HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF BUCCLEUGH AND QUEENSBERRY. VICE-PRESIDENTS. THE RIGHT HON. LORD GRAY. THE RIGHT HON. LORD ABERCROMBY. The Assurances effected last year amounted to nearly THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS. THE EXISTING ASSURANCES EXCEED TWO MILLIONS STERLING. THE ACCUMULATED FUND EXCEEDS THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS. THE ANNUAL REVENUE EXCEEDS EIGHTY THOUSAND POUNDS. THE PROFITS ARE ALLOCATED AMONGST THE POLICY HOLDERS EVERY THREE YEARS. The next Allocation takes place at 1st March, 1847. The SCOTTISH EQUITABLE being a MUTUAL ASSURANCE SOCIETY, their Profits are not, as in Proprietary Companies, divided between the Partners of the Companies and the Assured. The WHOLE belong to the Policy Holders. These PROFITS or BONUSES may, in the Option of the Assured, be applied thus :— 1st, They may be ADDED TO THE SUM ASSURED payable at death or 2nd, They may be COMMUTED INTO A PRESENT PAYMENT to the Policy Holders; or 3rd, They may be APPLIED IN REDUCTION OF THE FUTURE ANNUAL PREMIUMS.

This reserved Fund is now increased to FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS. EXAMPLE. A Policy effected before 1st March, 1832 for £ 2000, is now increased to TWO THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE POUNDS. If the person die after 1st March, 1846, his heirs will receive TWO THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED & NINETY- SIX POUNDS, being an addition of THIRTY-FIVE PER CENT. on the sum assured.

C AU'rION.-All Persons advertising Succedaneum J for Stopping decayed teeth, fraudulently attempt to imitate Mr. Clarke's original Succedaneum; and if any Succedaneum than Mr. Clarke's be purchased, it will be discovered useless. Mr. Clarke can say, without the slightest exaggeration, that he has sold 3,000 bottles of Succedaneum within 16 months; & 2,800 individuals have been able to use it successfully; and most of the other pur- chasers have been to Mr.Clarke, at his residence, 61, Lower Grosvenor-Street, London, to have their teeth stopped, without any further charge than the original cost of the Succedaneum, price 5s. Sold wholesale to all the che- mists in town and country; and none is genuine unless had through Messrs. Barclay and Sons, wholesale Medi- cine Warehouse, 95, Farringdon Street; Edwards and Son, 67, St. Paul's Church-yard; Hannay and Co., 63, Oxford Street; Colleck and Moseley, 139, Upper Thames Street, London; and other respectable wholesale Medi- cine Warehouses or Mr. Clarke can send it by post to any part of the United Kingdom, on receiving a Post- office order. FOR STOPPING DECAYED TEETH, HOWEVER LARGE THE CAVITY. Patronised by Her Majesty the Queen Dowaqrr, Her Poyal Jlifjhness the Duchess of Gloucester, Tits Grace the Duke of Wellington, and the principal Nobility. Mr. CLARKE'S SUCCEDANEUM for Stopping Decayed Teeth is far superior to anything ever used before, as it is placed in the tooth without any pressure or pain, be- comes as hard as the enamel immediately after applica- tion, and remains firm in the tooth for life; not only rendering extraction unnecessary, but also making them again useful for mastication. All persons can use Mr. CLARKE'S Succedaneum themselves with ease, as full directions are enclosed (price 5s.) and sold by all res- pectable medicine-vendors in town and country, and can be sent by post on receiving a Post-office order.—Pre- pared only by Mr. Clarke, Surgeon-dentist, 61, Grosvenor Street, Bond Street, (removed from 53, Harlcy-Street, Cavendish-Square.) LOSS OF TEETH. Mr. CLARKE still continues to supply the loss of teeth, from one to a complete set, upon his beautiful system of self-adhesion, which has procured him such universal approbation in some thousands of cases; and recom- mended by Sir James Clark, bart., M.D., and Dr. Locock, Physicians to Her Majesty, and numerous other mem- bers of the medical profession, as being the most in- genious system of supplying artificial teeth hitherto Invented. They are so contrived, as to adapt themselves over the most tender gums or remaining stumps without causing the least pain, renderig the operation of ex- traction quite unnecessary: and in order that his system may be within the reach of the most economical, he will continue the same moderate charges. Mr. Clarke, Sur- geon-dentist, No. 61, Grosvenor-Street, Bond-Street, London.—At home from eleven till four. Messrs.

ROWLAND'S KALYDOR AN EASTERN BOTANICAL DISCOVERY OF SURPRISING EFFICACY FOR RENDERING THE SKIN SOFT, CLEAR, AND FAIR, And for bestowing a healthy roseate lm8 on the COMPLEXION. AS a CREATOR and CONSERVATOR of a transpa- rentlyfair skin, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR may be said to exert an almost masrical power. BALMY, ODORIFEROUS, CREAMY, and perfectly free from all mineral admixture, it is distinguished for its ex- tremely bland, purifying, and soothing effect upon the skin while by its action on the pores and minute seeretery vessels, it expels all impurities from the surface, allai/s every tendency to inflammation, and ♦ bus effectually dissinates all REDfJESS, TAN. PIM- PLES, SPOTS. FRECKLES, DlSCOLOfUTlONS. and other nnsisrhtly Cutaneous Visitations. The radiant bloom it imparts to the CHEEK: the softness and delieaev which it induces on the HANDS, ARMS, and NECK; its capability of soothinar irritation, re- I moving Cutaneous Defects, and all unsightly appear- ances, render it indispensable to every Toilet. The constant and perseverintr use of this invaluable medicamentpreservesandinyigorates those important functions of the Skin on which depend its purity and softness-the Neck. Hands and Arms assuming and retaining the radiant whiteness so much admired, and nffording so unequivocal, a mark of attention to the niceties of the Toilet and: the graces of Personal Attraction. To GENTLEMEN, who suffer from tenderness and irritation of the face after Shaving, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR will have an unrivalled effect in alleviating and allaying irritation and smarting pain, and render- ing the skin soft and smooth. It is invaluable as a renovating and refreshing Wash during the heat and dust of Summer, or Frost and Bleak Winds of Winter an. in case of Sun-burn, Stings of Tnsects, Chilblains, Chapped-Skin, or Inci- dental Inflammation, its virtues have long and extensivelv been acknowledged. its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Continent of Eurone, to' qe.ther with the" elite" of the Aristocracy and" Haute Voleefrom the sultry climesof India, and the Drawing-rooms of Calcutta and Madras, to the frozen realms of the Czar and the SALONS of St. Petersburg and MoscHIV. This exotic preparation is perfectly innoxious, acting in all cases by promoting a healthy tone of the minute vessels, and is the most elegant as well as effective Toilet appendage hitherto submitted to universal I patronaqe. THE NURSERY.—One of the most important uses of this invaluable Preparation is its peculiar adapta. tion for the use of Children and the purposes of the Nurserv. As a wash for Infants it cannot be too strongly recommended cooling, bealitim, and innox- ious, it may be used by the most delicate lady or child with assurance of the most perfect safety and effect: it preserves and beautifies the young and tender pkin, and ensures it from derangement by I external causes. LADIES who, while nursing, suffer pain from sore or inflamed nipples, will find an unfailing relief in the KALYDOR; and from its peculiar power to allay irritation and cool the mouth, it renders pleasing and painless that most delightful task imposed by ma- ternal duty. CAUTION.—Tts high and universal reputation causes UNPRINCIPLED SHOP-KEEPERS to offer spurious Compounds for sale underthethe title of KALYDOR," composed of mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the Complexion, and bv their repellent action endangering health. It is therefore imperative on purchasers to see that the words ROWLAND'S KALYDOR" are on the Envelope (an Engraving of exquisite beauty from, a steel ulate by Messrs. PERKINS, BACON AND Co.

Extract oj a Letter from John Martin, Esq., Chronicle" Office, Tobago, West Indies February 4Ltli, 1816. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. g;rj—I beg to inform you that the inhabitants of this Island, especially those who cannot affoi di to employ medical gentlemen, are very anxious of having your astonishing Medicines within their reach y from the im- mense benefits some of them have derived from their use, as they have been found here, in several cases, to cure Sores and Ulcers of the most malignant and des- perate kind. One gentleman in this Island, who had, I believe, about fifty running ulcers about his legs, arms, and body, who had tried all other Medicines before the arrival of yours,, but all of which did him no good; but yours cured him in about six weeks, and he is now, by their means alone, quite restored to health and vigour. (Signed) JOHN MARTIN. PILES, FISTULAS, AND BEARINGS-DOWN. A remarkable Cure by these Pills and Ointment.-A half-pay lieutenant, lately residing at St. Heliers, Jersey, j whose name by request is omitted, had for three years suffered from piles and fistula, besides a general bearing down, of the most distressing nature. He had twice undergone an operation, but to no purpose, and at last gave himself up to despair. Yet, notwithstanding this complication of complaints, together with a debilitated constitution, he was completely cured of all his infir- mities and restored to the full enjoyment of health by these justly renowned medicines, when every other means had Extraordinary Cure in the West Indies, of Leprosy and other direful skin diseases. June 3rd, 18-H. Mr. Lewis Reedon, of Georgetown Demerara writes under the above date-that Holloway s Pills and Oint- ment have cured bad legs that no doctor could manage, ulcers and sores that were of the most dreadful descrip- tion, as likewise leprosy, blotches, scales and other skin diseases of the most frightful nature, and that the cures effected there by these wonderful medicines are so nume- rous and extraordinary as to astonish the whole population. Cancered Breast.- A Wonderful Circumstance. Copy of a Letter from Richard Bull, Bootmaker, Tatton, near Southampton. February 9th, 1845. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. Srit,-Tlic Lord has permitted to be wrought a wonderful cure of Cancers or Abscesses, of twelve years' standing, in my wife's breast. In the latter part of the time, eleven wounds were open at once. The Faculty declared the case as past cure, several pieces of bone had come away, and I expected that my poor wife would soon have been taken from me. It was then that a friend recommended the use of your Pills and Ointment, which to our utter astonishment, in the space of about three months, healod up the breast as soundly as ever it was in her life. I shall ever remain Your most grateful and obedient servant, (Signed) "RICHARD BULL." Wheezing on the Chest and Shortness of Breath. Copy of a Letter from Mr. Jeremiah Casey, No. 1, Compton-place, Compton-slreet, Brunswick-square, London, April 25th, 1845. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,-I beg to inform you that I believe I had been for more than three years, one of the greatest sufferers in the world with Chronic Asthma. For weeks together my breath was frequently so short that I was afraid every moment of being choked with phlegm. I never went into a bed very often, indeed, I have been obliged to pass the night without being able to recline sufficiently to lay mv head on a table, lest I should be suffocated. No one thought I should live over the winter, nor did I expect it myself; but I am happy to say that I am now able to work from morning to night, and that I sleep as well as, ever I did in my life: and this miracle (I may say) was effected bv rubbing your invaluable Ointment twice a day into my chest, and taking ten of your Pills at bed-time, and ten again in the morning, for about three months. (Signed) JEREMIAH CASEY. In all Diseases of the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds and Ulcers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers, Tumours, Swellings, Gout, Rheu- matism, and Lumbago, likewise in cases of Piles; Holloway's Pills, in all the above esses, ought to be used with the Ointment; as by this means cures will be effected with a much greater certainty, and in half the time that it would require by using the Ointment alone. The Ointment is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of Moschettoes, Sand-flies, Chiego-foot, Yaws, and Coco-bay and all skin Diseases, common to the East and West Indies, and other tropical clinics. Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also Bunions and Soft Corns, will be immediately cured by the use of the Ointment.

URVIKWS or THE WOLLK. Mr. La".NTert bein" a regularly educated member of the medical profession, and possessed of the highest qualifications, is a strong inducement alone to recommend his work to the perusal of all who feel interested in such matters, for it 1.4 a subject of as much importance to the moralist as to the me- dical practitioner; and it really is surprising to see that nothing worthy of notice is to be found on a matter so im- portant in the various writings of standard authors. This cir- cumstance app ars remarkable and unaccountable, when ex- perience has showlI that local weaknesses and imperfections, either hereditary or acquired, constitute the great majority, perhaps nine-tenths of the causes of nervousness, mental imbecility, and constitutional weakness. We must confess we are astonished at the extent of human suffering, anxiety, and misery which is pourtrayed in this work, as emanating from peculiar causes, which are not less ruinous, because they are not supposed to exist, Unlovtunat ly, there is a t'alse de- licacy and trotinein,-nt in the present ap, which rather seeks to gloss over immorality than to combat and subdue it. We can only say, that every one who reads this extra- ord;lary work will he gratified and cntightencd by its peru- sal. -lLuLw.\y BELL. Unquestionably this is the most extraordinary and skilful work ot the kind ever written. It breathes, throughout, a high tone of moral feeling, and ought to be extensively (-it- culated: for it is quite evident that there arc peculiar habits acquired at public schools and private seminaries, which are totally unknown and concealed from the conductors of those establishments, and which cannot be too strongly reprobated and condemned. The author has taken up the subject in a masterly and perspicuous style; and being written by a duly qualified medical practitioner, will doubtless be the means of saving mail 3- a youth, as well as those of mature a-e from the various ei-ii consequences resulting from such rx.

MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE.j
MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. Her Majesty will hold a Chapter of the Order of the Garter, at Windsor Castle, on Monday the 19th instant, at half-past two o'clock. The I Constitutional' says- It appears that it will be during the stay of the Royal family at Neuilly, in the months of May and June, that the Queen of England will again visit France. Considerable works in cleaning and improving are going on Neuilly. From that resi- dence the young Queen will come to Paris, and pro- ceed to Versailles, where some grand fetes will be offered to her." Another vestry meeting was yesterday held at Wind- sor, on the subject of the rating of Prince Albert's farm, when a resolution was passed to the effect that the vestry were now fully aware that his Royal Highness was not liable to the rate. The Duke of Buccleuch, the Lord President elect of the Council, is understood to have obtained an accession of E25,000 per annum to his grace's large rent-roll, by the recent demise of his uncle, Lord Montagu. It is stated that Lord Waterpark will be brought forward, on the liberal interest, for the vacant borough of Lichfield. The Duke of Wellington has had invitations issued for his customary parliamentary banquet on the 21st instant, the eve preceding the assembling of both houses of Parliament. Above sixty Conservative peers are invited.—Sir Robert Peel will entertain a circle of above forty of the leading ministerial supporters on the 21st instant. The banquet is to take place in the spacious picture gallery. It is confidently stated that Lord Lyttleton will suc- ceed Mr. Hope, as Under-Secretary for the Colonies. Mr. J. Ridls has, by an order from the Lords of the Treasury, been restored to his former situation of land- ing waiter in her Majesty's Customs, and all arrears of salary, amounting to nearly EI,000 are to be paid him, and he is to be promoted on the first vacancy. Mr. Rolls was dismissed nearly three years since, by the Commissioners of Customs, for the alleged concealment of an overture made to him to defraud the revenue but he has established his innocence to the satisfaction of the Lords of the Treasury, and his restoration is the consequence. The board refused to alter their determi- nation, or, in other words, to do justice to an old and worthy officer, until compelled to do so by a higher and more honourable authority—the Lords of the Treasury. The election of a member to serve in Parliament for the county of Herts, in the place of Lord Grimston, who is called to the Upper House of Parliament by the de- cease of his father. Lord Verulam, was held on Thurs- day, when Mr. T. P. Halsey was returned without op- position. The Hyderabad prize-money has been fixed at £ 400,000. Sir Charles Napier's share will be one- sixteenth, or f25,000 as there were but two lieu- tenant-colonels, seven majors, nine captains, and twenty- two subalterns, at Meanee, their respective shares will be handsome. It is in contemplation by several of the leading Jews of London, to establish a workhouse or an asylum in the metropolis for the destitute of their race. A white hare was shot at Greendown wood, on Tues- day last, by the gamekeeper of Sir George Tyler. Two white hares were sent from Scotland, at Christ- mas, to Mr. Cameron, drusigist, of Preston. Another child died in London from the use of God- frey's cordial, administered by the mother, a few days ago. It is not so generally known as it ought to be, that pounded alum possesses the property of purifying water. A pailful, containing four gallons, may be purified by a single tea-spoonful. A letter from Frankfort of the 3d says—" This morn- ing the melancholy intelligence was spread here of a collision between two locomotives on the railway near Manheim. The number of persons killed or wounded is said to amount to forty." Two copies of the first edition of Luther's Bible, with wood-cuts after designs by Albert Durer and Lucas Cranach, were recently sold by auction respectively for £5 2s. 6d. and ES los. During the past 15 years the annual number of pri- soners at the Central Criminal Court has been rather above 3,000 and during that period it is pleasing to find that juvenile delinquency" has been reduced more than one-half. Upwards of 1,000 operatives in the twist and warp branches of trade are at present out of employment at Nottingham. A public meeting has been held, and a sub- scription entered into for their relief. j A machine for ship-bread baking has just been in- vented, which is exceedingly complicated in its con- struction, and capable of making 250 biscuits, with the name of the maker impressed thereon, in one minute. A lamentable accidcnt happened on Saturday last near Zivelle, in Holland. Fifteen persons were crossing the river from Haarlem in a small boat, when it upset in the middle of the river, and every person, including the boatman, perished. Most of these unfortunate creatures have left families in poverty. The well-known chemist, Liebig, has just been created Baron by the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt. Mr. Murray, younger, of Philiphaugh, has addressed the electors of Selkirkshire as a total and immediate corn-law repealer. We rejoice that the Duke of Buc- cleuch is not to be allowed to have it all his own way this time. The new writ will be moved for immediately upon the meeting of parliament. By a Royal ordonance of the King of the French, dated the 30th, Mr. Redman, the English Consul at Mazagan, has been named Knight of the Legion of Honour, for his humane conduct towards the ship- wrecked sufferers of the Papin. The Great Western Railway Company have very re- cently provided baths, at one halfpenny, for their nume- rous workmen at the Swindon-station. A laundry is in progress, and will shortly be opened. The Paris Siecle publishes a letter from Berlin, stating that the Emperor of Russia, after a sojourn of only forty-eight hours in Vienna, had started on the 31st for St. Petersburgh, passing by Cracow, in order to avoid the Duchy of Posen, where the greatest political excite- ment continues to prevail. This is the first time," observes the Siecle, that the Czar has gone into Ger- many without paying a visit to the royal family of Prussia." The latest accounts of the health of the King of Wur- temburg are of a more favourable character. An inquest was held at Liverpool on Thursday, on the body of Ann Devaney, one of the sufferers by the recent bursting of the tank at the Harrington Water works, when the jury, after receiving scientific and other evidence, returned a verdict of "Manslaughter" against Joseph Howell, the manager of the Ilawarden Iron-works, and a deodaud of £ 100 on the tank. A fatal railway accident took place on Thursday, on the works of the South-Eastern Branch Railway, be- tween Canterbury and Minster, by which one poor man, a labourer, was killed on the spot, and two others se- verely inj ured. The Registrar of Seamen has been directed by the Lords of the Privy Council for Trade to superintend the operation of the act 8 and 9 Victoria, cap. 11(3, passed last session for the protection of seamen entering on board vessels, and to exercise a control over the persons licensed under the provisions of the aforesaid act. There was a very numerous attendance at the com- mittee-room of the Agricultural Protection Society last week. A strong determination was evinced to maintain the existing amount of protection, whatever may be the measures brought forward by the Government. His Grace the Duke of Richmond was in the chair; and Lord Beaumont, Mr. Newdegate, M.P., Mr. Knight, M.P., Mr. Stafford O'Brien, M.P., Mr. Wodehouse, M.P., Mr. Baker, of Writtle Mr. Fisher Hobbs, with many other members of the committee, and representa- tives of the country societies, were present. A special general meeting of the society was summoned for Mon- day, the 12th instant, at one o'clock. Meetings in support of protection to agriculture, and against any alteration of the corn-laws, have been held as follows :-At Steyning, of the Sussex Protection So- ciety at Botley, South Hants and at Bridport, of the West Dorset Protection Society.—At Newport Pagnell, of the South Bucks Protection Society at King's Lynn, of the West Norfolk Protection Association at East Grimstead, of the Sussex Society for the Protection of Agriculture; at Waltham, of the Waltham Protection Society at Lichfield, Wolverhampton, Derby Exeter, Blandford, Cambridge, Great Grimsby, Leicester, Ashby- de-la-Zouch, and East Norfolk. Meetings for the repeal of the Corn-laws, and in favour of free-trade, have been held at the Ward of Cripplegate-within, Hastings, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Mussolburg, Liverpool, Runderland, Kendal, Carlisle, and Hertford. In a case of affiliation at the Keele Petty Sessions, after the evidence had been taken, and an order for payment made, Captain Mainwaring said to the young man (who acknowledged that he was the father of the child) You had better marry the young woman she is a nice, good-tempered person, and I am sure a mo- dest one, from the way in which she has answered my questions. I undertake to say she'll make an excellent wife. Now come,—have you any objection to marrying her?" "No," responded the man, none whatever." And," said Mr. Ramsbottom to the girl, you surely will not refuse to have such a good-humoured, well- disposed fellow for a husband ?" She signified that she was nothing loth. Then," said the gallant Captain to the man, let the bands be published without missing another Sunday, and be glad that you are likely to be so well married for depend upon it you could not do better, if you searched the country through." The parties left the room in good humour with themselves, and with the magistrates and who can tell how much happiness this kind interposition may have occasioned, or what degradation and misery it may have saved one or both of them from.
IRETIREMENT OF MR. GLADSTONE…
RETIREMENT OF MR. GLADSTONE FROM I NEWARK. I Mr. Gladstone has addressed the following letter to I his eonstituents To the Electors of Newark. I GENTLEMEN,—By accepting the office of Secretary of State for the Colonies, I have ceased to be your re- presentative in Parliament. On several accounts, I should have been peculiarly desirous at the present time of giving you an opportunity to pronounce your constitutional judgment on my public conduct, by soliciting at your hands a renewal of the trust which I have already received from you on fire successive occasions, and held during a period of thirteen years. But as I have good reason to believe, that a candidate recommended to your favour through local connection may ask your suffrages, it becomes my very painful duty to announce to you, on that ground alone, my retirement from a position which has afforded me so much of honour and of satisfaction. I shall ever retain, Gentlemen, happy recollections of your confidence and of your indulgence and though I may no longer stand in any formal relation to you, I shall continue to feel a lively desire that every blessing may attend the borough and its inhabitants. Indepen- dently, however, of any such prospective relation, it is my duty to render to you some account of that step by which my seat has been vacated. I regret that, at the present moment, I must even here make an appeal to your confidence. The obliga- tions into which I have entered, as a Minister of the Crown, forbid me to do more at this time than to state in general outline the considerations which have go- verned me, and which I should have been prepared more fully to sustain upon again appearing before you as a candidate for re-election after the meeting of Parliament. The events, which I had immediately to regard, when I was invited to re-enter the service of the Crown, were these :-The Administration of Sir Robert Peel had re- tired from office. The party opposed to that adminis- tration, and led by Lord John Russell, had endeavoured to form a Government, and the endeavour had not succeeded. Oil the other hand, as I am given to under- stand, persons favourable to unrelaxed protection, were not prepared themselves to undertake the conduct of public affairs in conformity with the views which they entertained. It was in the critical juncture thus brought about, that Sir R. Peel had unhesitatingly resumed the exercise of political power. When invited to fill the vacancy caused by the la- mented retirement of Lord Stanley, I had to ask myself the question, whether it was to be desired, on account of the exigencies of the general welfare as they stood, that the Queen's Government should receive support. Gentlemen, I judged that such was the case, and there- fore felt it was for those, who believed the Government was acting according to the demands of public duty, to testify that belief, however limited their sphere might be, by their co-operation. Nor is there anything I could so much have coveted, except to the cause to which I have adverted, as the opportunity of vindicating before you the judgment at which I have arrived, and of inviting you to record your approval of it by your votes. That vindication would have rested, and whenever and wher- ever it may be offered, it will rest, upon no merely apolo- getic plea, but upon the assertion that I have acted in obedience to the clear and imperious calls of public obligation, and with the same purpose which I have ever sought to follow, of promoting the permanent in- terests of the community and all the classes of which it is composed. Gentlemen, with strong sentiments alike of gratitude and of rperrpt. I remain your obliged and obedient ser- O. vant. vant, W. E. GLADSTONE. I 13, Carlton House-terrace, London, Jan. 5, 1846.
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE OF…
REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE OF FRANCE. As a companion to the revenue tables of our own country, those of France, or rather the estimates for the ensuing year, have just been published. The minister calculates his gross expenditure at 1,334,717,018 francs, and his income at 1,337,870,680f. which will leave a favourable balance of 3,158,662 francs. Under the fol- lowing heads, the estimates are increased beyond those of former years, viz. Marine.—More than 8,000,000f. This must be attri- buted to the increase of their navy, the expense atten- dant on the maritime surveillance exercised on the coast of Africa, &c. It should be remarked, that this pro- posed increase is utterly separate from the demand made by Admiral Mackau from the Chambers for an extraordinary credit of 93,000,000f. of which we shall speak presently. Public Instruction.—Increase, 1,141,930f. for salaries of officers and functionaries of the University, inspectors of academies, various literary and scientific purposes. (This is a department that puts England to shame. There are above 60,000 schools in France seventy-six normal schools for school-masters, sixteen for school- mistresses. We have five normal schools for masters, and not one for mistresses !) Agriculture and Commerce.—Increase, 206,370 francs. This is to be voted for the encouragement of agriculture and cattle-breeding, and to missions abroad for study- ing commercial interests. Public Works.—Increase, about 2,450,000f. 600,000 are to be devoted to the improvement of the navigation of the Rhone. War. Increase, 2,766,050f. This goes as part of an estimated increase of 2,901,784f. for the service of Al- geria. We have seen it calculated that, first and last, the acquisition of this delightful province has cost our neighbours more than twenty millions sterling, A fiance at this short abstract will, we apprehend, put our readers more au fait to what the French are about than a long disquisition. Apart from the budget, but connected with it in sub- ject, is the project of law submitted by Admiral Mackau to the Chamber, in which he asks for an extraordinary credit of 93,100,OOOf. for navy purposes. This is to be divided over seven years, in the form of an annual credit of 13 ;)00 OOOr. This latter sum is to be added annually to the sum which already figures in the navy estimates of 6,000,000 francs so that an annual sum of 19,300,000 francs is to be devoted to the purposes of naval construction. I It is intended to carry the French navy to the figure of 370 sail (steamers included), on the following I scheme Ships of the line. 40 Frigates. 50 Corvettes 60 Brigs 60 Sundry and smaller size 40 Transports. 20 Total. 270 sail. Steam sliips First class-400 to 600 horse power and upwards 30 Second class—From 90 to 300 ditto 70 War steamers. 100 Making m all 3/0 ships. We have not space to remark just now on this formi- dable preparation our own 152 look a mere nothing by the side of it. We fear that it will entail sad and use- less expense to both countries, if persisted in, for what one country does the other will be obliged to do. It was but last week there were remarks made in France on our calling out the militia, and a short while ago on the contemplated fortification of our coasts but what is all this to the magnificence of these preparations of our neighbours ?—Morning Chronicle.

PRESIDENT POLK'S ADD RFss.-That President Polk's address to Congress is regarded as a war message" by very intelligent and moderate people in the United States, may be seen from the subjoined extract of a letter written by an American citizen of the highest respectability, and possessing the esteem of influential persons in this country. Whatever may be thought of the direct advice given by the writer, his representation of the state of feeling in his own land is important. New York, 14th December, 1845. I fear that your predictions of a momentary convulsion are alike to come true and it is a very poor consolation to think that the folly of the multitude has been the cause. Is it not strange that the experience of the last seven years should prove so entirely profitless ? By some law of our nature, every generation has to pur- chase its own experience. The situation of England- railroad-mad on one hand, and short of food on the other—is anything but satisfactory; yet if to these be added a war with America, what is to be the ultimate consequence ? The consequences to us are easily told our merchants would be ruined, our commerce destroyed, and our seaport-towns bombarded all at once—but our people would be untouched no starvation would reach them and before the end of the first year, war would become a pastime. In England, the people would be the sufferers-the rich could bear their losses hence the consequences eventually would be worse for England. You will have read the President's message before voti receive this note. With a great show of moderation and pious anxiety for peace, he has done everything in his power to produce a war I will not charge it to his intention, as he may be mentally incompetent to know the mischief of words in certain cases but I must pro- nounce it to be a i, ar message How will it he re- ceived in England ?—that is the question. If Sir Ro- bert Peel wanted a war, he has a sufficient challenge but as nobody suspects him or his compeers of this failing, I still hope that a war will be avoided. We must not disguise it from ourselves, however, that there is a war pany in England as well as in America; and unless the lovers of peace in both countries exert them- selves strenuously during the next twelve months, we shall see the two great Anglo-Saxon nations cutting each other's throats." t
EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE…
EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE AND SEVENTEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-FIVE. One thousand eight hundred and forty-five closed, one thousand eight hundred and forty-six, we trust, begins in politics very much as in weather. The last night of December was a stormy one. The old year died hard, in gusty wind and rain. The first morning of January dawned cheerfully, bracing as suited the season, but bright, frosty but kindly." As in the physical world so in the political- The later days of the old year have been clouded with anticipations of famine, and darkened with the strife of contending ele- ment. But there is a bright prospect for 184G, despite all the predictions of such weather seers as the Duke of Richmond and the Morning Herald.' It may be a year of struggles, but the goal to which we shall be pressing onwards is apparent to many, and the end of the month will set it forth distinct and clear to eyes that now refuse to see, or even look in the direction, where keener vision already discerns it. The contention of the old year has prepared us for the consummation of the new. It has shown the hol- lowness of the cause which Protectionists arc striving to uphold with all that is weakest in argument and most untenable in assertion. It has given us fresh confinence, if that were needed, from the unmistakeable evidence it has afforded of the activity and energy of Free-traders, and the impractibility and shortsightedness of their opponents. We never knew till now how strong was the one cause, or how feeble the other. If the advocates of old things were in the habit of looking into history, they might gather more than one lesson from the past century. We know, however, that their reverence for the wisdom of our ancestors" is in an inverse ratio with their knowledge of the times of our ancestors. For our own encouragement, however, rather than their enlightening, let us compare the year that has just ended with the corresponding year of the eighteenth century. One thousand seven hundred and forty-five was the year of the last rebellion in England. It was the year of the death of Sir Robert Walpole, the great organiser of ministerial corruption the statesman who, like Philip of Macedon, believed, and acted on the principle, that every man had his price." A slight acquaintance only with the parliamentary history of the time is needed to convince us, that be our present House of Commons as bad as their bitterest detractors have painted them, a century has not passed without leaving its legacy of good, in the greater integrity and diminished factious- ness of the representative body. The party in it which bears the most unenviable resemblance to the worst class of Walpole's supporters, are the upholders of a minister who is the alternate object of slavish submis- sion and bitter abuse, the men who are now so fierce in their country associations in defence of a principle which before the year is out, a majority of them will have conceded, helplessly, reluctantly, and ingloriously, as they conceded Catholic Emancipation and the new Tariff. In 1745 a civil war raged in England, in assertion of the doctrine of legitimacy in 1815, with the exception of a small and insignificant section, no voice has been raised amongst us of lament for the Duke of Bordeaux, or sympathy for Don Carlos. In 1745, the merchants of the city of London sub- scribed at Garraway's £ 250,000 to equip a regiment for the defence of the city against the rebels in 1845 the Free-traders of Manchester raised the first instal- ment of the same sum, to set in motion their peaceful forces of opinion and common sense, to invade the strongholds of protection, and break down the barriers that impede the development of industry and skill. In 1745 Manchester was an insignificant nest of hand-looms, the importation of raw cotton some 2,000,000 of pounds, the value of exports of manufactured cotton goods some 1:30,000. The importation of raw cotton now amounts to upwards of 300,000,000 of pounds, and the value of our exports of manufactured cotton goods is £ 200,000,000. In 174.5 Manchester was invaded by the rebels, and the town taken, in the words of an eye-witnesses, by a serjeant, a drummer, and a woman, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, who rode up to the Bull's Head, on horses with hempen halters (a just emblem of what they deserved), where they dined. After dinner they beat up for recruits, and in less than an hour enlisted about thirty." Conceive the amazement on the Manchester Exchange if a similar invasion had taken place in 1845. The revenue of the country in 1745 was between six and eight millions, it is now upwards of fifty. The East India Company in 1745 was struggling for existence. In 1745 England was exporting 300,000 quarters of wheat with a bounty of 5s. a quarter, so long as the home price did not exceed 48s. In 1845 the struggle has been whether we are to put up with short commons because England cannot furnish us with all the grain we want, or to be permitted to supply our necessities from abroad. In 1745 the cultivation of the potato was just bCM- coming general throughout England, and the prejudices against its use had nearly subsided. In some places premiums were still resorted to for the purpose of bring- ing this root into consumption among the poor. In 1845 the blight of the potato crop has been one of the most important agents in forwarding the great change from the protection to free-trade which the world is anticipating. The inventions of Arkwright, Watt, Hargrave, and Crompton, were undreamed of. The roads were execrable. Forty miles in fourteen hours was the pace at which a prince was forced to travel and even then at the risk of frequent overturns, the coach propped up by the shoulders of the rustics, who were called in for the purpose of relieving the horses. Compare this with the railways of 1S45. Nor were broken limbs and stickings in the mud the worst feature of the travelling of that day. Mounted highwaymen scoured the country in all directions, and executions by scores enlivened the visitors to Tyburn. This treat we have lost, as also the delectable sights of bleeding heads on Tower-hill, and Horse Guards en- camped in Hyde-park. Most of these changes are as pregnant with signifi- cance as they are striking in their naked contrast. The great lesson we would gather from them is this, not to insist on the practice of the past in resisting the inno- vations of the present. Our ancestors had their work to do. It is because they did it that we are what we are. It is not the men who have been always looking back that the world has to thank for its progress on- ward. If the worthy Protectionists who contemplate with such fond regret the restrictions of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, could but learn the misery they inflicted and the long penance they entailed for their opposition to the laws of nature, they would look with more tolerance on the advocates of a change which twenty years hence, their children will stare to hear that their fathers called revolutionary and maniacal." —Morning Chronicle.

Another of the great statesmen of the generation that is rapidly passing away, has this week been taken from amongst us at a good old age. Earl Granville, the contemporary of Pitt and Fox, as well as Perceval and Grey, expired on Wednesday morning, tin his seventy-third year. Introduced into the vortex of poli- tical life by Pitt, his lordship was yet Whig; and although, as one of the old school, his party had shot far a head of him in their views of a public policy, he yet continued a supporter of the great cause in hand. The late Earl's public life extended over a great part of half a century, and had more or less to do with most of the prominent political events which date from the period of the French Revolution. By Lord Granville's decease, Lord Leveson, his son, is elevated to the peerage, which causes a vacancy in the re- presentation of Lichfield, and, not improbably, an opening to Parliament for the new Colonial Secretary. A KEY TO PEEL'S POPUI.ARITY.-Sir Robert Peel having come into power on the 1st of September, 1S41, Mr. Hawes, in March last, moved for A return of all new places made since the 1st of September, 1841." The return shows a list of 503 places, created in the short space of three years and six months, being at the rate, in round numbers, of three new placemen every week since he came into office. This beats even the days of Pitt, and the reigns of George the Third and George the Fourth. The first page of the document contains thirty-four places, two of Ci-),000 a year each, one of E2,500 a year, one of ;EI,SOO, one of f 1,2.50 a year each, besides others of £ G00or £ 400 per annum. In the next page we have fifty-seven places, and amongst them we find eight of 1:2,000 a year each, and five of £1,200 per annum, besides two of LSOO, and others of between i300 and £ 400. In page six, there are fifty-five places, including twelve of £ 1,800, one of £ 1,200. twelve of jEGOO per annum each, besides others of £-100, &c. &c. There is scarcely a page of this curious document in which are not to he found places of EI,800, il,50t), EI,000, £800, £700, or £600 a year. In page 10, there are three places of £ 1,500, four of £ 1,200, one of £1,000 and seventeen places with salaries at £ 500, and running up to £OO- per annum. But in page eleven there are twenty- eight places created the two highest are L6,000 each we ha\e two of E2,000 per annum, one at 1:3,000 with a place at £ 1,800, another at EI,500, with nine varying from £ 1,000 to f;1,200, and in one case amounting to £ 1,600 a year. The actual creation of such an immense number of lucrative places after the last genei al elec- tion, in which Sir Robert triumphed, is an assurance to electors that if they support him at the next general contest, the grateful baronet will create 503 more lucra- tive appointments to reward his faithful adiei-eiits.- Edinburgh Weekly Chrcnick
