LONDON, FRIDAY v .1 ( 3 - - „ y. 4 t, 9 SEPTEMBER 13 , 1850. [PRICE SD. DISPUTED Linn POLICIES. " A trial of considerable Intei:est to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 539/. In the Alhon Company as security for an advance, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of in temperate habits was concealed from the office. Ihe chief evidence turno noon the question so to the degres of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the reuit was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under the present system, and sho,s that the only mode by which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of prole ,zing them selves in every case by due inquiries before the grmtini f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the present case two offices are found to he diametrically opposed in their opinions as t€ what can properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected to be able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar casas have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously - injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GLASGOW, AIRDR[E, AND MONKLANDS JUNCTION. The half•yearly meeting of this company was held in Glasgow on Tuesday, Mr. Peter Blackburn in the chair. The report by the directors state that since the last half-yearly meeting a settlement of the whole claims of the Glasgow College against the company had bee❑ effected, at considerable pecuniary sacrifice to the company. Since the last meeting the directors hare disposed of the balance of rails and chairs on hand, and have been doing everything to bring tha affairs of the company to a close. Tile balance at the credit of the company amounted to 1401. 3. 33. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, remarked that the only object of the directors in the management of this company was to save fur ther expenditure, too much having already taken place. The directors were convinced that no part of the line could be made which would prove of ad vantage to the shareholders, but if any of the share holders were willing to carry on the line they could do so at their own expense. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. DRYSDALE seconded the motion. T HE LONDON INDISPUTABLE LIFE POLICY COMPANY No. 72, LOMBARD-STREET, LONDON. TRUSTEES. I.

Another conversation ensued whether it would be advisable to wind up the concern, or carry it on, the Chairman, as representative of 11,000 shares, wish ing to retire from it, and certain shareholders wishing to carry on the line. The meeting was, however, ul timately brought to a close on the understanding that in any negotiations that may hereafter take place, the shareholders wishing to retire would not throw any obstruction in the way of those who might wish to acquire and carry on the line. Messrs. Wilson, W. G. Mitchell, Finlay, and Cullen, entered their protest against the proceedings of the directors, after which the meeting separated. GREAT- WESTERN.-It appears that 2,463 pas sengers were conveyed in the excursion train last Sunday on this line from London to Bath and Bristol and back. This train was so successful that the com pany intend to start an excursion train next Sunday morning from Paddington to Bath and Bristol for first and second class passengers, the former to pay 104. and the latter 6s. each. The train is to leave Bristol for London the same evening at about seven o'clock. Secretary, Chas. Hoglston, Esq. The POLICIES of this Company, being INDISPUTABLE, form Family Provisions and Negotiable Securities, for their validity is not dependent, as in the case of ordinary Policies, upon the Import of previous reports and other documents. Owing to this important improvement in the practice of Life As eurance, the progress of this Company has been rapid from the com mencement of its business, and is steadily advancing.

The resolutions and orders made at the last meeting of the company respecting the Canal Company's annuity have been fully carried out by the directors without exercising the borrowing powers intrusted to them. The new twelfth shares (10,833 in number) issued in pursuance of such orders were all promptly taken up by the proprietary, and became thereupon entitled to their proportion of dividend from the Ist of May last. Out of the disposable balance in hand on the 31st of July last the directors recommend that 15,6561. be divided amongst the proprietors, being at the rate of six per cent. per annum on the entire capital, leaving a surplus of 616/. The capital account to the Ist of August showed that 465,440/. had been expended, and that the capital entitled to dividend amounted to 544,3001., including 101,6651. discount or bonus on the three-quarter and quarter shares. The mort gage, bearing interest at 4, 41, and 4f per cent., amounts to 113,0001.

GLOUCESTER, TnURSDAY. —Last night's concert proved a b umper, and on the whole went off with spirit. Miss Lucombe sang the songs allotted to her in the programme, having recovered from her indis position, and Miss Dolby sang one son g , b u t was obliged to retire immediately afterwards. The con cert commenced with Mozart's Grand Symphony (E flat), which was played in a splendid manner by the band. Miss Lucombe made her debitt in "Que la voce," from Purdani. It was well sung., but the lady's voice wants mellowness. Formes's " Wanderer," of course, created a powerful i m p ress i on, but wenaust co n f ess ' cur preference for Staudigl. Madame Castellan' s ap pearance in the orchestra at once showed her to be a favourite with a Gloucestershire audience, and she well rewarded the confidence placed in her by the execution of the delicious " Dove sono," which was most sweetly and eloquently rendered by the fair and accomplished artiste, while the accom paniment was s ubdued in the best taste by the band. - The "La rola Dora belle" exchanged places in the scheme with the quartette from Acis and Galatea, and " Star-led chiefs," which was but indifferently performed by Miss Lucombe, Mr. Lockey, and Herr Formes. Sims Reeves in the " Corn' e wave," from Rosarnunda di Ravenna, proved that his falsetto had improved. Oc casionally, however, his voice was painfully over strained. Then followed the "Bid me Discourse," from Venus and Adonis, as composed by Sir H. R. Bishop. The overture to Oberon opened the second act, and was perfectly performed. A song from Mac.. farren's new - op era o f Charles 11., " She shin es before me like a s t ar ," aga i n d eveloped the beauty of Miss Williams' s r i c h contra l to. Madame Sontag and Mr. Sims R eeves sung t h e duet, " Da quel di, " from Linda di Chamon n i, p er f ect l y; and the former was as brilliant a s ever i n t h e " Quand je quittai, " from Roberto le Diable. Mr. Henry Phillips, the only true illustrator of Dibdin left us, on coming forward to sing his favourite "'Twas post meridian," was warmly received and welcomed as an old friend. 'What shall be said of Madame Sontag's " Home, sweet Home," but that she has restored to us one of our national ballads, and proved how much can be made of simple means by talent and natural gifts. There is evidently no abatement of interest in the festival, and the cathedral was well filled in every part. The performances finished about half-past four. Part I. of this morning's musical performance con sisted of the first and second part of Haydn's beautifully descriptive oratorio of The Creation. the principal solo .parts being allotted to Madame Sontag, Madame Castellan, Miss Lucombe, Mr. Sims Reevess Mr. Phillip., Mr. Lockey, and Mr. Lawler. The singular dramatic introduction, repre senting chaos, went off with its usual effect, and was a perfect performance. Mr. Lawler was judicious in his interpretation of the recitative commencing "And God made the firmament." Of the choruses we may say generally, that, with few exceptions, they went off very well. Henry Phillips appeared to have gained new life in the first air allotted to him, "Rolling in foaming billows." The delicious gem of this beautiful oratorio, " With verdure clad," was given by Madame Sontag. Madame Castellan reaped for herself new laurels in the air, "On mighty pens." The fine symphonies and accompaniments allotted to the band in this oratorio were delicately rendered. The terzetto, "Most beautiful appear," was given by Miss Lucombe, Mr. Sims Reeves, and Mr. Lawler. Phillip was happy in his delivery of his descriptive recitative, " Straight opening her fer tile Womb ;" every word was distinctly uttered. "In native worth," was given to Sims Reeves, and here the principal tenor far outshone anything which he had attempted at this festival. After the selection from the Creation was given one from Beethoven's Service in C. As usual, the Latin was outraged most unmercifully, every syllable being dashed with an Italian accent. The second part of the morning's performance consisted of Mendelssohn's " Lauda Zion," and a selection from Jepiha. Little can be said in favour of the " Lauda Zion," which embodies most of the faults of the lamented composer, and but few of his excellencies. After this sacred cantata, the double chorus, " Ile rebuked the Red Sea," from Handers Israel in E g ypt, was we ll given by the choral body, and was followed by Handel's " Holy, holy," divinely sung by Madame Sontag, but her "Let the bright Seraphim" proved in some measure a disappointment. TO-morrow is the last day of the festival. The col lection to-day is nut yet cast up. CHURCH EXTEN:=ION.

THE RIGHTS OF THE NEGRO IN THE UNITED STATES.—The Norfolk Beacon thus notices a practice which has recently grown up in that city :—" About 25 negroes were arrested yesterday and taken before his Honour the Mayor for violating the States law against slaves making their own bargains, and receiving the money for their ser vices. They were discharged upon producing their badges. It will be recollected that there is a corporation law which allows negroes to work and receive their money by paying a tax of one dollar and taking a badge. No more badges will be granted hereafter, as the corporation law conflicts with the State law on the sulject. We are glad to see this move ment, for really the negr;:es have become so independent un der the present system that it is almost impossible to get one to do a day's work, and a change is loudly called for." A NEW COMET.—M. A r ic`or Mauvais, Member of the institute and of the Board of Longitude, has just disco vered, at the Observatory of Paris, a new comet in the con stellation of Charioteer, a little to the east of the star Delta in that constellation. The following was its apparent posi tion :—On Sept. 9, 1850, lit 13 hours 37 min, 2 sec., average time of Paris, reckoned from noon—right ascension, 90 deg. 17 min.

PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY.-011 Tuesday afternoon the First Lord, Sir F. Baring, accompanied by Admiral Berkeley, Mr. Parker, Captain Eden, and the Surveyor of the Navy, Sir B. Walker, after inspecting ships in Hatnoaze landed at the steps o❑ the dam opposite the entrance lock at the Keyham 1Vo;k:. Tneir Lordships minutely examined the lock and the large iron caisson recently placed there ; they then entered the engine -house and descended into the lock. Ascending on the other side they proceeded round the river-wall as far as the north basin caisson, and along the north wall of the south basin- to the north dock, which, as well as the middle dock, was closely inspected. Their Lordships returned by Moon Cove Wall to the dam, leaving the works by the en trance at the new passage canal, and proceeded to Moorshead's Royal Hotel. The present condition of the Keyham Works is as follows :—The south basin is nearly finished, there being only six courses of masonry to add to the east wall and entrances to the docks. The north dock requires the coping only to complete it. The middle dock is about half finished. The south dock has been commenced, but will not be proceeded with until next year. The factories have not been commenced this year, but very likely they will next April. With the exception of the parts opposite the north basin lock entrances, nearly the whole of the cofferdam has been removed. The caisson to the north basin entrance from the river was completed about a fortnight since, and will be tested shortly. Its length at the top is about 80 feet, and its depth 30, built by Messrs. Fairbairn and Son, of Manchester. The excavation for the north basin has been removed as far as the Powder Magazine, but there has been nothing added to the masonry of late. The dredging opposite to the lock entrance was commenced a month since ; the whole of the mud is taken away by barges, and deposited outside the Breakwater ; between 20 and 30 barges are thus employed. The cranes have been commenced, and one of them is nearly completed. At present 500 men are employed on the works. It will be seen by the above that there are two caissons now in operation on the works ; contracts have been entered into for the construction of four more, one of which is required immediately for the head of the entrance lock. Yesterday (Wednesday) morning the Lords of the Admiralty finished the levee at the office of the Com modore Superintendent, in the yard, by midday, and proceeded to in-pert the Royal Marine Barracks, Royal William Victualling-yard, and Royal Naval Hospital, which occupied them until after six o'clock, when they landed at the dockyard, where they dined with Lord John Hay, and afterwards at tended the ball at Moorshead'a Royal Hotel, in aid of the funds of the institution for the destitute orphans of the navy and army. Their Lordships have not yet inspected any of the ships in progress of building in the dockyard. Sir ifildwin Walker, accompanied by Air. Edve, master-shipwright, were on board Le Smispareil seven' hours yesterday afternoon, during the absence of the Lords of the Admiralty at Stonehouse. It is stated that after a very minute inspection it has been discovered that Le Sanspareil, as she is now building, will not be able to fire her stern guns. Although nearly ready for launching, she will not be launched until th middle of next year. To-day their Lordships examine the dockyard, which will close their official labours here. In the afternoon they r ece i ve company at the Roya l Hotel, and afterwards embark on board the Black Eagle, and proceed to Queenstown. The emigration ship Fairlie, 750 tons register, Captain Davis, sailed yesterday for California, with a lull cargo of general merchandise, 15 cabin, and about 70 steerage passengers, among whom were a party of miners from the Nouveau Monde Company M Paris.

" Sir,--.ln reply to your inquiries as to the charac ter of the 'New South Channel!' into the Columbia river, and its practical use by vessels, either by sail or steam, as observed by the party of the U.S. coast survey, now engaged here, I have-to state (in the ab sence of Lieut.-Commander McArthur, chief of the hydrographical party) that the U.S. schooner Ewing crossed the bar of the New South Channel, under charge of Captain White (the discoverer of the chan nel), on the 19th April last, and so perfectly plain and accessible did this new route appear, that we could scarcely believe that we had beat into the Co lumbia river, or over its bar, so famous for the last half•century for difficulty and delay as to be a place of terror to all seamen and underwriters. Since the date referred to, now over two months, I have witnessed almost daily the passage of the bar of New South Channel,' by vessels of all classes, trading into the Columbia river, crossing at pleasure, with or without pilots, and without danger. Since Mr. White left duty at the bar (I hope, however, only temporarily), five sail have crossed the bar without pilots, viz., the brig Seguin, barques Ann Smith and Eliza, and the United States schooner Ewing, under my direction, twice ; so that I can state from my own knowledge that any observing seaman can cross, in or out, over this bar safely and certainly without an hour's delay, after having once crossed in order to observe the ranges, which are well defined, and certain to lead over in good water. We have not yet sufficiently surveyed the bar to state how much water there is at a; stages of the tide, but the least water I had in crossmg with the Ewing yestirday (vviih two careful leadsmen) was sixteen feet at half-'ide (flood), running in on s straight range of Pillar- hill tree (a vv.). remarkable landmark) just shut on over point Adam. till I deepened to five fathoms, inside the Point : of Breakers (on the north side of channel), and hauled up for the Bescons,' 011 S tnd Island (wind N.V. # N) havirg from six and seven to nine fathoms up to Sand Island Beacon, two miles inside the bar. Time from the live fathoms outside to Sand Island Beacon, twenty minutes. A vessel goes out from the anchorage at Saud Island into open ocean in from thirty to fifty minutes. There is abundant room for any vessel to work in or out, with the wind from any point of the compsss, and as the tide ebbs fair through the Channel in the best water, it greatly facilitates both ingress and egress. Tne ranges for turning Clatrop-spit are (by my own verification) Point Ellice,' with ' Pillar-hill' just shut in behind it, and Point Adams in one with the highest pass' of the mountains in the Esst C., in eight fathoms. A vessel passes clear, either in coming in or going out. As that leading psss' has no name, I propose to distinguish it as the Ewing-peak.' We have built a beacon on Sand Island, on which is a white flag, 80 feet above the island, and 85 feet above the high-water mark. Around the base of the flag-staff is a block-house, 35 feet high and fifteen feet square ; it can be seen plainly, in good weather, twelve miles at sea. By bringing the beacon-flag directly under the centre of the highest peak westward of Chinook-point, and Point Adams just open south of Pillar-hill -tree, a vessel will be in 121 fathoms, in a fair wa y t o th e bar, with bar range on, viz, Point Adams and Pillar-bill. And the usual wind from north-west, or anywhere on the western board is fair for crossing. Vessels cross the bar of the New Channel under all steering sails, or heat up the channel, as the case may be. It is not necessary to tack ship on the bar, in any wind. A sailing vessel can run to sea from Sand Island, or cotne in, in less time than she can run to Baker's-bay, after which (if in Baker's-bay) she must take her chance for wind and tide to get to sea. The anchor ages at Astoria, Sandy-point (east end of Clatrop beach), and Sand Island are god, with abundant room for getting under weigh at any stage of the tide. As soon as practicable I will designate all the points of range for which the new beacon on Sand Island can be made available. It is a superior position for a beacon light.

N., TO PROFESSOR BACHE. " U.S. Surveying Schr. E wing, Mouth of Columbia River, June 26, 1850. " Sir,—l have the honour to enclose you a copy of a letter, which, in the absence of Lieut.-Coming. McArthur, I have this day addressed to George Gibbs, Esq., deputy collector for the district of Oregon, on the navigation of the bar of the Colombia. I am happy to add, that Mr. White, the highly efficient pilot of the bar, has this morning resumed his station here with pilot-boat Mary Taylor, and that I have been able to arrange to conduct the soundings of the bar and approaches on board that vessel. This will greatly facilitate the work, and I think we see a clear prospect of completing the work in three or four months. I think it will be gratifying to the com mercial interests of the United States to know that the bar of the Columbia (oue of the noblest rivers in the world) has been stripped of all its terrors.

"My dear Sir,—l leave this with the Danish resi dt•nt at Holsteinborg, merely to say that we have safely arrived here, atter a fair passage, and although we experienced two heavy gales, we sustained no damage, while we had ample proof of both the Felix and the Mary being excellent seaboats es well us good sailers—in shr , rt, they are both everything we could desire. As I do not expect that this will reach you till October, as it will go by the Danish Government vtssel that. leaves this in September, I shall not send my accounts, vouchers, &c., being in hopes that I shall overtake the transport Emma Eugenia at Whalefish Islands, or at least some homeward-bound vessel that will reach England before that time. My object in coming here was to obtain a Danish interpreter who understands the Esquimaux language, and before I close this I shall be able to say if I have succeeded.

Regent-street _ _ [ADVERTISFAIENT.]—Headache, Nervousness, De bility, and Giddiness in the Head cured by Holloway's Pills. Mrs. Drinkwater, of Castle-street, Liverpool, had been in ill health for a considerable time, suffering from severe headache, nervousness, and a debilitated constitution, and frequently she would be 'o suddenly seized with a giddiness in the head that her strength would fail her, and she would fall to the ground. Every effort was tried to obtain relief by following prescrip tions of medical men, but without success. She then com menced taking Holloway's Pills, and this invaluable medicine soon strengthened the tone of the stomach, renovated the con stitution, and so effectually cured the headache, that she is now enjoying the best of health.

BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 12.-At Gloucester market, on the 7th, wheat of all descriptions was is per qr dearer. At Worcester same day only a trifling improvement could be realised. Barley is per quarter higher. Beans and peas held for more money. On oats the turn was in favour of the buyer. During the present week the wheat trade has ruled dull, and at Wolverhampton yes• terday rather lower prices were submitted to. Barley saleable at a rise of Is per quarter. English beans un altered, but most of the samples of Egyptian have been withdrawn. There are no sellers of peas, except at higher rates. Oats cannot be dispesed of in quintity without giving way in price. At this day's market .., . . . . there was a large supply of new wheat, which scarcely maintained its value, but cld English was fully as dear. Barley inquired for, and readily realised the above noted advance. Peas Is per quarter dearer, and beans held for a similar improvement. Oats dull, and difficult to dis pose of. . BRISTOL, SEPT. 12.—The supply of English wheat to-day has been moderate; and although the market has not been active it has evinced firmness, and the prices of this day se'nnight fully realised. English wheat must be quoted 403 to 46% per imperial quarter. Foreign white 44s to 46s per 4801bs. Foreign red, finest qualities, 42s to 44s per ditto. Foreign red, medium qualities, 40s to 42% per ditto. Foreign red, ordinary qualities, and foreign hard, 37s to 394 per ditto. There was a fair consumptive demand for flour at last week's rates. English seconds brought from 31s to 335 per sack, and American, Esc., sweet, 23s to 28s per barrel. There was more business doing in grinding barley, and for good qualities an advance of is per quarter could be obtained, but malting samples most still be considered at nominal values. English malting must be quoted 25s to 30s per imperial quarter, and English and foreign grinding 21s 6d to 23s per 400Ibs. There was a steady but not au altive demand for oats, at about the late values. Devon and Welsh feed, 14s 6d to 16s per imperial quarter. Irish white, 16s to 17s 6d per 3201b5. Irish black 14s to 15s 6d per imperial quarter. Beans experienced some improve ment, and were about 6:1 per quarter higher, English bringing from 28s to 32s per imperial quarter, and foreign from 25s to 28s per 4801bs.
