The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance Company of London, is particularly called to the Malf-credit Scales Of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de clared at the neat investigation of the Equitable Assurance Cons- Pany's affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual payment of one-half the rates generally charged by other comps ides. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduc tion of the other half of the rates. Should the life inflated survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may he allowed to lapse, and the Company will reisounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon ; or in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age as when first accepted._ The above plea, originating with this Com pany, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division of profits In the Equitable Assuratiee•Company, in 1840, when it was largely Adopted, anct many of the .pplicies then effected are still In force, and large bonuses have been added to them en the scale of the fol lowing table : Sum Assured.

PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 22.—The Undine, a very Pretty iron o saearnedthere mpsutteaatioenrs, arrivedofbeeg last are nighti:nark- hhas the Channel among purchased by the Admiralty) to act, a s we are steamer, bh layll g fast h i been n e r informed, as a tender pro tern. to the royal yacht for the oc casional use of her Majesty and the Prince Consort in their visits to Osborne House, as both the Victoria and Albert and the Fairy are hors de combat at present. This e iv. s truth to the rumour that her Maj. ,t y, the I'm ‘,. and the Royal Family, intend I st . , ig a vi-i tn, Wight this week—it is said on Saturday. 'I 1w Unditte has the appearance of a fast vessel, and it is not much unlike the Fairy, excepting that she is propelled by paddles instead of a screw, and that her masts and funnel have no rake. The Echo embarked the depot companies cf the 56th Regit' meat from Clarence yard this morning for Parkhurst bar racks, Isle of Wight. As there are not any men-of.war of small tonnage at this port which can be made available to carry meal to Ireshiod, the Admiralty have ordered the hire of vessels for the pur pose, and Mr. Davis, the Master Attendant of the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment, has been endeavouring, both here and at Southampton, to take up tonnage of small capable of stowing some thousands of bags of meal for conveyance to Ireland. One vessel is to proceed to Clifden, county of Galway, as soon as loaded, and another to Kingstown, Dublin, in charge of Government officers. The Dauntless screw steam-frigate is shipping stores for her crew, and loading with meal, of which she will take up wards of 300 tons, for Tobermory, in Scotland. She sails immediately she is laden. A small vessel is to be hired to accompany her, loaded also with meal, which she will dis tribute on the small islands in the Hebrides and Orkneys, under the directions of the commissioner. The greatest activity continues to prevail in the Clarence-yard in grind ing corn for Ireland. The men work night and day. They are alqo completing a demand for a supply of biscuit for 25,000 men. A contract was taken on Thursday last at the above es tablishment for 50 ,, quarters of barley, at 535. 10d. per quarter; and a contract for 500 sacks of biscuit meal, at 52e. 10d. per sack; also 50 0 sacks of whole wheat meal was taken at a 'aiyate.tender at 495. sack—all foi.• immediate delivery. The Dol An, 3, Lieutenant-Commander 'Miller, remains at Spithead for orders. The gallant 'and benevolent Commander. in-Chief at this . port, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart.; is now supplying a great number of poor and aged people with excellent soup, from the dockyard, three days per week—a noble example we should like to see followed by other officers similarly circumstanced. An incalculable amount of real good must result. The Wanderer was at the' Pongas, not "Lagos," on the 15th of December. PLYMOUTII, FEB. 20.—Her Majesty's troop-ship Belleisle Captain Kingcombe, came in last night from Portsmouth, with the 56th Regiment, bound to Gibraltar. A case of ty phus fever having occurred among the troops, Captain King combe put the ship under quarantine on arrival. This morning she was visited by the medical officers, under whose orders the patient, a private, was removed to the Royal Military Hospital at Stoke. The case is pronounced a mild one. The Belleisle has been relieved from quarantine, and she will proceed to sea the first opportunity. Wind South, with occasional showers. The French fishing-lugger Jaques, Captain Roger, belong ing to Dieppe, was this morning seized by Mr. Potbury, tide surveyor, who discovered 801 b. of manufactured tobacco concealed on board. The master and three hands are im prisoned at the police-station. The vessel came here under the pretence of purchasing mackerel. Woomvicu, E. 22.—The Odin steam-frigate, Captain Williams, having had her compasses adjusted at Greenhithe, by Captain Johnson, left that place yesterday morning with meal and other provisions for Ireland. The Terrible steam-frigate being at present in the basin at Woolwich Dockyard, a number of naval officers and persons connected with ship-building have availed themselves of the opportunity of visiting her. There are now in this dockyard two of the finest specimens of naval architecture in the world—the Terrible, the most efficient war-steamer in her Majesty's service, and the Royal Albert, rated 120 guns, but pierced for and can mount 130. She is advancing in her building, tied combines a beautiful form with very superior strength, her timbers being put together in a peculiar mode, never previously adopted by any other naval archi, teet than her designer. The strength and capa bilities of the Terrible steam-frigate have been well tried in all kinds of weather and in gales of wind, both steam ing and sailing, and under canvass without. steam. In steaming, using only two boilers, or half her power, she has beaten the fastest of her Majesty's war steamers with their full power. She is so atesdy and extraordinarily easy in a heavy sea, that she has Deter had occasion to have 'anything secured on board in the most violent gales, and her constiinp tion of coal is less in proportion than any smaller steamer that has attempted to compete with her. When in company with the Retribution , which vessel has only one deck of gnus, but is of the same number of horse-power as the Terrible, while the latter had. t*o gun decks and double the quantity of powder, shot, and shells, with 150 tons of coals on.board more than her competitor, she beat the Retribution under these circumstances with a consumption of 10 tons of coals. less each day of the trial. The towing qualities sa.:. the Terrible were fully tested when she towed the Hibernia, first.rate of 104 guns, faster than that vessel had ever sailed, and under various changes and different ways, tow ing her six, eight, and sometimes ten knots per hour. The Terrible is now, after twelve months' work, perfect in appear ance, and continues as firm as the day she was launched from the stocks. oreruxzw.

THE FEVER AT SIERRA•LEONE.—Letters from Sierra Leone up to the 26th of December have been received, reporting that the fever prevailed to such an extent in her Majesty's sloop Wanderer, that she was kept at anchor there, and had been placed i• 1 quarantine. Up to the above day she had lost Lieutenant W. H. Warlters and nine of the crew, and had 21 sick in their cots. The Contest, 12, had gone i 0 the Wanderer with previsions, and having had commnnicar tion with her, it was deemed advisable that she should also be placed in quarantine. The officers and crew of the Wanderer were anxiously looking for the arrival of Com modore Sir Charles Llotham, in the Devastation, who would either order the brig to Ascension or to England, to en deavour to stop the fever from spreading. Sir Charles Hotham left Ascension on the 26th of December, for Siam Leone. ANOTHEAMANIAC . 11AILWAY TRAVELLER. The rapidity of locor lotion peculiar to railway travelling would really appear to have a most extradrdinary effect on the minds of some risen, if one may jatige from the strarge oocarrerces every now and then taking plat% - on the principal lines of railway. It is only a few weeks since that the pub- . ho were 'riled by an account of a * gentleman who, after threaten: o to . murder his cOmpani‘n in a first-class carriage on the Neqh-Western Railway, leaped from the train, and by a miracle escaped with only a few slight bruises. The day before yesterday an iacide't of a s^mewhat similar cha racter occulted on the South-Eastern Railway. A perann of respectable appearance, whose name has since been ascer tained to be Scott, booked himself at the Folkest"ne station of this line by a third class train for London. Daring the progress of the train his manner attracted the observation of some of his fellow passengers, but it was not until their ar rival at the Godstone road station that anything of a serious character occurred. On reaching this place, however, Mr. Scott exhibited an extraordinary degree of excitement, and gcaelmlinwgeraleoautdtefinurptaisangiattoancseta,bdehcilamredwitthhatthheisirfdklnoiwve-sp.asserrnhe phreesz°n insisted that en if get tingth guard etHi .aenhoawud e te n s t r( !ef:nvhecoaleuycri carriage. romni t a o eogts o a ie o p . n p w e t iT h a h e s en e n d u m nf r o . r sc tuna ut te b m urs au t o w p o e u n ld th r e em e a a i r u . h er im the btl im t quiescent, the guard gave the signal to the driver to proceed. r!age door, end jumping on to the platform, bounded over the hedge into an adjoining field, across which he ran at full dead. The guard observing all that had occutoed, imme diately stopped the train, and giving chace, came up with the poor fellow in a few moments. Partly by persuasion and partly by force, he induced him to return, and having placed him m a second-class carriage, under the care of a porter and twe of the passengers, wh > kindly offered to undertake the disagreeable duty, the train again proceeded. After the train was in motion Mr. Scott's -excitement increased, and notwithstanding the utmost precautions he cont rived to forte his head and shoulders through : the win dow of the carria g e, smashing the glass and frame to pieces, and being with great difficulty prevented from precipitating himself cut of the carriage. On arrivirg at London Bridge he was consigned to the care of the police , w ho conveyed him to Southwark Police-coUrt. Mr. Pulsford attended on the part of the com pony, and by desire of Mr. Macgregcr, the chairmen of the board on the mo3;strate undertaking t 3 see that the untortu nate man wet restored to the care of his friends, expressed the desire of the directors to take no further proceeding in the matter.

JOHN'S in the Chair. After a letter from Lord Powis, in reply to one from the Master of St. John's, written after ,the raeetiag of the Heads of House', held on Monday last, had been read to the meeting, It was resolved unanimously,—That the best thanks of this meeting are due to Lord Pow•is for his ready acquiescence in the wish that he should become a candidate for the office of Chancellor of this University, and that this Pteiiting pledges itself to use its utmost efforts to promote his election. Feb. 18,1847. r r illE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the JL ELECTION of the EARL OF FOWIS to the Chancellorship of the University of Cambridge beg to submit the following STATE MENT to the Members of the Senate: — When by the lamented death of the late Chancellor it became ne • cessary to consider the appointment of a successor, it was deemed desirable to bring forward such a candidate as might be sapposed to be most acceptable to the general body of the Senate, and to repre sent the opinions of the majority of its members. The interestwhich the Earl of Yowls had uniformly displayed in all that concerns the University, and the acquaintance which by his education and subsequent connexion with it he had maintained with our academic institutions—the independence of his character and position—the zeal and energy which he has exhibited in forwarding the interests of the Church, and his able and effectual support of her claims, naturally directed the attention of many members of the Uni versity to this nobleman, and steps were immediately taken to obtain his Lordship's consent to be put in nomination for the high office of Chancellor. The Earl of Fowls at once acceded to the request, and the favour able tiliiiner hi - which his Lordship's name has been received assures this ecundittee that the same considerations which led to the lint in vitation to . Lord Fowls will secure the warm and hearty support of all Who feel how important it is to the University that their Chancel lor should possess these qualities for which the Earl of Fowls is so eminently distinguished. The ELECTION will take place in the Senate House, on THURS DAY, Feb. 25. at Ten o'clock A.H. The Committee trust that the non-resident members of the Senate will he prepared to give their votes for Lord Pawls, in case of an opposition. Arrangements will be made for the accommodation and convey. ance of non-resident voters. The Committee sit daily, at Mr. Elliott Smith's Rooms, Trinity street.

THE NAVIGATION L4LWS. _ - The Select Commie t..e, appointed to inquire into the ope ration of the nc.vii;ati, J 1 laws, met ye.:terday for the first time. The relic wing members tempo3e.the Committee : Sir IZ. Peel, Mr. M. Gibson, Vice-lire , ide ,, t of the Beard of Trade, Mr. Ricardo, Sir 11. Douglas.. Mr. Alderman Thomp• son, Mr. C. P. - Villiers, Mr. Liddell, Sir =G. Clerk, Mr. Mitchell, Admiral Duntlas, Mr. Lyall, Mr. M'Carthy, Mr. T. Baring,. Mr. Nome, and Mr. Bright. Mr. ..Irme moved, and Mr. RICARDO seconded ? .that'Sir R. Peel be appointed the chairman of the Committee. Sir R. PEEL respectfully declined acting as claai, man. He thought it would be much more advisable for the CoMmittee to elect as their chairman Mr. M. Gibson, the Vice-Piesident of the Board of Trade, whose position as a member of the Government would give him a greater command over sources of information relative to the subject matter of their inquiry than m y other member of the Committee could have. Be sides, supposing that their inquiries should result in a Bill being brought before Parliament, there would be a greater likelihood of its being carried into a law if brought under notice of the House by a member t the Government, who would possess greater facilities for legislation than any private Member of the Committee could possibly have. Mr. M. GIBBON was eventually aprinted the Chairman, and the Hon. Member having taken the chair, Mr. lIUMZ asked Mr. Ricardo, as the mover for the Com mittee, what course the latter proposed to take with reference to the inquiries of the Committee? Mr. RICARDO said, he proposed, in the first instance, to call witnesses to explain to the committee clearly what the law was at that moment, and how far, and in what manner, it affected the maritime affairs of the country. It would be necessary, also, that they should know what particular Acta affected the navigation law itself, and how far that naviga tion law was relaxed or modified by other laws now in exist ence. He thought that nobody was so able to inform the committee on these points as Mr. Lefevre, of the Board of Trade, and he (Mr. Ricardo) proposed to call him in the first instance. Afterwards, he proposed that they 'should inquire into the effect of the law upon the mercantile trans actions of this country, and also as to its operation upon the colonies. A member of the Committee suggested that they should examine persons that could give them most accurate infor mation or. the navigation laws of other commercial states in the world, and particularly as to what modification they might have undergcne since the relaxations of the restric tions which had taken place in those of this ceantry. Mr. Ricaano said, he had moved for an ab:tract of the maritime regulations of the various countries, but that re turn was of so voluminous a nature that it had not yet been completed. Sir R. PZEL suggested that a short summat f of the laws at present in force in the various other continental states might be procured from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Mr. LIDDELL thought it would be convenient to con sider some sort of classification of the heads of inquiry, by which meet's the k.ttention of the conrnittee might. be ni recLed to ascertain the specific operation, under each head, of the laws w hi c h, i n t h e - estiniation of ? the Hon. Member who had moved for the con . m , ittee, might be most suscep tible of alteration fir the benefit of the country, such, for instance, as those relating to the coasting trade and the fishery trade. Mr. BRIGHT said there were two classes of persons in the country interested in the navigation-law, one class support ing it on acc , unt of the commercial protection which it afforded, and the other on acc.unt of its haviog reference to the defence of the country. He thought the two were equally deserving of attention. Sir l PEEL thought it would be advisable for them to ask Mr. Lefevre to prepare himself for an examine `inn as to the changes which the navigation-laws relating to this country had undergone ; and then to examine Mr. M'Gregor as to what were the navigation laws of other state:. The wasting trade and the colonial trade were questions very much mixed up together.
