Low Rates of Premium.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As-
sured have the security of the Company's income of upwards
of £50,000 per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating
Assurance Fund invested in Government and other available
securities, of considerably larger amount than the estimated
liabilities of the Company.
Tho rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com-
patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of
the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Ilolder
an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the
deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division
of Profits.

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL.

The " Notes on the Army," with which the Num-
ber before us commences, the writer observes, while
speaking of the conduct of officers towards their su-
periors, " men on sentry in a barrack-yard see every-
thing that is passing, and their two hours' silent
pacing gives full time for reflections on what they
see and what they hear. The worldly knowledge
and cunning of an old soldier are proverbial. It is,
therefore, quite impossible for any officer to acquire
the respect and confidence of a regiment unless he
deserves them, for the happiness of the officers and
men depend upon the commanding officer, and when
a soldier pronounces his commanding officer to be a
real gentleman, you may be quite sure he is a very
superior man." These are very intelligent observa-
tions, -and would seem to be the result of the
writer's own personal experience. "Forcing the
Khyber Pass" is an animated narrative of some recent
military operations in Affghanistan. In a gossiping
biographical sketch, entitled " Passages in the Life
of a Sailor," we find a high tribute of respect paid
to the memory of the late Lord Collingwood.

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.

" Jack Hinton, the Guardsman," continues his
military reminiscences this month, and, as usual, re-
lates them with spirit and humour. There is a dash-
ing, off-hand air about him, that proves him to be a
genuine Patlander, and the apparent truth and
earnestness of his narrative greatly interest us in it.
" Nuts and Nutcrackers" is a collection of miscel-
laneous remarks, chiefly suggested by the passing
topics of the day. Some of them are lively and
satirical, and some distinguished by sober good sense.
The "Memoir of the Bishop of Exeter" seems to be
penned by one who is perfectly familiar with the par-
ticulars of the Right Rev. Prelate's public career. It
is highly eulogistic, as might be expected from such a
determined Tory periodical as the Dublin University.

SPAIN.

. ST. SEBASTIAN, JULY 28.—The following manifes!o
tddressed to the men and officers of the Army of the
corth, by General San Miguel, immediately on his
arrival in Vittoria, has just been published here

TO THE CHIEFS, OFFICERS, AND MEN COMPOSING THE

ARMY OF THE 12TH MILITARY DISTRICT.

" Companions in• Arms and Fellow Soldiers,—Placed
At-your head by the order of his Highness the Regent of
the kingdom, I do hereby announce to you, that it is my
iced determination to employ my best energies in order
o render myself deserving of the confidence thus reposed
'n me.

" Our duties as soldiers are simple. To defbnd with
!mirage and loyalty the independence of the nation
igainst external enemies ;_ to protect the laws and public
irder against the internal foes and traitors who may at-.
-,empt to disturb them. Such are the duties and obliga-
'ions which our country imposes on us. On all occasions
you have proved to the world that you are animated by
the desire to perform so glorious a task ; and such are
.he titles which have given you a claim to the esteem
old affection of all good citizens.
" That portion of the country which is included in the
12th military district is distinguished for love of labour
And the industrious character of its inhabitants. Its first
necessity. is the preservation of peace and of public order,
•inder the influence of which it can alone attain to prospe-
rity and happiness. If, then, any individual, whatever
5e the mask he may assume, shall dare to promote dis-
order, or to disturb the laws and the political system by
vhich we are at present governed, you will, I trust, he
ready to repress his audacity with the valour and pa-
triotism which always distinguish Spanish .soldiers.
Should the moment of danger arrive, you will see me,
vho am a veteran in the cause of Spanish liberty and
independence, more than ever. ready to lead you on in the
;ood cause.
" Companions in arm ! the first Magistrate of the nu-
don is at the same time its first soldier, and this 'noble
chant( ty is h's best title to glory. No one better knows
-he necessities of the valiant Spanish army,. no one la-
)ours more for its well-being, and no one makes greater
Aforts in order that merit and good service shall meet
with their due recompense.
" But, above all, do not forget that subordination is
the soul of military service ; and that without the strict
observance of the principles of good discipline, armies
cannot exist.

" Long live the Constitution of 1837, the Queen Donna
Isabella 11., and the Regent, the Duke of Victory and
! " EVARISTO SAN MIGUEL.

" Vittoria, July 25."
The General is expected to arrive here this evening ;
he was to have slept last night at Tolosa.
• The 4th of next month is the day now confidently
!lamed for the arrival of Don Francisco Paulo with his
family at San Sebastian.

The writ for the borough of Southampton having been
issued, Messrs. St. John Mildmay and Hope have ap-
peared on the Conservative side, while Mr. George
Thompson stands forward for the Liberal interest. The
nomination is fixed for Saturday, and the polling for

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

The street leading from Farringdon-street for the
formation of the line of road to Clerkenwell-green is to
be carried on forthwith. The houses on each side are
to be second-rate buildings, the frontage of each being
about eighteen feet, and the depth about sixty feet, and
they are entirely to be finished within twelve months.
NAVAL AND MILITARY.

By a comparison of the speed at sea, or what may be
called the sea•tates of the Britannia, Columbia, and
Acadia, which are known as the British and North
American Royal Mail steam-ships, it appears that the
average passage performed by them to and from Liver-
pool and Halifax, during the years 1840 and 1841, as
calculated by chronometer, gives, the outward passage
13 days and 6 hours, and the home 11 days 3 hours.

The Duke of Cambridge and his daughter, the

THE MAGAZINES,
MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
Another change of proprietorship and editorship
has, it seems, taken place in this veteran periodical,
which is no longer under the conduct of Mr. Benson
Hill. We trust that it may benefit by the change,
though the fate of the Courier newspaper is a proof
that frequent changes are seldom advantageous to
literary publications. In the opening article on
"Drummond of Hawthornden and Ben Jonson" occur
some judicious remarks on the mental calibre of the
late Mr. Gifford, who—says the writer—" exercised
in his life a very strong and undue influence in the
literary world. Of his original works, none seem to
have a hold on the public, for they have not been re-
printed for many years. As a commentator, he has
been much overrated, and has justly been accused of
sacrificing truth to the maintenance of his own vio-
lent prejudices. He had all the acerbity attributed to
to Dr. Johnson, but there is no life in four volumes to
prove him the wit and philanthropist." Of the re-
maining contributions, the most amusing is one headed
" Chapters on Wine," which is the production of Mr.
Cyrus Redding.

SECONDARIES' COURT, August 2.
WARD V. TAYLOR.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of
41. 18s. for goods sold and delivered.
The defendant pleaded the general issue.
The amount was for three and a half tons of coal,

merchant, residing in Spitalfields. The delivery of the
coals was proved, and the Jury found for the full amount
claimed. '

INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, August 2.
IN RE LLEWELLYN.

The insolvent was a wheelwright and machinist in
Crown-street, Soho-square,. His petition to be dis-
charged was supported by ➢ir. Cooke, and opposed by
Mr. Woodruffe, on behalf of a creditor for the small
sum of 51.

The opposing Counsel subjected him to a long exami-
nation, by which it appeared that he had disposed of his
premises to a person named Stevens, and had been al-
ready before the Court, when he was sent back for the
purpose of amending his special balance-sheet.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER, upon looking
over the balance-sheet, said it was still quite imperfect,
and not available for the ends of justice ; he should,
therefore, again adjourn the case, requiring ;a week's
notice to be given of the day for hearing.
Ten bail cases, and several unopposed hearings, were
disposed of during the morning, in which there appeared
no point of general interest.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD ClRCUlT—Shrewsbury, July 29.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.)
MANSLAUGHTER.—Isaac Cooper was indicted for the man-
slaughter of his brother, James Cooper, at Wellington, on the
22d of May last.
Mr. Johnson Neale prosecuted; Mr. Yardley defended the
prisoner.
It appeared that until the day on which the melancholy oc-
currence, which formed the subject of this prosecution, took
place, the prisoner and his deceased brother bad always lived
upon terms of the most perfect friendship, and had never even
been known to have had a quarrel, or indeed an altercation of
any kind, though they had always resided under the same roof.
On the night of the 22d of May, the deceased had been drink-
ing with some friends in Wellington, and the prisoner, ac-
companied by a man of the name of Machin, had gone out in
search of him for the purpose of bringing him home. They
met him in New-street, and requested him to retarn with them,
which he attempted to do, but being exceedingly drunk, he
could only walk with difficulty ; the prisoner, therefore, and
Machin supported him between them, and had conveyed him
some distance, when they came to a liquor-shop, which the de-
ceased expressed a wish to enter. The prisoner objected and
endeavoured to induce him to go home, upon which the de-
ceased became extremely violent, and catching hold of the
prisoner by the collar, and at the same time (placing his leg
behind him, threw him violently to the ground, falling heavily
by his side. The prisoner lost the control of his temper upon
this provocation, and when they rose a struggle took place,
during which the deceased received a blow upon his right eye,
which felled him to the pavement, and the back of his head

LONGEVeITY.—Mr. Nagle, of Ballinamona Castle,

of the Southern Reporter:—" I think you will not have any
objection to insert in your next publication the death of a very
old man, my pound-keeper, on part of the lands of Clogher,
near Doneraile, named Louis Nl'holeham. He died yesterday,
at the age of 118 years and seven months. He was married to
his first wife more than fifty years, and had no offspring. He
married a second wife at the age of 1( 9 years, by whom he has
had a son, a fine boy, and rery like the father. From his great
age I have given him his house and the parish pound many
years rent free, which made him comfortable and prolonged
Eris life. He n :ver lost a teeth, nor had he a grey hair on his
ht ad."

The third trial of Mr. Samuel Gray, for shooting at James

Two medical students, named Henry Freeman and Alfred
Mogier, were charged with furiously driving a chaise, one of

The harvest has already begun in this district, with
the most encouraging prospects; the weather being all that
could be desired for ripening the crops; and, owing to the al-
most entire absence of tempests, they are standing in an excel-
lent state for the sickle. On certain soils (more especially in
Herefordshire) the wheat is described as looking thin, but we
believe that on the whole a full average will be realized. In
this market the price of wheat has been for some time ranging
between b6s. and 685., the average of the kingdom, published
for the last week, was 6.55. Bd. From the promising state of
the weather a decline is now expected ; and, it is hoped, that
the result of the approaching harvest will be so favourable as to
preclude the necessity of exporting much of the precious metals,
withdrawn from the currency of this country, for the purchase
of foreign food.— Worcester Journal
POSTAGE OF LETTERS.—The following notice has
been issued by command of the Right Hon. -Lord Lowther,
the Postmaster-General, in consequence of the inconvenience
and delay that are caused in the transmission of letters from
the neglect of the parties :—" It having been a frequent prac-
tice to leave foreign and ship letters at the post-offices and re-
ceiving-houses with a penny, while the clerks and receivers are
engaged for the moment with other parties, notice is hereby
given, that letters subject to higher rates so left by the parties
posting them will not be forwarded, but will be sent to the
dead-letter office to be returned to the writers."
TIIE NEW TARIFF.—A most remarkable instance
of the effect of the new tariff has been afforded in the port of
Exeter. A mercantile house entered at the Customs a cargo
of hides, and paid about 40/. for the duty, according to the
new scale; but had duty been paid on the same cargo two
days before, it would have amounted to 4001. It is easy,
therefore, to anticipate the extensive influence which the
change must have on the affairs of commerce.—Devonport

THE SPORTING MAGAZINE.

" The Sporting Life of England," by John Mills,
Esq., proposes several remedies fin• evils at present
existing on the betting-course, and shows how cer-
tain " full-grown thistles" may be eradicated from
the " emerald turf." " Prospects of the Game Sea-
son" holds out good hopes to the sportsman, it being
the writer's opinion that " a dry spring followed by
a dry summer, cannot fail to produce abundance of
game "—and such a one has been the present. An
engraving of Alice Hawthorne, the celebrated racer,
winner since 1841 of three several sweepstakes and
two cups, decorates the number.

SCINDE.

Among the items of intelligence which have
reached us from Scinde, and which may be depended
on as authentic, are an announcement that a large
army, said to be 25,000 strong, is advancing from
blushed to Herat, and that very suspicious conferences
are being held at Hyderabad,;between the Ameers
and others, requiring the most vigilant attention of
Major OUTRAM.
The Seiks are said to be in force on the Muree
territory, without their object being understood.

POLYTECHNIC JOURNAL.

The expediency of establishing hydraulic propul-
sion on railways is set forth in an article which re-
views Mr. Shuttleworth's statements on the subject.
The speed expected to be attained by the patentee's
plan is estimated at 27i miles per hour, and the gross
annual cost for one mile of way, conducted on this
system, is stated at 4501. Economy, safety, and speed ap•
pear to he promised by this method of propulsion. The
subject of " Gas-meters" directs the attention of con-
sumers of that article to the loss which they sustain
by being compelled, under the present rules, to burn
the gas they require by measure, and points out
the causes of the increased expense attendant on it.
" Rodway's Patent Concave Horse-shoe" appears to
be an invention amending this neglected, and, for the
most part, mal-constructed piece of equestrian furni-
ture. The new shoe, by reason of its peculiar shape,
ensures to the hoof a greater hold or purchase on the
ground; a faster tenacity to the foot, preventive of its
being thrown, and other advantages, which ought as-
suredly to cause it to supplant the common shoe in use.

UNION HALL.--(THIS DAY.)

Edward Beaslum was charged with stealing a piece
containing one dozen bandanna handkerchiefs, from the
shop of a hosier, in Newington-causeway.
The prisoner walked into the complainant's shop,
and having desired to look at some silk stocks, took an
opportunity, w hen the shopman's back was turned, of
secreting a piece of silk, containing twelve handker-
chiefs, under his coat. He was taxed with the rob-
bery, upon which he ran out of the shop, and in his
flight knocked down an old apple-woman, whom he fell
over, and before he had time to rise he was secured.
The property was found in his possession, and he was
committed.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Parliament was further prorogued by Commission,
to.llay, until Tuesday, the 13th of December.
Shortly before three o'clock, the Lord Chancellor,
the Duke of Buccleuch, end Lord Wharneliffe, entered
the House, robed as Lords Commissioners, and took
their seats below the Throne. . The Lord Chancellor
having directed the Commons to be summoned to hear
the Commission for further proroguing Parliament
read,
Mr. LEY, one Of the Clerks at the table, accom-
panied by several officers of the House of ommons,
appeared at the bar es the representatives of that
House. The Commission having been read by the
Clerk at the table,
The LOAD CHANCELLOR, in her Majesty's name,
declared the Parliament further prorogued until Tues-
day, the 13th of December next.
The representatives of the Commons then retired
from the bar, and the Lords Commissioners left the
House.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The last meeting of the Commissioners under the
bankruptcy of Messrs. Wigney, took place at Brigh-
ton on Wednesday, when some remaining debts were
proved.
A spy was convicted at Tipperary at the last
Quarter Sessions for robbing the police, to whom he
was in the habit of giving information, of a gun. He
was convicted of the felony, and the barrister, in sen-
tencing him to transportation made some just obser-
vations on the prisoner's calling, which, he said, was
not more dangerous to the innocent victims he might
have ensnared, than to justice, of which he was a
most unworthy ally.

ESCAPE or A LUNATlC.—Tuesday morning, about
seven o'clock, as police constable Henry Allen, E 59,
was on his beat in Rathbone-place, Tottenham-court-
road, he found a female, aged about 18, seated in her
night clothes on the step of a street door, and hav-
ing a pillow under her head which was resting
against the door. On questioning her, she told the
constable an extraordinary story about having been
attacked by a wolf, or some other wild beast, in a
place which she spoke of as " the castle" at Black-
burn, and said that her family were people of immense
property, and that it had cost a great deal of money
to save her life. The police constable being imme•
diately convinced of her insanity, conveyed her in a
cab to St. Pancras workhouse, where she will be pro-
perly taken care of until her friends or relatives come
forward to own her. _ _

NAVAL AND MILITARY.

The late Vice-Admiral Sir Richard Hussey, who
died on Sunday last in Huntingdonshire, ably distin-
guished himself at the capture of Port-au-Prince,
rendered considerable service at the passage of the
Dardanelles in 1807, and commanded the Montague
at the reduction of St. Maura in 1813. He served as
Sheriff of Huntingdonshire in 1839, and was subse-
quently Deputy-Lieutenant for the county.
LAW AND POLICE.

William Appleton, Edward Carrington, and James
Nicholls, were charged at Union Hall with commit-
ing a highway robbery, attended with violence, and
were committed.

argument to-day, I am informed that my Learned
Friend, Mr. Chambers, who appears on the part of
Captain Douglas, is desirous of further time.
• Mr. CIIAMBERS—I understand. that the other side
also are desirous of further time.
Lord DENMAN—If you wish for further time, that
is enough.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—We have no objection,
my Lord.
CIIAMBERS—I am anxious for further time, for
this reason—the application for a habeas was made in
a great hurry, and no motion was made with regard
to the depositions taken before the Magistrate by
by whom Captain Douglas was committed. I am
anxious to move for a certiorari to remove them into
this Court before the case comes on for argument.
.Lord DENMAN—I suppose there is no objection to
that ? -
The ATTORNEY •GENKRAL—None whatever, my
Lord. Perhaps your Lordship Will be so kind as to
fix this day week for the bearing.
Lord DEMAN —ls there not something else ap-
pointed for that day?
Mr. CLARKSON—The Solicitor-General, who is in
the case appointed for this day week, has desired me
to state to your Lordship, that this case can be taken
either before or after that case.
Lord DEN-mAN—llow can we tell how long the
case before or after that may last. It would be bet-
ter to take it some other day. In the present state
of the Crown paper, I think we may fix this for
Wednesday.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL —lf your Lordship

pleases.
Mr. CnAmnrals—There is some difficulty, my Lord,
as to the custody. If Captain Douglas continues in
military custody at Chatham, his legal advisers would
not have the same opportunities of access to him as if
he continues in custody in London.
Lord DENMAN—I do not think we can interfere in
that matter. I dare say you will have all proper faci-
lities given toyou for communicating with your client.
The case was accordinglypostponed till Wednesday.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
TIIE QUEEN V. BADGER AND CARTWRIGHT.
Mr. Justice PATTESON delivered judgment in this
case. Upon looking at the affidavits, his Lordship said,
I find that the defendants were not only quite wrong
in refusing bail on the grounds stated by them, but
from the manner in ‘Nhich they refused it, the expres-
sions they used at the time, and the circumstancesthat
they stated, they had other reasons, which they did not
choose to bring forward, though desiredto do so; and
raised such a ease as to justify the granting of a rule
calling on the Magistrates to explain their conduct.
The rule, however, murt be against the two Magis-
trates, and not against all the five, because though the
warrant of committal seems to have been signed by all
the five, Badger and Cartwright seem the only two
who refused the bail, and the other three do not "seem
to be implicated in any way in refusing bail. The
rule, therefore, must be against those two only.
