Annual Division of Profits. F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Secretary. UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OFFICE, I. King William-street, London. The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is tonsistent with perfect security. ' One -fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding Years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders; three -fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first divi s ion o f profits took pl ace on th e 13th o f M a y, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared. The following table will show the operation of the reduction made by the Society : A , Age Reduced when Annual Policy Date ot Sum Original Reduction Premium Policy. was Assured.

The Directors hereby give notice to Members whose Pre miums fall due on the sth of October next, that the same must be _paid within thirty days from that.date. The Premiums are payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly, on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commence. meat of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, AS • MEMBERS, on the sth of July next, should appear at the Office on or before that day. So various are the plans now before the public for effecting Assurance on Life, it may; •at first sight, seem difficult to, make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following classification may be made , :- Ist. Proprietary Offices, where all the surplus from pre miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions between Share and Stockholders and the assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the assured only. The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver tising resorted to, yet -its advantages have been so well appre ciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed 28,5001. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Soci e ty' s af fairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five years' standing have been reduced Forty-tWo'and a Half per cent. A plan of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained on application at the Office. . . RICHARD ,HEATHFIELD, Superintendent. Princes-street, Bank, Sept..l4, 1842.

FEAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT, • RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, &e. Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon, of Carrnock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Editor of the " Times :" " Sir,—l think it a duty I ewe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and edematous, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having,exhausted every resource of relief which I and my Medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjarein Brodie or Mr. Listen—then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his EMbrOcation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no'snasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, .as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. . " I am, your obedient servant, "'TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire. " P. S. At the various consultations held up,n my case, the stirgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of 'opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application of this extraordinary embrocation.—T. H." This justly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficacious in any of the above afflictions) rnay,lte obtained of, or through any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town or Country, at the Depot. corner of Wellington-street, Strand; nr from the Proprietor. Mr. Feaver, 16, Ludgate-hill, London. RETURNED EMIGRANTS.—We noticed some weeks ago that large numbers of people who, had emigrated to the United States had returned in the ships from New York. They continue to arrive in considerable numbers. The greatest number brought by one ship, up to last Week, was 250 by the Hottinguer ; but,'•on Tuesday night, the packet-ship New York arrived with upwards of 300, many of whom would have starved from want of provisions, had not Captain Cropper humanely supplied the poor creatures out of the ship's stores. Amongst the passengers were a lot of British sailors, who had been some years in the American navy, which they left, thdy, Britain into d e a d a l n y d c t o h n e fl t n it with d t heta St, i r e s own they e c y o u say, lest, if hostiliti es s h ou ld b rea k out between' Great might nt rym e b n e . brought v g e h r . t pool Albion. FATAL ACCIDENT TO J. B. WILSON, ESQUIRE, BANKER, or YORK.—It is with the most painful feel ings that we have to record the premature death of one of our most respectable citizens, which 'took place on Thursday morning last, under very distressing circum stances. Mr. Wilson was on a visit at the country house of his brother, Thomas Wilson, P. —sq., at Fulford, and on the fatal morning he took breakfast with his friends, and appeared as usual. After breakfast he went out, about eleven o'clock, and, being a fine morn• ing, walked down to a retired situation on the banks of the Ouse. with an intention to bathe. He threw his clothes off, laid them on the bank, placed his gold wat c h upon the bank, and then incautiously plunged into the water. Unfortunately, the deceased had mistaken the place, there being a shallow part of the water Rear, to which bathers often resorted, but the place he entered was of very great depth. He could not swim ; and it is supposed that he met with a watery grave almost im mediately. About twelve his clothes were found lying on the bank, and search was immediately made for the body. It was soon found ; and a Coroner's inquest was held the same evening, when the case was so clear that the Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of " Found drowned." Various rumours (as usual) were soon ONO ; but the above are the facts ; and there is no doubt whatever but that the dreadful event was purely accidental. Mr, Wilson was a gentleman of un assuming manners, and of a kind disposition. He was highly respected in life, and his melancholy fate is deeply lamented by every Inhabitant of the city.—York Herald. iDovErt, SHPT. 19 —Yesterday Prince Esterhazy, who has been taking the benefit of sea -bathing here for these several weeks past, left Dover for London.

(From the Boston Argus.) The dinner of the Phi Beta Kappa Society on Thursday was one of the pleasantest of its pleasant social meetings. The very large assemblage of the brethren, the pleasant associations of the agreeable events and exercises of the two preceding days, the new life which a centennial anniversary with its re collections of past honours always infuses, and more than all, the presence of the distinguished stranger to whose self-devotion and intelligence we are indebted in great measure for the happy termination of the difficulties between us and our mother country, gave a peculiar zest to the hilarities of the occasion. The treaty arrived in Boston on the very morning of the festival; this circumstance, the news of its per fect settlement, and the presence of Lord Ashburton and other English gentlemen at the dinner, gave a di rection to much of the wit and eloquence which cha racterised it. We have thought that an attempt to recal some of these tokens of the universal joy at the confirmation of the peace would not be unpleasant at this moment, while the statesman to whom England and America owe so much, is yet among us. The President of the Society, the Hon. JOSIAH QUINCY, Jun., presided at the table. There appeared to be about' three hundred of the brethren present, comprising a proud representation of the literature and learning of the country. The President made some introductory remarks on the pleasure of return ing to the seat of science, and the recollection th a t whatever had been the subsequent calling in life of the brethren of the Society,' they were all scholars once; and he Faye as an opening toast—" The in fluence of classical study felt through after life—the needle retains its polarity long after the loadstone is withdrawn." The PRESIDENT again rose, and in a graceful and eloquent speech, remarked that one of the greatest glories of literature arose from the inducements it fur nished and the rewards it gave to eminent public ser vices. Alexander was a conqueror, because he slept with the Iliad at his pillow.; and the Roman hero could not rest when he .saw arrayed around him the statues of the Fathers. Such had always been the connexion of literature with fame : poetry and history had for ages incited and immortaliied the conqueror and the oppressor, and as literature would still hold its sway, it was to be hoped that a better era was com mencing; and, that as " peace had her victories as well as war," future historians would per petuate the fame of the benefactors of mankind. What name, asked the President of his fellow students, would stand first on the first page of that historyl Should it not be the name of one, who, in advanced life, left "honour, love, obedience, troops of friends," that he might cross the ocean to settle those differences between kindred nations, that in other ages would have been decided by the sword. This day tells us that he had been gloriously successful. But for him, the same result might have b een o bt a i ne d a f ter the earth had been heaped with slain and the ocean stained with blood. What must be his sentiments as he crosses that ocean, carrying with him the blessings of the New World, to be received with the acclama tions of the Old—when he reflected that but for him it might have been purpled with brothers' blood ? He closed his speech by proposing—" The health of our distinguished guest.—The nations he has.united shall join in his praise, and future generations shall call hinv blessed." On the annunciation of the toast the company rose and drank it with all the honours. When the cheering subsided, Lord ASHBURTON returned thanks for the kind and enthusiastic manner in which his name had been received. The proudest moment of his life was that in which he received the orders of his 'Sovereign to' undertake the mission which had so prosperously' 'terminated ; and he was happy to find that such a body of gentlemen as he had the pleasure to-address in the halls of a University which was one 'of the' most distinguished institutions of the country, should exhibit tokens of such enthusiasm and gratification at the allusions to thenegotiations which had just been brought to a close. He could not refrain, at the same time, from expressing his warm thanks towards those with whom he had been engaged in the conduct of that negotiation, and in general for the kind feeling which in this country had answered to that felt towards the country by the. Government of England. . The PRESIDENT stated that he found he was in the neighbourhood of a " Philadelphia Lawyer," (Mr. Reed, the orator - of the day, sat at the left of the chair), who could find two meanings to one word, when Yankee, could hardly get the meaning out of two ; and after alluding to the family name of their distinguished 'guests, he gave as a volunteer— " International Questions—Easily settled when once brought to their proper Borings. Then followed a rapid succession of sentiments from the chair, which called up sucessively and elicited speeches and sentiments from President Quincy, Lord John Hay, Mr. Justice Story, W. B. Reed, Rev. Dr. Bethune, Mr. Peter, British Consul at Philadelphia, ands host of others. 1 - 1 OYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, KAP extended into Cavendish-square. The much-admires .

A smart, lively, laughter-moving three act farce, (designated in the bills a new and original comedy) from the pen o f M r. B ourcicault, entitled Alma Ma ter, or a Cu re ~for Coq ue tt es, was pro d uce d a t thi s theatre last eveni ng with complete success. The scene is laid at the University of Oxford, where we find Wildfire (Mr. H. Hall) and Gradus (Mr. Vin ing), the two nephews of Sir Samuel Sarcasm (Mr. W. Farren), studying at Brazennose College—that is to say, Gradus studying his books, albeit he devotes some little time to making love, after the Modus fa shion, to th e f a i r Lill y V enture (Miss Charles) ; and Wildfire devoting hi s d ays to Brindal), a vulgar edition of making his nights to studying whist and whiskey-punch Mr. Malon e Ray Dudley love Smooth, sn d and in brew ing, taking as his tutor in the first Count Pave (Mr. the second Major Garrett O'Gorman, a rattling, rolicking, kind-hearted, honourable Irishman, excel lently acted by having considerably exceeded the allowance made to difficulties, and has employed him by his uncle, has become involved in pecuniary his f m ri o e n n d d . pli l a V n i:d ( fi A r i e r. , Webster), also a Brazennose man, to see Sir Samuel Sarcasm on the subject, and to endeavour to procure nom the old gentleman a supply of the needful. Pliant, however, fails in his tnission,through his over-complai sance ; bosom with Si, Samuel in everything; and nothing so angers the testy 4:41 bachelor as not con tradicting him. Sir Samuel having his suspicions awakened, proceeds to Ox : fol-d, to consult with D r . Dactyl (Mr. Tilbury), the 4 head of 'the College, as to the proceedings of his nephews, and arrives in Oxford the (lay before his two nephews go up to be examined for their degree. On the same d ay t h ere arr i ve i n OxfOrd the Widow Venture (Mrs. Glover), and her daughter Lilly, who intend taking up their residence o t there e the e w l h v i i l d e 0 w Somerset e s IhVentu restudies (Ai a the Howe), ijn i v t e h r e s i s t o y n . The Widow h ' ad two-and-twenty years before been a flame of Sir Samuel Sarcasm, but had lost him through her coquetry, and in th e ar ti c l e of coquetry ' Lilly is the Widow's own daughter, for, although she loves Wildfire sincerely, yet she would rather run the risk of losing him than not indulge her penchant fot teasing. Sir Samuel eves since his disappointment having entertained a more than Jonathan-Oldbuck hatred of womankind, is dreadfully annoyed at finding himself thrown thus into the society of the Widow Venture; while she, determined to be Lady Sarcasm, sets her widow's wits to work to make an impression on the apparently im penetrable heart of the irritable Baronet. In this she is assisted by Lilly, who lays her commands on Wild fire to write a letter to his uncle, stating that to• ex tricate him , from his difficulties, he must marry a fortune, and requesting Sir Samuel to inter cede for him with the Widow Wildfire, who has already given him some encouragement. 'Wildfire having - written this letter, is so annoyed with the coqueting of Lilly, that he determines to drown his troubles in wine, and accordingly invites Connt PaVe, the Maier, and a host of others to his rooms, to make a night of it. Meanwhile, the Count has not been losing his time : not knowing which is the fortune, the m o th e r or daughter, he prudently makes love to b o th ; th ey com pare notes, and p re p are f or him a bitter disappointment.

F or in stance , the offer of Sir Samuel to endow a P ro f essorship of C omm on Sense in the University, if it cou ld produce a ma n qualified to fill the office, was very good, and was loudly ap plauded.

T here are, h oweve r, marks of great haste and care l essness in its compos iti o n. It is evident not only th a t M r. Bourc i cau lt has never i been a member of either of the Universities, but that he has not taken the trouble to make himself ac quainted with that which is familiar to even a fresh man of two days' standing ; for instance, lie makes one of his characters, who has been three years at Brazennose, talk of matriculating to-morrow, mean ing, thereby, going up to be examined for his degree; and at the conclusion G ra d us comes i n an d informs his friends that he has tak en h onours as a wrangler.

NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL to the Professor to say that he enters heart and soul into the whole arcana and minutite of the business, and he is most liberally supported by the committee, who, placing in him their full confidence, do not mar his plans by niggardly, simple, or cold and lukewarm support. It is no wonder, therefore, that the Norwich Festivals have been successful in the past; for the future, we wish them perpetuity and increased success. The fancy ball, on Friday night, was attended by 703 of the haut ton of the country and city. There was only a thin sprinkling of fancy cha racters; but the joyousness of the party was not damped by this circumstance, and the merry dance was kept up till about four o'clock on Saturday morning. This closed all the amuse ments of the Festival. NORWICH, FRIDAY, SEPT. 16.—The Samson Agonistes of Milton, joined with the sublime strains of Handel, formed the grand entertain ment at the " festival" this day. The design of Professor Taylor in the present version ofSamson will be best expressed in his own Words:— " To the acknowledged and obvious defects of the libretto, on which Handel worked, I have now endeavoured to apply a partial remedy, by restoring, wherever possible, the text of th e Samson Agonistes; availing myself also of pas sages from its author's minor poems, and some times (for musical effects) of aid derived from other sources. I wish it hae-been possible to have accomplished a more complete restoration of the text of Milton; but in many important portions of the existing oratorio the music and the words must be retained or rejected together; in such cases the words are retained for the sake of the music. To such additions as have, been made to the former libretto I have endeavoured to adapt music of Handel, worthy his exalted reputation, and worthy the association in which lie is placed. One exception occurs, in the piece which I have introduced'froM the..same source whence Handel himself, with-great judgment and effect, has derived another. and similar por tion of his oratorio. Many of his best songs (written for the greatest singers of the age), in consequiape i& „Having been coMposed for Italian operas, are now cons:gned to oblivion. Some of these I have ventured to revive, and the music of a few chorusses, taken from such of his oratorios as are never performed entire, have been added. These deservedly rank among their author's most successful efforts. Some pieces of great beauty are added which I believe exist only in MS. " Whether I have successfully accomplished the object I had in view must be decided by others. I engaged in it with h feeling of some what more than admiration of the genius of the poet and of the musician; and after having de voted no inconsiderable thought and research to the present work, I venture, under a just sense of the responsibility I have encountered, to pre sent it to my countrymen." The first scene remains nearly the same as in THE ROYAL VOYAGE. (From the John Bull.) By the kindness of a friend, we have been favoured with a narrative of the Royal voyage homeward, from ,which we proceed to give a few extracts : It is already known that her Majesty, on the out• ward voyage, was in the Royal G eorge yac ht, C apta i n Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, towed by the steamers Rhadamanthus and Black Eagle. The weather being fine the passage was excellent, and the triangular group formed of the three ships had a splendid effect. But the voyage had its drawbacks. The columns of smoke from the two towing steamers, instead of as cending -high in the air and dissipating, being now kept down by the atmosphere, fell back on the Royal George, filling both decks and rigging with their un savoury vapours, and with pertinacious loyalty pene. trating under the awning where the Queen and her Royal husband sat. This visitation made the Royal couple cough and rub their eyes just as any other good man and wife would do. Moreover, the officers of the squadron could not conceal from themselves the fact that if the weather should become boisterous the Royal George would pitch and plunge, and if the warps should break she would have to trust entirely to her sails. The possibility of such an occurrence was strongly set before her Majesty , by Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Buccleuch, who told her that she came a little too late in the season to rely on the weather. It was therefore determined that she should return in the Trident. Admiral Brace, the com mander-in-chief, hesitated about taking the command of a merchant ship ; but Sir R. Peel, well acquainted with the etiquette of the sea service, assured the Gallant Admiral that an order from the Prime Minister would immediately turn the Trident into a respectable steam frigate, and it did so. Sir Robert gave the orders, the Admiral boarded the Trident and ' hoisted his flag ; Captain Bullock accom panied him as pilot-in-chief. Both officers fully confided in the seamanship of Captain Sharpe, of the Trident, now converted into an acting master in her Majesty's service. The officers and men all concurred in approving of the change to the Trident, for their eyes had been much inflamed by the smolie from the two steamers ahead of the Royal George, though they could not but regret that her gallant Captain could not have the honour of bringing the Queen home as well as out.

Price Sixpence stamped. Office, 198, Strand. Lord JOHN HAY made a brief acknowledgment, when called on by a sentiment to this effect :—" The Commander of the Warsklite—he has brought the Herald of Peace, in the Spite of War." He said that the order to convey his distinguished friend on his mission, was thamost gratifying order that he had ever received, and he was happy that he should have the pleasiue . to convey him home, now that that mis sion had come to a termination, which would be as gladly received in England as in America. We cannot attempt to follow the other speakers, even in as meagre a sketch as we have given of a few of their predecessors. We must close only by a mention of a few of those spkeches which had a national or public allusion. The PRESIDENT closed a few appropriate remarks with the following, which was received with great enthusiasm .—" The Treaty of Washington—it was well for America that a Daniel had come to judgment." 'fudge STORY spoke with warmth and feeling of the virtues and the learning of Dunning, the first Lord Ashburton, a connexion, we believe, of the present Lord. Mr. BANCROFT responded most eloquently to the following:—" The memory of James Grahame, the historian of America. He has engraved his name on the temple of our country's history. It shall never be erased utitil the temple itself shall be destroyed." Lord ASHBURTON, after saying that, although occa sionally the services of a diplomatist might be of use to extricate nations from some temporary entangle ment, peace was to be constantly preserved only by the general education of the people, alluded to the high character of the common school education of Massachusetts ; it was by such efforts as her citizens had made, that the foundation was to be laid on which the temple of eternal peace must stand. He proposed as a toast—" The schoolmaster—all over the world." _he original oratorio, and ushers - in the approaci. ing festival to Dagon, with " the trumpet's lofty sound." In the next the text of Milton is adopted, and thus introduces Samson : " A little onward lend thy guiding hand To these dark steps—a little further on; . For yonder bank hath choice of sun or shade. There am I wont to sit, when any chance Relieves me from my chance of servile toil. Here I feel Heaven's breath fresh blowing : Here leave me t• respire." Then follows that most pathetic appeal— tal Micali's address, like the opening recitative of Samson, is then, for the first time, connected with music:— " 0 change beyond report, thought, or belief! Which shall I first bewail, Thy bondage or lost sight ? Prison within prison, Inseparably dark ? The sun to thee, alas! extinct And silent as the moon When she deserts the night, Hid in her vacant interlunar cave." The music which gives expression to this pas sage, as well as to the song " In God, your Fattier, trust," is in Handel's happiest style. An equally graceful cantabile, " Lord,-let thy mercy lighten," was expressively swig by Phillips, to whom was allotted the part of Manoah. The song of Samson, " These sightless orbs," is pregnant with beauty, and in the highest degree interesting. There is a transition at the words " my race of glory's run, and race of shame," as unexpected as it is expressive. The morning sacrifice of the Jews is com menced with a hymn of deep solemnity, taken, like the chorus in a subsequent part of the oratorio, from Carissimi. A quartet of skilful texture succeeds, and, after the chorus, " God will not long defer to vindicate his name," a song full of sweet melody, sung Madame Caradori Allen. _ Among the other compositions of Handel which are woven into this act is the quintet, " Israel, trust in the Lord." This and the quartet were altogether new to us. The songs are known in their original form to those who are conversant with Handel's Italian operas, but the two concerted pieces are probably among his MS. compositions. The act terminates with the chorus " Immortal Lord," a composition of unsurpassed majesty. The second act opens with a beautiful instrumental introduction, taken from one of Han del's concertos, to introduce the chorus, " Before the sapphire-colour'd throne Of Him who ever rules alone, Our heavenly-guided soul shall climb : There, all his earthly grossness quit, Attied with stars we shall for ever sit, And triumph over Death and thee, 0 Time !" The well-known air, " Return, 0 God of hosts," is then sung by Micah, to which was now added the less often performed, but equally beautiful, chorus, " To dust His glory they would tread." The approach of Harapha is appropriately an nounced by :the magnificent chorus " See, the proud chief advances." Balfe was the Philistine Champion, and went through the scene with Samson with spirit and effect. Then comes the majestic invocation of the Jews; which Handel, with such excellent judgment, transplanted into his oratoria from earissani. The scene changes to the temple of Dagon, and the entry of the priests is announced by a march of stately and somewhat martial character. The music now asmines a lighter and more festive style. The semi -chorus, " Hear us, 0 Dagon,' .? transplanted from Athalia, is cheerful and`graceful, and the song, " Spirits of mirth and pleasure," ranks among Handel's best bravuras. There is a fine and joyous spirit throughout, at which he some times aimed without success. We think the ori ginal will be found in his Lotharius. This song was beautifully sung by Miss Rainforth. Equally animated is the duet, " Ye gallant youths, ad vance," and its concluding chorus. Samson is then led in, and the derisive shouts of the assembled crowd assail him. His invoca- Mr. GRATTAN closed an appropriate and witty speech, by proposing the health of Professor Long fellow and the poets of America. Mr. HILLIARD, at the close of some eloquent and graceful remarks, gave England and America--may the peace between them be as firm as the cliffs of their coast, and every element of estrangement be as eva nescent as the bubbles that break on their shores." Dr. 4mEir,ow was called up by a proposition, to bestow, "..pro hottoris causa," a doctorate in medicine on their distinguished guest, on the ground that one who had healed the- differences between two coun tries, was worthy to be considered a professor of the healing art. The Learned Doctor concluded a most witty 'address by gii;ing for a sentiment the lines of Horace : " Sed levius fit patentio. Quicquid corrigere est nefas." Which he paraphrased thus :—" There is not in the world an evil which is past Baring." The following allusion to the Christian name of Lord Ashburton was received with great applause : "True greatness—Which shall the Christian historian place first ? the Alexander who severed nations by the sword—or the Alexander who united them by peaceful negotiation ?" Among the volunteers sent to the Chair was the following :—Virgil sang of the " penitus toto divisos orhe Britannos." We rejoice, that, if they were se parated from the " Orhis Romanus," they are so near to us as to need the most illustrious. statesmen on earth to " settle the boundary ;" and that, if they had no representation in the Roman Senate, and no place among " Greek Letters," they have so noble a repre sentative here. from c u ou a r r t i , a Strand, sutton CORONER'S INQUEST. —Las nigh t inquest was discovered Mrs. Sutton table persons, held at the Coal-hole Tavern,: f F j o e u m nt i a: n i ti a b n efo in re fa M nt, r. s f ix lig w g e s e , k o s n ol t d h . e body appearedy dscisreeao the evidence, of the infant last Mrs. Sutton was walking down stairs with the living a th a e t No. parents 4, Foofunthtaeinc.hcoiludrtw. were n re T s deceased in her arms, when she unfortunately slipped and severalofetlhlerdsoownnthe landing, brought Mrs. Fitzgibbon, the landlady of the house, and Ph:B4l V morning stretched on the floor, in a strong fit, Th h Ague-"°nsed was ..er, Th lying about a yard distant f rom . , e mother was assisted to her bed- o h an *er, and came to shortly after.

They were determined to have one more look at every interesting object, and their questions showed some knowledge of the coast. As they approached the dis trict of Alnwick Castle, they began a little debate as to whether the edifice would be seen or not. The Queen thought they should see it—Prince Albert was of a contrary opinion ; and one word brought up another, until they appealed to Captain Bullock, who gave his casting vote against her Majesty, explaining that it was covered by a dip in the land. However, if the castle was not seen it was very well heard, for it fired a royal salute in excellent style. On Friday morning the Trident Was off Flamborough head. When islands were approached they sailed between them and the main land, steering as well as possible through the centre of any fleet of merchant ships which they came up with, her Majesty being desirous that all parties should have an opportunity of seeing and being seen. When they made the Fern. Islands her Majesty remembered the heroism of Grace Darling, and was evidently touched on hearing that the brave young woman had died but a few days before. The Queen is a good sailor, but as yet Prince Al bert does not relish the salt water. He was so dis tressed at one time that he was obliged to .say he was " struggling between nausea and hunger."

Such a combination of the sister arts as this version of Samson presents is as rare as it is wel come. It is at least an attempt to wipe off the reproach to which his countrymen have too long quietly submitted, of indifference to the name and the fame of Milton. Ite is • tiow allowed to assume his proper position, and to speak for him self. The oratorio, musically regarded, displays in its present tbrm as unalloyed an assernhlage of beauty, expression, and grandeur as is presented in any similar work of the mole author. Everything thikt, was unworthy the genius of Handel lkika heen removed, and pieces of can gigraniate beauty have been substituted, Ajealaus regard to his reputation appears, , throughout, as well as an extensive knowlate ahis works. When all was so wellent in performance, it is scarcely necessary to say more in the way of individual eulogy, All the singers went through their parts, not with cold correctness, but with evident ease and pleasure. Thus closed the musical performance of the seventh triennial Norwich 'Musical Festival, which, whether we eonsider it in a pecuniary or mllqc,sl light, has been most completely suc cessful. Already preparations are talked of for the next, and we doubt nut but that before Pro fessor Taylor leaves Norwich, some arrangement far the meeting 0f'1845 will be made. It is due . MURDER IN FRANCE. Two men, named Obstancias and Pradel, were tried lately at the Court of Assizes of Piom (Puy-de- Dome), for the murder of their father-in-law, Claude Morel, a cow-doctor, residing in the village of Lat terie. This man had two daughters, whom he had married to the two prisoners. They all lived toge ther, but the house soon became notorious for the disputes and loud recriminations which constantly took place there, the old man accusing his sorts-in law of laziness, and they reproaching him with his avarice. The young men went so Fav Its to declare that they desired to see him dead, mut that they would even willingly give a few hundred francs to any one who would take him off. The old man got at last tired of all this conduct, and announced his in tention of getting married. This increased the ill will of the sons-in-law, and they plainly told him they would prevent his doing so. On March 14, Morel was sent Par to attend a sick cow belonging to a person living at a neighbouring village, and, after seeing the animal and stating what was to be done, left the place and returned homewards, but he never reached his house. The next day, some women of the village discovered his, dead body near a huge chesnut tree by the way side. There were a few drops of blood only, and the physicians, on examining the body, declared that he had died of strangulation. The sons-in-law were taken up, but steadfastly denied that they knew anythi ng o f the murder, having be en b o th in a different direction all the evening on which it had been oommitted. It was, however, proved on trial, by Chadevras, a beggarman, that, on the evening in question, lie met two men, one of whom exclaimed to the other—" Oh! 'tis not he. This fellow carries a wallet," One of those men had a gun in his hand, and. the witness identified the prisoners as being the -per sons.

Most of our readers are aware of the extensive rob• bery committed at Preston on Monday sennight, during the celebration of the Guild, by a party of SIO• complished swindlers, who succeeded in introducing themselves to Mr. Marquis, of Accrington, and easing E hha ngl o a f nsovereigns. In the in Bank evening f of the Thursday following, a dashingly-attired fo hdisnopz3sl:eant-brk, reigner entered one of the hotels in that town, and 103 co so l t in re in ign g called fer a pint of wine, tendering a 51. Bank of England note in payment. The waiter having heard a description of the persons by whom the robbery of Mr. Marquis had been effected, fancied that the per sonal appearance of the strange guest tallied with that of one of the parties implicated in the theft ; and this supposition was con verted into almost absolute certainty when the former withd rew f rom hi s purse • a note of the identical bank whose promissory obli gations constituted the bulk of the stolen property. Fired with the supposed discovery, he comrnutucated his suspicions to the proprietor of the hotel, who eon supmast e ushered r e a d ' curred i n th e pro b a bi l i ty of the supposition, and de iinnetsosetnhe ge r r oo i i n n q u est of the supposed ofa policeman, nan : who vevancer" was luxuriously reclining on an ottoman, d hid withoutm Nrvnasi ceremonyn snatchesg thtisuis a it) n utro o bed p t e h r e. a so t T i f i ah n ,e e gTaspe , e w o • n h s e t n da marchedprivachuy rudely df its occupant by the collar, and after stating the nature of the charge against him, blandly desired the favour of his company to the station-house. Words are wanting to describe the mingled air .of rage and asto nishment with which the " strange gentleman" re • ceived this intimation, , and its accompanying infringe ment of personal liberty. For some moments he seemed deprived of utterance, but at length his tongue resumedits office, when, in terms of indignation and disdain, he haughtily repelled the charg e , d eclaring himself to be' no less a personage than the Duke of Brunswick. .This avowal, however, was disrega r d e d by the policeman and his abettors, who considered it a mere artifice resorted to in the hope of over aw i ng them; and in spite of his earnest protest against such proceeding, dragged him to the police-office, a dig_ tance of from four to five hundred yards, a crowd of persons following, attracted by the rumoured detection of one of the scoundrels by whom Mr. Mar quis had been plundered. On arr i v i ng th ere , th e stranger reiterated his former declaration, and in proof' of his assertions referred to the owner of the mansion where he had taken up his stay, and alsil-to several dis tinguished individuals whom he named. On inquiry this statement proved correct, and his Serene High ness, after being literally overwhelmed with apolo gies and protestations of regret for the blunder which had placed him in so awkward a predicament, took his departure, accompanied by Baron Andlau, his equerry, who reached the station-house at the moment of his royal master's liberation. The Prince, we under' stand, has since received from Samuel Horrocki, Esq., the Mayor of Preston, a most handsome apology for the unintentional affront, with which his highness has expressed himself satisfied, and thus ends the matter. The festival of the Guild exhibited many sights worthy of special commemoration ; but the spectacle of a de posed ruler, allied to the most illustrious reigning; families of Europe, being dragged to a police-office on a charge of pocket picking is, we may safely ax.sert, without parallel.—Lancaster Guardian. LOWERING OF RENT. The following acknowledgment appears as an ad vertisement in the Limerick Chronicle, and should be transcribed into all other papers, as an .admonition to landlords to go and do likewise. Mr. Monsell does the thing well. Here is no rack-rent reserved in his lease—no temporary indulgence granted with a view to a future haul ; but a permanent abatement is made which will make his tenants " comfortable during their lives." Mr. Monsen is a Tory, and, if all Tories were as honest as he is, Sir Robert Peel might open the ports to- morrow : " PUBLIC TuArms.—We, the undermentioned tenants, on the estates of Kildonnell and Balleymar martin, the property of 'William Monsen, Esq., of Tervoe, do hereby r e t urn our most sincere thanks to our kind landlord above named, for the liberal abate ment he has been pleased to give us in the rents of our respective farms, which amounts to the one-fourth thereof, and which act of generosity we consider will render us comfortable during our respective lives, for which we and our families will for ever pray for his, welfare here and hereafter.
