L ONDON, EDINBURGH, and DUBLIN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 3, Charlotte-row, Massion-heuee, and IS, Chancery-lane, London. BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one-half of the first seven years' premium •is required, the other half being payable at at the convenience of the assured; thus allowing a Policy to be continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured, seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him from effecting a nen Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium applicable to an age seven years younger. The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company,. thus enables persons to retain to their own us. the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 500!. to be 10!., the flint pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if death should occur' in the first year, the sum of 500!. would be paid less the U. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 51.; for the second, of 101.; and so on till the end of the seventh Year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351.; inay either be repaid; or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 500!. then payab.

ATTEMPT. at MURDER by a BRO THER of LORD AUDLEY. On Saturday a young man of gentlemanly appearance, who said his - name was 'Wm. Ross Touchet, was brought before Mr. Twyford, at - Bow-street, charged with firing a loaded- pistol' at Thomas. Smith, •guts-maker, and pro prietor of a shooting-gallery, 288, High Holborn, with intent to murder him. The prisoner seemed perfectly composed, and not by any means conscious of having committed un offence of such a serious nature. ' Alfred Smith; being sworn, said—l am son of Thomas Smith, gunsmith; and keeper of a shooting gallery, 288; Holborn. About" half -past twelve o'clock the prisoner entered the gallery, and said he wished to know if he could have a shot or two with pistols ? The ques tion was then put to my father, who replied, " Cer tainly," and having loaded a brace of pistols he put them into the prisoner's hands for the purpose of shooting at the target At the second shot he said the trigger pulled rather hard, and my father told him he might set the hair-trigger if he liked, but he replied he did not want them to gO exactly so easy, and he would shoot with them as they were. On the third shot the prisoner deliberately turned round while my father was loading the other pistol, and shot him in the back without tit-. tering a word, but he smiled after he had committed the , deed. My father immediately cried out, " Good God I'm shot through the back," and upon my asking the prisoner what induced him to commit such an act, he, made no reply. I was close by all the time, and after assisting my father up stairs with.some difficulty, on my! return the prisoner said he committed the deed as he was: tired of his life and wanted to be hanged, but , he ad-' witted . that he' 'had no Animosity' against my father. I ; recoliCet that axiut three months back the prisoner camei to the, gallery andlad some shots, but nothing particular! occurred on that occasion. ' • _ . _ In answer to . the Magistrate, the prisoner said he had no explanation .to give, except that he- -had no ill-will against the man, and ,he: committed the act for the pur pose of being hanged. Mr, 2 T*YFOBD—Is there anything particular that makes .you unhappy ? Prisoner—Nothing whatever. . Mr: TWYFORD—Are you married .

Mr. , Twvronn—You- are aware you have committed a dreadful act t• . Prisoner—Yes, 'tis a dreadful thing. Mr: TWYFOR:I)—I shall direct yOu to be taken care of for some days. Prisoner—Very well. ll Mr. Smith's son informed the Court, after the pri soner was remcived from the bar, that his father re-1 ceived the contents of the pistol in the small of, the back.' and that he waa directly removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Mr. Twvfonn directed the constable•to proceed to the Hospital, and bring hiin some account of the - wounded man before.the closing of the Court. After the prisoner Was removed from the bar, he was, immediately removed in the van to Clerkenwell Prison. In the course of the day Lord Audley came to the Court, evidently much attected at the account he had received of the prisoner's conduct, and had a long con versation with Mr. Twyford. • He said he did hot con sider his brother . (the prisoner) was deranged. His Lordship afterwards had an interview with the prisoner in a room at the rear of the office. • The policeman who was sent to make jnquiries at the Hospital as to the state of the sufferer, brought back the following certificate;.._ « that I have this day examined Thomas Smith, -an. inmate of this Hospital, with a pistol.shot wound in his loins, and I cannot pronounce him out of danger. GEORGE ROYDE, House-Surgeon. " St. Bartholomew's Hospital, July 6, 1844." From inquiriei instituted yesterday, we have ascer tained the follewing particulars in reference to the me lancholy affair.. It appears that Mr. William Ross Tucheti has occupied. apartments at No; 26, Weymouth-street, Portland -place, durin g the . last eighteen months.'. He lived a very retired life, generally leaving, home after, breakfast, and returning late in the evening. ..About. eight weeks since "Lord Audley cenie over from Ireland! on a temporary visit, and took up his residence with his, brother in Wexinouth=Street.: Nothing occurred to:lead his Lordship An believe that his brother's mind was affected until within th e l ast few d aYl , his manner,' which %.lits..inViiriabli reser v e d , b eca nie. Much more so,; to such an-extent,. indeed, that it was •exceedingly diffi-1 cult to Oblitin. answer to 'any qu estion addressed tot On.Ordidary subjects he oecasionally conversed in his usual manner, manifesting 'Considerable - strength of f mind, This ;:appears to have'thrown'his friends off their , guard, and Lord Audley states that he himself thought! th e , peculiaritrof his br o th er ' s manner a rose . from eir-1 cumstances gonnected with hi s affairs. On Saturday morning Mr..Tuchetreceived a letter which added to the gloom under which he previously appeared to labour, and for 11.PPAsiOcKable period he became qUite abstracted. At eleven o'clock he left home for the . avowed purpose of taking a walk, having rallied a little at that time, an d, upon going out, he asked Lord Audley it,he could execute any commission fOr him ? dlis , Lordship replied in the negative, and the tinhapPy gen tleman left home alone. At four o'clock a policeman arrived in Weymouth-street to inform Lord Audley of the melancholy event which had occurred, and to request his attendance at Bow.strect. His Lordship, who was -of course deeply affected at the circumstance, set off in stantly, but did not reach" the office in time to see his brother: He,.heWever,' had; as above stated, an inter , view with Mr. Tw.yford, and then roceecied - to ' well Prison for the purpoio of visaing his unfortunate .brother. Upon being introdUced to, his brother, Lord 'Audley inquired what brought 'him to that place, to which-51r. Tuchet, who appeared.' quite unmoved at his pos ition, replied, "I am sure Ido not know." It will obierved that this observation is' altogether at vari ance with the answers made to the questions put by the magistrate during thevxamination at. an earlier period of the afterhoon. Lady Audley, the mother of thb un fortiinate young man, is' at present reslding with her daughters' at Sandgate, whither information was iminadi ately forwarded, and the Hon.. Miss Trichet arrived in town last evening. It is said that letters written by the young man evince decided proofs of aberration of mind ; but the members of his family had hoped it WAS but a tem porary affliction which had long since passed awa y. Mr. Smith, the object of Mr. Tuchet's attack, is happily going on well, and great : hopes. are entertained of . a favourable termination of his case.'

THREE OF THE NAPIERS. . . • We have, received a copy'of the .'ape Town containing an account of a dinner given in the Commer cial Hall, Cape Town, to Sir George Napier, Governor- General of the colony, by a number of his friends, on *the eve of his departure for England, after holding that appointment 'for six years. The Hon. Justice Menzies presided, and the Hon: Messrs. Porter and Montagu occupied the vice-chairs. The part of the proceedings which we subjoin will be read with interest-: The CHAIAMAN said—Gentlemen, if you will read the second edition Of 'Gurwood's " Dispatches " (which I strenuously recommend: to the. perusal of•those who have net yet read them), you will find a most remarkable cumstance there mentioned, namely, that, in addition to previous letters to - her, communicating similar misfor tunes, the Duke of Wellington, on no less than 'three oc casions, within the short period of sixteen months, wrote to a _noble lady, informing her of her sons having been wounded in battle. One of tiaese sons was wounded in every one - of three engagements . ; and, on each of two of these occasions, he had A' brother sharing. with him the same calamity. I' shall not trouble you with reading the whole-of those letters, but there is one extract which I must read :--;-- " Your' sons • are brave' fellows - , and an honour to, the artily. Having such sons, I am 'aware you expect to hear of those misfortunes which I have so often, bad to communicate to you ; and, notwithstanding your affee; tion for them, you have so just a notion' Of the value of the distinction • they are daily acquiring for themselves; by their gallantry and good conduct, that these misfori tunes do not, inakilso deep an impression on you." . „ 'Thanoble lady wiThe mother of Sir George Nipiert —(Loud Cheero 'He was the officer who within' these sixteen months, was four times wounded. His brother Charles was wounded along with hied,. on the first, and his brother William, .on the second of these occasionsi Happy sons,! Who. had such a mother, to train them up in the path of glory, and to do their duty to their country. Happy, happy mother! who had such sons, to profit by her instructions, and to be proud of. And thrice - happy country! which possessed, among its sons and daughters; suck a' mother.—(Loud cheers.) The eldest of the sons is Sir Charles. Ido not knew where he first comi menced his career of glory, but I shall begin at Corunna, where he fell, actually covered with.wounds, at, the head of the 50th RegiMent, after having displayed such despe- , rate valour, that his conduct, on that occasion, excited the highest admiration, and gained him the esteem, and lasting friendship of two of the bravest soldiers, and greatest generals, in the French army—MarshalsSoult and Ney.• Having recovered from those wounds, he went on, from field to field, gaining honour, and reputation,, and shedding his blood; until the British army reached. the Pyrenees.—(Cheers.) His country then called fort his services elsewhere, and, but that the overwhelming; victory at Waterloo, the intelligence of which reached, England at the same time, swallowed up everything else,: the victory which Col. Charles Napier achieved in North! America, would not have passed-unnoticed by his country- i men. I need say no more of the early career of this gal lant officer. After going through almost incredible dan-• gers, and, receiving : wounds, after which it is wenderful that life could be preserved, he has, in his old age, at a period of life When others, who have not. been exposed tol l the fatigues and wounds to whiCh he has been, gene- j rally seek for repose from active service, gone to a • dis .tant country and dangerous climate, and there he has, the two great actions he has fought, shown all the gallan-, try, daring,and dash of youth; combined with the highest; military science, as a General, and talents as a states-, man, and achieired for himself the well-earned title of the Hero of Sinde.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) The other, and yeungest brother, the Gallant General Wil liam Napier, -fought ,through the whole of the Peninsu lar war. -Few were the actions which occurred in which ,he was not concerned, and in many, he was wounded. And his wounds were so severe, as to have deprived' his country , of the use of his arm. But, al -though thus - disabled in body, he his not been idle in the service of his country ; he called forth, and applied, the great talents and resources of his mind ; and he has produced a " History of the Peninsular War," which must always form part of the library of, every officer who is desirous of studying his profession, and which must be read by every civilian, who wants to know what a battle is. —(Cheers.) I rose, gentlemen, intending to propose the health of Sir Charles and Wil liam Napier ; but, gentlemen, although we have already drunk the health of our illustrious guest, don't you think! it would be hard to separate the three brothers ?—(Loud cheers.) I see you agree with me.. Let us, therefore, drink' to the health of the Three Gallant Brothers, whose names were constantly associated together in . the Penin sular army—" Charles, George, and William Napier." —(Cheers.) Sir GEoitor NAPIER said—Gentlemen, I really hardly . know what to say ; but my Honourable Friend has paid so many compliments to my family, that it is abso- , lutely ificumberit'en . me ,to say something in return.; You have done . me the honour to drink my health I again, — together with my brothers'. I shall say I nothing more, however, of myself ; but though it.l may appear vain in me, I will be vain enough to say a few words about: my brothers. Gentlemen — we were reared together—we have fought and bled together—we have slept in the same cloak, and until now,' we have never been separated. One of them, as you are aware, was in command at Meanee and Hyderabad, where 'I know from' others how he had dis tinguished himself ; for he is far too modest to speak of his own merits. Gentlemen, if ever there was a man in the world, who had the feelings of a'soldier, my brother Charles is that man. His sole object in life has beep the army. He entered it at fourteen years of age;, he is now sixty-two, and during all that, time, he has 'never been six months on half-pay.—He has been in every campaign, and in most of the great actions that have been fought in the Peninsular war,—what ho nour and what gallantry he has shown in action, it is not for me to say; it is known by all, even from the youngest drummer in the army to the Duke of Wellington, at its head. He has lived now to go to India, after fighting for his country, in every part of her Majesty's dominions; and these he has achieved those two splendid actions, of which , we have lately had accounts.--(Hear, hear.) When I saw those accounts,' gentlemen,lTlieve me when I say I gloried more in my brother's victories than I could have , done if they had been my own. Gentlemen, I have lived with that brother since my infancy, and we were never separated till now. —(Cheers.) The Chair man has kindly mentioned an anecdote relative to a mother, than whom there never was a better. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, and my great great-grandfather, were all soldiers ; and my mother, above all things, wished us to pursue their steps. After sixty, she became quite blind, and could not distinguish her sons by sight, yet nothing could daunt her spirit, and she continued to encourage us in the path of honour. Wheii I came hothe after the affair of Cuidad Rodrigo, she said to me—" I would rather have my son with that ,eximity . sleeee, , than anything else in the world." Gentle men, my brother William, the historian of the Peninsular 'War, is as brave, and kind, and- high-minded a man as ever lived - ; and •I believe that every man whO reads - that history will acknowledge that he has done justice not 'only to his brethren in arms, but to a gallant enemy. He has gathered the 'materials forthat history from two great sources; and, although some of the statements in the third volume have been cavilled at, and supposed not to be correct, yet, Gentlemen, the two great. sources from whence he obtained his information, were' far beyond suspicion—they were the Duke of Wellington and Mar shal Soult. I mention this circumstance, because it il lustrates a 'curious fact, connected with that history. What first gave rise to my brother's intention to under take that work, was the publication of a book, containing some strong reflections against the character of a man upon whom I look back with the same feelings that I en tertain towards my own father. Entertaining feelings Similar to mine, my brother reviewed' that book ; 'and, in doing so, brought forward the beautiful character of the man who bred us all, and took care of him when he was wounded—Of the, man who, after having nobly served his country, was raised, at thtPage Of forty-eight, to be Com mander-in-Chief of orie of ' the bravest armies that ever left the British shore, with which he traversed the Penin sula, from the heart of Spain to Corunna—General Sir Joha MOore.—(Loud . cheering.) . That man. owed his advancement to nothing but the sword he wore. He was, as you are aware, the son of Doctor Moore, the author of " Zelueo." The Doctor gave him a , good education and left iiim ,to his oven efforts, and with his sword alone, John Moore placed himself at the head of the British army—no easy thing at that time. Of the military cha racter of Sir John Moore, it is sufficient to quote the words of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, when an ef fort was made to create a party feeling against Sir John. The Duke spurned it, as he would everything that is mean, and said, " Sir John Moore never committed a fault, and I appreciate him as he was—the best of British , soldiers." ' To the example and encouragement of Sir John Moore I owe more than I can express. I was his aide-de-camp—l was by his side at Coruuna—l saw him killed—l havegot the sash in which he fell ; it is at pre sent in the possession of Sir Henry Hardinge, but I hold it most dear, as a' relict that shall be bequeathed to my children after me. Sir J. Moore's army underwent great sufferings, but it did. wonders ; and, wherever my brother William's history goes, I trust it will clear the character of that great and good man, so worthy of all honour. I mention these things, gentlemen, in order to show you the manner in which wo were brought up. Gentlemen, under Sir John Moore, we were taught to support the character of our own army, but to. entertain no antipathy to the brave enemy who fights us fairly and honourably. As a noble instance of this feeling, I would ask, is there any thing in history equal to the reception which Marshal Soult, when in England, received from the Duke of Wel lington? I know Soult from two causes. After the battle of Corunna, my brother Charles was reported to be killed. I returned to the field. I turned over many bodies ; I searched every hospital, but I could not find him. At length, I heard that he was wounded, and taken prisoner. lie was shot through the body—he was shot - through the leg—he was cut by a. sabre, almost from ear to ear- - -and one of the enemy was just about , to' drive his bayonet 'through him, when a French drummer interposed; and saved his life. When Mar shal .Soult learned the circumstance, he ordered the drummer to :be rewarded on _the , spot; and wrote . to Napoleon, stating the circumstance,- who,,to -his credit be it spoken, ordered that drummer to receive the Cross of the Legion of Honour.—(Cheeri.) The sequel was remarkable: Years after that, my brother William had.to defend the bridge at -the Coa, with the 43d. The French came ddwn irnpetueusly, and the fight was I furious. I have seen the bridge, gentleman;, and it is hardly , wider than this table. Again and again the assault was renewed • - and you may judge `.1:4 - the fierceness,of the conflict, .when I state, .that out of the hundred, m e n of which my brother rilliam's com pany cOnsisted, lie lost sixty. A fresh column of the enemy . came down—a drummer, as was common at the time, at their head shouting " .1 7 tia pereur They were driven back, and the drummer, fell among the dead. After the action, we went up to the spot where the drummer lay ; he wore the, cross of the Legion of Honour ;—that drunamerproved to be the mail who saved . my ; brother's life.-- 7 -(Cries of " Hear,bear.") Gentlernen these are anecdotes of _the war, which show you-what the . feelings of soldiers are: You will never find the brave soldier cruel to his enemy, orqizarielsoree with his 'friends. And, as I ain story-telling, there is another anecdote connected - with. the . -Peninsular -war; which, in reference , to this principle, I may.also mention. When Marshal Soult quitted Corunna, the gallant Ney was left iri command. He sent:for'inybrother, who was, - still a prisoner, and placed 'him in cemfortable quarters.. He also appointed an aide-de-camp.to attend uponbim, a Frenchman, who spoke English welL In the mean. tithe, the news had got honie that my brother.was killed, and the' family went into mourning: - Itly poor mother, l however, said she never would believe' it' ; and she ga ; VV the War Department no rest, until LorcUMulgrave; who was at the head of it, sent a sloop of, war to Corunna,i commissioned to ascertain the fact. One Morning, the ; aide-de-camp came running in to my - brcither, and said; an English vessel had, arrived in the_ harbour. It Was: not known for what purpose she had come, but the kind hearted fellow went to Ney,,and begged that my brother might be allowed to go home in her. Ney answered,: " No; I 'cannot let hirago ; Major Napier must remain:" The aide de 7 cainp : returned, and informed my brother: of the ill success of. his attempt. " Well," said my brother, 'of coarse I must submit'; my mother will, at- -least hear that I am: alive." Again the aide-de camp' went to Marshal Ney, and again he was refused but still he persevered in pleading for my brother's release.—(LOud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.)—. At last he said, " Ali! Marshal, Major Napier has a mother, and if he does not return, his mother will die!" The Marshal paused a moment, and,: turning to him, said —" Go, tell Major- Napier he is free, on- one condition :, —that if the Emperor refuses to satiation this release, he will me again on his parole." To this, of course, my brother gladly 'consented ;. and, on waitingxm• the Marshal, he was asked if there were any of his people whom lie would wish to take with him ? My brother said, there were some forty or fifty women, who had been left behind. These Ney ordered to be immediately released, and, turning to his aid-de-camp, added ; "See that every soldier and every, woman gets two Spani s h d o ll ars a- , piece to take then' home."—(Loud cheers.) I was about to mention some particulars with regard to my brother as' an historian. When I was in Paris, Marshal Soult gave' me a dinner—not on my, account, but as the brother of the historian—at which a number of Spanish, Portuguese, and other foreigners of distinction, were present. Mar shal Soult then addressed himself to me on the subject of the work; andsaict--Ahat, when my brother first wrote to him, requesting information from sources which he had at his, command, he was by no means disposed to accede to the request, and wrote a cold letter in reply, stating that he had ajournal of his own, but that he did not see how the conduct of the French could be impartially re presented by a foreigner. Your brother," said "Soult, " wrote in answer, that his Object in asking for Ihe in formation, was for the purpose of writing an impartial his tory, arid that, therefore, if there were any inaccuracies, I must not attribute them to him, but to the want of suffi cient information., I took no further notice of the matter; a but after a time, letter came to me from your brother, stating, that in his researches, among other documents, he had found a lot of letters belonging to Joseph, King of Spain, accusing me of wanting to throw off my allegiance to France. He said he had read them over, and found that they contained grave accusations against me ; but, before he published them, he sent them over for my pe rusal, in order that he. might publish, at the ,same time, any defence that I might wish to make. When I read this, I said--,this must be a gallant soldier and a good man. And I immediately sent him a quantity of papers, and my own journal, and told him that I committed the whole to him, because I knew they would be ased by him as an honourable man and a brother soldier." On this noble conduct, on the part of Marshal Soult, I need make no remark. Our great Captain showed the feelings he entertained towards him on his recent visit to England. Soult travelled on the railroads and visited various parts of the country, and 'my brother told me he never saw a man who appeared so gratified with his visit as Soult appeared to be; and the French Captain ltooy, who has just left this port, told me that Soult declared that no • thing -could ever obliterate, till the day of his death, the extraordinary kindness that had been shown him by the Duke of Wellington, the British army, and the British nation.—(Cheers.)- 2 Belfast Northern 'Mg. VISITS of FOREIGN SOVEREIGNS. (From the Naval and Military 'Gazette.) The occasional visits of Foreign Sovereigns to this country we consider, apart from the mere indulgence of curiosity, events .of the highest importance, not only with regard to . England, but to Europe generally. In the first instance, they serve to abate or do away with prejudice on both sides ; and we look on their frequent recurrence as one of the principal causes why the ge neral dislike of foreigners, which Englishmen seemed to imbibe with their mother's milk, has now almost entirely disappeared. We recollect to what an extent this ani-. mosity against the French was carried daring our late struggle with that country ; and how much that feeling was stimulated by every . possible means, in speaking and writing ; it was carried often to such excess as to defeat its . own purpose, and. -was partaken of not alone by the ignorant and..nninformed, but by per • sons of rank and . talent ; we even know instances of officers in the service, who bore a sort'of personal hatred to the French ; among the foremost of these 'was the great - example of Lord Nelson. This sort of feeling might be in a great degree praiseworthy during a period of hostility, when we were struggling for our very existence as a nation . ; but the glorious termi nation of the war, and the vast crowds of English who flew to the Continent, very soon dispelled this dislike, amounting to horror, which had existed, against the French in general. We have stated that Lord Nelson participated in this sentiment--we believe, we may add, LordCollingwood, and one or two others ; but in the navy there were very few opportunities of seeing the better part of the rrench character ; in four cases out of five, they had no communication with the officers of the hostile nation, until they came on board their ships to deliver up: their swords, and then the generosity dis played. was all on the English side. Neither on the sea when ships come in sight, are there those pauses in hes-, tility which are so frequent on. shore and where mutual forbearanee,.nnleSs in the moment of.combat, tends,. to give a more generous. tone of Meting to those who are opposed. The immediate vicinity of the advanced posts of an army give frequent opportunities for acts of mutual civility, and even kindness, in which the FrenCh officers and their men appeared to great advantage ; in most cases where our officers were taken prisoners, they were treated like gentlemen. For these several causes, we may say, that the ancient prejudice and dislike that used to exist against the French in the abstract has entirely died away and we have only to regret that a reciprocal feeling of good-will is not equally prevalent at the other side of the Channel. 'Although the Russians were the best and most suc cessful allies . we .ever.had, their resistance end sacrifices, made in 1812, having broken the second link of the great chain that bound all Europe, yet since the peace of 1815 a growing prejudice has been fostered in this country against that people and their Sovereign. The-amount of - their military - force was vastly exaggerated—they were supposed to be bent on universal 'conquest—Con stantinople was to be the third capital—and the mere report of the march to Khiva, and their ultimate sup 'posed. view on our Indian possessions, sent many thou sands of our brave fellows to perish in the pusses of , Affghanistan.. 1 Without taking into account the circumstances under which the present Czar assumed the reins of Govern ment, the unsettled state of Poland, and the vast extent 'of frontier to be defended, he was held up as an unmiti gated tyrant, murdering and banishing the Poles, and the persecutor of the Jews, out of mere caprice ; indeed, these reproaches ran so high, that we had some slight apprehensions that the Emperor, if be visited our shores' might meet with some affront i but the supposition was an injustice to our countrymen,' which one short week was sufficient to disprove. Without waiting to scan the conduct of the Emperor towards his own subjects,• they looked on him as the g uest of their Sovereign and the nation ; they received him with, corresponding demon - strations, and were perfectly gratified by the distin guishedappearance, noble bearing, and princely munifi cence of their Imperial visitor. If we were to take alp causes'of animosity or preju , judiCe froni past times, they might be • brought to hear against the respected Monarch who is still within our . dominions. During the long and ambitious career of of Saxony was hi s most d evote d Buonaparte, the late King ally, and remained so until his own troops deserted him ,1 a t Leipsie ; bat who would think- of bringing that up as a 'natter of reproach nowadays against his suc cessor ? We simply see him as an honoured guest, and 'the only remembrance is, that he reigns over a kindred . people, from whom we have derived much of our lan guage, institutions, and even the virtues in -which we , I _most pride ourselves. Beside -the pleasure and instrue , tionforeign Princes receive on visiting our island, they will be able to ascertain by their .own eyes that, as long - as the nation is true to itself, and although not possessing j an army adequate to half the calls Qn it, Great Britain is ' pot to be conquered. .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. "SirliobeWi 3 eel admits that the Bank of England may issue notes to the amount of thirty millions—six teen millions on bullion, fourteen millions on Govern ment debts, &c. The deposits exceed thirteen millions. I repeat a question I have put in a former letter. If a panic should arise, and the depositors withdraw thirteen millions of gold, how are the thirty millions of notes to be cashed ?" --Letter signed " Common Sense," in 77re Sun of June 27, 1844. Sut,—What a very curious fancy of your corres pondent, " Common Sense," to imagine a panic with 29,000,0001. of bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England. If the proposed Bank Charter Bill should be carried into effect, that law must be infringed, if there be not 16,000,000/. of bullion in the issue de partment at all times" when there is a circulation of 30,000,0001. of notes ; so that, supposing the de positors to have bad thirteen millions of bullion pail. to them from the banking department, there must still remain 16,000,0001. of bullion in the coffers of the issue department, if 30,000,0001. of notes be then left in circulation, showing that, if the position of "Common Sense" should hereafter occur, the Bank must—previous to the payment of thirteen millions of bullion to the depositors, and yet having 30,000,000/. of notes in circulation-- be in possession of 29,000,000/. of bullion immedi ately previous to the payment of the depositors, 9,000,000/. in the banking department, and 16,000,000/. in the issue department, as the Bank, by law, would be bound to have bullion in its coffers for every note issued above 14,000,000/.; so, there being an issue of 30,000,0001., there ought, and, of course, would be, 16,000,0001. of bullion, being the amount of issue over and above 14,000,000/. Your correspondent says that Sir Ro bert Peel admits that the Bank of England may issue 30,000,000/. of notes—to be sure the Bank may, who can doubt it ?—there is no limit to the amount of issue of the Bank of England ; the only limit is, that the Bank must at all times have a value in bul lion in the coffers of the issue department, equal to the whole issue over 14,000,000/. ; so the Bank of England might have an issue of 100,000,000/. of notes, provided it held bullion to the value of 86,000,000/. Now, we find that although the depositors shall have paid thirteen millions from the banking depart ment, there will be sixteen millions of bullion to meet the thirty millions of notes—a very handsome balance-sheet for a banker to show his customers. Yet " Common Sense" asks, " how are the thirty mil lions of notes to be cashed ?" Let " Common Sense" put himself in the position of a merchant who is indebted to his creditors 30,0001.; he has 14,0001. at his banker's, and in his warehouses goods valued at 16,0001. He calls his creditors together, shows them the state of his affairs, and deploringly asks " How am I to pay you 30,000/.?" The reply would be, " Sell your goods, and turn them into cash." So will the Bank of England be enabled to sell its " securities," and obtain cash to meet the 14,000,0001. of notes, should such a necessity arise ; this is how the thirty millions of notes can be cashed. " Common Sense " ought to know that a banker who holds securities equal to all demands upon him, although he has not at any one instant`gold to pay every debtor, is no more insolvent than a merchant who has not cash to pay every debt, yet has merchandise in his possession which will realise more money than will satisfy every demand upon him. " Common Sense" does not know the working of the New Bank Charter Bill ; he -fancies if the depositors.were to make a demand of 13 millions on the banking department, and the gold was not there, that it could be obtained from the issue department without 13 millions of notes being presented. TlCe c!erk from the banking department would not get five sovereigns from the issue department, if he did not present a 51. note for them, the same as one of the public. Whatever amount of bullion may be draws by the depositors from the banking department, will have no effect whatever on the amount of builio4 held by the issue department, without the banking department presenting notes to the issue department for the value of every sovereign that may be required. I am, Sir, yours, &c. R. W. D. Ilfracombe, June 29th, 1844. DETERMINED SUICIDE BY SUFFOCATION.—OR Fri day Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Geove and Dragon, Buckingham-place, Fitzroy-square, on the body ot Mr. King, aged 24, pianoforte-maker. Alr. Thomas Dedwick, deceased's brother-in-law, deposed that he was a pianofort*- Jnaker, and that the deceased lived and worked with him. During the last twelve months, deceased suffered greatly from ill health and depression of spirits. About two months ago deceased was greatly affected at seeing a female, to whom he was attached, walking with anotlor man, and from that period he wasin a very melancholy stat* of mind. Last Tuesday he was very silent, and suppeil with witness at ten o'clock at night, scarcely speaking ~ word. They retired at twelve o'clock. On the folio . vrei t morning, witness finding the door of the water-closet toned, had it fOrcod open, when he found deceased crouch up in the water-closet quite dead, with a panier of charoOki burning on the floor. So resolud was he upon self-destrut • tion, that he pasted paper ovet , Tvery cranny and crevice of the closet, to prevent the escape of the poisonous gas of the charcoal: His left arm and side were burned by the flames of the charcoal fire. Mr. Proctor corroborated this witness's evidence. . From other statements it appeared that the de ceased had cut the paper in strips with which he covered the, crannies, and made the paste for fixing them on in the work shop. While so engaged, he ,joined in several songs, with the workmen, one of whom having said that he would go to. said, " 1 . , too, will be at Gravesend on Sunday next, he Gravesend on that day."
