LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1845.

The House of Lords met at Five o'Clock.

The business transacted was confined exclusively to
the presentation of petitions. Among them was one
from Edinburgh, presented by Lord CAMPBELL, against
any change in the Scotch system of banking, and ono
from SAMUEL GRAY, complaining of the conduct of the
law officers in Ireland, in instituting repeated prosecu-
tions against hip on the same charge.
Their Lordships adjourned shortly after Five o'clock.
In the House of Commons the Hon. 11. FITZROY took
the oaths and his seat for Lewes.

Sir W. HEATUCOTE brought up the report of the Sub
Committee on private Bills.
Various petitions were presented.
. .

New writs were ordered for East Kent in the room of
Sir E. KNlzennuLL, who had accepted the Chiltern Hun-
dreds, and for Thetford in the room of Mr. W. B. BA-
RING, who had accepted the office of Paymaster-General.
Several notices of motion were given, among them was
one by Mr. WARD, for Tuesday week, to renew
his motion respecting the exclusive and parti-
cular burdens on land, and one by Lord J. RUSSELL,
for going into Committee of Ways and Means for the
purpose of proposing the sugar duties, to move this
resolution by way of amendment :—" That it is
the opinion of this House that the plan proposed by
her MAJESTY'S Government, in reference to the sugar
duties, professing to keep up a distinction between
free-labour sugar and foreign slave-grown sugar, is im-
politic, and would aggravate the evils of a protecting
duty to their colonies at the expense of the consumer,
would tend to impair the revenue, and render the re-
moval of the property and income-tax, at the end of
three years, very improbable and uncertain."
Lord ASHLEY then moved for leave to bring in a Bill
to regulate the labour of children in the calico print-
works of Great Britain and Ireland.
Sir J. GRAHAM could not refuse to consent to the
introduction of the Bill, but he must reserve for himself
and the Government the most perfect discretion with
respect to the mode in which the details of the Bill were
to be carried out.

PUGILISM.--CHURCH AND BURTON.— Yesterday
was the evenful day fixed for the fight between these men, who were
matched for 501. a-side ; and, from their well-known merit as bruisers,
the pugilistic fancy anticipated a fine display of flstic science. Burton
Is a Leicester man, and Church a member of the London ring. Ar-
rangements were made for an aquatic excursion, and the _Nymph
steamer was "specially retained" for the belligerents and their
friends, and Gravesend was the locality selected. The steamer started
from Hungerford Pier with a large assemblage of the " admirers of
milling," Burton, under] the wing of " Jem Burn," and a•-
rived at their destination in the confident hope of meeting their
arrestean-
tagonist,t when, "lo and behold," Church was no* eat inrentue. Wry
faces were made, and hard words used, but to no purpose. A war-

The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the
whole Profits arc 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 1,2971.; or, if effected on or before the Ist March, 1633, to 1,2751.,
and so on as regards other Policies.
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.

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 wills safety ; those
adapted to the RETURN SYSTEM entitle its assured to an equitable
participation in the surplus 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.

WINDOW-TAX.

Lord DUNCAN gave notice of his intention, on a future
clay, to bring forward the following motion :—" That the taxes
levied on windows were a great burden on the country—unjust
and unequal in their operation, most oppressive on those who
had to tear them, and ought therefore to be immediately
repealed." While he was on his legs he would take the oppor-
tunity of answering the question put to him the other evening
by the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's
Government, who, he regretted to see, was not in his
',lace. It appeared to be the general opinion that they
should go on with the adjourned debate to-morrow evening,
and, as he understood all other Honourable Gentlemen
who had notices on the paper for that night agreed to
tostpone them, it would be most injudicious in him if
e persisted in pressing his motion. He, therefore,
begged leave to give notice that he would bring on his motion
on the subject of the window-tax on Monday evening, on the
question being put that the Speaker leave the Chair to go
into a Committee of Supply.—( Hear, hear. )

THE ROYAL NORTHERN LUNATIC
ASYLUM

So called by special permission of her Most Gracious Majesty.

1. The primary object of the projected Institution is the accommo-
dation of Pauper Lunatics for the Northern Counties, and other
Lunatics in poor circumstances, but not Paupers, whose support fags
upon their relations.
2. The contribution of 211. entitles the contributor to the privilege
of presentation at the most reduced rate of board ; and any parish or
number of individuals contributing to that amount is entitled to the
same privilege.
3. Of course the larger the number of patients, the lower will be
the rate of charge; and if, ultimately, the Asylum, by additional
buildings, provide accommodation for a better class of patients, their
higher board will assist in further lessening that of the poorer
classes.

4. congregations, and individuals not legally liable in the sup-
port of Pauper Lunatics, it is no inconsiderable privilege, that of
being entitled to send to such an Institution any peer individual, not
a Pauper, with whom they may be connected, or in whom they may
feel an interest, at a rate of certainly not less than 30 per cent. lower
than the board of those in a similar station sent by persons not pos-
sessing such privilege.

THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON.--WE have re-
ceived further accounts of the experimental squadron, which
we can rely on. From these. we learn that the Queen had the
best of the first day. On the morning of the second day's trial
St. Vincent was first, Queen second, Canopus third, and the
rest far astern, the old Trafalgar almost out of sight to leeward.
Thick weather then came on, and continued for several days.
The next trial was a run of about eighty miles, on Saturday,
wind W.N.W. when Canopus was again the first, Albion se-
cond, Queen third, followed in rotation by Rodney, Superb,
St. Vincent, Vanguard, and last old Trafalgar, In the next
trial, on the following Monday, in a rue of twenty miles,
course about North-West, St. Vincent was first, Vanguard
next, followed by Rodney, Canopus, Queen, Albion, Tra-
falgar, and Superb last. The locality of the cruising ground is
the Nymph Bank, which stretches across the chops of the
Channell, and about ninety miles from Scilly. Subsequent ac-
counts to the 10th instant state the Queen to have proved her-
self the best of the three-deckers, and the Canopus the best of
the two-deekers, in all the trials which had taken place. It is
also stated that the Trafalgar, Vanguard, and Superb, were the
sternmost ships of the squadron, the laver universally so, and
her performances altogether had been throughout the reverse of
her name.—Hampshire Advertiser.
SUDDEN DEATH IN THE 'EDGEWARE-ROAD.—
On Tuesday Mr. G. J. Mil's held an inquest at the Royal
Standard, Star-street, Paddington, on the body of Joan
Boyd, aged forty-five, a gentleman's servant. On Sunday
last deceased called on a friend, with whom he walked to
Bayswater, and there partook of tea. They then called on an
acquaintance living with General M'Leod, in Sasses-square,
and afterwards as they were returning home through the
Eolgeware-road, deceased was suddenly seized with a tit opposite
to the Paddington Chapel. He was conveyed to his iodgangs,
63, Star-street, and there died at two o'clock on the following
morning. Medical evidence attributed deceased's death to ,
apoplexy. Verdict accordingly.
