HAGUE, MAY 6.—The order of the day was the de bate on the Project of Law, fur reducing the members of the Chamber of Accounts from sixteen to nine. After some debate, it was adopted by 59 votes to 21. The answer of the Government to the remarks of the Sections on the Project of Law, for restraining the licentiousness of the press, and also a new or amended Project of the Law, have lately been received by the Chamber, and will be shortly distributed among the members. l htto 961 ; V IENNA, APRIL 2S.—Metalli ques 102 ; F our per C en t. Bank Shares 1352. The following are extracts from Lisbon Ga ' zettes LISBON, APRIL 27.—Letters from different parts of Brazil, viz. Rio, Pernambuco, Bahia, and Maranham, lately received at Oporto, state that on the 28th February, at three quarters past seven in the evening, the President of the province of Bahia had been assassinated in the public square of that city, by a musket-shot fired at him by a horseman. It is added that that city was in the greatest state of confusion in consequence of the numerous parties, and many assassinations had taken place. Some letters from Bahia of 13th March, state that forty assassi nations had been committed in IFebruary. We direct the attention of our readers to some admirable remarks (which will be found in our Spirit of the Public Journals) from the Times of this mornin g on the subject of the Bishop of LONDON'S Letter to the inhabitants of London and 'Westminster. His Lordship, it seems, la ments exceedingly, that the Sabbath dinner par ties of great folks are invariably published in the Papers. We can assure the Bishop, that the publication of these somewhat irreverent ovations, in nine cases out of ten, takes place at the express desire of the parties themselves, by whom the minute particulars are supplied, and liberally paid for• It is evident, therefore, that so far from being ashamed of their proceedings, they make it a matter of boast. Has his Lordship himself 'lever attended any of these Sabbath dinner Parties ?--Or has his Steward never entered the Price of a dinner paragraph in the Morning Post, in the list of his weekly charges ? The only alteration by the new Stamp Act of the t axes on literary undertakings is, as to Great Britain, the reduction of the Duty on Sh eet Almanacs from ls. 3d. to 6d., and on B ook Almanacs from is. 3d. to ls., with pro- Portionate abatement for Perpetual Almanacs ; whilst, as to Ireland, the Duty on Book Alma nacs is to be raised from 9d. to ls. But although a fitter opportunity never presented itself for a repeal, or at least a large reduction in the War Taxes on Newspapers and Advertisements, which have been, contrary to all good faith, con tinued to t h e sixteenth year of peace, we are now, it seems, to be doomed to pay them in perpetuity ; and that the Press of Great Britain may not be w i t h out a compan i on un d er i ts t urt hem, the iron rod is to be applied also to the Press of Ireland, and Irish Newspapers are to Pay 4d. each instead of 2d., with the addition of Is. to their Advertisement Duty of 2s. 6d. If this be not in absolute contravention of the _articles of Union, sure we are that no Irish Par liament could ever have been brought to sanction a scheme which is both unreasonable and un- Principled, and calculated to extinguish a large Portion of the Irish Newspapers, which, in the Present state of that country, are more than ordi narily essential to the public welfare. But we, on this side of the Channel, are not without good cause of complaint. We are to continue subject to a direct Stamp Duty, equiva lent to 133 per cent. upon every Newspaper Published, the cost of which is otherwise en hanced by indirect taxation, and especially by the excise on paper. It is obvious that if a Newspaper had no other profits than those arisin g from its circulation, it would require that c irculation to be very extensive indeed to make the undertaking worth entering into. The Stamp Duties, however, as if it were not suf ficient to impede the circulation by a direct tax of 133 per cent., interpose to prevent people advertising in Newspapers, and though men's necessities drive them, to a certain extent, to ad vertise at the present high prices, there can be no doubt that the number of advertisements would be infinitely augmented if the expence of them could be more generally afforded. Th e proof of this is contained in Mr. POULETT TRomsoN's excellent speech of the 25th March l ast, in which he shewed how considerably the annual number of advertisements in Great Britain fell short of those in the United States, solely f ront over-taxation. There being no distinction arisin g from the length or the nature of the ad vertisement, the hardship of this is the greater in such instances as those of servants advertising for places, short literary announcements, sales of small estates, and miscellaneous articles, which require frequent repetition, and in a variety of other cases which, as must be apparent to every one, cannot bear much expence. A large por tion of the public are thus deprived of the means of makin g known their wants on moderate terms, whilst the Press, with the exception of one or two leading Jo urnals, is prevented from making such advantages by advertisements as to counter balance the pressure of the Newspaper Duty. Great exertions, and large capitals have, indeed, enabled the daily Press of this metropolis to bear up against burthens which, in no other country in the world, could possibly have been borne; but it is no less true than disgraceful to the British Legislature, that the Press has for some years existed, and still does exist, not under the encouragement and protection, but in spite of the hostility and persecution, of the law. We again implore the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to pause, before he determines to take the sense of the Muse upon the renewal of these Duties. We beseech him to con sult persons of other and more enlarged views than those by whom this Bill appears to have been framed. Let Government go to the Stamp-office for information on matters of routine and technicalities, but let not the offi cers of the revenue be wholly relied on in their estimation of the effects of an important financial measure. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER should look to other countries, and see whether their example is not worthy of imitation, to the extent, at least, of the toleration of News papers here. The timbre upon Journals in France, taking the average of the different sizes of sheets, is stated by M. DUPIN not to exceed 1 1.3 d centime, or about the tenth part of a penny; and, at most, the duty both in France and the Netherlands does not amount to a sous per sheet. M. QUETELET, of Brussels, has calculated that the stamp duties upon Journals are, to the population, in the ratio of—for France, 1 centime—for the Netherlands, 5 cen times—and for Great Britain, 69 centimes, to each individual. Is it not then almost a joke to talk of the liberty of the British Press, when that Press pays so enormous a sum to the Govern ment, as the price of its very existence ? We call upon those Members of Parliament who are distinguished for their zeal for educa tion, and the diffusion of knowledge, to support Mr. THOMSON'S promised motion for the Re lief of the Newspaper Press from Taxes which were, like many others, originally imposed as temporary, but have not ceased with the circum stances which suggested them. We maintain that the people of this country are greatly be holden to the London and the Provincial Press, for the mass of information, however miscel laneous, which is thereby spread throughout the land. The Press, though not free from evil, is a great and powerful instrument of good, and to check and obstruct its progress is to retard the advance of civilization. This is a consi deration of which there are now happily many, both in and out of Parliament, who duly appre ciate the importance. Let them, then, do what in them lies, to turn the Government from its indifference to the peculiarly oppressive taxation of the Press, and to procure such a modification of the new Stamp Act as will be equally con sistent with the interests of the revenue and the wants of the public. ERRATUM.—In our article of Friday on the new Stamp Bill, the Duties on Irish Cash Credit Bonds were, by a mistake of the printer, said to be raised from 10s. to 11. 10s. It should have been "from 101. to 1101." The French Papers of Friday and Saturday contain no news. Two official documents, rela tive to Greece and Xrince LEOPOLD, will be found in another column. The price of the Funds on Saturday will be seen in our City article. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY). HOUSE OF LORDS. The House sat on Scotch Appe a ls to-day; the Lords present were the Logn CHANCELLOR, and Earls ELnoli and DOUGLAS. SIR JAS. MONTGOMERY V. THE MARQUIS OF QUEENSBURy. This case, involving many questions Gf Scotch entail, occupied their Lordships the whole morning. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. IN THE MATTER OF SCRIVENER, A BANKRUPT. The petition in this case, the object of which was to discharge an order pronounced by his Honour some time since, on the ground of irregularity in filing the affidavit on which the order was made, was heard late on Saturday. His HONOUR, on coming into Court this morning, said that his reason for not disposing of this matter on Saturday was his desire of not doing so until he had had an opportunity of making inquiries into that which was alleged as a fact, namely, that the affidavit upon winc4 the Court made the order, was filed on the 24th of April. Upon that inquiry the Court found the fact to be this, that the order made on the 24th of April was obtained upon the original affidavit, before that affidavit was filed. This fact had not been brought to the knowledge of the Court, if he had, the Court would never have made the order it did ; for it was a rule with his Honour never to make orders of this kind in any case, unless the affi davit upon which the application was made, was both sworn and filed. It was a fact, not unworthy of ob servation, that when the order was pronounced by the Court upon the statements contained in an affidavit which was supposed by his Honour to be both sworn and filed; that the party obtaining the order went immediately to the bankrupt's office, urging the drawing up of the order, without taking with him the affidavit upon which the order was made; the production of that affidavit being required, it was brought into the office, but taken out again, and it was not brought back till the 28th of April, on which day it had been filed. His Honour could not but designate this as a very gross abuse of the mode of proceeding with respect to filing affidavits, and his opinion was that the order he had formerly pro nounced must be discharged, and the solicitor visited with the costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. BURTON ALE.-THE RING V. BALDWIN AND OTHERS. Mr. Bitoutsurwat said, it would be in the recollection of their Lordships, that last Term Mr. Campbell obtained a rule for a criminal information against the defendants, booksellers in Paternoster-row, for having published a libel on the Bolton ale brewers, charging them with mixing deleterious drugs with their beer. The matter was then ordered to stand over, that further inquiry might be made. He had now, in consequence, to state, that the Burton ale brewers were most respectable men ; they had consented to open their brewhouses, and subject the liquor to the most minute examination. He had also to state, on the part of the author of the artiole complained of (who had himself been a prac tical brewer for twenty years), that he had been misled in his statement. He had stated, that it was impossible to make such Burton ale as was usually sold from malt and hops alone, and that drugs must be used. On inquiry, however, it turns out, that the springs at Burton from which the beer is brewed run over rocks, which gives the water a certain saline impregnation. He (Mr. Brougham) had therefore to state, that the defendants being satisfied of this fact, had consented to give publicity to it in a future number of the work in which the alleged libel at first appeared, and the plaintiffs bad in consequence consented that the rule should be discharged. Mr. CAMPBELL said the only object of his clients in applying for a criminal iuformation, was a vindication of their character. He had the affidavits of every brewer of Burton ale stating that that beverage was brewed en tirely from malt and hops, and they were quite willing, if any persons wished to satisfy themselves on that point, to afford them every opportunity of inspecting the process of brewing. Mr. BiCouctuss.—We admit that there is nothing deleterious in Burton ale.—(A laugh.) Lord TENTERDEN.-Lovers of Burton ale may now drink with impunity.—(Laughter.) Mr. BROUGHAM.-With moderation, my Lord.—Rule discharged. Their Lordships heard arguments in the special paper until One o'clock, when the Court rose, and Lord Ten tarden afterwards sat at Nisi Prins.

The Quebec Papers state that on Saturday evening last that city was visited by a storm, accompanied by loud thunder and vivid lightning, unusual at so early a period of the season. His Excellency closed the Session with the following speech : " 1 thank you, in his Majesty's name, for the supplies which you have granted in aid of the monies already ap propriated by law for defraying the expenses of the Civil Government, and for the administration of justice ; but it becomes my duty at the same time to express my regret that the grant is not to the full amount required for the public service, and for the payment of certain arrears of salaries, and other charges included by his Majesty's ex press demand in the estimate which was submitted to you. " Gentlemen of the Legislative Council:— " A new formation of the Militia and of the Magis tracy, under the laws to which I have just given his Ma jesty's assent, are subjects which will engage my earnest and immediate attention. The liberality of the appropria tions for the advancement of education—for the security of navigation; for the improvement of the great internal communications of the Province; and for other objec.s tending to increase the productive industry of the people,. has afforded me the highest satisfaction, and you may rely on my applying to the best of my judgment the monies which you have been pleased to place at my disposal, to the various purposes which they are intended to promote."

In Coffee the transactions are 340 casks sold to the grocers at, in some instances, rather lower rates. Accounts have been received at Marseilles from Alex andria, which. state that the Egyptian squadron had left that port, but their destination was not known ; also that '5,000 cavalry were to take their departure. (From the Aviso of May I.) The naval army will form three divisions. TOULON, MAY 4.—To-day the Dauphin passed in re view the army assembled here, and went on board the shipping, which performed several evolutions.

Ft is also asserted that the troops forming the garrisons of Elvas, Abrantes, Almeida, and Valencia are going to laz called to proceed towards the capital, but the cause of this move ment is not as yet known. It is said that Don Miguel is going to try another expedition against Terceira. MADRID, Arai'. 27.—The correspondence between this Government and Portugal has become very frequent, as it appears tluit the Liberals at Terceira give great uneasiness to Don Miguel ; and we understand that in case they make an attempt to land in Portugal, our Govern ment will assist Don Miguel with eight or ten thou sand men. THE FUNDS. Consols which left off on Saturday at 92 a for the Ac count, opened this morning at 921; the same for Money. The Bulletin of his Majesty's health issued yesterday is not looked on in the city to be so favourable as was ex pected, as it does not appear that the symptoms of the malady have as yet made any essential change. In the Foreign Market the chief operation this morning is in Spanish Bonds, owing to a report from Paris that a great speculator in the above Bonds had shot himself. The above Bonds had fallen 1 per cent., since which a re-action has taken place, and they have a little improved. ENGLISH Bank Stock, 213% 1451 India Stock, ` ) 3 ( 4, 40% 3 per Cent.

Yesterday an English frigate hove in sight, and communicated with the Syrene : her Captain went on board, and had a long con ference, with the Commandant, after which she proceeded into the port of Algiers, and the following morning she returned to the Syrene, but nothing has transpired as yet of these communications; but it is said that all the Con suls have received orders to reti:e into the interior, and the Dey is determined to receive our expedition, for which extraordinary preparations are making. Accounts from Mexico state that the Government had received intelligence of General Anaya having entered Oajara, leaving his division at Ecta; in consequence of which great rejoicings took place at Oajara. They write from Poland that the Emperor of Russia has consented to deduct four millions of ducats from the sum which the Turks were to pay to him, and that Count Diebitsch was going to leave the army, and proceed to the Congress, to receive orders from the Emperor.

MORNING GENERAL ORDER BY THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF. HEAD-QUARTERS, CALCUTTA, JAN. I, 1830. _ 1. The Commander in Chief, on resigning the Com mand of an Army, whose discipline has been, for the last four years, a primary object of his solicitude; whose ex ertions and gallantry he has witnessed ; whose interests, consequently, can never be foreign to him ; gladly avails himself of this last opportunity of recording his testimony to its frequently acknowledged merit, and to the claim it has established, by its conduct and its services, to the gra titude of its country. 2. Alive as he must ever be, to every incident or change by which its prospects may be affected, it is a source of the highest satisfaction to him, that he resigns his com mand into the hands of an Officer, whose public life and character afford the surest pledge of the spirit in which the honourable trust will he received, and of the manner in which its responsible duties will be discharged. 3. Contrasting, as of late he has had opportunities of doing, the accuracy, the precision, and above all, the fa cility with which the prescribed field movements are, at present, executed, with the occasional unsteadiness of the men, and the more frequent want of self-confidence and self-possession which be could not but notice, on the part of Commanding Officers of Corps and Brigades, at the more early period of his command, Lord Combermere congratulates the Army on this obvious and essential im provement; and if on recollecting the pleasure he had in endeavouring to promote it, they should ascribc, somewhat of it to his attention and encouragement, it will gratify him to associate the discharge of so important a part of his duty, with the necessary result of their zealous and persevering exertions. 4. Where all have so faithfully and zealously discharged the duties of their respective situations, it would be invi dious to particularize individuals; but Lord Combermere cannot pass by the name of the Chief of the Staff, to whose unremitting attention to the arduous duties of his most imp'itant and responsible office, and the ability and impartiality with which he has carried on those functions, the Commander in Chief and the Service in general are so much indebted, without placing upon record his acknow ledgment of the meritorious services of Colonel Fagan. 6. The Commander in Chief now takes leave of the Army, whose. subordination, general conduct and achieve ments he will have so much pride in recollecting, with the expression of his warmest wishes for their welfare and 'prosperity, and with the assurance that he can never cease to take the most lively interest in their happiness and suc cess. By order of his Excellency the Commander in Chief, CHRISTOPHER FAGAN, Adjutant General of the Army.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND SPRING MEETING. NEWMARKET, SUNDAY AFTERNOON. This Meeting, although generally productive of good sport, is of inferior importance to either of the preceding, nearly all the horses intended to run for the Derby and Oaks having by this time started for Epsom. The races, therefore, are merely for amusement, and with the York Spring Meeting, fill up the gap which would otherwise ensue between the First Spring and the Epsom weeks. The appearance of the list justifies an expectation that th re will be plenty of running ; and, as many of the stakes and plates will be handicapped, it is also fair to conclude that it will b 3 good. There is one stakes to be decided which, from its unusual value, requires particular notice : It is for five hundred sovereigns each, eleven subscribers, and of these eleven there is not one good horse left, so that it is not likely there will be more than two or three start for it, as the others will, no doubt, prefer paying the 200 sovereigns forfeit. Lord Mountcharles's Gayhurst, by Whalebone, out of Spree's dam (entered in Lord Egremont's name), and Lord Gros venor's Ebury, it is thought, will go for it. Tyke and another or two are also talked of, but it is doubtful whether more than we have above spoken of will come to the post, for even at Newmarket five hundreds are not so plentiful as they were a few years back. There are three or four plates down, and none of them have the strange conditions for starting introduced by his Grace the Duke of Portland in the last meeting. We presume, therefore, that the un ftvourable opinion of it so generally expressed has induced his Grace to abandon it. The Whip may be challenged for either to-morrow or Tuesday, under the usual con ditions, viz. to stake 200 sovereigns each, p.p. and run the B.C. on Tuesday, in the Second October Meeting, carrying ten stone each. The Whip is now in the possession of Mr. Gully, who won it last October with Mameluke against Lamplighter. As there is no Mame luke in that stable now, and several horses who can go the distance and carry the weight, it is probable that the Whip may again change hands. In our former reports we omitted to mention that many very important altera tions and improvements have recently been effected here, not only as regards the race courses and training ground, but on those points u hick comprehend the comfort and accommodation of visitors. Formerly the average number of race horses returned to the Club was a hundred and sixty, now "there are upwards of four hundred, this increase being attributable to the extensive additions made under the directions of the present Stewards, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Lowther, and Mr. Bat son. Until lately it was the custom of the Jockey Club to require every trainer to give a return of the number of race horges in his stable, and pay one guinea for each horse, towards defraying the expence of repairing the course and exercise ground ; it was discovered, how ever, that the returns were not so exact as might have been expected from the general punctuality of the Newmarket trainers ; a meeting therefore was held in the Craven week, when the 54th rule of the Jockey Club was re scinded, and one substituted, which provides for the sur charge of one guinea upon every horse omitted in the list. We have been informed that the collection of this rate is farmed for 3001. a year, by those who have every oppor tunity of ascertaining the truth of the returns. THE DERBY AND OAKS. The near approach of the Epsom Meeting gives import ance to every movement, and as much depends in the bet ting upon the departure of the horses for the scene of action, we have collected the following list of these that have already left Newmarket : (D.) . Sir M. Wood's The Mummer (D.) -- Cetus Hajji Baba (0.) Lord Sefton's Mouche (O.) Lord Sefton's Charlotte West (D) Mr. Rush's c. by Moses—Romp (D.) (O.) (0.) (Three others accompany these four.) (D.) Mr. Petre's Brunswicker (D.) ------ The Major Glenfinlas (D.) Mr. Ramsbottom's Zucharelli (D.) Duke of Portland's c. by Tiresiac—Ambiguity c. by Tiresias—Emily Duke of Richmond's Hindoo Refugee Confederacy Juvenis f. by Whisker—Syma - _ Duchess Those with the letter D placed before them are on the Derby—those with oin the Oaks. Several others will leave in the course of the ensuing meeting. The horses generally are in a healty state. Owing to the change in the weather, few arrivals have yet taken place, nor has there been sufficient betting to al low a quotation. Brunswicker is not in such force for the Derby, nor does the Mummer make any advance. Little Red Rover continues a great favourite. Charlotte West and Maria are in request for the Oaks, and very little be tween them. Carmine has been backed at IS to 1 for this stakes. Moss Ross (a sister to Velocipede) and Lawrie Todd are likely to become good favourites for the St. Leger, in consequence of the clever manner in which they won their races at Chester last week. The present Meeting will terminate on Thursday, to give sufficient time for the company to get to York for the Spring Meeting, which commences to-morrow week. SUNDAY NIGHT.

A special invitation was sent by his MAJESTY to the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, who arrived at the Castle about eleven o'clock on Saturday morning, the King's horses having been despatched to Hounslow to meet the Royal Duchess. Her Royal Highness remained with the Kura till about four o'clock, when the Duchess returned to London. The Duke of CUMBERLAND and Prince GEORGE ar rived about one o'clock ar the Castle, and remained a con siderable time on Saturday. Both the Physicians still re main in close attendance. The Lords of his MAJESTY'S Most Honourable Privy Council held a meeting on Saturday morning at the Coun cil Chamber : the Lords present were the LORD PRESI DENT, the MASTER of the ROLLS, the JUDGE of the An• MIRALTY COURT, the Right Hon. Sir G. ROSE, and Sir GORE OUSELEY, Mr. BULLER was the Clerk of the Council in Waiting. Mr. Poixocx and Mr. Tomurrsox were heard by their Lordships on an appeal, " Santacana y. Alvy v. Ar deval, Gibraltar," on behalf of the appellants. The MASTER of the RoLts then stopped the respondent's reply, and stated their Lordships' opinion to be that no appeal could be ' entertained by the Court from the decree of a Court below, on the ground that that Court had discre dited the witnesses for the prosecution. The appeal was therefore dismissed. The cross-appeal " Frankland v. M'Gusty, and M'Gusty v. Frankland," was called on. The MASTER of the ROLLS stated that he had considered the case as to one of the points in discussion, whether the onus probandi, the bona fides of the acceptance of a partner to a bill of exchange, ought to lie on the separate creditor holding the bill, or on the partner who refused to pay its amount on the ground that it was not a partnership concern. His Lordship was about to give his decision ; but at the request of Mr. Serjeant STEPHEN, who requested to be heard on some new facts, the appeal was further argued. Mr. ALDERSON appeared for the respondents. Judgment was deferred. An ex-parte motion, " Jerrill v. Sheppard," from Barhadoes was granted. Mr. JAMES CAMPBELL opened the appeal "La Mothe v. La Mothe," from the Isle of Man. Their Lordships rose about four o'clock. A deputation from the Licensed Victuallers attended at the Treasury on Saturday, and had a conference with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. The Earl of ABERDEEN and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER visited the Duke of WELLINGTON on Satur day. A deputation of the Cabriolet Proprietors had an inter view with the CHANCIELLOR of the EXCHICQUER and the CHAIRMAN of the COMBIISSIONERS Of STAMPS, at the Treasury, on Saturday. Despatches were yesterday received at the Colonial office, from Sir G Dox, the ,Lieutenant-Governor of Gibraltar, and also from the Hon. General PONSONBY, the Lieutenant-Governor of Malta. The PRESIDENT and VICE-PRESIDENT of the ROYAL COLLEGE of ScaoEows had a conference with the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and the CHAIRMAN of the COMMISSIONERS of STAMPS, on Saturday, at the Treasury. A Cabinet Council was held at three o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, the summonses for the as sembling of which were issued by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER the preceding evening. The ➢liui.ters present were the Duke of WELLINGTON, Earls BATHURST, ROSSLYN, and ABERDEEN, Viseount MELVILLE, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Sir ROBERT PEEL, Sir GEORGE MURRAY, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, and Mr. HERRIES. The Council sat two hours and a half in deliberation. PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE.—An Annual General Meeting of the Members took place on Friday, at the Society's house in Regent-street. In the course of the proceeding some remarks were made on the successful resistance recently made by one of the new Life Offices to the payment of a claim, on the ground of want of interest in the party insured, and enquiry was made as to the practice of the Provident Life Office in such cases. The Managing Director stated, that according to 22 Geo. 3. cap 48. no insurance was valid beyond the pecuniary interest which the insured had in the life at the time of making the claim. He instanced the case of GoosALL on the life of Pm, and the recent case with the Asylum Office, and be said that many of the Life Offices scrupulously examined the pecuniary interest of a claimant before they paid his claim. He added, however, that it was not the practice of the Provident Life Of f ice, and some other of the older Offices to raise the question of interest, or no interest, where the insurance was in other respects fair. The Provident had paid neatly half a million sterling, on upwards of seven hundred claims, and he did not recollect above half a dozen cases where the question a interest had been asked ; and those cases were when the claims were in other respects objectionable. Still this forbearance was a mere act of liberality, and a costly sacrifice. The new Offices which undertook in surances on reduced terms, could not be expected to make such sacrifices if they could avoid them ; and the 14w enabled them to do so ; where the pecuniary interest in a life had ceased there was no safety in continuing an in surance. The best way was to surrender the policy to the Office for a fair price ; but some of the Offices allowed nothing for policies surrendered when an interest had ceased. There were many important differences between Life Offices, and persons would do well to inquire into the peculiarities of each Office, before they opened Life Policies. 0-10. Int, PLE.
