IN RESPECT TO LANDED INVESTMENTS , - - - --- MR GEORGE ROBINS respectfully intimates to the Monied World, and more especially all those who 'would invest permanently and securely, that in consequence of the Manly, straightforward, and unequivocal declaration of Sir Robert Peel, to the effect " THAT HE NEITHER HAS, NOR DOES HE CONTEM PLATE, ANY CHANGE WHATEVER IN THE CORN LAWS." that during the ensuing months he will submit to public corn petition, Estates of great promise, in several of the most favoured connties throughout England, and exceeding in value ONE MILLION POUNDS STERLING, It mr y be desirable to observe that, since all doubt and uncer tainty has disappeared, and Mr. R.'s public commentary of last Year bas been fully confirmed, viz. `• THAT THE CORN BILL IS FIXED ON AN IMMOVABLE ROCK OF SAFETY," 11 * may with the greatest confidence endeavour to enlist the early attention of the great capitalists to a more secure and less doubtful employment in terra firma. The adjustment of the great point at issue has arrived at a great and triumphant result. It Is at length discovered that in the exceedingly intricate task, which required the mind, the perspicacity, and depth of intellect, possessed by our first Minister, in organising his salutary alters ikru.in the corn-laws, he has dealt out a measure of strict and im - Pastial justice, no less to the manufacturing than the agricultural interest. There is nothing invidious—he has laboured, and sue.. cessfully, to put at rest a very difficult point fairly and honestly, bis declaration is too unequivocal to be disregarded, and it should no longer be a matter of doubt to Trustees who have money to invest, and most especially all such as hold Three per Cents., (in fear and trembling, at the unhealthy price of 98), that terra Erma, so unnaturally depressed of late years, will combine two Points that the most sceptical cannot gainsay—a larger present in. come, and a prospective view (whenever the cause which must re_ duce the public funds to such a fearful extent) of an increase la the exact same proportion in the value of land. These remarks have for many years operated powerfully on the Lind of Mr. Robins, and the cheering declaration of Sir Robert Peel, has triumphantly established the bases upon which he confidently submits, to an impartial public, the opinion he has so long maintained. Covent-garden, February, 1844. IN LINCOLNSHIRE, NEAR TO BOSTON.—IMPORTANT FREEHOLD FARMS, ADMIRABLY SUITED TO TRUS TEES, WHO WOULD INVEST IN PERFECT SAFETY, PRODUCING %GOO!. A-YEAR, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE TITHES, AND A FIRST-RATE TENANTRY. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce that lie is directed by the Devisee, in trust of THE RIGHT DON. LORD MONSON, DECEASED, to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, in the month of A MOST IMPORTANT LANDED INVESTMENT, Freehold of Inheritance, and uniting an infinity of substantial ad vantages, FRITH'S BANK, and EARL'S CROFT ESTATES. Are situate within two short miles of THE BOROUGH TOWN OF BOSTON; one of the best markets extant, surrounded by capital roads, and approximating upon water carriage to all parts of England. As it is intended to give a more comprehensive review of this eli gible Property on Mr. Robins's return from his survey, the present imperfect notice has only for its object to direct the immediate at. tention of the moneyed world to an investment which should not be I c"gt sight of, as it would require some ingenuity to discover where withal a fault. The Land in this vicinity has, from days of yore, t e cll proverbial for its ruperior quality ; it grows the best Wheat , leY, and Oats, and is congenial for Turnips and Green Crops. 'be Domain extends to TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES, IS ENTIRELY IN A RING FENCE, BESIDES THE TITHES OF THE ESTATES. The whole is occupied by a tenantry of long standing ; and it I nar be well to remind those who still remain sceptical in re *Pict to the continuance of the corn.laws, that they will now .rye on a bed of roses. Sir Robert Peel has , by his manly , . JOrlicious, and unequivocal declaration in favour of the corn-laws. NOlsted the apprehensions of all those who desire to see the Airiculturing and the manufacturing interests go quietly in bar. lol'u together, without any undue partiality. The sun will now s _again illumine the agricultural horizon (too long clonded 0 7 uncertainty), and terra firma become the favourite, as opposed to Three per Cents. at 98. It should have been observed there are SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES OF THE BEST GRAZING AND MEADOW LAND IN ENGLAND, `whereon the bullocks are speedily rendered fat for a journey to gaithfield.

I began to think nothing would cure me ; I was fast wasting away With a violent pain in my head ; at last my friend got me a box from your shop, and advised me to try them, so I tried them, being so strongly recommended, according to the direction, and before I bad taken one box, I found so much relief that I tried another, and am new happy to say I am as well as ever I was in my life, and .hall always have a few doses by me, for they are wonderful. (Signed) " THOMAS CASH. Witness—John Thorpe."

For the last V I. Years I have been labouring under a complication of disorders h it CaY head and stomach. I think I may venture to say I have not an hour's cessation of pain during the time. My sense of -nailing was entirely gone, and the most agreeable perfume or the Iciest intolerant stench were equally indifferent to me. I have had t he advice of several surgeons and medical men, both in this bean and others, but without the least bene fi t , and I dispaired of ever again regaining my health , in suet Tap life was becoming burdensome to me, until I a fo rtunately heard of the many cures which your valuable Pills bad ep p -ect ed. I purchased a box of Mr. Woodward, druggist, and b efore I had taken the whole I was completely cured, and have °ever experienced the slightest symptoms of its return.

CHARLES LUSHINGTON, Esq., in the Chair. It is with feelings of no ordinary gratification that the Di rectors render to the Members of the NATIONAL PROVI DENT INSTITUTION, this, their Eighth Annual Report, of its proceedings. Each periodical review of the progress of the Institution has afforded abundant evidence of its growing prosperity, whilst the statement which the Directors are enabled to publish on the present occasion, exhibits a result far exceeding their most san guine expectations. Before proceeding to a summary of the business of the year just terminated, the Directors would advert to the notice con tained in their last Report, that in accordance with the 28th Rule, the accounts of the Institution were then under the inves tigation of an eminent Actuary, for the purpose of making a careful valuation of its existing liabilities and assets, in order to declare a dividend out of the surplus which might from such valuation appear to exist. That investigation was completed in January last (by Charles Ansell, E,q., F. R. S., the Actu ary referred to), and the Directors have now to congratulate the Members of the Institution on the great success which has attended its operations, by effecting a large reduction in the " premiums payable, or by securing correspondingly large additions to the sums assured on Life Policies • notwithstand ing ONE FIFTH of the actual profits declared to be divisible among the Members has been reserved, and a reduction equal to 45 per cent. from the premiums of those Members who have been assured the full term of Seven Years, and at certain ages, has been secured to them. The number of Policies issued during the past year has been 703, nearly all of which are of that Class securing a sum of money payable at death. The number of proposals declined during the same period is 81. The annual income of the Institution, which was last year reported as being 39,3601. 9s. 7d., would have been increased to the relatively larger sum of 47,934/. 4s. 3d. ; but of this amount, 3,714/. 7s. 3d. has been allowed or deducted from the annual premium of those Members who have elected to have their premiums reduced in lieu of the Bonus added to their policies. The Accounts have been duly audited to the 20th November ast, at which date the Capital Stock of the Institution was 167,079/. lls. 2d., being an increase of 27,273/. 9s. 7d. on the sum reported last year, and which amount is invested with the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, and in Real Securities, conformably to the Acts of Parliament and the Rules of the Institution. The claims during the past year on the lives of deceased Members amount to 7,600/., whieh sum has been paid, together with the Bonuses accrued thereon. The Directors have also to inform the Members, that in ac cordance with the notice given in the last Report, the business of the Institution was removed to their Freehold premisesin the spring of this year; of the eligibility of the situation and the superior facilities the premises afford fur carrying on its busi ness they have already had satisfactory proof. That portion of the building not occupied by the Institution is let to highly re spectable tenants, at a rental which leaves the rent-charge to the Institution at an extremely moderate sum. From the preceding statements it will be observed that the amount of business has been very much increased during the past year ; an increase that may chiefly be attributed to the advantages secured to this Institution, by being enrolled under the Acts of Parliament relatingto FRIENDLY SOCIETIES, as also to the growing disposition on the part of the public to effect Assurances in an Office where the surplus profit is di vided, not among Shareholders, but among the ASSURERS THEMSELVES. To the PRINCIPLE of MUTUAL ASSURANCE, as carried out by this Institution, the Directors e arnestl y invite the attention of the Members and the public at large, as also to investigate for themselves the relative claims for preference of the various Life Offices, and they rest confident that none will be found to combine greater advantages, or that can justly ay claim to a larger share of public confidence. The following statement shows the progress of the Insti tution from the commencement : ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. POPULAR LECTURES daily, abounding in BEAUTIFUL EXPERIMENTS. With the vieW to amuse the Visitors, as well at to afford instruction in CHEMISTRY, EXPERIMENTAL PHILO SOPHY, and other branches of Science, Dr. Ryan, Professor Bach hornier, Mr. Goddard, and other Lecturers vary their subjects as much as possible, and have arranged so that each Lecture shall seldom oc cupy more than Half an Hour—a List of which for the week is sus pended hi the Hall of Manufactures.

The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questiotis which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this Company. THIS IS TUB ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that where premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid ; and they undertake to do so without reference to the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. The inquiry into the circumstances attending the deaths of James Hanney and Proctor William Scott, the engiae.driver and poker of a luggage train on this line of railway, who were killed near the Springfield ballast.hole on the morning of the 28th ult., was resumed yesterday forenoon, before Mr. C. C. Lewis, Coroner for Essex, at the Three Cups Inn, Springfield.road, Chelmsford. Major.Genetal Pasley, the Government Inspector of Railways, was examined as to the state of the line at the spot wherVhe ac. cident occurred, and a watchman on the line also deposed that the man usually in atti.ndance on the poit.ta at the ballastdiole was addicted to drinking, and seldom at work more than threi days a week. Strangers were put on to fulfil his duty occasionally. Our instructions do not tell us to look at the "poi n t s " and efoss-rails after every train has passed. We are, however, expecfed to do so, and it was owing to the irregularity of the arrival of' the lug. gage train, which usually passes Chelmsford before the 9101, that I did not do so on this occasion. The luggage train is never re gular, and vatic.: as much as an hour sometimes. Mr. George Henry Phipps, resident engineer of the:Bastern Counties Railway Company, said that he accompanied 111E4Iall to the spot where the accident occurred, about twelve o'clock on Sun. day the 28th ultimo. Witness made a minute inspection of the engine, and, from that inspection, was convinced the accident had arisen through one of the driving wheels coming in contact with some hard substance, placed in the same position' the "cross rail" was described to have been in. There was a deep indentation on the flange of one of the wheels, but the axles and other wheels were uninjured. Witness had carefully examined the piece of rail produced, and could not find any mark on it to corres pond with that on the wheel of the engine. or indeed any appear. ance that would lead him to the conclusion that it WWI the substance which had come in contact with the engine and caused the acci dent. Mr. Phipps gave his evidence 'at great length, and with a clearness which appeared to give the greatest satisfaction to the Coroner and all present. Several other witnesses were examined at considerable length, whose testimony was of a very conflicting nature, and at half-past nine o'clock the Corcner adjourned the Inquiry to a future day, when it is expected that some evidence of an extraordi. nary character will be adduced. THE RIGHTS OF WATERMEN.—Yesterday con siderable excitement prevailed In that part of Chelsea contiguous to Battersea-bridge, in consequence of Mr. Hatchett, a magistrate for the county of Middlesex, who resides at Beaufort-terrace, having determined to make use of the power given him by the Court of Conservancy of the River Thames, in the removal cf what has long been alleged to be a great nuisance, and also an en croachment upon the right of free watermen. For many years a plying-place for watermen has existed on the north-western side of the bridge, and until the last twelvemonth there was an un interrupted approach to it both from the street and by the river. About a twelvemonth since, however, Mr. Page, a coal merchant, established a coal wharf there, blocked up the approach to the river with his waggons, and prevented water men landing their fares by keeping barges constantly moored alongside. This conduct, on the part of Mr. Page, was warmly commented upon, not only by the watermen, but also by many of the influential gentlemen of the neigh. bourhood, and it was attempted by the latter to put au end to Ste nuisance in an amicable manner. This could not be effected, and the Court of Conservancy was appealed to by Mr. Hatchett and other gentlemen. The Court declared that the mooring of the barges was an obstruction, and that the blockading of the landing place was an e: croachment upon the rights of the watermen. Yes terday Mr. Nelson, the water-bailiff, served a notice upon Mr. Page to remove the obstruction, and as that was not attended to, steps were taken to forcibly remove the nuisance; the mooring chains and ropes were cut, the piles to which they were made fast were sawn off, and the barges set adrift. The waggons were also removed. The necessary apparatus for driving a row of piles into the bed s 4 the river, which would prevent the future mooring of barges on this spot was fixed, watermen commenced plying for fares and obtaintd many, and before sunset the Beaufort.stairs once more shone in all their pristine glory. It is understood that the matter is likely to to become one of legal inquiry. A body of police were in attend ance to preserve order. CURIOUS MARRIAGE.—Last week, a clock-maker, residing in this city, upon whose countenance might be traced the march of time, and n female, who was about his equal in years, presented themselves in the church of St. Cuthbert, for the purpose of being united in the holy bonds of matrimony, under the following singular circumstances : It seems, from the statement of our correspondent, that they had " king sync" been married in " bonnie Scotland," accord ing •to the rites observed by the church of that country, and having lately unfortunately discovered that the minister was suspended at the time the " gordion knot" was tied, they de termined, in order to allay their qualms of conscience, to ap pear a second time before the altar of hymen, and accord ingly, on the above occasion, they effectually rivetted those bonds which they supposed had hung too loosely upon them. —York Courant. DEFEAT OF THE ANTI-LEAGUERS.--On Saturday the farmers of Richmondshire met at Richmond, and were to have carried out the Anti. League policy, but the concoctors of the scheme reckoned without their - host. The Earl of Zetland, whose intention to be present was generally known, attended, as did also. several persons of Importance connected with the landed interests. A resolution was moved by the callers of the meeting, word fJr word similar to the Derby resolution, but the Noble Earl made an excellent free trade speech, and showed that the sliding.scale did do good to the tenant.farmer. As his whole property is landed, the Yorkshire farmers began to consider that all the fears of the mono polists were not to be taken as gospel, and the meeting was ad journed without the putting of the first resolution. Of course the whole string fell through, and the conveners of the meeting retired to meditate on the fate that awaits those whose estates are encum bered with wife's pin.money and daughter's settlements. POST-OFFICE REGULATIONS.—It has for some time been the practice (in pursuance of directions from the Post.office authorities to that effect) for the Customs' officers,:ln the examina tion of the baggage of passengers arriving from all parts of the world, on finding any letters addressed to parties residing in the United Kingdom, to take possession of them and send them by a special messenger to the Post.office, in order that they may be for warded to them by post. An instance recently occurred at one of the quays adjoining the Custom-house, of a parcel of printed circulars being found in a package, each circular being directed to a party re.. sident in the country, and the officer detained the same fee the Board's directions as to whether the package was to be delivered to the party, or sent to the Post.office in the same manner as was required in the case of written letters; and the Board of Customs having directed a communication to be made to the Post.officc au. thorities on the subject (the package being forwarded for their in spection), an answer has been received from Colonel Maberly, to the effect, that having taker; theepinton•ef - the law.officer of the defiltinent with 'respect to the package alluded fn, he" (Colonel Maberly) had the honour - to acquaiht the Bard of :Cuitems, that the solicitor considered that such'p4ekee, containing letters, curia 'to pass - through the Post.offioe, and it had therefore been tor. warded according to the' several addresses, charged with postage. This decision is of much importance, and it will therefore be evident that in future all letters, whether written, or, as in this case, printed, being circulars from some foreign house to various merchants here, will be detained.by the Customs' officers, and for warded to the Post-office, to be charged with postage, and dc:.. livered into the hands of the persons for whom they are inter,d‘d, by the employes of that department. EXPLOSION AT AIALDON rOWDEB.-MlLLS.—Yei terday morning, at the early hour of one o'clock, the inhabitant. of Maldon, a village between Cheam and Kingston, Surrey, were alarmed by a loud noise similar to that produced by the discharge of a park of artillery. It was soon ascertained that an explosion had occurred at the powder-mills, which are the property of Mr. Frederick Taylor. of Ewell. There was no person at work in them at the time, and therefore the result was not of a fatal character. From an inspection subsequently made it was fuund that one of the " corning" mills, in which there was a quantity of "green" or unprepared powder, had been utterly destroyed. The process of grinding was in actual operation at the time, and it is supposed that, prior to the man who had the care of this parti cular mill leaving, he had not sufficiently damped the powder, the consequence of which was that some grit getting Intermixed with the dry powder, caused the latter to ignite by friction with the machinery. It is a singular circumstance that an explosion oc curred at these mills about six months since, at the same early hour in the morning, and under similar circumstances. THE BOKSIARA CAPTIVES.—We have great plea sure in announcing that letters from Trebizond of the 13th of December announce the arrival there on the 1 Ith of some Bokhara merchants, who report that Colonel Stoddart is still alive, and holding the appointment, under the Emir of that place, of copa -1 mandant of a fortress, having been compelled to embrace Islamism. under the name of Abdee Semet Khan. The same passerigers likewise state that Colonel Stoddart has under him a young man, who acts as his secretary, who, according to their description, is supposed to be Captain Conolly. Later dates from Trebizond, to the 3 let of Deeember, mention that these reports had beenicon. firmed by other persor.s arriving there from Bokhara on their pit. grimage to Mecca, and who had left Bokhara between five and ix months previous, Dr. Wolff had reached Erzeroum on .10 0 4 rom Trebizond, a distance of 150 miles. • To the pension of 1901. per annum, of which den_ John Mackenzie is already in receipt, an addition has been made of :HU Major.Ginerals Helier, Touzel, James Hay, Wirtiaill NV( od, George Burrell, and Sir Robert James Harvey, are cp . * to receive 200/. per annum ; and Colonels Alexander Kennedy, Clark Kennedy, and the Hon.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A DAUGHTER OF THE TARE, ox Kpixonx.—lt is with deep concern we have to state-flat the Right Hon. the Earl of Kintore has met with another painful bereavement in the death of one of his daughters, a most interesting child, about ten years of age, who, while amusing herself near the top of the staircase, at Keith Hall, fell over the balustrade and alighted on the basement floor, a very great height. She was taken up in a state of insent sibility and died in little more than au hour.—ilbaNkve Paper. BY TIIE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one-half of the first seven years' premium is required, the other half being payable at at the convenience of the assured ; thus allowing a Policy to be continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured, seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him front effecting a new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium applicable to an age seven years younger. The Ilalf-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at Cl. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 50C1. to be let, the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one half of the 151., and interest for the retained half; and, if deatk should occur in the first year, the sum of 500/. would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 01. ; for the second, of 151. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 50C1. then payable by the Company.

By the author of " Shakspeare and his Friends," &c. In this singularly in teresting work, so much talked of in the best circles, the author has brought before us a heroine famous above all her contemporaries, not less for her extreme beauty than for her extraordinary attainments in an age wnen genius of the highest order prevailed in both sexes to an extent never ex celled. In short, this gifted being is no other than the lady immortalised by Ben Jonson in his matchless epitaph : " Underneath this marble hearse, Lies the subject of all verse— Sydney's sister, Pembroke's mother. Death, ere thou shalt find another, Fair and good and wise as she, Time shall throw his dart at thee." It is only necessary to add that the whole interest of the story of "The Secret Passion " lies in a clandestine attach. mont the Countess of Pembroke is represented to have formed with, in every sense, the most noble of the many distinguishd characters by which she was surrounded, and from which after mutual struggles, the result only occur to such natures, both at last are disentangled by means which still more ikeply excite the reader's sympathies. CHILD BORN IN THE STREET.—It having been dis covered by a family resident in Pembroke-street, Devonport, that a servant in their employ, named Ellen Johnson, was in a state of pregnancy, the young woman was thereupon im mediately dismissed from service. Having no home, and being unable to procure a lodging, she slept in the streets on Monday night, and attempted also to find shelter in a door , waythe night following, but the pains of labour suddenly coming on, the poor creature was carried to the workhouse by the police, whom she had brought acquainted with her condition before, however, the gate of the workhouse could be opened, she gave birth to a child. Mr. Winchester, the parish surgeon, was instantly sent for, and every comfort %;!:iell the house could afford was given to her, and we hear that bath the unhappy mother and her offspring are now dully , ' well— West Briton. EVERT LITTLE HELPS.—A new trade was com menced last week between Sunderland and London, by Mr. Erabant, butcher, who sent to the metropolis by steamer, front Mr. French's wharf, a consignment of sheep's carcases, packed two and two in sacks.—Durham Chronicle. 80,-LSTONE.—There was interred in the church yard fSf Somersal Herbert, in this county, on Friday last, an age(Vcouple (Richard and Ellen Phillips), the husband being 93—the wife 75. They were interred in one grave. The great ages of the five last in the register are remarkable, viz. :-87, 84, 82, 93, and 75 years. We very much doubt whether any register in the county, or even in the kingdom, contains anything like it.—Derity Reporter. ANTEDILUVIAN REMAINS.—A few days since se veral elephants' tusks were discovered in the gravel near Cainscross, ono mu-swing seven and a half feet in length, together with a few bones and teeth. The depth at which these remains were found is nearly twenty feet from the sur 4w, and although they must have been buried many thou sand .
