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 tkrfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to cult the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full 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 each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on' the amount already invested; and this benne, according to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of name premiums EXAMPLES.

Shubrick, Capt. Ramsay, Col. Murray, of N. Y., Reuben M. Whitney, and others, were preparing their report, which . will be published. The report not only honourably acquits Captain Stockton, and all the officers of the Princeton of the least blame, but deeply sympathises with him and the, afflicted. • It states, on the authority of Lieut. Hunt, that the gun was only loaded with twenty-five pounds of powder, that- it had been fired with forty-nine pounds; and frequently with thirty pounds. The - gun was pro- - perly and carefully 4oaded with the usual ball and wad ding, and fired nearly at a horizontal level, so that the ball could not possibly have rolled away froni the powder. _ . _ The Committee had collected a large number a frag ments of epaulets, of swords, &c., belonging to the de ceased. A piece of iron broken from the cannon, weigh ing a pound or more, was taken from between the clothes and the flesh of Judge Upshur. It was not known whe ther it passed through him or not. And here it is proper to say, that not only was there no post nwrtem examination, but every pains seems to be taken to conceal the injuries which the'dend bodies had sustained. One thing is certainly known, that they were dreadfully, horribly mangled and disfigured—in a way which it would be disgusting and revolting to relate. (From the Madisoniaa.) THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 29, 1844. The Committee met, pursuant to adjournment--=pre sent, all the members except General Jones and General Eaton. The Cub-Committee appointed to, visit the families of the deceased, to ascertain their wishes in regard to the disposition of the bodies on their arrival in the city— having executed the duties confided to them—reported. That in the discharge of their duty, they visited the families of each of the deceased, and ascertained that they were desirous their respective relatives should be brought to their homes; and, at the request of tho Presi dent, that the body of Colonel Gardiner should be taken to the President's mansion. In consequence of which, arrangements were made, that hearses should meet the bodies at the wharf in the city, to convey them to their family residences. The Committee, at the request of Captain Stockton, proceeded to examine witnesses as to the cause of the explosion, and accordingly called upon the officers, whose duty was most immediately connected with the loading of the gun, for such information as they had to give. _ Lieut. Hunt, ordnance officer in charge of the great guns, represents that he lorded the gun himself, with but twenty-five pounds of powder—the usual charge being thirty pounds. Over the powder was placed a single shot, with the usual number of wads. That the persons nearest the gun at the time of the explosion were Captain Stockton, Mr. King, the gunner of the ship, and himself. Lieut. Hunt also states, that this gun has been re peatedly fired with a charge of thirty-five pounds of powder, and once in New York, with a charge 'of forty nine pounds. In the statements of Lieut. Hunt, Mr. King, the gunner of the ship, concurs. Mr. King is a blacksmith by trade, and is of opinion that the gun was indifferently made, of iron of an inferior quality. The Committee, as well from the foregoing testimony as from their own personal observation and examination before and after the accident, have no hesitation in exo nerating Captain Stockton and every officer and man under his command, from the slightest imputation of rashness or carelessness, and are unanimously of opinion that this melancholy event rests upon causes over which they could have no control. The Committee having made the necessary provision for carrying into execution the arrangements of the Sub- Committee appointed to ♦isit the families of the deceased, Resolved—" That a copy of these proceedings, signed by the Chairman and SecretarT, should be transmitted to the President of the United States." On moiion, adjourned sine die. W. BRANFORD StIUBRICK, Chairman. JOHN T. MACLAUGHLIN, Secretary. ARRIVAL OF THE DEAD.—Between twelve and one o'clock to-day, a steam-boat came up from the Princeton having on board the bodies of the dead. At two o'clock five hearses, conveying the remains of Upshur, Gilmer, Kennon, Maxey, and Gardiner, and followed by a long train of carriages, citizens on horseback and on foot, pased in silence along the avenue, and proceeded to the President's mansion. The coffins were taken into the East Room, and laid on frames placed in the centre, arranged according to the rank of the deceased. The President of the United States, who I va.. .ttnost minutes, sur roundgu by the survivors o is liaoMer - ft..4-...., merouS body of citizens, to receive the several Committees, Con gregational and others, appointed to wait upon him, and the report of the Committee of investigation that had remained on board the Princeton after the sad occur rence, and then retired t his private room. The Committee of Congress appointed a Sub-Com mittee to meet a Committee on the part of the Execu tive, at the President's house, at three o'clock, to arrange a programme of the funeral c .remonies. Mr. norm:vs rose and offered the following resolu tions:— " Resolved, that this House has heard with deep sorrow of the dreadful catastrophe which occurred y.es terday on board the United States ship of war Princeton, where many valuable lives were lost, and by which, amongst others, the Hon. Abel P. Upshur, Secretary of the Navy, met a sudden and awful death. " Resolved, that this House Will manifest its respect for the memory of the late distinguished Secretaries cif State and of the Navy, anti its sympathy for their bereaved families, by attending their funeral in a body. " Resolved, As a further mark of respect to the de ; ceased, and to manifest our sense of 'this most melan choly and afflicting dispensation of Divine Providence, that this House will transact no legislative business until after the funeral obsequies of the deceased shall have been performed. " Resolved, That the Members of this House will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty, days. " Resolved, That a Committee of five Members. of this House be appointed to make arran,gements,. with such Committee as may be a pp o i n t e d on the part of the two Houses of Congress at the funeral of the late A. P. Upshur and Thomas W. Gilmer. • Resolved,—That when this House adjourn to-day it will adjourn to meet on Monday next, and that this House do now adjourn." Mr. H. said, that in the state of feeling which pervaded the breast of every gentleman on the floor, he should be pardoned for declining to utter a syllable insupport of the resolutions. The question was then takhe resolutions were adopted nnanimuusly. Messrs. -Hopkins, Adams, J. G. Ingersoll, Barnard, and Cave Johnson were appointed the Committee on the part of this House. And thereupon the House adjourned. SPIRIT of the• PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The announcement made last night by Lord Ashley, in reply to the seemingly preconcerted inquiry of Lord Sandon, cannot fail to produce some disappointment. His Lordship says, " it is not his intention to offer next Friday any opposition to Government in withdrawing their Bill." "'taking this step on the full understanding that Government will introduce another Bill, he intends to take the discussion on that Bill as soon as possible after Easter." This may be wise in the end, for what we know; but it is promising, instead of doing, which for the present is not so satisfactory. His Lordship had a certain 'vantage ground— certain decisions of the House in his favour : he is himself sensible that in taking the present step " he resigns advan tages which he already possesses"—nay, more, he is pledged —hastily, perhaps, but still pledged. " Whatever opinion," he said on Monday, "we maybe called upon to pass next Friday, Ido ntahe to the House a solemn appeal to stand by its decision, and to uphold its recorded verdict. Upon that verdict, upon that decision, I take• my stand, convinced, as I said before, that it is not necessary for me, nor for any other person; to deal with the subject by f ar th er argument." Everybody felt that this declaration was exactly as it should be, and just what the crisis required. The words we have quoted were cheered, and loudly cheered, and cheered again. So, of course, it does let one down a little to hear that the fight not come off on Friday after all—that the position so hardly and so splendidly won is to be surrendered, and the challenge is to be redeemed, not by the performance, but by another chal lenge. We cannot help this feeling. " Hope deferred maketh the heart sick." 'that a ten hours' clause will be carried be fore very long cannot for a moment be doubted. The princi ples on which it depends are not artificial and arbitrary, but broad, simple, and natural. Twelve hours a day, including , seasons of necessary refreshment, is an ordinance of nature which appeals to the common sense of all men, and will only be cavilled at by fools, who don't know what nature is. "Are there not twelve hours in the day ?" " The night cometh, when no man can work." If those who by age and sex are perfectly competent to protect themselves, and know their own strength, and the consequences of what they are doing, choose to work fifteen, or eighteen, or twenty-four hours a day, that is clearly their own look-out. They are not the pupils and wards of the nation not, at least, in the same strong and definite sense as women and minors. But whether a ten hours' clause will be carried this or the next session—whether by Lord Ash ley at all—whether as an act of grace or a concession— whether as a matter of government or of compromise, are questions so very much dependent on individual character and circumstances, that we can only entertain a very strong expectation. We will not allow ourselves to expect any other result of the present discussion than that Lord Ashley will persevere through every obstacle, and the House will this very session do this much-needed, much-canvassed act of justice. It is impossible, however, to forget that among 658 Members of the House of Commons there are some whose votes cannot be accounted for on spy assignable rules of con duct, and a good many more whose votes will sometimes be only too intelligible. The second division last Friday is felt by all to be an incident wholly out of the scope of human caleuhoir ,„ t•oekon on •tha pogo/batty of there - tieing five men in the House of Commons who would vote agaisist both 10 and 12 hours, when they kneu,--.-k ,v would oro r oo , l (kgre. - M hlll vote other alternative, and that the only result or their would be to_bnii. both parti.... % and protract the agitation ? --Again-that a score or two independent country gentlerven should have just enough humanity not to commit themselves unnecessarily to twelve hours a day, but not enough to pre vent them doing so if a Ministenal crisis should render it necessary, was a circumstance which it might be wise to fear, but was not charitable to expect. We are bound to confess that we did fear it Very early we expressed our ap prehension that the scale would be turned against the ten hours' clause by a body of agriculturists, who, little as they liked the manufacturer, had a still greater dread of labour assuming a defensive position. The sympathy between em ployers we felt to be a deeper instinct than the jealousy of rivals. Competition is a powerful law of nature, but not so strong as the law of self-preservation. The progress of the measure thus far might, perhaps, inspire some uneasiness, but for our confidence in its intrinsic merits, and in the sound• ness and stability of the public feeling. Its casualties have been considerable. It was at first substantially carried, after two nights' long debate. Ministers then took four days' delay to recover from their surprise, and do what else they could meanwhile. Both parties came to the second struggle with renewed strength. Government experienced a second defeat on their own clause, qualified, however, as they pro bably felt it, by Lord Ashley suffering a defeat on his. A second delay, from Friday to Monday, could not be avoided. The Minister then came and asked for a third delay—ane ther four days—after which, L e., on next Friday (to-morrow), he proposed to move that the House should discharge the order of the day for going into Committee on the Bill, thus virtually rescinding all its decisions, including the two against the twelve hours' clause. To ask so long a delay was scarcely modest ; to ask. it for such a purpose—to ask that he might be allowed sufficient time to compel the House to rescind two recent solemn decisions—implied a contrary of modesty which we will not venture to name. But the request was granted, and to-morrow the House is to be called on to suffer this indignity. But all these delays are nothing compared with the indefinite gulf which now seems to yawn between us and our expectations. Lord Ashley, "considering it lais duty, whenever he can with out any, concession of principle, to consult the interest and convenience of the House and the Go vernment," will alloiv the House to suffer the above in dignity, and Government to have its way, to-morrow. But he promises to fight his ten-hours' clause into the new Bill as soon as possible after Easter So we have nothing to do now but to sit down and compute the value of a Par- liamentary and Anti-Ministerial " - as-soon-as-possible." If the 10 hours' clause is, even then, to be carried without any further vexatious or injurious delay, it is evident that it must be put on a better footing than at present. Every one ought to know whether the Government Bill is what is commonly understood by a Government Bill—a Bill which Government will carry at all risks, and with their whole official weight and influence ; and it is due from Lord Ashley to his sup porters, due to the country, due to truth, and justice, and humanity, to let people know whether he considers a Ten Hours' Bill more important than the existence of the present Ministry. We will frankly own, that considerable as are the personal merits of some members of the Cabinet, and dif ficult as it might be to suggest their successors, we do not think they have any craim to be put in competition with principle. They are hardly commensurable with principle ; so one really cannot strike a balance between them. We can only say, as we hope Lord Ashley is ready to say, stick to the principle of justice and humanity, and let the Ministry take its course. If it thinks fit to follow in the wake, well ;if not, it must go to the bottom, we suppose. At least, we cannot help it. If the Bill is worth anything, it is worth carrying against the Ministry; but it is quite evi dent it cannot be carried against the Ministry, if Lori Ash ley does not immediately make his election between it and the Ministry. Such a decision may be painful, but a moment's comparison of the division lists of last Friday and the previous Monday—a moment's recollection of what passed in the House last Monday, will show its necessity. If the measure had been on that footing which its importance re quited, Sir James Graham would not have been allowed to gain a, fresh delay from Monday to Friday, when he had made so much use of the like interval in the previous week ; much less would he now be allowed to throw the question over the recess into the summer months. He asked for de- lay, with scarce the shadow of a pretence for it. He asked for leave to threw away the present Bill, in order to bring in a new one, comprehending the amendments already passed by the House, and some others, but leaving the hours of labour as they now are, with the frank announcement, that as the Ministry had already resisted, so would they continue to resist, any departure from the principle of twelve hours' labour. He carefully and strenuously forbad all expectation of the Ministry ever giving up this principle to a majority of the House. He admitted also, that in making the above re quest it might be considered he was taking the House by surprise. Lord Ashley confessed that he had cer tainly been taken by surprise, and so far, that neither he nor the House had been treated very cour teously. He also expressed his own determination to stand by the ten hours' clause, and his belief that nothing really remained to be done which required delay. "The question," he said, "has already been fully discussed. Every body has made up his mind on it, and not only has the dis cussion been ample, but, let me emphatically remark, the whole matter has been niost solemnly decided. This great assembly, in their successive divisions, has affirmed the principle, that twelve hours' labour is not to be endured." If so, then why allow the very same question to be brought on again with an indefinite further delay ? Was it captious, was it unfriendly, was it unaccommodating to refuse ? What pledges had thilhome Secretary given that so great an ac commodation would not ho abused that he would not strain every nerve in the Interval to leave Lord Ashley in a decisive minority? None whatever. He kept his ground. He dealt as with an enemy. He asked a truce on the specu lation that the foe might perhaps be simple enough to con cede it, but did not commit himself in return. He made no stipulation, and could not. Lord Ashley must view the question as his antagonist does, unless he would make both himself and his cause ridiculous. He must make no terms, and press for a division when there is no reason whatever for clelap_Wo ring ? let it be_10494 4 IA 45 A biolisterig clued_ vt( -1. , tion. ' Ministers make it one. Can there be a question mor important and more worthy to divide the House? A present there is no rallying point in the House—no one re spectable standard to assemble round. Why not gather into one all those who are not ashamed of the principle of pro tecting the labourei ? • POST.—In the course which they have adopted in refer ence to their Factories Bill, Sir,James Graham and -his col leagues desire to be regarded as • especially the champions of the sacred 'rights of propetty. Yet never did men seek to place the rights of property in more imminent 'perils • than Ministers have done in describing these rights as incompati ble with the protection of the poor from oppressidn. Inse cure, indeed, would be the institution of property, if it rested, as Sir James Graham maintains it does, on the continuance to the .millowners of the privilege of working women • and children to death. Yes, if we may, credit the Conservative Home Secretary, every man who would rescue poor factory women from an unnatural amount of daily toil favours " Jack Cade principles of legislation "—legislation, that is to say, against the rights of capital. And this dictum of Sir James Graham is quietly adopted by the First Lord of the Treasury. It is edifying, by the way, to note the denun ciation which the V leaders of the House of Commons presume to level against " the principles of Jack Cade." Of the "principles" professed by the real Jack Cade, it may not be unimportant to observe that nothing certain is known. It is known, however, that Jack Cade was a bold and straight forward fellow, and that the materials on which he worked were supplied by the actual sufferings 'bf the people. Bold ness and straightforwardness are not, on the other hand, in variably the characteristics of political leaders in our times; while to the sufferings of the labouring poor all•the political leaders of these days agree in approving themselves most phi losophically indifferent. Let us, however, attach to the name of Cade the ordinary associations which that 'name Calls up. Let us understand by " Jack Cade principles," principles that are revolutionary, and opposed to the influence of property. These things being premised, let us consider the special pro priety with which denunciations of such principles, drop from the lips of the leaders in the House of Commons. The House of Commons has been, in virtue 'of its constitution since the year 1688, a giant Jack Cade. Since that memor able period, the most valuabls forms of property have, in truth, been stripped of all securityby the direct agency of the House of Commons. Was Cade a revolutionist? The constitution of the House of Commons is the spawn of revo lution. Did Jack Cade propose to confiscate the possessions of the rich ? Since 1688, the House of Commons has been chiefly occupied in pillaging the poor. In 1688 the House of Commons robbed the Crown of all the prerogatives of sove reignty. Subsequently the House of Commons robbed the Crown of 'its possessions in land. Before :the year 1688 all the wealth of England owed allegiance to the soil—in other words, to the poor of England. In 1689 a new system of taxa tion was devised. Burdens, previously unheard 'of, were 'thrown on the land, and capital attracted by con sequence to new fields of investment—fields of in vestment over which the mortgage which the la bourers of England possess over all the agricultural capital of England was not extended by the House of Commons. Our modern manufacturing system is the direct consequence of those systems oftaxation and finance to which the Revolu tion of 1688 gave birth • and our modern manufacturing system rests on the exclusive and pernicious privileges with which it invests capitalists. Our old agricultural policy pro posed the well-being of the labouring classes as one of its great ends. In the extension of agricultural enterprise, the labouring classes have the deepest interest. In all capital devoted to the cultivation of the soil, ourlabourers are in vested with a certain right of property. From all right of property in capital devoted to manufactures: and to trade, our labourers have, on the other hand—except to the most insignificant extent—been excluded. Our modem ma nufacturing and trading systems have, in melancholy truth, rendered the abasement of the order of labourers the most direct mode of adding to the productiveness of capital. The reward of the unskilled English labourer at the present day is far less than it was before the Revolution of 1688. Since that period, it has been the policy of the House of Commons to pander to the avarice of capitalists—and, by consequence, to rob the labourer of the value of his honest toil. In 1819 the House of Commons proved its undying fidelity to " Jack Cade principles of legislation." By the money law of 1819 the :House of Commons has confiscated one-half of the productively-employed capital of the empire—and has, by consequence, more than doubled the dependence of all orders of labourers. on usurers and on idle consumers. In 1834 our legislative Jack Cades were again at work after a gigantic fashion. By the poor-law of 1834 the House of Commons robbed the labourers of England of the most precious of their birthrights. By the poor-law of 1834 the House of Commons threw the labourer " on his own re sources"—cut off from him, in other words, those resources drawn from the general wealth, which the wisdom of our forefathers placed at his disposal; and placed him, as far as its influence extended, absolutely at the mercy of his em ployer. In 1842, we once more find the House of Commons at its congenial task of giving effect to " the principles of Jack Cade;" and foremost among the " disciples" (to bor row Sir Robert Peel's phrase) of that great philosopher, were found Sir James Graham and his Conservative allies. The free-trade measures of the last two years have, already, robbed the agricultural labourer of one-third of his previous wages. So effective have been " the principles of Jack Cade," when administered by pupils so zealous as the Home Secretary. The real enemies of the rights of pro pertyare the ktrislators how exhibit no respect towards the of Lord Ashley s motion. Labour, as tne economists proclaim - (without, apparently, understanding the meaning of their own proposition), is the source of all wealth. 'But free traders of all sorts—her Majesty's Ministers included—have yet to learn, that of all the forms of property the most sacred in the eyes of the Legislature ought to be, the wages of labour. This fund, however, is considered by all modem " philoso phers" precious only in so far as it may be converted into a field of plunder. ADVERTISER.—There is an ignorant and mischievous consistency in the conduct of the House of Commons, so far as relates to its dealings with the working classes. It first enacts the corn-laws, by means of which they are reduced to one of two alternatives—either they must work long hours, to be able to obtain a sufficiency of food to keep body and soul together; or, failing to go through an amount of toil almost too much for the human frame, they must submit to undergo the appalling process of death by starvation. In all branches of laborious industry, but in the factories espe cially, the operatives of England preferred the former alter native. They are willing to work from morn to eve, even should the eventual consequence of their intolerable toil be the sacrifice of their lives, rather than that they and their' families should be deprived of their necessary food. But our sapient Legislators, suddenly seized with an uncontrolable fit of" humanity," interpose between them and their employers, and prohibit women and young• persons from working more than a given number of hours each day—a number insuffi cient to enable them to procure an adequate supply of the necessaries of life. In all this, it must be confessed, there is a cruel consistency. First, the stern ne cessity of toiling . for twelve long hours for their daily bread, is imposed upon them by the enact ment of the corn-laws; and then Parliament interferes, and tells the wretched victims of its heartless agitation, that they shall not work twelve hours—in other words, that they shall not work a sufficient length of time to procure the means of subsistence. Why should the adherents of the Ashley sys tem stop at this point ? Why not fully carry out their prin ciples? Why not give a further practical exposition of their horror of factory labour, by abolishing it altogether? The noise of factory machinery grates on their ears ; why not hush it to silence the unmusical sound, by stopping the mills ? "Tall chimneys" are odious in their eyes; why not level them with the dust? The same principle which justifies their interference with factory labour in any way, would equally justify their extinguishing the factory system alto gether. The most provoking part of the business is, that this mischievous meddling with matters which ought to be left to the adjustment of the employers and employed, is justified on the plea of humanity ! ' Humanity!'" Hum bug! cant! There may be, it is true, a few individuals among those who support the Ashley amendment, who are solely influenced by what appear to them humane considera tions. But these honest, though mistaken philanthropists, constitute a small minority of those who have identified themselves with the Noble Lord in his crusade against the manufacturers. It were invidious to mention names, but let any one look over the lists of those who voted in the affirma tive, and then say whether all, or even a majority of those whose names grace these lists, ever before in any way distinguished themselves for their humanity. Some scores of their number must not be a little surprised that they are now ranked among the philanthropists of the age. How easy, with a little management, it is to obtain a reputation for humanity ! " Oh, liberty 1" exclaimed Madame Roland when on her way to the scaffold, " what crimes have been committed in thy name !" " Oh, humanity what atrocities have been perpe trated in thy name !" What could be more cruel, what more heartless, than to snatch from the hand of the half famishing factory mother or child the crust of bread by which alone body and soul were to be kept together? And to do it, too, in the name of humanity ! Who does not turn away with loathing and disgust from such a bastard humanity as this? The hypocrisy of those who, under the pretext of com passion for the women and young persons who work in the factories, would deprive them of their necessary food, by abridging their hours of labour, was last night effectively exposed at the!League meeting at Covent-garden Theatre. Mr. Gisborne showed that the factory question is essentially a corn-law question, and that hostility to the League is veiled under large professions of humanity to the factory females. If the county members who voted with Lord Ashley were sincere in their protestations of friendship for the factory ope ratives ; if their real object wore to shorten theii hours of labour, they would vote for the repeal of the corn-laws. The enactment of these laws, and that alone, has imposed on these unfortunate persons the dire necessity of working long hours in order that they may procure an adequate supply of food. Abolish these laws, and the conse quent reduction in the price of bread, and the increased value of their labour, will at once relieve them from the necessity ofworking twelve hours per day. How happens it, people begin to ask, that the agricultural philanthropists, who heave so many sighs and shed so many tears for those whose destiny it is to labour in the factories, have no bowels of compassion for the miserable men and women who labour in the rural districts? The labourers in Dorsetshire and other comities are incomparably worse off than the opera tives in the factories. It has been proved within the last few weeks, that whole families are living, or rather vegetating, in many rural districts, on seven shillings a week. Their social condition is represented, and the accuracy of the representa tion has not been denied, as being the most wretched that the mind of man could picture to itself. To sink lower in the depths of misery would, we are assured, be impos sible, And yet those Noble Lords and Honourable Gentlemen who so profoundly sympathise with, and sorrow for the overworked inmates of factories, never whisper a word of pity for the oppressed and starving labourers in the counties, into whose condition they oven refuse to inquire. How is this? Can that be real hu manity which reserves all its sympathies for a'particular class of sufferers, while others, much more miserable, and conse quently more deserving of compassion and relief, are to be found much nearer home ? That is a questionable humanity which singles out objects for its exercise at a distance, while incomparably greater wretchedness is to be found at one's own door. Humanity, like charity, ought to begin at home. Before the soi disant philanthropists of the counties undertake the task of applying legislative remedies to the evils which Mist in the factories, let them try their hands at alleviating the wretchednes* which exists in their own district*.

What they sought to do was to -wreak their vengeance on the manufacturers. Their conduct is a piece • of arrant hypocrisy. And their folly is as great as ;heir hypocrisy. An instance of more transcendant idiotism was never witnessed. Their conduct is suicidal. They have con structed a wall against which to dash out their own brains. They have irreparably damaged the Government, -which could alone protect them. They have given the Cabinet of Sir Robert Peel a blow under. which it already staggers to its fall, And when once fairly down, need we say what will follow ? Beyond all question the immediate and entire de struction of the corn monopoly. What then will the landed philanthropists take by their recent motion ? What by their hollow professions of humanity in supporting the amendment of Lori Ashley ? These ar e q ues tio ns which we laaVe them to answer at their leisure.. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. • CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—A specimen has been shown in the City of the convenient and economical mannet in which quicksilver Is imported from China. It is poured into a piece of bamboo, about a foot long, and three inches thick, and each end is closed with rosin. This rude form of package is found quite as serviceable as the iron-bottle in which the metal is usually brought. The price paid for part of this recent importation is quoted in the Daily Commercial List as 4s. 6d. per pound, and it is thought likely to come in competition with our supplies from Spain. . By the official returns published by the Customs, the ex ports of the precious metals to foreign and colonial parts for the week ending Thursday last, was as under, viz.:— Ounces. 26,000 6,000 918 32,000 14,800 13,500 Silver coin to Rotterdam Silver coin to Belgium Silver coin to New York Silver bars to Hamburgh Silver bars to Hamburgh ..Silver bars to Rotterdam , Gold coin to New York Gold coin to Port Philip X 490 SUN.—Consols closed exactly the same as yesterday evening, viz., 981 to "Exchequer Bills were 6Ss. to 70s. prem. ; and there was no alteration in any of the other English securities.

THE LATE CALAMITY AT WASHINGTON. (Correspondence of the New York Herald.) From the multitude of accounts which must have reached you since I,wrote to you last evening, you will have obtained the leading particulars in addition to those I sent, of the awful' catastrophe which has literally plunged a nation in grief and agony. All the usual forms of language utterly fail in conveying any ade quate conception of this horrible calamity. I think there was very little, if any, sound sleep in this. city last night. Multitudes of eyes were never closed in sleep at all ; others were filled with tears from night till morn, but it was most painful to add, that not a few eyes could shed no tears. Among these last was Mrs. Gilmer — poor, distracted woman—who eyes, as Mr. Wise said, were "arid as ashes." Many, many stout hearts have broken and melted now which never softened before. Think of those bereft—and so terribly bereft! All, I think, who were killed had large families to deplore their untimely end. Had they died a natural death, in the ordinary course of Providence, their loss would have been painfully dis• treising. But to be so taken from time to eternity ! Who can, unmoved, contemplate the fact! " Tell me," said Commodore Kenyon's wife, " Oh tell me if he is dead! don't deceive me! ' Mr. Holmes, M.C., from S. C., ig norant of his death, and in the kindness of his heart, assured her that he was not dead, but safe. Still she was not content. Mr. Holmes pledged her his honour that he was not dead. This was overheard by Mr. Sykes, M.C., from New Jersey, who beckoned him away from the frantic woman to assure him that he was mistaken — that the Commodore was dead. The reports of the frenzied remarks of Mrs. Gilmer, are mainly true. Senator Hannegan describes her as wandering in her mind—" No, no—he is not dead!— He cannot be dead. Re was with me but a moment ago! Bring me my husband!—where is he? Dead! Yes, he is dead!" and then, with a vacant smile of incredulity, again denying the evidence. " Oh, that she could weep!" said her surrounding friends, but she wept not. A few minutes before the fatal explosion, toasts were drank at the table. Judge Upshur was called on for his toast. In attempting to comply he took accidentally an empty bottle, and pleasantly remarked that the dead bodies (alluding to the empty bottles) - must be cleared away before he could give his toast. Accidentally an other empty bottle was pushed within his reach—and he again repeated the joke, which was seized upon with applause, that the dead must be taken away. This drer from Captain Stockton the reply that there were pleWty of living (meaning bottles) to supply the place of the dead. At the same time the President gave the toast— .' The Princeton and her three guns—the Peace-maker, the Oregon, and Captain Stockton—but the greatest of them is Captain Stookton." These leading gentlemen then withdrew from the convivial table to make room for others—and, within ten minutes, Judge Upshur himself was a lifeless " body." It is a most remarkable circumstance that song and wine should have been, as they undoubtedly were, the means of saving, no one knows how many lives. For, in the hilarity of the occasion, and when the captain and others withdrew to attend the firing of the "Peace maker" the third time (and at the request of Secretary Gilmer), Mr. Waller, the President's son-in-law, com menced singing a song, by general request. This de tained the party, for the most part, below, to the pre servation of many lives. I have been on board the Princeton this morning, and have learned that it is hoped" the wounded subordinates will all recover. They are all removed to the Navy Yard, with the exception of the gunner and officers. gentlemen,. l en ry A. Th o e th H e o r nWise ,went ent d Robertown this Tyler, a morning, n and o nume rous meet the committee appointed by the President, to make a formal investigation into the matter, and prepare for the funeral. • On arriving at the Princeton, we found that co ffi ns for all the OA were Already ou I;eard, and Omni of the SENATE. WASHINGTON, Feb. 29, 1813.—As soon as the journal was read a Message was announced from the President of the United States. The Message having been read-- Mr. Rives rose and addressed the Senate as follows: "Mr. President,—The general feeling of the Senate has, I am sure, already anticipated me in what I have risen to suggest. The awful calamity communicated to us in the message of the President just read, and which has made of yesterday, with all its earthly brightness, one of the darkest and most inauspicious days in our national calendar, is but too well known to the Senate in all its dreadful details and heart-rending results. Surely, Mr. President, never, in the mysterious ordi nances of God, has a day on earth been -marked in its progress by such startling and astounding con trasts—opening and advancing with hilarity and joy, mutual congratulation and patriotic pride, and closing in scenes of death and disaster, of lamen tation and unutterable woe. It was my sad fortune, Mr. President, to be an eye-witness to these never-to-be-for- gotten events. If I had language to describe them, the power of speech would fail me. I have risen in the midst of the universal sadness and dejection of heart which pre vail around me, and under the oyerpoivering weight of my own feelings, to suggest the propriety of suspending our ordinary labours and pursuits, in the presence and under the chastisement of this awful visitation - of Provi dence. It has fallen to the lot of my own State to be the chief mourner on this melancholy occasion. Two of her distinguished citizens, filling high places in the civil gov ernment of the country, have been cut down in the midst of their days and their usefulness; and another of her sons a gallant officer of the navy, has been destined to fall, by disastrous accident, on a deck which, under other cir cumstances; he might have illustrated by his valour. But, in so overwhelming a calamity, which stands al most without a parallel in the records of human mis fortune; all bear their equal and sympathising share. Surrounded, as we are, on every hand, by the desolate wailing of the widow and the helpless cry of the orphan, none of us can be in a state of mind to discharge, with intelligence and composure, the duties which belong to us here. Let us then, Mr. President, bowing in all humility of spirit beneath this stroke of an all-wise and. mysterious Providence, discard from our minds, for a season, the cares and excitements of our daily duties in this hull. Let us lay to heart the monitory lessons so impressively read to us in the events of yesterday, that in the midst of life we are in death.' With this lesson engraven on our hearts, let us keep constantly in view the eternal as well as temporal responsibilities under which all the duties of both public and private life are to be performed. Let the deep sense of common calamity and mutual affliction unite us more closely by the ties of brotherhood and affection. Let us ' put away from us all bitterness and wrath, and evil speaking ;' and when we come together again,. under these chastening influences, we shall all feel, I trust, how much better patriots we are for being better Christians." Mr. R. concluded by submitting the following resolu tions : " Resolved, That the Senate is impressed with a pro found sense of the awful calamity which yesterday oc curred on board of the Princeton, by the explosion of a gun, involving the loss of many valuable lives, and among them of the Secretary of State and Secretary of the Navy. " Resolved, That the Senate will attend in a body the obsequies of the deceased members of the Cabinet, and a Committee of five be 'appointed to make arrangements withssuch Committee as may be appointed on the part of the House of Representatives for the funeral. Resolved, That the Members of the Senate will go into mourning, by wearing crape on the left arm for thirty days. " Resolved, That • a copy of the foregoing 'resolutions be transmitted to the President of the United States. " Resolved, That, in consideration of the afflictive dispensation, the Senate do now adjourn to Monday next." The resolutions having been read, a message was re ceived from the House of Representatives, announcing the action of,that body touching this awful' calamity. The message was read and concurred in.. The resolutions submitted by Mr. Rives were unani mously agreed to, and the following Senators were ap pointed a Committee of arrangement on the part of the Senate to act in conjunction with the Committee on the part of the House of Representatives, viz.—Messrs. Rives, Archer, King, Woodbury, and Bayard. The Senate, then, in accordance with its previous action, adjourned till Monday nett, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Immediately after reading the journal of yesterday— A message in writing , was received from the President of the United States by the hands of John Tyler, jun., Esq., his Private Secretary, announcing the melancholy event which happened yesterday on board the steam-ship pfliceton. ke meiSttge haying beVn Fe4Sl—" DEFERRED, ANWIIIVIBS.

We • have only time to state that the line run over was selected about two miles and a half from Northampton, starting in a field close to the village of Woot ton, proceeding two miles out and in, and finishing in the starting field. With the exception of a most awkward jump out of the first field, and a brook with rotten banks in the tliird, the fences were fair hunting ones, nothing, in short, that would stop a good horse and a willing rider.

The heavy weight race was the first on the card, and came off a little after 3 o'clock, as follows : _ A Sweepstakes of 10 sous. each, h. ft., for horses belonging to, and to be ridden by, officers on full pay of the army, 12st each.

The famous Petition Crown, the work of that inimi• table artist, the celebrated Thomas Simon, and so highly prized by collectors, having on the edge " Liman 's Petition to his Majesty King Charles the Second," in double lines, was yesterday purchased by Sir George Chetwynd, Bart., for the sum of 70L, and added to the Grendon Hall collection. Sir George also purchased an impression of the same Crown, but having an edge, instead of the peti tion, inscribed " Reddite gum Ctesaris Clesari, &c.," and the sun in a cloud. _ _ _ Both these coins are of excessive rarity and in the highest state of preservation. A double sovereign of Edward the Sixth, was knocked down to Mr. Cuff, for the sum of 40/. Queen Mary's Royal was purchased by Mr. Cureton, for 20/. Oliver Cromwell's pattern for a two shilling piece, date 1656, beautifully preserved and in the finest state possible, was purchased (after a warm contest) by George Sackville Ball, Esq., for 171. Of Simon's Petition Crowns, only fourteen are known to exist, and that sold yesterday is decidedly one of the finest and most perfect. The identical - crown presented by Simon to Charles the Second, was given by his Majesty to Lord Chan cellor Clarendon, and is now in the matchless collection. of Colonel Durrant, in Wimpole, which is one of the most superb and valuable in existence.
