N o. 17 ) 022. LO N' DON, ATION AL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU -1 RANCE SOCIETY. OFFICE, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON. Capital 500,0001. Empowered by Act of Parliatnent. The system of Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by the Na tional ban Fuiul Life Assurance Society, for the better advance meat of the objects of Benefit and Friendly Societies, having received the approbation of a considerable body if the active members and officers of those institutions, and the Directors of the National Loan Fund So lety having been urgenqy solicited by them t , establish a Branch Office to connexion with those Societies and the Operative ' Classes generally, in which their services might be successful) , en ga:zed, a Committee has been sanctioned by the Directors to open c inunanication with the iliff.rent S 'dales, with the vi .se of more ilTetually d sseminating the valuable benefits am.zrgst the indus trious classes, and a pia, I his bun •rodosed With that object. ADDRESS OF TUE COMMITTEE. . Many praiseworthy but in, ffectual ettempts have been made to bring within the scope and operation of the laws of nue tality and money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal m.] icons reguletleg their distribution, having for their ..bject either immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examleation, however, will demonara . c that the con struetion of these ass .ciatione or societies is defective; and that in stead if affording an easy access and a free choice of investment, which should be the erieilege of every one, they confine too nar rowly the channel threueli which a benefit can :dine be secured; and, in propor ion as their action is circemscribed and embarrassed, their utility is dented. • For example, it is not to every Individual, or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision in ease of sickness is an object of such Importance as to call for a pecuniary sacrifice ; wide to others such a provision appears more attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness Is a risk against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state of things there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, Instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more contingent or deterred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. It is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of two dissimilar funAlons, and by confounding a sick allowance and an annuity fund in one and the self same payment, that much of the evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. No mechanism can be So perfect for the management of a sick ,- ens-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asios ciation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it. But the same krfection, or the same security, is seldom attainable where a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where results are to bear out calculations, money investment being in general beyond the experience of the industrious classes. For these reasons it is clear that the funds destined for a provision in sickness should be kept entirely distinct trom.the fund intended as a provision for old age : let. Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently connected, do not depend on the same calculation. 20. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing for probable sickness on themselves. 3d. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old age, continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and indiv dual irre sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of such a contract, that when undertaken on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial isodie.. 4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when united in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi nish still more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en danger the one for the sake of the other. Impressed with these emivictions, and with an intimate knowledge of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here unto attached, have had several meetings, with a view of proposing or adopting a remedy for those and other evils ; and in this manner to give an additional force to the principles of brotherhood, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding them from the risks of sudden dissolution. After much diligent search arnom,st the combinations ingeniously proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal In simplicity and comprehensiveness of design; as well as forethought and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan proposed by the National Lo':n "'unit Life Assurance Society. It is ' true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex pediency of abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the other pa: t of the plan itself. without being fully salsfied that the conven ence and safety of Friendly and Lienefit Societies will be greatly secured and consulted, by separating the payment of a sick allowance from an annuity for old age. A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to them for the establishment of a separate of for the transaction of business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the In dustrious classes in general. resolutions have been entered into, con stituting the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its number, for the promulgation of the benefits contained in the an nexed prospectus, under the guarantee of the Capital of the Society, and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to the present day has adequately secured to them.

STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, APRIL 6.—The measures recently adopted by the Bank of England, and alluded to in the Guardian of Saturday last, have entirely changed the tone of our market. The refusal on the part of the directors to make advances on the deposit of Img-dated paper in the hands of bill-brokers, having in creased the difficulty of discounting or negotiating paper from India, the purchases which were making for that ,riarket have been arrosted ; and though prices are tolerably firm, the demand h as b een ver y li m ited, e,pe cially for yarns, in % , thich the b us i n e ss done has been xceedinOy small. It i s un d erstood that some o f t h e •pinnerswho have been recently workinc , short time are about to close their mills altrige, her. Indeed, the recent advance in the cotton market, unattended by any cor r-sponding increase in the prices of goods and yarn, places both spinners and manufacturers in a worse con dition that at any former period; and unless some fa vourable change should speedily take place, a very large ceisation of employment may be expected. At present there seems no prospect of a decline in the cotton mar ket. Indeed, yesterday, there was considerable excite ment at Liverpool, in consequence of the arrival of later news from the United States by way of Havre; from which it appears that there had been a decided falling off in the arrival of cotton at the ports daring the week ending the 10th March. At the close of the preceding week, the excess of receipts over those of the preceding year was 58,000 bales; but on the 10th the account stood thus:— 1847 1846 1,298,189 1845 1,616,713 It therefore appears that the deficiency in the last week's receipts, as compared with the corresponding week of the preceding year, was no less than 35,000 bales. The va riation of a single week seems a rather slender founda tion for a reviv a l o f s p ecu l at i on; b ut, i n th e p resen t sen sitive state of the cotton market, very small causes are sufficient to produce either an advance or a decline in prices. ROCHDALE, MONDAY APRIL 5. —The depression in the flannel market sti;ll continues,' and the business transacted in wool has been upon a very limited scale. Some of the extensive buyers have not attended ; but a few of the large manufacturers have been purchasing in anticipa tion of the Government orders. ~IALIFAX,SATDRDAY,APRIL 3. —ln the piece hall to-day, there was but a slender attendance of buyers, and few goods changed hands ; but we understand that there is rather more doing in the warehouses. There is an improve ment in the demand for yarn ; and spinners are unwil ling to accept contracts for future deliveries, of any amount, at old prices, though an advance can scarcely yet be obtained. As to long wool, in super qualities there is a good demand, with a slight improvement in price. Low qualities remain as before, though the stock is coming down in the local markets. Its short wool there is no alteration. • LEEDS, TUESDAY, APRIL 6.—There has been a fair business doing to •day at our cloth halls, and some ex tensive purchases were made last week in middle fine cloth ; so that the improved feeling of .our markets iu fully supported. Foreign wools sell easier than for some time past, but prices rule proportionably low.

She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops al the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and wevent 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 proauct of the Most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing )(lour removes headache and makes it a most nqpessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the erown of the heal ; if vary bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air oil ehildrea's heads in a few appplications. 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.

A va4 improvement in agriculture was Lrought about AGRICULTURE IN FRANCE. by tde 'evolution of 1789, which by abolishing tithes, in in ordaining an co eat ision of le....ding to the sale of the imin.lise proi.A..rties of the clergy and n pwr ur,eies att.on:zst chit iron esseffii,..hy churl -Ed the curr.iti :us „ f d property, rend-rit,g it rn & :re free it was impossibl e for agri and a-c ss:ble. to the class p-rsons ho wet e most ca 'n the new career that kid But. during the pable of cultivating it to advaniage• the consulate, c c i t i l iz r i e sio t, t ) ; s t o u i a i.: tl ( !e I r r e , %; g o r lt , i s ti s ol i t been fTentd to it; under the dir , t•tory, and :he empire, it hal fewer difficulties to coistend •L It was then dirt eted and encour ag .,,,i by • one theo..etically and pru; t;e,lly— Prareo:s dun Neuf erat, an, to whom no are indeLted for tho establii,hrnent of dipro:Aua! nu-series. Na poleon also shoed that he was disposed to encourage it, by directing the formation of several agricultural socie ties, enriching tine' enlarging the national garden, and creating several botanical or Eunomidal gardens. Still the wars of the empire retarded its progress. Its ad vance was more rapid after the restoration brought peace to France, and the old officers of the empire, turning their swords into ploughshares, ahed en their new pro fession the Mat of that which they had left; whilst they also introduced new modes of culture, which had come under their notice in foreign countries. It was during this period that the school of Forestry was founded at Nancy is 1824, under Louis XVIII., aid that the society of horticulture was formed under the patronage of Charles X., during who,c reign were also promulgated the Forest Code, and that in regard to river fishings. But the fallen dynasty being suspected of the design of re-establishing the aristocracy ()Nile soil, found, itself hampered 'in carrying out measures which would. hare ' • been favourable to agriculture.., Since the revoluti on o f 1830. . greater freedom; of aaion, has hese *snaked; and it is *ince then that it h as ma d e them ost ranid " • - •1 vasitiee. • Ifs- 'calogressiai been sueb.shice - produce has b e e n i ncrea s e d f ort y per cent. The gtest " share in this increa se i s a tt r ib uta bl e to the subdivisio greatest share in this increase is attributable to the subdlyjsjos of the soil among a greater number of persons, who culti vate it, if not with greater science, at least with more energy, and a stricter regard to economy, —to the sale of the properties of the emigrants—to the reclamation of waste lands—to the general cultivation of potatoes, brought about chiefly by the influence of Parmentier— to the ameliorations in the brei.ds of live stock, and the rearing of domestic animals—to the great increase of Merinos—and finally to the exertions of scientific agri culturists, especially Mathew de Boinbasle., to propagate sound agricultural doctrines. At the present day the onward movement of agriculture continues to take place on all the points of the territory, and is perhaps more rapid than in any other country. A FEW THINGS THAT OUGHT TO BE KNOWN ABOUT THE NEW COUNTY COURTS. The jurisdiction of the Court extends to debts to the amount of 20L, and to hurts and wrongs of all descrip tions where the damages are not laid above 51. Plaints of ejectment for rents under 501. may also be brought before the Court. The following is a list of the Court fees on entering plaints.

Ile must apply at the office of the Court to enter a plaint in a book to be kept there. If the sum be above 61., he must deliver as many copies of the particulars of his demand, or cause of ac tion, as there are defendants. The plaintiff on entering the plaint will receive from t . .e clerk a note, which mut be produced on taking any jmom -y out of Court, or he must procure the order of the udge for thqt purpose. The clerk will fill up the summons with a copy of the particulars. Every summons must be served ten clear days before the holding of the Court at which it is returnable, and must Lr urvi d personally, or left with some person at defendant's dwelling-hous e or place of business ; but where it has not been served personally, and the de fendant does not appear, it must be proved - that the ser vice has come to his knowledge ten clear days before the return. I the defendant pays any money into Court he must do so five clear days before the return of the summons. If plaintiff accepts the sum so paid in satisfaction, he must give the clerk and the defendant a written notice of it three clear days before the return of the summons. The action shall then be discontinued, and the plantiff shall not be liable to any further costs. In default of the notice, the action will proceed ; and if the plaintiff do not appear at the hearing, he will be liabl e t o p ay t h e defend ant ' s costs. BY A DEFENDANT. In case he has any set-off, he must give notice thereof in writing to the clerk, and deliver him two copies of the particulars thereof five clear days before the return of the summons. The like notice must be given of any special defence of infancy, coverture, statute of limitations, or his dis charge under the bankrupt or insolvent laws. In debts exceeding 54 the party requiting a jury must give two clear days notice to the clerk before the return of the summons. When an order is made for payment of money by in stalments, they aro to be paid at the clerk's office, at such periods as the Court shall order; and if no order be made as to the periods of payments, the first instal ment is to become due at the expiration of one calendar month from the day of making the order, and the suc cessive instalments will be payable at intervals of one month from each other. Facilities are provided for enforcing claims by or against executors and administrators. A defendant can be examined as well as his wife. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.

WHITE CONDUIT HOUSE TAVERN. - RICHARD ROUSE, with deep gratitude for all past favours, begs to inform his Friends and the Public, that his Summer Arrangements for the Reception and Accommodation of large or small DINNER PARTIES, are now complete, and most respectfu ly solicits a continuation of the ho7.our of their patronage. The abundant supply and the quality of all dinners provided by R. Rouse, and his publicly acknowledged superior mode of serving them up, having given such en ral satisfaction to his patrons, he begs to call the attention of Stewards and Managing Committees of every public dinner, to the near distance from the (ity, the central and airy situation, the conveniences and capabilities of the White Conduit House Tavern, the certainty of cheap conveyances, at all hours, to every part of the metropolis ; and in the event of unfavourable weather, more covered ground and premises than any other tavern in England—advantages certain to insure a more numerous attend ance of the friends and supporters of their respective societies, and a corresponding addition to the funds of their several benevolent and praiseworthy institutions. THE IRON TRADE. WOLVERHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY EVENING.--TO day the second of the quarterly meetings of the above trade was held at the Swan Hotel in this town, and was nu merously attended by the representatives of all the large houses in the neighbourhood, and also by many gentle men from a distance. It was reported that iron is at present in great demand, and many good orders on hand. There was consequently no attempt to reduce the prices, which stand as follow:—Pig iron, 51 to Si. 10s.; railway iron, 101. 10s.; and bar, 101 The following notice of the present state of the trade is from the Birmingham Gazette of Monday : " A general expectation seems to prevail that, exclu sive of railway supplies, a large drain upon our stocks of iron will take place on the return of the almost innume rable vessels now arriving in our ports with cargoes of bread-stuffs. These stocks are by no means accumulat ing under the present demand, although an increase of produce in the manufacturing department has been car ried out to a great extent—as far indeed as the supply of materials will allow. This expectation, combined with the existing pressure of orders, imparted a tone of cheer ful feeling at the preparatory meeting at the' Hotel, Dudley, last week, when a resolution was passed unani mously to the effect that the prices of iron should remain the same as last quarter. It appears, therefore, pretty certain that the full nominal price for manufactured iron, he'd the slight advance upon pigs that was established last quarter-day, will bi? c asily sustained during the ap proactiinz quarterly meetings; and, under the adverse position of the general m,rcantile interests of the country, the satisfactory maintenance of existing prices may be considered equivalent to an advance under ordi nary circumstances, thus justifying the views hitherto taken by ourselves and many others, of the prospects of the trade, and the propriety of being provided with sup plies of materials in anticipation of any movement that might take place of an upward tendency. An uneasi ness among the workmen in the Welsh districts has been manifested, and in a slight degree has contaminated this neighbourhood; but it has been met by determined mea suresaw7ilythgtelemerparlosaptetcemt potf tmeordeemmaodderhaitgeheerhawrgagesesfowrill: of self-protecti on on t h e part of the mas t e rs, and pro visions, and the sum mer season at hand, we d o no t think made." and o i I f; i t a h m e B R a . nßkoolifi sons; , England E sci for ..

Dur i ng on e night a heavy fall of snow took pl ace which covere d the plain to a depth of several inch es . " Upon this pure carpet," says the writer, " there rested next morning thousands of large masses of snow, which contrasted strangely with its smooth surface." These occurred generally in patches (rom one acre to a hundred in extent, while the clusters were often half a mile asunder. The fields so covered looked as if they had been scattered over with cart loads of manure, and the latter covered with snow; but on examination the masses were all found to be cylindrical, like hollow fluted rollers, or ladies' swan down muffs, bearing a strong resemblance to the latter. The largest measured was 34 feet long, and 7 feet in cir cumference. The centres were nearly but not quite hollow, and by placing the head within when the sun was bright, the concentric structure of the cylinder was apparent. They did not occur in any of the adjoining pscisties, and were limited to a space of about five miles. The first idea as to the origin of these bodies was, that they had fallen from the clouds, and portended some .direful calamity. But had they fallen from the atmos phere, their symmetry and loose texture must have been destroyed. The writer havinc , examined th em , was soon convinced that they had been formed by the wind rolling up the snow, as boys form snow-balls. Their round form, concentric structure, fluted surface, and position with respect to the weather side of eminences proved this. And also from the fact of their lying lengthways, with their sides to the wind ; and sometimes their tracts were visible in the snow for twen t y or thirty yard s i n the windward direction, whence t he y had evidently ga thered up their concentric laye rs. ARSON.—C OMMITT AL OF THE INCENDIA RY . ---E LT, APRIL 6.—At the Petty Se s s ions, held at the Crown Inn ha i rt h n a , I Saturday,n a'nd on other loc a li ty of the _ county magistrates, the Rev. H . F ardell, charman, Sarah M unson underwent a final examination on the ch arge of having wilfully fired the town on the mo rnin g of the 16th of la s t month. The prisoner was see n in the barn a short period before the outbreak, and from other circumstances the Bench decided on committing her for trial at the ensuing summer assizes. During the i nvest i • gation a son of the prisoner, Josiah M Munson, Wh o was acquitted at the last assizes at Cambridge on a c h arge of firing some buildings in the town in the early part of the last winter, was waiting outside the inn to hear the re sult of the proceedings against his mother, when the magistrates ordered him into the room. On entering, Mr. Wilkin, a solicitor, immediately accused him with setting fire to a stack of straw on the Ist of N ovember, 1846, the property of Thomas Peck, of Soham. Evi dence in support of the charge was then gone into, and the magistrates determined on sending him back to his old quarters for trial. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTU..WESTERN RAILWAY.—LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.—We are sorry to announce that as the express train, which left London at 5 P.M. yesterday, was proceeding to Liverp oo l , i t got off the rail at Winsford. No serious damag e w as sus tained. All the passengers, we are glad to learn, escaped unhurt ; but t h e engine-man has been very severely injured, and it is uncertain whether he will re cover. It is thought that his back is broken. The cause of the accident is at present unknown ; but no doubt it will be thoroughly sifted by the directors and the chief officers, who.have ever manifested the utmost vigilance care, and caution, since the line was first opened for public trails. Ny APRIL 9, 1847. TRADE IN CHINA. There has been issued, in pursuance of the order of the House of Commons of Jan. 26, a copy of orders, ordinances, rules, -and regulations concerning the trade in China. The follivving is an extract there, from of much interest : SIR JOHN DAVIS TO THE CHINESE MINISTER. jire subjects mercantile Victoria, licmg-liong, Jan. 22, 1846. I have had the honour to receive your Excellency's note respecting the difficulties attendant on opening the city of Canton to 13ritish merchants. h tl f la c t ar " ry ß i r h i g tis h h h s t u he b In the Treaty of ganking, the second article states th gepipuror:faahnmi pursuits, si without at hn a gh n h d h ta hi esta blishments shall be allowed to reside, for the purpose t le o s n t , a A ti, n n o y r ,o restraint,. cho v a . t foo t , he cities and towns of Can- Now, the treaty has already been equitably fulfilled at four of these ports, and Canton remains the only exception. Even at Foochow foo, where difficulties were last year urged exactly similar to those alleged regarding Cantor), your Excellency's Government has enforced the provisions of the treaty. In the first article of the Treaty of Nanking, it is stated that the subjects of our two Governments re spectively "shall enjoy full security and protection for their persons and property within the dominions of the other." It is a matter of high satisfaction to reflect that at four of the ports the greatest security and tranquil lity prevail. Even at Foo-chow-foo, where I had last year so much reason to complain, the people have been brought, in consequence of my representations, and by means of proper examples, to behave with perfect correctness towards foreigners. But, unfor tunately, at Canton the evil is far from being confined to a mere exclusion from the city. Your Excellency knows that the Vice-consul himself, a public officer, was wantonly and outrageously assaulted on the opposite side of the river, and no redress whatever has yet been afforded for that and another similar instance reported to me by the Consul. Your Excellency's long experience of public life must convince you that such a state of things cannot continue. At Canton was the origin of those troubles which were happily terminated by the peace ; and it is my wish for the continuance of our present friendly relations that makes me desirous to urge in the least unpleasant manner, and before it is too late, the com pletion of treaty engagements at Canter]. In the twelfth article of the Treaty of Nanking it is expressly provided, that " the islands of Koolangsoo and Chusan will continue to be held by her Majesty's forces until the money payments and the arrange ments for opening the ports to Briti s h merc h an t s be completed.' In July, 1843, your Excellency addressed the an nexed paper to my predecesso r , distinctly admitting the justice of opening the city of Canton in common with the others, and solemnly engaging that it should be done. I have myself repeatedly pressed this en gagement on your Excellency, and now urge it with the authority of my Government. Koolangsoo has already been delivered up; and her Majesty's forces will evacuate Chusan the moment some arrangement has been effected according to the treaty. Your Excellency is aware that scarcely any buildings whatever have been constructed at Chusan, in antici pation of its speedy evacuation. Adverting now to your Excellency's last note, the tumult in which the rabble attacked the Prefect of Canton's house is publicly and universally known to have originated in the undue severity exercised by that officer on an individual who impeded his way, and not in any rumoured attempts of foreigners to enter the city. I have gone to an extreme length in prohibiting British merchants and others from the exercise of their just and admitted rights. But even supposing that such a tumult arose from a mere ru moured attempt of foreigners to exercise a right secured by treaty, this only proves the extent of the evil to be remedied. The control of Chinese subjects belongs exclu sively to your Excellency's Government. I have only to require for British subjects those privileges and that protection which have been so often urged, and so long postponed—and having now received positive instructions from my Government, I cannot do otherwise than be guided by them. I take this occasion to renew to your Excellency the assurances of my highest consideration. J. P. DAVIS. (True copy) ADAM W. EMSLIE. COMMISSIONER KEYING T 3 SIR JOHN DAVIS. (Translation.—Extract.)._ JULY, 1843. As to the free entry into Canton, the two nations are now at peace, without the slightest ground for jar or altercation • what difference, th ere f ore , can there be.betwe en the inside and th e ou t s id e o f the city? When, too, Icingpo, Foochow, Shanghae, &c., may be entered, why should Canton be solitary in this respect ? The evil is that the temper of the Canton population is so unlike that of the Chekiang and Kiangnan people. The former, since they have felt the misery and disasters of war, have been filled with consternation; and, unsettled in mind, they are easily accessible to doubts and suspicions. The High Commissioner, on his first arrival at Canton, issued a proclamation earnestly and clearly ex horting them, and at that time hoped that the popular mind was becoming by degrees quieter. But, when returning from Hong-Kong, with a mind fully decided on inviting, the Plenipotentiary to conference there, that he might in some measure exhibit his feelings towards him, he was to his astonishment saluted with representations from one Ho-Yushu, who, with more than eighty other of the -gentry, joined in presenting addresses against his doing so, at the offices of himself, the High Commis sioner, and of all the principal offices. Though the High Commissioner admonished them face to face, and refused to receive their addresses, yet, observing day by day the actual disposition of the people, he finds their suspicions and surmises still unremoved. The High Commissioner has now, in conjunction with the Governor-General and Governor, commanded all local magistrates and other officers to adopt measures for inculcating a better spirit. And he only waits till the port is opened and commerce in progress, when all parties se ttli ng i nto a state o f quiet, they shall meet together to consult within the city, whenever business may call them thither. If there be the slightest falsehood in this, may the Highest regard it ! POPE PIUS THE NINTH. To him who now wears the tiara a noble mission is confided. Gregory the Sixteenth, with all his re sistances, prejudices, and alarms, belongs to the times that were. Pius the Ninth has entered upon his high position with a true appreciation of the wants—the claims of the age. If he can resist the pernicious influences that will beset him, there will be no bounds to his popularity and power, not only in the States of Italy, but throughout Catholic Christianity. His disposition to advance will be favourably contrasted with the determination to stand still, which was the law of his predecessor Italy wants a Sovereign who shall be the recipient of the public love, and Rome ha s still links enough binding her to all the States around to give an intelligent Pontiff an immense authority. The other day I received from an Italian lady a letter written on a sheet, at the top of whi c h, engraved i n go ld, was a portrait of the pre sent Pope. "See !" said she, "it is thus we commu nicate with one another, thus that we convey our gra titude for what the holy father is doing —our ex pectations of w h a t h e st ill may do. " Under the guidance of a cultivated and civilised spirit, Rome itself may awaken from its slumbers. It has still within it some of th e i n t e ll ectual elements which made it great a n d g l or i ous. L et any man cross the city into the Trans-Tiberian quarter (Tras tavere), and watch the countenances of those who still represent the citizens of ancient Rome —that portion of the population which is believed to have escaped the fusion which the various races which have from time to time invaded, possessed, and peo pled the Italian provinces ; in the whole of that community, in the women especially, ha will find much to admire, and will not easily believe that any great degeneracy can have corrupted such a noble race. And it may be laid down as a safe posi tion, that where sound minds and fine physical powers are preserved, there is no cause to despaor of the re demption of nations. The seed of greatness have not been wholly trampled down in Rome itself— there is still fire in the ashes.—Dr. Bowring, in How itt's Journal. Low TIDE IN THE THAMES. — Yesterday afternoon the ebb tide fell unusually low in the Thames, and many of the above-bridge steamers and craft grounded in the customary navigable channels of the river. From the shallowness of the water, steam-vessels were unable to bring up alongside the floating piers. At the Westmin. ster-bridge steam boat pier, Surrey side, three small steamers were aground at the same time, to the great consternation of the numerous passengers on board. The German newspapers state that Professor Schonbein, the inventor of the cotton powder, has dis covered a new composition which produces the sam e effects as the inhalation of ether, w ithout Causing any danger. The nature of the new i nvention is not de scribed. ACT TO FACILITATE THE SALE OF ENCUMBERED ESTATES 1N IRELAND. A Bill with the above title has been introduced in the Lords by the Lord Chancellor; subjoined is an abstract of its provisions : CLAUSE 1. Declares that the object of the Act is to "grant facilities for the sale of estates situate in that cart -of Great Britain and Ireland called Ireland, which may be charzed with incumbrAnces, or subject to trusts author'sing or requiring ;" end the fol lowing words shall be taken in the extended or res tricted sense expressly attached to them in this clause : !

It is de clared that the Act shall operate as well with respect to any estate or incumbrance. created before as after the passing of the A:t. - - 2. Under the provisions of this Act the owner of any 'land or estate in land in Ireland subject to in cumbrance, may (subject to the approbation of Court) contract for the sale of a part of it, freed from such incumbrance; any owner or incumbrancer may, without having so contracted, apply for sale of whole or part of such land or estate; if an incumbrance affect less than the whole estate of the owner, but affect an estate carved out of it of not less than fifty years unexpired at the time of contract or sale, the power of sale shall extend to the whole estate. 3. The owner or incumbrancer contracting for sale, or desirous to sell, may apply to the Lord Chancellor of Ireland to confirm the contract or sale, the petition and all subsequent petitions in the case being enti tled ex park the petitioner "in the matter of the Act for facilitating the sale of encumbered estates in Ireland." 4. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland, with the ad vice and Consent of the Master of the Rolls, may make rules or orders for carrying this Act into effect; the rules and orders to be laid before Parlia ment. 5. Fie may, with the advice and consent, alter or rescind former rules or orders. 6. Upon presentation of the petition, the Court may, without the attendance of counsel, refer the same to a Master in Chancery, who shall inquire into the particulars and report. 7. Such land may be sold freed from her Majesty's title, as authorised by 4 and 5 Wm. IV. c. 92. 8. All laws, rules, orders, and discretionary power, and practice in force with respect to proceedings in court for fore-closure or redemption of a mortgages and under a decree for sale of estates for payment of encumbrances or debts, not inconsistent with this Act or any rules made under it ; the court may apportion costs as it thinks fit, and order surplus moneys to be invested in land for the benefit of parties entitled to them; and all persons becoming parties are to be sub ject to the jurisdiction of the court. 9. When a petition for sale is presented by an in cumbrancer, the court may allow the owner time to ascertain the validity of the debt. 10. Proceedings before the court under this Act to be by petition or motion in a summary way ; not to abate or be suspended by death or transmission of in terest; parties aggrieved by report of Master are not compelled to take exceptions. 11. In case of death or transmission of interest any person interested may apply to the court to carry on proceedings. 12. When upon a petition a reference shall have been made to the Master, he shall cause an advertise ment, announcing the petitioner's name, and describ ing the land or estate contracted for or desired to be sold, tc be inserted at least once two previous weeks in whatever daily or other public journals he pleases, and fixing a day for entering upon a consideration of the matter. 13. No error in such advertisement shall vitiate the proceedings. 14. Before proceeding the master shall cause notice to be given to all persons having interest in the sub ject of inquiry. 15. All parties claiming an interest in the subject of the inquiries may appear, and the master shall de termine what parties have a right to take part in the proceedings; the master's omission to give notice not to vitiate proceedings. 16. Parties disallowed to attend by the master may apply to the court against his decision within twenty one days, or if the court is not sitting, after giving notice within twenty-one days to the party petition ing for sale. 17. Where there is only one incumbrance the court shall not direct a sale without consent of the incum brancer, unless it consider the produce sufficient to pay the principal and arrears of interest, or sufficient (if the incumbrance is a re-purchasable annual charge) to pay re-purchase, arrears, and costs. 18. Where there is more than one incumbrancer, the first shall, for the purpose of giving consent, be considered the whole incumbrancer, reserving to the second a right to pay him off and become sole incum brancer. 19. When an incumbrancer is held subject to limi tation, or in trust, the first person entitled to the in come is the party to consent. 20. Where a person entitled to a charge, which is not an incumbrance in the meaning of the Act, is willing to accept a gross sum in satisfaction of it, the master may treat it as an incumbrance, and charge the portion of land which is not to be sold with it preferably. 21. All reports and other proceedings under this Act are to be filled according to the rules of the court. 22. The order for sale may include the whole or part of the incumbered estate. 23. The court may order the whole of an estate to be sold although the master shall have approved of the save of part only. 24. The court may confirm the report nisi , and direct it to be serv e d on any person or referred back to the master for review previously to making order for sale. 25. The assurance of the land or estate sold shall he raade in such form as the master shall direct ; or he may authorise any other persons to execute the same; the assurance shall be made to the purchaser, his heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns. 26. The purchase money arising on the sale is to be paid into the Bank of Ireland. 27. The receipt of the Accountant-General is to be a sufficient discharge. 28. Where there are several incumbrances the court may order proceedings to ascertain their respective priority. 29. Where an annual charge, not an incumbrance in the sense of this Act, affects any land or estate to be sold under this Act, being part of an estate affected by such charge, the person entitled to it may release the land or estate to be sold without impairing the charge as to the remaining part of the estate. 30. Provided no payment, not being payment in full of an incumbrance, shall affect the incumbrancer's right to the balance. 31. When an incumbrancer shall be satisfied, wholly, or in part, by monies arising out of a sale under this Act, and that it shall appear that other persons, or lands, or estates should contribute to dis charge the incumbrance, the court may order pro ceedings to recover the money, and have it paid into the Bank of Ireland. 32. No payment in respect of any incumbrance under this Act shall affect the right of persons out of whose estate the payment is made to be indemnified out of any other land or estate, except in so far as the court shall order under special circumstances. 33. Where the estate is ordered to be sold the court may empower the master to include in his report other interests in the same estate. 34. Where the land to be sold is subject to a lease the master may apportion the rent of the sold and unsold parts, and all covenants of the lease shall re main in force as regards the apportioned parts except as to the amount of rent. 35. No person entitled to any incumbrance shall be bound to accept payment under this Act with ou t six months' not i ce, nor until the incumbrance is pay able. 36. Where the incumbrance is not payable or not ascertained the court may direct the Accountant- General to set apart the sun to the credit of the in cumbrance and for costs and expenses. 37. When a petition for carrying into execution a contract of sale h as b een presente d without the requi site consent, the consent may be given subsequently.
