" It is a volume for the library no less than the drawing-room,
and will afford the readers as much real enjoyment of an intellec-
tual kind as the lover of art will derive from its magnificent engrav-
ings. The fidelity of its illustrations, executed with marvellous
skill, will be recognized by every one who has visited that celebrated
place."—Monthly Chronicle.

Since which period, its further increase has been proportionally
rapid.
Assurances which nay now be opened will rateably participate,
agreeably to the Laws of the Society, in the additions to be declared
at the ensuing Periodical Investigation.
The THIRD PERIODICAL INVESTIGATION takes place
at 31st December instant, when ADDITIONS by way of BONUS
will be DECLARED to ALL ASSURANCES OPENED PRE-
VIOUS TO THAT DATE, in terms of, and under the Limita-
tions contained in the Articles of Constitution and Laws of the
Society.
These additions, when declared, are added to and incorporated
with the original Assurances, and all future additions, whether re-
trospectively or prospectively, are computed, not on the original,
but on the accumulated amount of the Assurance. As it is pro-
balsle that on this, as on former similar occasions, the desire to par-
ticipate in these benefits will very largely increase the number of
proposals for Assurance which will be made to the Society previous
to the closing of the books for the current year, it will greatly fa-
cilitate the duties of the officers of the Society, and at the various
Brandies throughout the country, that parties intending to propose
Assurance do se with as little delay as possible, in order to prevent
tie inconvenience which the delaying of them till the latest possible
moment at which they can be received or carried through, con-
sistently with the Society's regulations, has given rise to en former
occasions.

THE AUTUMN OF LIFE.—" A phrase
fraught with meaning, and suggesting the gravest reflections
—brining in review the elasticity of youth and vigorous manhood as con-
trasted with the sober bearing of declining years : yet if the progress of
medical and chemical science can obviate one of these symptoms, and stay
in a manner the swift hand of time, such results must change the current
of sad reflection, and be productive of the h ghe-t gratification.

The Deputies will assemble on the 16th inst. to nomi-
nate the Members who, with the President, from seniority
of age, are to form the grand deputation for receiving the
King on the 17th. The labours of the two Chambers
will commence on the 18th, and the election of the Pre-
sident of the Chamber of Deputies will probably be post-
poned till the day following. It is scarcely possible that

The Memorial Bordelais states that a courier of the
French Embassy passed through Bordeaux on Sunday
last, on his way to Madrid, with the reply of the French
Cabinet to the diplomatic communication despatched by
the Duke de Frias by estafette on the 1 lth ult., demand-
ing an intervention. "It is believed," says this paper,
" that the French Government entertains no disposition to
give a greater degree of extension to the measures already
adopted in conformity with the Quadruple Treaty, and that
consequently the application made by Spain is refused."
The brig,kriable Jenny, of Nantes, bound homewards
from St. Domingo, with a cargo of colonial produce, was
driven on shore at Cante, on the coast of Brittany, on the
night of the 27t1, ult., and went to pieces next morning.
Out of seven passengers and eleven men, six of. the crew
only were saved. Among the passengers drowned was the
widow of a French medical man at St. Domingo, murdered
during the late disturbances in the island. who was re-
'turning to France with a little child. This unhappy
woman remained on the deck of the vessel with the infant
in her arms, crying for assistance from ten at night, when
the ship struck, till three in the morning, when it sunk ;
but it was impossible to give her any assistance.

COPY OF COMMERCIAL TREATY
BETWEEN ENGLAND AND THE OTTOMAN
PORTE, CONCLUDED AUGUST 16, 1638.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 17.—The ratifications of the
new commercial treaty between England and the Ottoman
Porte having been yesterday exchanged in due form by
Lord Ponsonby and the Turkish Plenipotentiaries at the
Kiosk of Kalendar, on the Bosphorus, I am now enabled
to forward you a verbatim copy of it.

The Dublin Evening Post of Thursday states that his
Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland was to leave
Kingston for England on the morrow (Friday.)
O'CONNELL ENTERTAINMENTS.-Mr. O'Connell dined
last Monday with the Rev. Dr. Keating, who had a large
party to meet the Hon. Gentleman, amongst whom were the
county Members. On Tuesday his Lordship had a public
breakfast, at which were the principal inhabitants, and Mr.
O'Connell received an address from the trades (presented
by the Chairman) adopted at a very numerous meeting.
In his reply he dwelt particularly on the evil results to
which trade in general was exposed by the baneful effects
of combination. Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by his
Lordship, then proceeded to a large platform, which was
erected on the old Abbey grounds. No other place could
contain the vast multitude, which congregated to attend a
meeting for the further enrolment of Precursors, and to
petition for Vote by Ballot, extinction of Tithes, and Cor-
porate Reform. The Hon. Gentleman was accompanied
by the thousands who were present, several miles along the
road. To a question put this day to the Liberator by
Mr. Whitey, a Precursor, Mr. O'Connell said that no pur-
chaser at tithe sales should or ought to be admitted into
the society of Precursors. ' This answer was in accordance
with the sixth rule of the Society.

On the morning of the 4th inst. Mr. O'Connell was en-
tertained at a public breakfast in Enniscorthy.
An address to Mr. O'Connell was read by Mr. Doyle.
Our report states that " when Mr. Doyle had concluded,
Mr. O'Connell intimated that he would address the people
on reaching the town. The procession then proceeded,
and nothing coal(' present a more imposing aspect. There
were at least 9.0,000 persons present." The Hon. and
Learned Gentleman spoke at some length, anal was, of
course, loudly cheered during his speech.

On Wednesday, as one of the Brighton coaches
was on its journey near Kennington-gate, the axletree broke,
but from the skill of the driver the vehicle was prevented
from overturning. None of the passengers were injured,
and another coach having been procured, resumed their
journey.

CoRN-LAWS.—In Mr. Wallace's recent address to
his constituents he said he was sorry that the people
showed such an apathy on this important. question last year,
and, as statistics were better for conveying information, he
would give some extracts from Parliamentary documents
that he considered would be of importance at the present
time, when the price of food for man was so high, and
likely to continue so for nioAths to come. In favour of a
repeal of the Corn-laws there were only fifty-nine petitions ;
and when the question of allowing bonded grain to be
ground was proposed, and as that would affect the Corn-
laws, he was ashamed to say that only seventeen petitions
were presented in favour of it, while the landed interest
sent in seventy-nine against it. These statistics show the
necessity of the people coming forward and petitioning for
a repeal of these laws."
THE LATE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.—
Desire Rouselle the man charged with having attempted
to assassinate the Duke of Normandy, was yesterday
brought up at Union Hall, and discharged from custody,
the " Duke" declining to prosecute. A correspondence of
some length relative to the affair was laid before the Ma.
gistrates, but did not throw any light upon the transaction,
further than that it showed that certain parties had accused
the " Duke" of shooting himself for the purpose of crea-
ting a sensation in this country and in France. The
" Duke" returned his thanks to the Magistrates in a
written communication for the attention they had given to

" IMPORT TRADE,
" Art 1. All articles being the growth, produce, or
manufacture of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, and its dependencies, and all merchandise of what-
soever description embarked in British vessels, and being
the property of British subjects, or being brought overland
from other countries by the same, shall be admitted as
heretofore into all parts of the Ottoman dominions,
without exception, on the payment of 3 per cent. duty,
calculated upon the value of such articles. And in lieu
of all other and interior duties, whether levied on the pur-
chaser or the seller, to which these articles are at pre-
sent subject, it is agreed that the importer, after receiv-
ing his goods, shall pay, if he sells them at the place of
reception, or if he sends them thence to be sold elsewhere,
in the interior of the Turkish Empire, one fixed duty of 2
per cent., after which such goods may be sold and re-sold
in the interior, or exported without any further duty being
levied or demanded on them. But all goods that have
paid the 3 per cent. import duty at one port, shall be sent
to another free of any further duty ; and it is only when
sold there or transmitted thence into the interior, that the
second duty shall be paid. It is always understood that
her Majesty's Government do not pretend, either by this
article or any other in the present treaty, to stipulate for
more than the plain and fair construction of the terms em-
ployed, nor to preclude in any manner the Ottoman Go-
vernment from the exercise of its rights of internal admi-
nistration where the exercise of those rights does not evi-
dently infringe upon the privileges recorded by ancient
treaties, or the present treaty, to British merchandise or
British subjects.
6' Art. 2. All foreign goods hi ought to Turkey from other
countries shall be freely purchased and traded in, in any
manner, by the subjects of her Britannic Majesty, or the
agents of the same, at any place in the Ottoman dominions ;
and if such foreign goods shall have paid no other duty
than the duty paid on importation, then the British subject
or his agent shall be able to purchase such foreign goods
on paying the extra duty of 2 per cent., which he will have
to pay on the sale of his own imported goods, or on their
transmission for sale into the interior, and after such
foreign goods shall be resold in the interior, or exported
without further duty; or should such foreign goods have
already paid the amount of 2 per cent. (i.e., the import
and interior duty), then they shall be purchased by the
British subject or his agent, and afterwards resold or ex-
ported without being ever submitted to any further duty.
" Art. 3. No charge whatever shall be made on Britsh
goods (such being the growth, produce, or manufacture of
the United Kingdom and its dependencies, or the growth,
produce, or manufacture of any foreign country and charged
in British vessels and belonging to British subjects) passing
through the straits of the Dardanelles, of the Bosphorus,
and of the Black Sea, whether such goods shall pass
through those straits in the ships that brought them, or are
transhipped in those straits, or destined to be sold else-
where, or landed with a view to their being transferred to
other vessels, and to proceed on their voyage within a rea-
sonable time. All merchandise imported into Turkey for
the purpose of being transmitted to other countries, or
which, remaining in the hands of the importer, shall be
transmitted by him for sale to other countries, shall only
pay the duty of 3 per cent. paid on importation, and no
other duty whatever.

"INTERNAL TRADE AND TURKEY PRODUCE.
" Art. 1. All rights, privileges, and immunities which
have been conferred on the subjects or ships of Great Bri-
tain by existing capitulations and treaties are confirmed
now and for ever, except in as far as they may be now spe-
cifically altered by the present convention ; and it is more-
over expressly stipulated, that all rights, privileges, and im-
munities which the Sublime Porte now grant or may here-
after grant to the ships and subjects of any other foreign
power, or which it may suffer the ships or subjects of any
other foreign power to exercise and enjoy, shall be equally
granted to and exercised and enjoyed by the subjects and
ships of Great Britain.
" Art. 2. The subjects of ber Britannic Majesty, or
their agents, shall be permitted to purchase at all places in
the Ottoman dominions, whether for the purpose of internal
trade or export, all articles, without any exception what-
ever, being the produce, growth, or manufacture of the said
dominions ; and the Sublime Porte formally engages to
abolish all monopolies of agricultural produce, or of any
other articles whatever, as well as all permits from local
governors, either for the purchase of any article, or for its
removal from one place to another when purchased ; and
any attempt to compel the subjects of her Britannic Ma-
jesty to receive such permits from the local governors shall
he considered as en infraction of the treaty, and the Sub.
lime Porte shall immediately punish with severity any vizir
or other officer who shall have been guilty of such miscon-
duct, and render full justice to British subjects for all in-
juries and losses which they may duly prove themselves to
have suffered.

" Art. 3. If any article of Turkish produce, growth, or
manufacture be purchased by the British merchant or his
agents for the purpose of selling the same for the internal
consumption of Turkey, the British merchant shall pay at
the purchase and sale of such article, or in any manner of
trade therein, the same duties that are paid in similar cir-
cumstances by the most favoured classes of Turkish sub-
jects engaged in the internal trade of Turkey, whether
Musselmans or Rayalis.
" Art. 4. If any article of Turkish produce, growth, or
manufacture be purchased for exportation, the same shall
be conveyed by the British merchant or his agent, free of
any kind of charge or duty whatever, to a convenient place
of shipment, on its entry into which it shall be liable to one
fixed duty of nine per cent., ad valorem, in lieu of all other
internal duties. Subsequently, on exportation, the duty of
three per cent. established and existing at present shall be
paid. But all articles bought in the shipping port for ex-
portation, and which have already paid the interior duty on
entering into the same, will only pay the three per cent.
export duty.
" Art. 5. The regulations under which firmans are issued
to British merchant vessels for passing the Dardanelles
and the Bosphorus shall be so framed as to occasion the
vessels the least possible delay.
" Art. 6. It is agreed by the Turkish Government that
the regulations establiAled by the present convention shall.
be general throughout the Turkish empire, whether
Turkey in Europe or Turkey in Asia, in Egypt, otherm African possessions belonging to the Sublime Porte,
de, and
shall be applicable to all the subjects, whatever their -
scription, of the Ottoman dominions ; and the Turkish
