The Corporation has effected Life Assurances for a period of more than 125 years, its first policy having been issued on:the 7th of June, 1721. The extent of its business and connexions, the security afforded by its large capital, its long standing, its advantages to Assurers, and the liberality of its transactions, strongly recommend it to the public. Two-thirds of the gross profits are awarded to the assured, and the expenses of managing the Life Department are not, as is usual, taken from the premium fund, but are defrayed by the Corporation out of their one-third share of the profits, thus giving to the As sured all the advantages of Mutual Assurance, without liability of partnership, and the security of an ancient and opulent Cor poration. Its tables have been formed on the lowest scale, to meet the varied views of Assurers, by affording to them the option of the following several advantages :—Firstly, of participating in the profits of the Corporation by abatements frola annual premiams ; or, secondll, by making additions to the sums assured by way of bonus payable at death; or, thirdly, by a money payment at the division of profits ill every fifth year, whilst from those who desire to limit their assu ances to a given suns without participation in profits, the lowest possible rate of premium is required, as will be evinced by tables ex pressly prepared for the Corporation, which may be lia4 on applica ion at their offices, and which have been constructed for meeting the various wants of Assurers, and every risk to which protection by assurance can be extended. The bonuses made to Assurers have at some of the periods of di vision been upwards of 50 per cent., and for three of the lowest years the average bonus has been equal to from 241, to 23 per cent., or from 3 to 31!, per cent. per annum on the sum assured, varying according to the age of the life.

PUBLIC NOTICE. - WAR. AGAINST RIGHT.—The Diamond Lamp is perfect—Puy no other.— The so-called Carcel Lamps are leaky and worthless. All who have bought them, know this too well. These Carcel Lamps are puffed off for the Diamond Lamp—• What a delusion ! What an absurdity to think thus to triumph over public opinion. The language that describes CLARK'S DIAMOND LAMP is copied to eulogize these Carcel Lamps. The Metropolitan Light Company, to end these impositions, give this notice, so that by all demanding the Diamond Lamp, the de ceptive Carcel Lamp can no more be sold.—The Diatnond Lamp bears a Label, on which is inscribed " CLARK'S PATENT DIA MOND OIL LIGHT," so all can know the Lamp. The Diamond Lamp with the Eight New Lights are always burn ing at the Establishment of the Metropolitan Light Company.

A R R I A G E. lei One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em 'aater the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. rhysical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour andjusticedemand that health should form as item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er aeglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

ALARM OF FIRE AT CHELSEA HOSPITAL.—On Tuesoay, at half-past six r.m., some of the veterans of Chel sea ob*erved flames of fire apparently issuing from the roof of the main building of the wards. The s word was passed, and the fire alarm was beat by the drums, and Colonel Leb lane, the commandant, w ith a large party o f men, were immediately upo n th e spot, with the engines of the establish. ment, fully prepared to act with vigour and effect. It was found, however, on repairing to the roof of the building, that although there were good grounds for alarm, and that danger was imminent, no damage had actually been sustained. The plumbers who had been repairing the lead -work of the roof had left the place at dusk, and had negligently forgotten to extinguish the fire in their portable stove, the blazing of - which, as the twilight faded, attracted the attention of the watchful veterans of the hospital. Great credit is due to the hospital staff for the promptness with which they answered the summons of the alarm sounded by the drum.

By the above abstract it will be seen that a reduction is shown of no less than 1,357,8701. for the ensuing year. But it should be remarked that the charge for the " con vict department" and for the " contract packet service," hitherto provided for by the navy estimates, is now pro vided for sepurately, the one having been transferred to the Treasury miscellaneous estimates, and the other in cluding also the expense of the packet service porformed by her Majesty's mail vessels under a distinct estimate " for the Post-office department." The votes for these services during the present year was 816,9621., which being deducted from 1,357,8701., shows the actual reduc tion in the navy estimates for 1849-50, from the sum voted for 184849, to be 640,9081. This sum is to be saved principally by the reduction of 1,500 seamen and 1,500 marines—wages and provisions, 109,3741.; scien tific branch, 24,4101.; wages to artificers, Scc., 46,5831.; naval stores, 188,3441. ; new works improvements, 234,6671. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. _ - SIR,—As a very old subscriber to your paper, you have often allo we d me a little space on which to record my feelings and sentiments. Pray extend to me now this privilege, and allow me to pour out in unstudied language the surprise and indignation which the perusal of your leading article of this evening has aroused in my mind. I confess, Sir, that I shall not attempt in this note to argue against the wrong which I think you have com mitted; to argue with an able political editor, and that in his own paper, involves many considerations, and re quires some leisure; but a newspaper we have long and constantly read and approved, takes such a hold upon our feelings, and becomes in our imagination so much our own, that we instinctively wish it to bear some marks of our own feelings on the subject -matter it contains. You are not hero, Sir, to bear us ofttimes exclaim " Bravo !" while reading your leaders, neither are you here this evening to see our in dignant astonishment. Do let me, then, write it, that our owe paper may, at least, have in it to-morrow some thing like ourselves. Sir, your leading article almost commences with a falsehood (forgive the word); for after stating that " the Neapolitan and Sardinian Sovereigns are prepared, with the concurrence of all the Powers of Chri,tendont, to in tervene simultaneously in the territories of the Pupal States and of Tuscany" to reinstate the Pope, you ae• sert that " not the most earnest of those lovers of liberty who recoil from the notion of foreign intervention in the settlement of the government of any country, will lament the fact of the arrangement here intimated." Sir, I am one of those earnest lovers of liberty, and I am surrounded with other like lovers of liberty, and wo do all recoil with amazement and indignation at such an intimation. If foreign intervention in the government of " any country" be wrong, how can it be right towards Italy? You speak of the " rights of the banished Sovereigns." What rights have Sovereigns as sovereigns independent of the wishes of the People t Surely the old and childish nonsense that one man has a divine right to tyrannize over millions, or to act even as a wise governor over them contrary to their wishes, is not about to be re-established ! an d if not, why advocate the principle in the case of poor Italy, poor long-benighted and op pressed Italy ? Sir, unlike yourself, you speak of the " ungrateful and despicable people." Why should a people be grateful for having what they do not want ? Why should they be branded as despicable at a time when they are asserting their rights, and lifting up mightily their power ? Despicable, indeed when they are showing, in the face of the world, a rightful omnipotence, and which, it appears, requires all the combined powers of an un-Christian " Christendom" as an equal and unholy antagonist. Six weeks have scarcely passed away since you de lighted the circle of your readers here with the just and opprobrious epithets you applied to that bloodhound like monster, the crowned vagabond of Naples, and now you laud a conspiracy of all the great powers with this un holy demon of blood, for the purpose of trampling down the young and rising liberties of Italy. Christendom! Christendom! is this the composition of the " Great Powers of Christendom?" Forbid it humanity, forbid it reason, and Scripture. The reply is, " I know them not." Allow me to call your attention one minute to the question, What have the Italians done? The simple answer is, they have decreed that the Popedom is divested of its temporal authority, but remains in full exercise of its spiritual power. Have they not the na tural, the moral, the political right to do this ? If not, why not ? Now, Sir, let one thing, I pray you, be borne in mind, a thing which I ha►e not seen regarded by any writers on this subject, but which is of paramount importance—viz., the declaration of the Pope himself, openly and plainly - made not long since, that his duty as a Prince and his duty as a pastor were so contradis anguished and opposed, that he could not perform one, without a violation of the other. I would c3rry out this true position to its just consequences, but must forbear. Yours obediently, Cheltenham, Feb. 20, 1849. DALETH. [Our esteemed correspondent is perfectly correct in deprecating the notion of anything like foreign intervention in the affairs of Italy, or of any other country. In his indignation at the bare idea of such a project, we sympathise cordially. If he .imagines that in our leading article of the 20th instant we advocated the principles of fo reign intervention, we repudiate altogether any such meaning—the fault was in the manner in which we expressed ourselves. The intervention we spoke of was not by foreigners but by Italians—not by force of arms but by diplomatic negotiations. As to the people, our correspondent must surely be satis fied, from his long acquaintance with The Sun, that our sentiments as to the popular rights are unalterable : we regard the political rights of the people as paramount. As we have said before, how ever, our feelings upon foreign intervention and the popular rights are identical with those of our worthy correspondent—" the fault was in the manner in which we expressed ourselves."—En. Sun.] TIIF INDIAN Austr.—We understand that the Court of Directors have announced to the Bengal Go vernment their appointment as an infuntry cadet, of Hugo James, a volunteer with the Irregular Force at Menitan, under Major Edwardes. "In forwarding," writes the Major to Mr. James, " a gratifying extract from the Resident of Lahore's comments on the action at Soorujkoond,when you led part of the force in the repulse of the enemy. and the subsequent attack on the entrench. ments, I take the opportunity of expressing to you the personal obligations I feel for the enthusiasm so becom ing in youth, which promp t ed you to take a long journey to share the dangers of an irregular force embarked in a hazardous enterprise, and the gallant example which you have shown to that force over since you joined." T o Lieut.-Colonel S y k es 's appreciation of Mr. Ja mes ' s merits this nomination is due, and it is one among man y instances of a disinterested exercise of patronage on the part of the honourable body to whom ho belongs.

Sir Robert, it will be recollected, was one of the oldest diplomatists of the last century., and held the post of Ambassador at the Court of Copenhagen, when Caroline Matilda, Queen of Denmark, the unfortunate sister of George 111., was involved in the conspiracy of Stmensee, and was only saved from the severest punishment her vindictive enemy, the Queen-Mother, could indict, by the spirited interposition of the British Ambassador. Sir Robert Keith also for a long period represented his sovereign at the Courts of Dresden and Vienna; and there can be little doubt that his papers, edited by a member of his family, will throw considerable light on the diplomatic history of the reign of George 111., besides conveying many curious particulars of the great men and events of the period. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —A perfect Cure of Dropsy by Holloway's Pills.-11Irs. Lambert, of Swan-street, Newcastle, had enjoyed the best of health until the meridian of life, at that critical period she was att ac k e d with drop s y, attended by a very troublesome cough. The medical aid of several eminent practitioners was procured, but their efforts failed to remove or even abate the rigour of the disease. The water in her body and legs increased so rapidly that fears were entertained that she could not long survive. At this crisis she commenced taking Holloway's Pills, which acted so powerfully on her com plaint that its progress was immediately arrested, and in the course of two months the cure was complete.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strang, London. ,~,~ ~ h%~ [PRICE SD, • COURT CIRCULAR.

Last night Sonnambula (the English version) was pre sented, and it is but justice to state that Mr. Harrison has fully equalled, if not excelled, any tenor voice (save Mario) that has undertaken the role of Elvino in this opera on any previous presentation of it within our memory. lie far exceeds Boger, who contrived, with his exquisite taste and high musical education, to make a very weak tenor voice tell, even with Jenny Lind in the duettos. The touching sweetness of Roger's voice redeemed to the full (that is, when the house hushed up to hear him) his faiblesse and want of the racy power. Mr. Harrison, with fully as much sweetness and mellow softness, particularly in the higher notes, possesses a power and resonance of natural voice which enable him to give glorious effect to stage operatic music. His El vino, last night, was brilliant in the extreme. He was rapturously encored in the sweet aria, " Yerche non posso odiarti," which our English libretto-maker has translated into " Still so gently o'er me stealing" ! ! ! Miss Rainforth's weak, but exquisitely feminine and racy soprano, was heard to good advantage in the plaintive and thrilling song of Amine, in the second act. In the finale, " Ah non jiunge," or, as the English version has it, " Do not mingle," she was exquisitely correct in her intonation, and modest, yet triumphant, in the few cadenzas and graces of denture which she introduced towards the conclusion, and that she succeeded in pleas ing, nay, delighting her audience, was manifest in the heartiness of the appla use w hi c h followed. Borrani's " Vi liavviso," anglicised into "As I view those scenes so charming," was well and tastefully de livered. In the concerted passages, the three vocalists succeeded in giving the music with decidedly successful effect. Now that the season draws to a close, there appears some idea on the part of the musical public of enjoying the best treat which they are likely to enjoy for sonic time in the presentation of Auber's fine opera of The Crown Diamonds. Box seats are already in re quisition, and a crowded audience may bo expected this evening, when this opera, never before presented here, will be brought out. Nothing has been left undone by the amiable and talented stage manager to put this new piece on the stage creditably. The rehearsals have been conducted with spirit and attraction, and we have no doubt of the brilliant success of this small but effec tive operatic corps in giving the music of Auber with:due effect.—Freeman's Journal, Feb. 17. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather quiet; the sales were estimated at about 5,000 bales, and comprised 4.000 American at 3j-d. to 5e(1.; 200 Pernam and Maranham, at sid. to qd.; 250 Bahia at si; and 600 Egyptian at 6d. to 70. Railway Shares were dull, and but a li m it e d business dole. The East India mail accounts are satisfactory both upon commercial and political top . cs. For the first time during many years wo are informed of a scarce supply of British manufactures both at Bombay and Calcutta, and there was 'consequently a brisker demand at more mantle rating rates. This is something like sound trading, and after the woful results of past experience one might hope that the policy of attending to the consumptive wants of foreign markets would be strictly attended to. We confess, however, that wo have no strong hope of the endurance of a cautious feeling for any great length of time. When money again becomes very abundant, and the manufacture of goods is actively prose cuted, the necessity of obtaining a new outlet will be felt, and sp( eulative consignments with forced sales will be the probable issue. One little draw back to such a state of things will be the wise attempt' making to limit the date of bills drawn in India. Folic months, eight, or six months' date, will be a great in:- provement upon the old system of ten months' paw, and, as is half promised, if the merchants take the W. dative, the East India Company will follow. The other ship arrivals bring nothing of particular in. terest to-day. A secret expedition is said, in the last American accounts, to have started for some new gold regions in the vicinity of the Rocky Mountains, said to be of extra. ordinary richness, but being in the heart of a warlike Indian country, a considerable force would be necessary for the enterprise. The condition of the Money Market is so easy that few persons imagine that the Bank of England caul:Duck longer maintain its minimum rate of discount at 2 per cent. At the same time, it must be ad. mitted the Bank directors are acting without the slightest appearance of selfish views. In the inte rest of the Corporation, it might indeed ba assumed that the opportunity for a reduction would be embraced readily as a means of augmenting profits, but whatever may be argued to the contrary, the Bank of England is not exonerated from a certain duty to the public, and from a particular, though more limited, control than previously over the currency. Presuming that ,the money market continues easy, and that 4 tithe of Californian prospects are realised, doves the minimum must come, but the large melee of Consols in progress, and th e s hi pment o f s il ver for investment in French stock and shares, and con tinental loans, suggests at once the reason of the caution hitherto observed in snaking money too cheap. The Funds are exceedingly quiet, but firmer than yes y. Consols h ave been 93i f for Transfer, and 93f, , and since 93,1 i for Account.

This is a very beautiful and graceful composition the words of this ballad being very effectively writ ten, by Mr. J. J. House, and wedded to most eloquent music by Mrs. A. Milburn. There is a pure and simple melody pervading this composition which will ensure its becoming very popular. The accom paniment also is easy and unaffected, and we have no doubt it will very shortly be found in the portfolio of many a fair one. The title-page is very beautfully printed in lilac and gold. IRELAND. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Taw. op MR. DUFFY.—The case was resumed at the sitting of the Court to-day, when the Solicitor-General was heard on behalf of the Crown, in a most argumen tative and apparently effective speech, which occupied upwards of three hours in its delivery, and, at its conclusion (two o'clock), Mr. Justice Ball began his charge to the jury, stating that, from the im portance of the case, it would be necessary for him to occupy a considerable portion of their time, therefore it is not tit all probable that they will even retire to consider their verdict before five o'clock. They sill then very likely be locked up for the night. Al though it is altogether impossible to form any idea as to the result from the various opinions expressed as to the constitution of the jury generally, and the statements made by some of the jurors in the course of the trial, the prisoner's friends are in high spirits, and say that they are certain there will be no verdict, and that an ac quittal is not unlikely, while others who heard the very able address of Mr. Hatchell consider that no honest man could for a moment hesitate in finding a verdict of conviction. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I am not accustomed to correspond with news paper editors, and have a great dislike to appear in print; but I cannot refrain from tendering you my thanks for your recent leaders, in reporting upon the railway meetings, as well as for your constant efforts to assist iu restoring our property to its legitimate value. I find that you, as well as all the papers I have seen, omit, in de tailing the proceedings of the Midland Company, on Thursday last, to notice the concluding remarks of Mr. Hudson. As r consider them of as much moment as any, I beg to call your attention to them. No doubt th© confusion attendant upon the breaking up of the meeting just at that time, accounts for the reporters not catching Mr. H's. statements. Mr. H. said, " that he begged to inform the meeting that the company were now enabled to borrow on loans at four per cent. ; that as a consequence they should make no further calls on their 504 preference stock—and as, be did not doubt, they should raise all the money they needed at four per cent., or even lower, that circumstance alone would shortly increase the dividends at least one per cent." Believing that if this had been reported, you would have noticed it as au evidence that '• Good times are com ing," I have boon induced to supply the omission, And am, Sir, yours, respectfully, A CONSTANT READER. Huddersfield, Feb. 19, 1849. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Several valuable suggestions were made by various speakers, and th e greatest harmony and good feeling pervaded the meeting. FIRE IN THE ROYAL INFIRMARY, ABERDEEN._ On Sunday morning a fire was discovered in the upper floor of the front right wing of the infirmary. This di vision of the building is used as a fever ward, and con tained, at the time of the alarm, a number of patients in all stages of fever.
