NEW COAL TAX.---At a most numerous and
respectable MEETING of the CONSUMERS of COAL, held
ut the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, this 16th day of April,
1844, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against the new duty
of sd. per ton on Coals, about to be brought lonvard at the suggestion
of the Commissioners for Metropolitan Improvements, for the purpose
of embanking the Thames from Whitehall-place to Blackfriars-bridge ;
.

A difference arose between the parties as to the amount of
salary, and Mr. Hatton did that which Mr. Macready consi-
dered a breach of engagement ; and the question was whether
the former was entitled to a notice or not. _ _

JOHN MASTEIIMAN, Esq., SLY., in the Chair, -
The following resolutions were proposed and adopted :
Moved by B. IlAwxs, Esq., M.P. for Lambeth ; seconded by WILLIAM
OED, Esq., M.P. for Newcastle,
That an additional Tax on Coal, the cheapness of which tends so
much to the comfort of the poor, and is so essential to the prosperity
of the various manufactories established in this Metropolis and its
environs, is unjust and impolitic.
Moved by Colanel WOOD, X 1 I'. for Middlesex ; seconded by the Hon.

Mr. WurrmottE urged that the plaintiff had destroyed his
own case. Supposing the plaintiff were entitled to a week's
notice from the time of discontinuing his services, and to two
guineas for a _performance of a mongrel kind, similar to that
of Punch, where one figure moves and a person speaks from
behind, the defendant had more than covered his demand by
the payment of 121. Is. 6d. into Court.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF having summed up, the jury
returned a verdict for the defendant.

Captain Rots, M.P. for Westminster,
That the purpose to which this tax is proposed- to be applied does
not justify so obnoxious an imposition.
Moved by Lord HARRY G. VANE, for South Durham ; seconded

by WM. CMRISTIE, Esq.,
That a petition, embodying these sentiments be adopted, and John
Masterman, Esq., M.P., the Chairman of this meeting, be requested

with the other metropolitan Members, be requested to support the
prayer thereof, and that a deputation consisting of the members pre-
sent, with power to add to their number, request an interview with
Sir Robert Peel, Bart., in reference thereto.
Moved by B. BATEMAN, Esq., Chairman of the Chartered as Com-

pany ; seconded by J. C. PRIOR, sq.
That these resolutions, be advertised in the usual morning and
evening papers, with the names of the mover and seconder.
JOHN MASTEEMAN, Chairman.
Moved by DAVID BARCLAY, Esq., M.P. for Sunderland ; seconded by

Iwax PONTIFEX, Esq. ; resolved unanimously. •
That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Chairman for the
handsome manner in which he came forward to assist on this im-
portant occasion, and for his able and impartial conduct in the chair.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR-
ANCE SOCIETY,
26, CORNHILL, LONDON.
Capital 2600,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both In its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the fall benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; and this bonus aceording to au equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums

ADMIRALTY COURT, April 16.
TILE ELIZABETH. m4A- LVAGE.
This was an action to recoitompensation for alleged
salvage services rendered by two licensed boatmen to a
schooner named the Elizabeth, of 60 tons (new measure-
ment), bound on a voyage from London to Canton, which
met with a gale of wind near the_lsle of Portland, and, it
being feared that she had sprung a leak, the master put back,
and when off Dungeness, on the evening of the 13th of Ja-
nuary, hoisted a light for a pilot (as he alleged), and was
boarded by the salvors, by whose aid the vessel was brought
into Dover harbour. The owners contended that the service
was one of pilotage, and tendered 101., which was consider-
ably more than the ordinary rate of pilotage. The salvors
claimed to have performed a salvage service, for which 101.
was inadequate. The value of ship and cargo was 2,3001.
After hearing Dr. Haggard for the salvors, and Dr. Addams
for the owners, who characterised the action as an attempt
at extortion,
Dr. LUSHINGTON, repeating the doctrine he had often laid
down, that a pilot is not bound to take charge of a vessel
which required services of another kind, not in the ordinary
course of navigation for the ordinary pilotage alone, declared
his opinion that this case was not one of mere pilotage, and
that 101. was not an adequate reward for it, and he al-
lotted 201.
