' This Society is supported by an ample subscribed Capital, and by a considerable accumulated premium fund. 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 whick 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 contractt o pay their Premiums either in one sum, in a given number of payments, in annual, half-yearly, or quarterly pay ments, or on the ascending or descending scale. Officers of the Army and Navy, on active service, Persons afflicted with chronic and other diseases, and such as are going beyond the limits of Europe, are also Assured at moderate rates.

Expressly established for Insurances on the Lives of Mariners, (whether members of the Royal or Mercantile Navy) and Military officers.—lt is to be noted that the Policies of this Company will Cover voyages of every description and service in every part of the giobe. 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. Deferred Annuities to Mariners granted upon very moderate Piemiums. • The Premluins for General Assurances are based upon a new ad justed table of mortality.

ROX . EVENING PAPERS OP YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—From the time of John Frost's memorable attack on Newport to the accession of the present Mi nistry, scarcely a day, certainly not a week, was allowed to pass without our being reminded that John Frost was put into the commission of the peace by the Whigs, An explanation was given, by which all blame was re moved from the appointment. At the time it was made there was nothing which impeached the fitness of John Frost for a borough magistrate ; and he was removed immediately` his unfitness became apparent. Still the fact was undeniable that a man who had been a municipal magistrate had become a furious agitator ' • and, instead of preserving the Queen's peace, had•hetided a furious mob, and involved himself and others in the guilt and punishment of high treason. These facts were un questionable. Tory orators- and Tory journals urged the necessity of making the fullest inquiries into the character and habits of individuals, before they were placed in the omimission of the peace. We have no wish to revive the question ; which, for any advantage it can confer on the Tory party, they may have their own way. The appointment of Johq Frost might be worthy of blame; if so, the present Ministry has been consistent in its practice of borrowing from its prede-_ censors in of making it always a little worse. The late election at Woodstock has stirred up some rather unpleasant matters ; but that has been done in a sort of " unnatural contest ;" and, as it. lies entirely among•the Tories, we may leave them to settle it among themselves. It has, however, reminded us that the Duke of Marlborough is Lord Lieutenant of the county of Oxford ; and that he received the appointment from • the present Ministry. The Duke of Marlborough was a. man . not altogether unknown as the Marquis ot. tilandford ; as may be,. seen, not only in the daily papers of 1838, but in Adolphus and Ellis's " Re ports," vol. viii., p. 908, where we find that, on making a rule for a criminalinformationabsolute, the Lord Chief Justice said, " I have no difficulty in saying that if it concerned le.rd Blandford alone, kwould not have consented to make this rule absolute. His own affidavit throws the greatest'imputation on his conduct towards the lady mentioned in these publications; and I cannot pronounce that her statements on the subject are per jured." For the rest of the case, those who are curious in such matters may refer to the documents we have alluded to. The length and breadth of the gross du plicity, profligacy, heartless seduction, and subsequent abandonment of the hapless female whom his Lord ship entrapped by a pretended marriage, were set forth in the affidavits which were published in the daily journals at the time, and are alluded to in the judgment pronounced by the Court, as reported in the volume from which we have quoted. We ask, if a Lord Lieu tenant had caused a commoner, concerning whom such an opinion, in such a case, had been expressed by the highest criminal court in the kingdom, what would have been said -of him, and of the GovernFnent which allowed him to retain his Lord Lieutenantcy ? The case in the Queen's Bench could not have been unknown to the Government at the time of the Duke's appointment as Lord Lieutenant. •To say nothing of the notoriety of the facts, and . the scandal their publication fastened on the Marquis of Blandford (now Duke of Marlborough); Sir W. Follett was engaged in the case, and he was So licitor-General at the time the Duke of Marlborough was appointed. We are not disposed to rake up the errors of a man's youth, and allege them as reasons for excluding him from decent society or . from office.. Still, we have a right to ask, what evidence had the Government, which made him Lord Lieutenant of a county in 1842, that the Duke ot Marlborough 'was then a better man than he was, as Marquis of Blundford, in 1838? And if any, at what precise time they had reason to conclude that the respectability ot character and decency of conduct commenced ? The criminal information was granted by the Court, as we have seen, for the sake of his family. Was the Lord Lieutenancy conferred for the sake of his borough ? One word as to the course the Government is, we conceive, bound to pursue under present circumstances. It is the practice of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when his attention is called to grave charges against a magistrate, to require a contradiction, or ex planation which, if not satisfactory, is followed by striking the delinquent's name out of the commission of the peace. On Monday last grave charges, affect ing the • public and private character of the hike of Marlborough, were publicly stated by Mr. Humfrey, the Government candidate, in the Town Hall of Wood stock, and in the presence of the Noble Duke's friends and retainers—charges which, if true, would justify the interference of the Lord Chancellor to prevent the party against whom they were made and sub stantiated, from continuing to act as a magistrate. How much more when the Lord Lieutenant, the head of the county magistracy, is thus accused, if he do not successfully repel the accusations? The charges were net contradicted at the time—no contradiction of them has yet appeared. -.lf the Government do not interfere, and that very shortly, the subject is of sufficient importance to justify an allusion to it in Parliament. Some Member, of sufficient weight and influence to secure the attention of the House, should question Sir James Graham on the subject; and ask how long the control of the county of Oxford, and the appointment of its magistrates, shall be allowed to remain in the hands of a person who was de clared, by the highest court of the land, to have behaved too ill to be entitled to have a rule for a criminal infor mation made absolute ; and whose subsequent conduct, as was shown by the proceedings at Woodstock on Mon day last, is'more than doubtfel. STANDARD.—Elsewhere will be seen the extract from Mr., Ferrand's speech, which is to be the subject of consideration with the House of Commons to-night. We can find in that extract no allegation which any man can be required to prove, because we do not see any alle gation which, even if true, it would be possible to prove either by documents or by the mouths of witnesses. Nither do we see in the extract anything which a deeply prejudiced man might not conscientiously believe to be true, though to an unprejudiced man the extreme in • justice of Mr. Ferrand's deductions are manifest. As it has beea said before, Mr. Ferrand puts distinctly for ward the grounds of his opinion with the opinion itself, and pretends to have no evidence in reserve—what more can he be called upon to prove ? What, then, can the House of Commons do in the matter? The House may, no doubt, by resolution condemn Mr. Ferrand's two propositions affecting Sir James Graham and Mr. Hogg—as every rational and un prejudiced man in the country has already con demned them—but though there are precedents for such c ondemnatory resolutions of speeches, pamphlets, and sermons; the effect produced by them has left little to tempt to an imitation of such precedents, and we not be doubt whether Sir James Graham and Mr. Hogg would the principal sufferers , by l eavin g to generations, to whom their worth and integrity may be less perfectly known than to the present, a record of grave charges pre ferred against them. The same record will, indeed, carry the evidence of their honourable acquittal by the House of Commons; but, alas! we must not expect that the judgments of the Parliaments of our day will be more respected by posterity than we are in the habit of respecting thejuclgatents of former Parliaments. The view of the present effect of any harsh course adopted towards the Hon. Member for Knaresborough is not more satis factory. The case itself warns us of the danger of imputing motives ; and the loyalty of the Learned Member for Bath, proved in both hemispheres —the loyalty of Mr. Hume, demonstrated by his Canadian correspondence—and the loyalty of the author of the appropriation clause and the confederate of Mr. O'Connell—the loyalty of the three movers of this unhappy debate forbids that we should assign to them any bad motives ; but though we are forbidden to speak of motives, the House .of Commons (we believe, but are not quite sure), !permits to intimate consequences, and we think that with whatever motive or purpose Messrs. Roe buck, Hume, and Ward have kindled this broil, the consequences of permitting it to proceed must be such as. Parliament ought to avoid if possible. Mr. Ferrand has complained loosely and generally of attempts made to crush him and to crush another gentleman, because they are opposed upon principle to the New Poor-law, and to long hours of labour in the factories. Will not a harsh proceeding against the Hon. Member, upon the very slight grounds afforded by his speech, be eagerly seized upon by pre judiced persons as irrefragable confirmation of his complaint ; will he not, and with apparent reason too (considering by whom the matter has been stirred !), be treated as the victim of the economists, the martyr of the poor and of the factory children. This will give him a degree of influence which a Christian Conservative such as Mr. Ferrand's will not abuse, but it will also create a feeling of resentment against his antagonists (we will not call them persecutors) which even his vast influence, will be required to keep within proper bounds. For our parts, we see but one course to pur sue, that will be at once just to Sir James Graham and Mr. Hogg, and to the quiet of the manu facturing districts, and that is, to expunge from the records of Parliament every word that has passed upon this affair since it was first opened' by Mr. Roebuck, and then pass to 'other business, as if the subject had never been alluded to. This might be profitably fol lowed by a resolution of the House, declaring its aver sion to meddling firebrands — at all events, the continued prosecution of the unlucky business prepares the country ill to consider with due calmness, and a proper freedom from prejudice, the debates and the division upon the Factory Bill. • .10.1100=1. SIR JOHN SOANE'S MUSEUM.—At the last gene ral meeting of the Society of Arts, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, President of the Society, was unanimously elected a trustee of this institution, in the room of the late Duke of Sussex. The other trustees, pursuant to the will of the late Sir John Soane, are—the Duke of Hamilton, as deputy from the Royal Society; the Earl of Aberdeen, as President of the Society of Antiquaries; Sir Martin Archer Shee, Presi dent of the Royal Academy ; Sir Claudius Stephen Hunter, as representative of the court of Aldermen ; with Messrs. S. Iligham, John Tidd Pratt, Charles Barry, and H. Howard, R.A. • TIMES.—A sort of rumour has got afloat to-day rB - to the property-tax, which is to the effect that the Minister will consider it good policy to propose the c ei tinuance for a further limited period of the tax on in come from fixed property, and along with it the repeal of a corresponding amount of taxes and duties affecting consumption and the middling classes, trusting to the saving from the tax on personal income from trade and professions to increase consumption. We give this as a version of the case which has been adopted in very re spectable quarters, but without placing any great faitit in it, at these secrets of office' have been too well kept under the present Ministry to permit any anticii ation of them by the public. It amounts, perhaps, to a plausible conjecture, and nothing more. A. letter from the Mexican agents, dated yesterday, has been received by the Committee of Spanish Ameri can bondholders, in reply to their last communication, already noticed. Messrs. Lizardi and Co. still contend, that as agentst of the Mexican Government, to that Go vernment they are alone responsible and accountable, declaring that without express directions they will not render statements to any other party, and alleging that such is the established customs with regard to mercan tile houses acting as agents to foreign Governments. As to their intentions respecting the dividend, they refuse to give any further information. Several other correspondents have adverted to the mode of proceeding adopted at the Bank of England in retaining the assets of holders of stock who are deceased, or, it living, ignorant that they possess it ; and it is asked on all sides whether there is any difference in this respect between the Bank' and private firm in trusted with the property of others, which would render the natural course of proceeding, by a bill of discovery, for example, less eligible in one case thin in the other. This is a question which might easily be brought to an issue by any executor • makings formal demand of the Bank to furnish hint with an exact account of Jall stock whatever standing in the name of his testator, and upon refusal taking proper measures to compel an answer. We think this mode of proceeding well worth trying in• any case where large assets of the kind exist, without: , e in d g effect. At the same time them, and th a t it could phardl y rop e r information fail to have tike concerning it is not to be assumed that the Bank is acting crimi nally by adhering to the old form of business in refusing information, because it presented in general a sort of protection against fratid, and it had not till lately become fully apparent what great inconvenience resulted from it. Now that the attention of the public, however, has been drawn to it by the late investigation and disclosures, the Bank is placed in a different position. The Proprietors have no interest in retaining these forgot en assets, which pass after a lapse of ten years to the account of the Na tional Debt Commissioners ; and it would be a most proper and acceptable course in them to apply imme diately for the assent of the Government to some plan of publicity, which, while it precluded any f rau d u l en t use of the information, would enable all parties entitled to such assets, or their representatives, to obtain them. Mr. Hogg's position in the city as an East India director, and otherwile well known to a large circle of meephants, has rendered his very explicit disclaimer made on Tuesday night of having ever sought, directly or indirectly, any Ministerial patronage, a subject of very general remark. Not a doubt is attempted to be thrown on the truth of Me. Hogg's declaration, but it has nevertheless been found difficult to reconcile with it the fact, perfectly notorious here, that in May last, after the death- of Lord Fitzgerald, the report was so general of Mr. Hogg's approaching appointment to the — vacant post at the Board of Trade, that a canvass was com menced for that seat in the India direction which would have been left vacant upon the recent election of Direc tors if that report had proved true. Of course the whole was a mistake, but it may furnish, nevertheless, some excuse for those who yielded to the belief that it was not without foundation. • The highest price of white wheat of the first quality in Paris is 33f. per l hectolitre, which is equivalent to 50s. sd. per quarter English ; and the highest price of white wheat in the London market being 60s. per quarter, it follows that wheat is 19 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The highest price of flour of the first quality in Paris Is4of. The. per 100 kilograrames, which is equal to 40s. 9d. per sack - of 2801 b. English ; and the highest price of town made flour in London being 50s. per sack, it fol lows that flour is 221 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The price of bread of the first quality in Paris is 36c. per•kilogramme, which is equal to rather more than 6*d. per 41b. English weight ; and the price of bread in the shops of the full-priced bakers in London being per loaf of 41b., it follows that bread is 381 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. HINTS TO MAKE HOME HAPPY. TO IttiBANDS. Keep up the practice of reading the paper during the whole of breakfast time ; of allowing yourself to be spoken to half a-dozen times before you answer, and then of asking your wife what it was that she said. Upon her telling von, make some reply which is nothing to the purpose, as it you were thinking of something else. Having been out over night at an evening party, which your wife was prevented from going to by indisposition, en tertain her the next morning by a minute description of the young lady you danced with, descanting on every, point as enthusiastically as possible. Take frequent opportunities of praising features and per sonal peculiarities which are as diff eren t as possible from your wife's. For instance, if she has blue eyes, say how you like black ; if dark hair, how much you admire light ; if she is tall, remark that you prefer a moderate height; and if short, be constantly quoting Byron, to the effect that you " hate a dumpy woman." Some wives are very particular about their fenders. Should this be the case with, yours, always use it for your footstool. When fresh drugget has been laid down on the stairs, parti cularly_if it is a rainy day, invariably forget to scrape your shoes. Discover frequently, on a cold raw morning, that the room is close, and insist on having the windows open. On the other hand, be as often, during the height of the dog-days, affected with a chilliness, which shall oblige you to keep them shut. Very often order dinner punctually at five, and very sel dom come home till a quarter to six. Occasionally, however, return at the appointed hour, and, not finding things ready, complain that you are never attended to. If your fish, your joint, or your vegetables, should happen accidentally to be a little under or over done, never smother your disappointment lik e some people, but express it as markedly as y ou can, and remain in an ill-humour for the rest of the ev en i ng. B e never quite sat i s fi e d w ith what is set before you, b u t, if possible, find some fault with even dish ; or if not, quarre l with the arrangemen t s of the table. If you can find n o thi ng else to grum bl e &it, think of some thing that y ou wou ld have liked better t h an w h a t has b een got for you, and say so. Wives occasionally make pies - and puddings,. with a view to a little approbation. Never bestow this on any account ; but always say you wished these things were left to the cook. Knowing that there is nothing but cold meat in the house, bring home, every now and then, half-a-dozen men, unex pectedly, to take pot-hick with you. Your wife will pro bably sit at table flurried and uncomfortable, in which case, amuse them by joking at her expense • Should you chance, after dinner, to be affected by a slight it drowsiness, never resist because y • ur wife wishes to chat with you; do not mind her, but go quietly to sleep. ' When you have an evening party at your house, come home to dress just as the company is beginning to arrive. Should you find yourself at eleven o'clock at night among a set of bachelor friends, and be offered a cigar, always stay and smoke it, and another after it, if you like, and, if you please, another after that ; in fact, as many as you find agree able, sever troublin g y ourse lf f or an instant about keeping. your wife and the servants up. In short, on all occasions consult studiously your own in clinations, and indulge, without the least restriction, your every whim and caprice ; but never regard your wife's feel ings at all ; still less make the slightest allowance for any weakness or peculiarity of her character ; and your home will assuredly be as happy Es you deserve that it should be. —Punch. INTERESTING TO LADIES. _ -- To Messrs. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London. Percpplace, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, 1844. Gentlemen,—l think it but an act of justice to inform you of the benefit I have derived from the use of your admirable Macassar O il. About six month s ag o I f ound ray hair getting daily m ore weak and t hin , and much discoloured, from a practice I had adopted of wetting it continually ; fearing that I should lose it entirely, and hearing of the efficacy of your Macassar Oil, I have for some time past constantly used it, and the result is, that my hale is now perfectly restored and much improved in appearance and colour, having become thick, dark, and glossy ; it also curls freely without the use of paper, which it never did before. To all my friends I have warmly recommended your Ma cassar Oil as an excellent n liberty to sho w thi s l e tt er , or print, I beg y ou w ill no t 'restorative and preservative for the hair.

Ask for "Rowland's Macassar Oil." All others are fraudulent counterfeits. MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BELPER.—The inquest on the bodies of Yeomans and his wife was concluded on Thurs day, when, after the examination of several witnesses, the Coroner said that probably sufficient evidence had been adduced, and the jurythen declared that the evidence of that day corroborated their opinion of the day b e fo re , and re 'turned a verdict " That 'William Yeomans killed his wife while labouring under a fit of temporary insanity, and after wards, daring the continuance of the same fit of insanity, destroyed himself by cutting his throat." The Coroner, on receiving the verdict, said that his opinion remained un changed. that the verdict was the jury's, and not his, and that he thought nothing like satisfactory proof of insanity had beau given. Thus terminated this painful incittii7. THE QUEEN'S DRAWING-ROOM LADIES' DRESSES. HER MAJESTY.

At least four hundred personages of rank graced tita splendid ball-room by their presence, and the costumes ge nerally were of the most elegant description, the majority of the ladies appearing in the same dresses as at the Queen's drawing-room, and we noticed a large number who wore feathers. The Marquis of Huntley, Lord Charles Wellesley, Sir Frederick Trench, his Excellency the Swedish Minister and his two sons, the Barons Bjornstjerna, M. de Berg, his Ex cellency the Belgian Minister, Count Goltz, Baron Witzehern, Baron de Linden, &c., were among those gentlemen who were attired in full uniform. , At the usual hour, eleven o'clock, the company began to arrive, and it was after one o'clock before the carriages dis continued to set down visitors. The M , prchioness of Londonderry arrived shortly after eleven, accompanied by Lady Alexandrina Vane and Lady Louisa Churchill; the Countess of Jersey and her daughter, Lady. Clementina Villiers, came shortly afterwards ; and just before dancing commenced, Viscount Palmerston, with the Noble Viscountess, and his Excellency the Belgian Minister, and Madame Van der Weyer, entered the ball-room. All the lady patronesses in town were present on this occasion; Lady Willoughby de Eresby and the Countess of Kinnoul being abroad, and the Countess Grosvenor remains in Dor setahire till next month. Di. Tolbecque and his celebrated band officiated for the first time in this. capital. There was evidently some curio • sity evinced to hear the performances of his famed orchestra. The expectations entertained of its merits were fully borne out. His Serene Highness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar came from the Queen Dowager's party. The Marchioness of Lon donderry, Countess of Jersey, and Viscountess Palmerston, as ladies patronesses, occupied the benches at the extreme end of the ball-room, surrounded by their friends, among whom were observed Viscountess Palmerston, his Excellency Count Bjernstjema, his Excellency the Belgian Minister, Madame Van der Weyer, Duke of Leeds, Countess Powis, Countesiof Rosebery, Lady Granville Somerset, &c. In the midst of the gay and brilliant throng, the rich court dress and valuable jewels of the Marchioness of London derry were most conspicuous for their splendour. Count A. Esterhazy, Baron de Brenner, and Count Rosen were among the foreigners of rank present, in addition to those above-named; and the Duke of Leeds, Marquis of Headfort, and Ladies H. and 0. Taylour, Marquis of Douro, Marquis of Huntley, Marchioness of Wellesley, Earl and Countess Nelson and Lady Nelson, Countess of Powis, Countess of Rosebery, and Ladies Louisa and Ann Primrose, Viscount Clive, Lord Lennox, Lady Caroline Gordon Len nox, Lord Charles Wellesley, Viscount Palmerston, Countess of Camperdown and Lady E. Duncan, Lord John Manners, Viscount Hereford, and Hon. M. Devereux, &c. ILLUMINATIONS.—The illuminations on Thursday in celebration of her Majesty's birthday were more extensive than on the previous anniversary, although still chiefly con fined to the various club-houses and places of amusement, and the residences of the Royal tradespeople. The extreme fineness of the weather, and the brilliancy of the evening, which more resembled an evening in June than in April, drew out an almost countless multitude of persons of all ages and grades, who, for the purpose of viewing the illumina tions, paraded the principal thoroughfares of the metropolis from dusk until long after midnight. Innumerable carriages, carts, and vehicles of all descriptions, with omnibuses from places round the metropolis, filled inside and out, crowded the streets. Several hundred policemen, drafted from every division, were on duty in the streets during the evening, and so admirable were the arrangements that no confusion took place, nor have we heard of any serious accident. Rear-Admiral Wiz, C. 8., is suffering from severe indisposition at Plymouth. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—On Thursday at one o'clock nine houses situated in Belton-street and Brown low-street, Long-acre, were disposed of by auction, to be taken down for the new street from Waterloo-bridge to Bloomsbury. Nearly the whole of the houses in Belton street, on the east side, will now in a few days be removed, and there are only a few in Hanover-street to be taken down. The Mercers' Company have had a large area of ground vacant in Hanover-street for several months. At the upper part of Belton-street the workmen have been employed in putting down the concrete, preparatory to laying the founda . tion-stone for the new church of Christ Church, which cere mony is expected shortly to take place. This is the 27th sale of houses for the various new lines of streets in this part of the metropolis by order of the Commissioners of 'Woods and Forests, which will make above 200 houses that have been cleared away. Last week some houses in Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury, facing Charlotte-street Chapel, which will have to be cleared away, were sold by order of the Commissioners. TEE "FREE' CHURCH IN DUNDEE.—On Monday evening a numerous meeting of the Rev. Mr. Law's congre gation was held in their chapel, Reform-street, Dundee, Captain John Smith in the chair. After prayer by Mr. Law, he shortly gave his reasons for resigning connexion with the "Free" Church, and returning into the Establ i shment. In his explanation he stated, that he considered the non intrusion . r rinciple secured by Lord Aberdeen's Bill ; and that that rea son for separating was now removed. He then retired, that the congregation might decide for themselves as to how they were to act in the circumstances. Mr. Ivory Kidd, one of the elders, after stating that all the elders and deacons had agreed to join the Established Church along with their pastor, moved a petition to the presbytery, praying that the congregate in might be admitted into communion with them, which, being seconded by the clerk of Mr. Law's session, was unanimously adopted. A few of the " Free " Church party were in attendance, and one elder made himself rather con spicuous in attempting dissension, which was speedily put down. Mr. Law returned, after the petition had been re • solved on, and concluded with prayer. As we were leaving the members were pressing forward to sign the petition • and we understand, that in the space of half an hour nearly 200 n ames were adhibited.—pundee Parer of Tuesday. IRELAND. THE STATE TRIALS. , A ft e r r n n n r. o 2 n 4 on. yeis)teurißlLaiNvagents, the motion for a new trial, delayed from Monday last, on the the traversers with ap plication of the Attorney-General, will come on to-morrow morning at the sitting of the Court of Queen's Bench. The and the their notice agen ts served affidavits filed by the Crown, on which to ground their re sistance to that motion, are those of the clerks of the peace, Messrs. Archer and Dickinson, George Magrath, their chief clerk, William Kemmis, Crown solicitor, and also the afti- ' davit of a person named Magrane, a clerk in the office of the clerks athe peace. There is another affidavit, but upon an immaterial point, from Mr. Hodges, the Government. re porter. The notice of the Crown apprises the traversers that "the notes of the Learned Judges will be used in opposing tl•!e motion." The Crown will serve another notice this after noon, to . the effect that the affidavit of Magrane, filed this day, will also be relied upon. Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., will open to-morrow morning, on the part of Mr. O'Connell, and, it is understood, will occupy the entire day. The Monitor of this evening states that, it is arranged that Mr. Hatcliell, Q.C., will follow, on behalf of Mr. Ray; then Mr. Moore for the Rev. Mr. Tierney; Mr. M'Donagh, Q.C., for Mr. Barrett ; Mr. Fitzgibbon, Q.C., for Mr. John Gray; Mr. O'Hagan for Mr. Duffy; Sir Coleman O'Loghlen foz Mr. J. O'Connell ; and Mr. Close for Mr. Steel. The charge made by the traversers, of fraudulent sup pression of jurors, mostly Roman Catholics, has not been at all answered by the affidavits filed for the Crown. On the first day of the State trials the traversers put in a challenge to the array. The Attorney-General demurred, and thereby, in point of law, admitted the truth of the challenge, which charged the fraud ; but, by such demur, he avoided the trial, in open Court, of the truth or falsehood of the charge by triers selected by the Judges. Mr. Shaw, the Recorder, who made the jury list, had been subpoenaed by the traversers, and was sitting under the bench in Court. Mr. Magrath, the chief clerk of the clerks of the peace,was also in attendance, with all the necessary documents. Thus the Attorney-General then avoided a trial, when all the witnesses could have been exa mined and cross-examined in open Court. If the charge of ' fraudulent- suppression -were false;' the Crown would then have had the verdict of the triers appointed by the Judges, and the traversers would have been shut out from renewing the same charge upon motion for a new trial. But now the Crown comes forward to appose that motion, with the affi davits of some of the persons in the office of the clerks of the peace, who merely exculpate themselves, and attribute the omission of jurors to accident, without being able to state anything positive on the subject. Each of the traversers is prepared to be heard by counsel in support of the motion for a new trial. It is said that the Crown will apply to the Court to limit them to two counsel, and upon this point an argument may arise, when Mr. White side shall have concluded his address. IMPORTANT.-TO THE LADIES. (From Punch.) The great success which the " Strong Wind" has met with in the lottery of wedlock, has induced his companions in arms and paint—the Ojibbeway Indians—to advertise for English wives; and as the said Indians are very shortly about to leave the country, early applications on the 'part of the ladies are desirable. The Indians have already at least one wife, but they promise, even as " Strong Wind" promised, to remain constant to their new helpmates; a promise which, upon their return to the back woods, they will doubtless most honourably perform. We subjoin the advertisements : No. 1. _ " An-QuE-wx-zawrrs—the Boy Chief. The adver tiser is in his seventy-fifth year, and shall be happy to form a matrimonial engagement with any English lady of known property. The Boy Chief, in his admiration of the martial character of England, will have no objection to the widow of a general officer, if under forty. Her property must not be secured upon herself. She must know how to cure bear's flesh, to hoe, and rake, and dig, and reap. She must also be able to skin rabbits, and clean pipes. Principals only treated with. Apply from tea to twelve. " N.B.—The squaw must have been vaccinated. No. 11. PA.TAI4-NA-QUET-A-WER-DE—the Driving Cloud. The advertiser is the War Chief, aged 51, of a remarkably placable and humourous disposition. Ile has no objection to treat with a young English lady, and he will, on a mar riage settlement, secure to her his scalps. The lady must have been tenderly and affectionately brought up, as she will have to carry the wigwam poles of the Driving Cloud upon all journeys. She must bring a sufficient income to keep her husband in tobacco, rum, and laziness. English securities preferred: no holders of Pennsylvanian bonds will be treated with." No. 111. " WE-NISH-KA.-WEA-BE.—Flying Gull and Hereditary Chief, is open to the offers of the ladies of England. Having inherited his dignity, not won it by any deeds or virtues of his own, advertisers are confidently referred to the Ojibbeway Peerage, 4to. The birth of the Flying Gull will not allow him to treat with anybody below a Baronet's daughter." GISH-E-GOSH-E GHEE, the Moonlight Night, and SAII-31A, Tobacco, in the same unblushing manner, also forwarded their advertisements ; but as Punch discovered them both to be married men, with their wives here with them, he, with his known devotion to the proprieties, has, of course, refused to insert any such invitations to the connubial state. PROJECTED ALLIANCES.—The contemplated alh ance between Mr. Charles Beauclerk, son of the Rev. Lord Frederick Beauclerk, and the accomplished daughter of a gentleman of large fortune in the county of Sussex, is ex pected to be solemnised early in the ensuing month. A marriage is said to be on the tapis between the daughter of an Hon. Baronet representing a division of one of the eastern counties, and a gentleman holding an appointment, we be lieve, at Court. Lord Newport's marriage with Miss Forester is expected to be solemnised on Tuesday next. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE KING OF NAPLES.—We have received the following from a corres pondent at Navies, dated the, 15th inst. :—" At the same time that the King received the congratulations of the Court and the corps diplomatique on the birth of the Princess Maria Immaculate Clementine, he was also congratulated on his escape from assassination, under the following circumstances : —A few days since a sergeant of the Royal Guard, named Barbieri, got an udience of the King, on pretext of asking grace for his brother, who had insulted his officer, and was to be severely punished. This pretended brother was the sergeant himself, who had shaved his mustachios, and put on plain clothes, The King, with his usual kindness, told the man to go to the colonel, and say that he hoped some leniency might be shown. Barbieri retired, seemingly with reluc tance; but had no sooner re-entered the waiting-room than he Legged the officer on guard to allow him to return, as he wished to reveal to the King a conspiracy that existed to assassinate him. The officer thought he perceived the handle of a pistol, which was partly hid by a handkerchief, in the fellow's hat, and on seeing it the fellow tried to escape, but was pursued and taken. The pistol was loaded, primed, and even cocked ; and a second was found in his pocket, with a phial containing poison. On the sergeant undergoing . an examination, he made a long story about the King receivi n g a petition from him four years ago to promote him to the grade of officer, to enable him to marry a girl, whose parents would not consent to the union unless he were an officer, and that if the King refused him now he intended to shoot him self in the King's presence ! His Majesty appears, under all c i rcu mstances, to have had a narrow escape."—Galignani. STATE OF TRADE.—We have had a very quiet week, both buyers and sellers suspending operations until the intentions of Government are made known. It is, however, expected that no sooner will their plans be declared, than a great demand will spring up for produce ; and it is is generally thought higher prices will be obtained. Cotton this week barely supports its position, and buyers operate with an advantage over last week ; specu lators are very shy. For Manchester goods large orders have been received, but the English agents purchase with great caution. The corn trade is again assuming a gloomy aspect, and prices an now so surely on the wane, that it will be a work of time to effect any material reduction of the present rate of duty ; the consequence is, that bonded stock can be purchased on terms equi valent, or nearly so, to the present duty-pail rates, less the duty of 17s. per quarter fur wheat. Ship ping business is active, chiefly owing to the enor mous demand for guano traffic. All low-priced vessels have eagerly been taken for this business, and many ships have been sold at rates nearly double the price de manded twelve months ago. Others have refused to sell and their vessels have gone out on owners' account. The ships now arriving are yielding very extravagant profits, but it remains to be seen whether the fleet of vessels now on their way to the African islands will afford the same result. Surely, if the demand for this manure continues to take off the supplies as they arrive, we shall, ere long, feel its effects in the reduced prices of provisions. — Liverpool Mercury.

The first, in the I car y part of the evening, broke out upon the premises in the occupation of Mr. Sea grave, 1, St. Ann's-place, St. George's-road, New Kent-road. Flumes were discovered issuing from the floor of a loft at some distance from the d -lr we ing-house. An alarm was im mediately raised, and the engines sent for. Three of the brigade and the West of England engines speedily arrived, and plenty of water bei ng a t hand, the fury of the fire was checked before it had consumed more than 2001. worth of property. Shortly afterwards a fire occurred in the shop of Mr. Bennett, hosier, &c., 135, Lambeth-walk. It appears that from some unexplained cause, the flames caught the light articles in the show window, which instantly ignited. and burnt out the window, destroying the frame, glass. &e.. .The fire was extinguished by the inmates ; but the engines from the several stations in the vicinity were prompt in their attendance and vigorous in their efforts, "'I know a little about Sir James Graham; I have bad to battle against him when fighting the dine.. of the working classes in this county; and a man who took steps to procure a report which was false, merely for the purpose of crushi,g a Member of the House of Commons, who raised his Voice in defence of the suffering poor, would not hesitate to keep the working classes in the manufacturing districts in a state ef degrading slavery. What was his conduct in my own eas: ? I stuck to the man like a leech. I told him the report of Mr. Mott, his Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, was false, 1 was determined to bring it before the House until justice was done ; but he feared to meet me, and dismissed the poor tool who had been his degraded and ignominious instrument in fabri cating the injurious report. "' That is not all Sir J. Graham has done of late, fur the purpose of putting down the advocates of the poor in the House of Gammons. You will remember that Mr_ Walter was returned for Nottingham, and I have had the honour of battling by that gentleman's side the enemies of the poi r. No man has resisted the new Poor-law more rigorously. er at a greater sacrifice of time and money, than Mr. Wafter. It was, therefore, felt necessary by Sir J. Graham to get him out of the House of Commons, fur Sir James was a man who could not bear to hear the truth spoken, especieliv on that subject. A petition was presented against Mr. Wel ter's return. The Committee sat several days, and entered into an inquiry as to the alleged bribery and corruption wlaelt • Mr. Walter had committed in obtaining his seat. They could not prove that he had spent one farthing, roe bad he; they could only prove that his friends in the town of Not tingham, not his agents, bad spent between 301. and 401; in money and what they call treating. The Committee was divided—there were three Whigs for throwing him out, and three Tories for keeping Mr. Walter in, Mr. Hogg, the Mem ber for Beverley, one of the most pure boroughs in the king dom, forsoothe-sehether he got his seat for 401. I do nub know—but this Tory Chairman aided Sir James Graham and the Government in unseating Mr. Walter. Mr. Hogg tried to explain away his conduct on that occasion ; the whole of the Government side of the House, on which I sat, listened with feelings of disgust while he higgled and haggled tbroug;s his explanation ; but theie was one man who vociferonely cheered, and that one man was Sir James Graham.' " Motion made and question proposed,—' That this House will take the said complaint into consideration upon Friday' next.'

The case is expected to last nearly the whole of to-morrow. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT April 26. (Bef :re Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRAM.) CHAMBERLAYNE V. THE CHESTER AND BIRKENHEAD RAIL WAY COMPANY. The hearing of this case, which was a motion for an in junction, was brought to a termination this morning. His HoNoult, though he did not pronounce judgment oit the whole case, made some comments on the arguments used at the bar; and intimated a decided opinion that no sui'i cient case had been made out for granting the injunction. lie would read the papers in the case before he pronounced judgment. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, April 26. (Sittings in Banco ) The Court took the Special Paper to-day, and was engaged the whole of the morning in hearing arguments in cases pos sessing no feature of the least public interest. BAIL COURT, April 26. (Before Mr. Justice *COLERIDGE.) IN RE WALKER. Mr. WORTLEY applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why an attorney of this Court, Thomas Walker, should not be struck off the Rolls. He had been au attorney of this: Court since the year 1836. At the late assizes for the eN,,41 . 1.7 of York, he had pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with the forgery of an "interim order" of protection under the Bankruptcy Act, and had been sentenced to lg months' imprisonment by Mr. Baron Rolfe. This sente%ca Walker was now undergoing. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Take a rule to show cause. The Court rose shortly after eleven o'clock. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, April 26. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) TURNER V. TURNER. Mr. Cockburn (with whom was Mr. Saunders) appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Whiteley conducted the ease tbr the. defendant. This action was brought by the plaintiff (who sued in. forma pauperis) against the defendant, his daughter-in-1 , 1%w and a widow, to recover the possession of household fur A ttire. of the estimated value of 100/. The plaintiff was merly a pianoforte maker, in the service of Messrs. Stodart, of Golden-square, but having met with an accident of a se rious character, which compelled him to relinquish his ,m -ployment, which he has subsequently been unable to follow, an annuity of 10/. per annum was alto veil him by his late employers. One of his sons married the defendant in 1833, and the plaintiff, being desirous of enjoying domestic quietude, deposited a quantity of furniture in his son's house, and resided with him and his wife up to 1838, when ill-health compelled him to leave London for Northumberland, whores he is at present residing. His son died in May. 1841.. Witnesses, relations of the plaintiff, were called to prove thec plaintiff's right to the furniture. One, the plaintiff's brother,. stated that the defendant offered to marry him about three: months after her husband's death; but, on being sharply, cross-examined, he admitted that he was first guilty of the , " soft impeachment," but that the defendant declined to become, his spouse; but subsequently she said, " Why don't ou t marry me," but his passion having on the former occasions led him to make a rash and inconsiderate vow, ha refused. Mr. WILATELEY read several letters from the plaintiff to. the defendant, applying for small remittances of money, but. never offering any claim to the furniture, which it was only reasonable to suppose lie would have claimed when in sucbl distressed circumstances as appeared from his letters. 73te:. Learned Counsel then adverted to the bringing of the axtiont by the plaintiff in forma pauperis, which, whether the, jury returned a verdict for him or the defendant, was, so far; tt.s expense of the action was concerned, a matter of indifferesce 4 , as in either case the defendant would have to pay the costs. It was further contended that the furniture was given to the defendant's husband at his marriage. Mr. COCKBURN replied at some length, and ably argued the plaintiff's right to the furniture. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) UNION-HALL. Sarah Bennett, a respectable looking young woman, was charged with attempting to drown herself in the Thames. Policeman 95 M stated that while on duty that morning at two o'clock, at Bankside, he saw the defendant, who was walking close by the brink of the river. She was crying, and when he asked her what was the matter with her, she replied that she was in great trouble of mind, that she had spent. some money which was not her own, and that she was afraid to go home. She then suddenly ran a . . short distance . and divestin g h erse lf o f h er b onnet: and shawl, was about to throw herself into the river, when the policeman ran up and took her to fats station-house. When at the station-house she said that gift,* lived with her mother, in Plough-court, Holborn, who was. the owner •of some small tenements in that locality, aura that's. having expended some of her money without her FAnction u she was afraid to return home. Mr. num.. said that he must have some perscm to he an swerable that the defendant would not repeat the attempt, and she was, therefore, locked up until some of her friends were apprised of her situation. HER MAJESTY'S BIRTE-DAY.—WINDSOR, THuRS DAY.—This event was celebrated to-day with the usual de monstrations of loyalty and attachment. The bells of the parish church, and the Chapel of St. George, were rung at intervals, from an early hour in the morning, throughout the day. At noon the 2d battalion of the Scots Fusilier Gu ard s marched from the infantry barracks to the Long Walk,. under the command of Colonel Colville, and at one o'clock fired a feu-de-joie in honour of the day. The troop., after giving three cheers for their Sovereign, returned to Oreir quarters.
