Not being restricted in regard to the investment of its Ca pital, like the Government Office, which can only grant An nuities in exchange for transfers of Stock, and not being en cumbered with the heavy responsibilities of Life Offices, on account of the immense sums assured by them, the " CITY OF LONDON" Company is enabled to present to the Public a much more equitable Scale of Rates than can be offered by either of these Establishments.

MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF MR. • TUFNELL. A meeting of the Committee, friends, and supporters of Mr. Tufnell was called by public announcement on Friday, to meet that gentleman at Elliott's Royal Ho 'el, where' he arrived by the mail at half.past four o'clock. A large number of the constituency had as .etnieled in the' ball-room, nearly four hundred persons ')eing present. Soon after five o'clock Mr. Tufnell en ,-ered the room, and was very warmly received, the eheers being loud and repeated. Dr. THOMAS presided, and, in opening the proceed ngs, stated that it was highly gratifying to see such an 4ugmentation of their numbers, and he hoped he might , ay that almost all those then present were Mr. Tuf eell's friends.—(Cheers.) Mr. TUFNELL rose and was again greeted with loud cheers. 'He said, when be reflected on the very short time that had elapsed since he came among them a perfect stranger,. and when he saw the enthusiastic and ;ratifying welcome that had met hi m h ere that even i ng, he could not but feel rejoiced at finding himself again imeng so many kind friends, and he felt that in coming down he had done his duty.--(Cheers.) Perhaps they might inquire of:him the reason. of, his having coma down among them at this crisis ;.he was not summoned by his friends or hihis committees, but he had come of his own spontaneous accord, :for this single and simple reason, that he had heard (and he rejoiced io hear it) . that there was a Tory opposition in the field.— (Cheers.) He said immediately, wherever an enemy was . foiled there Was 'his place also:—(teeud cheere) e ,- end he had' comedown - to oppose hiM here front to front, and foot to foot.--;-(Cheers.) . He came to test him in person, and to find out what miraculous . chenge`' had come over the electors of this inde dent borough, to . ppe why they who - , 4 in 1834, e flounced and defeated - the Secretary of eth:Admiraity, tow it was they now came round to return him when lie eo looger occupied that office.—(Cheers.) He came to unravel the mystery ; he liked to understand these things himself, for ho w e ver hi s f r i en d s m i g ht } wor k i ts his absence, yet there was nothing like a candidate beingon the spot—nothing like his becoming acquaistte e le with the electors—nothing like seeing them day by r rilne'e, • and understanding the interests . of flit:Nowa:llle nelight seek to represent.—(Hear, Itear.) ee .lt wel' for this simple reason he had come down—to be acquainted with them more and more, and to show the enemy that, wherever he might be, there would he be also.—(Cheers.) He was happy to say that since he had taken his leave of them their position had much changed for the better. There Illid been on their side a disinterested, noble, and generous accession of friends, and conduct like that of those gentlemen who, after the withdraw ing of their candidate, had given him their sup• port on the present occasion, entitled them to the highest admiration ; wherever he had heard it spoken of, it had been mentioned in terms of the warmest approbation—(Cheers)—and it had entitled them to the thanks of every Reformer in the country.—(Cheers.) It was conduct like this which, as an elector, he had always pursued, whether he stood in the first rank or the second. If he could support a person that happened to be his friend, he did so ; but if he could not, he had always rendered his best assistance to the candidate who was most likely to defeat the Tory.—(Loud cheers.) It was perfectly right to support one with whom one had connexions, friendships, and personal predilections, for these could not be easily severed ; but this support could not be persevered in when it would be detrimental to the public interest ; and if waiving those ties could contribute to the general good; it became the duty of every man to consider well be fore he exercised the elective franchise, and to throw. his weight into that scale which was most likely to de feat the mutual enemy.—(Cheers.) That was his principle, and he rejoiced in having received the sup port of a borough that had adopted that principle.— (Cheers, and" You're all right.") He had no doubt that they were " all right," but they had one inconve nience on the present occasion ; considerable delay and doubt must occur before the time of coming to the poll. ;--(Hear, hear.) The interval between this time and that must be spent in constant working and canvassing ; with respect to this he had heard of a trick that had been attempted against them. While canvassing, he had never asked for any votes except for himself; he bad. said to every elector, " If my principles are in, ac cordance with yours, give me your vote ;" but lie bad never said, " If you cannot vote for me, whom do you vote for ?"—(Cheers.) If he could not get an elector's vote for himself, he had never wanted to withdraw it from any other gentleman.—(Hear, and cheers.) He soueht e to stand on his own merits ; anything else he considered subterfuge, and a thing that ought not to be encouraged by the independent electors. That they should obtain a victory in the end—that they should discomfit the Tory, and drive him out still more disgracefully than . he went before—(Loud cheers)—he had not the slightest doubt, and that in spite of the band of lawyers that they saw around him, and combined against them.—(" Three groans for the lawyers," given heartily.) He respected the profession of a lawyer, when he did his duty in his proper sphere ; and whenever he availed himself of their services, he was willing always to pay them chat was their due reward ; but on an occasion like this he would say, give him the friendly and voluntary assistance of no professional men, but of those friends who would support him on principle—who would go day by day and work without either gratitude for past favours, or hopes of future reward.—(Loud cheers.) Those were the persons he liked to see connected with him, whom he liked to go about with him, for they must have credit and influence with the electors.—(Cheers.) Though he respected lawyers in their proper sphere, let them' keep to that, and not attempt to influence the inde pendent electors in another place where they were not required. He did not know whether it was necessary for him to say much more, but he wished particularly to direct their attention to this point. Now he had come down there, their time should not be emp!oyed more than necessary in mere meetings.—( Hear.) He understood that District Committees had now been formed, and with these he hoped to go out day by day, and hour by hour, and work with them, in which his time would be quite at their disposal. They must come to him at any hour whatever, and tell him where his presence was necessary, and there he should be at their service—there work with them heart and hand to defeat the Tory candidate.—(Loud cheers ; " You should get five pounds in halfpence, to give to the boys 1" cheers.) They would now, perhaps, allow him to take his leave of them for that evening, with his again assuring them that his time and services were theirs whenever they were in the slightest degree required.—(Cheers.) Captain FOOTE, R.N., said the remarks of the ho . nourable candidate, though short, were pithy, and to the purpose. He should not waste any eulogium on him, but he should say he seemed just the sort of represen tative to elect, being a straightforward, honest, and un compromising Reformer.—(Cheers.) He was of inde pendent character, a scholar, and as fit a man as any in the kingdom to represent this important maritime town 'in Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) Captain Foote then proposed that the meeting express their opinion that Mr. Tufnell is a fit and proper person to represent them. —(Loud cheers.) Mr. AXFORD said that the best subject was not Mr. Tufnell merely, but the cause of Reform.— (Hear, hear.) If they wished to keep their families in peace and preserve harmony among themselves, they would tell Mr. Dawson that Devonport is no place for a Tory representative. He had heard of different candidates in the field ; he knew of but two, the Right Hon. G. R. Dawson and Mr. Tufnell. As an individual, they all knew and valued Mr. Leach, but his friends were causing divisions, and he came late into the field. Under such circumstances, they were bound to support Mr. Tufnell, and not Mr. Tufnell alone, but the cause of Reform, for which he proposed three cheers. These were given, and after three cheers for the Queen, the meeting broke up, and the members of the committee adjourned to the committee room, to make arrangements respecting the canvass. II T .OYAL ARSENAL, WrOOLIVICII.—On ues day twenty-six pieces of ordnance, thirty-two pounders, were proved at the butt, and they were all found per fect. These handsomely-constructed pieces were . cast from the Royal Arsenal patterns introduced by Mr. Monl:, and present a chaste and light appearance, com bined with great strength. Compared with those formerly in use the saving in weight of metal is considerable, there being a difference of 26 cwt. less in a thirty-two pounder on Mr. Monk's plan, and the experiments made at Walmer Castle during the summer have decided their superiority, as the most effective pieces ever introduced in the British army. A piece of eight inches bore, from which a ball weighing about eighty pounds was fired, carried a distance of three miles and a quarter, and would, consequently, do great execution before our opponents could come within the range of their diff e l, rently constructed pieces of ordnance. Two large pieces, constructed from Mr. Monk's patterns 4 carryingweighing about 85 cwt. having a bore of 10 inches, an d a ball of one cwt. a distance of upwardA .of three miles, have been labelled " Vesuvius," and two of the same calibre " Stromboli." They are intended for two steamers about to ply in the Indian Ocean, alit)Olet soon be removed from the. Arsenal fur their desttnatig We are glad to find that the old system of pot•:!. tical suppers, which used to prevail two years ago monk the Reformers here, is about to be rued this witi - tor.

Sin,—Being a constant reader of your valuable Paper, and thinking that you must h a ve been. misin formed when you stated that the working classes felt no sympathy for Mr. Frost, I take the liberty' of giving you a short description of the proceedings in his'behalf in this and the neighbouring towns. One of the largest in-door meetings ever held in this town assembled at the summons of O'Connor, to declare their sympathy with the Welch patriots. . It was held in the Carpenters' Hall, and the place, which will hold five thousand persons, was crammed to suffocation. The meeting was addressed by O'Connor, Cardo, and Brown of Birmingham ; and great feeling and enthu siasm in 'favour of Mr. Frost was evinced. A large subscription was collected in the room, and is now being carried on throughout the town. Mr. Cavdo addressed a large . meeting at Bolton on IVedneslay week, on behalf of Frost. The events in Waks ht;ve infused a new spirit into .the Chartists of this phrre. The subscription is going on rapidly. At Roc,hdtrle, Mr. Thompson, a delegate from Newcastle, addressed a crowded meeting. A large sum has been coil Bated. The Chartists of Oldham are subscribing to the De fence Fund. At Ashton-under-Line the people, are up and doing; three public meetings have been teld at this town since the insurrection, and the working classes are most enthusiastic in behalf of their IVeleh brethren. Middleton is not behind ;at this place .pub lic meetings have been Convened, and the stibsiription. is going on well. The same is the case at Preston. At Stockport and Hyde, in Cheshire, large bodies of the labouring classes have assembled.: I may likewise give you a little infortnation as to other districts. t Meetings (and large ones) have been held at . . Mac clesfield, Not tingham,Bradfo r d, Sheffield; arid 'Barnsley, and throughout the West Riding. You are - no doubt aware that another Convection is to meet In London during the Present month. Delegates have bein elected for Newcastle, ' Shef field, West Riding, Nottingham, '4(l . r:tan:v. other daces mil soon proceed to the election. Three or four only will be sent from ibis district, as the ConVention nili Consist of ii - lirri;ted - number.

EFFECT OF MONOPOLY. Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against that of Foreign Sugars : LONDON, DEC. 20, 1839. The Gazelle of this evening will quote the average price of British Plantation Musco- Per cwt. vado Sugar, exclusive of duty, at The actual quantity of Sugar sold on account of the importers,in the week ending the 16th inst., according to "the returns made upon oath by the West India Sugar Backers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which the above price is computed, consisted of 1,039 hogsheads, 87 tierces, and 205 barrels. The difference in the prices of West India Sugar and Sugar produced by free labour in Foreign Colonies is about 16s. 61. per cwt. the former class of Sugars being so much dearer than the latter. In the port of London about 3 0 ,000 hhds. and trs., say 22,000 tons, have been landed 'less from the West Indies from the Ist of January last to the present date than in the like period in 1839. To meet this deficiency from the West' Indies the public have, by the exercise of great economy,. used 25,000 hhds. and trs., or about 16.000 tons less this year than last, and there has been a vast increase in the import ltion of Sugar from the Ernst Indies, in round numbers 6,000 tons., which circumstances com bined place the supply of Sugar to London in the same position as though the crops in the West Indies had not been deficient. The stock of West India Sugar now exceeds the stock in 1838 by 3,400 hhds. and trs., and the stock of East India Sugar shows an excess over last year of 2,700 tons, together about 4,800 tons. In consequence of the Sugar Market being closed all next week on account of the Christmas holidays, there has been more disposition during the three days just paEsed to make purchases ; this trifling excitement, however, will cease with the cause of it, and we anti cipate lower piices in January next. CONTINENTAL EDUCATION. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING POST. Marlborough-street, Dec. 17, 1839. MY DEAR Ste.—Having, during a tour I have lately made on the Continent, found Leisure and opportunity for some researches bearing upon our education ques tion, arrl rssured myself of several facts ealculate4l to throsv:t light upon it, I am desirous of making some report thereon to my fellow citizens. If I put lOLA I have to say on the subject into a pamphlet, I shOnld find few readers, for, as even pamphlets, accredited wiTh high names, scarcely attract the slightest notice amongst u.s, of course one marked with my name could not hope for any at all. I wish, however, to be read, believing very honestly, however mistakingly, that I have something to say pertinent to the purpose ; and if you can oblige me with a few columns for two or three of your publica tions, I shall have a chance of a few readers amongst your gentle public at Icast. Nay, I . ven ture even to hope that, as I do not address myself to the question in the spirit of a partisan, but merely as a uarrator of fact, and rather as a mediator than as an advocate, even those Journals that have taken adverse sides upon the question may not scruple to give place to my report in their pages, too. If you consent, I will send you to-morrow a portion for insertion in yoUr paper of Thursday. - Your's very . truly, T. O'MALLEY. [The Editor of the Dublin Evening Post, has accepted the offer of the Rev. Gentleman. Mr. O'Mal ley, we hardly need inform our readers, is a man of no inconsiderable abilities. He has already distinguished himself by his writings on the application of a Poov law to Ireland, and, if we are not mistaken, has broker ; a lance with " John Tuam" himself in defence of the National System of Education. Mr. O'Malley's obser vations on those plans of public instruction adopted on the Continent, the working of which, he has seen with his own eyes, cannot fail to possess a decp interest at the present monient, when the public mind is so anxiously turned to that subject ; and we arc quite sure that if the promised communications are made before the meeting of Parliament, they will be very generally cir culated by the Press ] It is generally believed that Dr. Bowstead, th• present Bishop of Sodor and Man, will be the no , Bishop of Lichfield. The choice would give grey; satisfaCtion, for Dr. Bowstead is an excellent man, am. his principles are Liberal. CORONER'S INQUEST.—SUDDEN DEATH 01' THE HEAD VALET TO THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.—. Last evening an inquiry took place before Mr. Gale . the Corcuer for Westminster, and a jury of respectable tradesmen, at the Union Tavern, Alarylebone-street, Regent•street, into the circumstances attending th death of Charles Muller, aged 46, Head Valet to tb i , Duke of Cambridge. Sophia lirosse, a German, wl, lived in the deceased's service, stated some particular, of no interest relative to his death. 31r. Thomas Young, of 209, Piccadilly, surgeon, stated, that he w,i called upon to attend deceased, and afterwards, with th, assistance of Dr. Bridge, of 37, Cavendish•square, mad% a post morlem examination, and found that klarge eavit , attached to the large vessel of the heart, containing bloo;; had burst, and this was the cause of death 4 The ju t s returned a verdict that the deceased died by the Visits. tion of God. THE DUKE OF BORDEAUX.—Extract of letter from Rome, of the 3d inst. :—Since the arriv: of the Duke of Bordeaux every effort has been made 1 , his small court to attract observation, and there hr been an anxious canvassing for recruits to swell h society, but with small success ; two or three Russian. and Prussians, and a few more English, personal friend , of the Duchess de Gontaut, are all the additions th:.* can be made. The Roman nobility and principal ft reign travellers stand aloof, deterred by the irksomenes of a rigorous etiquette ; whil e , for other reasons, th corps diplo»zatique, w i t h the exception of the Mi n i stc • of Naples, and th e P apal authorities, Car di na l s, an Prelates, resist all overtures from the Palais Coot. Had the P r i nce preserved the incognito under which I came, he might have passed a pleasanter time, and set more varied company ; but the object of the little part is not his Royal Highness's gratification, but to make stir, to he talked about, and to give themselves the airs , importance to which in truth they have no pretenc I Nothing would suit their purpose better than some it ' terference of the French Ambassador, or some persect Lion by the Papal GOvernment , in both which, it i s l • t h e y will be disappointed. The young Prim be hoped, is fair, with pleasing manners, with tact. and sense i n I light colouring of the Naples branch of his famil, conversa tion.

The " Cyclopredia of Practical Surgery" has been undertaken for the purpose of collecting into one copious and comprehen sive digest the Doctrines of Surgery, and the valuable Views of Practice, which either rest on individual experience, or are inculcated in too isolated a manner for the general benefit. In order to stamp upon this important undertaking—hitherto a desideratum in Medical literature—that character of authority to which it aspires, care has been taken in the distribution of thevarious subjects, to confide the execution of them to per sons of acknowledged ability and experience in the several departments • and thus the most distinguished writers in Great Britain and the Continent of Europe have been associated for the production of a work, which when complete, may fairly claim to be considered the most valuable publication of its kind extant in any language. The " Cyclopwdia of Surgery" will be issued in Parts, at ss. each, every alternate month. The work is printed in double columns, with a new type cast expressly for the purpose, on superfine paper, of the largest royal Bvo. size.

THE DEVIL'S LAWS.—That the landed interest will not yield to the just demands of the people, a long, experience too amply testifies of them. But it re mains to be seen whether they may not yet be glad to quail before a stomach plague, and to yield to the (la mends of gaunt and desperate famine. It is scarcely .50 years since a neighbouring people made the country too hot to hold their aristocracy ; and the present con duct of our own is going far towards provoking a re tribution of ano less fearful description. A few of the more rational Aristocrats, Whig as well as Tory, seem to be a little apprehensive of this, and it is hinted in their organs of the Press, that a modification of the existing system may be agreed to by way of compro mise. We earnestly hope, however, that the League will never listen for a moment to so insidious a proposal. But the question now, we think, is not for the League, but the people to determine. After being pillaged (lur ing eleven years of '2O millions annually, will they sub mit to be robbed of half as much more perhaps under a new system of spoliation ? Most assuredly they never will.—Scots Times. WRIT OF MANDAMUS AGAINST THE ST. PANCRAS VESTRY.—Wednesday, at a meeting of the vestry of the parish of St. Pancras, a gentleman named Boddy entered the room, and, advancing toward the chairman and vestry clerk, stated that he held in his hand a writ of mandamus from the Court of Queen's Bench, calling upon the vestry forthwith to proceed to a new election of vestrymen and auditors of accounts, and his object in attending there was to serve the writ in ques tion upon the vestry clerk, as the official organ of the vestry. Mr. Boddy added that copies of the writ had already been served on the churchwardens and several of the vestrymen, and having handed the writ to Mr. M'Gahey, the vestry clerk, retired. Mr. M`Gahey read the writ, which, after alluding to the various circum stances upon which it was applied for and granted, con cluded by commanding the vestry to proceed forthwith to a new election of 46 vestrymen and five auditors of accounts, or make a return to the said writ on or be fore the 11th of January, IS4O. After some discussion the writ was referred to a Committee, to inquire into the best course to be adopted, and to report to the vestry forthwith. CAPTAIN CHAMIER'S NEW NOVEL " TIIE SPITFIRE."—The new work of this highly entertaining and truthful writer is now published, and it more than answers to the anticipations which its announcement excited. Though not strictly a naval novel—for half its incidents occur on shore —it will, doubtless, prove the more, rather than les s , successful' on that account, as it appeals to a larger var i ety of tastes, an d d eve l opes a more extensive range of character. Its story, which is highly wrought up, turns on that inexhaustible source of ro:nantic interest —a disputed inheritance ; and the force and spirit with which many of the darker lines of character are traced, present a striking contrast to the lighter and m ore fashionable" fictions of the day. " The Spitfire- is decidedly one of Captain Chainier's moat Successful productions.
