 of the people of this country, were compelled annually to leave their homes for an uncivilised land, the question suggested itself, what provision was made far their spiritual wel lare ?—(Hear, hear.) And when be remembered that the national income of this vast empire amounted to the enormous sum of nearly two hundred millions ; when he looked around at this, the greatest metropolis in the world ; when he saw this meeting isttende4 by the great merchants and bankers of the Metropolis, merchants which had well been called the prince merchants of the earth ; when he remembered that the great Creator had blessed the prowess of the British army and navy in every part of the globe with Con quest and success ; when he remembered all thiti he was naturally led to ask himself, to what eild had the Almighty permitted all these blesmitgs to - fall upon this happy land? When so many of his fellow countrymen were compelled to forego the blessings of peace and, re ligion in their native soil for a distant colonp ho Wished he could say that they always carried out with them even the necessary domestic comfotts, but they certainly were totally bereft of the blessings of religious consolation. He wished he Could say of this country what Spain boasted of in the early days of her power. He wished he could say that this great nation, whose dominions were so vast that the sun never sets upon them, that it had used, and was using, its power to secure to her banished children full and ample religious institutions. But it should be confessed with shame and sorrow, that in this particular they had as yet been sadly tieficient. No doubt reasons might be given for this; it might bo said that the troubles of the Church were many, that it had received many interruptions to its usefulness by the in terference of monarchical government ; these reasons might be assigned for the neglect attributed to the Church. But let them not be too sev.-(, but rather take into considerati on th e great ana° sibility which had of l a t e dye ^' 7 :" or respon which she was --- yea upon the Church, b- , ly - - • of + earths which she . ~ ak to the utmost limits i'. 6 the tio^ difficulties and in eotticlueiisily 14fe dbite hut fo.. t . .' as the present, terhiPtlonS.

He then went on t o say , t h at as yet they had been able to .-- send out to all their colonies only 300 missionaries, which was by no means adequate to the wants of the emigrants in their colonies. In Newfoundland the num ber was greatly deficient, and it was only within the last three years that a Bishop had been appointed there, ri horn he had now the pleasure of seeing at this meeting, and who bore with him proofs of the happy fruits reaped from the seeds he had sown in that colony.—(Hear.) He would not further enter into details, but he would observe, that though the subscriptions of this Society amounted to 50,00Q1. a year, still, when he remembered that the national revenues of this kingdom IttUOUllted_SO 200,000,0004, their eubsoriptions bore no adequate proportion to that vast revenue. If but one millionth part of the private incomes of the people of this country were bat contributed, they would have a fund more than sufficient for all Vicir purposes. With these observations he would conclude, by moving the adoption of the resolution in the form he had suggested. Mr. E. BARING!, M.P., seconded the resolution. In doing co, he said he feared it would be presumptuous i❑ him to add anything to what had fallen from the Right Rev. Prelate upon this subject, even if he could do so ; but he had not, he regretted to say, acquired as much information upon the subject as he could wish, and there fore he would content himself with seconding the reso lution. The resolution was then carried unanimously. The Right Rev, the Bishop of JAMAICA proposed the next resolution. He said he felt happy at the honour that had thus been contested upon him ; but he feared he should appear to great disadvantage before this meeting after the aelmirable addresses they had hthd, not only by reason of the physical disability under which he laboured, but also from the fact of his natural inability to do justice to the subject. But he would ob serve, that he had tr ave ll e d over h un d re d s of miles of the anadas, over which were scattered, thinly and dis tantly to be sure, th population, who knew nothing of the presence of either churcheministers or teachers. In the great district of Nova S co ti a a l so there were only 47 missionaries. In New Brunswick, a country as large as Ireland, there were but thirty ; and in Newfoundland, with a population of 100,000, there were but twenty seven missionaries. In fact, they had altogether but three hundred, while they required at least double that number. He hoped then that Englishmen would never let it be said that their countrymen in distant lands were lost by a spiritual famine.—(ilear.) The Right Rev. Prelate concluded by, proposing the following resolu tion :—" That the poor labourers and workmen, who are cempelled to seek an independent subsistence for themselves and their families in the oolonies, and are thus deprived of the advantages provided for them at home;-in their own' parish church and school, have a strong claim- on their countrymen for help, in providing themselves and their children with the ministrations of religion and the means of education." Lord JOHN RUSSELL came forward to second the resolution, and was received with loud cheering. lie said, he rose to address this meeting, not only as being connected with the city of London as one of its re presentatives in Parliament, but likewise as one who recently held a situation under the Crown, which gave him many opportunities of knowing the situation of their colonies ; and that position also afforded him the means of learning how valuable were the efforts that had been made by this society for the diffusion of the Christian religion in those colonies.---(Hear.) It was, therefore, with great pleasure that he rose to second a resolution which spoke of- the advantages of givivg to the poor la bourers and workmen, who were compelled to seek an independent subsistence for themselves and their fami lies in the colonies, and were then deprived of the ad vantages provided for them at home in their own parish church end school. The Right Rev. Prelate, who had just addressed the meeting, had spoken most truly of those advantages, while the labourers of this country, who were compelled to seek employment in a distant land - would be driven from religious instruction ; and he (Lord J.-Russell) had recently received from the Bishop of New Zealand a communi cation to the effect that that Right RCM Prelate had heard a report to the effect that the labourers and others who had gone out to that colony from Devonshire, were calling loudly for religious assistance and instruction.— (Hear, hear.) Those men, when at home, were accus tomed to hear the sound of the bell of their village church on the Lord's-day, and to hear the Gospel from their village pastor ; and in the hour of sickness and distress, to receive religious instruction and consolation from their parish clergyman.—(Hear, hear.) And in the event of any temporal accident or misfortune, they were accustomed, in the first instance, to have recourse to their clergyman for such temporal aid as he had it in his power to give. —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") W as it wonderful, then, that such men should feel, in going out to a distant foreign land, desirous to have these comforts of their spiritual welfare continued to them ?—(Hear, hear.) Was it wonderful that they shoull wish to see their clergy and their church esta blished in that land, and have the same instruction, and receive the same assistance, which in their homes in their nativeJand they had been accustomed to and re membered with so much affection.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped he would be permitted, in speaking upon this subject, to allude to the state of the people of other nations, who had not had the blessing of knowing what the revealed gospel was; and of other nations, whieh though having the revealed gospel, had not the means of receiving instruction upon it. There were some lines in Homer, describing the foundation of a colony by a Pagan, who built houses and surrounded the town with walls, and dried up the fields, and built a temple.— (Hear, hear.) Was it not plain from this that the founder of that heathen colony, though mistaken in his worship, yet felt that worship was due somewhere ? (llear, hear.) Then let them look at what had been done by their own ancestors in the time which they called " barbarous," a time when even the gentry of that day knew not the simple arts of reading and writing. Even in those days the landowners took care that in their demesnes and villages, where dwelt those tenants who wielded the spear and the shield to be prepared to fight the enemy, that they should have their village churches, and their clergymen to in struct the minds of those poor men in the adoration of God.—(Hear, hear.) If such, then, were the feelings of the Pagan founders of the barbarous chiefs, how much more anxious should they not be who, in the present enlightened age of the world, enjoyed so many of the blessings conferred by a thorough knowledge of the divine religion.—(Hear.) The position to which he had alluded as having held under the Crown, made him aware of the fact, that every other religious denomina tion had endeavoured to establish Christianity in the colonies. The Roman Catholics had their bishops in them ; and the Baptists, and the Churches of Scotland, and many other forms of faith, had made great efforts in this behalf ; and he rejoiced, that as regarded the Church of England, the efforts of the missionaries of that church had so far been most fruit ful.—(Hear, hear.) Time was, and that not far distant, when colonies, which then had only five missionaries, now had fifty, and in a very short time had that advance been made, and all by the aid of such societies as this. — (Hear.) And this was the only way in which it could be done. What in former times was the work of the State and the Parliament was now the result of the la bours of associations such as this.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord concluded by seconding the resolution. Mr. R. MANGens, a New Zealand director, spoke to the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The third resolution was proposed by Mr. Archdeacon MANNING, and seconded by Sir G. LARPENT, and was in these words :—" That the merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of London, whose commercial inte rests are so closely interwove n with the prosperity of the colonies, art specially called upon to promote their moral and spiritual welfare." The fourth resolution was as follows 1--" That a sub scription, in behalf of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel be noW opened ; and that, with a view of carrying the foregoing resolutions into fuller effect, a Central Committee of the Society be formed, for the purpose of soliciting s ub scr i pt i ons and donations from all classes in the city o f L on d on ; that Special Com mittees be foented in each parish or district ; and that the eleegy Ad churchwardens be invited to act on the Committees, in their several parishes.", Which Went; been berried, the usual vote of thanks was Mr. Alderman Cdk e e el ii proposed the resolution, iassed to the Lord Mayor, and the meeting separated. r --,-- , , There were presev.,t et her kajiity'l• theatre last night Hitßoyal were Prince George; the Duke and Duchess or Beaufort ; the M ar q u isses o f Huntley, ; tley,, Clanriearde, Tich field, and Palacino3 OS MarchionesSeS of Dottrti, Worcester, and Clenrieardh; the r, ar i s of Wilton, Falmouth, Liverpool, I.Onsdale, March, Chesterfield, Munster, and Cawdor ; Counts Koudraffsky, EFterhazy, and D'Astorg; the Countesses of Essex, March, Westmeath, And Clare i his Pi:Cello:ley the Russian AnpaSsAdoi.

At an evening meeting a several traders, manufacturers, and others, held in the City, to consider the subject of peace or war with the United States, the following resolu tion was agreed upon, and we believe it is intended to use every etThrt to obtain the acquiescence of the most influential parties, with a view to some memorial to Government:— " Resolved—That it is the opinion of this meeting that the country called Oregon, lying between the 42 deg. and 54 deg. 40 min. north latitude, and west of the United States of America, to the Pacific Ocean, and claimed by the Govern ment of the United States as belonging to that country, is justly disputed by the Government of this country. 'that, according to the established laws of nations, both countries have claims which are not difficult to define, and which might have been amicably and equitably settled, had the two Govern ments set about it honestly and with good feeling. That it has not been so settled, is to be atrributed to the want of knowledge, or, something worse, of the different Secre taries of State for Foreign Affairs, who have been in power during the period of dispute, by appointing negotiators who made diplomacy a trade, and who have a pecuniary interest in procrastination. That Sir Henry Pottinger, when in the service of the East India Company, displayed such ex traordinary talents in the diplomacy, that the Governmint of India always selected him whenever great difficulties were to he . surmounted, and lie never failed in succeeding beyond the - wishes or expectations of that Government; that it was from the knowledge of his tried abilities that he was appointed plenipotentiary to China, the result of which was the opening of the ports of that country to the commerce of the,world, and which up to that time had been considered almost impossi ble. But even more than this, he convinced that Govern ment of the honour and integrity of this country in the maintenance of good faith in treaties, and converted ene mies into friends. That it is the opinion of this meeting, that by Sir Henry Pottinger, if appointed her Majesty's plenipotentiary to the Government of the United States of America, the disputis between the two nations would' be equitably and amicably settled in a few months, and that he would engender a mutual good feeling between the people of both countries and thus secure a lasting peace."

After mature deliberation, your Committee have resolved, before classifying these Bills, to call the attention of the House to their more than ordinary importance, and the very serious effects which they are likely to produce in various ways on the condition of the metropolis. Your Committee are of opinion that this is a subject which, for many considerations, it would be expedient to re fer to a Royal Commission, and have directed their chairman so to report, and at the same time to state the rounds on which they have come to this conclusion. They crave farther instructions in this matter. The Railway Bills to which your Committee more imme diately refer are as follows : Eastern Counties (Tottenham and Farringdon-street). London and South-Western (Extension to London-bridge). South-Eastern («Waterloo-road to Greenwich). East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction. Charing-cross Bridge. North Kent (City Extension).

The betting at starting was 5 to 4 on the Hammersmith hero, but so soon as they were off it sunk to evens. At the fourth mile, when Bradshaw came up to his map, the odds weht up HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. . . Verdi's opera of Ernani, was represented last evening for the purpose of introducing three new aspirants for public favour to an English audience. They were Madame Pasini, who took the part of Elvira ; Signor Castigliano, who appeared as Ernani ; and Signor Ben chich, who was the Don Carlos. Madame Pasini is a pure soprano, with a roice of somewhat high register, and rather thin in quality. It has, however, been well regulated, and her acting is impassioned. She is moreover, a good musician; and in theconcerted piecesshe was very good, her upper notes telling with great effect. Signor Castigliano is a tenor, a pure tenor, a roce di petto. Throughout the opera he never uttered a falsetto note. Ile possesses considerable power ; and if he did not occasionally sing in his throat, he might take the highest rank in his profession. Tbis throaty-singing however, is perhaps attributable to the nervousness in separable from a first appearance. It was moat con spicuous in the first act, but he gained con fidence as be went on ; and it was not at all perceptible towards the conclusion of the opera. The splendid concluding trio, " Ferns crudele estinguere," was magnificenqy given by Pasini, Signor Castiglione, and Fornasari, and was en thusiastically encored. Signor Benchich is a barytone of great purity and power; his singing left nothing to be desired, and if his action were a little less exuberant, and his poses not quite so angular, he would be as good an actor as he is a singer. As it is, he is a great acquisition to the company. Fornasari's Buy Gomez was superb ; that tremulousness of voice, of which some' hypercritic& have (in our opinion most unjustly) complained was in this character a help towards perfection; it was the tremulousness of a strongly-excited, madly-impassioned old man ; and never has the union of old age with intense passion been more brilliantly exhibited than it was by Fornasari last evening. His Buy Gomez is a perfect triumph of art—it is equal to , the Lear of John Kemble. The fine chorusses were beautifully given, and full jus tice was done to the fine accompaniments by the or chestra, under the judicious superintendence of Bale, who entered thoroughly into the spirit of the music, and who supported the singers, and worked in the lights and shadows (as it were) of the picture, by means of the in strumental accompaniments, as only one can do who has himself been a dramatic singer, and, therefore, practically understands where the accompaniment is to be subdued and wererbrought out in full force, so as to produce the greatest effect as a whole. Nothing could be more musician-like than the manner in which Balfe conducted this opera. Pasini, Castiglione, and Fornasari were called for at the fall of the curtain, and received the usual homage. The delightful ballet of Catarina, with Lucile Grahn as the heroine, and Louise Taglioni as the modele concluded the performances. The house was crowded with the elite of the beau monde.

ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.- 0 nlionday afternoon an accident occurred on this line, which might have been attended with the most fatal results. It appears that the, one o'clock down goods train left the station at Woking half an hour before the three o'clock fast train was due. About three miles from; Woking the goods train was unable to proceed, owing to the strong wind that was blowing ; indeed the guards say it blew a perfect hur ricane which entirely impeded the progress of the train , vast as w as . its weight and bulk. The conductor of the engine of the fast train tthrea engine,i ran observing intoit, alalthough sg it a eras e) broad by thedayl ight, c onduc toriid many of whom, by the violence of the q o u r it t e h d e ls g a °° ble d d s ex cited amongst the passengers, • from their seats, and received some severe in.- rendering it unfit for farther service. Considerable alarm was collision, were thrown juries. Fortunately no lives were lost, which was rather wonderful, considering the serious nature of the accident. The stokers acct drivers of both engines escaped unhurt. A pilot engine was dis. , patched from Woking to remove the disabled engine to that station, and after a delay of upwards of an hour, the passenger train pro ceeded on its journey, all the passengers being very thankful for their providential escape. THE LATE MURDER IN ST. LURE'S.—On Tuesday Mr. Bakt'r held an inquest at the Cumberland's Head, City-road, on the body of Mary Murray, who died from the effects of injuries received at the Lands of a labourer named Martin Jennings, new in custody on the charge of murder. A great number of witnesses were examined, but as their evidence applied only to facts which have already appeared, it is unnecessary to repeat it. The following additional facts were elicited at the inquest :—Sarah Angelina Hewett, of George-yard, said that she heard on the morning in Martin, don't murder me." That question a loud cry of " Martin, occurred whilst witness was in bed. She heard something like a fall under her window. Some time after she heard a person say, " Tho police are coming, the woman is dead." About fifteen minutes elapsed from the commencement to the end of the airray, John Waldron said that he saw Jennings take hold of de ceased by the hair of the head, and then strike her witb his fist or hand on the face. Witness then laid hold of the cellar Of Jennings, and pulled him from the deceased. Mr. John Courtney., surgeon, of 5, Finsbury-terrace, said that he had made a post moriena examination of the body of deceased. On removing the covering of the skull a small bruise presented itself ou the frontal bone, over the vascular e an of o t i h d e m. b ary rain . -e it -as y right eye.

The jury returned a verdict of "Manslaughter against Martin. Jennings." Sir Thomas, Lady, and Miss Lethbridge have arrived at Myatt's Hotel from their seat, Sandhill-park, Semersetshire. ROYAL MARlNES.—Lieutenant Arnold has been ga zetted out of that corps on half-pay, and appointed to an adjutantcy in one of the Scotch regiments of militia. A great promotion, it is expected, will shortly take place in the corps of Marines by the re pected that one or two of the commandants of divisisn s will retire. tikeibent of a number of old officers upon full pay.
