Without friends, without a home, and bereft of all but hope, they venture most respectfully to appeal to the benevolence of the public,. and to the generous sympathies of those to whom the deceased may have been once known, or who have been instructed or amused by his works. Mr. Mudie was a native of Forfarshire, in Scotland. He was in the strictest sense self-educated, and won his way to knowledge and considerable renown by the energy of his talents. For upwards of thirty years he devoted himself to literary and scientific pursuits; first as a teacher of youth, and afterwards in a great number and variety of works ; the most generally popular and successful of which have been his volumes ° ll " Natural History" and the " Seasons." , T he Pecuniary reward, however, which Mr. Mudie derived 'ram his Writings barely sufficed to meet the immediate charges of housekeeping in the Metropolis; and when at last his constitution broke down, under the pressure of unintermitting sedentary labour and its anxieties, he dirt! literally penniless. His Meted Family, the sharers of this bitter lot, have no re source but in the present reluctant appeal.

FOR EXAMPLE. A person aged 30, may with this Society assure his life for 5001., by th e annual payment of 111 3s. 4d., which in a '''ociety where the Bonus is held out as a main inducement, would cost him 131. 7s. 44., or, in other words, for the same annual pre mium he could at this Offire assure very nearly 6001, whereby he derives AN IMMEDIATE AND CERTAIN BONUS OF 100/. All particulars as to Shares, Loans, Assurances, &c. may be obtained on app li cat i on to the Secretary ; and, if requ i re d, forwarded to the country. Parties in the country eligible for undertaking Agencies are requested to apply. A very liberal Commission allowed to Solicitors and Agents. EDW. T. RICHARDSON, Actuary and Sec. Difference .... £22 10 0 pay-able at death. Thus on Old System, the higher premium yields 221. 10s. more at death, but on the Modern 221. 9s. id. present cash in hand, which should purchase at the Equitable's printed prices 401. 13s. 7d. Bonus, instead of 221. 10s., a difference fully equal to expectations dependent on a life now aged 53, surviving decen nial periods, and on (Aber circumstances. Thus as to past, Old has no advantage over Modern System; whereas for future, the difference between 2/. 13s. 6d. and 21. 25., is a clear annual saving in favour of Modern. Other ages would give similar results, and of course with extended effect on larger sums. A Policy before 1817 would be at a period when fluctuation in the value of money afforded means of investment which it would he sheer speculation to expect to recur, and a more recent Insurance might have no Bonus. It is notorious that the Equitable has afforded the greatest actual and comparative Bonuses of which the system is capable. It may seem unanswerable, that if Proprietary Com panies make a profit, Mutual Assurers without Pro prietary must have such profit returned to themselves. ibis can never he the case —every sound Society will have a collected fund, to counteract specific contin gencies in deaths. Proprietors furnish this by forming a capital, and the premiums necessary for deaths and expenses are increased to yield interest to Proprietors for the use of such capital. But in a Mutual Society, no ca pital being present, higher premiums must be charged to provide a " Reserve Fund," and of course this can only be founded on such part of the high premium as deaths and expenses do not consume, consequently the Assured can never have all the savings returned, because a portion must be held back to sustain the reserved fund, and this portion, as above shown, ex ceeds in practice what a just Proprietary need re quire as profit on subscribed capital. In brief, the Assured pay to a sound Proprietary excess to yield mere interest : in Mutual Associations a capital itself has to be created and sustained from time to time by excess of premium. It is clear, therefore, that more must be retained from the Assured to form and sus tain a reserved fund, than Proprietors need exact as interest for a capital already furnished. The above, more in detail, may be had at the Asylum-office, on inquiring for Paper on " Bonus Systems." GEO. FARREN, Resident Director. Asylum Life -office, 70, Cornhill, London. FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE lIUMDER.-011 Satur day evening, the 10th instant, between eight and nine o'cl9ck, the steam-ship Tiger, for Hamburgh, was pro ceeding down the Humber, Captain Knocker himself being on the paddle-box, and men as usual at the bow on the look-out, when they suddenly came upon a ballast lighter, the Venture, of this port, J. Clark, master, laden with sand for Barton. From the dusk of evening, in creased by the smoke and steam descending from the chimney, which, as the steamer was proceeding only at a moderate rate, hovered upon her decks and in the air before her, the wind being upon her stern, the lighter was not seen in time to avoid a collision. The steamer struck her, and she began to fill. Two men were upon her deck, to whom ropes were thrown, and which fell across the lighter near to the men. It is possible, how ever, that they did not think their danger so great as it proved, and perhaps thought of saving themselves in their own boat, and it is extremely likely they were in the boat, but had not time to cut the painter before the lighter sank, which she did immediately, drawing the boat down with it, which, with the men, instantly disap peared. The Tiger put about instantly, and lowered and manned a boat, but nothing could be found excepting a man's cap, which Mr. Calvert, the pilot in charge of the steamer, seeing on the surface of the water, and thinking it might be the head of one of them just above water, leaped overboard and swam to, but found nothing but the cap. The vessel belonged to a widow named Bolton ; the master, John Clark, has left a widow and three `nail children ; the name of his man was Atkinson, who, we was unmarried.—Hull Herald.

NORWICH, FRIDAY, SEPT. lfi.—The Samson Agnuistes of Milton, joined with the sublime strains of Handel, formed the .grand entertain ment at the '' festival" this day. The design of Professor Taylor in the present version ofSantson will he best expressed in his own words:— "To the acknowledged and obvious defects of the, libretto, oa which Handel worked, I have rneos‘tvoerinnrc, wherever l i eas;!iiredt o apply a p ar ti a l remedy, by Possible, the text of the aSrzyrsos7Assonistes; availing myself also of pas sages fr o m it s uuthor ' s minor poems, and some times (fur m os i ca l effects) of aid derived from other sources. I w i s h i t had been poss ibl e to have accompli s h e d a more complete restoration of the text o f Mil ton ; but in many important portions of the existing oratorio the music and the words must be retained or rejected together; in such cases the words are retained for the sake of the music. To such additions as have been made to the firmer libretto I have endeavoured tol adapt music of Handel, worthy his exalted reputation, and worthy the association in which he is placed. One exception occurs, in the piece which have introduced from the same source whence Handel hiuiself, with great judgment and effect, has derived another and similar por tion o his- oratorio. Man:; of his best songs (written 'tor the greatest singers of the age), in coasequence of their having been composed for Italian operas, are now consigned to oblivion. Some of' these have ventur e d to revive, and the music of a few chorusses, taken from such of his oratorios as are never performed entire, have been added. These deservedly rank among their author's most successful efforts. Some pieces of great beauty are added which I believe exist only in MS. Whether I have successfully accomplished the object I had in view must be decided by others. I engaged in it with a feeling of some what more than admiration of the genius of the poet and of the musician; and after having de voted no inconsiderable thought and research to the present work, I venture, under a just sense of the resp'insibility I have encountered, to pre sent it to my countrymen. The first scene remains nearly the same as in the original oratorio, and ushers in the approach ing festival to flagon, with " the trumpet's lofty sound." In the next the text of Milton is adopted, and thus introduces Samson : " A little onward lend thy guiding hand To these dark steps —a little further on; For yonder bank bath choice of sun or shade. There am I wont to sit, when any chance Relieves my chance of se rv il e t o il . Here breath fresh bl ow i ng : I feel e me l fromieal ,en's Here leave me to respire. Then follows that most pathetic appeal_s tal Eclipse." Micah's address, like the opening recitative of Samson, is then, for the first time, connected with music:— " 0 change b7ond report, thought, or belief! Which shall I first bewail, Thy bondage or lost sight ? Prison within prison, Inseparably dark ? The sun to thee, alas! extinct And silent as the moon When she deserts the night, Hid in her v a c ant interlunar cave." Th e music which gives express i on to this pas sage, as well a s to t h e song. " In G o d, your Father, trust," is in Hander's happiest styl e . A n • (Nullity g•racetul cantabile, "Lord, let thy mercy lighten," was expressively sung by Phillips, to whom was allotted the part of Manoah. The song of S amson (g Thesis sightless orbs," is pregnant with beauty, an d in the highest degree interestin g . Th ere Is a transition at the words " my nic e o f g l or y' s ru n, and race of shame," as unexpected as it is expressive. The morning sacrifice of the .Tews is corn _ meneed with a h ymn o f deep solemnity, taken, like • the ' like th e c h orus i n a subsequent part of oratorio, from Cers;ssinti. A q uartet of'skilf c i textnre.siteceeds, and, after .the chorns, will sot lo ng d e f er to v i n dicate his name," a song full of swe e t me l o d y , slut," st by Afidame s ratl ori Alien. Arnowg the other compositions of Handel whi c h are woven i n t o this act is the quintet, " Israel, trust in the Lord." This and the quartet were altogether new to us. Th e songs are kno wn i n their oriis n" l l forte to those who are conversant with Handers Italian operas, but the two ,eoncerted pieces are probably among his MS. compositions. The act terminates with the chorus " Immortal Lord," a co mposition of unsurpassed majesty. The second act opens with a beautiful instrumental introduction, taken from one ofHandel's concertos, to introduce the chorus, " Before the s apphire-colour'd throne Of Him who ever rules alone, Our hea ven l y - gu i ded soul s hall climb : There, all his earthly grossness quit, Attied with stars we shall for ever sit, And triumph over Death and thee, 0 Time !" The well-known air," Return ,0 God of hosts," is then sung by Mi ca h, to w hich,was now added the less often performed, b ut equ ally beautiful, chorus, " To dust His glory they would tread." The approach of Harapha is appropriately an nounced by 'the magnificent chorus " - See, the proud chief advances." Balfe was the Philistine champion, and went through the scene with Samson with spirit and effect. Then comes the majestic invocation of th e J e ws, which Handel, with such excellent judgment, transplanted into his oratoria front Uarissinsi. The scene changes to the temple of Damon, and the entry of the priests is announced by a march of stately and somewhat martial character. The music now assumes a lighter and more festive style. The semi-chorus, " Hear us, 0 flagon," transplanted from Athalia, is cheerful and graceful, and the song, " Spirits of mirth and pleasure," ranks among Handel's best bravuras. There is a fine and joyous spirit throughout, at which he some times aimed without success. We think the ori ginal will be found in his Lotharius. This song was beautifully sung by Miss Rainforth. Equally animated is the duet, " Ye gallant youths, ad vance," arid its concluding chorus. Samson is then led in, an d th e derisive shouts of the assembled crowd assail him. His invoca tion, " 0 Lord, remember, me this once," is ex quisite, and equally beautiful was Hobbs's deli very of it. The catastrophe now approaches. The scene is without the temple of flagon, where Manoah, Micah, and the friends of Samson await his return. Manoah's expression of gratitude for their sympathy is interrupted by a sudden and appalling crash, and, midst the " noise, so i!orribly loud," are heard the shrieks and cries of the Philistines, subsiding gradually into perfect and awful stillness. •" To- an instrumental in and monrnthl- The third act bt.ins with ItlreoAds preluding s t A r l i a k n i 10 - i g al s e o ,, letn n i ty pathetic lament for hi,, ____ ~ Death, Whi.isitesiallieffe'with lielinciete'to the „awe well — known rare as it is Iva ineagss the gloom fro s st." ~„...

When all was so excellent in performance, it is scarcely necessary to say more in the way of individual eulogy. All the singers went through their parts, not with cold correctness, but with evident ease and pleasure. Thus closed the musical- performance of the t v l a lo s ved seventh triennial Norwich Musical Festival, which, whether we consider it in a pecuniary or a musical light, h a s been most completely suc cessful. Already preparations are t a lk ed of for the next, and we doubt not but that before Pro fessor Taylor leaves Norwich, some arrangeMent for the meeting of 1845 will be made, I t i s dqe to the Professor to say that he enters heart and soul into the whole arcana and minutiw of tl►e business, and he is most liberally supported by the committee, who, placing in him their full confidence, do not mar his plans by niggardly, simple, or cold and lukewarm support. It is no wonder, theretbre, that the Norwich Festivals have been successful in the past ; fir the future, we wish them perpetuity and increased success. The flincy ball, on Friday night, was attended by 703 of the haut ton of the country and city. There was only a thin sprinkling of fancy cha racters; but the joyousness of the party was not damped by this circumstance, and the merry dance was kept up till about tour o'clock on Saturday morning. This closed all the amuse ments of the Festival. NEW PARISH CONSTABLES' ACT. Among the Acts of. the British Legislature to which her Majesty Queen Victoria gave her Royal assent in person before the prorogation of Parliament on the 12th of August, was " An Act tin. the Appointment and Payment of Parish Constables," (5 and 6 of Victoria, c. 109), which will effect an important change in the mode of appointing awl remunerating parish constables. As the statute is about to come into immediate operation, and as it affects every parish and township in England, it may not be amiss to call public attention to its leading provisions; The preamble recites, that whereas it will in crease the security of persons and property, if' further provision be made for the appointment of fit persons to act as constables in the several parishes of England, and if power be given to pay them for the performance of their duties; and it proceeds to enact that after the expiration of 80 days, and before the expiration of 100 days next after the passing of the Act, and on some day after the 24th of March, and before the 9th of April, in each following year, the Justices of the Peace of every county in England shall hold a special petty session of the peace in their several divisions, for the appointment of paro chial constables, of which session. due notice shall be given to every Justice usually acting in that division. The 2d section requires the JuStices within 30 days next after the passing ofthe Act, and within the first seven days of February in each follow ing year, to issue a precept under the hands of any two of them to the overseers of each parish within the division, requiring them to make and return, within 80 days next after the passing of the Act, and before the 24th of March in each following year, a list in writing of a competent number of mesa within their respective parishes qualified and liable to serve. By the 31 section it is enacted that the over seers of every parish, upon the receipt of such precept, shall summon a meeting of the inhabit ants in vestry, to be held within 14 days after the receipt of said precept; and the vestry at such meeting are to make out a list in writing of such number as shall be stated in the precept of men residing within their parish who shall be qualified and liable to serve as constables, with the Christian name and surname, and with the true place of abode, the title, quality, calling or business, of each written at full length; and the vestry are empowered to annex to the said return the names of any number of men willing to serve the office of constable, and whom . the vestry will recommend to he appointed, although not having the qualification hereinafter mentioned. Section 5 enacts, that every able-bodied man resident within the parish, betvieen the ages of 25 and 55 years, rated to the relief of the poor or to the county-rate on any tenement of the net yearly value of - 4/. or upwards, except such persons as shall be exempt or disqualified, as hereinafter mentioned, shall be qualified and liable to serve as constable of that parish. Section 7 enacts, that all licensed victuallers, and persons licensed to deal in exciseable liquors, or to sell beer by retail, all game-keepers, and all persons who have been attainted of any treason or felony, - or convicted of any inatmous crime, shall be disqualified from serving the ottice of constable under this Act. Section 8 enacts, that the overseers shall make t true copies of the list so agreed to in vestry; and whcre any of the persons named in the said list shall have been chosen to serve, and shall have served, the office of constable i n th e sa id parish, in person or by substitute, the overseers shall set against his name in the list the date of the year of such service, and shall on the three Sundays next before the day limited for making their return in this year, and on the first three Sundays in the month of March ,in each follow ing year, fix a true copy of such list upon the principal door of every church, chapel, and other public place of religious worship within their parish, having first subjoined to every such copy a notice stating that all objections to the list will be heard by the Justices at a time and place to be mentioned in such notice, and shall keep a copy of the list, to be inspected by any inhabitant, at any reasonable time, during the three weeks next before the day limited for making their re turn in this year, and during the first three weeks of the month of March in each following year, without any fee or reward. Section 9 empowers two Justices to fine the overseers not more than 5/. for any neglect or omission of any of the duties herein required. Section 10 requires the overseers to attend be fore the Justices with their lists; and it empowers the Justices to amend the lisis in their discretion, and to allow the same. Section 11 enacts, that the Justices shall choose from the lists allowed the names of such number as they shall think necessary to act as constable within the parish during the year then nextfollow in,on. and until other constables shall be chosen and sworn to act in their stead; but any person who shall have been chosen and served, in person or by substitute, shall not be liable to be again chosen until every other person in the parish, liable or qualified to serve, shall have served the office either in person or by substitute. Section 12 prescribes the form of oath to be taken by constables so chosen, and enacts that if persons so chosen shall be unwilling to serve, they shall find a substitute to be approved by the Justices. By section 13 the penalty on any person who shall refuse to act as constable, or to find a sub stitute, shall not exceed 101.; and every person who after being sworn shall refuse or wilfully neglect to act in the execution of his office shall be liable to pay not exceeding 5/. for every offence. Section 14 provides for "the publication of the names of the constables appointed; and section 15 defines the powers or the constables so ap pointed. They are within their county, and' within - all adjoining counties, to have all the powers, privile!zes,anditmnuni ties,.and to be liable duties and res to all the PonsibilitiC4 of a constable within his constablewick, hurShall not . be bound to net as a constable beyond the parish for which t hey are severally appointed and sworn, without the special warrant of a Justice of the Peace. Section 17 empowers the Justices in General or Quarter Session, with the approbation of the Secretary of State, to settle tables of fees and allowances to justices' clerks and constables, and names the funds from which . they are to be paid. Section.lB empowers the vestry assembled for the purpose of making the returns aforemention ed to resolve that one or more pall constables shall be appointed for their parish, and to fix the amount of his salary. Section 19 enacts, that if the JusticeA shall be satisfied with the amount of salary agreed to be paid, they shall appoint so many paid constables to act for that parish as shall be agreed to hey the resolution; or if the same resolution shall Itave been agreed to by more parishes than one adjoin ing each other, may, if they shall think fit, ap. point the same paid constables to act conjointly' for all such last-mentioned parishes; and in every parish in which a paid constable 'trail be appoint ed under this Act, the Justices, if they shall think fit, need not appoint any unpaid constables or may appoint a smaller number of unpaid con stables than they had otherwise resolved on ap pointing for that parish; and: every paid consta ble shall hold his appointment until he resign or be dismissed for misconduct by the Justices of the division in Petty Session assembled, or until the vestry shall rescind the resolution for his ap pointment at any meeting of vestry holden for finking such return as aforesaid. Section 20 directs that the salaries ofpaid con stables shall be paid by the overseers out of the poor -rates in their hands. Section ~ . 11 pniwis, that after the passing of this Act no petty constable, headborough, borsholder, tithingman, or peace-officer of the like descrip tion, under any name of Owe, shall be appointed for any parish, township, or ville within the limits o f t hi s it e t 3 e xcept for the performance of duties Sectio'n 22 empowers the Justices in general or quarter sessions, under certain restrictions, tp order lock-up houses to be provided, accordiq to plans approved by a Secretary of State. Section 2:3. When a lock-up house shall have been provided; the Justices are to appoint a superintending constable to have the chargf thereof, who shall also have the superintendence of all the parish constables appointed in such parishes as shall be ordered by the Justices, anal under such regulations as they shall make l ; every such superintendi ng consta bl e to b o ll office until dismissed by the Justices in genet-4 or quarter sessions assembled, and to receive hi'p salary out of the county rate. MONEY MARKET and CIT Y NEWS;, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TEMES.—It was mentioned last week that a con signment of indigo and cotton to the value of 112,000 dollars had been made to London for the benefit cif the holders of Guatemala bonds. It has since been stated, on authority, that the shipment alluded to Wa r s made at Realego, a port in the Pacific, in May last, on board the Monarch, Captain Lecheur, and that in surance has been effected by an eminent firm, which has received th e bill s o f l a di ng . I t i s added hat the shipment results from a large quantity of tobacco, obtained from the State of Costa Rica, in 1840, by the exertions of the British Consul there, on condition of that State being absolved from more than a stipuL lated share of the original Guatemala debt. Henc the of the funds to ari se f rom th e cons i gn t ment above referred to is dependent upon the ConL sul's instructions, in order that he may secure the fulfilment of the condition by the bondholders before the distribution takes place. The whole debt of Gua temala does not exceed 160,0001. or 170,0001., bear.' ! ing 6 per cent. interest. Some correspondents, in respect to railway matters, ask for an explanation of the advance of the Blackwell fares before the period mentioned in the report, which was the Ist of next month. We apprehend that the only satisfactory explanation able to be given is, that the Directors wish to prepare themselves against a falling off in the season's traffic consequent upon the withdrawal of many of the pleasure steamers now the fine weather draws to a close, and that they have there fore availed themselves of the earliest possible time of doing so, in the hope of keeping up their receipts near the amount which they were in the spring. There are also complaints made of the mode now practised by Railway Companies charging a cheap fare for the whole extent of the line, but varying it in a very disproportionate manner to passengers who have to alight at intermediate stations. A Corres-, pondent writes, that in taking a pleasure trip to Ileadcorn by the South-Eastern Railway he paid 7s. for his passage, but, finding nothing there to interest him, he made up his mind to return to Rei gate. To his great surprise, however, instead of the 3s. Bd. set down in the time-table as the charge for Reigate, the clerk demand e d .ss. 10d., and th e resu lt ; was that as no remonstrance was heeded our Corre spondent returned direct to town. Had he acquiesced, he would, with the 3s. 4d. for the fare from Reigate to London, have paid 9s. 2d. for his conveyance, whereas the public, by the representations of the Company, are made to believe that the charge is but 7s. • These appear to be some of the old tricks of coach proprietors, who were, in their monopoly, noto rious for this manoeuvre of " long and short fares," hut in their day it was scarcely tolerated, and we think will hardly be so now on the. part of corporate bodies. Shareholders in general should pay much attention, and see that such questions as these are properly investigated and settled, for if they are car ried on to any great extent, they may prove of incal culable mischief to the traffic of any line on which artifices of the sort are practised. POST'.—The funds were depressed in a trifling de gree this morning. They, indeed, closed rather hea vily, in consequence of some rumours that were in circulation respecting a Dutch loan operation. It ap pears that sales of Dutch stock were made towards the end of the past week in the Amsterdam market, under the impression that the Government of Hol land was desirous of negotiating another small loan, against the credit voted by the States-General, the, sum named being 6,000,000 guilders, or half a mil lion sterling. Whether or not such is really the ob ject of the Dutch Executive seems uncertain, but it is felt here, assuming the fact to be as stated, that none of the stock will find its way to the Eng, lish market, and that the whole will be ab sorbed at home. According to some accounts, the Government of the H ague was about to obtain an other instalment of the money due to it from the Belgian Government under the late arrangement, in virtue of which Belgium was made chargeable with a portion of the general debt, as it stood anterior to the separation of the two countries. It was asserted that a great capitalist in this city was to make the Belgian Government a further advance of money for current purposes, and that the amount contemplated was to be extended to the sum required to cover the instal ment alluded to as payable to the Government of Holland. The Dutch houses in town do not appear to have any information on these matters upon which the public can place reliance, but if there be any new financial movement in progress in either of the said kingdoms, it is likely that well authentioated particu lars concerning it will be received in the course of a post or two. It seems that there was at Amsterdam some disposition to take in stock so long as the belief existed that a further payment was to be looked for at the hands of' the Belgian Government, but that speculation was damped by the less agreeable rumour which succeeded, and the idea to which it gave rise of the wants of the Dutch Exchequer being once more about to be supplied out of Dutch pockets. CHRONICLE. —.the Ministerial organs, under their City head, express great surprise this morning that there ahould have been no further rise in the National geourities, consequent upon the receipt of what they term news of considerable importance, connected with the position of our foreign relations. The Funds cannot be always rising, and Consols are already a t 93, which is a very high figure indeed. It is impossible that the pried of Stocks can always be on the advance. The speculators bought Stock in ex pectation that the funds would improve on the ratifi cation of the Boundary Treaty, arid when the event " (mime off" we suppose they sold. :The same sort of thing is exhibited in the Foreig n Stock. Stock Market as i n th e English. After a deal of bt jectionable mystery and uncertainty the advertising of the October dividends has also "come off" in Mexican Bonds, but that particular stock, instead of rising, has Wien, which is somewhat strange, for there has been no inducement to make parties sell, on the notice of the payment of the dividends, to realize a profit. We have felt called upon several times of late to notice a want of openness and fair dealing in regard to Mexican affairs. Everything connected with them is made a secret of, and kept in the hands of a few. In regard to the dollars received from time to time for the dividends, noofficial account is published. The sums received are communicated by third parties, and nothing official is made known to the bondholders regarding the amount at their s.po.ial. We are quite aware of the inquiry at the Custom house, referred to by Mr. James _Bamford, but whether our . Correspondent be correct in his state ertsehteaeebis a l t i , hi s n h ig - t meat that the frauds have been committed by im porters of foreign-manufactured goods through the gross misconduct of certain offi in ce ment, we do not find that we have sufficient infor hr officers sofstatementtAhet mation to enable us to give a decisive opinion. N e i t h er shall we at once at acquiesce the officers in question have been habitually Correspondent in ure th possible the e bribes, although we believe several officers h ave been suspended pending the . investigati on , time we fully concur with our f - inu e st gaged reserv in e importance of exposing, as far as who have been illegally and dishonestly n ,pa r t ies the inquiry these nefarious practices, although w hush hlut pistvheeryafflaikireal our further judgment until the resuthltateo there may he yaltogether. But we kn t o o w h n u . a b e n attempt n de do not believe that this will be Parliament meets the whole b e Will neas Y job.

S 14 LUDLOW REFORM BANQUET. 'r A dinner and presentation of plate to Colonel . Salwey, which we have already. alluded to elsewhere, took place on Tuesday last at the Golden Lion, Ludsii low. In the course of the 'evening the Gull Colonel delivered a speech, from 'ralaiialk- we 'make following extract 10, S. S %131 1 " I venture to say (said Colonel a wey. in -address ing his constituents and friends assembl e d) th a t th e b feelin... which has induced you to reward my services so far beyond my merits, is highly honourable to I yourselves, because it proves that a fearless and steady adherence to principle is more valued in your estimation than abilities or talents: of the most splen did °Ha% I endeavoured during my career in Par liament to follow out those principles which induced you to honour me with your confidence, and to elect me as your representative in 1837.• 1 trust I have not betrayed that confidence. W hen I see wealthy candidates running from one constituency to another, invading freedom of election, polluting the fingers of voters with bribes, and wasting thousands upon thou sands in corrupting and demoralizing the people, I coni%ss it does appear to me that such men ; , .an have but one object in view—that of making Parliament a stepping-stone to their own aggrandizement, and seeking their own elevation in life. The glorions , xesult of the election of 1837 is still fresh in the momory of every one here present, in spiring the reformers of Ludlow, and every friend to civil and religious 3lberty, with enthusiastic hopes for the future. On the removal of my then Noble Col league to the House of Lords in 1839, the field was again open for another contest, and I shall ever cons Sider that the course pursued at that election struck a most heavy and disastrous blow at the Liberal interests of this borough.--(Cheers.) A system of unparalleled bribery was then introduced by the one side, and I regret to add, at length adopted by tha other, and this evidence of gross • political • Prostitution being laid before Parliament, a vo id election was the natural and inevitable result. The stormy debates and frequent divisions which en sued in Parliament against issuing the writ will not be readily erased from the memory of those more. immediately interested. Should any stranger be de sirous of informing himself of the baneful influence and demoralising tendency of such a system of elec tion, let him open the pages of the Blue B ook or Evidence taken before the Ludlow Committee, an d I would especially draw his attention to the Dinh an , House . .scenes, as strongly emblematical of T v: , tactics. Ludlow had now obtained an unenv;.,thj e notoriety. The contest of 1840 was, however, looked forward to as one which would redeem the 'character of the borough. The Reformers unPAmously re solved to mark their abhorrence of the late disrepu table proceedings, and try the issue of public prin ciple against corruption. The dissolution of Perlia went took place, and never at any general election. were you • called upon to move in a cause sc. peculiarly affecting the interests of the people. You again determined not to swerve from the paths of purity and honour; but the basest and most open corruption defeated all our efforts, and Ludlow now;. sends to Parliament two monopolists —followe n of the most unprincipled band of apostates that fever seized the reins of this or any other Governiaient. And yet this was com memora t e d as a great and triumphant victory ! A t r i um ph over what ? A. triumph of political pr o fli gac y over political truth—of fraud and hypocrisy over honour and independence! But nobly and honourably did the gallant band •of Ludlow I.iberals perform their dutp—out-numberedi by the monopolists, there were yet found 156, includ ing many of the humblest class of voters, who, trete to the best interests of their country—undeterred by the threats of the clergy and the apers of aristocracy, and scorning the temptations of Torr gold—resolutely stood firm in the cause of politic.:d t c o o r s i ite u p c i t i i l o a n te omni which fearful prelai le e d ffec a ts t o t f h e t h e i virtue and th e p eop l e ' s r i ghts.

Parliament ; and, indeed, ask any person whether it is reasonable to expect national morality with a Le gislature which has lost all claim to the respect tnd confidence of the people ? I know nothing which so strongly indicates the fallen condition of the country than to see the vessel of State now in the hands of a„ man who never advocated a cause which he has if , ,t betrayed, associated too as he is with his Home See - te . tary—the most unblushing apostate of modern days."

"I believe one reason," observes Sir - Walter Scott, "why such numerous instances of erudition occur among the lower ranks is, that, with the same powers of mind, the poor student is limited to a narrower circle for indulging his passion for books, and must. necessarily make himself master of the few he pos t sesses, before he can acquire more."

Can insurers get superior, equal, or less actual be nefit, in a Bonus Society, than from establishments on other principles ? Adduce the man who, in 1817, insured at 30, for 1001. in the Equitable (here only specifically named as the leading type of the Bonus class)-the annual premium then anti now 21. 13s. 6d. In 1840, what were his prospects ? He had paid twenty-four times 2/. 13s. 6d., i. e. 641. 45., improved at four per cent. in terest to 104/. 10s. 11d., the amount virtually outlaid: and has still to pay yearly 21. 13s. 6d. Thus the So ciety have 1041. 10 s . 11d. in hand, and further derive from him 6/. 17s. 2d. annually (i. e. the 2/. 13s. 6d. and 4/. 3s. Bd. interest on sum saved). For these he is promised 1001. at death, and 221. 10s. Bonus, made up of two and a half per cent. per annum, from 1831, (the earliest time at which Insurers after 1816 became entitled to any Bonus), to 1840, together with 1221. 10s. with a prospective two and a half per cent. if he die before 1850.. Modern rates, if taken in 1817 (as by the ASYLUM Company since 1824), with out Bonus, would be, premium 2/. 25., sum paid 50/. Bs., improved to 82/. ls. 6d., . yielding interest 3/. ss.
