EUROPEAN LIFE INSURANCE AND
ANNUITY OFFICE,
10, CHATIIAX-PLACL BLACKTILLAR% LONDON.
THIS COMPANY is formed on principle's com-
bining every degree of security with advantages superior to
any previously offered to the Public. It consists of a number of
Proprietors, who are required to assure on their own lives or on,
those of approved nominees, sums proportionate to their respective
Shares, on every Transfer of which a new Insurance is required to
be effected. This system, by the perpetual renovation of Policies,
secures' he stability and growing prosperity of the Company, and
is productive of great benefit to the assured, who participate in
the Profits arising from this regulation, without being responsible
for the engagements of the Company, which are secured by a large
subscribed capital.
In the year 1819, when the European Company was formed, the
Directors caused Rates of Insurance to be calculated from the
amalgamated Life Tables or all Europe, which produced results
lower than the rates of any Company then established, and which
will still be found lower than any of the Tables of Companies
more recently formed, which admit the insured to a participation
in the profits : and this difference is so considerable as to be in the
nature of an annual bonus to the assured. •

Tbe affairs of the Coatpany are managed by a Board of Twelve
Directors, which sits every Wednesday throughout the year, at the
Company's Office, No. 10. Cbathasn-place,Blackfriars.
Prospectuses assay be bad at the Once, or of any of the Pro-
prietors.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

DINNER TO ALDERMAN WAITHMAN.

Yesterd.iy, about 250 of the friends of the worthy
Alderman dined at the London Tavern, in honour of his
return to Parliament as one of the Members for the City
of London. Mr. Farell was in the Chair, with Alder-
man Waithman on his right, and Mr. Bambara, the
Member for Sr. Alban's, on his left.
After the usual toasts on such occasions, Mr. FAVELL,
in a neAt speech, proposed the health of Mr. Alderman
Waithman, as the firm and enlightened Representative
of the City of Loud .n, and the protector of the traders
of London.

Mr. Alderman WAITHIIAN then came forward amidst
the loudest acclamations, and spoke foe Nearly an hour
and a hAt upon the routine topics of an election feast;
and concluded by proposing the health of Mr. Favell,
and added in the words of the poet ;
64 0 that his brows my laurels bed adorned."
The health: of Mr. Byng, Mr. &stints), Mr. Alderman
Wood, Sir F. Burdett, and Mr. Hubhouse, were this
given with great applause.
Invitations were sent to Lord Milton, Sir F. Burdett,
Mr. J. C. Hobhouse, Mr. Whitbread, and a great num-
ber of Mr. Alderman Waithman's friends, but none of
them attended.

only one thing of which he had to amplain.resprcting
Mr. Beaumont, and that was, that he still persisted in
detaining thefieeholders at the election, when he knew
that they were wanted_ elsewhere (the races at New-
castle), at a place ,here large• sums or their money
ere depending upon -matters of a different nature.
Mr. BEAUMONT said, that his answer to Mr. Bell was
this—the race fbr the independence of the county was
the Most.interesting that could be run ; while, therefore,
there was a chance of success he- should ant desert his
'via. Although many persons might feel anxious for the
,urns of money, vbich, as his friend told them, were at
stake, he trusted they would not !titular keeping
them waiting there. He craved their indulgence there-
fore while the cont!st remained undetermined, believing
it to be the must important contest that had ever taken
place in that county, or, indeed, in all England. What-
ever were the result, so far as he was personally con-
cened, there was one thing certaintlie. t,brsoious
Whigs were for ever overthrown in Northuniberiand.—
their tyranny was cast dome, and the independence of
vat county had.been by him (Mr. Beau Mont) secured.
Toe hypocrisy of their enemies war exposed, and the
breasts of all honest men had become indignant at the
arts which had been used to crush. an individual; this,
at least, he knew he had the satisfaction of .accompli•ls-
ing. He would not keep the.poll open oneotoment be-
yond the time when he had a rational prospect of suc-
cess. The tlecrensit,g Majorities of his adversary, or
rather his friend, Mr. Bell, showed that his holes were
well founded. He then adverted to the broken pro-
mi,es he had enduredb which had hitherto prevented his
taking his place before Mr. bell on the poll. Above
two hundred promises, on which he relied, had been
violated. Of this, however, he could enure them,
that it they preferred returning Mr. Liddell and Mr.
Bell as their Representatives, his (Mr. Beaumont's) wish
would be, that their triumph might belong and happy.

The High Sheriff then dissolved the hustings.

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Jur.: 6.
FRY V. •TILRRY.

• This was •an •action brought by Messrs. Fry and Co.,
bankers, in MiMred's-court, against Mr. Terry, the
proprietor of John'A Coffee-house, Cornhill, to recover
the sum of 4971..105. which was aid by the plaintiff to
take 4p fotAillsiit exchange, ,mask payable artheir
house by a Mr.Summerfield, a !astire of the defendant.
Mr. SCARLRTT, for the defendant, contended, that
circumstances connected with the state ot•the acceptor's
affairs, which, if disclosed to the defendant, would have
prevented his giving the -undertaking upon which the
present action was brought, had not been fairly and
properly stated to him.
The LORD CURT JUSTICE, in summing up, stated to
the Jury, that if such should be their opinion, it would
be their duty. to find for the defendant. His Lordship
then went through the recapitulation of the evidence;
and the Jury, after a short deliberation, found a verdict
for the defendant.

RZWITRAD V. PROCTOR.
This was an action for libel, brought by the plaintiff,
who is preacher of a congregation of Independent Cal-
vinists, at Egham, in Surrey, to recover from the-de-
fendant, who is a member of that sect, and a gentleman
of property, residing at Islington, compensation in
damages for injury sustained by the plaintiff, in conse-
quence of the defendant having written an anonymous
letter, casting imputations upon the character of the
plaintiff.
The witnesses called to prove that t►e libel was in the hand
writing of the defendant, swore that they believed the contrary,
and the plaintiff was therefore nonsuited.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Juts 5.
Charles Cooper, a publican, lately residing in West-
street, Smithfield, was brought up the fourth time for
final hearing and judgment.
It appeared by the evidence before the Court, that
when the insolvent left his house, in consequence of the
refusal of a license, he lodged near 20001. in the hands
Messrs. Trueman and Co. the brewers, to whom he
was considerably indebted for money lent, and also for
beer. The condition was, that the surplus was not to
be removed until it was ascertained whether Ross, the
insolvent's successor, obtained a license. At the April
Sessions he appealed against the order of the Alderman
and Ward of Farringdon Without; when, upon the
evidence of Mr. Galloway, Mr. Figgins, and several of
the Common Council, as to the house having latterly
been more orderly, the Recorder ranted Ross a license.
The insolvent was at -this time in prison, and filed his
petition without noticing the money due to him in the
hands of Trneman, and absolutely paid away near 2001.
The Cuter C 01114182101111 in pronouncing the adju-
dication of the Court, said, the insolvent had acted in a
very culpable manner, and was not, therefore, a fit per-
son to receive in immediate discharge. The judgment
of the Court was,. that he be remanded for six months,
and confined within the walls of the prison, under the
16.11 section of the. Act.

MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS, JULY 6.
• IRS OF (mum
Several uninteresting eases of swank were tried, and, a Mint pro.
mutton, tho.,Klag v. John Divine, was called on.
The Foreman of the Jury said, that before the pri-
soner was given in charge,he begged to address a few
words to the Chairan. At the late General Session
of the Pew fur the county of Middlesex, held in that
Court, not less than seven Mint cases were tried by the
Jury, and as it had been the uniform practice' fur the
Jury to be paid a fee of one shilling to each Juror for
every verdict, it was of course expected that Mr. Powell
(who acted for Mr. Chippendale)would have paid the
tee* when the trials were over ; but, from some misc-
