To be empowered by Act of Parliament. Capital £500,000 Sterling, in 20,000 Shares at £25 each. Deposit £2 lOs. per Share. Every description of Assurance may be effected, either with or without participation in profits. Premiums may be paid yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly. LOANS ARE GRANTED IN AMOUNTS OF FIFTY POUNDS AND UPWARDS, on real or personal soecurity, to individuals assuring their live; with this Association. Prospectuses, and all further information, may be I:.btained by applying to ADOLPHUS COURVOISIER, Secr,t•tary. Application for the Remaining, Shares and Agenciets, to be made to the Secretary. The following is the PROSPECTUS already publf:shed : Experience has established the value and important t of Life Assurance to all classes of the community; and the p eosperity attending the institutions of this nature, which have already been founded, incontestibly proves the soundness of the . princi ples upon which its calculations are based. But the system of Life Assurance, however valuals!te to the members of Ihe community in general, as affording th e means of either entirely providing for, or of greatly enlarging • the re sources of their families after death, may yet be rep rded as more immediately and especially beneficial to those persons who are wholly dependent upon their own exertions; for sup. port, or who have only a life-interest in the property t hey pos sess. It is valuable also, inasmuch as it enables individuals with fixed incomes, (from whatever source derived, whether from Government or other situations, or from pensit ►ns or an nuities for lives), to perpetuate them to their representatives —offers entire indemnity to creditors against loss by t he demise of debtors—secures the continuance of leases determin :able upon lives, and renewable by fine—attaches responsibility tu personal security, thereby assisting individuals to obtain such t E smporary aid, by way of loan, as may be necessary for conduct ing their business, or the fulfilment of their engagements—ant;:cipating, and altogether providing against the inconvenience at id injury often occasioned by the withdrawal of capital from ba isiness on the death of a partner. In short, it is available to p. arsons in every profession, trade, office, and circumstance; ai:id, under all the modifications, and constantly occurring varieti E s of con tingent interests, dependent upon the duration of life , Nevertheless, strange to say, but very few person s have hi therto availed themselves of the inestimable benefits v ►hich Life Assurance is so well adapted to bestow=their nun, ber being only about 88,000 out of the vast population of ti: to United Kingdom. It is, therefore, evident that an ample fiel ri remains open for the exertions of a new Company of a simila r charac ter. Moreover, it must be evident that if stieh Corn, pany can, irrespective of the advantages usually proffered by the Societies already established, and without risk to the interest is either of the Proprietors or of the Assured, propose other ben *fits highly useful and important to both, it must safely and s uceessfully enter into competition with the existing Institution s with full confidence in the support of the public. Of the large profits which have been derived by t he Share noldcrs in some of the principal Assurance Compare. Es, an idea may be formed by the perusal of the following sh ort Table, which has been compiled from the most authentic sources; and, from this, it must be manifest, that a Company - which, in addition to the ordinary business of Life Assurance,, embraces also the business of a Loan Bank to the Assured, will, if ably conducted, offer to the Capitalist a secure and pro Auetive in vestment, without trouble or the danger of pecuniar2r loss.

This mode of employing the capital of the Association, is the adoption of means for augmenting the number of lives assuresi, and of greatly in creasing the profits beyond those of a Life Assuranc e Company only. And this will be found one of the must valuable prin ciples of Assurance, on account of its capability of being ap plied immediately and permanently to the benefit of the As sured himself, whilst living, as well as to others after decease. Individuals possessing real or personal property, Officers in the Army or Navy, Clergymen, P rofessional men, :Merchants, Tradesmen, and persons of respectability and character, may, if assured with this Association, obtain advances for pe rinds very ing from Three Months to any other agreed period, in amounts of 501. and upwards, upon either real or personal se.:.urity, to be approved of by the f)irectors, including the security of Policies effected by parties with this Association, according to their value at the time of the Loan. The Directors ark! persuaded that by combining confidence with caution, and ca trying fairly and liberally into effect this comprehensive systei nof Loan in connexion with Life Assur ance, they will not only consult the permanent prosperity of the Association, but at the same time rentler- the Institution signally beneficial to the great mass of the community. Having thus preinised the General objects of the Associa tion, it is necessary briefly to state, THE REGULATIONS OF THE COMPANY. A Deed of Settle; nent will be forthwith prepared for reght lating the affairs of the Association, and for limiting the re sponsibility of the S'aareholder, until either an Act of Parlia ment or a Charter may be obtained ; such Deed to be settled and approved by Counsel. The Capital of the Association shall consist of Five Hundred Thousand Pounds, divided into 20,000 Shares, of 251. each. The Deposit is 21. IC is. per Share; which, it is expected, will be sufficient to obviat e the necessity of any further call ; and Interest at the rate o f Five per Cent. per Annum will be al lowed upon all Depos its from the time of payment into the Bank of the Associat ion. • The Accounts shall be audited yearly. The original Dire actors and Auditors shall remain in office five years ; after which time Three Directors and one Auditor will retire annually ; but will be eligible for re-election. Any vacancy which may occur in the interim, either among the Directors or Auditors, will be filled up by the remaining Directors. A Special General Meeting of Proprietors shall be convened by public Advertisement in the month of July, 1847, and afterwards annually, t. 3 receive a Report of the progress of the business of the Cumpa;ny, and an account of such other matters as the Directors may d eem it proper to submit to them.

To Naval and Military Officers, at home and abroad, every facility will be given for effecting Assurances on their lives. Ladies and others, to whom it may be inconvenient to ap pear at the Office, will be visited at their residences by a Me dical Officer of the Institution. The business of this Office also embraces Assurances on Survivarships ; the granting and purchasing of Annuities, im mediate, deferred, or Survivorship, the purchase of Contingent" and Reversionary Property; the endowment of Widows and Children ; and the advancing of Money, on Annuity, Mort age, and other available Securities. The annexed Rates of Premium are as moderate as consis tent with perfect security. They are constructed on the prin ciple of affording to the Assured the option of either securing a fixed Sum, or of having it increased by a participation in the Profits. Assurances may also be effected by a single payment, by a payment for a number of years certain, or by any other mode 'as may meet the views of the Assured : and the Premiums may be paid either yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly, at pro portionate Rates. Attendance mill be given daily at the Office, from Ten to Four o'Clock, where Assurances may be effected, and Lem granted without delay. No Charge will be made on parties assuring, under the head of entrance-money, admission-fee, or otherwise, beyond the Stamps for the Policy. As the most scrupulous care will be taken at the time of ef fecting the Assurance, in making all proper inquiries, no As surance, when once completed, will afterwards be queitioned or disputed, except in cases of manifest fraud or misrepresentation. Policies assigned for bona fide considerations will not become void by death from suicide, duelling, or the hands of justice ; and in cases where Policies shall not have been so assigned, a discretionary power, founded upon the most liberal coniidera tion, is vested in tha Directors to return to the Widow or Chil dren of the assured the whole, or any part of the Premiums paid. All Claims on the Company in respect of Assurances will be paid within three calendar months after satisfactory proof of the death of the party, or immediately after such proof on the allowance of discount.

A DAVIS, Sponge Merchant and Brush CX.• Manufacturer, by Special Appointment to her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, their Graces the Dukes of Somerset, Northumberland, Argyle, and Montrose, the Dow ager Duchess of Bedford, and numerous families of distinction, 33, Strand, begs to acquaint the Nobility and Gentry that he has succeeded in constructing a Tooth-brush upon a new prin ciple, which for the preservation of the teeth and gums and du rability, excels any ever yet offered. The fastening is composed of corded silk and India rubber, by which it is impossible for the hairs ever to come loose in the mouth ; they are the only kind that can be warranted from corroding ; persons frequently get bad teeth and gums from these causes, the corrosion being poison to the breath, and cancer to the gums. Families in town and country supplied carriage free, with every kind of sponges, brushes, brooms, turnery, mats, horse clothing, blankets, lea thers, and every requisite for the use of houses and stables, of the very best quality at wholesale prices, 40 per cent. under any other house in England.

ADECIDED CASE of CONSUMPTION RADICALLY CURED by PARR'S LIFE PILLS. " TO THE PROPRIETORS. " GENTLEstErr,—I feel it a duty I owe to you and to the Public at large, to acknowledge the most important benefit I have received from PARR'S LIFE PILLS. I was for nine years a soldier in the 52d Regiment of Foot, and was discharged in October 1839, in consequence of ill health (being deemed con sumptive), after having the best advice her Majesty's service afforded. I returned to my native town, feeling that my days could not be long on earth. But by what almost appears an in terposition of Providence, my attention was directed to Parr's Life Pills, and by taking only two 2s. 98. boxes, I was com pletely cured, and am thus a living monument to the good ef fected by this valuable medicine. Within the last few days I have been on a visit to some of my friends in a neighbouring village, where I was told that It was like seeing one risen from the dead, to see me walking through their streets.' I have recommended them to my neighbours, and many of them have experienced very great benefit from their use. " I am, Gentlemen, yours, &c. JOHN OSBORNE. " March 8, 1841. Witness—James Burgess, Bookseller, Hinckly." Mr. John Osborne's case was pronounced by the regimental doctors to be incurable consumption. By the aid of this won derful medicine he is now so hearty and active as to be en abled to travel on foot, since the date of his recovery, upwards of 1,200 miles. CAUTION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE. Purchasers are requested to ask for " Parr's Life Pills," as their great and deserved reputation, and consequent large sale, have induced several unprincipled parties to attempt various imitations. Persons who are desirous of testing the wonderful efficacy of this medicine, must observe that none are genuine without the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS be engraved on the Government Stamp, on white letters on a red ground. Already actions have been brought, and damage; obtained, against unprincipled parties, who, for the sake of larger gain, have sold dangerous preparations when asked for " Parr's Life Pills." The Proprietors are determined to protect the public from such frauds, by prosecuting all persons engaged either in preparing or selling any imitation whatever. Sold by most respectable Medicine Venders in Town arid Country; to be had wholesale of Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, London, in Boxes, Price Is. lid., 2s. ad., and family boxes I Is. each.

THE ONLY GENUINE PECTORAL BALSAM OF HONEY, for Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, Ike. Invented by Sir JOHN HILL, M.D. Sir John Hill, who was a very eminent Physician, recommended this excellent preparation as the most salutary and effectual remedy for all disorders of the Breast and Lungs : and many years' experience has confirmed the recommendation in the immediate relief and gra dual cure of Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, and Consumptions. It is the greatest preserver of the Lungs ever discovered, and contains all the healing, softening, and soothing qualities of that salubrious extract of FLOWERS, called HONEY. Professional Gentlemen do not hesi tate to recommend it, as it never disagrees with the Stomach, and common Colds, in most cases, yield to its beneficial e&cts in a few hours. Price 3s. 6d. and 2s.

THE finest System of Ethics is to confine with in due bounds, and thus to regulate the Passions, which unrestrained and insubo&inate, impetuously destroy those barriers which Religion and Morality have made sacred; to curb, but not annihilate them, appears the lesson of prudence best calculated to limit their effervescence. Every disorganization of the human frame requires great medical knowledge to remedy, and the public welfare is promoted when pro fessional men (disregarding the suggestions of the envious and inte rested) devote their studies to the treatment of those complaints ge nerated by imprudence and the ebullition of the passions at an un. guarded moment: " The strength of a nation consists in the health of the people ;" but it is melancholy . to reflect on the daily sacrifice to the ignorant and unfeeling empyncism, and to counteract, as far as possible, its further ravages, we offer to suffering humanity the result of our own experience in the various disea. es of Debility. The unwary victim of solitary vice (early acquired at school, before rea son has asserted her right over the mind), will, in contemplating his powerless state, become susceptible of enlivening sensations, in know ing that the most complicated state of exhaustion may be roused into manly energy. Intense study—immoderate anxiety—long resi dence in tropical Climes, and many other causes, will frequently de. range the Nervous System; in such cases we can hold out an as. surance of re-animation, by a treatment which has long answered the sanguine hopes of Patients of both sexes. That bane to human happiness, SYPHILIS, can now be treated fearlessly, the improved state of Medical Science having divested its antidote of those distressing properties that so long rendered its ex hib.ti 1 , 1 uncer'ain and harrassing Some peculiarities incidental to the so.ter sex have not escaped our attention ; in which mildness, combined with efficacy, has superseded the means usually adopted. In fine, our system is unique, peculiarly energetic, and eminently successful: Daily attendance is given for personal consultation; and letters from the country are immediately answered; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicines, which can be forwarded to y part of the world, however distant .

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic en the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain clasi3 of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided att ention to this department of medical practice. The numberl ess instance s daily occurring, whersin lungs, putting on all th e ou t er appearances of however, when tra ce d t o t h e i r source, certain baneful p ract i ces, f u l ly proves the o division of lab our, i s nowhere more ta a hr ff ea e tc consumption,t i the o ti founds principleot o f t r h ew e s uh l l i u tco n hff ; applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in which, for want of careful saying that there is no member •f society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining itsof rsoemalecdaulssef: away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence'what is called pulmonary consumption, t down to the score of investiga tion o f con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what been se heart disease, takes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will hero be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; h e will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

THE LONDON JOINT STOCK BANlL—Wed nesday the Half-yearly General Meeting of the Share holders of this Company took place at the Offices, in Prince's-street, Bank, and was well attended. The chair was taken by George Scholefield, Esq., who stated the objects of the meeting were to receive the Directors' report, for the election of five Directors, and the declara tion of a dividend on the Company's stock for the half year. In consequence of the illness of the Secretary, the Chairman read the report, from which it appeared that the paid-up capital now is 589,7001., and that the Directors have thought it advisable to complete the issue of the whole 60,000 shares, the remaining 1,030 of which were to be sold in the market. The accounts showed a net profit on the half year ending the 31st of December, of 25,9231. 14s. 3d., from which a dividend for the half year, after the rate of 61. per cent. per annum, was re commended, which would amount to 17,6911., leaving 8,232/. 14s. 3d. to be carried to the profit of the guaran tee fund, which now amounts to 81,731/ is. Bd. The Chairman moved that the report be adopted, which was seconded by Sir George Carroll, and carried unanimously. The four Directors who retired were then re-elected. and John Timothy Oxley, Esq., who was recommended by the Directors, was elected a Director, in the place of Sir Francis Palgrave, resigned. A vote of thanks was passed to the Direction, and to Mr. Pollard, the manager, after which the meeting adjourned. FIRE IN WHITECHAPEL.--01 1 Wednesday evening, about a quarter before nine, an alarming fire broke out in the extensive manufactory of Mr. Bartruns, coach and omnibus builder, St. Mary's-street, White chapeL The first alarm was given by a policeman on duty near the spot, who instantly despatched messengers to the various fire engine stations. The premises were built entirely of wood, and, from this circumstance as well as from the inflammable nature of the materials con tained in them, the flames spread with great rapidity. The parish engine was first on the spot, and was quickly followed by several others, when a good supply of water being obtained, the firemen exerted themselves in a most praiseworthy manner, and before ten o clock all fears for the surrounding property were at an end, the manufac tory being entirely destroyed. The workmen employed at Mr. Bartrum's left the premises at eight o'clock, when all was supposed to be safe. The building and stock were insured.

DISCUSSION ON THE ADDRESS. TUESDAY, JAN. 11.—At two o'clock the Duke de Bro glie took the chair. Messrs. Guizot, Humann, and the other Ministers were present. After some preliminary proceedings, -and the swearing in of several lately appointed Peers, M. Merilhou read to the Chamber the following Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne : " Sire,—The Chamber of Peers is happy to offer to your Majesty the accustomed tribute of its respect and devotedness. " The questions which had excited in the East the solicitude of France, have reached their term. Your Majesty has signed a Convention, consecrating the com mon intention of the Powers to maintain the peace of Europe. We indulge the hope expressed by your Ma jesty, that this Convention will contribute to consolidate the repose of the Ottoman empire. " Your Majesty has ordered important reductions in the public burdens. Nevertheless, those diminutions have not sufficed to establish between the receipts and expenditure, a balance as necessary as it is universally desired. This balance we shall labour to obtain without reducing our military forces below the standing which the safety and dignity of France require, and without adjourning the execution of the works which are claimed by the country. " We shall examine with interest the project of law, which your Majesty announces to us, for the establish ment of a grand system of railroads. The Chamber of Peers knows that the facility and promptitude of the communications between the different parts of the king dom are sources of power and wealth. It will always receive with eagerness all the projects which your Ma jesty may order to be presented to it with a view to mul tiply and improve the means of communication of every description, as much :as the financial resources of the country will permit. "The extension of the commercial relations of France is the object of the solicitude of your Majesty. Nego tiations have been opened by your orders. Your high wisdom does not lose sight of the necessity of maintain ing the protection secured to our national industry by a legislation which guarantees the security of our agricul tural and manufacturing interests, and has so powerfully contributed to increase the wealth and prosperity of France. " We are delighted to hear from the month of your Majesty the expression of your confidence in the dura tion of peace. France, who would be ready to submit to every sacrifice in order to support her dignity, considers an honourable peace to be the greatest of blessings. " The consolidation of the French dominion in Algeria will be the work of time, perseverance, and courage. That land, which the valour of our soldiers has conquered and defended, and where the princes, your sons, have so often braved death and given the example of every military virtue, belongs to us by the right of victory, and will be attached to us by the blessings of civilization. Your Maje styever Fhraesnsch., said, Algeria shall remain henceforth and for " The Chamber of Peers will attentively examine the projects of law which will be brought before it in the name of your Majesty. " Sire, it is but too true that criminal machinations, and daring attempts, always defeated by Providence but as often repeated, still cheek the progress of France and of her powerful activity, and retard the development of the beneficial fruits of that liberty which has been con quered at the price of so many labours and perils. Ne vertheless the slow but certain action of justice, the strict execution of the laws, the co-operation and union of the great powers of the State, the zeal of all good citizens, will maintain entire the sacred deposit of order and of public liberties. The happiness and re pose of France are the .objects of the dearest wishes of your Majesty ; future generations will reap the fruits of your efforts and sacrifices, and posterity will preserve for ever their recollection." M. Merilhou having concluded, the Chamber decided that the discussion should forthwith commence. The Prince de la Moscowa, began by condemning the caution observed in the King's Speech and in the ad dress respecting the conclusion of the affairs of the East, which he disapproved, as -having been most sterile in results for France. The policy of Lord Palmerston to wards France had never been sincere. After the battle of Nezib the English Cabinet had openly evinced its deadly hostility against Mehemet Ali, and, finding that it could not change the sentiments of affection of France towards the Viceroy, it attached itself to revive the old hatred of the European Powers against her. Hence the conclusion of the treaty of the 15th of July. The Prince then recapitulated all the events which preceded and brought about the evacuation of Syria and the submission of Mehemet Ali, accompanying his narrative with ex presssions derogatory to the honour and sincerity of Great Britain, 14 . .h05e alliance he was certain M. Thiers now bitterly deplored. The Convention for closing the Straits had not been'a concession ; that Convention no wise secured the integrity of the Ottoman empire ; France had no direct interest in closing the Straits against the Russian fleet ; the measure, moreover, would not prevent Russia, whenever she thought proper, from landing her forces on the coast of Asia Mino r , or me- nacing — the Turkish capital. The Ministry evidently saw in that Convention a pretext for re-entering the Euro pean concert, and eagerly seized it, without heeding the humiliating consequences resulting to France from her accession to the Treaty of July. The Marquis de Boissy read a manuscript essay in fa vour of the address. He could not, however, help blam ing the conclusion of the treaty consecrating the right of search, and trusted that a convention, hailed by the Eng lish with so much exultation, had not been actually signed. The silence of the King's speech on the subject was a guarantee that it was a mere report. He then ex amined the policy of the Cabinet in respect of Spain, and perceived in the differences which had lately arisen be tween the two countries the intervention of England, ever zealous to create embarrassments for France. The Marquis de Boissy then indulged in violent recrimina tizins against Espartero, whom he accused of covetting the throne of Spain, and stigmatized in turn as an " un grateful wretch, a traitor, and an executioner." The revolutionists generally came in for a share of the Mar quis de Boissy's abuse. He afterwards reviewed the situa tion ofAlgeria, and recommended the grant of secret service money to the Governor-General to obtain by corrup tion what the force of arms was inefficient to achieve. As respected the system of internal government, he thought that Ministers were too lenient towards the factious, and urged them to resort to more energetic measures ; and if the jury and the press were an ob stacle in their way they should effectually shackle th em , for the sake of consolidating . the throne and soci e t y . M. de Boissy, in conclusion, declared against all reduc tion in the tariffs. As a friend of the Cabinet, he hoped that it had not signed with Belgium, which had only 4,000,000 of inhabitants, a treaty calamitous for France, which had 35,000,000. Some expressions of M. de Boissy, in which he described the Legitimatist party as possess ing five-eighths of the property in France, and th ere f ore able to overthrow the existing Government, should they form an alliance with the Republicans, were received with loud murmurs of disapprobation by the assembly, and, on the invitation of the President, he consented to modify his language. • M. Guizot rose in turn, and called on M. de Boissy to retract the offensive terms which he had used in speaking of a person invested, in a foreign and friendly country, with a portion of Royal power, which M. de Boissy re luctantly retracted. M. de Montalembert spoke next, and said, that al though a partisan of British alliance, and no friend to Mehemet Ali, he could not give his approbation to the mode in which the Eastern question had been concluded. He never, he said, considered the treaty of the 15th of July as a casus belli ; but he thought that France should not have re-entered the European concert, but should have continued in a position of armed isolation sooner than accede to that treaty. The Convention of the Straits was a mere complement of the Convention of July 15 ; it stipulated no concession to France, or any im provement is the condition of the Christian population of Syria, which had been from time immemorial accustomed to look up to France for protection. In reviewing the relations of the Cabinet with the Foreign Powers, M. de Montalembert defied M. Guizot to stand up and name a single nation in Europe whom he considered to be a faithful ally of Frame ; for his part, he thought that there did not exist a single one, large or small, in the whole world, upon whose friendship France could place the least reliance. Abandoning the foreign questions, M. de Montalembert pronounced himself to be a staunc h Conservative, and a partisan of the system of resistance. He would not call for new repressive laws, because he thought the existing le gislation sufficient to repress the Ragas of the fac tious against the " social citadel," which, he regretted to say, was violently shaken, and in imminent danger. He then proceeded to draw a sad picture of the political and religious condition of society in France. The dis credit into which all the institutions had successively fallen was no subject of astonishment for him, he said, in a country where virtue was every day traduced and held up to public contempt ; where calumny was merci lessly lavished on the most deserving characters ; where the tear of God and respect for religion were entirely extinct ; where the Sabbath was profaned, and the ex ample given by the constituted authorities themselves. (LEFT SPEAKING.) SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—It is perfectly mysterious to us how men can be found blessed with the impudence requisite to write as the Tory scribes do on " the factory system." The Post this morning exclaims, " Surely there is not much reason why they who have the good of the la bourer chiefly at heart should countenance a revolution in the present state of influences in England, in order to keep the manufacturing system from the decline which seems to threaten it. Surely it would be indeed madness' to sacrifice the employment of the agricul tural labourers, in order to give a fresh impetus to that system which produces labourers answering to the above description." The system which has produced what is evil in the state of the manufacturing population is the present system. No revolution is requisite in that sys tem to occasion a continual throwing off of the rural population on the towns. The system of regarding no thing but cultivation on a large scale, and high price for produce, is the system which crowds the towns with la bour which has no employment or encouragement on the land. The only question is, not whether this stream of labour shall still flow from the rural districts. With great landlords, and large farmers, and the whole economy of monopolist corn manufacture, that is in evitable. If farmers had cheap and plentiful bread to feed extra mouths withalif the old system of domes ticating labourers in farm-houses prevailed, many more labourers might be kept on the land than the present culture admits of. The true " sacrifice of agricultural labouiera" has been made by the present system. The restoration of steady abundance by aid of unchained eommerce, and the removal of the high pressure of the present system of landed monopoly, would be as great a boon to the race of agricultural labourers as to any other portion of the people whatever. Not for them are monopoly profits. Theirs is the hovel, the Union , workhouse, or the necessity to migrate to th e t owns . The alternative then is not between rural labour and town labour—but between town labour aided by capital, or town-labour unpaid and starved. The alter native is between the pauperism of Irish towns, or the employment of Leeds and Manchester. To contem plate coolly " the decline which seems to threaten the manufacturing system," is to contemplate coolly the failure of the sole prop which still supports vast masses of labour above the condition of band-loom weaving, or Irish indigence. STANDARD.—If clergymen are permitted, with out rebuke, to desert the doctrine of the Church, lay Churchmen will ask no permission to exercise an equal liberty to desert the Church which makes so little ac count of its doctrine. Let the Tractarians and their supporters, Romanists, candid:, or indifferent:, look to the inevitable consequences of their conduct at the ensuing Oxford election. They cannot make the people of England Romanists ; as well hope to bring them back to the grotesque and scarcely decent cos tume of the first century, as to the superstitions of the 15th. They cannot make the people of England Romanist ; but they can make Dissenters of all whom they shall convince that the Protestant Church of England is on the road to Rome, or even but trafficking with Romanism. As we have employed the epithet Protestant, let us here notice a pamphlet, by Mr. William Palmer, of Magdalen College, is defence of his former denunciation of the unhappy term. In one thing we are heartily agreed with Mr. Palmer ; he no doubt wishes his pamphlet to be, read, and we from the bottom of our huarts that the perusal of it should be universal. .I.‘:iesire o words of an adversary could paint the utter 'frivolity, the ignorance, and pretensions of the writer who is one of the leading champions of the Tr.,ctarian School, so strikingly as he exhibits them hktself. We will take an example or two at random. We must premise to our first extract an explanation that some sage, to whom Mr. Palmer addresses his letter, had submitted the following test, as decisive against the use of the word " Protestant :"—" I ask, whether he (an ultra Protestant) is prepared to alter the Apostles' Creed, and to rca 1, I believe in the holy Protestant Church ?' " This is a plain plagiary from the columns of the Standard. Some months ago we told of the argument of an Irish priest, who boasted, in proof that his was the true Church, of St. Paul's never having written an epistle to the Protestants, though Protes tents themselves were obliged to confess that he had written to the Romans (Romanists are frequently called Romans in Ir e l an d). S o says Mr. Palmer's wise correspondent—the Apostles left no profession of faith in the Protestant Church, which was to exist as a protesting Church fourteen centui les after them. COURIER.—The noble and " juvenile" Whig, ao lately relieved from the charge official of foreign rela tions, and happily consigned to the otiunt cum dignitate of the shades of Broadlands, still loves to wander, it appears, like an evil genius, about his former haunts in Downing-street, or in the Strand is to be found outpouring his maledictory imprecations against the master spirit by which he was expelled from the abode where he had long worked so much mischief to the people and reflected so much diecredit oa the Sovereign. Concerning the piece, now growing into fame, of Spa nish punctilio and ambassadorial etiquitte, enacting at Madrid betwixt a French civilian learned in the law on the one side, and a rough frank soldier of fortune, cognisant of little but the learning of camps, on the other, the unlaid ghost of Downing -street's former tenant thus delivers some strange revel oleos from a world and through a morning organ of its own :—" As a proof," says the sprite, " of what confidence the Spa nish Government placed in the British, we may men tion that the former applied to the latter to obtain, through the medium of tho English embassy in Paris, some delay in M. Salvandy's departure, a delay that might allow time for compromise. Lord Cowley, however, scouted the idea of giving support, or ob taining any time for the Spanish Government. It must submit to the pretensions of France, which were just, and which the British Government supported." Here it may be seed there is no halting hesita tion of manner which might lead to suspicion of facts forged or fancied for an occasion ; but on the reverse, the assertions are sported for truth with all the ease and all the impudence of an official roue, so habituated by half a century's persevering practice in public as to mistake his own fictions for facts, and his own crooked chicane for diplomatic dexterity. The want of real data on which to build a speculation, or the apprehen sion of dates destructive of his workmanship, no move incline him to pause in his operations than does subse quent detection and exposure disturb his equanimity. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—The Government broker resumed his ope rations in Consols in the course of the day. He again made sales, expressly for bank notes, to the extent of 200,0001., more or less, the effect of which would have been somewhat sensibly felt, had it not been for the counter operations entered into for time ; the bargain ing for the ❑ew Account (February 24th), being pretty considerable. The sales, however, cannot be said any longer to at tract the same attention of capitalists and others that they did in the first instance. The present healthy ap pearance of the Continental exchanges renders the pos sibility of the sales referred to being for account of the Bank of England quite out of the question ; so it is considered at least in the best-informed monetary cir cles. Were they, it is argued, on behalf of that esta blishment, the effect would have been a palpable strin gency in the money market out of doors, notwithstand ing the payment of the dividends now in progress. There seems to be no longer the least doubt that the daily sales making by the Government broker are strictly on Government account, whether it be in connection with the Savings' Banks (for this is still deemed likely) or otherwise, the effect of which on the circulation will be of no importance, and hence the growing indifference that is felt upon the subject. _ Considerable hate' est - has been excited in this part of the metropolis, as may be presumed to have been the case in others, and, in fact, throughout the king dom, by the information received during the.last two days from Paris, relative to a nest of forgers found to be carrying on their depredations on the Continent, and which appeared, in the first instance, exclusively in the Morning Post. Opinion is generally in favour of the supposition that the individuals who have been arrested by the French police are not the principal actors, but the mere subordinate agents in this new and extraordinary drama. It is, of course, considered highly desirable that the delinquents in chief should be bunted out, inasmuch as the crime of forgery is, in a commercial nation, the most formidable, perhaps, that could be named ; but, on the other hand, h is hoped that, if this cannot be accomplished, a sufficient know ledge of their proceedings has been obtained to put -aa effectual stop to the mischief. TIMES.—The Madrid letters dated on the 3d inst. are much occupied with the affair of the non-aceept ance of certain hills taken by the Government, and transmitted to London for the payment of the British Legion and other claims in the course of the last month and which became due on the 3d of March. It is stated that there were in all nine bills, amounting to about 20,000/., which were given by a mercantile house in Ma drid to the Spanish Government, and which they appro priated at once to various claimants - as 'so , much money certain to be paid when due. It is probable,lowever, as time, enough yet remains to make some other arrange ments, that the bills will still be honoured when at matu rity: The refusal to accept by the house of Gower and Co., upon whom they were drawn,: is said to have arisen merely from the party in Madrid having exceeded his credit with them, without previously announcing his in tention to do so ; and further, it is stated, that had a smaller sum been drawn for, this difficulty would not have arisen. Hence noimportance is a financial point of view is to be attached to the subject, and it does not in any way affect the credit of the Spanish Government though it is said that the Finance Minister, Surra y Rull, has expressed much annoyance at it. Every precaution seems to have been taken by the London house to pre vent this awkward occurrence, as they had an agent in Madrid who expressly gave warning to the merchant who drew the bills not to exceed his credit upon them, which he nevertheless disregarded. The sensitiveness of the Spanish Minister on the subject is not a bad omen for the British creditors generally, fox very little concern was manifested in former times -about such matters. It must be still a long time before Spanish credit is quite restored, but the present Government are at least much more punctilious about the fulfilment of engagements than any of their predecessors. ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE ICE• —Wednesday afternoon an inquest was held at the Car penters' Arms, Anne's-place, Hackney-road, before Mr. Baker, on the body of Henry Wooliams, aged 21, a shoe maker, of No. 4, Pearson-street, Kingsland-road. Frede rick Athen said that, in the afternoon of Sunday last, he went with the deceased to see some boys sliding upon a frozen pond by the side of the Regent's-canal, near Hackney-road. They went together on the ice at the margin of the pond, but seeing two boys playing several yards farther out, witness and deceased also ventured there. Some persons at the side told them that the ice was not strong enough to bear them, but deceased laughed and as he stamped with his foot, said he was not in dan.. ger. At that instant the ice gave wa/, and they were both immersed. Witness was recovered y the dr ags , b ut deceased, who was not found for five minutes afterwards was dead.
