LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Aet 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 of profits made by this Company, 'he
reversionary Bonuses added to the policies 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 LI V ES.—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
ittaitied in each case a value not under 501.
ASSIGNMENTS OF POLICIES—Written Notices of, received

Advice and Medicine. IL

SIR JOHN PAKINGTON
AND THE COLONIES.
Sir John, mighty questions your notice now
If a clear course you'd steer, without 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 outfl,s and dress.
You may canvas each section of England's new laws,
But the brightest enactment gives the people good clothes,
And the mLiister who must provide for all stations,
Is MOSES, Designer of Dress for all nations.
During many long sessions lie has worked in this cause,
His system is based on the best of all laws—
Is the model 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 dominion.
The colonies soon having stated their claims,
Tire thousands from Albion each vessel's list names,
Who are sailing o'er ocean to far distant shores,
Equipped with an outfit from Aldgate's 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 3/. 153.,upwards. A detailed
list can be had on application, or forwarded, post free, to any part of

of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TlMES.—Objection is always easy, for it is never
without meson on its. side, and that reason, be it ever
so little; is all that it is concerned with. On the other
liGhing is less suitable for dashing conjecture, for
lively epigram, or off band 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
.vhich has sprung up since last Friday fortnight. . Never
has the mind of man marched so quick, or progress been
so universal. The more the pity that it happens to be
too late. Three weeks ago none would have hailed it
more gladly than we. Thre 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
ene 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 circum-
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 the nation, re-
oresee ted in the Legislature, and in that respect not
enteithtully represeuttd, would no longer have the late
Governmt nt, it seems only rational and decent to give
t fair trial to the other alternative, there really being
only one other under existing circumstances. We make
the best of a bad job, and recommend that course, when
lo and behold, there starts up a legion of philosophers,
patriots, agitators, essayists, and speculative M.P. s, ad-
vancing with the profoundest earnestness, and the moat
studied phraseology, excellent reasons why of the two
possible Governments the present is the worse. Their
reasons would have bten invaluable three weeks ago,
when these same persons were undermining the then
Government by every means in their power, and seizing
the opportunity of every little hitch, and every internal
schism, to trip up the heels of the Minister; but
they are now as useless as they are cheap.
But we are told by a great northern light, and
the remark is endorsed by a clever weekly contempo-
rery, that the necessity now alleged is a fictitious one,
created by the very party which makes it a plea for for-
bearance. Mr. Cobden 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 yeu 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 statement bears on its very stica,.
face its own confutation; indeed; 'the speaker is forced
to explain beforehand that the difficulties caused by
these 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 in him-
self no partisan of the Whigs. He might have Paid
even more. But when the Whig party is admitted
to have been inherently week, and also not to have
enjoyed the general support of Mr. Cobden end
his friends, why throw the blame of the recent
mishap on the 230 gentlemen? The footpad who sur-
rounded 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 trier,da have been quite as great a difficulty
to the kite Government as Lord Derby and his friends.
Only last session they beat Government on the ballot, '
end on the proposed creation of county 10/ house-
holders; and they have rather studiously abstained from
voting on questions of confidence. Last year Mr.
Bright expounded at great length, and with more than
his usual:historical research, a very pretty theory that
the Whigs after living since 1688 on the credit of having
turned out the Stuarts and arbitrary power, have in fact
only supplanted one nuisance by another still worse, viz.,
the domination of a few great families; and he im-
proved the discovery to observe, that the thing now to
he done was to extinguish the Whigs, whatever the
consequences. It cannot be denied that Mr. Bright and
others of his party have acted with this view, and
rather too simply wish this view. Nor can it be denied
tnat tee line of the Manchester school, and the line of
many Members elected by large popular constituencies,
is tar more calculated to embarrass any existing Go,
comment 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 Administreation—eimply against the
notion of this empire bring governed by the se-called
country party, we can only ustk, " 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 asked whether the lion at the door of the house shall
be kept out or admitted and then turned out. Like all
the other good things said on this subject, the quotation
is too late. The lion was at the door three weeks ago.
le 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 posit-
rpastl naccsomPoniasirr.i der that
tent which was untenable three weeks since. Are we
y
to trust that the lesson will not be ;lost on any of the
offending parties; that Lord John will reinforce his

them, seem to grow daily more, and more rabid, end intent

establishment for the Romish priests in Ireland as the

immediately asked whether he did not mean
to carry out his own declarations ? Be at once replied
that he did not. He declared his opinion to remain un-
altered ; but be postponed all action in the matter until
the popular mind should be more favourable to the pro-
posal. Lord Derby

far less—having avoided it far more—than either Mr.
Canning or Lord John Russell ever did. His position
very nearly resembles theirs. He declares, as they did,
his opinion as to en import duty on corn to remain un-
altered.
But he postpones, as they did, the acting out
of his own vienws until he sees in the public mind, as ex-
pressed in Parliament, a readiness to concur
opinion. And for thus following in their steps the
Liberal journals, which saw nothing to blame in Mr.
Cannin '

a bray, exclaiming, olf you do not at once

the French revolution, in 1848, of attempting to govern
by ti,nutnerical majority in the Legislative Assernbly,
rogsidless of the opinion cut of doors. It is just what
these people, the Protectioni*ts, wanted me to do, but I
y in a small space the true theory
of l
woula-not." These memorable. words of a greet mtin on
a ;rest occasion a
n citlidnyte true duties of statesapn. Thisel
will it once be manifest if wo compare them vfith the
(ieelaration of Lord John with which he intro-
duc:td his new Iteforrn Bill, that it was his intention
to
preserve the existing balance between the agricultural
and manufacturing interests, so that whhtever may lin the
change in the relative power, wealth, intelligence, or
fluence of different classes, their respective 'weight in 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 possible between thu
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 our Legislature to the country not as a pony to
be respected and obeyed, but to be intimidated and

coerced. The proposition of Lord John Russell to con-
tinue and perpetuate the present balance of interests i 5
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 arm
him with a sword which he ought never to draw, and
which, if drawn, is sure to wound most deeply the hand
thaOolds it. If a prudent man finds himself in tuch a posi-
.49l.4o6Beifnd..of a majority ready to carry out vie we 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 hie infatuated adherents in

spite of themselves, and surrender his name to oblogay
and his memory to reproach, because he refuses i.o 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

ho adopts it a rare abnegation of self and a patriotism
seldom found in or out of place. Que mon nom soit
mais que France soit Libre, is when sincere an aspiration
of aluy,st superhuman disinterestedness. Yea one
or other of these courses a Minister Owed in the
situation we have described must intallibly take.
He may at any time be called upon to choose be-
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 lee-
iion, 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

an
the authority of Parliament virtually superseded byappeal to the popular will, and a new premium given to
those who by meaus 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 dety.
them to act on such an opinion, under the penalty of
bringing about some terrible and undefinable catastrophe?
Who are the gainers by such a system as this, which is
perpetually exposing our institutions to hazard, and
staking their continuance on the prudence. or timidity of
asingle men? No one that we know uf, 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 coustanily be
liable so long as the anomalies are permitted to
con-
tinue,
a striking 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 vessel 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 equal representation with Middlesex; bat wo to the
statesman who should fall into the mistake of consider-
ing the gain of the fourteen votes of Dorsetshire as
equivalent to the loss of the fourteen votes of Middle-
sex. In the political—equation ethaeAseet sides. enay-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 'peculation, but this con-
ventional standard vanishes the moment we seek to
convert them into real money. The question is coming
every day to be Fiore, not what was the majority, but of
what elements did it consist? On which side wee the
representatives of wealth, intelligence, and population,
the independence and intellect of the House? To do the
House of Commons justice, it has, since
Reform Bill, shown itself superior to the prin-
ciples of its construction, and evinced a deference
for public opinion far greater than could be ex-
dimuopgeonrdisnogf insywahfrinich wofe arerop
ex-
pected from so anumalous a body. This, as we
have is vere, well for quiet times, but a
c'terel‘sllsthles
on no avowed principle. Lord Derby talks of appealing
rdeessetnintaetdioanefuotueni:vc.leido
tQ the country—meaning by the country the consti-
tuencies as at present divided and organized. How de-
sirable it would be if those constituencies realfr 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 Parliaattntery votes,
the larger and wealthier constituencies na;urally feel
that they must make up in clamour and agitation for
their unequal representation in Parliament. The deci-
sion of a jury packed in favour of the landed interest
will not be accepted. That will be 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 the
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 deliberiltely,
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 possil7le 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 1 a vourable to its re-imposi-
tion, and therefore that the :pi tople, debarred by political
jugglery from giving vent to .their opinions in a consti-
tutional way, must seek ,tame new and unrecognized
method of making them kn<wt•n? There may bo those
who wish Lord Derby to govern by a numerical ma-
jority in Parliament regarcil,E,e,s of opinion out of doors,
