THE TRADESMAN'S AN.P.J GENERAL MUTUAL LIFE ASSUP.ANcE , AND NATIONAL BEN ..FIT SOCIETY. Enrolled and Empowered under ..:ne Acts of Parliament of the 10th George IV., and the 4t? '... and bth William IV., commonly known as Tidd Pratt's A ja r There are multitudes of Life Assurance Companies, but all are directed to meet t .ne wants of classes superior to those contem plated by this o r ".dce. This establishment is peculiarly adapted to the g r eatm',ddleclass of society. The professional man, the man of liini`.ed income, the tradesman, the working man, all have hith.erto looked in vain for an establishment adapted to their 'means, their desires, and their necessities. Societies with high sounding titles, large nominal capitals, and long lists of noble, honourable, and right honourable directors, have been established, or attempted to be so ; but if the veil were withdrawn, it would be found that the capital was in a great measure ideal, and the direc tors gentlemen who never could take an active part in working the society, and never intended to do so. Morever, when those esta blishments have real capital and proper responsibility attached to them, they are found to be merely 4 ' Proprietary Companies" (i. e.) Companies of Shareholders who have to be paid a large per tentage upon the proceeds before such proceeds can be appropriated to the benefit of those who advance them. The working classes have been greatly assisted in sickness and misfortune by the operation of Benefit Societies; why, therefore, should not the middle classes apply to that principle to remedy their own peculiar wants and necessities Y It is true that some evils have attended ill-regulated Assurance Companies, but the misery entailed upon the lower class by corrupt and ill-conducted Benefit Clubs has been infinitely greater. In a large majority of Benefit Societies, the treasurer, or influential person, is a publican, at whose house the meetings of the club are continually held. The effect of such a state of things is highly prejudicial to the 0 01- being of a Society formed expressly to provide against t!-,e contin gencies of accident, sickness, or other misfortune, by inducing a waste of its means in the purchase of intoxicating liquors ; thus prejudicing the health and morals of the '. - nembers, while the very funds to meet the necessary calls neon its benevolence are dissi. pated. This Society is formed to embrace, if possible, all the excellencies of the Life Assurar.ice Establishment and the Benefit Club. The Tradesman's Ins t :aution has been formed on the principle of mutual assurance, t'ne wily woae by which, it is now generally acknowledged, the advantages of life assurance can be realised, and its legitimate benefits made available to the assured. All the surplus premk'ams not required to meet the actual claims of the Society 11'ing returned to the policyholders, instead of a large portion being divided among the shareholders, as in Proprietary Companies. In reference to Societies founded on this plan, Professor De Morgan remarks, that the risk at the commencement is not great in character, and is small in amount; and the quantity of risk diminishes so much faster than the amount increases, that it may safely be said, there is nothing in the commercial world which approaches even remotely to the security of a well-established and prudently managed Mutual Insurance Office. When it is considered, that out of the vast population of the United Kingdom scarcely lto,ooo persons have yet availed them selves of the incalculable benefits derivable from life assurance, it is evi dent that there is a wide field yet open for the operations of another society, established on sound working principles, and embodying advantages of a nature calculated to arouse the attention of the middle classes to the system, and still further to extend its blessings. On these grounds it is that the Tradesman's Life Assurance, and National Benefit Society, has been brought before the public; and when its principles and objects are fully understood, and it is made eltar that the plans adopted are not only novel in their application, but hold out benefits to a numerous and influential class of the community, such as cannot be secured from any other existing so. ciety, the Directors feel assured that the Society must necessarily be extensively supported, and consequently be attended with signal success. The Tradesman's Mutual Life Assurance, and National Benefit Society, in addition to the usual advantages offered by Life Assur ance Societies, secures the long-desired desideratum of a liberal provision in sickness and accident, as well as in old age ; thus combining all the benefits derivable from Sick Clubs, on an ex tended and respectable scale, white at the same time, it carefully and entirely avoids their universally acknowledged evils. To the tradesman, professional man, and middle classes gene. rally, an Institution of this comprehensive nature must obviously be of the greatest importance, as it places them in a position to reap advantages far beyond those which have been held out by Benefit or any other Societies, and to a much greater extent. It in fact opens to them an entirely new field for the application of prudence and forethought, not only realising benefits to their fa milies, but providing for their own personal comforts, against the contingent calamities of disease and accident, and against want, destitution, and distress in old age. The poorer classes subscribe largely to Sick Clubs for the purpose of securing a protection against the contingencies of accident and disease, but the middle clas'„es have no approximating Institution to which they can reso:',. There is no fund in existence to which the respectable tratiesrnan, the professional man, or others of mo derate incomes, mainly dependent en their own personal exertions, can apply for adequate provision in times of sickness or accident; nor is there any extensive Association in which they can accumu. late their savings with security and profit, and at the same time make them beneficially available in sickness, old ago, and death. This great desideratum is now offered by the Tradesman's Mutual Life Assurance, and National Benefit Society :—By the payment of moderate premiums, the sum of 1/. to 51. per week may be se. cured in sickness or accident, an annuity for life after a certain age, and a provision for a family at death—combined advantages of so important a nature, as to justify the Directors in anticipating an extraordinary measure of success. The rates of premiums adopted by this Society are calculated on a scale somewhat lower than those of many Assurance-offices, but at the same time they are sufficiently high to afford perfect se. curity even under the most adverse circumstances. Indeed the law of mortality is now understood as admitting of so little fiuctua. tion when applied to a considerable number of persons, especially those constituting the members of a Mutual Assurance Society, that the general application of that law in framing scales of pay ments must necessarily be comparatively easy; and a Society for Mutual Assurance at given rates of premium, can ascertain the extent of its ability to meet all its engagements, with nearly the same arithmetical accuracy as a trader who purchases a commodity at a certain price and sells it at a certain profit. Assurers for the whole term of life on the participating scale on their own lives, or on the lives of others, will alone be considered members, and the bonuses arising from the surplus funds will be applied to the reduction of the future premiums, or in addition to he sums assured. To each policy, as it becomes a claim, will be added its full pro portionate share of the accumulated profits. _ DEBTS —For assurances effected by way of security for loans of money, and in many cases where the least possible present out_ lay is desirable, the premiums of this Society, as detailed in the Table for Short Terms, will be found peculiarly favourable. In assuring the lives of debtors, however, for the whole term of their lives, it is often an important consideration to the creditor, that not only the amount of debt should be secured, but that some means should be adopted for the return of the premiums when the life drops. In many cases the policy is kept on foot by the creditor, who pays the premiums, and thus entails upon himself a certain eventual loss, whenever the life fails, without any hope of remedy. In this Office, however, this contingency is provided against by tables calculated fur the purpose; and creditors who assure the lives of their debtors for the whole term of life, may not only secure the debt, but also the return of all the premiums paid, with a participation in the profits whenever the life fails; and should the claims be paid off previous to the death of the assured, and the assurer wish to surrender the policy, two-thirds of all the premiums paid will be returned. LOANS,—Two-thirds of the gross amount of the Premiums paid, will, after the third years' payment, be at any time lent to the assured, en the deposit of his policy alone, at the rate of 5 per cent. interest, per annum, payable in advance, to be paid off at the convenience of the borrower, or deducted from the amount of assurance at death. But non.payment of interest and premiums will entail the forfeiture of the policy. PURCHASE OF POLICIES. —" Institutions," says Mr. Watt, " have to apprehend most danger from their rivals adopting equitable principles in the . purchase of policies. Hitherto Life Offices have taken a gross advantage of misfortune; that is, a party who is under the necessity of surrendering a life policy, is never allowed from the office a fair consideration for the surrender. The principle of returning the amount of premiums received, ins proved with their annual interest, under deduction of the amount of annual risk and a proportion of the expense of management, has never hitherto been conceded by Life Offices, as a right the assured have to expect from an Assurance Company. Various Offices have been in the habit of making advances to the amount of the office value of the policy, but this does not meet the principle nor the equity of the accommodation. We want the concession of the principle, that a policy-holder may safely be made banker to the Association to the amount his computed premiums exceed in amount the risk run by the Office from year to year." The Directors of this Society now make this concession, and admit the principle. They give the full value, merely deducting the proportion of office expenses, for the surrender of any policies of three years' standing that may be offered to them, thus obviating the fear of serious loss, in the event of the assured not being able to keep up the payments. CREDIT SYSTEM—In addition to the advantages enumerated above, the Society will give credit for one half the annual pre miums during the first five years, the assured having the option of then paying up the remaining half-premiums, or of leaving the amount as a charge on the policy, to be eventually deducted from the assurance at death; thus enabling parties to effect assurances en their lives, and to secure a provision for their families, who might otherwise be compelled to wait till a remote period, when declining health would render them altogether ineligible. POLICIES after five years standing, on being deposited with the Directors, may also be kept in force by the annual payment of half the premium and interest on all arrears, in which case, the remaining portion of the premiums may be deducted from the sum assured, when the policy shall become a claim. DEFERRED ANNUITIES, or PROVISION for OLD AGE. The arrangements made by this Society with regard to Deferred Annuities, or Provision for Old Age, and the combined benefits which they offer, will be found, on reference to the tables, of the very greatest importance to all classes of society. According to Tables XI., XII., and XIII., it will be seen that Annuities may be secured at 50, 55, 60, or 65, with the option of receiving an equivalent in Cash on arriving at the age stipulated ; that two thirds of all I'remiums may be borrowed after the Third Annual Payment ; and that in case of death before the stipulated age, three fourths of all money that has been paid will be returned to the Representatives of the Assured. A Provision of 11. per week in Sickness and Accident up to any age, will be granted out of the moneys contributed by each Mem. ber, after the Third Annual Premium, excepting always 5 per cent. paid into the guarantee fund ; an Annuity of 251. after 65 years of age until death ; and 1001. at death ; or larger amounts in propor tion; thus combining all the most important advantages to which Life Assurance is applicable. ENDOWMENTS. —Sums of Money, or Endowments, may be secured for Children, at the ages of 14 or 21 ; or by Adults at the ages of 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, or at death, if that event happen this plan, parties may themselves before the age specified. B y reap time fruits of their savings, and realise a provision for after life, at an age when they may wish to retire from active duties, or may be incapacitated from continuing their usual avocations; or should death occur previous to the age specified, the full amount will be paid to the representatives. Assurances may also be effected on Joint Lives or Survivorships. From the foregoing remarks it will be seen, that the advan. tages held out by the Tradesman's Life Assurance and National Benefit Society are of paramount importance to the Middle Classes, and to all such as depend on health and industry for Fund the mainte nance and comfort of their families , a s providing a against Sickness and Accident; a protection for Old Age; and a remedy against numerous frightful contingencies, for which a moderate un certain income affords no adequate provision.

IN LIYERPOOL.—THE LIVERP OOL BA NKING COMPANY IN MANCIIESTIIR.—Sir BENJAM IN HEY WOOD, B a rt., and CO' Since the Prospectus of this Railway was issued to the Public, the South-Eastern Company have laid out a Line of Railway from . Ashford, by Canterbury to Ramsgate and Margate, under the powers of their Act of the last Session. This circumstance has induced the Committee to reconsider that part of the Plan, by which was proposed to carry out the Railway from Fever. sham to Ramsgate and Margate by a Coast Line, with a view to the substitution of another Line, which should fall Into the Ash ford branch at or near Canterbury; by such a junction, a direct Railway communication will equally be extended to Ramsgate and Margate, while an important accommodation will also be afforded to Canterbury and its neighbourhood, and the Line itself will be made capable of extension to several other important points on the Coast, which at present have not the benefit of Railway intercourse. The Committee have determined upon this modification after a mature consideration of its advantages, and they have the satisfac tion of knowing that it is In accordance with the wishes of the baba. hitants of the district, through which it is proposed the Line shall pass ; a direct Railway communication will thus be effected be tween Canterbury, Chatham, and Woolwich, and between all those Important Depots and the Metropolis; and the important traffic of Canterbury will be added to the estimated returns of the Company. The Line, as proposed to be modified, will commence, as origi. nally laid down, at London.bridge, and will proceed round Green. wich.park, by Blackheath, Charlton, 'Woolwich, Plumstead, Wick. ham, Bexley Heath, Crayford, Dartford, Stone, and Northfieet, to Gravesend, and thence to Stroed, Rochester, Chatham, and Bromp. ton, crossing the Medway by a permanent bridge, and thence by Rainham, Milton, Sittingbourne and Faversham, to Chilham and Canterbury, falling into the Ashford branch at or near the latter City. The Committee will at the same time apply for powers to com plete the Line to Ramsgate and Margate, in case the South-Eastern Company shall not effectually carry out their Line. The undertaking will remain subject to any modifications which may be considered advisable by the Committee, or be required by the Government. In the original Prospectus, the estimates of cost and traffic were given in detail, showing a return equal to at least eight per cent. upon a capital of 1,500,0001. By the proposed modification of the Line, the capital will be re duced t• 1,250,0001., and by this reduction, and the accession of additional traffic, in consequence of the extension to Canterbury, the Committee feel assured that the profits will be considerably in. creased to the Shareholders. As a proof of the very moderate statements of traffic, upon which the revenue was calculated in the original Prospectus, it may be stated that according to official returns recently promulgated, the number of persons who arrived at, and embarked from, Gravesend, between the Ist of June and the 30th of September, in the present year, a period of four months only, amounted to 1,491,923, ex. ceeding by nearly 200,000 persons, the number assumed in the Prospectus to pass to and from Gravesend in the entire year. The Committee have been induced to defer the allotment of Shares pending the consideration of this contemplated change in the lower part of their Line, and the new survey rendered necessary thereby ; but they now intend to proceed to the allotment imme diately after the 29th inst., and no application for Shares will be received after that day. A deposit of W. per share will be payable on the allotment taking place, and at the same:time the Subscribers' Assent, and Parlia mentary Contract must be signed. . _ The Committee, however, feel so confident in the superiority and advantages of the proposed Line, that they engage to return the whole amount of the deposits, without any deduction, should their Line not be approved of by the Board of Trade. . . -.--.

The nicely-balanced state of parties in Nottingham, and the active measures taken by the leaders on each side, render any information interesting which has a tendency to show how the municipal conflict on the Ist of November will terminate. There are now in the Town Council—of councillors, twenty-two Liberals and twenty Tories ; of aldermen, fourteen Liberals, seven of whom retire next month. The town is di vided into seven wards, in each of which the two parties are nearly equal in number, owing principally to the number of Swiss, who make the most of their votes, and who generally incline to the weakest side, for the purpose of raising prices. Of the fourteen councillors who retire on the first proximo, twelve are Liberals and two are Tories, and that party which can succeed in returning eight members, or win four wards, will have a majority in the Council, and will consequently be enabled to elect the seven aldermen from their own party. This was perceived at the close of the last elections, and from that time both parties have been in the field, keeping, the town in a constant state of excitement. No scheme which could gain a point has been left un tried. The Tories for months have been engaged in paying rates for the lower class of householders, for the purpose of enfranchising them, upon the promise that their votes should be at the disposal of their pay masters ; and it is possible the Liberal party have been compelled to imitate this example. Such a sys tem of machinery has been at work during the whole year, on each side, as never before was brought to bear in municipal matters. All this created much excitement and expectation at the recent municipal revision, and every exertion was used on each side to gain a majority on the register. On the Ist instant, the mayor and assessors, Messrs. Coope and Cowley, met in the Town Hall, to commence the revision of the municipal lists. Mr. John Buttery, jun., assisted by Mr. Bowley, as advocate, appeared on behalf of the Tories, and Messrs. Moore and A. Wells, assisted by Mr. M. Browne, as advocate for the Liberals. The list of claims was first entered upon, and occupied the Court until Wednesday, the 9th. The objections were then proceeded with, and occu pied the Court until Monday evening, the 14th. On the following day the mayor and assessor were en gaged, until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, calling over and completing the lists. The result of the revision is, that, on the claims, Liberals have a majority of twenty-one, 128 being substantiated by the Liberals and 107 by the Tories. Owing to the informality of Gurney's objections for St. Ann's, Byron, and St. Mary's wards, the Conservatives suc ceeded in retaining on the lists many who would otherwise have been struck off. The number ex punged by the Liberals was 100, by the Tories, 189. Many were struck off the lists who supposed they had paid all their rates, but who were found, upon calcu lation, to have paid all but a few pence ; thus they lost their votes by the carelessness or partisanship of the collectors. Since the termination of the revision the Liberals have worked well in the various wards, and the canvas gives them good hope of a successful result, notwithstanding a most unblushing and exten sive system of bribery adopted by the Tories. Some of the candidates talk of spending many thousands ! and no doubt they will do so. MRS.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A POOR MAN'S LIFE SAVED BY HOLLOWAY'S PlLLS.—Jeremiah Laughlin, a porter about the quays of Dublin, was afflicted for years with shortness of breath, spitting of phlegm, night perspira tions, and general weakness of body, a want of appetite, sick head-ache, besides suffering much from the liver. This man was in the second stage of consumption, and not expected to live three months, when he commenced the use of Holloway's wonderful Pills, and by their means alone he is now as strong, as hale, and as well as ever he was in his life. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment) at the Establishment of Professor Holloway, 244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis), and by almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout the civilised world. THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY•LANE.—This noble estab lishment is night after night thronged with beauty and fashion, and the entertainments are in every way worthy of the patronage bestowed upon them.

THE FEDERAL MOVEMENT. DUBLIN OCT. 19.—The Mercantile Advertiser, a commercial journal, seldom taking part in politics, contains the following announcement :—" We have learned that an important movement is in contempla tion, in reference to federal legislation for Ireland. At present it would be premature to enter into de tails ; but, we have been informed, that in the course of the next week decided steps will be taken to bring the subject under public notice." It has been com municated to us that this statement refers to a meet ing of federalists, to be held in Belfast in the course of the next week. The recent letter of Mr. O'Connell is still the chief topic of several of the newspapers here. The Dublin _Evening Mail, replying to the Evening Post, declines all co-operation with the federal movement. " The Conservatives of Ireland (says the Orange organ) deplore the aberrations of the Minister in whom they put their trust ; but they know that that Minister is not the principal of their party confedera tion, nor the embodyment of their party connexion and power ; and they know that if he neither will return to his duty of his own accord, nor be controlled by his friends and supporters into measures more accordant with his original professions, he may—nay, he must, fall—fall by his own hands, and by them alone ; and that his loss will not be missed by a party too wise to weaken itself by disunion, by disruption, by amalgamation with any of the discordant rival elements which surround it. No. The Conserva tives will check—will control—will dismiss, if need be—Sir Robert Peel ; but they ,will not break up their own party—they will not exclude their own principles from power and office, for the sake of help ing Mr. O'Connell to help the Whigs into place. They will stand by the Legislative union to the death, but they will form no federal union between Whigs and Repealers." The Freeman's Journal, the morning repeal organ, thus concludes an article on the subject :—" As to Mr. O'Connell's declaration respecting this national federalism, we know not what anticipated movements, or what just and wise expectation of conciliating par ties, who would not themselves make the first propo sition, may have drawn it forth before the federalists themselves have make any public move. We know, however, that the Irish people justly confide in him, and that he would not unnecessarily distract the power of this people by directing their attention at this moment to a department of thi s international con troversy that it behoves England to look after rather than Ireland. If there did not remain a portion of our own people to be conciliated and won into our ranks, by giving them ample assurance that repeal does not mean separation, O'Connell's motto would still be, ' Let Ireland make sure of the repeal, Eng land will be forward enough to look after the federa. tive connexion." Mr. Duffy, the editor of the Nation, has addressed a letter to Mr. O'Connell, condemning as dangerous and inexpedient any junction of the Repeal Associa tion with the federal movement. The following is the letter : " TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, M.P. " My dear Sir,—As you state in your late important letter to the Association that you are at presen t balancing the respective merits of repeal and fede ralism, I am anxious to throw a few thoughts on the subject loosely before you. If I were still a member of the Association, I would do so there ; as lam not I prefer the familiar medium of a letter to the less kindly and respectful one of a newspaper article. I learned, during the three happy months I spent in Richmond, how considerate you can be of adverse opinions —how courteously you treat, and, and how candidly you weigh them—a circumstance which I would be equally unwilling to forget or abuse. " You are aware that I am not prejudiced against federalism. Last year there was an unjust and un reasoning clamour against it among repealers of great enthusiasm and small capacity. They called it names, made jokes about it, and did everything but try to understand it. At the risk of abuse and misrepre sentation, I, and those working with me in the Aration, stood in the way of this prejudice, claiming the federalists as allies, and demanding soft words and fair treatment for them. We insisted that men of trained intellects, and great personal respectability, who had formed their opinions deliberately, were en titled to have them treated with respect. We asked and obtained for them a recognition of that principle, without which co-operation is impossible—' the right of differing.' It is clear, then, that prejudice is out of the question. " But I confess I should be sorry to see repealers go any further in that direction. The federalists are useful allies, but most unsafe leaders. As we are going the same road, it is good to march cordially along with them; but those who go farthest are clearly entitled to go foremost. We ought not to change or confound our places. " You see I assume, and I think it is capable of easy demonstration, that whether federalism be a better thing than repeal, or a worse thing, it is at all events a totally different thing. " I think it essentially a worse thing. "In the first place, the Imperial Representation,' on which it is based is calculated to pertuate our moral and intellectual subjection to England. It will teach the aristocracy still to turn their eyes to London as the scene of their ambition. It will continue to train them in English manners, feelings, and prejudices; and to establish permanently a centre of action apart from their native country. By the same process it will plant deeper the physical evil of absenteeism. It will compel our Lords and Commons to reside out of the country, and continue the drain upon our re sources, on which you found so strong an argument for repeal. In this respect I think it a .worse cure for absenteeism than Dr. Maunsell's teetotum Par liament. "In the second place it becomes necessary to can vass the use of this imperial representation. Cuibono? We are asked to give up a part of the powers and prerogatives of our domestic legislation to secure an influence in the Parliament of i the empire, and we ought to be shown very distinctly the benefits that will flow from it. how will an Irish minority :then be able to influence a House where it is powerless now ? A strong and substantial claim for domestic legislation arises out of the difference with which our interests are treated by the English majority—what guarantee is there, or can there be, that it will be different hereafter ? This is a subject which I respect fully think claims your earnest attention. " In the third place, federalism, as it is interpreted by some of the soundest men of that party, demands local Parliaments for the three divisions of the em pire, and an imperial one in common. Now, if this principle be insisted upon, federalism is an imprac ticability, for it implies a re-organisation of the Bri tish Constitution. Apart from any other objection to it, it raises a new and tremendous difficulty which does not exist against repeal. IVe want to restore an institution of which we have been robbed ; the federalists, who insist upon pushing their principle as far as it will go, want a reconstruction of the em pire upon a new basis. If lam not deceived in be lieving this to be the object of the party, are we not wooing shipwreck, if we embark in the same boat with them ? " Moreover, some of the federalists do not con template a House of Lords for Ireland. They would give us a legislative council, consisting of one chamber. Here we have a second innovation, and, of course, a second difficulty. They ask a thing foreign to the British Constitution, and a thing which, for that very reason (however good it may be intrin sically), would undoubtedly be refused. But is it good ? It would leave us a demi-Parliament, about as useful relatively to an entire one as half a pair of scissors to the whole ; and it would exile the chief landed proprietors in the country—viz., the Peerage. Very bigoted and heartless that Peerage may be ; but while it possesses the soil of the country, our business is to keep it under home influences. The section of the federalists who would have no Peers in our do mestic legislature, while they would have them in the Imperial Parliament, contrive to make absenteeism a duty. "lederalism appears to attract you chiefly becauser it seems to provide a better security than repeal s fo the connexion with England ; and I amn? t l on ng e party in s s ur on ped ri that at this when I recollect your strongfee subject. But you (or Ireland) the other; but other; and she is this transaction ; England is keen and selfish enough to secu re her own interets, w h a tever form the alliance may take. You are the ' ar bit ra tor, not for both countri es, but for Ireland. Th e ge ntlemen on the other side will take care of the stability of the bargain. "Federalism has undoubtedly the advantage of re peal in one point : it is less hated—ignorance and Prejudice have not blown it. Anti-repealers are not trained to regard it as a raw-head-and -bloody-bones. They look with comparative calmness upon it, and are certainly more likely to become reconciled to it than to repeal. But it would not be in a better, but a worse condition, for effecting this purpose, if the national party adopted it to a man. The Lords used to think it an excellent logical reason for rejecting 1, ,e6 / 727 13111 s, that they were countenanced by O'Connell; and I fear party prejudice at home would treat fede ralism in the same way. To be misunderstood and misrepresented, is the tax upon greatness ; and since you are a millionaire, you cannot complain of being taxed in proportion. " But it has this advantage, It has on the other hand the pervading and incurable evil of aiming in the wrong direction. Its prevailing idea is England, as that of repeal is Ireland. The two principles might be represented by lines running parallel, but tending to opposite directions. Which you will choose, upon mature deliberation, I have little doubt. " Forgive me if I take a step further, and question the policy of embracing federalism. This is beside my original purpose ; but as no sovereign prince of the world of public opinion was ever more tolerant of counsel, I do not fear that you may dismiss my sug gestions without seine consideration. At all events, since I have been a pseudo martyr, I have some kind of claim to be a real confessor. " I am fully convinced, then, that if federalism were desirable, it would be retarded, not advanced, by the national party falling back upon it. With all respect for the federalists, it must be said that they , are haunted by a petty and ridiculous fear of agita tion. Perhaps they have not the vigour for it— perhaps their habits disincline them to publicity—but, at all events, they have always kept carefully a day's march behind the people. If you had commenced by asking federalism three years ago, the majority of these men would be speculating at this hour upon `justice to Ireland,' and the restoration of the Whigs. This may not be true of individuals, but it is true of the party ; and I prophecy that, if you ever, by any chance, fall back upon their ground, you will find it deserted. Federalism is the shadow of repeal—it re cedes and advances with it, and you cannot get nearer to it or farther from it. " Again, they are a juste milieu party, between re pealers and anti-repealers—the precise convenience which the Ministry and the people may require to open a negotiation. Sir Robert Peel could offer to Mr. Caulfield or Mr. Porter what he dare not offer to Daniel O'Connell—for the English aristocracy will never forgive you your triumphs. Would it not be well to leave this bridge where it stands ? _ _ " I learn from the Whig journals, and from the report in all men's mouths, that the federalists are about to make a decided movement, embracing men that we had no hope of twelve months ago. This is well—it strengthens you tenfold in overthrowing the present system; but it leaves the policy of a junction with them where it got it. That must stand or fall upon other grounds. " I do not gather from your letter that if you settled down into a preference for federalism, you con template proposing the adoption of that principle by the Association. I earnestly hope you do not. Either the adoption or rejection of it would be an evil—the rejection of it as a breach of discipline towards you, the leader of the movement ; the adoption of it, upon many serious grounds. " 1. The overwhelming majority of the members — clergymen and laymen—joined as repealers ; it would be all but impossible to collect their suffrages on the proposed change, and no chance meeting at the Con ciliation-hall would be entitled to alter the fundamen tal principle upon which the body was organised and supported. 2. The Committee of the Association is, I take it, no more entitled to abrogate its constitution, than the Irish Parliament was to abolish its functions. The great constituency outsid.? is, in both cases, the body in whom alone the power resides. "3. Any such general change would weaken the moral weight of the Association. In an individual a deliberate preference of a new opinion to an old one may argue courage, candour, and magnanimity; in a nation it is generally a sign of weakness ; and in our case, surrounded by enemies at home and abroad, it is sure to receive the worst interpretation. " Finally, need I say that I regard the federalists, as I have always done, with respect, and that I quar rel with their opinions no more than is necessarily im plied in preferring better ones. Forgive me for occupying you so long, but the im portance of the subject will excuse a worse offence. — Believe me, my dear Sir, very faithfully yours, " CHARLES GAVAN DUFFY. " Ilathmines, Oct. 18, 1844." UNIVERSITY FOR ALL SECTS. Two or three weeks since a rumour prevailed in the Tory circles, that Sir Robert Peel has it in con templation to propose a large grant for the establish ment of a new university for the education of Roman Catholics and Dissenters, as well as members of the Established Church ; and that, independently of this new lay college, the annual grant for the education of the Roman Catholic clergy, in Maynooth, is to be increased. The Statennan, an ultra-Tory journal in the interest of the High Church' party, thus refers to the sub ject :—" A rumour has . been for some time gaining ground, that a sum of 100,0001. will be asked for and (as a matter of course) granted in next session of Par liament fur the erection of a great university in Ire land, in which cheap education will be afforded in a system of secular instruction, in which also profes sors of all denominations (Roman Catholics and Uni tarians) will be eligible, and ;where degrees of all kinds will be conferred." THE NEW DEAN. The Queen's letter has been received, ratifying the appointment of the Reverend Dr. Collins to the vacant deanery of Killala. The Government have not yet had the courage to sustain their own policy by promoting a clergyman friendly to the national system of education.

MISSIONERS. At the meeting of the Limerick Board of Guardians, on Wednesday, William Monsen, Esq., chairman, the Earl of Clare and Augustus Stafford d'Brien,Esq., at tended to complete the arrangements assigned to them, and to wind up the business of the late board. There was no communication from the commis sioners. Letters were read from the unions of Dunman way, Listowel, Kinsale, and Edenderry, approving of the course adopted by the Limerick board, and a let ter from Rathkeale union, stating that that board had resigned to a man. Mr. A. S. O'BRIEN said they would prove them selves unworthy of the confidence the board had re posed in them, if they exceeded the limits of the specific business assigned them, and the absence of every member of that board except themselves was sufficient proof that the step taken on the last day met with the approbation of all. Lord CLARE concurred in all that fell from Mr. O'Brien. The officers of the house were then all called up, and received their final orders for the regulation of the house till further arrangements should be made for governing the institution. A month's provisions were ordered. Number of paupers in the house, 991. It will be seen from the following letter of Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., that the Newcastle board are determined to follow in the wake of Limerick : " Cahermoyle, Oct. 17, 1844. My dear*Monsell,—l think it right that you should be apprised that the Newcastle board of guar dians have deferred their resignation, not from any indisposition to support the Limerick board in their laudable resistance to the encroachments made by the poor-law commissioners upon the functions of poor law guardians, but because we were anxious that such resignation should be adopted in full delibera tion, and with the unanimous concurrence of the whole board. All the guardians present at our meet ing, held on Tuesday, have signified their intention of resigning in case the commissioners do not rescind so much of the 41st article of their late general order as relates to the control of boards of guardians over their clerks. I sincerely trust that the example of the Limerick board will be universally followed throughout the kingdom. " Believe me yours very sincerely, "WILLIAM S. O'BRIEN. " To Wm. Monsell, Esq." The guardians of the Ennis poor-law union have passed a resolution cordially agreeing with the Li merick guardians in their opposition to the claim of the commissioners to have control over the clerk of the board. This has now become a very serious quarrel, and, no doubt, will lead to some discussion in the next ses sion of Parliament. THE PARLIAMENTARY REGISTRIES.
