As an Indemnity to the Asured, a Deed of Settlement has been
executed, whereby Property, producing upwards of Five Thou-
sond Pounds per Annum has been secured to Trustees for the
fulfilment of all engagements entered into at this Office.
The peculiar advantages offered over those of similar Institutions
are, amongst others—
TO ASSURE FROM LOSS BT FIRE EVERT DESCRIPTION
OF HOUSE, CHARITABLE, and CHURCH PROPERTY, Farm-
ing Stock, Goods, &c., at a considerable reduction from the charges
usually made.
TO ASSURE THE LIVES OF INDIVIDUALS OF ALL AGES
the payment of the principal sum to ho made EITHER ON THE
DEATH OF THE ASSURED, OR ON A FIXED DAY, IF HE
BE THEN LIVING.

This Railway will establish a most desirable line of communication
between Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and Bristol, traversing in its course
many wealthy, populous, and important districts.
It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton
Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From
thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to
Yeovil. By means of it and of the intended line between Bath
and Salisbury (now in Parliament) the connexion between Dover
and Bristol and the East and West Coasts of England will be
oomplete.
A further and most important feature of the undertaking is, that
by the aid of the South Western Railway, it will bring Salisbury and
Yeovil into an entirely direct line of communication with the Me-
tropolis. The distance from London to Salisbury will be about 80
miles, and to Yeovil 120 miles.
It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ;
viz., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at
the same time will bring into direct communication with each other
the ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bris-
tol, a most desirable object in a national point of view.
A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that
an immense traffic must flow to the line, and that, in fact, no other
Railway in the kingdom will form a medium of communication with
a greater aggregate of wealthy, populous, and Important places.
By it, Salisbury, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Bradford, Trowbridge,
Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, Whitchurch, Andover,
Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port, Stal-
bridge, and Ilchester, with the numerous smaller towns and villages
in their vicinity, will be brought int* immediate connexion with each
other, rendering the undertaking eminently calculated to promote the
convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its
proprietors.
The country to be traversed will, as has been ascertained from ac-
tual surveys, admit of the construction of the Railway at a moderate
cost. The portions yet to be formed will comprise the country be-
tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 76 miles (less about 11 miles
proposed to be used of the South Western Railway), and that between
Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, :making the entire length of the
line yet to be constructed not more than 105 miles.
Applications to be made for Shares to the Provisional Committee ;
or to Lewis Crombie, Esq., Secretary, at the Company's Of ices 63,

DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED.

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

ance is for Life.

HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM.

Persons assured according to these rates are allowed credit (with-
out security) for half the amount of the first seven annual premiums,
paying interest thereon at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, with the
option of paying off the principal at any time, or having the amount
deducted from the sum assured when the policy becomes a claim.
Policies may thus be effected at lower rates than are generally re-
quired for the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have the
same security for the payment of their claims, whenever death may
happen, as if they paid double the amount of premium, which would
be charged for assurances effected in the us lalway.

THE. O'DO.NOGHUE. By HARRY LOR.RE

QUER.

No. 2.

The number of Captain Lever's new work for the
present month is not so full of incident as the one
which has preceded it; nevertheless, it will be read
with no small degree of interest and amusement, par-
ticularly the scene between poor old Sir Archy and
the Beggars, in which that good old gentleman be-
trays no inconsiderable degree of astonishment at the
sight he beheld, and want of temper at the cool impu-
dent wit, indulged in at his expense in the following
dialogue :
" They were all busily engaged in stowing away the
provender of various sorts and kinds, as luck, or the
preference of the cook, decided, laughing or grumbling
over their portions, as it might be, when Sir Archibald
M'Nab hurriedly presented himself in the midst of
them—an appearance which seemed to create no pecu-
liar satisfaction, if one were to judge from the increased
alacrity of their movements, and the evident desire they
exhibited to move off.

" The O'Donoghue laughed as he witnessed the dis
comfiture of the ragged mob, and let down the window
sash to watch the scene.

" "Tis going we are; God be good to us!'
" Ye needn t be cursing that way,' said an old hag,
with a sack on her back, largo enough to contain a
child.

"Mr. Roberts deserves credit for the diligence with which he has
sought for original documents, many of which throw important light
on the period."—Athemeum.

" Eyah! the Lord look down on the poor,' said a
little fat fellow, with a flannel night-cap and stockings
without any feet; ' there's no pity now at all, at all.'
" The heavens be your bed, any way,' said a hard-
featured little woman, with an accent that gave the bless-
ing a very different signification from the mere words.
" Blessed Joseph! sure it isn't robbers and thieves
we are, that ye need hunt us out of the place.'
" Such were the exclamations on every side, inter-
mingled with an undergrowl of tke Scotch naygue—
the ould scrape-gut,' and other equally polite and flat-
tering epithets.

" is no' a place for ye, ye auld beldames and
blackguards; awn ye—awa wi' ye at once.'

by our own correspondents. It was establishod beyond
the possibility of doubt, and without the necessity of
breaking a single seal, that this conspiracy existed,
and that the members of it were preparing to re-enter
Italy from Corsica, Malta, and the lonian isles. Effec-
tual preparations were made to suppress it. In those
preparations the Government of this country, both at
home and in our dependencies in the Mediterranean,
was bound to join by the duty we owe to oar
allies and to the tranquillity of the world. The
hosp;tality and protection afforded by the British
flag are violated by the men who convert an asylum of
refuge into a position of attack. We give to these po-
litical fugitives security from their enemies ; but, if we
allow this security to be made a cover for revolutionary
intrigues in foreign countries, we not only compromise our
neutrality in these civil contests, but we passively assist
the very cause we disapprove. Upon these and all si-
milar cases, we adhere to the opinion we very decidedly
expressed upon the visit of the Duke of Bordeaux to
this country, when that visit was converted into a paid-
cal demonstration against the Court of France. It is
very much to be lamented that Lord Seaton had not
sufficient information to justify him in stopping the
fishing-boats before they sailed from Corfu ; but when
they had sailed, he had ~w) legal power to send the
Medea to pursue them on the high seas, and beyond
the British jurisdiction. The enterprise was conducted
by the young Bandieras, who had deserted from
the Austrian service,. angL disgraced their honourable
name by throwing themselves among the most desperate
characters of the revolutionary party. With such leaders,
it could scarcely be called a political movement ; it was
a mere piratical adventure on the coast of Calabria,
which was at once put down by the common people
of the place near which they landed, and a few gens-
d'arznes. It may suit M. Mazzini's purposes to repre-
sent these hapless young men as political victims ; but
in reality they were the victims of nothing but their
extravagant passions and imprudence ; and they
rushed headlong to their own destruction, precisely
because their designs were either not foreseen or no
longer feared. If they had been detected, they would
doubtless have been prevented, and these young men
would not have died an ignominious death.— Times.

" Begorra, not be strange in the other place
anyhow, muttered another. "Tie there he'll meet most
of his countrymen.'

" Throth we wear breeches an us,' said an old fellow
on crutches; and sure I hear that's more nor they do,
in the parts your honour comes from.'
" Sir Archy's passion boiled over at this new in-
dignity. He stormed and swore, with all the impetuous
rage of one beside himself with passion; but the effect
on his hearers was totally lost. The only notice they
took was an occasional exclamation of— s
" There it is now! Oh, blessed father! hear what he
says! Oh, holy mother! isn't he a terrible man?'—
comments by no means judiciously adapted to calm his
irritation. Meanwhile symptoms of evacuating the terri-
tory were sufficiently evident. Cripples were taken on
the backs and shoulders of their respective friends; sacks
and pouches were slung over the necks."
So far as this work has gone it promises well,
and is far less likely to cause ill-feeling towards the
writer on the part of his countrymen than the man-
ner in which he has depicted their passions, preju-
dices, and peculiarities in his former works.

FRANCE ILLUSTRATED, with Drawings by
Thomas Adorn, and Descriptions by the Rev. G. N.
Wright, M.A. Fisher, Son, and Co., London. 1845.
This is the first Number of a series of pictorial
illustrations of the landscape and architectural beauties
of France, from the pencil of Mr. Allom, whose
artistical talents are so well known, and so justly
appreciated, that to name is to praise him. Mr.
Allom's name is a sufficient voucher that the drawings
will be all first-rate works of art ; and, from our
personal knowledge, we can vouch for the strict and
portrait-like accuracy of the drawings contained in
the present Number. The letter-press descriptions,
by the Rev. G. N. Wright, are well written, and
display a considerable amount of antiquarian research.

ROSAS AND HIS CALUMNIATORS.
Effingham Wilson, Royal Exchange, has this day published,

liir. D. BROWNE, having handed in a sum of money from
Liverpool, proceeded to address the meeting. He observed
that strictures had been passed upon the conduct of the Irish
Members for absentin'g themselves from their Parliamentary
duties in another place; but he would tell the gentlemen
by whom those observations were made that the repeal Mem-
bers were equally well entitled to the exercise of a free opi-
nion as they. The repeal Members attended the Concilia-
tion-hall, in the discharge of a conscientious duty—a duty
unrewarded and unrequited, save by the approval of their
consciences and the approbation of their fellow-countrymen.
They were abused by the Irish Whigs, represented by Mr.
Bellew—by the English Radicals, represented by Mr. `Yak-
ley; and by all that was ill-understood, and ill•contrived in
every party, by Mr. Roebuck.—(Cheers.) That gentleman
represented nothing that was generous or noble, but all that
was peevish, cranky, and petulant.—(Hear.) The Hon.
Gentleman then commented in severe terms on the speech
of Mr. Roebuck, and dwelt particularly on the connexion
between him and Papineau, the Canadian insurgent.
Mr. O'CortrrEnn moved a petition to Parliament praying
for a removal of restrictions on the regular orders of the
clergy. They were the advocates of liberty of conscience to
all, and his present motion was in accordance with that
glorious principle which would afford protection to the Pro-
testant in Spain and the Christian in Constantinople.—
(Cheers.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman eulogised
the monastic order as the friends of government, of litera-
ture, and religion. He, called on the meeting to assist him
in abolishing these penal enactments, and he believed he
might state that on this subject he had the cordial support of
the Association, Protestant as well as Catholic.—(Cheers.)
Mr. J. DAVIS, barrister, as an Irishman and a Protestant,
seconded the motion.

Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN supported it.
Mr. GnArrAN addressed the meeting in favour of the mo-
tion. He took a review of English misgovernment in Ire-
land, and maintained that he and all the Hon. Members that
wished well to Ireland should remain at home and do their
duty in the Conciliation-hall.

LAND COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
Mr. O'CONNELL condemned the Land Commissioners' re-
port. He described it as the most exquisite piece of insipidity
that ever proceeded from public men. It was what
Cobbett called " cat-lap"—(Laughter)—stuff, unfit for the
consideration of great men, and only tit for the imbecility of
childhood. While that document was worthless, as far as the
remedial measures suggested were concerned, it was yaluable
to this extent, that it exhibited the state of the Irish people
as far inferior to anything that could previously be credited
in England. This state, he contended, was the consequence
of the Union. Previous to that baneful measure, in 1784,
when Arthur Young was in Ireland, the cottages of the
peasantry swarmed with poultry, and all had pigs, and many
had cows. The labourers then had ls. and ls. 4d. a day—
now sevonpence was considered good wages. There was t.I:T
plenty of labour for the industrious ; and my friends (said
he) we will soon have plenty again.—(Cheers.) He hoped
his words would be taken down, and that they would go to
England to be read by the Roebucks and the other
miserable plunderers of this country.—(Chcors.) He
could not endure these landed Commissioners. Shak-
speare described a perfumed nobleman coining to the field
of battle when it was over: it was thus with these landed
Commissioners—these essenced and perfumed civets talk of
relief in lady-like terms ;he could bear them had they spoken
out manly, and said that they had no remedy for these
miseries, but that the people should look to themselves—
(Cheers)—but they had not done so.—(Hear, hear.) They
had showed their grievances were unendurable, and that the
Irish people wore the most patient on the face of the earth.
And what did they propose ? Oh ! he could not express his
contempt sufficiently for the cat-lap Commission.—(Cheers )
Yes, the people of Ireland were enduring, and they would
endure, for as long as he lived not a single drop of blood
should be shed. But the time of his life was drawing to a
close. He was now at the age when human existence de-
pended upon casualties, and when he was in his cold grave
he should say, England don't dare to continue these injuries
on Ireland.—(Tremendous cheering.) Well, and what do you
think that that little insignificant Roebuck says, that as the
Irish Members are unable totklit, them in the House of Com-
mons we shan't get any man to make us so. He says that
we are insignificant. Oh, who is he to say so ? Was not
his son John there ? and is he "insignificant ?" Was not
Henry Grattan there ? Was not Edmund Burke Roche
there ? And was not William Smith O'Brien there ?
What was insignificant about his friend Mr. O'Brien ?
Was it his talent or his ancestry—his independence
of spirit or of principle ? Oh, Mr. Roebuck, it is
you that is insignificant, and you who are unsavoury.—
(Cheers and laughter.) This, said he, is the report of the
Land Commissioners, and in the face of it Mr. Roebuck
dared to propose the extension of the income-tax to Ireland.
None but a plunderer and a robber dared to propose such an
impost after such a report. The Hon. Gentleman then im-
plored of the people to preserve tranquillity—to abstain
from crime—and, above all, from illegal societies ; and having
recommended the adoption of a peaceable combination by
which he had carried Catholic Emancipation, he moved
that it be referred to the Parliamentary Committee to in-
quire into the facts and representations contained in the Land
Commissioners' report.
Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL expressed his gratitude to Mr.
Sheil and Sir Winston Barron for their manly defence of the
Irish Members in the late debate on Mr. Roebuck's motion,
and regretted that it would be inconsistent with their pro-
fe sions of not identifying themselves with the proceedings
in Parliament, to propose a vote of thanks to those gentlemen.
At the conclusion of the proceedings Mr. O'Connell an-
nounced the rent for the week to be 366/.
The meeting then adjourned.

" The authors of the Silent Friend' seem to be thoroughly con-
versant with the treatment of a class of complaints, which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those
who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to
recommend to it a carefhl perusal."—Era.

METROPOLIS IMPROVEMENTS.—Yesterday the Com-
missioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests issued their
plans, for letting on building leases various plots of ground
on the line of the new- street, which will communicate be-
tween Oxford-street and Holborn, and which is to be called
" Oxford-street," the length of street being about 1,800 ft.,
and the width about 60ft. There are thirty-five lots, the
frontage of each varying from 22ft. 6in. to 125 ft. 9in. The
fronts of the houses towards Oxford-street " are to be enriched
architectural elevations, faced with such materials as the
Commissioners may approve," and " no objection will be
made to buildings of the architecture known as ElizAethan."
" The carcase of each house is to be built by or before Christ-
mas-day, 1845, and the houses and all other buildings on all
the lots, are to be completely finished and rendered fit for
habitation by or before Midsummer-day, 1846, under penalty
in each case respectively of the forfeiture of the lease." The
ground excavated for the basement stories, if required by the
Commissioners, is to be deposited to fill up the loose ground
around the Milbank Prison. No tenant is to carry on the
business of publican, tripe-boiler, slaughterman, soap-boiler,
tallow-melter, blacksmith, farrier, chimney-sweeper, or any
noxious, noisy, or offensive trade, without the consent of the
Commissioners. The lessee is to reimburse the Commis-
sioners the expenses incurred by them for building the vault
and sewers, and for paving the street, or to pay in lieu thereof
an annual rent, at the rate of 60/. for 27ft., or 3/. per annum.
The houses are to be erected subject to the inspection of the
architect of the Commissioners, and no change of the archi-
tectural decorations is to be granted without the consent of
the Commissioners.

ried a considerable distance, and ran foul of other vessels, which
let go their anchors or released themselves from their moor-
ings, and a scene of indescribable confusion took place. The
Upper Tunnel-pier belonging to the watermen, and adjoining
Execution-dock, and which extends 160 feet into the river,
escaped altogether, the brig and other vessels passing within
a few yards of, the outer " dummy." Several collisions took
place, and some time elapsed before the vessels could be sepa-
rated from each other. the brig which first got adrift was
towed back to her original berth by a steam-tug, and the
barges of the Lower Tunnel-pier, which is a great impediment
to the navigation in the Pool, drifted as far as the Tower,
and were brought back by the owners of this landing-place,
which, to the surprise of many, has been so long permitted
in a busy part of the river.

The report, which was read by
mr.that,
in
pursuance of a reso-
lution passed at the last general meeting, the Directors had
completed the arrangement with the Brighton Company,
who were now registered Proprietors of 3,500 shares. The
Directors had been actively engaged in promoting every ne-
cessary step towards the vigorous progress of the undertaking,
and on the 2.3 d of December they made a call of Si. per
share, payable on the Ist of February. It was satisfactory
to them to be able to congratulate the Proprietors on the
promptness with which the call was met, the sum of 1,4401.

suggested by the South-Eastern Company with a view to

the most careful consideration of the Directors in respect of
the lines proposed between Tunbridge and Hastings, and also
a revival of the Headcorn line. The engineer's report stated
that between Lewes and Brighton, where the heaviest works
were to be encountered, great progress had been made, par-
ticularly on each side of the Fulmer tunnel, 600 yards in
length. Between Fulmer an Brighton, five occupation
bridges had already been built, and the public road, bridge,
and viaduct over the London-road would soon be put in hand.
The report was adopted, and a discussion ensued in reference
to the contracts entered into by the Directors on the subject
of the works on the line.
