The success which has attended this Institution, arising from its extended connexion, and the safe and liberal principles on which it is founded, have fully equalled, if not surpassed, that of any similar est ablishment. The Capital of the Company, subscribed by a numerous and wealthy body of Proprietors, affords ample security for all its engagements, while a rapidly-increasing Premium Fund lends additional stability to the Company, and gives an earnest of con tinued prosperity. The Company transacts business in every department of Life and Fire Assurance, in Annuities, Reversions, and Loans. 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 profits 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, without 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 5001. only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of IQOI., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : Age 20, without profits Z 1 13 0 with profits £1 18 0 30 40 . ........... 214 3 50 For short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and for any ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary. Insurances on Lives and Joint Survivorships may likewise be effected on the most eligible terms. The strictest confidence may be depended on in all pecuniary transactions with the Office. Every accommodation will be afforded to Insurers in cases of unavoi4able delay in the payment of Premiums. A Committee of Directors, attended by a medical officer, sit at the Company's House at London Bridge every Tuesday, from Twelve to Two o'Clock, and at the Western Branch every. Friday, from Two to Three o'Clock, to grant Assurances ; but one Director is daily in attendance at each Office, to render every facility to those to whom de ENT. spatch may be an object. The Company insure Houses, Furniture, Stock in Trade, Farming Stock, and every description of Personal Property, ° a . a inst loss or damage by Fire. No extra charge is made at this Office for the Transfer of Po licies, arid the terms of rating are peculiarly favourable to par ties insuring. The Premiums for insuring common and extraordinary risks are on the same scale as the other Fire Offices, viz. :—ls. 6d., 2s. 6d., and 4s. 6d. per cent. Ir suranees may be effected for any period of time ; if for SEVEN years, the Premium and Dutyil will only be charged for SIX. W. T. FA WCETT, Secretary. RUPTURES.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver tisement will only allow of being published : The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this 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, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming befor 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 perusal 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, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory.

MEMOIR of MADAME LAFFRAGE The following is a summary of Madame Laffarge's Life, now in the course of publication in Paris in three volumes octavo : Marie Cappello was born in 1816, at the chateau of Villers-hellon, in Picardy, belonging to her mother's father, M. Collard, ex-contractor to the Republican ar mies, and the intimate friend of M. de Talleyrand. Her grandmother (the adopted daughter of Madame de Gen iis, and said to be descended from one Colonel Compton, an Englishman), was brought up with the Orleans fa mily; and, speaking irfildt: memoirs of her grandmother's origin, Madame Latfarge ii4ds that this story was related to her only with mysterious reserve, which would appear to confirm the accf6elffed report of the prisoner of Tulle having Royal blood in her veins. The eldest of M. Collard's three daughters was the mother of Madame Laffargo, and was married in 1815 to M. Cappelle, a Captain in the, Artillmy; Or second was united to M. C. 14ron de Martens, "0 4•1;-fini.shed Prussian diploma ' fist, and the youngest to M. Garat, Governor of the Bank of France. The first part of Marie Cappelle's life passed away, half amidst the noisy gaieties of Strasbourg, where she spent the winter, and where her father was garrisoned, and half amongst the rustic festivities of Vil lers-hellon, whither she repaired every spring. She de picts the visitors at her father's house with great anima tion ; these, for the most part, appertained to the high classes of society. She says of M. de Talleyrand, who often came to her grandfather's, that he " limped with art and wit." She relates the promenades at Villers-hellon of the Orleans family, stories of Mdlle. Mars, to whose house her godfather, Colonel de Brack, used to take her; of the climbing morning parties given by General on the rich mamelons of the Vosges ; of the elect com pany of Strasbourg ; the country neighbours ; the Mon tesquiou family ; the Princess of Eckmuhl ; Madame de Cambaceres ; the beautiful Chatelaine of Montgobert ; the Montbreton family ; the de Valence ; the phalanx of Paris dandies swarming to the shooting and gipsying parties at Corey, or at Villers-hellon. In a word, all the masculine and feminine celebrities of the French aristo cracy are analysed and dissected by Mdme. Laffarge, who renders their portraiture with a fidelity most des pairing to the subject. Marie Cappelle's first trouble was the loss of her fa ther, in consequence of the wound inflicted by the bursting of a fowling-piece in his hand. Her mother, who was young, married again ; she thus describes the wedding-day :—" The day of the ceremony was dull ; we were compelled to assist at it without allowing a tear to flow from our hearts to our eye-lids, and to leave off our mourning, although we became orphans in a two-fold sense ; we were ob liged to smile at the consecration of this oblivion ; to smile in abdicating a portion of our mother's heart to the rule of a stranger. M. de Coehorn was a Pro testant ; the religious rites were performed in the drawing-room ; the work-table became an altar ; a gentleman in black read us a cold sermon, and next gave a simple blessing. Shall I confess it ; I was pleased the ceremony was so meagre, that my dear little church of Villers-hellon had not been decked out —that the wax flambeaux of the altar were not lighted, that the censors were left without incense. I was pleased that the Grand Cross, the Virgin, the Ta bernacle had not been dispoiled of their trappings to bless the oblivion of my father." In order to tame her ardent disposition she was sent to the Maison Royale de St. Denis ; but by the lapse of some months she had fretted herself to sickness, and she was set at liberty. The pleasures and rejoicings at Paris succeeded the austere life of St. Denis ; she fre quented the balls at the Tuileries and at the Palais Royal. In 1832 she lost her mother, and her grandfather followed not long after ; she was thus in the midst of the world without a guide, without a prop, having but a slender fortune, and possessing the superficial affections of her family, judging by the manner in which she was cast into the arms of a man unknown to her. The, part of the memoirs in which Madame Laffarge describes the period when she was considered mar riageable is extremely interesting, and here began her connections with Mademoiselle de Nicolai, actually Madame de Leotaud. The history of the theft of the diamonds is related with minuteness as to the hour, the spot, the accom plishment of the robbery. Her story is, the same as she told at her trial. Marie Cappelle leaves Busaguy for Corey, a country seat belonging to Mdme. de Montbreton, who had con ceived a lively affection for the young orphan. In the midst of a round of pleasure, and whilst playing her part in a comedy got up for the amusement of the visitors, she is called away to Paris by her aunt, Mdme. Garat, to face a twelfth or a thirteenth suitor, M. Laffarge, a man recommended by an office-keeper, M. de Foy, whose employment is making up marriages for a certain remu neration, based upon the property of the contracting indi viduals. M. Laffarge was not prepossessing ; he was unknown,--his character, his habits, his tastes, his fa mily,—but he gave himself out as worth 35,000 E (1,4000 per annum ; that Miss Cappelle's dowry, by allow ing him to increase his business, would in a year in crease it to 50,000 f. (2,0000 per annum. He was pro vided with pompous letters and friendly recommenda tions ; a Parisian artist -had drawn up for him a superb painting of a castle, with terraces, waterfalls, and draw bridges, and he had not beheld his future wife a minute, ere he declared himself deeply in love with her, "smit ten with an eternal lore." In his rusticity he was mild and obsequious, and the young girl was allured by the 50,000 francs revenue. The marriage was solemnised, and within three days the youthful female and her dowry were in the power of a man whose morality and character were more than doubtful; who was overwhelmed with debts, and who sought a wife to save him from a bankruptcy which was declared three months subsequently. The ceremony was scarcely at an end before a post chaise received the couple, and bore off Marie Cappelle to unknown regions. Her description of the first tete-a-tete is charming, but we cannot give it here entire; the fol lowing are a few extracts : After describing the prospect around her, and the in cidents on the road, at some length, she continues, " Amidst all these beauties I looked about me, and cast my eyes on Laffarge; he was asleep. I began to reflect." " A jolt awoke M. Laffarge, who extended his arms and mouth with a sonorous and lengthened gape ; he kissed me on both cheeks and said, Now my little dear, we'll breakfast.' M. Laffarge seized a cold fowl, which was in the coach, by the wings, and divided it, offering me the half, which I refused with a degree of disgust that made him suppose me ill. He became uneasy, anxious, kindly attentive, begged me to take at least a glass of Bordeaux, but on my refusal, drank off the entire bottle to himself, saying —for thee and me, who are one. As the odour of the repast was unsupportable, I got on the box, exchanging places with my maid Clementine ,• towards noon I re-entered the carriage, and attempted to con verse on literature, on theatricals, of Villers-hellon and the fine forest, which latter part of the conversation ap peared to interest M. Laffarge ,• but my ignorance of the prices of wood and of charcoal reduced him to silence. He took from his pocket a portfolio, and buried himself in calculations which appeared to occupy his mind dis agreeably." Madame Laffarge, who had dreamt of Romeo and Juliet's affectionate scenes, was destined to be deceived on every point. At Orleans the deception was more tan gible. It was here that the scene of the bath took place, which was adduced on the trial, and Marie Cappelle re lates it in detail. The husband shakes the door, and when his yet virgin wife begs him to wait as she is un dressed, he brutally replies "it is because you are un dressed that I will come in; do you take me for a nin compoop ? Do you think I am going to be made game of by a young wench of a Parisian?" and when the young girl, offended at this indelicacy, resisted energetically, and he went away, it was in saying " this may do for once, but let me get you to the Glandier, I'll soon bring you to your senses. Her arrival at the Glandier dispelled the magnificent illusions of Madame Laffarge. The fine castle, so beau tiful upon paper, was but an old tumble-down house, open to the winds and to the rain ; the young stranger brought up to the refinements of Parisian life, arrived there at night by frightful roads, through pelting rain, fatigued by the length of the journey, horror-struck at the thought of the future prospects that awaited her, of the menacing night then approaching, and which would surrender her to the brutal caresses of her rustic spouse. Under these impressions she obtained leave to retire to her chamber, where she wrote the famous letter in which, in order to obtain the more easily permission to quit immediately the sad and solitary dwelling whither a culpable deceit had led her, she accuses herself of ima ginary crimes. This letter, which bears the stamp of the delirium of terrified imagination, was the foundation of the accusation: The scene which follows is disgusting. Madame Laf farge has unwittingly produced the famous scene he tween Rebecca and Brian de Bois Guilbert in Ivanhoe. Like the ferocious Templar, the Limousin blacksmith retires before the intrepidity and resolution of Marie Cappelle. The MS. in our hands leaves us here. The sequel has not yet arrived from Tulle; it comprises the whole pro ceedings at the. Glandier, after th e secon d j ourney to Paris of M. Laffarge. Whatever the judgment pronounced upon Madame Laffarge, must recognise in he r th e qua li t i es neces sary to a great writer . If this woman is innocent, w h a t a fate is her's! If guilty, what an infernal organisition? FETES AT BOULOGNE. THE COLUMN AND STATUE OF NAPOLEON. • FRIDAY, AUG. 13.—This being the first day of the fetes in honour of the inauguration of the statue of Na poleon, the ships in the harbour were, early in the morn ing, gaily dressed out in their various national colours, that of France, the tri-colour, of course generally pre ponderating. The various public buildings, crowned by the ancient turretted belfry in the high tower, also ex hibited tri-coloured flags of goodly dimensions ; whilst throughout the town and along the cliffs, from almost every house, smaller flags of the same colour, projecting from the windows, or upreared on the gable-ends of the roofs, danced in the breeze. The effect, particularly from the sea, was gay and striking in the extreme. The town is already very full, nearly as full as it can comfortably hold, and yet the boats keep coming in from London, and Dover, and Ramsgate, with heay . y and still increasing loads. The military alone in the town and neighbourhood is estimated at from three to five or six thousand troops. The " solemnities" began with that very national sport, horsemanship. THE RACES (FIRST DAY.) The course is situated near the sea., about six miles on the Calais side. On the way you pass the column of Napoleon, and, not far from it, another memorable mo nument " to fallen greatness" on the spot where, in 1785, Pilatre de Rosier and his brother " intrepidaeronauts" fell from a height of some 5,000 feet. The course, which was very well attended, was kept by a detachment of the 18th regiment of the line. The races began with a Hurdle Race, 100 francs each, 500 f. given by the town. Heats, one mile and a half. The winner to be sold fbr 9 000 f if demanded. Mr. Simons' Trim, aged Mr. Burton's Dangerous (late Meteor) dr First heat : Trim went off with the lead at a mode rate pace, cleared the first fence in gallant style, and was landed on the other side without any accident, to the astonishment of all the French ladies. The pace then . became ire moderate Audit the - neitittreidie - , - when the jockey put his horse into a canter. Nothing was near him and he had it all his own way, for the simple reason that no other horse started. This, I believe, is what the regular chroniclers of the turf call—" a walk over." Second heat ; ditto repeated. The pace rather more moderate throughout. Maiden Plate of 500 f. for French three-yrs-old colts and fillies. Mr. Burton's Miss Exile, by Exile, —Sweet Moggy- Another 'walk over. Plate of 2,000 f., given by the Minister of Commerce, 100 f. each. Count d'lredonville's Astonishment, 3 yrs 1 Mr. Quick's Black Bess, by Cadland 2 Mr. Santerre's Maid, by Felix The two went away at the first starting at a slashing canter, and kept nose and nose for about half-way the first round. Black Bess now began to find the pace in convenient, and dropped a little astern. On passing the post the first time the distance between them had in.. creased to about three lengths, the pace was becoming more and more moderate, speed being evidently unne cessary. Eventually, as people had long expected, As tonishment came in an undoubted winner by several lengths, Black Bess saving her distance cleverly in a long trot. Sweepstakes of 200 f. each. One mile and a half. Winner to be sold for 3,000 f. if demanded. Count d'Hedonville's Astonishment 1 Count de Schlokotch's Father Time, Shrewsbury Clock 2 M. Santerre's Ophelia, by Shakspeare dr Mr. Bushell's Festival This was another dead thing, Astonishment having it again all his own way ; Father Time making a waiting race of it, in hopes of catching him tripping. In short, it was another walk over ; heightened in interest by the ingenious regulation requiring the distance to be per formed within a certain time—five minutes and fifty se conds, as we heard. Nothing very fearful in that ; and Astonishment was again a clever winner. So . ended the day's sport. The :next days fixed for the same amusement are Tuesday and Thursday next. To add to the gaiety and excitement of the town, this happens to be fair time. One of the shows pretends to give a representation of the fluidal procession of Na poleon at St. Helena, done with card or pasteboard fi gures about a foot high high, and very cleverly done, too, for the price, only two sous a head. SATURDAY, AUG. 14.—A1l was bustle and preparation. The streets festooned with. ropes of foliage and flowers— tri-coloured flags, and other insignia appropriate to the occasion. The only public event was the distribution of prizes to the students in the college,. SUNDAY . MORNING, EIGHT O'CLOCK.—The guns com menced firing salutes at day-break from all the forts in the harbour, in honour of the day; the like was also done at sunset last evening. The weather, which has been a little threatening, is now clearing up, and every thing promises a grand and imposing day. The Statue, the inauguration of which forms the all engrossing subject of men's' thoughts and conversation throughout all France at the present moment, is from the design of M. Rosio, and was cut in 1840 by M. H. Denis. The Government has paid 60,000 francs for it ; there is said to be unevenness in the bronze, but it is considered a fine work of art, and of very surprising ap pearance. It is habited in the imperial costume : the head wreathed with a circle of laurel ; the right hand supports a sceptre, on which is surmounted the eagle ; whilst the left holds the star of the Legion of Honour. The story about the " right arm being stretched towards the sea in the attitude of domination," is therefore apo cryphal. The column on which it is erected, was adopted from the model of M. Labarre, the architect of the Bourse in Paris, and M. Moilte designed the three bas reliefs with which the pedestal was to be embellished. The discovery of the box, which was inserted within the midst of the stone staircase of the column at its com mencement, containing crystal portraits of members of the Royal' Family, and several coins of the reign of Louis XVIII., with a bronze tablet and proces verbal of the whole proceeding, will strangely puzzle an anti quary of some ages hence. The statue is at this mo ment lying on its back on a platform, a little above the base of the column, and it is said it will be got t 3 its position to-day (Monday), by the assistance of a cele brated engineer, who has arrived from Paris for that purpose. The King has been, and is still expected to honour the clay with his presence. Nothing certain, however, will be known on this score until the moment arrives.

The prelates hesitated to interfere to check those ex cesses, being in doubt as to the wishes and intentions of the Holy Father, :so that the fault of what occurred must be justly attributed to the unworthy conduct of the ecclesiastics, and the silence of their superior pastors. These considerations, so just and of such serious conse quence, which can never be qualified but as irreligious and revolutionary, never had any influence on the mind of his Holiness. He produced his complaint, showing great concern at the prompt and continued executions to which the ecclesiaStics were condemned, as when taken with arms in their hands they' merited no other consi deration than any other rebels. Time was thus lost in useless negotiations, without a step being made in advance in this question. Different churches of the kingdom being without Bishops, the Government lost not a mo ment in providing for their wants, and presented to his Holiness wise and virtuous ecclesiastics, which it consi dered worthy of filling the vacant situations. The cus tom in those cases is not to defer the confirmation of either the nominations or the expedition of the bulls, in order that the flock of Christ should not remain for to.) long,a time deprived of their spiritual pastor ; instead of proceeding thus, the Holy See obstinately refused to fulfil this imperious duty, sometimes by the aid of theo logical subtleties, at others from interested views dis guised under the cloak of a benevolent concession. The first difficulty arose as to the formula of presentation, without prejudicing.the question of the dynasty, which had been left to be decided by the fate of arms in the Peninsula. In vain did the Government, faithful to the system of condescension which it had adopted, propose different formula in which, by the omission of the name of the priest, the difficulties were removed and the tem poral interests of the "Holy Father secured. The Court of Rome rejected all these proposals, first on one pre tence and then on another. At length it proposed a means which appeared to it the best adapted to the cir cumstances of the case. It consented to omit in the bulls all presentation, saying that the Holy Father granted this as a voluntary act of apostolic faith, finally declaring that his Holiness would make a separate official declara tion on the subject. The trap was skilfully laid, but not sufficiently so for the Government to fall into it. In vir tue of the most respectable titles established by canonical law—titles recognised in the most solemn manner by the Sovereign Pontiffs at all periods—her Majesty found her self incontestibly invested with the . Church patronage of her kingdom, and it would be impolitic and dishonourable for the Government of Isabella to give its consent to the positive and public violation of this right. Why, there fore, propose to guarantee it by a separate declaration, which would have the air of being a concession ? It was to avoid difficulties that the Spanish Govern ment has, gone to the very limit of forbearance consistent with its duty ; it can go no further without showing itself wanting in dignity, respect for the rights of the nation, and the prerogative of the Crown. It had come to the resolution to receive no more bulls of confirmation for any Bishop, unless there was an express mention made therein recognising the right of patronage of the Crown. The consequence of a continued interruption of friendly relations of a Catholic kingdom with the S overe i gn Pontiff might be disastrous ; but the responsibility would rest on those who had heaped difficulty on difficulty, and refused even to come to an equitable adjustment of the subject in dispute. We have claimed at a proper time the exercise 'of our legitimate rights, and have carried our deference for religion and the tranquillity of the State to its utmost extent in observance of the laws of the Monarchy and the venerable discipline of the Church. There remained nothing to be done on the part of the Government of her Majesty, and a frank answer to this effect was given to the Court of Rome. The Nuncio received his passports, and all negotiation was at an end. As it was the Sovereign Pontiff who refused, as a Prince, to recognise her Majesty as the legitimate heiress of the Throne of her ancestors, and also refused, in his quality of spiritual Eatliet of the gs,ithful, to supply PRICE 5d the wants of the Church in Spain, and, not content with this prolonged resistance, raised his voice in fhe Consisl tory to attack the supreme authority of the pate, annul its acts, and as ser t hi s super i or i ty over on. eo does not even acknowledge him as an equal, it is h 441 f who has set up a wall of separatiiM between the twd'urts, and closed the door to all fOandly relations and eye,ry species. of compromise. The — .vielent allocution ofr she Holy Father can only be legarded as a declaratiln of war against Queen Isabelka 11., against the stfety of the State, and against tlio ponstitution. It is tidy a mani festo in favour of the conquered and expelled: Pretender; it is a scandalous excitement to schism, discot d l .disorder, and revolt. The Government of her Majek.f3- cannot, without a breach of loyalty and honour, be 4ilent under this enormous attempt. It cannot refrain &din employ ing for its repression all the just means placed in its hands by reason, propriety, the discipline of the Church, and the power of a great and noble nation so shamefully insulted.

LISBON, Atm. 9.—After four days' debate the " Capitalisation " proposed by the finance commission was negatived on Thursday last, at the Chamber' of Deputies, by 65 votes to 16. An amendment to it moved by M. Gomes de Castro, was next discussed,, and ulti mately referred to the Select Committee of Finance for consideration. This amendment is virtually to the same effect as the original plan, since its object is to authorise the Government to pay off the arrears to the public .employes by ati.issueotbar-or notes, - -:bearhvg-interst at the rate of 5 pe r cent. per annum until redeemdd, the notes not to be legal tenders, and their payment to be guaranteed by the 3,000 contos worth of national do mains, which, as M. Gomesde Castro states, are yet un sold. As all the objections made to the capitalisation scheme apply with equal force to the proposed substitu tion, it seems to follow of course that the latter will in like manner be thrown out. The rejection of the former by the Government is stated to be grounded, not only on a sense of justice towards the parties whose interests would be affeeted by the measure, but likewise on a feel ing of confidence that, by means of the other plans, both as regards the reduction of expenses and the augmenta tion of the resources, proposed by the extra-Parliamen tary commission, the required equilibrium between the revenue and the expenditure will at no distant period be obtained. • The Marquis of Saldanha is to be sent as Envoy to Vienna, and has already received a sum of six contos for his outfit. The Spanish Government, it appears, feels very uneasy at the evidently retrograde tendency of that of Portugal, and particularly at the recent reconciliation of the latter with the Court of Rome. The fear entertained is, that the Portuguese Government, flattered by the recognition of the Pope, and the Great Powers, will lend itself to be an instrument in their hands for the subversion of liberal institutions in Spain, by means of intrigues carried on from the Portuguese territory. The circumstances that Count Flahaut, the new French Ambassador at Madrid, is half-brother to Count Villa Real, the Portuguese Minis ter of War, seems to afford just grounds for these fears. Explanations on these subjects have already been de manded by the Spanish Government, and, as I learn, the most positive assurances have been given that no design hostile to the present order of things in Spain is or has been entertained here. The Algarve guerillas, though reduced in numbers, have lately begun to be very troublesome, and have committed great depredations in different parts of that province. On two or three occasions they have been fallen in with by detachments of the regular troops, and of course have been worsted ; but in general, owing to the suppression of the National Guards, as well as of the Militia battalions by which the last Ministry at tempted to substitute that force, and to the removal of the greater part of the regular troops from the province, they have been enabled to carry on their marauding ex cursions with scarcely any opposition. The Minister of the Interior, in announcing the fact to the Cortes some days ago, took occasion to hint at the expediency of re storing the recently disbanded militia corps ; a measure which it is thence inferred the Government have in con templation, as soon as a fitting opportunity arrives for making the experiment of proposing it. The Marchioness of Fayal (the Duke of Palmella's daughter-in-law) was delivered of a daughter on the 3d instant. The Marchioness is probably the youngest mo ther in Lisbon, having only just completed her 14th year. This event puts an extinguisher at once upon the last re maining hopes of her uncles, the Sampaios, the contest between whom and the Palmella-family for the t ustudy of the rich young heiress made such a noise in Lisbon a couple of years ago. , The British schooner Euphemia, of Youghal, with coals from Newcastle to Lisbon, was wrecked ou the 31st ult., near Peniche ; crew and cargo saved.

BRUSSELS, Auc. 14.—The Organe des Flanders has the following observations :—" The subject of the har vest is at the present moment of too great importance not to claim all our attention. From the information we have received, we find that .the Rye has been well got in (with a few exceptions) in all the sandy districts, which constitute the half of our great provinces. In those dis tricts, where the soil is stiff and clayey-, the harvest is not so far advanced. We also learn from our correspon dents that all the barns of the great farmers are fortu nately full of corn of last years' crop, which has been scarcely touched." The King and Queen, the Duke of Brabant, the Count of Flanders, and the Princess Leopoldore, set out for Ostend by the iron railway, a little after one o'clock to-day, with a numerous suite, in nine carriages. Yesterday the King and Queen visited the national exhibition. They arrived at eleven, o'clock. They were preceded by the Ministers, and were received on alight ing from their carriage by the members of the Directing Committee, who conducted their Majesties through the fifteen departments, in each of which the Commission who superintended the whole pointed out the most re markable articles, and presented the exhibitors to the King. Between 400 and 500 manufacturers were pre sent, whom the King addressed with great affability, listening to all the observations which they desired to make to him, and which he even invited, proving by the questions he asked the interest he takes in every branch of our national manufactures. Ms Majesty repeatedly expressed his admiration at the great progress that our manufactures has made within these few years. Many manufacturers presented petitions and memorials, which his Majesty received with kindness. FRANK PROTECTION in TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 21.—A circumstance, trifling in itself, but productive of considerable sensation amongst the diplomatic corps, has occurred within the last fort night. The facts, which appear to involve a serious question, as regards the right assumed by France to the exclusive protectorate of Christian establishments in the Ottoman Empire, are nearly as follow : A benevolent society, composed of Frank merchants and' master tradesmen of all countries, supported by vo luntary contributions, collected here and in various Eu ropean cities, and aided by a most liberal donation from the Sultan himself, has been formed at Para. This so ciety has met with so much success that it has been en abled to purchase some little property, and to erect thereon an hospital and house of refuge for sick and des titute Franks. The operations of the institution are regulated by sta tutes, and the innuediate administration is confided to a committee, whoz. , decisions are, however, subject to revi sion, and reversion in the event of a general meeting being con v in e n o m e d b , e a r n s d . a N p o r i o v t , e i s t t t a o p p thatht s effect being tho s o s i e n t ed y considering, r e t r Y i n and considering justly, that it had attained a sufficient degree of importance and extension not only to be worthy of collective ambassadorial protection, but that it would derive additional weight and security from such protection, determined to call a meeting for the purpose of deciding upon the best mode of obtaining this general patronage. Upon this the Committee, principally composed at the moment of French subjects, and stimulated, as it is affirmed, by the Lazarist missionaries, took upon itself, without consulting other members, to frame and present an address to the French Ambassador, soliciting his exclusive protection. This request soon received a fa vourable and obliging reply, setting forth his Excel lency's satisfaction at being enabled to contribute to a purpose so essentially benevolent, and so perfectly ac cordant with those ancient stipulations by which France had been invested in the sole right of protecting all the Christian establishments in the East. No sooner, however, did the members of the institu tion hear of this tea of their Committee, and of Monsieur de Pontois's reply, than they loudly condemned the for mer, and forthwith convened a general meeting, g, at f which re so l u ti ons were passed. i their unqualified disapprobation of the Committee having taken upon themselves to convert into a case of individual and exclusive patronage that which the heterogeneous composition and consequent in terests of the society required to be general and collective. 2. Declaring that the proceedings of the Com mittee should be reversed, the Committee displaced, and that an application s hould be made to the wholedtiphleoi-r diplo matic corps, praying them t o become the collective, as fellow-subjects,w , ell asinvidu a e l spec pat fa o i n ly s of th oassooocifeAtyotostrlvith, m which all ere contri butors to a greater or lesser amount. 3. It was resolved that a letter should be addressed to M. de Pontois, en closing copies of the statutes, and resolutions founded thereon; at the same time, not only disclaiming all inten tion of giving the slightest offence to his Excellency, but earnestly requesting him to accord to the Society that protection, as a Member of the Collective Diplomatic Corps, w hich he had so obligin g ly prom i se d i n hi s indi vidual position, as representative of France. To this document, which doubtless caused some sur prise to M. de Pontois, his Excellency returned an im mediate reply, stating that he considered the application of the Committee as perfectly legal; that he looked upon that Committee as fully empowered to act as it had done, and that be could not consent to withdraw or alter the and Francis Lin 1525 ; renewed in 1673 t XIV., and again guaranteed in 1796 to the Dir l which France was recognized by the Porte as " tectress of Christianisni in the East." . M. de Pontois's reply was far, however, frox ing the society, fifty of whose members, th than half had signed the protest. They c, ; persisted in their determination_ elected a new - and at a general meeting took measures to • copy of their proceedings individually and c to the whole corps diplomatique, From, the I rating number of Austrian subjects connected Al institution, Baron Sturmer's attention was the. pointedly called to the subject, and it is reported i., meeting of diplomatists was held at the Austrian Pd at Buyukdere, when it was resolved that. without terinm into the fond de la question, each mem should assure the subjects of his respective SoN reign of his direct protection, and protest against tl, right of any Power to interfere with, or to attempt t assume to itself the right of ancording protec tion to any but the subjects of its own country, assuring the society, at the same time, that the collective body would be eager to offer its protection in any way thrit might be useful to the general interest of the institution_ Baron Stunner, so at least it is reported, went still fur ther, acting with. the vigour that became the represen tative of a great nation. lie declared that he would not recognise the right of Austrian subjects to apply for the protection of any other Sovereign, and that if any of these subjects should demand such protection, they must. consider themselves as having forfeited all claim to the protection of their own Government. It is understood to be the determination of Lord Ponsonby to act in a simi lar manner, and the rest of the foreign Envoys have also expressed their disapprobation of their countrymen ap plying for protection to any other Power than the repre sentative of their own Sovereign. Thus matters rest for the present. The most unplea sant feature of this affair is to see France again placed_ in an isolated position. This individuality was not cer tainly of her own seeking. It resulted from the indis cretion of those who, in taking a step totally opposed to the wishes and interests of the society, were not aware, perhaps, of the unpopularity and impolicy of seeking to place an institution of this general character under the exclusive patronage of any single Power—especially of a Power which, although it may claim rights of pratectioa over spiritual establishments in virtue of ancient, but ex parte conventions, can have no more title to extend this supremacy to temporal institutions, than it _has to claim. the power of granting passports to the subjects of other nations. It must be observed at the same time that M. de Pon tois was placed in a position of no ordinary delicacy, and that it was difficult for him, consistently with his own dignity or that of France, to recede. Be this as it may, it is certain that M. de Pontois, whose amenity and kindness are universally acknowledged, will be the first to regret, if this misunderstanding . should terminate in the dissolution of the society or in the diminution of funds destined to objects so essentially philanthropic. WEST INDIES. Her Majesty's packet Pandora, Lieutenant Morgan, acting commander, arrived at Falmouth on Saturday evening. Her sailing dates are stated to bo---from Bar badoes, June 28 ; St. Lucie and Martinique, 29 ; Domi nique and Guadeloupe, 30 ; Antigua and Mouser rat, July 1 ; Nevis and St. Kitt's, 2 ; Tortola, 3 ; -and arrived at St. Thomas's the same day. The island ma. ils in return were brought to St. Thomas's by the inrea. v steamer, and those from Jamaica by the Tartaru3 on July 22 ; on the following day the packet sailed .. c ur England. The next packet, the Tynan, arrived at Thomas's July 19. Passengers by the Pandora—Mr - Henry Gunter, E. A. Wallbridge, Lady, and family ;f. Captain Vernon, 33d Regiment : Mr. J. Colhoun, Mr. P. F.

Vegetation had been considerably improved by boun tiful rains at those islands, which our late advices re presented as being parched ; the effect thereof on the coming crops would be highly promising. Trade at Ja maica was dull ; but the affairs at Grenada being quieted, a gleam of hope presented itself of a resumption of com mercial pursuits, and the receipt of money, as a con sequence, from the main. By this arrival we have been favoured with the Belize Gazette to the 12th ult. Of internal matters, the papers before us contain little intelligence, but what there is ex hibits a favourable aspect. :A general rising had taken place in Bolivia, he aded by Generals Lara and Irogover, who have proc i ed General Santa Cruz Supreme Protector. " This officer (adds the Gazette) was expected at Guy aquil about the 20th ult., where he was told to hold him self in readiness to embark for Peru with a small force on the first favourable opportunity ; and as such an op portunity is now offered, he is momentarily expected in Peru. On his arrival the downfal of this degraded Go vernment is inevitable. In fact, nothing prevents its im mediate overthrow but the want of some officer of rank and influence, under whom all parties would unite." Upon this subject a Correspondent further writes:— " Col. Vivanco has been proclaimed Supreme Chief in the department of Cusco, Arequipo k Tip, and Moqiie gua ; and notwithstanding"Generallt.atT Roman, who was placed in command of the former by Vivanco, has de clared against him with about 1,000 men, yet he appears to be rapidly gaining ground, as the whole community is decidedly against the Government of Gamarra, who has degraded the country to such an extent as to place it in the class of a Chihan colony, sustained by Chilian influence, and subject to Chili= control." A new subject of dispute between the States of the republic of Central America, has sprung up, as to the choice of place where the National Convention should assemble. The State of Guatemala having sent dele gates to San Salvador, where the Convention was origi nally appointed to meet, it was found that the other States had determined to remove it to Chinandeg:a, to which the Guatemalians decidedly objected, on account of its extreme remoteness and difficulty of access ; here , the matter rests. It is added, however, as a fact no an; • worthy of observation, that Guatemala is the only Si at a that has shown any disposition to effect an adjust - mt. su of the British claims upon Central America. Uncl,n- E these circumstances, the Guatemalian delegates have ex •-• pressed their doubts of anything being effectively d 9110.' for the good of the people by a Convention, be it hold.. wherever it may. As a natural Consequence of these proceedings the as sembly of San Salvador has already formed itself inte a. new Constitution, based upon the erection of the State into a distinct republic, to be called the " Republic of San Salvador," thereby elevating itself into the rank of a sovereign nation, which example, it was expected, would be followed by the States of Nicaragua and Honduras. This arrangement, in the o pi n i on o the Guatemalian delegates, leaves it doubtful whether the general good of Central America will receive an attention unbiassed by the interests of the particular States, or that the specific objects of the convention can be impartially disclosed and carried into execution. We beg to annex the exact state of matters at Fort Augusta Of the detachment of 50 men, there were 21 n'eatbs up to the 30th ult., besides one woman and two children. Of these, 20 men died of fever, and one of consun iption ; the children of complaints in the bewels. Twat ye men are still in hospital, but only two cases continue doubt ful • the rest on guard, & c . *EST INDIA ENTERPRISE !—We regret to ob;erre fin liarbadoes, that Mr. Young, the projector of aJohlt stock Company for the culture of Victoria wheat, has :it PreSent been Obliged to give up the project from want of etietniragement. • This is indeed too bad.

The Committee of this most admirable establishment, for the gratuitous relief of the sick poor of every nation. and class without letter or other introductio n , have just . issued their published report, which states that upward s of 7,000 of their suffering fellow -creatures had been re lieved during the past year, and that the calls upon the Institution had been so great that a considerable amount was due beyond the funds at their immediate disposal, and that they apprehended that, unless the friends of th e charity generally, made a strong effort to increase its pecuniary resources, a diminution must take place in the benefits of the hospital, by limiting the rel ie f hitherto afforded, or discontinuing it altogether, a calamity they earnestly implored their friends and the public at large, to assist by a liberal and extensive contribution. The report states further, that since the hospital was opened, five years ago, the number to whom advice and medicine was supplied, amounted to 33,489 persons, that the per sons who constitute the bulk of patients, are derived from amongst the poorest classes in the Metropolis, and con siderably more than one-half are women and children, and that every thing in the establishment is conducted upon principles of the strictest economy. BODY FouND.--:This morning, about ten mi nutes to six, as a young man named Thomas Anderson was proceeding to his employment at AiiDank, he ob served the body of a female, apparently about 28 years of age, lying face downwards in the mud near the shore, close to Johnson's stone-wharf, lifillbank. She is about five feet six inches high, with sandy hair, and had on a plaid cotton gown and black apron, but neither bonnet, shawl, nor shoes. He procured assistance and had the body conveyed to the workhouse in Dean-street, West minster. On Friday morning a man employed in cleaning the drains outside the prison wall at Vilvorde, Belgium, was overpowered by the foul air, and fell in; his father and brother hastened to his succour, and met with the lik e f a te ; and a fourth man, going down after the t ri ro e m ou courageous e d e i t tt i s th a ; n b d u powerfulbut two re en a z t g e h d to ta e d :t an ric a ate a others, was suffocated.
