WI I, S 0 N'S SCOTTISH ENTERTAIN- At the MUSIC-HATA, STORE-STREET, BEDFORD-SQUARE, On MONDAY EVENING, April 21, at Eight o'clock, Mr. WILSON will give his new selected Entertainment on the RAN WELL, LUNATIC ASY I M -A special report of the Committee of .Visiting Justiees.of this Asylum was read.' It stated that the number of pauper lunatics in the count• had lately increased to an alarming extent, the number of patients having been double the amount during the last ten years. It also referred to the want of sufficient accommodation for the pauper lunatics of the county. A very warm discussion took place upon the subject, during which Mr. Tulk spoke at considerable length, auct alluded to the petition presented to the House of Commons by the vest►y of time parish of St. Marylebone, in which they charge the Committee of Visiting Justices with having acted injuriously to the interests of the county, by the mod; they conduct that establishment, in refusing to receive a certain class of patients sent by the parish of Marylebone; but they (the Committee) had no power to act in the way which that parish desired—namely, that of admitting old and chronic cases, and allowing them to remain in th• asvlum. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting on the 'same subject. The report was ulti►nately ordered to be printed and circu lated previous to the next Court day. The reports of the Visiting Justices of the different prisons were'read; the remarks contained therein did not exhibit anything of importance, they merely alluded to the health and coeduet of the prisone►s in the respective gaols, which was generally good.. The reports were received. After di.sposing of some other business, a county rate of three farthings in the potted was made, and the meeting separated.

PARLIAMENTARY AGENTS. Archibald Graham Moncrieff and Weems. The Caledonian Railway has been recommended by the Board of Trade as the best trunk communication through Scotland, and may confiden ly be expected to receive the sanction of Parliament hi the present session. The proposed Extensions are as follows—first, from a point on the Caledonian Railway, near Lanark, eastward, along the valley of the Tweed, by Peebles. Galashiels, and Melrose, to Kelso, where it has been arranged with Mr. Hudson that a joint station wilPhe formed with the Newcastle and Berwick Company ; and secondly, west ward, by Muirkirk to AS and Kilmarnock. A direct communication, northwards and southwards, by means of the trunk line, will thus be secured to those important districts, the expediency of which has been pointed out by the Board of Trade, for the full development of the Caledonian system. Numerous and influential rneetin.ss have been already held in those important districts, loudly calling for railway accommodation, and offering every facility and support. The Extension to the east will accommodate the richest agricul r tural districts in Scotland with timber , s late, coal, lime, and othe minerals, in all which articles they arc in themselves wholly desti tute ; while the Western Extension of the Caledonian, as well as the trunk line, intersect tracts of country remarkable for their mineral resources, but requiring a supply of agricultural produce from the east, for the Immense population engaged in manufactures and mines. When Mr. Telford made a surrey of a line from Glasgow to Kelso and Berwick, in 1810, being the first projected railway in Scot land, he reported that "it might be easily and cheaply made," and that " no districts can be better calculated for an interchange of pro duce, and for promoting each other's prosperity." He further re arks that " The whole distance from Berwick to the water sumnSit being 77% miles, and the total rise 753 feet (which Is considerably higher than the summit now proposed to be passed over), the average inclination is under 10 feet in a mile, or 1 in 528. " Inclinations so very easy over such extensive districts of country will enable the intercourse by means of railway to be carried on in both directions at a comparatively small expense, and it whl appear still more perftct when it is considered that the heavy articles of coal and lime are all to be passed downwards." The Western Extension will form the shortest and most direct communication from Edinburgh to Kilmarnock and the seaport towns of Ayr and Troon, and thence to Ireland. T e againstGia gown, by the Ho les ard an o d f T C r a a r d li e sl , e p s r c o h p : e e d , p w ar b tl ic al h l yhatso open been re portedu the resources of Ayrshire, but afforded no access from thence to Lanark and Edinburgh, or to Kelso, and Berwick, whilst the Cale donian Extension Railway, in fulfilment of the anticipations of the Board of Trade, will accomplish all these objects, and at the same time afford an equally good route southwards. COST AND SURVEY. The length of Railway which it is necessary to construct for the accomplishment of the whole important objects above specified will be about 104 miles ; and, from surveys already made and an estimate given by Mr. Locke, the Committee are assured that the Capital of 1,500,000/. will be sufficient to cover the whole expense. A Bonus in ready money, at the rate of 15 per cent. on the pre mituns received (equivalent to a reversionary bonus of about 30 per cent.) was declared in May, 1842, on all beneficial policies on which three annual premiums had been paid in the December previous. A division of the profits takes place every five years, and the hold ers of beneficial policies can receive their bonuses in ready money, or have them applied in augmentation of their policies, or in reduction of their future premiums Assurers may contract to pay their Premiums either in one stun, in a given number of payments, in annual, half-yearly, or quarterly pay ments, or on the ascending or descending scale. Officers of the Army and Navy, on active service, Persons afflicted with chronic and other diseases, and such as are going beyond the limits of Europe, are also Assured at moderate rates.

The Assured under both Systems will possess the guarantee of a large Paid-up Capital, and the farther security of a responsible body of Proprietors, without being exposed to the liabilities of partnership.

The traffic will embrace-Ist. on the Eastern portion, the carriage of the whole minerals required for the extensive manufacturing dis tricts around Galashiels, Hawick, Melrose, and Selkirk, consisting of timber, slate, coal, lime, lead, and iron, which must be conveyed to them on this Railway ; whilst their vast woollen manufactures, con sisting of tweeds, blanketting, shawls, plaidings, &c. &c. as well as raw material, must pass in return; and 2d, the conveyance of agricultural produce from the highly-cultivated South-eastern districts of Scotland and Northumberland to the dense population and mining and manufacturing districts of the West. Upon a calculation, based upon Mr. Telford's estimate, it can be shown that, at the present day, a return of upwards of five per cent. may be reckoned upon from those sources alone, after deducting forty per cent. for expenses. On the Western portion of the line to Ayr and Kilmarnock, a very large mineral and goods traffic may be relied on, independent of the Eastern Extension. From the very highly-important districts which those lines in tersect, a very large passenger-traffic may be calculated upon, not only of a local, but of a general nature. From these sources the Committee feel themselves justified in cal culating on an ample return for the capital required. The Subscribers' agreement will contain powers to the Provisional Direetors to be thereby appointed to fix the precise extent and course of the line, and the position of the termini, as circumstances may render desirable, and powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to grant a lease of the works to the Caledonian Railway Company at a rent of four per cent. and one half of the surplus profits.

It eradicates the factitious formation of tartar, and thus lends a salu tary growth and freshness to the gums. It removes from the surface of the teeth the spots of incipient decay, polishes and preserves the enamel, imparting the most pure and pearl-like whiteness; from its sa übrlous and disinfecting qualities, it gives sweetness and Perfume to the breath. Being an anti-scorbutic, the gums also share in its corrective powers; scurvy is eradicated from them, a healthy action and redness are induced, so that the teeth (if loose) are thus rendered firm in their sockets. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic cleanser and preserver of the teeth and gums ever known, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has fbr a long series of years occupied a distinguished place at the toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces the favour-in which it is held by the public at large.

BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE • COM PANY, I, Princes•street, Bank, and 448, West Strand, Lon don, March 1, 1845. Notice is hereby given, that in pursuance of a resolution passed unanimously at two successive General Meetings of Proprietors, a MUTUAL ASSURANCE BRANCH of this Institution has been established on terms peculiarly advantageous to the Assured, and that such Branch is supported by the entire subscribed capital of the Company, together with the accumulated fund of Premiums derived from upwards of Six Thousand Policies, already effected in the Pro prietary Branch. Full particnlars are stated in the Prospectus, which, with every re quisite information, may PETER MORRISON, Managing Director. To the PROPRIETORS of the BRITANNIA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. GENTLEMEN,—In calling your attention to the annexed Notice of the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, I beg leave to address a few observations to you relative to the past transactions, and the probable result of the proposed extension of the operations of the Company. That the "Britannia" Company has (alloyed the decided and (I trust I may be permitted to say) deserved approbation of the public, is clearly proved by the unprecedented fact of upwards of 6,000 policies having been issued in the short space of eight years. In order, however, to show the high degree of credit and Influence pos sessed by the Company, it is only necessary for me to state, that two highly respectable and well-established Life Assurance Companies have successively transferred their business to this establishment. The former of these transfers took place in the year 1840 ; the latter in the course of the past year. It is in consequence of this last-mentioned transfer, which included a large number of Policies effected on the mutual assurance plan, and also in consequence of the numerous applications for Assurances on this plan, which they have hitherto been compelled to decline, that the Directors at length determined on the establishment of a Mutual Assurance Branch, on the plan set forth in the Prospectus, after it had been submitted to, and unanimously approved by, two succes sive General Meetings of Proprietors, specially convened on the occasion. The general objection to Mutual Assurance Societies, that (in their infancy, at least) they do not afford that complete security to the Assured which is supplied by the subscribed capital of Proprietary Establishments, is completely removed in the Mutual Branch of the "Britannia" Company; for not only are the Mutual Policy-holders protected by the entire subscribed capital of the Proprietary Branch, but the large and continually-increasing fund, accumulated from the Premiums on 6,000 Policies already effected in that Branch, consti tutes an immediately available fund for the payment of the claims of the Assured, who will thus enjoy all the security afforded by an old established office, and, at the same time, become entitled to all the benefits to be derived from that system of Mutual Assurance which experience has proved to be at the same time the safest and the best. Another serious objection to the Mutual Assurance Plan (as gene rally acted on) is the high rate of premium required to be paid, in the Mist instance, in order to form a fund—not only for the payment of the claims, but also for the distribution of large bonuses among the policy-holders. This objection also is entirely removed by means of the half credit system detailed in the prospectus. For, by allowing half the amount of the first five annual premiums to remain for five years in the hands of the person assured, and applying the bonus (to which he would otherwise become entitled) to the gradual liquida tion of the debt thus incurred with the Company, the policy-holder enjoys the rare advantage of a very low rate of premium, in the first instance, combined with that of a full participation, eventually, in the profits. a Mutual , A h s m su r u a e n e e t e s Branch, on In availing my t te e lf e o x f tr t a h or is d o w p a po ry rtu su n c it c y ess of w e h on ic gr h at h u it la h ti ert ng o my has co shareholders trust I shall, at at tended the operations no ~er3o , f di t s l ta le n B t r p i: r a i nn od i , a ha L r i e fe still Assurance furtiler t C o o e m o p n a gr z t , u r . in every possible way, to benefit and accommo art, not only on the present important ,la‘hteicthheamfteorntthheemcoomstpalentxie souues I cannot, in and cordial co-operation justice ated to the Directors, conclude this address without calling your attention d on ' ate a t p h la e n p c u a b l l e i ce c s a s re of an th d e has been afforded to me on their p Instance in which their but also in every other advice and occasion, been needibl for promoting the interests of the Insti tution. have I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, tution. en to the able which your moat obedient servant, P ETER MORRISON, Managing Director.

The issuing of a Magazine in bound volumes monthly will remove the great objection to periodical publications when sent out in paper covers.

The plan on which the New Series of the ILLUMINATED MAGA ZINE will be Issued will obviate these objections ; it. will furnish every month, to the book-case or library, • A HANDSOME BOUND VOLUME, (Price One Shilling and Sixpence) in small Bvo., which will be enriched with the best Artistic and Li terary talent of the day.

GLOBE.—The host of petitions presented to the house of Commons against the Maynooth Endowment Bill fully bear out the admission made by Mr. Gladstone, that the majority of the nation is against the measure. 'l'he people, with an tuianimity and earnestness almost wholly unexampled, have exercised their " constitutional right," and petitioned and protested against - an application of a portion ofthe taxes, which they pay, to a purpose which they believe to be inimical to the interests, as it is opposed to the feelings,.of the majority of the people of this country. The unrestrained expression of their opinion is the con stitutional privilege and the inalienable duty of a free people. To freely canvass, and, through their repre• sentatives in and by their petitions to the Legislature, to convey their opinions upon great national ques tions, is essential to the stability of the constitution, as well as to the right administration of public affairs. Pub lie meetings, at which the discussion of their great interests thay be undertaken—the public voice raised loudly, yet beacefully, to the Parliament and the Sover e ig n — so f ar f rom eing inimical to the representative system, or in the least de gree inconsistent with it, flows naturally from it, and gives it life and vigour. Surely, it will not be pretended that the people of England are only - once in seven years to exercise the right of interfering with the management of their affairs, and that this inference is to be confined to one func tion—the choice of their representatives Were this the case, only see with w h a t p owers t h ose representatives are invested, and consider both how impossible it would be to Sod persons worthy of so onerous a trust, and how ridiculous to elect them for more than a few months. Then, Weed, the foolish sarcasm of Itosseau would have some meaning— that " once in sev en y ears t h e peop l e o f England are free; at all other times, slaves." A people limited to the exercise of this cue function of election, would be very soon either cajoled, or forced, out of the exercise of it. The elective franchise—the whole system of representation —may safely be pronounced at an end, from the moment that the people confine themselves to the exercise of this one political function, and are indifferent to, or neglectful of, the correlative duties which pertain to it. But every argument which sustains the right and enforces the duty of the people to watch with vigilance the course of legislation and the acts of the Government, also proves the danger of a disregard by the Government and the Legislature to the voice of the people, when constitutionally expressed. If the petitions of the people—when their num bers attest that they speak the voice of the majority—be treated with indifference by the representative body, the result will be a deeply-seated and dangerous convic tion that the public voice has no influence within the walls of Parliament Such a conviction is fraught with the elements of discontent, and is pregnant with danger to the social institutions of the country. Though we by no means maintain that the representatives of the people are strictly the agents of their constituents, and bound, on each particular question, to follow their specific instructions —a doctrine wholly untenable, in our apprehension—yet he would err just as far on the other side, and in a far more dangerous kind, who should hold the representatives to be quite independent of the people, except when before them at the hustings. This would be to maintain that the govern ment of England is a mere oligarchy; and that the people, exercising no voice in the administration of their affairs, limit themselves in their political capacity to the bare per formance of an empty ceremony at a general election. A Member's conduct would thus pass unnoticed, and be for gotten at each succeeding election, if the mass of his constituents stood by, idle and listless, during , the whole duration .of the Parliament. But if this were not the consequence, and supposing the people to retain their regard for public questions, and to be resolved, as far as in them lays, to be consulted ; and if we still suppose them only to interfere in the act of election—then an evil of an opposite kind, and scarcely less hurtful to the representative system, must infallibly arise. The electors, unable to trust him whom they can neither watch nor control, will take care to choose such a man as may be tied down, regarding each vote he is to give, by pre vious: stipulations. So niggardly and jealous a delega tion of this important trust would be detrimental to the working of our representative system. Yet the first evil is most to be deprecated : this would merely impair the system, by fettering the free deliberations of the representatives: that would destroy the elective system itself. But if the public voice, expressed with the unanimity it has been on the Maynooth Endowment Bill, be treated with indifference by the Legislature and the Go vernment, does not that indifference to popular opinion, when thus constitutionally expressed, imply either that the public voice is powerless, and therefore to utter its senti ments on questions before Parliament, is futile; or that the Members of the Legislature require to be bound by distinct ,pledges to their respective constituencies, to prevent them from, treating the opinions of the constituencies with con tempt ? ALLEGED INDISPOSITION OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. The following paragraphs appeared in the Horning Post of yesterday, relative to the supposed illness of the Duke of Wel lington, in the House of Lords, on Wednesday night :—, " The Duke of Wellington, whose sudden indisposition in the House of Lords, last evening, will be found noticed in the summary of our Parliamentary report, was, we are re joiced to state, on inquiry at Apsley House, shortly before midnight, pronounced perfectly convalescent.' "Considerable excitement was caused during the discus sion on this question by the sudden departure from the House of the Duke of Wellington, leaning on the arm of another Peer, in a state of great apparent feebleness," It will be seen, however, by the following letter, which we publish at the request of the Noble Duke, that the matter originated in mistake : London, April 18, 1845. F. M. the Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to the Editor of the Morning Post. His attention has just now been drawn to two paragraphs in the Morning Post of this morning respecting himself, which, considering the following circumstances, the Duke must con sider as neither more nor less than wilfully false. It is true that the Duke of Wellington, during the debate, got up from his place, and gave the assistance of his arm to a Noble Lord standing on the floor of the House, who it is well known has the misfortune to be blind, and conducted him towards the door of the House, when he placed him under the care of another person. The Duke then returned to his place, in which he remained till the House adjourned, and even took part in the discus sion of the business transacted. . A person called at the Duke's house last night at eleven o'clock, not twelve, to inquire how the Duke was. The answer was, " perfectly well," and not that " he was con valescent." He has stated these facts as the foundation for his request that the Editor of the Morning Post will be pleased to give a positive contradiction to the paragraphs above referred to ; and that the Editor will be pleased to give directions that when his name is inserted in his paper for the future, care should be taken that it is not made the matter of a falsehood. The Duke makes this request, in order, first, to relieve the anxiety of many, and next, to save himself some trouble. To the Editor of the Morning Post. Apsley•house was yesterday morning besieged by in quirers after his Grace's health. The answer was, The Duke is very well." "Oh no," was the reply, "it is stated in the paper that he was t a k en ill i n the House of Lords last night." " I can only say," rejoined the servant, " that he came home from the House last night in his usual health, and ate as good a dinner as ever he did in his life: he says he is very well himself, and I suppose he ought to know as well as the paper.'"

MA Datedthe 17th day of April, MORT ALITY IN THE MrritoPoLisTh e numbe r deaths in the metropolis, during the week ending April 12, was 906, showing a decease of 44, as compared with the previous week, and not Jess than 291, since the week ending March 22, when the number was 1,197. The deaths from bronchitis, pneumonia, and asthma are still considerably above the average, but those from consump tion are fewer. The number of •violent deaths is much less than usual, being only 13 —among whom are three suicides, and six from burns and scalds. The deaths from small- pox (16) occurred at the following ages : three under 1 y ear ; two, 1 to 3 ; four, 3 to 5 ; .two, 5 - to 10 ; on e , 11 ; two , 1 5 to 20 ; and two, 20 to 30 years. Mrs. Comfort Cornelius said she would not bare lost them for a sovereign a I►iece. She saw the defendant on the Ist of April with the pistol in his band. The defendant denied that he had used a pistol. He ad mitted having told the lady that he had killed the cats; but that was no reason why he should have done so. The com plainant came in a flame, and w as so much exeited; and she could not be surprised at it if so. as the cats had annoyed him very much. A female witness, a neighbour, deposed, that she bad heard Mr. Banks say that he had shot the cats on the Ist of April, and another the day previous. The defendant said he was annoyed by five cats from one house, and was not that a serious nuisance? Mr. Grove told the defendant he was convicted on hit own confession ; he should, therefore, in the present instance, tine hint 55., and 9.5. costs; and, in default, commit him for one week to the county gaol. The money was paid immediately, and the parties retired, apparently by no means pleased with the result. SIR H. POTTINGER. On 3londay the freedom of the city of Edinburgh was conferred upon Sir Henry Pottinger. After the LORD Pnovosr had addressed the gallant officer in appropriate terms— Sir H. MIFFING GP, said--I assure you I feel quite unable to express the high sense I entertain of the honour which I ' receive by your enrolling me among the citizens of Edin burgh. l trust I need not assure you that I went out to China with a full determination to act as I did at the moment of victory. I had long made up my mind to feel that the people of China were like ourselves, and like people in all other parts of the world, open to kindness, good-will, and persuasion.—(Loud applause.) Upon this p inciple I acted throughout all my proceedings with China up to the last. hour. It is very gratifying for me to find that I have not only been successful in el that was left me to do by my own Government, but I believe. I may say, without as suming too ' much, that I have left a very good impression athong the Chinese, and that that impression•is not worn out. As an instance of which 1 may mention, that within the last fortnight or three weeks I have had letters from t.hina, in which I am led to believe that everything referring to me is the standard by which the Chinese iiovernment wish to con duct thentselves.—(Applause.) As a further proof -of the good feeling and kind recolle c tio n th a t obtains there, I learn that Paening, the Chief Commissioner, has sent me his pic ture, which is now on its way to England. I mention these as proofii that what I did has not been forgotten. lam moss happy to find that all my proceedings in China haw suc ceeded so welt, and that they have been honoured with your approbation. I need not say more than express my thanks for the honour you have done me. On all occasions I shah recollect this event as one of the h 3 PPiest in lily life. — (A pplause. ) Sir Henry then shook hands with the members of the town council present, and withdrew amidst the repeated applause of those present. —Scotsman.

At eight o'clock the requisition was still in course of signa ture, and would, in all probability, be presented last night.
