THIS IS TIE, ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution net to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETR GIECURI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty or the contracts upon which they are founded, add be independent of the liberality or eaprice of those who shall be in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims arise ; and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause ha their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The regulations comma* to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance "contracts dependent upon the perfect correct less of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Polley, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra judicial com promises, axe thus entirely abrogated; and nothing bat fraud, proved to have bees committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this Company'. -• THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the Mutual principle;- receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS TIIII ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums In the policies, 'although the debts for .which they were effected. shall have been liquidated_ before the claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that where premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid; and they undertake to do so without reference to the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THR ,ONLY COMPANY who grant in favonr of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. The Tremlums' calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual Imo' young.llYes, where participation in the profits is not required ; and for dhert assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may bacontioded for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to Complete security will permit.

The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retail to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 5!. per cent. interest.. Thus. suppose the or dinary 'premium' for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by tie half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one -half of the 101., and interest far the retained half; and, if death should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. iwould be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 5/. ; for the second, of 101. ; and so oa till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 35/., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 35/. would be suhtracted from the 4001. then payable by the Cempany.

NATIONAL' LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR. • ANCFACOCIETY, 26,, CORNIIILL, LONDON. • Capital X 500.000. Empowered by Act of Parliament. The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departMents, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or thrfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest er necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the fall benefit to his family•at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to eaeli policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus, aceording to an equitable scale; may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums Another Bonus will be declared in the present year. DEFERRED ANNI7ITTES: The best and most varied provision for after-life hitherto offered— every 21. 12s. per annum, paid from the age of twenty; will, at sixty five, give the policy-holder the choice of an annuity of 471. 16s. 6d., or 3491.

PECULIAR ADVANTAGES OF THIS INSTITUTION. Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums, by 'which means Assnrauces may be effected with the least possible present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder will become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid the whole =lowa of his premiums in advance, in the usual way. Thus, for example—a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age, Instead of paying 2/. 6s. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would be required.to pay ld. 3s. only during the first five years, when, on payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to sd. 155., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre miums to very little more than the half Premium of 11. 3s. originally paid by him. The Great Britain Is the only Mutual Assurance society in which this very great accommodation is given to the As-. sured. Credit allowed for the whole of the first five Annual Premituns, on satisfactory security being give* for the payment of the same at the expiration of five years. All the profits of the Institution divided annually among the Policy holders who shall have paid live Annual Premiums.

At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the life policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. to the shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one. half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to assure his life for .£l,OOO on the im mediate payment of the premium for ,Xsfo only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of ZlOO for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at 5 per cent ; and should the policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be dedticted. • - Age 20 without profits... £1 13 0 with profits .£l 18 0 30 40 59 4 3 4 For short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and for any ages or contingencies ; net usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. _ _ Sir,—Until the demand for factory goods shall exceed the supply, the Ten Hours' Bill is based on a principle.of sound policy as well as of humanity.' • It will divide profits among a larger number of manu facturers than would be the case with a Twelve Hours' Bill, or no 13111 at all. More - manufacturers will be benefited at a small and equitable sacrifice imposed upon each, and any check nut upon theleviathan profits'of a few, as such, will be a bo - on conferred on many. The same principle applies to labour. Ten hours' labour may be 'followed by a proportionate sacrifice in wages. But then every farthing so sacrificed will be di vided, in additional. factories, among an additional num ber of work-people, who otherwise might and would ob tain no employment at all. Nor would the sacrifice on the part of those who lose remuneration for two hours' labour be all sacrifice. It affords to each and all the boon of improved health, .more natural rest, time to attend to relative duties, and, above' all, to spiritual im provement, without which constant work and high wages are but sad preparatives to future and eternal misery. Let the Ten Hours' Bill be enacted to be in force until 'the whole factory power of Great Britain is inadequate to meet the home and foreign demand. We may ven ture to trust the Cabinet with discretionary power to suspend its operation whenever such a contingency as this shall arise. Does not the Government at this mo meut exercise .a similar discretionary power over its4Cvn workshops, our dockyards? Do not the Ministers regu late in ,dockyards the hours of labour, limiting not only the hours of the day, but the number of the days in the week when work is•slack, and do they not do this with a view, by the equitable distribution of work and wages, to keep as much as possible the staff of workmen unim paired in numbers and in practice? Policy and hu manity dictate this course, and, as it is found to work well in our national establishments, why should it not, especially when trade is limited, work with equal ad-. vantage in our ,cotton and other factories?

This was an action to recover compensation in damages from the defendant, for criminal conversation had with the plaintiff's wife. Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Miller were counsel for the plaintiff. Mr.' Whitehurst conducted the deferiee. The plaintiff is a publican, living at Bedworth ; the defen dant is a ribbon manufacturer. The - evidence of One Sarah Bird, aged 17, who was for- Merly in the plaintiff's service, and by which the case was sought to be made out, was, that while she was in service with the plaintiff's family defendant was on familiar visiting terms, and that she had on many occasions been sent. out on trifling errands when the husband was out and the defendant there, or to bed when the plaintiff had gone to bed, so that Mrs. Hunt and 'Hicklin would be left alone. On Sunday, the lath . of July last, her master and mistress had dined, when Mrs. Hunt went.. up stairs to dress for church, while her husband went to, lie - down .; saving_ he was to be called at three, as he wished to go to l'okshill, a distance of.a few miles from Bedworth. Mrs: Unlit vent to church,And the plaintiff went 'out at half-past three,,on Soot, for Foleshill. The mother of the girl, Bird, was in the house at the time, and remained there until Mrs. Huut came from church. After tea Hicklin came in and asked for Hunt, and was told he had gone to FoleshilL •,•: He called for a glass of ale and the •newspaper. > Witness's mother put on her bonnet to go a little • way into the town, when her mistress sent her away, saving she might go with her mother, • Mrs. Hunt showing them out the back way, and 'going a little way with them, and then - returning, nobody being left in the house -but her and the defendant. The witness quitted her mother, going to the house of an acquaintance, but was fetched away by her mother to her mistress's, where she found things in confusion, her master and mistress there, and a constable named Smith. Mrs. Hunt was crying, and there lay on the parlour floor a piece of board, broken out of the partition which divided the kitchen and parlour. Mrs. Hunt soon after went away to Foleshill, to a house kept by the father of the witness, and went to lay down on the bed. The defendant came in in half an hour, and went up stairs to her. On seeing her he said, "Why the devil do you lie there, Mawnsey ?" and pulled her up by the hand. She was crying, and he put his arm round her neck and wiped her eyes, and said ." Never mindrworse jobs than this happened, and we shall get over it." In cross-examination she said she tad been sent to bed sometimes when other persons be'skies llicklin were there. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt seemed tb live happy together. Never heard him beat her. They differed about once a week, a few words or so. Another witness who was called, upon being questioned whether the plaintiff had not seen his wife si n c e thi s occur rence frequently, gave several very evasive replies. , Joseph Kelly, of Bedwotthira grocer, deposed to a conver sation he had with the defendant, in _which he confessed to the witness that an imprer intimacy, had ex i s t e d b etween hiM (Hicklin) an d Mrs. Hunt. Mr. Whitehurst said it was evident no conjugal happiness had been destroyed, and as 'to a claim for the loss of the valuable society of such a wife, what would it amount to? The Jury thought and gave it. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, March 30. ' CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) lIARBERT V. • EDGINTON. The trial of this cause, which had been partly heard yes terday, was resumed this morning at nine o'clock. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. W. J. Alexander appeared - as counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Godson and Mr. F. V. Lee for the defendant. This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage, to which the defendant pleaded, in the first place, that he never did promise to marry the plaintiff; and secondly, that she was not of sober or temperate habits, but was accustomed to get drunk with wine and spirituous liquors. The unusual nature of the defence in this case invested it with a good deal of interest. The parties, on the record were neither of them in the heyday of youth, both of them having turned the goal of 40, that sober, unsentimental, practical stage in the race of life, when the agreeable begins to be re garded as of secondary importance to the useful. The plain tiff, Miss Elizabeth Harbert, is the daughter of a respectable farmer, who' formerly resided at Oddinton, but who died so long ago as 1823, leaving a widow with eight daughters and one son, all of whom were respectably brought up by their mother. About fourteen years ago the plaintiff went to live with her two bachelor uncles, who were farmers at Broadwell, as housekeeper, and • continued with them until . May last, when her uncles gave up the: Broadwell farm, and went to live with the plaintiff's mother at Oddinton. The defendant, Mr. Edginton, was.. a tenant- of Lord Leigh, occupying a farm of . some 300 or 400 acres, in • the same neighbourhood. In April last year he took a farm called Frogmore, which brought him - nearer to Broadwell, and on the 2d of that month he asked one of the plaintiff's uncles whether he was willing to part with his housekeeper, as he intended to make her his wife, if the family and the lady had no objection to the match. After this he was received as the intended husband of the plaintiff, and visited the house two or three times a-week till Thursday, the Bth ofJune, when he fixed the day of marriage for that day week, and prepara tions were made for the ceremony. On the - Sunday follow ing he brought with him a number of wedding rings ' but— ominous mischance! --not one of them happen e d t o fit the finger of his bride elect. From that day the course of the lady's affections ran any thing but smooth. On the next Tuesday the defendant had cooled wonderfully : his blood, which had previously been up to " marriage heat," was down at" temperate ;" and he requested that the marriage might be put off till the beginning of the next week, as he was not very well. He did not appear to be unwell, but as a man, generally speaking, neither takes a wife nor eats blackberries on compulsion, Mr. Edginton had his own way, and took his leave. Nothing more was heard of him till the 24th of June, when the plaintiff received a letter from him to the fol lowing effect " Dear* Madam,—l doubt not but that you consider it strange that I have not been to Oddinton lately. I trust the inclosed copy of a letter will be sufficient to convince you that I am in a very unsettled state of mind. Perhaps you will be able to understand it, and know from whence it came. " I am, Madam, yours respectfully, " W. EDGINTON." The inclosed letter, which was dated the 19th of June, and was directed to " Mr. W. Edginton, Frogmore Farm, More-. ton in-the-Marsh, Gloucestershire," was as follows : " Sir,—As a friend and well-wisher, I have taken the liberty of writing to you on a most delicate and important subject. I have been informed that you are going to enter. into wedlock with a lady resident at Broadwell. I feel sorry to injiare the character of a female of respectable family, but I feel :Myself in duty bound, as an old friend, to apprise yOu that there is strong reason to believe she is addicted to a practice disgraceful to a tvoman, and that Would be ruinous to herthusband.. I shall say nothing more, but believe me to be yolk well7wisher. "ANONYMOUS." Aftgr receiving this letter. from the defendant, Miss Har bert, accompanied by her sister, went over to Mr. Edgmton, when he said that he did not believe the anonymous letter, but thought it desirable that the marriage should be put off for a few days. He told her " not to fret about it," and said he was willing to carryon the correspondence as if nothing had occurred,. but • nothing more was heard from him about. the marriage, and upon being pressed upon the : suhject, he said, ," I suppose you must action me." Upon another occa sien he said; " If she wants 200 j, or 3001., I suppose she must have it." ' It appeared that th>defendant had communicated to several persons, as a .fac', that the plaintiff was of intem perate habits, and on 21st of Sept. the. match , was posi tively broken off on ) 2,71s part. To rebut the. gfiiarge contained in the defendant's plea, a very great Imlnber of witnesses were examined consisting not only ofer relatives, but se vera l servants who . had lividwith 'uncle-4 during her resid ence with them, some neigh bour%no: and her medical attendant . The general e ff ect o f th:eir evidence was, that she was extremely temperate, but it seemed that she was subject to bilious attacks, which occa sionally caused sickness; to severe . toothe-ache, for which she smoked tobacco from a pipe ; and to an affection of the throat, for which she was directed to take frequent draughts of tincture of ic;dine . in' a wine-glass of cold water, which . looked very like sherry and water. On the other hand, se veral servants, who had alsa lived with her uncles during her residence there, deposed that she was frequently sick from intoxication ; that she drank two or 'three glasses of brandy a day, which she directed them to procure, but not to let her uncles see anything of it ; that she was in the habit of smoking cigars, and that she kept a bottle of spirits in her bed-room. That part of the story which related to the brandy derived some confirmation from the landlord of the King's Arms at Stow, who supplied the family at Broadwell with a good deal of brandy from 1837 to 1842, although the favourite beverage of the plaintiff's uncles was gin. Mr. Baron PARKE, in summing up, told the jury thatthey would have no difficulty in finding a verdict for the plaintiff upon the first iasue,. There could be no doubt that the de fendant had promised to marry her, but the main question in the cause was, whether the second plea of the defendant had been made out te....t.tieir satisfaction. If they thought it proved that the pls.intiff had been guilty of the intemperate habits ascribed ` ; :o her by the def en d an t' s w i tnesses, and that the defendtra had broken off the match, not upon the autho rity of . - an anonymous letter, but 'upon obtaining su ffi c i en t evidence of the fact of the plaintiff's intemperance, the ver dict upon the second issue must be found for him: If, how ever, they were of opinion that the second point in that plea was not made out, still, if they considered. that the former part of the plea -Was proved, that circumstance ought to in fluence them in considering the damages which ought to be given ; because, a woman who could so far forget herself was not entitled to ask for heavy damages. • The jury consulted for some time, and then found a vet diet for the plaintiff—c Damages , 2001.

An Athenian paper of the 21st of February pub lishes the following protocol as having been signed at London, on the 17th of November last, by Lord Aberdeen, Count St. Aulaire, and Count Brunnow : " The Minister for Foreign Affairs of her Britannic Majesty opened the sitting, directing the attention of the plenipotentiaries -of France and Russia to the mission with which the King of Bavaria had en trusted Prince Wallerstein. The plenipotentiaries, with every respect for the natural feelings of the King of Bavaria, and for the sacrifices made by that Monarch during the Greek war of independence, as well as for the immediate interest which he took in the conclusion of the treaty of 1832, by which the new kingdom was constituted, consider it their duty to attach great weight to the oral communications made to them by Prince Wallerstein on two points, one of a legislative, and one of a political character. With respect to the former, Prince Wallerstein has received instructions from his Sovereign, in conse quence of a wish expressed to his Majesty the King of Bavaria by his Majesty the King of Greece, to call on the Three Powers to assist with their advice the labours of a national assembly, summoned by King. Otho, with a view to the establishment of a definite Constitution for Greece. With respect to the second point, Prince Wallerstein has put forward all the political interests connected with the consolidation of the Government established in Greece by the Three Powers, parties to the conference. " As to the legislative labours, the plenipotentiaries have come to the conclusion that no ground exists for a discussion on this subject, the Three Powers have already given to their representatives at Athens such instructions as are necessary for their guidance. The plenipotentiaries have deemed it right on this point to refer to the commands of their respective courts, with which Prince Wallerstein has been made acquainted. a Respecting the political question, the plenipoten tiaries hastened to declare unanimously that the most perfect agreement exists among their respective courts for the consolidation of the Government established in Greece by the treaty of the 7th of Mai, 1832, and by the additional articles t o th e sa me , o the 20th of April, 1833. Considering how important it is, that the work of peace established by those treaties should be consolidated, as an important guarantee for the tranquillity of the East, the Three Powers have on this occasion again expressed their unanimous wish to see Greece secure herself against all the evils of anarchy, and to maintain the respect due to the Monarchy, us well as the personal inviolability of the Monarch called upon to reign over Greece. " While they declare the unanimity of the Three Powers upon this point, the plenipotentiaries have at the same time announced their entire concurrence on two other interests which the Three Powers have deemed it their especial duty to watch over : " First. that Greece should remain strictly con fined within the limits drawn between the new State and Turkey, in 'order that the inducement to internal troubles in the. Ottoman provinces, bordering on the Greek territory, may be guarded against. ',-e-2i--a7" 7 J - ~~~ r " Secondly, that Greece Amid not neglect the kl filment of the financial obligations which she has as sumed towards the Three Powers, in virtue of the treaties of the 7th of May, 1832, and of the 14th of September, 1843. '.rho honour of the Greek nation demands the punctual fulfilment of the obligations en tered into with the Three Powers, and of the duties assumed - by - Greece on her admission into the list of independent States. The ,Three Powers are satisfied that this duty will be fulfilled in a manner to pre vent every attack on the maintenance of peace and order. The plenipotentiaries have determined to in troduce this declaration into . the present protocol, which Lord Aberdeen is commissioned to communi cate to the Bavarian Court, in reply to the overtures of Prince Wallerstein." GERIVIAN RAILROADS. The German Railroads open to the public At the commencement of the present year comprised a length of 255 German or about 1,147 English miles. The railroads themselves are 23 in number, of which four are as yet wholly situated within the Austrian, ten within . the Prussian, and two within the Bavarian territory. During the year 1843, the individuals who travelled by these railroads. amounted in number to 8,088,067, a number equal to one•fifth of the entire population of Germany. • The quantity of merehandisg.transported in 1843 is calculated at 12,000,000 cwt. The gross receipts for travellers and goods during the same time were . 921,9461. (11,063,353 florins), and .the net receipts, on an average are said to pay four per cent to the sharehold ers . The following table will show the number of persons travelling on each railroad during the month of December, and during the whole of the year 1843-: • In Doc. 1845. In all ISO.

It connects the interior of Bohemia with the Danube, and, being carried across the mountains, is seldom used during the winter months, when the mountains are covered with snow. This accounts for there having been no passengers during December. The trains are drawn by horses, the railroad is of a very inferior construction, is in a very neglected state, and will full into comparative disuse when the railroad from Vienna to Prague, now in construction, has been completed. The works on a new Hanoverian railroad-from Harbur,,,o. to Luneburg-comthenced on the 19th inst., on which day the first stroke of the spade was struck by the Government Counsellor Von Hoppenstedt, and the event celebrated with great festivity.

SENTENCE ON MR O'CONNELL. • DUBLIN, ISIARot 28.—Some of the most distingtushec counsel in England, as well as in this country, have declared it as their opinion that a writ of error must, beyond all poi sibility of doubt, lead to the quashing of the verdict agaiast . Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers in the State trials But a writ of error does not lie until after sentence ; and the question, arises are the traversers to undergo the sentence, and suffer the period of imprisonment which the Court may think fit to award, whilst the arguments upon the writ of error are in progress in the House of Lords P In cases of capital felony, the prisoner being sentenced in death or transportation, he remains, of course, to prison whilst a writ of error is pending ; but in a misdemeanour, where the law limits the punish ment to fine and imprisonment, the case is totally different. The Attorney-General, as a matter of course, will allow the writ of error to issue in the case of the " Queen v. O'Connell and others." That writ will be prose suted through all its tedious forms; but there could be no reasonable hope that the judgment of the House of Lords could be obtained before the expiration of the sentence. Suppose that judgment in favour of the traversers—and I understand that the plea of abatement alone must secure such a result—the quashing of the verdict would probably occur after Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers had been illegally incarce rated. This appears so monstrous, that it is difficult to imagine the Crown could permit imprisonment - pending the argument of the legality of the trial and the verdict. THE. PRESBYTERIAN MOVEMENT. The Presbyterians are agitating in earnest, and with a hearty good will. Meetings to petition for equality of rights with the Established Church on the marriage qttestion, were held last week, in Drotnore, Ballymoney, Newtownhamilton, Killileagh, Dungannon, Lurgan;Bangor, Ballymena, Rath friland, Cookstown, Larne, Donaghadee, and Coleraine. Lisburn, and various other places, awl even Armagh, the citadel of Primate Beresfurd, are joining in tkis formidabli movement. RIGHT OF SOLICITORS TO ADDRESS JURIES.....
