LONDON, EDINBURGH, and DUBLIN
LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY,
3, Charlotte-row, Massion-heuee, and IS, Chancery-lane, London.

BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one-half of the first
seven years' premium •is required, the other half being payable at
at the convenience of the assured; thus allowing a Policy to be
continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be
dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured,
seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him from
effecting a nen Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium
applicable to an age seven years younger. The Half-premium plan
of Assurance, as practised by this Company,. thus enables persons
to retain to their own us. the one-half of the premiums for the
first seven years, at 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or-
dinary premium for an assurance of 500!. to be 10!., the flint pay-
ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one-
half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if death
should occur' in the first year, the sum of 500!. would be paid less the
U. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year
of 51.; for the second, of 101.; and so on till the end of the
seventh Year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351.; inay either
be repaid; or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the
351. would be subtracted from the 500!. then payab. 'bythe Company.

ATTEMPT. at MURDER by a BRO-
THER of LORD AUDLEY.
On Saturday a young man of gentlemanly appearance,
who said his-name was 'Wm. Ross Touchet, was brought
before Mr. Twyford, at-Bow-street, charged with firing a
loaded- pistol' at Thomas. Smith, •guts-maker, and pro-
prietor of a shooting-gallery, 288, High Holborn, with
intent to murder him.

The prisoner seemed perfectly composed, and not by
any means conscious of having committed un offence of
such a serious nature.

' Alfred Smith; being sworn, said—l am son of Thomas
Smith, gunsmith; and keeper of a shooting gallery, 288;
Holborn. About" half-past twelve o'clock the prisoner
entered the gallery, and said he wished to know if he
could have a shot or two with pistols ? The ques-
tion was then put to my father, who replied, " Cer-
tainly," and having loaded a brace of pistols he
put them into the prisoner's hands for the purpose of
shooting at the target At the second shot he said
the trigger pulled rather hard, and my father told him
he might set the hair-trigger if he liked, but he replied he
did not want them to gO exactly so easy, and he would shoot
with them as they were. On the third shot the prisoner
deliberately turned round while my father was loading
the other pistol, and shot him in the back without tit-.
tering a word, but he smiled after he had committed the,
deed. My father immediately cried out, " Good God
I'm shot through the back," and upon my asking the
prisoner what induced him to commit such an act, he,
made no reply. I was close by all the time, and after
assisting my father up stairs with.some difficulty, on my!
return the prisoner said he committed the deed as he was:
tired of his life and wanted to be hanged, but, he ad-'
witted. that he' 'had no Animosity' against my father. I;
recoliCet that axiut three months back the prisoner camei
to the, gallery andlad some shots, but nothing particular!
occurred on that occasion. ' • _
. _

In answer to .the Magistrate, the prisoner said he had
no explanation .to give, except that he- -had no ill-will
against the man, and ,he: committed the act for the pur-
pose of being hanged.
Mr, 2 T*YFOBD—Is there anything particular that
makes .you unhappy ? Prisoner—Nothing whatever.
. Mr: TWYFORD—Are you married. Oroingl6.• Prisoner,
—I are not a,married man. • . ,

TlwliyvFeoanDlonL_eHinierloo.d,ygionug.sl.l.y.
—Not at all. • • • _
Mr. TWYFORD—What may be your ago ? Prisoner
—Twenty-two last April.'
Mr. TWYFORD—What are your reasons for acting in
such Ah extraordinary- manner-2., Prisener-,70b, there;
are .e iariety .ofieasons.. .
Mr. ,Twvronn—You- are aware you have committed
a dreadful act t•
.Prisoner—Yes, 'tis a dreadful thing.
Mr: TWYFOR:I)—I shall direct yOu to be taken care of
for some days. Prisoner—Very well. ll
Mr. Smith's son informed the Court, after the pri
soner was remcived from the bar, that his father re-1
ceived the contents of the pistol in the small of, the back.'
and that he waa directly removed to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital.
Mr. Twvfonn directed the constable•to proceed to the
Hospital, and bring hiin some account of the-wounded
man before.the closing of the Court.

After the prisoner Was removed from the bar, he was,
immediately removed in the van to Clerkenwell Prison.
In the course of the day Lord Audley came to the
Court, evidently much attected at the account he had
received of the prisoner's conduct, and had a long con-
versation with Mr. Twyford. • He said he did hot con-
sider his brother. (the prisoner) was deranged. His
Lordship afterwards had an interview with the prisoner
in a room at the rear of the office. •
The policeman who was sent to make jnquiries at the
Hospital as to the state of the sufferer, brought back the
following certificate;.._
« that I have this day examined Thomas
Smith, -an. inmate of this Hospital, with a pistol.shot
wound in his loins, and I cannot pronounce him out of
danger.

GEORGE ROYDE, House-Surgeon.
" St. Bartholomew's Hospital, July 6, 1844."

From inquiriei instituted yesterday, we have ascer-
tained the follewing particulars in reference to the me-
lancholy affair.. It appears that Mr. William Ross Tucheti
has occupied. apartments at No; 26, Weymouth-street,
Portland-place, during the. last eighteen months.'. He
lived a very retired life, generally leaving, home after,
breakfast, and returning late in the evening. ..About.
eight weeks since "Lord Audley cenie over from Ireland!
on a temporary visit, and took up his residence with his,
brother in Wexinouth=Street.: Nothing occurred to:lead
his Lordship An believe that his brother's mind was
affected until within the last few daYl, his manner,'
which %.lits..inViiriabli reserved, becanie. Much more so,;
to such an-extent,. indeed, that it was •exceedingly diffi-1
cult to Oblitin. answer to 'any question addressed tot
On.Ordidary subjects he oecasionally conversed in
his usual manner, manifesting 'Considerable-strength off
mind, This ;:appears to have'thrown'his friends off their,
guard, and Lord Audley states that he himself thought!
the
,peculiaritrof his brother's manner arose. from eir-1
cumstances gonnected with his affairs. On Saturday
morning Mr..Tuchetreceived a letter which added to the
gloom under which he previously appeared to labour,
and for 11.PPAsiOcKable period he became qUite abstracted.
At eleven o'clock he left home for the . avowed purpose
of taking a walk, having rallied a little at that time,
and, upon going out, he asked Lord Audley it,he

, Lordship replied in the negative, and the tinhapPy gen-
tleman left home alone. At four o'clock a policeman
arrived in Weymouth-street to inform Lord Audley of
the melancholy event which had occurred, and to request
his attendance at Bow.strect. His Lordship, who was
-of course deeply affected at the circumstance, set off in-
stantly, but did not reach" the office in time to see his
brother: He,.heWever,' had; as above stated, an inter,
view with Mr. Tw.yford, and then roceecied-to '
well Prison for the purpoio of visaing his unfortunate
.brother. Upon being introdUced to, his brother, Lord
'Audley inquired what brought 'him to that place, to
which-51r. Tuchet, who appeared.' quite unmoved at his
position, replied, "I am sure Ido not know." It will
obierved that this observation is' altogether at vari-
ance with the answers made to the questions put by the
magistrate during thevxamination at. an earlier period
of the afterhoon. Lady Audley, the mother of thb un-
fortiinate young man, is' at present reslding with her
daughters' at Sandgate, whither information was iminadi-
ately forwarded, and the Hon.. Miss Trichet arrived in
town last evening. It is said that letters written by the
young man evince decided proofs of aberration of mind ;
but the members of his family had hoped it WAS but a tem-
porary affliction which had long since passed away. Mr.
Smith, the object of Mr. Tuchet's attack, is happily
going on well, and great :hopes. are entertained of .a
favourable termination of his case.'

THREE OF THE NAPIERS.

. .
• We have, received a copy'of the
.'ape Town
containing an account of a dinner given in the Commer-
cial Hall, Cape Town, to Sir George Napier, Governor-
General of the colony, by a number of his friends, on
*the eve of his departure for England, after holding that
appointment 'for six years. The Hon. Justice Menzies
presided, and the Hon: Messrs. Porter and Montagu
occupied the vice-chairs. The part of the proceedings
which we subjoin will be read with interest-:
The CHAIAMAN said—Gentlemen, if you will read the
second edition Of 'Gurwood's " Dispatches " (which I
strenuously recommend: to the. perusal of•those who have
net yet read them), you will find a most remarkable
cumstance there mentioned, namely, that, in addition to
previous letters to -her, communicating similar misfor-
tunes, the Duke of Wellington, on no less than 'three oc-
casions, within the short period of sixteen months, wrote
to a _noble lady, informing her of her sons having been
wounded in battle. One of tiaese sons was wounded in every
one-of three engagements. ; and, on each of two of these
occasions, he had A' brother sharing. with him the same
calamity. I' shall not trouble you with reading the
whole-of those letters, but there is one extract which I
must read :--;--
" Your' sons • are brave' fellows-, and an honour to, the
artily. Having such sons, I am 'aware you expect to
hear of those misfortunes which I have so often, bad to
communicate to you ; and, notwithstanding your affee;
tion for them, you have so just a notion' Of the value of
the distinction • they are daily acquiring for themselves;
by their gallantry and good conduct, that these misfori
tunes do not, inakilso deep an impression on you." . „
'Thanoble lady wiThe mother of Sir George Nipiert
—(Loud Cheero 'He was the officer who within' these
sixteen months, was four times wounded. His brother
Charles was wounded along with hied,. on the first, and
his brother William, .on the second of these occasionsi
Happy sons,! Who. had such a mother, to train them up
in the path of glory, and to do their duty to their country.
Happy, happy mother! who had such sons, to profit by her
instructions, and to be proud of. And thrice -happy
country! which possessed, among its sons and daughters;
suck a' mother.—(Loud cheers.) The eldest of the
sons is Sir Charles. Ido not knew where he first comi
menced his career of glory, but I shall begin at Corunna,
where he fell, actually covered with.wounds, at, the head
of the 50th RegiMent, after having displayed such despe-,
rate valour, that his conduct, on that occasion, excited
the highest admiration, and gained him the esteem, and
lasting friendship of two of the bravest soldiers, and
greatest generals, in the French army—MarshalsSoult
and Ney.• Having recovered from those wounds, he went
on, from field to field, gaining honour, and reputation,,
and shedding his blood; until the British army reached.
the Pyrenees.—(Cheers.) His country then called fort
his services elsewhere, and, but that the overwhelming;
victory at Waterloo, the intelligence of which reached,
England at the same time, swallowed up everything else,:
the victory which Col. Charles Napier achieved in North!
America, would not have passed-unnoticed by his country- i
men. I need say no more of the early career of this gal-
lant officer. After going through almost incredible dan-•
gers, and, receiving: wounds, after which it is wenderful
that life could be preserved, he has, in his old age, at a
period of life When others, who have not. been exposed toll
the fatigues and wounds to whiCh he has been, gene-j
rally seek for repose from active service, gone to a • dis-
.tant country and dangerous climate, and there he has,
the two great actions he has fought, shown all the gallan-,
try, daring,and dash of youth; combined with the highest;
military science, as a General, and talents as a states-,
man, and achieired for himself the well-earned title
of the Hero of Sinde.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) The
other, and yeungest brother, the Gallant General Wil-
liam Napier, -fought
,through the whole of the Peninsu-
lar war. -Few were the actions which occurred in
which ,he was not concerned, and in many, he was
wounded. And his wounds were so severe, as to have
deprived' his country, of the use of his arm. But, al-
-though thus-disabled in body, he his not been idle
in the service of his country ; he called forth, and
applied, the great talents and resources of his mind ;
and he has produced a " History of the Peninsular
War," which must always form part of the library of,
every officer who is desirous of studying his profession,
and which must be read by every civilian, who wants to
know what a battle is.—(Cheers.) I rose, gentlemen,
intending to propose the health of Sir Charles and Wil-
liam Napier ; but, gentlemen, although we have already
drunk the health of our illustrious guest, don't you think!
it would be hard to separate the three brothers ?—(Loud
cheers.) I see you agree with me.. Let us, therefore,
drink' to the health of the Three Gallant Brothers, whose
names were constantly associated together in . the Penin-
sular army—" Charles, George, and William Napier."
—(Cheers.)

Sir GEoitor NAPIER said—Gentlemen, I really hardly .
know what to say ; but my Honourable Friend has paid
so many compliments to my family, that it is abso- ,
lutely ificumberit'en. me ,to say something in return.;
You have done . me the honour to drink my health I
again,— together with my brothers'. I shall say I
nothing more, however, of myself ; but though it.l
may appear vain in me, I will be vain enough to
say a few words about: my brothers. Gentlemen—
we were reared together—we have fought and
bled together—we have slept in the same cloak,
and until now,' we have never been separated. One of
them, as you are aware, was in command at Meanee and
Hyderabad, where 'I know from' others how he had dis-
tinguished himself ; for he is far too modest to speak of
his own merits. Gentlemen, if ever there was a man
in the world, who had the feelings of a'soldier, my
brother Charles is that man. His sole object in life
has beep the army. He entered it at fourteen years of
age;, he is now sixty-two, and during all that, time, he
has 'never been six months on half-pay.—He has been
in every campaign, and in most of the great actions
that have been fought in the Peninsular war,—what ho-
nour and what gallantry he has shown in action, it is not
for me to say; it is known by all, even from the youngest
drummer in the army to the Duke of Wellington, at its
head. He has lived now to go to India, after fighting
for his country, in every part of her Majesty's dominions;
and these he has achieved those two splendid actions, of
which , we have lately had accounts.--(Hear, hear.)
When I saw those accounts,' gentlemen,lTlieve me when
I say I gloried more in my brother's victories than I
could have, done if they had been my own. Gentlemen,
I have lived with that brother since my infancy, and we
were never separated till now.—(Cheers.) The Chair-
man has kindly mentioned an anecdote relative to a
mother, than whom there never was a better. My father,
my grandfather, my great-grandfather, and my great-
great-grandfather, were all soldiers ; and my mother,
above all things, wished us to pursue their steps. After
sixty, she became quite blind, and could not distinguish
her sons by sight, yet nothing could daunt her spirit, and
she continued to encourage us in the path of honour.
Wheii I came hothe after the affair of Cuidad Rodrigo,
she said to me—" I would rather have my son with that
,eximity.sleeee,, than anything else in the world." Gentle-
men, my brother William, the historian of the Peninsular
'War, is as brave, and kind, and- high-minded a man as
ever lived-; and •I believe that every man whO reads-that
history will acknowledge that he has done justice not
'only to his brethren in arms, but to a gallant enemy.
He has gathered the 'materials forthat history from two
great sources; and, although some of the statements in the
third volume have been cavilled at, and supposed not to
be correct, yet, Gentlemen, the two great. sources from
whence he obtained his information, were' far beyond
suspicion—they were the Duke of Wellington and Mar-
shal Soult. I mention this circumstance, because it il-
lustrates a 'curious fact, connected with that history.
What first gave rise to my brother's intention to under-
take that work, was the publication of a book, containing
some strong reflections against the character of a man
upon whom I look back with the same feelings that I en-
tertain towards my own father. Entertaining feelings
Similar to mine, my brother reviewed' that book ; 'and, in
doing so, brought forward the beautiful character of the
man who bred us all, and took care of him when he was
wounded—Of the, man who, after having nobly served his
country, was raised, at thtPage Of forty-eight, to be Com-
mander-in-Chief of orie of 'the bravest armies that ever
left the British shore, with which he traversed the Penin-
sula, from the heart of Spain to Corunna—General Sir
Joha MOore.—(Loud
.cheering.) . That man. owed his
advancement to nothing but the sword he wore. He was,
as you are aware, the son of Doctor Moore, the author of
" Zelueo." The Doctor gave him a, good education and
left iiim
,to his oven efforts, and with his sword alone,
John Moore placed himself at the head of the British
army—no easy thing at that time. Of the military cha-
racter of Sir John Moore, it is sufficient to quote the
words of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, when an ef-
fort was made to create a party feeling against Sir John.
The Duke spurned it, as he would everything that is
mean, and said, " Sir John Moore never committed a
fault, and I appreciate him as he was—the best of British ,
soldiers." ' To the example and encouragement of Sir
John Moore I owe more than I can express. I was his
aide-de-camp—l was by his side at Coruuna—l saw him
killed—l havegot the sash in which he fell ; it is at pre-
sent in the possession of Sir Henry Hardinge, but I hold
it most dear, as a' relict that shall be bequeathed to my
children after me. Sir J. Moore's army underwent
great sufferings, but it did. wonders ; and, wherever my
brother William's history goes, I trust it will clear
the character of that great and good man, so worthy
of all honour. I mention these things, gentlemen,
in order to show you the manner in which wo were
brought up. Gentlemen, under Sir John Moore, we
were taught to support the character of our own
army, but to. entertain no antipathy to the
brave enemy who fights us fairly and honourably. As a
noble instance of this feeling, I would ask, is there any-
thing in history equal to the reception which Marshal
Soult, when in England, received from the Duke of Wel-
lington? I know Soult from two causes. After the
battle of Corunna, my brother Charles was reported to be
killed. I returned to the field. I turned over many
bodies ; I searched every hospital, but I could not find
him. At length, I heard that he was wounded, and taken
prisoner. lie was shot through the body—he was shot
- through the leg—he was cut by a. sabre, almost from
ear to ear---and one of the enemy was just about
, to' drive his bayonet 'through him, when a French

drummer interposed; and saved his life. When Mar-
shal .Soult learned the circumstance, he ordered the
drummer to :be rewarded on _the, spot; and wrote. to
Napoleon, stating the circumstance,- who,,to -his credit
be it spoken, ordered that drummer to receive the Cross
of the Legion of Honour.—(Cheeri.) The sequel was
remarkable: Years after that, my brother William
had.to defend the bridge at -the Coa, with the 43d. The
French came ddwn irnpetueusly, and the fight was
I furious. I have seen the bridge, gentleman;, and it is
hardly, wider than this table. Again and again the
assault was renewed • - and you may judge `.1:4- the
fierceness,of the conflict, .when I state, .that out of
the hundred, men of which my brother rilliam's com-
pany cOnsisted, lie lost sixty. A fresh column of
the enemy . came down—a drummer, as was common
at the time, at their head shouting " .17tia
pereur They were driven back, and the drummer, fell
among the dead. After the action, we went up to the
spot where the drummer lay ; he wore the, cross of the
Legion of Honour ;—that drunamerproved to be the mail
who saved . my; brother's life.--7-(Cries of " Hear,bear.")
Gentlernen these are anecdotes of _the war, which show
you-what the . feelings of soldiers are: You will never
find the brave soldier cruel to his enemy, orqizarielsoree
with his 'friends. And, as I ain story-telling, there is
another anecdote connected -with. the .-Peninsular -war;
which, in reference, to this principle, I may.also mention.
When Marshal Soult quitted Corunna, the gallant Ney
was left iri command. He sent:for'inybrother, who was,
-still a prisoner, and placed 'him in cemfortable quarters..
He also appointed an aide-de-camp.to attend uponbim,
a Frenchman, who spoke English welL In the mean.
tithe, the news had got honie that my brother.was killed,
and the' family went into mourning: - Itly poor mother,l
however, said she never would believe' it' ; and she ga;VV
the War Department no rest, until LorcUMulgrave; who
was at the head of it, sent a sloop of, war to Corunna,i
commissioned to ascertain the fact. One Morning, the;
aide-de-camp came running in to my - brcither, and said;
an English vessel had, arrived in the_ harbour. It Was:
not known for what purpose she had come, but the kind-
hearted fellow went to Ney,,and begged that my brother
might be allowed to go home in her. Ney answered,:
" No; I 'cannot let hirago ; Major Napier must remain:"
The aide de7cainp:returned, and informed my brother:
of the ill success of. his attempt. " Well," said my
brother, 'of coarse I must submit'; my mother will,
at- -least hear that I am: alive." Again the aide-de-
camp' went to Marshal Ney, and again he was refused
but still he persevered in pleading for my brother's
release.—(LOud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.)—.
At last he said, " Ali! Marshal, Major Napier has a
mother, and if he does not return, his mother will die!"
The Marshal paused a moment, and,: turning to him, said
—" Go, tell Major- Napier he is free, on- one condition :,
—that if the Emperor refuses to satiation this release,
he will me again on his parole." To this, of course,
my brother gladly 'consented ;. and, on waitingxm• the
Marshal, he was asked if there were any of his people
whom lie would wish to take with him ? My brother said,
there were some forty or fifty women, who had been left
behind. These Ney ordered to be immediately released,
and, turning to his aid-de-camp, added; "See that every
soldier and every, woman gets two Spanish dollars a-,
piece to take then' home."—(Loud cheers.) I was about
to mention some particulars with regard to my brother as'
an historian. When I was in Paris, Marshal Soult gave'
me a dinner—not on my, account, but as the brother of
the historian—at which a number of Spanish, Portuguese,
and other foreigners of distinction, were present. Mar-
shal Soult then addressed himself to me on the subject of
the work; andsaict--Ahat, when my brother first wrote to
him, requesting information from sources which he had
at his, command, he was by no means disposed to accede
to the request, and wrote a cold letter in reply, stating
that he had ajournal of his own, but that he did not see
how the conduct of the French could be impartially re-
presented by a foreigner. Your brother," said "Soult,
" wrote in answer, that his Object in asking for Ihe in-
formation, was for the purpose of writing an impartial his-
tory, arid that, therefore, if there were any inaccuracies,
I must not attribute them to him, but to the want of suffi-
cient information., I took no further notice of the matter;
a but after a time, letter came to me from your brother,
stating, that in his researches, among other documents,
he had found a lot of letters belonging to Joseph, King of
Spain, accusing me of wanting to throw off my allegiance
to France. He said he had read them over, and found
that they contained grave accusations against me ; but,
before he published them, he sent them over for my pe-
rusal, in order that he. might publish, at the ,same time,
any defence that I might wish to make. When I read
this, I said--,this must be a gallant soldier and a good
man. And I immediately sent him a quantity of papers,
and my own journal, and told him that I committed the
whole to him, because I knew they would be ased by him
as an honourable man and a brother soldier." On this
noble conduct, on the part of Marshal Soult, I need make
no remark. Our great Captain showed the feelings he
entertained towards him on his recent visit to England.
Soult travelled on the railroads and visited various parts
of the country, and 'my brother told me he never saw a
man who appeared so gratified with his visit as Soult
appeared to be; and the French Captain ltooy, who has
just left this port, told me that Soult declared that no •
thing -could ever obliterate, till the day of his death, the
extraordinary kindness that had been shown him by the
Duke of Wellington, the British army, and the British
nation.—(Cheers.)-2Belfast Northern 'Mg.

VISITS of FOREIGN SOVEREIGNS.
(From the Naval and Military 'Gazette.)
The occasional visits of Foreign Sovereigns to this
country we consider, apart from the mere indulgence of
curiosity, events .of the highest importance, not only
with regard to. England, but to Europe generally. In
the first instance, they serve to abate or do away with
prejudice on both sides ; and we look on their frequent
recurrence as one of the principal causes why the ge-
neral dislike of foreigners, which Englishmen seemed to
imbibe with their mother's milk, has now almost entirely
disappeared. We recollect to what an extent this ani-.
mosity against the French was carried daring our late
struggle with that country ; and how much that feeling
was stimulated by every. possible means, in speaking
and writing ; it was carried often to such excess as to
defeat its . own purpose, and. -was partaken of not
alone by the ignorant and..nninformed, but by per •
sons of rank and
.talent ; we even know instances of
officers in the service, who bore a sort'of personal hatred
to the French ; among the foremost of these 'was the
great -example of Lord Nelson. This sort of feeling
might be in a great degree praiseworthy during a
period of hostility, when we were struggling for
our very existence as a nation.; but the glorious termi-
nation of the war, and the vast crowds of English who
flew to the Continent, very soon dispelled this dislike,
amounting to horror, which had existed, against the
French in general. We have stated that Lord Nelson
participated in this sentiment--we believe, we may add,
LordCollingwood, and one or two others ; but in the
navy there were very few opportunities of seeing the
better part of the rrench character ; in four cases out of
five, they had no communication with the officers of the
hostile nation, until they came on board their ships to
deliver up: their swords, and then the generosity dis
played. was all on the English side. Neither on the sea-
when ships come in sight, are there those pauses in hes-,
tility which are so frequent on. shore and where mutual
forbearanee,.nnleSs in the moment of.combat, tends,. to
give a more generous. tone of Meting to those who are
opposed. The immediate vicinity of the advanced posts
of an army give frequent opportunities for acts of mutual
civility, and even kindness, in which the FrenCh officers
and their men appeared to great advantage ; in most
cases where our officers were taken prisoners, they were
treated like gentlemen. For these several causes, we
may say, that the ancient prejudice and dislike that used
to exist against the French in the abstract has entirely
died away and we have only to regret that a reciprocal
feeling of good-will is not equally prevalent at the other
side of the Channel.
'Although the Russians were the best and most suc-
cessful allies. we .ever.had, their resistance end sacrifices,
made in 1812, having broken the second link of the great
chain that bound all Europe, yet since the peace of 1815
a growing prejudice has been fostered in this country
against that people and their Sovereign. The-amount
of - their military -force was vastly exaggerated—they
were supposed to be bent on universal 'conquest—Con-
stantinople was to be the third capital—and the mere
report of the march to Khiva, and their ultimate sup-
'posed. view on our Indian possessions, sent many thou-
sands of our brave fellows to perish in the pusses of
, Affghanistan..
1 Without taking into account the circumstances under
which the present Czar assumed the reins of Govern-
ment, the unsettled state of Poland, and the vast extent
'of frontier to be defended, he was held up as an unmiti-
gated tyrant, murdering and banishing the Poles, and
the persecutor of the Jews, out of mere caprice ; indeed,
these reproaches ran so high, that we had some slight
apprehensions that the Emperor, if be visited our shores'
might meet with some affront i but the supposition was
an injustice to our countrymen,' which one short week
was sufficient to disprove. Without waiting to scan the
conduct of the Emperor towards his own subjects,• they
looked on him as the guest of their Sovereign and the
nation ; they received him with, corresponding demon-
- strations, and were perfectly gratified by the distin-
guishedappearance, noble bearing, and princely munifi-
cence of their Imperial visitor.
If we were to take alp causes'of animosity or preju-
, judiCe froni past times, they might be • brought to hear
against the respected Monarch who is still within our
. dominions. During the long and ambitious career of
of Saxony was his most devoted
Buonaparte, the late King
ally, and remained so until his own troops deserted him
,1 at Leipsie ; bat who would think- of bringing that up
as a 'natter of reproach nowadays against his suc-
cessor ? We simply see him as an honoured guest, and
'the only remembrance is, that he reigns over a kindred
. people, from whom we have derived much of our lan-
guage, institutions, and even the virtues in -which we
, I
_most pride ourselves. Beside -the pleasure and instrue-
, tionforeign Princes receive on visiting our island, they
will be able to ascertain by their .own eyes that, as long
-as the nation is true to itself, and although not possessing
j an army adequate to half the calls Qn it, Great Britain is
' pot to be conquered. .

of the noblemen's and gentlemen's thimble-rig, is silly
enough to make a bet (little or much), he ought to pay
for his folly. Leave the great ones to juggle and fleece
each other. .

Since Lord B. declared, some time ago, against a
certain great stable, there has been nothing but a war
of villainy, and the robbing of honest turf men has been
infamous.—Yours truly,

P.S.. The "conspiracy" amongst certain parties, which
has long existed, has been very plain to me, and many
others, no doubt, for some time.

RUN UPON THE BANK OF ENG-

LAND.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

"SirliobeWi3eel admits that the Bank of England
may issue notes to the amount of thirty millions—six-
teen millions on bullion, fourteen millions on Govern-
ment debts, &c. The deposits exceed thirteen millions.
I repeat a question I have put in a former letter. If a
panic should arise, and the depositors withdraw thirteen
millions of gold, how are the thirty millions of notes to
be cashed ?"--Letter signed " Common Sense," in 77re
Sun of June 27, 1844.
Sut,—What a very curious fancy of your corres-
pondent, " Common Sense," to imagine a panic with
29,000,0001. of bullion in the coffers of the Bank of
England. If the proposed Bank Charter Bill should be
carried into effect, that law must be infringed, if
there be not 16,000,000/. of bullion in the issue de-
partment at all times" when there is a circulation of
30,000,0001. of notes ; so that, supposing the de-
positors to have bad thirteen millions of bullion pail.
to them from the banking department, there must
still remain 16,000,0001. of bullion in the coffers of
the issue department, if 30,000,0001. of notes be
then left in circulation, showing that, if the position
of "Common Sense" should hereafter occur, the
Bank must—previous to the payment of thirteen
millions of bullion to the depositors, and yet
having 30,000,000/. of notes in circulation--
be in possession of 29,000,000/. of bullion immedi-
ately previous to the payment of the depositors,
9,000,000/. in the banking department, and
16,000,000/. in the issue department, as the
Bank, by law, would be bound to have
bullion in its coffers for every note issued above
14,000,000/.; so, there being an issue of 30,000,0001.,
there ought, and, of course, would be, 16,000,0001. of
bullion, being the amount of issue over and above
14,000,000/. Your correspondent says that Sir Ro-
bert Peel admits that the Bank of England may issue
30,000,000/. of notes—to be sure the Bank may,
who can doubt it ?—there is no limit to the amount
of issue of the Bank of England ; the only limit is,
that the Bank must at all times have a value in bul-
lion in the coffers of the issue department, equal to
the whole issue over 14,000,000/. ; so the Bank of
England might have an issue of 100,000,000/. of
notes, provided it held bullion to the value of
86,000,000/.
Now, we find that although the depositors shall
have paid thirteen millions from the banking depart-
ment, there will be sixteen millions of bullion to
meet the thirty millions of notes—a very handsome
balance-sheet for a banker to show his customers. Yet
" Common Sense" asks, " how are the thirty mil-
lions of notes to be cashed ?"

Let " Common Sense" put himself in the position
of a merchant who is indebted to his creditors
30,0001.; he has 14,0001. at his banker's, and in his
warehouses goods valued at 16,0001. He calls his
creditors together, shows them the state of his affairs,
and deploringly asks " How am I to pay you
30,000/.?" The reply would be, " Sell your goods, and
turn them into cash." So will the Bank of England
be enabled to sell its " securities," and obtain cash
to meet the 14,000,0001. of notes, should such a
necessity arise ; this is how the thirty millions of
notes can be cashed. " Common Sense " ought to
know that a banker who holds securities equal to all
demands upon him, although he has not at any one
instant`gold to pay every debtor, is no more insolvent
than a merchant who has not cash to pay every debt,
yet has merchandise in his possession which will
realise more money than will satisfy every demand
upon him.
" Common Sense" does not know the working
of the New Bank Charter Bill ; he -fancies if the
depositors.were to make a demand of 13 millions on
the banking department, and the gold was not there,
that it could be obtained from the issue department
without 13 millions of notes being presented. TlCe-
c!erk from the banking department would not get
five sovereigns from the issue department, if he did not
present a 51. note for them, the same as one of the
public. Whatever amount of bullion may be draws
by the depositors from the banking department, will
have no effect whatever on the amount of builio4
held by the issue department, without the banking
department presenting notes to the issue department
for the value of every sovereign that may be required.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.

DETERMINED SUICIDE BY SUFFOCATION.—OR Fri-
day Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Geove and
Dragon, Buckingham-place, Fitzroy-square, on the body ot
Mr. King, aged 24, pianoforte-maker. Alr. Thomas Dedwick,
deceased's brother-in-law, deposed that he was a pianofort*-
Jnaker, and that the deceased lived and worked with him.
During the last twelve months, deceased suffered greatly
from ill health and depression of spirits. About two
months ago deceased was greatly affected at seeing a
female, to whom he was attached, walking with anotlor
man, and from that period he wasin a very melancholy stat*
of mind. Last Tuesday he was very silent, and suppeil
with witness at ten o'clock at night, scarcely speaking ~
word. They retired at twelve o'clock. On the folio .
vrei t
morning, witness finding the door of the water-closet
toned, had it fOrcod open, when he found deceased crouch
up in the water-closet quite dead, with a panier of charoOki
burning on the floor. So resolud was he upon self-destrut•
tion, that he pasted paper ovet,Tvery cranny and crevice of
the closet, to prevent the escape of the poisonous gas of the
charcoal: His left arm and side were burned by the flames
of the charcoal fire. Mr. Proctor corroborated this witness's
evidence. . From other statements it appeared that the de-
ceased had cut the paper in strips with which he covered the,
crannies, and made the paste for fixing them on in the work-
shop. While so engaged, he ,joined in several songs, with the
workmen, one of whom having said that he would go to.
said, " 1., too, will be at
Gravesend on Sunday next, he

self, but there is uo evidence whether he was insane or not at
the time." .
