The above shows a result admitting of advantageous compa-
rison with any other institution for Life Assurance. This rate
of abatement has been declared upon All Members' Assurances
effected during the year 1833 and the early part of 1836, and is
founded upon data justifying the expectation that the same rate
of abatement will be declared, in succession, to every Member
in respect of his sixth and following yearly payments;—or, if
varied, the rate of abatement is expected to be rather increased
than diminished. The new or second Assurance would, after
five years, be entitled to the same rate of abatement as the first
policy ;—the premium thus remitted being equal, if laid out in
a new Assurance, to a bonus of about One-third the amount
of the sum represented by each policy. Any such increase of
the Assurance, if desired, must, however, be subject to the dis-
cretion of the Directors, as in the case of the original Assurance.

P.S.—Lord J. Russell proposes an early tileasure
with reference to the election, and an exposure of tl.c
measure as early as possible would be desirable. You
are no doubt aware that the Central Board of the
Scottish Dissenters have declared against the Measure,
and recommended petitions for the separation of Church
and State as the only remedy against intrusion.

THE LATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER:—Yester-
day (Wednesday) Bowen, the. man accused of shooting and
robbing Mr. Yarworth, underwent a final examination before
the County Magistrates. Miss Grimshaw, the daughter of the
landlord of the inn at which the coach stopped, identified him
as the man who got down with Mr. Yarworth, and left the inn
With him. Two policemen gave evidence of facts confirmatory
of the prisoner having been in the neighbourhood at the time
of the robbery. A surgeon who had abstracted one of the
balls from the body of the prosecutor stated that there was
another ball lodged in the back part of the lungs, which would
ultimately cause death. The Magistrates then ha.l the prisoner
conveyed to -Mr. Yarworth's bedroom, where the sufferer
identified him by his voice, and several marks which he recog-
nised upon his person. Bowen appeared hardened in the ex-
treme, and with great unconcern refused to ask any questions,
and was fully committed for trial at the present assizes.-- Wor-

This second portion of Mrs. Trollope's most amusing work is at

The Duke de Rovigo (son of Savory) who mar-
ried last summer the accomplished daughter of the late Col.
Stamer, of Carnelly, County Clare, met with a serious aeci
dent about a fortnight since whilst following Mr. Westrop's
hounds in the neighbourhood of Limerick. In taking a wall
the horse stumbled and fell on the Duke, who was taken up
senseless. On examination it was discovered that his bridle
arm was broken and his head much. contused. He is now free
from danger, and is doing well.
THE HIGHLAND SOCIETY OF LONDON.—A
Special General Court of this Corporation was held on Saturday
afternoon, for the purpose of voting addresses of congratula-
tion to. her Majesty and Prince Albert on their marriage, and
to the Duchess of Kent. The Court was but thinly attended.
Henry Longlands, Esq., took the chair, and read the addressest
which, being couched in the .usual terms, were passed withou,
dissent. It was then resolved that his Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex, the Chief of the Corporation, should be re-
queAted to present them at the next levee ; after which a vote
of thanks was passed to the Chairman,and the meeting
separated.

SINGULAR DELUSION.--On Saturday an in-
quest was held at the Lamb, New Turnstile, Holborn, on the
body of Mrs. Stephenson, aged 76. She constantly of late
laboured under the singular delusion that the house was going
to fall down. She came into a witness's room on Wednesday
evening much excited, and exclaimed, " The house is going
to fall down ; for God's sake, Mrs. Emery, make your escape."
On the fol!owing morning (Thursday) the unfortunate woman
was found suspended by a rope to a cupboard docr, and quite
dead. Verdict—Temporary mental derangement.
BRUSSELS, MARCH 7.—Mrs. Fry, Mr, W.
Allen, and Mr. 'Josiah Forster, and Mr. Samuel Gurney, who
accompany her bad, on Thursday, the honour of an audience of
the King, which. lasted about an hour. These respectable
quakers seemed charmed with their conversation with the
King. Mrs. Fry and her friends have visited not only the
prison of Vilvorde but the Bridewell of Ghent, the House of
Confinement et Most, and the Mendicity Depot'at La Cambre.
On Sunday last they visited the prison of BrusAels, and delivered
to the prisoners in each ward Of -the prison an affecting address,
L which made a deep impression. Mr. William Alle.n, while he
was at Ghent, prepared the establishment in that city of a spe-
cial school for the children of' English fcremen and master
workmen, who are very 'numerous there. •
THE SHERIFF.—WC understand that immedi-
ately'on the conclusion of the debate, when the determination
of the House:to allow the Sheriff his liberty temporarily was
known, the Sergeant-at-Arms formally notified the, fact to that
gentleman, and told him that he was at liberty to depart
Sheriff Evans, who had not retired to bed, availed him.self
of
the permission forthwith, and immediately went home.,

TO THE'ED.I7'OR OF THE SUN.
Six—l have seen several notices in your paper re-
specting the' non-intrusion' question, which is niakirim
some noise in Scotland ; and the correctness of your in-
formation on. this subject is a proof of the general accu-
racy of your information on other matters. It contrasts
wonderfully with the statements which occasionally ap-
pear in the Morning Chronicle on this question.
All Scodend",, knows, though the sllosniuss Chronrie/e-
-is thus grossly imposed on, who are the men who
constitttteTthe Nonintrusionists. These men are the
party in the-Church who, after the Reform Bill passed,
Were apprehensive of the growth of the Dissenters, and
commenced the demand of additional endowments and
Church extension, in order to extinguish Dissent.
Happily this was counteracted ; .and now, foreseeing that
Dissent would still increase, from the existence of vs-
aronage, they attempt to delude the people by pro-
posing, not an abolition of patronage, but a mere veto
on the presentation. This has been declared illegal ;
and. these men, exceeding the Catholics in the worst
times of Popery, are setting at defiance the Civil
Courts, because they will not vest all power in the
Ecclesiastical Judicatories.
The whole outcry' has arisen from a.6se men, and I
do not think that one-sixth, of the people have been in-
fluenced by their movements. An appearance of ex-
citement may. be perhaps inferred from their numerous
hole-and-corner meetings ; but every one knows that
the mass of the people take no part in them, and feel
no sympathy in their object.
Then what are the political principles of. ams° meal
Are they Whigs, as the Morning Chronicle seems to
suppose ? Why, they are the most violent Tories whom
we have in Scotland. Not a soul of theta but is en
opponent of_the present Government': 'brands them as
the patrons of Papists, Socialists, and infidels, and takes
part with the 11PGItees and M'Neiles, and other ene-
mies to civil and religious liberty. Their organ is the
Scottish Guardian, the most u:tra-Tory paper in • the
country; and any man whO alleged in Scotland, as the
Morning Chronicle alleges in London, that any one of
these men wits a Liberatin politics, or was a supporter
of the present Government, would be considered fit 'for
Bedlam. At the last general election every one of them
voted for the Tories, and their support of Mr. Stewart,
in Perthshire, at present is not because they are Libe-
rals, but because they sink their, own avowed politic.l
principles
.in the non-intrusion question, on which they
'have committed themselves, and which they must get
settled in some way or other, to, save their honour,
otherwise they must, if they are honest men, leave their
•
livings, a thing which they will struggle to the death to
avoid. This is the real secret of their conduct ; and
for this they are sacrificing every political principle
which they hate avowed and acted on till this moment.
Brit there ii;unother 'class of Tories--the moderates
in the Church—who may be called the Tories
in opposition to the movement-men, who are the religious
Tories. These political Tories are opposed to the veto ;
they comprise...not only a large minority. of the ASS.ern-
bly, but the great body of the Tory laymen, nod they
possess 'all...the influence of the Tory party in Scotland.
The Morning Chronicle, hearing of this, no doubt sup-
posed that . the. non-intrusionists to whom they are
opposed, must naturally , be :Whigs,- forgetting,.. Or. not.
Anowino-, that' 5.6 th of them- are
_cquslly .determined.
Tories, but' iselysdiffering ,on this singleAluestiort. : •
Besides-AAso political Tories, the • whole Liberal
Churchmen are hostile to the eEd, with the exception
of a few Whigs nbout Edintirgh;, who are not far re-
moved in principle trom,the Conservatives themselves;
and the .Dissealsersi;.tof .a ,man,: are also.. opposed Ad it.
Th6y, incleed,carof
alsocion-intrusionists, bat their 11011.•
ild;11Si071 is a 'direct election of the Clergyman by 'the
people theonsetvecrind, conjoined with it, an entire se- 1
partition of- Churoh and. State. They hold that•if the
patron is to bideprived his rights, the people must
bear the burden of paying the Minister; and that, as long
as an Establishment -exiits., it must be controlled by
means .of patronage. Let,- however, a separation. of.
Church and State take place, and then
.we shall-basal
the only legitimate non-intrusion, but without such sepa-
ration, it is not only just, but expedient,: to retain the.
Clergy under control, by keeping things as they are.
Thus, the Dissenters, forming the half of the popu-
lation, and the Liberal Churchmen and political Tories
forming three-fourths of the other half, are all opposed
to the present movement; and, it may he mentioned,
that the whole Newspaper Press of Scotland are against
it, except the Scottish Guardian, and another solitary
Paper, startcl a few weeks ago, on' ths, ground that
there was only onzs Paper in Seotland which supported
the movement.
. What then are the Government to gain by support-
the religiOus Tories ? Will they conciliate themto their
Government? Never,; while they svill lose the support
of the. Ante 'Liberal party in Scotland, and still more
exasperate the, political Tories: What will men think
to find Lordlohn Russell..*neering 'at Thorogood, and
using coercive ureasnres against the Chartists; and yet
patronising tire more criminal -religions Chartists in Scot-
vibb'have'clefied the law, and thus offering them a
*Abe forthcir
,rebellion.- Nothing would inflict a more
deadly. Moist on the Goveariment than such conduct.
Their policy is to keep clear of the question, to let.the
la 4 take its course; and tell the rebellious Clergy to
subinii'to tii&'faity" before they ask the Government' to
interfOei
I may just add; in reference the denial by the.
tlf6rniOg Chronicle of the statement in the Trnics,' that
the Statish Established Clergy are, all TorieS, with
few exceptions; thaithe Times is right, and the Chre.
nide as decidedly avrong. It was stated at the Peel
dinner in Glaillow, that there' were 'only six Whig
Cleromen in the Scottish Church. There may he a
*dozen, but I am confident there are not more ; ani it
will be found that even the Perthshire Tory renegades,
who profess to support Stewart to serve their present pur-
pose, will desert him before the eleCtion, and show their
true, character. Whatever they do, however; they are
Tories.in principle, and will turn against the Whigs on
all other opportunities.
