The most rational motives to Lzfe 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.

All the advantages peculiar to mutual Life Assurance, aris-
ing from a' division amongst the assured of the whole of the
mutual Profits, and that security and freedom from responsibi-
lity which Proprietary Companies can alone afford, are com-
bined by the constitution of the London, Edinburgh, mid
Dublin Life Assurance Company, which is the only, guaranteed
Mutual Society. The Fates of premium are somewhat lower
than in most of the mutual offices, and for the non-participating,
and for those who effect assurances for temporary purposes, or
debtor and creditor transactions, Tables of Premium have been
prepared, by which a less immediate payment is required than
by any other plan.
By a half premium credit system one-half of the premiums
may be retained for the first seven years, and repaid at the con-
venience of the assured : and by the Ascending Scale a greatly
diminished rate of premium is required for the first twelve years.

The debate in the House of Commons last night on
the Corn-laws referred exclusively to the qualities of a
fixed duty or a sliding scale. On the 'notion for the
House to go into a Committee, Lord J. Russzu, rose
to move his resolution declaring that, considering the
evils of the sliding scale, the House was not prepared to
adopt the measure of the Government. His Lordship's
spirit rises, and his views enlarge as his experience
ripens, and his speech was at once comprehensive in its
principles, and what politicians call practical in the ap-
iliaation of them. After taking notice of the fact that

SURREY THEATRE.

A new drama, under the title of Raby Ruins; or, The Mother's
Statue, from the pen of George Soane, Esq., appeared at this
theatre last night, and met with the success which Its merits de-
manded. The heroine of the piece is Fanny (Mrs. H. Hughes),
to whom Edwin, a young sculptor (Mrs. Vining), is deeply attached.
and whose love is reciprocated, but that a bar to their union exists
on the part of her father, Sampson Field (Mr. Heslopy, who finds..
harsh landlord in the person of Silas Sykes (Mr. Lewis), and who
also stands as rival to Edwin, consenting to forego his rent,
amounting to one hundred pounds, if favoured with the
hand of his daughter. The struggle here commences
Edwin procures the necessary sum, but at the moment that it
should be applied to its happy use, Morgan, his brother (Mr. N. T.
Hicks), a reckless and dissolute sailor, deprives him of his money
by stealth to pay as hush.money to some fellow-seamen, Who

threaten to denounce him to the authorities. Remorse afterwards
overtakes Morgan ; he proceeds to Raby Ruins, where, according
to popular belief, large sums of gold were secreted ; he here meets
with a body of smugglers, and offers to become their leader, if one
hundred pounds be supplied him. Meanwhile the military and the
frigate's men arrive, a conflict ensues, in which Morgan is mor-
tally wounded, and in his dying moments puts into the hands of Ida
brother the sum necessary to secure the marriage of the lovers.
An under vein of light humour runs through the whole, and car-
ried off the more melodramatic parts with ease and pleasantness.
By the applause that was awarded it promises a good run.

CORN-LAWS.

Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from Edin-
bur*, praying for a total and immediate repeal of the
Corn-laws. He had been requested to support the prayer
of the petition ; now, although he had tho greatest respect
for the petitioners, he was not able to go so far as to vote
for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws; be-
cause considering the number of years during which' the
Corn-laws had existed, he thought that great evils
might ensue from so sudden and violent a change.
But he was not prepared to support any modification of
those laws which would not admit of a tree-trade iu corn
at all times—(Hear, hear)—because a measure which
would not do that would not produce a steady price—
would not promote the sale of our manufactures—would.
not prevent the evils of the existing system—would not
prevent the derangement of our monetary system,
inasmuch as it would not tend to promote a
barter between England and corn growing countries,
but when we required their corn we should have to pay
fur it in bullion. It would thus tend to perpetuate all
the evils of the existing system. He would not consent
to any alterations of the Corn-laws which would not at
all admit of the free importation of corn at a moderate
fixed duty.
REGULATION OF BUILDINGS BILL.

The• Marquis of NORMANBY presented a petition

petitioners likewise prayed to be heard by counsel on
the subject, at the bar of their Lordships' house.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed..

the Noble Duke opposite, the necessity of drawing the
attention of his colleagues in the Government to the pro-

SCINDE.

We have scarcely any intelligence of note from
Scinde to communicate, unless what will be found
under other separate heads. The arrival of her Ma-
jesty's 28th, dispatched from Bombay in the first and
second week, of September, in consequence of certain
rumours of michief abroad, absolutely astonished them
at Kurrachee. Scinde never was more quiet, or the
Ameers more obsequious to our wishes. It appears,
moreover, to be the anxious desire of the Governor-
General to deal gently with Hyderabad affairs, and
keep the Beloochee chiefs in the best possible humour.
Their time may come, but now now; and for the
present there appears to be every, disposition on the
part of all concerned to maintain the most amicable
relations along both banks a the Indus— as high at
least at Dejerat. The rumour of the assembling of
an army of reserve in Scinde, under General Napier,
seems groundleis; and it appears probable that so
soon as the Quettah troops reach Sukkur, and so bring
up the the force betwixt Kurrachee and Dadur to about
10,000 .men, that a considerable 'portion of them
will be withdrawn. If General Nott actually return
by Dera-Ishmael-Khan- rather than by the Jellala-
bad route, after having been at Caubul, this may ma-
terially affect Scindian arrangements.

QIJETTAH.
We have letters from Quettah of the 9th, and KO-
lab Abdoolah of the 6th ultimo. Lieutenant Ham-
mersley had expired on the first of these dates, amidst
the deep and sincere regret of all who knew him. He
was a gallant and an able officer, and zealous servant
of Government—and fell, there is too much reason to
fear, the victim of the workings of an over-sensitive
and wounded spirit on a constitution injured by his
exertions in the discharge of his duty to a Govern-
ment unable to appreciate his qualities, or unwilling
to examine into the groundlessness of the charges
brought against him. The inhabitants of the Pisheen
Valley were showing symptoms of insurrection—part
of them were in arms. Soola Khan, who deserted
our cause in January, and afterwards rejoined us, and
received 1,200 rupees a month for keeping the road
from Quettah open, had for some time been encamped
with 200 horse, without the Fort Killah Abdoolah,
which belongs to him. He seems suddenly to have
quitted his quarters with alibis followers; he was be-
lieved to be moving in the direction of Quettah, where
the camels had been directed to be withdrawn from
the grazing ground. General England arrived at
Quettah, in safety on the 26th. He laterally came in
by forced marches : the annoyance he had experienced
on entering the Kojuck. Pass cost him a couple of men
only. His march was in a great measure unmolested.
The Affghans were too anxious to begin the affray
among themselves, and to proceed to the settlement of
the affairs we had brought into such confusion, and
clear the chaos we had left behind us, to offer us any
molestation when such could forward no useful end,
and be productive only of mischief to themselves.

CALVERT V. GODFREY.-JUIiGMENT.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in
this case, the only question in which was, whether a
lady of the name of Watson, the purchaser of certain
property was to be considered as having accepted the
title in consequence of taking possession. The case
came before his Lordship upon appeal from the deci-
sion of the Master of the Rolls, deciding that Miss
Watson had not accepted the title and was entitled to
a reference with respect to it. His Lordship was of
opinion, that the judgment below was correct, and it
must therefore be affirmed. •
Motion refused, but without costs.
CASWELL V. BELL.

The arguments in • this part-heard case were, re-
su:.iied to-day. The case came before the Court upon
motion to vary an injunction. restrainitig the de-
fendants, who are the CommissiOners of the Bourne
Fen, near Spalding, from interfering with or taking
land belonging to the Black Sluice Commissioners.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the
arguments, refused the motion with costs. .•
EX PARTE EYRE V. WRIGHT, DIDDULPH,' AND CO.
The remainder of the day was occupied with the
Opening of this case, which came before, the Court
upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Review.
The appellant, Mr. Lyre, had banked, for some time
with'W right and Co., who up to the period of their
bankruptcy carried on their business in Henrietta-
street, Covent-garden ; and by his petition of appeal
Mr. Lyre sought to prove hls debt against the joint,
and alsa the separate estates of all the parties.
The arguments on behalf of the appellants not
having concluded when the Court rose, we refrain
from going further into the facts. •

LADY KIRKWALL V. FLIGIIT.

In this case, which came on under further direc-
tions, an application was made by defendant for the
delivery of a deed obtained from Lady Kirkwall,
while in a state of insanity, on which defendant had
advanced 1,0001., the amount of which he claimed
with interest and costs. It appeared that though the
money had been obtained on the security of the deed
executed by Lady Kirkwall, her Ladyship had yet
never derived any benefit from the use of the said
money, but on the contrary was in a state of extreme
distress, having been compelled to borrow money to
purchase common necessary food from her servants.
The application was that the deed should be delivered
up to stand as security for the debt and costs.
His HONOUR ordered a reference to the Master, to
comptite what was due to the defendant in respect of
the thousand pounds, with interest, the amount to be
paid on a certain day after the Master should have
made his report ; if not, the bill to be dismissed
with costs.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 7.
The Court was engaged the whole morning in hear.
ing motions for new trials.

COURT OF CaILTION PLEAS, Nov. 7.
CLARKE V. STEWART.

This was an action to recover damages for injury
done to the plaintiff's cabriolet, by an omnibus belong-
ing to the defendant being driven against the carriage,
and overturning it. It appeared, that in the concus-
sion the defendant's servant was thrown out of the
cab, and was so severely injured that he died in a day
or two after. The cause was tried at Guildhall, and
the Jury, not being able to reconcile the conflicting
evidence on both sides, found for the defendant.
Mr. Sergeant BomrAs subsequently obtained it
rule to show cause why there should not be a new
trill, on the ground that the statements of the de-
fendant's witnesses were inconsistent with each other,
and that the verdict was in so far not warranted
by the evidence.
Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL now showed cause against
the rule, and stated his arguments in support.
London, England, 1842-11-08

BUNDELKUND.

- - _
The disturbances in this quarter, noticed for some
months, still continue; and at this most unhealthy
period of the year, the Cawnpore division is compelled
to keep the field. There seems no reason to doubt but
that these disturbances have grown to a head in con-
sequence of the want of a fitting force to repress
them ; they broke out before our Affghan reverses
began, and have become virulent just in proportion to
our weakness in men. In the end of August the in-
surgents, notwithstanding the presence of a power-
ful police-force, attacked and plundered the, resi-
dence of the collector, Mr. Masson, who narrowly
escaped with his life. Shortly after this, a large
body of malcontents assembled near Saugor, for the
purpose of depredation. The 3d Native Infantry and
a portion of the 2d Irregular Horse, with a couple of
guns, having been sent out against them, found them
posted behind strong field-works, but attacked and
dispersed them without difficulty. A part of the
Gwalior contingent was less fortunate, having met
with a check. Lieut. Herbert, one of the officers,
had his arm broken by a jingal ball. Our troops were
then compelled to retire. A force, consisting of-the
6th Light Cavalry, the 10th, 13th, 40th, and 48th
Native Infantry, the Bundelkund Legion, the 6th
Madras Cavalry, and 43d Madras Native Infantry,
with a train of heavy artillery, will take the field in
October, and will, we have no doubt, complete the
work of chastisement and subjugation amongst a set
of men, who seem to have taken the field for no object
but that of plunder, which, from the lightness of our
force in this neighbourhood, they hope to be able to
indulge in with impunity.

Indigo—Since our last report we regret to say no fa•
vonrable advices from the indigo districts have reached
us. On the contrary, disaster has been succeeded by
disaster, incessant rain, rapid and high inundation, hav-
ing all tended to ruin the planter's hopes. In Lower
Bengal, which prc duces nearly one-half of the annual
crop, the manufict7are has closed with, in most concerns,
but one-third of la! ,t year's out- turn. From the Purneah
and Bhaugulpore -districts no more cheering accounts
have come to hand* From Tirhoot we receive worse ac-
counts every day. The small rivers in that district have
risen to an unusal ',.3.,eight, and inundated all their low
lands, and the delu; 7,-ti of rain they have experienced has
put their koontee i rop in jeopardy. The planters are
now reducing their t stimate of the crop in that district
below 12,000 matind; ', as last reported. Mirzapore and
b.
the more western di. tricts send us more favourable ac-
counts ; bat, from the great reduction in their cultiva-
tionof the plant, the q aantity they can produce will tend
~.t little to make up for the serious deficiency in all
other quarters. Under. all these circumstances the pre-
vailin "pinion among (jest-informed parties is, that the
crop will not reach 80,( 101 maunds.
