borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se-
curity, and effecting a policy of Assurance for the amount bor-
rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so
long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party
borrowing LOO 1. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of
a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum-
bered, the suns assured being applied by the Company to repay its
advance. •
The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent
and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably-adjusted

scale.
One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its
benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance
Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With
this ♦'ew, four-fifths of the profits, arising from Policies affected by
parties on the terms of participation, will be divided every three
years, after the first five years, among those who assure for the
whole term of life. The sum BP divided among the Assured to be
applied to the reduction of the annual premium, or added to the
sum assured as !amnia, or paid In present value, at the option of the
Assured.
Parties ma► also effect the' assurance by payment of ene-half only
of the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon
the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rats of 5 per cent. per
annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the
arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a full parti-
cipation of the profits.
For persons who may wish to assure for short perieis, or for the
whole of life, without.participation in the profits, a scale has been
adopted, which is acmoderate as it Gan be rendered consistently with
the interests of the Company. •
The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value
of the policy, on its security.
In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will
be exercised.

Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the
assured afforded by the most respectable established companies.
A Table of Premiums will shortly be published.
TONTINE ANNUITIES..

This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to
the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons,
who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence
as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this
mode of investment ;—by which they will secure a large remunera-
tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company
daring their own lives or the lives of their nominee.
The following is an illustration of the principli of the Tontine An-
nuities 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec-
tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an.
nutty granted is 61. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee
will, during the estitinuenee of all the lives, receive an annuity of 6/. ;
but as the lives drop. the share of the deceased parties will be
divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, each of
whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life but as they re-
spectively die eff, the 1,0001. per year which the deeeased part, re_
ceived will fall into the fends of the Company, for the benefit of the
shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of
subscribers or their nominees.
This mode of investment will piece it in the power of almost every
individual, at some period of life, by prtulently and legitimately ap-
propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in Many in-
stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure indepen-
dence and comfort in their declining years.
Parents may also by these means provide for their children.
Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations.

SUN, Deember 27, 1845.
This work hag now reached the forty-seventh annual edition, and,
to the credit of Mr. Kelly, the proprietor, who has spared no expense
or labour in the compilation, keeps progress with the times, and
marks, more than any similar publication, the great changes which
have taken place, not only in our trade and commerce, but in thh
appearance and extent of this vast metropolis. No other nation
could furnish materials for such a work, and to these is the compiler
partly indebted for sual a mass of useful information, useful, not to
a few classes only, but to the whole community. There Is not one
class in the community to which some of the directions are not
solutely necessary. It extends to 2,074 pages, printed in a close, but
clear and bold type, and is accompanied by a beautiful, minute, and
as far as we have had an opportunity of judging, a correct map of
all the streets of London, with the names of each distinctly marked.
The work does great credit to Mr. Kelly, and we have no doubt that
the excellent manner in which it is prepared, and the information
which It conveys, whl Insure for it universal approbation and com-
plete success.

•
GLOBE, Jai. 17, 1846.
It is only necessary to say of this established work, that It sustain;
the high reputation for accuracy and comprehensiveness which
the former volumes, in Mr. Kelly's hands, at once obtatred for i 4
In fact, to all London residents this annual has been an indispensi
able volume. In the present year several improvements have bee
added.

TIMES, January 9,_1946,

This volume Unlike many others, as It increases in bulk, increases
correspondently in value ; thus every succeeding edition is more
valuable than its predecessors, and the book of 1846 contains mor4
information than the book of 1845. The volume for the curren
year surpasses anything of a'siinilar kind that has ever been offere,
to tke public as a guide-book to the names, occupations, professions
and habitations of the hundreds of thousands of the inhabitants o
London, or that has ever yet been issued from the press. In it,'
whoever has a " local habitation and a name" is noted down—that
is, if he be a housekeeper, an office-keeper, or the 'proprietor or
keeper of anything beyond a furnished lodging or the humble oc-
cupant of an attic. There is an " Official Directory," a " Street
Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a
" Court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a " Postal Di-
rectory," a " City Directory," a " Conveyanoe- Directory," a
" Banking Directory," and a mass of otfieP Matter, ' explanatory or
many things which are ncce sary to be known, and which are net to'
be found collected together and easily accessible in any other volume.
This is the 47th annual publication of the work, which is now so fkilly
establishei in public estimation, for the accuracy and multi-,
plicity of its intelligence, requisite for every class and for overyi,
day, that to be without it is almost an imputation on the commonl
sense of all persons connected with the tradd of London or the
common business of life.

MORNING HERALD, December 27, 1845.
This excellent work, the 47th edition of which has just reached us,
keeps pace with the commercial requirements of the times. The
" Post Office Directory" of some twelve years since, and the " Post
Office Directory" for the coming year present a remarkable contrast.
Then it was confined to a meagre list of names, comprised within a
circle of two or three miles, and might have been put very conveniently
into one's coat pocket. Year after year it has increased in size, and
adde4 various and valuable stores of information to its columns; its
hundreds of pages have grown into thousands, and it now embraces
the metropolis and its suburbs, from north to south, east and west,
and comprises within its voluminous pages of information (new
absolutely indispensable to the merchant and tradesman) an
" Official Directory," a "Street Directory," a " Commercial
Directory ," a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a "Court
Directory," a "Parliamentary Directory," a Postal Directory,"
a " City Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," a " Banking
Directory," and a variety of ether copious lists of Information,
the mere transcription of which would occupy considerable time.
Its list of "Provincial Inns" extends over 31 pages of three columns
eack ; its "Post Office London Metal Directory" over 48 pages,
twenty-eight of which are of four and twenty of two columns each ;
its "Street Directory" 472 pages of th-ee columns each; its
"Commercial and Professional Directory" 504 pages of two columns
with ; its " Trade Directory " 623 pages of three columns each ; its
"Law Directory" 64 pages;. "Court Directory" 110 pages;
" Parliamentary Directory " 36 pages ; " Postal Directory " (most
elaborately conipiled) 67 pages, &c. 'Phis portion of the work has
been much enlarged and improved. It now supplies us with the
hour of delivery of the London letters at each town and village in
the United Kingdom at which there is a Post-office or Receiving-
house, and the time at whick the letter-box for London closes at
each place ; also the distance of each from the post town through
which the London letters are transmitted. We also observe that the
valuable Map of London, which has for some years past accompanied
the volume, and which has been frequently much improved, is ren-
dered'still more valuable in the present edition. The names of each
street are most distinctly printed, and we hesitate not to state that
it is one of the best Maps of London extant. The Work is printed
in a clear bold type. We can scarcely think it requires special re-
commendation, Sro no man who real,' has business to transact can
well do without it.

MORNING CHRONICLE, Jan. 17, 184
The annual volume just published of this laborious and valuable,
work deServes the same meet' of approbation which has been so de-
servedly bestowed upon its predecessors. In mere size, it is con-
siderably larger titan any of them, not only by the introduction of
new information, but in consequence of the yearly growth of the me-
tropolis, to the avocations and whereabouts of whose inhabitants It is
intended to form the " directory." The enormous multitude of facts
which are condensed In the bulky volume before us is really over-
whelming ; yet they are not more than are requisite to make the
dwellers in our overgrown city tluly acquainted with one another's
business and residences. The facts are presented in the same available
form, and with the same attention to accuracy and recentness of In-
formation which characterise the volume for 1845, and rendered it a
msdel of perfection as a directory. We observe some useful ad-
ditions to the contents of the present publication, especially in the
section deioted to the Post-office arrangements, which are so rapidly
becoming extended and complicated under the double impulse of
new railways and the penny postage.
MORNING ADVERTISER, Dec. 24, 1845.
• • -•- - -

This work, published by Kelly and Co., which has now made its
annual appearance for forty-seven) ears, is decidedly one of the most
useful works of the day. It contains an immense amount of infor-
mation of the greatest importance to all in any way connected w'th
the metropolis. It comprises among other infbrmation, an " Official
Directory," a " Stiect Directory," a " Commercial Directory," a
"Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a ',Court Directory," a
" Parliamentary Directory," a "City Directory," a "Postal Direc-
tory," a "Conveyance Directory," and a " Bank Directory." Under
these various divisions will be found masses of information, com-
bining the attributes of accuracy and completeness. The amount of
labour bestowed on the compilation of this work must'necessarily
have been very great, and nothing but a liberal pt tronage from the
public could remunerate the enterprising proprietors for their outlay
and labour. The " Post-offige London Directory" is singularlyeheap,
considering the nature and quantity of the information it contains.
It extends to no fewer than 2,000 large closely-printed pages, in
double and treble columns. All things considered, we look upon it
as the cheapest, as assuredly it is the most valuableand useffil,
annual work which emanates from the press of England. The map
accompanying it appears to us to be much unproved; it is certainly
equally excellent and perfect.
WEEKLY DISPATCH, Doc. 28, 1845.
This colossal guide to the great metropolis is a striking illustration
of thu results of British perseverance properly directed, and British
capital judiciously employed. Fer many years the French " Al-
manack of Fifty Thousand Addresses" was considered one of the
wonders of the world ; but the Messrs. Kelly have achieved a work
which may be aptly termed a wonder upon wonders. Large
though the volume be, the mass of information contained in it is
trely surprising ; and every department is arranged with so much
ears, judgment, and accurate discrimination, that the business of i
reference to-its pages is as plain and simple as to a dictionary sr
lexicon, whose scheme is alphabetical. We have, in this volume,
" Official," " Street," " Commercial," " Trades' " " Law," " Court,"
" Parliamentary," " Postal," " City," " Conveyance," and " Bank-
ing Directories." But these heads only comprise a portion of the ,
information contained in the work. There are other departments
which will be found invaluable to the commercial public. The fol-
lowing extract from the preface should be quoted:—" The advan-
tages possessed by the proprietor are of no ordinary character; the
most important being the means placed at his disposal through the
favour of her Majesty's Postmaster-General. The General Post
letter-carriers, under the direction of his Lordship, collect, each in
his own district, the information from which the volume is compiled.
Te ensure accuracy in such a book, the collection of the information
should be simultaneous ; and hew completely this is effected, is
proved by the fact that an intelligent letter-carrier performs within
twenty-four hours all the duties annually required of him for the
purposes of the Post Office London Directory." We need not
add any recommendation of this work ; Its reputation is established
on a solid basis. '

BRITANNIA, December 27, 1845.
This wonderful annual continues to keep pace with the times,
fast as they move. It now numbers upwards of 2,000 closely-
printed pages, this immense mass of matter being so judiciously
classified and arranged that any item of it can be picked out with-
out the loss of a minute expended in the search. From the con-
nexion of the Proprietor with the Post-office, he is enabled to
collect his information from the most authentic sources, and (a great
advantage) to combine it simultaneously. some objection has been
made to the letter-carriers being employed for this service ; but,
independent of all other considerations, it is certain that the Post-
office must be greatly advantaged by the publication, both Prim
letters being directed more accurately, with this book as a guide,
and from its always being at hand ready for reference in cases of
doubt. The volume has all the merits of its predecessors ; displays,
like them, the utmost care in every department; and as a work of
reference for the merchant, trader, or any person engaged in busi-
ness in London, leaves nothing to be desired. It is one•of the most
remarkable examples of great industry, intelligence, and capital
being successfully employed In the production of a work for facili-
tating the operations of business and extending trading intercourse,
that the age, fertile as it is in ingenious inventions, affords. Of its
kind, it is as near perfection as it seems possible for any work to be
brought.

JOHN BULL, January 10, 1846,

We have so often had to bear our testimony to the extraordinary
merits of this most laborious compilation, its fulness and accuracy
of information, and its consequent value to every one who " lives,
and moves, and has his being" in London, that all we need now do
is to state that, excellent as were the preceding volumes, this one
has received various improvements, which add largely to that pre-
vious excellency. It Is a work of immense care and labour, and of
corresponding utility.
RAILWAY HERALD, Jan. 1846.

The chief featty e of the " Post-office Directory " to men of business
is, that they cannot do without it—it is indispensable, thumbed over,
referred to, day by day, and week by week—a counting-house, in
these times of letter-sending, could do almost as well without an ink-
stand as without a "Directory." We hale made a great many trials
in differert parts of the work, exercising a careful scrutiny, and in no
instance has it suffered under the test.

-
e well-deserved popularity of
RAILWAY ENPRESS, Jan. 1846.
It is scarcely possible for any work to be Tore correct than this,
or more carefully compiled in all its laborious detail. It would be
difficult to find a more comprehensive or more useful work than this
the volume. It is needless to say more than that the book is known
and consulted by every man of business in London.

SOIREE IN HONOUR OF THOMAS
DUNCOM BE, ESQ., M.P. FOR FINSBURY.
Last evening a soiree, got up by the friends and ad
inirers of Thomas Duncombo, Esq., the Member for
Finsbury, and in honour of this genteman, previous to
the commencement of the Parliamentary session, was
held in the large. room of the Crown and Anchor Tavern,
Strand, Thomas Wakley, Esq., M.P., in the chair. At
six o'clock, the hour advertised for the proceedings to
c anmence, about five hundred persons sat down to tea,
of which a considerable number were females. The real
business of the evening, however, did not commence
till the consumption of the edibles, which occupied the
company till nearly half-past seven o'clock, Amongst
the gentlemen pr. sent, besides the Chairman and the
honoured guest of the evening, we noticed Mr. Christie,
Mr. Feargus O'Conner, Mr. Cooper, the Chartist poet,
and other gentlemen connected with the Liberal
movement.
On the tables being removed, the room was thrown
open to t .e public at a low charge of admission, and no-
inietiately after it was filled to excess by parties princi-
pally belonging to the working classes.
The CHAIRMAN, oh order havingbeen obtained, rose to
introduce the bnsiness for which the meeting had been
Called together. He said that he was sorry to say that
they had been disappointed in not having the company
of several gentlemen whose presence had been expected
on the present occasion. There were three gentlemen
rp:eretijcvuedlarnlrite rrosoth whom
f apolo Mr.gy, excusingßarrett, h theeir absence.
Theha
first was from Mr. Charles Dickens, who raid that he
was unavoidably engaged elsewhere, and could not pos-
sibly be present. The next was from Mr. Douglas
Jerrold, who stated that it would have given him real
pleasure to attend the meeting. to do honour to the
public character of Mr. Duncombe, but that he was un-
able to do so from being obliged to be at the office of' a
journal, that he hoped would prove another advocate of
'the rights of the people. The third was from Mr.
Mazzini, who intimated that he had fully expected to be
able to attend, but he had been unexpectedly called out
on business, and'prevented doing so, otherwise it would
have been- his moral duty to be present to pay respect
to that gentleman (Mr. Duncombe); for vindicating his
(Mr. Mazzini's) character last year, from the attacks
of the Home Secretary (Sir James Graham)
in his place in Parliament, in relation to the
shameful and un-English practice of opening private let-
ters for the purposes of foreign despots. The letter
having been read, the Hon. Gentleman went on to state
that the special business of the meeting would come on
in a short time, but the committee who had got up the
present assembly, had seized on the opportunity which
it presented of introducing a series of toasts, sentiments,
or resolutions, or whatever else they might call them,
illustrative of popular rights. The first, which would
be responded to by Mr. M'Gratb, was--
" The people, the only legitimate source of political
power : may they speedily attain to that position in the
state which would enable them to apply their legislative
functions to the welfare and protection of the whole
community."
Mr. WGRATH responded in brief but appropriate
terms.
The CHAIRMAN then rose to introduce the special
sentiment of the night, which was—
" Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, Esq., the eloquent, un-
tiring, and incorruptible advocate of universal justice,
and may his life be long and happy, and his fame im-
mortal."
On this question he would but occupy two minutes, after
which he would introduce the honoured guest of the even-
ing, Mr. Duncombe, to their notice. Before doing so, it
would be his pleasing duty to occupy their time while he
spake half-a-dozen sentences. In the first place, he asked
them to allow him to thank the committee for the honour
they had done him in inviting him to take the chair on
the occasion, and to thank them (the meeting), for the
way in which they had responded to that recommen-
dation. He did not do so from soma idle feeling of ap-
pearing at a public meeting, to obtain any special
notice or consideration, but because he considered it to
be his imperative duty to use every exertion when
called upon for the public good.—(Cheers.) When in.
sited, therefore, to presided over the present meeting, he
came not only without any hesitation, but with glad and
hilarious feelings, in order to give his (Mr. Wakley's)
public testimony as to Mr. Duncombe's conduct in Par-
liament, and to state, that on all occasions he had showed
himself the bold, sincere, ,faithful, and unflinching ad-
vocate and champion of their cause.--(Cheers.) And
he (the Chairman) as one of that House, humble as he
was, had no other wish than to follow in that gentle-
man's footsteps—(Loud cheers)—and most cordially
and unequivocally did he approve, and would second, the
choice they had made.—(Cheers.) It has been the fate
of the people of this country, to suffer from the want
of union and proper guidance. They, ought to have
in Parliament a man who would reflect the image of the
people well.—(Bear, hear.) One who knew their wants,
and who could direct their movements, and enunciate
their will with firmness, honesty, and independence,
and such a man—a man of ability and faithfulness—
is Mr. Duncombe. Under such a guidance they could
not fail. Hitherto the working classes had been a rope
of sand—a bundle of sticks untied and cast over the
length and breadth of the laud ; but if they were
only to a4sert their rights in a united and energetic
manner, he was persuaded their demands would not be
refused.—(Hear, bear.) He had seen Mr. Duncombe
under the most trying circumstances, and had never
seen him fail.—(Loud cheers.) But his energies always
s-eined to rise with the emergency of the occasion.—
(Cheers.) He was ever ready to fight in a good cause,
and he was such a glutton, that do what they would
they never could take the out fight of him.—(Laughter
and cheers.) Boldness was only one el his qualities; but
in addition to this, in his heart there was a home for
every genuine sympathy and feeling. He loved the
people ; and his object was to do them all the good
within the reach of his power. Mr. Duncombe, ever
since his introduction into public life, had gone onward
in the right direction ; every step had tended towards,
and not in opposition to the people. After some fur-
ther observations of a complimentary character, the
Hon. Gentleman concluded by putting the sentiment
from the chair.
Mr. DUNNING, having briefly addressed the meeting,
in terms highly eulogistic'of Mr. Duncombe, read an ad-
dress from the United Trades Association to that gen-
tleman ; also a copy of the same from the females con-
nected with the same body, emblazoned in gold on white
satin.
Mr. DUNCOMBE then rose to address the meeting, and
was received with loud and long continued cheering.
He said, upon that occasion, he could assure them he
felt great gratification in •standing before such a large
body of his fellow-countrymen—men actuated by the
love of liberty, and whose only desire was to secure a
redress of the grievances Under which they laboured.
When he looked and saw himself surrounded by men
actuated by the love of liberty—when he saw that large
room crowded by the honest sons of industry and toil,
called there to honour so humble an individual as him-
self, he felt overpowered by anxiety and fear. Entei-
taining this feeling, that the honour bestowed was far
greater than his merits.—(No, no.) He rejoiced to see
his Hon. Friend and colleague in the chair, and felt
grateful for the manner in which he had been received
on the occasion. He rejoiced, becaue they had fought
together in the House of Commons on behalf of the
people's rights, and he hoped they would yet live to
triumph together.—(Cheers.) There was, therefore, no
favour or respect which they could pay to him, but what
must be equally extended to Mr. Wakley. He thought
they would agree with him that it would have been better,
on the eve of Parliament meeting, for them to have met in
public assembly to express an opinion on the great
question of the day, without reference to individuals.
They would have been more usefully engaged in discuss-
ing the state of the country, and the state. Of public
as himself.—(No, no.) Ffe knew there g

impression abroad that they were to havethgoreahttthese

who entertained such a feeling would be wofully de-
ceived.—(Hear, hear.) At all events, past experience
led him to a different conclusion from those who ex-
pected much from that quarter. The speech would, as
was usual with such royal productions, be full of mys.
tery—confusion worse confounded. He had not been at
Ministerial or Tory dinners, to learn the contents of the
speech, but if any individual might be permitted to pro-
phecy, he would predict it would turn out like
all similar productions.—(Hear, hear.) Her Ma-

she believed there
was a great deficiency in the potato
crop of Ireland ; and that the potato crop of England,
though a little better, was still but indifferent in result
—(Hear, hear)—that the manufacturing and agricul-
tural interests had got to loggerheads ; and that in this
state of matters she looked to the wisdom of Parliament
for an adjustment of all differences.—(Loud laughter and
cheers.) That was something like the speech she would
make. Other persons might think that she would make
allusion to the Ministerial chops and changes that
had recently taken place, but he did not think she would
meddle with them. Least said was soonest mended ;
and on that motto he had no doubt she would see it
most expedient to act. Explanations would no doubt
be made in due course, of the recent Ministerial
shuffle ; but if correct information was wanted of what
had taken place at the palace, there was one person who
might have supplied it he meant the boy Jones.—
(Loud laughter.) In that case, no doubt, he would have
reported that Sir Robert Peel had called en her Majesty,
and stated that he believed that famine. was about to
overtake the country—that the potato crop was bad, and
that something must be done to meet the state of things.
Ho could not get his colleagues to agree with him in the
Measures he thought calculated to meet the exigencies,
and, therefore, he waited on her Majesty, to intimate
the position he was placed in. He, therefore, would
resign. On her Majesty asking his advice, . who
sho should send for, he would say Lord John Russell.
Her Majesty takes his advice, and sends for Lord John.
His Lordship waits on her, and is commissioned to form
a Ministry. At the end of ten days the Noble Lord
returns (as her Majesty suspects) with his Cabinet com-
pleted, when it is found he is in a worse position than the
previous Minister. His advice, is also asked, and he in
turn advises her Majesty to send for. Sir • Robert Peel.—

• he was told, had occasioned considerable excitement in
tf'ie metropolis; although it had-ereafe-d scarcely any nn-
tine in the part of the country where he had been recently
residing. Whatever excitement bad existd here he hoped
had now subsided, for such shuffling was not worthy a
moment's consideration. The only difference was, that
Stanley had gone out, and Gladstone had succeeded.
Although last year Gladstone had resigned without any-
one knowing the reason, although he took two hours to
explain _why he did so.- - His acceptance of office now did
not require such a lengthened explanation.—(Laughter
and cheers.) He would not occupy their time longer
with these ministerial " choppings" and changes. The
Hon. Gentleman then went on to explain, that he did
not believe that Sir Robert Peel intended to repeal the
corn:laws, but merely that he intended to relax pro-
tection a little—to gently unloosen the screw, and let
the country gentlemen down quietly---7(ehee-rs)—
a course that he (Mr. Duncombe) advised
them to submit to as their resistance would be in vain.
The Hon. Gentleman having declared that he would al-
ways stand up for the rights of the labouring classes,
support the principle of a fair day's wages far a fair
day's work, and their political enfranchisement, eon-
eluded a very eloquent address by calling on them to
make use of every exertion to secure their rights, which
as freemen it was their duty to demand, aid as English-
men their birthright to enjoy. '(The Hon. Gentleman
sat down amidst loud and long•continued
The CHAIRMAN next gave—
' " The People's Charter ; a lever by which almost a
prostrate nation can be raised to prosperity and happi-
ness, because alone it insures to all, the liberty a hick
must prove a security against wrong."
The sentiment was responded to by Mr. CLARKE, a ho,
at some length spoke in support of the points of the
Charter, which he described As a working-man's gut's-
lion ; and one to be obtained alone by the exertions of
the labouring classes. He did not agree with Mr. bun-
combe that any support was likely to be obtained from
the members of the League, should they succeed in ob-
taining a repeal of the-corn-laws.
The next toast was—

" The National United Trades Association, for the
protection of industry, and the employment of labour ;
may their efforts to improve the condition of the ope-
rative be crowned with success."

Mr. Ronsost briefly responed to this toast.
" The Chartist Co-operative Land Society ; may the
success that has hitherto attended it, mark its future
career," was next proposed from the Chair ; and spoke
to by
Mr. WREELurt, who stated, that at present this
Society numbered from five thousand to six thousand
members, though it had only been six months in exist-
ance, and had accumulated .5,000/.
The Chairman then gave—
" Oar Parliamentary guests ; may their sympathies
be in accordance with the aspirations of their unrepre-
sented brethren—their efforts to serve the people in the
Commons House of Parliament, result in the destruction
of class legislation ; and may they long live to enjoy
their reward in the gratitude and kindly feeling of
millions whom their patriotism shall have contributed to
emancipate."
Mr. CHRISTIE, M.P., said he was sorry, also, there
were not more members of the House of Commons pre-
sent, on whose behalf to return thanks. He could assure
them that it gave him great pleasure to receive the invi-
tation to attend that meeting, ,and he felt very grateful
for having been honoured with that invitation. He came
there to do honour to him wham in their invitation they
had appropriately named the people's champion ; and
perhaps they would permit him, as well as their Hon.
Chairman, to tell his experience of their guest. He
had now for four years had the opportunity of observing
Mr. Duncombe's conduct in Parliament, where he tried
to judge of men and measures for himself ; and he
always found him foremost in defending the rights of
the people, and trying to extend the people's power and
privileges—(Cheers)—always ready to protect the
poor and friendless from oppression ; always ready to
assist any other Member of the House of Commons in
his endeavours to achieve any object which it was de-
sirable to attain—(Cheers)—giving always an example
of energy to the apathetic, of courage to the timid, and
single-mindedness to the trimmers.—(Hear and eheers.)
Special allusion had been made to his recent memor-
able exertions against that power which, he would not
say was possessed, but which was exercised by the
Secretary of State, in examining their eorrespAdence.
There was a letter read that night from an individual
of whose great virtues he could speak from personal
knowledge. That individual came to this country
driven by tyranny from his native land, and he hops to
find refuge from the oppressors. But he was mistaken.
He found, to his surprise, that all his secrets were made

known to his oppressors in his native land through the
power exerci,ed by the S,Tretary of State in opening
his letters, and detailing them to that foreign state.--
("Shame !") When he found this, he went to the
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Duncombe,) as any one who was
oppressed would go ; and they all remembered his
exertions in Parliament on that subject.—(Chen rs.) lee
regretted that those exertions were not attended with
success. But the fault was not his, and the disgrace lay
with the Government which retained the exercise 6f
the power.—(Hear.) There was another thing in which
he sympathised with the Hon. Member for Finsbury, and
in which he went along with him—he meant his views
as to amending the state of the representation. lie
s4reed with an Hon. Gentleman, who spoke very ably,
that the result of the Reform Bill was a mockery and a
cheat—(Cheers)—and he hoped that the Hon. Member for
Finsbury would give an opportunity in the coming ses-
sion for at least attempting to obtain more power for the
rople in the choice of their representatives.--(Cheers.)
He did not come there to give pledges. but he might say
that lie was prepared in the House of Commons to en-
. . .

.
deavour, in the wards of the resolution, to destroy class
legislation (Great cheering)—to destroy class-legislation
by giving more power to the people and leas to the
dukes in the elections—by having larger' constituencies,
a much wider distribution of the franchise, and giving
the poor voter, whose circumstances might make him de-
pendent on the rich and the great, the protection of the
ballot.—(Great cheering.)

The remaining toasts were respectively as follows :
" A speedy -restoration of John Frost, Zephaniah
Williams, William Jones, and William Ellis, and all
other political exiles, to their country, their families, awl
friends.

" The men of intellect and of heart—Charles Dickens,
Douglas Jerrold, Eugene Sue, Thomas Cooper, and
others—who have given free utterance to the aspirations
and the thoughts that vibrate in the minds of the many
who have, with the eloquence of truth, aroused attention
to the wrongs and the sufferings endured by their fel-
low-men ; who have denounced clearly end emphatically
all who are leagued to do a people evil ; and who have
evoked, in many an hitherto apathetic breast, an earnest
desire to promote the accomplishment of justice, or to
aid the advancement of knowledge and of truth."
" Mr. Feargus O'Connor, 'the fearless assertor of
labour's rights, the uncompromising denouncer of ita
wrongs."

" Thomas Wakley, Esq., M.P., Finsbury's able repre-
sentative. Long may he live to witness the people frve
from bone-crushing poor-law unions ; and many thanks
. .

:o him for the able.and efficient manner in which he has

presided over the meeting.";
These were responded to by Mr. Wakley, Mr. Cooper,
Mr. O'Connor, and Mr. Doyle, after which the meeting
broke up.

SINGULAR CAER OF RESTORATION.—Another
in-
stance of the almost infallibility of art over the opera-
tions of nature, and of- truth over prejudice, occurred
the othert day in the family of a gentleman of bigh.re-
Spectability in the country, and which tends to show, is
a singular instance, the powerful virtues of Rowland's
Macassar Oil. Owing to some cause, not sutfiaiently
accounted for, as is frequent in such cases, a daukhter of
the above gentleman entirely lost her hair, so that she
was obliged to conceal the defect by the aid of a cap
o
and false tresses, After having done forperiod
a of
two years, she was induced by a medical friend to try
the effect of Rowland
Macassar Oil, with a view to the
restoration of her.aair. In the course of one month a
light.aerm_was d, which by constant use of the
oil, (rubbed on with a fine flannel) became in six months
a fine-and healthy growth of hair ! The satisfaction of
the young lady is unbounded.
Sin ROGER DE COVERLEY.—The author of the
highly successful novel " Maids of Honour," of which
a second edition has just been published, has a new work
about to appear, with the promising title of "Sir Roger
de Coverley; a Tale of the Court of Charles II." A
thousand agreeable associations are connected with this
name—associations that at once transport us to an age
of gallantry and romance, of wit and beauty, of the
With
in costume and the adventurous in character.
With a hero -so identified with an age .tegyding such
delightful materials for the historical nWlist, in the
hands of a writer, who has already prove'd himself so
capable of infusing into his narrative the spirit of a past
Century, we have every reason to expect a work of a
Very superior descriktion.

masons, was given last night at the Freemasons' Tavern,
ind there were between 300 and 400 people present. Every
acilityto enjoyment was afforded by the Committee of
Management, the members of which were busily employed
during the evening in attending to the comforts of the sub-
Scribers, and in promoting the general festivity. Many of
the " brothers" present wore their masonic insignia ; and,
the effect of the variegated colours, and glittering order,
belonging thereto, gave a gay and agreeable aspect to the
scene. Adams's band played a long list of quadrilles,
waltzes, and polkas, and the company danced with zealot-is
and untiring activity.
FIRE AT PEMBROKE COLLEGE, OXFORD.—On the
morning of Tuesday, about seven o'clock, a tire was

foing to the TOotns (which had been under repair) to work,
