THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound• by their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that It was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been to render Life *Policies COMPLETE SECURI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOC C3LENTS, _which shall owe their Valne`to the certainty of the contracts upon•which they are founded, and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims arise; and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly _deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. 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 coin promises, are thus entirely abrogated; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this Company. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also aguarantee 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 do 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 prollts 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- card to complete security will pern TRIENNIAL ASCENDING SCALE TO ASSURE 4100.

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 be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if death should occur in the first year, the stun of 5001. would be paid less the Si. retained. The assured may thus have the use fbr 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, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payable by the Company.

DERLDT, FEB. 26.—The usual weekly meeting of the Re peal Association was held thirday at the Conciliation Hall. JOHN O'CoNNELL, Esq., ~ took the Chair. The Hon. Gentleman, on taking the Chair, observed that deep as were his feelings of thankfulness to the meeting for the reception which they had given him that day, there was a feeling still stronger, still more engrossing, in his breast—a feeling of gratitude, deep and unfeigned gratitude, to the English people for the generous sympathy extended to him and the other Irish Members on their appearance in the House of Commons.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He acknowledged he was unprepared for such a reception, and hN father was also. unprepared for such a manifestation of genuine English feeling. Until he entered the House‘of Commons, he was totally tinware of the extent of indigna tion which the proceedings of the, Government had , generated • in the hearts of the English keeple. The organs of the Tory party had endeavoured, by raking up ancient prejudice, to create and dissension a n n g d lis t h he effort signally f a il e d. Th e people, were strikingly. between the two countries; but the national generosity: and love of fair play , which were among the noblest displayedcharacteristics o n th e occasion; c th i e o Hon. Gentleman then gaye a feeling account of the enthu siastic reception given to his father at the meeting of the Anti-corn-law League, and assured the meeting lie had then the honour of addressing, that it delighted him chiefly be cause he regarded it as a foretaste of the affectionate Byrn.. pathy which had subsisted between the two countries—when justice had been done to Ireland, when Ireland should have her Parliament again, and be in a position to prove her sin cere attachment to the best interests of the empire.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman then took a rapid review of the late debate, in the course of which he observed that the only per son who had reason to complain of the course it took was the Chief Justice, whose name was entirely omitted by those whom the Government supporters praised for liberality, in tegrity, and fairness. What was meant by the omission was not for him to say, nor would it, perhaps, be quite safe for him to say what he thought. From the result of the debate he could hold out no hope to the people of Ire land. Indeed, it had only confirmed him in his belief that they had no hope of obtaining justice at the hands of the Imperial Parliament, and that on themselves and their own exertions the people of Ireland must rely. The Hon. Gentleman proceeded at considerable length to de monstrate the necessity of local Government, and concluded e re ill a e cl et t i h il e g m fo i r nute s of last day's proceed the y l a li g e a again Secretary thanking th e t the they had given him. the enthusiastic reception ings and correspondence of the week, among which was the following letter from Mr. O'Connell : " London, Feb. 24, 1844. My dear Ray,—l am not a little proud at being able to congratulate the Association on one circu m sta n ce of no 3n141 magnitude—l mean the generous sympathy exhibited by the English people towards the friends, and for the sufferings of the Irish. I have constant manifestations of this kindly and generous spirit, but the meeting at'Covent-garden, on Wed -nesday, produced a scene :never Licceeded, and I do believe never equalled in any Country. ; This is a spirit to be che rished, as well as admired for its noble generosity. lam sure the ASSociation will - reciprocate these most- 'addable and honourable feelings, and that the Irish Nation will show that Irish gratittqle will at least equal English. generosity. We. must cultivate these kindly scntiinents at, both 'sides. ." The melancholy reflection, however, follows, • that it is quite useless ; for the wise and the good in Great Britain desire, as they do, . cordially and sincerely, that justice should be done to Ireland. Alas, power has passed from the -wise and the good, - and is vested . in ; the selfish and the bigoted. The monopolists and the bigots have - got . pos session of Parliamentary power—class legislation provails. - The spirit-of-reform is extinct, or lives in. little more than isolated individuals. The unhappygenius of Chartism is •still sufliciently strong to delude some of tlie - operative classes—of those to whom increased reform would give in treaseifpowerlo alleviate their hard condition, and improve the social state. _ _ _ . . . " Under these circumstances, every reasonable and just Irislintan must see that there it - nothing for Ireland save in and by the restoration of our own Parliament: There is not the least reason for any kind of despondency ; on the con trary, it appears to me to be as clear at the noon-day sun, that the repeal must succeed, if the Irish people observe two essential conditions of success. " The first is, the strict observance. of the 'peace—the total absence of riot; tumult,: outbreak; or force. In short, to con tinue peaceable under every circumstance, and in every event. "Secondly,—To continue perseveringly and unremittingly the Repeal. agitation; to'continuu that agitation in strictly legal channels, 'and in no other. :To abandon and avoid any r-course- that ; may be .declared-r-however.wirgfUlly—illegal,. and to continue to modeleverY public body into such a shape as shall set every proiecution at defiance. - In short, to con tinue constitutional and legal agitation, so,long as one shred of the Constitution remains. . _ • " Peace and perseverance is our motto. • Perseverance and peace are the Shibboleth to our success. Before peace and perseverance present difficulties will vanish, and by them Ireland will be restored to national dignity and prosperity. "Ever yours faithfully, " M. Ray, Esq." . , ffbANIEL VCONNELL." Several sums of money were then handed in, among which was 2001. from New Brunswick ' • 13/. from Waterbury ; America ; 22/. from Watertown, America ; and 71. from Ariel, America. • Mr. O'Down then moved , that the letters enclosing the American remittances should be inserted on the American book, after which; Mr. SMITH O'BRIEs, M.P., rose, and addressed the meet ing at considerable length. He commenced by observing that the 'collective wisdom of the empire had solemnly de- Cided, by a large majority, against taking the-grievances of Ireland into consideration. , It was clearly shown that the Imperial Parliament required, not information as to the state of Ireland, Nit the spirit to right the wrongs of the country. Should they therefore despair?—(Cries of " No, no.") No! they had learned the secret by which the regeneration of Ireland could be accomplished, and that was by relying on themselves, and on themselves alone.—(Hear, and cheers.) ,Mr. - STEELE . next addressed the meeting, and contended that it was the duty of the Irish people to reciprocate the kindly feeling- manifested towards them by, the people of England, and concluded by giving notice of his intention to bring theiubject Of the Protestant oath before the Associa tion at the next day of meeting. Mr. Pigot, Mr. Shell, and several other Irish Members, ar rived at Kingstown this morning, from London. NATIONAL tOMPLETE SUF FRAGE UNION. The Council of the National - Complete 'Suffrage Union held the quarterly meeting in the Public-office, Birmingham, on Monday last. The Court-room was crowded by a most at tentive and respectable audience. Joseph Sturge, Esq., Pre sident, in the chair. . • As it was arranged that the deputation appointed to wait on the Members for - the borough in London, and present them with memorials from the electors and non-electors of Birmingham, requesting them to support Mr. Crawford's proposal and the petition to Parliament on the seine subject, should be present, Mr. STURGE read a letter from Mr. Scholefield on that subject. Mr. Scholefield stated that he had presented the petition and read the principal part of it to the House, and that they would not be surprised to hear that "it was re ceived with the indifference usually manifested on such occa sions ;" with regard to the Supply movement,:Mr. Schole field said, " I shall never shrink from recording my vote at every fitting opportunity against the granting supplies whilst our heavy national grievances remain unredressed."—(Ap plause.) Mr. Sturge then said—Perhaps the best way in which he could show the advantage of the Supply movement as a means of forcing discussion within tie House of Com mons, would be to contrast the difficulties with which Wm. Sharman Crawford had to contend in his endeavours to introduce the subject of complete suffrage last year, with the ease and freedom with which he had been enabled to intro duce it already during the present session. —(Hear.) Last year, after labouring three or four months to bring on two substantive motions, and, after all, getting but a very tame discussion on them, this year two amendments on the supply principle of action had been discussed, and on both occasions interesting and important speeches had been made.—(Hear, hear.) They had, every reason to be encouraged by the re ception which had been given to the amendments affirming the principle that the redress of grievances should preeede the voting of supplies. 31 Members of the House voted for the first, and 24 for the second amendment, and the earnestness and sincerity which evidently characterised the debate were very remarkable. The numbers who voted for the principle were small, but when he told them that Mr. Sharman Craw ford, on the morning' of the day when Parliament was open ed, did not know of one man who was prepared at all risks to support his proposed amendment on the address, they would be surprised to find that so man y had voted with him that night.— (Great applause.) A few were prepared to go with him on the first motion of supply, but even those few had doubts as to the policy on moving at once on the address in answer to the Speech from the Throne. By. the firmness and decision of the friends of the movement who had met in London to encourage Mr. Crawford and his friends to persevere, the course was taken which led to the impor tant results he had just stated, and if the people continued to support the movement with the same spirit in which it had been begun, he did not doubt but it would be found in strumental in the accomplishhig of their political freedom.-- (Applause.) They had now three things to consider in re gard to this movement. First, was the principle just ? Second, was the present the time to apply it ? Third, had they the power to do so ? With regard to the first, he held that nothing could be more just than that if a man was to be taxed, his grievances should be redressed before his money was taken.—(Applause.) To shew that this was the proper time to apply it, he would just give a statement of the amount of money that had been paid to one man—the Duke of Wellington.. Mr. Sturge then read a statement showing that upwards of two millions sterling had been given to the Duke of Wellington. The statement was received with strong marks of disapprobation. . Mr.' WILSON, the Secretary of the Union, read the quarterly Report, which gave a very encouraging account of the progress of the Supply movement.—lt was unanimously adopted, A. coloured Man made a very interesting speech in broken English. He did not understand Parliamentary affairs, he said, but he knew that Britain had much to account for in calling herself a Christian nation, while the Parliament, in the name of Christianity, robbed the people, and when the people complained of being robbed, put Christian men like Mr. O'Neil in gaol.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) He was glad to see that Mr. Sturge had other views of Christianity, and as he had been the friend of the black man, so was he the friend of the white man, and this was all right, for God had said all, men were brothers.—(Cheers.) Mr. WI sox addressed the meeting on the general ques . atm. He said,. we believe that the House of Commons does not represent the people ; that its actions are oppressive and despotic ; that it is voting away the people's money for any thing and everything but the people's benefit ; that it is ruling by physical instead of moral force ; that by each suc ceeding act it plunges the country into difficulties and debt. We not only believe all this to be true, but we prove it—we place the facts in evidence before the world, and challenge contradiction.—(Hear.) We show, too, that to our petitions, remonstrances, and complaints, Parliament has turned a deaf ear ;:that by its tactics and manoeuvres it has rendered nugatory all our efforts even to obtain an inquiry into the grievances of which the people have complained. We offer to prove all this and more, and in the strength of our case we rest the necessity of resorting to the proposal we now recommend to your adoption, that the grievances of the people should be in vestigated and redressed before the supplies are voted. Councillor PERRY gave an account of the interview which the deputalen, entrusted with the memorials and petition, had with Mr. Muntz. He said Mr, Monts seemed to throw ridicule on the proposal. With•regard to the present meet ing, he could not help stating with what feeling of indigna tion hated heard the statement that the Duke of Wellington had received about two Millions and a quarter of the public money, for what?.-(Bear, hear.) It was really awful to think of it, that thousands and .tens of thousands had been called out to shed•their brother's blood, and were themselves now lying low in the dust of the. ground.—(Hear, hear.) A vote of thanks was passed - to Mr. Scholefield, with an ex- Pression. of regret: that Mr, Mintz did not support Mr. Craw ford on, the 6th instant. It was announced, amidst much applause, that Mr. O'Con nell was to be in Birmingham on. Friday, when a public breakfast will be given to him, and a town's meeting held in the evening, on the subject of Irish Weirs, at which he would be present. The 'meeting'then separated.' PORTSMOUTH, FEB.. 26. , —SEVERE GALES.— On Friday night this port was visited with a most severe gale of wind from the north-west, which continued ,blowing with terrific violence until the morning, accompanied with heavy rain. Much damage has been .done to the shipping (small craft),• and great havoc created among newly-sown crops and young:plantations in the neighbourhood of Cumberland Fort. ['he violence of the gale somewhat abated towards night on Saturday, but on Sunday the : atmosphere presented a most gloomy aspect, and the storm increased on the turn of the tide, and continued with most alarming vehemence un til high water, when the sure washed over the ramparts of the town with fearful rapidity. Several ships put into the harbour with their canvass torn to ribands, and apparently in great distress. Several were stranded on different parts of the island, and one unfortunate schooner, the Ratcliffe, William Collins master, lade n w ith car t and wine, from Ferrol (Galicia, Spain), was run into by a strange brig, and soon after rendered a complete wrck. - The crew, eight in number, including the master, were fortunately rescued from imminent danger by a Dutch galliot, and brought safely into port about 6 o'clock on Sunday evening, much exhausted. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE, SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—An inquest was held on Tuesday before Mr. Payne, deputy coroner for London, upon the body of John wcll, who died in St. Thomas's Hospital, frain injuries received by being knocked dawn by a railway train at Wimbledon on the 18th instant. The evidence adduced disclosed no facts with which the public has not already been made ac quainted, and the jury returned as theirverdict—" That the deceased was accidentally killed," at the same time expres sing a hope that more care would in future be .taken to pre vent the recurrence of a similar accident. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE DALLY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. ADVERTISER,-.-We are surprised to find that some of our-Liberal Contemporaries imagine'they can discoverground of hope for Ireland, in the speech'of Sir Robert Peel. They must be persons of - quicker discernment than ourselves. We can_ discover nothing in that spbech, lengthened and varied asit . liras, which afford' 'the - slightest — foundation for any such hope. It bears on its face the impress of canning, and deceit. Its - conciliatory expressions are only intended to 'mislead. No distinct avowal is made of any intention to abandon that oppressive and insulting policy which has has driven Ireland to the verge of rebellion. Now, can. any one who knows the cha racter of the Pr em ie r , 'suppose- for a moment 'that had he contemPlated the adoption of a conciliatory policy, lie would not have taken care to make an explicit avowal of his inten tions 7 ,On all previous occasions—his tariff, for example— when he intended to introduce measures of concession, he has not only proclaimed his purposes in terms which could admit of no misconception, but. with a pompousness of manner pe culiar to himself,•and which was almost as significant as the language...he employed. . If , t Sir Robert Peel had intended to alter the course of his procedure in Ireland, he would not have .studiotisly 'abstained froth all reference to ' Mr. O'Connell's thrice-repeated question" Ha/ are . you to govern Ireland'?" Its his silence as to his future policy we clearly discern an in tention to pursue the perilous path which he is how treading. Instead of intimating his purpose to relax the severity of the law, he avows his resolution to uphold it. No one can mis take the meaning ,of this. In the Premier's vocabulary it signifies . that, while he is in power, Ireland' will continue to be governed by -military force. But we' are not.left to mere inferential deductions respecting the future Irish policy of Sir Robert Peel. We have sure grounds. for our conviction. One 'Unguarded expression escaped Sir Robert iii his late speech,- - which indicates, in a manhbr not to be mistaken, that r a policy of coercion, not of concession, is that which Ministers have determined to pursue towards Ireland. Sir Robert avowed his intention to uphold the Protestant Establish ment as it now exists in- that country. On this point he was more explicit than we ever remember to have heard him. He did not qualify 'his language in any way. The determination was proclaimed without any conditions. He left no loop-hole, no back-door, through which, in case an emergency should arise, he could 'escape from his pledge. , No measure which cart in the slightest degree in terfere-with the Irish Church, can ever be proposed by him. Nor, if any such measure be proposed by others, can it re ceive his sanction. With that Church he has inseparably identified himself: with her he is prepared to stand or fall. Rather than touch her most trivial privilege, or suffer another to do it, he would see his Administration perish before his eyes. Now, if, as is admitted on all hands, the Protestant Church in Ireland be, in her established capacity, the monster evil of that country, and if the Premier has declared his deter mination .to uphold that Church at all hazards—must not they besredulous persons indeed who expect any measures of a conciliatory - nature from him ? His speech, as before remarked, does not 'afford the ` shadow of a ground on which to rest any such expectation. But even if it did, even if he had given an explicit pledge of his inten tion to do justice to Ireland, we would have reposed no faith in his word, after hearing him proclaim his reso lution to maintain, under all circumstances, existing and contingent, the Protestant Establishment of Ire land. So long as the Irish Church is suffered to exist, Ireland cannot know what peace or prosperity means. She is not only the crowning evil, but the parent of nearly all the other evils which are felt in that country. It is not merely that, being the religion only of a few hundred thou sands of her people, she constitutes a standing insult to the millions who are of a different creed, but these millions, while maintaining their own ministers, are ground to the earth by the heavy imposts laid upon them for the support of this Church. It were bad enough that they should be obliged to support this Church, even did they conceive her doctrines, her discipline, and her conduct to be harmless ; but it is a double a c t o f injustice and oppression, when they con sider her creed to consist of most perilous errors, and her con duct to be dangerous, if not destructive, to the souls of men. Nor, insuperable as are these objections in the eyes of the Catholics to the Protestant Establishment of Ireland, are they the only ground of their hostility towards that Esta blishment. Their aversion to the Church is deepened by the fact, that through her door all must pass who are am bitious of sharing in the honours, and partaking of the advantages, which the State holds out to distinguished talent and meritorious conduct. The avenue to civil dis tinction and civil emoluments is shut against the Roman Catholic. His talents may be of the highest order, and his conduct invulnerable to the shafts of calumny, and yet, because he is a Catholic, he is ineligible to any civil, ju dicial, or political office of any importance. Let us not be told that the Relief Bill of 1829 established civil equality between Catholics and Protestants. It did no such thing. In appearance, or in theory, indeed, it may be said to have done so ; in reality , it has not. What is the existing state of matters in Ireland? What has been the state of matters in that country since the aceession of the Tories to power? Are not the Catholics a proscribed class ? Are they not studiously excluded from all offices of emolument and trust? Is not the brand of degredation prominently and permanently impressed on their brow? Are they not insulted in every conceivable way—grossly and gratuitously insulted by the ministers and members of that Established Church, to the maintenance of which they are compelled to contribute ? And yet, though Sir Robert Peel avows his determination to uphold a Church which is thus proved to be the monster evil of Ireland—an evil which converts a country, which would else be a paradise, into a political and social pandemonium—there are persons— persons in the ranks of the Liberals, too—who are credulous to believe that he contemplates a conciliatory policy towards Ireland. We are of no such easy faith. We will not believe that any man can entertain the intention of doing justice to Ireland, who does not commence the work of conciliation by abolishing the Protestant Establishment in that country. CHRONICLE.—So, it appears that M. Guizot flings all the blame of the non-ratification of the treaty with Pomare, Queen of Tahiti, not upon her Majesty's repugnance, but upon the Admiral Dupetit Thouars ; and the Moniteurorders the Queen's restoration. It is evident that Lord Aberdeen, though he admits the French protectorate in Tahiti, refuses to recognise the sovereignty, which, for a pacific Minister, is strange enough ; for it means neither more nor less than this —he adjourns the question of sovereignty to a future war. He denies the right of the French to levy duties, prohibit ships touching, and to exercise rights of sovereignty. Yet the real influence, the practical exercise of sovereignty, he admits. We have no hesitation in saying, that such a state of things is as unsatisfactory as can - be well imagined ; for one more likely to produce collisions, and differences, and jealousies, could not have been established. The protectorate ought to have been opposed and prevented in the first in stance. For now, the whole current of rancorous opposition, greedy of a subject that stirs national pride, will clamour for the full sovereignty of these petty islands, denounce every Minister, like Guizot, as a poltroon that shrinks from offend ing England in the enforcement of rights upon them, and end by making it a sine qud non with any new Minister, that he annex the Friendly Islands in name, as well as in reality, to the French Crown. GLOBE.—The Custom House frauds, which have already excited so much attention and surprise, were on Monday again the subject of inquiry in the Court of Queen's Bench. The form of the proceedings were in this instance different; but the facts adduced in evidence were nearly similar to those elicited on former trials. The mode of procedure was by indictment; the charge was conspiracy to defraud the Crown of certain duties upon goods imported by the fabrication of false entries, and the insertion of the leaves on which these false entries were made into the Blue Books, in which the " sight entries" were made by the landing-waiters, and on which the duties were charged. By the connivance and aid of Homersham and Burnby, two of these. officers (the former since dead, the latter the principal witness against the defendants on this trial), Messrs. Mottram and Williams, who carried on business in Wood-street, Cheapside, as silk-merchants, and their clerk, Horsley, indicted with them, had carried on a course of fraud on the revenue for a considerable time, and to a large extent. The present indictment was, necessarily, limited to one transaction—the fraudulent entry upon two cases of goods imported by the ship Belfast, from France; and by which the Customs branch of the revenue was de frauded of the difference between 417 Z 15s. and upwards of 1,100(, Williams pleaded guilty .; Horsley had ab sconded. The other defendant (Mottram) was convicted. The facts elicited by the examination of the witnesses exemplified most forcibly the oft-repeated observation, that the public business of the country is worse con ducted, and that protection against frauds upon its revenues is far less effective, than those of private commercial establishments. The Attorney-General in his opening explaiued the course pursued at the Custom.house ; and, certainly, had the Honourable Commissioners desired to afford facilities for fraud, they could not have invented a practice better adapted for, the purpose. The importer who contemplated fraud, had only to come to an understanding with one or two lan 'ng-waiters, and, by purchasing their aid with a share of the proceeds, he was secure. The Cus tom House authorities, by .their mode of transacting business, had done the rest ! " Landing-waiters," said Burnby, in his evidence, "were stationed at cer tain quays ; and the importer might land goods where he pleased." The officers of the Government, employed and paid by the public to prevent fraud, perverted into the hired agents of the fraudulent traders, were sure to be in their places. No interchange with officers on Other stations; no checks upon the old jog -trot mode of doing business ; no special examination of the " Blue Books," in which the 'entries were made, to ascertain their genuiness—nothing of this kind was ever thought of. Had not Mottram and Williams become bankrupts, and certain entries of a suspicious appearance in their books excited the suspi• eion of the accountant employed to prepare their balance sheet, led to inquiry, the system, which had been so productive of fraud, would have probably continued to diminish the receipts of the Exchequer, and to swell the gains of the fraudulent importer. The fair trader would have still found himself undersold in the market ; would have witnessed his gradual decline of business, until insolvency and ruin overtook him ; while his dis honest neighbour would have risen, from one step t o another, in the scale of what the world calls " respecta bility," until he retired with an immense fortune, to chuckle over the clumsiness of the Custom House, which had ministered to his dishonesty and success. The witness Burnby stated, as a fact, what will CM.. cite general suspicion, "He made certain disclo sures to the Ctutimissioners"—not, however, until some inctUiriv4 were being made in consequence of the mys.. tern:lT§ entries in Uottrain and Williams' books. " His disclosures wore not caused by remorse. If the Com missioners have represented that the disclosures ema nated from remorse, they were ip error."

They h ave l arge coats fur the e. purpos I had a large coat . w i th very large . poelicts :' -There • are two circumstances connected ', ith the witness Burnby, which will strike ..every oLee who reads the-report-of the-preeeedings of -Monday wit.% .sur prise. The first is, the very lart ! e pecuniary allow once paid to him by the Customs in the 1i214 , of salary :—" am not now in employment. I am living on my own pi ' petty, and on 15s. a-day allowed me by the Customs. made these disclosures in November, 18 I have had -15 s. a-day since." Five guineas a week, in addition to the interest derived from his 0101 property, the produce of his frauds, seems rather like a bounty upon guilty partici:tit tion in.the transactions he described, than anything lire forfeiture of pecuniary advantages, as a punishment for crime. The other circumstance was the protection sought to be cast around him by the Attorney-General, by which the fellow might :obtain impunity from punish ment for imputed perjury. Two indictments for-perjury had been • returned " true bills" by the grand jury ; and the 'Attornep:General applied' to the Court of Queen's Bench for -permission to enter a no& privsegui in each..case ; and thus stay all further proceedings againsthim on those indicttnents. Ftir the ,credit of our judges we are happy to add that this extraordi nary application was refused, and Burnby will haie to answer the indictments in the ordinary course of The proceedings of Monday were, as .we have said, by indictment. The conviction will, therefore, be uppro ductive to the Crown, so far as restitution of any part of the duties of which the revenue has been defrauded is concerned. The witness Burnby, estimated the amount of the fraudulent practices at from 400,0001 to 500;0001. annually; and from 1837 to 1842, as the extent of-time over which the transactions spread. Several verdicts for large penalties have been obtained by the Crown in the Court of Exchequer; but, if report speak truly, the proceeds derived from those verdicts will be miserably small.. It is worth while fur some Member of Parlia ment to move for returns upon these cases, as well as for all papers likely to cast light on these extraordinary transactions. STANDARD.—Among a variety of notices of. mo tions given last night, by different Members of the House. of Commons, is one by our old friend Mr. Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, representative of the borough of Finsbury, in which the Stunthird is concerned. The motion is for a return of all money paid to the proprietors, the managers, conductors, and agents of the Morning Herald and Standard newspapers, for the information furnished by them in reference to the late• agitation in Ireland. How the Ministers may,treat that motion, we are, of course, unable to an ticipate ; but we could most earnestly wish that her Majesty's servants may feel4ustifietl in granting the re- . turn. It is true that, in every case in which we have been in possession .of information that it might be im portant to the public service to place in the hands of the Government, whether such information related to foreign or domestic affairs, we have been careful so to place it, without a moment's delay, because we consider that our connexion with the press does not in any manner re lease us from the duty common to all subjects. While important events • were occurring on the continent of Europe, and - during the troubles in Canada, we had, by means of our expresses, frequent oppor tunity to render this service, and we always rendered it promptly and cheerfully, without the least regard to the political party to Which the Ministers might belong. Of this we have abundant proof, in many courteous letters of acknowledgment from Lords Glenelg, Palmerston, and other Whig Ministers. Of late our opportunities have been much less frequent, for the pre sent Ministers are wonderfully sparing of the materials upon .which newspapers exis - t,:war W and commotion ; but, whenever. we have had the opportunity of commu- nicating information to the Government of' Sir. Robert . _ Peel, or of facilitating its acquisition of information, we, it may be easily believed, have as cheerfully rendered such assistance to the. present Government as to the Government: of Lord Grey or Lord Melbourne. This is one side of the account. Now for the other ; and before presenting it to Mr. Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, we warn him that it will gratify him as little as a bona fide balance-sheet presented by some fashionable persons that we could name to their too long expectant creditors, or as the answer to the bearer of a cheque, the effects to meet which bad been previously taken out by the drawer. The debit side of our account, then, with all the Governments that hav e ex i s t e d since the Sta ndard has existed, is nil, nil, nil. Whatever we have done for the public service, we have never re ceived one farthing for it, and in justice to all the Governments of the last seventeen years, we gratefully acknowledge that not one of them ever insulted us by the offer of one farthing, or one farthing's worth. This may astonish Mr. Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, but let him quit his present party, and be will learn that men may be zealous and sincere, may be honest and independent, without eternally mouthing Liberal common places —may even wish to save their country without a eorrwt consideratin. If we had been in possession of inMmation which could aid in suppreSsing the treasonable agitation in Ireland, any Government might have had it upon the cheapest pos sible terms—had it for nothing= had it pressed upon them ; or if we saw slaty way to such information we should not have delayed ono moment to look for it—and still the return would be payment nil Our readers will excuse our saying so much, as this may be our last fitting opportunitz ; for i% is by no means improbable that, having used his lege of Parliament to insult persons connected with ti e Standard, as he has done an the average twice a year for the last five or six years, Mr. Duncombe mA 9 as h e has found it convenient to do before, withd raw h ! , motion.
