The number of Propeials which are usually made dur ing the brat quarter of the year, with the view of entitling the applicants to the benefit , of the payment of that year's Premium, in reference to the approaching period of invee tigatiou, renders it necessary to repeat the NOTICE, that all Proposals of Assurance intended to be submitted to the Directors, at the Weekly Court held every Monday, mint be lodged with the Manager, (or with the Agents in Glasgow and elsewhere, in sufficient time to admit of their being received at the Dead Office) on or before the Satur day preceding, otherwise they cannot be taken into consi deration till a subsequent Court. This Society was founded on the original model of the Equitable Society of London. It may justly be considered National Institution, being the oldest,' and having long been the sole Parent Offioe is Scotland for the purpose of life Assurance, and still remaining the only Scottish Insti tution which affords an opportunity to the public of secur• iag the important advantages arising from the principle of I,loUttiti sontributionsbip. The value of this principle, which excludes any interest distinct from that of the aiet insuring, and by which, therefore, the Whole surplus Ponds of the Society are secured to the Members, will iletrly appear, on reference to the following ab,tract flout %it list of etnerged'Policice, dated in 1819, viz. a um Date — Date A ieured.

Se rapid accordingly has been the growth of • 6 4 Society, that within the last twelve years the annual it venue has increased from £2,300 to upwards of Forty.five litontand Pounds per Annum; and the accumulated Fund from £3,000 to nearly Two Hundred and Twenty Thou iland Pounds Sterling ;--and both are in a state of steady dad rapid increase. . - The first periodical investigation of the Society's afriirs . k place at 31st December, 1824, when large additions, : ~ . way of Bonus, were declared to th e A ssu r an c es e n • -!. d thereto.

VISCOUNT GObERICH ON ,THE RE- VENUE AND, PANIC IN Iks, When Lord Goderich was entrusted with the seals of the Exchequer, in 1823, circumstances were, in many respects, favourable to him. Con siderable reductions had previously taken place in the public expenditure, various taxes bad been materially diminished, and the produce of the Revenue was improving. The ratio between income and expenditure had become such as to leave a coesideritble surplus, and his Lordship lost no time in availing himself of this circuity stance, tor the purpose of commencing a syste matic diminution of our heavy taxation, which upon .every account he deemed to be essential to the well-doing of our finances. He opened the subject to the House of Cnmmons at an un usually early period of the Session (a practice to .t which he uniformly adliered,in subsequent -ye:ipi), and after shoving nil the surplus might be taken at 7,200,000/. lie proposed an immediate reduction of direct taxes to the amount of 2,200,0001: or 2,300,0001., including the whole of the assessed taxes in Ireland. He appears to have thought that many reasons com bined to render it more advisable to make at once this great reduction upon the assessed taxes, which were felt by all classes to press with peculiar severity.; and the satisfaction with which this measure was received by the publie,. justi fied his determination. He took, however at . • the same time another step in the reduction of duties, founded upon a different prinCiple, to which it: is material to advert, not . only on ac count of its intrinsic importance; but because he afterwards carried it still further with the most complete success. There had long' prevailed, both in Ireland and in Scotland, an extensive and, most mikhievous system of illicit distil lation; various means had been resorted to for suppressing it, but without success ; and the description which Lord Goderich gave of its evil character and consequences, was in no degree overcharged. r There seemed to remain no alternative but such an effectual diminution of the duty upon spirits in that part of the United kingdom, as would take away from the illicit distiller the temptation to prosecute his unlaw ful and demoralizing traffic. No diminution, however, would have proved effectual, that was not carried to an extent which many might have thought would cost the revenue more than upon Lord Goderich's calculation it could afford. He, however, came to a different con clusion ; and although the loss to the revenue consequent upon the 'diminution which he Fm posed, would have been no less than 800,0001. per iannum, if the measure did not effect its object. of stopping illicit distillation, he never theless was so satisfied 'that it would fully an swer the intended purpose, that he did not hO mitate to incur the risk, Mating at the. time hie entite conviction,' that in the result no loss whatever to the revenue would be sustained. The accounts since laid before Parliament en tirely warrant this anticipation. Lord Gode rich acted upon this principle upon various subse quent occasions, and duringthe four yearsiu which he was charged with the duties of Chancellor of the Exchequer, he repealed taxes to the amount of no less than 9,000,0001. it is not necessary to go into detail upon this subject, but it may be stated generally, that his plan appears to have been to apply the modification of taxes systema tically to the following, objects. 1. The dimi nution of the annoyance and pressure of the di rect orassessed taxes. 24 The suppression of smuggling, and the extension of legitimate com merce, by the diminution of duties either highly restrictive, or positively prohibitive. 3. rhe extension of the hothe consumption of various articles, the duties upon which were so high es to constitute a material portion of their total charge to the consumer. Differences may natu rally exist as to the precise mode in which these principles were applied, but no one, we think, can deny that they were sound in themselves; and Lord Goderich has since had the gratification of finding that his hopes of effecting good have been completely realized, and that a reduction of duties amounting to 9,000,0001. has not upon an average cost the Revenue more . than 2,000,0001.; a sum considerably less than he had ventured to anticipate, and evincing , a large and regular increase in the consumption* by the mass of the people, of all articles charged with duty. these measures were in progress, we find, upon reference to the proceedings in Parliament, that Lord Goderich's attention was also steadily applied to a reduction of the great expense of collecting the. Revenue, and many important measures, aiming at that object, were carried into effect ; and although it is obvious that the full benefit of such measures cannot in any case be attained at once, a great diminution Of the charge 'was immediately brought ahout.: Our limits will not permit us to enlarge upon other parts of Lord Goderich'a administration of the finances, which nevertheless involve ques tions of much interest in themselves; but in the year 1825 events took place, commonly called the panic, to which we feel bound to advert, be. , cause Lord Goderich has been most unjustly charged with having first tended to promote' it by the exaggerated picture which he drew in that year of the pro s p erous con diti on of the country, and of having afterwards accelerated its effects by the language which he used; in conjunction with Lord Liverpool, upon the subject of country banks in England, in a correspondence with the Governor of the Bank. , With respect to the first charge, w e w ill g i ve his defence in his own words, as delivered in the House of Commons in the year 1826:—" By coming boldly to the discussion of that remedy, it would be seen that the difficulties of the plan which he had suggested had been considerably over-rated, and that the fears of the country bankers bad been carried to an extravagant length, And when he mentioned the country bankers, let him not be misunderstood. Ile condemned the taw under which they acted, but he did not condemn them• it wds to the system, anti not to the men, that be alluded; and it was that system which he was anxious to alter. ..ks to the indivi duals connected with the present private banks, he believed firmly that generally they were en- , titled to the highest praise for honour, integrity, and stability. It was the system under ;Mob they . acted that produced the evil; and ht felt convinced, that the alteration in that law which ho now submitted to the CommittPe, wPuld not have the effect of shaking that confidence which the country was disposed to place in them."— We will add on our own part, that we quite con cur in these statements, and that we cannot take so narrow a view of the condition of such a country as this, as to conceive that it is to be estimated by , the events of one particular year. Human foresight cannot anticipate every fluctuat tion of circumstances; human prudence cannot avert every casual evil ; the duty of the Minister and the Legislator is to act upon sound 'print ciples; with honest intentimis ; and he may con fidently entertain the hope of seeing most of tlinJ difficulties which are incident to civil so. ciety, successfully overcome.' With respect to the second charge to which wehave alluded, it has always appeared to us to be perfectly unfounded. . It proceeds from a sort of assumption that the correspondence in question preceded the panic, whereas it 'did not.: tine place, and certainly was not made public till long after confidence had begun to ' revive, and business had reverted to its natural channels., The first symptom of the panic took place in August, 1825, when the Plymouth bank failed. It is now known to have long been in a rotten condition ; but its dealings were exten sive, and the consequences of its failure spread fir and wide, producing universal alarm : other banks gave way in succession, both in 'London and the country ; some which were perfectly sound were severely run upon, and exposed to great danger ;:the value of all public securities rapidly deteriorated; the stocks fell ; money was hastily and extensively drawn out of the savings' Banks; Exchequer bills, which had been at a high premium, fell to a discount, and many holders of them required money in lieu of fresh bills, when the period of payment came round. The Bank of England in the mean time was ex posed to a formidable' drain upon its specie, and we have good reason to believe that many influential persons urged upon the Ministers the absolute necessity of an Order of Council, to prevent the Bank from paying its notes in gold. The Government, however, firmly resisted every suggestion of that sort; they saw the tremendous evils which would infallibly result from its adoption, and they had good reason at that time, from a variety of concurrent circumstances, to : deny its necessity and even its expediency. The event jnoitied their firmness ; and it was not until all immediate cause of alarm seas over, and the Bank relieved from any chance of danger, that Lord Liverpool and Lord Goderich called upon that body to consider in what mode the country might be best protected against the re currence of' so great a miSchief. The corre spondence in question was not laid before Par liament till the month of February, 1826. It is then evident that, evenif exception may rea sonably be taken to any particular expressions in that correspondence, no part of the previous panic can by possibility be ascribed to it. We have not space to notice with any parti cularity the measures brought f orwar d by Lord Liverpool and his colleague, for improving as they thought, the condition of our currency; but with respect to the first, which provided for the extinction of one-pound notes at an earlier period than was settled by the then existing law, Lord Liverpool and Mr. Robinson proceeded upon the principle, that the inconveniences which might be felt from the want of the smaller notes, and the possible contraction of the general cur rency which it might occasion, would be fairly Counterbalanced by the security which all other issues of Bank paper would derive from it; and as to the other measure which was intended to give greater , facilities to the establishment of country banks upon the Scotch system, but Which was rendered comparatively inoperative from the difficulties arising out of the Bank Charter, we will only say upon this occasion, that we agree with what Lord Goderich stated last 'Session in the House of Lords, that the time is fast approaching when these difficulties must be entirely removed.—National Portrait Gallery cj") Illustrious and Eminent Perionages.' REFORM-REPEAL OF THE UNION. PUBLIC BREAKFAST. (Abridged from the Dublin Morning Re.iister of Wedneldity.) Yesterday the usual weekly public breakfast of the friend:, of the repeal of the Union was given in Mr. Home's Hotel. Long before the hour appointed for the commencement of the d mission, the large rooms of the hotel became so excessively crowded, that it was found absolutely necessary to adjourn to the Public Mart, Before the udjournment was carried into effect, there were loud calls for Mr. Ronayne. Mr. JONAYNrt rose and said, Gentlemen, on ap proaching this lions° a printed plecard was put into my hand, commencing 'with the word itigralitude," and appealing to our generosity and gratitude, as Irishmen, in favour of a public proce.sion in honour of the new Lord Lieutenant % arrival in 'llk country. Were that illustrious noblern,in to approach our ~hores as the Marquis Of Anglesea simply, and not 44 the representative of a government winch avows its hostility to the restoration of our rights in the restitution of our domeittic legislature, no man would be more anxious than I would to evince the respect, the, edmiration, the gratitude, and affection every lionest Irishman feels for him personally .—(Cheers.) —But, gentlemen, under existing circumstances, would net any_ public demonstration, such as that contemplated by the writer of this anonymous placard, be construed into an evidence of public ap. provel of the sentiments avowed by the Gallant Marquis on the subject of the repeal—at approbation of some of the first acts of Earl Prey's administration with respect to Ireland—l allude to some of the recent law appointments.—(Hear, hear.)—That Noble Earl has lately stated himself to be unac quainted with the state of Ireland. I urn glad he has made the avowal, as it at least exculpates him front the charge of intentional insult to her feelings, by the elevation of Mr. Doherty to the dignity of a Chief Justiceship.—(Cheers.) We had on Satur day a sdlendid procession in honour of him, who has done more for is country than any Man Lying, or, indeed, any man who has gone-before him; that display was gratifying to every lover of Ireland, not merely because it was affection's tribute of gut'. tide and respect, but because it was an mi. ,eqoittocal, a decieive manifestation of politic opintop in fOvour of a repeal of the linion.—(Hear, hear.) -=Can it be any !mixer justly considered IQ, if we be so' inconsistent as tobave last week given a triumphal reteptioe to the great champion of repialoutil this week a similar coMpliment to him who is its de• dared enemy, and who has beep, believe, se lected as Viceroy of this country, in t h e f oo li s h expectation that his popularity would have the effect of diverting us from our efforts for the regeneration o . Ow, country ?-4 Heart bear.) - ~' Gentlemen, I thank God, the day is fast approach. ing when all sectened parties in this country - will merge their unhallowed dissensions in remiss, love for Ireland. Does not the cheering union of orange and green, which we witnessed on Saturday, justify my anticipations:—(Great cheers,)—The time+ in which we live are peculiarly favourable to the march of liberty everywhere. Paris hoe. struck the' firat blow for liberty, and. behold the glorious cnnse quences in the independence of Belgium and PO land,—(Loud cheering.) , At the conclusion of Mr. Boneyne's speech, it was decided to adjourn to the Mart. In a few mi• nutes this wide and extensive building was filled; and when Mr. O'Connell entered the place of meet ing, there could not be less than two thousand gen. tlemen present; there were also 950 ladies, who came for the purpose of witnessing the proceedings. Upon his entranettafe. O'Connell was received with the most entiiiiiiastic cheers. . A chair was procured and placed on 'the centre table; Mr. Mar key was first called on to preside, which he did for a short time;_ he was then succeeded by. Mr. Wil liam Kertland, and the proceedings Went on with their usual regularity. Mr. 'O'CoNsxm ascended the table, nrttly. In doing so, he perceived Mr.'M'Cleery was amongst the gentlemen in attendance, immetifistrty stretched out his hand to Mr.,MfCletry, and seid, " Shake hands with me„.l.lavy.'' The offer was cordially accepted by Mr. M'Cleery,l and kastis were shaken by these two men, who forAtersetatty veins had been so violently, politie4lly. israf t ,-v!ts ;nay say, personally opposed to eseh other* 't+e - , cene excited the Met enthusiastic joy in O l e assembly. When the cheers had subsided, Mr. O'Connell proceeded to say, " it does my heart good to see a little aggregate of Irishmen ag.ein. _I .trit, indeed, delighted to see Irishmen now cungre» pled for no party or sectarian purpose, but meeting with the object of forwarding that which will most tend to the common good of all. lam delighted to see an assemblage into which no dissensions are *l - to enter—where all our former, differences vanish, and where our only contest is to be—who can serve Ireland best.—(Hear and cheers.) Many topics of public interest have been discussed at those breakfasts; bat, latterly, the alleabserbing question of the repeal of the Union has set all other matters to rest. That question is one of too much wind importance—it combines within itself so many great interests—it is a question of life and den, h —cam bining within itself the existence of our country as a nation,--involving at once the charities of public find of private life—the support of our leboisrit.g poor and the employment of our wretched artisans—it is one so great, so vast, and so important, that in it (it cannot be wondered at) all ethers should for e time be absorbed.—(Hear.) Our recollection of other topics is now, however, revived, and we cornet back to the discussion of them with double energy and enereuved zeal.—(Hettr.) Among. thee que - dons is the great ono of Parliamentary Reform—it, now comes forward in a new 'bap*. We now see, for the first time in the memory of man, all England coming forward to look for Reform—all Scoduid, too, is requiring Parliamentary Reform. The people of England are demanding it in a manner too fright ' ful to be neglected; their determination to obtain Reform is followed by a destruction of property too awful for any government to hesitate iss their retro lutions as to what is necessary for them to lio, Ire their present efforts for Reform, I may be told that the present Ministry do not require any impulse from abroad.—(gstar.) Ido sot believe it. The . present Whig Ministry, before they came iettrottice protnised a great deal. I believe that they are in clined to do nothing, if the voice of the people:do not compel them. There are, I think, amongst, them, many who would be sorry to be obliged to keep their words.—(llear.) In this censure Ido not.aman,to include Lord Althorp. lam convinced that if there be an honest man in place (and it it ex tremely difficult to find one), Lord Althorp is that , man. He was one of the minority of 2 who joined with me in seeking for the vote by ballot—for be it knovin that thud the honour to be the first ,man in the House of commons who proposed Ow eotorilb,Y ballot. Irishman ' demagogue, .and Pepiet .ass 1 tam, , this honour must be conceded to me at all events, — (Loud cheers.) it %%snot fashionable at that time to countenance the vote by ballot. Lord Althorp, however, scorned to be fashionable, and he voted honestly with me for that great measure of Reform. Lord Althorp is certainly an honest men. - There is another honest man in .the. Ministry, and, what is more remarkable, that man is a lawyer.—(Litughter.) I do believe that. Denman, the AttorneyeDene ral, would set at defiance all the baits of ell the books the devil could provide for him. I Kay-thise because I am certain of his support, as an individual, "olthe 13111 of which I hove given notice, and in which it should be provided that the truth should be given in evidence in all prosecutions for libel. — (Hear and cheers.) There are a great many be longing to the present Ministry of whom I entertain but a slight opinion, and Mr. Spring. Rica is one of whom his countrymen, I can tell him, " think but small beer of."—(Leughter.) Ile was extremely anxious to have my support in Limerick, though he carefully kept away from me when a conspiracy was formed against me.—( Hear.) . 1 do stow tell " small beer Rice," that he shall yet hear of me in Lime. rick; rind I think I shall turn his " small beer" sour. —(Laughter.) As to Earl Grey, I declare that I have not the least confidence in him. Ile was a democrat in early life .-- he became a Lord, Clod knows how or in what Whig revolution, and he now begins to talk of " aiw order,"---(Year, hear.) He will be obliged to do something for England he must do something for Scotland—and with re spect to Ireland, what does he do ? Ile threatens us with Proclamations and Algerine Acts. Earl Grey, I defy you.--(Cheers.) Here, from this place, encircled as I ,am by Orangemen and:Ce tholics, I tell you I defy you.--(Hear, heariend loud cheers.) Can I have any confidence in, an Ad ministration which could have so thenooncul us ? Can I have confidence in an AdMinitinatiOn which could have mud/ ,such legal amingemtnis as have recently taken phi.., and of which I, shall nor now think snore horribly that to say, that Al were such as no honest man of any party ran be settefied with? --(Bear,) Are we, , through. confidence in them, to Abandon the question of Parliamentary Reform ? Are we to cease in our exertions to. serve-our country, because a few Lords and men of property choose to keep away from us. We have beta used to a kind of aristocratic protection in our pobreal proceedings, and this is ow* great resents why I have been delighted at emancipation, because it line relieved us from that species ofpetrototge. In the struggle for emancipation, I had to resist the at tacks of its opponents, and to endure the *hose of those arrayed against tee; but of all other, the thing most galling to my, heart, and which 1 always considered must dehaving to myself was, the ,pis. twine of those Lords and great Gentlemen who pretended to be our friends, and who wished to keep us in bondage, that they might continuo tlaeair mighty patronage. As I am upon this sidiject, wish to say a few words of theMarquie of Anelesea. It line, I am told, been mid, that I desired a public ins u lt 'Wield be offered to him upon hi* entry into Dublin. I wished, I desired no such thing—it would be un worthy in me to do so. It would be unworthy of the people to exhibit any manifest disrespect fa rthe Noble Lord; but, on. the other hand, the declaration of Earl Grey, and the arrangeinents in the Owns of justice, tlittentide him from any part iculer compli ment from the people. (Hear, and cheers.) I de not presume to Wetter*, with the wisbo i of i le public on this point; but On the one hand, as I con sider that it would be base to ntler the Noble Mar quis any disrespect, *o, on the other, would it be abject elavery to join in any compliment to him..
