CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS. Presented at the Annual General Meeting, held at the Society's Office, on Thursday, March 4d, 1848. Having, at the Meeting held in January, 1847, presented to the Proprietors and Assured 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 te those now assembled to learn that, notwithstanding the increased and active competition arising from the yearly establishment •f many new Life Assurance 0121ces, the business of this Society still continues to advance. In proof of this, It will be sufficient to state the following facts : I. The number of Policies granted en the lives of Clergymen, a 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 ment of the society. 11. The Society's Income, which was 116,3821. in the year ending June 30th, 1846, amounted 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 287,0791. Being an increase, both in the number of polici(s and in the sum assured, over these 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 the kingdom, the 'claims, 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.

Shame and tis^ dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the ceases of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, Inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal ( lhalifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. L A'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a Santee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases. .e__ P ublished by th e A u th or, and may be had of Kent and Richards, . 2 e P ater noster - row; Hannay, 63, O x f or d- street; Starie, Tichborne t'r _i, Haym ar k e t ; Mansell, 115, Fleet-street ; Gordon, 146, -1-•caden hall - street, London ; or, free by post for torty-two stamps, fro m the Author, who may be consulted on these disorders personally 10 Y:tter, daily, f rom T en till Two, and from Fin till Eight at his co, al, podfmt-oluaro Loam.

A R R I A G E. 31 One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine th e f ormer, and miscalculated hope s' em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret lan comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances . to domestic ha in and social content. The dowry should net be the only m I pp s e :te tlement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuldfo a e it - in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hop e es e e m r neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other ittle publications claim your attention (same peke Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of.the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way."

G. Collins, 22, Paternoster-row, THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The quarterly return pre sents little matter for remark, but is on the whole of a cheerful character. The public is already prepared for the 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 the slain, we will proceed at once to the comparison of the quarter just ended with the corresponding quarter last year. There has been a slight decrease, to the amount of 55,023/. i❑ 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 of 198,614/. under the proper head of the Stamps. There 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 70,0001. An instalment of China money, detained last year at the Cape for the expenses of 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. CHRONICLE.—The returns for the quarter ended April 5, 1848, and for the financial year ended on the same day, were made up last Light 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 telt 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 and 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.:— 1848. - 1847. Butter ... 27,954 34,801 1846. 20.762 cwts. Cheese... 54,515 69,204 24,221 .. ... Cocoa ... 660,651 745,823 536,338 lbs. Coffee ... 6,675,789 7,393,131 6,066,564 ... Currants. 53,217 39,124 31,557 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 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 dispersed 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 increase of revenue. ADVERTISER.—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 quarter, there would have been a considerable deficit as compared with the corre sponding quarter of last year. Instead of this we have the gratifying 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/, while for the quarter ending yesterday it is 11,051,379/. 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 eff 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 of the corresponding period of 1847. Under the head of Taxes, we find an increase of 13,000/. The Post-office receipts are all but sta tionary: they are 2,0001. more than they were last ye4r. On the year there is, necessarily a large decrease, owing to the unfavourable returns of the three previous quarters. The year's revenue is 48,800,141/.; last year it was 51,018,804/. The defalcation therefore on the twelve months, LS compared with the corresponding twelve months, ending April 5, 1847, is 2,218,5114 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 cided to justify the belief that the country has fairly entered on a career of monetary and commercial pros perity, which will not receive any material check for a series of years to come. HERALD.—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 crease of 400,0001: 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 465,021/., while in the corresponding quarter of 1847 there was no simi lar sum, nor any sum whatever. Therefore, in point of fact, if we set this special receipt of 455,0211. against the apparent increase, which is only 402,5754, 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 the results. When we find 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 commercial 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 o w i ng t o th e t rans f er of some duties heretofore collected by the Stamp-office; and accordingly we perceive a considerable diminution nthyet receipts i h hE e nexscowirnsoeer kdi tiesngeg o rl fef classes. may y l a t h t e e r d e e p p p a e r s t e m d e t n e t. a h Still, ew at o e weye small however, increase— a fact - w hi c h i s very gratifying, as moderat ing,aosas r e fearse.

T h t e h e ,, operation ordiaar 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 1,831,1494; the increase in those two departments, 136,4134 So that the real ordinary revenue has suffered to the extent of almost 1,700,0001. per annum. On the whole, we cannot say that this account justifies feelings either of alarm or of exultation. It seems to show, indeed, that the springs of 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 ruin, may vet do much to damage our finances; and may lodge us at last, as our present managers appear to have done, in that most unsafe and discreditable predica ment, a revenue unequal to meet the fixed and inevitable demands upon it! Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial•ofl'ice for the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. 'DINNER TO' LORD HARDINGE. Yesterday evening the directors of the East India Company gave a dinner to the Right lion. Viscount Hardinge on his return home from the Government of 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 rhe 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, Rill) sat Viscount Hardinge, the Archbishop of C an t er b ury , t h e M arquis of Lansdowne, the D u k e of Wellington, Marquis of Anglesey, Earl of Lincoln, Earl Spencer, Mr. Wigram, Earl Delawarr, Earl of Clare, Earl Grey, Earl of Ripon, Viscount Palmerston, Lord Stanley, Mr. Masterman, Lord Ashley, Viscount Jocelyn, Viscount Goderich, Lord Elphinstone, Lord Denman, Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, Right Hon.

The following officers, who were present at the battles on the Sutlej, received invitations to the banquet, viz.:— Colonel Gowan, C. 8., Colonel Balders, 0.13., Colonel Smyth, C. 8., Colonel Spence, C. 8., Colonel Petit, C. 8., Lieut -Colonel Geddes, Lieut.-Colonel Carnegie, Colonel Irvine, C.B , Lieut.-Colonel J.

Innes, Major Bulkeley, and Major Waugh. 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 doth 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 rase, 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 P,ersians, their predecessors, in ravaging the plains of Hindoitan, and sacking the imperial city of Delhi; but lee 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. I would rather, 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, and in establishing, under our auspices, an efficient n at i ve adm i n i stra ti o n, while the army, from a conditi on of mutiny an d di so rder, w as -brought under discipli ne and military ru l e .—(G reat cheering.) All thi s h ad taken place within a few months. Was it by magic ? Did t h e N o bl e Lord wield the wand of P rospero ? No, i t was n ot th e ,effect of enchantment, it was the effect of a govern ment, wise, conciliatory, and just, that had esta blished peace, ord er , and tranquillity, an d content ment throughout the Popul a ti on . What could he say more ? The servi ces of the Noble Lord ha d me t with the high approbation o f her Majesty the Queen. He had received the thanks o f bath Muses of Parliament ; his services had been ac k nowledged by the two bodies which constituted th e E ast India Company, and he had no doubt that the pla u di ts with which he ha d b e en that night received only ec h oed the sentiments o f a gra teful country.—(Loud chee rs ,) Lord HARDINGE Wa s received with pro l on ged ap plause. When it s u b s id ed he said he begged to acknow ledged the honour which the Court of Directors had done him, and he should certainly b e the most un worthy of men if h e did not appreciate the flattering terms in which th e y h ad ackn owledged his services. At the same time he must state that, if he had been enabled in any measure to fulfil his duty, it was because he felt he had the confidence of the Court of Directors, and that confidence gave him weight and authority in all his acts for the government of that porti on o f the empire. He left 'the country with the free concurrence of Sir Robert Peel, with wh om he had acte d f or more than a quarter of a ce n t ury, and with whom h e felt it the pride and honour o f h is life to have assoc i a t e d in habits of intimacy and con fi dence.—(Cheers. ) He had the satisfaction of acti ng under the immediate i ns tructions of his old friend the Earl of Ripon, w h o was then Presi dent of the Board of Control, so that under these cir cumstances he must say that no Governor-General had ever departed for India under more favourable auspices, and since his return his services had been amply acknow ledged by his most gracious Sovereign, by the Court of Directors, and by the succeeding Governments to that under which he had the honour to act, for he had had the same confidence reposed in him by hi s Bight Hon. Friend Sir John Hobhouse, the present President of the Board of Control, and he had obtained the same appro bation from the present head of the Government, Lord John Russell, of which he was justly proud, entertaining, man under whom as he did, the highest respect for that Noble Lord.— o is f he li c is life. And he Lord.— (Cheers.) Above all, it was his g o n od ci f v o i r l tu a n n e d to militaryob tain h th e e h ap ad pro s b p a e t n i t on th o e f e th a a rl t y di p s distinguished u would say that at all times, both ted he could not fail to devote encouraged and supported, of the country.

During the two years since the war had been at an end, the army occupying L a h ore had been animated by the most excellent spirit of discipline. He might also add that the army was as generous and brave after victo r y as t h ey were valiant and brave in achieving it ; and to the ability of Sir John Littler and the discipline of the troops under his command they owed it, that they were under no fear of occupying and successfully con trolling a great city.—(Loud cheers.) Since his return, it was true, he had heard it said that there were indi viduals who still entertained fears of the tranquillity of the Punjaub being disturbed, and they asked what had become of the enthusiastic army who had engaged the British troops. His answer to that was, that he was under no apprehension of tranquillity being disturbed. Of the 100,000 Seikh soldiers and the 350 pieces of can non that were employed against our forces, 30,000 of these forces were now employed by our Government, and superintended by our officers ; and of the 350 pieces of cannon, 250 had been conveyed to Calcutta—(Cheers) where, through the kindness of the Government, they were destined to form a triumphal monument to the body who had captured them.—(Loud cheers.) The people of the country were satisfied and contented, because they had been relieved from many harassing and vexatious imposts. The chiefs of the country had received their estates from our Government, and were to continue to hold them only pending their good behaviour. These were his reasons for thinking that the tranquillity of the country would nothe disturbed. But, if he doubted whether or not tranquillity would last, still he was confident that disturbance would notcome from the Seikhs.

" Sir,—l have much satisfaction In communicating to you the re sult of my experience after repeated trials of Frampton's Pill of Health ; and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of many years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from redundant bile, &c., &c., with so little inconvenience ; I am there fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means long wanting of being able to recommend to families, schools, and espe cially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit to myself if, in giving this testimony, lam the means of making Frampton's rills more Sir, respectfully yours, generally known and appreciated.—l am, " WILLIAM SMITH."

Cashmere was surrendered to us, and the Seikhs did not hesitate to go with us to render what was our due. Therefore, if 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 troops on the frontier, with 129 pieces of cannon, who would be ready and able, at a moment's notice, to meet the whole of the Seikh troops.—(Cheers.) Therefore, whether they looked at the influence of might the b e know officers power, or th e ' j ustice of the internal Government, his frie n d C aptain Lowrance would be equally sure to maintain th e B ritish rule.

This was in a great measure owing to the success with which the question was grap 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 em pire, which was now so ably presided over by his Noble Friend Lord Dalhousie. He was confident that the East India Company 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. He would not detain the assembly any lenger with any tie _ and containing a population of 100,000 souls — he wou only conclude by flattering honour they had again acknowledging the count of their magnificent empire, containing as it did last year 12,000 miles of frontier, done him conferred' and thanking them for the ho nour the y had upon him.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed "The Church and the Archbishop of Archbishop Canterbury."—(Cheers.) The of C ANTERBUR Y returned thanks for the honour which had been conferred upon him in in viting him to the meeting, and for the distinguished manner in which they had received the toast proposed by the Chairman. He rejoiced in being allowed this opportunity of bearing his testimony to the Christian character of the distinguished nobleman whom they had met to honour. He did not merely allude to the fact which his dispatches showed, that in the hour of 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 gained.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Navy," for which Earl SPENCER returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " 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 t e tending here some years ago on the day when my liable Friend was nomiratted to be Goverdor-Ueneral of IN‘hought, and Relieve I stated: , that in the difficult circumatanc' s 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 the war then impending over the country which he was sent to govern, for I have had the honour to 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, enable Fw ras Friend, nd h h it i s m h oh to uagn carrythough s ,he lea iw o d n a as s Gi his e oe vOperatihisons n eo w rf a i t IG h , still wanted the assistanc e o f a second in command, to k vantages which an a rm y oug h t to have. My Noble the whole civil and m ilit ary government of the country Governor-Ge neral, n t o thh r e - o Guagedh 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 ef 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 110BHOUSE shortly replied, and proposed " The health of the Chairman." The CHAIRMAN leplied:and 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. I do 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 his 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 Subraon— it was my fortunate lot to describe his conduct on that eventful• night which intervened between the commencement and the close of the battle of Ferozeshah, I ha d to describ e him as walking on that night from watch to watch, and from tent to tent— " And forth be goes and visits all the posts, Bids them good morrow with a cheerful smile, And calls them brothers, friends, and countrymen." —(Loud cheers.) They felt the touch of Harry on that 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 t•tehind him a milder, bolder, and more amiable influence —a, convic tion of the justice of the British u ule, and that under no form of GovernMent could the rights and liberties and welfare of India be betfer secured than by the rule of Great Britain.—(Obeers.) I own that, considerin g _ the ardent attachment which I entertain for my. Noble Friend, and the long, unrestrained. unahat, d, and uninter mitting cordiality with which I have acted wi h him, 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 appia.u. , _6, 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 HARDINGE 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. MACAULAY 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 men 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 always 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 gone through his trials—trials as severe as a statesman and a soldier can be subjected to, and he has not been found wanting.—(Cheers.) I do not know that I can add anything to the testimony which has been borne to his 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 b ythecoun v tr n y ine w . ._ { hich Lo h u a d s weleomed him back with one ploits Isaicdanansdayb unanimous But this cheers.)

My chief reason con vinced our Government na that lam deeply me right to to n ia a blessing to the the English human race, and an honour speaktw on this suttject, name.— (Cheers.) I have so because I have been connected in that great country. I have been a mee o ibe c r a se ri c t i h t e ie ß s Board for the office of Control, I have also been acunraveainJ,ofhthe Company, and all I have seen in both satisfied me that no Government could exist, und c e s r the s circumstances, purer—that no Government on the whole could more extend the blessings of civilization, or pro mote the happiness of the people under its rule. As to the particular service which the Chairman has coupled with my name, I know something of it. 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 wanting; 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 achiavemertts, which add to the national pride while they have done such gsod 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 copcerned; and in that view I firmly end 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. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the ll.use of Cornmon,) WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5.

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 of which, with little exception, have fallen a prey to the flames. On the earliest information of the out break;numerous engines'of 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. f The engines having been conveyed along the banks of the canal, they were set to work, and although several tons tons of water were momentarily discharged over at t bef fi ore it continued to progress most fearfully, so e of half -past i t i w n flames, but ckAnreuarralyoutrhewawah;lerroeifnetthttehhamtanaufac the night watchmen had perished in t o r u t in c th works from inquiries made of the police, there to suppose that every person employed dmage donees very had effected a safe retreat.

C.. steamer Medway arrived yesterday morning from Chagres, bringing the new 6 of the capture of the Upper and Lower Forts on the Oregon River, by the boats of 11. 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 lcss in the boats was trifling; one man killed, and a midshipman wounded. The wounded and prisoners were sent on boSid the Alarm—some of the former had died.—Jamaica Timea, 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 mistinderstarOing 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 7th of February. They had previously taken and de stroyed a small fort about half a mile up th & river with out any resistance. The lower fo r t s , howeWr, 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 on 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:— Her Majesty's steamer Vixen—Mr. Turner, midship man, badly wounded. Killed—Charles Fowell, captain of the foretop. Wounded —William Coombs, bo severe] •P. Nagle, seaman, ditto ; James Hooper, y' Wright, marine, lost three fingers..seaman, dttto; and W. Her Majesty's ship Alarm—One seaman killed.

The action lasted forty minutes, and resulted in the capture of fort Serapique, with a loss to the enemy of 0 killed and wounded and 10 prisoners. 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.4Juan. It appears that he was in one of the Loats d the squadron, and while asleep the boat was suddenly surprised, as they supposed, by canoes; and while the seamen were procuring their arms from the chest in the stern of the beat, 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 limes, March 6. NEW COLONIAL CURRENCY.—The following is ex tracted from a private letter from Barbadoes : " There is no money here, and the labourers are working for a bitt a day, payable in sweet potatoes, which may be considered as the silver currency of the island; yams, being a more valuable commodity, may be termed the gold currency!" We regret to announce the death of Lieutenant- Colonel Capadose, Ist West India Regiment, which melancholy event took place at Up Park Camp on Monday evening. Colonel Capadobe hail only lately assumed the general command as senior officer, on the death of Major-General Lambert, and was very gene rally respected. The deceased had been suff,,ring for some days from dysentery. The command now devolves on Lieutenant-Colonel Sir John Campbell, Bart., com manding the 38th Regiment at Newcastle. Her Majesty's ship Vindictive, having on board Sir F. W. Austin, K.C.8., arrivee. at Port Royal, last Grenada, yesterday.—Jamaica Times, March 2. TUNG STON MARKETS.
