Mr. HAnnwrcx said that he thought it probabl these implements had been covered over whilt officers were breaking into the house, and asked Baker whether he thought there had been time to de in the interval between the alarm and the entry ? Mr. Baker raplied that he thought there was. Mr. IlAnnwicx thought there was the highest pro bability that these prisoners knew that the room was used for gambling purposes. Mr. Wilkins said there never had been a conviction before without a proof being given that play was go ing on. Mr. HAnnwicx. said no doubt play was the strongest of all possible proofs, but it must be recollected that there were many other kinds of proof besides that. The . Magistrate here asked Mr. Baker if this house had teen entered before ? Mr. Baker replied that it had. After a short deliberation, Mr. HARDWICK said that it was absolutely necessary, in consequence of the ruin brought upon families by these gaming -houses, to im pose severe penalties where convictions took place, in order that a stop might be put to the practice. He should therefore inflict upon Courty a penalty of 601., and in default of payment he must be committed to the House of Correction for three calendar months. Upon Everett a penalty of 30/., and in default of payment three.calen dar months' imprisonment in the House of Correction; and upon the other three, for being present, ti fine of 31. each, or, in default, twenty-one days imprisonment in the House of Correction. Mr. Wilkins then intimated that Courty and Everett would appeal against the Magistrate's decision, and were ready now to enter into their recognisances to appear at the sessions. The other three prisoners paid the fines inflicted. The prisoner Courty is a respectable-looking man, of about fifty years of age. The next case was the " Prince's" Club, Piccadilly - . Superintendent Maclean proved that he went with - his constables to No. 162, Piccadilly, and, on gaining an en- trance, went up stairs, and found a chess-board and men, and a backgammon-board, but no other implements 9f gaming. There was a place contrived to facihtate escape from the house. Two books were also found, which contained a bill for 1,000/. and another for TOOL - Pour persons were taken into custody, who gave the ;names of Henry Richardson, Henry Seymour, Charles* Moseley;' - and John Jones. Cross-examined by Mr. Wilkins—A door was broken by the constables, because it was locked. The desk and boxes were broken by the police. Part of the cloth was torn from a table, to see what was under it. Did not in sist upon having the female servants examined. They were going . to bed when the police entered their room. The room in which the chess-board was found was bril liantly lighted up. Mr. HARDWICK asked if the superintendent had any more direct evidence of gaming to produce than he had offered ?--The superintendent replied in tho negative. Mr. HARDWICK—I do not conceive the evidence goes far enough in this case, to afford legal proof of this house being a gaming-house. The chess-board and men I do not think constitute a sufficient case, as they might have been there without gambling being contemplated. I cannot receive the belief of any one as to the character of the house. I must have facts, and as Ido not find them placed before me, without determining the question whether this is or is not a gaming -house, I am bound to say the case is not sufficiently proved, the parties all being charged not as keeping the house, but as being there without lawful excuse ; and I shall therefore dis charge them from custody. The next charge was against Thomas Wilson, James Cripps, Henry Scott, and Join! Godfrey, for being found without lawful excuse in the gaming -house, 12, Bury street. The case was proved by the superintendent of the D division, who entered the house armed with the proper warrant, and found the defendants in a room up stairs with implements of gambling in it. The fine of 31. was inflicted on all of them. The next case was against the house 52, Albemarle street. Superintendent Maisey proved that entrance was gained by breaking through five doors, and by forcing one of the windows. The constables found five persons in the room, but no gambling implements. Mr. HARDWICK asked if there was any evidence of this being a common gambling-house? Inspector Beresford Ras called. He said he knew the house was a reputed gaming -house, but he had never been inside. Mr. HARDWICK said, if he arrived at the conclusiOn that a particular house was a low gaming-house, he must have legal evidence of sufficient strength ; what ever the presumption was, there certainly was no legal proof that gambling was carried on, therefore be must order the five defendants to be discharged. The next charge was against the house, No. 47, Al bemarle-street, known as the " New Bentley." Superintendent Carter, S division, obtained, an en trance into the house, and on going up stairs found two rooms lighted up, but no gaming implements. On look ing over the house some dice-boxes, counters, and ha zard-table covers were found on the roof. ' On cross-examination this witness admitted that si milar proceedings had occurred next door. Mr. Wilkins contended there was no case to answer, for it was possible that the counters and dice-boxes on the roof might have been thrown there by persona from the adjoining house. Mr. HARDWICK said there was the strongeSt suspi cion, but no direct proof, that this house was a gaming house. He must give the party the benefit of the doubt, and discharge him. The next case was against the " Strangers," Regenta. street. John Jones, John Watkins, and- John Wilmot, were' charged with being found in the house. Superintendent Mallalieu, 11 division, said he went to 27, Regent-street, about one o'clock, and went up stairs with some constables. Witness found the rooms 'lighted up, but no one was present. Witness found a hazard table, rakes, pouls, roulette-wheel, and counters. In a room beneath the play rooms found two persons, smoking cigars and drinking wine. The defendants Jones and Watkins said they did not intend to make • any excuse; they were there merely to smoke their cigars. Wilmot was about going to bed, and hi ad mitted he was waiter to Mr. Russell, the owner of the house. Mr. Howard, for the defence, said this house was a restaurant, and not a gaming house. The parties appre hended by the police were there on business, and they were taking refreshment, the same as any other strangers. Mr. HARDWICK asked Inspector Beresford if he knew whether the house was a club tavern ? Beresford said strangers would not be admitted. He had applied, and had been refused, on the ground that he was not a member. Mr. Howard contended that his clients were not called upon to assign any reason for being in the house,-aa•the house was not proved to be a gaming house. It was a , house opdn for refreshments, and he himself-when he had gone to the Opera had afterwards supped at Mr. Russell's house. Mr. HARDWICK was of opinion that the house was open for the purposes of gaming. He now wished ,to know if the defendants Jones and Watkins were there without lawful excuse. The reply was they were there to sell a horse to Mr. Russell. Mr. HARDwieK was of opinion that it was highly im probable such a transaction would take place at one o'clock in the morning. The next case was the house No. 2, Bennett-street. The charge was made by Superintendent Grin sell, but as nothing had been found to show the character of the house, the parties were discharged. The next case was a rough lot from 1, Leicester-court. The case was proved by Superintendent May. The parties, it appeared, played for such wretched stakes as pence. Mr. Hardwick fined the following defendants 20s. each :—Barney Riley, the owner; Gray, Wicks , Ral p h, Brown, Smith, Saunders, James, Possy, Pip e, and Lewis. The case against 75, Castle-street, was dis missed f rom want of proof. The next case was against the " Nick," at 16i, Castle street, Leicester-square.v,e Lewis, Foster, Keerer, Jone s , y, Matthew, Barrett, and To m Superintendent Lawrie, B division, proved the case against Green, Martin, Reedy. Inspector Beres ford said the place below was a coffee shop, but no o ne could obtain admi ttance upstairs until he b a d, what is technically termed, his " pict ure " ta k en . li e must undergo the ordeal of the coffee-shop, to see t hat he was not a disguised poli ceman. The next case was 160, Pi cca dil ly, proved by Superin tendent Young. John Wilson, G eorge J ohnson, and Thomas Stows were fined 31., fo r b e i ng found i n the h ouse w i t h out lawful excus e . The charge b roug ht b y S u p er i n t en d en t G r in se ll . a r Rogers, Humphries, Savory, failed, from the absence of legal proof, and the defend ants, Russell, Craycraft, and Onslow, were discharged. The next case was against the " Old Berkley," 46, Albemarle-street. The defendants were John Redman, George Hicks, John Ward, William Smith, and two others, and Henry Wingfield and John Carter, who had not surrendered to their bail. Superintendent Bicknell proved the entry into the house under a proper warrant, and the seizure of gambling implements, and the capture of the defendants, who were all charged with being present without lawful excuse. The police seized also 141. 10s. in gold, and 2,9501. in bills. Mr. Wilkins said he would not take up the time of the Court by offering any defence. Mr. HAnDwrcii then inflicted the fine of 3L on all the defendants who appeared. of the An application was then made for the return money and bills to the owner of the house , who had not been convicted. Mr. HARDWICK said the money was in the char g e of the police, and any application about it mast be made to the Commissioners. He certainly should make no order on the subject. Mr. Wilkins said, although he had, as it were, offered no defence in the last case, it was not because he con sidered the case proved. But with respeet to the money ' in question, it was certainly not to be considered as for feited, inasmuch as the house had not been proved to be a gaming-house. After considerable discussion, it was at length agreed that the bills should be sealed up, and left in the hands of the police for the present. There were several other warrants executed, but as the parties had most probably received timely warning, the police were unable to possess themselves of sufficient evidence to warrant them in pressing the charges, of Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office for the Governor of Gibraltar.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford 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 cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums NOTICE T HE LONDON OFFICE OF THE STAR PACKET COMPANY IS REMOVED FROM LONDON-BRIDGE WHARF, TO THE OLD SHADES PIER, ABOVE LONDON-BRIDGE, THE PACKET LEAVES EVERY MORNING AT NINE.

They required answer the more, as they lay directly across Sir Robert's path—contradicted the principles he has ad vanced, and dissuaded the restriction of issues he proposes. It was a safer chivalry certainly to engage the Attwood apostles in preference ; but it was not paying (on Sir Robert's part) exactly the highest compliment, either to himself, or his audience. And what sort of relevancy had Sir Robert's citation of the smash in America ? Remark !—the question is not whether credit, and banking. may be abused —but whether, with a convertible currency, the abuse will take the shape of over-issue of notes. Does Sir Robert Peel mean to affirm that, if not one, or only one, of these American banks had been banks of issue—if the United States Bank had preserved its privileges—the loss of which he seems to consider the source of the evil—the vast wreck of American credit could thereby have been avoided ? Take Uncle Sam as the head of a family—who went on borrowing for years without means of paying—what does it signify to the main fact of his ultimate smash, whether he paid his servants and petty tradesmen in gold or paper ? It was not lJncle Sam's " shin-plasters," but his State stocks, his railway and canal shares, his gardens of Eden in the impervious forest, and his town lots in the eternal swamp—that did John Ball out of his money. Sir It Peel might as well tell us that Dense was seduced by a shower of small notes, as that these were the elements of corruption between us and Brother Jona than. We wish to heaven statesmen would try to talk less nonsense about America. The real source of mischief in transactions with that, as with other new countries, is the absurd delusion prevailing in old ones about the enormous rates of profit there to be reaped. This is emphatically an old country delusion ; just like the vast value of waste lands. HORIZONTAL WATCHES, VERY FLAT. Ae B. SAVORY and SONS, Watchmakers , 9, • Cornhill, London, opposite the Bank.

Only twenty-two Members being present when the Speaker took the Chair, the House stood adjourned till to-morrow. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. STANDARD.—The two Joe Humes of Parliament — Lord Normanby in the House of Lords,und the Josephus ipse in the House of Commons--r/ust night raised two debates upon the now familiar subject of Lord Ellen borough's recal. The Earl of Ripon in the one House, and Sir Robert Peel in the other, resisted the produc • Lion of the correspondence between the Board of Con trol and the Court of Directors, on the ground that a full investigation, in the absence of Lord Ellen borough, was impossible, and that a partial dis closure would be unjust to his Lordship, while any recurrence to the dispute, before the new Governor- General should be fixed in his high office, must render his government more difficult, not merely by fettering his exercise of his own independent judgment, but by exciting ground less hopes in some, and groundless apprehensions in others. The noble "Joe Hume " did not make any for mal motion upon which a division could be taken, and the authentic Member for Montrose was defeated by a majority of 197 to 21. The Whigs, as represented by Lord Campbell in the House of Lords and Mr. Macaulay in the House of Commons, made the most of the opportunity to worry the Government, afforded to them by the act of the Direc tors ; but, after all, with little chance of &Recess, as we suspect, in the opinion of the public. The Government, it is not to be denied, are in a difficulty, but it is a diffi culty in the' creation of which they are wholly blame less ; a difficulty, in fact, of that kind which few who have lived long in the world have escaped encounter ing at some one time or another, even in their indi ' vidual character—a difficulty analagous to that in which men are so often involved by the " indiscretion" or fully of those with whom they are connected by family ties, by friendship, or business. In such a per plexity it is often impossible to exculpate oneself with out ruining the delinquent that has involved him in it, and seriously injuring innocent parties. When this happens, the conscientious and prudent man submits in silence to suspicion and reproach. This is just the case of the Government at present; they wish to defend the Directors against the effect of the enormous " indiscretion" committed in the recal of Lord Ellenborough, and they wish to protect India from the fatal consequences of a display of dis union in the governing power to which that great empire is subjected, and they are therefore compelled to hold back the defence of their injured col league. Meanwhile the Directors are, without any such intention, giving to the public the materials of Lord Ellenberough's justification. The Morn _ MONEY.

DEPARTMENT OF MEDICAL STATISTICS—WiIIiam Farr, ESCI., General Register Office. ACTUARY—F. G. P. Neison, Esq. This Office is provided with very accurately constructed tables, by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms. Similar tables enable the Society to grant increased annuities on unsound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease. Members of consumptive families assured at equitable rates. Healthy lives are assured on lower terms than at most ether offices. The first Life Assurance Society commenced business in 1705, and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So ciety in 1841 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of persons who suffer from disease. The science of statistics has only within a recent period been successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in. formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office, is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life assurance on diseased lives on a mere secure basis than even that on healthy lives. It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons, it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons labouring under disease; and to this latter feature particular atten tion is directed. In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than all other offices can have unitedly; and in the Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more permanent foundation. These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease. The period of life most important to an assurance office is that be tween 15-60 years of age, and in the following remarks we refer exclusively to this period of life. It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that more than one-third of the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva lence of a single disease; and If the same inquiry were instituted with respect to other diseases, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases of the head, heart. &c., it would be found that more than one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—ln Bir mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 1,988, forming considerably more than one-third of the whole. The same thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and from six important diseases, 9,754 ; in the latter case forming more than 42 per cent, of the deaths from all causes. On reference to the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being more than 45 per cent, of the deaths from all causes. The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, on a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since it thus appears that a majority of the population is included in this class, the value and importance of the new feature of this society cannot fail to be justly appreciated. The second point to be explained is the fact that there is much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and deserves to be carefully considered. The real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different degree of mortality from that•expected by the tabjes on which its caculations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation of mortality, and will be found to be much less among diseased lives than over the general population, and among selected lives. The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are sufliciensly near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the matter to figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only 9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in consumption was only one.fifth of the other ; and in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute In its results than that which regulates the general population. Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi dered more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question under consideration; but the same test has been applied to a great number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c., the fluctuation was only 7i per cent., and in five diseases in a different district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation did not exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns in England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important diseases was 6'4 per cent. The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality in disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole range of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be depended on. It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in England and Scotland, as well as to many rural districts in Eng land, and included the experience of one or two large societies of select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the effects of locality and its sanatory condition en the duratien of life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, viz., that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun. try districts than in large cities; but that of those persons who suffer from disease the value of life is nearly the same. As an example of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country districts is 36.7 years; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years—diffe rence 33 per cent, nearly . ; but take the case of persons of that age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will ultimately die of consumption, and their expectation of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5, in cities (Glasgow) 14.4, and In the metropolis, Manchester, Bir mingham, 13'9 ; difference 'Ol7 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It therefore appears that while the difference between country and town life in the former case is about 33 per cent., that in the latter instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the results nearly uniform. The same thing holds good with some other diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. This fact, although not generally understood, is only what might have been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in. fluenced by external circumstances. Ithence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased lives is much less than among select lives and the population gene rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be less. To apply this conclusion to the affairs of an assurance office, it may be stated, that supposing the number of lives in a society, taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would indicate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have always sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths; on the other hand, an office assuring only diseased lives need not provide for more than 109 deaths per annum; that is to say, the risk of assuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45, or only one-fifth. This fact is highly important to the interests of this Society, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctness of the principles on which it is founded. For further information, reference is made to the prospectuses and other published doeumonts of the Society, which may be ob. tained, on application at the Society's offices. F. a, P. NEISON, Actuary. _ ing Chronicle, evidently prompted from Leaden hall-street, says that the Directors were compelled to dismiss the Governor-General because they were not invested with any power to stop the supplies, and they found their Governor-General too expensive. This re duces the quarrel to an affair of pounds, shillings, and pence ; and it is extremely likely that the Parlia ment and the public will come to a conclusion re specting it very different from that at which the Directors have arrived. Under favour, we must think that commercial men are not the best qualified to judge of the means by which a great empire is to be defended, or very rich men the most disinterested upon a question of necessary taxation—we think it even more than probable that if it had been left to the identical twenty-three Directors who recalled Lord Ellenborough to decide upon our own property-tax, the revenue would not now exhibit the surplus that happily it does exhibit. It is only in natures of a high order indeed, that full pockets do not prove fatal to pro vidence and patriotism, if not to humanity—" crescit amor," &c., says the proverb. If the Directors and Lord Ellenborough disagreed upon the batta—an extraordi nary allowance to be made to the gallant troops engaged in foreign service—we will venture to say that the people of England will side with him whose views were the more liberal, more especially as the withholding the batta in question has given occasion for mutinies, the suppression of which has cost, in money only; to say nothing of the sacrifice of affection, more than three or four times the batta saved. GLOBE. —The " principles" of Sir Robert Peel are something like the conscience of Baillie Macwheeble, which was described as " a good-natured conscience, that never did him any harm." It may be said, in like manner, of Sir Robert's " principles," that they never do him any harm ; for he avows that he stops short of them on system, to avoid collision with existing interests. It is also sometimes an agreeable disap pointment to the interests in question to discover that Sir Robert's bark is worse than his bite ; and accord ingly we find Bank Stock, and Joint •Stock Bank Shares, as well as the Funds, showing a tendency to rise— suspense being removed as to the weight with which Sir Robert's paternal ferule was to descend on the cul prits horsed on the subministrant back of Goulburn. We are inclined to suspect that Sir Robert Peel de serves the title of " the first financier of the day" in somewhat like manner as George the Fourth deserved that of "the first gentleman in Europe" —namely, by making the best imaginable bow to a subject, on first accosting it—not by having anything particular to say to it afterwards. If " the first financier of the day" is the man who can deal best with the common-place of a subject—who can best establish what nobody in his audience disputes—we confess his claim to the de signation. But we should have thought, that to merit that title, there was required more than the mere faculty to show up, at their full length, admitted and glaring absurdities. We should have thought there was required subtlety and acuteness to penetrate the dark and disputed passages—the difficulties which the subject presents to instructed persons. Sir Robert Peel has either exercised his own mind very little on those difficulties, or else he is diffident of his power of exposi• tion to make them clear to other minds, or, finally, he has taken a contemptuous measure of those of his audi tors, and is determined, above all things, to avoid the ex ample of him, who— " Too deep for his hearers, still went on refining, And thought of convincing, while they thought of dining." But we must be permitted to say that, from a statesman who makes so much fuss about the " principles" of a subject, we had a right to expect, on this occasion, a luminous exposition of those principles. We had a right to expect something more than to be told that Sir R. Peel differs from Adam Smith and Ricardo, in their opinion that convertibility of paper currency was sufficient to prevent over-issue; and that new lights have been discovered since their time, which new lights Sir Robert Peel follows. We have not the slightest in timation what those lights are, though we have a shrewd guess at them; and could also, we think, enu merate those of them which are now burning in the Bank parlour. But to be told that Sir Robert Peel differs from Adam Smith and Ricardo, without being told why, is really presuming quite sufficiently on the Times-honoured title of " the first financier of the day." A Minister who affects t h e assertion of large "principles"—larger than he tests by practice — incurs the obligation of giving the most complete possible exposition of those principles. If he assumes the chair of the public lecturer, it is incumbent on him to see that he fills it well. Now from what lecturer on currency, we should like to know, would be tolerated for a moment such a skip from Brummagem and Philadelphia to con clusions in favour of a sole bank of issue ?—and prac tical propositions, not indeed going that length, but tending in that direction ? The whole difficulty f the subject lies—not in answering advocates of inconvertible currency—not in expatiating on the abuses of credit, whether on this or the other side of the Atlantic—but in establishing the connection of those abuses with unrestricted liberty of issue. That connec tion Sir R. Peel did not even attempt to establish. He took it for granted. But he had no right to take it for granted. He repeated merely the results of the lesson taught him by Old Mother Hubbard and her sons. But the correctness of that lesson is disputed. Right or wrong, it is disputed ; and disputed by many persons of unques tioned abilities, and practical knowledge of the subject. We need only mention the names of a few of the gentlemen examined by the last Committee. Mr. Tooke, the well known author of the " History of Prices," and of a recent able treatise on the currency principle. Mr. Stuckey, the head of the banks of Somersetshi re under his firm, which are described as admirably conducted, who was formerly, by his position, in intimate communicatio n w ith th e late Lord Liverpool (one of Sir Robert Peel's oracles) and Mr. Huskisson, and was examined by the famous Bullion Com mittee. Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Alexander Blair, treasurer and manager of the Bank of Scotland, who mentions the circumstance that, while there has been a great exten sion of banking capital, and of banking accommodation, and of banking competition, in Scotland since 1826, the amount of the aggregate circulation has considerably diminished. " What a commentary," observes Mr. Tooke, "upon the received doctrine of the power of banks to increase their issues of paper money as suits their interest or convenience; and that it is the effect of the competition of banks of issue to create a vast mass of worthless paper 1" Now, we say that the opinions of practical men, based upon facts like these, and coming THE ATLAS of the SOCIETY for the DIF FUSION of USEFUL KNOWLEDGE is now ready, con taining Two Hundred and Eighteen Maps, and a copious Index of Names.

APPREHENSION OF A GANG OF GAMBLERS. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS AT MARLBOROUGH-STREET. The greatest degree of excitement prevailed in the . neighbourhood of Regent-street and Marlborough-street yesterday morning, in consequence of the apprehension of a numerous gang of gamblers, which had been effected by the police the previous night, or rather at an early hour yesterday morning. The vicinities of the station-houses in which the cap tured prisoners were confined, and of the Police-court, were crowded to excess. As soon as the night charges had been disposed of the cases were called on. Mr. Hardwick was the presiding magistrate. The following are the names of the prisoners :—Robt. Salmon, Richard Marten, Richard Collett, Charles Wil liamson, John Willis, Abraham Lyon, Edward Kelly, George Sampson, John Hilton, John Chapman, James Thompson, Joseph Marten, John Lewis, Charles Forster, J.

W, Mott, John Humphrey, John Jones, Henry Beauclerk, Edward Wright, Charles Wilson, William Johnson, Thomas Russell, Thomas Hounslow, John Carter, John Red man, and John Ward. Lord Montford and several gentlemen were on the bench. The Court was crowded to excess. Shortly after twelve o'clock the first batch of five prisoners was brought in and placed at the bar, namely, Wm. Courty, Joseph Everett, Jonathan Reeves, Wm. Williams, and Wm. Lftch. Mr. Baker, the superintendent of the C division of police, was the first witness called. Having produced his authority, he stated that at one o'clock that morning he entered the house, No. 60, Jermyn-street, St. James's, called " The Cottage." He found Everett at the front door. The first entry was made through the window by means of a ladder, by Mr. Beresford. Everett was then in the custody of a constable, on the charge of acting as door-keeper. He then proceeded up stairs, and found Courty in the first-floor front room, and charged him with having the care and management of the house, and residing and living on the premises. Mr. Wilkins, the barrister, at this point requested that the other officers might be excluded from the Court while Mr. Baker was being examined. Mr. Baker proceeded—l found the table in this room, a roulette table and wheels complete, besides several rakes and roulette balls, and two dice boxes were taken from Mr. Courty's pocket. In a bank I found 366 counters, a pair of spectacles, and a pack of cards. Reeves was also in the passage at the foot of the stairs, and appeared as if he had just come down. Williams and Leech I found in the front room first-floor, where the gaming implements were found. When I entered there was no gaming going on ; and the reply of Mr. Courty to my questions was, that "he was just taking a glass of brandy and water with his friends, who had called in upon him." Prisoner Courty—Which was the fact, Sir. Mr. Baker continued—He was then removed to the station in charge. . _ . Cross-examined by Mr. Wilkins—Altogether I took ten or twelve officers with me. Francis Evans is a re spectable householder, at the corner of Jermyn• street ; he is a mercer. George Keeth is an ironmonger residing in Brewer-street. These persons had complained to me. They bad been churchwardens for the parish, and are chosen again. One of the officers got in at the window by a ladder. One of my officers had asked admittance at the door. I cannot say that an attempt had been made to enter at the door before the ladder was put to the window. I did not hear Mr. Courty say that had we waited a minute we should have been admitted. The things produced were found in the first-floor room. I saw Everett in the passage. One of my officers opened the door to me. Henry Beresford—l am one of the inspectors of the C division. About one o'clock this morning I accom panied Mr. Baker to 60, Jermyn-street. I took a ladder with me, as it had been arranged that if re sistance to our entry Was offered, we should make our way in at the window. As I approached the house I saw the door slammed to. I then took the lad der and placed it against the window, upon which Mr. Courty, I believe, shut the shutters. I immediately broke a pane of glass, and attempted to raise the sash, but could not do so. I next attempted to break in the sash with my foot, but at this moment four rounds of the ladder broke, and I was very near falling back wards into the street, but caught hold of the ladder, and although I hurt my hand very much, I saved myself from falling. At this moment I heard the constables calling, "It's all right—we are in," and I descended the ladder and went into the house. To the best of my belief I saw all five prisoners in the house, either in the room on the first floor, or on the landing place. In one corner of the room I found a roulette wheel, with one of the ordi- nary table covers, and the other articles produced. I was then directed to take the names of the various prisoners. Courty was taken first. He said he was the servant there in charge of the house. Everett said he was em ployed as porter ; and the others said they were merely there, but had nothing to do with the house. They were merely visiting there. The prisoners and imple ments were then taken to the station-house. Cross-examined by Mr. Wilkins—When I went in the implements were concealed—they were not visible until I took the cloth off them. I saw the door slammed, but could not say by whom this was done. The moment I heard this I placed the ladder to the window. Wm Rogers, 64 C—About one o'clock this morn • ing I went, in company with Mr. Beresford, to 60, Jermyn-street. When I got there I saw the door opened, and rushed in. Everett immediately looked out. I rushed forward, and another constable came up and seized Everett. I went up stairs, and in the first floor front room took charge of the door. There were three or four persons in the room, I cannot say which. Mr. Baker and Mr. Beresford requested me to stop at the door of the room while they searched the house, and I did so. I know nothing more. Mr. Wilkins—l have nothing to ask this man. Wm. Morris, 173 C—l went with other constables to 60,3 ermyn street. The door was opened. I rushed is and took Everett into custody ; he was behind the door. I went no further, but remained there while the others went up stairs. Reeves was, at the time, coming down stairs. Mr. Wilkins submitted that the informer in this case had utterly failed in making out his case ; and there was no proof, in fact, that the house in question was a gaming-house. There was no case in which a conviction had taken place, in which the magistrate convicting had not required proof that gaming was going on at the time the officers entered. Here there was nothing beyond mere suspicion ; true, a roulette table was found, counters were found, cloths and cards were found. These might be ground for a reasonable suspicion of its being a gaming-house ; but it was no proof. The articles in question might have been placed there for a merely temporary purpose, and he submitted that there was not a tittle of evidence to show that the house had, in any one instance, been used as a gaming house. The police had found no sign or symbol of gaming having taken place in the house. It was not enough to show that Mr. Courty had the care and management of the house. According to the terms of the Act of Parliament they must produce the owner and keeper of the house as a gaming-house. But there was no evidence to show that Mr. Courty had any share in the care and management of that house k as gaming house ; and he might make the same remar wit h r . egard to house,Dlr a Everett. n n ; mightmightbe a bep r there ter for the th e. on, or ever had been purpose of cleaning the shoes or boots of any gentleman who came in with dirty ones ; and as to the other three there was not the s hadow of a case against them. Ac cordingleast, be proved to be going on. But there was no evi dence to the 49th clause of the Act, playing must, at going one in that house, or that it ever had in anywise been used for the purposes of a gaming -house. He pre- M oce r. nt E p v o e r sumed that the magistrate would require the same evi dence as a jury would require in a similar case, and if r t e er tt so there was no case at all. to show that play was going Mr. HARDWICK said Courty was charged with having the care and management of the house as a gaming house, and the question was whether there was sufficient evidence to establish that charge. All the preliminary steps had been properly taken ; the report of the Police Commissioners had been produced ; the oaths of two housekeepers, showing the grounds for their belief that the house was a common gambling-house had been laid before the Commissioners, who had then issued their warrant for entering the house. The Magistrate then took a review of the facts of the case as proved in evi dence, and said he thought that, under all the circum stances, the conclusion was a fair one, that Courty, who had admitted that he had the care and management of the house knew that it was used as a gambling-house. He was found with gambling implements in the room, and dice-boxes in his pocket, and these facts brought him (Mr. Hardwick) to the reasonable conviction that he must have been perfectly cognisant that the room was used for gambling. He therefore felt it his duty to impose a fine, the amount of which he would mention by and by. With regard to Everett, he thought the charge was also proved as against him ; respecting the °the/ three they were only charged with the minor offence being present for an unlawful purpose. Mr. Wilkins reminded the Magistrate that the imple EXAMPLES. Aitnual Bonus Cask Prem. Entry. Policy.'Age. sum. No. Prem. Added. Bonus.

We find hundreds and thousands, and tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands, faring sump tuously every day, and wearing fine linen. The be holder cannot but be amazed at the glittering vast throng, as they pass before him in the pursuit of their pleasures or the toils of their business. And would we ascertain who these goodly beings are ? and what their parentage, education, and pre tensions ? The inquiry may be amusing, and must be instructive. First, then, is the privileged class, composed of the Royal Family, with the bishops and others, counting 4,727 souls. What an immensity of wealth have they at their command ! keeping up one long, one strong and eternal pull, at the national stock. Descending one step, we behold the clergy in general and the Senate, a brilliant and strong array, counting 92,857 souls ; and the splendour and luxury in which they live tell with trumpet eloquence of the extent of the national wealth. Take another step lower, a class somewhat diffe rent is seen, namely, baronets and landed gentry, counting 356,164. Here again, in the pomp and circumstance of their lives, is exhibited an other gorgeous specimen of the extent of the national wealth. Another step lower we trace another nu merous family, designated the army and navy, num bering 1,444,464. The equipments and continued sustenance would indeed drain an island so small as England, were it not that her mines of wealth ramify so deeply and widely. Take another step down the slope of the view, and we find a broad phalanx, of less pretension, but of steadier stamina, ycleped bank ers, merchants, and professions. This host may be num bered 1,857,163. These ranks are of a more staid, so ber, character, but they are princes in their way, and the nature of their daily transactions, and their mode of life, indicate distinctly the inexhaustible mine from which they draw their immense diurnal supply. Then, lastly, we discover a vast array of other claimants on the national store, numbering 2,888,888. These may be termed the retailers of the nation's wealth. Their steady, substantial mode and tenor of life proclaim aloud the depth and breadth of that well of riches which can supply a demand so enormous, varied, and incessant. Then we see a host numbering nearly 7,000,000, possessing the power of indulging profusely in the enjoyment of luxuries culled from every climate of the world, as well as those originated by the native producer. A stranger coming from a far country might well ask from what hidden mine they drew their glittering luxuries, and substantial things, in the midst of which they se wantonly and lavishly revel ? There can be but one simple answer to the querist—the secret is to be found in the in domitable energies of her merchants and manufac turers, backed with the never-tiring industry of her artisans, sustained by the mighty power of her beau. tiful machinery.—Advertiser. ST. STEPHEN'S, WALBROOK. On Tuesday the annual visitation for the purpose of swear ing in the persons who had been elected on the Thursday in Easter week to the office of churchwardens for the different parishes in the city of London, and also to receive present ments connected with the church, was held at St. Sepul chre's Church, before Dr. Robert Phillimore, the Surrogate, in the absence of Archdeacon Hale. Upon the parish of St. Stephen's Walbrook, being called, Messrs. F. Rock and Flight, who were elected at the annual vestry by the inhabitants of the parish to the office of churchwardens' presented themselves, as well as Mr. Alder man Gibbs and Mr. Whitaker, both of whom, it will be re: collected, th e assistance of the two report three ofo others, svestry elected themselves le ft tl i e c h ur ch and retired to the house of the Alderman, where, with also to the office of churchwardens. Mr. Alderman Gibbs, who was attended by Mr. Bodkin, barrister, on presenting himself to Dr. Phillimore, handed in a declaration relative to the very dilapidated state of the church of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, which arose from the want of proper funds to repair and beautify it. Dr. PHILLIMORE then requested that the two gentlemen who had been elected to the office of churchwardens for the ensuing year be presented, for the purpose of being sworn in, when Mr. Alderman Gibbs, for the twenty-first time, presented himself, and a Mr. Whitaker, as his colleague, as having been duly elected by the vestry to the office of church wardens. Dr. PHILLIMORE said there was a difficulty in swearing them in, for a caveat had been entered by Mr. 'Rock and Mr. Flight against any other individuals but themselves being sworn in. Messrs. Rock and Flight here presented themselves for the purpose of being sworn in, when Dr. PHILLIMORE inquired who presented them to the Sur rogate, and proved that they had been duly elected? Mr. ROCK said he imagined that it was the duty of the late churchwarden, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, to present him and his colleague, for it was well known to the Alderman that he and Mr. Flight had been duly chosen and elected in a public vestry to the office of churchwarden, and they, in support of that election, now presented themselves for the purpose of being legally inducted into that office. Mr. BODKIN observed, that he had the honour of attend ing on behalf of Mr. Alderman Gibbs, who, lie contended, was the only legal churchwarden ; that by the constitution of the parish it was governed by a select vestry, and only the mem bers of that vestry had the power of electing the church wardens, and in the performance of that right they had re elected Mr. Alderman Gibbs, and with him they had placed Mr. Whitaker. Dr. PHILLIMORE said he was aware that, unhappily, a dif ference had sprung up in the parish, but with that he had nothing to do, his duty being merely to swear in the persons who were elected to the office. Mr. BODKIN contended that no doubt could exist that the legally elected persons to the office of churchwarden were Mr. Alderman Gibbs and Mr. Whitaker. There were many precedents to show that in all disputed elections the Surrogate swore those in who were elected by the legal vestry, and there could be no doubt that the only legal right of election was vested in the select vestry of St. Stephen's ; still, as he was anxious to relieve the Surrogate of any difficulty, he would suggest that the four persons who had presented themselves should be sworn in, for it was evident that the question as to who possessed the right of election, the select vestry or the inhabitants generally in public vestry assembled, must be decided by the Court of Queen's Bench. Dr. PHILLIMORE said, that the only difficulty which he had was, that only one set of gentlemen had been duly presented to his notice. At this juncture the Rev. Dr. Croly entered the vestry, when he said that he presided as the chairman of the vestry in which Messrs. Rock and Flight were elected as church wardens, and he should, therefore, present them. Messrs. Rock, Flight, Alderman Gibbs, and Whitaker, were then sworn in, the Learned Surrogate thus leaving the point in dispute to be settled elsewhere. Measures have already been taken to bring the matter before the Court of Queen's Bench, for as the parish is unable to obtain any proper account of Mr. Alderman Gibbs, Messrs. Rock and Flight intend to proceed upon their duties at once, especially as Mr. Alderman Gibbs has ade a c hurch-rate of Is. 6d. in the pound, but which will never be collected.
