Oxford-street (corner of Newman-street). Established in W ells -street, 1820. That the Public have felt the nigent necessity for a Company established en such principles, was rendered manifest by the fact, that during the period of five years in which the Society had been in business, no less than 2,051 proposals had been made to it, cover ing assurances to upwards of one million of money The number of Polices issued far exceeds the average of that of most of the old and successful offices in a similar period; and the business has been gradually progressive, the number of Policies issued during the last year being nearly triple that in the first year of the Society's exist ence ; showing that as the establishment of the Company has become more generally known, the public has more freely embraced the peculiar advantages which it offers, thus affording every reason to believe that the business of the Company will still go on rapidly in creasing. That the number of deaths that have taken place has been under the number estimated by the Tables of the Society by nearly ten per cent. ; a strong proof of the safety and correctness of the data and principles on which they are founded ; and that these facts conclusively show that business in Invalid Lives can be transacted with HI much safety as that in Healthy Lives ; that the prejudice which once prevailed against this class of business is rapidly disap ,earing ; and that there are few companies which are not satisfied • that this kind of Assurance may be done with security and profit, so much so that several have - now become anxious for it. That it is also gratifying to he able to state that a very large proportion of old establ•shed offices have latterly co-operated with this Society by ten itte• it a considerable amount of business. That the public have derived a great benefit from the establish ment of this Company, is shown by the fact, that 66 ver cent. of the liv,s assured had been rejected by other offices; thus extending the highly valuable benefits of Life Assurance to a liege section of the community not embraced by other companies. This result will be the better un , ierstood when it is stated, that in the mature period of life the deaths from one disease Only, Consumption, in the principal towns of England, are more than one-third of the total deaths in the same period of life. And if an inquiry be instituted into the preva lence of other diseases also, such as Asthma, Dropsy, Diseases •fthe THE TWO FEET.-AN ANECDOTE FOll E. MOSES AND SON'S BOOTS AND SHOES. Two trotters conversed as they happen'd to meet, And the reader shall hear what was said by the feet. " Pray what do you honestly think (said the one), Of the boots and the shoes made by MOSES and SON? For my own part a thli satisfaction I feel, With my sole and my instep, my toes and my heel. The boots we have on are so stylish and neat, That, in truth, we're a couple of beautiful feet." " Well done ! (salt the left with a stamp of the foot), You are ' right, Mr. Right,' with regard to your boot ; I've oftentimes thought I'd begrudge not a ran.om For a boot or a shoe that would make me look handsome; And now I have got it, and so have you, too, Such a pair of neat feet very seldom we view. Another prime feature which ev'ry one views As belonging to MOSES and SON'S boots and shoes, Is the fact that they are faultless in lit and in style, While they answer their purpose a very long while. E‘ery foot would do well to attend our advice By obtaining such goods at a very low price, For MOSES rnd SON, in their boots and their shoes Are determined that al folks shall gain and not lose. LIST OF PRICES. 'LEAVE MADE. Head, Heart, &c. &c. &c., ft will be found that nim : e than one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused ad mission into ordinary assurance offices. The d6eases here alluded to are ouch as exist in general in a chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, on a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of Life Assurance ; and since it thus ap pears that a majority of the population is included in this class, the value and importance of the new feature of this So iety cannot fail to be justly'appresiated. _ That the Published document by this Society shows— In the first place, Tit it the peculiar features of this Society open a larger field for business than all other Offices can have unitedly ; and In the second place, That the risk of Assuring Diseased Lives must, from its own nature, be less, and its principles be found to rest on a more satisfactory basis, than these which regulate ordinary assurances. That premiums have been determined for the assurance of persons at every age, among those afflicted with consumption, asthma, bronchitis pneumonia, disease of the heart, apoplexy, paralysis, epilepsy, Insanity, disease of the liver, dropsy, scrofula, gout, rheu matism, &c. That in all cases where satisfactory proof is given that the causes for an increased rate of premium have ceased, a reduction in the premium is made. Increased annuities are granted to Unsound Lives. No extra Premium required on Healthy Lives, in the Army or Navy, unless in actual service. HEALTHY LIVES, both at Home and in Foreign Climates. are Assured with as much facility and at lower rates than at most other offices ; and a capital of Half-a-Million sterling fully subscribed affords a complete guarantee for the fulfilment of the Company's engagements Beaver Taglionis, from .. • • ............... d 6 Chesterfields and Coiringtons .... ........ •B d......... • •••• •••••• •• Pashas, D'Orsays coats,• and Chesterfields, and every description 0 10 6 ofwinter • • • • • • • • • • • • • • - • • • • • .. toys' Winter Coats, in every style and make. . .... . 150 8 6 Tweed Trousers, lined •••••• • • • • • • ....... ....... ...... 04 6 Doeskin • 313ress Coats.. ••• . • • • rrockCoats— •••••• • • • ' " .... ••"••••••••• • • " • • ' • • • • • 1 5 0 D ouble-breasted Vests •• • • '• • • ..... •.0 2 0 110 , Ye Hussar and Tunic Suits ••••••• • • • " • • • ....... •• • • 0 18 6 3's Winter Trousers .

MIRACULOUS PRESERVATION OF A. FRENCH BARQUE BY H.M.S. TYNE. H.M.S. Tyne, 28, Captain Glascock, arrived at this port on Saturday last, having put in by stress of wea ther on her way to Portsmouth. The Admiralty, an ticipating the probability of her arrival here, had or dered her to remain, to be paid off. On Christmas day, during a most dreadful gale, the Tyne fell in with a French barque iu great distress, evidenced by her hav ing the national fi.ig half down on her three mast heads The Tyne at once closed with a view to hail her, and endeavour to ascertain the extent of her distress, but such was the violence of the gale, that all attempts at verbal communication was impracticable. The gale raging furiously, with a heavy sea, it was considered next to impossible that a boat could live on the water, if any attempt should be made to board the barque ; at this juncture, Mr. James Penn, master of the Tyne, (grand-nephew of the late well-known in trepid king's pilot, of Cawsand,) seconded by Lieu tenant Selwyn, of the same ship, at the imminent risk of their lives, nobly volunteered to board the vessel, supposidg her crew wished to abandon her, and take refuge on board the Tyne. On reaching the barque it was ascertained she had lost her rudder, and the whole of her bulwarks on the starboard side, she was also in a very leaky state, short of provisions and water, and her crew so exhausted from pumping, &c., that they were totally unable to continue their exertions, or in any way assist the vessel. Lieutenant Selwyn promised, on the part of Captain Glascock, that the Tyne should stick by him, and render him every possible assistance, as soon as the weather moderated to allow communication, and in the meantime a jury spar had been fitted on board the Tyne, by which the barque could be steered, untila proper rudder, made ou Pakenham's principle, could be com pleted and properly shipped. On the 26th December, at noon, the weather becoming more moderate, the spar was sent on board, and with great difficulty secured and e h ßo e eh r t sw h e eh e e a t n d o tf t h o eh t e2 h r6 e teha n p o at r na t di h ts w 2 tB a ht r eh d :Tty a hn u e e d Tt 0 oy b e nk f e r: found sufficiently eff ec ti ve to wear t h e b arque round with re sthe crew rhe abarque dark, g were with r i t en h et the oo wn stantly engaged by day and night occasionally casting off the tow, and employed in the boats towing the two vessels apart, as the wind fell light and the swell in creased, in consequence of the two vessels having a great tendency to close. On the 29th, at noon, Pakenham's rudder was fully completed and shipped—the barque am ply supplied with provisions and water, and found to be so serviceable altogether, that the French cap tain expressed a strong desire to prosecute his voyage alone. Three hearty cheers were interchanged be tween the two vessels, and each parted for their re the captain of the barque ex spective destination s pressing excessive gratitude, and stating his determi nation to report the great kindness he had expe rienced to the Frenc h Government on arrival. The barque was richly la den, having a general cargo estimated at 20,0001., from Marseilles to Havre. She was quite a new vessel , copp er bottomed and fastened. There can be little, if any d oubt, that if the rudder had_ not been supplied, she must have Ushant or Scilly. Nothing could been lost either off exceed the disinte rested Glascock, his and generous condu ct of Ca p tain officers, and crew--for, brought the vessel into for, had they have a British port, a large am ount of salvage m ust been their reward. But, like t rue British sailors, they sacrificed all pecuniary considerations, and devoted themselves entirely to preserve a valuable ship and cargo belonging to the merchants of their once five powerful enemy. Captain Glascock was no t in bed for nights, _ and was on board the barque superintending the ship ping the rudder, and rendering his best assistance. — D evenpot t Independent. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH- WESTERN AND WOKINGHAH.—On Monday afternoon, at three o'clock, a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of, and owners and occupiers of property in, Wokingham, was held at the Town-hall, for the purpose of ascertaining their opinion with regard to the proposed line front the South-Western to this town. The meeting was convened by Mr. William Helas, the alderman of Wokingham, in conformity with a requisition, signed by Mr. James Hayward, Francis Soames, J. R. Wheeler, E. Roberts, Edward Horne, J. L. Roberts, and upwards of fifty of the most influential parishioners. There were also present Mr. H. C. Lacy, director of the London and South-Western, and chairman of the Windsor, Staines, and South-Western Railway Company ; and Mr. Drake, one of the solicitors; Mr. Chadwick, deputy chairman; and a deputation from the Windsor, Staines, and South-Western Company; and Mr. Horne, the secretary ; Mr. Kerr, from the office of Mr. Locke, engineer ; Messrs. C. J. Clarke, Apsley Pellatt, Caleb Norris, J. T. Bedborough, &c. Several of the gentle men present having spoken to the nature of the projected plans, the speedy communication the line would open with London, and the facility of that communication by means of the South-Western line, resolutions in its favour were passed unanimously. Wokingham is at present situated between the South-Western and Great Western, but without a connecting communication with either. NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE.-L.-CUTTING OF THE FIRST SOD IN CHESHIRE.—Mr. Smith and Mr. Ainger, the engineers of the company employed on that portion of the line extending from Macclesfield to the Red Bull , had made arrangements for the turning of the " first sod " in Cheshire on Wednesday last, on the lands Daintry,of Esq., at North Rode, adjacent to the Four lane Ends, and Mr. Daintry was invited to officiate at that interesting ceremony. Mr. Daintry was, however, absent at the time appointed, and J. Bullock, Esq., mayor of Congleton, happening to ride up at the moment, was asked to take the spade and make the commencement. Mr. Bullock hesitated to take the post of honour, but at the pressing solicitation of the engineers, at length consented. About one hundred of the labourers were present, and Mr. Bullock, previous to the performance of the operation, addressed the assembled party in a short and appropriate speech. In the course of his remarks Mr. Bullock said " This is the first manual operation of one of the greatest and most im portant railway undertakings ever provided for this district. It is well known how long we have been shut out from the benefits of good railway com munication, and it may be remembered, that I have, as an humble individual, long and strenuously laboured to procure for Congleton the advantage of being placed on a main line. This is the first step, and on the com pletion of this great work, the grand chain of railway communication from Manchester to London, through Macclesfield, Congleton, and the Potteries, will be per fected. Judging from the wonderful energy, and the remarkable success of the board of directors is all their proceedings, presided over by the consummate ability of Mr. Ricardo, and directed by the engineering skill of Mr. Bidder, it is not too much to expect that this great work will be accomplished in less time than has been contemplated ; and I cannot doubt but it will prove a lasting and general advantage to the district, and will produce considerable pecuniary benefit to the subscribers and shareholders. I see before me many of those who are actually to cut the line. The head work falls on the chief, the hand labour on those present. We know that Englishmen will work ; it is their honourable charac teristic. Take care my friends, that when you receive the fruit of your hard-earned labours, you make good use of it ; and may success and prosperity attend your undertaking." The mayor then duly performed his duty, and was followed by Mr. Ainger and Mr. Smith each cutting a sod, and the three gentlemen having contributed a few sovereigns for a treat to the 1 workpeople, they were greeted by loud and protracted cheering, which finished the auspicious task of the day. —Staffordshire Mercury. I SALE OF THE STOUR VALLEY.—This line was sold to the London and North-Western Company on Satur day. The terms are two-thirds of London and North- Western dividend, to commence when the line is opened, or two-thirds of the subscribed capital; the London and North-Western to supply the additional capital for the present line and future branches; 4 per cent. to be paid on calls till the guarantee comes into operation. Our Birmingham correspondent says—" The bargain here is considered a very bad one for the shareholders who are not identified with the canal proprietary of the London and North-Western, as, even supposing the present London and North-Western to continue 10 per cent. dividend, and the guarantee to commence instanter, it would not raise the Stour Valley shares to more than 4i premium, whereas, with the uncertainty of the former, and the delay of two years on the latter, 3 pre mium is too much. YORK AND NEWCASTLE.—A new station is to be built on this line, near the bridge at Monkwearmouth. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST.—Opera tions with the new year are to be commenced on the Thames Junction Branch, from the main line at New cross to the Thames at Deptford, a distance of one mile, including a viaduct, 730 yards in length; on the Hail sham and Eastbourne branches, from the Hastings line at the Polgate station to Hailsham and Eastbourne, a dis tance of 7f miles ; and on the Steyning branch, from the Chichester line at the Shoreham station to Steyning, a distance of four miles. NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION.--The shareholders meet this month to consider the proposed application to Parliament, for the partial deviation of the line, and the amendment of the Act constituting the company. Also, in compliance with the requis i t ion of the shareholders, for the purpose of taking into consideration and approv ing,oamtle- or otherwise , certain propo sitions for an amal tion with the Liverpool , Manchester, and N u pon-Tyne Junction. The contract for sleepers on the South Staffordshire amounts to 50,000. The Midland are in want of 2,000 coal-waggons for their mineral traffic. The Exeter and Exmouth meet this month to confirm their agreement with the South-Western, and to consider an application for the amendment of their Act.

REGENT'S CANAL LIN E. —At the me e ti ng of the Mary lebone Vestry on Saturday, Sir Peter L aur i e expressed gratification at the course adopted on the previous Saturday with respect to the Regent's Canal Railway. He had communicated with the Secre tary of State on the . matter, and had received a letter from Mr. Phillips, in forming him that the views of the inhabitants of the Regent's-park were accorded in. He had also received a communication from Mr. Jardine, the magistrate, stating that if the railway was carried, he must leave the park; and from the owner of twenty houses, stating that if the Regent's Canal Company obtained their Bill, his property would be ruined. The Royal Botanic Society had also intimated their intention of offering the most determined opposition. ANOTHER PRACTICAL PROOF OF THE DANGER OF LEVEL CROSSINGS.—On Friday an accident occurred at the place where the railroad crosses the highway on a level near the station. A train had just left the station at Ware, and gone to Hertford, and another 4 50 P.M. train was coming up from Hertford, when a man who had arrived from the direction of the post-office attempted to cross the line. The gatekeeper tried to stop him, and for his pai ns . J us t a t this received a blow in the Inc() ANNUAL P101311171E TO 1.881111 £lOO. For Seven Years. I Whole Term. Age.

The consequences may be easily imagined ; both of his legs were cut off below the knee. He was conveyed to the Cherry Tree, under the care of Mr. John Reilly, surgeon, who happened to be at the station at the time of the accident. We could not ascer tain his place of residence, but he states his name to be Roe.—Herts County Press. The National having stated that the directors of the Rouen Railway had given the privilege of travelling by it free of all charges to the first President of the Cour Royale of Rouen, M. Frank Carr 6, who fills that high office, has addressed a letter to the National, affirming that no such offer has been made to him, and that if it had he should have declined it, because, being a judge, he might at any day be called upon to decide upon cases in which the acts and interests of the company were in volved, and he should have been seriously wanting in his duty if he suffered himself to be invested with such a privilege. WITHDRAWAL OF COACHES.—Yesterday week, in consequence of the opening of the rail, two coaches were withdrawn from the Ipswich road ; one, the " Old Ipswich," driven for 37 years by that old favourite coachman, " Tom" Emmerson, and the other, " The Regulator," by Robert Sewell.—Bury Herald. EDINBURGH AND PERTH.—The town council, it will be seen, have, by a large majority, decided to take 100 shares in this new undertaking, and to assist its progress by every means in its power. It is now generally re ported that two of the most powerful railway companies in Scotland, too obviously interested in its establishment to require more particular specification, are to lend it all their influence in its progress through the Legislature, for which every Parliamentary requisite has been pre. pared, the arrangement with the old company for the plans, &c., executed by its orders, having been com pleted last week.—Perthshire Courier. How TO MAKE LANDED [AND RAILWAY?] PRO PERTY VALUABLE.—A very curious rumour is in circu lation through the district of rouge, in the vicinity of the Croydon line. It is stated that a petition or memorial has been sent to the directors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company, from the inhabi tants of the above village, requesting or praying that the benefit of a station may be extended to their imme diate neighbourhood. Now the rumour is, that Mr. Schuster, who has recently rendered himself so famous in the railway world, has purchased a large landed pro urty at or close by the spot where the inhabitants de sire to have a station, and that he is about to build ex tensively upon it. Can this be " cause and effect?"— Railway Record. ASHFORD AND HASTINGS.—The new line of railway from Ashford to Hastings appears to be steadily pro gressing. NotiCes have been issued to all the landowners preparatory to the purchases, for some of which the company are already in treaty. The works are to be submitted for competition during the present month. It thereby rbl i n effectingg toti , o on thea saving Tn b roi of is rumoured that the part from Rye to Hastings will ast gs line, give way to the line obtained last session from Rye to Wa g seven wv e miles ls and o f I mostin expen sive work, for which no possible compensation can be derived in the shape of traffic.—Dover Chronicle. MANCHESTER AND BOLTON.—It has been already noticed that, owieg to the recent accidents on this line, a memorial was forwarded to the Board of Trade, calling for an investigation into the state of the line. In compliance with the prayer of the memorialists, Captain Coddington arrived at Bolton on Friday, the 25th of December, on this mission. It was shown that the lessees of this line, the Leeds Company, had already put down six miles of new rails out of the ten, and were proceeding with the other four miles, to put that por tion of the line in like repair, a course which Captain Coddington appeared to think evinced a proper desire on the part of the lessees to secure the public against future accident; but he is said to have recommended that, until the four miles not yet laid with new rails are com pleted, trains on that part of the line should travel at a reduced speed. His attention was called to the state of the bridges by which the turnpike-roads are carried over the line. These bridges are flat ones, supported by pillars between the lines of rails, and are so dangerous that passengers leaning incautiously out of the carriage windows might suffer injury from them. One of the Bolton Company's servants was killed in that way. Captain Coddington suggested the construction of better bridges, and that an arrangement should be effected, with the aid of the county magistracy, for diverting the roads whilst the new bridges are being built. KENT LINE.—TONBRIDGE, MAIDSTONE, AND CANTER BURY.—A notice, with this heading, has just been put into circulation in the county of Kent, signed by the solicitors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. It runs thus:—"The committee of directors entrusted with the conduct of the Bill for the Kentish lines promoted by the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, have authorised us to invite the co-operation and support of the landowners and in habitants of the county of Kent, and to state that they will be happy to receive any communications in further ance of the objects of the undertaking. The committee will take an opportunity of circulating a statement and msp, showing the course of the lines, and the great ad• vantages which their scheme of railway communication will afford to the county."—Railway Record. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. - An accident of a very deplorable character on the Eastern Counties Rail way, near Laken-heath station, which involved the loss of two lives, was the subject of a coroner's inquiry yester day forenoon, at the Railway Tavern, adjacent to the Brandon station. The names of the deceased were Joseph Roderham, aged 31, and William Talbot, aged 25, both ballastmen in the service of the company. Mr. Ashcroft, the irspector of the permanent wily, was present to watch the proceedings. The evidence of two witnesses thus describes the circumstances attending the unfortunate occurrence : At daylight on Thursday morning a train of twelve loaded ballast trucks was pro ceeding along the line from Brandon towards Laken heath, the soil being required to keep up the permanent way. The deceased, with several other labourers, ac companied the trucks, in order to unload them ; they were seated on the top of the soil. The train proceeded apparently in the usual safe manner, but on nearing Laken-heath, the fore-axle of the truck on which the deceased were seated, from some unknown cause, snapped asunder in two places. The body of the machine instantly dropped, and as the train was drawn along the next truck mounted the one that was broken, and the poor fellows were crushed underneath it. Fortunately the speed was not great at the time, being not more than ten or twelve miles an hour, and the engine-driver per ceiving the disaster brought the trucks almost imme diately to a stand-still. On the disabled waggons being removed, the poor fellows were found to be most shock ingly mutilated. Talbot had been killed on the spot. Roderham, although his legs and arms were fractured in a shocking manner, was still alive, but ere he could reach Brandon he had breathed his last. Mr. Samuels, the resident engineer, was sent down by the company to inquire into the cause of the axle breaking. He exa mined the metal minutely, found no defect in it; the cause of it breaking was a matter very difficult to ar rive at. The jury expressed themselves satisfied that the company had adopted the necessary precautions for the protection of such workpeople as the deceased, and that the accident was the result of circumstances over which they had no control. A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned. The deceased were married men. Mr. Ashcroft, on behalf of the company, directed that every attention should be paid their widows and families which their melancholy condition would suggest. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A terrible accident happened on Saturday last at the works of the Oxford, W orcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, near Worcester. This line of railway, which has now been in course of con struction for several months, runs eastward of Worcester, and at about the distance of a mile from that city, is a shot t tunnel (about 300 or 400 yards long), passing unsitl. Spooner's or Rainbow-hill. To carry on the ex cavz.itions in this tunnel, two shafts have been sunk, and it was at one of these shafts that the accident happened. Th 4, soil, it appears, is removed from the tunnel, by the use of large windlasses, and " skips" or large buckets, men. being placed at the mouth of each shaft to receive the skips as they are brought up from below. On Satur day one of the men, while engaged in the work of Idrawing a skip upon the platform placed for its reception, gat on his wrong side, and was in a moment, before a h e3ping hand could be held out to him, forced off the platform into the shaft, and falling to the bottom with his head upon the rails, laid below for the purpose of a ssisting the removal of the soil, was literally dashed to pieces. The poor fellow must have died instantaneously, for on being picked up it was found that (to use the ex pression of of his fellow-workmen) there was not a whole bone in his body. The body was removed , and now awaits a Coroner's inquest. FIRE AT LAWSHALL.—About half-past six o'clock on Sunday morning, a fire was discovered on the farm c f Mr. Smith, of Lawshall, which, in spite of every e ffort to subdue it, resulted in the total destruction of a barn, containing 30 cooznbs of wheat and a quantity of peas, the produce of six acres ; a stable, with harness, all the tools, a good quantity of straw, and in.a the d u a p h p o e u r t portion of a dwelling - hous e, which wasso re tine roof and walls that it is feared the whole will have to, come down.

Lord John Hay, C. 8., accompanied by 12 o'clock train of the South-Western Railway, and em barked at the Clarence-yard in the barge of Captain Chads of the Excellent, and were put on board the Echo steam tug (the only steam-vessel out of nearly a dozen in commission at this port in a sufficiently serviceable condition to convey their Lordships to Spithead), in which vessel they proceeded to the roadstead to visit and inspect the Thetis, new 36-gun frigate, Captain Cod rington. Their Lordships were accompanied by Admiral Sir E. Codrington, G.C.B , G.C.M . G ., Ca p tain Chads, C. 8., and Captain Codrington , C.B. Their Lordshi p s were conducted over the ship by her gallant and experi enced captain, and expressed their unqualified approba tion of the internal economy and the seagoing efficiency of the beautiful vessel, which certainly reflects the high est credit alike upon her constructors and captain. Their Lordhips partook of a detainer, and remained on board nearly three hours. They returned in the Echo, and were expected to visit the Excellent, the Dauntless new screw steam-frigate, and the Kestrel brigantine, and conclude their visit by dining with the Commander in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle. Their Lordships sleep at the George Hotel, and return to town to-morrow morning. The Hyacinth, 18, Commander Scott, sailed to-day fur Sheerness, to be paid off. All the disposable boys on board the Victory (about 60) were put on board the Thetis to-day for passage to join the squadron under Sir W. Parker in the Tagus. The Dauntless is to be fitted for sea, and tried with all possible dispatch. COLONIZATION. As the subject of systematic colonization is now be ginning to engage a large portion of the public attention, the following memoranda relative to the Nova Scotia claims cannot fail to be read with interest. The Baronetage of Scotland was erected in 1825 under express stipulations, that no Baronet should be created in Scotland except for the sole cause of promot ing the colonization of Nova Scotia; that the country of Nova Scotia should be divided into counties containing ten baronies, each three miles along the coast, and ten miles into the interior; and every Baronet should be a Baron of some one or other of the said Baronies, and was therein to have ten thousand acres of property, be sides his six thousand acres belonging to his burgh of Barony, to be holden free blanche, and in a free barony of the Crown, as did the barons of the realm of Scotland. The charter of the Premier Baronet, Gordon of Gordonstoun, dated the 28th of May, 1625, and the charters of the Baronets Campbell of Glenorchy, Innes of Innes, Wemyss of Wemyss, Macdonald of Macdonald, and Murray of Cockpool (now respec tively represented by the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Duke of Roxburgh, the Earl of Wemyss, Lord Macdonald, and the Earl of Mansfield), conferred from the 29th of May to the 19th of July, 1625, are made by the Royal Commission of King Charles I. to the Lords of the Privy Council for creating Baronets of Scotland and Nova Scotia (bearing date the 26th of July, 1625), the regulating fundamental constitution of the whole Scottish Baronetage, i.e. of all the families made Baronets from 1625 to the Union in 1707. These Charters, to which every patent of Charles 11., James 11., and William and Mary refer, contain clauses and provisions to the following effect, viz. :—" The said charters are, and shall be, valid sufficient and effectual in all time coming in all parts thereof as set forth for ever, to the said Baronets and each of them, in law against the king, his heirs and successors, and against all other persons whatsoever, in all his Courts, and those of his heirs and successors and in all other places whatsoever at all times and occasions, notwithstanding whatsoever law, custom, prescription, practice, ordinance, or consti tution hitherto made, ordained, or published; or here- after, at whatsoever time to be made, ordained, and pub lished or provided, and notwithstanding any other cause or occasion whatsoever." The Charter of the Premier Baronet was renewed and confirmed by William 111. in 1698—seventy three years after the period of the first grant. The proceed ings in which the Baronets are now engaged for the restoration of their rights commenced in 1835 ; and between that date and the treaty of Paris in 1763 (when the rights of the Baronets revived under the jure post liminii) only 72 years intervene. This is an important historical fact in a case of this nature, inasmuch as the precedent of the recognition of the validity of the rights and privileges conveyed in the Gordon Charter by the King and Government in 1698, ought to rule the Crown and Government in the present day. But the rights and privileges subsisting in the families forming the Scottish Baronetage are protected by the Act of Union in 1707, nine years later than the renewal by William 111. of the Gordon Charter, i. e. eighty-two years subsequent to the foundation of the Order—a period almost exactly the same as that which has elapsed since the treaty of Paris, in 1763, and this date. Within, however, twelve years from the date of the Treaty of Paris (viz., in 1775), various meetings of the Baronets of Scotland, took place, when steps were adopted for the revival of their common rights and pri vileges. Whilst somewhat later, in the months of July and October, 1783, meetings of the said Baronets, and of representatives in right cf their lands in Nova Scotia, were expressly held in Edinburgh-Ist, because "mea sures were being taken in London, which might mate rially affect their interests in the estates granted to them in Nova Scotia;" and, 2d, "to consider a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury on the subject of their grants." At the last general meeting of the Order, on the 7th of November, 1844, it was supposed that no proceedings had followed the meetings in 1783, but within the last eighteen months two original letters of the late James Cummyng, Esq., of the Lyon-office (who acted as secre tary to the then Committee of Scottish Baronets), have been recovered. From these documents (which bear date 30th April and 4th August, 1777) the following are extracts :—" Our Baronets, not content with the re covery of their badge, are determined to apply to Go vernment for the lands granted to their ancestors with their titles, and I have long been employed in selecting the description of the boundaries of their lots (16,000 acres each) from their charters, and adjusting it to a plan of the country on as enlarged scale which will soon be laid before the Board of Trade;" and again, " I have lately got extracts from the Lord Register's-office of the patents of all the Baronets, with descriptions of the lands in America bestowed on them, from which I am to foam a plan of the grounds, marking each member's name on his grant." These notices are decisive as to the character of the meetings in 1783. Two and a half million acres, out of the eleven in New Brunswick as yet unlocated, would suffice to quiet the claims of the Scottish baronets—and it is to be re membered, that since this question was raised, in 1836, our Government has yielded up, to the unjust demands of the United States. a larger portion of the roil of that province by the settlement of the boundary question. Further—within the same period, the " Irish Society of London" incorporated by James I. in 1613 for the Plan tation of Ulster, have revived their objects after remain ing (as shown by Mr. Hall in his late work) for " above two centuries as utterly unacquainted with their estates, as if they bad been situate in Kamschatka." But allowing no such precedents could be cited — nevertheless the condition of Scotland on the one hand, overburdened with population, and of New Brunswick, on the other, now being settled in a way that is certain to terminate in a vulgar republic, combine to form most powerful moral and political reasons why the Scottish Baronets should again exercise the rights and objects of their institution. The Order was founded hereditarily to promote " the opulence, prosperity and peace" of the mother country and the colony—and with famine in the Highlands, and one-tenth of the inhabitants at large -250,000 souls—in a state of pauperism, it is full time that those concerned should, by a vigorous, united, and patriotic effort, make the Baronetage the mighty state engine of practical usefulness whereby (as contemplated by its royal founder) each baronet in particular, and the whole Scottish nation generally, shall have honcur and profit."—Ross-shire Advertiser.

That the Irish will have to buy largely in Eng land up to the period of next harvest cannot be ques tioned ; and how we are to meet this unusual demand is a startling proposition. It is not merely that which is taken from us, but it must be borne in mind that iu ordinary seasons the densely-populated manufacturing districts, which draw a large proportion of their supplies from Liverpool, depend, in a great measure, on the arrivals of bread-stuffs from the sister isle. This source is not withdrawn, but large shipments are daily taking place from this to the other side of the Channel: Can any surprise, therefore, be felt at the present state of affairs? The enormous importations of 1846, nearly 2,000,000 quarters of wheat, and upwards of 3,000,000 cwt. of flour, have been almost wholly consumed._ The quantity of grain, &c., at present in bond in the United Kingdom is trifling in the extreme: all parties engaged in the corn trade, whether as merchants, factors, millers, or dealers, are indifferently stocked: that farmers hold less than usual at the commencement of a new year is the prevailing opinion, and for two months we shall pro bably be without arrivals of importance from abroad. We shall not expatiate on the probable effects of this state of things ; the facts are indisputable, and we leave our readers to draw their own conclusions. Farmers still act on the principle they have been guided by ever since harvest—being satisfied with the rates obtainable, they have all along supplied the markets freely. The damp weather experienced during the greater part of the week has been detrimental to the condition of the grain of last year's growth ; but though the quality of the wheat brought forward by the growers has in consequence of this cause been decidedly worse than that of previous supplies, a further advance of about 35. per quarter 'has been obtained at all the leading markets in the agricul tural districts. Till very recently the new wheat has come to hand in such capital order as to render an ad mixture of old almost unnecessary, but this is no longer the case ; and it is., therefore, pretty certain that an extra demand for the free foreign still on hand will be experienced. At most of the out-ports the stocks of the latter are very insignificant, and the recent shipments to Ireland have also greatly decreased the quantity in warehouse in London. - Under these circumstances we should not be surprised to see foreign bear a higher relative value than English. . The advices from Liverpool of Tuesday, were of a very exciting character ; wheat was then quoted 4d. to a per 70Ibs. higher than on that day se'nnight, and for wheat meal 171. to 181. per ton was readily paid by the Irish purehaiers. - Other articles sold at equally high rates, say, American flour, 40s. per barrel in bond, and oatmeal .525. per load. Later in the week a further enhancement was insisted on, and some large sales of wheat and flour were made on Friday, the former bringing from 2d. to 3d. per 'nibs., and the latter 6d per barrel, above Tues day's currency. The continued rise in the English mar kets, together with a lively local demand, has caused prices of grain to run up nearly as rapidly in Scotland as with us ; indeed, as regards oats, the advance bas been much greater there than in the Louth : and it is perfectly clear that we cannot look for any further supplies of the last-named article from that quarter. By the latest accounts from Ireland wo learn that a large fleet of vessels corn-laden had arrived there from England, a few cargoes from the south of Europe, and several from America. This welcome supply had, how ever, little effect on the markets ; and quotations of wheat meal, Indian corn, and indeed of almost all articles of food, were then still so much above our prices as to afford a good protit on shipments from this side. An intelligent correspondent states that a temporary re-action was the utmost tha: could be looked for, as all parties were so exceedingly bare of stocks as to render it certain that the corn would pass into immediate consumption almost as soon as landed. Potatoes we are informed, had altogether ceased to come to market. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into the port of Lon don have been small this week, the total receipt up to Saturday evening having amounted to only 9,830 quar ters. It is not surprising that the supplies should show a falling off, as prices are at present lower in the metro politan than in several of the leading provincial markets; and many of the shippers on the east coast, who usually coruign to London, have, no doubt, been induced to send their property to those places which promise to give them the best remuneration. The quantity of wheat exhibited at Mark-lane, by land carriage samples from the neigh bouring counties, has also been scanty. On Wednesday the show consisted of a few parcels on the Essex and Keat stands, left over from Monday, for these higher terms !were ached than would have been accepted in the beginning of the week, which had the effect, in the first instance, of checking the demand. but buyers find ing factors determined, were at list under the necessity of paying the terms demanded, and an advance of about ls. per quarter was established. On Friday the quan tity of English wheat on sale_was even smaller than be fore, and some further enhancement was insisted on and obtained for really good conditioned parcels ; the total rise on Monday's currency may, therefore, be estimated at ls. to 2s. per quarter. The inquiry for foreign free wheat for shipment to Ireland has again become brisk ; in the commence of the week there was an appearance of a pause in the demand, but since then numerous orders to buy have again come to hand from the sister isle, and our stocks having been greatly diminished by the recent important shipments, holders have declined selling, ex cept at rates ls. to 2s. per quarter above those previously current. The damp weather experienced during the last eight days has, as already remarked, rendered a mixture of old wheat more necessary than was previously the case ; and the mille - rs have, consequently, taken the finer sorts, such as Dantzic and the best red Baltic ; whilst the ordinary qualities have been bought to be converted into meal on Irish account. Inlbonded:wheat the opera tions have not been of much importance : owing to the article having been held relatively higher than free, it has failed to offer any inducement for speculative invest ments, and prices being now too high here to allow of the execution of the orders which have come to hand from France, few bargains have been closed. Quotations of town-manufactured flour have remained stationary since Monday, nor has any further advance taken place on country flour ; but gocd brands of Ameri can in bond, as well as free, have been held at rather over previous terms. The great rise established in barley on Monday has failed to draw supplies to this market, and the arrivals into London, including 9,311 quarters from abroad, have amounted to only 12,055 quarters. The maltsters and distillers have, therefore, found it difficult to secure the quantity requisite for their immediate wants, and the sales made have been concluded on terms decidedly in favour of the seller. For the best malting qualities 635. per quarter has been paid, and other descriptions have produced corresponding prices. Malt has risen in the like proportion; and as the stocks of that article are known to be very short, a further ad vance is anticipated. Small as the supplies of oats have for some time been, a further falling off is exhibited this week in the receipts. We are disposed to think that the time bas now arrived when this grain would feel the influence of the very great enhancement which has taken place in other sorts of corn without hitherto producing much effect on the value of oats. On Wednesday there was certainly an increased disposition to buy, and towards the close of market the dealers took off a fair quantity, at rates hardly obtainable in the beginning of the week. On Friday the anxiety to purchase was more general, and prices fully is. per quarter &live those of Monday were freely paid. English Beans have been held very firmly since our last, but the demand seems again to have somewhat slackened ; and, though the quantity brought forward has been only moderate, the advance on previous rates has not exceeded ls. per quarter. For floating cargoes of Egyptian Beans there has been an inquiry, and se veral bargains have been closed at 44e to 455. per quarter. The rise in the temperature has had the effect of checking the demand for boiling-peas, but there has not been the slightest giving way on the part of the holders ; indeed, they were on Friday unwilling to accept Mon day's terms. The offers of cargoes of Indian corn on passage to this country have rather increa-ed, but the quantity os the spot is still insignificant. Tiiis article has not ex cited quite so much attention as recently, still its value is relatively high as compared with that of either wheat of spring corn. FOREIGN.
