The PICTORIAL EDITION of SHAKSPERE. No. LV.

Being No. I of William Shakapere: a Biography,
BY CHARLES KNIGHT.

This new Life of Shakspere, although forming a portion of
the Pictorial Edition of his works, will occupy a volume com-
plete in itself. Although the materials of the Poet's private
biography are very few, his public career may he traced with
tolerable precision ; and by surrounding him with all the cir-
cumstances which belong to the rise, progress, and maturity of
his genius, and by displaying him in association with the social
asp, ets of his age, much that is useful for the proper under-
standing of hii writings may be connected with a general pic-
ture of one of the most temarkable eras of our History and our
Literature. The volume will be profusely illustrated by Views,
Portraits, &c , from original drawings.

HOP JINTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER, JUNE I7.—The hot weather we have had
through the present and last week has tended more to increase
the blight and vermin on the Hop plants than to diminish them.
The accounts received this morning speak of an increase of fly
and lice, and honey-dew, and that the plant is suffering much
from the latter effect, and in many places fast sinking from the
poles. We have a good demand for all kinds of celoury Hops
without advancing.
POROUGU, JUNE 16.—Our reports this morning are worse
from all the districts, with the exception of Alaidstone, which
favoured spot seems to keep almost free from the attack a fhe
fly. The Weald of Kent and Sussex is in an exceedingly bad
state, being covered with vermin and honey-dew, and as fast
as the young bearing shoots appear, the filth follows them up
so, that the plant must entirely loose it leaves before it can
get rid of the disease, and it is doubtful whether it can save
itself for another year. The fine weather keeps up the Duty

LONDON
'-;.',11-11.DAY MORNING, JUNE IS, 1842.

AU the Peers agreed last night that the Income
ta.x Bill is, as a Bill, independent of its purposes, a
uneister of deformity. The Marquis of LANsnowN
s:,oLe• of it as terrifying him by its bulk ned its
emapl,xity. Lord BaoucuAm pointed nut in it
great number of verbal imperfections and in-
con.:;:cte and even contradictory enactments. The
1.-;,:r1 a WICKLOW did the same in relation to that part
of the Bill which taxes Irish gentleman residing in
Nyhdle or in i.art in England. The Ministers had little
nothing to say in its d, fence on these points, and
it is passed into a law, branded by the law-
tiaisker:.. themselves as a huge jumble of complex
and contradictory clauses. In this we admire the ho-
rutty of the Lords quite as much as their sagacity, fet
did not need any great skill to discover the defects of
this real,wal of the hasty Act of 1806 ; but it required
in the Peers some boldness to denounce a measure to
v.hich they were about to give their sanction.
The great object which Lord BanuantAm had in view
v. to prove to their Lordships how much they suffered
iu diameter, and how much our Legislature was deteri-
orated, by the House of Commons_ refusing to allow the
House of Lords to make any alterations in a Money
Bill. His Lordship contended that the House of
Commons might preserve its peculiar privileges,
and allow the Lords to amend and correct
its hasty legislation, by separating all mere taxing
enttettnents from all executive clauses. The Income-tax
Bill, he asserted, ought to have been divided into two
Bills ; one ordaining-
the amount of the tax, and the
other *arranging. the machinery for collecting it.
Th,, former Lord BROITCHAM would not touch, the
fitter be would make perfect. Ile would, therefore,
preserve the privileges of the Commons, and give more
lezisktive powers to the Lords. The Noble Lord
bo:i ed of the capability of the house of Lords to
tua'Ae the laws consistent and proper, and, on the sat; e
groniul, eondenined tie present practice, which, in the
Moaey Bills, deprives them of the: power.
At tile same time, it is obvious t hat were ',era
thOUGRAM'S ilisti,:ction acted on, it would not place die
on an equality with the Commons. As Lord
MtiLuourtxx staid, tho Income-tax is a nmasure
Pniitspo.urt import:thee. It ;dt,,r3 the whole financial
po:1;:y of the empire. It cannot well be departed from
and must he continued. It carries with it great COM-
Lu....,reitt alo,rations; but because it is a tax, even
were Lord BROUGHAM's suggestion followed, the
Lords would not be able to alter or amend
it. They would, on his scheme, as at present,
have •no voice,, therefore, in determining the
financial policy of the empire, thOugh they'would
give theiV•assent to it, and the Act Of Parliament
eifeeting the change would purport to beienacted by the
authority of the Queen, Lords, anti Commons. To
expose this deficiency of power in the Lords, to demon-
:crate their inferiority to the House of Commons, and at the
same time to make it apparent that they must set theirseal
to all time money enactuze= which the House of Coin-

FORMING A
COMPANION TO "WILKINSON'S ANCIENT
EGYPTIANS."

This day is publisl7ed, in 2 vols. cemy Bvo. Price 1/. Bs.,
illustrated by numerous W. odcuts.
A N ACCOUNT OF THE MANNERS AND
CUSTOMS OF THE MODERN EGYPTIANS,
written in Egypt during the years 1833,34, and 35, partly from
Notes made during a former visit to that Country in the years
1825, 26, 27, and 28, by EWARD WILLIAM LANE. A New
Edition, with great additions and improvements, printed to
match " Wilkinson's Ancient Egyptians," and forming, with
that work, a complete History of that remarkable People, their
Manners and Customs, and their Past and present Condition,
"So long as Egypt remains a country, co long will Mr.
Lane's volumes be consulted as a curious and faithful picture of
its past history and existing form at the beginning of the nine-
teenth cent ury."—Literary. Gazette.
" Nothing can be more accurate than Mr. Lane's descriptions;
the English inhabitants of Cairo say that, reading them upon

Tile PICTORIAL EDITION of SHAKSPERE, No. LV,
Being No. 1 of William Shaksnere : a Biography,
BY CHARLES KNIGHT.
This new Life of Shakspere, although forming a portion of
th? Pictorial Edition of his works, will occupy a volume corn-
p'ete in itself. Although the materials of the Poet's titivate
biography are very few, his public career may be traced with
tolerable precision ; and by surroundieg him with all the cir-
cumstaaces which belong to the rise, progress, and maturity of
his genius, and by displaying Lim in association with the social
aspects of his age, much that is useful for the proper under-
standing of his writings may be connected with a general pic-
ture of one of the most remarkable eras of our History and our
Literature. The volume will be profusely illustrated by Views,
Portraits, ti.e.' (ruin original drawings.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

We regret to announce the death of Count Matuschewitz,
which took place at St. Petersburgh only a few days since.
Count Matuschewitz was a universal favourite in England,
where his brilliant serial qualities and amiability secured him
many friends, who deeply deplore his premature death. Russia
has sustained a great loss by this event, fur the rare diplomatic
talents, general information, incomparable power of reduction,
and profound knowledge of European policy; ' ren-
dered him the most useful servant to the Emperor, while
they excited the envy and jealousy of all competitors. Count
Matuschewitz was a Pole by birth ; educated in Paris at thu
Trytanee during the Empire, he was crowned by Napoleon wit
the laurel accorded to the grand Prize of Honour.
To Count Nesselrode is due the merit of having applied those
transcendant talents to the service of Russia. It has been
more than surmised that the diminution of Imperial favour at
St. Petersburgh experienced by Count Matusehewitz owed its
origin to the jealousy and intrigues occasioned by his well-
known partiality to England. When sent to Sweden as Minis-
tee, a position which to a man so high i . n his profession could
only be looked on as an honourable exile, he turned this in-
tended slight to an occasion for fresh triumph, by writing one
of the most able reports on the actual state of
health,S we Sweden
theytl that
ever
was penned.
Count Matuschewitz. visited this country last winter, where
he was welcomed and feted by his friends, and when recalled to
.
Russia two months ago, thongh delicate
anticipated that they should ace him no more.

Curran, when addressing a Jury on one occasion,
observed the effect produced on their minds by the ominous
shake of the head which the Judge gave at the conclusion of
most of his sentences. At once to relieve them and 'rebuke
his Lordship, Curran, with inimitable wit, remarked, " Gentle-
men of the Jury, his Lordship shakes his head, but yen need
tdce no notice whatever of it, for I can assure you there is
nothing in it."

The object of this Society is to afford to the Assured all the
benefits of Life Assurance at a great reduction in the sates of
premium, and also some further advantages peculiar to this In-
stitution, with the guarantee of a numerous and opulent pi o-
prietary, and a subscribed capital of 500,0001.
To accomplish this important result, there are two plans for
assurance—by the first (Table 1) the rates of premium are re-
duced to the lowest scale compatible with the safety and sta-
bility of the Society, thereby in effect giving to the assured an
immediate and certain bonus.

The Second Plan (Table 2) is to meet the views and in.
terests of persons who, in snaking a provision for their families,
wish to participate in the periodical division of profits by the
payment of a lower rate of premium than has hitherto been
charged by bonus offices, viz.:—

For the convenience of those who assure upon this Table,
one-half the premium may remain unpaid for the first seven
years, at an interest of 5 per cent., which may continue to the
death of the party, or be paid off at his convenience, or with :he
sum assured be discontinued without any claim from the office.
To professional men and others whose incomes are progressive,
and in loan transactions where the debt is gradually reduced,
this principle of charging one-half the premium for the first
seven years will be found to be particularly advantageous to the
Assured.

Aseuranees may be effected every day with the least possible
trouble to the party.
Prospectuses, with every information, may be had at the

UNN'S FINE ARGAND LAMP OIL.
-ALF The excessively high price of Sperm Oil is fast causing
the elegant Table and other Lamps, made on the Argand prin-
ciple, to be lad aside. The ARGAND LAMP OIL is con-
fidently offered to the public as a substitute for Sperm Oil, it
burns with a clear bright flame, without smoke or smell, does
not obstruct the tubes of the lamps more than the best Sperm
Oil, with the advantage that it does not chill with the co'd ;
it consumes much -slower than Sperm or other Oils, conse-
quently is little more than one-third the expense of Sperm Oil,
and for Solar Lamps has been proved, •by exrerience, to be
cheaper than common Oil, without the offensive smell.
Half a gallon, or upwards will be sent to any. part of Town,
as a trial of the advantage and economy of using the Argand
Lamp Oil.
Sold by. John Dunn, Oil acid Italian Warehouse, 59, Cannon-.
street, City. Cash price, ss. 6d per gallon.

tion, is to be had only at the above Warchouse.
