"One of the most able addresses ever listened to. Mr. Day 

 took every argument of the Leaguers, and by the statistical 

 information he had accumulated, entirely demolished them, 

 tearing them to pieces, and hurling them m their teeth. — 



'"The Speech is calculated to be of great benefit. Its language 

 is clear and forcible ; and its arguments are so put as to be easily 

 comprehended. The Agricultural body will do well to circulate 

 the pamphlet extensively.— Cambridge Chronicle and Huntingdon-

Low Rates of Premiums. 

 In addition to the subscribed Capital of 300,000L, the Assured 

 have the security of the Company's Income of nearly 6O.OO0J. per 

 annum, yearly increasing, and accumulating Assurance Fund, 

 invested in Government and other available Securities, of con- 

 siderably larger amount than the estimated liabilities of the Com- 

 pany. The Rates of Premium are reduced to the lowest scale com- 

 patible with the safety of the Assured and the stability of the 

 Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy-holder an im- 

 mediate and certain bonus without risk, in lieu of # the deferred 

 and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of profits.

One-third of whole-term Premiums may remain unpaid at 5 per 

 cent. comp. int. as a debt upon the Policy for life, or may be paid 

 off at any time without notice. 



In Assurances for advances of money as security for debts, or 

 as a provision for a family, when the least present outlay is desir- 

 able, the varied and comprehensive Tables of the Argus office will 

 be found to be particularly favourable to the Assured.

The report of the State trials in Ireland in our Paper 

 of this day, brings down the account of the prosecution to 

 the close of the 10th day. The greater part of the week 

 has been occupied with the examination of witnesses on 

 behalf of the Crown, to prove the speeches delivered by 

 the traversers at the different meetings, and the various 

 proclamations and documents published by the Repeal 

 newspapers. The cross-examination of these witnesses 

 appears to have been directed not so much to questions 

 of fact or of credibility, but to prove the peaceable charac- 

 ter of the meetings, and the uniform good conduct of the 

 people who attended them. The case for the prosecution is 

 expected to close this week ; and the defence, it is said, will 

 be commenced by Mr. Shiel on the part of Mr. John 

 O'Connell. The counsel for the other traversers will fol- 

 low, and Mr. O'Connell will conclude the defence by 

 addressing the Jury on his own behalf. It is stated, that 

 the traversers have about four hundred witnesses to 

 examine.— Her Majesty's Speech at the opening of Par- 

 liament, which will take place on Thursday next, will 

 make, it is said, a strong and marked reference to the 

 state of Ireland, and to the means adopted to maintain the 



Union inviolate. 



From France we have accounts of the adjourned debate 

 on the Address, which has proved thus far favourable to 

 the Cabinet. In this important debate, the questions of 

 the English Alliance, the Commercial Treaty, and the Right 

 of Search, were brought under discussion, and the rela- 

 tions of France and England in all parts of the world were 

 fully canvassed by the contending parties in the Chamber. 

 The result has proved in every respect satisfactory to the 

 friends of peace, and the paragraph of the Address expres- 

 sing gratification at the cordial understanding with this 

 country has been adopted by a large majority. — The 

 news from Spain is unimportant, relating chiefly to 

 the continued success of the Opposition candidates, 

 and to the domestic policy of the Cabinet. The 

 intended return of Queen Christina appears to be no 

 longer doubtful ; and addresses have been forwarded to 

 her from Barcelona, praying her Majesty to pass through 

 that city on her way to Madrid — From Greece we haye 

 accounts of the dismissal of M. Rhigas Palamedes from 

 the Ministry by the advice of his colleagues, on the 

 ground of his being the leader of the exclusive party
