For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe cific sum, without a prof3pective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the parti cipating scale, ONE-HALF OF THE PREMIUMS MAY REMAIN ON INTEIIEST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 500/. only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of 1001., one-half of whic'n may remain for five years by merely paving the interest annually at 5 per cent. ; and should the policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

The Policies are Ind, •feasible and Indisputable, unless they have been obtained by fr audulent misrepresentations. Any important mistake, or even an unintentional omission, in communicating infor citation, in answer to the numerous questions put by other C ompanies, has the effect of annulling the policy, and forfeiting ; the premiums—thus rendering it in general a matter of uncr Ttainty (until the claim comes to be made) whether the po [icy be of any value. The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Assurance Company, determined to obviate whas they cons ider injustice to the assured, satisfy themselves upon the various questions proposed by them before they enter into the cent vact of assurance, and frame their po licies in such terms as to preclude all future questions as to their validity, and thus ; reader them indefeasible and indisput able documents of futui re debt against the Company. The po licies of this Company may, therefore, be regarded as certain available future funds , and as unimpeachable and negotiable documents for pecuni: ay transactions. One-half of the P remiums may remain Unpaid for Seven Years, affording a g , seater facility for Loan Transactions and Family Provisions t' nan any other plan which has been sug gested—allowing a Policy to he dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice—and , entitling the Assured at a future period, when loss of healt h may prevent him from obtaining a New Assurance, to cont intro a Policy for double the amount of the sum for which he h as paid Premiums. Parties may be a ssured either upon the participating or nor.- participating plan ; the former are entitled to the whole of the profits upon that bra nch of the business, and the latter are as sured for the lowest premiums compatible with perfect security. The usual Comr aission allowed to Solicitors and Agents, and Medical Gentle: .nen are in all cases remunerated fix their reports. DOUBLE PATEN T PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND.

" The exclusion of a public prosecutor establishes an arbitrary dispensing power in the. voluntary . prose cuter. An exclusive power of reclaiming the execu tion of the laws lays them, as far as it extends, at the feet of the person thus endowed. It gives him the equivalent to a negative in legislation ; it gives him more ; it gives hini in each individual instance of their execution, the sole initiative. It gives him, couse• quently, not only the power of pardoning, but a power much greater than that of pardoning. It gives him a power greater than the power so called, as exercised by the King of England. That monarch's power of p•ardon ing extends not to the saving a man from prosecution : even when it precedes conviction (a sort of pardon rarely granted), it must be pleaded; and the plea cannot be preferred till the prosecution has been begun, and the grounds of it made public. The difference is no slight matter. In the one case the delinquent can be saved from so much only of the punishment as goes by the name of pu&shment ; to the portion of infamy naturally adherent to the offence it leaves him still exposed : in the other case, he may be saved not only from the punishment but from the infamy. A direct power of pardon, while it takes away the nominal punish. ment, aggravates instead of mitigating the infamy- It is a sort of certificate of guilt ; for who would be pardoned, if he could be acquitted ? By attracting the public attention, it renders the infamy proportionably extensive, and gives it redoubled force. A direct power of pardoning, exposed as it is thus by the nature of things to public inspection, has not anything like the capacity for harbouring abuse,. The indirect faculty of pardoning here in question, by being so inconsiderable in show, is but the greater in effect. Its power of mis el.ief has no bounds ; at first glance you might suppose it confined to corrupt or ill-judged lenity ; in fact, it is ❑ot a whit less adapted to the purpose of oppression : for whoever ca❑ license oppression, can oppress."— Bentham. The Constabulary Force Commissioners, in their Report, give the following example of the injurious effects of the power of dispensing with the law, arising from the neglect of the principle, " that prosecutions should be conducted by a public prosecutor." In Bristol, of 201 persons taken into custody by the police for felonies committed between April Ist and 31st October, 1837, in all which cases the parties refused to prosecute, it appears that upwards of one-fourth of these, or 53, were cases in which the offenders set at large were reputed thieves. Of these 1 had been previously in custody 7 times. 9 . . 3 53 reputed thieves. The consequences of this course of proceeding, as admitted by the Superintendent iu his evidence, is, " that it increases crime. Because those parties com mitting those robberies go and commit four or five more robberies before they are detected. If they were prosecuted they would be prevented doing any more mischief." Speaking of the of known thieves living at large in Bristol, lie states :—" Sveral of those thieves have been in this situation brought before the magistrate and let off in consequence of the refusal to prosecute."— Examiner. THE ARCHIMEDIAN SCREW PROPELLER ABOUT TO BE TESTED ON A LARGE SCALE. The Archimedian screw-propeller has of late been the subject of protracted discussion and controversy in the newspapers and leading scientific journals, and we scarcely remember any invention respecting the merits of which *uch opposite judgments have been pronounced. Whilst it has been confidently asserted on the one hand that this mode of propulsion is not adapted for vessels of large ton nage, although it may be rendered available for small er ift and for canal boats, it has been as confidently main tained on the other hand that the Archimedian screw is preferable to the ordinary paddle-wheels for vessels of any dimensions ; and if report, hitherto uncontradicted, can be relied on, a Company has been formed at Bremen for the construction of large steamers to be fitted up with this kind of machinery, and intended to ply between that city and New York. The screw-propeller, however, is about to he applied on a gigantic scale, which will put its capabilities to a severe trial, as the Mammoth, on which the experiment is to be made, is the largest steam-vessel in the world, being of no less burden than 3,600 tons, with 1,000-horse steam power. As the subject is perhaps as im portant as any that can claim the attention of the public, we shall here transcribe a passage from the Annual Report of the Great Western Ship Company, read at their meet ing held at Bristol on the 11th inst.:— " The Directors, having satisfied themselves that it would be for the interests of the Company to get rid of the paddle in their iron ship, and to substitute a propeller upon the principle of the Archimedian screw, have taken the necessary measures for that purpose ; the slight altera tions required in her frame were easily effected, and at a trifling cost. The published reports of Captain Chap pell, made by order of the Commissioners of the Admi ralty, supported by the opinions of men of the highest classes in the naval service, and a careful examination of the performances of the Archimedes whilst in Bristol, excited the anxious attention of the Directors. Mr. Brunel, the Company's consulting engineer, entered closely into the investigation, as one most important to science, and to their interests ; the owners of the Archi medes most liberally placed her at his disposal for the purpose of experiments, and the Directors were allowed to send confidential persons to sea in her to register ob servations on some points of primary importance in steam navigation, in reference to which, the performances of the Great Western had already possessed them of invaluable data. The result of a most elaborate report by Mr. Bru nel left no doubt on the mind of the Board, and they congratulated the proprietors on circumstances having al lowed them to avail themselves of this great improvement in science, which will still enable them to maintain the advantages gained by the hitherto unequalled character of their first ship." The present state of the civilized world, as it is styled, renders the subject before us of paramount importance. Notwithstanding the moderation and good faith which characterize the British Government in all its transac- tions with foreign States, there is too much reason to fear that the peace of the world will, at no distant period, he disturbed by the ambition or aggression of some of the nations with whom we arc at present in a state of very precarious amity. Whatever can be done to avoid the menaced rupture by the pacific and honest policy of the British Cabinet, without a compromise of the honour and fair interests of the nation, we confidently believe may he anticipated from the present Ministers, who have signally evinced their earnest determination to avoid, it possible, that most awful of all human calamities,—an appeal to arm'. Recent circumstances, however, justify the apprehension that all the moderation and forbearance of our Cabinet may be unavailing, and that, in self-defence, England may, ere long, be compelled to resort to the ultimo ratio egurn,—the argument of force. Whenever that catastrophe shall become inevitable, WQ must look to our navy as our main dependence, and steam vessels of war will, no doubt, become as numerous as they will be indispensable. The advantages of such vessels in chase or in action are too obvious to require any explana. tion, but it must be equally obvious that the paddle-wheels of the present construction arc peculiarly liable to be de ranged and rendered useless by the enemy's cannon, and hence the vast importance of the Archimedian principle of propulsion, provided it should be found capable of adop- tion without too great sacrifice of speed. This is the main point which remains to be ascertained, and the pro blem is about to be solved by the application of the screw propeller to a vessel like the Mammoth. The screw, being under water, parallel to the keel of the vessel, will be in much less danger of derangement from shot than the paddle-wheels; and if this kind of apparatus shall be found capable of impelling the vessel in other respects as well, or nearly as well, as the present machinery, no ordi nary ships of war can have any chance, either in attack or defence, with vessels fitted up upon this principle.—Liver pool Mercury. SOUNDING THE SEA BY ELEC- TRO-MAGNETISM. Electricity is daily extending its sphere of ol:erations, and is beccming more and more extensively applicable to useful purposes. We have this week seen an ingenious apparatus contrived by Mr. Bain, the inventor of the elec trical clock, for the purpose of taking soundings at sea by electre-magnetic power. At present great difficulty exists, when taking soundings in deep water, in ascertaining I the exact time the weight strikes the ground. The object of Mr. Bain's contrivance is to obviate this difficulty, and he accomplishes it in the following manner. To the bottom of the hammer of a bell i 3 attached a piece of soft iron, which is placed opposite an electro-magnet; and it is so ar ranged that whets the. communication between the coils of wire round the magnet and galvanic battery is completed, the magnet attracts the iron and holds ' back the hammer. As soon as the connexion is broken the magnetic power ceases, and the hammer, acted on by a spring, strike 3 upon the bell. This part of the appa ratus is intended to remain on the deck of the vessel when the soundings are made. The insulated wires from the galvanic battery, properly protected from the action of water, serve for the cord to which the weight is to be attached. The manner in which the weight is fixed on, so as to complete or break the connec tion between the ends of the wires is extremely simple and ingenious. When the pressure of the weight bears on the hook, the electrical current is uninterrupted, and the magnet keeps the hammer from the bell ; but when the weight rests on the ground, the con nectien i 3 broken ; the attraction of the magnet in stantly ceases, and the hammer, being thus liberated, is forcel against the bell by the spring. It would thus indicate with the utmost precision the moment the weight reaches the bottom of the sea. The apparatus is to be added to the numerous curiosities at the Polytechnic Institution. Its efficacy has been tested in the deep reser voir in which the diving-bell descends. The inventor has been prevented from protecting his property in this inven tion by the expense of obtaining a patent, but, we trust, if his plan be found to succeed in practice, of which wo have little doubt, that he will not go unrewarded. —lnventor's Advocate. ANECDOTE OF MEHEMET ALI.—A short time since a young man had been sent over to obtain a knowledge of engineering; whilst resident here his mind became enlightened, and tie was led to embrace the Chris tian faith. On his return to Alexandria he made no scruple of avowing his new sentiments, although he was surrounded by a host of persecutors; those persons, how ever, one day brought him before Mehemet Ali, saying : " We beg to bring a case before your Highness, in which you will be called on to act as supreme judge : this man was a Mahomedan by birth and faith ; he was sent to England, where he abandoned his own re ligion, and embraced that of the Christians, and, therefore, by our law he ought to die ; all that is necessary is to enter into a judicial course of inquiry, to bring forward facts, and to establish and au thenticate them, and then if the case be proved, it remains with your Highness to enforce the penalties of the law." Well, the case was gone through, the facts were all proved, till at length the young man was asked by Mehemet Ali " have you embraced Christianity ?" The young man gut up, and with an intrepidity which a consciousness of being r.'ght inspired, and with the grace of God, which, when it finds its way to the heart, always enables a man to face his greatest enemies, said, "lam a Christian." The next question put by Mehemet Ali was, " Why have you em braced Christianity ?" when he made this noble reply, "Do you ask me why I embraced Christianity ?—my reason is this : I embraced it because I believe it to be true." His enemies around him then said " What need have we of further argument : he has acknowledged his guilt ; nothing r mains now but that your Highness should particularize the sentence." Mehemet Ali said "All the circumstarces that have been brought forward have been clearly estab lis'ned, but with respect to this young man, I beg leave to state that I know him well; he was sent to England to learn ern; ineering ; he learnt that science ; he came back again, has been employed in that service, and has proved himself a minable member of society; I find him still in that place where I employed him. It appears that he has changed his religion, but I do not find that in doing so he has acted from any unworthy motive ; he continues to perform his duties satisfactorily, and with reference to his change in r eligion, I shall leave him to settle that matter between God and his own conscience."—That young man is now going about the streets of Alexandria, a noble monument of the liberality of Mehemet Ali.—London East India Telegraph. THE CONVICT MlSTER.—Mister has eons fessed nothing; but he has made an admission, acciden , tally, which almost amounts to a confession ; for he ha; stated that a part of Mr. Nlackreth's evidence is utterly false, leaving it to be inferred that the remainder is true ; for no one could judge of the truth or falsehood but himself. This slip is of a piece with his unhappy admission at Lud low, when introduced for the first time to his victim, Mr. Maekreth, when he thoughtlessly addressed him thus— " When you found my hand on your throat "—then suddenly checking himself, he thus varied his question— " When you found a man's hand on your throat, could you tell whether he was dressed or not ?" This slip we noted down carefully at the time it was made, on the exa mination before the Magistrates in Ludlow ; but, unwilling to increase the odium attaching to the unhappy prisoner, we . did not detail it in our report of that examination, till no w the verdict of the Jury has rendered it unnecessary to snake any concealment. —Shrewsbury Chronicle. .ADELPIII THEATRE. — This popular place of amusement closed on Friday, when Mr. Yates delivered the customary farewell address, and announced that it would open again on Monday, the 20th of September. PRICE sd. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. PROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. _ ..._ . TIMES.—It appears that what passecfai;he late meet ing of Portuguese bondholders on the 28th ult., as de scribed under this head, has conveyed an erroneous impres sion of the extent to which the Committee of the Stock Exchange are disposed to support the views of those who took the lead at Oat meeting. The Committee, in fact, have never expressed any opinion on the propriety or other wise of the conversion of the bonds, and have merely as sured the parties concerned that they would act in this case strictly up to the spirit of their former regulation, so often before adverted to, when the bad faith of the Spaniah Government became a matter of public question, and in which they have declared that they will not sanction or take any cognizance whatever .of bargains that may be made in new bonds or stock, or aly other securities, issued by any foreign Government that has not duly paid the dividends on former loans raised in this country, unless that Government shall have made some satisfactory arrangement with the holders of such stock or bonds, or other securities, on which the dividends shall have been left in arrcar." In the face of such a communication from the Committee, it was certainly too much to say that their support had been secured to the re sistance to the proposed conversion, but it may come to the same thing in the end, if the " arrangement" shall not be found satisfactory to the holders of the stock generally. This law of the Committee is a very judicious one, and has, indeed, always been mentioned with commendation whenever any circumstances have brought it into public notice. The English Stock-market was fully sustained by the intelligence published this morning of the receipt of de spatches from Mr. Fox, so fully confirmatory of the pacific statements in the " Genevese Traveller's" letter. From the commencement of business speculation was for the rise, and another advance' of nearly i per cent. took place, so that there has been a rise (a very unusual one of late) of nearly 1 per cent. within these last two days. At the close of the market, prices were a shade lower than at their highest quotation, but the dec:ine was so very trivial that It could only be supposed one of those ordinary reactions which usually follow as important rise. There is no pres sure for money in the Stock Exchange, but nevertheless it fetches about 4 to 4i per cent. A correspondent writes to show the commercial con dition of Beyrout, where, he says, there i 3 at present a brisk demand for British manufactures. The cessation of importation during the war caused the old stocks to go off at good prices. Lebanon is tranquil, though Naplous and the south of Syria are in rather an unsettled condi tion, and the caravan routs from Beyrout to Damascus, and from Scanderoon to Aleppo, are said to be as secure as before the war, while the inhabitants are industriously cul tivating the rich alluvial plains of the Bekaa, which is the granary of central Syria. Silk, which is the sta ple article of the coast, is unfortunately unfit for the European market, owing to a defective system of winding, and this presents an obstacle in the way of its trade with Europe. Now, however, operations are carried on to effect an improvement, and are expected to prove successful, the war having been the great inter ruption to progress. On the whole, the removal of Me heinet Ali's power over Syria is regarded as beneficial, and as causing a more healthy action in the country, while there scents to be none of that anarchy which some had pre disted from the downfall of the Fade's rule. The gallant conduct of Captain Douglas, and his re ceiving the Order of Knighthood, have brought to naiad the case of Sir Nathaniel Dance, wo was similarly re warded for his action with the French squadron during the time of the r. A correspondent is in eri or, by sup posing the case of Sir N. Dance was overlooked, when Captain Douglas was said to be the first officer of a private merchant-ship so honoured, as a reference to the paragraph to wh'ch he alludes will show that a distinction is made between officers in the East India Company's service and those of merely private merchantmen, and that it is only as being the first knighted officer of the latter clads that Captain Douglas is specified. CHRONICLE.—The defalcation of Abbott, one of the official assignees in the Court of Bankruptcy is at tended with circumstances . so important to the rights and interests of creditors as to render a strict inquiry neces sary, not only into his affairs, but into the system under which the moneys belonging to bankrupts are managed by such officials, and the extent to which they are permitted to retain these moneys in their hands. Abbott is said to have absconded with a very large amount of public pro perty. It is difficult in such cases to ascertain the amount. We have heard it stated in the present case at so large a sum that we decline to name it; but if any very considerable amount should turn out to have been due to creditors of bankrupts, by the de faulter, it will be proven beyond all question, that there Las been remissness in some quarter. It in ordered by the Bankrupt Act that the official assignee shall " give such security and be subject to such rules as the said chief and other Judges, with the consent of the Lord Chancellor, shall direct ;" and all the personal estate and effects, and the rents and profits of the real estate, and the proceeds of sale of all the estate and effects, real and per sonal, of the bankrupt, shall in every case be possessed and received by such official assignee alone, save where it shall be otherwise directed by the said Court of Bankruptcy, or of any Judge or Commissioner thereof; and " all stock in the public funds, or of any public company, and all moneys, Exchequer Bills, India Bonds, or other public securities; and all bills, notes, and other negotiable instruments, shall be forthwith transferred, delivered, and paid by such official assignee into the Bank of England, to the credit of the Ac countant-General cf the High Court of Chancery." The Act provides that the official assignee shall " forthwith" pay in the moneys, as he receives them on account of cre ditors, to the name of the Accountant-General ; thus evincing a proper care and anxiety that their rights should not be prejudiced by the failure or dishonesty of these functionaries, leaving the manner of carrying this object into effect to such rules of Court as the Judges may see fit to frame for that purpose. Whatever these rules may be, there can be no doubt that in practice a great deal too much latitude is given to the official assignees of retain ing large sums of moneys. At present the rule, or under standing, seems to be, that the assignees being bound to find surety to the amount of 6,000!. each, arc prohibited from retaining more than 2,000!. at any one time on their private account; but if the reports be at all correct of the amount in Abbott's hands, this rule cannot have been attended to. The Commissioners must apply themselves to the subject, and take the neceasaiy means for compelling the official assignees to comply with the letter of the Bankrupt Act. Abbott has been dabbling for a long time past in all kinds of schemes and specula , tions ; and no small amount of creditors' moneys is said to have been sunk upon the Stock Exchange. The last project we have heard he was connected with was a Turki,h loan, to be secured upon the security of ce rtain revenues, which were to be specially assigned by the Sublime Porte. The docum eats are said to have been all ready, and the negotiation far advanced. Abbott must have been duped in this affair, if he advanced money on it, for every body knows that the Turkish revenues arc farmed, or sold, so that their assignment, without the con sent of the contractors, would ,`cave been good for nothing. POST.—Another meeting of the Shareholders of the British Iron Company has been held. The threatened proceedings of the Directors against defaulters in the pay ment of calls, drew together a numerous assemblage. The case submitted to counsel was read upon the occasion and the result seemed to be most satisfactory to parties so cir cumstanced; the opinion given upon the pant at issue, being to the effect, that future calls may oe resisted. Some strong resolutions were proposed and p arsed unani mously, but which are not to published until they shall have been referred to the Directors. One of them a..uttio rises the filing of a bill of discovery in the Court of Chan cery, and for the appointment of a receiver, &c. It was observed by a Shareholder that the Directors com plained that they had no reserve of funds with which to prosecute legal proceedings, upon which some members of the Stock Exchange put down their names fur handsome sums, an example that was speedily followed by many others ; and measuTes will, we understand, be immediately taken in the Court named. The Directors, it should be borne in mind, fought the battles of the Shareholders most ably and successfully up to a certain time, and, although things subsequently took an unfor,unate turn, they are net less competent, nor can ~ se suppose, from the high characters of ties individuals, that they are less indefatigable now than at any former period. We would, therefore, strongly recommend una nimity of action among the parties. Many of the present proprietors arc persons who have come into the ecaleern at the eleventh hour, and are what are called " shilling Shareholders." They cannot be great losers by their in vestments, and when they joined the wreck, they were at all events well aware of the critical nature of its position. JOAN OF ARC.—In Mr. Serle's f:lrtheoming historical romance on the subject of the Maid of Orleant, we understand that the reading world may expect a work blending in a very unusual manner the high wroiaght spir it of romance, with the severe truth of authentic hi stor y . Not only has the writer, in the leading features of his work, strictly adhered to the great facts of her extra - ordinary career, but in order to give them a fitt ill g visit and " local habitation" he has been at the pa i n s to examine every spot with which her name and deeds are historically associated, so that while the fiction of the work is used to illustrate historical tr uth, history. is employed, to give weight and consistency to the fiction. There has never been a finer subject chosen for an to- f rical romance, and Mr. Serie has alre a i y given proof o being well qualified to treat it effi c i en tly. A SLIGHT MISTAKE.—A gentleman walking on the North Terrace at Windsor, a day or two since, was suddenly stopped, before he bad proceeded more than a few yards, by the sentinel on duty (a private in the 60th Rifles), who told him he had orders to suffer nu one to proceed further. The geotieman remonstrated, of cour,e, with the guard (knowing that the whole of the North Terrace was always open to the pub lic), and asked him under whose authority be acted? " My orders," replied the sentinel, " are upon that board (pointing to the usu al written instructions) inside the sen tr y box; and n ot one step further must you proceed." The party, h av ing bad permission to exaino the board, disco vered that the instructions upon which the man was acting, referred :to the sentinels statiioned on the eastern private terrace (just in front of the Queen's private apartments). It appeared that some wag had exchanged the boards ; and had not the mistake been discovered, not one of the public during that day at least would have been permitted to have walked much more than a fowyazda on the North Terrace. The Morning Herald of Saturrday, returning to the New Poor-law question, observes :—" Of the new or amended Poor law Amendment Bill, the 18th clause contained some enormi lies of which it is not possible to speak in terms more mode rate, and yet more expressive, than those employed by Lord Granville Somerset. Of that 18th clause we will venture to say somewhat more. \Ve will venture, without a fear of con tradition, to declare it to be unequalled, in the reckless atro city of its propositions, by any summary jurisdiction effectet by modern tyranny." The Morning Chronicle says, with reference to a late publi cation drawn up under the direction of the Canada Company : —" In America generally, and Upper Canada is a highly favoured province, every industrious labourer may soon obtain a competence. The man who in this country can never hope to do more than keep himself out of the workhouse, may, by removing to Canada, by the mere exertion of his thews and sinews, become in a short time a substantial yeoman. The tale which this publication tells is calculated to carry joy into the cottagee of these islands, where at present many strong armed men carry on a cheerless struggle, day after day, with privations amounting almost to famine constantly staring them in the face. Benevolent individuals should circulate the publi cation extensively throughout the rural districts, that well-dis posed, industrious men may be enabled to profit by the body of evidence presented by the Canada Company." The Morning Post thus refers to the proceedings in Parlia ment since its opening in January last:—" What good, we ask, has the Government done in Parliament during the last ten weeks ? What abuse has it remedied, or given hope of remedying ? None. Four nights were consumed in debating a certain • rapid attempt ' of Government to remedy the ac knowledged abuses of the registration system in Ireland, hut no human being expects, or did at any time expect, that this rapid attempt ' would be successful. It was known from the first announcement of the attempt' that its real design was, not to get rid of the abuse, but to postpone or destroy the improvement which Lord Stanley had projected. This has been the great work of the Administration during its ten weeks of Parliamentary labour." The Times observes in an article on the American question : " If tne dignity of the United States require them to make formal inquiry about tho destruction of the Caroline, why did n it the same dignity impel them to demand national satisfac tion fur the punishment of their patriot intruders' at Navy Island ? The two transactions, as far as Great Britain was concerned, were precisely analogous. To call the Caroline affair ` an invasion of American territory,' in any such sense a> justly applied to the incursions of the Navy Island patriots, fomenting as they did a serious rebellion in our Canadian pro vinces, would be absolutely preposterous. On what principle the sovereignty of the American States was less compromised in the punishment of her citizens than in the destruction of a steam-boat illegally and clandestinely ministering to their ma ' chination3, we cannot at all conjecture." Tne illyrning Advertiser, in the course of a leading article suggested by the late election for St. Alban's, remarks as fol lows :—" To propose an extension of the franchise, which by increasing the number of electors, would impede the success of bribery, is in Tory estimation a misprision of treason, and to advocate the Ballot, which must at once put an end to bribery, by making it impossible to prove the equivalent in return, is denounced as the instigation of revolution. Yet until we have both an Extension of the Suffrage and the Ballot, bribery will prevail, and Election Committees of the House of Commons will be ----what we dare not name.' FROM TIIE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. (From the Globe.) Toe constitution and powers of Parliamentary Elec tion Committees underwent some discussion last even ing in the House of Commons. The soreness felt by the Tories at the failure of their attempt to•unseat Lord Listowell is increasingly manifest. This may be ac counted for on various grounds. The Grimstones, a powerful part of the Tory host, had been beaten in their stronghold, which they deemed almost impregnable ; and it would, have proved mere than consolatory under the mortification arising from the unlocked-for defeat, could they have dispossessed the invader of their family possession. Lord Listowell also held a post in her Ma jesty's Household ; and to deprive him of the sect he had ventured to contest successfully against the nominee of the house of Verulam would be peculiarly gratifying ; inasmuch as it would be easily construed into a triumph over the Court, as well as over the winning candidate. Tnat such a construction would have been placed on the decision of the, Committee, bad it been fa.vourable to their hopes, is evident. No sooner was it known . - that Lord Listowea had started as a candidate against Mr. Bond Cabbell, than the most indecorous state ments appeared as to the interest taken by the Queca in his succe3s. Inventions, equally unrestrained by decency or probability, were put forth with all the con fidence of the most direct and indisputable certainty. The very language was quoted in which her Majesty was asserted to have directed his Lordship to start as a candidate, and to gain the election by all means. The defeated candidate, in the moment of mortification, in dulged in expressions of the same kind and tendency ; and for several days the Tory journals placed no limits on their licentious imputations of unconstitu tional interference. It is therefore manifest that, had the decision of the Committee deprived Lord Listowell of his ~ eat, the triumph thus gained would have. been proclaimed in language as gross as the previous allega tions had been sweeping and unfounded. That they shoul,l have been deprived of this much-desired oppor tunity of repeating the loathsome tirades in which, at short interv,:ds, they have indulged against their Sove reign and her Court, from the day that Sir It. Peel was foiled in his attempt to become the major domo of her Court as well as the head of her Cabinet, by which the hopes of the party of entering upon office were prostrated at the very moment they regarded them as secure of attainment, was o❑ these accounts peculiarly vexatious. No sooner did they find the elec , tiou lost, than they devised the scheme of imputing bribery—bribery such as in the whole history of elec tioneering contests was never before heard of ! (From the Standard.) Mr. Blrckstone, it will be seen, moved last night for the printing of the report of the St. Alban's committee, and Mr. Thomas Buncombe added a " tit quoque" amendment, ordering the printing of the report of the Canterbury committee. Mr. Blackstone spoke of rumours that the case of St. Alban's had been compro mised ; and in confirmation of these rumours Mr. T. Duncombe remarked that the petitioner's counsel stopped the case just after having had two favourable decisions. We know not what to say of the rumours afloat ; but we are well aware that Mr. Blackstone would not allude to anything so seriously comprising the charac ter of other gentlemen upon slight grcunds : we must, therefore, believe that the rumour prevails to an extent and with a confidence of which we were not apprised. Mr. T. Duncombe's remark in confirmation of this dis graceful rumour is, however, we believe inaccurate ; but we remember, the first decision of the St. Alban's Committee was, that " the petitioner had not proved the agency of' Dr. Webster"—a decision so mon strous as fully to „tustify a Counsel in throwing up his brief, as, indeed, Mr. Hillyard might have done, and, in our opinion, ought to have done, three days be fore. Still, experience teaches us not to be too confident in the prudence and propriety of the conduct of every gentleman who calls himself a Conservative. There may have been a compromise in the Sr. Alban's case ; and if there has been one we can ascribe it to nothing but a consciousness on the part of Mr. Ca . obell that he or his agents have practised bribery ; for we cannot for a moment conceive that the whole Conserva tive party is implicated to the extent that it. must be implicated, if, as surmised, St. Alban's lies been sold to save Canterbury. This would be a very alarming case, indeed ; for it would involve not only the Whigs (they, however, arc familiar with infamy) and the Conserva tires in a very disgraceful bargain—it would implicate two sroorn Committees of the House of Commons as conniving at that bargain. (From the Courier.) It may be readily conceded that Lord John Russell and the supporters of the New Poor-law Bill are almost profuse of humanity—are guilty indeed of' humanity mongering—when the object is to provide for the burial of deceased paupers. He would have all such carried out and buried " decently," and is moreover not india posod to provide for the charge to be incurred. Nay more, he is disposed to allow the dying pauper himself a voice in the disposal of his own remains, for so at least we may understand his language where he says that, " when he spoke of introducing words (into time clause) to sanction the burial of a pauper in the parish to which lie belonged, he meant to say, if the pauper himself expressed a desire to that e ject." The huma nity of Lord John, however, extends only to the pauper dying; it is dispensed only when the pauper recipient that is to be lies in articzdo mortis ; for the pauper living his bowels of compassion or compunction are not so readily moved. The former is to be endowed with laying his bones in his native locality ; the latter is denied a veto on removal from the the wor kh precious home and of his own and transportation to that of any more more breathe his native. air, or enjoy the consoling con disptrainvtileguernoofni Living '. he may no sciousness of at least dwelling within the pre ch al cincts friends aroundrernen remembered still o clusteror a h n a d pp a y re found, though debarred the rights of occasional communion a dreary prison walls.

This latter poor privilege is but an expenditure of humanity at the cheapest rate after all, with the consoling cer tainty, moreover, to those by whom reluctantly conceded, that it is the last item in the pauper's bill of charge, and winds up his account once for all. I\liserable as is the pittance ungraciously deled out, we are yet thankful that even that little has been extorted. --- MINIATURE CARRIAGE FOR THE PRINCESS, Rev .u.—A most elegant little carriage is now building. : ut tasteful ' r for rw e s t s h e t o use take ° o r c t c h a e s i o P n i a i l n a c i e r s i g n g ß s o : a i l t i; a to nd el n la e b a l r e ly th c r in P fa le n t t e P l f o: her Majesty through the walks in the gardens: . little aff.tir, the body resting within a few inches of the admirably appropriated to ham Palace and Windser Castle.

Thn ponies are so exceed ingly tractable and dozile that, it may be said, " even a child may drive them."

A Patriotic Song, by J. F. of Jersey. D'Almaine and Co., Soho-square. COUNTING-OUT. There is a North-country proverb to the effect that children and persons of weak intellect ought not to be intrusted with edge-tools. There are persons whom it seems equally dangerous to intrust with the application of general principles. They set to work applying and misapplying them, much to the same purpose that we can imagine a child backing about at random with a knife. The evil of the scanty and irregular attendance of Members of the House of Commons is admitted on all hands. " Count it out !" says a sage of the class to which we have been alluding. With all due deference to the gentleman, we must " wear our rue with a dif ference." A thin House is convenient for enabling Ministers to smuggle through votes of money in silence. Now votes of money cannot be recalled, •and concealment of the particulars of national expenditure is inexpedient : there fore, when a slent money-vote is pressed in a thin House, " counting-out" may justifiably be resorted to. On the other hand, Ministers and a majority of the House are sometimes averse to the discussion of prin ciples or measures which it is for the general interest to have force:l upon public attention. The method of stifling such discussions most frequently retorted to, is by the absence of Members, to prevent a House being lorme,i, or to keep it so thin as to afford an excuse for not insisting upon 4 vote. The only way to defeat this trick is by bringing on the motion, speaking through the House at the public, a n d i ns i s ting upon taking a vote, to convince the shufflers that they can gain no thing but may lose something by absenting themselves. When political leaders and their partisans absent them selves to suppress discussion,:" counting-out" is playing their game. . _ The combination of these two cases seems to express pretty accurately the rationale of " counting-out."— Spectator.
