For example, it. is not to every individtta or to every, class amongst the industrious community, thet prov slot in case of sicknese is an object of such importance as to call for a Pecuniary sacrifice ; whi'e to otlievi such a provision appears more attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness is a risk against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state of things there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, butteaa of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more con tingent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. ,_lt is to not having otist - rved this rule, and to the association of wo dissimilar functions. and by confounding a sick allowance and Si annuity toad in one and the sell-same payMent, that much of the evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst lie. erirSocleties. lco mechanisat can be so perfect for the management of a sick - tess-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso ciation and watchtniness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check Is mutually exercised, and Wnohneebu t the really s i c k are lik e ly to become chargeable upon 'it.ues But the s ame perfection, or the ea sesurity, is seldom attainable re a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where result s ar e t o bear our calculations, money investnient being in general beyond the experience of the industrious classes. For these reasons it is clear that the funds destined tor a provision in. sic kness should be kept entirely distiuct trona the Lind intended as a Provision for o'd age:— lot Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently ecnni cled, do not depend on the same calculation. • 2cl. Because there are a great number who, .in order to secure a larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing for Probable sickness on themselves. sa. Because the respell:4l°llV of managing a provision for old age, continued to a distant period is, hi a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and indivAual irre aPonsibillty, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of such a contract , that when undertaken on the same prieciple.s that ordinarily govern commercial bodie.. 4th. Because the expenses of providing Air sickness must, when united in the same payment with provision for old age, tespt ter dimi nish still more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy ; to en danger the one for the sake or the other. c I mpressed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge thti""l"s passing withi n t h e b osom of many of the existing Friendly and Benefit *ecieties, the parties whose names are here unto attached, have hats sever ni tig or adopting a reniedeXT.

(From - the CirCular of Messrs,- ,Greenhow, and Irving.) - • • MANCUESIRR, APRIL 30.—Corn, Cotton, and Currency have, through their influences separately and collectively, rendered this month one of an indescribably unsatisfactory character. Alternate hopes and fears, from its commence ment. to the close, have been the predominant characteristics. At the date of our last circular we noticed the existence of a marked improvement in the position of the market ge nerally; and felt strongly impressed with a belief that such would continue, provided our apprehensions with respect to the money niarket were not realised. The amendment was of short dUration, continuing only for a few days, and until the threatening aspect of monetary affairs induced a compa rative suspension of operations. Purchases, however, conti nued to be made, at gradually improving rates, in both cloth and twist, up to the arrival of the Hibernia on the 15th, with diminished estimates of the Cotton crop. The alleged defi ciency, though merely based upon the falling off m the re ceipts at. the American ports, as compared with those,at the corresponding period of last year, had the immediate effect of originating an extensive speculative: movement, and of enhan- ing the value of the article in the port of Liverpool about id. to id. per lb. The advance thus noted was in stantly followed by a demand on the part of spinners and ma nufacturers for higher rates by many, whilst some withdrevi t be-- ir stocks f from the market, and declined even to quote prices. Notwithstanding the position of money matters, a fair amount of business would have been done at this period if previons rates had been accepted. The extreme advane,t demanded has in few, if in any, insta_nces been rea ! Used in some, however, as will be seen from the details given, higher prices have been and continue to be paid. Such is a brief summary of the state of the market during the first three weeks of the month. Since then, from the in creased scarcity in the money market, and the great difficulty in obtaining discounts even at the excessive rates demanded, we may be said to have witnessed a total suspension of transactions ; purchases for passing wants having constituted the only operations. This state of things has necessarily caused a further and material diminution of the production, which cannot now be more than one-half of what it would be, were all the mills working full time. The distress and suffering, consequent upon the want of employment amongst the operatives, is assuming a painful and serious character. With the ia ereasing &limes." of the actual necessaries of life, it is not j .Speedy . Whange for the better take place. The increase Of . local burdens would prove inadequate. Prices, which are generally higher than they were a month ago, are, under all the adverse circumstances, sus t a i ne d w i th remarkable firmness. This is no doubt attributable to the diminished and diminishing productions of cloth and yarns, and to the comparative lightness of stocks. Were we to ex perience any relaxation from the money pressure, or could feel satisfied that the severity arising from it had passed away, an improvement in the value of nearly all the staple articles would follow for a time. There are unquestionably heavy orders in the market awaiting execution, and which would be placed were the facilities for liquidation available, and the probabilities as to the future range of prices deter mined. Money will, we think, continue dear for some time, at least until something approaching t , ) a conclusive opinion can be formed, in a favourable light, as to the coining harvest. Our accounts from the United States continue to represent matters most favourably as to British manufactures, and lead us to expect that the orders from thence will be large. Those by the last steamer were to a considerable extent. Embrac ing as they do such a variety, orders in this quarter tail in producing such an effect as those from India and China do upon this market—briefly, they don't tell. The country trade was seldom or never known to be so bad at this season of the year, a matter not to be won dered at, looking to the dearness of provisions and the de pressed state of the manufacturing districts. Considering the extent of the depression, which has cha racterised this district, it is, amidst so much that is amiss, gratifying.to observe the freedom, hitherto, from insolvency amongst the manufacturing interests. Unlike former periods of adversity, the present has so far passed away compara tively harmless—a tesult no doubt owing to the adoption and exercise of sounder principles, and to the success attendant upon beneficial operations during the year. IRELAND. THE LORD LIEUTENANT'S HEALTH. DUBLIN, Aram 29.—Little or no change has taken place since five o'clock yesterday evening —th e symptoms remain ing pretty much the same all through last night. The bulletin of this morning was to the effect that his Excellency had passed a tranquil night 7 -that his breathing was rather freer, but that in other respects there was no amendment. Up to five o'clock this afternoon no fresh bulletin was issued, and the answer given to inquiries was that there was no material change. THE NEW POTATOE CROP. • _ _ After all the sanguine anticipations to the contrary, it ilum been discovered, in one case at least, that the old peatilince has shown itself in the crop of this year, and that, too, at an earlier period than last season, when the gni fatal symptoms were not generally developed till the middle of May. A Mr. F. A. Jackson, of Mane Roscrea, this writes to the King's 'County Chronicle : " It may be in your recollection that I sent you a state ment last May, which you published in your newspaper, of my early potatoes being diseased. It was the first public twice of the appearance of the disease in this district, and many of our neighbours were incredulous of the subject, and disregarded the warning. lam sorry to -be obliged to have the same story to tell again this year. The fatal spots have again appeared within the last few days on my early crop, which have now attained their full height, and are nearly fit to dig. They are unmistakably infected with the potato murrain of the last two yt ars, and about a fortnight earlier than they were last year. Whether the same is to be the fate of the general crop, SO and sowing, this year, no man can say, but it looks bad." There is, unfortunately, - 1;t too much reason to believe that a much greater breadth of potatoes has been planted this season than could have been anticipated, after the warn ings afforded in the disas:rous failures of the two preceding years. It may be said that it is not the poor farmer or cot tier tenant that has thus rashly ventured upon the danger ous experiment, but that it has been done at the risk of the thriving holder of many acres, who la able and willing to abide the chances of success or failure. This in any other country might have been all very well ; but supposin g t h at the blight should be a th i r d t i me univers..l—by no means an Improbable event—how much better would it h ave been that the acres devoted to the cul tivation of the potato should have been laid down with grain or green crops —ea consideration of some importance when, according to a current estimate, about one-third of the average crop of potatoes has been planted this year. SPRICAD OF FEVER. The number of patients in the fever hospital attached to the workhouse of Belfast amounted on Saturday last to 440 individuals; since that period the number has increased to 513. The Evening Post contain, the following communication from the Vati can, addressed to the Most Rev. Archbishop Murray : " Venerable Brother,—Health and Apostolical benediction. " It is sufficiently known to you, Venerable Brother, that the present calamities of Ireland have filled our heart with affliction, and excited our solicitude to relieve your suffering country. "Accompanying this letter you will receive a new proof of our affecti on t owards the Irish people, in the copy of our Encyclical letter, addressed to the entire Catholic world, appointing prayers to be everywhere poured forth for the purpose of imploring the Divine assistance for Ireland, and recommending the faithful to contribute by their charitable donations towards the succour of the Irish people. The in tensity of your sufferings , and our paternal feelings towards demanded so much at our hands. " For your greater consolation we deem it right to add, that we ourselves, es pecially in the oblation of the Divine Sacrifice, will not fail most earnestly to implore God, who is rich in mercy, to look down from Heaven, and to behold, and to visit benignly, his own vineyard, so that grief and sorrow might be succeeded in Ireland by gladness and joy, and that circumstances would bring about a favourable result to those measures which her Most Serene Majesty the (due n h.d graci.,usly designed for the good of that kingdom. To elect this purpose with facility, and without delay, you are aware, Venerable Brother, that nothing can be of greater advantage to your country than that both clergy and people should unite in promoting public concord, and strictly regulate their lives accord ing to the laws of our Lind Jesus t..hrist, and of the Catholic Church. " We know with certainty, that you, Venerable Brother, and the other Bishops of your province, have hitherto used ad diligence in this matter. and we feel persuaded you will continue to do CU for the future. •‘ In the meantime, we impart to you most affectionately front our heart our Apostolical benedict: '• Given in It e, at St. Mary hlafOr's, in the first year of our Pontificate, on the 10th of April, in the year of our Lord, 1847.

Between the hours of one and two o'clock T esterday after noon, a fire of a m os t devastating description, involving a serious loss of property, broke out in the town ofDiss, twelve miles distant, and so fearful were its ravages that at one period the entire destruction of the place was apprehended. It originated in a carpenter's workshop, in the principal or High-street, through some of the workpeople :burningo of a quantity of shavi ngs , a n d th e fire blazing up th e was the chimney -pot, it communicated to the roof, w hi ch y thatched. Strenuous efforts were made by the inhabitants to stay its progress at this early stage, but owing to the high wind which prevailed, and the combustible character of the building, the dames travelled with astounding rapidity over the erection, and extended to a row of new houses, which ad joined the flaming property on either side. These belonged to a Mr. Dyson and Mr. Finchman, and were occupied by tradesmen. In vain were attempts made to tear off the roofs, with a view of arresting the conflagration. The flame raged from house to house, and in less than an hour after the alarm was given, no fewer than ten of them had fallen a sacrifice to the devouring element, producing, conceived, the greatest co ns t ernat i on in the to w n . as The may be gines stationed in th e neighbourhood wer,energetica e l a l; brought into operation, and by being worked in commandin g positions, certainly had the effect of rescuin g much property from destruction. F or hours, however, t he very alarming man ner, and it was only by a fl c a o m m es inu rag al e s d up i p n ly a y of water that th ey were kept at bay. The owners of the buildings destroyed are said to be partially in s u re d, b u t th e unfortunate oc cup i ers will be eat sufferers.

The Select Committee b ppoutcd by the House of Coinmons to inqUire into the operation of the Navigation Laws met on Thursday, in the C,:mmittce room No. 2. There were present Mr. Milner Gibson, chairman. Hon. Mr. Liddell, Sir Howard Douglas, Sir George Clerk, Admiral Dundas, Mr. Bright, Mr. Lyall, and Sir Robert Peel. • —The first witness called to-day was Mr. Geer e Hough ton, who, i n the absence of Mr. Ricardo g from indispo sition, Was exatnin;d by the Chairman. a . irin s a la n n . ds, H w e he w r as e a merchant tradi ng with the he e E nt igia T ut h i e we p r r e incl Canary Island s t tu o had an esta blish ment. wineal ex ports t c c h o i f n e t l h There was former' years it had' almost formerly export h of barilla, but of late There was also a considerable trade from these to America, the principal exports ar that cour;re} s b al. eing wine and barilla. The Navigation Laws of this trade in cochineal very much _,,ideerntry interrupted ,the - d - --excessivel • so. Up to s rreent pt-rind the cochineal 1;:.d not 3 h, of very great importance, but it bad increased, till it en waa at preFent tit rery great stet; Lea ar they had eX pried from 1,501) to 2,000 , erunt,, wtoch weighed from .120 lbs. to 150 ins. e ach. The cochineal was an insect diet fed upon the cactus plant, and e /rich, a s t h e c om _ value° was aware, inapAted a very brilliant dl e. 'The trade rf he Canaries in this article began seven or eight, or perhaps ten, years ago; but he might mention that as tar back as thirty 3 ear, sieve he had b.en anxious to in trotiece the cultivation ut the instct in the Canaries, but his etfor is then ea re disceurag , d. The chief supply of cochineal to Eirgiarid was Ervin Honduras. In conse quence of the cessation of ;he harilta trade between this country and the Canary Islands there were scarcely any English vessels now ari ivir g there to return direct home, in consequence of ahich the cochineal was shipped first to Cadiz, fritni whence it was taken to Mar seilles. Latterly the witness had eudeavourtd to bring some of it to England from Cadiz, but it was SeiZA in cineequence of this being in contravention of that pro vision in the Navigation Laws which provided that-the produce of Asia, Africa, and America, could not be brought from sissy port in Europe to this country in any ship whatever. He made many representations to the Board of Trade rezpectirig the injurious nature of this regulation, but it was all in vain ; be was hot allowed to bring it from Cadiz to this country, except in bond,• for purposes of re• exp station. In his representations. and memorials-to the Board of Trade he urged upon their consideration the tact that virtually the Canary Islinds were a port of Spain, and that the trade between them and Cadiz was as much in the nature of a coasting trade as was the trade betwt en this country and Ireland; but his representations had no effect, the rigid nature of the expressions in the law. were too a tivng Aar - - ineretturct - import:, tionnotOolthibeal into • Pranet' b taiga" to a greatly increased trade between France and the Canary Islanche With regard to the barilla trade with America, the American Navigation Lama prevented the barilla irom being carried to the United States; and the witness had therefore been compelled to have Swedish, Russian, Prussian, American, and one or two Sardinian vessels to export barilla to New York; and, as a neces sary consequence of this exportation of barilla, the trade of America with the Canary Islands had very much increased. The Chairman—But are not the American Navigation Laws the same as our ow•n? Mr. Houghton—As nearly as possible. The Chairman—Then ho w are th e s hip s y ou men tion permitted co enter the American pens with goods not the produce of their own countries ? Mr. Houghton, in answer to this, handed in a copy of thre American tariff, from which it appeared that ships of the nations he specified had the privilege, by treaty, of entering the American ports as free as Ame rican chips themselves. Examination continued There was still a good deal of cochineal imported into England. The duties' that were levied by Spain on goods brought into the Canary Islands by English vessels were very heavy. The consequeree of which was that scarcely any English vessds now went there ; while, on the other hand, cochineal, though a valuable 'cargo, , yet went into so small a compass that it was not worth the while of a Spanish ship to come here with it; and this raised the freight very much, which averaged from 555. to 60s. per ton. When it was brought dirt ct to this country it was brought by those Spanish vessels that arrived here to go .back with a cargo of English goods. He was aware that there had been an exclusive privilege granted to the importation of cochineal about twenty years ago, when the trade .was very small; but that was altogether with drawn sow. He had n, ver received any relief mom the Treasury, though he had often tried hard for it. This 3 - ear he had been a sufferer trona these restrictions to a vc ry great extent. Ile held 300 or 400 bags of that article, which he could only sell for what it would fetch; and, perhaps, the Committee would allow him tAi add that the Canary Wand article was very superior indeed. Sir G. Clerk—What is the proportion of the whole aminnt 0. cochineal imported into this country that is re-exported? Mr. Houghton—Oh, a considerable proportion; per haps to the extent of one. half. Sir G. Clerk—then, bow are you injured by being obliged to re export yours? Mr. Houghton—Why, as you know, there are secrets in all trades, and I can only say that the restrictions make a difference to me of trom 4d. to 6d. per lb. Mr. Liddell —But it seems to me that the inconve' niences of which you complain arise from the anomaiouE, position oc the Canary Islands, that geographically they are in Africa, while politically they are in Spain? Mr. Houghton--Yes. Admiral bundas—Do the duties imposed by Stain obi goods brought in British bottoms interfere with your traete? Mr. Houyhton—Yes, to a consijerable extent. Admiral Dundss— What is the amount of those duties? Mr. Houghton—The duties on British manufactures, when brought in British 1 esi‘ls, amount to 25 per cent. Admiral Dundas—And what are the duties on the same gooc:s when brought in Spanish vessels? Mr. Houghton-12i per cent. Admiral Dundas—Then how do the English ships gd that export the wine? Mr. Houghton—They go there chiefly in ballast. Mr. Houghton—Then, if you had the power of bring.- ing your cochineal from Cadiz to England in an English ship— Mr. Houghton—That is all we want. Admiral Dundas—How much cochineal rnry there be produced in the whole of the Canary Islands ? Mr. Houghton-oh, not much, a: it goes into such it small compass ; the whole produce would not load one ship in the course of the year. Admiral Dundas—Could you not send a ship for cochineal and till up the rest with wine ? Mr. Houghton expressed his dissent. Admiral Dundus—l don't think you hare much reason to complain. _ _ Mr. Houghton—Ah, that is because you do not stand in my shoes. Ajmiral Dundas—You have good shoes, I think. By the Chairman —The trade bUween Cadiz a n d Marseilles had ver y muc h increased- in consequence of this trade in cochineal. The French had given the trade every eacouragetnent; they had not the same restrictions as the Navigation Laws of England im posed, for they allowed the cochineal to be imported from Ca - he to Marseilles in French vessels, as they had lately reduced the duties upon the article. Cochineal was con sidered an article of first-rate importance in the French manufactures ; it stood next in importance to indigo. He considered that the ailowii.g the importation of cochineal into France and restricting its importation into England tended to give a direct encouragement to French manufactures in preference to our own. Sir G. Clerk- 7 But how can that be when we already import double what we consume, and the half of it is re. exported again ? Mr. Houghton—lt is a fact for all that. As I said before, there are secrets in all trades, and I may add, that very little of the cochineal imported from other places is re-shipped directly abroad. It is first taken to the warehouses of the importers, whilst our cochineal imported from the Canary Islands is not permitted to come to our warehouses, but it: exported directly from the bond. Sir G. Clerk (laughing)-oh, now I understand. By the Chairman—lt that part of the Navigation . Laws were repealed which prohibits the produce of Asia, Africa, and America being brought to this country by any ship, the prufits of the English shipowner would be much increased. He had been a merchant for many years, and that was the conclusion he had come to atter much experience in the trade and deep reflection. Sir Howard Douglas—Wh a t are the auties levied it this country upon the Canary wines? Mr. Houghton —They are very hey duties.-800 per cent.—and the consequence is, that the wines are not brought to England, but are sent to the East and West Indies. - Mr. Liddell—What would be the consequence if these duties were lowered ? Mr. Houghton—That would increase the demand of our manufacturers, and would multiply the happiness a the huaian race. Mr. Liddell—And also, I suppose, enable you to 11114 port your cochineal direct ?—(A laugh). Mr. Houghton—No doubt of it. Sir Howard Douglas—Then the inconvenience which you complain might be remedied yrithoua4 Bright—Areouuggh h t o t C ly e o r h t u a a t av r e a s alteration of the Navigatio ns L aws ? r. y. r. o erpa?rgrefeerat eExntegnuttshan: M A M I lI H ° also A d a m n ir ow al ne D r u o n i d S a p i— an l i 'V h ou s h l pPe I I b e e n nw o u nt foreign vessels for the shipment of your goods?

Admiral Dundas—T hen you do not think English sailors Worse than others? Mr. Houghton —They are better than they were. They are particularly improved in the article of sobriety. Admiral Dundee— Have you heard any complaints of their general conduct? lilr. Houghton—l have seen them in a French prism; anti a very wild, reckless set they were. Admiral Dundas—ln a French prison —yes, but did you ever see them afloat? Mr. Houghton—Yes, I have ; and I have witnessed II good deal of impropriety and want of talent on board. Admiral Diu:Was—Then you would approve of a plan for examining masters and mates ? Mr. Houghton—l highly approve of such a plan, bet I think a compulsory plan would not be practicable; sad I am aware that the Americans, who have some vary gool captains, do not practise it. By the Chairman—He considered that the restrictions imposed on the importation of cochineal amounted ifs fact to a tax levied upon the use of that article ,to the amount of from 4d. to 6d. per lb. There being no other witnesses present, the Cons• mittee adjourned till Tuesday next, at one o'clock. dericl‘ ' a ges" 1 1 SOS do I,
