In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a Bonus was declared in June 1829, exceeding one per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an average of the different Ages ; and two subsequent divisions of nearly equal amounts 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.

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 so, he said he feared it would be presumptuous it: him to add anything to what had fallen from the Right Rev. Prelate upon this subject, even if he could do ao ; but he had not, he regretted to say, acquired as much information upon the subject as he could %ish, 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 conferred upon him ; but he feared he should appear to. great d i sadvantage before this meeting after the admirable addreses they had heard, not only by reason of the physical disability under which be laboured, but also from the fact of his natural inability to do justice to the subject. But he would ob serve, that he had travelled over hundreds of miles of the Canadas, over which w ere s cattered, thinly and dis tantly-to be sure, the population, who knew nothing of the presence of either church, ministers, or teachers. In the great district of Nova Scotia also there were only 47 missionaries. In New Brunswick, a country as large Lib Ireland, there were but thirty ; and in Newfoundiand, 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 -fasnine.—(hear.) The Right Rev. Prelate concluded by proposing the following resolu tion :—" That the pour labourers and workmen, who are compelled to seek an independent subsistence foe, themselves and their families in the colonies, and are thus deprived of the advantages provided fur 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 Jose RUSSELL came forward to second the resolution, and was received with loud cheering. Ile 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 of givivg to the poor la religion in those colonies. — (Hear.) It was, therefore, with great pleasure that he rose to s econ d a reso l u tion v to seek 4 11 w bo h u ic re h rs sp a o n k d e w of or t k h in e eardjaun,btaogewsere compelled 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 and school. The Right Rev. Prelate, who had just addressed the meeting, had spoken most tru'y of those advantages, while the labourers of this country, who were compelled to seek employment in a distant land would b e 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 Rev. 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 firs instance, to have recourse to their clergyman for such temporal aid as he had it in his power to give. —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Was 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 shoal 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 native land they had been accustomed to and re membered with so much affection.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped lie 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, which 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 ? (Hear, 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, enjoyel 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 thrt church had so far been most fruit ful.—(Flear, 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 how the result of the la bours of associations such as this.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord concluded by seconding the resolution. Mr. R. MANGLES, 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 interwoven with the prosperity of the colonies, are specially called upon to promote their moral and spiritual welfare." • The fourth resolution was as follows :—" 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 subscriptions: and donations from all classes in the city of London ; that Special Com mittees be formed in each parish or district ; and that the clergy and churchwardens be invited to act on the Committees, in their several parishes." Mr. Alderman COPELAND proposed the resolution, which having been carried, the usual vote of thanks was passed to the Lord Mayor, and the meeting separated. ladies. The LORD MAYOR took the chair shortly after one o'clock. After which the platiorm also became imme- diately crowded. Amongst the gentlemen assembled were the Bishop of London, Lord John Russell, Monckton Mines, MA'., Lord John Manners, the Bishop of Landaff, the Bishop of Jamaica, Archdeacon Manning, Alderman Copeland, &c. The proceedings of the day were commenced by the Lord Bishop of LONDON reading prayers, at the con elusion 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 cityiu 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- tore 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 front a very early period, be 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 us Euiigrants, to settle in those countries." That rcaolution •he thought might be objected to by some, and it might appear rather siny.jular 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 ous annually to their colonies, they were deficient in the means of public worship and instructif 41," a etatement 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 for their spiritual wel - lare ?--(Hear, hear.) And when he remembered that the national income of this vast empire amounted to the enormous sum of nearly two hunered millions ; when he looked around at this, the greatest metropolis in the world ; when he saw this meeting attended by the great merchants and bankers of the metropoli-, 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 remembered e n a d l t h h a i d h s , t h e was e Al m ighty permitted all th e s e blessin g s to fall upon this •naturally aatiu' and success ly himself, he happy land? Whea so many of his fellow countrymen were compelled to forego the blessings of peace and re ligion in their native soil for a distant colony, he wished t he could say that they a lwa y s carried out with them even necessary domestic com forts, but the y certainly were totally bereft of the blessing s of reli g ious consolation. He wished he could say o f this countr y 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 oonfessed with shame and sorrow, that in this particular they had as yet been sadly deficient. No doubt reasons might be given for this.; it might be said that the troubles of the Church were many, that it bad 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 severe, but rather take into consideration the great amount of respon sibility which had of late devolved upon the Church, by which she was prevented from sending the lighted torch of truth to the utmost limits of the earth, which she could easily have done but for those difficulties and in terruptions. However, societies such as the present, which might well be called the arms of the Church, were well calculated to remove all those obstacles, and spread the light of the gospel all over the world. He would call, then, upon all classes to assist those so cieties ; and, in doing se, they would be assisting the Church of which they were members. The Right Rev. Prelate then read an extract from a recent eommimica don received from the Bishop of Montreal, showing the great deficiency of missionaries in that Bishopric. HQ then went on to say, that as yet they had been able to send out to all their colonies only 300 missionaries, g wt rhaarsne greatly at t lr h ys e ti deficient, ea c fit o a n BI e it s : h .

AND JUMP LEGISLATION.—The public have good reason to be dissatisfied with the eagerness exhi bited by the Government to pass the ne-v Metropolitan Build ings Bill into a law. No good can possibly result from such unwise haste, and evils which might be anticipated and tßhueerklea3n,,d&c. &c. n 1 b 'W er edn b e a s t da y we it w fe a a s r rea w d e a third avoided, will most probably be produced.

Let us hope that the Upper House will slightest l.ouii(i in discussion. s s p i j o give the measure a more calm consideration, and allow of its points being discussed out of doors before it pass into a law. It is greatly to he feared, that passing the Bill in question t w ir as obje s e t t p , will have the serious effect of Postponing the much called for evision of the existing Act. --B u {.. STAINED GLASS.—Mr. Wilmahurst, in a paper lately read before the Freemason& of the church, observed, that , " upon the general introduction of classical architecture, we find very little stained glass was used for some time, and la mentable mistakes were comnimitt e d, suc h as re moving the mullions of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, in order to intro duce a window from a design by ~ West, which was painted by Jervais and Forrest, and the window in New College Chapel, Oxford, painted from Sir Joshua Reynolds's de sign, is exceedingly poor in effect, and quite inappropriate in character for the beautiful building in which it is placed ; but, on the other hand, with our better knowledge of these subjects, there is less excuse for the glaring absurdities per petrated at the present time, as, for instance, placing a Go thic window in the Roman church of St. George's, Hanover square.—The Builder.

Throughout the opera he never uttered a falsetto note. He possesses considerable power ; and - if he did not occasionally sing in his throat, he might take the highest rank in his profession. This throaty-singing however, is perhaps attributable to the nervousness in. separable from a first appearance. It was most 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, " Ferree, crudele estinguere," was magnificently given by Pasini, Signor Castiglione, and Fornasari, and was en thusiastically encored. Signor Benchich is a barytona 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 hypercritics have (in our opinion most unjustly) complained was in this character a help towards p - Tfection; 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 ltuy Gum.•a is a perfect triumph of art—it is equal to the Lear of John Kemble. The fine chorusses were beautifully given, end full jus tice was done to the fine accompaniments by the or chestra, under the judicious superintendence of Ban e , 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 were brought out in lull force, sots to produce the greatest effect as a whole. Nothing could be tuore musician-like than the manner in which Balfe conducted this opera. Castiglione, and Fornasari were called for at the fall of the curtain, and received the usual homage. The delightful ballet of Catarina, with Lucile Gratin as the heroine, and Louise TagliGiti as the, modele concluded the performances. The house was crowded with the elite of the beau monde.

ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.— nlionday afternoon an accident occurred on this line, which might have been attended with the most fatal results, It appears that the ens o'clock down goods train left the station at Woking half an hoar 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 blowiug ; indeed the guards say it blew a perfect her ' ricane which entirely impeded the progress of the train, vast as was its weight and bulk. The conductor of the engine of the fast train observing no signal given by the conductor of the goods train, ran into it, although It was broad daylight, and quite disabled the engine,. of whom, by the violence o f the collision, were thrown from their seats, and received some severe in eited amongst the passengers, many rendering it unfit for further service. Considerable alarm w as ex juries. Fortunately no lives were lost, which was rather wonderf u l. considering tile serious nature of the accident. The stokers and t'riengines escap e d unhurt. A pil ot eng i ne was dis patched f both d o trorn 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. [BE LATE MURDER IN ST. LUIEE'S.—On Tuesday Air. W. Baker held an inquest at the Curnberlaud's Head, City-road, en the body of Mary Murray, who died from the effects of injuries received at the bands of a labourer named Martin Jennings, now is custody on the charge of murder. A great number of witness's were exemined, but as their evidence applied only to facts which have already appeared, it is unnecessary to repeat it. This following additional lasts were elicited at the inquest :—Sarah Angehmk Ileeett, of George-yiud, said that she heard on th e morn i ng in question a loud cry of Martin. Martin. don't murder me." That ..ccurreti whilq witness was in, bed. She heard something like a fall under her window. Seine time alter she heard a person say. " The police are corning, thu woudui is dead." About fifteen minutes elap,ed trout the comumneement to the end of the affray. John Waldron said that he sdtv Jennings take hold of ee., erased by the hair of the head, and then strike her with his fist or hand on the face. Witness then laid hold of the collar of Jennings, and pulled him from the deceased, Mr. John Courtney. surgeon, of 5, Finsbury-terrace, said that he had made a post short en examination of the body of deceased. On removing the covering of the skull a small bruise presented itself on the frontal bone, over the right eye. The vessels of the brain were gorged with blood. At lelexrc_epit t bt ha li t ev it e w t a h s a r t at t i h te e r dneio,,ertas vettaseduileadritrhoanili the ordinary.effusion E 4 least two ounces of blood were effused into the base of the brain. and extended down the spinal cord.

The jury returned a verdict of "Manslaughter against Martin Jennings," Sir Thomas, Ladv, and Miss Lethbridge lave arrived at Mivart's HMO from heir seat, Sandhill-park, Semersetshire. ROYAL. MARINES. —Lieutenant Arnold has been g 4, sotto(' out of that corps on half-pay, and appointed to an adjutantcy in one of the Scotch regiments lit militia. A great promotion, it is expected, will shortly take place in the ccrps of Maxims by the re tirement of a number of old officers upon full pay. It is also ex pected that one or two of the ccinmandie,ts of divisisns will retire. WooLWIeH.—CONVICTS FOR NEW SOUTH WALES,— The Lord Auckland, (government transport, for the conveeance sf male convicts to New South Wales, is now lying off the Arsenal at Woolwich. A. convict guard alter Majesty's 65th Regiment of Foot, under the command of Lieutenant Gordon, will embark from the Royal Arsenal on board the same vessel, far a passage out to New South Wales, where the regiment is ordered to do duty. TEE CONVICT Wicgs.—What appear to be the rea sons for doubting the sanity of Wicks ? There is grinned to believe that in infancy his brain was injuriously affected by disease. A distortion of the eyes, accompanied with great weakness of the optic Nerves, re ev ,i s known to have attended hint from early childhood. Mon lately ee suffered Itom a concussion of the brain , which, even a f ter -- recovery from its imm ediate effects, exhibited permanent results in strange eccentricity of conduct , Ever since his apprenticeship he seems to have cherished the motion that his master had taken him for the sake of the ten pounds premium paid when he was inden tured, For this supposition no real ground existed; and yet, so mete pletely • ad It got possession of the youth's imagination, that in Sep tember, 1143, under its influence, he attempted to kill himself' by swallowing laudanum. Frustrated in this design, he still brooded over his imaginary wrongs, and, while he was in this state of mind, the deduction by his master of eleven shillings erem his wages, to make up for an equal amount of money beinging to the master which the apprentice had either lost he himself alleged) or em bezzled (as the other suspected), breee t Wicks' resentment to that pitch under the impulse of which he devised and. accomplished the assassivation of his fancied oppressor. To all this may be added the utter apathy that charecterised the miseratee convict throughout the trial. Neither the impearaece of his mother hi the witness-box, nor the summing up of the presiding judge, nor the period of suspense during the copseltation of the jury, nor the announcement of the adverse verdict, nor even the pronouncing by the judge of the aw sentence orthe law, inovedlini in the least; but, from first to lie maintained t h e some stolid, and, as it were, inanimate in untie.--Th• , d _ inte u rvi E ew i s t wt 3 ti l iS A ir j l E tib s e . r r t 7 , e s l, ) 1 ,- ,E t i e i rday A. .. r RE. * , . . • -.. ic Verdi's op,ra * ot ilrzeun, AL.> 1.-pr.- ented last, h for the purpose" of in fr(i.dtielnitothrr4 frii4 -- ' ? • •fOr'"•'+' lll,- Atrar ~,.. public -fa vour to an E ng li sh audience.

At an ever ing. tceeting i f 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 effort 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. 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 I ecuuiary 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 selectee him whenever great difficulties were to be surmounted, and he never failed in succeeding be) and 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 cenverted ene mies into friends., Tbat it is -the-.opinion of this meeting, that by Sir Henry Fottinger, if•appointed her Majesty's plenipotentiary to the Government of the United States of America, the disputes 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.

Your Committee else recommend that the .Mouniouth. shire Railway Bill be removed from Group No. 47, and be placed in Group No. 48.

Your Committee, having now disposed of most of the Railway Bills referred to them, have arrived at the considera tion of the various railways which it is proposed should ter minate in, and in the immediate vicinity of, the metropolis. 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 grounds on which they have come to this conclusion. They crave further instructions in this matter. _ The Railway Bills to which your Committee more imme diately refer are as follows Easteni.Counties (Tottenham and Farringdon-street).

That the day was glorious, the walking," l e k a i i d i g n , l ' i ' re h r a s d a cros , 'd immense, the ground all that could be desired. and the atmospheric temperature just what would be wished by the men engaged in such an arduous struggle, are truisms which none who went abroad on Tuesday, the 17th of March, can dispute. At Bedfont, then, starting from about the thirteenth mile-atone, towards the twelfth, in the direction of Hounslow, at twenty minutes to tour the start took place, Powell receiving half a minute's advantage. Of this stipulated privilege he made 116 yards, ere his antago nist strode away from the starting-point. The first, mile was turned by Powell about 60 yards in advance of Bradshaw ; but here we must note an error of the Hampton man, who walked beyond the terminus line some four yards, thereby losing eight. The tittle of Bradshaw's first mile wart V mi nutes 12 seconds ; that of his competitor 8 minutes 22 seconds, giving margin for his extra ground covered by mis take. And here a word about " time." Walking and run ning matches seem especially obnoxious to this mystifica nreottiernet in view, bu t that tio n .

Fairer walkers, tee and heel, than both the men, it has never fallen to our lot to behold. The victor was all his friends could desire, and the defeated man lost no credit for honesty or gameness. In the third mile up some blockhead turned his cart into the road, so as to cause Powell to swerve, and leave his straight course, but, nevertheless, his chance was out, Bradshaw walking in, within himself, a clear first by some forty yards. The betting at starting was 5 to 4 on the Hammersmith hero, but so soon as they were off it sunk to evens.
