Death of the Earl of Kiniore. — The death of this 

 nobleman took place on Thursday week at his Lordship's 

 seat, Keith Hall, Aberdeenshire. His Lordship had 

 been in a depressed state of mind for some time past, 

 and last season relinquished his favourite amusement, 

 fox-hunting, and sought to recruit his strength on the 

 Continent. He returned some time since, after trying 

 the spa of Strath peffer, without any advantage. The 

 immediate cause of his Lordship's death is stated to 

 have been an injury received while hunting many years 

 ago, and which, though partially cured, had left effects 

 from which he never altogether recovered. The Earl of

 ADVANTAGES OF THIS INSTITUTION. 

 . The whole ol the Profits divided annually among the Mem- 

 bers, after payment of five Annual Premiums. 



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

 nually accumulating from Premiums fully sufficient to afford 

 complete security to the Policy- Holders. 



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

 Annual Premiums, by which means Assurances may be effected 

 end 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 e>f paying 21. 6s. per annum for an Assurance of 10©/., 

 would be required to pay I/. 3*. only during the first five years, 

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

 61. 15*., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his 

 future Annual Premiums to very little more than the half Pre 

 minm of II. 3*. originally paid by him. The Great Britain 

 Is the only Mutual Assurance Society in which this very great 

 accommodation is given to the Assured. 



Credit allowed to Members for the whole of the first five 

 , Annual Premiums, on satisfact. ry security being given for the 

 payment of the am he expiration of five years. 



Transfers of Policies effected and registered (without charge) 



at the Office. 



Claims oo Policies not subject to be litigated or disputed, 

 except with the sanction, in each case, of a Ceneral Meeting of 

 the Members, to be specially converted on the occasion. 



Members Assured to the extent of looo/. entitled (after pay. 

 meat of five Annual Premiums) to attend and vote at all Gene- 

 ml Meetings, which will have the superintendence and control

 every requisite information, may be obtained by application to

troops were obligea to aisperse 

 rioters, many of whom were killed. — From the United 

 States the news relates chiefly to Texas, and is interesting- 

 only as confirming the previous advices that Congress 

 have adjourned without giving the least hope that they 

 will sanction the annexation treaty. 



In the House of Lords on Monday the Dissenters' 

 Chapels Bill gave rise to a long discussion, the Bishop 

 of London having moved that the Amendments of the 



ing that the late Admiral Lalande had desired him, on 

 his death-bed, to lay before the Chamber the observa- 

 tions he was about to make. They related to the two 

 questions, whether France should continue a maritime 

 as well as a military power, and to the proportion her 

 steam navy should have towards her sailing navy. On 

 the second question the Admiral urged the greatest 

 circumspection. He was convinced that the sailing

Commons be taken into consideration- that day three Pow \, ra Ann th««fom «m£elled rait ****** in 

 months. The Lord Chancellor, the Bishops of Durham 



and Norwich, and other Peers supported the Bill, and 

 the Bishop of London's motion was negatived by 202 to 

 41. The Commons' Amendments were then agreed to, 

 and the Bill passed. In the Commons the Poor-Law 

 f Amendment Bill has been the principal subject of dis- 

 cussion, and the Bill has passed with few modifications. 

 Mr. Wyse's motion for a committee to inquire into the 

 special jury lists in the late Irish trials was negatived on 

 Monday by 91 to 73. Mr. Duncombe on Thursday 

 again brought before the House the subject of opening 

 letters at the Post-office, in reference to the refusal of 

 the committee to allow him to be present at the exami- 

 nation of his witnesses. A long debate ensued, and the 

 motion for the admission of Mr. Duncombe was nega- 

 tired by 141 to 51.

Accounts have reached Paris from Algiers announc- 

 ing that another skirmish took place on the 3d inst. 

 between the French troops and those of Morocco. Mar- 

 shal Bugeaud, in his despatch to the Minister of War, 

 states that the Moorish force in the battle consisted of 

 about 4000 cavalry ; but the infantry were so far behind, 

 that they could not be brought to an engagement. The 

 Moors, according to the Marshal's statement, appeared 

 desirous of accompanying the French on their line of 

 march without any serious engagement; but the Mar- 

 shal, unwilling to permit this movement which they 

 would have celebrated as a tictory, determined on taking 

 the offensive, and drove the enemy before him, with some 

 loss. The engagement, however, has had no material 

 results, because the Moors offered no reiistance ; but the 

 1 rench consider that it will secure to them a moral ad- 

 vantage by proving to the Moors thst they are inca- 

 pable of competing with French troops in a serious 

 battle. One of the most remsrk able facts in this affair 

 is the announcement that Abd-el-Kader was present, and 

 probably commanded the Moors. The proceedings of 

 the French Chambers are not of much interest, being con. 

 fined mostly to the details of various Railway Bills, and 

 other topics of domestic interest. M. Thiers, as the 

 Reporter of the Committee, has presented to the Cham- 

 bers his report on the Secondary Instruction Bill, which 

 has already caused so much excitement and angry feeling 

 between the Church snd the University. The Report 

 is of great length, having occupied three hours in read-

Court — Her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Prince of 

 Wales, and the Princesses continue at Windsor Castle, 

 and are quite well. — On Saturday, the Queen and Prince 

 Albert, accompanied by the Princess Royal, went to 

 Adelaide Lodge in an open pony-carriage. On Sunday, 

 the Queen and Prince attended divine service in the 

 private chapel of the Castle. On Monday her Majesty, 

 Prince Albert, and the Princess Royal took an airing in 

 an open carriage ; and the Prince afterwards inspected 

 his regiment, the Scots Fusilier Guards, in the Great 

 Park.— The Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of 

 Mecklenburgh Strelitz arrived at the Castle in the after- 

 noon, on a visit to the Queen. On Tuesday, the Queen 

 and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Hereditary 

 Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, took 

 an airing in an open pony carriage, and paid a visit to 

 the Duchess of Kent at Frogmore Lodge. The Royal 

 party also took an airing in the afternoon. On Wed- 

 nesday the Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh 

 left the Castle for town, and the Queen and Prince Albert 

 afterwards took an airing in an open carriage. On Thurs- 

 day the Queen and Prince Albert took an early walk in 

 the pleasure grounds of the Castle, and drove in a pony 

 phaeton in the afternoon. The Countess of Mount Edg- 

 cumbe has succeeded Viscountess Jocelyn as Lady in 

 Waiting; Lord Rivers has succeeded the Earl of Morton 

 as the Lord in Waiting; and the Hon. Capt. Duncombe 

 has succeeded the Hon. Capt. Hood as the Groom in 

 Waiting on Her Majesty. The Queen has appointed the 

 Hon. Lucy Maria Kerr to be one of the Maids of 

 Honour in Ordinary to her Majesty, in the room of the 

 Hon. Miss Lister. 



The King of Saxony.— His Majesty on Saturday 

 was at Bangor, North Wales, snd on that night slept at 

 the Royal Hotel, Chester. On Sundsy he arrived at 

 Liverpool, where he was received by the Mayor and other 

 authorities. After inspecting the town, &c, his Majesty 

 proceeded to Manchester and visited several manufac- 

 tories and other objects of interest. It is said that his 

 Majesty will leave Great Britain on the 3lst inst , and 

 embark at Granton Pier, Edinburgh, on board the 

 Princess Alice steam-packet, which will be there in 

 readiness to receive the King, and convey him to 

 Hamburg. 



Parliamentary Movement* The official declaration 



of the poll at Birmingham took place on Monday, when 



Powers, and therefore counselled great reserve in 

 the extension of the steam navy. He wished the 

 Government to be attentive to the proceedings of 

 England in that respect, and her example to be 

 followed. He above all attached great importance 

 to the condition of the officers and crews, and wished 

 a squadron to be always fitted out, as being the best 

 means of securing strength to the naval force of Franco. 

 M. Billault entered into further details of Admiral 

 Lalande's views ; and after paying a tribute to the know- 

 ledge, zeal, and services of the Prince de Joinville, said 

 that his Royal Highness had suffered himself to be daz- 

 zled by powerful innovations, which would not however 

 produce a revolution in naval ascendancy. — Important 

 advices bad been received from Oran of the 6th of 

 July. On the 3d another engagement took place be- 

 tween the French troops and those of Morocco, within 

 the Moorish territory. A considerable body of Moors, 

 who had been dispersed in the affair of the 15th, had re- 

 assembled, and appeared to wish to provoke the French 

 general to attack them. Marshal Bugeaud sent a body 

 of his troops against the enemy and dispersed them. 

 There was no doubt that Abd-el-Kader commanded. 

 The Marshal in his despatch states that several Moors 

 were killed, and a few horses captured; but the infantry 

 was so far behind he could not engage them. "This 

 engagement," he adds, " has had little or no material 

 results, because the enemy offered no resistance, and 

 we had only to encounter its cavalry ; but it secures 

 to us a considerable moral advantage. We shall 

 have once more proved to the Moors that we do 

 not dread war, and that they are incapable of com- 

 peting with us in a serious engagement" — The 

 Gibraltar papers of the 26th ult. state that, in the 

 morning of that day, the Vesuvius British steamer sailed 

 for Tangiers for the purpose, it was said, of taking on 

 board the English Consul-General, and conveying him 

 to Mogador. The Consul was commissioned by his 

 Government to hand to the Emperor a sealed despatch, 

 brought to him by the Prometheus steamer. — The papers 

 dwell upon the recall of Rear- Admiral de Moges from 

 the command of the station of the Antilles and Gulf of 

 Mexico ; and, referring to the occurrences at St. Domingo, 

 represent it as a disgrace arising from political motives, 

 similar to those which lately induced the French Govern- 

 ment not to approve of the proceedings of Admiral 

 Dupetit Thouars in the Pacific ; but an official article in 

 the Messager of Sunday evening affirms that Admiral de 

 Moges had held his command three years, and had re- 

 peatedly expressed the wi*h to return to France. — The 

 papers describe the religious ceremonies observed in the 

 presr e of the royal family on the anniversary of the 

 death of the Duke of Orleans, and the christening of the 

 Due d'Alencon, the infant son of the Duke and Duchess 

 of Nemours, who was born on Friday last. The young 

 prince was named M Ferdinand-Philippe-Marie." The 

 ceremony was performed by the Archbishop of Paris, in 

 the presence of the King, Queen, and royal family, ic 

 eluding the King and Queen of the Belgians. The god- 

 father of the young prince was the King of Portugal, 

 represented by his Ambassador in Paris. The Princess 

 of Joinville acted as godmother for the Duchess o( Saxe 

 Coburg Gotha, mother of the Duchess de Nemours.—
