The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, Ale Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis putirig a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p sid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for tile first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER qIIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without haring to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 95 degrees of the equator. No Admission er Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three 'ninths after proof of the death of the assured life The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons, }proved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in connexion with this Company.

It may be fairly said, the state of the teeth depends greatly upon the state of the bodily health, and the state of the bodily health depends greatly upon the state of the teeth. The homcepathic prin ciple of infinitesimal does in all cases of weakness and new - msness is no doubt the right one, as nature is not then overpowered, but as dated. The United Dentists' Tooth Powder carries this out to its ut most extent, as some of the most strengthening articles in the Ma teria Medics are contained in it, and a sma'l portion being gradually absorbed every day, not only strenzthens the gums, but the whole system. It likewise thoroughly cleanses the teeth, gradually re moving the tartar, purifies the breath, thereby preventing infection, and corrects acidity in both mouth and stomach.

IN consequence of the great rush of Visitors to see BANVARD'S GRAND MOTING PAINTINe of the MIS SISSIPPI and MISSOURI RIVERS, at the EGYP HAN HALL, Piccadilly, the Proprietor respectfully announce, Two Exhibitions every day during the beil■ays. This Immense Painting is the Largest in the Werld, and exhibits more than 3,000 miles of Ariteri. can scenery. —The Day exhibition will commence every Afternoon, at Half-past Two, and the Evening at Half-past germ o'clock; doors open half 9,1 hear before commencing. ♦dmnission, lower seats, Ils. ; gallery, is. A K R I A G E. NI One half the word are desolately single, and the other 3upposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a ,ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em e:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution aid worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, snd broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set- Cement. Honour and Justice demand that health should form as item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern yea, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little 'SEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is.

They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but ter the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whets they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other Rile publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to b e h appy. " They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a lib rary volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribbllngs of the lour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way."

THE COUNTRY MARKETS. Livanroot, MAncrt 2.—There is a moderate inquiry for wheat. Holders show much firmness, and the full prices of Tuesday are paid. Flour is in better demand, but not dearer. Indian corn is in fair request at Tuesday's rates. In some in stances a little more money is paid. Other articles unchanged. GLASGOW, 111Ancn 2.—The trade dull, and no change in prices since Wednesday. The business doing is quit• at a moderate retail trade. WAKEFIELD, Meatcu 2.—We have ;air arrivals of most articles. The prices of last week are fully maintained for wheat, with a pretty good demand. No alterat;on in the value of barley, fine qualities are scarce and sell readily. Oats and shelling sell in retail at late prices. Beans rather higher. New. Old. WHEAT, per qr. 8 bushels 601b:— a. a. s. s.

Good fat beef was sold for 8s per score, but a very few prime articles sold for nearly, if not quite, 9s per score. Store bullocks were a complete dreg, and not worth more than 5s per score. A few working oxen were sold at tolerable prices, from 18/ to 291 lOs per pair. Cows and calves were in request, and Devons sold from 91 to 14/14s. A lot of twelve Alderney heifers were sold by auction at from 8/ 101 to 101 108 each ; butchers calves, 5d to 6d per lb. Not much above 300 sheep were driven en, some of the best small fat wethers made 6d per lb, but the general ran was wethers rid, ewes 5d ; store hogs sold at 16s to 20s, fat ditto 25s to 35s each. Pork Carcases—The supply was larger than last week, and the price a trifle less, ranging from 7s to 8s 4d per score. Pannier—The market was mode rately supplied, with no difference in the price of poultry and dairy produce. Corn Exchange—The attendance has been very small, owing partly to the farmers being busy, preparing the land for the spring corn, and partly to their reluctance to sell their wheat at present prices. Up to one o'clock scarcely anything has been done, the few parcels of warranted quality that have changed hands have sold at from 6s 3d to 6s 6d per bushel; barley, 3s 6d to 4s per bushel; oats, 2s to 2s 6d ; this latter price being only given for seed oats. Fine flour has sold at from 37s to 39s per sack of 280 lbs. WETHEREY, MARCH I.—The following are the prices of corn in our market this day :—White wheat 185.6 d to 20s 6d; ditto red:l636d to 18s 6d ; beans 12s to 16s per load ; barley 29s to 30s per qr ; oats, 9d to lld per stone. An average supply. NEWPORT CATTLx lIIRKET.—The weather on Wednes day was not propit ous to the success of this week's market ; there was rather a small supply of stock, which changed hands, however, pretty readily. There were -some excellent Devon steers offered for sale by Mr. Booth, butcher, which will grace the shambles of Mr. Robert Duckham, Mr. Channing, &c., on Satin day. There was also a fine lot of oxen in the market, the property of Mr. John Jone, of Llanarthen, though they did not attract a purchaser. I r ish horses were in plenty, and some few were sold at:pretty goodtfigures , but their condition did not excite much admiration. Beef sold at from 4d. to M. ; shipping beef, from 21. 2s. to 2L 4s. ; mutton, 6d. to 6d. ; veal, 6/ t d. to 7d. • pigs, 9s. to 9s. 6d. per score. Cows and calves sold heavily. MINING INTELLIGENCE.

[ADVERTISBMENT.]—DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE VISION.—TIIE EYES.-39, Albemarle -street, Piccadilly. —Optical improvements to enable persons at an ad vanced age to read with ease and to discriminate objects with perfect distinctness. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, have invented Spectacle Lenses, of the greatest transparent power. The valuable advantage derived from this invention over the Spectacles now in common use is, that instead of vision becoming strained, heated, weakened, and in numerous cases seriously injured, it is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu pation, and can see with those Lenses of a much less magnifying power, and that which is a matter of the greatest consequence is that they do not require the frequent change to further helps. Also, Achromatic Telescopes, Opera Glasses, invisible and all kinds of Acoustic Instruments, for relief of extreme deafness. Caution—Not in any way connected with a person putting up the same name in their immediate neigh bourhood, nor in any part of the country. To prevent mistakes be cautious, and observe—Only to be had at 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel. A JEWEL, NOT IN A TOAD'S HEAD.—On Wed nesday, an ox belonging to Mr. James Cobb, flesher, was slaughtered, and, strange to say a gold breast-pin was found in its stomach. The point was worn away, and the stone in it much corroded by gastric juice.— Montrose Standard, PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS (From the Votes and Proceedings of the Howse of Commons., FRIDAY, )(ARCH 2.

Slll,—lt will b, in the recollection of those engaged in railway transactions, if not of the public generally, that the Bears had carried on their nefarious traffic to such an extent as to cause the price of Midland to be quoted in October last at 64/. to 661.; York and New castle, 201. to 21/.; York and North Midland, 411. to 431.; and even London and North- Western at 991. to 106/., and every share quoted in the London List in like proportion. You were amongst the first, if not thefirst, to draw the at tentionof the holders of railway property to the scheming designs of the Bears, until, by your advocacy of railway investments, attention was commanded of the chairmen and directors of railway companies to the unwarrant able depreciation of railway property. Mr. Hud son stepped forward on that occasion, and by his in fluence put an e n d t o t h e mac hi nat i ons o f th e L ondon' Stock Exchan ge , b y en f orc i ng upon its com mittees the necessity of discontinuing the ex-parte statement published under colour of its sanc tion. This, with more detailed statements issued by the leading railway companies, caused a re action—a reaction greatly to the discomfiture of the Bears; Midl an d s , b y t h e L ondon Li st , h aving since been quoted at 981. t o 1001., Y or k , Newcastle, 5cc.,29(, t o 3011., York and North Midland, 571 to 591 : , making an enhanced value in the buying prices of Midland of 34/ . per share; York and Newcastle of 9i/., and of York and North Midland of 161. per share, and this all within four months. Would the railway-holding public only take time to consider, and not take the opinion of any ob scure newspaper, whose editor wishes to raise it into notoriety at the risk of offending against all law and the common obligations of society, the Bears would suffer greatly from their attacks upon Mr. Hudson. Their losses have, doubtless, been enormous, and their efforts to recover them will not be guided by the strictest rules of honour or decency. Of course, as in all similar cases, there are many, a great many, ver y w i se men, who shrug their shoulders, shake their heads, and profess to give a knowing wink, who formerly were ever ready to bepra i se and laud the rising god. Let shareholders wait the result of the investigation submitted to by {r. Hudson, and I feel confident they will be more satisfied with tho result than the Bears will ultimately have occasion to be.

Yesterday a meeting of the Shipowners' Society was held at the London Tavern, to which the attenfiance of all who wished to prevent the repeal of the navigation laws was invited. Deputations were present from Greenock, North Shields, Exeter, Whitehaven, and Scarborough. Mr. DUNBAR, who filled the chair, opened the pro ceedings by stating that this was a meeting of the Ge neral Shipowners' Society, for the purpose of rendering a report of what had been done during the pact year. No meeting of the society was held last year, the society being then so mach engaged in the protection of their interests. The report, however, would explain what had taken place, and what was then going on. It was not necessary for him, therefore, to take up any time in stating what was set forth therein. It was very agree able for him to see so largo a meeting of the shipowners as that now before him. It showed that they were at last alive to the danger they were in, and that they were de termined to put their shoulders to the wheel, and to I protect their interest, now threatened with ruin. It sitas a great misfortune that the shipowners had not been an united body. When the society bad applied to them individually, it had been met with a lukewarn reception, which seemed to imply that they expected them. T the gentlemen The time, mh e hoped, i n London however,wo u had now m would th e conicfor when the shipowners would see the danger of their posi tion, and endeavour, as much as possible, to assist the society, for without its help it would be impossible to do anything effectual. The shipowners seemed to con sider that it was " all up" with them, but there was nothing more likely to make " all up" with them than to say and think so, for thus they communicated despair to all around, and prevented the -exertions of those who were desirous to assist them. He, therefore, hoped they would do all they could to induce M.P.'s and others to support them. He was quite satisfied, and he took this opportunity of saying so, that -the doctrine of free trade was not so ascendant in the kingdom as it was. He was sure that if the country was polled, a great majority would appear in favour of protecting the shipping in terest. If it was possible to do away with the national debt, then there might be some ground for the introduc tion of free trade, but as that could not be done, he thought it was one of the birthrights of Englishmen that their trade and maritime interests should be protected. Having expressed his hope that every speaker would re ceive a fair hearing, the Chairman called on Mr. Young to read the report. This document was one of great length, and reviewed minutely the events of last 3 ears with reference to the question of repealing the navigation-laws. It concluded by recommending shipowners to be united among them selves, and to seek the support of other interests in the State threatened like their own with ruin from the free trade policy of the . Government and the House of Corn mons. Mr. Ronnysow, M.P., said, he believed it was well known that since the introduction of the measure for the repeal of the navigation-laws he had felt it his duty, in conjunction with other Members who thought with him, to offer his strenuous opposition to a measure fraught with ruin to the maritime interests of the coun try. He commented upon the manner in which Govern ment had from the beginning proceeded in bringing for ward the measure. The first thing which made it known that they intended to repeal the navigation-laws was the publication in an -American newspaper of a correspondence which had taken place be tween Lord Palmerston and the American Mi nister, Mr. Bancroft. He censured the Govern. ment for yielding to the insidious suggestion of Mr. Bancroft, and appointing a Committee of the House of Commons to consider the subject, without the slightest signification from the country that the change was asked for, wished, or even expected. It was one thing to submit a question fairly and impartially to Par liamentary investigation, and another to bring it forward with all the weight of Ministerial responsibility. The next step taken by Government indicated the mode i❑ which they were determined to carry the measure. A letter had been addressed by Mr. Murray, of the Foreign-office, to the British Consuls abroad, which had been correctly designated as a fishing letter, written for the express purpose of degrading and calumniating the officers and sailors of the mercantile marine. His next complaint against the Government was the manner i❑ which they attempted to force their measure on against the declared wish of the country last year. He had felt it his duty, now that the question was coming on again for discussion, gravely to go through the evidence which had been taken before the Committee of the House of Lords, and he found that a main ground set up by the Government for proposing such a change was the high rate of freights which the ship owners were enabled by their monopoly to exact from the shippers of merchandise. Now, he had been a mer chant himself for forty years, and had no hesitation in saying that if they looked back for te❑ or twelve years past, 1847 being alone excepted, the shipowners were the only persons who had any reason to complain in respect of the amount of freights, and not the shippers of goods. Ile ridiculed the evidence of a contrary character which had been given before the Committee of Inquiry, but ad mitted that occasionally inconvenience arose; but then Mr. Huskisson, whom free-traders so often quoted, had said that when the interests of commerce and navigation clashed, his opinion was, from the importance of keeping up a mercantile marine for the national defence, that the interests of commerce should give way. When the advo cates of the Government measure were driven from one position they adroitly betook themselves to another. Thus Mr. Labouchere was found dwelling upon the petitions i❑ its favour presented from Canada and the %Vest Indies. But he found that these petitions were signed by a comparatively small number of the colo nists, and that their prayer for the repeal of the na vigation-laws was wrung out of them not so much from any hope that they would be benefited by sueh a change as from the misery and despair which had been produced among them by the afflictive visitation of what was vulgarly called free trade. Burdened as they were by an enormous amount of taxation, and by tho expense of an extravagant Government, they had been told that they might go and build their ships in foreign countries; but what in the mean time was to become of the thou sands of the labouring classes dependent on ship build ing and repairir.g for their support? He sometimes thought that the majority of the House of Commons, and those who had the go►ernment in their hands, had been stricken with a species of political blindness, for he could not account is any other way for the pertinacity with which they seemed determined to carry out their principles of free trade. The want of employment was the great evil from which the country was suf fering, and yet the Government were preparing to take another step in the direction to which those doctrines which had caused that want of employment led; 'The s time Would soon arrive when a reaction must take' place, but if the navigation-laws were re pealed now, h'e - feared the shipowners would not be able to go back so advantageously as if they now made a vigorous and successful stand against the policy of Government. He then proceeded to comment on the evidence given by Captain Stirling, R.N., before the Committee of the House of Commons, and to contrast it with that of the naval officers given before the Committee of the House of Commons. They were told that other nations would reciprocate if they repealed the naviga tion-laws, but he set little value on such reciprocity, and considered that the only true guide to the policy of the country was its own interest. They had tried the expe• riment of free trade for twenty years without finding a follower of their example among the nations. The Americans had no free trade, nor the French, though among them democratic principles were now in the ascendant. Yet in the face of such facts it was that the Government were endeavouring to repeal the navigation-laws. As to retaliation by foreigners upon Great Britain for persisting in pro tection, nothing could be done thereby half so injurious as were the consequences of this one-sided system of free trade. Now, what was the importance of this shipping interest, at which so deadly a blow was sought to be struck? He estimated the value of their shipping at 38,000,0004, the expense of building, &c., at 16,000,0001. He had no jealousy of the Americans, who were a nation sprung from themselves; but their tonnage was now nearly equal to their own, and they viewed the repeal of the navigation-laws as likely to produce greater benefits than any commercial treaty that had ever been concluded with the mother country. Obloquy had been thrown on the shipping interest by the system of impressment; but what had they to do with that system? Nothing. He invited them to make every exertion to protest against the measure, and if they failed, and it went to the House of Lords, he hoped that House, looking at the evidence which had been taken before their own Committee, would throw it out. Having moved the adoption of the report, fir J. 11. BELLY rose to second it. Ho was ready to stand forward on all occasions on behalf of British ships and British sailors, whose interests be considered the sheet-anchor of the country. They had two recommend ations from the Committee—one of union among them selves, and the other to secure the support of other par ties in the State possessed of influence and suffering from like injurics. It was necessary for commerce to have a rich neighbour who could buy their produce. He had much pleasure in seconding the motion, on the distinct understanding that concessions of their own interest should he made where those concessions were reasonable, and that they should be guided by what they did by re gard for the public good. Mr. PowLEs said it was stated that there was no hope in the House of Commons, but he , did not believe that that House would dare to pass a measure based upon so rotten a foundation. Tho system of free trade had proved a complete failure, as a proof of which he appealed to the extraordinary increise in the number of applications for employment. Where, then, was the necessity for so much precipi tation? There was no call for this measure on the part of the country, but it seemed that Ministers had no longer the courage to preserve their independence. They were the slaves of an agitation out of doors, and at its bidding the two greatest statesmen of the day had re tracted all the opinions of their previous lives. Upon what information was it that the House of Commons were about to legislate? Upon a complete want of it. He entirely agreed in the report, and considering the danger of the' proposed measure, and the necessity of setting Parliament to rights upon the subject, he had great pleasure in moving the following resolution :-- "That the meeting entirely concurs in the sentiments contained in the report regarding the measure now be. fore Parliament for the instant repeal of the navigation laws as fraught with consequences destructive to the shipping interest, and dangerous both to the welfare and safety of the country, and calls on shipowners cordially to unite in the most determined efforts to induce the Legislature to reject the Bill." Mr. Alderman SIDNEY seconded the motion. At the time Sir R. Peel brought forward his - measure for the repeal of the corn-laws he placed so much confidence in his practical talent that he acquiesced in it ; but he had since seen his error, and was now decidedly opposed to any further extension of the doctrines of free trade. Mr. R. A. GREY moved the third resolution, which was " That this meeting desires to record its grateful estimation of the services rendered by the Committee to the shipping interest, under the continued difficulties with which it has had to contend during the past year, and earnestly recommends the shipowners throughout the United Kingdom to extend a general and efficient support to the society, as the best means of protecting the interest of maritime commerce, and their own in connexion therewith." Mr. C. GRAHAM having seconded the motion, it was carried unanimously. Mr. YOUNG moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, after which the meeting separated. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A special court was held on Tuesday and Thursday, on the subject of Smithfield -market. On the former day, Mr. J. T. NORRIS moved for a committee to provide a more suitable market-place. Mr. Norris first ran over the history of Smithfield, and showed that it had first been chosen as a market, be cause it was in the suburbs of London, away from the busy haunts of men. There was a statute of Henry the Seventh forbidding any butcher to kill any beast within the walls of London under a pecuniary penalty. As a trading speculation, it was impossible for the corpora tion to make a worse use of their money or their land. Mr. Norris next adverted to •the annoyances and diffi culties to trade and passengers which arose from the present position of the beast market, and the facility it afforded to the spread of contagion among the animals. He then referred to the evidence given before the Com mittee of the House of Commons, and to the report of the sanitary officer of the corporation, both decidedly in favour of a removal. It was impossible to remedy the evil by further extensive enlargements, for the cost was too heavy. Everything concurred in confirming the im pression that " Smithfield must go." Whilst, then, the chief cities of Europe had witnessed scenes of confusion and blood, let it be said that the great corporation of London was forming and adopting improved regula tions for the health, convenience, and advantage of her citizens.—(Loud applause.) Mr. Deputy HICKS said it had been proved before Parliament that one-fourth of the supply of Smithfield was driven away over Blackfriars-bridge, and therefore, if the market were remove to Islington, the driving the cattle through the streets would be doubled. It was indispensable that the butchers should attend Newgate Market for dead meat, and so it was said that Islington Cattle Market could be reached in ten minutes by cabs. He called upon the Court to fancy 1,800 or 2,000 but chers driving from one market to another, at the rate of twelve miles an hour. As to space, Smithfield Market now embraced. upwards of 6f acres. The De puty then stated how much had been done of late years for the improvement of Smithfield, and the better regu lation of the drovors, and referred to the evidence of Dr. Burroughs, Mr. Lawrence, and Mr. Lynch, and to that of many: of the inhabitants themselves, which, he said, showed that Smithfield was one of the healthiest spots in the whole metropolis. After some general ob servations upon the advantages which, he said, were most obvious to the public, as derivable from the market, he emphatically concluded by declaring that, in his judgment, its removal would intolerably increase all the evils it was said to engender, and by moving the previous question.—(Cheers.) Mr. GoDsoN seconded the amendment. Mr. ANDERTON was decidedly opposed to Mr. Norris's motion. Was the question one of philanthropy? No; it was a question of a very different kind. It involved the fact that some persons had spent an enormous sum of money in a certain speculation, and that they would try to get some of it back. There was a prospectus of New Smithfield market, in which shares were to be issued to the amount of 400,0001., and a profit of eighteen per cent was calculated upon. Talk of California after that!—(Laughter.) That new project was the cause of all the outry. Mr. BENNOCH supported Mr. Norris's motion. Alderman LAWRENCE said a vast deal of industry had been exercised, not only to accomplish the fate of Smith field, but to induce the public to take shares in the new project.—(Hear, hear.) Formerly it had been planned to hare markets all round London. To that he had no objection ; but it was found that Islington had failed, and there was good reason for suppos ing that such would be the case with all other enterprises of this nature. Now, if they give up Smith field, where was the trade to go he would ask ? How many one-horse carts would the butchers require ?—(A cry of " let them go by the railroad.") There mus', then, be a railway to every butcher's door. The same argument would apply to Nee-gate market and Leaden hall market. There had been inquiry. As for the statement that public opinion was against the market, he denied the assertion, although he admitted that the public press was ready to pen any slander, well knowing that slander would sell better than any other trash. Ile particularly referred to that part of the press which was called respectable, and which conveyed ideas that never entered the minds of those to whom they were attributed. Alderman Lawrence then strongly expressed his indif ference at the conduct of newspaper editors, whose efforts should never prevent him from doing what he considered to be his duty, and concluded, amidst cheers, by stating that he should vote for the previous question. Mr. BLAKE opposed the view which Alderman Law rence had taken in every instance. He was convinced that the health of the public was injured by the market and its mass of filth and abomination. Ho knew that excessive cruelty was practised upon the animals, and that there was foundation for every charge by which its character was assailed. The Court then adjourned. Yesterday the debate was resumed, and the discussion was re-opened by Mr. WILLIAM JONES, who complained of the manner in which the Corporation had been treated, and their motives and actions impugned. He had filled the office of chairman of the market committee, and could bear testimony to the anxiety evinced by the Corporation, regardless of expense, to enlarge and improve the market,7—(Hear.) The objections which had been made agiiinst the market un - act - bunt of the public inconveni ence which. it r was supposed •to occasion, were grossly exaggerated. Of course, in conducting the extensive operations of a market to supply the greatest city in the world with food, some inconvenience would be experi enced. It was impossible to conduct any extensive branch of trade in a crowded city without being sub jected to similar evils. The railway vans and waggons in our narrow streets and courts created a much greater impediment to the conduct of the business of the City, but they escaped the observation of those who had taken upon themselves, through the medium of the public press, to be the censors of the Corporation on account of Smithfield Market. But the Corporation were wholly undeserving of the imputations they cast upon them. The site of the market had been from time to time enlarged by the Corporation, at an outlay for which the tolls afforded a very insufficient remuneration, and if the Corporation consulted their own interests alone they would at once consent to the removal of the market, and would appropriate their property to a more beneficial use. Mr. Jones then proceeded to read extracts from the evidence given before the Committee of the House of Commons to prove that the market was not injurious to the health of the inhabitants, and that it was not attended with the accidents and other evils attri buted to it by the mover of the question. Mr. Deputy DixoN (Cripplegate) said he should not be deterred from doing what he believed to be his duty to his constituents by the attacks of the press. The press had attempted to wake him appear ridiculous, by ascribing to him l anguage h e l ied not used.--(dear, hear.) lie repeated that as the father of a family, residing in the vicinity of the market, he could bear witness that the statements of its injurious effects upon the public health were either greatly exaggerated or wholly untrue.—(Hear, hear.) The statements of the cruelty practised upon the animals were equally un founded; and he would ask the Lord Mayor, during the number of years he had acted as a magistrate, how many cases of cruelty on the part of drovers and others connected with the mat ket had been brought before him? The LoRD MaYon—Very few ;certainly no down. t balt a Mr. Deputy Dixosf—lf it were true that the graziers desired that th e i r stoc k should be exhibited did in they a larger market, as was sometimes pretended, whynot go to Perki n ' s market Islington? Th at atwas big establishment enough; but the fact was, that when that s desired to was first opened in 1838, many of the . give it a fair trial, and sent half tbeir gr h n e z asts of to th ls e l n e w ton and half to Smithfield. The proprietors market, fancying they could ge t the whole business into their own hands, told their customers they mast have all or none. The graziers took th _ hint, and and sent Steady their cattle where they could get a a certain sale.—(Hear.) Mr. WYLIE would support the motion. 1.10 had re ceived letters from correspondents in Scotland, repro se ntig n that the animals sent by st eamers to Smithfield wore go touch deteriorated by their treatment in the market, that they could scarcely recognise them, and were obliged to dispose of th em f or what they would fetch, rather than retire theta and keep them for ano ther market, which would b e t h e case if they had sill ficient acFommodntion. He had himself no doubt that the injurious effects of the market, in a sanitary point' of view, so far from being exaggerated, were in fact un derstated. The c i t i zens of London Were indebted to the interposition of Providence, which had saved them from the cholera in the filthy regions of the market, and they ought to show their gratitude in return, by taking means to remove to a distance from the crowded city the injurious and disgusting nuisances whist) existed in the market, or were immediately connected with it. Me. ELLIOTT said that the honour and character of the Corporation were deeply interested in the right de- termination of this question. They would find it in vain to struggle against the force of public opinion, and, sooner or later, they must bend to its influence. A large portion of the press and a large portion of the public had spoken upon this subject in a voice that could not be misunderstood—they had doomed the market as a public nuisance, and it was something too much for the Corpo ration to say that they rejected the motion of his Hon. Friend as not being entitled to be referred to a commit.. tee for inquiry and examination.—(Hear, hear.) In that committee proof would be given of the truth of the state ments that gentleman had made in his opening speech.-- (Hear, hear.) It required, however, no evidence to prove that a great cattle market in the centre of a po pulous city must be injurious to the health of its inha bitants. The air is necessarily contaminated by the re spiration of a dense population—the congregation of so large a mass of live animals added to the evil. The air expired by a bullock was as much deprived of its vital principle as if it had performed the same office for a human being. When it was recollected that every week three or four thousands bullocks and many thousands of sheep were collected together in the very heart of the City, in a place surrounded by a low population, it was impossible to determine what was the extent of its inju rious influence upon the health of the surrounding dis tricts. The Corporation ought to be in advance of the age in all great improvements, instead of halting be hind, and rolling in the ordure of Smitlifield.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") Mr. R. TAYLOR said it had heen truly stated by the last speaker that the public was strong enough to take care of itself and its own interests. The Corporation in this case had no interest apart from the general welfare of the public.—(Hear, hear.) It was a gross misrepre sentation to say that the Corporation were interested in perpetuating abuses injurious to the public; but who were the public whose cause interested individuals were so prompt to advocate? If public opinion might be ga thered from what took place in the House of Commons last year, it was wholly i n f avour of the continuance of the market in its present situation. One of the Represen tatives for the county of Middlesex, and the metropolitan Members in general, voted against the removal.—(Hesiin hear.) The public were free to patronise a subnrbaa market. If they preferred it, it was the duty of the Corporation to continue, as they had heretofore done. to enlarge the market when necessary, and to improve its regulations, and they would perform that duty with out grudging any expense it might entail upon them, but while they felt that by retaining the market, they were upholding the rights of the public, they would not be deterred from pursuing that course by the attacks of the press, however, powerful that organ might be.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. Deputy HARRISON said he was not so indifferent as the preceding speaker to the interest:which the citizens of London had in the decision of the question. They were representatives of the inhabitant householders of the City, and it was their duty to uphold their rights and privileges as long as they were not unjust and injurious to the public at large. It was impossible to say that 8,000,00 u/. a year could change hands in the centre of the city of London without some portion of it remaining by way of profit to those who were engaged in the trans action. The interests of the inhabitants of the metro polis at large, and not merely of the citizens, rendered it a matter of paramount importance that the market frosts which they derived their supply should be in a central situation, which could be easily approached from every part of the surrounding district. The mover of the ques tion, like a dextrous tactician, had confined himself to an attack on the existing market, and had not pointed out any spot to which he would have it removed .—(Hear, hear.) It had been said that the beast markets for the supply of the population of Paris were several miles from the centre of that city. That was true, and, as a neces sary consequence, the markets were combined with abattoirs fur slaughtering the animals on the spot. The effect of this system was to drive the small butchers out of the market, and to throw the trade into the hands of the monopolists.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted the trade and commerce of Paris, and the mode of conducting it, in all its branches, would never be made the subject for imitation in our commercial arrangements in this coun try.—(Cheers.) Extracts from evidence had been quoted, but they had been so garbled as to raise inferences en tirely opposed to those which ought to be drawn from the facts, if fairly stated. Mr. Harrison the read extracts from the evidence of the late Dr. Lynch, and others, in illus tration of his statement, and concluded a very able speech by saying that the complaints that had been made, of the state of the slaughterhouses in the City, had some foundation ; but those who preferred such complaints ought in candour to have stated that until their new Sewers Bill Came into operation, in January last, the Corporation had no power to abate the nuisance. They had long been in the habit of putting the law in force to its fullest extent, for the purpose of modifying evils they could not altogether remove. Now they had enlarged powers under the Sewers Act, and they had caused no tices to be given to the owners of all slaughterhouses that they would be subjected to the most stringent regulations which, under the advice of the officer of health, the Cor poration might think necessary.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Deputy STACY supported the amendment. If it were true, as stated, that suburban markets afforded more accommodation than Smithfield, why did not the graziers send their stock to Southwell, Croydon, or Barnet, all of them in the vicinity of London, and all of them having old established markets for both beasts and sheep.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. R. LAMBERT JONES said, that while the corpo ration had been engaged during the last ten years in im proving and enlarging Smithfield Market whenever op portunity offered, the demand for accommodation had been decreasing, and he was satisfied it would still fur ther decrease, by the operation of the railroads and the steam navigation, which now supplied the dead-markets with a large portion of the supply required for the popu lation.—(Hear, hear.) He had taken some pains to as certain the quantities brought weekly into London by those means; and he found the steamers averaged 100 tons; the Great Western Railway 100 tons; the Eastern Counties Railway 300 tons; and the North Western 150 tons, including a great quantity of mutton brought weekly from Edinburgh. According to the best calcu lation he could make, the whole weight of live stock sold weekly in Smithfield amounted to about 1,470 tons, while the average weight of dead meat from the sources named already exceeded 600 tons, and the supply was constantly on the increase. —(Hear, hear.) Mr. PERKINS and 111 r. H. L. TAYLOR spoke in favour of the amendment. The Court, however, became impatient, in consequence of the protraction of the debate to so late an hour. Mr. NOIIRIS replied, and his motion was negatived without a division. .'HE ALLEGED MURDER IN CO PENHAGEN FIELDS. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Mills, the Deputy-Coroner for the county of Middlesex, held an inquest at the Pied Bull Tavern, Islington, on the body of William Henry Crook, D.D., who was found with his throat cut in the fields near the Model Prison, Pentonvillo, under such. circumstances as led to the general belief that ha had been murd( red. George Andrews, a labourer, said, that shortly before seven o'clock on the morning of the 28th of February he, in company with some other persons, was going through the fields near the Caledonian-road, when his attention was called, by a man named Wells to the fact that a man, apparently dad, was lying near the wooden fence, a few feet from the road. On going to the spot he saw the body lying between the fence and the back part of the house of a man named Fosset. There was a glove, with blood on the palm, hanging on the tenterhoooks of the fence. There was a hat, with about a quart of blood under it, six yards away from the body. The body itself was I)ing on its face in a quantity of blood, the left hand doubled under it. It was completely dressed, and showed no appearance of any struggle. A razor blade, with rag or paper bound round the haft, was found a few feet from the body. The maker's name was Johnson. A dog, upon which sonic spots of blood ap peared, was sitting between the legs of the body. It re fused to move, and snarled when the body was touched. There were the footmarks of one person near the body. The place around was very muddy. There was a blue purse, with a key, but no money in it, close to the body. This statement was corroborated m all its rngterial points by IVilliarn Wells and Eliza Mason. J. Goodenham, 433 N, stated, that be was called to see the body by Andrews on the morning of the 28th of February. Th ere were two sof blood—one under the hat a few ya r d s from the pool body, and the other under the body itself, the clothes being quite saturated. There would be no difficulty in getting to the spot where de ceased was found, as he could have gone round the fence. A purse with a sma l l key was handed to hil, and on searching the b o d y h e f ound a pa i r o f spectacl es. An envelope with th e a dd ress o f 1)r.

On Tuesday, the 27th, he (deceased) called on him by a pp oi ntmentan d the He was the same as usual in his manner, and inspected some books to which witness directed his attention. He was a man of great literary attainments. Did not think the deceased committed the act himself. Never saw anything in his manner to lead to the supposition that he would commit such an act. Mr. Crook, the son of the deceased, a chemist at Gravesend, stated that ho had not seen his father for 18 months. his father used to be subject to fits of excite ment. His conduct to his family would lead to the belief that he was out of his mind. Mr. C. T. Bradley, the surgeon of the Model Prison, proved that death was caused by a wound in the throat, about an inch long, very d eep, and dividing the external vessels, Edward Dorton, a police-constable, stated that his beat wasjquite close to the spot, but there was no noise which . exc ited his attention. Mr. Crook said that his father's razors were all made by Rogers, of Sheffield. Other witnesses were examined to prove the state of the deceased's mind; but it was only elicited that ho was an extremely irritable man, and was subject to headache. No trace could be found of the dog, which did not belong to the deceased, and which escaped the day after the death from the room in which it had been put. After a brief summing up by the CORONER, Tho jury returned a . verdict " That the deceased's death was caused by a wound in the throat, but how h a t wound-was inflicted there was no evidence to show." g. w. 10th back, ed at hard PN, 7 ila at I to a Lew a scent, husl, kr.) prices I, and Os to anon, vious s for It 30 4d to upper or all ufac- ~~~- iusan :ssrs. a ined )g. iu s per Dor nter- NUt3 !epll" one; Bar' eseY , Is of s on now ~ the J.
