LIFE DEPARTMENT.
ACTUARY—J. T. Clement, Esq.
At the laid! Quinquerudal Meeting there es as added a bonus to the
Life Policies equal to 25 per cei.t. on the sums paid, and a bonus of
fire per cent. to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual
i tere,t.
For the convenience of parties wishing to minus for a specific
sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has
been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-
half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five
years, thus enabling a pers to assure hts life for X 1,00.1 on the im-
mediate payment of the premium for £5OO only.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
£lOO for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five
years by merely paying the interest annually at 5 per cent.; and
should the policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due
will then be deducted.

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 vo,oos per
annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund in-
vested 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 compatible
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.

LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY,

3, Charlotte-row, Mansion-house, London.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their
deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove
that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation; the great aim
and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SE-
CURITIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured,
on the mutual principle, receives the whole of the mutual accu.
mutations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums
assured. .

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to
pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were
effected shall Pave been liquidated before the claims arise.
THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in
favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is se-
cured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.
BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one.half of the
first seven years' premium is required, the other half being pay-
able 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 affecting a new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of
premium applicable to an age seven years younger.

IRELAND.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.
DUBLIN, DEC. 30.—The weekly meeting of the Asso-
ciation was held this day, at the Conciliation Hall.
The chair was taken by Mr. O'Neill Daunt.
The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting, con-
fining his observations to the threatened concordat be-
tween his Holiness the Pope and the English Govern-
ment, which he denounced in the most emphatic terms,
and declared his conviction that any rescript, having
reference to such a subject, would be received by the
Irish people as so much waste paper.—(Cheers.)
The SECRETARY, having read the minutes of the last
day's proceedings, and acknowledged the receipt of se-
veral remittances,
Mr. S. O'BRIEN rose and moved the marked thanks
of the Association to Messrs. Mackey and Molloy for
their gratuitous 'yxertions in conducting the recent re-
gistration of the city of Dublin, and likewise to the
Learned Gentleman who attended the registration
throughout the country generally, on the part of the
Association. The Hon. Gentleman then went into some
statistics for the purpose of showing that, at the last re-
gistry sessions the repealers bad gained considerably on
their epponents, and urged on the people the neces-
sity of further exertion. It was idle, he said, to ex-
pect that the Legislature would confer on them a better
registration system than that at present existing, and
they ought, therefore, to avail themselves of the means
within their reach towards achieving the regeneration of
their country. At the next election the people of Ire-
land would have to dispose of several seats in Parliament.
The number of Members at present representing repeal
principles was quite inadequate to the state of feeling
which prevailed. He would call on those Members,
who, although they were repealers, yet remained pas-
sive, to come forward and give effective and practical
aid in working that cause of which they were but the
nominal supporters, or they would have to render an
account to their constituents when the proper time
should arrive. They should imitate the generous and
disinterested exertions of Mr. Hutchinson. The alter-
native they had to propose to candidates at the next
election would be—if repealers, a free and gratuitous
return ; if anti-repealers, a strenuous opposition and
all its accompanying expenses. The Hon. Gentleman
concluded by submitting his mot'on to the meeting.
Mr. GRATTAN, M.P., seconded the motion in a
lengthened address, in the course of which he pronounced
the intrigues at present being carried on between the
Pope and the British Government as a base conspiracy
against the Catholic as well as Protestant, and that the
object of them was to poison the mind of his Holiness,
and create, if possible, an enmity between him and the
people of Ireland.
The SECRETARY announced the receipt of 401. from
Melbourne, New South Wales, and read a communica-
tion which accompanied the remittance.
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN having given notice that Mr.
O'Hea would, on the next day of meeting, take a review
of the proceedings of the Association for the past year,
announced the rent for the week, 1781. 16s.

The meeting then adjourned.
RIBBONISM IN SLIGO.
The Sligo Champion, after noticing the successful
exertions of Mr. O'Connell and the Repeal Association
to put down ribbonism in that district, laments that
new attempts have been made to revive the pernicious
system, That journal continues—
" We have been furnished with the pass-words for the
present quarter, and we think it right to publish them ;
first, to show the persons who are connected with the
society that all their secrets are known ; and, secondly,
to deter them from identifying themselves with a system
which must end in their degradation and ruin. The
following are the signs for the present quarter:—
" Question: The days are on the decline?'
" Answer: So are the enemies of Ireland.'
" Question: ' Will Ireland get her rights?'
" Answer: She cannot be denied.'

" When two persons connected with the Ribbon So-
ciety dispute, without knowing each other, should a third
person, belonging to the body, be present, he interferes,
and says, Don't be unreasonable;' to which the answer
is, I never was otherwise.' When parties are out at
night, and want to recognise each other, one observes,
The night appears cloudy;' and the reply is, Yes, the
clouds appear dull' Now, should this paragraph ever
meet the eye of a ribbonman, we ask him, must he not
be mad to adhere to a system which is so well known?
The Rev. Malachi Brenan, and his colleague, the Rev.
Mr. Noon, are doing all they can to put down ribbonism
in their parish."
MURDER IN ROSCOMMON.

The Roscommon Journal says:—" A most brutal and
inhuman murder was perpetrated a few days since mid-
way between this town and Strokestown. The victim
was a well conducted, industrious man of the name of
Patrick Shiel, whose only offence was,having advanced
twopence per barrel in the price of corn in that locality,
in which he trafficked, and disposed of in Longford."
MURDER IN KERRY.

The Tralee Chronicle contains the following :—" On
the night of Saturday last, one of those barbarous crimes
which are the fruit of intemperance, took place near
O'Dorney. It appeared from the facts as detailed in evi-
dence upon the inquest, that a quarrel took place between
two brothers, named Cornelius Murphy and John
Murphy, while labouring under the effects of intoxica-
tion. John Murphy was urging his brother to go home,
and on his refusing he struck him a blow on the head, on
which Cornelius stabbed him with a penknife in differ-
ent parts of the body. John Murphy shortly after ex-
pired. The jury found a verdict of • Died of wounds
inflicted by Cornelius Murphy,' who has not as yet been
detected."

" A MAN KILLED IN A FACTION FIGHT.—At Sneem

fair on the 15th, a man named Sullivan, who it is said,
commenced the affray, was killed by a person named
Dwyre. The presence of the police restrained the belli-
gerents until the close of the day, when they availed
themselves of the unlucky opportunity of coming into
deadly contact with each other. Dwyre was arrested by
the Sneem police that night, and immediately after an
infuriated party of the friends of the deceased arrived at
his house, and would have, in all probability, taken sum-
mary vengeance, were they not anticipated by the vigi-
lance of the police. The deceased, it appears, was a
pledge-breaker."

lowing were admitted :—Liberals, 27 ; Conserva
