UNITED KINGDOM LIFE "ASSURANCE
COMPANY;
8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.
Established by Act of Parlianient 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 gr,...at 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 TasurQd to all Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they weie effected.
The Bonus added to olicics 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 yes. 10 mths. £683 6 8 £5OOO 4 years 4400
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.

The plan of this Office will be found to comprise all the solid ad-
vantages of Life Assurance.
Persons have the option of Insuring upon the Return or Non-
Return Systems ; and the Tables have been formed to suit the
convenience of all parties.
The Rates have recently been reduced agreeably to the most ap-
proved calculations ; they are also verified by the experience of the
Office during forty years, are as low as consistent with safety ; those
adapted to the RETURN SYSTEM entitle its assured to an equitable
participation in the itirplus premium, according to the plan detailed

in the Company's Prospectus.
The Assured under both Systems will possess the guarantee of a
large Paid-up Capital, and the further security of a responsible body
of Proprietors, without being exposed to the liabilities of partnership.
Policies are purchased on liberal terms when the object of an
assurance is effected ; or, loans will be granted thereon to the extent
of five-sixths of such purchase-money.

Prospectuses and every information obtained on application at the
Offices as above, or to the Agents of the Company appointed in every
city and principal town in the kingdom.

PRESIDENT.
His Grace the Duke of BUCCLELTCH and QUEENSBERRY.
• VICE-PRESIDENTS.
The Right Hon. Lord Gray.
David M. M. Chrichton, Esq., of Rantellour.
ROBERT CHRISTIE, Manager.
The leading principle of this. Mutual Assurance Society is, that the
whole Profits are divisible amongst the Policy Holders every three
years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the
Society, it may be stated .that the additions made to Policies have
been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on
the vested bonus.
Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,0001. effected on the Ist of March,
1832, will, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled
to 1,297/. ; or, if effected on or before the Ist March, 1533, to 1,2751.,
and so on as regards other_Polieles.
The Accumulated Fund exceeds 260,0001., and the Annual Revenue
is above 70,0001., the whole being in a course of steady and increas-
ing prosperity.
No other Life Assurance Institution whatever can warrantably
hold out greater advantages to parties Assuring than this Society does.
Policies effected before the Ist of March participate in a full year's
bonus.

CHATHAM, FRIDAY, FEB. 14:—The Queen, 110 guns, in
dock, is to have her powder-magazine, which is now in the
centre, removed to the fore part of the ship. At present
there is no other alteration determined on. The Comus, 20
guns, Commander Thompson, was towed to Saltpan-reach
on the 12th instant by the Afrioan steam-vessel. It is under-
stood that the Fantome and Comus are to proceed to Ply-
mouth to await for final orders ; their destination is supposed
to be for the Straits. The Bulldog steam-frigate, building
in the first slip, is fast progressing—her skinning is complete,
except the top-rail. A Court of Inquiry was held yesterday
by the Captain-Superintendent, Captain W. H. Sherrill; and
the Solicitor to the Admiralty, Mr. Geo. Spill, at the Cap-
tain-Superintendent's Office, in the Dock-yard—relative to
the recent destructive fire in the yard. The Court was
strictly private. The whole of the Dock-yard police on duty
at the time the fire was discovered underwent examination.
The origin of the fire remains
a mystery, notwithstanding
the majority of opinions prevail in the Dock-yard that the
firing was wilful, as the Pound, at which the fire first broke
out was solely under the care of a keeper, and no one was
allowed to go into that place on any occasion ; if alipiece of
timber was required for the joiners' shops, the workman re-
quiring it was obliged to ask the keeper for it ; and as the
workmen leave the yard in the evening the-Pound-keeper
locks up the gates, and delivers the keys to the Clerk of the
Stores. The Pound, which extended the whole length of
the building, was half covered over, for the purpose of
keeping the fir timber dry, the remaining part was exposed
for the purpose of seasoning the mahogany, of which there
was a considerable quantity. The fire, when first observed
by the police, was about 20 feet within side of the gate, and
in the centre of a pile offir-boards of about 24 to 30 feet in
length, and from one to two inchp in thickness. The night
after the fire the whole of the officers and men of the yard
were divided off into four relieves ; each relieve, consisting
of 500 men, kept watch for above three hours during the
night. During the fire private Riddell, of the Royal Ma-
rines, had his thigh broke by a piece of timber falling across
him, and Adjutant Wood, of the 86th, had his sword broken,
and also received some injuries about his person, by the fall-
ing of some of the ruins.

THE WORKING OF THE INCOME
TAX.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

_••
Stn,—Sometimes the relation of a simple fact comes v.
, greater force of conviction than a hundred arguments.
beg to give a simple relation of an instance of the moss
iniquitous and oppressive mode of levying the income tax.
• The parties to whom I allude had about four years ago
erected very large premises, to carry on business connected
with manufactures, in doing which they expended upwards
of sixteen thousand pounds; of necessity they had to borrow
several thousand pounds on mortgage. Having to pay in-
terest., and buy their goods on credit, besides this having to
call earlier for payments, they had great difficulty in making
any profit at all. And in 1843 prices were so run down by
competition, that they were worse in the end than at the
beginning ; and as honest men, they made a return to the
surveyor of taxes of "no income." This being the case they
were summoned before the Commissioners of Taxes (their
neighbours). In answer to the questions put to them, they
averred they had made no profits. The Commissioners re-
plied, we do not believe your statements; you must bring
your books, and show us by thtm that what you state is cor-
rect. The parties being then insolvent, or at least they were
owing. several thousand pounds more than they had owing to
them (although taking tato account the money expended in
building and machinery, they had several' thousand pounds
more than would pay their debts in full—yet they well knew
if their eirctimstances were made known it would be fatal to
their credit), and for this reason they refused to prothice
their books. The result of this was the Commissioners
Mulcted them in the duty on one thousand pounds. Since
then, in consequence of the failure of other parties with
whom they were connected, they have been made bankrupts
themselves; and the 'assignees have since their failure had
to pay 29/. 13s. 4d. out of the assets of the estate, and the
creditors will not get more than 6s. to 7s. in the pound.
Since their failure the premises, with machinery, which
cost within the last five years the sum of 16,7001., has been
sold for 8,125/., which had they brought cost price, they
would have been able to pay their creditors in full.
Your insertion of these particulars in your widely circa.
lated journal, will much oblige, Sir, your most obedient ser•
vent, ONE OF THE ASSIGNEES.

Her Majesty, and his Roy al Highness Prince Albert, rode
out on the Cliffs this afternoon,- in a pony phaeton, accom.
panied on horseback by Colonel Wylde and'Colonel Buckley.
• Prince Albert walked out this morning in the King's-roads
accompanied by Dr. Prxtorins.
The royal children were taken for a carriage airing this
morning on the Cliffs, and again this afternoon. Their
Royal Highnesses walked on the Chain-pier this morning.
The royal dinner party this evening will be limited to the
royal suite.
The Earl and Countess of Sheffield, Colonel Sir M. Creagh,
Captain Pechell, M.P., Sir Theodore Pounckman; and Mr..
and Mrs. Ormsby Gore, called at the Palace to-day to pay
their respects to her Majesty.
The following selection of music was performed at the
Palace yesterday evening, by the band of the Inniskillen.
Dragoons Grand march, "Il furioso " (Spohr) ; Over.
ture, "La Sirene" (Auber); Selections from the " Bohemian.
Girl" (Balfe); Waltz, "Les Bouquets Royales" (Jullien);
Serenade Polka (M`Carroll).
This has been another charming day, and the inhabitants
have had the happiness of seeing her Majesty enjoying
the pure air on our marine drive, the finest of the kind ire
the kingdom. Her Majesty was out this morning, be•
tween nine and ten o'clock, in an open barouche with
the Princess Royal, accompanied by the Dowager Lady
Lyttelton. The royal carriage was not distinguished by
any outriders ; Colonel Buckley, Equerry, attended her
Majesty on horseback. The Queen was very plainly dressed,
and wore a white straw bonnet. We never saw her Majesty
look better. She rode up the cliff as' far as Kemp Town,
and then westward to Brunswick-terrace, and back as far as
the Chain-pier. Her Majesty did not alight, but returned
to the Palace about half-past ten o'clock, and the Dowager
Lady Lyttelton then took the Princess Royal to the
Chain-pier, where the Prince of Wales and the Princess
Alice were enjoying their morning walk. His Royal High-
ness walked on the cliff with Dr. Prietorius, and in the
afternoon he drove her Majesty out in a pony-chaise by the
sea-side.

In the course of her Majesty's promenades to the eastward,
it is said that her Majesty's attention has been attracted to
the advantages possessed by Kemp-town as a marine resi-
dence for the royal children, and that the mansion opposite
to that of the Duke of Devonshire, belonging to Mr. George
Robins, from its exalted situation, is spoken of as not un-
likely to be selected for a royal nursery in connexion with the
Pavilion.—Morning Post.

tion. On Friday last there was some slight amelioration in
the symptoms, but not of so favourable a nature as to excite
the hope of ultimate recovery. Debility gradually increased,
and about five o'clock on Monday morning a shivering fit
came on, when Mr. G. Harrison, Jun., surgeon, of Cheater
(who, with his father, had been in regular attendance upon
the Marquis during his illness), was sent for. On his arrival
he announced to the family at the Hall that the dissolution of
his Lordship was fast approaching, and about half-past ten the
expiring nobleman quietly breathed his last in the presence of
Earl Grosvenor. The Marchioness of Westminster, the Cokni-
tess Grosvenor, and Lady Elizabeth Grosvenor were also in
attendance. The late Marquis was born March 22, 1767.

TAXATION.—We frequently hear it said, that
agriculturists should have protection because of the excessive amount,
of taxation they have to pay. Wheat is as cheap now as it Was in
1792,:when our taxes did not exceed twenty millions ; how then, they
ask, can we pay the present taxation ? The simple fact is this—that
the nation has to pay thirty millions more of taxes in 1845 than it
had to pay in 1792, while prices are the same in both periods. Thu
real enemy then of the farmer is this excess of flscality ; but it IS an
enemy that has fixed its gripe on every other class of producers, as
well as on the tillers of the sail. To say, then, that the farmers, by
a monopoly, should recover from the consumers of corn this excess
of taxation is as unjust as it is impolitic. Why should farmers be
exempt ? or, if exempt, must not the pressure from which they would
be relieved ruin those other classes who purchase agricultural proddec ,
Is it possible that the miserable fallacy can any longer hold its ground
—that the inhabitants of towns are to be the bondsmen of the in-
habitants of the country—that the former are to pay tribute. to the,
latter ? Why, what is this but one of the forms of slavery '
