LIFE DEPARTMENT.
ACTUARY.—.J. T. Clement, Esq,
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the
Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of
5 per 'cent. to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual
interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum,
without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been
calculated, en which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half
the premium may remain on interest at s,per cent. for five years,
thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,000/. on the immediate
payment of the premium for 5001. only.
The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001.
for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by
merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should
the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then
be deducted.
Age 20, without profits •• £1 13 0 With profits

For short periods the Premiums are considerably lower, and fbr
any ages or contingencies not usually advertised information may be
obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.
FIRE DAPARTMENT.
The Company insure houses, furniture, stock in trade, farming
stock, and every description of personal property, against loss or
damage by fire.
The Directors beg to remind their friends whose Premiums become
due at Midsummer, that no extra charge is made at this Office for the
transfer of Policies, and that they will be rated on terms peculiarly
favourable to parties insuring.
Insurances may be effected for any period of time ; if for seven
years, the Premium and Duty.will only be charged for six.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

The weekly meeting of the Association was held this day, Sir
Simon Bradstreet, Bart., in the chair.

Mr. M. O'CONNELL having announced the receipt of 291. from
Ardagh, proceeded to advert to the late murder in the county of
Cavan, and expressed his conviction that it was the duty of every
individual to use his best exertions to hunt out the perpetrators of
that atrocious deed. On concluding his observations, the Hon.
Gentleman read a letter from Mr. O'Connell to Martin Crean,
Esq , dated London, June 26, announcing that he should not be
able to attend the meeting, as he considered it incumbent on him
to attend the Committee on the Irish Academical Bill. He thus
concludes his letter:—

Can there be found one single rational being in Ireland to deny
that there is but one remedy, and that only to be found in the re-
storation of our Irish Parliament. No man can be loyal to the
Monarch, or attached to the connexion with Great Britain, who
does not see that the only means of preserving the connexion be-
tween the two countries is by the restoration of the Irish Parlia-
ment.

" I return, therefore, to Ireland, more deeply convinced than
ever of the necessity of the repeal of the union. I return to that
struggle with unabated ardour and continuing perseverance—to
seek for it by legal, peaceable and constitutional means, and none
other. But to seek for it with a determination and continuousness
that before long must ensure success.

THEN, FOR THE REPEAL!
I hive the honour to be, your very faithful servant,
" DANIEL O'CONNELL."

Captain BRODERICK moved the adoption of a petition to Par-
liament on the subject of the relations between landlord and tenant.
The document detailed several cases of oppression which occurred
on the estate of J. Kavanagh, Esq., in the county Carlow, and
urged the equity of giving tenants compensation not only for
future improvements, but also for those which have been already
made.

Mr. M. O'CONNEEL called the attention of the meeting to the
attack which Mr. Roebuck had madu on the repeal Members in his
place in Parliament, and observed that "the man who lives in glass
houses should not throw stones."

Mr. DOHENY moved the adoption of the address of the Associa-
tion to Mr. Smith O'Brien, for the admirable manner in which he
repelled the attack made upon him by Mr. Roebuck.
Mr. GnArrAN, in a vigorous address, seconded its adoption.
After the disposal of some routine business,
Mr. O'CONNELL announced the rent for the week to be
3824 I Is. 3d.

The Committee then proceeded to the consideration of the
Dublin, Wexford, and Carlow Railway.

Messrs. Austin, Murphy, Talbot, Woolridge, and Martin, ap-
peared for the promoters. Mr. Alexander and Sir Walter Ryddel
on behalf of the Coast Line from Dublin to Wexford and Wa-
terford.

Mr. AUSTIN opened the case on behalf of the Bill, and pointed
out with great clearness and ability, the commercial and agricul.
tural advantages which would result frem this line, after which
he proceeded to call evidence in its behalf.
Mr. Seckey, a landowner in the county of Carlow, gave evidence
as to the general advantage which the line would confer on the
country of Carlow. The population of the county was 86,000
that of town about 10,000. The present conveyanoes between the
towns of Wexford and Carlow were ♦ery inadequate. The traffic
in agricultural produce and cattle was very great, and if the rail.
way was formed, there was no doubt but that it would be immense
service in conveying these.
The Committee then adjourned till Monday.

The remaining clauses of this Bill were gone through, and the
Chairman instructed to report it to the House.

GROUP FF.

The Select Committee on this group re-assembled at the usual
hour this morning, and proceeded with the evidence in favour of the

EDINBURGH AND NORTIZERN LINE.

Mr. James Beard, a farmer and tile manufacturer, residing near
Narburgh, said he annually manufactured 700,000, and the fuel
used in tie manufacture was brought at an enormous expense from
Little Dysart. He annually consumed 481) tons of coal,
which cost him 14s. per ton, while the cost of cartage from
Lochgelly ranged from 9s. 6d. to 10s., and from Clackmannan
from ss. to ss. 6d. per ton. Those coals would certainly come
upon the railway, in the event of its being made, for the line
would pass in the immedite vicinity of his works. At present he
sent his tiles by water to Perth and Dundee. It was a dangerous
and expensive mode of conveyance, and he should certainly prefer
the railway, should it ever be constructed. Large quantities of
potatoes were brought from the interior of the country and shipped
at Perth. He knew of his own knowledge that at cne pier alone,
of which he was lessee, 2,400 tons were shipped annually, and he
had no doubt, therefore, the railway would greatly facilitate the
transit of that article.

The witness was cross-examined by Mr. AITON at some length,
but his evidence was in no point shaken.
Mr. Robert Philip, a merchant at Leith, gave corroborative tes-
timony. He said he was well acquainted with the route of the
proposed railway, At its northern terminus it had a communica.
tion with the Granton Railway, which ran to Edinburgh, where it
effected a junction with the Glasgow and North British lines.
He had, therefore, no doubt whatever that the line would prove
of considerable advantage to the country at large, and more espe-
cially to the various populous and important districts through
which it passed.

LONDON AND itTORAVICI-1 =RECT.

-
The Committee on this line met this morning at the usual hour.
Previous to the resumption of business, Lord SANDON states
that he thought it might facilitate the conduct of the case, to inform
the Counsel on each side, that in regard to the lines from Bury to
Bishop's Stortford,and from Bury to Chelmsford, the Committee en-
tertained a decided preference for the latter; and though that opi-
nion might be shaken by subsequent evidence, yet, on the prima
facie view, they could see no advantages, either in respect of traffic
or population, on the country round Bishop's Stortford, which could
possibly compete with those offered by the Chelmsford Branch.
Mr. GIRBEN assured the Committee that he had evidence of a
character so conclusive, as would, he thought, remove the impres-
sion at present entertained, and establish a case of traffic on the
Bishop Stortford line, as startling to the Committee as decisive of
the absolute necessity of its construction. He conjured them to re-
serve their opinion till the evidence of most satisfactory witnesses
had been adduced, and proved the vast superiority of the line
through Bishop Stortford.
Lord SANDON explained that he merely threw out the suggestion
to enable Counsel to curtail or shape their course differently.
The examination of witnesses was then continued.
Frederick Nunn, examined by Mr. LEE—Is a butcher and
cattle-feeder at Bury ; there is a considerable business in the trans.
mission of dead meat to London, which would be materially in-
creased by the construction of a direct line to London The mar-
ket at Bury is, for the size of the town, one of the largest in
the kingdom. Has known nine hundred head of cattle, and between
ten thousand and twelve thousand sheep sold at one time there.
Bishop Stortford is a very extensive malting district, and facilities
of accommodation are greatly needed between that town and the
metropolis. At present as much as 44 per ton is charged for the
carriage of oil-cake and other goods by the tedious route from
London.
By Mr. COBDEN—Large quantities of oil.cake are consumed at
Bury, which had been imported at Ipswich from Hamburgh.
Cross examined by Mr. ItawiANson—The chief market at Bury
is for lean beasts and lean sheep, the majority of which comes
from Scotland and Lynn, which are fattened on the turnips so
abundant in those districts. The oil-cake is used for manure, and
it 1$ now procured chiefly at the London markets. Is a small
