Expressly established for Insurances on the Lives of Mariners, (whether members of the Royal or Mercantile Navy) and Military officers.—lt is to be noted that the Policies of this Company will cover voyages of every description and service 1n every_part of the globe. The Lives of Fishermen and Boatmen also insured. High rates of premium have hitherto operated against this kind of Assurance, but as the scale now adopted will be found as low as is consonant with the risk, it is believed that this fact, coupled with other advantaaes, will induce a great increase of insurers. Deferred Annuities to Mariners granted upon very moderate Premiums. The Premiums for General Assurances are based upon a new ad justed table of mortality.

The extensive business conducted by this Company places it among the first institutions in the kingdom for the Assurance of Lives. The assurances proposed to the Company during the year just concluded, amounted to . . . . . X 413,000 Of which the Directors thought it their duty to reject . 70,000 Policies issued to the extent of . . . . . 348000 Being upwards of one-third of a million, and adding nearly 11,0001. per annum to the Company's revenue. There are various inducements to assurers in this Company, arising from the security which the Company affords—lts equitable rates and its characteristic principle of liberality, whether in the settle trent of claims or facilities to assurers. A distinguishing feature is also to be found in the division of profits, by which it will be observed it confers peculiar advantages upon its policy holders, allowing them in the fullest degree the benefit of survivorship. Policies from this Company steadily continued thus increase very rapidly, holding out great inducement to the best class of lives to give it a preference. A policy opened in 1825 for 1,0001. has been increased in 1840 to . • . 41,337 10 A policy opened in 1826 for 1,0001. has been increased in 1840 to . ...... . . . 1,287 10 Later policies in proportion.

Ile did net say things were not now - ordered better in this respect. lie particularly instances' the union of Liskeard, where, in consequence of the Commissoners having originally omitted to nominate a chaplain there was no spiritual instructor, except a Dissenting minister, Who came there without. being sent for by the inmates. Thee union formed a sort of precedent for the other, and this joined with the exertions of the Dissenters, led to their having no chaplains in any union throughout the diocese. He held in his hand a remarkable proof of the accuracy of that statement. In the union house of St. Austell there was a large room originally designed for a chapel, but no chaplain was appointed, and an unlicensed Dissenting minister preached there twice every Sunday. In Bodmin, where the population of the union amounted to 4,600, there was no chaplain, but the curate gave his gratuitous services one slay in the week to instruct the poor. But in consequence of the extent of his parish it was wholly out of his power to visit them on the Sunday. There was in that house 56 inmates who were old people and unable to walk out of the house to church. There were also 45 children who had no other instruction in religion but what they received from schoolmasters. On Sundays prayers were read by the master, or sometimes by the porter. In St. Germain's union workhouse there was no chapel, and there were thirty-two aged persons who could never stir from the house. Ile carne next to a case of a grave character, that of Penzance. The union contained nineteen parishes, and the population extended to 45,951. There too every exertion was made by the board of guardians to obtain the appointment of a regular chaplain, but the party who resisted that measure succeeded in procuring the appointment of a clergyman who had apostatised from the Church. The clergy of the neighbourhood offered to do the duty gratuitously, but the board of guardians rejected the offer on the ground that it would be against the law, as the statute required that the chaplain must be an officer of the union, and be paid for his services. lie did not say anything against the moral character of the person who was appointed, but that he had cast off the office which he held in the Church. He took away the prefix of reverend from his name, and even went so far as to appear in public in a blue coat and other coloured clothes. Having cast himself from the Church he attached himself to a lady, who was a daughter of a rigid Dissenter, a banker in the town of Pen zance. He went so far as to attend her chapel, and he had his children baptised there. Their Lordships would suppose that the appointment of that gentleman was not mado with his (the Bishop of Exeter's) sanction. It was reported to the Com missioners, and they sent down an Assistant-Commis sioner to inquire into the matter, but having re ceived his Report, they took no further notice of it. It was not long before this time when one of the most bar barous instances of cruelty was enacted in that union, when the master imprisoned an unfortunate female in a dark hole, although she told him that it would be the cause of her death, owing to the state of health in which she was ; and the conse quence was a premature labour and death. The Board of Guar dians notwithstanding retained him in his situation, and it was not until the Assistant Commissioner heard of the matter, that be was discharged. Baptism in that union was administered in the workhouse instead of the parish church, and no registry was made until long after birth in the parish books, in cense gnence of it being considered a private baptism. The Lord's Supper was administered by an unlicensed person, and contrary to the laws of the Church. He should next allude to the parish of Itedruth, which consisted of nine parishes, containing a po pulation of 48,569 souls. appointment of a char,- lain to that union was opposes', and the consequence was, that Divine service was performed by a Dissenting preacher. The Assistant-Commissioner said the law required that some salary should be given, and a nominal sum of 11. per annum was given. This was then taised to 20/., to which 60/. was added by subscription ; and although the salary was thus raised to 90/., no gentleman could be got to discharge the duties in all the workhouses throughout Cornwall. Divine service was performed in the dining-room of the workhouse, to the great detriement of religion; and he trusted that their Lordships, in any Bill they should bring be fore the House, would see that care was taken to provide a proper room, which should be alone devoted to the performance of Divine service and the administration of the sacrament. In the union of Oakhampton, the letter of the resident clergy man stated that the children born in the workhouse were all illegitimate, and were never brought to the church to be baptised. The consequence was, they were never baptised, because the vicar of the parish had no power to go to the union work-bone to baptise a child, unless it was dangerously ill. Hence a great number of those un fortunate children died without baptism, and he need not point out the awful result of such a state of things. The Tiverton union presented an equally lamentable state of matters. He thought that those cases which he had mentioned, and which he could authenticate, formed sufficient grounds for his obtain ing the Committee. The north of England did not present a more cheering aspect. The union of York contained 79 parishes, of which the population was 39,600,000, and in this large union they refused to appoint a chaplain, solely, he be lieved, on the ground of expense. The appointment of a chap. lain was, he thought, generally in the north of England, a question of pounds, shillings, and pence..—(Lord Wharncliffe here nodded hishead.) The Noble Lord seems toassent.—( Lord Wharncliffe here made a gesture of dissent with his head.) The Right Rev. Prelate continued to say that he was glad that the - Noble Lord did not assent, because that was an indi cation that things were not so bad as he had been led to sap pose. In December last the friends 'of religion made another effort to obtain the appointment of a chaplain, but their oppo nents said that the matter had been reported to the Commis sioners, and that they expected a mandamus, so that the friends of religion were again defeated. In the union of Preston, with a population of 69,000, and seventy-throe parishes, there were five union workhouses, in the principal of which there were 418 inmates, of whom 139 were children, and two-thirds of these were members of the Church of England, but there was no chaplain, and the state of health and morals in the workhouse was such that he was sure the gaol was greatly to be preferred. He (the Bishop of Exeter) had received that morning a letter from a clergyman in Macclesfield, who had given his gratuitous services to the poor in the workhouse beyond his strength, and he stated that the board of guardians had given permission to the Wesleyan Methodists to preach twice on the Sunday—a course of reli gious instruction which was attended with more harm than good, for he found it quite impossible to awaken a wholesome religious feeling in the minds of the poor people who attended these preachers. In the union of York, during the last four years, fifty persons had been consigned to the grave without the consolations of religion. In the union of Macclesfield, the gentleman to whom he had alluded informed him that a young woman, who had been shamefully seduced, was admitted int* the work house, and after she had been some time in the women's ward she fortunately fell ill—for it was indeed a fortunate thing to be removed from her depraved companions to the sick ward. The young woman assured him that if she had remained many days longer in the same part of the house she would have gone mad. Ile believed that no woman who was not infallible could remain in the workhouse three weeks without becoming a confirmed prostitute, The schoolmaster, who was a pauper, and could scarcely read and not write at all, was dismissed a few days ago for being intoxicated during Divine service. The writer of this letter, not for any private reasons of his own s requested that the nssne might not be mentioned, as if it were he should be debarred from carrying out his good work by the Dissenting guardian. If this be the case, he (the Bishop of Exeter) would not longer delay an application to the Poor-law Commissioners to induce them to send down to Macclesfield to compel the appointment of a chaplain to the workhouse there, and if they refused to give that order, he would move that their Lordships send an humble address to her Majesty, praying that the Poor•law Commissioners be dismissed, and he was sure such a motion would be successful, because their Lord ships must ho anxious to promote the cause of religion and morality. The Commissioners had declared that they pos sessed the power to compel all guardians to appoint chaplains . to all workhouses under their control. In E.ngland there wore 587 unions, of which 20 were without workhouses, 51 with sufficient houses, and of the remaining 516 unions, 102 had not chaplains, and in those which had chaplains, the average salary was only 30/. a year. The Right Reverend Prelate then went through numerous statistical documents with respect to the corsditions of the poor-law unions, after which he passed an elogium upon the courteeey which he had received trom the Poor-law Commissioners, when he went to them a few days ago for information on which he framed his present motion. Lie was aware that the cry of "Do justice to the Dissenters, " was a leading point, and even in matters of the greatest and most vital importance, the saving of 6d. was considered. But he was determined that the matter should not rest here, and felt sure their Lordships would agree with him that he had given quite sufficient reasons for the motion he was about to submit to them, It was the duty of the Noble Lord (Wharncliffe) to res cue those poor paupers from their wretched condition. He would not do the Noble Lord the injustice to believe that any paltry motives of economy would prevent him from interfering. or that any wretched opposition from Dissenters, whose MOD. 'trona assumption it was impossible the Noble Lord could re spect, would for a moment deter him. The many inmates of prisons and lunatic asylums had their chaplains. Chaplains tts prisons, where the number of prisoners was fifty, received 15041. a year ; where the number was a hundred, 200/. a year ; where the number was more than a hundred, 250/. The Dissenters-. and it was they who opposed the appointment of chaplains to workhouses—were very numerous as guardians, but very small in the workhouses. He asked their Lordships to gr an t t h e Committee of Inquiry. Indeed he did not well know upon what ground the appointment of that Committee could be reasonably resisted. The law was in favour of the appointment of chaplains, and all he required was that the law be enforced. With respect to the question of expense—if a salary of 1001. per annum was given to each chaplain, as there were only 600 unions, the salaries would amount to about 60,0001. Now the value of the property rated annually to the poor was sixty mil lions sterling, and the proportion of 60,000!. to 60,000,0004, was only that of 1/. in 1,000/., which was somewhere about one farthing in the pound, and this farthing the sordid guar dians of the north were unwilling to sacrifice to the best in,. terests, temporal and eternal, of the poor paupers. He was happy to see that powers were to be given to create district schools, so that he entertained the hope of seeing England studded with schools like that of Norwood. The Right Rev.. Prelate then read a Report of Mr. Tuffnell on the state of the poor-house schools, which he submitted was an other cogent reason in support of his motion. Whether Ministers granted the Committee or not, he had done his duty. The responsibility must rest with them. If they re fused a Committee of Inquiry into the matter, the glory of tisk Ministry—the best and most powerful that England bad had for many years—would be eclipsed. The Right Rev. Prelate boards of guardians, b E y ng Pe l : ' w f r t ßae o t l eehedvs,. concluded by moving for a Committee to inquire into the best Right Y means of promoting religious instruction in the workhouses of England and Wales.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—We cannot but think that matter of some wonderment, and of some amusement—new occasion for looking upon our dearly beloved countrymen as tote penitus divisos °rim Brilannos—will be supplied to conti nental Europe by the last fortnight of pleadings pro and con before the Grand Inquest of the nation. The whole has, indeed, been somewhat in the character of Coroner's Inquest on a defunct trial. The trial is no more ; the eonvicts all alive and kicking. The grand convict, the " Anarch old" of Conservative enmity, is there in his place, reading the Minister, who had him con victed of conspiring against the public peace, sage lessons on the dangers to that peace from Lord Devon's commission, "unsettling the minds of the occupiers"— offering Sir R. Peel his " cordial assistance" for such and such objects—assuring him " he is not battling with him"—adopting the tone of Minister Plenipotentiary for the Irish people—and holding out the folds of his robe ambassadorial with, the option of peace or war, All , this is ili,SomeWhat amusing contrast with the .nominal' , popition- of the parties ;- as well as with the great Agi tator's 'pathos about dungeons and scaffolds the other riight-:—upon other boards ; and, as we said, we fancy continental Europe will hardly know what to make of it. Do we object to the free and easy issue of legal con victions, thus singularly illustrated ? No more than we object to the bloodless issue of .threatening arma ments. Everything, we trust, tends to mitigation of civil discords ; and we are nowise ashamed of the peculiarity which these proceedings will exhibit in the eyes of Europe. We rejoice that in Eng land party is ever to that degree dominant that it can stifle the fullest possible utterance of the views over which it holds, for the time, the ascendant. We believe this character of fair play for both sides to be quite unique practically in the world. Not in France, with all its nonsensical boastings of social equality—not assuredly elsewhere. in Europe— not, we believe, in America, can opposite opinions on questions so nearly touching the heart of empire as this Irish one come forth with so little restraint—with so little dangerous irritation—with such unlimited length and latitude of discussion—as in much abused old England. And not, most certainly, could any such freedom belong to an Irish Parliament—left alone. In this point of view, at least, the union produces fruits which could not survive its repeal.; and Wn. are glad to be able to sub scribe to the closing sentences of the leaffig - stpetikari on both sides, and express our conviction that the spirit of the times, which has proved so favourable to full and unfettered discussion, will prove not barren of healing measures. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ADVANCED SIIIPS OF THE LINE AT SHEEENESS.—To the seventeen advanced line-of-battle ships complete at Devonport and Portsmouth, we are enabled to add the following reported complete at Sheerness : —Howe, 120; ; London, 92 ; Asia, 84 ; Achilles , 76 ; Hercules, 72 ; R us s e ll, 72.

The Ganges, 84, at Sheerness, will be com plete on the 30th March. The Trafalgar, 120, advanced ship of the line at Cha tham, is fast progressing in her fittings, and will be ready to go out of dock by the end of next month. The Dee troop transport, Master Commander Thomas Driver, arrived at Portsmouth on Wednesday, from Ireland, last from Plymouth. She has bee n brou g ht alongside the dockyard je t ty t o h a v e several defects made good. The Prince George t ranspor t, Li e ut. Ward agent, ar rived at Portsmouth from Woolwich yesterday morning, and came into harbour to embark a draft of the 20th Regiment for Bermuda, to which island she is bound with government stores ; she has also on board a party consisting of 60 men of the Royal Artillery and Royal Sappers and Miners, going out to join their respective corps, stationed on that island. The Scourge, first-class steamer, about to be built at Portsmouth yard, is ordered to be ready for going into the water by the Ist of September next. The Centaur, first-class steamer, will be laid down as soon as the Scourge leaves the dock in which she is to be built; in the meantime her keel and other timbers of her frame will be all prepared; she will consequently be ready very early in the spring. The Centaur is to be similar to the Scourge, excepting she will be longer ; she is to be 200 feet between the uprights.

MANIFOLDING.--A few days ago, a person in Hull, carrying on an extensive business, bit upon the follow ing plan for raising the wind. He held a bank note for 501., which he cut in two, and taking one of the portions to an ac quaintance, inforined him that he had just received it by post, the other portion being to follow in the course of a day or two, but as he wanted the 'matey immediately, he could not wait for its arrival. This friend in need, on receiving the half-note, advanced the and another friend did the same on receiving the otter half. Here were a hundred pounds made out of fifty; but . the business was not yet com pleted.

THE WILLS FORGERIES.—Wo learn from a source on which we place reliance, that Mrs. Dorey, one of the parties charged with being an active agent in the exten sive conspiracy by which large sums were obtained by means of these forgeries and fraudulent personations, has made a full con:ession ; and that the document is in the hands of the authorities. We presume that the fact of such confession having been made was the cause of Mrs. Dorey's solicitor taking no part in the last exa mination of the parties before the Lord Mayor, beyond requesting that the unfortunate woman should be allowed to remain in the Compter until the eve of the session. VIGILS.—(PROM A CORRESPONDENT).—It is given out that tFere will be " to-morrow (this) night, at the new Protestant church at Wilton-place. Will the Bishop of London be present ? TOTAL Loss Or TIIE ELDERFELDT. —lnform ation was received in town yesterday afternoon, of the total loss of the Dutch steamer Llberfeldt, at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, when about 25 miles east of the North Foreland. This vessel was built at Blackwall about three years since expressly for the Rotterdam and Manbeim trade. She was proceeding here for the purpose of being overhauled, and if necessary undergoing repair. Captain R. Stranock, of the General Steam Navigation Company's steamer Giraffe, one of the most experienced commanders m the Rotterdam trade, was requested to bring her over—and, although his charge has been so unfortunate, no blame is attached to him. He had to contend against a heavy gale and sea. When off the place above-mentioned, she was struck by a very heavy sea, and she went down almost in stantaneously. The crew, consisting of 14 men, had only time sufficient to throw their boat overboard, and only two men enabled to get into her before she went down. Provi dentially, they were enabled to rescue 9 others ; but 2 stokers and the cook were unfortunately drowned—most probably drawn down by the suction. There were no passengers on board. The survivors, after having been in the boat for about 3 hours, in the constant expectation of suffering from a calamity they had but just escaped from, were picked up by a Dutch galliot bound to Flushing, and landed at Rams gate, from whence they started by the Ilerni steamer, and arrived in London between 3 and 4 o'clock. The Columbine Mail Steam Packet, belonging to the General Steam Com pany, made the passage from Rotterdam, carrying the Dutch mail, with her usual success, and arrived at her moorings yesterday. THB "PENINSULAR IrtnoEs."--An historical picture, entitled as above, hasbeen opened to view at the esta blishment of Messrs. Graves and Co., of Pall-mall, who have purchased the copyright of the artist, for the purpose of having it engraved. The picture is painted by Mr. J. P. Knight, A.R.A., and is to form a companion to the picture of the " Heroes of Waterloo," painted by the same artist, and of which we some time back spoke in terms of praise. This picture, the " Peninsular Heroes"---is in some respects su perior to the other picture. It has less glare, a better treat ment, and more diversity. The portrait of the Duke of Wel lington occupies the centre, and near him is Sir G. Murray, who, being in a blue uniform, breaks the sameness and re dundancy of the scarlet coats. The subject of the picture re presents an appeal made to the Duke as to certain incidents in the battle of Vittoria, a plan of which is seen on a table. There are 31 portraits. Amongst them are the Dukes of Wellington and Beaufort, the veteran Lord Lynedoch, Lords Aylmer, Londonderry (an excellent likeness), Combermere, Cathcart, Tweeddale, Keane, Beresford, Sir L: Cole, Major- General W. Napier, Sir W. Anson, Sir R. Arbuthnot, &c. The picture is well adapted for engraving, and is about to be put into the hands of the artist employed on its companion. SUPPOSED INCENDIARY FIRE.--Joseph Lakin, of Sheepshead, a youth of respectable appearance, and rather a sen. sible lad, about the age of 15, was committed for trial at the Assizes on a charge of setting fire to a wheat straw stack, on the 21st inst., on the premises of Mr. W. Jac Ices (lately pur chased by Mr. Harriman), at Sheepshead. The evidence is but circumstantial at present, and the deed is denied by the lad, who says he was net out that day until breakfast time, when he ran with his bread and cheese in his hand to the bell-house, because they were doing some repairs al the bells, and he went to look on ; he found two joiners coming away from the bell-house, when he turned off, and went right by the church-yard and blacksmith's shop of Mr. Thornhill. When he got there he saw a great blaze above the houses and ran in the direction of it as hard as he could, till he came to the yard where he thought it was, and asked a labouring man at work in the barn if he knew what was the matter t He smiled, and said no. Prisoner pointed to the flames, and the man then came out and said the wheat-stack was on fire.—Leicestershirs Mercury.
