THIS IS TEN ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having 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, aid be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be in the management 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, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that It was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions w hi c h have been argued Ia the Courts, and to many extra judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this Company. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accuinulatious, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums In the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated 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 without reference to the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Enrope. The premium's calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation In the profits 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 retail to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to he IR., the first pay ment by the half-premium 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 5/. ; for the second, of 10/. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 331., may either be repaid, er retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 500/. then payable by the Company.

Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums, by which means Assurances may be effected with the least possible present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder will become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid the whole amount of his premiums in advance, in the usual way. Thus, for example —a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age, instead of paying 21. 6s. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would be required to pay 11. 3s. only during the Rrst five years, when, on payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to U. 155., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre miums to very little more than the half Premium of 17. 3s. originally paid by him. The Great Britain is the only Mutual Assurance Society in which this very great accommodation is given to the As sured. Credit allowed for the whole of the first five Annual Premiums, on satisfactory security being given for the payment of the same at the expiration of five years.

At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the life policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. to the shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one half the premium may rem.in on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a peril )n to assure his life for £l,OOl on the im mediate payment of the premium for £5OO only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of 1100 for the whole life, one-half of which may—remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at 5 per cent.; and should the policy become a claim in the interim; the amount due will then be deducted.

R EPORT of the BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-road, London, for 1841. In the year 1823 the above Establishment was founded by James Morison, the Hygeist, who, together with a great number of indivi duals, became members thereof, in order the more effectually to carry out those penciples in medicine known as the " Hygeian s. tern," which have from interested motives been so violently opposed by the Faculty, but which they ithe Hygeists), notwithstanding, coo seientiously believe to be founded in truth. Time, the test of all theories, has m' st certainly proved the truth of that system. The Hygeian agents in different parts of the world, who are highly re spectable persons, have all concurred in their reports as to the cure of disease by Morison's Medicines, when many of the parties had been given over as incurable under the ordinary medical treatment; these facts are on record throughout the different parts of the globe, and, therefore, Hygeists are justified in denouncing the present sys tem of doctors (toe organic pathology) as being altogether founded in error, which, we submit, is empty proved by the fact of doctors being at this day quite at variance with one another, both as regards the theory of disease and its practice—hence have we the Water Cure, Homoeopathy, Mesmerism, &c. The fact of medical men being gene rally persons of education is not of itself at all conclusive of their being the moat competent to cure disease, if it can be proved, as we say it can, that, from interested motives, the medical schools have diverged from the path of simple nature, and for profit have made the science of medicine one of confusion, not to be understood by even the wisest man that ever lived; in proof of which assertion we refer the public to the medical works of the day, which contain the most fiugrant contradictions and absurdities. Mr. Morison, on the other hand, proceeding upon a' simple, but true and :natural theory— namely, that all diseases, however they may show themselves, have their origin in an impure state of the blood and fluids so that there is, in fact, but one di sease — a d m i n i s t ers a t once t h e Vegetable Uni versal Medicine ; and he, and those connecte.l with his system, have invariably found,• that when the disease was curable it has been cured by that simple process, whilst, if the same disease had been submitted to 'earned doctors, they would have tried, perhaps, innu merable prescriptions, all dignified with Latin names, and, alter all, have left the patient where they found him, if not worse. We say these are facts of svery day occurrence, and that those who will in quire into this imp :rtant question will find them such. We are aware that the practice of a system like the Morisonian w - uld not sufficiently remunerate doctors, since:every nerson might thus become his own physician. The public will, therefore, not bemuch sur rised that the Faculty should have adopted a system founded on organic prin ciples, as if the body were a piece of patchwork, which consequently obliges all persons (except Hygeists) to have recourse to them in cases of disease; hence we see, in almost every street, eye and ear infirmaries, and other establishments for treating different parts of the body. In conclusion, we have to lay before the public an extract from the last Report of the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary, together with Lady Grey's last letter. and the amount paid by us for stamps to the Bri tish Government, &c., all of which we submit is corroborative of the foregoing allegation, namely, that the present system of doctors in treating diseases on organic principles is altogether erroneogs. (Signed) MORISON. MOAT, and CO. Hygeists. • At the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary upwards of 4,1300 poor per. sons have been restored to health by the Hygeian medicines. miny of whom had been declared incurable in the Exeter hospitals under doctors' treatment. The Dispensary, situate at 91, Fore-street-hill, Exeter, has now been in full operation during the last eight years, and is under the direction of Richard Tothill, Esq., to whom the public is referred as regards the proceedings at that Institution. Case of Cure reported by Lady Sophia Grey. Sandiway, December 7, 1843. Gentlemen,—By the wish of our labourer, G. Greaves, I write to say thlt he wishes it to be known how greatly he has benefited by taking your most excellent medicines. When we came to this place he was a poor sickly young man, so often tied up with violent attacks of asthma, that the farmers would not employ him, and Mr. Booth Grey gave him little jobs when able to do anything. I instantly per suaded him to take your Pills in small doses, alternately No. 1 and No. 2 He li done so, never exceeding seven pills at a dose, and is now a very he ilthy man, and able to wo k like any other labourer, and not affected by every change in the weather. I have known se veral that have received groat benefit from your Pills in this most dis tressing complaint. I have several bad cases in hand, and no words can describe theblessing this medicine is to the poor. I have seve ral patients I have never seen, but send the advice by letter; hut am not deceived, as I have friends who watch their progress. As for my self I should have been dead years ago if it had not been for your Pills and the mercy of my Heavenly Father. I remain, Gentlemen, yours sincerely obliged, SOPHIA GREY. To Messrs.. Morison, Moat, a d Co., British College of Health, London. Extract of the Report of the Exeter Hygeian Dispensary for No vember, 1t243 Mr. Robert Potter. aged 62, is a yeoman, residing at Countess Wear, near Exeter. In the month of May last he was violently seized with inflammation in the neck of the bladder, so that he had not the power to pass his water; consequently Mr. Perkins, surgenn, of Exeter, was sent for to pass the catheter and draw it off. Mr. Potter was otherwise extremely ill from rheumatic gout, so`much so, that Dr. Elliott, of Mount Radford, Exeter, was in attendance with Mr. Parkins, and it was considered that he was in imminent danger. All means were had recourse to, ace rding to the present anode of practice, to restore their patient, which was in sow mea • sure effected, as, after many weeks, the patient left his bed; but as for the bladder, it had lost entirely its contractile power, so much so, that for thirteen weeks he never could make water in the natural way, and the catheter was obliged to be introduced four or five times every day, and always during the night it was kept passed into the blad,ler. Mr. Potter continued to suffer in this distressing manner until the sth of August, about which period he was recommended to me to see if Morison's Pills would have any good effect upon him, and nay opinion being favourable as to the ultimate results of that medicine upon him, he immediately began with three pills at night and two in the morning, an_i at the end of the third day, astonishing to say, he was able to make water in the natural way. He continued every day to progress favour.+bly, and I think he has taken the medicines in varied doses for about three months, under my directions, with the happiest results, inasmuch that he has now no occasion to pass the instrument, the bladder having quite regained its natural lower; and Mr. Potter's health is so regenerated in every respect, that he has now become as active and healthy a person as can be seen. Mr. Potter has requested me to publish his case, as he never can be too thankful for the gre t blessing he has received, and will be most willing to answer any Inquiries to aliy one respecting his digressing illnass, and also as to the very extrordinary effect of the medicines upon him, by their applying to him at Countess Wear, near Exeter. (signed) RICHARD TOTHILL, Surgeon, &c., M.R.C.S., L. Heavitree, Ewer, Nov. 1843. T.:e Quackeries of Doctors by the help of their Organic System of Treating Diseases. I. A nice thing this organic pathology of doctors, which enables than to administer innumerable drus6, and what is best of all for them, it can never be proved that they have given that which is im proper. Dr- A. gives this, Dr. B. that, Dr. C. the other thing, and so forth. Dr. A. bleeds, Dr. B. doesn't, and Dr. C. both bleeds and doesn't. Mr. D. complains of a pain in the side, upon which Dr. A. sends forth a messenger, in the shape of morphine, or some ether ine, to fetch it out from that particular locality. Mr. D. complains of a pain in his liver, Dr. A. sends another messenger in the shape, perhaps, of calomel, to fetch that out. Mr. D. complains of a pain is his heal, Dr. A. sends a third messenger or some sort or other, dignified also with a Latin name, to fetch that out. Thus, according to di‘ctors, there is a specifie for " ev ery part of the eody. This sound. very well, but unfortunately they al differ among them selves, on acc tint of symptoms, as to when and how their remedies should be given. We call this a system of quackery, which may be verified by any person referring to the medical works of the day. It is a most fearful quackery, because it tends completely tp enslave the public mind, prevents inquiry, and takes away all responsibility from doctors ; they always have a loophole to creep out at under their organic pathology. If a poor patient-dies, of course the disease killed him, it couldn't have been the d ctors' drugs; the confiding friends believe him, and there is no flutther inquiry. t. Kee ing line houses and carriages, in order to lead persons to believe that, therefore, they can cure diseases better than their brethren with diplomas, but without carriages or fine houses. This. of course, would have no weight with the public if they knew the nature of their awn bodies, but being grossly ignorant of it, they are led by outward show. We believe that it is well known that a doctor stands no chance unless he keeps his carriage of some sort or other. S. Writing their prescriptions in Latin. This is done, we pre. sume, to prevent the patient knowing the useless or injurious things which he is taking; at all events, to g.ve importance and mystery to the thing. 4. Writing a book upon some particular disease (thanks to their organic pathology), and then getting a friend, the editor of some newspaper or review, to plait into notoriety. Having considered the quackeries of doctors, we turn to the Hy geian system. Let us see whether therebe quackery in that. How stands the case? Why simply thus—Mr. Morison. the Hygelat, al. loges that all diseases proceed from one cause, viz., impurities in the blood; he also alleges that the Vegetable Universal .Medicine, by removing these impurities, must necessarily produce health. Is he borne out by fact, in that assertion ? Let the thousands of cured patients answer. Moreover, it has been offered during the last eight years to prove the 'important fact of the universality Of the medicine, be a strict examination of the cues of poor people who present thernselvetitaily at the Exeter Hygehn Dispens3ry, most of whcm are.discsrded as incu►able patients from the Exeter hos pitals. We cannot see, hew. the word quackery can apply to the i-fgeian system; it is .not pretended that the medicine cures by magic, or as if there were a charm in it, but it is, on the contrary, its cleansing properties over the blood which are relied upon. The cause of all diseases is acserted, and the medicine being unchange able, it therefore follows that every person, understanding that sphere, can judge whether he will put himself under the Hygeian treatment or net. There is no loophole for Hygeists as with doctors; if the Dills fail, then Hygeists say that, in their opinion, nothing else will cure. As to doctors being generally prawns of education, it is no proof whatever of their ability to cure the sick, thcause from motives of gala (hence their opposition to Hygeism) the medical schools have departed fr ,, m simple nature, and in order to make medicine a lu crative employment, they have invented this cursed organic patho logy before described, which is now so mystified, that some of its professors have gone mad, andothers confessthat they know nothing about it. Some of them have turned mesmerizers, homoeopathists, water doctors, mad doctors, &c. With these observations we leave the public to say which are really the quacks. Lastly, be it remembered, that Hygeiaism owes its rise 'and pro gress entirely to public support, and, unlike the doctors, does not re quire the prop of arbitrary Acts of Parliament, the indirect puffs of newspapers, or the subscriptions of the rich. Lieut. Mackinnon's Report. The last packet from America brought the following report from Lieutenant John Mackinnon, 104th Foot. Hygeian general agent for Cape Breton and other islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence:— To Messrs. Morrison and Moat. British College of Health, London. Dear Sirs,—On the Pith of October, 154 , I had the pleasure of transmitting to the British College of Health a brief report on Hyge . an affairs is this quarter of the globe, and which, I am happy to discover, has been largely circulated, and some hundreds of copies sent to this island to stare in the face both friends and foes. Since the report alluded to, the Universal Medicines of the Col lege have nothing diminished In the estimation of old as well as new patients for not a cloud has arisen to obscure, even for a moment, their shining lustre, and many cases of cure have been performed, (by the blessing of God on the means) of truly a most astonishing nature. A few only I deem it necessary to forward.— , st. Archibald M.Donald, aged 47, farmer, pronounced incurable by several doc tors. He had been informed by the wiseacres, th,t by the aid of their sounding rods they had discovered that his heart had grown tno large for its casement, and that he might prepare himself for an eternal world. He applied to me as his dormer resource before leaving this world, and was greatly surprised at my falling into .a violent fit of laughter at his tale of woe. " Archy, my man," said I, Do only what I bid you, and I will cut down that tremendous heart of yours in a few weeks; for those fellow i you have been consulting are only blind leaders of the blind." The pills and powders were administered in grand style, twenty at a dose twice a day; this was in April, and the July following he paid for his medicines by mowing the grass in my field. , , and then found that his heart was freed - front its shackles. He has remained in good health ever since. For tie remainder of Lieut. Mackinnon's report," see the 20th number of the Hygeist,published on theist of December last. The last Overland Ma►l from India brought intelligence of the chol ra ragiug in the interior, and of its successful treatment in all cases where Morison's Medicines were had recourse to. The following is an extract from a letter just received by Messrs. Morison and Moat, of the British College of Health, Hamilton place, New-road, London, from Robert L. Pereira, Esq., then.ge neral agent for Madras, dated October 21, 1843: I regret to inform you that the cholera is making great ravages in the interior, and.in a part of the black town called Parcherry. In Madras. during the last nine or ten days, many have fallen victims ; those who have taken your invaluable medicines have been cured, and others have been saved from an attack by a timely application to same means. Another extraordinary case of cure from Mr. Pereira, of Madras. Copy:—To Mr. It. L. Pereira. Sir,—l beg to inform you that one of my relations, a boy 12 years of age, having been bitten one night, at about half-past eight o'clock, by a venomous snake, called by the natives Cataverien, or Carpet Snake, about twelve o'clotk his whole body became swollen to an enormous size, and he commenced vomiting blood and rice, accom panied with an oppression in the chest, and in the last stage. I have, in the absence of other medicines, given him a dose of twelve of Morison's No. 2 Pills from the last purchase I made from you, and the boy, half an hour after he had taken the pills, threw up bile and had a few motions, whereby he felt instant relief, which gave him good rest till the next morning, and when he awoke he still fe't heavy symptoms, upon which a medical practitioner, a relative of the patient, prepared a draught, and desired the boy to, take it; he peremptorily refused, and said he would take no other medicine but the pills he had taken before, because he benefited thereby ; accordingly, another dose of nine pills was given him ; about half an hour after he vomited some 'green stuff and had three green motions, and entirely recovered. I beg also to bring to your notice that, notwithstanding the most extra ordinary cure I have experienced with this invaluable medicine in the bite of a venomous snake, as above stated, I have had the hap piness of curing various complaints of both a chronic and acute nature, and more particularly of myself. I must say that were it ry t for these pills I should to this very day suffer with the severe pain in the pit of my stomach which used to come on me very fre quently for several years before I used' them • in fact, many in my neighbourhood who knew me to have suffered with the pain, and that I had cured myself of it with these pills, flock to me for aid whenever they are taken ill, and I am obliged to give it to them, gratis in some instances. Hoping that, as these pills are now be. coming better known among the native population, and will he in greater demand daily, you will always have a good stock on hand for the benefit of mankind in this part of the universe, I beg to subscribe Myself, Sir, Your very obedient servant, . .

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—We have no means of affirming or denying the following statement, which we copy from the Dublin Evening Mail of Wednesday :—" The Premier himself has addressed a letter to the Irish Executive upon the subject of national education, in which he distinctly de clares that no future patronage is to be bestowed on clergymen of the Established Church in Ireland, who not only are not inimical to the system of national education, but who will not undertake to place all the schools in the parishes or dioceses in which they may be promoted, under the immediate management of Dr. Murray's Board." The journal from which we quote describes the, statement as " resting upon such authority that its truth admits neither of question nor of doubt." Whe ther it be founded on fact, or whether it be a mere fabri cation, is of comparatively little consequence for the purposes of our argument. The statement has ob tained credence, and produced one of those outbursts of Ultra-Protestant fury against Sir Robert Peel's Government, which show how little that powerful party in Ireland are disposed to trust his policy, and how cordially they detest his Administration. If the statement have its foundation in fact, this de cisive and well-directed movement in the right di rection may well provoke the bigots of the Pro testant Church to employ their vituperative powers in stirring up strife within the ranks of the Govern ment supporters. Their efforts would, however, be neu tralised, and the confidence of the nation would be strengthened in the Administration, by the assurance which such a step would give of the settled purpose of Ministers to support their own plans, and not longer allow the only system of education which can benefit the people of Ireland to be thwarted and counteracted by those on whom the Government patronage is bestowed. The reproach whith has been cast upon the Government that fosters the opposition which it is doomed to encounter, and thus renders itself ridiculous on the one hand, while it provokes the Catholic population of Ireland to resentment on the other, would be rolled away. Ministers would, OA least, seem honest in their professed wish to extend the means of educating the people by their Educational Board. The system of education taught in the schools founded and supported by the funds entrusted by Parlia ment to that Board, is professedly approved by the Government. The schools are designated, " Govern ment scho:ds." Yet, with an inconsistency which has rendered the honesty of the Government suspected, and has contributed to the dislike with which its rule is re garded by the Irish people, the most inveterate oppo nents* of the Government schools have been selected to fill bishoprics, deaneries, and other dignified posts in the Church, as they ha v e become vacant ! The Govern ment has thus stultified its own plans, and contributed to multipy its difficulties, • and to deepen its own dis grace I It will, therefore, be politic in the Govern ment, and advantageous to the people of Ireland, if the statement of the Dublin Mail be well founded. But if the statement be an invention, it has, at all events, been received as a truth by the Ultra-Protes tant party in Ireland. The leaders of that party have evidently taken alarm. If the opposkon of the High Church-clergy to the education of thelkople--except by the exclusive system which they persist in opposing to the system of the Government—should be checked, as checked it would be by the declared intention of the Pre mier, " to appoint English clergymen to benefices or bishoprics, as either may become vacant, should the clergy of Ireland continue contumacious"—if such an intimation has been communicated, clerical conversions to the Government scheme of Irish education will be thick "as leaves in Vallambrosa." Very little more would be heard of resistance to the only system which is worthy of being called " national." The schools which the clergy have set up against those of the Go vernment would be given up ; and the clamour which has been raised against the Government plan of edu cating the people would be heard no more. STANDARD.—Lord Ashley's motion, to reduce to ten working hours the period during which wom en and children should be employed in factories, was rejected in the House of Commons last night by a ma jority of 7- 18S to 181. Sir James Graham's proposition, to ex • tend the number of working hours to twelve, was in turn rejected by a majority of 3-186 to 183. In this anomalous position the question stands at present. But this is not the only anomaly in the matter. The House determined on Monday that women and children should be forbidden to - work in factories during the night, and that the word " night" should be interpreted to mean the time included between six P.M. and six A.M.; by this determination, still unrescinged, it is impossible thalt women and children can be present in the factory more than twelve hours; and, allowing the pauses absolutely necessary for rest and food, that they can work more than ten hours. Lord Ashley's purpose is, therefore, virtually unaffected by last night's decision, and must remain so until last Monday's vote shall be directly and distinctly rescinded. Sir J. Graham declared last night that he would on Monday explain the course that he will pursue in this perplexed condition of the question. Let us respectfully intimate to him that there is but one course open which will not involve the Government in inextricable dif ficulties, and a prolonged contest, and that is, gracefully to yield to the expressed will of the House of Commons on Monday night ; a will, the expression of which was not, as we have intimated, re tracted last night. If, however, the House of Commons had unequivocally retracted its steps, it would surely still be a grave question, whether a statesman ought to join in the retrogradation, supported by a majority of only 7, or 7 times 7. There is a great difference be tween withholding a promise and withdrawing a pro mise already made—the first may be regarded as a wrong, but it cannot be considered an insult ; the other is an insult as well as a wrong. Now, without the testimony of Sir Robert Inglis, every one must feel that the vote of Monday would be re garded as a promise of restriction of the hours of labour by the factory labourers ; but the statements in the Honourable Member for Oxford's admirable speech prove by facts what every one's own feeling must have anticipated—the factory labourers believe that they have the House of Commons pledged to their relief. And is it just, is it wise, to disappoint them, relying upon the sic volumus of a majority of seven ? It was truly said by Sir James Graham that there are experiments from which it is impossible to retire ; but we think that the experiment of a limitation of the hours of labour is not one of these experiments. We are convinced that should the labourers in factories find the effect of a ten hours' law to be to reduce wages and diminish employment, they would as earnestly pray for the repeal of such a 'law, as they now pray for its enactment. The promise of an experiment, from which men expect great benefit, is, however, an engagement from which, indeed, it is in no case courteous, just, or safe to retire ; and such a promise the House of Commons has given. But we will' say no more upon this view of the matter, becouse we adhere to the hope that even yet the vote of Monday still be faithfully followed out, even in the present session ; that it will be law before another year we have no doubt whatever. There was nothing new offered in the course of last night's debate, but some old fallacies were re peated with so much confidence, that it may be pro per to refer to them. It was observed that the effect of limiting the hours of labour would be to transfer much capital to the Continent for the esta blishment of rival manufactories, Our fist answer to this is a very short one. Consols closed yesterday at 98f. There is, therefore, abundance of capital in the country to invest in foreign manufactories, if these manufactories offer a profit of more than 3 per cent upon the outlay and wages. But they do not, and cannot. In every country some manufactories must exist, because of the coarser pro ducts of labour the carriage is more than the cost of raw material and manufacture, and this easily enough accounts for the success of some foreign speculators, up to a certain point—but beyond that point they cannot go, though all the millowners of Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Cheshire were to migrate, say to Austria, in a body, and by a favour of a miracle, like that which traris ferred the Cottage of Loretto, to carry. their mills with them. The home market is the indispensable nurse of manufactures upon a great scale a nurse as necessary in those malad ies of depression, to which every commercial pursuit is subject, as in infancy. It is the home (including the colonial) market, which has called into existence the manu factures of Great Britain, and which by consuming five-sixths of their produce, supports them—this market the migrating millowners cannot take with them. It will remain with us as long as we p rotect our agricul ture, our colonies, and our capital; it will demand more of our manufactures than all the world beside, and we need not pay 'that they who manufacture the most, and the most steadily, will in the end always produce the best and the cheapest commodity. The country which has the greatest amount of capital and the best markets, will always maintain the ascendancy in manufactures ; and the only effect of the. contest of such a country with others will be merely a competition which shall make its labourers most miserable. TIMES.—Sir James Graham came before the House last night to demand the reversal of a deliberate decision four days old. It could hardly be expected that he should do this with success, nor did he succeed. We regret, however, to say that his defeat has not been accompanied with a corresponding triumph on the side of justice and humanity ; for, strange to say, both the Ten Hours' Bill and its opponents have for the present suffered defeat. We really do not know what pretence Sir James Graham has had for offering this affront to the Legislature. He could not suppose it to have been taken by surprise. There had been two nights' long 'debate,including t wo long speeches by Sir J ames hi mse lf ; an d previous to that there had been discussion without . end, both in doors and out of doors. He could not suppose that any of Lord Ashley's supporters on the division of last Monday would come to his terms when they found Ministers in earnest. There is too much self.respect in the House of Commons to expect so base a submission. As for the power of importunity, it is great, especi ally the golden importunity of the powerful; but Sir James had most incontinently wasted that plea. Could a third speech con. vert those who listened to two already with increasing antipathy ? Was it expected that a fresh display of Ministerial earnestness EXAMPLES. Policy , Anneal Bonus Cash Prem.

On entering his dwelling, he let fall the bag of powder, which burst, and the whole of the contents was scattered on the floor. It was night, but the wife, to avoid the risk of leaving the powder where it was till the morning, determined to sweep it up. While thus engaged, the finer particles, raised in dust by her broom, caught fire, and caused the whole to explode ; and the result was terrible. The house was scattered in portions in every direction, and the man and his wife were both driven, with the door, to a distance of 15 yards. Their state is dreadful. Some hopes of saving the man are entertained, but none of the woman.— Galignani. a!"& d ee7 -- _ • would accelerate and secure the dccisions.

If we don't let Sir James Graham keep these people to their work, why then—we may possibly lose not only two hours' labour a day, but her Majesty's Ministers into the bargain; and if the former loss is ruinous, how much more the hitter 1' Cutting off the two hours will only shut np the mills; but if Sir James Graham re signs, the Constitution is at an end. How nimbly and cheerfully —with what renewed heart and strength—will the poor creatures run from spindle to spindle after six o'clock on a bright summer's evening, when they know that they are paying the price of Sir James Graham's multifarious services in the Mr me-office: Orr the other hand, supposing for a moment such a calamity, imagine the factories closed at six o'clock, and Sir James Graham spending the spring of 1845 in unofficial though dignified leisure, what a damp would that national bereavement cast on the amusements or occupations of those two or three hundred thouland factory idlers ! Surely Sir James Graham cannot mean such a threat! Then, why bark without biting P That long list of Right Honourable's In the minority every Minister every underling—makes it look like a Ministerial measure. Let there be no mistake in the matter. Is it a Ministerial question, or is it not ? For the benefit of those who are not familiar with Parliamentary forms, It is as well to explain the particular mode of procedure by which the House was asked to stultify Itself. Its the second, or interpretation clause of the Factory Bill, the word night was defined as the period from eight o'clock hi the evening to six o'clock on the fallowing morning. Lord Ashley thereupon moved that "the word ' night' shall be taken to mean from six o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the following morning; and the word ' meal-time' shall be taken to mean an Interval of cessation from work for the purpose of rest and refreshment, at the rate of two hours a.day, with a view to effect a limitation of the hours of labour to ten in the day." The division of last Monday - night was in favour of this amendment.. The Bill was' thus left incousistent with itself. The above amendment, compared, with the clause forbidding young persons and all females to work in the night, rendered the Bill a Ten Hours' Bill, as far as those clauses were concerned. But the eighth clause implicitly allowed them twelve hours' daily labour. It enacted, "that no young person, and no female of any age, shall be emp'oyed in a fae. tory in any one day more than twelve hours, or after the expiration of twelve hours from the time when any child or young person in the factory first begins to work in the morning, over and above the time given for meal. times, save in the cases hereinafter excepted." The alteration, therefore, in the second clause entailed the necessity of altering the eighth clause, i. e. the word," twelve" to " ten ;'' and if MI. nisters had resigned themselves to the vote of last Monday, they would have made this substitution as a matter of course. This they would not do, Hence the debate of last night, which was nothing but the old fight over again. This being, then, nothing else than a third night of the debate, and the chief speakers hav ing already exhausted themselves and the subject, much novelty or interest was not to be expected. The day after the feast is the best part of the feast, some people say! but it is not so in a Par. liamentary debate. Speakers thrust out in the brisk competition of the first nights now have elbow room. Odds and ends of state mega and argument are now produced. Remainders are disposed of, and forgets remembered. People who delight in the peculia rity, rather than in the obviousness of their views, now find a place which they could not in the broad field of the earlier discus sion. The most prominent and the most rational sentiment of the evening was the impropriety of asking the House to convict itself of indiscretion, and perpetuate a burden which it had just pro. nounced to be intolerable. What can be more odious than to de. clare a suffering class to be free, and immediately withdraw the word of freedom ? POST.—This morning witnessed one of those unaccountable anomalies which we should perhaps look for in vain, except in the British House . of Commons, Sir James Graham, having moved that the blank in the eighth clause of the Factory Bill should be filled up with the words" twelve" hours, was left in a minority of three. In consequence of this division, the blank of course stilt remained; and Lord Aihley then moved the insertion of the words " ten" hours. The House divided; and the same men who had, only a few minutes before, voted against the Government, now con ferred a similar compliment on Lord Ashley, and negatived, by a majority of seven, the Identical motion which, on Monday last. they had affirmed by one of nine votes. After all the debating that has taken place on the subject, therefore, the blank in the clause exists precisely as it did when the fill first went into Committee. But though nothing has been done in the House, something very important has, we fear, been effected out of it. The country has learned that the decisions of the House of Commons are based upon no more fixed principle than the caprice of the moment, and that, for anything we can see, the pressing interests of humanity might as well be entrusted to "the hazard of the die" as to a Parliamentary rote. What may be the effect of this morning's proceedings, when they become known in the manufacturing districts, it is melan. choly to anticipate. Sir James Graham has taken till Monday to consider what he and his colleagues may determine to do, and we eaknestly hope that, among the other topics to which their attention must be turned, they will not forget how the labourers in our fac tories have been now, for four days, excited into joyfulness by the belief that the House of Commons had agreed upon ten hours as the limit of their daily toil. Will these poor people be able to corn. prehend the Parliamentary game of chance, by which they have been deprived of the boon ? Will It be an easy task to convince them that what was just and humane on the Monday, became unfitting and impolitic on We Saturday of the same week ? NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Devonport Independent.) LATEST FROM CHINA. We have received letters by the Overland Mail, from onr correspondent at Hong-Kong (China), dated Dec. 30, 1843, from which we extract the following : "The Rattlesnake sailed on December 10, with 200 in valids from the fleet, amongst whom are Lieut. Daily, from the Pelican; Lieut. Priest, R.M., Minden; and Mr. Rogers, Assistant-Surgeon, Minden. "Irer Majesty's brig Childers, 16, Commander Wellesley, will leave - China in January, for England, with 1,000,000 of dollars. " Mr.• Miles Hammett, Master, of the Wolverine, is dead; and Mr. Jones is appointed in his place. • " I have just learnt that trade to the north is exceedingly brisk, and that Wosang, in the Yang-tee-kiang, is full of Money—dollars and sycee—waiting for English goods, which are not to be had in sufficient quantities to meet the demand. " We had a fine view of the eclipse on the 22d of Decem ber; it commenced about one o'clock, and the moon passed right over the sun, like passing one plate over another; it was seen better here than in any other place. I will give you . the Chinese opinions of the eclipse: they say that the large dragon swallows the sun. and then disgorges it again —a • pretty strange conceit. Several of the Chinamen told me this, but the better educated men do not believe it; still it is very difficult to make them understand it. They are, in- ' deed, a strange people. • " Lord Saltoun, the commander of the forces, went in the Cornwallis for a trip to Manilla, but returned directly, as his successor is daily expected here in the Castor. " There are at present 47 patients in theMinden's hospital ; of these 32 are soldiers, who aro going on shore to the mili tary hospital, and 10 are their own men, so that they have but 5 belonging to the fleet." • Her Majesty's steam-frigate Styx, Com. Vidal, was paid ' wages on Tuesday last, and sailed the same day for the Azores, to proceed with her survey. Her Majesty's store and guard-ship Tortoise, 12, Comman der Finlaison, arrived on Monday from Portsmouth, on her way to Ascension, where she is to be stationed. She has some passengers and a quantity of stores on board. Her crew was paid wages on Thursday. Her 111jesty's 'Sloop Larne, 18, Com. J. W. D. Brisbane, having refitted, was towed out of harbour by the Confiance. Her Majesty's ship Forte, 44, having been jury-rigged, was towed out of harbour on Thursday, and sailed the same day for Deptford, to be broken up. The Adventure, naval transport, arrived on Sunday, with tores from Portsmouth. Ships in Harbour—Caledonia, 120, Captain A. Milne (with the flag of Admiral Sir David Milne); San Josef, Captain. . F. W. Burgoyne; America, 50, Captain the Hon. John Gor don; Conliance, steamer; Adventure, transport; Falmouth, 1. lighter. In the Sound—Larne, 18, Corn. J. W. D Brisbane; Tor toise, Com. Finlaison. _ _ _ _ DOCK -YARD.—Mr. T. Granville. leading man of ship wrights, to be inspector; Mr. William Stephens, to be lead- _ ing man of smiths, vice Truscott, promoted. The naval payments for the quarter ending the 31st March, will be made at the Pay-office, in this yard, on Monday, the - Ist of April. Her Majesty's sloop Ringclove, 18, Commander Sir William ' Daniell, is ordered from the West Indies, to assist in the ' blockade of the Coast of Africa. Her Majesty's brig Star, 10, Commander J. R. Dunlop, was spoken on the sth ult., in lat. 1 S., lon. 3 E., on her pas sage from Ascension to the Gambia—all well. Mr. C. Bur ney, of this vessel, passed his examination for Master's As - - sistant, on board the Madagascar, on the 9th of January. Slavers are very plentiful on the Coast, nearly every ship having taken one or more. Her Majesty's ship Madagascar, 44, Captain John Foote, was at Ascension on the 10th January. Her orders for Eng land were daily expected. Her Majesty's brig Pantaloon, 10, Lieut. Lapidge, is or dered home from the Coast of Africa, to be paid off. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 22.—A cons. derable business has been done in foreign wools this week, chiefly in the low and middle descriptions, and prices are steady. ENGLLSII WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, MARCH 22.—We have not any alteration to report in the state of this market during the . present week. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, MARCH 22.—We cannot re port any favourable change in the demand for combing fleece' ' wools, and as there is no hope of farmers submitting to lower -; prices, holders generally are very firm. The demand for blanket wools is fair, and full rates are maintained. LEEDS.—There was a very thin attendance of buyers and manufacturers at our Cloth Halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday, which circumstance, together with the severity of the weather, has been the cause of a considerable falling off ' in the demand for summer Tweeds, particularly for the lower sorts. The markets have also been duller for goods of all descriptions than for several weeks past. The stocks on hand are, however, very small for the season, and prices ar© about the same as during the last month. Business has bees dull in the warehouses during the early part of the week, but there has been some improvement during the last few days. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—Pieces have certainly tnoved off in good quantities, and it is said the last packet from America brought over good orders for the manufactura": of this market, which. with the approaching spring tmde„ will no doubt keep the market animated for some time to come. Prices continue very firm. Yarns to some extent participate in the same degree of dulness as is apparent hal the wool market, and the buyers exhibit great caution their purchases, and are only buying from " hand to month," in anticipation of supplying themselves on more favourable) terms. The demand for all kinds of wools continues to be very limited, and a greater disposition evinced by dealers and staplers to sell ; as such we may fairly quote all sorts a shade lower. MANCHESTER, ,THURSDAY EVE(G.—As was anticipated in our last, the very low state of stocks of yarn on the Con- - • tinent has at last compelled shippers to purchase for their early spring shipments, though as yet it has not been done to any considerable extent ; still a commencement has taken place, which must now continue. Prices during the week . : have in consequence been steady. In cloth we have not. ) much change to notice, but buyers continue their operations, for China and India. Printing goods generally are declining.' The demand for domestics for the home market continues: good, but grey fustians are not so brisk as we have seen at this season.—Leeds Mercury. . - - ANCIENT RELtc.—Mr. T. Walsh, Patriek-street,l Limerick, has got a curious and rare specimen of the gold' pin or bodkin, which the Irish chieftains of old wore in the; front of then:dress. It was found in the crevice of a rock e Carrigaholt Castle, on Tuesday, where a few natives weiero burning sea-weed. It is fully seven inches long, with a head:. on the apex, and-is of the purest gold, weighing over MX otulees.—Cork Excpniner. 11[1 .
