ABUSE OF CHARITY TRUSTS.

LOSS OF LIFE IN COAL-MINES.

Mr. MARK PHILLIPS gave notice that to-mor-
row he should move for a return of the Coroners' In-
quests held on persons kil!ed during the last five years

NSULT TO THE BRITISH FLAG.

An HON. MEMBER on the Opposition side of the
House, whose name we could not learn, said he had
seen an article in the Times newspaper affecting; the
conduct of the Officer in command at Vera Cruz.
He wished to ask the Under Secretary to the Ad-
miralty whether the Admiralty were satisfied with the
conduct of that officer on that'occasion ?
Mr. C. WOOD was sorry'to do so, but he really
must decline answering the question, which he did not
'kink a proper one to be put ;it this moment.
NAVY ESTIMATES.

Sir G. CLERK believed the rule of the House
was tbat on Wednesdays Orders of the Day should take
precedence of Notices, and it was understood that
the orders were to be taken into consideration as they
stood in the book. As there were several questions
which might occupy a considerable time, he wished to
ask whether it was intended to take precedence on the
motion for going into Committee of Supply with the
resumption of the debate on the Nave• Estimates.
Mr. C. WOOD could not answer the question in
the absence of Lord John Russell.

The SPEAKER said, if there was any intention to
depart from the rule, it was necessary notice should be
gizen.—( Hear, hear.)
Lord HO WICK said, if Hon. Gentlemen were dis-
posed to waive their claims of priority, it would be a
great convenience.—(Hear, hoar.)

A Tale of the Sixth CrusadeM.
" The author not inaptly designates this ' a novel in rhyme,'
and it has merits in both respects. As a tale it has much to
rivet attention ; it is cast in a superior mould, and the charac-
ters and incidents are naturally and skilfully evolved. The lan-
guage throughout is remarkably easy and graceful; the rhyme,
which, combined with the natural flow of the verse, is a good
test of f i .ility in execution, is of singularly uniform correct-
ness; and here are passages which, for poetic fancy and genuine
feeling, would do credit to some of our best poets."—Liverpool

gion, Jurisprudence, &c., of the Chinese Empire.

" We obtain from these volumes more information of a prac-
tical kind than from any other publication ; a closer view of the
domestic life of the Chinese—of the public institutions—the
manufactories—natural resources, and literature. The work,
in fact, is full of information, gathered with diligence, and
fairly leaves the English reader without any excuse for ignorance
on the subject."—Atlas.

BEER HOUSES.

Mr. HALFORD presented a petition from the Ma-
gistrates of Leicester, in Quarter Sessions, praying for
a correction of the evils arising from the present system
of beer shops.
Mr. WARBURTON presented a petition from
Huddersfield, signed by upwards of 9,000 persons, in
favour of the existing beer-shops, and representing that
poverty and want of education had produced the evils
which were often ascribed to the influence of the beer-
shops.

Mr. PALMER presented a petition from Berkshire
in favour of an alteration in the beer-shop system.
Mr. HODGES presented a petition from the
Western Divis.on of the county of Kent, and signed
by eighteen Resident County Magistrates, twenty-six
Clergymen, eleven Solicitors, thirty-seven Churchwar-
dens, Guardians of the Poor, &c., six Bankers, and a
great number of independent Gentlemen, to the number
of 140, resiGing in the neighbourhood of Maidstone,
aincht a very crowded population, complaining of the
injurious effects of the beer-shops on the rural popula-
tion, and stating that these ill effects were lamented by
every Grand Jury pres,ntment ; by every Judge's
charge; by every account of the Commissioners of
Insolvent Debtors ; and were evidenced by every
police report, and by the crowded state of every gaol.
The Hon. Member also presented a petition from the
same county in favour of the Corn-laws.
Colonel RUS HBRO 0 KE presented a great number
of petitions from Suffolk to a similar effect. .

Mr. PENDARVES presented a petition from the

CORN-LAWS.

Mr. SANFORD. presented a petition from forty-

BEER ACT.

The HON. GENTLEMAN also presented a pe-
tition, signed by forty Magistrates of the county of So-
merset, complaining of the operation of the Beer•laws,

ford to the same effect.

jetting was asked for further statements. If there was
any doubt in the case, the caveat was trans-
mitted to the Registrar-General, with copies of
all the documents, and all the correspondence, together
with written statements of any verbal communications.
If no caveat was entered, and no one knew what was to
take place, there was not and, could not be any objec-
tion. It was utterly impossible in a very large and
populous parish, in some instances, to know or to sus-
pect any invalidity between two parties who came to
contract marriage. When the Registrar was not able
to come to a satisfactory decision be was to inquire into
the facts and transmit the whole to the Registrar-
General ; and if the Registrar-General had been pre-
sent, undoubtedly what was now complained of would
not have taken place. The regulations which had
been passed were well calculated to elicit the facts
which were necessary to be'known, in order to prevent
improper marriages taking place. He (the Lord Chan-
cellor) was not aware of any general regulation that
could be made, better calculated to secure the object
desired, and upon the whole he considered these regula-
tions very well calculated to secure the object.
The Bishop of LONDON said he was informed of
another case which was still stronger than what bad
been mentioned, where a marriage took place between
a man and his wife's. sister's 'daughter, the facts of

CORN-LAWS.
The Marquis of SALISBURY said a notiee of
motion respecting Corn-laws bad been given by a
Noble Earl whom he did not now see in his place,
Could the Noble and Learned Lord opposite inform
the House whether it was the intention of that Noble
Earl to bring on the motion upon the day on which it
was then fixed.
Lord BROUGHAM wished that it was in his
power to give a more decisive answer than it was now
in his power to do. He was in correspondence with
his Noble Friend, and he could say that it was not his

Mr. C 0 U RTE NA Y presented a petition from Bridg-
water (as we understood), complaining that certain pro-
perty had been left to be devoted for the purposes of
educating children belonging to the Church of England ;
that up to the passing of the Municipal Reform Act those
trusts had been faithfully executed by the then existing
trustees, but since that period new Charity Trustees had
been nominated by the Lord Chancellor, the majority of
whom were Dissenters, and that now children not of the
Church of England derived advantage from this charity,
and praying the House for redress. In making this state-
ment he (Mr. Courtenay) wished it to be distinctly un-
derstood that he did not cast any imputation on the
Lord Chancellor, he had acquainted the Noble and
Learned Lord with the substance of this petition,
and the Noble Lord had stated his ignorance of the
fact of these trustees being Dissenters, so that it was
evident that the Noble and Learned Lord had
been greatly deceived.

STATE OF THE NAVY.

Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON—It might be
considered that there. was little more to be said upon
the subject of the Navy, but he could assure' the
House that in the very able speech which had fallen
from the Honourable Secretary to the Admiralty,
the topics he was about to bring under the
notice of the House had not been touched. He would

press his sentiments on the House, because he knew that

according to the present system gross injustice had been
done. He could assure the Hon. Secretary that ships
alone would not make a fleet—something more was re-
quired, which the present system did not do
much towards obtaining. He wished to pro-
duce, if possible, that which was very much wanted

—contentment among the officers and the men in every
ship in the service. There was one point which be
wished to press very strongly upon the attention of
the Board of Admiralty , it was that no ship of
war, of whatever kind, should ever be sent
out to sea, unless she had such a compliment of officers
and men as would enable her to meet any exigency. On
the Ist of June, when serving in Lord Howe's ship (as
we understood) the ships had such a complement of
men as gave 11 to every 18 pounder, and 13 to every
32, but at Navarino the battle was fought with a com-
plement which gave only 93.- men to every 32 pounder.
He hoped that the House would give him their attcn-

Not being restricted in regard to the investment of its Ca-

cumbered with the heavy responsibilities of Life Offices, on
account of the immense sums assured by them, the " CITY

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 27.—Things are at a standstill
and likely to remain so. Mehemet has entered into the
spirit of the treaty of commerce, by permitting all Eu-
ropeans cultivating land in Egypt the free exportation of
their produce ; and the merchants have received a firman
allowing them to purchase maize from the fellahs. His
Highness Mehemet Ali, at the request of the Royal
Society of London, has ordered the construction of an
observatory for meteorological and magnetic experiments,
to complete the series already made by that Society in
several other parts of the world. These experiments
will be superintended by M. Lambert, of the School of
Engineers at Cairo. The observatory will be built upon
the island of Boulac, and all the instruments and appa-
ratus will be sent from London.
CAIRO, Nov. 23.—Abbaz Pacha has been here for
some time, but has now proceeded to Damietta. During
his stay here he passed the following rigorous sentence,
which has been loudly blamed as barbarous by Eu-
ropeans, but is considered an act of impartial justice by
the aborigines :

A young Turkish female of surpassing loveliness, for
some reason, could not agree with her legitimate spouse;
and, after some severe domestic strife, she was repu-
diated and sent forth from the congugal harem. She
took advantage of this liberty, and received the amorous
salents of a young Greek, in whose society she was dis-
covered by the mercilessly moral police of this country.
Thus surprised in a tetc-a-tete, which is so severely
proscribed by the Koran, notwithstanding the voluptuous
disorder of her costume, she was dragged to a prison,
from which she has just been led, to expiate her crime
in the Nile, into which she was thrown, to the great joy
of a vast concourse of Molhus and Ulemahs, who were
unmoved by her heartrending shrieks and prayers for
mercy.

ALbaz Pacha would fain have made the young Greek
experience this " mode of navigation," but he called
upon his Consul to protect him from the rigour of the
Turks. Moreover, the young Greek solemnly protests
that his lovely but unfortunate companion had fallen a
victim to the gross calumnies of the police, and that he
was merely visiting her for the purpose of purchasing
some of her jewels.
An Arab is to be stoned to death to-day for a crime
of an aggravated nature (incest), which, according to
oriental custom, receives this dreadful punishment.

The County is the only Fire Office which has constantly
made Returns to its Members, and for a long series of years.
These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have
amounted to upwards of 100,0001.
In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided
among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of
from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty oft his own life
for 8,000/., which additions increased to 3,9631.
Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up
within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro-
jected within the last two or three years, it may be necessary
to observe, that all th• substantial advantages promised by such
new Offices have been long realised under the plans and ma-
nagement of the Provident Life Office.

CIETY, 351, Strand.

Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wealthy, viz.
Ist. Insuring their lives in sums from 51. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effectid
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 201. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.

The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
hence:orth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.

Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.

Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR against the
POST-OFFICE ALMANAC, on account of the more im-
portant part of its contents having been printed from the
POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY for 1840,
or from the IMPERFECT PROOF SHEETS thereof, sur-
reptitiously obtained. To prevent the successful repetition of
any similar experiment, the Proprietor of the Directory has,
in Forty Closely Printed Royal Octavo Pages, recompiled
the entire POST-OFFICE DIRECTORY division of the
Work at the Price of ONE SHILLING.

increase factories ; and, pretending to pity the suf-
ferings of the overworked manufacturing labourers.
particularly the poor infants, who scarcely eve:
know what an hour's liberty or a play day is, they
deprecate a measure which will add, as they say, to
the mass of human wretchedness in our towns and
increase the degradation and degeneracy of our po-
T,,ulation. Such an argument in the mouth of a Tory
—such a pretended regard for persons, whom the
Tories treat in general with undisguised contempt,
calling them the canaille, denying them all political
rights, except the right of being sabred or hanged i:
they do not obey the orders, however absurd or cue
they may be, of Tory law-makers, causes in us i:1-
creased disdain of the measureless hypocrisy of 1
these brutal and cruel politicians. For years thcy 1
have sought, by denying political rights, by den ing
education, by refusing when they were able all r-2-
lief from an onerous and unjust system of taxatiom,
to keep the working classes in the most pitia!,:e
state of slavery ; and now, when it may serve a
temporary political purpose, they pretend to he
grievously afflicted at the prospect of those evils
which they have laboured most ardently and cell-
stantly to accomplish.
The silliness of their p e-
tended regard for the people is nearly as palpn'lle
as their hypocrisy ; but it shall be our present 1:u-
-siness to make it as clear as day.
At present there is great and acknowledged
..!
tress in the manufacturing districts, caused a t
1' ! affirm by the Corn-laws ; and there is amongs,.
agriculturists, caused as the anti-abolitionists asi .;.
by the same laws, a great degree of prospezity;:
while the agricultural labourers must go shoeless
and hungry to work, it may well be doubted wile.
ther a distressed manufacturing is not better off than
a prosperous agricultural labourer. Whoever heard
of the agricultural labourers in any district collect-
. ing, like the spinners, 12,0001., 10)0004 or
1 8,0001., to obtain any political object; or any ob-
i ject whatever ? In general, the condition of the
manufacturing labourers is one of opulence Com•
pared to that of their agricultural brethren. Some
of the former may be for a season out of work, but
their destitution is on a level with the prosperity

by this admirable medicine is principally due to its mode of
operation, in communicating strength to the constitution When
impaired or debilitated by imprudence, without producing the
slightest nausea or inconvenience. All
the symptoms of these
terrible disorders are instantly and most materially mitigated by
the use of this remedy ; whilst the more violent are entirely pre-
vented from being developed under any circumstancs.
