Notwithstanding the arrival of Potatoes at the water-side
since Monday last has been very trifling, the demand for
most kinds is heavy at almost nominal tigures. The stand
qualities are quite unsaleable, though offered as low as from
10s to 30s per ton. However the finest parcels are held at
high rates.
BOROUGH HOP ms.anzm-r.

The reports which have reached us from the Hop planta-
tions in Kent: and Sussex state that the bine has made con-
siderable progress during the past week, but in most planta-

them, they are periiaitted to accommodate their payments to
their circumstances, or to discontinue them altogether; and
even -further, if needful to possess themselves wain of the
whole or any portion of the amount deposited during a series
of years, together with the accumulation to which the po-
licy may have become entitled ; while to parents and those
interested in the welfare of young persons, it offers such a
beneficial mode of investment as cannot fail to be fully ap-
preciated. • _,
The advantages thus devehloepdederityleied

be as many and'great as can
of life assurance, and the accumulative plan may be consi-
dered as supplying all that was tefleient in the ordinary sys-
tem. It exactly provides for the wants of those who desire
that pecuniary provision in the event of death should ad-
vance with the increasing necessity for it; while to those
who at any time wish to terminate their arrangements of
this kind, it suggests a mode by which their object may be
attained with the least possible loss or expense. Asia pro-
vision for the young it must be considered invaluable, as at
once guarding the parent from loss, while offering to the
child an example of prudence and a stimulus to exertion.
The directors of the City of London Life Assurance Com-
pany, in concluding this short explanation of the accumu-
lative principle as applied to increase the usefulness of life
assurance, venture to express their full coiffidence in the po-
pularity which" it will acquire. They have resolved to carry
it out in the way which will most conduce to its success,
with caution and economy; and in endeavouring to secure
the best scientific advice and assistance to guide them in the
outset of their plan, they desire to give the strongest possible
pledge that their subsequent course will be marked by a
rigid regard to the security of the interests entrusted to their
management.

As the system of Accumulative Assurance is peculiar to
the City of London Life Assurance Society, the directors,
in introducing it to the public, would only further state that
the calculations respecting it have been made expressly for
them IT Air. J. M. Rainbow, their consulting actuary, whose
talents and experience will be a sufficient guarantee for ac-
curacy and security.

The Duke of Richmond having explained the occasion on
which their Lordships were assembled, was followed by Lord
Stanley, who was received with an enthusiasm that was con-
tinued through the whole of the speech, in which the Noble
Lord declared his earnest support of the principle of protec-
tion, and his fixed intention, by all the means in his power,
to oppose the Bill that had just passed the Commons.
Lord Beaumont, Lord Redesdale, Lord Colchester, and
Lord Ashburton severally addressed the meeting in the same
sense, and the result was an unanimous resolution to lose no
opportunity that might offer for securing the defeat of the
scheme proposed by Sir Robert Peel.

THE "GLOBE" JOURNAL,

a paper of which it is no' a little difficult to do justice in the common
language of praise. first, it may be well to state the reason why a paper
so deservedly-high In the public estimation (and never at any period
int, prouder position than at this juncture) should be in the market.
It is not a little refreshing to ➢lr. Robins to be called upon for this
explanation.

DEATH OF MR. JOHN TALBOT.—We regret to learn
that letters have bran received from Naples from the Earl and Coun-
tess of Shrewsbury, conveying the melancholy news of the death, in
that capital, of Mr. John TaPaot, nephew of the Earl of Shrewsbury,
and heir presumptive to that ancient earldom. The Noble Earl and
bot's health, which had occasioned the most painful anxiety to the
Countess have had charge of their nephew since the death of his
father, the Hou. George Henry Talbot, in 1839, and in the last
autumn they left this Country for Italy, for the benefit of Mr. Tal-
family. The deceased was only son of the late Hon. George Henry
Talbot and Augusta,
daughter of Sir Horace St. Paul, Bart., remar-
ried to the Hon. Craven Eitzhardinge Berkeley, M.P. He was in
his lith year. We hear that his remains are to be brought to Eng-
land for interment. The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury are
shortly eXpected at Mivart,'S Hotel, from Xaples, 011 tlgir Way to
O 1 TovrA l staftbilluro.

cent. on the cost of the bridge. The Bill had been
brought in under the sanction of the Board of Woods
and Forests, and he trusted therefore that it would pass
without opposition.
Lord KINNAIRD would suggest that, as the report
of the Committee of the Metropolitan Termini had been
laid on the table, the proposed bridge near Chelsea
Hospital might be made to serve the double purpose of
a Metropolitan passage of the bridge, and.of a railway
communication across the Thames.
Viscount DUNCANNON believed that if there was
to be a railway communication at all, it would be far
westward of Chelsea Hospital.
The Bill was then read a second time; and their Lord-
! ships adjourned.

Mr. BAILEY wished Co know -from the Noble

reason he asked the question was, a great many Mem-

answer to the qyestiint might to a great extent affect
their &termination.

COMMITTEE.

Sir R. H. INGLIS moved that Lord John Russell,
Viscount Ebrington, and Colonel Fox be added to the
Westminster-bridge and New Palace Committee.
GENERAL POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE wished to ask the Noble Lord
at the head of the Government if he would be prepared
to state, on Thursday next, to the House and to the
country upon what principles it was intended to
conduct the Government of this country? The people
were very anxious upon the subject, and wished to have
some information upon the subject.
Lord J. RUSSELL did not think it necessary to
make any statement upon that subject. The principles
upon which he intended to conduct the government
were the same as those upon which he had previously
acted.
