Insuring their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se euring Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age; Weeir.y Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children, the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected against loss by Fire, in suns from 101. to 100/., by Quarterly Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 201. can be Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months; duty included.

F. FERGTISON CAMROUX, Sec. SIGHT AND HEARING. 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, (Opposite the York Hotel), and 76, KING WILLIAM-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND. THE INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, effected by the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMON S, OPTICIANS and AURIgTS to the ROYAL F 111IILY, 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, by which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly bene fited, is the size of a seven-shilling piece, and when fixed into the cavity of the ear is soft and easy, and not more perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard with distinctness. And defective VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly invented SPECTACLE LENSES; immediately they are placed before weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day or candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle is seen with great distinctness ; by the use of which both the sight and hearing become much improved. The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim all con nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am ber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well known to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, he has therefor. altered their name, by leaving out the word " Amber,' and calling them " Patent Spectacles." Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority : From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D., F. R, S., &c., &c. " Amber is an indurated vegetalitle juice, and not produced by the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which Influence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often found embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction —very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag ments ; tha workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling such dreadful excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to warmth, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame." The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir D. Brewster and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hems, on Che mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta cles, to imperfect vision, may be ascertained at any respectable Optician's in London. The Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are not constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe rior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons, are .r.ly to be had at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.

He consi dered it incumbent upon him to impress upon all per sons ,who" wanted to: obtain interest upon any money they might have been enabled to lay by, to be most cautious to whom they entrusted it, as it was much to be feared that there were many flashy concerns, not much more suktant'al, in the metropolis than that the mischiefs of which were every day so wofully recorded. He trusted, and had every reason to suppose, that the exertions of the solicitors would not be without effect. Mr. Bigg, who was engaged upon the part of many of the London annuitants, while Messrs. Johnston and Farquhar were engaged for the Scotch and Irish, had, Ile understood, taken possession of some property be longing to the managers ; and he thought it would be most prudent in the solicitors for all the claimants to unite their exertions for the good of all.

TfIE INDEPENDENT WEST MIDDLESEX Assu- RANCE COMPANY.—Sir Peter Laurie having sent for Mr. Farquhar, of the house of Johnston and Farquhar, solicitors, New Broad-street, who are employed against the Independent West Middlesex Fire and Life As surance Company, to communicate with him on the subject, that gentleman called at the Justice-room, and, in answer to questions from the Alderman, stated that where there; sere innumerable and complicated instances of plunder, as in the " West Middl e sex," the operations of those who were acting for the unfortunate annuitants were necessarily very tardy. He had ascertained that the original deed of settlement of the Company had been buena, and the managers were endeavouring to get hold of the notarial copy, which had been sent to Scotland, when they had the impudence to go to trial to esta blish their reputation. The notarial copy was, how ever, safe in the hands of the officer of the Court of Session. If they had succeeded, all trace of the Com pany would be lost. The names to the deed had been obtained at the rate of five shillings each, and, since the breaking up of the establishment, the most unde niable proofs had been discovered of the whole of the enormous fraud.

The Morning Advertiser of this day contains a leading article on the subject of Lord Stanley's Irish Registra tion Bill, in the course of which our Contemporary ob set yes Had not his Lordship and his followers been encouraged by seeing the professed friends of Ireland hesitate to use the advantage of their position to place the general interests on a more secure basin, Lord Stan ley and the Tories would never have dar.el t 3 introduce their abhorred Bill." The Morning Herald returns to the subject of the late ti i:1 of Lord Cardigan in the House of Peers, and observe, with reference to the verdict, " had the Earl been hied before the fifteen Judge , ,-all sitting together on a special commission, we have no hesi tation in saying that they would—that they must—have come to the same decision 83 did the Peer-composed Court of the Lord High Steward." The Times in a trading article suggested by the state of our foreign political relations, remarks as fol lows:—" Nobody can tell what is to be the result of the present state of our relations with France or with America ; and this incapacity of judging as to results when it is so nearly general, and under existing circumstances so apparently irremediable, must be considered among the heaviest evils that can afflict a nation, short only of war it self." The Morning Post contains a lengthy article on the subject of the Church, the object of which is to show that strict Church principles and discipline are making rapid progress throughout the country. The Morning Chronicle remarks, with reference to the Earl of Cardigan's recent trial in the Lords :—" Let us hope that the disgrace of this trial will not have been incurred in vain, and that a purer and more rational system of judicial procedure will one day take the place of the present contemptible system." Sir PETER LAURIE said that it was very odd that the Scotch, who generally saw their way pretty clearly where money was concerned, were, in regard to the West Middlesex Company, very blind. He had heard that there were numerous annuitants from that country on the books, and most of them were, he understood, poor old men and women, who, captivated with the promise of the large ptalintage, which in fact ought rather to have frightened them, put all the hard earn ings of their youth into the jaws of the establishment. Mr. Farquhar said that the clerks of the house in which he was a partner had frequently visited the house No. 27, Baker-street, where the villanous transactions were carried on, and witnessed the most heart-rending distress. He had seen Mr. Smith, the landlord of the house, who informed him that Hole, the secratary,had a lease of the house for 21 years, at 130/. per annum. The landlord removed all the papers which had not been previously removed or destroyed by the managers, to the house of Messrs. Johnston and Farquhar, in New Broad -street, as Sir Peter Laurie had requested him to do. The porter who used to attend during the humbug operations of the Board-room, had mentioned that about a fortnight before the house was closed two pipes of wine had been brought into it, bottled off has tily, and divided amongst the managers and secretary, who sent the prey to their respective homes. Sir PETER LAURIE said that amongst the crowds of communications which he had received was the folloiv ing OAKS. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. Highfield, near Nantwich, Feb. 11. Sir,—As you have so laudably exerted yourself in exposing the swindling transactions of the 'West Mid dlesex Fire and Life Assurance Company, I beg to send you particulars of the following cruel robbery com mitted by that Company. An agent was appointed in Audlem, in this county, who states he received fifteen out of every hundred pounds he could obtain, that is, remitting eighty-five, retaining fifteen, a circumstance you, perhaps, are n o t a ware o f. No doubt many agents had the same premium. John Trickett, of Burton, in this parish, an honest hard-working man, bad in the course of forty years saved 1071. Unfortunately he was advised to purchase into the West Middlesex, from which he was to receive 25/. per annum for life. The first dividend is not yet due. He has lost his property, and is unable to work, and must now go the parish for relief. There are many cases in this neighbourhood of equal atrocity. CHRONICLE.—The intelligence from the East being looked upon as satisfactory, and the fate of the Fortifica tion Bill in the Peers being thought by some parees doubtful, the funds hare presented a firmer appearance. We have received a file of Sydney papers, the latevt of which is of the 9th of October, being only one day later than those previously received. The LegisLtve Council were still sitting, but their .procendings nee e principally taken up by various Bits before the House of a local nature. The Governor had expressed an opinion net if the General Insolvent Bill before the Counc.l at the early part of the Session bad been passed into a law law, what ever monctar; embarrassments bad taken place lately would have been thrown upon the law; but ,he was glad to say that he had reason to believe that the depression was pass ing away, and he thought the colony would do very well without an insolvent law, the old law not being at all se vere. In the course of two years he found that only thirty-four persons had been imprisoned a second time, and two only a third time, and the terms of imprisonment were very short. I remain, Sir, yours very obediently, W. BAKER. Surrey-place, Kennington-common. Sir ; I beg to introduce myself to your notice, through the medium of my intimate friend, Miss Page, whom you so kindly protected in the Spanish Bond at fairs. Inclosed is a rough copy of my unfortunate connexion with the West Middlesex Association, and if not trespassing too much on your valuable time, may I beg the favour of your advice under the present circumstances. The Kmerican discovery squadron was left at the Fejee Islands on the 18th of July last, busily employed in making a full survey of that interesting group of islands. Her Majesty's surveying ship Sulphur, and tender, arrived at the Fejces about the lst of June. POST.—We have authority to state, for the informa tion of the Portuguese bondholders, that Mr. Thornton is still in correspondence with the Lisbon Executive on the subject of the late financial proposition, and that he can not feel himself warranted in recommending them to agree to the terms of conversion offered until assured that no ad vantage can be taken of them under the provisions of the 6th article of the decree. We know that Mr. Thornton has received a communication from the new Finance Mi nister on the matter, in reply to one addressed by him to M. Ferns, his predecessor, but that, as it is by no means satisfactory is him, he purposes to address the Minister again by next packet The wbcle of the correspondence, when completed, wirtr laid before the public. In the meantime, even those parties who have given in their con ditional adhesion to the scheme will do well to proceed no further in the business. I remain, your obedient servant, G. G. West Middlesex and General Annuity Association &c. &c. &c. Know all men, &c. &c. That we, John Wilson, Thomas Knowles, and William Edward Taylor, three of the Acting Ma nagers, &c. &c., are firmly bound to Mrs. Elizabeth G., of Surrey-place, Kennington-common, in the penal sum of nine hundred and fifty pounds. Dated 17th day of December, 1839. JOHN WILSON. THOMAS: KNOWLES. W. E. TAYLOR. In the presence of George Williams, solicitor, No. 2, Hart -street, Bloomsbury. William Hole, Secretory, 27, Brook -street, Portman square. TIMES..—The English Stock-market was very firm throughout the day, and the later bargains were at im proved prices. The letters from Manchester state that an unusual de mand has sprung up there for a new fabric of the " mousse-. line-de-laine" species, which i 3 stimulating the manufac turers to great exertions, both in extending their power of production, and making new improvements in the patterns. Of these, through the facilities the money postage gives, many specimens are transmitted in the letters, and the pub lic, till they have seen them, will hardly credit what really elegant fabrics are produced, at the price of 14d. a yard, for a commodity of 27 inches aide. It SCTVC3 as an addi tional proof, if any were waned, of the means by which our manufacturers, if fair play is given to them, contrive to obtain the command of every market in the world. Some of the manufacturers have orders for all that they are able to produce within the next three months. Money seems to continue in considerable demand in Manchester, but not so as to create any very serious impediment to the general activity which is springing up in the trade of the district. Whereas the said Elizabeth G., 'has this day paid to the West Middlesex Company, the sum of four hun dred and seventy-five pounds, andthe consideration is an annuity of sixty pounds, payable quarterly, to com mence from the 17th of November instant, and to con tinue during her life, &c., the first payment to com mence, and be paid, on the 17th day of February, 1838. Received the day of the above, &c. &c., the full sum of 475/. Deputy ALLAN presided. JOHN WILSON. THOMAS KNOWLES. W. E. TAYLOR. In the pretence of William Hole. Mr. Farquhar said, that amongst the applicants at the house in Baker•street, were the following :—A lady, from the neighbourho o d of Chesterfield, who had sunk 700/. fOr an annuity, and who had in vain written to the managers. Those letters, together with a great number of other letters, demanding, some in a menacing, some in a supplicatory, tone, the amount of money due, were found amongst the papers of the Company, to which no attention whatever was paid. A gentleinau, from a person in Limerick, who had also sunk 700/. in the Association, represented that the poor man for whom whom he applied had attempted self-destruction in con sequence of the deplorable state of destitution to which he had been reduced by the robbery committed upon him. Another gentleman detailed the particulars of a female who had, by hard labour, and pinching economy, gathered together 700/., all of which she deposited in the hands of the Directors, who promised her a most comfortable independence for her life. From the moment this poor victim heard of the catastrophe at Baker -street, she hourly drooped, and at last died of a broken heart, and with all the terrors of a workhouse before her. A laundress in the neighbourhood of the offices of the Association who scraped together, with the assistance of friends, the sum of 400/., which she handed over to the managers for the promise of an an nuity that would enable her to abate her exertions in her avocation as old age advanced, was in a state bor dering upon madness. An aged and infirm man who came up to town in an exhausted condition by the rail road, told his melancholy story. He had sunk ail ha had in the world, amounting to 1,0001., in the " West Middlesex," and he had now no alternative but the workhouse, except, indeed, what was probable, the madhouse should be considered the proper place for him. Such were a few of the instances of misery wit nessed at the house, which the landlord declared he would shut up, as he could not endure such desperate distress as was every moment exhibited in Baker-street. Sir PETER LAURIE said he had observ e d t h at M r. Godson had given notice of some proceedi ngs w i t h re spect to a u the s e such regulations to be obse rve d with respect wouldc to all associations to which the property of people is likely to be entrusted, as would throw responsibility upon ' Directors and Managers of character and unexception able pecuniary means. Here was . an instance of extra ordinary success upon the part of a set of pen n yl ess ad venturers, in plundering multitudes of persons of the profits of labour and years, and a :initial- species of depredation might be commenced to-morrow. Mr. Farquhar said that lords and ladies were in cluded amongst the dupes of the Association, The Managers had shown such active resentment when the Scotch litformcrs' Gazelle attacked th em, that many of the victims not only believed that the gentlemen who conducted the affairs of the Company were maligned, but congratulated them upon the legal m eans adopte d to punish the libeller. The following letter, which was written by one of the sufferers, who would not credit any imputation upon the honour of the " Vest Mid dlesex," would be read with curiosity : " New Romney, Oct. 12, IS-10. "Sir,—l have paid my half-year's premium to your agent at Dover (Mr. Pierson), who has sent me a re ceipt in due form. lam much obliged b y your prompt information relating to the article in the Scotch Paper to which I requested your attention, and h ave not fail e d to put both Mr. Hopkins and Mr. kelehl ee in posses sion of it. I do not know the name of the Paper in which it appeared, as it was cut out and sent to me, but should immediately recognise it if the Journal was placed in my hands. I wish the Office every success in their prosecution of the Editor, and shall feel obliged if you kindly inform me of the result. By a " cotton circular" of the 4th ult. from New Or leans, addressed to a leading house from Liverpool, it ap pears that the reports from the Ist of October to the 31st of December, 1840, were 108,766 bales to Great Britain, 46,274 bales to France, and 58,560 bales coastwise, mak ing a total of 213,600 bales against 220,546 bales during the same period in 1839, made up of the following quan tities : —95,111 bales tl Great Britain, 91,312 bales to France, and 34,123 bales coastwise. The receipts from the Ist of October to the 31st of December, 1840, were 288,406 bales from Louisiana and Mississippi, 16,651 ba'es from Alabama and Tennessee, and 4,309 bales from other ports, making a total of 309,366 bales. In the same pet iod in 1839 there were 296 189 bales from Louisiana and Mis!-isiippi, 27,931 bales from Alabama and Tennes- F.C2, and 6.147 bales from ether ports, making a total of 330,267 bales. SUN.—We have to notice an improvement in the Funds to-day, the purchases both on bona fide and speculative account having increased. Consols ad vanced to 881 and 88,i for Money, and to 884 and 88i for Account, the Market closing firmly. Exchequer Bills realised sr. to 7s. premium, and . India Bonds were done at 15s. discount. Bank Stock was steady at 164. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cent. An nuities were at 97i to 93e. The Foreign Funds were a shade better, but they did not participate in the buoyancy of the English Se curities. Spanish Active Bonds were 23i to 24 ; Por tuguese New Five per Cents. 31i ; Mexican, 271- ; Colombian, 22i to 224 ; Buenos Ayres, 25 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 50i to 504. There was a disinclination to operate in Shares, and the only bargains were in Brighton Railway, at 6i ; Croydon, at 1 ; North Midland, at 261 ; and Bristol and Exeter, at 331 to 321 discount. Anti-Dry-rot Re gistered Shares were 161- discount. There was to-day again a slight pressure for money in the discount market. The Belgian Government has reason to congratulate itself upon having obtained the remainder of its loan. Letters of the 12th inst. from Hamburgh bring the exchange on London for three months' bills still at 13 3, and the price of gold at 424. The advices by the Dutch mail of Wednesday report a dull market for stocks at Amsterdam. DUEL.—Yesterday a hostile meeting took place between Colonel Patterson, of the East India service, and Robert Mark Marsden, Esq., of Park Lodge, Re gent's Park. The parties met in a field at the back of the Eyre Arms Tavern, at daybreak, and exchanged shots without effect. The seconds then interfered and en deavoured to reconcile the gentlemen, but, not suc ceeding, the parties were again placel on the ground. At the second fire the ball from Mr. Marsden's pistol took effect on the right wrist of the gallant ColoLel, which was severely shattered. The affair then terminated. The misunderstanding arose from a political dispute between the parties, the Colonel having asserted at a dinner party, in the presence of Mr. M., that the supporters of Mr. O'Connell were "political scoundrels," and Mr. M., who a warm advocate of the O'Connell principles, applying the term to himself, called upon the gallant Colonel to apologise, which being refused, the affair was settled in the above manner.—Montthig Post. AWFUL FlItE.--A dreadful fire recently broke out at the mill of Mr, M'Clelland near Derby. Of seven persons who were dreadfully burned, two have since died. The damage done to the property is not considerable. At one time, when all hope of getting the lire under was past, a simultaneous To sh was made to the door, which unfortuLately had, contr. try to custom, been locked ; but owing to the excitement; consequent on their situation, now that they were liter: ally roasting alive, joined tl the sense of suffocation exp erienced, it was some time before any of them could lay Aria hand on the key ; but, this done, a poor fellow, ir, Isis maddened eagerness to get it turned, pulled it out ()Y . .the lock, and, it falling from his protracted their su ff er inge, and made their situa tion still move perilo ts.! . But, as God would ha ve it (a few seconds or, at mo a t, a f ew minutes more, and all would have been over vvith thea ), the key was found, the door unlocked, and as. many as could rushed out, and some of them had to recent to dra g out the remaind..:r ci the suf ferers, who, Itavinr , been; overpowered by the flames end smoke, had tallen'down. " I am, Sir, yours, very obediently, 11. B. WALKER. "I felt it, my duty to the dice, as well as to mysel f and neighbours, to inform them of the impression-pro duced here by the article in question. Sir P. LAURIE requested that his correspondents on the subject of the " West Middlesex," would make al- PRICE sd. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY, The betting yesterday afternoon was confined to a select number, and prored excessively dull and uninterest ing. The only fluctuation cf any moment was in Came lion, who reached 20 to 1, which was taken to 1001. The same sum was laid out in two bets, on Vringo, at 18 to 1, and as much, in one bet, on the Rosalie colt at 16 to 1. at which figure three or four were willing, to invest ; the offers at the close did not in any instance ex ceed 15 to 1. Coronation was mentioned early in the after noon, when 18 to 1 would have been takea ; nothing was heard of him afterwards, but we do not think that more than 17 to 1 would hays been laid. The Knight of the Whistle was not so good a favourite as on Monday, and in a bet to a pony agst Palmmon an addition was made to the odds last quoted. Wahab was backed for fifty, and Ermengardis for one hundred pounds at the prices attached to their names, and two or three others were backed for petty amounts.

HANOVER, FEB. 7.—Nothing certain has transpired concerning the Convocation of the Estates. It is be lieved that the Session will be very short, and that no thing will be brought forward besides the Budget.

NEW ELECTION OF A COMMON COUNCILMAN FOR COLEMAN.STREET WARD. Yesterday a wardtnote ;as held in the ward of Cole man-street, for the election of a Common Councilman, the election of Mr. Cousins having been declared by the Court of Aldermen null and void. Mr. CARTER proposed Mr. Cousins again to the ward, and Mr. Roberts seconded the nomination, de claring at the same time that whatever ground might have existed for believing that the honourable candidate was ineligible on the former occasion, there was now no doubt whatever of his eligibility, and a person better qualified could not be found. Mr. PHILLIPs proposed Mr. Bracher as a candidate of high respectability, who had been for 28 years a re sident of the ward, and had filled all the (Ace? with great credit to himself. Mr. LECREN seconded the nomination. Mr. PERKINS said it had been reported that Mr. Cousins was not qualified. There was not the slightest foundation for that report, for his name was on the rate•books, together with that of his partner, for nine years, as having paid scot, and it could not be said that he had not borne lot, for his partner had acted as constable, and that was tantamount to service by himself. Upon a shoo: of hands, the majority was declared to be in favour of Mr. Bracher, whereupon a poll was de• manded for Mr. Cousins. The contest is expected to be a very sharp one. THE BRITISH LEGION.—The last remnant of this gallant force, numbering one hundred and fifty, ar rived here on 'Wednesday from Santander, from which they sailed about three weeks since. Note, ithatandiug their severe service for the last few years, and the rough wea ther they experienced during their voyage, they appeared for the most part a tolerable corps of young men, in good condition, comfortably clad. Many of them arc natives of Dublin, Cork, and Limerick, where they proceeded on Thursday. They were accompanied from Santander by two Lieutenants and a physician, and betrayed no symp toms of regret in abandoning the perilous feats of arms, in which they bore so active a part during the recent civil war in Spain, for whatever way of life fortune may lead them to henceforward. We understand that their demands on the Spanish Government have been liquidated, partly in gold, and partly by acknowledgments under the band of Espartero. lVaterford Chronicle. OTAHEITE SUGAR-CANE.—At the same meeting, a communication was brought forward from Mr. Dearman, Secretary to the Dacca Branch Society, stating that there is a new crop cf twelve beegahs, of eighty cubits square, in sugar-cane, and rather more than three beegahs remaining of rattoons, only part in Otaheite, which Mr. Dcarmaa regrets, as ho has found that all the canes from the former year's stores have degenerated, with the exception of the Otaheitc, which has, so far from fall ing off, produced finer canes than those of the present sea son's planting. Under these circumstances Mr. Dearman considers that the Otaheite cane, on the Dacca high lands, if properly attended to, would yield crops for several suc cessive years. The other kinds, such as the Munnypore, the Singapor,-, the Batavian, and two indigenous kinds, ap pear to be mere annuals. Mr. Dearman feels sure that the many thousand beegahs of high waste land lying near Decca, and beyond the reach of inundation offer a mine of wealth to any one having the means and disposition to engage in the cult:vation of the Otaheite cane.—East Indian Telegraph. ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.—The sixty seventh anniversary festival of this excellent Society was celebrated on Wednesday evening at the Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street. The company was larger than we have seen it fer,same years past, upwards of 300 gentle men bring present. The usefulness of this Society t s i o apparent, that it is evidently rising mation. The activity di;played by its agents in public es ti. the preservation of life during the la te frost is univer sally allowed to have been most remarkable. The nume roush instances in the Annual Report in whic h their exer tions have been accompanied by complete success, arc eminently preisewerthy. He nr y Nem b le, Esq., M. P., was in the chair, supporte d b y Ben j amin Hare?, E sq., M. P. , Mr. Antrobus, bl. P , Mr. C. Lushington, M.P., the Hon. Mr. Baron Gurney, the Bishop of Nor ,vie &c. On the removal of the cloth, her Majesty's health was drunk with the usu al honours. The Chairman, i n proposing the toast, alluded happily to the recent firmness calmness . , and intrepidity displaced by her Mitesty on a recent instance of apprehended danger to her illuEtriatis consort, by the breaking of the ice in the Pa'ace-gardenF. The company responded to the sentiment with hearty ac clamations. The health of Prince Albert and the Prin_ c eis Royal followed , am idst loud and repeated appla use . The usual loyal toa.ts followed. Honorary me d a lli ons were then awarded to various indi N id ua l s, seventeen in number, who had distinguished tbemselvei by more thou ordinary intrey,idity in the preservation of human life, when in danger of death by drowning. Mr. Benjamin Hares, Sen., then read the report of the subscription. Amongst the names announced were those Duke of Northumberland, 100 •of her Majesty . the guinea's; Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., 10 guineas ; Mr. Antrobus 10 guineas ; in all arnnti the Chairman, 20 guineas, & c. ; wards of 7001.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec hots, which fer some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the of dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by-whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT. a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

The Report of the Visiting Justices of this prison stated that it at present contained 74 male and 28 female pri soners, total 102 : and the gratifying fact that there was only one prisoner in the infirmary. On the motion that the report be received, Mr. A RaisTßoNt; rose to call the attention of the Court to a statement contained in a former report of the Visiting Justices. He alluded to the treatment of Elizabeth Showles, a prisoner, who, it appear e d, was d e li vere d of a child at eight o' c l oc k in the evening of the 31st of Decem ber, without any medical aid ; and that, on the 14th of January, she was, by the order cf the surgeon of the pri son, forwarded to a police-office to undergo an examina tion on the charge for which she was sent to prim. It appeared thLt the surgeon c f the prison, when informed that the prisoner had been delivered of a child, and re quested to attend her, said that he should not visit the prison again th.t night, and that be did not see the pri soner ut one o'clock in the afternoon of the following day. He hoped that some explanation of this un.t'er would be given by some of the Visiting Justices portent. Mr. DYER, as one of the Visiting Justices, said he was anxious to state what had come to their knowledge. He believed that the surgeon, on the occasion in question, had done no more than had frequently been done before; as a proof of whist be would state that it appeared, from an of ficial document win he then had in his hand, that within the last five year cvanty women had been removed from that priion been delivered of children within an average of fift from-their confinement. The Rev.:T. .'ms slid It was notorious that many poor women resu -ficir household duties within fifteen days after they 10.-_,iiiven birth to a child. Mr. DYER said that neither mother nor child had so,- tained anOric*venience from the rew ,- nal in question, and, therefore:so far the surgeon of the prison was not to blame, although he certainly acted wrong in not going to the prison when sent far to attend the woman, a fact which he himself admitted, and for which he was.extremely sorry, end had promised that it should never occur &tr ' ain. Mr. TULE th ou ght th at t h e surgeon ought not to be al lowed to shelter himself under the plea that nothing unto ward had occurred in the present case. Mr. PowNm.t. thought that the past services of the sur geon entitled him to the indulgent consideration of the Court, notigh he would admit that Le had acted extremely wrong in not atleading tic woman when he was sent for ; because nothing could excuse a medical man in not attend ing a woman under such circumstances. Here the matter Cropped. COCONERS AND PARISH OFFICERS. Mr. ARMi , TRONG brougitt forward t:te following- motion, of which he 11 td given notice :—" Tllitt it be referred to a Commi•tae to cammunimte with the Secretary of State for the Home Department and the Commissiomrs of Me tropoli as Police on the expedie :cy of the force under the control of the Commissioners being in future em ployed in attneing the C, romrs' Courts, summoning the Juries, and diieLrging all other duties rola ive to the hold ing of inquests, heretofore pet farmed by the parochial constr - bles, with a 1 , -ever to the efficient and uniform discharge of those duties, and the saving a great and unnecessary ex pense to Vie county consequent on the ►'resent system, and to report thereon to the Court as speedily as possible." After a brief discussion, tie motion of Mr. Armstrong was carrie IRISH PAI'PERS, A long discussion t lca took place on Cze reading of a letter from the Pocr-law Commissioners re;ative to the present more of passing Irish paupers to their native country. It a , peared that by the preent system the paupers in question wire raised either to Dubin ir Cork, and left ti find thtir .t.= ay to the pruiihes to which they belonged as Hell as they could, with money f,,rrished them Er that purp):,e, instead of being forwareel to the place cf their F ettlexent. The consequence.,ia many stances , A as, that :Ley returned to England with the money so given them, and in a she rt time again became charge able to parishes in this country. The tu`...ject has referred to a Committee. The Court then adjourned. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. Handers Oratorio, Judas Maccabees, was performed last night at Exeter Hall, to a very crowded and ad mirir4_; audience. To shorten the performance several recitatives were omitted, but notwithstanding this curtail ment the audience appeared de ighted with the retained portion of this beautiful oratorio. It opened admirably with the overture, so remarkable for its fine instrumental fugue and the spirit with which it led on to a highly wrought and effective conclusion. The oratorio may rank amongst the masterpieces of Handel, and it contains many airs of great beauty and expression, and a host of chorusses almost uniformly vigorous or grand. Although Turner performed the parts assigned to him very credit ably, we could not but miss the absence of Phillips. MiQs 13i'ch was most enthusiastically, and justly, cheered, i " Pious Or g'ei," which she gave with great effect. Miss Lucombe 4#01.4, „very .graesful and fanciful air " Wise Wen Flattering" with much delicacy and great expres sior, but her voice has inequalities of tone which she can not too earnestly endeavour to correct. Although we have witnessed the performance of this splendid oratorio better sustained in important parts, yet it was, on the whole, as well and as impresiv(ly, and with as much pre cision and effect, given last nigut, as on any of the many occasions on which we have been delighted with this deli cious treat. TIIE ELGIN BURGHS.--The statement men tioned in our last number, that tha Hon. Fox Maule had conseat3d to stand again as a czvalidate fur the represen (alien of the Elgin burghs, caused a strong sensation hire, and no little rejoicing among our Conservative friends, as it was obvious that a division of the Liberal ranks with Sir Andrew Leith Hay would have the effe;tt of returning Mr. Duir, the Conservative candi We now learn from en elector, that, though a requi,itian was set on foot to Mr. Minsk, that gentleman has no intention of stanC ing autin fur these burghs, and will tv• no party to a divi sion of the Liberal ranks. " Time is no doubt of the fact," says our correspondent, " teat Mr. Maule has de clined to stand again, or be any party to divide the Li o ral interest." In this eve Sir Andrew will be returne fur there is a large majority of Liberals in the district. Inverness Courier. HOUSE OF LORDS.—The whole of the fittings up of the House of Lords for the trial of the Earl of Car digan were on Wednesday removed in a few It mrs by the workmen employed under the Commissioners of Woods nod Forests. The woolsack and all the benches were taken out, the floor stripped of the carpet:. and the new gall:ries entirely dismantled, nothing remaHr,g of ill the tempo rary accommodations, except that part m hich had he. added to the strargers' gallery, by throwit g it forward several feet. The gentleman who had the direction of the workmen announced to some members cf the press who happened to be on the spot, that it was iniendad to appro print!, this projection to the use cf Members of the House of Commons, an arrangement which would be pia.- ductii e of the greste t iacomenience to the reporters, so their station then would be in the centre of a crowd of persons whose conversation and whi,peri , gs would tender it impossible to hear distinctly %Ilia passes in the House. Tha representitiie of the Woods and Forests, on being made acquainted with this serious objection, said he lira received orders from Lord Duncannon, to afford every facility to the gentlemen of the Press, and he would thaefore partition off about one-!bird of the new front gallery from th it designed fur the use of Members of the House of Commons. The reporters would then have a series of short seats, one behind the other, capable of hold ing about three in a row. The effect of this would be, that not half of them would find seats, and those in the front row only would have the proper accommodation fur performing their duty ; and, moreover, constant interrup tion would arise from passing in and out, and crossing each other's places. In fact, such a plan would be much more inconvenient than useful. If it is necessary that some of the Members of the other House should bepro. sided with a place in the Strangers' Gallery in tbe frontouse of Lords, surely it is not too much to ask that the hi row should be given up to those of Which their portant business, the properperformance . din as the country at large, Lordships arc as much interested b who have to execute by securing to the re and must desire to have promoted complaining of omissions i the e new gallery Noble Lords which wish i y l phoavrteerhsadtheellsaamleengpoisnittiobneto have frequent let them countenance the and mistakes in their speeches, if they • Woods and Forests; wish to be heard plan of the understood,let them insist upon the front row of the and Hotted to the Press.

A surgeon, named Roby, was heard by the Court in April last, and remanded for a p er i o d o f e i ght months from the vesting order. He brought an action against Messrs. Moss and Humphries, solicitors, for false impri sonment, on making a criminal charge against him, and afterwards arresting him in a civil action. The Jury awarded the damages at 4001. which were on a rule, wad by consent reduced to 2001. against Mr. Moss, and the the costs of Mr. Humphries were ordered to be paid, amounting to 251. 3s. 2d., making the sum to be received 1741. his. 10d. The assignee of the insolvent applied to the Court to obtain the money, or a portion, for the bene fit of the creditors, set forth in the schedule, and the Court granted a rule on the parties to hold the same un til further order, and one on the insolvent to show cause against the present application. Mr. Roby stated that he was out of practice, and had from the time of his remand supported himself and a family of a wife and three chil dren. The sums he had b , rrowed of the new creditotaa including Mr. Boydell, amounted to 157/. Os., and that aentlernan had a claim for extra costs in the action and for other business, which would exced 451. The insol vent further stated in his affidavit that he bad lately brought an action for slander against the assignee, and his opinion was that Mr. Moss and his assignee were acting in con cert in the a pplication now before the Court. Affidsvits front the new creditors were read, showing the sums bor rowed, and one from Mr. Boydell, of his claim on the da mages, and his further debt mentioriel The Court or dered that under the present rule the sum of 601. out of the damages should be paid to the assignee making the application: The annual ball of the Ward of Portsoken, in aid of the Aldgate Benevolent Institution, was celebrated on Tuesday last at the London Tavern, on which occasion the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs honoured the entertainment with their presence ; a numerous and elegant aPernbißge was alto present, amounting to nearly 300 persons. _ _._„ for itr A 0 llt to U.
