This Office was Established in 1841, and possesses tables formed on a scientific basis for the Gssurance of diseased lives. The urgent necessity forsuch an institution may be estimated by the fact that two-thirds of the population are not assurable as healthy lives, and that about onein five of the applicants to other offices is declined on examination. And that during the period of five years, as shown at the An nual General Meeting of the Proprietors in November list, up wards of '2009 proposals had been made to the Society, covering Assurances to above One Million. It is the only Company possessing tabulated rates of pre .mium for Disease deduced from extensive data. 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 ster ling, fully subscribed, affords a complete guarantee for the ful filment of the Company's encagements.

This Company was established in the year 1836, was consti toted by Act of Parliament in 1842, and embrace all the im provements in the science of Life Assurance. The following advantages to assurers may be particularly re- , ferred to - 1. - Its engagements are guaranteed by a paid-up capital 'and wealthy proprietary, being interposed between the assured and all responsibility. 2. Parties assuring " with participation" in profits, receive two-thirds of all profits arising from that department of busi. ness; while those assuring without participation in profits are charged very moderate premiums, graduated according to a liberal scale. 3. The premiums for short periods are such as greatly to en courage assurances, for temporary purposes. 4. There is an annual investigation of the Company's affairs; and an annual declaration of bonus in the above proportion to holders of policies on the participation scale. The principle of annual declaration of bonus, instead of that usually adopted of quinquennial or septennial declaration, is especially deserving of the notice of parties intending to effect Life Assurance. 5. This Company having recently reduced the premiums ge nerally required for voyage and residences abroad, they are enabled to grant assurances on parties proceeding to, or at pre sent resident in, any place bevond the limits orEurope, upon the most favourable terms. Assurers are at liberty to proceed to any part of Europe without additional charge. 6. There is no charge for Entry Money.

RHEUMATIC MEDICINE, prepared from the Pre , :cription of an eminent Physician. This truly efficacious Specific is recommended to all persons suffering from Gout, Rheumatism, Tic-doloreux, and all affections of the nervous system, as relief is •afforded in a few minutes, and a perfect cure established in a day or two : a single dose alone affords relief in the most severe attacks. The following testi monials and names are inserted by permission of the parties writing the same:— Ipstatch, 18th December, 1842. Sir,—Having for four or five years been much troubled with repeated attacks of the Gout, and having tried several different medicines advertised for the relief of that most excruciating pain, I was at length advised to take Maltster's Gout and Rheu matic Medicine, (prepared by you,) and I have much pleasure in adding my testimony to the great efficacy of it. One dose taken by me as soon as the symptoms appeared, has often pre vented a violent attack. I have recommended it to several friends who have also received great relief from it, and it re quires only to be more generallyutown to be duly app rec i ated. You have my permission to make use of this letter in any way you may think fit.-1 am, sir, yours respectfully, JAS. lIAILL, Auctioneer, St. Matthew's -street. Mr. S. S. Manning, Woodbridge. Barg, April 22d, 1844. Mr. Manning, Sir,--I have great pleasure in being able to bear testimony to the efficacy of your Gout and Rheumatic Me dicine; in several cases, it has done wonders ; one in particular deserves publicity, and I am permitted to say you may make what use you please of this gentleman's name : Mr. Mountain, formerly a horse-dealer of many years standing, and very well known in this neighbourhood, found instant relief, and was quite cured by a second bottle; he says he was suffering from one of the severest attacks of Gout (when he took it) he ever experienced, and in future intends keeping a bottle always in the house. I feel satisfied if this medicine was more generally , known, you would soon find an increased demand for it. Wish. inn you success with it, I remain, Sir, yours respectfully, C. DALTON.

SCI ND E t appears from a Parl'amentai y paper jest published, that the gross total amount of the estimated revenues of the province of Scinde in 1846-47, is 33,86,990 Company's rupees, and the total amount of the charges 80,70,377. The estimate of the accountant to the Bengal Government makes the revenues of the province amount to 30,04,309, and the charges to 83,14,510 Company's rupees.,__ `NE FOOD QUESTION IN FRANCE.—The Moniteur announces, that the Valenciennes branch of the Northern Railroad had I ransported, durin g the first ten days of March, 526,000 kilogrammes of grain, viz. 368,000 of wheat, and 151,000 of rye. Wheathad fallen If: per hectolitre at Haze bronek on Monday ; lf. at Bailleul on Tuesday; 2f. at Mel ville on Wednesday; and 2f. at Estaires, and If. 50c. at Cassel on Thursday. Considerable arrivals of grain at Dun kirk and Calais had occasioned the fall. The Government steamer Solon had sailed from Havre, to take her station in the Channel, being one of the steamers appointed to tow vessels laden with grain which may be delayed by contrary winds. The Commandant-General ofthe Department of the Lower Seine had voted a sum of 500,000 f., to be employed in works of public utility throughout the department. The Gazette des 7'ribunaux publishes a letter from Or leans, dated the 11th inst., 10 o'clock p.m., stating that the population of several localities traversed by the canal having congregated 'on its banks to plunder boats laden with flour and wheat. The Prefect of department, ac companied by the Attorney-General and a number of other magistrates, had immediately left for the disturbed districts with a strong detachment of gendarmes. Seve ral omnibuses tilled with soldiers also proceeded thither post-haste ; but when they arrived the agitation which had shewn itself had entirely subsided. Flour fell ten francs on the Orleans market on the 17th. An attempt was made by the populace of Vannes, on the 15th inst., to oppose the embarkation of a quantity of wheat from Ouray. The prefect, mayor, and the other authorities, having failed in prevailing on the people to desist and disperse, a company of soldiers was ordered to clear the quay. The appear ance of the troops nowise intimidated the multitude, and the women in particular, roused to the highest pitch of . exasperation, were deaf to all advice and exhortation. The mayor having directed the three legal summonses to he made, and the people still refusing to disperse, the gendarmes advanced towards the crowd, who retired murmuring, but without offering any resistance. The next morning all th e t roops of the garrison were called out, the carts were escorted by soldiers to the quay, and the grain was embarked without any opposition, LATEST FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. (From the Times.) By accounts from Madrid of the 14th instant, reports of a ministerial crisis were again in circulation. :The Ca binet, on receipt of despatches from Navarre, had re solved to send general Serrano to that province, with the title and powers of Captain-General. A decree was ae cordingly prepared and submitted to the approbation of the Queen, who asked for time to consider. From Madrid journals and correspondence of the 15th instant, we learn that the Queen not having signed the decree appointing General Serrano Captain-General of Navarre, the Ministry had appointed him to inspect the troops stationed in Naverre and the Basque provinces, and enjoined him to proceed to his destination on the 14th. The General having refused to obey the order, an extraordinary Cofincil was held to deliberate on the mat- . ter. It was attended by all the Cabinet, by General Narvaez, Messrs. Martinez de la Rosa, Mon, Pidal, Do noso Cortes, Castro y Orozoo, Gonzales Bravo the Marquis de Viluma, and other distinguished members of the Moderado party. The Council unanimously resolved that General Serrano should be tried for dis obeying the order of his superiors. At three o'clock on the 15th all the Ministers repaired to the Senate, and communicated to that assembly the official decrees, nomi nating Generals Serrano, Espeleta, and Fernandez, in spectors of the troaps - in the provinces. A document, drawn up by General Serrano, was next read, in which he stated what had passed between him and the Cabinet dur ing the two previous days, and asked if he ought to quit Madrid pursuant to the orders. of the Cabinet, or continue to sit in the Senate. The Duke de Sotomayor next rose, and after explaining the circumstances referred to, de clared that the Cabinet had determined to bring the General to trial for disobedience and insubordination. M. Luzurriaga urged the assembly not to,adopt any hasty decision in a matter: of so delicate a nature; but the /kli. nister of Justice insisting on the necessity of a prompt and decisive resolution, a committee was chosen to report on the affair in the course of the day. 1 We have Lisbon news to the 15th inst. An extraordi nary apathy was pervading all classes, civil and military, in the country. Saldanah had not yet proceeded to Ain vest Oporto, but the junction of a port' n of his forces with those of Casal had at last been eft' . The monied difficulty still subsiste d the probabi lity remained unchanged that the Queen would be obliged . ; to accept . British mediation. A 'limber of inconsiderable 'skirmishes had taken place, in which the advantage was said to be on the Queen's side, but with little tendency to bring the civil war to a conclusion. Some serious desertions, however, had taken place from the Junta to Saldanha. The Government had adopted further measures with a view to the reduction of the discount upon Bank of Lis bon notes (including the emission of 2,400 contos of new inscriptions of the internal debt, the produce to be ap plied in cancelling the notes), but so far without success. THE WEST INDIA MAILS. The royal mail company's steamer Forth, C. M.

Sir, —I beg to forward to you some results relative to the comet discovered here on February 6, which will, per haps, interest your astronomical readers. During the last ten days this object has been distinctly visible to the naked eye in the constellation Andromeda, shining as a star of the forth magnittule, with a tail extending (at present) about four degress from the nucleus. The perihelion passage will take place about six o'clock on the evening of March 30, when the distance of the comet from the sun's surface will be little more than four times the real diameter of that luminary, or about 3,500,000 miles; consequently, the intensity of light will be 100 times stronger than at present, or once stronger than that of a star of the fourth magnitude. Very few comets have approached so near the sun as this. My object in writing now is to suggest the possibility of our seeing the comet in broad daylight on March 30. The great comet of 1843 was distinctly observed at noon day over the whole continent of America, and likewise in the south of Europe ; and on comparing the intensity of light of the two comets given by theory, there is no suf ficient difference to render the visibility of the present comet in daylight impossible, though we are of course un able to Jude how physical circumstances may affect the degree of brilliancy. At noon on March 30, according to my corrected elements, the comet will be distant from the Fun four times his apparent diameter, and nearly south-south-west of his centre. Towards sunset, or about perihelion, the distance will be somewhat less. The diameter of the couetic nebulosity is about 65,000 miles, and that of the more condensed central part 8,000 miles ; the tail extends more than 5,000,000 miles from the head. At the beginning of April this appendage (judging from analogy) will no doubt reach a much greater length, and wilt probably be seen in the western heavens soon after sunset, though the nucleus may be lost in the twilight early in the month. It is almost unnecessary for me to remark, that obser vations made about the time of perihelion would be ex tremely valuable for the determination of the elements. I remain, Sir, yours very respectfully,_____ - J. It: HIND. Mr. Bishop's Observatory, Regent's-park, March 20.

INQUEST—MEDICAL CASE.—Yesterday, an inquest was held before Mr. Curry on view of the body of Mary Ann Knox, the wife of Thomas Knox, and who lived at No. 29, Richmond-row. It appeared that the deceased was in the family way. Mr. Bullock, surgeon, was em ployed to attend her—he had before lodved in the house. On Friday deceased was ill and the doctor was sent for. She observed to a witness on that day (before he was called ), though she appeared to be quite well, that a great change had taken place in her condition within a short time. She said she had discharged great clots of blood of the size of eggs. Subsequently the doctor attended her in her confinement, and it appeared that, after resort ing to the usual measures in cross birth, he delivered de ceased of a dead female child. He had previously admi nistered medicine to the deceased. It appeared from some of the evidence,. that the surgeon was slightly affected by liquor on his first visit. - One witness left deceased for about an hour, and on her return found the surgeon in a state of intoxication, and unable to answer any question. Deceased-at this time- wag tench - Worse than previously, and died about eight o'cle.cl: the same night. A second witness steed that she did not think that the doctor paid deceased that attention which was requisite. The care was adjourned, for further evidence, until Thursday. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Woods, surgeon, Ulu t the cause of death was flooding, or haemorrhage, scarcely a drop of blood being left in the body.

COOKE, Box-KEEPER, TIIEATRE ROYAL.—On Thursday next, it will be perceived by the Advertisement in another column, that Mr. G. G. Cooke, the indefatigable and polite box-keeper of the Theatre Royal, takes his benefit. Few playgoers who have ex perienced the attention of Mr. Cooke, will doubt th a t hi s friends will :rally round him on this occasion, and we. sincerely trust that a fashionable and crowded house will reward his efforts. TOE CORN mans.—The arrival of spring removes not the gloom that lowers aver almost every branch of com mercial enterprise, but we trust, nay we prognosticate, that the apathy evinced by pUrcbasers, which has dogged the railway-like speculations in cotton and corn, may pro duce a re-action alike beneficial to all classes. The . ex horbitant .prices of grain led to the forwarding of unlimited orders to purchase to all supplying ports, creating, of course, in foreign markets an unexpected demand, and eau;ing an unprecedented advance in value; but the pur chases that have been made to supply the English market are so great, and almost all on speculation, that even with increasing prices in America, we have an important decline here. The fact is that the flour to arrive is now antici pated to he more than will supply the wants of the coin- , triunity. Speculators having been led under the idea of a scarcity in America to buy too extensively. This is borne out by the news by the Cambria, the papers by which quote flour at prices, when freight is considered, t_ which . are greatly above its value in the English markets. every manoeuvre is being tried by speculators to spew - a decrease in stocks in hand and to arrive. Last week no ; less than 4000 barrels of flour paid dock and town dues for shipment to France. We know, however, that there are articles occasionally passed which are never intended to be exported, but merely to show a decreased stock, • and which a return of dues are applied for some d ays after the sailing of the vessel "as short ship." ..,. .Lirtrpwl Telegraph. • STROPS.
