ADVANTAGES OF THIS INSTITUTION. 

 The whole of the Profits divided annually among the Mem- 

 bers, after payment of five Annual Premiums. 



An ample guaranteed Capital, in addition to the Fund con- 

 tinually accumulating from Premiums fully sufficient to afford 

 complete security to the Policy- Holders. 



Credit piven to Members for half the amount of the first five 

 Annual Premiums, by which means Assurances may be effected 

 and loans for short periods secured with the least possible present 

 outlay, and after payment of the arrears the party will become 

 entitled to participate in the entire profits of the Institution, 

 precisely in the same manner as if he had paid the whole 

 amount of his Premiums in advance, in the usual way. 



Thus, for example— a person in the 25th year of his age, 

 instead of paying 2/. 6s. per annum for an Assurance of 100/., 

 would be required to pay 11. 3s. only during the first five years, 

 when, on payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 

 5/. 15*., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his 

 Juture Annual Premiums to very little more than the half Pre- 



i« th" 3 ° i 3- ' ori £ inallv Pa»d by him. The Great Britain 

 is tne only Mutual Assurance Society in which this very great 

 accommodation is given to the Assured.

 c °ncurred in «, P ° wers of the law > but at once 

 co «ditio a th»t ♦! a PP° intment of committees, on the 



ac they were secret. In the Commons it 



was also stipulated that the Committee should include government, acquainting him with the views of the 



no person who had at any period been a Minister of the 

 Crown, or had practised at the bar ; Mr. Duncombe as 

 the accuser, and Sir J. Graham as the accused, being 

 equally excluded. It was agreed in both Houses that 

 the inquiry should not be confined to the recent instances, 

 but should embrace the period during which the Whig 

 Ministry were in office, and include the Irish as well as 

 the English Post Office. The members of these Com- 

 mittees were then appointed, the majority in each case 

 being chosen from the Opposition benches. During 

 the discussion in the Lords, the Duke of Wellington 

 6aid more in reference to the late events than 

 had previously fallen from any other Minister. He 

 intimated that the warrants by which the letters 

 of Mr. Mazzini and others were detained, had been 

 issued in order to arrest the progress of a con- 

 spiracy which, according to representations received from 

 the Austrian Government, was maturing between 

 foreigners resident in London, and others at Malta and 

 Corfu. The object of this conspiracy was to attempt an 

 insurrection in Italy, by collecting a force in the Ionian 

 Islands, and landing on the Calabrian coast ; and our 

 Foreign News this day shows that the attempt has actu- 

 ally been made. The Duke of Wellington is understood 

 to have intimated, that on receiving a representation on 

 this subject from the Austrian authorities, our Govern- 

 ment determined to use every effort to check a con- 

 spiracy, of which the first blow was to be struck from a 

 British dependency, and against a friendly Power. Lord 

 Aberdeen, however, distinctly assured the House 

 that no portion of the correspondence examined had 

 been shown to any foreign government whatever. 

 The Sugar Duties and other Bills received the Royal 

 assent on Thursday. In the Lords on Monday, Lord 

 Brougham's Privy Council Bill passed through com- 

 mittee, that portion of it which related to the law of di- 

 vorce, and to the appointment of a Vice-President and 

 Puisne Judges being omitted. The Bill introduced by 

 Lord Powis to prevent the union of the sees of Bangor 

 and St. Asaph has been met by Government with an ob- 

 jection which will probably be fatal to it. It appears 

 from the report of a committee specially appointed by 



Cabinet, nor was he aware of the fact of the de* 

 parture of the Prince de Joinville with the fleet 

 under his command. — From the United States, we 

 learn that President Tyler's proposal for the annexation 

 of Texas has been rejected by the Senate, and that the 

 measure is now before Congress, where it will probably 

 meet with a similar fate. 



f^ome Xrfos. 



Court. — The Queen and Prince Albert, with the 

 Prince of Wales and the Princesses, left town on Saturday, 

 for Claremont. On Sunday morning Her Majesty and 

 suite attended divine service in the private chapel, 

 and in the afternoon Her Majesty took an airing in the 

 vicinity of Claremont in an open pony phaeton. On 

 Monday the Queen and Prince Albert walked on the 

 lawn and in the gardens of the Palace : the Prince after- 

 wards rode out on horseback. On Tuesday Her Majesty 

 and the Rcyal family returned to Buckingham Palace, 

 and in the afternoon of the same day the Prince presided 

 at a meeting of the Fine Arts Commission. On Wednes- 

 day the Queen and Prince walked in the gardens of 

 Buckingham Palace. The Prince afterwards rode out on 

 horseback, and Her Majesty had a dinner-party and a 

 concert in the evening. The Queen and Prince also took 

 their usual exercise on Thursday, and in the afternoon 

 took an airing in an open carriage. — Viscountess Jocelyn 

 has succeeded the Marchioness of Douro as Lady in 

 Waiting. The Hon. Miss Liddell and the Hon. Miss 

 Paget have succeeded the Hon. Miss Devereux. and the 

 Hon. Miss Lister, as Maids of Honour in Waiting. The 

 Earl of Morton and the Hon. Capt. Hood have succeeded 

 the Earl of Warwick and Capt. Meynell as Lord and 

 Groom in Waiting. Colonel Buckley has succeeded 

 Colonel Arbuthnot as Equerry in Waiting to the Queen ; 

 and Colonel Bouverie has succeeded Major-Gen. Sir E. 

 Bowater as Equerry in Waiting to Prince Albert. — Tbe 

 Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh 

 Strelitz landed at Dover on Thursday, where they were 

 met by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The royal 

 party 'left Dover by the South Eastern Railway, and 

 arrived at Cambridge House in the evening. 



The King of Saxony.— His Majesty, during this 



and the last week, has been visiting with great rapidity 

 several of our provincial cities. After his visit to Cam- 

 bridge, the King, on Saturday week, reached Chesterfield, 

 the Lords, that there is no precedent for passing a Bill I an d examined its extraordinary steeple, which appears 

 affecting the regulation and revenues of the Church, with- crooked at every point of view. He drove on to Hard- 

 out the consent of the Crown, and this consent Ministers wicke Hall, and thence to Bake well, where he slept. To 

 will not advise Her Majesty to grant. The question, Chafworth on Sunday, several ■ h ° u » ^ 

 u -ii i. u £ ii j -a a „ fji t\, a nrTmmittPP Conservatory ; thence to Iladdon Hall, one ot the seats 



however, will not be finally decided until the committee q{ ^ Duk(; ' of ' Rutland t0 Baxton aad thc Peak (Castle- 



report on another point referred to them for inquiry 

 viz., whether the Bill belongs to that class of mea- 

 sures for which it has been the usage to give the 

 consent of the Crown. In the Commons, Minis- 

 ters have adopted the plan of morning sittings in order 

 to get through the press of business at this late period 

 of the Session. The Dissenters' Chapels Bill passed on 

 Friday by a majority of 120, and the Bank Charter Bill 

 passed on Thursday without a division. The Joint 

 Stock Companies Bill has gone into committee, an 

 amendment moved by Mr. Hawes that the Bill be com- 

 mitted that day six months having been withdrawn. The 

 House on Thursday, after a long discussion, went into 

 committee on the Poor Law Amendment Bill by a 

 majority of 199 to 19. An attempt to obtain an adjourn- 

 ment had been previously negatived by a large majority, 

 Sir R. Peel having threatened to drop the Bill if the 

 House did not allow it to go into committee ; but not- 

 withstanding the result of this division, and of the sub- 

 sequent one on the main question, no further progress 



was made. 

 An intermediate Overland Mail has arrived this week 



from India. The Punjaub is more disturbed than ever, 

 and another bloody conflict has taken place, the only 

 result of which is to exasperate the animosity of the dif- 

 ferent pretenders to the throne. In Scinde, Sir C. 

 Napier was preparing for the great meeting of the Beloo- 

 chee chiefs, after which it was expected that he would 

 accompany Lord Ellenborough on an expedition for the 

 conquest of the Punjaub. The news from China adds 

 nothing to the accounts brought by the last arrival. — In 

 France, great excitement has been occasioned by the 

 publication of a semi-official article by the Court party, 

 asserting the right of the House of Orleans to separate 

 dotations from the State, in direct opposition to the 

 resolution of the Chambers in a late discussion on the 

 subject. The Cabinet have been questioned on the 

 subject, but with no other effect than to strengthen the 

 rumour that the article proceeded from the King himself, 

 and at the same time to show the hostility of the country 

 at large to such a measure. Important despatches 

 reached the French Government on Wednesday, an- 

 nouncing the entry of Marshal Bugeaud into the 

 town of Ouchda, on the 19th ult., without a shot being 

 fired, the Morocco troops having evacuated the place two 

 days before. A Moorish Chief had asked previously for 

 a conference with the Marshal, and appeared disposed 

 towards a pacific arrangement. At this period, however, 

 the Marshal had not received instructions from his 



ton and its caves) on Monday. A view of Matlock and the 

 H igh Torr, onTuesday ; a peep at the old lead mines worked 

 by the Romans, and a view of the petrifying well. To 

 Birmingham on Wednesday, the first place visited being 

 Boulton and Watt's great manufactory at Soho. Thence 

 fo Leamington in the evening, visiting Kenilworth, 

 Guy's Cliff, and Warwick Castle on his way. On 

 Thursday morning, after walking over the town, His 

 Majesty proceeded to Stratford-upon-Avon and Blen- 

 heim, and arrived at Oxford in the evening. On Friday 

 morning he began to inspect the different places for 

 which Oxford is so much celebrated. He was attended 

 by the Vice-Chancellor only, as His Majesty declined 

 everything that would tend to his recognition as a Sove- 

 reign. Besides visiting Christ Church, the Botanic 

 Garden, the Bodleian Library, RadclifTs Library, 

 the Theatre, Divinity School, Clarendon Printing 

 Office, the Martyr's Memorial, the new building called 

 the Taylor and Randolph Galleries, &c, the King went 

 to many of the colleges, and spent a short time m the 

 schools, where some under-graduates were under exa- 

 mination, performing the " Responsions. His Majesty 

 afterwards honoured the Vice-Chancellor with his com- 

 pany to lunch, at St. John s College, from whence he set 

 out on a visit to the Duke of Buckingham at Stowe, re- 

 turning to Oxford in the evening. On Saturday -his 

 Majesty went to Salisbury, and Tinted the Ca hedral 

 and Stonehenge. On Sunday evening the ^ King ; arrived 

 at Weymouth! where he slept ; and on Monday, after 

 taking a walk on the esplanade, his Majesty set out on 

 his western tour; in the first instance visi ting Lyme 

 Red* for the purpose of examining that classical field of 

 English geology. The King then proceeded by Exeter 



d Torquay to Plymouth, and on Wednesday examined 

 t „e royal dockyard at that port. His Majesty is said to 

 have abandoned his intention to visit Scotland. 



Diplomatic Appointments.— Mr. Peel, eldest son of 

 the Premier, has gone to Lisbon, and thence by Cadiz 

 and Gibraltar to Madrid, where lie is appointed Secretary 

 to the British Embassy, under Mr. Henry Bulwer. It 

 is said that Mr. Peel will remain for two years in Spain. 

 Mr. Clark, only son of Sir James Clark, Physician to 

 the Queen, has been appointed attache to the Embassy at 



Vienna. . 



Parliamentary Movements. — A vacancy has occurrea 

 in the representation of Birmingham by the death of Mr. 

 Scholefield. The hon. gentleman was seized with F aral J" 

 sis a few days since, and died on Thursday, at the age
