It is unnecessary in this Prospectus, to enlarge upon the advan tages of Life Assurance, or its adartation to most of the exigencies , and relations in life. These benefits have been so extensively pub lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated. This Company is formed for granting every description of Life Assurance, Annuity, and Endowment; Loans either for long or short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis factory security for the payment of premium and interest, and the repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be agreed ; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies of • Assurance, and every other description of property. Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se curity, and effecting a policy of Assurance for the amount bor rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so• long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party borrowing 1,0001. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum bered, the sum assured being applied by the Company to repay its advance. The premiums are based upon data derived front the most recent and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably-adjusted ' scale. secure t i o y One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its' benefits s uwith thenearly ad as ditio psib o a se sub o s f cri e n d t ual capital. A ss u r l a v n i t c h e this v ew, four-fifths of the profit , ido rig from Policies affected by parties on the terms of particip will be divided every three years, after the first five years, among thole who assure for the whole term of life. The sum so divided among the Assured to he applied to the reduction of the annual premium, or added to the wi s lorred as bonus. or naid in orpaent vales. at the ()Winn of the 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 arrear 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 rendered consistently with the interests of the Company. • The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal te the value of the policy, on its security. In all the transactions of the Company the ntmost liberality will be exercised. Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the assured 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 are many persons, who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease 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 illustrattal of the principle of the Tontine An nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec tive nominees, being of an age 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 of 6/. ; but 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 if. the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re ceived will fall into the ftuids 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 ap propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in many in stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to 'scare indepen dence and comfort in their declining years. Parents may also by these means provide for their children. Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations. Applications for Shares, in the following form, to be directed to Charles Barker, Esq., No. 46, Lincoln's Inn-fields : To the Directors of the Tontine Lire Assurance Company.

The debate was continued with great anima, and the resolutions were laid on the table to be taken up hereafter. On 31st Decemb er a Bill 'to regulate the trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes was reported from the Committee on Indian affairs, and referred to the Com mittee of the whole; and also a Bill to establish a line of stockade forts on the Missouri, through the Oregon ter-. ritory, was reported by Mr. Brinkerhoff, of Ohio, and referred to the Committee of the whole. We are glad to find that the speech of Mr. Calhoun has been hailed with lively satisfaction by a large and powerful party in the United States, who desire peace on any honourable terms. On this Subject the .A'ew York Evening Post has the following:ee " Mr. Calhoun has realised the hopes of the friends of honourable peace by the decisive step which he has taken in the Senate, and we congratulate the country that the powerful influence of sa diatingaished a man has been thus openly and decidedly arrayed in opposition to the war resolutions—for such we consider those of Mr. Douglass in the House and Mr. Hannegan in the Senate —and the war feeling which appeared at one time to carry all before it?' " Mr. Calhoun's resolutions in the Senate are im portant"—as the _National telligencer freely says—" as disclo€ia g the views of so distinguished and influential a member of the body, and are eminently important as an indication that there are Senators of the dominant party who think that peace may yet be preserved with honour, and who are not, at any rate, disposed to incur the hazards and horrors of war until` efforts for a pacific and honourable adlustmen . t .. _tC:110 ,4141 1 / 4 14)_ • be exhausted; ' • " The ground assumed by Mr. Calhoun, that by en gaging in war for Oregon we shall lose the whole of the territory for the present and run the risk of losing it for the future, is so obviously in accordance with com mon sense that we cannot contemplate without surprise the warlike course recommended and adopted by the Senators on the other side. Of the adoption of the ex treme measures which have been brought forward in both Houses there is now, we presume, very little pro bability. " The demonstrations made by Mr. Calhoun and his friends, will prevent any imprudence on the part of our Government, but we are still to hear from England, and it is clearly therefore the duty of Congress to place the country in an attitude to meet every emergency. "The military preparations, as far as we can hear, that are contemplated for the present, are an increase of the army by the addition of two whole regi ments, and the raising of a body of mounted riflemen either in Tennessee, Kentucky, or Texas This is a formidable demonstration indeed, and we doubt not will, when the information reaches the other side of the water, produce as much effect upon the nerves of Sir Robert Peel and the Iron Duke as the re commendation of the Secretary of the Navy that that branch of the pubic defence be increased by the addi tion of—six acting boatswains 1 "Congress has now been in session forsome weeks and it seems to us that it is full time that the reports of the two secretaries—of war and of the navy —with their magnificent estimates for sustaining our present efficient peace establi,hment be considered at once, and sufficient measures taken to provide properly for the startling contingencies which may arise. " There is no better means of avoiding war, than to show that we are prepared to meet it, if it should come, and an expenditure of sweaty millions or five times that amount, to secure peace, would be in our judgment, as economical, as it would certainly be a desirable appro- ISASTER, priation of the public Eßß I m ß o L ne E y. T D" The New Orleans papers of the 24th bring accounts of the loss, on the 18th, of the steam-boat Belle Zane, Captain Brazier, by striking a snag in the Mississippi, by which about fifty lives were lost. The Picayune says that she struck at about twelve miles below the mouth of White River, at twelve o'clock at night, and almost instantly turned bottOm upward. There were about ninety on board, nearly all of whom were in their berths. Of those who reached the shore, great numbers were frozen to death, as the night was bitterly cold, and they had not been able in their en forced haste to secure any of their clothing. We copy the following from the Picayune :—The steam boat Diamand came along a short time after the accident, and discovered the wreck of the Belle Z Ine bottom up. l The officers of the former boat picked up sixteen of the passengers of the latter at two different points on the Arkansas side. The unfortunates, after suffering incre dibly from the cold, were finally landed at Napoleon, where the balance of those saved on the Arkansas side had previously assembled. It seems thaLimmediatelv which those who were saved tioateu_ The nem.: a those lost could not be ascertained further than that of Mr. Bowen, lady and child, of Zanesville. There were five ladies on board, all of whom were fortunately saved-tex cept Mrs. Bowen. Several of the unfortunate passengers came down on the Diamond to a point above, and six others came as far as this city. The names of the latter are John P. Nesle, of Albany, New York ; James Sheridan, John Mick, Robert H. Foster, J. Gibson, and Henry Platte. The feet of some of them are so badly frost-bitten that they are unable to use them. The Bulletin says, that so far as they can ascertain, not snore than sixteen lives were lost. The Tropic says that sixty out of the ninety were saved. In any event the disaster is most deplorable. COMMERCIAL NEWS.

DUBLIN, JAN. 23.—The conference of Irish Members of Parliament was held this day in the large room of Radley'e Hotel, College -green. There was no one pre sent to represent the Conservative party. At half-past twelve o'clock, upon the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, M P., seconded by Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN, M.P., the chair was taken by Captain Seaver. Mr. O'CONNELL, M.l'., first came forward to state his views. He said that there were two objects combined in their meeting that day—namely, to form an Irish party, if possible, and also to devise measures for their guidance in Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) A public invi tation had been held out by several Conservative papers, high in the confidence of the Conservative party, who were desirous of meeting other Irish Members upon mutual grounds—to form a party composed, in fact, of Repealers at on 3 side, and Conservatives at the other — (Hear) —and it had been urged, powerfully and palpably, that there were the materials in Ireland to constitute suAlt a union, which would work for the good of the country on all questions upon which they agreed.— (Hear.) Now, to effect that object, they should first see if there was any disposition, on the part of the Conserva tives, to meet them. The papers he alluded to had pledged themselves to the willingness of their supporters to such a connexion; and his object in making that ex planation was to say that he had come there hoping that some proposition would be made. He hoped that a Conservative would come forward and propose the for mation of an Irish party, and to state the basis on which he proposed to form it. If any one did so, he (Mr. O'Connell) would answer for the repeaters that they would meet such an offer more than half-way.—(Hear, hear.) They did not want the Conservatives to give up their opinions, nor would they abandon theirs; they expected uo sacrifices, and would make none; yet he felt that they could all meet on neutral ground for the good of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. O'Connell) would now sit down, in the hope that they should hear some gentleman come forward oh the Conservative side, and state his views for the formation of an Irish party. which he handed to the Chairman. A considerable pause ensued, which was interrupted by Mr. Steele, who entered the room with a copy of the e newspapers, he O'Connell read support the sen timents move that Mr. John Mr. J. O'CoNNeee then read the Speech. Mr. O'Coesteee again proceeded to address the meet ing. He said, in rising for the second time to inquire QhelMireehrnia'°sje'lstpayei'esEelliSl—Peech aloud.—(Hear, hear.) would heg for himself to say, that he should not wish i t f im t e h n e ts re to act as the leader of such a union ; and if any gentle man thought rroper to propose its formation, there ebnytltenmeanc ponresseerivitattive • of men of Conservative principles to be were plenty e w x a p s re a s n ? - ed g ear found competent of leaning—%(H • , hear.) He (Mr. O'Connell) and his colleagues to sold be happy to act under such a leader if they could only establish the party—(Cheers.) The Learned Gentleman having sat drawn, and waited for some time to bear if any proposition would b e ma d e , again rose, and _ said ho was a f ra id that there was but little hope left that they w ould be able to succeed in this—the chief object of their meeting--(llear, bear) — as there was no one present to represent the opinions of the Conservative journals : he would, theref ore , di sm i ss that topic, and proce ed to the other object for which they had assembled ; not without mentioning, however, that if the Conservative party originated any meeting to form an Irish party, before he left for London, he would be most happy to attend it—(-.ear, hear, and cheers.) Having said so much, he would now allude to the secondary matter for their consideration, and us an Irish Member state the course he felt bound to adopt during the session—(lleee, hear.) He (Mr. O'Connell) was still of opinion that the best part of the Irish business could be done in Conciliation-hall ; but still there were questions before Parliament in which they should take part. There were questions upon which, even amongst themselves, they entertained a diversity of opinion, such as the corn -law question — upon which his individual opinions were known ; and all such questions should be considered as open ones for the individual consideration of each gentleman and his con stituents.—(Hear, hear.) There was a question, how ever, upon w hich, he believed, they were all agreed, and that was as regarded coercive measures to repress crime in Ireland. Her Majesty's Speech, which they had just heard, distinctly menaced a coercion proceeding on the part of the Legislature.—(Hear, hear.) Now he (Mr. O'Connell) was obliged to admit that the crime of as sassination was certainly increasing, but if so, he was afraid the cause which led to it was increasing also ; and he would not, therefore, consent to any alteration in the law until the Government first began to remove the cause of the miseries of the Irish people.---(Cheers.) That was the best method of following up the advice given in their gracious Sovereign's Speech.—(Applause.) The magistrates of Tipperary said, in their address, " that assassination was no longer to be traced to ques tions respecting the possession of land." Now that was an important admission, which showed that the recent mm - ders through the country originated in a foul spirit of revenge, on account of the abuses which the landlords made of their privileges.—(llear, hear.) This be sub mitted as the true state of the country, and he submitted it for the consideration of 'lrish Members, in order to call upon them to be punctual in their attendance in their places, if any measure of coercion was- proposed, and to prevent its passing, if possible. He (Mr. O'Con nell) for one would attend the House upon every ques tion for procuring relief for the poor, and upon every question of landlord and tenant law, and with regard to it he would endeavour to carry out jberecdthmendations contained in the reports of the,' -Repeal Associatien.— (Hear, hear.) He would not, believer, move any specific resolution on the point, but be satisfied with thus ex plaining his intentions. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN, said for himself he wished to state, that, as far as he was concerned, he thought it would be inexpedient to go over to London at present, as he was not prepared to support a total reßesd of the corn-laws; independent of which; lie strength of Ireland was in Conciliation-hall ; he would not, therefore, go to England then, or unless an occasion arose for his special attendance.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Joan O'CONNELL said he did not know whether there would be any objection to a resolution, pledging the meeting to oppose any coercive measure the Govern ment might propose, until that measure was accompanied by a measure to protect the tenant—(Hear, hear)—for if they allowed Sir Robert Peel once to pas a coercion Bill, such enactments, let him promise ever so much, would never be passed.—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) Under these circumstances he thought they might pass a resolution to the effect he stated; and he would also state that her Majesty's' Ministers might get support they little antivipated if they adopted the course he sug gested.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) For himself, he would say he would oppose a coercion Bill if not pro posed with other remedial measures, and he would there fore move, " That the Irish Members going over to London do hereby pledge themselves to oppose to the utmost all Government coercive measures which shall be brought forward, if they are not accompanied by mea sures calculated to settle the differences as between land lords and tenants in Ireland."—(Cheers.) Mr. J. DILLON BROWNE, M.P., seconded the motion. After a few words from Mr. O'CALLAostste, Mr. O'CottstELL again rose, and said he would not consent to pledge himself to the support of a coercion Bill under any circumstances, or any measure to violate the principles of the Constitution—(Hear, hear)—and he considered that the resolution gave no pledge to do so, or he would not support it.—(Cheers.) The relief they wanted was relief between landlord and tenant, corpo rate, and registry reform, and other important changes , —(Hear, hear, and cheers)—and if they got them, they would vote for the increased military and police forces to detect and put down crime ; but if they did not, he would oppose the Government to the utmost.—(Cheers.) Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL stated that his object was gained by drawing out the opinions of the gentlemen who had spoken ; and as he did not expect to have pro posed a resolution, he was not prepared with one care fully worded, perhaps ; and he wished to say that if it was supposed that he intended to pledge any gentleman to support a coercion Bill under any circumstances, he was very much mistaken, as his intentions were altogether in the spirit expressed by his father and Mr. Callaghan. The resolution having been then amended, was passed. Mr. S. O'BRIEN was called to the chair, and the meet ing separated at about one o'clock. SPECIAL COMMISSION IN WESTMEATH. RAILWAY DEPOSITS. The very proper observations made on Friday night by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his reply to Lord John Rus sell, have thrown the parties connected with railway de posits, whether as owners or as keepers of the funds, upon their own resources, and it is already pretty obvious that matters will not be made at all worse on that account, but th 6 contrary. A first consequence will be a more earnest endeavour to find out how much will actually be wanted, and in this not only bankers but directors will find it good policy Ito lend their cordial assistance. When once the amount is ascertained, or an approximation made to it, private ar rangements may be adopted for distributing the payments to the Accountant-General over such a space of time as will preclude great pressure at any one period, which is the 1 great poi n t a i m ed at. How mu c h it i s th e i n t eres t o f rail wayi managers, as well as bankers, to establish this necessary degree of concert, is shown by the recent fact, adverted to on Friday, of the failure of the Leeds and West Riding Bank, which is since ascertained to have been brought on by a sudden demand for the deposits intrusted to them by one of the railway companies; and this company, it is understood, though prepared in all other respects for the ordeal of Parli ament, is suddenly stopped in its progress by this cause alone. This bank was one of the oldest in Leeds, and was founded upon the private bank of Smith and Sons; they have a branch at Bradford, and ii.zsued notes. The de mand in question, which is understood to have been the im mediate cause of their failure, is stated by some at 40,0001., others at 80,000/., but it is said that they hold deposits for various other companies of large amount. The lesson it will convey to directors of rails' ays will be that of great caution in pressing for sudden payment ; for, unless this is observed. in the present peculiar state of the money-market, even strong banks will give way, and the best and most legitimate schemes be frustrated. Hence the propriety of corns general agreement, and if that is carried on in good faith, the real amount wanted will,soon be made known, and all- further alarni - dismiss — el from the minds of the City capital ists. The difficulty connected with these deposits is much aggravated by the antiquated practice of the Accountant-General's Office, which is about a century behind all other establishments for banking business, to which cate gory it essentially belongs. The office was established about 1706, previously to which the money of the various suitors was placed with the Masters in Chancery ; but some frauds having been discovered, the Accountant-General's Office was established, and, for better security, hedged in with so many checks and restrictions, that any occurrence of that sort was effectually guarded against, though it iiroduced a system of business than which nothing can be more annoying and per plexing to those accustomed to the smooth and even course of business in the City. No money ever passes through the Accountant-General's hands ; the payments in and out of the Bank are uniformly by giving an order to receive a certain sum of money, or if a payment, by giving a cheque on the Bank, which must previously pass through other offices un connected with the Accountant, so as to furnish an effec tual protection against fraud ; the trouble can only be understood by those who have encountered it. The Parliamentary rules relating to railway and other public companies have brought an immense increase of business to this department. With respect to those which have large payments to make within a short given time the practice is to leave at the Accountant's for one clear day the certificate of registration, or whatever the official evidence may be of the payment ; consequently, if put in on Monday, the order to the Bank to receive the money maybe made out on Wednesday, and being then placedto account, the remain ing question is, if re-investment be desired, how soon an order to that effect can be obtained. We have heard it re marked that only gross negligence on the part of the Direc tors or secretaries of railway companies could allow the funds to be locked up with the Accountant-General more than two days, but it has been quite overlooked how much new busi ness will now be brought into an office thus clumsily organized ' • and if the funds are very large, even the two day s w ill do much mischief. One supposition we have heard, and that far from an unreasonable one, is, that compliance with the standing order by the railway companies will be rendered im practicable by the inability of this department to wade through such a mass of transactions. At present the rule is, with regard to purchases of stock under the direction of the Ac countant-General, that they take place by the Government broker for time— that is, he buys on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday the stock to be paid for on Friday, which com pletely nullifies the supposed quick process of two days ; and seeing that the parties may not all exercise the extreme of 1 diligence in such a case, it may be safely assumed on the 1 average that a week will be lost with all moneys placed with the Accountant General as deposits for railways before they can be invested, while many persons in the uncertain state of the funds will decline investing at all. The question of where the money is to come from to pay up these deposits will depend to a certain extent upon the solvency of the re spective Railway Companies, or their capacity of borrowing it; but if some mutual understanding is not come to be tween them and the bankers, no degree of credit can weather the storm, and the whole trade of the City must be thrown for a few days into confusion. There ought to be some reform without delay in the office of the Accoun tant-General, which is utterly unfit for such business, and, if embarrassment does arise, will be easily shown to be one of the principal causes of it. If these deposits had been made payable at the Bank of England, though even there some oil might be applied to the wheels with benefit to the public— however great their amount, not the least .fifficulty would ill'ellnli:'''ln bne hohr the lodgment of any one railway would be made, and converted into stock or Exchequer-bills the next, without the rest of the moneyed world being cog nizant of the matter. To have only such a clumsy machinery as we new possess for such an important purpose is a digrace to a commercial country. The parties in the City whose hopes in the Chancellor of the Exchequer have failed them, now rely upon disclosures to be made on Monday by Sir Robert Peel when settling the course to be taken by the House in regard to the railway companies. This must also, ,it is clear, end in disappointment. There is nothing left, as stated before, but to grapple fairly with the subject, and for each man in distress to assist and consult with the others. —Times. THE NEW REVOLUTION.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.—By the arrival of the She nandoah, Captain West, at this port to-day, after a voyage of twenty-one days from New York, we have received papers from that city to the 3d inst. inclu sive. The news is therefore three days later than before, and although not developing any new facts of political importance, yet the papers contain much comment of interest to English readers, chiefly aris ing from the course taken by Mr. Calhoun in the Senate on the Oregon question, and in support of the following resolutions, which hel proposed to the House : Resolved,—That the President of the United States has power, "by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senate present concur.' Resolved,—That the power of making treaties em braces that of setting and fixing boundaries between the territories and possessions of the United States and those of other powers, in cases of conflicting claims between them in reference to the same. Resolved,—That however clear their claims may be, in their opinion, to " the country included within the parallels of 42 deg. and 54 deg. 40 min. north latitude, and extending from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, known as the territory of Oregon," there now exists, and have long existed, conflicting claims to the possession of the same between them and Great Britain, the adjustment of which has been frequently the sub ject of negotiation between the respective Govern ments. Resolved, therefore,—That the President of the United States has rightfully the power, under the Con stitution, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, provided that two-thirds of the Members concur, to adjust by treaty the claims of the two countries to the said territory, by fixing a boundary between the respec- tive possessions. Resolved,—That the President of the United States, in renewing the offer, in the spirit of peace and compro mise, to establish the 49th degree of north latitude as a line between the possessions of the two countries to the said territory, did not " abandon the honour, the cha racter, and the best interests of the American people," . . or exceed the power vested in him by the Constitution to make treaties. These resolutions, as our readers are aware, were proposed in opposition to those of Mr. Hannegan, which were of the following warlike character : Resolved,—That the country included within the parallels of 42 and 54, North Latitude, and extending from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, known as the territory of Oregon, is the property and part and parcel of the United States. Resolved,—That there exists no power in this Govern ment to transfer its soil and the allegiance of its citizens, to the dominion, authority, control and subjection of any ' foreign power, prince, state, or sovereignty. Resolved,—That the abandonment or surrender of any portion of the territory of-Oregon would be an abandonment of the honour,character, and the best inte rests of the American people. Mr. Calhoun prefaced the introduction of his reso lutions by the following speech : Mr. Calhoun said he did not rise to oppose this mo tion, but to request that the Senate would permit him to make a few prefatory remarks before submitting the amendments he intended to move to the resolutions now r t . o P th re e s s i e de r n es t oc s u a t i i d on h s eA, t a h m oug ve h ry l c m a i n ie n h ot g g r i al e ifi m ed before the Senate. v my sup -1 por M t I i they have been moved by the Senator from Indiana. il Whatever objections there may be to them, they have ': at least the merit of being direct, open, and manly. They I deny, in direct terms, the authority of this Government II to make a treaty in reference to the Oregon territory, 'e and denounce, as I understand them, ~ by imnutption. IGovernment to settle the boundary by a division along the 49th parallel of north latitude. If the Senate -should support these resolutions, it is clear that the .question can only be settled thereafter by force of arms; • and should this be the case, and a war be commenced , ! , between this country and Great Britain, no peace can ever take place between the two countries but by our 1 ion dic •t t* at the cannon's mouth. ,• a ' Mr. President, the vote upon these resolutions will , draw a broad line, which cannotlbe misunderstood, be • tween those who are in favour of settling the question .by an appeal to arms, and those in favour of settling the question by a pacific course. I myself am in favour of a more pacific course—of an adjustment if possible, by negotiation.; and under these views and impressions, Mr. President, I have prepared a series of resolutions antagonistical to those of the Senator from Indiana, and asserting the opposite principles, which I propose to move by way of amendment to the resolu tions of the Senator, and ask also that they be printed. I think it is a proper occasion for avowing the send ' ments which I entertain upon this subject. I am for peace, if peace can be honourably preserved. lam in - favour of adjusting the difficulty, if it can be adjusted, by negotiation ; if it cannot be adjusted by negotiation, :I am in favour of that course to be pursued by this Go vernment which shall throw the onus of a war from our shoulders upon Great Britain. I approve of the course . taken by this Government in offering the 49th parallel, - .under all the circumstances of the case, as the boun .dary. I believe that the desire of the Executive is, like •my own, for peace—for an honourable peace ; but if an ;honourable peace cannot be preserved, if we are to have 'war, I will stand by my country in every emergency. lI shall never be found antagonist to her, though over ; ruled by those who take an opposite view from my own. :But should a war take place, it is not going to be an o rdinary war ; and while I will give every support to 1 n ly country. I will hold those responsible who rashly p recipitate the country into a war. Sir, on a deliberate v iew of the question, I hope that whenever it comes fi iirly before the Senate for discussion, we shall discuss i't in the calmest manner, and when its true grounds are a learly seen and understood, we shall come to the con e] lusion to avert a war if possible ; but if not, that we al iall be united as one man in support of the country. Mr. Calhoun, in again rising to reply, said he rose b 3 allude to a single remark which applied to himself p srsonally. The Senator from Indiana had endeavoured tc ' draw a contrast between his (Mr. C.'s) course upon tli e Texas question, and his course upon this. The vi ews which governed me (said Mr. C.) upon that ques tit in, govern me also upon this. I pursued, in reference to Texas, what I conceived to be the best course. If I sc ted boldly and promptly on that occasion, it was be cite use boldness and promptness were necssary to success. It was the golden opportunity ; and one year's delay -would have lost Texas to us for ever. If lam for more deliberate measures on this occasion, it is not because I am zot a friend to Oregon. On the contrary, Oregon las no better friend than myself ; there is no one who would venture more to save it. But it is asked why Ido 'not pursue the same course of action as in regard to )Texas. If the gentleman will refer to my remarks in 1843, be will find that the views which governed me then are the same with those which govern me now. I believe that precipitancy will lose you Oregon for ever ' no, not for ever ; but it will lose you Oregon in the rst struggle, and then it will requi re another stru gg le hereafter, when we become stronger, to regain it. I will not go into this question now; I am prepared, aohen it comes up for discussion, to show, if argument mei show, that the principles involvedill in those present resolu dons, so far from gaining Oregon , i lose every inch of that territory; and it i s on that ac count, as much from the fear of losing Oregon a s from the desire of avoiding war, that I have proposed amend urents to the Senator's resolutions. Sir , if my adv ice w for the 1 'had been pursued we should never have been involved din this controversy at all. I now act upon circumstances .not produced by myself, and I will do the best I can to s ave the territory of Oregon, which I hold as valuable at ; the Senator from Indiana himself can do. If you in st itute a comparison between Oregon and Texas, I w ould say that the former is as valuable to us as the la, tter, and I would as manfully defend it. If the Sena tot • and myself disagree, we disagree only as to the me, Ins of securing Oregon, and not as to its importance. Si r , I intend to say nothing about censuring the Presi dents I simply said that, by implication, a censure would b e cm . , veyed. Ido not suppose that the Senator intends to refle, et upon the President; but there can be no dif ference, as far as this question is concerned, between the time when the proposition for a division tat the forty ninth parai llel was made and now. It was as sensible then, as i t w culd be to repeat the offer now. He (Mr. Cain oun) was no greater advocate for the ae quieition of territory in the south than in the north. Tine Hon. Senator was perfectly aware of his sentiments ut ion this subject. Whilst he was a Member of Mr. M onroe's Cabinet he had always been averse to disturb th, 1 possession of Spain in Cuba ; he was so now ; he w. 3 old be the last man to make such a movement. When tins proper time should arrive, and this subject be brass ight up for discussion, he thought he would be able to s how, beyond all doubt, that the reasons which gover. tied him upon the Texas question, governed him a l so m oon this question ; and that if there was any dif fermute between the Senator and himself, it was only as to the The o.ns to be employed in effecting the same result. H e desired more particularly to make some remarks in re ference to the observations of the Senator from Dela w' are. He assured the Senator that he was as much av erse to forcing a discussion as the Senator himself cot .1d be ; but he thought the Senator was entirely mis tak, en in supposiug that this was not a case in which the Sea ate was not called on to exercise the right of discus sion and of action.

MULLINGAR, FRIDAY, JANUARY 23.—At ten o'clock this morning the Lord Chief Justice and the Lord Chief Baron took their seats on the bench, and the long panel was called over. The Court was very much crowded, and a great majority of the landed proprietors and ma gistrates of Westmeath were present. Prisoner's counsel challenged, as on the first trial, 20 jurors peremptorily. They thought to set aside others, assigning " cause, such as their having expressed opi 1 Mons. unf2,,,,,,..1,1,, +„ .1.- -..:,.„,„ „„ A i.,,...... __! ,• Brian Saar, wag than i l laaari at tha liar_ and the Clerk of the Crown read the indictment, charging him with having discharged a loaded gun at Sir Francis Hopkins, on the night of the 18th of November, 1845. He pleaded not guilty. The following jury were then sworn to try the pri soner :—Charles Arabia, of Moyvoughly, foreman ; James Fetherstone, J.P., of Balrintober ; T. F. Le strange, of Lynn ; Win. Bagnall, Rahue ; John Dud geon, Rostella ; Richard Magan, Rockfield ; John Rochford, Sidebrook ; Mark A. Levinge, Eniscoffy- ; Wm. Perry, Ballnagore ; Win. H. Magill, Littleton, J.P. ; Edward Hodgson, J.P., Twyford ; Samuel Reynell, J.P., Archerstown. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then stated the Case to the jury. It is not necessary to recapitulate the facts; they have been already fully published. Sir Francis Hopkins was then examined. Having detailed all the facts of the case within his knowledge, he said, with regard to the identity of the prisoner, I caught the man who had attacked me by the throat, and I almost choked him; I immediately recognised a coum tenance which I knew, and I was so astonished, that I I felt it difficult to express my surprise that Seery was the ! man who assailed me; I forced his head into the air between me and the sky, to take his side face, and the man's countenance, even if I had never seen him before, was indelibly infixed upon my mind. I never had the , least doubt of him. Mr. MURPHY, Q.C., cross-examined the witness at considerable length. Mr. MURPHY, at the close of the cross-examination, asked witness why it was that the name of Brian Seery was omitted from his information? Sir F. Hopkins said, in reply, that the Government did not pay the sti pendiary magistrates 6001. a year that he should tell them their duties. Mr. MURPHY—Mr. French took the informations, and do you consider that he was ignorant of his duty? Sir F. Hopkins—l consider that the omission of the name was a very great omission; there were two or three other magistrates in the room, to all of whom I spoke, and they were all within hearing at the time I made the depositions. Mr. MURPHY—Sir Francis Hopkins, was not Mr. French the person who was responsible for those infor mations ? Sir F. Hopkins—Yes. Mr. MURPHY—Did you read over the informations be fore you swore them ? Sir F. Hopkins—Yes. The jury retired to their box at eight o'clock, and at half-past nine o'clock four constables were sworn to keep the jury. The JUDGE stated that if the jury agreed to their verdict before twelve o'clock, he would come down and receive it. At twelve o'clock the jury returned a verdict of guilty. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.-The juvenile night here, on Saturday last, was such a complete bumper that the manager has arranged another for Friday next, that our young friends may enjoy the treat of seeing the pantomime at the early hour of eight o'clock. Not only will the Risleys appear on this occasion, but Flora Fabbri will act and dance in the Devil to Pay, for the last time, as her own benefit and final appearance take place the following night, Saturday next. Dr. Beasley, of Uxbridge, had on Thursday last pre sented to him a very handsome silver tea and coffee service, by gentlemen who had been educated at his establishment, as a token of the regard and affection they entertained for his upright and amiable character, as also for the zeal and ability which he had manifested as their preceptor.

A rumour was current in the musical circles on Satur day night, that Covent-garden Theatre had been let for three years for a second Italian opera-house. It was added that a deposit had been already paid to the proprietors, and that the theatre is to be entirely re-decorated. Names of artists al ready engaged were given—namely, Madame Persiani, Ma dame Viardot Garcia, Madame Frezzolini, Signor Salvi, Signor Tamburini, Signor Ronconi, &c. Grisi and Marie were to join in the season of 1847, after the expira tion of their engagement at her Majesty's Theatre this season. We give the report without vouching for its accuracy ; but we are well aware that the project of a second Italian company in London has been long on the tapis. SIR ROBERT PEEL'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND REPEAL OF THE WIN DOW-TAX. A very fully attended meetings of delegates from the several metropolitan parishes took place in the Court-house, Marylebone, on Friday night last, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best measures to be adopted_Sfor . obs tailing a repeal of the window duties. Kr. W. Loveridge, of • Marylebone, occupied the chair : and in addition to the delegates present, Lord Duncan, M.P. for Bath, and Sir C. Napier attended. The CHAIRMAN having briefly opened the business of the evening, ' Mr. H. C. Wrlssox, of St. Marylebone, read letters.from Sir Robert Peel, Col. Fox, Col. 'T. Wood, and Capt. Rous, M.P., in reply to letters sent to those gentlemen, enclosing a copyof a memorial agreed to at a former meeting of the delegates for a repeal of the window-tax. The Premier and Col.T. Wood merely acknowledged the receipt of the memo rial, Col. Fox 44 that he must wait until hesaw what were the , intentions of Ministers," and Captain Rons "that having, on a former occasion, seconded Lord Dunean's motion with reference to these duties, his opinions real/tined un changes:. Mr. Wilson then, at some length, entered into the question of the oppressive character of the window tax, and what course should be pursued with reference to ob taining a repeal of that tax. In his opinion he thought the best course to be 'pursued would be, if practicable, for one Member of Parliament to have an interview with the Premier, atsd suggest to him that some -notice ishould be taken of this tax. He was well aware that It had been said, s.enne time ago, that Sir Robert Peel was a man, who, after he made his arrangements, was not to be moved by any representations; but he (Hr. Wilson) thought that Sir Robert Peel, having waited the last few weeks to see the effect produced by the protection meetings on the one hand, and those of the Anti-Corn-law League on - Ai • the other, as to what course he should pursue, would gladly receive any suggestion in favour of a large body of people, so as to enlist on his side a larger amount of public opinion.— (Hear.) Sir Robert Peel bad on former occasions admitted there were great objections to this window tax, and that when a general revision of the taxation Of the people here after took place, this important tax should receive his best consideration.—(llear.) Lord DUNCAN, M.P., said it gave him great pleasure to meet again those gentlemen • from whom last year he bad received so much valuable -information with respect to the great work in which they were all engaged.—(Hear, hear.) He intended on Monday night to give notice of a ns-. Lion, not as in the last session, for a Committee of the whole House to take the subject into consideratirsn, but far a total repeal of the tax.—(Elear, hear.) He thought that the best course to be pursued. He could bring the motion on at any part of the session, or he could move it as an amendment to the financial statement ; but he thought they had better see what the statement was, as in his opinion some allusion would bo made to the subject They had had a great many changes lately, but he must say that Sir Robes Peel last year met this question in a spirit of gffilt fairness, and said that a great many things had been brought forward, and the question had been put before him in such a light as he had not looked at it before, and that it should receive his consideration, He pressed him (Lord Duncan) not to divide the House; but he, never taking counsel from an adversary, did—with what result they were all acquainted.-(Hear.) Ills was not - going to enter into the whole question or the dressive character of this tax; but in the course of the ot.e he was struck with some remarks which fell from Lord Francis Egerton, with reference to the condition of the people. Coming from a party with whom he (Lord Dun can) differed, he thought they were of the utmost importance. The Noble Lord said,' " Let 'us give them other lUxuries, air, water, .drainag h e, comforts necessary to man, and yet of w hi t man so frequently tasted nothing, and let us• :perform. those offices of humanity by ridding the country of the 'angry disputes, the jealousies and hesatburning, by which it is torn asunder."—( Hear, hear.) Such opinions comirg from a Man like Lord Francis Egerton, and representing se large anti thickly populated a constituency, they would be doing well to ask his Lordship to turn his attention to the cha racter of this tax and its injurious effects. , -(Hear, hear.) From remarks made, in the course of his speech, by Sir Robert Peel, he (Lord Duncan) believed that some allusion would be made to this oppressive tax.—(Here the Noble Lord read an extract from the Speech.)—The tenour of the whole speech induced hint to think that their cause stood in a much better position than they anticipated. They had seen lately the great change which had taken place in the actions of the Prime Minister, and all this had been done solely by public opinion. The moment the public began to show their feeling on any particular subject, the next minute the Governnent was forced t o b ow t o that opinion or give way to others. There was no other way of ruling in this country than by the force of public opinion. —(Hear, hear.) If they expected to carry this question there was no other way than by directing public attention to it, as there were great num bers in the country strongly in favour of doing away with window duties. Let them look at what had been done with the corn-laws. He was one of twenty-seven who went out on the corn-law question, and they were thought to be very radical people. What had public opinion done for that ques tion?—(Hear.) After some further remarks, the Noble Lord concluded by stating that he should feel much obliged to any, gentleman present who could give him information with regard to the working of this tax, so that he might be prepared with data to go upon when he brought forward his motion.—(Hear, hear.) Sir C. NAPIER, M.P., said he almost entirely agreed with the Noble Lord in the observations which had fallen from hint. He thought that by giving notice of motion for a repeal of the window duties on Monday night, it would call the attention of Government to that tax, and might be the means, if it was not one of the points to be touched upon in the financial statement of Sir Robert Peel, of its being alluded to on Tuesday night.—(Hear) With respect to what bad fallen from Mr. Wilson, be (Sir C. Napier) was of opinion that it would be perfectly useless for a single Member of , Parliament to wait upon Sir Robert Peel ilotette. uy'it. tnougut th e A n nie Lord (Lon; Duncan) vias,pe'rfectly right in the course lie intended to pursue; but they might depend upon it, that without calling meetings throughout the metropolis and petitioning for a repeal of the window taxes. they would do nothing. Agitation was now quite the fashion, for nothing could be obtained without it. —(Laughter.) Nothing could be more legitimate, and why not agitate for the abolition of such an oppressive tax as the window duties?—(llear, hear.) Lord DUNCAN said that he certainly should put up his notice of motion on Monday, which would show them that those who for some time had been striving to obtain the abolition of those ditties were not quite dean. Mr. EWELL, of St. James's, said that he thought his Lordship had taken a very proper course, for the moment the notice was put upon the books it would be made known through the medium of the press to all parts of the kingdom. Lord DUNCAN begged to state that he had received com munications from Plymouth and other places, to the effect that in the event of a dissolution, of which there was every probability, the question of a repeal of the irindOw . duties would claim the attention of the electoral body.—(Hear.) After some further discussion, in which Messrs. Kennett, Savage, Wilkes, and other gentlemen took part, Mr. Witsost moved a resolution to the effect that a copy of the memorial transmitted last week to Sir Robert Peel, be sent, with the extract from Lord F. Egerton's speech, to the latter Noble Lord, so that they might be able to enlist the co-operation of his Lordship in obtaining a repeal of the window duties. This having been seconded and carried, votes of thanks were also carried to Lord Duncan and Sir Charles Napier, for their kindness in attending the meeting. Lord DUNCAN, in returning thanks, would advise them to take a leaf out of the book of the League, and cars for no party who was in power, or who was out, but support men only who would use their best exertions to obtain a repeal of this tax.—(Hear.) The usual compliment having been paid to the Chairman, the meeting adjourned. REMARKABLE FACT.—COMPETITION.—The situation of secretary to the Manchester Athenaeum having become vacant, no fewer than 440 applicants sent in their credentials! Salary only 1501.

He hscl been matched to run for 100 sovereigns a-side with Mr. Alexander Brown's horse, Jacob Faithful, at the next Wetherby Steeple Chase, which is to come off on the 6th of March next ; but about a fortnight ago Mr. Brown bad declared off, and paid forfeit. The Marquis of Hertford and the Earl of Wilton. are said to be among the Peers who have pledged themselves to support Sir Robert Peel's measares. CAUTION TO THE PURCHASERS OF FLOWERS AND PLAirrs.—A fellow, dressed as a gardiner, is going round the metropolis selling, at good prices, apparently fine wholesome laund geraniums, which are nothing but slips, totally devoid of root, and strongly girded by thick twine, so that should the dupe of a purchaser attempt plucking the sli ps they remain immoveable. The imposition is not detected for a few weeks, not until their drooping condition induces the owner to transplant them, when the fraud developes itself. The trick is novel, ingenious, and invariably successful.
