The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle m,,rtallty, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PRE NI HIM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be psid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted. whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PA RTN ER • HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retail-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without haying to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.

"TO GENERAL RUDIGF.R.

"General,—You know too well the sad history of my
country that I should need to weary you with the repe-
tition of the dismal chain of events, which involved us
ever deeper in a strugo3 of desperation, first for our legi-
timate liberties, afterwards for our existence. The
better, and, as I believe, the greatest part of the nation
have not sought this strukgle thoughtlessly, but, with
the help of many honourable men, who, although not
belonging to the nation, were, through their relations to
it, drawn into the contest, valiantly, firmly, and victo-
riously maintained their cause. The policy of Europe

AUSTRIA

Letters from Bucharest of the 31st state positively
that Bem has taken refuge in the Turkish territory,
and has been conveyed to Widin with the other
Magyar chiefs. In the same place are to be found,
Count Yamoiski, a Pole, Hell known in England
and France, and MM. Guyon, Herries, and
Pagel ; a great number of Poles, and Italians
rave also found an asylum in the capital
of the Government of Ibrahim Pasha. Austria and
Russia claim these fugitives, and at this moment it is
not known what has been the answer of the Porte;
but Sir Stratford Canning has strongly advised the
Porte not to yield to such a claim, a concession to
which would bring dishonour on its name.
A letter from Constantinople, of the 26th ult.,
addressed to the Independance of Brussels, states,
that in virtue of treaties, the Ottoman Porte is
pound to give up the chiefs of the Hungarian
insurrection on the demand of Russia, but
that she could decline to do so on the demand
of Austria especially, as the latter power refused,
some years ago, to surrender some prisoners who took
part in an insurrection in Bosnia. The letter adds
' that the Porte was determined, if possible, to avoid
giving up the refugees.
The Minister of Finance in Austria has ordered
that, from the 18th, the interdiction on the exporta-
tion of specie, which has existed for 18 months, shall
cease.

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING.
The North American mail steam ship Europa has
arrived with advices from Boston to the 19th instant.
The Hermann arrived at New York on the 15th from
Southampton, and the Hibernia on the 17th from
Liverpool.
The repeated failures to elect a speaker continued
to prevent the organization of the House of Repre-
sentatives ; consequently no President's Message had
been delivered. On the 15th instant the 47th ballot
took place, but, as on each former trial, a suffici-nt
majority could not be obtained to secure election. The
Free Soilers, who hold the balance of power between
the two great leading parties, refuse to vote for a
candidate who is not pledged to their views on the
que'tion of slavery. The contest has produced great
excitement, not only in the contesters, but through-
out the coun'ry. In the progress of the struggle
several remarkable scenes have occurred, arising► out
of the excitement under which many of the members
laboured.
The Senate have announced to the President that
they were ready to proceed to the transaction of
business, so far as was in the sphere of their separate
capacity. The reply of the President stated that a
communication would be made to that body on
Monday, the lrth. This communication does not,
however, appear to have been made on that date.
The coroner's jury in Boston, on the remains of
Dr. Parkman, have rendered their verdict, declaring
that be came to his death by the hand of Professor
'Webster.
We have received papers from Mexico to the 29th
ult. A proposition had been made for Congress to
adjourn on the Ist of December, and passed prepara-
tory readings, but had not been discuss.-d, owing to
the failure of Deputies to attend. It had been very
difficult to get a session of the Chambers, and it was
said that this frequent absence of the Deputies was
intended as a plan to discredit the Republican system.
The Minister of Finance had been authorized by
the two Chambers to negotiate in advance 1,500,000
dollars on the American indemnity due in Hay next.
The discount, it is said, would be 2 per cent.
The reception at New York of the Hungarian
exiles had been most enthusiastic.

" Come my bobby, come along with me
We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth,
Tour naughty dad to see."
And so they do.

KENILWORTH CASTLE
As it appeared on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit.
For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori-
cal fact that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and
' paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there-
fore we pity his fate, but must admirs his wondrous generosity. for
all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore-
stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true lave never
did run smooth," for here.• he meets with some twenty " competi-
tears," and to him they do come " petit oars," for they prove per-
fect bears, or, snore properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel
on a grand scale, a sort of " tiff for the million," takes place, which,
although beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of

in which, after reminding the people of !tome of the
gratitude they owe to the French, and other foreign
troops that had contributed to the pacification of the
country, it is stated that the Municipal Commission
has neglected nothing to procure the foreign troops
every possible comfort, but that the enormous expenses
it has hitherto incurred oblige the Commission to im-
pose new taxes on the citizens for that laudable pur-
pose ; that it has therefore been decreed, with the
consent of the superior authorities, that the land-tax
shall be increased by 1.5 centimes, except on vine-
yards; that wine, vinegar, and beer, shall pay 56
centimes per barrel; brandy, spirits of wine, ram,

:he Assured, and a Bonus is added, after the payment of the Fifth
Animal Premium to every Policy effected on the participating Scale,
if :t claim accrue thereon prior to the next division of profits.

from throe-fourths only of the profits), averaged 16, 31, and 36 per
rent. respectively on the amount of Premiums paid.
The BONUS declared in 1849 (arising from the whole of the pro-
fits), being the result of the operations of the Society during the last
five 3 ears upon the Mutual Principle, averaged 62 per cent. on the
Premiums received.

Premium, will be entitled to participate in the profits to be declared

MONDAY EVENINCII DECEMBER 311 1840

HERE'S " CHRISTMAS 1"

Here's " Christmas"—let us boldly greet him,
We may as well, for none can cheat him;
He will steal on, and ably sprinkle
The first grey hair and first faint %tinkle.
And yet methinks it little matters
What seed of Ruin moss he scatters,
So that amid it we contrive
To keep Truth's Heartsease still alive

Within our breast.
" Christmas," and it seemeth well
That Conscience to our deeds should tell
The just result of all we've done,
And trace the way our sands have run.
Let us peruse the closely-sealed,
The volume ever unrevealed,
And see if we have said or thought
No evil thing that should have brought
Blots on our crest.
The heart is but a ledger sheet
Where Right and Wrong in balance meet,
And well it is that we should see
Full often how " accounts" may be.
Old Christmas has a trick, we find,
Of bringing bills of every kind,
So ere we drain the festive cup
We'll look within, and reckon up
The debts we owe.
Too many of us get so wrapt
In "own dear self," that we are apt
To dwell much more on what our brothers
Should give to us than we to others.
Our grasp is quick to seize and hold
The kindness paid in moral gold;
But Equity, that bids us pass
The same again, oft sees, alas!
Our palms more slow.
Let us not idly shirk the task.
But face ourselves, and boldly a.k
Our conduct whether it has trod
The path of Mammon or of God?
A more important " day-book" lives
Than that which worldly commerce gives,
Some brighter figures must be found
Than those which make the golden round.
Of Profit's dial.

Let us take heed that no arrears
Are due to those whose silent tears
Are calling on us night and day
For debts which Mercy ought to pay;
Let us be sure thut we have heard
The claims of Misery's lowly word,
And that our lips have never driven
The helpless and the spirit riven
• With harsh denial.
Let us think how " accounts" may stand
When the "recording angel's" hand
Adds up our columns—turning then
To the "great book" not kept by men.
No yellow dust will serve to hide
The errors made by selfish pride ;
False items, though on vellum page,
Will never bear the searching gauge.
Of holy sight.
So take good caution how we let
lusion lead us into debt ;
And let old Christmas find us willing
To pay humanity's last shilling.
We'll the log and drain the cup,
But not before we reckon up
The " balance•sheet" that conscience draws,
And God e'er keep by his own laws
Of wrong and right.
ELIZA CooK.

LORD DENMAN.—The statements respecting the
resignatio❑ of his high office by this eminent nobleman
are entirely erroneous. He has not tendered his re-
signation, consequently the question of its acceptance by
the Government—" most reluctantly" or otherwise—has
not arisen. The last accounts received by his family
announce a marked improvement in his Lordship's

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW Youk. DEC. 18.—The failure of the House of
Representatives to elect a Speaker has had a depressing
effect upon the stock.•market, the uncertainty as to the
wants of the Treasury, and course of policy hki ly to be
Pursued by Congress, causing capitalists to retire from
the market.

Government securities and the leading stocks have not,
however, suffered to any extent. as will be seen upon
rch=rence to our quotations :—United States Sixes of
'6B have stood their ground, and closed at the same rate
as noticed by the last steamer.
The non-arrival of the Hibernia until this evening
has diminished the business in foreign exchange. By
this packet the exchange on London is drooping, and
cannot be quoted over 1071 to 1084, the latter paid for
choice bills; on Paris, 5 3u -to 5 2fi; Amsterdam, 40;
Hamburgh, 35 to 35k; Bremen, 78 to 78k.
Cotton—Scles since our last, per Canada, of the 11th
ins.t., amount to 3.225 bales. The business done has
been chi, fly for home use, shippers preferring to wait
the advices of the Hibernia. As yet her accounts have
not transpired, though the telegraph this morning
reports her arrival at Halifax on Saturday, at 10 4.. x.
Prices have been unsettled throughout the week, and
sales effected at a decline of i_c. on the quotations last
advised. Indeed, it is v. ry difficult at the present
moment to give cornet quotations. A decline to to l-
is anticipated by the Hibernia, and also by the steamer
of the 15th inst., consequent on an increased estimate of
the crop advised during November, and the heavy re-
ceipts at the shipping ports. Occasionally extreme esti-
mates-2,300,000 to 2,400,000 bales, are still advised,
but the majority agree on 2,200,000 to 2,250,000 bales.
