Empowered by Special act of Parliament.

THIS Company was Established in 1844, for
the purpose of opening to the pu,lic an easy and unquestion-
ably safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Inte-
rest.
The plan of the Bank f Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi-
nary Banks in the mode of employing capital —money deposited
with this Corttpany being principally lent up nn well secured Life
Interests, Reversions in the Government runds, or other property
of ample value. This class of securities, although not Immediately
convertible. it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit,
combined with the most perfect safety. Further, Loans made by
the Company are collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on
the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of pre-
mium which secures the validity of the Policy against every pos-
sible con. ingency. _

Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of
[nss, whilst the large and constantly increasiwt revenue arising
from the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit
to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS may be opened with sums of any amount, and
ncreased tr,m time to time, at the convenience of deposit ,rs
A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de-
)osited.

BATE AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST.
The rate of Interest since the establishment or the Company 'has
never been less than five p, r cent_ per annum ; and it is confiden ly
anticipated that the same careful and ju licious selection from secu-
rities of the description above mentioned will enable the Board of
Management to continue this rate to depositors.
'The Interest is pay able in January an.t July. on the amount stand
in: in the name of the depositor on the 30t1r- of Tune and 3 st of
December, anit for the convenience of pa, tleihresicling at a distance
may be received at the Branch Offices, or remitted through Countfy
Bankers.

proposed to enact that the marriage of persons who had
divorc'ed on account of their own adultery should take
place at a registry-office. The effect of this would be that
the parties could, if they pleased, hare the religious cere-
mony performed afterwards, but it would not be corn-
puliory upon any clergyman to celebrate their marriage.
They roust find some person who bad no objection to
perform such a ceremony, and whose conscience, there-
fore, would net be violated by its performance. He
did not think that, this would impose hardship upon
any one ; on the contrary, it, would afford great relief
to those to whom otherwise. a great injury would be
done.- It had bee❑ said that Ritherto no clergyman had
objected to marry divorced poisons; but no great weight
was to be given to this objection, because the cases in
which such marriages had taken plates- were but few,
and it was only during the discussion of the measure
now before Parliament that this question had taken a
deep hold of the public mino. Under these circum-
stances, he moved thet the bill should be lead a second
time.

- The LORD CHANCELLOR said be thought there
were a great many reasons why their lordships should
not agree to the nioticn of his noble friend, but surely it
was an all-sufficient reason that he was now proposing
for the fourth time that which had, within the last two
or three weeks, been three times rejected by their lord-
ships. A proposal of precisely the same effect was made
while the Divorce Bi I was under their lordsh.ps' consi-
deration. Indeed, that proposal had the a lvantage of
this measure, because it was more consistent, and met
the whole case. This bill only went half-way. It was
said teat a great number of clergymen considered mar-
riage indissoluble, and therefore ought not to be called
upon to re-marry any person oho bad been divorced,
whether innocent or guilty. The amendment moved by
the noble earl to his left (Earl Nelson) went to that ex-
tent,_and therefore, if assented to, would hive removed
the whole of this, as he believed, imaginary grievance.
It was three times decided by their lordships that it was
not right to interfere in such a ctsse, and that, he thought,
was of itself a sufficient reason why this bill should not
be read a second time. TLere were, however, other
reasons which would, he hoped, induce their lordships
to pause before assenting to . anything which would
establish' so strange a precedent as that involved in
this bill, His noble friend proposed that a certain
form- of marriage should be adopted for persons
who had been divorced. Suppose the bill now before the
other House of Parliament did not pass into a law, the
consequence would be teat, as the only divorced persons
known to the law were those divorced by the ecclesiasti-
cal courts, all such persons might be married under this
bill. It was true that that objection might be removed
by altering the wording of the measure ;, but how would
this bill apply to marriages dissolved by special acts of
Parliament? The matter would, he admitted, be open to
argument, but he believed that the effect of this bill would
he to after the provisions'of all previous ate which had
authorised marriage in any mode. If the bill now be-
fore the other house did not pass, this measure would
have no effect upon subsequent acts of Parliament dis-
solving marriages, because when such an act said
that it shotild be lawful for the parties to marry again
that would mean as other persons could. _Under these
circuinstanbe§ he hoped their I..rdships would refuse to
give a aeoond reading to this bill. The noble and
learned lord concluded by moving that the bill be read a
second time on that day.six months.

Lord CAMPBELLihought the proposal of the noble
lord wliolly unparbamentary and unprecedented. A bill
which embraced the whole of this subject, and from which
this prevision had been excluded, had been /Treed to by
their lordships, and sent down to the other house, and
would be taken into consi,leration there. If the other
house thought this particular provision a fair and just
one they would insert it in the bill ; but it would be a
very extraordinary mode of procedure to send down a
rider to that bill in the shape of a propesition which their
lordships had already rejected two or three times. He
was very much surprised that his noble friend, the great
lord of order in their lordships' house, to whom they all
looked up in matters of procedure, should have made
such a proposition.

The ..A.Chbishop of CANTERBURY said that if on
any 'point of order, as hal been stated by the noble and
learned lord, there were a constitutional objection to this
bill, it would, of course, be unnecessary and improper to
urge it upon Vitir lordships. But he must express his
earnest hope-that in this or some other mode,,eit.' er in
this or in the other house, some relief might he afforded
to the clergy, who were serious'y affected by the matter
to which it referred. Tt ere was nothing in the principle
of the bid which compromise 1 their lordships by interfer-
ing with. what they had already determined—,nothing
'which was inconsi'ent with their conduct on other occa-
sions. It was now 20 years since some of those who dise
sented from the Church made a loud complaint that they
were furred to cal hrate their marriages according to a
erviee which differed from their religious opinions;
har 1( r !skin= judgeci the complaint to be reasonable,
and gave a'reruedy—a remedy wroch completely altered
thee vvlat;le law of marriage. The clergy of the Church
now complain that they might tic obliged by law to per::
Corm a service which alley believed to be inconsistent
with the ayine command. He would not now discuss
the question %kir titer they gave a right interpretation to
the Scripture ; but he ma ntaite I that as long as the
same words remained in Scripture there would always be
many who would so interpret them. Surely it was not
unreasonable to require that persons contracting mar-
riage under the circumstances contemplated in the
Divorce Bill now before the House of Commons should
be satisfied with a civil contract, content with the pr ivi
lege of a legal marriage and a legitimate issue. The case
became much stronger by the Bemire of the marriage
service. He was unwilling to allude more particularly to
that service; indeed, it could hardly be done in connexion
with this subject without the appearance of profaneness.
But their lordships would remember that the service as-
sumed, in solemn terms, the divine approval of the mar-
riage, and that it was divinely orders 1. It wasilty truepass thation
,
charity hopeth all things ; but it os,ed over the bounds
of charity t ) pronounce, ex cathedra, the divine approval
of a marriage which bad its origin in a guilty
and was brought about by a heinous crime. For these
reasons he trusted that the consciences of the clergy
might not suffer under this trouble, but that, either
through this present bill or in some futureclauns:ohfitrhme
Marriage arid Divorce Bill, a remedy would be found.
Lord REDESDALE, in reply, said that
wodld be inflicted on any person by the passing of this
bill. It was a great wantonness of tyranny to compel
the clergy to perform these marriages against their own
conscience,..

Their lordships then divided, and the numbers were—

would Interfere very materially with the law affecting

to exist between Roman Catholic property and that of
other denominations, moved tbat ttie bill be referred to
a select committee.
'The LORD CHANCELLOR admitted that the bill
was one that was deserving of discussion, but he con-
ceived such discussion could be carried on better in the
house than by a select committee sitting upstairs.
The Duke of NORFOLK thought that the bill should
be referred to a select committee. lie had a number of
amendments to propose, and he believed that other noble
lords had given notice of some new clauses.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that after the state-
ment of the noble duke he would not ask their lordships
to proceed further with the bill at the present moment.
The bill was then reported, and referred to a select
committee

posal of the Danish Government to the favourable con-
sideration of Parliament. That proposal was the one
which bad been accepted. The convention had been
signed by 12 or 13 States, all of them having a direct
interest in the trade of the Baltie, and there was every
reason to think that the proposMon of the Danish Go-
vernment was just and equitahle, and that the assess-
ment of the indemnity was fair to-all parties. He be-
lieved that the arrangemen'; which had been made
would be very beneficial to British shipping, which was
more concerned in the trade of the Baltic than that
of any other nation. It was right, also, to mention that
in April last the United States' Government entered into
s. treaty with Denmark, agreeing to pay its fair share of
the compensation, and tbal nothing could be more hon-
ourable than its conduct throughout the negotiations.
He might likewise state that, although by treaty the
Sound Dues were to cease and determine from and after
let April last, yet, owing to the dissolution of Parlia-
ment and other causes, delay had arisen in the fulfilment
of one part of the agreement. Nevertheless, the Danish
Government had not levied any tolls whatever since the
let April;nor placed any impediment in the way of our
trade in the Baltic. There was one other fact which he
might mention to their lordships, viz., that it was not
the intention of the Danish Government to remit any
portion'of this money to Denmark ; but for objects of
their own the whole of the amount would be invested
in this country.
The Bill was then read a second time.
• POLICE (SCOTLAND) BILL.

Their 1-rdships went into committee on this bill.
Lord PANNIURE said that this biil was- similar in
principle to the Police-Bill for England passed last ses-
sion. Some of the Scotch counties had a police force,
but others bad neglected to avail themselves of the op.
portunity, and the bill enabled boroughs and districts
to combine f)r the purpose of maintaining an efficient
constabulary force. The Secretary of State would lay
down roles as in England for the pay and clothing of the
force, and the same proportion of one-fourth of the ex-
penditure would be defrayed out of the public sv,he-
quf r. The bill bad been referred to a select committee
of their brdships, who had given valuable assistance in
putting it into proper shape.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCEI regarded the bill as one
of great importance, for the inconvenience was very
great of having a constabulary force in some of the
Scotch counties and not in others. A. power was given
to the Secretary of State to enforce the building of a
lock-hp house and stations, but he believed it would be
found that sufficient provision was made herein under
the Prisons Art.

L .rd CAMPBELL had no doubt this was an excel-
lent Bill, and that Scotland was very much indebted to
his noble friend for bringing •it in. It was very credit-
able to the Scotch peers and members of Parliament that
they met and laid their heads together and came to
a sensible decision upon Scotch Bill; before they came
under discussion in Parliament. He hoped that occa-
sion would be taken either to abolish " rogue money' or
to give it a more creditable name. He remembered for
eraimple, that when a monument was erected to a most
meritorious public servant the balance that remained to
be defrayed was paid out.of "rogue money." (A. laugh.)
Upon another occasion the dinner bill of some commis-
sioners was defrayed out of the same questionable source.
