Meteor and the Petulance colt were backed freely for the 2,000 Guineas Stakes, and no other mentioned. The only novelty in the Derby was the ad vance of Canadian to 14 to 1, and the restoration of The Lord of Ilnlderness to 25 to 1 (offers), a tolerably strong proof that those who betted long odds against on the strength of his break down had received the' " wrong office."

DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED. SuecuoN—Fred. Hale Thomson, Esq., 4S, Berners-street. SEC nurAßY—Patrick i\lacintvre, Esq. This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia ment, without limited responsibility, affords the "[mat perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834, and the large accumulation of Premiums which has taken place. On the Ist cf July, 1-41, the Company, at their General Meeting declared an addition of one-half to the Sums paid by the Stockholders, and appropr:ated to those holding Assurances at the participating rate 2/. per Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies, so that the addition to a policy for 1,000/, in force for the previous 5 years, has been 100/., mak ing it an all 1,100/. The Premiums payable to the Company are nevertheless very moderate, and only one- half of them, when the Insurance is for life, need be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy. Insurances may be effected on lives, however far advanced ; and the credit for five years is found particu:arly conven•ent on such insurances, and for the security of Temporary Loans. Annuities are granted on very liberal terms. The great facilities afforded by the Company, in these and other respects, are such that it really appears a moral duty in every parent who is not postessed of a fortune, but of an in come, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a provision to his family.

This Corporatior. was es•ablished in the year 1832 ; its opera tions are carried on in the village of Kemal-green, on the Har row-road. The expectations of its projectors and most san guine supporters have been more than realised. The dividend declared in June, 1841, was 6 per cent., a fact which, coupled with.the increasing objection, manifested by all classes, to in terments being any longer permitted in the Metropolis, leads to the inevitable conclusion that this undertaking will rank as one of the safest and most proatale to which this age of Corn panics has given rise.

Some persons seem to suppose that they ought to approve of the tariff, because many of the agriculturists disapprove of it. If no other reason can he assigned in its favour it ought to be given up. It never can be for the interest of one class in the community to injure another class, and we have always, in advocating the total abolition of the Corn and Provision-laws, been sin o .rely convinced that such a measure would benefit the farmers. The tariff, on the contrary, will, we believe, not benefit them ; nor do we think it Is ill confer much benefit on any class of consumers ; and, therefore, we cannot eagerly join in the demand for the tariff at any price, because the farmers complain of it. The principal feature, as far as they aro concerned, is the permission to import live cattle at a certain rate of duty, and a reduction of duty on meat. when imported. Now the injustice of this towards the farmers is that it will diminish their gains and not diminish their charges. The abolition of the Corn-laws would diminish their charges more than it would diminish their gains. They employ little or no labour to rear cattle. " A looker in Romney. Marsh," says Mr. ELLMAN, " is perhaps the only mun'employed on a thousand acres of land." There will be for the farmers, then, no reduction in the cost of producing cattle, while the Legislature proposes arbi trarily, not justly, to lower the price of cattle in the market. There is another consideration which affects the land owner rather than the tenant. Under the Tithe Com mutation Act, the tithe has been commuted into a rent charge, the amount of which is annually determined by the price of wheat, barley, and oats, for the preceding seven years. Now, a reduction in the price of either of these species of corn would lower the rent-charge ; but reducing the price of meat can only have such an effect indirectly; and this part of the tariff, therefore, will confer an undue advantage on the tithe-owners. It is one of those covert means of transferring property, though it be only to a small amount, from one class to another, which the Legislature has no right whatever to adopt, and against which every man, who respects property, ought to protest. The reduction too, in the price of cattle ought to be taken in conjunction with the great reduction which has been made in the protecting duties on spring corn. In the House of Lords last night the Duke of CLEVELAND presented a petition from Shropshire against that reduc tion, and we think that Sir R. PEEL by this part of his Corn-law has really sacrificed the growers of oats in Ireland and elsewhere to the growers of wheat. Thus, while he has diminished the Irotecting duty on wheat, at the price at which it is usually imported, by a scarcely appreciable quantity, he has reduced the duty on barley from 12s. 4d. to 55., or 140 per cent., the duty on oats from 9s. 2d. to 35., or 200 per cent., and the duty on rye, beans, and peas from 16s. 9d. to 65., or 170 per cent. Now either the present law must have been grossly dis proportionate in the amount of protection it afforded to the cultivation of the different grains, or Sir 11. PEEL'S law is. In either case we have a proof of the ignorance and inefficiency of the law-makers. At the same time the great alteration proposed by Sir R. PEEL is a manifest injury —on - his own abominable principle of settling prices, and affording protection equally to different classes—to the growers of oats, barley, and rye, as compared to the growers of wheat. There is a still further consideration. These inferor grains enter but little into the consumption of the people, except in Ireland and Scotland, and some parts of the North of England ; and, consequently, the reduction in the price of them will only affect wages in Scotland and Ireland. It is one of these changes, therefore, that will have little effect in reducing the charges of the farmers, and a considerable effect in reducing his gains. The alteration may probably lead also to the increased consumption of rye, barley, and oats, for food, and our people will fall back, in consequence of its comparative cheapness, on the black bread, which, as uted by tho Germans, is such a bugbear to the Tories. If it be desirable to encourage the people everywhere to subsist on wheaten bread, rather than on rye and barley bread, the great reduction i.; the duties on spring corn will have a contrary effect. If these alterations in the Corn-laws and the tariff were to have all the beneficial effects which Sir 11. PEEL and his partisans ascribe to them, we should still oppose them as parts of an erroneous and unjust system. Sir R. PEEL has said more than once that the alterations in the tariff will reduce prices and benefit all classes, without injuring any one. It is his duty, then, as a legislator—he is bound, by the strongest objections—to propose those alterations without coupling them with an oLnoxious income tax. He, however, offers these ad vantages, which he is not justified in withholding — which, to withhold, would really make him out a malicious wretch, instead of a beneficial states man—as a bribe to allow him to fix an income tax on the whole people, and they are, unfortunately, willing to accept the bribe. What they ought to de mand as a right they consent to receive as a boon, and for that give up something more valuable than what they receive. According to the latest edition of his tariff, the new timber duties are not to come into operation till Octo ber, which will save half the sum he calculated on losing by the alteration of the duties, or 300,000/.

James Ridgw a y, Pi cca dill y ; an d Siminns and llinham, Manchester. ~~,, ,r~ 17 4,./ .2-- lE me-e' -e--6-x- e_-4 ---4-- have incorrectly augmented the deficiency on tine yea r by 100,0001. The reduction of price, he anticipates, can only be the result of the importation of consider able quantities of food paying duties, which will add to the Exchequer. He has, therefore, tar less noed than be makes out for en income tax, except that he is pre raring for war with America, which be and the Tories prefer to free trade (for, had the Corn-law been abo lished, we should never have heard of that meeting at New York which our Journal to-day records, uor heard of a proposition to increase the import duties into America), and preparing for war against liberty in. France ; and, except as a means of preparing for war, he could dispense with the income tax. The whole plan is a fraud on the people, fur it is brought forward, as the Times admits, on false pretences. We ought, therefore, at once to scout such a petty advantage as the tariff; when it is accompanied by such a gross iniquity as an income tax, to maintain a Corn-law and promote the horrors of war. On all these accounts, and we might dwell on some others, it seems to us advisable not to press the tariff; which is in many points so essentially unjust against the wishes of the farmers. It involves a new distribution of property by the Legislature, which ought always to be resisted. Better would it be, therefore, for the menu facturers, and townspeople, and their representatives, to make common cause with the farmers and their friends in o, posing the tariff, and so get rid of that, the income tax, and PEEL together. The present system is far too much damaged to be continued by any set of men, or any combination of politicians, however unprincipled. To break up the monopolist Administration, therefore, will be a short cut to throwing overboard the whole system •of protection, which continually requires the Legislature to be dabbling and meddling with the pro perty of the people, and to obtaining complete per fect, and enduring free trade. It can scarcely admit of a doubt that the claims of the aristocracy to fill the high station they occupy will not bear investigation. Prescription and custom are the foundations of their power, which is threatened by the very act of inquiry. The habit of the mind, on which their authority depends, is totally at variance with investigation, and must cease carrying their authority with it as inquiry extends. The conduct of the at istocracy consequently, which provokes an in quiry into their claims and privileges, is for them full of danger. The result, if not imme diate, yet at no distant day, will be to place the aristocracy in that position which their merits and their services to society destrve, and not in that position which the aristocracy filled with some propriety a few centu- ries ago. Of such inquiries we have seen none more complete • and exhaustive, as far as the investigation goes, than is carried on by the author of a pamphlet called Aristo cratic Taxati,n ; its Present State, 4-e. Not contented with proving, in opposition to the interested assertion of the landlords, that the land is subjected to no peculiar burdens, the author shows that a considerable portion of our customs and excise duties, 10,000,0001 at lost are for the purpose of protecting the land. lie adds to this other taxation levied on the people for the behoof of the aristocracy, and arrives at the conclusion that the total overcharge . of taxation on the middle and lower classes for the behoof of the aristocracy, is not less than twenty eight millions per year. Not contented, moreover, with merely proving the fact, the author traces the injustice historically from the beginning of the feudal system downwards, and properly concludes that this system is not yet extinct amongst us. He has produced, at a very appropriate time, a most useful work, which will help to swell the tide of opinion now rolling in heavily against the aristocracy. We shall 'hereafter find an opportunity probably of quoting a passage or two from the book ; we only wish now to guard ourselves from the supposition that we draw any conclusion against the aristocracy from the mere fact that, in the earlier ages of society land bore a much larger share, indeed the whole, of the burdens of taxation, than at present. There was a time when land and its produce constituted the only property. The increase of other property is the necessary consequence of the progress of society. It is quite right that commerce and manufactures, as they come into existence, should bear some of the burdens of so ciety. Fleets are maintained, in a great measure, for the protection of commerce. Consular and diplomatic officers are chiefly required to protect those persons who visit foreign countries for purposes of trade. Many of the expenses, therefore, of modern States aro caused by the extension of manufactures and commerce, and those who profit by them ought to pay a due share the cost cost of protection. It is not, therefore, because in the progress of society we find commercial and manufacturing, or personal property contributing, in relation to the land, more and more to the necessities of the State, that we conclude that the landlords throw on others the burdens they ought to bear. We must have proofs of the particular acts by which they have done this, such as their passing the law for subjecting personal property to a probate duty, and exonerating the land—and the utility of the present pamphlet consists in this, that it supplies those proofs. If the aristocracy hope to stifle inquiries into their merits, and hope, after such inquiries, to retain their present high place, they are assuredly most mistaken. Mn. GLADSTONE'S PROPOSED COLONIAL TARIFF.— British North America, scarcely raising sufficient corn or meat for home consumption, cannot victual her ships so cheaply as the United States ; freights from the northern ports of the Republic to the West- Indies will consequently be much lower than from New Brims , with or Canada, and freight in the conveyance of so bulky an article as timber is an important constituent of price to the consumer. Under the new Colonial customs' tariff the northern colonies will lose the transport of flour and meat to the West Indies, which enabled their ship owners to keep down the freight of timber ; but now that the new tariff will deprive them of that transport, and ' take from American timber all protection in the colonies of the West Indian Archipelago, the lower freights of American ships Will transfer the export of timber from British North America ti the United States, will de prive British colonial navigation of freights to the yearly value of 200,000/., and British colonial trade of annual exportation of timber to the amount of 700,900/., will destroy the colonial capital invested in that shipping, and in the mills and other establishments for the preparation of wood for the West Indies.—Morning Herald. [This statement is worth attending to for its admissions. In consequence of bounties on timber-cutting, &c., as has been over and over again proved, the colonists are induced to neglect agriculture ; and of that the consequence is, that they cannot victual their ships so cheaply as the inhabitants of the United States. Our bounties then inflict a mortal injury on the colonies. In spite, too, of all the encouragement given to our des titute labourers to go to our colonies, which should pro vide them with labour at a cheap rate, the Americans undersell our people. All the excuses of an old and new country which are usually put forth to justify our suicidal policy, and account for the success of the Americans, fall to the "round in this case, for our colonies have an abundance of land, and are quite as newly peopled as the American States. The system of Government, the ex travagant meddling system of Goyernment,which prevails in the colonies, and the comparatively cheap and free system of the United States, are the causes of the (Id te-ence, and why our colonies do not thrive as fast as the United States. This is the Tory system, alike mis chievous to the colonies and the mother country, but the Tories themselves have been now compelled to deal it a blow under which it reels, and from the effects of which it will never recover.] I CITY OF LONDON THEATRE. Kotzebue's much admired drama of The Stranger, " ;ur tai ed (we quote from the bill) for the purpose into two acts," was produced at this house last evening. for the purpose of in troducing Mr. Wellington, who sustained the character of the Stranger, to a London audience. As far as we could judge from the very absurd curtailment of this beautiful five-act play into two, Mr. Wellington was eminently successful in the chi r'acter of the Stranger, and an universal call for him at the ter niinat ion of the piece testified that the audience participated in our opinion; every allowance should be made for the difficulty of having to say as much in the space of an hour andt(qtierter as generally required three hours. The part of Mrs. Hanel. was sustained by Al rs. Atkinson ; to a charming person, this lady unites a just conception and an excellent delivery; seldom. falls to our lot to witness a better impersonation of this cha racter. The little part of Francis was exceedingly well ex ecuted by Mr. Melbourne ; the other parts were sustained by the company in a very creditable manner. Dunn, as Peter, was very amusing, and our old friend, 31h , s E. Terry, was all that she ought to be in the lively little part of Charlotte. Th e House was very well attended. It will be recollected that the wife and sister of a waterman named Coombs, the winner of a rowin g matc h, were unfortunately drowned, with a child belongi ng t o cue of the women, on the evening of the m atc h , o ff Ch elsea, last autumn, and some Jays elapsed before the body of th e infant., and Mrs. Coombs, its mother, were found. On Tues day afternoon the body of Mrs. Goodrum, a watennan's wife, and the sister of Coombs, was found in the Thames, off Horse. lvdown, after seven months had transpired, in a very decom posed state. The relatives of the deceased identified the body., The Journal de Caen says. that the gossips of the town of Pontorson have been lately in a state of agitation, in c onsequence of a strong and heavy chest, bound with iron clasps, and shut veith padlocks, being found in a house lately :‘urchased by aM. T.—. The new propretor, in making some changes in his acquisition, came accidentally on the trea sure-trove—for so the gossips of the town declare it to be. But the contents of the chest are unknown, except to the owner. who keeps the a. cret to himself. SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION, APRIL 14.—The rent Bade Humphrey St. John Mildmay, who has forsaken the pa t rintin politics of his family, the ancient Winchester Mildmays, has issued an address to the electors of Southampton, claiming their suffrages.
