This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords
the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in
the great success which has attended it, since its commence-
ment in 1834.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Share-
holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added V. per
Cent. per Annum, from the date of the policies to those par-
ties who had insured with Profits.
The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale,
and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the
Insurance is for life.
The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence-
ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December
1840, is as follows:

TOTNES
APRIL s.—Our little quiet town exhibited no
small degree of activity and bustle last. Saturday ;
two events combined to produce this excitement. The
sale of the large estates of E. Montague Parker, Esq.,
the late M.P. for the southern division of Devonshire,
and the first appearance of the celebrated George Ro-
bins in our town, to officiate in his own proper per-
The day was fearfully hot, and the heat of the
room when the company had assembled could be very
little short of an East Indian atmosphere. The crowd
was very great, and curiosity not a little excited. On
Mr. Robins 's appearance he indulged them with a
long and pithy exordium on the increased and in-
creasing value of terra firma, and it is but fair to pro-
claim he made lots of converts to his reasoning ; in-
deed, it was most successfully done, and evidently by
the hand of a master, as the result will show. One
of the farms, upon which there is a lease of four-
teen years to run, and at a rack rent, sold for forty-
two years' purchase. Mr. Robins, who had been
very happy in his previous commentary, took occa-
sion to notice the value of his opinion, by the most
infallible proof, viz., the result. He had previously
taken a luminous view of Sir Robert Peel's alteration
in the Corn-law, which he proclaimed to be the result
of a mind imbued with a perfect knowledge of the
very intricate subject which he had taken up ; and he
did not hesitate to say that the Bill, as it had passed
the Houses of Parliament, was so near to perfection
that no one possessed of an accurate knowledge on
this subject, would take the chance of again disturb-
ing it. It might be considered now as a final measure.
He then took credit with his auditory for a little share
of perspicuity in his argument upon the Corn-laws,
observing the result of these large sales had now placed
his opinion beyond doubt; and he was proud to say
he was the first, and in his own person, to illustrate
his opinion by facts that now could not well be con-
troverted. Mr. Robins dwelt, very much upon the
high price of the funds, the probability of a slight
increase of one or two per cent., and contrasted it
with the probability (in case of an angry message
from any of the allied powers) of a fall of 20, or even
30 per cent.; observing the very cause that must
produce the fall in the stocks would increase land in
the exact same proportion. His concluding observa-
tions were to the effect, that next spring all the lead-
ing capitalists would enter the field, and be purchasers
of land, if the opportunity should fortunately present
itself to find estates to deal with.—Plymouth paper,
Sept. 5.
The Woodchester property, near Stroud, one of
the fine estates of the Earl of Ducie, is cominc, into
the market early in the spring. It is, probably, the
largest estate that has been sub.ect to public compe-
tion since the memorable sale of Lord Ormonde's
property in 1815. His estates were sold by Mr.
George Robins for 500,000/. ; and it is said he expects
to obtain for Lord Ducie's more than 300,0001.

a gardener, of Quadring, was then brought forward.
He had been the last person seen in company with
the prisoner. They separated, Dawson declared, be-
tween nine and ten o'clock, he going home, and the
prisoner either going another way or staying near
the public-house in which they had been drinking
together, and which was near the place where the
bloody deed was committed. It being known that
the prisoner had certain signs or movements by
which he could communicate with those he was in-
timately connected with, his father was desired to
as an interpreter ; but the answers given by him
to the questions proposed, led the Jury to suppose
i toy were not in accordance with those of the son,
n it was on this account that an adjournment of
the inquiry before the Coroner took place, that an
indifferent person might lA. -found who was capable
of interpreting satisfactorily.— At this time also the
shirt of the prisoner in which the foul murder was
committed was missing. It was subsequently
found under the bed on which he lay, and strong
stains of blood are on it, notwithstanding great
efforts seemed to have been made to wash them out.
There is little doubt, from the state in which the
night-dress of the poor murdered woman was found
(over her head), and her body being quite exposed,
that a lustful purpose had been entertained by the
murderer, in resisting which she lost her life, the cruel
tiger by whom she had been assailed cutting and
mangling her neck and shoulders with various deep
and dreadful gashes, in a way the most extraordinary.
One wound extends from the upper part of the breast-
bone upwards, to an inch behind and above the right
ear, being nine inches in length, and completely di-
viding the integuments and muscles ; the scalp is cut
to the bone, the right carotid artery is severed, as well
as the internal and external jugular veins, and there
are two gashes across the windpipe ; the hands are
also cut to the bones ; and such a sight as the poor
creature presents has scarcely ever before met the
eyes of humanity."—Stamford Mercury.

QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.
DUPPLIN CASTLE.

Dupplin Castle, the residence of the Earl of Kin-
noul, is situated on the north side of the vale of
Strath-Earn, a very beautiful spot, about 30 miles in
length, full of rich meadows and corn fields, divided
by the river Earn, which serpentines finely through
its centre, falling into the Tay, of which there is a
fine prospect at the east end of the vale, which,
throughout, is pleasantly diversified with groves and
the houses of gentry and nobility.
The south front of the castle commands a fine view
of the entire vale; behind it are plantations extending
several miles in length, which all flourish luxuriantly,
with the exception of those of ash. The large
chesnut here grows in aborescent grandeur, with the
spruce and silver firs, the darker cedar, and the arbor
vita. The broad-leaved laburnum &so thrives
greatly here, growing to a great size, and its wood
is used in veneering. With regard to the fruitage of
Dupplin, it succeeds but indifferently : grapes, figs,
and late peaches will not ripen : the winter begins
early and ends late, and even the secluded bosom of
this vale is visited by high and stormy winds.
The Lords of Kinnoul have made planting and
agriculture one of their chief pursuits. In 1790
Lord Kinnoul. planted not fewer than eighty thousand
trees, besides Scotch firs, providing future forests for
the benefit of his successors and the embellishment of
his country.
Dupplin possesses some exceedingly fine pictures.
Among the more remarkable is one of Luther, BuCer,
and Catherine the nun, in the characters of musicians,
by Georgiana di Castel Franco. Others very notice-
able are, a fine head of a secular priest, by Titian.
St. Nicholas blessing three children. Two pictures
of cattle by Rosa di Tivoli ;'fthead of Spenser ; a fine
head of Butler, by Sir Peter Lely ; Mrs. Tofts, in the
character of gt.• Catherine, by Sir Godfrey Kneller.
Mrs. Tofts lived at the very introduction of the opera
into this kingdom, and sang in company with Nicco-
lhil, but, being ignorant of Italian chanted her reci-
tative in English, in answer to his Italian, ana the
charms of their voices amply overcame the absurdity.
Among the remainder o the pictures are those of
the second Earl of Kinnoul, by Vandyck ; Chancellor
Haye, by Mytens ; a good portrait ot Lord TreaSurer
Oxford, by Richardson, and a beautiful miniature of
Sir John Earnley.
But the most remarkable is a head of the celebrated
Countess of Desmond, whom the apologists for the
usurper Richard 111. bring in as an evidence against
the received opinion of his deformity, with whom she
danced at court. She lived to the age of one hundred
and forty, and twice or thrice renewed her teeth ; for
Lord Bacon assures us, in his " History of Life and
Death," ter per vices dentiisse; and main in his " Natu-
ral History, mentions that she did dentire twice or
thrice, casting her old teeth, and others coming in
their place.
Not far from Lord Kinnoul's residence lie the Carse,
or rich plains of Gowrie, and the hill of Kinnoul,
with its vast cliff, is remarkable for its beautiful
pebbles. Also at a short distance are the vestiges of
a Roman road.

HER MAJESTY AT DUNKELD.
Her Majesty was greeted with the heartiest accla-
mations on her approach to Dunkeld, where she ar-
rived precisely at a quarter past one o'clock. The
carriage stopped in the Bowling Green. A Royal
salute was then fired; and her Majesty having
alighted, took the arm of Prince Albert, and slowly
walked round the Green, manifesting, by her grati -
fied looks, the admiration with which she beheld the
gallant array of Lord Glenlyon's clansmen, who had
assembled to the number of not less than a thousand,
all clad in " the garb of oki Gaul." The spectacle
was of the most animating description ; and the bells
rang a merry peal in honour of the illustrious pair.
Having changed horses the Royal carriage proceeded
on its route, amidst continued acclamations.

TAYMOUTH CASTLE.
WEDNESDAY FoßErroorr.—ller Majesty's visit to
this princely Castle promises to be the most attractive
feature in the Royal tour, both on account of the ex-
' tensive preparations made for the reception, and the
splendid scenery around. It has been remarked that
Taymouth Castle combines all the elements of the
picturesque—the grandeur of mountain scenery,, the
beauty of the woodland, and the freshness of the
stream. The Castle, as all tourists know, is a very large
ashen-coloured, quadrangular building, of four stories,
with wings and a tower, a hundred and fifty feet in
height. It is situated near the foot of Drummond
Hill, which is covered with luxuriant foliage, the
Tay winding beautifully behind the Castle, and be-
tween it and the base of the hill. In front there •is
an extensive lawn, which, after presenting a fine level
for a considerable space, is seen to ascend the opposite
side of the valley, until it joins the forest which runs
to the top of the eminence. Towards the west
stretches Loch Tay, and on every side the eye loses
itself amidst Alpine scenery. In short, the situation
of Tayrnouth Castle, as well as the road from Dun-
keld to it, possesses charms to the lover of the pic-
turesque which even the Highlands of Scotland can
scarcely surpass ; and therefore .her Majesty and
Prince Albert, during their limited sojourn in Scot-
land, could not have selected a tour which affords a
better earnest of the wild beauties of northern Ca-
ledonia.

son.

The welcome which will greet her Majesty's en -
;ranee iuto the Highlands, and thence to the halls of
Taymouth Castle, will also be characteristic of the
land. Along the road from Dunkeld various triumphal
arches have been erected; at Milltown of Kincraigie, one
is inscribed." Ye'r welcome to your Highland Glens."
A mile to the east 'of Aberfeldy there is a splendid
arch surmounted by a crown, the whole being
constructed with heather; another arch of the same
national material has been erected at the entrance of
Aberfeldy, which beautiful village, as well as that of
Kenmore, have been all whitewashed for the occasion.
The first approach to Taymouth is also decorated
with a heather arch, as well as the bridge at Kenmore
and other places in the vicinity, where the Royal cor-
tege is expected to pass.
On descending the eastern approach to Taymouth
Castle the eye meets marquees in various directionS
for the use of the Highlanders assembled. A short
way to the eastward of the Castle is a battery on an
eminence, but the battery which will fire the salute
on the Royal approach is erected on the hill in front
of the Castle, and at an elevation of about 600 feet.
Another battery is placed to the westward, near the
foot of Loch Tay. I? lags are placed on the adjoining
hills, so that the approach of her. Majesty and her
Royal Consort can be telegraphed.
On her Majesty and Prince Albert alighting at the
grand entrance of Taymouth Castle, the scene is ex-
pected to be very grand and imposing. The High-
landers, to the number of several hundreds, and
all equipped in the national dress, will be drawn
up, forming part of a large circle round the entrance.

As soon as the Royal party approaches within the
cordon, the Highlanders and the troops will give the
salute in due form, and immediately after, the clans-
men will take off their bonnets and give three hearty
highland cheers—while the band of the 66th, which
has been dispatched for the occasion, will strike up
the National Anthem, and upwards of twenty
pipers will play the tune after their own
fashion. We understand that Macdonald, piper
to the Marquis of Breadalbane, and Mackay,
piper to the Celtic Society, both officiated on the
entrance of George the Fourth into Holyrood,
on the lith of August., 1822. The Highlanders
have all been drilled for the occasion ; and from
their fine appearance yesterday, at . a general
parade in front of the Castle, we have no doubt
they will impart an imposing effect to the spectacle,
and which cannot fail to be highly interesting to
her Majesty and Prince Albert. These stalwart
Highlanders are divided into various companies—
the grenadier company being under the command of
Captain Campbell Borland—the light company, who
are arrayed in light shepherd tartan, are under Cap-
tain George Campbell. This last company are armed
with rifles, and are expected to act as Deer Beaters
at the grand hunt at the Black Mount. Company
No. 1 of the Campbells is under W. Bowie Campbell,
Esq., Company No. 2, under J. Campbell Renton, Esq.,
of L amberton, and company No. 3, under Capt.G.Camp-
bell. The Halberdiers will be commanded by Sir
Alexander Campbell, Bart., of Barcaldine, William
Campbell, Esq., of Glenfalloch, will net as Lieute-
nant-Colonel of the whole. The Hon. Fox Maule is
the Adjutant-General, and Major Campbell, of Mel-
ford, the Adjutant. There are seven standard beareri,
but the chief, or the Breadalbane standard, is John
Campbell, Esq. yr., of Glenfalloell, who is a fine spe-
cimen of Celtic manliness and vigour.
A large assemblage of Nobility are expected at the
Castle during the Royal visit. Among ttose who
have already arrived are the Duke and Duchess of
Sutherland, the Duke and Duchess .of Roxburh, the
Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, the Earl of
Lauderdale, Lord and Lad Belhaven Sir Anthony
Maitland, the Hon. Fox Mauls, the Hon. Mr. Rus-
sell,Scc., &e.

Dupplin was the scene of the unfortunate battle
which was fought on the 12th of August, 1332, be-
tween Edward Baliol and the gcottish 'army com-

rnanded by the Earl of Marr, then Regent in the mi-
nority of David the Second. The vestiges of Baliol's
camp remain to this day, a little on the west, while
the Regent's army lay encamped on thehill, very close
to Dupplin House. 'A
disagreement, comman to the
feudal times, took place, and the one part of their
leader's forces were separated under the Earl of Dun-
bar, at Auchterarder, a few, miles distant. This de-

termined Mar to stand on the defensive until he Could
be joined by the former ; but Baliol crossing the river
at night, and beginning his, attack, he was induced by
the reproach of timidity from the Earl of Carrick, to
renew the fight with Baliol, supported by the English
archers, the best troops then in Europe. A horrible
carnage ensued. Three thousand Scots fell on the
spot, among whom were the flower of the nobility,
with no farther loss to the English than two knights
and 33 esquires, without that of one common man.
The day was particularly fatal to the family of the
Hays. Historians relate that the name would have
been extinct, had not several of the warriors left their
wives pregnant. This last circumstance is by some
supposed to
-be an.invention, borrowed from the Ro-

man story of the Fabii.
THE BANQUET IN THE COUNTY HALL

The alterations within Taymouth Castle are on the
most extensive wale, The drawing-room has been
newly furnished, and liberally, with a gorgeous mag-
nificence. We understand that an individual well
versed in those matters, and intimately acquainted with
the principal seats an either side of .the Tweed, gave
it as his decided opinion, that neither England nor
Seotland could rival the drawing-room of Taymouth
Castle, and he added, that he questioned if
Europe
itself could equal the workmanship which has been
expended on this drawing-room. The State bed-
room, forming part of what is called the Chinese
rooms, Is also on the same settle of splendour. The
cost has been immense.
The day was rather looking dull in the morn-
ing, but as it advanced it cleared up, se that her
Majesty has every prospect of a pleasant drive
from scone to Dunkeld, and thence along the
wooded banits of the Tay to Taymouth Castle.
It is supposed that here Majesty will reach the
Caatio about five o'clock. The aquatic excursion
on Loch Tay has boon arranged for to-morrow.
The Queen's barge is commanded by Captain Mac-
Dotigalllll.N., who will steer in person--the Loch
Tay barge is commanded by Lieutenant J. Campbell,
]4,N.—and the Admiralty barge by Lieutenant
Campbell, R.N. There will be six barges which will
accompany her Majesty, who if the weather is fine,
will in this manner visit the falls of Acharran.
We also learn that her Majesty's route from Pay-
mouth to Drummond Castle will be by Kenmore,
keeping on the north side of Loch Tay to Killin, and
thence by Loch Earn head to Crieff.

Dean of Guild, Colonel Peeblei of the Sixth Cara-
bineers, &c. ; and on the left by Bailie Clunie, Mr,
Smythe, of Methven, Colonel Balmain, &c. The
Magistrates and Town Clerks acted as Croupiers
at the bottom of the different tables. Among
the guests present on this occasion, were not
a few whose names are distinguished in potence
and literature ; and, among others, Professors
Anderson, Gillespie, Duncan, &c. &c. The proceed.•
ings were extremely interesting, and characteristA
the most enthusiastic loyalty and devotion to her Ma-
jesty, but we have not time to report them minutely.
Several of the speeches delivered on the occasion were
really eloquent and happily expressed, and Provost
Sidey, particularly, acquitted himself admirably.
On the health of her Majesty being drank, the
national anthem was sung by M. Wilson, the emi-
nent vocalist, assisted by some other singers, and in
which the majority of the coMpany took a part. Mr,
Wilson sang several Scottish songs in the course of
the evening, and an excellent' band fl,om Edinhurgh,
under the leadership of Mr, It. B. Stewart, filled up
the pauses betwixt the toasts
.that were not oconpiod

DONCASTER. RACES.-51'. LEGER.
(From the Doncaster Gazette.)
This, the commencement of a new era in the racing
annals of Doncaster, must be hailed with feelings of
high satisfaction—even of exultation in many in-
stances—by every lover of the turf, especially by
those who have looked to the recurrence of its annual
splendid fete, with its countless delightful associa-
tions, and embracing advantages almost, if not en-
tirely, unrivalled—by those who have accustomed
themselves to pay to the town, during the race week,
their annual visit for the purposes of relaxation and
enjoyment. Doncaster, far-famed as it is, has not
yet seen its best racing (lays.
With regard to the beautiful race-ground
.itself,
with its splendid approaches, and all the arrange-
ments connected with the proceedings of the week,
those measures have been adopted for the extension
of the comfort and the safety of the visitors, which
which leave little to be desired.

As allusion has already been made to the several
new stakes, as well as to the extraordinary number of
subscribers in others, there is no occasion to go over
the same ground. It will be sufficient to state, in
this place, that the largest list ever presented in Don-
caster to the admirers of the good old English cus-
tom of horse racing, will be the forthcoming list
of 1842.
Merely premising that the ball will he opened on
Monday next with, amongst others, the Great York-
shire Handicap which will be deemed by many per-
sons as interesting as the St. Leger itself, one may at
once pass on to, certainly, the great event of the week,
with the hundred and thirty-four subscribers, the
largest St. Leger hitherto known.
Presuming that the character of public running is
the best test as to the powers and capabilities of the
respective competitors when brought together in one
mighty and interesting struggle, let us glance at these
performances.

THE LATE MURDER AT
QUADRING.
INQUEST ON
TIDE BODY.
An adjourned inquest was held on Wednesday on
the body of Mary Spencer, a schoolmistress, of whose
harbarous murder a report appeared a few days ago
in The Sun. The bloody shirt of the supposed 'mur-
derer was produced in Court, and
after a patient in

a verdict of Wilful
Murder against William llowitt.
