" Early Rising" is the first article in this Number. It is written with the true spirit-of Old Richard, who indited the well-known proverb beginning " Early to bed and early to rise," and is illustrated by references to the happy results of the habits of Frank lin, Priestley, Paley, Bishops Burnet and Horne, and last and greatest the Duke of Wellington. The article on the use of Spectacles, a piece of domestic economy now almost universal. is worth attention. Those who have not too much money, also, would be benefited by reading the Editor's advice in pur chasing, brushing, cleansing and preserving clothes,which ehile it recommends neatness and cleanliness, inculcates at the same time economy, which is the most certain road to independence. There is an extract from a cu rious diary of the Duchess of Grafton from 1717 to 1722, which shows the great change which has taken place in the scale of domestic economy within little more than a century. The first item in the list is, " paid for two quarts of usquebaugh 14s. ;" another, " cutting her Grace's hair 10s. 9d. ;" and a third, " a pound of Bohea tea for Miss Banbury 1/. ls." J Chinaman then, we suspect, received very little S, ece silver from the •' barbarian eye." PATRON. His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX• VIGE-PATRONS. The Duke of Richmond Sir Eardley Wilmot, Bt..

Important and Salutary Improvements have been introduced into Life Assurance Practice by the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Company. The Policies or Contracts of Assurance are indefeasible and indisputable ; an advantage given only by this Company. The whole Profits of the Mutual or Participating Branch of Assurance are divided amongst the Assured of that Class, who are relieved from all responsibility ; a large subscribed Capital, and a numerous :and influential body of Proprietors, forming the best guarantee for the payment of claims, and enabling the Company periodically to distribute amongst the Assured those accumulations, which are to a great extent retained by Unpro prietary Mutual Offices from the existing Assured and their heirs, to form a guarantee fund fur future transactions. The lowest Rates of Premium, consistent with safety, are the Reduced or Non-participating Rates. They are intended for those who prefer an immediate saving to prospective accu mulations. The tables of Premiums, framed upon the date of Carlisle mortality, are so extensive that the Company are enabled to enter into every kind of transaction in which life forms the con tingency. One-half of the premiums may remain unpaid for seven years —affording a greater facility for loan transactions than any other plan which has been suggested—allowing a policy to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice—and entitling the assured at a future period, when loss of health may prevent him from ob taining a new assurance, to continue a policy for double the amount of the sum for which he has paid premiums. Naval or military officers, or others, requiring to go to foreign countries, or to be engaged in actual warfare, may be assured without extra premium, on a stipulation that a dednetion cor responding to the extra risk will be made from the sum assured when the same becomes payable. By this new mode of assurance the creditors of naval or mi litary men render the payment of their debts absolutely certain, and parties do not incur the trouble and risk of entering into a new a-rangement with the Company upon every change of foreign residence. The Company g-ant deferred annuities or pensions, to com mence at any defined age. The Company grant Loans, in connection with Assurance transactions, upon the usual securities, or upon Policies. A party having an interest in the life of the Assured does not lose the benefit of the Policy, although his interest shall have terminated before the d ea th of the Assured. ad l Policy becomes premium a s which he The ordinary rule that if a Cred i t or b e p a id hi s d e bt be fore the hheehalsospeasidthbeecbomeneefifot forfeited it h ed is Policy, n Po to the Office. This Company repudiates all such unfair ad vantages. Endowments are granted to Children contingent on their attaining a specified age, and may be contracted for, so that in the event of death before that age, the whole premiums will be returned, without interest. Sums assured may be made payable to the Assured them selves, at any specified age, or to their heirs or assigns, in the event of the Assured's death before that time. Medical Gentlemen are in all cases remunerated by the Com pany for their Reports. A liberal Commission allowed to Solicitors and Agents. PUI3LICATION S. Lately published 12m0., ss. cloth.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS THU RSDAY EVENING.) CHRONICL .—The Consol Market assumed more firmness to-day, there having been buyers at 91. Exch.! quer Bills have also advanced 11. on the premium, being quoted 193. to 21s. prem. The state of the sulphur question attracts very general attention in the city, and a strong feeling of dissatisfaction is expressed by the mercantile interest against the conduct of the No7.politan Government, for their infraction of the treaty of 1816. The energetic manner in which Lord Palmerston has demanded redress for the loss sustained by British merchants has givee general satisfaction, and it is trusted that the wrong-doers may see the wisdom of concession. Money is very easy to-day, and the impression is that it will soon be more so. The report that the East India Company have been lending on Stock is very generally be lieved, and the tone is altogether better. SUN.—The news to-day from the United States is not of a nature to give satisfaction to our mercantile or manufacturing interests. There seems but little pro bability of our receiving any large orders for our ma nufactures for some time to come, as the agitation on Banking affairs gains ground in the Union every day. There is one favourable symptom in the accounts re ceived to-day, and that is the increased activity in the grand corner-stones of American prosperity—Corn and Cotton. The old proverb says, " what's one man's meat is another man's poison ;" and unless the Ame ricans give us some opportunity of sending them return cargoes. we shall not have much cause to felicitate ourselves on the revival of their export trade, especially as the exchange on London had already been done as low as 1071. The result of an improved foreign trade is however, almost always, an extension of home consumption ; and to this law of supply and demand we must trust to enable us to ride safely over a troubled sea. There was a speculative purchase in the Reduced Annuities this afternoon, in addition to a large operation in Consols earlier in the day, which caused-the Funds to close as firmly , as they had opened in the morning. Consols for money left off at 90i, and for April at 91 ; Exchequer Bills at the advance to 21s. premium ; and India Bonds at 3s.' premium. The New 3} per Cents. were at 98i to e9i. The rise in Spanish Stock, owing to the success of Espartero at Castellote, would probably have been more decided, had not the fact of the Government at Madrid r a c r Shares last wdteeordne 66 being about to apply to the Cortes for authority to raise more money been fully confirmed in the accounts re ceived to-day. The current value of Spanish Active Bonds this afternoon was 271 ; Portuguese New Five per Cent. Stock improved to 34.1 for the 15th instant ; Co lombian Bonds were at 9,51 ; and Dutch Two-and-a call better. The London at 531. ;tend are.

Were we to object to it, that many of its essays are feeble, some of them un intelligible, and various communications from twaddling brethren admitted, which it would be better to throw into the fire, we might only add another to the many proofs existing of the facility of treating flippantly the pro foundest mysteries. But as the veil which enshrouds the Masonic Tabernacle hiss never been raised to allow us to have a peep at the glories within—as our nearest approximation to the discovery of the grand secret was once to toast Reform in a wine glass, which by stealth we abstracted from betwixt the finger and thumb of a Deputy Grand-Master, then in too happy a condition to be able to carry it to his head—we dare not pretend, on the strength of the Masonic intelligence we may have imbibed on that occasion, to judge of the intrinsic worth of such of the articles in this Number as appear to us chargeable with dulness. It is only fair, however, to observe, that; in the pages of this Review the purest morality, and the most extensive philanthropy, are con stantly inculcated. Differences of opinion are discussed with good temper, and an amiable regard to the feelings of others. The desire of improving their brethren in knowledge, and confirming them in virtue, seem to lw the chief aim of such of the contributors as assume the function of teachers. The verse contributions are very creditable to their authors. The " Royal Mason's Daughter' deserves to be sung in every Lodge in the British empire. NATURAL HISTORY OF QUADRUPEDS, Part 3.

Of all the posts, the penny post Is that which I delight in most, Since now my letters, few or many, Come with the friendly pre-paid penny. So, be they full of wit or phlegm, 211 y only tax is reading them. Thus, housemaids now can send their letters As free andfrank-ly as their betters ; And waft a sigh, in strains of Pilules, From kitchen fires as far as Indus ; Or launch their passion hot as coa!s,' To warm their lovers at the Poles. All hail, then, penny-letter trade, (The best reform the Whigs have made,) Whose flaky showers, like March-tide hai', O'ersprcad the earth by er'ry mail. PHILO.DENARIUS James Lightfoot and William Lightfoot were indicted for the wilful murder of Mr. Nevill Norway, of Wade bridge, merchant, on the Bth of February last. This case excited the most intense interest, in conse quence of the high character of the deceased, and the ge neral estimation in which be was held throughout the country. Thousands of persons flocked to the town as early as six o'clock in the morning ; the county ball was perfectly besieged. Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Rowe conducted the case fur the prosecution. The prisoners were undefended. As there was no cross-examination, it may be as well to condense a mass of evidence, and give it in a history of the case. Mr. Norway was a highly respectable timber and general merchant, residing at Wadebridge, about nine miles from Bodmin. In the course of his business be was in the habit or visiting the different markets in the neighbourhood, and in the Bth of February he attended the market at Bodmin. About four o'clock that afternoon he bed his purse in his hand, and was in the act of paying some money, when the prisoner William Lightfoot walked close by him, and must have seen what ho was doing. Shortly before ten in the evening, h e left Bodmin on his grey horse, accompanied by another person, who, however, left him after they had proceeded about three miles on the road. Mr. Norway pursued his course towards Wadebridge. A farmer of the neighbourhood shortly afterwards was going to the same village, and when about two miles from it he observed a grey horse on the road, saddled, iiittieut a rider. He tried at first to overtake it, but the horse struck into a gallop, and he gave up the race, but his curiosity vas excited, and upon meeting same men on the road, and making inquiry, they told him they thought it was Mr. Norway's horse. This induced him to call at hit. Norway's house, and he found the horse stand mg at ti e stable gate. The servants were called oat, 'pots of blood were upon the saddle, and they sallied forth in quest of their master, and found the body in a ditch by the road side, with a general and severe injury on the head and face, a wound on the chin, as if gunpowder had got in, and the whole of the front of the skull fractured in many places. Suspicion fell on the prisoner James Lightfoot, which led to a search of the premises, and a pistol was found with the lock broken off. Other circumstances led to his apprehension, and eventually his brother William was also taken into custody. In a short time William Light. foot said he was troubled in his mind and wished to un burden it, and a Magistrate having been sent for, he said, " I went to Bodmin last Saturday week, the Sth of Febru ary. On returning I met my brother James just up at the top of Dunmeer-hill. It was just come dim light. Something had been said about meeting. We came on the turnpike-road all the way till we came to the house near the spot where the murder was corn mittcd. We hid ourselves in a field. 111 v brother lurched' Mr. Norway down. My brother napptd a I pistol twice, but it did not go off. He then knocked bins with his pistol. Mr. Norway jumped off his horse and tried to run away, but he suddenly fell. My brother then struck him again; we left the body in the water by the side of the road, We took a purse with some money in it. 'Chore were some papers which my brother took and put in a field ; the purse and the money were hid away by me in illy garden, and afterwards I threw the purse over the bridge. My brother dragged the body across the road. We did not know who it was. When my brother snapped the pistol, Mr. Norway said, I know what you are about.' Wo went home across the fields, and were not disturbed by ny one. The police officer who apprehended the prisoners, and the turnkey of liodruia GacA, both swore tne Lightfoot' had made a confession to each of them that they were the mindelets. The Jury found both the prisoners Guilty, and they were condemned, without any hope of mercy being held out to them. NORTHERN CIRCUIT', LIVERPOOL, Anal. I.

They had been married fourteen years, but for the last four had lived aparti The prisoner urged the prosecutrix several times with much v.olence to let him ag‘in live with her. She always, howevs!r, determinedly refused. One Friday afternoon, tie last time he called, they again bad some conversation on the subject. This continued until it was tea-time, and as she was making some for herself she asked him to take some. lie assented, and while taking it he still con tinued to speak on the same matter. At last be said, " Well, how is this to be Mary Ann—do you intend to live with me ?" She replied, " No, I never intend to live with you again." ‘• What, never ?" he said. " No, never while I live," was the reply. She was at this time going past him to the other side of the room, when be caught hold of her, and pushed her by the shou:ders into a small iobby that Ird to the kitchen. He threw her down and knelt on her breast, taking out a clasp knife. He bowed her head forward on her breast, and felt round her ears. She cried out, " Oh, spare my life for the sake of my children." Ile replied, " No, you shall die now," and cut her acroFs the front part of the throat. She reeolleeteer nothing more until she found herself in the yard screaming. She was able on the Monday to appear before the ma gistrates. The jury brought in a verdict of Guilty with intent to murder, but strongly recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of the excitement under which he was suffering at the true.

Edward Brown, the leader of the Birmingham Char tists, whose case uas postponed from the last assizes, stood charged with sedition. He was attended by Messrs. Ju lian Harvey. Fussell, Wilkes, and others, chartists, and pleaded •' Not guil , y." Mr. BALCUT stated the case ; and called W. C. Chap man to prove certain expressions imputed to the defendant, and among others the following, at a meeting in the Bull rin,r, at Birmingham, on Ist March last ; the defendant said—" Arm yourselves and be ready, and then you will be prepared to rncct your enemies, whether they come from France, Germany, or Russia, or your own domestic tyrants." Speaking of the soldiers he said—" We have only to walk arm in arm and we could trample them under our feet." Brown, in his defence, said he never advocated any un conA:tutional doctrine, but only that the people bad a right to meet an unconstitutional force by force, and blow by blow. and concluded a long and very able address by call. ing on the Jury to acquit him. The Jury, after fire minutes' consultation, found him Guilty, and the Judge sentenced him to be imprisoned in the county gaol 1..;r eighteen calends: months. ANTI-NON-IN TRUSION. DUNDEE DISSENTERS. —The Non-intrusion agitation works admirably; what could Voluntaries effect compared with this? The whole country is in commotion, and the Morning Chronicle and other sage counsellors of the Mi nistry will speedily feel that their Correspondent " Scotus" is a blind leader of the blind. Ministerialists will find that the Dissenters of Scotland have more than the concern of on.loolerrs in the Kirk veto. They had better not go too fast or too far in the mire under such guides as have recently had the lead. Sir Henry Parnell, as well as Mr. Macaulay, should watch the signs of the times. Last Wednesday the Dundee Dissenters had invited the Rev. David King, from Glasgow, to lecture on the Non-Intru sion theme ; and they have resolved to hold a public meet ing next week, to which they have requested the attend ance of several other coadjutors in the work cf Anti-Non intrusion.—Scottish Pilot. PETITION AGAINST CHURCII EST.ABLISIIMENTS.—This petition, up to last night, had received no less than fourteen thousand signatures, which deafly shows how the prin ciples of real Non-intrusion have wrought their way into the public mind. The petition remains but a few days longer, and all who hate intolerance and ecclesiastical ty ranny should come forward without delay and sign the pc titiou. —lbid. CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—NON-INTRUSION.--.lt is Cur rently rumoured that communications have been received from high quarters in London, intimating that it is not the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce any mea sure with reference to the questions which now agitate the Church of Scotland. For the sake of the Government, we trust that they will persevere in abstaining florn anv attempt to legislate on this subject. Interference on their part would not only fail in satisfying the clerical law breakers, but would inevitably disgust the great mass of their firmest supporters in Scotland. —Edinburgh Mehly Chronicle. POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOINNALS. The Morning Chronicle of this day, alledini , to some remarks made by Lord Ashburton last night in the House of Lords, with respect to his change of opinion on the Corn-laws, observes It must be said in favour of Lord Ashburton, that he seldom if ever made a a`peech in which one half Of it did not contain an answer to the other half, so that we do not wonder that he should be unwilling to be answerable for particular opinions attributed to him in the reports of his speeches. He has always, indeed, held opinions very cheap, and unfortunately for him the plain Saxon character of his language left no doubt es to his meaning ; so that he had not the advantage of speakers like the late Lord Londonderry, for instance, who strung words together which no two men could agree in inter preting. Last night he gave something like an Tt dication of his return to his old slipperiness." —Thy: Morning Herald, referring to the speechesl of re the Corn-law Advocates in the Commons a i s i t , night, ndred mote marks as follows :—" Their task a t s waddle in which than usually difficult by theso indulged.

For that no inquiry is necessary. They who put forward this pretence say, that the grounds of those who o ppose change should made known, no; by speeches, but by evidence. We should be glad to know how a man is, by the evidence of other men, to give an account of the intellectual process' through which he has arrived at a certain conclusion ?

S:r John Col borne produce the rel.ellion ! Why, the rebellion had been prepared, and was ripening, for seven or eight pre ceding months, as is acknowledged in the official corre spondence. It had been arranged lung before with the M Menzies of Upper Canada, as we read in Nelson's in tercepted letter, and because Sir John Colborne. h.ld bravely and skilf u lly c rus h e d the insurrection, and hamshe yr. or hanged a few of its most flagitious perpetrators, t rs, Joseph Hume has the matchless impudence to atr from his l .e h ought not to have been rewarded, but dismissed command and punished." - WooLwicH.-1 - ler Majcsty's ar med steame - , Hermes, commanded by Lieut.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Q UEEN-SQUARE. 1 IMPORTANT DLCISION.--Mr. Tuck, coal merchant, of Pimlico, yesterday attended at this office to hear the deci sion of the Magistrate, on a charge which had been pre ferred by Lord Listowel against him, for having sent sacks of coals deficient in weight. On the 24th ult. a waggon-load of coals was drawn up to his Lordship's residence, and a ticket given in of seven tons, in seventy sacks of 2241b5. each. Best, the butler, desired that a sack of the coals might be weighed ; and on its being put on the machine, it was short of the weight, as were also the five next following. The carman then threw another sack on the machine with so nuch violence as to break it. As the butler was determined to weigh the remainder, he was told that another weighing machine would be brought with the second waggon; but on the ap pearance of that team within e 0 or 100 yards of th• house, it was drive❑ assay, and no more of the coals shot. In answer to this, it was set up that Lord Listowel bad been recommended to have a room of coals, and had as sented to the proposal ; that it was not necessary to weigh where coals were supplied in bulk ; and that the ticket had Leen made out through the carelessness and inattention of the desk. Three witnesses were called to prove that a roora of coals was sent, and that, as far as regarded the weighinc, there were but two sacks abort instead of six. GREGORIE dismissed the case, on the objection that his Lordship's servant was not a witruss within the mean ing of the Act, but declined giving any opinion as to the offence ; or the answer set up.
