A The recent extraordinary uprise of projects of this kind, must naturally induce all considerate persons to inquire into, and reflect on the security and benefits to be expected from them. THE PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE will be found upon examination to have long realised every benefit and convenience to the public wk.- d o is promised in the new projects. For the main purpose. provision for surviving objects of affection, the advantages ;if the Provident Office are second to none. All the profits, e - Aaept about 5 per Cent. thereon allotted to the Origi nal 111,,mbers, for their guarantee Capital of a quarter of a Mil lion sterling, and their exoneration of the insured from all re -B:eeinsibility, are septennially divided among all insured for Life, an proportion to their contributions, and added to their policies ; or in their option applied to the reduction of their future pre miums. These additions have amounted to 40 per Cent. on the premiums received, and in the whole to 313,662!. Their effect may be judged of from a policy taken out by his late Majesty on his own life for 3,0001., which additions encreased to 3,9631.

Prithee do not reject us Till you've read our Prospectus. Early in this month will be published, what every impartial in dividual will admit is much wanted in the Irish Metropolis, a really Honest, Able, and LIBERAL WEEKLY JOUR NAL, which it has been det erm i ne d s h a ll b e called HE WOR L D. Now that we have sat down to draw up our Prospectus, we do solemnly protest that ue would have given a considerable sum could we, by any means, have induced Lord Brougham and Viscount Palmerston to perform the duty for us, by way of proxy. The one would have described all that " THE WORLD" ought and will be, a thouvnd times better than we can ever hope to do ; while the other would have en shrouded all our errors and weaknesses in so murky a mantle of mystification, that they would have escaped the " audax et vigilans" scrutiny of the keenest customer in the New Police. Failing in our attempt either to enlist the ex-Chancellor, who was in hot haste to meet the hero of Waterloo at Dover, or the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " he had not a paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete the pi3catory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, but feared he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned our eyes to Eaton-square, and thought of placing ourselves under an obligation to Sir William Molesworth, but changed our mind, lest his Durham , politics should creep through a transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in clined to solicit, but he would have been rather heavy, and had enough to do in Waterford. Richard Sheil had the next place in our consideration, bxt his style would have been too spark ling and light for us ; and, moreover, wo knew that he was busied not only in preparing a patriotic address to the electors of Tipperary, but also in obtaining some knowledge of the tallow and molasses trade out of .Ikl‘Cullochls " Commercial Dictionary." _ Having at length seen that we must ourselves put en our apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the un dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair should be extremely long and dull, or uncommonly short and merry. Conscience whispered that we should speak the truth, but we remembered that the philosopher of Malmesbury has denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, anil has re commended that both them and their lucubrations should be bundled off to some comfortable and hospitable country, like Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest prompted us to treat a grave matter with becoming serious ness ; but then the advice of Pliny flashed upon our memory, (Ut in vita sic in studiis pulcherrimum, &c.) where he recom mends us to mingle mirth and gravity in our studies. We feared to be vivacious and pointed, lest we- should be condemned as frivolous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure which has'ever been visited upon unhappy authors since the time that the Athenians burned the books of Protagoras, and the Romans hunted Diogenes and his companions out F k city, for telling more than they wished to hear. " Human Natur," as Dick Stapleton phrases it, would have inclined us to be a little vain, thereby following the counsel of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Senec a and Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like varnish, that not only makes wood shine, but last ; but we drew ourselves up, and, upon reflection, decreed that self-praise, so far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the com pounders of Alorisen's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Alan's Oint ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizin our pen, first wrote a furiou s l e tt er t o D r . Di onys i us Lardner, com plaining that science had not yet discovered some piece of me chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and sizes by steam—then set about inditing one after the good old fashioned plan. The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re cherche repast; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut coat, or ad unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuyee pants for the last new novel, or the opera ; the Rational Man al ine loves an honest and clever newspaper. But where is he to find it? Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin ; for we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of the Liberal Me tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George Robins, who confessed, with a yawn and a sigh, that beginning with the oldest, and leaving off with the youngest,—" the chief of the Irish Press," (a tribute, by the way, paid to our own humble exertions by the honest Sheffield iris)—" he never had the misfortune to have submitted to his inspection so bad a lot, or one which would furnish such scanty materials for the puff ex traordinary." Spenser tells us that the Dublin Liberal News papers, or " carryers of newes," in his time were " fooles and notable rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has described the present generation as downright blockheads; while Air. O'Connell, by way of driving home the na4l, designates the whole concern A PALTRY PRESS." These be hard lines, as the sailors' say, but " non noster hie sernio." It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something i the shape of an able and honest Journal is required to " stop the gap." To put such an intellectual vehicle upon the road, we think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal placehunter, "o r e l se you w i ll reckon but few readers." Upon this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number of newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup port one which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them the truth. " All that mortal art bath wrought, In our cell returns to nought; The molten gold returns to clay, The polish'd di amon d melts away. All is altered, all is flown— Nought stands fast but truth alone." In Politics we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People, utterly regardless of the smil es or f rowns of the select and interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous and often profitless— " Hard is his task who edits—thankless job— A weekly journal for the factious mob ; Alike undone, or if he praise or rail ; For this affects his safety, that his sale : He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set— If loud, for libel—and if dumb, for debt." We sha always be happy, when we can agree with those men who, nowever they may sometimes err, have rendered efficient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of liberty; but w shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy which holds out Promises to suffering millions which are never likely te be realized— "My father, Time, is weak and grey, With waiting for a better day," We shall judge the Government by its acts, and shall oppose aPremier, be he Whig, Tory, or Radical, when we find him averse te the removal of the remnant of the Penal Code, which, absurdly enough, forbids the appointment of a Roman Catho lic Chancellor ;—a Colonial Secretary. when he resists the Ballot ;—or even so amiable and enlightened a Statesman as the present Irish Secretary, when he seems half disinclined to grant an increase of popular privileges to the Irish people. Conscientiously believing that Ireland never can become gene rally happy and contented until she again has the advantage of a DOMESTIC LEGISLATURE, we shall persevere, by arguments and facts, to advocate the REPEAL OF THE UNION, as not more beneficial to Ireland than the Sister Kingdom. We will bring into the field the heavy artillery of reason, aided by the light brigade of wit and humour. We shall be staid with the steady, and mirthful with the light-hearted. Pursuing "the even tenor of our way," we shall " run on glittering like a brook in the sunshine," " From grave to gay, from lively te severe." The Statesman will find us political, and the Lawyer will discover that we know a thing or two ; the Physician shall proclaim us lovers of the healing art ; the Sportsman shall learn that we can clear a muntry with him. " THE WORLD" to the Lady of Fashion shall be as a Court Gazette, and the Agriculturist shall not have to complain of our negligence ; the interests of the Merchant and Manufacturer shall receive our close attention ; the United Service will find us, as of old, at tached to the cloth ; we shall " take our garland and singing robes about us" with the Poet ; visit the studio of the Artist ; and deal our impartial criticism at the Theatre.

BOW-STREET. On Sazilday, Alfred Wyse, who stated that he was a cutler, and employed to sell goods on commission, was charged with the following outrageous assault. Mrs. West, a very respectably-dressed female, stated that her husband was the superintendent of Hungerford Market. On Friday evening she was p ass i ng t h rough Wych-street, Drury-l ane , when the defendant, who was in a state of intoxication, came up to her, and after making use of the most disgusting language, laid hold of her, and assaulted her in a most indecent manner. Her cries brought some persons to the spot, when the defendant had the impudence to tell them that she (complainant) had been with him to a house ' of an improper description, and had robbed him while there. The mob that assembled believed his story, and the consequence was, that her appeals to them for protection were only laughed at. She at length went into a shop in order to avoid him ; but the de fendant not only followed her, but repeated his attack upon her character ; and it was not until she paid a person to fetch a policeman that she was enabled to get rid of him. The complainant, who was much of fected while giving her evidence, said that she was snore hurt at the base insinuations of the defendant, and the credit they obtained from the by-standers than at any other part of the defendant's conduct, bad as it was in other respects. Tile defendant pleaded intoxication in excuse for his conduct. Mr. JARDINE said that he had never met with a a more abominable case. The defendant, not satisfied with indecently assaulting the complainant, had after wards made a most infamous attack upon her character, and to the disgrace of those who heard his abominable story was believed, and all protection to the unfortu nate victim of his brutality refused. If conduct like that wero to go unpunished, there would be no possi bility of respectable females walking through the streets of the metropolis, for they would be at the mercy of every . ruffian who had sufficient impudence to conduct himself in the abominable manner the defendant had done. He then sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of 41., and, in default of payment, committed him for three weeks to the House of Correction. The defendant declared he could not pay the mo ney, and was consequently committed. HATTON-GARDEN. Harriet Stanley, a bitter looking piece, was charged with assaulting her husband, a man of the most respec table but care-worn appearance. The complainant stated, that be had been married to the defendant up wards of seven years, and no slave had experienced a more wretched term of apprenticeship. His means were amply sufficient to furnish them with every necessary in life, but were they four times the present amount she would squander it all away, and, moreover, involve him in debt. Times innumerable had she sold nearly every article of furniture while he had been in the country, and laughed at him on his return ; and if he bad dared to interfere in any way, " bang" went something at his head, and his life was constantly in danger. Mr. ComuE—She has been a pretty considerable plague to you then it seems ? Complainant—She has in truth been the plague. Mr. COMBE—fi is strange you hare not been able to manage her. Complainant—A regiment of soldiers would be more easy to control.—(Laughter.) Mr. COMBE—When did she last assault you ? Complainant—Last night, when I came home, she sa• luted me by striking me over the head. Mr. ComBE asked the " lovely woman" what she had to say for herself? Defendant—Nothing whatever ; I shall not degrade myself by answering your questions. She was ordered to find bail, and the unfortunate husband was advised to prefer articles of the peace against her at the next sessions. UNION-HALL. Thomas C. Cask, who described himself an American missionary, was charged with defrauding F. Fish, the landlord of the Ship and Bluecoat Boy public-house out of nine shillings' worth of eatables. The prisoner, after dining, and drinking a large quan tity of ale, called in the landlord, and, telling him he had no money to pay for it, then asked him to give him a bed for the night, and he would pay him in the morn. ing, from some money about to be paid him by the Rev. assented, s i sen Cl t e a d y , t a o n n d .

The prisoner said he could not starve, and he pro cured food to prevent his doing so.

On Sunday morning last the Excise officers, after waiting some short time in the shops, proposed to have the spirits without the clean shave, which was acceded to, and the above informations were filed in consequence.

MAIVSIO.II.HO USE. A young man, named Harris, who had long been known as a pickpocket, was charged with having robbed Mr. Sutton, a stock-broker, of his gold chain and seals. Mr. Sutton, who is an elderly gentleman, stated that as he was passing along Cheapside, towards St. Paul's, on Lord Mayor's day, he observed two men with great coats who pressed against him at the corner of Queen street. In an instant he felt a tug at his watch chain, and be found that the chain and seals had been dragged away ; the ring by which the chain was fastened to his watch having been broken by the violence of the pull. Policeman, No. .57, stated that he saw the prisoner busy in the crowd, at the work of trying gentlemen's pockets, and at last distinctly observed him dragging at Mr. Sutton's watch-chain. Witness seized him, and held him, but an at tack was made upon witness by a desperate gang of thieves, who surrounded him, knocked him down, and endeavoured to rescue the prisoner, whom, however, he held fast. Another witness also swore that he saw the prisoner grab at the watch-chain of the prosecutor. Mr. Sutton declared that policeman, N0..57, ren dered the most active and spirited assistance to him when he was hemmed in by the pickpockets. The prisoner blubbered and said that it was all a mistake, as he was an honest fellow, who never laid Lis hand upon anything that was not his own. He was committed for trial. If the watch had been stolen, the loss to Mr. Sutton would have amounted to 1001. On Friday mot ning, nt the general hour • of bllsir*:• 3s ; the absence of Mr. William Un win Sims w, is regarded as ominous at his place of business, the lteel-Yard, Upper Thames-street, his punctuality being ; ,roverbial. Between the hours of 10 and eleven OV° ck h a mes senger arrived from his residence in Medi [ox-street, announcing the melancholy intelligence, w bids soon spread through the commercial circles in the ( ity. At first the suicidal act was so irreconcilable to t b e habits of Mr. Sims, that it was regarded as ahnost im t x "obable, and it w as not until a confirmation of the e" nt was broadly asserted upon the Royal Each:lnge al d the City Clubs, of which the unfortunate ge.'stlema n was a member, that the news obtained creden,le. Upon inquiries at the deceased's house, the fate of Mr. Sims was no longer doubtful. The unfortt mate gentleman, h appeared, had returned home a bou half.past ten o'clock on Thursday evening, appare at]; very dejected ;he hesitated, contrary to his usual cus torn, in the passage of his residence before pro'c'vt lion to his room, but no importance was attached to the e cumstance, as he was a man of generally reserved di s' position, and had been labouring under depression o spirits for the last fortnight, consequent upon the de privation of intellect of a beloved sister. It is an extra ordinary circumstance that nbne of the inmates of the house heard the report of fire-arms during the night, although persons were sleeping immediately above and below his chamber, where the fatal act was committed. The next morning the first person who discovered ihim was his valet, named Bent, and information was :for warded to Mr. Higgs, one of the Coroners for West minster, who isued his warrant for the holding of ttha inquest at six o'clock on Saturday evening. THE INQUEST. On Saturday evening at six o'clock an inquisition wao .aken before Mr. Higgs and a Jury of highly respect able inhabitant householders of the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, at the Coach and Horses, Maddox street, Regent-street, on the body of William Unwin Sims, Esq., aged 43, lately residing at No. 12 in the same street for upwards of eleven years past, and who terminated his existence on Friday morning by blowing his brains out. The respectability of the deceased, and the influence he had acquired in the commercial world for seve ral years past, rendered the investigation one of painful interest, and among those present in the inquest-room were several gentlemen connected with mercantile affairs who had formerly enjoyed the friendship of the deceased during his lifetime. The unfortunate gentleman, in ad dition to holding the distinguished post of a Director of the Bank of England, was also Chairman of the Great Western Railway Company, and Chairman of the Glenarvon Iron Company. Mr. 'reasdale, solicitor, of Fenchureh-street, attended on behalf of the friends and relatives of the deceased.. The jury having been sworn, they proceeded to the deceased's residence, to execute the painful task of viewing the body. Upon entering the back room of the first floor, they discovered the mutilated remains of the deceased in bed ; he was undressed, and in his right hand was firmly clenched a large horse-pistol, the con tents of which had evidently been discharged into the deceased's mouth, as the shattered remnant of his head was reclining on the pillow. The candle and stick, with the extinguisher, was placed upon a table near the bed. The jury having returned to the inquest-room, the fol lowing evidence was adduced. William Brent sworn—l was servant to the deceased, and was present when the jury viewed the body, at No. 12, Maddox -street, which is that of my late master ; I was in the habit of calling Mr. Sims about eight o'clock, and five minutes before that hour on Friday morning I went to his bed-room with some hot water ; his door was open ; it was not usual for him to lock it. I went into hi ;'sitting-room and opened the shutters, and took out his dirty boats and trousers ; I then re turned into the bed-room ; the curtains of the bed were drawn, and I did not sec the deceaied ; I returned to the door, as it was usual for him to give me my orders as I left the room; he was a single man, and slept alone ; I cleaned his boots and brushed his trousers and hat, and placed them, as was my custom, in the draw ing -room ; I then went home to Avery-row, and had my breakfast ; I returned to 12, Maddox -st ree t, a b ou t a .quarter -past nine o ' c l oc k, and a lady, named Hosen, knocked and rang at the door ; she asked me to see Mr. Sims, and Miss Gressier, the daughter of the landlady, went up stairs and knocked at the deceased's bed-room door ; she returned down stairs in a few mi nutes, and said that she could get no answer. She then told me to go up and inform the deceased that Mrs. Ho sen had called, and wished to know if she should wait, or call again. I went up and knocked at the door and repeated the message twice, but received no answer. I then en tered the room, and I observed to Miss Gressier that he must be dead. She said I had better send for a doctor, but I replied that we had first better be sure that something was the matter. I drew back the curtains, and I found my master in the position he now is. He had a pistol, with the lock down, in his right hand, and the upper part of the bedclothes were partly off him. He was in his night shirt. By the CORONER—He had put out the light. I never saw the pistol before. I have not observed the pistol-case in the drawing-room. I can give no account of the previous state of his mind. He was reserved in his habits, and was a gentleman that seldom changed words with his servant. On Thursday morning he ap peared as usual, and desired Mrs. Gressier to let him have his breakfast as soon as she could, and shortly after I took it up to him. I did not see the deceased on Thursday night. By the Jury—When I saw, the state of the deceased I went immediately for Mr. Cantis, a surgeon, who at tended promptly, The room was dark, and the surgeon was obliged to have a light to exithine the body. The pistol case might have been in the drawing-room for several days without my noticing it. Mr. Henry Cantis, 8, Maddox -street, surgeon, was next sworn. I was sent for on Friday morning about a quarter past nine o'clock. I attended immediately, and. found the deceased in the position the Jury have seen him. lam of opinion he had been dead from four to six hours. I found the ball had entered the mouth and passed through the brain into the back part of the head or scalp. I felt quite plainly that the ball had lodged there. A Juror said that it was a remarkable thing the ball had not passed through the head of the deceased. By the Jury—lt is impossible for me to say whether he committed the act while he was in a sitting position or not ; but I think it is likely he was in a sitting po sition, and that he fell backwards in the agony of death, There was clotted blood trickling from the bed. I did not know the deceased during his lifetime. The beadle said he was informed by Mr. Curtis, a tailor, in Maddox -street, that he was awoke between three and four o'clock on Friday morning by what he thought was a slamming of a door, but since he had heard of this unfortunate occurrence he believed it was the discharge of a pistol. Miss Ann Gressicr, of No. 12, Maddox-street, exa mined—The deceased was a merchant, and has lodged with me for above eleven years. I believe his age was thirty-eight. [This was contradicted by Mr. Teasdale, who said the deceased was about 43.] Examination continued.--I let the deceased in on Thursday afternoon about four o'clock, and I observed that he was depressed in spirits. He was not in the habit of speaking except when he desired anything. He left the house about five o'clock, and I then per ceived, as he passed the window, that his under-lip was firmly compressed, and that there was more care about his countenance than usual. He returned home at half past ten o'clock at night, and then he stood behind me on the mat, which was not usual ; he generally advanced forward in the passage, and I thought that he was re maining behind to pull off his dirty boots. I gave him lights, and he went directly up to his room, and I think went to bed. At 12 o'clock I looked through the cracks of his bed-room door, and saw that he had put out his lights. I did not hear the report of a pistol during the night. There were in the house, besides myself, my mother and a young lady, a visitor. I sleep in the attic, my mother in the room directly underneath the de ceased's bed-room, The pistols and case have for some time been in the same place, as the case now is, in the drawing -room. The pistols were bought for his brother Charles when he went to India, but they did not suit him. By the Jury—He did not appear to be mad or frantic on Thursday, but he was melancholy and d e j ecte d . His appetite, p ar ti cu l ar ly at breakfast time, was very indif ferent lately ; be had not spoken for four days to his servant, which was very unusual. By the Coroner—The deceased has lately been very depressed, in consequence of the illness of his sister, and family affliction. I have reason to think his sister was affected in her mind. He did not eat any breakfast on Thursday morning. Mrs. .Hosen is a cousin of the deceased. Edwin Wheeler Mills, of the firm of Glyn, Mills, and Company, bankers, of Lombard-street—l knew the late Mr. Sims ; he kept an account at our banking house ; h: was decidedly in affluent circumstances, and has a very handsome balance in our hands at this time. I will name the amount if you like. Mr. Teasdale said that was not necessary. Examination continued —Tim deceased was in my judgment, far, very far, from being in pecu niary difficulties. He was a Director of a Fire Mr. Teesdale said, Mr. Sims' brother was in attend ance, but he was anxious to spare his feelings. Several of the Jury observed that the case was sa , plain, that it was unnecessary to examine deceased's brother. The Coroner said he agreed with them. However, it was at the discretion of any of the Jury to call for further evidence. One of the Jury here rose and expressed a wish that the deceased's brother should be called in, which gave rise to cries of " No, no." The CORONER-4 think, Gentlemen, the evidence of Dr. Gordon and of Miss Gressier leaves scarcely any doubt of the deceased's insanity at the time he destroyed himself. You have heard that a paroxym of insanity frequently comes on, and cannot be at all accounted for, from the previous habits and conduct of a party. I knew, myself, a gentleman who was collector to a musi cal society, and he had his pocket picked of some money belonging to the funds of the society. He told the so ciety of his loss, and they believed it ; but the circum stance so preyed upon the mind of the deceased, that in a paroxy in of rage he stabbed himself : and, upon his re covering from his wound, he declared that he had no re collection whatever of having inflicted the injury. The Coroner concluded by asking the Jury if they would wish the room to be cleared of strangers while they were considering their verdict? The foreman said it was unnecessary, and he believed all his brother Jurors had made up their minds that it was a case of insanity. The same Juror who before rose remarked that he conld not agree to such a verdict. The CORONER—WeII, Gentlemen, there are 15 of you, and if 12 agree to a verdict, that will be sufficient. A verdict that the deceased "destroyed himself whilst labouring under a fit of temporary insanity," was then instantly agreed to by the whole of the Jury, with the exception of the single dissentient. Mr. Simms was a most exemplary and amiable man in every relation of life, and highly respected by an ex tensive circle of friends and acquaintances. As the chairman of a great Company, but few were his equals. To a clear head, sound judgment, and great presence of mind in difflculties, he added an untiring zeal for th e interests of th e concern over wh i ch he ha the honour to preside. Immediately on the distressing occurrence being known, a committee of such Directors as could be got together was called, and steps taken to mitigate the effect which so heavy a loss will necessarily inflict for a time on the railway.—Railway Magazine. TAX ON PASTEBOARD GREATLY DETRIMENTAL TO THE TRADE OF PAISLEY. An able and enterprisin g tovvnsman has directed our attention to a serious drawback that is at present im posed on the trade of Paisley, by the heavy duty on pasteboard. Iu France, America, Belgium, Prussia, Russia, even in Egypt, and the most despotic States in theworld, every t ax t h at a ff ects native manufactures is removed, and every encouragement given otherwise to commerce and internal industry. It is not so, however, in Britain ; where the manufacturers are first laid under an impost of 30 per cent. on their food, and in many cases to that, and a far greater amount on the materials necessary for their business. It is now generally known that the Jacquard ma chine has been an important auxiliary for enabling the French shawl manufacturers to produce the varied and rich shawls which have long taken the lead ever those of Paisley. The principal cost of a pattern for the Jac guard is the pasteboard, and the tax at present levied on that article is 14s. on a quantity which costs 40s. to 465. Thus the tax on the pasteboard for the Jacquard machine amounts as nearly as possible to 35 per cent. on the gross price. _ . As may easily be supposed, such an impost on the British manufacturer, which his French rival is freed from, paralyses our shawl trade to a serious degree, and measures ought to be taken without delay to have the matter brought under the consideration of the Trea sury, and, if necessary, of Parliament, as the impost is just becoming the more serious as our manufactures advance in perfection. In proof of the amount of this burden on the trade of Paisley at present, we may state that one manufacturer has lately finished a pattern, the duty on the pasteboard of which cost him no less than 8/. The pasteboard for the general run of the finer fabrics, costs for each pattern from 21. to 61., or an ave rage of 4/. each. A pattern is not wrought more in gene ral than for six months, many of them for less periods, and taking the number of weavers engage d i n t hi s de scription of work, in connection with the town, at 4,000, and the pattern to be wrought six months, the yearly cost of pasteboard for their patterns (were they all working Jacquards), would amount to 42,0001., and the tax paid to Government to no less a sum than 11,2001. Besides paralyzing trade, by making the pat terns more limited and expensive, the prelent substitute for the Jacquard, of boys and girls, is admitted on all hands to exercise a most detrimental influence on the morals of the population, by tho promiscuous mixing up of youth of both sexes in the workshops, by preventing their education, and then by keeping them for a year or two longer than they should be from being put to trades, thus injuring their proficien c y as workmen for years. Throwing every other consideration, however, over board, but the encouragement of our trade, the subject should be taken up without delay both by manufactu rers and workmen ; and as the consumption of paste board for this purpose is quite a new thing, the ever lasting argument against a reduction of taxation (that the revenue cannot afford it), does not apply in this case, as the revenue has not as yet drawn much from it. , - '-------'"---___ insurance Office, Chairman of ehe Great Western Rail way Company, Director of the Bank of Engiar, d, and also of the Glenarvon Iron Company.

He said his brother Henry was going to take a trip to Madrid, and that he (deceased) intended to accompany him for the benefit of his health. He said he must have relaxation, and he desired me to draw up a document, giving full powers to his brother Frederick to manage his affairs during his absence. He said he should very likely he absent three or six months. I observed that there wao n sallowness about his face, and that he looked ill, and I remarked to him that it was a pity he had not gone out of town before. Dr. Gordon, of Finsbury-square, sworn—l knew the deceased intimately for nearly twenty years ; I saw him on Monday last, when he called upon me ; he was dull, Ind anxious about his sister, whom I have had in charge. ~ Cc has evinced great anxiety for her. , 9 y Mr. Teasdale—The deceased told me some time ago twat his life was insured for about 20,0001. Mr. Teesdale —You have heard what has unfortu nately taken place ; now, do you believe that it occurred in a paroxysm of insanity ? Dr. Gordon—•l am sure it could not have taken place in any other way ; he was a gentleman of high moral and religious feeling; and in a conversation with me, when I was speaking of his having insured for so large An amount as a bachelor, he said he intended to leave an unlooked-for fortune for his family. All his desire ap peared to be to benefit his relatives. CORONER-4 believe those paroxyms of insanity ge verally come on very suddenly? Dr. Gordon—Always ; I need only refer to Sir Sa mud Ronailly and others ; and also to your own expe rience as a Coroner. The deceased was the very last man that I, as a physician with 25 years' experience, should have thought would have committed suicide. He was on all occasions extremely punctual in matters of , business. THE MARQUIS OF WELLESLEY.—The Earl of Mornington, father of the Marquis Wellesley, and of the Duke of Wellington, died several thousand pounds in debt. By virtue of a peculiar law, his property was inherited by his eldest son, the Marquis Wellesley, without being liable for the payment of his debts. The Marquis, nevertheless, from a conscientious spirit, resolved tc discharge all these debts before he should allow himself fully to enjoy the family pro perty. He lived for a few years with rigid economy, and thus saved enough of money to pay every farthing which his father had owed. Araring the creditors of the de ceased Earl was one who applied for the payment of 1.50/. The young Lord, upon examination, found that it bad been transferred, by a poor old man, to whom it was originally due, to the present possessor, for th e small sum of 501. " I will deal justly with you," said his Lordship, " but I will do no more. Here are the fifty pounds you paid for the bond, and legal interest for the time it has qeen in your pos session." The holder, knowing that he could not strictly claim a single shilling, was content with not losing any thing. 'But the Noble Lord who thus gave an early proof of that honour and in. tegrity which be afterwards displayed largely in offices of the highest trust, did not stop here; he sought out the original holder of the bill, and, finding him pa paid him the whole sum, with a large arrear of in term.
