CAPITAL, Two MILLIONS STERLING . CHIEF OFFICES, 40, PALL-MALL, LONDON. It is not generally known that Government makes an allow ance at the rate of Five per Cent. for the Country, and Four per Cent. for London, to Insurance Offices, for the Collection of the obnoxious Tax of 3s. per Cent. on Fire Insurance. The Unity Fire Insurance Association having originated the present movement for the repeal or modification of this tax, the Directors, in conformity u ith the views expr- ssed in the Petition' to Parliament, and in anticipation of the ame lioration they are now seeking from Government, and also as a substantial proof that they do not desire to make a profit by the collection of this unjust tat, .have determined on allowing to Policy Holders and intending Insurers the full benefit of the Discount. All Insurers in the Unity, therefore, on and after the 25th of March instant, will be allowed -the Discount upon the amount of Duty chargeable on their Policies, at the rate of £4 per Cent. on London, and .es per Cent. on Country Policies. By order of the Board, JOHN SM I 1 H. Local Manager, 11, Lord-street. 11:1P. The Petition for the Repeal or Reduction of the exces sive Duty on Fire Insurance will lie for Signature at the dlereury-office, To-morrow (Wednesday) and Saturday. NON-FORFEITURE OF POLICIES. IMPORTANT TO INTENDING ASSURERS. POLICIES effected in the WESTERN LIFE ASSURANCE and ANFUITY SOCIETY, 3, Parlia ment-street, London, (Established 18420 do not become void through the temporary inability, from unforseen circum stances, of an Assurer to PAY A PREMIUM when it becomes due, for by making application to the Directors he will be allowed once (or oftener should the value of the Policy at the time of application permit it), to have the privilege of SUS PENDING THE PAYMENT of that Premium (provided he has already paid three whole Premiums at least on the Policy). And his Policy will be endorsed to the effect that it continues in force, as it the Premium omitted were paid, being however charged with a debt equivalent to that Premium and its In terest at £5 per cent., which will be deducted from the amount of the Policy when the Assured dies. The Policy Holder shall, however, have it in his power to free his Policy from the debt at any time by paying the amount due. The great advantage of this feature must at once be seen, since it removes the usual objections to the ordinary system of Life Assurance, by which an Assurer often loses all the benefit be sought in paying regularly the Premiums for many years on a Policy. because from temporary difficulties he is unable to pay a Premium when it becomes due, and the Po licy consequently lapses to the Office. The Directors of this Society arc open to proposals for Assurance to any amount. The Society defrays the cost of Policy Stamps and Medical Fees so that the Assured are subject to no charge beyond the Premiums. Attention is also invited to the rates of ANNUITY GRANTED TO OLD LIVES, for which ample security is provided by the large capital of the Society.

TESTIMONIAL FROM BOSTON, UNITED STATES. To Mr. PROUT, 229, Strand, London.—Dear Sir,—The annexed from a thenmatic patient I forward to you in case it shonld be of any use.—Youra, BRAY and HAYES. Boston, Nov. 43, 1853. " I have been a great sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism more or less during the past twelve years ; I was confined to my bed for three months at a time in quite a helpless condi tion. I have been under the care of some of the most distin guished members of the medical faculty in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, but have never been able to get relief for any length of time until I was induced by a friend to try Blair's Pills, which I found to be quite effica cious. Since then I have not suffered from rheumatic pain. "Boston, Oct. 20, 1853. " ELISHA I. Prrrs." FURTHER PROOF OF THE EFFICACY OF BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, forwarded by Mr. W. H. Taylor, Warminster :—" Wm. Penny, of Conon. near Warminster, Wilts, was afflicted with rheumatism to such an extent that he could not move band or foot ; be was recommended by a gentleman to try Blair's Pills, and accordingly procured a box at Mr. Taylor's, of Warminster, from Which he derived so much benefit that he sent for another, which effected a com plete cure."—John J. Giles, Esq., of Frimley, near Bagsbot, says : " Having suffered much from acute rheumatism, I was induced to try your Blair's Pills, and beg to bear my humble testimony to their efficacy."—Mr. \Vm. Courtney, of Barton Stacey, Hants, says: " I had resort to your Pills, and within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought really to be known all over the world."

The Minister President, at the sitting of the Second Chamber on Saturday, made the following declaration, viz. :—" Prussia adheres to the terms of the Vienna note, and no measures will be taken without due reference to the interests of the German confederates. Prussia has already come to•an understanding with those states and Austria. The King is strongly impressed with the necessity of endeavouring to preserve Germany from the calamities of war, and to stand by those states whose territories are more exposed to attack than those of Prussia. Prussia will preserve an inde pendent attitude, and will resist. _every attempt that may be made to influence her conduct, come from what quarter it may. The strength and the sword of Germany will only be employed to defend German interests." The minister concluded by proposing a loan of thirty million thalers, which is to be extinguished by an augmentation of taxes. SWEDEN. A despatch from Stockholm, of March 7, announces that the Swedish Government has ordered the fitting out of seven line-of-battle ships, with crews amounting to 2,807 men. Prince Oscar had gone to Carlskroon to visit the fleet. Two camps are to be formed, one at Carls kroon, and-the other to the north of the capital. The garrison of the island of G o thl an d, i nc l us i ve of the local militia, is to amount to 16,000 men. THE WAR IN THE EAST. VIENNA, March 15.—The new propositions of Russia are based on the maintenance of existing treaties between Russia and the Porte. If this be admitted, Russia will quit the principalities, pro vided that the combined fleets quit the Black Sea and the Bosphorus. Negotiations will then be resumed, in which the propositions of Prince Menschikoff will form the base of a new convention with the Porte, in which the four powers are to participate. It is asserted that Austria and Prus sia were willing to agree to these terms, and that Baron Bourqueney, on the part of France, thought them worthy of consideratwn, but that Lord Westmoreland insisted on the revision of the exist ing treaties. It is also said that if the Western powers reject these terms, Austria will consider herself free from her engagement to them. " VIENNA, SUNDAY MORNING. - A ltussian courier,who arrived on the 16th,brought despatches to the effect that Russia will positively refuse to, evacuate the Principalities. Something of extreme importance was probably settled the day before yesterday between this government and Prussia, as a member of the Prussian Embassy went to Orderberg by special train. This was after a con ference between Count Buol and the Prussian Minister. The prohibition to export weapons from Austria into the Turkish provinces is extended to Moldavia and Wallachia. CONSTANTINOPLE, March s.—The Sultan has decreed the formation of two new armies, each of 30,000 regular troops, 15,000 irregular, and a train of 45 guns to each pasha. The officers of the Vul can, which has just returned direct from Sebastopol, observed not less than 10,000 men at work, throw ing up fortifications. Disturbances have taken place at Jerusalem. The Latin patriarch, Valerga, was expelled by the Greeks, and the French consul, not having been seconded by the authorities, felt it his duty to accompany him to Jaffa. The Russian government is said to be making extraor dinary levies of seamen. A recent ukase obliges all sons of free sailors, that are employed in the merchant navy, to serve 15 years in the imperial navy, from the date of the said ukase. Boys 15 years old are to enter the service immediately, and those only eight years of age are to be placed at the disposal of the Governor-general of Cronstadt, who is to send them to nautical schools lately esta blished. CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH 9.—Yesterday (Bth) a four hours' conference was held between the English and French Ambassadors and Reschid Pacha, touching the convention between the West ern Powers and Turkey. The chief points are :- 1. The Porte engages never to negotiate with Russia without the intervention of the Western Powers. 2. Amelioration of the condition of the Christians. A separate treaty is annexed for the following four. points :-1. Abolition of the poll tax (haratasch). 2. Right of Christians to be admitted us witnesses in judicial proceedings. 3. Right to hold landed property, without distinction of nationality or religion. 4. The civil rights of the Christians admitted in the army and the civil service. The destination of the English and French forces is to be left to the decision of the Sultan. Russia has prohibited the exportation of corn from Odessa. Turkey has also prohibited the exporta tion of corn. The Porte is preparing an expedi tion to Greece. A letter from Odessa, 22d ult., states that the Russian fleet was still at Sebastopol, and did not appear to be inclined to leave it. The Russians were continuing to throw up works for the de fence of the place. They were also fortifying the entrance of the Dnieper from Federovka to the mouth of the Bug. Batteries had been organized in the neighbourhood of the two fortresses of Otchakow and Kilbouroune, the garrison of which had been augmented. Works were also being thrown up at Odessa, in order to protect the town on the seaside ; but these defences are not sufficient to defend the port agairist any serious attak. _ _ ----- A telegraphic despatch, of the 11th instant, from the banks of the Danube, says that the 3rd brigade of the Austrian troops in Dalmatia is to consist of 20,000 men. Half of these forces will arrive from Verona. It must not be forgotten that Baron Jellachich, Ban of Croatia, can in a week have 120,000 men under his orders. From Bucharest, under the several dates of the Ist and 4th instant, we learn of the arrival ,of Gortschakoff, and of the existence of a report to the effect that the Russians will begin to act on the offensive about the 18th of the present month, and cross the Danube on three points—Oltenitza, Braila, and Giurgevo. A manifesto issued by the The Sultan, having course, France and p E e m rs p is e t r e e d r N in ich m o s las ob s s a t y i s na :-- te " England are marching against Russia. We will go forth in the name of the Holy Trinity to free our fellow-believers from the yoke of the op pressors. Let the oppressed make common cause with us." AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC. By the United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Captain Comstock, we have intelligence from New York to the 4th instant. The Baltic sailed from New York on the 4th, but came to an anchor near Sandy Hook, on account of a dense fog, until nine a.m. on the sth. On the 9th, at five p.m., when in lat. 46 30, lon. 47, in a fog, she ran into an open ing in an immense ice pack, filled with icebergs, nad was unable to get out until Saturday at noon, in lat. 44, lon. 48 40, having run a distance of over 300 miles to the south and west, between a large number of icebergs and large patches of field ice. She arrived in the river at 2 30, a.m., on Sunday, On the 14th, at six a.m., she passed a large steamer, bound W.; on the 17th, at ten a.m„ signalized packet-ship Constellation, bound W. ; on the 18th, at one p.m., passed ship P. L. Gil christ ; at 1 30 ship W. H. Harbeck ; at 2 30, brig Dyson ; and at 34.5, packet-ship Underwriter. The Baltic brought one hundred and eighteen passengers, among whom was the Hon. F. Hincks, Prime Minister of Canada, but no specie. In the House. of Representatives the official correspondence between Secretary Marcy and Mr. _Clay, U.S. Minister to Peru, respecting the pro gress of negotiations with Peru for an abandon ment of her guano monopoly had been read. Mr. Clay remarks that Peru depends entirely on the funds raised by the sale of guano to pay the interest on her national debt ; consequently it is very doubtful whether she can be induced to either lower the price of the article, sell one of the Chincha Islands, or make any other arrangement that would tend to benefit U.S. agriculturists to any great degree. It is understood, says the Herald, that the President has instructed Mr. Clay to demand full indemnity for past offences, and added that, in case of a refusal, the Pacific squadron will be ordered to Peru to enforce satisfaction. The Senate had passed the Nebraska Bill by a large majority. The building of the steamship William Norris, ' which is expected to cross the Atlantic in six days, had been temporarily stopped. She had not been sold to the Turkish Government. The un derwriters of the colossal ship Great Republic had offered. her for public sale. The White Squall, which was damaged by fire 'the same time as the former ship, had been sold for $550. The inhabitants .of Troxillo were in a great state of alarm in consequence of successive shocks ,of earthquakes, which had continued for several months. The war was still going on between Honduras and Guatemala, and the country was overrun with robbers, to the great detriment of the mercantile community and travellers ; conse quently trade was nearly at a standstill. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, MARCR 5. . . _ TIIE Money market is gradually assuming a morefavour able condition, and stocks have improved from 5 to 12 per cent. within the past thirty days. Exchange steady. Bills on London, 108 i to 109 ; Paris, 5.15 to 5.131. COTTON.—The Europa, with Liverpool dates to the 11th ult., arrived on the 25th ultimo ; and an active impulse was given to prices, the day's sales reaching nearly 6,000 bales, closing at 3c. advance. The business of that week amounted to 16,336 bales, and on Monday the quotations were advanced lc. to ic., at which the market was considered buoyant. PROVISIONS in fair demand. The transactions in flour have been chiefly for home use, but at declining prices. The export trade is quite limited. Pm bum— A large quantity now held at higher prices. _ NAVAL STORES in fair request. FREIGHTS. — To Liverpool : Cotton, id. to 7-16 d. • flour, 4s. ; heavy goods, 425. 6d.; grain, 15d. To London : Flour, 4s. 6d ; measurement goods, 30s. to 355. ; heavy goods, 455. to 50s. To Havre : Cotton, ie. ; measurement goods, $l2 ; flour, 95e.; grain 24c. CHINA. Hong Kong dates are to the 29th January. A Chinese junk had arrived on the 25th, only three weeks on her passage from the Gulf of Pecheli, and reported that Tien-sien was actually in posses sion of the rebel army, and that Pekin was closely invested. The Overland Friend of China, of Jan. 29, says :—" Shanghai has now een four months and upwards in the possessionwof the rebels. But reports are current of internal dissensions, and it is not improbable that before long the Imperialists will succeed in causing the place to be evacuated. As the party in possession are in no way steady in their professions of adherence to the Nankin dynasty, such a result will leave little cause for regret. At present the annoyance to foreigners, and absolute danger from falling shot, are much to be deplored. From other places on the coast we hear of nothing extraordinary. The whole coun try contains all the elements for a revolution—and that is, the spirit to urge them into a blaze. The professional rebels of the Toongkoon district have been obliged to succumb to the arms of the Canton Imperialists. The Kwang-chow-foo has returned to Canton, still leaving, however, large bodies of troops in the disturbed districts. Between Hong Kong and Canton, piracy is still of frequent occurrence ; but our naval authorities take little notice of it." AUSTRALIA. By the Sydney steamer we have received intell gence from Australia to the 7th of December, some days later than by the Great Britain. No material alteration in the state of mercantile business is reported. The demand for most kinds of merchandise continued steady. The Council of Victoria had been compelled to pass the new Goldfields Management Bill very hurriedly, the term of the temporary act expiring on the Ist of December. The new bill was read a third time on the 29th of November. Prices of goods on the Bendigo are lowering, chiefly in consequence of the facilities for bringing them up, afforded by the fine weather. Gold re mains at £3 15s. per ounce. Three cartloads of coal had been paladed through the streets of Melbourne, as the first raised in the province. The blocks, which were very large, were found near Cape Paterson, close to the sea shore ; they appeared to be surface specimens. The emigrant ship Olivia arrived at Adelaide on the 14th ult., with 358 emigrants on board, after a passage of 107 days from Plymouth. PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. THE following cavalry force is under orders for the East : —Light Dragoons-Bth, 11th, 13th, and • 17th. Heavy Dragoons—let or Royal Dragoons, 6th Enniskillen, 4th and sth Dragoon Guards. The whole military force in the United Kingdom, including all arms of the service, have been warned to hold themselves in readiness for im mediate service. DEPA.IITURE OP ADMISA.L CORBY.—Rear-Admiral Corry embarked on board his flag-ship, the Neptune, 1D), Captain Hutton, on Thursday morning, at eight o'clock, and at a quarter past ten her Majesty came up to Spithead in the Fairy to accompany the Neptune and Bulldog, Captain Hall, out to sea, on their leaving to join Sir Charles Napier's fleet. These two vessels weighed anchor at half-past eleven. All the ships at Spithead saluted her Majesty as she came up. The Fairy followed astern of the Neptune as far as St. Helen's, and then, by command of the Queen, the signal " Farewell" was run up at the Fairy's mast, which the Neptune acknowledged by manning, rigging, giving three cheers, and dipping colours. On the Queen's departure the Neptune set all her starboard studding sails, and went away in splendid style, with a fair wind and beautiful weather. On Saturday a notice was posted in the Underwriters'- rooms, to the effect that tenders were required at Somer set-house, London, for supplying vessels to appropriate to the transport of troops, to be chartered for four months certain, with power on the part of Government to dis charge the ships in England Or at the Mediterranean ; the ships to be fitted for the service at Liverpool. The division of Admiral Napier is telegraphed as having arrived near its first position, and will command the en trance of the Baltic. RUSSIA IN A STATE OF SIEGE. TILE Ilioniteur of Thursday, under the date of St. Pe tersburg, March the 7th, gives copies of five official documents, declaring various parts of the Russian domi nions to be in a state of siege. Each document is in the form of an Imperial ukase, dated March the 6th. The first states that, under present circumstances, his Majesty thinks it necessary to declare the Government of Ekatherinowsla and the arrondissement of Taganrog to be in a state of siege, and places those localities under the orders of the General of Cavalry M. Khomouloff, with the privileges granted by the regulations issued on the sth of December, 1846._ The second ukase declares St: Petersburg to be in a state of siege, and places the government under the autho rity of the Grand Duke, heir to the throne, Commander in-Chief of the Guards and Grenadiers, with the preroga tives accorded to the Commander-in-Chief of the army. By the third ukase, the Government of Esthonia and Livonia are placed in a state of Siege ; Esthonia to be under the orders .of General Aide-d&Cariip Berg ; and Livonia under those of the Aide-de-Camp General, Prince of Italy, Count Suwaroff-Kiminsky, Military Governor of Riga. The next ukase declares the Government of Archangel to be in a state of siege, under the orders of Vice-Admiral Boel, Military-Governor of the place. By the fifth ukase, the kingdom of Poland, and the governments of Courland,' Kowno, Wilna, Grodno, Vol hynia, and Podolia are declared to be in a state of siege. The ukase also states that the government of Bessa rabia, and that part of the government of Cherson, situated on the right bank of the Bug, which were de clared to be in a state of siege by the ukase of the 19th of November, 1853, are to be now in a similar position ; and -that all these places are to be under the authority of Field-Marshal General Prince of Warsaw, Count Paske witsh d'Erivan, Commander-in-Chief of the active army. The ukase, in addition, states that the Emperor ordains that the government of Podolia, the part of the govern ment of Cherson, situated on the right bank of the Bug, and the province of Bessarabia, shall, at the same time, be placed under the authority of the Aide-de-Camp Gene ral Prince Gortschakoff, commander of the troops of the 3rd, 4th, and sth corps of infantry, who is to have the prerogatives granted to the commanders of detached corps by the ukase of December 6, 1846. The ukase then provides that the kingdom of Poland and the governments of Courland, Kowno, Volhynia, and Grodno, during the absence of the Field-Marshal, shall be under the authority of General Aide-de-Camp Count Ru diger, and that Aide-de-Camp General Baron Osten-Sacken shall retain in Bessarabia and in the government of Cher son the powers granted to the commanders of detached corps by the ukase of November 19, 1853. TIIE COAST GITAE.D.—At all the coast guard stations a boat's crew of the oldest hands were retained, in order that the stations should not be entirely under the con troul in experienced persons. ABD-EL-KADER. — The Journal d'lndre-et-Loir pub lishes the following letter, addressed by Abd-el-Kader to the Mayor of Amboise, in anlwer to a letter from the latter, announcing the completion of the monument erected over the grave of some Arabs who died during their captivity :—" Praise to the one God ! To our excel lent and well-beloved friend, M. Trouve, Mayor of Am boise. I salute you, as well as all my friends residing in your town. May the peace of God be with you. I received your letter, dated the 6th December last, in which you announced to me that, according to the orders given by my illustrious liberator, our august Emperor Napoleon 111., the works are terminated. I thank you for announ cing this news to me ; and I shall, therefore, be always grateful towards the august Emperor.—Salutation.— ABD-EL-KADMI BEN MAIII-EDDINE. - 18th of the Dpmaz el-Ouet, 1270 (Feb. 15.") ATTACK ON A FRENcri VESSEL. — lntelligence has reached Havre of the pillage and destruction, on the western coast of Africa, of the Tourville, of that port. The vessel, it seems, on the 7th of December, ran on a rock at the mouth of the river Anger, which rock was not only not marked on the chart, but was not even known to the natives. The bottom of the Tourville was so damaged that water rushed in faster than it could be pumped out. Finding the water gaining constantly on him, the captain resolved to run the vessel on the coast, in order, if possible, to save the cargo. No sooner had he approached the shore than about fifty pirogues, con taining armed men, attacked the ship. The captain and his crew defended themselves for some time, but the number of assailants increased, and at last they were obliged to abandon the vessel: they had two men wounded. They went to a little village, and from thence proceeded to the Isle of Corisco. As they left, they per oeived the blacks fighting on board the Tourville, and that they had set fire to her: two .of the masts were already burnt down. When the French .commander of Cabon was informed of what was taking place, he sent a force to take vengeance on the bandits. This force de stroyed their village and plantations. After these evegts all the crew,were attacked with fever, and two died. Tht captain, however, having recovered, had.been appointed the.command..of a vessel about to sail la _Havre, THE TEN PER- CENT. MANIA. PROM THE TIMES. THE English, as we are told on every side, are an emi nently sensible, practical, reasoning, and rather dull people. They calculate when they are told to believe. They detect an imposture at a glance, and see through a superstition as they would a trick at cards. How their ancestors ever came to worship stocks and stones, to offer human holocausts in vast wicker images, or to think the misletoe of the oak more sacred than that of the apple tree, passes comprehension. At all events John Bull, even in fustian and shirt-sleeves, is too wise for all this now. He understands steam-engine and looms, can calculate percentages, strike an average, and do a sum in Rule of Three. The day-school has banished false religions - to the bats and owls, and the only fear is, that with so much edu cation to be got for the asking, and so many substantial comforts to be earned by common industry, religion of any kind should be voted a superfluity. Nevertheless, it is in this England whereof we write that Joanna Southcote and Thom were indigenous; where mesmerism, table turning, and spirit rapping have spread to all classes ; whence tens of thousands of Mormons are going off to the Salt Valley ; where almost anybody, if he give his mind to it, can gain converts to anything. Fanaticism is not to be eradicated by figures, and railways themselves subserve, in the pride of might, to the most perverted forms of the spiritual element. So we are not surprised to see the growth of a new superstition, a new craftsman's idol. The operatives of Lancashire have discovered a new re ligion, and are performing pilgrimages worthy of Jugger naut or the Holy Coat of Treves. Their spiritual zeal carries them beyond the vulgar considerations of comfort or economy. Monster trains convey them to the places where this new-born piety may be refreshed by the exhor tations of suitable preachers and the devotional hymns of the new worship. Under the cold blue sky they listen with edifying submission to the pious raptures of inspired teachers. Fathers, mothers, children, flock to the festival. The aged forget their crutches, and the sick their pains, in this holy ardour. And what is this new Gospel which has illuminated the darkness of Lancashire, and made it the Galilee of this land ? Prepare yourself, gentle reader, for this new and astounding revelation of the Divine wisdom and mercy. The awful truth which has broken through the darkness of ages, which has penetrated every heart, and warmed every soul in the industrious north, is the eternal and immutable necessity of Ten per Cent. more wages. It is a sober and a portentous fact. From all Lanca shire, by ordinary trains and by special trains, there as sembled last Sunday, which appears to have been adopted by the new religion fOr its day of worship, such a congre gation as never was seen at Hoghton, we presume one of the high places of the Ten per Cent. divinity. They who could not come had sent their Peter's pence in the shape of more than two thousand pounds. Their preachers pro claimed a new era, heralded by myriads of conversions• Preston is the favoured city of this new church, and it may almost vie with Rome or Nauvoo in the amount of contributions poured in by the devout Lancastrians. " Let thousands more be rolled in," exclaimed one pious man, " for every man in this assembly must know the great fact, that money is the sinew of war." Certainly, if Ten per Cent. more wages is a Gospel from heaven, the sinews of war may be considered a great fact. The creed is de veloping. But why should it not embrace all England, all classes, all employments, and all relations ? Who does Mt want Ten per Cent. more wages ? Who will not acknow ledge that money is the sinews of war ? The millowners themselves may embrace the new faith, for they want Ten per Cent. more profits. The clergy may sit under brothers Lawless and Cowell, for they want Ten per Cent. more rent charge and surplice fees. All the functionaries of the State, all the Army and Navy, want Ten per Cent. more pay. We fondly hope we have ourselves been instrumental in pro curing a boon to the common soldier, equivalent to about Ten per Cent. Let us be enrolled among the apostles of Ten per Centism. The doctrine is easy, the burden is light. You have only to believe that your soul is safer with 225. a-week than with 205., or with £llO a-year than with £lOO, and that the man who will not give you the larger sum instead of the smaller is a son of Belial. The beauty of the doctrine is its universality ; for who is there who does not want more money, more rent, more tithes, more salary, more commission, more profit, more allow ances and pay in one form or another ? Master and man can worship at the same altar, even if their prayers seem commercially incompatible. But let Heaven settle that difficulty, and let the operative on the one side pray for Ten per Cent. more wages, and the master for Ten per Cent. more profits, out of the same order. But is there really no remedy for this delusion ? Do we witness the veritable beginning of a new religion, the only bond of which shall be a common interest in an in crease of pay. Surely there are gentlemen and there are clergymen in Lancashire who can teach these poor dupes something better than this, and inform them that to offer public worship and sing hymns for triumph in a struggle for Ten per Cent. more wages is not one jot better than fall ing down before a stock or a stone. True, two shillings a week more wages may present itself in a more lovely form than a grim figure, all eyes, mouth, and nose, with dog's teeth and matted hair, like the gods of the South Sea Islanders. Two shillings a-week may stand for more bread, meat, and beer ; better coats, shoes, and stockings, a larger house, and so forth. But, nevertheless, comforts and luxuries mount up into a very sorry idol. If operatives may meet by tens of thousands on a heath and sing hymns for boiled beef on Sundays, then their betters with equal piety may offer up anthems for turtle soup, and iced punch. No one can say how far devotees will go when they once place their affections on creature comforts and a handsome percentage. Certainly all this spurious zeal looks ill for the religion of the north, and for the influence of those whose duty it was to set the example. Is it true that Moloch has been worshipped so long and so exclusively by his more fortunate followers that the golden contagion has spread, and the money-making, money-spending mill owner, now finds himself crushed by the converts to his own faith ? The Roman critic observed, that when Homer's chiefs went mad, their followers suffered. Is there no such madness, no exclusive worship of Z. s. d. in Lan cashire, that has at last infected the silly multitude, and sent them worshipping the god of their betters ? We should be better satisfied of the result if we saw some thing done by those who alone can do it to strip this sel fish agitation of its fanatical guise.- To ask for Ten per Cent. more wages is allowable, and even laudable ; to in sist on it as a divine right, and to invoke the favour of Heaven on the demand, is simple blasphemy. Surely there are people in Lancashire whose sacred profession, whose high social position, and whose affectionate relations with those whom they employ, will enable them to address these fanatics with effect. If there are none such, and the multitude of Lancashire arc really left like sheep without a shepherd, whose fault is it but theirs who, being placed by Heaven in a place of high moral influence, have thought of little else but getting their own Ten per Cent., their £lOO,OOO ? COMMON LAW PROCEDURE.—The Lord Chancellor's bill for the further amendment of the process, practice, and mode of pleading in and enlarging the jurisdiction of the' superior courts of common law at Westminster contains 100 provisions. It is proposed to enact that a judge of the superior courts may, by consent, try questions of fact. Two judges may sit at the same time for trial of causes pending in the same court. The Court or judge is to be empowered to direct an arbitration before trial. A special case may be stated and question of fact tried. An arbi trator may state a special case. There are several clauses with respect to matters referred to arbitration. Regard ing juries some material alterations are to be made. The qualifications of jurors are raised to £3O a-year rating. Common juries may be made up of persons qualified to serve on special and commons juries. Jurors are to have, on the payment of is., a certificate to exempt them from further service for a certain period. A jury is to be dis charged after 12 hours if they cannot agree, unless they desire further time ; " and they may during such time be furnished with fitting accommodation and necessary re freshment by leave of the judge, and, at the expiration of such time, if they cannot agree, they shall be discharged, and an entry of the fact of such discharge shall be made upon the hack of the record, and the cost of such abortive trial shall be costs in the cause." Upon the discharge o f a jury the cause may be tried again. "It shall be lawful for the Court or j adge at the trial of any cause, when th ey or he may deem it right for the purposes of justice, to ord er an adjournment for such time, and subject to such terms and conditions as to costs and otherwise, as they or he may think fit." If any person called as a witness shall re fuse from conscientious motives to be swor n , th e Court upon being satisfied of the sincerity of such objection, is, to permit such witness, instead of being swo rn , t o make a declaration, which is set forth, which declaration is to have the same force and penalties atta c h e d t o i t as an oath. On certain points a party may discredit his own witness. A comparison of disputed writing is to be permitted. In case of an unstamped document or insufficiency of duty, it is not to be read, unless the same be paid to the officer , of the court, with £1 additi ona l penalty. On application for a new trial, whether the rule is m a d e a b so l u t e or not, a right of appeal is to be given. The Court of Error, the Exchequer Chambers, and the House of Lords are to be courts of appeal. O ra l examination may be allowed on motions. Another important alt era ti on t o be e ff ec t e d by this measure is with ref erence to judgment debtors. A creditor who has obtained a judgment in a superior court may require his debtor to attend before a Master, and be exammedas to debteowing him, and they may be attached for the payment of the 'particular debt, which attachment is to be binding. Rules and orders are to be made to carry out the present second mea sure on common law procedure, which is to take .effect on,the.24th of October next.
