SIR --I think it my incumbent duty to return you my grate-

Snuff." You must understand, Sir, that I have for the last
four or five years suffered much with giddiness in my head and
dimness of sight. I naturally concluded (being in my 69th
year) that it was the decay of Nature, and was advised by a
friend, who said so much in its favour, and the extraordinary
virtues of your invention, I was induced to give it a trial, and
lam happy to say that the great and signal benefit I have de-
rived from the use of four of your 2s. 4d. canisters has enables
me to lay aside my spectacles, has given me great relief in my
head, and I feel so thoroughly convinced of its benign virtues,
m
that y gratitude shall ever be evinced in recommending it to
all I may hereafter meet suffering with those afflictions.

LIFE ASSURANCE.
Besides the perfect security to the policy holder of a large
paid up capital, and accumulating funds, the following is one
amongst many of the advantages which belong exclusively to
the principles of Life Assurance and Deferred Annuities ori-
ginated by the Society, viz.—Power to borrow ( without de-
y, expense, or forfeiture) Two-thirds of all premiums paid
upon a Policy of Assurance.
The annexed is a short Table, showing the Annual Premium
for assuring £lOO on the Whole Life, er for a Term :

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.

lowing option, at the age of 65

with similar advantages.

3. Two...birds of all payments returned to representatives in
case 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.

This Institution is empowered by a Special Act of Parlia-
ment, and is so constituted as to afford the benefits of Life As-
surance, in their fullest extent, to Policy-holders, and to pre-
sent greater facilities and accommodation than can be obtained
in other Offices. The decided superiority of its plan, and its
claim to public preference and support, have been proved in-
contestably by its extraordinary and unprecedented success.
Among others, the following important advantages may be
enumerated :

A most economical set of Tables—computed expressly for
the use of this Company, from authentic and complete data,
and presenting the lowest Rates of Assurance that can be of-
fered without compromising the safety of the Institution.
Increasing rates of premium on a new and remarkable plan,
for securing loans or debts, a less immediate payment being
required on a policy for the whole term of life than in any
other office.

Premiums payable either Annually, Half-yearly, or Quar-
terly, in ono sum, or in a limited number of payments.

PETER MORRISON, Resident Director.
A liberal Commission allowed to Solicitors and Agents.

The safety of the Data from which its Tables of Rates are
deduced, had been amply proved by the long and successful ex-
perience of the Equitable.
The selection of Lives has been rigidly attended to.
Its Funds have been successfully invested.
It has been uniformly prompt and liberal in its settlements.
It is wholly free from the burden and conflicting interests
of a Proprietary.
While, from the operation of these causes, this Office has
been enabled to economize to the utmost in behalf of the As-
cured, the Cost of which the valuable benefits of Life Assur-
ance are obtained, its advantages are by no means limited to
this :

Its large and rapid increasing capital and revenue have long
since opened up, and still secures to it, in a progressively in-
creasing ratio, all those sources of profitable business which the
most favoured proprietary bodies, or trading Insurance Com-
panies, can command.
The important difference is to be found, and to be found
only, in the Application of the Profits :
In Proprietary Companies their oyeration is exhibited in in-
creasing the value of the Proprietor s Stock and raising their
dividends.

In this Institution as the Profits belong wholly to the
assured, their operation is seen in those large additions, which,
as in the case of the London Equitable, will undoubtedly render
a Policy opened in this office, and steadily kept up during the
whole period of a prolonged life, a very valuable inheritance
indeed.

The Assured, if not seafaring by occupation, are allowed to
pass during peace by sea from one part of Europe to any other
part of Europe, without license or extra premium.

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the
most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re-
quires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of life one
half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five
years after the date of th'e Policy, the other half may remaine
subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent, annually, to be
deducted at death, or may previously be paid off at convenience.
It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate
income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision fir his
family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance
succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy,
having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years,
instead of the whole, as in all other Companies.
Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
28/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards
the full premium, 571. 12s. 6d. yearly, secure to his widow
and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., sub-
ject only to the deduction of 1441. Is. 3d., being the amount
of premium unpaid.
On the Ist of July, the Board of Directors added 2 per Cent.
per Annum as a Bonus to those assured upon the participating
plan from the dates of their policies, thus appropriating 20/.y a- ear as an addition to every policy for 1,000/. The follow-
Table will show the amount of the bonus on policeLedstsoinpcoelitchye.

THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—The
career of this Magazine has been s more brilliant one than,
perhaps, ever attended a similar wait in this country ; it has,
during the last 10 or 15 years, been' honducted successively by
the three most distinguished writers' of their day. each in his
respective department.. let, by -Thomas Campbell, the Poet
—2dly, by Edward' Bulwer, the most accomplished prose writer
of his time—and 3dly, by the late illimitable wit and humour-,
ist, Theodore Hook. Nor does itsfuture destiny seem likely
to be less fortunate than its past; for it has, we understand,
now passed into the hands of a ulster who, in his particular
line, has not only never been eqsalled, but has stood, and
stands, absolutely alone. If there has ever lived a writer of
whom it could be said truly—and without a bull—that " none
but himself can be his parallel," that writer is Thomas Hood ;
for his " so potent art 'is not mill of his own invention and
creation, but has hitherto proved unattainable by any follower,
much less imitator, and threatens tc die with him, and become
one of the artes deperditce. Thomas. Hood may now also (by
the premature death of Theodore gook) be regarded 'as oc-
cupying alone and undisputed the throne; of wit and humour
which hitherto he has but shared liith his great rival. May
the New Monthly Magazine prnitir under his hands !

LONDON, tUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1841.

THE CORN LAWS
AND COMMERCIAL REFORM.

ST. LUKE'S.

A public meeting of the inhabitant householders of the parish
of St. Luke was held last ev.ning in the chapel of the work-
house, City-road, to take into consideration the propriety of
presenting a memorial to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty
will take measures to continue the deliberations of Parliament,
without intermission, until the laws which regulate the trade in
corn shall be so settled as to secure to the people a plentiful
supply of food at the cheapest rate. The requisition was signed
by a great number of the most respectable and influential inha-
bitants of the parish. The room was densely crowded, and a
great number, we were informed, went away unable to obtain
admittance. Mr. Churchwarden Jay was unanimously called
to the Chair ; when
Mr. WALKER read the reply that had been received from
Mr. Wakley in answer to an invitation ,to be present at the
meeting, in which he stated his ability to be present would
depend on the proceedings of the House. He expressed, how.
ever, his sincere hopes that the efforts of Reformers would be
speedily successful in establishing in this country, not only a
free trade in corn, but a wholly untaxed food for the people.
Mr. Walker, in moving the first resolution, said that the im-
portance of the question they were mettodiscuss, was indicated
by the greatness of the assemblage ho saw around him. It was
further indicated by the number of petitions which had been
presented to the Legislature on the subject. The number of sig-
natures to those petitions during the year 1841, was
1,900,000, being an increase of more.than half a million signa-
tures, when compared with the number of petitions against the
Corn-law in 1816, the year it was enacted; that showed that
the people had become feelingly alive to the evil resulting
from the measure.—( Cheers.) The resolution he had to pro-
pose was to the following effect:—" Thas this meeting views
with feelings of apprehension and alarm the recent declaration
of the present Government, that no material:alleviation of the
distresses of the country can be effected by the Legislature,
and that it is their intention to adjourn all further delibera-
tions for several months." A few months was long to a man
with a starving family to wait for relief.—( Hear, hear.) They
had no tax upon bread previous to the year 1770. A tax
was then first imposed by a selfish aristocracy for their own
purposes. The tenor of the speeches of the Members of the pre-
sent Ministry at the hustings at the recent elections showed a
want of practical sympathy with the miseries of the peoplft--,-
(Hear, hear.) Would they tolerate such a Ministry ?—( Cries
of " No.") They would unite reason and effort together in a
great national movement, and make known the national will.—
(Loud cheers,) They would endeavour to make the House of
Commons a counterpart of the national will, and if it were so,

the Corn-law would soon be abolished.—(Cheers.)
ALEXANDER ROBERT SHAW, Esq., had been requested to
second the resolution. He, and every man, had a great inte-
rest in the question of the Corn-laws, and he would prove that
by reference to his baker's bill he now paid 301. per annum
for bread. If the tax on bread were taken off he would get it
at least for ninety per cent. less, and that would enabled him
to save 121. er 141. a year, which he might apply to the educa-
tion of his children, or in any other way that he might find
desirable.—( Cheers.) The distress in the country was ap-
palling. Commerce was languishing, and manufactures were
standing still. What was the cause ? Sir R. Peel said that the
Corn-laws were not the cause. He ascribed it to Joint-Stock
Banks, over-trading, and machinery. That it could not be
from Joint-Stock Banks was evident from the fact that
of late years they had not transacted near so much
business as before. Without machinery they could not
have supplied the foreign market. Machinery was a
blessing to the country when fully employed,—( Hear. )
He had been speaking of their enemies, he would now turn to
their friends. One of their Representatives, Mr. Wakley,
had said that au Bs. duty would not conduce to the benefit of
the people—( Loud cries of " He does not say so," and " Yes,
yes," followed by great confusion)—and therefore he argued
that he (Mr. Wakley) was in favour of the present law.—
(Great confusion.) He trusted that he (Mr. Wakley) would
have an opportunity of denying this statement, if he could.—
( Great confusion, and cries of " Give it him," " Hold an in -
quest on him," and great laughter.) He cordially seconded
the resolution. It was of no use to petition the House of Com-
mons. They had no confidence in the House of Commons,
constituted as it was.—( Great cheering.)
Mr. WEST, a venerable old gentleman, here came forward,
and requested to say a few words in corroboration of the
previous speaker, as to the comparative cheapness of provi-
sions and comfort of the agricultural labourer previous to the
enactment of the Corn-law.--( The speaker's great age and
venerable demeanor commanded great respect, and he was
loudly cheered.) He was a farmer's son at Beccles, in Suf-
folk. When he was a boy the very finest wheat sold at 14s. a
coomb, or 28s. a quarter. Every necessary_of life was cheap
in proportion. As fine pork as ever was seen was sold at from
3d. to 34d. per lb. Butter, a pint of 23 ounces, at 6d. a pint ;
good fat geese, at 2s. 4d. a pair ; and a couple of good fowls at
10d. Every labourer then kept a keg of nice beer—there was
then no duty on malt—(Hear)—he had a pig in the stye, and
possessed other comforts not to be seen now ; for in travelling
through the same part of the country now, there was not one
cottager in ten who bad a pig in his stye or a keg of beer in his
house.—( Hear, hear.) He was a collector of rents in a loca-
lity in ths.t district. A great number of the tenants had been
out of employment for some raonths, and he could not get the
rent. He saw so much of the misery of the poor that his heart
bled for them.—(Cheers.) He hoped Mr. Wallet would be
called to account, for ho saw that he was ratting.,--a(Cheers,
and roars of laughter, with cries of " Where is he ?")
A CHARTIST here stepped forward and said, it was unfair to
condemn Mr. Wakley before he was heard. He believed him
to be an honest man.—(Cries of " Question.")
The resolution was then put and carried amidst tremendous
cheering, about half a dozen Chartists only opposing it..
Mr. Pa Lusett. moved the next resolution—" That in the
opinion of this meeting, the Legislature has the power of ma-
terially alleviating the distresses of the country, by repealing
the present Corn-laws, and lowering high protective duties
on all articles of general consumption."
Mr. STAFFORD ALLEN seconded the motion.
Several gentlemen spoke in support of the motion. which
was carried ( with two dissentients) amidst great cheering.
Mr. HALL moved the adoption of a memorial to the Queen,
praying her Majesty not to prorogue Parliament until the
Corn-laws were taken into consideration.

Mr. DE LA RUE seconded the adoption of the memorial.
It was then put and carried unanimously, and next moved
and seconded that the memorial be entrusted to the Duke of
Sussex fur presentation. This proposition was agreed to
unanimously.
A meeting of the District Anti-Corn-law Association was
announced for that day week at the Hope Tavern, Banner-
street, to take measures to commence a more strenuous and de-
termined opposition to the Corn-laws than heretofore.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE.—It is understood that the sealed tenders
delivered to-day at the Bank of England, specifying the
sums for which the offerers subscribe to the 5,000,0001. loan
or funding of Exchequer Bills, have not much exceeded
3,500,000/. The utmost that comes to the Exchequer under
this operation, therefore, is only 1,750,0001. in cash, and the
same amount of Exchequer Bills sent in to be funded. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer will, of course, put the beit
face on it, and as lie has got something to go on with, says
he has been successful in all his wishes ; but say what he
'may,, his original objectivas to raise a paltry loan ef 2,500,0001,
and to fund as much in Exchequer Bills; and, after a week's
notice, he is much under the sum proposed, and this esta-
blishes what we said at the outset, that he had hot allowed a
sufficient margin for the fall.
Consols do not maintain, the price of Saturday. The open-
ing price this morning was 89g to % for the Account, but in
consequence of some heavy sales by influential brokers, the
market gave way to 89i, the closing price. These operations
for a fall may be attributed to the 5,000,0001. creation of new
Stock, which will come on the market, if the funding be car-
ried out to the full extent, and some parties may have sold for
the Account against their subscriptions when they found that
their tenders had all been taken. It is is said in some quarters
that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be contented with
the amount subscribed, which will answer all his immediate
wants, and that the Bank of England will supply him when he
needs further assistance; but the Old Ley has not, we hear,
as yet come forward, and even threatens to reject the Right
Hon. Gentleman's offers altogether; but in this we put no
faith.
TIMES.—As a matter of official etiquette the particulars of
the funding of Exchequer Bills, the tenders for which closed
to-day at one o'clock, are not certainly known, the cashier of
the Bank of England having deemed it right to communicate
the result in the first instance to the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer. Various rumours have, however, been afloat as to
the amount offered for conversion, and while the general
report on the Stock Exchange fixed it at 3,500,0001.,
others estimated it at about 3,000,0001., while some,
and those of high standing, were inclined to be-
lieve it would not be found to exceed 2,800,0001.
The causes which have operated against the con-
version of the whole amount proposed, are supposed to be the
high value of money, and the present abundance of Stock.
Expectations that the Scotch bankers would come forward en
this occasion are also said to have proved erroneous, as the
rate of interest prevailing in Scotland has been such as to give
sufficient inducement for the employment of money there.
In the West of England there is in all probability a strong ne-
cessity among the bankers to keep their funds by them, as them
recent failure of Messrs. Hobhouse, of Bath, has in some measure
shaken the confidence of the public, and created a run upon many
of the banks in that part of the country. A few of the private
London bankers (one at the west end), besides one of the
Joint-stock Banks, are known to have come into the operation,
but in general the city bankers prefer employing their money in
mercantile purposes to investing it in Government Securities.
The Exchequer Bill market has declined a little since the
closing of the period for tenders, as the notice had naturally
kept up their value, while it is said that a quantity of these
Securities have come from the West of England, which has of
course tended to produce a decline. It should be observed
that the opinion in the city was throughout the day by no means
against the ultimate success of the funding, but that it was
thought highly probable, that although the appointed period had
expired, it could be completed in a few days by keeping the
books open for that purpose.
At a late hour in the slay it was understood in the City that
a deputation from the Stock Exchange had waited upon the.
chief cashier in the Bank parlour for exact information as to
the amount of the subscriptions, and that they learned that it
was 3,800,0001. ; besides which, it is currently stated in the
City that the sum remaining to complete the whole of the
funding will be taken by the Bank of England. It is rather
to be regretted that this sort'of official punctilio was exercised
by the chief cashier of the Bank, since it was clearly of im-
portance to the whole of the monied interest that they should
be made acquainted as soon as possible with the exact state of
the subscriptions.
SUN.—Thero was a decline of* to per cent. in Con-
sols to-day; produced probably by the fact having
transpired that the whole tenders for the conversion do
not amount to the sum required by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, ns it leaves the Market in a state of un- ,
certainty with respect to the course that may be adopted.
No doubt, however, the Bank of England in this, as in
former instances, will assist the Government by taking
all the Stock which other capitalists have not tendered
for. Consols for immediate transfer brought 89i to
89*. and for Account 894 to 891, but before the close of
business the latter dropped to 894 The Market left
off heavily. Exchequer Bills were worth only 16s. to
13s. premium, and India Bonds did not range higher
than par to Is. premium. The New Three-and-a-Half
per Cents. were 94 to 98i.
There was not much business done in Foreign Stocks
to-day, and prices still ruled low, except for Spanish,
which rose to -1- per cent., owing to the favourable ac-
counts from Madrid. Spanish Active Bonds realised 22
to 221 Portuguese Three per Cents. were 18i, Mexican
Bonds were dull at 25i, Brazilian declined to 6;.:1 and
67, and Peruvian were at 151. Russian Bonds remah.:'d
firm at 1124, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were
heavy at 51i.
In Shares there was no particular movement, if we
except rather an increase in Brighton, which ranged
from 41 to 5A discount. Great Western Shares were at
111- to 12, the New at 41 to 1, Birmingham Thirds at
191 to 20, the South 'Western at 12k, and the York and
North Midland at 231 premium. North Midland Shares
were 25, and Croydon discount. Provincial Bank of
Ireland Shares improved to 17 premium.

GENEROUS CONDUCT.—About a fortnight
since a Scotch boy of the name of Macuaillan, about 12 years
of age, was taken before Mr. Gregorie at Queen-square
Police Court, charged with begging. The mother of the boy
was called in, and told a melancholy tale. Her husband, she
said, was a shoemaker residing in Glasgow, and on the advice
of the surgeons there had come to London in order to undergo
an operation for cataract at the Ophthalmic Hospital. On the
previous Sunday one of their children had died, the father was
blind, and as they had not a farthing in the world she sent the
boy out to beg some pence to buy a candle, and get a mouthful
of bread. The Magivrate sent a policeman to the house to make
inquiry, and on his return said he found the poor blind man
sitting near the body of a dead child, and that the mother,
in other respects, had strictly stated the truth. On the case
being made known, various donations were sent to the Ma-
gistrates for the use of the family, which, on Saturday last,
amounted to 201. Part of this sum had been applied, from
time to time, as necessity
.required, and it having been Puna,
on oonsulting Mr. Guthrie, Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Law-
rence, that no effective operation could be performed upon
the poor man's eyes at present, the question with the Ma-
gistrate was, how the whole family could be sent home to Scot-
land at a rate so cheap as to enable them to have a few pounds
on their arrival there. With this view Mr. Gregorie, on
Saturday, sent Algernon Smith, the Chief Usher of the Court,
into the City, to make the necessary inquiries at the diffe-
rent staamboat offices on the subject, and Smith, finding that
the passage of the family, independently of their food, would
cost from 71. to 91, the worthy Magistrate addressed a letter
to Mr. Brockelbank, principal Director of the General Steam
Navigation Company, who, on receiving it, immediately deter.
mined to give the whole family a free passage in the fore cabin,
and directed Smith to explain the matter to the steward, who
would, no doubt, accommodate them with provisions on the
voyage at the cheapest possible rate. The poor family were,

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.--After the per-
formance last night of the comedy, It hat will the World Say?
a new ballet of action, entitled Hans of Iceland, was produced
with a most exemplary display of skill, on the part of scene
painter and property-man. The well known tale of Hans
supplies the general incidents of this action. He is a most pic-
turesque old bandit, with a strong tribe of liegemen, amongst
the copper-mines of Norway. His son Gill, a youth of infinite
promise in the same line of romance, loses his life in con-
sequence of having carried off Guth Stasen (Miss Bailin),
the fair daughter of an honest fishermen, and the beloved
of a young soldier of the Munkholm regiment (Mr.
Gilbert). 'l'he girl falls into the hands of the ban-
dit, who thenceforth cherishes the most malignant projects
of vengeance against her for the death of his son, and her res-
cue by lover, seconded by a detachment of his comrades,
after encountering dangers of a most appalling kind by flood
and field, which conclude by a volcano in Iceland, presents an
extraordinary concatenation of exciting incidents, and consti-
tutes the great interest of the piece. Its chief ballet feature
consists of a very animated pas de deux by Mr. Gilbert and
Miss Ballin ; a second by Master and Miss Marshall ; and a
general dance by the whole corps of the theatre. This was all.
executed in a most creditable manner. The Hans of Mr.
