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
deducted 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 relinquisk his policy,
having only paid ono half the premiums for the first five years,
instead of the whole, as in all other Companies.
Thus a roan of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
2.87. 16s. U. for the first five years, secure to kis widow and
children at Nis death payment of no less than 3,000/., subject
only to the, deduction if 144/. Is. 3d., being the amoant of
premium unsaid.
This Cos npany holds out, in various other respects, great
inducement; to the public. When such facilities are afforded,
it is clearly a moral duty in every parent wko is not possessed
of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure
his life for a sum which easy yield a comfortable provision for
his family.

MR. FROST.

Mr. PR AED , having seen a statement in the
papers that Mr. Frost had been struck off
the Commission of the Peace, wished to ask the
Noble Lord opposite whether that was the case, and
whether there would be any inconvenience in laying on
the table of the House the whole of the correspondence
between the Home-office and that person.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL had thought it his duty
to represent the case to the Lord Chancellor, but did
not think it would be right to produce the correspon-
dence at present.

NELSON MON UMEN T.

Should the design— of ir—r. Railton be carried into
effect, London may one day boast of the highest
Corinthian column ever erected. The Romans
were the first people who adopted the single column
of a gigantic height as a monument to the
memory of great men ; and though this has
been imputed to them as a symptom of declining
taste in the arts, it is certainly no proof of
their decline in morals. The two chief columns
that exist were erected
..to Trajan and Anto-
ninus, alike distinguished for their benevolence,
and for moAst osfmthaellvir=itlll7.t at.idleornmSodtaetlesfmorenmanrd.
capital of the pro-
posed design, was erected to an imaginary per-
sonage of a very different description, Mars Ultor,
which stands in front of the Church of Maria
isßome.
Tnhethe . same style, with be style, a
similar gallery above, from which rises a circular
pediment, like those on the Doric pillars, to be orna-
mented with a wreath of laurel and lions'
heads, and surmounted by a statue of Nelson.
The height of the column is to be 160 feet, the statue,
IVlpoaseg' dgiCor.lei'imant
&c. 31 feet, making the total height 191, about
ten feet lower than the monument on Fish-street-
hill. The only objection to a pillar of the Corin-
thian order, is the great extent of the gallery over
the capital, which, in that at Rome, though not
more than half the height, appears at first
sight heavy and cumbersome. But, at all
events, if there is to be a pillar, let us have
some variety and not the
, monotonous Doric
which meets the eye in almost capital of Eu-
rope. Some
wiseacre,
it
appears, had written a
letter to the Chairman, in which he suggested that
it would be hazardous, nay, impossible, to erect a
column of that height with a perforated shaft, to
whom Mr. CRoKER, on the spur of the moment,
gave this felicitous answer—.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
FEB. 26.—Arrived for orders the brig Science, Row-
lands, with coffee and passengers from the Cape of
Good Hope in 59 days. Two men, one woman, and
one child came home in her, who, with 73 others, were
wrecked in the Dunlop, in Table Bay, on the 24th of
November last.-27th, sailed for London.
FEB. 27.—Arrived, and came into harbour to dis-
charge, the American bark Leda, Captain Bochner,
from this port to New York, with hides, discharged here
from the Brazil packet ; she sailed on the 18th inst.,
and had been out but two days, when she sprung a leak,
which continued increasing, till in crossing the Buy of
Biscay she made so much water that they were obliged
to bear up and run back. They saw the Dutch East
Indianian Jacob Cats (also from this port), off Ushant,
on Thursday last.
The Harmony, which was on shore near Brook, was
got off last night, and towed into this harbour to-day.
The barges sent round on Sunday, to endeavour to save
the cargo, on account of the swell, could not succeed in
ghat object ; and the wind having moderated, and come
more off the land, no time was lost in throwing as much
as possgs?e of the cargo overboard. (About 70 tons
were thus dis(Nrged.) She had washed over the Flat-
ners in on the sand; beach, and an attempt was made to
heave her off when ligL.tened, which failed, the anchors
sent round not being heavy enough. Another vessel
took others round on Monday
nsht, with which, and
300 fathoms of cable, she was got aflotif. Every assis-
tance was rendered by Captain Sims and the Coaat
Guard. Indeed, had not the wind shifted, nothing
could have saved Ler ; and Captain Abbot, who had
charge of her, is highly praised for his promptness, and
the great exertions he made to get her afloat. The sea
near her yesterday was as smooth as a mill-pond, and
the tide flowed two feet higher than on the night she
struck. It is now blowing fresh from W.N.W.

The petition from the Isle of Wight, praying the
House of Commons to appoint a Committee to inquire
into the working of the Corn laws has been numerously
signed, and in this town by almost the entire adult male
population.

Mr. Wallace paired off against the second read-
ing of the Copyright Bill.
The Royal visit to Drury-lane Theatre, on the
evening before last, was the twelfth paid by the Sovereign
to the patent houses since her Majesty's return to Buck-
ingham Palace, on the Bth of last month, from Brighton,
exclusive of one visit to the Haymarket Theatre.
A matrimonial alliance is announced in the
fashionable circles of the metropolis as about to take place
between Lord Fitzalan and the accomplished and youngest
daughter of Sir Edmund Lyons, our Minister to King
Otho at Athens, Lord Fitzalan is returned to London
from the Continent, to attend his Parliamentary daties.—
Brighton Guardian.
On the 21st instant a superb banquet and ball
were given by R. B. Sheridan, Esq., at Frampton-house,
Dorset, to his numerous tenantry and their friends, in
number nearly 300. The event celebrated was the chris-
tening of his son and heir.

PERTU ELECTION.

(moss A CORRESPONDENT.)
The nomination of p_s_andidate, to represent the city of
Perth, in the room of the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, who has
accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, took place this day, in
front of the County Building°.
The Sheriffappeared On the hustings a little after twelve
o'clock, and haying read the writ, &c., requested to know
if any elector had any candidate to gropose.
Chenie then stecPped fordard and proposed Lau-
renew Oliphant) Esq., of Condie, as a fit and proper per-
son to represent the city of Perth, having formerly had
that distinguished honour. He was seconded by the Lord
Dean of Guild, Mr. Leish.

The Sheriff having then asked if any other candidate
was to be propdsed,
I.l4ilie Robertson, after a short address, stating the
tiumrotas qualifications of the present Lord Provost,
his liberal politics, his business habits, his affable address,
and his assiduous and gratuitous laboura hi behalf of the
community of Perth, nominated David Greig, Esq., Lord
Provost of the city of Perth, as a proper and fit person to
represent the fair city in Parliament, which was received
With long, loud, and continued cheering by the numerous
assemblage in front of the hustings. The nomination was
seccn led by Bailie Johnson, in a neat and appropriate
speech, pointing out the benefits to be derived by the com-
munity from being represented by a gentleman whose in-
ter(' At was so much connected with the trade and commerce
of h country in place of a stranger, whose landed con-
n' eciors were at variance with ti e interests of the manu-
facturing populat!on of this great trading country.
Atter proposing thanks to the Sheriff for his conduct at
the hustings the mectieg diss:Aved, and from the stroeg
feeling in favour of th:: Lord Provost manifested by all
classes and parties there is no doubt of his successful return.
Tne Sheriff announced the polling on Monday next, at
eight o'clock in the morning.

GERMAN PAPERS•

has been received by way of Trieste, which,
VIENNA, AUG. 7.-I—Yesterday and to-day fresh news
according
to all appearances, is considered as highly important.
To-day at noon there was, in consequence, a long con-
sultation in presence of the Emperor, at the conclusion of
which Prince Mctternich went to see the British Ambassa-
dor, Sir F. Lamb, who is confined to his house by illness,
and had a long conference.
The Aulic Councillor, Von Husgar, who is going on
an extraordinary mission to Constantinople, embarked this
morning on board the steam-boat, to proceed down the
Danube to his destination. While there is no Turkish
Ambassador here the business of the Embassy will be con-
ducted by M. Alaurojeny, the Councillor of Legation, who
arrived from London some days ago.
Letters from Syria of the 20th of July announce that the
English and French fleets, consisting of 20 sail, bad
anchored off that island.
AUGSBURG, AUG. 13.—The report given yesterday un-
der the head of Smyrna, July 22, that Hafiz Pacha had
gone over to Ibrahim with 20,000 men, seems to be erro-
neous, as it rests only on the credit of a mercantile letter
from Smyrna, and is not confirmed from any other quarter.
Some letters from Trieste had indeed spoken of it, but as
we have had letters from Constantinople of the 24th for
some days, with which the dates of the 22d from Smyrna
correspond, it cannot be supposed that all the letters from
Constantinople would be silent respecting so important a
piece of intelligence.

EDUCATION IN PRUSSIA

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—It was asserted and repeated in the late debate
on the subject of National Education, that the attempt
to instruct together the children of Protestants and
Catholics in Prussia has been abandoned as impracti-
cable. No•contradiction, so far as I have seen, was
given to this assertion, which may therefore pass in the
world for truth, and yet nothing can be more un-
founded ; the attempt has not been found impracticable,
and the practice of teaching together the children of
Protestants and Catholics is still in operation. Yet
there is a greater show of truth about the case than is
usually found to accompany the assertions of the party
by whom it has been brought forward.
The fact is, that in populous places, where a number
of children of different religious persuasions present
themselves, sufficient to admit of their being advan-
tageously instructed apart, that plan has been adopted,
because of the economy of time and expense which can
thus be realised ; and in Catholic towns where 100
children of Lutheran parents, or in Protestant towns
where that number of Catholic children requira teach-
iag, separate schools have, for the reason here stated,
and for no other, been established ; but in less popu-
lous places, or in places where the less numerous sect
y Y
does not furnish so many as 100 scholars or there-
abouts,persuasions the children of both persuasions are taught
1 together, and I def fttl
one to bring forward proof of
I any evil that has resulted from that course.

EXPLOSION IN A,
P"DER-mi LL.—On Wed-
nesday forenoon, between twelve and one o'clock, an ex-
plosion took place upon the powder works of Sir H.
Bridges, at Ewell. As soon as thetonfusion had in some
degree subsided, it was observed' m.. 4
one portion of the
premises bad been completely destroyed, and three men
who were at work there were very seriously injured, so
much so, indeed, that they are not expected to recover.
The irjury done to the premises is most extensive, and the
boundary-wall is completely destroyed. Two of the in-
jured persons were mill-wrights, who bad come to the pre-
mises for the purpose of making some improvement in the
machines. The explosion was a most terrific one, and its
effects were felt some miles from' the spot. ft is not known
• 4 ...ate the disaster is to be attributed.

CIUNTINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

THE GOLD DUST ROBBERY.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE, on taking his seat on the
Bench, said-with regard to the objections made to the in-
dictment he had consulted Chief Justice Tindal oa the
subject, and that his Lorthhip was of opinion that the case
was of so much importance that all the Judges ought to be
&insulted on- the subject before any decision was pro.
nounced. The case must therefore go to the Jury.

Jury on behalf of Emanuel Moses, and Mr. ADOLPHUS

porter left. . - - ,

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of Irish Oats last week was good, but of every
other article small. ,Fine Wheat was rather dearer, other
kinds of Grain stationary. English Wheat was readily taken
off at Is. per quartor advance on last Monday's terms; other
sorts well maintained previous quotations. For Barley more
money has been demanded. In Beans, Peas, and Oats little is
passing, and rates remain unvaried. Flour continues slack in
sale, except fresh made parcels.

BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—As you are one of the great advocates of railway,
transit, you will do a public service by inducing the Direc-
tors of the above establishment, who, I believe, arc liberal
men, to cause their second class carriages to be inclosed.
1 came by the 12 o'clock train from Birmingham yesterday,
Ind many of the passengers were literally drenched, and
parcels under the seats were saturated. Their partial
coveting is worse than none at all ; for the people trusting
to the top and end covers, go unprovided against the rain ;
the velocity of the train will always cause an ingress of rain,
in an op: t-sided vehicle, in whatever direction the wind
may be. Twenty shillings is no mean fare, and moreover,
the lives of people ought not to be exposed because they
cannot afford to pay thirty shillings for cushions and plate.
glass.
A fellow-traveler, of the fair sex, asked me why the car-
riages were not covered as those of the Manchest'r train
by Welt she had the stifle morning been travelling.
It a Birmingham and Manchester Company can afford
the it customers covers, surely a London and Birmingham
Company can and ought to offer such an accommodation.
You, Mr. Editor, are a friend to the public, and I trust
you will not lay down your pen Cll you have done them the
acceptable service of preserving their lives.
