At the present time so many estali.!,!-.ments exist, vieing with each other in the profession of ber ;tits to the public, which numerous failures, and consequent ruin to many in dustrious families have proved to be fall4cious, that the Di recturs think they will best discharge their duty to the Proprie tors and to the Public by a simple staten-.ela of the advantages which have been realised by these Offices.

The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as sured—a result; it is believed, far more favourable to the as sured than any ether Company has hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporatism are taken into consideration.

Considerable interest was excited on Tuesday by the sale of Vertue's Manuscripts, with some finely i.lustrated volumes by Horace Walpole ; and the proceeds of the day's sale were 497/. The following were some of the most remarkable:- 1,042. Chattertoniana : the several controversial works re lative to Chatterton's fictitious Poems of Thomas Rowley, an asserted priest of Bristol, in the 15th century ; collected by Horace Walpole. who was charged with being the immediate cause of pcur Chatterton's self destruction, 41. 10s. Strong, 1,061. Case, in form of a folio volume, in old morocco, richly tooled, containing forty-four volumes of the Roman Poets and 111 , torkns, printed by Maire, Plantin, and Raphe:engius, in the 16th century, of prickyt size, in vellum, richly gilded ; purchased by Horace Walpole for 31. 175., at the sale of Sir Julius Cwsir's manuscripts, in November, 1757, produced yes terday 111. 1,099. Thuanus's History of his Own Time, the second or 1 , suer size of the large paper, seven volumes bound in fourteen, enriched at the commencement of each volume by rare and urci d in terestinglase portrai ts byWalpole pl e , of theatthepersons sale of h spoken te Dormer o f o b r yt e h r e library, in historian, r March, 1764, for 511. The rarity of the prints in these volumes seems not to have been sufficiently attended to by the print-sel lers. In the first volume was a proof, before any letters, of Henry VIII., after Holbein, by Vertus, probably unique in this state. In the first part of the fifth volume was Crispin de Passe's splendidly-engraved portrait of Queen Elizabeth, in the magnificent dress in which she went to St. Paul's, which, at Sir M. M. Sykes's sale, sold for 23 guineas; and in the second part of the sixth volume, was the extremely rare sheet, containing portraits of King James the First and his family, engraved hy William Passe, and entitled Triumphus Jacobi regis augustceque ipsiusprolis. Vertue, in one of his mania seript volumes, menti ns particularly this print as being in the En-1 of Oxford's collection, and purchased by Lord Harley with Sir Simonds D'E we ' a co ll ec ti ons . W a lp o l e was loud;in its praise ; and, speaking of its acquisition, observes, " This beau ti ul and scarce print, probably the very proof that was Lord Oxford's, is now in my possession. I bought it at the sale of Sir Charbs Cotterel's iibrarv, in 1764, in the London edition of Thuanus, which i s also - adorned by Geteral Dormer and Sir Clement Cotterel with several other fine and scarce prints, particularly one of Henry IV. and Marie de Medici, their children and nurses ; and the print of the three Coligni's, which I have mentioned in the life of Isaac Oliver." Another im pression of the print. by William Passe, since Walpole's time, has sold for 30/. 9s. ; yet the whole, yesterday, was sold for 401. Tiffin. 1,110. Vertue's manuscript collections: relative to the arts, purchased by Horace Walpole after Vertue's decease, and on w Well he founded his " Anecdotes of Painting in England," a titork that will perpetuate W.,lpole's name to distant ages. Vertus minuted every fact that fall within his cognisance,` but waited method, and his sorrows late in life rendered him unable Lo adopt a new course. To Walpole, therefore, are we deeply indebted for what we know of the history of art in England— the plan was his own, and the intelligence gratuitously given. ‘Whatever was known before the appearance of the first volume of his anecdotes, in 1762, was confined to the memoranda of a very few virtuosi and antiquaries; by him was the prospect first opened, the sources of information pointed out, and a new ireerest in the works of our native or adopted artists was created, which in its progress are animated by taste, and fos tered by industrious research. By far the greater part of these collections havo consequently been published, and perhaps, w hat remains are now uninteresting memoranda, scarcely worth the glear.ing. 261. 10s. 1,117.

Sold for 221. 1,117: Manuscript catalogue of the principal pictures, arras hangings, and statues, belonging to King Chatles the First, with the prices they were sold for by the Parliamentary autho rities after the King's decai : itation, 1649. Lists of the pictures belonging to the Crown in the several Palaces, in Queen Anne's time, when the Duke of Kent was Chambarlain. Wal pole's rote shows that many of these pictures were absent with out leave even in his time. 211. 10s. Rodwell. 1,123. Description of Strawberry-hill, illustrated by seseral hundred drawings, portraits, views, and engravings of the an tiquities and objects of art and vertu, till recently deposited there. The whole collected and formed by Horace 'Walpole, in an atlas folio volume, in russia binding. 22/. lls 6d.

Yesterday's sale of prints itivolumes produced 4841., so that this portion has alrerciy netted upwards of 3,0001. Several of the volumes were of considerable interest, a few of which we shall briefly notice:- 1,160. Ito:al Academy and other exhibition catalogues, from 1760 to . 1796, with the occasionally printed reviews, sa tires, &c., on the several exhibitions; sale catalogues of cele brated collections of paintings, &c. ; the whole enriched by mart' interesting mar.uscript notes, by Horace Walpole; three hick v slumes, quirks, 52/. 10s.

Colnaghi. 1,224 to 1,232 comprised about sixty specimens of the works of Israel Van Mechlin, a celebrated engraver of the fifteenth century, chiefly purchased by Graves, and by Messrs. Smith ; they produced 411. 1,233 to 1,240 consisted of a hundred specimens of the works of Martin Schvonganer ; they sold for 301., and were purchased by Graves, Evans, and Messrs. Smith. The specimens of the engravings by Andrea Mantegna. and his contemporaries, comprised in the concluding lots of the day's sale, 1,241 to 1,246 inclusive, were in a very poor cmidition, and sold for only 13/., purchased by Colnaghi and Messrs Smith.

IMPORTANT AND SALUTARY IMPROVEMENTS have been introduced into the practice or Life Assurance by this Company, and the following are son r, of its distinguishing and important features, which have it , en introduced after mature deliberation. They will be most conveniently pointed out by referring ts Policies, as divided into two great ClaaFes —FAMILY PROVISION POLICIES, and MONEY TRANSACTION POLICIES. FAMILY PROVISION POLIC:::S.— In the well founded belief that Life A ssuranee busio , ...ss is profitable, per sons making provisions for their famtlii t_ and contemplating a long duration of time between the date et the Policy and the claim to arise under it, generally prefer Assurances which may carry with them a tight to participate in the profits to be re alised by the Comprny during the currency of their Policies. By the Deed of Constitution of this Colt:pany, the participa ting A ssured are entitled to the Whole of the Mutual Profits, as if they had been Assured in a purel-: Mutual Societ3 ; and they have, at the same time, the seeurii. : , not only of the funds of the Company, arising from the accurnwated premiums, but also the proprietary funds and subscribe I capital of the Com pany. To the Shareholders are allow(' ONLY those profits which are realised by the investment of their own paid capital, and from the excess of the premiums derived from the non participating Assurances. This mode of Division and Profits, so advantageous to the Assured of the participating Class, is adopted only by this Company. ;MONEY TRANSACTION POL 'IES.—An acquain tance w'th the records of the Courts of Law and Equity, proves that considerable changes were required in the practice and rules of Life Offices, to render this class of Policies valid and unimpeachable documents of security, which no foreseen circumstances or future acci.le..tts could invalidate. This Company has endeavoured, anti trey think successfully, to render their Policit s as indefeasibt' and negotiable secu rities as possible, consistently with a du+ ^egard to the safety of the contracting parties; and to effect this object, the Company has introduced the following clause into their Deed of Settle ment:— . . Clause 78.—" That every Policy issued by the Company shall be indefeasible and ii.disputable, and the fact of the issuing of the same shall be conclusive evidence of its validity, and it shall not be lawful for the Cornh.my to delay payment of the money assured thereby, on the gre ':nd of any error, mis take, or omission, however important, made by or on the part of the person or persons effecting the same, and that on the contrary, the amount receivable under the same shall be paid at the time stipulated by the Policy, to the person entitled thereto, as if no such error, mistake, or omission had been made or discovered, unless the Policy shall :Savo been obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation. In order to provide against, the defeat of a Policy in the bands of a Creditor, by the Debtor, whose Life is Assured, leaving the country, and going beyond the prescribed limit., the Company graut•what they term WHOLE WORLD PO LICIES, whereby, on condition of receiving an extra premium, varying in amount according to then ceumstances of the ease, but fixed and determined at the time of issuing the Policy, the Debtor, on whose Life an Assuratic;l has been effected, is entitled to go to, or reside in any part of the world, without in. validating the Assurance; by which means the Creditor's claim is rendered certain. To enable a party to effect an Assu,rance at the LEAST POSSIBLE EXPENSE, and to entitle him to discontinue it at a less sacrifice than by an other plan, a seven years' Half premium system has been introduce-., and, upon comparing the following scale with any other which has been devised for reducing presect payments, it will be seen how much more economically a loan tran , action can be fortified by this lind of policy than by any other. The I-Wt . -premium system pos se-ses a further advantage over temporary Assurances, or those for a Term of Years, from the Assured having the option of continuing for Life the Policy which he tray have procured for a mere temporary purpose.

(From Anthony White. E.g., Parliament-street. one of the Council, and late President of the Royal College of Surgeons.) . . . I can with much - satisfaction recommend to the public the boot or shoe which is denominated " Impilia." Its peculiar advantages over all other boots or shoes are, that it is imp.r viab:e to wet and damp, and always gives an agreeable and onstant warmth to the feet ; is also elastic, and is admirably adapted to tender and criptled feet from gout or other maladies. April 6, 1842. ANTHONY WHITE. (From Dr. Paris, of Dover-street, Londt:n.) I have examined and worn with comfort and satisfaction shoes constructed with intermediate soles of felt, to which you have bestowed the name " Impilia." They undoubtedly pos sess an elasticity and capacity of adaptation to the form of the foot not possessed by ordinary shoes, and they have the rare merit of not creaking. They are, moreover, warm and dry, and I am not able to discover any objection to their use on the score of health. J. A. PARIS, M.D. (From J. G. Andrews, Esq. St. Helen's-place,one ofthe Coun cil, and late President of the Royal College of Surgeons.) I have worn for some time the new patent boots, called " Im pilia," with much comfort and satisfaction. I find the boots possess great elasticity, evenness of pressure, and I am enabled to walk a greater distance without inconvenience. April 20, 1842. J. G. ANDREWS. (From Dr. Roots, Russell-square, London.) Dear Sir,—l have new worn for some time a pair of boots with intermediate sales, which you term " Impilia." They are admirably adapted for the case and comfort of tender feet, and the elasticity of their tread is very pleasant. I can with con fidence recommend them for general use, while for medical men they possess the very are advantdge of not creaking, and consequently are so desirable in a sick room. W. Baker, Esq.. April 25, 1842. H. S. ROOTS, M.D. (From Dr. Hodgkin, Lower Brook -street, London. ) H:.ving not only examined, but put to the proof of experience, the patent soles invented by m y f r i en d William Baker, M.R. C. S., and termed " Impilia," I have no hesitation in say ing that they are a very decided improvement on the common method of construction. They are not only much more agreeable to the sole of the fool, but promote a warm and uni form temperature as well as freedom from damp, whether en tering from without or derived from the feet. It may not be amiss to observe that, to obtain the full benefit of this improve ment, it is essential that the pernicious distortion of the foot, so generally inflicted by the shoemaker, should becarefully avoided 30-4, 1842- Thom.% s HODGKIN, M.D. (From John C. Taunton, Esq., M. R. C. S. , 48, Plat ton -garden. ) I have worn with satisfaction the boots with the interned ate soles of " Impilia." They appear to me to possess advantages over boots of the usual construction. They are worn with more comfort, adapt themselves better to the form of the foot, and are impervious to wet. JOHN C. TAUNTON. May 2, 1842. THURSDAY'S SALE. This sale closed yesterday, at Mr. George Robins's rooms, with Walpole's collection of the works of William Hogarth.

Dodd. THE COINAGE.-PIX JURY. The Jury of the Pix, which assembled on Wednesday, were occupied until nearly six o'clock in witnessing the assay of the different coins of the realm. At the conclusion they pro ceeded to the residence of the Lord Chancellor, in Great George street, Hanover-square, and delivered the f;llowing verdict to his Lordship : " That they, the Jury, found, in one or two instances, a slight deviation from the weight prescribed, but it was within the allowance made in the Mint Indenture, bearing date April 17." The Lord Chancellor then ordered the verdict of the Jury to be recorded in the usual form. The Foreman of the Jury said he was requested to call his Lordship's attention to the fact, that the scales which had been used during the assay were supplied by the Mint. He and his brother Jurymen had no doubt those scales were in all respects perfect and correct, but they were supplied by the Mint. The Jury were of opinion it would be more satisfactory to the public if they were supplied by some responsible officer of the Crown not connected with that department. In making these remarks, he begged to repeat, that they had no reason far a single mo ment to think but that the scales were in every way lair and just; but, as the Matter of the Mint was on his trial, the Jury considered it their duty to call his Lordship's attention to the fact of the scales being supplied by the Mint. The Jury then complained of the inconvenience to which they had been subjected for want of room, whilst employed in discharging an important public duty. The Lord Chancellor, after carefully listening to the state ments of the Foreman, said he was glad the Jury had made the remarks they had done respecting the scales. The pro priety of having them furnished from another quarter was evident, although it could not be supposed for a moment but that they were correct. The subject should be attended to. With respect to the accommodation, he must say that he thought a more convenient place of making the assay might be found. The verdict was recorded, and the Jury retired. A new gold coinage, it is said, will shortly be issued. A Railroad Company has been formed chiefly by the King of Naples and Grand Duke of Tuscany, for a railroad between Naples and Florence Cevita Vecchia. The Com pany will require million's sterling-worth of English rails. titg _Snit LONDON? FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 24, 1842. The House of Commons was last night almost ex clusively occupied with the affairs of Affghanistan. Mr. H. C. BAILLIE, in moving for further papers on the subject, condemned the policy of the late Ministry ' for invading that country. His views were seconded by Mr. D'ISRAELI, who did not suffer the oppor tunity of attacking Lord PALMERSTON and his foreign policy to escape. The task of defending the Whigs naturally fell to Sir JOHN 110131101:SE, who, in their Administration, precided over the affairs of India. It was the general opinion that he executed this task successfully, and made out a far better case for the Indian Govern ment—relying on the authority of its agents, and supposing their representations to be the fitting guide of its policy—than was supposed possible. Lord JOCELYN followed Sir J. HonnousE without replying to him, and then Mr. Hoco made a fervent and energetic speech against the Affghan war, while ' he declared that he regretted the motion was brought forward at a time when there should be no indulgence in declamation, but when the energies of the country should be put forth to punish the foulest perfidy, and avenge the most atrocious murder. Sir 11. PEEL &fleeted to producing the papers moved for ; they referred to several unpleasant matters in which Russian agents had been involved, and as we arc at present on the best of terms with Russia it would be wrong to run the risk of reviving past dif ferences. Lord PALMERSTON defended the policy of the late Government, and concluded an able speech by expressing an opinion that we had now regained our superiority in Affghanistan, and by declaring that he should hear with reluctance of our troops spreading the ravages of war over that country, if we were not to keep it as a barrier for our Indian empire. The debate was on the whole satisfactory, as evincing in all our statesmen a proud conviction that great Britain haS nothing to fear for her supremacy in India, as well as a determination to maintain it. Sir ROBERT PEEL said England could, he believed, retain that em pire, though Russia and Prussia were not in alliance with her, and in despite of all efforts to wrest it from her hands. He drew hope and energy from the pa tient endurance of Sir ROBERT SALE and from the heroism of Sir ROBERT SALE'S lady. To her it seemed beautifully complimentary to hear the Prime Minister of England, at the 3istance of 10,000 miles, drawing from her letter and her energy his hopes of the pre servation of our Indian empire. Her courage inspired our statesmen with energy. It is melancholy, indeed, to reflect that Lady SALE may never hear of the ho nour conferred on her, but should she have been pre served, it will be a rich reward of which she could never dream. In the end Mr. BAILIE withdrew his motion. It cannot be for one moment doubted or denied that the law in England, generally speaking, is fairly and impartially administered. Justice is tempered with mercy. it is very rare that undue severity, not pre scribed by the law, is complained of. More frequently the complaint is that criminals receive too much leniency, and the law iz not rigidly enough enforced. This is a truth which ought now to be remembered. Neither is the Government, in respect to political opinions, Or political opponents, severe. We speak not of the Tory Administration, or the Whig Admi nistration, but of the general character latterly of the Administration in the hands of both parties.

LADVEKTISEMENT.I IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe ' s Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only throughout the United King•lom, but throughout the civilised wnrld, that any enconium on its merits might appear super fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London ; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehouses in every province of the United Kngdorti. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the ecnsequent de mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against whajeli Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the Public The deception referred to is that of passing off a spuriatia article for " Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the Me tier water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the la . ter is prejudiced by 'the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legiti.t ate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the three kingdoms ; tier is the demand for their Soda Water less constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the Eat and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually transmitting orders received from their respective a gents and correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony _PithE;xsspivie:raltlnkosnrdaoewnrdns for r at no other Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the high condition in which it is generally found.

N.B. executed on the shortest notice. The Marseilles Journals of the 13th inst. give an account of a severe thunder storm, which visited that place on the afternoon of Saturday last. The electric fluid struck the barracks of La Corderie, but without causing any real damage, and passed . ..rough the room of a house in which fire persons were sitting, without injuring either of them. In the port, a Brae:li an vessel was struck, but received no ot h er injury than the fracturing of a top-mast. Near the Moulin de St. Louis, the fluid struck three men who were at work; tee, of th em were not much injured, but the third appeared for s ,me time to be dead, and when he returned to life, it was found that all his limbs were horribly contrac t ed. A dreadful calamity oc curred in the roadstead. Nine persons, who were in a boat, on a fishing excursion, were en d e avouring to reach the land, as the storm was increasing in violence every niorcero., when the boat was struck by lightning, and five, out of the nine persons on board were killed. The boat having taken fire, the other four must have been drowned, if some fishermen had not put off to their assistance. During the storm the rain fell at intervals in such abundance, that the city and its vicinity were almost inundated. 'or iSscibtwleesPsPe's / "L/ //1 ~~`~2~~~~ - erring man is not, and another undeserving man is, rewarded ; the distribution of patronage cannot please the disappointed ; but when that is nearly all that ever is or can be urged, we are bound to con clude that the Executive Government is mild, honest, and impartial. Nor is there much to complain of in the adminis tration of affairs in other respects, in which, perhaps, the law lays down no rules. Peace has latterly been preserved under difficult circumstances, both at home and abroad, without any extraordinary means: The army is in a good condition; the navy is safficient for all present useful purposes; the police is effective; the magistracy are vigilant; and all the functions of the Executive are diligently performed.. If there be aught to complain of, it is that the Government meddles too much, though its motive's be humaae. We desiderate, too, that the Government should trouble itself less about other nations ; but with these exceptions, the Executive Government not only administers the law firmly and impartially, but where its discretion is re lied on it acts discreetly and prudently. Though this is a fair description of the Executive Government, and completely exonerates her MAJEATY from all blame on account of the condition of the people, the Government, considered as a whole, is ne vertheless responsible for the terrible calamities which now oppress the lower classes. In truth it combines both the legislative and the executive powers, and it is by making laws, not by executing them, that h ceases these evils. The thebry of our Constitution is the complete separation of the legislative from the execu tive powers (and many fine sentences have' been turned to show that the Constitution would he over thrown when the Legislature was more corrupt than the Executive) ; but the practice of our Constitution is to unite both the legislative and executive powers in the hands of the same Minister. The instant he ceases to control the Legislature he is obliged to resign his post as Minister. Sir ROBERT PEEL, tor example, and his Cabinet, are exclusively the authors of the Income-tax, the present Corn law, and the Tariff; and they will carry these laws into execution. We re peat, therefore, as a truth of some importance, that the executive power in England executes the laws' fairly and honestly, and it is the legislative powek placed in the hands of the same Ministers who wield the executive power, by which the -evils we suffer are caused. It would be inexcusable, in fact, in any Minister who can govern the Houses of Parliament, to strive after any end without their sanction. Why should he be a tyrant against law, when he can clothe his will, be it what it may, with the solemn s6netion of the • law ? Why, for example, should he summon the Lon don bankers, and compel them, on pain of imprison ment, or banishment, or death, to give him any sum he requires—as the Grand Vizier calls to him the Ar menians of Constantinople—when he can, by means of an obsequious Howe of Commons, procure a laW to make every man give him 3 per cent. of his income 1' Or why should he trouble himself, like a celebrated Ca liph, to visit his city at night to notice that order is observed, and put an end to licentiousness, .whets he can, from apparently the best motives, proeure a law to close all public-houses at any hour he thinks fit ? It is not the executive, th e r e f ore , it i s th e legislative • power—it is the law itself, not the mode of adminis tering it, which is, we conclude, the source of the public unhappiness. The complaints of the people, at present s consist' tently with our remarks, are not directed against the throne, nor against the Ministers as the servants of the throne, but against class legislation. The laws are faulty, whether they be the offspring of sordid selfishness or of ignorance. 'The Monarch and the mo narchical power are the creatures of the laws, and, to produce prosperity and happiness in the oommunity, the laws must be amended. That we should imme diately have better laws by enlarging the basis of the constituency, and new forming the Legislature, we are not prepared to say ; but when we find the bulk of the people sunk in poverty and 'wretchedness, we are driven to the conclusion that even the mob could not make more injurious laws than those which •now • exist. We are somewhat afraid, while the notion is encouraged that every possible evil can be repressed or cured by laws, that, by recasting the Legislature, we should rather effect change than ensure improve ment. It is now plain that there are too many laws, and that a Legislature, consisting of a great body of ac tive, busy, stirring men, such as the two Houses of Parliament, or such as we should have under any more popular mode of constructing it, must add to the evil. For this prurient desire to encumber the statute-book with new regulations, which is only a mode of one man meddling with the affairs of an other•, we confess we know no remedy ; but we hope something from the conviction of their inutility, which experience will bring. We shall only hint further, that laws to protect rights, to do justice be tween man and man, are very different from lawi to regulate trade. It has been often demonstrated that. trade has laws of its own, while the passions of man require to be regulated and subdued. Though it may be necessary, therefore, f3r the lawgiver to prescribe and enforce the duties of man to man, for him to regulate trade is mere , surplusage. It is a wanton interference with that which natare has ordained and regulates, by establishing different climates, and adapting different countries to different productions. When we are able to keep the law maker from interfering with trade, however the Legislature may be composed, we shall h.are obtained. the means to relieve the statute .book of a vast num ber of unnecessary laws. THE TARIFF,—The Customs Bill has received in • Committee four additional clauses, three of which are important. Clause B declares that all manufactures of Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, or Man, made of foreign mate terials liable to a duty when imported, shall be con sidered for the purposes of duty as the produce of, and hr.- ported from a foreign country. Manufacturers of Arlen and cotton in the Isle of Man are exempt. Clause C establishes a drawback for foreign rough rice when ex ported which shall have paid duty on entrance. Tho drawback is to be equal to one-fourth of the duty paid on the rough rice. Clause I) gives a considerable ad vantage to the holders of foreign corn in bond, by allow inn a certain per centage for waste. On wheat, barley, and rye, kept in bond o e month and less than three months, 14 per cent. is allowed ; three months and !me than six, 2 per cent ; six months and less than twt ( lve, 24; twelve months and upwards, 3 per cent. On oats the allowance is, one month and less than three, 2i per cent.; three months and less than six, 3 pt r cent ; six and less than twelve, 4.1, ; twelve and upwards, 5 per cent. On Spanish wheat, barley, and oats, and wilco% and barley kiln dried abroad, the allowance is only one half ; on rye kiln dried there is no allowance. This regulation will render the owners of corn liable to pay less duty on dm quantities they hold by the per centag..3 we have mentioned, according to the length of time it has been warehoused. No such regulation we believe previously existed, and it will confer a groat advantage on the corn dealers. The Memorial de Rouen, in order to show the in jury done to the French linen trade by the increased amount of the imports of English threads and cloths, quotes the following as the imports received at the Rouen custom-house only the first five mouths of 1841, the quantity of linen threads imported amounttd to 1,235,000 kilogrammes, and, in the corresponding period of 1842, to 2,177,000 kils. The quantity of linen cloths in the tire months of last year, was 7,440 kits., and of the present year, 124,089 kils., so that, says the Memorial, the quantity of thread has been doubled within the year, and that of cloths has been increased seventeen times. The exports from the same port ,have, on the contrary, diminished, for, during the first five months of 1841 the quantity of thread exported amounted to 81,100 kils., whereas, in the present year, it has only amounted to 1,880 kils. THE EARTHQUAKE KS ST. Dostiseo.—\Ve have received further interesting particulars of the late extraordi nary earthquake. It was felt on the 7th ult. at Jeremie, but no damage sustained. The water changed from four to six feet in the course of a few minutes. Whether the ride rose and fell, or the island settled, and resumed its position again, and proeuced that effect, was subject of much speculation. The destruction of Cape Haytien was complete, only two buildings left standing. The earthquake happening on a market day, great numbers of persons were in the city from the ceuntrv, together with mules, so that the loss of life was greater. It vas thought that 4,000 persons perished, besides great numbers of mules and other animals, and such was the stenek arising from suth a m,ss of dead bud es, that no persrn could long re. main in the place. lt is said that Port au Platt was entirely destroyed, though but few lives were lost.
