The SECOND QUINQUENNIAL BONUS (averaging 30 per cent. on the premiums paid) has just been declared on the Life Policies effected at this office prior to 1843, and the holders of them have the option of a reduction in their future premiums, or an equivalent amount added to the sum assured. The particulars in each case have been furnished to the parties interested. On all new Policies one half the premiums may remain on interest, if required, for five years, and in the event of a death happening within that period, the arrears then due will be deducted from ths claim. The Directors beg to remind their friends whose Fire Insurances become due at Midsummer, that no extra charge is made for the transfer of Policies; they may be effected for any period of time, and if for seven years, the premium and duty will only be charged for six.

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, or human disappointments and their ways of relief. it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in theiriseveral healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.

N. lon. 10 deg. 32 min W. " From the time of leaving-Cork to the 19th of June the squadron have been exercising newly-raised men in reefing, furling, making and shortening sail, general quarters, firing at a target, &c. On the 20th a trial took place on a wind between Superb, Vanguard, and Raleigh, wind light, from two and a half to three knots. time six and a bale hours. At the conclusion Raleigh beat Vanguard 4,200; Vanguard beat Superb 1,150 yards. " 22d.—Another trial between Canopus and Superb on a wind. The latter weathered her oponent 300 yards. " 23d.—Light airs, with a heavy swell. 'Trial between Canopus and Vanguard. During the trial the wind shifted six points, consequently it was declared ' no trial.' " 24th.—Fresh breeze; single reefs and topgallant sails. Trial between Raleigh, Canopus, and Vanguard, three hours and a half; rate from seven to nine knots on a wind. Ra leigh carried away foretopsail-yard in stays, beat Vanguard 300 yards, and then gave up. Vanguard weathered Canopus 500 yards. "since leaving Cork the crews have turned out once for general quarters at 11 P.m., and fired three rounds of blank cartridge. The crvise, as yet, has been very quiet. We are expecting Sir William Parker daily, Trafalgar and Cyclops hourly, with letters and officers' hoped-for commissions. The Queen and Rodney do not do so well as in the last year's trials--they have wonderfully fall - Vanguard will beat all the liners on every point of sail - •,,h some of the newspapers have given Superb ' . , considered Superb and Vanguard's superiority s. • :0 the improve ment caused by additional ballast*" The Scourge, steam bomb-vessel, Commander Caffin, and I the Albion, steam transport, Maste‘Commander J. Aylen, arrived at Cork orrthe Ist insti l , the foi . nteilvom the Channel squadron, with letters and dispatches. The Admiralty has issued instructions under an order in Council for the revival of the School of Naval Architecture in this dockyard, in the following manner :—A selection is to be made from the apprentices in the dockyard school of two of the most advanced pupils in mathematics, classics, and general good conduct from this yard, w ho h ave serve d four years of their apprenticeship, two from Devonport school, and one from each of the schools in Chatham, Sheerness, Woolwich, and Pembroke yards. The same number are to be admitted annually, and . not to exceed twenty-four; they are to be instructed in the higher branches of mathematics and practical shipbuilding, drawing, kc., by masters to be selected by the Admiralty; and the place of study to be appropriated, for the purpose is the residence of Captain Denison, R.E., who will vacate it in September next, when ha will go out as Governor of Van Diemen's Land. This is the south wing of the present apprentices' school in this dockyard. On the apprentices completing their seven years' study with credit and professional ability, they are to be eligible to the offices of foremen, assistant master shipwrights, and master shipwrights, or the other appointments of the various trades in her Majesty's dock , yards for which the examining officers may consider them qualified. This institution, if properly followed up, will insure a supply of scientific officers for all the royal dock yards, particularly in the shipbuilding department. The Seamen and Marines Orphan Schools, Portsea, which have for their sole objects the education, maintenance, and ultimate comfortable provision of the orphans of seamen and marines of the Royal Navy and the Hon. East India Company, are, we are happy to say, receiving that share of benevolent patronage and attention from the affluent and charitably-disposed which such an institution richly deserves. Under the distinguished presidency of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, the Commander-in-Chief at this port, whose warm support the institution eminently enjoys, the funds of the charity are daily increasing. His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia transmitted yesterday, through Baron Brunnow, to Sir Charles Ogle, the handsome donation of 20/. in aid of its funds, accom panied by his Highness's best wishes for the pr os p er ity an d extended usefulness of the charity. Six boys have been en tirely fitted out And sent to sea since March, and three girls have been placed in comfortable and suitable situations. The Pique, 36, Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford, was paid off yesterday into ordinary. A rumour p reva il s th a t she is to be altered by having her bow lengthened, according to the plan of Mr. White, of Cowes. If so, some considerable time must elapse before she can be re-commissioned. As the ship is apparently very sound, her spars only being defective, we doubt the truth of these reports. The Vixen steam-sloop, 6, Commander George Giffard, had her freight cleared out very expeditiously on Friday afternoon, and landed in lighters at Clarence-yard. She sailed the same evening for Woolwich, to be paid - off. The Fairy, steam-tender to the royal yacht, was un - masted on Friday evening, in obedience to some whim of the commander of the Victoria and Albert, who has, it appears, taken a fancy to try the Fairy under canvass, and imagines additional brass hoops are necessary to strengthen the masts, lest they should split when the sails are set. It is obvious to every sailor that this vessel can never de anything under sail, being so exceedingly narrow. One of the dockyard lumps, with the Drake sailing lighter and the buoy-boat, has been employed for some days past in sweeping the middle part of the anchorage at Spithead for the purpose of discovering and removing some impediment which is'statecl to have entangled one of the anchors of the I a ourge steam bomb-vessel when lying th ere . Th e searc h • hitherto been unsuccessful, although they h ave h a d, i n dition to the sweeps, the assistance of a diver from the cellent. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., went on board the Con stance, 50, Captain Sir C. B. Walker, K.C.8., yesterday after noon to inspect her and muster her crew. The yards were manned on his arrival and departure, and a salute fired when he left. We understand he expressed hisunqualified admira tion at all the arrangements of the frigate and the proficiency of her crew—a just tribute to the indefatigable exertions of her captain, Sir Baldwin Walker, and the first lieutenant, Mr. W. R. Kennedy. The North Star, 26, Captain Sir J. E. Home, Bart., sailed from Sydney, New South Wales, for the Cape of Good Hope and England, on the 24th of February. A contract was taken on the 25th ult. at the Royal Cla rence victualling establishment, Gosport, for 1,000 quarters of wheat, principally at b6s. 6d. per quarter; a small quan tity realised 575., and some 575. 6d. The average was a shade higher than the previous contract. The Griffon, 3, brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander Wil mot, on her passage from Devonport to Rio, was spoken in June, in let. 38 deg. 50 win. N., long. 14 deg. W., by the Ro- , alist, arrived at Cork. The Cyclops steam frigate, Capt. Lapidge, is to relieve the Rattler screw sloop, Commander Smith, at Oporto, the Ratt ler to rejoin the Channel squadron, and the Cyclops to follow, when her services can be dispensed with. The Retribution steam frigate, Capt. Lushington, has re joined the Channel squadron. The Crocodile troop ship, Commander Lowe, and the Blenheim transport, have left Cork for Hudson's Bay, with Royal Artillery and a detachment of the 6th Regiment. The Admiralty have ordered that in future galvanised iron is to be used instead of copper, as heretofore, in the construc tion of coal bunkers for her Majesty's steam-vessels. rnornoirozis. Lieut.

SIIKERNES4, JULY 4.—The Recruit, the new experimental iron 12-gun brig presently fitting here, is ordered to be com missioned by Commander Adolphus Slade (1841). She is already well nigh complete in her rigging, and the ship wrights are progressing equally rapidly with the department of her fittings. When her lines have been taken she will be moved out of deck. The Hound, 10 .gun brig, recently launched at Deptford Dockyard, was hauled into the basin on Thursday to be fitted for sea. Commander Granville H. Wood is ordered to com mission her, instead of the Linnet, to which he was at first appointed at Devonport. The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Lieutenant A. Parks, sailed on Thursday for the north-eastern coast of Scotland, to resume her duties in the protection of the fisheries which extend from the Shetland Islands to the Fern Islands. The Albatross, 16. Commander It. York, was towed to Chatham on Thursday by the African, steamer to be paid off, without removing any of her interior fittings. The Dido, 20, Captain J. B. Maxwell, is to go to the Nore to-day, where she will take her powder on board, and be mustered and inspected by the Commander-in-Chief, and sail. on Tuesday for Spithead and Devonport. Commander Lefebvre's fid, with which the main-topmast was fidded, has been removed, it. not having been approved of. The re mains of Mr. Greig, the midshipman.of this ship, who com mitted suicide on Monday last, will be interred on the ar rival of his friends (who were immediately made acquainted with the untimely fate of their unfortunate relative) from Edinburgh. - - Messrs. Grissell and Peto, the contractors for building the new Houses of Parliament, have been ordered by the Admi ralty to erect a new chain store at this dockyard. The cost will be about 1,400/. The following vessels are fitting in dock :—Dragon steam frigate; Horatio, 44; Chichester, 50; and Recruit, 12. Worcester, 50; Havannali, 22; Formidable, 84; Hound, 10; and Wildfire steamer, in the basin. In consequence of the pressure of work the smiths are at present working from 5 A.3L to i r.m.

Beaufort PRICE SD. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. THE CITY OF LONDON. Shortly after one o'clock on' Saturday, Mr. Sheriff Laurie, attended by the two Secondaries, Messrs. James and Potter, proceeded to the.hustings in Guildhall, when the Chief Usher of the Corpooration, Mr. Harker, made proclamation of the receipt, by the Sheriffs of London, of her Majesty's writ, com manding them to proceed to the election of a citizen to serve in the present Parliament in the room of Lord John Russell, whose seat has necessarily been vacated by his acceptance of the office of First Lord of the Treasury. A second procla mation was made, declaring that the Sheriff would proceed to the election on Wednesday next, the Bth instant, at eleven for twelve o'clock, iu Guildhall. We perceive that a prelimi nary meeting of the electors, with a view to promote Lord John Russell's re-election, is announced to be held at the Ball of Commerce this day, and.this movement is the solitary indication of the approach of the election—opposition is not even thoui,ht of. TIVERTON. JULY 4.—The writ for a new election, in consequence of Lord Palmerston having resumed his old post in the Cabinet, arrived here at two o'clock this afternoon from the office of the under-Sheriff, Winslow Jones, Esq., Exeter. Lord Palmerston's acceptance of office had been previously known, but notwithstanding this the arrival of the writ made not the least sensation in ,the town,. the Noble Lord being too 1 popular to allo*The slightest doubt as to his re election. A report was spread at Exeter that "Squire Daniel" intended to try his fortunes in a contest. This gentleman is son of the far-famed Alderman Daniel, the great West India merchant of Bristol, who was the-architect of his own fortunes, and has reared a tolerably 'substantial edifice. - • Mr: Daniel possesses a large property at Stoodleigb, which he purchased from the late Mr. Fazakerlev, a transfer which did not strengthen the Liberal interest in that district, but. the Tiverton Reformers have nothing to fear from the Daniel interest. Lord Pal merston's colleague is John Heatcoat, Esq., M,.P., the celebrated inventor of the lace machine. Ile has made a splendid fOrtune by the legitimate application of his great original talents, and he has taken care that all whb are in his employ shall in some measure share in the success of the establishment. He has built and endowed schools for the children of his workpeople, as well as those of the towns people. They are superintended by able teachers, and sup plied with the best maps, models, tisc. He has provided large cottage allotments for his workpeople, and voluntarily , limited the working time to eleven hours per day. In re spect to the town itself his liberal hand is engaged in every good work, and at the present - moment he is maintaining, at a heavy pecuniary cost, a Chancery suit against the trustees of Blundell's School, in order to compel them to administer the trust of the Tiverton Grammar School, in accordance with the will of the donor, and in obedience to the general requirements of the present day, as well as the earnest desire of the inhabitants. In all his works of usefulness, Mr. Heathcoat is most ably supported by his son-in-law and partner, A. Brewin, Esq. The effect of all this public spirit is to make the inhabitants stand by him as one man ; and as Lord Palmerston has the warm support of Mr. Heathcoat's partizans and friends, his Lordship's return is certain. IBRAHIM PACHA. The following deputation from the Oriental Club waited, on Saturday, upon his Highness Ibrahim Pacha, to request his Highness to give the club the honour of his company at any convenient day :—Tbe Right Hon. Sir Henry Pottinger, G.C.8.; the Right Hon. Holt Mackenzie; Sir T. Edward Colebrooke, Bart., M P. ; Major. General Sir John Doveton, K.C.B. ; George William Anderson, Esq. ; Major-General Delamotte, C.B. ; Lieutenant-Colonel Montgomerie, C. 8.; John M. Macleod, Esq. His Highness received the de putation in the most gracious manner, and was pleased to fix Friday, the 10th instant, for the entertainment. Lord Auckland in the chair. Shortly afterwards the Pacha left Mivart's Hotel, accom panied by Sami Pacha, Col. Bonfort, M. Nubar, and Major C. Dickson, for the Birmingham Railway station at Euston square, and from thence proceeded b y ♦ railway to Wat ford to see the process of making paper. By an arrangement made prior to his leaving town, he visited the extensive paper-mills of Mess. s. W. Lepard, Smith, and Co. It is well known that, although the Pacha has been brought up in the military profession, he has a great taste for manufactures, and never allows an opportunity to escape when a novelty either in art or manufacturing science presents itself. His Highness was most desirous to see the mode in which our superior paper was made, paper of British manufacture being now generally used in Egypt. The Pacha was conducted over the mills by Mr. Smith. His Highness closely watched the various processes, and expressed himself highly pleased by the visit he had made. 'His Highness and suite returned to town by the railway, and en route to Mivart's the Pacha went to the gardens of the Zoological Society in the Regent's-park, where his High ness was occupied nearly two hours in viewing the collection of animals and birds belonging to the society. The Pacha and party returned to Mivart's shortly after six o'clock, and forthwith prepared to go to the entertain ment given by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Naviga tion Company, at the Albion Hotel, Aldersgate-street. At the termination of the splendid dinner the Pacha and the whole of his suite repaired to Viscountess Palmerston's assembly. _ _ On Sunday afternoon the Pacha, accompanied by Sami Pacha, Colonel Bonfort, and M. Nubar, took a drive in Hyde-park and the Regent's-park, and then returned to dinner. At half-past eight in the evening the carriages were again ordered, and his Highness, similarly attended, went out for a carriage airing in the neighbourhood of the me tropolis. The Pacha has accepted an invitation to dine with Vis count and Viscountess Palmerston on the 13th inst. On Wednesday next his Highness is to be entertaimed by the East India Company. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTIIAMPTON, J ULY s.—Late last evening the Tay, Captain Sharp, with the West India and Mexican mails, arrived in the docks, and landed her mails, which were for warded to London by the two A. 31. train this day. Dates of the Tay :—Tampico, May 2 ; Vera Cruz, June 2; Havan nah, June 11 ; Honduras, May 20; Chagres, May 26; Ja maica, June 8 ; Carthagena, May 29; Demerara, June 4 ; Trinidad, 6th; Barbadoes, Bth; Grenada, 10th; St. Thomas, 16th ; La Guayra, 16th ; Bermuda, 20th. The Tay reports strong westerly winds since she left Ber muda, but otherwise very fine weather. Her Majesty's ship Daring was at Havannah on June 7tb, and went out of harbour on the 10th. The Clyde arrived at the Havannah on the 6th June. The Tay has brought home a valuable cargo, consisting of 93 passengers, 1,940,000 dollars, 1251. British coin, I,BBooz. of gold dust, 5201b:3. of platina, I%lbs. of pearls, 1 package of emeralds value 20,000 dollars, 138 cues of vanilla, 32 bales of jalap, 100 bales of tobacco, 26 cases of cigars, 55 packages of pines. 13 cases of preserved turtle, 5 cases of tortoiseshell, and 80 packages of sundries. NEWS FROM MEXICO. 'From private sources we learn that the system of blockade is becoming general on the coast of Mexico; the ports of Tampico and Vera Cruz have been declared. Captain Saunders, of the American blockading ship off Tampico, has given notice to the Royal Mail steam-packets that permission would be given to land their mails and pas sengers, but that they would not be allowed to embark or disembark quicksilver. specie, or any kind of merchandise. In Vera Cruz the Royal Mail steam-packets will be al lowed to land their mails, passengers, and take specie, but no other description of merchandise. Notice will be given on the arrival of the American commodore for further instruc tions. There is a strong report about a revolution in favour of Santa Anna. Upwards of 500 troops and as many of the inhabitants of the town of -Vera Cruz were in the hospitals. The town is very sickly. The number of the troops in castle and town, under command of General Bravo, is said to be about 2,200. An American barque passed the American blockade, and ran herself under the Mexican fort ; she was several times fired upon, but being a quick sailer she ran under the Castle, where she received protection, but was not allowed to land her cargo until further instructions from the city of Mexico, The United States Consul for Mazatlin and Vera Cruz left the latter place a few days before the Tay, in a United States steam ship. FIRE AT BANSTEAD.—On Saturday morning, at an early hour, a mounted messenger arrived in London with intelligence of a fire at Copthall Farm, Banstead, the pro perty of Mr. Al!cock, of Kingswood Warren, which termi nated in the destruction of considerable property. It was discovered by Joseph Bartlett, police-constable, on duty near the farm, who saw flames issuing from one of the sheds, and raised an alarm, the flames having already obtained the com plete mastery of the wood building where it originated. Three engines from the neighbouring villages were brought to the spot, but when they arrived the whole farm was on fire. Great exertions were used, but owing to the scarcity of water the various buildings, &c., were entirely consumed. Six sheds, two barns, one granary, a large stack of straw, and several stables were completely destroyed by the fire, which is supposed to have originatel by one of the labourers lighting a fire in one of the sheds. DRUMMING OUT.—The amusing proceedings con nected with " drumming out" an incorrigible scamp from the honourable ranks of the 37th, was gone through this week at the Newport Barracks, and caused much fun to the company few regrets to the escaped man, and great merriment to the lookers -on.—Monmouthshire Merlin. FIRE AT POPLAR.—On Sunday forenoon, shortly after eleven o'clock, a fire, that at one period threatened the most disastrous consequences, broke out at No. 6, Trinity Alms houses, North-street, Poplar ; the property of Messrs Wigram and Green, the ship-builders, but in the occupation of Mr. Palmer. The flames originated from some cause that could not be ascertained, in the ground-floor front, and so firma hold had they obtained before discovered, that on the return of the occupier to the room (after the absence of not more than five minutes) he found the place wrapped in one com plete blaze. The engines were speedily on the spot, and the lire was soon extinguished, but not before that part of the premises where it originated was burnt out, and the furni ture destroyed. A BENIGHTED BEADLE.—A beadle some time ago, in a parish in Ayrshire, was examined and dismissed for gross ignorance in spiritual matters, as well as for not walking even according to the light which he had. Some time after he applied for restoration of privileges, en the plea that he had learned and amended. " Well, John," said the minister, " I will just ask you a few plain questions:—What!is baptism ?" " 'Deed, Sir," replied John, "I canna weel tell you what baptism is noo—new folk, new laws; but in my time it was fourpence to the beadle, and tippence to the precentor." TAUNTON. SATURDAY, JULY 4.—The acceptance of office by the re spected Member for this borough, the Right Honourable Henry Labouchere, was hailed here with a feeling of uni • versal satisfaction, for although Taunton is purely an agri cultural town, yet the majority of its inhabitants have ever been Reformers, and the late measure for the repeal of the Corn-laws has met here here with general support. Indeed we know not how adequately to convey the "very great change of feeling which has taken place here among the Conservative party since the election of 1841. Then, al though not the majority, they were a very powerful party, as was shown by their support of Mr. Wilberforce and Mr. Hall, and they were also rigid protectionists —now they are not a less powerful party, but by far the greater number of them have abandoned protection, and are conscientious con verts to free-trade principles. The writ was received here this morning, and the Bailiffs have fixed Friday next for the election. WORCESTER. SATURDAY, Jute! 4.—The writ for a fresh election for this city, in consequence of Sir Thomas Wilde being again ap pointed to the office of Attorney-General, was received by this morning's post, and the sheriff immediately made pro clamation of the same, and appointed 'Wednesday next for the election. An address to the electors from the Attorney- General has just appeared. The friends of the Learned Knight meet him on Monday morning to offer their aid in his re-election; a tender of ser vices, however, scarcely needed, for not the slightest op position will be offered to the unanimous wish for his re election. NOTTINGHAM SATURDAY EvErn:ca.—This morning the writ arrived, and proclamation was made by the sheriff, Mr. Nathan Hurst, who has appointed- Wednesday next, at ten o'clock in the forenoon, for the nomination to take place. At present all that is possibly known on the subject Is, that Sir John Cam Hobhouse having accepted the office of President of the Board of Control, a vacancy has occurred in the representa tion, and Sir John is the only candidate in the field. At one o'clock to-day he issued his address. Many people talk of an opposition, but the leaders of the Tory party feel that as a body they are divided, and that free-trade principles must prevail. On Monday evening Sir John C. Hobhouse is expected to arrive in Nottingham, and in the mean time his committee will take the most active steps to secure his return. The great measures of the day have done much to allay party feeling, and to cause the electors to look upon the support of free trade as a para mount object. The protectionists here, as a body, know and feel their insignificance, and do not even talk of a show of opposition; and the Conservative party, being split, can not call a man to their aid.- THE WEST RIDING. Lord Morpeth's address to the electors of the West Riding (which will be found elsewhere) is as generous towards his political opponents as might be expected from his noble character. He does Sir Robert Peel full justice, and h. also does' justice to the Whigs; when he declares that they did not oppose Sir Robert through any eagerness for office. After reminding the electors how strictly he had fulfilled his own pledges given at the election in February, the Noble Lord adds— "An able and powerful Minister has fallen in the moment of his well-earned triumph. That fall has not been precipi tated by any eagerness on the part of my political associates to depnve him of the power he was thus beneficially using; we felt ourselves constrained to give our votes against him on a question which we had no share in raising, whether it was expedient at the present time to introduce a measure of a severe and coercive character for the_ government of Ireland." Though no statement of Lord Morpeth's requires con firmation, yet we may say that we have the means of know ing this declaration to be perfectly correct. Neither Lord John Russell nor Lord Morpeth wished to unseat Sir Robert Peel, but the reverse. They were placed under that neces sity by Sir Robert's owe act—Sir Robert himself seeing the inevitable result, and even designing it. Lord Morpeth now comes before the West Riding with claims so strong on the favour and confidence of the electors, that we cannot anticipate opposition from any quarter. Opposition would certainly be hopeless. The Whigs have a very large majority on the register, after the severest scrutiny; and they are in the most perfect state of prepara tion. All their little differences are healed, whilst all the differences among their political opponents are aggravated to the utmost. The noble candidate thus indicates the nature of the policy to be pursued by the new Cabinet : " If I am enabled by the generous renewal of your confi der.ce to combine the representation of your industrious classes with the actual service of the Crown, I shall hope to bear my part in a coui se of policy which shall have for its continued object to relieve trade, commerce, and industry of all unnecessary burthens, and to increase the command of the great bulk of the community over the necessaries and comforts of life, as well as to improve and elevate their so cial and moral condition, and to give new securities and en couragements to their freedom, intelligence, and virtue." We do not know how a better or full er description could be given, in the same number of words, of the duties of a liberal and paternal Government. It is somewhat remarkable, but perfectly appropriate in this era of the triumphs of free trade, that the two great commercial constituencies of the empire, West Yorkshire and South Lancashire, should at the same time have free trade candidates walking over the course. The elevation of Lord Ft ancis Egertrn to the peerage makes a vacancy in the representation of South Lancashire, for which Mr. William Brown, the former Liberal candidate, will be returned unop posed.--Leeds Mercury. STORM AT WINDSOR.--A very violent storm of thun der and lightning, accompanied by a heavy fall of rain, passed over this town, between two and three o'clock yester day afternoon, in a south-easterly direction. The lightning was accompanied by peals of thunder awfully loud and alarm ing. During the whole of yesterday morning the heat was far more oppressive than it had been experienced.for the past month, the thermometer in the royal gardens at Frogmore, standing at 93 deg. in the shade. DEATH OF ROBERT MAUGHAM RICHARDS, ESQ.— We have to record the decease of one of the most respected, if indeed not one of the most eminent members of the English bar—Robert Maugham Richards, Esq., whose name must be familiar to many of our readers.- He expired on Thursday last, at his residence in Whitehall-place, aged 53. The cos.- plaint which proved fatal to the learned gentleman was an affection of the spine of long standing. Symptoms first manifested themselves about four years since, when Mr. Richards was in the height of practice, and such were the apprehensions entertained of the result, that he adopted the advice of his medical attendants, by retiring from the bar, resolving to spend the remainder of his days in comparative retirement, having previously, it is understood, amassed a handsome independence by his professional exertions during a period of nearly 24 years. For some time previous to the fatal attack he apparently enjoyed fair health, and although he abstained in I great degree, if not wholly from all profes sional duties, h enevertheless moved in another character— that of a philanthropist, and was an active supporter of many of our most beneficial charitable institutions. He was one of the coadjutors of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge in the formation of the Governesses' Benevolent Institution, and took a deep interest in its proceedings up to the last few days of his earthly career. ACCIDENT ON THE' GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.--All accident, which was fortunately unattended with any per sonal injuries, occurred at the Slough station, on the after noon of Saturday last, upon the arrival of the luggage train, with several third-class carriages, on its journey to Paddington. From some negligence on the part of the men in charge of the train one of the large flaps of a luggage truck, in consequence of its not being properly secured, fell down, and in this state projected some three or four feet, horizontally from the truck itself. The portion of the line of rails at Slough, along which the train was proceeding, ran within a few inches of a large luggage shed, recently constructed opposite the down station. The projecting flap, striking the side of the shed, tore away the whole of its upright supports, and that side of the shed was immediately in nuns. The train,'fortunately, was not proceeding at the rate of more than five or six miles an hour; the speed having been slackened for the purpose of its, stopping about 200 yards farther on, at the up station. The greatest alarm was experienced by the passengers, not only from the jolting they experienced when the concussion caused by the collision took place, but from the awfully crashing noise occasioned by the falling materials of which the large building was composed. Providentially no persons were in the shed at the time the accident occurred, one , no injuries were sustained of any serious nature by those persons who were travelling by the train. LATER FRolif kMERICA, - By the arrival of the London" 1 1 .71 0 e - of - Packe 4 4111 1 3 Quebec, Captain Hebard, at Plymouik we -hove -.re- • ceived New York papers to the 18th June, we copy the following extracts : ": • -: • - THE OREGON TREATY. PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS. IN SENATE. WASHINGTON, Jusa 16, 1846, THE FINANCES OF THE COUNTRY.-WAYS AND MEAEL A message from the President was sent in this mining. with Secretary Walker's report on the finances and the tariff.. The President states that the iecrease of revenue rends red ) necessary by the war with Mexico, can be met by reducing the duties to a revenue standard, imposing duties on fn. 'et • articles, and modifying the duties on others. Additional authority is asked for the issue of Treasury notes. The Secretary's report was also read. He estimates a de-- ficimcy in revenue for the next fiscal year at nineteen mil— lions six hundred and twenty thousand dollars, but entici— ng s receipts from various sources which will reduce this too fifteen zillions. • This deficit will also be reduced, if the tariff is modified according to the provisions of the House Bill, introduced by the Committee of Ways and. Means. The entire receipts with this modification, are estimated at thirty millions, but leaving still the deficiency mentioned of fifteen millions. ' The warehouse system proposed, it is estimated, will fur ther reduce this amount, and the graduation of the sales of - public lands half a million more, leaving still over twelve millions deficit. To meet this the Secretary recommends a resort to loans, or issue of Treasury notes, or both, as circumstances may render it most desirable; and at the earliest dates, and at such rates of icterest as may be agreed upon. The message and report were referred to the Committee on' Finance, and ordered to be printed. An Executive message was also received, which was under stood to be the Oregon treaty. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. • WASHINGTON, JUrra 16, 1846. Opened with the usual ceremonies. THE OREGON TREATY. Mr. M'Dowell, of Ohio, moved a suspension of the rules,- in order to introduce a resolution embodying a- protest against the treaty in progress for a settlement of the Oregon question. - The resolution and preamble assume that this is a question proper for the action of the whole legislative power; for On attempt secretly to adjust the matter while the people and their representatives are ignorant of the terms, would be doing injustice to the rights of the people, and " consum mated" no obligatory force upon them, therefore " Resolved,—That in the opini on f the House, it is the duty of the Senate to postpone the further consideration and action upon the same, and submit it to the people for their act ion and consideration." The remaining resolutions censure the President and Se nate for executive and senatorial supremacy, and for secret conclave, by which to hide their proceedings from the public under the midnight veil. On his motion to suspend the ruler, the yeas were 35, nays 156. So the motion was lost. WASHINGTON, Juni 16. TILE OREGON TREATY.—IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL MOVEMENTS. The treaty was not sent to the Senate yesterday, owing to the resignation of the Chairman on Foreign Relations. The vacancy will be supplied by an election to-day, when the document will be transmitted. It will be necessary to refer it to that Committee, and their reasons for recommending its adoption will be embodied. We learn that Mr. Walker has recovered from his illness, and will lay his communication relative to the tariff and finance before the Senate to-day. It will, it is said, recom-. mend a duty on tea, coffee, and other articles from 20 to 30 per cent., which he estimates will afford an increase of three or four millions in the revenue. It is said with authority that an issue of twelve millions in Treasury notes will also be recommended in preference to a loan. MONEY MARKET.—JUNE 16, Sur P.m. The stock market was heavy this morning, and prices fell off a fraction. We look upon this as one of those reactions usual upon a rising market. At the first board Pennsylvania Fives declined per Cent.; Farmers' Loan, 1 A ; Morris Canal, 1 4 ; Canton, 1 ; Long Island, IA ; and Norwich and Worcester, 3 / 4 . Mohawk and. Harlem closed at Saturday's . prices, and Reading Railroad Bonds advanced I/ 2 . The Exchange Bank and the Canal Bank of Lockport have suspended. Their bills are no longer redeemed at the agencies. • SUN, COMMERCIAL. BREADSTUFFS.—The market is a little better, with more sales. A lot of prime Genesee sold at 4 dole. 25c., and some indifferent at 4 dole. 18 3 4 c. Michigan . held at 4 dots. to 4 dole. 6 3 / 4 c. Corroe.—Another quiet day in this article, and sales small. Buyers are not disposed to enter the market at pre sent rates, and holders, in view of a more prosperous state of' trade a-head, and a short supply of the staple, seem disposed to be firm at present prices.

LEEDS, JULY 4. - - STOCK EXCITANCE.—There is more confidence manifested this week in all old stocks ; the tone of the markets is better ; and although there is no very material change in prices, yet there seems a disposi tion to be buying in first-class shares. Did not the number of new schemes obtaining the sanction of the Legislature appear so exceed ingly large, we should soon see the markets much improved ; as it is, however, perhaps the best course Government could adopt, would he to carry out what is understood to he their intention and extend the time for completing tha calls on the new lines within a certain de fined period, according to the extent of the undertakings and the amount of the capital required ; that some such provision Is' called. for to cheek the strong demand for money which the unrestricted operations on new railways would produce, cannot be overlooked. The arrangement between the Leeds and Bradford Company and the Midlands, is understood to be at ten per cent. from the Ist inst., but -the official declaration of the terms is not yet made. The closing of those shares is 36 p. West Riding Unions have been rather mom fortunate; no " unlucky Friday" having this time interfered to mar their success, and after an amount of perseverance seldom exceeded in such a cause, the promoters have the satisfaction at last of having their preamble proved. The demand for Ridings in the markets has been fully met by sellers, and they are dull at closing prices —of course there are many stages yet to pass through before the final success of the Bill.

P.—lt will- be seen in the new Ministerial arrangements that our Member, Mr. Baring, does not take office ; lie has declined doing so mainly in con sideration of the declining health of his revered father, Sir Thomas Baring, add also of Lady Baring, and his conse quent wish to spend much of his time at Stratton. We can state, however, the actual fact that he does not abandon any part of his political creed, but will most cordially support the new Government, and expresses in a letter to a friend the highest opinion of the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, in whose abilities he has great confidence. Mr. Baring sits behind his leader, Lord John Russell, instead of, as before, sitting by the side of him. Mr..Baring's desire for office has been much abated by the successful march of the Anti. Corn law Bill, for aid in the carrying out of which was his only aim when he took office for 24 hours in November last.— Hampshire Telegraph.
