THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution net to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that It was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object haying 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 er caprice of these who shall be in the managemeit 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, anhesitatingly deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from thane by fraudulent misrepresentation. The regulations coalmen to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct aces of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all thenuestiens which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated; and nothing but fraad, proved to have been committed against thew, can vitiate a policy granted by this Company. - - THIS IS •NLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and ale* a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THId ONLT COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums In the policies, although the debts for whick they were effected shall have been liquidate.' before the claims' arise. The Company considering It only just towards the assured that where premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid; and they undertake to do so withont reference to the state of the accounting between the assured and kis debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THR ONLY COMPANY who grant Ii favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. Tim premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the proflts is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to complete security will permit.

The Half-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to tkeir own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years. at 5/. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 10/., the first pay raent by the half-prentinm plan will be five guineas, being the one half of the 101., 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 51. ; for the second, of 101. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at Si. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted front the 500/. then payab.

THREE OF THE NAPIERS. We have received a copy of the Cape Town Mail, containing an account of a dinner given in the Commer cial Hall, Cape Town, to Sir George Napier, Governor- General of the colony;' - by a number of his friends, on the eve of his departure for England, after holdin g that appointment for six years. The Hon. Justice Menzies presided, and the Hon. Messrs. Porter and Montagu occupied the vice-chairs. The part of the proceedings which we subjoin will be read with interest : The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, if you will read the second edition of Gurwood's " Dispatches " (which I strenuously recommend, to the perusal of those who have not yet read them), you will find a most remarkable cir cumstance there mentioned, namely, that, in addition to previous letters to her, communicating similar misfor tunes, the Duke of Wellington, on no less than three oc casions, within the short period of sixteen months, wrote to a noble lady, informing her of her sons having been wounded in battle. One of these sons was wounded in every one of three engagements ; and, on each of two of these occasions, he had a brother sharing with him the same calamity. I shall not trouble you with reading the whole of those letters, but there is one extract which I must read " Your sons are brave fellows, and an honour to the army. Having such sons, I am aware you expect to hear of those misfortunes which I have so often had to communicate to you ; and, notwithstanding your affec tion for them, you have so just a notion of the value of the distinction they are daily acquiring for themselves, by their gallantry and good conduct, that these misfor tunes do not make so deep an impression on you." That noble lady was the mother of Sir George Napier. —(Lousl. cheers.) He was the officer who within these sixteen months, was four times wounded. His brother Charles was wounded along with him, on the first, and his brother William, on the second of these occasions. Happy sous ! who had such a mother, to train them up in the path of glory, and to do their duty to their country. Happy, happy mother! who had such sons, to profit by her instructions, and to be proud of. And thrice, happy country! which possessed, among its sons and daughters, such a mother.—(Loud cheers.) The eldest of , the sons is Sir Charles. Ido not know where he. first -com menced his career of glory, but I shall begin at Corunna, where he fell, actually covered with wounds . , at the head of the 50th Regiment, after having displayed such despe rate valour, that his conduct, on that occasion, excited the highest admiration, and gained him the esteem, and lasting friendship of two of the bravest soldiers, and greatest generals, in the French army—Marshals Soult and Ney. Having recovered from those wounds, he went on, from field to field, gaining honour, and reputation, and shedding his blood, until the British army reached the Pyrenees.—(Cheers.) His country then called for his services elsewhere, and, but that the overwhelming victory at Waterloo, the intelligence of which reached England at the same time, swallowed up everything else, the victory which Col. Charles Napier achieved in North America, would not have passed unnoticed by his country men. I need say no more of the early career of this gal lant officer. After going through almost incredible dan gers, and receiving wounds, after which it is wonderful that life could be preserved, he has, in his old age, at a period of life when others, who have not been exposed to the fatigues and wounds to which he has been, gene rally Seek for repose from active service, gone to a dis tant country and dangerous climate, and there he has, in the two great actions he has fought, shown all the gallan try, daring, and dash of youth, combined with the highest military science, as a General, and talents as a states man, and achieved for himself the well-earned title of the Hero of Sinde.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) The other, and yeungest brother, the Gallant General Wil liam Napier, fought through the whole of the Peninsu lar war, Few were the actions which occurred in which he was not concerned, and in many he was wounded. And his wounds were so severe, as to have deprived his country of the use of -his arm. But, al though thus disabled in body, he has not been idle in the service of his country ; lie called forth, and applied, the great talents and resources of his mind ; and he has produced a " History of the Peninsular War," which must always form part of the library of every officer who is desirous of studying his profession, and which must be read by every civilian, who wants to know what a battle is. —(Cheers.) I rose, 'gentlemen, intending to propose the health of Sir Charles and Wil liam Napier ; but, gentlemen, although we have already drunk the health of our illustrious guest, don't you think it would be hard to separate the three brothers ?—(Loud cheers.) I see you agree with me. Let us, therefore, drink to the health of the Three Gallant Brothers, whose 'mines were constantly associated together in the Penin sular army—" Charles, George, and William Napier." —(Cheers.) • Sir GEORGE NAPIER said—Gentlemen, I really hardly know what to say;. but my Honourable Friend has paid so many compliments to my family, that it is abso lutely incumbent on me to say something in return. You have done me the honour to drink my health again, together with my brothers'. I shall say nothing more, however, of myself ; but though it may appear vain in me, I will be vain enough to say a few words about my brothers. Gentlemen — we were reared together—we have fought and bled together—we have slept in the same cloak, and until now, we have never been separated. One of them, as you are aware, was in command at Meanee and Hyderabad, where I know from others how he had dis tinguished himself ; for he is far too modest to speak of his own merits. Gentlemen, if ever there was a man in the world, who had the feelings of a soldier, my brother Charles is that man. His sole object in life has been the army. He entered it at fourteen years of age; 'he is now sixty-two, and during all that time, he has never been six nionths on half-pap—He has been in every campaign, and in most of the great actions that have been fought in the Peninsular war,—what ho nour and what gallantry he has shown in action, it is not for me to say; it is known by all, even from the youngest drummer in the army to the Duke of Wellington, at its head. He has lived now to go to India, after fighting for his country in every part of her Majesty's dominions; and these he has achieved those two splendid actions, of which we have lately had accounts.—(Hear, hear.) When I saw those accounts, gentlemen, believe me when I say I gloried more in my brother's victories than I could have done if they had been my own. Gentlemen, I have lived with that brother since my infancy, and we were never separated till now.,-(Cheers.) The Chair man has kindly mentioned an anecdote relative to a mother, than whom there never was abetter. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, and my great great-grandfather, were all soldiers ; and my mother, above all things, wished us to pursue their steps. After sixty, she became quite blind, and could not distinguish her sons by sight, yet nothing could daunt her spirit, and she continued to encourage us in the path of honour. When I came home after the affair of Cuidad Rodrigo, she said to me—" I would rather have my son with that empty sleeve, than anything else in the world." Gentle men, my brother William, the historian of the Peninsular War ' is as brave, and kind, and high - min d e d a m a n as ever lived; and I believe that every man who reads that history will acknowledge that he has done justice not only to his brethren in arms, but to a gallant enemy. He has gathered the materials for that history from two great sources; and, although some of the statements in the third volume have been cavilled at, and supposed not to be correct, yet, Gentlemen, the two great sources from whence he obtained his information, were far beyond suspicion—they were the Duke of Wellington and Mar shal Soult. I mention this circumstance, because it il lustrates a curious fact, connected with that history. What first gave rise to my brother's intention to under take that work, was the publication of a book, containing some strong reflections against the character of a man upon whom I look back with the same feelings that I en tertain towards my own father. Entertaining feelings similar to mine, my brother reviewed that book ; and, in doing so, brought forward the beautiful character of the man who bred us all, and took care of him when he was wounded—of the man who, after having nobly served his country, was raised, at the age of forty-eight, to be Com mander-in-Chief of one of the bravest armies that ever left the British shore, with which he traversed the Penin sula, from the heart of Spain to Corunna—General Sir John Moore.—(Loud cheering.) That man owed his advancement to nothing, but the sword he wore. He was, as you are aware, the son of Doctor Moore, the author of " Zeluco." The Doctor gave him a good education and left him to his own efforts, and with his sword alone, John Moore placed himself at the head of the British army—no easy thing at that time. Of the military cha racter of Sir John Moore, it is sufficient to quote the words of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, when an ef fort was made to create a party feeling against Sir John. The Duke spurned it, as he would everything that is mean, and said, " Sir John Moore never committed a fault, and I appreciate him as he was—the best of British soldiers." To the example and encouragement of Sir John Moore I owe more than I can express. I was his aide-de-camp—l was by his side at Corunna—l saw him killed—l have got the sash in which he fell ;itis at pre sent in the possession of Sir Henry Hardinge, but I hold it most dear, as a relict that shall be bequeathed to my children after me. Sir J. Moore's army underwent great sufferings, but it did wonders ; and, wherever my brother William's history goes, I trust it will clear the character of that great and good man, so worthy of all honour. I mention these things, gentlemen, in order to show you the manner in which we were brought up. Gentlemen, under Sir John Moore, we were taught to support the character of our own army, but to entertain no antipathy to the brave enemy who fights us fairly and honourably. As a noble instance of this feeling, I would ask, is there any thing in history equal to the reception which Marshal Soult, when in England, received from the Duke of \VA lington? I know Soult from two causes. After the battle of Corunna, my brother Charles was reported to be killed. I returned to the field. I turned over many bodies ; I searched every hospital, but I could not find him. At length, I heard that he was wounded, and taken prisoner. De was shot through the body—he was shot through the leg—he was cut by a sabre, almost from ear to ear—and one of the enemy was just about to drive his bayonet through him, when a French drummer interposed, and saved his life. When Mar shal &milt learned the circumstance, he ordered the drummer to be rewarded on . the spot, and wrote to Napoleon, stating the circumstance; who, to his credit be it spoken, ordered, that drummer to receive the Cross of the Legion of Horiour.—(Cheers.) The sequel was -.remarkable: ' Bears ' after that, my brother William had to defendtthe bridge at the Coa, with the 43d. The French came down-impetuously, and the fight was furious. I have seen the bridge, gentleman; and it is hardly wider than this table. Again and again the assault was renewed ; and you may judge of the fierceness of the conflict, when I state, that out of the hundred men of which my brother William's com pany consisted, he lost sixty. A fresh column of the enemy came down—a drummer, as was common at the time, at their head shouting " Vice t Em pereur !" They were driven back, and the drummer fell among the dead. After the action, we went up to the spot where the drummer lay ; he wore the cross of the Legion of Honour ;—that drummer proved to be the man who saved my brother's life.—{Cries of " Hear, hear.") Gentlemen these are anecdotes pf the war, which show you what the feelings of soldiers are. You will never find the brave soldier cruel to his enemy, or quarrelsome with his friends. And, as lam story-telling, there is another anecdote connected with the Peninsular war, which, in reference to this principle, I may also mention. When Marshal Soult quitted Corunna, the gallant Ney was left in command. He sent for my brother, who was still a prisoner, and placed him in comfortable quarters. He also appointed an aide-de-camp to attend upon him, a Frenchman, who spoke English well. In the mean time, the news had got home that my brother was killed, and the family went into mourning. My poor mother, however, said she never would believe it ; and she gave the War Department no rest, until Lord Mulgrave, who was at the head of it, sent a sloop of war to Corunna, commissioned to ascertain the fact. One morning, the aide-de-camp came running in to my brother, and said an English vessel had arrived in the harbour. It was not known for what purpose she bad come, but the kind hearted fellow went to Ney, and begged that my brother might be allowed to go home in her. Ney answered, " No; I cannot let him go ; Major Napier must remain." The aide de-camp returned, and informed my brother of the ill success of his attempt. " Well," said my brother, "of course I must submit ; my mother will at least hear that I am alive." Again the aide-de camp went to Marshal Ney, and again he was refused ; but still he persevered in pleading for my brother's release.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.)- 7 At last he said, " Ah! Marshal, Major Napier has a mother, and if he does not return, his mother will die!" The Marshal paused a moment, and, turning to him, said —" Go, tell Major Napier he is free, on one condition : —that if the Emperor refuses to sanction this release, he will join me again on his parole." To this, of course, my brother gladly consented ; and, on waiting on the Marshal, he was asked if there were any of his people whom he would wish to take with him ? My brother said, there were some forty or fifty women, who had been left behind. These Ney ordered to be immediately released, and, turning to his aid-de-camp, added, " See that every soldier and every woman gets -two Spanish dollars a piece to take them home."—(Loud cheers.) I was about to mention some particular 7 with regard to my brother as an historian. When I was in Paris, Marshal Soult gave_ me a dinner—not on my account, but as- the brother of the historian—at which a number of Spanish, Portuguese, and othet foreigners of distinction, were present. Mar shal Soult then addressed himself to me on the subject of the work, and said—that, when my brother first wrote to him, requesting information from sources which he had at his command, he was by no means disposed to accede to the request, and wrote a cold letter in reply, stating that he had a journal of his own,hut that he did not see how the conduct of the French could be impartially re presented by a foreigner. "Your brother," said " Soult, " wrote in answer, that his object in asking for the in formation, was for the purpose of writing an impartial his tory, and that, therefore, if there were any inaccuracies, I must not attribute them to him, but to the want of suffi cient information. I took no further notice of the matter; but after a time, a letter came to me from your brother, stating, that in his researches, among other documents, he had found a lot of letters•beionging to Joseph, King of Spain, accusing me of wanting tá throw off my allegiance to France. He said he had read them over, and found that they contained grave accusations against me ; but, before he published them, he sent them over for my pe rusal, in order that he might publish, at the same time, any defence that I might wish to make. When I read this, I said—this must be a gallant soldier and a good man. And I immediately sent him a quantity of papers, and my own journal, and told him that I committed the whole to him, because I knew they would be used by him as an honourable man and a brother soldier." On this noble conduct, on the part of Marshal Soak, I need make no remark. Our great Captain showed the feelings he entertained towards him on his recent visit to England. Soult travelled on the railroads and visited various parts of the country, and my brother told me he never saw a man who appeared so gratified with his visit as Soult appeared to be; and the French Captain Rooy, who has just left this port, told me that Soult declared that no thing could ever obliterate, till the day of his death, the extraordinary kindness that had been shown him by the Duke of Wellington, the British army, and the British nation.:—(Cheers.)—Belfctst .Northern Whig. VISITS of FOREIGN SOVEREIGNS (From the Naval and Military Gazette.) The occasional visits of Foreign Sovereigns to this country we consider, apart from the mere indulgence of curiosity, events of the highest importance, not only with regard to England, but to Europe generally. In the first instance, they serve to abate or do away with prejudice on both sides ; and we look on their frequent recurrence as one of the principal causes why the ge neral dislike of foreigners, which Englishmen seemed to imbibe with their mother's milk, has now almost entirely disappeared. We recollect to what an extent this ani mosity against the French was carried during our late struggle with that country ; and how much that feeling was stimulated by every possible means, in speaking and writing ; it was carried often to such excess as to defeat its own purpose, and was partaken of not alone by the ignorant and uninformed, but by per • sons of rank and talent ; we even know instances of officers in the service, who bore a sort of personal hatred to the French ; among the foremost of these was the great example of Lord Nelson. This sort of feeling might be in a great degree praiseworthy during a period of hostility, when we were struggling for our very existence as a nation; but the glorious termi nation of the war, and the vast crowds of English who flew to the Continent, very soon dispelled this dislike, amounting to horror, which had existed against the French in general. We have stated that Lord Nelson participated in this sentiment—we believe, we may add, Lord Collingwood, and one or two others ; but in the navy there were very few opportunities of seeing the better part of the French character ; in four cases out of five, they had no communication with the officers of the hostile nation, until they came on board their ships to deliver up their swords, and then the generosity dis played was all on the English side. Neither on the sea when ships come in sight, are there those pauses in hos-, tility which are so frequent on shore, and where mutual forbearance, unless in the moment of combat, tends to give a more generous tone of feeling to those who are opposed. The immediate vicinity of the advanced posts of an army give frequent opportunities for acts of mutual civility, and even kindness, in which the French officers and their men appeared to great advantage ; in most cases where our officers were taken prisoners, they were treated like gentlemen. For these several causes, we may say, that the ancient prejudice and dislike that used to exist against the French in the abstract has entirely died away; and we have only to regret that a reciprocal feeling of good-will is not equally prevalent at the other side of the Channel. Although the Russians were the best and most suc cessful allies we ever had, their resistance and sacrifices, made in 1812, having broken the second link of the great chain that bound all Europe, yet since the peace of 1815 a growing prejudice has been fostered in this country against that people and their Sovereign. The amount of their military fordo was vastly exaggerated—they were supposed to_be bent on universal conquest—Con stantinople was to be the third capital—and the mere report of the marCh.to Khiva, and their ultimate sup posed view on our Indian possessions, sent many thou sands of our brave fellows to perish in the passes of Affghanistan. Without taking into account the circumstances under which the present Czar assumed the reins of Govern ment, the unsettled state of Poland, and the vast extent of frontier to be defended, he was held up as an unmiti gated tyrant, murdering and banishing the roles, and the persecutor of the Jews, out of mere caprice ; indeed, these reproaches ran so high, that we had some slight apprehensions that the Emperor, if he visited our shores' might meet with some affront ; but the supposition was an injustice to our countrymen, which one short week was sufficient to disprove. With out waiting to scan the conduct of the Emperor towards his own subjects, they looked on him as the guest of their Sovereign and the nation ; they received him with corresponding demon strations, and were perfectly gratified by the distiet. guished appearance , n oble bearin g , and princely munifi cence of their Imperial visitor. If we were to take up causes of animosity or prejtt judice from past times, they might be brought to bear against the respected Monarch who is still within our dominions. During the long and ambitious career of Buonaparte, the late King of Saxony was his most devoted ally, and remained so until his own troops deserted him at Leipsie ; but who would think of bringing that up as a matter of reproach now-a-days against his sue cessor ? We simply see him as an honoured guest, and the only remembrance is, that he reigns over a kindred p e ople, from whom we have derived much of our lan guage, institutions, and even the virtues in which we most pride ourselves. Beside the pleasure and instruc tion foreign Princes receive on visiting our island, they will be able to ascertain by - their own eyes that, as long as the nation is true to itself, and although not possessing an army adequate to half the calls on it, Great Britain is not to be conquered. , /42_ - - </Z6- MAGAZINES (CONTINUED).

THER of LARD AUDLEY. On Saturday .a.yuwag sago cf gentlemanly-appearance, who said his name was. Wrn. Rose T.4-audlet. was brought before Mr. Twyford, at Bow-street, charged with firing a loaded pistol at Thomas Smith, gun-maker, and pro prietor of a shooting-gallery, 288, High Holborn, with intent to murder him. The prisoner seemed perfectly composed, and not by any means conscious of having committed an offence of such a serious nature. Alfred Smith, being sworn, said—l am son of Thomas Smith, gunsmith, and keeper of a shooting gallery, 288, Holborn. About half-past twelve o'clock the prisoner entered the gallery, and said he wished to know if he could have a shot or two with pistols ? The ques tion was then put to my father, who replied, " Cer tainly," and having loaded a brace of pistols he put them into the prisoner's hands for the purpose of shooting at the target. At the second shot he said the trigger pulled rather hard, and my father told him he might set the hair-trigger if he liked, but he replied he did not want them to go exactly so easy, and he Would shoot with them as they were. On the third shot the prisoner deliberately turned round while my father was loading the other pistol, and shot him in the back without ut tering a word, but he smiled after he had committed the deed. My father immediately cried out, " Good God ! I'm shot through the back," and upon my asking the prisoner what induced him to commit such an act, he made no reply. I was close by all the time, and after assisting my father up stairs with some difficulty, on my return the prisoner said he committed the deed as he was tired of his life and wanted to be hanged, but he ad mitted that he had no animosity against my father. I recollect that about three months back the prisoner came to the gallery and had some shots, but nothing particular occurred on that occasion. In answer to the Magistrate, the prisoner said he had no explanation to give, except that he had no against the man, and he committed the act for the pur pose of being hanged. Mr. TWYFORD—IS there anything particular that makes you unhappy , ? Prisoner—Nothing whatever. Mr. TWYFORD—Are you married or single. Prisoner —I am not a married man. Mr. TWYFORD—DO you live with your parents ? Pri soner—l live alone in lodgings. Mr. TWYFORD—Have you lately been ill ? Prisoner —Not at all. Mr. TWYFORD—What may be your age ? Prisoner —Twenty-two last April. Mr. TWYFORD—What are your reasons for acting in such an extraordinary manner ? Priioner—Oh, there are a variety of reasons. Mr. TWYFORD—YOU are aware you have committed a dreadful act ? Prisoner—Yes, 'tis a dreadful thing. Mr. TWYFORD—I shall direct you to be taken care of for some days. Prisoner—Very well. Mr. Smith's son informed the Court, after the pri soner was removed from the bar, that his father re ceived the contents of the pistol in the small of the back. and that he was directly removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Mr. TwyFonD directed the constable to proceed to the Hospital, and bring him some account of the wounded man before the closing of the Court. After the prisoner was removed from the bar, he was immediately removed in the van to Clerkenwell Prison. In the course of the day Lord Audley came to the Court, evidently much affected at the account he had received of the prisoner's conduct, and had a long con versation with Mr. Twyford. He said he did not con sider his brother (the prisoner) was deranged. His Lordship afterwards had an interview with the prisoner in a room at the rear of the office. The policeman who was sent to make inquiries at the Hospital as to the state of the sufferer, brought' back the following certificate:— " I certify that I have this day examined Thomas Smith, an inmate, of this Hospital, with a pistol-shot wound in his loins, and I cannot pronounce him out of danger. " St. Bartholomew' s Hospital, GEORGE ROYDE,JuIy House-Surgeon. 6, 1844." From inquiries instituted yesterday, we have a.scer• tained the following particulars in reference to the me• lancholy affair. It appears that Mr. William Ross Tuche has occupied apartments at No. 26, Weymouth-street Portland-place, during the last eighteen months. Ile lived a very retired life, generally leaving home after breakfast, and returning late in the evening. About eight weeks since Lord Audley came over from Ireland on a temporary visit, and took up his residence with his brother in Weymouth -street. Nothing occurred to lead his Lordship to believe that his brother's mind was affected until within the last few days, when his manner, which was invariably reserved, became much more so, to such an extent, indeed, that it was exceedingly diffi cult to obtain an answer 'to any question addressed to him. On ordinary subjects he occasionally conversed in his usual manner, manifesting considerable strength of mind. This appears to have thrown his friends off their guard, and Lord Audley states that he himself thought the peculiarity of his brother's manner arose from cir cumstances connected with his affairs. On Saturday morning Mr. Tuchet received a letter which added to the gloom under which he previously appeared to labour, and for a considerable period ho became quite abstracted. At eleven o'clock he left home for the avowed purpose of taking a walk, having rallied a little at that time, an d, upon going c ould execute out, he asked Lord Andle4 if he any commission for him ? His Lordship replied in the negative, and the unhappy gen tleman left home alone. At four o'clock a policeman arrived in Weymouth -street to inform Lord Audley of the melancholy event which had occurred, and to request his attendance at Bow-street. His Lordship, who was of course deeply affected at the circumstance, set off in stantly, but did not reach the office in time to see his brother. He, however, had, as above stated, an inter view with Mr. Twyford, and then proceeded to Clerken well Prison for the purpose - of visiting his unfortunate brother. Upon being introchiced to his brother, Lord Audley inquired what brought him to that place, to which Mr. Tuchet, who appeared quite unmoved at his position, replied, "I am sure Ido not know." It will be observed that this observation is altogether at vari ance with the answers made to the questions put by the magistrate during the examination at an earlier period of the afternoon. Lady Audley, the mother of the un fortunate young man, is at present residing with her daughters at Sandgate, whither information was immedi ately forwarded, and the lion. Miss Tuchet arrived in town last evening. It is said that letters written by the young man evince decided proofs of aberration of mind ; but the members of his family had hoped itwas but a tem porary affliction which had long since passed away. Mr. Smith, the objec t of Mr. Tuc het's attack , is happily going on well, and great hop es are enterta i ne d o f a , favourable termination of his ease.

The most entertaining article in this Number is a " Narrative of the late Niger Expedition," which is from the pen of a gentleman named Monett, and is written in a shrewd and lively spirit of observation. The author gives a lamentable account of the demo ralised condition of many of the native tribes on the banks of the Niger, and says of the African character generally, that the negro will do nothing without being well paid for it. This is a peculiarity by no means confined to savages, but is common enough even in the most civilised countries. " Our Note- Book" contains several scraps of amusing information respecting ancient temples in Ceylon, the Red River Settlements, &c. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. Captain siborne's account of the Campaign of 1815, which we noticed at some length in The Sun a week or two since, forms the subject of a critical notice in the present Number of this periodical. The extrai:ts quoted by the Reviewer ere copious and judiciously chosen, and his own digest of the leading features of this brief but memorable campaign is drawn up with care and skill. In the article headed " Continental Countries" we have a portrait of the Prussian national character, which the author represents in no very amiable light, observing, "The Prussian with his harder and more angular physiognomy, and such a bountiful development of the knowing organs, as well as_ those of self-esteem, combativeness, and acquisi tiveiless, as must doubtless exist if there be any truth in phrenology, bears the same relation to the less arctic German, as in Britain does the shrewd and energetic north-countryman to the less acute, less pushing, but more genial southron." Of the remain ing articles the most entertaining is the tale of the "Nevilles of Garrelstown." TAIT S MAGAZINE. This Magazine—an unusual thing with- Tait--has not reached us till this day, about four days after date, which will account for our delay in noticing it, and also for the brevity of our notice. We have hastily cast our eye over the Number, and find it neither better nor worse than usual ; the best, or at any rate the most readable article is the notice of Mr. D'lsraeli's " Coningsby," to whose elegance and sprightliness of dialogue, the. Reviewer does every justice. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. TO- THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. "Sir Robert Peel admits that the Bank of England may issue notes to the amount •of thirty millions—six teen millions on bullion, fourteen millions on Govern ment debts, 8;c. The deposits exceed thirteen millions. I repeat a question I have put itit a former •letter. If a panic should arise, and the depositors withdraw thirteen millions of gold, how are the thirty millions of notes to be cashed 7"— Letter signed " Common Sense," in The Sun of June 27, 1844. Siu,—`What a very curious fancy of your corres pondent, "Common Sense," to imagine a panic with 29,000,0001. of bullion in the coffers of the Bank of England. If the proposed Bank Charter Bill should be 'carried into effect, that law must be infringed, if there be not 16,000,000/. of bullion in the issue de partment at all times . when there is a circulation of 30,000,0001. of notes ; so that, supposing the de positors to have had thirteen millions of bullion paid to them from the banking department, there mast still remain 16,000,000/. of bullion in the coffers of the issue department, if 30,000,0001. of notes be then left in circulation, showing that, if the position of " Common Sense " should hereafter occur, the Bank must—previous to the payment of thirteen millions of bullion to the depositors, and yet having 30,000,0001. of notes in circulation-- be in possession of 29,000,0001. of bullion immedi ately previous to the payment of the depositors, 9,000,000/. in the banking department, and 16,000,0001.- in the issue department, as the Bank, by law, would be bound to have bullion in its coffers for every note issued above 14,000,0001.; so, there being an Issue of 30,000,0001., there ought, and, of course, would be, 16,000,0001. of bullion, being the amount of issue over and._above 14,000,0001. Your correspondent says that Sir Ro bert Peel admits that the Bank of Englandinay issue 30,000,0001. of notes—to be sure the Bank may, who can doubt it ?—there is no limit to the amount of issue of the Bank of England; the only limit is, that the Bank must at all times have a value in bul lion in the coffers of the issue department, equal to the whole issue over 14,000,000/. ; so the Bank of England might have an issue of 100,000,000/. of notes, provided it held bullion to the value of 86,000,000/. Now, we find that although the depositors shall have paid thirteen millions from the banking depart ment, there will be sixteen millions of bullion to meet the thirty millions of notes—a very handsome balance-sheet for a banker to show his distomers. Yet " Common Sense" asks, " how are the thirty mil lions of notes to be cashed ?" Let " Common Sense" put himself in the position of a merchant who is indebted to his creditors 30,0001.; he has 14,0001. at his banker's, and in his warehouses goods valued at 16,000/. He calls his creditors together, shows them the state of his affairs, and deploringly asks " How am I to pay you 30,000/. ?" The reply would be, " Sell your goods, and turn them into cash." So will the Bank of England be enabled to sell its " securities," and obtain cash to meet the 14,000,0001. of notes, should such a necessity arise; this is how the thirty millions of notes can be cashed. " Common Sense ' ought to know that a banker who holds securities equal to all demands upon him, although he has not at any one instant gold to pay every debtor, is no more insolvent than a merchant who has not cash to pay every debt, yet has merchandise in his possession which wi l l realise more money than will satisfy every demand upon him. " Common Sense" does not know the working of the New Bank Charter Bill ; he fancies if the depositors were to make a demand of 13 millions on the banking department, and the gold was not there, that it could be obtained from the issue departme without 13 millions of notes being presented. T at clerk from the banking department would not get five sovereigns from the issue department, if he did not . present a .5/. note for them, the same as one of the public. Whatever amount of bullion may be drawn by the depositors from the banking department, will have no effect whatever on the amount of bullion held by the issue department, without the banking department presenting notes to the issue department for the value of every sovereign that may be required. I am, Sir, yours, Ike, R. W. D. Ilfracombe, June 29th, 1844. DETERMINED SUICIDE BY SUFFOCATION.--On Fri day Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the George and Dragon, Buckingham-place, Fitzroy-square, on the body of Mr. King, aged 2 , 1, pianoforte-maker. Mr. Thomas Dedwick, deceased's brother-in-law, deposed that be was a pianoforte maker, and that the deceased lived and worked with him. During the last twelve months, deceased suffered greatly from ill health and depression of spirits. About two months ago deceased was greatly affected at seeing a female, to whom he was attached, walking with "anothex man, and from that period he was in a very melancholy state of mind. Last Tuesday he was very silent, and supped with witness at ten o'clo& at night, scarcely•,speaking a word. They retired at twelve o'clock. On the following morning, witness finding the door of the water-closet faa tencil, had it forcod'open, when he found deceased crouched up in the water-closet quite dead, with a panier of charcoal burning on the floor. So resolved was he upon self-destruc tion, that be pasted paper over every cranny and crevice of the closet, to prevent the escape of the poisonous gas of the charcoal. His left arm and side were burned by the flame's of the charcoal tire. Mr. Proctor corroborated this witness's evidence. From other statements it appeared that the de ceased had cut the paper in strips with which he.coirered the crannies, and made the paste for fixing them on in the work shop. While so engaged, be joined in several songs, with the workmen, one of whom having said that he would go to Gravesend on Sunday next, he said, " I, too, will be at Gravesend pn that day."
