SECRETARY—Patrick Iheintyre, Esq. This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in 18:34, and the large accumulation of Premiums which has taken place. On the Ist of July, IF4I, the Company, at their General Meeting declared an addition of one-half to the Sums paid by the Stockholders, and appropriated to those holding Assurances at the participating rate V. per Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies, so that the addition to a policy for 1,0001, in force for the previous 5 years, has been 100/., mak ing it in all 1,1001. The Premiums payable to the Company are nevertheless very moderate, and only one-half of them, when the Insurance is for life, need be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy; the other half, subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent. annually, to be deducted at death, or paid off at convenience. By this arrangement it becomes easy for a person of moderate income to secure a provision for his family ; and the policy may be relinquished on the acquisition of a fortune, within the five years, the Assured having paid only one half the premiums, instead of the whole, according to the usual practice. Thus a person of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 25/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards of the full premium, 571. 12s. 6d., secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to the deduction of 1441. 13s. 3d., being the amount of premiums un paid. A person requiring a temporary advance of money may also, in terms of this arrangement, should ho within five years relinquish the policy of Assurance by means of which he has obtained the advance, give it up on payment merely of one half of the Premiums instead of the whole, according to the usage of most other Offices. The great facilities afforded by the Company, in these and other respects, are such that it really appears a moral duty . in every parent who is not pos s essed of a fortune, but of an in come, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a provision to his family.

THE VACANT OFFICE OF TOWN-CLERK. — The Corporation will, it is said, considerably reduce the salary of the office of Town-Clerk, vacant by the lamented death of Mr. Woodthorpe. 'that able officer had an income of 2,0001. per annum, but many of the members of the Corporation have always considered that sum more than an adequate remunera • tion ; and, it is believed, that Mr. Woodthorpe's successor's emoluments will not .exceed from 1,2001. to 1,5001. a year.

GLOBE.—" Let any man, after calm reflection," says the Post, " declare whether the social and political changes of the last five-and-twenty years have added to the general stock of happiness? and if the answer be, its we think . it must be, in the negative, let that man reflect whether the further extension of principles, which, in their operation, have caused little else than wretched ness, is likely hereafter to be productive of prosperity and peace?" Happiness is a wide word: the question, at pre sent, is about food. It may be granted that, the "social and political changes" of the last Live-and-twenty years have clone nothing yet to secure national supplies of subsist enec. The only important measure which has been passed, affecting to provide for that object, was the Corn bill of 1828, which we beg to disclaim entirely as one of the " social and political changes" effected in accordance with Liberal principles. If that measure " have caused little else than wretchedness"—(as we are riot concerned to deny)—that wretchedness, at least, does not lie at the doors of Reformers—except vs they have too emphatically let their opponents have their own way. We assure the Post we shall never call for "the extension" of those " principles," which at present govern the material well-being of the general population. The whole responsibility of those " principles"—in their adoption, and "extension," we leave where it belongs to the party whom Wellington led, and whom Peel leads. The party have legislated, and are legislating, on the assumption that the agriculture of this country cannot go on producing, unless the price of its products is esta blished by law above the level of the prices of the rest of the world. To secure this fancy price, which has varied, since 1814, in the views of its aspirants, from a hundred and twenty—eighty—sixty shillings, down to the average now proposed—to secure this- fancy price, which never has yet been secured, that party which,-as regards the Corn-laws, has been in power all along, continuos to assume the responsibility of keeping out some portion of those supplies which would come in, but for their sliding machinery. They do this in the name of the agricultural interest ; they do it in the face of the wretchednesS which, according to the Post, has prevailed ; they do it in the teeth, as we believe,. of fir the largest portion of that agricultural interest which they pretend to consult ; and which they consult in the persons od . landlords who maintain their political influence by withholding the sine qua non of agricultural improvement, fair leases—and in the per sons of farmers, rendered sluggish and timid by such a system. . COURIER—A gentleman of the name of Gisborne, who when in Parliament was wont to enliven the house by his facelice, if did not exactly enlighten it by his fac tiousness, has taken the trouble to rfAieve the insup portable tedium of the private life and leisure to which contemptuously condemned by every constituency once persuaded to take him on trust, by inditing and publishing a pamphlet under the title of " Letter to the Council of the Anti-Corn League," with which of course our friend of the ChronicL is or affects to be mightily taken, al though the wag of a panegyrist maliciously interjects his encomium with the insinuation that the writer is rather of the latest in . the sports of the field, meaning that he had prudently left other people to start and slaughter the game whilst he comes slyly forward after wards to pocket the brush or bag the quarry. " Much in this world." quotly :the Critic, " depends on hitting the proper raomen6; and through Mr. Gisborne has dissected Sir RoberiYeol's speech on proposing his mea sure in an admirable inipner in this letter, yet we fear the time has, in some measure, gone by for obtaining for it that. attention. which it must have commanded had it immediately followed the speech." For once we are quite of accord:,with '-bur satirical neighbour, only that we may take leave to stretch his " fear" into the absolute certainty, that neither at this present nor any byegone time could it be possible for any production from the pen, or speech from the lips, of a person of Mr. Gisborne's calibre to "command (public) atten lion," or to deserve it. That gentleman neither is, nor ever can be, more -than one of the vulgar herd of thinkers—one of the imitatores servum pccus—who blindly follow the bellwethers of the flock, and, with the morning help of the Chronicle, catch a glimpse of an idea now and then at moments few and far between, store up a chaos of musty arguments cast off as useless tbr further wear by the owners, and get by heart a multitude of fabricated facts and false assertions long exposed and forgotten by all the world besides, and derided, as well as repudiated, even now by the original owners and manufacturers of the counterfeit wares. All these Mr. Gisborne industriously hashes up and retails, in speech or print, as the concentrated essence of wit and wisdom to any assembly which will vouchsafe him a hearing, or any constituency forAv hose votes, under the patronage of Mr. Daniel O'Connell, he may go a S I'A'NDARD.—The Bill, for leave to introduce which the Chancellor of the Exchequer, moved last night, appears to be well calculated to do all that can be de sired in the matter of the Exchequer-bill fraud. It is a Bill empowering the Crown to appoint commis sioners, with the usual authority of a court of law, fully to investigate the affair. These Commis sioners will thus be able to extort evidence by a com pulsory process, to demand access to all necessary docu ments, and, in short, to take all steps necessary for the development of the truth, while, acting under the autho rity of a special statute, and, as it were, under the eye of Parliament and the country, they must discharge the duty allotted to them diligently, zealously, and honestly. The report of men even less skilful and upright than those whom Sir Robert Peel may be expected to se lect for the office of Commissioners, must, therefore, be satisfactory, much more satisfactory than the report of a mere prerogative commission, which would have no power of extorting evidence, or a Parliamentary Committee, sub ject to no responsibility. In the course that Ministers have taken they have, therefore, done the best that could be done for the country. Nevertheless, some objec tions were last night raised, if not against the course itself, against the manner in which the subject of it has been treated. It has been suggested, that a hope of com pensation ought to be held out to innocent holders of forged bills. This, we think, a mistaken view. There is nothing more dangerous than to assign to the same parties the conduct of the investigation of an alleged wrong, and the measuring of the reparation to be made for it. Men charged with the discharge of offices so naturally distinct will he sure to confound them, and too often allow their sense of an injury suffered to stand in the place of evidence that it has been suffered wrong fully. Our laws take all the precaution that human wisdom can devise against such a confusion. A wrong is complain ed of, the Judge first determines that the wrongcomplained of is one for which the law provides a remedy ; he then strictly superintends the evidence on both sides, as to the commission and amount of the alleged wrong-- taking care that no evidence pro perly due shall be withheld, and that no evi dence but such as law and experience prove to he conclusive to the elucidation of truth shall be ad vanced ; and then he leaves a Jury to decide upon the fact and the degree of the injury. This is the principle by which our administration of justice, in cases of al leged wrong, is governed—a principle never departed from by Judges,' rarely by Juries, and never departed from without causing mischief. LAW IN'T'ELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, March 4. HAMILTON V. HAMILTON. Mr. GORDON then proceeded to open this appeal. The arguments not having concluded at four o'clock, the further consideration of the case was adjourned to Thursday next. ROLLS' COURT, March 4. PARIS V. HUGHES. Lord LANGDALE gave judgment to-day in this case, the arguments in which engaged the Court for the last two days. It came on for exception to the Master's report, that he had not found as to the state of facts, that the defendant Bright more had notice .of the transaction in question. The bill had been tiled in the year 1831, and a decree of reference to the Master obtained in 1833; and the exceptions taken to the report then made by the Master formed the question now befiwe the Court. The suit had been originally instituted to set aide an al leged fraudulent sale of the estate of Paris. He had had ac- I counts with Messrs. Debutts, his solicitors, and had been arrested and imprisoned by them in 1820. Debutts insisted, as a condition of his release, that he should execute a deed with power of sale of his estate ; otherwise that he would have a commission of bankruptcy issued against him. Paris consented and executed the deed. Under that deed the property was put up to sale, and Mr. Brightmore became the purchaser. The question was whether Brightmore had notice of the transaction respecting the deed of sale. It was said that Miss Paris, the sister of the plaintiff, had given him notice. The master found the other way, and to that report exceptions were taken. His Lordship allowed the first exception ; The second exception he referred back to the Master to review his report, with directions to examine Miss Paris viva core and whatever other witnesses, and in whatever manner might seem best. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, March 4. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGKA3I.) BULTEEL V. LORD ABINGER. The further hearing of this case was continued throughout the day. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, March 4. IN RE WILLIAM RITCHIE. The insolvent in this case had been a gentleman's servant, and lately the occupier of the Blue Posts public-house, Rupert- street, Haymarket. His petition to be discharged was sup ported by Mr. Woodroffe, and opposed by Mr. Cooke, on be half of Miss Elizabeth Francis. Mr. COOKE examined the opposing creditor at great length, when she stated that she and insolvent had lived together as fellow -servants, and having saved about 4001. he induced her to lend it to him for the purpose of setting up in a public-house. In March, 1841, the Blue Poats, in Rupert-street, being to be let, she advanced, at different periods, the sum of 3421. to effect the purchase ; and after the insolvent had got the sum into his hands he told her the house belonged to Alessrs. Whit• bread and Co., the brewers, and as they had an objection to rceeivilg inglc ietuales as tcaaats, Lc: would be .0 lea: o the house taken, and also the lice:tie,. up, iuhie :tame. However he said she could remain in the house with him and his wife until such time as the money advanced was repaid. No. From the month of March to the month of September she lived there, and when she asked him to execute some deed or writing, ti secure her the money, he knocked her down and beat her most cruelly, blackening her eyes and otherwise disfi guring her. He, assisted by his wife, repeated the same treat ment whenever she made a similar request, until, on the 4th of September they kicked her violently into the street, and gave her in custody to a policeman on the charge of being drunk. She was kept at the station-house until the following.morning, when, on the oath of the insolvent, she was tined five shillings by the sitting Magistrate. After that day she never returned to the Blue l'osts, and soon afterwards sued the ins advent for the amount of money lent, and took him in execution. When first sued he sold out the interest in the house for nearly the same sum which he paid for it. The witne s, in her cross-examination by Mr. WOODRUFFE, said that, although perfectly sober when given into custody of the police, she might have had the appearance of being under the influence of liquor from the kicks and ill-usage she received from the insolvent and h s wif e . Aft er b e i ng fined, she showed a certificate to the Magistrate from a medical gen tleman describing the injuries she received. Witnesses were called on behalf of the insolvent to endea vour to establish proof of Miss Francis being a person of drunken habits, but their statements were immaterial. In his examination the insolvent said that the marks of in jury which she sometimes bore on her face were the effects of falls she got while intoxicated. Mr. COOKE said the charge against the opposing creditor was one which was but too frequently brought under similar circumstances. At all events there could be no doubt but she had lost all the savings which she accumulated during a long life of servitude through the heartless conduct of the insolvent, and he trusted the Court would consider this to be a case than which few required a more severe application of the discre tionary clause of the Act. '1 he Learned CHIEF CoatatissioNEß said the opposing creditor's testimony detailed the most heartless ingratitude on the part of the insolvent ; however, there was no other evi dence adduced to confirm her statement,; but he could desig nate the conduct of the insolvent, under ail the circumstances, of taking money from a woman without using every possible means to repay her, as shabby. and disgraceful in the extreme, and an indication a an ungenerous and unfeeling mintl.. How ever, as tnere was no collateral evidence in support of that of the opposing creditor's, he felt that it was not a case which he could deal with under the clause referred to by the Learned Goose'. IN RE DAVIS. NicnoLts, on behalf of several creditors of the insol vent, who held an appointment in Woolwich, at a salary . of 3001. per annum, said he was instructed to state that the in. solvent had expressed his willingness to give up 100/. per annum of his salary, to be appropriated in the liquidation of the debts, and thltthey expressed their concurrence in the arrangement. Mr. HUGIIES; who appeared on behalf of a creditoi': at the hearing, said he had received no instructions whatever from his client. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Nicholls, who represented a large body of the creditors, expressed themselves satisfied ; when Air. Hughes offered no further opposition, and the arrangement was agreed to by the Court. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. 1 . 10111 the London Mercantile Journal of March 4.)

When the wants . _ facturers are attacked in the Legislature, they are at tacked a s individuals . ; when the landlords are attacked , it is as .gislators. The c: barge against the manufacturers is, that they are crw 31 to their workmen, extortioners, kiraves, and Oolatori 3of the law. All th ese are offences for which thC law prescribes, or undertakes- to prescribe, punish duof th ted bef e l ore tu th rd e nin als and h e t c h o e u y n o tr u y g . h t I t t o i b s e n p ot ro s s ai ec s - that they m ••e cruel to their tenantry and workmen, though they are obnoxious to the charge. It is not said L hat they art individually extortioners , knaves, and vl'o ' lators of the law, though they are just as open :to such accus rations as other men ; but they are pub licly accus, in the Legislature, and by the Press,,, there being no other tribunal than public opiniom to which an a peal lies, of prostituting, to enrich them-- selves, the povk •er with which they are entrusted to pro vide for the gene.val welfare. To that charge .no denial has been o r can be given. Lord JOHN RUSSELL admitted it, when he admitted that they .had a bias ; in fact the charge is confirmed by every page of human nature. Those who are entrusted with power ever have ass:tined, and ever will assume (they catmot avoid it) that their own interest is coin cident with that of the public, and with a view to their own interest alone they have made laws. That is the great fact in the landlords' legislative capacity, Nc,hic h t he League justly denounces the bitter fruits of ich we are now tasting, and not any facts in their private cha racter, or in their relations of man to man. - - , the bulk of the landlords have on this matter, we a different standard of morality, from the bulk ,of the pe „ . ole;which accounts for the difference of language.. The i r sta. ndard is what the law has hitherto prescribed ; the pen i s) udge it by a vague notion, perhaps, of natural right and jos, ice. The landlords look to practice and precedent—the people to precept and principle. In this -lative power has long b een in the country the leg's:. L hands of one class. It was much more so f ormer ly than 'mulk of the people we re qu it e dis" at present, when the of the laws were ma d e regarded, and the majt. s of one class. property, and notably elusively for the advantag. ` For example, the protectie. l landed property, has for ages been the great object of the law, and the protection of it,:dustry or labour, as co ntradistinguished from property, has been an amazingly inferior care of the Legislature. Th: , Inimie of the bulk of the landlords are fashioned on that klanderir and they think that they do no wrong if they atihere to the precedentS of former Legislatures. While the people, growing in knowledge, reject these precedents, anid, as suming a higher standard, call on the Legislature to do that which is naturally just and right, the landlords; persist, in spite of the growing knowledge of mankind,. ;n adhering to old. precedents of wrong, done, perhaps, in ignorance ; and therefore it is that the press and the people stigmatize them in their legislative capacity as unjust, as wrong-doers, And as extortioners by means of the law. The Legislature, it ought to be remembered, Is consti tuted to protect the rights of she bulk of the people, and not to protect the rights of the landlords, or what they think , their rights. It is not to protect property, exclusively, but industry also. It is to protect the rights of the litany, or what the many regard and claim as their rights. Its • chief end and aim — the very ob j ect for winch it exists-- is the satisfaction of the people, and if it effect not tha , it has no longer a just claim to exist. Th;s is so tru that it derives all its authority from the consent of the people, and when they boldly withhold their consent it must cease to be. The landlords, as Legislators., chal lenge our obedience ; the manufacturers petr,:ue their calling like other men, and challenge no obediene while the press and the League, are justified in answei - tog the challenge of the landlords by pointing out ay. ' l r wrong doing, nobody is justified in attacking individox manufacturers in the House of Commons and in the. public papers. We thought Mr. COBDEN put the matter on, a right footing last night in the House of Commons, when he objected even to defending himself in that Home from charges brought against him as a man. The Courts of Law, and not the House of Commons, are the tribttf nals to investigate charges of fraud and cruelty against individuals. At the same time Mr. COBDEN in his owls behalf, and Mr. VILLIERS in behalf of the League, gave• a solemn and direct denial to Mr. FEnnAND's charges. The House was convinced of the justice of the vindica tion, and we believe the author of the unfounded charge, will in future, notwithstanding the encouragement of the aged counsellors beneath —notwithstanding the appro bation of the Ministers of the Crown, and the represen tative of the Church, be much more sparing of is vituperation. We received last night the Dutch and Flanders Mails w:th news up to the 2d inst. According to the accounts from Brussels, preparations are going on for the trial of the conspirators, but the process is so slow that the re sult may not be received before another conspiracy breaks out. The Dutch Papers state that the finances of Prussia are in a most prosperous condition. If this be a matter of fact, Prussia stands alone, for all other Continental States are at their wit's end to find. ways and means. DUTCH FUN 113.--. RbtBTHRDA bl, MA RCH 2. Money Bins.

LONDON SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 5, 1842. Sir ROBERT PEEL last night announced, very much, we believe, to the satisfaction of the country, for, as the Right Hon. Gentleman said, he had received a number of letters, urging him to bring the matter speedily for ward, that he would, on Friday next, make his financial statement, and explain his whole plans as to taxes and trade. His announcement was loudly cheered, as if the information were desired by the House and the country. Lord II ow lc x suggested, and with some propriety, that the second reading of the Corn-law Bill should be postponed till after the financial statement had been made; but no notice was taken of his suggestion. The second reading of that Bill was definitively fixed for Wednesday next, and the Whigs, as Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated, will take a debate and a division on that stage, because the Bill is not an adequate settlement of the question. Although the Whigs still wrangle for a fixed duty, we are glad to find them protesting against the re-enactment of an unjust law, and their votes against it will honourably shake off from them the infamy of assenting to a law designed to keep up the price and stint the food of the people. They arc not to be taken in by the title cunningly and designedly written, the Corn Importation Bill. It is not a corn bringing-in, but a corn keeping-out Bill, which corn, but for the Bill, would be poured in abundantly, the country gentlemen say ; and it ought to be called a Bill annually to starve a certain number of the people, from the unfounded expec tation of thereby keeping up the landlords' rent. But the nature and effects of this Bill no longer need discus sion; it is unworthy of us, and of the public, to discuss the details of an enactment so monstrous in principle; and the only question of public importance concerning it is, how we can get rid of it, either before or after the landlords have given it the form of law. We are not sorry to be supplied with an opportunity of explaining in what sense sundry opprobrious epithets have been publicly applied to the landowners. Lord JOHN RUSSELL deprecated in strong and emphatic terms the abuse which Mr. FERRAND had heaped on the manufac turers, and then, turning round, he equally deprecated the language applied by the League to the landowners, as if they had, for their own selfish purposes, and not from the purest integrity, passed corn, and such similar laws. Now, between the manufacturers and the landowners there is a great distinction. The former are not the land, they are p a id for their se rr i ces .
