INSTANCES WHERE LIFE ASSURA: 'CE IS PECULIARLY APPLICABLE. I.—To HUSBANDS AND FATHER!, to insure a provision after their death, for their Wives and Children. 2.—To YOUNG MEN, to make a provision for their old age. 3.—TO PARENTS, to insure certain sums payable on their children attaining the age of 14 or 21, whereby the ready means for starling them in life may be obtained at a much smaller annual payment to an Assurance Society, than would be necessary, were they to attempt to realize the same sum by putting it into any other species of investment, as a sav ings' bank, &c. ; Assurance Companies charging a smaller sum, as they t,,lce into account the chance of the child's dying before attaining the specified age. This kind of As surance is called an ENDOWMENT, and can be effected by one single payment, or by a series of Annual Payments or Pre miums to he made until the child attains the specified are. 4.—To PARTNERS IN FIRMS, who, by Assuring their Joint Lives, can secure a sum payable at the death of the first, which will enable the surviving partner to pay off the claims of the Widow of the deceased upon the firm. s.—To SECURE the return of advances made for educating and establishing the younger members of a family in the world :—this is effected by Assuring the life of the child educated, so that, should it die young, the parent may recover from an Assurance Company the money spent upon it ; if it live there is a policy of a certoin standing on its life, which may be continued in the usual way, and as it was begun at an early age, the annual premium would be small. C.—To CREDITORS, who, by Assuring the amount due to them, can, by a trifling outlay, secure a compensation for the loss which the death of their debtors might occasion. 7. To Bon ROWERS,IO provide,in case oldeath,a sum to repay the loan. This is the usual way in which money is now bor rowed on personal security. The borrower, say for £lOO, assures his life for at least .*•200, and gives personal security in the shape of two or three joint sureties with himself, for the due payment, annually, of interest at five per cen.. on the money borrowed, and instalments thereon, and the premiums of the Assurance. B.—To POSSESSORS OF ENTAILED ESTATES, who can be vaeath provisions for the younger members of their family, by ousurinq.suitable amounts on their own lives, 9.—To THE EXPECTANTS OF PROPERTY IN REVERSION, to secure a portion, at least, to their families, should they die before they themselves enter into possession. 10.—To PARTIES WHO EXPECT TO RECEIVE SUMS OF MONEY should they live over a certain number of years, as for example :—A person aged 30 is entitled to a share, amount ing to .€5OO. in the Renewal Fine of a Lease, which is payable at the expiration of three years from the present time. This share he would lose should be die within that period. To secure his family against that loss, he has only to take out a temporary Policy of Assurance on his life for the three years, and by the trifling annual payment of £6 4s. 7d. he assures the £5OO ; so that, should he die before the end of the three years, the office pays his family the £5OO, and should he live, he will come into his share of the fine, the amount of which he will, however, have rendered safe from loss by his death, by an outlay of .elB 13s. 9d. altogether. 11.—THE HOLDERS OF A LEASE, which is renewable on payment of a certain fine, at the death of the first or last of two or three lives, can, by a trifling annual payment, assure in an office the necessary sum. Example :—The holder of a lease would have to pay a fine of ..€lOO to renew it at the death of the first of two lives, aged 15 and 35. He can provide for its payment by an annual premium of £3 75. Od., so that, should one of the lives in the lease die even the day after the first premium has been paid, he would receive from the ENGLISH AND IRISH CHURCH ANDENIVERSITY ASSURANCE SOCIETY £lOO. (See Table of the Society's Prospectus.) 12.—1 N MOST COPYHOLD PROPERTIES, on the death of the tenant, his successor cannot be admitted except on payment of a Fine. In many instances the sudden death of the tenant has put his successor to great difficulty in procuring the re quired sum ; an Assurance effected on the life of the tenant, by himself or his successor, would provide for this difficulty, and by a small annual outlay. 13.—1 N CASES OF MARRIAGE SETTLEMENT Life Assurance may also be particularly advantageous :--Suppose a gentle. man, twenty-six years of age next birth-day, be engaged to a lady whose fortune is £3,500, and that the whole be required to be settled on her at their marriage, let £l,OOO be vested in trustees, and with the annual interest let them assure £2,500 on the life of the husband. The remaining £2,500 of her fortune can be placed at his command at once, as, at his death, his wife will still be in possession of £3,500. MILNERS' NEW PATENTS. 1851.

Moon, of the Square, Winchester :—" To Professor Holloway.—Sir,—l beg to in form you that for years I was a sufferer from Chronic Rheumatism, and was often laid up for weeks together by its severe and painful attacks. I tried every thing that was recommended, and was attended by one of the most eminent Surgeons in this town, but obtained no relief whatever, and fearing that my health would be entirely broken up, I was induced to go into our County Hospital, where I had the best medical treatment the institution afforded, all of which proved of no avail, and I came out no better than I went in. I was then advised to use your Pills, and by persevering with them was perfectly cured, and enabled to resume my occupa. tion ; and although a considerable period has elapsed, I have felt no return whatever of the complaint.—l am, Sir, &c., " Oct.

Yeovil, to Professor Holloway:—" Dear Sir,—ln this district your Pills command a more extensive sale than any other proprietary medicine before the public. As a proof of their efficacy in bilious and liver complaints, I may mention the following case. A lady of this town, with whom I am personally acquainted, for years was a severe sufferer from disease of the liver and digestive organs. Her medical at tendant assured her that he could do nothing to relieve her sufferings, and it was not likely she could survive many months. This announcement naturally caused great alarm among her friends and relations, and they induced her to make a trial of your Pills, which so improved her general health that she was induced to continue them until she re ceived a perfect cure. This is twelve mouths ago, and she has not experienced any symptoms of relapse, and often de clares that your Pills have been the means of saving her life. —I remain, dear Sir, yours truly, " Nov. 23rd. 1852." (Signed) " J. GAM& AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF DROPSY, AFTER SUFFER ING FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS.—Copy of a letter from Mr. G. Briggs, chemist, Goole, dated Feb. 15, 1853 :—" To Professor Holloway.—Sir,—l have much pleasure in informing you of a most surprising cure of dropsy, recently effected by your valuable medicines. Capt. Jackson, of this place, was afflicted with dropsy for upwards of 18 months, to such an extent that it caused his body and limbs to be much swollen, and water oozed as it were from his skin, so that a daily change of ap parel became necessary. Notwithstanding the various reme dies tried, and the different medical men consulted, all was of no avail, until he commenced using your Pills, by which, and a strict attention to the printed directions, be was effec tually cured, and his health perfectly re-established.

ADDITIONAL TESTIMONIAL of the valuable medicinal properties of FRANIPTON'S PI.A. OF HEALTH, forwarded to Mr. Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London, from W. Smith, Esq..- 4, 13, St. Mark's-terrace, West Brompton, London. 10th May, 1852. Sir,—Ten years ago I was induced to give you my opinion, founded on expe rience of the merits of Frampton's Pill of Health. I am pleased at your having published that plain statement, by which I hope others have been induced to try so effective a medicine. Anxious cares and the neglect of my old tried friend during the early part of this year had produced symp toms of uneasiness which I found it prudent no longer to neglect; and I am delighted to say that a few doses of the pills, under the blessing of Divine Providence, has removed, and I am again as well as I ever was in my life. Wm. SMITH." These Pills are particularly efficacious for stomach coughs, colds", agues, shortness of breath, and all obstructions of the urinary passages ; and, if taken after too free an indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. Persons of a full habit, who are subject to headache, giddiness, drowsiness, and singing in the ears, arising from too great a flow of blood to the head, should never be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills are most truly excellent, removing all obstructions, the distress ing headache so very prevalent with the sex; depression of spirits, dulness of sight, nervous affections, blotches, pim ples, and sallowness of the skin, and give a healthy and juve nile bloom to the complexion. To Mothers they are confi dently recommended as the best medicine that can he taken during pregnancy; and for children of all ages they are unequalled. As a pleasant, safe, and easy aperient, they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect. By regulating the dose, according to the age and strength of the patient, they become suitable for every case, in either sex, that can be required. Sold by all Medicine Vendors.

FOREIGN AND COLONIAL . with Turkey, and the appearance of the combined fleets off Constantinople served as a further incentive to its obstinacy ; and now both the Western Powers, without previously declaring war, have sent their fleets into the Black Sea, proclaiming their intention to protect the Turks, and to impede the free navigation of our vessels of war for the defence of our coasts. After so unheard of a course of proceeding amongst civilized nations, we recalled our embassies from England and France, and have broken off all political intercourse with those powers. " Thus, England and France have sided with the ene mies of Christianity against Russia, combating for the orthodox faith. " But Russia will not betray her holy calling ; and, if enemies infringe her territory, we are ready to meet them with the firmness bequeathed to us by our forefathers. Are we not still the same Russian nation, of whose exploits the memorable events of 1812 bear witness. " May the Almighty assist us to prove this by deeds. With this hope, combatting for our persecuted brethren, followers of the faith of Ohrist, with one accord let all Russia exclaim—' 0 Lord, our Redeemer ! whom shall we fear ? May God be glorified, and His enemies be scattered." " St. Petersburg, 9, (21,) 1851." PRUSSIA. The intelligence that the English and French Governments have formally summoned Russia to evacuate the Danubian Principalities has created a great sensation. It appears that the Prussian and Austrian Governments, though adhering to the ultimatum of the other Powers, will not declare war on the rejection of the summons.

ANOTHERCURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH.—Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road, Liver pool.—Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in communicating to you a case (among many) which came under my own observation. A lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous attendance upon her husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and not having taken care of herself it settled upon her lungs. She was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not obtain any relief; when, upon the recommendat:on of a friend, she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commencement, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly cured. THOMAS DEAN. CURE OF A FOURTEEN YEARS' ASTHMATIC COUGH.— Thomas Carter, Egremont, Cheshire, had an asthmatic cough for fourteen years; nothing ever gave me relief until I commenced taking Dr. Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, three boxes of which have entirely cured me.

The latest accounts from Toulon describe the activity as unremitting. Several steam-ships are in a state of great forwardness for the conveyance of several regiments of cavalry to the seat of war. The Asmodee steam- frigate had recently left for Constantinople, carrying out a large quantity of tools and other materiel for the construction of a camp near that capital. It is said that the Oreno que and Mont6zuma steam-frigates, at present at Senegal, are to return home, Without delay, to carry out troops to the Levant. The men in the Arsenal at Toulon are working night and day. The whole of the Atlantic squadron anchored in the roads of Toulon on the night of the 28th ult. The 120 gun ship Louis - XIV - . was launched at Rochefort on the same day. SPEECH OF LOUIS NAPOLEON. The Legislative Chambers were opened on Thurs day at the Turneries, in the Hall of the Marshals, by the Emperor Louis Napoleon in person, who said: MM. les Senateurs, MM. les Deputes, Since your last session two questions, you are aware, have occupied the attention of the country—the insuffi ciency of the last harvest, and external difficulties. But these two questions, I hasten to inform you, already occa sion much less fear, because, in spite of their serious cha racter, we can ascertain their extent and their limits. The scarcity of the harvest has been estimated at about ten millions of hectolitres of grain, representing an amount of nearly 300 millions of francs, and the lading of 4,000 vessels. Could the government undertake to purchase these ten millions of hectolitres on all points of the globe, and come and sell them afterwards in all the markets of France ? Experience and prudence showed that such a measure would have been attended with almost insur mountable embarrassment, and inconvenience and dan gers without number. Commerce alone possessed financial and material means for so great an operation. The go vernment has, therefore, done the only thing practicable ; it has encouraged the liberty of private operations by freeing the corn trade from all obstacles. The high price of an article so necessary for the general subsistence is, no doubt, a calamity ; but it was not possible, nor even de sirable, entirely to evade it. For if the price of corn had been lower in France than in neighbouring countries, foreign markets would have been supplied at the expense of ours. This state of things must nevertheless have pro duced a state of uneasiness which could only be combated by activity of labour, or by .public charity. The govern ment, therefore, endeavoured to open, from the commence ment of the year, credits which, exceeding by some millions only the resources of the budget, will, with the co-operation of the communes and companies, give rise to a mass of works estimated at nearly 400,000,000, without counting the 2,000,000 applied by the Minister of the In terior to beneficent establishments. At the same time the general and municipal councils and private charity made the most praiseworthy sacrifices to alleviate the sufferings of the poorer classes. I recommend particu larly to your attention the system adopted by the city of Paris, for if it be extended, as I hope, throughout France, it will henceforth prevent, in respect to the value of corn, those extreme variations which, in times of abundance, cause agriculture to languish, in consequence of the low price of corn, and in times of scarcity occasion sufferings to the poorer classes by an excessive dearness. That system consists in creating, in all the great centres of the population, an institution of credit, known as the Bakers' Bank (la Caisse de Boulangerie), which may give, during the months of a bad year, bread at a price much less than the ordinary averages, on the condition of paying a little dearer in years of abundance. These last being, in ge neral, more numerous, it is understood that the compen sation can be effected easily. The immense advantage is also obtained of founding companies which, in place of gaining in proportion as bread is dearer, are interested, as all are, in its becoming cheap ; inasmuch as, contrary to what is the case at the present moment, they will obtain profits in seasons of plenty, and loss in those of scarcity. I am now happy to announce to you that 7,000,000 of hectolitres of foreign wheat have been already delivered for consumption, independent of the quantity on its way and in bond, and that thus the most difficult period of the crisis is past. There is one remarkable fact which has deeply. affected me. During this severe winter not an accusation has been made against the government, and the people have endured sufferings, with resignation, which they were so just as to attribute to circumstances alone ;—a new proof of their confidence in me, and of their convlction that their welfare is, above all, the object of my canaant attention. But, scarcity hardly at an end, war conMnences. I promised in my opening speech last year to make every effort to maintain peace, and to reassure Europe. I have kept my word. I have, in order to avoid a contact, gone as far as honour could permit me. Europe now knows, and has no doubt of the fact, that if France draws the sword it is because she has been compelled to do so. It knows that France has no idea of aggrandise ment ; and that she only wishes to resist dangerous encroachments ; and for that reason I desire to proclaim loudly that the period for conquest is passed, never to return ; for it is not by extending the limits of its terri tory that a nation can henceforth be honoured and powerful ; it is by placing herself at the head of generous ideas, and by establishing everywhere the empire of law and justice. Thus you see the result of a policy devoid of selfishness and reservation ! Behold England, that ancient rival, which is every day drawing closer the bonds of a more intimate alliance, because the principles which we aprpna 41 , 3 OA ti same time those of English people. Germany, which the recollettion of old wars rendered mis trustful, and which, for that reason gave for the last forty years, perhaps, too many proofs of deference to the policy of the cabinet of St. Petersburgh, has already recovered her independence of aetion, and looks freely to which side her interests are to be found. Austria, particularly, which cannot see with indifference the events which are pre paring, will enter into our alliance, and will thus confirm the character of morality and of justice of the war which we are about to undertake. The state of the question is precisely this :—Europe, oc cupied with internal struggles since 40 years, reassured, moreover, by the moderation of the Emperor Alexander, in 1815, as by that of his successor, down to the present day, appeared not to be aware of the danger that might menace it on the part of the colossal power which, by its successive invasions, embraces the north and the centre, which almost exclusively possesses two inland seas, from which it is easy for its armies and its fleets to throw them selves upon our civilisation. An ill-founded claim (pre'ten tion) at Constantinople sufficed to arouse slumbering Europe. We have, in fact, beheld in the East, in the midst of profound peace, a sovereign exact suddenly, from his weaker neighbour, new advantages, and because he did not obtain them, invade two of his provinces. This fact alone would place arms in the hands of those whom iniquity revolts ; but we have other reasons to sup port Turkey. France has as much, and perhaps more, in terest at stake than England to prevent the extension of the influence of Russia indefinitely over Constantinople, for to reign at Constantinople is to command the Medi terranean, and not one of you, gentleman, I think, will say that England alone has interests in that sea which washes 300 leagues of our shores. Moreover, this policy does not date from yesterday. For centuries every national government in France has maintained it. I shall not abandon it. Let men then no more say, " What are you going to do at Constantinople ?" We are going there with England to defend the cause of the Sultan, and, neverthe less, to protect the rights of the Christians. We go there to protect the freedom of the seas and our just influence in the Mediterranean. We go there with Germany to as sist it in maintaining the rank of which it seemed an at tempt was made to deprive it—to make sure its frontiers against the invasions of a too-powerful neighbour. We go there, finally, with all those who desire the triumph of right, of justice, and of civilisation. In this solemn circumstance, gentlemen, as in all those in which I am obliged to make an appeal to the country, I am sure of your support, for I have always found in you the generous sentiments which animate the nation. Therefore, strong in that support, in the nobility of the cause, in the sincerity of our allies, and confiding especially in the protection of God, I hope shortly to obtain a peace which it will not be in the power of any one to trouble with impunity. SPAIN. Accounts from Madrid of the 23d ult. state that order is established at Saragossa. The insurgents who occupied the fort of Aijaferia surrendered at discretion on the morning of the 21st. The fugi tives, pursued by two squadrons of cavalry, directed their flight towards the frontier of France. At Madrid all is quiet. The Council of Ministers is sitting en permanence at the War-office. The arrests continue. SWEDEN. A Russian courier arrived at Stockholm, from St. Petersburgh, on the 20th ult., and the next day .the Ambassador, M. Dashkoff, had a private audience with the King. It is said that the Emperor Nicholas is very much irritated against the neutral States, because he foresees that, sooner or later, they will rally round the Western Powers. AUSTRIA. The Austrian Government has, it is now said, decided, in conjunction with the Western Powers, to summon Russia to evacuate the Danubian Principalities, and, if necessary, to employ force to compel her to do so. Conciliation has not, how ever, been quite abandoned. RUSSIA. So angry is the Emperor Nicholas at the refusal of Austria to join, him in his schemes of spoliation, that he has issued orders, forbidding all officers who have had Prussian or Austrian orders confer red upon them to wear them. The Czar has also changed the names of the regiments in his service which have hitherto borne the names of the King of Prussia or Emperor of Austria. MANIFESTO OF THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 11, (23,) 1854. Yesterday the following manifesto appeared from the Emperor to his people : " We, Nicholas 1., &c.— " We have already informed our beloved and faithful subjects of the progress of our disagreements with the Ottoman Porte. _ _ "Siiice then, although hostilities have commenced, we have not ceased sincerely to wish, as we still wish, the cessation of bloodshed. We entertained even the hope that reflection and time would convince the Turkish go vernment of its misconceptions, engendered by treacherous instigations, in which our just demands, fou n d e d on trea ties, have been represented as attempts on its independence veiling intentions of aggrandizement. Vain, however, have been our expectations, so far. 6 , Th e ymglish and French governments have sided THE WAR IN THE EAST. Accounts from the theatre of war in the Dan ü bian provinces, of the 19th ult., state that the snow rendered the roads impassable. Neither of the armies had changed their positions, although there had been several skirmishes at the advanced posts. The Redifs of Albania were quitting their cantonments at Widdin to return home. VARNA, FEB. 9.—Yesterday the steamers Ma gellan and Furious arrived here, escorting eight Turkish ships laden with powder and stores. Varna was also visited, a few days back, by a division composed of French and English steamers—the Sampson, Firebrand, Gomer, and Sane, on their return from a cruise along the coast of the Crimea, from Kaffa to Sebastopol.—Letters from Wallachia inform us that the Russians have transported all the materiel for pontoons to Giurgevo, where the soldiers are busy day and night in preparing the bridges which are intended to be thrown across the Danube.—The Russians have been concen trating large forces at Brailow, and are fortifying the town of Tokchani, upon the Moldo-Wallachian frontier, where they will have, in case of reverse, their parks and ammunition, their great magazines of provisions, and their hospitals. VIENNA, THURSDAY EVENING.—It is credibly related that an Imperial manifesto is about to appear, in which, though mention will be made of the neutrality of this empire, His Majesty will announce that, true to the policy of his house, he will not permit insurrectionary movements near his frontiers, and therefore his troops will enter Bosnia and Servia. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 15.—The following statement of the probable numbers and positions of the Russian forces in the principalities at the present moment has been carefully compiled and collated from various sources by a most intelligent foreign officer now here :—The 10th division ex tends from Kalafat to opposite Rutschuk ; the 11th division, the Valley of Argish to opposite Silistria and Hirsova ; the 15th division occupies Ibraila and Galatz, extending up the Danube to opposite Hirsova—the above may be termed the first line. The second line is probably as follows :-13th divi sion moved westward towards Krajova (one regiment of it was, we believe, at Cetate), which, together with the Bth and 9th division, must now form the attacking force at Kalafat. Say, then, that two and-a-half divisions of infantry and one of cavalry form the attacking force ; it should consist of about 30,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry. The total force is estimated, at 91,950 infantry, 21,120 cavalry, 6,080 artillery—total, 119,150 ; 304 guns. In order not to overdo the thing each infantry bat talion has been calculated at 750 men, each cavalry regiment at 960 men, and each Cossack regiment at 600 men. BERLIN, THIIRSDA.Y.—The St. Petersburg Jour nal of the 24th contains the following as the substance of the answer sent by the Czar to the Emperor Napoleon :—" If his Imperial Majesty extends his hand to me as I extend mine, I am ready to forget the mortification I have experienced, harsh though it be. Then, but then only, can I discuss the subject treated of in his letter, and may perhaps arrive at an understanding. Let the French fleet prevent the Turks from transporting reinforcements to the theatre of war, and let the Turks send me a plenipotentiary to negotiate, whom I will receive as befits his character. The condi tions already made known to the Conference at Vienna are the sole base on which I will consent to treat." CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 20.—Negotiations rela tive to the future position of the Christians in Turkey have been opened between the representa tives of the four powers and the Porte.—On the 7th of February the port of Odessa was almost free from ice.—Three fruitless attempts have been made to take Arta by storm. AMERICA. The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, from New York, arrived on Thursday with dates to the 18th ult. The Nebraska Bill continues to occupy the attention of the Senate. Twenty-five lives were lost by the explosion of the Kate Kearney steamer at Louisville. The Philadelphia correspondent of the Morning Chronicle states that a mysterious and extensive movement is afoot in that city, as well as in New York, and, indeed, throughout the States, for the purchase of old muskets. They are all forwarded, as soon as bought and cleansed, to New York. Se veral reports or conjectures are current on the sub ject. That supposition which finds most favour is that the weapons are intended for such parts of Europe as may rise against Russia in the Eastern war IRELAND. A FEARFUL TRAGEDY has lately occurred in the town of Buncrana, county Donegal. It appears that a 'person named M`Laughlin, who formerly filled the situation of bailiff, was sitting, on Friday evening week, in his own house, taking share of a " treat" which some friend had brought in. The son, a young man lately appointed bailiff, rose and said, that as he had to wait on a gentleman in the neighbourhood, he would not then drink, but requested his mother to put his share by till he should return. During his son's absence old M`Laughlin went and drank the portion which had been left for the son. When the latter came home he asked the mother for his share, to which she replied " Your blackguard father has drank it." The father got enraged, and lifted a large knife and stuck his wife in the side, inflicting a dangerous. wound. M`Laughlin was shortly afterwards arrested and confined in bridewell, where he succeeded in procuring a piece of glass, with which he inflicted several awful gashes on his throat, and when discovered life was quite extinct. The poor woman at present lies in a most precarious co n diti on . SERIOUS AFFRAY.—On Monday, an occurrence of an extraordinary character took place near this city, which has led to the committal to prison of one of the gentlemen concerned. For several years some animosity existed be tween the parties, which has led to the present unfortu nate transaction. Their names are Messrs. George Sadlier Forster, son of Mr. John S. Forster, of this city, late a poor-law guardian, and Mr. John L. Kingston, of Gurt nalogh, near Ballinhassig. Early on Monday, Mr. Forster left his residence and proceeded by train to Ballinhassig. On arriving there he went to the house of Mr. Kingston, and watching a favourable opportunity he fired at that gentleman and wounded him in the back. An outcry being raised, he then rushed up stairs and took up his position in one of the rooms in the house, in which there were fire-arms and ammunition, and locked the door. The police were sent for, and succeeded in forcing open the door and securing Mr. Forster, not, however, without great risk, as he held a double-barrelled loaded pistol in his hand when arrested. He was committed to take his trial at the next assizes.—Cork Constitution. ENCUMBERED ESTATES Courr.—A small remnant of the vast estates of Lord Gort was re-set up for sale on Tuesday ; and, before the commencement of the proceed ings, the following extraordinary conversation took place between Lord Gort (the late proprietor) and the commis sioners. The purchaser of the division which comprised Loughcooter Castle and demesne was Mrs. Ball, the " . superioress" of the nuns of Loretto, and who is now virtually the owner in fee; but, from the observations which fell from Mr. Commissioner Longfield, it is to be hoped that the lady has not exercised the rights of owner ship in the harsh and uncharitable manner imputed to her by Lord Gort :—Lord Gort, addressing the commissioner, said he hoped that his lordship would not allow the pur chaser to go into possession, of the lot for a few weeks, until he (Lord Gort) was enabled to make arrangements for the removal of his family to another place of abode He was induced to make this request in consequence of the manner in which he had been treated by the purchasers of the Loughcooter estate. They turned himself and family out of the house in ten days after the purchase was made.—Commissioner : Certainly not within ten days, because I kept back the conveyance for some weeks.—Lord Gort : I am much obliged to your lordship, for I am sure that you meant to be kind ; but they came within ten days, and they came, too, at twelve o'clock on a Saturday night, when it was raining tremendously, and turned me and my family out of doors.—Commissioner : I must re peat that it could not have taken place within the time you mention, because the conveyance did not leave this court for a much longer period. lam very sorry for any annoyance you may have experienced, but it is to be re collected that the creditors in this case have also suffered some inconvenience, for the last sale of this lot would have been a good sale had not your lordship induced a party to buy it who was not able to fulfil his purchase.— Lord Gort : I am now living with my family in the dwel ling-house which stands on this lot, and I trust you will not let me be disturbed for six weeks.—Commissioner : Let the purchaser of this lot understand that the con veyance will not be executed for 4 month from this tar. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE LIGHTNING, THE beautiful new American clipper-ship Lightning, Captain James Nicol Forbes, arrived in the river on Saturday evening, from Boston, whence she sailed on the 19th ultimo, making the voyage in 13 days. Her run from Boston Light to Eagle Island (coast of Ireland) oc ccupied only 10 days, and to the Calf of Man only 11 days, a rate of sailing altogether unprecedented. The Lightning has brought telegraphic accounts from New York to the evening of the 18th ultimo. The following is an abstract of her log : Feb. 19,—Wind W.S.W. and N.W., moderate; all plain sail set. Distance run 200 miles. 20.—VVind N.N.E. and N.E., strong breezes and snow storms; lat. 43 5, lon. 59 25. Distance run 328 miles. 21.—Wind E.S.E., with snow -storms; lat. 41 30, lon. 57.

March I.—Wind S., strong gales; tore away for the North Channel, carried away the foretopsail and lost jib; hove the log several times, and found the shipgoing through the water at the rate of 18 to 114 knots per hour ; lee rail under water, and the rigging slack ; saw the Irish land at 9 30, p.m. Dis tance run in the twenty-four hours, 436 miles. 2.-IVind S., first part moderate, latter part mild and calm. At noon abreast of Tory Island. 3.—Light winds and calms; at 7, a.m., abreast of Innis trahull ; and at noon off the Point of Ayr. 4.—Light S.E. winds and calms; at 7. a.m., off the Great Ormshead ; at 12, noon, took the pilot, off N.W. Light-ship. The following description of the Lightning is abridged from the Boston Atlas :—" This splendid vessel is 226 feet long at the load-displacement line, and 243 over all, from the knightheads to the traffrail ; has 44 feet extreme length of beam, 23 feet depth of hold, including 7i feet high between decks, and registers about 2,000 tons. Her keel for 30 feet forward gradually rises from a straight line, and the gripe of her forefoot, instead of being angular, is arched where it bends with the stem. This magnificent ship, owned by Messrs. James Baines, and Co., of Liverpool, is designed for their line of Liverpool and Australian packets, and is commanded by Capt. James N. Forbes, who superintended her outfits. Capt. Forbes is well known as the former commander of the famous. ship Marco Polo, in which he made two suc cessive voyages from Liverpool to Australia in less than 12 months, including detention in port. Her builder, Donald McKay, has a world-wide reputation ; his ships, for beauty, strength and speed, have no superiors on this side of the Atlantic ; and as the Lightning is the first ship ever built in the United States for an English house, he has done his best to make her perfect in every detail. She is the largest ship belonging to Liverpool, and we be lieve she will prove the finest ship of her size that has ever been produced, on either side of the Atlantic. Mr. M c Kay has now on the stocks, for the owners of the Lightning, a clipper ship of 2500 tons, named the Champion of the Seas, which will be launched in April. She is 245 feet long, has 45 feet breadth of beam, 29 feet depth of hold, and three decks. Also, another clipper ship, of 3000 tons, named the James Baines, which is 310 feet long, has 46 feet ex treme breadth of beam, and 29 feet depth of hold, with three decks, and will be launched in September. These ships have white oak frames, will be diagonally cross braced with iron, and are built in the best style." The Lightning on this voyage was heavily loaded, having, among other cargo on board, nearly 2,000 tons of bread stuffs. She is drawing upwards of 21 feet of water. NEW DOCKS AT BIRKENHEAD. A PROPOSAL for the construction of extensive new docks at Birkenhead has been made by Mr. Laird, and by Messrs. Clayton and MiKeverigan, Messrs. Clover and Royle, and in reference to the projected works the surveyor has prepared the an nexed report, which was read at the Council Meet ing, on Wednesday, and remitted back to the Fi nance Committee, with a view to being carried into effect : Report upon the plans, estimates, and specifications sub mitted for the works proposed to be constructed upon the Corporation Estate at Birkenhead, viz., upon land between the Monk's and Birkenhead Ferries, intended to be leased to Mr. John Laird, and upon land north of Monk's Ferry, to be leased in moieties to Messrs. Clayton and M'Reverigan, and Messrs. Clover and Royle respectively. The area of land to be leased to Mr. Laird is upwards of 35,000 yards, of which about 13,800 will be reclaimed from the river by the construction of the proposed works. The works proposed according to the plans now submitted are, upon Mr. Laird's land -Ist. A larze graving -dock, the working length of which is 410 feet upon the floor or blocks; the width for 306 feet of the length being 88 feet, and for the remainder of the length 60 feet; the surface of the cell and blocks being two feet below the level of the old dock sill. The width of the entrance is 84 feet. This it is proposed to close by a caisson (of which the plans are submitted) instead of gates, by which the length of the duck is practically increased about 30 feet, and a con siderable saving of expense obtained. The dock will accommodate a paddle-steamer of larger class than any yet in existence, or would take in at one time two vessels of 1,700 tons and one of 700 tons respectively. 2d. It is proposed to construct three other building docks or slips, of the respective. Lengths of 400 feet, and widths of 71& feet. 350 ~ 61 57 300 it , 56 f t These may be used for the pnrpose of building on an even keel, from which the ships may be floated when fully com plete for sea, or may be used for repairing when extensive repairs are necessary, the entrances being closed by timbers inserted in vertical grooves and strutted, to resist the pres sure of the outer column of water. The sills of those docks will be level with the old dock sill. The space between the graving -dock and the last-named docks, extending to 200 feet frontage, will be occupied as storage ground, and by three ordinary launching slips, thereby affording all the accommodation required for those purposes in a large building establishment. This plan appears to the surveyor to develop the utmost resources of the lan.l, and would constitute a shipbuilding establishment of most extraordinary magnitude and of un equalled capabilities, in which nine or ten large class vessels might be in . progress of construction or repair at one time, and which might at any future period be divided into two occupations if necessity required. The area of the land to be leased to Messrs Clayton and M'Keverigan and to Messrs. Clover and Royle is upwards of 31,000 yards, of which about 14,700 will be reclaimed from the river by the construction of the proposed works. The works proposed according to the plans now submitted are,—two graving -docks, the working length of which are respectively 360 feet, and 345 feet upon the floors or blocks, of the same widths and depths of sill as that proposed by Mr. Laird, with entrances of like width, namely, 84 feet, and provided in like manner with caissons instead of gates. It is also proposed to construct on each moiety two other building docks similar to those proposed by Mr. Laird, of the respective lengths of 280 feet and width of 60 feet, and 200 feet and width of 50 feet, to be used, as before stated, for building ships, which may be floated out ready for sea, or for the repair of vessels which may require a considerable time for the operations. the facilities which would be afforded for these operations by this peculiar mode of construction, appearing to be fully commensurate to counterbalance the extra expense to be incurred in the construction of the works. The only question which occurs to the surveyor re specting the arrangements of these two last-named yards is, whether it would not be better if thb smaller of the last named docks were abandoned, and an ordinary launching slip substituted, which would increase the available storage space without destroying their capabilities as building-yards; but the surveyor offers this suggestion with diffidence, espe cially as the amount of cost would not be thereby much diminished; and be considers the authors of the scheme better authorities upon the subject than himself. The estimates for these works are as follow : For the works upon the land, to be issued to Mr Laird, in round figures And for the other two portions respectively, £20,000 each, or Total .170,000 Having carefully considered the above estimates, the sur veyor is of opinion they are founded upon prices at which the work could be executed by a competent contractor, but do not admit of reduction. They comprise the whole of the works stated in this report, but do not make any provision for sheds or other buildings, which, therefore, under the resolution of the committee, confirmed by the Council, would have to be borne by the lessees. who would also be responsi ble for any excess in the cost of the works comprised in the plans now submitted beyond the maximum sum to be deter mined upon in the first instance, which maximum would be the amount of the tender for the works now proposed for the sanction of the committee and Council.—The specifications have been prepared in a satisfactory manner. THE PRESTON STRIKE. IT is stated that the agents of the Associated Masters, who have been despatched to almost all parts of the king dom, have entered into contracts with some hundreds of people, to whom constant work is guaranteed for at least twelve months. Young persons are to be instructed in the various branches of the cotton trade; and to provide for the accommodation of a portion of these people, the Associated Masters have fitted up a commodious building, formerly the Bolton railway-station, in Fishgate, the chief thoroughfare of the town, and within about 200 yards of the London and North-western Company's station. The mill owners are also renting cottages adjacent to their works, and furnishing them for their new hands. The importa tion of these people produced unusual excitement, though only on one occasion has a serious breach of the peace been committed. This was on Thursday night. A number of persons, many of them children, arrived from the north about eight o'clock, and were transferred to an omnibus, three cabs, and a whitechapel, to be conveyed to the mill of Messrs. Leigh. A crowd collected ; cries of " Turn them out" arose ; first mud and then stones were thrown at the conveyances, the windows of which were broken, and a child was struck on the forehead. Seven policemen were despatched to the scene of action in a carriage, which was also assailed with a shower of stones. The disturb ance was soon quelled, and two youths who were captured on the spot were committed for the Liverpool assizes. On Friday afternoon about fifty Ilibermans, of all ages, arrived at the Midland Railway Station from Belfast, via Fleetwood. They presented a miserable spectacle ; nearly the whole of them were destitute of shoes and stockings ; few of the females had bonnets, and some appeared i n nightcaps. Many of them, it was said, were from the Union Workhouse at Belfast. They were received by detachments of the police and fire-brigade ; the mayor and two other magistrates being also present. A large con course of people having congregated in the vi c i n it y o f t h e railway, the authorities deemed it expedient to read the Riot Act ; after which, the police cleared a road for the vehicles employed to remove the strangers, and they pro ceeded without obstruction to the works of Messrs. Birley Brothers. Other strangers continue to arrive daily. At a meeting of the Watch Committee, on Friday, the Mayor suggested an augmentation of the police force, to meet the present state of the town. Eventually, it was decided to increase the force by one h un d re d men, an d a number of special constables were enrolled. The annexed proclamation, prohibiting public meetings, created great consternation amongst the operatives : " Borough of Preston, in the county of Lancaster. — Whereas public meetings have been holden in the said borough, at which inflammatory speeches have been made, and language uttered, having a tendency to cause a breach of the peace, and the commission of other offences ; and whereas a serious riot has already taken place in the said borough ; and whereas large numbers of persons continue to assemble and gather together, to the great terror of the peaceablydisposed inhabitants of this borough; and whereas the proclamation under the Riot Act has this day been read Within the said borough; notice is hereby given, that all TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 1854. such meetings and assemblages are unlawfutedsllo hereby prohibited ; and all perso ns are w a r i vets e assemble and congregate together in the P ubli tht r places in the said borough, as they will answer trary at their peril."
