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 view's of Assurers, by affording to them the option of the following several advantages :—Firstly, of participating in the profits of the Corporation by abatements from annual premiums ; or, secondly, 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 in every fifth year, whilst from those who desire to limit their issu ances to a given sum 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 had on applica- Jen 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 24 1 A to 28 per cent., or from 3 to 4.; per cent. per annum on the sum assured, varying according to the age of the life.

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH. The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from the possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sickness occurring in families, more or less, every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every householder in the kingdom. From among numerous testimonials, the following is respectfully submitted : " To Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London. . . " No. 5, David-street, Regent-road, Manchester, March 12,1842.

And I shall take credit to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making Frampton's Pills more generally known and appreciated.—l am, Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH." The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest recommendations of the many thousands who have &lived benefit from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary.

" To Mr. ICAINES, 20, New-road, St. George's East, London. " Sir,—l wish to inform you of the wonderful cure of Cholera, by taking Morison's Pills, whilst laying at Ilamburgh when the Cholera was raging there ; so I hope you will making this public for the good of others. I have also been cured by the pills of palpitation of the heart, and a chest complaint, after being given up as incurable by the doctors. I purchased the pills at your shop. " I am, sir, yours, &c., " JAMES SCOTT." A R R I A G E. 14 One halt the world are desolately single, and the other iupposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, er a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic -happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set dement. Honour and justice demand tkat health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignities the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if .hese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub, in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age.

Barkly, the late Member, appointed Governor of British Guiana, took place here yesterday. The pro ceedings were conducted in a most quiet and orderly manner, and without any of the customary popular demon strations. There was no bell-ringing, for the vicar of the pftebAotts p oohdhui op a l otiererlte r anopho i eneiw s coeulen h eeasgendctv , endhe:iedoo w tnrnamui trbd h awnrotyeiap O dt:ant-ctresehm k liotpotohc e teecethui e eerenkso p eeshnteedr s ittat:eaihrphnnife t eusdgdee h stovi A e hetd2hefithdean c ooauat t u :hfste.aat s ttoeseni t harb O npeoe d y of the bells in the abbey church, refused to permit them to be rung on the occa ttagaeot and ar s wnhna d sn ; ndoeondpam n o n, Tet f o Tsiiiwn:on t n M onudnha a wy,ie u .atennip p nnl s hoc. i u echna u lsn b eucsca. dldthlhoiolecit.o,uenTnh-oeanghaetlauhcy,noueieusulayfalwpsomeoneecalrfewPanit ancient ghe u hrrni a sdeeen : t s: number of women and children, but, judging from the manifestation of popular feeling, or rather the abscence of it, there was very little interest excited in the event. On the opening of the doors of the Court-house the building was filled in a most peaceable and orderly man ner in a few minutes, the electors and others taking their. places as orderly as though they were assembled in a church. In consequence of the retirement of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton and Mr. Phillitnore, as already announced, the only candidate was Mr. R Peel, son of Sir R. Peel, who was attended by his brother, Captain W. Peel, all the magistrates of the borough, and other gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood. The court having been opened by the Mayor, Mr. H. RUDGE, who is the returning officer here, the writ was read, and the usual formalities were gone through, after which The Rev. J. P. TAYLOR proposed, an d M r . S TANWAY seconded the nomination of Mr. F. Peel. The MAYOR then put the usual question, and no other candidate being put in nomination, declared Mr. Peel duly elected Member for the borough of Leominster, amidst some cheering. Mr. F. PEEL then addressed the electors in a speech which occupied nearly an hour in its delivery, and in the course of which he touched upon almost every political topic of the day. After thanking the electors for the confidence which they had reposed in him by electing him their representative, he said he should take that opportunity of entering fully into an explanation of his political principles. In seeking the suffrages of the elec tors of Leominster he had no personal or individual re commendations to depend upon as passports to their fa vour. He sought their suffrages upon public grounds, in the conviction that a Parliamentary trust like that just confided to him ought to be exercised not as a thing subservient to private interests, but to the general interests of the kingdom at large.—(Hear, hear.) The connexion that day established between himself and the electors of Leominster was grounded on their common profession of attachment to the Con stitution, and their common zeal for its preservation. However unwilling he might be to revert to what had passed during the election proceedings, he thought it incumbent upon him to say a few words on a topic of a local nature in connexion with it. It had been stated on more than one occasion by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, of whom he wished to speak in terms of the utmost honour and respect—but a charge had been made, and it had been reiterated by the press--that the electors of that borough had been backward in promising their support to the candidates. Now, for his part, he o m n us th t e sa c y on t greater number of promises than be was entitled to t h r a a t ry h , e h h e a n d a n d ad ren n e o ive s d uc d h ur c i o n m g pl h a i i s nt n t a o n m va a s k s e a ; expect; at least, he had received such a number as would have been amply sufficient to have secured his return as their representative had a contest actually taken place at the poll.—(Hear, hear.) But he had also observed with much pain that insinuations had been thrown out by the newspaper press, that this alleged backwardness of the electors arose from other motives than a justifiable hesitation and a desire maturely to weigh the merits of the candidates before deciding as to which of them professed principles and opinions most in unison with their own. Without doubt it was meant to insinuate that some of such pro mises were withheld in the hope of obtaining a corrupt return for them; and, in drawing this inference, he had in his recollection a speech recently delivered at Brad ford, Yorkshire, by one whose abilities he was ready to acknowledge, while at the same time he complained of the injustice which that gentleman had done both to him (Mr. Peel) and to the electors of Leominster.—(Hear.) They would at once perceive that he alluded to the re marks made by Mr. Roebuck at Bradford the other day. Ho thought there could be no doubt "that in the com ments which he had made at that meeting in reference to the proceedings of the Leominster election then pending, he meant to imply that both the con stituency of Leominster and himself as a candidate for their suffrages, would not object to a corrupt arrangement being made. He had himself the fullest confidence in believing and affirming that these insinuations were as unjust as applied to the electors (and he spoke of them without any distinction of party in the borough) as they were unjust as applied to himself. He believed the elec tors of Leominster were as incapable of bartering the free exercise of their franchise, as he felt that he (Mr. Peel) was incapable of soliciting it upon any such terms. —(Applause.) He could sincerely say that he solicited no man's vote except on public and honourable grounds, and he would go further and declare that he never de sired that any man should give him his vote who could not give it with a clear conscience, and without having to upbraid himself with having committed a breach of his constitutional privilege. He would prefer defeat to any thing savouring at all of corruption.—(Hear.) He would now pass on to the consideration of questions of a more general nature—to:a review of those political views which he held in common with a majority of that con stituency, and on which he had rested his appeal to their support. He desired to maintain in all their integrity the institutions of the country in Church and State.—(Cheers.) He professed the warmest loyalty to the frame of our civil government—the Queen, the Lords, and the Commons—and he desired to pre serve to each of these three branches of the Constitution the exercise of their respective functions, and a due pro portion of the legislative authority of the State. He did this in the firm conviction that the form of government under which we lived was better suited to our feelings and better calculated to promote our happiness and liberty than any other form lof government that ever existed or could be devised. The events of the last ten or eleven months must have taught them that it was no easy task to frame a scheme of government which should combine security of public credit and tranquillity with a due respect for the property of individuals, and which should contain in itself the elements of stability. In the construction of a government regard must be had to the peculiar character and prejudices of the people to be governed, and in our case we were a people proud in historical recollections, and looking backwards as well as forwards for guidance. We should then touch none of the great principles on which the chief institution rests. There might be other institutions not essential or subordinate which might admit of amendment or im provement, and with reference to these he would cor dially adopt the sentiments expressed by one of our il lustrious statesmen, whose name he did not at that mo ment recal to memory—viz., that our institutions might, be preserved for the purpose of improving them, and might be improved for the purpose of preserving them. —(Cheers.) He felt a deep attachment to the Established Church, from a sincere conviction of the truth and purity of her doctrines, and a full appreciation of the inestimable benefits which she had rendered to the cause of morality and pure religion. In respect to the Church, however, as in respect to the State, he should be favour ably disposed towards such reforms as should be really and truly calculated to strengthen her foundations, and to enlarge her opportunities of usefulness. He would also reconcile attachment to the Church with a re spect for the feelings of those who conscientiously dis sented from her doctrines, her ritual, or from her polity. In illustration of his meaning, be would refer to a sub ject which had been lately under consideration. Had he been in Parliament, be should have given his assent to measures for appropriating the revenue of sinecures of the Church to the extension of parochial ministration and the augmentation of scanty stipends.—(Hear, hear.) He would also have given his support to measures pro viding secular education to the children of poor parents who were dissenters from the Church of England. So much for the great institutions of the country, civil and ecclesiastical. He would consent to no measure which would be likely to impair their stability, or oppose that feeling of attachment towards them which he held, tounded on the convictions of reason. There were, doubtless, many questions of a practical nature likely to come under the review of the present Parliament upon which they would probably expect some expression of opinion. He said " expression of opinion," because he hoped they did not expect of him any positive pledges by which his conduct was to be fettered. As a candi date before them, he laboured under one defect which it was impossible to correct. There were some defects t her s but de which became stronger by the lapse of time, b ut the de fect to which h e a lluded diminished every d ay. He was a young m an , and could not refer them t o hi s past h s services vi ce s wantedor te experience jnatiry the i P m arliamentary I ity not un aahmreenitaer by selectionn yt giving on ea pledge which they i had made o f a re p resenta tive, and he had as k ed himself that, "ii without u canw du having he would giv e a vo t e u p o n a question on w hi c h men of experience and k nown i n t e lligence differed. S urely not this?" heard Su th re e l arguments by sacrificing his honest judgment and the liberty of act ing on his own conscientious dictates. He should ever pay deference to the opinions of his constituents, but he must reserve to himself the power of forming his own con clusions upon political questions, readily promising to hear both sides, and to give his vote, not as private in terest might dictate, but upon sincere conviction.— (Cheers.) Was not this more rational conduct than giving positive pledges?—(A voice—" Certainly.") He would take, by way of illustration, a question on which public opinion had latterly been much excited—that of endowment, as it was called, of the Roman Catholic clergy. Were he to give a pledge that at no time, under no circumstances, and out of no fund whatever would he give his sanction to such a measure, he should have con ciliated many votes. He thought the pledge might have been safely given, for it was very improbable that any such proposal would be brought before Par- • liarnent. Tlwre were difficulties in the way of the question, 111 :b regarded the fund from which such an a pproY;;riation could take place, and also as re garded 'the repugnance of the Roman Catholics to accept of any provision for their clergy. By giving this pledge, therefore, he would have gained many vot es and had no practical difficulty about it. Had he F.een asked to give a pledge in favour of Roman Catholic endowment he should also have declined giving it. He would not undertake to support any measure which his reason might tell him he ought to oppose. On the other hand, when they looked to the state of Ireland, the dis order which had long prevailed in that country, and the great amount of military force required there to check it, it would be unwise to pronounce against any measure tending to benefit Ireland, and one which had for its object to render the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland —a most powerful body for good or evil—less absolutely dependent for their existence on the taxation of the poorest and most destitute of that country.—(Hear.) But he had heard it stated that this was a question of principle, and that it was sinful f or th e St ate to en d ow a sect which professed theological tenets different from our own. He could not agree in the assumption that it• involved of necessity a recognition of the truth of those. doctrines. He refrained, however, from entering fur , ther on this question, which was one disposed of many years ago. The Roman Cathlic religion had been re cognised and prgtected through the length and breadth of the British dominions—in Canada, in many of our colonial possessions, and in Ireland. Why, this very question had been seriously entertained by men who united to great sagacity a devoted attachment to the Established Church. Mr. Pitt was in favour of grant ing a decent and adequate stipend to the Roman Cath lies ; George lIL did not object to this question being taken into consideration by his Government - Lord Sid mouth was in favour of it ; L or d Castlereagh made no objection to it. Did not these facts then justify him in pausing before he gave a pledge to vote against it, ere he had heard arguments for and against such a proposition ? So much in reference to this question, which had absorbed a good deal of public attention of late. There were many other questions on which he should be called upon to pronounce, by his vote at least, an opinion, and he would now shortly refer to the more prominent of these. They had already learned from his printed address, that he had intimated his intention to support economy and re trenchment in every branch of the public expenditure, consistent with public safety. But be would not attempt to deceive them by promising this to the extent to which some persons had gone. He would not consent to the cutting - off of ten millions from the expenditure of 1849 because the expenditure of 1835 required no more. He thought it would be better to inquire what were the bona fide requirements of 1849 rather than what was the expenditure some 14 years ago. He would vote for no expenditure not required by an enlightened regard to the public interest. But, 'on the other hand, he would not engage to support improvident retrench ments in our naval of military force, which might re quire increased exertions hereafter in order to make good that which was so inconsiderately abandoned, and which had proved a bad economy in the end. The Hon. Member next alluded to the following passage in his first-published address to the electors:—" The necessity of a wise economy is the more urgent, in my opinion, because I shall feel it incumbent upon me to resist any attempt, if such be made, to reimpose taxation upon those articles of foreign import which constitute the materials on which our manufacturing industry is employed, or which enter into the subsistence or ad minister to the comfort of the great mass of the com munity; unless it should be deemed prudent, on more extensive experience of the effect of free-trade measures, to adopt a different line of policy, a result, however, which Ido not anticipate." While he had already ex pressed a reluctance to enter into positive pledges pre vious to the discussion of a question, he had thought it not inconsistent to reserve to himself the power of weighing any arguments which might happen to be brought forward. But he had added upon this sub ject that which he strongly felt, viz., that any such re-imposition of duty would be unadvisable. He could not think that it was consistent to reimpose duties on the necessaries of life and the materials of manufacture. The extraordinary circumstances which had agitated Europe had no doubt dis turbed our manufactures. These disturbances had had their natural effect of disturbing credit and of disposing people to hoard their money, which no doubt had af fected commerce both abroad and at home; but he was at a loss to conceive how the removal of duties on flax, cotton, and other materials had had any other effect than that of compensating the crippled resources of the fo reigner, by enabling us to supply his markets cheaper than before. Referring again to the convulsions which had agitated Europe during the past year, he would contrast with this state of universal ferment—he had almost said anarchy—the internal condition of this country,. which had maintained an almost unbroken quiet; where a disposition to disturbance had been ma nifested it was at once checked, not so much by a dis play of power as by the love of peace and order which characterized the British community. There had been much suffering during the past year from want of employment, but no disturbance had taken place here, and scarcely a murmur had been ut tered, and they might attribute that, in part at least, under Divine Providence, to those measures which had opened the ports of this country to an unrestricted supply of everything which might be considered as the necessaries of the people.—(Hear, hear.) There were only two other questions on which it was necessary that he should say a tew words—he alluded to the questions of ♦ote by ballot, and the extension of the suffrage. He professed himself a decided friend to the object contem plated by those who advocated vote by ballot—(Cheers) —namely, the independent exercise by the voter of the right of suffrage ; but he was not at all satisfied that the ballot would insure the independent exercise of that right, and in attempting to exercise that right by the ballot he saw so many impediments in the way as to deter him from adopting it.—(fiear, hear, and cheers from another part of the court.) If the ballot was designed to impose silence:upon electors, if it was intended that there should be no canvassing of the merits of the can didates, then the nature and character of the English fran chise would become much changed; and he was of opi nion that it would be changed for the worse.—(Cheers, and cries of " Hear, hear.") It would open the door to deception and fraud. The residuum would have been deposited in the ballot-box. But he would not consent to purchase an occasional good by the adoption of a system which appeared to hold out a premium to fraud, and by imposing silence where there ought to be the freest expression of opinion.--(Hear, hear.) In refer ence to the extension of the suffrage, it would be most absurd to expect from him, or any man, an expression of opinion on the abstract question. He must first in , quire for what purpose the suffrage was to be extended, and what new class of constituency was proposed to be invested with the right, before he could form any opi nion. He was far from saying that the elective consti tuency established in 1832 would not admit of amendment. It was true he saw an evil in frequent changes ; but he would not deny that the progress of knowledge and extension of education might justify a mature deliberation as to whether some further extension of the suffrage might not be desirable.—(Hear.) What he considered was the main purpose for which the franchise was given was, that the country might be well governed, and that the people might have security for good government; and it was his deliberate opinion that our Constitution did secure to us that good government, and provide gua • rantees for its continuance in a higher degree than any other form of government under which we could live. Popular representation was not the only principle in it. He would consent to no change in the constitution of the House of Lords or Commons which would endanger our constitutional rights and prerogatives, or impede the free use of them. In our representative system great influence was given, as it ought to be given, to interest in the soil, to wealth, and to intelligence. These were the conservative elements of society. If they wished to preserve a limited monarchy and a mixed form of go vernment, they must incorporate these elements in it. More than this —if they wished to protect pro perty and liberty, they had a better security for the attainment of these objects by giving to superior intelligence itslegitimate influence in the popular branch of our Legislature than they would have if they admitted into the constituency a million of new voters.— (Hear, hear and cheers.) In conclusion, the Hon. Mem- ber thanked the constituency of all parties for the atten tion and kindness shown to him during his canvass. He was now the representative of the whole constituency, and as such it would not be less his duty than his inclina tion to receive with respect and attention any recom mendation which might be forwarded to him relevant to the public interests of the country or the local int eres t s of the borough, from whatever quarter emanating ; and, although he could not hope that his conduct would have the concurrent approval of all the electors, he did hope that when he should return into their hands the trust which they had confided to him none would be able to say that he had been negligent in the faithful discharge of his duty as their representative. The usual vote of thanks to the Returning Officer was then passed, and the proceedings terminated in a most quiet and orderly manner. BOLTON. Yesterday was the nomination for this election. The excitement was not so great as on former occasions. From 4,000 to 5,000 people w ere p resen t. Th e candi dates were Sir Joshua Walmsley and Mr. Thomas Ridge way Bridson, bleacher, of Bolton. The usual forms having been gone through, Mr. Robert Heywood,of R cm hill, proposed, and Mr. Thomasson, of High-bank, seconded the nomination of Sir Joshua Walmsley. Mr. Thomas Burton proposed, and Mr. John Stones seconded, the nomination of Mr. Bridson. Sir J. WILMSLEY, in presenting himself as a candi date, said he hoped at thJ various meetings he had at tended, both public and private, that he had been suf ficiently explicit. If all could not hilly agree with his political creed, he trusted that they would give him their confidence as a straightforward, honest man, who was determined fairly to meet and answer every question which any man would propose. He thanked his political opponents for their kindness, and said that some bad expressed regret at not being able to support him because his political creed was too extensive; but it was for them, electors and non-elec tors, to say whether he went too far or not. He had ex ► plained to them that his creed was just this—to do unto others as he would they should do unto him. He wished to extend to his countrymen of all grades that fair por tion of the representation of the country to which they were entitled. He would give them that protection t which they are fully entitled. He would give to every man an opportunity of voting according to the dictates of his conscience. That protection could only be se• cured by the ballot.—(lnterruption from the opposite side.) He hoped to have a fair hearing. In the course of his canvass if he met with an elector who said that he would vote for Mr. Bridson, he would appeal to every elector if he had in any way tried to ipiluence such elector. He had invariably said to him, " Keep your promise." That course he intended to pursue to the end. If he should win he would do so fairly. There were great abuses to be reformed, great reduc tion in the expenditure of the country to bo effected ; our army and navy must be much reduced; but he would ask them if they were likely to succeed in accomplishing these changes by sending men who had neveryet come for ward to reform one single abuse. He should, indeed, be sur prised to find any working man against the extension of the suffrage, against the ballot; and he thought there would not be one found opposed to retrenchment. He should prove to them that our navy, our military esta blishments, and miscellaneous estimates are carried on at an enormous expense to the working classes of this country; and all this not for the good of the great mass, but of the smallest section and the wealthiest in the community. He went on in a long speech to show that the cost of the army and navy in 1535 was 100,0004 less than at the present time, and that our expenditure ought to be cut down to that limit. Mr. BRIDSON said that though he was not so fluent of speech, yet he would promote their local interests quite as well as his opponent. He was their townsman, and though Sir Joshua talked a great deal about retrench ment, he was quite as much in favour of it as he could be. If they sent him, they would find him at his post, not in Canton. The show of hands was much in favour of Sir Joshua Walmsley, when a poll was demanded by the friends of Mr. Bridson, and, after a vote of thanks to the Mayor, the proceedings terminated. HULL. Matthew Talbot Baines, Esq., Chief Poor-law Com missioner, has this day, Wednesday, 7th of February, been re-elected to represent the sea-port town of Hull in the Commons House of Parliament. Although ru mour had been busy for the last few days in conjuring up an opposition, yet such has been the fusion of the great leaders in the borough, that no one was found to stand forward to head the ,opposition, which, however, only wanted a leader to have made Mr. Baines's return at least doubtful. After a champaigne breakfast given by the Sheriff, the gorgeous procession marched to the hustings amid mournful silence, en its arrival there, the yellings and hootings of disapprobation from the mobocracy were tremendous, and the whole of the proceedings were gone through in pantomimic form. Mr. Baines was proposed by Mr. Ward, a Tory, and seconded by the Mayor, hitherto considered a Radical, neither of whom were permitted to be heard, and Mr. Baines being treated to a like reception, the whole of the proceedings terminated within the hour. From Mr. Baines's reception, it is not probable he will in case of a vacancy for Hull, offer himself again as a candidate; indeed, his friends would do well to dissuade him from such an attempt. The following address was delivered by Mr. Baines, at the George Inn, to his committee and a few Chartists who got into the room:— Mr. BAINES rose amid loud cheers. He said—Gen tlemen,—l assure you it is with the truest satisfaction I find myself again among those who have been my consti tuents one, and who, I would fain hope, I may in a short time hail by th at t i t l e again.—(Loud cheers.) I can truly say it has been my most sincere wish that I should be found not undeserving of a continuance of the confi dence with which you honoured me on a former occa sion, and the recollection of which must follow me as long as I live.—(Applause.) I told you then, and I told you most truly, that no efforts which I could make would ever satisfy myself as being equivalent in the way of re turn for all the kiedness which you have shown towards me. And I said so because I had erected in my own mind a very high standard of the duty of your represen tative, and by that standard I can say conscientiously I have ever endeavoured to regulate my conduct. If I have failed, I have done so from the want of ability and not from the want of will.—(Hear, hear.) I have thought it my first duty on going to Parliament, not to look out for the means of advancing my own individual interests, or the interests of those connected with me; my object has been—(A Voice—" Place-hunting")—in the first in stance to do what little I could to advance the interests of my country, and in the next place to promote more especially the welfare of my own constituents.—(Cheers, hisses, and a Voice—" You looked out for yourself a snug place.") If that gentleman who accuses me of being a place-hunter will have the goodness to attend for a moment to what I say, he shall see what sort of a place-hunter I have been.--(Cheers.) I undertake to satisfy every one who hears me that there never was a place accepted under circumstances less discreditable to the individual who accepted it, or to the constituency which originally honoured him with its confidence.— (Loud cheers.) I accept the challenge which the indi vidual who accuses me of place-bunting has thrown out, and I will honestly and fairly show the circumstances under which I have accepted office, and I will then leave it to you—yes, I will fearlessly leave it to you (addressing the man who had thrown out the accusation) to say whether there is anything in those circumstances which is in the slightest degree discreditable either to me or to you, if you are, as I hope and trust you are, and as I hope and trust I ever shall be, an admirer of fair a n d h onoura bl e conduct.—(Long and loud continued cheering.) I was about to state at the time I was interrupted, that I went to Parliament not for purposes of personal aggrandise ment, for during the whole time I have been in Parlia ment I have never asked a favour either for myself, or for any one connected with me by the ties of relation ship.—(Cheers.) And if I were to live to the age of Methuselah I never would do so--(Cheers)—for it has been my constant maxim not to make the office with which you were kind enough to invest me subsidiary to the promotion of my own private interests. Gentlemen, I told you when I had the honour of standing before you a year and a half ago, that I thought well, generally, of the principles and conduct of the government of Lord J. Russell, and I have seen no reasons to change that opinion, although I have felt it my duty to differ from him on several important occasions. Time after time have I, the "place-hunter," voted against the very Ministry to which I am charged with looking for place. —(Loud cheers.) Upon points which they thought of vital importance, I have divided against them, and spoken against them.—(Applause.) I never hesitated to vote against them when I thought they were wrong, and when my public duty to my constituents required that I should do so.—(Cheers.) Let us see what I have done? I fully admit your right of asking. You have a right to ask—" What is it you have done? How have you con ducted yourself during the eighteen months you have sat in Parliament as our representative?" In the first place, then, allow me to say, I have had the happiness of introducing into Parliament three measures which I believe all impartial persons admit have done somewhat in improving the law of the country.—(Hear, hear.) I am glad to say that these three measures met with such unanimous approbation that there was not a single divi sion either in the House of Lords or the House of Com mons with respect to the expediency of these measures. —(Loud cheers.) I have, therefore, not been an idle representative.—(Cheers.) I set myself, in the first instance, to introduce a clause into the Irish Crime and Outrage Bill, which had for its object the putting an end, as far as I could, to the dastardly system of midnight assassination which then unhappily prevailed in many districts of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) I thought it was essential to devise some means of punishing those whom in law we call accessories after the fact—that is persons who knowingly give facilities for the concealment and escape of the cowardly and blood-stained murderer. The clause which I introduced has been held to be a great improvement of the law, and I believe has done much to prevent the crime of assassination in Ireland. —(Cheers.) When I say I introduced this or that measure, do not deem that I say it at all in the way of boasting ; I hope there is not a man here who does not know me sufficiently well to feel assured that I have no such intention.—(Hear, hear.) For if I had done twenty times as much as I have, I admit that you would have a right to call me but an unprofitable servant after all. I boast, then, not at all, but am simply showing what I think you have a right to know, namely, whether your representative has put out to usury the one talent, it may be, with which he has been endowed, or whether he has hidden it in a napkin and suffered' it to lie idle. I hope you will find that this was not the case when you learn what it is that h as b een d one .

It will be in the remembrance of most who now hear me that the Mi nistry at the commencement of the session brought in a proposal for increasing the income-tax —charging pro fessional and trade income in the same way and at the same rate as the income arising out of realised property.

HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colmr or decay, and will be tound - very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastication. 52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five. REMOVED TO 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE. OR.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. marriage regains the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could It be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human. frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account if the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional Pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

OXFORD, FEB. 7.—ln a convocation to be holden on Friday, the 9th instant, at two o'clock, it will be pro posed, that the annual payment of 1251., which was authorised by vote of convocation on the 10th of June, 1848, to be made for five years to the incumbent of Holm Cultram, to be applied towards the stipend of an as sistant curate for that parish, be discontinued after the 10th of June, 1849; and that, in lieu thereof, a grant in perpetuity of 501. per annum be made out of the im propriate tithes of Holm Cultram to each of the three district churches lately built in that parish, to be ap plied towards a permanent endowment for the stipends of the respective incumbents of the same. The Eccle siastical Commissioners in England have signified their readiness to make a permanent grant of 501. to each of the said three new churches, provided the University will secure to each of them a similar amount. The present proposition is made with the entire concurrence of the incumbent of the parish church.

DISTRESS IN THE WEST OF IRELAND.--A Trea sury minute of the 16th of January says:—The Poor law Commissioners report that of the 131 unions into which Ireland is divided, 100 will not need extraneous assistance, ten or eleven more may be rescued from em barrassment. There remains but twenty to be consi dered separately. A list is given of twenty-one unions, all along the west coast from Sligo to Bantry. Their expenditure during the year was 968,0001., of which 237,0001. was sent from England, nevertheless the debt of these unions increased in the year by 48,0001. The minute states the available potato crop of 1848 as less than that of 1847. Each individual relieved during the severe three quarters of the year cost 1/. The 367,5001 furnished by British charity to Ireland saved the lives of at least 200,000 people. The out. door relief, which in the week ending on the 6th of May, 1848, amounted to 184 millions, sunk in the last week of September below 6 millions. In the last week of November it was 7i mil lions. The number of inmates of workhouses was 130,000 in the beginning of June, 108,000 in the middle of Sep tember, and 163,000 at the end of November. From September, 1847, to September, 1848, there was spent on the poor of Ireland 1,856,0001. Of this 1,627,7001. was raised in rates. SWINDON.—A very ludicrous scene was recently witnessed on the platform at the station here, on the ar rival of a train. A sergeant of a regiment of the line with a number of recruits, who were on their way to London to be attested, left the train to procure refresh. ment. One of the recruits, a fine tall young man, wear ing veu long trousers, stumbled as he stepped out of the carriage. The sergeant, having great regard for the limbs of his recruits, turned sharply round to the stumbler, when, to his great horror, he discovered that the recruit had a most singular defect. The amazed sergeant, as soon as he could recover from the effect of his astonishment, shouted to the unfortunate recruit, " By —, sir, you have only one leg!" The man coolly replied, " Well, I know that;" and upon a closer inspec tion it appeared that the man actually had a cork leg, a fact which had escaped the penetration of the soldier. The poor sergeant seemed to be driven to his wits' end, and endeavoured to persuade the recruit to return to the place from whence he came, but he persisted in going to London—" He had been 'listed to go to Lunnun, and to Lunnun he'd go." The bell rang, and all parties re entered the train to fight out the battle. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Pacha, commanded by Captain John Weeks, with the mails from Spain, Por tugal, and Gibraltar, left this afternoon. She had a full cargo of general merchandi se , o f a b out 9 0 tons , w i t h one package of specie, of the value of 3001. Her passengers amount to twelve only.

This being so, I voted accordingly, d opposed Ministers i n every stage.—(Cho erg . ) After „ ~. e this, it pleased one of the members of the •" Government, Sir George Grey, Secretary of State for the Home Department, to offer to me, in a manner highly gratifying, because the offer was altogether unso• licited on my part, the office of Under -Secretary of State for the Home Department.—(Hear, hear.) Did I accept that? I—who am supposed to be the hunter after place? ("No, no," and cheers.) I did not.— (Cheers.) I said I would adhere to my own pro fession, and I said so, because, had I accepted the offer which was made to me, I should have had to leave Par. liament, and should not have been eligible fur re-elec tion. Had I accepted that office, I.siiculd have been compelled to leave the service of the dieters of Hull within seven Months after the time when they had ho noured me with their confidence; and I hit that such a course would not be a fitting return for the trust they had reposed in me, and would have been a very poor reward for the trouble which the friends whom I see around me had taken to secure my election.—(Cheers.) Would such have been the conduct of a place hunter?— (Cheers, laughter, .and cri es o f " N o, no. ") If I h a d been a place-hunter, should I not have said to you, " I have got a place that will suit me very well; so now you may proceed to another election as soon as you like. (Hear, hear.) I declined that place, and yet it is one which had its temptations; for Sir George Grey is an able Minister and an amiable man, and . I should have thought it a great pleasure and a privilege to act along with him.—(Loud cheers.) Under the circumstances I have stated I did not think it right, however, that I should accept that office.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Gentlemen, at the close of the session, I was called away suddenly from town, after having spent, I believe, some six months of as diligent and laborious Parlia mentary attendance as Member ever went through, for I can say this truly, that I was at all times amongst the first in the House, and among the last out of the House. Every day I was thinking what I could do to promote the interests of my country, and:my constituents in par ticular. I attended to the letters I received from you. I appeal to the humblest and the meanest man in station in Hull, and I ask him whether he ever addressed a letter to me that he did not receive an answer by the first post.—(Loud cheers.) I beg to ask whether that has not been the case, or whether I did not do my best to promote the interest of every man, whether he voted for me or against me at the last election? ,I made not the slightest diffeience. I considered my self the Member for Hull, representing every indi vidual in Hull to the best of my ability.—(Cheers.) Then, gentlemen, at the eud of the year, when I least expected it, I received a notification from her Majesty's Government that they were willing to offer for my acceptance the situation of President of the Poor Law Board—a situation which I will venture to say is in point of difficulty, in point of importance, in many respects second to none under the Crown. Now, what we have to do is this—to see, on the one hand, that the fund which is set apart by the wisdom of the Legisla• ture for the relief of the needy and destitute, is not tip : propriated to purposes of imposition, indolence ant fraud. That is what we have to see on the one hand, and we have to see on the other that every real cause of genuine destitution does receive relief'—(Loud ap plause)—and that that relief is not administered in a grudging, or insolent manner, which I think the law of this country, and which those laws that are superior even to the laws of our country—the Divine laws them selves condemn.—(Loud cheers.) That is the double duty which I have to perform in the situation to which I have been appointed. It is said that I have promoted my own private interest in what I have done. Why, I see Learned Friends of mine about this table to whom I may appeal, and ask them whether they think I have made a good bargain in a pecuniary point of view? —(Laughter and applause.) I have given up an income which was about double the salary which I am ever likely to have from this office of mine. I have given up prospects which I think were not bad, for I heard it said by my friends at the bar that by and by I might not im probably obtain a judgeship, or some corresponding si tuation—a permanent situation with a permanent in come, besides honourable and dignified. This I have given up, and I have taken an office which is pre ' carious in its tenure—which is much less in its in come than the income I have given up—with double the difficulty and,doublethe labour—(Loud cheers)—that I have ever been eng aged in. And now I beg to as k th at gentleman who stan s at the doorway, if he be still there, after having made the charge, and having the manliness to hear the reply—l ask him what there is in this trans action now explained, of which either I or my constitu ents need be ashamed?—(Loud cheers.) I have ac cepted this high office. and I mean to do my duty to the best of my ability.—(Applause.) One important point, gentlemen, with respect to the administration of this office, is to bring in and carry through Parliament the measures which are connected with the improvement of the Poor-law. It is not a political office I hold; perhaps my indisposition to engage in political warfare of any kind may fit me particularly for the discharging its du ties. But I have accepted it. That necessarily has caused a vacancy; but I now stand before you, gentle.. men of Hull, not shrinking from meeting you—looking you boldly in the face, but I trust with no improper con fidence, and I ask you one and all, what it is that in time past I have done deserving your condemnation—or whether you are not now ready to say, " we believe you have acted to the best of your ability and conscieece-- you may not have done all that an abler man oould have performed—we believe, however, that you have done your best—we believe you have acted conscientiously-- and we will not withdraw that confidence which we gave you at the last election."—(Loud cheering.) Mr. Baines then resumed his seat, but immediately rose and said— There is one word more which I wish to say to those gentlemen who have done me the honour to act as my committee. I hope I need not assure them that I feel most grateful to them for the countenance they have honoured me with on this occasion. It is to me a peculiar pleasure to be surrounded as I am, on the pre sent occasion, by so large a portion of all who are re spectable in the town, respectable both in station and in telligence. Gentlemen, I hope, as I said before, I shall not be found unworthy of your confidence. If' there is to be a contest here, I trust, gentlemen, that I shall have your support to the end. I hope and trust that nobody, for mere purposes of vexation, will think of en gaging in a contest on that account. But what I say is this; whatever may be tbe result, Ishall undoubtedly per severe in seeking to obtain the honour of your suffrages. —(Loud cheering.) I have not the least doubt but I shall be honoured with them. If, in the course of that contest you should be put to trouble, I can only apologise to you for it. It is not my fault, and again I say how truly grateful I feel for the countenance you have af forded me on this occasion, and for the trouble you have taken on my behalf.—(Cheers.) [PRICE SD. THE AUTHOR OF "WHITEFRIARS."—A new his torical novel from the pen of this very popular author is on the eve of publication. From the previous efforts of the writer in this most attractive species of fiction, much is anticipated from his forthcoming work, entitled " Owen Tudor," in which it is said be has sought to illustrate the chivalrous reign of Henry the Fitth—a subject and period which will afford ample scope for his brilliant and varied powers. .
