rrIlE MARINERS and GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY.
Expressly established for Insurances on the Lives of Mariners,
(whether members of the Royal or Mercantile Navy) and Military
officer .—lt is to he noted that the Policies of this Company will
Cove,- voyages of every description and service in every part o f the
globe. - -
The Lives of Fishermen and Boatmen also insured.

High rates of premium-have hitherto operated against this kind of
Assurance, but as the scale now adopted will be found as low as is
consonant with the risk, it is believed that this fact, coupled with
other advantages, will induce a great increase of insurers.
Deferred Annuities to Mariners granted upon very moderate
Premiums.

The Premiums for General Assurances are based upon a new ad-
justed table of mortality.
. Ten pound per cent. of the profits to be applied in making a provi-
sion for destitute and disabled Mariners.

ROME, FEB. 20.—The Crown Prince of Wurtemberg
will leave in a few days for Naples, for which capital the
Duke and Duchess of Argyll, the Marquis of Lorn, and Lady
Emma Campbell, are on the eve of departing, and from
thence the Duke and Duchess of Argyll and family will, by
easy stages, return to England. Earl Compton and Lord
William Compton, Earl and Countess of Cadogan, and the
Ladies Augusta and Honoria Cadogan, intend also shortly to
proceed to London. The Chesterfield hounds have afforded
the greatest amusement, not alone to the English portion of
the visitors, but as well to those from Russia and Austria,
who entered with much Ardour into the spirit of that English
national sport. The Carnival is exceedingly gay, and on
Giovedi grass° (the best day of those festivities) the weather
was beautifully fine, and more resembled MH thl February,
which added much to the general mirth. The accounts from
Ancona continue to describe that city in a state of great ex-

THE CASE OF SAMUEL GRAY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from a
person of the name of Samuel Gray, who stated that he had
been tried four times for the offence of shooting at persons in
Ireland, and that on the last occasion he was convicted. An
objection had been raised, he said, to the peremptory chal-
lenge which he had claimed. 't hat question came on for dis-
cussion before the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, and the
decision was against him. tle wished very much to appeal to
their Lordship? House against that decision. He was, how-
ever, destitute of funds necessary for the purpose, and prayed
their Lordships to provide him with funds. He (the Lord
Chancellor) feared that their Lordships had no means of
doing that.

itXXSCELMANZOTYS.

Within the last few days a numerously signed requisition
from the inhabitant rate-payers of St. Stephen's, Walbrook,
has been presented to Alderman Gibbs, soliciting him, as
churchwarden, to take the sense of the parishioners respect-
ing the adoption of the Act for the better regulation of ves-
tries, enacted in the second year of the reign of King Wil-
liam IV., and commonly known as Hobhouse's Act, whereby
the interest of the rate-payers would be more largely repre-
sented in the parish vestry than they are at present In the
select one. The Alderman has complied with the requisi-
tion, and there is no doubt that there will be a large majority
of votes in favour of the alteration, and that it will come into
effect at Easter.

At the annual meeting of students held yesterday, says the
Aberdeen Herald of Saturday, for the election of the Lord
Rector of Marischal College and University, the votes were
equally divided between the Marquis of Breadalbane and the
Marquis of Bute. The result is, there' eau be no Rector for
this year.

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 th 2 full 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
en the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums.

NEW LEAGUE.

A new League, under the title of " The Improved
Currency League," has been originated in the me-
tropolis, and is holding its weekly meetings every
Friday evening, at the Partheniun? Rooms, St. Mar-
tin's-lane. The following petition, as unanimously
agreed to at it's first meeting, and since presented to
the Lords by the Duke of Richmond, and to the Com-
mons by Lord Ashley, will supply a tolerably accu-
rate account of the vrews taken by the new League :
"To the Honourable the Commons of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parlia.
ment assembled.
" The humble Petition of Members of the gm-

proved Currency League,' and other persons in
public_ meeting assembled, at the Parthenium
Rooms, in the City of Westminster,
" Showeth,—That it is the opinion of your petitioners
that the present system of inadequate gold, and fluctu-
ating acid unsound paper currency, is rapidly pauper-
ising, demoralising, and
,enslaving the people.
" That your petitioners believe that the part of limit-
ing or making all money subordinate to only one par-
ticular and very scarce description of property, and
that an article of foreign produce, and of uncertain
supply, termed cow, and maintaining for it a fixed stan-
dard of value, is in the highest degree impolitic, as well
as unjust.
"That its impolicy is shown by the oft-recurring
panics and stagnations in banking, mercantile, and agri-
cultural affairs, whereby the banking, trading, agricul-
tural, and other classei of society, are frequently
compelled to make ruinous sacrifices of their property,
and labour ; and that its injustice is apparent from the
fact that under it, as compared with the currency which
the country possessed from the years 1797 to 1819, and
whengeld was left to find its natural level in value,
everything except money has become so much cheaper,

RAILWAYS.

Mr. MUNTZ presented a petition from ilirmingham, in
favour of a fair competition in the conveyance of goods on
railways.

PETITIONS.

Dr. BOWRING presented a petition agreed on at a public
meeting in Liverpool, which the Hon. Member stated, but for
the desire of having it speedily presented, would have been
signed by 0,000 persons. It stated the petitioners' satisfac-
tion at the intention expressed by her Majesty, to redress the
grievances of the people, and they hoped the House
would respond to her gracious intention. '1 hey com-
plained of the imperfect state of the representation
of the country, and of the powers assumed by that
House in taxing the people, notwithstandiug that im-
perfect condition of the representation. They requested the
House not to put military power into the hands of the Go-
vernment, to maintain a state of things in Ireland that would
be intolerable in England. 'I hey complained of the manner in
which money was voted away in that House, and of the in-
tolerable wrong that such a multitude thould be obliged to
pay such sums, while they were not concerned, directly or
indirectly, with the representation ; and they prayed that no
more public money should be granted until their grevances
were redressed.

Mr. WILSON PATTEN presented a petition from Preston
against the monopoly in the conveyance of goods on railways.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented a petition from Kettering,
signed by 597 of its inhabitants, complaining that taxation took
away from the working man a large portion of his weekly
earnings. They alleged that taxation without representation
was tyranny, and they prayed that before voting away the
public money the House would proceed to redress the people's
grievances ; also a petition from the wood-sawyers and masons
of Aberdeen to the same effect.

DECLARATION OF THE GUARDIANS OF BRENT,

DEVON,

We, the undersigned, sole Way—declare that before Thomas Ro-
bins, one of our parishioners, comenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic
Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some
of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them) ; that
before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement,
and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely
restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried
various sorts of medicines before taking Halse's Scorbutic Drops,"

The sooty 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 duriag life, as well
as ta afford the full 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, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of Mturo
premiums.

AN ENGLISH DINNER

The following amusing and thoroughly " French"
description of an English " dinner" is given in the
Constitutionnel, the Parisian organ of M. Thiers :
" Madeira wine has been out of fashion in England for
some time. Sherry and Port (to which are occasionally
added Bordeaux and Champagne, Rhenish wines, and
Hermitage) are now the only wines to be seen on the tables
of the rich. A s for beer (the national drink), it only makes
its appearance at a banquet for remembrance sake, and
in a very small quantity. Port wine is held in especial
favour by the English, because, whilst it is more im-
pregnated with alcohol than any other, it is at the
same time the least irritating, and facilitates more than
alt the rest the important operations of the digestive
organs. In order, however, to be pessessed of all
the requisite qualities, it must not only be of
the finest growth, or have been eight or nine years in
the cellar, but the regular connoisseurs insist that
it must cross the line several times in order to be first-
rate. Fiee or six servants, with powdered wigs, in silk
stockings and knee-breeches, hover about the table. The
covers are always changed at every successive coarse, and
there is no fear of eating off the dirty plate of one's
neighbour. or using his knife and fork, the sideboard
being laden with piles of plates and conveniences of everp.
description. After fish, which always constitutes the first
course, the host invites one of his guests to drink a glass
of wine with him, desiring him to help himself to that
which he likes best. You take that which is offered
you. Your host then pours out a glass for himself, and
sends you the bottle by a servant, You fill your glass,
you raise it to your lips with a half-bow, and drink as
much of it as you feel inclined. The same ceremony io
repeated amongst the other guests. It should be men-
tioned that if you ask a lady to take wine, you always
fill her glass before your own; but if you invite
a gentleman. so to do, you never fail to help your,
self first. This cumstom was formerly very mconi e•
nient to strafigers, it being then absolutely necessary to
empty one's glass ;at present you nee only drink a
portion, and ladies may satisfy the rules of etiquette by

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 6, 1844.

In the House of Lords the Horse-Racing Bill and
the Metropolitan Improvement Bill received the
Royal assent.
In answer to a question from Lord NORMANBY, the
LORD CHANCELLOR said the law Lords were divided
in opinion in the case relating to Presbyterian Mar-
riages, but when a decision was given he should move
the re-appointment of the Committee.
'The Marquis of CLANRICARDE put three questions
to the- Earl OfT)EvoN relative to the Irish Land Te-
nure Commission. They were, Whether the Commis-
sion would affect leases already entered into; whe-
ther they had prepared any report as to the propor-
tion of rent to the value of land ; and whether the
eyidence taken before the Commission would be printed?
The Earl of DEVON said the whole of the cases in-
westigated would be reported; but he could not answer
the other questions.
The House adjourned at a Quarter-past Six.
On-a question put by Sir WILLIAM HEATHCOTE,
Chairman of the Colchester and Ipswich Railway
Committee, relative to the claim of certain parties to
act as agents before Committees, those parties not
being Parliamentary agents, a discussion arose, which
was terminated by the opinion of the SPEAKER, who
said that Parliamentary agents were the only persons
admitted by the Standing Orders of the House to
appear before Committees. The House acquiesced in
this decision.

After the presentation of a • number of petitions,
Mr. WARP gave notice that; on an early day after
Easter, he would move for a Committee of the whole
Souse, to inquire into the present state of the tem-
poralities of the Irish Protestant Church. This
announcement was received with cheers.
Mr. WILLIAMS moved that no motion, if opposed,
shall be brought on and discussed in the House after
midnight.
The CHANCELLOR of the. EXCUEQUEE opposed the
motion, and blamed the Honourable Member for
foventry and others for making long speeches, which
led to the inconvenience complained of.
Mr. BROTIJERTON said he never made long speeches,
and expressed a wish that the QUEEN would imitate
the example of her illustrious predecessor, ELIZA-
BETH, and admonish Members not to consume so
much, time in making long speeches.

The .House divided, when there were for the motion
16, and against it 146.
No other business of importance came before the
HOuse, which adjourned at Seven o'Clock.

• We return to the debate of Friday last, the 2d
instant, on the Navy Estimates, in order to direct
attention more particularly to some of the important
• points, calling for the early attention of the Admi-
ralty authorities, to which our limits, on a former occa-
sion, did not allow us to advert. The result of our long
.experience as journalists is a conviction that no means
caii be employed for, the. remedy of abuses in any
department of the public Service, so effective as
the pressing them on the public at large, rather than
on any given branch of its executive service. We,
therefore, make no apology for repeating Captain
rxckumi's remark, that when there is some difficulty

SP.E NC E R'S CELEBRATED CHINESE
LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who have had the pleasure of using
Spencer's Chinese Liquid- Li•• Dye, pronounce it to be the only Dye
extant which will effectualfy- charge, in• a few minutes, red or grey
hair to a dark brown or black, and it can be proved incontestibly
that it is the safest dye in its use that ever was prepared. Red or
grey hair, whiskers, eyebrows, moustaches, &c., are changed without
trouble, by simply using a comb we, Val with the liquid; one applica-
tion will produce a pleasing and a permanent change. The colour
it imparts to the hair can never be discovered to have been ef-
fected by dye, it being so perfectly natural, and neither washing, per-
spiration, or anything will in the least fade nr affect the colour pro.
duced. Hundreds of ladies who wore false hair, because their own
became grey, wear nsw their own. Also, thousands of gentlemen
who had grey or red whiskers, c hich was a great disfigurement, have
become quite dark from the use of SPENCER'S CHINESE LI-
QUID HAIR DYE. Any lady or gentleman may dye their hair
with ease and secresy in a few minutes. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and 10s.

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSULI, DEC. 16.—T0-day being the 54ith anni-
versary of his Majesty's birth-day, the public edifices,
the hotels of the Ministers of the Foreign Legations,
&c., and the vessels in the basins of the canals, were
adorned with the national colours. "Te Deum " was
chanted in the church of St. Gudule, where Divine ser-
vice was performed, and attended by the Ministers of
Great Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, and Holland ;
by MonseignorPecci. the Papal Nuncio; and by the En-
voys and Charge d'Affaires of the different Powers.
There was to hare been a grand review of the gar-
rison, but it was prevented by the bad weather.
In the sitting of the Chamber to-day, M. Lejeune
moved that the petitions from several merchants who
object to the equality of import on roasted coffee and
coffee nut roasted, should be referred to the Standing
Committee of Commerce and Manufactures.

The Chamber then proceeded to the final vote on the
Budget of the Department of Justice.
Only one article, that relating to public worship, gave
rise to any debate of importance. After a long discus-
sion, the augmentation asked for by the Minister was
agreed to by a majority of 51 to 18. Two Members de-
clined ♦oting.
The whole of the Budget was then voted unanimously
by 6t Messabera, two only declining.
To-morrow the debate on the treaty with the Zollre-
rein will be resumed.

Tun ORYNEY MAIL.---After being detained for
ten days, the Orkney mail-boat crossed the Pentland
Frith or, Friday last, December 6, bringing across no

SAYINGS' BANxs.-..The Government having put
the screw upon depositors, by a reduction of the in-
terest, it is pretty evident there is a disposition to apply
the same instrument to the paid officers, unless trustees
and managers are alive to the movement. We never
hear of the Government applying the " screw" to them-
selves and their friends. No: no! applying it to others
is one thing, and applying it to themselves is another
thing
