The decided, uperiority of its plan, and its claim to public preference and support, have been proved incontestably by its extraordinary and unprecedented success. ASSURANCES MAY EITHER BE EFFECTED BY PARTIES ON THEIR OWN LIVES, OR BY PARTIES INTERESTED THEREIN ON THE LIVES OF OTHERS. The effect of an Assurance on a person's own life is to create at once a Property in Reversion, which can by no other means be realised. Take, for instance, the case of a person at the age of thirty, who, by the payment of 5/. 3s. 4d. to the Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once pos sessed of a bequeathable property, amounting to 1,0001., sub ject only to the condition of his continuing the same payment quarterly during the remainder of his life.--a condition which may be fulfilled by the mere saving of EIGHT SHILLINGS weekly in his expenditure. Miss, by the exertion of a very slight degree of economy—such, indeed, as can scarcely be felt as an inconvenience, he may at on.ce realise a capital of 1,000!., which he can bequeath or dispose of in any way he may think proper. A Board of Directors in attendance daily at Two o'clock. Detailed Prospectuses, and every requisite information as to le mode of effecting Assurances, may be obtained at the Office.

The Protective Re-assurance; having been again desired by parties who availed' 'themsehes (during the currency of the two last Equitable decennial periods) of the simple system originated by the ASYLIP.vI in 1828, the Directors, to avoid the future necessity of such repetitions, have constructed scales of renewable term i nsurances, continuous from division to division, according to the duration of the original pnlicy, without having recourse to new Certificates of Health, or fur ther investigation of any kind, after on.e present satisfactory appearance before a It Officer of the Company, thus providing, as far as Tossible, a remedy for the defects of the Bones system, render ed glaringly apparent by the existing expediency for such p •otective Re-assurance. By the adop tion of this easy plan, i)arties may:not only secure Equitable and other Bonuses, but;, at the same time, provide, by such extra insurance, for any additional object that may occur during the currency of the original Policy, whilst in the event of premature death, they will have paid no more than the price of a term, with the full ad , lantage of a whole-life insurance, and realise all the expectant advantages of Survivorship.

SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 30.—Arrived, at half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning, the Peninsular Com pany's steam-packet the Tagus. Her dispatches were forwarded up by the nine o'clock train, arriving in London by half-past twelve o'clock. The Tagus left Gibraltar the 20th instant, Cadiz 21st, Lisbon 24th, Oporto 25th, Vigo 26th, and Falmouth 28th. She has brought twenty-one passengers, and twenty-five head of cattle, thirteen only of which have been sent to London. Sailed yesterday, at four o'clock, the above Company's steamer, the Little Liverpool, for Lisbon and Gibraltar. On her arrival here on Tues day, two of the ship's crew were detected with a quantity of smuggled tobacco, for which the ship has entered into bond. The Oriental steam-ship leaves this port on Tuesday for Alexandria, &c. She takes' out upwards of eighty passengers, and among them Lieutenant -Colonel Hay and several officers of the 19Lh Regiment, as also Mr. George Thompson, the Corn-law lecturer, and one of the candidates for this borough at the l as t e l ec ti on .

ARRIVAL OF THE COLUMBIA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY 'MORNING. The steam ship Columbia arrived here last night, shortly before twelve o'clock, with thirty one passengers. She sailed from Boston on the 16th and from Halifax on the 18th, making the voyage from the latter place in eleven days and eight hours. The Britannia arrived out in eleven days and a half, facilitating the escape of the notorious Burdekin, manager of the Manchester Bank, who took his passage and his booty by her. The death of Dr. Charming, at Burlington, Vermont—a name not merely of American, but of European celebrity is the most striking event recorded in the United States papers, which are otherwise occupied with the autumn elections, and local matters. Sir Charles Bagot has dissolved the Canadian Parliament in a kind and conciliatory speech which, however, makes no direct allusion to the recent important executive changes. It is to meet again in November. The Attorney-Gene ral for Eastern Canada, Mr. Lafontaine, had been returned by his old constituency, the fourth riding of York county; but his coadjutor, Mr. Baldwin, Attorney-General for Western Ca nada, had been less fortunate. He was defeated. for Hastings county ley- the,Conservative can didate, Mr. Murney, 'Who. headed him on the poll by 41. The election was accompanied by rioting so violent, that the military had to be called out, and the return will be set aside, it is said, on the ground of obstruction and illegality. Before separating, the House of Assembly had imposed a duty of three shillings per quarter on United States grown wheat. Mexico has commenced the invasion of her re volted provinces, Texas and Yucatan, in right earnest, and with a degree of energy little cha racteristic of her people. Santa Anna has two English steamers at his command, plenty of men and resources, and his forces had taken San. An tonio in Texas, arrested the principal inhabitants of the place, and proceeding to the Civil Court, which was sitting, .seized the Judge, the Jury, lawyers, and all ! These vigorous proceedings ap• pear to have been quite unlooked for by the Texans, who have been resting on their oars, for their navy is (or was at the date of the last ac counts)'lying idle at New Orleans, and no means had been taken nearer home to receive the un welcome visitors. Galveston, to get at which the steamers, with their small draught of water, would be very useful, would, it was believed, be the next point of atack. The operation of the new tariff had quite crip pled the trade with England at New York, large quantities of goods being daily transhipped to this country on account of its provision. Busi ness was unusually dull. The rate of exchange on London was 7.1 to 71 per cent. premium, with a very trifling amount of business doing. In this respect matters were likely to get worse instead of better. As in England so in America, dis cussions in the press on the advantages or other wise of free trade as opposed to " protection" to native industry were of daily occ urrence . TRADE WITH CANADA. It appears from a letter of Lord Stanley, published in the Canada papers, that the matter of regulating the duty on wheat imported into that province from the United States, has been left entirely to the discre tion of the Provincial Parliament. Accordingly re solutions have passed that body to impose a duty of 3s. sterling per imperial quarter upon American wheat imported into Canada—such duty to go into eff ec t on the sth of July next. The preamble expresses con f, dence that upon the imposition of a duty in Canada upon American wheat imported into the province, such wheat will be admitted duty free, or rathe r as Canadian wheat, into the ports of Great Britain. A Bill was afterwards introduced, embracing the sub stance of T of he th ii resolutions,eci2gst,ni C hronicle says : and will no doubt becom e a I " The English Government offers to the pro v i nce t o repeal the imperial duties, levied in England upon wheat mported into England from Canada, if the Provincial Paeliament will impose a duty on wheat from the United. States. The provincial administration has sa d - a g reed to accept the off e r, proposes to fix the - duty at about 3s. sterling per quarter, or sd. cur ' rency per bushel, Supposing the importation from the United States to be about a million of bushels, this offer will add to are provincial revenue about 370,0001. sterling. If it ahall only amount to 202,0001. it will be an enormous addition to . the pro vifflial revenue, which will, no doubt, be applied to public works-a-to the erection of public buildings, in which, as contrasted with those in every great town in the United States, this province is greatly deficient; and, it is to be hoped, to the erection of schools. "To some extent the duty will be a tax on the in habitants of the province, namely, upon so much of the wheat imported as is consumed here. If the duty was merely on wheat, treating it as Canadian wheat when exported, it would amount to the duty levied on Canadian wheat in Engla n d, but the amount will be much more, and as the w h ea t w ill be manufactured into flour for exportati on, t h e prov i n ce will have th e profit of the manufactu re . Thi s i s the first time that the Imperial Government has giVen up to a. colony the duties it thinks proper to impose in England on colo nial imports for the regulation of its own trade." The following is an e x t rac t from Lord Stanley's letter above referred to:— " By the law, as it has hith er t o stood, Canadian wheat and wheat flour have been admissible into Great Bri tain at a rate of duty estimated at ss. per quarter, until the price in the English markets reached 705., at which amount the duty fell to 6d. By the Bill which is now before Parliament, a duty of ss. is leviable only while the price is below 555., and at 58s. falls to ls. only. But in addition to this reduction in the amount of price at whiell the lower duty becomes payable, it is proposed to take 0.. the restriction which h a s hitherto been imposed u p o n the importation of Canadian flour into Ireland, and thus to open a new market to that which may justly be considered As one of the manufactures of Canada. ‘ Imperial Parliament, at the time they admitted produce at a nominal duty, aig‘iiltts o t ni r ts u tt ed Canadian i e tu t i a o t n the all yhave imposed a correspondi ng day upon the imports of American wheat in Canada, and might thus have placed a check upon the undue i n fl u x of foreign, under the name of Canadian pro duce; but, whatever might be the view taken by her :Majesty's Government under a different state of cir cumstances, in which a tax imposed by colonial autho rity, and of course receivable into the colonial treasury, upon wheat imported from the United States, might secure the agriculturists of England against the com petition of foreign growers, they have been unwilling to impose such a tax, by the authority of Parliament, upon a raw article which might be required for home consumption in Canada, and, in the absence of such a tax, have felt it impossible to propose to Parliament a further, reduction than that which they have submitted, in favour of wheat and wheat flour, shipped from the ports of Canada.—l have , &c., (Signed) "STANLEY. " The Right Hon. Sir Charles Bagot, G.C.8., &c." The object of the British and Canadian Govern ments is two-fold, viz. :- 1. To compel American wheat intended for the English market, to go through Canada ; and, of course, to be ground in Canadian mills, and shipped in British vessels. This is to be effected by exempting it from duty in the English ports, if coming through Canada, and subjecting it to a high duty if brought from the United States direct. 2. The other object is the protection of Canadian agriculture. The farming interest in that province has been quite opposed to the idea of admitting Ame rican wheat free of duty, because the effect would be to reduce the price of Canadian wheat. The 3s. duty to be imposed in Canada, agreeably to the above men tioned Bill, will be so much protection to the Cana dian wheat grower, but will not check the import of American wheat into. Canada, provided little or no duty is imposed upon it. or the flour made from it, on its arrival in England. Unless our Government should adopt some counter vailing measures, we do not see but these objects will be accomplished. It is true, the words of the British law admit, an d m ay continue to admit, into England, only Canadian wheat free of duty, but it is evident from the tone of Lord Stanley's letter, that in practice all wheat or flour imported from Canada will be " deemed and taken" to be Canadian. This year the Canadians have got their fingers burnt by grasping so eagerly at a trade which belongs properly to us—and so far they are welcome to it. ELECTION RIOT IN CANADA,—The Montreal Tran script contains a letter, of the sth inst., from the county of Hastings, of which the following is an ex tract " We have had a inost tremendous riot to.day, and the returning officer was obliged to close the poll. Mr. Murney, the Conservative Candidate, is 20 a head, and there is not the shadow of a doubt that he will be elected by a hanthorne majority. This village is in a The following is the speech of Sir Charles Begot on closing the session : "Hon. Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly, "Although I anticipated, when I called you to gether, that your consideration might have been given at the present session to such public business of importance as seemed to require your early attention, yet I am induced by reasons of public cezvenience, and with a view to an early resumption of our joint labours, to pat a close to the present session. "I have to thank you for the zeal and assiduity with which you have considered and perfected the various measures in which a short period of the ses sion has been occupied. These, I trust, will be an earnest to the country of the principles by which I am guided, and of the advantages which may be expected frcm the cordial and united efforts of the several branches of the Provincial Legislature. " Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, "I thank you, in the name of her Majesty, for the liberality with which you have voted the supplies re quis:te for the public service; and for your ready co operation in carrying out the views of her Majesty's Government. " Honourable Gentlemen and Gentlemen, " In relieving you for the present from farther at tendance in yoar legislative capacity, I would express my confident hope that, when you return to your homes, you will use your just influence in promoting in your several districts that unanimity and good feeling which it has been my endeav our t o es t a bli s h, and in - diffusing those hopes of permanent peace and prosperity, in which I trust you will unite with me in believing that we may now, under Providence, be per mitted to indulge." The Honourable the Speaker of the Legislative Council then declared the Provincial Parliament pro rogued to the 18th day of November next. LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO. (From the New Orleans Crescent, Sept. 27.) The steam-ship Medway arrived at the Balize on the 23d, having feft Vera Cruz on the lath. G. S. Curson, Esq., bearer of dispatches from Ge neral Wacky Thompson, our Minister in Mexico, came passenger in her ; also Mr. Rafeiul, .61e of the editors of the Courrier des Etats finis. They came up in the Governor Yell. The Medway had on board $250,000 in silver for England. There is a strong hope that the cutter Woodbury is sane. She arrived at Vera Cruz on the 28th, after experiencing head winds all the way. On the 13th inst. she sailed for New Orleans, having on board 15 Texian prisoners, to whom General Thompson had given a free passage. She had also $BO,OOO in specie. Officers and crew all well. On the day the Medway left Vera Cruz, General Almonte, Minister Plenipotentiary, near the Govern ment of the United States, and suite, among whom is the son of the late Emperor Iturbide, were to leave Vera Cruz in the bark Eugenia for New York. Herr Cline also sailed in the Eugenia. The Yucatan navy is safely moored under the guns of the fort of San Juan d'Ulloa. The general impr%- - sion was, that no more. troops would be transported to Laguna, the force at Yucatan at present being deemed sufficient for all purposes. The war steamer Guadeloupe was at Vera Cruz, preparing to sail im me di a t e ly f or Galveston, for , th,e purpose of reconnoitring the island, and capturing any Texan vessel she might fall in with, previous to the sailing of the expedition for the invasion of Texas by sea, consistinr , of two steamers, two brigs, and three schooners of war, and the transports to be em ployed for the purpose of transporting the troops, 6,000 in number, wild are at present stationed at Puebla, Zelapa, and' Vera Cruz. A large num ber have also been sent by the northern route, and have for some time been encamped in the valley at the foot of the Sierra Madre. We have before us a letter from a friend in the city of Mexico, stating that-General Will had communicated to a friend there, that he had marched from Mier with 400 in fantry, 200 dragoons, 200 recruits, and 4 pieces of ar tillery, to take possession of San Antonio. The same epistle states that the bad understanding existing be tween the two Governments, in consequence of the insulting tone of Bocanegra had been arranged to the satisfaction of General Thompson, who, at the request of the President, held an interview with him in the Palace of the national Government. This was ef fected, the letter adds, by the high and manly tone assumed by General Thompson on all occasions. The " Napoleon" had also a presentiment that a United States fleet would soon be off Vera Cruz, a visit he was not at all desirous of receiving. Mr. Curson left the city of Mexico on the 9th inst., and leaves for Washington immediately. TEXAS AGAIN INVADED—CAPTURE OF SAN ANTONIO—PARTICULARS OF THE GREAT GALE. (From the New Orleans Bulletin, Sept. 27.) By the politeness of Captain Boylan, of the steam packet Merchant, we have full files of Galveston, Houston, Matagorda, and Austin papers, to the latest dates. The news from Texas is of a startling and important character, if we may place full credence in the following extract from the Galveston (extra) Times of the 20th. That paper says : " We stop the extra to give the following informa tion, but this moment received from a gentleman who has just arrived, and met the express the other side of Oyster Creek. "San Antonio was completely surprised on the 11th inst., by 1,300 Mexicans, under General Wall. Fifty-three of the principal citizens taken. The pro clamation of the President, headed "The enemy again," orders the marching forthwith of the militia of Brazoria, Austin, Fort Bend, Colorado, Victoria, Gonzales, Jackson, and Matagorda counties against San Antonio; and the counties of the Upper Brasos an , - . 1 Colorado to march to Austin, and the citizens of the °the counties to hold themselves in instant readi ness. The orders of the Executive are direct, that in the event or the evacuation of San Antonio by the Mexicans, they are to be pursued beyond the Rio Grande, and chastised as " their audacity deserves." In the event of a formal invasion, the western coun ties are to hold them in check, until the rest of the Republic can rally to the rescue. " P.S. When an Antonio was taken, the Circuit Court was in session, and the Judge and officers of the Court were made prisoners. " It appeared that the'equinoctial gale swept along the Texas coast and over the Gulf of Mexico with frightful violence on the night of the 18th, causing the waters of the Gulf to flow into Galveston Bay until it was full to overflowing. 'When things were thus situated the wind suddenly changed to the N.E. and N.N.E. about ten o'clock at night, and blew with terrible violence for the space of about four hours, during which period the water arose with frightful rapidity into the streets of Galveston, until the depth ranged from two to four feet in all the streets situated within 300 yards of the bay shore, in the principal business part of the city. " During the prevalence of the storm, in the dead hour of the night, many families were compelled to flee from their falling houses, and seek shelter with their neighbours, after wading through a raging surf propelled by a hurricane?' The Times adds—" The Episcopal church, a stately edifice, just completed, was blown from its founda tion, and though still partly standing, is a heap of ruins. The Catholic church (unfinished) is nearly as. much injured. A fine new residence, just completed by Mr. Savage, is unroofed and seriously damaged. The store of W. Hall and Co. is measurably de stroyed, and a fine stock of goods almost totally lost. De Lacy and Co., store and goods much injured. A house belonging to J. M. Jones blown down. Glad man's barber shop totally destroyed. Colonel Jack son's kitchen blown down (two servants narrowly escaped destruction). Captain Simpton's house and furniture much injured. The shed of the Cotton Press blown down, and other injury sustained. Many small buildings destroyed, and much injured. A portion of the second floor of the Merchants' Ex change fell in, caused, as is supposed, by the wind entering the building and forcing the walls from an upright position. " Mr. Colton, the owner of a trading sloop, had his leg considerably bruised by his vessel coming in con tact with the San Bernard, but the wound is by no means serious. " The war schooner San Bernard, blown from her moorings, now lies in two or three feet water, but not injured. Brig Atlantic stranded, and said to he much injured. Prize schooner Mary Elizabeth ashore at high water mark, near the Custom-house. Schooner Endeavour capsized. Slool Picayune st ran led, mast broken. Several sloops and small craft high and dry. Steam-ship Merchant slightly injured, but is now fully repaired. "The total loss of property and injury sustained, it is supposed, must have amounted to 50,000 dollars. No lives lost, or persons seriously injured, that we are aware of. " The English bark Funchal, lying within the bar, near the east end of the island, rode out the gale in safet7. ' " the street along the strand presented a ruinous spectacle on Monday morning, from the accumula tion of wood, lumber, boxes, barrels, wrecks of houses, and goods." THE CRISIS ix TEXAS.—Present appearances indi cate that the Texians are to have another struggle for the maintenance of their independence; and if suc cessful, it will probably be the" last. For months past, Santa Anna has been engaged in raising and drilling an army for the invasion of Texas, and he has also contrived to get together a respectable naval force, including two steamers from England, armed with Paixhan guns, and manned with British seamen. As preliminary to the invasion of Texas, he has sent his squadron and 1,700 soldiers to reduce Yucatan to subjection ; and should he succeed in this object, as he probably will (having already captured Laguna and the Yucatan flotilla) the whole disposable force of Mexico will be available for the invasion of Texas. And against Texas we have no doubt it will be di rected. We anticipate a combined attack by sea and land. While the Mexican squadron, with perhaps a land force in addition, operates against Galveston a n d vicinity,, the main army may b expected to enter from the west. A portion of this army according to the last accounts, had already surprised San Antonio, capturing the principal inhabitants, including the Judge and officers of the Court then in session, law yers, clients, and all. It seems strange that the vigi lant Texians should have allowed- themselves to be come over " so handsomely. A few months ago they took the alarm, and prepared for the defence. But the immediate danger having soon passed away, the militia were discharged, and affairs were suffered to go on as if the midst of a profound peace. Never since the declaration of independence was Texas more unprepared for a vigorous contest than at this moment. Her army is disbanded;—her ships' of war lie idle at New Orleans, for want of funds, when their presence is urgently needed on the coast of Texas and Yuca tan ;—her credit is utterly prostrate, and money she has none. Still, she has brave hearts and strong hands, and when the crisis comes, we trust she will be found equal to it. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.—Ocr. 15.

His grandfather re tained the powers of his mind to extreme old age, being aecustbmed to read one or more chapters every morning in the Greek Testament—a practice which he continued until he NAL3 upwards of ninety years of age. He once remarked that if old men would exer cise their minds voie, they would retain their intel lectual faculties aflong as they did their physical powers. Dr. Channing inherited the vigorous intel lect of this revered relative. Of the doctor's father we are not particularly in formed, but Dr. Channing himself, though for many years an invalid, was, in early life, quite vio . orous. Though small in stature, and possessing a ligheframe, he had muscular strength, and in college was con sidered an athletic young man. He was also one of the leading spirits in his class. During a part of his collegiate course, his friends expected that he would, on taking his degree, pursue the study of medicine ; but his attention was turned to the ministry by the Hollis professor of divinity in Harvard College, where Dr. Canning graduated. At commencement, when he took the degree of A. 8., he had a distin guished part, and was then looked upon by compe tent judges as one of the most promising young men of the day. Soon after, he went to Virginia, where he resided some time, we believe, as a teacher. H.:re he was supposed. by exposure or neglect of his health, to have undermined his constitution. He never fully recovered the robust state of health which he had pre viously enjoyed. In 1803, Mr. Channing was ordained over the con gregation in Federal-street, Boston. The lines be tween the Orthodox and Unitarian denominations were not, at that day, so distinctly drawn as they are at the present time. In fact, the term Unitarian was not in general use. Mr. Channing was considered a serious-minded young preacher, of irreproachable morals, with a cultivated mind, refined taste, unique eloquence, and leaning to evangelical views in theo logy. The Rev. Dr. Mason of this city, and other stanch divines of orthodox sentiments, in different parts of the country, used to preach in Mr. Channing's pulpit. Circumstances occasioned a more marked division of theological men, not many years after, and Mr. Channing's preaching and theological writings assumed a more decided character. His celebrated sermon at Baltimore at the ordination of the Rev. Jared Sparks (the historian) made this division more complete. Mr. Channing's congregation increased— his people erected a more spacious edifice on the site of the old church —and a colleague, the Rev. Mr. Gannett, was associated with him in the charge of the congregation. Dr. Channing's published sermons during the war of 1812 brought him into general notice throughout the country. Subsequently his review of the writings of Milton, the character of Napoleon Bonaparte, and other able performances, established his reputation among the eminent scholars and belles letters writers of the country and the world. The taunt of the Edinburghßeview, at an early period, that Dr. Chan ning " touched lofty keys, but with no very great force," was not echoed by the numerous readers and admirers of his writings. Dr. Channing's publications on the subject of American slavery have attracted no little attention throughout this country and Europe. He belonged to nu anti-slavery society—he even doubted the wisdom of these associations—but he was an uncompromising enemy to slavery, and thought, spoke, and wrote accordingly. One of the latest, if not the last performance of Dr. Channing, was on the Ist of August, the anniversary of eman cipation in the Britis West Indies, when he deli vered a discourse in Berkshire county, Massachusetts. A report of it was published, and attracted the admi ration even of those who do not espouse the cave in behalf of which Dr. Channing directed so much labour , and sympathy. Dr. Channing was a man of great independence of , mind. He was never swayed by popular applause to do an act which his principles condemned. He paid no respect to men on account of their wealth or office. He honoured moral worth wherever he found it. His sermons on the paternal character of God, on the loveliness of the example of Jesus Christ, on the evi dences of Christianity, and on political and moral in tegrity, are admirable. He spoke out, in intelligible terms, on conjugal infidelity and licentiousness. In the pulpit his gravity and solemnity exceeded that of most preachers, and many who boast of more correct theological principles might have taken useful lessons from him, not only in the pulpit, butinallh circumstance s ,social circles. In all circumstances, his feelings were under great self-command. On one occasion, dinner party, where a disting u i s h e d orthodox clergy.ataman overstepped the boundaries of propriety, Dr. Ching an a n t n hat., remarked on ano t t h o e t r h 0 e e person n n , e NN a ll r e h n i tri tt " e A at s i t d t e n n g e r e e . were greatly affected by the eloquence of a distin guished preacher, a professional brother, whose feel ings were easily excited, expressed_ astonishment that Dr. Channing appeared to b e so little moved. " My tears," said Dr. Channing, " are not so near my eyes as yours are." Dr. Channing had great contempt for ephemeral popularity, for offic e huntin g , for the e airs often as sumed by upstart aristocrats , for the tricks and com pliances of politicians. `What was worthy of esteem and veneration in men whether they we re rich or poor, white o r coloured, he reverenced, and could look w nin l down up on arrogance, ' folly, and the un p r i n cipl e d, i i r m tu at o e u d s , indignation. nation. II is elocution, as it h h aa pi b ty ee and peculiar—his eloquence unlike that of any other man. His preaching and his ENGLAND AND FRANCE. An opinion seems to be gradually spreading that the violent spirit of exasperation which for the present finds vent in the French journals, must eventually explode in war—that a fire is kindling which nothing but an effusion of blood will quench. There is no country in Europe possessing this frantic appetite for battle as France does. If France do eventually plunge into war, it will not be from the policy of her rulers, but from the passions of her people. In every other country where the people have intelligence, and such an amount of freedom as enables them to influ ence the political action of the Government under which they live, there is an indisposition to go to war. Men who use their reason are struck with the unrea sonableness of national wars. They can anticipate the cost of them to the nations which contend with each other, and the dreadful misery inflicted upon so many thousands who are actually engaged in the strife. The circumstance of thousands of men meeting in opposite bodies to kill or wound each other, for the purpose of producing an effect upon certain political arrangements, is in the abstract revolting to common sense, as well as to humanity. Yet we all k now t h at it is the ultima ratio of nations, and that if one nation will persist in doing what appears to another injuri ous, unjust, and unreasonable, there is nothing left but an appeal to force. The difference between the present and former periods, in respect to this matter, is the greater will ingness in these days to try every mode of adjust. nient, short of war, than was customary in the time of' our ancestors. War is not a part of the policy of' nations as it used to be, but an admitted extremity only to be resorted to when the resources of policy have been exhausted. In this view, the Government of' France appears to share, but not so the fiery mass of its population. Intoxicated with military vanity, burning with a desire to recover that military supre macy in Europe which was beaten down eight-and twenty years ago, and utterly destit u t e b o th o f moral principle, and the kindlier . feelings which shrink from the infliction of misery even upon a national enemy, the French populace are eager for the shedding of blood, and especially th e bl oo d o f England. Whether the Napoleon of Peace, as the present King of the French has been called, may succeed by wise policy in keeping off the occasion of war until this fever of the French popular mind is exhausted, we do not ven ture-to prophesy. But, as to the peoph', they sem to think that their tiger's claws have grown again since they were pared in Spain, in Russia, and on the field of 'Waterloo ; and they are eager to be once more let loose upon the objects of their hatied. But it is said that the French have learned the necessity of having wit in their anger, and have de cided that it would be much better to have Russia for an ally than an antagonist. No doubt this is the disposition of the more unscrupulous among the French war party. Even they who pretend to have firmly embraced the most exalted principles of Re publicanism, and who daily insult order in the name of liberty, would be happy to make an alliance with the despotic power of Russia, for crushing the reason able liberty and the national independence of all the rest of Europe. Knowing that this disposition exists in France, though perhaps alien from the views of its present Government, and taking into consideration the union of great ambition with extensive schemes of under working policy, which characterises the action of the Russian Govermnent, we think it prudent that Great Britain should speculate upon at least the possibility of a combination between Russia and France. But still more urgently does it behove the Middle States • of Europe to be on their guard, lest, after due pre paration, they should perhaps be crushed between tne gigantic military powers upon the South and the North. Certainly, I.e can imaoine no political corn ..., bination more like - ly to affect the national independ ence of the continent of Europe than a political com bination between France and Russia. We are very far from supposing that anything now immediately upon the carpet callsjor more apprehension of such a combination than might reasonably have been enter tained for some time past ; but a Contemporary having brought the subject into public discussion, it seems a fair opportiinity of saying a few words with reference to a possibility so important. With regard to our own national capabilities of engaging in important and expensive wars, a good deal of misunderstanding prevails in France, and this misunderstanding may probably be one of the reasons why a menacing and insulting tone towards this country is so freely indulged in by certain French journals. Our national resources are undoubtedly greater than ever they were, though that may seem incredible to foreigners, who hear of our declining revenue, and of our population plunged in distress. Though this be so, it ms not because the country is less wealthy, or less capable of furnishing all that is needful for a . great national struggle. We have the means, but something is wrong in respect to the chan- _ of the best securities which n e l i s t of is distribution. e lear th at one— Europe can have against war is the European opinion of the power of Great Britain to conquer and to punish the enemies of peace. If our rulers then Nvould prevent war, they inust seek to extirpate those appearances which lead foreign nations to suppos?. that Britain is becoming weak as a nation. For that pur pose let them bend all their energies to some system of remunerative employment for the people; and let them take as much care as possible that we do not throw away any of that capital upon the employment of foreigners which is so much wanted among our own working population.—Post. SHIPWRECK, AND STRANGE STORY OF THE SURVIVORS. A Correspondent, who witnessed the circumstances related below, gives the following account of them During the storm o f Tuesday last, the 25th, a ship was wrecked at this place (Eastbourne) under the fol lowing extraordinary circumstances. It strikes me, that the particulars ought to be made known. Soon after tour very ureclock a vessel was seen coming round Ba near to the land ; and it soon was evident that she would shortly be on shore. In a few minutes she struck on a ledge of rocks, called the Bolder-ridge, very nearly opposite to the sea-houses. We could distinctly read her name as she reeled round, " Watt, of Plymouth." The most intense anxiety pervaded every class of the numerous spectators. No boat, except the life-boat, could venture to put off, without a certainty of destruction; and many impatiently began to exclaim, Where is the life-boat? Why do they delay ? But it soon was shown that the persons to whom the care of her was intrusted were waiting, not from fear or indifference, but most wisely. She was crrried on wheels about half a mile westward, and then was launched. It was a most beautiful sight to see how rapidly and yet how steadily she cut through the foaming waves. And when she came away with ev e ry one of ehNive t fhoeifncatrhteee‘,v rescued and safe, her approach to land was more like an ar row f rom a bow, than the motio n of a bo at.

Consideiable suspicion was raised as to the truth of their r e p or t, but the general opinion is now that it is correct. They say it was their intention to take her to the first port they reached. Four or five boats are busily employed from morning to night in bringing her cargo, some very fine timber, on shore. As a stranger, I cannot but admire the judgment, zeal, and integrity which all persons in any manner brought into contact with this accident have shown throughout. Since writing the above, I have had an opportunity of examining more closely into this extraordinary case, and feel litt!e or no doubt that their story is quite true.
