Extract of a letter from Mr. John Candler, a Memlw' -

(Before Mr. Justice WlLLtAsis.)
In the course of the day IViliiam Norris, the individual who
stands indi-ted for having committed perjury in the late
election for Bridge-master, in the-tity of London,)was placed at
the bar.

Mr. GURNEY, aldreFsing thepurt, said he appeared on
belia'f of the City of London to prosecute the defendant, but
in consequence of circumstances
,tiptliad occurred, he was in-
structed to apply thafThe defendant Might be allowed to go at
large upon his own recognizance to appear in case he should
be called upon to take his trial. The reason for this course
being taken was, that " the prosecutor believed that the de-
fendant was to some extent an innocent agent in the hands of
others. He had already given important information, and they
had reasons to believe that if the proposed course was adopted,
the more guilty parties would be brought to justice.
'I he COURT granted the application, and the defendant en-
tered in.() his recognizance, and was discharged from custody.

part of the day returned true bills against Michael Shaw

SYRIA.

The Earl of MINTO said, that on the motion for a
vote of thanks in their Lordships' House to the
officers who had served on the coast of Syria,
a clericrl error had occurred, which, for the
satisfaction of the officers concerned, he was anxious to
correct. The name of Sir Charles Frederick Smith was
introduced into the vote instead of that of Sir Charles
Felix Smith. He was the more anxious to correct the
(rror as there was a junior officer of the former name in the
corps. He begged leave to move, therefore, that the vote
should be amended, and the name of Sir Charles Felix
Smith substituted for that %%Inch had been inserted.
The motion was agreed. to.

ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS.
UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO-
CIETY, 1, King William-street, London.
Established 1834.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the
annual premiums of all those policies entitled to partici, ation.
The following table w;11 show the operation of the reduction

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on Indian risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from e•tensive data slid tables,
exclusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true
risk of life during residence in India, and alter retirement from
foreign service.

LONDON
WEDNRSDAY, MARCH 3, 1841.

In the House of Peers last night, the Marquis
of SALISBURY was informed by the Marquis of
NORMANBY that it WAS the intention of the Go-
vernment to lay a Report on the table of the
House of Commons relative to the Turnpike
Acts, and on the reception given to it would de-
pend the measures to be proposed to Parliament
on the subject.

The Earl of DALHOUSIE asked whether the
Earl of ABERDEEN intended to bring forward
this Session any measure similar to the one he
had introduced last Session, in reference to the
Scotch Church.

The Earl of ABERDEEN replied that the same,
and even still stronger reasons than those which
induced him not to press the measure last Ses-
sion, still existed, and would prevent him from
introducing any such Bill this year. The
Noble Lord did suppose, and did reproach
Lord MELBOURNE for not taking the matter in
hand, that it was an easy thing to settle all the
differences of the Scotch Church by an Act of
Parliament. He now found himself mistaken,
and ought to admire the sagacity of Lord MEL-
BOURNE.

On the motion of the Earl of AIL)h‘O a clerical
error was corrected in the vote of thanks to the
Syrian expedition. The name of Sir CHARLES
FREDERICK SMITH had been inserted in the room
of that of Sir CHARLES FELIX SMITH.

Their Lordship's adjourned till Thursday.
In the Commons, after the presentation of pe-
titions,,Mr. EASTIMPE gave notice of a Bill for
The AbOlition of Chtrch-rates on March 10.
The Parish Constables' Bill was postponed till
the 9th instant, and the Medical Reform Bill
from this day till next Wednesday.

COL WHITE received leave of absence till after
Easter. We see other symptoms of a complete
truce between the parties till that period.

Mr. WALLACE moved for a Committee to in-
quire into the ministerial duties of the Sheriffs
Principal of the counties of Scotland, &c., with
a view to improve the Local Courts of Scotland.

The LORD ADVOCATE opposed the motion,
in which he was backed by Sir R. PEEL and the
Tories.

Mr. GILLON, Mr. HUME, and other Liberal
Members supported it. On a division the mo-
tion was rejected by 86 to 37.

Mr. CoLiiinioins moved for leave to bring in
a Bill to alter and amend the Acts of the Irish
Parliament relating to Maynooth, in order
to remove the sanction which the Government,
by those Acts, gave to the College, .without re-
moving which they could not withhold the an-
nual Parliamentary grant to the College. Re
entered at length into the statutes founding the
College, which he described as a subject of alarm
and dissatisfaction to the people of this country.
The lion. Gentleman also entered into the ques-
tion of the religion taught at the College, and
pointed out that those who accepted the POPE'S
Bulls were opposed to the laws. If Mr. CoL-
cwHouN were an angel instead of an ordinary
man, he ought not, for the sake of Ireland and
his own party, to meddle with such a topic.
How would the people of England like that Mr.
O'CoNNELL should move for leave to bring in a
Bill to suppress the University of Oxford, and
appropriate its revenue to manning the fleet ?

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
defer Ted annuity is made, nGt only to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.
1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d.: 3941. I Is. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 4661. at death.
2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,
prispectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at the office of the

hand, that it was an easy thing to settle all the
differences of the Scotch Church by an Act of
Parliament. He now found himself mistaken,
and ought to admire the sagacity of Lord MEL-
BOURNE.

On the motion of the Earl of MINTO a clerical

TURKEY.

(From the Journal de Smyrne of the 9th ult.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. tk.—There was on Thursday, the
4th instant, a conference at the Hotel of the Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs, between the Ambassadors of the Four Powers
and his Excellency Reschid Pacha, who is entirely recovered
frcm his indi.position. Nothing tn.:- spired ts to the motive for
that mi eting, but those is every reason to believe that it re-
ferred to the examination of the definitive comitions which are
to be imposed on Mehemet Ali, in order to e.tablish in Egypt
the basis of a wise and moderate Adm:nis:rat ion, capable, in a
word, of ensuring the prosperity and wed-hr ing of that country.
The ceremony of the Kourtan-Beiram took pace in the :Id
in Sultan Harned's mosque with all the customary p,mp.
3134nificent weather favoured this cer mony, whi.b. attracted,
as usual, a prodigious crowd, and at which were present the
Russian Legation and the Consuls of the Four Allied Posers at
Alexandria, who are at present at Con-ta: tinnple. The fetes
of the Kourban-Beiram lasted frur days.
Allusion has been made for some time past to the measures
which the Government intended to adopt, in r.rdur to prevent
the forgery of paper money, and which. were anxiously expected
by all classes of the population, especially by those engaged in
trade. These measures have just been publi-hcd by means of
the following note addressed to the different Embassies :

"TRANSLATION OF THE MEMORANDUM ADDRESSED TO THE
DIFFERENT EMBASSIES, RELATIVE TO TREASURY BONDS.
" Notwithstanding all the care which has been taken to pre-
vent the forgery of Treasury butt's, is,uett in the shape of cash,
forged rotes have again begun to circulate publicly. As con-
siderable injury must arise therefrom, the Porte, wishing to
suppress that abuse and to prevent the fatal consequences
thereof, under the auspices of his Highness the Sultan, has
declared that the Treasury bonds would be p: intvd in another
form, so as not to admit of their being forged; that the imme-
diate alteration of the notes in circu'ation being difficult., they
would be exchanged f.r rrinted ones is they reached the
Treasury ; that as it is difficult in the provinces to make use of
those bonds and to distinguish the genuine from the forged
outs, which seriously affects the populations, the writtetv or
printed note;, whether o'd or new, would nut circulate in the
shape cf cash but at Constantinople, and that they would be
pai.:l off at the dates they respectively became due ; but that in
the proVirices they would be of no value for the next three
months, to commence from the Ist if Zillildje, 1256 (24th of
Jaluary, 1841.)
" The competent authorities have been informed thereof.
We send the present official memorandum to your Excellency,
as we give one to the representatives, in order that he be in-
-I,rtned of this measure, and communicate it to the merchants
in Turk y —Constantinople, 3 Zilhidje, 1256 (Jan. 26, 1841)."

POEMS. By THE LADY FLORA
HASTINGS.

Edited by her Sister.
" The charm which pervades them arises from their simple
and unaffected beauty, from their expressing the sentiments of
nature in the accents of truth, and from their mingling a pro-
found sensibility, which strikes directly on the imagination
and the heart, with a style in general exquisitely graceful and
melodious. If poetry be, as it has sometimes been defined to be,
music by its sounds, and painting by its images, the volume now
before us is a volume of genuine poetry."—Times, Jan. 25.

THE TURKISH AND EGYPTIAN FLEETS.

Yaver Pacha (Admiral Walker) left Ma•morice on the 4th
in the Alat,moutt, preceded by the other ships of the
Ottoman fleet, reached hisika Bay on the 7th, and anchored
at the Dantanelles on the Bth, on which thy the Tahiri Bahri,.
Ottoman steamer, arrived from Constantinople, bringing new
apparel for the Turkish seamen, in order that. they may, after
shifting their clothes and riding out the established quarantine
from Egypt at Lapsarus, enter the Golden Horn together.
'I he Tahiri Bahri continued her voyage to Alexandria, and
had an Officer of State on board, bearer of the firmsn con-
firming ujon his Highness Mehemet Ali the hereditary Pa-
chate of Egypt.
By the last accounts from Alexandria we learn that two fri-
gates, two corvettes, five tran-ports. and steamers have been
despatched to Gaza to convey to Alexandria the women and
baggage of the army under Ibrahim Pacha ; and a corvette and
a brig of war have been despatched to Candia to withdraw
troops from thence.— Malta Papers.

SPLENDID CHRISTMAS NOVELTIES.

Monday, Dec. '27, and every evening during the week, Mr.
JACOBS, the ROYAL VENTRILOQUIST and GREAT
MODERN MAGICIAN, whose performances during the
last tlro seasons created a great sensation, will, for a third time,
have the hor.our of submitting to the public his unrivalled and
truly pleasing performances. His NECROMANTIC TEM-
PLE will be found superior in every respect to those on former
occasions. His Ventriloquism has undergone considerable
change and improvement; in the delineation of the ♦arious
characters he is the first in Europe ; a great treat is afforded to
the audience in this department.

Mr. Jacobs, in addition to his own interesting entertainment,
has added those of Alons. ROSSEAU, the celebrated
FRENCH EQUILIBRIST ; Herr KREUZER'S PHAN-
TASAIAGORIAL DISSOLVING PORTRAITS, which
are on an entirely new system ; and the Classical Experiments
of the PATAGONIAN WONDERS. The tout ensemble

MONEY-TRADE-COIVEMERCE.

Thursday a public meeting of the skein silk dye trade
was held in Whiteehapel, to devise the means of relieving
the alarming distress that prevails in that branch of the
silk trade. A Committee of seven was appointed to col-
lect funds, and to co-operate with the weavers generally.
The exportation to London of rabbits from France
amounts to some thousands weekly, but they are in-
ferior to the English. American venison has also
become an article of importation to this country.
::At the close of the poll on Thursday for the Ward of
Farringdon Within, it was announced that all the suc •
cessful candidates (fourteen in number), had declared
against the Corn-laws. In several other Wards the same
strong feeling prevailed respecting this obnoxious tax.
By a letter from one of the largest iron-masters in
\Vales, it seems that they consider the worst period of
depression is past, and that an improvement in the iron
trade may be shortly expected.

Yesterday, the 24th December, is rendered remarkable,
among other causes, from its having been the day on
which the bold Robin Hood breathed his last, in the
year 1247. His real name was Fitz-ooth, and his grand-
father, Ralph Fitz-ooth, Earl of Kyme, came over with
William Rufus, and his name appears in the roll of
Battle Abbey. At Kirkleers, in Yorkshire, is a grave-
stone near the park, under which, according to general
tradition, Robin Hood lies buried.

An ancient bronze sword has just been discovered in
the bog of Tinraheen, in Wexford county, on the Earl
of Arran's estate. It was at the great depth of 20 feet
below the surface of the soil, and has been buried there
600 years. It contains four parts of tin and eight of
brass.

On Wednesday last Lord Mayor O'Connell admitted

The King of Congo levies his taxes in a curious way,
He walks out on a morning when there is a high wind ;
he then puts his bonnet over one ear only, and when it is
blown off by the wind, he imposes a tax upon those sub-
jects who live in the quarter from which the wind blew.
" Last week," says the Fifeshire Journal, a small
terrier unkennelled a crafty fox from some whins on the
farm of Treaton, and kept him at bay in the open field ;
ultimately he succeeded in capturing him."—ln the ap-
proaching Session of Parliament, if the Opposition ter-
riers do their duty, there will be a glorious unkennelling
of crafty foxes on the Treasury bench !
We understand that Mr. Williams has just written a
