of the following years, viz., 1853, 18:4, 1855,
1856, and 1857 ; showing-1. The several sums
borrowed ; 2. The names of the parties from whom such
sums were borrowed ; 3. The nature of the security
given in each instance; 4. The date of each security ;
5. The rate of interest payable and paid thereon ; G.
The total sums so borrowed ; 7. The total now due.--
Agreed to.

ASH WEDNESDAY.
On the motion of Lord PALMERSTON, it was agreed
that the house at its rising should adjourn till to-morrow
(Wednesday) at 2 o'clock, it being Ash Wednesday, to
allow hon. members to attend church.

INDIA.
Mr. W. EWART gave notice of a motion relative to
the future improvement of India.

CONSPIRACY BILL.
Mr. M. GIBSON gave notice that on the motion for
the second reading of the Conspiracy to Murder Bill,
he should move an amendment to the effect that
the house had heard with much concern that, it
was alleged, the recent attempt on the life of
the Emperor of the French had been devised in
England, and to express their detestation of such
guilty enterprises ; and, further, that they were
ready to assist in remedying the defects of our criminal
law, afterdue investigation, were any proved to exist, yet
they could not but regret that her Majesty's Govern-
ment, previous to inviting the house to amend the law,
had not felt it to be its duty to make some reply to
the despatch of the French Government, dated Jan. 30,
1858. (Hear, hear.)

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY, No. 8, Waterloo-plats, Pall-Mall, London, S.W.
The Funds or Property of the Company, as at 31st December,
1857, amounted to £617,801, invested in Government or other
approved securities.
Annual Income upwards of £lll,OOO from Premiums alone.
The Hon. FRANCIS SCOTT, M.P.. Chairman.
CHARLES BERWICK CHRTIS, Esq., Deputy-Chairman.
INVALID LlVES.—Persons not in sound health may have their
lives insured at equitable rates.
AcemitmonArrox IN LOAN TRANSACTIONS.—Only one-half of the
Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life, requires to be
paid for the first five years, simple interest being charged on the
balance. Such arrangement is equivalent to an immediate advance
of 50 per cent. upon the Annual Premium, without the borrower
having recourse to the unpleasant necessity of procuring sureties,
or assigning and thereby parting with Ids Policy, during the cur-
rency of the loan, irrespective of the great attendant expenses in
such arrangements.
The above mode of insurance has been found most advantageous
when policies have barn required to cover monetary transactions,
or when incomes app'icable for insurance are at present limited, as
it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other com-
panies before the present system was instituted by this office.
Loans are granted likewise on real and personal securities.
ADVANTAGE OF INSURING BEFORE DEC. 31, 185 S.—Policies effected
before this date will participate to a greater extent than if delayed
after that period. _ _

tion to the llesident Direei.or,

EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.

The famous letter addressed by Mr. J. Bright,
M.P., to the unemployed of Birmingham, in March
last, has elicited the following interesting letter from
Melbourne, addressed to him by the contractors for
the railway about to be made from Melbourne to

CORN EXCHAYGE.

Fresh up, to-day, only a moderate supply of English wheat came
to hand, coastwise and by land-carriage. For fine new qualities
there was some inquiry, and 31onday's prices were fairly supported.
Old parcels moved off slowly, but without leading to any change in
value.

There was a full average supply of most kinds of foreign wheat
on offer. The transactions generally were on a very limited scale,
but holders showed no disposition to accept lower rates.

Scarcely any English barley was on offer, but the supply of foreign
was good. The trade may be considered steady, at full prices.
Malt, the show of which was very moderate, realised fully previous
rates.

Good and tine oats were in request, at Monday's currency, but
inferior Russian qualities were very dull.
Beaus, peas, and flour were at Monday's quotations.

DR. LIVINGSTONE'S `, LAUNCH."

It has been announced that the vessel which is
about to take out Dr. Livingstone to the south-
east coast of Africa would have on board a launch
of very light draught of water, provided by Go-
vernment, to enable the veteran traveller to pro-
secute the important iuvesti„eation of the Zambesi
river, from the results of which so much is expected.
This launch has been built by Mr. John Laird, at
his new ship building works at Birkenhead, the
material employed being the new li,mogeneous
metal, commonly called " steel plates," manufac-
tured by Messr:,. Shortridge, Howell, and Jesaop,
of Sheffield. The great advantage of using this
description of plates is that the same amount of
strength is obtained as that found in the best iron
plates of double the thickness, so that a vessel of a
much lighter draught of water can be built, to the
removal of the obstacles which have hitherto been
in ;the way of navigating shallow rivers. After
having made a variety of experiments in working
this homogeneous metal Mr. Laird thought it
might be made applicable for this purpose in
the construction of vessels of adequate strength
with light draught of water. The launch
has been built with great despatch, the order
for its construction having been given only
five or six weeks ago. For convenience
of transshipment it has been built in three
sections on a patent taken out by Mr. Macgregor
Laird five or six years ago. The centre section
contains the boiler and a single horizontal high-
pressere engine of .1') horse power, and the two end
sections are fitted up for the accommodation of the
persons engaged in the expedition. Each com-
partment is made secure with watertight bulkheads.
In the aft section is a neat deckhouse, which will
be comfortably furnished, and will have every
necessary appliance for securing ventilation. The
vessel is a paddle steamer, her dimensions being—
length, 75 feet; bread; h, 8 feet ; and depth, 3 feet.
She will not draw more than 12 or 14 inches, so
that she is expected to be able to navigate the
shallowest parts of the river. The boiler es well
as the hull of the launch is made of these steel
plates, which ate only 3-leths of an inch. thick.
The boiler has been proved to 1601 b. pressure,
though it will only be necessary to work up to 401 b.
This, we believe, is the first application of this
cheap steel to boatbuilding purposes. If it should
answer, there can be little doubt that not only
numerous vessels of a similar class will be built for
the navigation of shallow rivers, but that it will
also be applied to the construction of vessels of
large burden. The trial trip of the little launch
wilt be made in the Mersey on Saturday or Monday
next. The expedition is expected to sail from
Liverpool in a few days.

LYCEUM.

" Othello.' was performed for the first time this season
at this theatre, last evening. Mr. C. Dillon represented
the Moor. His performance throughout was judicious,
and if in the terrible exhibition of conflicting passions
he did not rise to the level of some even among our
living Shaksperian actors, in no way did he offend against
propriety in elocution and in gesticulation. Mrs. Dillon
was earnest and careful in the character of Desdemona,
and Mrs. Weston as Emilia failed not to draw down
loud plaudits by her hearty delivery of the well-known
lines ending with "To lash such rascals naked round
the world."
Mr. Stuart as lago and Mr. Barrett as Roderigo well
sustained their reputation.
"The spectacle of " Lalla Rookh" followed—it has
lost none of its attractions. The point and epigram.
matic turn of the text is admirably set off by gorgeous
and truly magnificent scenery, and illustrated by acting
in which nerve abounds.

TREMENDOUS FIRE IN TVITITEOBAPEL.

A fire of a terrible character, and attended with a great
loss of valuable property, happened last night about half-
past 10 o'clock, and was not ext9nguished until an
advanced hour this morning. The scene of its operations
was a large range of buildings, situate at No. 81, High-
street, Whitechapel, fitted up with galleries similar to a
theatre, the property of Mr. Savage, an auctioneer. This
property was adjoined on every side by antiqus,,ed
houses, some of great height, amongst which was the,
East London Ragged School Shoe-black Depot, in which
a largo number or the boys were sleeping.
Sergeant Egerton, of the H division, having had his
attention called to the place by some one seeing smoke
in dense bodies issuing from the building, he at once
raised an alarm, and called Wood, the conductor of the
Whitechapel escape, to the spot, The conductor then
found flames issuing from every part of Mr. Savage'
pr,mises. The first thing Wood did was to get the boys
out of the Ragged Depot, and he fortunately accom-
plished his object, not one of the boys being in the least
degree injured. _

After some tine the engines reached the place, and,
fortunately, a good supply of water was procured from
the East London Company's mains, and they were forth-
with set to work under the personal directions of Messrs
Fogo, the foreman of the A section, and Mr. Bridges,
enginetr of the brigade, and also Messrs, Barrow
(deputy), Jones, Howell, Connorton, and Emmens, of
the West of England Office.
Copious streams of water were thrown upon and into
the blazing building, but, notwithstanding, the work of
devastation continued, and at one time there seemed no
chance of saving the nremisee of Mr. Raftery, clock and
watch maker, 82, in the same street; those of Mr. Hart,
hat and cap-maker, No. 83 ; several houses in Taylor's-
nourt, the beer-shop of Messrs. Turner, and several other
structures. By one o'clock thefiremen happily succeeded
in getting the conflagration subdued, but not until
property valued at some thou,and pounds was destroyed.

rendered essential aid to the firemen in keeping the

white waistband or kummerbund. His hands to
the wrist, and. his face and neck down to the
shoulders, were blackened with lamp-
black, applied with a cork, dipped in
oil for the purpose of making the colour
stick—an item in the account of his disguise
sufficiently indicating it to have been one of a
very primitive character. Nevertheless with this
very faint and transparent masquerade, JAMBS
CAVANAGH—thanks to his combined courage and
address—was enabled, under the protection of
Heaven, to pass unscathed and undetected through
that swarming host of deadly and implacable
enemies. Discovery would have been to him the
signal for cruel and inevitable destruction. Yet
he braved all this, actuated in the first place by a
I " sense of duty," hoping to be of use to the Com-
mander-in-Chief, and in the next place eager to
grasp with a bold hand the coveted bronze cross
of his most Gracious SOVEREIGN. For these
objects the dauntless soldier imperilled his life
voluntarily. To effect these two things he
willingly put that life, as it were, upon
the hazard of a die—wading across the Goompty
river at a point where it was one hundred
yards in width—passing by sentry after
sentry—penetrating through numerous bands of
the insurgent soldiery—eluding the vigilant eyes
-f innumerable watchmen or chowkeedars—
,—

waysides among

sometimes even haling to answer a string of ques-
tions put to him by the armed mutineers I Pass-
ing through all this frightful ordeal with unflinch-
ing nerves and unflagging self-possession. Here,
in truth, is one of those gallant men whom Eng-
land should delight to honour. This. is one of
those valiant warriors at heart, whom the modern
HANNIBAL loved to incite for battle by letting
them know for an absolute certainty that if they
willed it, they each carried a marshal's baton in
CAVA.NAGH, again we say, ought, if
his knapsack.
