The New Line of Steam-vessels for the India mails will thenceforward continue to leave England for Gibraltar, Malta, and Alexan dria, on the Ist of every month, and Alexandria for Malta, Gib raltar, and England, from the 20th to the 25th of every month, snaking the passage each way, under ordinary circumstances, in fourteen days. A branch steamer will run twice a month be tween Malta and the lonian Islands with mails, passengers, goods, and parcels. Each vessel will carry a Medical Officer appointed or approved of by Government, and the time occu pied in the passage home will be allowed in the quarantine. Passengers for India, who may desire to visit the interesting scenery and localities of Spain and Portugal, will have the pri vilege, free of additional expense, of proceeding in any of the Company's weekly Peninsular mail steamers, and may thus visit Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon and Cintra, Cadiz, Seville, Gibral tar, Algeciras, &c., joining the India mail steamer for Malta and Alexandria at Gibraltar. A liberal table, with wines and every necessary, w ill be found, and included in the fare. Female attendants for ladies. Private family cabins, and a separate sleeping cabin for every passenger under ordinary circumstances. A large and powerful steam-ship will shortly be sent out to commence a line of communication between Calcutta, Madras, Ceylon, and Suez, in :connection with the line to Alexandria, particulars of whch will be given in a future advertisement. Swift and commodious iron steamers are about to be placed on the Nile for the conveyance of passengers, &c., between Atfe and Cairo, by which they will be enabled with certainty to reach the outward steamer at Suez, and the homeward steamer at Alexandria, as soon as the mails. _ Full directions for travellers to and from India, Egypt, &c., by the new and improved convey ance, are in preparation, and will shortly be printed.

OLD CROWN INN, LICHFIELD. GEORGE CALLOWAY begs respectfully to inform commercial gentlemen, agriculturists, and the public that he has taken the above Inn, and hopes, by un remitting attention to the accommodation and comfort of those gentlemen who may honour him with their support, to merit the continuance of the kind patronage bestowed for upwards of fifty years upon his predecessor, the late lamented Mr. Ben amin Mansell. G. C. assures gentlemen that he will keep only the very choicest stock of Wines, Spirits, &c., and that the Stabling Department shall be unrivalled. George Calloway, intending to devote his whole time and attention to those gentlemen who may honour the Old Crown with their support, avails himself of this opportunity of re turning his respectful and grateful thanks to the noblemen and gentlemen who so liberally patronised him whilst he was on the turf.

PARATION OF RIO NEGRO SARSAPA RILLA is one of the most powerful medicinal agents for renovating the Constitution which has ever been introduced to the Public. It sweetens the blood, corrects a bad habit of body, removes pimples and blotches, and is an infallible remedy for Scrofula, Scurvy, Erysipelas, Secondary Symptoms, and all tnose disorders originating in impurities of the blood, whether hereditary or otherwise, and particularly those arising from the long.continued use of mercury. This Preparation, which is the result of many years' laborious research and experiment, is thus not iced b y Dr. HANCOCK, in his Philosophical Papers, read before the " Medico-Botanical So ciety :" " It is a fact yet unheeded or unknown in Europe, that this species of Sarsa, the Rio Negro, does manifest a peculiar power in healing ulcers in all parts of the body, and removing a multitude of chronical affections. It is scarcely less remarkable for its power in improving the condition and babit of body, and thetefore it is not without reason esteemed a great restorative ; but the narrow views of the Faculty have tended to restrict its use to syphilitic affections, and there appears to be no comprehension of its general utility in alter ing the condition of the blood and amending the habit of body, as it does most manifestly in scrofulous, consumptive, and dropsical habits, and caehexies—foul or perverted states of the humours, &c."

A_S manhood approaches, the human form, coun tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating images after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and ob structed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of wild and injurious indulgence, and tne mind becomes painfully harassed by alternations of fears, disgust, and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the inexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the expense of health that being only palliated which should have been effectually'eured. 'Here we propose to s tep in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poiame, and to restore to its wonted energy every relaxation of the genteative economy, whether from this or other causes, whereby the divots ef manhood shall have become impaired ; equally conterriena teeeeling empy ricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys where IL should re stores and, on the other hand, that unworthy .• principled whose proud selfishness increases the embarrassment of the ethicted All classes of society, not excepting the Angle_lreliari, but more espe cially such, as are about to enter into matrimonial fife, are included in the limits of this address, and to all we confidently offer the result of many years' successful practice.

The benefits flowing from Life Assurance cannot be bettor illustrated than by the recorded opinion of the late Mr. Mor gan, " that an assurance on any life, effected in any office, is not only a private but a public benefit ;" and the opinion of a man of so much knowledge and experience, who devoted a long life to the management of one oithe oldest and most pros perous of these establishments, must alone be sufficient to im press a conviction of their utility and importance on every re flecting mind. The increase of Companies for the Assurance of Lives so far, then, from being ?the result of ill advised or hazardous speculation, is to be attributed to an extended know ledge of the protection and security afforded by them, and of the solid basis and unerring principles on which the experience of more than a century has proved them to be founded. This knowledge is increasing and will continue to increase with the extending intelligence and means of information possessed by those classes of the community to whom the system of Life Assurance is snore peculiarly applicable. " The Agricultural and Genaral Life Assurance Company," is framed upon such principles as to secure the greatest benefits to its members, and so regulated in its details as to be free from the usual imperfections and defects, and the managers feel as sured that the principles upon which it has been founded, and the regulations under which it will be conducted, entitle the establishment to the confidence and preference of the public. ADVANTAGES exclusively presented by the " AGRICUL , TUR AL and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COM- PANY." The Board of Management is composed of Shareholders and Policy-holders, the majority being assurers to the extent of 2,0001. each with the institution. The holders of Policies for the term of Life for 2,0001. and upwards, qualified to became Members of the Board. The Auditors are policy-holders, and the holders of policies for the term of Life for 1,0001. and upwards, qualified for that office. The holders of policies for the term of Life for 1,0001. and upwards, have votes in the election of Auditors. The Trustees to be nominated by the Metropolitan Board, and by the Local Committees, the latter in each case to be composed of a majority of the holders of policies for the term of Life for 1,0001. and upwards. The Funds of the Company to be rested in the Trustees, none of whom are to be Shareholders, but all of whom may be Policy-holders, who are to have a poxer of intervention in the affairs of the Institution for the protection of Assurers. No severance to be made of the assurance fund, nor any dividend paid upon the capital stock, until a Report, approved by the Auditors, shall have been made of the debts, credits, and precise state of the Institution, showing the estimated pro fit, a cautionary reserve to protect against casualties, and the sum applicable to meet the outstanding engagements to the Trustees, who are vested with a veto against the payment of an excessive dividend. No claim upon a policy to be resisted, except upon the autho rity of a special report and recommendation of the Committee of the district within which the policy was effected, showing a fraud upon the Company, or some well-grounded objection to an unjust demand. All claims payable within one month after proof of death. Ten per cent.. on the sum assured may be received imme diately after satisfactory proof of death shall be afforded, when ever the circumstances of the claimant shall render such an accommodation essential. No proof of birth required after a claim shall arise, as the age of the assured will be at all times admitted in the policy. Fraud only to vitiate a policy, and all disputes to be settled by arbitration, at the option of the assured. Policies assigned, or duly deposited, as equitable securities with creditors, not vitiated by suicide, death by duelling, or the hands of justice. Unopposed probates and letters of administration of diocesan Courts entitle claimants to receive the sums assured in this office without being subjected to the expense or delay required to obtain the usual authority from the Prerogative Court. Policies forfeited by non-payment of premiums renewable upon satisfactory certificates of health, and the payment of the premium in arrear with interest thereon, with a small fine to be fixed by the Board. Females and others to whom it maybe inconvenient to appear before the Board will be attended by the Medical Officers of the establishment.

" We observe in a pamphlet, ' Anti-Deist,' published by Mr. Bellamy, that Exodus, c. iii., v. 22, is a gross mistransla tion. He notices a: number of other errors in the translation of the Bible now in use, equally hostile to the true meaning of the writers. It is not a little curious, that many of these mis translated passages, which give meanings in direct opposition to the real ones, have been as stoutly defended by eminent theo logians as any in the whole book, and long commentaries have been written upon them, expressly to show their beauty and propriety."—The Examiner, Dec. 24, 1821.

The terms, date, and subscription of the Charter, have in duced several learned men to believe it spurious. But without entering into the controversy, I shall content myself with ob serving, that long before this Charter the Clergy of England claimed a right to the Tithes, if they were not already in actual possession of them. This is evident from the 17th Canon of the Council of Calcuith, held in 785, where we find they urged the payment of Tithes from the Law of Moses. If this Chas ter, therefore, is not to be considered a forgery, it seem at least to be of very doubtful authority. Add to this, that by the tenth part of the lands must necessarily be meant the tenth part of the profits; which must be owned to be a very forced interpretation, especially in a primordial Act such as this."— Page 111, Rapin's History of England. " The plan which I have to unfold may at first appear start ling. • • • . to introduce within the Christian Church. It may appear to encroach by those who have strenuously ad vocated the sacredness of the clergy's income, and entered their decided protest against any reform being necessary, as re lating to ecclesiastical affairs."—Espilon Theta. "The King, Henry the Fourth, representing to the Parlia ment his great want of an extraordinary aid, the Commons went in a body and addressed him, ' That without burdening his people he might supply his occasions by seizing the revenue of the clergy.' The Archbishop of Canterbury resisted—the Commons brought in a Bill to seize the clergy's revenues— the solicitations of the Archbishop were so prevalent with the Lords, that they threw out the Bill, so the Commons were forced to find other means to supply the King's occasions ; the clergy granted a tenth and a-half. —Page 49b. '• The Commons, willing to comply with the King's ( Henry V.) demand of a subsidy, presented an address, praying him to seize the clergyul revenues. The clergy perceiving their ruin inevitable, came to the resolution to resign a part of their riches to the King in order to save the rest."—Page 509, Rapin's History of England. (1. )—See the Sun, Nos. 14,628, 14,662. " /So mention, Bishgc Barlow observes, is made of tithes in the grand codes of canons, ending in the year of our Lord 457, (which, next to the Bible, he considers as the most au thentic book in the worts). During all that period, there fore, both the clergy end the Church appear to have been sup ported by the free gifts and other oblations of the pious."—See Selden on Tithes, and Barb. Rem. 169. " Tithes, from the Saxon word Teoda, which signifies the tenth part of a thing, may be defined to be the tenth part of the increase yearly, arising and renewing from the profits of land, the stock upon lands, and the personal industry of the in habitants."-2 Black. Corn. 21. From the above readings the following scale is deducible:— Allowing agricultural produce to realise thirty per cent., which is absolute—tithe impost to be included—and increase being considered synonymous with produce—a tenth is 131. per cent. Here we must observe we think the imposition of three half pence in every shilling quartern loaf a severe infliction for our spiritual edification. Albeit it would almost pass without a murmur, but that our hallowed Faith enjoins us " To feed the hungry"—and its denanciations are upon those who are unmind ful of " the child of misery baptised in tears."

We cull from the " blaze of eloquence" of immortal Milton the epitaph for the patron of this work—" Revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse." " In the House of Lords, the debate being on the state of Ireland, the Earl of Liverpool said, The Noble Lord had in sisted on tithes, a property to which the Church had a right. He could not go quite the length of his Noble Friend, and be lieved that ultimately the question must come under the con sideration of Parliament. '—( Hear, hear. ) See Morning Herald, June 20, 1823. There is the recorded vote of the House of Commons to 10 per cent. property or income tax ! being oppressive. Under the operation of the property tax an esquire whose principal of 10,0001. netted him 5001. per annum, paid to the State 501., under the operation of the tithe composition, an outlay of 5001. subjects the cultivator to the same 501. ; this, in deed, is " th' oppressors wrongs." " The alarm excited by announcing a proposed continuance of the income tax was now beginning to operate; and the city of London commenced an opposition by presenting to Parlia ment, on Feb. 8, two petitions against the tax, one from the t L h o e r d r, o lk r l d ay 3 o i r a , y A or ld a e . r d m L an i v , c a r r y id Common men, both expressed Council, ngr rorlan guage, respecting the odious and inquisitorial nature of the tax. The Ministers and their adherents increased their efforts to make it appear that the opposition to the tax was fastened by popular clamour and party manoeuvres. This attempt re ceived a final defeat by a petition, presented on March 18, by Sir William Curtis, from the merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of London. The number of signatures was 22 ,000 . March the 18th the Chancellor of the Exchequer proposed the continuance of the obnoxious tax several other speakers fol lowed on each side. At length every voice was drowned in the cry of question, and the House divided, when the numbers were, for the continuance of the tax; 201, against it 238, majority 37. When the result was announced, a long and loud cheering arose in the House, which was re-echoed by the crowd that filled the lobby and avenues, and the, event was felt throughout the na tion rs a relief from an oppressive burden."—Annual Register for 1816.

It is now more than thirty years since the eminent linguist Bellamy divulged his biblical emendations, through a periodical of the highest literary character in the country, the " Classical Journal ;" it is twenty. two years since we became adherents to his promulgations, and with an intent watchfulness, The Sun, the Examiner, ansl the Chester Chronicle, are the only Papers amongst the range, who have promoted the matter held to be " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life." This enables us to repel the imputation to the " Continental Despots," we rather say Sovereigns of Europe, or " the cruel and faithless bigot," and it may go to assuage the acerbity of vituperations against them, when one whose purport was and is " of the utmost importance to the interest of mankind," and " a life beyond life," has received such an act of unexampled injustice from the press of England.—We hope this will not be overlooked by the Germanic Diet on the regulations of the Press. " What complaint does the bulk of the people make of the Legislature? It is charged, in the case of the Corn-laws— openly and distinctly charged, with inflicting hunger, disease, and death on large portions of the community to enrich its members. It cuts down the population, as Lord Ashburton affirms. It curtails the supply of food, it limits the demand for and the wages of labour. It plunders the working-da_ses to put wealth in the pockets of the Aristocracy. All these things are the very reverse of its duties. It holds power to cherish and protect the people, and is highly criminal if it shorten a life unnecessarily one day, or misappropriate one stick of the property of the obedient people.

It being spoken by him, " who spake as never man spoke." Mathew, c. iv., v. 4. " But he (Jesus) answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the month of God," it being our purport to carry out, and the majority of a House of Commons to abro gate the mandate of the Deity himself, (2) though what we submit " may at first appear startling," emboldens us. This train of thought leads u,s to entertain the idea that it is a national degradation ; that those in the receipt of from 3,0001. to 30,0001. per annum should " writhe from the hands of pea sants their hard-earned pittance" of three-halfpence in a loaf, and this, too, for the support of an Establishment of high in tellectual character. The country's dignity demands the abolition. Therefore we hope that her Majesty will be pleased to pro mote an assessment of one-half per cent. on all houses at a rent •f 501. per annum, 11. per cent. on all houses at 1001. per an num ; two per cent. on all at 2001. per annum ; three per cent. •n all at 2001. upwards at the aernual rent-charge. This paid into her Majesty's Exchequer, the Clergy to be paid by a gra duated scale. We pray her Most Gracious Majesty " hear us for our cause," that it may disarm every depraved mind against her " sacred person," and that no— " Peasant shall have cause to say, Heaven shorten Victoria's happy life one day."

The following are extracts from the Second Repoli of the Committee of Spanish Bondholders : " The Committee feel that, as creditors, it is tbeir duty, and they have a right, to investigate and watch ever the financial position and pecuniary transaetiout their debtor. In the exercise of this duty the/ liens made the proper inquiries, both of the contractors and of the Government of Spain : in both cases replies have been refused or evaded ; and this apparently stjtclied concealment, as in private life, naturally tended t o bevel suspicions both of the resources, intentions, and opera tions of the debtors. Nor were these suspicion* con fined to the Chairman and those Mt . mbers of the Com mittee who visited him at their rooms : from time to time the most alarming reports poured in from the eel& tal of Spain itself, and from Paris, both in the public prints and private letters. With every success of the Duke of Vittoria in the field, public credit seemed to sink in Madrid on the Bo:sa: Private letters without number were addressed to the Chairman Calling his at tention to the impending danger ; and among others, one of the 27th May, from a Member of the Cornarit tee, Mr. NV ) llie, was submitted to his discretion, which he thought of too great importance to be withheld from the Committee ; and they, after due consid-ere tion of its contents, and that its information cams through a source not seeking to depress Spanish credit, nor interested in the ups and downs of its stock, but, to use the writer's own words, to serve the Committee of which Mr. Wyllie is a member, and induce them to look with due consideration upon the actual position of his unfortunate country'—resolved it should be pub lished in their second report, the only.dissentjent Mr. Henderson, who deprecated sunk aleclosuris, raid professed his ability to disprove seeeral of the state. ments. On this, Mr. Willie himself moved that Mr. Henderson should be allowed time to prepare his state ment of the debt and revenue of Spain, offering to with draw his letter if the Committee, on the receipt of Mr. Henderson's statement, should consider right, the general interests of the bondholders ; and the Commit tee agreed that they should re-assemble on the 15th, to consider the statement which Mr. Henderson engaged* to prepare by diet day, but they refused to cancel the resolution already passed respecting Mr. Wyllie's lets's.. M. Wyllie's report on the debt of Spain at the com menament of last year is as follows : a I On the Ist of January, 1839, after deducting the amount cancelled in the purchase of national properties, the Internal Consolidate n d or Activ e Debt of Spain, bearing 5 per cent. interest, amounted to,' 4 Reales 4e Velion' . And the debt of the same descrip tion bearing 4 per cent. interest, ditto 1,117,529,663,14 612,034,731,83 On the same day the Foreign Active Debt. bearing 5 per cent, amounted to, ditto .. - " Making in all, Reales de Vellon 5,419,748,583,1 r " On nhich the interest, at the above rates, if paid amounts to 265,867,081 annually. " On the same day, and after making the same deduction for amounts cancelled in the purchase of na tional Properties, the Internal De ferred Debt, not bearing interest, amounted to' Reales de Vellon' 9,533,884,347,21 The Internal Passive, not bearing interest, to, ditto " The Deferred Foreign, ditto, ditto 1,139,384,000,00 " And the Passive Foreign, ditto, ditto 1,294,960,000,00 Making in all, ' Reales de Velion' 12,429,133,322,09 And adding debt bearing interest... 5,419,748,563,13 " Grand total; Reales de Velkoz' ... 17,849,581,905,22" " Which at 20 per dollar, and estimating the dollar at 4s. 2d., amounts to the enormous sum of 1.85,933,1441. sterling. " But this is not all : my informa:.t writes, We must add the amount of the Active Bonds created, and clandestinely' issued (puesta en cireula(i9u),by Senor Mendizabal ; the creations of the last Minister, San Millen ;' and those for which the present Minster, Santillan,' solicits the sanction of the Cortcs. My in formant further says,' W e ought also to bear in mind that the Internal Passive Debt increases daily, and that what the Government will have to recognise of the finite' claims against the Treasury, is an amount which cannot easily be calculated. " It would appear that, from 31st of December, 1838, no proper balance had been struck ; but my correspond ent (who has the means of knowing fully what he says) states that the clandestine' issues already made, and the creations now projected, will about equal the whole amount cancelled by the sales of natiorsal properties subsequently to that date, leaving 186,000,000/. as the probable total debt of Spain at the present moment, subject to the daily increases and the 'infinite' as 3eo unsettled claims just mentioned. " Now, I hold that, added to the indispensable ex penses of the public service, the public debt of Sp-,in already far exceeds her present means of payment ; and that it becomes the duty of the committee over which you preside, by every means in their power, to discou rage ard prevent any nezv loan which the Government may propose. lam informed, and I believe, that the whole net revenue, when well collected, does not exceed 600,000,000 reales de vellon,' 6,250,000/. sterling. Hew far this goes beyond the demands of the state, even its years of peace, I am not prepared to say ; but it must be evident to every one that it would barely suffice for an annual dividend of about 3 per cent. upon the whole debt of Spain, if bearing interest as it at present stands, and that, under such circumstances, any addition to that debt robs those who lend it, and only proportionally accelerates her progress to national bankruptcy." The following letter has been addressed by the chair man, Richard Thornton, Esq. to Lord Palmerston. " Old Swan, April 10, 1840. " My Lord,—Agreeably to the promise I made on the .sth instant, I have now the honour of submitting to your Lordship the opinions I entertain, in common with several other influential merchants, on the subject of the financial difficulties of Spain, and the means which exist, immediate and prospective, for ameliorating her condition. " Much of the derangement which has affected, and continues to affect Spain, is to be attributed to a long period of mismanagement and mal-administration of her finances, together with the total absence of proper com mercial re6ulations. The corruption and immorality of some of her Ministers, and the grasping covetousnegs of agents and loan contractors, arc as notorious as they are lamentable, and I consider it perfectly useless to advance to Spain one real more while the present Sean oial system remains unreformed. The practice of bor rowing money on usurious terms, the exchange of one promise for another, or of ctne piece of paper for Qtr. other, cannot be too strongly deprecated ; it tends only to enrich jobbers and speculators, at the expense of those whose interests ought solely to be kept in view. " It is universally admitted that Spain has immense resources, which, if properly developed and applied, would in a very short time enable her to surmount her difficulties. lam of opinion that the best assistance which friendly nations can give to Spain is an example of morality, the advice of a good system of po litical economy, and an unequivocal disposition to pro mote her prosperity by a fair commerce. The interests of Spain, of her creditors, and of the nations friendly to her would be best consulted by establishing a system that would benefit all. For instance, such as opening three or four ports, such as Cadiz, Barcelona, Corunna, Bilboa, or any others, for the introduction of manufac tures and other articles, the productions of friendly Ras tions ; that is, such powers as shall acknowledge thn Queen of Spain, establishing an import duty of not less than 25 or 30 per cent., as might be agreed upon. A simultaneous arrangement of this sort might also combine a plan for gradually defraying the external debt of Spain, by a provision for the over-due coupons being received in part payment of duties in all the ports to which the treaty might extend. At present it is esti mated that aboutfour-fiftbs of the imports are introduced by the demoralising system of smuggling, in which illicit trade about 300,000 Spaniards are employed, most of whom might be brought to habits of industry, and the immense and varied productions of Spain might be cultivated and exchanged for other commodities, instead of being left inert in the soil. Comfort and prosperity, now unknown, would result from an active track., and the greatest ;possible benefits would arise both to Spain and her now suffering creditors. " I doubt not, my Lord, that your Lordship and teiy Lord Clarendon will agree in the correctness of my views ; and as I am of opinion that two more Compe tent or conversant statesmen cannot tae found, I trust your Lordship will give the subject your serious consi' deration, the more so as I am persuaded a more fitting opportunity could not present itself; as on the part of France, Monsieur Titters, I am sure, would lend his willing and enlightened co-operation ; indeed every per son interested in the welfare and fate of Spain, either directly or indirectly, ought to exert his influence in pursuit of ol.jccts of such great commercial importance. based as they would be upon equitable and reciprocal interests. " I have the honour to remain, my Lord, " Your Lordship's most obedient servant, "RICHARD THORNTON." " To the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Paltnerston." dcsireofthe Committee,ie h ultimo, area M 1 15th H l e t nde o rson' f ; reportAt the vs•as forwarded to them on the his estimate is -54,716,9501,3.37163 Reels Irnetreeringabl D d debt e b t . .. .. .. . . .. .......
