LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Act of Par-
liament, this Company now offers to-future insurers four-fifths of
the Profits with Quinquennial Division, or a low Rate of premium
without participation of Profits.
The next division of Profits will be declared in June 1855, when
all participating policies which shall have subsisted at least one year
at Christmas, 1854, will be allowed to share in the profits.
At the several past divisions ofprolits made by this Company, the
reversionary Bonuses added to the polic:es from one.half the profits,
amounted, on an average of the different ages. to about 1 per cent.
per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added at the
four septennial divisions exceeded 770,0001.
FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums required for the East
and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the
United States of America, have been materially reduced.
INVALID LlVES.—Persons who are not in such sound health as
would enable them to insure their Lives at the Tabular Premiums,
may have their Lives insured at Extra Premiums.
LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under 501.
ASSIGNMENTS OF POLICIES—Wiitten Notices of, received
and registered.

SIR JOHN PAKINGTON
AND THE COLONIES.
Sir John, mighty questions your notice now claim,
If a clear course you'd steer..witbout possible blame.
Let a lecture in private your judgment impress,
Then the rules of your office you'll never transgress.
Your station 's important in all cases—true,
The colonies some cf them need your review ;
But the prevalent spirit of vast emigration
Will in time make them like your own mighty nation.
Would you rule with success, make our colonies great,
Give Emigrants facts you may honestly state ;
These facts are best proofs of a voyager's success,
Shown by MOSES in charges for outflis and dress.
You may canvas each section of England's new laws,
But the brightest enactment gives the people good elothes,
And the minister who must provide for all stations,
Is MOSES, Designer of Dress for all nations.
During many long sessiens he has worked in this cause,
His system is based on the best of all laws—
Is the modal of trade, since each emigrant knows
That his outfit is proper wherever he goes.
Now, Sir John, to begin your intended arrangements,
State the outfits from MOSES as, the best of engagements,
And never neglect to express. your opinion ,-. '
That in matters of outfit he holds sole doniinion.
The colonies soon having stated their claims,
Tee thousands from Albion each vessel's list names,
Who are sailing o'er ocean to far distant shores,
Equipped with an;outfit from Aldgato3 famed stores.
Sir John, with E. MOSES'S patrons your care,
We wish you the comforts of office to share ;
But remember, if office you long would enjoy,
The artist of MO/ES you likewise employ.
Emigrants' Cabins fitted up at a trifling expense. Every comfort
and even elegancy combined in E. MOSES and SON'S Outfits. They
supply them for 31. 155., 61. 155., I 'l. I ls., and upwards. A detailed
list can be had on application, or forwarded, post free, to any part of
the kingdom.

awarded at the Great Exhibition: to Clark's Lamps. They can be

'cedes the French Moderator Lamps. Clark's Pearl Candle Lamp
surpasses all other• Candle Lamps.. All aro invited to this unrivalled
display. The lamps -generally sold are extremely imperfect, and
thereby a great public wrong exists. What is more gloomy than, a

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TlMES.—Objection is alWays easy, for it is never
without reason on its side, and that reason, be Weyer
so little, is all that it is concerned with. On the other
hand, nothing is less suitable for dashing conjecture, for
lively epigram, or off hand declamation, than the re-
sponsibility of considering what should be done under
given circumstances. The objectors may be a hundred,
and may start from a hundred different quarters, but
the course best to be adopted is one; so the man who
defends it has to stand with his back to a rock and fight
the whole world, It is doubtless from the difference be-
tween these two tasks that there are men who can do
nothing but object, and who are never so wise as when
in opposition. There never,, indeed, was so sudden and
plentiful a crop of political philosophy and virtue as that
which has sprung up since last Friday fortnight. Never
has the mind of man marched so quick, or peogress been
so universal'. The Usorelhe pity that it happens to be
too late. Three weeks ago none would have hailed it
more gladly than we. There was then a Government
to warn and to advise, but on the whole to befriend
and to assist, and that we were perfectly ready to do.
Whatever our minor differences on questions in
this or that department, we never withheld our
support on a question that could be considered
one of confidence. That Government is now gone, cer-
tainly from no act of ours, under circumstances which
seem to preclude its early return to office. These circumes
stances have been so often described, and really are so,
evident and confessed, that we need not refer more par-
ticularly
to them at this moment. As tke nation, re.-
presented in the Legislature, . and in that respect not
unfaithfully represented, would no longer have the 146
Government, it seems only rational and decent to giffe.
a fair trial to the other' alternative, there really beslg
only one other under existing circumstances. We mitke
the best of a bdd job,' and recommend that course, when
lo and behOldethere starts up e,legien of Philosophers,
patriots, agitators, essayists, and speculative M.P.'s, ad-
vancing with the profoundest earnestness, end the most
studied phraseology, excellent reasons why of the two
possible Godernments the present is the worse. Their
reesons.would have been invaluable three weeks ago,
when theso same persons were undermining the then
Government by every means in their power, and seizing
the opportunity of every little bitch, arid every internal
schism, to trip up the heels of the Minister; but
they aro now as useless' as they aro cheap.
But we are told by a great northern light, and
the remark is endorsed by a clever weekly contempo-
rary, that the necessity now alleged is a fictitious one,
created by the very party which makes it a plea for for-
bearance. Mrs Cadet', says, " the whole difficulties
which they (the Whigs) have experienced in carry-
ing on the Government in the House of Commons have
arisen from the fact that you have 200 to 230 gentlemen
banded together, apparently with the most- intense feel-
ing of self-interest, and with the most determined reso-
lution to oppose any Government which did not consult
their interest." But what are 230 gentlemen in a House
of 654 Members? The statemont bears 'on its very sue.
face its own confutation; indeed, the speaker is forced
to explain beforehand that the difficulties caused by
those 230 gentlemen were " in addition to the difficulty
which exists in the inherent weakness of the Whig
party," and he also incidentally drops that he is him-
self no partisau of the Whigs. He might have said
even more. But when the Whig party is admitted
to have been inherently weak, and also not to have
enjoyed the general, support of Mr. Cobden and
his friends, why throw the blame of the recent
mishap on the 230 gentlemen? The footpad who sur-
rotinded and robbed six travellers on Hounslow-heath
could never have succeeded if they had been true to
themselves and one another. But the truth is, Mr. Cob-
den and his friends hive been quite as great a difficulty
to the late Government as, Lord Derby and his friends.
Only last session . they beat' Government on the ballot,
and en • the proposed creation of county lot house-
holders; and they have rather studiously abstained from
voting on questions of canfidence. Last year Mr.

only supplanted ono nuisance by another still worse, viz.,
y;
dtihteoofrythat

the domination of a 'few great families; and he im-
proved the discovery to observe, that the thing now to
be done was to extinguish the Whigs, whatever the
consequences. It 9annot.,he eleniedthat Areeßright ancf
othersetofet liise patty'baae acted with this view, and
rather too simply with this view.. Nor can it be denied
that the line of the Manchester school, and the line of
many Members 'elected by large popular constituencies,
is far more calculated to embarrass any existing Go•
vernment than to advance any assignable policy. We
tell these gentlemen, therefore, that they have to thank
themselves very much for the present emergency, un-
less, indeed, it have really entered into their plan, in
which case, of course, they will thank themselves for it.
If, then, the present movement out of doors is simply
against a Derby Administration—simply against the
notion of this empire being governed by the so-called
country party, we can only ask, " Why didn't you keep
the country party out?" An orator in the north the other
day quoted the well-known lines in which the speaker
is a'ked whether the lion at the door of the house shall
be kept out or admitted and then turned 'out. Like all
theetther good things said on this subject, the quotation
is too late. The lion was at the door three weeks ago.
lle is now inside, and the question is what is to be
done with an admitted though troublesome guest.
But what is the practical value and purport of all
this agitation? They who let the late Govern-
ment be turned out, without . caring who was
to come in, are now for turning. out the present
Government, with a like indifference to the necessary
consequences. They are simply for turning out all Go-
vernments; only some they throw down, and others they
let drop. To turn out the new Government is simply to
reinstate the old—that is, to put ourselves in the posi-
tion which was untenable . three weeks. since. Are we
to trust that the lesson will not be lost on any of the
offending parties; that Lord. John will reinforce his
Cabinet and bring in better measures; and' that the
Leagners will be rather 'more faithful to their Whig
alliance? That, oreourse, would be a very wise expe-

HER XLD.--Two of the free trade journals the Globe
and the Daily News, instead of resigning themselves.
calmly, to the inevitable defeat which has
some upon
them, seem to grow daily more and more rabid, and intent
on mischief. Their theme from Monday to Saturday, is
still the same:—Either Lord Derby is a Protectionist,
and, as such, a public enemy, to be hunted down by
any and every means;—or else, be is not a Protectionist;-
and then he is a hypocrite,—a cheat; who must be

posed and disgraced, for, the sake of the public moralitWe have already given one effectual answer to this alt.

these instances, Mr. Canning was a leading advocate of
Romish Emancipation, and it was from a dread of his
using his power to advance that cause, that Sir R. Peel
and others quitted bim. Re became Premier; but -
in-
stead of immediately endeavouring to carry that ques-
tion which had been a favourite object with him for
_many years,—he at once announced a trace; and post-
poned all 'allusion to the subject till the public mind
should become better informed, and more favourable to
his views. In the same spirit did Lord John Russell act
tin 1846. Only one year before he had pointed out an
establishment for the Romish priests in Ireland as the
proper accompaniment of the Mayuooth Endowment
'Bill. He accepted the Premiership, and Mr. T. s.
Dancombe immediately asked whether he did not mean
to carry out his own declarations ? He at once replied
that he did not. Ile•declared his opinion to remain un-
altered ; but he postponed all action in the matter until
the popular mind should be more favourable to the pro-
posal. Lord Derby now accepts office, having sought it
tar less—having avoided it far more—than either Mr.
n Canikele,
ee or Lord 6 John .Russell ever did. His position
very
Elderly resembles theirs. He declares, as they did,
his opinion as to an import duty on corn to remain un-
altered. But he postpones, as they did, the acting out
of
his own views until he sees in the public mind, as ex-
pressed in Parliament, a readiness to concur in his
opinion. And for thus following in their steps the
Liberal journals, which saw nothing to blame in Mr.
Canning '
a or Lord John Russell's policy, now set up
a bray, oxclaiming, "If you do not at • once
act upon . your own views and declared opi-
ne:Ate, you are a most dishonest and perfidious man."
The in •
consistency of this conduct, in those who
saw nothing to blame in the former cases, is obvious.
The inconsistency is enough in itself to condemn their
simulated zeal and assumed love of stern integrity. But
there is another point of view, in which their conduct
appears as absurd as it is disingenuous. Do these gen-
tlemen wish to leave the Queen without any. Ministry at

SIBPWRECK IN DUBLIN BAY •--The brig Which was
wrecked in the bay, shows her masts above water at ebb tide.
She is said to have been bound from Liverpool to Waterford
with a cargo of salt. The bodies of the two pilots who were
drowned have not been found. The vessel lies about a mile
from Kingstown harbour. The Freeman's Journal says she
iS supposed to ba as Austrian laden with grain.

"This comes," said Sir

tegardiete of the opinion, out of doors. It is just what
those people, the Protectionists, wanted me to do, but I
wontrnot." These memorable words of a groat man on
4reat ()cession convey in a emall space the few'', the„ry
of goVernoeent, and the true duties of statesmen. 'This
will at once be manifest it we compare them with the
declaration of Lord John Russell with which he intro-
duced his new Reform Bill, that it was his intention to
preserve the existing balance between the agricultural
and manufacturing interests, so that whatever may be the
Outage in the relative 'power, wealth, intelligence, or in-
fluence of different classes, their respective weight iu the
Legislature shall remain for ever constant and un-
changed.
The sole object and tendency of such a provision is to
establish as wide a breach as pessibie between the
opinion of Parliament and the opinion of the country,.
and by so doing to counteract and destroy as far as
may be the benefit of • representative institutions, and to
present cur Legislature to the country not as a body to
be 'respected and obeyed, but to be intimidated and.,
-coereo& The proposition of Lord John Russell to con-
tinue and perpetuate the present balance of interests is
nothing more than a plan to enable a Minister to do the
very thing denounced by Sir Robert Peel—to govern by
a numerical majority in Parliament while the sense and
intellect of the country are against him. It is to atm
him with a sword which he ought never to dray, and
ehicheeif drawn, is sure to wound most deeply the hand
thathedds it. If a prudent man finds himself in such a posi-
tion,:possessed of a majority ready to carry out views which
the nation repudiates, what course of action would those
who advocate the perpetuation of an influence which
renders Parliament an exponent of anti-national senti-
ments recommend? Shall he :persevere? The fate of
France is before him, and of numerous other Govern-
ments which, having succeeded, in corrupting or packing
popular assemblies, have forgotten that by those very
arts they have deprived those bodies of the influence
over the people which they were created to exercise, and
have only awoke from the delusion amid the thunders of
incipient revolution. Shall he, on the other hand, do as
Sir Robert Peel did, save his infatuated adherents ire
spite of themselves, and surrender his name to obloquy
and his memory to reproach, because he refuses to avail
himself of the corruption of the Senate in order to
crush the will of the people ? The prudence of such a
course cannot be doubted, but it exacts from the man

Aho adopts it a rare abnegation of self and a patriotism
seldom found in or out of place. Que mon.no7r. soit
mail que France soit libre, is when sincere an aspiration
of almost superhuman disinterestedness. Yet
,ope
eer other of these• Ours& a 'Minister placed in the
situation we have described must infallibly take.
He may at any time be called upon to choose le-:-
tween his country and himself. Sir Robert Peel six
years ago preferred his country; Lord Derby may, for
aught we know, be called upon to make a similar dee-
tion, and may decide it in a contrary way. At any rate,
supposing him to follow the example of Sir R. Peel, we
shall have the misfortune of witnessing twice in six years
.the authority of Parliament virtually superseded by an
appeal to the popular will, and a new premium given to
those who by means of public meetings and inflamma-
tory harangues profess to elicit and express the opinions
of the people. Now,
we ask, why should we be conti-
nually placing Ministers in this invidious and dangerous
position? Why should they perpetually be obliged to
choose between their character and their country ? Why
should we refer them as an oracle for their guidance to
the opinion of a majority of Parliament, and yet defy
them to act on such an opinioneunder the penalty of
bringing about some terrible and undefinableeatastrophe ?
Who are the gainers by such a system as this, which is
perpetually
staking their continuance on the prudence or timidity of
exposing " our" institutions to hazard, and
a single man? No one that we know of, except pro-
fessional agitators, whose coarser powers enable them
to find amid the plaudits of large meetings 'a fame they
would hardly attain in the discussions of more select
assemblies; yet to such things we must constantly be
liable so long as the anomalies are permitted to con-
tinue, a steeling illustration of which will be found in
this day's issue. Jobbing politicians manufactUre
votes and seats ad libitum, and call the result of
these shabby contrivances " political influence." They
may thus obtain political influence in quiet
times, but when the storm rises and the safety of
the Teasel depends on the accuracy of her course a
true statesman will never steer by a compass whose
needle he knows to be drawn aside by undue
attraction. It has been quite easy to give Dorsetshire
an squat representation with Middlesex; but wo to the
statesman who should fall into the mistake of consider-
ing tee gain of the fourteen votes. of Dorsetshire as
equivalent to the lose of the fourteen votes of Middle-
sex. In the political equation the two sides may be
apparently equal, and yet the real value of them vastly
different. The counters
,may pass for the same amount
in the Parliamentary game of speculation, but this con-
ventional standard vanishes the moment we seek to
convert them into real money. The question is cowing
every day to be more, not what was the majority, but of
what elements did it consist? On which side were the
representatives of wealth, intelligence, and population,
the independence and intellect of the House? To do the
House of Commons justice, it has, since
the ileforiu Bill, shown itself superior to the prin-
ciples of its construction, and evinced a deference
,for public opinion far greater than could be ex-
pected from so anomalous a body. This, as we
have. said, is very well for quiet 'times, but
crisis is impending, in which we are destined acutely to
feel the dangers of a system of representation founded
on no avowed principle. Lord Derby talki of appealing
to the country—meaning by the country the consti-
tuencies as at present divided and organized. How de-
sirable it would be if those constituencies really consti-
tuted a jury to whose verdict both parties would be dis-
posed to submit! But the tribunal is discredited before

it is appealed to. Being weak in Parliamentary votes,
the larger and wealthier constituencies naturally feel
that they must make up in clamour and egitation for
their unequal representation in Parliament. The deci-
sion of a jury picked ,irt favour of- the•lander3•fnterett'
'will not be accepted. That will bo yielded to threats and
intimidation which ought to be the result of ,the quiet
working of our Constitution, and if Dorchester be al-
lowed to cancel Middlesex in Parliament, the balance
will be redressed elsewhere.

All permanent Government must ultimately be tbr
Government of enlightened public opinion, and the
superiority of free over despotic States lies principally
in this—that in the former public opinion can be ex-
pressed by regular organs peacefully and deliberately,
while in the latter violence must precede its expression
as the lightning is the precursor of the thunder. If
this be so, what shall we say of statesmen who endea-
vour so to model our institutions that they shall not be
true exponents of that public opinion which shall
ultimately prevail, but delight in teaching Parliament to
speak one language, while those whom Parliament
ought to represent are holding another? Is it for the
good of our country or the stability of our institutions
that it should be even possible that while the majority of
the wealth, intelligence, and population of the country
are against a tax on bread, a majority may be returned
to the House of Commons favourable to its re-imposi-
tion, and therefore that the people, debarred by political
jugglery froin giving vent to their opinions in a consti-
tutional way, must seek some new and unrecognized
method of making them known? There may be those
who wish Lord Derby to govern by a numerical ma-
jority in Parliament regardless of opinion out of doors,
but if be be patriotic he will not, and if he be prudent
he dare net.—Times.
