The General Committee are anxious that, wherever it is
practicable, Local Committees should be formed, as much
greater results may be expected from the exertions of a Com -
mittee than from individual effort, however zealous and well
directed, and their friends throughout the kingdom would
oblige them, and essentially serve the cause, by carrying out
their views in this particular with as little delay as possible.
Where Associations already exist this will be matter of little
difficulty, and, where they do not, nothing more is required
than that those who are willing to cn-operate with them in the
present important undertaking should assemble, and constitute
themselves a Committee, and upon their communicating with
the Council of the League, they will be supplied with all the re-
quisite Papers and Cards. The Council would likewise recom-
mend that the influence of the Members of the Committee
should be exerted to procure the formation of a. Ladies' Local
Committee. The duties of the Members of both Committees
will be to canvass their friends and neighbours for contributions.
The Ladies are especially requested to adopt the practice of the
Manchester Ladies' Committee, and proceed from door to door
in the prosecution of their labours. The names of the Officers
and Members of the Committees must then be forwarded to
Manchester for insertion in n Book provided for the purpose.
In cases where the formation of a Local Committee is imprac-
ticable, any individual wishing to co-operate with the Council
will, upon application, be furnished with a Card whereon to
place his own Subscription and those of his friends. They have
likewise prepared a Circular making a special application to in-
dividuals for contributions to the " Fund," and will be glad to
supply the Local Committees, or any of their friends who may
desire to make use of them, in cases where a personal applica-
tion is inconvenient, or this method preferable. With refe.
rence to the distribution and return of the Cards, the following
regulations have been agreed upon :
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF

The most rational motives to Life Assurance are found in
the plan adopted by this Society ; viz. joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors of the Assured, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) in the event of unforeseen reverses.

The feeling that a thorough alteration is required
in the American tariff, and that the people of the
United States have yet to take a lesson from the com-
mercial liberality of this country, seems, by the pre-
sent American papers, to be spreading more and
more. One great matter which is desired. is the ex-
tension of the right of export to goods phssed through
the interior of the country, to Canada on the north,,
to Texas on the south, or any other neighbouring
people. The laws of England authorising the im-
portation of almost all sorts of merchandise into
Canada, by way of the United States, are com-
mended for their liberal 'spirit ; and while the free
trade party are willing to believe that the policy of
England is to turn away trade from the canals of the
United States to the St. Lawrence, they say people
have no right to grumble while they themselves are
diverting trade to a larger amount. Another modifica-
tion which is desired in the existing code of commer-
cial law is the introduction of a warehousing system,
by which goods may be placed in the Government
stores, and remain there without payment of duty till
entered for home consumption ; no duty to be paid if'
the goods are exported. A permission to the im-
porters to receive their goods from the ship at once,
with liberty to secure the duties by bonds at three
and six months, would, it is thought, be a wise pro-
vision, inasmuch as the present system of cash duties
are found exceedingly burdensome to the merchants
of the United States, and prevent them from com-
peting with those of Havannali. The impression alto-
gether seems to be, that it is the present system alone
which hinders the ports of the United States from
being depositories of goods from all parts ofthe world
intended for re-shipment.
The indictment of Colonel Webb is a common topic
of discussion among all the American papers, since
not only does the well-known character of the pri-
soner, as editor of the Morning Courier, render him
an object of interest, but the measure of justice with
he is threatened is so very severe, that it would seem
the judicial authorities are determined to make an
example of him, for the general prevention of that
habit of duelling which is so prevalent in the. United
States. The Colonel is neither indicted for giving nor
receiving a challenge, but simply for leaving the State
with the intent of giving or receiving one. The law
under which he is indicted is as follows :

?he Public are invited to inspect their extensive SHOW-
ROOMS, containing the largest stock in this country.

EXTENSION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF ART-UNIONS
THE ROYAL POLYTECHNIC UNION OF
LONDON.
This Union is founded, with the concurrence of the most
eminent =en in Science and Art, strictly on the principle of
giving equal encouragement to both, by promoting the sale of
the best productions.
The DIRECTORS of the ROYAL POLYTECHNIC
INSTITUTION, with other Gentlemen, form the Committee
of Management.
In furtherance of one of the main objects of this Union, viz.
that of presenting to every Subscriber a valuable work of art,
independent of the prizes, which will range from IW. to 200/.
and upwards, according to the extent of the list of Subscribers,
the Committee have been fortunate enough to engage the
Members of the Etching Club (some of whom are
of the
Royal Academy) to produce a work on the same plan (bnt on a
larger scale) as their esteemed edition of the " Deserted Vil-
lage." Jt will consist of thirteen finished etchings on ten
steel plates, printed on India paper, in an ornamented cover,
illustrating a Selection from the Songs of Shakspeare, a copy
of which thirteen etchings (to be ready
in January next) will,
presented
in order of priority, be
to each subscriber of 205., a
sum little more than half the price in the usnal mode of pub-
ication.
In this UNION the whole of the subscribed fund (excep.
the expenses of advertisements and coirespondeneel will be
placed by the Committee in the hands of the Artist and Man
of Science, in return for their selected works, the cervices of
the Committee being given gratuitously, thus evincing their
determination to avoid the charge of seeking their own pecu-
niary interest, and preventing the possibility of favouritism by
the arrangement that every holder of a prize should be left to
make his own selection.
The prizes will be drawn on the 25th of April next, in the
presence of a general meeting of Subscribers.
Influential residents in the provincial towns. who are dis-
posed to become Honorary Agents, will have the kindness to
communicate with the Secretary of the Royal Polytechnic In-
stitution, of whom the Prospectus may be had, and who re-
ceives Subscriptions.
309, Regent-street, December 9, 1842.

2. All the Cards to be returned to the Council of the
League through the same parties to whom they were issued,
and wherever Cards have been distributed through Local
Committees, they mnst be returned through the same Local
Committees.

3. The Collecting Cards, which, it. will be perceived, admit
of twenty names, are distinguished by a variety of colour►, and
by a distinct letter of the alphabet, according to the aggre-
gate amount specified on the card, as follows :—B. Is.;
C. 2s. 6d. ; D. ss. ; E. 10s. ; F. £l. ; G. £2. 10s. ; and
H. £5. ; each Subscription.
4. Although the Cards may not in one Share meet the
wishes of each Contributor, they may be adapted to any
amount of Subscription not exceeding the aggregate sum
specified on each Card; as, for instance, the Shilling Cards
will contain Twenty Subscribers of One Shilling each ; eight
of Two Shillings and Sixpence, four of Five Shillings each,
&c., &c., and all the Cards in a similar 'way.
5. The first object of each Local Commtttee should be to
distribute Cards as widely as possible, to take an account of
the letter and number on the Card, and the name and ad-
dress of the party to whom given.
6. Each Committee will, at the first opportunity, elect a
Treasurer and Secretary, in order to secure the systematic
transaction of its business.

" Section 1. Every person who shall fight a duel
with any deadly weapon, although no death ensue,
shall, upon conviction, be punished by imprisonment
in a State prison for a term not exceeding ten years.
" 2. Every person who shall challenge another to
fight such duel, or who shall send or deliver any
written or verbal message purporting or intended to
be such challenge; or who shall accept any such
challenge or message ; or who shall knowingly carry
or deliver any such challenge or message ; or who
shall be present at the time of fighting any duel with
deadly weapons, either as second, aid, or surgeon ; or
who shall advise or give any countenance or assistance
to such duel ; shall, upon conviction, be punished by
imprisonment in a State prison for a term not exceed-
ing seven years..

Persons desirous of contributing to the Fund, and who may
not avail themselves of the above arrangements, are requested
to forward their donations addressed to George Wilson, Esq.,
5, Newsll's-buildings, Market-street, Manchester, by whom they
will be acknowledged.—By Order of the Committee,
GEORGE WILSON, Chairman.
Committee-Room, 5, Newell's-buildings,
Manchester, Dec. 14, 1842.

"5. If any inhabitant of this State shall leave the
same, for the purpose of eluding the operation of the
provisions herein contained respecting duelling or
challenges to fight, with the intent of giving or re-
ceiving any challenge herein prohibited, or of aiding
or abetting in giving or receiving such challenge, and
shall give or receive any such challenge, or shall aid
and abet in giving and receiving the same, without
this State, shall be deemed as guilty, and shall be
subject to the like punishment, as if the offence had
been committed within this State."
Marshall, who would have been his antagonist, in
consequence of several violent articles in his paper,
was without the reach of the laws of New York,
not being a citizen of the State, and the offence not
having been committed within its 2,:oundaries'
the Colonel remained the sole object of judicial
prosecution. Having pleaded guilty to the indict-
ment, Colonel Webb was committed to the " Tombs,"
there to await his sentence. The journalists of New
York, it would seem, with almost the single exception
of the editor of the Journal of Commerce, have sunk
all political feelings, and joined in petitioning for the

indictment for leaving the State with intent to accept,
and for accepting a challenge to fight a duel with the
llon. T. P. Marshall, and is now in prison awaiting

is one justly claiming the clemency of the Executive,

CHRONICLE.—This was settling day in' the
Foreign Stock Market. Money was extremely easy,
and there having been no speculative action during
the running of the Account, the business of the day
was easily adjusted. The notice that the fourth half-
yearly dividend on the New Spanish Threes, due the
31st inst., would be paid by the London agents from
and after the 2d proximo, produced a further improve-
ment of
.per cent. in those securities, the New
Threes having closed at 241 to 4.
The advices received to-day, by the packet-ship
Roscius, from New York, state that, bya law passed,
last session of the Legislature, the New ..Orleans
banks were ordered to resume payment in specie :on
Monday, the sth day of Deceniber inst. -The banks
whose course is most looked to, in this respect, are
the Bank of Louisiana, the Canal Bank, City Bank,
Commercial Bank Consolidated Association, Louisi-
ana State Bank, Mechanics' and Traders', and the
Union Bank. Two of these, the Bank of Louisiana
and the Mechanics' and Traders' Bank, are stated to
have resumed at the date of these advices, and the
remaining six were expected also to obey the law.
A. large amount of specie had been received in New
Orleans, the total between the period from the 21st
October to the 14th November inclusive, being stated
at 1,843,013 dols., exclusive of about 300,000 dols.
received per Mobile and the Diver, during the months
of September, October, and November. Specie be-
gan to flow into New Orleans about the Ist of Sep-

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE HYGEIST.
James Morison, the youngest son of Alexander Morison,
Esq., was born at Bognie, in the county of Aberdeen, in the
year 1770. The family has been long known as one of great
affluence and respectability, and the late Member for Banff-
shire, John Morison, was the second brother of the subject of
this brief sketch. In early life he studied at the University of
Aberdeen, and afterwards at Hanau, in Germany, being in-
tended for the mercantile profession. After finishing his
studies he resided at Riga, as a merchant, and subsequently in
the West Indies, where he acquired considerable West India
property. Having suffered much from ill-health, he was
obliged to leave that country and proceed. to Europe, seeking,
from change of climate, a restoration to health. About the
year 1814 he settled at Bordeaux, where he resided in great
respectability. It is now twenty years ago that, by his discovery
and perseverance, ho accomplished his own extraordinary cure.
We cannot do better than transcribe the following- interest-
ing particulars given by himself in the " Morisoniana :"
" A thirty-five years' inexpressible suffering, both of body
and mind, is an event, too, which falls but to the lot of few,
if of any at all. Had it pleased God to have called me out of
this world eight years ago, I should have died as another man,
and been forgotten, and world could have reaped no benefit
horn my case and misfortunes, nor from the favourable effects
produced by the same means .on my children. This is a
guarantee to the world not often to be met with, and a con-
vincing proof of the motto prefixed to this advice, that health
and old age are within the reach of us all.' "
For the remainder of the case see his " Biographical Sketch,"
by his sons and successors, p. 3.
