George Vaughan, Esq. The Directors hereby give notice to Members whose Pre miums fall due on the sth of January next, that the same must be paid within thirty days from that date. The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly, on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commence ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of January next, should appear, or lodge their proposals at the Office on or before that day. So various are the plans now before the public for effecting Assurance on Life, that it may, at first sight, seem difficult to make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classification may be made :- Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions between Share and Stockholders and the assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the assured only. The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver tising resorted to, yet its advantages have beers so well appre. ciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed 36,0001. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af fairs, the annual premiums of members of five years' standing have been reduced forty per cent., and a confident expectation may be entertained of an increased rate of reduction at no dis tant period. A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained on application at the Office. RICHARD HEATHFIELD, Superintendent.

The Company transacts business in every department of Life and Fire Assurance, in Annuities, Reversions, and Leans. LIFE DEPARTMENT. J. T, CLEMENT, Esq., Actuary. A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in the prots at the next division, as if they had been insured for the whole period. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe cific sum, witl;out a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating 'scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 500/. only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of 100/., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain fur five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and Aiould the policy become a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : Age 20, without profits £1 13 0 with profits £1 18 0 30 40 . ........... 214 3 ... 3 1 3 50 For short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and forany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

The Directors beg to remind their friends, whose Pre miums become due at Christmas, that no extra charge is made at this Office for the Transfer of Policies, and that they will be rated on terms peculiarly favourable to parties insuring.

PAR R'S- LIFE PILLS. IMPORTANT CAUTION ! It has been diselvered that vile attempts had been made, and still are made, to substitute base imitations for the genuine iMedicine ; in proof of which, attention is directed to the fol owing advertisement, which appeared in the " Nottingham Review," of January 22, 11441 : PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond. ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or, where debi lity has made threatening Inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are nooe to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is in tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the con ect treatment of sexual infirmities.

By SAMUEL LA'MFRT, CONSULTING SURGEON, 21, FALKNER-STREET, MANCHESTER, " If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec tion and extensive practical experience."—Planet. ‘, The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secresy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence--its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with out affording a remedy. It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Messenger. " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public, and not the isolated arid exclusive members of the profession, are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and will demand that medical works for public st u d y s h ou ld b e devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study. The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well-told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi dently the production of a mind long and practically conver sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization."—Magnet The security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief anxiety of all; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations.

A Public Meeting was held yesterday in the large room of the Guildhall, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. The platform was well filled, and the room was crowded by a number of the middle and working-classes. On the motion of Admiral GORDON, W. Hunt, Esq., called on to preside. The CHAIRMAN, after stating the object of the meeting, and dwelling upon the fact, that the interests of the land owner and manufacturer are compatible with each other, adverted to the assertion used by every advocate for the Corn-laws, that if they were repealed the country would be inundated with foreign wheat. In answer to this, said he, I will put two questions—Where is the wheat to come from that is to inundate this country ? and what would be the average price at which any wheat, in the event of free trade, could be delivered in this country ? With regard to the first question. The average con sumption of wheat in this country is about 18 millions of quarters. Now it has been ascertained, that from the whole of Europe we could not, consistently with what they must grow for their own population, obtain more than 2 millions of quarters, even supposing them to carry cultivation to its highest pitch. Suppose to this we add two millions more from America. Why, even with this supply, we are yet left under the absolute necessity of raising 14 millions from the land of this kingdom. With what reason, then, can it be said that the abolition of these laws would throw all our kind out of cultivation, or even half the land, or a quarter, or indeed any portion of it, when increased commerce would occasion increased consumption, and any land there might be to spare could so advantageously be laid down in pasturage ? And the lands being cultivated, the agricultural population is engaged upon them ; and hence the notion of their being driven to manufacturing towns falls to the ground, with the assertion of all land thrown out of cultivatiOn, as to require no further argument to confute it. With regard to my second question, as to what is likely to be the average price at wkich corn can be brought to this country free of duty—l say, hardly below 50s. the quarter, for it has been ascertained that the average price at Dantztc is about 345. the quarter, and that shipping, landing, ware housing for 6 months, and selling commission, and other charges, may be fairly computed at 18s. the quarter ; so that we may put the average price at 50s. Now, is the British corn-grower able to compete with this price? I am sure you will say yes, when I tell you that, in a recent statement from the Board of Trade, it was said that the average price of wheat for the whole kingdom for the last seven years was 525. 2d. the quarter. Here, then, is scarcely a difference between a price which the landholder does not pretend to complain of, and the rate at which wheat could be imported when free of duty. Would our landlords be at any disadvantage with competition of this character, especially when the advantage of skill, capital, machinery, and scientific research, would be entirely on their side? The probability is that our landholders would carry the day against the Continent, while a free trade would open a hundred ports for our manufactures, 'and plant a wedge in the German League'now forming ag ainst us, that, driven home, by th e s kill an d i n d us t r y o f our manufacturers, would split it into a thousand pieces.— (Loud cheers.) After dwelling on similar topics often discussed, he thus conclud es : —E ven if th e Corn-laws _ . had any pretensions to sound policy, they could not be maintained at the expense of happiness, morals, and life itself. The benificence of Christianity can never har monise with a system that strikes down the arm of in dustry, that limits the means and attacks the very right of subsistence.—(Hear, hear.) The example of our Lord, who fed multitudes in the wilderness, might teach us how much the provision of bodily necessities is within the scope and design of the Gospel ; and he can never pretend to an imitation of that character, who, in the face of famishing multitudes, would obstruct a supply of bread. This is the natural operation of Corn-laws, for, by cramping our commerce, they diminish that demand which creates employment, and thus cut off the indus trious man from the chance of that daily labour upon which he depends for his daily subsistence. " Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,' is a command too plain to be evaded or misunderstood: yet, what love can that be which, for the sake of a questionable and remote advan tage, would suffer multitudes of our neighbours and countrymen to languish in pauperism or perish for want? —(Cheers.) Neither the laws of God or man can tolerate such a course; and therefore it is, that if the Corn-laws have been brought in in error , or for any exclusive inte rest, in justice to sound principles of commerce, in duty to the interests and safety of the nation, and in obedience to Him who is eminently the " Judge of the poor of the people, and who shall save the children of the needy, and break in pieces the oppressor," let us denounce the per nicious tendency of such laws, and earnestly petition that they be erased from our statute-book for ever.—(Cheers.) The Rev. THOMAS SPENCER, in moving the first reso lution, said he stood there as the advocate of free trade in its largest sense—(Cheers)—and he maintained that this country had no more right to be fettered in its commerce than the Somersetshire man had to object to the Wilt shire man coming into his market ; or the owner of a bad farm to apply to Parliament to tax his more fortu- L nate neighbour ; or to object to an interchange of corn , n - oclities between the butcher, the baker, and the grocer. —(Hear, hear.) Towns were made up of individuals ; nations of towns ; and the world of nations ; and the sooner the whole world became interested in each other's welfare, and were as one family of man, the sooner, he believed, it would be bette r f or all.—(Cheers.) He would now answer some of the objections which bad been urged against a repeal of the Corn-laws, as, in his opinion, there was more to be gained from argument than from threats of physical force or of destruc tion of property.—(Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") The first objection which was generally urged was, that it would be a bad thing for the country to be dependent on foreign nations for its corn, especially in time of war. But it was a curious fact, that none were now more dependant on foreign nations than were the English. The articles which furnished the rich man's breakfast, his dinner, his mahogany, his wine, his gold and his silver—for all these he was dependent on foreign nations; and, in fact, there was scarcely anything for which he did not depend on them. As to the danger in time of war, the very danger of war at all arose from the Corn laws. If there were to be a war with America, ii; would most probably arise from wanting unfair terms. Was there any tradesman who in his dealings had a customer of 5001., from which he derived his profit, who would be likely to quarrel with his customer? So it was with nations; and if they wanted America—which was one of the greatest, and would, probably, one day be the greatest, nation of the earth,---if, he said, England wanted America to be her friend, let her send out her 100,0001. a-year to her for corn, and it was not probable she would then fall out. Solomon was the wisest of men ; and of him it was recorded, that when building the temple, he sent to Hiram, King of Tyre, for timber, —" and Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty mea sures of pule oil ; thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year." And in the very next verse it said, " and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon."—(Loud cheers.) They read also in Scripture of the people of Tyre coming to Herod, and desiring peace with him, " because their country was nourished by the King's country." And so it would always be ; when one country was " nourished" by another it could not afford to quarrel. He (the Rev. Speaker) wanted to know if the British farmer could not oompete with a man 3,000 miles off, who had first to carry his corn an im • mense distance to ship it, and then to transport it across the Atlantic? He heard the other day of an American house which owed a Birmingham firm 500,0001. which they were unable to pay in money, but were quite willing to pay in flour ; but they could not because of the Corn laws. He would ask, what did Birmingham want more than the flour, and what more did the American house want but to be enabled to pay its debt ? He met with a gentleman on a coach the other day, who was a Conser vative in principle, and talked very freely of the then Radical Ministry and the distress of the country. It was with some fear that he. asked the gentleman his opinion of the Corn-laws. "Oh !" he replied, " they are at the bottom of it all." There was another objection, which was very popular with the middle and lower classes, which was, that cheapness of food would produce lowness of wages. Now, in America, where food was very cheap, the demand for labour was very great, and the wages very good ;—so great, indeed, was the demand for labour, that there were those in the higher orders who worked at agriculture. Every unskilled labourer got a dollar (4s. 3d.) a day, while in England wages were not more than ls. 6d. a=day. Yet there bread was cheap, meat was cheap—pork, lid. a lb., beef, I id. a lb., and wages, 4s. 3d. a day. The highness or lowness of wages depended on the demand for labour ; and with free trade, with a demand for manufactures, with railways to convey them at home, and steam vessels to carry them abroad, every one could afford to keep up wages, and the consequence of free trade would be cheap bread.—(Loud cheers.) In conclusion, he would ask, Who were interested in their maintenance ?-30,000. Who were desirous of their repeal ?-26 millions. As one who, wished the greatest happiness to the greatest number, he certainly preferred the majority of 26 mil lions to the minority of 30,000.—(Great cheering.) He would advise his hearers to be, united in what they sought. So long as the monopolists saw the middle and working classes pulling against each other, so long would they be secure. It was a law in mechanics, that two powers, equal and opposing, destroyed each other ; b u t when both were urged in the same direction, then the entire force was the sum of the two. While disunited, the monopolists would laugh at their opposition, but firmly combined, no power on earth could resist them. The Rev. Speaker concluded by reading the resolution, which was condemnatory of the Corn-laws, and declar ing that they ought to be repealed, and sat down amidst considerable applause. Admiral GO - 160N seconded the resolution, and entered into some statistical details. The resolution was then put, and carried by an over whelming majority, there being only four dissentients. Mr. HENRY VINCENT was announced to move the second resolution, and on presenting himself was re ceived with deafening applause. Before he proceeded with the observations he should offer on the resolution, he would congratulate the meeting and the liberal gen tlemen upon the platform, upon the happy augury which that assembly held out of its being the precursor to a better state of feeling between the middle and the work ing classes, the foundation of England's national glory.— (Hear, hear, hear.) He entered upon the present dis- if •• t it !tic ha of ,1 cen f to DP, 6 e ico DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of thin prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitl e d " Manhood, " i s one o f t h e few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able:—Magnet. The periisal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex• tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, sur..h as exposure to cold, su d den v i c i ss i tu d es of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consimption, Epilepsy, &c., hith erto the oppro b r i a o f medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to a s f avoura bl e a t erm i nat i on as any other class of ffections.

POWER OF REVOKING. THE LI CENSES OF HACKNEY-COACH PROPRIETORS. The following circular, in which the public are in some degree interested, has been sent round to the several Magistrates of Police :- - Stamps - and Taxes, London, Dec. 18, 1841. " Gentlemen—lt having been represented to the Com missioners of this revenue that great inconverience has been occasioned to the officers of the Metropll ltan Police, in consequence of hackney-carriage proprietors being frequently not to be found at the places registered at this office as ,their residences, I am desired to acquaint the Magistrates that the Board have the power of revoking the, licenses, and recalling the plates, of hackney-carriage proprietors under such circumstances. If. therefore, the Magistrates will direct that a communication be made to this office of any cases of this kind that may in future occur, the Board will institute the proper inquiries whe ther the party - is carrying on the business under a false name Or address,_ and will revoke the li cense if i t s h a ll he found that such is the case ; so as that persons may not continue proprietors of hackney-carriages who cannot be reached in the event of their committing any infrac tion of the law. _ _ the honour to be, CGHenAit Gentlemen, your y p o ß n E r s m s o L s y t obe dient servant, have , [ADVERTISEMENT.] CHRISTMAS SOUVENIR.—At a period when the social sympathies are most predominant and the genial influence of " Home" is felt in the highest degree —more especially by "My young misses," jus t arr i ve d to spend her vacation at the " Old Hall," the most ap propriate present becomes the first subject of considera tion ; a merely useful one can afford no evidence of taste, while a present possessing no claims of utility, shows a want of judgment.

PRICE 5d cussion with feelings of the sincerest nature, and he would yield to none in a desire to see his country free, and her people happy. There was a fearful and startling truth running through the resolution which had just been passed, that Government hitherto had existed for itself, and not for the interests of the governed, the Le gislature taking care that laws should be made for their own interests, and not for those for whose benefit all laws ought to exist. Now he (Mr. Vincent) maintained that Government had no right to interfere with the commerce of the country. Every man had a right to sell his own labour when, where, and how he pleased.—(Hear, hear.) Every combination of men had a right to do the same ; Great Britain had a right to do the same ; but it was going a step too far for the Legislature to say what mar kets they should have, and what they should not. Let them see what such a system of Legislature had done. It had not only passed a Corn-law, butit had denied that the world should be thrown open to the produce of their labour. How had the world been degraded by legislation intended for the interest of the governors apart from the governed. From the page of history and of Scripture they learned that all Governments had over-taxed their people ; and when they had awoke from their oppres sion, and endeavoured to enter into fraternizing combi nations with other countries, their governors had set them at war, in order that they might butcher each other.—(Cheers.) There never would be security for the peace of Europe or the world till the interests of the governed were made equal with those of the gover nors. And it was on this broad principle that he came forward that day with the greatest possible pleasure to give his protest against all class legislation, not merely against the Corn-laws, but against every species of ill which distressed, and divided, and desolated the na tion.—(Applause.) He most cordially supported the preceding resolution ; but the one he had to pro pose followed it up ; and, while denouncing the Corn-laws, it was too honest to allow those who passed the Corn-laws to escape without censure. They would tell Sir Robert Peel that they required something more than speeches in Parliament—that they wanted honest and practical statesmen—that they wanted deci sive measures to promote the glory and happiness of the people ; and they would present their respectful compli ment to Sir Robert Peel, and tell him that if their re quests were not complied with they would lay the axe of democratic freedom at the root of the corruptive tree.— (Cheers.) His resolution spoke of the full, fair, and entire representation of the people in the House of Com mons. But let them look at those who now sat iu that House—at Colonel Sibthorp in the Commons, and the Duke of Buckingham in the Lords—(Hear, hear) — and then ask themselves if they expected the prayer of their petition would be granted ? If they did they had forgotten what Dean Swift had said, long ago—" Blessed are they that expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed."—(Laughter.) When Parliament met there would be plenty of peti tions for its consideration. There would doubtless be a large one from the Anti-Corn-law League, and he knew there would be another large one from the party to which he belong ed. But what wou ld b e t h e i r recept i on ? Why, Sir Robrt Peel, who was well known as a prac tised and wily dog, would rise up and say in the kindest manner, " Mr. Speaker, all who know me will believe that no one more sincerely sympathizes with the dis tresses of the people than myself ;" and then he would wind up by declaring, " But, Sir, evils such as these cannot be relieved by legislation ; Parliament cannot reach them." This accursed law would continue till the Anti-Corn-law League would come over, and declare for a full, fair, and entire representation of the people in the Commons' House of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) Let them look at the power that would repeal the Corn laws. If an agitation could be got up, such as produced the passing of the Reform Bill ; if, as then, a Commit tee of gentlemen sat at Charing-cross, with . twenty non commissioned officers enrolled among their number ; if, as then, large meetings, such as the present, were pre sided over by Lords-Lieutenant of counties ; and a great fermentation were created throughout the country; then the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel would hold a consultation on the matter, and a ny, Lest they destroy us altogether, let us concede part of what they ask. But if the non-commissioned officers were to proceed by railway to different parts of the country, and, backed by the people, to offer an open resistance, then the Corn-laws would be re pealed to morrow. But these measures need not be re sorted to. Mr. Vincent proceeded at great length to argue for the identity of interest which existed between the mid dle and working classes, calling on the former to give up their prejudices, and on the latter to fit themselves for the exercise of political power. He stated his concur rence in the guarded manner in which the resolution had been framed, at the same time expressing his interpreta tion of a " full, fair, and impartial representation" of the people to be nothing short of Universal Suffrage. His speech, which was attentively listened to, was loudly cheered at its conclusion. The resolution was seconded by Mr. PHILP, and sup ported by Mr. W. P. ROBERTS. J. EDTMDGE, Esq., proposed the adoption of a petition, founded on the resolutions, to both Houses of Parliament., which was seconded by Mr. BOLWELL, sea. A vote of thanks to the Mayor, for the use of the Hall, and to W. Hunt, Esq., for presiding on the occasion, was moved by Mr. ARCH4RD and seconded by Mr. G. Cox ; and Mr. Hunt having acknowledged the compliment, the meeting vas dissolved. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The Gazette appointment of the Commission regarding the management of the Exchequer bill department confirms the views we expressed on that subject. Considering the Commission separately from other points, it is all very proper, with the view of enabling the Government to remodel the Exchequer bill de partment, and to decide upon the best plan of issue and management for the future. It is true that the public know the principal defects in the existing system, and the additional checks or re gulations that should be established to guard in future against the forgery of Exchequer bills, or against the fraudulent or unauthorised issue of them. Want of superintendence, and gross lathes on the part of the Crown,_ were the chief causes that not only led to the commis sion of fraud by Smith, but even tempted him to the perpetration of it. Strict supervi sion and vigilance, therefore, are the checks which common sense points out as best cal culated to protect the public in future. A branch of the Exchequer should also be opened in the City, under the charge of officers practically acquainted with the business of the Money Market, who should countersign every bill issued. The Royal Commissioners cannot throw much new light, therefore, upon that matter; but nevertheless, if the present Govern ment entertain difficulties regarding it, or wish for further information before coming to a con clusion, the plan of obtaining- the necessary data by a Report from a Commission is the safest they could have chosen. At the same time, we must repeat that the investigation of defects in management, and the substitution of a better system for the fidure, although absolutely neces sary, do not meet the exigencies of the case. There are, as we have formerly remarked, three separate points to be considered :- 1. Compensation to the innocent holders. 2. Discovery and punishment of the confede rates of Smith and Rapallo. 3. Protection for the future. The Commission issued applies chiefly to the last point, and leaves the other two unsatisfied. That, we repeat, is beginning at the wrong end, or, according to the adage—putting the cart be fore the horse. The last advices from the Cape, give a favour able account of their wool produce, the exports of which are now estimated at 100,0001. a year. _ Reports of an unsatisfactory character, circu lated in the morning, regarding a great house in Liverpool, received the most implicit contradic tion previous to the close of business.

Mr. LEGGE proposed Mr. Thomas George Williams to succeed him, a gentleman who had formerly repre sented the ward several years. Mr. Lucx seconded the nomination. Mr. HENMAN stated that Mr. Williams, being a Rev. Divine and the pastor of a chapel, he thought it rather inconsistent that the Rev. Gentleman should seek a secu lar office of this description, unless to become the chap lain and instructor of his colleagues in religious matters. Besides, he doubted the legal qualification of the Rev. Candidate to represent them. Mr. WILLIAMS stated that he had been 18 years in the ward, and there was nothing against his moral character. He was out of business, had erected at his own expense schools for infant children, and devoted his time and money to them.—(Hear.) Mr. LEGGE—The question is, has Mr. Williams a suf ficient residence in the ward? This question being replied to in the affirmative, Mr. Williams was declared duly elected, as were the five old members—Mr. Deputy Muddell, Mr. Croucher, Mr. Lott, Mr. Joyce, and Mr. Jolliffe. A long discussion then arose about the salary of the ward beadle, which had been considerably reduced by City reforms. Mr. Beton, an old and respected -inha bitant of the ward, had quitted his trade to become the beadle, and it appeared to the wardmote hard, that, in his declining years, his salary should be so reduced as to afford him a bare subsistence. A gratuity of 30/. was ultimately awarded to him. THE DELAY IN MAKING NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. LOTT brought under the notice of the wardmote the state of Watling-street, a great portion of which was situated in their locality. This great and import ant thoroughfare, amidst all the improvements of the City of London, had been wholly neglected. He stated to the meeting, that, notwithstanding the want of uni formity and regularity of design in the original building of the metropolis, and in the reconstruction, after the Fire, of that part of it more immediately within the City walls, yet two streets appeared always to have in tersected it, like main arteries, from east to west (with some deviations) in parallel lines. The more northern of those intersections enters the metropolis from the Oxford-road, at Tyburn—pursuing its way through Oxford-street, which it was intended to continue by a new line into Holborn, instead of by the present devia tion of Broad-street. The proposed viaduct or terrace on the left of Holborn-hill, which would form a great im provement there, destroying Saffron-hill, Field-lane, and other objectionable neighbourhoods—would continue the line to Newgate• street. A considerable portion of that was already widened ; and when the whole improvement h ere was comp l ete, i t would b e a spacious street. This intersection was then continued through Cheapside, Cornhill, Aldgate. and Whitechapel, finally quitting the metropolis at Alile-end, the high-road to Chelmsford, Colchester, Norwich, &c. When all the projected improvements here were complete, this inter section would be a perfect and noble line of communica tion. The more southern of these intersections enters the metropolis at Hyde Park-corner, and, wendi ng its way through the noble s t ree t Piccadilly, in a direct and unbroken course, was checked by the narrow avenues into Leicester-square, from whence a line might easily be formed into the Strand, but to which the spacious thoroughfare of the Haymarket already forms an excel lent communication. The judicious improvements in the Strand, by the removal of Exeter 'Change and other obstructions, and in Fleet-street, by the setting back St. Dunstan's Church, renders this, with the wide street of Ludgate, a spacious and convenient thoroughfare round St. Paul's Churchyard, until you arrive at Wat ling-street, where the hand of improvement has suddenly stopped in its career. Although this important southern intersection continued its course through Watling-street, Cannon -street, Eastcheap, and Tower street, as a transit to these important pub lic commercial buildings, the Tower, the Docks, the Trinity-house, the Mint, &c. &c., the transit was so narrow that this important thoroughfare was choaked up with vehicles of all descriptions; inconvenience, delay, and constant accident to life and limb, were the inevita ble consequence of a roadway of insufficient width for the immense traffic upon it. The attention of the Corpora tion had, however, been directed, under the advice of Mr. Jones, the indefatigable Chairman of the London-bridge Committee, to widening a few of the back streets be tween the Bank and the Post-office, viz. , Cateaton street, Lad-lane, &c. Mr. Low stated the unimportance of such alterations, in comparison with the great improvement he had pointed out, must be apparent to all. Those streets led to no place of importance, while the other was a main line of communication from one end of the metropolis to the other. Mr. Jones having got a deputation appointed to obtain an interview with the Government as to further alterations in Queen-street and other places, and nut having named Watling-street, it became necessary now to draw attention to these matters, or the improvement would never be accomplished. Mr. JACKSON bore testimony to the great necessity which existed for the improvement suggested, and moved the following resolution:—" That this wardmote is of opinion that Watlino• ti -street:is one of th e mos t i mportant thoroughfares for traffic within this City, and requires to be widened, not only to prevent the dangerous accidents to life and limb, which are of constant occurrence, but to afford a proper and adequate thoroughfare for such traffic. That this wardmote regrets this obvious improve ment has been hitherto neglected by the Corporation, while others of minor importance have been, at a great outlay, accomplished. This wardmote, therefore, instructs its representatives to make strenuous efforts to accomplish this great improvement. Mr. BUTLER seconded it, and stated that having been happily instrumental in saving the life of a gentleman in Watling-street a few days since, he bore ample testimony to the necessity for an alteration. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. TAYLOR hoped their Menibers would attend to sup port the measure in the Court. A vote or thanks was carried to the Alderman (Thos. Wood), which he acknowledged as being peculiarly grateful to his feelings, in consequence of some false and slanderous hand-bills, reflecting on his character having been sent round the ward the day before. The Wardmote was then dissolved. ALDGATE WARD. _ _ The Wardmote, held on Tuesday, for the election of Common Councilmen, and adjourned, was resumed at twelve o'clock yesterday, when pol"ng again commenced At half-past one-o'clock, Mr. E. Robinson, one of the new candidates, being the lowest on the list, resigned the contest. The following gentlemen were then declared elected : Mr. W. Green (Deputy). Mr. W. Simpson. M. J. Lake. Mr. R. B. Whiteside. Mr. E. Fisher. Mr. T. F. Salter. Mr. B. Massey. Mr. J. Jerram, new member The several other officers of the Ward having been elected, and the Inquest men sworn in, thanks were voted to the Chairman (Mr. Alderman Humphery) and the Wardmote was dissolved. NTENDED VISIT OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA TO THIS COUNTRY. PonTsmouTn, WEDNESDAY.—There is now no doubt hat it is the intention of his Majesty the Wig or Prus sia to attend in person at the christer"ng of the infant Prince of Wales, and that a squadron of ships of war will be dispatched from this country to convey him and his retinue to England. The vessel which is specially destined for the conveyance of his Majesty is understood to be her Majesty's ship Warspite, 50, Capt. Lord John rrivsicuechfoar st? v - h le ic a h s p sh la e inl s 3• t a Hay, C. 8., and there is no question that this is corset, for she is perfectly ready for sea, and was to have gone ' out of harbour last Monday, but she has been detained, indicate c i a s t e n t o i l i‘ e • fit o ted f th u e p se i in tended.

As the Warspite has only the • d e corations and internal fittings-up to complete, being otherwise perfectly equipped, she w ill b e ready to proceed on her mission in a few days. It is not at present known what vessels will accompany the Warspite, but it is supposed that t he Thalia, 42, Capt. C. H ope. and theVoliire,26, Capt. Sir W. Dick son, Bart., both of which ships arc daily expected here, will be appointed to this service. This is not impro bable, as they are both in a sufficient state of forward ness to undertake this d u ty, which will scarcely cause them any d elay in proce eding to the destination for which they were originally intended. ..
