UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.
Established by Act of Parliament in 1834.
DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most
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 72,0001.
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 olicies 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.
£5OOO 6 yrs. 10 mths. £683 6 8 £5OOO 4 years £4OO
5000 6 years 600 0 0 5000 2 years 200
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first Five Years, where the Insur-
ance is for Life.

Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., of No. 8,

LOW RATES OF PREMIUM.
In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the Assured
have the security of the Company's income of ne-rly £ro,o(q) per
annum, yearly in, rowing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund in-
vested in Government and other available securitie', of considerably
lager 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, riving to every Policy Holder an immediate and
certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferral and frequently
delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM.

Persons assured according to these rates are allowed credit (with.
out security) for half the amount of the first seven Annual Pre.
miums, paying interest thereon at the rate of Five per Cent. per
Annum, with the option of paying off the Principal at any time, or
having the amount deducted from the sum assured when the Policy
becomes a claim.

Policies may thus be effected at lower rates than are generally
required fer the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have
the same security for the payment of their claims, whenever death
may happen, as if they paid double the amount of premium, which
would be charged for assurances effected in the usual way.

air against the Name—thus consuming every particle of volatilized
vapour, it is free from smoke or smell, having perfect combustion,

cherche, and new patterns, comprising Ormolu, China, Glass, and

AMERICAN ICE.-LYNN'S WATERLOO
HOTEL, RANELAGH-STREET, LIVERPOOL.

WILLIAM LYNN respectfully calls the attention of the nobility,
gentry, hotel-keepers, and others, to this beautiful and cheap article
of importation. It is in solid blocks, weighing frost one to two hun-
dred pounds each, and is as clear as crystal ; it can be sent to any
distance, with very trifling waste ; and is used for a variety of pur-
poses that English Ice cannot be applied to.
W. L. has imported some PROVISION SAFES from America, for
the use and comfort of Private Families—
The REFRIGERATOR, or (as sometimes designated) a Miniature
Ice-house. This is a new and useful article of furniture, rapidly
coming into use in northern and southern climes ; it is designed to
keep cool and sweet such dishes in the culinary department as are
necessary to be protected from the heat of the weather during the
summer season.

The Refrigerator is now considered an indispensible article in the
economy of every good housewife ; the quantity of food it protects
from the weather will more than pay the cost of the article in
one year.

They may be seen in operation, in their various valuable and useflil
purposes, at the Waterloo Hotel, and families can be supplied with
them on moderate terms.

" We regard the work before us,' The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, anciliassed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We most, however, confe,s that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or Bunn.
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
" The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fail torecommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS
CITY, MONDAY EVENING.

TIMES.—The occasion of her Majesty's visit to
open the Royal Exchange, Monday next, will, it is
understood, be observed as a holyday by the principal
City establishments. The Directors of the Bank of
I:logland have already signified their intention of
closing their doors to business operations ; and the
private bankers, we are informed, have resolved to
suspend the attendance of their clerks after twelve
o'clock, the previous hours being alleged as necessary
for the payment of bills and other affairs which cannot
be delayed. It is to be hoped that all other leading
firms will follow the example so readily set, and make
the day one of general holyday and recreation.
It was rumoured late this afternoon that
Messrs. Rothschild have taken the Belgian loan,
which is likely to put an end to the further reduction
of the Dutch Five per Cents., the fact being that the
Government of the latter country will receive suffi-
cient of the proceeds of this loan to enable them to
pay off the remainder of that particular description of
stock. This increase to the coffers of the Dutch Go-
vernment, arises from the liability of Belgium for
part of the old debt, which will thus be liquidated.
The price at which the loan has been negotiated did
not transpire.

The files of papers received by the Teviot from the
West Indies are, for the most part, barren of interest-
ing intelligence. The Demerara Legislasure have
voted, in accordance with the terms of Lord Stanley's
dispatch, 75,0001. for the encouragement of Hill
Coolie emigration, and the revenue of the colony ap-
pears to be increasing. The news from Jamaica and
the other islands is wholly unimportant ; there is no
additional information respecting the earthquake be-
yond what we have already published. Business was
rather better at Trinidad. The total exports of sugar
from Barbadoes for the season were 22,558 hhds., or
less by 2,000 hhds. than those of last season. The
weather was not considered favourable for the new crop.
The following extract of a letter from Monte
Video, dAted the 30th- of July, 1844, is worthy of
attpntive'perusal, the accounts received through the
channel of papers being either so meagre or of such
an exaggerated character, that little reliance can be
placed in them :
" On the 27th of June the brig of war Imperial
Pedro, which sailed from here with dispatches, arrivea
at Rio Janeiro. On the 28th there was a meeting of
the Brazilian Ministers to take into consideration pro-
posals made by this Government. On the Ist of July
there was another consultation, to which the English
and French Ministers were also invited to attend, and
although what passed at these meetings has not trans-
pired in Rio Janeiro, the result has been the arrival
here of a corvette of 26 guns, a brig, a schooner, and
steamer of war. The corvette brings 400 artillery-
men, and the Carrisca frigate and another corvette are
hourly expected, and 2,000 men have been ordered
from Rio Janeiro to be embarked for Rio Grande. It
appears that of the seven which compose the Brazilian
Ministry, four are in favour of an immediate armed
intervention, and all agree that Brazil cannot allow
Rosas to take possession of Monte Video ; but three
of them are timid and fear the war, and wish to press
the subject to negotiation, although they do not know
how to set about it. Negotiation is, of course, out of
the question, and as this will soon become apparent,
there is no doubt the war party will soon prevail, and
indeed Grenfell has already orders not to let Monte
Video fall into the hands of Oribe. So that, should
the latter make any attack, the war will break out
immediately."
In the New York papers received by the last
arrival are contained some extracts from the official
commercial statement for the nine months ending
June, 1843, which has been issued at Washington.
Some of the high-tariff party, it would seem, to
support the cause of protective duties, have been en-
deavouring to persuade the people that the trade
with England is of little value to the union. To
expose the fallacy of this notion the extracts in
question have been made, and sufficiently prove that
Great Britain is a more important customer than all
the rest of the world put together. The total value
of exports during the period referred to is thus made
Whole amount
_

Of which to Great Britain and depen-
dencies ..........

To the rest of the world 32,364,972
More to Great Britain and colonies than
to the rest of the world .. $13,063,839

Among the articles taken by Great Britain, exclu-
sively of the colonies, cotton figures at 37,000,000
dolls., and tobacco at 1,000,000 dolls., while the de-
pendencies alone take " bread-stuffs" to the value of
2,000,000 dolls. These are the most important articles
in the list, though the provisions taken here under
our new tariff bear a considerable value. Lead appears
as a new item of export to this country, as we used
formerly to export it to America.
A list showing the export of agricultural produce
alone exhibits still more plainly the importance of
England to America. The total export of agricul-
tural produce, during the nine months in question,
to Great Britain and her dependencies is set down at
43,000,000 dolls. The rest of the world only takes
21,000,000 dolls., thus giving England an excess of
22,000,000 dolls. Notwithstanding the state of things
just exhibited, it appears there is a constant com-
plaint in America among a certain party, that " Eng-
land will not buy !" A free trade writer remarks,
that there is no complaint that France will not buy,
and yet the value of the two customers is clearly
shown by the following comparison :
France. England.
Domestic exports to 511,934,066 ... V 5,428,811
Imports from 7,836,137 ... 28,978,582
Excess of domestic ex-

ports
Thus, not only do the exports of Great Britain ex-
ceed those to France, but are even greater in propor-
tion to the imports. A more convincing series of
facts could scarcely be devised.

THE CHATHAM AND NORTH KENT RAILWAY.—A
Correspondent informs us, that this line of rail, which is
projected with a view of! connecting all the maritime
ports of England with the great metropolis, and forming,
in time of war, a medium of rapid and direct communi-
cation with Government, has lately added to its board of
management several of the most influential merchants of
the City of London. These gentlemen, relying upon the
superiority and advantage of the line, engage to return
the whole amount of deposits made by the shareholders,
should the line not be approved by the Board of Trade,
thus taking upon themselves the liabilities incurred by
the undertaking, and giving a precedent which, if adopted
in similar cases, would convey a favourable idea of honesty
of purpose.
HIGH TIDES.—THE WEATHER.—The tides in Car-
marthen river during the past week rose higher than hasbeen remembered for a length of time. This was owing
from
the to the violent gales that have been blowing
the Atlantic Ocean, and partly to the tremendous rains
that have fallen, which caused the mountain rivers to
swell, and in many eases to burst their banks. On Mon-
day and Tuesday the Towy overflowed and the marshes
on its bank were for miles laid under water. The
Carmarthen quay was also flooded. It is calculated
that the rain on Monday fell to the depth of six inches
by the rain gunge ; in fact, at one time the rain formed
a perfect deluge.— Welshman.

THE BISHOP OF LONDON AND
THE VICAR AND CHURCHWARDENS OF
WARE.

The vicar of Ware having some time since discon-
tinued the practice of publicly catechising the children,
after the second lesson in the evening service, the
churchwardens lately addressed a letter to him, in-
quiring why the duty had been neglected every Sun-
day for the preceding month, to which he replied by
informing them that it was suspended during the
" harvest holidays," as the vicar termed them, inter-
fered with their attendance at church, and no mention
being made in the rubrics of " harvest holidays,"
they determined to bring the matter to the notice of
the Bishop of London, and the following corre-
spondence has recently taken place with his Lordship
on the subject :

" Ware, Sept. 11, 1844.
"My Lord,—l am directed by the churchwardens
of this parish to lay before your Lordship the corre-
spondence that has recently taken place between the
vicar and themselves, on the subject of a due observ-
ance of the rubrics of the Church. Your Lordship
is perfectly aware that the present unhappy state of
affairs in this parish, as regards ecclesiastical matters,
has arisen entirely from his apparent zeal to literally
obey the rubrics, and that in reply to the earnest en-
treaties of a very large majority of his congregation,
requesting him to return to the long-established mode
of conducting the Church service, he urged the im•
perative nature of his ordination vows, which pre-
cluded him from yielding to their wishes. Your
Lordship will, therefore, feel much surprised to learn
from this correspondence that no public catechising
the children on Sundays haS taken place during the
last month, and the churchwardens think your Lord-
ship will be equally astonished at the reason assigned
by the vicar for the discontinuance of this duty. They
have carefully examined the rubrics, for which he has
expressed so much veneration, that rather than de-
viate from them he would peril the interests of the
Church, by driving away from it a large portion of
his congregation, and they can find no mention made
of the harvest holidays' of which he speaks, nor can
they perceive how these ' holidays' interfere with the
discharge of duty to be performed on the Sunday.
"They have directed me (and they hope they may
do so without offence) to remind your Lordship that
at the last visitation, which took place in the month
of April, they made a presentation to your Lordship
of a neglect of duty on the part of the vicar and
curate, of which no notice appears to have been taken,
as they have heard nothing from your Lordship on
the subject. They desire me to embrace this oppor-
tunity of expressing their deep regret:at the continua-
tion of the discussion in the parish, caused by the
determination of the vicar to adhere to the altera-
tion he has introduced into the mode of conducting
the service, and the great disappointment that the
kind efforts of a vicar of a neighbouring parish, who
laboured to procure a reconciliation, were rendered
abortive by the conduct of Mr. Coddington at the
very moment they were led to expect an entirely
different result. The terms of reconciliation proposed
were certainly not altogether satisfactory, either to
them or to the parish generally, but anxious, if pos-
sible, to put an end to the state of things pregnant
with so much injury to the Church, they cheerfully
assented to them, with the full assurance that if your
acquiescence could be obtained, no further difficulty,
on the part of the vicar, would be interposed to pre-
vent a settlement of all our difficulties ; these terms,
as your Lordship will doubtless remember, were sub-
mitted to your Lordship, and your Lordship was
kind enough to sanction them, and the churchwardens
therefore confidently hoped that peace and harmony
were to be restored. Judge, then, of their great
surprise and their deep disappointment at receiving,
after a three days' delay, a flat refusal on'ths part of
the vicar to agree to the arrangement, and thus leav•
ing room for grave suspicions that it never was his
intention to accede to it, otherwise he certainly would
have been but too happy to have availed himself of
the opportunity kindly offered by your Lordship of
adjusting the differences between himself and his
parishioners. They desire to your Ligrifsitip
for having afforded this opportunity, although it has'
not been appreciated by the vicar as it ought to have
been, nor attended with the results which might
fairly have been anticipated from it.
I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lord-
ship's most obedient and very humble servant,
"NATHANIEL COBHAM.
" Lord Bishop of London."
To which his Lordship transmitted the following
reply : " Chester, Sept. 23, 1844.
" Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your
letter, accompanying a copy of the correspondence
which has taken place between the vicar of Ware
and two of the churchwardens of that parish, respect-
ing his suspension of the public catechising during
the month of August last. I request you to inform
the churchwardens that I consider the reason assigned
by Mr. Coddington for such suspension quite_suf-
ficient.

" I feel myself called upon to notice with disappro-
bation the spirit of hostility to Mr. Coddington which
has suggested this complaint ; and to urge upon the
churchwardens the duty of adopting a more respect-
ful and conciliatory course of proceeding towards
their spiritual pastor.

" f am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" N. Cobham, Esq. " C. J. LONDON."
" Ware, Oct. 10, 1844.
"My Lord,—l am desired by the churchwardens
to acknowledge the receipt, of your Lordship's letter
of the 23d ult., and to express their regret that your
Lordship should have taken so incorrect a view of the
subject matter presented to your Lordship's notice in
my letter of the 11th ult. The churchwardens are of
opinion that your Lordship must have forgotten the
facts out of which have arisen all the unhappy dissen-
sions which have so long prevailed in this parish, and
which I am desired briefly to recapitulate, to justify
them in the course they have pursued.
" Mr. Coddington, after having for ten years that
he held the living of Ware, celebrated divine worship
agreeably to the practice of at least a century and a
half, chose, in conformity with the recommendation
of Dr. Pusey, Mr. Newman, and others of their
party in the Church, to revive forms and ceremonies
which had long become obsolete, and which were ex-
ceedingly obnoxious to the great majority of his con-
gregation ; and on their remonstrating against the
introduction of these novelties, and to their earnest
entreaties that he would return to the accustomed
mode of performing the service, he replied that ' he
was bound rigidly to obey the injunctions contained
in the rubrics of the Church, and that even your
Lordship's acquiescence in any deviation from them
would not absolve him from the obligatior a of his
ordination vow, which bound him implicitly to ob-
serve them.' And, althcsigh he must have foreseen
what the consequences of this determination would be,
yet he persevered in it, at the hazard of bringing to
pass all the unhappy results which have since ensued.
At length, when the disputes between Mr. Codding-
ton and his parishioners had reached a point which
created deep regret and uneasiness in the breasts of
all the neighbouring clergy ; and, in consequence of
Mr. Coddington having declared that he was ready,
in order to put an end to this state of things, to meet
his parishioners in a spirit of mutual concession—a
certain arrangement was at length agreed upon, and,
although not such as was altogether satisfactory to
the parishioners, yet they acceded to it. Your Lord-
ship, we were informed, did acquiesce in this arrange-
ment, when lo! a new difficulty arose, and that of a
peculiar nature, was started by Mr. Coddington ; and,
after two days, to the astonishment of everybody, be
refused to ratify this arrangement.
" The churchwardens having brought this to your
Lordship's recollection, now desire to remind your
Lordship that you have passed over the presentment
in April last, and to recur to the complaint against
Mr. Coddington for his suspension of the rubrics
during the harvest month, and which your Lordship
has been pleased to say is quite justifiable. It is
quite unintelligible to them what the harvest
has to do with the proper discharge of the duties
of the Sabbath. Surely your Lordship does not
desire to have inferred that the labours of the hus-
bandman are continued without intermission tatthron

Coddington has set up a plea for his conduct which is
altogether untenable ; and if they are, then is his
suspension of them on the Sundays, during the har-
vest months, quite inconsistent with his previous
declaration.

" The churchwardens further desire me to say that
they consider your Lordship had no right whatever to
impute improper motives to them in making this com-
plaint, and they wish your Lordship to understand,
that the approbation or disapprobation of a partial or
prejudiced person is to them a matter of the most
perfect indifference. Were it even otherwise, the all
