UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, King William-street.—At the SEVENTH ANNUAL GENERAL, MEETING of the Society, a RE DUCTION of SIXTY PER CENT. has again been an nounced on the CURRENT PREMIUMS on all POLICIES that have been in existence five years ; and the correctness of the estimates, on which a similar division of profits was declared last year, has been fully confirmed. The premiums are thus reduced to a rate which will bear comparison with any other office, while the principle is recog nised, whereby a scale, originally fixed on a safe and prudent ba-is, is capable of reduction in due time dependent on the successful progress of the Society.

The System adopted by this Corporation combines the Prin ciple of Mutual Assurance with the security of a large Sub scribed Capital and the support of an influential body of Pro prietors. In order to meet the views of all classes of Insurers, poli cies are ;ikewise granted on the following plan, viz . : —When au insurance is for the whole term of life, one half of the premium is only required to be paid for the first five years, the other half may remain unpaid, subject to the charge of interest of 5 per cent, per annum, to be deducted at death, or may he paid off, at the option of the parties. Tables have also been calculated, making the sum insured payable on the party at taining the age of Sixty, or at Death, if it occur sooner. The Premiums are moderately rated at all ages, and are so modified by ascending and descending scales and otherwise, as to suit the object of every Insurer at the least immediate out lay, whether to secure a Debt, provide fur his Family, or to convert Income into Capital for his own use. Prospectuses, Tables of Rates, and every information, may be had on application to Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, No. 4, New Bank-buildings, London. CHATTER 1. Causes of Strictures. Divisions of Strictures.

It is to be seen if these misguided men have taken such a fancy to Tory rule as to remain neuter—whether they will travel with their friends the-three parts of the road which they go together, or join the enemy and journey in -a contrary direction.

I am, Sir, your humble servant, June 4, 1841. J. AIOOIIE, House Agent. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, J UNE 9, 1841 BATH ELECTION. MR. ROEBUCK‘AND LORD DUNCAN. A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the most in fluential ana Liberal electors of Bath took place yesterday in the Guildhall of that city, for the purpose of selecting two Liberal candidates to represent the city in Parliament. At one o'clock, SinoN BARROW, Esq., took the Chair; but long before the hour appointed for the commencement of the pro ceedings, the Hall was filled almost to suffocation, the meeting haring been looked to by the Liberal party in Bath with the greatest anxiety and impatience, because they Mt convinced that its proceedings would show to the country that though Bath had been for a time under Tory domination, it was deter mined to remain so no longer, but to exert itself to the utmost to cast oil the shackles by which it had latterly been bound, and redeem its character as a Liberal constituency. Such were the desperate shifts to which the Tory party were re duced, that, tearing no other means were likely to give thien the least chance of returning men to Parliament of their own political principles, they have been obliged to resort to their usual expedient of loosening their purse-strings, and to pro claim aloud, from one end of Bath to the other, that they were determined to expend 20,0001. sooner than allow that city to be reprebonted by those men who were the real friends of the people. Judging, however, from the feeling that seems to per vade ad classes in this city, we should say that this bait is not likcly to secure many lish. he Liberal principle seems onceagain to be in the ascendant at Bath, and everything is to be hoped fur from the exertions of its electors in the cau-e of freedom. Unity seems to be the order of the day here, and never, per haps, was there a meeting is this city in which so much harmony prevailed as in that of this day. The Tories, know itig• the tearful odds which they have to contend with have nut been idle; almost every in in the city which they could they have secured for the meetings of their committees, and handbills have been most plent.fuily distributed, stating that it was toe p sitive intention of Lord Powerseourt and Mr. Ui uges to solicit again the auffaages of the eleetors at the next election. Lord Duncan, in answer to tte requisition expressing a hope that he woad allow the Lil*i'4 Otsctors of Bath to put him in nomination at the next election, has issued the following spi rited antOasanlyAuldrm,:-- • " GbYliTLE3lEN,—Connet4e . (Gi,i am with one of the oldest ' residents in your city, I should deem it a derelict ion of duty at this momentous crisis, if I did not at once accept the wry flat tering requisition you have done me the honour to sen 4 me. ' 4 Aly political principles are in favour especially of a re vision of the Corn-laws, and generally in favour of a Govern ment which has had the boldness to pledge itself to itiqaire into, and du its utmost t o am eli ora t e t h e at present depressed condition of the commercial, manufacturing, and working classes of this great empire. " Gentlemen, 1 beg leave, for your satisfaction, to refer to the votes 1 have given since 1 have had the honour of a scat in Parliainent; you will find that, as the friend of the Establi,hed Church, 1 have invariably supported such measures as I be lieved calculated to endear it to the community, by extending the benefits of civil and religious liberty to all cia.sses of m fellow subjects; I am a determined enemy to pluralities; lam the advocate of education in its widest sense ; I have voted for the Ballot; 1 have voted for cheap, sugar; 1 have voted for the revision of the Cornlaws, both before and since it became a Government measure. '• If further explanation is needed, I trust it will soon he in my power w give it in a personal . canvass ; I shall take the earliest opportunity et waiting upon each elector ; in the mean-. time I hope, while I am detained in London, endeavouring to support the Government against the banded monopolists of the kingdom, the Liberals at Bath will not be wanting to them selves and to the cause for which they have fought so conspi cuously on more than one trying occasion. " Gentlemen, relying for success, more on your activity, zeal, and wonted energy, than on any merits of my own, I remain, your faithful servant, " DUNCAN." Among those present on the platform we noticed, Simon Barrow, Esq., Chairman ; Colonel Napier, Colonel Bailey, Admiral Gordon, W. 'l'. B air, Esq., W. H. Bruen, Esq., Hon. H. Duncan, T. Hough, Esq., T. Gill, Esq., Dr. Barlow, F. Ellis, Esq., Robert Ellis, Esq., H. A. Barry, E sq ., J o h n Allents,; J. Barrow, E sq ., . Barrow, Esq., Honorary Secre tary ; D. Harvey, J. C. Spender, Esq , Edward Jay, Esq., J. Edridge, Esq., Vice• Chairman ; H. E. Goodridge, Esq., S. Batchelor, Esq., R. W. Brown, Esq., Dr. Sandon Watson, Richard Eckley, Esq., T. Evered, Esq. Mr. Roebuck and Lord Duncan, on presenting themselves to the meeting, wore most enthusiastically cheered. SIMON Baaaow, Esq., upon taking the Chair, stated that he should have been much more gratified if some gentleman far more competent than himself had been called upon to fulfil the duties of Chairman. He felt that the time had now arrived when it had become imperative upon every Liberal in Bath not only to do his duty . to that city, but to the country at large, by supporting her Majesty's present Ministers, and enabling them to carry into full effect those patriotic measures which were so eminently calculated to benefit the country, and . to se cure the high position which it held among the rations of Europe.—(Cheers.) He felt convinced that the two gen tlemen who were to be proposed to the Electors of Bath that day would meet with the hearty and cordial support of every right minded man in Bath—(Cheering)—inasmuch as they were tried men, whose principles were, known, and who had ever been found to be the true supporters of Liberal measures and the real friends of the people. For his own part he would venture to say that whenever any Liberal measures were brought forward in Parliament—measures that were calculated to increase the happiness of the people, and to raise this country in the scale of nations, they would never be found skulking or wanting in giving their support to the cause of the people.—( Cheers. ) Nothing could be done without union, and he calico therefore upon the Whigs, the Radicals, and the Chartists to unite together as one man, in the great cause of liberty and good government in which they were en gaged.--(Cheers.) If union was - only preserved, he would venture to predict that their two Conservative Members would feel that their day had gone by, and that the only course they had left was to give up the contest.—(Cheers.) The whole country was looking with great interest to the proceed ing of the Electors of Bath that day, and he felt convinced that whatever might be the result the termination of the election at Bath would have the greatest influence on the other con stituencies of the country. He was much mistaken, indeed, if Bath did not set before those constituencies the most noble and glorious example.—(Cheers.) He was sure, if the elec tors of Bath did their duty to those gentlemen who were to be proposed to them that day, that they would do theirs, and that the electors would never hive cause to repent of returning such men as Roebuck and Lord Duncan as their representa tives in the British House of Commons. He was happy to see that all differences among the Liberal electors were settled, and he trusted that in the present contest their watchword would be—Union, union, tAniop.—( Great cheering.) Mr. BLAIR, then came forward to propose Lord Duncan as a fit and proper candidate to 'represent the City of Bath in the House of Commons. Having been requested to propose Lord Duncan to the Electors as one of the Candidates for the representation of the City of Bath in Parliament at the next election, he did so with the greatest pleasure, though with more brevity than he could wish, on account of the state of his voice. He had consented to do this in the first place as the best proof and pledge he could give that that Noble Lo-d should have his support and interest—(Cheers) —and in the next place, because he believed he was warmlyattached to thus. great principles of civil and religious liberty which were dearer to him than his life.—(Hear, and cheers.) And, lastly, because he had declared himself friendly to those measures of sound policy and real humanity, had been lately proposed by her Majesty's Ministers, and upon the pass ing of which he considered that the prosperity and even the safety of the country depended.—(Great cheering.) But these was a charm its the very name of Duncan that must prove a passport to the heart of any Englishman.—(Cheers. ) No doubt all present had heard of the great victory of Camper down--a victory, he would unhesitatingly say, that was one of the most glorious that was ever recorded in the annals of the British navy.—( Great cheering.) That victory was achieved by the grandfather of the Noble Lord who now tendered his services to the Electors of Bath—(Contnued cheering)—and that circumstance, in his mind, ought alone to secure him a warm and grateful reception by any British audience. —( Loud cheers.) But beyond the honour of a name they had the hope that the mantle of his noble relative would descend upon the Noble Lord, and that he would always dis plas the same talent and patriotism in the Senate that his great and glorious ancestor did in the field.—( Cheers. )The'state of his (Mr. Blair's) voice warned him to hasten to express the few words that he more particularly wished to address to the meeting. He would say, then, if there were any electors in Bath with whom he had the slightest interest, whether they were his personal or political friegis, whether they were Churchmen or Dissenters—if there *ere any who would have given him a voteisad he been able to present himself to their notice, he would entreat of them to do the same for Lord Duncan, and to put him in the very same position in which their kindness might have placed himself.—(Much cheer ing.) He would F e further and sayand when he did so he did it with perfect consistency with his own course of aetffin—that he hoped his friends, in the present important crisis of the country would waive all differences, prejudices, and personal antipathies—that they would bury the hatchet, and for the purpose of breakin g a strong Conservative confederacy on the other side—that they would give their second vote to Lord Duncan'; highly gifted colleague.—( Great cheering.) Divided, they were powerless—(Cheers) but united, by God's blessing, they might do everything—( Great cheering)—but they might depend upon it that success was only to be obtained by a strong pull, a long pull, and a pul altogether.—(Great cheering.) If the meeting would permit him, before he retired, he a w c o e u d l . d 4 s u ay re o a n t e w e o h r e d er t i o ng t . h ) em rela tionany to himself; he would not have done so on such occasion If but for the peculiar, nay, embarrassinss r , • circumstances in which he had been . placed.—(Brest of his friends thought that he had lately made a political blunder, it would become him to bow to thcr judgments, hut others who had since changed their opinions (and for which he did not blame them), should remember in justice to him, thit it was very much under the influence of the sentiments they expressed that he had acted.— (Cheers.) He would therefore entreat his friends who might have been forward to blame him, to consider that the blun der, if it was one, was attributable. to the circumstances in which he was placed, and, if they pleased, to one of those errors in judgment to which the most wakeful intellect was liable, and not to any defection or vacillation of principle ; he would only say now that but for obstacles which he found it impossible to surmount in the few hours allotted to him (but which he was happy, truly happy to find, were fast giving way under the genial influence of the Noble Lord) he should have been proud and happy to have obeyed the call with which his fellow-citizens hail honoured him.—(Hear, and Cheers.) If in retiring as he had done he had given unintentional offence to any one he would take that public opportunity of expressing his unfeigned regret that he should ntleman who have done so, and a particularlysinglteo humanthe Hbeoina.g,Ghe might have been his colleague.—(Cheers.) Thos e w h o k new him best would acquit him of deliberately doi ng anyt hi ng that would give umbrage to (Great cheering.) In conclusion he had only to say, that it afforded him ihe highest gratification to propose Lord Duncan as a candidate to represent the City of Bath in the ensuing Parliament.—(Cheers.) Mr. JOLLY t'elt great pleasure in seconding the proposition of the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down. He felt that on an occasion like the present it was most desirable that the trading classes should show to the world that they were determined to uphold the cause with which their hest interests were identified—(Cheers)—and that they would do al( in, their power to forward the great cause of which the Noble Lord had shown himself to be the strenuous advocate,--(Cheers.) When a member of the aris tocracy, when ore holding a high station in life identifiOdhims self with the trading and industrious classes, what was the course that those classes ought to pursue ? Why to hold - Out, with the greatest warmth and cordiality, the right hand of friendship, and to join heart and band with him in the great cause which had for its object the liberties of the people. (Cheers. ) The Nobleman whose nomination he had the honour that day to second was, like their late worthy Rerre , tentative, not an untried man—(Cheers)—he had ever been found to be the advocate of civil and religious liberty, and had always opposed to the utmost that monster monopoly, the Corn-laws.-_( Great cheering.) He had supported the voce by 13allot—( Increased cheering)—and he had also done his best to forward and support those measures of liberal and commercial policy -which were intended to be , and woull be, if acted upon and carried out with vigour, productive of the best results to the country.—(Cheers.) 71 he Noble Lord hid also done his bestro ca-ry out those measures which would tend to the prosperity of the community.—(Cheers.) And if he might be allowed for one moment to place out of view these gsneral interests, and come to those with which Beth was more intimately connected, he thought that in diiing so the conduct of" the Noble Lord whose nomination he had the honour to second, would bear comparison with the absentee Lord who was now one of their representatives.'—(Cheers. ) The electors of Bath ought also to recollect that the family of the Noble Lord had done all in their power to support the trading community io Bath.—(Cheers.) They had done more than any resident citizens, and upon those grounds alone he thought the Noble Lord -was entitle.l to the votes and interests of the Liberal electors of 13ath.—(Cheers. ) He was sure that in an assembly of the citizens of Bath, he ought to apolo gise for making such an appeal, as he felt convinced that that constituency to a man was operated upon by on personal consi derations ; but that the lofty feeling of the pats tot, and those alone urged them onward in the course they were pursuing. They had now two powerful interests opposed to each other— on tile one side they had the enemies of freedom, and on the other the friends of the rights of conscience. The Liberal party were prepared manfully to battle for their cause, and by the blessing of God they would be sure to succeed.—(Cheers. ) On the one side they had Pewerscourt and Bruges, who were ready to support scarcity and monopoly, while, on the other side, they had D uncan an d Ro e b uc k—(Great cheering)—men who were ready to gird up their loins on the behalf of religious freedom, liberty, and plenty.---( Cheers. ) When such was the ease no man ought to be neuter.—(Cheers.) Let all recol lect that there was no middle course to take.—( Cheers.) Lord Duncan had come forward for the purpose of giving to the constituency of Bath an opportunity of fighting the battle fairly and equally—(Cheers)--and he was prepared to stand side by side with their 'old representative. He came there to put down monepoly.—( Cheers.) Hp came there to carry two votes for ,she -citer-lan,zlone.—( Loud cheering.) Ile trusted that those,whcbtsemssf his opinion would be inspired with the same spirit s --(geers)--and that all ill feeling would be laid aside, and every exertion used by the electors of Bath 4p return two honest and trustworthy men as their Represen tatives in Parliament. In conclusion he had only to say that he most cordiall seconded the proposition that Lord Dunces) was a fit and proper Representative for the City of Bath in Par liament.—( Cheers. ) Admiral Go entre then came forward for the purpose of pro posing Mr. Roebuck as a fit and proper person to represent the city of Bath in Parliament, and was most enthusiastieq. cheered. He thought it a most wonderful thing that the ctiv ct! Bath should ever have such Members as those that they had at present ; and having carefully considered and looked into the matter, he had discovered that the only reason why the had such Members, was because the constituency was divided. —(Cheers.) He had no hesitation in saying that if they were united they would succeed —(Cheers.) With respect to Mr. Roebuck much had been said against him, but he (Admiral Gordon), thought that he was much more sinned against than sinning. —( Loud cheers.) He was delighted to know that that gentleman intended to pursue the course he had uni formly adopted.—(Cheering.) Mr. Roebuck had been stated to be a man of no principle. Now with respect to that he would let facts speak for themselves.—(Cheers.) In the first place he was supposed to be hostile to religion, and why? Be case he was hostile to the abuse of it.—(Cheers.) Again, it was said that he was hostile to the Dissenters. He was no such thing. He had done all in his power to remove their re ligious disabilities—(Cheers)—and he had done more for the removal of that odious impost, Church -rates, than perhaps any man of his day.—(Cheers. ) - He had been proved to be a reli gious man, and one that was friendly to religious liberty throughout the world, and looking at his former conduct no one could doubt that he would do all in his power to unite every shade of difference.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) He trusted the people of Bath would immortalise themselves by electing Lord Duncan and Mr. Roebuck, as thereby they would declare that Bath was still Liberal, and thet she was de termined to take her leave for ever of her present unworthy representatives.—(Cheers.) He trusted that the electors would not relax in their exertions until the names of Lord Duncan and Roebuck resounded through every street in Bath. —( Cheers.) • Mr. Enatode seconded the nomination of Mr. Roebuck. He was always happy to look an assembly of Englishmen in their faces.—(Cheer..) They were met there that day in a most noble cause.—( Great cheering.) He believed that all present would agree with him, that for some years past trade had been on the decline ; that there had not been full employ • ment for the industrious population of the country.—( Cheers ) He had hitherto been unable to discover how relief was to be obtained ; but now he saw it in the declaration of her Ala jetty's Ministers in favour of flee trade.—(Cheers.) The people of England had had immense difficulties to struggle agai ist ; but of this he felt confident, that if they endeieourek to retrieve the condition of the country by establishing commerce on a firm and solid basis they would go a great way to effect the great object they had in view —(Cheerin g )—and in carry ing out that object he was sure they would have the hearty support of Mr. Roebuck.—(Cheering.) The assistance of that gentleman at the present crisis was of the utmost iniortance, for without freedom of commerce it would be utterly im possible that the people should have the comforts and happi ness of life.—(Cheering.) The Tories had acted a most in coesiseent part —they wanted to get fifty millions of taxes from the people, and yet they bound up their hands, thereby making it impossible for them to get the money.—( Cheering. ) Feeling convinced that all who were then present were ac quainted with the fearless manner in which Mr Roebuck had advocated Free-trade, he was sure that they would all to a man support his nomination, and return him triumphantly to Parliamentasthe representative of the City of Bath.—(l heers. ) Lord DUNCAN then come forward to address the Electors, and was received with the most enthusiastic cheering which lasted several minutes. After the cheeringhad somewhat subsided his Lordship proceeded with his address. He was sure that they would believe him when he stated it was with feelings of no ordinary embarrassment that. he rose to address them on the present occasion ; those feelings of embarrassment were caused by knowing that lie was incapable of giving utterance in suffi ciently strong language to his thanks to them for the enthu siastic reception that lie had met with in Bath. Those feelings of embarrassment were increased when be looked around him and saw so many gentlemen—so many old tried and con sistent. Liberals, who were far more able than himself, and far better qualified in every respect to occupy the station to which he that day proudly aspired.—(Loud cheering.) But if he entertained feelings of embarrassment he must own that these feelings were somewhat alleviated when he considered the cause which he had come forward that day to advocate. Their cause was the cause of the people, or it was no cause at all.—( Cheers. ) In what he was about to say he trusted that they would make allowances for his weakness in consideration of the strength of the cause.—( Cheers.) He had come to Bath prepared to contest the two seats for that city.—(Loud cheers.) There was no mistake about that.—(Cheers.) He had met his Noble opponent the other day, and he had told him that he would be opposed with spirit, but with perfect good humour—(Cheers) —and at the same time he had also stated that he hoped that he would use his influence with his friends to gain the same advantage for them.—( Cheers.) If they had fair play there could be no doubt of their success, for they had numbers and arguments also on their side.—(Cheers.) Of this be was certain that there was one mat] of as hom the Tories were in dread, and that was the worthy gentleman who was to be put in nomination with himself.—(Great cheering.) He had taken upon himself the responsibility of pledging Isis triends to discuss the different questions fairly and openly, at the same time expressing a hope that the same pledge would be given on the other side, and if such were the case, if they were al lowed to meet and discuss the different questions in dispute fairly and openly, so help him God they would not be afraid. Be wished at the beginning to leave no question unanswered; he would state his principles, and he trusted that the meeting world hear him patieetly to the end. The first thing that he would discuss was the question which had been repeatedly asked him, which was—Why did Lord Duncan leave South ampton ; and why did he come to Bath ?—(Laughter.) That question was raised by no friend of his ; still it was a question, and it should be answered. He would tell the person, who ever he might be, who had raised that question, that he would not shrink from it. He had been received most kindly by the liberal electors of Southampton, and he confessed that he owed to them aneternal debt of gratitude.—( Cheers.) It was true that he had left that constituency, but les was happy to say he had left it in good hands.---( Cheers. ) 'f he free trade prin ciple had gone down there; and there was every prospect of Captain Mangles and Mr. Hutchins securing their seats there, in the Liberal interest.—(Cheers.) He now came to the reasons which had induced him to 'present himself before the worthy electors of Bath. He had long felt that he ought not to interfere with the representation of that city. Three or four candidates had hitherto been in the field—Mr. Hoblionse, and other Hon. Gentlemen professing Liberal principles • and feeling as he had always done that the Liberal peaty ought not to be divided, he had refrained from asking the suffrages of the electors of Bath. He invariably saw the opposite party united. Unity was strength, and he felt no hesitation in say • inn that if the Liberals were united they would be sure to be successful. —( Cheers. ) Application after application had been made to him to allow himself to be put in nomination, which he had as frequently refused, until it was stated to him that it he would come down upon the present occasion there was a chance of securing both the seats.—( Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) As soon as that was stated to him he felt that he should be wanting in his duty to those whom he would call his fellow-toerrismen in * Bath, if he did no' come manfully forward, and he felt also that he should be wanting in his duty to Mr. Roebuck if he did not stand by him. —(Great cheering). With the permission of the meeting, he would state generally what his principles were since he had been in Parliament ; he had ever supported the Liberal party— Ise had done his utmost to support that Government which, when it first came into office, conferred that great boon upon the country, the Reform Bill—(Cheers) —by which the constituency of Rath was raised from 30 to 3,ooo.—(Loud cheers.) Another reason why he supported the Government was, because they had brought forward the Municipal Reform Bill.—( Loud cheers.) Another reason why he supported them was, because they had brought in and cart red a measure for the registration of Births arid Marriages, by which a great. boon was conferred upon Al classes of society.—(Cheers.) He was called upon also to support them when they proposed the aboli tion of Negro Slavery. It was true that that. proposition was carried at great cost, but the people of this cote try, look ine a. ' the benefits that were to be derived, did not grudge the money. lie supported them, because when an opportunity was attirden they always reduced taxation. They had done so to a very great extent, and he had nu doubt that they would carry that principle out much farther. Among the many reductions in taxation which the present Ministry had made was that of the Postage. As far as that was concerned, perhaps, the exist', cracy did not feel mach benefit from it, but the majority "f ti e s people of the country, he would unhesitatingly say, h a d d ei si ee ,i the greatest benefit from it. Lastly, he had supported her Majesty's Ministers, because they had endeavoured to do what they could to effect a satisfactory adjustment. of tithes. He had been educated by a man who had during his whol life been attached to the Established Church. He had been brought up in one of the universities of this country. lie was , therefore, a friend to the Established Church. Ilut at the same time lie must say he was an enemy to pluralities, an , ' also to the Ecclesiastical Courts.—( Great cheering.) 11, wished to see men, if they were to be confined in prison, placed there by a Jury of their countrymen, but he never wished to see them placed there because their sentiments on religion did not coincide with those who were considered the dominant party in the St ate. —( Cheers.) He would vote for the abolition of Church-rates.—( hear, hear, and great cheer ing.) No one could doubt that the people had a nigh• to patronise what sects they pleased, but there was no right whatever, • in his opinion, for any particular sect to cal upon another to support the house in which they,. worshipped G o d, —( Loud elteers. ) Us had voted in fa , our of the Ballots (Cheers.) He regretted that the Ballot should be necessary, but seeing that it was so, he should at all times support it.— (Cheers.) In America property was much more equally divided than it was in this country, and yet there the Ballot had been established. There was not a single Union in that State in which the Ballot had not been introduced, and if it was necessary there, looking at the state of property in that country, how much more necessary, he would al, was it in this country ?—(Great cheering.) He would not shrink from any question that might. be put to him. He was prepared to edvoeate education in its vs idest sense. No one had come snore consistently forward than his worthy friend Mr. Roe buck to support it. Why did he (Lord Duncan) suppor. education ? Because that the present franchise was no in a satisfactory state.—( Loud cheers.) He should like to sec the franchise better defined, and stripped of those legal subtleties with which it was at present clothed. (Cheers.) He did not like to see a man who had acted con sistently. brought up and bullied and badgered in the Regis tration" Court, in order that he might assert his rights.—(great &eerie* ) Then, with respect to the question of the Poor laws—he was prepared to discuss that question fairly and openly. He had never voted for the Poor-laws as they at pre sent existed, but he wished those who oppoied the present .Poor-laws to reflect upon the evils of the old system. He (lid not say that the new Poor-law had answered all the ob jects intended. It was brought. iu as an • experiment for the purpose of trying a new system. It might or it might not nave answered the purposes intended ; but if he were returned as their representative, he should go into Parliament prepared to discuss the question and prepared also to vote against every clause in the Poor-iaw Bill which r thought unnecessarily harsh and severe. He now came to he question upon which he felt that he sho'uld be more readily heard—he alluded to the finances of the country. The Go vernment had been very much attacked on this subject, but it should be recol eeted that for the good of the people Minis 'tern had sacrificed millions.—(Cheers.) As En instance of that he might refer to the Post-office; and then the expenses of our conquests in Stria were not to be kept out of view. In these circumstances what did the Chancellor of the Exche quer do ? Did he, come down to the House of Commons and state that he was prepared to propose a property tai?— (Cheers.) Did he come down and state that it was his inten tion to place fresh burdens upon the people? No such thing. He came down prepared to propose the reduction of taxation. —(Cheers.) Was tha. proposition hailed with' joy in the House of Commons ? No! it met with the most tremendous J pposition. The first part of the Chancellor of the Exche quer's project was to take off some part of the duty on sugar. de told the House that the people of Brazils and Cuba were harshly used, and that they had expressed their deter mination that if this country laid a duty of 150 per cent. on their sugar, that they would lay a similar impost upon all manufactures of this country. As to the timber duties he had only a few words to say. He was prepared to reduce the tunes on timber to the Canadian level.—(Cheers.) He now lame to the question of the Corn-laws, and upon that subject it was hardly necessary for him to state that • he. had voted with Mr. Villiers in every motion he had made on that subject.— (Cheers.) Corn-laws were introduced into England in the lays of Edward the Third ; and looking back at those times it could be found that the price of corn in this country was much less than it was on the Continent, and in order to prevent oreigners from taking the corn of this country the Parlia ment, in the reign of Edward the Third, passed the Act to which he had referred. From that time down to the present various legislative enactments had been introduced until they came down to the time of George the Third, and during that reign it was stated by the agriculturalists that the low price of corn was leading to their ruin, and then Ministers of that day in troduced a proposition into Parliament of the most unexampled character. He came to Parliament and proposed by an Act of the Legislature to stear.y the prices of corn. Such an Act of folly was met, as it ought to have been, by the results which followed. The Act was passed iu 1791, and between 1791 and 1801 there was the greatest fluctuation in the price of corn, which was at one time 505., and at another 1555. a quarter. --(Cheers. ) Then came the principle of the sliding scale, upon which the leader of the Tory party had declared he would take his stand. It was an odd thing for such a man to say that he would take a sliding and slippery thing to stand upon.—(Cheers and laughter.) He would now come to a point with respect to the Corn-laws which was more nearly connected with that city. There was a time when there was a much greater influx of strangers into that city than there was at present. How, he would ask, had they been driven away from it ? Why because they found that the price of provisims on the Continent was but half what it was in this country. Did any one think that a man would leeve the land of his na tivity to go to distant climes, except he was forced to do so from endue; his income was not sufficient to procure the necessaries of life in this country? The Tories and the Conservatives of late had shown great anxiety to do- good for the working classes. They had told them, and it was one of the most im pudent assertions he had ever heard, that if the price of corn was reduced, wages would be reduced also. Was that the fact?—(Cries of " Yes, yes," and "No, no.") He would unhesitatingly assert that wages were not dependent on the price of corn ; all that they were dependent on was the demand of labour.—( Great cheering.) It was not denied, even by the Conservatives, that the manufactures of the couptry would be considerably increased, and that increase could not take place without an additional demand for• labour.—(Cheers. ) the agriculturalist said_ he was placed in a different situation from other men ; that he was not dependent on the people of any country for his food. Was such the case ? Follow the man who made such an assertion to his breakfast, and there you would see him with his coffee and sugar—follow him to his dinner; and there you will find a nice linen cloth on the table—you will find him shaking his pepper-box—(Laughter)— *and probably you would see him wind up the good things of this life with„perhaps e lAttm-pudding, and a glass of sherry to ' boot.—( Great laughter.) He believed that he had now'nearly stated all that was necessary for him. lie had no doubt that be shoal be told he was an agitator, and his Hon. Friend Mr. Roebuck, whom he had heard state that he believed the Con stitution of this country to be the best in the world. He had heard him attacked, and called; a revolutionist. It had been stated by the Tories that they must disunite the Liberal party He was sure that such would not be the case in Bath, because he felt convinced that the enlightened electors of that city were well aware that union was strength. Such as he had stated were his sentiments upon the diffese-nt questions nhich he had brought before the electors. He had been born and bred a Whig ; he had been educated in Liberal principles, and his opinions were before the public. He had during the short course of his political life been engaged in more than one con test, but he had never yet been beaten either in Perthshire or Southampton.—( Great cheering.) In those contests he was engaged alone—in the present he had the advantage of having a gentleman associated wi h him whose abilities no one could deny. There was no man whom the Tories were so much afraid of meet ing inthe House of Commons ashis Hon. Friend whom it was in tended to put in nomination with him. In the present contest they were engaged hand in hand, and he could only say, as far as he was concerned, that the more equal the numbers were on both sides on the day of the poll, the more honestly should he think that the people had voted.—( Great cheering.) He had now only to thank them for the kindness with which• they had heard him, and to assure the electors of Bath, that if they did him the honour of returning him to Parliament, they • would always find in him a steady friend.—( Great cheering.) Mr. Hoenuen then came forward to address the meeting, and was received with loud and enthusiastic cheering. It had often been said that the people were fickle, but he would ask those who had had personal experience of the people of Bath to say whether they had ever seen any fickleness among them ? He had known the electors of Bath now for about nine years, and after the lapse of that time, he would confess that he had seen nothing approaching to fickleness in them.—(Hear.) The people were not fickle, but they were often deceived.-- ( Hear, hear;) The people of Bath were still his friends—. (Cheers, and cries of " Yes")--and the reception he had met eith since he hail lately come among them, was highly gratify ing to his feelings. He was sure that so long as the people were dealt fairly and honourably by, they would never be unjust to their true friends. He was proud to call the people of Bath his friends, and he was equally proud on the present occasion to show that he deserved their confidence. On the present occasion he stood in a peculiar position. Bath, at the present time, he might almost say repre sented the liberal state of England. All the Liberals were tending to the same end—they had differences sometimes, but they had all the same noble object in view. He was there representing one of those opinions, and his Noble Friend represented the other. Such was the state of the libe ral population of England; for he was not going to make it a elinisteral measure. All he wanted to do was to work out the cause of the people.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He would now ask the meeting for a moment to run back with him a few years, and then they would understand• the condition in which he was placed. He thought he should be able to conciliate some whom he believed to be mistaken, but who, no doubt, thought him so. A liberal Administration had given them the Re form Bill, and for that alone they owed them a debt of gratitude. But it had been said that they were going too fast. Now. for Isis own part, he did not believe that he could go too fast • tor in England they had the most dan gerous aristocracy that ever ruled a country. Therefore it was that he thought they could not go too fast. He had been thought to be crazy, and it had been stated of him that he wa. a revolutionist ;. but Ile had said that the day would come when it would be said that he was right. That day had come—that banded power had reared up its erested front, and They were banded together. to oppose it. They were there fighting the battle they had fought before.— (Cheers.) They must fight as a united body, and there must be no quarrelling between them. Bath must fight for Bath.— (Cheers.) There must be no compliance; there must be a thorough understanding on both sides. No fixing upon any man's forehead that h e i s a h a d fellow ; onlylet him b Liberal, desiring all th a t you desire, responsibleGovenmee a nt and then you must j o i n h eart and hand. Government A ' emanating from th e people i s respons ib le to the people, and would look to the interests of the people, Such being the present condition of England, here and everyilere he would ask ef all who called themselves thorough Reformers, whether they thought they would be best able to &Weill a liberal and ee sponsible Government by union or by separation. The peo ple of Bath had, in large masses, welcomed the Noble Lord, who, he was happy to say, was to be put in nomination with' himself, with voices high and hats in the air. He had no elcubt that that Noble Lord had not forgotten Saturday night, and it would b e long' ere he did so. If disunion "did not lake place in their ranks—they were certain to gain the vic tory ; but if separation did take place among them, let it be on the heads of those who sowed dissension, and they, he would venture to say, would not be found among the masses, for they were with him and the. Noble Lord. If disunion did take place the result . would be that enthusiasm would be put down and discord raised in its place. They were ready as ono man to hold out the hand of fellowship to all, and there could be no doubt whatever about either his friend or himself. They had come forward to fight the people's cause. If they were beaten, the people were beaten, and if the Tories sue. ) . ceeded, the pe o ple of Bath would suffer.—( Great u He was sure that he need say but very little as to his cheering.own opinions. The eL-ctors of Bath hnew them, all—all the world knew them. He came there again after nine years' knowledge of him, on the part of the electors of Bath. Nine years ago hey liked him, and they told him that they liked him now. He trusted that the present contest woul d be carried on with perfect good humour. He was sure that. it would be on the part of his Noble colleague and himself. He was sure that, on their part, it would be carried on with truth and sincerity ; and he could assure the electors that wherever he found an un fair proceeding during the election, he would denounce it. If they bad the Ballot, as the Noble Lord had stated, .they could not be terrified out of the ir votes ; upon, there nut being er! that safeguard, tradesmen were imposed pon'andnot. cum ell hat to give their votes where th e y otherwise would he wished the electors to recollect was, that the Tories were not content with employing intimidation, but they were trying to work upon the baser pas sions of the. people.; by their wants ad their very ignorance they have created a snare to degrade them. They were about to open, from one end of Bath to the other, the beer shops.— ( Cheers.)

Verdict—Accidental death. PRICE 5d MORNING ED ITION. cad of Temperance.. Societies and societies for the education of the people in the principles of the national Church. They would find them go to Church with red morocco Prayer Book, and on the Monday, or even on their return from Ghut eta, they would whisper that the election was safe. for. they had opened the beer-shops.—( Cheers.) Was that religion ? Was that honest ? Was it common sense ?—( Cheers. ) It was a b a te purpose, joined to base means, to be used to base ends. arid, ase they debauch them with drink, so they would sell them for gold. The two Tory candidates had claimed for themselves peculiar religious considerations. lie would leave them to be dealt with as the electors of Bath knew how to deal with such men. ' Let them manfully express their detestation of such proceed ings. Let them act upon it. Let them tell it to their neigh brs, and let it be known far and wide, He • thought than he need hardly trespass on their time further. He was sure that the electors knew well the battle theyhad to win. He was sure that they were fully aware of the means they had ia their bands to carry on the warfare, and it was a pleasing thing for him to say, that wherever they found 'the people improving there they found their friends, and wherever the temperance movement was goAse cm there they tumid their friends. In short, they had virtue and right on their side, and were sure to be successful in the end. The Tories as a party had em" ployed the moat improper means to carry out their views, and as a party they must be branded f,r it..—( Great cheering. ) It had been said to him, " How is it, Mr. Roebuck, that yotr • are here in . Bath ?" The Noble Lord had thought tit to answer that question. All that I shall say is, that my answer is here.—( Great cheering.) " Why," it was again said, " are you in Bath again, sowing dissension ?" His answer was, - " If you can show me that I, am mall sowing dissension—if you can show that lam standing in the way of a better man, or one more likely to conciliate ail parties, do so, and I will not stop here another hour." lie, however, could not find a man but who- had stated, " If you leave us, so far from dissension being avoided, your friends will say that they had been deceived, and disunion would be inevitable." That was his answer to the question.—( Cheers.) In Bath, he believed, union was.of -great benefit, as it would enable aerie to obtain good ends and good laws. Ile cared not by whorn,he: got these good things, but they might depend upon it, that without a Liberal Parliament, they could not have Libe ral Alinisters.---(Great cheering ) A name was nothing, but principle was everything. Principle went a great way, and he thought that if he and his friend were long together, they would go a little further than was expected from them at the, present moment. He was sure that he should be among men who, when they knew what he was at, would act upon 'the old proverb, and say that the devil was not quite so black as they heught him.--(Laughter.) He had come there to tight the battles of the electors of Bath, and not that of party. Thee . were of the people's party, and no ether. He had never called himself of any party but that of the people, and in peptic of that he might reler to his present deeds. elle called uptot aue, of the electors present to point nut if they could a siug;e ire-. stance in which he had opposed civil, er religieus Through his whole life he had advocated the causesn • in every sense of the word. No man had a - pore' . humble opinion of himself than be had. No 'man had perhaps committed greater errnrs than himself.: but all that he asked was, that when he eiti err, he should her turned round and told that such aild such a thing was his four deed, because he did not see why one false step - - should mar a whole life.--(Cheers.) When the people thought long upon, a thing they generally thought right, and they might depend upon it th it the people would not take up the fragment of any man's character and pronounce their oeinion upon it; but they would juti e him by his general conduct, and not by any perticular act. His Hon. Friend h , d spoken about the Corn laws, end some-one had asked hint if he wie - for a total aboli tion. He thought it was unnecessary for him to state that he Was in favour of total abolition.—( Loud cheers.) He had 110 doubt that the slidin;; scale and the fixed duty would -soon die appear. They would find that a free trade in corn was a trade without any shackles. Lord DUNCAN said, although he advocated a fixed duty he did not mean for a moment to say that it should be final. Mr. Roteuce thought there would be great difficulty in car rying through the fixed duty or 'a total abolition ; but if it was shown him that they could not carry the total abolition, but , that they would carry a small fixed duty, he would take that in preference•to nothing. Everything was to be ac complished step by step. All the great revolutions that had taken plate had been accomplished step by step. Even the Reform Bill and the other great measures that had been passed by the present Ministry had been accomplished by deg: ees. So witli respect to civil liberty—that had not been brought shoat at once. He trusted that in all the great questions to which he had adverted, the people of Bath would bear and forbear.-- (Cheers.) He trusted, that they would never give up that; which they were entitled to—civil and religious liberty for themselves and their descendants. If the people adopted that course, he thought the battle of freedom would soon be won. and this country would become what he believed God intended it to be—a great, a powerful; and a happy nation.—( Cheers. The CHAIRMAN then put the questiun that Mr. lloehneli. and Lord Duncan were fit and proper candidates to represent the city of Bath in Parliament, and declared it to be carried unanimously. Three cheers were then given for the Queen, and three for Lord Duncan, and three for Mr. Roebuck. Lotd DUNCAN proposed three cheets for the example that had been set by the electors of Bath in the union of himself and Mr. Roebuck, and may, continued the Noble Lord. that ex ample be followed by the other constituencies of the kingdom. A vote of thanks was then unanimously carried to the Chair man for his impartial conduct in the chair, and three cheers having been given for the Mayor of Bath, the meeting sepa rate'. Lord Duncan and Mr. Roebuck were enthusiastically cheered on leaving the Hall. TOTAL DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. A stley's Amphitheatre, the scene of the glories of old Philip Astley, and of the more recent triumphs of Ducrow, is now a heap of ruins. Shortly after four o'clock yesterday morning a tremendous fire broke out at the back of the Theatre, and in less than three hours the whole of the premises, with the exception of the front towards the Westminster-bridge-. road, was totally destroyed. The fire is supposed to have hail its origin in the stable facing Stangate-street, and to have arisen from some defect in the gas pipes, but on this subject it is impossible, at present, to obtain an• accurate informaion. Three of Mr. Ducrow's valuable horses have perished in she frees, and an unfortunate tienkev, which was in the stables at the time, has also fallen a sacrifice. kVe are sorry to add, that this calamitous fire has not been unattended with loss of human life. One of Mr. llncrow's female servants was suffocated in the flames, and the bo.ty, dreadfully burned, was yester.tay morning dug out el the ruir.s. 'there were three watchmen in the interior of the theatre, and the first knowledge I they had of the existence of the fire, was from seeing it break in one mass into the body of the theatre. The bui l ding, we understand, was insured in the Wrist of England office, but we tear that the furniture, stage properties, scenery, &c. were uninsured. Several houses adjoining the theatre Mere at the time in imminent peril, but we are happy to state that al though several are much injured, none are actually de stroed. lhe flames were got under at about half•past sir o'clock, at which hour the entire building was destroyed. FURTHER PARTICCLARS. 'We understand that serious apprehensions are enter tained that more than one life has been lost, the body of one of Mr. Ducrow's female servants has been dug out of the ruins, and another female servant is missing, who is supposed to have perished in the flames. So sudden was the invasion of the flames, that Mr. and Mrs. Duerow had barely time to escape. The building and furniture, we understand, were in wed to the amount of 7,0001. Mr. Ducrow's mental sufferings are represented as being intense. It is stated that nearly 200 persons are thrown out of employment in consequence of the destruction of the Amphitheatre. Mr. l)ucrow's celebrated horse Mazeppa, which was valued at upwards of 2,000 guineas, is said to have been one of the three horsei destroyed. THE WEATHER.-NooN, JUNE 8.

DREADFUL SUICIDE--In the early part of Monday afternoon a respectably-dressed man applied to Mr. Simmons, of Bury-street, one of the Chtuchwardens of the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, fur permission to ascend the tower of the new church, stating that his motive in asking the favour was to enable him to take a sketch of Westminster Abbey. Permission was, without hesitation, granted to him, and he went up the steeple to the summit, with the man who usually tolls the bell for the funerals ; who having conducted the stranger to the top, returned below to the ringing chamber, and commenced tolling the bell. About a quarter before four o'clock a policeman on duty on side the churchyard rails observed a person on the top of the tower apparently preparing to Precipitate himself to the ground , a nd a second afte rwar d s h e threw himself off, and came down with terrifiz velocity on the west side of the tower.
