Nelson, Esq. _ _ i• mttt hw ai-pn that a person i______..--1.---- ------- On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a persoi under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2dly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. ardly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time, by giving et fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11 up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest fur his money, and in case of death his family receive mere than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancad elled of thehavi mom he ceases to pay his current premiums , and, insteng any thud to Sy to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his mer efortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too eq uitable and too striking to be overlook ed and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which impar can be diffused. It un i versa lly recognised and adopted when the principles - tially canvassed, and its pa l p able benefits become widely confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in th x e hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor i case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there aro principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and ascot). -equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LAW ERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, andi s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press. to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rest arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which arc too generally confided to the carp of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

Well, as a stopped clock is certain to tell the time correctly nce in every twelve hours, we think it very likely that our neighbour's lucky hour has come round, in reference to this announcement. We have observed that the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer has been very moody of late. We can not say he has been sulky, because no man of genius is ever so. But he has been in a state of solitary contemplation and unwonted taciturnity—moping, like Gray's owl, and mentally complaining— Of such as, wandering near his secret bower, Molest his ancient solitary reign. First, he has had competitors for his berth—then, we suspect, a virtual successor. The fact is Sir R. H. Inglis is endeavouring to believe himself into the assurance (consummate as that may be), that he is leader of the Opposition. On him has fallen the luck of having chosen the field of " battle of the constitution." Whatever he op poses is opposed by the Opposition, Whether by chance, or by design, he has " awakened and found himself famous." ... Formerly he brought up the rear of faction. Now he leads its van. - The reason is this : Protection is dead, buried, and condemned to Fiddler's Green. _ There is no longer " a good cry." Tories are without a cause—without even a theory. Before the Reform Bill, when themon- archy - was something, and the aristocracy all in all, they had a budget of principles. They fought for the prerogatives of the Crown—they defended the privileges of the oligarchical institution—they re sisted the encroachments of democracy. Later— when the Reform Bill swept away all these crotchets —they fell back upon the patronage of great inte rests, as contradistinguished from the general weal of the public. But these have been broken down one by one, by the irresistible progress of common sense and common honesty ; and especially by the growth of a great population, dependent upon none of those patent privileges of public plunder. Cor ruption has been bereaved of its clients by the besom of destruction and the new broom of reform. The sugar-hogshead party care nothing now for that factious sympathy which is impotent, either to bring back slavery to the West Indies, or a differential duty in favour of Jamaica. Canada has lost its timber tax, and its preferential privi leges in the shape of protection to its flour and grain. It cares nothing for champions who only bewail without restoring it against the loss of its 10s. a barrel and 2/. per load. The shipping in terest hears volunteer friends prophesying its ruin from the repeal of the navigation laws, and lament ing the destruction of the " nursery for British seamen." But it also finds practically that the navigation laws are abolished—that there is no chance of their restoratien, and that it is wiser to make the best of a free trade than to dissipate its energies upon the vain regrets of faction—and so Mr. G. F. Young: , has retired to Switzerland. Nay, even the faring and landed interests have become tired of jeremiads over the depression of British agriculture and the discouragement of na tive industry, in the face of a steady market and a universal rise of wages, and display a disposition to disown Derby and Rew . clegate-Ljus - t as respectable men who have been betrayed at night into the Coal Hole, in the Strand, cut their scurvy companions when they meet them in the so- briay of the morning streets. A large (cer tainly not a great) party suddenly finds itself without a cause, without principles, without clients, without a grievance, except that of having nothing to complain of. What the deuce is it to do ? It fills the Opposition benches, "as well as better men." It is, indeed, but "an alligator stuffed"--a " beggarly account of empty boxes ;" but is not yet thinly scattered to make up a show." It has " very good friends," although no longer "an excellent plot." Nobody will have it— nobody will take it into its service. The Crown endured its infliction only as a transitory make shift ; the people submitted to its interference merely that they might not be absolutely without a Government. It coheres simply by the repulsion of every other interest in the State, and if it can not find clients, it must make them. It rattles the dice—it posts it last stake—it gambles for power on the purse of the Church. Yes—that is literally its last trump card, and it plays it badly. The Jew Bill has served it for one week—the Clergy Re serves Bill has found it in talk for another—it has spoken against time to prolong the postponement of the final decision of the Rouse upon the third reading of the former measure. In short, it has dwindled into a mere Church party—a purely ecclesiastical opposition representing not the country, but the prejudices of the bishops—not the great interests of the British people, but the pickings and peculations of a sordid hierarchy. We witnessed the discussion in committee of the Canada Clergy Reserves Bill. Sir R. Inglis assumed the most prominent position. Thesiger, Napier, Walpole, Pakington, minimised the matter into a squabble about commas, dots, and parentheses. They so trifled with the and patience of the house, that Ministers at last scarcely deigned to notice or to answer them. But ten o'clock came. They had thereby tided over the other Church question until after Easter—and so apparently they felt they " had done the State some service. " Well, the " Ides of March will come," and we trust the country will make up its mind to put an end to this miserable faction and its nonsense. The Jew Bill must be made law—that's flat. If it were for no other reason than that the Commons have re peatedly passed it, their will must not again be trifled with. Self-respect, a decent regard for the rights of their constituents, demand that they should no longer tolerate the lordly veto upon that which has for upwards of twenty years, and by large majorities, been again and again asserted as the voice of the nation wind of its constitutional re presentatives. We must not any more be fobbed off with sophisms in place of reasons ; or cheated out of our resolves by mean prejudices clumsily disguised in pretended patriotism, and the conceited malignity of bigotry passed off as zeal for religion. We do not believe that the causes assigned are the real grounds of opposition to the measure. We en counter a resistance on false pretences. No Dissenters, no Catholics, hesitate to admit the Jews to the rights of citizenship. The Church party alone would bar the doors against them—and in their secret hearts they would, on the same grounds, shut the gates of the constitution in the faces of the Papists, the Presbyterians, and the other Dissenting sects. These are too numerous and too powerfulto be kept out—that is all. The Jew, on the other hand, like the charity boy, may be securely persecuted, be cause he is weak, and " has no friends." Just look at the paltry excuses that are urged for his being kept out on the wrone , side of the pale of the con stitution. The chief is, that his admission will " unchristianise the Legislature." If "a little leaven," as Thesiger pleaded, " leavens the whole lump," the question comes to be, which is the dough, and which the yeast ? The Jews are called exclusive, set apart, a peculiar people. If they manifest a disposition to mingle with us, to identify themselves with our institutions, to enter into our habits, customs, laws, business, is it not infinitely more true that, by the intercourse which the Hebrew people hold with Gentiles, we are Chris tianising the Jew, than that the Jew is unchristian ising us ? Again—if, by the repeal of the Jew oath in the case only of Jews, we are unchristianising the Legislature, wo have already dispensed with the obnoxious words in the case of the Papists. Have we unprotestantised the Legislature by the Catholic oath, or disestablished the Episcopal Church by the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts ? We do not care which answer we receive to these questions. If Parliament is still Protes tant, notwithstanding the Catholic Relief Oath, it will still be Christian, although it does not ask a Jew to swear to the New Testament. If the Church be still established and united' to the State, not withstanding the removal of Dissenting disabilities, then is Christianity a " part and parcel of the law of the land," although the Hebrews are no longer robbed of their rights in the name of religion. If, on the contrary, the status of Protestantism and of the Church was destroyed by the Catholic and Dissenting Relief Bills, then there is no longer any pretext for pleading a national faith for exclusive ness in political rights. Then it is g rave l y urged that Jews, from the very nature of th e i r religion, have no identity of feeling or interest with the nations among whom they settle that their thoughts and " faces are turned towards Jeru salem "—that they are a nation within them selves, with Syria for their fatherland, and that their mind and heart can never undergo the process of assimilation into theAeoduntry in which 1)e born. they may happen to crotchet of sentimental Churchmen is this fanciful people from the enjoyment citizenship ! What have to bar a whole_ of its prerogatives of senti ment ? The idea of Baron Rothschild • ina for Duke dying for Forfar ; Sir Peter Lawrie Jerusalem, is about as feasible as ht of Sir lames we do with that John Pixie for Edinburgh ; or Mr. Hume for Mon trose ; Sir John Romilly, Larpent or Le Marchant, Le Fevre, Labouehere for Paris • , or the Barings or Sir or Bentineks for Amsterdam. Look at the pharisaic disingenuousness of this pretext. The sneaking satisfied to take hypocrites wh o ma k e it are quiff an oath from the Catholic do nothing that he will that op led J acobi upnu— Are 4ssion-and yet they affect to be lieve that no oath will bind the people who, of all 'lhers, are the most tenacious of oaths, to promote e interest of the country in which they and their ancestors were bred, born, and have their sole means of living, because they have a longing for Jerusalem, and pine for Syria. We might, indeed, suggest that the electors might be safely left to deal with this part of the candidate's predilec tions. There are many rich and travelled Jews —but they don't go to Palestine. Even Sir Moses Montefiore, when he makes a trip to the Holy City, takes very good care to come back again to Rams gate. In fact, the whole affected difficulty of the - Church Parliamentary flunkeyhood on this point is mere execrable fudge. If there were anything real in it, w h y do they not go much further ? A senator without patriotism is surely infinitely less dangerous to the constitution than an active enemy to its leading features. Why are not Republicans excluded from Parliament by a monarchical oath, or democrats by an oligarchical confession ? These are real perils, but they are left, with a thousand other particulars, to be dealt with by the electors, who will take very good care first of all to be satis fied of a man's loyalty and patriotism before they will tolerate him at the hustings. The only other " bit of blarney" for the notice of which we have room, is a pretext, the very mention of which appears an insult equally to the intelligence and the religion of the nation. The climax of the Inglis resistance to the bill is that, "to admit - a Jew to Parliament would be to dishonour. the Christianreligion, by endowing, with political rights, one who must believe that our blessed Lord was an impostor." Now, the proponent of this objection calls the Roman Catholic religion anti-Christ, or opposed to Christ. The confession of faith of the Church of Scotland, established by law, calls the Pope " that man of sin and son of perdition ;" yet episcopacy and presbytery have both admitted anti-Christ and the followers of the son of perdition to Parliament. All orthodox sects declare that " Unitarians are deniers of the Lord that bought them ;" yet Unitarians are admitted to Parliament. Nay, the service of the Church of England so lemnly turns its face to the Fast on Trinity Sunday, and we know not how many other days, and de voutly consigns all Unitarians to eternal torments —yet there in the Senate-house sit Mr. Thornley, Mr. W. J. Fox, besides Sir R. H. Inglis ; and the Archbishop of Canterbury beside Lord Lovelace and other Unitarian .Peers. But if the admission • of Jews to their rights isa dishonour to Christianity what are we to think of the Church ? The Arch bishops of York and Dublin, the Bishops of Nor wich, Llandaff, and nearly a dozen more, have all voted for the removal of Jewish disabilities—and, therefore, either the Church dishonours Christi- or the emancipation of the Jews does not. But here the calls on our space abbreviate the lo quacity of our polemics, and we must postpone what more we have to say " until a more conve nient season." 'POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE.—.Toseph. Clayworth, the poultry salesman, of No. 74, Gracechurch-street, appeared to answer the following complaint : Police-constable William Baldwin, 537, stated, that on the night of the 18th inst., at 11 o'clock, he heard screams of "Murder " proceeding from 74, Gracechurch street, and on hastening thither he found the door open, and a crowd of persons in front of the house. On enter ing the shop he saw the defendant beating his wife, and blood was streaming from her mouth. He parted them, and observed, "Mr. Clayworth, you should not beat a woman like that ;" to which he replied, "Turn her out of my house ;" and having repeated some imprecations both filthy and awful, added, " I have got something here, as soon as I can get it, that will do for you." He then went to the far end of the shop, and, taking down a hammer, said, "You may draw your truncheon. I have got something as good as you have." Another constable arrived, and defendant then flung down the hammer and went into the parlour, after shaking his fist in witness's face. Police-constable Blake, 556, spoke to the violent treat ment of Mrs. Clayworth by her husband. About five weeks ago he interfered, and the defendant threatened to do for him. Alderman Copeland asked the defendant to reflect seriously upon the position he would have been in if he had killed his wife. When the officers interfered, they saw blood flowing from her mouth ; and as ho liked to call things by their proper names, he must say the de fendant was a brute. He could send him to prison for a month, without inflicting any fine ; but as this was his first appearance, he would fine him 405., and order him to enter into his own recognisance in 801., to keep the peace for six months. The fine was paid. BOW-STREET.—Jane Davis, who was suffering with a black eye, and, as she informed the magistrate, with " dreadful pains all over," was charged with at tempting to rob a gentleman of his watch. The prosecutor, Mr. Frawley, a furrier, stated that he was walking along Holborn the previous evening at about nine o'clock, when the prisoner came up to him suddenly, and snatched his watch out of his pocket, but did not succeed in getting it from the chain. The Chief Clerk—What did you do then ? Witness—l knocked her down. (A. laugh.) Mr. Day, a respectable tradesman in the neighbour hood, was attracted to the spot by the crowd, and, seeing Mr. Frawley (whom he knew and recognised) en gaged in conflict with the woman, he called for the police. -In about twenty minutes a constable ap peared, and the prisoner was secured. Inspector Wilkinson said that the prisoner was in custody some time back for robbing a gentleman of thirty-two sovereigns, but, disliking the probable expo sure, he did not appear against her. The prisoner—Look at my eye, Sir, where he struck me—and my back and shoulders. I can hardly stand. Mr. Jardine—l dare say ; but a man hardly stops to consider where he is striking when he is suddenly at tacked in this way. As you did not get the watch, I shall commit you for a month. CLERKENWELL.—WiIIiam, Carden was charged with stealing a 101. note, a 51. note. and other money, from Mr. James Henry Thompson, of Vincent-street, Oakley-square, Somers-town. The prosecutor stated, that on Tuesday night last the prisoner, who is related to him by marriage, supped with him at his own residence, and stopped with him until the next day, when they separated, the accused stating that business called him to Paddington. On witness's arriving home in the evening, he missed the cash from his sleeping-room, and feeling satisfied that the prisoner only had taken it, he went to him, when ho said, " Oh, I took it for a joke, and have given it to uncle to take care of, and you shall have it again to morrow morning, if you will go with me." This off-hand conduct of the accused lulled witness's suspicions until the next day, when, as the prisoner neglected to keep his appointment, the prosecutor consulted Abrahams, the detective officer of the S division, by whom Carden was captured at the London-docks on Friday, rigged out in the costume of a midshipman. The policeman on search ing the prisoner, discovered where he had taken fresh lodgings, and on examining them, the constable found two dozens of new shirts, an equal number of stockings, and other new articles of clothing in abundance, besides a dirk, a revolver, and a ship's ticket, Ahowing his in tention of making a trip to the diggings. Beyond this property, the officer had recovered 9/. of the prosecutor's money. — _ Mr. Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked, that the prosecutor was lucky after all, and asked the accused if he wished to say any thing. He said, " It's of no use to deny it," and was committed for trial. fh ß rao L r l ot a O h Re withOU show-roomsG having HTR e E f Em stolen T es . —e Messrs. s .

His wife was about to follow him, but was stopped at the South-East ern station, and taken tenintocustody. The wife was examined at this court the circumstance of her having times bu t witha _ diamond serpent bracelet, answerin v g in tfe descriptione of one of the missing articles in h er possession, was of jewellery, brought against her, and she was consequently dis charged. The prosecutors caused handbills, offering a reward for the apprehension of the prisoner and the _re covery of the jewellery, to be circulated here and' in Paris. Information of the prisoners residence in Paris having been obtained, app li ca tion was made to the Freud ' authorities for the apprehension of the prisoner. Some delay occurred in executing the warrant, and the prisOner apprehended by John Forrester, and brought was at last apprehen to this country. The prisoner was so disguised with hair, and his appeara nce was so altered since his resi dence in France , that was at first thou g ht the wron g person had i't b ee n apprehended, as his passpost did not agree with his appearance. M r . John Hunt, of the firm of Messrs. Hunt and os P ken jewellers, Bond-street, said --In the course of ~ , last year I saw the prisoner at our shop. He was then without beard, moustaches, or whiskers. The prisoner often came to the shop, and during that time I missed articles of jewellery. On taking stock I missed several rings. Two of these rings I afterwards saw at Messrs. Attenborough's, pawnbrokers, Newington-can seway. I afterwards ascertained that the prisoner had opened a banking account with the British Bank, and had paid in some 10/. notes, which were the produce of the two rings pawned at Messrs.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine: — "157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex [erienced b taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I y am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by Huse who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxyims, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered. but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand." - - . For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and ter ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

On the sth inst., died at Rome, in his 76th year, Chevalier Kestner, late Hanoverian Minister at the Pontifical Court. During a residence of more than 40 years in that city, he had justly become the favourite of the English residents and visitors. Although he never received the slightest remuneration from England, he had, even after the place of Hanoverian Minister at Rome was abolished in 1848, performed in the absence of an English resident all those acts of courtesy and kindness for which foreigners generally look to the re presentatives of their own Government. We are sure, therefore, that the intelligence of his death will find a response in many an English heart. Augustus Kestner is known to the English literary public by different essays on the fine arts, in particular by a small but highlyinstruc tive volume on painting, most ably translated by Sir Chas. Eastlake. Himself a distinguished draughtsman and a practised painter, he possessed a profound knowledge of the arts, both ancient and modern, and a keen sense of classical beauty, which had been sharpened to an almost instinctive tact. To him is owing, for the most part, the formation of the best collection of casts of antique gems —that , published by the Instituto Archeologico, of which he was,one -of the founders and distinguished function aries, and at the sittings of which he regularly presided for many years. He also poesessed a choice collection of works of art—Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, Roman — including medals, gems, cameos, bronzes, vases, and a considerable number of choice pictures of the historical Italian school, and engravings, which formed together the Museum Kestnerianum. He had all but finished an accurate catalogue of this museum, which, we believe, he has with a noble patriotism left to the University of his native country, the illustrious Georgia Augusta (Gottin gen), and which would do honour to any princely collection. As he delighted in drawing and painting, so he was not only an enthusiastic admirer of true music, but himself a composer. In short, he combined in his person a rare eminence in almost every branch of the fine arts, being at the same time an accomplished man of business, and well acquainted with the duties of his own profession, which he ennobled by sincerity, truthfulness, and unflinching moral courage. But his highest and rarest merit was his universal kindness and his faithful friendship, his childlike soul, his pure and spotless cha racter, and his enthusiasm for everything which elevates humanity and adorns society. As his whole life, so his death was placid. He received the intelligence that a cold, which seemed not to present any dangerous symp tom, had suddenly become fatal by a paralysis of the lungs, and left him only a few hours of earthly exist ence, with the faith of a Christian who lives in p eace with God and man, and with the fortitude of a truly philosophical and spiritual mind. He sent messages of love to his friends, spoke words of kindness to his de solate domestics and attendants, ordered his simple epi taph, took leave of all around him, fixed his mind upon eternity, and died without a struggle or a sigh. He leaves behind him ready to appear in print a volume of the highest interest for the history of one of the greatest men of genius of modern times, of Goethe the noble correspondence of the poet with Kestner's father in the years 1772 and 1773 (the period of Gotz and of Faust), before and after the marriage of Kestner with Lotte, the lovely original of that poetical creation, Werther's Lotte. This correspondence does as much honour to human nature in general as to the three prin cipal persons concerned in it in particular, and ought to have been published long since. Measures have been taken to secure an English translation of these precious relics, with such notes and illustrations as are absolutely necessary for their being understood by the present gene ration. Kestner's death leaves a blank in the European society of Rome ; the artists of all nations lose in him a faithful worshipper of genius ; the German artists in particular a generally revered and beloved father, who regretted the loss of his place only because it deprived him of the means of assisting them in the same measure as before. His friends all over the world lose in him the kindest and most devoted heart, for to them that heart belonged. —Times. ANOTHER ARRIVAL FROM THE DIGGINGE.—AboiIt 16 years ago a man named "Jack Jones," of Wells, was tried at the Somerset quarter sessions before Mr. Miles, for breaking into a barn in Back-lane, and stealing wheat. lie was sentenced to transportation for life. Strange to say, he reappeared in Wells, on Saturday last, to the astonishment of everybody, bringing a num ber of boxes and packages, with luggage, &c. He states that he was transported to New South Wales, where he served faithfully for seven years to a master, which made ' him free of the colony. Afterwards he engaged with a gentleman to go to Sydney, at regular wages and his food, and from thence he took a vessel for Port Philip, where he had a long illness. He then started for the diggings, and was amongst' the earliest arrivals there. Here he accumulated a large quantity of gold, and de termined to return to England with it, and reached London about a fortnight ago. He stayed a week in the metropolis, converted his gold into cash, and arrived in Wells on Saturday, where he found his wife and family all well. It is reported that he has brought home a large sum of money. It is remembered that, when the sentence was passed upon him, he told Mr. Miles publicly in court, that if he ever returned to his country he would bring him a monkey, and we understand that he has actually kept his word. PRINTING-OFFICES IN PARIS.—From a work recently published it appears that the number of printing-offices in Paris, including the Imperial-office ' those of the Ministry of Justice, the Mint (for the Post-office stamps), the Bank, and the principal journals, is 94, in which are emplyed 2,526 compositors, 743 press-men, 152 machine men, and 160 correctors. These numbers would be con siderably augmented if there were added the workmen which are in a manner dependent on printing, such as letter-founders, stereotypers, press and machine-makers, paper-makers, ink-makers, etc. The Imperial printing office alone employs 144 compositors, 193 press-men, 12 correctors, and 4 machine-men. There is only one other office which employ more than 3.00 compositors, SPIRIT OF TUE PUBLIC JOURNALS. RIGHTS OF AUTHORS. (From the Times.) The time has at length arrived when the legiti mate rights of authors who use the English lan guage in the composition of their works are about to be recognised on either sid e o f th e Atl an ti c . Th e solution of this question did not involve any great difficulty in theory or in detail ; it simply required a little exertion of common policy, common sense, and, above all, common honesty. We have never urged the matter with any great a ff ec t a ti o n of zeal, not because we did not sympathise with the victims of the fraud, but because we were profoundly con vinced of the inutility of remonstrance. We were well aware that a time must come, and it has come at last, when men of letters in the United States would feel the wholesale system of literary piracy tell against themselves with terrible effect. The statement may be permitted without involving any disparagement of those illustrious names which al ready adorn the literary Pantheon of the United States, but it was scarcely possible for American authors, when placed under commercial disadvan tage, to carry on a successful contest against their English contemporaries. Why should travellers on the railroads of the United States pay two dol lars for the productions even of Prescott, Bancroft, Bryan, or Washington Irving, when they could ' purchase for half or a quarter of the sum the works of Grote, Macaulay, Byron, or Dickens ? All that an American publisher required for his stock in trade consisted of a few reams of dirty paper, a few forms of bad type, and consummate disregard of the rights of authors. His MS. came to hand with out the delays or annoyance of negotiation—with out the expenditure of a single cent. We are, of course, fully aware of all the shifts to which authors .and owners of copyright have hapt recourse for the pro tection of their property, but all was go — long as the New York publishers chose to persist in their evil courses—in other words, so long as their acts received countenance from the Govern ment and population of the States, it was impossi ble for English authors or their assignees to stem the stream. The arguments in favour of the pirati cal act were just such as would find favour with the rough go-ahead population of a new country. In the first place, there was the feeling of spoiling the Amalekites, and of driving a sharp bargain, which was something. Then the question might be asked, why should they pay at the rate of one shilling a number for one of Mr. Dickens's monthly numbers, when one of their own publishers would serve them up a dirty reprint of the same matter at about one quarter of the cost ? How was the English author hurt because the American reader was benefitted 7 Why take science and literature out of the ordinary categories of commerce ? Poetry and breadstuffs, astronomy and molasses, are, after all, much the same thing in the eyes of a commer cial man. Or, even granting that English authors might in some degree not exactly be injured, but might not receive the same full measure of benefit as though they had enjoyed the run of the Ameri can markets,—what then ? The English might surely make reprisals on the literature of the United States, and so matters would get straight in the long run. Throughout the long and frequent dis cussions that have taken place upon this subject, we cannot call to mind that the disputants on the side of the Union have ever used arguments more pertinent than those mentioned above. They did not foresee that a time might come when the case would not simply be as though a Highland gentle man should filch his neighbour's trousers, and com placently invite him to reprisal. It has now as sumed other proportions. The poor man is setting up as a gentleman himself, and finds himself brought into competition with the possessors of in herited fortunes, who meet him at every turn upon his own ground, without any necessity for paying tax or quit-rent, or any other of the fiscal burdens against which he is called upon to contend. This, in point of fact, has been the result of what cannot be considered in any other light than as an act of great national dishonesty. The works of American authors have been smothered under the works of English authors in the American markets. The first could fix a price upon their productions —the second were as castaways upon the sea-board of the United States. Their property was in the hands of the " wreckers." They were without remedy or redress. But, not only did this whole sale system of piracy most injuriously affect the interests of living American authors, but it had a tendency to dwarf down the original literature of the United States to the most servile copyism, and to check the development of the national mind. If citizens of the great republic made up their minds to grow corn and smuggle science—to export cot ton and import literature—why, they must abide by the consequences of their own act. Growers of corn and exporters of cotton they must remain to the end of the chapter. No doubt they would drive a more thriving trade in the enumerated articles the more completely they rivetted their attention to the production of raw produce alone ; but if it was their wish to rise in the scale of nations—to rise as nations have risen which have given birth to great philosophers, and poets, and historians—then every measure which could encour age original thought and original taste—taste pure and racy of the soil—was worthy of their serious attention. Certainly the act of overlaying Ameri can genius by English genius was not a very wise measure in this direction. American literature has already paid a heavy penalty for this act of intellectual cowardice, not to say of moral turpitude. Take the essayists, and poets, and novelists of the United States powerful and exquisite as many of their co mpositions un doubtedly are, and see if their thought and diction do not run in English mould. We find in them, no doubt, many allusions to freedom, to the glory of their future, and so forth, which are the natural consequence of the extraordinary history and posi tion of their country ; but we do not find origi nality of thought as we find it in the literature of Germany, or France, or Italy, as compared with our own. Nor can we for a moment permit it to be be said that no such originality is to be looked for because American and English authors use the same language, study the same models, and are of a common descent. We reply, English literature at the Elizabethan era is one thing, English literature in the reign of Anne quite another. In the begin ning of the present century and throughout the Regency the literary productions ofthe period differ widely in sentiment and opinion from those of the present day. Now we have a right to expect that an author who is brought up the citizen of a re public should write in a different tone from the subject of a mixed monarchy ; and that a New York novelist should regard the world in a different point of view from his London contemporary. Illustrious, we repeat it, as are the names of the American authors which we have already cited, we tell them that they have not thrown off English swaddling-clothes. As English authors they might occupy a distinguished place in English literature, but they have not yet made proof of nationality. When that one work lately reached us which smacked so strongly of American feeling and opi nion, how it ran through Europe like wildfire ! Well, then, there is to be a treaty at last upon this subject, by which English and American authors are to enjoy equal privileges of copyright, respectively, in England and in the United States. It will be a bright spot in the histo r y o f th e l a t e Daniel Webster that his biographer will have to record, that nearly his last act before the illness which terminated fatally was the execution of that treaty. He and Mr. Crampton signed for their respective Governments. The treaty was trans mitted to England for approval, which it received as a matter of course, and has now been sent back to America, where it formally remain s once mor e under the consideration of Mr. Everett and Mr. Crampton. In point of fact, it does but await the ratification of the Senate, the body which, in America, is constitutionally charged with the duty of final sanction in such matters. We look for ward with the greatest satisfaction to the moment when the treaty will become law, not only because the measure will act most beneficially on the inte rests of English authors—for it is no light matter to enlargetheir public by a population of 25,000,000 which contains quite the English average of read ers—but because we are unfeignedly of opinion that the cause of literature and science--in other words, the cause of intellectual progress in the United States—will derive the greatest advantage from this tardy act of justice. We doubt not that as brilliant and glorious a destiny awaits the United States in these respects as in all others. Lot American authors feel assured that we shall be the first to glory in their success. CORPORATION OF LONDON. (From the Morning Herald.) When a few days ago we referred to the pro posal of the Times to incorporate the whole of this vast metropolis into one gigantic municipality — framed upon the model of the Municipal Corpora tion Act—we were, our readers may remember, disposed to treat the matter as a j es t. W e re garded, in truth, the proposition p n . s i n t es ui only as an excuse for giving currency to a little of that smart spitefulness which, for some unexplained reason, our contemporary indulges upon all occa sions against the municipal authorities of the City. We fancied we had arrived at the depth of the project when we found that it furnished an excuse for calling the City of London " the scandal and nuisance of the British metropolis," and for pro pounding the startling statement that, "to have anything to do with the City of London was a dis grace !" Nay, we believed the writer might have been tempted to the discussion of the plan by the opportunity of uttering the marvellous pleasantry that the City was " but five per cent. of London," a pleasantry which we cannot help thinking, oddly enough, betrayed the origin of the article. There is but little difficulty in guessing the sort of people who, even in their witticisms and civic speculations, can think of nothing but the "rate per cent." A second article in the columns of our contem porary, on Saturday, induces us to suspect that we may have dealt too lightly with this wild and mischievous project. The article is obviously in tended, although with commendable discretion it does not profess to be a reply to our former remarks. It not only reiterates the pro posal, but with an amazing recklessness of asser tion, declares that public opinion has already de termined that it shall be carried into efket ! Public opinion resolved that the corporation of London is to be destroyed, and all the district within three miles of St. Paul's constituted into a metropolitan corporation ! ! This certainly is startling intel ligence to those who, up to Thursday last, had never known that such a project was so much as thought of. On Saturday, our contemporary tells the corporation of the City that it isquite useless for them to entertain plans of self-reform. " The public care nothing for their mayor, their alder men, their bye-laws, their common council, their festivals, and their jobs." The only thing for the poor corporation is to-esti-drink* -and-be merry, - for their doom is inevitable and at hand. "It is not the reform, but the abolition of the corporation which public opinion requires, and a substitution in their place of a body representing, according to the regulations of one of the most successful pieces of modern legislation—the Municipal Reform Act —that vast mass of wealth, intelligence, and popu lation, which is to be found within threp miles of St. Paul's." The writer then proceeds to advocate the rights of the people of Chelsea, Southwark, Finsbury, and the Tower Hamlets, to form a por tion of a great metropolitan municipality, and winds up with an oracular announcement that the corporation of London is " to leave reform to those who have the power of carrying it out, and who are not for the first time awakening to its neces sity." Considering the demi-official character which sometimes attaches to statements in the Times, we protest we think that those interested in this mat ter have a right to be informed who are the per sons for whom the Government journalist vouches as " having the power " of effecting this change, " and not now for the first time awakened to its necessity." Are we to understand these words as an official intimation that this preposterous mis chief is really thought of by men in power, and that among the promised blessings which are in due time to issue from the Cabinet of contradictions, - we may reckon the scheme of destroying all the ancient rights of the citizens of London, and estab lishing upon their ruins a municipal nuisance in which the very refuse and scum of the lanes and alleys of this great metropolis may, under the pre tence of a corporation, lord it over its wealth, its intelligence, and its respectability. We will not go the length of saying that such a plan is as yet depo sited in any of the pigeon-holes of the office of Woods and Forests ; yet, when we remember the utter dependence of the present wretched Ministry upon that conspiracy of Jew brokers and money jobbers which the Times so faithfully serves—the only interest from which, through all its marvellous gyrations, it has never swerved, and when we re collect, moreover, that such a scheme would pro bably belong to that department which is presided over by that walking impersonation of all crude and radical theories, who represents the respectable borough of Southwark, we feel bound to call the serious attention, not only of those intrusted with the defence of the privileges of the City, but of all the dwellers " within three miles round St. Paul's," to a plan which, in spite of its palpable absurdity, we can no longer say is not seriously threatened. We say nothing at present of the wisdom and justice of the coolly-proposed destruction of the ancient and immemorial rights which belong to the citizens of London. Bold, indeed, will be the man whd will proposed by a summary act of confiscation to deal with all the various and complicated inte rests and properties which are bound up in the aggregate that forms the municipality of that City. But let us ask, in the name of Heaven, what offence has been committed by the peaceful inhabitants of the thousands of streets and squares in which men now dwell at their ease, that they are to be cursed with incorporation into all the turmoil and vexa tion of a democratic municipality, regulated upon the model of the Reform Act ? Let us imagine, if we can, the whole district extending three miles in every direction from St. Paul's—let us imagine, we say, this district, with all its various classes and kinds of population, divided, it may be, into some thirty or fifty wards, the 10/. householders of each ward electing their quota of representatives to a monster common council, and that common council affecting to represent the opinions of the metropolis, and more than this, appointing its magistrates, en acting its bye-laws, and levying its taxes over every street and square within the limits we have men tioned. Feebly and inadequately it expresses the monstrosity of such a proceeding to say that it would constitute Shoreditch the ruler of Belgravia, and make Whitechapel and St. Giles's give laws to Port man-square. Even if its vast extent did not forbid it to apply it to a metropolis like London, the principle of a municipal act would be at once an absurdity and an injustice. The seat of Government, the Legis lature, and the courts of law must of necessity attract or compel a class of residents who never ought to be treated as fit objects for such a munici pality as is fairly established in provincial towns. The country gentleman or the nobleman whose Par liamentary duties, or the attractions of the Court, induce him to take a residence in London, ought not, therefore, to be seized on and compelled to be a burgess by virtue of a citizenship such as this. The professional man ought not to be subjected to the control of a municipality with which he has no feeling and no pursuit in common. Could the pro ject be carried there would be wards at one end of the City composed of districts of the very existence of which the burgesses at the other end had never heard. So far from there being unity of interest or sympathy of feeling, it would not be possible to name two towns in the same country so utterly separate and dissimilar as are the districts round the Tower and Belgrave-square. The project of uniting them in one system of municipal govern ment is too absurd to be seriously discussed. This is not all. The perverse ingenuity of man could not devise a more intolerable nuisance than such a corporation, were it possible to construct it, would be sure to prove. In two-thirds of the wards into which it would be possible to divide the metropolis the very lowest class of householders would bear absolute sway. Too unwieldy for every thing but mischief, such a body could not even attempt to discharge any one municipal function except by dividing itself into local sections, each of which would contain the concentrated essence of those "nests of robbers," as the Times has, with more truth than politeness, designated our Radical vestries. In its united capacity it would reserve itself for political follies on a grand scale, and those gigantic jobberies, the anticipated plunder of which has probably recommended the scheme to those gentlemen who are thinking of the rate per cent. We feel as if we have wasted time in seriously discussing this subject. We may, perhaps, expect the project of the great metropolitan corporation to be brought forward along with one to re-enact the Heptarchy, and establish over England seven kingdoms tributary to the Crown. The one pro posal we believe to be about as rational and as probable as the other. Nevertheless, when it is gravely put forward by an authority like the Times, and put forward, too, with a not very equivocal hint, that those who have the power to pass it aro ready to adopt this most absurd and revolutionary project—it may not be amiss that, once for all, we should hold up its folly and its wickedness to pub lic ridicule and contempt. TITF. JEW BILL. ( From the Weekly Dispatch.) We think we have made a discovery—which is not an invention. Our contemporary, the Morning Advertiser, who is somewhat clever at detecting mare's nests, or imparting to its readers important intelligence, from what it calls "exclusive sources" —the said intelligence generally turning out to be a bottle of smoke—our respectable friend, we ob serve, announces that Mr. Disraeli has resigned the leadership of the Opposition, and that he is to make fcrsial daolantion to that effect after Easter. f
