For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0901. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The fellowing are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 10A01. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

For short periods the Premiums are considerably lower, and fbr any ages or contingencies not usually advertised information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

Fielder', John THE -- i ------- T HE ADDRESS IN ANSW M SIA ER TO THE SPEECH FRO THE . We hav e received from BerIin THRONE a copy of the Address r --- K - RUSIET. of the P russ i an Diet, in reply to the Speech from the Throne, as adopted Unanimously by the Committee appointed t o d raw it up for the Diet. It is as follows:-- " Very G rac i ous Lord and King,—Since your acces sion to th e Th rone, your Majesty has laboured inces santly at th e no b le development of the existence of the nation, and th e country enjoys with feelings of gratitude the advantage s resulting from the lively interest taken by the pe o pl e i n public affair s . A ne w and more elevated sphere ha s b een opened for this interest. Recognising the nece ss i ty o f a representative organ, common to the whole n a ti on , and its utility for the unity of the state, your Majesty has d e i gne d to convoke in an un i ted Diet the States o all the p rov i nces. By your free an d truly royal decisi on , your Majesty has made a great step, and we accomplish a fi rst and sacred duty in laying at the foot of the Throne the expressions of the gratitude of a faithful people, and na e - our immutable attachment to the person an d f amily of your Majesty. The country increases in greatne ss b y the elevate d m i n d o f i ts Princes, and th e power of public opinion; its future prosperity is b ase d upon this community. It is mani fested anew by th e f act of your Majesty having, in your letters patent of the 3d of February of this year, an flounced your intention of continuing to erect on the basis of the laws given by his Majesty the late King, and to which the peep!e are attached as to a patrimony which itacquired,Majesty as a re compense f or it s fid e li ty in on having realised the reserve ex pressed in the law of the s t h June, 1823, and given the name of United Diet to th e assembly which in the said c h fl a i i ct nobly. You r law is called the General Assembly of States, and in the law of the 17th January, 1820, the Assembly of the States of the Kingdom, the laws founded upon the laws there laid down, and upon other anterior laws, are ac- , quired by the states. The decree of the 17th January, 1820, compels the au th o rity c h arge d w i t h the ad ministration of the public debt to give an account annually to the Assembly of the States of the Kingdom, and thus ensures to it the vital condition of useful action, vix.—its periodical convocation. The same law subjects to the co-guarantee of the States of the Kingdom, not merely the loans for which the entire for tune of the state is given as surety, or which are destined for the wants of peace, but also every new loan which the state should be compelled to contract to secure its own existence, or with the view to the increase of the 1 general prosperity. Thus the guarantee of the debts of the states demands a correct knowledge of the financial condition of the country and of the state of the national wealth, and hence the co-operation of the states, when the question affects the disposal of th e domains which are not comprised in the dispositions of the law of Ja nuary 17, 1820, f orms part of the attributions which be long of right to the states. that s The law of the sth J une, 1823, determines besides long as there s h a ll b e no general assemblies of states the Bills o f a general na ture shall be submitted to the provincial states. Hence forth this decision will cease to have any effect by the creation of a united Diet of the states, so th at the advice of the latter is necessary for all the general l aws having for object to effect changes in the rights of persons or property, or to levy taxes, and cann ot b e replaced by ramittee diets or united co - ~ the advice of provincial s. THE O OF EDUCAT ION . Inc GOVERNMENT EA SURE OPPONENTS.—It has t ranspired that NlatST E y O F an attempt is being made to coerce Mr. Ord, A LP., with the view of causing him to vote at variance with hi s con victions upon the education question. A few of th e dissent ing voters of the town are, it seems, about t o assure that gentleman that unless he votes to please them, th ey will not c be answerable for the consequences. In other words, they' very politely inform him that he is to vote on this question solely as their delegate, not as the responsi ble representative of a great community. Su c h i s the idea of duty and tolerance which the parties to whom we refer seek to realise. They denounce domination in religious matters, yet strive to be tyrannical. They profess to be the friends of freedom of conscience, and yet presume to trample upon it in their dealings with others. They talk loudly of right and liberty, and despise both to accomplish a purpose. They arraign . the inqui s iti on of former times, and themselves become inqnisitors. They detest dic tation, and would become dictators. Are these the repre sentatives of modern Nonconformity—the champions of right against might—the enemies of State interference --the advo cates of freedom of thought and unshackled action ? Alas ! no. In the name of the principles they violate, and the profes sions they disgrace, we protest against them being considered' types of the Dissenters of Newcastle. They are exceptions, few and weak, and must not be confounded with the body from which they spring.—Newcastle itdvertiser. TO THE LADIES. This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 1846. • Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan•street, Borough, takes this oppor- tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy ot• his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a care of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and lrevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the anost aromatic herbs and flowers with *confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the crown of the he/0 ; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air ou children's heads in a few appplic•itions. It used on infants' eads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See pamphlet of testimonials.

Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, and a jury of 19 inhabitants of St. George's parish, assembed at the deceased's private residence, for the purpose of in vestigating the melancholy affair. r. eston, of Fenchurch-street; was present to wat M ch the W fa proceedings on b e h a lf of thefamily of the de ceased. The jury, after being sworn, proceeded to vi ew th e remains of th e deceased. The body was lying on a mattress in one of the front rooms of the second floor— the same apartment ordinarily occupied by the deceased as his bed-room ; it presented a ghastly appearance-- a jagged wound extending across the left side of the throat. The proceedings commenced with the examination of Robert Filson, footman in the service of the deceased, who said—l saw my master last alive on Sunday night, when he retired to rest. At 7 o'clock the next morning, in obedience to my master's instructions, I went up stairs and knocked at his bedroom door. lie asked who was there? I told him who it was. He made no reply, and as he sometimes did not like to be distui bed I went down stairs again. In about 20 minutes I went back and knocked at the door. I asked him if he had taken his medicine? but I got no answer. I went up again as near about half-past 8 o'clock as possible. At this time Lady Webster came out of her room, and asked me h ow Si r H enry was, and whether he had taken his medicine? I told her I had been to the room three times and could get no.anssver. She then went herself and knocked at the door, and asked him to let her in. He muttered something, but we could not make out what it was, and then she said the door must be br ken open. Sir Henry and Lady Webster gene rally occupied separate rooms. I broke open the door in Lady Webster's presence. On entering I found Sir Henry lying on his face on the ground, near the foot of the bed. I pulled up the blind, and on turning round saw that Lidy Webster was in the act of coming into the room. I immediately prevented her. I saw blood on the floor as soon as I entered; there were tracks of it nearly across the room from the direction of the window. I took a pillow from the bed and placed it under Sir Henry's hE ad. He spoke only once after I saw him, and then merely said "he was cold." I saw a small knife lying on the floor near Sir Henry —a clasp knife. There were two doors to the room in which Sir Henry slept; both of them were tried, and found fast before- we attempted to break open the one. On Sunday night Sir Henry appeared in his usual health. We had only arrived from the Continent on Friday evening last, having been travelling for the last seven months. About seven weeks ago, while in Paris, I first noticed a differ ence in Sir Henry's manner. He then appeared to be unusually excited, and was more free than usual in his manner. He afterwards became very unwell, and suffered from lowness of spirits. He kept his bcd while in that capital one day, or a day and a half. I never recollect his having done so before. A Juror—Have you heard, or do you know of your own know/edge, that the deceased had lost a very serious sum of money by a recent steeplechase ? Witness—l have no knowledge of any such circumstance. A Juror—Had you any knowledge of the knife with which the act was committed? Witness—l never saw it before. The CORONER—Did you ever hear the deceased threaten to commit suicide? Witness—Never.. John Ashburner, M.D., of 30, North Audley-street, examined—l have attended the deceased Baronet pro fessionally for some years. He has been during that period subject to attacks of gout and disorganization of the digestive functions. On February last he suffered from great depression of spirits, which I attributed to the state of his health. Dr. Holland and myself saw him together on Saturday last for the first time since his return to this country. He was then suffering from 'great lowness of spirits. We gave him medicine calculated to relieve his loaded venous system. On Sunday we saw him again. Dr. Babington met us on that day. We found he had not taken the medicine we prescribed for him on the Saturday. We urged on him the importance of his doing so. He said his bowels had been acted on without the medicine, and, therefore, he thought there was no occa sion for it. On Sunday afternoon I dined with the deceased, and before leaving him, about half-past nine o'clock, I gave' him a calomel pill myself. Ile was in better spirits on Sunday, while I was dining with him, than I had seen him for some time. About eight or nine years ago he suffered from a similar depression of spirits. At that time he was occasionally greatly excited. On Saturday, after our consultation, we gave directions to the family and servants that Sir Henry should be watched, as we considered his state of mind required it. We, at the same time, desired that he should not be controlled in any way. The CORONER—WiII you explain more precisely what you meant when you desired that the deceased should be. watched ? Dr. , Nshburner—Our remarks were more of the chargc'er of general observations than express direc• lions. I had heard that a poisoned instrument which Sir Henry generally kept under his pillow had been taken from its place by one of the servants, and that Sir Henry had been very angry thereupon, and had taken possession of the instrument, and kept it in his pocket. I old the servant he had done quite right, and that if ho I observed any change in his master's conduct, he had better take possession of the instrument again. At the same time I advised that his razors should not be re moved. as I considered that such a course would be cal culated to annoy and excite him. Examination continued--I mu cousin to the deceased's wife. The deceased told me on Saturday that he was depressed in spirits owing to some family affairs, but as I knew they were trifles which he referred to I made no further allusion to the subject. When I was called in on Monday morning I found deceased lying on the floor. Lie complained of being very cold. I found that he had a- wound on the left side of the neck, at th 3 back part. Referring to the wound, I said to him, " flow came you to do such a foolish thing ?" He made no reply. I then expressed a hope that he would recover, but he said, "Oh, no ! Oh, no ! I sha'n't." Dr. Holland came shortly afterwards, and, with myself, thinking it de• sirable to have the best surgical assistance, we sent for Sir Benjamin Brodie and Mr. Liston. Both those gen. tlemen attended, but nothing could be done for the de ceased, who gradually sank, and died at twenty minutes to twelve o'clock on Monday night. I have examined the wound. It is a very deep one—not necessarily fatal, however, either in its nature, or in the loss of blood arising therefrom, but, coupled with his condition of mind and the state of his health, it was likely to prove fatal. I have no doubt whatever that the wound was the cause of death. I have had some experience in cases of insanity. Ido not feel satisfied that a person who commits suicide is necessarily a person of weak mind. Whenever the organ of destructiveness is peculiarly acted on by inflammation, any individual suffering therefrom might commit violence oa himself or some other person. The CORONER—Are you aware that the deceased was under any apprehension of pecuniary difficulties? lir. Ashburner —I know that his pecuniary circumstances have preyed upon his mind; but it was entirely owing to hallucination. He had an impression that he was liable to be arrested in the streets. It was a delusion altoge ther, as I happen to know myself that he had large balances in the hands of both his bankers. In fact, his circumstances were in an excellent state. The CORONER—Do you know whether deceased ha lately spoken of the a c t of self-destruction? Dr. Ash burner —Of my own knowledge Ido not ; but a few months ago he did speak to Lady Webster on the sub ject, and eight or nine years ago I know myself he fre quently alluded to it. He appeared to be under an hallucination on the subject. A Juror—You spoke of a poisoned instrument which deceased constantly kept near him. Do you think he destroyed himself with that instrument? Dr. Ashburner —No; the instrument alluded to was a sma ll d agger, which Sir Henry always kept about him. He did not have it with him on the Continent, but on his return on Friday last he obtained possession of it. I am quite sure the wound, from the effects of which deceased died, was not inflicted by that instrument. It was evidently inflicted by the clasp knife which was found open near the deceased. Henry Holland, M.D., of Lower Brook-street, exa• mined—l saw Sir Henry on Friday evening last, having been called in to attend Lady Webster. He then told me that he wished to consult me himself on the follow ing morning; I accordingly saw him on Saturday. He complained of general depression of spirits, and told me that he had had a fit in Paris. I noticed a great change in his manner from former years. He appeared much reserved, and it was with same difficulty I could obtain answers from him. The impression which I formed from my visit was, that his brain had undergone some marked alteration. His general condition, however, did not lead me to any apprehension of suicide ; and neither I nor the other medical gentlemen who met on Sunday considered that the state of his mind, though impaired, would justify placing him under any particular restraint. Metcalfe Babington, surgeon, of Chester-street, Gros venor-square, examined—l have known the deceased three or four years, and have attended him professionally during that time. I saw him by appointment on Sa turday last, on his return from Paris, and then noticed a very great change in his manner from the time of his leaving England. He complained of great de pression of spirits, appeared thinner, and his general habits were evidently much altered. He said his life was a bore to him, and that he wished to leave the world. He said he thought he should take a house in the Regent's-park, and have only a man and a woman to at tend upon him. lie gave me at the same time an in distinct account of a fit which he said he had had in Paris, but it was by no means clear to me that he had actually had any fit at all. He told me that he had very bad dreams constantly. I advised him to have some one to sleep in the same room with him. From my observation of him I afterwards told Lady Webster that I thought very unfavourably of his symptoms, and that he ought to be looked after. I subsequently saw Mr. Henry Web ster, who, touching his head, said he feared his father's brain was affected. I said it certainly was so, and that care must be taken of him. There were no specific di rections given not to leave the deceased alone, as Dr. Hol lend, Dr. Ashburner, and myself all agreed'that such a course would be calculated to excite him very much, and perhaps cause the very thing we were anxious to guard against. I fully believe, that although perhaps not in sane, the deceased was of unsound mind at the time of bis death. lam aware that he had an hallucination on the subject of the loss of his property. Otl •the sou- PRICE SD. turday night, when I saw him, he told me that I must attend him as a friend, for that be did not know if he should ever be able to pay me my fees. The age of the deceased (54 years) and his rank in the army (Lieutenant•Colunel, unattached) having been proved, - The CORONER, after a few remarks, said he thought it would be useless to pursue the case further, after the evidence given by the various medical gentlemen as ti the deceased's state of mind, and The jury assenting, immediately returned a verdict to the following effect:—" That the deceased, Sir IL Webster, died from the effect of wounds inflicted on him self while labouring under temporary insanity." The deceased was the second son of the late Sir God frey Webster, Bart., and brother to the present holder of that title; his mother was the late Lady She was the daughter and heiress of Mr. Richard Vassal, of the island of Jamaica, and married Sir Godfrey in 1786. The m arr i age was dissolved in 1799 by Act of Parliament, and in the same year she married Lord Hol land. Sir llt nry entered the army in ISIO, being then twenty years of age. In 1831 he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, but since ho attained his majority in 1826, would appear to have been on the unattached list. In 1815 he was nominated a Knight of Wilhem cf the Netherlands. This honour, it appears, was conferred in consideration of the services weich he rendered while acting as aide-de-camp to the Prince of Orange at Waterloo. In 1832 he was nomi nated a Knight Commander of the Tower and Sword of Portugal, and in 1835 received the order of that of San Bento d'Avis. In 1843 he received the only English title which he held, that of a Knight Bachelor by patent. He was decorated with a medal for Waterloo, and would, of course, have been entitled to the Peninsular one had he lived. The deceased married, some years since, the only daughter and heiress of the late Mr. Samuel Bed dington. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, APRIL 21.

GREAT FIRE AT 1311CIIAREST--WC have seen a private letter, which arrived last night from Leipsic, in which it is stated, that on the evening of the 13th an ex press came In front Vienna, bringing accounts of a great fire at Bucharest, in Wallachia. The fire had consumed a large portion of the city, but had not yet reached the quarter in which the warehouses of the principal merchants are situ ated, although several warehouses in the city had been burned down. The consternation in Leipsic was very great, and the next post was looked for with the deepest anxiety. Pro perty, we believe, is not insured in Bucharest. There are in Leipsic j us t now many purchasers from that city, and the intelligenc e w hi c h the express brought from Vienna, was that the bank ers there would not for the present accept any _ drafts ma de upon th em by Bucharest ;4 erebant& Z i l an. cheater &rpm& NAVAL INTELLIGtiVet. PORTSMOUTH.

Miss Fitzclarenes; attended by Brevet Major Harvey, ■ A.D.C. The distinguished party were escorted c ver the ship by Captain Pasco, who paid every respect to his i s n h t i e p r' es vv t. ith gallant visit or , sa l ut i ng h i m with 15 guns on leaving the Thiswhich m o h r e n i h n ad g hpreviouslyh ship x t p r r u e u s p s ed the guard sd a eep rd (comprising detachments of the 42d Highlanders, 43d Light Infantry, the 56 t h , 91st, and 97th Regiments), on the grand parade, for the first time, in the presence of numerous and brilliant assemblage of spectators. In a few days his Lordship will go on leave pending the re pairs of the Government House. At present his Lord ship resides and transacts all his official business at the George lintel. The news of the loss of the Thunderbolt stem-sleep, Commander Boyle, created a most lively feeling of ap prehension amongst all i n thi s neighbourhood who have relations or friends on board, as, although Lloyd's re ' ports no lives lost, it is feared, from the frightful nature of the seas where she has gone ashore, that a loss will inevitably have taken place either by the wreck or the endeavour to save some of her materials. She was a very fine steam sloop of the first class, being of 1,056 tons burden, and 280 horse power; built at this dock yard in 1841, on the design of Sir William Symonds, surveyor of the navy. Like the Sphynx, this was her first service at sea. She efts commissioned first on the 28th of November, 1842, by Commander G. N. Broke (son of the hero who fought the Shannon in her memor able engagement with the Chesapeake), promoted, after being three years in her, to the rank of captain ; her present commander succeeded to the appointment on the Ist of January, 1846. She has been absent from Eng land five years and fur months, during which time she has done her work well. She nas under orders for England to be paid off. The Geyser steam-sloop, Commander Brown, was ordered into harbour to coal for temporary service, which order she completed on Monday; but yesterday morning another order was issued for her to proceed with re plenishine; fuel, as her services will be wanted for a spe cial purpose. The Eurydice, 26, Capt. Talavera Anson, sailed from Simon's Bay for Algoa Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on the Bth of February. The defects of the Dee steam-transport, which were very great, there being nearly 50 plugs or patches in her boilers alone, have been, at the urgent order of the Admiralty temporarily repaired, and she has been coaled, watered, and made ready to proceed to Scotland with provisions, which she is now shipping. Tile Britannia, 120, received a new bowsprit and mizen-mast in the basin to-day. When the Recruit comes out, she will be docked to have her waterways repaired, and other defects made good, which will occupy about a month. A nautical mile has been measured, and is being marked out by sight posts, on the beach at Stokes' Bay, for steamers to test their rate of speed by. It was sug gested by Captain Sherringham, of the Dasher, and has been executed under the direction of Mr. Murray, Chie f Engineer of this dockyard, Mr. Charles Brown, Master Attendant, and Capt. James, Royal Engineer, Director of Works. WINDSOR CASTLE IMPROVEMENTS.—The comple tion of the extensive improvements of Windsor Castle, pro jected by his late Majesty King George the Fourth and his favourite architect, Sir Jeffery Wyattville, were commenced on Tuesday last, by the sale and demolition of the old houses, erected in the reign of Jaynes the First for the accommodation of five additional poor knights; but which houses, though they have long since fallen to decay, have been suffered to remain, blocking up all prospect from the Castle. and hiding a great part of the Castle, and the whole of th e Ch ape l o f St. George, from the surrounding country. At the special sug gestion of her Majesty and the Prince Consort these ruinous places have been sold by auction, and are now in a course of removal, the purchasers having contracted with the Com missioners of the Woods and Forests to have them there away by the 4th of May next. The space they hare occu pied will then be converted into a public terrace walk, in tended eventually to be continued all along the western front of the Castle wall, until it joins the celebrated North-terrace, erected by Queen Elizabeth, and so universally admired by all persons of taste. The next obstruction to the carrying out of this grand improvement is the mass of miserable huts, originally constructed in the reign of Edward 111., appa rently of mere lath and plaster, patched with old packing cases, and which have been so long suffered to block up and disgrace the great western entrance of St. George's Chapel, under the designation of the Horse -shoe Cloisters; and as these hovels are now in a state of miserable decay, and can not much longer serve for the dwellings of human beings, it is expected that the Dean and Chapter will consent to their almost immediate removal in furtherance of her Majesty's wish ; and in order that the much-desired improvement of the castle and chapel may not be wilfully impeded.
