GREAT ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSU RANCEB, Waterloo-pipe, Pall-m a ll, COMPANY, and 2, Charlotte-row, Mansion kouse, London. This Company, establish e d b y A ct o f P ar li amen t, a ff or d s th e most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re quires, whoa an Insurance is for the whole period of life, one half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the date of the Pelisy, the other half may remain, subject to the payment of ik„tcrst at 5 per cent. annually, to b e -deducted at death, or may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first iv* years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 291. 161. 3d. for the first five years, secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,000/., subject only to the deduction of 144/. Is. 3d , being the amount of premium unpaid. This Company holds out, in various other respects, great inducements to the public. When such facilities are afforded, it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family.

Sir R. H. Bromley addressed the meeting in favour of the existing system of the Corn-laws, which he described as advantageous both to the agricultural and manufacturing interests. He was followed by Mr. Bennett Martin, a former Liberal, who spoke on the same side, and was succeeded by Mr. Norton, who had also formerly been a Liberal—these were all the Pro-Corn law speakers. Mr. S. Bristow propOsed an amendment, stating that the operation of the Corn-laws was prejudicial; this was carried by a majority of sto 2. The She riff, notwithstanding stated the original motion to have been carried, and a petition grounde on it was proposed this was met by a counter-petition, which was carried by a still larder majority, notwithstanding which the Sheriff persisted in stating that the original petition was carried— whereupon a vote of censure was passed upon the Sheriff, and handed to him.

The Times of this morning, in the course of a leading article on Mr. Wynn's motion last night for a new writ for Southwark, says :—" Government have managed this mat ter with dexterity. They probably have no great desire to keep Mr. Harvey in the House; indeed, their appointment of him to the Conductorship of the Omnibuses was obvi ously made with a view to get him out of the way ; for though he has little ability for doing business, he has a remarkable and comical knack at spoiling it ; and he often contrives, by saying droll, quaint things, to make them and their measures excessively ridiculous. But then, on the other hand, they dare not irritate, by openly opposing him. -The best way therefore was to get rid of the awkwardness of voting at all upon his title to sit, by throwing the responsibility on a Committee." Alluding to Lord Mabon's motion on Thursday night, upon Election Committees, the Times expresses itself favourable to Sir R. Peel's plan, and adds, " we adhere with zealous hope to the recommendation that a competent and influen tial Assessor (we would:rather call him by the higher title of a Judge) be an adjunct and necessary part of every Election Committee to be appointed under Sir Robert Peel's Bill." The Morning Herald has a leading article on the speeches made at the meeting in Palace-yard, by the Anti- Corn-law Delegates on Wednesday last. The Herald is more happy than usual in the vigour of its attacks on these gentlemen, especially Mr. Wslmsley, but to be vigorous is not to be argumentative; and sarcasm is but a poor sub stitute for common sense. Our Contemporary, speaking in another article, of the conversations which took place last night in the House of Peers, between Lords Durham, Melbourne, and Glenelg, is pleased to express the loftiest scorn for the political abilities of Lord Durham. The Morning Chronicle, alluding to the appearance in the Times of Lord Durham's Report, says, " the manner in which the publication of this Report is carped at, night after night, is anything but creditable to their Lordships. There is but one opinion with respect to the Report—that it is one of the most valuable Papers ever laid before Par. li.ment ; and all who have the interest of the empire at heart, must rejoice that the Report opens so fair a pro spect of placing the connexion between the parent State and these valuable colonies on a footing, which, by con ducing to the welfare of both, can alone insure its perma nency." The Morning Advertiser, referring to Lord Durham's Report, observes, " there is no mode available for the pre servation of the Canadas but a general revision and ameli oration of their institutions; there will undoubtedly be much difficulty in reconciling the enmities of the rival races; but the enmities would gradually die away, as soon as both parties found themselves admitted to an equal par ticipation of rights." The Morning Post, in a leading article on the subject of Lord Mahon's sdeech in the Commons on Thursday, respecting an improved tribunal for the trial of controverted elections, says, " We hope Sir Robert Peel's Bill will be actively proceeded with, end that those who preferred the course adopted by Lord Mahon, will not hold back from giving their assistance towards making the new measure as completely remedial us the circumstances of the case will permit." rHE LATE MURDER AT OTTER- DEN, KENT. APPREHENSION OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER. Yesterday morning, and also during the previous even ing, an unusual degree of excitement prevailed throughout Somers' Town, owing to the fact of the supposed murderer of Mrs. Hannah Giles, of Otterden, Kent, having been apprehended and locked up in the S division station house, situate in Phcanix-street. It will be re membered that the sanguinary deed was effected in the evening of the fd instant, at a short distance from the dwelling of the unfortunate female who was discovered lying dead on a heagtof soo: by the roadside, with a bullet wound in her left breast, and her throat cut in a most hor rible manner from ear to ear. The sheath of a razor and a pocket pistol were found beside her, and, from inquiries subsequently made, it appeared that the weapon last al luded to had been sold by a blacksmith to a young man named Samuel Seeger, a shoemaker, between whom and the deceased an intimacy had formerly existed. Seeger, who suddenly absented himself from Otterden on the discovery of the murder was at once suspected to be the guilty party, and a:description of his person was accord ingly advcrtized in the hue and Cry, with the offer cf a handsome reward for his apprehension. Harley, an active constable of the district in which the crime was perpe trated, and who has been unceasing in his exertions to se cure Scagar, at length succeeded in his object, and on Wednesday evening took him into custody, at Coleshill, near Birmingham, to which place he travelled on foot, in tending to obtain work on the Railway; ho seemed greatly agitated, and at first said that his name was Rogers, but af terwards admitted it to be Seeger; he denied all know ledge of the murder, and was locked up in the gaol for the night, in the course of which he made a desperate attempt to strangle himielf with his leather boot-laces. On the following morning he was brought up by the train to Euston-square, and conveyed by the constable to the station-house, in Phcenix-street, before referred to, where he was constantly watched, until, to prevent any further attempt upon his life, he was yesterday morning, at ten o'clock conveyed away in a cab, handcuffed, accompanied by Harley, his captor, who, without loss, of time took him off to Kent, by the Faversham coach. A considerable crowd of persons assembled round the sta tion to witness his departure. The account volun tarily given by him respecting the pistol was, that he hid it behind• a hay-rick in the vicinity of Otterden. in consequence of his mother having threatened to throw it into the fire, and that he knew not by whom it could have been taken from the spot mentioned. His age is about 30, and his height 5 feet 5 inches ; he was dressed in a shooting jacket, black waistcoat, and drab corded trowsers, and his countenance by no means be likened a sanguinary disposition. We have received from a friend in Leith, a noti fication which indicates a belief that there will speedily be a vacancy in the representation of the burghs. As there is no immediate chance of such a circumstance occurring, it appears to us quite unnecessary to enter on any subject which it would be of no practical use to dis cuss, except in the prospect of a speedy election.—Scots•nan. • - KNOIVLSL EL—The Earl of Derby, we regret to state, continues an invalid.• His Lordship is able to raise his right hand, and daily franks letters, but he writes unsteadily, arid with some difficulty. Lady Charlotte Penrylin 'has arrived, on a visit to the Noble Lord. The Hon. Captain and Mrs. Stanley have left for town.

His Lordship, if sufficiently recovered, will leave for town next month. tr be invested with the Order of the Garter. • DREAD OF (THE) CHARLES MATHEWS.- 1 .-- In January, 1818, Mr. Mathews was performing an engagement at Edinburgh. In recounting his adventures in that town, he says, " I was placed in a most awkward situation in the courts of law on Saturday. Erskine (the late Lord Kinnedar), while pleading, glanced his eye towards me, stopped, laughed, and shook his fist at me. I blushed up to the eyes. When he sat down, I observed he wrote a note with a pencil to the Judge, Lord Gillies. He craned his neck directly to look at me, and when he came out of Court, Erskine said, What the devil brings you here, mon,—you spoilt my speech—l canna afford to be taken off. Did you observe Lord Gillies look at you ? I wrote him a card, and told him to be upon his guard as 1 was, or we shou ld both be upon the stage before sup per to night.' "—L(fe of Charles Mathews. Mr, CLoss stated that having heard of the result of the meeting at Newark, and that the High Sheriff had behaved in a partial manner, he (Mr. Close) had waited on the Under-Sheriff, who resides at Not- tingham, to ask him if the High Sheriff had signed the petition, when he was informed that acting under the advice of the Under-Sheriffs he had not signed it. Thus the petition could only be considered as the petition of the individuals whose signatures it bore, and not as emanating from a County meeting. At the close of the proceedings Mr. Close stated h!s belief that the High Sheriff must have been labouring under some mistake, as he knew him to be too respectable a man to be guilty of a wilful mis-statement. _ . Dr. BowatNo stated that the enormously high prices to which wheat and other provisions had risen during his residence in Egypt, induced Colonel Campbell—who in this, as on all occasions, most cordially co-operated in every good work—and himse f to make a representation to the Viceroy on the consequlences of his monopoly, as affecting the principal article of subsistence, and to show to his Highness that famine itself would visit Egypt unless the ports were opened to, and the restrictions removed from, the importation of foreign corn. His Highness bad supposed that by fixing a maximum price he could obtain mastery over the markets and supply the consumers from his own stores, We were so fortunate as to convince him that no authority, however absolute, could contest the laws of supply and demand, and that the safest, as well as the wisest legisla tion, was to allow the free ingress and egress of corn. We had the happiness of seeing the decree issued by which that freedom was established, whose consequences were, as we had foretold, a rapid decline of price, and an abundant sup ply of food, and the correspondence which be (Dr. B.) held in his hand, which he received last night from Egypt, showed that the districts in which he had left misery and wretchedness were now in the possession of abundance. He would take occasion to remark on the statements of Mr. Walmesly as to the unwarrantable alarms of the agricul tural interest from the free importation of corn. They had far more protection than they were probably aware of. In no country in the world did land contribute so small a portion of the public revenues. In Egypt the minimum land-tax was is per acre, the maximum 145., the average land-tax more than 10s. ; now the average price of corn in the capital of Egypt was not more than 15s. per qr. Now what would the agriculturists ofEnglaud say if they had to pay in land tax two-thirds of the value of a quarter of wheat per annum? In England itself land was formerly the main source of taxation—and so it continues to be in almost every part of the world !--( Hear, hear. ) Mr. EWART suggested that Delegates should acquaint the Secretary with the names and addresses of those gentle men to whom it was desirable to furnish copies of the agri cultural questions. :fir. G. W. Wool), M. P., stated that he had received a petition from Kendal for presentation. Mr. CLOSE stated that he had brought up a pe tition from Nottingham praying for the total and immediate repeal of file Corn-laws, and also to be heard by evidence at the bar of the House ; the petition embraced and carried out the magnanimous principle of free trade, and although probably no trade would be so likely to suffer as the peculiar manufactures of Nottingham, yet they express their utter dislike to, and re pudiation of, the mischievous principles of legislative pro tection. The CHAIRMAN bad received a letter from the Secretary of the Manchester Anti-Corn-law Association, stating that petitions would be presented from the different trades of that town most numerously signed, and that in the greater number of cases the petitioners had also stated their residences. Mr. AIKEN stated that the petition trom Liverpool had received upwards of twenty five thousand signatures, and that no petition from that place had ever before been so numerously or so respectably signed. Mr. BARKER stated that the petition from Preston would be here on Monday. The_ CHAIRMAN suggested the propriety of presenting b o y m b e e t o w f e the en p 2 e 0 petition s a t n ii d is 3 e o v , e o n o i n o g. persons—( The DELEGATE from the Tower Hamlets said there pes—( Hear, hear)— would be a petition from that part of the metropolis, signed and ho wished to know by what time it should be ready for presentation ? The CHAIRMA said it should be ready, at the furthest, by Tuesday. Mr JOHNSON said there would be a petition from the Town Council of Derby, to be presented by. Mr. Strutt.—( Hear.) Also a petition agreed to at a public meeting, and more numerously signed than any which had ever before been presented from Derby.— ( Hear, hear.) Mr. Strutt intended, if he was permitted, to make some observations upon that petitiou, explanatory of the probable effect of the repeal of the Corn-laws on the different trades in the town.—( Hear. ) Mr. GREG said ho had received a letter from a manu facturer in the country relative to the apprehensions en tertained by-the working•classes on the subject of the repeal of the Corn-laws tending to a reduction in the by wages of labour, consequent on the red uction in the price of food. " Considerable injury had bee n done to the cause its advocates resting too much upon th e argittnent,—which in the main was erroneous ; that cheap corn, consequent upon free importation, will enable our ma nufacturers to compete advantageously with foreigners, by reducing the cost of production of the manufactured article. Now, cheap corn can only reduce the cost of production by causing a reduction in the wages of labour. But the effect of the repeal of the Corn-laws would certainly be (if there be any truth in the anticipations of its advocates), to prevent wages being reduced, or, at all events, to postpone perhaps indefinitely the period of their reduction. By using the above argument, therefore, we render ourselves vulnerable to the assaults of our adversaries by resting on a false position, and alienate from our cause the • labouring popula tion, who cannot be expected to be very earnest in a m l o ab d o ifi u e r d , b a y nd th t e he cause which its supporters tell them would be that of re duced wages." The fact is, that in the present con dition of our country, the wages of labour are not at all eithe r re g ulated or food,of the bu but ti tradere l yb y i nh h the w h d i e e m demand for e price prosperityof labourers are employed. During the last fire years, while the price of corn has been unusually low, the wages of manufacturing labour have been slightly, but steadily, on the increase. When the profits of trade are entirely swept away, wages will be reduced, whether the Corn-laws are repealed or not. Till then wages will not be reduced, though corn should be sold for five shillings a quarter. If, as we hope and believe, the repeal of the Corn-laws opens new mar kets for our industry, and new returns for our manufac tures, and gives thereby a new stimulus to trade, the operation. of the measure will certainly be rather to pre vent than to produce any reduction of wages, and in conse quence rather to enhance than diminish the cost of produc tion. It seems, therefore, advisable to abandon this fal lacious argument, as untenable, and therefore injurious to our cause. The beneficial effect of a repeal of the Corn laws - on our manufactures , will be two-fold :—to open t us markets which are now closed, and to increase the wages of labour, and divert capital from manufactures in countries that now compete with us.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. BARKER said be wished publicity could be given to the following excellent passage from " Reasons for a repeal of the Corn-laws"—(Published by the Delegates) : " While we oppose the monopolies created for the supposed benefit of others, we ask for no monopoly for ourselves. We want no protection, but the common and equal pro tection of just government to person, property, and to in dustry. Our claim is Justice; and that claim involves— Freedom of Industry and Freedom of Trade."—( Cheers. ) It was agreed that it would be desirable that some of the Anti- Corn-law petitions should be presented to the House of Commons that evening. The Delegates then separated. For a stenlet—a fish common in the Black Sea not much larger than a good salmon—a nobleman, or even a mer chant, at St. Petersburg, has been known on great occasions, to pay 1,200 roubles (501.) and 300 or 400 roubles are not uncommon prlces. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 15, Northampton square, Feb. 14, 1839. SIR,—I ought to apologise for occupying your co lumns with matter of little importance, ccPp . ratively with the great subjects that no w en g ross pubLe atten tion. I should not have done so, but for an addre,;,'s in ' one of your publications of last week, signed by thre,.' Gentlemen, professing to be the auditors of the accounts of the Church Rate Abolition Society. I regret exceed ingly, that men of character, and of religions reputation, should attempt to throw the shield of their character over transactions which they ought to be among the first to expose and repudiate. I do not mean now to discuss the policy which the Committee of that Society have for nearly two years adopted, of doing little or nothing ; this is matter of opinion, mine is more a matter-of-fact object ; and not withstanding the high ground assumed by these Auditors, I do most fearlessly and unequivocally assert, that there has been gross MISMANAGEMENT and MISAP PLICATION in the administration of the Funds of this Society. From the formation of the Committee up to Oct'o ber, 1838, no audit of the account had ever taken place, the sum of 1,2781. had been received and expended en tirely on the personal responsibility of the Secretary. There was no check whatever, on the part of the Committee, and it was not until the audi tors met, that any of the Committee were in possession of the particulars of the accounts which had been paid ; and the business of the audi tors was, with two exceptions only, to compare the amounts paid with the Treasurer's accounts—there Was no choice, no opinion as to the propriety of the Society's paying certain accounts, which were ques tionable—no referring back to the Comipittee to see by whose authority these debts were contracted. No ; they were paid, and the audit was a mere delusion. Among the accounts paid were many very objection , able ones ; and I shall feel it to be my duty, whenever a public meeting is called, to attend and take the sense of that meeting upon the accounts generally. One charge, which struck me as clearly a case of misappli cation, was a considerable sum paid for reporting pub lic meetings an church-rate subjects ; in fact, reports for the Patriot Newspaper. One of the accounts unpaid at the time of the audit, was of this description ; and both the Auditors refused to sign that account at the first meeting, but were in duced subsequently to do so, on ascertaining that the ' Report had been ordered in the name of the Society. Surely, Mr. Editor, if the Church-rate Abolition So ciety were to pay the Reporters of any Newspaper, ' your Reports were much more entitled to be paid for than those of the Patriot. I could go on enumerating other charges equally ob jectionable, such as " Hire of a carriage for the Secre tary's journey," &c. &c. ; but I decline doing so, as I think I have a right to insist that no idle fears of injur ing the cause of abolition should prevent the accounts being at once laid before the public. A word to these auditors.—One of the gentlemen is a new member of the Committee ; another is a member of the Committee that seldom attended its meetings ; how his name became attached to the document in guts tion--4 leave hint to explain. The third gentle man was my co-auditor in October last ; and I put it distinctly to him, if he did not, when the account against the Society, in the ledger of the Patriot newspaper, was produced, an erasure nearly in every line, declare, as a lawyer, " that he should be sorry to go into Court with any cause supported by such evidence ;" and if it was not by his suggestion that the audit was adjourned for a week, to enable the Secretary to put the accounts into a shape to be understood ? There ought to be no longer any mistake about this Society. It was notorious among the friends of aboli tion that the Secretary had run away with the Com mittee. The Committee was called together just as it suited his purposes. On some occasions six months elapsed without a single meeting ; and even last year, when it is professed there has been so much cor respondence on Church-rate matters, there was no meeting of the Committee from May till October. Surely if there was much to be done the -Committee might have been called together, and some of these " interesting communications" read to them, if they were not consulted on the answers to be sent in their name. Few men like to be made such mere utensils of as this, and before the Church-rate Abolition Society can rally, it must be taken out of the present hands and put into the hands of a real, o stensible, active Com mittee. R. BESLEY, IVIARYLEBONE BOARD OF GUARDIANS. THE LATE REVOLTING OUTRAGE ON THE PAD DINGTON CANAL. Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the Board of Directors and Guardians of the parish of St. Marylebene, the subject of the tale diabolical outrage on the young female Susan Gale, aged 19, by tin ce ruffians comic cted with one of the fly.boats on the Padiiii , gt on canal, was brought before the notice of the Board, that unfortunate young creature being an inmate of the Workhouse-infirmary. j • Mr. Joseph wished to know if any report was in preparation relative to the poor girl's case as to the causes which led to her ad.. mission into that house, the infamous outrage having been perpe trated upon her in the parish of Paddington. He could lissure the board he hail not mentioned this subject for the purpose of getting the poor creature ejected from the house ; but merely for the purpose of ascertaining how she came to be admitted. As a medical man, he begged to state that her situation was the most heartrending and de?lorable, as the results of the brutal treatment by the boat ruffians (two of whom,?ie was happy to :say, were mow in custody), was, that the unfortunate girl was now laid up in one of the wards of their Infirmary, labouring under a disease of a most virulent description ; in fact, so bad was her condition, that he feared it would be several weeks before she would be entirely conva!eseent, and able to go out. Mr. Thorn said, the unfortunate young woman hail beta taken in there at the req uest of the Magistrates of High Street Police_ office, before who m her case was heard, she being at th e time . in so low a condition from the effects of the brutal treatment she hrd received, that she was unable to proceed further. Mr. Joseph said, was he then to understand that the poor girl was r. dmittcd as if she had been labouring under an accident p Mr. Gibson said, he thought he could throw some light upon the subject, as also put the Board in possession of some interesting facts relative to the unfortunate girl in question. At the conclusion of the hearing of her case at High-street, the Magistrate recom_ mended her to be brought to the workhouse, as she was in a state of complete exhaustion. The Rota was then sitting, and deeming the case a most urgent one, she was at once admitted. Since she had been an inmate the inspector of police who h ai l succeeded in capturing two of the villains, had sent down to Stone. bridge, in Wiltshire, where the girl stated she had come from, and found that her father and mother-in.law lived there, through the later of whom she was sent to town by a waggon. It had further been traced that the unfortunate victim would, on attaining her majority, become entitled to property to the amount of 1501. or °ON. per annum, so he thought the will would not be likely to loSe anything by the attention they had paid to her. Mr. Joseph said he understood it was the intention of the Magis trates, if possible, to get her attendance at High-street on Tuesday to identify the two men now in custody, and the third, if he was_ caught. He was afraid, however, she would not be able, although the medical officers were using every exertion to rectver her. If, however, she did go, he hoped, as the poor girl would have no on& to stand by her on so tr, ing an occasion, that some of the members of that board would be present. Several members having volunteered their services, the Board broke up. LAW INTELLIGENCE. Q UEEN'S BENCH, Fos. 15. THE QUERN V. WRENCH AND OTHERS. Mr. THESIGER, Mr. ERLE, Mr. HUMPHREY, and MR.

This was a prosecution instituted by the Coopers' Company against the defendants, who are the Directors of the British Gas Light Com pany for a nuisance committed by them in the manufacture of gas at their works in School-House lane. After Mr. THESIGER had stated the nature of the case, Lord DENMAN suggested the propriety of referring it. Counsel having conferred together for a considerable time, with. out being able to come to any arrangement, Lord DENMAN suggested that some person should be empowere d to inquire whether the defendants were guilty of a nuisance, and enter a verdict accordingly—if guilty, to direct in what manner the works should be carried on in future, and to decide between the defendants and the Company whether, and on what terms, the de.. fendants should purchase any land, and what quantity of land. The terms were agreed to with some trifling variations, and Mr. Biggs Andrews was appointed arbitrator. DELISSER V. TOWNE.—SPECIAL JURY. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Sir F.
