CONSTITUTION OF THE COMPANY. This is the only Guaranteed Mutual Life Company—All other Assurance Companies are either Mutual, in which the parties Assured are also their own assurers, there being no Share holders and no original Capital—or Proprietary, in which the assured have no share in the profits, which belong exclusively to the Shareholders—or Mixed, in which the assured have the option, on payment of larger p-emium, of participating in a portion only of the profits. By the Constitution of the Lon don, Edinburgh, and Dublin o:mpany, the Mutual Class of the assured are entitled to the Whole of the Mutual Profits, as if they had been assured in a purely Mutual Society, and they have also the security of the funds of the Company supplied by the Shareholders, who, guarantee by the subscribed Capital, the payment of the sums assured—the assured themselves being re lieved from all responsibility, and thus placed in the right of the advantares afforded both by Mutual Societies and Proprie- tary Companies.

Important improvements have been introduced into Life As surance practice by this Company, whereby the mode of ob taining Policies is simplified, all doubts as to their validity arc removed, and their application is much extended. The Policies are Indefeasible and Indisputable, unless they have been fraudulently obtainei. They at once create for the assured an unquestionable right in reversion, easily negotiable, and valuable as a collateral secuity in pecuniary transactions. One-half of the Premiums may remain unpaid for Seven Years, affording a greater facility and more economical plan for loan transactions and family provisions than any other which has been suggested, allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured at a future pe riod, when loss of health may prevent him from obtaining a new assurance, to continue a Policy for double the amount of the sum for which he has paid premiums.

The rimilarity, in this respect, might be made perfect; but such a fancied advantage could only be obtained by imitating certain impurities, existent in the Foreign productions, from which the Patent Braryly is exempt; as is demonstrated by the Testimonials of the most eminent Chemists, to whom it has been submitted for Rnalysig ; and is, further, abundantly proved by the sanction of Medical Men of the highest standing, as well in their private practice, is in their directions to employ it in the Civil and Military 110spb. tals, Infirmaries, and other Charitable Institutions, throughout the Country. under their 'barge ; where it has superseded Fo reign Brandy. J. T. Betts and Co. regard these facts as the only comment necessary to be offered upon the attempts which tre yearly made, and as certainly and frequently abandoned, to introduce articles of the same class; which a very short experience lt.ti proved to be Utterly destitute of those qtialitiett necessary to Justify their claims to public support, This valuable Spirit is manufactured only at the Distillery of J. T. Betts and Co., No. 7, Smithfield. bars, London ; and is sold by the Spirit Dealers in all parts of the Country ; or by Agents specially appointed, under Sealed Certificates, where there are no Dealers who keep the article. • PA PIER IVIAtHE TEA TRAYS, 50s. the SET, of FULL-SIZED GOTHIC SHAPE.

On Thursday a full meeting of the Noblemen, Gentle men, Commissioners of Supply, Justices of the Peace, awl Magistrates of towns in the County of Renfrew, was held in the County Hall, to consider the distressed state of the unemployed inhabitants, with the view of adopt ing such measures as might seem necessary for the alle viation of that distress. On the motion of W. M. ALEXANDER, Esq., of South bar, the Convener of the County, Sir William Napier, was called to the chair. Mr. BARR read the minutes of the meeting which took place in Glasgow on the Ist instant, for the purpose of devising measures for the relief of the unemployed operatives in Paisley. A letter from Dr. Burns was read, addressed to the Convener, stating that he wished to attend the meeting, and would crave a hearing. P, M. STEWART, Esq., M.P., would move that Dr. Butts should be heard, as the leader of the Deputation to London. Lord KELBURNE seconded the motion. Dr. Burns was then introduced, and gave a long ac count of the proceedings of the Deputation in London, The CHAIRMAN here stated that he had received a letter from Mr. Brewster, craving permission to present some petitions, and to make a few remarks in their support. Ihe Rev. Mr. BAIRD, however, first rose, and said he came to Paisley nearly seventeen years ago, and during the first twelve, amidst all the painful depressions of trade in town, he was sure they could not have found one out of fifty wishing to emigrate. What was the case now ? Why, he did not believe they would find one mar. out of a hundred willing to stay at home. The affections of the peo ple were at last alienated from the land that gave them birth, although never was there a class of people more attached to their father-land than the people of Paisley. That attachment was now annihilated, and when such was the case, a community was not very far removed from a storm which ought to make them tremble. It has been well said, send six philosophers to a barren island of the sea, and in six days they will become cannibals, and try to eat one another. If time allowed, he would de - Clare himself an advocate for the rights of property, He did not believe any country was worth living ir. where the rights of property were not protected. But no class should be protected over the other. He would ask what was the poor men's rights of property ? What was the property of the millions—the masses, which was firmly rooted, and which was the basis of the social pyramid ? It was their labour, and before humanity and in the eyes of God, that Troperty was as much deserving pro tection as any kind of property in the land. After a few further observations, Mr. Baird concluded by thanking the meeting for the indulgence they had shown him. Mr. BREWSTER then rose and laid several petitions on ANHOOD the table, and requested leave to read one of there and Just piiinished; th 6 Seventh hdition, prite 3s , i atid sea free, make a few remarks, which was granted.

RAIL WA I S.-IPASSENGERS' LUGGAGR Every one who travels by the railways in England ' complains of the want of due regulation respecting the luggage of passengers. It is surprising that the ma nagers of railways, who are for the most part clever per sons in their way, and who must naturally desire to attract customers by giving them every reasonable ac commodation, should up' to the present time have ne glected to " give satisfaction " in the matter of luggage. Some people talk of the risk of travelling by railway ; but it seems to be pretty generally admitted that the risk of losing life or limb is by no mean considerable. Tho risk uf losing luglwage, however, is by all considered to be imminent. It Is snatched away from the dis tracted traveller at the inouient that he is thrust into his seat, fearing that if he delay half a second he will be either left behind or killed. lie linutys not where his luggage has been put, and, alas ! it fs my probable he will never know. When the train arrives; all is con fusion. If he regain all his luggage without much trou ble the traveller is very fortunate—if he regain a part of it he is better off thati sane of his neighbours-4f he lose it all, where is his redress 7 The great railroads have very arbitrary Acts of Par liament on their side, and as they are sole possessors of the means of getting from one place to another, we must be content to bear with the consequences of great power upon which their is no efficient check. But as the managers are powerful, may we not entreat that they would be merciful also ? Will they not have pity upon passengers, and not rend asunder those ties of tender affection which commonly subsist between a man ! and his luggage ? To be parted from it durinr , a journey is enough of trial for ordinary sensibility, to be separated from it for ever is too cruel. They manage these things- better in France, oy at all events in Belgium, which comes pretty much to the same thing. There you deliver up your luggage when you come to the railway, and you get a recept for it. If beyond a certain weight, you pay something for the surplus, but you have your receipt, and feel quite comfortable about your trunks. There is a luggage apartment attached to each train, and your trunks are deposited therein, each box or bag having chalked on it a number which corresponds with that on your receipt. The luggage is numerically assorted in the apartment assigned to it, and a guard is appointed who attends to the luggage and nothing else. Surely there is nothing in this so difficult but what it might be copied in England, and the additional comfort in travel , ling would be very great.

BROWN begs to return his best thanks to his friends for their kind support during the last Four Years, and to in form them he has REMOVED from St. John's-lane to supe rior and more extensive premises, 20, CLAYTON-SQUARE.

It contains for their use a separate Commer cial Room, free from those expensive and compulsory drinking customs which regulate commercial houses generally.- Refreshments provided in the Coffee Room, in which will be found a good supply of London and Provincial Newspapers. Private Sitting Rooms for Families. THE SKATING-ROOM. The title of this article may seem as strange to many as it did to ourself, labouring under the ordinary impres sion that skating would be associated with the natural atmospheric phenomenon, which must imply the cer tainty of a sheet of ice sufficient to afford the means of exercise of skating on all and every days, without re gard to times or seasons. Such were our notions when we went to enjoy the view, by especial invitation. There were many obstacles that presented themselves, we have no doubt, even to those who had admired the amusement for its healthfulness and the scope for the cultivation of elegance of action which it affords; that, by any artifi cial substitute the skater could be permanently assured of field for his sport •, and we went to view the skat ing-room under all these impressions in their deepest dye. We, however, were agreeably undeceived ;we left the place in the full conviction that the invention was complete in theory, and demonstrated to be per fect in practicable application to the indulgence of the graceful amusement of skating at all times. The skating-room is not strikingly capacious, but has been studiously confined to bounds sufficiently limited to show that many premises are capable, without material archi tectual alteration, of affording all that is necessary for skating parties. The room we saw yesterday, that bad been fitted up for the purpose, on experiment, did not exceed twenty-six feet by nineteen feet (-certainly not more space than would be required for a commodious bil liard-room) ; and thus it appeared to us that it might be applied to residences of ordinary magnitude in private life—to public establishments on a moderate scale, such as schools, and other establishments of different descrip tions. The room, of which we have given above the di mensions, was originally the seed-room of the late Mr. Jenkins, of the Nursery-ground, New-road, near Dorset square, had of course been built without reference to the purpose to which it is now so efficiently made applicable. The floor the original fabric which once presented its fair appearance, has now been transformed into a minia ture lake of ice. The lights are admitted through tran sparencies only, representing beautiful winter land scapes, tastefully contrived to harmonise with the in ternal decorations of drooping trees and snow-be sprinkled benches, or rural resting-places. The object altogether presents a perfect panorama of still life, ad vantageously and delightfully fitted-up for real life con venience and gratification. These remarks, however, apply only to the external appearance of the apartment, which may please, butnevertheless are of minor import ance compared with the principal object, namely, the artificial ice, which composes the supposed little lake, upon which the skaters are to have their play. The com position, in appearance at the first glance, is exactly that of real ice, and in its use as here intended, has seemingly every property which the experienced skater can desire. It yields to and resists the skate in the same proportion, so as to leave the previously proficient in the exercise little or no practice to make them as much at home as if on the natural surface to which they had been accus tomed. We saw several skaters of celebrity exhibit their skill, and they afforded a great treat to the visitors, among whom were a great number of ladies. One of the skaters was Sir W. Newton, an artist of eminence, and President of the Skating Club. Mr. Kirk, the in ventor, and one of the patentees, exerted himself consider ably, and put the artificial ice to the utmost test, far ex ceeding that which real ice is ever called upon to endure, and the composition resisted all effort to daniage it, nor did it mar in the smallest degree the display of Mr. Kirk's superior capabilities. We left the view in the full conviction that the invention, in all its professions, was in fact perfect. The room was beautifully charac teristic in its appearance, and the lake substantially sound for use. We were informed that the above was only an epitome of a more extensive establishment, to be entitled the Glaciarium and Frozen Lake. An interest ing thoelel of the projected building is to be seen on the premises, the production of Mr. Bardwell, which itself would repay the trouble of a visit to any one of ordinary taste. It exhibits a lake of 30C1 feet by 130 feet, stir ' ratinded by Alpine scenery. The lake i of course, being preserved for the skaters, while the curious visitors may ramble in fanciful reality through Swiss villages, loiter in cottages, 101 l on benches, or take their view of the sports below from romantic bridges, and make themselves be lieve in summer's height they are abroad contemplating the beauties of winter. The distance is to be managed in the exclusive admission of light through transpa rencies in all directions, above and below ; and, when completed, the building, we presume, will be the largest arena perhaps in Europe. The invention is capable of vast recommendation to the lovers of skating, and may be the means of creating a taste for the amusement on an extended scale. Ladies may take lessons without fear, and enjoy an exercise unexceptionable. There will be no danger of ice breaking, nor any risk from expo sure to weather. The composition, we are told, re mains good at one hundred degrees ; and, when the Skating Club gave their approval of it, they skated in an atmosphere of 85. Seasons or times cannot affect the lake; and the principle may be readily applied to col leges, club-houses, schools, and mansions generally, de scending to within the compass of people of very mode rate means. On the most extended plan it is certain to prove an immense attraction to the metropolis as a pro menade. It may not be out of place to hint, for the in formation of our northern neighbours, that they are , rling," when likely now to have an opportunity of "cu they are inclined , and that they may pl a y in Midsummer. We saw a number of ne visitors of " of distinc tion at the view, all of whom expressed great approbation. Among them we may name: —Lord Adolphus Fitz clarence, Sir W. R. Newton, Bart., Captain Litchfield, Captain Warren, Dr, eye Smith, Colonel Gore, Duke of Brunswick, Lady Walpole, friend from Buckingham Palace, Mr. Hardwick, and many others of note. • CHANCERY friars-road,George Franks, of Black has Irately obtained an injunction in Dublin against Joseph Page, for selling a medicine u nder the name of ranks Specific Solution of Copa iba."

Corpulency is often but a symptom of vigorous health. Nature, to relieve the system of its redundancy of blood, causes an increased deposition of fat. Good hu mour and good living a re the most comm on causes of this affection. Solomon rema rks—" A merry . heart doeth good like a medicine ; but a broken spirit drieth the bones." " Laugh and grow fat," says the old proverb. Sterne observes—" Every time a man laughs .he adds to the duration of his life." In alluding to the influence of a life of ease in causing corpulency, Dr. Arbuthnot says —you may see an army of 40,000 soldiers, without a fat man among them, but I dare affirm, that with plenty of rest, 20 out of 40 shall grow fat."

THE OXFORD CONTROVERSY. . LETTER FROM LORD ASHLEY. " St. Giles' House, Dec. 11, 1841. " SIR—In the letter which I have had the honour .of receiving from you to solicit my vote and interest in Mr. Williams's behalf,' you desire also, on the part or.' , the Committee, a reply to their communication. " I hasten to furnish that reply. " The Rev. Isaac Williams has presented himself for the vacant chair of the Professor of Poetry. I have.. no doubt whatever that he possesses all those amiable, qualities and high attainments which his supporters put. forward as the ground of his election. Nor should I hesitate, as I replied to my friend Dr. Pusey, to render.him any private service that might lie within my power;,. but the Rev. Gentleman claims a public post, and seeks to be invested with public authority ; and it has be come, tf:erefore, the duty of every one, who has a voice in the decision, to consider the consequences of raising him to such NI office. The Rev. Mr. Williams aspires to be a moral teacher ; the Professor of Poetry in a Christian "University must impart to his writings and his lectures, frequently on. secular, always on sacred, subjects those sentiments and principles which he believes to be essential to the propaga, Lion of the truth ; this we should expect of a layman; we should demand it of a minister. The late accomplished, and amiable Professor was animated by this spirit, and. published, with the attraction of his respected name and: the authority of his official station, sundry poems of ad.- mitted talent and disputed theology. "I am now summoned to consider whether a similar appointment would not confer a simile,: authority. " The venerable members of Trinit; College have issued a disclaimer fur Mr. Williams hitoself, and have deprecated, on the part of others, any attempt whatever to introduce, upon the occasion, questions of . theological: controversy.' " With all the deference that is due from a lay man, I cannot believe myself at liberty to set aside these important considerations. I acknowledge the latitude of speculation that must be permitted to all the members of a common Church ; but there are limits, I maintain, which must not be over p3,Bsed, at least without a solemn and indignant protest. on the part of those who have bkh an opportunity and. a right to give an opinion. e I h ave en a:avoured, then, to ascertain the principles o f M r . Willi ams , a id I have found that he is the* author of the tract entitled iteserve in Communicating Aeri gious Knowledge.' " There is no power on earth that shall induce "Ile to assist in elevating the writer of that paper to the station of a public teacher. I see very little difference* between a man who promulgates false doctrine and him.. who suppresses the true. I cannot concur in the approval of a candidate whose writings are in contravention of the inspired Apostle, and reverser his holy exultation that he had net shunned too declare, to his readers, the whole counsel of God." I will not consent to give my support, however humble,- towards the recognition of exoteric and esoteric doctrines in the Church of England, to obscure the per spicuity of the Go:Tel by the philosophy of Paganism,. and make the places set apart for the ministrations of the preacher, whose duties must mainly be among the poor, the wayfaring, and the simple, as mystic and mcompl.e hensible as the grove of Eleusis. " These, Sir, are my reasons for refusing my vote to Mr. Williams ; and I hope I have given my answer as candidly as you have required it. " I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, " Roundell Palmer, Esq. " ASHLEY." MEMORIAL TO THE QUEEN, FROM THE WOMEN OF ,BOLTON. _ - On Thursday morning George Thorcpson, Esq., the celebrated advocate of the oppressed, delivered a lecture on the nature of the Corn-laws, to an assembly of ladies, in the Town Hall, Little Bolton, preparatory to the adoption of a mem or i a l t o th e Q i t een , supplica!Ang her interferenfe for the relief of her starving people- 1 1- Heywood, Esq., occupied the chair ; and we oboe:wed present, Messrs. Darbishire, E. Ashworth, W. Naisby f Rev. W. Jones, Rev. William Fraser, and other gentle men. We refer with great pleasure to the memorial adopted on the occasion by the women of Bolton, which will .be found in our advertising columns. The meeting, which was numerous and respectable, was addressed by the zealous and indefatigable philanthropist in a quiet,, conversational style, which moved many of his fair audi tors even to tears. He described, with deep pathos, the scenes of deep wretchedness he had that morning wit nessed, during a round of visits he had made to the abcdes of poverty in Bolton—old men and women, and young children literally starving ; families without beds, without clothes, without fire, and without food.. The eloquent speaker went on to describe the spirit with which the women of Manchester had taken up the ques tisn of memorialising the Queen. They had made it. not a political but a humanity question. Ladies belong ing to families widely differing in their politics, were there acting cordially together as a sisterhood of charity, in the grand work of benevolence. The town had been divided into districts, and fifty ladies had each under taken the canvassing, either by themselves or their assistants, of one of these divisions, for the purpose of obtaining signatures to a memorial similar to- that which he was about to propose for their adoption. The unfa vourable weather had not deterred these ladies from pur suing this labour of love. There they were, day after day, going about from door to door, collecting the signa tures of all classes of females, and witnessing in their rounds the-most appalling evidences of thateide-spread misery, vi hick their memorial prayed her Majesty to interfere in relieving. In urging the ladies 511. e hint to follow the example of their sisters at Manche r, he did not wish to go into an abstruse discussion of the Corn , law, though he agreed with the gentlemen around him, that the bread-tax tended to destroy trade, and to throw people out of employment, as well as to make bread dear ; and he wished especially to impress it upon them, that the Corn-law was unjust. It was a law enacted by the rich landlords, for their own benefit, at the expense of the oppressed poor. But he would fix their attention chiefly in the awful amount of suffering around them, and then he believed they would be anxious to remove its causes, the chief of which he believed to be the Can-law. He reminded them of the influence they had exercised on the question of slavery, and declared his belief, that it required but the women of Britain to give the casting vote for the repeal of the bread-tax. Mr. Thompson having read the memorial—Mr. E. Ashworth, in propo sing its adoption, described a most affecting scene he had witnessed in Bolton a few days ago: it was the case of a sober family, who were obliged to pawn their last sheet, to save themselves from perishing of hunger. Alluding to the sentiments expressed by Mr. Thompson, Mr. Ashworth (addressing the ladies) said, if any one at tempted to deter them from this work by calling it poli tical, they might depend on it that person was political -The Rev. Mr. Fraser alluded to the extraordinary ex tions of the women of Bolton in the anti-slavery question, when they obtained upwards of 12,000 signatures to their petition. At the same time they gave a stimulus to Manchester, by their noble example. The women of Manchester expected on this occasion to reach eighty or a hundred thousand signatures. Let them emulate this zeal, and give an example to other places in their turn. A Committee of Ladies, to make the necessary arrange ments, having been formed, and thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting broke up about one o'clock. Afton Free Press.
