He is to alter that scale thus:— At present, the duty on wheat at 50s. and ander 51s. is 365. Bd., and it increases ls. for every ls. the price of wheat falls. Sir ROBERT PEEL proposes when the price is under 51s. the luty shall be 205., and shall never be further in treased however low the price may fall. By the present scale the duty falls Is. for every Is. the price rises, till it reaches 675., when the duty, then - 205., ceases to slide, and leaps irregularly till it ends at is. when the price reaches 735., and so re mains. Sir ROBERT PEEL proposes that`the duty of 20s. when the price is•under 51s. shall fall Is. as-the price rises, till it reaches 535. Then he introduces a resting place in the scale, and the duty remains 18s. till the price reaches 555. As the price rises ls. above this, the duty falls ls. till the price reaches 675., when there is another resting place, and the duty remains at Os. till the price has got up to 19s. The duty then again falls Is. as the price rises Is., till the latter reaches 755., when the duty is to cease altogether. . Sir ROBERT PEEL praises the plan as likely to produce a greater steadiness of price. By avoiding the jumping of the present scale, when prices reach above 675., it will certainly enable the merchant to count with more certainty on his market. It will probably satisfy Mr. CRIPPS, by permitting him at times to bring returns from the United States. But this is its only merit. Men will endeavour still to evade the duty though the temptation will be somewhat lessened, and the bulk of the corn imported will be hereafter, as heretofore, at the lowest duty. The consequence will be that the average price under Sir ROBERT PEEL'S scale must be 755. before corn is imported, whereas now it is imported at 735., paying is. duty. We understand why a resting place is intro duced at 675., but we know no reason for intro ducing another at 555., except it be for uni formity. Sir ROBERT PEEL boasted of his duty not increasing beyond 205., which is mere idle talk, for the duty at that rate now is completely inoperative, and the higher duty might just as ivell be 1001. as 20s. He wished, he said, that the, price of wheat should be generally between 545. and 585., and he kindly proposes a duty on it at that price of 16s. Bd. In fact Sir R. PEEL'S plan is the poorest alteration we have yet seen proposed in the Sliding Scale. It was, accordingly, at once justly treated as a mockery by Mr. COBDEN. In ordinary and prosperous times it might have done, but to pro pose it now is like offering a perfume to a man at the point of, death from starvation. But not only is the scale a mockery , the speech which introduced it was a bitter, biting insult to common-sense, and to the starving people. Sir ROBERT PEEL, as the agent of the landowners, had the extraordidary pre sumption to stand up in the House of Commons, and contend that the distress of the people was not caused by the unjust legislation of which he is the advocate. He sought to throw the blame, which properly belongs to bad laws, on the strug gles of the manufacturers to keep themselves from sinking under the weight of his mischievous legislation. His petty alteration in the sliding scale might have been laughed at, as an index to the mean mind of Sir R. PEEL; but when all around him is groaning with agony, from the determination of the aristocracy to destroy the liberties and appropriate the property of the people by law, it is more, we believe, than human nature will bear, to have this man using his talents to exonerate the aristocracy and throw the blame of the mighty - mischief they have caused, on those who are honestly and honour ably seeking to gain a living for themselves, and to find employment and bread for others. It was terribly insulting, also, to hear Sir 11. PEEL introduce an elaborate, and yet unfounded, comparison between the labouring classes in England and Prussia, contending in substance that the former ought to be contented, because they are not worse off than the latter. Why did he not refer to the immense deal of wealth 1. which our labouring classes produce more than _ _ _ than the labourers of Prussia, of which the proof is the great number of persons who are maintained in idleness and opulence by their labour ? His statistics were both false and in- suiting; for the great number of our middle classes, and the domestic consumption of the agricultural classes in Prussia, which cannot be brought into the account, renders the ave rages of consumption, which he quoted, as worthless as his new scale. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech, worse than his trifling alteration , was a cold-blooded insult both to the suffering manufacturers and the still more suffering work: men ; and it will make a profound and general impression, unfavourable to the aristocracy of which he is the organ.

The principle upon which the business of this Office is con ducted, is that of affording TEMPORARY LOANS to per sons assuring their lives with the Association, upon terms cal culated with reference to the amount of the Assurance effected, and the nature of the security offered for their repayment. The Life Assurance and Loan Bank transactions are distinct. ADVANTAGES TO SHAREHOLDERS. It has been proved by the experience of other. Establishments founded on the same principles, that the mode before stated, of employing the capital of the Association may, if acted upon with judgment and propriety, be adopted, not only without risk, hat with the certainty of increasing the profits of the Shareholder to a degree far beyond that attainable by the ope rations of a Life Assurance Company only. The profits of the Loan Bank belong exclusively to the Shareholders, with the addition of a remunerating deduction from all Premiums paid monthly into the Dank. Interest at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum will be paid upon the Deposit half-yearly, and the Dividends upon the Profits of the Loan Bank declared annually, after the accounts are audited, in the month of January. ADVANTAGES TO ASSURERS. 1. A subscribed Capital, acting as a guarantee to the Policy- holders. 2. As no Loan is granted without an Assurance, a large amount of additional Assurances is obtained by a repetitioni of Loans ; and as a considerable proportion of the Policies will probably be dropped on repayment of the Loans when' the pur pose has been answered, the risks on those Assurances will then cease, and much profit accrue in consequence to the Policy-holders. 3. The Premiums received, after deductin g charges, are at the end of each month paid over to the Loan Rank, and inte rest immediately allowed thereon, so that the capital of the Policy-holders is always bearing interest. 4. The participating Policy-holders will, after the payment of Five Annual premiums, become entitled to the whole nett profits of the Life Assurance, which will be applied to the re duction of their subsequent Premiums annually. 5. Individuals possessing real or personal property, Officers in the Army or Navy, Clergymen, Professional men, Mer chants, Tradesmen, and persons of respectability and charac ter, if assured with this Association to, the amount of X3OO, at least, for life, may obtain advances of £OlO, and upwards, for terms varying from Three Months, to any other agreed period, upon either real or personal security, to be approved of by the Directors, including the security of Policies effected by parties with this Association.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. By the New York' packet-ship Stephen Whitney, which arrived off the port this afternoon, we have re ceived papers to the 16th January. A great demonstra tion had been made in New York in favour of a conti nuance of the present bankrupt laws, for which :purpose men of great influence belonging to all parties have joined, which renders it still more probable that the pre sent law will not be repealed ; but so nicely are parties balanced, that the votes, are expected to be equal. The political news by this arrival is altogether unimportant. Prices of cotton have declined. Money was plentiful, and the rates of foreign exchanges lower since our former advices, namely, choice bills on London 1081 to 1081. ANOTHER. MURDER.—It is but a few days since that we were called upon to record the murder of a woman by her husband, under circumstances scarce ever paralleled for bru tality and horror. To-day we have again another murder committed under the excitement of passion, produced apparently without any cause save that of intemperance. A man named William Adams, an Englishman, a street-sweeper of the 15th ward, residing in Amity-lane, next to the corner of Wooster street, came home on Thursday afternoon about 5 o'clock, and commenced quarrelling with a girl named Ann Gor man, a servant in his emply, who was washing some dishes. She made some remonstrance to his language, when he seized a plate and threw it at her bead, and snatching a carving knife swore he would have her life. His wife, who had been washing in the yard, came in at this moment, and re monstrated with him upon his violent conduct, when spring ' ing towards her, and exclaiming that he would have her life too, he struck her in the right breast with the carving knife, inflicting a wound about four inches in depth. Drawing the reekinz, weapon from her breast, he struck her a second blow and with such tremendous torte that the knife penetrated through a wooden corset board, and through the sternum, entering the left ventricle of the heart. The girl Ann Gor man, horrified at this dreadful scene. ran out, and was fol lowed by Mrs. Adams, who went into a porter-house at the corner of Amity-lane and Wooster-street, wkere she died in a very few minutes. The examination of Nicholas Biddle and others on a charge of conspiracy arising out of their connection with the Bank of the United States was on the 13th ult. before the Recorder of Philadelphia. All the prisoners were present. in Court. The crowd was very great, as the curiosity of the auditory - was intense to hear the developments in this interesting proceeding. The examination was re sumed on the afternoon of the 14th. The Court , after exa mining one witness, adjourned to the next day. Mr. Thoma s S. Taylor, the present cashier of the United. States Barik, - was the principal witness examined, and heproduced a large number of receipts and loose memoranda respecting the business of the Bank, signed Iby Biddle and others, the object in produci n g which was to inculpate the prisoners. We are glad to learn there is no probability of altering the penny-postage to A oz. PRIVATE PUPIL.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of thin prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood;" nor lid it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the mo s t di s t ress i ng effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and a t n h d e few l skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrust e d w ith the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of p reventin g some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.— Old England. .

Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing aseries of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed. out be tween the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work. —Age. '" The multitude of books dai l y coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very tendency,questionable made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. w Having, however, been induced by the character given of thisan and now by an inteligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, 4 now feel no hesita• tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed land edified. saying clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common ea - eases, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of te i s truly mpe rature, hereditary taint, &c.,,convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say e` satisfactory, ' inasmuch as Messrs.

It 4 * 44' . it ,t,tv *w LONDON? THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1842. Intense interest was yesterday excited about the House of Commons, and in all concerned with the Corn-laws, to hear Sir ROBERT PIL'S plan. The House itself was filled in every part before five o'clock, and its purlieus were so much crowded, that the lobbies and passages were cleared, to the great annoyance of several repec table persons, by the SPEAKER'S orders. Mr. CURTEIS having declined to bring forward his motion concerning Mr. ELTON, no other business was transacted than what concerns the Corn-laws. A great many petitions were presented against the laws, between four and five o'clock, and at five minutes past five, Sir ROBERT PEEL began is statement. His speech was generally plain, confined to theta, and arguments destitute of the usual clap traps, but overloaded with words. It was not calculated to make an impression on the House. It excited no cheers from his friends, and only a little derision from his opponents. We never knew him make so many mistakes, and when he concluded, expressing no confidence that his measure will be carried, it seemed as if he an- ticipated a defeat. He spoke till a few minutes before eight, and evidently failed to please.the landowners, while he did not gain the commer- cial classes. After Sir R. PEEL had resumed his place, Mr. COBDEN rose and denounced the proposition as an insult to the suffering people. The Corn-law Conference also held a meeting, and passed a re solution, that the measure of Ministers, " far from holding out a prospect of relief; is an insult to a patient and suffering people." They added—" That it is an indication that the landed aristocracy are destitute of all sympathy for the poor, and are resolved, if permitted by an outraged people, to persist in a course of policy which will involve the destruction of every interest hi the country." The immediate result of the trimming Ministe rial proposition, therefore, is to exasperate the disease it was intended to cure. Sir R. PEEL does not differ from other ignorant pretenders to a knowledge of the healing art. The amount of his proposition may be stated in a very few words. He is to mak e no al teration in the mode and manner of taking the averages, except to cause the returns to be looked after by the Excise, and to increase the number of towns, now 150, from which the returns are to be made. He rejected the notion of taking the return from the sales of the growers. He said not one wor d a bo u t other provisions than the grains which are usually embraced by the Corn-laws, and, repu diating a fixed duty, he confines his alterations 'ho runs may read." POILEIGIif. The French Ministerial Railw a y project, alluded to in Th e S u n of yesterday, is the subject of c omment in all the Paris daily papers. The Court organ, the Debuts, writing of it, says ;. t ` The Government plan is simple, but it is grand in its simplicity. Two arteries, crossing each other at Paris, will be laid down from iron. tier to frontier. One from the south to the north, or from the Me. diterranean to the North Sea ; the other from the north-east to the south-west, or from Strasburg to Bordeaux and Nantes. Without speaking of the commercial advantages of this arrangement, which are evident, who can be blind to the national unity of the plan, and in a military sense, who is not struck with the facility which will be given for the momentary concentration of our brave regiments, and transporting them rapidly to our frontiers, if, which God for. bid, the genius of war should once more dominate its Europe )4Vba . doss not comprehend that the line of the Mediterranean tat North Sea, whi c h i s a ki n d o f b r id ge between Great Britain, the Mediterranean, and hula, will make us, to e certain extent, the suzerains of English commerce. The Presse, which usually supports the Ministers, is not alto. journal observes so well satisfi e d w i t h t h e ra il way pro j ec t. That observes :—" The Bill is perhaps cleverly drawn up. The profound uncertainty which it allows to hang over the ulterior ifitentions of the Gove r n men t , and the lion ' s share which it leaves to private speculation, are doubtlessly very proper expedients to secure a ma. jority ; , but there is a means of success more powerfUl than corrup. tints, viz., that which derives its strength from principle. and re. poses upon equity." The Constitutionnel has very few words on the subject. It merely observes that a great deal is promised, but very little is to be done, and expresses astonishment that the line from Paris to Strasburg, which, it says, is the most important as regards the de fence of the country, has been overlooked. The National :also expresses astonishment that the line froM Paris to Strasburg does not figure amongst those which are included in the present Bill, and complains of the large amount reserved by the Bill for private speculators, and of thepower placed by it in the hands of the members of the Counell.General of the departments. The Corruier Francais denounces the Bill as part of a system of wholesale bribery. We give a statement so disgraceful to the re. presentation of France in the words of our Gallic Contemporary " The Bill is the most flagrant exposure that could be made of the present state of the Chamber and the electoral colleges. Corrup. tion has reached such a height, that the representative system, like a machine without a spring, is incapable of working. The coujary demands railways, but it will not have them ; for a Ministry file that of the 29th October could not propose really useful lines with. out instantly losing the votes of the Deputies whose localities were not to be provided for. The Commerce objects t o th e Rill chiefly because, litstead of holding out encouragement to speculate in railways, the elovern e ment, says the Commerce, which executeeslowly and eicpensively, reserves to itself what would be much better done by the collective enterprise of individuals. The Quotldienne says there is more pomp in the announcement than there is likely to be reality in the execution, and states that Ministers will so contrive matters that their patronage and in. fluence as to railways shall be made conducive to their success at the next general election. The Sieele and the France are equally dissatisfied. We have only space for a quotation from the latter :—" The Minister of Public Works has presented to the Chamber of Deputies the prospectus of the railways which are hereafter to be executed. In the rest of Europe complete lines are made without hubbub, and without charlatanism. Here all that is done is making prefaces of works which are never completed. Quacks ! Quacks !" The Basle Gazette states that the Cabinet of the Tuileries has made a communication to the Cantonal Government of Geneva, concerning the intercourse kept up by the Communists in France with some of their sect in Switzerland. We learn from Madrid papers of the Ist inst., that Senor Luzan's amendment, approving the conduct of the Gonzalez Cabinet in reference to the October insurrection, was carried in the Congress on that day by a majority of 35 votes, the number being 85 against 50. A letter from Madrid of the Ist inst. says—." It is not at all unlikely that, on the plea of strengthening the Administration, at.. tempts will be made to induce M. Surra y Rull to resign within the next six weeks, and, as he has no particular aim in remaining in office, it is probable that he may do so, unless a public declaration of the British holders of bonds of Spain against his quitting office. declaratory of their increased confidence in him, should meanwhile be made ; he is the only one of the Liberal Ministers that has ac. tually done anything for them." It was reported in Madrid, on the Ist, that the Archbishop of Valencia had followed the example of his Right Rev. brother of Toledo, and tendered his resignation, in consequence ofthe projects of law recently submitted to the approval of the Cortes, on the existing relations with Rome. According to a St. Petersburg letter, in the Gazette e t r Upper Germany, an ukase is about to be issued concerning failures and bankruptcies. By its provisions, any persons stopping payment, and not being able to pay 40 per cent. of his liabilities, is to be considered a fraudulent bankrupt, and sent to Siberia, or enrolled in the army as a common soldier. PUBLIC OPINION. The Chron►ile enters its protest against Sir Robert Peel's Corp_ law scheme, as being little better than an insult to the country. " The poor, patient sufferers," says our Contemporary, "in no case fully employed, and in many cases wholly without employment, who have been wandering about their respective neighbourhoods, like spectres rather than human beings, will, by the sentence of the Tory aristocracy, of which Sir Robert Peel was last night the organ, find themselves precluded even from the hope of possible relief in this world.—His measures of awful importance to the country are of awful disappointment to the millions.—Ofone thing the country may feel eertain,that the di: appointment —nay, dis... guNt—of their Liberal representatives without exception, cannot be surpassed by what may be felt by themselves.—Every honest man throughout the empire must, by this time, be satisfied that the resignation of the Duke of Buckingham was a wretched trick played otr on the people. It is below contempt." The Herald expresses itself favourably toward Sir Robert Peel's modified Corn-law measure, observing, "not that the new project is free from objections, or will be perfectly satisfactory to the agri. culturists as a body, but it is based on the principle of clue protec. tion being given to our domestic soil, and may be so amended in Committee, as to render it acceptable to all moderate politicians. Sensible and temperate persons will scan the details of the plan with favour, and suggest only such amendments as are indispensable," The Post speaks somewhat doubtfully and coldly of Sir Robert I'eel's Corn-law project, and says :—" It is not reasonable that flinch consideration should be given to the subject before a judg ment is formed ; and possibly the result of that consideration may be a conviction that the proposed scale is not lower than that which sound policy dictates in the present juncture of affairs. The first impression, however, is undoubtedly that of surprise at the very considerable reduction of duty which has been proposed. Whatever may be thought of Sir It. Peel's new scheme, there is certainly no mystification in it. The ; nines obser %es of Sir Robert Peel's Corn.law scheme We see no reason to departfromthe opinion which we have always expressed—that a moderate fixed duty would be safer, better, and more likely to be permanent than any modification of the sliding scale. In this respect we still differ from Sir Robert Peel, and should undoubtedly prefer a plan embodying our own principle to that which lie has submitted to the House of Commons. But we are not so blinded with faction or prejudice as to think that no change which falls short of our own notions of perfection can be acceptable or advantageous to the nation, and we recognize in the proposal of Government a very great practical improvement upon the existing system, and a valuable approximation to the settle. ment which we should most desire." MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE. At the half-yearly meeting of the Eastern Counties Railway held yesterday the Secretary read the Report, from which it ap. peared that the whole line to Colchester (52 miles) would be corn. _ _ pleted by the ensuing autumn, that the receipts for the half year amounted to 22,5514 being an increase of 7,0164 over the former half year; and that the total receipts up to the 4th of January, 1 542, were 1,688,2421.,. leaving a balance of 40,3121. over the expenditure. ECCLESIASTICAL. The Irish papers generally assert that Dr. O'Brien, Dean of Cork, and son.in-law of the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, will be the head Bishop of Ossory. • ELECTIONEERING. The nomination at Taunton took place yesterday, when Sir T. E Colebrooke, on the Liberal side, and James Hall, Esq., on the Con. servative, were proposed and seconded. Lord Jocelyn, the candidate for Lynn, bas been canvassing the electors. The election is appointed to take plaoe to-day. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. The Thatched House Tavern, St. James's, is to be pulled down, and the Conservative. Club-house (a rival to the Carlton) erected in the course of the ensuing summer. NAVAL AND MILITARY. General Buzen, the Belgian Minister of War, who has lately committed suicide, wrote and sealed a letter to King Leopold, on the morning in question, which reached the latter while at table with the King of Prussia, at Lacken. It wax worded : " When you read this, I shall be no longer existing. You will find my body in the small pent-house of the Kitchen garden." The King's emotion could not be repressed. General Buzen was a brave soldier, full of energy and zeal. LAW AND POLICE. At Union Hall, Henry Stanhope, who rejoiced in three *this ;mums, namely, Wood, Williams, and Stanton, and who In 18,96 • had sentence of death recorded against him for stealing In a dwell. ing-house, was committed to take hie trial tbr purloining a gold ring set with pearls, the property of a Airs. Gliding. Mr. Robert Horton, of Itrecknock.terrace, Camden Town, a half-pay officer, was held to bail at Marylebone, for a violent as. sault upon Mr. Henry Tinsou, of Princes-street, Cavendish square. The particulars were only imperfectly given, as the solidi. tors of both parties expressed a wish that the case should go to the Swim. - In the action Quin v. Adams, tried yesterday in the Court of Exchequr, for the loss of a horse value 100 guineas, the Jury re tumid a verdict for the plaintiff, damages, 701. 10s. At the Westminster Sessions, Augustus Such, formerly warder in the Penitentiary, Milthank, was indicted for the assault com. mitted on Dr. Nihil , the Governor and Chaplain, of which a full account appeared in The Sun on Monday. The Jury found the pri. soner guilty, and the Chairman sentenced him to three months' im. prisonment in the House of Correction, and to find security to keep the peace for six months. A Frenchman of the name of Pages was committed at Marl. borough-street yesterday, for inducing the wife of a countryman of his own to forge a cheque for '241. during the absence of the hus band at Manchester. It appeared from the evidence that the pe cuniary loss was not the only injury he had sustaioed from the pri soner. Henry Jones, eoachman to Mr. C. Drummond. of Stratton.street, was fined Si. and costs, for horsewhipping two policemen in Mill. bank street, on Thursday, when the Queen opened Parliament. It appeared the defendant attempted to break through the regula. tions, and on being resisted applied his whip indiscriminately to the horses and the constables. FINE ARTS. The widow of Baron Gros, the celebrated painter, has bequeathed to the city of Toulouse, the birth-place of her late husband, a painting of Venus and Cupid, a Portrait of the Baron himself, and another of the Baroness, all executed by the artist ; also the pa. letter used in painting the picture of Napoleon Visiting the Sick with the Plague at Jaffa, and the Cupola of the Pantheon, and the palm and wreath placed ovet the picture of the Plague scene; Wien . exhibited at the Louvre in 1804.
