The objects of this Association are twofold—the Insurance of Ships and the Advancing of Money by way of Loan, secured by mortgage oil shipping. Each branch affords its own share of individual profit ; but the two operations, judiciously combined, will evidently be pro ductive of highly remunerative results to the proprietary. The immense fortunes known to have been realised by individuals who have advanced money upon the security of shipping, with an assignment of the policy of assurance, afford the best guarantee of the soundness of the principle upon which the Association is founded. The almost incredible number of British shipping under mortgage, shown by the books of the Registrai-General of Customs, exhibits a wide field for the operations of the Association. The great bulk, if not all of these loans, have been obtained upon exorbitant terms by the small owner from his more wealthy neighbour, who may look rather to the obtaining possession of the vessel by foreclosure than to the eligibility of the security as an investment. The Association will advance a sum of money, in no case exceed ing two-thirds of the vessel's value, upon the report of its surveyors ; which loan shall be secured by mortgage upon the whole ship and earnings by freight, the policy of insurance effected with the Asso ciation remaining in its hands until the termination of the period for which the loan has been granted. Among the many advantages it holds ant, the following are not he least: To the Shipowner, the certainty of obtaining, at a moderate rate, and without injury to his credit, pecuniary assistance when he most requires it. _ . The opportunity of relieving himself from mortgages bearing an exorbitant interest, and effecting them with the Association at au equitable rate. To the Shipbuilder, particularly when building for the market, either at home or in our colonies, by placing him in a position less dependent upon immediate sale at an unfavourable season. To both, a participation in the profits of the Association by be ming shareholders. The Association embodies the following advantages for its Pro prietary : The immediate certainty of securing a very large number of poli cies of insurance, since, although insurances will be taken without loans, no loan will be granted unless the policy be effected with the Association; hence the double profit which will arise from these two sources. A total absence of risk to the shareholders. • It may be added that an extensive connexion has been already formed in the leading ontports, and insurance business to a large amount secured for the Association. The same machinery sufficing for the working of the double prin ciple here exhibited, the expenses of management will not exceed those of any ordinary marine Insurance-office. The necessary Parliamentary notices for an Act of Incorporation have been duly given in the Gazettes of November, 1845. The whole sum required for the preliminary expenses has been advanced by the London members of the Committee of Management. Applications for shares, in the usual form, may be made to the Committee of Management, and addressed to any of the above-named officers of the Association, to the solictors, or to any of the following agents, from whom more detailed prospectuses may be had :—Wm.

Encouraging and satisfactory as all former Annual Reports have been,-the Directors are much gratified, .on this the tenth anniver sary of the Institution, to have to present to the members a state ment of the business of the past year, far surpassing in amount every previous one, and exhibiting, as the Directors confidently believe, an extent of proSperity which is unexampled in the history of Life As surance Societies. During the past year, 911 policies have been issued, making an in crease of 180 beyond the former year, and producing on annual in come of 16,3351. 13s. 7d., and during the same period the number of proposalsdeclined have amounted to 113, the lives not having been deemed eligible for assurance. This large yearly increase of the business of the Institution - has been effected, notwithstanding the competition it has to contend with, from many new as well as old-established offices; a convincingproof that the more the benefits of the mutual principle of assurance (on which this Sodiety is based) is known, the more it is approved. The total annual income now amounts to the sum of 70,8191. 14s. sd. The accounts of the institution, made up to the 20th November last, have been subjected to the usual audit, from which it will appear that the capital stock of the Society on that day amounted to the sum of 241,4601. 13s. 3d., being by far the largest annual increase which has hitherto been made. By the deaths of members since the last report, claims amounting to the sum of 21,2301. 2s. have become payable to their representa tives or nominees, and which have been duly discharged ; this amount paid to the representatives of deceased members fully de monstrates the benefit of life assurance ; most of the members whose deaths are referred to, though in health at the time of effecting the assurance, did not live long enough to contribute more than a small proportion of the sum paid to their respective families, who are now deriving the benefit of the provision thus made. The death of six annuitants has caused the sum of 1,6871. to fall to the credit of Class 3. The next division of profits will be made in November, 1847, and the Directors have no doubt that the result will prove perfectly satis factory to the members. In the early part of this year; in consequence of the large increase that had taken place during the two former years in the number of proposals, and the great accumulation of general business consequent thereupon, presented weekly for the consideration of the Directors, it became obvious that it was impossible longer to get through in a satisfactory manner, all matters pressing upon them at one weekly meeting ; and to relieve this pressure, and to afford greater con venience to persons attending to make assurance's, a second weekly board, to be held every Friday, was adopted. In conformation of the necessity and expediency of holding an additional weekly meeting, the Directors refer to the extraordinary increase of business since its adoption. In conclusion the Directors confidently trust that by a perse verance in the course hitherto pursued to insure the stability of the institution, and which has led to the successful results herein de tailed, the members may have the satisfaction to witness a long coil tilmance of that prosperity which has throughout so signally marked its progress.

The earliest copy of the work has been but a few days issued, and the following reviews have already appeared in the leading metropo litan journals:— SUN, December 27, 1845. This work has now reached the forty-seventh annual edition, and, to the credit of Mr. Kelly, the proprietor, who has spared no expense or labour in the compilation, keeps progress with the times, and marks, more than any slmihtr publication, the great changes which have taken place, not only in our trade and commerce, but in the appearance and 'extent of this vast metropolis. No other nation could furnish materials for such a work, and to these is the compiler partly indebted for such a mass of useful information, useful, not to a few elasses only, but to the whole community. There is not one class in the community to which some of the directions are not Ab solutely necessary. It extends to 2,074 pages, printed in a close, lint clear and bold type, and is accompanied by a beautiful, minute, and as far as we have had an opportunity of judging, a correct map Of all the streets of London, with the names of each distinctly marked. The work does great credit to Mr. Kelly, and we have no doubt that the excellent manner in which it is prepared, and the infonnatibn which it conveys, will insure for it universal approbation and com plete success.

It is only necessary to say of this established work, that it sustains the high reputation for accuracy and comprehensiveness which the fortnervolumes, is Mr. Kelly's hands, at once obtained for It. In fact, to all . London residents this annual has been an indispens able Volume. lii the present year several improvements have been added. TIMES, January 9,184 G..

This is the 47th annual publication of the work, which is now so fully established in public estimation, for the accuracy and multk plicity of its intelligence, requisite for every class and for every day, that to be without it is almost an imputation on the common sense of all persons connected with the trade of London or the common business of life. MORNING HERALD, December 27,•1845. This excellent work, the 47th edition of which has just reached us, keeps pace with the commercial requirements of the times. Th " Post Office Directory" of some twelye years since, and the " Pos Office Directory" for the coming year present a remarkable contras Then it was confined to a meagretlist of names, comprised within a circle of two or three miles, and might have been put very conveniently into one's coat pocket. Year after year it has increased iri size, and added various and valuable stores of information to its columns ; its hundreds of pages have grown into thousands, and it now embraces the metropolis and its suburbs, from north to south, east and west; and comprises within its voluminous pages of information (limn absolutely indispensable to the merchant and tradesman) a " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a " Commercia Directory," a "Trades' Directory," a "Law Directory," a "Con Directory," a "Parliamentary Directory," a "Postal Directory,', a " City Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," a " Banking ' Directory," and a variety of other copious lists of Information; the mere transcription of which would occupy considerable time, Its list of "Provincial Inns" extends bver 31 pages of three columns eack ; its "Post Office London Official Directory" over 48 pages; twenty-eight of which are of four and twenty of two columns each its "Street Directory" 472 pages of three columns each; i "Commercial and Professional Directory" 504 pages of two colnmn each ; its "Trade Directory" 623 pages of three columns each ; it " Law Directory " 64 pages ; " Court Directory " 110 pages " Parliamentary Directory " 36 pages ; " Postal Directory " (mos elaborately compiled) 67 pages, &c. This portion of the work h been much enlarged and improved. It now supplies us with th hour of delivery of the London letters at each town and village ii the United Kingdom at which there is a Post-office or Receiving house, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes a each place ; also the distance of each from the post town throng which the London letters are transmitted. •We also observe that th valuable Map of London, which has for some years past accompanie the volume, and which has been frequently much improved, is ren dcrcd still more valuable in the present edition. The names of eac street are most distinctly printed, and we hesitate not to state the it is one of the best Maps of London extant. The Work is printed in a clear bold type. We can scarcely think it requires special rei commendation, fln* no man who really has business to transact can well do without it. MORNING CHRONICLE, Jan. 17, WV. The annual volume just published of this laborious and valuabl work deserves the same meed of approbation which has been se de servedly bestowed upon its predecessors. In mere size, it is con siderably larger than any of them, not only by the introduction o new information, but in consequence of the yearly growth of the me tropolis, to the avocations and whereabouts of whose inhabitants it i intended to form the " directory." The enormous multitude of fact. which are condensed in the bulky volume before us is really over whelming ; ,yet they are not more- than are requisite to make the dwellers in our overgrown city dttly . acquainted with one another's business and residences. The facts are presented in the same availablq form, and with the same attention to accuracy and recentness of formation which Characterise the volume for 1845, and rendered it a model of perfection as a directory. We observe some useful Pali ditions to the contents of the present publication, especially in the. section devoted to the I'ost•onice arrangements, which are so rapidly, becoming extended and complicated under the double impulse o 4 new railways and the penny postage.

The premiums are based upon data derived from the. most recent and authentic sources, present i ng a moderate and equitably-albted scale. One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With this view, four-fifths of the profits, arising from Policies affected by parties on the terms of participation, will be divided every three years, after the first five years, among ,those who assure fer the whole term of life. The sum so divided among the Assured to be applied to the reduction of the annual _premium, or added to the sum enured as bonus, or paid In present value, at the optiotiof the Assured. Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of one-half only of the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate •of 5 per cent. per annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the arroar of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a full parti cipation of the profits. For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the whole of life, without participation In the profits, a scale has been • adopted, which is as moderate as it can be tendered consistently with the interests of the Company. The Assured may at all times borrow an antount equal to the value of the policy, on its security. In all the transactione of the Company the utmost liberality will be exercised. Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the assesed afforded by the most respectable established companies. • A Table of Premiums will shortly be published. TONTINE ANNUITIES. This Company, In submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to the public, is influenced by the belief that there arc many persons, who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of case and affluence as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this mode of investment ;—by which they will secure a large remunera tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company -during their own lives or the lives of their nominee. The following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine An nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec tive nominees, being of an ago to enter the class in which the an nuity granted is 61. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity but l, as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, each of whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life ; but as they re spectively die eff, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re ceived will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefit of the shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of • subscribers or their nominees. This mode of investment will place it in the power of almost every individual, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately which in many in ap- propriating a comparatively small sum of mo ne y , stances would be otherwise uselessly ex fended, to secure ineepee_ yea dence and comfort in theirdeclining rs. Parents may also by these means provide for their children. Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations.

An immense smoturt of infor mation orthe greatest importance to altin any way ~000,,..tcn-witt the 'metropolis. It comprises among other information, an " Official Directory," a " Sheet Directory," a " Commercial Directory," a "Trades' Directory," n " Law Directory," a "Court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a "City Directory," a "Postal Direc tory," a "Conveyance'Directory," and a " Bank Directory." Under these various diVisions Will be found masses of information, com bining the attributes of accuracy and completeness. The amount of labour bestowed on the compilation of this work, must necessarily have been very great, and nothing but a liberal pi tronage from the public could remunerate the enterprising proprietors for their outlay and labour. .The" Post-office London Directory" is singularly cheap, considering the nature and quantity of the information it contains. It extends to no resver than 2,000 large closely-printed pages, in double and treble colnnins. All things considered, we look upon it as the cheapest, as assuredly it is the most valuable and useful, annual work which emanates from the press of England. The map accompanying it appears to us to be much improved ; it is certainly squally excellent and perfect. WEEKLY DISPATCH, Dec. 28, 1845. This colossal guide to the great metropolis is a striking illustration of tha results of British perseverance properly directed, and British capital judiciously employed. Fer many years the French " Al manack of Fifty Thousand Addresses" was considered one of thet wonders of the world; but the Messrs. Kelly have achieved a work l which may be aptly termed a won d er u p on wonders. Large i though the volume be, the mass of information contained in it is t traly surprising ; and every department is arranged with so much care, judgment, and accurate discrimination, that the business of, reference to its pages is as plain and simple as to a dictionary or' lexicon, whose scheme is alphabetical. We have, in this volume, "Official", " Street," " Commercial," " Trades" " Law," " Court," " Parliamentary," " Postal," " City," " Conveyance," and " Bank ing Directories." But these heads only comprise a portion of the information contained in the work. There are other departments which will be found invaluable to the commercial public. The fol lowing extract from the preface should be quoted :—" The advan tages possessed by the proprietor are of no ordinary character; the most important being the means placed at his disposal through the favour of. her Majesty's Postmaster-General. The General Post letter-carriers, under the direction of his Lordship, collect, each in his own district, the information from which the volume is compiled. Te ensure accuracy in such a book, the collection of the information should be simultaneous ; and how completely this is effected, is proved by the fact that as intelligent letter-carrier performs within twenty-four hours all the duties annually required of him for the purposes of the Post Office London Directory." We need not add any recommendation of this work ; its reputation is established on a solid basis. BRITANNIA, December 27, 1845. This wonderful annual continues to keep pace with the times, fast as they move. it now numbers upwards of 2,000 closely printed pages, this immense mass of matter being so judiciously classified and arranged that any item of It can be picked out with out the loss of a minute expended in the search. From the con nexion of the Proprietor with the Post-office, he is enabled to collect his information from the most authentic sources, and (a great advantage) to combine it simultaneously. Some objection has been made to the letter-carriers being employed for this service ; but, independent of all other considerations, it is certain that the Post office must be greatly advantaged by the' publication, both film letters being directed more accurately, with this book as a guide, and from its always being at hand ready fer reference in cases of doubt. The volume has all the merits of its predecessors ; displays, like them, the utmost care in every department ; and as a work of reference for the merchant, trader, or any person engaged in busb ness in London, leaves nothing to be desired. It is one of the most remarkable examples of great industry, intelligence, and capital being successfully employed in the production of a work for facili tating the operations of business and extending trading intercourse, that the age, fertile as it is in ingenious inventions, affords. Of its kind, it is as near perfection as it seems possible for any work to be brought. FOURTEENTH EDITION of the SILENT FRIEND on Human Frailty, with Coloured Engravings.

We have so often had to bear our testimony to the extraordinary merits of this most laborious compilation, its fulness and accuracy of information, and its consequent value to every one who," lives, and moves, and has his being" in London, that all we need now do is to state that, excellent as were the preceding volumes, this one has received various improvements, which add largely to that pre vious excellency. It is a work of immense care and labour, and of corresponding utility. RAILWAY HERALD, Jan. 1846.

FOR FINSBURY. :Last evening a sane, got up by the friends and ad mirers' of Thomas Duncotnbe, Esq , the MeMber for Finebury, arm in honour of this gentleman, previous to the cemmenceinent of the 'Parliamentary ession, was held in the large room of the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, 'Fdeneas Wakley, Esq., M.P., in the chair. At six o'elecd;., the hour advertied for the proceedings to commence, about five hundred persons sat down to tea, of.which a considerable number were females. The real business of the evening, however, did not comiuence till the consumption of the edibles, which occupied the company till nearly half-past :even o'clock, Amongst the gentlemen pr. sent, besides the Chairman and the honoured guest of the evening, we notified Mr. Christie, I Mr. Feargus O'Conner, Mr. Cooper, the Chartist poet, and other . gentlemen connected with the Liberal movement. On the tables being removed, the room was thrown (pen to t . e public at a s low charge of admission, and im mediately after it was filled to excess by parties princi pally belonging to the working ch.sses. The CHAIRMAN, on order having been obtained, rose to introduce the bnsiness for ivhich the meeting had been called together. He said that he was sorry to say that -they had beet) disappointed in not :having the company of several gentlemen whose presence had been expected on the present occasion. There were three gentlemen particularly from whom Mr. Barrett, the:secretary, had received notes of apology, 6xe„sing their absence. The first was from Mr. Charles Dickens, who said that he was unavoidably engaged elsewhere, and could not pos sibly be present. The next was from Mr. Douglas Jerrold, who-stated that it would haVe given him real pleasure to attend the meeting. to do honour to the public character of Mr. Duncombe, bet - that he was un able to do so from being obliged to be at the ofilee of a journal, that- he hoped would 'prove another advozate of I the rights of the people. The third was from Mr. Mazzini, who intimated that he had fully expected to be I able to attend, but he had been unexpectedly called out on business, and prevented doing so, otherwise it would have been his moral duty to be present to.pay respect to that gentleman (Mr. Duncombe), for vindicating his (Mr. Mazzines) character last year, from - the attacks of the Home Secretary (Sir James Graham) in his place in Parliament, in relation to the shameful and un-English practice of opening private let ters for the purposes of foreign despots. The letter having been read, the Hon. Gentleman went on to state that the special business of the meeting would come on in a short time, but the committee who had got up the present assembly, had seized on the opportunity which it presented of introducing a series of toasts, sentiments, or resolutions, or whatever else they might call them, illustrative of popular rights. The first, which would be responded to by Mr. M`Grath, was— - " The people, the only legitimate source of political power ; may they speedily attain to that position in the state which would enable . them to apply their legislative functions to the welfare and protection of the whole community." Mr. M'GRATH responded in brief but appropriate terms. The CHAIRMAN then rose to introduce the special sentiment of the night, which was— " Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, Esq., the eloquent, un tiring, and incorruptible advocate of universal justice, and may his life be long and happy, and his fame im mortal." On this question he would but occupy two minutes, after which he would introduce the honoured guest of the even ing, Mr. Duncombe, to their notice. Before doing so ' it would be hie pleasing duty to occupy their time w hil e he spake half-a-dozen sentences. In the first place, he asked them to allow him to thank the committee for the honour they had done him in inviting him to take the chair on the occasion, and to thank them (the meeting), for the way in which they had responded to that reconamen dation. He did not do so from some idle feeling of ap pearing at a public meeting, to obtain any special . notice or consideration, but because he considered it to be his imperative duty to use every exertion when called upon for the public good.—(Cheers.) :When in vited, therefore, to presided over the present meeting, he came not only without any hesitation, but with glad and hilarious feelings, in order to give his (Mr. Wakley's) public testimony as to Mr. Duncombe's conduct in 'Par liament, and to state, that on all occasions he had showed himself the bold, sincere, faithful, and: unflinching ad vocate and champion- of their cause.—(Cheers.) And lie (the Chairnian) as one of that House, humble as be was, had no other wish than to follow in that gentle man's footsteps—(Loud cheers)—and most cordially and unequivocally did he approve, and would second, the choice they had made.—(Cheers.) It has been the fate of the people of this country, to suffer from the want of union and proper guidance. They ought to have in Parliament a man who would reflect the image of the people well.—(llear, hear.) One who knew their wants, end who could direct their movements, and enunciate their will with firmness, honesty, and independence, and such a masi—a man of ability and faithfulness— is Mr. Duncombe. Under such a guidance they could not fail. Hitherto the workieg classes had been a rope of sand—a bundle of sticks - Untied and cast over the length and breadth of the land ; but if they were only to a , sort their rights in a • united and energetic manner, he was persuaded their demands would not be refused.—(llintr, hear.) He had seer. Mr. Duncombe under the most trying circumstances, and had never seen him fail.-- , -(Loud cheers.) But his energies always seemed to rise with the emergency of the occasion.— (Cheers.) He was ever ready to fight in a good cause, and' he was such a glutton, that do what they would they never could take the out fight of him.—(Laughter and cheers.) Boldness was only one of his qualities; but in addition to this, in his heart there was a home for every genuine sympathy and feeling. He loved the people ; and his object was to do them all the good within the reach of his power. Mr. Duncombe, over since his introduction into public life, had gone onward in the right direction ; ever y s t e p had tended towards, and not in opposition to the people. After some fur ther observations of a complimentary character, the Hon. Gentleman concluded by putting the sentiment from the chair. Mr. DUNNING, having briefly addressed the meeting, in terms highly eulogistic'of Mr. Duncombe, read an ad dress from the United Trades Association to that gen tleman ; also a copy of the same from the females con nected with the same body, emblazoned in gold on white satin. Mr. DUNCOMBE then rose to address the meeting, and was received with loud and long continued cheering. He said, upon that occasion, he could assure them he felt great gratification in standing before such a large body of his fellow-countrymen—men actuated by the love of liberty, and whose only desire was to secure a redress of the grievances under which they laboured. When he looked and saw himself surrounded by men actuated by the love of liberty—when he saw that large room crowded by the honest sons of industry and toil, called there to honour so humble an individual as him self, he felt overpowered by anxiety and fear. Enter taining this feeling, that the honour bestowed was far greater than his merits.—(No, no.) He rejoiced to see his Hon. Friend and colleague in the chair, and felt grateful for the manner in which he had been received on the occasion.* He rejoiced, beCaue they had fought together in the House of Commons on behalf of the people's rights, and be hoped they would yet live to triumph together.—(Cheers.) There was, therefore, no favour or respect which they could pay to him, bat what must be equally extended to Mr. AValtley. He thought they would agree with hint that it would have been better, on the eve of Parliament meeting, for them to have met in public assembly to express an opinion on the g reat question of the day, without reference to indiv i duals. They would have been more usefully engaged discuss ingin the state of the country , and t he state of public affairs, than in paying court to such a humble n(I iv(d ua i as himself.—(No, no.) lie knew there existed a strong imp impression abroad that they were to have great things in the Queen's speech to-morrow. He thought those who entertained such a feeling would be wofully de ceived.—(Bear, hear.) At all events, past experience led him to a different conclusion from those who ex• pected much from that quarter. The speech would, a s was usual with such royal productions, be full of Lay s _ permitted to rery—confusion worse confounded. He had not been at would turn Ministerial or Tory dinners, to learn the contents of the speech, but if any individual might be pro phecy, he would predict it a ll productions.—•(Hear, h ear .) ll Ma jesty would set out with informing out like Her houses of Parliament, that she had geat very much during the aututilmant meeting them again, and pleasure ure tw in o that she had found Europe r uncommonly she had enjoyed herself her al continental only e,thterui though h ; she believed there was_ a a America was growing great er is u deficiencyd e (L rude—(Loud u d i c a h cheers)—that t t h a at England, crop of Ireland ; and that the potato crop of England, though a little better, was still but indifferent in result —(Wear, hear)—that the manufacturing and agricul tural interests had got to loggerheads ; and that in this state of matters she looked to the wis3om of Parliament for an adjustment of all differences.—(Loud laughter and Icheers.) That was something like the speech Abe would make. Other persons might think that she would make allusion to the Ministerial chops and changeS that had recently taken plate, but healid net think she vvotifd meddle with- them. Least said was soonest, mended and on that motto he had no doitht she would s see it ru,st expedistit 'to act. Explanations would no doubt be made in due course, of the recent Ministerial shuffle ; but if correct information was wanted of Ne',, at had taken place at the palace, there was one Perfs a who might have supplied it ; he meant the boy , , ;Jones.— (Loud taught: r.) In that case, no doubt, h --e4'Would have reported that Sir Robert Peel had called on her Majesty, an 1 stated that he believed that fam i ne overtake the country—that the n°4 4 . 0 or e ‘v:,as about to e i ) was bad, and: that something must be done to meet the state of things. ale could not get his colleagv.,..s, to agr i t. with him in the measures he thought calm-114:yd to meet the exigencies, and, therefore,,he waited or., het lujesty, to iutirnate: the position he was place i ii He, therefore, woul d resign. On her Majes%v asking hi s a dvice, who she should send for, he,.uld say Lord John Ru ss e ll. 1 Her Majesty takes hi;;;,t l d v i cc, and sends for Lcr d ,John. Ilia Lordship wait,; on her, and is commission ed to form a Ministry. At the end of ten days the N oble Lord M returns (as her Meaty ST aspects) with his Cabinet com-i pleted, when it is found lib is in a worse position than the previous Minister. His p dvice is also asked, and he in turn advises her Majesty ;to send for Sir Robert Peel. — ) .1 " oer Parliamentary guests ; may their sympathies be in accordance with the aspirations of their tentepre , suited brethren—their efforts to serve the people in the Commons House of Parliament, result in the destructi . da of class legislation ; and may they long live to esije l y their reward in the gratitude and kindly feaing of millions whom their patriotism shall have contributed to emancipate." Mr. CHRISTIE, M.P., said he was sorry, also, there were not more members of the House of Commons pre sent, on whose behalf to return thanks. He could asktre them that it gave him great pleasure to receive the cation to attend that meeting, and he felt very grateful for having been honoured with that invitation. He came there to do honour to him whom in their invitation they had appropriately named the people's champion ; and perhaps they would permit him, as well as their Hon. Chairman, to tell his experience of their guest. He had now for four years had the opportunity of observing Mr. Duncombe's conduct in Parliament, where he tried to judge of men and measures for himself ; end he always found him foremost in defending the rights of the people, and trying to extend the people's power and privileges—(Cheers)—always ready to protect the poor and friendless from oppression ; always ready to assist any other Member of the House of Commons in his endeavours to achieve any object which it was de sirable to attain—(Cheers)—giving always au example of energy to the apathetic, of courage to the timid, and single-mindedness to the trimmers.—(Hear and cheere.) Special allusion had been made to his recent memor able exertions against that power which, he would not say was possessed, but which was exercised by the Secretary of State, in examining their correspondence. There was a letter read that night from an individual of whose great virtues he could speak from personal knowledge. That individual came to this country driven by tyranny from his native land, and he hoped to find refuge from the oppressors. But ho was mistaken. He found, to his surprise, that all his secrets weremade known to his oppressors in his native land througr the power exercised by the Secretary of State in opening his letters, and detailing them to that foreign state.--e ("Shame !") When he found this, he went to the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Duncombe,) as any one who was oppressed would go ; and they all remembered hie exertionsin Parliament on that subject.—(Cheers.) lie regretted that those exertions were not attended with success. But the fault was not his, and the disgrace lay with the Government which retained the exercise of the power.—(Hear.) There was another thing in which he sympathised with the lion. Member for Finsbury, and in which he went along with him—he meant his views as to amending the state of the representation. He agreed with an Hon. Gentleman; who spoke very ably, that the result of the Reform Bill was a mockery and a cheat—(Cheers)-and he hoped that the t lon.Member for Finsbury would give an opportunity iu the coming ses sion for at least nttctnpting to obtain more power for the Fople in the choice of their representatis es.—(Cheers.) Ile did not come there to give pledges, hat he might say that he was prepared in the House of Commons to en d.avotir, in the words of the resolution, to destroy class legislation (Great cheering)—to destroy class-legislation by giving more power to the people and less to the dukes in the electionsby having larger constituencies, a much wider distribution of the franchise, and giving the poor voter, whose circumstances might make him de- pendent on the rich and the great, the protection of the ballot.—(Great cheering.) . The r, maining toasts were respectively as follows : " A speedy restoration of John Frost, Zephaniah Williams William Jones, and William Phis, and all other political exiles, to their country, their famines, and friends. " The men of intellect and of heart—Charles Dickens, Douglas Jerrold, Eugene Sue, Thomas cooper, and others—who have given free utterance to the aspirations and the thoughts that vibrate in the minds of many who have, with the eloquence of truth, aroused attention to the wrens and the sufferings endured by their fel i,,w• men ; who have denotfneed clearly end emphatically all who are leagued to do a people evil ; and who have evoked, in many an hitherto apathetic breast, au earnest desire to promote the accomplishment of justice, or to aid the advancement of knowledge and of truth." " Mr., Feargus O'Connor, the fearless assertor of labour's rights, the uncompromising denouncer of its wrongs." " Thomas Wakley, Esq., M.P., Finsbury's able repre sentative. Long may he live to witness the people free from bone-crushing poor-law unions ; and many thanks to him for the able and efficient manner in which he has presided over the meeting."; These were responded to by Mr. Wakley, Mr. Cooper, Mr. O'Connor, and Mr. Doyle, after which the meeting broke up.

With a hero so identified with an age affording such delightful materials for the historical novelist, in the hands of a writer who has already proved himself so capable of infusing into his narrative the spirit of a past century, we have every reason to expect a work of a very superior description. Masomc BALL.—A ball for the benefit of the asylum established for the relief of aged and decayed free masons, was given last night at the Freemasons ; Tavern, and - there were between 300 and 400 people present. Every facility to enjoyment was afforded by the Committee of Management, the members of which were busily employed during the evening in attending to the comforts of the sub scribers, and in promoting the general , festivity. Many of the " brothers" present wore their masonic insignia; and the effect of the variegated colours, and glittering order, belonging thereto, gave a gay and agreeable aspect to the scene. Adams's band played a long list of quadrilles, waltzes, and polkas, and the company danced with zaalous and untiring activity.

PrircE an. i-~ (Loud laughter.) Such were the recent Ministerial changes, evincing the greatest imbecility. These changes, he was told, had occasioned considerable excitsinent is the metropolis, alth oug h it h a d c reated scarcelyliny no tice in the part of the country where he had been recently residing. Whatever excitement had existd here he hoped had now subsided, for such shuffling was not worthy a moment's consideration. The only difference was, that Stanley had gone out, and Gladstone had succeeded. Although last year Gladstone had resigned without any one knowing the reason, although he took two hours to explain why he did so. llis acceptance of office now did not require such a lengthened explanation.—(Laughter and cheers.) • He would .i .nitzleeupT their time longer with these ministerial 'f choppings" and changes. The Hon. Gentleman then went on to explain, that he did not believe that Sir Robert Peel intended to repeal the corn laws, but merely that, he intended to relax pro tection a little—to gently unloosen the screw, and let the country gentlenien down quietly—(eheers)— a course that he (Hr. Duncoznbe) alneed them to submit to as their resistance would be in vain. The Hon: Gentleman having declared that he would al ways stand up for the right.; of the labouring classes, support the principle of a fair day's wages fur a fair day's work, and their political enNarehisement, con cluded a very eloqum: address by calling on them to make use of every exertion to secure their rights, which as freemen it was their duty to demand, and as English men their birthright to enjoy. (The Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst loud and long• continued cheering.) The CHAIRMAN next gave— . " The People's Charter ; a lever by which almost a prostrate nation can be raised to prosperity and happi ness, because alone it insures to all, the liberty which must prove a security against wrong." The sentiment was responded to by Mr:CnerticE, bn, at some length spoke in support of the points of the Charter, which he described as a working-man's ques ; and one to be obtained alone by the exertions of the labouring classes. He did not agree with Mr. Dun combo that any support was likely to be obtained from the members of the League, should they succeed in ob taining a repeal of the corn-laws. The next toast was— , . • " The National United Trades Association, for the protection of industry, and . , the employment of labour ; may their efforts to improve the condition of the ope rative be crowned with success.' Mr.. lionsoN briefly responed to this toast. " The Chartist Co-operative Land Society ; may the success that has hitherto attended it, mark its future carom,". was next proposed. from the Chair ; and spoke to by Mr. WHEELER, who stated, that ' at present this Society numbered from five thousand to six thousand members, though it had only been six months in exist ance, and had accumulated 5,000 t. The Chairman then gave— - _--., _----.--_ race, who will show the houses.
