The Right Hon. the Earl of ROSEIIERY, K.T., President. At the Thirty-third Annual GENKR AL COURT, held in Edin burgh on the •,!d Mar h, 1841, the Hon. Lord COCKBURN la the Chair, the Manager read various statements, showing inter alia, That the amount of Insuran:-es effected during the year ending 31st December, 1146, was 447,2001, and the number of Policies 617, being on an average of about 7301. for each policy. That the average Amount of Insurances etrectel annually during the last ten years had been upwards of Lai( a Million. That the capital arising from the accumulation of the Annual Pre miums was, at the same date, 1.80a,8t>07. Os. 9.1 having increase.' during the year the extent of upwards of 121,000 1 . That the Atinual Rev , nue was, at the satire date, 266,3641. 13s. having increased during the year to tee extent of upsvard.s of 17,4001. That the claims upon the Society, in consequence of the death of Members during the year 1846, antautite I its 103,9107. I6s. 3d., of which, 20,2801 34. 3d. consisted of bonus additiiiiis—the number of deaths being 82. That, large as these sums were, however, amid nu •merons as were the deaths, it had been ascertained by an approxi mate calculation, that they it ere only in the ratio of 54 per cent. of what might have le en es pectett according to the bills of mortality, which form the basis Mall the SvUley's tables. Lord Cockburn, alter special reference to the results shown in the above statements, thus concluded his address to the Court : —" Now t ese are facts to which we are entitl, d to look forward not merely with hope, for nothing is more delusive :hem hope, but with lui,:e which is not only et:mitt:tent but ritaOliati.—(hear, hear.) I have only to add, that enormous as these sums are, and de ding, though we have been. with hundre 's and thousands of interested individuals, we have never, since we began, had o casion to enter a Court sy Justice. — (Applause.) We hare not had a single litigation since the Society began its labours. We have invested sums, the very mention of which staggers our conceptio , s, and this in periods of great public trouble, when great shocks were given to the stability of almost every kind of security; and yet we have not lost by a single bad invest ment, I can say nothing that can add to the force of these facts. Words vrou'd he perfectly idle. It seems ometo be impossible that any intelligent or reflective mind can avoid contrasting the quiet and steady progres•iveness of this Society with other modes of laying out money, in which there is often no gain at all, or in which the gain of one man is the lass of another. (Hear, hear.) That cannot happen here. Th:se are waters upon which every man who casts the bread of his prudence, 18 ,ertain to have it returned at the time at which those who are dearest to him stand in the greates: need of it.—(Applause.) I dare say yuu have often observed that the best part. even of the best discourse, ale ays c,oesists 1 the wit ticai imptovement.—(Laughter.) I now come to my practical improve ment, which is just this : I suppose all of yeu have a taste for these Bonuses. I am mean enough to confess hat I have. (Laughter,) Well, how do you intend to expect that they are to contlnae to be paid? Why, solely by increasing otr business. The Directory cannot go on addleg two per cent, to our policies every year, unless we enable them to do so by additions to our business. Au , ' how are we to increase our business ? These gentlemen wrform their duty by making the society flourish. We h• ve ht . tividuall a dui, t.. perform also.

A sum f',r more than equal to the valne of the policies is invested in the public securities, in the names o the trusters, so as to Le at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. was added to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual Interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has beet[ calculated, on which, as well on the participating scale, one-halt the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001 on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 10(11. for the whole Life, one-half et which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent.; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

The veteran Blewitt on Wednesday night afforded a rich treat to the admirers of native talent, on the occasion of his benefit concert. There were tew of the eminent artists who did not readily promise to give their assistance to nne who had so long and so meritoriously been known both as a composer and performer, and whoss kindliness of heart and gaiety of disposition—a gaiety that still happily remains, notwithstanding that he has attained the age beyond which all is said to be " lab iur and vexation "—has endeared him to those who base the pleasure of his acquaiwance. The programme pie sented a rich and varied assortment of attractions. of no common order, and allhough there was a little oisap po ntinent, osing to the non-appearance of some of the gentlemen who had pledged themselves to attend, yet the ladies were present without a single exception, and by their kindness, and the read.ness with which they contributed audit anal aid; more than compensated fur the defaulters. The rooms were crowded in all parts, in fact it would have be. n almost. impossible to admit more, so that Blewitt had the most satisfactory evidence of the estimation in which he is held by the public, and many golden reasons to be contented, notwelyeandieg the disappointments to which we have adverted. The madrigals, "AI creatures now are merry minded," by lknnett, and " Merrily wake music's measure," from Barnett's opera of Fair Rosamond, were well rendered by the young gentleman of " the abbey," under the able direction of Mr. Turle, assisted by a numerousatid effective choir. The l)istin Family delighted the audience by their admirable per formance on the Sax horns of a selection loom Lucia, and the madrigal. "In the pleasant summer day." Rousselot on the violnicello, Herr Kuhe on the pianoorte, Frederick Chatterton on the harp, and Grattan Cooke on the oboe, afforded it rich treat to the lovers of instrumental music ; while the vocalists were most admirably accompanied by T. Cooke, and by Blewitt himself. Mr. Machin gave, viith great expression and ieeling, " The hand of friendship," composed expressly for himself by Biesvitt, which called farth the strongest applause ; while Miss S t eele, Mrs. Geor , iana Plueamer, Mr and Mrs. Weiss, and Miss Rainforth, had their exeitions greeted with loud and long-continued plaudits. We have seldom been mere de-lighted than with the cavatina " Robert, toi que j'anne," from Robert le Diable, which was most exqusitely given by Miss Mordan ' a young lady, who was announced as pupil to Mr. T. Cooke ; we believe it was her first appearance in the metropolis; she was mani festly nervous at first, but her timidity rapidly vanished, and she executed the most difficuit passages wi.h a power and precision which we have rarely heard equalled. Her voice is a full rich soprano, of consider able power and compass, and it appears to have been well matured and cultivated ; added thereto, she pos sesses the charm of a very pretty face, graceful figure, and most agreeable manner. She will, prove a valuable acquisition to the musical world, ard we are much mistaken if she does not attain a very high posi tion in the profession to which she has devoted herself. We venture to predict that if she should direct her atten tion to theatrical pursuits she will make a capital hit, and prove an important addition to our English opera. Blewitt himself gave his "Beautiful eyes" with all the rich comicality fur which he is so remarkable. He was rapturously encored, and convulsed the audience with " The merry little man." The alteration, however, en tailed additional labour on himself, as it secured an additional encore, to which he responded with another "laughter-compelling" lyric of his own compo sition. Miss Itainforth was in excellent voice, and gave the ballad " Gone is that calmness," and " My love and cottage near Rochelle" (en unexpected treat), with grew. sweetness; while Miss M. O'Connor infused the rich melody of the Irish brogue into " The Shepherd's Winter Song' with considerable effect. Blewitt himself con cluded the evening with another of his comic gems, " When I get married, oh dear, oh dear!" The audience appeared well satisfied with the varied entertainment provided ; they would have been fastidious indeed had it been otherwise. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

Two years ago the sum of 1,000/. was offered (we believe by a few perking of the B,pti.t peTsuasion), for the beat oil painting of the Baptism of Christ, by im mersion, in thejliver Jordan. Though the c.diipetition was thrown ( - Tel, to artists of all nations, only eleven pictures have been sAt in. They are now in tne Picture Gallery (Formerly the Chinese Exhibition Room), II; de Park corner. They will be immediately exhibio dto the public at large. Meanwhile there has been a private view, vviiich we aaentled, and the impression lett on our mind may be %fry brieliir elated. t 'tThe, eleven altypeting artists decided the places tr their pictures by ballot. Ve take the m as they run in the catalogue, and mention this in order that our read' rs may not imagine that the precedence is givee to merit. 1. Frank Howard. There is seine hold d.uwit.g here, and vivid colouring. But the action of the tno principal figures—Christ and the Baptist—is theatric4l, than which nutting can be worse in a licit', ural pitce. Neither do we timcl authority fur repiesentite4 Antbew. l'eter, John (" the beloved apostle"), Zehede e, the Virgin, Martha, the other Mary, Lazarus, and Z.:cha, ries present at the baptism. 2. Edward Robertson.—The same fault ex;sts here, and to a great. r degite. It is a decid.d anachronism to represent the baptism as performed in the pr. senee of Joseph of Arituatitt-a, Mary and Murtha, John the Evangelist, Peter, and Mathew. lode. d, the artist admits, in his description, that " some of these indivi duals may or may not have been present." The truth of a 'cripture piece should be paramount. The execution show, a true pered, but the tote is not good. 3. L. H. S‘ bbers. Here, also, we have a variety of figure-, quite as well omitted, if the le't:er of the Scriptures be adhered to. The eempo-iii-n is sery good, and parts of the picture very well panitt d. 4. William Fiek.—The artist represents only two Scriptural personages, Christ and the Baptist. In the distance a halt of Bedouin Arabs marks the locality. I The attitude* are easy and natural, the a ompositien go-J. the expression admirable. and the flesh of Christ is übsoait- ly Tithrnesque. The opposite characteristics of the great Vtiletian and Rafaelle—coleuriug and expression—are beautifully blended. 5. D. Scott.—ln many respects a good painting, but introducilig too many figures hi the foreground, many of which might have been dispensed with. They distract and divide the attention with those of the Re deemer and the Baptist, who should occupy the only prominent position. G. J. Hutchings. Crowded with figures which have no right to appear—the ery cution ind tr rent. As for expression, the face of St. John remin!, d us of Scott's description of Friar Tuck. 7. John Wood. A variety of figures mar the design here, though the variety (.71 colouring which they admit makes the painting very showy. Parts of the picture are very pleasing, but ti e pr.ncipal figures are failures. The Baptist stands erect in the Jordan, with his hand raised over the head of Christ, as if he was then about to pour a little water on his head : indeed, it seems as if the hand had originally held a vessel of some sort. St. John also wears a robe in addition to his covering of skins. Christ appears shrinking, as if he expected water to be poured on his head, and this gives him a crooked attitude, which Mr. Wood calls a recumbent position "—the usual acceptation of thy word being lying, rather than leaning. The two prin cipal figures are searce!y life-size. 8. Edward Uphugh.—Very spirited in parts, but the water appears to flow up-hill, and Christ is represented as if he were about drowning, and a crowd looking on. 9. H. B. Ziegler.—This is avowedly unfinished; yet it has considerable merit. It has far too many figures, and Chris: appears tatting in the water. 10. George Browning.—Christ and the Baptist are alone. One with a blue and the other a scarlet robe, neither garment having the least appearance of having been in the water. The tone of the painting is good. 11. Augustine Aglio.—There is nothing here to in dicate that Christ has just come cut of the water. The drawing is good, and the colouring harmonious. Out of all the pictures only three (Nos. 4, 10, and 11) have fully complied with the terms named by the prize givers, and of these No. 4 (by Mr. Fisk) is by far the best. We look on it as the prize-%inner. REPEAL OF THE RATE-PAYING CLAUSES. A public meeting of the inhabitants of the metropolis was held onWedn:sday evening at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of passing resolutions condemnatory of the rate-paying clauses, and for adopting petitions to Parliament in favour of Mr. Duncombes in tended motion for the expungement of these clauses from the Reform Bill. Mr. Sense was called to the chair, and said that be was sorry to see so small a meeting, but this was in some measure owing to the circumstance of there being three or four meetings t h a t evening on the quest ion of education. The question which they bad met to discuss was one that involved the rights of the sukect. There were very few persons who could, under existing cir curnstanc,s, make use of the opportunities that had been afforded thfm. It was necessary for them to give the Government some intimation that they would not be con•ented with finality. The dissolution that would shortly take place would bare the effect of testing those gentlemen's popularity who said that they were not en titled to a more e xtensive voice in the representation. The SECRETARY here read letters from the following gentlewen, woo stated that they regrett,d their inability to attend, but expressed their sympathy will the object of the meeting, and their dseitrerem.ination Napier, M.to support it, v i e , ..: , -- ripi N . ,r. ,m l . lr p tt . ; lc s le i y r ., W )4 . .

Mr. SAV4.GE ~, That it . - proposed th e f o ll ow i ng reso l u ti on: — is the opinion of this meeting that certain Acts passed in the reign of his late Maj est y Ki n g William IV., inti tuled. ' Acts t o amen d t h e re pre sentation of the people in Great Britain and Ireland,' having failed to fulfil the just expectations of the people; and, as such Acts are not and cannot be final, i: is expedient to amend the same by the repeal of the rate-paying clause=, and by other alterations calculated 0 prevent all undue in fluences in counties, cities, and boroughs, and subversive of the fair representation of the people in Parliament.' One•haif of the effect of the Reform Bill was stultified by the clause which retained the property qualifications. That was 4 fraud upon them. Au effort was made to • nags e freclom of choice, and the principle was tried in Marylebone, the expense of which had been defrayed by tradesmen like him self. The reason that they had not been success ful arose from the framing of the Reform Bill. On that occasion 2,000 voters were struck off the poll for not having paid their rate up to the hour. Now the in jurious tendency of these clauses was, that a power was vested in the cull( ctors of rates to disqualify. by their conduct voters. To contend with the Conservative in terest it was necessary to form committees. The ves tries, in consequence of the law, became the real elec tors ; they were %irtnatly in no better position than they had been under the system of rotten boroughs. In consequence of the complicated machinery of the Re form Bill, notwithstanding the partial good it had effected, it had failed to carry out the promise that it held forth to the people ,at large. Under the present system they were not enabled to select their represents tires from men of integrity and wor t h, b ut t h ose w h o could bear the expo ores of an election. Now a practical means of doing away with that would be by making e,ch ale tor pay a portion of the ex p enses of the election; and an office might be estallished in eael i b orough where every information might be aff9:ded to the electors. But I these practical measures were altogether lost sight of by the Government, 411 d it was only by an a gitat i on , origniateil with the people, that any improvement could be hoped for. Mr. SIOZLTON seconded the resolution. Ile contended Ithat a properly qualification was an evidence that the people of this country were not in t heir p ro p er position, fur the wtalth-producing portion of the ib population ,at were prn. ntitled to a voice in the representat ion. cip!e could oily be carried out b' an agitation among s t themselves, for the cause which they had met to advo cate was iwt obe of general popularity. '1 he resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. ERNtST JONES then moved a petition to Parliament, deprecating in very strong language the llTl perteetiohS of the Reform Bill, advocatin:, the principle of progressive reform, and praying for the total and im trie.liate repeal of the rate-paying clauses, and for the extension of the el, ctoral tranchise. _ . . Mr. COCHRANE. in seconding the resolution said, that the rate-paying clauses in the Reform Bill were con ceived in a spirit of cowaruiee, anti carried in a spirit of treachery. He could conceive nothing more unjust than these cruses, by which, if a person ceuld not meet punetually his rates, he was to be deprived of hit politi cal franchise. The time had now arrived when the people could propose their own terms to their repre sentatives, fora eneral election was at hand. Ile - was of the Sameiiiiiiiiivas some of the preceding speakers, that the suffrage should not be subjected to the present unjust limitations. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. T. DITNC,IRRE, M.P., who was loudly cheered. next addressed the meeting. The Hon. Gentleman said, that on the last occasion that he bad the honour of meeting them in that room they were assembled for th e purpose of agreeing to a petition in favour for leave td introduce that very Bill, which had for its object the abolition of the rate paying clauses. -la thought it was right that he should explain to them what had become of that petition and that Bill. The petition was duly presented to that honourable House.— (Laughter.) After its presentation, he rose for the purpose of askteg per mission to bring in a B:11 for the abolition of the rate paying clauses, which went to a great er extent of incon venience than many were aware of. In that verycity ~ f Westminster, if they did not pay to the exact . time that the rates tecstue due, they were disqualified, and that, too, by the treachery of the colkctsrs, or some other unfair means. They were, in consequence, placed B in il a l; w fo "P r till eP tbeitnkinhetyhahn before adonlytot he show passing the r e o c t e t i p h e ta ße for fo t r h in e rates for the past year. Ile was told, when he rose on the occasion to which he had alluded, namely, to intro , duce his Bill, that if he said as little as possible on that Bill that Ministers would allow him to introduce it. There was certainly one object gained by its introduc tion. He afterwards asked them whether they would stifle it at its birth, or whether they would allow it to go into Committee. They replied, that as they did not approve of the principle of the Bill they should oppose it. He then said, that the sooner they fought the battle the better. lie afterwards mowed for a commission, and stated the reasons thet he had heard urged there and elsewhere in favour of the measure, when Lord John Russell rose and said he could not hear of that Bill, for it was a gross innovation ef, and did violence to, the constitution of England. They knew the result of the division that succeeded. Ile (Mr. Duncombe) was de feated by a majority of twenty. lie must say that upon that occa•ion be was grossly disappointed at the conduct of several gen t l emen , M em b ers of the House of Commons, because he saw t h ose w h o h a d voted with him for the introduction of the Bill oppose it, and wit nessed gettlemen then voting in direct contradiction to the pledges they had given to their constituents. Even those very gentlemen who had attacked Lord John Ressell for his finality doctrines, he saw do what, in his opinion. w as worse ti-an a m an ly o pp os i t i on, s k u lki ng and running away. lie would not earne those on that occa sion to whom h e r e f erre d, f or anot h er opportunity would be given them of r etr i w i ng t h e i r c h aracter. The occa sion of bringing that Bill before Parliament was not the first, and, perhaps, it would not be the last, time that he had been defeated in fighting the cause of the people. --(Clic ers.rt, He had givk n notice of arother motion, which would have the effect of testing the opinion of the House of Commons as to whether or not, ,in the words of the petition. Vie Reform Bill l,ad disappointed t! e hopes of the people of England, and whether it was " r was tiot. to be a final measure. He knew these were i very unplessnt words to Lord John Russell.—(A laugh.) II s tieniou would also test whether or not it was in tended to do away with what was obnoxious in the Reform Bill—all that was i. jurieus to the rights of the people. lie considered that they were not to be cot: tented with the abolition of those rite -pa) ing clauses. the tenant•right should be dune a'say with ; they should also have the protection of the ballot. lie wu happy to say that in Finsbury he believed the electors did not care two straws tor the ballot, because they were to numerous to be bribed, and too hone s t and independent to be intimidat e d from givn.g a 9. , uscientious vote. That was because they bad not hanging over them the Milne same corrupt influence th a t ~ , D;ii,e in that aristocratic portion of the metropolis ( A estinnister). They shoul i analyse th e divisions that had taken ph cc. If they were in favour of firalit v let th, m vote f ur thos- who had o pp •, e d hi s mot i on ; Vut if they were i n fav, ur of progression, let them to a man support those Members who voted in favour of his motion. for the) m ght depend upon it that the former w, re not iteservieg of their confidence. They must let the Home know that the principle center ded for in the Bill which he had introduced was no crotchet of his, but proceeded flora the treat body of the people. They should call on ettir ri ptesentatives to act in conformity with the wishes of those who elected them; and as for him (Mr. Duecianhe) he wss ready again to fight the battle in behalf of tee peeple wheili ver they thought proper, so that upon them, hereafter, upon the exhibi tion and demin,straiion which the people of England would make on the present subject, weeld depend the question of further reform. He was happy, in conclusion, to state, thet he had received communications from all parts of the United Kingdom, even from Ireland, approv ing of the principle upon which they had proceeded, and he did really believe that the next division of the House of Commons would be n uch more satisfactory to them, alai all iiiih Fe-ndent electors. than when they first mooted the question, for the consideration of which they had assembled them that evening. Attcr a vote of thanks to the Chairman the meeting separated. COURT-MARTIAL AT CHATHAM.
