MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
We had rather a large supply of English Wheat on
sale. The finest qualities were in fair inquiry, at Mon-
day's quotations, but all other kinds were a dull sale.
Holders of free Foreign Wheat were again firm, and ob-
tained previous figures in every instance. The supply
of Barley was good, while the demand ruled inactive at
late rates. In Malt, Oats, Beans, and Peas very little
was doing, yet prices were supported.

THIRD DIVISION OF PROFITS.

The Third Investigation of the Company's Affairs, with refer-
ence to the approaching Division of Profits, is now in progress;
and parties assuring before the close of the lists in November, 1845,
Will participate.
Looking to the prosperous condition of the Company, and the
large additions to Policies declared to 1835 and 1840, there are
great inducements to Parties assuring to give the Standard a pre-
ference. By order of the Directors,

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1845.

Previous to the meeting of Parliament the Con-
servatives—at least if we may judge from the tenor
of the speeches delivered at the anniversary dinners
which several of their Associations have been lately
holding in various parts of the country—seem anxious
to impress the public with the " great fact" that a
spirit of the most entire and cordial unanimity per.
Yades their party, who henceforth intend to pull
together as one man. Hardly less solicitious are they
to show that they are daily increasing in numerical
and moral strength, and also that their principles are
so fixed and defined that " he who runs may read"
—in fact, that there is not the slightest possibility of
mistaking them. As regards the unanimity prevailing
:among the Conservatives, the quarrels recently proved
to exist among them at Bristol, and more particularly
in the county of Durham, where, a few months since,
they were—and still, we understand, continue to be—at
sixes and sevens, is quite a sufficient answer to this
portion of their declaration ; while, with respect to
g
their principles which they boast of as being so defi-
nite and immutable, we defy even the warmest of
their friends and panegyrists to tell us distinctly what
their principles are, what is their bearing, and what
the particular instances in which they are unchange-
able. So far as we can understand Conservatism, it
is a halting, timid, time-serving system of policy,
whose ground-work is laid, not in principle but in
expediency. In the course of a single session it will
assume as many hues as a cameleon. Now, it is as
unyielding and bigoted as ultra-Toryism itself, of
which it is a feeble offshoot; now, it is all
for concession and conciliation ; and now, it is for
stinding stock-still, looking idly and stupidly about
it, and doing—just nothing at all. It is incessantly
vaunting its independence, yet never was any
poLaical party so completely dependent on the
:soverel4. and pleasure of the Minister of
/he flay. v_ 'this same boastful Conservatism.be Apart
from AOBERTPEEL it can scarcely said to

lave an eiiistence. It thinks as he thinks—decides
L Is he decides—sees with his eyes—and hears with his
0, Ts. He does with it just whatever he pleases—
'xes—eneourages—pays it fine compliments—or

J COMPANY.
3, GEORGE-STREET, EDINBURGH,
82, KING WILLIAM-STREET, LONDON.
The NINETEENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING was
held on Monday, the 16th of December, in terms of the Act of
Parliament 1:1, which the Company is constituted—
GEORGE PATION, Esq., Advocate, in the Chair.
The Report and Statements as to the affairs of the Company
submitted on this occasion were highly satisfactory to all connected
with the Institution; and the Chairman, in an address to the Meet-
ing, directed particular attention to the following very gratifying
re gilts :
The number of Policies i.su,,d singly during the year is 562.
The Assurances proposed to the Company during the year exceed
the large sum of HALF A MILLION STERLING—the
Assurances effected being nearly 400,000!., adding from that
source alone about 13,5001. put annum to the Company's
revenue from Premiums.
Large transactions have also been effected in other departments of
the business. •
The Company's investments continued to be upheld at a high rate
of interest on unexceptionable security, chiefly Government
and Heritable, and notwithstanding the great increase of the
Company's funds, the return secured still shows tin advantage
of nearly 21. per cent. in favour of the Company above the
rate calculated on in their Tables for Life Assurance.
The number of lives which have fallen during the year amount
only to one per cent. on the number of the Assured standing
on the books.
AND, IN ADDITION TO THESE RESULTS,
The Company have added, by an advantageous arrangement, 927
policies to their lists, through a transference of the business of
the YORK AND LONDON ASSURANCE COMPANY.
The Reports and Statements were unanimously approved of;
and the Chairman, after drawing attention to the important peti-
tion which the Company now occupy among the Assurance Insti.
tutions of this country, and the fact of the Company never
having disputed or compromised a claim, concluded by congratu.
lating all parties on the satisfactory results exhibited, and took the
opportunity of calling attention to the important fact that the
THIRD DIVISION of PROFITS among the Policy Holders was
to take place in November, 1845. He was certain that the advan-
tage of joining the Participation Scheme of the Company, before
the balance was struck, would not be lost sight of by intending
assurers, and he felt confident that there would be much reason for
further congratulation when they next met together.
The MANAGEMENT was declared to stand as follows for the
ensuing year :

We had rather a large supply of English Wheat on
sale. The finest qualities were in fair inquiry, at Mon-
day's quotations, but all other kinds were a dull sale.
Holders of free Foreign Wheat were again firm, and ob-
tained previous figures in every instance. Thu supply
of Barley was good, while the demand ruled inactive at
late rates. In Malt, Oats, Beans, and Peas very little
was doing, yet prices were supported.

has succeeded in the conversion of peat into coal within
a short period of time. If the works of the great

thus be performed by art in a few weeks, it will indeed
cause a great social and national revolution.—Literary

BERWICK, JAN. s.—About half-past five this morn-
, ing a fire was discovered in the rear of the King's Arms
Inn, Hide-hill, occupied by Mr. E. Davidson. The pre-
mises on fire comprised a large and lofty building, of four
storeys, containing the assembly-room of the inn, with
corn and hay-lofts above ; the back part of the building
contained the theatre, with dressing-rooms above. The
Corporation's engine was first on the spot, and was fol-
lowed shortly after by the engines belonging to the bar-
racks, but, from the quantity of inflammable materials
en the premises, all their efforts to subdue the flames
were unavailing, and by nine o'clock the four walls alone
remained. The Mayor was to have held his first ses-
sional dinner in the assembly-room in the afternoon,
and stoves had been used some time previously for
heating the room, but the origin of the fire has not yet
been ascertained. A lofty granary intervening betwixt the
premises on fire and the inn, the strong gable wall of the
former prevented the flames spreading any further in
that direction. The premises, we understand, are in-
sured.—From a Correspondent.

MUNIFICENT CHARITABLE BEQUESTS.—By the will
of Miss Ann Dimsdale, which has just been proved in
Doctors'-commons, the following bequests are made to
charitable and other institutions, principally in Bristol:
—To the Dorcas Society, 500/. ; to the Misrecordia
Society, 5001.; to the Guardian Society or House, 5001.;
to the Lying-in Society, 5001.; to the Refuge Society,
5001.; to the Strangers' Friend Society, 5004; to the
Infirmary, 500/.; to the Prison Discipline Society, 5001.;
to the British and Foreign Bible Society, 1,000 L; to the
Moravian Missionary Society, 1,060/.; to the poor of the
parish of Mangetsfield (Gloucester), 500/.; and to the
ten of the above-named societies, on the death of some
annuitants, the further sum of 20,0001, making a total of
26,000/. left to charities. The deceased was a member
of the Society of Friends. Erratum—ln the account of
the will of the Duke D'Angouleme, last week, it ap-
pears that the deceased " left legacies to the amount of
22,000 francs." It should have been 222,000 francs.-1

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1845.

Previous to the meeting of Parliament the Con-
servatives—at least if we may judge from the tenor
of the speeches delivered at the anniversary dinners
which several of their Associations have been lately
holding in various parts of the country—seem anxious
to impress the public with the " great fact" that a
spirit of the most entire and cordial unanimity per-
vades their party, who henceforth intend to pull
together as one man. Hardly less solicitious are they
to show that they are daily increasing in numerical
and moral strength, and also that their principles are
so fixed and defined that " he who runs may read"
—in fact, that there is not the slightest possibility of
mistaking them. As regards the unanimity prevailing
among the Conservatives, the quarrels recently proved
to exist among them at Bristol, and more particulAy,
in the county of Durham, where, a few months since,
they were—and still, we understand, continue to bo—at
sixes and sevens, is quite a sufficient answer to this
portion of their declaration ; while, with respect to
their principles which they boast of as being so defi-
nite and immutable, we defy even the warmest of
their friends and panegyrists to tell us distinctly what I
their principles are, what is their bearing, and what
the particular instances in which they are unchange-
able. So far as w can understand Conservatism it
is a halting, timid, time-serving system of policy,
whose ground-work is laid, not in principle but
iu
expediency. In the course of a single session it will
assume as many lineS as a cameleon. Now, it is as
unyielding and bigoted as ultra-Toryism itself, of
which it is a feeble offshoot; "ribii./c' it is all
for concession ara*.•concitiation ; and now, it is for
standing sock-still, looking idly and stupidly about
it, and doing—just nothing at ail. It is incessantly-
vaunting its independence, yet never was any
political party so completely dependent on the
sovereign will and pleasure of the Minister of
the day as this same boastful Conservatism. Apart
from Sir Roman. PEEL it can scarcely be said to

.4.EWSfiave ,an existence. It thinks as he thinks—decides
11"' decides—sees with his eyes—and hears with his
tC ears. He does with it just whatever he pleases—
coaxes—encourages --pays it fine compliments—ur

REFUSAL TO TAKE OATHS.

Lord DENMAN presented a petition from a person
who was a prisoner under the bankruptcy laws. In
consequence of inability to take an oath, arising from
conscientious motives, there had been an incompetency
to examine him before the commissioners of, bankruptcy.
The consequence was that he had now been imprisoned
not less than three years. He (Lord Denman) was
bound to state that all his explanations were satisfac-
tory. From the same inability to take an oath he had
been unable to procure even the prison allowance, and it
was only with the utmost difficulty, and by very great
exertion, that he had been able to sustain himself. He
(Lord Denman) felt these to be circumstances which
called for their Lordships' notice, and he should, there-
fore, move that the petition do lie on the table.
The Noble Lord opposite (Lord Ashburton) had re-
ferred to several circumstances, which led him to sup-
pose that the operation of the Act for Abolishing Im-
prisonment for Debt was unsatisfactory. He (Lord
Denman) would take that opportunity of saying that that
Act as yet could hardly be said to have come into ope-
ration. Certainly the effects of it were not as yet fully
evident. He believed, then, when we had full expe-
rience of its influence, the Act would be found beneficial
to all parties. The ill effects that were at present expe-
rienced ought decidedly not to be charged to that mea-
sure. It was not, as the Noble Lord (Lord Ashburton)
supposed, the concoction of lawyers and men unac-
quainted with commercial affairs. He had sat on the
Committee for considering the details of that measure ;
and though there were not many commercial men on the
Committee, yet they had taken the opinion of those men
who were known to be high as commercial men, and
whose experience was unquestionable.
On the motion being put, that the petition do lie on
the table,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he would take
an opportunity of turning his attention to the sugges-
tions which the Noble Lord (Lord Ashburton) had made
to the House.
