REPRESENTATION OF WSt MINSTER. Last evening a meeting of the friends of Mr. C. Lush* on was held'at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, to kw from that gentleman an avowal of his political sentim, and to decide upon his qualifications to represent the cit sr of Westminiter in the next Parliament, vice Mr. Leader, rho intends to resign. The Hon. E. P. BOER -ERIE, M P., was called to the chai. r, and, after a few brief remarks, introduced • Mr. Lismscrrox, who was received with loud cheers- That gentleman began by expressieg his gratitude for the numerous meeting that had attended to greet him. He had been induced to pat himself forward as a candidate for their suffrages in consequence of a communication from the West minster Reform Society, requesting his opinion upon certain points, and to which he had replied by announcing his con currence in all of them. Thereupon he had been chosen by the society by a very small majority over Mr. G. Thompson, who bid in the most generous manner acquiesced in the de cision, and further promised to render every support in his (Mr. Lushington's) behalf. Another gentleman, Mr. Page Wood, originally lilted upon as a future candidate for West minster, had also_ yielded his claims, and be com e a member of his (Mr. Lushin . gton's) committee. The Hon. Candidate then proceeded to detail his opinions upon the leading points of political discussion. As to the vote by ballot, he had always voted for the ballot.—(Hear, hear.) The extension of the suffrage to every householder, and every constituency to consist of at least 5,000 electors, he also concurred in. The next point was, the repeal of the 7th clause of the Reform Act—(Cheers)—and that lie had already in Parliament voted for.—(Hear, hear.) The next question, respecting triennial Parliaments, was one he entirely concurred in, but thought it must be preceded by other measures, such as the extension of the suffrage, &c. He would support any measure to pro cure a reform in all municipal corporations. The corn-laws being now almost dead, he need not renew his pledges to op pop them, but was prepared to attack, and procure, if pos sible, the repeal of the window-tax. Another question put to him was, whether he would co-operate in the endeavour to procure the abolition of all pensions not merited by public services. For that he had voted in a previous Parliament, and would do so again. He would vote for the removal of all taxes pressing upon the free diffusion of knowledge, par.- ticularly the stamp duties on newspapers; for a reform in the Church establishment, and for a proper application of the funds of the country to the pur poses of education independent of all sectarian distinctions. —( Hear.) He could not pledge himself to go to Parliament without a preference to one party over another, but he could pledge himself to do his duty, and not to recognise the odious principle of finality.--(Cheers.) In short, if elected, he would feel it his duty, as well as his pleasure, to support per fect free trade, universal education, short Parliaments, the protection of the ballot, and would boldly assert the preser vation of international peace as a duty of all men to their God. In answer to an elector, Mr. Lushington said, that with respect to the Ten Hours' Bill he suspected that ques tion would be settled before he went into Parliament. He would say, that as a free-trader, that as a strict principle, he thought the artizan Should be left, to his own discretion, and ought not to be fettered by any legislative restrictions.— (Hear.) In conclusion, he would assure the electors he was too old for lace and too independent for promotion. Mr. PAGE WOOD moved, and Mr. G. THOMPSON seconded, a resolution approving of the principles enunciated by Mr. Lushington, and pledging the meeting to use every en deavour to procure his return to Parliament. A Mr. SKELTON proposed an amendment dissenting to the resolution, but the original motion was carried almost unani.. mously. After a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting sepa rated. DREADFUL COLLISION ON THE RIVER, NEAR GRAVESEND. SEVEN LIVES LOST. A collision of a most serious character, involving, it is sup posed, the loss of seven lives, happened early on Sunday morning, in the river, off Old Haven, about ten miles below Tilbury Fort, on the east aide, a fine schooner, of about 100 tons burden being run down by a powerful steam-ship. The. particulars as yet received respecting the catastrophe are far from being satisfactory. The unfortunate vessel which is lost appears to have been the Rose, of Exeter, Mr. Webber master. Having been loaded with a cargo of miscellaneous goods at Topping's Wharf, London-bridge, she took her de parture in the course of Friday evening, and reached Old Haven Bay the following evening. She there brought up for the night, and remained safe until about a quarter to four o'clock on the following morning (Sunday), when a large three-masted steamer was seen bearing down at full speed, having the ebb tide with her. She exhibited the usual lights at her bow and mast-head. Whether the ordi nary lock-out was kept on board' it is difficult as yet to state. Certain it is, however, that she continued her course, and on nearing the anchored schooner the urinal cries were raised on board the steamer to " port," "ease her," "stop her," " turn her astern," but before those orders could be complied with she came in contact with the vessel with tremendous force, the steamer's bow carrying away the schooner's fore mast, and cutting her bulwarks and hull down to the water's edge. It being evident a few seconds after the collision that the schooner was rapidly filling, all hands on board the steamer ran aft in order to save the crew of the ill-fated craft. Ropes and other means of rescue were thrown out, but only one ' man was seen, and him they succeeded in preserving, who proved to be the master. The poor man had a very narrow escape, as may be judge_Ld from tht . fact that he ran from his berth with only hi s V......fit shirt. on to the deck. They had b 'rely got him on.board before the vessel went down With''' the remainder of thi crew, five in number,and it is suMtied two passengers, who all perished. •"4 , The crash was distinctly heard in all peal; of the bay, and by the officers on duty at the Coast' qtaktd station at Old Haven. Boats were put off in the direction from whence the cries proceeded, but their aid was of trifling avail. The steamer remained near the spot where the Rose went down for some time, with a view of picking up what might be cast from the wreck. Little appearing, however, she proceeded on her voyage to Leith, the damage she sustained not being so serious as to prevent her completing her run. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

DEPUTY-novratoa. The Right Hon. the Earl of ELGIN and KINCARDINE. The TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY was held within the Company's Office, 3, George-street, Edinburgh, on Monday, the 15th day of February, 1847, in the terms of the Act of Parliament by which the Company is constituted. _ . JAMES /110*CHIEFF MELVILLE, Esq., in the Chair. A report on the progress of the Company's business during the past year was submitted by the Directors, in which the following re sults were communicated:— The new Policies issued from the 15th of November, 1845, to the 15th of November, 1846, the Company's business year. amount to 592, the number of proposals made to the Company during the same period being 769. The amount of new Assurances, covered by the 592 new Policies is 368,67 W. 7s. 10d. (an average of 6251. for each Policy) ; the amount of Assurances applied for during the year being 476,1351. 175. 9d. The revenue of the Company is upwards of 120,0001. per annum. The claims have been moderate, both in number and amount, and considerably less than shown by the mortality tables on which the Company's calculations are founded. The results in other branches of the business have been favourable. The business of the Commercial Life Assurance Company of Scot land has been transferred to the Standard Company during the past year, being 398 Policies, covering about 200,000/. of assurance, and being in addition to the new business of the year above reported. The business of the York and London Assurance Company, which was transferred to the Standard Company in 1844, continues to exhi bit satisfactory results in its progressive development. The report then alluded to the great extension of the Company's business in Scotland generally, and to the rapid progress of the Com pany in England, also in Ireland. The increasing success of the Branch Office opened by the Com pany in Glasgow was subject of congratulation, and the establishment of Local Boards in Aberdeen and Inverness were reported. The fallowing new Directors were elected : David Smith, Esq., W. 81., Edinburgh. Eagle Henderson, Esq , Merchant, Edinburgh. James Condie, Esq., Perth. James Lindsay, Esq., Lawrence Pountney-lane, London. By order of the Directors. WILLIAM THOS. THOMSON, Manager. The Standard Life Assurance Company is so constituted as to afford the benefits of Life Assurance to all who may seek its protection in that form which is best suited to attain the particular object in view ; while to those who look to the advaMage to be derived by way of bonus to their Policies from the favourable results of the business, there is every inducement to connect themselves with the Company. The annual contributions demanded for Life Policies have been fixed on the most approved informstion as to the value of life, and the Company have published an extedeive set of Life Tables (18 in number), setting forth its terms for an ordinary transactions, so that its principles are fully before the pub* Bonus additions to Policies have been declared on three occa sions—in 1835, in 1840, and in 1845. The following are examples of the additions made : Policy of 1825 for £l,OOO increased to £1,600 0 0 Do. 1830 do. do. 1,412 10 0 Do. 1835 do. ' do. 1,225 0 0 Do. 1840 do. do. 1,087 10 0 An 'investigation of the Company's affairs, and a division of pro fits, are made every five years, the next being in 1850. The system of bonus beln:r.an advantageous one for Policy-holders, the Directors of the Standard Company, in fixing the mode of division which they have ad6pted, gave the subject much attention, and after the most particular inquiry into the practice of other Companies who had divided profits, they adopted the survivorship principle followed by the Equitable Society of London, under whichsystem a policy has been known to realise at death six or seven timss its original amount. The Standard Company do not hold out the pro spect of similar results as regards the amount of additions to their policies, for there are peculiarities In the arrangements of the Lon don Equitable conferring Class Benefits, and there were advantages which arose in its earlier years, which are not in the present day open to any office But it is the principle of division which is re ferred to as common to both Companies, and which has been highly conducive to the production of the great results alluded to. To the terms and conditions of Assurance the Directors of the Standard Company have directed their particular attention, satisfied that the more liberal these are made, the wider will the practice of Life Assurance be extended, PETER EWART, Resident Secretary, 82, King William-street. Forms of proposal and every information may be obtained at the Company's Offices, 3, George-street, Edinburgh ; 82, King William street, London; 66, Upper Sackville-street, Dublin; 35, St. Vincent place, Glasgow ; or at any of the Agencies which are established in Vincent the principal towns of Scotland, England, and Ireland.

THE HAGUE, FEB. 24.—1 n the sitting of the Second Chamber of - the StateS-General to-day, the Chamber adopted unanimously—lst, the project of law for adding 100,000 florins to the Bth chapter of the budget for 1847, in order to defray the expense of commencing the works for the docks and other public works at Flushing; and 2dly, the project of law for adding 100,000 florins to chapter 4 of the budget of 1846 for civil and military prisons. In the debate on the last project of law, his Excellency the Minister of Finance gave the satisfactory assurance that all the expenses for the service of 1846 would be covered by the means already granted for that year, and even that t'here would he a snrplus of some 100,000 florins for the service of that year. FEB. 24.—Tne most important occurrence in the sitting of the Second Chamber to-day was the fact, that before proceeding to the vote on the second pto ject of law, his Excellency the Minister of Finance delivered a speech on the result of the state of the Finances for 1846. We have not time to enter into the details which such a subject requires, and to which we shall return when the speech is officially published ; but it is sufficient to state at present that notwithstanding the considerable increase of several chapters of the budget of 1846, and that including the funds required by the project of law which the Chamber has discussed to-day, the Finances for the service of 1846 present a surplus of nearly 100,000, resulting from the ways and mean', besides a colonial surplus of 300,000 florins above the original estimates. COBLENTZ, - FER. 22.—There is every indication that emigration from Germany to America will increase very c nsiderably this year.

Williams, who is at present in the Odin steam-frigate, conveying provisions to Ireland, went down the river on Saturday, in charge of Lieuten ant Sibbald, to try her engines. Shortly after 10 o'clock, a.m., Commodore Sir James. J. G. Bremer, K.C.B. and K.C.IL, Superintendent of Woolwich dockyard Captain Ellice, Controller of steam machinery; Captain Austen, R.N. ; Captain Schwabe, of the Russian navy ; Count Rosen ' on whose principle the engines have been constructed; Mr. Oliver Larg,. Master Shipwright; Mr. Lloyd, Chief Engineer • Mr. Atherton, Assistant to the Chief Engineer at Nionlwia Dockyard ; Mr. Smith, , inventor of the screw propaifir. ; tied Mr. Miller, of the firm of Miller and Ravenhill, Who constructed the en gines, went on board, and about 11 o'clock the vessel left her moorings, followed the. Black Eagle steam vessel, under the command of Mr. S,-B, Cook, master, R.N. The Amphion had on board the whole of her guns, consisting on the upper deck of two 56-pounders, of 85 cwt. each ; on the traversing platforms eight 32- pounders, six feet long each ; and two land service guns. On the lower deck, four 8-inch guns, 65 cwt. each ; and sixteen long 32-pounder guns, 50 cwt. each, with a large quantity of shot and shells. She was in excellent condition for trial. When she left her moorings the tide was running up with a strong north-east wind against her. The engines, when set to work, made 36 revolutions per minute, and gradually in creased their velocity to 44 per minute, which was the highest number during the trial. The engines on Count Rosen's principle are different from any used in the Royal nary of this country, being on a similar prin ciple to locomotive engines, and acting horizontally with a four-feet stroke attached to the axle of the screw propeller with which sho is fitted, and dispensing with the use . of cog-wheels, which were required for the Rattler, the Fairy, the Dwarf, and other screw-propeller vessels. The engines of the Amphion were only 150-horse power each, and were found sufficient to give the vessel the speed of 61 knots in an hour and a half against wind and tide, and when her full speed is attained she will average about six knots per hour. The engines worked re markably easy, and with scarcely so much noise as a pair of smooth engines of 20-horse power each. The construction of the engines, on the horizontal principle, gives them the advantage to a war steamer of being considerably under the water level, and not liable to danger except from shells falling perpendicularly, which could scarcely take place at a long range. The Amphion, during the experimental trip, was immersed 17 feet 11 inches its the fore part, and 18 feet 4 inches aft, and the trial gave great satisfaction. Owing to the state of the tide, she was under the necessity of bringing up at Greenhithe until the following day. She is well ap pointed with stores, and has two of Porter's patent anchors on board, one of 52 cwt., and another of 13 cwt. 2 qrs. Commodore Sir James J. G. Bremer, and the officers and scientific persons who went down the river in her, returned to Woolwich in the Black Eagle in the afternoon. DROGHEDA SPRING ASSIZES. Monday, Feb. 22. (Before Mr. Justice PERIUN.) BARKER V. TAYLOR. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an advertising agent, carrying on business in London, against the defendant, one of the provisional committee of the Irish West Coast Railway,, to recover the sum of 1,1881. 65., for advertising the undertaitg. The counsel for the plaintiff were Mr. Napier, Q.C., Mr. O'Hagan, all Mr. Keenan, and the counsel for the defendant were Mr. Tomb, Q.C., Mr. Holmes, and Mr. Perrin. The facts of the case were as follows :—ln the month of May, 1845, the project was first started, but did not appear before the public fully developed till the month of September, in the beginning of which month the prospectus was issued containing the names of a number of highly-respectable merchants and gentlemen who formed the provisional com mittee. Amongst them appeared the defendant in that capacity he was now sued. From the evidence produced in support of the plaintiff's case, it appeared that the defendant had given his name to the Irish attorney to the company on the 17th of September in that year to have his name pub lished as one of the provisional committee. His name, with many others, was forwarded to London, and was in due course inserted in the prospectus, and also published in the Irish and London daily and railway papers, and towards the latter part of that month the defendant made an application, through the company's agent in Dublin, for thirty shares to be allotted to him. The shares of the company, however, were not allotted, owing to the panic and other untoward circum stances. When it was fully ascertained that it would he useless to prosecute the scheme under the then state of affairs, it was abandoned by the English portion of the committee. The Irish committee, however, continued to, meet, and have done so to the present time. At one of their meetings in the month of December, 1845, it was resolved that Mr. Kelly, their solicithr, should be sent to London, with authority to make arrangements with the London committee for obtaining the plans, books, and everything connected with the company, and to ascertain the liabilities, and upon this agreement the Irish committee undertook to settle all claims on the company, it being their intention to proceed with the project. Mr. Kelly, thus armed, came to London, and obtained from the English committee the pl ans , b oo k s , &c., and went to the plaintiff on the 31st of December,lB4s, with an advertisement, which was duly inserted on January 1, 1846, requesting all the accounts against the company to be rendered forthwith, in order that they might be examined and discharged. On Mr. Kelly's return to 'Dublin, the committee met to receive his report, which was appproved, and his exertions were highly appreciated. The committee then forthwith passed a resolu tion authorising a circular which was duly issued, calling on the allottees to pay 3s. or 4s. per share towards the expenses incurred by the provisional committee, and thus to liquidate the claims on the company. The defendant had acted in this and at nearly every meeting as chairman, and in that capacity signed all the resolutions referred to. A certified copy of the registration of the defendant's name as one of the committee was put in, and the usual evidence as regards the work having been executed was then taken. For the defendant, it was contended that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant the case going to the jury, and that after the two recent decisions in the English superior Courts, the plaintiff must submit to a non-suit. For the plaintiff; it was contended that sufficient evidence had been adduced to carry the case to the jury, and therefore he declined to submit to a nonsuit. Mr. Justice PERRIN (addressing defendant's counsel) — They refuse to be nonsuited, and insist on my sendifig the case to the jury, and I believe they have a right to do so. Mr. TOMB—Very well, my Lord. Your Lordship will of course direct the jury to find for the defendant. Mr. Justice Plcustits—Certainly. His Lordship, in sum ming up, said that this was an action of assumpsit for work and labour done. The evidence was that the work and labour was done in London upon the orders of persons named Campbell, Aguilar, and Stuart. It did not appear that there was any distinct communication between the defendant and those who authorised the doing of any matters for which the action bad been brought, at least it had not been given in evidence. It was stated that the defendant was a provi sional committeeman, and having attended meetings, and his name being published in the papers, he was said to be liable, but little evidence had been given to show that the plaintiff distinctly relief upon him or looked up to him for payment. His Lordship then referred to the opinions of Sir Thomas Wilde and Baron Rolfe in recent cases, and said that the present action must be guided by those authorities; the jury he therefore thought ought to find a verdict for the defendant. _ . The jury then asked leave to retire, as a difference of opi nion existed among them. Mr. Justice PERRIN said the case rested on a question of law, and on such a question the jury should be directed by the Court ; but if they wished to consider the case further they had better retire. After an absence of a quarter of an hour the jury returned. One of the Jury.—My Lord, I am deputed by the jury to ask your Lordship whether it be a question of law or a ques tion of justice that the jury are called upon to decide ? Mr. Justice PERRITC—Law ; I told you so. Juror.—There is a difference of opinion between us on this subject as to what is justice; for, if we were at liberty, to consider the honesty of the case, we could not agree to a ver dict for the defendant. Another Juror. —ls it by justice or law we are to go, my Lord? Mr. Justice PERRIN.—It is a question of law, and it is the duty of thry to bow to the Court on a q uestion of law. Juror. — '&e bow to your Lordship. Mr. Justice PERRIN.—If I am wrong my decision can be set right. The jury then found, as directed, a verdict for the de fendant. The Counsel for the plaintiff shortly afterwards tendered a bill of exceptions, which was received by his Lordship. SUDDEN ILLNESS OF THE DUKE OF SOMERSET.— It is with extreme regret we make the announcement t h a t his Grace the Duke of Somerset was suddenly seized with a fit on Sunday afternoon last, at his residence, Wimbled on Park. Dr. Parrott 's services were immediately put into re quisition. Dr. Parrott succeeded in restoring the D u k e t o c onsciousness, but his Grace remained during the n i g h t i n a very precarious state, and yesterday afternoon the reports of his Grace's medical attendants were very far from encou raging. . Mr. O'ComiELL's HEALTu.—The answer to in quiries at the British Hotel, after the health of the Hon. and Learned Member for Cork, is, that " Mr. O'Connell is quite well; that he rides out daily, for two or three hours in the day, and eats well, frequently dining with three or four friends." Sometimes the answer is, however, varied to " Mr. O'Connell is much better, and is doing well." As we stated, however, on a former occasion, the state of the lion. and Learned Geinlema.o i 5 represented, by persons who hale the best means of judging, as far from being " quite well ;" and considerable doubt is entertained as to his recovery. _ NAVAL IN TELLIGEN CE. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Dauntless, new steam frigate, under the charge of Mr. John M'Donald, master of the Victoria and Albert Royal yacht, and manned by a crew composed partly of dockyard riggers, and partly of blue jackets from the Victory, was towed out of harbour yesterday morning by the Echo steam tee', nearly to the Nab Light, whence the Dauntless made sail, and steered down the channel with a fine breeze at E.N.E. The Dauntless has a large quantity of meal for the relief of the destitute in the north of Scotland, after disposing of which she will pro ceed to Napier's establishment in the Clyde, to receive her engines. The officers and crew employed in navi gating her are, it is understood, to return here by rail way, leaving Mr. Luke, inspector of shipwrights, in charge of the ship. The African steam-tug, Mr. Barker, master, returned from the wreck of the Sphynx on Friday night, and pro ceeded yesterday morning with Mr. C. P. Bellamy, assis tant master attendant, and a large party of mechanics, riggers, seamen, and marines, to take in tow a mooring lump and the two camels, which had been brought up in the course of the week, and repaired for the purpose, in tending to go forthwith to the Sphynx. It having been found on a former occasion that the camels did not tow well by ring bolts, they were slung in a peculiar way by ropes, and cleats nailed over the slings to keep them in their places. Unfortunately they had not calculated on any sea, but on reaching Spit head, it was found that there was a strong wind and considerable sea. The camels, which were fastened side by side, fell to quarrelling with each other, like Johnny Gilpin's two bottles of wine, and very quickly disencumbering themselves of slings, cleats, and all, took their own way singly through Spithead. The African was in consequence obliged to cast off and anchor the lump, and go in pursuit of the re fractory camels, which she succeeded in catching, and brought into the harbour again, leaving the t w o mooring lumps to be towed down by the Echo. The African waited till 7 o'clock last evening, while the necessary alterations and repairs were being made, and then once more proceeded with them for the wreck. We have not much faith in their efficacy, or rather, we doubt the possibility of properly fixing them in consequence of the surf. The Monkey steam-tug came up to-day at noon with a large paddle-box boat in tow, containing some of the heavy portions of the Sphynx's engines. From the Cernccn (Mauritius paper) of November 28 we learn, that " Her Majesty's corvette, the Snake, anchored on Wednesday evening in that harbour, hav ing on board the crew of the Levant packet, a vessel belonging to this port, which was wrecked on the reefs of the island of Cosmoledo on the sth of July last. The Levant packet had left Nosse-Be the 28th of June, with a crew of eleven men and seventeen passen gers. She had a cargo of salt beef for this place. After fruitless efforts to save the ship, they took the resolution to abandon her, but before they could reach the shore three men were drowned. At Cosmo ledo, the crew of the Levant packet found five fishermen who had been left there to fish by the Rosalie, of Sey chelles. This latter vessel was afterwards lost on the island of St. Juan de Neve, but we know nothing of the fate of her crew. The Snake arrived at Cosmoledo Nov. 2, and took off all the men of the Levant packet. The poor wretches had subsisted for four months on birds, eggs, fish, and turtle.
