' "17 g'te their assent to it, and the Act - of Alt effecting the change would purport to be enacted by th authority of the Queen, Lords, and Commons. To expose this deficiency of power in the Lords, to demon strate their inferiority to the Home of Com Mons, and at the same time to make it apparent that they must set their ettl to all the money enactments which the House of Com mons sends up to them, required great honesty and great boldness in their Lordships. It might be vulgar to call the Lords the cads of the Commons, but it was made plain, by the debate of last night, that wherever the Commons choose to drive, the Lords must follow. Their restiveness at the end only shows that they feel their degradation, and cannot shake it off. We regretted very much to hear Lord BROUGHAM most elaborately defend, last night, the discriminating and prohibitory duty on sugar, on the ground that to remove it would encourage the importation of slave grown sugar and the slave trade. Admitting that, we must beg leave to repeat our opinion that the Legisla ture is not now justified in withholding food, which sugar is, from our own people, on any such speculative apprehensions. Our own people are, or at least ought to be, the first consideration with the Legislature, and if it inflict the smallestinjuty on them, with a view to benefit the Africans, it violates its duty to perforM anact of su pero._atory charity. To be generous to strangers it tramples our people unthr foot. But we do not admit that the abolition of the discriminating duties would encourage the slave tract ; and we must, there fore, express oar decided, but respectful, dissent from Lord Bitouonam's view. The general distress has suggested the recommenda , atm to Government immediately to permit all the corn now in bond to be released free of duty. This seems to us advisable. It is now almost certain, that all that corn will be broughtin at next to anominal duty before the new harvest comes to market. Almost all the corn iu the coun try is now in the hands of corn- dealers ; they can regu late the supply almost as they--'please, and they would be arrant fools if they did not so regulate it as to put all the duty in their poeke:s. Suppose that there is now 1,030,000 quarters of wheat in bond—the duty is now I Is., and the law therefore actually holds .out to the corn dealers a bonus of 500,0001. to keep that wheat from the market till the duty be ir They are, we have no doubt, endeavouring to .accom plish that, and we have heard that circulars recommend ing the holders of foreign corn to follow that course of conduct, and pointing out its certain success, have been issued. Nothing, we further believe, but an extraor dinarily early harvest can prevent the speculators from obtaining their object. With this almost moral certainty of their success before Sir R. PEEL'S eyes, he would do the suffering and starving people a great service by at once permitting that orn to 7 be imported free of duty. By so doing the people will be spared six weeks' suffering, and the fanners will receive 1.0 injury whatever. On the contrary, it will benefit them. By ‘vitholding • this corn to the laSt moment, and famishing the people in the meantime, the prices will fall more when it is all brought in, and probably brought in just in con junction with our own harvest, than if it were at once to be introduced and gradually consumed before our own harvest is ripe. We hope that Sir R. PEEL will think of this, and confer this immense advantage en the people, which will cause no ultimate loss to the revenue, and in flict no injury on the agriculturist. • STATIONAL LO IN FUND SOCIETY FOIL GRANTING • LIFE ASSURANCES, DEFERRED ANNUITIES, &c.

Special Insurances of this class, if approved, will be subject to such extra premium as may appear to the Directors appor tioned to the risk to be undertaken by the office. By order of the Board.

DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED. This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834. In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Share holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added a per Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies to those par ties who had insured with Profits. The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale, and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the Insurance is for life. The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December 1840, is as follows: Sum Assured. Time Assured.

By the Pluton French war-steamer, whiCh saile3 from Lisbon en' Tuesday the 7th instant, we have the following letter, via Havre, from Lisbon, which contains the final re sults of the general elections h e ld on t h at and t h e prev i ous d ay. LisvoN, 7.—The GoverUmerit has received by te legraphic despatch from different parts of the kingdom the re sults of the various contested elections. These results secure to the Government an immense majority, verifying most com pletely all my predictions upon this subject, and confirming the present Administration so strongly in power, that they nil now be enabled to carry through all their measures of financial and gene:al policy, and work out without substantial impedi ment all their designs for the amelioration of Portugal. The elections at Oporto all went in favour of the Govern ment. At Coimbra they had also a very large majority. "When the despatch was transmitted (at three o'clock, p. m.) the Goy,prnment had succeeded in eighteen elections, ancl.the. Opposition only in five. At Chaves, the eepital of Tras os-Montes, the Government had been completely suc cessful. In short, throughout the entire provinces of the Douro, . Minhe, and Ttas.os.-:pontes, the elec tions had been one triumph for the Government. In the Alemtejo they had also a very large majority, and in the two chief towns, Elves and Abrantes, upon which the whole strength of the Coalition was concentrated, three Government and one oppo4ition Member hal in each case been returned. No telegraphic communications were arranged for the provin ces of Algarve and Beira, both Bakio and Alto, but the Government. was_ here certain of a majority. The only re maining province is that of Estremadura, the results of the elections in which are now nearly all asc.rtained, and Govern ment is certain of 'a majority of at least fifteen electoral dis tricts. , The feeling of the British residents here, on the subject of the swamping of their privileges, are increasing daily in in- tensity. Their almost unanimous opinion is that they have been treated in a most cavalier and improper manner by the British Envoy-that - no consideration has been paid to their feelings, and but little to their interest. They are of opinion that Lord Howard should have called a meeting of their body, for the purpose of consulting them as to whether they were satisfied to forego the privileges which have been enjojed here by British residents for centuries, and especially , as to whether they Were content to exchange the protection of their Conservatorial Court for the very dubious yustiee of the Portuguese tribunals. They are further of opi; Ilion, that in common decency they should have been consulted as to what securities were to be abided to them in lieu of the privileges which it is meant to abolish. They complain that they are lefr. in total ignorance—that what is done, or what undone, they are left to guess-work to determine ; that they have no access to Lord Howard, who has made it a practice to exhibit marked inattention to their body, his Lordship's consi. deration being exclusively extended to two, or at most three, of Vieir body, one of whom (Mr. Lucas) is now in England, and that, for all practical purposes, the correspondence of the Lon don Journals is their most valuable diplomacy. Since I wrote you yesterday, I am enabled to inform you, on authority, that the point which I specified as to the clause of revision in the Slave-trade Treaty will give rise to no difficulty whatever. The five lines at the conclusion of the snide will remain expunged, in accordance with Lord Aber deen's desire, but a word or two will be introdeced for the sake of clearness, which will be quite swisfactory to both parties. Both the commercial and slave trade treaties are therefore, in effect, final'y concluded ; end if the copying out of both be con cluded in time, they will be forwarded signed, by the next. packet. It is now placed almost beyond a doubt, that the Duke of Palmella will permanently accept of office. I incline to the opinion that he wi.l enter the Administration as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. It is possible, however, that the pest which he will hold will be that of Premier, the Duke of Terceira, with the well-known amenity of his disposition, being quite prepared to yield t o hi m th e P res id enc y of the Council,' retaining far himself the War Department. However this may be arranged between their Graces, the Administration will, in all probability, henceforth comprise the two Dukes within its personnel; and siiperadding to this strength the universally admitted abilities, energy, and influence of - Costa Cabral and Ba ron Tojal, may be considered as comprising " all the talents." The Government has just received•an important commnni• cation from Baron de Moncorvo, detailing an interview which he has had with Lord Aberdeen in connexion with the late change of. Administration in Madrid This was to the effect that his Lordship had forwarded instructions to Mr. Aston to acquaint Espartero and the new Government that if any at tempt be made to interfere with the existing state of thinga in Portugal, England will at once withdraw her countenance from Spain, and resist any intrigue of whatever description directed against Portugal. The Indus will sail for the Alediteiranean on Saturday or Sunday next. Lady Stirling and her lamily sailed for England this morn:ng in the Alban. The Lynx will remain here, and will be quite sufficient for the station. Continued tranquillity is so certain here, that the Admiralty may well husband its re sources. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

THAMES ROYAL YACHT CLUB. The first below bridge match of the season amongst the yachts belong,ieg to members of this distinguished Club, which boasts the patronage of her Majesty and Prince Albert, was determined yesterday. It will be le membered that an effort was made to tail this match on Saturday week last, but in con sequence of the calm which prevailed, it was found impossible to get the beats lower than Erith, and in conformity with the Club Isws, yesterday was appointed to bring the matter to issue. At ten the Royal Sovereign steamer proceeded with a highly respectable company to Greenwich, where the boats were found at their station. First Cass—Phantom, 20 tons, .1. F. Selby, E.sq., white and blue ; Mystery, 25, Lord A. Paget, blue, white Maltese cross; Mary, ;25, G. Keene, Esq., white, quartered red. Second Class—Lady Louisa, 13 tons, T. Smith, Esq., blue. Third Class—Brilliant, 8 tons, IL Fowler, E ,- q., blue, white strives ; Sea Nymph, 10, C. Wheeler, Esq., white before blue ; Rival, 10, W. Lawyer, Esq , blue, white quartered. It will be seen by the above that there was but one yacht for the second class, and from that circumstance it might have been inferred that there was no necessity for her sailing at all. Such, however, was not the fact, the question being, whether the Lady was competent to a successful race with the third class yachts, as in the event of either of th em com i ng i n next to the first class, ' and before the Lady, she would claim the se cond prize. The great favourite was the new iron -boat of Lord Alfred Paget, a very pretty specimen of craft of the full-match rate. She was backed at even against the field, and the Phantom proceeded to beat down the next possessed the call. In the third class the Sea Nymph the Rival second, the Sea was the favourite, indeed, money was laid out at even that she would come in before the Lady, and claim, as we have stab d, the second prize.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,—Since the letter upon railroads, which you were good enough to insert in your paper, I have had some conversation with two gentlemen officially con • nected with the Great Western. Though nothing could be more courteous than their manner, nor more intelligible than their arguments, I remain unshaken as to the necessity of keeping the doors open. There is, in the' first place, the effect of imagination, the idea that all escape is impossible, that (let what will happen) you must sit quiet in first class No. 2, whe ther they are pounding you into a jam, or burning you into a cinder, or crumbling ycu into a human pow der. These excellent Directors, versant in wood and metal, seem to require that the imagination should be sent by some other conveyance, ,and that only loads of impassioned, unintellectual flesh and bloat • should be darted along on the 'Western rail ; whereas, the female homo is a screaming, parturient, interjec tional, hysterical animal, whose delicacy and timidity monopolists even (much as it may surprise them) must be taught to consult. The female, in all proba bility, never would jump out ; but she thinks she may jump out when she pleases, and this is intensely comfortable. There- are two sorts of .dangers which hang over railroads. The one retail dangers, where individuals only are concerned ; the other, wholesale dangers, where the whole train, or a considerable part of it, is put in jeopardy. For the first danger there is a re medy in the prudence of individuals . ; for the second there is none. No man need be drunk, nor need he jump out when the carriage is in motion; but in the present state of science it is impossible to guard effectually againit the fracture of the axletree or the explosion of the engine; and if the safety of the one party cannot be consulted but by the danger of the other, if the foolish cannot be restrained but by the unjust incarceration of the wise, the prior considera tion is due to those who have not the remedy for the evil in their own hands. _ _ _ But the truth is—and so (after a hundred mono polising experiments on public patience) the railroad Directors will find it—there can be no other depend ence for the safety of the public than the care which every human being is inclined to take of his own life and limbs. Everything beyond this is the mere lazy tyranny of monopoly, which makes no distinction be tween human beings and brown paper parcels. If riding were a monopoly, as travelling in carriages is now become, there are many gentlemen whom I see riding in the Park upon such false principles, that I am sure the cantering and galloping Directors would strap them, in the ardour of their affection, to the saddle, padlock them to the stirrups, or compel them to ride behind a policeman of the stable ; and nothing but a motion -from O'Brien, or an order from Glad stone, could release them. Let the Company stick up all sorts of cautions and notices, within their carriages and without; but after that, no doors locked. If one door is allowed to be locked, ;;the other will soon be so too : , there is no other security to the public than absolute prohibition of the practice. The Directors and agents of the Great W6tern are individually excellent men; but the mo ment men meet in public boards they cease to be col lectively excellent. The friend of morality becomes less, as the individual contributors increase in num ber. I do not accuse such respectable men of any wilful violation of truth, but the memoir which they are about to present will be, without the scrupulous cross-examination of a Committee of the house of CoMMons, mere waste paper. But the most absurd of all legislative enactments is this hemiplegian law—an Act of Parliament to pro tect one side of the body and not the other. If the wheel come off on the right, the open door is uppermost, and every one is saved. If from any sudden avalanche on the.road the carriage is prostrated to the left, the locked door is upperMOst, all escape is impossible, and the railroad martyrdom be6ins. Leave me to.escape in the best way I can, as the i fire-officers very kindly permit me to do. - I know very well the danger of getting out on the off-side ; ; but escape is the affair -of a moment ; suppose a train to have passed at that moment, I know lam safe from any other trains for twenty minutes or half an hour ; and if I do get out on the off-side I do not re main in the valley of death between the two trains, but am over to the opposite bank 'hi an instant—only half roasted, or merely hroWned, certainly not done enough for the Great Western Directors. On Saturday morning last the wheel of the public carriage in which a friend of mine was travelling be gan to smoke, but was pacified by several buckets of water, and proceeded. After five more miles the whole carriage was full of smoke, the train was with difficulty stopped, and the flagrant vehicle removed. The axle was nearly in two, and in another mile would have been severed. Railroad travelling is, a delightful improvement of human life. Man is become a bird ; he can fly longer and quicker than a Solan goose. The mama rushes 60 miles in two hours to the aching finger of her conjugating and declining grammar boy. The early Scotchman scratches himself in the morning mists of the north, and has his porridge in Piccadilly before the setting sun. The Puseyite priest, after a rush of 100 miles, appears with his little volume of nonsense at the breakfast of his bookseller. Every thing is near, every thing is immediate—time, dis tance, and delay are abolished. But, though charm ing and fascinating as all this is, we must not shut our eyes to the price we shall have to pay for it. There will be every three or four years some dreadful massacre—whole trains will be hurled down a preci pice, and 200 or 300 persons will be killed on the spot. There will be every now and then a great com bustion of human bodies, as there has been at Paris; then all the newspapers up in arms—a thousand regu lations, forgotten as soon as the Directors dare—loud screams of the velocity whistle—monopoly locks and bolts, as before. The locking plea of Directors is philanthropy, and I admit that to guard men from the commission of moral evil is as philanthrophical as to prevent physical suffering. There is, I allow, a strong propensity in mankind to travel on railroads without paying, and to lock mankind in till they have completed their share of the contract is benevolent, because it guards the species from degrading and immoral conduct, but to burn or crush a whole train, merely to prevent a. few immoral insides from not paying, is, I hope, a little more than Ripon or Gladstone will bear. We have been, up to this point, very careless of our railway regulations. The first person of rank who is killed will put everything in order, and produce a code of the most careful rules.. I hope it will not be one of the bench of Bishops ; but should it be so des tined, let the burnt Bishop—the unwilling Latimer— remember that, however painful gradual concoction by fire may be, his death will produce unspeakable benefit to the public. Even. Sodor and Man will be better than' nothing. From that moment the bad effects of the monopoly are destroyed ; no' more fatal deference to the Directors; no despotic incarceration; no barbarous inattention to the anatomy and physio logy of the human body; no commitment to loco motive prisons' without warrant. We shall then find it possible "Voyager libre sans murk." SYDNEY SMITH. FACTORY FORTIFICATIONS.—We see that it is stated in the pamphlet of William Dodd, illustrative of the Factory System, that the factories of Messrs. Strutt, of Derby, at Belper and Milford, form regular fortifications. " I have made (he says) a few trips to the large cotton factories of Messrs. Strutt, which present the most singular appearance of any establishment I have met with in the whole course of my travels. This is the principal, if not the only firm carrying on the cotton trade in this neighbourhood ; besides their large factories in Belper, they have one at Milford, about a mile and a half from the town. The factories here are surrounded by fortificationr; and I have been told that the other is guarded in a similar manner. The whole length of the works is about 1 one hundred yards, and they extend along both sides of the road. Connecting the factories is a gallery across the road, about thirteen feet wide, supported by three arches. In this gallery are loop-holes for cannon, small arms, &c , which com pletely command all the approaches to the mills by the road. One part of their works is made bomb-proof, with loop holes 'similar to the above. The opposite building is nearly sur rounded by water, over which a small bridge is thrown from the road, which, I was told, could be easily removed in case of danger. The river is made to cover two sides of the works ; in addition to which there is a high wall nearly all round, with many hundred loop-holes, from which those within might fire upon any crowds assembled outside. There are also other means of protection, which are too numerous to mention in this letter." We are not aware of any manufacturing establishment either in Yorkshire or in Lancashire that has its " Fortifica tions ;" and we believe that those of Belper and Milford are in this respect, if correctly represented, perfectly unique.—Leeds Mercury.

One of the noblest ornaments of the diplomacy is now no more. Count Matuschewi!z expired, at St. Petersburgh, on the 2d instant, of dropsy of the heart. This news will impart so much the more sorrow to his numerous friends in England from its sudden and tinexpected nature. It was but yesterday that he was with us in health and buoyant spirits, trying his energies, as he was wont to do, by those active sports of the field in which he so much delighted. Any empty idler may, if he possess sufficient influence, become a diplomatist, copy a despatch, and wear an em broidered coat at Court galks and fetes, and even run out a full career, dealing in the mere grimace and nonentities of their profession. But to represent a great nation, above all Russia, with which diplomacy is the chief arm of conquest, requires exalted talents, and these Count Ma tuschewitz eminently possesSed. Ile was one of the young Poles Napoleon had placed in that unrivalled polytechnic school which has produced so many students of surpassing merit. At this scho..l, in which it was a triumph even to enter, co severe were the examinations, Count Matuschewitz carried away the chief prizes. Napoleon, in his temporary amity wish the great and good Alexander of Russia, having been asked fur some distinguished eleves, as models for the new institutions constantly rising in Russia, sent Matuschewitz, amongst other eleres, to the Imperial Autocrat. In the di plomatic service of this amiable Sovereign, young Matusche witz ultimately entered, and nut many years elapsed before we saw him in England, on a special mission, seconding the efforts of Prince Lieven, and counterbalancing the diplomatic reveries of the Asmodeus of diplomacy. The lamented Count played a principal part in the great conferences regarding the settlment of Greece, of the Belgian and other questions, whilst the revo lution of his own country passed over his head, trying deeply his equanimity of mind. Endowed with great buoyancy of temper, with an esprit naturel, showing itself through the me. dium of the most amiable manners, his love of British sports en deared him to our countrymen, and extended the circle of his friends far beyond the number which generally falls to the sla-e of a foreign visitor in the land. Count Matuichewitz's devotion to hunting w..s a real passion, requiring great physical energy to endure the feats he undertook. We have seen Count Matus chewitz when obliged to attend a meeting of the great Belgian Conference, start en horseback from Newmarket, and with relaj's on the road, reach London at the appointed hour, con • stantly riding on as if he were following the hounds over the Melton sward. Arrived at the meeting of the greatest diplo matists of the age, the lamented Count was as cool, collected, and as fell of a propos as if he had fre•h risen from his bed. When he definitively left London, and filled missions at Naples and in Sweden, on his return to St. l'etersburgh he always found moans to take England and its sports in his way back, and at the other Courts of Europe where he latterly resided, particularly at Stockholm, he consoled himself for his eloigne meet from England by living with those who were or who could speak English, and had some portion of the Anglomania, his t tiling passion. On the spur of the moment we regret we cas• nut do full justice to the memory of this distinguished man, but the deep regret the news of his decease will create amongst his numerous friends in England will form the best of all epitaphs. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. We regret to announce the death of Count Matuschewitz, which took place at St. Petersburgh only a few days since. Count Matuschewitz was a universal favourite in England, where his brilliant serial qualities and amiability secured him many friends, who deeply deplore his premature death. Russia has sustained a great loss by this event, fur the rare diplomatic talents, general information, incomparable power of reduction, and profound knowledge of European policy; ' ren dered him the most useful servant to the Emperor, while they excited the envy and jealousy of all competitors. Count Matuschewitz was a Pole by birth ; educated in Paris at thu Trytanee during the Empire, he was crowned by Napoleon wit the laurel accorded to the grand Prize of Honour. To Count Nesselrode is due the merit of ha vin g applied those transcendant talents to the service of Russia. It has been more than surmised that the diminutio n of Imperial favour at St. Petersburgh experienced by Count Matusehewitz owed i ts origin to the jealousy and intrigues occasioned by his well known partiality to England. When sent to Sweden as Minis tee, a position which to a man so high i . n his profession could only be looked on as an honourable exile, he turned this in tended slight to an occasion for fresh triumph, by writing one of the most able reports on the actual state of health,S we Sweden theytl that ever was penned. Count Matuschewitz. visited this country last w i n t er , w h ere he was welcomed and feted by h is friends, and w h en reca ll ed to . Russia two months a g o, thongh delicate anticipated that they should ace him no more. NEW NOVEL.

All the Peers agreed last night that the Income tax Bill is, as a Bill, independent of its purposes, a monster of deformity. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE spoke of it as terrifying him by its bulk and its complexity. Lord BROUGHAM pointed out in it a great number of verbal imperfections and in complete and even contradictory enactments. The Earl of WICKLOW did the same in relation to that part of the Bill which taxes Irish gentleman residing in whole or in part in England. The Ministers had little or nothing to say in its defence on these points, and it is to be passed into a law, branded by the law makers themselves as a huge jumble of complex anti contradictory clauses. In this we admire the ho nesty of the Lords quite as much as their sagacity, for it did not need any great skill to discover the defects of this renewal of the hasty Act of 180 G ; but it required in the Peers some boldness to denounce a measure to which they were about to give their sanction. The great object which Lord BROUGHAM had in view was to prove to their Lordships how much they suffered in character, and how much our Legislature was deteri orated, by the House of Commons refusing to allow the House of Lords to make any alterations in a Money Bill. His Lordship contended that the House of Commons might preserve its peculiar privileges, and allow the Lords to amend and correct its hasty legislation, by separating all mere taxing enactments from all executive clauses. The Income-tax Bill, he asserted, ought to have been divided into two Bills ; one ordaining the amount of the tax, and the other arranging the machinery for collecting it. The, former Lord BROUGHAM would not touch, the latter he would make perfect. He would, therefore, preserve the privileges of the Commons, and sive more legislative powers to the Lords. The NAle Lord boasted of the capability of the House of Lords to , make the laws consistent and proper, and, on the same I ground, condemned the present practice, which, in the case of Money Bills, deprives them of the power. At the same time, it- is obvious that were Lord BROUGHAM'S distinction acted on, it would not place the Lords on an equality with the Commons. As Lord MELBOURNE said, the Income-tax is a measure cf paramount importance. It alters the whole financial policy of the empire. It cannot well be departed from and must be continued. ,It carries with it great com mercial alterations; but because it is a tax, even were Lord BROUGHAM'S suggestion followed, the Lords would not be able to alter or amend it. They would, on his scheme, as at p?esent, have no voice, th erefore, in determining the financial policy of the empire, though they would aito 4 , - 4!.. 1, 7e :4 • t 3 xl 4 1 3 , a 4,. x . 41. 11 \, (.I ( e.* 4• 4 " -----1: . t-- - - ~sz t •,-",-..---...._ 4 , . ,- ' i • - .1..)...'. •.,. - , .. • ...
