The Report and Statements as to the affairs of the Company submitted on this occasion were highly satisfactory to all connected with the Institution; and the Chairman, in an address to the Meet.. ing, directed particular attention to the following very gratifying results: — The number of Policies issued singly during the year is 562. The Assurances proposed to the Coinoany during the year exceed the large sum of HALF A MILLION STERLING—the Assurances effected being nearly 400,0001., adding from that source alone about 13,500/. per annum to the Company's revenue from Premiums. Large transactions have also been effected in other departments of the business. The Company's investments continued to be upheld at a high rate of interest on unexceptionable security, chiefly Government and Heritable, and notwithstanding the great increase of the Company's funds, the return secured still shows an advantage of nearly 2'. per cent. in favour of the Company above the rate calculated on in their Tables for Life Assurance. The number of lives which have fallen during the year amount! only to one per cent. on the number of the Assured standing on the books. AND, IN ADDITION TO THESE RESULTS, The Company have added, by an advantageous arrangement, 927 policies to their lists, through a transference of the business of the YORK AND LONDON ASSURANCE COMPANY. The Reports and Statements were unanimously approved of; and the Chairman, after drawing attention to the important posi tion which the Company now occupy among the Assurance Insti. tutions of this country, and the fact of the Company never having disputed or compromised a claim, concluded by congratu. lating all parties on the satisfactory results exhibited, and took the opportunity of calling attention to the important fact that the THIRD DIVISION of PROFITS among the Policy Holders was to take place in November, 1845. He was certain that the advan. tage of joining the Participation Scheme of the Company, before the balance was struck, would not be lost sight of by intending assurers, and he felt confident that there would be much reason for, further congratulation when they next met together.

The Government of Rio Janeiro has shown, in the proposals which it has recently made to England on this subject, a spirit of confidence and goodwill towards us which by no means verifies the sinister predictions of the Opposition as to Viscount d'Abrantes's mission. It is probable that tke ar rival of Mr. Gore Ouseley, who has recently been ap pointed. to succeed Mr. Mandeville as the Minister ac credited by Great Britain to the States of La Plata, will speedily remove the obstacles to trade on the river, es pecially when it is found that he is to be supported, if necessary, in the most effectual mariner by England, Brazil, and France. The intervention of England in these questions is not attracted by the internal vices of the South American Governments, but by the necessity of protecting our own mercantile interests there ; but, we trust, that in proportion as these Governments are im pressed with the necessity of remaining at peace, and of respecting the rights of foreign nations, they will also learn that they cannot aspire to the countenance and amity of England, or of any European Power, unless they acknowledge the laws of humanity, and observe, even towards their rivals, some show of moderation and justice. We employ no figure of speech when we say, that we are at a loss for words to convey to our readers any adequate conception of the barbarous acts im puted to the Argentine Government, that is, to Rosas, and his satellites Oribe, the Friar Aldao, and the club of the Masorqueros, a body of men ex pressly enrolled for the perpetration of the most san guinary crimes. It is true that at no very distant period the natural talents of Rosas, his resolution, and his apparent devotion to the interests of his country, inspired some Englishmen of station and character with a sort of respect for his government, and of indulgence for his earlier excesses. But that time is long since past, if we are to believe an hundredth part of the frightful catalogue of atrocities which we have now before us in the pages of the Tablas de Sangre , or " Tables o f Blood," and these f ac t s , t h oug h published by his ene mies, are many of them attested by eye-witnesses, whose evidence we have reason to believe. Since Rosas raised himself to the supreme power in 1835, down to the close of the year 1843, it has been computed by S enor In• darte, the author of these " Tables," that he, or his immediate followers, have put to death by poison four persons ; by cutting the throat, 3,765 ; by shooting, 1,393 ; by private assassination, 722 ; whilst in the murderous civil wars of the last ten years nearly 15,000 men have been slain, every battle being followed by a butchery of prisoners, and 1,600 captives or wounded men have been put to death by the lance. One of the first acts of Rosas, on the Bth of July, 1636, was to cause 110 Indians, who had been brought down from the Pampas, to be put to death, and in order to strike terror into the population of Buenos Ayres, they were taken out in dozens, and shot before all the people. Four of their chiefs were brought to the bar racks, where they had their throats cut, along with two little children I Every day brought with it some fresh atrocity in this calendar of bloodshed. We can only select one or two out of many hundred examples. The war and subsequent persecution of the party known as the" Unitarians," in opposition to Rosas, as the head of the Federalists, w as con d ucte d with unrelenting cruelty. " Death to the savage Unitarians" was his rallying cry and the test of allegiance to his person. A witness named Jose Ramos made oath, before 12 Commissioners assembled at Monte Video, that while he was with Rosa's army he saw many of the prisoners castrated before they had their throats cut, and that he knew an Englishman, whose name was William, who was mur dered, with a woman and child only seven years old. Similar massacres were common throughout the war. The word " Resbalosa" was invented by Roam to convey to his infernal agents, the Masorqueros, a particular mode of dispatching their victims. It meant that they were to be tied up naked, with their hands behind their backs, whilst the assassins cut their throats slowly with knives or a saw ; and this horrible torture was accompanied by a song made for the occa sion. The slightest trifles afforded a sufficient pretext for these monstrous cruelties, which partook rather of the amusements of cannibals than the known practices of wars or persecutions even in the most fanatical age. One man was shot in prison for wearing a fancy dress on his way to see his mistress ; another for having steered a Monte Videan barque ; in the month of Octo ber, 1842, the Masorqueros repaired every night to the city of Buenos Ayres from Rosas's camp, or rather Gol gotha, called the " Santos Lugarea," hard by the walls, to murder and pillage the inhabitants, no less than 400 of whom were slaughtered in their houses by these ruf fians in three weeks. In actual war these horrors were all redoubled. The taking of Catamarca by Mariano Mazy in 1842, when he made a pile of the heads of 600 of the inhabitants, beheaded in the market-place ; and the deeds without a name perpetrated by the Friar Aldao (another of Rosa's officers), as Governor of Men doza, baffle all description, and exceed the atrocities of the French Reign of Terror itself. But this Argentine Reign of Terror has been going on for eight years—it is still going on with the same fury, or, if checked, is only checked by the want of victims in a country where the population has already been decimated by these mis creants. We have said enough—perhaps too much— though we have only opened at random the frightful record in which these acts are enrolled. They are still, we repeat it, going on ; they are at this instant inflict ing pangs of torture and of grief of which the natives of this Christian land cannot in the worst hours of their extremest misery form more than a vague conception. These horrors have engendered a frightful indifference to human life and to all the ties which render s ociety sacred and secure. Th e c h aracter o f R osas is that of the race to which he belong s , an d h e i s pr o uder o than of the poli tical f' his reso. lotion and add ress among t h e G auc h os power he h as acqu i re d an d exercise d with such ruthless severity. It must _ _ _ be added, that the lives of even the best of his rivals have been equally disgraced by acts of unjustifiable treachery ery and violence, as, fo r shot the President Dor instance, when General Lavelle rego, after becoming his prisoner of war. But if th ere be in this man any quality above that of a me rc il ess ty rant, and if his past acts have been governed by a sys tem of policy, and not by the mere sanguinary passions ascribed to him by his enemies, it is well even for him that an end should be put to these depl ora bl e conflicts, and that the Governments of the Plata should be made to acknowledge, that where the mercantile interests of foreign states are sacrificed to incessant civil broils, those states must provide for the protection of the interests of their own subjects, and endeavour to restore that peace to the country which can alone render its internal go vernment respected and secure.

The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the whole Profits are divisible amongst the Policy Holders every three years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the Society, it may • be stated that the additions made to Policies have been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the. sum assured and on the vested bonus. Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,0001. effected on the Ist of March, 1832, will, if it become a claim during the present Year, be entitled to 1,2971.; or, if effected on or before the Ist March, 1833, to 1,2751., and so on as regards other Policies. The Accumulated Fund. exceeds 260,000/., and the Annual Revenue is above 70,0001.,,the whole being in a course of steady and increas ing prosperity. No other Life Assurance Institution whatever can warrantably hold out greater advantages to parties Assuring than this Society does. WILLIAM COOK, Agent for London. 61 A, Moorgate-Street.

DECLARATION OF THE GUARDIANS OF BRENT, IT DEvo N. AL SE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS. A SURE CURE FOR BAD LEGS. The following case has excited so much interest, that the Guardians of the parish of Brent, Devon, have considerel it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the .ndersignell, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ro bing, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person mig t have laid hi- fist in them); that before he had finished the first bottle he neticed an improvement, and that by continuing them ter some time, he got completely restored tee health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking " Haise's Scorbutic Drops,' and had prescriptions from the m ost ce l e b rated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," have co ..pletely cured him, and he is nuw enabled to attend to his labour as well as any lOU in otir parish. From ether cures else made In this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public.

The , Iree,lnentiened Thomas Robins was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking those Drops. Some of his wounds were so large that i: was moat awf u l to look a t them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were mo,t dreadful; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by passers by, both day and night, for elms was entirely out of the ques. tion. He was reduced to mere skin and bone, and daily continued to get weaker, so that there wa, every Probability of his speedy death.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIINE LAMPS, COLONIAL BANK. The fourteenth Half-yearly General Meeting of the Proprietors of the Colonial Bank was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, yesterday, at one o'clock, J. Colville, Esq., in the chair. The business was that of receiving the usual report of the Com pany, and a statement . of accounts respecting its affairs, and to elect Directors and an Auditor. There was a full attendance of Proprietors. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by calling on the Secretary to read the advertisement for the meeting, and the report. • The SECRETARY read this document, prefacing, it, however, by the statement of accounts above men tioned. The following are the details of it :—Denrs: Circulation, 182,6771. 7s. Gd.; Deposits and other liabilities, 438,0011.25.

Bd. The report commenced by stating that the Board of Directors still considered it proper to class-under the head of bad debts those which were doubtful, as well as those which had been - found to be bad. It stated, also, that the Directors felt compelled again to recommend the Proprietors to abstain from de claring a dividend, and to allow the amount of the profit made up to June, 1844, after the deduction of expenses, to be carried to the credit of the bad debt account. It occasioned the Directors much regret to have to renew this recommendation to the Pro prietors, but they felt persuaded, under their present circumstances, it would be the wisest course they could •piirsue. They trusted the period would soon arrive when they should feel justified in recom mending a portion of their profit to be applied to the payment of a dividend. The amount of their profit, though larger than in the preceding half-year, was still less than what the Directors anticipated when the sugar duties and other questions shall have been placed on a more satisfactory basis, which would enable them to extend the business of the corporation to a greater extent than they were able to do while these questions remained in a state of uncertainty. They continued to conduct -their affairs with extreme caution, which, though it restricted their profits, they considered necessary to safety. They thought it more desirable to realise a comparatively small profit, than to make apparently large gains, attended with extra ordinary risk. The Directors were happy to be able to say that the business of the Imlf-year just ended, up to the latest dates in their possession, was going on satisfactorily. The CuatamaN would not trouble the meeting with any observations in addition to the report, but at once move that it be received. Mr. LEVI was sorry to see the respectable Chair man, and so many gentlemen of high standing, as sembled at all on this occasion. He thought it would he far better if they would dissolve the Company, and let them all get something out of the wreck of their affairs. He was sorry to hear the Chairman, and such a man as Mr. Maxwell Stewart, brought toge ther on such a forlorn hope. If they had broken up, as he (Mr. Levi) had suggested last year, they might have secured 18/. a share ; he was sure, if they con tinued another year, they should not get' eighteen pence. He saw it would be,useless for him to make any motion, hut he again urged them, as the concern did not answer, to break it up. .It was merely kept going to pay people at hurtle and abrOad their salaries— men who never looked into the box for two years, and, when they did, found there were 12,0001. gone. . Mr: C. CAVE was entirely opposed to the views of the lion. Proprietor, which had been but faintly sup ported by gentlemen in other parts of the room. With those condemnatory remarks, in which he had rather hastily indulged, he had neither sympathy nor feeling ; and he was much mistaken if all the gentlemen present were not opposed to the opinions of Mr. Levi. Far from indulging in such gloomy anticipations, he thought there was much to console them in their position. lle admitted that their af fairs did not come up to what he had hoped, yet a little consideration removed much of that disappoint ment. They must recollect the state in which they had been, and from that they could not expect to rise at i d, oncehe thought a condition i twould be dangerous, of vitality and in it h e should see the seeds of future misfortune. He would rather pursue a slow and certain course, which would be likely to lead to the restoration of a moderate dividend and the permanent continuance of it. Very much of their present difficulties they owed to the large dividend heretofore declared in that room ; if it had been made less they would not have been in their present straitened condition. But it was the Proprietors who shared the benefit of that mistake, and they should not grumble so unmercifully as Mr. Levi had done at the present privation. They could not blame the Directors for what had been caused by the state of affairs in the West India colonies ; they had been disastrous, and the colonies had had to struggle for their very existence. Men who in one year were possessed of large pro perty, had by the proceedings of the mother country been left in a destitute state. But it was expected that Sir Robert Peel Would, in the next session of Parliament, permanently settle the question of the sugar duties. Sugar, they were all aware, was the great staple of the West Indies, and till the duties on it were permanently fixed, it was quite impossible that their affairs could be placed on a sure founda tion. The report said the Director, trusted soon to be able to recommend the declaration of a dividend. Different persona would give a different interpreta tion.itil what had meeting. In o ne had f a ll en f rom to the word " so on ;" he conf esse d he was. one of the sanguin e ones , an d he hoped t o h ear that declara pti,o,inntmoardiley d at id th i e le ir next half-yearly agree with Mr. Levi.

By WILLIAM RICHARD HARRIS. ..LA London: Longman, trown, Green, and Longman.. . NATIONAL ASSOCIATION. Yesterday a friendly meeting of the lute Robert Nicoll, firmetly editor of the Leeds Mercury, was held in the National Hall, High Holborn, to comme morate the anniversary of his birthday. A very crowded assemblage filled the Hall at the hour an nounced for tea, and, after the tables had been cleared, P. Taylor, juri., Esq.; toonhe chair, and was' sup ported by- George Thompson, Esq:,. - J 71. Parry, Esq., Dr. EpPs - ,-and - others of the ultra-Liberal party. The professionals engaged—Mrs: A. Newton (late Miss Ward), Miss Ilinks, Mr. Shoubridge, and Mr. J. B. Collett —sung a number of admired popular airs, duetts, &c., and were most deservedly applauded. The CHAIRMAN then, in a very able speech, directed the attention of the meeting to the works of the late Robert Nicoll, and with the most careful acumen analysed the tendency of his poem', which were proved, by an abundance .of quotations, to be ever directed to the - amelioration of the condition of the working classes. Mr. PARRY, the barrister, prop:mid the first senti ment—" May the beauties of poetry and truths of philosophy be ever allied and devoted to the elevation of all, instead of propping up the exclusive, and often mistaken, interests of the few ;" which, in an admir able, though very lengthened speech, he supported by showing that the most natural—the true childrai of genius, had ever arisen from the lower ranks; that their writings had conduced more to the advance ment of freedom ani .the.extension of popular prin ciples than any of the more polished and aristocratic poets of our country.—(Cheers.) Mr. MORTON supported the sentiment in an appro• priate speech, and it was adopted unanimously. Dr. Epps moved the second sentiment—" The memory of Robert Nicoll, the poet and politician of the millions, whose genius, energies, and life, were devoted to their true interests, for he was ever active in exposing error, upholding right, and endeavouring to blend all in holy brother hood, in order to promote the world's happiness ;'' and reminded the meeting that the unfailing—the ever strenuous exertions of the late Robert Nicoll— demanded that that tribute should be paid 'to his memory. He might well say that that lamented in dividual fell a sacrifice to his exertions in the cause of " the people." Indeed, his last moments of life were expended in the endeavour to return a patriot for his adopted town in the person of Sir W illiam Molesworth. GEORGE TuomrsoN, Esq., in a brilliant speech, said that the previous speakers had left him little to do, and were he not to take up the volume and make 4 speech on it, by reading half its contents, he did not see how he could otherwise get on. He, how ever, would entreat the meeting to read the volume for themselves, if they had not already done so, and he should use his individual exertions with Mr. Tait to induce him to publish a cheap edition, that the work might hereafter be found a constant companion at the poor man's fireside. The speaker concluded an able, an argumentative, and analytical speech, amid loud and continued cheering. Mr. LovErr proposed the third sentiment—" The intellectual, moral, and political improvement of our race. May all sectarian feelings and party views he speedily merged in the general desire for universal happiness, irrespective of man's creed - , colour, caste, or country;" which was supported by Dr. WATSON, and carried unanimously. The meeting then, after thanks to the Chairman, broke up. MRS. MARCE'T'S SPELLING BOOK.

But natural as this feeling may be on their part, we are well pleased, nevertheless, to find that these hopes have been disappointed. It is right for the rail way department of the Board of Trade to take time for their work. They are charged with the execution of a most onerous and important office, involving an immense amount of capital and public interests of a vast and cen fficting character. It is therefore essential to the proper performance of such arduous and difficult duties that the decision of the board in every case should be the result of ample care and previous deliberation. Persons of some experience in railway business say that the board could not examine properly into each proposed line before them without twelve months' preparation. We do not give way to that opinion, because we be lieve that many of the lines do not call for much consideration. Some of them are of manifest public utility, running in a proper direction as main trunks through the localities they intersect, and not exposed to competition. Others again may be disposed of on grounds equally conclusive, although very opposite. In neither of these classes can the Board of Prude be much at a loss how to act, nor is it likely that they will differ in opi nion. The difficulty rests in deciding the question of competing lines, and so to decide as to do justice to the parties, and also to pay the requisite attention to the in terests of the public. The promoters of some of the lines already rejected by the board have given notice that, as the decision was not accompanied " by any reasons in justification of such a course," the provisional committee will " not relax" their efforts. The committee of the Cornwall and Devon Central Railway has made intima tion to that effect, while the favoured, or at least the fortunate, line front Falmouth to Plymouth concisely observes, on the other hand, with much self-satisfaction, ' that " the Board of Trade having reported in their favour, any communication in reference thereto" may be addressed to theiecommittee, in Broad-street-buildings. No reasons, we suspect, would have satisfied the parties who have been thrown overboard, and any reasons, or none, were equally acceptable to those who received a verdict in their favour.—Chronicle. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN RAILWAY.—A rumour having become prevalent that the promoters of the pro-. jectedCatribridge and Lincoln Railway intended to pull down the church at Chesterton, we have the highest authority fir stating that there is no intention to touch the church or the church-yard, but to keep as fur away from both as possible. We apprehend this unfounded rumour arose from the fact of notices having been given to the patrons, incumbent, and churchwardens, in com pliance with the standing orders, which require that such notices should be given -, to all owners and occupiers of property within 100 yards of each side of the intended line.—Canibridye Chronicle. • • • SHOCKING CASE OF DRUNKENNESS.—OH Thursday afternoon a lad, named David Paull, was found lying in a state of insensibility upon the quay at Bristol, caused by drinking, by means of a straw, brandy front some casks which were being discharged from a ship. As the boy was in a critical state he was taken to the infirmary, where, by the use of th e s t omac h pump an d ot h er mean:, and after some time had elapsed, bas life was placed out of danger. --Bristol Journal., ,- 1. .; AL: v: c _4 .7 ... :•te: -- -- ---- . • , -- . d ' C__-- --1-1, :e l.:" , Y 4 144 A TT 74T .

We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter received by a mercantile firm. It iA some days later than previous advises, and will be found - interesting : " Otaheite i s i n a It P m A en P t E ab E le Ti sia j te UL a Y t I t B he l p B r 4 e 4 se . nt time ; the natives causing much apprehension, kerp the French soldiers continually on the alert. We have, since the arrival of the schooner {let of July), been daily expecting an attack upon the settlement, for which reason it was deemed prudent not to discharge the cargo; but we commence to-day, having written to the Gover— nor, holding the French Government responsible for any loss or damage occasioned to British property from the proceedings of the present war. The feel ing of insecurity has prevented our mei:4e; many sales at present, and from the same cauee we fear we shall net realise such good prices as expected. We shall have a full cargo for the schooner. Captain Hammond, of the Salamander, has disappointed expectation. He appears to take a view of Otaheitian affairs opposite from that of any of his predecessors. A letter he sent to the French Governor was, by the latter's directions, rendered into the Otaheitian dialect, with perverted meaning, and posted about, in the hope that it might induce the natives to give over their struggle, and quietly sub mit to the French yoke. The perverted letter was to the effect, that Captain Hammond begged to inform the French Governor that his arrival in Otaheite was merely for the purpose of looking after the interests of British property, there being no representative of the Queen of Great Britain in this land. Captain Hammond declared that it was utterly useless for the Otaht itians to resist the exalted power of France, and made known to them that no ship belonging to the Queen of Britain would come to Otaheite at this time to give them assistance. This letter, in the opinion of many, instead of having the desired effect, will Merely precipitate matters a little; as the natives, in the belief that Britain has deserted and left them to their own resources, have determined to do or die. The native population, with few exceptions, have taken to the mountains, and parties of them from time to time engaged the French in skirmishes, many of the latter having been killed, and some Otaheitians. " The priests' houses hare been burnt, and the houses of others favouring the French, and much property has been destroyed ; and in a late affray between the natives and their invaders, we regret to state that the Rev. T. S. M‘liean was shot dead as he was turning from his verandah to his house. The bullet struck him behind his ear, and lodged below the socket of his eye ; he breathed heavily for five or six minutes after his fall, and expired without a word ; it is not known for certainty from which party the shot was fired. His loss is deeply deplored, as he was the most learned of the mission, and a very amiable man. His wife and children, who had gone to an adjacent island for security are yet in ignorance of his sad fate. Nearly all the missionaries are leaving the island ; some for England, and others for islands ad jacent. We will not enter into further distressing detail, as ticulars : and we have no doubt you will shudder at his fate." UNITED STATES. (From the Liverpool Tunis.) By the fast-sailing American ship General Par Captain M‘Kown, we have several days' later dates from Charleston than those previously received. Se left the Bar on the 16th ult. The news from Liverpool by the steamer Caledonia, of Nov. 19, reached Charleston on the 12th ult., as appears from a paper of the 13th ult. We give an extract of some interest : SPEECH OF JAMES K. POLK. The Nashville Union of the 30th ult., gives the fol lowing report of a speech delivered by the President elect, Colonel Polk, on the previous day, on the oec,ision of his reception at Nashville. In reply to an address from Mr. Nicholson, he rose and replied as follows : " I return to you, Sir, and to my fellow-citizens whose organ you are, my unfeigned thanks for this mani festation of the popular regard and confidence, and for the congratulations which you have been pleased to ex press to me, upon the termination and the result of the late political contest. lam fully sensible that these con gratulations are not, and cannot be, personal to myself. It is the eminent success of our common principles which has spread such general joy over the land. The political struggle through which the country has just passed has been deeply exciting. Extraordinary causes have existed to make it so. It has terminated—it is now over—and I sincerely hope and believe, has been decided by the sober and settled judgment of the Ame rican people. "In exchanging our mutual congratulations with each other upon the result of the late election, the democra tic party should remember, in calmly reviewing the con test, that the portion of fellow-citizens who have dif fered with us in opinion have equal rights with our selves ; that minorities as well as majorities are enti tled to the full and free exercise of their opinions and judgments ; and that the rights of all, whether of mi norities or majorities, as such, are entitled to equal re spect and regard. In rejoicing, therefore, over the success of the de mocratic party, and of their principles, in the late elec tion, it should be in no spirit of exultation over the de feat of our opponents ; but it should be because, as we honestly believe, our principles and policy are better cal culated than theirs to promote the true interests of the country. " In the position in which I have been placed, by the voluntary and unsought suffrages of my fellow-citizens, it will become my duty, as it will be my pleasure, faith fully and truly to represent, in the executive department of the Government, the principles and policy of the great party of the country who have elevated me to it ; but, at the same time, it is proper that I should declare that I shall not regard myself as the representative of a party only, but of the whsle people of the United States ; and I trust that the future policy of the Government may be such as to secure the happiness and prosperity of all, without distinction of party." ROWING AIATCH.—The scullers' contest between Thomas Coombes, of Mil!bank, and Joseph Leach, of Lambeth, for 101. aside, came off yesterday. The former of these, the brother of Robert Coombes, the champion, is well known as a first-rate man. and has distinguished himself on many occasions. The latter has appeared but little before the public ; but his contest last summer with Clement Bartlett, induced his friends to consider him a likely customer for his opponent of yesterday. The distance was from Westminster to Putney, and Coombs appeared to have the call in the betting circles. The race disappointed the expectations of those who hail assembled to witness it. Coombes won the choice of station, and went to the Middlesex side, his adversary being at the next pier. Immediately after the start, and before their arrival at Lucas's-road, Leach gradually rowed away from his man, retained the lead, and won by upwards of forty yards. Coombes, who had started well, appeared to have strained his left arm immediately after wards. his defeat may be :attributed to this, although it is of course difficult to say that he would have been successful had it been otherwise. EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF TOBACCO BY TIIE CUS TOMS' OFFICERS.—OB Saturday last a large quantity of tobacco and cigars was di:-.covered hidden beneath some packages on the quay at the St. Katherine Docks, which, it was supposed, had been surreptitiously landed from a vessel now discharging her cargo, to await the opportunity of removal from the premises with some goods about to be shipped into craft to be landed else where, which was immediately seized by the Customs' officers. On Monday afternoon a further quantity, con sisting of about forty pounds' weight of manufactured negrohead tobacco, done up in the same manner, and of exactly the same description as that discovered on the quay o a shed a a t d u Say, j r o d i nin gwa the's foundplace, which concealed was b e a h l i s i c i ) d the seized of the same parties. No clue has yet been obtained as to the actual source from whence this tobacco was landed, though suspicions are entertained on the subject. ARCIIDEACONRY OF CORNWALL.—III consequence of the death of the Venerable Archdeacon Sheepshanks, this county, under the provisions of the Ecclesiastical Commission, will be divided into two archdeaconries. The R ev . W. Gee, of Week St. Mary, has been appointed, by the Bishop, Archdeacon of E ast Cornwall, but the name of the future Archdeacon of West Cornwall has no t yet transpired. It is rumoured that the two perishes of Gluvias and Buduck, which have hitherto been held together as one living, will now be disunited and become that Et ait3DhoiTps building, E o e ui situated! two separate benefi ces.—Fulteouth Packet. s I i PEL.—EXIICAUTION 07 YljiN D CREns a ' the ° 11 e r a s r t e e a rn d e t r s x t a r r e e m a i t n y ' a or aware that this building, situated a t the eastern extremity of the valley which separates the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh, formerly the Old Botanic Garden, has been sold to the North British Railway Company, and is now about being taken down. About nine o'clock, on Now Year's..ilay morning, the remains of the foundress, Lady Glenorchy, were exhumed from a catacomb under the floor of the chapel, which was covered by several large flags, on one of which a large plate of brass indicated who lay below. At the bottom of a flight of steps, and in a narrow catacomb, the coffin was found, which lad rested there in darkness for nearly sixty years. The coffin, in the first attempt of the labourers to remove it from its place, parted longitudinally a-top, and the remains of Lady Glenorchy were deposited within a new shell pre pared for the purpose. The plate above bore, in cha racters still distinctly legible, that the remains were those of Lady Glenorchy, the foundress of the chapel, and that she had departed in July 1786, in her forty-fourth year. The cover of the new shell was then screwed down over both the mouldering skeleton and the coffin to which it had been consigned so long before ; and after it had been removed to its place in a hearse which was in waiting the vehicle moved s l ow ly awa y f o r re-interment, followed by a few gentlemen. members of the Free Church, who, in accordance with the terms of her Lady ship's will, were the trustees of the building.—Caledonian Mercury. 41 & 42, BARBICAN, and 16, NORTON FOLGATE.
