HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY.

The speaker took the chair at four o'clock.
Mr. 'Moms Duncombe asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department the names of the person or persons,
who contrary to the wish of the municipal body of Newbury,
urged upon the Lord Chancellor the appointment of five
additional magistrates for that borough.
Mr. S. Estcourt said, that the appointment in question
was made at the request of the recorder of the borough.
Colonel Clifford asked the Secretary of State f a- the Home
Department whether any subsequent ior'irtuation obtained
by him, will enable him to qualify his statement as to a
public meeting, alleged to have been held iu Hereford,
previously to the recent appointment of magistrates in that
city, and if not whether he will state his authority for the
same, and to call the attention of the house thereto.
Mr. S. Estcourt said that the meeting in question, as he
was informed on authority on which he could" fully rely,
was attended_by about 40 persons. He had, therefore,
nothing to qualify.
Lord W. Graham justified the appointment of the Here-
ford magistrates, on the ground of the necessities of the
public service.

Mr. Newdegate said that the government had done noth-
ing more than their opponents would have done, if they
were in power.
Mr. Bouverie deprecated the appointment of magistrates
on political grounds.
Mr. De Vere asked if one of the magistrates so appointed
was not an uncertificated bankrupt.
Lord J. Manners said that, 30 years ago, the person
alluded to had become bankrupt, owing to the failure of his
brother, but he had since been largely engaged in business.
Mr. H. Berkeley said that the late government had ap-
pointed the magistrates at Bristol for reasons unconnected
with politics ; but those appointed by the present govern-
ment were chosen altogether from political consideration.

in Russian Five per Cents. yesterday afternoon ; busi-
ness was concluded in the Four and a Half per Cents.
at 991 and 991, exhibiting little variation.
The buoyancy lately observable in the Stock Exchange
has totally disappeared, owing to the prolongation of the
political crisis, which has also led to an important fall on
the Paris Bourse, notwithstanding an impression that
ministers will to-morrow night make some hopeful state-
ment relative to the still pending negotiations. Consols
closed heavy, at a reduction of about 4 per cent. The
Railway Share Market is weaker. In the Discount Market
it is only in exceptional cases that transactions take place
below the Bank rate. There were no gold operations at
the Bank to-day. The £117,000 in gold by the Royal
Bride has been taken for the Continent.—Daily News' City
Article, Thursday Eveniny.
The English Funds opened steadily this morning, and
remained without material alteration until the arrival of the
early prices from Paris, when the market became heavy.
As a favourable sympton of the day, it was reported that
the French Government are not even yet ready to enter
upon a campaign, and that it will require till the middle of
August fully to complete all the formidable plans that have
been conceived. Some persons, however, who look upon
this as involving to Europe the cost of four additional
months of preparation, refuse to regard it as of a tranquil-
ising character, Among adverse operations, the principal
topics were the continued withdrawal of troops from
Algeria and the contingencies to be apprehended after the
death of the Bing of Naples.—Times City Article, Thurs-
day Eveniny.
The London colonial wool sales are fixed to commence on
Thursday the 28th inst.

The Daily News says that at the public sales of tea, on
Thursday, the tendency of prices was again upwards.
A telegram in town from Bombay, four days later, states
that the alteration in the customs' duties decided upon at
Calcutta had already been put in force in that presidency.
RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS —The Midland shews, this
week, an increase of £4,526 ; the Lancashire and York-
shire, an increase of £2,449 ; the East Lancashire, an
increase of £853 ; and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin-
colnshire, an increase of £2,157,

A new project is announced under the title of the

It is proposed to establish agencies in Liverpool and

The ukase for the proposed Russian loan of £12,000,000
3 per cent has reached London, 'and the subscription lists
are expected to be opened in about ten days. The -price is
not yet fixed, but 681 to 69 is reported as likely to be asked.
With the strong conviction on every mind that before the
lapse of another year a war may be witnessed that will

admit the idea of such a loan being floated.

HEALTH OF THE TROOPS AT TRINIDAD.

In reply to Sir de Lacy Evans and Mr. A F. Lewis,
General Peel said, the troops at Trinidad had of late
greatly improved in health, and that the fever to which
they had been subject had greatly abated. The movements
were entirely regulated by the local authorities. There was
every desire on the part of the Government to take home
any part of the imperial army in India which could be
spared, but the Indian Government had earnestly represented
and urged the necessity of retaining the entire force at
present in that country. There was no wish whatever on
the gpart of the Government to impose upon India the
expense of a single man.
Mr. William Williams asked the Chancellor of the
Exchequer whether, according to his promise, he had
obtained the opinion of the Attorney-General, respecting
the legality of the Earl of Malmesbury refusing to pay the
£2OO stamp duty, required by the act 55 Geo. 111, c 184,
to be paid on the patent of appointment to the office of
Secretary of State. _

Mr. Gilpin asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies
whether the Government assent had been given to the
Jamaica Immigration Bill ?
Lord Palmerston asked if any decision had been come to
as to the precise time of the dissolution ?
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, the assent of the
government had been given to the Jamaica Immigration
Bill. With regard to the question of Lord Palmerston, he
could not state the precise day of prorogation, but it would
take place in Passion week, as well as the dissolution. The
new Parliament might be expected to meet on the 31st of
May. With regard to the question of Mr. Williams, he
had placed the question of the payment of stamp-duty by
the Foreign Secretary before the law officers of the Crown,
who had expresied their opinion that it ought to be paid,
and he had given instructions to enforce its payment, not
only from the present Foreign Secretary, but from his
predecessors.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.
A special correspondent at Paris, of the Daily
News, says the result of the second meeting of the
Paris Conference is, that five powers—England,
France, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia, recognise the
double election of Prince Couza. Austria and Tur-
key hold aloof. It is thought that, at the recommen-
dation of England and the other powers, Turkey will
in the end recognise the Prince; so also will Austria
in case there is no war, but Austria will make use of
this recognition as a concession in the general con-
gress.

FRANCE AND AUSTRIA.
The Paris correspondent of the Times, writing on
Friday night, says :—" We were yesterday, it was
believed, within a few hours of a declaration of war
by Austria, owing to the prevarication of the Im-
perial Government of France on the question of a
general disarmament, its only object being to gain
time. England asked for an immediate answer on
this point, and France pleaded that it could not exer-
cise its influence with Sardinia to enforce compliance.
Austria then declared that if an answer were not got
in a given time, she would consider it equivalent
to a declaration, would act instantly, and would pro-
bably be at Turin in ten days. The French Govern-
ment saw that the terrible responsibility of a general
war would fall upon them alone. It was felt Russia
could not be relied on, and that France would not
have the sympathy of any government except Pied-
mont. The French Government is now supposed to
have given way, and agreed to disarmament pre-
vious to the Congsess, the meeting of which the
Moniteur is expected to announce in a few days.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times states that
the Austrian Government will be satisfied if the
Moniteur will inform the world that the first step
taken by the Congress will be to make arrangements
for placing the armies of Sardinia, and Austria, and
France, on the usual peace footing. Austria wishes
merely to give the mediating powers another proof
of her moderation and wish to avoid war.

REFUSALS TO PAY LIFE INSURANCE

POLICIES

THE remarks we took occasion to make in this

place, a few days since, on the practice which certain
Life Offices are adopting, of refusing to pay their
policies that fall due, if they can avail themselves of
any pretext, however untenable, for doing so, has
called forth the following defence of the Company
to whose case we more particularly referred, as
having been the subject of an action tried at our
recent Assizes ; and we cannot do better than pre-
sent it here in the shape in which we have received
it :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES,

Sir,—As an article appeared in your paper a few days
ago, commenting on the case of Hampshire v. The Medical,
Invalid, and General Life Assurance Society, and reflecting
rather severely on the conduct of the latter for resisting
payment to the unfortunate widow of the claim under
deceased's policy, I beg very respectfully to call your atten-
tion to the article in the accompanying journal the
Weekly Chronicle and Register—and also to the detailed
evidence, given in another page, as elicited during the
trial. You will then see that it is possible to take another
view of the case, and perhaps one more in accordance with
its strict merits. There may be something amiable and
praiseworthy in the sympathy exhibited to the " fatherless
and widow ; but no one would justify a robbery committed
with a view to handin,, over the proceeds to some objects
of charity, however deserving. But this is precisely ex-
emplified when au insurance society is compelled to pay
upon a policy dishonestly obtained ; and it cannot be said
that a policy is otherwise than dishonestly obtained, when
an habitual drunkard declares himself to be of uniformly
sober and temperate habits. The effect of verdicts given

in such cases, in direct contravention of the plainest

deuce, will be to perpetrate an enurmous Injustice upon the
public ; for not only will facilities be given to the multipli-
cation of these fraudulent representations—thereby en-
dangering the stability of insurance societies generally - but
the honourable and truth-stating policy-holder becomes, to
some extent, the victim of the unscrupulous, and thus
discredit is thrown upon •what ought rather to be encou-
raged and promoted—viz.; the duty of mal
