In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the Assured have the security of the Company's income of nearly £60,000 per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and other available securities, of considerably larger amount than the estimated liabilities of the Company. The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits. One-third of " WhOle Term" Premium may remain unpaid at 5 per cent. compound interest, as a debt upon the policy for life, or may be paid off at any time without notice. In Assurances for Advances of Nloney, as security for debts or as a provision for a family, when the least present outlay is desirable, the varied and comprehensive tables of the Arhus Office will be found to be particularly favourable to the Assured.

The BOARD of SUPERINTENDENCE of the" HALL of COMMERCE" take leave to draw your attention to this Institution. It has been built and established at a very great cost, by a .ingle individual, for the convenience of the Commercial Com munity of the City of London, with a degree of public spirit worthy the metropolis of the world. The subscription' is now planed on so moderate a scale as to to no object of consideration, in proportion to the conveniences offered, which are set forth in the above Prospectus ; and the Board are of opinion, that without interfering with any of the existing establishments appropriated to specific branches of trade, these conveniences may be found available by a very large body of persons in the City of London—by parties visiting endow occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen from the Continent and other foreign ports.

ADVERTISER.—The Complete Suffrage movement is making rapid, though comparatively silent progress. Everywhere it is hourly re ceiving the adhesion of new friends. Persons who a few years ago—in some cases so late as a few months—treated the idea of the extended electoral rights for which the Complete Suffrag ists arc contending, with the utmost scorn, are now numbered among its warmest friends. The Complete Suffrage feeling is, indeed, spread ing throughout the country with a rapidity which has seldom been paralleled. Twelve months more of the success which for the last year has attended the effbrts of its friends to propagate the great principle that every man untainted by crime has a right to the elective franchise, will compel the Legislature to meet the national wish, by con ceding a really national representation. We referred last week to the metropolitan efforts which are making to promote the cause of a full and fair representation of the people. We particularly alluded to the establishment of Complete Suffrage Associations in Finsbury and Southwark. These boroughs do not stand alone in the good work. The Tower Ham lets are taking an active part in extending the popular feeling in favour of complete suffrage. In that division of the metropolis there are two Associations, both of which have been in active operation for some time. The one em braces Hackney, Stoke Newington, &c.; the other embraces Whitechapel, Stepney, Wap ping, Shadwell, &c. This is well. But what are the other boroughs about ? Where is Maryle bone ? It used to be among the first of the metropolitan boroughs in every popular move ment. Its inactivity in the present case is a source of surprise as well as of disappointment to the friends of the people throughout the coun try. We know it is an aristocratic borough, but it is not more so than formerly. On all great questions like this the vestry of that borough were accustomed to take the lead. How shall we account for their present supineness? We leave it to themselves to answer the question. Then there is Westminster—for a long period the refuge of popular principles, when they were exiled from almost every other locality in Eng land. How happens it that we hear of no note of preparation in that city in reference to the complete suffrage movement? Has 'Westminster ceased to be " England's pride ?" It looks very much like it. Certain it is, that if it remain much longer in a state of inactivity, it will forfeit the liberal character it has enjoyed for more than half a century. We hope it will not incur this reproach. We trust that, ere long, the Crown and Anchor will become the scene of striking demonstrations in favour of that efficient representation of popular princi ples and popular interests for which it has so long been celebrated. Lambeth, too, is behind hand in the great movement. As yet we per ceive no symptoms of any demonstration in that borough. This is strange, for it is one of the most liberal and enlightened boroughs in the kingdom. There are many truly patriotic men in it—men remarkable for their earnestness, their sincerity, and their readiness to make self sacrifices for the cause of the people. All that is wanting to get up a powerful complete suffrage association in Lambeth, is that the first step should be taken by one or more men of note, in whom the unrepresented masses have confidence. Perhaps there is less room for surprise at the non-existence of a complete suffrage association in the City. And yet we see no reason why there should not be an association there. In no part of London, perhaps in no part of time coun try, have really Liberal principles made more marked progress of late than in the City. Witness the triumph of Liberalism in the person of Mr. Pattison, under the most unpromising cir cumstances in which an election contest was ever fought. In the City there are many choice spi rits. All that is ivanting, to make their voice effectually heard in favour of a complete repre sentation of the people is, organisation and unity of action. We are aware that on several occa sions within the last twelve months, meetings have been held with the view of promoting the principles of complete suffrage ; but these have been for the most part thinly attended. Besides, occasional meetings never contribute in any con siderable degree to promote an important cause. Great questions have always been carried by an organised and systematic course of action being brought to bear in their favour. What we want to see is the example of Finsbury, the Tower Hamlets, and Southwark, followed by all the other districts of London. We want to see each borough establishing one or more complete suf frage associations. Mr. Joseph Sturge and se veral other distinguished friends of a perfect re presentation of the people, are to visit the me tropolis in ten days or a fortnight, for the pur pose of advocating the complete suffrage cause, and also of directing public attention to Mr. Sharman Crawford's project for stopping the supplies. We trust one of the results of the visit will be the formation of complete suffrage asso ciations in all the metropolitan boroughs in which they do not already exist. TIMES.—We feel it our duty to call attention to a case of murder which was lately tried at the Liverpool Assizes, and has left five men under sentence of death. It appears to have been just one of those cases of fatal collision between poachers and gamekeepers which have so often appeared in our assize calendars. A party of poachers proceeded to the Earl of Derby's pre serves at Knowsley, and found themselves con fronted by some of the Earl's gamekeepers. It was before daybreak, and hardly light; shouts and threats were exchanged on each side. One of the poachers (Roberts) fired, and killed one of the gamekeepers (Kenyon). For this murder he and four others, who were of the poaching party at the time, and are therefore by the construc tion of the law participators in the crime, now lie under sentence of death. Now, we are not going to thrown one palliating shade over a case like this. It would be inconsistent with what we have all along said upon such subjects to do so. We have oftener had rather to take the very con trary part, and animadvert upon the extreme leniency and softness which has been shown in our courts of justice to cases of outrage _and violence. Again and again has the ruffian, whose act has really come so near murder that it would be scarcely possible to draw time distinction, and who, at any rate, has shown all the animus and brutality of the murderer, escaped with some few months' imprisonment, while the miserable half-famished purloiner of a bit of bread or a bit of bacon has had his seven years' transportation. It is on this very account, and following up this opinion, that we take the view we do of this case at Liverpool. We say we do not see in the whole aspect of this trial any sign of its having been really conducted upon that genuine simple prin ciple of abhorrence for bloodshed, which ought to be always the mainspring of a trial for mur der. Our courts, we repeat, have for years dallied with ruffianship and brutality, and the hatred of the crime for its own sake seems very much to have left us. It is only as it interferes with the rights of property, and attacks our pocket and purses, that we treat it with the severity that is due. There is, if appearances do not very much mislead us, a good deal of this mixture of feeling at the bottom of the Knowsley trial. It is impossible to help more than half suspecting that the case that might have figured as a mere fatal outrage, and dropped down into man slaughter and some six months' imprisonment, or, at the most, a transportable affair, under other circumstances, has gained criminality from its ominous connexion with preserves, and that the poacher t - ,?ives the judicial stroke to the mur derer. We may be wrong, but we cannot help thinking that policy and expediency supply more than half the substance of our march-of-mind disapprobation of murder; and that the ob ject of smoothing one or other difficulty in the civil system, and protection of this or that in W rest, furnish modern law with its most grave and- retributive feelings on the subject. There is an I awkward appearance about the fact of joining the other four prisoners who did not fire with the one who did, and bringing all under one head, as this trial does. We know the law implicates the whole of such a party in the crime of any one of them ; but it is obvious that there must be immense hardship often in enforcing such a rule literally. A party of poachers are not ne cessarily men of exactly equal amounts of men tal villany and hardihood; they agree in the act of poaching, but one may be far more of a thief or a murderer than another. They are not pre pared all of them for equal development of atro city. The greatest ruffian fires, and kills, per. haps ; others abstain from firing, because they were not ruffians to the same extent. If such should be the case—and it is fair to give per sons the most favourable construction of their out ward behaviour—to lay hold of the common ground of poaching, and hang them all with - out distinction, because, though one fired and another did - not, all poached alike, and you have them there—such a judicial course - goes very far to make murder and poaching. parallel offences. The old stoic Maxim of the equality of crimes seems to have a chance of reviving again, and transportation, imprison meat, the lunatic asylum, and the halter, will be distributed from our Courts according to some system of metropolitan police and gendarmes justice, and with reference to some changine• centre of expediency, that has as little to do with Christian principle or natural law as the rules of free trade or the manoeuvres of a field of battle. What we mean is, let there be fair play. There are four men who, at any rate, are not chargeable with the literal crime of murder. They may be lawless, headstrong ruffians, and their outrage may deserve in itself, and ab stractedly, or morally considered, any amount of punishment —even the gallows. Still, what is the standard of punishment on which we have prac tically been goina.? Only the other day a man named Stoller was convicted of stab bing his fellow-workman -so as to cause his death. There is, really, very little difference between his crime and that of the actual mur derer of Kenyon • and with that of the four who did not fire at Kenyon it stands in an actually unfavourable comparison. Stolzer, however, was reprieved. Or what do we say to Mac naughten ? That was a case indeed of insanity, if we are to believe the mad doctors, of unac countableness in the individual, not of pardon ableness in the crime. But, with all deference to their insanityship, we must say his was the oddest kind of insanity to excuse a crime that the world ever heard. And, although we cannot undertake to say that the poachers at Knowsley can reap the primary benefit of it, or claim the privilege of an hallucination with re spect to all distinctions of day or night, and shooting as poachers and as licensed gentlemen, and between Knowsley and Australia or any other place where people may shoot as they please—still, a thoroughly lax and indulgent sentence as that was toward Macnaugh ten, would come into odd comparison with the present Liverpool verdict (it it is to be carried into effect)—by which four men who have committed no external act of murder arc left for execution. It goes against our feelings to seem at all to be glossing over a crime of such an atrocious and ruffianly character as that just perpetrated. We think an abhorrence of such crimes, and a dispo sition to visit them with the very worst conse quences, are inherent in a proper state of moral and social feeling. All we say is; let crimes be punished as the crimes that they are, and not as other crimes; let murder be hanged as murder, and not as poaching; and if we lose the sharp ness of our mare' disgust at such offences, and take to laxity and leniency, then let one man. have the benefit of it as well as another. We like a deep and an equal system of justice; but if our justice loses its depth, let it, at any rate, retain its equality. GLOBE.—It is certainly the most extra ordinary fallacy that ever was sought to be palmed on the British public, that colonial trade is our all-sufficient, nay, even our sole profitable export trade; and- that conveyance en masse of labourers " to a wilderness, as valueless as the wave which broke on its shore," is the true and infallible recipe for disposal and em ployment of our people. 'Why should the word colony thus exclusively fascinate our views of commerce? What is a colony? Is it a place whose inhabitants are only permitted to trade with us ? This was what we tried to make our American colonies in the last century. We prohibited them from exporting wool, or woollen manufactures, on the penalty - a'f the loss of the ship employed, the goods found, and five hundred pounds in money besides. An Act was passed in 1732, forbidding the sending to foreign countries by land or water carriage of any hats made in the colonies, and fixing the numbers of apprentices that master-hatters might employ. An Act was passed in 1730, declaring colonial iron-mills and forges to be " nuisances," and as such, to be ° abated." The North American Review observes, that " it may be, that this ex treme care of the six furnaces and nineteen forges, then possessed by New England, was necessary ; but as Old England was un able to furnish for export, as far down us the year 1767, more than eleven thousand tons of iron annually, Americans of the pre sent day can imagine some little excuse for the vary grave offence of making at home what could hardly be procured abroad." The North Ame rican Review points out what is worth remark ing, that the rupture between England and her colonies appears to have, in reality, arisen from a question of commerce, quite as much as of taxation. " There is very fair reason to believe that threepence in tire pound was resisted as much from the apprehended loss of the colonial tea•trade with the Dutch—carried on in contravention of the laws of navigation and trade—as from any other cause. The value of the tea consumed in all the colonies was set at three hundred thousand pounds sterling annually. The English East India Company, backed by the Ministry, grasped at a monopoly of the supply ; and the change of policy which reduced the duty from is. to 3d. would have enabled them to obtain it; inasmuch as their tea could then be afforded at as low a price as the smuggled, and was considered better." It grieves us much to reduce " A glorious revolu tion" to a sort of Peel-Tariff squabble; a squab ble resulting from something very similar to the late partial lowering of the coffee duties. Such however is the American Reviewer's account of its origin; and strange surely is the passion of restriction, wherewith we have infected our oldest colonists, when we find this very American Reviewer almost recommending the revival of the old navigation-laws system against us, by enforcing which we lost our colo nies. So infectious—so vivacious—is the selfish spirit which promptsanti-commercial policy. The North American Review has got a notion that England rather than America, has profited by abandoning the navigation-laws. "In the opinion of men of no mean sagacity, its operation [that of the Treaty of the 3d July, 1815,] has proved more beneficial to the shipping of Eng land than to our own; but had it included the same stipulations for our free add permanent trade with the British possessions in the Western He misphere that it does for intercourse with the ter. ritories of the Crown in Europe and Asia,we might be satisfied with it." Much good indignation is wasted by the American Reviewer at the re maining restrictions on trade with our colonies; and not till he has exhaled it all, does he vouch safe to admit that " the new tariff of Sir R. Peel shows that this inequality is no longer to exist; but its termination makes no compensation for the past (! !), nor have we any pledge that the former system will not be renewed.?" 'Cool that from an organ of a people who have just been barring out a moiety of our exports. Our present colonial policy appears to be reversed from that of the last century. Instead of attempt ing, to compel our colonists to submit to have everything scarce and dear wherewith we did not happen to be able to supply them cheaply and plentifully, we are taking precisely that same asinine burthen on ourselves for their benefit. And so far from enforcing on them reciprocal treatment °four products, we allow them to import foreign manufactures at lower duties than Canada levies on ours. We allow Jamaica to have A merican provisions at far lower rates than she claps on Irish ones !—and we allow the West Indians cheap foreign sugar, in requital for their starving our market with scarce and dear supplies of that of colonial growth. In Canada, the Morning He rald stated the other day, " the Crown has sur rendered itsinheritance, the wastelands, to the dis posal and control of the Provincial Legislature; the mothercountry has guaranteed a loan of one mil lion and a half, to complete those public works ne cessary to the development of the colony's great resources; the Imperial Parliament has lowered the Customs' duties which it levied in Canadian ports, has reduced the import duties collected at home on the staple productions of the province— wool and grain —to mere droits de balance, and has given its sanction to the policy enunciated by the Chief Minister of the Crown, that hence forth Canada must be treated as an integral portion of the empire."

Well done there is nothing can yield more delight, Or present on the board a more beautiful sight, Than the scene which fam'd Harlequin quickly discloses, When he touches the wonderful mart of the MOSES'. Nay, there's noth:ng can rival what thus has been done, Save the Actual houses of MOSES and SON ; These, of course, are the greatest, though Harlequin's wand, Shows changes of whic h we may justly te fond, The Original wonders ca n f ar more engage Thanall ama echo ical pantomime" s h own on t h e stage. Then would wish to behold our display, Come and visit our warehouse without any pay. Though Harlequin acts a most wonderful part, Quite as strange transformations are seen at our Mart. Here numbers of people are eloth'd ev'ry minute, Till you'd fancy that Harlequin really was in it. Now doubt not Our statements, we'll prove ev'ry one, If you pay but a visit to MOSES and SON.

How can it be otherwise? Are they not lisping our own lessons after us ? Are we not setting up amongst them precisely that machinery of jealous regulation+ which, if they once acquire a taste for, they will turn one day against ourselves! STANDARD.—The Irish State trials natu rally enough occupy the attention of our Con temporaries; we have copied from the Times an able article upon this subject, against one pas sage of which article we must respectfully offer a protest. The passage to which we allude is - • the following ;—" Why, these Irish func- , tionaries cannot so much as get a jury-- together ; a simple process one might ima gine, under the guidance of a direct Act of Parliament, without subjecting them selves to a challenge of the whole array." Now, in justice to 4 ‘ Irish functionaries," it must be said that neither can English functionaries - so much as get a jury together, &c. &c. &c., " without subjecting themselves to a chal lenge of the whole array." The right of chal lenge to the array is the same in both coun tries, if men are so profligately impudent as to make challenges which they cannot sustain ; the only difference is that in England men will not make such groundless challenges, merely ad captanduin; in Ireland, they do make them. Surely, our Contemporary must have seen in the proceedings in this case up to the present time, enough to satisfy the most scrupulous that soli citors of the repeal class will do things in Ire land, to which the least respectable members of the profession in England would scorn to descend ; or, to use our Contemporary's strong language, such things as " the most foul-mouthed igno ramus of an English pettifogger would not venture upon." And having seen those timings our Contemporary ought to have hesitated to be lieve, that" the array" of the Dublin panel was justly challengeable, merely because suchaperson as Mr. Peirce Mahony threatened to challenge it; but if the array is not justly challenge able what becomes of the censure of the Irish functionaries 'I Whether Mr. Pierce Mahony will proceed a step further in fulfilment of his threat, we of course cannot pretend to gUess. The, must we say it, culpable facility of the Irish Court of Queen's Bench in receiving frivolous objections, no doubt holds out to him encouragement to employ every artifice of delay, and we cannot help adding that the facility of some of the English jour nals to adopt and to exaggerate every charge of neglect or blundering made against " the Irish functionaries," holds out still stronger encou ragement. In the matter of the special jury panel, the Irish Attorney-General has nothing to do; it would be, indeed, a grave crime on his part to touch it up to the day of striking the reduced list. The Clerk of the Crown has as little to do with the panel as the Attorney -Ge neral, and we have the happiness to know that a more able, upright, or high-minded public servant does not live in her Majesty's domi nions than the gentleman who fills that office in Ireland. Mr. Bourne, the Clerk of the Crown, receives the list front the High Sheriff, who is a very honourable man, and, we believe, a Liberal in politics, and the High She riff receives it from the Recorder, the well known Mr. Shaw, a person whom nobody will suspect ofcompromising imitnsel f in order to accom modate Sir Robert Peel's Government. Where, then, has been the blundering or the dishonesty which can afford grounds for challenging the array ? We at least require something more than the dictum of Mr. Pierce Mahony, however positive, for admitting that the array is justly challengeable. Capriciously, vexatiously, or fraudulently, no doubt any array can be chal lenged, but this is an inconvenience that has place in England as well as in Ireland ; an in convenience against which no care, or skill, or vigilance on the part of functionaries can guard. IRELAND. TIIE STATE PROSECUTIONS. Du aLIN, JAN. 7.—The Orange advisers of the Irish Go vernment have taken a fatal step in striking off the name of every Roman Catholic from the special jury list. At first those eleven Roman Catholics, and the single non-politi ca l Protes tant who was excluded along with them, were set down by the Orange and Government press as " Radicals.'' But, even if they were Radicals, they would not, necessarily, be disquali fied from serving on a jury. It was found necessary, there fore, to devise some more plausible - pretext for the. removal of 'every Roman" Catholic from the panel. Accordingly, the Evening Packet of last niglA received instructions from the Castle to describe them as " Repealers." There is no evidence whatever of this, even if the fact could be relied upon as a jus tification of the conduct of the Crown. At the striking of the jury, not a syllable on the subject was uttered either by the Counsel of the Government (Mr. Brewster), or the Clerk of the Crown (Mr. Kemmis). As each Roman Catholic name was struck off, Mr. Cantwell, one of the agents of the tra versers, publicly declared that ho was so struck off as a Roman Catholic. The fact was not denied. How could it be denied? The truth is, that the objection about Repealers was an atter thought, when the functionaries at the Castle discovered the fatal error into which their zeal had betrayed them. But suppose that some, or even all of the Roman Cathplies, were Repealers,_ what right would the C r own officer, acting on behalf of the Government of the country, have to start su:h an objection? How could he have had evidence of the fact, even if there were law to disqualify a Repealer from serving on a jury ? If a foreigner or an alien is to be tried on a criminal charge, the British law gives him the right to place six fo reigners upon his jury. Here Roman Catholics, seven laymen and one clergyman (the second clergyman indicted has sunk into the grave), are to be tried on a criminal charge, and every Roman Catholic name drawn out of the ballot-box has been struck out of the jury list by the officers of the Government ! Mark you, this was a special jury list of forty-eight names, selected from seven hundred, all perfectly eligible, unless some legal objection could be sus:ained against the adjudication of the Recorder upon the revision. If political opinion as a Re pealer were a disqualification, it should have been urged before the Recorder. It was not started then, nor was it urged at the ballot. If the Crown officers were determined to strike off Repealers—supposing them to have been such—they should have kept them off the panel altogether. As it is, the defend ants have not had a fair chance of a jury list of forty-eight, inasmuch as Repealers are declared to be disqualified from serving on a jury. It may be asked, did the Crown oounsel and solicitor, whilst they held an inquisition respecting Repealers and Roman Ca tholics, take any steps to ascertain how many of those they left on the jury list belong to the Orange Association? But, as already observed, the objection about repeal was a mere after-thought. The naked fact before the empire—before Europe—is this, that every Roman Catholic, without cause as signed, was struck off the jury by the agents of the Govern ment. Sir Robert. Peel is very plausible; but this damning fact, not all his sophistry can explain away. The Dublin Evening Post, of last night, contains the fol lowing announcement "AGGREGATE MEETING OF THE ROMAN CATHOLICS OF IRELAND.—Who would have imagined that it would become necessary, fourteen years after the Catholic Relief Bill had be come the law of the land—that the Catholies of Ireland would find themselves coerced into an aggregate meeting, for the pur pose of denouncing the grievous wrong and the gross insult offered to them by the Crown, on the recent occasion of re ducing the special jury ? Thanks, however, to our wise Go• vernmcnt—to those eminently practical' men who have the mismanagement of oar affairs—this has happened. The re quisition will appear in the course of the next week ; but pre viously, we would call on every Roman Catholic gentleman in Ireland, who can conveniently leave home, to hold himself in readiness. We shall, on Tuesday, speak more at large on this most important movement." EJECTION OF TENANTRY. The Limerick Chronicle says:—" Aictinesday last, William Smith, Esq., sub-Sheriff. with the aid of police, and a party of the 61st, from Hathkeale, dispossessed, under haberc, a family of the name of Ahern, on the estate of Mr. Conyers, of Castletown, and immediately after he had withdrawn his force the country people rushed on the premises, broke the locks, and re-took possession in view of the civil and military authorities." Lord Cardigan► will resume the command of the 11th Hussars, in Dublin, on the 15th inst , the day of Mr. O'Connell's trial. General Lord Bloomfield only stopped two days at his seat, Laughton, King's county. His Lordship has permitted his out. offices to be appropriated for a detachment of cavalry to be stationed there. The remains of Lord Grey's grandson, who died a midship man on board the Fox frigate, were interred at Tarbert church with naval honours, The Earl of Clare left. Mountshannon on Friday for Ballytin, the seat of Sir Charles Coote, M.P., thence to Carton, the re sidence of the Duke of Leinster, and afterwards to Dublin, ou a visit to his Excellency Lord De Grey. The Landlord and Tenant Commission is to resume its labours to-morrow at Dublin Castle. BRUTAL OUTRAGE BY THE MARINES UPON SOME SAILORS. —These disgraceful and brutal outrages are still con• tinued nightly by these ruffians, in military garb, who thereby keep Woolwich in the greatest state of excitement possible. On Sunday night the marines more infuriated, if possible, rushed into the public-houses along High-street, declaring they would murder all that opposed, and in one house, the Duke on Horseback, a poor fellow of a sailor Lad to make a precipi tate retreat up a place called the " Gardens," foilowed by about a dozen of his cowardly assailants, the civilians assembled not liking to interfere, from the fear of receiving some injury from their brutal and ruffianly conduct. So great was the riot that a military officer with an orderly was seen opposite the door of the Duke on Horseback, who, upon being seen by the soldiers, they ran away, but not before threa'ening to strike Mr. Clifford, the Inspector, and Mr. Watts, a parish-constable, which they would have cirried into effect, had not police-constable Walker, 293 R, been there and seen their cowardly intention, and took one of the fellows to the station-house, whom they dared not rescue, knowing him to be a most powerful and determined man, that would teach them better. Monday night a similar scene was fully expected, but happily did not take place, an-I it is to hoped will not again, as it not only causes a stagnation of tr:ade, but prevents the inhabitants leaving their homes, for fear of encountering such brutal and unmanly ruffians, and perhaps being injured for life. DRUNKENNESS.—Young men are generally intro duced to this vice by the company they keep • but do you care.. fully guard against ever submitting _yeu e r n se:lf to be the com panion of low, vulgar, and dissipated m , and hold it as a maxim, you had better be alone than in mean company. Let your companions be such as yourself, or superior ; for the w orth of a man will always be ratedby that of his company. You do not find pigeons asso ciate wi th haw ks, or lambs with bears; and it is unnatural for a moral man to be the com. panioh of blackguards. 1.4 1;0,4
