limited to 300,000/. only, bearing interest at the rate
of 4 per cent., and not redeemable until the expiration
of twenty years to be calculated from January 1,
1843. Debentures to be issued for the amount in
sums of not less than 5001. each. The loan, or an
It
part thereof, to be tendered for on the 16th instant. t
is understood that the amount now brought to market
is intended merely to cover bills already drawn from
Canada on account of the loan, a considerable pro-
portion of which has fallen, or is about to fall, due at
the Treasury.
Speculations were naturally afloat about the rates
at which this small loan would be tendered for. The
market rate of Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced
to-day was 101, which establishes a eurrent rate of
interest at rather less than 3} per cent. These Cana-
dian debentures should perhaps be considered as a
more advantageous investment, because of the security
against redemption or conversion for 20 years to come.
On the other hand, being a stock small in gross
amount, but large in respect for each debenture, say
5001., the debentures may be less easy of circulation
and sale on occasion. It is supposed in some
quarters That the tenders may. run as high as
1151. for each • 1001. stock, which would give an
interest equal to about 3f per cent. ; but it is
more generally supposed that the tenders will be
somewhere about 1101. for each 1001., which would
return an interest of about 3i per cent.; there are
some who incline to think that 107/. would be the
more reasonable value per 100/. stock, which would
yield interest at the rate of about 3 per cent. These
calculations exclude minute fractional quantities. U
should seem that with the guarantee proposed, which
renders the stock equally secure with any portion of
the national debt, and at the present low rates of in,
terest with the abundance of unemployed capital,
these debentures should command such a rate as
would equalise them with the Three-and-a-Half per
Cents. Reduced, that is 115/. per 1001. stock.
The bills drawn and to be drawn from Canada on
account of the whole loan, together with the rather
heavy amount periodically drawn by the commissa-
riat of the forces there, will afford, to the extent, a
useful supply of bills on England to the New York
market, where probably a large proportion is and
will be negotiated. In such case they may have a
favourable effect in raising the exchanges there. The
bills drawn on the Treasury here, on commissariat
account, are stated to have amounted to about
130,0001. in one month a short while ago—probably,
however, covering a quarter's charges.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec. 13.
BESCH V. FROLICK.

This appeal came on for farther hearing this day.
It was an appeal from a decree of the Vice-Chancellor
dissolving the partnership between the parties td the
bill, on the ground of the lunacy of the defendant
Frolick. The case came on in the Court below as a
short cause, and. the decree was made without any
argument being heard. It was contended, in support
of the appeal, that the decree should only have dis-
solved the partnership from the date of the decree
itself, 1839, and not have gone back to May, 1834.
The LORD CHANCELLOR in giving judgment, said
it was competent to the plaintiff Besch, to file at any
time for procuring a dissolution of partnership ; if he
chose not to do that, and for a considerable period
continued to derive a benefit from the lunatic's capital
and interest in the concern, it was not open to
him now to say that the partnership ought to stand
dissolved from the period of the insanity of the appellant.
This would be a great hardship to the lunatic, whose
capital would be so employed, he being also left liable
to the partnership debts. The decree of the Court
below must be confirmed, as far as respected the dis-
solution of the partnership between the parties. The
dissolution, in reference to others to be dated from
the day of filing the bill.

An Address, upon the occasion of her Majesty's

in the county of Kent, having been transmitted for

Secretaries of State, was by him presented to her Ma-
jesty, who was pleased to receive the same very gra-

A letter from Barcelona, of the 4th instant, states
that much damage has been done to the city by the
bombardment. A contribution of 2,000,090 piastres
was to be levied on the city. The Regent had spot
yet entered Barcelona. Full particulars will be found
under the proper head.
The Madrid journals, of the 4th, are entirely with-
out interest.

The French Court left the Tuileries on Friday, for
Fontainebleau, where it will remain for some days.
The streets where his Majesty and family passed were
croWded with police agents and municipal guards.
The Royal family occupied three carriages ; that of
the King being escorted by a strong detachment of
Lancers and National Guards.

M. Rothschild is said to have declared that he would
not embark one franc in railroad enterprises, till the
action against the Versailles Railroad Company was
over ; for if damages were given in proportion to such
disasters, the most colossal fortune might be awarded
away by a jury.
The Crown Prince of Hanover. accompanied by
Aide-de-camp Major Von Stolzenberg, and his phy-
sician, Dr. Spangenberg, set out on the sth for Alien-
burgh, on a visit to the Princess Mary. The King's
health is now as good as can be wished, and has not
at all suffered by his journey to Celle. His Majesty
is recommende' to go to rest early, and as he seems
to take more pleasure than formerly in visiting the
theatre, the performances now begin an hour earlier
than they used to do.
It is reported that the Prussian Government se-
riously contemplates to free all publications, without
regard to their extent, &c., from the censorship, with
the exception, however, of the journals, and that ne-
gotiations for this purpose have already been com-
menced with the German Diet.

THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF ELY V. BLISS.

Mr. BETHEL, in the absence of the Solicitor-Gene-
.ral, opened this case, which involves a question of
great nicety and importance. It was a bill for tithes,
brought by a spiritual corporation aggregate, the
Dean and Chapter of Ely, against the defendant, who
put in a plea founded on tke late Statute of Limitations,
commonly known as the 3d and 4th Wm. IV., and the
important question involved was, whether that statute
of limitations repealed the statute known as Lord
Tenterden's Act, which was passed the year antece-
dent to the former one. In the year 1833 great
changes took place in the law. In the April or May
of that year Lord Tenterden brought in a Bill, put-
ting the law of exemption with regard to tithes on a
better footing ; this Act was followed in the succeed-
ing year by the Act which altered the law of limita-
tions as far as related to real property, and what had
always been understood by the Bar, was, that the
latter statute did not supersede or render the former
inoperative. The decision of the Master of the Rolls
ruled that the latter statute of limitations applied to
suits for tithes, and might be pleaded accordingly in
bar of such suits. The present case was an appeal
' from that decision, with the view of trying the ques-
tion. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read
the bill ; the claim against which the statute of limi-
tations was pleaded was made by the Dean and Chap-
ter of Ely fur great and small tithes, under a grant
from Henry VIII.
The Lord Chancellor rose at two o'clock to attend
the prorogation of Parliament.

BETT'S PATENT BRAND .—The unparal-
leled and still increasing sale of this favourite beverage,
has been attended by its natural consequence—the excitement
of envy In every branch of the• Spirit trade. Hence, each suc-
ceeding year brings to notice competitors, whose announce-
ments, ander fallaciews pretences and high sounding titles, urge
upon the public notice articles, whose only distinguishing fea-
ism is their vast inferiority to the Patent Brandy.
It is to guard purchasers against the consequences of such
attempts, avid for that reason only, that J. T. Betts and Co. are
again induced to state, that the Patent Brandy is manufactured
only at the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St.
John-street ; where it may be obtained, pale or coloured, at
Eight'en Shillings per Gallon, of the highest legal strength.

The most rational motives to Lzfe Assurance are found in
the plan adopted by this Society ; viz. joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors if the Assured, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) in the event if unforeseen reverses.

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,

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 1134.
In le4l 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 bonus added to policies since the commence-
ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December
MO, is as follows :
Sum Assured. 'Time Assured. Sums added to Policy.

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.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com-
patible with the security of the kssured, 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.

Cmunct or SCOTLAND.—The "—affairs of—tl-e
Church" i ire really in a queer condition at present.
The vaviof is provincial Synods, which have recently
been hoadi ng their half-yearly meetings in different
parts of the. kingdom, have, in every case where a ma-
jority orimcvnbers was on the Non-Intrusion side, by
resoluti( ins 6.7 some other way, expressed their determi-
nation r tot to yield to the domination which the Civil
Courts, as theT allege, are attempting to exercise over
the Eccie siastical. At the same time, it is very apparent,
from the speches delivered at these Synods, and from
the tone .of the Non-Intrusion press, that the party is
greatly (ILI tcouraged, and that numerous individuals
among the clergy are very much afraid that the main-
tenance of their consistency, combined with the re-
tention of their livings, will not be an easy matter.
On the other hand, the Moderate party seem to be in
high feather, and not one whit disposed to come to
terms witE their opponents. If the feelings and pur-
poses of tl a s party are to be inferred from the doings
of its adl ,e; rents in the Synod of Aberdeen, we may
expect an jit nmediate rebellion of the minority in the
Assemhl• 5- o,9;ainst the majority. The Aberdeen
Modest' es ha A, e not only refusQd tacitly to implement
the deed of the Assembly, in reference to the clergy-
meno wi 10 had symbolised with the deposed brethren
of
of the bb ogle, by retaining their names on the roll
o
Si nod, but they have declared in so many
words.'thal they will not act up on that deed. No
rebellion e tuld be more flat, avowed, and daring.—

LAW AND _ POLICE.

Edward Knight, landlord of the Eagle and Child,
at Warrington, who absconded from that town on the
2d of September last, having been arrested in Cum-
berland, was charged at the former place on Monday
with embezzling various sums of Money to the amount
of nearly 1,0001., the property of Messrs. Smith and
Dutton, malsters, who had employed him confiden-
tially. He was committed to take his trial on the
charge at the next assizes, and the witnesses bound
over to prosecute.

William Edwards was yesterday brought up again
for final examinatisn at Clerkenwell, on the charge of
having committed numerous robberies at the houses
of medical men, and fully committed for trial.
Louisa Haycock was finally examined at Maryle-
bone on the charge of having robbed the Marquis of
Northampton, and other individuals, of various books,
articles, &c. She was fully committed for trial.

LITERARY RIJD SCIENTIFIC.
From the report on the manufacture of sugar in the
French West India islands, it appears that the 3ugar-
plant itself, which originally came from Otaheite, has
degenerated, chiefly through inattentive culture, and
want of care in the evaporation of the juice.

THE PUNJAUB.

The festival of the " Dussurah," which was looked for-
ward to as the occasion on which disturbances would
take place, if any occurred at all, appears to have passed
off with great quietness. The troops, whose turbulent
disposition might have led to some outbreak, were dis-
persed to different stations during its celebration. This
was done by the Maharajah on the advice of Gen. Court.
It is said that the whole army is now in the field, under
the command of this officer Aggression is not intended,
but the Seikh Government are resolved to resist any at-
tempt to deprive them of Peshawur or Cashmere. How
far this intelligence may be depended on it is difficult to
judge, for the reports from Lahore have been for some
time past so very contradictory, that we are at a loss
what to believe and what to reject as untrue. Not long
ago a Bombay journal confidently asserted, not only that
the Seikhs had actually ceded to Shah Soojah the two
provinces I allude to, but that his Affghan Majesty had
beneficiently mode them over to us ; and now it is reported
that Shere Sing is determined to rotain them at any cost.
In my very last letter, too, I had occasion to remark upon
an almost similar instance of the conflicting nature of the
statements published in Calcutta.

The loss of the Chinese at the capture of Amoy is
estimated at 150, including several Mandarins. The
British had only nine wounded, one of whom, a boy,
afterwards died. The number of guns taken and de-
stroyed was 500. All the war junks seized were burned
within sight of the city.
The sudden assemblage of 8,000 troops, and ten vessels
of war, in the neighbourhood of Rangoon, had had its
effect upon King Tharawaddie, who appears to have
directed his march homeward with all convenient speed.
General Sir R. Sale, in endeavouring to make his way
from Cabool to India, with a brigade nearly 3,000 strong,
including artillery, has been all but defeated in the
Koord Cabool pass. He was first assailed on the 9th
October, and from that time to the 24th was incessantly
engaged with the enemy. In the course of 16
days he was only able to force his way fifty or sixty
miles of ground ; 250 men have been killed and wounded
on our side, amongst these are ten officers wounded and
three killed ; the most difficult of his ground is still to
be forced. His escape from total destruction seems to
have been most extraordinary.
The French Consul-General in Egypt, Count Chabat,
has received a splendid dessert service, valued at about
3,0001., to be transmitted to the Pacha as a present from
the King of France ; each plate contains a representa-
tion of some Moorish chieftain, most beautifully exe-
cuted, and the centre piece, which is valued at 8001., is
a most chaste and elegant piece of workmanship.
