Credit until death, with privilege of payment at any time previously, for one-half of the premiums for the first five years upon Assurances for the whole of life ; a plan peculiarly advan tageous for securing Loans. 2.

The principle of this Company is to allow to each Assurer such reasonable advantag es, as may suit his particular views. Thus, parties Assuring the Lives of others, may make their Policies secure, notwithstanding the Life Assured may go out of the limits of Europe, without the necessary permission of the Directors having been previously obtained. Credit of half the Premiums for the first five years, allowed on Polices effected for the whole term of Life. Parties who have been Assured for five years will be allowed to borrow on the security of their Policies, a sum equal to one-half the Premiums paid, less that for the first year. Advances are made to parties Assured in the Office, on real or undoubted Persor al Security, for terms not exceeding three years, repayable by instalments. Premiums moderate.

The decided superiority of its plan, and its claim to public preference and support, have been proved incontestably by its extraordinary and unprecedented success. ASSURANCES MAY EITHER BE EFFECTED BY PARTIES ON THEIR OWN LIVES, OR BY PARTIES INTERESTED THEREIN ON THE LIVES OF OTHERS. The effect of an Assurance on a person's own life is to create at once a Property in Reversion, which can by no other means be realised. Take, for instance, the case of a person at the age of thirty, who, by the payment of 51. 3s. 4d. to the Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once pos essed of a bequeathable property, amounting to 1,000/., sub ect only to the condition of his continuing the same payment quarterly during the remainder of his life—a condition which may be fulfilled by the mere saving of EIGHT SHILLINGS weekly in his expenditure. Thus, by the exertion of a very slight degree of economy—such, indeed, as can scarcely be felt as an inconvenience, he may at once realise a capital of 1,0001., which he can bequeath or dispose of in any way he may think proper. A Board of Directors in attendance daily at Two o'clock. Detailed Prospectuses, and every requisite information as to the mode of effecting Assurances, may be obtained at the Office.

The newspaper accounts of th e eart h qua ke were but little, if any, exaggerated. Th ere i s lit era lly not a whole tenantable house left in th e p l ace; a nd of the Q 9,000 or 12,000 inhabitants not less than three-fourths are beneath the ruins. Here and there a room is occupied in the old town, but most of the survivors live in a little valley called the Passette, running pa rallel to the town, in huts having neither floors nor windows, and most of them inferior to the worst out houses on our farms. Of sufferine., however, e xcept among the sick, there is little, as vegetable chief absolute necessary of life, ood, the cheap and abun dant; that is, it may be had f(L.• the gathering. And of grief I saw none. The people appeared to 4 is be as gay and cheerful as if no misfortune nad be fallen them. Ido not consider this indifference as characteristic of the people. I believe it to be generally the case where a calamity is universal. Every man sees that his neighbour is as badly off as himself. No eye is directed with especial sym pathy to him ; and he soon finds that wailing is superfluous and " won't pay." And not only this, g st i a n Lling" keeps a but, in the excitement consequent to the breaking up of all conventional arrangements, civil and domestic, all external restraint is removed, and each man be comes as bad as he dares. Licentiousness has greatly increased since the earthquake. Almost everybody a taffa, or other ardent spirit concu bine openly, who has not taken the trouble to remove his wife from the ru ins, a nd give her a decent burial. ppea,read and many drink a largelyman "of of Marriage, however, has never been a favourite cere mony on the island. Some two or three hundred couples were married during the panic which succeeded the earthquake ; but this is now over. Did you ever remark that intense fear created intense thirst ? Within a few minutes after the first shock, nearly all the survivors were raging for water, and as all the fountains in the place but one were buried, the strug gling over this was described to m e as like that of brutes in similar circumstances. Many remarkable instances are related of tenacity of life in the buried alive. I was told by an English merchant, one of the most respectable men in the place, that a little girl was taken out of the ruins alive nine days after the earthquake. She was asked if she was hungry or thirsty. She said no. If she was in any pain from the bruise, &c. She said no—she felt very well. But she died the next day. A young man who had been ab sent at Port-au-Prince returned seven days after the earthquake. He inquired after the various members of his family. Nobody had seen them. He went to work among the ruins of his house, found his mother and sister dead, but took his father out alive, and he is living now. It will be many years before Cape Haytien regains its former mercantile importance. No movement has yet been made towards its renova tion. There is little money, no credit, and no store houses, consequently only a retail trade in the place at present.—Nantucket Inquirer.

HONESTY !—Many men there are, who, for the world, would not take a purse, yet who wou ld stea l what is of far higher value and importance. An in stance has just reached us, where a firm of long stand ing, Messrs. Rowland and Sons, have acquired a high reputation—a " good name, in short, for the value of those articles which they have discovered and pre pared for the toilet. Learning the success which Messrs. Rowland.; had achieved, and the reputations which attached to their prod3ctions, other parties, by a new and despicable species of fraud, have concocted some trashy compounds, resembling those prepared by Messrs. Rowlands, and by adopting the very same names, and closely copying the advertisements, coolly endeavour to pass off their trash as "true Macassar Oil." " real Kalydor," &c., though a glance at the signature, which is not that of Messrs. Rowlands, at once con vinces the purchaser that he is buying not the real production, but a spurious and trashy imitation, which may be, and in fact is, of the most pernicious nature. We forbear mentioning the names of parties, in the hope that the hint thus given will prevent a repetition [ of practices so injurious mid unjust. (From the Friend of China, Sept. 10.) The following literal English versien of a procla mation in Chinese, issued by her Majssty's Pienipo tentiery on the sth of July, and also a circular to her Majesty's subjects in China, under date the 24th of July, are published for general information. A. It. JOHNSTON, Deputy Superintendent, Charged with the Government of Hong-Kong. Government House, Hong-Kong, Sept. 9. " Pottinger, her Britannic Majesty's Plenipoten s tiary, &c., makes this clear exposition for the infor mation of all the people of the country. "Under the canopy of Heaven, and witlin the cir cumference of eai th, many are the different countries ; of the multitude of these not one is there that is not ruled by the supreme Heavenly Father, nor are there any that are not brethren of one family. Being then of one family, very plain is it that they should hold friendly and brotherly intercourse together, and not boast themselves one above another. But England, coming from the utmost west, has held intercourse with China, in this utmost east, for more than two centuries past; and during this time the English have suffered ill-treatment from the Chinese officers, who, regarding themselves as powerful and us as weak, have thus dared to commit injustice. The English, unwil ling to enter into contest with them, had borne such treatment for many years, till, in the year 1839, the Emperor of China, having determined to prohibit ef fectually the importation of opium, sent a special com missioner, Lin Tsesen, to conduct the arrangements for that purpose ; and that officer, finding himself unable to soiae _the actual. 'enders eaels nation, in place= of consulting and concerting measures with the several national officers residing in China (as it was his pro per duty to have done), had the audacity forcibly to confine in Canton the English officer and people, at the same time threatening them with death. His ob ject was, by extorting from • them what opium there that year might he in China, to gain favour with his Emperor; and the English officer at Canton, seeing this position of things, commanded the English me:- chants, in the name of their Sovereign, that they should deliver up, for the ransom of themselves from this position of extreme danger, whatever opium they might have in the Chinese waters. Here is one great offence committed by the Chinese officers against the English. " The Sovereign of Great Britain, in consequence of this and numerous subsequent acts of injustice, ap pointed as her envoys, the Admiral Elliot, and Elliot, the Superintendent at Canton, to whom jointly full powers were given for the settlement of affairs with China. And having in consideration the many past acts of injustice of the Chinese officers, her Majesty directed the Admiral to take command of a com bined naval and land force, and to quarter it at one of the islands on the Chinese coast; her in structions being, that •if the Chinese Government were willing to admit its errors and afford re dress, a peaceful arrangement of affairs should be con cluded ; but otherwise, if justice and recompense were refused, that the standard of justice should be raised and its claims enforced by war. The Admiral, &c., hereupon proceeded to the Peiho, and there presented a letter from the Minister of Great Britain, which the Minister and Governor Keshen transmitted for the consideration of all the Ministers to Pekm; after this Keshen wrote to the Admiral stating that affairs which concerned Canton, it was- difficult to arrange.so far off, and if the Admiral, &c., would proceed to Can ton, it would not need long to arrange affairs there. The high English officers, still desiring peace,' con sented to this, and proceeded to Canton ; there they met Keshen, and had frequent communications . with him, both written and personal. Arrangements were not yet concluded, when the Ministers at Pekin, men without truth or good faith, induced the Emperor to recal Keshen, and send instead a General Yihsliap; to fight and war with the English, so that thelEngs : lish were actually compelled by these proceedissio%tb take the Bocca Tigris, and the line of defencesssfrom thence upwards, and to bring Canton itself to• sub mission, and to take from it a ransom for the punish ment of such ill faith. In this ill faith of the Chinese Ministers, we have a second grand instance of offence against England. " The high commissioner, Yukien, and other high officers, generals, &c., in the several provinces, in re peated instances, when they have found our people cast by the weather on their coast, or induced by evil men on shore, have, being dead to all good and honest feeling, dared to put the captives thus brought into their hat& to a tyrannical and cruel death, and have deceitfully and falsely reported the cases to the Em peror, or published lying proclamations to the people, wherein they have invented tales of lengthened con test and seizures of vessels in battle with slaughter of many people. Thus falsely did Yukien declare last year the circumstances of the English occupation of Chusan—thus did the General Yishan pretend that he had destroyed many vessels ; the Governor Yen Petao, that he had, by force of arms, recovered Amoy; the Taotai, on Formosa, when shipwreck had cast men on that island, he had gained a victory over them in bat tle ; and the General Yihking, in May last, that he had destroyed many vessels and killed a multitude of men at Chusan, when not one vessel was injured, nor a single man killed. These multiplied false state ments, misleading the Emperor and people, and hin dering peaceful arrangements, are a third great cause of offence against the English. "With reference to trade, the English merchants used to carry their goods to many places, and buy from and sell to the people, wholly a benefit, and in no sense hurtful. But the officers at Canton, seeking to confine the profits to themselves, induced the Em peror, by false statements, to restrict trade to Canton alone, and permit 13 Hong merchants to conduct it, not even allowing intercourse with any but them, and the linguists appointed by the Government. Thus did these officers gain the power of meddling in every matter, extorting as they pleased, and disguising everything under false statements to the Emperor. This is a fourth great cause of offence. " There are besides many minor grievances that excite indignation and wrath, but that need not here be enumerated. " Because of these grievances the Plenipotentiary, &c., has been sent out by command of his Sovereign to demand redress and satisfaction. When these are obtained, peaceful arrangements may be made and the former friendliness of intercourse may be renewed. But until then, the high officers in command here of the combined naval and land forces will continue as commanded also by their Sovereign, to maintain the cause of justice, and to contend with all their power for the enforcement of such redress. When the Em peror shall appoint a high officer with full powers to negotiate and conclude arrangements on his own responsibility, and not till then, will hostile opera tions be stayed. "Now three , principal things are required for the redress and satisfaction above spoken—namely, com pensation for losses and expenses ; a friendly and be coming intercourse on terms of equality between offi cers of the two countries • and the cession of insular territory of commerce and for the residence of mer chants, and as a security and guarantee against future renewal of offensive acts. " If these three things be acceded to, there will be no difficulty in the settlement of any minor points. " That the people may know our objects, and not be misled by the false representation of their officers, to commit acts of hostility that would bring home to their own persons and families the horrors of war, the Plenipotentiary, &c., proclaims for general informa tion this clear exposition. " Dated in the Yang-tze-Keang, the sth day of July, in the year 1842. (Signed) " HENRY POTTINGER, Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary. (True Copy) " G. A. MALCOLM, Secretary of Legation." NAVIGATION OF THE YANG-TSZE-ICEANG. (From a Correspondent of the Bombay Times.) NANICING, AUG. 22. The city, from what we have seen of it, is by no means strong, having many weak points, for the walls though from 35 to 38 feet high in most places, are here and there only 15. The outer one is of great extent, and very old; as far as we can judge it must be 30 to 35 miles round, inclosing a great deal of open country; the inner one we do not know the extent of, being lost every here and there among the houses ; there is also a third enclosure in the centre of the second, which, I suppose, is the stronghold of the Tartars; both the outer and inner walls are com manded by hills close to them. A considerable por tion of our force are landed, and have taken up a position to the eastward of the city about four miles from the ships, the remainder of the force are afloat to form the column of attack on the side next the river should it be necessary, which I sincerely hope it may not. Old Elepoo is one of the Commissioners, though not the head one, who, I believe , i s some relation of the Emperor's. The Tartar General has also something to say in the settlement of affairs. We do not know the exact number of troops they have in the city, but I suspect their numbers have considerably decreased since our arrival, at least so say the country people. Nobody has yet been to the Porcelain Tower, but in a few days more we are to be allowed to go to see it ; it is situated outside the city, a little to the south of it. In the event of peace, we are to leave this in twelve days, picking up the money as we go along from the various towns. The sooner w are off the better. Four of our vessels have been more than five miles above this—l think it a pity that we should have lain here so long without ending a couple of the small steamers to explore sfurther up. The Chinese say that a moderate sized ship may go 300 miles above this, there being plenty of water, but a very strong current. There were one or two places be tween this and Chin-keang-foo, which we had some difficulty in getting through where the river was nar row, and the stream in consequence running like a sluice. The tide occasions a slight rise and fall here in the water, but no diminution of the current. The country all round is very beautiful, and the roads as far as we have seen of them some five or six miles round, are really very good. There is nat so much cultivation as there is to the southward, but the country is well wooded. Supplies are very scarce, and the Chinese as yet rather shy of us—but within the last two days boats have been plying about with vegetables and poultry, and a supply of bullccks was sent off by the Mandarins a short time ago. A portion of the, money to be paid is now ready here, which the Commissioners wish Sir Henry to re ceive, but he ha; refused to take any of it, until the Emperor sanctions their giving it. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel, having inherited from his Tory prototype, the " immortal Pitt," the desperate expedient of that most inquisitorial and oppressive of all modes of taxation—an Income-tax, will probably cling to it with the tenacity of Castlereagh, even after the necessity which was appealed to as its only justifica tion has ceased. The Income-tax of Pitt was a war tax. At the time of its imposition it was so described ; and its author, in the most explicit terms, declared in Parliament that no circumstance but a war, in which England was defending her very existence as a na tion could justify any . Minister in proposing such a means of revenue. The termination of the war was not productive of a disposition of the then Tory Go vernment to repeal the Income-tax. Another, and yet another, year of that prolific source of revenue, to furnish a profligate Ministry with means to supply the cormorants of corruption, was pleaded for. Lord Castlereagh's still-remembered ebullition of vexation against the people's " ignorant impatience of taxa tion," was uttered on the occasion of hosts of petitions being presented for the removal of that tax, in fulfil ment of the pledge given by the Minister that it should be taken off upon the return of peace. The " ignorant impatience" of the nation prevailed over the Government, which was defeated in 1816 in its attempt to continue the obnoxious tax. Well do we remember the demonstrations of general joy on receipt of the intelligence, which was expressed to the most distant parts of the kingdom. The ringing of the church bells, and the blazing of bonfires lit on the most elevated spots, manifested the public feeling. It seemed as though an incubus had been removed from the national energies—a fiscal inquisition and instrument of public torture broken up by the force of public opinion acting upon the Legislature. In his financial statement made to the House of Commons on March II last, Sir Robert Peel, like Mr. Pitt, rested his defence for proposing an Income-tax on the dire necessity which compelled him to meet the deficiencies in the national revenue, and the pro spective expenses of the India and China wars, by this extraordinary and, except absolutely necessary, mde 1. feasible .expedient. The peroration of that oratorical isOtiie t :consists of a high-flown panegyric upon the pattiotism shown by our fathers in submitting to the tax when proposed by Mr. Pitt, in 1798, "when the prospects of the country were most gloomy;" and an exhortation to the present genera tion to show themselves worthy of their fa thers, by submitting to an Income-tax to meet the deficiencies, and provide for an anticipated in creased expenditure, now. We have again and again showed the utter absurdity of comparison be tween the circumstances of the country in the former and in the present periods of its history. Admitting that Mr. Pitt was justified in having re course to such a mode of raising an immense revenue, every argument he employed condemns the uncalled for imitation of the course he pursued. If there was really no necessity for this bold experiment upon the endurance of Englishmen, then is Sir R. Peel con • demned for having made it. The termination of the wars in China and Affghanistan, and the four millions and a half to be paid by the former, plainly prove that the infliction of the tax, and the annoyances which accompany its collection, were gratuitous. We shall return to this subject. STANDARD.—The Leaguers say that they have collected 4,0001. This they may easily pretend When they have, by their own confession, already in hand 85,0001., at least, of which they can render no account. On looking to the proceedings of the League meeting, at which the sum of 4,0001. is said to have been subscribed, it will be seen that the subscri bers are the , principal managers of the League, who affect to contribute—one his 2001., another his 1001., a third his 501. Now it is the easiest thing in the world for these gentlemen, who have 85,000/. in a bag, if they have not privately appro priated it, or applied it to the use of the late insurrec tion, which it would be uncharitable to suppose—it would be the easiest thing in the world, we say, for these worthy persons, having 85,0001. of the former subscription in a bag—it may be under the table — to put their hands into that bag, and take out very munificent subscriptions, which would not cost themselves a farthing, but would serve admir ably the uses of the " decoy duck." It is strange, and not a little suspicious, that not one word has been whispered about the missing 85,0001., though many weeks have passed since we humbly suggested that some account of that large sum ought to be rendered. We know that our mudest inquiry has reached some of the great men of the League, for the king of the conspiracy denounced our interrogatory in the public rooms of Manchester as a "cursed Tory lie of the Standard." Now, if there be a lie in the case, it is not the lie of the Standard, hut the lie of the League, and more par ticularly the lie of theindividual, who made the un civil imputation upon us ?—the League ; and they and lie sly that they have received 100,000 i. already, and that their funds are exhausted, while they can show only so much value given as at the most extravagant rate would not amount to 15,0001. How, then, do we lie in saying that the matvtgers of the League ought to have in hand 85,000/. ? And why do they limit their contradic tions to such viva voce generalities as cannot be regularly reported, and could mean nothing if they were reported ? We think that we are putting the most favourable construction upon their conduct in saying that they are using the 85,000/. as a flight of decoy ducks, or it may be as making a parade of greater affluence and liberality than they can honestly boast—just as we sometimes see half a dozen men re present an army, by marches before and counter marches behind the scenes of a theatre. If the Leaguers, whose reputation is rather rank as it is would not be thought worse of even than they are they will publish an account—an account—an ac count. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The mystery which prevailed yesterday concerning Mexican stock is not yet cleared up to the satisfaction of the parties concerned. The agents had, it appears, from time to time been asked so many questions as to the amount of stock, that they declined answering any more; and the last inquirer having failed in obtaining the answer he desired, he made the question an affair of the Stock Exchange Committee, who wrote to Messrs. Lizardi, requesting to know the amount of Mexican stock which they had issued. The reply of the agents was sent to-day, and was to the effect, that they knew of no precedent for an agent of a foreign Government answering such inquiries with out the authority of the Government which he repre sented. They added, moreover, that the conversion being yet incomplete, an answer could not as yet be given as to the amount of stock issued, but that when it was finished they had no doubt the Mexican Go vernment would authorise its publication. The Committee of the Stock Exchange, under these circumstances, intend to push their inpiries further. The public securities maintain their former buoy ancy. India Stock has advanced to 264 to 266, and ln the arrangement - occupied Bank Stock is 170 to 172. Consols for Money and the Account closed 94,1 sellers. of the settlement, which to-day .... the attraction of the brokers, Avery fac i l i ty p rincl p all y ob tained in the abundance and cheapness of money. The ery was Stock is taken at about improvement in the value of A very curious statistical return has just been fur nished by Mr. E. Deas Thomson, Colonir I Secretary, relative to our Australian colonies, exhibi Ling the pro gress they have made within the last ten rears which is in many respects very remarkable. For in stance, the total value of imports into New South Wales, including the district of Port - Philip, was 604,6201. in 1832, and 2,527,9881. in 1841 ; the value of the exports was respectively at the same periods 384,3441. and 1,023,3971. These returns show the re markable fact of a gradual increase of trade l'tp to the year 1840, at which point it abruptly ceases ; t he next year showing a considerable decrease. In the r, (turns which regard the district of Port Philip separately, however, the same decrease is not observable in the exports. The amount for which this place figures in the total above stated for 1841 is, for imports, 3;35,2521. and 139,1551. for exports. The Wall value of the imports of grain into the colony„ including Port Philip, was in 1832, 13,3651-, and in 1841, 201,632/. ; the returns in this parti cular show the same decrease which affected the: whole trade in 1841, the article flour and bread. forming the sole exception, and, on the contrart, showing a considerable increase. The return of land in cultivation throughout the whole colony, at the close of 1841, shows the principal produce to be wheat and maize, of which the number of acres is respectively 58,605 and 25,004, producing 832,776 bushels of the one, and 503,803 of the other. The number of ships built and registered in the colony was 21 in 1832, the total tonnage being 2,143 ; and in 1841 the number was 110, the tonnage being 11,250_ The revenue from the sale of Crown lands in the colony was, in 1832, 12,5091. 13s. 10d. ; in. 1840 it was 316,6261. 7s. 5d., having gradually increased every year tilt then, and in 1841 it fell to 90,387/. Among the miscellaneous news from Egypt as col lected from private letters, it is stated that the mor tality among the cattle continued, and was supposed to rave destroyed 150,000, from which cause, and the slow rate at which the Nile was subsiding, the labours of agriculture were almost suspended... The importa tion of mares islieing carried on with great activity, to augment the breed of horses for the purposes of agriculture. Four Egyptian frigates have been de voted to this service, two of which have lately returned from Silesia with a cargo of 370. • - CHRONICLE.—The private' letters from the fast Were delivered to-day, iuid= we cannot avoid calling attention to tho important announcement con tained in the • supplement to the Canton. Gazette, re ceived in one of them, that an officer of high rank from the Court of Pekin is immediately to set out to represent his Sovereign at the Court of St. James's. The presence of the Chinese Ambassador at the first drawing-room next season would, indeed, create a sensation ! The same authority repeats that consular officers are to be established at the ports of Canton, Amoy, Fow-choo-foo, Ningpo, and Shanghae, which are to be thrown open to British merchants, and that a regular and just tariff of imports and exports, as well as of transit duties, is to be established and published. Our Canton Contemporary adds, " We do not see that any time has been stipulated for the ratification by the Emperor of China ;" but is of opinion that the presence of the British force commandiug the city of Nankin cannot fail to impress his Imperial Majesty with the necessity of expedition. Chu.:,an and Kolongsoo are looked upon as a sufficient guarantee for the fulfilmeht of the treaty ; and Hong-Kong remaining a British settle ment, will always be able to muster a naval force sufficiently strong to keep the Celestial Government in due subjection. No doubt is entertained in com mercial circles of the due ratification of the treaty. The great anxiety is how to turn it to the best advan tage. The chief difficulty at first will be to select the proper description of goods for the Chinese market. At present they are consumers of our cotton twists and coarse long cloth!,; but when the trade is estab lished on a free and proper footing the demand for ar ticles of the highest quality of manufacture and em ploying the greatest amount of labour will be exten sive. Merchants should be cautious, however, and not rush headlong into stock without some means for guiding them in the selection. Hong-Kong should be declared a free port, or at least open to the ships of all European countries, at very low duties, so as to make it the general entrepot for goods intended for the China market. If that course be adopted the value of property in the island will become immense, and it will rise into a source of great value to the British Crown, covered with warehouses, and its harbour the rendezvous of the ships of every country possessing a mercantile marine. Cargoes will be discharged at Hong-Kong, and thence transported by steam-ships to the various ports, according to the demand. LOSS OF THE RELIANCE. The following is a correct list of the passengers and crew who perished in the Reliance, with the names of those who left the vessel in China, as well as of some who shipped in that country : Thomas Green, commander ; J.

Henry Kutingham, seaman, died in Macao • John Weide, seaman, died three or four days before the wreck. William Marsh, fifth mate ; Peter Fi s h er baker ; William M`Gowan, Captain's servant ; D av id Fraser, boatswain's mate, were left in Bombay ; and James Hardy, seaman, in China. The names of the survivors, which have been al ready given, though somewhat incorrectly, are— Robert Dixon, carpenter; William O'Neill, seaman ; John Anderson, a native of Norway, seaman ; Charles Barz, a Prussian, seaman ; and three Manilla men. The Reliance left Gravesend on the 15th of June, 1841, having on board 70 Englishmen and. 60 Lascars. The China men and Manila men above alluded to supplied the place of the Lascars on the homeward voyage. It as been mentioned that one of the mates pro mised the crew just before the vessel struck that they should be in the Downs in the morning, and on the afternoon of the 10th, about 36 hours before the wreck, so fully did the Captain expect to be shortly in the river, that the royal yards were sent down, and every preparation made for running up to Gravesend. The British Consul (Mr. W. Hamilton), whose prompt assistance to the sufferers, and kind and un wearied attention to their wants, have given much satisfaction to the English at Boulogne, has offered a reward for the recovery of the bodies of Captain Tucker and Mr. John Green, third mate. The burial of those whose bodies have been recovered took pl ace hasbegood lost property, n in the cemetery of Boulogne , and was conducted in a manner that reflected much credit on the Consul, under whose directions the arrangements were made.

The commander represented this to Captain Tucker, but the latter continued to press his wish to take a pas sage in her, till assured that it was impossible to make room for him. A slight inaccuracy has been made in a previous account as to the age of the un fortunate commander. He was said to be upwards of 60, whereas he was scarcely 50.

LORD AIELBOITENE.—The Noble Viscount, accord ing to accounts received in South-street from Brocket Hall, has nearly recovered from the effects of his severe indisposition ; and when the weather is favour able his Lordship is able to take carriage drives. Lord and Lady Beauvale are the only visitors at Brocket, and will remain there until after Christmas, when they are expected to return to town with the Noble ex-Premidr for the season.
