In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the Assured have the security of the Company's income of nearly £60,000 per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and other available securities, of considerably larger amount than the estimated liabilities of the Company. The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

Sim—ln the discussions of the currency, it may b e asked, what becomes of our definition of " standard," when it has been clearly shown that the standard by which our liabilities are measured is a variable quan tity ? The exposition of this complex affair induces a belief that it is an " arrant juggle," mystified in such manner as to delude the industrious portion of the community, who are paying, and have all along been paying, the piper. It is, doubtless, an easy matter to censure ; it would be more commendable to show some plan that may improve the state of our currency arrangements; under such impression I hope to be pardoned in pre suming to offer the following suggestions, more espe cially as I have anything but a p ro f oun d knowledge of the subject under consideration. Select for a standard some material that has main tained, for a run of years, a steady relation to the necessaries of life. Suppose gold to be that material; then let a certain weight of gold of specified quality be the standard pound, by which all money transac tions are to be measured. Let the Bank-note price of the standard pound be daily published in the man ner of the price of stocks; and for the convenience of arranging money transactions, let it be stated by the pound and decimals of the pound. A money transaction, for example, would then be conducted in some such manner following :—Sup pose on the day of transaction the Bank-note price of the standard be 1.002; I borrow 5001., which I wish to have in Bank-notes ; Bank-notes are at a discount of -002 ; 500 - 002 , 1; I must therefore receive 501/. in Bank-notes, and give an acknowledgment for 5001. sterling. Suppose, after a lapse of years, the money I have borrowed is called in, and on the day of repayment the standard is quoted at .998 ; Bank-notes are now at a premium of 'OO2 ; 500, •002=1; I pay therefore only 499/. in Bank notes, and my debt is cancelled. Bank-notes of the Bank of England and private banks to be legal tender; their circulation to be ex panded, perhaps to the amount of taxes necessary to pay the annual expenses of the Government and inte rest of the debt. That all bankers deposit in the hands of Govern ment securities of real property equal to, or exceed ing, the amount of their notes in circulation. The Government can by the issue of stamps know the amount of the notes in circulation, or the limit which they cannot exceed ; the whole to be under the con trol of Parliament. Bank-notes in payment of taxes to be considered always at par; and in the payment of dividends, salaries, and, in short, all payments made by Govern ment, Bank-notes are to be considered at par. The foregoing suggestions comprise an outline of a scheme ; but it may be remarked that confusion and difficulty would arise from such a plan ; and even if it were good in theory, it would be bad in practice. In reply, it may be stated that the relative value of Bank notes and gold could be arranged, according to the fluctuation of the Bank-note price of the standard, in a tabular form, and that any transaction could be quickly performed ; in fact it would be something like taking out logarithms to natural numbers, and vice verso, in the process of computation. As gold in the form of coin would be nearly, if not wholly, superseded by Bank-notes, and as the use of gold would be confined very much to commercial purposes in the state of bullion, the amount of our currency would not be liable to fluctuation from an abstraction of gold for exportation, and changes in the relative value of gold and Bank-notes would, in a great degree, be avoided. Perhaps such steadiness would prevail as to render it unnecessary to take into consideration the Bank-note price of the standard in transactions of small amount. Parliament having the control of the currency, its care should be to regulate the issue of Bank notes, so that the value of Bank -notes be kept at, or nearly at par, and a con sequent steady relation between Bank-notes and pro ducts of industry.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Jan. 22. IN RE SOMBRE, A LUNATIC. A verdict of lunacy was some time since returned against Mr. Dyce Sombre, but before proceedings were taken to appoint a Committee, the lunatic left England. Mr. WALPOLE, on the part of a solicitor of the family, now moved on a petition for the inspection of certain documents, at present in the custody of the Commissioner in Lunacy. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was impossible to make such an order in the present state of circum stances. The omission to appoint a committee was much to be regretted, for it deprived the lunatic of any legal representative, and the Court had no power to direct the Commissioner to deliver up or grant an inspection of any document in his custody. SELBY' V. JACKSON. The plaintiff, who sues in forma pauper's, filed a bill to set aside a deed by which he empowered the defendants, his brothers-in-law, to manage his busi ness, as a wine merchant, during his confinement under temporary insanity. The allegation in the bill was, that the plaintiff executed the deed under con straint, and without being fully aware of its contents. The Alaster of the Rolls dismissed the bill, being of opinion, as the defendants stated in their answer, that the plaintiff was fully aware of the nature of the deed, fully competent to execute it, and that what had been done was the best that could be done under the pecu liar circumstances of the case. Mr. SELBY arguelhi; — ;se to-day for several hours, and contended that the deed was executed in a madhouse on compulsion ; that his property under it had been much mismanaged, and that the defendants were now bound to account. At four o'clock the further hearing was postponed 11 to-morrow. JANUARY 23. The Lord Chancellor did not sit :to-day, in conse quence of indisposition. VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Jan. 22. (Before Sir L. SHADWELL). LORD JOHN I3ERESFORD V. THE ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH AND OTHERS. The further arguments of counsel in this case were resumed this morning on the point raised by the plaintiffs on further directions—namely, the right of the personal representatives of the late Lord Waterford to have his personal estate now recouped by the pre sent Marquis of Waterford, out of the rents and profits of the Londonderry estates, to the extent of the principal sums, with interest at 6 per cent., ad vanced by the late Lord Waterford in his lifetime out of his own proper moneys, to pay off certain incum brances and debts upon the family estates. The claim now made by the plaintiffs, who represent all the ' younger children of the late Lord Waterford, amounts, including principal and interest since 1826, the period since that nobleman's death, to no less a sum than 90,0001. Mr. STUART replied on behalf of the plaintiffs. He insisted that by the will of George Marquis of Waterford, who died in the year 1800, all his debts were charged on the Londonderry estates, as the primary fund for payment, and that a mortgage and sale of those estates were directed by the will to be made, in order to pay off the amount of those debts. The Master had reported that the amount of those debts, at the time of the death of Marquis George, was 115,0001. ; and that by payments made by the late Marquis Henry, to whom the estates w ere d ev i se d b y Marqui s George's will, as tenant for life, the amount of the debts was reduced to about .51,000/. The amount so paid off, in respect of the principal money due for those incumbrances, was a debt due to the personal estate of the late Marquis, and for which he must have a charge on the Londonderry estates, so as to stand against those estates with the same rights as the creditors whom he had paid off. The argument on behalf of the present Marquis, who was tenant in tail of these estates, was that, by a deed executed in Ireland in 1822, the late Marquis Henry, the tenant for life, had agreed to give up the right which he had to stand in the place of the other creditors whom he had paid off. That argument could not stand ; first, because the unreserved purpose of that deed, as recited in it, was to keep alive his claim against the London derry estates; secondly, because it provided that the claim was to extend to all such debts which might be paid by Marquis Henry as were charged on the estate by the will. The only doubt which could be raised as to the construction of the deed of 1822, was from an inaccurate use of the words "rents and profits," in such a manner as to make it appear that Marquis Henry considered that the whole rents and profits of the Londonderry estates during his life were to be applied not merely to keep down the interest on the debts and mortgages, but also to pay the principal money due upon them. There was not a doubt that under the will of Marquis George, the late Marquis Henry was entitled to all the rents and profits as tenant for life, subject only to his paying thereout the interest on the mortgage and other debts. What the intention of the deed of 1822 was, then, there could therefore be no doubt. The amount, therefore, which the executors of the late Marquis Henry claimed to charge against the Londonderry estates, with inte rest since 1826, was about 90,0001. The VICE-CmANcELLoa, proceeded to give judgment upon this important question. His Honour said that, as he understood the case, it really came to this, whe ther on the will of George Marquis of Waterford and the deed of 1822, taken together, it was to be con sidered that the late Marquis Henry was originally , placed under an obligation, or that he had put him self under an obligation, to apply what his Honour might call the surplus rents, that was, such as should remain after the current charges which must have been paid with interest and so on—whether the sur plus rents were to be applied to the liquidation of what he might call the capital sums ? That was the point. Now, it really appeared to his Honour that no such construction would be allowed by this Court on the will of the Marquis George ; and the utmost effect which could be given to the words with regard to the rents and profits was this, that they would be applicable to keep down the prin cipal if necessary, and, in short, it left the thing precisely as it would have been. There would merely have been a charge of debts and legacies, in the simplest form, on the Londonderry estates ; and then, with respect to the deed of 1522, it really ap peared to his Honour that if there had been a bill filed for the purpose of carrying into execution the trusts of that deed, and it had been insisted on by those who filed the bill that the construction to be given to it was such as was now contended for, the Court, in con sidering that question, must take the whole of the in strument together, and taking the whole of it together, no such construction could, in his Honour's opinion, lie made out of it ; and although his I lonour admitted that there were very foolish and blundering words in the deed (it was drawn in Ireland), in that part of that thing which was the witnessing part of it, just after the habendum, yet it ap peared to him that such a construction as that contended for by the present Marquis's counsel was utterly inconsistent with the plain intention ap pearing on the recital ; and his Honour also thought it utterly inconsistent with those latter words at the end of the deed ; and it therefore appeared to his Honour, that it would be a great surprise and a la mentable calamity on this noble family, if any other mode of dealing with it were allowed. His Honour should, therefore, declare, that the executors of the late Marquis Henry were entitled to have a lien upon the rents and profits of the Londonderry estates, to the extent of the principal of the incumbrances and debts paid off the family estates by the late Marquis Henry in his lifetime. The result of this decision is to add a sum of above 90,0001. to the personal estate of the late Marquis, which is divisible for the benefit of his younger children. JANUARY 23. The Vico-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole morning with the arguments in the cause of "Far mer v. Farmer," in which the bill was filed for the pur pose of having certain deeds delivered up to be cancelled, on the ground of th© imbecility of the party executing them. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 23. (Sittings in Banco.) The Court took the special paper to-day. No case of any public interest came on during the morning. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 23. (Sittings at Nisi Prius.) GREGORY V. THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK AND ANOTHER. This was an action for a conspiracy, of which the facts are familiar to the public. The verdict was for the defendant, against which Mr. Sergeant Shea ob tained last term a rule nisi. Cause was shown by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd for the defendants, and this day Mr. Sergeant Shea replied. The argument occupied the whole morning, and the Court refused the rule. BAIL COURT, Jan. 23. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) THE QUEEN V. THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. In this case Mr. KELLY, on the application of the Church wardens of St. Magnus and St. Margaret, New Fish -street Hill, moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue against the Corporation of London, for the payment of 921., the amount of arrears for non-payment of a perpetual charge of 81. a year. The charge in question was created by Act of Parliament, in the year 1762, on the Bridge House estate, as compensation for a foot passage made under the steeple of St. Magnus Church. On the erec tion of the new bridge, the passage, not being any longer re quired, was enclosed, and the Corporation have refused pay moot of the charge on account of it since the year 1832. Rule granted. STYLES V. DULCEEN. (Before a Common Jury. This was an action for false imprisonment. Mr. HUMFAEY said that in this action James Styles was the plaintiff, and Theodore Augustus Dulcken, the husband of Madam Dulcken, the celebrated pianist, the defendant. The parties had had dealings together on various occasions relating to horses. Mr. Dulcken conceiving himself to have been defrauded in the last transaction between them gave the defendant into custody, and when ho arrived at the station-house refused to make any charge. He was discharged the same day. It was on account of this imprison ment that the present action had been brought. The only de fence which Mr. Dulcken had put on the record was, that he was not guilty. It was for the jury to say, under these cir cumstances, what compensation the plaintiff was entitled to receive. John Spires examined by Mr. PLATT, on behalf of Mr. Hum frey, who had left the Court—Was a police constable. On the Bth of September, while he was standing at the corner of Burwood place, Edgeware-road, Mr. Dulcken sent for him, and told him that he wished him to take a prisoner in custody for swindling him. He arrested Styles afterwards in the street, and then fetched Mr. Dulcken to the police•-office. It ap peared from the conversation which took place that the horse had been sold by Mr. Savory, and they all three went in search of him, but in vain. Mr. Styles was discharged on his promising to meet Mr. Dulcken on the following morning to have a settlement. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—Knew a public house called the Eagle and Vulture. Went there and saw Styles and Savory come out together. Mr. Styles said that Mr. Savory was the person who sold the horse. Patrick Conolly, sergeant of police, gave similar testimony with respect to what took place at the police station. Mr. g rimmest addressed the jury for the defendant. He said when the jury were aware of the circumstances of this ease, he felt confident that the plaintiff would be perfectly safe in their hands. Mr. Dulcken had, unfortunately for him, on a previous occasion, purchased a horse of the defendant, and had given a bill fur a larger sum than he was bound to pay, leaving him a creditor of Mr. Styles to the amount of ten guineas. Mr. Styles, under these circum stances, recommended to Mr. Dulcken's notice a horse. Styles said the horse belonged to Mr. Savory who kept the St. Andrew's Tavern. The horse was eventually purchased for 45 guineas, a warranty being given by Mr. Savory as to its soundness. It was sent, on the day it was purchased, to Mr. Patteson, a livery stable-keeper, who immediately said that it was unsound, and not worth five guineas. The result was that the horse was sold by the defendant for 71. ss. He admitted, that under these circumstances, his client, a foreigner, took a step which could not be justified by law; but, considering the circumstances which led to it, and the slight imprisonment which took place, he thought the jury would give only a farthing damages. Edward Cussens (examined by Mr. THESIGER) deposed to the trial of an action for 15/., brought by the defendant against Mr. Styles, in November, in which the jury returned a ver dict fur 8/. against the latter. Some receipts were excluded, on account of the absence of stamps. William Taylor, a coachman to the defendant, deposed to the horse being brought home. Witness took him to Mr. Patteson's stables, who pronounced him to be a roarer. Patteson, a livery-stable keeper in Marylebone-lane, de posed to the horse being brought to his stables. He found him a roarer. Styles at his stables admitted that he was not sound in the wind, and said that he did not intend that horse for Mr. Dulcken, and he should have another. Some further evidence was adduced as to the value of the horse. Mr. PLATT having addressed the jury for the plaintiff, The Learned JUDGE said the jury must of course return a verdict for the plaintiff, as the defendant had clearly acted con trary to law. They might consider, however, whether the transaction was such as to induce Mr. Dulcken reasonably to think that he might have recourse to the criminal law, and by their opinion on this point they would regulate the damages to be awarded. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, one Farthing. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 23. (Before Mr. Baron Rorse. ) WRITS OF ERROR. The Learned Judges of the Queen's Bench and Exchequer met this morning in the Exchequer Chamber, and announced they would sit to hear writs of error from the Queen's Bench on Thursday, the Ist, and from the Exchequer on Tuesday, the 6th of February. DAY S.NDY. This was an action to recover 481., the amount of a pro missory note at three months' sight. The defendants and the father of the plaintiff entered into partnership for a term of twenty-one years as saddlers' ironmongers, in Great Queen•street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The partnership was dissolved in eight months, owing to the plaintiff's father being involved in pecuniary matters, and because an execution had been put into the house, and on the goods of the firm. It was proved by the evidence of the brothers of the plaintiff that lie had advanced the money to his father, who gave him the promissory note in the name of " Day and Co." It was also proved by evidence that the plaintiff, who is 24 years of age, only received Bs. a week, which, the counsel for the defendant contended, gave him little or no opportunity of saving a single shilling, and that the promissory note was con cocted by the plaintiff and his father a few days before the disso lution of partnership, for the purpose of involving the defendant in the matter, and ultimately obtaining his share of the amount as co-partner. It was further asserted that the obligation was one wholly unconnected with the firm, and entirely of a private nature. The defendant's solicitor stated that he saw the plaintiff at a public-house in White Hart-yard, and on asking him if the promissory note was a private or business transac tion, he stated that it was a private matter, and that a female sitting behind the bar told him to hold his tongue, and to call his uncle to speak about the business. Verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MARYLEBONE. On Mr. Maltby, the presiding magistrate, taking his seat on the bench this morning, Mr. Clements, the chief officer, handed to him nine letters, addressed to the sitting magistrates of this Court, all of which had been re ceived by post, or otherwise, since yesterday. Mr. MALTBY said the re was no doubt they contained contributions for the poor box, but he should not open them until he had communicated with his colleague, Mr. Hardwick, on the subject, as he felt I pite con vinced that great evil was arising from the distribution of alms from that Court, in the way it had been done for some time past. The office was daily beset with shoals of applicants for relief; and the numbers were daily increased ; 51. per day were given away, but it would require 1001. to relieve all that, applied ; it was also producing a very bad system in the neighbourhood, many persons neglected their work to apply for relief, and others resorted to deceit and fraud to obtain it. Upwards of thirty donations were received yesterday. Mr. Fitzpatrick said that the practice, if persevered in, would bring upon them the whole of the vagrants in the parishes comprising the district of the Court ; for they began to think they had an actual right to claim relief from the poor-box, It was originally intended for the succour of deserving oftjects in sudden exigency of dis tress, and not for permanent relief: The chief officer said, that for many days past the mothers of families, and others, were loitering about the Court during the day, taking the chance of being re lieved. When one obtained it she directly sent another, and so the continued applications were kept up from day to day ; they were also acquiring habits of idleness and drinking. Mr. MALTBY said some steps should ho taken in the matter, and the conversation dropped. . The mortal remains of the late Marquis of Ilasting6 were deposited on Monday, in Castle Donnington church, Leicestershire, in a vault prepared for the occasion. The inhabitants of Donnington closed 'hair shops as a marl: of respect to the memory of the late lamented Nobleman. GREECE. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. ATHENS, DEC. 22.—The National Assembly continues its daily sittings. The draft of the address was read and distributed to the As sembly on the Ibth, and its discussion adjourned to the 18► h. It appears that the Commission charged with the framing of the address omitted indicating the motives which led to the reform of the 3d of September; and, generally, that the ad dress is not Helennic enough. This omission was by most de puties considered as an indifference to the new order of things; the Ministry, to remove any inquietude, affecting the future, the part of the officers who supported the demand for a con stitutional reform, proposed to the Assembly to ensure such officers the activity of service in their respective grades during their life time. This proposition having been developed by M. Zegraphos, the supposed author of the draft, was carried with loud cheers. The Council of Ministers made an address to the Helle- nians, whereby they assured them that they will place no faith in the reports, artfully spread in the provinces, which give a false idea of the spirit by which the Assembly is led. They then exhort them to be tranquil and wise, and to confide in the Assembly. The Assembly, through its Vice-President, M. MaTrocer date, decreed that Col. Kallergy and the garrison of Athens, serve as the Assembly's Guards. The Greek Observer publishes the draft of the Assembly's address, in answer to the speech from the throne. " Sire—The representatives of the people, from the bottom of their hearts, thank Providence for seeing your Majesty amongst them on this day, the Bth of November. They on this day are fulfilling a most pleasant duty in expressing their most lively feelings of joy and profound acknowledgment. " They accept your Majesty's wise words as a happy omen for the future destiny of Greece. :hey do with unutterable satisfaction acknowledge that the ties which sinee 1f33 unite the Greek people to their King became indissoluble the day on which the noble wish of your Majesty's paternal heart sealed the accomplishment of the national wishes, so unanimously ex pressed. " Sire, the Greek nation, during the whole period of the I.olv struggle for its independence, has consecrated, repeatedly, in all the acts of its assemblies, the principle of the constitu tionalTguarantees so beneficial to the population. " The nation entertains a sincere feeling of acknowledgment for the liberal laws which, after the establishment of the Royal dignity, have been enacted according to these principles.. But the acknowledgment of the Greek people became still greater the day when your Majesty listened to the recently expressed national wishes, and condescended to acknowledge the work by proclaiming the system of national representation, as a treaty between the King and the people —a treaty which is to consecrate, irrevocably the people's rii hts and the Throne's prerogatives. . - " Yes, Sire, this treaty alone, and a Constitutional Govern ment give life, and insure the stability of the liberal laws enacted since the establishment of the Royal dignity, and will raise on a most solid basis the edifice of our political Consti tution. " Embracing in one and the same thought, both the present and the future destinies of the Greek society, the representa tives, under the protection of the highest, will use all their efforts to further this edifice. " Sharing, as they do, in your Majesty's wishes, and vows for the welfare of the nation, they will not be sparing in awarding , I just and necessary concessions, to arrive at this scope; they } I will on the one h an d, use a ll t h e i r e ff orts to put the funda ' mental law of the constitution of the country in harmony with the real wants of the people, and to render it worthy of the ex pectations of the civilised world ; and, on the other, they will represent the monarchy in all its strength, and surrounded by all due respect, reserving to the throne the requisite rights to protect the just interests of every individual, and the general prosperity of the nation. " Rely, Sire, that on every occasion, did the Greek people acknowledge your Majesty's attachment to them—an attach ment which the representatives know how to worthily appre ciate. " They do, therefore, set at work with full devotion, and inspired by a feeling of justice and patriotism, they will occupy themselves, in harmony with y our M a j esty, w i th the framing of the definite Constitution of the representative kingdom of Greece, and will endeavour to seal it with the mark of stability. " The representatives of the people will, assisted by the Al mighty, fulfil the sacred duties laid upon them by the mission with which they are entrusted, and trust to be able to guaran tee the perpetual welfare of Greece, inseparable from the glory of your Majesty's. throne." After three days of discussion, the foregoing address was car ried by a great majority. The amendments which it under went are insignificant, only the fifth paragraph was changed. The answer to the address was presented to his Majesty by Messrs. Metaxa and Londos ( Vice-Presidents of the Chamber), and Messrs. C. Colocotroni and Ducos (Secretaries), accom panied by twelv e mem b ers d epute d b y t h e Assembly. The fol lowing is his Majesty's reply : " Gentlemen—l receive with pleasure the answer of the National Assembly to the speech which I pronounced at the opening of its labours. The harmony of my sentiments with those of the nation has caused me the most inexpressible satis faction. In this manner the great work of the establishment of the constitution of Greece will be accomplished happily and with perfect agreement, and in this manner I do not doubt we all understand the 3d of September." The answer of his Majesty was received with universal en thusiasm, and all the journals are alike loud in their praises of it. The Queen's birthday was celebrated on the 21st with great solemnity. The King gave a grand banquet to the corps di ploinatique, and to a great number of Deputies and civil and military functionaries. In the evening the city was brilliantly illuminated. We find in the Secolo, the following article on the new form of Government which is to be established in Greece :-- " A dispatch, dated Nov. 29th, concerning the situation of Greece, and the labours of the National Assembly, has been addressed by Lord Aberdeen to the British Representative at the Court of King Otho. The following are, in substance, the most important contents of this note : " The financial situation of Greece occasioned last April, the re-union of the London Conference, from which emanated four protocols. During the negotiations the three Powers acted in concert and in perfect unanimity of views. The Russian re presentative wanting sufficient powers, so aeto give his ultimate approval of such protocols, these latter could not b e p u bli s h e d, and were therefore forwarded to St. Petersburgh, there to re ceive the Emperor's sanction. " Since the event of the 3d of September, the King of Ba varia has charged the Prince of Wallerstein, with a note to the London Conference, with instructions above all to keep up a good understanding with the French and British courts, with respect to the interests of Greece. In consequence of this note, the King of Bavaria seemed determined to acknowledge the representative Government adopted in Greece, because his Majesty King Otho wrote to his august father, under date September 25th, stating that constitutional institutions are not only useful, but necessary for this country. King Louis re quested the powers to give their consent, in order that the rights of the throne might be respected, and the Government now to be established, strengthened. " The British and French Governments have decided, in unison, to give to their representatives in Greece, special in structions, suitable to the actual state of the kingdom, parti cularly with regard to the workings of the National Assembly. Sir Edmund Lyons has been charged to communicate such in structions in the shape of advices, so as not to be considered as an outrage to the dignity of the throne, and that of the nation. France will give to her representative more detailed instruc tions. Lord Aberdeen adds—' You will communicate to Go. vernment, the commanders, and the more influential members of the National Assembly, the hereunder stated grounds, upon which the constitutional monarchy is to be founded, that it may have strength enough to direct the country in the paths of pro gress and prosperity. The King will appoint all civil and mili tary officers. The national representation will be formed by two Chambers—one elected by the people, taking property as a basis for the right of election ; the other chosen by the King either for life, or hereditary. The Chambers will vote the taxes and the expenditure of the State. The King will have the right of proposing laws, and have a share in the framing of them. The rights of proposing expenses will only belong to the Government." his Excellency Sir Charles Motcalfe, Governor- General of Canada,'has become a Life Member of the British and Foreign Institute, and transmitted 100/. as a donation towards its library. The Institute is to be opened by a soirée on Friday the '2d of February, when his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Patron of the Institute, has communicated his intention to honour the opening with his presence. The Noble President, the Earl of Devon, will preside. IIoNG-KONG.—The intense interest and curiosity which universally prevail respecting our new prospects and pos sessions in China are likely to be gratified by the publication of a series of papers which will be commenced in the February Number of the New Monthly Maya:ine, written by a gentle• man who has just returned from the scene of our late triumphs. The first paper will be devoted, almost exclusively to Hong- Kong and its vicinity, and will include personal sketches of all classes of the native inhabitants ; together with most curious and interesting particulars of the practice and results of opium smoking ; a description of the various bazaars and public places; an account of the numerous hands of thieves and pirates which infest Hong-Kong and the waters in its immediate vicinity ; the various means and methods of locomotion, the public hotels, and, in short, a detailed view of all the strange and novel points connected with this most interesting locality. EASINGIVOLD.—SINGULAR _NOCTURNAL VISITA • TION. —Wm. Farmary, an honest and industrious agricultural labourer, residing at Iluby, near Easingwold, states, that about a month ago he retired to rest as usual, his wife remaining op some time time longer, when he heard and felt something like a cat come upon his bed near his feet. It ascended up his body, he, thinking it to be the cat, attempted to expel it, and in fact thought he had done so, but it quickly returned, and some. times seemed to rest behind his shoulders, until his wife went to bed, when no cat could be found. The annoyance, however. ceased for that night. Since that time every care has been taken of the cat, and yet the poor fellow is subject to the same nocturnal and unwelcome visitations. The visits have been regular (with hut one exception) for a month, as soon as he has got into bed. He states that he has had several mem bers of his own family, as well as others, to sleep with him, and yet the annoyance is the same. Ile removed one night a mile front borne, but without any relief. The annoyance generally continues for an hour, and different persons have watched him while he has described the movements of the sensation so peculiarly felt on his person ; none can, however, detect the cause. The family are much alarmed at the eircusn stance, and the gossips and superstitious have many and variou erroneous opinions respecting it in r e ference to ghosts, witch craft, satanical agency, &c. &c.
