The steady success and increasing prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors, at the last animal investigation, to declare a second Bonus, averaging 60 per cent. on the amounts invested on each Policy effected on the Profit scale. The division of profits is annual, and the next will be made in De cember of the present year. This Institution offers many important and substantial advan tages with respect both to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuities. The assured has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without ex pense or forfeiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the premium paid, (see table) ; also the option of selecting benefits, and the conversion of his interests to meet other conveniences or necessity. Assurances for terms of years are granted on the lowest possible rates. F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec. DISEASED AND FIEALTUY LIVES ASSURED.

Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums, by which means Assurances may be effected with the leatt possible present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder will become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid thewhole amount of his premiums in advance, in the usual way. Thus, for example—a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age, instead of paying 2/. Os. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would be required to pay 1/. 3s. only during the first five years, when, on payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 5/. 155., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre miums to very little more than the half Premium of 1/. 3s. originally paid by him. The Great Britain is the only Mutual Assurance Society in which this very great accommodation is given to the As sured. Credit allowed for the whole of the first five Annual Premiums, on satisfactory security being given for the payment of the same at the expiration of five years. All the profits of the Institution divided annually among the Policy holders who shall have paid five Annual Premiums.

FARE THIRTY GUINEAS, and ONE GUINEA STEWARDS' THE CALEDONIAN ASYLUM. DEFEAT OF THE FREE SECEDERS. to, as it appeared to be, he would move that in that portion of the report which spoke of the school master that these words should be introduced—" That the schoolmaster shall be an orthodox Presby terian, ready to subscribe to the Westminster Confes sion of Faith." He (Mr. Stewart) was a sincere friend to the asylum, and he could not help remarking that when the N(,ble Duke said that it was intended to ::ever it from the Established Church of Scotland, and when other gentlemen indulged in the same mistaken senti ment—he could not help remarking that they were both equally and egregiously mistaken.—(Loud cheers from the Seceders.) In early times no clergyman had pre sided over that institution, and after some time the Rev. Mr. Lees became its superintendent. A paragraph had been inserted in the preface to one of the reports, stating that a clergyman does superintend it, but that paragraph by no means pledged them to the continuance of that system. He (Mr. Stewart) and his friends did not want to sever the institution from the Church—all they wanted was, that a proper person should be elected, and, as an earnest of his determination, he was willing to state that should two persons be presented, one a member of the Church of Scotland, and another of the Free Church party, he would vote for the former, if his quali fications were better. He was sorry to find that the subject had not been fairly treated by a portion of the public press. In the Morning Post and another morning paper, the most flagitious misrepresentations had been made. They did not desire any alteration with regard to the instruction of the children or the books employed for that purpose. That cry had been got up to alarm those who had not taken an active part in the affairs of the asylum, and by those persons, out voters, had his amendment been lost, and not by the re gular attendants at their sAcial courts.—(Hear.) A long desultory discussion ensued between Major- General Aitchison, Mr. Stewart, and The Chisholm, after which A special general meeting of the members of this Asylum was held yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, on the subject of a proposed alteration in the by-laws of the Institution. Much excitement was occasioned in consequence of the expressed determination of the Free Seceders to attempt a change in accordance with their own principles. The meeting was announced to com mence at two o'clock precisely, at which hour the chair was taken by the Duke of Buccleueh, the President, who was supported by the Marquis of Bute, Sir G. Clerk, M.l'., The Chisholm, Mr. P. M. Stewart, M.P., the Hon. Captain Gordon, M.P., General Aitchison, Mr. Dallas, Mr. 11. Rose, Rev. J. Cumming, Mr. G. Bain, Mr. G. Duff, &c. It was remarked that, at the commencement of the proceedings, there were only three or four of the Seceders present, and it was supposed by some that they had resolved to abandon the contest on which they had said they would enter. His GRACE, on opening the business of the day, stated that he had to attend a Cabinet Council very shortly, and he regretted, therefore, that he should not be long able to preside. The subscribers were aware that some changes in that Institution were contemplated—changes to which he was directly opposed. In order to show that he (the Duke) objected to such alterations, he would beg leave to read a correspondence which had passed be tween himself and Mr. Bain, who is at present Chair man of the Committee of Directors of the CRledonian Asylum. The correspondence was as fol-lows : " Montage-house, July 1, 1844. " Sir,—l have been informed that some meetings of the Committee of Directors of the Caledonian Asylum have taken place, for the purpose of maturing the new arrange ments rendered necessary by the resignation of the Rev. Mr. Lees, and by the prospect of extending the benefits of the Institution to a certain number of girls. • " As President of that Institution, I shall be obliged to you to inform me what steps have been taken towards the ma turing of the new arrangements, and also the nature of the proposed new arrangements. " This is so important a matter, as connectei with the future welfare and prosperity of the Institution, that I con sider a full meeting of all those persons who are qualified to act upon the Committee should have been summoned to at ' tend the meeting to consider it ; and I am surprised that no communication of any sort has been made to myself, or to any one of the Vice-presidents of the asylum, all of whom take a warm interest in its welfare. "There is one point I desire especially to call to your attention. This Institution has from its commencement been in connection with the Established Church of Scotland. As a public Institution it should so continue. That was the intention of its founders—that is the desire of a very large majority of the present supporters of the asylum. I desire to state distinctly, that neither as President of that Institu tion, nor as a subscriber towards its funds, will I consent that the connection of the Caledonian Asylum with the Establishment of Scotland shall be severed, or in any way impaired. " This opinion was expressed by me at the anniversary meeting, but I have considered it to be ray duty to repeat it in a distinct form.—l remain, Sir, your obedient servant, " BUCCLEUCH, &c., "President of the Caledonian Asylum. " To the Chairman of the Committee of Directors of the Caledonian Asylum." " Is, Parliament-street, July 15, 1844. "My Lord Duke,—ln reference to the conversation which I had the honour of having with your Grace on Saturday last on the subject of the Caledonian Asylum, I now beg to enclose herewith a copy of the scheme which has been pre pared for the future government of that institution, and ' agreed to be adopted at a special general meeting of the Com mittee of Directors, on Monday, the Bth instant, with the exception of that part relating to the Secretary's salary, which has been reserved for further consideration. " Another special meeting of the Directors is to take place at the Asylum this day, at three o'clock ; but I presume that any resolution which may be carried at this, or passed at the previous meeting, must be confirmed or rejected by a Ge neral Court of the Corporation. " In the meantime I shall be most happy to attend to any wish or suggestion which your Grace may be pleasel to com municate to Me.—l have the honour to be, my Lord Duke, your Grace's most obedient and faithful servant, " GEORGE BAIN. " His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, K.G., &c." " Montagu-house; July 15, 1844. " Sir,—l have this moment received your letter of this date, inclosing a copy of the scheme which has been prepared for the future government of the Caledonian Asylum, and agreed to be adopted at a special meeting of the Committee of Directors on Monday, the Bth instant, with the exception of the part relating to the Secretary's salary, which has been reserved for future consideration. Mr. JAMES GORDON DUFF rose—He had no sympathy with the seceders from the Church of Scotland, still he thought it would be advisable for them to avoid the dis cussion of such questions altogether. The question had been forced upon them now, and it must be dealt with in the best manner possible. It was a very bad compliment to a Committee when sending in their report to have it thrown back in their teeth, with a command to them to swear black was white. He felt that in the present in stance the Committee had not been well treated, and he should therefore second the motion of Mr. Patrick Max well Stewart.—(Cheers from the Seceders.) The Marquis of BUTE thought that the intention of Mr. Stewart to avoid division by the course he had adopted would be completely thwarted. In fact, he had taken just that course which would have the effect of promoting divisions. —(Hear, hear.) The only way to prevent divisions was to leave matters alone, and then some course would have been taken by the directors. The distinction which Mr. Stewart proposed was one of words alone, and quite incomprehensible. To tell the meeting that no severance was intended was absurd in the highest degree—the object was clear, and not to be misunderstood. When they talked of an orthodox Pres byterian who subscribed the Westminster Confession of Faith, they talked of what was entirely unknown to the constitution of this country and to the people of Scot land.—(Hear, hear.) Since the secession from the Church of Scotland had taken place, he (the Marquis of Bute) had always refrained from making any reflections on the Seceders, but he could not help remarking that they must have signed the confession of faith with other intentions than those entertained by the Church of Scotland, and not only had they done so, but they made it their boast publicly to avow it. Twenty-five years' subscriptions to the Caledonian Asylum had been got on the faith that it was superintended b) a clergyman of the Church.—(Hear, hear.) Would they now stultify their former act, and desert the principle on which they had rested their claim for public support? The Rev. J. CummiNc, Minister of the National Scotch Church, Crown• court, Covent-garden, believed that changes such as that sought to be introduced, were in the highest degree dangerous. It was easy enough to adopt them, but it was never known where they would end. There were various classes of orthodox Presby terians, and, therefore, the introduction of that term as recommended, would be no safeguard. One class of orthodox Presbyterians held the Solemn League and Covenant, and believed it to be their duty to attempt the extermination of Episcopacy. The encouragement of such persons would offend those of their Episcopal friends who were subscribers to the Asylum. And then there was another class of orthodox Presbyterians who left out an entire chapter of the Confession of Faith, de claratory of the duty of establishing a national church. The encouragement of such persons would offend those members of the Church of Scotland who were subscribers to the Institution. If the meeting adopted the proposed changes they were commencing a series of ills of the most disastrous character. The safety of the Institu tion, he felt convinced, reposed on their adherence to the principles they had so long and so successfully main tained.—(Cheers.) Another long discussion ensued, and it was deter mined, Mr. Dallas's motion having been withdrawn, to take the sense of the meeting on the motion of Mr. Patrick Maxwell Stewart. His Grace the Duke of BECCLEUCH distinctly put the question to the meeting, and having taken a show of hands, declared the motion to be lost. Mr. P. M. STEWART expressed his dissatisfaction. He would not be content unless the names of the voters were entered in a book, or at all events until a division should take place. The latter suggestion was adopted, and tellers having been appointed, the Seceders took the left hand of the Noble Chairman, their opponents ranking themselves on the right. The numbers were then declared to be— For Mr. P. M. Stewart's motion Against it 25 _ _ " After reading that scheme, I am still more impressed that no communication whatever has been made to me as Presi dent of that institution, nor to any of the Vice-presidents, upon so very important a subject, one involving the future welfare and prosperity of the institution, and affecting the nature and character of it. I desire formally to protest against the adoption of that scheme. " I again state, that neither as President of the Caledo nian Asylum, nor as a subscriber towards its funds, will I consent that the connection of that institution with the Es tablished Church of Scotland shall be severed or in any way impaired. That scheme, if adopted, would first of all impair, and ultimately tend to the severance of, that connexion. Had it not been for the circumstance of my attention having been accidently directed to the proceedings that were in pro gress, I should have been in entire ignorance of the changes proposed, and the arrangements suggested. In the ordinary daily management of the institution I have no desire to in terfere, but in such a matter as the present I consider it to be my duty, as President, to take a part, and the duty of the Committee of Directors to inform the President and Vice presidents of their intended meeting and proceedings, that they might have an opportunity of expressing their opinion, and recording their decision. " I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, " BUCCLEUCH, &c., " President of the Caledonia* Asylum. " To the Chairman of the Committee of Directors of the Royal Caledonian Ayslum." During the reading of this correspondence a large number of Free Seceders entered the room. Amongst them was Mr. Patrick Maxwell Stewart, M.P., the Rev. James Hamilton, Mr. Nisbett, the bookseller, and others. The confusion having subsided, Mr. P. M. STEWART, M.P., ros e , apparently labour ing under strong excitem en t, an d sa id—Your Grace, this is sharp practice. Thi s meet i ng was a d ver tised for two o'clock, and the ch a i r was taken prec i se ly at that moment. It is always customary to allow a quarter of an hour's grace, and that is the reason myself and friends wero not present at the time. I wish to know what has been done. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH explained to the Hon. Member that a report had been read, but it was of no importance, and that he had laid before the meeting some correspondence which had passed between himself and Mr. Bain, relative to contemplated alterations. The reason the chair had been taken so exactly was that he (the Duke) was desirous of attending a Cabinet Council to be held that afternoon. Mr. P. M. STEWART was satisfied with the explana tion the Chairman had offered, but still could not lose sight of the fact that the Institution had got into con siderable entanglement in consequence of the proceedings of some of the Directors'. A committee appointed by a general court had given in a report to the Directors, that report having subsequently been unanimously approved by another Court. In defiance of this judgment, the Directors had overruled the report, and had submitted another comparatively unimportant and which would, he was quite sure, be in opposition to the views of that meeting.—(" Hear, hear," from the Seceders.) As a matter of justice, let the amended report be read. The Duke of BucoLEucH explained, that the only difference was this, that in the original report it was provided that the schoolmaster appointed should be an orthodox Presbyterian and ready to subscribe the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the amendment that he should be a member of the Church of Scot land as by law established. With regard to this matter, rlconsidered, that i n an i ns tit u ti on nam ely, the qualification of the schoolmaster, a special general meeting was called, and the or i g i na l re p or t w as like the Caledonian Asylum , the religiou s p r i nc ipl es o f the master should be clearl y and explicitly defined. It would be ruinous to their interests to all ow a man t o tchoonufigrhmted very. lt properly waso e ry considered, come in whose religious character was not well under stood.—(Loud cheers.) It was of first-rate importance that an institution which had so long enjoyed the super intendence of a clergyman of the Church of Scotland, and whose examinations had been conducted by the Presbytery of London, should continue to be in con nexion with that church, and that it should not be left open to a sect dissenting from that, or any other church. —(Cheers.) It was not a matter of church government, but one affecting the religious education of the children. —(Hear, hear.) In the lette r he h ad written, and which he had already read to the meeting, he had done all for the welfare of the institution. If he had erred, he had done it unwittingly, and with the best intentions. Mr. P. M. STEWART still persisted in having the amended report (namely, his own), read to the meeting. The Hon. Member was loudly applauded by the Se ceders present. t rise Mr. DALLAS W 011.,.. _ for the purpose of pro moting further discussio n, which could n)t be productive of any good effect. Not only was he (Mr. Dallas) con vinced of the necessity of the master bein g a mem b er o f the Church of Scotland, but would go much further, and assert, that in the present circumstances, it was indis pensable that the master should either be a minister, licentiate, or probatisner of the Church of Scotland, and he would move a resolution accordingly. He would move, " That he shall be a minister, licentiate, or proba tioner of the Church of Scotland established by law." Mr. HECTOR ROSE discussed at some length the ques tion of qualification of Episcop masters seas settled a t prev i ous lian meetings. He was an , and not likely, therefore, to be swayed by either of the contending parties in Scotland. Ile was quite of opinion that the usefulness of the Caledonian Asylum was in a great measure dependent on its connexion wi t h t h e Established Church of Scotland.—(Cheers.) THE CHISHOLM, My., contended that Mr. Stewart was wrong in the course he had taken on this occasion. report havino• been rejected itcould not Mr. Stewart'S . now come under the consideration of the meeting. Mr. P. M. STEWART persisted that the course taken by the speakers was extremely irregular and injudi cious. Why not let the meeting have his report read for their approbation ? if that count) were objected POST-OFFICE ESPIONAGE. --- REPORT FROM THE SECRET COMMITTEE RELATIVE TO THE POST-OFFICE. By the Lords Committees appointed a Secret Committee to inquire into the state of the law in respect to the detaining and opening of letters at the Post-office, and into the mode under which the authority given for such opening and detaining has been exercised, and to report their opinion thereupon and observations to the House ; and to whom was referred the petition of Joseph Mazzini, of 47, Devonshire-street, Queen • square, complaining of his letters having been de tained and opened at the Post-office, and praying for inquiry) Ordered - to report—That the Committee have met, and inquired into the subject referred to them, and have examined several witnesses in relation thereto. The Committee have not thought it necessary to at tempt to define the grounds upon which the Government has exercised the power afforded by public conveyance of letters of obtaining such information as might be thought beneficial for the public service; it seems suffi cient for the present purpose to state that the exercise of this power can be traced from the earliest institutions of this country for the conveyance of letters, from Orders in Council of the 22d of November, 1626, and 24th of February, 1627. The Secretaries of State were in time of war and danger to the state to be made acquainted, if they required it, with letters and communications to foreign parts. In 1657, upon the first establishment of a regular post-office, it was stated in the ordinance to be the best means to discover and prevent many dangerous and wicked designs against the commonwealth. In letting to farm the Post-office to individuals, and in the proclamation of the 25th of May, 1663, and 25th of August, 1683, the power is distinctly claimed and re served. The terms in which the provisions of the Act, 9th Anne, cap. 10, upon this subject, are enacted, can only be explained upon the sup position that this power was at the time fully recognised, for that Act gives no power to the Secretary of State to detain or open letters, but prohibits others from doil. , so, except by an express warrant in writing, under the hand of the principal Se cretary, for every such opening or detaining. The subsequent statute of 35th Geo. 111., cap. 62, and Ist Vic., cap. 33, adopted nearly the same form of re cognition. _ _ _ ) .I.'he power, therefore, appears to have been exercised from the earliest period, and to have been recognised by several Acts of Parliament. This appears to the Committee to be the state of the law in respect to the detaining and opening of letters at the Post-office, arid they do not find any other authority for such detaining or opening. The Committee have very carefully investigated the mode in which this power has of late been exercised. Lists and abstracts of the warrants for many years back have been preserved at the Home-office ; but the Committee have not thought it necessary minutely to pursue the investigation to an earlier period than to the year 1822, from which time only has any record of warrants been preserved at the Post-office. It appears that since 1822, 182 warrants have been issued, averaging about eight per annum ; about two thirds of these have been for the purpose of either tracing persons accused of offences, or of tracing property em bezzled by suspected offenders ; and the warrants have been issued whenever application has been made to the Under Secretary of State, upon grounds which have seemed to the Principal Secretary of State to justify such proceeding. The application has generally been made either by magistrates or by solicitors conducting prosecutions, and these parties have been put in possession of any useful information thus obtained; but not of the original letters, which have been usually returned to the Post-office, to be forwarded to their original address. The detention of letters has been invariably refused in cases in which civil rights have alone been concerned. The Committee have not had any means of estimat ing in what degree the examination of letters thus de tained has facilitated the administration of justice, the result never being reported to the Home-office, but it is known in some instances to have led to the apprehen sion and conviction of offenders, and to the recovery of property. It may seem that the issue of six or seven warrants annually, in proportion to the 30,000 or 40,000 commit tals which take place in this kingdom, cannot be an effi cient instrument of police; but, on the other hand, the issue of six or seven warrants upon a circulation of 220,000,000 of letters cannot be regarded as materially interfering with the sanctity of private correspondence, which, with these exceptions, there is not the slightest ground to believe has been ever invaded. The second class of warrants has been issued by the Secretary of State at periods when the circumstances of the country have seemed to threaten public tranquillity. The warrants for detention of letters of this class have scarcely, upon an average of twenty-one years, exceeded two annually in Great Britain; and though under some of the warrants not a single letter has been opened, under others many have been detained and examined. It does not appear that from any one of these letters specific knowledge of great importance has been ob tained. The information, however, which has been de rived from this source has been regarded as valuable, and may have given better information upon danger ap prehended in particular districts than could be derived from local observation, or than might be collected from the vague and exaggerated rumours which in periods of disturbance very usually prevail. It is the concurrent opinion of witnesses who have held high office, and who may be most competent to form a sound judgment, that they would reluctantly see this power abolished ; and possibly it might be thought to be even more convenient and requisite in time of foreign war than it is in our present state of peace. The power of issuingwarrants,which was first granted by the Irish Act, 23 and 24 Geo. 111., cap. 17, to the Lord Lieutenant or other Chief Governor or Governors of Ireland, has been very sparingly used, and the number issued does not average more than two annually, and these have been principally for the detection of suspected criminals. Majority against the Seceders ... —6 Mr. GORDON DUFF said, that after the boisterous pro ceedings of the day he should like to see one unanimous decision. He was sure the motion he was about to pro pose would secure unanimity, namely, thanks to their excellent President, the Duke of Buccleuch. The Marquis of BUTE had great pleasure in second ing the motion, which was carried by acclamation. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH acknowledged the compli ment, and the meeting dispersed, after a sitting of upwards of two hours. LAMERT ON DEBILITY, NERVOUSNESS, AND ALL DISORDERS ARISING FROM EXCESS, &c.

THE POLICE COMMISSION.-It will be fresh in the re collection of our readers, that five gentlemen were com mitted for trial by Mr. Broderip, of the Thames Pelice court, on the 25th ult, upon the serious charges of riot and disorderly conduct, and with assaulting Thomas Cobley, policeman, 65 K, and attempting to rescue a prisoner from his custody. Their names and addresses are John Gardiner, Esq., of Brett's Hotel ; Wm. Robert Gardiner, his son, a law student, of 76, Margaret-street, Cavendish-square ; Frederick Lewis, also a law student, of the same place ; Joshua Ungley Bateman, Esq., of 8, Avenue-road, Regeit's Park, barrister-at-law ; and Mr. Philip Francis Deit. of 58, Upper Warton• street, gentleman. The charge imputed to the defendants by the police was, that they had conducted themselves violently in the Commercial-road, East, shouting, " Down with the police—,to h-- with the police;" that they had ob structed the officers in taking a drunken and disorderly female to the station-house, and that they had gone so far as to push against the police and tread upon their toes. At the hearing before the Magistrate Mr. Bateman and the other defendants solemnly declared that the police had attributed language to them which originated in falsehood, and complained that three of them had been locked up in the station-house upon offering themselves as witnesses for the other two defendants. Notwithstand ing the repeated assurances of the defendants, Mr. Broderip sent the case to these sessions, observing toMr. Bateman "You are a lawyer, and know that I cannot deal with it summarily. It is either a riot to attempt to rescue a prisoner, or it is nothing at all. It is impossible for me to decide upon it ; the Act of Parliament gives me no such jurisdiction." The defendants were then ordered to find bail for 501. each, and the police were bound over to prosecute in their own recognisance of 20/. each. lIALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS.

Clarkson, Bodkin, and Wilkins, had been re tained for the defence ; but, yesterday, some astonish ment was expressed in Court upon Inspector Valentine, of the K division, entering the witness box, and addres sing the Learned Chairman, said he begged to apologise for interrupting the Court, but he had been directed by the superintendent to apply to withdraw the prosecu tions against the five above-named defendants, and to request the Court to discharge the recognisance of the policemen who have been bound over to appear. The LEARNED CHAIRMAN inquired by whose autho rity the application was made. The Inspector stated by the authority of the Police Commissioners. The CHAIRMAN next asked upon what grounds the prosecution had been withdrawn, and the Inspector re plied that it was in consequence of no violence having been used, or injury received by the police. The CHAIRMAN remarked that it was a strange and singular proceeding to bind parties over to prosecute when no complaint was to be preferred. After a few other observations, the application was acceded to. THE SANATORY REPORT. (From Bell's Life in London.) This report has at length been published, and its contents are such as to do honour to the industry of the Commissioners, and the witnesses who have been called on to give evidence before them. There i 3 above all others, one service which it will render to religion and morals, as well as to the poor in their physical condition. It will displace, and for ever utterly destroy, that cruel and blasphemous proposition, that war, and plague, and wretchedness are the natural checks upon a redundant population. That these things may destroy life, is no doubt true—that they will permanently check the too rapid advance of population is now shown to be false. Nature and religion are now freed from a tenet which seemed to contradict both, but which appeared so true, that nothing but a very strict and exact examination of intricate and multitudinous facts could possibly have de tected and exposed its fallacy. Mr. Chadwick deserves the credit of having first given to the world this con tradiction of a belief which was admitted by all good men, with the deepest regret, and the complete and overwhelming contradiction to which will be received by them with the greatest joy. The Commissioners have fully worked out the contradiction which Mr. Chadwick first offered to the glad acceptance of all feeling and religious men. It is now clear, that when these scourges of the human race, war and pestilence, diminish the amount of the population, they do it only for a time, at the fearful cost of substituting an un healthy and weakly, for a healthy and vigorous race of men. The numbers wasted by pestilence are soon supplied, but if that pestilence is of the slew, though continually operating kind, if it proceeds from dirt, and the want of the means of cleanliness, those num hers will be recruited by creatures suffering from the same causes which occasioned the deaths of their pa rents, and oppressed through a short life with the dreadful curse which attended their entrance into ex istence. And these wretched creatures will come into existence in larger numbers than their more fortunate fellow-beings. What is the lesson taught us by this fact ? What but that which reason and religion would alike have taught before— that to diminish the amount of human misery in any classes peculiarly exposed in their circumstances to its visitation, is to increase the comfort and happiness of all. No one class can be happy while others are suffering around it—no one body of men can long prosper on the wretchedness of those who are about them. All human events work in a perpetual circle, and sooner or later the mischief, in flicted or permitted to be inflicted upon some, returns on those who might have prevented its existence. In a moral and political point of view, all far-seeing men had known this to be the fact, and statistics now come to their aid to show that in the ordinary affairs of the internal economy of a nation, the same rule applies with equal force. Nature is thus vindicated from that which appeared to be a fearful self-con tradiction, and the wish to improve the condition of the lower classes will receive additional strength from the circumstance that those who possess the power to effect the improvement have an interest in effecting it. We are happy to be able to add, that even pecuniary in terest is now proved to be on the same side with morality and good-feeling, and that the researches re cently made abundantly show, that improvements in the dwellings of the poor, care for their health, and atten btieonnefittottbheemi r a d d i v r a e enttlayg,e and a n d t b h e a i p r p s i n u e p s e s r , nrs will n n d o i r t e o n t n l l y y , (though quite as extensively), but will diminish the ex penses, and improve the profits of all. We could not avoid referrinfr, to this onc great and gratifying dis cove', but tte report itself is full of matter of the highest interest and importance, and we shall again and 1 again refer to its contents. The Committee have examined into the case of the petitioner whose petition has been referred to them. It is true that Mr. Mazzini's letters were for about four months stopped and opened, under the warrant of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and in spected by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, upon an apprehension that he was engaged in a corre spondence having for its object designs which might be injurious to the tranquillity of Europe. Certain parts of the information thus obtained were communicated to a foreign Government, in so far as such a communica tion appeared to be warranted, but without the names or details that might expose any individual then residing in the foreign country to which the information was tran!,_ mated to danger. _ . The Committee are bound, in conclusion, to state, that having looked back to the proceedings of several Secre taries of State during successive Administrations for more than twenty years, they have found the practice has been nearly uniform, that the power has been very sparingly exercised, and never from personal or party motives, and that in every case investigated it seems to have been directed by an earnest and faithful desire to adopt that course which appeared to be necessary, either to promote the ends of justice or to prevent a disturb ance of the public tranquillity, or otherwise to promote the best interests of the country. The Committee leave it to the Legislature to deter mine whether this power shall continue to exist, and have discussed such rules as have been suggested as guards upon its future exercise ; namely, first the concurrence of more than one of the high officers of State in the issue of each warrant ; and, secondly, a better and more de tailed record than is at present kept of the grounds upon which each warrant is issued. EITRIVSIVE FAILURE.—Much anxiety prevails in Huddersfield, among the merchants and others in business, from the reported failure of a very highly respectable firm in the foreign trade. The liabilities of the firm are variously stated, but from every account that can be obtained it is confidently asserted that they cannot he much less than 30,0001. The Huddersfield Bank, as well as many large and small manufacturers, will be severe sufferers ; and rumour states that the estate will not pay is. fid. in the pound.— quardian. They think that the responsibility will be more effec tive when resting upon the individuals who are mainly charged with the preservation of the peace and the pre vention of crime in this country, than if it wore divided with others; and a more detailed account than is already kept of the grounds upon which each warrant is granted would frequently have the effect of leaving in the office a grave accusation, without affording an opportunity of reply or defence. It is in evidence that, though bags have been some times detained and examined, upon a suN,osition that letters from them may have been abe_ti-acted, no letters from such bags have been opened:, nor have any letters been opened at the Post-office, except letters which, from defects in the direction, could not be forwarded to their destination, unclainied letters, and letters detained by warrant from the Secretary of State. It appears to have fel' a long period of time, and under many successive administrations, been an established practice, that the foreign correspondence of Foreign Mi nisters, passing through the General Post-office, should be sent to a department of the Foreign-office before the forwarding of such correspondence according to its ad dress. The Postmaster-General, having had his atten tion called to the fact, that there was no sufficient authority for this practice, has since June discontinued it altogether. COUNT NESSELRODE.—The General Steam Navi gation Company's mail packet Columbine, C a pt a i n W. Nor wood, arrived off Blackwell-pier yesterday, at 2 o'clock, with the Dutch mail bags. Among the passengers on board the Columbine was Count Nesselrode, whose anticipated arrival was alluded to in this journal of yesterday, and who is ac companied by his son, Count Drintry Nesselrode, First Secre tary of Legation at Berlin. The Columbine had a very boisterous passage. On arriving at Helvoetsluys, the weather continued so bad that Captain Norwood cast anchor for several hours, and only left that place late on Sunday, arriv ing at Blackwell, as stated above, at 2 o'clock yesterday. His Excellency Baron Brunnow having been in hourly ex pectation of Count Nesselrode's arrival, was, with Chevalier 13enkhausen, in attendance to receive the distinguished foreigner, who upon landing entered the Ambassador's car riage, and arrived in Dover-street shortly after 4 o'clock. It is scarcely necessary to add, that Count Nesselrode, the Duke of Wellington, and Prince Metternich, are among the few re maining individuals who witnessed all the great events of 1 81 3, 1814, and 1815. The principal object of the Count's visit to this country is to enjo the benefit of sea bathing, and it is reported th a t h e Wilt leave town for Brighton early next w,eX. The Earl and Countess of Gainsborough and Lady Louisa Noel have left Barham Court, Kent, ou a tote in crennaay. - - ' --- ------ -- ------.--•-•-•,.. ... , .. ~ -- . , .• /' /' • //,,2,.....",0- -"" -f---.6? ~ / tt i 911-e—: -.' •... v • • .. ~.....,, ';, 7 •••,;-(4c .:11 ••• --,.• . tis.- - ••••'N'.- - T. , ,-. - -k...*., , ---,••, ~ . ...7:!'

Chesham is three miles off, and Hemel Hempstead within five, so that the produce finds a ready vent at a trifling expense. The land is of a quality that may always be depended on under a healthy course of cultiva. tion, and the abundant crops this year, after being subject to a severe discipline for the last four or five years, arising out of a sad forgetfulness of manure, still the land exhibits four or five quarters of capital wheat and barley, and the crops of clover are most abundant. The farm-house, as well as the buildings, are of ancient date, and, in candonr, it must be proclaimed, will be greatly benefited by a judicious outlay of three or four hundred pounds. THE WORTHY TENANT, BASSILL, """ who, with his family, have sojourned here near half a century, will be but too happy to have a lease, and continue the tenancy; but his present rent is a very inadequate one. The estate numbers near THREE HUNDRED ACRES, and with the exception of less than two, is entirely within a ring fence. There are about 50 acres in thriving woods and planta tions; it will be in accordance with good judgment to have them by degrees grubbed up, and good crops of corn become their substitute—a farmer does not need the luxury of wood land scenery, to interfere with his more important avo cations. The outgoings are not high, and the tithe has been commuted at about 4s. 6d. per acre—such is a faint outline of the property which is committed for positive sale, and offers an exceedingly eligible and secure investment for small capitalists.

TATTERS ALL'S—YESTER DAY The settlement for the Goodwood Races brought a full attendance of subscribers, amongst whom we observed several fresh faces. To say that all were satisfied would be very far to exceed the truth, few having left the room with their accounts closed up ; but, as no complaints reached our ears, we may take for granted it was quite as good as, if not absolutely better than, the ordinary run of settlings. The St. Leger betting began late in the afternoon ; it comprehended most of the favourites that have recently figured in the public quotations: The Cure, at 3 to 1, and Valerian, at 8 to 1, 15 to 2, and in three or four bets 7 to 1, being most conspicuous in demand. 4,5001. was left with Mr. Tattersall to cover the bet of 3,500 to 1,000 laid against The Cure at Goodwood. Takers of the odds quoted against Ithuriel and Red Deer, and layers against the Princess and the Ugly Buck , both. however, having been backed for small sums in two or three quarters. The Derby betting was, for the short space of time devoted to it, tolerably brisk, and at prices that look well fur the " trade." The general averages at the close of the room were as under : •—• ST. LEGER. 3 to 1 agst Mr. Salvin's The Cure 5 to 1 agst Lord Stanley's Ithuriel—taken 7 to 1 agst Mr. Vane's Valerian 7 to 1 agst Mr. J.

Jones's Trueboy, Bst 71b, and two others. AQUATICS. THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. The trial race amongst gentlemen amateurs, challengers for the silver sculls, took place yesterday, and was, notwith standing the heavy rains, accompanied by several of the leading clubs. According to the conditions of the contest. this event should have come off on Saturday, and the candi dates for the honorary distinction met at Searle's prepared for the start, but as it was the opinion of the best judges that no wherry could live through Lambeth or Chelsea reaches, the race was unavoidably deferred until yesterday, when, although the wind had abated, the weather was upon the whole anything but favourable to aquatic sports. The Silver Sculls Race was first established in 1831, by a gentleman named Wingfield, to encourage a spirit of emula tion in the scientific art of rowing; the conditions being that on each succeeding year the holder of the previous season should resign them or contest with the successful challenger of the previous week, the arrangement being that the first heat should take place on the 3d, and the final race on the 10th of August. It is almost unnecessary to say that this has always been a most interesting feature in aquatics, and generally the hardest race of the whole season. At about half-past five the four gentlemen who had entered moved towards Westminster-bridge, their boats being covered in fore and aft, accompanied by the Leander, the Neptune, the Guy's, the St. George's, the Queen, and other club boats, with a boat manned by watermen, in which Mr. Lewis took his seat as umpire. Mr. Bumpstead, Leander Club 1 Mr. Noble, Cambridge Subscription Room.. 2 Mr. Ronayne Mr. Kennedy, Amateur Scullers' Club Mr. Bumpstead, who carried off the valuable prize entitled the diamond sculls, at Henley, was the favourite. The gen tleman who had entered in the name of Noble was first on the Middlesex shore, Mr. Kennedy being second, and Mr. Bumpstead third. The start was very unevenly taken by two of the gentlemen. Mr. Noble first got it, and went away with the lead of a length or more ; Bumpstead started very indifferently, and Ronayne was right astern of all. Some sharp work followed up to Lucas's, Noble endeavouring to retain the first place, and the others workilig very gallantly to mend their positions. In the former of these Mr. Noble was unsuccessful, as after a few strokes abreast of each other, Mr. Bumpstead shook him off ; and having obtained the pride of place, kept it throughout, winning by half a minute. Mr. Ronayne rowed in a very plucky manner, and off Nine Elms passed Mr. Kennedy in good style, and kept the second gentleman hard at work all the way up. Mr. Bumpstead will row on Saturday next against Mr. Chapman, the holder of the last two years. WESTMINSER-BRIDGE REGATTA. The seventeenth annual regatta for a purse of sovereigns, given by the ladies and gentlemen of St. Margaret's and St. John's, Westminster, to be rowed for by men plying on the Middlesex side of the bridge, took pla ce yesterday. The rase was with six pair of sculls, in three heats, the distance being to start from the Duke of Buccleuch's to Vauxhall.. bridge, back round a boat moored oil Montague House, and return to the bridge.

DEPTFORD REGATTA. This contest, yesterday, for a boat and other prizes, given by the inhabitants, was very numerously attended, but was not so well contested as we have see n i t . The managers, however, were determined to compensate in quantity for any deficiency there might be in quality, and si x watermen there fore rowed five heats, the business beginning at ten in the morning, and continuing until half-past seven i n th e even i ng.

The contemplated marriage between the Earl of Mu lgrave, only son of the Marquis of Normanby, and bliss Russell, niece of the Dowager Duchess of Cleveland, is fixed to take place on the 17th inst., at Mulgrave Castle, near Whitby. Lord Claude Hamilton, M.l'., brother to the Marquis of Abercorn, will lead to the altar, to-morrow, Miss Proby. daughter of the Hon. Rear-Admiral Granville Leveson Proby, brother and heir presumptive to the Earl of Carysfort. Lord Loftus will be united early in the ensuing month to Miss Hope Vere, daughter of Lady E. Hope Vere. Mr. Charles W. Beauclerk, eldest son of the Rev. Lord Frederick Beauclerk, will be united early in the ensuing week to the accomplished daughter oi a gentleman of large fortune in Sussex. ACCIDENT IN THE LONG WALK, WINDIIOII.---On Sunday evening, about five o'clock, only a few minutes be fore her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Alt,ert, in a pony phaeton and pair, had entered the Long Walk, for their usual afternoon's airing, a serious accident occurred to two gentlemen in a gig, between the double gates and the statue on Snow-hill, as they were returning from Virginia Water. It appears that in descending the hill the horse took fright, both g en tl emen being thrown out, one of whom was for some time insensible. The horse then' dashed furiously on towards Windsor ; but the keeper, re siding at the lodg e a t th e double gates, seeing its apprOach, had just time to close the gate, and thus fortunately stopped the animal, which was proceeding at the rate of some twenty miles an hour. Both the horse and carriage were much in jured. In a few minutes afterwards the Queen and the' Prince drove along the same road which had but just before been so furiously traversed. ADVERTISEMENT. ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY PROOF OF THE EFFICACY OF HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. Mr. Stevens, a gentleman holding a highly responaible situation in an insurance-office in the City, from over attention to business, became so bilious, debilitated, and nervous, with palpitation of heart, and with a dread on the mind of some approaching calamity, as to be ren dered for some weeks quite incapable of attending to his duties. In this truly pitiable state he commenced the use of this miraculous medicine, which in a fortnight re stored him to the highest enjoyment of health, and this when physicians failed to afford the least relief. Sold (also' Holloway's Ointment) at Professor Holloway's Esta blishment, 244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis), and by almost all respectable medicine vendors throughout the civilised world. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS. Yesterday a communication was opened for foot passengers from Oxford street to Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury, on the south side of the new thoroughfare that is to connect Oxford-street with,, Holborn, by which the circuitous route in front of St. Giles's church may be avoided. The passage is across the cellar* which have been built for the new houses on that side of the street. On the north side of the way the whole of the ground is nearly excavated for the vaults, which will be completed . in a very short time. In digging the ground about the spot, where stood the hospital for lepers, some deep wells were found, in which were pumps, that had evidently been three, several hundred years, as they were formed of hollow trees; sunk in the wells. % 4
