Having, at the Meeting held in January, 1847, presented to the Proprietors and ♦ssured a very full account of the Society's affairs, 'your Directors have but little to communicate on the present oc casion. It may, however, be satisfactory t• those now assembled to learn •that, notwithstanding the increased and active competition arising from the yearly establishment •f many new Life Assurance Oakes, th• business of this Society still continues to advance. In proof of this, it will be sufficient to state the following facts : I. The irumber of Policies granted ea the lives of Clergymen, • class of persons generally distinguished for longevity, has been . greater during the year ending June 30th last (the period compre hended in this report) than in any one year since the commence went of the Society. 11. The Society's Income, which was 116,382/. in the year ending June 30th, 1846, a tionnted to 122,9061. in the year ending June 30th, 1847. • 111. The number of NEW POLICIES issued within the year has been 513, and the amount assured thereby 287,079/. Being an • increttite, both in the number of policit s and in the sum assured, over those of any preceding year. In conclusion, the Directors are happy to inform the Proprietors that the Society has net in any degree suffered from the great mor • tality which has prevailed of late throughout th• kingdom, the , elaims, both in the course of the year ending June 30, 1847, and also Within the six months ending with December last, not having equalled either in number or amount those of preceding years.

TIMES.—The quarterly return of the revenue pre• tents little matter for remark, but is on the whole of a cheerful character. The public is already prepared for rho unfavourable result of the comparison between the last and the previous year; the fact of a decrease on the ordinary revenue to the amount of near two millions having figured prominently in the debates of the session. Resigning the year just ended, therefore, to those who will probably take this opportunity of thrice killing thy• slain, we will proceed at once to the comparison of the quarter just ended with the corresponding quarter last )evr. There has been a slight decrease, to the amount of 55,0231. in Customs. The state of the Continent, and the consequent stagnation of trade at home, are quite sufficient to have accounted for a much more considerable fulling off. In the Excise there has been an increase to the amount of 349,7361., partly owing to the prejudicial effect of the high prices of corn on the consumption of fermented and spirituous liquors in the first three months of last year; and partly, also, it appears to an alteration in the form of the accounts, a portion of the Stamps being collected by the officers of the Excise. Hence a de crease or 198,6141. under the proper head of the Stamps. Where has been a slight increase on the assessed taxes of the quarter. The other differences are but trifling. Upon the ordinary revenues there is thus an increase on the quarter of about 70,000/. An instalment of China money, detained last year at the Cape for the expenses o f the Kafir war, has been lately released by a Parlia mentary grant for that specific purpose, and enters the account, imparting an illusory appearance of prosperity to the quarter. We have, however, only to congratulate ourselves that things are not worse than they might have been. It is something that the present year begins rather better than the last. _ _ CHIZONICLE.—The returns for the quarter ended April 5, 1848, and fur the financial year - ended on the same day, were made up last night at the Treasury, and are published in another portion of our paper, so far as Great Britain is concerned :—those for Ireland will be received in a few days, and in the course of next week the annual balance sheet will be presented to Parlia ment, and printed for general use. It is consolatory to know, in the meanwhile, that the statement is much more favourable than even the anticipations of Sir C. Wood, or than might have been expected under all the cir cumstances of the case; and we are entitled to draw from it some very favourable inferences with respect to the im mediate future. The comparison with the quarter ending 5 April, 1847, is most trying for the quarter just now closed: the full effect of the artificial and temporary prosperity occasioned by the undue extension of railway works, was reit in 1847, and the consequences of the Irish famine and of the Irish expenditure had not yet begun to tell. The comparison, therefore, which 1848 bears with 1847 is matter for surprise, as well as for congratulation, though, in order to a full understanding of the case, it is necessary also to review the corresponding quarter of the year 1846, which our readers will remember, was a very favourable year of revenue; the surplus shown by Mr. Goulburn on the sth April, 1846, amounting (exclu sive of China money) to more than one million arid a half. In the first two months of the present year, i. e., the two months ending sth March, the following articles have been charged with duty for home consumption, as compared with the two preceding years, viz.:— Butter ... 1848. 27,954 1847. 34.801 Cheese... Cocoa ... 54,515 660,651 1846. 20.762 cwts. 69,204 24,221 ... 745,823 536,338 lbs. Coffee ... 6,675.789 7,393,131 6,066,564 ... Currants. 53,217 39,124 31,537 cwts. Raisins... 25,677 23,108 16,017 ... Pepper 609,986 651,158 532,637 lbs. Rum 532,621 406 892 424,217 gallons. Brandy Sugar Tea Wine ... 1,007,962 1,052,518 1,038,474 gallons. in nearly every instance an increase upon 1846, and in some even in 1847. These are the articles which prin cipally enter into the consumption of the people, and may be therefore considered indicative of their power of contributing to the indirect taxation of the country. It is impossible that any brisk revival of trade should be experienced until the storm which has so recently broken upon our continental neighbours shall have been suffi ciently diipersed to give ground for commercial opera tions. But it is consolatory to perceive, that even in the midst of the greatest gloom and depression there is an irrepressible tendency towards increase of consumption and illeroStgf , of revenue_ ADVERTI SER.—A tabular view of the Revenue re- turns for the year and quarter ending yesterday, the sth of April, will be found in another part of our paper. We congratulate the country on the results which they exhibit. They will occasion an agreeable surprise. They are much more favourable than any one antici pated, and much more so than there seemed any ground to expect. It was generally feared, that owing to the deep and almost universal depression in trade which has prevailed during the entire quer er, there would have been a consi,terable deficit as compared with the corre sponding quarter ot last year. Instead of this we have the gratitying duty of announcing that there is an in crease to the extent of no less than 402,5751., the total amount for the quarter ending the sth April, 1847, de rived from ordinary sources, having only been 10,648,804 L, while for the quarter ending yesterday it is 11,051,3791. And to add to the gratification which this fact is calculated to afford, the increase mainly arises from the receipts under the head of Excise, which, as our readers are aware, is regarded as the surest cri terion of the comforts, or otherwise, enjoyed by the great mass of the community. The augmentation in the Excise department is not less than 349,736/. The Cus toms also make a better appearance than we expected; for though there is a decrease, it is only to the extent of 55,0231. The only other head of importance in which there is a defalcation is the Stamps, in which the falling off in the quarter is 198,614/. This is satisfactorily ac counted for by the reduced amount of transfers of railway and other joint-stock company shares. The Property tax does not diminish in prouductiveness. There is, on the contrary, an increase of 8,5681. on the quarter's re turn, as compared with that ot the corresponding period 1847. Under the head of Taxes, we find an increase of 13 0001. The Post-office receipts are all but sta tionary: they are 2,0001. more than they were last year. On the year there is, necessarily a large decrease, owing to the unfavourable returns of the three previous quarters. The year's revenue is 48,800,1411.; last year it was 51,018,8041. The defalcation therefore on the twelve months, as compared with the corresponding twelve months, ending April 5, 1847, is 2,218,511/. But from the auspicious commencement which we have made in 1848, we trust that at its close we shall have to tell a very different tale. If we may not hope, with all the political commotions which are taking place on the con• tinent, to see a large augmentation in the returns of 1848, as compared with those of 1847, we still do hope that there will be an increase —one, too, sufficiently de• tided to justify the belief that the country has fairly entered on a career of monetary and commercial pros perity, which will not receive acy material check for a series off - years to come. lIERALD.—The Government journals have very in judiciously spread hopeful reports of the state of the revenue for the quarter just ended, promising us an in (Tease of 400,000/: The fact turns out to be so. But they had not learnt, or had forgotton to add, that there had been a special sum received from China in the course of the last quarter, amounting to 465,0211., while in the corresponding quarter'of 1847 there was no simi lar sum, nor any sum whatever. Therefore, in point of tact, if we set this special receipt of 455,0211. against the apparant increase, which is only 402,5751., we discover that the actual result of the quarter is, a decline of about 53,000/. This is so small as to be of no importance. We detect, however, in the increase shown under the heads of " Taxes," and "Property-tax," the fruits of an unusual activity, of which we had heard re ports for some time past, on the part of the collectors. Under some new orders from the Trea sury, these officers have been, for some weeks, making more than ordinary exertions; and we now see some of ' he results. When we .fied an increase in the receipts from the Property-tax, we know that there must be something more than meets the eye. Taken fairly, and collected in the usual manner, it would be quite impos sible that this tax should show an increase, after all the Comm. rcial calamities of the last six months. The only other circumstance requiring notice, is the apparently large increase under the head of the Excise. This, we are informed, is in a great measure owing to the transfer of some duties heretofore collected by the Stamp-office; and accordingly we perceive a considerable diminution in the receipts of the latter department. Still, however, the Excise itself may be supposed to show some small Increase—a fact which is very gratifying, as moderat ing, in seine degree, oar fears as to the sufferings enduring by the working classes. The account for the year shows more fully than that for the quarter the operation of the blunderings of the last two years. The "Ordinary Revenue" shows a reduction or falling off in every item, except, indeed, the Post-office and the " Taxes," which latter increase is accounted for by the special exertions above alluded to. The decrease on the various items of -' Ordinary Revenue" is 1,831,1491.; the increase in hose two departments, 136,4131. So that the real , rdinary revenue h as suffered to the extent of almost 1,700,000/. per annum. On the whole, we cannot say • hat this account justifies feelings either of alarm or of oxultation. It seems to show, indeed, that the springs the national prosperity lie too deep to be easily affected by a new tariff or an Act of Parliament. But it appears, also, that those who cannot very speedily uin, may yet do much to damage cur finances; and ,nay lodge us at last, as our present managers appear to have done, in that most unsafe and discreditable predica• dent, a revenue unequal to meet the fixed and inevitable lemands upon it!

Yesterday evening the directors of the East Indic Company gave a dinner to the Right Hon. Viscount Hardinge on his return home from the Government o t India. The large room of the London Tavern was filled on the occasion by gentlemen of every rank and of all distinctions in politics, to testify their admiration of the civil and military qualities of the Noble Lord. The room was decorated with a gorgeous display of gold and silver plate, among which a centre•piece of solid silver, of a most spirited design, representing prince Maurice of Orange leading on his forces at the battle of Nieu port, was especially admired. The whole appearance of he room, as well as the recherche nature of the viands, did ample credit to the well known reputation of Messrs. Bathe and Breache, the spirited proprietors of the tavern. On the right of the Chairman (Henry St. George Tucker, Esq.) sat Viscount Hardinge, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Marquis of Lansdowne' the Duke of Wellington, Marquis of Angl ese y, Earl of Lincoln, Earl Spencer, Mr. Wigrarn, Earl Delawarr, Earl of Clare, Earl Grey, Earl of Ripon, Viscount Palmerston, Lord Stanley, Mr Mastorman, Lord Ashley, Viscount Jocelyn, Viscount Goderich, Lord Elphi ns tone, Lord Denm an, Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Gr a ham, Ri g ht lion. 11.

The gallery was graced by the presence of a party of ladies, among whom we noticed Viscountess Hardinge and the Hon. Miss Hardinge, the Marchioness of Douro the Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementine Villiers, the Countess Delawarr, Viscountess Jocelyn, Lady Peel, Lady Vernon, Lady Weir Hogg, Lady James, Lady Charles Hardinge, Lady Willock, Mrs. Tucker, Mrs. Wigram, &c. The cloth having been removed, The CHAIRMAN proposed, in succession, the health of "The Queen," "The Queea Dowager," "Prince Albert, and the other members of the Royal Family." The CHAIRMAN then rose, and said they had met on that auspicious occasion to welcome back to his native country the Noble Lord on his right hand.— (Loud cheers.) The Court of Directors had been anxious on this occasion to assemble around him the elite of the land, without reference to party poli tics.—(Cheers.) The Court of Directors were always ready to appreciate talent and public virtue wherever it was found, and therefore they were prepared cordially to greet the Noble Lord who now appeared among them. The early career of Lord Hardinge was well known to them all. He had served under an illustrious commander in an admirable school for extending the glories and the triumphs of his country. But it was to his subsequent not less glorious career that he wished especially to call their attention. And here let him state that the war in which they had lately been engaged in India was not a war of aggression. It had sometimes been said that this country was animated by the spirit of conquest and do mination, but no one could doubt that this was a war purely of self defence. We had a ferocious enemy, anxious to plunder and destroy, and vainly imagining that they might imitate the example of the Persians, their predecessors, in ravaging the plains of Hindostan, and sacking the imperial city of Delhi; but he was happy to say they were met by the indomitable courage of British soldiers, with an army led on by able and gal lant officers, and where the men, both Sepoys and Euro peans, emulated each other in the paths of glory. The • audacious attempts of the enemy were repulsed, they were ; defeated—were struck down—were driven in terror and :confusion across the blood-stained Sutlej, to take refuge in their own country. But it is not my part to dilate upon questions of war and victory. 1 woura ratner, as a civilian, be disposed to 'congratulate this illustrious company upon the establishment of peace. , Our army, proceeding with order and regularity through an enemy's country, finally arrived at Lahore, where they met with no resistance, in that territory, where prince after prince and chief after chief had previously fallen under the dagger of the assassin. The Noble Lord, in an incre dibly short space of time, succeeded in maintaining the most profound peace, an d i n esta blishing, under our auspices, an efficient nat i ve a d m i n i s t r ation, while the army, from a conditi on o f mut i ny a nd disorder, was brought under dis c ipli ne and m ili tar y rule.—(Gre a t cheering.) All thi s h ad taken p l ace within a few months. Was it by magic ? Did the Noble Lord wield the wand of P rospero ? N o , it was not th e effect of enchantm ent, i t was the e ff ec t of a govern ment, wise, conciliatory, and just, that had esta blished peace, order, and tranquillity, and content ment throughout the population. What could he say more ? The services of the Noble Lord had met with the high approbation of her Majesty the Queen. He had received the thanks of bath Houses of Parliament ; his set vices had been acknowledged by the two bodies which constituted t h e East India Company, and he had no doubt that the plaudits with -which he had been that night received only echoed the sentiments of a grateful country.—(Loud cheers.) Lord HARDINGE was received with prolonged ap plause. When it subsided he said he begged to acknow ledged the honour which the Court of Directors had worthy of men if he did no t a ec i a te the flattering ppr done him, and h e s h ould certainly b e t h e most un terms in which th e y h ad ackn owledged his services. At the same time h e must state that, if h e had been enabled in a n y measure to ful fil his duty, it was because he felt he had the c onfidence of the Court of Directors, and that confidence gave him ' weight and authority iu all his acts for the government of that portion of the e mpire. He l eft the country with the free ct incurrence of Sir Robert Peel, with whom he had acted for more than satisfaction of actin a quarter of a century, and with whom he felt it the pride and honour of his life to have associated in habits 4 intimacy and confidence.—(Cheers.)

(Cheers.) ' Above all, it was his good fortune to obtain the approbation of that distinguished man under whom he had spent the early part of his life. And he would say that at all times, both in civil and military affairs, his approbation was most cheering to him.

Cashmere was surrendered to us, and the Seikhs did not hesitate to go with us to render what was Our due. Therefore, it tranquillity was disturbed he was confident that the Seikh troops might be relied upon to preserve the peace. And if they did not, we had 50,000 troop s ou the frontier, with 129 pieces of cannon, wbo would be ready and able, at a moment's notice, to meet the whole of the Seikh troops.—(Cheers.)

This was in a great measure owing to the success with which the question was strap pled with twenty years ago by the late Lord William Bentinck, and it afforded him the assurance that the East India Company rested the basis of its power, not upon its strength alone, nor upon its army, but upon the nobler objects of advancing the work of humanity and civilisation.—(Cheers.) To the latest hour of his life he should feel deeply interested in the welfare of the ens pire, which was now so ably presided over by his Noble Friend Lord Dalhousie. He was confident that the Bast India Compile) , were desirous of setting an example of a just and beneficent rule, and that their subjects would appreciate their exer tions, and would resist every attraction that was held out to them to withdraw from their rule. H e would not detain the assembly any longer with any ac count of their magnificent empire, containing d as it did last year 12,000 miles of frontier, and containing a population flattering honour they had again acknowledging the and thanking them for the honour they had done him, conferred upon him.—(Cheers.)

He did not merely allude to the fact seme da,int friend a which his dispatches showed, that in the hour of character of the distinguished nobleman whom they had trial he knew where renown was to be obtained, and that in the hour of victory he had ascribed the success to the God of battles, for it was no new thing, he was glad to say, that the same pious feeling should be shown in the records of our victories, both by sea and land ; but he alluded to the circumstances that the Noble Viscount had shown what was the true object of war when conducted by a Christian nation—the security of the empire and the advancement of civilisation, and that, these objects being gained, he preferred the solid honour of an empire saved to the uncertain honour of an empire gai ned.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Navy," for which Earl SPENCER returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then proppsed " The Duke of Wel lington and the Army." The Duke of WELLINGTON rose amidst loud cheers. He said—l beg leave to return thanks for the honour you have done me in drinking my health, and for coupling the army with my name. I beg to return thanks on behalf of the army. and I hope you will do us the justice to believe that we feel the strongest interest in the honour of Lord Hardinge. We are proud that a man who has performed such services as to deserve the panegyrics which have been pronounced upon him this evening, was educated in our ranks.—(Cheers.) When I had the honour of attending here some years ago on the day when my Noble Friend was nominated to be Governor-General of India, I thought, and I believe I stated, that in the difficult circumstances which then surrounded ,India a more desirable choice could not be made than my Noble Friend. The result has more than fulfilled the expecta- tion I had formed.—(Cheers.) I have been connected with my Foble Friend in the service of the country for many years. I was fully sensible of his ability, his zeal, his talents, his patience, his fortitude. I was not unac quainted with the difficulties of the station he was about to fill—l was aware that there were great difficulties in :bn swat- then impending over the country which he was sent to govern, for I - nave rum ',tit, it..--- ..s serve in the East Indies myself.—(Cheers.) I had gone to that country after I had some little experience in warlike operations, and had, therefore, some means of acquiring a knowledge of the difficulties attending all operations of war in that country. But I had great confidence that my Noble Friend would overcome them all.—(Cheers.) And he has overcome them all. —(Continued cheering.) He had difficulties to contend with—aggravated difficulties—in consequence of the policy which he considered it his duty—a well-under stood and well considered duty—to adopt and to perse vere. in. It was his policy and his duty to stand upon the defensive till the last moment ; he persevered in doing so, and he, therefore, felt all the disadvantages which that policy entailed in impeding his military ope rations, and for which he. as Governor-General in Council, had to make provision. These were the ag gravated difficulties over which my Noble Friend got the better, and he brought into the field an army capable not only of engaging in the contest, but of bringing the war to a speedy and successful termination.—(Cheers.) Yet I do not think I ought to limit my observations to this part of the conduct of my Noble Friend. When my Noble Friend, in his situation of Governor General, left Bengal, and went up the country to superintend the operations of the army, as it was his duty to do, and to promote its efficacy by every means in his power, he found the Noble Lord at the head of the army, however able, however talented, however experienced, still wanted the assistance of a second in command, to enable him to carry on his operations with all the ad vantages which an army ought to have. My Noble Friend, though he was Governor-General, and though the whole civil and military government of the country was in his hands, laid aside his rank of Governor-Ge neral, and volunteered to serve in the rank of Lieu tenant-General of the army.—(Loud cheers.) 1 believe my Noble Friend is a singular instance a such conduct; but I hope we shall never want officers ready to follow his example, and set aside their rank, if the same cir cumstances should ever again occur. I could not avoid mentioning this circumstance on the present occasion, which does my Noble Friend so much honour, in ad dition to those which the Chairman has mentioned, because it happened to come more immediately in my province to notice this conduct on the part of my Noble Friend. I say, then, the army may well be proud that such a man was educated in their ranks, and there is no part of my Noble Friend's conduct throughout his service—of the whole of which I highly approve—there is no part of it which is more highly to his honour than that when he laid aside his rank and served in the army, when circumstances rendered it necessary.— (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Marquis of Lansdowne and her Majesty's Ministers." The Marquis of LANSDOWNE shortly returned thanks, apologising for the absence of Lord John Russell. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The President of the Board of Control." Sir JOHN HODHOUSE shortly replied, and proposed " The health of the Chairman." The CHAIRMAN replied,_aud then proposed " The health of Sir Robert Peel." - Sir ROBERT PEEL—I return you my cordial thanks for the compliment which you have been pleased to pay me—a compliment which I had no right to expect, seeing that I occupy only a private station, and have not the honour to stand in any official relation either to the Crown or to the East India Company. I will not misap prehend the motives on which a compliment so peculiar has been paid me. Ido not forget that four years since, with the full approbation of all my colleagues then in the Government—with the consent of my Noble Friend particularly, who was then President of the Board of Control, and'of the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the East India Company, I made an arrangement which se cured to India the inestimable advantage of the services of my Noble Friend. We could give no deeper proof of the interest we took in the welfare of India than to con sent to forego the services of my Noble Friend at home. —(Loud cheers.) We felt warmly attached to him as a personal friend—we knew the valuable services which he had rendered, and which he could render, at home, in the service of his country. But we felt deeply convinced that a wider sphere was due to my Noble Friend to enable him to develop his faculties, so that they should redound more to his own honour and to the advantages of his country than he had yet enjoyed. It was not for the retrospective glories of his military career, nor yet for the high estimation in which we held hii military character, that we consented to part with his services at home, but because we believed that he pos sessed qualities which were suited to the circumstances of India more than any other man that could have been selected at that time, whether with reference to the mil lions he was called on to govern, to the importance of the functions he was to discharge, or to the absence, or, at least, the remoteness of all control. At the same time, I do not undervalue the military qualities of my Noble Friend. It was my gratifying duty to propose the thanks of the House of Commons to him for the glorious services he rendered; it was my fortunate lot to describe his conduct at the battle of Sobraon—it was my fortunate lot to describe his condu ct on that eventful,nd night which intervened between the commencement the close of the battle of Ferozesha h, I had to describe, him as walking on that night from watch to watch, and from tent to tent— " And forth he goes and visits all the posts, Bids them good morrow with a c heer d fu c l ou sm nt i And calls them brothers, friends, an _ r le imen." —(Loud cheers.) They felt the touch of H arry On that [PRICE SD. night.—(Continued cheers.) But it was not his mili tary qualities which induced our selection. We knew that he was calculated to leave the impression of his mind on India, not merely in convincing them of the su perior power of his country, but in leaving behind him a milder, bolder, and more amiable influence—a convic tion of the justice of the British rule, and that under no form of Government could the rights and liberties and welfare of India be better secured than by the rule of Great Britain.—(Cheers.) I own that, considering the ardent attachment which I entertain for my Noble Friend, and the long, unrestrained. unaban d, and uninter witting cordiality with which I have acted w i h Mtn, it is most gratifying to me to see him return from India, and not only bearing away with him the affections, the respect, the regret of India, but in his being welcomed home by the confidence, the applause, and the admi ration of the country which gave him birth.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Earl of Dal housie and the Government of India." Lord HAnuINGE proposed " The health of Lord Gough, and the Army in India." The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The health of the Civil Service," and coupled with the toast the name of Mr. Macaulay. Mr. Macatmair said—l am sincerely grateful for the honour you have done me, though I fear I have scarcely any claim to my name being associated with that service with which you, Sir, have thought fit to connect me. I have several times partaken of the splendid hospitality of the East India Company, but never under circumstances so gratifying to my own feelings. On other occasions I have been your guest when we have been sending out wee whose success was yet matter of question, to govern dis tant and important colonies. We have sent them out with our best wishes—often with high expectations — but ala ays with some degree of doubt. But on this occasion we have met with unmixed satisfaction, for at this meeting our Noble Friend has come among us, having done his work, and. done it well. He has go ne through his trials—trials as severe as a statesman and a (C tb h e ee s.) I testimony do whichnot knowbas beentha that soldier can be subjected to, and he has not been found wanting.—(Cheers.) olcauto add anything tohis merits by the first of living Generals, by the great Com pany which he has served, by his Sovereign, by the House of Commons, by the House of Lords, by the gallant army which he led to victory, by the great pro vince which he protected from barbarian rapacity, and by the country which has welcomed him back with one unanimous voice. —(Loud cheers.) Of his military ex• pl oits I can say nothing which has not already been better r said and by other sources of much higher autho t y. But this I will say of his military exploits, that their splendour would leave conveyed to m e little satisfaction, if I believed that all this valour and skill were employed , to u ph o ld a G overnmen t p er nicious to tneinterest s of for rejoici ng in these mankind.—(Cheers.) My chief reason victories is, that I am deeply con vinced our Government human race, and a n in I n di a i s a bl ess ing to the (Cheers.)

I have had op portunities of observing it, and I will say that I do not think there is any portion of the public service in this country which I contemplate with more unmixed delight. I institute no comparison between the civil and military service—both I believe to be excellent, and on their ge nerous emulation depends the security of our Indian empire, and the happiness of her people. But there is no class of men containing a greater amount of ability, of information, of rectitude, tried under strong tempta tions and never found wantine; and I believe that if these services continue to discharge their functions as they have done hitherto, the empire will be impregnable from all attacks. After the experience we have had of these splendid achievements, which add to the national pride while they have done such good service to our Indian empire, I hope none of us would be disposed to hail our :political friends sent to India more cordially than we should our political opponents. lam sure that we are all knit in the firmest and closest union ou all points where the national honour—the greatness and prosperity of England—is concerned; and in that view I firmly and proudly believe that, amidst the commotions which everywhere surround us—amidst the crash of fo reign thrones—the constitution of England will remain immoveable on its basis.—(Loud cheers.) After one or two other general toasts, the meeting se parated. PARLIAMEN TARY DIVISIONS. From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5. OUTGOING TENANTS (IREL kND) BILL.

Shortly after one o'clock this morning, a fire, attended with a serious de struction of property, and which for the space of an hour lighted up the whole of the metropolis and suburban districts, broke out in an immense pile of premises be longing to Mr. Law, a feather manufacturer, situate on the banks of the Royal Surrey Canal, near the Kent road-bridge. The premises in question occupied a con siderable space of ground, and at the time of the calamity were well stored with goods of a costly character, the whole e•f which, with little exception, have fallen a prey to the flames. On the earliest information of the out break, numerous enginesof the London Brigade and West of England Company started to the scene, when the fire men found the entire range of premises in one great sheet of flame, the heat from which was so great that the adjoining whiting factory and other buildings were actually smoking and in several places were on fire. The engines having been conveyed along the banks of the canal, they were set to work, and although several tons of water were momentarily discharged over the fire it continued to progress most fearfully, so that before f half-past two o'clock nearly the whole of the manufac tory tory waslin ruins. A rumour was current that one s n f the night watchmen had perished in the fla d me , b t g works to suppose that every person employed very done is had effected a safe retreat.

C. steamer Medway arrived yesterday morning from Chagres, bringing the news of the capture of the Upper and Lower Forts on the Oregon River, by the boats of H. M. ship Alarm, Captain Loch, the steamer Vixen, and brig Daring, and a detachment of the 38th Regiment; the whole in the command of Captain Loch, with Commanders Rider and Peel in command of their own boats. The lower forts showed much resistance, but the loss in the boats was trifling; one man killed, and a midshipman wounded. The wounded and prisoners were sent on board the Alarm—some of the former had died.—Jamaica Times, March 6. The following are some details of this affair:— Her Majesty's ships Daring and Alarm, and the Vixen (steamer) were at St. Juan's, Nicaragua, with a view of settling some misunderstanding or dispute between the New Grenadian Government and the King of the Mosquitos, whose cause England had espoused. The ships, in addition to their crews, had a detach. ment of the 38th Regiment, the whole under the com mand of Captain Loch, of her Majesty's ship Alarm, with Commanders Peel and Rider in command of their own ships' boats. The expedition left St. Juan's on the th of February. They had previously taken and de stroyed a small fort about half a mile up the river with out any resistance. The lower forts, however, of Sara pique, about twenty-five miles up the river, offered some resistance, but the loss was trifling, one man killed and a midshipman wounded; while the loss on shore amounted to six or eight. An officer and a few men were left in charge while a party proceeded up the river toward another fort situated near the Lake Nicaragua. On the 26th of February dispatches were received at St. Juan's. The Fort or Castillo del San Carlos had been taken without any resistance, the New Grenadian soldiers having fled o❑ the approach of the boats. Captain Loch had sent an officer to the city of Gre nada to make terms with the Government. The subjoined are particulars of the killed and wounded in this assault and capture:— ller Majesty's steamer Vixen—Mr. Turner, midship man, badly wounded. Killed—Charles Powell, captain of the foretop. Wounded —William Coombs, boy, severely; P. Nagle, seaman, ditto ; James Hooper, seaman, dttto; and W. Wright, marine, lost three fingers. Her Majesty's ship Alarm—One seaman killed. Two soldiers of her Majesty's 38th Infantry wounded. his Mr. The pocket, I e w Vixend which h e y hi a , hd o pf her the oe br a starboard x saved a n , e h d a hdpi paddle s i s d f ee : watch broken in damaged—re ceived two round shot through her,.and fourteen musket balls.

We regret to add that Patrick Walker, Esq., her Bri tannic Majesty's Consul General to the King of Mus quito, was unfortunately drowned in proceeding up the river St. Juan. It appears that he was in one of the boats of the squadron, and while asleep the boat was suddenly surprised, as they supposed, by canoes; and while the seamen were procurin g th e i r arms from the chest in the stern of the boat, Mr. Walker and another gentleman unfortunately fell overboard; the latter was picked up, but Mr. Walker could not be found. Thus has the service lost a useful officer, and society at large a valuable member.—Jamaica Times, March 6.
