The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the whole Profits are divisible amongst the Policy Holders every three years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the Seciety, it may be stated that the additions made to Policies have been at the rate of 2 per cent, per annum on the sum assured and on the vested bonus. Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,0004. effected on the Ist of March, 1832, will, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled to 1,2971.; or, ifeffected on or before the Ist March, 1833, to 1,2751., and so on as regards other Policies. The Accumulated Fund exceeds 260,000/., and the Annual Revenue is above 70,000/., the whole being in a coarse of steady and increas ing prosperity. No other Life Assurance Institution whatever can warrantably hold out greater advantages to parties Assuring than this Society does. Policies effected before the Ist of March participate in a full year's bonus. screw propellers ? Vessels of this construction have many advantages. They afford more space for stores or troops. They are not top-heavy, like those with an enormous weight of iron and copper, requi site for the present unwieldy engines, and, above a ll, the main-sp r i ng o f th e movement is beyond the reach of shot. We rejoice, however, that the su bj ec t i s at last to b e brought before Parliament under the aus pices of Government, and that a pertion of the sur plus revenue is to be laid out in increasing the steam navy estimates. Another portion of the surplus might also dispense with some taxes which are highly ob jectionable, and which produce great inconvenience. The window-tax is one of these. Owing to this ob noxious tax our streets are disfigured; there are blind windows out of number, due ventilation is prevented, and the tax also is most unequitably levied, as the same charge is made for a small window, little larger than a pigeon -hole, and one forty times as large. The amount somewhat exceeds 1,000,0001., but the revenue would not suffer to that extent, as a great deal of more glass and other excisable materials would be used than at present. There is another tax laid on by the late Government which produces little and causes great inconvenience—the additional ten per cent, on the assessed taxes and the ffve‘per cent on almost every thing else. This is a mongrel sort of a tax, added like a codicil to a will when the testator is on the eve of his demise ; and, singular enough, it was laid on by the Whigs when they were in their last struggles. There is one feature in this speech, however, that is extraordinary, highly cheering, be cause it is the omen of better rule, and though it applies neith er t o E ngland nor Scotland, will be viewed by both these countries with real satisfaction. Nearly one-half of the business part of the speech relates to Ireland, and that appears a beautiful ano maly, as compared with other times ; there is not one angry word—nothing about coercion, or nocturnal visits, or branding fire-arms, or restraint of any kind throughout the whole Irish department of this State document. It refers only to beneficial and civilising purposes —to academical education, to the useful em ployment of capital, and consequently the employ. meat of the starving people ; to the prospects of in- i creasing tranquillity and peace ; and to what has been ' long a subject of contention in that country— the relations between landlord and tenant. Here is some scope, at least, for justice, and let us hope it is only the beginning of better days for that neglected and oppressed country. cVe regret, however, to find that Sir ROBERT PEEL is still obstinately resolved to extend his mischievous monetary system to that country; and still more so, that the experiment is also to be extended to Scotland. Why will he interfere with the latter country, contrary to the unanimous wish of the nation ? The system of small notes, Scotch bank ing and Scotch currency has hitherto worked well. Why not let well alone, without raising up a host of enemies, and deranging customs and rules which have conferred the greatest blessings on,our northern neighbours ? There is another part of the speech which many will regard with unfavourable feelings— the continuance of the income-tax. It was generally expected that this obnoxious tax would, according to the understood agreement, last for only three years, while no w th ere i s every prospect that it will be continued as long as money is wanted—that is, till the Greek kalends. On this subject, however, we shall, at present, refrain from any remarks, and wait to see what Sir ROBERT PEEL promises in return. No allusion is made to any alteration in the sliding -scale or the tariff, or the enormous duties on sugar and tea, or the duty on raw cotton—all ques tions of vital importance, and on which possibly he considers it prudent to be silent till he has got the income-tax ratified, and formed a commercial treaty with the Brazilian Government. Lord HARDWICKE and the Earl of MALMESBURT both bore testimony to the existence of agricultural distress. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE attributed the improved state of the public mind in Ireland not to the State trials, but to the decision of their Lordships reversing the judgment which had been delivered at those trials. After a short explanation with regard to our rela tions with France from the Earl of ABERDEEN, Lord CAMPBELL, in consequence of a suggestion from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, gave notice of his intention to bring in a Bill to prevent persons who had appealed against a sentence, from suffering that sentence until the appeal should have been decided on. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated his intention of intro ducing a Bill to amend the Law of Debtor and Creditor which had been passed last session ; and, after a short explanation from Lord BROUGHAM, the address was agreed to. The Duke of WELLINGTON then communicated to the House a letter from Sir C. NAPIER, acknowledging the vote of thanks for his services in Sinde ; and their Lord ships adjourned at Eight o'clock. In the Commons various new writs were moved for, and notices of motion given. Of these the most im portant was a notice of Ski?. PEEL'S, of his intention to make his financial statement on the 14th of February. The address in the Commons was moved by Mr. F. CHARTERIS, and seconded by Mr. T. BARING. Lord JOHN RUSSELL found fault with the conduct of the Government in the Otaheite affair as wanting in promptitude, and as not entitled to praise for wisdom ; and from the occurrences which had taken place last year, he was led to doubt the existence of the good un derstanding between the two Governments of which so much boast bad been made, although he trusted that the harmony now subsisting between the two countries would continue to subsist and ripen into friendship. He regretted that they had received no expla nation on the subject of the right of search, and was not pleased with what he heard as to the appointment of a Commission on the subject. An allusion made by the Noble Lord to the desirableness of taking off some of the restrictive duties on foreign commodities was re ceived with loud cheers, as were his allusions to our in creased commercial relations with China. The Noble Lord then proceeded to dilate at great length upon the impolicy and injustice of the Irish State trials, and urged the Government to bring in a measure on the subject of the challenge to the array, clearly defining the remedy which the subject was to have for the omission of names from the jury panel. He then alluded to the secession of Mr. GLADSTONE from the Ministry, which he attri buted to a difference of opinion on the subject of the measures about to be introduced for the regulation of education in Ireland. His Lordship then alluded to the difficulties which the Ministry experienced in carrying out their educational measures, and which were a just retribution on them for their conduct while in Opposi tion. His Lordship concluded by urging upon the House the necessity of adopting measures giving to the productions of other countries a freer inlet into this country than we at present allow. After a few words from Mr. MILES, Mr. GLADSTONE rose, amid marked silence, to explain the motives which had induced him to resign the omceof President of the Board of Trade : " He had not resigned, as had been supposed in some quarters, on account of any matters connected with that de partment of public affairs of which he was entrusted with the charge. He had not resigned on account of any question, so far as the intentions of the Government were known to him, connected with the Established Church in Ireland. A cause which he was about to name to the House was the sole reason of his resignation ; and again he was driven to advert to himself, and what he had said and done in former years. He had taken it on himself, some years ago, whether wisely or unwisely was not now the question to state Jo the,werlok, which he believed were most conformable to the truth with respect to the relations between a Christian State and the profession of its religion, and the policy with respect to it. Now it will be in the recollection of the House that his Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Government, at the close of last session, declared in general terms the nature of the inquiry he was about to make into the possi bility of extending education in Ireland. He likewise indi cated the spirit in which he would treat that important matter. As he had said before, he was not in possession of more of the intentions of Government. He only referred to them so far as they were known to him, and with regard to what they contemplated with respect to the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth, he knew nothing that might not be fairly and justly inferred from what the Right Hon. Baronet said on that occasion. Those views were, he considered, a great departure from those which he thought the best and most salutary to maintain, in accordance with the institu tions and opinions of the people of this country. Although separated from his colleagues he looked upon them with un changed sentiments of public regard and private attachment.' Sir ROBERT PEEL, after pronouncing a high eulogium upon Mr. GLADSTONE, proceeded to state that it was his intention to propose a measure for giving increased faci lities for academical education in Ireland, open to all classes of her MAJESTY'S subjects in that country, and also to propose a liberal increase of the vete for Maynooth, unaccompanied by any regulations with respect to the doctrines or discipline of the Roman Catholic Church, which could diminish the grace of the grant. The Right Honourable Baro net then went into a lengthened explanation on the subject of the PRITCHARD affair, and justified the conduct of the Government in consenting to the Commis sion on the subject of the right of search, and courted the decision of the House on the conduct of the Govern ment with regard to our foreign relations, and concluded the discussion on the Budget. g a l t l h u e d i f n u g r t t h o e r the n financial on state o f t o h f a t t q h u e e c s o t i u o n n t r t } o , , pb by s b t p r e n fl i yn CHELMSFORD AND BURY RAILWAY, by BRAINTREE, BUCKING, .HALSTE SUDBURY, and LAVENHAM (with projected extensions to Thetford and Mal don).

PROSPECTUS. The Line of Railway now submitted to the Public, rests Its claims for support on the strong general ground of its passing through important districts in Essex and Suffolk, whose interests have been almost entirely neglected in the laying out of the different Railways hitherto executed or projected for the benefit of the Eastern Counties of England, but which possess, nevertheless, population, wealth, and traffic, amply suffi cient to defray the charges of forming a direct railway communica tion through them, and to afford a good return for the capital required for the purpose. Commencing at Chelmsford (at the station of the Eastern Counties Railway), this line will pass close by Braintree, Hocking, Halstead, Sudbury, and Lavenham, to Bury, running, throughout its whole extent, of thirty-nin.e miles, nearly conterminous with the ancient and most frequented highway from the Metropolis into the heart of Suffolk. It will have, for its termini, two important market and assize towns ; and for its principal intermediate stations, places which are the seats of considerable and thriving manufactures. The towns of Bury and Sudbury are the two largest in the county of Suffolk, next to Ipswich ; and Halstead and Braintree, the two largest in Essex, next to Chelmsford and Colchester. The population of the hundreds which will be directly intersected by it amounts to 133,131, and that of numerous places to which it would be more available than any other Railway, to 43,500, making the total population which may be reckoned upon, as necessarily tributary from local vicinage to this line, not less than 176,631. Between the Metropolis and all the places which have been named, as well as between these places themselves, there is a large existing traffic, to which the facilities of the railway system could not fail to give, as in all other cases, a vast extension. The Chelmer and Stour Navigations, through which the districts traversed by this Line now receive their supplies of coal, lime, timber, iron, &c., arid which are also the principal outlets for its agricultural produce, will not only have their own operations greatly facilitated, and their revenues increased by its formation, but contribute consi derably to the income of the Railway. They would be feeders, but in no respects rivals to it. _ _ 61 A, I oorgate-street. WILLIAM COOK, Agent for London. THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE, during the ENSUING SESSION of PARLIAMENT, will spare neither exertion nor expense to sustain and extend the character It has hitherto obtained of furnishing to its readers, and with the greatest minuteness of detail, the EAELIEM and MOST EXCLUSIVE INTELLIGENCE' of POLITIC:AIt and , PUBLIC MOVEMENTS, from its own PECULIAR SOURCES of INFORMATION. The many interesting questions which must shortly occupy the attention of Parliament—as Free Trade, Ireland, the Church, Taxa tion, Tariff Reform, with many others, give great interest, by antici pation, to the doings of the coming Session ; and the importance of a Journal which has proved, not only Its intimate acquaintance with the policy of its own friends but with the intentions of the Govern ment, whose movements it has repeatedly announced in anticipation of the official organs, must be self-evident to all. In other respects, while the " Weekly Chronicle" is of larger size than any one of its Contemporaries, it will be found to be the best Faintly Newspaper extant, as it contains more carefully selected reading, as well in Genera Literature, Fashion, Science, and the Drains, as in News, Politics, and Miscellaneous Intelligence, than any other Weekly Journal.

The Line selected for the Railway is the result of an engineering survey, on which much time and pains have been expended, and will, it is confidently believed, be found to be not only the very best of which the nature of the country admits, but one admirably adapted to meet the wants of its traffic. It will be a Line at once cheaply made and cheaply worked. The gradients are easy, and well balanced ; the earth-work will be less than the average earth-work on railways ; and there will be no constructions of much difficulty or magnitude. The land re quired for the Line will be mostly farm-land, of moderate value, and in no place will it pass through any parks or ornamental grounds. Deducting 40 per cent. from the gross returns for the expense of working the Line (a liberal allowance for a Line of this character), it would leave a net annual revenue of 63,2431., which would be equal to 8 per cent. on the invested Capital. The Paris papers announce two facts, whichleave,na royal ordonnanee, dated the 31 s t u lt., t h e KING has ap pointed Baron DE BILLING to be his Envoy-Extraordinary and Minister-Plenipotentiary to the King of DENMARK, in the room of the Count DE St. PRIEST ; and, by another ordonnance, dated on the Ist inst., M. DE LAM BERT, Sub-Director of the Commercial Department in the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs, is appointed Director of the same department, in the room of M. DROUYN DE LHUYS. The Count DE ST. PRIEST had not only voted, but spoken against the Government, in the Peers ; and M. DROUYN DE LHUYS, not only by his vote in the Lower Chamber, but by his conduct and discourses in his own office, had shown himself the most ardent opponent of the policy and administration of M. GUIZOT. These dismissals, therefore, prove that the " Chateau" will not afford shelter to renegades and enemies of the Govern ment. The Opposition journals, of course, are furious against this act of vigour. According to the Constitytionnel, a general amnesty will be granted by the Spanish Government on the pro mulgation of the new Constitution, which, with a few exceptions, will extend to all Spaniards imprisoned or exiled for political effences.

INGLIS, and Lord HOWICK, the address was agreed to, and the House adjourned at Eleven o'clock. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco after Term.) The Court heard motions this morning in the new trial paper. There was nothing, however, of interest in any of them. The royal speech delivered at the opening of Par liament is generally a document of a very flimsy and equivocal character—adapted partly for show, partly to avoid discussions which may incommode Minis ters, and not unfrequently, also, so worded as to conceal the real measures of importance which are to be brought forward. Perhaps her MAJESTY'S speech of yesterday may be defective in some of these re spects, but, taking it as a whole, it is one of the most business-like speeches that has emanated from the Throne for many years, and if the groundwork which it furnishes be made proper use of by Minis ' ters and the two Houses of Parliament, the present session cannot run the risk of having attached to it the epithet by which its predecessor was peculiarly distinguished. Passing over the complimentary allu sions made to the visits of the Emperor of RUSSIA and the King of the FitEmelt, which of themselves are very proper, and which will meet with public approbation, for one principal reason among others, that they are evidently the cordial expressions of her MAJESTY'S own feelings, we come to the first paragraph on real business, which announces an increase in the esti mates connected with the naval service. This, of course, will cause some excitement among the war party in France, though we are only slowly following the example of the French Government, who, we see by accounts received yesterday, have just forwarded to Cherbourg 140 new pieces of artillery a la PAIL - lIAS, to mount the ramparts of that strong place of defence. It is admitted on all hands that, as regards harbours of refuge and strong naval stations along the coast of the channel, England is sadly deficient, and that the Admiralty have been greatly to blame for not marching with the times, and remaining almost passive, while a new power has sprung up, which will require important changes, both as regards defensive and offensive operations. To this subject we have already adverted when pointing out the necessity for harbours of refuge. But these form only one portion of the system, and unless there is also a sufficient number of war steamers and of a proper construction will be but of little_avail. Steamers with paddle-wheels, as instrumentsofwar, have not yet had a fair trial. In China, and along the coast of Syria, they were found o f vast importance but then it ought to be borne in mind that they were employed against nations little skilled in the art of gunnery, and that the great test is y et to be applied. The result might have been different had England b e en pitched against a nation equal to herself in the art of war, and, above all, in the art of gunnerv. Proper skill might possibly have disabled one-half of them by the destruction of paddle-wheels, before they had done the enemy much mischief. Why, therefore, does not the Admiralty attempt to obviate this defect by building vessels with COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius.) Mr. Justice Erie and a common jury were occupied the whole morning in trying an unimportant action relating to the repairs of a chaise. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the Loan CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. PORTER. This case, which occupied the Court yesterday, was concluded this morning. MS LORDSHIP having summed up, the jury returned a verdict for the Crown, giving 1,1761., as the single value of the goods which had not paid duty. The counsel for the Crown fell into some mistake in the statement yesterday as to the amount of the penalties, which will account for the discrepancy between our report of yesterday and the verdict of the jury.

Unqualified satisfaction has been expressed in commercial circles, this morning, at the announcement of Sir Robert Peel, that he intends, at so early a period as the 14th inst., to give his financial expose. For years and years past, it has been a matter of notoriety and complaint that trade and commerce have been most materially retarded in con sequence of the length of time which has elapsed between the assembling of the Legislature and the announcement of the views of the Government with respect to the tariff, and other matters which may affect directly or indirectly the trade of the country. The general expecta tion is, that the hints given through the " ordinary sources of public information," that a large number of the articles contained in the present tariff should be struck off the roll, will not be lost sight of by Sir Robert Pee!. Indeed, there is not the slightest doubt entertained but that the whole commercial arrangements to be proposed to Parliament are already entirely completed. The other parts of the speech of Sir Robert Peel are held to be favour able in most points of view, aid have been a subject of con versation in almost all circles of the City. The intended interference with the circulation of Ireland and Scotland is not at all unexpected, and whatever differences of opinion may exist upon th e su bj ec t, th ere i s no d ou b t that _ Sir Robert Peel intends to strain every nerve for the purpose of carrying out an assimilation as respects the currency of 1 the United Kingdom. The Dutch Government continues its system of reducipg the interest on Its debt, and Messrs. Raphael and Sons advise us that last Saturday the following letters, representing 14,571,800 guilders of old Five per Cents., were drawn at the Hague, to be paid off :—M, V, K, E, C, H, I, T, R, and B.

TIMES.--The premium on gold at Paris is 121 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 46 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 621, it follows that gold is 0.65 per cent. dearer In Lon don than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 434 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 91 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 1 it follows that gold is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.68 per cent. in favour of England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be added to the above difference. The Queen's Speech produced no effect ;upon the public securities ; they were, however, rather fiat, from an increased demand for money, arising out of sales made to pay the necessary funds into the hands of the Accountant-General in Chancery, to prosecute the several new railway schemes before Parliament. • Not much business has been transacted in the foreign market, but prices continue pretty firm. Colombian in a trifling degree has ad vanced—a strange position of affairs, considering the late refusal of Lord Aberdeen to interfere further respecting the claims of the bond holders. Probably the circumstance of its being a low•-priced security induces some of the more adventurous speculators to purchase at the risk of a rise following the general excitement at present existing for time bargains. The confidence with which many persons in the City have spoken of certain railway lines as likely to receive the sanction of the Board of Trade has created much surprise. If the predictions of these per sons turn out to be correct, it will increase a suspicion already afloat, that information as to the proceedings of the Board occasionally ands its way prematurely into the market. The new Conservative Club-house, erected on the site of the late Thatched-house Tavern, on the west aide of St. James's-street, will be opened , with much ce remony , on Monday next, the 10th inst. Tni PRICE OF BRICKS.—Since the commencement of the year, the price of bricks, at the kiln, has increased almost thirty per cent. A few weeks as.q they were at 365. the thousand, and they are now nearly 465. the thousand. The cause of this increase of price is attributed to the late Building Act, in consequence of which double the quantity of bricks aro now used in the construction of houses to what was required before the passing of the Act. g ittiliikt LONDON, WEDNESDAY; FEBRUARY 5, 1845. The House of Lords, which bad adjourned after the delivery of her MAJESTY'S speech, re-assembled at Half-past Four o'clock, when the Earl of ELLENBO- Rourau took the oaths and his seat. The Marquis of CAMDEN moved, and Lord GLEN LYON seconded the address, which was, as usual, an echo to the speech. The Marquis of NORMANDY then addressed their Lord ships, and, alluding to the state of Ireland, said it was not his intention at present to bring forward that mo- tion on the subject of the general state of the country of which he had given notice last session, because he hoped that the Government would propose mea sures i n relation to the country, to which he could give his assent. At the same time, he warned the Government that those measures, to be satisfactory, must be large and comprehensive. He expressed his approval of the manner in which the Catholic Bequests Act had been carried out. The Noble Marquis also express e d hi s satisfaction at the continuance of peace, and at the results wbich must fellow from the visits of the Em peror of RUSSIA and the King of the FAXNCII to her MAJESTY. The Duke of RICUMOND complained of the omission from the speech of all allusion to the agricultural dis tress of the country. _ _ The Duke of MolrraosE deprecated any interference with the currency of Scotland. Lord WEEARNCLIFFE explained, that with regard to that part of the QUEEN'S speech which spoke o f th e banking system of Scotland, it did not say any change in the currency. _ Lord BROUGHAM, in supporting the address, would not pledge himself to support the continuance of the income-tax. He must know the whole of the financial Plans of the Government before he could give any pledge on that point. He attributed the improved state of Ireland to the State prosecutions. His Lordship then alluded to the beneficial effects which had been pro duced by the visit of the King of the FRENCH, and con cluded by expressing his ardent wishes for a con tinuance of amicable relations between France and England.

The CHAIRMAN then p u t the question , and they were unanim ous l y a upon each cla u s e s e p ara t e l y , greed to, and the meeting separated. The merchants connected with the East Indies are in great consternation at an announcement from Marseilles, by which it appears that the Calcutta mail that left here on the 24th Mt., found no vessel to convey it to Malta. The consequence is, that it will have to wait at Marseilles till the arrival of the Bombay mall, that leaves here on Friday, befire it can be carried on to Malta and Alexandria. When it reaches the latter place, one of two contin gencies may arise—either it will he forwarded to Bombay with the Bombay mail, in which case the original and duplicate letters will both go by the same vessel; or it will be detained there a month for the next Calcutta conveyance, and in that ease the duplicates will precede the originals. Great dissatisfaction is expressed at the over sight which seems to have been committed by the Admiralty in not providing a .vessel to take the Calcutta mail from Marseilles to Malta. All the advantage that was held forth by the announcement M a special mail on the 24th tilt. is completely thrown away.

"We regard the work before us, the ' Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of complaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by a majority of the me dical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know. We must however confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffering from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained In its pages."—Age and Argus. " The authors of the ' Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous etyle in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend to it a careful perusal."—Era.
