DEFERRED M

-NUITIES.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by th• con
tribntion of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue preMiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

BELGtUm.

BRUSSELS, AUG 9.—The liioniteur Beige contradicts
the report that passports are to be suppressed in Bel-
gium, and that foreigners will in future be permitted
to visit and travel about the country without being
furnished with passports.
As this report must give rise to serious inconveni-
ence, the Moiziteur states that the privilege granted
merely extends to the abolition
of the special verifi-
cation of passports on the frontiers, immediately on
the arrival of the trains ; but that travellers must be
furnished with regular papers, which will be called
for by competent authorities.

HOLLAND.
THE HAGUE, AUG. 10.—The Stoats Courant of

Minister for the Home Department to close the pre-
sent session of the States General, in the place
of his Majesty, in a combined sitting of the two
Chambers, on Tuesday, the 20th of this month.
The First and Second Chamber of the States Ge-
neral will accordingly be dissolved ; and the convo-
cation of the new provincial states being fixed for
the 9th September, the election of the new Mem-
bers of the First Chamber of the States General
will take place on the 11th of September, and the
election of the Second Chamber of the States General
on the 27th of August. The convocation of the
two chambers, elected according to the new funda-
mental law, is fixed for Monday, the 16th of
September.

William Chadwick, convicted capitally as an c
ac-
cessory before the fact for the murder, by poison, t his
late uncle, at the Stafford Assizes, before Dlr. Justice Wil-
has been respited during pleasure, a course of pro-
pro-
ceeding which is virtually tantamount to a commutation of
the extreme punishment into transportation for life. There
is no instance, we believe, of the extreme sentence being in-
flicted after a respite during pleasure. The execution of
Chadwick had been fixed for Saturday next. the 17th inst.,
but we believe that the case admitted of sufficient doubt to
have satisfied the Learned Judge that a different verdict might
possibly have been come to, or, at all events, that there was
sufficient doubt to incline to the side of humanity. The re-
spite for Chadwick was sent down by post yesterday after-
noon to Stafford, but in consequence of the new Sunday
postal arangements, it is likely that the unfortunate prisoner
may not receive the news of the clemency extended to him
before to-morrow afternoon, although every possible effort
was considerately made by the authorities to diminish the
period of suspense endured by the wretched man.—Sunday

DOE DE3I. RENNET V. HALE.

This case, it will be rememlVred, was tried at the last
spring assizes, whe❑ Mr. Newton took a brief from tho
defendant himself without the intervention of an attor-
ney, and the Learned Judge' (Patteson) before whom
the case was' tried, refused to hear hire for the defend-
ant. The verdict then being for the lessor of the plain-
tiff, Mr. Newton subsequently applied to the court ab eve
for a new trial, on the (ground that the court hero was
bound to hear him, and the new trial was granted,
and now came on for hearing. The action was un-
defended, the defendant having, as we understood,
again eschewed the interference of an attorney, and of-
fered a brief—drawn up by himself we presume—to Mr.
Skinner, who declined it. A verdict was accordingly
given a second time for the lessor of the plaintiff.

ITALY.

The Risorgimento of Turin quotes a letter from
Civita Vecchia of the 21st ult., stating that the
Spanish Ambassador at Rome had made serious re-
presentations to the Ecclesiastical Court, for having
so suddenly conceded the dispensations required for
the marriage of Count Montemolin with his cousin ;
but that Cardinal Orioli answered that the affair was
not at all submitted to the court, but was settled in a
private interview between his Holiness and the
Countess of Spaur. The same letter states that the
Chapter of the Order of Dominican Friars having
assembled to elect their general, his Holiness unex•
pectedly stopped the proceedings, and by his own au-
thority, contrary to the statutes of the order, named
Father Jeandel, a French Dominican, now living in
France. It is believed his Holiness intends remodel-
ling the constitutions of the religious orders, and to
do away with the system of election, as being too de-
mocratic.

The Opinione of Turin, of the stb, states that the
Austrians are forming a new camp at Somma, and
that recruiting is actively going on in Switzerland
for Rome and Naples.

A letter from Frankfort of the sth says :—" To

eight—those of Bavaria, Hanover, Wurtemburg,
Denmark (for the Duchy of Holstein), Luxemburg,
Electoral Hesse, and her own ; but she is now
making the greatest efforts to obtain that of the
Grand Duchy of Heise, which hesitates to grant it
from fear of the hostility of Prussia."
It is stated in a letter from Berlin of the 6th, in
the,lndeperulance of Brussels, that there is no truth
in the statement which has been made, to the effect
that Prussia had warned Denmark, that if her
troops should pass the Eider, she would send a
corps d'armie to the assistance of the Schleswig-
Holsteiners.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The, 'Coiner Zeitung publishes the following tele.
graphic dispatches :
" Berlin, Wednesday, August 7.
:" The semi-official organs contradict the report of the
Chevalier Bunsen's recall."
- . " Rendsburg, Wednesday, August 7.
" At 11 o'clock this m,,rotng a lamentable explosion
occurred here in one of the laboratories in which the
fabrication of shrapnels is carried on. A portion of the
laboratory was prjected into the air, and in the old
town, which is the Military quarter, several houses were
damaged.
" At the time the train started the fire was already
extinguished."

"Ilamburzh. Thursday, August
.8.

" The post from here to Friedrichsia.it 'has been
obliged to turn back. Tho reason has not transpired.
The town, it is known, lies on the north bank of the
Eider, and not far from the western coast. Nothing
has reached here respecting any advance made by the
Danes. 387 Danish prisoners have been brought into
Altona from Rendsburg. The destruction of life caused
by the explosion yesterday i❑ Rendsburg appears to be
consideraule. The number of killed and severely
wounded is stated at 200, and SO are already buried.
Not One house in the old town has escaped injury."

PETITIONS AGAINST PRIVATE BILLS.

Mr. W. PATTEN gave notice that on Monday next
he should move that three days' notice should be given
at the Private Bill-office of an intention to oppose the
second reading of a private Bill.
London, England, 1850-02-23

PRICES OF CORN.

Mr. EVELYN DENISON wished to know whether
the returns, alluded to by the Hon. Member for West-
bury (Mr. Wilson) last night, of the prices of corn in
Belgium and France, were of an official character, and
could be hid on the table for the information of the House?
Mr. WILSON said the information was not received
thrcugh the Foreign-office, but it came directly to him
from official sources in Paris, Berlin, and Brussels, and,
so tar as he was concerned, he should he glad to facili-
tate the object the Hon. Gentleman had in view of laying
them on the table. Perhaps the proper cuurse would be
to ask his Right I-lon. Friend the President of the Board
of Trade to lay the papers on the table through his
department.
Mr. DISRAELI apprehended that the que.tien put
to the Honourable Member for Westbury was whether
he received the information in his official capacity or
in any other capacity.
Mr. WILSON stated last night that he received it on
his private application.
AUSTRALIAN COLONIES.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Australian Colonies
Bill stood for committal on Monday next, but as the
question of whether there should be one house or two for
the government of the colony was likely to be raised,
he wished to postpone it until the house should be in
possession of all the information bearing upon the point.
—(Hear, hear.) A dispatch had been received this
morning, which it was highly important the House should
be in possession of before it debated the question.—
(Hear.) The lion. and Learned Gentleman had given
notice of his intention to move in Committee that there
should be two houses, instead of the proposal of the Gc-
vernment contained in this Bill; but the notice did not
.fate how the houses were to be elected—by the Crown
or by any other body—and he, therefore, hoped the
Honourable and Learned Gentleman would specify
the details of his plan.—(Hear, hear.) He should
therefore, move that the order of the day be now read
for the purpose of being postponed till this day fortnight,
when he should be in a position to state the reason the
B 11 had been prepared in its present shape.
Mr. DIVETT asked the Noble Lord to state posi-
tively that the Bill would come on then.
Lord J. RUSSELL saw no reason why it should not.
The order of the day was then recd and postponel

GUIANA.

The news from this colony is unimportant ; the
leading items from the Royal Gazette's " Review for
Home Readers" are subjoined :
" Nothing has occurred since the departure of the last
mail on the 4th inst. to disturb the political tranquillity
of the country. The estimate of the expenditure of the
present financial year, commencing the ht July, 1849,
and ending 30th June, 1850, is, including the civil list,
in its intact form, 642,958 dolls., being a saving effected
in those six-sevenths of the public expenditure which are
exclusive of the civil list, as compared with the estimate
of 1847, which was 1,083,981 dolls., of 441,023 dolls. It
is much to be regretted that so long a delay should have
occurred since 1847 in making this very proper redac-
tion in those branches of the annual expenditure of the
colony over which the combined assembly possesses
control.

" The weather during the fortnight has been almost
one uninterrupted torrent of rain. The crops of this
country, and of the neighbouring Dutch colony of
Surinam, have been seriously affected by the ex-
cessively wet weather that has now lasted for so
unusually long a period. It is some consolation, how-
ever, to reflect that it is owing to the unfavourable
season alone, and to no other unlooked-for cause,
that the produce of the colony has fallen off so heavily
in the course of the last twelve months. By a notice
contained in our present number, it will be seen that a
meeting for the promotion of immigration is appointed
measure
of take place on the 31st instant, in this city—a
of which the agricultural interests stand much in need,
but which, it is to be hoped, will be conducted with snore
economy and

GERMANY.

The Aix la Chapelle Gazette publishes the follow-
ing telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, dated the 20th :
—" The President of the Council of Ministers read
to-day in the First Chamber a royal message, inviting
the Members of the two Chambers to proceed on the
26th to the palace, where, in consequence of an indis-
position of the KING, the President of the Council will
pronounce the closing of the session."
A deputation of the Prussian Chamber of Deputies
waited a few days ago on the Ministers, to question
them respecting the negotiations with Denmark. The.
Ministers stated that Prussia entertained the sincere
desire of arriving at a satisfactory conclusion, but that
Denmark, so long as she should be supported by
some of the great powers, would persist in demanding
conditions disadvantageous to Germany.
The First Chamber of Bavaria on the 16th adopted
the Bill on the press presented by the Government,
but with considerable amendments.

RUSSIA, AUSTRIA, AND TURKEY.
VIENNA, FEB. 16.—The Lloyd of this day pub-
lishes an article from the Turkish State Gazette of
Jan. 21, relative to the extradition question, from
which we make the following extract :—" The Court
of Russia has chosen from among the proposals sub-
mitted to it by the Sublime Porte that which sug-
gests the banishment of the fugitives belonging to
Russia from the Ottoman Empire. As the carrying
out of this plan will be extremely easy to the Sub-
lime Porte, it has been determined that those of the
principal fugitives now in Schumla who are Russian
subjects shall depart under a special commission
for Varna, from whence they shall be taken by
some appointed steamer to Malta. Once in Malta,
it will be left to each individual to go to whatever
place he may choose, the Ottoman states excepted.
As this understanding has removed every obstacle
between the Sublime Porte and Russia, and a perfect
concord between the two Powers, so important to all,
is continued and consolidated, the relations with the
Russian Embassy have been again renewed. With
the Imperial Court of Austria there is a perfect un-
derstanding on the fundamental question ; but as
thi3 is not the case in regard to some minor details,
there has been a delay in the renewal of the relations
with that Court. These, it is confidently hoped, will
soon be obviated, and the much-desired relations be
re-commenced."
London, England, 1850-02-23

proposed.

JAMAICA.

The Legislature adjourned on the 18th of January,
without disposing of the bills to raise a loan and ap-
point an accountant-general. No doubt, however,
appears to be entertained in Spanish Town as to the
fate of these measures. The one can be amended, the
other must be passed as it is, or rejected.
The inland business at Jamaica still continues
dull, notwithstanding the trade brought by the Ame-
rican steamer. The foreign business has improved
in the demand for goods for the Panama and the
coast trade. Business also with Campeachy had been
resumed, which had been interrupted by the Mexican
war.

Attention appears to have been directed in Jamaica
to the culture of tobacco and cotton. The (Kingston)
Morning Journal, quoting from a Trelawny paper a
paragraph relative to native tobacco, says—
" We would inform our contemporary that the manu-
facture of cigars from tobacco the growth of this coun-
try has for a length of time past been extensively carried
on in this city. There is an establishment in King-street
where the greater portion of cigars sold in it is from to-
bacco the produce of Papine-estate, in St. Andrew, where
a superior description of that plant is extensively culti-
vated by M. Erriee, a gentleman lately arrived from
Hayti. Nothing but onergy and the means are required
to dcvelope the resourcesofthisferule country."

THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

A telegraphic announcement of the arrival of the
West India Mail, and abstract of its news, appeared
in our paper of yesterday. We now present our
readerA with more full details from the letters and
journals received.

- The Trent, Captain W. Clarke, arrived at South-
ampton yesterday morning, and landed her mails,
under the charge of Lieutenant Reilly, R.N., Admi-
ralty agent. The Trent's dates are :—Tampico, Jan.
17; Vera Cruz, Jan. 18; Havannab, Jan. 27 ; Hon-
duras, Jan. 11 ; Jamaica, Jan. 22; Demerara, Jan.
18 ; Trinidad, Tan. 20 ; Grenada, Jan. 23 ; Barbadoes,
Jan. 28; Martinique, Jan. 30; La Guayra, Jan. 22 ;
St. Jago de Cuba, Jan. 18 ; Porto Rico, Jan. 28 ; St.
Thomas's, Feb. 1 ; Bermuda, Feb. 8. There is no
mail from Antigua. The Trent bad a long outward
passage to Bermuda, owing to the outward bearing of
her paddle-shaft, which had been damaged by heavy
weather and strong ssesterly gales, and was in conse-
quence ordered home from St. Thomas, via Bermuda,
with the Northern Islands and Gulf mails. The
Thames carried on the mails conveyed out by the
Trent to Jamaica and the Gulf, from St. Thomas, on
the 30th January. The Eagle was at St. Thomas's
on 2d February; the Clyde (which sailed from
Southampton and did not reach Bermuda on the
voyage out) was at Bermuda on the 7th February.
The Trent brings 531,392 dollars, 80,000 of which
are on account of the Mexican dividends. The re-
mainder of her freight consists of 163 serous cochi-
neal ; 44 serons jalap ; 74 cases cigars ; 63 half-bar-
rels arrowroot; 3 bags frijoles; and 44 packages
sundries.

There were 12 passengers on board the Trent,
among whom were Lieutenant-Colonel Andrews,
R.A., and lady; and M. Cloquet, Belgian Consul at
Guatemala. The Trent has also brought home—
Invalids-2 sergeants, 10 privates, 6 women, and 18
children, of the 42d, from Bermuda. Distressed
British subjects-4 seamen and 33 men, 6 women
and 1 child. These were emigrants who had been
wrecked. As far as we could learn, they paid their
passage to Liverpool at New York. Their ship was a
new one, but through some cu'pable carelessness,
some port or other holes were left open when
she sailed, and was not discovered before they
were at sea, and had made several feet of
water. The cargo was a loose one of peas and
beans, which choked up the pumps. The ship be-
came a wreck, and the crew plundered the pas-
sengers during the panic, and set the ship on fire.
An English barque picked up the emigrants in the
Gulf of Florida, and being bound for Ilavannah, she
thought it best to land them at Bermuda. In land
ing them the ship went on shore and was wrecked,
and the generous captain lost his ship. The emi-
grants were 'treated well on board the Trent, for
which they are very grateful. They are very desti-
tute.

IRELAND.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in explaining a
statement alleged to have been male on the subject of
the: agitation of certain Presbyterian ministers in the
north of Ireland for a reduction of rents, tuok
occasion to state that, in his opinion, the Earl of
Clarendon was the best Lord-Lieutenant that had
ever exercised authority in Ireland. Recently several
outrages had been committed in the north of Ireland
which had been excited by the Presbyterian ministers,
aTid he wished to kaow whether the Government could
not intimate to the Synod of Ulster, that if this
course of conduct were continued t',e Royal
bounty would be withheld from these a2,Yitating
Presby t-lriaTi ministers. Ho had receives a
letter from a Presbyterian minister, calling him to ac-
count fur what he had stated in the House, which was
a high breach of privilege.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought that it
would not be politically expedient to draw the attention
of the law officers of the Crown to the conduct of these
ministers, and he knew of no method of punishing such
conduct as that complained of by the Noble Marquis,
excepting by a criminal prosecution.
The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL knew sexe .41, of the
Presbyterian clergy of the north of Ireland, and from
what he knew of them he believed that the great ma-
jority of them were averse to agitation. A more loyal
or more well-disposed body of men did not exist than
the Presbyterian clergy of the north of Ireland.
Lord BROUGHAM considered that the letter written
to the Noble Marquis was a great encroachment
upon the privileges of that House. The letter called upon
the Noble Marquis, in the name of the Tenants' Right
Association, to prove or to retract his assertions. No
doubt this body was a most respectable and a most
loyal body—more loyal now than it had been in 1793.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY explained, and
the subject dropped.
