The benefits flowing from Life Assurance cannot be better 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 of the 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 1 Assurance is more peculiarly applicable. " The Agricultural and General 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 imperections and defects, and the managers feel as sured that the principles upon which it has been founded, tied 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 TURAL 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 vested 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.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that - there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected, The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultiirately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide hint through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea .•ause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if nut relinquished.

"—Oxford Chronicle, April 11, 1840. " A successful mode of treating diseases so formidable, so fatal, and so common as Dropsy and Consumption, which assail the human frame from so many, and frequently from such opposite causes, must obviously be an inestimable benefit to mankind. There is scarcely a disease to which flesh is heir that may not terminate either in Dropsy or Consumption, from the simple cold, which inflames the mucous membrane, and obstructs the secretions of the body, to the more appalling aneurism or ossi fication. From an enemy, therefore, that threatens from so many quarters, and lurks in such complicated ambush, all men have been anxious to be delivered ; but hitherto their wishes have been disappointed. Dr. Bright details, step by step, his mode of dealing with Dropsy and Consumption, the Medicines he exhibits, and gives many actual cases of patients cured after they had been given up by eminent members of His profession." —London Conservative.

EXPENSE OF YEOMANRY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta—With reference to the very able paper which appeared in your Journal of the 18th instant, on the subject of the " Expense of the Yeomanry," I beg to observe, for insertion, in a forthcoming number, if you tun spare a corner for its appearance, that there is another cr,ying evil in their constitution, to which the Chancellor of the Exchequer's particular attention ought to be directed. In addition to the average ex pense of 61. Bs. per man, there is a great drawback from the revenue of the country, in the form of horse duty, for in consequence of a horse serving in a troop of yeo manry cavalry it is exempt from duty. Indeed, I know of several riding horses—ay, and even coach-horses too—which are thus freed from the assessed taxes. Where a troop exists is but for any one to mount an individual, and his riding-gig, or carriage-horse, thus bc.comes exempt from duty. Only think, Sir, of the revenue which 14,119 horses, or say half that number, would produce, particularly when it is recollected that the calculation is not to be made on a single horse to each individual, but to the ratio of two or three or even four to certain parties, who keep several for their gigs, carriages, &c,, &c. This is a point I have never heard mooted, but one which ought to have an influence with any Ministry anxious for the public weal. There is also expense of arms, ammunition, &c., to be taken into the the account. July 20, 1840. Your's obediently, A TAX PAYER. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (THURSDAY EVENING.) TRlES.—Attention has been much directed in the city to the late rise in Chilian Bonds, and the impression to which that rise has been attributed. The facts of the case seem to be as follow :—A mercantile house in the city have received advices from their agents in Chili, that about $600,000 dollars have been brought by the Fly to wards the payment of the dividends on Chilian Stock that will full due in September. Still the particulars respect ing this remittance are as yet unknown, as it is said to be made to M. Rosales, the Envoy for Chili, who is now in Paris, and the only certain information in London is the receipt of the advices. The more cautious speculators, who have been long used to the devices of South Arne , rican Governments, are not too sanguine in tneir expectations on account of this alleged remittance. Without further information they are disposed to doubt whether the acceptance of some proposal from the Chilian Government may not be made the condition of paying even a portion of the solitary dividend above re ferred to. It should be borne in mind thats6o,ooo make only 12,000/., and that the amount of half a year's dividend on the Chilian loan amounts to $150,000, or 30,0001., the arrival of the remainder of which is placed in a still greater degree of doubt than that of the remittance already al luded to. But a very small matter will do in the city to raise a speculation upon in these " forlorn hopes" of pub lic debt. The East India and China Association have prepared a memorial against the propcsed unequal reduction of the duties on coffee, by which foreign coffee imported direct would pay lOid. instead of ls. 3d. per pound, and the produce of the British possessions sd. instead of 6d. per pound, while the duty on foreign coffee imported from British possessions within the limit of the East India Com pany's charter, would not be reduced at all, but remain at the original rate of 9d. per pound. The whole purport of the memorial of this association, as well as of a petition to the Board of Trade, signed yesterday by a great number of firms, is to claim a reduction of the 9i. to 7.4 d., that the principle of reducing by 1 6th may be applied alike to every duty. It is difficult to conceive on what pretext the partial reduction should be made,to the great detriment of an important branch of trade. It has been shown by calculation, that the direct tendency of such a measure will be to lower the value of the class of coffee now paying 9J. Under the present system the dealer pays about 84s. per cwt. for plantation coffee, which, with a duty of 6d. per lb. viz. 565. amounts to 1404. Estimating good coffee imported from British possessions at 569. for the value in bond, the duty of 9d, per pound, viz. 84s. will make that also 140 s. Now, assuming the duty of 9d. to remain the same, together with the relative values in loond of the two coffees, but the duty of 6d. to be reduced to 5d., it will be seen that the plantation sugar will cost the dealer no more than 130 s, Bd. per cwt. (adding 463. Bd. duty to the value in bond of 845.), and that he can afford to give no more for the coffee imported from British possessions. Deducting from this price the duty of 84s. no more than 46i. tad. is left to the importer instead of his price of 56i. and thus his interests will be sacrificed to a great extent, importation discouraged, and a large proportion of the revenue at least compromised. SUN.—The Funds a shade better to-day, but not buoyant. The market was not very animated. Consols for present transfer ranged from 913 to 91 1 1, up to within a short time of the termination of the business, and for time were marked 92 to 92i. Exchequer Bills were at a premium of 255. to 275. ; and East India Bonds were about the same as yesterday. In Bank and India Stocks there wa4 nothing done. The Reduced Three-and-a Ilper Cents were worth 1004 to 100 L and the New Three-and-a-half per Cents. 991 to 991, being a trifle better. We bear no complaints of a scarcity of money. Confidence alone seems to be wanting to give an im pulse to business. Spanish Active Bonds 27i to 274 for Money, and 27i to 27 for Time, each leaving off at 274. Colombian Bonds realized a slight improvement, viz. 27,i, and Pe. ruvian were marked 164. No bargains were effected in Chilian, although it is rumoured that some instalment on the future dividends will shortly be forthcoming ; nominally they were held for an advance of about two per cent. French Three per Cent. Rentes were firm at 861. 25c. ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were steady at 531 to 531. The Dutch mail brings over the prices of the Funds at Amsterdam on Tuesday 53 9-16 to 531, and of the Five per Cents. at 101 13-16. There was less business doing there in domestic stocks, but Spanish was in good demand. Shares were not brisk, but a trifle better in one or two instances. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. ( From the M orning Post.) . _ The suppres;icat of the cathedrals of England, which, however it may be disguised, is one of the necessary effects of the Bill now before Parliament under the name of the " Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill," has excited, as it deserved to excite, much attention on the part of the public at large, and has drawn forth natural and well founded expressions of anxiety and alarm from the friends and guardians of our national Church. That the parochial ministrations of the Church require reinforcement, and that the necessary funds for that reinforcement should be pro vided, as far as is consistent with the adequate discharge of her other and not inferior duties, from the resources of the Church, are propositions which no honest and rational friend of our national establishment for the main tenance of religion could ever tkink of disputing for a mo ment. But the questions raised by this Bill are, first, whether it is expedient, with a view to the general efficacy of the ecclesiastical establishment of the country, to im poverish the cathedral institutions in order to provide more extensive means of parochial worship and instruction; and, secondly, whether the diminution of the revenues of the cathedrals must necessarily be accompanied by the destruc tion of their frame and the dispersion or annihilation of their elements as ecclesiastical corporations. The former of these questions seems to be already settled, with the concurrence, or rather, we should say, the active co-opera tion, of some of the highest authorites of the Church. (From the Morning Herald.) The property of the Church is, at least, as sacred as the property of private individuals. The larger portion of church property was, at one time, private property; and was, in some instances, bought expressly for the purpose of being settled on the Church. lf, then, private property be entitled to the most ample protection at the hands of the Le gislature, church property may lat claim to all the privileges that arc conceded to private property—as well as to any special privileges which the character of the Church may secure to it. Let the Ecclesiast;eal Duties and Revenues Bill pass into a law, and a heavy blow is aimed at the security of all property. The Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill professes to respect all vested rights in this matter of church property ; but such a profession, as Mr. Knight Bruce well observed, rather adds to the questionable cha racter of the whole measure. If, as this Bill professes, great public necessities demand that p the er :B i h l t o h f e ve C st h e t d ire r h i,h b t e despoiled cf its property, the poor pleas boeugshotunnde,vethretsoe b p e r a p n l e c s e d. out to If immediately ;—if unsound, they ou g ht never to be brou ght b the broughtprinciples t o o o f of suc into operation at all.

Knight Berarcteg, is principle ; and if such be the true principle, how false must be the spirit that pervades the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill. (From the Morning Advertiser.) We consider Mr. F. Kelly's last night's motion for the further abolition of the punishment of death, is alike required by the interests of justice and the character of the country, We deeply regret that the punishment of death has not in this country been ere this entirely abo lished. Of the number of cases w hi c h i n former days were punishable with death, the greater part of them have been abolished, and in no instance has the abolition of capital punishment been found to be attended with an increase of crime. It has been asked, what secondary punishment we would devise to prevent atrocious crimes being committed? Here, we admit, that the law is very defective—that transportation is by no means the system which the Legislature should adopt. But no Christian Le gislature would offer its own negligence, indolence, orinca pacity, as an excuse for putting human beings to death un justly and unnecessarily. It is lamentable that we have not a general sy s t em o f improved secondary punishments. We beg to impress upon the reader that in no one ease has the abolition of capital punishment been followed by an increase of crime. There are still four offences against property marely, which arc punishable by death—cm- No. 13. OR SANDBACH CONTRACT. To make and complete that part of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, commencing at the south end of the south abutment of a viaduct or bridge intended to be erected to convey the said railway over the river Dane, in the township of Church Hulme, and county of Chester, and terminating in a field marked on the Parliamentary plan as No. 2, in the town ship of Crewe, in the said county, being a distance of about eight miles and sixty-three chains, including all the excava tions, embankments, archways, bridges, culverts, drains, and fencing, and to complete the ballasting and lay in g of the per manent way of the said railway over the whole of the said dis. tance, and to keep the whole of the said works in repair for the space of twelve calendar months after completion, and to find and provide all the tequisite materials, according to the plans, sections, drawings, and specifications, within the period and upon the terms and conditions mentioned and contained in the said draft. contract. Drafts of the Contract, with plans and specifications of the proposed works, will be ready for inspection on and after Thurs day, the 30th instant, at the offices of the Company's Engi neer-in-chief, at Store .street, Manchester, and at the ort ces of the Assistant Engineers at Brereton, near Sandbach, in Cheshire. Printed forms of tender may be had at the above-named places, and at the Company's Offices, in Bond-street, Man chester; at which latter place all tenders for the Contract No. 12, must be lodged, on or before the 12th of August neat, at Twelve o'clock at noon ; and for the Contract No. 13, on or before the 13th of August next, at the like hour, indorsed " Tender for Works," and addressed " To the Chairman of the Board of Directors." No tender will be received which is not made according to the printed form to be furnished at the Company's or the Engineer's Offices. The party whose tender is accepted will be required to enter into a bond to the amount of ten per cent. upon his contract, and to give two sureties for the due performance of such con tract; the names of which sureties, with their description, must be set forth in the tender. The Directors will not consider themselves bound to accept the lowest tender. Part:es tendering, or persons duly autho rised by them, must be in attendance at the Company's Offices, in Bond-street, Manchester, at the time of meeting. THOMAS ASIITON.

The iast is arson. hi ail these eases Mr. fC.,!ly's Bill proposes to abolish the punishment of death now existing against them. In answer to most of the objections against such a mea sure, we say that the time is past when the moral guilt of a crime is to be considered in its punishment—moral crimi nality is no element for the consideration of human laws. (From the Times.) With regard to the Canada Union Bill, Sir Robert Peel's and Lord Stanley's acknowledged distrust of the future consequences of that measure were superseded by their fears of what seemed to them the greater and more imminent peril of refusing to act at all. The Duke of Wellington and his friends in the House of Lords thought otherwise. They were of opinion that th^ danger of act. ing was greater than that of waiting; or, at least, that it had been so until the new measure was already antioueeed, and public expectation here and in the Canadas turne d upon that announcement Like honest men, therefore, they declared their apprehensions, and left it to the Government to make use of them or not upon its own responsibility. Like men of prudence and practical experience also, they considered the pos sible mischiefs which might arise from a decided difference between the two Houses of Parliament, and a contrariety, not of opinion merely, but of action, between the party leaders in both douses. Doing, therefore, what was their bounden duty to themselves by a frank announcement of that course which, if moved by no judgment or impulse but their own, and fettered by no proceedings elsewhere, they would have adopted, they ful filled with upright and generous self-denial their duties to the Government, to the public, and to their party, by not wresting power from those hands which were responsible for the use of it, by not risking disturbance from the frus tration of preconceived hopes, and by not impairing public confidence in the authority of their friends in the House of Commons, or in the force and durability of the bonds which united them, which they could not have failed to do had they voted exclusively upon their own feelings, and thrown out the measure. • • -- --- • (From the Morning Chronicle.) A device is in operation at Oxford, the design of which is to place the projected new Regius Professorships in a state of subordination to the Tory junta who predominate in the University, and thus to pervert the Queen's inten tion into means of power to the enemies of her Govern ment. It will be recollected that, when the excellent Dr. Hampden was appointed Regius Professor of Divinity, the University effected to discountenance the appointment; and went to the length of resuscitating the Margaret Pro fessorship from its slumber and sinecurism, and of substi tuting the certificates of its holder for those of the Regius Professor of Divinity. The Tories in the cabal asserted that, though appointed by the Queen, Dr. Hampden was net sanctioned by them ; that he might be Regius Professor of the Quadrangle of Christ Church (where his canonry gave him a residence), but that Professor for the Univer sity he should not be. There is little doubt that this paltry manceuvre of establishing a distinction between h Profes sor appointed by the Queen, and recognised by the Dons in convocation, would have been too palatable to prelatical prejudice to have failed of tuecess as a means of repudiat ing enlightenment and liberality in the person of Dr. Hampden, had there been a vestige of the authority of precedent for such a proceeding. Unfortunately there was not, and the majority of the Bishops were compelled to re fuse the certificates of tEe Lady Margaret's Professor as suf f icient for ordination, thus rendering the recognition of Dr. Hampden essential. The other day, since the announce ment of the two new Regius Professorships, the Univer sity have suddenly assembled and formally appointed a Professor ( the Sibthorpian), who for some years has held the office and received his salary, to his own Professorship . for, the University, he being appointed lave the Regius Professors by other patrons, but having, never theless, invariably held and discharged his office as Uni versity Professor, without its being once deemed neces sary to appoint him formally by the University in convoca tion assembled. The intention is manifestly that of manu. factoring a precedent,. and establishing a power of approv ing, which will be construed and exerted as a virtual veto by the University on professors appointed by any parties without its body—the Queen, of course, among the num ber. In order to counteract this loyal and amiable device for defeating the royal prerogative, and converting lice Majesty's gracious boon into a means of insulting bet, it is very desirable that it be explicitly and expressly pro vided that the patroalge ba vested exclusively in the Crown, without the interference, direct or indirect, of the University. NEWPORT, MONMOUTHSHIRE. JULY 22 For several days past considerably interest has been ex cited here by the report that Mr. P. Geach, son-in-law and attorney of John Frost, was in custody on a charge of forgery to a very considerable amount, on the highly-re. spcctable banking company of Messrs. Williams and Co. It was known that the cage would come on for hearing at two o'clock yesterday, and long before that time a large crowd had gathered in . :ront of the Justice-room, and im mediately the door., were opened the room was crammed by persons anxious to hear the nature of the charge. Mr. Williams, the senior partner of the firm, was In at tendance, accompanied by the solicitor to the Arlo, Mr. Forde, of Henrietta -street, Covent-Garden. The prisoner Geach was brought up in custody (having been in the lock-up house since Saturday last); he was attended by Mr. Crosby, solicitor, of Bristol. Sir THOMAS PHILLIPS called on Mr. For‘le to state too case against the prisoner, which he did, and proceeded to call witnesses to support it. The proceedings were very leng'hened, having occupied the Court till eight o'clock at night, and were adjourned till Monday next. The amount of the forgclics at present investigated is 4,9561. 15s. 81., which consists of three promissory notes, purporting to be signed by Miss Rachel Herbert, of Aber gavenny, a relative of 11each's wife, for the respective amounts of 8321 6s. BJ., 1,000/., and 1,0001., and en dorsed by Geach and two bills of exchange for 1,0371. 16s. 91, and 1,0664 12s. 3d., both drawn by the prisoner, and purporting to be accepted by Edmond Wil liams, of, Macsruddm 1. Miss Herbert was called to prove that the signatures purporting io be hers, were forgeries. EAward Williams, Esq.. proved that the acceptances purporting to ho signed by him were also forged. On the application of Gcach, whe stated that he could prove his entire innocence, the further hearing of the case was adjourned to Monday nor. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT—MAIDSTONE. JULY 23. The Commission of Assize for the County of Kent was this day opened by Baron Gurney at the New Court-house. There are upwards of thirty prisoners for trial, and among the charges are several for malicious stabbing, and other serious offences. Baron Gurney will preside in the Crown Court, and Lord Abinger at Nisi Prius. After the formalities attending the opening of the Commission had been concluded, the Learned Judge attended divine service. Business will be proceeded in both Courts to-morrow. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YoRr, JULY 22. ChOWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron Rolfe.) ._ ..... Samuel Wooler, a stout middle-aged man, was indicted for cutting and wounding his wife, Sarah Weoler, with ie. tent to kill and murder her. It appeared, on examination by the medical man, that the injuries the wife had sustained were of a very dreadful kind. There were the marks of three several blows on the head, several inches long, running parallel to each other from the front to the back, each of which had produced a fracture of the skull, notwithstanding that it had been pro tected in some degree by the hair, which was thick and long. The unfortunate woman had endeavoured, it would seem, to protect herself with her left hand. The fore finger had sustained a severe compound fracture, and the third joint of the third finger was crushed, the ring being driven into the bone and beaten nearly flat. The injuries were such as, in the great majority of cases, would have produced death. Her recovery even partially was for a long time doubtful, and she will never probably be strong again. Her memory is much weakened, and her sight ready destroyed. The jury, after some consultation, brought in a verdict of 14 Guilty, with intent to do some grievous bodily harm." Thw prisoner, when called up for judgment, sale that his wife had been constantly irritating him by unfounded ac mations of infidelity, The object of her suspicions was an old woman of nearly 70 years of age. She had driven him from the Methodist connexion of which he'had been a member, and in which he was at one time about to be a teacher. lier provocation had been incessant, until he did not know what he was doing. HIS LORDSHIP sentenced him to be transported for life, intimating that had the jury found him guilty upon the higher charge he should have been left for execution. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)
