Empowered by Act of Parliament. _ . _ The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums withont ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus aceording to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT—Two LIVES LOST.—On Sunday last, between twelve and one o'clock, the following fatal accident occurred on the river Thames, between Tilbury Fort and Gravesend. The ferry-boat belonging to Mr. Creed, of the 'World's End Ferry, Tilbury Fort, left the jetty at the latter place in the charge of two men, named Bailey and Howard, having two passengers. The sail was made fast, and a sudden squall upset the boat about three quarters of a mile from shore. The accident was observed on shore, 'and the boatmen of Gravesend vied with each other in their efforts to reach the spot, but before any assist ance could be afforded, Bailey and Howard, who were dressed in fishermen's heavy boots and linen petticoat-trou sers, were seen to relax their hold of the boat and sink, The passengers were, however, taken up, but in an exhausted state, and conveyed to the Three llaws public-house, at Gravesend, where every attention was paid them, but only faint hopes are entertained of their recovery. The tide was running up strong at the time of the accident. Both the men drowned were inhabitants of Gravesend and married, Bailey I , :wring a wife at present in her confinement, and three chil dren wholly unprovided for. The bodies of the drowned men were not recovered last evening. Last week, George Ritford and John Nixon were drowned in one of the Lead Company's mines at Middleton in-Teesdale, by the river Tees suddenly rushing in upon them, while at work. The former has left a wife and nine children, and the latter an aged mother, of whom he was the chief support, to lament their loss. HER MAJESTY'S DRAWING ROOM.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TUB MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. POST.—Sir Jetties Graham is commonly remarkable for the clearness—if not for the consistency—of his public state ments. The strange vagueness, therefore, of his various ex planations last night, in . reference to the future conduct of. the Government on the Factory Bill, almost induces us to suspect that there was a design, on the part of the Right Hon. Gen tleman, to leave the matter as unintelligible as possible. He has been so far successful that, as well as we can discover, the Bill he proposes to withdraw will only differ from its suc cessor in one point, which practically involves no difference at all. The present Bill limits the period of daily labour for adult females to twelve hours; the new one is to provide that they shall not work more than twelve hours in the day. Does any body who knows the millowners suppose for a moment that they will permit the poor women to work less than twelve hours? In fact, then, the future, like the present, mea sure, will be neither more nor less than a Twelve Hours'Bill ; • and we earnestly call upon that majority of the - House of Commons which has already affirmed the ten hours' principle, to remain firm to their vote of last Monday. The sort of subterfuge now attempted ought to convince gentlemen that they have no security except in a constant and vigilant at tention to every clause of the Bill, and to the proceedings in all its stages. To some Hon. Members we are proud to think we might safely appeal on the ground of humanity ; to all we would urge the policy of avoiding the frightful evils that may arise throughout the manufacturing districts from that "hope deferred which maketh the heart sick." The House of Com mons has declared by a majority that the Christian slaves shall hare a sixth part of their labour remitted to them ; they must be " bold bad men," who would venture hereafter to vote for the revocation of the edict that has now for seven days gladdened the victims of our factory system. CHRONICLE.—It is the intention of Ministers to with draw the Factory Bill—if they can, or to resign, if they cannot. Such was the substance of the communication made by Sir James Graham last night to the House of Commons, and reserved till the end of a somewhat long, but very able speech, in which he coolly discussed the different courses which :the Government might pursue, while most of his hearers were suppressing, as well as they could, their impa tience to learn that which had been adopted. It was ex pected by many that a compromise of eleven hours would have been proposed. Sir James Graham argued forcibly, that such a compromise would be full of peril to our manu facturing system, and at the same time that it would not satisfy the advo ca t es o f s h or t h ours o f wor k, or se ttl e th e great question at is sue . A com p rom i se b e i ng re j ec t e d, no thing rem a i ne d b ut to w i t h draw the Bill. To break this heavy fall, howev er , Si r J ames announce d t h at i n t h e event obtainingof Bill world leav e itr 0 to it ewithdrawed embodying the certain present amendmentsßi l, a new of the Factory Law on which there is no difference of opinion. There was every reason why the language of a Minister who had to make a statement like this, should have been conciliatory and temperate in the extreme. Nature, however, will break out, and the Secretary for the Home De partment did not hesitate, in the presence of Lord Ashley and of not a few of Lord Ashley's majority, to adopt the strong and pungent, but offensive, expression of a weekly contem porary (the Examiner), and say, that he saw in the success of that Noble Lord's motion the commencement of "a ' Jack Cade' system of legislation." A warm and inlignant remon strance from Lord Ashley did not draw from Sir James Gra- I ham any retractation or explanation of this Parliamentarily " untoward" phrase. With regard to the course proposed to be taken by the Government, Lord Ashley declared that he was not then prepared to give an opinion ; but he appealed to the House to stand by its repeatei decisions in favour of some less amount of labour than twelve hours ; and Lord Howick announced that he would resist the motion for leave to withdraw the Bill. That motion will be made on Friday next. Meanwhile the situation of the Government is most extraordinary. It has taken its stand on a position of decided hostility to a majority of the House of Commons. The House has repeatedly de clared that the labour of women and young persons in fac tories ought to be regulated, and that the hours of work should be less than twelve. In the face of these determine tions Ministers announce that they have resolved to abstain from any further attempt to regulate the hours of labour, and to resist to the utmost any proposal for the reduction of those hours. This attitude of the Government, with regard to the House of Commons, is significant enough. It is a declaration to the majority that a question, already decided upon its merits, shall be reconsidered under a sort of Parlia mentary duress. " Twice you have decided," says Sir James Graham, to the House of Commons, " upon principle, that the Government is wrong. Repeat that decision on Friday, and Ministers will resign." It is not difficult to foresee the result. The whip will be applied with better effect than it was last week. Sir Thomas Fremantle's threat of resignation will be believed by those who only laughed when he talked of danger to the corn-laws. Ministers will have their majo rity, and Lord Ashley's clause go back for renewed and fiercer agitation to the towns. As respects the important question at issue, it could not be disposed of in a more unsatisfactory way. The success of Sir James Graham's motion will be the success merely of the Minister, and not of the principle upon which lie stakes his Ministerial existence. This posi tion of Ministers, however, deeply humiliating as it is, is a striking example of that moral retribution which, sooner or later, overtakes unprincipled politicians. The political power, which was acquired by factious means, deserts them when they intend to act honestly. They stimulated and encou raged a bigoted opposition to every liberal principle of edu cation, and the feeling so excited amongst their supporters disabled them from framing the only kind of education scheme suited to the wants of the time. They obtained office by an agitation in support of monopoly, and the neces sity of not offending the adherents of the corn-laws is now the barrier to a real settlement of the factory question. Thus, Ministers are wholly powerless in a matter which they re garded as vitally important. They are deeply convinced that the hours of labour for women and children ought to be re gulated and limited, but they are, by their own avowal, too weak to propose what they think right. Such a position is not a becoming one for the Government of this country to occupy. It is a derangement of our constitutional system which ought to be corrected. TIMES.—" The effect of these various divisions," said the Home Secretary last night, " as the Bill now stands, has been to involve the measure in inextricable confusion." Seldom have we heard a confession so naïve and so true. The speaker had himself, of his own motion and suggestion, attempted to force the House of Commons to affirm in one week two contradictory propositions. On Monday the House had vir tually resolved, as was admitted by Sir James himself, that women and young persons should not be allowed to work in ' factories more than ten hours a day. After the brief interval of four days, it found itself required to cat its own words, and vote that twelve hours' daily labour was allowable. This was rather sharp practice. The operations of facing about and wheeling round are easy enough on parade ; they may be seen accomplished very expeditiously at the Horse-Guards, but five minutes' walk to the House of Commons brings one to a very different and far more intractable region. Decency alone re quires therea longer delay. The result was that, though the Ministerial word of command did tell extensively, and though just round the person of the commander-in-chief there was tolerable order and discipline, yet mutiny and confusion prevailed throughout the field. The house was " demo ralised." It was called on to pronounce its judgment and renounce its judgment, to act independently and subserviently 'in one and the same act, to be the House of Commons and Sir James Graham, to pour forth sweet and bitter, blow hot and cold, say yea and nay, to go backwards and forwards, all at the same time. This it could not do, or, at least, did not do. What it did do is not so clear, as the only result was, as Sir James confesses, inextricable confusion. The House will be readily excused by all considerate persons, on the ground of the novelty and strangeness of the circumstances in which it was placed. We have only heard of one instance at all parallel, and that is the case of the unfortunate man in the " Diary of a Physician," who woke one morning under the singular persuasion that a violent gust of wind (Palace-yard is a particularly windy locality) had twisted his head backwards. His attempts to carry out this unplea . - sant hypothesis involved him in great difficulties and some very false positions. It was at breakfast, if we remember right, that the physician first saw the poor creature under this delusion. He was then sitting with his back to the table, twisting round occasionally with the most excruciating efforts to the tea and muffins. The tails of his coat adorned his knees, and the lappels his shoulder blades. The nape of his neck was graced by a very neat tie, which, it appeared, had been by far the greatestdifficulty entailed by his disaster. As soon as the door was opened he backed out of his chair, and retrograded up to the physician, with whom he shook hands a tergo, as the Parthians used to shoot their arrows. There was a good deal more, which will readily suggest itself, if not to our readers in general, at least to any Member of the House of Commons present at the two divisions last Friday. Deeply are we concerned at the perplexity of the House. It is impossible not to smile, but serious considera tions present themselves. This rotatory movement of opinion is both undignified and dangerous. The House won't bear such twisting. The confessed author of all this confusion, whose own whip had set the House a.spi 'nning, did his best to fight his own way out of the eddy. In both narrative and argument he was last night most laboriously explicit. He opened with a history of all the ins and outs, evidently the result of a strong mental effort ; and as much required for the clearing of his own understanding as for that of the House. The finale of this history was, as above mentioned, " inextricable confusion"—allof the Right Hon. Baronet's an making. He then divided into three heads the field of operas tions open to the Ministry. The first alternative was a com promise, say eleven hours a day. This he rejected for two very good and sufficient reasons ; first, that he would not agree to it himself ; secondly, that Lord Ashley would not. The second course was to throw up the Bill altogether, and leave Lord Ashley to bring in another if he liked. This would not do. There was every probability that Lord Ash ley would like to bring in a Bill, in which case all the tron- • ble would come over again; and it was evident that Minis ters had already left too much to Lord Ashley, so that they would not mend matters by leaving to him the whole Bill. The third course, and that actually adopted, is a very sum • pie one, and might have been stated without any reference to other alternatives ; it is, to make another push for the 12 hours' clause under the technical form of a new Bill, which is to be done next Friday. EXTRAORDINARY LAND-SLlP.—DUring the night of Friday last an unusual and remarkable occurrence took place on Claston estate, in the parish of Dormington, the property of Edward Foley, Esq., of Stoke Edith-park. A large piece of land, consisting of more than three acres of rock and earth, with forty oak trees, slipped down Dadnor's-hill, a distance of 200 yards, into the valley beneath, and now presents a very curious appearance, the projected masses of rock forming fantastic shapes of caverns, Sze., and some of the trees remaining upright, as if growing. The whole scene is well worthy of inspection. From the ground, cracking, &c., there had 'been previous indication of the coining " slip," and no doubt the wet weather hastened the result. The damage occasioned by the occurrence is esti-. mated at 1501. The event has given rise to a. variety of alarming reports about an " earthquake," &c., but we have to state the real nature ofthe incident as above.—ilereford Times. EXAMPLES. Entry.

PROJECTED IMPROVEMENTS AT DOVER.—We un derstand that the Earl of Guilford, the noble proprietor of the Frith Farm, near the Castle, is about to apply to Parliament for a private Act to enable him to let a portion of the valley on lease for building purposes; and that plans for the erec tion of splendid terraces, said to be equal in design and mag nitude to .any in the kingdom, have been prepared, as also for detached villas; altogether, nearly 1,500 residences are contemplated to be formed on this delightful spot. It is also, we believe, part of the plan to make another outlet from the town, into the Deal road, pass the Castle Jetty, by which the Castle;hillinay be avoided, and the distance to Deal consider ably legsened. We hope to see the plans of the Noble Earl carried out, as we feel convinced it will prove a good specu lation.—Dover Telegraph. No. 17,004. acct, Westminster.-3farch 15, 1844.
