SPANISH SLAVERY.

Mr. ALEXANDER said if the Committee would allow him he would
now bring up the Rcport on Spanish slavery, on which subject the
Committee had proposed a resolution for the further adoption of
the Convention.

Mr. TVRNUULL seconded the resolution, which was agreed to
unanimously.

FINANCE.

Mr. W. CREWDSON held in his hand a paper containing a list of
a few subscribers to the expenses of that noble institution. Those
expenses were running very high, and he was sorry that there was
as yet but ver" few subscriptions recorded on the paper he then held
in his hand. He apprehended that the expenses they had in.
curred since they first sat, would not fall far short of 1,0001., and he
trusted, therefore, that all parties would contribute liberally towards
the institution.

Mr. HEAD, the Mayor of Carlisle, hoped that those gentlemen
who had shown such zeal in their speeches in the cause of aboli-
tion, would display equal zeal with regard to its funds. The 1,0001.
that had been referred to would not support the Society—it would
only keep there out of debt. They ought to have some
annual increase, as the welfare of the Society depended upon their
having the means of carrying it on.
Mr. STUEGE was sure that all present would do what they could
for the benefit of the Society, but he thought that it ought to be
remembered that many of their friends had made great sacrifices
for the cause, in their time, and also in the expense they had been
at in coming to this country.—(Cheers.)
Mr. JOSIAH FORSTER hoped that their friends from the country,
would bear in mind the great benefits that would be derived to
o
Society from having annual subscriptions. He must, therefore,isiaverytie
again recommend that regular subscriptions for the Ant
Society should be adopted.
The subject then dropped.

By the new principles of Life Assurance and Deferred An-
nuities, founded by this Society, the moral obligation of all
classes of making a provision for a family or fur old age is
largely enhanced, by the immediate advantages secured to the
Assured themselves.

The details of the prineiples of the Society, its improvement
in the system of Assurance, its economical arrangements in
favour of the Assured, its extensive Tables, &c., will be found
in its Prospectus, which may be obtained at the Offices of the

Important and Salutary Improvements have been introduced
into Life Assurance practice by this Company.
The Policies or Contracts of Assurance are Indefeasible and
Indisputable.
The whole Profits of the Mutual or Participating Branch of
Assurance, are divided amongst the Assured of that Class, who
are relieved from all responsibility.
The Lowest Bates of Premium, the Reduced or Non-parti-
cipating Rates, are intended for those who prefer an immediate
saving to prospective accumulations.
One-half of the Premiums may remain Unpaid for Seven
Years, affording a greater facility for Loan Transactions than
any other plan which has been suggested—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.
Endowments are granted to Children contingent on their at-
taining a specified ege.
Sums asssured may be made Payable to the Assured them-
selves, at any specified age, or to their heirs or assigns, in the
event of the Assured's death before that time.

Medical Gentlemen are in all cases remunerated by the Com-
pany for their reports.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDITONE.-Since Wednesday the nights have be-
come warmer, and the bines have grown with a degree of
rapidity which has astonished everybody. In some places
where tying was not expected to commence for a fort-
night it commenced yesterday. In Mr. Gurney's ground
near Tovil.lane, a hop-bine was measured on Friday night,
and in the course of the next twenty-four hours it wag
found to have grown at least seven inches. In some grounds,
where the seas have been very prevalent, the bine has been ;
eaten off; the bines, however, aro expected soon to out- I
grow the attacks of their insect enemies.
BRENCIILEY.-The fleas are very numerous, but, not-
withstanding, the bines come forward strongly ar,d look
healthy, being somewhat seasoned to the cold niests. Pol-
ing is now in full operation, but it is a very ur:favourable
time for the poor labourers ; the ground be'mg so very
dry and dusty, the holes will not stand open, to receive the
poles. The hop-plantations in
general 'have been badly
poled for the last two years ; owing te, the
hops, our farmers have made shift with old poles, which
otherwise should have been east off ; consequently new
poles have been' much in demand this iyear, and main'
tamed good prices.
Tieuttiesr.—Ning is in full operation. The bines
during the warm days have made great progress,a but in
tim
many grounds are followed by the flea. Duty eated
at 150,000/, low price of

As at this season there is always considerable anxiety
respecting the chances of speculating to advantage upon
the coming growth, it may be desirable to refer to a com-
parative statement of the last 15 years, dividing them into
three periods, viz. :—Five years from 1825 to 1829, ave-
rage number of acres in cultivation about 48,000, produc-
ing about 129,0001. average duty annually; 1830 to 1834,
average number of acres in cultivation about 49,000,
producing about 149,0001. average duty annually ;
1835 to 1839, avciage number of acres in cultivation
about 55,000 producing about 198,000 i. average duty
annually, During the first period there was the si.sortust
crop that has been known for the last 37 years, w.nich was
succeeded the following year by the largest ever grown.
The prices of the first period average 150 per cent. more ;
those of the second about 80 per cent. more ; and those of
the third about 25 to 30 per cent. more than at pr,sent.
It is well af,certained that the number of acres this year
will be abut 47,000, possibly not so much. That the
plant is liable to the same disasters as ever is evident from
Worcester paying, in 1838, only 4,000/., while in 1837 it
paid 35,000/. The duty !or the growth of 18.i.,0 is laid $.(
145,C001. to 150,000/. The market remains very firm,
ith a great scar"!:ty of choice or tine hops.

FREEMASONRY AT LIVERPOOL

liITIATION OF JOSEPH WALM6LEY, ESQ., THE MAYOR.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

On Monday evening last, one of the most brilliant
meetings of the ancient Order of Freemasonry was
held at the Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool, on the occasion
of initiating into the mysteries of freemasonry our
highly respected Chief Magistrate, Joshua Walmsley,
Esq. Since the provincial grand meeting which took
place in December last at Liverpool, at which Lord
Comberm,Te attended, it has been our pleasing task to
record the initiation of the son of that nobleman in
an adjoining county, and it is now our duty to add a
name to the list of the Brethren, which we are fully
persuaded will sustain in unsullied purity those beau-
tiful principles and precepts which masonry, as a human
institution, can alone inspire. It is a matter of con•
siderable interest among the craft generally, that
there is no known instance of a Chief Magistrate,
during his Mayoralty, having joined the Masonic body,
and it is not a little grateful to the feelings of every
Mason in this district, that Mr. Walmsley in that ca-
pacity has attached himself to a " party" in which
politics and polemics are never the subject of discussion
and strife, but where union and friendly regard form
the principal and permanent bond, united with, a higher
and holier feeling of daily adoration and worship to-
wards the Great Architect of the Universe, in which
the heavens declare his glory, and where the firmament
showeth his handywork.
Having briefly stated the object of the meeting, we
cannot lead our readers further ; the official business
must remain unchronicled, and we proceed, therefore,
to notice,

BOW-STREET -(THIS DAY).

Cuaitaß OF ASSAULT.—Edward Clayfield, a tin-plate
worker, was charged with being drunk and assaulting seve-
ral persons under the following circumstances :
It appeared in evidence that on Saturday night, about
twelve o'clock, the prisoner was quarrelling with another
man in Hart-street, Covent-garden, and on George Fierce,
the complainant, remonstrating with him, he knocked him
down and inflicted several severe wounds on his head by
kicking him. A friend of the complainant, seeing him
bleeding on the pavement, interfered, with the constable,
who came up at the moment, to prevent further injury being
done to him, but the prisoner, being a powerful man,
knocked each of them down, and kicked the officer se.
vercly in the side before he could be secured.

. ..., ... . .. .
The prisoner declared that he was one of the most
peaceable and inoffensive men in the world when sober, but
happening to Le intoxicated at the time in question he could
not account for what had occurred.

Mr. HALL said that such cowardly and brutal conduct
should not go unpunished, and for the assault on the con..
stable he should go to hard labour for one month, but for
the Wan on ccn act !owards the complainant he should pay
a fine of 51., or two months' imprisonment.

A man named John Hobson has been taken into
custody, and has been twice examined during the week; on the
charge of being one of the parties perpetrating the murder of
Mr. Fairhurst, a Magistrate, during the colliers' strike at New-
castle, 1832-3. Sheffield Iris.

Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wea.thy, viz.:-
Ist. Insuring their lives in sums from Si. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
s possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
agaii;.qt 10.55 by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 100/., by Quarterly
Payments thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Wor!:Men's Tools, &c., to the value of 201. can be
Insured, on payment. of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.

The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can lie obtained on application at the office, 351,
