CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. REPORT F THE DIRE P resented at the Annual General Meeting, C heId TORS. at the Society's Office, on Thursday, March 2d, 1848. Baying, 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 to these now assembled to learn that. notwithstanding the increased and active competition arising from the yearly establishment of many new Life Assurance Offices, 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 on 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, ameemted to 122 , 9061 . i n t h e year ending June 3 0th, 1847. 111. The number of NEW POLICIES issued within the year has been 513, and th e amount assured thereby 287,0791. Being an increase, both in the number of policies and In the sum assured, over those of ally preceding year. In conclusion, the Directors are happy to info rm th e P ropr i etors t hat the Society has net in any degree suffered frem the great mor tality which has prevailed of late throughout the kingdom, the ms, both in the course of the year ending June 30, 1847, and also Within the six months ending with December last, not having tlaalled either In number or amount those of preceding years.

I n One half the wend are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine th e f ormer, and miscalculated hopes' em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret en compromise hurry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, ar e th e great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. Th e d owry should net be the only marriage iage s set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; St alone dignifi es th e alliance. Blighted hopeser neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). 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 cariosity, but tor 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 'ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 63.) 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 Vac maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—tc live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Nalson, 457, West Strand; or direct (by post or other wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally, comings and evenings), 10, Argyll-place Regent-street; and all Booksellers. .4•L':- ..-----(---------- ,- 6- __----' • -t - • ' • - . _ . .. . . . ,- - -- - • --••••.::._ , . • 14 -- .....0.•• -- , .

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 the 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.

The cloth having been removed, The CHAIRMAN proposed, in succession, the healths of " The Queen," " Th e Q ueen Dowage r ," "P r i nce Alb ert, and the other memb ers o f the Royal amily." 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 soldie rs , w i t h an army l e d on by able and ga 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 Lorcl, in an incre dibly short space of time, succeeded in maintaining the most profound peace, and i n esta bli s hi ng , under our auspices, an efficient nat i ve administration, w hil e the army, from a conditi on of mutiny and disorder, was brought under di sc i p li ne and military rule.—(Great cheering.) All thi s h ad taken place within a few months. Was it by magic ? Did the Noble Lord wield the wand of Prospero ? No, it was not the effect of enchantment, it was the effect of a govern ment, wise, con c ili atory, and just, that had esta blished peace, order, and tranquillity, and content ment throughout th e Population. What could he say more ? The servi ces of the Noble Lord had met with the high approbation of her Majesty the Queen. He bad received the thanks of bath Houses of Parliament ; his services had been acknowledged by the two bodies which constituted the 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 done him, and he should certainly be the most un worthy of men if he did not appreciate the flattering terms in which th ey h ad ackn owledged his services. At the same time he must state that, if he had been of a ad Director s , aat hor it y a i n a d a l l that his actsonenabled in any measure to fulfil his duty, it gavethe hCimour weightt was because h e felt he had the confidence of government o f t h at portion of the empire. He left the country w i t h the free concurrence of S i r Robert Peel, with whom he had acted for more than a quarter of a century, and with whom he felt it the pride and honour o f hi s life to have associated in ha bi ts c f fi o d r en th c e e of intimacy and co nfidence.—(Cheers.) He had the satisfaction of acting under the immediate instructions of his old friend the Earl of Ripon, who 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 his Right 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, as he did, the highest respect for that Noble Lord.— (Cheers.) Above all, it was his good fortune to obtain teat distinguished man under whom the approbation of 1 ". life he had spent the early part o f his .., • And he would say that at all times, both in Ten and military affairs, his approbation was most cheering to hi m . Th us encouraged and supported, he couldt. e not fail to d evo t e his best energies to the support of the country, I n t hi s place, four years before, he assure out to d the Court of Direc tors that he was goinglndia with out any pro pensity of a warlike nature. He had fulfilled that pledge.---(Cheers.) When war w as threatened against the only nation in India with whom our arms h a d never been tried—with the army trained un d er Runjeet Singh —it was met without delay by the Noble Lord, his Gal lant Friend, Lord Gough, and the energy, intrepidity, and gallant spirit which marked his character, an i mat i ng the soldiers, he rolled back the tide of invasion, and within sixty days of the first shot being fired, the Bri tish flag was flying from the ramparts of Lahore.— (Cheers.) Daring the two years since the war hail been at an end, the army occupying Lah ore h ad been anim a t e d by the most excellent spirit of discipline. He might also add that the army d brave after victory as they was ,s geneus n were a valiant ro a and brave in achieving ; 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 t ranquillity 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 di sturbed. Of the 100,000 Seikh soldiers and the 350 pieces of can non that were employed against our forces, 30000 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.—(Load 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 cur Government, and were to continue to hold them only pending their good behaviour. These were his reasons for thinking that the tranquillity of the coun'ry would not be disturbed. But, if he doubted whether or not tranquillity would last, still he was confident that disturbance would not come from the Seikhs.

TIAIES.—Tbe quarterly return of the revenue pre. cents little matter fur remark, but is on the whole of 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 sessiT n. Resigning the year just ended, therefore, to those who will probably take this opportunity of thrice killing till slain, we will proceed at once to the comparison of the quarter just ended with the corresponding quarter last seer. There he 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, arequitesufficientfulling tolrg off In the have accounted fora uch moreconsiderable 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 l'quors 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 au increase on the quarter of about 70,0001. Au 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 eight 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 Iri s h 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 halt'. 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. 1846. Butter 27,954 34,801 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 10,648,8041, 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 Property tax does not diminish in prouductiveness. There is, on the contrary, au 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 13.0001. 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 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 455,0214 against the apparent 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 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 a la n r ds g o e m i e nc d r u ease under the head of th e E xc i se. Thi s, we are infor me d, i s i n a great measure owing to the transfer of accordinglyties yr o p; heretofore ree i collected s b i d y e r t a h b e I e tinhethe xcise receipts itself o may f the latter heup s department. peos d toshow 0 Sti 161, smallhowever, increase—a fact which is vet ytogt rhaetifin ing, in so nic d egree, our fearsas g : as by the the worki ng c l asses. The account sufferingsfor then u ri yearng shows more fully th an that for the quarter the operation of the blunderings of the last two years.

' proved in 1846, when Captain Lawrance, at the head of 80,000 Seikh soldiers, advanced to take possession of Cashmere, and though that duty could not be an agree able one to them, still they fulfilled every article of the treaty. 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 ho 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 power, or the justice of the internal Government, his friend Captain Lewrince would be equally sure to maintain the British rule. If Honourable Gentle ' men wished to know what were the advantages of the East Indis military service, and what could be d accomplished b y the officers whom that servic e pro uced, they Lawrenc, whe might behold an ill us t rat i on i n C apta i n o had obtained power soly by his Owe merits, and who fbr his merits alone htal le been selected by him (Lord Herdinge) to be at the head of three mil lion of subjects, or to superintend an army of 30,000 men.—(Cheers.) After eulogising the efficiency both of the civil and military services in India, he said the suc cesses of the army had not only secured the legitimate objects of war, which were to secure an honourable and a lasting peace, but they had enabled the Government to remonstrate against the rites of infanticide and suttee; and only two years ago a native state, with a population of twenty millions, voluntarily renounced these horrid practices.—(Cheers.) This was in a great measure owing to the success with which the question was grap pled with twenty years a g o by . the late Lo r d Willi am 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.) 'l'o the latest hour of his life he should feel deeply interested in fhe 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. H e would not detain the assembly any longer with any az , count of their magnificent empire, containing_ e a s . did last year 12,000 miles of frontier , and continga population of 100,000 souls—he would only conclude m by again acknowledging the flattering honour they had done him, and thanking them for the honour they had conferred upon him.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Church and the Archbishop of Canterbury."—(Cheers.) The Archbishop of CANTERBURY 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 tho 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. lle 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 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 choi ce cou ld not b e ma d e 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 z , al, his talents, his patience, his fortitude. I wa s n o t unac quainted with th e 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 lie has overcome them all. —(Continued cheering.) Ho 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.) I believe my Noble Friend is a singular instance of 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 HOBHOUSE shortly replied, and proposed " The health of the Chairman." The CHAIRMAN replied, 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. 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:ofthe 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 th e b a ttl e of Sobraon—it was my fortunate lot to d escr ib e hi s c onduct on that eventful and night which intervened between the commencement_ the close of the battle of Ferczeshab, 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 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 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, unabated, 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 may 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 lIARDINCE proposed " The health of Lord Gough, and the Army in India." The CHAIRIIAN thcn 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 end 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 Nol):,:! 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 bis 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 ploits I can say nothing which has not already been better said and by other sources of much higher autho rity.pdourl But this I bel would lsay of his military exploits, that w sa e t r is e faction employedif to have conveyed to me little u ie h v o e i d that all this valour and skill the interests of manPkind ti a Government pernicious to for rejoicing in these victories My chief reason he ; r t s lat I am deeply con vinced our Government in Indiai e E English n g n a to m e t . the human race, and an honour tott i l s a (Cheers.) I have some right to speak on this subject, because I have been connected in two P that great country. I have been a me mbe c e r a a o p a f a c c t i h i t t e i i e e B s s o w h a i r a t d h s for the office of Control, I have also b een a servant of the Company, and all I have seen in both satisfied me that no Government could exist, under the 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 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 inarnoveable 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 House of Commons. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5. OUTGOING TENANTS (IRELAND) 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 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 C om p any 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.

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 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 loss in the boats was trilling; one man killed, and a midshipman wounded. The wounded and prisoners were sent on board the Alarm —some of the former had died.—Jarnaice limes, 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 7th 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 on the approach of the boats. Captain Loch had sent an officer to the city of Gre nada to make terms with the Government.

General Patrick to h Walker, Ring r,E o Esq., her erßri tMos- quito, was l : luist unfortunately dr owne d i n proceeding up the river e nc r i 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 procuring their 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.

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 Ipotators, which may be considered as the silver currency of the ' island; yams, being a more valuable commodity, may be termed the gold currency!"
