THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are biruniFiiiiheir deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded, and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims arise; and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; end nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this Company.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND. secu rity of the Bank shall- be fourteen millions; and th a t th e " We propose," observed Sir Robe r t P e el, " th a t the existing loan to the Government shall continue on the pre sent terms.. We might pay off this loan ; but we better to leave the eleven millions due to the Bank as an as sessment insecurity for the amount of issue, leavin g tte other three millions within the entire control of the ilk itself, to limit or extend its issues as circumstan "What is the general principle," ,ll3 ": . c - ti in Sir Robert Peet es might arise," opinion, justifies the exaction . of security from the Bank f or any dis pute the soutidon of the "principle" in question. We only desire, portion i fthere of b i e t its such issn'7 We do not, be it observed, a " principle," to see it fairly " canied out." If it be desirabl e th a t th e B an k should giN/ 0 - security for its Issues-..and that the security provided s h ould be in the tbriu of debt due by the Government to t'ile Bank—then, it would seem to follow, in the first place, that no banking establishment ought to be eilOwed to issue paper money without giving similar Security —and it would seem to follow, ' in the second place, that every creditor of the Government is entitled to exercise that privilege of issuing paper . money, which Sir Robert Peel's devotion to "general prin ciple i " induces him to concede to the Bank of England. If, hi short, Sir Robert Peel's "general principles," be sound, the body which ought, above all others, to exercise the privilege of issuing paper money, is the body of national creditors. The owners of the fimded debt ought, in conformity with Sir Robert's assumptions, to be allowed to supply us with paper money. "We owe the Bank of England eleven millions of money ; therefore," so argues Sir Robert Peel, " the Bank ought to be allowed to issue promissory notes to that amount." This reasoning may be perfectly irrefragable ; but if it be, then, it would seem to fbllow, that as the country owes to a certain class of persons eight hundred millions of money, that class ought to be allowed to issue eight hundred millions of pro niissory notes. It is quite clear, besides, that Sir Robert Peel treats .this question of " security" in the most appropriate fashion? Ought " secur it y " to determine simply the amount of paper money —or ought it also to determine its character? If paper money ho "secured," ought it not also to be incon vertible, save in -the general market? If the country owes eleven millions to the Bank, why. should the Bank be com pelled to find gold at a fixed rate of value for the amount of a debt due to itself? Many deep thinkers have weighed well this - question of " security' for paper money issues; and, generally speaking, their &inclusion has been that Govern ment ought to issue paper money to the extent of the inte rest on the national debt, and to declare at the same time, these issues to be inconvertible into the precious metals, except at the risk of the holders. Such a paper currency would, obviously, be perfectly " secure ;" nay, it would possess precisely the - same kind of " security" which Sir Robert Peel requires in the case of eleven millions of Bank of England paper; and as the Government paper would, at all times, be in demand to meet the claims of the tax-gatherer, it could never suffer depreciation. In the " Proposals for a secure and adequate Currency," published some years ago, by Earl Stanhope, this question of Government paper is treated with the Noble Earl's characteristic ability, and in that spirit of profound familiarity with the subject, which all his Lord ship's speculations on economical subjects exhibit. These are Earl Stanhope's propositions : " With respect to Government paper. " 1. Govarnment paper, when limited by Parliament in the amount of its issue, and in due proportion to the sums required for the public service, could not be subject to any considerable or continued depreciation, inasmuch as any dis count, however small or transient, which it might bear, would create an instant demand for it in the payment of taxes, in which it would be a legal tender. " 2. Government paper being not convertible into specie, the amount of it in circulation could not be reduced by a de mand for coin which might be exported. "3. Government paper would very much facilitate the execution of public works, which might produce great benefit to the country, and increase the revenue, and it would extend the circulation to such an amount as the exigencies of the public might require, in the same manner as has on many occasions been done by the issue of Exchequer-bills. ".It is therefore proposed that Government paper of 11. and upwards shall be a legal tender in the payment of taxes, and that it shall be issued to such an amount, and for such public purposes (including the payment of Exchequer-bills) as Parliament shall direct." We pass now to the consideration of Sir Robert Peel's remarkable avowal on the subject of free-trade principles in - relation to the issues of money. Whenever the Right Hon. Gentleman approaches the question of currency, he ceases (of course he does !) to be a free-trader : " I admit that competition is calculateed to give you the article you require at the cheapest rate ; but I say that a paper currency is governed naturally by different principles from those which regulate any other article. Ido not want the greatest quantity of currency at the cheapest rate. What I want is this, that I shall have an ample supply of thatpaper currency, whose value shall be exactly conformable to gold, , and that such supply shall be given to me by parties in whose honour, integrity, and solvency I can place the greatest confidence. I don't want, therefore, the cheapest article. I want , the best article, and the quantity I want is governed by quite another principle than that which regulates the competition of other articles." In the matter of currency, Sir Robert Peel "wants the best article—not the cheapest." The best in relation to the purposes of what sections of society? Of annuitants and money-jobbers, on the one hand—or of all orders of producers, on the other? Sir R. Peel, of course, assumes that system of currency to be " the best " whi c h bests suits—not the in dustrious classes—but the classes which prey on industry. Sir Robert Peel has told his agricultural supporters that the true rule of national policy is to " buy cheap and to sell dear." As soon, however, as there arises an occasion on which this, his pet maxim, might be turned to account by agricultural produ cers, Sir Robert unhesitatingly repudiates it. Hit be good to " buy cheap and to sell dear," the agriculturist is, surely, en titled to demand the privilege of selling his produce " dear," and of buying the money in which the value of that pro duce_ is measured, " cheap." " No," interposes the con sistent Sir Robert, " I like corn cheap, but I like money good; and, in proportion to its goodness, must be the dear ness of money. If, in fact, money were not ' dear,' corn would not long continue cheap; therefore let us have none but the best kind of money... Abet kind of money which shall best' and most effectually extend the power of capitalists, annuitants, and mortgagees, over all classes of producers." Sir Robert Peel is, in fact, the true f 4 farmer's friend." He is never idle in their cause. He is always busied, either in cheapening, difectly, agricultural produce—or in adding, directly, to the agriculturist's debts and burdens. —Post. MISSIONS OF THE SCOTT- ' 44 ---- -f-'117 6-1 OF ~.. n a l'he annual me e ti .., AN D. Church of Scotland -0-- the members and friends of the Exeter-hall, f u r " .as held on Friday in the large room at and missiwv-- ,ne purpose of advocatint , the educational at e10r,..- - --cy schemes of that Church. The chair was taken -,:„...). .• o'clock by the Marquis of Bute, her Majesty's Lord '''''"'„, Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. The platform was crowded, and the body of the hall was nearly filled by a highly respectable assemblage. The Marquis of BtrrE, on opening the proceedings of the day, adverted to the great superiority of the people of Scot land to those of England in point of education, both religious and secular, and he eulogised the efforts nhich the Church o f Scotland had ma d e to enlighten the poolir classes of society in that part of the kingdom by the educational and mis sionary institutions it had established. The Rev. •A. 11PGLASIIAN read the report for the last year, in which frequent mention was made of the recent secession from the Church of Scotland, and the difficulties encoun tered' from that cause ;' but whilst lamenting the loss of so' many valued lab ourers ; th e Ch urc h of Scotland, it was stated, " is as strenuously resolved, as at any former period, to spend and be spent in the cause of Christ and in the extension of his kingdoin." The parishei vacated in ' 1843 have been filled up, and nearly 1,200 clergy men are now united in their desires to promote the objects of the missions of the Church of Scotland. Among the most munificent of the contributors to its funds were mentioned the Marquis of Bute, 1001. per annum ; James Matheson, Esq., donation of 2001., and 251. p er annum ; J o h n Swinton, Esq., donation of 50/., and 10/. p er annum ; and Miss Campbell. donation of 100/., and -25/. per annum. It was stated that the lay association has raised upwards of 5,000/. during the short period since its formation. The ob jects of the missionary plans were stated briefly as follows For increasing the means of education in Scotland, particu larly in the Highlands and Islands ancrlarge towns ; for the propagation of the gospel in India and foreign parts ; for promoting the religious interests of S co tti s h f am ili es in the British col on i es ; for aiding congregations already established in Scotland ; employing probationers, and encouraging young men to the office of the ministry. For carrying out the plans of education, the income for the last year amounted to 4,0001., the number of schools was 146, which had afforded the means of education to upwards of 13,000 pupils. A normal school has been established at Edinburgh, and a new building is now erecting at an estimated expense of 8,0001., of which the Go vernment granted one half. The reading of the report was loudly cheered, and the usual resolution for its adoption was carried unanimously. ' ' The Rev. Dr. M'LEon, Dean of the Chapel' Royal, Scot land, moved the first resolution, and, in a very animated speech, after tracing the rise and progress of the Church of Scotland Missionary Society, which, from the smallest be ginnings, has risen to such importance that it has at present 9,0001. invested in Government securities, and has its teachers and missionaries in most parts of the world, he proceeded ' to allude to the state of the Church of Scotland itself, and 1 to the recent secession from its body. The excitement that 7 had been produced by the eloquent appeals to the passions and the feelings of the people had, he said, nearly subsided, ' and he felt assured that the Church of Scotlandnow rested on I as firm a basis as ever. It was rooted in the hearts and the 1 institutions of the people, and it would net be destroyed. Scotland would not allow it to be overthrown, for the Church was too deeply rooted in their affections to be pulled down by every wind of doctrine. England would not allow it to be put aown, for it was one of the time -honoured institu tions of the land, and not one stone of the venerable insti tution would be permitted to be removed; the Church of England itself would not allow it to be put down, ty the Church of Scotland was the Church recognised by theTb.ws ; nay more, it would never be put down, for God would not allow that Church which had borne testimony to the word under all difficulties and in all countries, to be destroyed.— (Cheers.) He concluded by moving the resolution, to the effect, "That the extension of a sound Scriptural education in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, under the direction of the Church of Scotland, is not only urgently required, but eminently worthy of the support and countenance of patriots, Christians, and churchmen." It was announced by Dr. M'LEOD that the Duke of Suther land had sent a donation of 150/. The LORD PROVOST of GLASGOW seconded the resolution. The Rev. Dr. HILL moved the next resolution, to the 'effect, " That the home, foreign, and colonial missions of the Church of Scotland having been eminently ownedand blessed of God, it is the duty of that Church not only to maintain but to enlarge them to the utmost of her means ; and this meet. ing hereby records its thankfulness to the great Head of the Church that a missionary spirit animates the hearts of the Scottish clergy as intense as at any former period of her his tory." In supporting this resolution Dr. Hill alluded to the secessions from the Church of Scotland, the amount of which he said had been greatly exaggerated ; and, as an indication of the real extent to which the secession had been carried, he instanced two districts with which he was mere particularly connected in which the seceders amounted but to ene tenth and to one -seventh of the whole population. It was, indeed, the fact that most of the foreign missionaries had se ceded, and that it became, therefore, necessary to appoint others in their room and to furnish funds for their appoint ments. The Rev. Dr. BARR, in seconding the resolution, further alluded to the recent secession, which he said had now passed away as a cloud, and left the Church of Scotland more firmly established-than ever. In the course of his speech the Rev. Gentleman made an accidental blunder that excited general laughter. He was enforcing very urgently the necessity of employing catechists in great num b ers t o act as sub-mis..- sionaries,but he miscalled them in one instance Cat/Lc:d es , therefore the meeting was somewhat startled to hear the Rev. Presbyterian Clergyman call on them to "send an army of Catholics among the people," as the best means of promoting the missionary labours of the Church of Scotland. The Rev. J. CUMM-ING moved the next resolution : "That a national. Protestant Church establishment, with fixed creed aP.d ecclesiastical authority, and protected alike from the dictation of the patron, and the domination of the PeoPlP—is not only the greatest safety of the State and secu rity for civil freedom, but also, when blessed by the Spirit of God, is eminently calculated to deepen the influence of re ligion in men's hearts at home, and to carry it to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile abroad." This resolution opened directly the question in dispute with the non-intrusionists. Mr. Cumming read a paper which had been distributed very extensively in the hall by th e Seceders, stating that a meet ing of their Missionary Society would be held in June, adding that all the missionaries of the Church of Scotland had seceded. He said in reference to the former part of the announcement, that he heartily wished the Seceders all suc cess in spreading the Gospel in heathen lands, and as to the latter portion of the announcement, he would only say that, with the exception of Dr. Jupp, there were none of the se ceding missionaries whose places could not be readily sup plied. He then proceeded with great animation to defend the principles of the Church of Scotland, and to contend that it enjoyed all possible freedom in spiritual matters, and that the objections of the non-ingusionists were without any real foundation. SIR WALTER SCOTT'S MONUMENT.—The London Committee fbr completing this truly national work have, we regret to state, been compelled to appeal to the publicfor as sistance to finish it. The monument consists of a handsome Gothic shrine from a design by the late Mr. Kemp, inclosing a marble statue by Mr. Steele, to the memory of Sir Walter Scott, The Committee were guided in their adoption of the plan by the weight of public opinion in favour of that ulti mately selected, and from which the monument is now in course of erection in Edinburgh, the city of Sir Walter's birth. The - greater part of the building is already erected, but the funds originally subscribed are found inadequate for its completion, and although great exertions have been made to raise the whole amount in Edinburgh, about 1,0001. is still wanting. We cannot conceive a greater humiliation to any nation than the fact that a monument to such a man should remain unfinished. This claim to respect and distinction should not be confined either to the city or the land of his birth. The only limit we would propose would be that the sum required should he raised by subscription from those only who have derived pleasure and instruction from his works. We are satisfied that a collection on such terms would soon enable Messrs. Coutts, the bankers to the Committee, to an nounce the receipt of a balance sufficient for the object.

The Rev. Hum.' M‘Nult., of Liverpool, seconded the reso lution ; and, in doing sck, entered into a careful analysis of the great question of spiritual independence which, has occupied so much of public attention in Scotland for some time past, and carefUlly impressed upon his audience the necessity of distinguishing between things that were distinct from things which differed, which be seemed to think had been the fault of the Hon. and Rov. Baptist Noel, in his luminous speech on this subject, delivered at the great meeting of the Free Church of Scotland, held in Exeter Hall a short time ago. Ile argued that the Established Church and the Secession held the same principles as to the essential importance and propriety of spiritual independence in Christian communi ties, but that they differed as to the legitimate application of those principles, under particular circumstances. The real question was, whether there was an absolute necessity far resorting to those extreme measures which had charac terised that remarkable movement to which he alluded. The resolution was carried with much applause. The Rev. Dr. STEPHS, of Bombay, then moved a vote of thanks to the Noble Chairman, which was carried by ac clamation. The Marquis of BurE returned thanks, and dissolved the assembly. I Policy Entry. No 18371. I 39 1838 ll4 Another Bonus will be declared in the present year.

BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN on l y one-h a lf of the first °Wien, viz. :—Diseases of the Urethra, & c., and on other Disquali fications to Marriage._ _____ even years' premium is required,, the other h a lf b e i ng payable. at BY THE HALF PREIIIUM PLAN only one-half of the first seven years' premium is required, the other half being payable, at at the convenience of the assured ; thus allowing a Policy to be continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured, seven years hence, when loss of health m a y prevent him from effecting newAss f saenveeen, to continue a Policy a t a rate of premium years younger. The H a lf- prem i um plan o f a pp li c a b l eAssurance, a to an ag as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one half of the 10/., and interest for the retained half; and, if death should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 5/. ; for the second,' of 101. ; and so tm till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 3.51. would be subtraeted from the 5001. then payab. ‘bythe Company.

About half ootft a t g h e e n half past three o'clock in the morning, as one of Mr. Garrad's men was going to the malt-houses, he discovered flames issuing a fr l o a irn me t d he tb s e t buildin g. and l a ie m i e n s ta n n g tl e y r was dispatched to Colchester for the fire-engines, which (three in number) were at the spot in less than an hour, ac companied by the engine from the Hy-the. By this time the whole fabric, together with five kilns, were in flames earb y , from one end to the other, which, notwithstanding a' good supply of water from the river, defied the exertions of the firemen and a great number of persons, who, from the alarm given, were present, and rendered every assistance in their power to subdue the raging element, but their efforts were unavailing, as in less than two hours nothing was left standing but the outer walls. The roof fell in about five o'clock with a tremendous crash. The five kilns fell soon after. The property consumed is to a very considerable amount, as there were between 3,000 and 4,000 quarters of malt, and about 1,300 quarters of barley, besides other valuable property, in the different chambers. About 5,000/. worth of the malt is the property of Messrs. Hanbury and Co., brewers, London, and the remainder of the stock iS Mr. Garrad's own property, whose loss is unfortunately not covered by insurance. The 'premises were the property of Mr. Charles Hawkins, timber-merchant, of Colchester, and are insured in the Essex and Suffolk Equitable. We: have not heard whether the property of Messrs. Hanbury and Co. was insured. The precise cause of the fire has not been ascertained. Many conjectures are afloat, and the prevalent opinion is that it originated from one of the kilns, the whole of which were charged with malt for high drying. Another opinion is, that the malt, after being thrown from the kilns the night previous, must have ignited on the chamber, and caused the calamitous accident. There does not appear the least reason to suppose that it was the act of au incendiary. The value of the pt oper • ty consumed (including the b u ildi ngs ) , is estimated at about 12,000/. A considerable number of workmen will be thrown out of' employ by the accident. COUNTRY COUSINS.—In emulation of the example so successfully set by the metropolitan railways for country traffic in the last Easter holidays, cheap railway trips to the metropolis have been announced from Leeds, Derby, and Nottingham, during the approaching Whitsuntide holidays. A train is announced to leave Leeds on Whit-Monday, the 27th of May, at 6h. 60m. A.M., and reach Lando at 41 1.

Cheap trains will leave Nottingham for London twice during the Whitsun week, giving the passengers the option of slaying flaur or eight days ; the fares by the second 0148 s, there and back, being 28s. Cheap trips are also announced as during the Easter week, by the Dover, Southampton, Brighton, and Colchester Railways. 39, ALDEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY.

It has all the, appearance of being the working library of u gen tleman and a scholar ; but of one who most truly en joyed himself—who obviou s ly luxuriat'ea—when sur rounde l by his books. Many of the'volurnes have his autograph on the title-page, with date and place, it ap pearing to have been,his practice, especially with pur chases that he rather valued, to add to his name the place and time where and when bought. have the- addition of " Bristol," " Londue,” ~M any } Ai d_ burgh," " Brussels," &e. ; and most .of them seem to have been carefully read by him, to infer froM neat little pencil " ticks " in the margins, noting obviously particular passages ; but there are seldom any notes or scratches in the body of the volumes, his love of neatness apparently prevailing against that disfiguring of pages and print to which many readers and writers find it so convenient sometimes to resort. The MS. illtstrations in his own hand, and of which there are many, chiefly consist of very closely written and condensed paragraphs on the spare leaves fronting the ' title pages, penned with that sharp clearness and rigidity of penmanship which cha racterised Mr. Southey's handwriting, Ile, however, seems never to have written as if he were in a hurry ; and yet how much he wrote, as the world knows, inde pendently of making entries in his books of opinions, or information respecting them.

The report of the p rocee di ngs b e f ore the magistrate on Saturday will b e f oun d i n anot h er part of the paper. Our reporter, very - properly, gave no extracts tr i m the abominable letters found in the possession o.f the pri soner. It appears, however, that others wers found in the house of the deceased—all showing The diseased state of the man's mind. The followiy.g is a list of them : No. liwas dated the 24th of November, 1843, and was throughout couched in language the most affectionate. It commenced by condoling with the deceased respecting some misconduct of his daughter, and hoped the yen-. geance of heaven might fall upon those who were trying to tear her from him, in allusion to which he designe.ted one of her sisters as an angel and another as a fiend. In conclusion, it stated he could not help calling, 'himself her most affectionate husband, A. Dahlias. No. 2, dated 12th January, 1844, was a the same tionately, affectionate our ' and concluded, ' ° Yaurs, most affec ." No. 3 was also dated in January, send began, " To the woman I adore, and will adore while I have existence. Beloved Sarah, my life is in your hands, and I am under your command next to God.

" My Sarah,—This is the first s time you 23 have lB44 sent me a cross message, and I hope it will be the last. You told me you had forgiven me, and gave me your blessing. Why then should you now send me such a message, that you are cross with me. Augusta has money to pay you for her temporary stoppage at your house, as I think Caroline will require her assistance in the nursery, or get her a situation near her. There fore, do not be angry. You always told me Augusta should never want a friend as long as you had a home for her ; but whatever you do for her will be fully re warded. See you I must, therefore send me word by Augusta to-morrow morning, when and where, with the least inconvenience to you. Although you sent me such a cross message, I am still, " Your affectionate husband, "(Relent ! relent !) " A. DALMAS." GLASGOW CIRCUIT COURT. SINGULAR SCENE. The Glasgow Argus of Monday records the following singular scene as having taken place in the Cireuit Court of that city on Friday last : " A. man named Walker was charged with assr.ult, with intent to ravish ; and several witnesses were exa mined for the prosecution, when, on the recommendation of the Lord Justice Clerk, the Advocate-De - put° (Mr. Mure) abandoned the case. The jury W' re then in formed by Lord Wood that they had no alternative but to return a verdict of not guilty, or not proven ; and that, in his opinion, they ought to return a verdict of not guilty, seeing the case had been abandoned. After consultation, the jury, through their Ofi ancel I or, Not . l a i S s c e t a Gu i l t fromia t whatever v r was re: intimated that they were not prepared to return a ver dict in favour of the prisoner, as they were strongly impressed with the fact that he was guilty. The Lord. Justice Clerk inquired whether this was merely the impression of their own minds, or if they had founded been their opinion on - the evidence which had been led ? The reply .to his Lordship was, that the jury fotradeci i t n h g e a ver dict opinion upon the evidence alone. The, Lord i s v o e n t.

"This occurrence ex cited considerable surpri • se in Court. Several of' the gentlemen forming the jury ( w hi c h was immediately di sm i ssed, and a n ew -one imannelled) expressed themselves privatel y dissatisfied with what had taken place, and exceedingly regarded the as one which had taken . proceeding out of their hands a privilege they considered they a verdict . for or against the prisoner. A consultation was afterwards held, and the followi ng p rotest drawn up and subscribed by ten of the jury : " 3d May, 1844. "We, jurymen, who sat on the trial of Alexander Wal ker, accused of assault, with intent to ravish, hereby protest that the verdict of not guilty recorded was not the verdict which we were prepared to return in the above case, not being satisfied from the evidence of the prisoner's innocence." [Here follow the signatures of ten jurymen.] The abOve protest was lodged in the hands of the clerk of Court, but hitherto no notice has been taken of it from the Bench." le career of Sir Robert Peel's Conservative Cabinet has been rendered memorable by a succession of small 'surprises, good, bad, and indifferent. The new tariff was a surprise—the new sliding-scale was a surprise and a disappointment—the income-tax was a surprise and a terror to the middle classes—th e f orced resignation of the Duke of Buckingham was a surprise and a source of apprehension to the dupes of pretended "farmers' friends"—the appointment of Lord Ellea thorough to the Government of India w as a surprise — the manner of his Lordship's recal was a greater sur prise still—and now we ha ve th e crowning surprise in the appointment just made of an officer to succeed his Lordship as supreme ruler in the East. It was pretty generally undorstood that the Premier had designed the governmealv eft:lndia for the Rome Secretary, vvho t was to be rewarded fors his secession from the Mug ranks with a Peerage, by the style and title of Baron Netherby. But some how or other the discovery was made that Sir J, Graham was not popular at the India House ; and also, that in the present complicated. state of affairs at home, the Premier could find no one of his party with a tithe of his ability as a man of ready business habits to replace hitnin the Rouse of Common;.
