DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.

By the plan exclusively developed by this Society, a single
Deferred Annuity is made, nGt only to answer the same object,
but to far exceed in amount the entire benefit of all the ad-
vantages heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious
classes through separate investments in Savings' Banks, Be-
nefit 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 the age of 20, will give the policy holder the fol-
lowing option, at the age of 65
Annuity for remainder of life... ... £47 16 6
Cash

Policy, without further contributions, of 466 0 oat death.
Other periods of life (of 50, 55, and 60) may be also taken
with similar advantages.
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
ease of premature death.
N. B. Policies, as collateral money-security, for periods of
one to five years, effected at lower rates than are charged by
any other Office, (See Tables A. and B.), with option of con-
tinuance for Life at the usual rates.

THE LONDON, EDINBURGH, AND
DUBLIN GUARANTEED MUTUAL and PRO-
PRIETARY LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY,

3, CHARLOTTE-ROW, MANSION HOUSE, and 19,
REGENT-STREET, LONDON.
21, ST. ANDREW-STREET, EDINBURGH.
And 64, FLEET-STREET, DUBLIN.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUT-
ABLE, unless they have been obtained by fraudulent misre-
presentations.
Any important mistake, or even an unintentional omission,
in communicating information, in answer to the numerous
questions put by other Companies, has the effect of annulling
the policy, and forfeiting the premiums—thus rendering it in
general a matter of uncertainty (until the claim comes to be
made) whether the policy be of any value. The London,
Edinburgh, arid Dublin Assurance Company, determined to
obviate whas they consider injustico to the assured, satisfy
themselves upon the various questions proposed by them before
they enter into the contract of assurance, and frame their po•
licies in such terms as to preclude all future questions as to
their validity, and thus render them indefeasible and indisput-
able nonuments of future debt against the Company. The po-
licies of this Company may, therefore, be regarded as certain
available future funds, and as unimpeachab'e and negotiable
documents for pecuniary transactions.

ONE-HALF of the PREMIUMS MAY REMAIN UN-
PAID for SEVEN YEARS,
Affording a greater facility for Loan Transactions and Fa-
mily Provisions than any other plan which has been sug-
gested—allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half of the
usual sacrifice—and entitling the Assured at a future period,
when loss of health may prevent him from obtaining a New
A,surance, to continue a Policy for double the amount of the
sum for which he has paid Premiums.
The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors and Agents,
and Medical Gentlemen are in all cases remunerated fcr their
reports.

TO THE ELECTORS AND NON-ELECTORS ,OF
KINGSTON-UPON-HULL.
GENTLEMEN—I again present myself for
your Suffrages ; and under circumstance; which I trust
will be attended with the ancient success.
My claim to appear among yuur Candidates rests chiefly on
my having been one of the must persevering opponents of the
Restrictions upon Maritime Industry whieh are oppressing your
town. On other questions there may have been earlier and
more assiduous advocates ; but oa this I have something like
precedence.
The struggle is between the owners of the land and the
owners of the water—between those whose property is valuable
because it produces what is to be eaten, and those whose pro-
perty produces what ought to bl exchanged for what is eaten.
It is the question of whether Foreign trade is to be prohi-
bited by law, except so far as your earnings shall be shared
with those who neither toil nor spin.
It is not the question of whether you shall be the Oppressors
or the Oppressed. if you demanded that no landowner should
sell his corn without paying a tax to assist you in importing
foreign, it would be the counterpart of the oppression from
which you insist on being relieved.
The landowners say, there shall be no Trade or Navigation
but as they are to be the better for it. The sloop Peggy may
carry dry goods and groceries between Hull and Gainsborough,
because it is for their convenience ; but they will cut you off
from the blue water, unless you can prove to them that they
are to gain by it.
The Differential Duties upon Timber, are to make the pub-
lic pay for bad Capadian instead of good Baltic ; and to take
from you the advantage of your natural position for the Baltic
Trade. In other words, people are to be sent to Canada, for
you and the public to keep.
Colonies are good when they are the instruments of a pro-
fitable trade ; but not when the trade is to be made profitable
by taking out of other people's pockets. What would you
think of a man who set up a plantation across the Humber, to
sell 3ou bad timber at the price of good, and call it a colony?
The Emperor of Russia is setting up manufactories. Why
should he not, when there is a law to prevent him from buying
from English manufacturers with what he has got to pay in,
and you from being the carriers?
When you are told to give up foreign trade lest you should
thereby lose your home, is it not like telling a butter-wife not
to bring her butter to Hull, lest she should lose her market at
Cottingharn ? For what conceivable reason does she bring it
to Hull but because the market at Hull is the best ?

How are your ships to go from Hull to Hamburgh, or any-
where else, if when you get there and the cargo sold, you are to
be told you may vest the return cargo in anything but what
would pay at Hull? Corn would pay, and timher ; because
they are the things wanted here. And for that very reason, an
Act of Parliament is made to hinder it.
How are Sailors to live, if Ships are not to bring Return
Cargoes ?
How are Shipwrights to build Ships, if Ships are not to go?
How are all the trades that live by Sailors and by Ship-
wrights to live, if Sailors and Shipwrights are to be put down
by Act of Parliament?
If it was proposed to rebuild your Old Walls, and shut out
eorn in order to raise the price for those that could grow it in-
side, is there a man in Hull would believe them when they told
him his wages should be raised till he got as much corn out of
the small quantity as out of the great ? Hew then is it any more
possible, that if the Walls are pulled down again, wages should
fall till they give him no more out of the increased quantity
than out of the pinched ? I should like to see the man in Hull
who would be for keeping up the Walls.
If the landowners within the Walls pleaded that the increased
price would enable them to increase the quantity of corn by
growing it on flag-stones and house-tops, you would tell them
that you woul ' vP events have to pay for all your corn at flag-
stone price. Which weans giving the owners cf the flag-stones
two days of your labouil for a gallon of corn, instead of one.
The New Poor-law is a wall built up to crush your heads
against; but the Corn•law is what drives your heads against
the wall. You would care very little for the wall, if they
would not drive you against it by making laws to hinder you
from keeping yourselves.
The Factory Child is a miserable martyr to the landlords'
love for rents. There are some would relieve it by saving it
shall starve but not work ; and there are others would help
it by saying it shall work and not starve.
That on these points I have fought your battles for fourteen
years, forms, as 1 said before, my principal pretension to your
suffrages.
On the enemies of Slavery I have some further claim, as
having been engaged in the war against it since 1808, and as
having been instrumental to the first public Act in which the
slave-trade was written down piracy.
To the home slavery of Impressment I have been a steady,
and in some degree a successful, opponent. The whole'tlues•
tion reduces itself, to whether the rich are to take the sailor
for their wars, without paying him for it.
To the friends of Reform in general, it may be some recom-
mendation, that I have been a constant supporter of the prin-
ciples of Universal Suffrage, the Removal of Pecuniary Qua-
lifications for Members of Parliament, Equalization of Llecto-
ral Districts, Short Parliaments, and the Ballot ; and was one
of the ten Members of Parliament who assisted in embodying
these principles in the document called the Charter. Bating
slight shades of difference, which of the Electors calling him-
self Liberal, disapproves of any of these, or can charge me
with having pursued them by means at variance with the pub-
lic good ?
So many of you as think I endeavoured to serve you well
before, try to enable me to serve you again.
I remain, Gentlemen, your olden friend and servant,
T. PERRONET THOMPSON.

AT .a MEETING of the COMMITTEE
of the HULL REGISTRATION ASSOCIATION,
held this 26th day of May 1841 ;
B. M. JALLAND, Esq., in the Chair,
Resolved Unanimously—" That in the present crisis of poli-
tical affairs, it is of paramount importance that the Candidates
for our sutTrages at the ensuing Election should be determined
opponents of those unjust monopolies which so materially in-
create the sufferings and privations of the labouring classes."
" That Colonel Th9mpson,having proved himself to be the
uncompromising and consistent opponent of all such monopo-
lies, this Committee strongly urge the Reformers of Hull to
vote for Colonel Thompson at the ensuing Election.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of
Lambeth was yesterday held on Kennington-common,
to consider the Corn-laws, the monopolies, and the taxes.
The meeting had been advertised for sonie time before,
and at five o'clock, the hour appointed for the commence-
ment of the proceedings, upwards of five thousand per-
sons had assembled in front of a temporary hustings on
the Walworth side of the common. Among those present
on the hustings we perceived Mr. Hawes, M.P., and
Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt, M.P., the Members for the
borough ; Mr. O'Connell, M.P. ; the Revs. S. Green, J.
Burnet, H. Richard, W. Bear, and J. Mirams ; E. Edwards.,
Esq., a county magistrate; Mr. M‘Leod, Mr. Barker, Mr.
Palmer, and several other gentlemen connected with the bo-
rough. In the front of the hustings a banner was displayed
bearing the following inscription :—" Hypocrisy—l hope
thai the country will rise as one man against such a tax
—a Lax upon bread."—(Lord Winehilsea's speech.—
Times Report.) On that very day the duty on wheat.
was 1/. 3s. Bd. per quarter. Save us from our Noble
friends." The exhibition of this banner appeared to ex-
cite considerable merriment among the assembled mul-
titude.
On the motit.sn of Mr. M'LEop, Evan Edwards, Esq.,
was called to the chair.

substitution of a fixed duty insL-.ad of the present sliding
scale. There was great distress ex_isting in the manufac-
turingl... districts, and the object of the 'eeting was to pro-
cure such a reduction in the duty on coa:' as thould .se-
cureof a small
to the working man a large loaf insteat
one, and should enable the manufacturer to give -employ-
ment to all the working classes in the manufactiering
districts—(Cheers). As in so numerous an assembly s:
was very probable there might be some who could not
agree to the resolutions which might be submitted to the
meeting, if any one, after the mover and seconderof the
resolutions had been heard, should wish to reply to them,
he would request that such person would come upon the
platform, and he (the Chairman) would endeavour all in
his power to obtain for him a fair and impartial hearing.
—(Cheers.) He trusted too that in their expressions of
approbation and disapprobation, they would, after having
expressed their sense of any sentiments that might be
addressed to them, not carry those expressions to such
an extent as unnecessarily to lengthen out the time of
the meeting.—(Cheers.)
The Rev. S. GREEN then came forward to propose the
first resolution, which was to the effect that all laws
creating monopolies, and the Corn-laws in particular,
were detrimental to the public good by occasioning im-
pediments to trade, and calculated to benefit a small
class only at the expense of the welfare of the pepple at
large.—(Loud cheers.) Monopoly must, in its very na-
ture, be detrimental to the country, for what was mo-
nopoly but the assigning to one particular class advan-
tages which ought to be open to all.—(Cheers.) In this
country monopoly had been carried to a great extent.
Learning had been formerly a monopoly. It had now
ceased to be so. Were they not the better for its diffu- '
sion?—(Cheers.) Political freedom had been a mono-
poly. He might be told that by the restriction of the
franchise it was so still.—(Cheers.) Religious institutions
had been made a monopoly, and it had been roundly as-
serted that the right of administering them was ex-
elusively the property of one particular body of men.
The monopoly, however, which they were more parti-
cularly called upon to consider was that which related
to the supply of food, and which by its action interfered
with the freedom of trade, and cramped the manufac-
turing resources, of the country. He had been talking on
the subject of this monopoly with an Essex farmer, who
supported the Corn-laws, because he said that when corn
was high the labourer's wages were high in proportion ;
and when it was low the wages were lower. He asked
him to look to his labour-book and see what difference
there was in the wages he had given in 1835 and in
1840 ; and he found that in 1840 the wages had been
from Is. 6d. to 2s. a-week more than in 1835. In 1835
the price of wheat was 40s. a quarter, in 1840 it was 80s.
Would that Is. 6d. a week make a compensation for the
difference in price ?—(Loud cheers.) Then again they
were told of the burdens, such as Poor-rates and land tax
exclusively borne by the land, as a griund for maintaining
them. Now the annual amouut of those burdens was about
six millions per annum, while the annual amount of the
burdens exclusively borne by trades—such as stamp du-
ties, insurance duties, legacy duties, &c. amounted to from
eleven millions to eleven millions and a half, so that
here was no ground for protection.—(Cheers.) Ireland
was an illustration of what the Corn-law did to a country
where there were no manufacturing interests to restrain
its tendency to mischief. It might be asked what busi-
ness he as a minister of religion had to interfere in such
a question. His answer was that he was a man and an
Englishman, and therefore had a right to interfere ; but
the present was a religious question. Did they not all
pray to the Almighty to give them their daily bread,
and what right had any set of men to step between the
bounties of Providence arid say, You shall not enjoy the
blessings your Creator has given you until you have first
filled our pockets ? The Reverend Gentleman concluded
amidst iced cheers by proposing the resolution.
Mr. BARtigR, in seconding the resolution, said that
the question was purely one of political economy, al-
though their opponents had chosen to make it a political
one. Let them look at the distress occasioned by the
operation of this law in the manufacturing districts ; he
had read a report of a speech of Mr. Hearne, a Roman
Catholic clergyman of Manchter, who stated that of
20,000 persons who had died in tLe neighbourhood of
his chapel, and to whom he had been ca led upon to ad-
minister religious consolation in the last moments,
10,000 died of actual starvation.— (Loud eries of
" Oh, oh 1 Shame, shame ! No Corn-laws.") Fe
would now give them a practical illustration
of what would be the effect of the Ministerial measures if
carried; and, first, with regard to the sugar duties.—(lllr.
Barker here produced a loaf of fine refined sugar.) That was
a specimen of Brazil sugar which had been refined in this
country in bond, and which was prohibited to be used for home
consumption; but the monopolists exported to their ow'n colo-
nies in the West Indies, and sold it to the negro population
there at 4d. per lb., while the labourer in this country was
obliged to give 9d. for coarse brown.—(Cheers.) Then with
regard to the Corn-laws. Here (said the speaker, producing
a half-quartern loaf) is the 4d. English loaf—the Dnke of
Buckingham's loaf, and a very small one it is. Rfre (pro-
ducing a loaf nearly double the size) is the French 4d. /oaf ;
and here (producing an enormous loaf) is the Polish 4d. lea!
—(Cheers.) He had intended producing before them eight- I
penny quartern loaves, but the baker had not an oven large
enough to bake the Polish eightpenny loaf.—(Cheers sod
laughter.) Here they are, said Mr. Barker, placing_ the three
loaves in a row, Peel's sliding scale. Was it surprising that
with such loaves the Germans should be able to undersell our
manufacturers In our own markets, which they were doing at the
present moment ? There could not be a greater fallacy than to
sty that cheap bread would lower wages ; it would increase em-
ployment, and wages must always be higher when the capitalist
had to seek the labourer, than while the labourer hail to seek
the capitalist. They hadbeen told that this measure had been
squeezed out of Ministers—there must have been some good in
them, for if it had not been in them bow could it have been
squeezed out. He called upon them to unite to procure a re •
peal of this law. If it had not been for the accursed Corn-law
they would never have had the Poor .law.—( Loud cheers.) He
concluded by urging them to persevere, and they mast succeed
in getting rid of the accursed law.—(Loud: cheers. )
A working man named BROWN here stepped upon the plat-
form, and amidst some uproar attempted to address the 'meting.
The Chairman having interfered to procure him a hearing he
stated that it was impossible to hope for any repeal of the Corn-
laws, to which he was opposed, while the House of Commons
was constituted as at present, and proposed an amendment to
the effect that it was useless to hope for a repeal of the mo-
nopolies until the Charter should become the law of the land.
The amendment having been seconded, was put from the
chair, and twelve hands only were held up in its favour. The
on resolution was then put and carried amidst the loudest
acclamations.
Mr. Gums proposed the next resolution, which was—
" That petitions be prepared to both Houses of Parliament
against the monopolies of Sugar, Timber, and Corn, and pre-
sented to both Houses of Parliament."
Mr. M‘Leon, in seconding the resolution, said, that as a
staunch Radical, now he saw Ministers pursuing a right course,
he would support them to the utmost of his power. He could
not but he surprised at the impudent twaddle of Peel in taunt-
ing the Ministers with having this measure forced upon them
by the people. Had not Peel and the Duke of Wellington
both cringed before the Irish people? and they would on this
question make them cringe before the English people.—
( Cheers) What'mattered it about the motives of Ministers.
Supposed they had brought forward this measure to keep thei
Nees were not those the best entitled to receive the people's
I)
pay who did the people's work 7—(Loud cheers.
Mr. O'Cosearia, I'd.P., then stepped forward, and was
received with loud 'cheering, which lasted some minutes. The
Hon. Gentleman said he was delighted to see such as assem-
blage met together for vindicating the cause of common
sense, for the putting down monopoly was common sense.—
(Loud cheers.) What was monopoly ? it was a long word for
robbery,---( Cheers and laughter.)

poor honest Chartists were against them. Now, would it do
them any geeat harm to have a large loaf ?—(Cheers.) The
Lords were the great monopolists every where. They mono-
polised one House of Parliament, Bishops and all.—( Cheers. )
They were irresponsible—public opinion could never reach
them, amid they legislated as a glass for themselves. They I
claimed a right to be legislators because their fathers had been
so before them. Would any of them trust a man who
had never learned tailoring to make his coat, be-
cause his father had been a tailor before him ?—(Cheers )
and if they would not trust hereditary tailors, why should= they
trust hereditary legislators. They monopolised the Church,
all the bishoprics, and fat livings were monopolised by the aris-
tocracy, and he should like to know what the poor got out of
the Church except the prayers.—(Load cheers.) They mono-
us poed the army. A poor man might be a private soldier,
but commissions were reserved for my Lord Cardigan ; had
they ever heard of that chap ?—( Loud laughter)—a fel-
-ho, for the better observance of the Sabbath, flogged a

in the thigh. The femoral artery was wounded and the
bone shattered. As soon as three surgeons were pre-

amputated, but the deceased died about a quarter of an
hour afterwards. Coroner—If the blood had been stopped
