SCOTTISH WIDOWS' FUND LIFE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

Founded A.D. 1815.
Constituted by Act of Parliament.
PRESIDYNT.
The Right Hon. the EARL of ROSERERRY, K.T.

The Society i; founded on the principles of Mutual Contribution;
or, in other words, on the principle of appropriating the whole Profits
to the Assured.

The average amount of Insurances effected during the last twelve
years has been upwards of Half a Million sterling annually.
The Capital accumulated and invested now amounts to upwards of
1,070,0:01., and the Annual Revenue to upwards of 300,0001.
The Bonus Additions declared at the last periodical investigation
in December, 1845, were in the case of the older Policies and on the
Original Sums insured, as follows :—The Retrospective Bonus up-
wards of 3 per cent. per annum, and the contin:;ent Perspective
Bonus upwards of three and a half per cent. per annum.
The proportion of the Profits allocated to each Member, may be
applied in any of the following ways, viz.:—
By Additions to the Original Sum Insured.
By en Immediate Payment of its Value in Money,—or
By an Equivalent Deduction from the future Annual Premiums.
The practical operation of the principles upon which the Society is
established, may be judged of from the fact, that in the event of the
death of a Member in the present year after payment of the yearly
premium,
If insured in any of the years from 1915 to 1819, for
every 1,0001. insured his representative would
receive • • •• • • • • •• •• £1,954 3
If insured in 1825 for 1,000!., they would receive .. 1,559 18 10
If insured in 1839 for 1,0301., they would receive .. 1,445 13 G
And so on, proportionally, to the Members insured subsequently to
the year 1830, if the Policies be of five years' endurance.
Proposals completed before the Books are closed for the current
year have the important advantage c f a full year's standing over
those delayed till after that period.
Prospectuses, Forms of Proposal, Tables of Rates, and every in-
formation may be obtained at the Head Office, or at any of the So-
ciety's Agencies.

LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1849.

Such an inquiry as the one adventured upon by Sir
CHARLES NAPIER in the elaborate document pub-
lished in this evening's impression of our journal
cannot, if reasonably conducted, but prove singularly
advantageous. It is none other, in short, than an
investigationinto the state and capacities of the ma-
ritime force of England. Taking the memorable
assertions of two distinguished members of the Le-
gislature as the text of hid argument, our indefati-
gable sea captain endeavours at once to examine the
accuracy or inaccuracy of the statements that the
world might be commanded by a well-manned
navy and a full exchequer, and that a considerable
portion of the national debt has been incurred
by building ships and pulling them to pieces. With-
out concurring with the Admiral in all his positions,
differing indeed with him in many particulars, it is
impossible for us nevertheless to close our eyes to the
many stubborn truths which he has here articulated.
I , An the outset of his argument Sir CHARLES has
_7l4ukted, severally, the opinions of Captain Rous and
cif DEENEY—at the outset of ours we would
clatoce‘ a remark uttered upon the same subject

ITALY.

The Genoa Gazette states from Rome, 28th ult.,
that General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS answers all those
who apply to him for redress, that he cannot meddle
with the acts of the Roman Government, and that the
object of his mission is limited to hastening the return
of the Porn to Rome. The General is anxious to
proceed to Portici as soon as the quarantine regula-
tions will allow him.

The Nazionsle of Florence has advices from Bologna
of the 28th ult. All the professors of the University are
suspended from their functions: many functionaries
have been dismissed, and those who remain in office
do not get their salaries. A letter from Leghorn of
the 29th ult. in the same journal says that refugees
tire constantly flowing in in consequence of the
amnesty. All the political prisoners conaFri6ed in the
amnesty have been released. By a decree of the
GRAND DUKE the Civic Guard of Gavorrano has been
dissolved. The quarantine for ships coming from
Elba is shortly to be taken off.
The accounts from Naples still dwell on the harsh
proceedings of the Government. It is said that a
flying column is moving through the Basilicate,
not to repress brigandage and seize assassins, but
to force the municipal authorities to sign the peti-
tion against the Constitution. The English Ambas-
sador is reported to be on very cold terms with the
Government.

RlVEtt PLATE.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAM.)
By the arrival of the William Peile, in the
Mersey, we have received advices from Buenos
Ayres to the 7th October. They contain no political
news.

The market was glutted with English manufac-
tures, in consequence of numerous arrivals. Produce
was scarce, and shipping very abundant, and many
vessels leaving in ballast for Brazils.

Freights 40s. to 455. per ton for salted hides and
tallow, and 255. for bale goods. Exchange was
quoted at 635. ; doubloons, 210 dolls.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.—The cotton
market at Havre was yesterday somewhat less depressed
tha❑ on Wednesday, but the sales amounted to only 75
bales.

LYCEUM THEATRE. The Beggar's Opera was
revived last night, and cast with attractive Ltrength.
Madame Vestris resumed her old character of Lucy, and
Polly was sustained by Miss Rsinforth, with whom the
management has entered into an engagement. This po-
pular English vocalist, who has not appeared upon the
metropolitan stage for a considerable time, was received
with a welcome that Bhoried she has not bctn forgotten.
She rang with her accustomed ability, and was loudly
encored in the celebrated air " Cease your funning."
Mr. RAfter was the Captain Macheath, and acquitted
himself with respectable effect; and Mr. Harley repro-
duced some pleasant comic scenes As Filch. The house
was well attended.

EXCHANUE.

A considerable supply of bill. arrived by the China
steamer, and the rate opened at Is. 111,but a vory small
amount was obtained at that, for purchasers having come
forward very freely, holders immediately raised their
price to ls. 100., and afterwards to Is. 10d., at the latter
of which rates we believe the bulk of the transactions
for this mail hart) had eticet. The banks and our
principal local drawers have been doing next to no-
thing. Bills on Calcutta ere not in much request, and
we quote 60 days' sight Shroffs' drafts at per cent. dis-
count; 30 days' sight per cent. discount; and sight
per cent. premium.

CALCUTTA.
(From the Bengal Hurkaru of Oct. 22.)
The steamer with the mail of 21th August came in on
the Bth inst. The Express, with London dates to 7th
September, arrived late on the 18th inst.
Political accounts Of qd some prospect of peace in
Europe—and with the assurance of a favourable har-
vest, the low prices of East India produce have not
materially interfered with our export market.
Native holide)s have again interrupted business here;
but in exports there has been a fair amount of acti-
uty. The cheapness of freight has encouraged opera-
tions, and before the last mail c.T.me in there was a rising
tendency in prices.
The supply of sugar begins to fail, and sales have been
made at higher prices. The inquiry for silk has im-
proved, but the holidays have delayed operations.
Corahs remain in good demand. Saltpetre is in active
inquiry. In rice there is more doing for England. Jute
is being shipped very largely.
From the want of stock of opium, quotations are quite
nominal. 1,025 rs.forPatna.

The amount of business done in imports has been
satisfactory in extent. Prices have, however, in some
instances again gone lower.
I❑ the demand for Manchester cotton there is no new
feature. Sales of the more useful cloths are large, and
demand runs most on middling and good qualities. The
prices of ordinary fabrics :tie mostly very low.
The inquiry for Gla:;gow light cottons is maintained.
Mule twist has teen sold to a fair extent, and the
chief alteration to report is a sudden and consider Able
fall in the prices of tt.e high numbers 80 to 100.
Metals have ag..lin declined i❑ value. Copper is again

AUSTRIA.

The _Lloyds of the 28th of November has a long
article on the threatened military intervention of
Austria, should Prussia persist in convoking the
Federal Diet. The article thus concludes :—" So
much is certain that extreme necessity alone would
induce Austria to resort to the extreme measures of
that threat. We can, however, state from an authentic
source, that Austria regards the German Federal Con-
stitution as immutably fixed by law, and fears the
eventuality of conflicts which opposition might create
between it and the idea of the federal state (Bundes•
Staats Idee). In this sense a note was addressed to
M. VON PRoxEscu on the 12th of this month,
and explanations of that kind had probably been
already made to the Berlin Cabinet. It is obvious
that in proportion as the project of the Bundes-
Staat approaches its realisation, a stronger emphasis
will be here laid on the just and chartered rights of
Austria."

an early call will be duly appreciated, whilst the proprietors will
spare no exertion or expense in producing for the inhabitants of

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

A m-Berate surply of English Wheat has come to
hand this week, coastwise. By land carriage and samples
the receipts have been small. To-day the sti.,nds were
scantily supplied with all kinds of Wheat, of home pro-
duce, the general condition of which was damp, arising
from the humid state of the atmosphere. All descrip-
tions were very dull in sale, at prices barely equal to
those obtained on Monthly. Upwards of 17,000 quar-
ters of Foreign Wheat have reached us, chiefly from the
Baltic. A modern e bu,iness was transacted in the
first qualities, at the late decline. The middling and
inferi.,r kinds were heavy, and somewhat lower to pur-
chase. The show of English and Foreign Barley, -espe-
cially that of the latter, was good. The demand for
that grain was very dull, at barely stationary prices.
Malt was in moderate supply , and dull inquiry, at un-
altered currencies. Very fine home-grown Oats were on
offer. The supply of foreign was good. The trade was
I dull, at Monday's quotations. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn,
and Flour, as last :advised.

ESIYIETIZZ'XIMD.

Our market to•duy was very moderately supplied with
Beasts, both as to number and quality. Although the
attendance of buyers was small, nearly the whole of the
supply was disposed of, at prices about equal to these
obtained on Monday, the best Scots pre ducing 3s 10d
per 81bs. The number of Sheep was limited, and chiefly
the refuse of last day. All kinds ruled dull in the ex-
treme, at barely the late decline in the quotations. The
highest general top figure for old Downs was 4s per
Sibs. Calves, the supply of which was small, were very
dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Owing to
the large arrivals of Irish carcases up to Newgate and
Leadenhall, the Pork trade was I envy, at barely late
rates. Mitch Cows moved off heavily, at from 141 to Ifil
each, including their small calf.

FRANCE.

The promotion of Jerome Bonaparte, the oldest
general officer in the army, to the dignity of Marshal
of France, is considered highly probable.
The President of the Republic drove along the
Boulevards on Sunday morning, exactly at a quarter
to nine o'clock, accompanied by the Minister of Public
Works aed his orderly officers, and attended by a
troop of Cuirassiers, on his way to the Paris and
Lyons Railroad station. He proceeds to inaugurate
the section at Sens. He was received, as he passed
along the Boulevards, with the greatest respect, the
people of every clale taking off their hats and salut-
ing him.
Great preparations were made to receive him, and
the town of Sens will entertain him at a banquet to
which 150 persons have been invited.
The Moniteur, in a communicated article, declares
that it is false that the propositions of the French
Gov( rtunent have been rej.'cted at the conference of
Gaeta, as some journals had stated.
The Conditutionnel publishes a dispatch addressed
by Count Nesselrode to the Russian Minister at Paris,
as well as to all other Russian Ministers abroad, an-
nouncing that as the task of the Russian troops is
concluded by the pacification of Hungary, they will
be withdrawn from that territory and re-enter the
Russian frontiers.

The Archbishop of Toulouse has publishei the
following letter in the Anti de la Religion, censuring
severely M. Duguerry, cure of the Madeleine, for the
part he took in the proceedings of the Peace Congress,
and fur the expressions he made use of in his
speech, namely, that the Gospel was nothing more
than human reason restored and extended :
" Toulouse, Sept. 2.
" Sir,—Tbe proceedings in the Peace Congress at
Paris, and the part acted on the occasion by members
of the clergy, have deeply t,filicted we. I believe my
colleagues in: the episcupaey,
must have experienceda
eiroilar feeling. Bat are we to con tine
ourselves to deploring that participation, and
can we allow what was done and said there
to pats Gr.T, without eny protest ? Can we,
for instance, hslp censuring the assertion put forward by
one of the first parish priests of the capital, 6 that the
Gospel is only human reason restored and extended?'
What is then to become of. positive revealed facts? I
appeal against such an assertion to all enlightened
clergymen, to the whole episcopacy, and, in particuler,
to the Supreme Chief of the Catholic Church, the suc-
cessor of him to whom Jesus Christ said,—"Et to
aliquando conversus confiima fratres tuos." I re-
quest you, Sir, to insert this letter in the next number
of the Anti de la Religion. I can have no rest until
the publication of my protest; and it is in your journal
it should naturally appear."

THE SON,

and there are kind feelings raised by time, which I
was delighted to find had made their way on the
present occasion. And, finding myself here at a
social board with the Noble Duke, his most humble
admirer on the present occasion, I do admire the
effect of time which has brought us thus mutually
here before you, a united body of our countrymen.—
(Loud cheers.) There is no victory but the victory
of truth. Time has taught it to us. And lam most
grateful to the Noble Duke for having had the
courage and manliness to say that time has taught the
lesson which we are all glad to have learned.—
(Cheers.) Sir, I acknowledge that I am one who
have great faith in the people. I dare say I differ from
many in that feeling ; but, I believe the longer we
live the more we know of each other in the various re-
lations of life, the more we shall be brought to that
kindly sentiment which the Noble Duke has expressed
on the present occasion, and that it will extend not
only to this social ball, but wide abroad, and that we
shall continue what we are now, a united and peaceful
people, because, as the Noble Earl most significantly
suggested, there are causes which have made peace,
the cause being that there is a sentiment in the great
people of whom my Hon. Friend and I are the legiti-
mate representatives—(Cheers)—which has been
answered—providentially answered, for that was the
Noble Earl's suggestion. There has been a providen-
tial answer to their claims, their rising desires, their
increasing knowledge. These have found their way
into the Government of the country, of which he
and I point to him with honour and respect—has
always been a most fearless and firm supporter.—
(Cheers.) lam not in the habit of paying compli-
ments, but I feel that to be due on the present occa-
sion. The suggestion was made by the Noble Earl,
I being here as the representative of a newly-created
borough, and my Hon. Friend being here who has,
from the first, represented you, and I here for the
first time. Still, bear in mind that you are a newly-
created borough, and I, the most humble of your
representatives, and the most zealous I intend to be,
return you my hearty thanks. lam proud that the
providence of the Government of this country has
enabled you, however unworthily, to be represented.
—(Cheers.) Mr. Roebuck concluded by proposing
the " Health of the Lady of the Master Cutler."
The MASTER CUTLER replied ; and
After several other toasts had been proposed and
duly acknowledged, the company broke up.

THE BRZEMAR GATHERING.

BALLATIR, Fairumr.—This highland fete, which
takes place annually, under the patronage of the Duke
of Leeds, General Sir A. Duff, and Mr. Farquharson,
of Invercauld, came off at Brmmar Castle, on Thurs-
day, with great eclat. Her Majesty was present.
No sooner had the royal party arrived than the games
were begun. The throwing of the heavy hammer
commenced the proceedings. The first man who
stepped forward succeeded in making an extraordinary
cast, which none of the other competitors managed
to equal. He was, of course, declared the victor.
The hill race came next, and was the most exciting
spectacle of the day, at least it had most attention
bestowed on it. The total distance ran over was
between 700 and 800 yards. A part of this was
over the level holm, where an amazing degree of
celerity was shown ; but the winning-post was a
flag placed on the summit of a hill that overlooks the
castle at an elevation of some 300 feet, the only
accessible path being right up the side of the emi-
nence, which seems next thing to perpendicular, part
of it being wooded as well. Here there was no
running—the competitors seemed content to crawl on
all fours. Donald M.Donald, a carpenter, was the
first to reach the top. The time spent in getting
there was 6i minutes. The knowledge of that cir-
cumstance has to be ascribed to Lord John Russell.,
After the start there was some disappointment ex-
pressed that no one had attended to noting the time.
The Noble Premier relieved the prevalent uneasiness
by communicating the information that he was looking
at his watch for that purpose—an announcement
which caused some hilarity and surprise. Dancing
came next. Her Majesty, and those around her,
repaired to the interior of the castle, where a number
of light-heeled and nimble individuals exhibited their
powers to the evident gratification of the party around.

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—It is worthy of men-
tion that the late Mr. Justice Coltman' at the time of
his death, held 20,000/. of stock in the Great Northern
line, 16,000/. of which was paid up. In his will he ex-
pressed a wish that this investment should be continued,
and that the remaining 4,0001. should;be paid up. This
circumstance strongly indicates that the lamented gen-
tleman had great confidence in the ultimate success of
the undertaking.—Herapath's Journal.
LIVERPOOL, SEPT. B.—At noon to day the steam-
ship Cambria, Captain Shannon, departed from the

MARYLEB ONE.

On Saturday, just as the sitting magistrate, Mr.
Long, was about to leave the bench, a middle aged
woman named Catherine Fox, was brought up in the
custody of Dafter, an active officer, 34G A, charged
with having stolen a Cashmere shawl, value nearly
1001., the property of Lady Macnaghten, Surrey-
house, Hyde•park.
It appeared from the evidence that on the I7th of
July the prisoner made application at the' house for
the situation of cook, and had an interview with Mrs.
Yates, her ladyship's sister. She left with an under•
standing that she was to call again in the course of
the same evening, but she neglected to do so ; and
shortly after her departure the valuable shawl alluded
to was missed from the drawing-room. Information
of the robbery
was promptly communicated to the
Superintendent Hughes, who placed the case in the
hands of Dafter, by whom the prisoner was ultimately
captured in Bell-court, Gray's-ion-lane. It was
further shown, that the prisoner had occupied an
apartment at the house of Mrs. Field, East-street,
Manchester-square, and that, in addition to her
leaving without
Paying any rent, she stole various
articles belonging to her (the landlady).
The prisoner, on being asked what she had to say,
replied that she was quite innocent.
The officer was of opinion that he should be able
in a few days
afford time for him to effect that object, the pri-
to trace the property, and, in order to
Boner was remanded for re-examination until Thurs-
day next.

Luke street, Finsbury, having been apprised that her
brother in-law' who had already lost one member of
his family bythe
cholera, and was then lying in a hopeless state at his
same disease had been attacked by
,
lodgings in Old Nichobstreet, Bethnal-green, she
immediately hastened there on the preceding morning
to render him assistance, as she knew that he was not
in possession of sufficient means to procure it for
himself. Upon entering her brother's room, which
she found had been shunned by all the other inmates
of the house, she was accosted by the prisoner, and
upon expressing her surprise at finding her there, as
she was an entire stranger to her and she believed also
to her brother, the prisoner accounted for it by saying
that she had accidentally heard of the sick man's
shocking condition, and, as he did not appear to have
any relatives about him, she pitied his forlorn state,
and had determined to remain with him until some
of his near connexions had been informed of his
calamity. The witness gratefully thanked the pri-
soner for her disinterested kindness, and quitted the
room for a few minutes, leaving her there, but on

HUN GARY.

The late rumours of M. Kossuth having made his
escape to Constantinopie are confirmed by the last
German papers, which, however, do not give any
particulars of the date and manner of his flight.'
From the news contained in the German papers, it
appears that the garrison of Comorn are resolved to
hold the fortress against the Austrian armies. That
garrison amounts to 20,000 men, and further levies
are still being pressed from the neighbouring districts.
The fortress is victualled for many months.

It is expected that the Bavarian Chambers will be

from 8,000 men to 5,000.

Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. Marshal RADETSKI
arrived at Venice on the 28th, with Archduke
SIGISMUND. After reviewing the troops on the
square of St. Marco, the Marshal and his suite entered

evening.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 4th contains a
detailed account of the funeral ceremony, celebrated
on the 3d by the municipality of Turin, in memory
of the late CHARLES ALBERT, in the church of the
Holy Virgin. The whole of the interior was hung
with suitable tapestry of great richness, mingled
with the Italian national colours. A splendid ceno-
taph occupied the centre, consisting of eight columns
supporting a cupola, under which was seen Italy
kneeling before the funeral urn, and weeping over
her champion. All the members of the diplomatic
body, the municipality, a great number of civil and
military personages of distinction, and the flower of
the citizens of Turin of either sex, were present at
the ceremony.

On the very day HAYNAU entered Pesth, namely,
the 30th ultimo, there was a military execution—
GEORG FULOP, notary of Danavese, being shot for
participating in the insurrection. Shortly after-
wards KOSSUTH'S notes to the amount of 142,071
florins were burned by the public hangman. The whole
nominal value of these papers already destroyed at
Pesth is stated to be 1,473,043 florins.
As a bitter sarcasm on the treason of GEORGE; a
band of music preceded HAYNAU on his entrance into
Buda-Pesth, playing the "People's Hymn."
Executions or preparations for executions are still
proceeding at Temeswar.
On the 4th instant the armistice of Comorn would
expire, but nothing could be learnt as to the decision
of KLAPIA. In the event of his still refusing to
yield, the fortress is simultaneously to be bombarded
by NUGENT and GRADER.

General Baron WOIILQEMUTH has issued a procla-

The fate of KOSSUTH and the other leaders who fled

Kalafat, KOSSUTH and his partisans had proceeded to
Constantinople.
There were rumours on the Exchange at Vienna,
just before the last intelligence left, that the garrison

of Comorn had made a sally, bat with what success
was unknown.

It is now confidently affirmed that the solemn co-
ronation of his Majesty the EMPEROR will take place
this year. His MAJESTY will honour the opening of
the railway from Cilli to Laibach, accompanied by
M. Vox BRUCK, the Minister of Trade and
