STATE OF TRADE.
The past week has been a broken one, and yesterday the nick.
mency of the weather prevented the transaction of much outdoor
business. The markets present no material change in their general
features. Freights arc dull.
Corros.—ln this article the transactions have been exceedingly
limited. The stock on hand is very small, and the prices arc such
ar to deter skippers from entering the market, in..the present state
of the markets abroad. In the southern markets, generally, there
has been more doing at improved prices. The holders are very
firm, but buyers on foreign account consider the present rates above
their limits. The following is a table of transactions at the diffe.

CANTERBURY ELECTION.

We are gratified by being enabled to state that the Want
of co-operation between Mr. Villiers and the present Can'
didate in the Liberal interest, Mr. Henniker Wilson, TIG
longer exists. The Tory will be kept out. The announce..
ment was made at a public meeting last Thursday. °h.°
Mr. Villiers said he had at length the pleasure of assuring
them that " the most satisfactory intercourse" had takes
place between himself and the leaders of the other section
of the Blue party ; and had " the most satisfactory gni',
rantee" that, if his friends would now come forward an
support Mr. Henniker Wilson, he should in return b.
supported honestly and fairly at a general election, in cos'f
junction with Mr. Wilson, by the united strength of t"
whole Blue party.

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE HON. 'IIE. smyTVE ASP

MR. WILSON.
The following correspondence has passed between Mt.
Smythe and Mr. Wilson
" Mr. Sutton, on the behalf of Mr. Smythe, demand°
an explanation from Mr. Henniker Wilson of the folios/
expressions made use of by the latter in a speech delivere
ox Tuesday last, viz , ' Parliament is his profession, diPl°‘
macy his trade, and humbug his language.' Mr. Sutton
also complains that the whole tenor of the speech will
salting to Mr. Smythe."
" Mr. FrederickVilliers, on the part of Mr. Henniker
Wilson, disclaims having had the intention, in the ab,'"'",
mentioned sentences, of saying anything personally al
sire to Mr. Smythe, or what would be painful to his f‘
ings as a gentleman. Mr. Villiers makes the same ,`;
claimers as to any other part of his speech. Mr%
further expresses Mr. H. Wilson's regret that his sree
should have been understood by any one as personilll
offensive to Mr. Smythe."
The correspondence is signed " Frederick Villiers
and " Frederick Sutton."
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Smythe both met at a benevolent
ball last niOlt, hut the fomer only remained there hail°

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.

By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, n&t only to answer the safne object,
but to equal in amount the entire tuts 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 sr weekly centributien will secure the
most ample :et= for after life; thus--21. 120. per aenum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 giro the pelicY holder the choice of
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d.: 3941. 1 ls. 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,
prDspectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at the office of the
Society, by letter or otherwise, 26, Cornhill, London, or at

LONDON:
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1841•

The principle involved in the condemnation of
M. DUPOTY by the Chamber of Peers, which
our Tories are disposed to adopt and act on,
namely, that an author is responsible for the ef-
fects of his writings on the minds and conduct of
other persons, requires now to be subjected to a
close examination. We cannot assent to it. An
author or public writer is responsible for the
truth and accuracy of his remarks ; he may be
justly liable to censure for bad taste or improper
language; but the effects of his observations on
the minds of others is wholly beyond his com-

The late Mr. J. B. West, M.P., for Dublin, fought for
Conservatism with great spirit. In the election of 1832
for Dublin, he was in a minority of 300 votes ; in 1835,
of 223 below Mr. O'Connell, but was seated by petition.
In 1837 he was ousted by a minority, but at the last
election had a majority of 168 votes over Mr. O'Connell.
He did not sit in the House of Commons more than a
year and a half.
A piece of plate was lately presented to Commander
Somerville, R.N., through Sir Edward Codrington, raised
by a limited subscription from 369 flag-officers, captains,
commanders, and others, as a tribute of their esteem
for the honourable and zealous manner in which he ad-
vocated their interests before the Commissioners on Na-
val and Military Inquiry.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
J. T. CLEMENT, Esq., Actuary.
A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in-
vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so
as to be at all times available.

At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a banns to
the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums
paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in
addition to the payment of the annual interest.
The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable
opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu-
rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in
the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for
the whole period.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a ape.,
cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a. new table, at lower
rates, has iseen calculated, on which, as well as on the partici-
patiti scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE-
MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR
FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for
1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 500/. only.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
1001., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for
five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per
cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the
amount due will then be deducted :

Age 20, without profits £1 13 0 with profits £1 18 0

For short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and
forany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information
may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

miums become due at Christmas, that no•extra charge is made
at this Office for the Transfer of Policies,
,and that they will be
rated on terms peculiarly favourable to parties insuring.
Ir surances may be effected for any pet iod of time ; if for
SEVEN years, the Premium and Duty will only be charged

To quote here the many scientific opinions that have been
given on the uses of Steel Pens, and of the great necessity of
having Elastic Holders, would far exceed the limits of an
advertisement.

The Proprietor humbly, but with great confidence, ays
before the public this little, but no less effectual, promoter of
comfort, to all grades of society using a Pen, knowing that his
Flexible Penholder has only to be tried to be approved of.

EXPLOSION ON THE BRISTOL

RAILWAY.

THE INQUEST,—Tuesday, the inquest was held be-
fore the County Coroner, at the New Inn, Wickwar.
On proceeding to the stable a sickening sight pre-
sented itself. There lay the remains of the two
who were killed instantly. Jones was completely naked
except his boots ; one side of his face and the lower
part of his body had been blown away, which gave
rise to the belief that he had the barrel of pow-
der in his arm when it exploded. The bead
of Stephens was a shapeless mass, and he was other-
wise much injured. Bennett's body lay in a back
kitchen, and was dreadfully injured. The first witness
called was _

John Stephens, who said—l have been employed as
a foreman under Mr. Brunel for nearly fifteen years,
but am at present a sub-contractor under Mr. Nowell.
The injured men worked for me. On Friday evening,
after work, I told James Jones, one of the men killed,
who had charge of the powder, to put it in the black-
smith's shop, and take it out again on Monday morn-
ing before the men came to work ; we have put it there
frequently before on Saturday nights, for safety ; on
Monday morning I went down to the blacksmith's shop
and had gone about thirty-four yards, when I heard the
explosion ; it did not appear to me louder than the re-
port of a fowling-piece. I turned and saw some-
thing like a bundle of burning rags coming
in the air towards me, and in about a second
after, a quantity of timber and stones fell around,
but nothing struck me ; at that instant I heard the
cries of the poor fellows who were hurt, and after-
wards found it was the body of Jones that had fallen
by my side ; there were nearly one hundred men at
the spot in five minutes, and we rendered all the
assistance in our power ; we found that two were
dead, and another died about two hours after. We
brought them all here, and Mr. Raberts, the surgeon,
attended them immediately. The only way I can ac-
count for the accident is, that Jones must have gone
to work behind time, and that he was in the act of tak-
ing out the powder when it caught.
Two other witnesses were called, but nothing further
was elicited, all who were present in the shop having
been either killed or taken to the infirmary. The inquest
was then adjourned till Thursday week, when it was
hoped some of them would be sufficiently recovered to
attend. The names of those dead are—Matthew
Stephens, 27, single man ; James Bennett, 29, wife
near her confinement ; and James Jones, 27, single.

We have published from an Edinburgh Jour-
nal a curious circular,- lately issued by a Select
Committee of Non-Intrusionists. This violent
party in the Kirk, finding it necessary to delude
the people, and induce them to go along with
them in their schemes of aggrandising their own
order at the expense of public liberty, have formed
a plan for a " Holy Association." This body is
to levy money from the people ; prepare mea-
sures for resisting every Government plan
not suitable to their views ; agitate the coun-
try from one end to the other, by means of
tracts, conferences, and lectures; and have paid
agents for carrying their secret machinations into
effect, If this does not open the eyes of the
people of Scotland, they deserve to be slaves.
We have, however, better hopes of their inde-
pendence axed good senile. One part of this cir-
cular affords great cause' 'rejoici4g,itW•aus it
puts the fact beyond doubt that the GovernMent
will not yield. The Strathbogie ministers
must be restored, and if any measure
at all is introduced into Parliament, it
will be one which the members of this " Holy
Association" will resist to the last. They are
evidently prepared for Sir Robert Peel's plan.
We shall then see whether the General As-
sembly or Parliament is the strongest party.

CORONERSRIP OF CHESHIRE.—At the final
close A. Churton, Esq., had a majority over Mr.
John Wood Massey of 170.
REFORM CLUE.—A magnificent marble bust
of her Majesty the Queen, the production of
Francis, has just been presented to the Reform
Club by Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M.P. It is
placed in a most advantageous situation in the
grand ball of the Club-house. This handsome
present has been designed to commemorate the
birth of his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales ; and, we doubt not the example of this
truly loyal and liberal-minded Cambrian will be
followed by many on being generally known.

ECCLESEAS-TICAL.

Although a commission de lunatico inguirendo sat

minor episcopal functions have been still administered
throughout his important districts, and sundry rev( rand
gentlemen have been presented to valuable benefices,
upon the sole responsibility " of the Lord Bishop of
Ossory."

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
J. T. CLEMENT, Esq., Actuary.
A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in-
vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so
as to he at all times available.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to
the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums
paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in
addition to the payment of the annual interest.
The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable
opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu-
rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in
the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for
the whole period.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe.•
cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower
rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici-
pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE-
MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR
FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for
1,0001. on the immediate paymentof thepremium for 5001. only.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
IAOI., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for
five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per
cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the
amount due will then be deducted :

Age 20, without profits £1 13 0 with profits £1 13 0

40 . .... ........... ... 2 14 3

For short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and
forany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information
may be Obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

Farming Stock, and every description of Personal Property

miums become due at Christmas, that no extra charge is made
at this Office for the Transfer of Policies, and that they will be
rated on terms peculiarly favourable to parties insuring.
Ir surances may be effected for any period of time • if for
SEVEN sears, the Premium and Duty will only be Charged
