LLOYD'S SHIPPING

NOTICE TO MARINERS.-NEW PILOT FLAG

AT LISBON.

Admiralty, Dec. 27, 1841.
Sir—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty to transmit to you herewith, for the
information of the Committee for managing the affairs
of Lloyd's, a copy of a despatch from her Majesty's
Consul at Lisbon respecting a new Pilot Flag to be used
at the entrance of that port.
I am, Sir, your obedient, humble servant,
To the Secretary, Lloyd's. J. BURROW.
British Consulate, Lisbon, Nov. 29, 1841.
My Lords—l have the honour to inclose for your
Lordships' information the Diario de Governo of the
27th instant, together with a translation of a notice from
the Captain of the Port of Lisbon relative to the flag to
be in future used by the pilot-boats stationed at the en-
trance of the harbour.—l have, &c., &c..

To Earl Aberdeen, K.T., &c. &c.
(TRANSLATION.)
By the Captaincy of the Port of Lisbon, it is made
public that the two boats stationed at the bar to furnish
pilots to vessels seeking this port, will henceforward wear
a blue flag hoisted at the extremity of the yard, instead
of the pendant hitherto used by them, as the latter may
be confounded with pendants used by them as owners'
signals.

Inspector of the Arsenal, and Captain of the Port.

AGRICULTURAL.

Whortle-berries are now extensively cultivated by a
company in Russia, for the manufacture of wine and
brandy.

The agricultural dinner to the Duke of Buckingham,
at which his Grace will make his annual pro-Corn-law
speech to the farmers of Bucks, is to be given on the 11th
of February.

- LAW AND POLICE,
Mary Ann Gifford was finally examined at Worship-
street charged with committing various robberies in
dwelling-houses, into which she gained admittance under
the pretence of seeking a situation. Not less than twenty
cases were brought forward against her, but the Magis-
trate was satisfied with taking proof on nine only, and
fully committed her for trial. Iler husband, described as
a journeyman cabinet-maker, was also committed for
feloniously receiving a portion of the booty.
At Marylebone, on Monday, James Galley, coachman
to Mr. Ducas, solicitor, Regent's-park, was committed to
take his trial for robbing his master of two ten pound
notes and some sovereigns, in the month of August last.
He absconded at the time, and had not been heard of till
Saturday last, when he was arrested at Taunton.
Mr. Rose, solicitor, residing at 17, Great Prescott-
street, gave information at Lambeth-street on Monday
that he had been robbed of 301. in the course of the
morning in one of the Mile. end omnibuses, and that the
robber, a well-dressed man who sat next to him, had
escaped before he missed the money. Upon this Mr.
Henry, the Magistrate, said that strong suspicions ex-
isted that the conductors of certain omnibuses were in
league with thieves, and shared in the plunder. It appears
also that these worthies, as well as cabmen, are in the
daily practice of paying away bad money in giving
change, and that steps will be taken by the officers of the
Mint to bring them to justice.

The Directors hereby give notice to Members whose Pre-
miums fall due on the sth of January next, that the same must
be paid within thirty days from that date.
The Premiums aro payable Yearly, Half-yearly, or Quarterly,
on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of
October, either of which several days constitutes the commence-
ment of the year to MEMBERS. Persons, therefore, desirous
of entering the Society, AS MEMBERS, on the sth of
January next, should appear, or lodge their proposals at the
Office on or before that day.

So various are the plans now before the public f ° r effecting
Assurance on Life, that it may, at first sight, seem difficult to
make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices
make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium
than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ
in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the following
classification may be made
_ _

Ist. Proprieta'ry Offices, where all the surplus from pre-
miums and other profits is divided exclusively amongst the
Share or Stockholders.

2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions
between Share and Stockholders and the assured.
3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole
of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the assured only.
The Metropolitan, which is of the last class, was established
in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have
at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of adver-
tising resorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appre.
ciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed
36,0001.

In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's af-
fairs, the annual premiums of members of five years' standing
have been reduced forty per cent., and a confident expectation
may be entertained of an increased rate of reduction at no dis-
tant period.

A aplaa of the Society, with tables of rates, may be obtained
on application at the Office.

PUBLIC OPINION.

The object of the principal leading article in the He-
rald is to show that the recent conviction of M. Dupoty
by the Chamber of Peers, must hereafter constitute an
event in the history of France ; inasmuch as it proves
that our neighbours have now, despite the revolution of
July, " a law of constructive treason in operation." The
Herald then goes on to ask, " what have the French
gained by that revolution ?" and adds, " a Government
sufficiently strong to protect the nation against anarchi-
cal principles, in which Government alone there is safety
for France, tranquillity for Europe."
The Times has an article on the subject of Mr. Cob-
den's project of a land-tax, the object of which is to
prove that the whole of his theory about an original title
in the Crown or the State to " certain services or pay-
ments in kind out of the land, and a subsequent reserva-
tion of a rent-charge in exchange fur those services or
payments," is not merely unsustained, but absolutely
contradicted by facts.

The Advertiser observes, in the course of a leading
article speculating on what may, or may not, be expected
from Sir Robert Peel, " we know not what he will do ;
but we are quite certain that he has prepared the public
mind for no great changes on any question; but on the
contrary, everything indicates his intention, as much as
he can, to avoid all alterations and reforms."

The Post affects to reply to some observations that ap-
peared in Monday's Chronicle on the subject of the
present dull and disconsolate aspect of the Tory party ;
and, without denying the fact, simply contents itself with
taunting the Whigs with their " bitter abusiveness,"
which, in the Post's opinion, " indicates a most morose
condition of mind, and a very disturbed state of the
bodily juices."

The Chronicle contains some comments on a remark
made by the late celebrated Mr. Ricardo, to the effect
that country gentlemen have not only a temporary, but
a permanent, interest in prohibitions of the importation
of corn ; and adds, " when we shall have arrived at a
state of things in which the pinching bellies of the la-
bourers will so much increase mortality as to make the
deaths equal to the births, Britain will be the Duke of
'Wellington's paradise."
London, England, 1841-12-29

LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC.

14,763 persons visited the British Museum on Monday,
being a much larger number than on any " boxing-day"
that has preceded it.

3,500 visitors attended the exhibition at the Polytech-
nic Institution on Monday, and the dissolving views had
to be repeated several times.

THEATRICAL.

We are sorry to hear that Mr. Sheridan Knowles is so
indisposed as to be unable to give his lecture on the
drama at the Westminster Institution, advertised for
to-morrow.

We understand that Mr. Balfe's opera of Elfrida will
be represented in the course of the season at the Italian
Opera.

COURT-FASHIONABLE.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex and the
Duchess of Inverness arrived at Woburn Abbey on Friday.
The Members of the Worcester Hunt are about to
give a grand ball, in celebration of the christening of the
Prince of Wales.

The Earl of Wilton arrived in town on Monday even-
ing, from Strathfieldsaye, where the Countess still re-
mains. The Marquis and Marchioness of Douro are also

The Marquis of Conyngbam, accompanied by Lord
Mountcharles, has arrived at Slane's Castle, Ireland.
Lord Walsingham has gone to Paris for the winter.
The Duchess of Buckingham has a splendid ball on
Thursday week at Stowe, in honour of the birth of the
Prince of Wales.

A MAIDEN LADY.—The Public Advertiser

were interred at Woolwich, the remains of Mrs. Gott, a
maiden lady. She left 50s. on condition of being carried
to her grave (and attended only) by females, which was
complied with, so that there were no male officiators at
her funeral, except the parson and clerk."

SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
Vtibitt eptltton.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.

Two of the three prisoners condemned to death by
the French Court of Peers, will, our Paris Correspondent
says, be guillotined. Quenisset, the guiltiest of them
all, is to have his life for betraying his accomplices.
His Holiness the Pope has prohibited the circulation
of the Journal des Debuts in the Papal States. This
comes of writing saucy letters to such Venerable
Prelates as the Bishop of Chartres instead of
humbly bending to receive in silence episcopal
correction. The Church is always insulted when men
attempt to reason with their pastors. And yet we would
Let our inkstand against a crozier that the Debuts in the
long run will be more than a match for the Bishop and
the Sovereign Pontiff.—From Madrid we have accounts of
the 19th inst. Up to the afternoon of that day,
the dispute between M. de Salvandy, the French Am-
bassador, and the Cabinet, as to the presentation of his
Excellency's credentials, had not been arranged. M. de
Salvandy claims to deliver them to the Queen in person
in a private audience, and the Ministry insist that as
her Majesty is a minor that they must be presented to
the Regent as the Sovereign de facto. M. de Salvandy
menaced to demand his passports, and the reply of Senor
Gonzales was, that his Excellency might have them if
he thought proper.

. .
In a Madrid letter of the same date we find the fol-
lowing :—" TWo thousand four hundred and fifty-three
butts of sherry wine were exported from Jerez and Port
St. Mary's during the last month of November, and this
month's export is expected to be larger ; but the grand
aim of the shippers should be to send none but good
wines, for the purpose of keeping up their reputation,
instead of some of the trash, miscalled sherry, which
has been sent to England of late years.

VICTORIA.

This house was so crowded on Monday night with gay
Christmas play-goers, that it was with much difficulty
standing room could be obtained to view the perfor-
mances. Susan Hopley, which is a drama drawn from
humble life, interested the audience, and excited their
applause to the tip-top of any manager's desires. Robert
Macaire was the second piece ; after which came the
Victoria pantomime, with all its music, mystery, tricks,
tumbles, and devices. It resembled an ordinary drama
more than a set harlequinade, and, under the title of
Peter Wilkins, or Harlequin and the King of the Aerial
1611nds, represented the romantic adventures of that re-
nowned hero of melodramatic celebrity. The talent of
Miss Vincent, and the enterprise of Mr. Osbaldeston,
have produced ample amusement for the gratification of
their Christmas audiences. Heathorn's moving panorama
was a brilliant piece of scenic display ; and some dis-
sclving views, by Childe, furnished a skilful phantas-
magoric spectacle. If variety and amusement are to be
sought, the Victoria will supply them.

IMPORTANT.—Many Persons after learning
_IL that so many wonderful Cures have been effected by
PARR'S LIFE PILLS, have a great desire to procure the
Medicine which has done so much good. In doing this, how-
ever, caution must be observed, as certain individuals, without
honour or honesty, are offering adangerous substitute instead of
the genuine Medicine. The Proprietors cannot, of course, be
accountable for any untoward results that may ensue to those
who have been thus imposed upon, but they can point out an
effectual means to prevent further imposition.
Purchasers may be sure they have the genuine Medicine, if
they find the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS engraved on the

" Tipton, Staffordshire.
" I, Joshua Bail, hereby testify, that I had been dreadfully
afflicted with Rheumatic Gout fer 17 years, so that I have at
times kept my bed for months together, and could not get any
thing to do me good, till I took Parr's Life Pills,' which I
am very happy to state have nearly restored me to perfect
health. As witness my hand, this 11th day of September,
1841. " JOSHUA. BALL."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 28.
HILL AND BROOK'S BANKRUPTCY.

The final examination of these bankrupts, whose case
is regarded with the greatest curiosity and interest in the
city, was to have taken place this day before Air. Com-
missioner Evans ; but, in consequence of the absence of
the official assignee, it was postponed to the 26th Jan.
London, England, 1841-12-29

IN RE MICHAEL DANKS.

The bankrupt had carried on very extensive business
as a carpet manufacturer and warehouseman in Hatton-
garden.
The day being appointed for the adjourned choice of
assignees, a number of creditors were present, and seve-
ral proofs tendered to establish the right of voting in the
appointment. Mr. George Robinson, of Kidderminster,
and Mr. George Jones, of Skinner-street, Snow-hill, both
carpet manufacturers, were appointed assignees.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

POLICE MEDDLING.—A young man named George
Cole, was brought before Messrs. Lucas and Fairbrother,
the sitting Aldermen, by police constable 282, under the
following circumstances :
The constable stated that he was desired by his ser-
geant to take a horse and cart, which was opposite to a
public-house, to the, green-yard, and, while doing so,
the prisoner came up and seized hold of the bridle, say-
ing he should not take the horse away, when he gave
him into the custody of another policeman.
Mr. Gardner, the proprietor of the public-house where
the horse stood, said the owner had sold a quantity of
sheep to a butcher in Smithfield market, and turned into
his parlour to draw up a receipt for their payment. 'The
prisoner, who was the pot-boy, stood at the door to watch
the horse, but, being called, during his absence it was
taken away.
Messrs. Lucas and Farebrother strongly reprehended
such unseemly meddling, and said the constable should
have gone into the house to inquire for the owner in-
stead of stealing it away as he did. They were deter-
mined, in a very short time, to put an end to those green-
yard oppressions.
London, England, 1841-12-29

COMMERCIAL REFORM.

The following plan of " Bread-Tax Receipts is now
pursued by the Anti Corn-law Association :—By an ar-
rangement with a baker, the party who receives a bread-
tax ticket from the Association is to receive the 41b. loaf,
(price 81d. for 5d.), the effect of which is to show the
people the amount for which they would obtain the 41b.
loaf at all times but for the landlord's tax.

CONCERTS A LA MUSARD.

Notwithstanding the attractions of the Christmas
pantomimes, these Concerts were not neglected on Mon-
day evening. The audience that attended on the refined
and classical entertainments which their music afforded
on Monday night, was numerous and select, and Mr.
Laurent gathered around him, to our great surprise, a
silent and delighted auditory, when it might have been
otherwise expected that harlequinade and clownery
would have entirely secured them to those circles. This
is a pleasing proof of the fast hold which music is gain-
ing upon our countrymen. Tolbecque on Monday night
was the leader, and with an orchestra composed of sixty
instrumental performers from the Opera House and Phil-
harmonic, played off in a most light and finished manner
the exquisite Overtures and Concerts set down in the
programme, and selected from Rossini, Haydn, and Mo-
zart. But the appearance of a new and juvenile pianist
formed the most novel attraction of the evening, in the
person of Mr. Henry Laurent, who is not more than
fourteen or fifteen years of age. His execution of Herz's
intricate variations in the " Pre aux Clercs," of which
Herold is th 6 original composer, brought down great and
deserved applause, and the rapidity of his fingering on
the instrument, gained under the instruction of Mr. W.
Holmes, does signal credit both to master and pupil.

WALSALL ELECTION Con-
MITTEE.

(Continued from The Sun of yesterday.)

Counsel and agents having been called,
The CIIAIR.IIIAN said the Committee had decided that Mr.
Wrangham do proceed with his case in behalf of the itting
Member.
Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM then addressed the Committee
upon the evidence that had been adduced in support of
the petition. He referred particularly to the evidence of Patch,
which he contended was contradicted in all the material parts
by that of other and much more credible witnesses. After a
lengthened address of mote than two hours, the Learned Coun-
sel concluded by submitting that the allegations in the petition
had not been sustained.
It being then four o'clock, the Committee adjourned till to-
morrow, when Mr. Sergeant Merewether w.ll be heard in reply.

ALBAN'S ELECTION COM-
MITTEE.

(Continued from The Sun of yesterday.)
Mr. Adams was recalled, and stated that he received the
money as stated in the opening if Mr. ilillyard, or the pur-
pose of voting f.,r Lord Listowell. He was askei what Mr.
. .

Webster said:on giving the money.
Mr. A usTIN objected. They could not show agency by
such aline of examination.
The Committee decHed that the question was within the
rule, and might be put.
In answer to Mr. HILLYARD the witness bore out the whole
statement of the opening.
In his cross-examination by Mr. AUSTIN he said he break-
fasted
wi,h Mr. (abbell, and canvassed wit`i him during the
day before the arrival of Lord List(iwell. There were present
Wingrave, Quin, and lilagg, and a great many more. He
canvassed, and took a prominent part in the election Irom the
day of er issu:ng the writ till the last, and wore the
true blue colours. Went down to Mr. Webster's after
seeing Quin and Wingrave at the Committee-room
of Mr. Cabbel in the Verulam Arms. Stebbing
was there also. and they want immediately from there
to Dr. Webster's. He left the polling place in a hurry—went
to Hertford with a Mr. Seacatik, because at the poll they
threatened to knock out his brains. At Hertford Mr. Nichol-
son, the agent for Lord Salisbury, provided for him.
After staying a week there he came to a place
in Hoxton, and was now at an hotel in' the neigh-
bourhood. He had not paid his bills at either place,
except at Hoxton. He believed he had often been called
" Lying Adams," both at Aylesbury and in St: Alban's. but he
did not care for such nicknames. He knew John Gibbs, but
did not believe that he ever put down regularly all the lies he
(witness) gave utterance to in a day. Many jokes had passed
between them, but he did not believe that was one of them.
The witness was very shortly reexamined, and the Com-
mittee adjourned at near five o'clock till half-past eleven to-
morrow.
