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 without 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 th 2 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 en the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums.

High rates of premium -have hitherto operated against this kind of Assurance, but as the scale now adopted will be found as low as is consonant with the risk, it is believed that this fact, coupled with other advantages, will induce a great increase of insurers.

Robert Arkwright (all of them Tory magistrates), a parson Horton, a Mr. Barrow, and one or two others, have been trying_ o get up a " demonstration" against the League at Chesterfield, and a most farcical pro ceeding it was. After beating about for some time for requi sitionists, twelve pliant spirits were found in the persons of two freeholders (one of them lately agent to Mr. Arkwright), several cattle-jobbers, and two publicans ! With this funny mixture, the machinery was set in motion. A requisition, inviting "owners and occupiers of land, tradesmen, and others," to attend the meethv y ym published, and a regular • canvass set on foot - to "'Work up" a good 'Waster. - Many of the Duke of Devonshire's tenants in the Scarsdale Hundred (for be it observed, the squires dare not call a meeting of the whole division of North Derbyshire), were waited upon, and every means used to decoy them to the meeting, • under the plea that it was not a political matter. But the Duke's tenants were too wide awake. They looked at the instigators of the plan, and saw through the whole proceeding; so re solved to absent themselves altogether. Not one of the great landed proprietors of North Derbyshire was present at the meeting, and the whole proceeding was thoroughly dis countenanced by them. The hour appointed for the meeting was two o'clock, at which the aforenamed gentry, attended by perhaps fifty or sixty of their tenants, " and others," made their appearance, and huddled themselves about the table. Had they been left to themselves, the hall would have presented a cold, cheerless spectacle, and there would have been a beggarly account of empty benches. Butt so happened, that a long headed farmer named Lee, whoesides at Kelstage, and who had a bundle of " facts and figures" under his arm, together with several intelligent and independent tradesmen of the town, resolved on moving an amendment (though there does ' not seem to have been an organised opposition), and though the monopolists refused to receive the amendment, they were signally routed. Shortly after two o'clock, the hall became densely crowded, and the two first speakers were listened to with attention. When the mover and seconder of the resolution had finished their " say," Mr. Hurst rose to propose the first amendment. This was the signal for an uproar. The monopolists (some of whom had whips and sticks) hooted, stamped, hissed, and knocked the table, in order to drown Mr. Hurst's voice. There were indignant cries of " Shame," "Turn 'em out," and so on, from the bulk of the assemblage, and the war of voices raged for a considerable time. At length Mr. Hurst succeeded in making himself partially heard, and called upon . the Chairman to say whether, this being a public meeting , to which all classes were specially in vited, he had not a right to be heard. The Chairman (Mr. Clay) replied in the negative, and one or two bigoted squires, who made themselves notorious, voci ferated, " You shan't be heard, we'll not allow you !" Mr. Hurst—Oh, it is a bad cause indeed that will not bear scrutiny.—(Tremendous cheering.) The Chairman put the resolution, for which about fifty or sixty hands were held up ; and Mr. Sayer then called upon him to put the negative. The Chairman refused, and the refusal was received with hooting and hisses. A person, however, in the body of the meeting, called for an expression of opinion, when the great bulk of the assembly held up their hands and negatived the resolution, amidst tremendous cheering, by .3 or 4to 1. The Chairman, h owev er, refused to receive the vote, and declared the resolution carried, stat ing that he should not put the negative to any of the resolu tions, as the meeting was called for the purpose of adopting, not of rejecting, measures, &c.—(Hooting.)—[An attempt was made to make it appear that many persons who were favourable to the resolution held up their hands against it by mistake! But this not only did not, but could not, happen, for the matter was distinctly understood.] Mr. Sayer, Mr. Hurst, and others protested against this course ; and there were loud cries for Mr. Sayer, who essayed to speak, but the contention between the rival parties was so boisterous that scarcely a word he uttered could be heard. Mr. Bagshawe moved the second reistikition, but was heard very impatiently, in consequence of.the opposition to Mr. Sayer. He made a rambling _defence of the corn-laws, and was frequently interrupted by witty - ejaculations. He attacked the Anti-Corn-law League in strong terms, and for so doing was hooted down. The remaining speakers went through their work some but not a tyllahla thoy uttered wee hoard. The resolu tions were hurried over, and the three last were not put to the meeting at all. So anxious were the monopolists to scramble through them, that they altogether forgot to pro pose a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and they made a pre cipitate retreat into the grand jury-room, whither they beckoned their handful of supporters to sign the petitions, amidst hissing, and hooting, and groans. Mr. Sayer was then voted to the chair, amidst loud cheer ing, but before he h a d t i me to reach the a ll o tt e d pl ace , M r . Maynard, Mr. Mimes, the afore-named parson, and several others, rushed to th e c h a i r, of which they t oo k f orc ibl e pos session ; whereupon Mr. Hurst, Mr. Lee, and others, told them some very unpalateable truths, and a long recrimination took place. Ever and anon three cheers broke forth for Cobden and the League, and in the course of the procee din g s three cheers wer e given for the Duke o f D ev onshire (whose liberal sentiments i n regard to c i v i l, re li g i ous and commercial freedom, are well k nown. • After a badgeri ng o f nearly an hour longer, the opp onents of monopoly dete rm i ned on calling a coun t er -meeting, and on inviting Mr. Cobd en, and then le ft t h e H a ll, the proceed ings, having last e d nearly three hours. Meanwhile, the screw w i ll be put on, an d m any who would " rather not" will be compelled to sign the petitions. Not a single sixpence was subscribed at the meeting. The monopolists growl terribly at their defeat, though an attempt will be made to represent the demonstration as a " triumph ant one." We wish all monopolists many such triumphs ! COUNSEL AT SESSIONS. (From the Municipal and Poor-law Gazette.) Our readers will find, under the head " Administration of Justice," an account of a scene, which the reporter of the Times rightly describes as extraordinary The grand jury, at the Middlesex Ses s i ons at Clerkenwel l , found true bills against the occupierSof seventeen houses of ill-fame, all within the Strand Union. Mr. Corder, the clerk of the Strand Union had the conduct of the business ; and being a ze alous man, a member of an Inn of C ourt, and thoroughly conversant with the law which regards his office, seems to have judged it proper to pass over the counsel usually practising at Clerken well, and to give a brief to Mr. Pashley, a barrister, who is a stranger there, but in Mr. Corder's judgment, a more com petent lawyer. Now, Mr. Prendergast, Mr. Ballan tine, and a few other barristers are in possession of almost the whole practice at Clerkenwell, and of a good share of that at the Old Bailey. It is not every barrister who can or would suc ceed in these Courts ; and the few who do so are more than usually jealous of their monopoly-, and use it in a fashion of despotism and caprice towards their clients which it will be our duty to illustrate on some other occasion. Mr. Prender gast has the reputation of being a great proficient in the language and other accomplishments more peculiar to these Courts, and his power over a timid prosecutor or witness may be inferred from that which he brought to bear, on the present occasion, upon Sir J. Hamilton, one of the Justices of p th re e f ß er e a nch c , on w t l e i s o t , h with the b i i s a s e p k i g r u it a , r w ds ill in do t u h b e tl d e o s c s k h , hereafter prefer with a gentleman of the Clerkenwell bar. The barristers who flourish in the hot atmosphere of Clerkenwell do not thrive in that of Westminster Hall. They seek to establish a prin ciple of compensation for this disadvantage. Nature and education shut them out from Westminster Hall ; it behoves them, therefore, to barricade themselves the more securely inderkenwell. Recently the monopoly of two or three barristers at the Old Bailey has been broken up by the ap pearance there of a barrister of great natural talents, against whom all the arts which desperation and failing bread sug gest had been practised in vain. Such might be, or may be, the result at Clerkenwell, where, although it has been wonderfully little in use, a knowledge of law would unques tionably give a new rival a dangerous advantage over the established men. Mr. Pashley is a successful sessions lawyer, as those who read the reports of sessions cases argued in the Court of Queen's Bench may well know ; and it was, there fore, a most flagrant attack by Mr. Corder on the interests of the established Clerkenwell bar, to bring Mr. Pashley to their sessions. It may now be seen why Mr. Prendergast took on him self the defence of the keepers of the seventeen brothels, without being retained by them: why he suddenly finds. that Mr. Corder's briefs, which had never been objected to before, cannot now be held : why he rises as amicus curia, and shows his amiable disposition towards the Court by the singular earnestness of his compliments to Sir J. Hamilton ; and why all the bar of Clerkenwell, by their other mouth piece, 111 r. Payne, testify to their conviction that Mr. Pashley could not be heard upon Mr. Corder's instructions, and that Mr. Corder was acting illegally in depriving some regular attorney of his fees. There is no doubt, that in point of law Mr. Prendergast and the other counsel were in the right—and that clerks of boards of guardians, and vestry clerks, are no longer com petent to act in matters of litigation for their unions and parishes as they have done. But the Clerkenwell bar gene. , rally displays great equanimity when mistakes in law are made, and they were never known before to object to briefs from whatever source they came ; and our readers, therefore, with out our explanation, might have been unable to account for the mystery of their extraordinary excitement in the present case. In reference to the subject of the above remarks, we under stand that the promoters of the Attorneys' Bill of last session had no intention to deprive the non-professional clerks of boards of guardians, of the power to make applications to justices on behalf of their boards; and that it is intended to restore to them the power by means of a clause to be inserted in the Poor-law Amendment Bill, now in its passage through the House of Commons. „ --- ARABIC SUPERSTITION . — AIRIIOITIet is said to have possessed a tame pigeon, which he taught secretly to eat out of his ear, in order that his followers might believe him, through means of this bird, to receive some divine communi cations.

PAYERS. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. am a farmer's son, and I do not think there see many farmers' sons in the country who hive exerted themselves more than I have to place Sir Robert Peel and the Conservatives in power, but if I ever do so again, may God forgive me. Sir, we have been deceived, sacrificed, plundered, robbed. - - I have had a little leisure lately to investigate political manoeuvres to the bottom, and, perhaps, you will afford me space to show how this has been done. Suppose a farmer has taken a farts of 200 acres, at a rental of 30s. per acre, and with a reliance that his land lord and Members of Parliament would suppoit a corn law that shall maintain for his corn the average price of Bs. per bushel. The average annual produce of an acre of such land in 22 bushels, which, with corn at Bs. per bushel, is 8/. 16s. per acre. Suppose that his landlord and M.P.'s (having thus let the farm and made promises) " turn round, jump " Janies," (aye, and jump " Robert,") and support a Minister and measures that shall reduce (and have reduced) the value of his corn to 6s. 6d. per bushel—and this, mark, without passing any measure declaring that the rents agreed to be paid should.fall in proportion to the fall in corn, as tested by the averages ;—this differ ence of ls. 6d. per bushel is 335. per acre for the 22 bushels, or 3301. per year! being 30/. more than all the rent agreed to be paid Now, all this has, on the average, been filched from the pockets and capital of the tenant farmers of this country, and no wonder is it that the Bank of England is full of gold, and that the farmers of Ireland and Wales have become seditious, and that those of England are fast becoming Liberals, at being thus hocus-pocused out of it. This gold in the Bank is nothing more nor less than the draws, and gains, and savings of the great moneyed capitalists, sinecurists, and even landlords, by the last notable introduction of the " Conservative" Premier's " prinetple of cheapness." I will show how this is effectect-for, even the latter (the landlords), and there can be no doubt upon that of the former. (The gains and savings of the moneyed man and sinecurist, from buying things so much cheaper, are without any draw back whatever, if the matter of the income-tax be ex cepted ; and even in this case the farmer or other pro ducer is called upon to pay it as well as he.) With corn at Bs. per bushel, it took from the farmer 750 bushels to pay his rent of 3001. With corn at 6s. 6d. per bushel, the landlord extracts from him 923 bushels. Suppose that, in imitation of the crafty rremier, the landlord makes for one year a return of 10 per cent., he still obtains 831 bushels, or a gain of 81 bushels, whilst all the difference between the 750 or 923 bushels— namely, 173 bushels, or about 20 per cent —becomes in all subsequent years a permanent actual increase of his rent. _ _ _ _ Thus the landlord pockets a considerable portion of the farmer's total loss of 3301. per year each. He then mocks him by telling 'him to " buy guano" (when his money's gone), to improve his (the landlord's) land, and to produce more. Sir, the work has now been done, and I know suffi cient (having studied the laws that regulate the currency as well as those that regulate corn) of what must inevi tably be the low price of corn under the present Corn Bill, taken in conjunction with the spoliating Currency Bill of 1819—a measure which made a difference of at least 2s. per bushel, or 440/. a year to the tenant farmer of 200 acres—that I would recommend every tenant farmer in the country to join the Anti-Corn-law League, provided the League will join them in forming an Anti- Currency-law League, for the purpose of repealing Peel's Currency Bill of 1819. By an equitable, and sound, and enlightened Currency Bill, leaving gold to find its actual level in value, like all other things, and as they do in all other countries, in place of maintaining for it a fixed or monopoly price of 3/. 17s. 10id. per ounce, corn may be ensured on the average of seasons, even with an entire free trade in it, at 7s. 6d. per bushel.' Under the present monopoly given to gold, and the mere abortion of protection to corn, and actual discourage ment to trade and consumption, it will not average 6s. per bushel. Sir, I see by an announcement in the papers, that what is termed the Anti-League, is about to have " ri great national meeting" at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Monday next. My advice to the tenant farmers is, be cautious and yet awake—firm and resolute, and, if needs be, even savage, or this " Great National" League of yours (?) will prove to you " a great national" humbug. (What are words put into the Dictionary for if they are not to be used ?) If your landloids can succeed in putting you against the League, in throwing you off the right scent, in setting you to hunt and fight your fellow-producer and fellow-sufferer, they will pocket the last gain of 17$ bushels or 20 per cent., without being seen, and comp the same trick over you again in the course of a fe* more years, when you shall, in obedience to the advicP of your "friend," the Premier, have sunk the relics of your capital in " guano" and produce more for them'! At present they say they won't alter the currency lavis in order to restore, or relieve, or do justice to both you and the manufacturers, because, forsooth, the spoliating law of 1819 was the handy-work of the man whose slave they were, and are, and whose slaves they sti I wish to be. For the same, and, in addition to this, t e still more unworthy reason of direct pecuniary intere they tell you to fight their battle for certain high ren s for them, and uncertain prices, or rather certain lo' prices for you. Tell them that you have been flew once too often. Tell them that this won't do. T 1 them that they possess the power to see that justice s done to the country, and that if they do not do it no , whilst they may save their estates, you will join tEe League and they may lose them. Tell them that k y maintaining Peel's law of a fixed or monopoly price for gold, your produce has fallen from 10s. 6d. to 6s. per bushel ; the manufacturers calico from 10d. to 4d. Or yard ; and the labour of the silk, calico, and stocking weaver from U. 7s. to almost 7s. per week. Tell them that by this hocus-pocus and "sliding down" in the money value of almost everything, it now takes about double the number of bushels of corn, and pi eces o f calico, and L• , puirs, of stockings, and days of labour, and everythipg ;'else tkprovide for the taxation under Peel in time of peace that it did under Pitt in time of war ! ! Tell them this " great fact." Tell them that this has doubled the value of Sir Robert Peel's funded property, of the Duke of Wellington's property and income, and of Lord Brou n ham's and all other pensions and that you now see through it. Tell them that you are thus made; to pay nine per cent. interest for all the corn and labor, &c., that were lent from 1797 to 1815, amounting to 600,000,0001. in declared value, and this whilst money/ is at three per cent. ! Tell them that under the present monstrous monopoly for gold, and no monopoly for either corn, or manufacturers, or labour that is worth a rush, you are being only cajoled, hoodwinked, eud robbed. Tell them that that monstrous monopoly—the Bank Charter—shall be broken up, now the opportunlty offers, and that paper-money shall be advanced to, itnd be owed to be issued by, all persons who deposit amjle real security, and pay an interest of two-and-a-I)pH* per cent. thereupon to Government for the privilege ; and that the amount of the said notes shall be such' as shall give the labourers and farmers, and operatives, and manufacturers, an advance of 20 per cent. upon the present unremunerating prices, and gold and silver' be left to find their natural level in value. Mr. Editor, by such a course the farmers and ma facturers will force both the gold monopolists, with I at their head, and the landlord monopolists, with Ri mond at their head, to do justice. The farmer will placed in the position he was prior to his last fleec in 1842—the manufacturers will insure freedom of MI in money as well as in corn. Farmers ! demand that your League shall be an Anti- Currency-law League, and Anti-Corn-law Leaguers rill join it. Manufacturers ! assist the farmers, in an Anti-Currency-law League, and they will join ur Anti-Corn-law League. Both the gold lords an the 1 , landlords will then be forced—if shame itself do not the work—to abandon both the spoliating Currency Bi of 1819, and the Corn-law Bill of 1815, as patched and i re patched until 1842. At present they are making the tenants', and manufacturers', and shopkeepers' capital. and the labour of the poor, at starvation wages, pay, for the double taxes, &c., in peace as in war, and for t heir rents, &c., being raised 50 per cent. in 1819, and again 20 per cent. in 18 42 , without the victims perceiving , the hocus-pocus juggle by which it has been effected. I You shall hear from me again. March 1, 1844. A FARMER'S SO*. P.S.—As there is nothing like being " up and doik," if those of the hundred thousand readers of The Sun, who are either members of the League, Anti-League, farmers, or advocates of a sound p aper currency, secured upon the property of the country, and approve of these views, will address a letter to that effect through; the columns of The Sun, a compact may be quickly formed that will ensure justice being at length done to the country. At present the sinecure and annuitant Class of this country are getting 30,000,000/. per year more than their just rights, and allowing foreigners to gain a further 20,000,00/. by maintaining gold at the present fixed price. • i ____ CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.—On Monday a Jong nquiry took place before Mr. Payne, the coroner, at the workhouse, Mint-street, Southwark, relative to the death of Elizabeth Hobbs, aged thirty, who, it was alleged, had' died from a blow received from a man named Carroll, the landlord of the house in which she resided, the particulars of which appeared in The'Sun of yesterday. After the examination of several witnesses, Mr. 'William Rendle, the parish surgeon, said that he had made a post mortem examination of the body, and he found several bruises about the head and face, the most serious of which was behind the ear. He was of opinion that concussion of the brain, the result of the blows, and a simultaneous flow of blood to the brain, probably arising from excitement or passion, was the cause of death. She would not have died but for the blows. The Coroner said, that as the jury might return a verdict of manslaughter, it would be advisable to have Carroll apprehended before the conclusion of the inquest, in order to bind over the witnesses to appear at the next sessions to give evidence against him ! The inquiry was then adjourned until Friday next. One-third of " Whole Term" Premium may remain unpaid at 5 per cent. cotnpound interest, as a debt upon the policy for life, or may be paid off at any time without notice.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Lord Worsley last night renewed his no tice of motion " for the appointment of a Select Commit tee to inquire into the mode of appointment, the duties, and the present system of remunerating the clerks to jus tices at petty sessions in England and Wales, and to report • the evidence and their opinion thereon to the House." The lateness of the period at which his Lordship brought this subject before the House of Commons last year, induced him to postpone it to a future session. The motion now stands for Tuesday, the 12th of March. The present system which, we have reason to believe, Lord Worsley will attempt to reform, is fraught with evils which, but to state, is to ensure their condemna tion from all who are not personally interested in their preservation from exposure to the public eye, and eradication from the forms of justice. The first of these evils belongs to the mode of remunerating the clerks in petty sessions. This is at present by fees upon summary convictions. A petty assault, or an offence under the Wilful Damage Act, for which on con viction the magistrates deem a fine of sixpence, or a shilling, sufficient punishment, is increased, in the ratio of shillings to pence, by the " costs of conviction." With a special reference to the subject of Lord Worsley's motion, we have, from week to week, looked through the reports of the proceedings in petty sessions, as given by the provincial journals of several counties; and we state, as the result of our investigation, that the general amount of costs, on a summary conviction for a trifling offence, averages twelve shillings ; while the average amount of fine inflicted for such offences does not exceed a shilling— in many instances the penalty was considera bly less. But, whether the fine were one shillingj or twenty, the " costs" were the same ! This system—now sought to be amended, if not al-' together changed for one more just and equitable—isj not less impolitic to the county rate-payers than it is) manifestly oppressive to the poorer classes. The poor labourer who, by ignorance or accident, becomes subject to the fine of a shilling, would find the payment of that sum sufficiently onerous—especially when the loss : of his day's wages, occasioned by his attendance before the justices for the hearing of his case, is added toj the fine. But this he might pay. The privations of e month might permit him to scrape together the amount( of the penalty. We scarcely need remark, that he must subject himself and family to severe privations td enable him to do so out of his wages of 7s. or 8s per week. But when the justice's clerk announce the amount of costs; his poverty frequently preveat him from attempting the arduous undertaking of pay ment. The alternative is " a month," or " six weeks imprisonment," in the county prison, in default of pay ment—according as' the magistrates compute the pay, ment of the penalty by a period of incarceration of the person, where the emptiness of the purse precludes the possibility of atoning for the shilling delinquency in any other way. Then come the charges of the constable for conveying the defaulter to gaol—his food and other expenses therein—loss of his place of work, caused by compulsory absence from his labour—the paruchi assistance which his wife and family will probabl require during his imprisonment ! Add to these t contamination to which the man has been exposed 13.)r associating with poachers and thieves in the prison- 1 - the stigma which rests upon him, and the suspi cion with which he is regarded, and the consequent dis inclination to engage him as a workman by the farmers, if he be an agricultural labourer, or by the tradesmep, if he be a mechanic—for he has been the tenant of a gaol !—and some of the effects of sending a poor man to prison, to associate with those who are and ought to be subjected to . suck restraint and punishment, in de fault of, payment of costs, will be seen. That the con sequences -of , doing so are here rather under than over stated, is well knoihi by those who have had an oppor tunity of watching .the operations of the system in the country generally, and especially in the agricultural districts. What objection, then, can be brought against paying the clerks to justices in petty sessions out of the county rate? . Paying them by costs on summary coo victions subjects the ratepayers to a large increase by the items we have enumerated, and by the consequencps we have described in the above*summary. STANDARD.—In the House of Lords, - .•last niglit, Lord Brougham called the attention of the House and of the public to a late trial and conviction of an indivi dual in the state of Louisiana (United States), fpr aiding in the escape of a slave. For this offence the law of Louisiana imposes the penalty of death, and the unhappy convict has been ordered for execution on the 26th of neptt month. The N o bl e an d L earne d L or d di sc l a i me d any purpose of interfering with the independent autho rity of the country in which this frightful and moist disgusting tragedy is impending, or even of censuring the laWs which lead to consequences so hideous ; .his only object, he said, was to save the threatened victim, if possible, by presenting to the people 'of Louisiana the view which would be taken in Europe of his destruction. Lord Brougham, in the part he has taken, has acted with judgment and good taste, worthy of his humanity. True, we as Englishmen have no right to question the authority of an American qo vernment, or to censure its laws4whatever may be the pri vate opinion of each of us upo n - those laws. But, as men, we have a right to protest against an act of barbarous inhumanity, wherever threatened, or wherever perpe trated. " Homo sum, et humani nihil a me alienum puts," said the Heathen poet ; and as Christians 'we owe a peremptory duty to exercise all the means that lawfully we can to prevent the commission of an atrocious crime. Now a strong and indignant expression of opinion presents means within our reach, and means which we are bonnd to use ; and .to such an expression Lord Brougham's notice summons the country, at least summons the press, which reflects the public feeling. Public opinion, according to Mr. Locke, possesses an influence upon the actions of men more power ful than the sanctions of religion and of law, and it is certainly more prompt than either in the exercise of . its influence ; but there is, if ;we may so speak, a public opinion of the conduct of nations, as there is a public opinion of the acts of individuals among nations ; and if the United States will maintain a respectable character in the family of civilised nations, they must respect , the opinions which foreigners form of their pro ceedings. We readily imitate Lord Brougham's wise example, in abstaining from all offensive topics, while considering this particular mat ter; but we cannot help congratulating the nations which have expelled the use of slavery upon their escape from temptation to cruelty of the most terrible kind, *which they owe to that expulsion—a temptation which has unfortunately most force wherever the freemen are most free. An indifference to the lives and hap piness of fellow creatures, is the blackest stain upon the Roman character—a stain from which the brightest names in Roman history are not free ; but this had its origin in the use of slavery—for when men are once made familiar with bloodshed in the murder of slaves, they will soon redden their hands in the blood of fellow-citizens. We will not ask whether this progress to creel barbarism has taken place to any extent in the south ern and western States of . the American common wealth, because we would avoid every offensive allusion; but we point with pride to the freest people in the world, and the' people who for the longest period have been free in themselves, and free from the contact of slavery—we point with pride to the people of England, distinguished above all other people on the face of the earth, by a horror of bloodshed, - that we would think instinctive to the Anglo-Saxon race did we not unhappily see that some of that race, when thrown into the society of slavery, have lost the glorious distinction. Let us hope that Lord Brougham's notice will have its desired effect, and that we shall not have to add to the proofs of the degrading influence of slavery one more odious, because proving a cruelty more deliberate and more diffused than any we have yet witnessedifoo. Great and romantic events never operate so fully or at least so inspiringly, upon the generation which wit nesses them, as upon those which succeed, when fancy adds her colouring to truth.—Foreign Review. ~~i ♦ J..E .‘, 0 *, ) ,......... e:2 l -- - A/Z . ,• 7- ----72, ---- __, --___ NEW LEAGUgn""` .. .-r ( )" A new League, under the title ;...s i thelmproved -\ 0 Currency League," has been ori d, in the me- . tropolis, • and is holding its wee . 3c - ': .eetings every ,• 3 / 4 ' k p ite Friday evening, at the Partheniu /id:. .ips, St. Mar- ':3.1/r 4 f tin's-lane- The following petitiola , *arnmouslY.-,,,-- y. agreed to at it' s fi rs t meeting, and s..

Parlia ment assembled. "The humble Petition of Members of the ' Im proved Currency League,' and other 'persons in public meeting assembl e d, at t h e },'arthenium Rooms, in the City of Westminster, " Showeth,—That it is the opinion of your pet, Wolters . that the present system of inadequate gold, and iinettu nting and unsound paper currency, is rapidly pauver ising, deinoralising, and enslaving the people. " That your petitioners believe that the part of limit ing or Making all money subordinate to only one par ticular land very scarce description of property, auel. . . that an article of foreign produce, and of_ uncertaini supply, termed cow, andmaintaming for it a fixed sten-- da,rd of value, is in the highest degree impolitic, as well- . as unjust. • , . -.. " That its impolicy is shown by the oft-recurrinx panics and stagnation in banking, mercantile, and E!gri.- cultural affairs, whereby the banking, trading, agricul tural, and other • classes of society, are frequently compelled to make ruinous sacrifices of their property, and labour ; and that its injustice is apparent front the fact that under it, as compared with the currency which the country possessed from the years 1797 to 1819, and when gold was left to find its natural level in value, everything except money has become so much cheaper, or, in other and synonymous terms, money itself so much dearer, that it now requires, with the labour of most classes of artisans at 2s. per day in place of 4s. per day, calico at 4d. in place of at 9d. per yard, corn at 6a... instead of at 10s. 6d. per bushel, and other articles, the produce of home industry, in the same proportion, about: double the quantity of labour, calico, corn, and other necessaries of life, to provide for the taxation of the country. _ • "That, under the peculiar position of this country, with a demand upon it of 50,000,000/. per year to pro vide for pensions, sinecures, annuities, and salaries, of nominally unchanged and unchanging, but of thus really increased and still increasing amount, almost another 50,000,000/. per year, or an additional 250 millions of days of labour per year, or of about the same increased proportion of calico, corn, and other necessaries of life, have, since the year 1819, thus silently and almost imperceptibly, but virtually and actually, been obtained from the tax-payers of This country; and that such an increase of its taxation 16 obviously sufficient to account for the difficulties of thew country, the unprofitableness of trade, and the scarcity of employment and low rate of wages for labour. " That, as in addition to the foregoing, your petitioners apprehend a still further decline in the value of the labour and produce of this country, arising from a belief that, notwithstanding the impolitic encouragement given by this country to the owners of foreign gold mines, in maintaining for gold the present fixed standard price of 3L 175.10 id. per ounce, and leaving all its banking And trading establishments so completely dependent there upon—gold is an article that will not be increased itr the same ratio as it is the natural tendency of the popu lation and powers of production of this great, and intel ligent, and scientific country to increase. They there fore feel their imperative duty, as tax-payers, and espe cially such of them as are occupied in productive industry, to petition your Honourable House for a redress of these grievances. " In respect to the laws affecting the paper money of the country, your petitioners believe that it would be less impolitic in your Honourable House to enact that a favoured company of bakers should be permitted to dole out, at their own price or pleasure, all the bread that is required within sixty-five miles of the metropolis, than that any particular and irresponsible clars of her Ma jesty's subjects should possess a charter to supply all the money within the same most important part of her Majesty's dominions, inasmuch as the former (bread) is only one necessary of life, and it is the latter (money) that commands every necessary of life. " Your petitioners, therefore, pray your Honourable House to take into your serious consideration the fol liming proposals :—That in place .of basing the cur rency entirely upon a very 'scarce; uncertain; 'and fleet:- ing foreign metal, you found it distinctly upon the _available real or real and funded property of the coun try; and that, in lieu of one law for a portion of her Ma jesty's subjects; who are proprietors of the Bank of England, a second and third for bankers in England and Wales, and a still different one, allowing to bankers in Scotland and Ireland a privilege that is denied to those of England and Wales— that of issuing one pound notes, you make one uniform law for the entire kingdom, and the entire people. That your Honourable House ap point a board independent of the Government, but re sponsible to the Privy Council, Parliament, and the country, in whom shall be vested the power and exclu sive right of issuing paper money, for the general good of the country; and that such board be empowered to make advances thereof to such persons as shall consent to deposit double the amount of real or funded securities, and pay an interest of two or two and a half per cent. per annum interest thereupon. That such notes be for sums of one pound and upwards and their total number or amount such as shallbe found necessary to give the heavily taxed producers and industrial classes of her '.Majesty's loyal subjects, such an advance upon the pre sent low and unremunerating prices for their produce and labour as your Honourable House may consider their past and present hardships justly entitle them to obtain. That such notes be at all times a legal tender in discharge of taxes, and all other payments, but re deemable at the office of issue in either silver or gold at. the market price of such metals, as from time to time may be carefully computed by the state of the ex changes, &c., and published in the London Gazette. " That your petitioners believe that the enactment of a measure of this kind by your Honourable House, would greatly tend to emancipate the industry of this great mercantile country alike from undue subjection to the influence of foreign gold and hostile foreign tariffs. They believe also that it would, in a corresponding manner, restore the monetary laws, and finances, and trade, and agriculture, and labour of the country to a healthy and satisfactory state. Your petitioners there fore risk your Honourable House to pass it into law ; and, as in duty bound, will ever pray. • , Signed on behalf of the meeting, " MARTIN NUNN, Chairman." MR. LEVER'S NEW WORK, ILLUSTRATED CRUIKSIIANK.—The numerous admirers of " The Confes sions of Harry Lorrequer," " Charles O'Malley," " Our Mess," &c., will be delighted to hear that Mr. Colbum, of Great Marlborough-street, announces a new work from Mr. Lever's pen for immediate publication. " Arthur O'Leary ; his Wanderings and Ponderings in Many Lands," is the title of this new production, which will doubtless be eagerly looked for by all who have derived amusement from Mr. Leyer's former works. Great additional attraction will be given to " Arthur O'Leary," from the fact of its being illus trated by the celebrated George Cruikshank, whose pencil can hardly fail of finding a host of congenial subjects in the dashing sketches of " Harry Lorrequer." THE WOOD PAVEMENT IN CHEAPSIDE.—SEWERS I COURT, GumpirALL.—The Paving Committee, in their re port, having recommended that the paving of Cheapside should be forthwith commenced, orders have been given to Mr. Stevens to complete the street with wood, according to Per ring's safety system, of which a specimen was laid down last year, westward of Bow Church tower, in Cheapside, the work to commence this day (Monday). The policemen on duty in Cheapside have kept an account of the number of accidents which have occurred to horses during the recent alternation of rainy and frosty weather, upon the stone pave ment, and upon Perring's, Rankin's, and Carey's wood pave ments respectively ; and it is expected that the City Com missioner will forwith furnish a correct return to the City , authorities. We regret to be obliged to state that the Com missioners of Sewers seemed to have adopted a resolute fancy for the filth and puddle of their streets, which are in several places impassable to any other individuals. CANTERBURY. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.-011 Tuesday last a large rat was seen running from the forage store in the Cavalry barrack-yard, Canterbury, which was seized and killed by a one-year lamb of the Southdown breed, the property-of Mr. R. Wall, who keeps the Canteen. The lamb is a most docile creature, and has been brought up in the house. The ewe dying at the time it was dropped, it has been the companion of a litter of Newfoundland dogs from that time. Dover Chronicle.

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.—The following intelli gence appears in the Journal de Havre :—" The Ajax whaler has arrived, bringing news from the Sandwich Islands three months later than that previously received by the Elizabeth. We have already announced that Vice-Admiral Thomas, after having re-established King liamehameha in his rights of sovereignty, had concluded a convention in 1843, by which enormous privileges were given to British subjects. Since then the state of things has not changed, and, though disavowing the act of Lord Paulet, the English Admiral has abstained from repairing any of the complaints occasioned t* French interests, and particularly to our consul, M. du Dolt. M. du Doit had refused to exhibit his powers to the English commission, instituted by Lord Paulet to re place the Sandwich Governor, and on his refusal, that 'com mission, after having announced that it did not recognise the French Consul, put seals on the house and papers of M. du Doit. This state of affairs remains the same, and Admiral Thomas has respected it, under pretence of leaving all the responsibility upon its author. The Ajax left Ilonalulu on the 31st of October, without seeing the Reine Blanche, which must at that time have been on its way from Otaheite to the Sandwich Islands. Captain Leteller gives a melancholy ac count of the state of our fishermen in those seas, and says that they are in great need of protection. It is to be observed, that it is at the moment when Admiral Dupetit Thouars, infermed of this state of things, goes to the Sandwich Islands to sup port the interest of France, that the expedition is leaving our port which carries the order for his recal."
