All the advantages peculiar to mutual Lite Assurance, aris ing from a division amongst the assured of the whole of the mutual Profits, and that security and freedom from responsibi lity which Proprietary Companies can alone afford, are com bined by the constitution of the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Life Assurance Company, which is the only guaranteed Mutual Society. The rates of premium are somewhat. lower than in most of the mutual offices, and for the non-participating, and for those who effect assurances for temporary purposes, or debtor and creditor transactions, Tables of Premium have been prepared, by which a less immediate payment is required than by any other plan. By a half premium credit system one-half of the premium• may be retained for the first seven years, and repaid at Coe con venience of the assured : and by the Ascending Scale a greatly diminished rate of premium is required for the first twelve years.

PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION, Showing the many valuable advantages enjoyed by parties connected with the SCOTTISH (WIDOWS' FUND) LIFE ASSURANCE. Especially to that Important Class of Assurances effected as FAMILY PROVISIONS. A, in January, 1820, being then 38 years of age, insured his life for 3,000/. paying an annual Premium of £93 is. 6d. He is now 60 years of age, and has an actual vested Bonus or Addition, declared and attached to his Policy of £1,035 125., which, with the 3,0001., the original sum assured, shows the full amount of the sum presently contained in the Policy to be £4,035 12s. He may if desirous receive an Advance or Loan, on the secu rity of his Policy, (the only expense being the stamp for the Promissory Note), to the amount of ...... ..£1,440. Were A to die after Payment of his premium for the current year, the sum payable under the Policy would be £4,358 9s. Were he to die, in 1845, after payment of his premium for that year,the sum payable under the Policy wouldbe£4,6oo 11s. 641. Or if it were an object to him to reduce his present annual contribution, he ms,lht, by giving up his Bonus, reduce his future premiums from 93/. 7s. 6d. to • £22 9s. 6d. Or if he preferred receiving immediately the present value of his Bonus, he would, by surrendering it, be entitled to a sum of From the above it will be observed, that a policy steadily kept up during a prolonged life, will not only at death prove a very valuable inheritance indeed, but may also during the life time of the party, be useful, especially to those engaged in mer cantile pursuits, and be made available to the most valuable purposes.

COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH TILE BRAZILS.—We have reason to believe that the leading provisions of a new commercial treaty with the Brazils have been arranged ; and that there is. now! no serious diffi culty •in the - • way • -of a - satisfactory arrange ment of all the points in dispute. It is stated, that the duty proposed to be levied on Brazilian 'sugar is . 308. per. cwt.; whilst that on the produce of the British plantations, and the East Indies, is to be reduced to 165.! the present duties being, as most of our readers are no doubt aware, 635. and 245. We imagine that this change, if car ried into effect, will prove highly satisfactory, and will very considerably reduce the price of sugar to the consumer. There is another point of view in which a treaty, admitting the sugar of Brazil to consumption in this country, is very important at the present time— namely, its probable effect upon the Spanish Govern ment, with which negotiations for a commercial treaty are now proceeding. The sugar planters of the island of Cuba are now in a state of great dis tress and difficulty, from the want of an adequate demand for their produce ; and they have long had their eyes fixed upon the English market, as the only one from which any material relief could be expected. If the sugar of Brazil should be admitted into, and theirs continue to be excluded from, this country, they will raise a loud clamour for such a treaty between Spain and England as will secure for them the privilege which they so earnestly desire; and, with their assistance, the Government will most probably be able to overcome the opposi tion of the Catalan manufacturers, which, at present, prevents the conclusion of a commercial treaty. — Manchester Guardian.

A WIFE KILLED BY HER HUSBAND.—OD Sunday last, a tragical event took place at North Gullum Farm, in the parish of North Owersby, near Market Rasen, Lincolnshire. A labourer, of the name of Britcliffe, had some angry words with his wife, when in a moment of passion he first beat her with a leath ern belt, and then brutally kicked her on the lower part of the body. The unfortunate woman, who was far advanced in pregnancy, survived this ill-treatment but a few hours. An inquest was held on the de ceased on Monday last, before Mr. Morris, the Coroner, and on a post mortent examination of the body by Mr. Smith and Mr. Hutchinson, of Caistor, surgeons, and after a long and patient investigation, the jury re turned a verdict of " Manslaughter ;" and Britcliffe has been committed to the Castle under the Coroner's warrant for trial at the next assizes.

HOWARD V. GOSSETT, AND OTHERS. This was an action of trespass hi-might / by the plaintiff, who had acted as the legal adviser of the well-known Mr. John Joseph Stockdale, in his va rious actions against Messrs. Hansard, printers of the House of Commons, and who, in consequence of the part he had taken on that occasion, had been impri soned by the House of Commons, against Captain Gossett, the defendant, Sergeantsat-Arms, and his officers, for their conduct in searcidng hii house, under the Speaker's warrant Mr. Platt, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Crumpton, and Mr. Pe tersdorff appeared for the plaintiff; and the Attorney- General, the Solicitor-General, and Mr. Pollock for the defendants. Mr. PETERSDORFF having opened the pleadings, Mr. PLATT addressed the Jury for the pliantiff, and went through the whole history of the case of Stockdale, and the House of Commons, with which the public is already acquainted, during the course of which he commented upon the assumption of the House of Commons to commit, in cases of pri vilege, which he said might be used by a rabid House of Commons, even for the purposes of personal torture. The Learned Gentleman having detailed the cir cumstances attending on the arrest of the Sheriffs, consequent upon their refusal to comply with the orders of the House, proceeded to state that the House of Commons had directed Mr. Howard to be arrested, whereupon the defendant had gone to his residence, had searched it—had ran sacked every part of it—had annoyed his family, al though they knew he was not there ; had kept pos session of it for four hours. On the 4th of February Mr. Howard appeared, as he had promised to do, at the bar of the House of Commons, and was committed to Newgate, where he languished from the 6th of February to the 14th of May. The House of Com mons having become alarmed, finding the law too strong for them, passed an ex post facto law for their own protection. The Learned Gentleman was pro ceeding to comment on the Act in question, when he was interrupted by The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who appealed to the Court as. to whether the Learned Counsel had any right to allude to an Act of the Legislature which had nothing to do with the present action. Lord DENMAN said the present action had been brought against defendant for having exceeded the power of the warrant. He wished to know from Mr. Platt how he connected that Act with the present cause. Mr. PLATT said he had a right to allude to it in order to show what the state of the law had been at the time the offence had been committed. Learned Counsel was then proceeding to comment on what had taken place before the House of Lords on the occasion of the passing of the Bill in question, when Lord DENMAN interrupted him. He had certainly no right to allude in his opening speech to that which it was impossible for him to give in evidence. v B a r d i decision.etids .h s u T b ri i had been in vaded. i s d e L o a r d great Mr. PLATT would bow at oncetoto,d eeeyct wl,hreo appealedse called tdo upon pr J , og u n. r h y o t to do justice to a constitutional question. They themselves might be placed in a similar situation with Mr. Howard, for there was no knowing to what extent a tyrannical House of Commons might push the doctrine of privi lege. He called upon the Jury to vindicate the inljesty of the law by giving Mr. Howard ample damages. The Learned Gentlemen then called the following witnesses : Mr. T. J. G. Pearce examined by Mr. KELLY—In the year 1840 I was a clerk in the employ of plaintiff. Plaintiff was an attorney. I knew he had been the attorney in several actions which had been brought against Mr. Hansard. Plaintiff, in February, 1840, lived at 7, Norfolk-street, Strand. His family consisted of his wife, son, and daughter. I was at his house, on the evening of the . 4th of February, 1840. At about a quarter before seven some one came to the door as I was going out with Mr. Howard, jun. The defendants Stein and Bellamy came to the door. They said they had a warrant from the Speaker of the House of Commons to search the house for Mr. Howard. I asked to see their warrant, and upon their showing me the warrant I went up to inform Mrs. Howard that two of the officers of the House of Com mons were come to search for Mr. Howard. The officers were allowed to go over the house immediately. Plaintiff was not at home at that time. I accom panied one of the officers with a light. It was Bel lamy. - We wenfrup stairs to the top of the house. He went into the various rooms. They went into every room of the house. There were cupboards in some of --tbe -rooms. V They opened the cupboard-doors. They went into the cellars also. Among other places Bellamy went into the drawing-room. There were five ladies there. Mrs. HOvvard, and her daughter, and three visitors. Mrs. Howard bid' been ill some months before that. Bellamy apologized for coming in. He said it was his duty to search. Mrs. Howard said Mr. Howard was not in the house. Bellamy looked under the sofa, altd into the chiffonier. The chiffonier is a large one with folding-doors. We were a very short time in the drawing-room. When he had completed the search he came down stairs into the passage. I took him down into the kitchens and cel lars. He then went into the small yard. Bellamy said he was satisfied Mr. Howard was not there. I showed Bellamy into Mr. Howard's private office, and he afterwards came into the front office. He said to Mr. Howard, jun., he was satisfied that his father was not in the hottse, but that they had orders to remain until his return. Young Mr. Howard said that if they re mained, his father not being there, they would be com mitting a trespass. They said they had orders to re main until he did come home, if it was for some days. Lord DENMAN—Did they say days ? Witness—They had orders to remain until Mr. Howard did come. Something was said about days or a week, but I do not recollect. They were in the front office. I left about eight. More of the other defendants had then come in. I was away about three hours and a half. Mrs. Howard had requested me to come back. I did not perceive that she was particularly alarmed. She desired me to come back to sit up with the officers, as it was likely they would stay all night. On my return, I saw defendants Stein and Mitchell. I went into the office, and remained with them about half an hour. Mr. Bellamy came back again in the course of the night. I do not re collect who came back with him, but there was a fourth came in with him. Young Mr. Howard came in, accompanied by the son of Mr. Curwood, the bar rister. Mr. Howard, jun., stated he had consulted Mr. Curwood, who said they had no right to be there, and he could turn them out if he liked, They did not go away. Somebody came in a cab at about twenty minutes past one. The person said he wanted to speak to Mr. Bellamy, and. Bellamy went out. Bellamy returned, and said they had orders to with draw, and they did withdraw at twenty minutes past one. They had had something to eat and drink during the evening. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY -GENERAL--I had been clerk to Mr. Howard about two years. I had been in the army. I did not know where Mr. Howard was at that time. There had been inquiries made after him before. He was keeping out of the way, no doubt. He had not been in the house for a long time before. I conducted Stein and Bellamy into every room in the house. There was no breaking of any doors or locks. Everything was done on both sides in a very civil manner. Mr. Howard, jun., entertained them to supper. They did not insist on having that. 1 studiously took them into every room in the house. Bellamy saw the door leading to the leads, and asked to go there. I took him to places which he had not sugg ested. I pointed out every place where a person could be concealed, well knowing Mr. Howard was in none of them. From the beginning to the end there was nothing like incivility or ill feeling on either side. There were four or five actions brought by Mr. Stockdale against Mr. Han sard. Mr. Stockdale was a printer and publisher. There was 1001. damages in the secend action. I do not think I was with Mr. Howard in _th6 first action. Mrs. Gillendo, examined by Mr. PETERSDORFF—I was sitting with Mrs. Howard on the 4th February, in the evening. She had been ill. Pearce came in by himself to Mrs. Howard, and afterwards returned, accompanied by a messenger of the House of Com mons, who said he had come to search for Mr. Howard. He searched the room. Mrs. Howard told him that Mr. Howard was not in the house. She did not say anything about searching the house. Mrs. Howard appeared to be very much agitated. I remained there all night. By the COURT—Mrs. Howard went to bed. I slept in the house. Mr. Howard, jun.—l am plaintiff's son. In 1840 I was his clerk. I was in his house on the evening of the 4th of February. I remember Stein and Bellamy coming to the door. Bellamy had a chain round his neck. Pearse and I were going out, and they came in. He asked me if my father was at 1 home ? I told him no, and then they searched the . house. While Bellamy was up stairs Stein remained in the office with me. I told him he ought to be ashamed of himself, that my mother was very ill, and it would make her.. worse. When Bellamy came down I said, "Well, have you f oun d hi m ?"He said "No.!" I said, " Well then, you can go," and he re plied, " Oh, no ; we must remain here retnrns, if it is ever so long." I had a letter from my father about seven o'clock. It was known persons had been imprisoned by the House of Commons on these matters. He had some business he was obliged personally to attend to. I communicated the contents of the letter to the defendant. It was as follows: "My dear Son—l have nearly completed the busi ness I had to do. I shall return to-morrow (Thurs day) morning, and shall attend the House, as I per ceive from the papers that I am wanted. If any one should come from the House show them this." They received the letter and returned it. Captain Gossett was seen after in a cab with Mitchell. Cap tain Gossett asked if Bellamy had received the war rant ; he said he had not. Captain Gossett said " you had better read it, and then you will be authorised." Bellamy did read it, and that was the first time I had seen the warrant. By Bellamy's desire I showed Captain Gossett the letter. He read it, and said to the defendants, Stein and Mitchell, " Oh, you must remain ;" and he returned me the letter. He went away, taking Bellamy with him. I went to Mr. Curwood's, and returned with his son, at about half-past 11. I found Mitchell and Stein in possession. Pearce had at that time returned. I told them that Mr. Curwood said that they were com mitting a trespass, and that we might kick them out if we chose ; and said that if we had sufficient force, we would do so. I went to seek assistance from the police to get them out, but they would not interfere. I returned, and said, " It appears you will remain, and although you are committing a trespass, we must treat you like gentlemen." I gave them some sup per. I was going to bed, when some one came and fetched them away. I do not know who it was, but think it ryas Stein. The other defendant, Lind, was there, but I do not know when he came. I do not know much about him. William Cull—l know Norfolk-street ; it is in the parish of St. Clement Danes. I am an officer of that parish. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the defence, said that he admitted at once that the verdict must go against the defendants, because, having searched the house, and found that Mr. Howard was not there, they had no authority whatever, under the warrant, by the authority of which they claimed to act, to remain there so long as they did, and therefore were so far trespassers. They had exceeded their autho rity, and the verdict must go against them. But he was anxious that the Jury should not be misled by his Learned Friend's speech, into imagining that they were trying a great constitutional question. Mr. Howard had no intention of setting the House of Commons at defiance by this action. He had no in tention of becoming a modern Hampden ; he came not before them as a martyr and a victim. If he had in tended to raise the constitutional question, he would have demurred to the plea, which stated that the de fendants were acting under a warrant issued by the speaker of the House of Commons. Instead of that he denied the existence of any such warrant, thus giving the go-bye to the whole question. But it mattered not whether the warrant had been issued by the Speaker or not. The parties had acted irregu larly in the execution of the warrant, and, therefore, the warrant was no protection to them whatever, but if Mr. Howard had intended to raise the constitu tional question he would have demurred to that plea instead of denying the fact that such a warrant ex isted. On the first count of the declaration, which stated that the defendants had broken locks and bars,and made a forcible entry into the premises he apprehended the verdict must be for the defendant, as it was proved that there were no locks or bars broken. On the second count of trespass he admitted that there must be a verdict for the plaintiff, but he could not permit his Learned Friend's opening address to pass unno ticed. The House of Commons, which his Learned Friend had,attacked, was dead, and he might as safely attack that as kick a dead lion. He did not mean to say that his Learned Friend would not have exhibited the same fearlessness at the bar of the House of Com mons.aa be had violence in that Court, but his exhi bition of 'that morning had been perfectly safe. He could not, however, but regret that his Learned Friend had not been a Member of that House to instruct it by his learning, enlighten it by his wisdom, and adorn it by his presence. But Mr. Howard could not take advantage of the idea which his Learned Friend had attempted to impress on the Jury, that they were deciding a great constitutional question. So far from that Mr. Howard had attended to the authority of the House, as was proved by the letter which had been put in in evidence. Mr. Howard did not pretend that he was the champion of a great cause, the victim of oppression. No ! He expressed his intention to attend the House, because he found he had been sent for. But he stated that their officers had been guilty of irregularity and excess in the execution of the warrant. And what did the House of Commons do ? Did they set the law at defiance ? No ! They sent their officers there to plead. They said if you have been guilty of excess we cannot protect you. Go into the Court, and make the best defence you can. They were no more trying the great constitutional questions which had been attempted to be raised by his Learned Friend than they were trying the question as to whether they should take possession of the great empire of China. The question which his Learned Friend had attempted to swell out into spurious im portance was simply this—to what damages was Mr. Howard entitled for these officers sitting quietly in his house after they had searched it. They thought they had a right to stay. They were told they were trespassers. They sat to take advice on the subject, they found they were wrong, and they withdrew. So far from being a defiance of the law, it was a direct obedience to it. They were not called upon by their ver dict to express their opinion on any but on the ex tent of the injury Mr. Howard had received from the excess these officers had committed by remaining in his house after they found that he was not there. Lord DENMAN, in summing up, said that a great many questions had been raised by the Learned Coun sel, with which neither the Court nor the Jury had anything to do, inasmuch as they were not raised upon the record. All they had to do was to consider the question really at issue, and to that, and that only, he should address his observations. This was an action of trespass brought by Thomas Burton Howard, an attorney, residing in Norfolk street, Strand, against the five defendants, Captain Gossett, Stein, Mitchell, Bellamy, and Lind, for breaking . and entering his dwelling-house, making a great noise and disturbance therein, and breaking open certain locks and doors. That was the first count of the declaration. The defendants pleaded as to the breaking the locks and doors not guilty, and as to the entering the house, they justified that; they had done so under the authority of a warrant issued by the Speaker of the House of Commons, in accordance with a resolution of the House. To that the plaintiff replied that no such warrant had been issued, therefore the question as to the right of the Speaker to issue that warrant was not at all raised by the pleadings. The second count charged the defendants with again breaking and entering the defendant's dwelling-house, remaining there a considerable time, and creating a great noise and disturbance therein. To that the de fendants pleaded that they had acted by virtue of a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Commons, which he had been required, by a resolution of the House of Commons, to issue for the apprehension of the defendant for a contempt of the privileges of that Hon. House, of which it was alleged that he had been gu i lty. N ow it had beer admitted that what they had done in remaining in the house after they had as certained that Mr. Howard was not there was not jus tified in point of law, and they remained there in their own wrong, the warrant would not justify them in so doing, and as they were acting unlawfully in staying beyond a reasonable time, the law assumed that they were trespassers ab initio. They must, therefore, throughout the whole of these proceedings be regarded as trespassers. They were to estimate the amount of damages which they ought to award to plaintiff for these parties entering his house during his absence, and disturbing his family, and to a certain extent in terrupting his business by remaining there. On the other hand, they should recollect that it appeared that these parties did not seem to be actuated by anything like malice, but had entered the house in what they conceived to be the execution of their duty, and that they had conducted themselves with civility during tha time they remained there. In fact they seemed to be in a position very like that of a Sheriff's-officer, who, having a perfectly legal writ for the arrest of one her Majesty's subjects, went beyond what the law would authorise in the execution of that writ, and therefore had been guilty of a trespass. But, on the other hand, they must not confine their attention merely to the amount of pecuniary damage which the defendant had sustained ; they must also consider the incon venience. he had suffered, and the annoyance to him self and his family. It was requisite that those to whom the law entrusted great power should accurately ascertain the limits of their authority, and take great care not to exceed it. They had already heard the evidence, which had been very fairly given, and. to, which they paid the fullest attention ; it was for them to say what damage the plaintiff had sustained by the, ,clefenclants_remainin,g illegally in the possession of his house, for the time stated by the witnesses, and thus exceeding the power which the House of Commons had placed in their hands. The Jury retired, and, after an absence of ten minutes, returned into Court, with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001. The damages were laid at 10,0001. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 5. LIBEL.-SIMON V. BALDWIN. The plaintiff is a merchant and landowner in the island of Jersey, and brother of the French Consul there. The defendant is the proprietor of the Standard newspaper ; and the present action is brought to re cover damages for injury done to his character by an imputation of fraudulent practices in the corn trade between Jersey and Great Britain. The alleged libel was contained in a letter signed " A Loyalist," and published in the Standard of the 14th March last, in which the writer affirmed that the plaintiff was in the habit of importing Prussian and French corn into the Channel islands as if for consumption there, under which pretence it was imported duty free ; and that he exported the same corn to England, where it was again admitted duty free as Jersey corn. A witness, M. Gragneau, from Jersey, was exa mined to show that the arrangements respecting the trade in corn to and from Jersey were so strict that the fraud alleged could not be committed. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages2oo/. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec. 5.1 IN RE THE HON. GEORGE WILLIAM LOFTUS, COM- MONLY CALLED LORD GEORGE LOFTUS. In this case the insolvent was son of the Marquis of Ely. He appeared on his petition to be discharged from an immense amount oftdebts, the greater portion of which were contracted upon accommodation bills, far which it was alleged he had received no considera tion, his Lordship having largely patronised the " kite flying" system. A great many creditors en tered opposition, but upon the Registrar calling out the name of Lord George Loftus, and inquiring if any of them appeared in opposition, no answer was returned. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said, upon looking over the insolvent's schedule he perceived a great number of the persons who had lodged detainers against him had been paid their demands. Lord George Loftus replied that such was the case. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS—Are you a married or single man ? Lord George Loftus—l am single. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS,—Have you any pro pert, in your possession now ? Lord George Loftus —IN one, except the few articles of clothing which are at the prison, and which I believe are termed the excepted articles. There were several boxes, and a quan tity of jewellery left by him at the Hotel de l'Europe, at Brussels, in 1840, when he went last on the Conti nent, and the hotel-keeper had charge of them for a time. He was not indebted to the person, who had since removed to the Hague, and he (Lord G. Loftus) had been unable to trace him since • consequently the property could not be made available to his creditors. He had been now eleven months in prison. Mr. CooKE, who appeared on behalf of the insolvent, said there was an immense number of creditors upon bills of exchange, for which no value had been given, and the Marquis of Ely, a short time ago, paid 13,2001. to those who might have been considered as bona fide creditors of his son. Ilis Lordship, after some further discussion, was declared entitled to be discharged as an insolvent debtor, after he had amended his schedule by dis closing the nature of the property which he stated to have been taken to the Hague, the Court at the same time declaring that its appropriation at present was out of their jurisdiction. SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. The show of prize cattle for the present year pro mises to exceed, both in number and quality, that of any preceding exhibition.

TATITRSALL'S.-YESTERDO.. Several of the Derby favourites were backed, but three only with any spirit, viz., A British Yeoman, Winesour, and Newcourt, and against these the odds will be found to tally with those quoted last week ; in fact, the only movement of any consequence was in Aristides, whose retreat was so unequivocal as to leave no hope whatever for his backers. Amongst other changes of minor inte rest, we may direct attention to an improvement in Amorino, and to a decline of several points in Parthian and Cotherstone. Nothing done on the Oaks.

We copy the following account of the death of the Rev. Mr. 11Iontgomery, Rector of Bishopston, from the Salisbury Herald :—On Thursday last, it appear s , he had gone with Lord Bruce to inspect a new ch urc h building at East Grafton, when the fatal accident oc curred. " During the preceding week," that paper states, " the eastern portion had been covered in with a stone vault, and the construction had been carefully examined by the architect, and by, persons con nected with the works, and they unanimously consi dered it to be perfectly secure —and this, too, but a very short time before the fatal occurrence which we have now the painful duty of recording. At half-past one o'clock, Mr. Montgomery, accompanied by Earl Bruce, the Rev. Mr. Ward, his nephew, Mr. Gabriel, Mr. Ferry, the architect, the Clerk of the Works, and the Contractor, entered to inspect the new church, from which the centres of the arches had beenremoved the same morning. They had not advanced many paces when a crack was heard, and the arch fell in to the extent of about eight feet of the whole width of the nave. The Rev. Mr. Ward es caped by springing into one of the side aisles, and Mr. Gabriel secured himself in the other; but Mr. Montgomery unhappily moved towards the centre, and was completely covered by the falling mass, and life was immediately extinct. Independently of fractures of the skull, both in the forehead and-at the base, there was a compound fracture of the left thigh, and ' the right arm was broken close to the elbow. The estimated weight of the stone which fell is three ton s . An inquest has been held on the body , and a verdict of ' Accidental death' returned."
