sum payable in the event of death to the executors of the assured, or
to himself upon the attainment of the ages of 45, 50; or 60.

' PECULIAR ADVANTAGES OF THIS INSTITUTION.
. . .

Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums,
by which means Assurances may be effected with the least possible
present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder
will become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu-
tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid the whole amount
of his premiums in advance, in the usual way.
Thus, for example—a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age,
instead of paying 21. Gs. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would
be:required to pay 11. 3s. only during the first five years, when, on
payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 51. 155., his share
of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre-
miums to very little more than the half Premium of 11. 3s. originally
paid by him. The Great Britain is the only Mutual Assurance
Society in which this very great accommodation is given to the As-
sured.

, Credit allowed for the whole of the first five Annual Premiums, on
satisfactory security being given for tile payment of the same at the
expiration of live years.
All the profits of the Institution divided annually among the Policy-
holders who shall have paid live Annual Premiums.
Full particulars are detailed in the Prospectus, which, with every
requisite information, may be obtained by application to

licies effected for the whole term of life.
On policies of five years' standing, half the amount paid, after the
first year's premium, may be borrowed thereon by the Assured.
Advances are a'so made to Assurers on real or undoubted personal
security, for terms of years, repayable by instalments.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
AN Experience in the Affairs of India, acquired
in a service of thirty-five years on the Bombay Establish-
ment, in the course of which I have held the highest offices to which
your servants can aspire, encourages me to offer myself as a Candi-
date for a Seat in your Direction. Faithfhl to India, from my long
most intimate connection with it, I must ever continue deeply in-
terested in its affairs ; while to do good to its people must ever form
one of the chief leading objects of my mind—one of the great objects
to which I would still desire to apply all my energies.
With these feelings, and the experience from so lengthened a ser-
vice I should bring to your affairs, I trust, if by your favour I am
placed in the high position I seek, I should be found useful to the
continuance of your good government, and to the welfare of the vast
country over which your authority extends.
. .

I shall take the earliest opportunity of waiting upon you person-
ally, and submitting to you the favourable testimonials I have re-
ceived from the Government under which and with which I have so
long served..

I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,

This Association is formed for the purpose of affording to the agri-
cultural interest, by means of its collective capital, the funds neces-
sary, for the I thorough draining of land ; and of executing and
superintending the execution of the works required for this purpose
ote the most economical and effective principles ; repayment of the
m+ney advanced to be made, with interest, by such equitable half-
yrly instalments, as in the several cases may be determined.
Among the various objects to which of late years collective capital
been more or less successfully applied, it is not a llttle sur-
prising that the one which, of all others, offers the most certain and
prOtable return, with the soundest security, should have hitherto
befn almost disregarded. The time, however, has arrived, when an
urgent desire for agricultural improvement on the one hand, and a
dearth of safe and profitable investment for superabundant capital
oil the other, renders such an Association highly desirable to both
the landed and moneyed interest, whilst to the community generally
an almost incalculable advantage will be secured by a proportionate
~
increase of labour and food.
The Provisional Committee have determined to limit the time for
receiving Applications for Stock in this Association to THURSDAY,
ti 4 30th inst., on which day the List will be closed preparatory to
the Allotment being made.
Prospectuses may be obtained from the Solicitors, Messrs.

LLOYD'S SHIPPING.
INSURRECTION AT AUX CAYES.
The following is an extract of adetter received at
Lloyd's from their agent at Aux Cayes, dated the 19th
April inst..: " Another revolutionary movement has
taken place in this quarter, and with such success that
this town is in the hands of the insurgents since the 4th
inst. After an action in the heart of the town—they
have marched their army, called L'Arm63 Souffrante to
Port au Prince, but there are forces to oppose them at
Aquin, headed by a firm adherent of the President. It is
yet hard to say which party will succeed, but the black
population. who have undertaken this enterprise, appear
decided to govern the country themselves to the exclu-
sion of the coloured people. Should they not succeed
they will be apt on falling back on this town, to commit
disorders."

CURRENTS OF THE OCEAN.
M. M. Frederick Gautier, the French Consul-General
in England, has transmitted to Lloyd's three pieces of
paper, which were contained in bottles picked up on the
coast of Cape Breton, Bayonne, on the 14th April last.
This is another mark of the polite attention of the
French Government upon subjects of this nature.

ESCAPE OF A SLAVE GIRL.—The following inte-
resting particulars of the escape of a slave girl, and her
preservation from a painful and lingering death at
sea in an open boat, is taken from a Cape of Good
Hope paper, received by the last arrival :—" The
Woodlark, Captain W. Hardie, reports, that on
Tuesday, March 21, 1843, whilst cruising off
Alatabello Isles, in the Banda Sea, in quest of
sperm whales, she observed a canoe about three miles
distant, with one person in it paddling towards us, and
sent a boat with some bread and water and a few green
cocoa-nuts. At sunset the boat got up with the canoe.
There was only one person, a New Guinea girl, in it, who
jumped into our boat immediately it got alongside the ca-
noe, and pointed to a cocoa-nut, which was given to her
with some water. There was nothing in the canoe but a
a small piece of salt fish, two paddles, and two fish spears.
The' boat towed the canoe alongside, we hoisted it in,
put clean clothing upon the poor creature, offered her
a glass of wine, which she refused till the captain
tasted it before her, after which she drank it off,
and seemed to revive immediately, and ate a hearty
supper of fried fish, bread, and tea. We tried all
we could to bring her into conversation with us in the
Malay language, but she never spoke during the 10 days
she was on board, but seemed highly pleased with the
attention paid her, and particularly with the dresses
we made her. We supposed her to be a runaway
slave. She pointed to the island of Tehar, as the one
to which she belonged, but being asked in the Malay
tongue if she wished to return to her isle again, shook
her head, and pointed to the island of Comm, as if
she wished to be there, where we landed her. The
Rajah of the place promised to treat her kindly, and he
and his lady seemed very fond of her, and said they
would keep her as a household servant, for which he was
presented with a bottle of gunpowder, six yards'of calico,
and some coarse cutlery. When asked by the Rajah's
lady, what made her leave the island, she stated that the
cruelty of her father and brothers made her leave, that
when she left she did not expect to live, and did not care
what became of her."
MR. BURFORD'S PAROMARA.—Prince Albert, ac-
companied by Colonel Wylde, honoured Mr. Burford's
panomara with his presence on Wednesday last. The
Prince's visit was entirely unexpeeted, and consequently
no preparations were made to receive him. This, how-
ever, did not appear a source of the least regret to his
Royal Highness, who, having first viewed the magnifi-
cent picture of the island and bay of Hong Kong, in the
large circle, with which he expressed himself highly
gratified, ascended to the upper room, to inspect the re-
presentation of her Majesty's meeting with Louis Phil-
-111313e at Treport, the life and accuracy of which were
warmly appreciated by his Royal Highness, who sub-
sequently visited Baden Baden in the smaller circle, with
which town, being so intimately acquainted, the Prince
graciously expressed to Mr. Burford his high approba-
tion of the fidelity and accuracy of the view.
THE ' LATE ACCIDENT AT LONDoN.HRIDGE.—On
Wednesday Mr. J. Payne held an inquest at the New-
tastle Coffee-house, St. Mary-at-Hill, on William New-
ton, aged fourteen, one of the youths who lost their
lives by the upsetting of a wherry-boat, at London-
bridge on last Sunday evening. The
evidence of nu-
merous witnesses repeated the facts connected with the
melancholy occurence that have already appeared.
In the course of the inquiry the jury were in-
formed that the Wardens of the Watermen's CoMpany
were about to adopt such effectual measures as would
prevent a similar accident again occurring. The police
have also received.positive instructions to take into cus-
tody any waterman who hereafter allows a greater num-
ber of persons in his boat than he is licensed to carry.
The jury.returned a verdict of " accidental death," and
the waterman, Williams, was called in and cautioned
as to his future conduct, -his improper and illegal be..
haviour having, been the cause of the loss of so many

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
_ EDINBURGH. MONDAY, MAY 20.

After the answer to the letter of CO Queen, prepared
by the Committee, had been read, Mr. Pyper, an advo-
cate, brought forward what is called the Ceres Case,
and said he appeared for Andrew Wallace, and other pa-
rishioner of Ceres to the number of nearly 300 appellants
against a decision of the Synod of Fife, of 9th April, 1844,
affirming two several :,ententes of the Presbytery of Cu-
par, dated 31st October and Ist November, 1843. The
appeal affected the regularity of the Presbytery's proce-
dure in the reference to the settlement of the lieu. Robt.
Cook, of Ciatt, in the parish of Ceres. The Pfesbytery
met at Ceres on the 2d October, to moderate in a call to
Mr. Cook, who had preached in the church on the two
preceding Sundays. At this meeting objections against
the settlement were tendered on behalf of 226 parish-
ioners of the following tenor:— •
" 1. That his voice is so feeble for the size of the
church that he often, especially in parts remote from the
pulpit, becomes perfectly inaudible. 2. That his style
of speech is so different from that which we have been
accustomed to hear, that many of us, especially the old,
do not understand what he says. 3. That he is a man
so far advanced in life, that we do not consider he would
be capable of yielding that activity which is necessarily
demanded in a parish of such extent as Ceres." At a
subsequent meeting, on 18th October, additional objec-
tions were lodged, declaring that Mr. Cook read his
sermons, and that so slavishly, " that he is not cal-
culated to impress upon the congregation the import
of his subject, and this may be one cause that he is
so imperfectly heard, for, toward the conclusion of
his sentences his voice dies_ away to bp quite inaudible.
This, and his defect of speech and hurried pronunciation,
renders his sermons to be of little or no spiritual benefit
to the congregation." In explanation of the second ob-
jection, it was stated that it referred to Mr. Cook's rapid
pronunciation and peculiar .Aberdeenshire dialect and
accent. The Court would observe that the Presbytery
never gave any decision as to the relevancy of these
objections, or proceeded in the way they should have
done of allowing to the parishioners a proof of them,
but proceeded, without notice and in opposition
to the protest and appeal of their counsel, to call the
roll of objectors, a number of whom appear and
state their adherence more or less to the objections.
The Presbytery adjourned till the 31st of October,
to consider the case, and appointed a Committee of
their number to examine the rest of the objectors. He
(Mr. Pyper) did not now insist on the argument as to
the insufficiency of Mr. Cook's call, only with reference
to the treatment of the objectors. The Presbytery at
this meeting decided at once on hearing proof, before
they had decided as they should have done, upon the
point of relevancy. The parishioners were taken by sur-
prise. No interlocutor deciding the relevancy, and no
order to lead proof had been given, yet the Presbytery
proceeded without any intimation to the parties to hear
proof. The minute bears that 44 Mr. Macknight
lodged various mandates in behalf of objectors.
The counsel for the objectors having been repeatedly
asked to produce further evidence in the case, and
having declared that he had no more to adduce in the
meantime, the Presbytery find that the case for the
objectors is closed." At this meeting, however, the
Presbytery had no objection to lead evidence in favour
of the presentee. There could be no proof led that
day fur the objectors, no proof being asked, arul no
citation of witnessess. The objectors were thus de-
prived of any opportunity of proving their objec-
tions, and the Presbytery at once proceed to declare
their case closed, and .heard four or five witnesses in
support of the call. The Presbytery on Ist No-
vember dismissed the objections, sustained the call,
and resolved to proceed with 9: r. Cook's settlement.
The parishioners, through Mr. Macknight, appealed
to the Synod, who unanimously confirmed the deci-
sion of the Presbytery, and dismissed the appeal.
He begged to submit that the Presbytery had done
wrong in not allowing the parishioners an opportunity
of proving their objections; they never asked for evi-
dence, and all of a sudden, when the objectors were not
expecting to be called on for proof, they decide that
proof shall be led without the slightest previous notice,
and because no witnesses were present, which they
could not possibly be, they declare that the objections
had not been substantiated, and as he (Mr. Pyper)
thought had broken through all that regularity of pro-
cedure which they ought to have observed, and which
was so essential to the right administration of justice.
He craved the Assembly to reverse the sentences of the
nfcrior Courts.

After counsel had been heard on the other side,
Dr. COOK mo'red that the Assembly affirm the sen-
tence of the Synod of Fife, and remit the case to the
Presbytery of Cupar, to proceed in the settlement with
all convenient speed.
Mr. PAULL, of Tullynessle, seconded the motion of
Dr. Cook. The only case, he conceived, regarding which
they were called on to give a decision, was that relating
to the voice of the presentee ; and having carefully read
all the papers in the case, he thought there was very
ample ground for coming to the decision that the objec-
tion was undoubtedly unfounded in fact, and that they
should confirm the decision of the Court below. In re-
ference to another of these objections—the dialect of his
friend the, presentee—he was not, perhaps a proper judge
—(Great laughter)—but he must be allowed to state
a very important fact—that though Mr. Cook belonged
to Aberdeenshire—and he was sure that the pre-
sentee would not wish to deny it—(Laughter)—yet
he had often heard it remarked that it would be impos-
sible, from his language, to ascertain where he belonged
to.—(Laughter.) As to the objection regarding age, he
(Mr. Paull) might on that point also be an
unqualified judge. It would, indeed, be most extra-
ordinary if he had been told that, at the age of
fifty, he had been unable to discharge all the duties
of a parochial minister when, since that period, he
had, under the providence of God, discharged them
for ten additional years, and if he could legiti-
mately give evidence in favour of himself, had
discharged them more efficiently than during any
former period of his life. He was perfectly aware that
he ought to confine himself to the record; but still he
owed it to friendship, to justice, and to a sense of duty,
to say, in reference to his friend, Mr. Cook, that he had
known him intimately since ever he was admitted to his
present parish; and that a more zealous, a more active,
a more working minister of the Church of Scotland, it
was his firm conviction was not to be found within her
pale.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Ile begged cordially
to second. Dr. Cook's motiqn; and it would add to his
satisfaction if in this, the first case under Lord Aber-
deen's Bill, they came to a unanimous decision.
After a number of clergymen had addressed the As-
sembly, a division took place, when there were for Dr.
Cook's motion 162, and against it 78. The Assembly
adjourned at two o'clock on Tuesday morning.

his mission to the United States, of which the followinc,
is a brief extract :—" They were most thankful for the
assistance they had received from evangelical churches
both in England and in America ; but they valued them
chiefly because—as had often been avowed, it was given
merely as a testimony of approbation, sympathy, and
brotherly esteetn.—(Cheers.) He rejoiced at the sym-
pathy which the Free Curch had called forth from evan-
gelical churches, and ho was most desirous to promote
it, and friendly to co-operate with them, not because of
any pecuniary assistance which the Free Church had
received, or might yet receive, but upon far higher
grounds. The Free Church had little difficulty in
doing so, because it could occupy such a position with-
out any rise of its motives being misunderstood, except
indeed-
by those who were the meanest and basest of men
—(Laughter, and loud cheering)—men who had sold
their principles for their living—(Renewed cheering)—
or who would do so if put to the alternative.—Continued
cheering.) The Rev. Gentleman then referred to the
pecuniary results of the mission. It had not turned out
very large, and some people might regard the result with
some measure of disappointment. Looking to all the
circumstances, however, he thought the assistance in this
respect was as liberal as reasonably could be expected.
letore the deputation left this country 3,0001. had been
received from America; since then 6,0001. more had been
sent; so that, altogether, the Free Church had received
9,000/. from America.—(Cheers.) He thought that
more money would be forwarded. There were seve-
ral individuals in America who had shown great li-
berality towards the Free Church. In particular, he
could not refrain from mentioning Mr. James Lennox,
New York, who had contributed the munificent sum of
3;000/. On his detailing the hardships to which many
of the Free Church congregations had been exposed
in procuring sites for churches—for he, of course,
told them of the atrocities of such as the Duke of
Sutherland—the Americans expressed their deep sym-
pathy and burning indignation of such conduct ; and
seriously proposed that the whole Free Church—the
6bo or 700 congregations should go over and settle
in the United States—(Loud laughter and prolonged
cheering)—for there they would get rich and fertile land
of as much extent as Scotland itself, not to rent, but to
purchase, at the rate of ss. per acre. His answer to these
suggestions was, that the Free Church could not aban-
don Scotland to the Erastian Moderates.—(Cheers.)
No person had called forth so much sympathy in Ame-
rica as Janet Fraser (Thornhill), and he had been en-
trusted with the donation of a pair of silver spectacles
as a token from Elizabeth Scott, along with a letter
which he would read. He accordingly read the letter,
iiihich complimented Janet in glowing terms for grant-
i.Ag a site to the Free Church congregation in the lo-
cality in which she resides, adding that her most noble
and generous conduct formed a strong contrast to that
o her neighbour the Duke of Bticcleuch.—(Laughter
and cheers.) The Doctor concluded his address, which
occupied an hour and a half in the delivery, by calling
upon Mr. Ferguson, who had accompanied him during
his tour to America, to itidress the Assembly.
Mr. FERGUSON rose Maid much cheering, and spoke
shortly in corroboration of what Dr. Cunningham had
stated, relating a few anecdotes illustrative of the recep-
tion they had met with frord the American people, and
concluded with a very effective allusion to the circum-
stances of the success of their mission.

Dr. GORDON moved that the Assembly tender their
best thanks to Dr. Cunningham for his exertions in
their behalf, while in America, and convey to him their
ardent prayers that he might be long spared amongst
them—an honour to himself and the Church.—(Cheers.)
The MODERATOR, in a short speech, accordingly de-
liVered the thanks of the Assembly to Dr. Cunningham.
