Upon the annual investigation of the affairs of the Society,
cn the termination of the sixth year, as required by the deed
of settlement, it is ascertained that the same rate of abate-
ment of Forty per Cent., as in the past year, may be made for
the year ending the 4th April, 1842, and such abatement will
be made accordingly. The data from which this abatement
is deduced, fully justify the expectation that, after the payment
of five annual premiums, an equal rate of abatement will be
made to every Member of the Society throughout the conti-
nuance of the assuranee.

SPIRIT of tl►e PUI3LIC JOURNALS

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF

GLOBE.—The Times has made the wonderful disco-
very that " except from their own misconduct, it is impos-
sible to foresee any cause sufficiently strong to break up,
for a long series of years, the recently-formed Adminis-
tration." If their own misconduct is the great danger of
this Ministry, a great aggravation of that danger is thi
professed friendship and officious advice of the Times.
file Times proceeds to borrow from some source, whirl:
it says is Liberal, a hostile character of the late Ministry,
anti a tribute to the strength of the present. The actual
numerical strength of the present Government is no mat-
ter of question. But, notwithstanding their 91, it ap-
pears, tests the Times, that " a slight degree of disquiet
and fear" is entertained by some of their anxious friends!
" It is said by such, that instead of postponing the
consideration of the factory question to a future day,
it would have been better had the leaders of the Cabinet
been at once prepared to say that something effectual
should be done. It is also remarked, that had the Cabinet
contained rather fewer of the earnest partisans of the
New Poor-law, and one or two more of those statesmen
(such as Lord Granville Somerset) who are known to be
desirous of an extensive change in that measure, more
confidence would have been felt on this point."
The party now in power, or we are much mistaken,
wilt soon find its past misconduct in the desperate quest
of popularity not less effectual for embarrassment than
the future misconduct feared by the Times. Something
effectual must be done on the factory question ! Some-
thing effectual on the Poor-laws ! Effectual to what
end ? To restoring prosperity to our manufac-
turers ? To providing that their half-employed and
half-fed opsrativcs shall have bread /to eat ?Ohno !
—but restricting the number of hours during which
they may work their steam-power—a restriction which
(as affecting adult labour) no manufacturing country
thinks of imposing, and which, as regards infant labour,
we have imposed already ! May we suggest to Lord
Ashley the expediency of extending his scope of symp-
tom-legislition—(legi§lation for curing the symptoms of
pressure on industry, without descending to the source—
and propo.sed on purpose to evade the demand for deal-
ing with that source)—may we suggest to the Noble
Lord to examine how many various forms of overwork
in agricultural as well as manufacturing districts—are
camel by the necessity of working harder fur dear, be-
caus scarce, bread? May we suggest to him to try to pro-
hibit task-work and over hours in all employments? Every
body knows that, in dear years, there is as desperate
competition, in the rural districts, for a pittance of extra
wages, purchased by overwork, as in any department of
manufacture, manual or mechanical. There is an equal
necessity, in all employments, to earn more, in order to
pay more for bread. Thus the labourers who contrive to
retain employment diminish it for others, and overwork
themselves. All cannot have bread enough ; some over-
task themselves for it ; some throw themselves on the
parish. And then, forsooth, something effectual must be
d she with the Poor-laws ! Once more—effectual to what
end? To the end of enabling the rate-paying classes
to afford to support, without labour, those whom
they cannot afford to support in recompense for
their labour ? Here again, the phenomena are the
same in rural as in town districts. The able-
bodied are thrown on the public, because private
employers cannot feed them. But the public is nia-:e
up of private men. How then should the public be
able to feed them ? When there is food enough for
every body, there is work enough for every body too, as
has invariably been experienced in years of plenty,
though such years, owing to our vicious Corn-law, have
been ruinous to farmers, while every other class was re-
juicing in abundance of food and employment. When '
there is not food enough for every body, there is not
work enough for every body. The basis of all em-
ployment, and the essential wages of all labour, is
.li:ed. When employers can give food, they can give '
employment to the labouring masses. When food '
bccumas scarce (or dear, which denotes scarcity) em-
ployment becomes scarce in the same proportion—and
the labour of those employed excessive. There, Lord
Ashley I—take these rudiments with you in your Corn-
law crusade against steam-engines. Make your views
a little larger, my Lord!—do not fancy factories com-
p ise all over-work. The causes of over-work are
full as rife in poor men's cottages as the mills
of capitalists : those causes are not to be re-
moved by Acts of Parliament against hours of
toil, but by repealing Acts cf. Parliament which stint
the bread that toil purchases.
STANDARD.—The late political change has, it mnst
be confessed, something of the character ot a restoration,
which the sticklers for rebellion are accustomed to call
the worst kind of revolution ! The similarity, how-
ever, scarcely goes below the surface 1 for in the happy
improvement we have just witnessed, power has not
changed hands among the essential members of the So-
vereignty—the Crown has gained nothing upon the
aristocracy or the people—the people have usurped
nothing upon the aristocracy or Crown ; each
of the great estates of the realm retains its
proper position. All that has occurred is, that
the people have thought proper to pronounce more
emphatically than before against a bad system
of Government. But though there is this obvious and
essential difference between a counter-revolution and
a mere political re-action such as we have witnessed,
still there is enough in common between them to
make it worth the while to inquire why " restorations "
are commonly so unfortunate ? The inquiry need not
be a long one ; we have only to reflect upon the natural
result ot unreasonable importunity on one side, and
ingratitude on the other, to see that great care is
necessary to obviate disunion or failure as the effect of all
great re-actions. They by whose aid any individual or
party arrives at power, naturally conceive that they have
established a substantive claim of gratitude upon those
to whose success they have contributed. This, however,
is not strictly just. The success of principles of good
government is the only legitimate object of polictical con-
test. A man of rigid principles will scarcely embark in
public affairs with any other end even possibly in view,
because he knows that the honest politician will be an
uncompromising politician, and that the uncompromis-
ing politician, except his pretensions are of the highest
order, must count upon what is called ingratitude, but
what is really a necessary policy. As political arrange-
ments now always terminate, the uncompromising men
are properly thrown overboard ; and they have reason
to rejoice that it is so ; because thus sound principles
have the most disinterested attestation—while they thus
are found to present no obstacle to the amicable accom-
modations which, in the imperfect state of society that
exists, are so often the necessary solutions of difficulties.
COURIER.—It were impossible to imagine a concur-
rence of circumstances more gratifying or more propi-
tious than that which attended the formation of the pre-
sent Cabinet, and stamped upon it the impress of solidity
and duration—an impress which each subsequent event
has tended only to render deeper and more definitive.
We do not so much refer to the momentous fact that it
commands majorities in both Houses of Parliament more
numnicalli and morally powerful than the most ardent
advocate oi the Conservative cause could have anticipated,
as to the forcibly esmelusive proofs daily afforded, that its
principles are in harmony with the electoral will, and its
e
basis 0-extensive with iLelectoral body of the nation.
Its Must inveterate and enve2omed opponents attempt
I not tO &nit tit make light of suLL/1 proofs. The now
Cabinet is now hi the, act of pas Sing through the
ordeal wisely appointed the Constitutiun for ascer-
taining, in the estimation of alai' respective consti-
tuencies, the fitness of its individual mcalibssts, as well
aa its popularity as a whole. Already, a certain ticertion
of the re-elections has been decided, and as we write
others are being so, all tending towards the one import-
ant and cheering conclusion, that the present
Government enjoys the confidence and esteem of
all classes and conditions of the people to an
extant unequalled, and totally unexpected previous
to the general election. • We agree with d Morn-
ing Contemporary in the seeming paradox, litsi
really truthful remark, that the danger to which
it seems most obnoxious at present lies in its own
strength, the consciousness of such a fact being
liable to produce carelessness and apathy amongst its
friends, and to expose it to a greater weight of respon-
sibility than attaches twit confessedly weak and totter-
ing Government. For instance, the plausible plea,
which the apologists of the late Ministry find it so conve-
nient to use, that they were obliged to propose, not
such measures as they deemed essential, but such as they
thought passable, cannot avail Sir Robert Peel's Go-
vernment, abounding, as it does, in all those attributes
which incur responsibility in the same proportion as
they confer power, and commanding, as it does, a posi-
tion that gives the most unlimited freedom of action,
and makes its will law. It is because of the remoteness
of all other sources of danger, and of the almost com-
plete absence of other causes of risk, and not on ac-
count of its probability or imminence that we at all
allude to the inherent perilousness of the giant's strength,
convinced as we are that it will be used not violently nor
precipitately, after the giant's fashion, but with calm-
ness, prudence, and moderation.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

...-... _____ ....,...._.._
TIMES.—The acceptances of the Nottingham and
Nottinghamshire Banking Company have been disho-
noured, their London agents having refused to meet
them for want of sufficient funds. This joint• stock bank
commenced business in April, 1834 ; the nominal capi-
tal was 500,0001., and at the end of 1836, since which
date, we believe, there have been no adcitional pay-
ments, the amount of capital paid up was 81,430/. Their
branches are five in number. They had-engaged in a
very extensive business, and a large amount of the bills
which were dishonoured on Saturday, were drawn by a
house in New York. Although the bills were disho•
noured, the London agents continued on Saturday to pay
the notes issued by the bank, which were generally of a
small amount. To day, however, the notes which were
presented in an early part c f the day the agents declined
to meet, requesting the presentees to wait. till the close
of business. The Directors, who are in town, have been
busied during the clay in endeavouring to come to ar-
rangements with various banking-houses, offering to
transfer the agency in case the needful assistance were
afforded. In the course of the day they made remit-
•Ances to their present agents for the express purpose of
meeting their notes of issue, and thus these, it is under-
stood, have been entirely paid off. In the meanwhile
1 the acceptances, which constitute the bulk of their, re-
sponsibilities here, are still unpaid, and to the close of
I business it does not appear that the Directors have been
