This Society APPROPRIATES the WHOLE of the PRO FITS to the reduction of the Premiums of its Members, and this is UNDIMINISHED by AGENCY or COMMISSION, the business of this Society being conducted without incurring that expense. The effect of the principle of Mutual Assur ance, so carried out, is shown by the abatement of FORTY per Cent. declared for the ensuing year, upon the Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing, and which abatement has been computed on data justifying the expectation of the conti nuance of an equal rate of abatement, at least, throughout th 3 remaining term of life. This abatement of Forty per cent., the amount being laid out in a new Assurance, is equivalent to a bonus of one-third of the amount of the existing Policy.

Instead, of presenting us with a continuous story, and carrying forward one set of characters through a succession of inter-depen , incidents, it exhibits in the form of an autobiograuhy an en d. less variety of pictures of English experienee--,.',,i '.-erit being one of those waifs of fortune who, in th: e course of their lives, play many parts, and pass through P' ' , tercourse, from the way-side hostelri narrator grades of social in the nobility. In running throe motley history, the reade- will";:a the diversified scenes of this '' to the drawing-rooms of Gil Bias," and st y" more frequently of " Chrysal." The plan is nearly be occasionally reminded of ,_ t/. ...0 same, and the talent brought to bear upon it is mo,-- . of a similar order. The hero displays an extensive ae , - - ,Aaintance with the different classes lie depicts, shrewd ob servation, and an arch, quiet humour, that gives piquancy to the whole. The predominant merit of the work is, that instead of merely painting conventions, it ascends to the higher portrait ure'of individual character, which it draws with ease, freedom, and truth.—Atlas.

COURT 00 CommoN COUNCIL.--At the meet ing of the Court y esterda y , Mr. Anderton called th e a tt en ti on ewspaper, i n or d er t h at t h e of Lords, by cer t a i n o f t h e of the members to the attack which had bee n ma d e upon Al dermanworthy Alderman might have an opp or t un it y o f g i v i ng any explanation he might consider necessary. —M r . Harm er sa id, lie rejoiced in having the opportunity t o d eny i n t h e most em n uisheps Harmerl a I and r m r also .. the the T H i o m u House e in n phatic manner the imputations cast upon the paper with which he was connected. In that paper th e t enets an d doctrines of the Socialists had been uniformly denounced as impious and abominable. He then read extracts to prove hi s statement; and, after a complete refutation of the charges made against him, he concluded by saying that he adored and reverenced the Almighty with any as much s i ncer it y as man, not even ex cepting the Bishops of Exet er and London ; and he believed that in the exercise of charity to all men, and a desire to do good, he excelled them.—Mr. And er t on sa id t h at h e was per fectly satisfied with the Alderman's explanation, and he believed that it was satisfactory to the whole Court. A letter from Rome announces that the Duke de Bourdeaux purposes leaving that city in the course of a fort night for Goritz. The king and Queen of Naples are expected in Vienna soon. The Emperor is making great preparations to receive them. The Westminster Sessions commenced yester day morning, before Mr. Sergeant Adams, Chairman, and a full bench of Magistrates.

He left orders with the porter at the prison gate to stop all reporters. The terms of their admission, he gave them to understand, were that they should send him their names, and a certificate from th 3 editors of the papers they reported for. The Lord Chancellor of England, the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench (who is also grand coroner for all England), the Judges of the land, the Speaker (who presides over the grand inquest of the nation), admit reporters, without any previous stipula tion, to be present at, and to report, the proceedings that take place before them.

To an extension of such protec tion our first-rate manufacturers are looking with the deepest interest, and which extension the present Legislature will doubtless afford them. It may be observed that the Manufac tut ers are not alone interested in this important measure, a very large and highly-gifted body of artists, are sensibly alive to the importance of the question. Let the extension sought be granted, and the Manufactu r e r w ill b e ena b led to pay men of talent to make their designs, who are equally conversant with natural history as with the effects of colour and the proper adjustment of light and shade. Then the rising generation will be no longer offended with the pourtrayal of birds and in sects which never had being, or herbs and flowers which never grew. These remarks arc principally suggested by a private view of the NEW PATTERNS for the most costly carpets and furniture-hangings of Messrs. JACKSON and GRA HAM, of OXFORD-STREET, by whom artists of the first talents aro liberally engaged, and the result is in the highest degree creditable to the genius and manufacturers of England. But it may be repeated, some additional secur i ty ought to bo provided for these and like costly wares, which so soon as made are exposed to the most flagrant piracy. THE CALAMITOUS EFFECTS OF FIRE, from accidents, carelessness, or incendiarism, is enough to arouse the attention of every thinking mind.

GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY OF LAST NIGHT. CAPTURE OF KELAT. INDIA BOARD, FEB. 13, 1840. A dispatch has been this day received at the East India House, addressed by the Governor-General of India to the Secret Committee of the East India Company, of which the following is a copy : Camp at Bhurtpore, Dec. 12, 1839. I do myself the honour to forward copies of the dispatches noted in the margin, relative to the assault and capture of the fort of Kelat. 2. The decision, the great military skill, and excellent dis positions of Major-General Wiltshire, in conducting the opera tions against Kelat, appear to me deserving of the highest commendation. The gallantry, steadiness, and soldier-like bearing of the troops under his command, rendered his plans of action completely successful, thereby again crowning our arms, across the Indus, with signal victory. 3. I need not expatiate on the importance of this achieve ment, from which the best effects must be derived, not only in the vindication of our national honour, but also in confirming the security of intercourse between Sinde and Affghanistan, and in promoting the safety and tranquillity of the restored monarchy ; but I would n,4 omit to point out that the conduct, on this occasion;of Major-General Wiltshire, and of the offi cers and men under his command (including the 31st regiment of Bengal Native Infantry, which had not been employed in the previous active operations of the campaign), have entitled them to mare prominent notice than I was able to give them in my General Order of November 18 ; and in recommending these valuable services to the applause of the Committee, I trust that. I shall not be considered as going beyond my pro per province in stating an earnest hope that the conduct of Major-General Willshire in the direction of the operations, will not fail to elicit the approbation of her Majesty's Govern ment.—l have, &c. AUCKLAND. GENERAL ORDERS, By the GOVERNOR-GENERAL of INDIA; Camp. Deothanee, December 4, 1839. The many outrages and murders committed, in attacks on the followers of the army of the Indus, by the plundering tribes in the neighbourhood of the Bolan Pass at the instigation of their Chief Meer Mehrab Khan of Kelat, at a time when he was pro fesSing friendship for the British Government, and negotiating a treaty with its representatives, having compelled the Govern ment to directa detachment of the army to proceed to Kelat, for the exaction of retribution fro it that Chieftain, and for the execution of such arrangements as would establish future security in that quarter, a force under the orders of Major-General Willshire, C. 8., was employed on this service, and the Right Honourable the Governor-Ge neral,of India having, this day, received that Officer's re port of the successful accomplishment of the objects intruste3 _ to him, has been please Ito direct that the following copy of his dispatch, dated 14th ultimo, be published for general in formation. The Governor-General is happy to avail himself of this op portunity to record his high admiration of the signal gallantry and spirit of the troops engaged on this occasion, and offers, on the part of the Government, his best thanks to Major-Ge neral Wiltshire, and to the officers and men who served uu der him. By command of the Governor-General, T. H. MADDOCK, Officiating Secretary to the Government of India with the Governor-General. From Major-General Sir Thomas Willshire, K.C.8., to the Governor-General of India. Camp, near Kelat, Nov. 14, 1839. 'My Loan, —l. In obedience to the joint instructions fur nished me by his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Indus, and the Envoy and Minister to his Majesty Shah Shooja, under. data Cabool, the 17th September, 1839, deputing to me the duty of deposing Mehrab Khan of Kelat, in consequence of the avowed hostility of that chief to the British nation (luring the present campaign, I hare the honour to re port, that on my arrival at Quetta on the 31st ult., 1 communi. cated with Capt. Bean, the political agent in Shawl, and a ranged with him the best means of giving effect to the ^.".•tiers had received. 2. In consequence of the want of public C'•riage, and the limited quantity of commissariat supplies ht Quetta, as well as the reported want of foraga on the route to Kelat, I was obliged to dispatch to Cutch Gundava the whole of the cavalry and the greater portion of the artillery, taking with me only the troops noted in the margin, leaving Quetta on the 3d instant.* 3. During the march the communications received from Mehrab Khan were so far from acceding to the terms offered, that he threatened resistance if the troops approached his capi tal, I therefore proceeded and arrived at the village of Giranee, within eight miles of Kelat, on the 12th instant. 4. Marching from thence the following morning, a body of horse were perceived on the right of the road, which commenced firing on the advanced guard commanded by Major Pennycuick, her Majesty's 17th regiment, as the column advanced; and skirmishing between them continued until we came in sight of Kelat, rather less thin a mile distant. 5. I now discovered that three heiihts on the north-west face of the fort, and parallel to tb‘:: north, were covered with infantry, with five guns in pot='!..ton, protected by small parapet walls. 6. Captain Peat, e'hi e f engineer, immediately reconnoitred, and having repotted that nothing could be done until these heights were in our possession. I decided upon at once storm ing them simultaneously, and, if practicable, entering the fort with the fugitives, as the gate in the northern face was occa sionally opened to keep up the communication between the fort awl the heights. 7. To effect this object, I detached a company from each of the European regiments from the advanced guard with Major Pennycuick, her Majesty's 17th regiment, for the purpose of occupying the gardens and enclosures to the north east of the town, and two more companies in the plain, midway between them and the column ; at the same time I ordered three columns of attack to be formed, composed of four companies from ea -.;h corps, under their respective commanding officers, 3!:/„; j or Carruthers, of the Queen's, Lieutenant-Colonel Croker, her Majesty's 17th regiment, and Major Western, 31 :st Bengal native infantry, the whole under the command 'of Brigadier 13aumgardt, the remainder of the regiments formino, three co lumns of reserve under my own direction to move in support. 8. A hill being allotted to each column. - firieadier Stevenson commanding the artillery, moved quick' forw''ard in fi out to wards the base of the heights, an 'when within the required range, opened fire npon the infantry and guns, under cover of which the columns moved steadil„,/on, and commenced the as cent, for the purpose of carr- mg' the heights, exposed to the fire of the enemy s guns, v'etca had commenced while the co lumns of attack were fe jrm . i ng, 9. Bo` ore the r: eiumns reached their respective summits of the hills, the e-_,my, overpowered by the superior and well di rected fire 'of our artillery, had abaridoned them, attempting to carry off. their guns, but which they were unable to do ; at this moment it appearing to one the opportunity offered for the troops to get in with the fugitives, and, if possible, gain possession of the gate of the fortress, I despatched orders to the Queen's Royal and 17th regiments to make a rush from the heights for that purpose, following myself to the summit of the nearest, to ob servta the result ; at this moment the four companies on my I `,:ft, which had been detached to the gardens and plain, seeing the chance that offered of entering the fort, moved rapidly for-. Ward from their respective points towards the gateway, under a heavy and well directed fire from the walls of the fort and citadel, which were thronged by the enemy. 10. The gate having been closed before the troop moving towards it could effect the desired object, and the garrison strengthened by the enemy driven from the heights, they were compelled to cover themselves as far as practicable behind some walls and ruined buildings to the right and left of it, while Brigadier Stevenson having ascended the heights with the ar tillery, opened two guns under the command of Lieu tenant Forster, Bombay Horse Artillery, upon the defences above the gate and its vicinity, while the fire of two ?there, commanded by Lieut. Cooper, Shah's Artillery, was directed against the gate itself, the remaining two with Lieutenant Creed being sent round to the road on the left leading direct up to the gate, and when within two hundred yards com menced fire for the purpose of completing the blowing it open, and after a few rounds they succeeded in knocking in one half of it; on observing this I rode (lown the hill towards the gate, pointing to it, thereby announcing to the troops it was open; they instantly rose from their cover, and rushed in, those under the command of Major Pennycuick being the nearest were the first to gain the gate, headed by that officer, the whole of the storming columns from the three regiments rapidly following, and gaining an entrance as quickly as it was possible to do so, under a heavy fire from the works and from the interior, the enemy making a most gallant and determined resistance, disputing every inch of ground rip to the walls of the inner citadel. 11. At this time I directed the reserve columns to be brought near the gate, and detached one company of the 17th regiment, under Captain Darley, to the western side of the fort, followed by a portion of the 31st Bengal native infantry, commanded by Major Western, conducted by Captain Outram, acting as my extra aide-de-camp, for the purpose of securing the heights under which the southern angle is situated, and intercept any of the garrison escaping from that side : having driven off the enemy from the heights above, the united detachments then descended t 3 the gate of the fort below, and forced it open before the garrison (who closed it as they saw the troops ap proach) had time to secure it. 12. When the party was detached by the western face, I also sent two companies from the reserve Of the 17th, under Major Deshen, and two guns of the Shah's artillery, under the com mand of Lieutenant Creed, Bombay artillery, by the eastern to the southern face, for the purpose of blowing open the gate above alluded to, had it been necessary, as well as the gate of the inner citadel ; the infantry joining . the other detachments, making their way through the town in the direction of the citadel. 13. After some delay, the troops that held possession of the town, at length succeeded in forcing an entrance into the eiti dal, where a desperate resistance was made by Mehrab Khan at the head of his people, he himself, with many of his principal chiefs, being killed sword in hand; several others, however, kept up a fire upon our troops from detached buildings difficult of access, and it was not until late in the afternoon, that those that survived, were induced to give themselves up, on a pro mise of their lives being spared. • 14. From every account I have reason to believe the garrison consisted of upwards of two thousand fighting men, the son of Mehrab Kh an had been expected to join and that him from Norosky, with a further reinforcement; the inclosed return will show the strength of the force under my command present at the capture. 15.

M. 17th Regiment. 31st Bengal Native Infantry. Bombay Engineers. exceeded in strength what I had been led to mime front pre; vious report, and the towering height of the inner citadel, was most formidable both in appearance and reality. 16. I lament to say that the loss of killed and wounded on our side has been sece:e, as will be seen by the accompanying return ; that on the part of the enemy must have been great, but the exact number I have not been able to ascertain, several hundred of prisoners were taken, from whom the political agent has selected those he considers it necessary for the present to retain in confinement ; the remainder have been liberated. 17. It is quite impossible for me sufficiently to express my admiration of the gallant and steady conduct of the officers and men upon this occasion ; but the fact of less than an hour having elapsed from the formationof the columns for the attack, to the period of the troops being within the fort, and this per formed in the open day, and in the face of an enemy so very superior in numbers, and so perfeetly prepared for resistance, will, I trust, convince your Lordship how deserving officers and troops are of my warmest thanks, and of the highest praise that can be bestowed. _ _ 18. To Brigadier Baumgardt, commanding the storming co lumns, my best thanks are due; and he reports that 'Captain Wyllie, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General, and Capt. Gil land, his Aid-de-camp, ably assisted him, and zealously per. formed their duties ; also to Brigadier Stevenson, cominan the artillery, and Lieutenants Forster and Cooper respectively, in charge of the Bombay and Shah's artillery, I feel greatly in debted for the steady'and scientific manner in which the service of dislodging the enemy from the heights, and afterwards ef fecting an entrance into the fort, was performed ; the Brigadier has brought to my notice the assistance he received from Capt. Coghlan, his Brigade-Major, Lieut. Woosnam, his Aid-de-eamp,, and Lieut. Creed when in battery yesterday. 19. To Lieutenant-Colonel Croker, commanding her Ma jesty's 17th Regiment, Major Carruthers, commanding the Queen's Royals, Major Western, commanding the Bengal 31st Native Infantry, I feel highly indebted for the manner in which they co.iducted their respective columns to the attack of the heights, and afterwards to the assault of the town, as well as to Major Pennycuick of the 17th, who led the advanced guard companies to the same point. t:O. To Captain Peat, Chief Engineer, and to the officer* and men of the Engineer Corps, my acknowledgments are due. 21. To Major Neil Campbell, Acting Quarter-Master-Gene ral of the Bombay army, to Captain Ilagart, Acting Deputy Adjutant-General, and to Lieutenant Ramsay, Acting Assistant Quarter-Master-General, my best thanks are due for the able assistance they afforded me by their services. 22. From my Aides-de-Camp, Captain Robinson and Lieu tenant Halkett, as well as from Captain Outram, who volun teered his services on my personal staff, I received the utmost assistance, and to the latter officer I feel greatly indebted for the zeal and ability with which he has performed various duties that I have required of h;m upon other occasions as well as the . present . . . _ 23.

The betting yesterday afternoon, notwithstanding there was a very tolerable muster of subscribers, was small in amount, and unimportant in its consequences ; our report, thcre• fore, will necessarily be brief. Confederate retained the leadership for the Derby ; but so little, in reality, was there between him and the second choice ( Angelica), tilat one party was bold enough to take the Grey in an even bet of a thousand ; the highest offer against the latter was 15 to 1, and these odds, we have reason to believe, could not have been obtained to any large amount. Launcelot as before, and Theon a point worse, as was preyed by offers of 1,100 to 1,000 on Launcelot, and the same on the Ange lica, against him. St. Andrew was backed three or four times at 21 to I, and Ottoman at a point more ; Bok hara not mentioned. No other change in this race, audonly one in the Oaks, viz. a slight improvement in Teleta. For the 2,000 guinea Stakes Confederate and Angelica will be found at 5 to 1 each, and that the latter had the call was fairly tested by the non acceptance of several offers to back hiss at even against the leader of the Derby favourites. Ottoman was backed for a hundred points at 7 to I, and left off half a point in advance of it.
