The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a pelicy granted by this Company. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual aceamulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THE 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 de so without reference to the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour, of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to complete security will permit.

One personal visit only is necessary to effect a permanent cure THE BANK OF ENGLAND. " We propose," observed Sir Robert Peel, " that the secu rity of the Bank shall be fourteen millions; and that the existing loan to the Government shall continue on the pre sent terms. We might pay off this loan ; but we deem it better to leave the eleven millions due to the Bank as an as sessment in security for the amount of issue, leaving the other three millions within the entire control of the Bank itself, to limit or extend its issues as circumstances might arise." What is the " general principle," which, in :.;ir Robert Peel's opinion, justifies the exaction of security from the Bank for any portion of its issues? We do not, be it observed, dis pute the soundness.of the." principle" in question. We only desire, if there be such a " principle," to see it fairly "carried out." If it be desirable that the Bank should give security for its issues—and that the security provided should be in the form of debt due by the Government to the Bank—then, it would seem to follow, in the first place, that no banking establishment ought to he allowed to issue paper money without giving similar security—and it would seem to follow, in the second place, that every creditor of the Government is entitled to exercise that privilege of issuing paper money, which Sir Robert Peel's devotion to "general prin ciples" induces him to concede to the Bank of England. If, in short, Sir Robert Peel's "general principles," be sound, the body which ought, above all others, to exercise the privilege of issuing paper money, is the body of national creditors. The owners of the funded debt ought, in conformity with Sir Robert's assumptions, to be allowed to supply us with paper money. "We owe the Bank of England, eleven millions of money ; therefore," so argues Sir Robert Peel, " the Bank ought to be allowed to issue promissory notes to that amount." This reasoning may be perfectly irrefragable ; but if it be, then, it would seem to follow, that as the country owes to a certain class of persons eight hundred millions of money, that class ought to be allowed to issue eight hundred millions of pro missory notes. It is. quite clear, besides, that Sir Robert Peel treats this question of " security" in the most appropriate fashion ? Ought " security" to determine simply the amount of paper money—or ought it also to determine its character? If paper money be " secured," ought it not also to be incon vertible, save in the general market ? If the country owes eleven millions to the Bank, why should the Bank be com pelled to find gold at a fixed rate of value for the amount of a debt due to itself? Many deep thinkers have weighed well this question of " security" for paper money issues ; and, generally speaking, their conclusion has been that Govern ment ought to issue paper money to the extent of the inte rest on the national debt, and to declare at the same time, these issues to be inconvertible into the precious metals, except at the risk of the holders. Such a paper currency would, obviously, be perfectly " secure ;" nay, it would possess precisely the same kind of " security" which Sir Robert Peel requ►res in the case of eleven millions of Bank of England paper; and as the Government paper would, at all times, be in demand to meet the claims of the tax-gatherer, it could never suffer depreciation. In the " Proposals for a secure and adequate Currency," published some years ago, by Earl Stanhope, this question of Government paper is treated with the Noble Earl's characteristic ability, and in that spirit of profound familiarity with the subject, which all his Lord ship's speculations on economical subjects exhibit. These are Earl Stanhope's propositions : " With respect to Government paper. " 1. Gov3rnmerrt paper, when limited by Parliament in the amount of its issue, and in due proportion to the sums required for the public service, could not be subject to any considerable or continued depreciation, inasmuch as any dis count, however small or transient, which it might bear, would create an instant demand for it in the payment of taxes, in which it would be a legal tender. " 2. Government paper being not convertible into specie, the amount of it in circulation could not be reduced by a de mand for coin which might be exported. _ "3. Government paper would very much facilitate the execution of public works, which might produce great benefit to the country, and increase the revenue, and it would extend the circulation to such an amount as the exigencies of the public might require, in the same manner as has on many occasions been done by the issue of Exchequer-bills. "It is therefore proposed that Government paper of 1/. and upwards shall be a legal tender in the payment of taxes, and that it shall be issued to such an amount, and for such public purposes (including the payment of Exchequer-bills) as Parliament shall direct." We pass now to the consideration of Sir Robert Peel's remarkable avowal on the subject of free-trade principles in relation to the issues of money. Whenever the Right Hon. Gentleman approaches the question of currency, he ceases (of course he does !) to be a free-trader : " I admit that competition is calculateed to give you the article you require at the cheapest rate; but I say that a paper currency is governed naturally by different principles from those which regulate any other article. Ido not want the greatest quantity of currency at the cheapest rate. What I want is this, that I shall have an ample supply of that paper currency, whose value shall be exactly conformable to gold, and that such supply shall be given to me by parties in whose honour, integrity, and solvency I can place the., great,tst confidence. I don't want, therefore, the cheapest article. I want the best article, and the quantity I want is governed by quite another principle than that which regulates the competition of other articles." In the matter of currency, Sir Robert Peel "wants the best article—not the cheapest." The best in relation to the purposes of what sections of society? Of annuitants and money-jobbers, on the one hand—or of all orders of producers, on the other? Sir R. Peel, of course, assumes that system of currency to be "the best" which bests suits—not the in dustrious classes—but the classes which prey on industry. Sir Robert Peel has told his agricultural supporters that the true rule of national policy is to "buy cheap and to sell dear." As soon, however, as there arises an occasion on which this, his pet maxim, might be turned to account by agricultural produ cers, Sir Robert unhesitatingly repudiates it. If it be good to " buy cheap and to sell dear," the agriculturist is, surely, en titled to demand the privilege of selling his produce " dear," and of buying the money in which the value of that pro duce is measured, " cheap." " No," interposes the con sistent Sir Robert, " I like corn cheap, but I like money good; and, in proportion to its goodness, must be the dear ness of money. If, in fact, money were not dear,' corn would not long continue cheap; therefore let us have none but the best kind of money—that kind of money which shall ' best' and most effectually extend the power of capitalists, annuitants, and mortgagees, over all classes of producers." Sir Robert Peel is, in fact, the true " farmer's friend." He is never idle in their cause. He is always busied, either in cheapening, directly, agricultural produce--er in adding, directly, to the agriculturist's debts and burdens. —Past.

For particulars, apply at the Clerk's Office, at the Cordwainers• 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 hint from effecting a new 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 use 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 5001. to he 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one half of the 101., and interest for tke retained half; and, if death should occur In the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the 51. 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., may either be repaid, er retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payab. • bythe Company.

About half pastae Hythe, me ss e messenger instantly e three o'clock in the morning, as one of Mr. Garrad's men was going to the malt-houses, he discovered flames issuing alarmed from th e the of r t o h o e f c o o t f t a g t hee near b u building. . b d e ya near n , g a n t . h e d H ftrhoemwh one o le en fa d bri to e,thteogoetthheerr, w w i h th inh fi , was dispatched t o Colchester for the fire-engines, which flamesgood (three in number) were at the spot in less than an h our, ac companied by the eng i ne from the Hythe. By t hi s t i me supply of water from th e river, defied the exertions of the firemen and a great num b er of persons, who, from t h e a l arm given, were present, an d rendered every assistance in their power to subdue the raging vneotkiwiinths'stig notwithstanding in a element, but their efforts were unavailing, as in less than two hours nothing was left standing but the outer walls. The roof fell in about five o'clock with a tremendous crash. The five kilns fell soon after. The property consumed is to a very considerable amount, as there were between 3,000 and 4,000 quarters of malt, and about 1,300 quarters of barley, besides other valuable property, in the different chambers. About 5,0001. worth of the malt is the property of Messrs. Hanbury and Co., brewers, London, and the remainder of the stock is Mr. Garrad's own property, whose loss is unfortunately not covered by insurance. The premises were the property of Mr. Charles Hawkins timber-merchant, of Colchester, and are insured in the Essex and Suffolk Equitable. We have not heard whether the property of Messrs. Hanbury and Co. was insured. The precise cause of -the fire has not been ascertained. Many conjectures are afloat, and the prevalent opinion is that it originated from one of the kilns, the whole of which were charged with malt for high drying. Another opinion is, that the malt, after being thrown from the kilns the night previous, must have ignited on the chamber, and caused the calamitous accident. There does not appear the least reason to suppose that it was the act of an incendiary. The value of the property consumed (including the buildings), is estimated at about 12,000/. A considerable number of workmen will be thrown out of employ by the accident.

The monument consists of a handsome Gothic shrine from a design by the late Mr. Kemp, *losing a marble statue by Mr. Steele, to the memory of Sir Walter Scott, The Committee were guided in their adoption of the plan by the weight of public opinion in favour of that ulti mately selected, and from which the monument is now in course of erection in Edinburgh, the city of Sir Walter's birth. The greater part of the building is already erected, but the funds originally subscribed are found inaiequate for its completion, and although great exertions have been made to raise the whole amount in Edinburgh, about 1,0001. is still wanting. We cannot conceive a greater humiliation to any nation than the fact that a monument to such a man should remain unfinished. This claim to respect and distinction should not be confined either to the city or the land of his birth. The only limit we would propose would be that the sum required should be raised by subscription from those only who have derived pleasure and instruction from his works. We are satisfied that a collection on such terms would soon enable Messrs. Coutts, the bankers to the Committee, to an nounce the receipt of a balance sufficient for the object. THE CHILD MURDER AT HAMPTON COURT. A curious question arises respecting the right o f the Coroner of her Majesty's palaces to hold an inquest on those portions of the body of the child found in one w of the drains of the palace at Hampton Court. By the S. 2 HenryVlll ,c. 12, —" If a murder be committed within the precincts of the King's palace, the inquisition shall be taken by the coroner of the household, by twelve or more of the yeomen, office r s o f his Majesty's household." Now, in the case in question, the body was found in or near the mouth of a drain which runs from the palace, and under a public road, and the towin path of the river Thimes, and certainly out of the precincts of the palace. Nor can it be assumed that the murder must necessarily have been committed in the palace, as, although the drain at the mouth of which the limbs of a child were found, runs under a portion of the palace, it communicates with other places far removed from it, and, besides, the limbs might possibly have been thrown into the mouth of the drain from the river Thames. Under these circum stances, the Coroner for the county of Middlesex has very properly held his inquisition, and it now remains to be seen whether the Coroner of her Majesty's palaces will held another, summoning for that purpose twelve or more of the yeomen, officers of her Majesty's household, as directed by the Act already quoted. MISSIONS OF THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND. The annual meeting of the members and friends of the Church of Scotland was held yesterday in the large room at Exeter-hall, for the purpose of advocating the educational and missionary schemes of that Church. The chair was taken at eleven o'clock by the Marquis of Bute, her Majesty's Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. The platfbrin was crowded, and the body ofthe hall was nearly filled by a highly respectable assemblage. The Marquis of BUTS, on opening the proceedings of the day, adverted to the great superiority of the people of Scot land to those of England in point of education, both religious and secular, and he eulogised the efforts which the Church of Scotland had made to enlighten the poorer classes of society in that part of the kingdom by the educational and mis sionary institutions it had established. The Rev. A. 111‘GLAsitAN read the report for the last year, in which frequent mention was made of the recent secession from the Church of Scotland, and the difficulties encoun tered from that cause ; but whilst lamenting the loss of so many valued labourers, the Church of Scotland, it was stated, " is as strenuously resolved, as at any former period, to spend and be spent in the cause of Christ and in the extension of his kingdom." The parishes vacated in 1843 have been filled up, and nearly 1,200 clergy men are now united in their desires to promote the objects of the missions of the Church of Scotland. Among the most munificent of the contributors to its funds were mentioned the Marquis of Bute, 1001. per annum ; James Matheson ' Esq., donation of 2001., and 251. per annum ; John Swinton, Esq., donation of 50/., and 10/. per annum ; and Miss Campbell. donation of 100/., and 251. per annum. It was stated that the lay association has raised upwards of 5,000/. during the short period since its formation. The ob jects of the missionary plans were stated briefly, as follows : For increasing the means of education in Scotland, particu larly in the Highlands and Islands and large towns; for the propagation of the gospel in India and foreign parts ; for promoting the religious interests of Scottish families in the British colonies ; for aiding congregations already established in Scotland ; employing probationers, and encouraging young men to the office of the ministry. For carrying out the plans of education, the income for the last year amounted to 4,0001., the number of schools was 146, which had afforded the means of education to upwards of 13,000 pupils. A normal school has been established at Edinburgh, and a new building is now erecting at an estimated expense of 8,000/., of which the Go vernment granted one half. The reading of the report was loudly cheered, and the usual resolution for its adoption was carried unanimously. The Rev. Dr. 11PLEop, Dean of the Chapel Royal, Scot land, moved the first resolution, and, in a very animated speech, after tracing the rise and progress of the Church of Scotland Missionary Society, which, from the smallest be ginnings, has risen to such importance that it has at present 9,0001. invested in Government securities, and has its teachers and missionaries in most parts of the world, he proceeded to allude to the state of the Church of Scotland itself, and to the recent secession from its body. The excitement that had been produced by the eloquent appeals to the passions and the feelings of the people had, he said, nearly subsided, and he felt assured that the Church of Scotlandnow rested on as firm & basis as ever. It was rooted in the hearts and the institutions of the people, and it would not be destroyed. Scotland would not allow it to be overthrown, for the Church was too deeply rooted in their affections to be pulled down by every wind of doctrine. England would not allow it to be put down, for it was one of the time honoured institu tions of the land, and not one stone of the venerable insti tution would be permitted to be removed ; the Church of England itself would not allow it to be put down, for the Church of Scotland was the Church recognised by the laws ; nay more, it would never be put down, for God would not allow that Church which had borne testimony to the word under all difficulties and in all countries, to be destroyed.-- (Cheers.) He concluded by moving the resolution, to the effect, "That the extension of a sound Scriptural education in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, under the direction of the Church of Scotland, is not only urgently required, but eminently worthy of the support and countenance of patriots, Christians, and Churchmen. It was announced by Dr. M`LEop that the Duke of Suther land had sent a donation of 1501. The LORD PROVOST of GLASGOW seconded the resolution. The Rev. Dr. HILL moved the next resolution, to the effect, " That the home, foreign, and colonial missions of the Church of Scotland having been eminently owned and blessed of God, it is the duty of that Church not only to maintain but to enlarge them to the utmost of her means ; and this meet ing hereby records its thankfulness to the great Head of the Church that a missionary spirit animates the hearts of the Scottish clergy as intense as at any former period of her his tory." In supporting this resolution Dr. Hill all u d e d t o th e secessions from the Church of Scotland, the aniount of which he said had been greatly exaggerated; and, as all indication of the real extent to which the secession bad been carried, he instanced two districts with which he was mere particularly connected in which the seceders amounted but to one tenth and to one-seventh of the whole population. It was, indeed, the fact that most of . the foreign missionaries had se ceded, and that it became, therefore, necessary to appoint, others in their room and to furnish funds for their appoint ments. The Rev. Dr. BARR, in seconding the resolution, further alluded to the recent secession, which he said had now passed away as a cloud, and left the Ch urc h o f S co tl an d more fi rm l y established than ever. In the course of his speech the Rev. Gentleman made an accidental blunder that excited general laughter. He was enforcing very urgently the necessity of employing catechists in great numbers to act as sub-mis sionaries, but he miscalled them in one instance Catholics, therefore the meeting was somewhat startled to hear the Rev. Presbyterian Clergyman call on them to "send an army of Catholics among the people," as the best means of promoting the missionary labours of the Church of Scotland. The Rev. J. CUMMING moved the next resolution : " That a national Protestant Church establishment, with fixed creed and ecclesiastical authority, and protected alike from the dictation of the patron, and the domination of the people—is not only the greatest safety of the State and secu rity for civil freedom, but also, when blessed by the Spirit of God, is eminently calculated to deepen the influence of re• ligion in men's hearts at home, and to carry it to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile abroad." This resolution opened directly the question in dispute with the non-intrusionists. Mr. Cumming read a paper which had been distributed very extensively in the hall by the Seceders, stating that a meet ing of their Missionary Society would be held in June, adding that all the missionaries of the Church of Scotland had seceded. He said in reference to the former part of the announcement, that he heartily wished the Seceders all suc cess in spreading the Gospel in heathen lands, and as to the latter portion of the announcement, he would only say that, with the exception of Dr. Jupp, there were none of the se ceding missionaries whose places could not be readily sup plied. He then proceeded with great animation to defend the principles of the Church of Scotland, and to contend that it enjoyed all possible freedom in spiritual matters, and that the objections of the non-intrusionists were without any real foundation. _ _ - ls;WPart of Mr. Cumming's address, and occasionally during the preceding speeches, some members of the Secession Church exhibited their disapprobation by hissing, which, however, was quickly suppressed by redoubled applause. The Rev. HUGH M‘Nair., of Liverpool, seconded the reso lution ; and, in doing so, entered into a careful analysis of +l-44 great question of spiritual independence which has ()clona l( ' so much of public attention in Scotland for 50ine time past, and carefully impressed upon his audience the necessity of distinguishing between things that were distinct from things which differed, which he seemed to thillk had been the fault of the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel, in his luminous speech on this subject, delivered at the great meeting of the Free Church of Scotland, held in Exeter Hall a short time ago. lie argued that the Established Church and the Secession held the same principles as to the essential importance and propriety of spiritual independence in Christian communi ties, but that they differed as to the legitimate application of those principles, under particular circumstances. The real question was, whether there was an absolute necessity far resorting to those extreme measures which had charac terised that remarkable movement to which he alluded. The resolution was carried with much applause. The Rev. Dr. STEPHENS, of Bombay, then moved a vote of thanks to the Noble Chairman, which was carried by ac clamation. The Marquis of BUTE returned thanks, and dissolved the assembly. NEW OBLITERATING STAMP AT THE POST-OFFICE. —By command of the Noble Earl (Lonsdale), the Post master-General, a newly-invented obliterating stamp is now In use. The stamp is of the circular form, and bears in its entre the number of the post-town whence the letter is dis patched. To the public this stamp furnishes peculiar advan tages, and the benefit of its use in the office is also equally apparent. The post-towns from Abingdon to Yeovil are alphabetically arranged and consecutively numbered: Leicester bears the impress 449 in the centre of the_obelilea rating mark, it being the 449th town on the list. ra .eg Th of spoiled stamps struck with an uniform obliterating gaystamp of the is in this manner prevented, while it enables h as the Inland-office to be more expeditiously performed, country postmaster, thus postage frank is obliterated by the process f e o a r e d h eli av v i e n ry g in the metropolis from being delayed by securing the vast body of correslood ed e b c y e The mark has also to be gone through in the London In h intendedat more business-like than the advantage of appe,ar!ng . li , N .— hursday evening Mr. tic DEATH BY 13° ° RoseCrown,and Crown-street, the confused mode of obliterat T ion originally adopted. of Remy Woodley, a child aged five years. tobedtd n ec ig eas ht ed la as st itedhim Soho, on the body brother, a lad aged ten years, stated C.

Witness accordingly did 8 , . ; but he did not see what deceased did with it. The next morning deceased said g n i ess ve aß him a he had eaten the putty. It was a piece about half as big as a marble. Witness got It from a boy named Roberts, who said he had stolen It ftom a tub outside the door of an oil-shop at the corner of Plicenix• street, where he had often got putty before. Mr. J. Snow, ofFrith-st t, ree surgeon, said that he was sent for to attend deceased at the house of his parents, in Rose-street, on Wednesday morning last. Witness found him extremely ill, and evidently suffering from the effects of some metallic and irritant poison. Witness administered proper remedies, but deceased died at two o'clock the same afternoon. Upon a post mortem examination, the stomach and other in ternal organs were found to be highly inflamed. There was no doubt that deceased's death had been caused by swallow ing a quantity of white lead, of Which article the putty was composed. It was not at all unusual for persons to live as long as three or four days after swallowing such poison. The oil mixed up with the white lead would retard its influs;ace. After some deliberation, the jury returned a verdict that de ceased " Died from the effect of poison eweldentally ad ministered." COLLIERS' WAGES.—We suppose wages differ in different districts, and that in the same spot one clever steady man will earn more than another ; but we have before us tt statement of the earnings of four men in a colliery in this county, with names, dates, and other par ticulars, from which it appears that during the last few weeks their gross wages have averaged 2/. 2s.

Ships in Harbour—St. Vincent, Victory, Victoria and Albert, Excellent, Fearless, Fanny, Emerald, Coiling. wood, Netley, and Echo steam-tug, ----- - - CeicKET.--The first match at " Lord's" for the season was played on Monday between the Marylebone and the St. John's -wood Club. The 11 of the first:- named body, however, mustered very weak on the occa sion, and were wofully deficient in bowling. Indeed, i t may fairly be stat e d th at t h ey had but one bowler (Hill yer), and the result was, that whilst all the fine balls of the latter, from the hardness of the ground, went over; the wicket, those from Sir T. Moncrteff and Mr. Bur goyne were hit about in all directions, until Dawson had scored 21 ; Royston, 38 ; Golding, 65 ; the Hon. F. Ponsonby, 24 ; and Mr. Morse, 13. A change in the prospects of the St. John's-wood men was, however. accomplished by " putting on" L or d G lamis, ss ho quickly lowered two wickets, and caused a catch from a third. The Hon. F. Ponsonby, as usual, played beauti fully, although he does not appear to have regained the free use of the arm he injured in one of the matches lase summer. This gentleman obtained 24. Royston bree bowled and batted extremely well ; he scored 38 ''' uns, and bowled seven wickets in the first innings feral four out of the six who went in for a second. Dawe on made 21 runs ; Golding, 26 ; and Mr. Mouse, 13. 'On the part of the Marylebone Club, the Hon. R. Grinesston displayed some excellent hitting, and made nine runs ; but Mr. A. Haggarth, who distinguished himself so much last season as one of the Harrow eleven, bore, off the laurels on this side ; he scored in admirable style 26 runs. Sir 'l'. Mon crieff played steadily, and gained 5 and 8. Lord Glareis. was unfortunate ; whilst Mr. Hicks exhibited a vast im provement upon his batting of last season. The Maryle bone scored 81, and the St. John's -wood 215. In their second innings the former had lost six wickets for !Ss runs, when the time was called. The game was ute: lee _ 'stood to be given up. The match for next Mondal e is 11 'of the first half of the alphabet against 11 of the ',est half. THE ROYAL CONSERVATORIES AND KITCHEN GAR DENS,KENSINGTONPALACE.--OnThursday,r4two o'clock, a large quantity o f property, situated on the Itoval Kitchen gardens, adjoining Kensingtote palace, was dis posed of by auction, for the purNse of being cleared away to form the site of the new road, which is to com municate between Bayswater and High-street, Kensing iton. The materials consisted of the Venetian water } toyer, by which the Palace was formerly supplied with es ater, eight large conservatories and hot-houses, in iwhich were some valuable vines, showing a prospect of •an abundant produce, several thousand feet of glazed sliding roof sashes, hot air and steam apparatus to hot houses ; melon frames, garden hand-lights, tSze., with, ' bove a million of bricks. There was an extent of wale f above one thousand feet, the boundary of seer eik i eres of ground, covered with fruit trees, which wilt b e ulled down and the trees removed: There %see s a very umerous attendance of persons connecters, with the uilding trade, and an animated competitifen took place.

EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE BOILER.—Pin Wed. nesday morning last, great alarm was created. ii i the station. yard of the Newcastle and Carlisle Resilway, at Lot,-. don-road, near Carlisle, by the ex''tosion of a boil es , of the Adelaide locomotive engiese. Th e eng i ne lead just arrived in the station yartl., with a train o f eeepty coal waggons, from the tanal basin, and leavinie 'it taken in a supply of eeke, the engine -drive r was a :oout to forward, when terilfic noise was h ear d, and th train became eneeloped i n a d ense c l oud of steam an e whol e , d smoke. On examination, it was found that, owing to some cause net yet precisely ascertained, the u pp er part of the fire-box or the engine had burst, and that with such tremendous force. had the steam rushed forth, that it had lifted the enginet bodily from the rails to a distance of eighteen inches, ands striking the engine-man between the legs and on the low , j r part of the body, had thrown him backwards a distance of several yards; he was found at the bottom of the fourth s ; e a t waggon from the tender.
