L)NDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1858. " We only regret the moderation which led ris to conclude the struggle as-soon as we had gained the exact amount of advantag e n ecessary for our obje c t, instead of protracting it until our superio ritY was not only obtained, but so notorious as to be incePable of misrepresentation !" Such are now the views of the Times in reference to de PreCiOUS Peace," and we gladly hail so powerful a coadjutor. Tbese were not the opinions enter tained when wA were reproved for placing our columns in mourning, and of all our London daily contemporaries the good and faithful Morning Advertiser alone advocated Cue principles we had fearlessly put forward through good report and evil report. Neither the Advertiser nor The Sun had been infected by Germanistn. We felt the enormous sacrifices that had beon:so cheerfully submitted to by the people, and we grieved that through any truckling or toadyism those sacrifices should be rendered fruitless. We pointed out that it was at best but a hollow truce, That would only be maintained so long as it was convenient t 0 do so, and until Russia could again throw away the scabbard, after having re cruited her losses at the expense of her quondam, adversaries, and contrived, by her insi dious conduct, to occasion lukewarmness, if not division, between her leading opponents. Feeling this, we were by no means mealy mouthed in giving expression to our thoughts, and speaking as became an English journal devoted to the honour and interests of Great Britain ; and it is but an act of simple justice to say that the Morning Advertiser pursued a steady and Atraightforward course in the same direction. We have seen no cause for tergiversation ; and we truly rejoice at finding so powerful a coadjutor as the Times at length awakened to Muscovite perfidy, Ind resolved to nail the English standard to the roast—to be neither bullied nor cajoled into play ing the Russian game. As w© long since stated, Russia never for a moment abandoned the traditional policy inaugu rated by the first PETER. At the moment of signing the Treaty she was as fully determined on Cossackising Europe as at any period during her turbulent career. Whether the object was to be )btained by fraud or force was a matter of pro found indifference—save that success by the compound of dissimulation aad insincerity, which she is pleased to dignify with the name of "Diplomacy," would, of the two, be the more tgreeable, and would also probably cost the less. As to the lives of the miserable serfs, who, by a fearful system of military political arithmetic, are used as counters in the tremendous game, they would be thought nothing of but for the pecu niary value assigned to each. A Russian soldier costs money as well as, although less in propor ion than, a French or English one—but no super fluous elements connected with humanity will be permitted to encumber the calculations. We have, from time to time, pointed out the dalpable bad faith of Russia—so far as the per 'ormance of the undertakings for which she had )ledged herself were concerned. We know that from the natural exhaustion that had necessarily l'ollowed her energetic attempts to carry on the var she had so wantonly provoked, she was com- Jelled to close with any terms that were offered. Unfortunately the Allied Powers acted on the principle of "saving the honour of Russia" rather than of obtaining efficient and satisfactory gua rantees for the peace and tranquillity of Europe. They released her on her owa recognisances trusting that she would have profited `)3T the painful but salutary lesson. The Russian Plenipotentiaries were, however, vise in their generation. They saw that " the heart'' of one of the Allies• was by no means in the War, and they fondly hoped that in pur ,uance of the suggestions of PETER, in his so-called will, they could weaken some of the links in the Alain by which the alliance was cemented. Time only can tell whether they were deceived in that r.:alculation. We regret to say that we do not 'eel justified in speaking very confidently on the: iubject ! It is scarcely possible to suppose that if qual cordiality existed that was believed during the earlier stages of the War, the defences of Kars would have been impaired, and those of Kilia-Ismail and Reni demolished, that the Isle of Serpents would have been seized on, or the despicable quibble respectng Bolgrad put forward. Indeed it is now more Aran hinted, and with much appearance of truth, hat many of these steps are not altogether .scribable to Muscovite inspiration, and that some parties holding official rank in France cannot be tixonerated from every imputation in reference thereto. The onslaught -on the English Press so wantonly adventured on by the Afoniteur nay be regarded as one of the preliminary sy.np oms of an intention to raise an argument. The tfoniteur must know as well as its master that the English Ministry is utterly powerless on such a point ; and that the freedom of the Press * or the rights of hospitality will never be surrendered by Great Britain. No matter what may be the cost ;hey will be defended to the last man and the last shilling, and woe to those who enter on the - eckless attempt to subvert either of these highly cherished institutions. Russia is now talking of sending ships of war through the Bosphorus to the Euxiue, and giving her Baltic fleet an airing. Specious pretexts will easily be discovered for either course, and it is by no means impossible that a aqua iron, which at one time manifested no rlesire to stir from beneath the shelter of the batteries of Cronstadt, may now be de tached professedly for the purpose of escorting the EMPRESS, and that they may find refuge in a French port, there to await the rapidly-approach ing crisis. It is said that we are fraternising with Austria—that a perfect understanding exists between the Cabinets of London and Vienna. This is the unkindest cut of all. We fear the friendship of Austria far more than the enmity of Russia or the lukewarmness of France. Save us from our so-called friends ! We can defend ourselves against every open opponent. The present state of affairs is of a peculiarly ominous character. There is a dark cloud lowering on the political horizon that mly, ere long, involve Europe in a sanguinary war, where neutrality will be impossible. 'We must prepare ourselves for that alternative, and the extent of that prepa ration will be the best, in fact the only efficient, preventive. The first step will be to check the continued drain of bullion, and take care that neither France, Russia, nor Austria shall feather their ne.its at our expense, and avail themselves of our unwise and iniquitous monetary code, to plunder us of the sinews of war, by means whereof we can only maintain our former prestige in th e hour of trial. " I coom Ira' . Yorkshire, I coo'd not ha' he lev'd it," said the Yorkshire captain the other day to Mr. SELFE; and, indeed, Mr. SELFE himself said, " It was strange, but true, that the captains and mates of ships plundered by loose women were generally Scotchmen or Yorkshireman, or from Newcastle-upon-Tyne ;" and well might the ma gistrate say so, for hardly had the Yorkshireman (lone his tale, when a Newcastle man told another pretty much like it. He had Wen kindly relieved, at Popl ar , o f twenty-eight sovereigns, by a young lady of nineteen, by whom he was adroiLly inveigled into a dark corner, and who, of course, handed the treasure to another lady, and could toll the magistrate with truth that she had got none of the money ; while he had no alternative but to discharge her, and let her go to where she might find it. The poor fellow who had " coom ft - a' Yorkshire " was not a whit more fortuni,te ; thirty sovereigns and twenty half - sovereicms, 401. of good hard-earned gold, had va,niAtn : t t Kettle and Drum, in Elatcliffe•hilhwAy, while he w as "larking with several women there, and, when he missedit, all the women had ilisaPpEared:' —most unaccountably the gold and the fair houris had disappeared, it seems, together. o ne of the larking damsels was brought up, but it seemed as impossible to identify the lady as to of the sovereigns she bad taker. i T d h e e n r t e ify ny sh a ewas, and some others of the Same :eductive class were also somewhere, looking, doubtless, very assured, perhaps protesting ho nesty : only one thing, however, was certain, that 401. of the Yorkshireman's gold had vanished, and vanished where he dreamed of nothing but merriment and good-will—and he "coo'd not ha' belev'd it." Well, while captains are captains, such surprises we fear are likely to happen on the banks of the Thames, at the East End of our huge metropolis— and even to captains who " coom fra' Yorkshire." Long heads have enjoyed no exemption since the days of SOLOMON from the power of temptation if they do not keep out of it. JOSEPH'S plan is the only one, and even he paid a heavy penalty for virtue. We must set it down, therefore, for certain, that long heads will be beaten by seduc tive faces at the East End if they venture among them. We wish, however, it were at the East End only. There are certain gentlemen who " coom , fra' Tiverton," and the House of Lords, and a few other places, and who locate them selves in a well-known public office on the banks of Father Thames, at the West End, who seem to be quite as strangely at the mercy of known tempters in their line. A wary old Captain in Ministerial service, who has served with crews innumerable, and been Secretary at War or Fo reign Secretary some five-and-thirty years, who knows right well the object of the coaxing ones, who has shown his temper at their misbe haviour so often, at least, that people began to think he would not be duped by them, and yet— we " coo'd not ha' belov'd it"—he, too, comes before us bewailing, like others,' that he's done out of his gold, or rather out of our gold. • When we so luckily cut loose from Hanover we all hoped that Germany would plague us no more. We had had enough, and more than enough, the Electorate ; and often did we heartily wish that the Elbe had carried it out to sea, and sub merged it for four-and-twenty hours. PROVIDENCE gave us a better release. Bat, alas ! we were in for it elsewhere. Kings must have Queens, and (Teens must have, if not Kings, fathers of Kings, and no one at home being of blood divine enough for that honour we must be married to some foreigner ; and if to a foreigner, where could one be found Royal and Protestant, too, but in Ger many ? The result is that all the influences of kindred bearing on the Court are Garman influ ,mces—German uncles and aunts, cousins, male and female, and all the host of affines, as well as son,sanguingi, till Austria, and we know not how many of the little Powers, and Prussia in the paulo post, have fairly got hold of our Court; and whoever is offended, every connection of the little German Dukedom must be kept in good temper. But would not the Noble Lord the Member for Tiverton be proof against all this ? He had shown some little . respect to Kossurii, and had dared to think, after his long practice, he could write a foreign despatch without Lord JOHN RussELL's and the Coburgs' censorship ; he had been duly lejstured for such impertinence, and even t about his business. He had, more- Wer, *en no steps to punish the Banksiders, and poured no oil and wine into the cartwhip wounds of the woman-flogger ; he rather wickedly stood by and laughed at the wry faces of the Coburgs and the Hapsburgs. Surely he, of all Cabinet Captains, would not get into dark corners, on a German Drum and Kettle, and lose all the repu tation he had acquired ! Alas ! the well-known deceptiveness of political hopes ; the War Minis ter surrenders at last all the way through to Austria. She was allowed to sketch the plan of • a peace when the war would have reached Poland, and shaken Hungary and Italy ; was allowed to add her votes to those, already numerous enough, of the despots at Paris ; was allowed to escape all the cost of the war ; to feed her troops at the expense of the Principalities ; to break every promise ; to liberate Russian troops to attack our army ; to enact the coward, the bully, and the villain at once ; and then to swagger or smile as she pleased at the Peace Conference, as one of the greatest of the great. Surely if Lord PAL MERSTON had not been cajoled by Austrian Syrens nearer at hand he would have kicked such a political prostitute out of the Council Chamber. He would never have allowed his pocket to be picked of the honourable policy open to him and to his country. We will freely own that Austria was very dee p with. him, and with some ono else too. She had cut Louis NAPOLEON out of a wife, yet she got him over to her view, and he knew Lord PAL MERSTON'S weak side. Like other seducers, Austria did not set about her victim alone. The parvenu Despot, she well knew, needed the aid of an old Despot. She had also plenty of argu ments to show that despots must now hang to- gether. Free and Constitutional England was not a convenient associate for subjugated France, and Sardinia too was not a pleasant looking-glass for neighbour tyranbi. So the HAPSBURG and the NAPOLEON, and the COBURGS (via the Duke of BRABANT) all combine to do the Herr Von Palmerston. And just now how completely is he at the mercy of Austria and of Louts NAPO LEON. He would have liked, no doubt, left to himself, to have at least left a trace of the PAL MERSTON administration- in the condition of Italy. But no, Austria and tho elected Emperor forbid. A little show of vigour cv)uld upset the BOURBONS in Italy for ever, but re publics or constitutions would follow. For dear Austria's sake that must not be. Italy must be in fetters, and England and PALMERSTON lose their reputation and influ ence with. all Europe, because PALMERSTON is cajoled by the Coßuans, Austria, and Louts NAroLaoN We " coo'd not ha' belev'd it." - THE DEI.VISO.N COBTROYERSY.

LATEST NEWS. CALMS, THURSDAY NIGHT. Four steamers of the Russian fleet have been signalled. They will be in harbour to-morrow morning. The official order has arrived by tele graph to have a supply of coal ready for them. These steamers are a portion of the Russian squadron, so long talked of. TEHERAN, OCT. 6. The English expedition to the Persian Gulf has caused great alarm here. The Persian troops of th 3 army of Affgbanistan have been sent to occupy the country around Herat - . ; NAPLES, OCT. 29. The Ambassadors were ready to depart on the 28th. M. Breuier has, it is said, consented to delay, upon concessions proposed. Another telegraph says they are expected at Marseilles on the Ist. General Lanza replaces General Gaeta as go vernor of Naples. Considerable military precau tions continue to be adopted. The city was tranquil, but trade dull, The Gazette du Midi, has received by the last packet from Naples the following intelligence, the exactitude of which it guarantees : " The English and French Legations, on re ceiving orders to act definitively, applied to M. de Caraffa to fix. a day on which they might communicate to him the tenour of their despatches. The Honourable Minister appointed the 21st for the purpose, in Order to give himself time to confer with the King. On that day Baron Brenier and Mr. Petro proceeded to the Minister's hotel, and the English diplomatist read a note couched in violent terms; Baron Bre . mer read another to the same purpose, but in more courteous language. M. de Caraffa replied that he should have wished to receive the visit of these gentlemen for a more agreeable purpose, and that he regretted not to have any answer to give them. Baron Brenier then said that on the Saturday (25th), he would have recourse to his (the Minister's) kindness for his passports. The other declared that he was quite at his service. The two Ministers then took their leave." A letter from'Montenegro of the 18th, in the German Journal of Frankfort, says :—" Prince Danilo has received from the Russian consul the assurance that Russia and France have taken Mon tenegro under their protection." The Paris correspondent of the Times (Second Edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " I hear frail authentic sources that an unusual amount of Russian influence, or intrigue, is being used at Constantinople in order to induce the Porte to demand the retirement of the English vessels in the Black Sea, and the evacuation of the Austrian forces now in the Danubian Princi- palities. According to late despatches, it was very doubtful if those who oppose English policy in the East would not succeed. The changed lan guage of some persons about the Sultan had given rise to suspicions which are not foreign to the traditional corruption of Turkish officials. " It was not at Naples, but at Civita. Vecchia, that Baron Brenier embarked, according to a telegraphic despatch from Marseilles. He left Naples for Rome, and from Rome went to Civita 'Vecchia, whera a French ship waited to take him to Marseilles. A private reason may be given for this ; but it is really to prevent a French vessel of war appearing in the Neapolitan waters. There is no desire here to alarm the King, or to occa sion excitement among the people, which the pre sence of the French or English flag in the Bay might o do e . ,sm thing is said of the probability of an ar rangement by the. King making concessions after the departure of the Ambassadors, but I cannot say that it rests on any good foundation. " The Monitenr has thought proper to give a lecture en way received, of lesson on good manners to the English press; and, doubtless has showing and w how it f h av w ou h r a a t bl r y ea t d h y e acquiescence it will be acted upon, the official Chesterfield this day displays in its most promi nent page, and in its largest and boldest type, three long articles from the Morning .Past, the Standard, and the Morning Chronicle. These articles, which bear pretty much the same rela tion to the note of the Koniteur that the orations of the mover and seconder of the ad dress do to the Speech from the Throne, that is, the echo or the paraphrase, it seems to consider as representing the sentiments or opinions of the whole English people, for it quotes no other public organ. The other Paris journals were, it is true, permitted to give an extract from the Times on the same subject, but the tex ract was merely the paragraph which contained a just eulo giurn on the conduct of the Empersr Napoleon in the Russian war, but they went no further. " When a stranger takes upon himself to re monstrate with us on the morality of our life, to control our domestic concerns, to examine into the manner in which we conduct our households, &c., if we did not inform him that such unasked for intermeddling was impertinent, we would at all events be justified in requiring that before he as sumed the office of a monitor he should himself be free from all reproach on that head. When the in spirers of the Monitette feel so sensitive about im pairing the entente between the two nations, they should look first at home. They have supreme control over the press of their own country, and whether it be Ministerial or otherwise, they have the power to suspend or silence for ever any journal in the French Etnpire. Hardly a num ber of the Assembles Nationale, the Univers, or the Union appears in which the institutions, the foreign and domestic policy, and the re igious creed of the great majority of Englishmen are not denounced, and in which sometimes th© basest motives are not attributed to the acts of our public men, and generally to the whole nation. Yet we do not call upon the French authorities to exercise their arbitrary power and silence our censors ; we occasionally answer them and defend ourselves as best we can, and we have no official organ at our command to menace them with a rupture of the friendly un derstanding between their Governments if they do not cease reviling. " The journals just mentioned are not the only ones in which those amenities appear. There is a paper published at Strasburg called the .Alsacien. It has as its frontispiece 'an Imperial eagle, surmounted with a crown, forked lightning shoots out horizontally from his talons, he grasps the thunder, and is encircled with what is intended as a halo of glory. There are other indications, too, which show its political colour ; and a notice in its front page informs the public that it is specially appointed to publish the official adver tisements of the arrondissement. We therefore infer that it is more or less .the organ of the local authorities ; that, in fact, it is the journal of the Prefecture, and consequently under official patronage and control. The Alsacien, moreover, is printed half in German and half in French, so that its lucubrations are made familiar to the German as well as the French population of the Rhine. Tho Alsacien has for some time past been publishing a series of articles on what it calls "Les Gros PClches Politiques de I'Angleterre," and in which it reveals, for the edification of the double nationality of its readers, ;he enormities of British statesmen and of the British people. In its number of the 2G th of September last I find, among others, the follow- ing passages : " Let it, then, be well understsod, and the English journals cannot complain of this explanation, that their hutnourist escapades are merely the result of at mospheric variations. It may be established as a principle that in certain respects their aggressive po lemics are but a question of the barometer ; "their mani festations descend the scale of good manners to the forgetfulness of all conventional rules, and even down to brutality," &c. "We do not mean to say that side by side with these excesses, which in our eyes are insig nificent peccadilloes, we have not to reproach England in general, as well as its statesmen au& its press in par ticular, with other grievances still more serious, founded on their selfish and aggressive policy. We find in them certain penchants which have become chronic, and which, inspired by the spirit of mercantilism and domination, are manifested by acts in which deceit and violence are too often employed instead of frankness:and generosity." Again, on the 12th of the present month, the Alsacien says : The descendants of the proud and rude preux who shared in the labours of William (the Conqueror) and his successors have remained the aristocratic portion of English society, and they continue to possess the soil conquered by their ancestors. They would think it a disgrace to apply to manufactur:ng industry, or to traffic, properly so called. But they have become, apparently without degradation, agriculturists, breeders of cattle, and coal merchants. After such a social transformation it would be vain to expect from them disinterestedness or magnanimity in their political acts, or in their inter national relations. Every thing is based on calculation ; and selfishness and thirst of gain universally prevails. In the history of England there is not a single w ar re corded which was not undertaken with a view, more or less patent, to commercial interests. Not a single durable :peace has been made by them without the cerriby pelmet of resuming hostilities as soon as possible if their mercantile speculations were not amply satisfied. "Let uw now see how England applies these disposi tions in her international relations. We only find con tradictions, bad dealing, and insolent pretensions. In her foreign relations England has declared herself alter nately, and sometimes at the same moment, according to place and cirnunestancee, the champion of pure inon arch), or of absolutism. Since 1815 the wind keeps pretty constant in the Liberal quarter. Let us not be deceived, however ; these ideas she only professes for nations independent of her domination. For those that are under her yoke there, is another regime, and the flagrant contradictions between her external acts and her pretensions give her no anxiety whatever." "To illustrate this passage Ireland is brought forward. Speaking of India the Alsaci*!ri says The populations are oppressed in the most revolting manner, and recent disclosures show how liberal England obtains the payments of her imposts. The stick and the torture are the means of persuasion used towards the re fractory taxpayers. Portugal has become the tributary and satellite of England since the Treaty of Methuen. From that period English manufactories supplied the wants of the Portuguese, and the Eoglish merchants have almost exclusively to their profit all the principal branches of commerce. Portugal is in the eyes of England the model country ; and the fate of Portugal is that which she reserves for all other States if she could realise her cupidity. Naturally, such conduct is not of a nature to invite confidence on the part of other nations. It is with the utmost reserve and with the greatest precau tions that the Sovereigns of weak States accept the alli ancegof England. Such mistrust is not to the advan tage of England, and she seeks a remedy for it by put ting herself forth as the champion of liberalism.' "Again, on the 19th of the present month, it describes you thus :-- Everything is calculation in England. The English nation is merely an agglomeration of traders and specu lators. The habits of the counting-house have for ages invaded the regions of Government. Statesmen are forced to regulate their policy according to the interests of com merce. All their relations with foreign nations are made subordinate to the balance of profit and loss. Lift up the veil ofldisintereetedness and magnanimity with which her diplomatists cover her most memorable acts, and you shall find nothing but speculation inspired by mercantilists. Scrape a Chatham, and you will find a commercial agent. Everything in England is made subordinate to commercial and trading prosperity ; fur in her social organisation that prosperity is he only true basis of her power and grandeur. Since 1&15 there has not been a single revolutionary movement which did not find mere or less sympathy in England, when it had not been provoked by her, and everywhere she places alt the obstacles in her power to the re-establishment of order France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Hungary, &c., have had to undergo successively that sinister in fluence. That very policy is still nothing but calcula tion. We have seen how she treats the nations that are eubj Acted to her domination. She cares very little about liberal principles. English liberalism abroad is merely a speculation, a means of securing markets fur her trade and her manufactured products. ' When, at a later period, England declined associating herself with the Holy Alliance, her doing so must not be attributed to any sincere regard for liberty. A period of calm was to follow the long wars which bad ex hausted Europe. The Holy Alliance was intended by its promoters as an additional guarantee for the Treaties of the Congress of Vienna. It was, therefore, contrary to the speculation of English mercant lisin, which fore saw the approach of continental industry, and the sac cessiv e creation of Customs' leagues. It was a merely personal interest whichlprevented her from joining the Holy Alliance. She preferred being isolated, because that position gave her greater liberty of action to carry on her policy according to the wants and exigencies of her traffic. But in spite of the skill she displayed in her foreign relations, the whole of the great continental States have very little taste for the new English system of free trade,and have closed their ports to her products. It was for this that she called to her aid the panacea of the principles of liberalism.' " The character given of us by the semi• official Alsacien, is not, as you see, very flattering. We are treated by it as unprincipled politicians, ruth less tyrants, spoilers, hypocrites, and false to all obligations ; and even the very few fair qualities we may exhibit are assumed merely to cover the baseness of our real character, and to dupe, cheat, oppress, and plunder friends and foes alike. " Now the Alsacien, has a perfect right to judge us as it pleases, and that judgment will not provoke the English Government to retaliate in the London Gazette, if the Gazette be not a myth. Yet if the inspirers of the Moniteur are so sensitive as to apprehend that the Anglo- French alliance may be imperilled by the language of a part of the English press, they surely ought one of their own proteges to begin by reprima ndin g for the character it gives of us to the French and German people, particularly when that paper depends for its prosperity, and perhaps its exist ence, on the will of the Prefect, and when the Prefect in turn depends on the Government. At all events, they should look at home before giving lessons on truih and politeness to other people." FRANCE.

Wallachia should be settled. Russia, in consequence of this information, did not think it necessary to demand through France that Austria should evacuate the Principalities.

SWITZERLAND. The J3und of Berne says :—" The valley of Lits near Avers, in the Grisons, not far from the foil- tier of Valteline, which is in dispute between Austria and Switzerland, has become the scene of fresh difficulties created by Austria, who has carried away a quantity of wood cut on that territory. The authorities of the canton of Grisons have despatched a commissioner to the spot in order to inquire into the circumstances." A correspondent from Neuchatel writes to-fa-y--. that the intelligence given in the telegraphic des patch from Berne of the 22d, stating that the Federal Government had released the political prisoners at that place is greatly exaggerated. The letter adds : " A- few persons, slightly compromised, have been re leased on bail, but 13 or 20 are still in close confinement, and although treated with humanity are subject to prison discipline and fare. The interrogations having been ended, and no new measures taken to terminate the affair, the country is in a painful state of suspense, in creased by some really unworthy allusions in the local papers to what occurred in the first revolution in France, in case the King of Prussia enforces his claims. The Federal occupation still continues, and is made to bear heavily on the Royalist party, two of them having had 50 soldiers quartered upon them for seven weeks. If this continues, some may be half-ruined before trial." PORTUGAL. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNTNC.

LIFE ASSURANCE AND LAND.-SYSTEMATIC COLONISATION. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —Some mouths since my attention was called to a series of " able articles" on Life Assurance, published weekly in a paper called the Joint Stock Companies Toornal. On examining them I thought I recognised the features of an old friend, and perceived indeed that the said original essays were literal reprints of papers which I originally contributed to an Edinburgh maga zine, and afterwards republished through the medium of Messrs. Bailliere, of Regent-street and New York, under the title of " The Prudent Man ; or, How to acquire Land and bequeath Money by means of Co-operation." I have in vain pointed out to the editor that such bare faced robbery of ideas is "mast intolerable and not to be endured." The last week's impression repeats and con tinues the offence, by publishing as its own my chapter on Life Assurance, as it affects the interests of wives and daughters—Life Assurance and the Ladies. However, I shall feel much obliged if you will, on this denial of justice, enable the general public to understand the main gist and object of the little work which has been thus pirated ; that will be some compensation for the injustice done me. At the present moment life assurance hardly extends beyond securing an average accumulation of savings on the death of the assured. I atu desirous of having the principle extended to securing an immediate as well as reversionary benefit. How is this to be accomplished ? Simply by assigning at once to the assured the amount of his policy (subject to his paying interest as well as premium), in such a shape that he cannot run throigh it or run away with it till the consideration has been paid for the same. This is to be effected by allowing him the usufruct of land during a term of years, and the possession thereof at the end of the period, in consideration of perio dical instalments of the price. A hundred pounds' worth of colonial land might thus be assigned to him on mortgage in consideration of his paying 81. 14s. per annum for 20 years, which would replace the 1001. with 6 per cent, in terest, leaving it open to him to assure the value by a term premium, which at the younger ages would be an inconsiderable additional burden, while the effect of it would be to secure ab so lut e freehold to his family in the event of his decease within the 20 years. New for the practical application of this principle to systematic colonisation. No one better than yourself is acquainted with the great merit and the great defect of the Wakefield system. The merit, that of requiring a sufficient price for land to make the land available for social and reproductive purposes. The obvious defect in practice has been that the sufficient price hag been charged at the outset, while the social adaptation pro• mised has not been made pani passu, and sometimes not all ; it being a peculiar quality of human nature — at least of joint stock human nature—to spend other people's money lavishly, and for other than the legiti mate objects for which it is subscribed. To prevent this I would have the subscriptions made gradually by the customers—the settlers to be beneficed—and the expen &tore in improvements made at an early stage by the colonising body out of its own funds. The colonist would thus be pretty sure to get what he pays for, and the company would be fairly entitled to an ample profit on their organised expenditure. In a word, the purchase money of the land, with its improvemen.s and endowments, agricultural, educational, and social, being spread over a period of years, the payments would re present not merely prospective, but actually realised benefits. mo T d h ifi e e W d ; ak io e r fie e ld xo s nl ys p t l e e n? o w n ou t l h d e a h c a c e o i tedi t n o gl b y e ha n v o e w t i o nd b i e . cated :—I shall suppose a block of land to be secured of, say 100 square miles, or 64,000 acres. Let this be di vided, as in the New Zealand settlements, into town, suburban, and country sections, the price to include the value of the lands, with improvements made or provided for as below by the colonising body, whose outlay is to be gradually replaced with interest by the instalment payment of the settlers, in addition to the legitimate bonuses to accrue from such portion of the laud as the company may agree with the public to reserve for their own profit. Let us assume each country section to be 40 acres, each suburban section nine acres, and each town section one acre. There would then be 1,280 sections of each kind; 1,280 of country land at 21. an acre, or 801. a section ; 1,280 of suburban land at 4/ an ere or 36/. a section ; and 1,280 of town land at 101. an ' acre or section. The town would therefore em brace two square miles, inclusive of reserves for public objects, such as streets, squares, churches, schools, markets, public parks, and cemeteries ; and the total purchase money (exclusive of interest) would be -1 1,280 country sections at 801. 1,280 suburban sections at 361. 1,280 town sections at 101. £161,280 0 0 I❑ consideration of this purchase money the company would require t,) make some such outlay and disposition as the following : Price of the land, say 450,000 Preliminary expenses, surveys, &c lO,OOO Agricultural adaptatio❑ 20,000 Educational and religious endowments (to be proportioned to voluntary subscrip tions) Public parks, gardens, &c. Emigration Lands reserved by the company for their own profit and source of profit 20,000 20,000 10,000 30,000 £160,000 The purchase money being spread over a period of years (I have assumed 20 for the sake of illustration) would require to bear interest, say six per cent., to cover expenses of management ; and the equivalent in stalments therefore would be, for each of the t fflenty years, about 71. for each SO/. section, q. for each 36/. section, and 17s. 6d. for each 101. section, These pay ments would replace the company's outlay with interest, in addition to the houses above provided ror, from the enhanced value of the land. This enhancement of value would accrue from the very influx of population alone, leaving no practical doubt as to the security as well as national and social benefit of the operation. The equity of this mode of colonisation I need not dwell upon, nor en the vast field it would develope, and i the stimulus it wou ld af f or d to Lif e A ssuranc e, 4,s it s obvious that every i nsura bl e se ttl er wou ld be encouraged to insure his life in the value of the land he would thus hold on mortgage, that in the event of his premature de cease he might be enabled to leave to his children an un encumbered patrimonial inheritance. —I am, &c., 23, Pall Mall, Oat. 25.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST CAPTAIN PLATT. — BRIGHTON, Thursday.—At the borou•th sessions held to-day, Captain Platt, a nephew of Baron Platt, was charged with assaulting Mr. John Lawrence, a surgeon residing in this town. The facts of the case are, that on the 31st of July last, the defendant came down to Brighton, and called on Mr. Lawrence, and requested some explanation and satisfaction, in reference to some• thing which he alleged the latter had circulated, affect ing the character of his wife (a lady, formerly of some note as an actress—Miss Louisa Howard). In the course of a warm alte rca ti on , M r. L awrence s tated that he believed the lady in question was not the most im maculate per,on in the world ' • and as he (Mr. Lawrenc e ) who bad gone out o f his house, followed by defendant , was in the act of ge tti ng i n t o hi s earr i ngs , the defendant struck him very violently with a whip across the shoul ders and hand. An arrangement was entered into between the parties. Captain Platt gave a written apology to Mr. Lawrence, and also the sum 91 DM to the Sussex County Hospital. SPEgCH OF THE .KING OF SPTEDZIr.
