This Office is provided with very accurately constructed tables, by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms. Similar tables enable the Society to grant increased annuities on unsound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease. Members of consumptive families assured at equitable rates. Healthy lives are assured on lower terns than at most ether offices. The first Life Assurance Society eommenced business in 1705, and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So ciety in 164 l no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of persons who suffer from disease. The science of statistics has only within a recent period been successfully applied to the duration and mortality et disease, and hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office, is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life assurance on diseased lives on a mars secure basis than even that on healthy lives. It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons, it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons labouring under disease; and to this latter feature particular atten. tion is directed. In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than all ether offices can have unitedly ; and in the Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more permanent foundation. These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease. The period of life most important to an assurance office is that he. tween 15-60 years of age, and in the following remarks we refer exclusively to this period of life. It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that more than one-third of the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preys lence eta single disease; and if the same inquiry were instituted with respect to other diseases. such as asthma, dropsy, diseases of the head, heart. *c., it *ould be found that more than one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—in Bir.: mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 1,988, forming considerably more than one-third of the whole. The same thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and from six important diseases, 9,754 ; in the latter case forming more than 42 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. On reference to the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being more than 45 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, en a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since it thus appears that a majority of the population is included in this class, the value and importance of the new feature of this society cannot fail to be justly appreciated. _ .• • The second point to 131 explained is the fact that there is much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and deserves to Ire carefully considered. The real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its caculations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation of mortality, and will Ise found to ba much less among diseased lives than over the general population, and among selected lives. The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are sufficienily near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the matter to figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in consumption was only one-fifth of the other; and in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute in its results than that which regulates the general population. Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi dered more favourable in Its results, but simply on account of the larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question under consideration; but the same test has been applied to a great number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, Sic., the fluctuation was only 7} per ceid., and in five diseases in a different district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation did not exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns in England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important diseases was 6'4 per cent. The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality in disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole range of the doctrine of probabilities so welt defined as the mor tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be depended on. It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in England and Scotland, as well as to many rural districts in Eng land, and included the experience of one or two large societies of select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the effects of locality and its sanatory condition on the duration of life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, viz., that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun try districts than in large cities; but that of these persons who suffer from disease the value of life is nearly the same. As an example of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country districts is 36.7 years ; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years—diffe. rence 33 per cent. nearly; but take the case of persons of that age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will , ultimately die of consumption, and their expee ate n of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5, in cities (Glasgow) 14'4, and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir mingham, 13'9 ; difference 'Ol7 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It therefore appears that while the difference between country and town life in the former Cl3O is about 33 per cent., that in the latter instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the results nearly uniform. The same thing holds good with come ether diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. This fact, although not generally understood, is only what might have been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in. fluenced bf external circumstances. Ithence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased lives is much less than a:nong select lives and the population gene rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be less. To apply this conclusion to the affairs of an assurance office, it may be stated, that supposing the number of lives in a society, taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would indicate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to ha ve always sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths; on the other hand, an office assuring only diseased lives need not provide for more than 109 deaths per annum; that is to say, the risk of assuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45, or only one. fifth. This fact is highly important to the interests of this Society, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctness of the principles on which it is founded. For further information, reference is made to the prospectuses and other published documents of the Society, which may be ob. tamed, on application at the Society's offices. F. O. F. WEISON, Actuary.

HARDINGE. Yesterday the Directors of the East India Company enter tained Sir Henry Hardinge, the Governor-General of India. and other distinguished guests, at the London Tavern. The preparations were on a very splendid scale. The tables were covered with gold plate, and when the room was lit up by hundreds of waxlights, the uniforms of the military officers present, and the stars and decorations of tke chief guests, together with the gay dr esses o f th e l a di es i n t h e ga ll ery, helped to render the scene very brilliant and animated. The Coldstream band was in attendance, and played favourite music during the evening, but there were no vocalists The following are the names of the principal persons pre - sent, in addition to the Chairman (Mr. Shepherd), and the Deputy Chairman (Sir IL Willett) :—Sir Henry Hardinge, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Bucki ng h am , th e Duke of Buccleuch, the Earl of Jersey, Sir R. Peel, the Earl of Haddington, Lord Stanley, the Marquis Camden, the Earl of Lincoln, Earl Delawarr, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Dalhousie, Lord G. Somerset, Lord Combermere, the Lord Mayor, Mr. Astell, Mr. Goulburn, Sir James Gra ham, Sir George Murray, Sir Edw ar d K natc hb u ll , M r. Gladstone, Sir Frederick Pollock, the Solicitor-General, Sir T. Fremantle, Mr. E. Tennent, Sir J. M'Donald, Sir R. Camp bell, Mr. S. Herbert, the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. J. W. Croker, Mr. E. Ellice, the Judge-Advocate, Sir K. Bruce, Sir J. Barrow, Sir R. Houston, Sir J. Smith, Lo r d G, S omerset, Lord Jocelyn, Lord Eliot, Lord E. Bruce, the Hon. Mr. Corry, Dr. Lushington, Sir R. Inglis, Lord Canning, Mr. Holt Mackenzie, &c. At seven o'clock the company sat down to dinner, which was provided in a style reflecting the highest credit on Messrs. Bache and Breache, the proprietors of the tavern. Sir Henry Hardinge sat on the right of the Chairman, and on his left the - Deputy Chairman. Next him sat the Lord Mayor. The Duke of Wellington sat on the right of Sir Henry Hardinge, and the Duke of Buccleuch on the left of the Lord Mayor. As soon as dinner was over, and grace had been said, The CMAIRMAN proposed " The health of her Majesty the Queen." It w a s d run k w ith th ree t i mes three. He then proposed " The Queen Dowager," which toast was also drunk with appropriate demonstrations of respect. The CUAIRMAN said the next health he would propose was that of his Royal Highness Prince Albert. His attachment to the Queen was alone enough to excite a lively interest in him and in his welfare on the part of her Majesty's subjects, but he had also endeared himself to the nation by his emi nent qualities, and his admirable public conduct. He pro posed "His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." The toast having been duly responded to, The Crum:wax then said he now rose to propose the health of a distinguished guest, whose appointment to the Governor-Generalship of India they were met there to cele brate.—(Hear.) The public services of Sir H. Hardinge were so well known that all would feel it was unnecessary for him to enlarge on them.—(Hear.) Most of them would remember, and all had heard or read of the glorious struggle in which the British arms were engaged in the Pe ninsula and in France—a struggle which had eventuated in such brilliant and substantial results; they had all heard of the war which was so successfully terminated under the leadership of the greatest warrior of the age.—(Hear, hear.) Through the whole of that war Sir Henry Hardinge bore a prominent and distinguished part—on some of the brightest pages of the history of that war the name of Sir Henry Har dinge was incribed.—(Hear.) There were, however, other services besides those which led to high military reputation in which a man might discharge his duty to his country, and in those services also Sir H. Hardinge had been distinguished. Ells service to his country did not end with his service in the field. The years of peace with which Europe had been blessed since the battle of Waterloo had afforded that Right Hon. and Gallant Gentleman an opportunity of renewing his claims on his country, by his services in the civil government and administration of the State.—(Hear, hear.) He was called to fill successively high and important situations under the Government, and in times of difficulty and trial he had never been found wanting.—(Hear, hear.) In thus adding to the reputation he had acquired as a soldier the distinction to be acquired by great talents as a Minister and statesman, he had fully merited and received the approbation of his Sove reign and his country.—(Cheers.) Such was the man who he (the Chairman) was proud to say was now about to pro ceed to India, to exercise the high and important duties of Governor-General. It must be most gratifying to him and to his friends that, without any previous concert between her Majesty's Government and the Court of Directors, the name of Sir Henry Hardinge had occurred to both as that of the fittest person to be appointed to the office of GOvernor- General.—(Hess, hear.) But it must be still more gratifying to the Right Hon. Gentleman, and to all who were connected with his appointment, that it seemed to have excited an unanimous feeling of satisfaction throughout the country.— (Hear, hear.) Hence the Right Hon. Gentleman, in going to India, would bear with him the confidence of her Majesty's Ministers, of the Directors, and of the public generally. He owed his appointment to the reputation he had established for himself, and he (the Chairman) was quite sure that here after in India his high character would be nobly sustained. He had that day had the pleasure of informing the Right Hon. and Gallant Gentleman, on his being sworn into the iffice of Governor-General, that the Directors reposed the utmost confidence in his judgment, and were prepared to af ford him their most cordial support,—that he had been selected not less because of their conviction that he possessed a firm, undaunted spirit, than because he was also endowed with a just, a generous, and a benevolent heart.—(Cheers.) They felt persuaded that while he would ever be ready to maintain the supremacy of power, ho would also take a de light in furthering the happiness of the people of India (Hear.) It was the earnest desire of the Directors, and he was sure every one would join with them in it, that his Right Hon. and Gallant Friend, after a long course of successful service in India, might, under Divine Providence, return to his native country, bearing with him the thanks and blessings of the people of India.—(Cheers.) With these observations he begged to propose to them " The Health of Sir Henry Hardinge, the Governor-General of India." The toast was received with loud applause, and drunk with three times three. Sir H. HARDiNGE rose and said-siMr. Chairman, my Lord Duke, and Gentlemen,—ln acknowledging the compli ment you have just paid me, I will at once say that I am deeply impressed with the importance of the trust that has been confided to me, and I beg to offer to you, Sir, as the Chairman of the Court of Directors, and to the other mem bers of that Court, my most grateful acknowledgments for your having considered, me worthy of so high a trust as that of the Governor-Generalship of India. The assurance which we have just heard from the Chairman, that my appoint ment was unanimously approved of by the Court, and that I should receive the cordial support of the Directors, is most gratifying to me, not on account of any private feeling merely of personal satisfaction, but because it will enable ins to perform my public duty in India with more weight and authority, when it is known that I carry with me the support of the Court of Directors—men well versed in Indian affairs—and the confidence of my late colleagues, and, above all, that my appointment has received the confirmation and sanction of her Majesty's high authority.—(Hear, hear.) These considerations, however, of favour and confidence do not mislead me. I am fully aware of the difficulties of the undertaking. can scarcely hope to fulfil all that I desire to 'accomplish ; but I know also that 1 shall receive the assistance of able men in the civil service of the East India Company—(Hear, hear)—that I shall be guided by the expos rience and local knowledge of the Court of Directors—(Hear, hear)—and the Noble Ei.r: who occupies the station of Chief Commissioner for the Affairs of India is at the head of the Board of Control ; and I beleve, also, I shall have another advantage, which to me s% ill be of an incalculable nature, — that of being able unreservedly to refer to my illustrious friend and commander, the Duke of Wellington.—(Cheers.) When the communication was first made to me by my Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Government, and the proposal was made by the Directors that I should undertake the office, my first inquiry was, " What is the opinion of the Duke of Wellington ?" I was informel that he approved of my being selected, and then, I candidly confess, I did begin to entertain some hope that the expectations of the Directors and of my Right Hon. Friend would not be entirely disap pointed. For, gentlemen, the greater portion of my public life has been passed under the eye and instruction of my illus trious commander, the Duke of Wellington.—(Hear.) I had the honour, as the Chairman has stated, of passing under him through the whole Peninsular war, and on the termination of the peace I had the honour to be selected to conduct the civil department of the Ordnance in the House of Commons, of being appointed Secretary at War, and after that Chief Secretary for Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) I only 'mention these things to show that I am well aware of the value of such an instructor, and how much I owe to such a master. Under his counsel and advice I hope to be able to carry out any arrangements that may be necessary for the support of our great and gallant Indian army. 1 hope also to be able to promote the advantage of my own country, and to amelio rate the condition of the Indian population.—(Hear.) It is true that a large portion cf my life has been spent in military avocations, but I think that I have been able to afford some guarantee that my own propensities are not warlike. On the contrary, I think I shall be a lover of peace. I may, per haps, venture to say, that I have known the miseries and the risks of war. I cannot say I have known its vicissitudes, because under that illustrious commander our armies never knew what vicissitudes were.—(Cheers.) Having made these declarations, allow me to say, that I rejoice in theopportu nity of turning my attention to the great andi gallant army in the service of the East India Company—(l ear) ttioetti eonarm of native and European troops unite)—(Hear) —for them there was no rivalry than a competition who should best perform the services of the State. I will venture to say, with reference to that army, that if it should be necessary for me to make any arrangements with respect to that army, I shall refer for advice to one who will be admitted by all to be the best qualified to afford it. Could I refer to a better man than the conqueror of Assaye—to him who so often led that army to victory, and laid the foundation of the enor mous sway we exercise in India ?—(Cheers.) Let me add, that the success of that army, under Pollock, and Gough, and others, has shown that it has by no means degenerated from its former flume. In everything that regards that army I shall always take the deepest interest ; but let its efficiency be what it may, and however brilliant its recent successes may have been, I hope that the result of those successes be that which should always be the legitimate conse quence of war—a long, -lasting, and durable peace ; and that the people of India will derive from those wars all the bless ings of peace, in the amelioration of their:condition, their im provement, their education—in short, in all those advantages which constitute the happiness and secure the prosperity of a nation.—(Hear.) These, Sir, are the objects to which 1 shall turn my attention, and I hope I shall be able to show that I am as anxious as the people of this country can be that the blessings of peace shall follow the successes of war— that, great as the distance may be between this country and our Indian possessions, we are united in one common interest —that those peaceful pursuits should be encouraged among the people of India whi c h are necessary , i n or d er t o secure their lasting prosperity and happiness.—(Hear.) Peace and commerce are already restored with China, and a long con tinued tranquillity prevails in almost every part of India, except in the case of those internal dissensions in the Punjaub, with regard to which every possible pre caution has been taken.—(Hear, hear.) I go out, therefore, with the most unbounded confidence in the Indian army, that it will maintain the national honour , and also with a full belief that the sway of Great Britain will be maintained over the intelligent, cheerful, and industrioua In Two Vols., crown octavo, price One Guinea, THE POEMS and BALLADS of SCHILLER.

SUFFOLK, within seven miles of Bury St. Edmund's. A desirable FARM, containing 117 acres, let on lease at 170/, Last evening a meeting of schoolmasters and as sistants was held at the Green Man, George-street, Westminster, for the purpose of forming an associa tion for the support and relief of decayed and dis tressed teachers. The chair was taken by Mr. Jones. After some preliminary observations, The CHAIRMAN said that it appeared to him ex traordinary that whilst all other classes of the work ng community have established institutions for the rotection of the distressed, and for the support of those who have worn out their energies in the per formance of useful duties, the teachers of this country have no establishment to which they can look for succour in adversity, or sustenance in old age. Ile recommended his brother teachers to form an associa tion for the purpose of uniting the whole body of teachers, male and female, in the great work of assist. ing those who become poor without fault, and who are friendless, having spent their lives and exhausted their energies in the most friendly offices to mankind. Mr. AUSTIN COURTENAY said that as an old school master, and having had considerable experience of the merits and sufferings of the important body to which he had had for many years—nearly his whole life —the honour to belong, he felt proud in being per mitted to move a resolution to the effect that seven gentlemen be appointed a Committee to take such measures as they may deem fit for the forma tion of an association of schoolmasters and assistants Mr. BARRE had great pleasure in seconding the above resolution, which was carried unanimously. It was moved and seconded that the following gentlemen be appointed the Committee :—Mr. Jones, Mr. Barre, Mr. Ceaton, Mr. Courtenay, M r . L ong, Mr. Parton, and Mr. onday. On the motion of Mr. Barre, seconded by Mr. Ceaton, Mr. Monday was appointed honorary Se cretary. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting adjourned till Friday the 31st inst. per annum.

(The Right Hon. Baronet sat down amidst loud cheering.) The CitainmaN then proposed,. " The Earl of Haddington and the Navy," passing a high eulogium on the services of the navy in India and China. The Earl of HADDINGTON, in acknowledging the toast, said that during the earlier struggles of the Company in India the British navy had been of essential service strengthening.their power, and afterwards, when their power became confirmed, in extending their influence in other parts of Asia. In the China war, the most essential service was afforded by the steamers of the East India Company.— (Near, hear.) With respect to his Right Hon. and Gallant Friend, he congratulated the Directors on their having selected him for the important post of Governor-General. Twice had he been officially connected with his Right Hon. Friend, and he could say that his talents and general quali ties were such as fully to justify the expectations whi c h h a d been expressed that night.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the health of the Duke of Wellington. The East India Company, he said, looked back with pride to the time when that illustrious hero led our Indian army. In India it was that the dawn first appeared of that military genius which ultimately ob tained for their distinguished guest the highest reputation of modern times.—(Cheers.) He proposed " Health and long life to the Duke of Wellington and the British Army," and called on them to drink the toast in a bumper, with three times three. As soon as the cheering with which the toast was roceived had subsided, The Duke of WELLINGTON rose to acknowledge the toast. He was received with a fresh burst of cheering. He said— : Mr. ( hairman, as you have done me the honour to drink my health, and to join my name with that of the British army, feel under the necessity of requesting your attention for a . fear moments while I express my honest and sincere thanks for the honour you have done me, and to this company for the manner in which they have received the toast.—(Hear.) Gentlemen, I entertain no doubt that the army will receive with the utmost satisfaction and gratitude the information that their services have been thus honoured by you.—(Hear.) Gentlemen, the history of the transactions of the - British nation in India affords many instances of the good conduct and valour of the army, but I will venture to say that that history records no instances of such conduct which surpasses those which have been afforded within the last few years by that same army.—(Hear.) I speak in the presence of some who have been employed in that army, and who will in all probability return to serve with it again. I beg then, when they do so not to forget the expressions of the Chairman this night as to the conduct of the army, and also to bear in mind, If they will, my own declaration, that there is not in the his tory of our transactions in India any instance of conduct more deserving of approbation than what has been afforded by our army in India up to the moment of the very latest accounts received from India.—(Hear, hear.) But we have not met here to-day to talk of by-gone transactions, although I am very grateful to you for the honour you have done me in mentioning the service which I had the honour of render ing to the East India Company when I was in India in the prime of my life.—(Hear.) We have met here to congratu late my Right Hon. and Gallant Friend en his appointment to be Governor-General of India.—(Hear.) Sir, you have briefly stated that my Right Hon. and Gallant Friend has been notorious, not only for his military services-- for his gallantry, talents, experience, and conduct in the field, in the exercise. of his profession, but also for his talents and conduct in the administration of civil affairs—for his,. conduct in several important appointments of the state, and for his conduct in Parliament and in her Majesty's councils. I cannot avoid congratulating the Directors on the selection they have made of my Right Hon. and Gallant Friend as Governor-General of India, and especially that her Majesty has been pleased to confirm and approve the appointment, and that my Right llon. Friend at the head of the Govern ment has considered himself at liberty to accept it. Sir, I feel a confidence that my Right Hon. and Gallant Friend will fulfil to the satisfaction of all parties, the great duties which are imposed on him by that appointment—that he will administer the government of the country which is placed under his charge for the advantage, benefit, and happiness of the people thereof, to the satisfaction of his employers, the East India Company, of his Sovereign, and of her servants, and of the whole British public.—(Hear.) Gentlemen, I again congratulate you that the Court of Directors have made such a selection as my Right Hon. Friend.—( Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the next toast. He said, although the East India Company disclaimed all party considerations, and entertained, as a body no political views except with reference to the interests of the great Indian empire, yet they felt deeply sensible of the advantage of having in her Majesty's Ministers men pre-eminent for un doubted and unbounded patriotism, and who possessed the confidence of the country.—(Hear, hear.) He would also add, that the East India Company had great reason to be grateful to the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Go vernment for the cordial co-operation he had afforded them in the selection of Sir Henry Hardinge to be the Governor- General of India. Her Majesty's Government could not in a more efficient manner have exhibited the great interest and anxiety they felt for ,the welfare of India.— ( Hear, hear.) Her Majesty's Ministers and the Directors had but one great united object in view—the good government of that vast empire on the principle of justice and modera tion, and of extending the influence of British feeling and sympathies among the people of that country. To ameli orate the condition of those people was the great object of both. They had, however, the honour of the presence among them of Sir R. Peel, a gentleman-who, in his (the - Chairman's) opinion had shown a noble exampl e t o hi s coun t rymen. I n early life distinguished by high attainments and elegant scholarship, his manhood had been spent with advantage to his country in her service, and now he was for the second time at the head of her Majesty's councils.—(Cheers.) He had great pleasure in drinking " The health of Sir R. Peel and the rest of her Majesty's Ministers."—(Loud cheers.) Sir R. PEEL (who was labouring under severe hoarseness) said—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, on my own behalf and on that of my colleagues, I beg to return you our united thanks for the honour you have conferred upon us. Gentle men, however great may be the pressure on our attention of other interests nearer home, we are not the less deeply im pressed with the magnitude of those interests which are com prehended in our relations with our Indian empire. We feel the extent and importance of those interests in a political, a commercial, and a moral point of view. In a political point of view, because this country could never tolerate the seve rence of an empire gained by such Military exertions as the battles of Plassy and Assaye, and the recent triumphs of our arms in the East. In a commercial point of view we feel the importance of that empire, because, seeing the extent of the competition to which our commerce Is exposed, and the jea lousy there is on the part of other nations of our commercial and manufacturing pre-eminence, it is of the utmost im portance to cultivate commercial relations with India, which can only succeed by means of a reciprocity of advantages and the maintenance of the prosperity of India itself. In a moral point of view the empire of India is of importancs, because there aro moral influences independent of military power and commercial prosperity, which enable a country to hold high language among the nations of the world, and nothing that we could say would conduce so much to that moral influence as to be able to exhibit the example of a beneficent rule over millions of our fellow-creatures in the East enjoying the blessings of trade, of the emancipation from a, state of slavery, and guaranteed the possession of life and liberty, by establishing civil liberty on a sure founda tion, and receiving perhaps an ultimate extension of it, not by vexatious interferences with the religion of the natives— (dear)—but by exhibiting to them the advantages of a mild, beneficent rule, founded on the great principles of the Chris tian religion.—(Hear.) Yet in the administration :of the complicated affairs of a great empire, it cannot be expected that there should not occasionally be an honest difference of opinion among those intrusted with that administration ' • but I trust that those differences, when they unfortunat e ly, do exist, will never make us forget the responsibility which de volves on all the authorities connected with the administra tion of India, and that they will never make us unmindful of the important interests connected with the future for tunes of that country.—(Hear.) I consider that her Ma jesty's servants have recently given you the strongest proof we can give of the deep interest we feel in the wel fare of India, and of our anxiety to promote it. For the advancement of the interests of that country we have con sented to sever our connexion with a colleague who was entitled to our entire confidence, W and who possesses our esteem and regard as a private friend. We have consented to appoint to the government of that country a colleague, who, as a soldier, has his name connected with Corunna, Albuera, and with the whole Peninsular war, and closed his military career on the plains of Waterloo. We have con sented to part with a colleague who, in the administration of civil affairs, exhibited a rare combination of temper, firm ness, resolution, and moral courage.—(Hear, hear.) We have made this sacrifice in the belief that no other man would be better qualified for the great task he has under taken—(Hear, hear)—and, on the part of my colleagues and myself, I join in that earnest and sincere prayer of the Chair man to-night, that, under the blessings of Divine Providence, lie may, after having performed his fuel service in India, return to his native land, having added to the fame he has already acquired, and able to enjoy the retrospect of . having maintained peace in India, consolidated its connexion :with this country—of having promoted the interests he and happiness of the millions who live under our rule—that servants l may r o e f tu ti tz the to justify that confidence of the Crown , Crown and the East India Company, and that many of us may live to see the day when we shall hail with delight and satisfaction his return to this country, after a prosperous and successful tenure of office.—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then gave "The Earl of Ripon" (who was absent from ill-health). The Duke of Buccusucn acknowledged the toast in the absence of the Noble Earl, and proposed the health of the "Chairman and Deputy-Chairman." The CHAIRMAN returned thanks in a brief but appropriate speech, and gave the " Legal Institutions of the Country and the Vice-Chancellor." The VICE-CIIANCELLOR acknowledged the toast. The Civil Service in India" was then given by the CHAIRMAN, and acknowledged by Mr. 11. MACKENZIE. " The Indian Army" was the next toast, and was responded to by Sir R. Hougrox, and after the health of the Lord Mayor had been drunk and acknowledged by his Lordship, the com pany separated.
