CAUTION.

TRS. PARKES (late Bowyer and Parkes,
of Pall-mall) begs to apprise the Patrons of the Fine
Arts who have for so many years been Subscribers to their
Publications, that her late Agent, Mr. James Nickelson, has no
connexion whatever with her present Establishment in Got& n-
square for the sale of these Splendid Historical Works: .
Mrs. PARKES feels it necessary to give this Public Cau-
tion, in consequence of having found Mr. Nickel;on attempting
to tamper with one of her Agents, to obtain from him Mrs.
Parkes' whole List of Subscribers, and thereby to inflict on her
.1 serious injury in reference to her New Work on the eve of
Publication.

?OLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE

MORNING JOURNALS.

The Morning Chronicle observer, with reference to the
Spitalfields silk weavers :—" The silk weavers of Eng- '
land are entitled to demand the exclusion of all foreign
wrought silks from this country, so long as a single English
weaver is unable to secure the fullest employment, at a
601 rate of a ages. The silk weavers are, we repeat, en-
titled to such a measure of protection, for reasons that are
very obvious—for reasons of the highest policy. It is the
inserest of the State that all the labourers in the com-
munity shote.d be fully omployed."—The Morning Ad-
verliser, alluding to Lord J. Russell's statement in the
Commons last night, on the subject of China, says--" So
far as can be expressed in general terms, this ez -
planation is full and satisfactory, and not only those
immediately concerned irr the trade, but all having at
heart the welfare and honour of Great Britain, must
rejoice to perceive the Government—despising the cla-
mour of faction, and the cant of hypocrisy—thus deter-
mined sternly to discharge the high responsibility which
circumstances have imposed upon it."—The Times thus
expresses itself on the subject of the bastardy clauses in
the new Poor-law Bill :—" This is precisely the provision
of the Act against which, as it appears to us, no person of
the least humanity or reflection cut fail to entertain the
most inveterate and unchangeable dislike.!,—TheMorning
Chronicle remarks, in a leading article on the Corn-laws :
" The new Poor-law, argues the Standard, has utterly
failed ; it has not rendered the labourer independent ; it
has not enabled the manufacturer to hold on a steady course
of production ; it has not secured the farmer and the land-
lord. And how should it—we ask in return, or hew should
`ritny thing else produce such results—while the labourer is
robbed by the Corn-laws of a third of his earnings ; while
those laws shut out the manufacturer from the continental
market; and they reduce the agriculturist to the chances
of a gambling transaction, instead of securing to him the
regular returns of honest industry ?"

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We rcoeived the letter addressed to the Master-General of
the Ordnance on feeding cavalry hors,s, but we thought
it should have been addressed directly to Sir Hussey
Vivian ; and as it did Lot contain inforreatio., of a ge-
neral interest, we declined inserting it.

BENEVOLENT FIRE and LIFE IN•
SURANCE, and NATIONAL BENEFIT SO.
CIETY, 351, Strand.
Capital, 250,000/.
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 wealthy, viz.:—
_

Ist. Insurihg their lives in sums from 51. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provisionfor 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
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen'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
hence:orth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could se readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various moeles and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.

" There is scarcely, perhaps, another man in England so well
qualified to undertake a new edition of this great work as the

are full and to the purpose; his preface is written with perspi-

The general use of the pen in literary exercises, is so impor-
tant an auxiliary in the work of a good education, that it has long
been desired that the mere mechanical art of writing could be
rendered easy of acquirement. These books are found to effect
this object completely, and to save incalculable time and labour.
1111
Taught on this plan, pupils do not fall into any habits which
they have to unlearn ; their progress is uniformly onward,
while teachers, being powerfully assisted in all the details at
the pen's point, have more ample opportunities of superintend-
n the right position of the pupil, and the proper holding of 1
o
the pen. Even adults, whose education has been neglected, !
may easily learn to write by the help of these books. The ex-
perience to be derived from the use of a single set of the present
series, will afford satisfactory evidence of the utility of the system.
For a review of the books see " The Sun" newspaper of De-
cember 26.1839.
M
Professional Opinion.—r. Walter Paton, the celebrated
Writing-master, London, says, " I have examined the Copy-

CORN-EXCHANGE.

This week's arrivals of Grain and Flour have been larger
than for many weeks past. The Wheat trade has become so
very heavy that the factors have submitted to a further reduc-
tion of 2s. to 3s. per quarter since Monday last. Barley also
(lull, and scarcely maintained last quotations. In Beans and
Peas no variation. The large Oat supply went off very slowly,
and this article, except for very fine, was ls. per quarter lower
than on Monday. In the Flour trade very little doing.

THE COURT OF CHANCERY.

The rules and orders to be made by the Lord Chan-
cellor, with the assistance and concurrence of the
Master of the Rolls or the Vice-Chancellor, under the
recent statute, entitled "An Act for facilitating the
Administration of Justice in the Court of Chancery,
arc, it is understood, to be promulgated in the en-
suing term, but no rules or orders can, by the first
section of the Act, come into operation until Parlia-
ment shall have sat thirty-six days, it being required
that they shall be laid before it immediately upon their
being made, if it is sitting, and if it be not, then within
five days after its next meeting.
Among the inconveniences intended to be remedied,
it is said, is the abolition of the present plan of taking
" office copies" of the various pleadings and affidavits
in the progress of a suit, and the expense of which
presses with extreme hardship upon a suitor, in many
instances bills of great length having been filed vexa-
tiously, for the purpose of harassing a defendant (it
being compulsory upon him to take an office copy
before he can put in his answer).
By the practice of the Court with respect to affida-
vits, either party intending to use one in any stage of a
suit, for grounding any motioe, &c., is now compelled
to file it, and take an office copy—a mode as inconve-
nient as it is expensive, in many instances the suitor, at
his own cost, making the copy (where expedition is re-
quired), and paying the officer his fee for so doing. By
the 3d section of the Act it is provided, " that the offi-
cers, clerks, and messengers to be appointed, and the
present officers, clerks, and messengers shall receive by
way of salary, or additional salary, for the performance
of their duties, such annual sums as the Lord Chancel-
lor and the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury
shall from time to time fix and determine, and that the
same, and the expense of copying and writing for the
said Court, or any of the officers thereof, shall be paid
awl payable, under an order of the said Court of Chan-
cery, out of the interest and dividends of the Govern-
ment or Parliamentary securities which may at any
time be standing, in the name of the Accountant-Ge-
neral of the High Court of Chancery, to an account
entitled " Account of Moneys placed out for the Bene-
fit and better Security of the Suitors of the High Court
of Chancery," and to an account called " Account of
Securities purchased with surplus Interest arising from
Securities carried to an Account of Moneys placed out
for the Benefit and better Security of the Suitors of
the Court," or either of them. Under this clause
some of the evils complained of are expected to be
destroyed. •

FA LL OF A SUSPENSION-DRIP°

IN INDIA.

It is with feelings of much regret that We announce
a lamentable accident which has just occurred at Ma°
dras, attended with great personal injury to many /1.
fortunate individuals, though, as vet, so far as we hare
heard, with but one loss of life, On Monday after.
noon the 33d Regiment of Native Infantry (or cortaia
companies of that corps) were crossing the Sus Peri;
sion-bridge at Chintandripett, on their way to escort
his Highness the Nabob, and take part in the custon3all
procession to his father's tomb, when one
end thef
great suspension chains at the eastern
the bridge gave way, precipitating the roadwq
and the concourse of persons then upon it (°l3°
01/5
a company and a half of sepoys) into the stream bog.
The crash must have been tremendous, and great Perne
sonal injury sustained by many. We hear that o
Subadar, four Havildars, and twenty-six men were !e'
yerely hurt and bruised, and several more slightly
lae
jut ed ; indeed, had not the elevation of the bridge all,°lo,
the water been so small, and the water itself so sheitie,;
the accident would have been attended with great ass
of of life. The part of the bridge which gave W°l b-elf
the links of the eastern suspension chain,
pass over the friction roller of the nortb-eastern Pt%
Two of the three links have snapped across, artn°,46
examining the fracture it is evident that both, bfu'i'iva
more especially, has for a long time been in a deielo
state, having A crack extending almost through it; far
deed, it seems to us that the bridge has, at some °fray
period, experienced a powerful strain, which had Pat the
cracked these links, weakening them so far, that
pressure of the crowd at once tore awl') the b[rc
maining fibres, and occasioned the whole fa :Id
where t.
to give way. It is a fact of some importance, tebag
one perhaps not very generally known' which
a concourse of people is one of the greatest loads
can b;z. imposed upon any structure, since it brlatgale
vast weight within a narrow compass, and
strain is especially severe in the case of a bodY Iva
tary marching in regular order. We may here Oboe

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Having had few arrivals of English Grain this week,
there has been very little doing in the trade. English
Wheat obtained Monday's prices, and there was a firm
trade far foreign at its former value. Barley, Beans,
and Pease, unvaried. Oats dull on sale, and rather lower.
Flour as last reported.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.
There was a pretty fair trade done ; the supply did not
exceed the demand. Prime Beef was 2d. per stone higher,
the coarser sorts of Mutton were full 4d. lower, but other
descriptions unaltered. Lamb advanced 21, Veal and
Pork as on Monday. Beef, 33. 2d. to 43. Bd. ; Mutton,

COLONIAL MARKET.
These markets were in a dull state. Importers, how-
ever, displayed firmness,
and in prices there was little va-
riation, although there was a large quantity of produce
pressing for sale. The imports were, to a fair extent, from
many parts.

PALACE COURT-(THIS DAY.)

MURRAY V. KIMPTON.

This was an action for goods sold and delivered. The
plaintiff is a brewer, and the defendant the proprietor
of the " Experimental Gardens," Chalk-road, near the
Caledonian School. The amount claimed was II /. 165.,
and the plaintiff having proved the delivery of the
goods, the Jury found a verdict for that sum.

HARRIS V. KIMPTON.

This was a similar action by another brewer against
the same defendant, who, to prevent jealousy between
the two brewers, appeared not to have been very par-
tial in the distribution of his favours.
A verdict was returned for the plaintiff for 8/.

DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 7.—His Royal Highness Prince
Henry has returned in good health from his voyage.
HAARLEM, SEPT. 7.—Letters from the island of
Java, of May 19, continue to give favorrable accounts
of the prosperity of the country. In Sumatra, too, the
Governaient continues to be more and more organised,
but from the nature of the case there are from time to
time difficulties to be overcome.
There is a reconnaissance in the district of Baroos, the
brave Lieutenant. Colonel Boers was treacherously killed
by a musket shot, hut the Dutch immediately revenged
his death by making thi:mselves masters, by a charge
with the bayonet, of two of the enemy's rintings, and
putting all that were found in them to the sword. Lieu•
tenant Bishop behaved on that occasion with great
bravery ; he received eleven wounds, and was promoted
immediately to the rank of Captain.
HANOVER, SEPT. 3.—The operation on the eye of
the Crown Prince was performed this morning. A
bulletin signed by Doctors Jager, Stteglitz, and Span-
genberg, states this, and adds :
" The operation succeeded in restoring the pupil, any
removing the cataract ; but it was not possible to ex-
tract it entire."

Till strength of vision will depend on circumstances ;
the health of the august patient is such as is to be ex-
pected. His Majesty the King has not COMI to the city
this morning, and dined quite alone with the Queen who
has been looking krward with the most anxious expec-
ta!ian to this day.

CIETY, 351, Strand.

Capital, 250,000/.
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 wealthy, viz.:—

Ist. Insuring their lives in sums from 5/. 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
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. 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 be obtained on application at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.
