SUPERIOR FACILITIES afforded by the UNITED
KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8,
Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, and 2, Charlotte Row, Mansion
House, London.

This. Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords
the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only
requires, when the insurance is for the whole period of life,
one-half of the very moderate premiums to be paid for the
first five years after the date of the policy : the other half
may remain, subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent.
annually, to be deducted at death, or may be previously paid
off at convenience.

It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate
income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his
family ; and should he at any time, after effecting the insur-
ance, succeed to, or acquire a fortune, he may relinquish his
policy, having only paid one-half the premiums for the first
five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies.
Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
£2B 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards the full
premium, £57 I2s. 6d. yearly, secure to his widow and chil-
dren, at his death, payment of no less than £3OOO, subject
only to the deduction of £144 Is. 3d., being the amount of
premium unpaid. _

This Company holds out, in various other respects, great
inducements to the public. When such facilities are afford-
ed, it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not pos-
sessed of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to
insure his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable pro-
vision for his family.

view of the prophecies relating to the dispersion mid restora-
tion of the Jews—the cleansing of the sanctuary—the second
coining of Christ—his peaceable reign with his saints—and
the end of the world. The chronological calculations enter-
ed into by the authorhave evidently been the subject of deep
and attentive consideration. They will gratify the curiosity
of those who delight in speculating upon the unfulfilled por-
tions of the prophecies. The events to which they refer
must, however, be looked to as the best test of their accuracy.

A Letter to his Grace the Duke of Wellington on the
Present State of the Country. By Montague Gore, Esq.
London ; James Frazer. 1840.
This-is-a
-powerfully written-traoh,,and-ought to be ex-,
tensively circulated. The author, handles his subject in the
most masterly style, and .exposes, with much truth and
cogency, the evils which have been brought upon the country
by the gross misgovernment of the present Ministry. This
letter ought to be in the hands of every true Conservative.

Should we petition Parliament to adopt Measures of Church

Extension?' London : Hatchards. 1840,

The important question which we have just quoted is an-
swered affirmatively in this excellent tract. The statistical
details which it embraces and elucidates afford the strongest
evidence of the utter inadequacy of the voluntary principle
as the means of providing religious Instruction for the great
mass of the population.

The Comic Novel; or, Downing-street and the Days of
Victoria. By Lynx. With many Illustrations in many
Styles, by the Artists' Fund Society. No. 1. London :
H. Balliere.

• Whatever may be the literary pretensions of this new
work (upon which point it is almost too early to pronounce a
decided opinion), its illustrations are capitally executed, and
greater in number than those of any similar publication.
&roe of the sketches of " Life in London" are extremely
well hit off, especially the interview between Sir Kant Mull-
brain and Mrs. Byway Sharp. It is no difficult matter to
identify these characters with the originals. The author of
the Comic Novel should avoid punning : his puns are exe-
crable in most instances.

ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AND PRINCE
ALBERT.

Her Majesty and her royal consort did not arrive this even-
ing until a few minutes before seven o'clock. Agreeably
to the expectations which had been formed of the route
which would be taken, the royal cavalcade, consisting of
three carriages, took the road from Slough to Windsor. At
Eton her Majesty was received by the Etonians, who were
drawn up to receive the Queen and the Prince, opposite the
college. Her Majesty appeared to be highly gratified at
these demonstrations of loyalty and attachment. The
Etonians escorted her Majesty through Eton, cheering the
royal pair the whole of the way, until they retired upon the
royal carriages entering the Castle gates. A detachment of
the 2d regiment of life guards. under the command of Lieut.
Tottenham, escorted her Majesty from Colebrook. Upon
the carriage arriving at the castle the Prince first alighted,
who then offered his hand to her Majesty, and the Queen,
who appeared in excellent health and spirits, lightly jumped
off the step, and was supported on the arm of tke Prince to
the royal apartments.

charily enlightened; and many of those noblemen and pri-
vate gentlemen, who, at the coronation, did especial honour
to their Sovereign, this time omitted their exuberance of
loyal devotion. Northumberland-house particularly struck
us. It was, at the coronation, one _blaze of light, and admi-
rably filled up the half side of Trafalgar-square ; but, on
Monday night, it looked dark and gloomy.
The devices exhibited great sameness—a star, a crown, or
the initials " V.A," or " V R" and " P A," formed by far
the greater portion. Love-knots were few, and bride's fa-
vours.not numerous. But, among the exceptions, we must
enumerate the beautiful designs in variegated lamps at the
Ordnance and the. Admiralty ; the really splendid works of
Messrs. Stevens and Co., at the Horse Guards and Somer-
sALhOuse; the gas thrown into the coloured lamps burning
free from all obstruction by wind or rain, and combining all
the brilliancy of the gas with the colours of the lamps ; the
bright gas emblems at the Athenwum, Reforth, and Guards'
Clubs • and the chasteness and elegance of the Bank and
Travellers' Club.

IMPORTANT FROM INDIA.

(From the Bombay Times Extra, December 4)
Captain Outram has brought despatches from General
Wiltshire, whose camp before Khelat he left on the night of
the 15th ult., announcing the capture of that place on the
13th ult., and the death in the conflict of Mehrab Khan, the
chief, all of whose principal Sirdars were killed or taken, and
hundreds of other prisoners.
This was accomplished by a weak brigade of infantry (her
Majesty's 17th and 2d foot, and Bengal 31st regiment,) and
six light guns, at mid-day, by storming the place in the teeth
of 2000 Beloochees, the elite of the nation, after a previous
march and assault of some heights commanding the approach,
on which the enemy had six guns in position.
Our loss was severe, 140 killed and wounded—about one-
fifth of the number actually engaged, one officer, Lieutenant
Gravat, of the queen's, among the former ; and six or seven
officers among the latter, but none severely.
Captain Outram made his way through Beloochistan in
disguise, from Khelat to Somneana, by a different route to
that travelled by Pottinger in 1869--a distance of upwards of
350 miles, which he accomplished in 7-i days, but has since
had an unfortunately tedious passage by sea.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEB.
.11.

We have again to notice a moderate import of Grain from Ire-
land and coastways, in some degree owing to a continuance of
very stormy weather ;—from the European continent and from
America, we have had several cargoes of Wheat, but the increased
duty (now virtually prohibitory) render them of no immediate value
to the country, and duty has been paid on only a small part thereof,
although an advance of 2d to 3d per 7Olbs has been demanded and
'obtained for this article FREI?, owing to the scarcity of fine old
foreign Wheat and Flour. For all other articles in the Corn trade
during the past week here, and in all country markets, the prices
last quoted have been fully supported, though the demand has been
very limited.
The duty on Wheat from foreign ports has (as anticipated) been
increased Is per quarter, and 7id per barrel on Flour, since last
Friday—the duties on which are now 21s Rd per qr. and 13s Rid per
barrel on Flour, very much owing to the miserable quality and
value of the new Wheat, particularly of that from -Ireland ; very
little has been done in bonded Flour or Grain since this day week,
and last quotations have not been exceeded, excepting in Flour,
very small quantities of which have found sales for export, at 31s
per barrel.

,
At this day's market we have had very dull sales for almost every
article in the trade, a small advance was demanded on fine Wheat
and Flour, but it was barely obtainable, and we make very little
alteration in the general prices of this day week.

Church Missionary Society.

The objects of this Society are so- well. known that it is
needless now to recapitulate them. I would, therefore,
merely add, that the deficiency in the Society's funds of
nearly £ll,OOO, and the strong and urgent calls from India
for more Missionaries, render the claims of the Society more
than ever pressing.
Hibernian Society.
The following facts are sufficient to show the importance
of this Society in promoting the spiritual welfare of the Irish
people :
I.—There are in Ireland between two and three millions of
Irish-speaking population, of whom two millions speak
English as well ; and between five and six millions who
speak English exclusively.
2.—Among the English-speaking population, who are a large
majority of the Irish nation, the London Hibernian So-
ciety is principally employed ; while, at the same time,
for those who speak Irish only, it appoints Irish-speaking
Scripture-readers, and forms, where it is required, Irish
classes in its schools.
3.—lt is the principal Society to which the Irish Clergy,
and Protestants in general, look for aid in establishing
and maintaining their Scriptural Schools, and a far
greater number of applications are received from them,
than, in the present state of the funds, can be complied
with.
4.—The number of Day-shools is 1157, containing 91,066
Scholars, of whom 34,067 are Children of Roman Ca-
tholic Parents.
Will you not help Ireland by supporting such a So-
ciety as this ? Every security is given that your money
will be prudently expended. No aid is afforded except
where the Rules of the Society are abided by ; the prin-
cipal of which are, that the whole Scripture shall be read
in the Schools, and portions committed to memory ; and that
every School shall submit to a quarterly examination by a
competent Inspector, whom the Society appoints. Its plan
is so econimical that a child is educated for a year for little
more than half-a-crown. Have you thus educated a child—
or, if not, will you not do it ?
• Lancashire Lord's Day Society.
The sanctities of the Divine appointment of the Lord's
Day are continually invaded from new quarters, and among
increasing multitudes, by the spirit of commerce, or of
worldly pleasure ; while the bulwarks of law, raised to defend
them, are no more efficient for that object than the fortresses
of antiquity to resist the alterations and improvements of
modern warfare. On these accounts, there seemed an abso-
lute necessity that the friends of religion—who feel the favour
of God to be the only safety and prosperity of a people—
should combine in some effort (more powerful than could
proceed from individual exertions, however zealously made,)
to stand in the breach against the wide and wasting flood of
Sabbath violations, by the formation of a Society

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 13.
Several speculative purchases of Better have been made in the
last day or two, and the market has a decided tendency upwards.
A lot of prime Belfast; scale inspection, has brought 105 s, other de-
scriptions rate from 925 to 100 s, according to character of brand
and freshness.—Without any important transactions to notice in
Pickled Butter, we may remark that holders are firmly requiring
an advance in priCe of 2s per cwt. favourite brands being at 86s to
90s per cwt.—The exciting news which reached town this morning
from the Celestial Empire, will no doubt have its effect upon the
Rrovision market, which has latterly been in an extremely dull
state. We are not able to day to give a correct quotation, but
should say Beef and Pork; India and Prime Mess, are full di per
tierce and barrel higher.—Bacon in fair demand at 48s to .sos for
Belfast of good quality.

ARRIVAL OF PRINCE ALBERT.

Prince Albert's procession was formed in . the Throne-
room, and at half-past 12 o'clock the sound of trumpets and
drums announced that hiS Royal Highness was approaching
the-chapel. The scene at this moment Was of the most ani-
mated'description. All present rose, and in a few minutes
the Prince, attired in the uniform of a British Field Marshal,
and-wearing-the insignia of the Order of the Garter, entered
the chapel. 1-iis Royal Highness was supported by his Se-
rene Highness the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and the
Hereditary Prince his brother. He looked rather pale, but
appeared very cheerful. His Royal Highness was conducted
by the Lord Chamberlain and Vice Chamberlain to the altar,
and was then seated in a chair -next to the Queen Dowager.
Her Majesty and the Prince entered into a close conversa-
tion previous to the arrival of the Queen. On his Royal
Highness entering the chapel, a voluntary was performed by
Sir George Smart on the organ: The procession then re-
turned to conduct her Majesty to the chapel.

from the exhibition of this royal cheese, having been aug-
mented by contributions from the spirited proprietors, were
bountifully distributed during the Christmas week to all the
poor within the'parish of West Pennard, not in money, but
winter clothing ; and a second subscription was raised, headed
by E. Colston and Thomas Roach, Esqrs. by which eight
waggons, heavily laden with coals, were Obtained. A pro-
cession was formed on the arrival of the waggons' near to the

LITERARY NOTICES.

Blackwood's Magazine. February, 1840.
This is a splendid number. The only drawback from its
interest is the omission of the exquisite memoirs of Tittlebat
Titmouse, the absence of which every one must regret. The
first article in the number is an eloquent treatise on the
" Theory of Greek Tragedy," which possesses merit of the
highest order. It is evidently from the pen of a first-rate
scholar. The " Hymns of a Hermit" contain some very
pretty poetry. The review of " Miss 3lartineau's Deer-
brook" is a slashing piece of criticism. The " Letter from
Hannibal Smith, Esq.," has afforded uA much pleastiN frn.
the perusal. The elaborate critique: upon " Grimin's Teu,
tonic Grammar" is one of the best articles in the number.
It -,r2nr, up a comparatively new field of philological inquiry.
Tire " Poetical Translations of Faust" is executed in Chris,
to; r's best style. The remarks on the " Affghanistan
rtion" possess peculiar claims on public attention at
tl.? !,rz.,ent crisis. " Legendary Lore"—" Casuistry "
en Hints on History" ate each excellent in their way.

Frnser's Magazine. February, 1840.
-,9ening article in the present number of this excellent
mi,,,zlne is a critique on " Mrs. Hernans and the Pictu-
resq:ie School of Poetry." The specimens which it contains
of this description of poetry are extremely well selected and
beautiful. The " Characteristics of the Nineteenth Cen-
tury" is the title of a series of pungent political remarks.
We shall transfer several of these slashing articles to our
own columns. " The Star of the Fountain" is a very inte-
resting tale. We especially recommend a careful perusal of
the article en " Poland, England, and Russia." It is one.
of tile best that we have seen on the subject. There is much
origin-lay in the reflections on " The Present State of Lite-
r .ry Criticism in England." The conclusion of the satirical
tale of " Catherine" is capitally managed. It forms an ex-
cellent companion-piece to " William Ainsworth and Jack
Sheppard," in a subsequent page. The paper on " Rabe-
lais" is the production of a true scholar. The " Politibal
Memoranda" are worth their weight in gold, and ought to
be read by every Conservative within the four seas.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEB..ir.

We. have again to- notice a moderate import of Grain from Ire-
land and coastways, in some degree owing to a continuance of
very stormy weather ;—from the European continent and ,from 1
America, we have had several cargoes of Wheat, but the increased 1
duty (now virtually prohibitory) render them of no immediate ti aloe
to the country, and duty has been paid on only a small part theseqf,
although an advance of 2d to 3d per 701bs has been demithiled'aiitt
obtained for this article FREE, owing to the scarcity of firie old
foreign Wheat and Flour. For all other articles in the Corn raile
during the past week here, and in all country markets, the prices
last quoted have been fully supported, though the demand has been
very limited.
The duty on Wheat from foreign ports has (as anticipated) been
increased is per quarter, and ;id per barrel on Flour, since last
Friday—the duties on which are now 21s 8d per qr. and 13s Oid per
barrel on Flour, very much owing to the miserable quality and
value of the new Wheat, particularly of that from Ireland; very
little has been done in bonded Flour or Grain since this day week,
and last quotations have not been exceeded, excepting in Flour,
very small quantities of which have found sales for export, at 31s
per barrel.
At this day's market we have had very dull sales for almost every
article in the trade, a small advance was demanded on fine Wheat
and Flour, but it was barely obtainable, and we make very little
alteration in the general prices of this day week.

THANKS TO CAPTAIN TURNER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.
SlR,—The Mary James, Jackson master, from Mostyn,
bound to Carnarvon with coals, upset in a squall, in Red
Wharfe Bay, at about one o'clock on Wednesday morning,
and the captain and crew with great difficulty got into the
boat, and, after drifting about nine hours, they were fortu-
nately picked up by the Chalton, Captain Turner, of White-
haven, who kindly furnished them with dry clothing and
other necessaries. I beg to acknowledge the kindness of
