patches committed to the especial care of a messenger, from
the Colonial office, and of letters and newspapers an i•mense
number. So important was the news considered of the pro-
ceedings in Parliament relating to Canadian affairs, the war
with China, Sicily, &c., that the London morning papers of
this day were received by extraordinary express, and amvedrii
half-past two o'clock, having accomplished the distan i

LONDON:
TUESDAY, APRIL 2s, 1840.

As moralists, the Tories sad bunglers. The
wolf in the fable wore not the sheep's disguise half
so awkwardly as do the Tory journals au affected
regard for peace with China, while they are en-
deavouring to goad this country on to a was with
the United States. They would be mightily well
content, if we may believe their declarations of last
week, to sacrifice three millions sterling to maintain
pacific relations with China on the terms proposvd
by the High Commissioner ; but they are almost
frantic at the bare idea of sacrificing 200,0001.
to establish the basis of a lasting and honour-
able peace between Great Britain and the United
States. In China, if required, they would per-
form the nine prostrations before the statue of the
EMPEROR—they would sign an opium bond,
voluntarily forfeit:mg the lives of ships' crews, and
the loss of the vessels and cartzoes, on a quantity of
opium, just equal to seven eighths of two ounces,
being found on board by a Chinese Custom-house
' officer (who might very easily contrive to secrete
five times this quantity on his own person, and thus
be always in a condition to confiscate any vessel
unless largely bribed)—and they would give up., to
certain death all suspected British vileleatostrsea;lf

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

LIVERPOnL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 27. ibis day's
;ales are 4,000 bales, 200 of which were taken for expor.
,ation, without any alteration in price since our last quo-

Arrivals this morning by the French mail—Ship letters
from Madeira, Mauritius, Jan. 18, Madras, Jan. 19, Cape,
Feb. 29.

We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers of Feb.
29, from which we extract the following :
" In his Excellency's reply to the Stellenbosch Memo-
rial, given in our last, every point contained in that Me-
morial appears to be met in a most satisfactory manner.
If the wine and corn farmers cannot procure labour for
money they are much to be pitied."
Front the frontier we have again nothing of importance.
We mean, no depredations. It will be seen by an extract
below from the Colonial Times, that the conduct of the
Coffee Chiefs at their recent interview with the Licute-
nao-Governor has been very much exaggerated.
We arc happy to learn that the report noticed some time
ago of al,: death of Sir A. Oliphant, Chief Justice of
Ceylon, turns out to he unfounded.

Since Thursday last we have had three or four of our
hottest days at the Cape. _ .

( From the Zued 4fr.
PGriT NATAL, FED. 2 —(Extract.)--... I expected a
letter from you since your departure. Nothing has oc-
curred, except that the English troops have left us,
that the Council had immediately stt;tioned some of the
burghers at this point, awl that a ra.st office has been estab-
lished ; therefore if you come here with merehaticlize, you
will have to pay a duty of 3 p-r cent. Many new inhabit-
ants have lately arrived at Boseheman's Rand, belonging
to the party of Burhner. Many other parties have also
arrived, so that our force is becoming pretty strong. The
new election has taken place, and 24 members have been
chosen by a majority to rule over us ; and I have great
satisfaction in stating that they consist of the most fit per.
:ions amongst us, and there is now a prospect that things
will go on -better. The Cammando hag m trehed against
Dingaan, and is about 500 strong ; and we now trust
there will be an end to everything unpleasant. Panda
has joined our Commando, but his people have gone to
place themselves in the rear of Dingaan's chief General
Tambousa. Panda is our friend, but we do not trust him
much. I intend to make a fine tour to the Amapouda
Chief Faker. I have been chosen by .the Council to go
thither, to make some arrangements with Faker, especially
as to the boundary ; but my journey is postponed, because
Faker is waging war with Capany. We also intend to go
to Pietermawritzburgh within a short time, and to estab-
lish ourselves there."
London, England, 1840-04-28

EXTRACT.

" The secret of our marriage (that is to say, of your
daughter Augusta Murray with me) I could have
wished myself to conceal till when the minds of my
Royal parents (as well as the public) could have been
prepared for it, for which I was employing my utmost
endeavours."
The cause of the second marriage by bans in the great
Church of St. George's, London, must now be given :
it is assigned in four different Documents with an in-
terval of seven years between their dates.
" The motive of my wishing to have it (the marriage)
performed again proceeded from a fear lest the legality
of our child's birth should be disputed, and which for
my part I shall never hesitate a moment owning." By
a reference to Document E we find—
" I was recalled to England, when, for fear of any
difficulty being made as to the legality of my child's
birth, I caused myself to be married a second time."
In Documents F and G, two wills, one executed in
Berlin, Sept. 15, 1799, the other in London, in De-
cember, 1800, we find the following words :
" That for greater security, and not from an appre-
hension of the first being insufficient I again performed
the ceremony of marriage with my said wife," &c.
I will now request your attention to the following
reason, which is given by the Duke himself, for writing
the letter (Document E) to the Learned Advocate the
Hon. Thomas Erskine : remark, the two marriages of
the Duke were in 1793, and this Document is stated to
have been despatched Jan. 30, 1798, three days after
the birth-day; on which his then Electoral Highness had
completed his 25th year.
" The time being now come when, by the laws of my
own country, I am allowed to stand forward and
claim my wife, I apply to your kindness in order to see
that justice done me in the sight of the world," &c.
Thus, we perceive that the Duke entertained the dis-
position of mind, through a vigorous prosecution of
such claims, to repeat his assertions of his marriage
both by word and act.

a As the object of this case is only to remove all uncer-
tainly as to my status in Hanover, when speaking of my
illustrious father, I give him that title, which was his in
1794, as the son of the Elector of Hanover, accordinm to
R ethmeyer's Bransischiveigische and Luneburgische
. tom 2, page 1,337, and also according to Pfeffinger.

DOCUMENT A.

As this paper is to contain the mutual promise
of marriage between Augustus Frederick and Augusta
Murray, our mutual names must be put here by us
both, and kept in my possession.
It is a promise neither of us can break, and is made
before God our Creator and all-merciful Father.

" On my knees before God our Creator, I, Augustus
Frederick, promise thee, Augusta Murray, and swear
upon the Bible, as I hope for salvation in the world to
come, that I will take thee, Augusta Murray, for my
wife, for better, for worse—for richer, for poorer—
in sickness and in health—to love and to cherish till
death us do part—to love but thee only, and none
other—and may God forget me, if ever I forget thee.
" The Lord's name be praised. So bless me! so
bless us, 0 God, and with my hand-writing do I,
Augustus Frederick, this sign, March 25, 1793, at
Rome, and put my seal to it and my nano
AUGUSTUS FREDERICK."
(COMPLETED AT ROME, .Aratr. 4, 1793.)
OBSERVE—The above is in different coloured ink,
and written with a different pen from what precedes or
what follows ; it is an evident insertion after the solemni-
zatio n of the marriage.
Then follows Lady Augusta's promise to take the Duke
Augustus for her husband in exactly the same words as
those used by the Duke himself.
' The attention of the learned Jurisconsult is requested
to the following circumstances :-
Ist. That the idea of the written promise originated
with the Duke.
2d. That the words " Completed at Rome, April 4,
1'193," appear, from having been written with a different
pen and with different ink, to have been inserted by the
Duke after that solemnity had taken place, which had
been vowed upon the Bible.
By the different Documents it is evident that the
first marriage was intended to be a clandestine marriage.
By a reference to Document D we find reasons for such
a wish, and they speak much in favour of both the judg-
ment and prudence of the illustrious writer.

LIGHTING OF THE HOUSE OF

COMMONS.

Last evening, Mr. Gurney made an experiment of a
new adaptation of, his " Bude Light" to the lighting of
the House of Commons. It was impossible, in the im-
perfect state of the preparations, to form any judgment
as to the comparative merits of the new arrangement and
the former plan, which was unaccountably made to give
way to what has been facetiously called the " gentleman's
light." There certainly seems to be an ample provision
in Mr. Gurney's present apparatus for a clear, well-
distributed, and inoffensive light ; but we must wait
to see it in full operation for some nights before we can
undertake to decide upon its merits.

THE LATE CAPTAIN WILLIAM

BURNETT, R.N.

The following is the copy of a letter which
Admiral Sir Edward Codrington addressed to the
different officers commanding the Engineers, Artil-
lery, and officers of the 58th Regiment, after the
funeral of the above gallant and lamented officer :
" Admiralty House, Dockyard, Portsmouth,
" April 23, 1840.
" Sir,—My mind is strongly impressed with the
very gratifying manner in which you, and those
under your professional authority, responded to the
call which I confidently made on you, to assist
with your presence, in conjunction with those of
his own corps, in doing honour to my late highly•
esteemed brother officer, Captain William Burnett.
I therefore take the liberty of offering you my most
sincere thanks for your kindness ; begging you will
have the goodness to express the same feeling on
my part towards your companions.
" I am sure you will agree with mc, that atten-
tions like these tend strongly to produce the har-
mony so essential in smoothening the difficulties to
which we are exposed in our joint services, and
thereby greatly to promote the welfare of our com-
mon country.
" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" Your most obedient servant,
(Signed) " EDWD. CODRINGTON, Admiral."

FIRES.

A fire, which at one time threatened serious conse-
quences, broke out on Friday last, at the copper-plate
printing establishment of Mr. Hawkins, in Whittle-
bury-street, Euston-square. The men had been en-
gaged in taking impressions from the large engraving of
the " Sacking of Ba:ing House," which is on.the eve
of putilication, seventy of which bad been hung up to
dry, at the hour they left the premises for dinner. In
ten minutes afterwards the room was discovered to be
in flames. With great difficulty the plate in question
was preserved uninjured, but the whole of the impres-
sions were totally consumed, together with other valu-
able property of a similar kind: No further damage
was done. the cause of the fire has not yet been
discovered.

The premises of. Mr. Higgins, lamp-black manufac-
turer, Baldwin-court, Old-street-road, were nearly de-
stroyed by five, on Saturday morning.
In the course of Saturday, the difierek Fire Insur-
ance Companies received, information of the following
fires .—At Birmingham, on Wednesday night last, the
establishment of Mr. Capella, looking-glass, aquafortis,
and oil of vitriol manufacturer, caught fire, and was
partially destroyed—cot insured. At Eye, in Suffolk,
on the same night, a dreadful fire occurred in the home-
stead of Mr. Case, which raged several hours ; two large
barns full of corn, two stables, four stacks of hay and
clover, and all the outhouses were consumed—the pro-
perty is not insured. And on Thursday last, at Cur-
garrel, in Cornwall, the mansion of Peters, Esq.,
was burned to the ground, the loss upward of 4,0001.
—not insured.

On Saturday night, shortly after nine o'clock, a
fire broke out in the lower part of the premises of
Mr. Antoine Poncou, the French restaurant, No.
43, in the Haymarket, one door from Jermyn-street.
The fire was occasioned from the overheating of a
hot stove in the front kitchen, which set fire to the
bond-timbers and the flooring of the coffee-room above.
Two engines belonging to the County Fire•oifice, the
St. James's parochial engine, and the brigade from
the King-street station, as well as the West of England,
were fortunately in attendance in an incredibly short
time ; when after the firemen had, by ripping up the
flooring and cutting away the brickwork, got access to
the burning timber, they, by great exertions, were able
to extinguish the flames. The premises arc insured in
the Royal Exchange Fire•offlee, as are also the premises
of Mr. Watson, wine and spirit vaults, adjoining.

CIETY, 351, Strand.

Capital, 250,000/.
Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
. .

Tins 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, Insurit,g their lives in sums from 51. 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 10/. to 100/., 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 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 se 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.

I_4IINE ARTS.—We have no doubt it will be
(*ratifying ';o those connected with the Fine Arts, to
learn that the utmost attention has been given to the manufac-
ture of DRAWING PENCILS in Cedar, by Messrs. S.
AIORDAN and CO., whose excellent lead is well known in
their Patent Ever-Pointed Pencils. As they supply nothing,
but the pure Cumberland Lead, those objections so frequently
complained of are entirely removed. We have had the (*rati-
fication of seeing their method of manufacturing the Pencils
from the Native Lead, and can therefore vouch for its
genuineness.
