the Messrs. Solomons, Opticians and Aurists, state that their
INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR, by
which thousands of Deaf Persons have been greatly benefited,
is not larger than a seven-shilling-piece, and when fixed into
the cavity of the car is soft and easy, and not more uncomfort-
able nor perceptible than having a piece of wool in its place.
By its use the faintest whisper at a public assembly is heard
with distinctness.
These important new inventions are patronized by their Ma-
esties the King and Queen of Hanover and their Royal High-

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE
OFFICE, 1, King William-street, London.
The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob-
servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is
consistent with perfect security.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of b) per Cent. was declared on the
currant annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti-
cipation. Tha second division of profits was in May, 1841,
when a similar reduction was again declared.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society :

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on India risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex-
clusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true risk
of life dur;ng residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service. By order of the Board,

IMPORTANT AND SALUTARY IMPROVEMENTS
have been introduced into the practice of Life Assurance by
this Company, and the following are some of its distinguishing
and important features, which have been introduced after
mature deliberation. They will be most conveniently pointed
out by referring to Policies, as divided into two great Classes
PROVISION POLICIES, and MONEY
TRANSACTION POLICIES.
FAMILY PROVISION POLICIES.— In the well-
founded belief that Life Assurance business is profitable, per-
sons making provisions for their families and contemplating a
long duration of time between the date of the Policy and the
claim to arise under it, generally prefer Assurances which may
carry with them a right to participate in the profits to be re-
alised by the Company during the currency of their Policies.
By the Deed of Constitution of this Company, the participa-
ting Assured are entitled to the Whole of the Mutual Profits, as
if they had been Assured in a purely Mutual Society ; and
they have, at the same time, the security not only of the funds
of the Company, arising from the accumulated premiums, but
also the proprietary funds and. subscribed capital of the Com-
pany. To the Shareholders are alloted ONLY those profits
which are realised by the investment of their own paid capital,
and from the excess of the premiums derived from the nor,-
I Assurances. This mode of Division and Profits,
so advantageous to the Assured of the Participating Class, is
adopted only by this Company.
MONEY TRANSACTION POLICIES.—An acquain-
tacce with the records of the Courts of Law and Equity, proves
that considerable changes were required in the practice and
rules of Life Offices, to render this class of Policies
valid and unimpeachable documents of security, which no
foreseen circumstances or future accidents could invalidate.
This Company has endeavoured, and they think successfully,
to render their Policies as indefeasible and negotiable secu-
rities as possible, consistently with a due regard to the safety of
the contracting parties; and to effect this object, the Company
has introduced the following clause into their Deed of Settle-
ment :
Clause 78.—" That every Policy issued by the Company
shall be indefeasible and indisputable, and the fact of the
issuing of the same shall be conclusive evidence of its validity,
audit shall not be lawful for the Company to delay payment
of the money assured thereby, on the ground of any error, mis-
take, or omission, however important, made by or on the part
of the person or persons effecting the same, and that on the
contrary, the amount receivable under the same shall be paid
at the time stipulated by the Policy, to the person entitled
thereto, as if no such error, mistake, or omission had been made
or discovered, unless the Polio), shall have been obtained by
fraudulent misrepresentation.
In order to provide against the defeat of a Policy in the
hands of a Creditor, by the Debtor, whose Life is Assured,
leaving the country, and going beyond the prescribed limits,
the Company grant what they term WHOLE WORLD PO-
LICIES, whereby, on condition of receiving an extra premium,
varying in amount according to the circumstances of the ease,
but fixed and determined at the time of issuing the Policy,
the Debtor, on whose Life an Assurance has been effected, is
entitled to go to, or reside in any part of the world, without in-
validating the Assurance; by which means the Creditor's
claim is rendered certain.
To enable a party to effect an Assurance at the LEAST
POSSIBLE EXPENSE, and to entitle hoed t scontinue it
at a less sacrifice than by any other plan, a sevn years' Half-
premium system has been introduced; and, upon comparing
the following scale with any other which has been devised for
reducing present payments, it will be seen how much more
economically a loan transaction can be fortified by this kind
of poliev than by any other. The Half-premium system pos-
sesses a further advantage over temporary Assurances, or those
for a Term of Years, from the Assured having the option of
centinuing for Life the Policy which he may have procured for
a more temporary purpose.

QILVE It SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
Li and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PL NTE. C. WATSON (late ALDERMAN)
41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect sweetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chemical process, by which all that is osseous in mixedmetals is
entirely extracted—resist ng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver,

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal
is peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from
Gold, than his metal is from all others ; the Public will there-
fore have no difficulty in discovering the animus which directs
the virulent attacks made against him, by a party who is daliy
suffering from the unparalleled success which has marked the
progre,s of HIS New Plate since its introduction. C• W.,
unlike his opponents, courts comparison, feeling confident that
the result will establish its pre-eminence.

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presided.
After the usual examination of the children,
The Rev. Mr. SINCLAIR, the Secretary, read the Re-
port, which stated that " In the disposal of your fund
for school-building, the object which your Committee
have invariably kept in view has been to call ferth the
largest possible amount of local efforts_, and to produce
the greatest attainable extent of Church education.
The whole number of cases is 316 ; the total sum
granted is 15,8811. ; and the number of scholars accom
modated is 52,180, being a larger number by 11,907 than
in any preceding:year. As a proof of the inability now
existing, even in populous places, to supply school ac-
commodation of any kind, a clergyman near Manches-
ter, after stating that during the last eight weeks he
had been distributing provisions weekly to more than
1,000 persons,' thus proceeds—' My only school-room
is an empty cotton-mill, from which we are likely to be
ejected every moment, the mill being part of a bank-
rupt's estate. In this room, which contains neither
fire--place nor stove, we have assembled throughout the
winter 290 children. A great many more would have at-
tended, if a fire could have been made in the room.'"
In many instances there are not any school-houses, and
instruction is now given in public-houses and beer-shops.
Another communication stated, that "it was estimated
that in ;the towns of- Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge,
and Dukinfield, there was a population of nearly 60,000
within seven miles of Manchester. About 90 per gent.
of this population belonged to the working-classes. Now,
there was not for that enormous mass a single endowed
day-school, no national school, no Lancasterian school.
At the eastern extremity of Stalybridge a large school
was in the course of erection. In Dukinfield, with a
population of 20,000," continued the statement, " there
had never been a church or chapel belonging to the
Establishment. A church, however, was about to be
consecrated." With respect to the provision of educa-
tion for the children in mills and factories, the Report
said, " In the last Report, it was stated that your Com-
mittee had resolved on making more than ordinary ex-
ertions to provide the means of education for children
employed in 'mills and factories—not so much with a
view of supplying the deficiency as of showing what
might be done, even under existing legal provisions, for
the moral and religious improvement of that unhappy
class. Your Committee have now to state, that their
experiment has been followed by the most gratifying re-
sells. The Factory Inspector for the West Riding of
IThrkshire (Mr. R. Saunders), after stating that. the
number of factory children in his district amounts to
10,000, thus proceeds ;---‘ The success which has at-
tended the exertions of the National Society in behalf of
factory children is veay encouraging. Nearly every fac-
tory child in the districts assigned to the Society's
schools at Leeds and Bradford now attends them. The
last official returns give about 180 in attendance at Leeds,
and nearly 300 at Bradford. No objection to the mode
in which these schools are conducted has been made
since they have been in full operation, either by a parent
or child.' "
, The school-room which has been built by the Society
in the Manchester-road at Bradford. "is now attended
by 950 children on Sundays, and 330 on week-days."
In reference to the "Training Establishment," the Re-
port thus proceeded :
"Your Committee last year stated, that in accordance
with public opinion, preparations had been made to open
an establishment for training youths to be schoolmasters
at Stanley-grove, Chelsea, where an eligible site had
been purchased by the Society for that purpose. Your
Committee have now to report, that the dormitory for
the accommodation of 56 pupils has been completed ;
that a chapel to contain 400 persons has been erected
and consecrated ! and that a model school, as a place of
practical instruction for the pupils in the art of teach-
ing, is now in operation, and attended by 110 scholars.
The original outlay upon this establishment is large,
it exceeds 20,000/. But taking into account the extent
of ground purchased, the number of buildings to be erected
and fitted up, and the respectability of appearance
considered necessary In edifices of a somewhat collegiate
character, the society could not, perhaps, expect to do
so much on cheaper terms. The annual expense to
the society is estimated at 2,0001., and will be strictly
limited to that sum. The payments of pupils are
at the rate of 251. annually from each pupil
during his period of training, which, by recent arrange-
ments, may vary from one year and a half to three
years. Each pupil, after a probation of three months,
is apprenticed to the Society till the completion of his
21st year. The number of apprentices is at present 35,
of whom 10 are entirely free, and 10 partly so, being,
charged 151. a year instead of 251. For these exhibi-
tions, which were considered necessary at the opening of
the Institution, special grants have been voted,
On the motion of the Bishop of CHESTER, the Report
was adopted.
The Bishop of' WORCESTER then moved the following
resolution :—" That the exertions of the Committee to
extend and improve elementary education, by providing
schools for children employed in mills ana factories,
by establishing institutions for training young persons
to be schoolmasters and scqoolmistresses, and by sending
efficient teachers to organise schools in union with the
Society, have the entire concurrence of this meeting, and
form a new claim to support from the friends of edu-
cation and of the Church." He said the children of the
manufacturing districts were peculiarly objects for the
consideration of that Society. He might here mention
that in the time of Edward VI. applications had been
made to the Crown for grants for the education of youth
from two particular places within his diocese. Of these
Birmingham was one. In the one case there was
awarded a grant of the annual sum of 201., and in the
other, that of Birmingham, a grant of certain lands which
at that period yielded the like amount. But what was
the present relative position of the two grants ? Why,
in the one instance the payment of the 201. a year was
continued, whilst in the other the grant of land produced
no smaller a sum than 8,0001. per annum. There was,
therefore, no lack of funds for the education of children
at Birmingham.
The resolution was agreed to.
Archdeacon WILBERFORCE moved—That the best
thanks of the meeting be conveyed to the Noblemen and
Gentlemen of the Committee appointed to collect sub-
scriptions in behalf of the Society, and for their zealous
and unwearied exertions during the last three years to
enlarge the circle of its supporters.'
After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting
separated.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM TIIE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—The organs of the party in power are
going fairly into opposition. The Post declares that
fhe principles on which Sir Robert Peel has prepared
his tariff are, "in their essence, utterly unsound," and
that "in operation they will, we fear, prove de-
structive to an extent yet unimagined." The Times
is accusing Sir James Graham of conspiracy with the
Poor-law Commissioners. The Britannia abuses the
Income-tax, and most of the rest keep ominous si-
lence on that matter. May we take the freedom to
ask what single point in the policy of this Govern-
ment those who helped it into power are now pre-
pared to advocate ? We really do not know one po-
sition from which their batteries were turned on the
Whigs, which has not been contemptuously aban-
doned by their own men in office. Surely this is
a remarkable attitude for a party to take towards
the country—an attitude in which their own press—
which, in the long run, represents pretty accurately
the prevalent feelings of parties—is compelled to
desert them. The party in power are therefore
openly deserted by those sections of followers who
alone addressed the public mind with any great efficacy
in their favour. Assuredly these were the Anti-Free-
Trade and the Anti-New-Poor-Law sections. These
are both openly in opposition ; and without wishing
to exaggerate their power, we really should like
to know with what materials the Ministerialists
mean to replace their loss. The dire neces •
situ of continuing to address themselves to their
old sets of readers has forced their leading organs
into open warfare with their leading measures. This
has not been without sweet, reluctant, amorous de.
lay, and repeated warnings. We are entitled to
assume that twogreat sections of adherents are becom-
ing opponents. In the face of such symptoms Parlia-
mentary majorities are a vain boast. Parlia-
mentary majorities must represent moral forces some-
where. After all that can be attributed to cor-
ruption or to intimidation, no such majority as the
present ever was brought together without vo-
luntary agents. Now, when those agents are alie-
natod ; when those motives are disappointed on which
all the adherents of Toryism, who are free to act for
themselves, have acted—what is left to support the
power of the party of the present Administration, be-
yond the mere fact of possession, and the mere adhe-
rence of personal interests ? How long can these
keep a ministerial majority together, in the face of the
whole independent opinion of its constituency ? How
soon will the personal discontents, which always arise
in a party, the ruffled self-importance of those who as-
pire to parts which are not allotted them, the fermenting
vanity of illustrious obscures, who are kept in the
back-ground—how soon will all these rally round the
revolt-flag of " earnest and decided" Toryism ? Very
soon ; if experience of the past give warrant to anti-
cipate the future. In this " certainly proximate"
event, where will the Ministerial party recruit itself?
Where will it find the means to put down the
threatened revolt of its own janissaries ? 'Where will
it enlist zeal to combat the zeal it has driven from its

side ?
STANDARD.—It appears, by the votes of the
House of Commons, that Lord Ashley will this night
move for leave to bring in a Bill " to make regula
tions respecting the age and sex of persons permitted
to work in mines and collieries." The country will
rejoice to know that the Noble author of the mining
investigation is resolved thus to follow up his work ; and
that he will follow it up with vigour and ability none can
doubt. We do not remember any exposition that has pro-
duced so powerful an effect as the Miningßeport; even
the disclosures of the factory system were less impres-
sive, because they came out gradually, and not, as
it were, by surprise, like the exhibition of the hor-
rors of the mine. The Noble champion of the
sufferers in both departments of oppression and mi-
sery has at present the public mind more de-
cidedly and more strongly with him than upon
any former occasion, and he is not the man to
neglect such a glorious opportunity. He will do
his part, but the country must do something more
than feel and think—it must act, if Lord Ashley is to
he successful. The terms of the Noble Lord's motion
are limited to restraints upon the employment of in-
fants and females ; and so far the motion, if it succeed,
will do great good; but something more will still
be wanting. Some general law is required, that the
means of moral and religious instruction shall be
provided for the people in proportion to their num-
bers, wherever multitudes are collected in a narrow
space. Such a law was unnecessary while the popu-
lation was universally agricultural. The parish
church and the parish school were then sufficient ; but
sufficient these were no longer when masses came to
be collected in mines and factories. New states of
society demand new institutions. Our wiser ances-
tors felt this, and not only varied accommodations to
meet the wants of particular localities, but even
enacted what are called anomalous codes of laws
and erected anomalous Courts of Justice with the
same object. These anomalies, as we call them, are,
however, the truest uniformity ; for nothing is so
really anomalous as a straight rule applied to an un-
dulating surface. 'We throw out these hints, not so
much with a direct reference to Lord Ashley's mo-
tion, as to the arguments with which we expect to see
it resisted. The millowners are the opponents from
whom we anticipate resistance, for they see that if hu-
manity is introduced into the mine, it cannot be long
excluded from the factory.
