The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power t• borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of sellcting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cont. 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.

The extensive business conducted by thiE Company places it among the first Institutions in the kingdom for the Assurance of Lives. The assurances proposed to the Company during the year just concluded, amounted to . . • . Z 418,000 Of which the Directors thought it their d u ty t o re j ec t . 70,000 Policies issued to the extent of . . . . 348000 Being upwards of one-third of a million, and adding nearly 11,0001. per annum to the Company's revehue. There are various inducements to assurers in this Company, arising from .the Security which the Company affords—its equitable rates and its characteristic principle of liberality, whether in the settle ment of claims or facilities to assurers. A distinguishing feature, is also to be found in the division of profits, by which it will be observed it confers peculiar advantages upon its policy holders, allowing them in the fullest degree the benefit of survivorship. Policies from this Company steadily continued thus increase very rapidly, holding out great inducement to the best class of lives to give it a preference. A policy opened in 1825 for 1,0004 has been increased in 1840 to . . . ..... . £1,337 10 - - A policy opened in 1826 for 1,0001. has been Increased in 840 to 1,287 10 Later policies in proportion.

ASINGLE BOTTLE of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY may now be obtained in a perfectly genuine state. This convenient arrangement for both vendor and purchaser, and their mutual security against deception, is effected by the use of BETTS'S PATENT METALIC CAPgIILE, made of pure and Solid Metal (not Tin-foil) which completely encloses the cork and mouth of the bottle, and Is embossed with the words " BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, 7, Smithfield-bars," the fac-simile of which is engraved on a label affixed to each bottle. ' In the present day it is impossale to produce anything new and useful without exciting the cupidity of imitators. Already attempts are made to mystify the identity of the original and genuine article, by foisting upon the public the contents of bottles having a Tin-foil covering, falsely denominated "a neat metallic capsule." J. T. BETTS and CO. therefore deem it essential to impress upon purchasers the absolute necessity of comparing the Embossed Capsules with the Labels, as an infallible mode of detecting fraudulent substitutions.

Crawford " wished to present to the House of Commons last week, but which was rejected by the Speaker, owing to its in formality To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament• assembled, who represent the 950,000 British subjects who possess the Elec toral Franchise. The petition of merchants, manufacturers, and traders, at a public meeting held at the King's Arms Jim, Philip Lane, in the ci ty o f L on d on, on Wednesday, the 14th of February, 1844, humbly showed': That your petitioners naturally look to those who act as the representatives of the people in Parliament, not only for the enactment, from time to time, of such new and additional laws as change of circumstances, unavoid able contingencies, and the onward march of events may render necessary, but also for the repeal and amendment of such laws as experience shall have proved to operate injuriously to the interests of the community. That your petitioners have felt, from long and deep experience, that the whole of our fiscal laws and regula tions require to be revised and amended, especially in as far as they promote - the interests of classes or indi viduals at ' the expense of the community, fetter and embarrass commerce, confer on the foreign manufacturer undue advantages over the British manufacturer in all the markets of the world ; and entail on all classes of British subjects, but especially on the operative or working portion of them, many and grievous hardships and privations. BY AUTHORITY of his MAJESTY- the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA.--Will take place irrevocably on the 16th of March, 1844 r-the DISTRIBUTION of NINE beautiful ESTATES of a value from 1,480,054 Francs, and MONEY PRIZES from 150,000 Francs dewn to 125 Francs of Common Bonds, and in +he Special Distribution of the Red Bonds 32,509 gains will be obtained, and each lied Bond must gain whigher or lower amount. Price of a Common Bond, I/. ; a Red Bond, 2/. ; for 5/. Five Common Bonds and one Red Bond ; for 101. Eleven Common Bonds and Two Red ; for 20/. Twenty-three Common Bonds and Three Red. _ _ Tliat with respect to the fiscal laws to which your petitioners refer, as most injuriously affecting society, they beg to direct the attention of your Honourable House, in the first place, especially to those which affect the importation of foreign .grain, and iu the next place to those which affect the importation of sugar. And your petitioners respectfully represent to your Honour able House that they entertain the opinion, that, while all laws affecting trade, manufactures, aid commerce, should tend as much as possible to promote, encourage, and cherish the same, without respect to classes or par ties, all such articles as are deemed and reckoned to be indispensable articles of food ought to be admitted into every port of the kingdom, without being subjected to any tax, duty, or impost, either for the purpose of fiscal revenue, or for the protection of any class or party. That your petitioners feel it to be a severe grievance the they are not so fully and efficiently represented in the Commons' House of Parliament as they ought to be, and as the British Constitution warrants them to claim as their right, inasmuch as they consider the extent of the franchise, as it at present exists, to be by far too limited, and that due protection is not afforded to electors in the conscientious discharge of their electoral duties. That your petitioners•consider it to be the inalienable right of every British subject, nay, of every human being, to be permitted to worship his Creator according to the dictates of his conscience, without thereby rendering himself liable to tax, fine, or prosecution, on the part of any sect or party ; and that, consequently, for a State Church, having rich endowments of its own, to compel those who conscientiously dissent from its creed, or mode of worship, to contribute to its support, is a gross viola tion of the sanctity of conscience, an infringement of the liberty of the subject, and a grievous act of oppression. That your petitioners consider the whole of the courts of law, as at present constituted, to be a severe grievance on account of the heavy expenses which are necessarily incurred by all litigants therein, and the length of time during which all parties interested are kept in suspense before decisions can be obtained. That your petitioners are fully sensible of the serious grievances which are inflicted on the community by the verbosity, tautology, and obscurity of the whole of our statute laws, whereby, instead of simplifying law, and furthering the celerity with which justice should ever be administered, the very attainment of justice is always delayed, and often defeated. That averse as your petitioners would be to obstruct, or unnecessarily delay, the business of your Honourable House, yet so seriously do they feel the pressure of the above-named grievances, and so strongly do they en tertain the opinion that the speedy redress of the same is essential to the happiness, well-being, and prosperity of the community, that, as well-wishers to all ranks and conditions of their fellow-subjects, they feel it to be their duty to call upon your Honourable House, without loss of time, and before you proceed to vote the usual sup plies, to take the said grievances into your most serious consideration; namely, the whole of our fiscal laws, es pecially those affecting the importation of grain and sugar ; the present limited extent of the electoral fran chise, which ought to be greatly enlarged; the state of the law as regards the protection to which every elector is entitled in the discharge of his electoral duties, but which, at present, is often shamefully vio lated ; the state of the laws as regards the church rates, Easter-dues, &c., which, as affecting Dissenters, are unjust in themselves, and subversive of religious freedom ; the present constitution of all our courts of law, both civil and ecclesiastical, the delays and expen siveness of which are severely felt ; and the verbosity, tautology, and obscurity of our statute-laws, which lite rally render them unintelligible to the bulk of mankind, and open up a boundless field for quibbling and wrangling to those whose interest it is to turn their in tricacy to their own account. Apply, without delay, to Messrs. JACOBS and Co., Bankers, Frank fort-on-the-Maine ; or to save Postages, Letters may be addressed to Mr. Jacobs, 34, Wellclosc-square.

To pre. vent mistakes, be Cautious, and Observe, only to be had at 39, A lbemarl e street, Piccadilly, oPpOsite the York lioteL Sza,The possession of power does not contribute strength, unless that power is attained and held by the assistance of justice ; for true strength is not physical, but moral, and until the possessor can show that he has obtained his appearance of strength by no infringement of that law, his strength is but weakness ; not all the pointing to the possession, not all the acclamation of interested followers can satisfy, for there will be a craving after, if it is but a shadow, of his being sus tained by the moral law ; and although, to the superficial ob server, he may prove by, external appearances that he is strong, still his conscience will stand against him, silently but sternly condemning—even-handed justice commending the poisoned chalice to his own lips. The corn-law, setting aside its manifest evils, removing the benefit to commerce that will arise from its abolition, con demned itself by the manner in which it was passed, and not all the sophistry of men, or the violent logic of monopolists, can remove the knowledge of its having been obtained phy sically, the moral power being trampled on. But that power, although it may be tyrannised over, cannot be de stroyed—it will assert its sovereignty, and the fact of its operating gradually on the mind proves its integrity. Injus tice, not capable of bearing the light of reason, seeks the aid of force to enforce its demands. This was the case in 1815—such is the case now. That law, passed by the gleam of the bayonet, and the threatened roar of artillery (ever the companions of moral weakness), will be abolished by no such means as these, but by the innate strength of justice. I have been led to the above remarks by observing the Anti-League's proceedings. These men have the possession, have the majority in the House to keep it ; yet they bend. Does not this prove that there is a power above the purchase of man, before which injustice quails, and is compelled in abject submission to crouch ? It does ! For— " Thrice is he arm'd that hath his quarrel just, And he but naked, though lock'd up in steel, Whose conscience with injustice is attainted." Yours, &c. OBSERVER. Devonport, Feb. 27, 1844. SMUGGLING.—On Saturday morning James Field, the master and owner of the smack, Lord Howe, 25 tons burden, which was captured by a boat's crew belonging to the coast-guard station, at Garrisoß-point, Sheerness, on the night of the 18th instant, with a large quantity of contraband spirits on board, and John Gooding and Phineas Friday Webb, the crew of the vessel, were brought before the Mayor and Aldermen of Rochester, charged, on the information of Mr. William Sawyer, the collector of the customs there, with being found in a certain vessel on the high seas, such vessel having on board 252 gallons of brandy and 128 gallons of Geneva, subject to forfeiture, contrary to the 4th of Wm. IV., c. 13. The prisoners all pleaded guilty. The master said he was driven to it by distress. Sentenced to seven m on th s ' imprisonment in the House of Correction at Maidstone, with hard labour. DEATH OF A GRAVEDIGGER FROM LOCK-JAW. —One of the gravediggers of St. Peter's, in the Waterloo road, has recently died under very extraordinary circum stances. It appears, from information obtained from An derson, the beadle, that the deceased, whose name was John Larkin, while occupied, about two months since, in digging a grave in the church-yard, by some means got a splinter run into his hand from the remains of an old coffin. He took no notice at the time of what he considered a trivial occurrence, and proceeded in his daily avocation. At last, the hand became very much inflamed, and he was obliged to have medical aid. The symptoms became very serious, and eventually lock jaw ensued, which caused his death. The body was to have been buried yesterday, but it was thought necessary to make some inquiries as to the real nature of the death, and the surgeon having stated that the splinter had caused the lock-jaw, the Coroner had been ap plied to, as to whether an inquest should not be held. The friends of the deceased are very much opposed to it, because the injury occurred so long ago. THE 92D HIGHLANDERS.—Two companies of this:gallant corps, under the command of Major Atherley, ar rived at Perth on Saturday last. The remainder 9f the regi ment sailed from Leith last week for Aberdeen, where its head quarters are, in the meantime, to remain ; and two com panies are to be detached to Fort George. The appearance of most of the men indicated the unhealthy climates in which they had lately served. Of nearly 600 young and active men, who composed the regiment when it left this country for foreign service, nearly ten years ago, only 143 have returned. It was peculiarly unfortunate in most of its stations Shortly after its arrival at Gibraltar, the cholera broke out and carried all fifty from the ranks. At Malta, a similar visitation next year, caused the loss of twenty-five in a few days. At Dominica, and other of the West India islands, the yellow fever proved very fatal ; so much so, that it did• not complete the usual period of three years' service in that quarter. Lieutenant-Colonel M'Donald, who accompanied the gallant corps in all its services, is a native of the Perthshire Highlands, in which he has extensive estates; and his tenantry, last week, celebrated in true Highland style, the safe return of that gallant officer, with his lady and family, from the trying vicissitudes of foreign service.—Perth Courier. Sir Robert Peel and Sir Thomas Fremantle had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at the official residence of the Right Hon. Gentleman in Downing-street. NERVOUS DEAFNESS.—" ARNICA m oNTAxA. "—A paper of considerable importance to sufferers from nervous deaf ness was read on Saturday afternoon, by Dr. Cronin, Craven street, Strand (physician to the Free Dispensary for Asthma), on the efficacy of " arnica montana " in the cure of this distressing affection. The lecturer observed that deaf ness was more prevalent than was generally imagined —that there was a marked difference between nervous derangement and structural changes, and that he believed the frequent failure of aurists in the cure of deafness arose from a total inattention to the difference between disorders arising from either mere torpor or increased irritability, and those to which were superadded structural alterations. He next called attention to the natural history, chemical constitution, and medical properties of the arnica, observing that, having found it highly beneficial in several distressing nervous af fections, he tried it in nervous deafness, and had much plea sure in alluding to the cases of several highly respectable per sons completely relieved by its use. Dr. Cronin then com mented on the mutilation practised by some aurists of re moving the uvula and glands of the throat, and remarked that operations of this kind tended, from the shock produced on the nervous sytem, to increase, rather than diminish, the disease, and concluded some highly-interesting observations, by stating that the College of Physicians omitted in their last " Pharmacopceia" this valuable remedy, but hoped it would be restored in their next. —Standard. An abstract of the entire will shortly be published by Mr.-Cronin. • S 11 N _2 ll 4 ,7( - F._ HORSE-RACING BILL. 44" (From the Times.) Everybody ha s rea d th e trave l s of Lemuel Gullive _ ; 41 . everybody must recollect th e accoun t which he'gives sojourn among the race of the Houyhuhums,- and the - versation which he held with a class of beings who • partdokssess• - more of the equine than of human nature. But no one, that Aid S mxy we are aware of, has turned the satirical lesson of Jonathan Swift to the same account that our modern legislators have, . They are imbued deeply with its spirit—at least with its bet ter spirit ; for they do not suffer their feelings to be warped by a detestation of the Yahoos into an acrimonious misan thropy, but combine their affection for horses with a love to their fellow -creatures ; and even when they seem to be most intent upon a race, are most earnestly prosecutink the great work of benevolence. They sat with admirable • patience through a ten nights' debate upon Ireland and the Irish.- Every topic the most irrelevant that fancy could provoke— every grievance the most anomalous that querulousness could speak out—every remedy the most impossible that quackery could suggest—was listened to, argued, refuted, re- • peated, cheered, groaned, repeated again, until even the j uvenhe Members of the House spoke by anticipation whole sentences of reproductive harangues. The virtues of the Whigs in general, and of Lord Normanby in particular—the merits of the Appropriation Act—the propriety of enriching May nooth, and the expediency of pillaging the Establishment— ' nay, the whole of the jury-list and the names of the missing . members—were before Saturday morning household words in the mouths of beardless' law-makers. •But, patient, at-, tentive, and animated as the House was throughout thitt tedious debate, it must be admitted that it did not evince that thorough and heartless zeal which is manifested on mat ters of near interest. Ireland was a good theme for Parlia- •-• mentary oratory, but it was not a subject which came home to the bosoms and business of the orators; it 'was a capital peg whereon to hang stalactites of imagery and antitheses, but it had to be " go t up "— men were obliged to "-cram " something about Strongbow and the Irish invasion, the pale, penal laws, Catholic conspiracies, Protestant mas sacres, incorruptible Parliaments, Orange magistrates, and Repeal policemen. Consequently there is an airof effort about the most successful of the speeches. There is wanting that freshness of thought and freedom of language which characterises the essays of men speaking on a sub ject which they understand, and the importance of which they deeply feel. How different was the tone and the feeling of the speakers on the' Horse-racing Bill ! There was a • freedom—an abandon—which declared at once the genuine ness of their sentiments, and justified the warmth of the language in which they were expressed. There all the constraint, all the uneasines s , a ll t h e stiffness, which are the signs of men speaking on things about which they either know or care nothing, were lost. Each man spoke from the fulness of his heart, if not with all the graces, at least with all the force, of which the vernacular is suscep tible. And it must be allowed that the cause was a noble' . one," and worthy not only of the enthusiasm which was kindled, but also of the logic which" was arrayed, in its de fence. "Horses and wagers"—" the manly sport" of betting more than 101. at a time—the lofty object of maintaining the blood of English horses unimpaired, and transmitting the purity of their breed through distant generations by the simple process of stopping qui tam actions, this was the prin ciple in support of which the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain was inspirited to fulfil its duties with a celerity which, but for the vast importance of the subject, might have been termed indecent. But, high and momentous as these considerations are—generous as is the nature of the horse, wonderful his love of praise, admirable his energy in earningit, super-brutal as is his appetency for Queen's Plates and handicaps, superhuman as is his sympathy with the ambition of his master, and worthy encouragement as are all his other virtues—still there was another motive co-equal with, if not superior to this, which impelled the collective wisdom of the nation to take this summary but laudable - method of legislating. It was not for horses alone—albeit they appreciate the virtues of the horse—that the Duke of Richmond and Mr. Wortley spoke. No ; it was for their own species also, and especially-the poorer portion of them. The benefits of the proposed measure to the poorer classes have been as logically deduced from the premises as their salutary operation on the breed of horses. If noblemen and gentlemen are to be subjected to heavy penalties for betting on horse-races, they will not bet ; if they do not bet, half the excitement of racing will be lost; take away the excite ment, and what becomes of the race? Racing will thus be destroyed, and with racing the equine race and all its virtues will vanish from the earth. Again, if races are discouraged, or rendered hazardous to their patrons, and the said pa trons desert them, the race-course will lose all its healthy moral influence on the rural population; the grand stand will be empty"—the course will be unfrequented—the booths will be unknown in the scenes of their former splen dour—gingerbread will cease to glisten, and ginger beer to pop—rouge et noir will no longer attract the speculative cockney—roulette will no longer congregate its assemblage of lords and jockeys, real ladies and equivocallwomen—finally, the pea will no more wriggle under the unconscious thimble. Ascot and Epsom will pass without their great moral lessons, and the virtue of the agriculturists will have received a fatal blow. Those, then, who pretend that the intention of Mr. Wortley's Bill is simply to indemnify certain gentlemen for breaking laws which they ought to have studied, argue as rashly as those who affirm that it is intended to legalize gambling in the higher classes. Its clear and obvious pur pose is —first, to maintain the breed of generous horses; se- condly, to promote the virtue of a moral ; and, lastly, to serve the great ends of civil justice. And we firmly believe that the cause which induced Mr. Wortley to bring on last night the consideration of the report, was simply a determi nation to pave the way for the repeal of all laws which at present restrict the gaining and other innocent diversions of the lower orders. DEATH OF BARON WALLACE.—Lord Wallace died on the 23d inst., at his seat, Featherstone Castle, Northum berland, in the 77th year of his age. The late Baron mar ried the widow of Henry, Viscount Melville, and daughter of the second Earl of Hopetoun, by whom he has left no issue. Lord Wallace was Master of:the Mint, and Vice-President of the Board of Trade under the Wellington Administration, and was raised to the Peerage, in 1828, by the title of Baronffal lace of Knaresdale. Before his elevation to the Upper House, his Lordship sat for Penryn and Weymouth. His Lordship dying without issue, the title becomes extinct. SUDDEN DEATH IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE.—Last even ing Mr. Payne held an inquest, at the Crown, Lambeth road, on the body of Mr. William Barrowes, aged fifty six, a gentleman of independent property, residing in . South Lambeth. It appeared in evidence, that at about one o'clock on Friday deceased called on a widow named Pepper, of King's-row, Snow's-fields, with whom he had formed latterly an acquaintance, and she accompanied him to the above public-house. They entered the parlour, and he ordered a glass of grog and biscuits, and then com menced reading a morning newspaper, and whilst doing so it dropped from his hand, and he fell forward on the table'. TWO persons came to his assistance, and finding that he did not recover, they called Mr. Coulthred, a surgeon, who pronounced him dead, and considered that he died of disease of the heart. Deceased on the forenoon of the fatal occurrence had left in perfect health the house of his brother-in-law, Mr. J. Bar nard, of the Belvidere-road, Lambeth, promising to return to dinner at four in the aftgnoon.—Verdict, " Natural death." MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ORPHAN ASYLUM.--Yester day a general meeting, and the spring election of children into this asylum, took place at the London Tavern. The election was presided over by Captain Henry Nelson, the Treasurer of the Institution. The children of the asylum were present at the meeting, and bad a very neat appear ance, and much interest seemed to be taken in the result of the election, some of the applications being made under the must distressing circumstances. It appears that there are now seventy boys and thirty-six girls in this asylum. No report, or statement of accounts, was read at this meeting, it being reserved for the August meeting; but it appeared from the circular of the Committee, that they regretted the funds would not admit of a greater number than four boys and two girls being elected on this occasion, and most earnestly appealed to the generosity of the public with a view to carry out the intentions of the charity, by doubling the number of admissions at the August election. The poll closed at three o'clock, when, soon after, the names were announced, and the business of the day terminated. On Sunday last the Rev. Mr. Sibthorp received the Holy Communion from the hands of the venerable Pre sident in the chapel of Magdalen College, Oxford, where he is now staying on a visit. The Lord Bishop of St. Asaph has appointed Frederick Bolingbroke Ribbans, Esq., of Corpus 'Christi College, Cambridge, one of the masters of the Birmingham and Edgbaston Proprietary School, to the Head Mastership of the Wrexhain Grammar School. BRUSSELS, FEB. 23.—After several days of dread fully bad weather, during which the snow continued to fall in great quantities, immediately melting, the temperature has suddenly changed to intense cold. Last night the frost was so severe here, that it is feared the navigation of the canals will be again interrupted. NOVEL ASSAULT:—A few' days ago, as a man was at work in a plantation, near the Syston station, on the Mid land Counties Railway, a hare sprung from beneath a hedge, and knocked him down. The man was stunned by the fall, and when he recovered himself he found that his timid assailant Ld actually given him a black eye.—Halifax Guardian. Northumberland House is undergoing a course of re-embellishment, preparatory to the arrival of the Duke and Duchess from Alnwick Castle, for the season.

RAILWAY BUSINESS IN PARLIAMENT.—The follow ing Railway Bills haVe been read a second time, committed, and referred to the Committee of Selection :—Manchester and Leeds (Bradford branch), Huddersfield branch, Leeds and Selby, Manchester and Leeds (Heywood branch), Manchester and Leeds (Bury branch). Norwich and Brandon and the Great Western, the York and Scarborough and the Salisbury branch have also been read a first time. The fol lowing petitions for Bills have likewise been reported :—The Newbury, Basingstoke, London and Southampton, and the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester. YORK., CAMBRIDGE RAILWAY.—A great sensation is created in the Railway Market on account of the almost . certainty of this railway being established. It will give a much easier communication with the north, and will be , of infinite service to the fine agricultural country through which it will pass. It will render the Blisworth and Peter borough line of very little service to the London and Bir-. mingham Company, either as a protective line or as a source of profit.—From a Correpondent. THE NEW ROYAL .N.3xcHANGE4—Yesterday at one . o'clock, Mr. Pullen commenced the sale by auction of the second portion of Bank-buildings, which will comprise the Sun Fire-office, the secretary's - residence, and two other • houses. The disposal of the materials took place in the large room of the Sun Fire-office, and it was crowded throughout the entire proceedings. The competition was very animated, the lots put up being principally purchased by private indi viduals, and not by the trade, "as many of the•articles con sisted of excellent mahogany counters, desks, &c. The day's sale produced about 3001., making 1,600/. for what has already been disposed of. The auction will last two more. days, on which the interior and exterior fittings wil be sold. Twenty eight days will be allowed to remove the whole of the materials. ," Two or A TRADE."-1n our marriage notices is one which records the nuptials of Mr. Outer, " the lion king," on Sunday last, 'to Miss Chapman, of Manchester. The old adage that " two of a trade never agree," was for once disproved by the fact that Mr. Carter's celebrated rival, Mr. Van Amburgh, officiated as greom's-man on 'the occasion. We understand that the two intrepid brute-tamers are inti mate friends; and perhaps as they are the only two in. their • perilous trade, they are above all petty jealousies, and their • only rivalry is as to who shall most fearless " mock the lion • when he roars for prey ;" or, as Shaktere.els!wyre. says, " make leopards tame."—Leeds Intelliyearei. .

The French Government have officially announced that the occupation of Otaheite by Admiral Dupetit Thouars will not be ratified, and the dominions of Queen Pomare are to be placed, as formerly, simply under the protection of France. Accounts from Athens of the 9th state that the National Assembly was still occupied. with the discussion of the dif ferent articles of the Chamber. The country was quite quiet. The 25th of Jannary, which is the anniversary of the King's arrival in Greece, was celebrated with great rejoicings at Athens. Sir Baldwin Walker has now been formally dismissed the Turkish service. The Porte resists his claim to half-pay, and a negotiation is now going on on this subject between Sir S. Canning and the Turkish Government. Roncali, the Spanish General, who commands in the neigh bourhood of Alicant, has transmitted a military report to the Minister of War, in which are these words :—" The officers taken in the_action Eldi have been shot—a sad but just warning to those who, ungrateful and treacherous towards their Queen, have followed the standard of rebellion. M ay this be a salutary example for those who through ambition have been induced to follow their steps." The Swiss Observer says the Swiss Confederation has al lowed the right to an asylum to the Dgke of Bordeaux, and that the French Government has not protested against that resolution. It has simply required that official honours should not be accorded to the itoyal Duke. Count de Rude, the last owner of the château of Ferney, which he purchased of the Marquis de Villette, to whom it was conveyed by Madame Denis, the niece of Voltaire, died lately at the age of 88. LAW AND POLICE. In the Common Pleas, an action on the prosecution of the Commissioners of Customs, was brought against Williams, Alottram, and Horsley, on a charge of defrauding the revenue, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence was de ferred. - At Judges' Chambers, Sergeant's Inn, before Mr. Justice Cresswell, Mrs. Newton, the wife of Mr. Augustus Newton, the barrister, was brought up, before the above lea rne d J u d ge , on a writ oihabeas, in the custody of the Sheriff of Glou cester, in order for her discharge from a writ of capias ad sa tisfaciendum, at the suit of Messrs. Rowe and Norman, the proprietors of the Cheltenham Examiner. The case was ar gued at length, when the Judge said there was no irregularity in the arrest, for the sheriff was perfectly justifiable in issuing the warrant ; but he (the learned Judge) had now no power to detain her, she clearly having no available property. His Lordship then made out the order for Mrs. Newton's libe ration from the Queen's Prison. At the Middlesex sessions, the grand jury having found true bills against the owners of 17 disorderly houses in the parish of St. Clement Danes, Mr. Pashley applied for process to issue against the parties immediately. Mr. Prendergast said that a most important question arose out of this applica tion, for by a recent Act of Parliament all persons not prac tising as attorneys, and not duly enrolled, were strictly pro hibited from sueing out process or discharging any other legal duty appertaining to the profession of a solicitor. The pro cess now sought was prayed for at the instance of Mr. Corder, who was only the clerk to the board of guardians for the Strand union. The Chairman said that he had granted the process, but if the parties chose to resist it they might do so, and appeal to The Queen's Bench. Before a similar applica tion could be again made the Court would give the objection a careful consideration. At Guildhall Mrs. Earnshaw, of Park-street, Camden town, and Miss Emma Wells, who resided with her as a companion, were re-examined, char ge d w ith pur l o i n i ng va rious articles from jewellers' shops. The prisoners were again remanded for a fortnight. A stoker named William Reid was charged before the sit ting Magistrate at Wandsworth, with very serious and most unprovoked assaults upon Mr. John Pearce, the landlord of the Watermen's Arms, Wandsworth, and Mrs. Mary Pearce, his wife. Both cases were fully establisied ; and Mr. Paynter fined the prisoner 20s. for the assault upon Mr. Pearce, and 40s. for the assault upon Mrs. Pearce. The money was paid, and the prisoner ; having given bail to keep the peace for six months, was discharged. COURT-T.afiIIIONABLE. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent is expected to arrive at Clarence House, St. James's, on Friday next, from Frogmore Lodge, on which day the Court is expected to re move from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace. The Duke of Cambridge's dinner to the Directors of the Concerts of Ancient Music will be given on the 13th of the ensuing month. The Duke of Wellington will leave Apsley House to-mor row for Strathfieldsaye. The judges, Justices Cresswell and Wightman, are expected to sleep at Strathfieldsaye p rev i ous to opening the commission at Winchester. The Duke will return to town at the end of the week. The Duchesses of Hamilton and Roxburghe, the Mar chionesses of Breadalbane and Douglas, Countess of Caith ness, Lady E. Pringle, and the leading nobility and gentry of the three Lothians, patronise the grand Celtic ball at the Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh, on Friday next. The Mar quis of Douglas, the Earl of Caithness, Lord Berriedale, and Colonel Mountain, 26th Cameronians, are stewards. We have authority, says an Edinburgh paper of Saturday, to contradict the statement which we inserted in our last, from the Court Journal, regarding the marriage of Miss Baillie to the Earl of Mansfield. There is, we understand, no foundation whatever for the reports which have recently been circulated by the public press on this subject. Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Eresby and family are still at Rome, where they are expected to remain until the end of March, and then leave that city on their way to Paris. The Earl and Countess of Eglintoun left the Ciarendon Hotel on Monday, for the Earl of Sefton's seat, Croxteth Hall, Lancashire, which is full of company, on the occasion of the grand national steeple-chase, which is expected .to be attended by a strong muster of sporting noblemen and gentlemen. Sir Charles Rushout and the Hon. Lady Cockerell have arrived at Fenton's Hotel, to be present at the solemnisation of the nuptials of her Ladyship's sister, the Hon. Georgiana Foley, with Mr. Montgomerie, a gentleman of property in the county of Norfolk. MISCELLA.NEOI7I3. There has been another extraordinary change in the weather within a few hours. On Monday at noon the ther mometer stood at 51 degrees, in the course of the night it f e ll to 25, and at noon thi s day was only one degree above freezing. The gales of wind which blew heavily during the whole of Friday night and Saturday morning from S.S.W., were, we regret to state, productive of the most fearful results along 'the coast. At Scarborough it was severely felt, and the cala mity that was witnessed will long be borne in recollection by the inhabitants. Three fishing yawls were lost at the mouth of the harbour, and fourteen persons were drowned. The members of the Journeymen Tailors' Benevolent Asylum, on Monday, held their seventh anniversary meeting at the Freemasons' Tavern, Mr. W: Harrison presiding. The capital invested in the Bank of England amounts to 11,1261., being an increase for the past year of 2211. The number of the society's members now amounts to nearly 1,700. During the day an election into the asylum of five additional pen sioners took place, making the total number to amount to 44. Some of the new shops in Hungerford market, it is said, will vie in appearance with those of Covent-garden market, and besides being appropriated for the sale of choice fruits and vegetables, there will be some of them fitted for what is termed the "fancy" portion of butchers' and cheesemongers' trades. • We have reason to believe, says the Court Journal, that there is little truth in the report of the immense wealth said to be lac by the late reigning Duke of Saxe Gotha, and that Prince Albert is not likely to have an increase to his fortune by any large bequest from that quarter. Loss or LIFE By FlRE.—Between seven and eight o'clock on Sunday evening a child, named Sarah Hand ley, eight years of age, whose parents reside at No. 14, Peter street, Cow-cross, expired at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, from the dreadful injuries she had sustained on the 18th inst., by her clothes accidentally taking fire. From the first her recovery was considered impossible. An inquest will be held on the body this day. DISTRESSING CASE.—A few days ago, a poor woman, named Mirah Ryan, residing at No. 4, Vittoria street Islington, who procured a scanty livelihood for herself and family by shirt-making, accidentally stuck a needle in her thumb, and in pulling it out part of it remained behind. She paid little or no attention to the circumstance until the affected part began to fester and swell. She applied her own remedies, but at length her arm, up to her shoulder, became exceedingly painful, and increased to an alarming size. Dr. Butkr and Other medical gentlemen attended on her, and used every effort to extract the portion of the needle without effect. Mortification eventually took place, and the unfortu nate woman expired in the greatest agony. She has left her family in the greatest distress, one being a poor boy stone blind. The husband of the deceased, some time ago, met with a severe accident whilst at work at a building in Re gent-street, and he is now an inniate of the workhouse. FURIOUS AFFRAY.—The following rather serious occurrence is reported in a Derry paper :—The Excise officers, on special service in Derry, accompanied by Messrs. 11 , 1‘Cann and Wallace, discovered on Thursday; the 15th instant, in the mountains of Ennishowen, an illicit still, which they destroyed, and a short distance from it they found a copper worm, which they proceeded to take with them. Having advanced a short way with it, they perceived the neighbouring hills covered with people, armed- with sticks, pitchforks, stones, &c., who followed after them in the direction of Quigley's-poit, and when the officers were proceeding down the mountain, the peasantry commenced a most furious attack with stones, keeping about 20 yards off. They were repeatedly told to desist, or abide the conse quences—that they would most undoubtedly be fired on. They dared the officers to do so, and rushing on in a body, there commenced a most desperate affray. One of the officers (Mr. Wilson) was knocked down senseless, when a savage came running at him with a pitchfork, but two of the party fired at him, and though apparently hit, he still persisted, until it was wrested from him. The affray about this time having lasted near an hour, and the numbers now becoming appalling, the little band were at length obliged to retreat, having two men badly wounded—the smugglers still pursuing and keeping up a most murderous fire of stones, until the party at length found shelter at Quigley's point. AN EXTRAORDINARY:: VALENTINE RECEIVED THROUGH THE POST - OFFlCE.—Perhaps one of the best jokes that have lately taken place occurred last Valentine's day, when a gentleman, bachelor, of this town, received through the Post-office, from one of the most fashionable watering places, a beautiful stuffed cat, with several mottos attached round its neck with riband. One, in the shape of a heart, on which was written " A gift from the old maids of —." Another, " A fire-side companion." " A good house keeper during an afternoon's ride." "An old bachelor's friend." "Smile if you like—laugh if you can." " When the cat is in the way, the mice at your house dare not play." —Manchester Advertiser. • • F A T H E R T II A DI E S.
