TANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 3, GEORGE-STREET, EDINBURGH, 89., KING WILLIAM.STREET, LONDON. The NINETEENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING wag held om Monday, the 16th of December, in terms of the Act of Parliament by which the Company is constituted— GEORGE PATTON, Esq., Advocate, in the Chair. The Report and Statements as to the affairs of the Company submitted cc this occasion were highly satisfactory to all connected with the Institution; and the Chairman, in an address to the Meet ing, directed particular attention to the following very gratifying results:— The number of Policies Issued singly during the year is 562. The Assurances proposed to the Company during the year exceed the large sum of HALF A MILLION STERLING—the Assurances effected being nearly 400,000 i., adding from that source alone about 13,1,00/. per annum to the Company's revenue from Premiums. Large transactions have also been effected in other departments of the business. The Company's investments continued to be upheld at a high rate of interest on unexceptionable security, chiefly Government and Heritable, and notwithstanding the great increase of the Company's funds, the return secured still shows an advantage of nearly per cent. in favour of the Company above the rate calculated ou in their Tables for Life Assurance. The number of lives which have fallen during the year amount only to one per cent. on the number of the Assured standing on the books. AND, IN ADDITION TO THESE RESULTS, The Company have added, by an advantageous arrangement, 927 policies to their lists, through a transference of the business of the YORK AND LONDON ASSURANCE COMPANY. The Reports and Statements were unanimously approved of; and the Chairman, after drawing attention to the important posi tion which the Company now occupy among the Assurance Insti tutions of this country, and the fact of the Company never having disputed or compromised a claim, concluded by congratu. lating all parties on the satisfactory results exhibited, and took the opportunity of calling attention to the important fact that the THIRD DIVISION of PROFITS among the Policy Holders was to take place in November, 1845. He was certain that the advan. tage of joining the Participation Scheme of the Company, before the balar.ce was struck, would not be lost sight of by intending assurers, and he felt confident that there would be much reason for further congratulation when they next met together. The MANAGEMENT was declared to stand as follows for the ensuing year: GOVIULN,R. The Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUCH and QUEENSIIERRY. DE PUTY-GOVER NOR. The Right Hon. the Earl of ELGIN and KINCARDINE.

THIRD DIVISION OF PROFITS. The Third Investigation of the Company's Affairs, with refer. since to the approaching Division of Profits, is now in progress; and parties assuring before the close of the lists in November, 1845, will participate. Looking to the prosperous condition of the Company, and the large additions to Policies declared to 1835 and 1840, there are great inducements to Parties assuring to give the Standard a pre ference.

The vast regions of Central South America are se parated from this country, and indeed from the whole of Europe, by such an extreme diversity of manners and of political condition that we have long ceased to pay them as much attention as our own commercial interests in that part of the globe would of themselves deserve. Yet if we are obliged to confess that European politicians have neglected the rest field which the emancipation of the southern Spanish colonies was supposed to have opened to liberty and civilization, it must at the same time bo acknowledged that the rank native growth of the soil has choked the seeds we had hoped to plant there, and that if our attention is recalled to these parts of the New World, it is only by wars or revolutions, carried on by the most revolting means, and to the most unprofitable end. Meanwhile, however. the progress of the successive military rulers of these unhappy countries in all the enormities of crime and of mis government has been so rapid and so astounding, their persecutions have become so monstrous and sanguinary, not only against the scanty Indian po pulation of those wilds, or the turbulent rivals of their usurped authority, but against Europeans who may have fallen under their suspicions, or even sought to elude their v i o l ence , th a t i t i s hi g h time for more civilised nations to assert their rights, and to check a series of atrocities which, for cruelty and duration are literally unparalleled in the history of mankind. The Rio de la Plata is one of those great ?estuaries of the American continent which seem destined by Providence to open as it were inland seas to commerce and naviga tion, whilst the vast extent of the rivers which unite their waters in the mighty stream form a system of in ternal communication throughout the continent from the Cordillera of the Andes to the sea. So great are the natural opportunities of the country, that, in spite of the insufficiency of the sparse and needy population, consi derable trading interests have risen up at Monte Video, on the left, and at Buenos Ayres on the right, bank of the river, and a large population of English, French, and Italian traders are living under the Monte Videan Government, where they have taken refuge from the violence of the Government on the opposite shore ; but their operations are impeded, their persons are endangered, and the independent existence of the Banda Oriental is threatened, by the exterminating, though unsuccessful war carried on against it by Rosas and Oribe in the name of the Argen tine Republic. A recent event has shown the utter futility of extending to such States as these the laws and observances used amongst civilised nations; for one or two guns from the United States frigate Congress dissipated what was called the blockading squadron of the Argentine Republic in half an hour, and any well armed merchantman might have done the same. But we have reason to hope that a more imposing and effec tual intervention on the part of the principal Powers in terested in the trade of the River Plate will eventually take place. The Governments of Brazil and of England, acting in conjunction with that of France, are said to contemplate measures which will at least secure the tran quillity and independence of the Banda Oriental, and impose terms more favourable to the security of trade on the Dictator of Buenos Ayres. The Government of Rio Janeiro has shown, in the proposals which it has recently made to England on this subject, a spirit of confidence and goodwill towards us which by no means verifies the sinister predictions of the Opposition as to Viscount d'Abrantos's mission. It is probable that the ar rival of Mr. Gore Ouseley, who has recently been ap pointed to succeed Mr. Mandeville as the Minister ac credited by Great Britain to the States of La Plata, will speedily remove the obstacles to trade on the river, es pecially when it is found that he is to be supported, if necessary, in the most effectual manner by England, Brazil, and France. The intervention of England in these questions is not attracted by the internal vices of the South American Governments, but by the necessity of protecting our own mercantile interests there ; but, we trust, that in proportion as these Governments are im pressed with the necessity of remaining at peace, and of respecting the rights of foreign nations, they will also learn that they cannot aspire to the countenance and amity of England, or of any European Power, unless they acknowledge the laws of humanity, and observe, even towards their rivals, some show of moderation and justice. We employ no figure of speech when we say, that we are at a loss for words to convey to our readers any adequate conception of the barbarous acts im puted to the Argentine Government, that is, to Rosas, and his satellites Oribe, the Friar Aldao, and the club of the Masorqueros, a body . of men ex pressly enrolled for the perpetration of the mast san guinary crimes. It is true that at no very distant period the natural talents of Rosas, his resolution, and his apparent devotion to the interests of his country, inspired some Englishmen of station and character with a sort of respect for his government, and of indulgence for his earlier excesses. But that time is long since past, if we are to believe an hundredth part of the frightful catalogue of atrocities which we have now before us in the pages of the Tablas de Sangre, or " Tables of Blood," and these facts, though published by his ene mies, are many of them attested by eye-witnesses, whose evidence we have reason to believe. Since Rosas raised himself to the supreme power in 1835, down to the close of the year 1843, it has been computed by Senor In darte, the author of these " Tables," that he, or his immediate followers, have put to death by poison four persons ; by cutting the throat, 3,763 ; by shooting, 1,393 ; by private assassination, 722 ; whilst in the murderous civil wars of the last ten years nearly 15,000 men have been slain, every battle being followed by a butchery of prisoners, and 1,600 captives or wounded men have been put to death by the lance. One of the first acts of Rosas, on the Bth of July, 1236, was to cause 110 Indians, who had been brought down from the Pampas, to be put to death, and in order to strike terror into the population of Buenos Ayres, they were taken out in dozens, and shot before all the people. Four of their chiefs were brought to the bar racks, where they had their throats cut, along with two little children ! Every day brought with it some fresh atrocity in this calendar of bloodshed. We can only select one or two out of many hundred examples. The war and subsequent persecution of the party known as the " Unitarians," in opposition to Rosas, as the head of the Federalists, was conducted with unrelenting cruelty. " Death to the savage Unitarians" was his rallying cry and the test of allegiance to his person. A witness named Jose Ramos made oath, before 12 Commissioners assembled at Monte Video, that while he was with Rosa's army he saw "many of the prisoners castrated before they had their throats cut, and that lie knew an Englishman, whose name was William, who was mur dered, with a woman and child only seven years old. Similar massacres were common throughout the war. The word " Resbalosa" was invented by R sas to convey to his infernal agents, the Masorqueros, a particular mode of dispatching their victims. It meant that they were to be tied up naked, with their hands behind their backs, whilst the assassins cut their throats slowly with knives or a saw ; and this horrible torture was accompanied by a song made for the occas sion. The slightest trifles afforded a sufficient pretext for these monstrous cruelties, which partook rather of the amusements of cannibals than the known practices of wars or persecutions even in the most fanatical age. One man was shot in prison for wearing a fancy dress on his way to see his mistress ; another for having steered a Monte Videan barque ; in the month of Octo ber, 1842, the Masorqueros repaired every night to the city of Buenos Ayres from Rosas's camp, or rather Gol gotha, called the " Santos Lugarea," hard by the walls, to murder and pillage the inhabitants, no less than 400 of whom wore slaughtered in their houses by these ruf fians in three weeks. In actual war these horrors were all redoubled. The taking of Catamarca by Mariano Maza in 1842, when he made a pile of the heads of 600 of the inhabitants, beheaded in the market place ; and the deeds without a name perpetrated by the Friar Aldao (another of Rosa's officers), as Governor of Men doza, baffle all description, and exceed the atrocities of the French Reign of Terror itself. But this Argentine Reign of Terror has been going on for eight years—it is still going on with the same fury, or, if checked, is only checked by the want of victims in a country where the population has already been decimated by these mis creants. We hare said enough—perhaps too much — though we have only opened at random the frightful record in which these acts are enrolled. They are still, we repeat it, going on ; they are at this instant inflict ing pangs of torture and of grief of which the natives of this Christian land cannot in the worst hours of their extremest misery form more than a vague conception. These horrors have engendered a frightful indifference to human life and to all the ties which render society sacred and secure. The character of Rosas is that of the race to which he belongs, and he is prouder of fhihsereso lution and address among the Gauchos thandowtith poli tical tical power he has acquired and r e u ve th n le th ss e s h e e r s e t ri o t f y. his rivals violence, as, for ber and vio by acts of unjustifiable treac thatr e I y th d e is l g y r e a s ce o d f ;of war.

They had continued with them through all their difficulties, and he should not like to see them quit them now. lie moved that the report be received, adopted, and printed for circulation among the Proprietors. The CHAIRMAN did not think it advisable even to discuss the question of breaking up the concern. The Directors considered they were doing the best for all parties by carrying on the business on a safe and moderate footing till times should mend, and bring them back to their former prosperity. No attempt could he made to break up the concern with out great loss. With regard to the fixing a time for the declaration of a dividend, it would be seriously taken into consideration by the Directors before the next general meeting. An Hort. PROPRIETOR asked how much of the 34,000/., stated to be the amount of bad and doubtful debts, had been recovered up to the dates of the last advices ? The CHAIRMAN said the statement was taken from the reports of their different managers up to the 30th of June last, and they had no reason to think that their affairs had been worse since. On the whole, they were 40,0001. better than they were last year. Some conversation on the dividend question ensued, which was stopped by the Chairman, as not then being before the meeting. A question was asked as to the value of the secu rity for the individual by whom the robbery on the bank had been committed? It was stated that his security was 1,500/., but that it turned out to be of no avail ; inquiry had, therefore, been made into the securities of all the persons employed in the esta blishment. The report was then received. An HON. PaoraiErom made a motion for expung ing from the minutes the resolution of the day of January, 1839, by which 3,5001. was annually placed at the disposal of the Directors as the remuneration of their labour. Of this sum the Directors have only token one-half, or 1,750/. a year. The object of the present motion was to fix the last sum as the allow ance to the Directors, which, the mover contended, was an ample one. The motion was seconded, but Mr. C.

London : Longman, Browh, lateen, awl Lonottans‘ The retiring Directors—Mr. Colville, Mr. Davison, Mr. P. M. Stewart, Mr. A. Stewart, Mr. Bruce, and Mr. S. Gurney, auditor, all offered themselves for re-election ; they were proposed, and re-elected with out opposition. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman and Board of Directors, the meeting separated. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION. Yesterday a friendly meeting of the late Robert Nicoll, formerly . editor of the Leech Nercury, was held in the National hall, High Holborn, to comme morate the anniversary of his birthday. A very crowded assemblage filled the Hall at the hour an nounced for tea, and, after the tables had been cleared, P. Taylor, jun., Esq., took the chair, and was sup ported by George Thompson, Esq., J. H. Parry, Esq., Dr. Epps, and others of the ultra-Liberal party. The proferisionals engaged-L-Mrs. A. Newton (late Miss Ward), Miss Rinks, Mr. Shoubridge, and Mr. J. B, Collett—sung a number of admired popular airs, duetts, Ste., and were most deservedly applauded. The CHAIRMAN then, in a very able speech, directed the attention of the meeting to the works of the late Robert Nicoll, and with the most careful acumen analysed the tendency of his poems, which were proved, by an abundance of quotations, to be ever directed to the ameli o rati o n o f th e condition of the working classes. Mr. PARRY, the barrister, proposed the first senti ment—" May the beauties of poetry and truths of philosophy be ever allied and devoted to the elevation of all, instead of propping up the exclusive, and often mistaken, interests of the few;" which, in an admir able, though very lengthened speech, he supported by showing that the most natural—the true children of genius, had ever arisen from the lower ranks ; that their writings - had conduced more to the advance ment of freedom and the extension of popular prin ciples than any of the more polished and aristocratic poets of our country.—(Cheers.) Mr. MORTON supported the sentiment in an appro• priate speech, and it was adopted unanimously. Dr. Errs moved the second sentiment —" The memory of Robert Nicoll, the poet and politician of the millions, whose genius, energies, and life, were devoted to their true interests, for he was ever active in exposing error, upholding right, and endeavouring to blend all in holy brother hood, in order to promote the world's happiness ;" and reminded the meeting that the unfailing—the ever strenuous exertions of the late Robert Nicoll— demanded that that tribute should be paid to his memory. lie might well say that that lamented in dividual fell a sacrifice to his exertions in the cause of " the people." Indeed, his last moments of life were expended in the endeavour to return a patriot for his adopted town in the person of Sir William Molesworth. The report commenced by stating that the Board of Directors still considered it proper to class under the head of bad debts those which were doubtful, as well as those which had been found to be bad. It stated, also, that the Directors felt compelled again to recommend the Proprietors to abstain from de claring a dividend, and to allow the amount of the profit made tip to June, 1844, after the deduction of expenses, to be carried to the credit of the bad debt account. It occasioned the Directors much regret to have to renew this recommendation to the Pro prietors, but they felt persuaded, under their present circumstances, it would be the wisest course they could pursue. They trusted the period would soon arrive when they should feel justified in recom mending a portion of their profit to be applied to the payment of a dividend. The amount of their profit, though larger than in the preceding half-year, was still less than what the Directors anticipated when the sugar duties and other questions shall have been placed on a more satisfactory basis, which would enable them to extend the business of the corporation to a greater extent than they were able to do while these questions remained in a state of uncertainty. They continued to conduct their affairs with extreme caution, which, though it restricted their profits, they considered necessary to safety. They thought it more desirable to realise a comparatively small profit, than to make apparently large gains, attended with extra ordinary risk. The Directors were happy to be able to say that the business of the hrlf-year just ended, up to the latest dates in their possession, was going on satisfactorily. The CHAIRMAN would not trouble the meeting with any observations in addition to the report, but at once move that it be received. Mr. LEVI was sorry to see the respectable Chair man, and so many gentlemen of high standing, as sembled at all on this occasion. He thought it would he far better if they would dissolve the Company, and let them all get something out of the wreck of their affairs. He was sorry to hear the Chairman, and such a man as Mr. Maxwell Stewart, brought toge ther on such a forlorn hope. If they had broken up, as he (Mr. Levi) had suggested last year, they might have secured 181. a share ; he was sure, if they con tinued another year, they should not get eighteen pence. He saw it would be useless for him to make any motion, but he again urged them, as the concern did not answer, to break it up. It was merely kept going to pay people at home and abroad their salaries— men who never looked into the box for two years, and, when they did, found there were 12,0001. gone. Mr. C. CAVE was entirely opposed to the views of the Hon. Proprietor, which had been but faintly sup ported by gentlemen in other parts of the room. With those condemnatory remarks, in which he had rather hastily indulged, he had neither sympathy nor feeling ; and he was much mistaken if all the gentlemen present were not opposed to the opinions of Mr. Levi. Far from indulging in such gloomy anticipations, he thought there was much to console them in their position. lie admitted that their af fairs did not come up to what he had hoped, yet a little consideration removed much of that disappoint ment. They must recollect the state in which they had been, and from that they could not expect to rise at once to a condition of vitality and vigour ; if they did, he thought it would be dangerous, and in it he should see the seeds of future misfortune. He would rather pursue a slow and certain course, which would be likely to lead to the restoration of a moderate dividend and the permanent continuance of it. Very much of their present difficulties they owed to the large dividend heretofore declared in that room ; if it had been made less they would not have been in their present straitened condition. But it was the Proprietors who shared the benefit of that mistake, and they should not grumble so unmercifully as Mr. Levi had done at the present privation. They could not blame the Directors for what had been caused by the state of affairs in the West India colonies ; they had been disastrous, and the colonies had had to struggle for their very existence. Men who in one year were possessed of large pro perty, had by the proceedings of the mother country been left in a destitute state. But it was expected that Sir Robert Peel would, in the next session of Parliament, permanently settle the question of the sugar duties. Sugar, they were all aware, was the great staple of the West Indies, and till the duties on it were permanently fixed, it was quite impossible that their affairs could be placed on a sure founda tion. The report said the Directors trusted soon to be able to recommend the declaration of a dividend. Different persons would give a different interpreta tion to the word " soon ;" he confessed he was one of the sanguine ones, and he hoped to hear that declara tion made at their next half-yearly meeting. In one point only did he agree with what had fallen from Mr. Levi. The gentlemen present were certainly men of the highest character in the City of London, and he considered the Proprietors were much indebted -is .0 i:SITiON.

GEORGE THOMPSON, Esq., in a brilliant speech, said that the previous speakers had left him little to do, and were he not to take up the volume and make a speech on it, by reading half its contents, he did not see how h e cou ld o th erw i se ge t on . He, how ever, would entreat the meeting to read the volume for themselves, if they had not already done so, and he should use his individual exertions with Mr. Tait to induce him to publish a cheap edition, that the work might hereafter be found a constant companion at the poor man's fireside. The speaker concluded an able, an argumentative, and analytical speech, amid loud and continued cheering. Mr. LOVETT proposed the third sentiment—" The intellectual, moral, and political improvement of our race. May all sectarian feelings and party views be speedily merged in the general desire for universal happiness, irrespective of man's creed, colour, caste, or country ;" which was supported by Dr. WATSON, and carried unanimously. The meeting then, after thanks to the Chairman, broke up. ' RAILWATS.—The railway world will be disap pointed in their expectations, for the Board of Trade makes no second appearance last evening in the Gazette It is natural for those who have embarked their capital or taken shares in the proposed lines to wish for dis patch—to expect that every Gazette will dispose of a portion of expectant applicants for leave to proceed with their schemes—and that they may thus be relieved from the anxiety of suspense, from the exhaustion which is experienced by those exposed to the suffering of "hope deferred." But natural as this feeling may be on their part, we are well pleased, nevertheless, to find that these hopes hive been disappoihted. It is right for the rail way department of the Board of Trade to take time for their work. They are charged with the execution of a most onerous and important office, involving an immense amount of capital and public interests of a vast and cen flicting character. It is therefore essential to the proper performance of such ardudus and difficult duties that the decision of the board in every case should be the result of ample care and previOus deliberation. Persons of some experience in railway business say that the board could not examine properly into each proposed line before them without twelve months' preparation. We do not give way to that opinion, because we be lieve that many of the lines do not call for much consideration. Some of them are of manifest public utility, running in a proper direction as main trunks through the localities they intersect, and not exposed to competition. Others again may be disposed of on grounds equally conclusive, although very opposite. In neither of these classes can the Board of Trade be much at a loss how to act, nor ia.it likely that they will differ in opi nion. The difficulty rests in deciding the question of competing lines, and so to decide as to do justice to the parties, and also to pay the requisite attention to the in terests of the public. The promoters of some of the lines already rejected by the board have given notice that, as the decision was not accompanied " by any reasons in justification of such a course," the provisional committee will " not relax" their efforts. The committee of dea Cornwall and Devon Central Railway has made intim*: tion to that effect, while the favoured, or at least the.. fortunate, line • from Falmouth to Plymouth concisely observes, on the other hand, with much self-satisfaction, that " the Board of Trade having reported in their favour,- any communication in reference thereto" may be addressed to their committee, in Broad-street-buildings. No reasons, we suspect, would have satisfied the parties who have been thrown overboard, and any reasons, or none, were equolly acceptable to those who received a verdict in their favour.—Chronicle. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN RAILWAY.—A rumour having becothe prevalent that the promoters of the pro jected Cambridge and Lincoln Railway intended to pull ' down the church at Chesterton, we have the highest authority for stating that there is no intention to touch the church or the church:yard, but to keep as far away from both as possible.

We have been favoured with the following exfr*at of a letter received by a mercantile firm. It i 4 some days later than previous advices, and will be found interesting : " PAPEETI, JULT 18, 1944. " Ota.heite is in a lamentable state at the present time ; the natives causing much apprehension, heep the French soldiers continually on the alert. We have, since the arrival of the schooner (Ist of July), been daily expecting an attack upon the settlement, for which reason it was deemed prudent not to discharge the cargo; but we commence to-day, having written to the Gover nor, holding the Fiench Government responsible for any loss or damage occasioned to British property from the proceedings of the present war. The feel ing of insecurity has prevented our making many sales at present, and from the same cause we fear we shall not realise such good prices us expected. We shall have a full cargo for the schooner. Captain Hammond, of the Salamander, has disappointed expectation. lie appears to take a view of Otaheitian affairs opposite from that of any of his predecessors. A letter he sent to the French Governor was, by the latter's directions, rendered into the Otaheitian dialect, with perverted meaning, and posted about, in the hope that it might induce the natives to give over their struggle, and quietly sub mit to the French yoke. The perverted letter was to the effect, that Captain Hammond begged to inform the French Governor that his arrival in Otaheite was merely for the purpose of looking after the interests of British property, there being no representative of the Queen of Great Britain in this land. Captain Hammond declared that it was utterly useless for the OtahL itians to resist the exalted power of France, and t(moI Queen een give knowno them hfeßrit t a o in th w en ou t i ht d a com no s e to Otaheite b o p tai eo ie l ite ng a ing tthi t s o ti t m he e assistance. This letter, in the opinion of many, instead of having the desired effect, will merely precipitate matters a little; as the natives, in the belief that Britain has deserted and left them to their own resources, have determined to do or die. The native population, with few exceptions, have taken to the mountains, and parties of them from time to time engaged the French in skirmishes, many of the latter having been killed, and some Otaheitians. " The priests' houses have been burnt, and the houses of others favouring the French, and much property has been destroyed ; and in a late affray between the natives and their invaders, we regret to state that the Rev. T. S. Alliean was shot dead as he was turning from his verandah to his house. The bullet struck him behind his ear, and lodged below the socket of his eye ; he breathed heavily for five or six minutes after his fall, and expired without a word ; it is not known for certainty from which party the shot was fired. His loss is deeply deplored, as he was the most learned of the mission, and a very amiable man. His wife and children, who had gone to an adjacent island for security are yet in ignorance of his sad fate. Nearly all the missionaries are leaving the island; some for England, and others for islands ad jacent. We will not enter into further distressing detail, as ticular6 : and we have no doubt you will shudder at his fate." UNITED STATES. (From the Liverpool Timis.) By the fast sailing American ship General Parkhill, Captain APKown, we have several days' later dates from Charleston than those previously received. She left the Bar on the 16th ult. The news from Liverpool by the steamer Caledonia, of Nov. 19, reached Charleston on the 12th ult., as appears from a paper of the 13th ult. We give an extract of some interest : SPEECH OF JAMES K. POLK. ' The Nashville Union of the 30th ult., gives the fol lowing report of a speech delivered by the President elect, Colonel Polk, on the previousday, on the occasion of his reception at Nashville. In reply to an address from Mr. Nicholson, he rose and replied as follows: " I return to you, Sir, and to my fellow-citizens whose organ you are, my unfeigned thanks for this mani festation of the popular regard and confidence, and for the congratulations which you have been pleased to ex press to me, upon the termination and the result of the late political contest. lam fully sensible that these con gratulations are not, and cannot be, personal to in) self. It is the eminent success of our common principles which has spread such general joy over the laud. The political struggle through which the country has just passed has been deeply exciting. Extraordinary causca have existed to make it so. It has terminated—it is; now over—and I sincerely hope and believe, has been decided by the sober and settled judgment of the Ame rican people. " In exchanging our mutual congratulations with each other upon the result of the late election, the democra tic party should remember, in calmly reviewing the con test, that the portion of fellow citizens who have dif fered with us in opinion have equal rights with our selves ; that minorities as well as majorities are enti tled to the full and free exercise of their opinions and judgments ; and that the rights of all, whether of mi norities or majorities, as such, are entitled to equal :re spect and regard. " In rejoicing, therefore, over the success of the de mocratic party, and of their principles, in the late elec tion, it should be in no spirit of exultation over the de feat of our opponents ; but it should be because, as we honestly believe, our principles and policy are better cal culated than theirs to promote the true interests of the country. " In the position in which I have been placed, by the voluntary and unsought setTrages of my fellow-citizens, it will become my duty, as it will be my pleasure, faith fully and truly to represent, in the executive department of the Government, the principles and policy of the great party of the country who have elevated me to it ; but, at the same time, it is proper that I should declare that I shall not regard myself as the representative of a party only, but of the whole people of the United Statee ; and I trust that the future policy of the Governrnentmay be such as to secure the happiness and prosperity of all, without distinction of party." ROWING MATCII.—The scullers' contest between Thomas Coombes, of Mil!bank, and Joseph Leach, of Lambeth, for 101. aside, came off yesterday. The former of these, the brother of Robert Coombes, the champion,• is well known as a first-rate man, and has distinguished himself on many occasions. The latter has appeared but little beforo the public ; but his contest last summer with Clement Bartlett, induced his friends to consider him a likely customer for his opponent of yesterday. The distance was from Westminster to Putney, and Coombe appeared to have the call in the betting circles. The race disappointed the expectations of those who had assembled to witness it. Coombes won the choice of station, and went to the Middlesex side, his adversary being at the next pier. Immediately after the start, and before their arrival at Lucas's-road, Leach gradaally rowed away from his man, retained the lead, and won by upwards of forty yards. Coombes, who had started well, appeared to have strained his left arm immediately after wards. His defeat may be :attributed to this, although it is of course difficult to say that he would have been , successful had it been otherwise. EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF TOBACCO BY THE CBS.' TOMS' OFFICERS.—On Saturday last a large quantity of tobacco and cigars was discovered hidden beneath some packages on the quay at the St. Katherine Docks, which, it was supposed, had been surreptitiously landed from a vessel now discharging her cargo, to await the opportunity of removal from the premis , s with some goods about to be shipped into craft to be landed else where, which was immediately seized by the Customs' officers. On Monday afternoon a further quantity, con sisting of about forty pounds' weight of manufactured negrohead tobacco, done up in the same manner, and of exactly the same description as that discovered on the quay on Saturday, was found concealed behind the door of a shed adjoining the place, which was also seized by the same parties. No clue has yet been obtained as to the actual source from whence this tobacco was landed, though suspicions are entertained on the subject.

P -- " Ec et iiUMATION OF THE BODY OF THE FOUNDRESS.—Our readers are aware that this building, situated at the eastern extremity of the valley which separates the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh, formerly the Old Botanic Garden, has been sold to the North British Railway Company, and is now about being taken down. About nine o'clock, on New Year's-clay morning, the remains of the foundress, Lady Glonorchy, were exhumed from a catacomb under the floor of the chapel, which was covered by several large flags, on one of which a large plate of brass indicated who lay below. At the bottom of a flight of steps, and in a narrow catacomb, the coffin was found, which had rested there in darkness for nearly sixty years. The coffin, in the first attempt of the labourers to remove it from it,s place, parted longitudinally a-top, and the remains of Lady Glonorchy were deposited within a new shell pre ; pared for the purpose. The plate above bore, in cha raeters still distinctly legible, that the remains were those of Lady Glenorchy, the foundress of the chapel, end that she had departed in July 1786, in her forty-fourth year. The cover of the new shell was then screwed down over both the mouldering skeleton and the coffin to which it had been consigned so long before ; and after it had been removed to its place in a hearse which was in waiting the vehicle moved slowly away for re-interment, followed by a few gentlemen, members of the Free Church, who, in accordance with the terms of her Lady ship's will, were the trustees of the building.—cakdociett MrCta7. - ~~ i. ---, ,-
