WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, SEPT. 30.—The House last night adjourned at about 11 o'clock, after passing the Bill to post pone the payment of the fourth instalment to the States. The motion to reconsider was carried, and Mr. Pickens moved to amend the Bill by striking out the words " until further pro vision be made by law," and to insert " until the Ist day of January, 1839," and the motion prevailed. The Bill, as thus amended, was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading by a vote of 118 to 106. The Bill was finally read a third time and passed. The amendment wholly alters the character of the Bill, and removes many of the strongest objections to it. It is now a Bill to postpone the payment of the instalment for a limited time, instead of virtually repealing the Act, so far as the 4th instalment is concerned. It will now require no further legis. lation to carry the Deposit Act into effect, at the time pro posed. It is now clear that the Bill would not have passed, without this amendment. The Treasurj, Note Bill is to meet with some opposition. The main point of discussion is likely to be on the question whether the notes shall bear interest or not. The time is short for action on that and the Bill postponing the payment of the bonds. SPECIE, SEPT. 30. American gold, 5 to 5-1 per cent, premium Sovereigns, 5 dol. 10c. to 5 dol. 124 c. each Spanish doubloons, 16 dol. 50e. to 16 dol. 90c. each Patriot ditto, 16 dol. 35c. to 16 dol. 40c. each Spanish dollars, 61 to 7 per cent. premium Mexican ditto, 6 to 6i per cent. premium American Halves, 5 to 54 per cent. premium Five Franc-piece, 1 dol. The transactions in specie at the Board to-day included 1,600 Mexican dollars at 6, and 4,000 dollars in halves at 5 per cent, premium ; the latter deliverable at the seller's option within ten days. The market presents no change of any im portance ; the business in specie for the last few days has been limited. Treasury draughts are held at 4- 4 1 - per cent. premium. We hear of no sales, however, having been made at this rate ; it is supposed the amount of drafts now in market is very light. The appearance of the Stock has not varied in any way since yesterday ; the transactions to-day were more limited, but prices have been fully supported. United States Bank 1171 to 118. _ _ Purchasers of Sterling Exchange having appeared more freely in the market to-day, and the amount of prime bills offering being more moderate than had been anticipated, im parted considerable firmness to holders, and an advance of about one per cent. was ultimately realized on the rates de manded during the week. The transactions commenced at 14 per cent. premium, and closed at 15 per cent. British Government bills at 30 days'sight were held at 16 per cent., at which rate a few sales were made. A considerable amount was taken on France at `2 c. Bills on Hamburgh were sold at 37 to 371 cents. ; on Bremen at 821 to 844 cents. ; and on Holland at 42 cents. Specie—sovereigns, 5 dol. 10 cents. to 5 del. 121 e. ; Mexican dollars, 6 to 6,1 per cc-mt. prem. ; five-franc pieces, idol. to 100,1 c.; American gold and half-dollars, 5 to 5-1 per cent. prem. The amount of specie shipped by the packets to sail this day is estimated at 150,000 dollars. Bills of five dollars on the Bank of Lancaster, Pennsyl vania, altered to fifty are in circulation in this city. The figure 5 has been erased by some chymical process, and 50 substituted. The fifty in the body of the bil is written.

Some curious commercial movements are taking place in the south. 'I he sub-treasury scheme meets with ready sup portersin South Carolina. The following statement is published by Henry Schultz, of that state, as containing the amount of specie actually 'sent from New York, since the suspension of specie payments :- SPECIE GONE FROM NEW YORK TO EUROPE IN 1837, February 3, by the packets this week, to Liverpool Dollars and London March 17, ditto to Liverpool April 8, ditto to London May 13, ditto to Liverpool and London May 15, Toronto arrived in London with ... 40,000 May 15, Westminster May 17, by packets arrived in Liverpool 613,000 May 23, by packets this week to London, Liver pool, and Havre 831,640 • June 1, by packets to ditto June 8, by packets to ditto June 9, by George Washington, to Liverpool 500,000 June 10, by the Europe to ditto June 16, by the Hibernia, to ditto June 22, by the Columbus, to ditto 500,000 June 24, by the packets to ditto ............

Now by the Treasury tables, it appears that the official export fur the same period is only about 4,500,000 dollars. Setting aside the " moonlight" export as a bit of southern poetry, it is highly probable that the remaining 0 daylight" export is nearer the truth. In fact the " Treasury statements," so far as specie is concerned, may be deemed and taken to be " Treasury lies." The Baltimore Patriot of the 30th states that the Bill to postpone the October instalment of the deposits to the States, finally passed the House last night by a vote of 118 ayes and 106 noes—the whole of the New York " Conservatives," and all the Members from South Carolina, except the Hon. Waddy Thompson, voting with the spoilsmen and experimenters This, however, cannot be called an administration triumph, for the amendment of Mr. Pickens, of South Carolina, was car ried, which postpones the instalment to a limited period, Ja nuary 1, 1839, instead of indefinitely, as was the intention of the friends and:patrons of the measure. The Bill, as it origi nated in the Treasury department, and passed the Senate, could not have passed the House. Mr. Adams's amendment, requiring a pledge from the Government for the payment of the money, was voted down. A number of other amendments were rejected. The House adjourned about eleven o'clock. Isaac M' Kim moved the previous question on the final passage of the Bill. It is stated that the yellow fever is at Natchez, and ten cases had occurred there on the 19th ; the deaths have subse quently been from 10 to 14 daily. Six hundred and eighty-nine bales of this year's cotton crop had arrived at New Orleans, having come down by the steam-boat Bayou Sara. It is calculated that this year's crop will extricate the south from its embarrassment. The commercial accounts at New York arc favourable, and state that there is a gradual improvement in all parts of the country, and that the coasting trade was recovering from the torpor under which it was placed during the spring and sum mer, which was considered a never-failing criterion of a re turn to a sound and wholesome state of things. The sales in specie on the 30th were limited to 1,600 Mexi can, at 6 per cent, premium ; and 4,000 in half dollars, at 5 per cent. ten days. The rate now asked on Treasury drafts is 41 to 4 per cent. premium ; shares of the United States Bank were quoted at 118. Exchange on England 14 to 15 ; British Government bills, at 30 days, were held at 16, and few sold at that rate. At Charleston there has been a firm market in upland cot ton, but without any improvement in prices. The stock on sale continues very limited. In the Montreal markets the business done at auction dur ing the past week has been extensive, and thew has also been more activity by private sale. Some of the fall ships have arrived, and bought generally few goods, and the same is reported likely to be the case with those which are still to come. This appears to have inspired buyers with more con fidence, and trade wears an improving aspect: ASHRS.—The price is better for both sorts; Pots have sold readily at 275., and in a few instances, for very good lots, 275. 3d., and even 275. 6d., have been paid. Sales of Pearls at 28s. 6d. a 28s. 9d., but 29: , . is now generally asked. Paovisioss.—Pork is steady, but there is little doing. New Beef is offered on contract for early October delivery at dols for prime. WHEAT AND FLOUR.—There is nothing new in the Wheat market. For a cargo white Dantzig at Quebec, something over 7s. for 60 lbs., was offered and refused, deliverable here. The market continues bare of Flour; U. C. fine is still retailing at 40s. Wese INDIA PRODUCE.—For both Sugar and Rum there is a good demand, and prices are steady ; bright Muscovadocs are looking up. Sales of Leeward Rum, weak, 1 a 5, has been made at 3s. Bd. per gallon, and of Molasses at 2s. 4d. EXCHANGE.—The decline in New York has affected the rate here for bills on England, and merchants' bills cannot be quoted above 18 a 19 ; sovereigns have declined to 265. 3d. The Matilda, for Genoa, has put bac k with loss of bowsprit and starboard bow stove, having been in contact with the Earl Grey, for Calcutta, off Holyhead. The latter proceeded. The Harriet and the Jessie, and the John Troughton, from Liverpool, has arrived at Charleston ; the Virginia, from ditto, at Alexandria; the Cyclops, from ditto, at Plymouth; the Macedonia, from ditto ; the Portland and Ellen, from ditto, at St. Andrew's; the China and Superb, from ditto, at Charles ton ; the Jefferson, from ditto, at Matanzas. A brig was seen on shore on Carysfort Reef 27th August, with sails furled and top-gallant yards across, supposed to have gone on the night previous. ( From tho New York Morning Courier, Oct. 2.) We learn from the New Orleans papers of the 24th, that the fever was declining rapidly. The new cases have decreased in number, and the disease does not assume the malignant type which is usual as the season advances. The change in the weather had produced the most beneficial results. The in terments on the 31st were 16 ; on the 22d, 49 ; and on the 23d, 32. Ton easels had been reported at Natchez. Business was beginning to revive and produce coming in by the steam-boats from up the river. Between the 17th and 23d, 8,757 barrels of flour had been received, besides other articles. On the 21st and 23d, 208 passengers had arrived there. The yellow fever had entirely ceased at Havanna. FIRE AT NATCHEZ —On the morning of the 14th inst., Natchez was again visited with a destructive fire. It com menced in a wooden tenement and spread rapidly to other buildings, destroying three built of brick, two stores high. The loss, estimated at the lowest computation, is sixty thou sand dollars. The Mobile Mercantile Advertiser states that the health of city continued good, and that no epidemic of any kind existed there. The exchange on England was 14 to 15. British Govern. meet bills, at. 30 days, were upheld at 16, and very few sold al that rate. The price of specie was still depressed. Bank o 1 the United States shares were quoted at 118.

THE LATE SIR MARK WOOD'S STUD. The sale of this unrivalled racing and breeding stud took place at Hare Park, four miles from Newmarket, a little after twelve o'clock on Saturday, and attracted a very large at tendance of sporting characters of the highest class. Th ere were also several foreigners present, all anxious to get the brood mares, and nearly all, we are happy to state, disap pointed. The stud, altogether, was unique of its kind, but the most interesting lots were the brood mares Camarine and Lucetta. Camarillo was purchased of Lord Berners, at three years old, for 1,400 guineas, and proved herself to be the best mare seen on the turf since Violante. She is out of the same dam as Recovery, Mayday, and Phosphorus, and is now nine years oil. Lucetta was bought of Mr. Batson, at the same age, fur a large sum (2,000 guineas, we believe), was beaten in two or three of her early races, but trained on, and proved a valuable purchase. Sho is eleven years old. The yearlings out of these mares are their second produce, their first foals hating died. They are remarkably active and promising ; in deed, it was observed of the yearlings generally that they were unusually large and racing-like. The fancy lot of the young stock, however, was the Lucetta foal, which is, beyond doubt, the most perfect ever seen—the great price for it and most of the other lots serve to prove that when blood and appearance are combined the foreign purchasers will never have a chance wi:li the English admirers of thorough bred stock. There were several commissions from Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Germany, America, and France, for Camarine and Lucetta_. all of them were liberal, but fell infinitely short of the prices realised ; the Bustard mare and two or three of the horses in training are all that arc likely to quit the country. From the f thawing return it will be seen that the six brood mares fetched 3,521 guineas, the seven horses in training 1,198 guineas, the three two years old 766 guineas, the five year lings 2,235 guineas, and the four foals 1,181 guineas; total, 8,905 gnineas.

THEAT RES. ADELPIIL A new piece wl,-; produced last night after the curtain dropped on Rori3O'llfore, with the title of The Death Token. It is evidently takon from the French, and seems calculated to command the admiration of the Porte St. Martin, but we doubt its ultimate triumph here, though Mrs. Yates ex erts herself in the most effective manner, and Mr. O'Smith enacts the ruffian with due propriety of language and costume. A country girl, engaged to be married, sits up waiting for her lover, and hears three taps at her window given by an invisible hand, which, according to the tradition of the province, de notes that sonic very dear friend is that hour to die. She seizes a light, calls up her family, and determines to explore the forest, through which her lover's route lay. Her fears are confirmed. He has met his death from the hand of the Lord of the Manor who is in love, and has been rejected by the maiden, and she finds die corpse, with all the evidence that violence has been used. She solemnly swears to avenge his death, and at the very mo ment when she is about to espouse the Baron, to whom her father has delivered her up, she discovers the marks of his guilt and that of his accomplices, and she charn , es him with the crime, and convicts him even at the altar. The Baron is seized, but the accomplice determines not to die without an• other victim. He stabs the poop girl before yielding up his own life, and thus ends the piece, in a surfeit of love and mur der. To relieve the weight of so much horror, Mr. Wilkin son is introduced in the character of a maker of fireworks, and some ono else, unknown to fame, as a disconsolate lover. The author intended, by this episode, that the house should laugh, and certainly every body did laugh, but not with pleasure. Occasionally a hiss was heard in the tumult ; but that made the merriment only the more active. The house was very full. OLYMPIC. Last night the burletta of Hugo Bambino was revived at this theatre, and the part of the hero was enacted by Mr. Farrel), with all the tact and vis comica which distinguish his portraiture of odd, old, honest, simple, enthusiastic— and what may, with propriety, be termed original characters. Hugo is the respected schoolmaster of a little village in the vicinity of Ferrara, whose artless patriotism aspires to serve his country in a station nothing less than that of Minister of Finance. The acting of Mr. Farren was throughout most excellent. The house was frequently convulsed with laughter, and between times deeply touched with sympathy. He was the lion of the piece, and (as Mr. J. Bland pronounced him) " the Alphar and Omegar of s c h oo l mas t ers ;" so we nee d .say nothing further of the piece than that it was enthusiastically applauded. Madame Vestris introduced two songs, ono of which, .6 The chiming of those vesper bells," entirely in the minor key, had a peculiar effect—tenderly expressive of the melancholy reminiscences to which the words referred—a coincidence of sense and sound which we hear too seldom, either on or off the stage. The performances concluded with another admirable stirring burletta, which we have not hitherto had the opportunity of introducing to our readers, and called (by way of astonishment) A Quiet Day 1 And such a day ! Poor Keeley (Mr. Augustus Somerday) who has just come in for a small country estate, with a great expectancy of peaceful and quiet days, is exposed to a morn ing's martyrdom that would have totally excruciated the pa tience of Siged, Emperor of Ethiopia. His friend Richard ( Mr. Kcrridge) first rushes in, to be hid, after shooting somebody in a duel, and dictates a letter to his lady-love, explanatory of his forced absence, which, as his arm has been disabled, he insists on Keeley writing- for him. While the latter is thus engaged inditing and repeating the tender message to " My dear Emma" he is overheard by his wife (Mrs. Keeley, of course—'twas charmingly appropriate), who soon affords him sufficient reason to conclude that he bad been too precipitate in promising himself " a quiet day." Meantime a married lady, Mrs. Bryan O'Reilly, who had been watched by the scandalous eyes of Mrs. Clack, in the pru dential act of recovering some love letters from a former lover, retreats unobserved into Mr. Keeley's summer-house (it is useless to call him Mr. Augustus Somerday, be must be Keeley to the end of the chapter.) Here he is discovered by his wife, and the fire of jealousy flames forth fiercely in continua tion. The puzzled husband, to extricate himself, tells a fib, that the lady is Miss Emma Venture, who has run away from her guardian, Stately. " The injured wife," to make all sure, locks her up, and sets about writing her grievances to her brother the lawyer, and her cousin the phy s i c i an . T o a dd to Keeley' s qu i et , Mr. Bryan O'Reilly enters, grieving for his lost wife, and threatening to pulverize the delinquent who seduced her. The real runaway, Emma Venture, now appears in the disguise of a young officer (escaping from the persecu tion of her guardian, who wanted to wed her himself), and faints in the arms of Keeley, as Stately's voice is heard in pursuit. In this position she is discovered by Mrs. Keeley. Mr. Bryan O'Reilly discovers his wife, and rushes forth, to pulverize the man of quiet, when he is appeased by a plausible explanation, which Keeley, in the extremity of his fright, and the urgency of his ingenuity, concocts on the instant, and the other proofs of his innocence are at length admitted, even by his wife, to be so undeniable that she forgives him ; or, as he states it, " No, my dear, 'tis I must forgive you." The rapid convolutions and evolutions of plot and counterplot were almost enough to throw even a stager like Keeley into a stage fever. ST. JAMES'S. Last night, after the representation of the opera of the Castle of Andalusia, in which Mr: Braham played his old cha racter of Don Alphonso, introducing several o f his old songs, there was played for the first time at this house, the adthirable burletta of Bachelors' Buttons. The piece is well known to most play-going folks. Its peculiar attraction is in enabling one performer to sustain several characters. Thus Mrs. Stir successively—and successfully—represented first Emily " a fair specimen of a spirited young lady, fond of her own way and nobody else's." Secondly, Fanny Wilton, " a romp, extremely partial to scratch-cradle and bachelors' buttons," with a new song, entitled " Captain Brown" (the words by Mrs. C. B. Wilson, with Blewitt's music.) Thirdly, Tom Wilton, " a sportsman of the first water, all blood and no bone." And fourthly, Dolly Dumps, "a maid of all-work, useful it' not ornamental." She adopts those various charac ters for the purpose of seeing Mr. Henry Masterton (Mr. Sydney), to whom her father had proposed to marry her; and certainly, though it was a perilous experiment to secure a hus band, the trials were uncommonly agreeable to the spectator. The female romp—the sporting youth—and Dolly Dumps, the maid of all-work, were admirably pourtrayed, and con vulsed the house with laughter. The performance was justly applauded by a well and fashionably attended house. CITY OF LONDON. Last night a melodrama in two acts, from the pen of Mr. T. E. Wilks, called The Golden Fox, or the Dream of the Bride, was performed at this theatre for the first time. The piece was well received throughout, and the characters were well sustained. The curtain dropped amidst loud applause, %S ithout a single dissentient. It was announced for repetition every evening. Mrs. Honey, who was prevented by indispo sition from making her appearance at the opening of the the dire for the season on Mondey last, then came forward and delivered the following address. On her entree she was very loudly and enthusiaAically cheered From western parts I come to seek for fame Where nought on Folgate's known save Folgate's name. Where lisping beaux, if asked this way to stray, ' Cry, Where can we change horses on the way ?' And ere they do the arduous journey take, Sit up the over night their wills to make, So far, so good, it meets the olden say— ' Where there's a will there always is a way.' Why should they linger there, like idle dreamers ? • Distance is distanced now by 'bus' and steamers. Whate'er your motive, or whate'er your place, A locomotive stares you in the face. Where safety is secured by such precaution, No one's blown up, excepting for extortion ; And at an omnibus who'd dare to scoff? Increasing numbers show no falling off. All near and dear, although they're miles apart, Arc nearer pressed, and cheaper to the heart ; To further,—no, to near, this my design— I'll lay a railway down; and get you in a line. Excuse me if my thoughts have been on pelf, And that I've said but little on myself. These boards I've taken for the drama's forte Are little seasoned, and want your support. BLit bless'd by that, the properest of props, Then starts Melpomene, Thalia hops, And even Shakspeare may a place engage And travel sweetly by the Honey stage. I throw myself upon you—cease alarms—. I do not mean exactly in your arms. No, no, your hands—now don't sit there humdrumming, But punning say—the Honey is she coming ? 1,560 1,000 (Bell rings. The prompter rings, and prompter I'd have been 350 In my appearence on this happy scene; But that fell !sickness, with his i ron h an d, 180 50 Held me a pri soner t o hi s stern command ; 2 When such the case, he needs must have his will, 105 'Twas treating you not well, and me quite ill; But health has sent this shocking monster stalking, 100 Women are ill, indeed, when tired of talking; • But still, with heart and soul, I'll ever strive 400 To make you happy in this little hive, 80 And tell them in the west this thing at least—. 83 The drama's star is rising in the East." This address was well spoken, and elicited throughout loud 510 applause, and at the conclusion the fair manageress was greeted with a shower of bouquets from all parts of the house. The 165 melodrama was followed by the laughable farce of Sudden 9 1 Thoughts, and the performances concluded with the drama of the Mill of the Pyrenees. The house was well filled with a 310 respectable audience.

(From the Tipperary Free Press). CARRICK-O.N-SUIR MEETING. On Monday last a large and respectable assemblage of the gentry and mercantile interests of Carrick, together with many substantial and working farmers from the neighbour ing parishes, met at the Besborough Arms Hotel, for the purpose of hearing Mr. Lamie Murray's expose of the ob jects of the National Life Assurance Society, and of con sidering the propriety of establishing a Branch thereof at Carrick-on-Suir. About two o'clock, the Rev. Mr. SANDYS, the Protes tant Rector of the parish, was called to the chair. After the business of the meeting had commenced, the Rev. Gentleman stated his inability to remain during the time likely to be occupied in the discussion of the objects of the meeting, and said that he would feel much pleasure in naming, as his substitute, a gentleman whose habits of business made him better qualified to preside—he would, therefore, propose that John Power, Esq., of Mount- Richard, should take the chair.—(Cheers.) Mr. POWER, on taking the Chair, said—Gentlemen, I am not sufficiently acquainted with the principles of the National Assurance Society to enter into any explanation of them ; but we shall have the pleasure of hearing one who is not only intimately acquainted with them, but who is ca pable of imparting in the most satisfactory way to us the information he possesses. Gentlemen, I need not name Mr. Murray to you—(Cheers)—l am sure you will hear him with due attention. , Mr. MURRAY then came forward, and was greeted with a hearty welcome. He said--Mr. Chairman and Gentle men, I believe I need not apologise to any in this room for trespassing on their attention—the active part which I have taken in the formation of an institution (the National Bank of Ireland) in which most of you are concerned, and which I has conferred advantages on the mercantile and agricultural classes, is not unknown to you.—(Cheers.) I trust that to allude to it is sufficient to secure me your attention on the present occasion, whilst developing the nature and poin ciples of an institution not of less importance to the different classes in the community.—( Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, it is not my intention to dilate at any great length on the be nefits to be derived from the establishment of a branch in this town of the National Life Assurance Society. I think it right to premise, that a small portion of the earnings of many of those persons whom I see before me will be suffi cient to secure to "their successors a provision, so that if they be suddenly taken away, their families will reap the benefit of their providence—( Hear)—and if we look to the various undertakings in England and in Ireland, and the large sums which have been raised from the earnings of the labouring classes, we must admit that such a providence to a great extent does exist. Life Assurances, as at present constituted, yield benefit only to the wealthier portion of society ; it is, indeed, quite impossible that the labouring . classes could manage to make those payments hitherto re quired by Insurance Companies, nor could the farmer avail himself of their conditions—and he has been obliged to have recourse to the Savings' Banks, in order to accom plish a small provision for his family : and here, I may say, that it is considered by many, that Government will not con tinue to encourage the rapid accumulation of Savings' Banks, which, since their institution, (only a few years) amounts to twenty millions—( Hear hear)—and which, if their increase be in the same ratio during the next 10 or 15 years, will probably amount to one hundred millions.— (Hear.) The slightest dissatisfaction between the people and the Government, which would cause even a moity of that sum to be withdrawn, would upset the mercantile sys tem, as both it and the country would be left at the mercy of the depositors, who might, at a short notice, easily claim more bullion from the Bank of England than what it pos sesses, and which forms at present the basis of mercantile credit. It is obvious, therefore, that it. is not the policy of an enlightened Government to encourage what might eventually endanger the commerce of the country, and spread misery and distrust throughout every class in society—but, rather to give a new direction to such accumulation, which, while it would be equally beneficial to society, would afford a greater degree of security to the State.—( Hear, hear.) I shall now proceed to illustrate a few of the benefits arising from this institution. Take the instance of a man having .51. spared in a Savings' Bank, who is aged 32 years, this sum paid annually, or at the rate of 2s. a week, would enable him to assure his life with this Society for 2001. ; if his death occurred, even after the first payment, his family would be entitled to the sum assured—but if he lived, and continued his policy, he would be enabled to withdraw two thirds of all the premiums that he had p,fid this institution which affords him equally all the advantages of a S wings' Bank, whilst at the same time he had effectually secured his family in the event of his death.—(Hear.) The benefits of such a combination will be easily perceived, and more particularly by the class of men to whom I am now address- ing myself.—( Hear, hear.) The sixty millions supposed to be the aggregate wealth of Life Assurance Societies is a sum abstracted and hemmed up from productive employ ment. Now, let us suppose that this Society had made progress, and that the sum I have mentioned instead of being exclusively the property of the income classes, be longed to the productive, with the capacity on their part of calling in two-thirds into active employment, I fearlessly assert that poverty would not walk abroad, and that the ne cessity for poor laws would in a great degree be diminished, or only have application to those who were wholly incapaci tated by age and infirmities.—(Hear, hear.) If a farmer hold 20 or 100 acres of land by a lease in which one or more lives remain unexpired, he can secure his interest therein by an insurance with this Society, and receive the amount so insured on the demise of such lives. Let us sup pose that the lands of Great Britain and Ireland were held by a tenure of lives, and that after the payment of rent and the charge for cultivation, a portion of the surplus was ap plied in this institution, to an insurance on the lives in each ' lease equal in value to the fee of each farm, the farmer would not only be protected against the contingency of his lease, but at the end of 30 years, each occupier of the land might possess either the fee of his holding, or a sum of money equal in value to it. Thus it is possible, out of the ,products of the soil by means of Life Assurance that the entire landed property of the country might be purch tsed by the occupiers —but what is still more extraordinary, it would be the purchase of estates by instalments.— ( Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) I have been a supporter of benefit societies only when there was nothing better to recommend to the consideration of the industrious trades- .. man. In such societies a man pays ls. a week, to get 12s. a week, if he be sick. Now, the average-of sickness in the whole of a man's life, is no more than 72 weeks, occurrijig, too, at different periods of his life, and there are many in stances of men never having been ill, and continuing to pay for that from which they never have derived any benefit.— ( Hear, hear, hear.) Mr. Duggan—My father, sir, was a member of a benefit society for thirty years, and paid all its dues, without having ever received one farthing from it.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. MURRAY—That is a strong case, indeed, and I would, therefore, say that benefit societies ought not to be encouraged, when a Life Assurance Society can be found to produce far more beneficial results. Who has not heard of the economy of power illustrated by the fact that a single gallon of water is capable of putting a thousand things into motion ? The National Loan Fund Assurance Society is the economy of CAPITAL, which is calculated, by its opera tions, to infuse new life and vigour into the labouring and trading classes.—(Hear, and cheers.) For instance, the premium paid to effect a policy of insurance is converted into so many modes of protection and availibility, only ob tainable by the present system—namely, a separate outlay for each benefit. This, then, may be said to be the true economy of capital, as mechanical arrangement is the eco nomy of power. Even as a mode of accumulation it is far superior to that of any other kind of investment, as a man shares the advantages of compound interest as well as his capital. Suppose that we establish a Branch here, the sum required to insure 5001. from a man aged about 30 years, would, in the event of his living even to the longest natural period of life, not amount to more than 3001., which, by the rules of this Society, he could pay at small monthly or weekly instalments.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Every one is almost acquainted with the rapid accumulation of money at compound interest, doubling and trebling itself after the first 14 and 20 years : the tables of insurance so cieties being formed on such calculations, the party in suring will not be surprised, on receiving in one large sum, a considerably greater amount than his entire contributions. The principle of this Society is to improve its money at in terest by rendering the greatest benefits in thoso districts from whence the capital is extracted ; or, in other words, throwing back again into reproductive activity, the means which the providence of the Society has furnished it with— and this brings me to the question of, Loan Funds. Tl.e Government very properly, at the representation of be nevolent individuals, passed an Act for the encourage ment of small Lo&n Funds—this Act enables a given number of personsin any district to lend a sum of money fur such purposes—this loan is represented by de bentures which may be payable upon notice, or at termi nable periods. Now, if paid at terminable periods, it is evident these debentures must fall to a discount, and, fluctuate in value according to the market price of other securities, and the convenience of the parties holding them. Should these debentures fall below par, a barrier is thereby formed to the increase of the funds—if, on the other hand, the debentures are payable on demand with notice, the capital of such Loan Fund is liable to be diminished from the same causes, and thus, by a mistaken financial arrange ment, a valuable institution is liable to be vitally affected. Now, a Loan Fund founded up on an i ncome i n prem i ums paid on policies, forms a basis of more permanent security to the borrower, and a l ess li a bili ty o f the funds being di, minished, than upon debentures fluctuating with each con tingency in the money market, and thus we rear up a splendid moral system strengthening o cr society air we go along, by arrangements within a circle b>" which one class of society are made to contribute to the saxnort of anither, whilst the institution itself, instead of drawnl/4 7 its lICCUM U .• o gtie its lations from the funds, is stimulating labour tbt.ug °n t t various channels.—(Hear, hear.) In this way u li great necessity of Poor Laws be obviated, and the .unpro ductive waste lands of this country be st-etched ow! ...nto cultivated fields by the stubborn application of label, r through the means of capital. Ido not intend to east into the question of Poor Laws, though much could be sal& on the subject in reference to this society. The Rev. Mr. SANDYS—May . I be permitted to ask, Mr. Murray, whether it is the intention of the Society to form a small loan fund ? Mr. MURRAY—It is not our intention to interfere with the objects of the Government—my observations were in tended to show that a loan fund could be better formed on the basis of such a Society, than through the instrumentality of debentures.—(Hear.) From the moment this Institu tion was made public in England, it was hailed by men of all parties, and particularly by the most intelligent portion of the community ; and I shall conclude by stating, that one strong motive in eliciting your attention here this day is, that the National Bank, of which I have the honour to be a Director, had its first branch established in Carrick, and, thanks to the good men whom I see around me, it is a flou rishing establishment, the utility of which you can all feel ; and I have therefore given precedence to Carrick (though Kilkenny and other towns have come forward) in the for mation of the first branch of the National Loan Fund As surance Society in this country, and which, after a careful examination of all its advantages, I earnestly hope will take as deep root amongst you.—(Cheers.) Mr. Murray, after thanking the meeting for the marked attention with which he was heard, sat down amidst great cheering. Mr. It. O'DONNELL asked, on behalf of the farmers in attendance, for tables of the rates of the Company, as it was the intention of several of them to ensure their lives for 100/. and upwards. Mr. MURRAY then stated from the tables the various rates, beginning at 15 years, and mentioned the intention of the Company to make provision for marriage portions. Mr. E. PowEa expressed his full concurrence in all that. had fallen from Mr. Murray, and to give a practical illus tration of his feeling that a branch of the National Loan Fund Assurance Society would be of material service to his native town, he would not only purchase shares, but insure his life in that institution for 1,0001. A voice in the crowd—That you may live long— ( Laughter.) Mr. MumeAv then stated that they could not spare more than 250 or 300 shares for Carrick—that such shares would bear an interest of .5 per cent., and that a bonus would be given to the shareholders every three or five years. The division of the profits would be ascertained by some of the most scientific men in England, and would be added to each policy.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN-4 will take 25 shares, certain—per haps I would take 50. Several other gentlemen, among whom we noticed" Dr. Purcell, Mr. Wm. Power, &c., put down their names for shares. On the motion of Mr. E. POWER, seconded by the Rev. Mr. Maaaissrv, Dr. Purcell was strongly recommended as physician, and Mr. Richard O'Donnell as law agent to the Company in Carrick-on-Suir. The resolutions, which will be found in our advertising columns, having been unanimously carr i e d , _ __ _ _ The Rev. Mr. MORRISSEY was then called to the Chair, and thanks returned to Mr. John Power for his proper and dignified conduct therein, after which the meeting sepa rated, the following gentleman having first intimated their intentio❑ to insure their lives with Mr. Dalton, - the agent appointed for Carrick-on-Suir, viz.:— Edward Power, for ..£1,000 P.

COVENTRY and TAMLYN resumed the COLU ty revision yesterday at the Guildhall, City, for the purpose of closing several lists in which cases stood over for judg ment. No new case of any interest occurred. Mr. TAMLYN delivered judgment with respect to eleven claims which were objected to—five by one party and six by the other—on the ground that there was a misdeser:p tion of the qualification, inasmuch as they claimed in re spect of property of which they were merely trustees, neg lecting .to state tht.t they claimed as trustees. Mr. Tamtyn said that he was of opinion that the Act did not absolutely require that, the mortgagees or trustees should describe themselves as such, in order to sup port their qualifications. These parties were in the ac tual receipt of the rents and profits, and were, in point of fact, possessed of the legal estate. He was clearly of opinion that their names ought to be retained on the list. Several cases of trustees' claims which stood over, were also decided. Mr. Tamlyn retained the names of all wha were shown to be in the actual receipt of the rents and Profits. This decision includes the gentlemen who claim d as trastces of certain freehold houses in Basinghal-street, h eh were left in trust by Lady Bacon for charitable pur poses,. and which have increased in value from 201. to 360/. annually. By the will of Lady 154,c0n the trustees were to receive a tenth portion of the rents and crofits, for the pur pose of providing themselves with a recrea:ion dinner, in consideration of their pains and trouble in maiaging the property. There are 15 trustees, but only six of them claimed in respect of their interest in this property. The names were all re' ained on the list. (Before Mr. COVENTRY.) It will be recollected that on a previous day the members of the Stock Exchange claimed to be registered in respect of their interest in that building. Mr. Coventry at the time expressed an opinion adverse to the claims, but he reserved final judgment. Yesterday Mr. Coventry said he had ma turely considered the claims of the proprietors of the Stock Exchange ; he had promised to peruse their voluminous trust deed, but the abstract furnished him was sufficiently copious to enable him to comprehend fully the nature and extent of their estates. He could not, however, come to the conclusion that they were entitled to be admitted as free holders. By a forced construction quite contrary to the spirit and meaning of the agreement, it might be technically af firmed that the proprietors were seised of an estate or free hold, but the manifest intention was to convert all the shares into personal estate, and to effect that object a lOng term of years was created, and vested in nine persons in trust for the proprietors generally, their executor;, admi nistrators, and assigns. After some further remarks the Learned Barrister said that the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange having, by a so lemn assurance under hand and seal converted their pro perty into personal estate, not merely in words but by a le gitimate mode of conversion, and having several times ex pressly declared that it was their wish and intention sv to do, it would frustrate that intention, disappoint the deed, and confuse all proper distinctions to admit them on the scroll of freeholders, when in truth they have, and only wish to have, a leasehold interest, occupying which, as owners, they had, if the building were of sufficient value to qualify them all, a right to a vote for the city. Whether they had acquired that right was immaterial ; the capacity of the building to give one vote for a borough was sufficient to dis qualify twenty leaseholders of the same building for the county. Names expunged lccordingly. In consequence of a few lists not being yet returned, the Court adjourned ;11to-morrow, when the lists for the county will be finally closed.

A few days ago Madame Menestrier, the wife of a member of the Coun c il-G enera l o f t h e O i se, res idi ng i n the neighbourhood of Aumele, an amiable and beautiful Woman, aged twenty-six, returned home after paying some visits to her friends, and, having saluted her mother with more than ordinary affection, took off her rings, and placed them with some keys upon the table, saying she would take a walk in the garden. As she remained absent for an unusual time her f am ily went out to call her in, but she was nowhere to be fotind, and the whole night passed in anxious and vain searches. At daybreak the cover of a well, which had not been used for a considerable time, was ob served to be partially opened. Suspicions arose, and were but too dreadfully verified, for at the bottom was found the lifeless body of the unfortunate lady. Happy in her home and her connections, the cause of this lamentable catastrophe remains a profound mystery. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1837.
