UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.
DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.
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 21. 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 scales
and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the
Insurance is for life.
The amount of bunus added to policies since the commence-
ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December
1840, is as follows :
Sum Assured. Time Assured. Sums added to Policy.
£l,OOO 6 Years 10 Months £136 13 4

ADVANTAGES OF THE ARGUS LIFE ASSURANCE
CON.
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 £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.
The 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 Holder
an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the
deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division
of Profits.

BRUSSELS, • DEC. B.—A letter from Bruges, of the
sth, says—" This morning, between two and three
o'clock, during a thick fog, the fine Belgian steamer,
the Antwerpen,Captain Jackson, coming from London,
and hound for Antwerp, ran aground a league and a
half to the west of Blankenburge ; it had thirty pas-
sengers and a cargo of merchandise. From an early
hour in the morning cries were heard, but the fog
was so thick that it could not be ascertained precisely
where the vessel was. At noon it was perceived from
the coast to be a steamer. A fishing-boat from Blan-
kenburge rendered important assistance to Captain
Jackson. After taking on board the anchors and
chains, to lighten the vessel, it greatly contributed to
relieve it from its dangerous situation. The Ant-
werpen could not be removed till high water.
CONTINUED DEPRESSION IN THE IRON TRADE.—
Notwithstanding the cheering news which has recently
arrived from India, and which appears to have a
good effect in raising the droopingspirits of themanu-
facturers in the north, we regret to be not enabled to
report a corresponding improvement in the prospects
of the important and almost staple commodity of iron.
—Cambrian.

" The memorialists desire again to express their
anxiety that their present appeal, and the measures
they have felt themselves obliged to adopt, may not
be misunderstood. The deliberate conviction to which
they have come—that if they cannot have liberty to
maintain and act upon the principles which they have
avowed, in the position of a church established by
the State, they must relinquish that position, is not
the result of disappointment or irritation, or any want
of a due regard to the important benefits which the
present establishment of the Church confers upon the
people of Scotland. On the contrary,'such is their
sense of the value of that establishment, such their
apprehension of the many evils likely to result from
its disruption or overthrow, and such, also, their anx-
iety to remain in the discharge of their spiritual duties, 1
in the preaching of the Gospel, and the oversight of
their parishes, under the shade of that national pro-
tection and favour, which was the happy fruit of the
prayers, the labours, and the sufferings of their fa-
thers, that they have been willing to make the -ut-
most possible concessions with a view to the restora-
tion of harmony; and, were not the principles at issue
vital and fundamental, there is no compromise to
which they would not consent, no sacrifice of feeling
or even of consistency to which they would not sub-
mit, if by any means they might avert a calamity, the
very idea of which they have all along been most re-
luctant to entertain.

" But they feel that the time is 'ome when the final
determination of this question can be postponed no
longer, and as they cannot disguise from themselves,
so neither would they deem it right to conceal from
the Government and the country, the inevitable result
of a continued refusal, on the part of the Legislature,
of that indispensable measure of relief which they
think they have a good right to ask, and good
reason to expect. Their situation, in truth,, is
most painful and embarrassing. They cannot con-
duct the affairs of the Church in the manner in
which the civil courts have prescribed ; they could
not themselves remain in the ,-,mmiinion of a Church
which should agree to regulate her procedure accord-
ing to the principles now held to be involved in the
civil law; nor can they allow others, in the same com-
munion, to do so. But it is well known that a large
minority of the Church's office-bearers are prepared,
in obedience to the civil courts, to cast off her autho •
rity ; and were the Church, while continuing to
claim the advantages secured to her by law, to perse-
vere, as she must in principle do, in maintaining her
discipline over all who, under whatever civil sanction
or compulsion, transgress her orders and violate her
laws, founded, as she believes, on the word of God,
not only would she be exposed to grievous obloquy
and reproach, but a spectacle both painful and scan-
dalous must in all probability be exhibited of two sec-
tions of the same Church striving with one another
in the use of civil pains on the one hand and spiri-
tual censures on the other. Hitherto, notwithstand-
ing the allegations of her enemies to the contrary,
the Church has never felt herself compelled to in-
flict the severities of her discipline on any of her
ministers or members for an act done under the
compulsion of her civil courts, or in obedience to
what has been declared to be the civil law. She has
proceeded against none, excepting the few individuals
who of their own accord, and without any plea of
necessity, have placed themselves in a position of
defiance of authority. Even this, however, has
led to unseemly consequences; and after the final
decision of the Supreme Civil Court, affirming the
principles upon which not a few of her office-bearers
have intimated their determination to act, it is plain
that if no legislative relief be conceded, and if the
Church proceed, according to her own views of duty,
against those who transgress her rules, she has no
alternative but to deal forth the censures of ecclesias-
tical power, in a manner that must provoke retalia-
tion, and must necessarily lead to inextricable confu-
sion and disorder. The memorialists are not ashamed
to confess that they shrink from such an exhibition as
would thus be presented before the people of Scot-
land ; and this is one practical consideration, among
others, which has weighed much in determining them
to bring this whole question to a final issue, and to
retire from their position, as connected with the es-
tablishment, rather than prolong an unseemly contest
with the civil courts, which deny, and with their own
brethren, who set at nought, their jurisdiction—a
contest which could not fail to be attended with most
disastrous consequences, affecting both the majesty of
law and the higher interests of religion.
"But the memorialists have stated other grounds
on which chiefly they rest their determination, as
matter of Christian duty and sound principle. It has
been with extreme pain that they have felt themselves
compelled to oppose the civil courts in any of the
decisions which they have pronounced. They have
done so only because their consciences required it,
and because they considered that the constitution of
the Church, as established by law, sanctioned and au-
thorised the measures which they adopted. They are
still most decidedly of the same opinion. But as they
claim for the Church no right of resistance" to the
civil magistrate, in the exercise of his authority, as
determining the terms on which he will establish the
Church, so they feel that if the Government and
Legislature of the country do not interfere for their
relief from the condition to which they are now re-
duced by the Supreme Civil Court—viz. the condi-
tion of subjection in things spiritual) to civil control
—it is not for them, as servants of that LORD whose
kingdom is not of this world, to vindicate the consti-
tution further ; they can only protest, with all solem-
nity, against the wrong which they believe the Church
has sustained, and leave with the rulers of this nation,
and with the nation itself, the responsibility of allow-
ing this national institution of the Established Church
of Scotland to be subverted and overthrown.
"In conclusion, the memorialists beg leave very
respectfully to remind her Majesty's Government of
the obligation under which States andltheir rulers lie
to Him by whom kings reign and princes decree jus-
tice—whose cause they are bound to espouse, and
whose Church it is alike their interest and their duty
to support in all the freedom with which he has en-
dowed it. The memorialists deeply feel the solemnity
of the question now submitted to the decision of Par-
liament and of the nation ; it being, in the opinion of
the memorialists, nothing less than the question
whether the Church unalterably established in Scot-
land is to be preserved inviolate, according to the
faith of treaties, or whether this great kingdom is to
commit, as the memorialists would regard it, the
heinous national offence of not only breaking the na-
tional faith, but of disowning the'authority of Christ
in his own house, and refusing to recognise his Church
as a free spiritual society, instituted by Him, and go-
verned by his laws alone.
" The memorialists now leave the whole subject in
the hands of her Majesty's Government, uniting in
most earnest prayers to Almighty God that He may
direct the counsels of her Majesty to that conclusion
which shall most conduce to the good of the country,
and to His own glory.

assembled ministers,

CINARGES AGAINST ALDERMAN WOOD.--The Corn-

of Aldermen met again en Saturday, to pur-

the Chairman warmly denied that any one had made

any charge, or that Mr. Alderan Wood had a right
to ask the reason of each man's vote. As no Alder-
man would assume the post of accuser, and Mr. Alder-
man Wood refused to accuse himself, the Chairman
proposed to apply to the Court of Aldermen for fresh
instructions. Sir Peter Laurie proposed to accept the
offer in the letter of the affidavits. Mr. Alderman
Wood did not see how he could do this, if there was
no charge. None were so closely looked after as soli-
citors. Merchants and others could commit nefarious
acts, and indulge in fraudulent speculations, with im-
punity. Sir Peter Laurie said, if he was Alderman
Wood, he would not stand for forms, but go at once
into the matter, and sell the coat off his back to
trounce the traducers. He moved that the papers be
received. This was, after some discussion, agreed to,
and the papers were ordered to be printed.

TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
ADMIRALTY, DEC. 12.
The following missing dispatch, from Vice-Admiral
Sir William Parker, addressed to the Secretary of the
Admiralty, has now been received :
Cornwallis, at Chapoo, May 23, 1842.
Sir,—My letter of the 11th instant, No. 84, will have
apprised the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty of
the evacuation of the city of Ningpo on the 7th, and
that the troops were embarked in the transports off the
island of Just-in-the-Way, with the intention of com-
mencing the prospective operations of the combined
forces by an attack on Chapoo, where it was . scertained
that a large Chinese force, and a considerable store of
arms awl provisions, had been for some weeks collecting.
The fleet reached an anchorage between the Sesham
and Fog islands on the evening of the 13th of May ; but
the unfavourable state of the weather, and the velocity of
the tides (luring the springs within the entrance of Hang-
choo-foo bay, did not admit of any further movement
until the 16th, when a very satisfactory reconnaissance
was made of the defences of Chapoo in tha Phlegethon
and Nemesis steam-vessels ; and on the following after-
noon the ships of war, named in the margin,* and the
transports were all anchored in Chapoo bay, in con-
venient positions for the disembarkation of the troops,
which commenced at daylight on the 18th, in a sandy
bay, within two miles of the city, and at the eastern
termination of a range of heights which flanked the field
works and strong positions held by the Chinese outside it.
Commanders Kellett and Collinson, who have been
indefatigable in surveying every part we have had to
navigate, succeeded during the night in thoroughly
sounding between the anchorage of the ships and the
shore, which enabled the Cornwallis, Blonde, and Mo-
deste, while the troops were landing, to take up excellent
positions against the sea batteries, consisting of two works
mounting seven and five guns, about one-third of the way
up a steep hill at the eastern extremity of the suburbs, and
crowned with a joss house, occupied by a large body of
men, and three other masked batteries, mounting thirty
guns, in front of the suburbs, making a total of forty-
two guns of different calibre ; the whole were thronged
with Chinese soldiers, who also lined their defences on
the heights to a considerable extent with matchlockmen
and numerous gingalls.
Against these field-works the Sesostris was anchored
for the purpose of dispersing them with shells, as our
troops advanced ; and the inhabitants of the suburbs and
city were duly warned to retire eut of the line of our fire.
By the exertions of the Nemesis, Phlegethon, and
Queen steamers, and the boats of the covering vessels,
Starling, Columbine, Bentinck, and Algerine, together
with those of the transports conducted by Lieutenant
Somerville, the troops were all put on shore in admirable
order, under the able direction of Commander Charles
Richards, of the Cornwallis, by nine o'clock, when the
General, with his accustomed energy, immediately
pushed forward at their head ; the ships, by a pre-
concerted signal, opened their fire at the same time
on the batteries. A few shot, however, put the men
stationed in them, and at the joss house on the
summit of the hill opposite to us, to a precipitate flight,
and. not a moment was lost in landing the seamen and
marines of the squadron under Captain Bourchier, of the
Blonde, and the officers named in the accompanying list,
who got possession of the batteries before the mines,
which were prepared in them, could be sprung ; and,
having succeeded in cutting off several of the Chinese
troops that were endeavouring to reach the suburbs,
joined our land forces in their approach to the city. By
the General's rapid advance, in two columns, they had
already gallantly carried all the positions on the heights,
and, the retreating parties being intercepted in every
direction, the Chinese suffered very severely ; but a
body of several hundred Tartar troops, having thrown
themselves into a large joss house between the heights and
the city, resisted with such desperation that they were not
subdued until the building fell in ruins over them, and
not more than fifty men were brought out alive ; nor
was this, I regret to add, effected without considerable
loss to the combined forces, who have to lament the
Gallant Lieutenant-Colonel Tomlinson, of the 18th
Royal Irish, and several men killed ; and Lieutenant-
Colonel Mountain (the Deputy-Adjutant General) and
many other brave officers and men severely wounded.
The loss of the Chinese cannot be accurately ascer-
tained, but from various accounts their force was not
less than from eight to ten thousand men, of whom one
fourth are supposed to have been Tartar troops, many
hundreds have been slain or wounded, and several
officers and men made prisoners ; the latter will, how-
ever, be released before our departure.
It is with sincere pleasure that I have again to bring
under their Lordships' notice the spirited and valuable
services of Captains Bourchier and P. Richards, and the
several Commanders, Officers, and men of all ranks of
the navy and royal marines of her Majesty's squadron,
and the Indian navy, under my command on this occa-
sion ; the whole of whom are jastly entitled to my best
thanks and commendation.
Commander Watson, of the Modeste, having been sent
forward with his division by Captain Bourchier on first
landing, was able to reach the advanced party of the
troops in time to assist them, in boats across a canal, to
enter the city ; and Sir Hugh Gough has expressed him-
self much pleased with his exertions on this and all occa-
sions in which his services have been connected with the
army.
Lieut. Wm. H. Maitland, commanding the Algerine,
and Lieut. Bate (additional) attached to the Bentinck,
after assisting in landing the troops, accompanied them
on their advance, during which two officers (or inferior
Mandarins) fell in single conflict by the hands of the former,
who bids fair to rival the gallantry of his lamented uncle,
that bright ornament of our profession, the late Sir Fre-
derick Maitland ; and Lieutenant Bate, by his spirited
exertions, succeeded in making prisoner a Chinese offi-
cer, holding the rank of Colonel.
The city was escaladed, and occupied with very little
resistance ; and a large quantity of arms, of every de-
scription, gunpowder, and provisions, have been found
and destroyed, together with the guns in the batteries
and arsenals, with the exception of eleven of brass, which
have been embarked.
A list is enclosed of the ordnance which has been
found.

The steadiness and good conduct of the combined
forces has been most satisfactory, but the plunder and
devastation committed by the natives from the moment
of our entering the city, has, perhaps, exceeded that
of any place we have yet visited ; nor can the Tartar
portion of the population divest themselves of the appre-
hension of being massacred, under which unfortunate
impression, many, after destroying their infant children,
have committed suicide.
I inclose, with concern, a list of two killed and four
wounded in the squadron, the latter, I am happy to say,
are doing well ; but I fear the casualties in the army
amount to nine killed, and fifty-two wounded, many of
them severely.—l have, &c.,
