LOW RATES OF PREMIUM.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the Assured
have the security of the Company's income of nearly £60,000
per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance
Fund invested in Government and other available securities,
of considerably larger amount than the estimated liabilities of
the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com-
patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of
the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder
an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the
deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division
of Profits.

One-third of " WhOle Term" Premium may remain unpaid
at 5 per cent. compound interest, as a debt upon the policy for
life, or may be paid off at any time without notice.
In Assurances for Advances of Nloney, as security for debts
or as a provision for a family, when the least present outlay
is desirable, the varied and comprehensive tables of the Arhus

Great Western-road, 11 miles from the county town of Mullingar,

year, is derived from farms, town parks, ground rents of houses, and
market tolls. A considerable portion of the property is let on

The BOARD of SUPERINTENDENCE of the" HALL
of COMMERCE" take leave to draw your attention to this
Institution.

It has been built and established at a very great cost, by a
.ingle individual, for the convenience of the Commercial Com-
munity of the City of London, with a degree of public spirit
worthy the metropolis of the world.
The subscription' is now planed on so moderate a scale as to
to no object of consideration, in proportion to the conveniences
offered, which are set forth in the above Prospectus ; and the
Board are of opinion, that without interfering with any of the
existing establishments appropriated to specific branches of
trade, these conveniences may be found available by a very large
body of persons in the City of London—by parties visiting
endow occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen
from the Continent and other foreign ports.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
ADVERTISER.—The Complete Suffrage
movement is making rapid, though comparatively
silent progress. Everywhere it is hourly re-
ceiving the adhesion of new friends. Persons
who a few years ago—in some cases so late as a
few months—treated the idea of the extended
electoral rights for which the Complete Suffrag-
ists arc contending, with the utmost scorn,
are now numbered among its warmest friends.
The Complete Suffrage feeling is, indeed, spread-
ing throughout the country with a rapidity which
has seldom been paralleled. Twelve months more
of the success which for the last year has attended
the effbrts of its friends to propagate the great
principle that every man untainted by crime has
a right to the elective franchise, will compel the
Legislature to meet the national wish, by con-
ceding a really national representation. We
referred last week to the metropolitan efforts
which are making to promote the cause of a full
and fair representation of the people. We
particularly alluded to the establishment of
Complete Suffrage Associations in Finsbury
and Southwark. These boroughs do not stand
alone in the good work. The Tower Ham-
lets are taking an active part in extending
the popular feeling in favour of complete
suffrage. In that division of the metropolis there
are two Associations, both of which have been in
active operation for some time. The one em-
braces Hackney, Stoke Newington, &c.; the
other embraces Whitechapel, Stepney, Wap-
ping, Shadwell, &c. This is well. But what are
the other boroughs about ? Where is Maryle-
bone ? It used to be among the first of the
metropolitan boroughs in every popular move-
ment. Its inactivity in the present case is a
source of surprise as well as of disappointment
to the friends of the people throughout the coun-
try. We know it is an aristocratic borough, but
it is not more so than formerly. On all great
questions like this the vestry of that borough
were accustomed to take the lead. How shall
we account for their present supineness? We
leave it to themselves to answer the question.
Then there is Westminster—for a long period the
refuge of popular principles, when they were
exiled from almost every other locality in Eng-
land. How happens it that we hear of no note
of preparation in that city in reference to the
complete suffrage movement? Has 'Westminster
ceased to be " England's pride ?" It looks
very much like it. Certain it is, that if it
remain much longer in a state of inactivity,
it will forfeit the liberal character it has
enjoyed for more than half a century. We hope
it will not incur this reproach. We trust that,
ere long, the Crown and Anchor will become
the scene of striking demonstrations in favour
of that efficient representation of popular princi-
ples and popular interests for which it has so
long been celebrated. Lambeth, too, is behind-
hand in the great movement. As yet we per-
ceive
no symptoms of any demonstration in that
borough. This is strange, for it is one of the
most liberal and enlightened boroughs in the
kingdom. There are many truly patriotic men
in it—men remarkable for their earnestness,
their sincerity, and their readiness to make self-
sacrifices for the cause of the people. All that is
wanting to get up a powerful complete suffrage
association in Lambeth, is that the first step
should be taken by one or more men of note, in
whom the unrepresented masses have confidence.
Perhaps there is less room for surprise at the
non-existence of a complete suffrage association
in the City. And yet we see no reason why
there should not be an association there. In no
part of London, perhaps in no part of time coun-
try, have really Liberal principles made more
marked progress of late than in the City.
Witness the triumph of Liberalism in the person
of Mr. Pattison, under the most unpromising cir-
cumstances in which an election contest was ever
fought. In the City there are many choice spi-
rits. All that is ivanting, to make their voice
effectually heard in favour of a complete repre-
sentation of the people is, organisation and unity
of action. We are aware that on several occa-
sions within the last twelve months, meetings
have been held with the view of promoting the
principles of complete suffrage ; but these have
been for the most part thinly attended. Besides,
occasional meetings never contribute in any con-
siderable degree to promote an important cause.
Great questions have always been carried by an
organised and systematic course of action being
brought to bear in their favour. What we want
to see is the example of Finsbury, the Tower
Hamlets, and Southwark, followed by all the
other districts of London. We want to see each
borough establishing one or more complete suf-
frage associations. Mr. Joseph Sturge and se-
veral other distinguished friends of a perfect re-
presentation of the people, are to visit the me-
tropolis in ten days or a fortnight, for the pur-
pose of advocating the complete suffrage cause,
and also of directing public attention to Mr.
Sharman Crawford's project for stopping the
supplies. We trust one of the results of the visit
will be the formation of complete suffrage asso-
ciations in all the metropolitan boroughs in which
they do not already exist.
TIMES.—We feel it our duty to call attention
to a case of murder which was lately tried at the
Liverpool Assizes, and has left five men under
sentence of death. It appears to have been just
one of those cases of fatal collision between
poachers and gamekeepers which have so often
appeared in our assize calendars. A party of
poachers proceeded to the Earl of Derby's pre-
serves at Knowsley, and found themselves con-
fronted by some of the Earl's gamekeepers. It
was before daybreak, and hardly light; shouts
and threats were exchanged on each side. One
of the poachers (Roberts) fired, and killed one of
the gamekeepers (Kenyon). For this murder he
and four others, who were of the poaching party
at the time, and are therefore by the construc-
tion of the law participators in the crime, now lie
under sentence of death. Now, we are not
going to thrown one palliating shade over a case
like this. It would be inconsistent with what we
have all along said upon such subjects to do so.
We have oftener had rather to take the very con-
trary part, and animadvert upon the extreme
leniency and softness which has been shown
in our courts of justice to cases of outrage _and
violence. Again and again has the ruffian, whose
act has really come so near murder that it would
be scarcely possible to draw time distinction, and
who, at any rate, has shown all the animus and
brutality of the murderer, escaped with some
few months' imprisonment, while the miserable
half-famished purloiner of a bit of bread or a bit
of bacon has had his seven years' transportation.
It is on this very account, and following up this
opinion, that we take the view we do of this case
at Liverpool. We say we do not see in the whole
aspect of this trial any sign of its having been
really conducted upon that genuine simple prin-
ciple of abhorrence for bloodshed, which ought
to be always the mainspring of a trial for mur-
der. Our courts, we repeat, have for years dallied
with ruffianship and brutality, and the hatred of
the crime for its own sake seems very much to
have left us. It is only as it interferes with the
rights of property, and attacks our pocket
and purses, that we treat it with the severity that
is due. There is, if appearances do not very
much mislead us, a good deal of this mixture of
feeling at the bottom of the Knowsley trial. It
is impossible to help more than half suspecting
that the case that might have figured as a mere
fatal outrage, and dropped down into man-
slaughter and some six months' imprisonment,
or, at the most, a transportable affair, under other
circumstances, has gained criminality from its
ominous connexion with preserves, and that the
poacher t-,?ives the judicial stroke to the mur-
derer. We may be wrong, but we cannot help
thinking that policy and expediency supply more
than half the substance of our march-of-mind
disapprobation of murder; and that the ob-
ject of smoothing one or other difficulty in the
civil system, and protection of this or that in W-
rest, furnish modern law with its most grave and-
retributive feelings on the subject. There is an
I awkward appearance about the fact of joining the
other four prisoners who did not fire with the one
who did, and bringing all under one head, as
this trial does. We know the law implicates
the whole of such a party in the crime of any
one of them ; but it is obvious that there must
be immense hardship often in enforcing such a
rule literally. A party of poachers are not ne-
cessarily men of exactly equal amounts of men-
tal villany and hardihood; they agree in the act
of poaching, but one may be far more of a thief
or a murderer than another. They are not pre-
pared all of them for equal development of atro-
city. The greatest ruffian fires, and kills, per.

haps ; others abstain from firing, because they
were not ruffians to the same extent. If such
should be the case—and it is fair to give per-
sons the most favourable construction of their out-
ward behaviour—to lay hold of the common
ground of poaching, and hang them all with-
- out distinction, because, though one fired
and another did- not, all poached alike, and
you have them there—such a judicial
course - goes very far to make murder and
poaching. parallel offences. The old stoic Maxim
of the equality of crimes seems to have a chance
of reviving again, and transportation, imprison-
meat, the lunatic asylum, and the halter, will be
distributed from our Courts according to some
system of metropolitan police and gendarmes
justice, and with reference to some changine•
centre of expediency, that has as little to do
with Christian principle or natural law as the
rules of free trade or the manoeuvres of a field
of battle. What we mean is, let there be fair
play. There are four men who, at any rate, are
not chargeable with the literal crime of murder.
They may be lawless, headstrong ruffians, and
their outrage may deserve in itself, and ab-
stractedly, or morally considered, any amount of
punishment—even the gallows. Still, what is the
standard of punishment on which we have prac-
tically been goina.? Only the other day a
man named Stoller was convicted of stab-
bing
his fellow-workman -so as to cause his
death. There is, really, very little difference
between his crime and that of the actual mur-
derer of Kenyon • and with that of the four who
did not fire at Kenyon it stands in an actually
unfavourable comparison. Stolzer, however,
was reprieved. Or what do we say to Mac-
naughten ? That was a case indeed of insanity,
if we are to believe the mad doctors, of unac-
countableness in the individual, not of pardon-
ableness in the crime. But, with all deference
to their insanityship, we must say his was the
oddest kind of insanity to excuse a crime that
the world ever heard. And, although we cannot
undertake to say that the poachers at Knowsley
can reap the primary benefit of it, or claim
the privilege of an hallucination with re-
spect to all distinctions of day or night, and
shooting as poachers and as licensed gentlemen,
and between Knowsley and Australia or
any other place where people may shoot as
they please—still, a thoroughly lax and indulgent
sentence as that was toward Macnaugh ten, would
come into odd comparison with the present
Liverpool verdict (it it is to be carried into
effect)—by which four men who have committed
no external act of murder arc left for execution.
It goes against our feelings to seem at all to be
glossing over a crime of such an atrocious and
ruffianly character as that just perpetrated. We
think an abhorrence of such crimes, and a dispo-
sition to visit them with the very worst conse-
quences, are inherent in a proper state of moral
and social feeling. All we say is; let crimes be
punished as the crimes that they are, and not as
other crimes; let murder be hanged as murder,
and not as poaching; and if we lose the sharp-
ness of our mare' disgust at such offences, and
take to laxity and leniency, then let one man.
have the benefit of it as well as another. We
like a deep and an equal system of justice; but
if our justice loses its depth, let it, at any rate,
retain its equality.
GLOBE.—It is certainly the most extra-
ordinary fallacy that ever was sought to be
palmed on the British public, that colonial trade
is our all-sufficient, nay, even our sole profitable
export trade; and- that conveyance en masse of
labourers " to a wilderness, as valueless as the
wave which broke on its shore," is the true
and infallible recipe for disposal and em-
ployment of our people. 'Why should the
word colony thus exclusively fascinate our
views of commerce? What is a colony? Is
it a place whose inhabitants are only permitted
to trade with us ? This was what we tried to
make our American colonies in the last century.
We prohibited them from exporting wool, or
woollen manufactures, on the penalty -a'f the loss
of the ship employed, the goods found, and five
hundred pounds in money besides. An Act was
passed in 1732, forbidding the sending to foreign
countries by land or water carriage of any hats
made in the colonies, and fixing the numbers of
apprentices that master-hatters might employ.
An Act was passed in 1730, declaring colonial
iron-mills and forges to be " nuisances," and as
such, to be ° abated." The North American
Review observes, that " it may be, that this ex-
treme care of the six furnaces and nineteen
forges, then possessed by New England, was
necessary ; but as Old England was un-
able to furnish for export, as far down us
the year 1767, more than eleven thousand
tons of iron annually, Americans of the pre-
sent day can imagine some little excuse for the
vary grave offence of making at home what could
hardly be procured abroad." The North Ame-
rican Review points out what is worth remark-
ing, that the rupture between England and her
colonies appears to have, in reality, arisen from
a question of commerce, quite as much as of
taxation. " There is very fair reason to
believe that threepence in tire pound was
resisted as much from the apprehended
loss of the colonial tea•trade with the
Dutch—carried on in contravention of the
laws of navigation and trade—as from any other
cause. The value of the tea consumed in all the
colonies was set at three hundred thousand
pounds sterling annually. The English East
India Company, backed by the Ministry, grasped
at a monopoly of the supply ; and the change of
policy which reduced the duty from is. to 3d.
would have enabled them to obtain it; inasmuch
as their tea could then be afforded at as low a
price as the smuggled, and was considered better."
It grieves us much to reduce " A glorious revolu-
tion" to a sort of Peel-Tariff squabble; a squab-
ble resulting from something very similar to the
late partial lowering of the coffee duties. Such
however is the American Reviewer's account of
its origin; and strange surely is the passion of
restriction, wherewith we have infected our
oldest colonists, when we find this very
American Reviewer almost recommending
the revival of the old navigation-laws system
against us, by enforcing which we lost our colo-
nies. So infectious—so vivacious—is the selfish
spirit which promptsanti-commercial policy. The
North American Review has got a notion that
England rather than America, has profited by
abandoning the navigation-laws. "In the
opinion of men of no mean sagacity, its operation
[that of the Treaty of the 3d July, 1815,] has
proved more beneficial to the shipping of Eng-
land than to our own; but had it included the
same stipulations for our free add permanent trade
with the British possessions in the Western He-
misphere that it does for intercourse with the ter.
ritories of the Crown in Europe and Asia,we might
be satisfied with it." Much good indignation is
wasted by the American Reviewer at the re-
maining restrictions on trade with our colonies;
and not till he has exhaled it all, does he vouch-
safe to admit that " the new tariff of Sir R. Peel
shows that this inequality is no longer to exist;
but its termination makes no compensation for
the past (! !), nor have we any pledge that
the former system will not be renewed.?"
'Cool that from an organ of a people who have
just been barring out a moiety of our exports.
Our present colonial policy appears to be reversed
from that of the last century. Instead of attempt-
ing, to compel our colonists to submit to have
everything scarce and dear wherewith we did not
happen to be able to supply them cheaply and
plentifully, we are taking precisely that same
asinine burthen on ourselves for their benefit.
And so far from enforcing on them reciprocal
treatment °four products, we allow them to import
foreign manufactures at lower duties than Canada
levies on ours. We allow Jamaica to have A merican
provisions at far lower rates than she claps on
Irish ones !—and we allow the West Indians
cheap foreign sugar, in requital for their starving
our market with scarce and dear supplies of that
of colonial growth. In Canada, the Morning He-
rald stated the other day, " the Crown has sur-
rendered itsinheritance, the wastelands, to the dis-
posal and control of the Provincial Legislature; the
mothercountry has guaranteed a loan of one mil-
lion and a half, to complete those public works ne-
cessary to the development of the colony's great
resources; the Imperial Parliament has lowered
the Customs' duties which it levied in Canadian
ports, has reduced the import duties collected at
home on the staple productions of the province—
wool and grain—to mere droits de balance, and
has given its sanction to the policy enunciated
by the Chief Minister of the Crown, that hence-
forth Canada must be treated as an integral
portion of the empire." To say nothing of our
! vast expenditure in fortresses and military csta-
