This Institution is empowered by a Special Act of Parlia-

surance, in their fullest extent, to Policy-holders, and to pre-
sent greater facilities and accommodation than can bo obtained
in other Offices. The decided superiority of its plan, and its
claim to public preference and support, have been proved in-
contestably by its extraordinary and unprecedented success.
Among others, the following important advantages may be
enumerated :

A most economical set of Tables—computed expressly for
the use of this Company, from authentic and complete data,
and presenting the lowest Rates of Assurance that can be of-
fered without compromising the safety of the Institution.
Increasing rates of premium on a new and remarkable plan,
for securing loans or debts, a less immediate payment being
required on a policy for the whole term of life than in any
other office.

Premiums payable either Annually, Half-yearly, or Quar-
erly, in one sum, or in a limited number of payments.
A Board of Directors in attendance daily at Two o'clock.

LIGHTING OF THE METROPOLIS

TURNPIKE ROADS.
PARISH OF TOTTENHAM.

A meeting of the ratepayers within 400 yards on each
side of the turnpike road leading from Stainford-hUI to
Edmonton was held in the Grammar-school at the lEgh-
cross in this parish last evening. Mr. G. E. Shuttle-
worth was unanimously called to the Chair.
The CHAIRMAN briefly described the object for which
they had assembled, and read the requisition, which. had
been prepared by Counsel, the:substance of which he had
put in the form of a resolution.
On a division the numbers were-100 for the lighting,
and 17 against it.

Messr;'. Fowler, Fox, Dean, Boon, W. B. Nunzio *s,
and Thomas Ashwell were then elected inspeetorti ,for
the year.
The CnAirtntAN having produced an estimate of the
probable cost of lighting the 59 lamps heretofore lighted
by the Commissioners of the Turnpike Roads for one
year, and having also stated the probable amount air the
rate for the district in question,
It was moved, seconded, and carried, " That the
amount to be raised should be 3601., which would he
produced by a rate of 41d. in the pound upon houses,
and Id. in the pound upon land."
The CHAIRMAN stated that about 94 small tenemernts
assessed below 101., and producing at the above rate about
17/. per annum, would be met, he had every reasen to
believe, by voluntary payments from gentlemen residing
beyond the limits of the district in question, and which
he had no doubt the inspectors would apply in discharge
of those rates. llence, he observed, that the only ob-
jection raised to. the adoption of the 3d and 4th William
c. 90, would be obviated in a way equally gratifying
to all parties.
Thanks were then unanimously voted to the Chairman
for the very able manner in which he had conducted the
business of the evening.
This was perhaps the largest meeting of influential
persons ever known in this parish. As the Act of Par•
Hameln requires the inspectors to do certain acts, some
days must elapse before the lighting can take place.

animated our Rhenish

during

pro"vTinhcees
ich they reposed
in us during the continuance of the
with the Church, have strengthened difficult relations-

tion which we have ever entertained,e pleasing convic
that the bond which
unites them to our monarchy, and thus to the rest of Ger-
many grows firmer with ever
which they felt y year,
and that the loyal at-
tachmentfor our late father, of blessed
memory, has been transferred to us as a precious inherit-
ance. We have found in the memorials presented to us,
and in the whole proceedings of the diet of this year,
testimony of that spirit, as well as of the serious and
conscientious attention which they have found it to be
to
their duty to devote the welfare of the land. We are,
therefore, confirmed in
i. the pleasing confidence that their
intluenee exerted e
in irit will continue to be a most
beneficial one, andtht that in spirit will continue to be a most
beneficial one, and that in good and in evil times we shall
find in their attachment and
loyalty a firm support. It
gives us especial satisfaction to be able to communicate
to our faithful estates that the
uncertainty which pre-
Val
• led as to the regulation of the diocesan administration
of the sees cf Treves and Cologne, and which kept the
minds of the inhabitants of our Rhenish provinces in
agitation, is now at an end, and that the negotiations
carried on respecting them with the Court of Rome have
led to a fully satisfactory result.
" With respect to the royal propositions, the prayer
that future propositions be not only communicated to
the Committees, but likewise to the several m embers,
previous to the assembly of the Diet, is granted. The re-
porter of these Committees may likewise be named by the
Chairman. It.is left to the chcice of the Diet to make
use of the permission to leave the conclusion of un-

from amongst the members.

i ADMIRAL SIR JOHN WELLS,G.C.B.
This Gallant Naval Officer died on Friday last,
at Belnore, his residence, near Cuckfield, Sus-
sex, at the advanced age of seventy-eight years,
having been in the navy upwards of sixty-five
years, and being, with not more than four ex-
cep tions,the senior Admiral in the British service.
Towards the conclusion of the American war,
Sir John commanded the Raven, of fourteen
(Tuns, at the Leeward Islands, on which station
• n
he had the misfortune to be captured by two
French frigates. He was afterwards appointed
to the Wasp sloop, and cruised with so much
activity against the smugglers as to call forth the
thanks of the Commissioners of Customs, who
sent a sum of money to be distributed among
his officers and crew as a reward for their exer-
tions. His post commission bears date March 1,
1783, from which period we find no mention of
him until the month of October, 1794, when he
commanded the Defence of 74 guns.
Early in 1797, Captain Wells was appointed to
the Lancaster, 64, stationed in the North Sea,
under the orders of the late gallant Lord
Duncan ; and on the memorable 11th October,
in the same year, he most powerfully con-
tributed to the defeat of the Dutch fleet under
Admiral de Winter. The Lancaster on that
occasion had three men killed, and eighteen
wounded; and Captain Wells, fbr his meritorious
conduct, was honoured with a gold medal. He •
afterwards walked in the procession to St. Paul's,
when their late Majesties went to the metropo-
litan church to deposit the various colours taken
from the enemy during the war.
The solemn ceremonies of this day were de-
voted to thanksgiving for the splendid triumphs
that the Almighty had vouchsafed to the fleets
of Britain. It took place on the 19th of De-
cember, 1797, when their Majesties, as stated
above, with all the Royal Family, attended by
the Great Officers of State, and the Members of
• both Houses of Parliament, went in procession,
and returned thanks for the glorious naval vic-
tories obtained by Lord Howe, June 1, 1794 ;
by Admiral Hotham, March 13, 1795 ; by Lord
Bridport, June 23, 1795; by Sir John Jervis,
Feb. 14, 1797 ; and lastly by Admiral Duncan,
Oct. 11, in the same year. The flags of these
actions, as well as the colours of the Dutch fleet
captured by Sir G. H. Elphinstone, Aug. 18,
1796, were carried on this occasion. Fifteen
Flag Officers and twenty-six Captains attended
the procession, and at the end of the first lesson,
entered in two divisions, right and left of the
King's chair, and advancing to the altar there
deposited the trophies of their valour.
Sir John continued to command the Lancaster •
till the month of May, 1799, since which, we
believe, he had not been employed.
His promotion as a flag-officer took place in
the following order :—Rear-Admiral of the Blue.
Nov. 9, 1805; Vice-Admiral, July 31, 1810;' and
Admiral, July 19, 1821. He was nominated an
extra K.C.B. May 20, 1820.
Sir John Wells married, April 29, 1815, Miss
Jane Dealty, of Rottingdean, Sussex.

THEATRICAL.

The Duke of Wellington, accompanied by Lady Burg-
hersh and a party, occupied her Majesty's box at Covent-
garden Theatre last night.
An alarm of fire was raised last night at the Adelphi
Theatre, which occasioned much confusion, the house
being crowded; Mr. Yates, however, came forward and
assured the audience that the alarm was altogether a
false one.
London, England, 1841-11-26

LAW AND POLICE.

At Bow-street Ti;;;tw(; men were brought up
charged with making a disturbance at St. Giles's work-
house. It appeared from the evidence of the parish
officers, both of St. Giles's and the Strand Union, that

applications for relief have, within the last few weeks
been made by such numbers of persons that they find
it quite impossible to comply with the demands. Sixty
or seventy persons, many of them excavators, have ap-
plied in the course of a day.

PINE ARTS.
The Polish Royal and Poniatowski gems, formerly
the property of the Kings of Poland, are now in the
possession of ➢lr. Tyrell of Craven-street. They are in
number 1,200, consisting of a series of heads, single
figures, and groups, cut on sardonyx, calcedony, ame-
thyst, beryl, &c., and beautiful as works of art.
The Luxor obelisk at Paris, is said to be in a dange-
rous state, owing to a fissure at its base, which is daily
increasing.

C9IKMERCIAL REFORM.

On Tuesday last a public dinner, attended by upwards
of 400 gentlemen, was given at Glasgow, in honour of
James Lumsden, Esq., and William Cross, Esq., the
lately elected Liberal Representatives of the City Coun-
cil. Mr. Wallace, the lion. Member for Greenock, de-
livered an excellent speech, remarking that he was now
going into his tenth Parliament, and he had voted uni-
formly for a total abolition of the Corn-laws. But while
they were, no doubt, the master-grievance, the Import
duties were also as baneful, and he concluded expressing
his determination to promote their complete revision.
NAVAL AND IVZILITARY.
The dreadful loss of life and property which has oc-
curred during the heavy gales of the last six weeks upon
the south-eastern coast of England, has led to the pro-
position that the Margate-roads should be formed into
a line of floating breakwaters, commencing at the Long
Nose Point, and extending in a north-westerly and
north-easterly direction the distance of one mile and a
half. The expense would not be more than 50,0001.,
and form a harbour of the first importance.
On Tuesday the Illustrious (72 guns), Capt. Erskine,
with Sir Charles Bagot on board, got under weigh at
Falmouth about two o'clock, and proceeded for America
with a fino breeze. Sir Charles did not land while de-
tained there.

DECLINATION NEEDLE.

Every change in this instrument from one position to
another was by sudden impulses ; after each of these it
was stationary, for intervals varying from 5 sec. to 20 sec.;
then it was forced again to another position, and was
again stationary without the slightest motion ; and so on
successively.
At 3h. 30m. the changes from one position to another
became very decided, but the motions still partook of
the same character ; absolute rest and jerking motion
followed alternately. In 2 sec. or 3 sec. the needle fre-
quently moved through many minutes of arc, and thenone
suddenly became stationary again.
At 3h. 36m. 20sec. F.M., a bold sweep carried the north
end of the needle towards the west 56m. of arc, in
minute of time ; at 3h. 37m. 20 sec. the theodolite react

IRELAND.

DUMAN; Nor. 22.—The simultaneous collection of the
O'Connell tribute in Dublin took plaw yesterday, and
the result shows that there has been a very considerable
augmentation as compared with last`year. In 1840 the
amount was 1,4381, and this year it is 2,0061., showing
an increase in Dublin alone of 568/ The result might
have been very different if the Times had taken to
praising Mr. O'Connell, or even if .it had remained
silent respecting himself and his tribute. Sir Robert
Peel himself might take a useful lesson from the facts I
have mentioned.

EMIGRATION PROJECT OF THE

—_. _...
GOVERNMENT.
It is announced that the Cabinet will bring forward,
on
next Session, au extensive measure of emigration, as
of the means of relieving public distress. We believe e
well-considered system of emigration to be a desirable
measure in an old and.densely-peopled country
has immense colonies : it may, in some degree,which
benefit
the mother-country, and still more the dependency.
may give a population to the latter, and customers to
the former. It is, however, in the first instance, an
expensive and a slowly-operating methods
it cannot be concealed, that ootifr cooulronie
entailed upon us great cost to defend them in war, and
otonobpeolyguarded against in future.
For

from the wilderness, when, if
mighta owee tol obttainritrom
neighbouring countries, they poy
home

gies amidst all the comforts of their nativem me ; and,
by increasing the population and wealth of our own
island, augment its power and its influence in the
world ? Is it not a perfect burlesque on statesmanship,
to banish your people across the globe, because you
won't let them cat European corn at home ? Whilst
bread is sixty per cent. cheaper on the south of the
Straits of Dover than it is on the north, and whilst it is
made permanently so by law, what pretence is there for
talking of emigration ? Open your ports,—receive all
the food that the world can send you,—and then, if it
should prove too little, go in search of it to the islands
of Polynesia or Australasia. But a man might as well
complain of hunger who refuses to open his mouth to
receive food, as a nation complain of excessive numbers
which refuses to receive food for the supply of those
numbers. If a grant of public money should be pro-
posed in aid of emigration, we hope it will be proposed
as an amendment that the money be raised exclusively
by a land-tax, and payable only by the friends of the
Corn-law.—Leeds Mercury.

POST-OFFICE REVENUE IN IRELAND.

The following letter from Mr. F. Murphy, member for
Cork City, to the Secretary of the Committee of Mer-
chants, announces the refusal of the Postmaster-General
to accelerate the rate of travelling of the Dublin and
Cork mail, one of the reasons assigned being the great
and continuing decline of the Post-office revenue in this
country :

" Temple, Nov. 17, 1841.
" Dear Sir—l have had another interview with Lord
Lowther, and I regret to say my miasion has proved un-
successful. Mr. Purcell has risen in his demands, and
whereas he would have been contented last year to make
the proposed acceleration fur a sum of 5001. he now re-
quires what is equivalent to 9001. The Treasury refuse
to give this sum, and they allege among other reasons,
that the returns of the Irish Post-office, during the last
year exhibited a deficiency of 30,0001., which had to be
made good from the department of England ; and this
year presents every prospect of a still greater decrease.
" If the citizens of Curk think there is any other
quarter to which I can apply in order to accomplish
their object, I shall be most happy to obey their com-
mands. I am, dear sir, your faithful servant,
