and as I was a passin\u2019 Mr.Wilcox\u2019s inn, who should I see but him.1 knowed him the moment I seed him, for 1 had met him to London the year before, when he was only a member of Parliament; and since the Reform Bill, you know, folks don\u2019t make no more account of a member than an alderman ; indeed since I have moved in the first circles I've rather kept out of their way, for they arn\u2019t thought very good company in a general way, | can tell you.Well, as soon us J met him | knowed bim at once, but 1 warn\u2019t a goin\u2019 for to speak to him fust, seein\u2019 that he become a big bug since, and p\u2019raps would\u2019nt talk to the likes of me.But up he comes in a mint, and makes a low bow\u2014he had a very carious bow.It was jist a stiff low bend forrard, as a feller does afore he goes to take an everlastin\u2019 jump; and sais he, * How do you do, Mr.Slick ?will you do me the favour to walk in and sit down awhile; I want to talk to yoo.\u2019 * We are endeavourin\u2019, you see,\u2019 said he, \u2018 to assimilate matters here as much as possible to what exists in your country.\u201d \u201cSo I see,\u2019 sais I; \u201cbut I am ashamed to say, Il don\u2019t exactly comprehend what responsible Government is in a colony.\u2019\u2014 ¢ Well,\u2019 sais be, \u201cit aint easy of definition, but it will worls itself out, and adjust itself in practice \u2014 1 have given them a fresh hare to ruv, and that is a great matter.Their attention is taken off from old sources of strife, and fixed on this.I have broken up all old parties, shuffled the cards, and given them a new deal and new partners,\u2019 ¢ Well,\u201d sais I, © it warn\u2019t a bad idee, that, of givin\u2019 em \u2018a fresh bare to run,\u2019 it wasgiand.You had nothin\u2019 to do but to start the hare, say stuboy,\u2019 clap your hands ever so loud, and off goes the whole pack of yelpin\u2019 curs at his heels like wink.It\u2019s kept them from jumpin\u2019 and fawnin\u2019, and éryin\u2019, and craviw\u2019, and pawin\u2019 on you fur everlastin\u2019, for some- thin\u2019 to eat, and a botherin\u2019 of you, and a spiliu\u2019 of your clothes, don\u2019t it?You give \u2019em the dodge properly that time; you got that lesson from the Indgin dogs on the Mississippi, I gness, didn°t you ?* No)\u2019 said he, lockin\u2019 one half out of sorts and t'other half nobsquizzled : \u201c no, l Was never there; sais he.\u2018 Not there,\u2019 sais 1, * why you don\u2019t say so! Not there ?well, it passes all; for it\u2019s the identical same dodge.When a dog wants to cross the river there, he goes to a pint of land that stretches away out into the water, and sits down on his hind legs, and cries at the tip eend of his voice, most pitüous, and howls so it would make your heart break to hear him.It\u2019s the most horrid, dismal, solemcoly sound you ever knowed.Well, he keeps up this tune for the matter of half-an-hour, till the river.and the woos ring again.AH tho crocodiles for three miles up and three miles down, as soon as they hear it, run as hard as they can lick to the spot,.for they are very humane boys them, cry like women at nothin\u2019 a\u2019most, and always go where any critfer is in distress, and drag him right out/of it.Well, as soon as the dog has \u2019em ail colléctéd; at a charity ball like, awaitin\u2019 for their supper, and a- lickin\u2019 of their chops, off he starts, hot foot, down the bank of the river for a mile or so, and then souses right in and swims across as fast as he can pull for it,and gives them the slip beautiful.Now your dodge aud the Mississippi dog is so much alike, I'd a bet any thing a\u2019most, you took the hint from:him.\u2019 \u201c Wat a capital story! * said he ; ¢ how uncommon good! upon my word it\u2019s very apt ;\u2019 jist then steam boat bell rung, and he off to the river too, and give me the dodge.15 Well, they\u2019ve got tired of the chase at last- arter the hare, for they hante been able to .oatch.it.They ve returned on the tracks from wherb they started, and stand starin\u2019 at each other like fools.For the fast time they begin\u2019 to ax themselves the question, what is responsible government?Well, they don\u2019t knpw, and they axe the Governor, and he don\u2019t know, and he axes Lord John, the Colonial Secretary, and he don\u2019t know.At last Lord John looks wise and sais, * its not onlike preroga- tive\u2014its existence is admitted\u2014its only its exercise is questioned.\u201d Well, the Governor looks wise and sais the same, and the people repeat over the words after him \u2014look puzzled, and say they don\u2019t exact ly understand the answer nother.Ii reminds me of what happened to me oncet to Brussels.| was on the top of a coach there, a goin\u2019 down that dreadful steep hill there, not that it is so awful steep nother; Lut hills are curiosities there, they are so scarce, and every little sharp pinch is called a higü hill\u2014jist as every sizeable hill to Nova Sco- tia is called a mountain.Well, sais the coachman to me, \u2018 Tournez le Mechanique\u201d I didu\u2019t know what the devil he meapt\u20141I1 didn\u2019t understand French \u2018when its talked that way, and don\u2019t now.-must speak very slow in French for me to guess A man what he wants.* What in natur\u2019 is that ?\u2019 sais |; but as he.did'nt understand English he jist wrapt itupin three yards more of French, dad gave it back to me agin.So there was a pair of us.Well, they began to go down hill like winky, and the pas- sebigèrs put their Heads obt of the windows and bawled out © Tournez le Mechsuique,\u2019, and the coachman roared it out, and so did people on the | streets ;

and the repairs, insurance and replacing of capital in the ships, £4,500,000 more.In the trade between Britain and India, and China, 10,000 seamen are employed at a sigiilar rate.Thoÿ wages, provisions, &ec., will amount to £500,000 3 and the replacement of capital, and insurance to £840,000; in all, £1,340,000.The whole, or very nearly the whole of the supplies nocessary to maintain these seamen and tonnage, are the productions of British soil and labour ; and this, in a national point of view, shows the superiority of such a trade over a merely manufacturing commerce.A come parison of the trade of the eastern with that of the western world, taking the value'of imports and exports, stauds nearly thus :\u2014 From and to British North America and the West Indian colonies, £14,000,000; and from and to China and the East Indies, £16,000,000.It thus appears that the former commerce requires nearly five times more ships, tonnage and seamen, to carry it on, than the latter ; thereby affording an incalculable advantage to a naval power, and the support of a naval force, and also to the employment of British agricultural labor and capital.le appears that the weight of cotton yarn and goods exported from England anvually, is 120,000 tons ; and the value in round numbers being £23,500,000, it follows that one half the tonnage employed in carrylog the West Indian exports, (viz: £2,882,441,) would be sufficient to carry the whole cotton export trade of the country; and, as regards the North, American trade, ontsseventh of the tonnage wonld be sufficient.While the trade with the West Iodies and British North America (in exports nad imports .about£14,000,000° yearly) employs 2,900 ships 970 000 tons, that with the United States [in exports, and imports £22,000,000,] gives employment;-to 350 ships, 233,000 tons.The imports from China.are valüed at about Æ5,000,000, brought in 84 ships, about 89,712 tons.CiRCUMSTANTIAL Evipence\u2014The Bombay Courier mentions the following as one of the most remarkable instances of the fallaoy of circumstantial evidence on record : \u201c À peasant named Bhamia, an inhabitant of Ghotowlee, a village n the {Tasnah Collectorate, having been maltreated by three of his fellow vil lagers, summoned them before the Mamlutda, a native magistrate, and a day was appointed for their appearance.In the meanwhile Bhamia, meeting four Sepoys in the Compapy\u2019s service, was compelled by them to carry a portion of their baggage as far as Poonah, where he fell sick, and they were obliged to leave him behind.The friends of the missiog man alarmed at his disappearance, aud knowing nothing of the cause of it, susproted that the three villagers had made away with tim, and had them taken before the Mamlutda, who, finding no evidence to criminate them, ordered them to be bastinadoed until they should confess their guilt.To put an end to the torture they were suffering, they eventually confessed they had murdered the man, and named the first place they could think of as containing the remains of their victim, and where as fate would have it, a corpse was actually found.They were subsequently brought to trial, when they loudly asserted their innocence, explaining the circumstances under which they had made a false confession of guilt.On examination the corpse was found to be that of a female, which had been baried for some time, which bore ne marks of violence upon it.The trial was postponed for some days to allow time for further inquiry.The first witness was under examination, when Bhamia himself, who bad returned homme, made his appearance in Court, and the prisoners were, of course, acquitted.Had not the body turned out to be that uf a female, or had not the supposed dead mass appeured in person, the prisoners would in all probesbility have been hung for.an imaginary murder, their own false confession undds torture having been so singularly corroborated.\u201d SNUFF TAKING ny Macminery\u2014The Leicester- \"shire Mercury says\u2014* An ingenious neighbour of our shas invented a novel, aud, to regular sniffers, highly convenieut little pocket tustrument, which bids fair to render unfashionable the dirty practice of thrusting the finger and thumb ever and anos into the coutents of the souiF-Lox.It consists of a- peat waistcoat pocket box, terminating at one end with a one, precisely similar to that on the énd of the sportsman\u2019s powder\u2014flask, which on being invert ed with the thumb, tills with snuff, just as that on: the flask Gills with powder.This done, the conicak part is placed against the nostril, as you would hold i a swelling bottle, and a second spriug is set at liber- i ty by a touch, wheo the whole charge is instantly i.injested into the opening,tinding its way into every | crevice of the chamber, and producing 10 the veteran snufi~taker the most complete and satisfaoto?y \u2018sen\u2014 .sation.Ît should be stated that there is a sliding adjustment in the cone, so that the quantity for the- gharge may be regulated to suit the usual capacity » of the taker.\u2014Those boxes can be made with a tobe aud discharged for each nostril, which may be work.| ed simultanaously or single, so that a broadside or a single shot may Le fired, as may suit the inclination of the owner.\u201d 4, I = es Cg et ETES WPA a Tg: + emma = A 60 su Pin 3: rm RE «TR FOE SIT LST SMR EE arab \u2014\u2014 tae oo = gral AULA a oa de fds I x RARE, À performing many gallant exploits in the Mediterra- er ta FE: NG ERIE ANE, J, Wi.Kg.we SRR ia (mah.+ READ TIA NS RM GRR 3 Fi a Err, fae Tm SARS E tracts Crom Baglish Pape: BY THE CAMBRIA.\u2014\u2014_ Charles' Willmer\u2019s American News Letter, Liverpool, Juny.1th.) The Canada Corn Bill was discussed the other day at a meeting of the Essex Agricaltural Protection Saciety.The society determined to abstain, with its present neccessarily imperfect information, from the expression of any opinion on the effect of that law; but its abstinence as a body not being intended to silence its members individually, two gentlemen offered their views.The complaiot of tl ese gentlemen was not so wach against the law itself, but against the smuggling across the Caua- dian lines, to which they feared it must inevitably give rise.Fron \u2018Ibe year which has just closed has been one of | the most remarkable ever known in the commercial and manufacturing history of the country.It bas presented the cantrast of unexampled prosperity io | almost every branch of manufacturing industry, | with almost unexampled depression in the price of the raw materiuls employed in those manufactures.; From the beginning to the end of 1844, the course ; of prices has baffled all calculation, and las, in too many cases, inflicted enormous losses on individuals and communitics, With the exception of theim.porters of guano, timber, and shevp\u2019s wool, there 1s 00 class of merchants who have not lost money this year, and some have lost it te a frightful ex\u2014 | tent.The year, as a whole, has been as disastrous to Liverpoal as it has keen fortunate for Manchester, Happily, when things get to the worst they begin to mend, aud the geceral impression in Liverpool is that they are past tha worst, and that there is a prospect of a very extensive trade in the coming year, with improving prices, Mgr.(Congr ar WaTErrorp \u2014Mr, O'Con- nell held a bind of * monster meeting \u201d in Waterford, oo the 24:h ultimo.The approaches to the town were decorated with evergreens and bagners ;

or it may even assist a ship in the act of staying.OrriciaL Incoses\u2014The total number of persons whose incomes from the public money exceeds £1,000 a year, is 754.The highest sum in the list of civil officers is the allowance to the Lord Lieute- pant of Ireland, of £20,000;

that it was deposited in some ijustitutions or with private individuals.The absence of his clerk of the con.tingeut fund had prevented him from settling with the committee.He would undertake to settle his accounts and pay every dollar, before 10 o'clock tomorrow.After soma farther proceedings it was ordered that Mr.McNulty be allowed till to-morrow at one o'clock to respond farther, WasHiNOTUN January, 18th, } 4 o'clock, P.M.At oue o'clock, the House took up the resolution for the expulsion of C.J.McNulty, as clerk of the House, directing that steps ba taken to secure the public money due, und requesting the President to cause a criminal prosecution to be instituted agaiust him and all who participated with him in embezzling the public money.Mr.Taylor, chairman of the committee on accounts, said, in relation, that the clerk had not appeared Lefore them, according to promise; that his confidential clerk, upon whose arrival the accounts were to ho settled, appeared and prosented some vouchers fur expenditures; but thar, being asked where the money was, he said THAT was for McNully | lo say, The committee had just now received n letter | from Mr.McNulty, saying that he had £9,000 in the Bank of America.Ile produced no certificate of deposite, and did pot offer to pay the money.The committee felt deeply indignant at the clerk\u2019s contnmely and ill conduct.They said that he hud uo right to deposite the money any where out of the city, or to make any transfer of it.A letter was read to the committee from the firm of Suydam & Co, of New York sayinz that io June last the clerk sent them 510,000 to be put to the credit of Messrs.Woodward, of Mouut Vernon, Ohio \u2014They paid the money accordingly,and knew nothing further of the transaction.The resolution was agreed to, yeas 196, nays none.The next resolution, for the security of the money, was agieed to.The resolution directing a crimival prosecutica against McNulty was debated.lt was oppused Ly Mr.Duncan, ou the ground that the law did not designate the depusitors.À member bere asked, if Mr, Woodward of Ohio, and Me.Slamm of New York were legal depositories.The resolution final ly passed.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CANADA.PE mee EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT uF THE TORONTO BOARD OF TRADE.* From the representations made your committee by creditable individuals, there is every reason to believe that a very extensive illicit trade in several articles of import from the United States is now successfully prosecuted in this district and throngh- out the Province.Tobacco, coffee, and tea, have beeu particularly instanced.The duty on tobacco is equal, on the great bulk of the imports, to GU or 70 per cent, on the price in New York, \u2018The fair trader who purchases there, aud pays the duty of 3 pence per lb.here, lays down the article at about 20 per cent.over the price at which it is often sold Ly auction in Lower Canada, sud forwarded to this place.Thus the advantage gained by our citizens in having au elficient revenue service here, is merely to turn the import trade in such articles out of the hands of our fair dealers, and to transfer it into thuse of the Eastern Towoship frontier-smugglers, There is just une means of preventing smuggling in Canada, and uo other need be tried.We must reduce our import duties to that point at which the temptation to smuggle is no longer held out.The establishment of Preventive Services would be alike inefficient and burthensome.By a suitable reduction of the present duties, the public Revenue will be materially aurmented ; by their continuance it will be seriously injured.\u201d « Some late reforms in the Post Office Depart-! ment call for the grateful acknowledgments of the | commercial class, Itis, however, much to be desired that a larger measure of redress may soou be! conceded.The establishment of the penny rate of postage in England may well be regarded as the most momentous reform of modern times; whilst the complete success of the measure must serve as a brilliant beacon to light other nations on the path of / amelioration, So highly indeed do your committee appreciate this system, that they would consider a participation in its benefits an important boon.But ! if so great a reduction might be deemed inexpedient, .an experiment on a less reduced scale might Le tried.A maximum rate of postage, equal to Gd.per half ounce, and a minimum rate of 2d.for any distance under 100 miles, with intermediate rates, would, there is reason to believe, be found adequate to all the requirements of the Provincial Post Office service ; and would be felt as a very valuable improvement upon the present rates.It is therefore hoped, that this subject may receive general consideration, and that the commercial class, in particular, will see the importance of giving to it early attention.\u201d Mo~TREAL, Jany.28.\u2014We have to record a lamentable instance of gelf-destruction, which occurred here on Sunday morning.Between nine and ten o\u2019clock, nn individual named James Cor- coran, in the employ of Messrs.Watson & Ewiog, and residing in St.Bernard Street, off Bleury Street, went out on Lhe ice opposite the Artillery Barracks, when near that part of the Current St.Mary, which owing to the rapidity of the stream is vot frozen over, he was seen by parties on shore deliberately to strip off the greater part of his clothes and throw himself into the water, Before any person could reach the spot he had entirely disappeared.He had attended divine service early the same morning at the Recollet Church; on re- taroing home, he complained that he was unwell, and almost immediately went out again, after which his family saw him no more.He had been for some time in a desponding state of mind.His body has not yet been found.\u2014( Gazette.)

for if 12 bills require 2 months\u2019 deliberation, then, if our arithmetic serves us, 90 bills will require 15 months, As regards the expence, the Provincial Exchequer, we guess, would be enabled to furnish aprelly correct reply to that interrogatory.Our prospects, it must be confessed, are any thing but fat, Murney, Papineau, Petrie, Robinson, Roblin,\u2019 Seymour, Sherwood (Toronto), Smith (Frontenac), an extraordinarily long and expensive session, or one which may be suddenly terminated by some unforeseen contingency, hefore the most important measures have been arrived at.« MonTREAL, Tuesday, 28th Jany., 1845, ¢ It is just two months to-day, since the Legislature met.They have talked hard, but done little work ; and perhaps it is as well ; for nearly all that has been done in the way of legislation for several years past, at an enormous expense, had better been left undone.The Assembly has, however, nearly seven hundred petitions before it, a great proportion of them asking for votes of money.They have ninety bills on their list; about a dozen of which have passed that branch, and some of them in the Legislative Council, Most of the bills are for local objects ; some of them, however, are of importance, as affecting the existence of or altering laws long in force, or for raising money from the subject, * This appears indeed to be the great object of our legislative bodies, whether provincial orlocal.The money once raised, somebody profits by it.Peco- ple, however, are beginning to quarrel about on whom the taxes ought to be imposed ; few look to how the money is disposed of after it is raised, Indeed, if any attention is given to this matter, it is who shall have the disposal of it?or who shall get most of it ?¢ The good citizens of Montreal, of particular classes, intended to be taxed by their City Representatives, are beginning to cry out we vught not to be taxed.They have no objection however that other people should, and they also seem to care little what becomes of the money; a proposed debt of a hundred and fifty thousand pounds, in addition to the revenue from taxes does not alarm them.There have no doubt been many improvements at Montreal ; but there is quite the contrary of improvements in | the security of person and property.You cannot walk the streets without being in danger of falling inte pits dug in the snow before the doors on the side walks, and if you venture into the middle of the streets you are in imminent danger of being killed by furious driving.Beggars and shop-hoys parading before the doors, question or stop foot passengers, and the impudent \u2018\u2018 wanl à sleigh ?°° assails all descriptions of decently dressed persons.I say nothing of the political and even religious animosities which hav?produced bloodshed in the streets; and which would have been much worse, but for the military force resorted to on the occasion; certainly not much to the credit of the Provincial and City Government, or to those engaged in the strife on both sides.These animosities it is to be hoped, however, are passing away ; but there are many still disposed to keep thew up, \u201cThe United States mail to-day did not bring the letters by the Cambria.The debate on the famous Texas annexation question, which has been continued in the United States House of Representatives | for a month, was to close on Saturday last, the 25th | instant.\u201d ! ¢ MoxTieal, Wednesday, 29th Jai, 1845.| ¢ There was little doing in the Legislature last | evening.The Assembly was occupied three or! four hours in talking about a newspaper paragraph | in the Herald, reflecting on an Election Commitiee and some of its Members.It was proposed to bring ; up the publisher, but the affair was got rid of by the | ; previous question, nine majority being against put- | ting the question, They might hang the printer and publisher, and it would not mend the character of | the committee if it has received any injury.Im.prisoament, &c., would only increase the circulation of his paper, Po The orders of the day were disposed of about i ten o\u2019clock, when the house adjourned.\u20ac\u2018 Only between 50 and 60 of the B4 members are j usually in attendance at the sittings.: « À Message from the Governor was received | yesterday, recommending measures for the protection of the people along the line of the canals from | the labourers employed, The sufferings, losses and { fears of the inhabitants, as detailed in statements on \u2018oath, are afflicting, The neighbourhood of pirates and robbers could not be more intolerable, and when it is known that this infliction is brought upon peaceable people by the expenditure of public money, there is opened a wild field for reflection on the wisdom and management of public men and public affairs, « The English papers and letters by the Cambria were received this forenoon.It has been raining great pait of last night: this morning the pitfalls dug before the doors are filled with water.The Corporation has been posting up printed notices to remedy the stale of the streets, and people are at work ; but it is evident that the rezulations are imperfectly know by placarding.The old fashion of publication by the Bell-man, was much better.¢¢ The following may be of some use to speculators in militia scrip and militia lands :\u2014 e Crown LANDs DEPARTMENT, Kingston, 20th Feby., 1844.Individuals entitled to the Militia Bounty, agreeably to the Proclamation issued this day : \u2014 The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, (or Canadian Chasseurs), and six:h Battalions of select and Embodied Militia The Militia Sta.on active duty, « Canadian Voltigeurs.* Frontier Light Infantry, ¢ Canadian Voyageurs.Commissariat Voyageurs.Provincial Light Dragoons.* Canadian Dragoons.** Corps of Guides.Militia Artillery, \u2026 te Militia Artillery Drivers.To which may be added, Such Officersand Men, without reference to the Corps in which they served.who may havebeen wounded or taken prisoners, and the representatives of such as may have been killed in action with the enemy.In cases where the service was performed by substitute, such substitute only is to obtain the bounty, Where the Militiaman is dead, and in the absence of a will, the following persons, in the order in which they stand, will be recognised as his representatives and entitled accordingly, namely : \u2014 1st.\u2014~\"The Widow, ond.\u2014\"The Children.Srd.\u2014 The Father and Mother, or the Survivor.4th.\u2014 And lastly, the Brothers and Sisters equally.For a Lieutenant Colonel, Serip to the emount of £240, being the commuted value of 1200 acres of land, at 4s, per acre.I'or n Major, Scrip to the amount of £200, being the commuted value of 1000 acres of land.at 4s.per acre.For a Captain, Surgeon, or Pay-Masier, Scrip to the amount of £160, being the commuted value of 800 acres of land, at 4s.per acre.For a Subaitern, Assistant Surgeon.Adjuiant, or Quarter.Master, Scrip to the amount of £100, being the commuted value of 500 acres of land, at 4s.per acre.For a Sergeant-Major.or Qunrter- Master.Sergeant, Serip to the amount of £60.being the commuted value of 300 acres of land, at 4s.per acre, For n Sergeant, Scrip to the amount of £40, being the commuted value of 200 acres of land, at 4«.per acre, For a Corporal or Private, Scrip to the amount of £20, being the commuted value of 100 acres of land, at 4s.per acre.- ta The Committee of the Military Charitable Asylum at Quebec, desire to render their thankful acknowledgments for the sum of \u20ac11 16s.2d.received through the Ford Bishop of Montreal, being a contribution to the funds from Major Denny, the Officers, N.C.Officers, and men of the 71st Regi- : gumeuy- The following changes, it is reported, will.take place in the Regiments in this Command on the opening of the navigation, in May next :\u2014 14th Regiment, from Kingston to Laprairie.23d Regiment, from London, C.W., to Chambly and Sorel.52d Light Infantry, from Laprairie to Montreal, 60th Rifles, from Quebec to St.John\u2019s, 71st Light Infantry, from Chambly and Sorel to Kingston, 81st Regiment, from St, John\u2019s to London, C, W.89th Regiment, from Montreal to Quebec.(Mercury.)

the other half, subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent, annually, to be deducted at death, or paid offal convenience,\u2014 By this arrangement, it becomes easy for a person of moderate income to secure a provision for his family; and the policy may be relinquished on the acquisition \u2018of a fortune, within the five years, the Assured having paid one-half of the Premiums, instead of the whole, according to the usual Thus a person of 25 yearsold may, by an annual payment of £28 16s.3i., for the first years, and afterwards of the full premium, £57 12s.6d., secure to his widow and children at his death, payment of no less than £3,000, subject only to the deduction of £144 13s.3d., being the amount of premiums unpaid.A person requiring a temporary advance of money, may, also, in terms of this arrangement, should he within 5 years relinquish the policy of Assurance by means of which he has obtained the advance, give il up on payinent merely ol one-half of the Premiums instead of the whole, according to the usage of most other Offices.The great facilities afforded by the Company, in these and other respects, are such that it really appearsto be a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to sure his life for a sum which may yield a comforteble provision for his family.RATES OF PREMIUM.With Profits.Age, Without Profits.25 vu.£1 18 5 iene Æ2 2 11 percent, SO .\u2026.2 510 \u2026\u2026 2 8 2 do, 40 einer 219 1 .3 3 4 do.50 .e 4 6 0 .\u2026\u2026 410 7 do.60 ae 615 53 su 617 9 do.Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident Directors, Epwann Bovn, Esquire, and El Lennox Boyp, Esquire, of No.8, Waterloo Place, Pal, Mall, London ;
