IA present this Prospectus to the public, it is unnecessary to sdwell upon the utility and importance. of Life Assurance: the srprising increase of Life Assurance Offices at once shows that as i t has become better enderstoocl, it has been more generally adopted; Eot Merely as a pr u d ent prov i sion in the case of sudden or prema. fare death but also as a convenient and necessary step in various 2ta nsactions of life. T he great obj ect o f those who adopt Life Assurance is to combine 4°lnPlete security with moderate expense, and in considering this "Object it is of the utmost importance to examine the principles %Pon which Institutions of this kind are founded. The existing C°ol Penies may be classed under three heads, via. Proprietary emn Panies which app ropr i ate a l l the profits to the Shareholders, to the co mplete exclusio n o f th e A ssured; Proprietary Companies Which divide the profits between the Shareholders and the Assured; and Mutual Assurance. Companies which distribute the whole of the preits amongst the Assured, who are mutual assurers to each other W ithout the intervention of a subscribed capital. Before Life Assurance was so well understood as it is at present, ;ilt was considered requisite, in order to afford solid security for the e Pa yment of losses, to have a perm anent su b scribed capital ; and '4.1°1.4 being the first consideration, the public, for the most tPahrt. preferred Proprietary Companies, although no share of '*pe Profits Issas allotted to the assured. Undoubtedly a subscribed iths all paid up and safely invested, is a security as far as it goes; eh real and enduring security consists in the rate of Premium arg e d bein being correctly graduated with respect to the age, and 13 a trifling degree higher than what the actual mortality re. nquires. So long as this is the case the security of a permanent ecribed capital will remain merely nominal ; in proof of which, .._" Is a fact worthy of notice, that in all the Proprietary Companies, wtt h scarcely an exception, only a fraction of their subscribed e_:pitals is paid up, they never having had occasion to make a call thelr more than the first instalment; and for this nominal security old Proprietary Companies appropriate the whole of the surplus arisin g hem the pre m i ums, exceeding the risks, to the Proprietors. :"t, As t nature of Life Ass urance became more generally known ..e d e lsadv anteges of assurin g i n the old Proprietary Companies be '' a pparent, and, in corsequence, new Proprietary Companies Were instituted, whose t e rietors and Ass ~r ed ; plan is to divide the profits between the Prois ol opri but everything that c a n b e sa id aga i nst the potrdss, to 'in' theetary C simpanies, which t a k e a ll th e prof i ts, applies, more ofi les t . new P r op r i e t ary C ompan i es,which take a part of the ' e a per manen t su b scr ib ed capital affords no real or sub stantial i ' assure., Jenefit for the enormous expense they entail upon the es es .' -Il e great success of the " Equitable Society," is sufficient proof li at the prin c i ple of Mutual Assurance affords ample security to the hure d. This se cur it y cons i sts alone in the rate of premium paid b y the assured being rather higher than the rate necessary to meet the actual demands upon the Society. The surplus, thus derived, being ultimately given back to the assured, they in the end only Pe) the bare amount of premium required by the actual mortality In the Society. t ne, If it w ere possible to ascertain exactly the mortality of the fu. liu Life Assurance might be reduced to a simple calculation, h ev°i d of doubt o r speculation and such a premium m i g ht b e ti " er ted as w ou ld place the stability of the Society beyond all ques. i s ", end at th e same time leave no surplus to be accumulated. seta a s 1 f such knowledge is unattainable, the only data that are af 21'i Id are d er i ved from the mortality of the past ; the stability of "I Soci ety therefore requ i res that the prem i um shall be higher than what has be en ascertained by expel ience to be requisite, in order to Provide against any increase of mortality which might occur. ~....I t i s Most e ssential in Mutual Assurance, that the Scare of Pre ,7lurns should b e graduated with respect to the different ages, wills me greatest nicety, to prevent an old life paying too little, and a young one too much, or vice versa; for if the Scale of Premiums in 1:c l4_ resPect. be properly regulated, it matters little whether such e be somewhat higher than it should be, since the whole surplus Is returned to the assured, though on the score of convenience, a low .. p re mium, if a f a i r and reasonable surplus be preserved, is 'Mlles desirable. Mutual Assurance possesses this great and prominent advantage over Proprietary Companies; namely, that the latter, either b . y advantageous— tgolitaherate of premium may make Life Assurances dig. Public, or, by charging too low, may render uncertain the responsibility of the Society; while, in Mutual Assurance, the premi um will always adjust itself to the actual cha r amount of mortality, an d no more nor less, i n t h e en d , w ill b e fled than what the engagements of the Society will warrant. To all who attentively consider the subject, it must be evident that kut anbr ua l Assuran ce, b oth on account of the comp l ete secur i ty it ds, and of the moderate expense it imposes, is the mode most beneficial to those who may be desirous of adopting Lite Assurance. A leading f eature of this Society, will be to afford to the humbler tClasses the means of securing to themselves and their families a t7"i3ion ag a i nst sickness old age, or death, as well as by pro fi t i ng sm all oans, i n th e many opportunities of bettering their condi °Os Which the use of a little money affords. „,, i ll i Neat Societies have held out some resource against such f t , ' 1 i but, unfortunately, the constitution and management o . tre i nstitutions have in most instances been defective an s cl o u sin ns a y ll: %T o at ie ; the amount of their several investments has been to the sne: the expenses of management have been disproportionate has received : so that, on the whole, the result of these Societies "as been anything but satisfactory. t Not withstanding the extent to which Savings Banks are resorted b O5 t he Amo un t s o f D epos its and Grants of Annuities are li m it e d 9 the Act of Parliament. Wh ile the Life Assurance Societies, hitherto established, offer considerable advantages to the upper classes, there is yet no Society en a footing which puts its entire benefits within the reach of the W or king man. And these Societies are, fur the mo s t p ar t , con fi ne d one Particular object, which is thus burthened with the expense of separate management. It is with the view of supplying this defect, and combining under °no management all the advantages which are derivable from Benefit Societies, Savings Banks, and Life Assurance Societies, that the LONDON and WESTMINSTER MUTUAL LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY has been established. The usefulness of Life Assurance, in all its forms and modifications, will be extended, by affording every facility and accommodation compatible with the general interest of the assured, and by avoiding all unnecessary and arbitrary restrictions in the rules and regulations, which deter so aaany from assuring their lives. It is not intended to be the means by which a few may be greatly benefited, as is the case in Proprietary Companies; but, on the contrary, to offer to the public Life Assu rance on the best principle, and on the most beneficial terms, amid it will be found to embrace all the good features of the few Mutual Assurance Societies that at present exist. In the formation of the tables the greatest care will be bestowed to graduate the rates of premium as to the different ages, according to data, detived from the best saurces of information ; and while the con ven i ence of the public is studied by not setting them too hi gh, the stability of the Society will be constantly kept in view by not fixing them too low. a r his Society will assure for the whole life, or for a limited term, - , t n i, / snin from 20/. to 5,000/. on a single life, joint lives, or sur. t.,,, l4 thiPs ; will grant immediate, temporary, deferred, and con tiatZ Annuities; will purchase Reversionary and other In. L oa " ; will grant Endowments to Children; and will advance „ ns upon Policies, or upon good personal security, after the man. .. er Of Scotch Banks. .., 4 , n1 , ° nltst other forms of Life Assurance, Policies will be — "tea for the amount assured, to be received at the end of ._ terr a of years, although the party assured may be alive, I t r the assurance to be determined nevertheless by his eath, a filth it should take place before the expiration of the term; L e h r at a Person may himself enjoy the fruits of his prudence, and --seu tie omfortable competency for advanced life. In anjo same way the Society will grant a deferred annuity, to be y ears Yed after thespayment of a premium for a certain number of the at a given age ; and by paying a somewhat higher premium, : e sarnevvill be granted upon the conditien, that if the party should lie before he arrive at that age, a proportion, or the whole of the rilinnents shall be returned by the Society. eia l s e , order to make Life Assurance available to the Industrious , ain els the premiums may be payable Monthly, Quarterly,. Half. "... --I.I Y, or Annually ; and to obviate the necessity of allowing poll. wee to drop in case of temporary inability to pay the premium, the , a BD , ti etY will advance on the security of the policy alone its estimated lisle P remiums may also be commuted into a single payment, or ... a limited number of annual payments. It i s , at at, h ighly important, also, from the rapid progress of emi. - ," ° n, and the consequent great increase of Colonial trans. -° i that Life Assurance should be extended as far as prac... -table to our foreign settlements. It has been a subject ot asinlie°l consideration g in what manner and how far such a esirahl Zli----e object cansafely be carried into effect.

In case of death by the hands of justice or by suicide, although the party may have insured his own life, the policy shall not be in validated, provided it I as been bona fide assigned to any party for a valuab'e consideration ; and if it has not been so assigned, the legal representatives of the deceased shall be entitled to receive a sum equal to the amount which the Society would have given fur the purchase of the policy on the slay before such decease. irthe object of any member in assuring his ow❑ life, or the life of another, has been attained, and he should be desirous to substitute the life of some other party, the Board of Directors shall have the power to permit the same to be stone, provided the health of such other party be deemed satisfactory, and his age do not exceed that of the member in the place of whom he is substituted. Policies, after five years' standing, on being deposited with the Society, may be kept in force by the payment each ;ear of half the premium, and interest on all arrears, in which case the remaining portion of the premium may be deducted from the amount assured when the policy becomes a claim. The Premiums upon all assurances may be payable annually, half yearly, quarterly, . or monthly, as may suit the convenience of parties assuring; and the year may commence from Ist January, let April, Ist July, or Ist October, according to the time when the Assurance is effected. All claims upon the Society, accruing by death, will be paid within one month after proof of the death of the party or parties upon whose life or lives the assurance has been effected. This Society will also grant immediate, temporary, deferred, and contingent Annuities, with the option, in the casts of a deferred `Annuity, of the,Subscriber having the whole or any part of his pay ments returned , shotild he di - 0 - before the COMlTlerlCensimt of the A nin.ity, on paying a proportionate increase of premium. It will also grant Policies for securing Endowments to Children on their attaining a specified age, conditioned, as in the pre vious case, fur repayment of the premium in the event of the child's death. The Society will grant Loans on the security of Policies, whether on Life Assurance, Annuities, or Endowments; or otherwise, as may be though. proper. The Loans may be repaid by moderate in. stahnents, to be agreed upon when they are negociated. The Society will at all times be prepared to treat on the most equitable terms for the purchase of its Policies, whenever the assured may desire to dispose of them. The Society shall be at liberty to purchase and re-sell any Rever sionary and other Interests that may be thought advantageous. A temporary Capital Stock of 500,0004 will be raised to guarantee the immediate engagements of the Society in shares of 251. each, bearing interest at 51 per cent. per annum, which Capital may be discontinued at the end of five years, or any time after that period, when the Directors shall consider the income and accumulated fund of the Society are of such amount as to render its continuance un. necessary.

The advantages which the LONDON and WESTMINSTER MUTU 4L LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY holds out are shortly these :—The principle upon which it is founded, viz., Mutual Assu rance, draws a distinct and Woad line between it anti all Proprietary Companies. It not only embodies all the new features of the modern Proprietary Companies, but also preserves the characteristics of Mutual Assurance Societies, whose success indisputably proves the excellence of their principle. In addition to which several con venient and novel modes of Life Assurance, and Deferred Annui ties, are offered in such a way as to enable the humbler classes to secure every advantage which Life Assurance and other Societies have hitherto held out to the affluent, or Benefit Societies and Savings Banks to theworking classes, freed from the exclusiveness of the former and the many obvisus defects of the latter.

UNITARIANISM. PRICE sd. IMPORTANT CASE.—The Secession Presbytery of Glasgow met on Tuesday, and after some routine busi ness, proceeded to a case of considerable importance to members of every religious society in the kingdom. The case proceeded on a protest and appeal by Mr. R. Russell, member of Cambridgosistreet Church, against a decision of the Session, that he should be censured and admonished, for having on several occasions, and parti cularly on the evening of a communion Sabbath, left his own church, and worshipped in the Rey. Mr. Harris's (Unitarian) Chapel. Parties were called. The records of Session having been read— Mr. RUSSELL then read a statement of which we can only give a short abstract : Moderator,—l have hitherto been a warm admirer of the United Secession Church. It is the Church of my fathers—l was baptised in it. It is endeared to me by many hallowed associations connected with my child hood and early life, a pe r i o d at w hi c h i t i s well known the mind is peculiarly susceptible of receiving its deepest and most lasting impressions. . I beg now to lay before you a brief statement of thrpri vileges which I claim the right of exercising, without, as I think, giving any just cause of offence, or forfeiting in any way my character as a Christian or as a member of the Secession Church. I beg to say, in the first place, that I hold the opinion that it is necessary, in the present divided state of the Church, that every professing Christian ought to connect himself with sonic particular section of it, and more immediately with some particular congregation, whose prosperity and usefulness he is under spe,ial obligation to promote. This connection, however, in my opinion, is not to be understood as fettering his li berty, so as to prevent him from attending, other churches, even of other sects, on occasions when be may be inclined to do so. That spirit of exclusiveness and sectarianism which would prevent this, ought, I think, to be for ever eradicated from the mind of Christians. • • . I submit it to the judgment of' every member of this Court, if it be at all consistent in those who abhor and protest against the usurpation of Popery, who call on Catholics to free themselves from the tram mels of their Church, yet, in the face of such an abhor rence of priestly domination, to turn round and attempt to place the very same restrictive yoke on the neck of a brother . Does not every man feel in his bosom a principle which despises railing and ridicule, which resists compulsion, but which, in the hour of rational friendly intercourse, would readily open to conviction, and willingly yield to tha genial influ ence of Christian love ; and, moreover, is not this one of the striking features of the Christian religion, that it teaches its friends freely to intermingle with those of another faith, in order that its salutary principles may be more and more diffused, believed, and practised among mankind. In proof of this we have the Saviour's ex ample in attending the Jewish synagogue, and conforming to the ceremonies of that faith, which he had come to set aside, and even after the entire abolition of the Old Testament ritual was effected by his obedience and sacri fice, and had ascended to the right hand of the Majesty on high, some of his immediate followers submitted to the painful rite of circumcision. The Apostle Paul became all things to all men, that he might gain the more. When he went up to the Areopagus on Mars Hill, and beheld the idolatrous Athenians wor shipping their deities, instead of railing on the idola trous worshippers, he rather assumed that they were right in regard to the object of their worship, and, taking advantage of an inscription on one of their altars to the Unknown God, declared Him unto them. Now all this is an exemplification of the principles I con tend for, viz., a proper respect for the religious opinions of those who differ from us ;—friendly intercourse with them, that the cause of truth may be thereby pro moted. Ireland, in our own day, may be brought forward as an example of the woful necessity and total disregard of these principles. The vast majority of the people of that conntry, as you all know, are Catholics, and Protestants have struggled in vain for centuries to propagate among them their views of Chris tianity, and why ? because, instead. of exemplifying in their conduct towards them a spirit of forbearance and kindness, instead of cultivating social intercourse in a friendly and becoming temper, they assumed the haughty tone of dictating authoritatively a different faith to them, denounced and ridiculed, in the most arrogant and insult ing manner, the ceremonies which the Catholics have been taught to believe were sacred, and ought to be preserved inviolable. As toile expected, the effect of this line of conduct towards them has been to blue ilietn — talarts - mant y than ever to their original faith, and inspire them with a deeper hatred of the Protestant religion; and thus a deep rooted enmity has been excited between the parties, which will prevent a reconciliation during, at least, the present generation. A different experiment, as you know, is now being made on th e G overnment p l an of education, where I they meet on common grounds, hold disputed points in abeyance, and seem willing to cultivate friendly feelings where they agree. Believing, therefore, that the conduct of the Protestants in Ireland towards their Roman Ca tholic brethren has been most unchristian, I think that the less we imitate that spirit, so in proportion are we most likely to produce those feelings in them, which are most likely to gain them over to what we consider the truth, Believing, Moderator, as in my heart I do, that these principles are the principles of the Bible, and, acting as I think, in perfect consistency with them, I hold (and this is exactly where the Sessionand I are at issue), I hold that church-members who may have a desire to understand the arguments of those who acknowledge and profess to take the Bible for their authority and rule in support of their systems, may, for their own satisfaction, and for the sake of truth, be allowed to mingle freely and familiarly with their members, or to attend their places of worship, when they may occasienally be inclined to do so, without being chargeable with dereliction of principle for so doing. From my boyhood I have held these opinions, and am resolved to hold them still. They are doctrines which could not give up without destroying the groundwork of personal religion, and abandoning my highest privileges as a rational being. Take away from me the right to hear and to judge for myself, and in my own estimation, I dwindle into a mere machine, regulated and guided, not by my own conscience, as I ought to be, but by the will, and it may be, the caprice of others. Now, this is the pre cise position in which I at presentstand with the Session. lam not charged with immorality—l am not accused of heresy ; but only of indulging what I conceive to be a laudable desire to hear the truth of doctrines, which I deem of the highest importance, questioned and dis cussed, fully satisfied that the cause of truth, on what ever side it lies, will and must prevail. • • • I have thus, Moderator, briefly explained my views to you on this subject. Whether this Court may consider them in keeping with the Christian character, it is for you to say. • The Rev. Mr. Eche, Moderator of Session, next ad dressed the Court. He need scarcely say that they came into this Court not with any fear of their judicial sentence being overturned. He loved peace, but he preferred the truth. He respected Mr. Russell as a man, but when the honour of our Heavenly Master, and the purity of the Secession Church was at stake, lie "knew no man after the flesh." Mr, Russell was not ignorant of the Unita rian principles ; from peculiar circumstances he knew them more, perhaps, than any member of this Court, and could not go there for instructions. . . As to Mr. R.'s statements concerning the Papists, the national schools were the means of meeting them on common grounds, in which no truly Protestant principle was com promised ; they might love the Papist, while they de nounced Popery ; but Mr. R.'s conduct was a direct com promise with Unitarian principles, open and avowed. He (Mr. E.) would rather go with the Papists, who hold the supreme divinity of the Saviour, and his vica rious atonement, and the sanctifying influence of the Holy Spirit—than with the man who abolished the atonement of the Lord that bought him, and extin guished the personality of the third person of the Tri nity. He called on the Presbytery to affirm the judg ment of the Session, and trusted that Mr. Russell would profit by what he had heard. The Rev. Dr. Mitchell, at considerable length com mented on the inconsistency of Mr. Russell's conduct, and contended that, for the maintenance of order and regularity in the Church, the sentence of the Session should be affirmed. Dr. 'Tette' stated what appeared to him to be the views of Unitarians, on the authority of Dr. Priestly. In common parlance we might call them Christians, but theirs was not the Christian religion. He concurred with Dr. Mitchell that the sentence should be con firmed, and that a Committee be appointed to deal with Mr. Russell, in order to bring him to a proper state of mind. In the long conversation that followed, the Presbytery were completely unanimous in favour of affirming the de cision of the Session. The lay members also spoke at length is the same spirit. Mr. Russell's plea of the right of private judgment and liberty of cowscience, was com mented on by several speakers as having nothing to do with the present controversy. Those who join a society, it was argued, are expected to submit to its regulations; if they wish any of the regulations altered, let them over ture the Courts for a repeal, and, If not obtained, let them protest and leave the association for another more agree able to their principles. All the members of the Court having been heard, the decision of the Session was affirmed, and the protest and appeal dismissed—Mr. Russell appealing to the Synod. A Committee was also appointed to deal with Mr. Russell. ----- SUBURBAN SPORTS ON GOOD FRIDAY.—The Lord Bishop of London has interdicted the wrestling matches, which fir many years past have taken place at Chalk Farm on Good Friday. LT //, EVENING EDITION. CANADA COMPA NY. The half-yearly General Meeting of the pro prietors of Shares in this undertaking, was held on Wednesday, at the Company's House, St. Helen's place, the Governor, CHARLES FRANKS, Esq , in the Chair. The GOVERNOR, after the minutes of the last Court had been confirmed, read the Report of the Directors. It stated that the total sales of lata by the Company in Canada, in 1838, had amounted to 15,718 acres, at an average of 12s. 3d. per acre, producing, with the sales of four lots in Goderich, 9,926/. currency. _After giving other statements relative to the affairs of the Company, by which it appears that the quantity of land paid for to Government, but unsold, was 1,126,000 acres, the Report advtlted to the disturbed con dition of Canada, by which emigration had been materially lessened, as the reason of the falling ofr in the sales of land. The sales from 1827 to 1837, had averaged 68,200 acres per annum, but in 1838, owing to the disturbed state of Canada, only d)cut 15,800 acres had been disposed off. Ttte great value of the Colony to this country had kin fully established by the inquiries which had lately been gone into. The propriety of maintaining the con nection with the mother country was also established. Though emigration had been greatly checked, there were prospects of an increased.numb er of settl2rspre ceeding out in the spring. After adverting to other financial statements, the Report alluded to the de spatches from the Company's Commission:Or, which affirmed that in the western portion of Canada, fthg. land was so fertile that it was the finest wheat growing country in America, and capable of sup plying Great Britain with any quantity of that grain at a low rate. The Company have still to pay Go- * vernment for land under the charter, 79,0001., the last instalment being in 1813, for which they would have additional quantities of land in their posses sion. The Report was, after some e4,nr*it ,tion adopted, a n d or d ere d to be printed : A ba!lin, Place for Directors, and after thanks had !cen given to the Governor and the Directors, meeting adjourned.

AMSTERDAM, MARCH 26.—A Brussels Paper of the 25th has a private letter from the Hague, which states that the Grand Duchy of Baden has caused a declaration to be made to Prussia, to the effect that they protest against the ratification of the commercial treaty concluded with Hol land, because it would prove extremely injurious to their manufacturers of sugar from beet-root. The Editor of the Journal is inclined to believe that the ratification will not take place, and that fresh negociations must be commenced between Prussia and Holland. THE HAGUE, MARCH 25. —We bear that Count Maltitz, Russian Ambassador at the Court of the Netherlands, will go at the cnd of the week to Nimeguen, to meet his Im perial Highness the Grand Duke Alexander, who is ex pected bore on Monday next. His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange, as a proof of his wish to encourage the invention of Mr. Dietr, has to-day given him an order for five of his carriages with six wheels, and one with ten wheels. It is said that the latter will convey thirty persons. FRANKFORT, MARCH 22.—Notwithstanding the news of the acceptance of the Treaty by the Belgian Chamber of Representatives the Stock Exchange was very dull to-day. Various reasons were assigned for this—one of which may be the scarcity of money, caused by the transmission of large quantities of ready cash to the Rhenish provinces, in order to defray the expence incident on the assemblage of the troops there. Our approaching fair, too, requires large sums. The chief cause of the depression of the funds seems to be the apprehension that loans to a large amount will shortly be contracted, to which some States, especially Belgium, may be obliged to have recourse. The resolution of the Belgian Chamber has given great satisfaction in our political circles. It is believed that in less than two months the points relative to the final sepa ration between Holland and Belgium will be settled. The journey of the Russian Grand Duke through Ger many has resembled a triumph. The most brilliant fetes acre every where prepared for him. DEVIZES.-WEDNESDAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-With reference to a paragraph in last night's Sun, respecting circumstances connected with the pro ceedings at a Petty Sessions, held at Devizes, on the 12th instant, you will, I trust, think it just to give pub licity to the following statement : Nearly 100 pool: persons, most of them renting houses from 10s. to 2/. per annum, were summoned to appear at the Petty Sessions to show cause why they refused to pay their poor-rates which, FOR TIIF FIRST TIME, they were called upon to do. The Churchwarden and Overseer, as well as two or three of the principal paymasters of the parish, were present, at whose rec o mmendation (backed by their own opinion with regard to the indigent circumstances in which the applicants appeared to be), the Magistrates exempted many of them from paying their rates. No precise line was drawn with regard to the number of children each person had, for, in some instances, persons with large families, and even a widow, were from their circumstances considered competent, and were directed to pay. Each case was taken separately. I believe it will be found that, throughout the coun try, it has been considered right by the Magistracy, to exempt some of the poorest persons from paying rates. In the parish of Allcannings, referred to above, labourer's wages have been very generally raised of late. Nearly the whole of the land and cottages belong to Lord Ashburton, an d if the cottagers are exempt from paying rates, it follows that the deficiency must be made up from the land, and consequently it would fall upon these very paymasters who kindly in terested themselves in getting the poor people ex empted from paying. I am, Sir, yours, &c., HENRY S. OLIVIER, Justice of the Peace of the County of Wilts. -- - At a meeting of shipmasters, and other seamen belonging to this port, held on the 7th instant, in the house of Mrs. Mitchell, South Quay, a petition nume rously signed, praying for a redress of the grievances con tained in the Act 4th and sth William, 4th chap. 52, was agreed to, and has been transmitted to J. D. Gillon, Esq. M. P., that the subject may be brought under the conside ration of the House of Commons.

NOVEL MATCH.—Some time ago a match had been taken in the shape of a bet of considerable amount between Alexander Aird, Esq., of Crossflatt, and George Rankine, Efq., an extensive landed proprietor from Aus tralia. The time fixed for this trial of skill was the same day on which a general ploughing match came off, but the gentlemen having to plough with a pair of ploughs and the horses then ir contest for the prizes, the day would not have afforded time for a second match, it was therefore deferred till next day. The spectators, my informant says, were quite surprised at the gentleman's excellent work manship. The prize, it seems, had been keenly contested for, and the twa lairds turned out to have been a wed matched pair—so well matched that the judges, (Mr. John Richard Muirkirk, and Fleming, Esq., of Barro chan), after;, the most careful inspection, found it neces sary to call in a thirds-man (Mr. Murray, farm overseer to the Iron Company) to help them to a decision. The prize was finally adjudged to Alexander Aird, Esq., of Cross flatt. This last is probably the finest ploughing match of the kind that has hitherto occurred. Is it likely, Mr. Editor, that such matches will, in our day, become fashion able ? I presume that it will not • perhaps, ho wever , it may, and if so, we may yet have the pleasure of witness ing the prize or a pair of the best ploughed riggs, con tested for by the three Members of Parliament for the county and burghs. But what wad ye think man, to send the County Member to Parliament through that test rather than by election. Is there onie chance that we would be waur saired ?—Ayr Observer. — There are no less than eight Roman Catholic chapels in this county, not including the unfinished building at Hastings.—Brighton Gazette.

THE IRISH RAILWAY BILL TO THE EDITOR OF THE " MORNING CHRONICLE." SlR—Convinced as I am that the plan of raisip,, , money on the national credit, for the construction railways in Ireland, is the wisest, because the surest to be attended with practical good to every class of tb.-, community, which has yet been submitted by the pre sent Ministry to Parliament in reference to the affairs of that country, I am sorry to see that it is opposed Lv men from whom a more rational and generous couri,e was to be expected. I am no agitator —on the contrary, I execrate the system of disquieting the minds of the people, and alluring them from the pursuits of industry t) the worse than useless discui,sien of supposed grievances, and impracticable or mischievous changes in government. But, on the other hand I am not disposed to condemn a measure of manifest utility, merely because it is introduced by Lord Mor.: peth, and supported by Daniel O'Connell, and I must take the liberty to say, that Sir Robert Peel and his friends ought not to view the Irish Railway Bill as a party measure. It involves no assault, either immediate or prospective, on any order in the State ; it contem , plates no change in any institution—no theoretic scheme of innovation or reform, either ecclesiastical or civil. On the contrary, should it happily be carried ihto effect, it will be strictly and powerfully Conservative. It will attach the people of Ireland to their connection with their British brethren, by showing them that the latter are tru:y their friends, ready in all matters really conducive to their welfare, to come forward with effectual aid. The employment which it will afford to the Irish peasantry, will produce among them industrious habits, and accus tom them to seek comfort and respectability from lit- hour and good management, by showing them that these blessings are, by such means, more certainly and more satisfactorily to be attained than by peqhtical agi tation, trades unions, or agrarian violence. The development of the hitherto neglected re sources of a country on which Nature 11,.)s been more than usually lavish of her bounties, will be a certain consequence of the passing of this bene ficent Bill. By creating facilities of commercial inter course, it will afford opportunities for the lucrative em ployment of capital, which will be thus drawn from Ow concealments, in which it now lies hoarded and uselets, to effect improvements of every kind—to fructify tl',. soil, to explore mines, and render them prc,fitalde—t:v establish manufactories, fisheries, commerce—and nr... , country on earth is better adapted for the success:full prosceuriun crr - tart - a.- ~....--ri..-.__.- .:-,......i._ L ..:1,--.r! . t ,-- the whole asp ec t o f Irish society new f ea t ures , Whic every well-wisher of humanity will delight to beholii-,,L. - indm•try, thrift, management, comfort, and their never failing attendants, sobriety, social order, mental cultiva tion, religious tolerance, obedience to law, and respect for authority. This picture of what the contemplated kindness anti liberality to Ireland, if properly carried out, will effect.. is in no degree overcharged. I know the capabili!ie, of Ireland well, and f know the character of h r people well, and I hesitate not to assert that ti4e one only wants development to diffuse industry, Prosp,- rity, and affluence throughout ail her districts, w'ile the other are amongst the most willing and untiri l -o f workers in the world, wherever a reasonable rerouiPra: tion far their exertions is attainable. It is a mistake— it is a slander—to say that the Irish are naturA v -.: slothful. Let the thousands of them that annually leave their homes, and cross the Channel to seek in the fie,lds of England remunerative labour, answer the calumny. Let your public works, your highways, your railroads, your canals, the improvements of your cities, the palaces of your nobles and your gentry, attest the willingness of .. Irishmen to labour wherever labour will be rewarded. ~ I could call upon the people of the transatlantic re- i public to bear testimony to the superior aptitude to any other people that visit their shores —nay, even to themselves, proverbially active and kakis- trious as they are—of the Irishmen is i 1 o settle among them, to undertake and to perform whatever enter prise requires for its performance—labour, dilivence, and dexterity ; and, if I were to call upon the most illustrious of conquerors—himself an Irishman—to say whether during the mighty war which he so successfully conducted against the most formidable despot Europe .. ever beheld, he found the soldiers of Ireland less capable • or less willing to undergo the fatigues, or encounter the hardships and dangers to which their duty exposed them, than their companions in arms from other • countries. With a feeling indignant at the ihju.rios sup position which the question would imply, the hero would answer "No I" Whether in performing the harrassin a march, or in dragging the ponderous cannon—whether in the labour of encamping or entrenching—whenever service requiring exertion, endurance, and hardihood. was to be performed, Wellington will cheerfully testify that his Irish soldiers were ever ready, active, and efficient. Away, then, with the slanderous charge ofslothful, ness so frequently brought against Iri,hmen, and unjustl alleged as the main cause of the comparative poverty and backwardness of improvermnts amongst them. Thy true cause of this poverty and want of improvement is the blighting operation of circumstances and influences which arc too well known to require bt.i.)g recounted, and which have, in that lovely and fertile is'and, 4e prived industry of its fair reward. It is because I an, convinced that the measure nuw More Parliament for employing the people of Ireland and improving the . . country, will go far to counteract those lettiefei inflo, ences, that I am so anxious for its adop•iol - . I would earnestly call on its opponents to pause tof , re the) assume the responsibility of its rejection ; fui a more serious responsibility than they seem to iiiiajne. It will cause the people of Ireland to despair of ever ac quiring the sympathy and good will of Englishmen ; an. , great will be their m ortification, and let me add, nature will be their exasperation, should they find a people wh, could generously give away for ever, twenty inilious f(, the benefit of West India negroes, refusing to lend fc: their benefit, at a fair interest, only an eighth of that sun What will be considered the test of England's feeling. towards Ireland is now about to be made. Earnest; and anxiously must every good man who wishes for i 5; preservation of the internal tranquilli.y , and the contin u ance of the grandeur and prosperity of this great er n pi,, pray that the result may be demonstrative of the {f i e , feeling of the British people towards their Irish 1 - ‘;-- thren. Then will the reign of recrimination and lousy cease ; for Irishmen are grateful, and can A r ciate kindness as ardently as they can resent injuites. Mr. Editor—l cannot with propriety, at t!,is tire,, encroach further upon your columns. But as I yet much to say on this important subject, I intend a few days to solicit you to indulge me with space I, Further observations. In advocating a measure which I consider to be , more vital importance to the future welfare of my nati, country than all the Tithe Bills and Municipal Bill's shall ever pass Parliament, I scorn to be anonymon I therefore freely give your readers my name.
