surance, in their fullest extent, to Policy-holders, and to pre-
sent greater facilities and accommodation than can be obtained

contestably by its extraordinary and unprecedented success.
Among.others, the_following important advantages tray be
enumerated :—. •

the use of this Comp any, from authentic and complete data,
and presenting the lowest Rates of Assurance that can be of-

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.

The sucuss which has attended this Institution, arising from
its extended connexion, and the safe and liberal principles on
which it is founded, have fully equalled, if not surpassed, that
of any similar establishment.
The Capital of the Company, subscribed by a numerous and
wealthy body of Proprietors, affords ample security for all its
engagements, while a rapidly-increasing Premium Fund lends
additional stability to the Company, and gives an earnest of con-
tinued prosperity.
The Company transacts business in every department of Life
and Fire Assurance, in Annuities, Reversions, and Loans.

J. T. CLEMENT, Esq., Actuary.
A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in-
vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so
as to be at all times available.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to
the Life Policies equal to twenty_five per cent. on the sums
paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in
addition to the payment of the annual interest.
The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable
opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu-
rances; parties now joining will be all )wed to participate in
the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for
the whole period.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a ape-
cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower
rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici-
patine. scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE-
MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR
FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for
1,0001. on the immediate paymen! of the premium for 5001. only.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
IAOI., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for

EDINBURGH, FEB. 6.—At the meet____
ing of the
Town Council yesterday, Baillie Thomson declared his
astonishment that he had not, ere this, heard some ex-
pression of indignation from certain members of Council
at the neglect of the interests of our University math..
fested by the present Government in their appointment
of the Rev. Dr. M`Leod to the Deanerythe 01
of
Chapel-
Royal, vacant by the recent death of Dr. 13ryce. They
were not quite so backward in declaring their opinion of
the conduct of the late Government when they appointed
Mr. Bennie to a similar situation. Though assured by
him that the appointment was completed they still .ip-
sisted upon remonstrating with the Government against'
it, if not with any hope of success, at least as they
declared, for the vindication of their 0%11 character.
If, then, they thought it necessary to remonstrate
against the appointment of Mr. Bennie, consistency
equally required that they should adopt the same
course on the present occasion.—(Hear, hear.) Mr
Dunbar said he would candidly admit, that if the ap-
pointment had been made as BailitsiThemson had
stated, it was one which he could not,- consider at all
creditable to the 'present Government
.At the same
Tenn
e
time, however, ho believed that Sir R. Peel, in making
the appointment, was nut aware of the claims which
thatGr Graham,
pm,
as liedom beet Secretary, the Council had upon that fund, or he_ would nut have
made it. After some further discussion it was unani-
mously agreed, on the motion of the Dean of Guild, to
remit to the College Committee to transmit to;Sir James

Tens? CASE OF .TUE CLOTHES br:ALERS IN CUTLER-
STREET. —Yesterday, the cases relating to the transaction
-
of the old ellothes ousiness in Cutler-street, by the Jews
came on for ,
question had .‘ven
edjuci:cation. It will be recollected that the
postponed at the request of Mr. Wire,
who appeared s, S tl. e advocate of' the old clothes dealers,
in order that he might present a petirion, signed by the
inhabitants, to the e(3ommissioners of Sewers, by whose
directions two dealeri were taken into custody on the
26th of August, under a:l. Act passed in the 4th year of
the reign of George the Fourth, for having 7caused ob-
strik,'ens and prevented thsl free passage of the.footway
of that st:eet.
Leery anti Josephs, the defendants, appeared to answer
the charge. Mr. Tyrrell, the Solicitor for the Commis-
sioners, akepeared fur the prosecution. 31r. Wire attended
for the dete'ndants, and pleaded very energetically for
them throw+ the whole of the details. The cases came
on separately.
Richard Wrainch
stated that he appeared against Levy
for having obstructee l
the public highway by selling
clothes on the day stater
,above:.
refused,inCu t lear -t stthr eee t.
time Levy Witness
desired him to go away, but .
il
had the clothes on his arm, ante was hawking them about.
After a protracted familiar eon.-ersation on the charge
between Mr. Wire and Mr. Tyrrell, the latter for the
prosecution, and the former for the defence, the RE-
CORDER happened to enter the Justice-loom, when the
LoaD MAYOR asked his opinion.
The RECORDER said that the refusal to go away at the
desire of a constable, when a crowd was present, was al-
ways held to be tantamount to concurring in whatever
the crowd was doing, and in the cases before his Lord-
ship, it was quite evident that the crowd was obstruct-
ing the way, and therefore violating theAe-A of Parliament.
The LORD MAYOR—I am quite satist2ed that lam
right in convicting the two defendants, and I fine each of
them ss.
Mr. Tyrrell—l shall upon every future o."'oasion go
for the full penalty of Si. for each offence, an,) I trust
that your Lordship will not hesitate to inflict that ,fin o.
The LORD MAYOR (as our Reporter understood.. his
Lordship) said that he should certainly inflict the fin...
penalty upon the proof of every future violation of the law.
It is sincerely wished that the clothes dealers will not
persevere in obstructing the free passage of the street,
for the Commissioners, who are certainly armed with the
law, are resolved to prosecute in every instance.

TO RICHARD COBDEN, M.P.
Mr DEAR COEDEN—In The Sun of yesterday, I ob-
serve a letter from thyself, also one from our mutual
friend Sydney Smith, both addressed to me, in which
you plead " not guilty," on behalf of the Anti-Corn-law
Logue, to the charge of having relaxed from their
forts in pressing the total and immediate abolition of the
Corn and Provision Laws. I asked for this explicit and
public declaration, as much for the satisfaction of others
as myself, and if, by going into court, before an upright
Judge, and an impartial jury, I could convict a majority
of the League of a dereliction of principle in what has
passed, even from their own organ, 1 have no disposition
to do so, as I can make great allowance for the strong
temptation to which many of them were latterly ex-
posed ; and lam willing to accept your explanation,
especially with a guarantee for the faithfulness of the
League in future, from two such able and leading mem-
bers of it.

The money which I conditionally promised shall,
therefore, be paid on application. Although " some
Association, whose object is, by peaceable and Christian
means, to secure such a representation of the people, as
the golden rule of • Doing to others as we would they
should do unto us,' entitles them to claim," should
afterwards prove a case in equity against me for a simi-
lar amount. If the conclusion of my letter conveyed
the impression that I despaired of the people obtaining
justice, it was not so intended ; for I believe that, with
the blessing of Providence on their united and peaceful
efforts there is a greater probability of it than there
ever was, and there are no doubtful indications that the
conduct pursued by the supporters of monopoly is rapidly
accelerating the period; but whether the abolition of the
Corn-laws, and the redress of their other heavy griev-
ances, will be effected through the representatives of the
present constituency, remains a problem yet to be solved,
and upon this point I am not prepared to retract the opi-
nion I gave in my last letter.—Very respectfully,
Birmingham, 10th month JOS. STURGE.
, 6th, 1841.
NOTE.—Perhaps I ought to have addressed both this
and my former letters to our friend J. B. Smith, as
Chairman of the League, but I understand he is now on
the Continent.

A letter from Naples gives the following ac-
count of an extrrordinari case lately brought before the
Criminal Tribunals of Sorrento and Otranto. In the
former of these towns lived a family, consisting of a
man named Hieronimo Pascolo, his son, Gasperino, aged
31, and Nunziata, the wife of the latter, a woman of 19,
of such rare beauty, that several painters of Rome had
visited Sorrento for the purpose of painting her portrait,
and introducing it into altar-pieces for the churches.
These three persons were living in great harmony,
until a friend of the husband insinuated that Nunziata
was faithless. Gasperino resolved upon ascertaining
the truth or falsehood of this charge, the denun-
ciator having been unable or unwilling to point out
the . party for whom the wife had sacrificed her
honour, pretended that he was going on a journey
for several days, and secreting himself when his
wife imagined that he was absent, entered her bed-
chamber at night. Here he saw Nunziata in a sleep,
which appeared to him to be that of innocence, and he
was about to retire, all doubt and jealousy removed,
when she suddenly awoke, and left her bed. The hus-
band placed himself in such a situation as not to be seen
by his wife, and watched her movements. She left the
room, followed by Gasperino, grasping his dagger
and entered the bed-room of her father-in-law. Gas-
, perino, convinced by what he had witnessed, that
In§ own father was the criminal who had poisoned
is"doinestic peace, r ushed upon the guilty pair
nd stabbed ' them both. The father died im-
mediately cand Nunziata gave no sign of life.
Gaspering,j)Aen went and delivered himself up to
the officers of-justice, avowing what he had done. He
was tried bY the Criminal Tribunal of Sorrento, and con-
demned to death on the ground that he had acted with
premeditation, although the wife, who had recovered
from her wounds, admitted her criminality, and de-
clared that she had merely married the son in order that
she might have more frequent opportunities of inter-
course with the father, with whom she was in love. On
an appeal to the Supreme Court of Naples the sentence
of the Criminal Tribunal of Sorrento was confirmed, but
the law offiers of the Crown took some legal objections,
and demanded that both decisions might be reversed, and
a new trial granted. This was done, and Gasperino
being brought before the Tribunal of Otranto, was ac-
quitted. We are informed, however, that his mind had
received too severe a shock for him again to renew his
relations with the world, and that he has entered a con-
vent of Trappists, with the intention of devoting the
remainder of his life to prayer.
A dinner, to celebrate the birth-day of the
venerable Lord Rolle, will take place at Exmouth on
the 18th instant, on which day the Noble Lord attains
the great age of 91.

The Ilandelsblad of Amsterdam says —P In
•
consequence of the resignation of M. Varstoik Van
Soelen, and the n
M_ . 0n..-acePtation of the Portfolio of Fo-
reign Affairs by Van Zuylen Van Nyevelt, it has
been offered successively to several persons, who have all
shown themselves little inclined to accept it, unless cer-
tain preliminary stipulations should be agreed to. A re-
port is current that the budget will be withdrawn.
FRAUDS IN ,THE POST•OFFICE.—Within the
last three weeks, we have been informed some serious
frauds have been committed in the Post-office at Glasgow
or Edinburgh, by the breaking open of letters containing
bills or bank drafts, and the abstraction thereof. The
Post office authorities, it is stated, are making a rigid
investigation into the matter, and we trust the guilty
party or parties will be discovered.
Mr. Sill, of Lincoln's Inn-fields, and Mr. James
Hodgson, of llegent-square, both members of the legal
profession, appeared in custody yesterday at Bow-street,
before Mr. Twvford and Mr. Jardine, on a charge pre-
ferred against Mr. Concannen, the partner of Mr. James
Hodgson, of having provoked a breach of the peace. The
caase of the quarrel did not transpire, but one of the
fiery combatants, Mr. Sill, was bound over to keep the
peace, having provided as his securities Mr. Sheridan
Knowles and Mr. B. li._Horne. No notice appeared. to
have been taken of the other gentleman.
Lord Howard dc Walden is coining home in con-
sequence of the sudden demise of his brother, the Hon.
Mr. Ellis, who lately died of the yellow fever at Jamaica.

Chamber of the. States General on the sub.) tif 14' '
Budget. The basis assumed by the Government for cal-
, cuintieg the neat produce of the Dutch East India
oi=
----„,....,,,_eer-... „e-e -----eeeee sessions, has been, it seems, the colonial harvest in 1840.
On this assumption, the neat produce during the years
1842.3 is estimated at 66,979,648 -florins; out of which
there would be an annual payment of the follon ing sims:
—For colpnial expenses in the.raother, country 9,075,800
florins, for the remittance of silver specie, 9,500,000 flo-
rins, for - the remittance -of copper• -fit for coining
1,611,111 flierins, for the remittance of goods and pro-
visions 2,500,000 florins, and for probable payments in
India 5,700,000- florins, making altogether 1438 5,911
florins or 28,773,822 florins for the two years.
Besides these charges, there will be for in:ere.st
and reimbursement to the Society of Commerce, in 1842
for 1841, the sum of 5,000,000 florins ; in 1843 for
1842, the sum of 2,500,000 florins ; and fur dividends on
the East India debt (New 5- per - Cents.), during both
years, 19,600,000 florins, making, in addition to the
other charges for thetwo years, 55,873,822 florins, which..
deducted from the amount estimated as the neat pro-
duce, lerqes the sum of 11,105,826 florins, or about
5,500,000 florins per annum, as the remainder of the East
India produce. The Dutch Government have promised
to lay before the Chamber at an early period a new
tariff, which is to give an increase to the revenue of
500;000 florins per annum. The law of last December
on the sugar duty has answered so well, that it hai pro-
duced an increase of 195,662 florins. A property-tax is
regarded by the Government almost as an impossibility.
POST.— We are sorry to have to notice that some
further difficulties bare been experienced in the tallow
trade. Besides the two houses alluded to the day be-
fore yesterday, as having been obliged to ask for time,
and who have since stopped payment, we hear to-day
of the failure of two other houses. In consequence of
these mishaps the trade is all at once reduced to a state
of total stagnation, and the article has, for the moment,
ceased even to be quoted,' The embarrassments of the
firms referred to are not understood to have been brought
on by any recent speculation, as has been stated, but to
have resulted entirely from the heavy operations of last
year, and from the impossibility of taking up the accept-
ances given at a long date for losses then incurred.
The tea market assumed a different complexion
this morning as soon as the particulars of the late
events in China became known. It was now dis-
covered that Canton bad not been " evacuated," as
the heading of the telegraphic despatch received
i yesterJay seemed to signify, -but that Captain Elliot had
retired his forces from Canton and the river under cer-
tain conditions, and upon the payment of a sum equal
to about 1,200,000/, sterling, as also that the British
were at Hong Kong planning further operations to the
northward; the Canton affair being considered an iso-
lated case. The dealers yesterday thought that net ha.d
really possession of the provincial capital, and that we
were for'the future to trade on an amicable footing;
whereas they now learn that Canton had purchased its
emancipation for a sum of money, namely. 6,000,000
dollars; and, as no stipulation had been wads for the
continuance of our commercial relatiOns, no measure
taken in fact beyond the threat of a blockade, in the
event of any interference to our prejudice, the opinion
of an average season's supply, which the last mail pro-
mised, is materially weakened. An advance of 2d. to
3d. per lb. has accordingly been paid upon the closing

BRUSSELS, OCT. 3.—The Precurse.ur of Antwerp says,
" It is with great regret that we lvtve to announce to-
day, that one of our first mercantile houses, that of
Messrs. J. C. and Co., has just been obliged to stop
payment. The esteem which is enjoyed by the head of
this house, authorises us to announce that this affair will
be settled by an amicable arrangement."
We are assured a very serious dissension manifested
itself at Luxemburg, between the Prussian garrison and
the inhabitant: of the city, when the news of the new
,rl,O irritatino of the Prussians is said to have. beencaused chiefly by the address of the magistrates cf 10
city, in which they congratulate his Majesty on having
relieved the province from foreign domination.
At the moment when the proprietors of our coal inine;
complain of the low prices of coals, we call their atten-
tion to the important contract which the French Govern-
ment has announced to be taken by tenders on the 30th
of November. The quantity required is no less than
18,000,000 killogrames of coat.
" The Austrian Government," says a letter from
Vienna of the 16th of September, " has formed the,
gigantic plan of building at the eastern extremity of this•
capital, on ground whic is wholly unproductive, a new
town, cioable of containing £O,OOO inhabitants, and
which is 'to be provided at the outset with all the requi-
site public buildings, such es churches, residence of the-
Governor, :Court of:Justice, Exchange, Theatres, Mu-
sdin, &c.

This town is to called Ferdinandstadt. The plans
are already made by the Chevalier Forster, arcllitect of
the Court, who, before he submits them to tho Govern-
ment, intends to communicate them to the principal Aca-
demician of the Fine Arts in Europe, with a revuest to
give their opinion.

1832, as a consequence of those vicissitudes in business
to 1% hich all mercantile men are exposed, has within
these few days :called his old creditors together, and

hermit sterling integrity,
