GREAT ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE
UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSU-
RANCE COMPANY,
8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, and 2, Charlotte-row, Mansion-
house, London.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the
most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re-
quires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of life one
half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five
years after the date of the Policy, the other half may remain,
subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent. annually, to be
dedacted at. death, or may previously be paid off at convenience.
It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate
income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his
family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance
succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy,
having only paid one half the premiums ter the first lye years,
instead of the whole, as in all other Companies.
Thus a man of 2.5 years old may, by an annual payment of
28/. 16s. ad. for the first live years, and afterwards
by paying yearly the full premium of 571. 12s. (id., se.
cure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less
than 3,000/., subject only to the deduction of 144/. Is, 3d ,
with interest, being the amount of premium unpaid.
This Company holds out, in various other respects, great
inducements to the public. When such facilities are afforded,
it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not posessed
of however moderate, to insure
ahie liffeorftournae, but ofsum an income,
ao
comfortable provision for
which
manyy
his family.

REPRESENTATION OF WEST SUSSEX.—We
rejoice to announce that Colonel Charles Wyndham, of
Rogate, will be a candidate nt the next election for the
Western Division of this county. Such is the first effect
of the Duke of Norfolk's indecent interference with the
representation of the Rape. Without the power of secur-
ing the return of Mr. Salomons (in whose fAvour his inte-
rest was given at the last election secretly, as it i 3 now
given openly), he has raised a flame that will certainly
lead to the expulsion of his own son fi-orn the county. and
possibly that of his grandson from Arundel. —Brighten
Gazette (Tory Paper).
As a contrast to the involuntary " Offerings"
wrung from Dissenters by Clergy and Proctors of the Es-
tablished Church, it is gratifying to remark the readiness
wherewith freewill offerings are made by the Dissenting
body, where they consider the promotion of vital Chris-
tianity at stake. On Tuesday, the 11th instant, after
sermons preached subsequent to the enlargement of a
small Baptist Meeting House in Evesham, the sum of
51/. 15s. 6d. was collected. This, with 204/ 4s. 6J. pre-
-1 viously contributed by the same congregation, completes
1 a total of 2561. raised there within a very few months, over
and above the usual current expenses attendant upon the
1 maintenance of public worship; the whole being given,
.‘ not by restraint, but willingly," in accordance with the
1 precepts of the New Testament. —Worcester Chron.:cle.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF EXCISE.

Before Sir John Mortlock, Chairman, the Hon. Berkeley

Paget, and Hart Davies, Esq.
ILLICIT DISTILLATION.—On Saturday, an information
against a man named James Goody, a most notorious
smuggler, who has frequently been before this Court for
defrauding the revenue, was heard, charging him with
working an illicit still at No. 5, White Horse-street, Lam-
beth.

It appeared from the evidence of Messrs. Austen, Gur-
ton, and Garey, officers of Excise, that the defendant,
who is at present in Ilorsernonger-lane gaol on the
warrant of the Union-hall Magistrates, had long been
carrying on an extensive business at the above
place, supplying most of the large and cheap
gin-shops with illicit spirits; but immediately upon
its coming to the knowledge of the Excise the offi-
cers proceeded to the premises, and obtained ad-
mission by passing through the adjoining house and climb-
ing over the garden wall. In the kitchen they found the
still at work, and the defendant giving instructions to an-
other man in his employment. They seized the still and
several gallons of spirits, and afterwards conveyed the de-
fendant to Union-hall.

Mr. Golding Bird, the chief general examining sur-
veyor of Excise, stated to the Court that the defendant
was an old offender.

The Court condemned the still, &e., and fined the de-
'endant 50/.

Mr. Charles Hammon, beer-shop-keeper, King's Arms,
Lea-bridge, was fined 2.5/., fur illegally selling spirits upon
his premises.
UNDER-STRENGTII Sruarrs —Screral informations were
heard against publicans for having spirits in their posses-
sion more than 17 per cent. under hygrometer proof ;
among the rest were Mr. Bunn, of the Turkish Slave,
Briek,lane, Spitalfields, from whom a quantity of brandy
and rum had been seized, being 26 under proof ; and Mr.
Cockburn, of the Falcon, Old Fish-street, on whose
premises the officers found about six gallons of rum nearly
30 below proof.

The Court condemned the spirits seized, but remitted
he penalty.

CENTRAL CR IMINAL COURT.

Matilda Vozine Fade, a young native of the East
Indies, was indicted for stealing, on the 9th of May, a
watch, a chain, seal, and key, value 31., the property of
Robert Ashby.—The prosecutor, a person about 70, and
dressed in the sty le of an old English gentleman, deposed
that he lives at 29, Richmond-street, Maida-hill. On the
morn'ng of the 9th of May he fell in with the prisoner on
the Harrow-road, near the Grand Junction Canal. He open( d
a conversation with her, and she talked very interestingly
and fluently about the interior of India. She said she was
a governess in a nobleman's family.—Common Sergeant :
Well, I believe you were so pleased with her that you took
her home.—Witness : Yes, when I got to my own
door, I invited her in to breakfast, and introduced her to
my sister, my wife being on a visit at the time. She was
so pleased with her that my sister invited her to come to
tea on the following Sunday, but she came on the previous
Thursday. During her stay we were left alone, as my
sister had withdrawn. After talking awhile the prisoner
said something about going home, but she said—" Pray,
Sir, will you leave the room while I tie up my garters."—
( Laughter.) " Certainly," said I, and I went in the
garden while she did the job.—( Continued laughter.)
On my return she was ready for starting, and I politely
showed her out. She had not been gone long before I
missed my watch from the mantle-piece. That produced,
and the appendages, are mine.
Other witnesses were called, who proved that, after
pawning the watch for a mere trifle, she gave the dupli-
cate and the several appendages named to her friends,
saying that they had been given to her by a gentleman.
Fuller, the policeman who apprehended her, said that
she denied having seen the prosecutor before.
The CONIMON SERGEAN r said her statement before the
justices, and the written papers put in by her to-day, were
nearly tantamount. It set forth that when she was left
in the parlour with the old gentleman he made improper
advances, and she threatened to tell his wife when sho
came home. He prayed her not to do so, as Mrs. Ashby
would for ever upbraid him. He gave her the watch to
hold her peace.
Prosecutor (surprised)—Oh, dear me, I'm not such a
man.—( Laughter. )
The Jury consulted for a considerable time, and then
retired for an hour. When they returned they delivered a
verdict of Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy.
The COMMON SERGEANT inquired of the prisoner her
age, and who and what she was.
She said that she was nineteen years old, and the wife
of an officer in the Lite Guards, but she had not lived with
him since last October.

The COMMON SErtGraxr —I cannot tell what to make of
you, there is so much art and shrewdness about you people,
but, in consideration of the recommendation of the Jury,
the Court will be lenient—its sentence is, that you be kept
to hard labour for two calendar months.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MAIVS7SN-lIOUSE.
TIIE COAL TRADE.-Mr. Bradfield waited upon the
Lord Mayor, and suggested the propriety of requesting
some Members of Parliament to move for returns of the
amount of duty received upon inland coals for the last
twelve months, in order to prove that the abatement of
the charges would have the effect of lowering the prices
of the article.
The LORD Ma voR said that the duty had been already
lowered as much as could be desired, or expected, by
the meeting which took place a short time ago on the
subject. He stated that immense supplies of coals would
very soon be made to the metropolis from pits in Not-
tinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire, in each
of which counties some of the coals were equal in quality
to any at Newcastle or Sunderland, and those of the Tel y
best sorts would be sold at 245. or 255. per ton. Tic
Leicestershire coals, he said, did not burn to white ashes,
so that persons who objected to the light coloured ashes
could be accommodated as the gas companies were supplied.
A deputation bad a few days ago waited upon bim to state
the nature and extent of the preparations which were being
made, and to inform him that a wharf had been taken, from
which the public would be served with the coals without
the chance of disappointment or delay.
Mr. Bradfield returned thanks to the Lord Mayor, for
having departed from the usual practice, by presenting his
petition to the Corporation on the subject of the inland
coals. He begged, at the same time, to be allowed
to make an observation or two on what had passed in
the Court of Common Council on the subject. He
had been accused there of having made the stir originally,
and persevered in his exertions from interested motives
alone, and with having improperly interfered with the
chartered rights of the City. Now, whether interested
motives were or wera not mixed up in his motives, certain
it was that he had, by means of the powerful exertions of
the Lord Mayor, succeeded in his attempts upon the in
terested motives and objects of the great coal monopolisers,
who were already feeling the effects of the open trade,
which was now supplying the public at a rate which ought
never to have been exceeded. With respect to the charge
of having attacked the chartered rights of the City, he
wished to preserve those rights instead of destroying
them ; and those who so charged him, were in a state of
woeful ignorance of their charter. He was sure that his
proposition as to inland coals would have the effect of in-
creas.ng the revenue of the City.
The Loan MAIOR said he thought so himself, but the
dues were mortgaged to the public creditor. As to the
charge rgainst Mr. Bradfield of interested motives, he
(the Lord Mayor) did not clre whether it was well
founded or not. Whatever some people night say, he
was bound in justice to state that so persevering a man as
Mr. Bradfield was, he never, in his life beheld. In spite
of opposition, and scorn, and contempt, Mr. Bradfield bad
continued his attacks upon the monopoly, and he deserved
the gratitude of the public, for through his means an im-
mense public good had been accomplished. The Chief
Magistrate had been enabled, through the information
supplied to him from such a communicant, to make head
against an evil of great magnitude, and would do all in his
power to secure the services of Mr. Bradfield in the ar-
rangements which were in progress for the general supply
of cheap and good coals to the metropolis.

MADRID, JUNE B.—The apple of discord is fast ripening
here. I apprized you of the illegal suspension of the
liberty of the press having been set at defiance by the
editors of all the independent journals, and of no popular
demonstration having taken place yet ; but the forerunners
of a disturbance did not fail to present themselves soon.
In the course of yesterday afternoon hundred of mus-
tachioed National Guards went to the Eco office,
and assured the editors (who had disobeyed M. Carra-
molino's circular) of their readiness and determination to
support them vi et arniis against any measure or act of
violence the Government might contemplate against
their persons or property. This was pretty sig.
nfficant. The National Guard is armed, and
their Main Guard is at the Post Office in the Puerta del
Sol within half musket shot of the office of the Eco, on the
opposite side, near the entrance of the Calle del Arenal.
The Government has not a force sufficient to disarm the
National Guards, supposing that the troops of the line
could be relied upon, which is very questionable, though
there is no doubt that the Ministry would be foolish
and wicked enough to attempt it, if they saw the
slightest chance of success ; for Carratnolino, the
Minister of the Interior, whose immorality occasioned
all this, is too far committed to retrace his steps—and
Alaix, the Minister of War, is a great friend of arbitrary
measures, and a great foe of the press, he would, therefore,
willingly lend his assistance in putting it down—and
the rest of the Cabinet are far too ft eble as well as
too corrupt to offer any resistance, and the Captain-Gene-
ral is the creature of the Minister of War. Yet there is
one consideration that may check them. This is the
Dictator Espartero, the master of them all ; him they
plainly try to circumvent and to attach to their interest,
for a royal decree in this day's Gazette, confers upon Don
Baldomero Espartero, Count de Luchana, the grandee-
ship of Spain of the first class, with the title of Duke of
Victoria for:himself, his sons, and descendants, with all the
pay appertaining thereto, as a reward for his triumphs at
flamales and Guardamino ; and to General Don Diego
Leon, for his victories in Navarre, the title of Count of
Belascoain.

Espartero having sworn to maintain the Constitution of
1837, and always boasted of his faithful intention to main-
tain it, cannot, and it is hoped will net, lend himself to
any Eucti infringement thereof as this suspension of the
liberty of the press, though some high officers arc not over
partial to it.
To-day it is said that the editor of one of the Liberal
journals is entrenched in his office with thirty armed de-
pendents, apprehending a sudden attack ; as not only the
editors, but the proprietors; and even the printer's devils,
are to be sent to prison. The friends of power, however,
assert that government has no such intention. Some other
editors are stated to have fled or concealed themselves.
However, hitherto every journal has been published re-
gularly, though none of the Liberals complied with M.
Carramolino's mandate, who only covered himself with
ridicule in addition to the disgrace he incurred. The
woman taken in adultery with the Minister Carramolino
is the wife of a M. Princelas, who is contador of the Order
of Carlos 111 , a little hump-backed quizzical-looking
being, who had the high honour of pleasing and marrying the
niece of M. Perez de Castro. They dwell in the Calle de
Ilutrlaz, where the scena and pummelling of his Excel-
lency Senor Carramolino took place, who himself is the son
of a pettifogger of an Escribano two leagues fi on] Avila,
and followed the same profession, got himself by favour of
the justices elected to the Cortes, and by favour of a frail fair
one named a minister by the Premier and Alaix, the former
being the lady's uncle.
The censorship never answered its purpose in Ferdi-
nand's time during the absolutism, when Padre Iluerla. the
Vicar- General of the Dominicans, and San Filipe Veri,
now with the Pretender, was Censor of the Madrid press,
who leaving the perusal of the journals to his cook, many
offensive articles got into the Diario, till the King himself
was compelled to turn out the Padre.
As 20,000 persons are employed and live by the press,
though Spain is not a very reading country, it is feared
that so many persons being deprived of their subsistence
will cause serious disturbances.

SHRINK LNG OF EA lITII.--The shrinking of
earth in the New Town, Whitehaven, to which we adverted
last week, still continues and excites considerable alarm.
A joiner's shop, or moulding-room, belonging to the Earl
of Lonsdale's foundry is so much rent and cracked that it
will have to Le taken down, should it not tumble of its ()tan
accord. This building, however, is connected with a
moving hill in the rear, and hence the extensive damage
it has sustained. The tall chimney attached to the
foundry, though standing in the same yard, but entirely
unconnected with the hill, has not suffered the slightest in-
jury.
The dwelling houses to the south of the foundry
have also been much damaged, but these like all the others
similarly affected arc immediately connected with the im-
mense hill behind, where the fissures or cracks are nearly
a foot wide. The most alarming feature connected with
this mysterious circumstance is, that the bill is slowly but
gradually moving onwards, and as no one can fix a limit
to its progress, nor yet tell where it will stop, its conse-
quences cannot of course be foreseen.—Carlisle Patriot.
HOLE AND CORNER PETITION.—We find in
The Sun newspaper, that r. Wood presented a petition
from Kendal, on Monday night. against the Government
scheme for national education. When, where, and by whom
was the said document got up? We never had any intima-
tionof it in Kendal.—Kendal Mercury.
DEATIIS FROM ERYSIPELAS.—It is computed
that two hundred persons have died within six weeks with
inflammation on the brain, produced by this disease. If
the head and neck of the person so suffering were to be
well bathed every two hours with warm water, and then to
be well rubbed for a considerable time with plenty of
Holloway's Ointment, it would in all cases cure this dis-
ease. The wonderful powers of this extraordinary Oint-
ment over all external diseases are more than astonishing-
It ought to be kept in every family. It can be obtained of
any respectahl.c chemist and druggist throughout the king-
dom ; or of the proprietor, 13, Broad.street-buildings,
