The next division of life profits will take place in December, 1846, being an interval of five fears, and persons entering be fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete years. To facilitate loan transactions a reduced scale of rates with out profit has been adopted.

Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material so that acids do not affect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses.

LONDON - : FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 29, 1842. Mr. ROEBUCK'S Committee has ended in smoke for the present. His Committee has authenticated the ex istence of the corruption and bribery, and thrown an obligation on the House of Commons to take measures to put them down. Last night, however, the House re fused to assent to ➢ir. BoEaucK's resolutions, by which it has taken , on itself the responsibility of shielding the offences tbe Committee has exposed. The Commit tee inquired into an alleged criminality—the criminality is proved, and the House refuses to punish the criminal, or prevent future criminality. We did not anticipate that Mr. Rotorcx would succeed, and we were more surprised at the House granting the inquiry than at its refusing to adopt his conclusions. A worse course it could scarcely follow. The House is now branded by its Committee as the offspring of bribery, and it is branded by itself as resolved to shelter and protect the hideous monster from which it springs. It is so long since the plan of a compulsory exami nation for captains of merchant ships was first brought under public notice, that we supposed it was given up, and we therefore preserved a discreet silence concerning it. Last night, however, Captain FITZROY obtained leave to bring in a Bill to establish that species of exami nation. He is aware that it would be hopeless to attempt to pass it this session, and therefore he only proposes to introduce it, have it printed at the public expense, and circulate it through the country, in order that the objec tions to it may be fully considered. lie proposes that Boards be appointed in England, Scotland, and Ireland, consisting of three examiners each, and a secretary. The system they are to act on is to be approved by the Trinity Board, and the whole placed under the Board of Trade. The expense to be defrayed by fees. All persons who wish hereafter to be masters, or mates of ships, must submit to be examined by them, and to pay for a certificate to command a ship in every part of the world, 31.; to command a vessel or vessels on short voyages, 21.; mates 30s. and 20s. The scheme in volves, therefore, r.o inconsiderable amount of patronage, and no inconsiderable extension of taxation. As a gene ral rule, the country is already suffering from too much of both, and ought to be thoroughly and completely satis fied that, to extend them, will be of certain and great advantage before it approve of any such scheme. "It may not," says Mr. JOT'S YEAncE, jun., Who is an opponent of this scheme, " be altogether undeserving of your consideration the inflicting on shipping a direct tax, in addition to the indirect delays, obstructions, &c. Taking the shipping of the Empire at 30,000, which is not far from the mark, and the average fees at 31. 10s. ' for a master, and 11. ss. for a mate; the ow egate direct tax, you see, is 142,5001. ! (less fur vessels under 60 tons) and this not for once only, but constantly recurring, as new masters and mates are required." This expense is to be incurred because, as Captain . FITZROY says, there is now no examination ofaminati of any and kind with respect to the qualifications the captains mates the public v essels. n C a a m p e t . anai h t e T r z e aOY iZin de f c a e c t t v , e a s himself of merchant and practical examination, as much superior to his proposed examination, by Boards, as riding a horse every day to ascertain his qualities is sureriorto seeing kim fora few P`` v ``~ ~~ EAST INDIA HOUSE, JULY 27, 1842.

The proprietors have made arrangements that this Magazine shall in future contain a larger number of Notices of Books than any other. Having unusual advantages for ob taining all the publications issued, they have determined to establish an impartial Register, where the bock-buyer will find not cnly the Title, but an account of the aim and purport of the work, and a fair statement of its execution and value. The machinery necessary to bring such a Bibliographical Review into full operation must occupy some time, but they trust, with the aid of their extensive m eans , ultimately to give an account of every book publi s h ed in the U n i te d Ki ng d om. This can, however, only be gradually accomplished. A portion, entitled " Shakesperiana," will in future be dedicated to information relative to Shakspeare and the Old Dramatists and Poets, and this portion will be contributed to by some of the first literary antiqua rians, it is biped it will prove a very agreeable ad dition. Every means will be taken to give serviceable and entertaining matter, so as to afford, more particularly to the country reader, such an half-crown's worth of monthly reading as shall enable him to keep up with the progress of Literature and Art. Notices of the Drama, Music, and the Fine Arts, will be given, and a variety of other information, which will render it valuable as a register and record, as well as an enter taining miscellany.

IMPORTANT AND SALUTARY IMPROVEMENTS have been introduced into the practice of Life Assurance by this Company, and the following are sena; of its distinguishing and important features, which have been introduced after mature deliberation. They will be mast conveniently pointed out by referring to Policies, as divided into two great Classes —FAMILY PROVISION POLICIES, and MONEY TRANSACTION POLICIES. FAMILY PROVISION POLICIES.-- In the well founded belief that Life Assurance business is profitable, per sons making provisions for their families and contemplating a long duration of time between the date of the Policy and the claim to arise under it, generally prefer Assurances which may carry with them a right to participate in the profits to bo re alised by the Company during the currency of their Policies. By the Deed of Constitution of this Company, the participa ting Assured are entitled to the Whole of the Mutual Profits, as if they had been Assured in a purely Mutual Society ; avid they have, at the same time, the security' not only of the funds of the Company, arising from the accumulated premiums, but also the proprietary funds and subscribed capital of the Com pany. To the Shareholders are alloted ONLY those profits which are realised by the investment of their own paid capital, and from the excess of the premiums derived from the non participating Assurances. This mode of Division and Profits, so advantageous to the Assured of the Participating Class, is adopted only by this Company. MONEY TRANSACTION POL acquain tance with the records of the Courts of Law and Equity, proves that considerable changes were required in the praetice and rules of Life Offices, to render this class of Policies valid and unimpeachable documents of security, which no foreseen circumstances or future accide.ats could invalidate. This Company has endeavoured, and they think successfully, to render their Policies as indefeasibt?, and negotiable secu rities as possible, consistently with a due "egard to the safety of the contracting parties; and to effect this object, the Company has introduced the follotving clause into their Deed of Settle ment : Clause 78.—" That every Policy issued by the Company shall be indefeasible and indisputable, and the fact of the issuing of the same shall be conclusive evidence of its validity, and it shall not be lawful for the Company to delay payment of the money assured thereby, on the ground of any error, mis take, or omission, however important, made by or on the part of the person or persons effecting the same, and that on the contrary, the amount receivable under the same shall be paid at the time stipulated by the Policy, to the person entitled thereto, as if no such error, mistake, or omission had been made or discovered, unless the Policy shall have been obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation. In order to provide against the defeat of a Policy in the hands of a Creditor, by the Debtor, whose Life is Assured, leaving the country, and going beyond the prescribed the Company grant what they term WHOLE WORLD PO LICIES, whereby, on condition of receiving an extra premium, varying in amount according to the circumstances of the case, but fixed and determined at the time issuing the Policy, the Debtor, on whose Life an Assuranca has been effected, is entitled to go to, or reside in any part of the world, without in validating the Assurance ; by which means tie Creditor's claim is rendered certain. INTEREST IN POLICIES.—The ordinary rule is, that if a Creditor be paid bis debt before the policy becomes a claim, he loses the benefit of his Policy, and the premiums paid become forfeited—this Company repudiates all such un fair advantages. To enable a party to effect an Assurance at the LEAST POSSIBLE EXPENSE, and to entitle him to discontinue it at a less sacrifice than by any other plan, a seven years' Half premium system has been introduced; and, upon comparing the following scale with any other which has been devised for reducing present payments, it will be seen how much more economically a loan tran.action can be fortified by this kind o f policy than by any other. The Hal-premium system pos sesses a further advantage over temporary Assurances, or those for a Term of Years, from the Assured having the option of continuing, for Life the Policy which he may have procured for a mere temporary purpose.

ROUGIISEDGE and SUMMERS have hitherto relied on the discernment of the public to discover and appreciate the superior quality of the iErated Water produced by their manufactory, and they have scorned to have re course to any tricks. In the present day some persons c9nsider it requisite to make use of puffs and quackery in order to extend the sale of their own productions by detracting from the merits of rival establishments. R. and S. have such strong grounds of reliance on the supe riority of their own soda-water and lemonade, founded on the recommendation of the most eminent of the faculty, on the results of the most searching chemical analyses, and the extensive and still increasing demand for them by the public, both at home and abroad, that they have hitherto treated the insinuations of quackery alluded to with the contempt they deserve. But if these indirect insinuations are still to be obtruded on the public, R. and S. feel themselves justified in offering those explanations that may enable the public to judge for themselves. If R. and S. have placed the name of Schweppe upon their bottles, it was never to mislead the public as to connexion with that firm, but for the purpose of announcing a legitimate fact, and always subordinate to their own. Without im puting undue credit to the name of Schweppe, they have simply stated that they came from the house of Schweppe and Co.,—an undoubted fact, or doubtless it would have been denied. For five and twenty years, during the very period that the waters sold by Schweppe gave to that name all the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. Summers was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold by that house in London, Derby, and Bristol. It is many years since any person, having the slightest connexion with the name or family of the late Mr. Schweppe, has been connected with any house in the trade: In the year 1834, the proprietor of the busi ness carried on under the name of Schwcppe and Co. sold his interest to persons with whom R. and S. declined to remain : they preferred employing their in dustry and practical knowledge in establishing a business for their own mutual profit. Whether the waters since manufactured by the present firm of Schweppe and Co. retain the quality which acquired for that house all its celebrity, and S. decline to give an opinion ;_ but, in justice to themselves, they do, with the most perfect con fidence and good faith, say that—highly as some ma nufacturers seem to estimate the bottles which bear their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returning wrong ones—there is no bottle bearing any other than their own, however celebrated, to which Roughsedge and Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived from filling them with waters of their own manufactory. ROUGIISEDGE and SUMMERS only desire such patronage as may be deserved from the 2Erated 'Waters produced at their own manlifactory, and sold under the labels of their own name.-37, Bridge-street, Bristol.

INIAssANIELLo.—The new historical Romance under this title, edited by Horace Smith, Esq., author of "Brambletye House," affords another incontestible proof of the great veue and i itcrest of this truly popular mode of treating great historical subjects. Like the excellent romance of " Oliver Cromwell " (also pro duced under the able editorship of Mr. Horace Smith) all the leading details of "Massaniello " are strictly true to the best historical authorities on the subject ; at the same time that the partially dramatic character of the leading scenes and incidents give a life-like effect to the whole, which the dry and formal trammels of history for the most part preclude. Thus, in reading this novel, an indispensable portion of historical know ledge is gained, through the medium of a narrative that has all the excitement and interest of a skilfully-con strueted fiction.

Solomons, 39, Albemarle street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William. street, Bank of England.—" Gentlemen, having been deaf for many years, I was induced from recommendation to try your Invisi ble Voice Conductors, and I have great pleasure in telling you that they enable me to hear persons in company and at a place of wor. ship most distinctly; and in consequence of the great advent*, r which I have derived, I have recommended many persons to you, and their report is similar to mine—most favourable. The Spec. tacles and Hand glass which you have sent me are very excellent, and suit my sight precisely, and surpass any thing of the kind I have ever tried ; the transparency of which is so brilliant, that, although I have passed my 86th year the 22d of May last yet they enable me to read, &c., by candlelight with the greatest ease and comfort to myself.—Gentlemen, I return you my best thanks, and remain your u set obedient servant. HENRY COWPER.— June 22,1839.' 1 LADVEKTICEMENT. IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WLIO EXPECT TO HE' RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised world, that any cnconium on its merits might appear super fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured en the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The just reputa tion of their manufacture, an d th e consequen t de mand for t, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public. The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the Ea-t and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually transmitting orders received from t heir respective agents and correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the high condition in which it is generally found. The Water ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's Lemonade is an elegant preparation of more recent intro duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is art effervescing draught of most agreeable flavour, and made of the best mate rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less de sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of the firm. Schwenpe and Co. are the largest importers of the German Seltzer 'Water, which they receive direct from the springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public in the original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates executed on the shortest notice. • JULY 29, 1842 PRICE 5a THE SUN is Published EVERY MORNING at FIVE O'CLOCK, in Time for the E ARLY TRAINS and TOWN DELIVERY; a SECOND EDITION (Evening Sun) is Published in Time for the AFTERNOON TRAINS and a THIRD EDITION at SEVEN O'CLOCK, for POST, containing PARLIAMENTARY and all other NEWS in LONDON up to that _Hour.

The youth intended for that sovvice acquires at sc me of the commercial acade mies what Aavigation is taught, the theoretical rudiments of his art,, and, at the age of 12 or 14, is put to sea with or without being bound lip_ t irentiee. He immediately begins a practical educa tion; he assists in all the is or.c of the ship, learns to stow the cargo, to go al _ift to trim the sails, to steer, &c., and, at the same time. he learns to keep the ship's reckoning. Whatever practical knowledge the master and the mates have, he may gradually acquire. After I . one or two voyages, depending on the length of time and 0 the influence the youngster has with the shipowner, 'together with the character which his captain sand the mates give him, he is appointed a second a late. After another voyage he is promote.( to be chief n late; and, after a practical education of five or .six yd airs, or more, according to circumstances, lie is en ` tn. sted with :he command of a ship. Instead of there being no examination, he is through out the whole period of his noviciate undergoing a very rigid and close examination. Day by day is he with the n caster and mates—day by day is he exposed to the jea -1 li 'us observations of rivals—day by day are all his so ti ens watched and noted, and his character and fitness 1 lc a. command, including not only his mere nautical abilt tl4 's, but his moral qualities, are known to a number of pet suns well qualified to judge. it ut the oe ncrs of ships, not the shipmates of the young aspic, ant, appoint captains or mates, and they are not goes! • „judges of their qualifications. In all cases not. v ery otlen, however, the owners of ships are also the captains - , Pr they are retired captains. All ship-owner may, at tiw same time, by inquiry, ascertain the quali ties of the 7Wing men to whom they wish or desire to give ships, and we bea.. , :ve that no ship-owner places a vessel under the commas of a man without first ascertaining to some extent that lie is worthy to be entrusted with 1 the important charge. Sometimes, no doubt, the ship-owner may be de eseived. From anxiety to provide fur a son or a relation, he may place in the command of a ship, one who is not fit foe the place ; but this is the exception, and the rule is for the ship-owner to select pele3ons brought up as we have descr;bed, who are well qualified to command his ships. If he commit errors from partiality, the service to which Captain FITZROY belongs shows, by numerous examples, that Eoards and examination are no protec tion against the appointment of very inefficient officer , . The ship-owner may, we think, be relied on to exercise a sound judgment, because his property is at stake, his income, which depends oil freight, is endangered, and merci.auts will not freight a ship badly officered. He is liable, .also, to pay damages caused by the unskilfulness o f hi s esytains ; and, in the majority of cases, therefore, the ship-owner has strong motives for making diligent inquiries int..) the abilities of ti.ose persons he employs ; and for emplet o ving only those who have proved them selves qualified. ln fact, a practical daily examination actually takes place of all candidates to command ships, and it rests with the owners, as it will rest atter the Board of Examiners are established, to employ whom they please. The present mode of examination recommends itself to us by two considerations : it accordswith the practices of men in other business, and em.perience has proved that it answers tolerably well. Merchants, manufacturers, farmers, shopkeepers, attorneys, &c., are all brought up on : & similar principle, and launched in life under simi lar auspices. There are no Boards to examine whother a young man is fit to take charge of a counting-house, to preside over a factory, to look aft tr a farm, to manage a shop, or to . practise as an attorney. The real practical education 'of men in all the great businesses of life (and we will not ex. elude those professions the members of which are ob: iged to undergo an examination) is obtained in the cot , rating-house, or shop, or on the farm, and it is the daily examination of their conduct which inspires their parents, masters, or friends, with confidence in them, an 3 h 'ads to placing them at the head of establishments. Thn great scheme of practical instruction, without any Boa rds, has produced merchants, manufacturers, and fern iers, as skilful as are to be found on .•'.the face of the globe. Will Captain FITZROY' say that the practical education of merchant ',, :::eaptains has 'lot answered eqaally well ? Where . will he find their superiors ? It seems bordering4is e;r oss ()Assn rdity now to say, when our steamers . onlk44e ha ye crossed the Atlantic—when our merchant'iliir ha, - bitualb - visit the Southern Ocean, and almo4srs's eh the 1 Southern Pole—when there is no sea; however remote, that is. not visited and explored by then44ile ollv stormy coasts are habitually navigated:a9ery swab? expense of life and property—when there 44, ships in , l the svo.:cl better navigated then English ships orders . i i ll i g n r e o l :f a a n b ti s i u e r m di a t): in tu e, s c a o y m tl p i a a r t ed our to e:,: u te rs a2 i i s s n ve,r %rFi;o n pod, that we must substitute for it the systeurof Fraimis thought and has been very unsuccessful. There is;stesi admit„ 1 . i one exovtion to the superiority lie claim fual l e .tler ' chans mrptains. They are in some points eariiis' sed by the Americans. The Tom Collins of -Nantucket ha-ve almost driven our ships from the • Southern whale, fishery, but we have never heard that there aro Boards. asf Examiners for the captains of American whalers, or t:iat they are trained and appointed in a manner very elifierent from our own. i . We may hereafter, if necessary, enter more into det:sil ; we content ourselves now with asserting that c s 'aistain FITZROY'S whole scheme proceads from a 'Rib aivraliension of the facts of the case, and from a confi dent sr in Boards and examinations which is not; warranted b y e verience. _ Mr. PEARCE, a ship-owner, thus speaks lot'llent : _ A . c fe ig L •t offers for one of our vessels, requiring dispatch, and a master " nted ; two offer,—on e certifi e d, b ut a man o f most uest " ionaL4e „ character ; the other uncertified , but of most ex el", ehat ..., t ,.r. What is to be done? The vessel cannot s.el proceeds; the captain gets drunk, l oses his reckoning, thott clear Castam _h c ose with the latter : we are compelled t o t a k e the other. The v. a first-rate navigator, and the ve sse l i s i,ask, work evil or good? Shall it b e sa id p.' lost. Does the Bill, " that the examiners have .been imposed on? Why, this i s th e very condemnation of the ill, that whilst it allo ws good conduct, integrity, and sobriet;." to be indispensable, the ex aminers it appoints can know nob. tog whatever of these essen tials but by certificates, which may ,be true or false; and of the truth or falsehood of which they have, in the vast majority of cases, no means of judging. In truth, Captain FITZROY'S Boards am at best but ascertain the existence of nautical skill, ainl must leave all the moral qualities of the cant& tes—by far the most important—to be learnt the ship owners, as at present. Captain FITZR WS scheme, therefore, is a piece of legislative delusion, such as afflicts us clay by day. The plague of our time—more destructive than the pestilence of the twelfth cantury— is the interference of man with man by means of laws. There is nothing, however wise, skilful, and holy, which can now escape the restrictions of igno rance. If a shipowner may not sail his ship as he likes, why should a farmer be allowed to cultivate his farm without giving proof of his ability to the Quarter Sessions? Every day we hear of negligent and unskilful farmers ; era they also to un dergo an examination, and take out certificates ? Yes terday we noticed a gentleman, in a public paper, de manding that captains and stewards of river steam boats have plates and numbers like cads and drivers of omnibuses. Some petty annoyance is experienced and forthwith the Legislature is appealed to to rept: late steam-vessels like hackney coaches. Where and when is this pestiferous meddling of one Mall with the concerns of another to stop ? How long is fright ened or timid ignorance to give laws to knowledge? We will not pander to this mischievous meddling spirit; and on general principles, as well as for the particular reasons we have urged, we shall resist Captain FITZROY'S Bill, and every such scheme for substituting general legislative rules in the management of the ordinary business of life for living and active individual discretion. COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY iNIAGA2INE, EDITED BY THOMAS HOOD, ESQ.—The editor and publisher of this favourite periodical, seem determined that it shall take the lead of all its rivals. In the Number for August, we have articles by the following well-known writers : The Editor ; John Poole, Esq., the author of " Paul Pry ;" Mrs. Trollope ; Leman 13iitncliard, Esq. ; Peter Priggins ; Captain Medwin ; and t he Medical Student. " The Grimsby Ghost," and " A n Undertaker," b y the Editor, are both in Mr. Hood's unequalled vv in of comi cality ; and the reader will derive nearly as much amuse ment from " The Chemist's First Murder," by Leman Blanchard. "'rho Widow Barnaby " goes a-head fa mously at New Orleans ; and this account of her trans atlantic adventures, will certainly rank among the best sketches Mrs. Trollop° has hitherto given to the world. " Twenty-three Minutes past Two, by John Poole, Esq., is . . a laughable narration of an incident " founded on f tct," the hero being a member of the f amous Pangrow -1 'an Club. "The Five Incumbents." the first of a scriee of five papers by Peter Priggins, details in a touching style, interspersed with this writer's facetious peculiari ties, the story of the Vicar of Cle in the reminiscences of a Medical arstream. " Oxen ford Grange' ; is another of those remarkable p Student, .I L , a g , v e a e s attracted, so much attention.
