During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England,
and but two ins Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2601.—making
together 700/.., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, ant 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 vi ay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve mouths preceding.

of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. Os.

ducing in or. ,nus.l premiums 3,7321. 1 ls. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,930/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were

siderab'e amo ant of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both 1 inmediate and Deferred.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 10th have arrived.
General Narvaez had returned to the capital.
According to the Heraldo the negotiations relative
to the concordat between Spain and the Holy See
are completely terminated.

The Gazette publishes a Royal decree establishing
elementary schools of agriculture.
The Duke and Duchess of Montpensier bad caused
a funeral service, in memory of King Louis Philippe,
to be celebrated in the cathedral church of Seville on
the 7th, and another in that of San Lucar on the 9th.
An immense concourse of people attended the two
ceremonies.

The new theatre of Madrid is nearly finished. The
whole of the interior is complete. The estimate of
expenses and receipts has been made out, and as the
salaries of first-rate arttsts, particularly in operas and
ballets, are exorbitant, and as, on the other hand, the
house is rather small, a somewhat mortifying result
has been found—namely, that the daily expenses
being 37,000 reals (3701.) and the receipts, even with
a crowded house, not more than 35,000 (3501.) a
daily deficit of 2,000 reals (201.) will have to be pro-
vided for.

MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. W.—Three per Cents. were
done at 33i for paper; the Four per Cents. at 134,;
the Five per Cents. at 14k; the Debt without Inte-
rest at 4 ; and the Coupons at 8.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

EXETER, SUNDAY EVENING.—Mr. Gorham entered
on his pastoral duties last week," readhimself in" this
morning, and preached his first sermon this afternoon.
In consequence of the great interest which the disputes
between the rev. gentleman and the Bishop of Exeter
have excited, a large number of persons visited the
London, England, 1850-09-17

before he opened 'the lower part of his waistcolt
show it to me.

Alderman GMBS—These are two serious charges
against you, defendant. What have you to say ?
Defendant—ln the first place as to my badge, I
always wear it as I do now, on the third button, so
that everybody as likes may look at it. So he's wrong
there. Then, as to my refusing to take him, there
was a gentleman called four of us cabs at one moment,
and in went the complainant into mine. So I told
the gentleman as civil as could be that I was hired,
and I begged of him to come out, as 1 had been with-
out a job all day, and I expected to get better paid by
the other party. Well, he did get out, and then he
took the number of my cab.
Mr. Nicholls said that not one word of what had
just been stated bad been uttered upon the occasion,
and that if such an appeal had been made to him, it
would have undoubtedly succeeded, provided there
had been any foundation for it.
Alderman GIBBS—This is 'an increasing evil. The
moment a cabman finds that he has but a short way
to go he refuses to stir, because his chance of impos-
ing upon his customer is not so tempting as a long
fare would present. The defendant in treating my
summons with contempt meant to weary out the gen-,
tleman whom he refused to carry, and he concealed
his badge with the view of adding to the difficulty of
arriving at a satisfactory issac. I must try what I
can do to prevent such outrageous conduct, and fine
the defendant 405., or one month's imprisonment in
Bridewell.

GERMAN Y.

Letters from Cassel, Electoral Hesse, of the 12th,
state that on the previous day M. MULLER, the Com-
missary of Police, had gone to the offices of the
New Gazette with some gendarmes, and had com-
mit some illegal acts. The publisher of the
paper immediately informed the permanent Cow.
mittee of the Assembly, and that body complained
to the public prosecutor. This functionary, after
examining the complaint found that it was well
founded, _and caused MuLnaa, to be arrested. The
military authorities had caused notifications respect-
ing the state of siege to be stuck up in several streets,
but most of them were torn down. No proclamations
had been stuck up in the villages near Cassel, which
are occupied by Prussian troops. On the 12th the
Supreme Court, almost unanimously, declared that
the decree of the 4th September on the levying of
the taxes, ought not to be carried into effect. On
the same day the Elector and all the Ministers
took to flight. 'She town remained perfectly tran-
quil. According to the Correspondent of
Hainburgh the Hanoverian Ministry had re-
solved to send troops to the frontiers of Electoral
Hesse, in compliance with the demand of the Hessian
Government, and the Northern German Gazette
says that five battalions had received orders to march.
The Cologne Gazette announces that M. STRUVE,
First Minister of Hanover, had in the Cabinet Coun-
cil opposed the sending of troops, but that his col-
leagues were of a different opinion, and that the
Diet of Frankfort had ordered the Hanoverian troops
to be sent. The same journal states, on authority of
a letter from Berlin, that the Prti-sian Government

alliance of the three Kings, the dissolution of the
last Diet, the taking part in the Congress of

pi ofessors without judgment. M. MULLER pro-
posed, and the Chamber unanimously voted thanks to
the Permanent Committee of the States of Electoral
Hesse, and to the judicial and administrative autho-
rities of the Electorate, for their resistance to the
illegal and unconstitutional conduct of the Govern-
ment.
The Austrian Observer of Vienna of the 9th ex-
presses great indignation at the outrage upon
General HATNAu in London, and announces that the
Austrian Ambassador at the Court of England has
formally demanded that satisfaction may be given to
his Government by bringing the offenders to trial.

- -
OBTAINING MONEY FROM F. M. HIS GRACE THE
DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—Henry Geo. Stanley and Hen-
rietta-Stanley,
his wife, were brought before Mr. 'Ring-
ham for re-examination, charged with obtaining several
sums of money from F. M. his Grace the Duke of Wel-
lington, by false and fraudulent pretences.
It will be in the recollection of our readers that the
prisoners, who have obtained money to the amount of
near 4001. from his Grace by fraudulent pretences,
were remanded from Monday last until tc-day, when it
was intimated to the magistrate his Grace would appear
to prosecute. The hearing of the case was fixed for
three o'clock, and about five minutes before that time,
his Grace entered the court followed by Mr. Bodkin sud
Mr. Humphries, who were retained for the prosecution.
Mr. Parry attended for the prisoner. His Grace was
dressed in a suit of blue, with,an over-coat of the same
colour deeply braided. His Grace looked remarkably
well.
Mr. Bodkin addressed the magistrate at some length
and concluded by asking for a further remand, as he
only last night received some important information re-
Wife to the charge at present before the court. The
learned gentleman then called his Grace the Duke of
Wellington, who deposed that he received the letter pro-
duced, and many more in the same handwriting. His
Grace generally burned such letters as soon as he re-
ceived them. His Grace sent the letter addressed to
Mrs. Whitmore, Post -office, Kennington-common. This
letter contained the half of a 5/. note. His Grace pre-
pared the envelope produced for the purpose of enclosing
the second half. His Grace generally kept a memoran-
dum of such transactions. Some other evidence having
been gone into the prisoners were remanded until Thurs-
day next.

FRAN CE.

In the Assembly yesterday, the clause of the Stamp
Act imposing a stamp-duty on sales of stock was
passed by a majority of 400 to '32, notwithstanding
the opposition of MM. Ponld, Passy, and Bangor, the
lattar of whom exposed the impolicy of the taxes by
observing, that when the State wanted a loan and
issued paper, if it burthened it with a stamp at its
negotiation, it must depreciste that paper, and undergo
a loss much more considerable than the profit expected
to be derived from the new tax.

In consequence of the known intentions of the
Government to introduce a Bill for the increase of
the deposit money, and the imposition of a stamp duty
on newspapers, the directors of the principal journals
os Paris had an interview yesterday morning with
the Minister of the Interior, with the view of dis-
suading him from carrying into effect the project re-
lative to the stamp duty.
The Minister replied to their observations, that he
should re-consult with his colleagues, and take their
opinion on the representations made to him by the
He
Directors.
thought it right, however, to add that
the Bill both for the increase of caution money, and
the importation of a stamp duty was already
prepared.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lorolships assembled at Five o'clock.
The Marquis of BREAD ALBANE presented several
petitions from different Presbyterian congregations in
Scotland against post-office deliveries on Sunday.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition for the ex-
tension of the jurisdiction of county courts; also a peti-
tion from the members of the Whittington Club, one of
the most useful and best managed clubs in London,
praying for the repeal of the taxes on knowledge, viz., the
stamp duty on newspapers, the advertisement duty, and
the excise duty on paper.
Earl FITZ WILLIAM presented a petition from the
inhabitants of Sheffield with a similar prayer. He
feared, however, that certain cheap publications were
not by any means of a moral character.
Lord BROUGHAM at once admitted that the press
ought to be very carefully watched. The Noble and
Learned Lord then proceeded to explain the plan
adopted by the Committee of the Society for the Diffu-
sion of Uuseful Knowledge to secure the publication of
good works at a cheap rate.
MUTINY BILLS.

FR ANCE.

The Opinion Publique says—
" We are assured that the Ministry will present a Bill
on the press, with the object of increasing the amount
of caution-money, and ra-imposing the stamp duty; a
Bill on the jury, to modify the numbrr of votes neces-
sary to a verdict of guilty; a Bill on electoral meetings;
a Bill having s )me resemblance to the Alien Act; and a
Bill on transportation."

It applars that there is a hitch about this press
laW. The object of the reactionaries is to render the
publication of a great number of the Republican
journals impossible, by increasing the amount of
caution money. But they have discovered that this
increase will also render the publication of most of the
Legitimist journals impossible, also ; and the
" honest" party has not as yet succeeded in
devising any method of escape from this dilemma.
The Ordre says :—" It is rumoured that the Presi-
dent of the Republic has expressed the intention of
demanding from the National Assembly, in accordance
with the Constitution, a new deliberation on the law
of instruction."

The Presse says :—" Is the President of the Re-
public then about to begin to open his eyes, and per-
ceive the necessity of getting out of that state of doing
nothing under which he is weighed down ? We are
informed that the works of the Cite-NapolLn are
about to be resumed and terminated, thanks
to a credit which the National Discount Bank
has, it is said, consented to open at the pressing
intervention of the President of the Re-
public. It is what ought to have been done six
months ago. The National Discount Bank runs no
risk, for the ground was purchased at a low price;
and upwards of 200,000 f., already paid, are the
guarantee of the 300,000 f. still required. As soo❑ as
the Cite-Napoleon is terminated, it will give a re-
turn ; and as soon as it gives a return the shares will
be disposed of with the greatest facility ; for it will
be at the same time an investment, and a useful
work."

respective Governments.
Accounts from every part of the empire speak of

relations between Wurtemburg and Prussia.

heavy fill had taken place in prices on the Stock
Exchange, in consequence of the elections of Paris,
and the fill on the Paris Bourse occasioned thereby.
Primary elections for the First Chamber of Prussia
took place a few days ago, and though a great num-
ber of electors voted, the result was favourable to the
moderate liberal party.
The Criminal Court of Brandenburg has con-
demned the burgomaster of Spandau, on btdng de-
clared guilty by a jury, to twelve years' imprison-
ment in a fortress, and to the loss of the right of

i❑ the German Parliament at Stuttgardt.
The Chamber of Deputies of Electoral Hesse, on
the 15th, rejected a demand of the Government for
an extraordinary credit fur the military service. The

The Austrian authorities in Vienna are promoting,
by every means in their power, the circulation of a

the Prophet is represented as having held conversa-
tions with the Apostles on the subject of the National
Guard, and of the revolution of Vienna, and he
learns from them that the constitution is contrary to
religion, and that no one in the enjoyment of liberty
can ever enter heaven.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

We find the following in the Assemblie Nationale:
—° IV w have received an important communication,
according to which the question of Schleswig-holstein
is likely to undergo a new phase. The Cabinetof Ber-
lin is sail to have ritdde propositions of a nature to re-
move all idea of a conflagration. The following issaid
to be a summary of the,e propositions: Institution of
a new council of administration, which is to be com-
posed partly of Schleswiggers, and partly of Hol-
steiners, presided over by Prince Ferdinand, the heir
presumptive to the Crown of Denmark: This appears
to be a good arrangement; up to the present time
this Prince has remained completely aloof from the
movements of the two duchies, and the decision which
he may come to gives a seal of impartiality to the
affair."
