The object of this Institution has been to combine the advan tages of all the earlier establishments, to remedy their acknow ledged defects, and to give to the persons Assured that influence in the general management, which their important interests de. mand. In the Life department, greater advantages have been secured to the public than have been offered by any other So.. ciety; four-fifths of the estimated profit will be added every seventh year by way of Bonus to the Policies effected for the whole Term of Life, and the remaining one-fifth will be trans ferred to the subscribed Capital, and preserved untouched, to form a continually-increasing guarantee to the Assured. The Holders of Policies effected for the whole Term of Life, will have votes in common with the Proprietors at all general meetings, and will possess the advantages of a Proprietor in every other respect, excepting qualification for office, which is derived from holding Shares in the Capital Stock of the Society. In the Fire Department equal attention has been paid to the interests of the Assured, and many important advantages are held out for their consideration ; four-fifths of the profit will be alloived to persons who have been Insured with the Society for Seven Years, whether by Septennial or Annual Payments, and the remaining one-fifth will be added to the Subscribed Capital, as in the Department of Life Assurance. The Society has. commenced business at its Office, No. 10, Regent's Street, and No. 76, Cheapside, where the Prospectus and Tables may be had.

" There are many allegatio,ns in the petition which it is like ; bi; -the association are satisfied that everylike ly n a may one be You will appreciate the difficulty of persons placed its they are, furnishing even is controverted capableof b eire reified.. Parlia mentary evidence; but they rely upon common fame—upon the uncontradicted statements in the public prints, and on the records even of the last assizes. " On the subject of the Irish Church Establishment, they do not feel it necessary to dilate. To any man who has paid the least attention to Irish affairs, that church must necessarily occupy a foremost station ; to a mind so informed, so fruitful and vigorous, as that of their advocate, the Catholics of Ireland will not presume even to suggest a topic. " As to the prayer of the petition, they can only express their conviction, that until some very decisive measure be, adopted, it is in vain to expect that this country can ever enjoy six suc cessive months of tranquillity. " It is unnecessary, I hope, for the Catholics of Ireland to reiterate the expression of their gratitude to you ' Sir; and it would perhaps be unbecoming for the individual whose name is subscribed to express in adequate terms the admiration which in common with all his countrymen he feels for your talents, eloquence, and public services.

" Sir, —Owing to a delay in the Post-office, occasioned by its having been charged, I did not receive till yesterday the petition which by the desire of the Catholic Association you have done me the honour of transmitting to me. " I have read it with all the attention it deserves, and hope it is unnecessary for me to add, with all the interest I have ever felt in endeavouring to restore to the Catholics of Ireland the full enjoyment of all the privileges of our free Constitution ; but I feel myself bound in fairness to apprise you, that the other objects with which that prayer is connected in the pre sent petition, appear to me to have been at least unnecessarily introduced-0 be calculated rather to injure than assist your cause ; and that in presenting it to the House of Lords, I should feel it incumbent on me to declare that they could not have my concurrence. As a short delay in presenting the peti tion, on which no meaSure can be founded during the present sessions, cannot be material, I have determined to wait for dour answer to this communication. " This, I hope, you will let me have as soon as convenient, and if it shall inform me that the Catholic body are still de sirous that their petition should remain in my hands, I will lose no time in presenting it, and am prepared in doing so, to repeat, in the strongest terms, subject to the qualifications I have already s t ate d, my unalterable conviction, that the peace and happiness of Ireland, the general security,of the British Empire, eminently depend on the entire and speedy repeal of the disqualifying laws by which the Catholics feel themselves aggrieved " I have the honour to remain, " Four obedient humble servant, "F.

Slit—To those interested or curious in the im portant matter of yesterday's exhiliition at Dum Dum; where the first practical experiment of Major l'arlbv's: rifie.rocket was undertaken by express desire of authority, the result must be most gratifying. The display took place in the presence of General Hardwicke, Commandant of the Bengal Artillery; who is now on the, eve of embarking for Europe;. of Colonel Casement, and many civilians . and officers who could not fail to experience a pleasing and proud satisfaction at the complete success of an experiment,- on which• the ingeni ouson which Major Parlby had and scientific individual has himself juee cause for ex ultation, and his master's good reason to be , ge a ttfl e e. The t s o ho p r r t ep nb ar ti e c , e, s g k y s the e ir e activity t ed u r, e n r d ihis ready so resources a nd 1,760 yards, was in general of the depar tm en t a , nfl w euvf l e t is i l e s i f l ion i r s c manage ment. The range of the rockets, from their respective distance of 600, SOU, 1,030, most beautiful ; and, in the ultimate result, fixes unquestion ably, the superiority of Major Parlby'S rifle-rocket ; a very small portion .of them exploded, from causes attributable, most likely to the great haste, we understand, in which - at so snort a notice they were necessarily prepared. A few were tired from a tube, placed at ano less distance froM the target than one mile, one of which, at this amazing distance, penetrated the target ; two others, ranged in fine parallel lines, even over the. target, one of. these to the distance of two thousand three hun dred, and the other, two thousand and four hUndred yards : to the professional mane it were needless to offer remarks on the consequences dr.eucible from this succeSsful experimental re sult in the department of projectiles. The state, and service at large, can be no less interested on a practical question of this kind, extending as it does its importance to the science in general, and our regret is proportionably awakened at knoWing that the experiment - submitted so long back to our late Noble Commander-in-Chief, as in 1815, and before the Congreve rocket had reached India, should not earlier have been put to the test.—lt is to be hoped that sense individual 'Of office, or of the Ordnance branch, will publish for their brother officers a correct table of yesterday's rocket practice . ; end that hereafter a comparative trial may be exhibited on the same ground with the Cougreve and Major Parlby'seifie-rocket. I am, Sir, your's, &c. A SOLDIER. (MADRAS COURIER, DEC. 23, 1823.) " It is with great regret we notice the increasing distress pre valent amongst the natives from the scarcity of rice : in the Bazars- it is not to be procured, and . only oa Bankshall is now open for its sale, consequently the rush of the people to obtain a portion of this small supply is dreadful, and the North Beach is covered with hundreds, waiting with the feintlope of being at least fortunate enough to reach its door. Many European gentlemen are seen mingled with the crowd e endeavouring to pro cure grain for their servants, which, even after having succeeded, difficulty of carrying it away in safety is considerable, as the the right of the strongest, the only law of necessity, seems universally acknowledged. Some lew merchants are deal ing out their stock of rice - seantily end secretly during the middle of the night, to avoid the scene of confusion and violence atteeitled OR a public sale of it. Grain of the worst and oldest description is bought up wide avidity, and many are reduced to subsist on grow (horse beans !) ; this even Is not to be purchased except in small quan tities, and at an enormous price. Several deaths have occurred amongst the lower orders of the natives, which have been oc casioned by starvation, and so miserable is their condition that many children have in despair been abandoned by their parents, , The inhabitants of Pondicherry, we regret to learn, are also sufferers froin the want of food. We can no longer indulge the I expectation that a fall of rain may yet save the harvest of the coming year, as we understand, from those acquainted with the subject, that the crops are already destroyed; we however sin cerely hope that plentiful supplies from Bengal and the north ward will soon reach this port, to alleviate the distressing effects of a scarcity, which presses so st:vtrcly us' 411 classes of the no— . tive population." LYROM THE COURIER OF THE 30TH DEC.I " We noticed in our paper of Tuesday the great distress which the natives were then labouring under from the scarcity ' of rice ; it has now fallen to our lot to record some serious die , turbances which have since taken place, and which have been occashmed by the consequences of that scarcity. During the night of Monday the 22d instant, an immense body of natives, amounting in number to about forty thousand, assembled to gether for the purpose of plundering. the Bankshalls, which were supposed to contain grain. The mob were extremely riotous, and appearances were of a most alarming nature. The police did every thing in, their power to allay the tumult, but finding the number increase, and that it would I be ont of their power to prevent serious outrages which were apprehended, t • was necessarily'had to recourse sistance o f the military. The mob had succeeded: in break ing into and pl un d er i n g five or six Ban ' kshalls but before their depredation s h a d proceeded farther, the soldiers made their appearance, an d prevented their carrying away great part of the rice which' they had forcibly seiteci. By calling in the military it was believed their appearance might have intimidat ed the mob, and have caused them to disperse, but multitudes were too formidable to Ire eo frightened ; they assailed the sol diers with showers of stones and other missiles, by which many of them were considerably injured. Notwithstanding this at tack, and the abuses heaped upon them, the Sepoys behaved in the most cool, temperate, and forbearing manner, On Tues day morning, it being found the rioters would not disperse; or ders were given to the military to endeavour to frighten them, by firing blank cartridge amongst them, which.wae done but this had net the desired effect; The mob appeared indifferent to every attempt used for their dispersion, and at length the soldiers were ordered to load and fire, but to fire over the heads of the people. This order was scrupulously obeyed, but by some accident a poor native was standing on the ramparts near Lord Clive's battery, at a considerable eminence, and who was not perceived, was wounded, and, we regret to add, the wound proved mortal, and the poor man died in the course of Tuesday. We have heard that other accidents occurred ; but considering the confusion of the scene, it is surprising that many more did not take place. Soon after the unfortunate occurrence the mob gradually dispersed. EAST INDIA SHIPPING. 1.
