And that during the period of five years, as shown at the An nual General Meeting of the Proprietors in November last, up •wards of 2000 proposals had been made to the Society, covering Assurances to above One Million.

This Company was established in the year 1836, was consti tuted by Act of l'arliament in 184.2, 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- Hess; 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 beyond the limits of Furope, 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.

"GOUT !I ! • Try 3IALSTER'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC MEDICINE, prepared from the Prescriptinn 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 relict' 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:— Ipswich, BM December, 1841 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, 1 was at length advised to take Minster'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 gnires only to be more generally known to be duly appreciated. You have my permission to make use of tkis letter in any way you may think fit.—l am, sir, yours respectfully, JAS. HAILL, Auctioneer, St. Matthew's -street. Mr. S. S. Manning, Woodbridge. Bury, April 22d; 1844. Mr. Manning, Sir,—l have great pressure 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 1 am permitted to say you may make what use you please of this gentleman's name Mr. Mountain, formerly a horse-dealer of ninny years standing, and very well knovin 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 over experienced, and in future intends keeping a bottle always in the house.

SCINDE.—It appears from a Parramenta, y paper just published, that the gross total amount of the estimated revenues of the province of Scinde in 1846-47, 633 , 8 6,990 Company's rupees, and the total amount of the charges 86,70,377. The estimate of the accountant to the Bengal Government makes the revenues of the province amount to 30,04,309, and the charges to 83,14,310 Company's rupees. THE FOOD QUESTION IN FRANCE --The Muniteur announces, that the Valenciennes branch of the Northern Railroad had transported, during the first ten days of March, 526,000 kilogrammes of grain, viz., 368,000 oh wheat. an d 154,000 of rye. Wheat h a d f a ll en lf. per hectolitre at Haze brouck on Siouday; If. at ihailleul 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 ofthe Lower Seine had voted a sum of 500,000 f., to be employed in works of public' utility throughout the' department. The Gazette des Tribanaux 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 filled with soldiers also proceeded thither post-haste, but when they arrived the agitation which had shown 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 othe r au th or iti es, having 'tailed in prevailing on the people to desist and disperse, a company of robliers was ordered to clear the quay. The appear ance of the troops nowiseintimidated 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 be 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 , the troops of the garrison were called out, the carts were escorted by soldiers to the quay, and the grain - wa embarked without any oppoe4tion. 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 ac 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 Council 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 Vilunia, and other distinguished members '• of the Modcrado 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 Mini s t ers re p a i re d t o th e S ena t e, ' an d communicated to that assembly the official decrees, nomi nating Generals Serrano, Espeleta, and Fernandez, in spi ctors of the troops 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 Mi 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. 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 in-- vest Oporto, but the junction of a portion of his forces with those of Casal had at last been effected. The monied difficulty still subsisted, and 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 raid to be on the Queen's side , but with little_ tendency to bring th e c i v il . 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 reduotion 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. Chap man, commander, arrived at Southampton on Saturday afternoon at 5 p. in., bringing mails of the following dates, in charge of Lieutenant Brown, Admiralty agent;-Puerto Cabello, 18th February ; St. Jago de Cuba, 23rd February ; Jamaica, February, 25th ; Puerto Rico, February 27th ;• Demerara, 18th February ; Tobago, 19th February; Tri nidad, 20th February ; Barbadoes, 24th February; Gre nada, 26th February ; St. Vincent, 26th February; St. Lucia, 26th February ; Martinique, 27th February ; Do minique, 27th February ; Guadalope, 27th February; Antigua, 28th February ; Montserrat, 28th February ; Nevis, 28th February ; at. Kitts, 28th February; Tortola, Ist March ; St. Thomas, Ist March. Her freight consists of 225 ounces 16dwts. of gold; 1681 ounces old silver,. and £lO5 silver bullion: 74 tierces, 2 casks, and 14 bar-. rels of coffee ; 6 serons of indigo, and packages of sundries; 1 tierce and 1 cask of beeswax ; 35 packages of arrowroot; 46 packages of succades; 3 casks of tortoise-shell, &c., and • 51 passengers, including General Middlemore and family. The Forth brings little intelligence of interest. The crops . are in a satisfactory state throughout the island. TIIE COMET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l 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, shilling as a. star of the forth magnitude, 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 bread 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 gun 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 conetic nebulosity is about 65,000 miles, and that of the more condensed central part B,ooo' miles ' • the tail extends more th an 5,000,000 m il es f rom the head. At the beginnine , of April this app en d age (judging from analogy) will * no doubt reach a much greater length, and will 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 alsn3st 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. R. HIND., Mr. Bishop's ObserCalory, Regent's-park, March 20.. OPENING OF TRE PORT OF BIRKENHEAD.—Next Mon day week, the sth April, Easter Monday, will be a great day in Birkenhead, for from that day the inhabitants of this increasing community may date the commencement of its existence as a port. On that day the Commissioners' Dock, the Birkenhead Dock Company's Warehouses, the Chester and Birkenbeid Extension Line of Railway to the docks, and the Birkenhead Park, will be opened, Lprd Morpeth, the chief com Missioner of woods and forests, taking the chief part in the several ceremonies. The oc casion will be observed in Birkenhead as a gala, and every arrangement will be-made for making the day one of ge neral enjoyment to. the inhabitants. There will be a grand dejewte in one of the spacious rooms at the . dock warehouses, and a ball at the same place in the evening.. Special trains will be provided for the purpose of convey. ing the distinguished visitors from the metropolis and other places, and numerous cheap trains will be despatched froM various parts, in order to give the inhabitants of dis tant districts an opportunity of att,nding the fete. Among,t the distinguished visitors expected are Lord Lincoln, Lord Auckland, Lord John Hay, Sir Thomas Fremantle, Hon. Mr. Gore, Mr. Pemberton, Mr. Ward, and the county members. 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 lodged 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 toanswer any question.. DocettPcd at this time Wits much worse than previously, and died about eight o'cici6k the same •night. A second witness stated that she did not think that the doctor paid deceased that attention which was requisite. The case - was adjourned, for further evidence, until Thursday. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Woods, surgeon, that the cause of death was flooding, or hwinorrhage, scarcely a drop of blood being left in the body. Miss EMMELINE MONTAGUE'S BLNEFIT.—ThiS de serving and talented young. lady takes a benefit to-night; the pieces selected, " The Wife," in which she will sus tain the part of Illariana; " 1 Husband at Sight," and "'The Ladies' Club."

COoKE, BOX -KEEPER, THEATRE ILOYAL.—On Thursday next, it will be perceived by the Advertisement in anothe r co l umn , 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 that his friends will rally round him on this occasion, and we sincerely tryst that a fashionable and crowded house will reward his efforts. THE ConN TuADE.---The arrival of spring removes not the gloom that lowers Over 111111(07 every branch of colll_ menial enterprise, but we trust, nay we prognosticate, that the apathy evinced by purchasers, which has clogged the railway-like speculations in cotton and corn, may pro. duce a re-action alike, beneficial to all classes.
