The advantages offered to the public by the above Offices
are such as result from a course of uninterrupted prosperity,
the fruits of a prudent and economical management for a pe-
riod of thirty-five years.
At the present time so many establishments exist, ♦icing
with each other in the profession of benefits to the public,
which numerous failures, and consequent ruin to many in-
dustrious families have proved to be fallacious, that the Di-
rectors think they will best discharge their duty to the Proprie-
tors and to the Public by a simple statement of the advantages
which have been realised by these Offices.
The COUNTY FIRE OFFICE has not only settled all
claims with promptitude and liberality, but has, from its first
establishment, made large Returns to the insured.—These
amount at the present time to 125,000/.
The PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE has at each septen-
nial period divided thy whole of the profits, subject to a deduc-
tion of about a twentieth part only, among the insured. The
benefits actually secured to lives insured in this Office, may be
judged of by the following Table.

THE VICTORIES OF THE BRITISH
ARMIES.
By W. H. MAXWELL, Esq.
Author of " Stories of Waterh.o," " Wild Sports of the West,"
" The Bivouac," &c.
" This narrative is rapid, striking, and picturesque, Mr.
Maxwell's own experience has acquainted him with the details
of the camp, the march, and the battle, as well as with the
imagery of war, and with the feelings of the soldier in the
various exciting situations into which he is constantly thrown."

of emigration, aim at propagating that condi

tion of servitude.

As such a condition is

equally injurious to the Mother Country and
the Colonies—as every approximation to a condi-
tion of slavery is to be avoided as alike pernicious

to all classes, making the master class even more

vicious than the slave class—we advocate getting
rid of slavery at home before the Government be

called on to engage in grand and comprehen-
sive schemes of emigration to adjust labour and
capital to land, in their due proportions, all over

the globe. To us that scheme seems the object
of creation, and. probably the foredoomed resul

of man's instincts, and not to he accomplished
by his will. It is the great end to which the
principle of population is hurrying forward the
human race; and it is rather the duty of men to

do justice, and love mercy, among one another,
than ambitiously to aim at forestalling the de-
signs of Providence.

It is our painful duty to relate another of those
awful railroad accidents which within the last
twelve months have excited alarm in the public
mind, for the success of these great undertakings,
and caused the deepest affliction in private
families; and it would be some consolation if
we could state that the calamity which has
just occurred near Reading, was one of
pure accident, or a visitation of GOD which no
foresight or caution could avert. Unfortunately,
however, the friends of the killed and wounded,
and the thousands who sympathise with the
sufferers, have no such grounds for resig-
nation. With proper caution it is pos-
sible all the unfortunate persons who
were hurried in a moment into eternity, might
have escaped. After the fatal accident on
the Brighton line from slips of earth,
and considering the vast quantity of rain
that has fallen since, it was the duty
of the Superintendents on every road to order
the engine-drivers to go at a moderate rate,
whenever the trains passed through deep
'cuttings. The fall of earth in this in-
stance, it would appear had taken place
but a few minutes, or perhaps seconds, before
the train reached the spot, and no precaution
could prevent this, but had the train been mov-
ing at a slow pace instead of going, during
a dark morning, at thirty miles in the hour,
such a loss of life could not have taken
place. But this is the least melancholy part of
the horrible catastrophe. The Directors had suf-
ficient warning, from the last fatal accident on the
Brighton line, that there was little or no chance
ofsafety for a carriage placed immediately behind
the tender, with eight or ten in succession ; yet,
on this occasion, all experience and facts were set
at defiance. The truck in which the poor passen-
gers were placed was attached to the tender, a
long line of luggage carriages followed the engine
was forced off the rail, the truck was thrown '
athwart the line, and in a moment was over-
whelmed by the carriages behind, which were
thrown up in the air, and fell with a fearful
crash upon the devoted passengers.' Had the

LONDON:
MONDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1841.

The Morning Post has supplied us with a test
of conduct which cannot fail both to establish the
character of the Tories, and he a wonderful inr
provetnent to morality, considered as a science.
i‘ Mr. CHRISTOPHER'S speech," we are told, "is
a specimen of genuine liberality, which affords a
favourable contrast to the spurious liberality
whereof Whig-Radicals are so apt to boast." We
need not at present describe or discuss the latter,
for which we claim no More credit than it de-
serves, and we shall confine ourselves to analys-
ing. the former.

Its es,ieuce consists, according, to the Post, in
"11 r. CHRISTOPHER'S willingness to make such
changes in the present Corn-law as will lessen
(lower, q,j.) the existing bar to the import of
corn tindcr certain circumstances." He proposes
to lessen this bar, according to the Post, by an
alteration in taking the averages, and by substi-
tuting, for the termination of the sliding scale
in a nominal duty-, a minimum duty of ss. and a
maximum duty of from 203. to 30s. The proof
of the genuine liberality of the Tories, and parti-
cularly of Mr. CHRISTOPHER, lies in the effects
of these two alterations.

Mr. CIIIIISTOPIER'S plan for altering the ave
rages, is to " exclude all the head quarters of
la rge consuming districts, such as Wakefield,
o radon, Liverpool, Hull, &c.," and " to
ratke• up the averages by the sales of both

THE QUEEN DOWAGER.

The most dissatisfactory reports continue to be cir-
culated respecting her Majesty's convalescence. It is
said, and on very good authority, that the late favour-
able appearances in her health have proved quite de-
ceptive, and that they are only those changes which the
treacherous disease under which her Majesty labours
invariably presents. Even her own immediate domes-
tics entertain not the slightest hopes of her ultimate
recovery, and those best acquainted with her constitu-
tion insist that the damp and marshy nature of itidbury,
accelerated in no small degree the tendery:y it evinced
towards pulmonary disease. Het najesty has also,
for a series of years, bees ?subjected to violent attacks
of erysipelas, which showed itself in her face,
and which confined her, at different distinct
periods, for several weeks to the Palace during her
Royal husband's lifetime. Such a moist atmos-
phere as Sudbury is truly inimical to patients afflicted
with that complaint. It canna, however, be denied
that so debilitated is her Majesty by the late illness
that her removal at present might be attended with the
most fatal results ; otherwise the air of her present
residence demands her Majesty's immediate departure
from it. It is needless to add that it is the fervent
prayer of all, without distinction of party or religion,
that those awful anticipations respecting her Majesty's
health may, not be realised. Amongst other reports it
is said that the real state of the Queen Dowager's
health is concealed to prevent it throwing a cloud over
the approaching festivities at Windsor. Such an act
would be indeed truly silly, and by no means very re-
spectful towards the Royal sufferer.—Sunday notes.

The advantages offered to the publie by the above Offices
are such as result from a course of uninterrupted prosperity,
the fruits of a prudent and economical management for a pe-
riod of thirty-five years.
At the 'present time so many establishments exist, vieing
with each other in the profession of benefits to the public,
which numerous failures, and consequent ruin to many in-
dustrious families have proved to be fallacious, that the Di-
rectors think they will best discharge their duty to the Proprie-
tors and to the Public by a simple statement of the advantages
which have been realied by these Offices.
The COUNTY FIRE OFFICE has not only settled al:
claims with promptitude and liberality, but has, from its first
establishment, made large Returns to the Insured.—These
amount at the present time to 125.0001.
The PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE has at each septen-
nial period divided the whole of the profits, subject to a deduc-
tion of about a twentieth part only, among the insured. The
benefits actually secured to lives insured in this Office, may be
judged of by the following Table.

ARMY AND NAVY.

On the Ist of January will be published, the first Number for
1842, of

COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE MA-
GAZINE, and NAVAL and MILITARY JOUR-
N A L, continued Monthly.
The attention of the public, and particularly that of the
United Service, is respectfully invited to this Periodical, which
has now been established fifteen years, and embraces subjects
of such extensive variety, and of such powerful interest, as
mast render it scar;ely less acceptable to readers in general,
than to the members of those professions for whose use it is
more peculiarly intended.
*** Those who may desire to commence taking this Maga-
zine with the New Year, are requested to send their orders
immediately to their respective booksellers or newsvenders.
" This is confessedly one of the ablest and most attractive
periodicals of which the British press can boast, presenting a
wide field of entertainment and instruction to the general as
well as the professional reader. The suggestions for the bene-
fit of the two Services are numerous, and distinguished by vi-
gour of sense, acute and practical observation, and an ardent
love of discipline, tempered by a high sense of justice, honour,
and humanity, and a tender regard for the welfare and personal
comfort of our soldiers and seamen."—Globe.

Having lasso'd two Pegasus-ponies—they bound them
With sunbeams for traces—took stars for their scat ;
And thus, at each step flinging rainbows around them,
They alighted, like sunset, in Marlborough-street !
But there the old Temple they stopped at so often,
Was shut in their teeth !—and 'twas only in spite
Of orders the strictest, they managed to soften
The Porter—and sit in the shop for the night!
But Apollo, who cares very little for sleeping, •
Tried over some " Chansons" that seemed rather new ;
While Momus, who always loved bindings—and peeping .
At pictures and Peers—look'd the Annuals through !
And often, when struck by some discord within it,
Apollo would fling down his song with sneer ;
While Momus cried out with delight ev'ry minute,
" What a gent of a Print !—What a lore of a Peer !"
So they got through the night ;—and next morning they
wander'd
Through all the new streets, and new squares they couldfind;
And though Momus his whole stock of sympathy squandered,
Apollo could scarce find a spot to his mind !
There were altars to Roasen, and temples to Science,
But Poeiy's minarets nowhere arose;
And go where they would, still a look of defiance
Glared on them from some hideous statue of—Prose !

man, who solicited her. M. Dufay, th coi
husband, brought forward a string of fact:
not here be repeated. He quoted a lcitif 4ithialii44:4llo
de Lavalleu in ,ehich she sent a lock of her daughter's

hair, enclosed in au envelope, in which she had ;fitter,
" The hair of your 'Ale girl, who resembles you al-
ready ; I solute you." This packet was addressed to
the lover, asd was intereert.td by the husband. . The
counsel also maintained, that since she had quitted her
husband's roof Madame de Lavalice had continued Ler
guilty conduct, while living in different p'aces in Peris,
and argued that the demand for prov.sion was exor-
bitant.

M. C. LEDRII, counsel for the wife, said that every-
fiing had been done to avoid this open appeal to jus•
lice. M. de LAvall,e had been called to Paris., in hopes
that the affair might have been arranged amicably be-
tween the partie,,. H r contende I that fie ill-cojiduct
of the husband towards htr was the scla can se of ter
giving way to any irregularity of condi et, bt t denied
that ell Vie charges brought were jast. She was a ie-
rniticably beautiful wcmac, and as such was liable to be
assailed by fl ittery ; and, coming from Paris, her dress
and fashionable manners astonished the weak minds 01
the provincials, particularly the feaiLle portion, who
all Lean to imitate her toilette to the great detriment
of fieir husbands' and fathers' finance'. The poor hus-
band at list began to ('cite pity among his ne'ghboure,
and every one was condoling him at his misery at having
marrieds coquette tweed of a homely la-mer's daughter.
Witnesses were then called on behalf of the wife,
who stated that the charges brought against Madame
de Lavallee were groundless, that with regard to one
of the charges of the husband coming home late at
night, and finding a young man concealed in the cup-
board, the real facts of the case were these :—M. do
Lavallce returned home late one night with his imagi-
nation very warmly excited with the quantity of wino
ha had drank. He went im:ta:?cliately to hat', but the
next morning protested that he had seen, on coming
home, the feet of a young man protruding beneath a
cupboard door in his wife's bt.d-rooir. He most likely
dreamed of some representation he had seen at a theatre
during a late visit to Paris.
The Court then retired to deliberate; and in about
an hour return d, and prenounced judgment, condemn-
ing the husb.ln ', M. de Le.va:ler, to a present payment
of 1 50Y w., al an annual allowaneJ of 9001. ; hiving
each of the parties liaerty, however, to bring forward
further proof in support of their rest dive caws.

BANK OF IRELAND - EXTRAORDINARY
AFFAIR. —We hear that an investigation is going on in the
Bank of Ireland on a most extraordinary circumstance which
was this morning discovered to have occurred. It would ap-
pear that on closing the cash room, after business, yesterday,
some person or persons contr;ved to have secreted tht mselves
there, and La I succeeded in breaking open the door of the safe
in expectation of a good booty,' but found themselves impeded
by a second door which resisted every effort to force it open.
The whole affair is involved in the greatest mystery, and, of
course,- has produced great excitement.—Lublin Eveniny
