This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most
perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since Its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL
INCOME being UPWARDS of 72,0001.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per
annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they were effected.
The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1834, to December 31,
1840, is as follows :

The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first Five Years, where the Insur-
ance is for Life.

Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., of No. 28,

QILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive

planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
A LBATA PLATE.
C. WATSON, 41 and 42, Barbican, and 16, Norton Folgate, aided by
a person of Science in the amalgamation of Metals, has succeeded in
bringing to Public Notice the most beautiful Article ever yet offered ;
Possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance, with all its dura-
bility and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in use, undergoing, as
it does, a Chemical Process, by which, all that is nauseous in mixed
Metals is entirely extracted—resisting all Acids—may be cleaned as
silver, and is manufactured into every Article for the Table and
Sideboard:—

C. WATSON begs the Public will understand that this Metal is
peculiarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold
than kis metal is from all others—on its intrinsic merit alone he
wishes it to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogiums be re•
ceives, he is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an
article of universal wear.
C. Watson's handsomely Illustrated Catalogue and Price Currant
is just published, and Families who regard economy and elegance
should possess themselves of this useful Book, which may be had

PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIIITE LAMPS.
The perfection of these Lamps over the Vesta has been
happily attained by the invention of two parallel flat rings—a larger
And a smaller forming a cone round the margin of the wick, which
cause a rapid reverberation of air against the flame—thus condensing
every particle of volatilized vapour, it is free from smoke or smell,
having perfect combustion, and in MR action, emits a light equal to
16 wax candles.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE
ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the breeding of
the Llama, from which a very fine wool is obtained. The Cloth
made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some
curiosity has been raised by the announcement of the registry of a
coat under the new Act, by Messrs. NICOLL, of REGENT-STREET,
TAILORS to the COURT, it may be marked that such was made of
this material. The coat itself is termed the REGISTERED
PALETO r, and in its appearance there Is nothing very singular,
beyond a very gentlemanly neatness, and an absence of all unsightly
vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court it met with high lippro-
bation.—Morning Post, April 19.
Amongst the registration of designs according to the new Act, that
of a coat is to be found. The notion of securing the particular sub-
stance and cut of a coat is certainly a new one, but it speaks well for
the working of an Act which thus secures the profit of a good
judgment and well-directed ingenuity to those to whom alone it is
due.—The Times, April 4.
The REGISTERED PALETOT, Two Guineas. 114, Regent-
street, London.

GOVERNMENT PROTECTION, under 6 and
7 Vic. cap. 65, for three years, obtained by H. J. and D.
NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, REGENT-STREET, I ondon,
for their new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is
a summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and
comfort of the wrapper of tweed and its moderate price, without its
inelegant and universally-admitted common appearance. The ma-
terial is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama
Wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige nor trop habille, but
whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it cannot
encnmber free movement, worn riding or walking: it will also, from
the neatness of its form, adMit of Its being used as a light Frock Coat
—a desirable advantage in our warmest summer months, or abroad
where heat is found oppressive.
H. J. and D. NICOLL, sensitive to the importance of that vade-
mecum—a moderately-light overcoat in a climate so changeable as
that of Great Britain—would not submit to the public the Registered
Paletot till themselves were satisfied of its being perfect, and that
when used as a pardessus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the
above firm might pledge a reputation, which, gained by matured skill
and honoured by royal patronage, is of some standing. This they can
do with safety, as their new introdu tion, they respectfully submit,
will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman—
the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale is
sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed.
Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an agency
for the sale of the Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount can
be allowed. There being a large and increasing demand, many are
kept ready in the. extensive Warerooms, 114, REGENT-STREET.

WORKING MEN, beware of those who offer you clothing at what
appears to be very low prices. Before you purchase- from them
reflect a little on the moral consequ, aces of the act, and let the fol-
lowing facts assist you in your reflections :
Very cheap cloth is made chiefly from old woollen rags torn up
and re-manufactured.
Low-priced, but rotten, clothes, are made from this cloth, by un-
fortunate men and women, who receive for their labour a most
wretched pittance
The advantages of this fraud and oppression are entirely absorbed
by the men who practise it—hence rapid fortunes and palace-like
premises.
Are you working men inclined to be the encouragers and the dupes
of such dealing?

no attention to the puffs, whether in prose or doggrel, that

To think upon the changes which It caus'd.
And many a tedious mile would thousands amp,
To be posscss'd of an "Aladdin's Lamp."
But what's " Aladdin's Lamp" to do with MOSES?
Why, you shall hear before the subject closes.
This wond'rous "Lamp" could not perform a par
Half so surprising as the " Wond'rous Mart."
The instantaneous transformations here,
Are all the conversation far and near.
When once a suit of MOSES' clothes you're clad in,
A change is wrought as if by fam'd "Aladdin."
The purchasers from MOSES well-stor'd shelves.
So chang'd become they scarcely know themselves.

The brightest " Lamp" amid the sphere of trade.
Let those who wish to put it to the test,

To rind the rival for "Aladdin's Lamp."

ANTI-MAYN 00 Tll CONFERENCE.

The meeting held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, to protest
ac inst the Maynooth grant, which we brittly noticed yesterday,
was composed of persons delegated by congregations of various re.
ligious denominations throughout the empire, the great majority
being from Dissenting bodies.
At ten o'clock Sir Culling Eardley Smith was called to the
chair.

The CHAIRMAN suggested that the proceedings should be opened
with a prayer, such as should be appropriate to the very impor-
tant and extraordinary circumstances under which they had as-
sembled. _ .

The Rev. Dr. HottowaY, in accordance with the desire of the
Chairman, offered up a prayer, in which he was joined by the
meeting.

The prayer having concluded,
The CIIAIRMLN again rose and said, that they had met on that
occasion to discharge their duties as Christians, and to avail them-
selves of their rights as Englishmen.—(Hear, hear.) In his
opinion a great insult had been offered to that religion which, he
thanked God, notwithstanding minor differences, they all held in
common.—(Cheers.) They had reason to be grateful that they
lived in a land of freedom, where they could meet together and
devise measures for attaining the object they had in view, or failing
in that, to consider what remedy they would resort to;
to that object —the devising of plans by which the en-
dowment of Popery might be prevented—the proceedings
of that day would be mainly devoted.—(Cheers.) It was not
necessary for them to go at length into the question itself,
upon which they were all agreed.—(Cheers.) They had less
to do with the arguments in favour of Maynooth than with the
duties which devolved upon them in consequence of the decisions
which had recently been arrived at in the House of Commons.—
(Hear, hear.) He felt that it would be impossible to avoid alto-
gether any discussion of the question itself, which involved 'opics
of very great delicacy ; but it was important that they should
stand a united phalanx together. In contending against the
endowment of Popery, in the name of their common Saviour, lie
hoped that they would not, on this occasion, go into the question
of religious establishments, as on this occasion neither the church-
man nor the advocate of the voluntary system could be suspected
of departing from his own religious or conscientious grounds in
opposing the, endowment of Mayneoth.—(Hear.) The question
which they had now to consider was—whether their country was to
be dishonoured by the recognition of Popery ?—(Cheers)—and to
that question he should beg them to confine themselves. Sir Robert
Peel stated that, in consequence of certain circulars which had been
sent from London to the country, he did not regard the opposition
which had been expressed to this subject of as much importance
as he might under other circnmstances, and it was, therefore,
the more necessary for them to meet on that day—(Cheers)—in
order that they might remove all doubts from the Premier's mind
with regard to this question. The Chairman then called the
attention of the meeting to the following correspondence between
the Anti. Maynooth Committee and the Premier :
" Central Anti-Maynooth Committee.

" Sir Culling Eardley Smith presents his compliments to Sir
Robert Peel, and begs, at the request of this Committee, to state
that deputations from various parts of the country on the subject
of the endowment of hfaynooth are expected to arrive in London
on Wednesday next. Some members of the deputation will be
glad to have the honour of an interview with Sir Robert Peel on
Thursday, if that day should be convenient, its which case Sir C.
Smith would be obliged by Sir Robert fixing an hour when it will
be in his power to receive them.
" The Right Hon. Sir R. Peel."

LOSS OF THE SKYLARK.
PORTSMOUTH, NN .!EDNESDAY.
The following particulars relating to the wreck of her
Majesty's brig Skylark may be relied on as authentic,
being an extract from the private letter of an eye-
witness:—
" The Skylark, 2, Lieutenant-Commander George
Morris (1823), sailed from Plymouth on Thursday,
April 24, with 68 supernumeraries on board for Ports-
mouth, which, together with her own crew, made about
110 men. She passed the Portland Lights on the morn-
ing of the 25th early: it soon after became very foggy.
At a few minutes after 10 o'clock, when the ship was
going about 4A- knots, with topgallant sails set, she
struck ; attempts were immediately made to put her
about, but being between two ledges of rock she again
struck, and would not go about. Attempts were then
made to back her off, the hands were turned up, and
every precaution and exertion used ; all, however, was
ineffectual. About 11 o'clock, A.M., the fog cleared off a
little, and the ship was found to be within hail of the
shore, and the people on board the brig could hear
voices from the cliffs calling to them that a boat was
coming to their assistance from the Coast-guard station.
One of the guns was then hove overboard, and an
anchor dropped with a halser to it, to lighten her and
haul her off; at this time the water started ; the hands
were immediately set to work at the pumps, and the
boats were got out, but the tide, being on the ebb, soon
left her with two fe t of water under her bows and three-
quarters of a fathom in the channels ; aft there was a
greater depth. She had run ashore on Coalpit Ledge,
near Kimberage, a short distance to the eastward of the
tower which stands on the eastward point of Yellow-
bay. There was not much wind blowing at the time,
but a tremendous surf setting in shore. The coast-guard
boat above-named was nearing the brig under the
guidance of Lieutenant Smith, when the brig's second
gig (which had been got out to communicate with the
shore), in which, besides the boat's crew, was the com-
mander's son, a boy 11 years old, upset. Master Morris
sank several times, and was on the point of sinking to
rise no more alive, when one of the crew of the coast-
guard boat, named Crawley, swam out to him and sup-
ported him until Lieutenant Smith, of the Coast Guard,
at the imminent risk of his own life, rushed in, and
saved them all, and returned to the bay with them. The
brig's cutter was then hoisted out, and filled with men,
after immense difficulty, who were safely landed on the
shore of the bay. Lieutenant Smith, having landed the
commander's son and the boat's crew, returned, and
went as near the brig as the breakers would admit, and
put one of his men in the Skylark's dingy,' who
directed two boys who were in her to put her alOngside
the lee quarter of the brig. They did so, and took
in six men, and put them on board the Coast-guard
boat ; but Lieutenant Smith, observing the aek ward-
!less of the boys in the dingy, put two more of his men
in her, who went to and from the stranded brig in
a most dexterous and intrepid manner, bringing each
time as many of the brig's crew as the dingy could safely
hold, and placing them on board the coast-guard vessel,
until it was full, when it pulled away with them fur the
b. ay. The tide having gone down, at,d the surf decreased
in violence, the dingy was enabled to land her men on
the ledge, which was but a stone's throw from the brig's
bows, until nearly all were landed. A boat, the Bee, of
Weymouth, then came alongside and took the rest of
the crew and the master out. Commander Morris,
having the gout in one of his legs, and having used
almost superhuman exertions to save his ship, was
quite exhausted when the last boat went alongside ;
so far, indeed, was his strength prostrated, that he
was incapable of getting into the boat to save him-
self, and was thrown overboard, and picked up by
the first gig. Lieutenant Smith had returned in the
meantime, and advised the officers to send the cutter off
to the wreck to endeavour to get some sails and spays
wherewith to make tents for the men, as the tower was
not large enough for them all to sleep in and also to
save as much from the wreck as possible, as it
appeared most probable she would go entirely
to pieces when the tide flowed, and offered
to assist with his men and boat, which was
thankfully accepted. Accordingly, every exertion
was immediately used, and a great quantity of
the sails, spars, provisions, and some of the others' pro-
perty was got ashore. Commander Granby arrived from-
Swanage-bay in his tender, the Gertrude, in the after-
part of the day (having received information by express,
from Lieutenant Smith respecting the wreck of the Sky-
lark), and immediately took his boat to the brig and
rendered all the assistance in his power. By 10 o'clock
at night, the wind still blowing fresh, the Gertrude had
a great quantity of stores, arms, and some of the officers'
goods on board, with which she get underweigh, and,
after considerable danger and difficulty,. cleared the
ledges and safely got into Swanage Bay with them by
12 o'clock at night."

Harding, of Grahtliam ; Rev. Pachlon, of High Wycombe;
Rev. -- Cottle, of Taunton ; Rev. Moore and Rev. Berry,
of Truro, successively addressed the meeting, and each, on the
part of congregations of various denominations in the respect:l
localities, zealously concurred in the object of the conference.
The Rev. .1. T. Roarisox, Rector of St. Andrew,, Holborn, in
giving similar testimony on the part of his parishioners, stated
that the charge made by the Archdeacon of London, at the visita-
ticn on Tuesday, was emphatically and solely directed against the
proposition of the Government; and further, that an address to
the Archbishop of Canterbury was in successful progress among the
clergy of London, calling upon his Grace and the bench of Bishops
to oppose the Bill.
The CHAIRMAN stated that he had reason to believe that the
Right Reverend Bench would make a strong stand against the
measure; the Bishops of Exeter, Lincoln, Chester, Winchester,
Ripon, and Cashel, had already most distinctly declared against it.
The Rev. ATMOOD, from Newark, said that such was the
feeling in the locality he represented against the measure, that their
right honourable misrepresentative need not trouble himself to
come down among them again to solicit their toes, for he most
assuredly would not obtain them.
The meeting adjourned at ten o'clock.

OPENING OF HUNGER FORD AND
LAMBETH SUSPENSION FOOT-BRIDGE.

Pursuant to public, notice this bridge was opened to the public
at twelve o'clock yesterday. Long before that hour immense
crowds of people were assembled at the approaches on both
sides of the river, anticipating the usual formalities
that accompany such an interesting event ; but they were
doomed to be disappointed, for with the exception of a display of
flags, there was no ceremony of any kind on the occasion. The
to:I is one halfpenny each person, and the arrangements for re.
coiving it are similar to those at Waterloo-bridge.
It stands much higher above the water than any of the other
bridges, and its light and airy appearance presents a very marked
contrast to the solid and massive structure a little lower down, of
which it threatens to be a formidable rival. In consequence of
the wind being rather high, there was a gentle swinging
about the centre, that resembled the motion of a vessel
in rough water, but it was not so great as to cause any
inconvenience to passengers. Judgin....; from the immense crowds
of people that were continually passing to and fro, its strength and
powers
of tension will never again be subjected to a greater strain,
at least by foot passengers. The police were in attendance, to
preserve order.
