Nee, ; cried of life most important to an assurance office is that be atcle,i, 00 years of age, and in the tillowing remarks we refer / t .. - 7eY to this period of life. )s, e "ill be found that the deaths In the metropolis for the two Nu t , Prec eding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and . from th e t 'ant it 1 • 11 alone 10 , 688 ; showing that more than one-third of .. 4 nce ot- d eaths in that period of life takes place from th e preva "ith a single disease • and if the same inquiry were i nstituted . ill ' I.- Peet to other disease *, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases) f of u ea d, heart, arc. it would be found that morn than one - half ins ac s ;: a whole populalion would, on medical eamination, he refused his into an assurance office. If the x inquiry be carried to %V ei nal towns in England, like facts are elicited—in Bir k e ' tt " a ro, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, I,p B . uM. are ab ou t 5,023, w hil e th ose f rom consum pti on are e tre °, formi ng considerably more than one-third of the whole. The I St: will be found to hold good in the large towns In Scot ' six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, ft -tinted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and thl t4 important diseases, 9,754; in the latter case forming more th' n 4 2per cent of the deaths from all causes. On reference to F o e retu-rns from . the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be bo sh that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, --e e than 15 t'muumpper cent tion 4,480 f the 7, and deaths from all a list of five dcauses iseases, 6,423, being xhe di " - theonie form, here alluded to are such as exist in general in a An a " f r na fr equently for many years prior to death, but which, Denton, soe- medic al examination, would effectually exclude the e it tio rh s tfil u rt i l e rp af e s e t t h ed at f ront the benefits of life assurance ; and since The majority elf the population is included in this to be valu e an d importance of the new feature of' this society Can not fail Ast a ly appreciated. Meth i es e°n d Point to be explained is the fact that there is Aar r isk ris k in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of de ger , nt And vital importance to the interests of this society, and T h _ c a e to he carefully considered. th e ral risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in de ti ... a f e to which an office is liable of experiencing a different aellitryeez:loatrtrttbrntyo,rtality from that expected by the tabjes on which its _nil are founded. This difference is termed the fl uctuation and will be found to be much less among diseased b,_ na n over the general population, and among selected lives. 14 4 7_ deaths , from consumption in the metropolis per annum are fra % "II near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, rileits„ ll c auses, to ad m it of a comparison, and by reducing the in th - , 14 figures it i s f oun d t h a t w hil e the fl uctuation per a nnum s ot ; 'atter case is as high as 45 per cent., In the former it is only t allse tent, or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in tis,troPtion was only one-fifth of the other ; and in Manchester, a malle tt and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of thow i l n umbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., Aloft a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the is °f this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute ~oneu res ults than that which regulates the general population. der ed In Ption has here beets selected, not because it was consi- Itaterin°re favourable in its results, but simply on account of the a ede r „,, "n Thers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question ttntq n sideration ; but the same test has been applied to a great '1 4 4 , ?f other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine atte ss 'nth* metrop o lis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, lilet u e et n i _ f the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c.. the I , ltsk t "" was only 71 per cei.t., and in five diseases in a different an w tl ie fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while Amon eleven t ,- Zer locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation Ni s "' sicced 6.2 p e r cent. ; and taking the principal towns in 41 tera l including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds. ‘ li tee 4 7' 4, C., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important Th e w as 6'4 per cent. !lice dill re markable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro.

The mortality of the general population ta int " s ully been referred to by writers as an example of the cer :se ,;°' e ornmon events , but the preceding remarks must show with nien d ' ac hlreater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be " i " on, !, 4 ttt l ;, ` , perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of b '''.4l Jan to disease, it has not been confined to one place or Zneln i ,, li Telt but ha s been extended to the principal towns in ;a4, ;." and Scotland, as well as t- •nany rural districts in Eng 41teti."d included the experience er one or two large societies of !

THE FRENCH IN AFRICA. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. ALGIERS, JULY 3.—Messieurs the administrators of the Berlines Postes inform you that there is just five days' journey from the Paris in Europe to the Paris in Africa. What, then, ought to be your sensations in stepping from the Marseilles steamer upon the terra firma of the Paris in Africa ? Nothing very particular. You see yourself in a French town, and that's all. On arriving at the Place Royale, the only object which shakes your faith in the French town is a large mosque, which forms a very striking and novel feature in the ensemble of the Place. You must then picture to your self a tolerably-sized square, open on on one side to the sea, where you look over the Mole and the harbour, and a hundred merchant ships and half-a-dozen steamers, and filled up on the other sides with hotels, and shops, and cafes, of four and five stories high, with an espla nude or parade, lined on two paths with growing -up orange-trees, and you have the Place Royale. There is another square as you advance upon the hill of houses, where a market is held in the centre, having a fountain, which is also enclosed by cafes and shops. There are two widish streets, Baba-Azours and Baba-Ouled, run ning east and west, which communicate directly with the Place Royale. These streets are lined with hotels, cafes, and shops, teeming with French goods as cheap as in any town of France. There is scarcely a street where building up and pulling down is not going on. Govern ment is also building barracks for soldiers on the top of the city, and churches of all sorts and sizes in diffe rent parts of the city for the worship of every religion under the sun. In the narrow streets of the city— ' which are as narrow, tortuous, and dark as Moorish streets can be—there are several very strong and hand some houses built and being built,. In fact the rage and anxiety to make Paris in Africa deserve its name is be yond all conception, and many millions of francs must have been spent by private individuals._,_Thuu lona ha. mense faubourg (Mustapha) springing into life all along the eastern coast, like a Yankee city of the far west. There are at least some 50 carriage -omnibuses running to this and every other part of the environs. I must not forget also that the Government, to please the Moors, have, besides repairing their mosques, built them two or three handsome bazaars in their moresgue fashion. The bustle and confusion in this African Paris is be yond description. It is like a great hotel, or an Africo- European bazaar. A fellow traveller of mine could not think of anything else to compare it to but Epsom races. Of course, as French, Spaniards, Maltese, Arabs, Moors, and Barbary Jews, constitute nearly the whole popula tion, the variety of their costumes has a very droll, if not pleasing effect. The more respectable natives, the Mussulmans I mean, whose calm and retired habits feel offended at this Epsom races bustle from morning to night, retire within their houses, and are rarely seen in the European part of the town. A great many of the lower classes, however, are everywhere seen ; and little Moorish shoe-blacks follow you to black your shoes in French style. The number of cafes and restaurants are totally beyond calculation. Added to this, as the crown of French civilisation in Africa, you must listen to with amorous delight, and coquette the singing girls of the musical soirees and cafes. It was mentioned the other evening', as an astounding proof of the progress of civilisation in the interior, that Italian music and singing were to be heard at Blidals, a town about eight leagues from this. Everybody seems to live at the cafes or restaurants. Very small houses are inhabited by half-a-dozen families, that is, of Europeans ; for house-rent is exceedingly dear. I don't know whether you will be able to form any con ception of Paris in Africa from this lame description. I should add, however, that Algiers is essentially a gar rison town, and is full of the military. It must not, also, be forgotten that the Dec d'Orleans had a portion of the suburbs on the west devoted to a Jardin des Plantes, which is open every Sunday to the public. I only men tion more, that very formidable fortifications are being constructed on the heights . : the Mole is gradually being enlarged, and everything wears the appearance of the determination of the French to retain their Algerian . conquest. We must not, nevertheless, disguise the fact that French civiliation, as abOve set forth, goes more than any other system of living—if I may so say-- against the grain of the Moors. They flee it—it hurts, it shocks ahem.: the noise, the bustle, the cafes, the singing women, the women running everywhere and doing everything—the shops, the pict u r es , na y, th e Ro manCatholi3 worship, the cross, the images, the proces sions (for processions have begun here): all these, and ten thousand other things, exasperate the very soul of the Moor, and he shrinks back into the retirement of his secluded home, and tries to dream that the French have never touched the soil of Algeria. It is because the French have been carrying on a desperate war in this country for the last 14 years, and hare driven away the peaceful objects of commerce from a soil stained with blood unrighteously spilt, they turn round upon us and bully us because the Arabs of the interior prefer to go and buy goods from Morocco and Tunis in safety ; but which goods, it turns out, come chiefly from Eng land. This is the way in which we rob our neighbours of their natural and legitimate rights. As to the Arabs themselves they are free agents, and we have no control over them one way or the other. Surely, they may be permitted to choose the best market for themselves. But there seems to be something like fatality in this frustration of France's " natural and legitimate benefits." Not satisfied with driving away the commerce from the soil of Algeria by a cruel war, the French were deter mined to give it the coup de grace by fiscal regulations. " Are not the ports of Oran, Algiers, Philippeville, and Bona open ?" crie s M ons i eur the member of the Scien tific Commission. " No," I answer : " you have effec tually and hermetically sealed them by the late law of the customs of Algiers." The Arabs dislike a dear article as much as war ; •and certain it is, that there is not the remotest prospect of reviving the trade with the inhabitants of the interior or of the south whilst the new tariff of customs is in force. The Algerine Sahara will now, indeed, more than ever pursue its relations with Tunis in the cast and Morocco in the west, for the supply of its European manufactures. No razias, no war, no earthly power, will turn an Arab from a route which leads him to a cheap market. I mentioned, however, in my last, that the tariff had begun s o p ern i ciously that it was_ likely to un dergo important modification s . The fact of the matter is that tariff was made against England to keep out her manufactures ; but it .has, and ever will, prove a failure. English manufactures cannot be kept from the Arabs of the Saha ra arid the mountains of Northern Africa; for, if France prohibits their entry direct into Algeria, they will find their passage side ways—" pas des voles laterales"— as M. Carette says from th e south. The sooner, therefore, ri i France adepts adepts an i nev i table course of liberal policy • ittnhhearyt Fd) el : a tion to the commerce of this country with other nations the better. 'lt I t s l . l , l a l t., c d t:ma with a better gr ace if done at once, and when already the necessity of th e policy is clearly demon Whilst writing about the commerce of the country, it m ay be as well to mention, that the export of native productions amounts to absolutely nothing. All that is• now is the export of a little olive oil, a. little wax, and a few skins, all in the very small way, and which is in the hands of the Jews, and so made smaller and worse by that. _ _ mom THE EVENING PAPERS OP YESTERDAP. ! GLOBE.—" I repeat it again," said Sir Robert Peel I la,t night—and indeed he does repeat it, at least as often as modesty tolerates—" I repeat it again, that we have done more, without destroying any existing interests, though they were frightened at first—we have done mere for the relaxation of commerce, and contri buted more to the restoration of commercial pros perity, than any Government that has preceded us." Now, in every point of view, it appears to us Minis ters made an exceedingly bad beginning. In the first place, so far from contributing to the restoration of commercial prosperity, we affirm that nothing could possibly have so much retarded it, as the extreme de gree of distrust they created 13?,- their unexpected unset tling of favoured interests. Phis is what Sir Robert Peel euphemises as frightening existing interests at first. May we ask, how it came to be Sir R. Peel's part to frighten existing interests? Frightened them he had, to his heart's content, at the measures of his opponents. Taken his stand he had, to all human appearance and understanding, and so had that slippery corn and cur rency convert, Sir James Graham, on the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill—of 1828. Ever since the Agricultural Committee of 1836, at which epoch the Whig leaders in the Commons evinced them selves favourable to the substitution of a fixed duty for the sliding scale, the Conservative leaders had lost no occasion of marking that as a grand point of difference between parties. On the one hand, they presented them selves as the steady supporters of the existing law against even inquiry —and, on the other hand, they pointed to their opponents as men who had shown and avowed themselves disposed to change that law. It is fallacious to accuse the late Ministers as having only bethought themselves of commercial relaxations in the fashion of „a._ death.bed __penitence _in 1841. , For : „years pre- reiously their . expressed - desire no -- ti - change in the corn-laws had been worked by their intended suc cessors as one of the most dangerous things about them. Well, no sooner were the elections carried by the alarm against change of the corn-laws, than the new Minister intimated that he was not pledged to every figure of the sliding scale. He had previously stood by the existing law, as something it was sheer heresy to inquire into ! Instant innovation on the existing law was his first measure for frightening existing interests. Consistency (save the mark D, however, demanded that the change should not be complete. Something else, therefore, was to be thrown in as a makeweight— a tub to the popular whale. Corn could not, for de cency, be satisfactorily handled, amongst the new " re laxations of commerce." Cattle, therefore, which no soul dreamed of, which no tongue or pen asked for, were to curry favour with the food-appetent public for these "knaves in grain." Here was another "fright" for the interests whom Sir Robert Peel came in to save from being frightened. First he frightened them at the reckless Whigs, who could dream of making corn an object of commerce. N. B. Corn was already so—at intervals of few years—and the Whigs, therefore, in seeking to give its commerce steadiness, were far from seeking to de stroy any existing interest—but, on the contrary, as we are firmly persuaded, consulting for the best, as re garded the landed interests themselves. Cattle, how-' ever, was no object of commerce in any one's contempla tion. To begin making it so was to break new ground; to bring in foreign competitors de gaiete de cceur. Eng land is as eminently fit to supply herself with home fed cattle, as she is eminently unfit to devote her inferior soils to wheat Here then was was a totally wanton and treache rous aggression on the very interest these men declared required to be excepted from common commercial princi ples. Here was an inlet of competition with that interest opened in an article of importance to it—and the neces sity of importing which had never shown itself in the manifest shape which called loudly for change as re garded the commerce in corn. But not only are these Ministers chargeable (from the protective point of view) with starting unexpected game—with throwing open unasked-for imports—but the admission of those imports was flatly contradictory to their plea for landed protection. If land required protection, it required it pre-eminently for this branch of products. For this is essential to all the rest—en couraging cattle-breeding is encouraging cultivation ; discouraging it is discouraging and impoverishing the very culture Sir Robert Peel still pretends to keep out of the ordinary commercial category altogether. We do believe that nothing more astounding ever was conceived, or perpetrated, by any Government keep ing up the pretence of protecting agriculture—having turned out its predecessors because they would not enough protect agriculture—hallooing the hounds of every county on Lord John Russell and his late colleagues for proposing a duty of Bs. on corn, which comes in whether we will or not—and then adopting a nominal duty on cattle—whose manure is essential to corn-culture Let any intelligent agriculturists, even who still cling to protection, answer the ques tion, whether Lord John Russell's moderate ap plication , of commercial and financial principles to the article of corn, or Sir Robert Peel's unsettlement of corn, and new start with cattle, be the more pregnant with- ultimate depressing effects on agriculture I We.know this, that men of that order think the repeal of the cattle-laws far more mischievous to them than could have been repeal of the corn-laws. Such men say that the small number of foreign beasts hitherto imported supply no criterion whatever of the effect of Sir Robert Peel's cattle clap trap. They say that it required some years' pre paration—which preparation is actively making in Hol• land, Holstein, Northern Germany, &c.—to enable foreigners to feed up to the condition required by the demand of the English market. The farmers on the opposite coasts have now provided themselves with the short-horned breed fitted for this market ; and they will find no difficulty in fattening up to the point required, as the greater part of the very cake with which our farmers fatten comes from Harnburgh, Holland, and Holstein ; and the freight of oxen is less from Hamburgh .than from Aberdeen.

Walsingharn Onslow Winchester, Bishop Grantley Ciancarty Lincoln, Bisop Fevereham Rochester, Bishop Wynt'ord STANDARD.—Putting on one side the deep crimi nality of fretting and teasing the temper of a diseased though convalescent population, the Irish grievance mongering of the Opposition in Parliament is unspeak ably contemptible. Mr. Wyse on Monday occupied the House of Commons with the State Trials, already dis - - cussed , in half a dozen different shapes, and upon one occasion, in February, for nine successive nights. The charge, however, though false was grave, and we hoped that it would remain the well-wearing stock of the Irish grievance-mongers, " As in some Irish houses, when things are so so, One gammon of bacon is hung up for show." We were, however, mistaken ; the House of Lords must have its "gammon" too (we design no vile slang pun), and last night Lords Fortescue and Normanby pre sided at th% beggarly *entertainment. . The " gammon" which occupied the noble assembly was supplied by the case of Mr. O'Driscoll, whom the Chan cellor of. Ireland, having first dismissed from the commission of the:peace, as not having at the time (in consequence of recent indisposition) sufficient' command of his temper, subsequently restored to the bench, upon the request of nearly all the noblemen, gentlemen, and yeomanry of the neighbourhood. Un fortunately for the grievance-mongers, Mr. O'Dris- . coil is not an Orangeman, or even a Protestant. He is one of the sect which usually supplies them with suffering innocents. Mr. O'Driscoll is a Roman Ca tholic ; but as a loyal, a liberal, and a respectable gentleman, he is considered by the ex-Ministerial party as fit an object of persecution as if he had all his life toasted the battle of " the Boyne," or of " the Dia mond." The charge against Mr. O'Driscoll is cumu lative ' • his crimes, if not of a very deep dye, are mani fold. He, it seems, in a rescue case in which himself was the sufferer, sent for a witness to the rescue to his hbuse, and then forwarded the same witness to give evidence before another magistrate, which other magistrate, dis , •, satisfied with the conduct of the witness, committed: him, the witness, to prison. To this vicarious respon sibility for the act of another magistrate, Mr. ()'Driscoll added the heinous guilt of impeaching the justice of a decision of his brethren of the bench, and was even reluctant to apologise, though in the end he made a most ample apology ; lastly, he actually struck with the lash of his riding whip an urchin whom he suspected of having shot a hare before the hounds, which he was at the time following in all the enthusiasm of the chase. All these enormities were duly represented to the Chancellor of Ireland, blazoned of course in that style of eloquence by which the Irish so well know how to bring out a grievance in bold relief and full effect—an art, by the way, like that which enables the French cook to convert old shoe-soles, candles'-ends, and fish-bones into the savoury and piquant " harlequin," eulogised by Eugene Sues " Chourineur." The medley accusa tion, duly seasoned by the officers of the repeal con spiracy, was presented to the Chancellor, who lota re perspecta , concluded that Mr. O'Driscoll was like many other squires of his age—a testy old gentleman— that a recent indisposition (a fit of gout, we would wager) had lately rendered him - more irritable, and that therefore it would be as well to suspend for the present, so the Chancellor's words ran, his functions as a ma gistrate. We are tempted to stop here, and ask whether this was not hard measure—whether, there is a 'squire of sixty years of age in the com mission of the peace in England who has not trans gressed as often and as gravely as Mr. O'Driscoll ? However, the Irish Chancellor was right. Living in a cloud of slanderers and false accusers, he could not be too circumspect. Meanwhile Mr. O'Driscoll's friends and neighbours of all ranks, those best qualified to estimate his sterling worth, felt the slight apparently offered to him as a wound to themselves ; they re spectfully remonstrated with the Chancellor, and the ChancellOr complied with their anxious wishes by restoring their old friend to the commisson ;• and if the Chancellor had not done so, he would be un worthy of the station he holds. Such was the trum pery case with which the House of Lords was entertained last night, through the whole of its sitting, by the last two Whig Viceroys of Ireland. Trumpery ai affair is, the exhibition to which. . gave rise is of inestimable value—_, • ,• - stuff the Yihio - s 46 allows out of what their Irish Viceroys ; - • -- I must now add a word upon the prospects of the se curity of life and property in this country. lam as sured that during the last year the colony has greatly a ivanced in security. The Akhbar of the 30th ult. re lates the circumstance of a man who, net being able to leave Bona for debt by sea, left that town and traversed the country from Bona to Philippeville in perfect safety; and this he gives as an argument of the security of the country. The distance which the man travelled is some thirty miles. The son of the British Vice-Consul also travelled from Cherchell to Algiers the other day, a distance of about forty miles, with only two Moors and another European, in perfect safety. The furthest post oc - cupied in the interior isßiskara, lately taken possession of by the Duc d'Aumale. The distance from the coast in a direct line is about 200 miles. The Arab chief, acknow ledging the sovereignty of France, who is most distant from Algiers (the city), is the Emir of El-Aghount, which district contains a city with a population of 20,000 souls. It is quite evident, then, that the French power in Africa is acquiring stability, and only Abd-el-Kader prevents this colony, at least apparently so, from rapidly advancing in the security of life and property. Of agri cultural prosperity I can say nothing at present. Towns and villages, however, are springing up in this neighbour hood, and the number of new emigrants is estimated at about 1,000 per month. The Spaniards and the Mal tese have been most successful amongst the strangers ; but, I believe, the Germans are doing pretty well as cultivators of the soil. Government gives a free passage to every French emigrant who applies for it and takes with him a certificate of ,character. On arriving here they shift for themselves. Certainly, the shortness of the passage is greatly in favour of emigration—always within three days, and in steamers. So far, it must be confessed, that the French Government is liberal. — Times' Correspondent. DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morning, about .nine, as an unfortunate man, named Peter Lynch; a brick layer's labourer, was in the act of ascending a ladder raised. against one of the large houses now about bei.ng erected in William-street, one of the bars of the laader broke, and having a Heavy load upon his shoulder he was unable to retain his grasp, which he, first made at the side of the scaf folding. After clinging for some time to a cross pole he was obliged to relinquish his hold, when he fell with fearful violence to the ground. He was immediately removed to, the London Hospital, where it was ascertained that his skull had been fractured, and other severe injuries sustained. But slight hopes were entertained of his recovery.

The state of Ireland Is unhappily far from one of perfect felicity, much less enjoyment ; but if the conduct of the Government only was concerned in marring the prosperity and coin fort of the people, this very grievance proves that Ire land would be a paradise ; for if we must set down as a satiated voluptuary one who can complain of nothing but a crumpled rose-leaf on his couch, may we not call that people perfectly happy who have no more serious ground of dissatisfaction than such an act as Mr. O'Driscoll's restoration ? MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 11 per mille. which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10hd. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 43 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 50, it follows that gold is 0.27 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By athices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 84, it follows that gold is 0.69 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1094 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng land and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.08 per cent. against England But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. .

DUBLIN, JULY 15.—At the usual weekly meeting, after the transaction of some unimportant business, Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL rose and said he had news to com municate which he was sure would afflict them all.. It was, that Lord De Grey purposed leaving their shores to-morrow, and he trusted for ever, carrying with him, not the hatred, but the contempt of the entire Irish people.—(Cheers.) His declaration of war-against the repeal button was looked upon more in sorrow, than in anger ; but it appeared that his re nunciation had been acted upon in other places beside the Castle and the barracks. The Commissioners of education had determined to exclude from the national schools every boy that exhibited a repeal button. He protested against such partisan conduct, and would at the same time deny that the repeal button was a party badge—the Re pealers were not a party, they were the people.—(Cheers.) His father's advice, however, was, that the young blood of Ireland should not lose the benefits of education for such a trifling cause. Let them, therefore, not exp.., the button, but keep it in their pockets, which would ap ; . l ,-e r the pur pose equally well.—(Hear, hear.) He would iiiiw proceed to make his usual weekly report from the prison. The State prisoners were, he was niost happy to say, in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits, and his father was delighted at the perseverance and peaceable conduct of the people. By perseverance alone could they expect to obtain the object of their fondest hopes—the repeal of the legislative union.— (Loud cheers.) On next Monday he would take an opportunity .if expressing the opinion of his father on the passing events. —(Hear, hear.) It was indeed a subject for gratulation that every act by which the Government thought to stop the progress of repeal had recoiled upon themselves, and had a -ten- flit(' effect in Accelerating the movement. The sentence none them inc.leulable' service, and the writ - of error, if . -ieeided against them. woohl do them still more, and it was fat her's that it would be decided against them. It would prove to- the people of Ireland that they shoud pend upon themselves only, and that they could have no confidence in the English Giver-Nth-lit.

Sir George Cockburn, G.C.B. ; Rear-Admiral W. Bowles, C. 8., and the ' Right Hon. H. T. L. Corry, Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty ; with Captain Sir William Symonds, Surveyor of the Navy, arrived at Woolwich Dockyard at twelve o'clock to-day, and were received by Commodore Sir F. A. Collier, K.C.B. and K C.H., Captain Superintendent; Capt. Bullock, of the Porcupine steam-vessel; Commander Smith, of the William and Mary yacht ; Mr. Tinmouth, master-at tendant ; Mr. Oliver Lang, master shipwright ; Mr. Jen kins, storekeeper; Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer; Mr. Reid, as sistant to the master shipwright; and Mr. Murray, assistant to the chief engineer, who accompanied their Lordships over the various departments of this extensive naval depot. The first place visited by their Lordships was the slip on which the Royal Albert, 120 guns, is building, and Mr. Lang ex plained the progress made in the construction of this magni ficent vessel, and the means adopted for strengthening her timbers, so as to render her when finished the strongest in the British navy. It is worthy of remark, that the Emperor of Russia was so satisfied of the immense strength of vessels built on the same principle as Mr. Lang has adopted in constructing the Royal Albert, that his Im perial Highness expressed his intention on his return to St, Petersburgh to give orders that every vessel built for the Russian navy in future should be put together in the same form. On leaving the Royal Albert, the Lords Commis sioners proceeded on board the Black Eagle steam-vessel, at present undergoing a thorough renovation. Their Lord ships then inspected the Dwdalus frigate, the foundery, and the extensive range of new buildings. On leaving the foundery, their Lordships proceeded to the eastern part of the dockyard, and visited the excavations carried on for the purpose of forming a new dock, and the founda tions immediately adjoining, on which will be erected extensive steam saw-mills for the use of the dockyard. The Gladiator steam-vessel, now nearly ready for launch• ing, was next visited, and the Amphion, of 36 guns. The latter has been some time on the stocks, and from the obserVations made by their Lordships it is probable she will be proceeded with and launched, as the slip can then be made available for building other vessels in contemplation, when room can be obtained for their construction. The whole of the fire-engines were in order under the police, with their Inspectors Robinson and Havard, and everything which came under their Lordships' observation appeared to give en tire satisfaction. Their Lordships, previous to leaving the dockyard, entered the residence of Sir Francis Collier for a short time, and returned to London at half-past three o'clock p.m. The Admiralty flag was hoisted on the arrival of their Lordships, and taken down at their departure. ROYAL ARTILLERY: WOOLWICII ' JULY 16.—Major Wright's company, 7th battalion, and Captain Dacres's corn pany, sth battalion, marched from the garrison at half-past nine o'clock this morning to the Lightning steam-vessel, for conveyance to Chatham, where they will emark in the Apollo troop-ship, for a passage—the former to Newfoundland, and the latter to Quebec. Major Wright proceeded with his com pany, with Lieutenants Crawford and Brettingham. Second Captain Warburton has thesharge of Captain Dacre's coin pay, with LieutAants ElgE6 and Newton, and Second Lien; tenant Gilbert. Lieutenant Hawley embarked at_the same time to join Major Evans's company at Montreal, and Lieu tenant hipon to jiiin Captain Symon's company at Kingston, Canada. Dr. Macintosh, of the - Royal Artillery, proceeded as medical officer with the companies. The women and children embarked in the Monkey steam-vessel to Chatham. Several women were left behind in consequence of there being a greater number of married men in the companies than the regulation allows to take their wives with them, but they will follow in a freight ship in the course of next week, Lady Bloomfield and many of the wives of the officers of the garrison having formed a fund to assist those left behind, and a fancy fair will take place in the course of the present month in aid of this excellent object. The annual inspection of the Royal Artillery commenced at ten o'clock, by the Royal Horse Artillery, the field batteries and riding troop assembling on the common, in heavy marching order, where they were minutely examined by Colonel Paterson, with Brigade-Major Cuppage. At one o'clock, the whole of the nine battalions of Foot Artillery assembled under the command of Colonel Turner, C.B. and the men underwent an inspection, which lasted until half-past three o'clock, P. 31. PIERAGE STATISTICS.—Since the accession of Sir Robert Peel's Ministry, a considerable decrease has occurred among the hereditary honours of the country. The duke doms of Sussex and Dorset ; the Irish marquisate of Welles ley ; the earldoms of Plymouth, Ludlow, and O'Neill ; the English baronies of Rolle, Wellesley, Lynedoch, Wallace, Ludlow, Fitzgerald, and Svdenham ; the baronetcies of Bruce, Cowan, Cromie, Hinnay, Johnstone, Mackenzie, Macnaghten, Rae, and Rowley, have become extinct. The earldom of Mansfield of 1793 has merged into that of 1776. The ' viscounty of Ferrand has united with that of Massa reene ; the English barony of Arden with Lovell and Holland ; the Irish barony of Arden with the earldom of Egmont; the barony of Duncannon with the earldom of Besborough. During the same period the earldom of Abergavenny, the viscounty of Hereford, the baronies of Rodney, Berwick, Fitzgerald, and Congleton, have descended to clerical pos sessors. The viscounty of Hill is the only elevation ; the barony of Lowther is merged in the earldom of Lonsdale, causing a loss of one member to the . Ministerial party in the Up er House. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.—On Tuesday and Monday a fancy fair and a fete champetre took place on the grounds of the Asylum, Old Kent-road, in aid of the - Asylum ; every attraction was brought into requisition likely to please. The fancy fair was elegantly got up, and the pur chases made at it were most satisfactory to the fair venders. A large tent, measuring 250 feet long, was fitted up for danc ing, and-two military bands stationed under its awning con tinued playing the whole evening. .A glass blowing exhibi tion, and a model of the battle of Waterloo, were objects of great admiration.; but what pleased the eye most was the presence of the children of the Licensed Victuallers' School, who, during the day, promenaded the grounds, and whoie healthful and cheerful appearance indicated the great care which is paid to them. The festivities of the day closed with fire balloons, and' a display of pyrotechnical works. • NEWSY ENDERS' INSTITUTION.—Tuesday the mem bers of this institution, which is established for the purpose of granting temporary relief and permanent assistance to mas ters and servants engaged as venders of newspapers, and their widows, who, from age or infirmity .may require aid, adopted, as a favourite means of recruiting their resources, a trip by steam to the Rose Cottage Richmond. The Laurel steamer, which was engaged by the governors of the charity, was crowded to excess. The company partook of refresh ments, after which quadrilles, waltzes, and country dances, which had been commenced on board the steamer, were re-' slimed in the ball-room and saloon, an efficient band playing the most favourite airs. This is their fifth annual excursion. THE DUNCOMBE TESTIMONIAL.—A meeting was held'on Tuesday, at the vestry room of the parish of St. Pancras, for the purpose of furthering the Duncombe testi monial, and of expressing " the high opinion entertained by the inhabitants of St. Pancras, for Thomas S. Duncombe 's general Parliamentary conduct, and more especially for his gallant opposition to the Masters and Servants Bill, and his exposure of the system of espionage practised by Sir James Graham at the Post-office." The hour appointed for the meeting was seven o'clock, but it was half-past eight before it was constituted, when about a hundred of both sexes were present, all belonging to the working classes. Mr. Arnst was moved into the chair, who opened the proceedings by ex plaining the object of the meeting. A resolution was then propbsed, to the effect that Mr. Duncombe was entitled to the thanks and gratitude of the working classes of the country, by Mr. Farrer, and seconded by Mr. Skelton ; and on being put, wasspoken to, at some length, by Mr. Feargus O'Connor, after which it was unanimously carried. A vote of thanks was then passed to the vestry of the parish for the use of the ioom, and another to the chairman, after which the meeting dispersed. i7.11z LATE FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT OFF LAMBETIL PALACE.—On Tuesday morning Mr. Carter re- Sinned, for the fourth time, at the Ship, Fore-street, Lam beth, the inquiry touching the death of Henry Tucker, aged thirty-five, a lighterman, and William Wright, aged. twenty three, a coach painter. The' inquest-room was, as on the former occasions, crowded with persons enzaged in the navi gation of the river. Mr. Justins, from the office of Mr. Hobler, attended for the proprietor;of the Thunder, Putney steamer; and Mr. Lumley, from Mr. Flower's office, was present on the part of the relatives of the deceased. A good deal of evidence having been given, at five o'clock r.m. (the inquiry having begun at ten in the morning) the Cower • commenced summing up, and having done so for an hour, concluded by telling the jury that the questions they had to consider were, whether the captain of the Thunder had been navigating that boat negligently, and to what extent, and whether the men in the skiff were properly managing her, and finally whether the collision had or had not been the result of accident. The Court was. then cleared, and the jury left to deliberate by themselveS. After a consultation of two hours, the juri returned a verdict of " Accidental - death," with a deodan Z.SRYOi. upon the steamer. Mr. Justins said that he ~.,Tuu appeal against the verdict by certiorari. T IIAPPY LANDLORD.—Yesterdar the wife of Mr. Edward Hodges, landlord of the Royal Oak public-house, Circus-street, New-road, Marylebone, did here husband the honour of adding to his family circle, -three: Alp boys, who, with their mother, are cloirig well. " Whitehall, July 9, 1844. " We, the undersigned, having inspected the models for sculpture submitted to us in Westminster Hall, are of opinion hat the exhibition is highly creditable to the country. We have recorded our judgment on the merit of many of the works of the exhibitors, but not being at present in posses sion of sufficient information as to the extent of the decora tions in sculpture which may be considered desirable in the Palace at Westminster, or as to the time when such decora tions may be required, we have thought it expedient to liMit our present selection to those artists whom we consider have especially distinguished themselves in the exhibition referred to. and we hereby recommend the following artists, viz., W Calder Marshall, John Bell, and John Henry Foley, for em ployment on such works in the Palace at Westminster, and for such remuneration as may hereafter be determined. At the same time we wish it to be understood that the present selection does not by any means imply the exclusion of other sculptors, whether they may or may not have exhibited specimens of their ability on the present occasion.

No. 100 and No. 165, the one a full length of " Geoffery Chaucer, the father of English poetry," and the other a figure " Eve." Mr. Bell contributes two models of sculpture, the one No. 106, favourably known as the Archer or Eagle Slayer, and the other, No. 134, a figure of Jane Shore. Mr. Bell also ex hibits a cartoon, No. 81, entitled " The Angel of the Pillar." Mr. John Henry Foley has also two subjects, Nos. 155 and 156, the first being the figure of " a Youth at a Stream," and the second a group of "Ino and the Infant Bacchus." ST. SWITHIN. The continuance of rainy weather commonly experi enced about - the middle of July. has given rise, it is sup posed, to the popular tradition respecting St. Swithin, whose anniversary day is on the 15th of the month. 'We have elsewhere noticed the thunder-storm which . ushered in St.. Swithin here, on Monday morning ; and have since had the curiosity to make some inquiries as . . to..the quantity _of_rtdni_wilich_. has fallen in Matchester during the month of Ju l y for the last - fotiiiien yetiTST - T- , 7i• 7 -:., ,, -- 1 . and we find the following to be the quantities : 1 July. Inches. July. Inches. 1830 1831 3.50 1838 3 .46 1832 0 -47 1839 4 -63 1833 2.27 1840 5.78 1834 6.71 1841 5.54 1835 P94 1842 3 .40 1836 3 .40 1843 5.17 This gives an average fall of rain during July of nearly four inches. In 1842, we find that 2 . 09 inches fell in the first half of July, and only P3l inch in the latter half—which is the one appropriated to St. Swithin's rainy influence. In 1843, on the contrary, P 66 inch fell in the first, and 3 . 51 inches in the last half of the month. In the present month (1844), the fall of rain in the first half, including the showers on Monday morning (0 . 29 inch), measures P5l inch. But we next come to the state of the weather to St. Swithin's day (July 15) on the last nine anniversaries of the watery saint. In 1836 (Friday) the day was wet, and the fall of rain during the week was P2O inch. In 1837 (Saturday) it was a rainy day ; fall dur ing the week P 25. In 1838 (Sunday) it was a fair morning, but a rainy afternoon ; and the fall during the week was only 0.54 inch. In 1839 (Monday) the day was showery ; but the rain during the week only 0.75 inch. In 1840 (Wednesday) it was very fine all day, but rain fell at night ; and in the week beginning on the following day, two inches of rain fell. In 1841 (Thursday) it was gloomy in the morning, showery at noon, and fine in the afternoon ; only 6-100ths of aninch of rain fell during the day, and 1•17 inch during the week. In 1842 (Friday) it was fine all day ; not a drop of rain tell, and the quantity during the week was only 0.10 inch. In 1843 (Saturday) it was cloudy, and a little rain (2•looths of an inch) fell the early part of the day ; but the remainder of the day was fine, and the week's quantity was 0-27. In 1844 (Monday last) there was a heavy thunder shower in the morning, which cleared the air, and the weather was beautifully fine the remainder of the day. The 611 during two hours, however, exceeded the week's quantity of last year, being 0 . 29 inch. The above, though ranging through only a limited number of years, will serve to show that St Swithin's day is not always so wet as is generally sup posed ; and all that can be predicated with any degree of certainty is that, from causes familiar to meteorologists, July is usually a very rainy month, as well as upon an average the hottest month of the year ; and it is worthy of note, that the increase to the mean temperature is de rived chiefly from the night. Manchester Guardian. . INFORMATION UNDER THE FAC- TORY 4C1.. At the Ashton petty sessions, on Saturday. Mr. Davies, the inspector of factories for this district. preferred an information against James Shaw, an overloeiter in the employ of Messrs. John and Nathaniel Howard, for having, on the 27th day of June, employed a boy, named Hugh Harrop, to work as a piecer for twelve hours in the day, he not being of the age required by The case excited some degree of interest. Mr. N. Earl solicitor, appeared on behalf of the defendant.. Mr. Davies said that he had the painful task of bringing the present charge before the Bench ; but, considering all the circumstances in connection with the case, he felt it his duty to do so. He visited Messrs. Howard's mill on the 27th of June, and found the boy, who had not the appearance of being thirteen, working as a piectlr. On referring to the books in the mill, he found he was regularly entered as having been certified by the surgeon to be of the proper age, seeing which, he was led to make further inquiry into the matter. He waited upon Mr. Wood, the certifying surgeon, and inquired whether he had given a certificate to such a lad as he pointed out. Mr. Wood told hiM that he had not done so ; that the boy Harrop was brought to him, but he refused to give any certificate, say ing at the same time that he would not do, but that he did give one to another boy who was much older, of the name of Hugh Harrop. Several witnesses were called who, on being sworn ' stated that they saw the defen dant coming out of Mr. Wood's surgery, on Monday the 10th of June, and that the boy Ilarrop was waiting outside, to whom the defendant gave a piece of paper. The certificate found in the book at the mill, Mr. Davies said, bore the date of the 10th of June. Mr. Wood, in answer to Mr. Davies, said that he was quite sure that he had never passed the boy Harrop. In answer to Mr. Earl he stated that he did pass one boy working at Messrs. Howards, but not the boy referred to. Was quite certain that the boy he found at work was not the boy certified in the name of Hugh Harrop.—The boy Harrop, on being called, said that he was passed, and that Mr. Wood put his hand upon his head. and looked in his mouth, to judge of his age.—Eliza beth Boyles said she was in Mr. Wood's surgery on the 10thof June, when a lusty man came in with two boys, and that one of. the boys was registered by the surgeon ; she could not say positively whether delen eant was the person who brought the boys in or not. In answer to Mr. Earl, the witness said that she could not Say Whether the last witness - was the boy that was registered. She did not take particular notice at the time. Mr. Earl said thatit was not s 9 much for the amount of any penalty that might be inflicted, as it was to clear up what appeared to him so mysterious a case as the one before the Bench, that he appeared there on that occasion. He argued at some 'length the possibi lity that Mr. 'Wood, in the multiciplicity of business, might easily have made a mistake. Ile called several witnesses, who stated that they saw the 'defendant leave the surgery, there being no other boy with or near him at the time but the boy Hugh Harrop.—Mr. Davies replied, and referred the Bench to the evidence given by Mr. Wood and the witness Boyles. He stated that he entirely exonerated the Messrs. Howards from all blame in the matter, believing, as he did, that they knew nothing at all of the case s - Mr. Lord said that be considered the case had been very properly conducted on both sides. There was no doubt from the evidence which hail been given, that defendant had acted improperly, but he thought a small penalty . in the present case would serve every purpose.—Mr. Davies said there was another case arising out of the first, but he did not wish to press for more than a nominal penalty for the second offence.— Mr. Garnett, the Chairman, said the Bench were quite satisfied of defendant's guilt, and convicted him in 40s. —Mr. Davies said that if defendant paid costs in the se cond case that would be all he should require.—Mr. Howard said that he believed the defendant to be inno cent, and he would pay the money for him. THE LATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER IN HOLBORN' —Mr. Smith is progressing favourably, and strong hopes are entertained that he will ultimately recover. On Monday, the piece of coat which was carried into the wound by the bullet • forced itself out. The bullet has not yet been discovered, but it is supposed by the medical gentlemen who attend him that it is lodged between the fangs of the vertebra!, having been stopped there in its progress, and prevented from injuring the • spinal cord. - TRANSPORTATION OF THE CONVICT DALMAS FOR • Lik:E.—On Monday afternoon, Mr. Keene, the Governor of 1 forsemonger-lane Gaol, received a special order from Sir James Graham ' the Home Secretary, directing that the con vict Dalmas should be immediately removed to the Mill bank prison, preparatory to his being transported for life, and that information should be 'Conveyed to the convict that • • her Majesty had been pleased to spare his life on the above conditions. We are enabled to state, from the most authentic sources, that it is the intention of the Government that the convict should be sent abroad pursuant to his commuted sen-. tence of transportation, and that he . will be shortly placed, on board the Agincourt convict -ship, now lying off Dept ford, and which will sail in a short period for her ultimate destination. • NOT MERELY A CURE BUT ALMOST A MIRACLE, EFFECTED BY HoLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Mrs. Curley, resid • ing at 15, Green-street, Bonner-street, Bethnal-green, had been dangerouSly ill for two years, was a patient at the London and Bartholomew Hospitals, and told that her stomach and kidneys were much diseased, could keep nothing whatever on her stomach ; she was likewise a dreadful sufferer from piles: finally, she got so bad as to keep her bed for nine months, from which dangerous state she has just been restored to the full enjoyment of • health, by the means of these extraordinary pills.
