The
math- WWI and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion,Ai its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
4c...'iaily the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
Poise 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 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, accordin,, to an equitabie
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums.

Shrewsbury, February, 1844.

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 advantaaes, 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.

perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL
INCOME being UPWARDS of 60,0001.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per
annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they were effected.
The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1834, to December 31,
1840, is as follows :
Sum Time Sum added Sum Time Sum added
Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured. Assured. to Policy.

ance is for Life.

THE never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC FILLS in curing every description of
(;out and Rheumatism have secured to them a celebrity unequalled
by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give
relief in a few hours, where the patient has been driven nearly to
madness by the excruciating tortut es of this disease, but restore to
perfect health in an inconceivably short Brace of time. They are
equally speedy and certain in rheumatism, either chronic or acute,
lumbago, sciatica pains in the head or face, and indeed for every
rheumatic or gouty affection; in fact, such has been the rapidity,
perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has asto-
nished a!I who have taken it, and there is not a city, town, or vil-
lage in the kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of its
benign influence. The following recent case, selected from among
those with which the proprietor has been favoured, is submitted to

Sir,—l have the pleasure to inform you that a person holding—an
officialsitwition, noticing in ono of my bills that I was agent for
Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, was induced to try them ; he sent
for a box, and had only taken them one day before he found wonder.
ful relief. The second day he was able to walk without his crutches,
and on the fourth day was completely cured and able to perform his
ordinary occupation.
Previous to this he was generally laid up every year for several
weeks, after leeche and fomentations had been applied, and medicine
taken to no purpose. I have obtained the above statement from a
personal interview, and have sent this for publication if you think it
worthy, and shall be most happy at any time to satisfy any party
desirous of ascertaining its authenticity.

11. COTTON TWIST REDIVIVUS ! A New Series, Weekly,
of the LETTERS of COTTON TWIST, " FREE TRADE! PLENTY
TO -DO ! HIGH PROFITS ! GOOD WAGES ! and CHEAP
BREAD."

HI. SCALPEL'S ANATOMY of the PEERAGE ; forming a com-
plete history of the Peerage of the United Kingdom, for the Informa-
tion of its People.

The WEEKLY CHRONICLE is now printed on superior paper of
the largest size, containing more reading matter than any other Lon-
don weekly paper. Great care is bestowed on the condensation and
arrangement of its general news and Parliamentary intelligence, of
which it gives a much fuller and far more satisfactory summary than
any of its Contemporaries. And this it is enabled to do from the
principle on which its contents are selected and adjusted ; for while
the Weekly Chronicle will be found to give due attention to literature,
science, the fine arts, the drama, and even to sporting intelli-
gence, so far as this latter can be said to interest the general
reader, neither sporting, nor any other feature of minor interest, are
allowed to supersede the proper objects of a newspaper—those wb-
jects of breathing, living import to the progress of society, and to the
well-being of the people throughout the whole length and breadth of
Home and Colonial England. The Weekly Chronicle is the advocate
of extended suffrage—of the baliot—of a shortened duration of Par-
liament—of free trade—of systematic colonisation—of the education
of the people on the principles of civil and religious liberty—of a re-
adjustment of the revenues of the Irish Church, aed of other measures
of justice calculated to consolidate the union—of peace at home and
abroad—of a repeal of the odio income-tax, with a reduction of the
expenditure ; and not to extend the catalogue, it may be said that it
treats all other public questions in a kindred spirit and tone ; whilst
its means of information may be judged from the fact that it was,
among other instances of early intelligence, the first to announce to
the world the visit of the Queen to France—the determination of the
Government to arrest O'Connell and his friends—both which facts
were announced in the Weekly Chronicle for several days before they
were communicated to the Government press. The Weekly Chronicle
also announced recently the intended recal of Earl de Grey—a state-
ment which was contradicted at the time by the whole of the Go-
vernment press, but which the Weekly Chronicle never shrank from,
and which now passes unchallenged as a fact.

Arrangements have been made for bringing down the news con-
tained in the Weekly Chronicle to a much later date than usual, in
some instances anticipating the average of last year by a week ; and,
to effect this, every department of the paper has been scrupulously
revised and efficiently re-constructed. For the convenience of our
friends, the three following editions are published ; and, by attending
to these directions, the substitution of any other edition for the one
preferred, and for which the order shonid be distinctly given, may be
prevented:-
1. An edition for exclusive circulation in the provinces on the Sa-
turday, marked " Country Edition."
2. An edition for circulation in London on the Saturday, and in the
country on the Sunday, marked " Town and Country Edition."

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

GLOBE.—Whatever may be the effect of the pending
debate upon the majority of the House of Commons—
though the Government may affect to triumph on the
division—the facts adduced, and the arguments employed
by the speakers from the Opposition benches will not be
lost upon the country. At every step in their Irish policy
the Ministers have been lowered in the estimation of
the people of England ; while in Ireland dislike has
heightened into hatred. No former Ministry ever ap-
peared in' sokumiliating a position—so positively con-
victed of incapacity for dealing with an acknowledged
" difficulty," as does that of Sir Robert Peel. A case
has been made out against them by the maladministra-
tion of their power in Ireland, which has drawn down
upon them the apprehensions of many and the wither-
ing scorn of more, in this country ; while it has
obtained for the repeal of the Legislative Union, and
for those against whom the Government has obtained
a conviction for the proceedings they have been en-
gaged in to attain it—a sympathy more general and
cordial than O'Connell could have secured by his
best-devised projects, or his coadjutors by their most
strenuous exertions. Had Sir Robert Peel not lent
his powers to give impulse to the movement, it
would have expired of inanition. The Right Hon.
Baronet no sooner appeared in the field, as the head
of a Government, than new life was infused into the
expiring scheme ; and every step he took in the path
of discouragement by threats and coercion, only stimu-
lated the Repealers to renewed exertions, until the
larger portion of the country became united in one vast
confederacy—not so much for Repeal, as of oppo-
sition to the policy of his administration. This feeling,
the emanation of long-cherished, because greatly
provoked dislike, has " grown with the growth,
and strengthened with the strength," of the Irish
people. It would have been diminished by con-
ciliation, but can never be destroyed by coer-
cion. Sir Robert Peel refused the counsel which
advised and urged the employment of a milder treat-
ment. He allowed his better nature, and his more
prudent and far-seeing policy, to be counteracted by
the Lyndhurst-and-Stanley portion of his Cabinet.
Military occupation was substituted for constitutional
government. Bayonets bristled in almost every village.
Every building capable of being fortified was placed in
a state of military defence. The rivers which inter-
' sected and divided the provinces became the stations
of ships of war. The whole country, in fact, wore
the aspect of a recent conquest, in which revolt would
follow the slightest relaxation of restriction, or indication
of confidence in the people. State prosecutions were
instituted ; these were conducted in the spirit and with
the violations of constitutional forms and stretches of
the prerogative, more in unison with the seventeenth
than the nineteenth century. The convictions thus ob-
tained have weakened, instead of strengthening, the hands
of Government ; for public opinion has been thereby
enlisted with the convicted parties. O'Connell has
regained a popularity which in this country was certainly
fast waning; while in Ireland it was rather dependent on
the course which the Government would take, than on
any approvo.bf 'Repeal by the more respectable portion
of the Catholic Population of that country. If there be
any one man in the United Kingdom to whom Mr.
O'Connell has more reason to be grateful than another,
it is to that Cabinet Minister—be he who he may—who
goaded the reluctant Premier into a consent to adopt
coercion as the policy of his Irish administration, un-.
accompanied by any of those remedial and conciliatory
measures by which alone the nation could have been
reconciled to its adoption.
GLOBE.—The Pro-Corn-law League has met with a
repulse in one of its strong-holds. Somersetshire, agri-
cultural though it be, has pronounced against the Corn-
laws, adopted a free trade resolution, and a petition to
the Legislature founded upon it. The meeting at which
these results were obtained was a legitimate county
meeting, convened by the High Sheriff, in pursuance of a
requisition presented to him, numerously signed by the
principal landowneis of the county, and several of their
tenants. Most of the representatives of the leading
families and a large number of clergymen were present.
The meeting, which was held at Bric_gewater on Friday
last, consisted of at least 4,000 persons. Notwithstanding
the manifest advantages to the landowners from a
meeting-so convened in such a county, the defeat of the
monopolist resolutions was decisive. The effect of such
a defeat upon other county meetings will be most dis-
couraging. The Premier's declaration in favour of the
sliding-scale, and his determination to stand or fall by
it—wrung from him, as that declaration was, by
the demonstrations got up by the landlords to fright
him into a pledge in favour of protection—has fallen
powerless upon the confederation formed against mono-
poly. The Premier may pledge himself, and the land-
-lords may take counsel together how best to counteract
its influence on the country ; but their united efforts
will be vain. The question has taken too firm
a hold upon the sympathies of .the nation to
be settled by such means as they propose. The
mischiefs of the sliding-scale will be made the more
manifest by their efforts to bolster it up against the
assailants ; whom they have provoked by their perti-
nacity, and encouraged to persevere by their senseless
refusal to be instructed by what is taking place before
their eyes. There is not now a practical man in the
country who does not see that it is utterly impossible to
maintain the existing system. The question has re-
solved itself into a moderate fixed duty upon corn im-
ported from foreign countries, or a total abolition of all
duty. Every week, almost every day, furnishes some
fresh proof of the danger of delay. Within the House
of Commons, and outside its walls, one influential indi-
vidual after another declares that, as between the pre-
sent system and total abolition, the preponderance
of advantage to the public interests is vastly in
favour of the latter. The thinking portion of the
tenant-farmers, were they polled -to-morrow, would
affirm the same truth. The conduct of Sir Robert
Peel on this subject has infused a spirit of mutation into
agricultural pursuits, and given rise to well-founded sus-
picions of his sincerity, and more of his ability, to sus-
tain the position he has assumed by bis recent decla-
ration. And yet, amid all these portentous indications
of impending destruction to their cherished system, the
monopolist body, incapable of estimating their position,
vainly hope that the fast-sinking vessel, in which they
have embarked, will weather the storm, right itself, and
again get into smooth water! Sir Alexander Hood was
the champion to whom the monopolist party committed '
,
their canoe. The worthy Baronet duly appreciated the

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
On Monday Mr. Charles Kean performed the part of
Macbeth for the first time this season. The house was well
attended, and considerable anxiety was manifested to witness
his performance of this, one of his favourite characters. He
was more than usually successful in his delivery of the soli-
loquy, " Is this a dagger which I see before me," which he
commenced in a voice greatly subdued, and increased it in
power and volume as he proceeded. The climax—
There's no such thing.—
It is the bloody business, which informs

was finely effective. The part of Lady Macbeth was per-
formed by Mrs. Warner in a manner which compels us to
admit that she very ably represented a very difficult cha-
racter. The new ballet of the Beauty of Ghent was repeated
with the same success with which it was received on its first
representation on Saturday night.

perhaps, they will not endure with so pod a grace when

THE HUNTINGDON RAILWAY•

The subject of a railway to the town of Huntingdon has
been again mooted by some parties at a distance, and an ef-
fort is being made to obtain support for the undertaking
amongst the influential of our townsmen. It appears that
certain persons at Norwich, 'desirous of getting a transit for
their goods into the north, have hit upon this notable scheme
—to unite a line from thence with the northern and eastern
line at Cambridge, then to skirt St. Ives, pass close by
Huntingdon, to' join the London and Birmingham at Thrap-
ston. Doubtless this might be an advantage to the makers
of crape and bombazines ; but how would the prosperity
of the town of Huntingdon be affected by it The
line proposed would place us within three hours' ride of
the metropolis, and as a consequence carry to the London
markets much of the custom which yet remains to us,
whilst it would give us no advantage at all equivalent to
this serious loss, the only return we should have being
a quicker journey to London when required, and a quicker
delivery of goods—two circumstances of trifling importance,
when put in the balance against loss of trade. The present
coaching system would be entirely annihilated—the inn-
keepers might sell their horses, and one of the large inns at
nobody
outdy weonif tdh ewatv,n,t, to occupy ? The agriculturists aloneo might be turned into shops, which
might find a trifling advantage in disposing of their
produce ; butas we shall in a short time be within sixteen
miles of a railway at three points of the compass, the boon
to them would not be so great as to justify the sacrifice which
their neighbours must make. Already, it is lamentable to
observe that that high feeling which was wont to knit toge-
ther the society in its own locality, and to make men rejoice
in each other's fair fame and prosperity, has been superseded,
to a great extent, by the besetting sin of the age ; and if self
can be advantaged, it matters not who is the sufferer. With
this absorbing feeling on the increase, who shall say what
would be the result in a few years to the majority of those in
the town now maintaining their families in credit and respec-
tability ? But looking at the scheme as a speculation, it must
entirely fail, for what traffic would there be between Thrap-
stonthese and Cambridge, with a station ;at Thrapston, Peter-
borough, and Ely besides, to pay the expenses of between 30

and we hope they
will use whatever influence they possess to ni the scheme in
the bud. If they want any confirmation of the truth of our
deductions, let them turn to Hertford, where the rail has
been lately introduced, and inquire there how much the b believe
inha-
bitants would give to get rid of it. After all it may be, we
trust it is, the adventure of some luckless Wight wishing for
a berth for himself and son ; such a man was eager in pro-
moting a similar undertaking some years ago, and after
swindling a few and befooling the many, left them to the
quiet enjoyment of their own reflections.—Cambridge
