Fraser, official as captains, when it was thought advisable to set an inquiry on foot as to the fate of the crew, the name of the vessel, &c. A. formal application was made to the toco•sa,' or principal chief of the island, but for sonie days without any success. Meanwhile Captain Rounds had recovered various articles from the wreck, including the anchors and chains, a' large quantity of new iron Looping; which had evidently been burnt to a white heat, the figure-head, the full-length figure of a woman with a coronet, the lower dead eyes, and a large quantity of rigging, &c. The whole of the oil barrels remaining in the hold'of the vessel were partially burnt, and their contents, of course, wasted. Some few casks, however, were subsequently found• on the island, where they had, no doubt, been placed by the natives after taking possession of the vessel and before it was destroyed. It was well known that when whaling ships touched at these islands the native women frequently come on board in large number s, and, ge nerally speaking, they are considered well-conducted savages. On this occasion advantage was taken of their familiarity, and the fact that a vessel had been attacked and the crew murdered was elicited from several among them, and con firmed by a variety of circumstances. Captain Rounds then decided on requiring an explanation of the whole affair from the King or chief, and took an armed party- on shore with him for that purpose. The chief met the party, and ap peared considerably alarmed at the manner in which Captain Rounds pursued the investigation ; but, after several into - views, no satisfactory information was obtained on the sub ject. Captain Rounds insisted that the chief should repair on board his ship, and even went so' far as to threaten to hang him in case some explanation was not afforded. The chief himself appeared willing to go on board, tut the natives would not allow him, and at this point all further communi cation between them ceased ; the natives taking to their canoes, and seeking refuge within the creeks with which the island abounds. Here. it was found impossible to pursue them, but from the women and a few stragglers among the iiienT the following particulars were - obtained:— The Harriet had put into the island for wood and water, and the intercourse between her crew and the natives was apparently carried on in the usual friendly manner. A deep plot, however, seems to have been laid by the natives, which was at the same time wholly unsuspected by Captain Bunker. One day, shortly after their arrival, the captain and the sur geon went ashore shooting—two boats' crews being engaged in collecting wood, and one in taking in water. Out of a crew of twenty-seven to thirty persons, only five remained on board thz ship, and this fact doubtless being observed by the na tives, who were anxiously watching an opportunity, they simultaneously attacked the different parties, killing each almost instantaneously. Resistance would appear to have -been hopeless, for, although the island is not more than twenty-seven miles in circumference, it is very thickly popu lated, and from three hundred to four hundred natives were frequently seen on the shore at one-time by Captain Rounds. The five persons who were on board ship at the time observed the attack on their comrades, and, seeing a number of canoes putting off towards the vessel, they hastily embarked in a boat, and have not since been heard of, the probability being that, as Strong's Island is situated at a long distance from any other, they also must have perished in the course of the few following clays. In the course of Captain Round's inves tigations on the island he fortunately discovered four or five leaves of the Harriet's log, from which it appeared that the ship had recently been to Port Jackson for the purpose of undergoing some repairs, and the captain had made an entry to the effect that he had had some trouble with his crew. Finding all their endeayouis fail to procure more information the several ships above alluded to bore up and stood away from the island together—parting company some days sub sequeatly. The Harriet was the property of Messrs. Boulcott, of Paul's wharf, London. She left England in June, 1839, and has consequently been absent nearly five years. No tidings has been heard of her during the last eighteen months, and her owners had recently effected an additional insurance of 1,500/., making a total of 7,500/. Many of her crew left at Sydney, whose places were supplied by others ; it is there fore impossible to give the names of those lost correctly. It is generally believed that three other vessels have been destroyed in a similar manner at the same island, information to that, effect ,having been obtained by Captain Rounds. These vessels are supposed to have belonged to some of the Sandwich. Islands—ships from that locality visiting Strong's Island for the purpose of collecting the beach le mar, a species of worm, in which a considerable trade is carried on with China. Captain Hammer states it as his opinion, that although there may be no Englishmen resident on the island at pre sent, there must have been at some previous time, as the na tives are so well versed in the English language. He adds, that the natives appeared extremely desirous to prevent his becoming acquainted with any of the circumstances of the affair, affecting a degree of indifference with regard to the American captains. On entering the harbour it was sug gested to him tht it might be advisable to hoist the Ameri can standard at the mast head, instead of the union jack. This, however. he declined to do. The Sussex brings home a cargo of 1,500 barrels. THE MARINERS and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. Expressly established for Insurances cut the Lives of Mariners, (whether members of the Royal or Mercantile Navy) and Military ofileers.—lt is to be noted that the Policies of this Company will cover voyages of every description and service in every part o f the globe. The Lives of Fishermen and Boatmen also insured. High rates of premium have hitherto operated against this kind of Assurance, but as the scale now adopted will be found as low as is consonant with the risk, it is believed that this fact, coupled with other advantaaes, will induce a great increase of insurers.

Assurances are effected at a low rate of premium, without profits, or at an increased premium, with participation in the profits of the Office. A Bonus in, ready money, at the rate of 15 per cent. on the pre miums received (equivalent to a reversionary bonus of about 30 per cent.) was declared in May, 1842, on all beneficial policies on which three annual premiums had been paid in the previous De cember. A division of the profits takes place every five years, and the hold ers of beneficial policies can receive their bonuses in ready money, or have them applied in augmentation of their policies, or in reduction of their future premiums Assurers may contracti, o pay their Premiums either in one sum, In a given number of pay ments, in annual, half-yearly, or quarterly pay ments, or on the ascending or descending scale.

Surely, the generous feeling of the citizens of Exeter must in such a case render a personal canvass superfluous. Sir William Follett is in principles and conduct" without shadAv of change," the same Sir William Follett whom the citizens of Exeter returned to Parliatneat by a great majority in 1835; in 1837, and again in 18-fl. The only change in him is, that he has greatly extended his reputation, added to its lustre, and thus augmented the honours of his native county, which in another age will add his to the rich catalogue of illustrious names of which the men of Devon are naturally and justly proud. An opposition to Sir William ,Follett is, however, threatened—an opposition we must think insulting to the sense and honour of the electors of Exeter, and rendered especially disgusting by its utter hopeless ness, and by the supposed inability of the Attorney- General, from temporary indisposition, to fight his battle in person. The OppOsition candidate is said to be General Briggs. Who is General Briggs ? We look in vain to the pages of Pole, Prince, Ris don, Dunsford, Carew, and Polwhele for evidence of any connection of the eminent house of Briggs with the county of Devon. Well, but the candidate is a General: his name, however, does not shine in any page of the annals of. the Peninsular war, or in the glorious roll of the Waterloo heroes. Ile is an Indian general ; but the military history of India is apparently as negligent of his merits as the military annals of Eurppe, or as the chronicles of Devon are of his linewr b e. -- Ffe is' a General, aria that most inconsi derable of all things—an unknown, undistinguished General. high military rank, associated with obscu rity, perfectly realises the figure of " the little statue upon the mighty pedestal" whiCh grows less by its elevation. We can respect an old soldier, su baltern or captain, of whose name we never heard before ; because, however important their services, however signal their gallantry, both may have passed unnoticed in the crowd; but we cannot extend the same charity to an unknown General, for all a General's exploits are sure to be trumpeted, and when we hear for the first time of a General, we are disposed to set him , down with the class spoken of by Frederick the Great. " These fellows," said the sarcastic hero, "have not as much claim to favour as my baggage mule, which has seen more service than any of them, and has fully as much sense and spirit. Their sole plea of merit is that they have contrived to keep a long time out of the way of being knocked on the head—a caution for which the Sovereign that must feed and pay them has little reason to be grateful." Until we hear what are the services of General Briggs we shall without hesitation assign him to this class. Meanwhile let the electors of Exeter decide between CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. Yorkshire..

',Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) After a lapse of about twenty minutes the jury - returned nto Court, when Mr. - Justice WILLIAMS proceeded to read the evidence at length. After the Learned,Judge had finished, the evidence, he told them, that if the evidence was such as to leave a just and-reasonable doubt WI theirminas the prisoners should have the but if there was no doubt on their minds they would give their verdict accordingly._ He again begged of the jury not to repird any observations which were addressed to them, except so far as they were founded on the evidence. The question they had to consider with regard to the prisoner Barber was, whether he had merely acted as an ordinary at torney would act in the matter, or whether he had produced the will for probate, well knowing it to have been forged. . The jury then retired to considr their verdict. _The prisoner, Barber, seemed to have retained his self possession throughout the trial, frequently handing down notes to his counsel, till the close of the Judge's charge ; he then appeared to become extremely agitated and nervous. Alter an absence of about an flour and twenty minutes, the 'jury returned with a verdict of GUILTY . AGAIW ALL THE PRISONERS. Mr. Barber-I am not guilty, my Lord, and Mr. Fletcher here knots that I am not. The prisoners were then removed. . , The'Court then adjourned till Monday morning. BANKRUPTS.

HORRIBLE MASSACRE IN ONE OF THE SOUTH SEA ISLANDS. The details of another attack on an English whaler and of the slaughter of the whole crew by the natives of one of the South Sea Islands, have just been received by the Sussex, a whale ship belonging to Mr. Lyall, M.P. for the City of Lon don, under the command of Captain Hammer, which arrived in the river the day before yesterday, after an absence of fur years and three months. The particulars disclose nothing calculated tf, throw light on the cause of the melancholy catastrophe. On the con trary, there appears to have been an absence of all motive for the attack, except that arising from a desire to plunder the ship, which, as will be seen by Captain Hammer's state ment, was first burnt to the water s edge and then scuttled in eight fathoms water. The following details, kindly supplied to the reporter by Captain . 11ammer, contain all the facts • known in reference to the painful tragedy Captain Hammer states that on the 30th of April last year, having occasion to take in water, he bore down towards the island marked Quallan on the chart, b u t usua ll y terme d Strong's Island by British seamen, being in lon. 162 E., lat. 6 N. ()n approaching the harbour he observed three Ameri can ships and one Canadian vessel lying at anchor. These vessels subsequently proved to be the Pacific, Captain Rounds, from St. John's, :New Brunswick, and the Lydia, the Lexington, and the Pearl, three American whalers. As the Sussex neared the island th e captains of each of these vessels came off in boats to meet her,. and Captain R oun d s, o f th e Pacific, immediately communicated to Captain-Hammer the fact that the wreck of an English whaler, called the Harriet, belonging to the port of London, and commanded by Captain Bunker, was lying in eight fathoms water within the har bour. Having each anchored at a convenient distance from the shore, Captain Hammer returned with Captain Rounds on board the Pacific, where portions of the Harriet's log- ' 'eeks had cast anchor in a previously book, her figure. head, ancho r, &c., all of which revio had been Captainbeenre covered at that time, wer e shown to him , by which the identity and fate of the vess el was p l aced beyond a doubt.

They put to sea , and in the course of a day or withtcan t ie hey up captured. a marked to the captain a few hours afterwards, " Why do you keep looking about here for fish to procure oil? There is a ship lying in the harb our full of it." It should here be mentioned that the inhabitants of Strong's Island speak the English language remarkably well, and, as the manner of the native in question olds such as to lead Captain Rounds to believe that he might place some reliance upon his information, conceiving it also possible that a ship might have been wrecked near the island, he at o n ce deter mined to bear down upon it without loss of time. Arriving there the man pointed out the spot where the ship lay, and on soundings being taken, it was discovered that some large object met b the lead. Captain Rounds then, with consider able ingenuity, rigged'out one of his large oil-casks in the form of a diving-bell, and having made the necessary pre parations a man was sent down, who immediately reported the fact of the hull uf a vessel burnt to the water's edge lying beneath its surface in about eight fathoms. The Ame rican ships above named, were lying in the harbour at this time, and Captain Rounds at once comnumierted the cir cumstances which bad come to his knowledge to the several their late accomplished, able, and faithful represen tative and this intruder. _ln_ this case the bill was filed for the purpose of proving an estate administered, and, amongst other pur poses, inquiring vlliether Daniel William Davidson had come into actual possession of an estate to which he was entitled under the will of Robert Davidson, made in the year 1810. On the Bth of March, 1842, a decree was made in the original cause. By that decree, it was re ferred to the Master to make inquiries as to the state of the family, and also as to the accounts of the property ; and it was ordered, that the Master should also inquire and state whether Daniel Wilson Davidson, in the will named, had come into actual possession of the estate ; and if so, under what title and whateireumstances. The Master made his report, stating the facts. his HONOUR, after entering fully into all the points of the case, declared it to be his opinion, that Daniel Wilson Davidson was not in the actual possession of Oa estate. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Apri/19. (Sittings in Banco.) The Court was occupied the whole morning in hear ing motions for new trials in cares which had been tried at the last Lent assizes. GLOBE.—The Times City article puts forth the following statement, as serving towards the expla nation of the fall of more than 1 per cent. within these few days, in Consols:—" As it appears that the greatdr part of the sales have originated with brokers who usually act for the Scotch banks, it has been conjectured that the very sagacious managers of those institutions have obtained some scent of the nature of Sir R. Peel's new measures relative to banking, which he is to communicate after the budget, on the 30th instant, which induces them to take up a defensive position, and by selling their stock to provide themselves with a large amount of dis posable funds to meet the emergency. The point on which they are most apprehensive is the circulation of their small notes ; and should these be withdrawn, in order to assimilate the Scotch currency with that of the rest of the United Kingdom, their place must be supplied with gold, which can only be ob tained by a sale of stock and Bank of England notes." [t may in some degree appear to confirm the con jectured surmises of the Scotch bankers, that Sir Robert Peel has shown something like a small-note phobia on several occasions ; and has attributed to small notes a power, which (under the condition of convertibility, and free competition in banking) we cannot conceive as belonging to them, whether for good or evil. On the last day of the session of 1842, Sir Robert Peel, after remarking on the tendency of his tariff to mitigate the existing distress, concluded by saying—" I admit that there are modes by which a temporary prosperity might be created. I might create a temporary prosperity by the issue of 1/. notes, and by encouraging. the Bank to make large issues of paper ; but such a prosperity would be wholly delusive. It is much wiser, in my opinion, to abstain from the application of the stimulus." This is quite the style of lEolus (or Sir Jabesh Windbag) with bladders full of that commodity which mankind were so anxious to raise. Mr. Tooke, in his recent pamphlet entitled " An Inquiry into the Cur rency Principle," remarks on this magnificent piece of flatulence of the Prime Minister, "At the time when Sir Robert Peel made this remark—namely, in August, 1842—the rate of interest had fallen below what it had been for several years before, and most assuredly nothing like a return of pros perity, however short-lived, had yet manifested itself. He cannot, therefore, any longer hare sup posed, whatever may have have been his impression when examining Mr. Page two years before, the rate of interest being then still comparatively high, that mere advances on securities, that is, loans or discounts by the Bank (always assuming that the securities are un exceptionable), could have the desired effect. How,he would have proposed the extra issue to be made, with the view of creating temporary prosperity, does not ap pear." There is no reasoning with a fixed idea; and if Sir Robert Peel has a fixed idea about one-pound notes, he has probably given it, by this time, an apartment for life in the structure of his brain. In that case we take leave to consider him not a whit less mad about currency, in his way, than the Brummagem men in theirs. Time will soon show whether this is the case. Meanwhile, we will trouble the Minister to take along with him the fact that, while the number of banks in Scotland has in creased, the notes in circulation have diminished. The same thing might be said of the country circula tion in England. If Sir Robert Peel is really going to take the field against Scotch and Joint-stock Banks, having for his banner the ragged petticoat of the Old Lady of Threadneedle-street (no embroidered garment of a lloly Virgin that), why, we can on ly say . we wish himjoy of this new and most gratuitous " difficulty" to his Government !

Maria Foster, a young woman, was charged with absenting herself from the ChelSea workhouse, and with deserting her female child. , • Mr. Daniel Sutton, the master of the workhouse, said that the defendant was an inmate of the workhouse up to Tuesday last, when she absented herself, l eav i ng a c hil d, s i x years ol d , chargeable to the parish. She was admitted to the workhouse on the 7th March last, but had been an inmate three 3 , ears ago, when she was passed to her parish in the neighbourhood of Brighton. She had not been to the workhouse since Tues day last ; and having come there drunk, and at an unsea sonable hour, she was refused admission. Ile found her last night; in a public-house in Chelsea, and gave her into custody on the above charge. Mr. BOND inquired the amount of expense to which the parish had been put in supporting the child since Tuesday. Mr. Sutton—highteenpence. The defendant said she had been to the workhouse since Tuesday, but not having an order, the porter refused to admit her. _ _ - - - Mr. BOND committed the defendant to the House of Cor rection,,and to be kept at hard labour for fourteen days. Mr. Sutton said that when the term of her imprisonment had expired, he should send the child to the House of Cor- rection, with an intimatiou that if the defendant thought proper to return to the workhouse with her child, she would be again admitted. George Harris, a respectably-dressed young man, was placed at the bar on the following charge Mrs. Oldham, a young married woman, said the defendant was formerly in the habit of paying his addresses to her sister; the connexion had, however, been broken off. The defendant met her sister last evening in Bridge-street, when he abused her, making use of highly improper language, and followed her to her residence in John-street, forcing his way into the house, and threatening to take her life. His conduct was very violent. Her sister, from the defendants misconduct, was unable to attend. Her father happened tc. come in at the time, when the defendant struck him several times, and threatened to choke him, and was not ejected from the house without considerable difficulty. Mr. Benjamin Riches, the father of the last witness, who holds a situation in the House of Commons, corroborated her evidence, and said that he had every reason to believe that his daughter, as we llas himself and fatnily, were in danger from the violence of the defendant. He had been guilty of similar misconduct about three months ago, when he was brought to that office, but having promised not to repeat it, the charge was withdrawn. The defendant, whose conduct during the examination was very flippant, denied that he forced himself into the house, but that he merely went there to speak to Miss Riches. lie did not, however, deny assaulting Mr. Riches. Mr. BOND said the defendant's .conduct was most im proper; he must pay the stun of 30s. for the assault, or in default be committed to the House of Correction for three weeks. He must also enter into sureties to keep the peace towards Mr. Riches and his family. REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS AND DEATHS.-ANNE SLACK'S CASE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sie,—Very shoray after the birth of his Royal High ness the Prince of Wales 1 read in your paper that the registrar of rib attended at Buckingham Palace, for the purpose of registering such birth. Here we find the public officer fulfilling his duty to the letter, and "in. forming himself carefully" of such birth ; he was not satisfied at a stranger calling upon him and telling him that a Prince of \Vales was rre and on such casual in formation registering the same. No ! he carried out the 6th and 7th Win. 4, c. 36, s. 18, which enacts that " every registrar is hereby required to inform himself carefully of every birth and every death which shall happen in his district, and to learn and register, with out fee, the particulars required respectively touching every such birth and every such death, as the ease may be," &c. I believe that Buckingham Palace is in the Pimlico registrar's district ; if so, we find this same officer registering the death of Anne Slack as taking place on a certain day at South-terrace, Pimlico (no such place being in his district), on the information of a perfect stranger, without proceeding to " inform himself," according to his duty, laid down in the Act of Parlia ment, as to the correctness of the information of death left at his office ; and it appears that he was not aware of having registered a fictitious circumstance until the party was in custody for felony who had given him the information. The consequence of this registering officer having been " slack" in the performance of his duty is. that a fraud and felony were carried out to completion ; had this officer proceeded " to inform himself carefully" as to the correctness of the statement of Mr. Robert Hart (alias Fletcher), of James-street, Commercial-road East (a fictitious name and address), before he had pro ceeded to register the death of Anne Slack, of South. terrace, Pimlico, we should not now find such an entry in his books, or a will of such party stated to have been living at such place, and dying in such place, recorded at Doctors'-commons, or a probate of such will have beer' exhibited at the Bank of England, or a sum of unclaimed dividends standing in the name of Anne Slack, trans ferred by the Bank of England, under the authority or the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, into the name of a party not lega ll y entitled to such unclaimed stock and dividends. registrations; but if the duties are . was The ra A ss c e t d for for the Registration the protection o f o f tth ß oe i b r pe th u s ebal i a rer n ib d e3d, D ooffi e u a te t i h aas s i will perhaps say, that the pay Frauds."

STANDARD.—The approaching Exeter election claims, we think, from the public a degree of atten tion beyond what is generally due upon such occa sions. The character of such a man as Sir William Follett does not concern merely the place of his birth, the city that he has already represented, or even the distinguished profession of which he has long been, according to the acknowledgment of all men, the most brilliant ornment. The cha racter of such a man belongs to the whole country ; it is not the least valuable of our possessions, and the country is both damaged and disgraced when such a possession is treated as of little worth. It is the boast of our fi Constitution and of our social system, that a mm may in England advance himself from the humble:t rank of life to the very highest honours of ti e State, by his own unaided honourable exertions. We use the word honourable emphatically, be cause here, in truth, lies the grand distinction. In every country, even in countries governed by the tyrants of the East, men can advance by means less than honourable, and often advance themselves with a rapidity proportioned to their indifference in the use of means ; but it is the pride of England, that advancement is open to those most scrupulous and delicate in the steps of their ambition, and that an honourable ascent is the only secure one. Of this truth it is scarcely possible to find a more striking ex ample than in the person of Sir 'William. The son of a gentleman of respectable but of middle rank, he has, by the exercise of his rare talents and in domitable industry, in 20 years from his call to the bar, wrought his way to a position in his profes sion and in the country which would be very in• adequately estimated by the official station that he has won, though that is the highest to which the ambition of a practising lawyer c an as p ire. you would ascertain what is Sir William Follett s real rank as lawyer, statesman, and gentleman, ask in Westminster Hall, has so great a lawyer appeared there in the memory of any man living ; has a greater ever appeared there ? Ask in the House of Commons, has any practising lawyer at all approaching to Sir William Follett's professional emi nence ever produced so powerful an impression in that assembly ? Ask either in Westminster Hall, or in Parliament, ask wherever the Attorney-General is known, and prosecute the inquiry indiscriminately among Conservatives, Whigs, Radicals, and Chartists, whether a man of honour more strict, morals more pure, or manners more amiable has ever defied and distanced envy by his talents ? We can truly say that SirW. Follett is nearly the only public man, of whom we never heard an unkind or disrespectful word spoken by any man of any party. Such is the gentleman who, in consequence of the favour conferred upon him by his Sovereign, solicits a re-election by the constituency that be has already served—receivinc , and reflecting honour—in tw o or t h ree Parliament s . ' . It is said that the state of the Learned Gentleman's health—which, though not alarming, is delicate—for- NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON. Capital Z 500,000. Empowered by Act of Parliament. The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus, aceording to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums EXAMPLES.
