The assured may proceed to any part of Europe without previously communicating with the Directors, or the payment of an additional Premium. No entrance money or other fee is charged.

The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly, on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commence ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of January next, should appear, or lodge their proposals at the Of fice, on or before that day. So various are the plans now before the public for effecting Assurance on Life, it may, at first sight, seem difficult to make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classification may be made :- Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions between Share and Stockholders and the assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equally distributed amongst the assured only. The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver tising rem): ted to, yet its advantages have been so well appre ciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed 41,' In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af.. pairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing have been reduced Forty-two and a Half per cent.

"The editor is entitled to the best thank s of the public and to something more, ito efficient patronage, for having furnished a series of publications calculated to economise time, and to me thodize business; he has skilfully arranged and got up with con siderable taste, a series that is decidedly superior to any under taking of the kind which has hitherto passed under our review." —The Atlas, Dec. 5. " One of the best arranged and most useful diaries that ever fell under our notice. It contains everything generally y found in Almanacks, and is prettily bound ; it is one of the neatest of the kind that we have yet seen ; the mere possession would tempt the most indolent to keep a daily journal of their idle ness."—The National Advertiser, Nov. 19.

" This is a manual to which we can give our unqualified commendation. We know not that we ever met with any work of its class more comprehensive or complete.

To that numerous class of our readers, the commercial travellers, we feel we arc rendering a service when we dire c t t h e i r attent i on to the ' Diurnal Recorder ;' which, within the space of a com mon pocket-book, furnishes every variety of information they can require in the transaction of their daily business."—Globe, Oct. 18. " This is decidedly the most valuable work of the kind which has appeared, and will, we confidently predict, find its way into every countinghouse, and into the hands of every man of business, when its merits become known." —Advertiser, Oct. 15. " But o'ur diary-maker does insist on the imperfections of former books of this kind, and on the excellence of his own, and he seems well entitled to hold this opinion. The ' Diurnal Recorder' is an admirable register of the professional arrange ments of all who have money to make, and , the pleasurable en gagements of all who have money to spend. "_Times, Oct. 20. " He has approached perfection so nearly, that the ' Diur nal Recorder,' as it exceeds all other works of that descrip tion, must take precedence of them. —Sunday Times, Oct. 30.

BIOGRAPHICAL' SKETCH'. OF THE HYGEIST. James Morison, the youngest son of Alexander Morison, Esq., was born at Bognie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great affluence and respectability. and the late Member for Banff shire, Juhn Morison, was the second brother of the subject of this brief sketch. In early life he studied at the University of Aberdeen, and afterwards at Hanau, in Germany, being in tended for the mercantile profession. After finishing his studies he resided at Riga, as a merchant, and subsequently in the West Indies, where he acquired considerable West India property. Having suffered much from ill-health, he was obliged to leave that country and proceed to Europe, seekinse, from change of climate, a restoration to health. About the year 1814 ho settled at Bordeaux, where he resided in gnat respectability. It is now twenty years ago that, by his discovery and perseverance, he accomplished his own extraordinary cure. We cannot do better than transcribe the following interest ing particulars given by himself in the " Morisoniana :" . A thirty-five years' inexpressible suffering, both of body and mind, is an event, too, which falls but to the lot of few, if of any at all. Had it pleased God to have called me out of this world eight years ago, I should have died as another man, and been forgotten, and the world could have reaped no benefit from my case and misfortunes, nor from the favourable effects produced by the same means on my children. This is a guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a con vincing proof of the motto prefixed to this advice, that ' health and old age arc within the reach of us all.' " For the remainder of the case see his " Biographical Sketch," by his sons and successors, p. 3.

He has just concluded a commercial treaty with the Porte on behalf of his Government, and is now bound to . Athens to nego tiate a similar treaty with the Greek Cabinet. Con sidering he is not y et seven'and-twenty,it is naturally thought somewhat remarkable, and exceedingly cre ditable to his ability, that this young diplomatist should already have successfully negotiated treaties of c ommerce with Persia and the Porte, and be now, as I have just said, on his way to. Greece for the purpose of concluding a treaty of tie same nature between the Hanseatic Republic and the Government of King Otho. Horace Walpole tells the annexed anecdote of a humane jailer in Oxfordshire, who made the follow ing application to one of his condemned prisoners :-- " My good friend, I have a little favour to ask of you, which, from ymir obliging disposition, I d ou bt not you will readily grant. You are ordered for exe cution on Friday week. I have a particular engage rnmt on that day ; if it makes no difference to you, would you say next Friday instead ? " Hors.—During the past week several hop-betting dinners have taken place in Canterbury. The duty fr next year is, we understand, in every instance set at 150,0001.—Kentisk Gazette. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, FROJI TUE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLCBE.—The Edinburgh Witness, the organ of the scotch Non-Intrusionists, has the lowing ratlit7 ull^aming paragraph on the approaching euthanasia of Anglican Prelacy : "It is rumoured, that within these few days a letter has been received by her Majesty from the King of the French, strongly recommending the re cognition of the Pope as the head of the Church, statiog as a reason for such extraordinary counsel, the universal peace at present prevailing throughout the world. As might have been expected, it is said to have created a great sensation in the Palace. We have also heard that the Pope is expected to conse crate in person, of course with unusual splendour, the Romish cathedral, now erecting in the neighbourhood of Westminster Abbey." IVe " believe we can safely affirm," to borrow the Standard phrase, that these tidings are premature. Unless in the event of the Whigs return;ng to office, we do not expect a Concordat with the Papal See to take place for the next ten years. We have not, indeed, " authority" to state that nothing of the kind is contemplated ; and with so staunch a champion for unity of the Church in the Ministry as Mr. Gladstone, and so large a phalanx of Oxford Jesuitry who have megarded that statesman as " the hope Ot Troy"—it would be rash to say what designs may not exist of doing the civil to his Holiness. There is Lord John Manners, who writes in the Church of • England Quarterly that we should send Rome an ambassador; but we are not aware that his 'Lordship would go any further in the way of polite attentions, or would recommend the admis sion of a Papal Nuncio to Cabinet Councils. We should not wonder, if her Majesty should return to the bosom of the true Church, to see many a Conser vative statesman who would attend her, like the Mi nisters of James the Second, to the door of the Chapel Royal, and some who, like those, would ex tend their courtiership a step farther. There are lots of Monks ready made, who like Mr. Faber, in his " Sights and Thoughts in Foreign Lands," pass strictures already on the liberty of marriage which Pro testant parsons allow themselves (a liberty which Heaven usually blesses with at least an average increase and multiplication). There are writers, like those of the British. Critic, who declare the necessity of un protestantising our Church, and deplore " our un happy dferences with Rome." There are parsons, up and down the country, who are making every thing smart, in the way of wax candles, and embroidered surplices, to receive his Holiness, if he should visit us. There is, in short, in a section of our Church, every desire to shake off the low connection of Protestant parvenus, and to represent ourselves as the nearest relatives of " Lord Peter," entitled to take airs ac cordingly. STANDARD.—Of the ten towns that have been contributing to the League-fund, two, Manchester and Rochdale, the head-quarters of the "decoy ducks" of the League, contribute considerably more than one-third of the whole sum collected, and the ten comprise much of the greater part, and beyond comparison the richer part of the territory of the mill owner autocracy. The collection of one-fourth of the projected fund, were it a bona fide collection, in this millowner-ruled district, would prove little either for the popularity of the subscription, or for its ultimate success, is the collection, however, a bona fide collection? We confess that re doubt it. Nothing can be easier than to say that any assign able sum has been collected, if no account of its disbursement is to be rendered—pnd, as we have seen in the case of the missing 100,000/., the League scorns to render any account. And here we would submit a caution to persons invited to contribute their money upon the faith that so much has been alrealy subscribed. It is no uncommon artifice of penniless swindlers to solicit a partnership with simple persons possessing some money, on the pre tence that they, the swindlers, will advance an equal sum, and undertake to conduct the joint concern for the common benefit. The bait is taken ; the swindler, who never contributed a penny, or had a penny to contribute, lives upon the profits of his dupe's money, postponing the day of account ; and it commonly happens that the latter, in the end, finds all lost .in - some wild speculation. Now, may not the Leaguers be playing this game ? May not they merely pretend to advance their four or five thousand pounds, in order to extract from others as much, of which they are to have the management, and of which they are to render no account? Such things have becu done, and we see nothing in the character of the principal Leaguers to negative the suspicion that they may be recurring to the old trick. Men who withhold accounts are always to be suspected MONEY M.AR,KET and G.TY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The tenders for the Canada loan will be made at the Treasury to-morrow morning. Little notice has been taken of the matter in the City to-day, but it is rumoured that there are parties prepared to bid for the whole amount. The feeling that a thorough alteration is required in the American tariff, and that the people of the United States have yet to take a lesson from the com mercial liberality of this country, seems, by the pre sent American papers, to be spreading more and more. One great matter which is desired is the ex tension of the right of export to goods passed through the interior of the country, to Canada on the north, to Texas on the south, or any other neighbouring people. The laws of England authorising the im-, portation of almost all sorts of merchandise into Canada, by way of the United States, are com mended for their liberal spirit ; and while the free trade party are willing to believe that the policy of England is to turn away trade from the canals of the United States to the St. Lawrence, they say people have no right to grumble while they themselves are diverting trade to a larger amount. Another modifiea- I tion which is desired in the existing code of commer cial law is the introduction of a warehousing system, by which goods may be placed in the Government stores, and remain there without payment of duty till entered for home consumption ;no duty to be paid if the goods are exported. A permission to the im porters to receive their goods from the ship at once, with liberty to secure the duties by bonds at three and six months, would, it is thought, be a wise pro vision, inasmuch as the present system of cash duties are found exceedingly burdensome to the merchants •e rr nt he U wi n t i h te t d ho S se ta o t fesilaanvadnnparheN.them from impression ocom petingfthe alto gether seems to be, that it is the present system alone which hinders the ports of the United States from being depositories of goods from all parts of the world intended for re-shipment. The indictment of Colonel Webb is a common topic Of discussion among all the American papers , since not only d oes the well-known character of the pri soner as editor of the Morning. Courier, render him an object of interest, but the measure of justice with he is threatened is so very severe, that it would seem the judicial authorities are determined to make an example of him, for th e general prevention of that habit of duelling which is so prevalent in the United States. The Colonel is neither indicted for giving nor receiving a c halleng - e, but simply for leaving the State with the - intent of giving or receiving one. The law under which he is indicted is as follows : section 1. Every person who shall fight a duel with any deadly weapon, although no death ensue, shall, upon conviction, be punished by imprisonment in a State prison for a term not exceeding ten years. " 2. Every person . who shall challenge another to fight such duel, or who shall send or deliver any written or verbal message purporting or intended to be such challenge ; or who shall accept any such challenge or message ; or who shall knowingly carry or deliver any such challenge or message; or who shall be present at the time of fighting any duel with deadly weapons, either as second, aid, or surgeon ; or who shall advise or give any countenance or assistance to such duel; shall, upon conviction, be punished by imprisonment in a State prison for a term not exceed ing seven years. 5. If any inhabitant of this State shall leave the same, for the purpose of eluding the operation of the provisions herein contained respecting duelling or challenges to fight, with the intent of . giving or re ceiving any challenge herein prohibited, or of aiding or abetting in giving or receiving such challenge, and shall give or receive any such challenge, or shall aid and abet in giving and receiving the sam e , w i t h out this State, shall - be deemed as guilty, and shall be subject to the like punishment, as if ,the offence had been committed within this State." Marshall, who would have been his antagonist, in consequence of several violent articles in his paper, was without the reach of the l aws o f New York, not being a citizen of the State, and th e o ff ence n ot h av i ng been committed within it s b o undaries, the Colonel remained the sole object of judicial prosecution. Having pleaded guilty to the indict , - , meat, Colonel Webb was committed to the " Tombs," there to await his sent ence.

CHRONICLE.—This was settling day in the Foreign Stock Market. .Money was extremely eau-, and there having been no speculative action durin? the running of the Account, the business of the dar was easily adjusted. The notice that the fourth hall. yearly dividend on the New Spanish Threes, due the, 31st inst., would be paid by the London agents from. and after the 2d proximo, produced a further improve.- inept of 1 per cent. in those securities, the New? Threes having closed at 241 to i. The advices received to-day, by the packet-ship. Roscius, from 'flew York, state that, by a law passed last session of the Legislature,, the New Orleans, banks were ordered to resume payment in specie on Monday, the sth day of December iost. The banks whose course is most looked to, in this respect, are the Bank of Louisiana, the Canal Bank, City Bank, Commercial Bank Consolidated Association, Louisi ana State Bank, Mechanics' and Traders', anti the Union Bank. Two of these, the Bank of Louisiana and the Mechanics' and Traders' Bank, are stated to have resumed at the date of these advices, and the remaining six were expected also to obey the law. A large amount of specie had been received in Nesi Orleans, the total between the period from the 21st October to the 14th November inclusive, being stated! at 1,843,013 dols., exclusive of about 300,000 dols.. received per Mobile and the Diver, during the months of September, October, and November. Specie be gan to flow into New Orleans about . the Ist of Sep. tember, and large shipments of coin were still ex pected.. Exchange on London at New York, fik to 61, with little doing, on the 23d November. The Philadelphiabanks are said to have two millions and a quarter of dollars in specie in their vaults, which ex ceeds the amount of their circulation. First rate paper, out of doors, in Philadelphia, was readily nego tiated at from 6to 9 per cent. A sale by order of the Court of Chancery took place in New York on the 24th November, which sold in 1836 for 40,000 dols. The same property was purchased, at the above mentioned date, for 22,100 dols. Several parcels of Pennsylvania Stock were offered to public sale, in lots, on the same day, the Governor and Secretary of State being present. These Stocks, which paid dividends in 1841, and which cost 2,925,799 dols., were not to be sold under a price fixed previously. The Executive reserved the right to buy in the stocks on behalf of the State. Of 3,750 shares of the Penn sylvania Bank Stock, ten were put up at 50 dols., and not sold. Ten shares, out of 5,233 Philadelphia Bank were then put up at 65 dols., and not sold. Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank Stock, and Ochryhill Navigation Company, also passed without bids. Penn sylvania and Ohio Canal Company, 90 shares in nine lots, bid up to 46, 59, CO, 69, 72, and 73 dols., when the sale was stopped. Ten shar es c f th e olum bia Bridge were bid in at 81 dols. per share. An un successful attempt was then made to sell some of the "no dividend stocks." For the Union Canal no sales. Twenty shares of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal were bid in by the Secretary of the Commonwealth, at 20 dol. 'lhe sale was then adjourned to the Ist of March. We take the above account of the proceedings from the New York He rald, which adds :—" Thus ended the imposing and novel ceremony of the Executive of a sovereign State putting up its property to sale for the means of paying its debts. Mr. Nicholas Biddle has published a series of letters in the American papers, advocating the doctrines of good faith, and the sacredness of public engagements. Ile denounces the " repudiators" in the most severe terms. What effect such advice may have from that notorious person remains to be seen, but we wish the good cause had been in other hands. POST.—Theadvertisement of the payment of dividends on the Three per Cent. Spanish bonds, being for the fourth half year, includes no provision for the payment of - the Treasury bonds formerly advertised to be paid off, and now more than six years overdue. The holders of the said securities, accordingly, repeat their well-founded complaints of the treatment to which they are subjected at the hands of the Spanish Government, as exhibited in their total neglect of those privileged and preferable obligations. Down to the present day they have never received one farthing of their due, either in interest or principal, although the payment of the one and the other was advertised in the London journals just as that of the dividends on the new Three per Cents., a recently accrued debt, is advertised at the present time; and the partiality shown in the business is a very serious aggravation of the more substantial in justice practised upon the holders in the long and dogged refusal of payment of their legitimate de mands. The interest of the Three per Cent. stock is advertised for payment at the end of the month, but the capital of the debt accrued only at the close of 1840 ; while of the Treasury bills advertised for pay ment by the Ambassador, both principal and interest were due in 18:37. Of course, nothing can be more tantalizing to the sufferers, or more fatal to the credit of t heir oppressors.

We have received advices from her Majesty's ship Formidable, dated Port Mahon, the 6th instant. Every one on board was safe and well. The Formidable had been towed into that port by the Cyclops steamer, having lo s t h er ru dder, and sustained other material damage when she grounded at the mouth of the Llobregat River. The particulars of the accident which have reached us, contained in a private letter from an officer of the ship, are as follow :—The captain, Sir Charles Sullivan, and his guest, the Bishop, were at dinner at three o'clock, when land was reported in sight which was clearly made out, and the ship was proceeding towards the entrance of the Llobregat river, when at eight o'clock she struck heavily on the sand, and he rudder was immediately afterwards unshipped and carried away. The Rodney pro videntially hove in sight, and with her assistance and that of two French steamers, and by the great exertions of her own crew, she was, after having been aground 28 hours, dragged into deep water. The wea ther was calm and clear, but with a heavy rolling sea. The damage she has sustained is considerable, includ ing the loss of the rudder, the forefoot, the greater part of the false keel, a considerable portion of the main keel, and a leakage of eight inches an hour whilst at anchor. The Formidable is now at Port Mahon refitting. Orders have gone out for her recal home, it being the intention of the Admiralty to pay off several ships of the line almost immediately. The Formidable was floated mainly by the assistance of the Rodney, whose two best bower-anchors, in addition to her own, were got out and hove on. TILE FIRST STEAMER AT PLOCKTON7 ROSS-SHIRK— On the west coast last week, the steamer Toward Castle called at this village, on her way to Lochcarron, where she was for wool, purclipsed by her owners from Mr. Scott, Tullich; this is the first purchase of the kind that navigated our inland locks, consequently the effect produced by her appearance on those who never saw a steamer was really ludicrous, as they were, both young and old, exerting their utmost speed trying who would sooner reach the nearest to her, and those who had not time to put on their clothes (as she passed very early) were standing naked in the doors of their houses, beholding with admir a ti on t h e grandeur and unexcelled con: traction of " Bata dubh na smuide ' " as she was winding her cou rse ma j est i ca ll y un d er t h e impending heights of Crag Dallaig and Crag Atta dail, which so forcibly attract the attention of the stranger as he sails under those stupendous rocks. — Ross-shire Advertiser.
