/(SHE PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE was the origi-
-1 nal Office which effected insurances upon the principle of
combining the security of an adequate permanent Capital (in ad-
dition to the fluctuating Funds arising from the Premiums) wish
the beneficial rule of returning, at stated periods, the surplus of the
annual Premiums to the Contributors, after paying losses and ex-
penses. The importance of this improvement is acknowledged by
extraordinary public approbation, and by the nutnercus imitations
of it, which new Offices have lately offered, and which older ones
have adopted, in changing their constitutions. The principle is of
chief value, because as it yields, by the specific sums interred, and
the return cf the surplus, the fullest value for the 'deposits, persons
have no reasonable motive for venturing on the lure of reduced
and insufficient premiums, which has led to such frequent instances
of disappointment and ruin.
Bonuses of ,Eta Bs. and 526 12s. per cent. have been divided
during the last fourteen years.
Permission is granted to all persons whose lives are insured at
this Office (not being Mariners in the exercise of their profession),
to pass by sea in whole-decked vessels or steam-boats, from one
part of the United Kingdom to another, and also in time of peace
from British to the Foreign Ports between the Texel and Brest in-
dusive,without License and extra Premium, as is generally required.
Military Men insured at this Office are not charged with any
additional Premium, unless called into actual service.
No Admission Fees are required, nor is any charge made for Pe-
Ides, except the Stamp Duty.
Advantages thus extensive and substantial having been constantly
realised during a period of seventeen years, the Public will readily
appreciate the difference between the value of Policies issued by
this Office and by others. -
Agc are appointed in all the principal Towns.

THE GREEKS AND THE TURKS.

The Paper printed at Missolonghi, under the title of I
The Greek Chronicle, mentions, in its Numbers of the I
17th, 18th, and 19th of February, the important services
already done by the Military School established there
by the English. An advertisement in this Paper invites '
young men, from the age of fifteen to twenty, to enter
this establishment, where they will learn the trades of '
carpenters, founders, brazier s, &c. receive two rations
drily, and a dollar and a half per month. A distin-
guished English Officer of Engineers is at the head of
the establishment, and will shortly form a corps of Ar-
tt:lery. Every evening, says the Greek Journal, the Of-
i.ce:-s receive instruction, and in ten days they will be
.6,e to direct the working of the suns, and to instruct
LUSe who are intended for the Artillery service.
fetters from Smyrna of the 3d ult. mention that re-
po: were current of Janina having surrendered to the
tyreek forces under Bozzaris, and that the Albanian
garrison had ranged themselves under his standard.
The capture of Arta by this Commander was known at
Smyrna, but its communication had not tended to ex-
cite any excesses on the part of the Turkish populace;
the severe measures adopted to prevent these outrages
having been attended with the desired end. It is sup-
posed the capture of Janina by the Greeks would decide
the fate of Epirus. The accounts received at Smyrna
from Scio, hand very melancholy details of the state of
that ill-fated island. Prior to the late massacres, the
inhabitants amounted to 110,000 persons, but the pre- '
sent population did not exceed 16,000. The Pacha
at present governing then e is stated to be a man of
great humanity, and it was hoped that under his sway
some portion of the former prosperity of the island
might be recovered, although many years must elapse
before even a partial enjoyment of its former import-
4ince could be obtained. His Majesty's ships Tribune
and Rose arrived at Smyrna on the Ist of April, the for-
mer intending to give convoy to Malta on the 10th.

THE ALLIANCE COMPANY.

The resolutions of the Committee were agreed to,
and the Bill was ordered to be engrossed.
Mr. GRENFELL having observed that a great num-
ber of these incorporating Bills had been introduced,
which enabled the Companies to sue or be sued by their
Treasurer, or other officer to be by them appointed,
wished to know what security the public was to have
for their interests in those cases in which verdicts should
be obtained against the Treasurer? He wished to know,
in short, after judgment had against the officer, who
was to be actually responsible for the debts or damages
which might be recovered
Mr. HUSKISSON was glad of this Opportunity of
having the question openly stated, that it might be met
with as fair an answer. As he understood it, under
these Bills of Incorporation, in case of judgments
obtained against the Treasurer, and their not being made

good, the individuals who might obtain the ver licts
would be at liberty to select any one or more of the mem.
bers of that incorporation, upon whom he would levy
for full satisfaction of his claim. The Honourable Gea.
tleman might depend upon it, that without such a clause
attached to it, no Bill of that nature would be allowed
to pass. He would propose, for public convenience,
another clause, which would require the names of all
the parties to be enrolled at the Stamp Office and none
of the proceedings of the association should he held
good in law till such enrolment had been effected.
Alderman BRIDGES put a question as to the power
of transferring vhaiies, and to ascertain with whom the
responsibility io such cases would rest.
Mr. HUSKISSON said, that up to the very mn,
merit in which the transfer should be effected in the
Stamp Office, the name of the previous subscriber
would be held responsible. There was nothing new iti
the spirit of this regulation, and the result would be,
that them could be ao le/ottransfer tsntil the change of
the name at the Stamp e.

The approach of the great fight between Spring and Lan7an

mighty ones causes additional interest. Spring was in I.,,ntion yes-

GRNERAL GAS-LIGHT COMPANY.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE now rose, upon the
trder of the day for the second re:tding of the Bill to
establish a General rem-light Company, and objected
to the measure. He contended that the existence of a
corporate body entitled to a monopoly in the article of
gas, or any other article, would be injurious at this time
to the interest of the public. The measure before the
/louse was opposed by Petitions from every town over
which the Bill was to operate. The Bill gave the parties
the right of supplying all towns, with the exception of
London, and two or three other places, with gas; and
if the ouse were to allow it to pass, they would keep
no check upon those who supplied the article of light.
Their only object was to get a good return for their
capital. The Noble Earl concluded by moving the Bill
be read a second time this day six months.

The Earl of LIMERICK said, it was surprising the
Bill was brought into the other House in February last,
and no opposition had been offered before the second
reading in that House. The Bill was not to establish
a monopoly. The parties were only desirous of having
the means, with the assistance of a large capital, of
entering into competitiou with others. The parties

were ready to submit to any reasonable Intent:lntents in
the Committee.—The Earl of RossLYN opposed the Bill.
The LORD CHAI4CELLOR could not suffer this
Bill to pass with many of the clauses now in it; if it
did, he could not well conterbplate a more objection-
able Bill. In former tines, Welt bodies must have a
Charter from the Crown; but now, urn the strength
of an Act of Parliament, parties were in the habit of
selling shares at high profits where not a shilling-had
been subscribed, and thus creating a perfect bubble.—
It had been said, that this Bill had passed the Com-
mons without any observations. That he thought was
somewhat extraordinary.. There was no clause requir-
ing this Company to have a single farthing actually paid,
for they all knew, that whether it was for public cha•
cities, or anything else, subscriptions and payments
were very different things—(A laugh ! ) If they were
to have a right of distress against this Company, he
feared it would distress those who attempted to carry
away their gasometers, their portable gas lamps, and
their inflammable air. Many years ago a Company
proposed to sue and be sued by its Treasurer, but as the
Treasurer might recover when he sued, and as the
Treasurer might be without a Treasury when he was
sued, he (the Lord Chancellor) had induced the House
to cause an alteration in the Bill, by which the names
of all the individuals of the Company should be in-
serted, in order that all of them might be recovered
against at law. That should be recollected in evrry
similar instance. The only question was, whether this
Bill might not be so modified as to remove everything
objectionable from it?
After a few words from Lord DARNLEY, the Bill was thrown out
without a division.

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENCINEERS.—This Society
celebrated its anniversary dinner yesterday, at the Lon-
don Coffee-house. The attendance was extremely nu-
merous, and highly respectable. Mr. TELFORD pre-
sided. After the preliminary toasts were drank, Mr.
PALMER read a short address, containing a description
of the origin and progress of the Institution down to
the present time; its object being 'the mutual promo-
tion of science amongst the members of the society.—
Several speeches were made in the course of the even-
ing, none of which excited more applause than those
of one or two foreign members present. The whole df
the members seemed very much gratified at the rd.
gielsive success of the Institution; and one or two al-
lusions to the present redundancy of capital, with au
accompanying hint that the aid of the Gentlemen of
this profession would be required to set it afloat, were
received with marked good humour.
The last piloted report of a Committee of the House
of Commons, relating to gas, contains the following
gratifying statement :—" The Committee cannot close
their Report without expressing their satisfaction that
the Public have obtained so great, and so rapidly in-
creasing a means, of adding to the convenience and
comfort of society, as the use of gas, under due ma-
nagement, must afford; and they are of opinion, that
as a means of police, much benefit would be derived
from its general introduction to light the streets of this
metropolis."

BEER DUTIES BILL

Mr. COKE presented a Petition from Richard Sutton,
pf Bagnigge Wells, brewer, representing that if the
Beer Duties Bill were fairly understood, it would not
be so opposed. It would be beneficial to the public if
Retail Breweries were encouraged. Beer was sold at
10d. that might be sold for per quart, if the re-
strictions were removed.

Mr. NIONCK said, reduction in the price of Beer had
been effected by the Retail Breweries at Reuling, from
SJ. to +d. per quart, and better Beer was obtained.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it
might be convenient to state what course he should
pursue. lie was quite satisfied that the Scale of Duties
was founded on principle. It had, however, met with
much opposition in the House; and in consequence of
the feeling excitee: against it, though he retained his
opinion of the good principle, he should propose that
such Sc ilk of Ditties be excluded from the Bill—
( I kw.). Ac to the other portion of the Bill, which
concerned the Retail of Beer, he should deem it his duty
to retain it—( Hear, hear).
Mr. MABERLY said, that this would make the Bill
still more objectionable. If it were retained, it must
be the ruin of many Publicans, who had sunk their
money in the purchase of public.houses. Unless, there-
fore, the Publicans were relieved from the restrictions
which now pressed on them, but which did not affect
the Brewers, he should oppose the Bill altogether, by
moving, that it be read this day six months. The Pub-
licans were obliged to keep open house, and were sub-
ject to various hardships which did not affect the
Brewers. 'These restrictions, and many other impedi-
ments, ought to be removed, if the Chancellor of the
Exchequer persevered in that Bill, which he erroneously
called " to relieve the Beer Trade."

Mr. MONCK hoped that the Bill might be so far
persevered in as to grant the useful extension to Retail
Brewers.—Petition ordered to be printed.
