COUNTY COURTS EXTENSION BILL.

Lord BEAUMONT wished to know whether the
Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack meant to-
morrow to move the reprinting of the County Courts
Extension Bill; and if so, what alterations he proposed
to make in it.? He himself was in favour of the princi-
ple of the Bill; but he should move in Committee the
omission of th© reconcilement clause and also of the 35th
clause, and should propose special legislation with re-
gard to causes above 201.
The LORD CHANCELLOR should not oppose the
committal of the Bill, but in Committee ho should move
the omission of the arbitration and reconcilement
clauses, and ho would suggest the propriety of the equity
jurisdiction clauses being onsittcd in this Bill, and that
legislation on the subject should take place in the Chan-
cery Reform Bill. He should also suggest alterations in
the latter clau-ea and in the clauses relating to the em-
ployment of attorneys' clerks in these courts.
Lord BEAUMONT and Lord BROUGHAM severally ex-
plained, and the subject dropped.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.

The FOURTII ANNUAL .GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Moe, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication:—
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England,
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for VlOL—making
together 7001., which have been paid.' This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.

The number of lives assured between the Ist of Juno, 1849, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve mouths preceding.
Prop mals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted far 45,1251. 6s.
sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,048/., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by/ the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. 1 ls. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16e. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. 11d.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
bat 1,183/. 115. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisi% Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
tilderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

GERMANY.

Ultramontane bigotry, particularly among the
higher classes, is rampant. There has lately been a
flagrant example of intolerance near Inspruck. A
young country girl was recently delivered of
twins; as the father, who was in a military band,
was a negro, his offspring was naturally
of a somewhat dingy colour. The ignorant
village priest, having refused to baptise " the
children of Satan," the mother, who was ex-
posed to the taunts and insults of her bigoted coun-
trymen, put an end to her misery. and shame by
jumping into the river Sill.—A medical commission,
after having examined three insane persons residing
near Brun, in Moravia, have given it as their opinion
i
" that the three individuals have lost their senses n
consequence of the catechetical discipline to which
they were subjected by the Liguorians during con-
fession."

GERMANY.

Ultramontane bigotry, particularly among the
higher classes, i 3 rampant. There has la‘ely been a
flagrant example of intolerance near Inspruck. A
young country girl was recently delivered of
twins; as the father, who was in a military band,
was a negro, his offspring was naturally
of a somewhat dingy colour. The ignorant
village priest, having refused to baptise " the
children of Satan," the mother, who was ex-
posed to the taunts and insults of her bigoted coun-
trymen, put an end to her misery and shame by
jumping into the river Sill.—A medical commission,
after having examined three insane persons residing
near Brun, in Moravia, have given it as their opinion
i
" that the three individuals have lost their senses n
consequence of the catechetical discipline to which
they were subjected by the Liguorians during con-
fession."

The POLICIES are INDISPUTABLE, in terms of the Deed of

dependent for their validity on the construction to be put upon pre-
vious statements or the official papers which preceded them, or upon
reports, prospectuses, or other varying documents. They are thus
rendered CERTAIN FAMILY PROVISIONS, AND NEGOTIABLE'
DOCUMENTS OF SECURITY.
Owing to this important improvement in the practice of life
assurance, the progress of this company has been rapid from the
commencement of its business, and is steadily advancing.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Austria having succeeded, under pretence of being
the ally of Denmark, in inundating the Duchies with
her troops, is now assiduously engaged in endeavouring
to pick a quarrel with Denmark, in order to have an
excuse for keeping those troops there at the expense
of her ally. General SIGNoRINI, the Austrian Com-
missioner, acting, no doubt, under the instructions
of his Government, has behaved in so insulting
a manner to the Danish Commissary that a challenge
has been the consequence. The fact is, that Austria
has an enormous army which she cannot pay or sub -
sist, and therefore she endeavours to quarter them
on her neighbours ; her policy is, in fact, an or-
ganized system of plunder. It is really time that
the solvent and civilized Governments of Europe
should combine together to put a stop to the
swir.dlings and robberies of this Bankrupt and Bri-
gand Power.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF LORDS, April 7.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took hia seat, ',upon the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.

PETITIONS.

The Earl of MALITESBURY gave notice that on
Thursday Lord Stanley would present a petition from
Guiana on the subject of colonial government.

Lord WODEHOUSE presented several petitions
against Papal aggression.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the
ward of Farringdon praying for a reform of the corpora-
tion of London.

The EArl of MALMESBURY presented epetition
from some parish in Worcestershire praying for an alte-
ration in the law of rating.

The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition praying
for the adoption of measures for the suppression of the
gave-trade. _

The Earl of RODEN presented several petitions from
places in Ireland against Papal aggression; also several
petitions praying for a grant of money to the schools in
connexion with the National Church, in which the
Scriptures were taught.

The Earl of ENNISKILLEN presented several peti-
tions from various places in Ireland, oraying that the
Scripture schools in that country might have a share of
the grant for the promotion of national education.
MASTERS AND SERVANTS BILL.

The Earl of CARLISLE moved the second reading
of this Bill, the object of which was to protect children
placed out in service by the parochial authorities from
the cruelties which had been irdlicted upon the
unfortunate victim of the Sloanes. The Noble Earl ex-
plained the enactments of the Bill, which established
a system of periodical inspection on the part of the
boards of guardians, and the details of which have been
frequently given.
Lord REDESDALE was opposed to the measure, as
ono which would render it impossible for paupers to be
placed out. What need had a great boy of eighteen of
such protection? Besides, no farmer would take a
pauper if he was exposed to have the guardians coming
and asking all sorts of questions of their servants.
The Earl of CARLISLE alluded to the Sloanes' case
as a proof of the necessity of some such measure as the
present.
The Bill was then read a second time,.
PAPAL AGGRESSION.

Lord CAMPBELL presentedaPetition from Ayr
against Papal aggression. The petition pra)od that a
measure might be passed prohibiting the Roman Catho-
lic prelates from assuming territorial titles, enacting that
all bequests made to them under those titles should be
made null and void; that all acts that they might per-
form, and such titles should be void; and that a measure
should be introduced to prevent all synodical action o❑
their part. He would not say one word as to the prayer
of the petition, but he would take the opportunity of
protesting against the doctrine that all religious persua-
sions had a right to do whatsoever they might consider
necessary to the unlimited development of their religion.
They had no right to do anything under the pretence
of religious development which would interfere with the
liberties and rights of others.
London, England, 1851-04-08

TIMBER.

Mr. MOFFATT wished to ask the Chancellor of
Exchequer when he intended that the proposed reduc-
tion of the duty on coffee and timber should come into
effect?

Th.- CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ho
was anxious that the reduction should take place as soon
as possible, but as he had no control over the House it
was impossible for him to fix any particular day.
THE NEW HOUSE TAX.'

Sir J. DUKE wished to know whether the Chancellor
of the Exchequer intended that warehouses, which were
not before charged wish window duty, should now come
under the operation of the house-tax?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—No
houses which do not come under the description of in-
habited houses will be assessed to the tax.
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY wished to know whether
shops which were part of house, would be included in
tax.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
that such premises as those described by the Hon. Al-
derman would be liable to the tax of 6d. in the pound,
instead of 9d., as other housc,s were taxed.

Mr. J. WILLIAMS inquired ►✓hether houses would
be rated to the tax under the poor rate assessment or
under a new one?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he proposed that the assessment should be on
the annual value of the houses, but at present he would
not confine himself to any particular mode of getting at
the value. He certainly should not take the poor-rate as-
sessment, because then parishes would have the power
of limiting the amount of income-tax which they would
have to pay at their own pleasure.
