CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. Notice is hereby given, that the usual DIVIDEND of 5 per Cent. (less income-tax) on the paid-up Capital of the Shareholders will be payable at the office , o n and after FRIDAY, the 20th of August inst. The small share of Profit divisible in fatnre among the Share holders being now pro vi d ed for, withou t iotrenching on the amount made by the regular business, the ASSURED will hereafter derive all the benefits obtainable from a Mutual Office, while, at the same t i m e, they will be completely free from liability, secured by an ample p ropr i e tary Capital—and the advantages of both systems will thus be combined. The assured will in future participate in the Profits in propor tion to the number and amount of the premiums paid between every division, so that if only one year's premium be received prior to c losing the books, it will obtain its due share. — At the FIFTH DIVISION of PROFITS declared in January last, the sum of 131,1251. was added to Policies then entitled, which oam produced a BONUS varying with the different ages, from 24% to 55 per cent. on the Premiums paid, during the preceding five years; or from 51. to 121. 10s. per cent. on the sum assured. The next and future Bonuses may be received in cash, or applied at the option of the Assured in any other way. Credit will be given for half of the sinful Premiums on policies for the whole of Life, for five years, at interest, to be paid off at the expiration of that time, or earlier, or remain as a permanent charge upon the Policy. INVALID LIVES assured at rates proportioned to the increased risk. Medical referees paid by the Society in all cases. Claims paid in THIRTY DAYS after proof of death. A copy of the last Report.

London-bridge was the first great cause of the lead ing City improvements. The building of King Wil liam-street and the sweeping away of the old and narrow approach to the bridge, was a great improve. ment. Another was the making of a fine approach to the Bank from Islington— the building of such an open and clear thoroughfare as Moorgate-street was a public benefit, and merits the public gratitude. Earlier in date was the removal of Fleet-market (a collection of unwhole some nuisances) and the making of Farriegdon street, with an intended line of buildings, in a wide street, stretching up as far as Clerkenwell, and clear inga away many notorious ha un t s o f v i ce an d per p e tual seats and, of it infectious was hope d d ise that se a s' w W id h e en street wouldhave Lad-lane been opened from th e B an k to t h e New P os t- o ffice, was hand, in relieving Cheapside of some of its heaviest traffic. There was great mismanagement, for in stead of the wide and open thoroughfare, we obtained the narrow and winding Pas sage called Gresham street, which is little better than what Lad-lane was —narrow, straggling, and leconvenient. New Oxfordestreet, cutting off the narrow end corkscrew route of High-street, Holborn, although not a City improvement (we owe it to the Woods and Forests), must be mentioned here as one of the greatest improvements by which the City has benefited. It opened a facile communication from the West-end to the City, and 1195 much accommo dated the public. The line from Ferringdon-street to Clerkenwell, too long delayed, appears to be near commencement at last. There have b- en difficulties arising out of the complexity of interests, rs represented by the City on one band and the Clerkenwell Improvements Commissioners on the other. These are arranged now, and further steps towards the prosecution of the plan will be taken next month. The required notices as to the purchase of property have b3en given, and after the assessment of value no time will be further hist in carrying out a line which Rill make a direct communication between the north and south of the metropolis—from Clerkenwell (with Pentonville and Islington) direct over the leading thoroughfares beyond Bleckfriarsebridge. Another new street, now in course of being made, is that which will extend from Eastcheap, in . a straight line, to the south side of St. Paul's. This street, to be thirty feet wide in the roadway, and ten in each of the side-paths, has considerably advanced, and will have a double terminus westward —one end ing by St. Paul's, the other passing to Earl street, close to Blackfriars-bridge. Eventually Ludgate-hill, St. Paul's Churchyerd, Cheapside, and the Poultry, will be relieved, by this route, of the heavier traffic f:om the west of the City. The funds are supplied by the Corporation, but we dare say that the increased value of rents along the new street will eventually more than repay the cost of these im provements, great as it is. We have glanced at what is being done, re it is only fair to mention municipal consideration for public convenience, whenever it is exhibited. It proves, in fact, that the Corporation is desirous of doing some good with its immense re venue, and enable a man to say of London that (on it) he may travel from Dan to Beersheba, and may say "all is not barren." This is rather negative praise, but we shall be delighted to increase it, if the Corporation will allow us, by deserving more. In connexion with this subject crises another consi deration—where Pee the working classes, unhoused by these improvements in street-extension, to find future habitations ? The opening of New Oxford street broke up the clessic regions of "The Rookery" in St. Giles's, end (to say nothing of the narrow and populous lanes which will be swept away by the new City route) the whole line from Ferringdon-street to Clerkenwell, is crowded with the very poorest of the labouring classes. What shall become of these tribes ? It behoves the public to look at this ques tion in time. For every one model lodging-house &rawly erected (and admirable places they are, clean, cheap, and convenient,) twenty are required. In fact, a street of such habitations would find full and much coveted cccupation, and might be erected on the new line to Clerkenwell. It is pleasant to know that, even as en inves'ment of capital, such a street would yield a very liberal return for ex penditure. The QUEEN held a Council of her Ministers, at Osborne House, yesterday, and the result was the an nouncement, in a supplement to the Loudon Gazette, which appears in another part of our paper. This is the reverse of satisfactory. The PRIME MinsTER promised, over and over again during the last Session, that the new Parliament should assemble in the Autumn. He now prorogues it until the end of October, without the notice that it will then meet " for the dispatch of business." So, should Perlia liament meet at ail this ys:r, it will be so lea, so close to Christmas as to make it almost a pro formic meeting. What is the natural inference to be drawn by the public from this shuffling, but that the Go vernment, afraid to meet the Parliament, are willing to put off the evil day ? No one expected that in the short Session before Christmas Ministers would apply themselves to the purposes of legislation— but it was hoped and anticipat-d that they would then he reedy to make a full declaration of principles, and to indicate the leading features of the new measures, which, of course, they must bring forward. We did hope that this Ministry, certainly not of the hackneyed and red-tap class, would have had the boldness, if not the prudence, to avoid the coups d'idat of its precursors during the lest thirty years—such as surprising the public by sudden and unexi - - eted propositions. Formerly the practice wes to announce a measure one session, and legislate on it the next. The Duke, in 1829, took the nation by surprise with the Catholic Relief Bill, end from that time to the present SF !eches from the Throne have been framed on the principle of surprising the world. We 't 1. hoped, we repeat, that Parliament, meeting in October, would have had some account from Ministers of the plans they meant to adopt, the measures they meant to propose. Instead of this—delay and evasion ! The usual, farce of assembling the clerical Convo cations is also postponed. It is really full time either wholly to abolish these Convocations, or to make them more than a name. The latter might be done by releasing the hierarchy from the trouble of sitting in Parliament, end making then an Upper Chamber of the Convocation, really doing something for Church discipline and doctrine. MINISTERIAL TRIBUTES TO LITERATURE• Reference was made a few days back to the ru moured appointment of Mr. Warren, the celebrated author of " Ten Thousand a Year," as the Hull Recorder. Another distinguished novelist has since then received a marked tribute to his popularity from the hands of the Derby Government. It is with pecu liar pleasure we find occasion to ep a.k thus in announcing the nomination of Mr. G. P. R. James— the most prolific of our living writers of fiction— as Consul at Norfolk, in the Unitcd Stat es . We believe, moreover, that we are correct in stating that a son of Mr. Ford—a gentleman well known and deservedly admired for his inimitable hand-book to " Spain"—has been in like manner dis tinguished by a diplomatic appointment. These are acts that reflect honour upon the new Ministry, and acts that will not be overlooked and forgotten by a people wh o love as well r 1 apprec i ate t h e ; r national literature.

"Absolute Reciprocity" appears to have been at length recognised as th e pr i nc i p l e o f conciliation — perhaps we sh ou ld say, as t h e me ans of reconcilia tion—between the American and English Govern ments. It is t o l era bl y we ll understood by this time, on both sid es o f th e Atlantic, that the Fisheries question is now in a fair way of being brought to a permanent and satisfactory s ettlement. After a great show of angry feeling in the chambers of Congress, and a somewhat indecorous display of blustering an d braggadocio on the part of a n o less distinguished orator and statesman than DANIELW EusTEE, the whole matter o o about good fri e l n ` friends sound the , appears to have beieihap ly a b s r t o il u i toorgmhte xc unexpectedly rapid and, if possible, fortunate conclusion. nothing" -1w n of w u the and fury signifying legislators at Washington r How ab ou t t h at exceed ingly warlike oration spoken—marvel t o re l ate, not b y a stump orator with a bowie-knif e in bis gi-dle, and a plug of tobacco in his chrek, an d a pa tent revolver in his cost pocket, but—by the Lord of Marshfield, the BURKE of Congress, the most important an d t h e most gifted among all the candidates for the Presidency ? How about that spech of y ours, M r. W ERsTEß—that speech dictated less by tne ardour of patriotism, it would seem, than by a passion for cl a pt rap an d a t en d erness f or t h e adulation of a mob ? How about those vapourings of the Commitee on Foreign Relations—resembling very marvellously the bubbles mentioned in the fan tastic but melodious verse of SPENSER— " The bubbles blower, up with wind, Which being prickt do vanish into noughts." Unlike the " little wanton boys that swim on blad ders" for ever end ever in the flowing rhythm of SHAKSPERE—the loud-si caking advocates of wet in Washington are submerged very surnmarily;by the unlooked-for reconciliation effected by her MAJESTY'S Government. The self-sufficiency that _buoyed them up has been punctured very adroitly by the keen diplomacy of the Foreign Department in Downing street. How do they feel ?—these Bobadils in speech and Parolles in action—how do they look ? What do they say ? We should like to encounter one or two of them some fine day saunter ing down the shady side of Broadway. S .rionsly—there is much cause for exultation in the happy issue of these negotiations about the North American Fisheries. The result proves clearly enough that the charges of precipiteion, and yet at the same time of lack of promptitude, directed against the DEBBY Administration, are alike unfounded. The precipitation, it was said, had reference to the seizure of fishing vessels in the Bay of Fundy, and the lack of promptitude to the delay in bringing the matter to an amiable settle ment. It was insisted that some warning ought to have been addressed to the authorities at Washington before the fishing smack was seized in the bay, upOn the waters of which it had encroached. Why— common sense tells us at once, plainly enough, that the treaty of 1818 was warning enough in all con science. What more could possibly have been ex pected. You don't usually warn a thief to take his hand out of your pocket, if absence of mind has so far confused his notions of meum and team. Here: had the United States' fishermen been industriously dragging their nets within a distance from the British North American coasts against which they had been expressly prohibited by stipulations— " signed, sealed, and delivered." Well, that was admitted—on all hands it wee admitted. But—then it wes coolly objected that the violation of the treaty had extended over so long a period that it was really too bed for the British Govern ment to interfere, without Brat of ell, in a gentlemanly way, announcing its intention to adventure upon that interference. This was well enough in itself, rs a child might at a glance have perceived. Take the conduct t be pursued towards the pickpocket again by way of illustration. Be cause some gentleman has been coolly helping himself whenever his humour listed to your snuff-box, and your pocket-book, and your handkerchief, and the rest of the little knick-knackeries of your personal paraphernalia-- you must by no means prevent the continuance of these nefarious proceedings until you have first of all warned him of your inten tion. Had you objected to these pleasant kind of eccentricities in the first instance —well and gond— ari ted month that would have been altogether different. B a t t o allow fish to be caught over and over after month, and year after year, in p g o a h i i n b lo calities, without evincing any disposition to t . pick a quarrel" with the fishermen for their encroachments —and then suddenly, without a syllable by way of preparation, to swoop down uponi them and bodily carry off a smack out of the quiet waters of the Bay of Fundy—it was really nothing more or less than absolutely monstrous and unendurable. That was the reasoning of Mr. WEBSTER ? It was the logic of the Committee on Foreign Relations at Washington. It was the argument used with all the coolness in life by the more warlike section of the American community. Hence the charge of precipi tation directed against the British Government. The precipitation being proved—by the fact of a long, long tedious series of delays, extending back almost to the treaty of 1818. Certainly this was clearly one of those transparent proofs known under the generic title of self-evident propositions. Then, as to the lack of promptitude—Here is the whole ques tion about our North American Fisheries already close upon upon a thorough and amicable settlement ! y Obvi ous l y , therefore, in reference to this much talked-ot di scuss i on, t h e D EBBY C a bi ne t h as acted all vigorously, and patriotically.

The pruning knife having been judiciously applied to The Field of Terror, it now goes very smoothly and pleasingly, and has actually turned out to be an attractive hit. The house continues to be exceed ingly well attended, and Mr. Flexrnore and Mdlle. Auriol are nightly called before the curtain. The fantastic agility of the former as the mischievous imp affords vast delight to the spectators, and the exqui site dancing of the latter commands universal admi ration. In the comedietta Caught in his own Trap Mr. Farren and Mrs. Alfred Phillips are seen to ad mirable advantage, but commend us above all to Mr. Shalders, whose genuine unstrained humour is pecu liarly delicious. Many a more pretentious artist falls far behind him in true comic power. The present entertainments at the Olympic are well deserving of public patronage. The seasonable hour at which the performances terminate is a praiseworthy feature in the management. VAUX HALL. GARDENS. Mr. Wardell, the enterprising lessee of the royal property, took his benefit last night, and not with• standing the unsettled and threatening appearance of the weather, a numerous and highly respectable com pany assembled to testify their appreciation of the manner in which Mr. Wardell conducts this old and popular establishment. Shortly after seven o'clock, Mr. Green, the veteran aeronaut, accompanied by several gentlemen, made an ascent in the great Nas sau balloon. At first the huge machine took a north-essterly direction, at a low altitude, but the ballast having been freely diachargrd the balloon sredtly shot up to rn i mmense h e i ght, an d h av i ng gotinto a new current of air was carried to the south-west, an d crossed tba gardens from which it bad ascended three times within a short period, as if unable to get out o f the c i rc l e. I n t h e course o f t h e evening intelligence arrived at the gardens that a safe descent had been effected at Deptford. The other amusements consisted, with a few additions, of performances already favourably noticed, and so well kn own b y the public as to preclude the neces sity of any description. The new ballet of Leola seems to increase in popularity with each successive representation. The fireworks were upon au un uswlly large sca l e , an d th e gar d ens were brilliantly illuminated.
