The cir- 1, ance f the actm*1 being brought by one officc against o ler, presents a striking illustration ot the uncertainty nicn may attach to all policies under the present system, and nows that the only mode by which absolute security can be obtained hy the public, must lie in the general adoption by as- surance offices of the plan of protecting themselves in every case, by due inquiries before the granting 01 eaehjpoticy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the complete- ness of such inquiries, by holding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the present case, two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can properly invalidate a claim and yet the public are exppcted to be abte to guard themselves against such contin- gencies. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure the progress of lite assurance.

TO COK K HSPON Di:N TS. A pressure of coyiy" at a late hour, has occasioned the omission of several favours, intended for publication.

IMPORTANT INDUSTRIAL PROJECT IN IRELAND. Ai' riiR so (lurk and protractcd a timo of til most hopeless suftcritig, poor Ireland's prospects arc steadily becoming brighter. That glorious measure, the Encumbered 1<s. tates Act, is transferring, at fair prices, thousands and thousands of acres of Iund from their mortgaged nominal owners—who made no improvements, and spent their di- minishing net incomes elsewhere—to practical and pru- dent men, who wil lemploy labour, and increase produc- tion. And otic most pleasing feature, in connection with this transfer, is, that Irish capital has been found to make tj? hu^h of these purchases. Concurrently with this libeiation of the soil, various undertakings arc being entered into, with more or less success, for the develop- ment of Ireland's resources. The grand scheme for profitably working the vast hogs, of which so little use has hitherto been made, we have already noticed; and it is highly gratifying to see the confirmation given to calculations formerly regarded as baseless, hy the close and quiet experiments which Pro- fessor Owen has, for the last year and a half, been making. Now, we hail with pleasure, a large and comprehen- sive plan for extending the cultivation of 11ax. Here, there is no uncertainty as to the thing itself; for the ar- ticle has long been grown with profit on a limited scale. The only thing wanted, is such an amount of resources and skill, as will get through the period necessary for in- ducing cultivation in fresh districts, and taking the crops from the hands of the cultivators until regular markets can be secured. This is only a matter of time, for the demand Is constant and increasing. To carry out so de- sirable an object, a Joint-stock Company, with a capital of one million sterling, is being formed. The state of monetary affairs is highly favourable; the investment, if the ordinary rules of business be attended to, will be re- munerative and every shareholder will also enjoy the satisfaction of conferring a great benefit upon large num- bers of his fellow subjects. In order to increase the safety and efficiency of the schemc, a royal charter of in- corporation has been applied for; and we are happy to say, has been obtained. The Board of Trade, while pro- perly objecting to the grant of such charters under ordi- nary circumstances, state that taking into considera- tion the present circumstances of Ireland, and being strongly impressed with the great importance of encou- *tt this time, bv every means, thc cultivation of flax in that country,'r they will recommend that the charter be granted. Herein, wc think their Lordships have acted most wisely, as well as kindly. They will thus facilitate the creation of a vastly extended home trade, of a very important character, which will provide labour for multitudes of starving people, ana will greatly increase the supply 0f a staple article of trade, which we now, to a great extent, import—and all this, without in- terfering, in any way, with the freedom of trade. One circumstance, which adds materially to the en- couragement felt, on other grounds, by the promoters of this plan, is the important discovery recently made, by which flax can be Worked without steeping, and that by cotton machinery slightly altered. ouch undertakings are the true means of Ireland's ma- terial regeneration—they will arrest the tide of emigra- tion which progresses—not amongst the idle and im- provident, but the industrious farmers-thc sinews of the Jaud--so that whole townlands were becoming deserted. Most fervently do we wish that success may attend such national projects.

SOCIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROGRESS. Pr may be consonant to the feelings of the business com- munity-of calmly reason in"- men—of all endowed with the Christian spirit which prompts to do unto others as they would that others should do unto them—to turn from tnc febrile excitement of the day, and looking over the broad surface of society, to sec whether there be not cheering indications of the advancement of our race. From such a survey, then, as that to which we have referred, n.o small encouragement may be derived; tor we see around us agencies at work, by the develope- ment of which, the human family must be greatly bene- fitted. The recent achievement of a telegraphic communication under the bottom of the sea, between England and France, was a triumph of immeasurably greater importance than many of those, which, even in our own time, have been hailed with national jubilations, The accidental break- ing of the wires, and the delay which has necessarily at- tended the maturing of the plan, have prevented it from receiving that attention, and eliciting that admiration, which are justly its due. Rut it is plain that there will be no serious difficulty in preventing the recurrence of a similar casualty; and although occasional damage from other causes may be anticipated, the general practicabi- lity of this wondrous means of international communica- tion may bo regarded as fully established. We entertain no doubt of a permanent line being laid down in a few months; and what a prospect does such a scene open be- fore us The obvious facilities for commerce—extended as the telegraph system already is upon the continent- will form but one of its advantages. So rapid a means of communication will continually be put in requisition to supply us with information of interest and importance whether from our numerous countrymen travelling and resident abroad, relative to events transpiring in those various regions; while we may ever be learning some- thing from their inhabitants, how much will a readier knowledge of our proceedings do to instruct them in the elements of that combination of freedom with solidity, and \jl,irit with patience, which wifh some imperfections, (gradually, we trust, disappearing,) constitute so much ot Englands national greatness? and, with so much in- tercouisc, how vastly will the improbability of wars be increased, and the necessity of keeping up costly arma- ments, diminished 0 j The submarine telegraph has been mentioned first, on C, account of its novelty but, if the principle can be suc- cessfully applied to the ocean, how manifold ought to be its efficiency and how extensive its use on land. And here we must confess, that in our own country, the re- sults of the establishment of this wonderful system have not. been such as were justly expected; and a brief ex- amination of this point may not be without use. Though people are always slow to appreciate what is new, it can no longer be doubted that the very limited use of the electric telegraph is to be traced to the high price charged; and until there is an alteration in this respect, there will not he much increase in the use of this valuabieinvention. Doubtless, the cost of construction has been heavy; but it may be well for those who manage these matters, to consider whether lower charges might not give a bcttn return for the capital invested. As to the current expenses of working, they are as small as in almost any kind of business. In the United States, though the wires are laid down to a much greater cx- tent, and amongst di-itricts much more thinly populated mes- sages are conveyed at about one-fifth of the amount charged »Pte. I his becomes a consideration of still greater inportance LtVm>Sfi 8"m° °f tlui contilIcllt:l1 countries are alrcadv assimi- tTIIith PnCPS t0 ,h0Se °f th(' Uuit",J Sta*«'»- But thclc is another important point, and that is the telegraphing power. terns hiCAnuri7 douhtlcss surprised lo know thaMhe svs- oftheiu iUe„SO ^P«n,rtoours -that the most rapid time, in the enortr'o 'C "<ds transmitted in a given telegraphs tli f S l,r°P0,'t'»n of Ufty to one Our present. expensive nro^ r K coirtuinly arise except by the very t*j)cjsivc pioccw of having additional wijes and olerks. But. is there any insuperable obstacle to our enjoying advan- tages at least approximating to those of our transatlantic friends-' Certainly not. Whether the competition arising from the authorization by Pai liument, of a second company, thus terminating a monopoly, which could be only justified as a temporary encouragementto a novel and expensive project, calculated to be of national benefit, will effect that change, time will soon shew. That monopoly, like most others, has produced but little fruits for the public, and it was time to ter- minate it. But however this may be, something must be done, or Britain will, in this respect, stand in the rear, eVen ,.HI re- gards continental Europe, where the superior systems in use across the Atlantic are already being adopted. All these, how- ever, arc matters of detail—we have the principle, and may well regard its possession as a wonderful feature of the age. With respect to gas, for light ing—itself but a modern disco- very, and quite as wonderful to those to whom it was first broached, as electricity for communication ie to us—there IS a steady decrease in pric-, thus giving facilities for a greatly in- creased consumption, and that consumption again enabling the makers to produce it still lower. Small towns are now enjoying its advantages, while its use in private residences is becoming common. Indeed, if persons building houses, would but take enlatged views—as some of them do—and all in concert, so that the fittings could be put up. and pipes laid from the mains in the most economical mannci—- bus making noappreciabie difference in the charge for rent, there would be an universal consumption OF an article which is cheaper than candles, while it is much more eiiicient. This kind of improvement is steadily, though slowly progressing but there are grounds for expect- ing, also, that a gila, of a purer and superior character, will ere long, be brought lato use. IF we turn our attention to Railways, there is a continual ad- vance in the mechanical department, however slowly THE direc- torial may pi ogress. The provision made, both lor the safety and comfurt of travellers—notwithstanding some deficiencies, and some neglect, is, on the whole, increasing. The speed of trains, generally, is as great as is consistent with safety. The number run for the accommodation of the public is, in most eases, greater than call reasonably lIe expectcd, looking at the amount of traffic, while the arrangements to meet the occa- sional journeys of those who cannot afford to pay the ordinary rates, are (with the exception of some scandalous delays), alike beneficial to the people and the proprietors. Many defects on railways may be pointed out, but a general improvement is de- cidedly going 011. Then, if we turn to the wider aspect ot these undertakings, wc may wdl indulge in wonder and delight, at the vast benefits which they have already conferred upon the country, 'as well as the rapidity with which sueh. vast works, with thrir adjuncts, in the shape of stupclIdous bridges, tunnels, and viaducts, have been executed and brought into use; and, at the magnitude, the elasticity, and the reproduc- tive power of those national resources, which, after so much waste in foreign wars, and numerous follies, have yet sufficed to bear so heavy a dead weight as these great undertakings have necessarily occasioned. Thc younger amongst us are apt 10 forget that it is about twenty-live years since the first passen- ger line was opened, and that for a long time the system was very slowly developed yet, up to July last, there could not be less than 0,000 miles of Railways opened.

LOCAL IV T H L L HI E N C K. COUNTY COUHT.-Judge Herbert held his court at our Town Hall on j'uesday and Wednesday, when there were about 150 cases for adjudication, but many were withdrawn, settled, or struck out, aud none were ol threat public importance. COUNTY COURTS.—By an order dated the 15th instant, the Lords ot the Treasury have directed that a per centage on the sum claimed, shall BE taken in lieu of fees on all proceedings in these courts, on and after Monday next. The general fund fee is reduced one-third, and the other fees in proportion. THE YOUNG.—J, J. Cordes, Esq, last evening delivered a clear, comprehensive, and interesting lecture at the National Schoolroom, to an attentive and gratified audience, on the importance of giving A religious education to the young. S\NNATU SCIIOOT.S. — The Rev. J. Hyatt, of Gloucester, deli- vered two efiective and eloquent sermons at the Tabernacle chapel, last Sunday, on behalf of the Sabbath schools at that place of wor- ship.

NEW GAS COMPANY.—Wc understand that the projected com- pany arc going on with great spirit, and with sanguine hopes of success. Shares are taken up lreely. INTKNDED COUNTY MEETINO.—A requisition to the High sherilf is in course of signature throughout the county, requesting him to convene a public meeting for the expression of the county feeling, on the subject of the Pope's Bull. T'm NEW EXCITEMENT.— Last Sunday, the eyes of those who pioeeedcd to St. Woollos church to worship, were attracted to the unseemly display upon the walls, of rudely-chalked sentences, of Down with the Pope I) -n the Pope! "Down with I\í[1cry!" &e, &c THE good sense of Christian gentlemen who saw, THE walls thus daubed, in an attempt to get up an excitement ngauist their fellow-townsmen, prevented their feeling anything but d'sgustatsuchbrutalexhibitions. POI.ICE, THURSDAY.—Four beerhouse keepers were convicted in penalties and costs, for defaults James Oliver, of the Rainbow, WAS fined 58 and lis costs, for assaulting PC Long, and Ann Mur- Phy thc like penalty for attempting to rescue the man from Long's custody, Two or three disorderly characters wero very suitably dealtwithbytheBench. MN. JOHN READ.—This gentleman, whose illustrations of the writings of Shakspeare are "highly spoken of, is on a tour through Wales, and is shortly expected here. THE nOCK INQUEF.T.—In the report of this inquest, Mr. T-athcart is stated, to have said, I wish to ask Mr Coroner, whether U will be conceded that the roads around the Docks are public roads; because if that is done, I shall be satisfied." We lind that the words, "hecause if that is done, I sltall he satisfied," were in- suited under a misapprehension that they were used. Mr. C., has uosired us to correct tins error, in east; any of his Pilh-wenllv clients, who were not present at the inquest, should have been led vo suppose that the mere concession of the question of the right of „ '}• 1 have satisfied him on their behalf, without an investi- °A 1011 01 MURE important matters for inquiry on the occasion.

TIIE CHEAP GAS MOVEMENT. (TO THE EDITUn) SlR,—I perceive by the advertising columns of yonr Jour- nal of the ICth instant, that the gas consumers of this borough, contemplate an application to Parliament, during the msning session, for the necessary powers to enable them to become their own producers of gas. Now Sir, although I unhesitatingly admit the philosophy of the axiom that the order and well being of society, are main- ly dependent upon the sacredncss with which we regard the right ot property, (or in the more popular diction of our legis- lative mends vested interest") and that our social organisa- tion, sus ains a retrograde movement, whenever those rights arc .niudiciou.siy and unnecessarily tampered with; and, al- •ll01T :vt admit, that we ought to exercise the pro- toun es < on, ere we identify ourselves with a movement, the tendency ot which, must necessarily bo to effeot tho value ^W, inTf»1,.YAl('1.1 P»vato individuals or public bodies, may <. their money at a time when it would have C('V ,as Enable to expect, that such propi 'J mate]y become affected by that levelling (dement •> K.

It did not require the adventitious aid of eloquence, to heighten the statement ot grievances and oppressions under which the consumers of this borough, have for a long time la- boured, when it was submitted to them at a meeting convened at the Crown Inn, on lhursday last, for the purpose of discussing theiu as the naked tacts were infinitely more elo- quent than the choicest diction of any language. The facts of the case made their requisite impression and elicited a de- termination on the part of the consumers, to put an end to the present unsatisfactory state of things. Statistical informa- tion oi fcluj most Siitibia-ctory character was adduced showing
