UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, Ne. 8, WATERLOO PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON, And No. 2, CHARLOTTE-ROW, MANSION-HOUSE. Established by Act of Parliament. This Company affords the most perfect security, from an ample, active, and large Subscribed Capital, with great inducements, in the very moderate amount of the Premiums to be paid, in nearly any way to suit the convenience of parties in every situation of life. When Insurances are made on the regular scale, for the whole period of life, half the Premium may remain unpaid for five years, at interest, to be deducted eventually from the Policy, or paid off at convenience. Tradesmen very often lose large sums by Young Noblemen and Gentlemen dying previous to the parties whose Estates or Property they would inherit. Such Losses may be easily avoided, by Insur ing the Younger Life against the Older, at a Trifling Expense. For instance, the Premium`to be paid, if 20 predeceases 60, would only be 1/. Is. 4d. per cent. 30 against 70, 1/. 6s. 7d. per cent.—and in the like proportion for the different ages. Insurances from the Country may be effected by application to ;be Resident Director, Edward Boyd, Esq., No. 8, Waterloo-place, -ran-1110; London, or to any of the Company's Agents. 32, GREAT RUSSELL-STREET, BLOOMSBURY, AND' 10, ATLUDGATF—HILL, CITY.

Hall, Thompson, and Sewell, Salter's-hall The reputation of the Blaenavon Iron, and the well-known success of these Works, (luring a period of forty years, sustain for this undertaking the character of a legitimate and lucrative investment. The property, containing about 12,000 acres leasehold, and 450 acres freehold, comprises one of the largest and most productive Mineral Estates in South Wales. There are five furnaces, with all their subordinate works and buildings, 470 workmen's houses, and a forge and mill. Of the Leasehold Estate about one-fourth is underkt to 'two neighbouring Iron Works, on lease, at a rental which, with the rents received for houses and the surface lands of the remaining portion, leaves the Blaenavon Property, purchased on behalf of the Company, free of rent and royalty. The Furnaoes are producing after the rate of 18,000 tons of pig iron per annum, and the Forge " turns out" 100 tons per week of the best bar and cable iron. There is also a profitable coal and lime trade, unconnected with the market for iron. An investigation of the books, showing the profits of the concern during a period of extreme depression and difficulty, and a calcula tion based upon the prices of iron for fifteen years (since 1821), justify a confident expectation of annual dividends of 10 per cent., without reference in such calculation to the continuance of the pre sent large profits. Should, however, the prosperity of the iron trade continue, a much larger dividend will be realised. Ten pounds per share will be required at the time of appropria tion, and the remainder according to the decision of the Directors ; but it is not intended that above 401. per share shall be called for'. The Shareholders will be entitled to the profits from Midsummer next, and a dividend declared at Christmas, 1836. . . . . .

W ONDON, SHOREHAM, and BRIGHTON ALA RAILWAY, WITHOUT A TUNNEL. • An Advertisement having appeared in the papers of this day, stating inferentially that only two projected lines of Railway between London and Brighton, are under the consideration of Parliament, the Provisional Committee of this undertaking (the third line, but the only one without any tunnels whatever) deem it right to put their Shareholders and the public in possession of the fact, that this projected undertaking is under the consideration of the Committee of the House of Commons, equally with the line proposed by Sir John Rennie, and that (as varied from this line) by Mr. Stephen son. The Committee of the House of Commons will in due course report upon this line, which, in the minds of all parties not preju diced, is the best line proposed ; and notwithstanding the efforts strenuously making to induce a belief to the contrary, confident reliance may be placed upon a favourable report being given by an impartial Committee of the House of Commons upon this line, the only one without a tunnel.

The Provisional Committee are proceeding with the necessary arrangements connected with the Branch advertised to Chichester, and an active survey of the line is being prosecuted for carrying into effect the original intention of this Company for constructing the intended Railway between London and Portsmouth by the most direct and practicable line, as they have throughout acted under the conviction that any other or more circuitous line must only entail on the passengers and transit of goods between those places addi tional cost of conveyance, in proportion to the extra length adopted, without any corresponding benefits being derived. The promoters of. and the Provisional Committee of Manage ment, of this undertaking, abstain from fully publishing the measure until the results of the surveys will enable them to lay the exact route of the main line itself, and of the respective branches in de tail, before the public, so that efficient means of investigation may be afforded, which can alone secure public support and the sanction of the Legislature. The proposed Direct line, which will pass through Guildford and Godalming, was submitted to the attention of a public meeting, held at Guildford on the 25th instant, at which the mayor, John Small piece, Esq., presided, when a Committee of the inhabit an t s o f th a t borough was appointed t o take into consideration the best means of securing to Guildford and Godalming the advantages of such mode of communication.

Reform to Ireland as is enjoyed by England and Scotland, and for this purpose to pass the Bill as it left the Commons, with out being impaired in its principle and spirit. A similar peti tion is under signature ley the inhabitants of Irvine, vilio are manifesting the deep interest they feel for their brethren of the sister kingdom, by the crowds that are pressing forward to ex hibit their subscriptions—that justice may be done to a people who are their best and only customers in the coal trade, and with whom they reciproCate in the corn and provision trade, from Dublin along the cast, north, and west coast to Limerick. —Glasgow Chronicle. ' LISBON, MAY 7.—A great deal of angry contro versy has arisen out of the Prince Don Ferdinand to the office of Marshal General of the Army, an office tantamount to that of Commander in Chief. The Representative Chamber of the Cortes had declared their intention of dispensing with this ap pointment altogether, and the Opposition decry it as at once unconstitutional, expensive, and unnecessaay. The Govern ment organs, on the other hand, defend it on the ground of its forming one of the essential stipulations of the marriage con tract, stating besides, that it is necessary to the security of the constitutional throne, and highly advantageous in every sense, putting an end to the jealousies of rival families, who might aspire to th e di st i nct i on , an d strengthening the legitimate claim of the young Prince to the respect and attachment of the army. The appointment is certainly popular with the latter, by nhom rho Prince is much liked. He has been appointed Honorary Colonel of Don Pedro's favourite regiment, the sth Cacadores. On the 29th he reviewed the National Guards of this city, in presence of the Queen and a numerous Court. The National Guards mustered in considerable number, and their appearance was highly respectable and imposing. The occasion of the review was the anniversary of the constitutional charter, and the city was illuminated in the evening in conse quence. The Queen and Prince drive out every day without atiy military escort, and they are almost always to be seen in the royal box at the San Carlos in the evenin g . They are said to be very happy, and much attached to each other. Let . . us hope that in this case common report may be true. The "great lesson we have to learn, is the impor tance of the bulk of the nation—of what arc called the inferior classes. In proof of this, we may take for examples, Russia and England. It is not too much to say, that if the labour ing classes of the Russian empire could be put upon a level with the average body of English labourers ; if their con sumption could be made similar, and as great ; then the financial resources, the annual public revenue of Russia, and her political strength and influence, would be increased much more than they would be by the conquest of another empire as large and as populous as her own," and in the same condi tion as her own, though such empire would form a considera ble portion of the world.—professor Jones.

TROTTING RetCRS.—We understand that several gentlemen in Manchester, 'actuated by a desire t promote the improve ment of the breed of that useful description of horse, the road stxr, have subscribed 100 sovs. in aid of a Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each (half forfeit), to be trotted for over Newton race course at the races there next month. We should not be surprised to learn that this experiment, backed as it is by a good stake, will be successful, and that this sort of race will be generally introduced at the ensuing meetings of the season. Of this, at least, we are sure, that no description of races can be more useful in the result on the breed of the horse. We believe that the stake will be open to horses of all ages, each to carry I2st., two mile heats. The Americans hive long been celebrated for this sort of race, in which some of their horses have been trained to a most surprising speed. Perhaps not the smallest advantage attending this race is that there is no need of an expensive system of training. SOUTH SHIELDS RACES-21IoNDA r, 111 Ar 23.

By THE COUNT DE LAS CASES. —Not even Boswell, in his inimitable record of Johnson's sayings and doings, has opened so many inlets to an acquaint ance with his theme, as may be found in the details of these amusing volumes ; nor can any study of Napoleon's achieve ments impart an accurate knowledge of the man, without these familiar illustrations. These Memoirs hrve long been .1 , standard wor k on t h e E mperor ' s hi story, an d we are g l a d to find that Mr. Colburn has presented the.n to the public at one eighth of their original cost, namely, in twenty shilling num bers. A re-issue of the work is now, we perceive, taking place, in f our vo l umes , e l egant l y b oun d, p r i ce 5 shillings each, the second of which is to be published on the Ist of June. Among Among the other attractions of this week we must n ot omit to mention, that it is embellished with 20 engravi n g s, illustrative I of the characters and events of which the author treats. ( From the Hampshire Telegraph of May 28. PORTSMOUTH, May 27.—The Tyne, 28, Captain Lord Ingestrie, left Gibraltar for Minorca on the 13th of May. On the same day the Orcs'es sailed for Barcelona, and the Columbine for Tangiers, an I thence fo - : Plymce:th. The Katherine Stewart Forbes transport, Li,ut. Thomp son, agent, arrived this morning. from Jersey, with the depot of the Ist battalion of -the Inks Brigade, composed of 13 officers and 218 men, under the command of Major Gossett, which was landed this afternoon, and have taken up their q • wirte-s at Fort Moncton. Th e K a th er i ne S tewart F or b es is come into harbour to refit. The Gossamer tender sailed for Liverpool y,sterday fcr newly-raised seamen. The Beacon is ordered to this port to be paid off. The Sovereign transport entered the Cove of Cork on Saturday, to convey to Nova Scotia drafts from the depot companies of the 34th, 4;3d, and 82d regiments, destined to join the servide companies of those corps. The Trinculo, at Plymouth, will be paid off into ordinary in a few days. Within a trifling number, the line-of-battle ships at Ply mouth are manned. The Minden waits a wind only to get into the Sound, and will be followed by the Cornwallis on Tuesday ; they were both, as well as the Talavera,_ ready for sea, and will proceed to Spithead, where it is under stood the whole of the line-of-battle-ships recently fitted out are to rendezvous. The Vanguard and Bellerophon arc already at this anchora;_ze. When assembled they will present a novel and interesting sight to all who feel that " England' s b es t b u l war k s arc her wooden walls," and will no doubt prove a source of great attraction. The report of a visit from the King before the squadron leaves this anchorage is very current, and generally believed. A great number of strangei's are already to be seen, and many houses have been taken in the neighbourhood for the ensu ing summer. 'Die ships Moira and :Maitland, both employed as trans ports, and both nominally of 600 tons burden, arc now fit ting in this harbour, to ;convey each 600 men across the Atlantic ; the former is destined for Barbadoes, and the litter for Canada. With naval characters, this proceeding is warmly censured ; soldiers ought not to be crowded ; their healths cannot be maintained, and it is a greater pro portion of men, to the tonnage of the vessels, than emigrant ships are allowed to take. So highly objectionable is the contemplated measure that means are already taking to bring the subject immediately before Parliament. AT SPlTHEAD—Vanguard, Bellerophon.

(From the Devonport Telegraph.) PLYMOUTH, MAY 28.—His Majesty's ship Columbine, Commander Henderson, arrived last evening from the Me diterranean-L-she left Malto on the 2d instant. The squa dron was then cruising off the island, consisting of the Caledonia, Thunderer, Canopus, Revenge, Edinburgh, and Vernon. The Portland and Barham were in harbour. The Portland was about to return to Athens. The Favourite had tone to Tripoli, from which place she was to convey the British Consul to Constantinople. The Tribune was at Smyrna, the Hind in the Dardanelles, Saphire at Corfu, Medea had returned to Athens, after conveying the King of Bavaria to Ancona. Before the Columbine left Malta, letters were received from Colonel Chesney, dated 21st March. He had been five days on the passage down the Euphrates, with both steamers complete. The Columbine arrived at Gibraltar on the 13th. found there the Tyne and the Orestes—they were both about to return to the north east coast of Spain. The Tartarus steam-vessel was about proceeding with the English mails for Malta. The garrison of Gibraltar was healthy. . The Columbine touched at Tangiers, and received dispatches from the British Consul. Passengers by the Columbine—Hon. Lieutenant Foley, 53d, Lieutenant Prevost, R.N., Messrs. Hewlett, Sharp, Field, and Doling, Mates ; also Count Hendersherna, who is a lieutenant in the Swedish navy, on his return to his native country, after serving for the last two years in the Portland. Remain in Hamoaze—Royal Adelaide, Cornwallis. Min den, Trinculo, Magpie. - - - In the Sound—Talavera and Columbine. STATE OF TRADE. (From. the Leeds Intelligencer.) LEEDS.-Our manufacturers .continue almost fully .as busy as they have been throughout the spring, but the de mand for balk goods in the cloth halls is not so brisk. The partial cessation in the demand which we mentioned as having taken place a fortnight ago, still continues, and there is consequently a better assortment of cloths in the market than there was at that time ; but the merchants seem desirous of ascertaining the result of the wool markets before they commit themselves by extensive purchases for the autumn and winter trade. HALIFAX.—There was more business done here on Sa turday than on the previous market day, principally in fancy goods, but. the demand for says and lastings was very flat. BRADFORD.--WC had again a good market on Thursday, and from the state of the manufacturers' stocks there is no apprehension of any sudden interruption to the present almost unexampled briskness of the worsted trade. The principal demand was for six-quarter merinos. The stocks of yarn are low, and will remain so for sonic weeks, until the turn of the wool market is ascertained ; and there is just now comparatively little doing in wools. IlEcNtosnwixt:.—The demand for blankets for the American market still continues to give full employment to the manufacturers ; and little has hitherto been done in anticipation of the home trade. It is fully expected by many that prices will decline after the large order s whic h have been and are now in hand have been executed for the United States. Blanket wool appears to be rather lower in price. NEW WORK BY TIIE AUTHOR OF " THE PILOT."—We are requested to state that Mr. Cooper's new work, " Excursions in Switzerland," in 2 vols. post Bvo., is published this day by Mr. Bentley, New Burlington-street, and may be had of all Booksellers. AWFUL AND MELANCHOLY EVENT.--On Sun day night last a man named Lacy, who resided in Boolsbawn, parish of Glynn, in this county, came by his death under the following appalling and dreadful circumstarc - s ,—lt ap pears that the unfortunate man was addicted to the fret use of ardent spirits; that on the night in question be came home about eleven o'clock, in a state of intoxication, when his wire justly remonstrated against the life he was leading ; but in stead of her admonitions having the tendency of producing compunction in the breast of the unfortunate man, they had quite a contrary effect, by inducing him, in a state of great ex citement, to turn to tile road his wretched wife with an infant on her breast, himself retaining another child within the house, aged about four years. Early on the following morning, a smoke was observed by some of the neighbours in the village corning the end of the house, When the door was burst open, and the unfortunate man found stretched on the burning em bers of his bed, with one arm burnt off to the elbow ; and when the body was stirred, in order to be carried out, the other hand fell from the wrist, and his brains poured about the floor. The young child that remained in the house was providentially only scorched on one side; the little innocent when the bed took fire, which was caused by a lighted candle being stuck kzainst one of the posts, crept under the counter, and remained there uninjured till rescued the following merning. A single pail of water was found sufficient to quench the fire.— Wexford s .—The R. a clical preparedA assoc pet i tion t i i o o n o o t o f Ind: pendent.
