The Norwich Union Society, instituted 1797, was the first office to make returns to the parties insured, and its connexions have, to the present time, enjoyed this important benefit. The last return on the premiums paid between Michaelmas 1811 and Michaelmas 1845, was made in 1846, distributing in that year amongst the p rties insured £ 50 000 making a total of JE:350 OOf) returned to the assured since the first establishment of the office. and this per centage was paid to every insurer without excep- tion, whether his policy had been in existence the whole period or for only a single year, or even but for three months, an ad- vantage not afLrded by any other society whatever. It is expected that the next return will be made in the course of the ensuing year 1850. The directors have the strongest grounds to expect that the future returns will equal the pist, and the constant increase of business (over sixty millions) sufficiently attests the public con- fidence in the stabili'y "'is company. These nnprecedented returns show the great benefits which insurers in this otfice have derived, and the rates are the same as charged by other offices (where no returns are made.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY, JULY 6' Mr-Herries gave notice that on the first motion for going into committee of supply on ways and means, he would call attention to the present condition of the revenue, and to the expediency of increasing the revenue by a fixed duty on the importation of foreign corn. Lord J. Russell replied that the part taken by the Emperor of Russia in assisting Austria to put down the insurrection in Hungary was no violati( n of the treaty of Vienna. He (Lord J. Russell) did not believe the current rumour about a con- templated division of territory between the two emperors. On the motion made by Lord John Russell for postponing the consideration of the measure on the Marriages (Scotland) Bill, to Monday, at twelve o'clock. Mr. F. Mackenzie objected to such an arrangement, and moved as an amendment, that the report be considered that day three months. The house divided, and there appeared- For Lord John Russell's motion. 136 Against it 60 Majority against the amendment——76 After a lengthened conversation the bill was fixed for Mon- day, at noon. STATE OF THE NATION. The adjourned debate on Mr. Disraeli's motion—'That the house resolve itself into a committee of the whole house to take into consideration the state of the nation—was re- sumed by Mr. Slaney, who opposed the motion. lie could not attri- bute to the operation of free trade the present suffering of the people. He thought that the potatoe blight and the distur. bances of Europe were sufficient to account for the general distress. Mr. G. A. Hamilton reviewed the state and prospects of Ireland, and contended that the policy of the Government had greatly increased the dillicuItics by which the restoration of that country to prosperity and a sound social system was surrounded. He asserted that the interests of Ireland had been sacrificed to the English manufacturers. Mr. llume defended the conduct of the Government towards Ireland. He explained the reasons that induced him not to mo-e the amendment of which he had given notice. Had he done so he would have embarrassed the fair discussion of the free trade policy, and prevented the sifting of facts bearing on the results of that policy. He admitted that the great in crease of pauperism was most alarming, but he denied that free trade was the cause of it. In fact, we were labouring under a delusion when we fancied we haulree trade. He wished we had. He assigned to the operation of excessive and unequal taxation the poverty of the country, and he insisted that nei- ther the present rents could be paid to the landlords nor the present taxes paid to the Government. The Earl of March congratula-ed Mr. Hume on having made a protection speech instead of moving an atiti-protective amendment. The noble lord proceeded to dissect the allega- tions and arguments made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to show that the right hon. gentleman's information was erroneous, and the argument founded on them comequcntlv of no avail. The noble 'onl described the distress nnder which the agriculturists are suffering. Sir R. Peel said he would not enter into the questions of a purely political consideration laised by the motion, because i? would be impossible to deal with the foreign policy, the Irish policy, the colonial policy of the Government in asingie speech. The main point put in issue by the motion .vas whe- ther the Government should or should not be displaced tor the purpose of subverting the commercial policy they had adopted. He could not consent to a motion that IVould displace the Government for this purpose, because, he cordially approved of the economic principles they supported. Smce their acces- sion to office he had felt it his duty. considering the difficulties thit surrounded them at home and abroad, to give a general support to their measures he felt that a Government so cir cumstauced should not be impaired by a factious or captious opposition. The right honourable gentleman proceeded to examine the grounds on which Mr. Disraeli had impeached the commercial policy of the Government, and then inquired whether a different niincipieof economic policy could contri bute to the welfare and prosperity of the country. He took Mr. Disraeli's admission that in 1846 Europe was tranquil, the Government respected, the exports large beyond prece- dent, and the country prosperous; and he argued that, as the new commercial policy had then been pursued tor some years, it could not be maintained that that new commercial policy was productive of general distiess The right honourable baronet entered into an elaborate defence of his tariff, contending that experience proved that we could fight hostile tariffs with free imports, and denying that because there was a diminution in the declared value of our exports, therefore it was to be inferred that the labouring classes received less in wages. He quoted letters from chippenham, Nottingham, and Dundee, to establish that the manufacturing operatives were now obtaining better wages, and were much better off than for many years. He questioned the accuracy of the poor-law returns depended on by Mr. Disraeli, and insisted that the arguments drawn from these.Teturns wera-erroneous. Having examined Mr. Disraeli's argument, the right hon. gentleman declared that, in his opinion, the impeachment ot the com. mercial policy of the last five years had utterly failed, Then, as to a return to the principle of protection, he held it to be impossible. If the new commercial policy were an error, it was an error that was likely to be perpetuated. He maintained that the principle of protection was vicious, and he boldly as- serted that our true po!icy was to combat hostile tariff's with free imports. The doctrine of buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market he repeat d and justified. The right hon gentleman concluded bv imploring the house not to listen to the proposal of a paltry fixed duty on corn, which he understood, from the notice given by Mr. Herries, would be made—he besought them to reject any such proposal, and not to barter the glorious heritage of a most sagacious and timely po'icy for the smallest and most worthless bargain ever made since the time of him who sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. The Marquis ofGranby urged that the admission of general prosperity in 1846, before the repeal ot the corn laws, could not be taken as an admission of the benefits of free trade. Lord J. Russell rested on the arguments used by the Chancellor of the Exchequer for a delence of the general policy of the Government, and the speech made by Sir R. Peel for a defence of their commercial policy. His lordship quoted returns later then those relied on by Mr. Disraeli, to prove that the state of the country in regard to pauperism had improved since last year Still he admitted that the agricul- tural distress was very severe but he denied that it was in consequence of the introduction of free trade. He had no hesitation in avowing that, true as was the principle of free trade, it would have been wiser to reduce the duty gradually, and to have begun by a fixed duty. But that proposition was made, and rejected with disdain. It was a curious feature that he who had once proposed an 8s. fixed duty on foreign sugar, should find those who ha 1 refused these arrangements propose themselves, in 1848, 10s. duty on sugar, and in 1849 a moderate fixed duty on foreign corn. The noble lord con- cluded his speech by describing the peculiar difficulties that his Administration had to encounter, and cited the way in which they acted with respect to the Bank Charter Act, with respect to Ireland, and with respect to foreign countries, as proofs that they had not flinched from meeting those difficul- ties energetically, whatever defects might have been in their mode of doing so. He did not ask the House, by their vote on that occasion, to declare that they had confidence in the Government, but he did ask them not to declare that to tie conduct and and policy of the Government the distress of the country was attributable. Mr. Muntz made a few remarks descriptive of the low con- dition of the operatives in Birmingham. Mr. Disraeli replied, in an able speech, in which he grap- pled with arguments advanced by the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer and Sir R. Peel, and administered to the last gent!- man several well-aimed and severe stripes for his newborn zeal in supporting a systematic attempt to depress the na- tive industry of the country. The House divided at three o'clock— For Mr. Disraeli's motion 156 Against it 296 Majority against the motion 140 The other orders of the day were shortly disposed 01, and the House adjourned. MONDAY. The Lord Advocate moved that the Marriages (Scotland) Bill, as amended, he read a third time. The House divided, and the numbers were.- f or the amendment 68 Against it 7,'J Majority against —5 1 he debate was adjourned till Thursday. The House then went intu Committee of the whole House on Railways and Distressed Unions (Ireland). The Chancellor of the Exchequ r moved in Committee an advance out of the Consolidated Fund of £ 500,000,, as a loan for the purpose of completing the raihvay from Dublin to Galway. This line was already constructed from Dublin to Mullingar, and was in process of coustructiun from Mullingar to Athlone. The rate of interest which he proposed to take for ifie advanee_was 34 per -_nt, for ten years, after which period the loan would be repaid in in staImentsof.eiOO.OOOperannum. The security which he proposed to taxe for this advance would comprehend the whole line from Dublin to Galway. Mr. Goulburn thought that, considering the present state of the national Revenue, this was an unpropitious time to inaugurate a system of advances. He also thought it in- judicious to make the proposed advance at a rate of interest at which no existing railway, either in England or Ireland, could procure money. Mr. Roebuck opposed the advance on the ground that Hie ultimate security was the already over taxed industry of England .-The motion was agreed to. The Chancellor of the Exchequer then moved for a fur- ther advance of £ 150,000. for the relief of the distressed unions in Ireland, on the security of the rate-in-aid.—Also agreed to.

Hawkins, as to the large number of prisoners com- rai'ted from Newport for trial. Mr. W. A. Williams said he believed there WAS a compromise between the police and the town council of Newport, as to the expenses of the former; and he understood that the same gentle man wha acted atcterk to the county magistrates, ,110 aCled 10 that capacity for the magistrates of the borough, lie (Mr. W.) did not know how prosecutions were disposed of; but there was aa impression abroad, supported, slso, by a letter which he had reed in the MCP.LIN, that the borough roagistraies' cleik WES in- terested in thnS8 prosecutions. M'. Charles Piothero, clerk of the peace, most emphatically deoted that ihere was anv ground for such imputation as the clerk of the borough magistrates w»s cot in tlu s tg test degree interested in any prr.secutioos emanating fiom JNewport, Tht! subject lieie dropped, "ad the Court rose.

HAISR'S PORTABLE GALVANIC APPARATUS. From the H'es/ct/u/i—T hat Mr. liaise stands IlIgh as a tmdical galvanist, and that he is generally considered as tiie head of his profession, are facts which we have long knowu but we did not know until verv recently that he had brought the r ilvanic appaiatusto such a high state of perfection, that an invalid may galvanize himself with tiie most perfect safeiv. happen to know something of galvanisin ourselves, aDdwp can truly say that his apparatus is far superior 10 anything ot the kind we ever beheld. To those of our invalid friends, therefore, who may feel desirous of testing 11 15111' the medical powers ot galvanism, we say, apply at once to the fountain head. To secure beneficial results, it is necessary, as we can from experience assert, to be galvanized by an apparatus constructed on the b st principles; for, although the sensation experienced from the smallest machines, 0\ the common con- struction, during the operation is very similar to thai experienced by Mr. Halse's maohines, yet the effects afterwards produced ale vastly different, the one producing a feeling of exhaustion, and the ot.her a feelins: of renewed vigour.

MARK OF RESPECT TO THE REV. 1). RHYS STEPHEN. This gentleman, who has for several years past been the minister of the Grosvenor-stieet baptist chapel, heini; about to leave Manchester, a nnmber of his fiiends and fellow-countrymen- determine to testify their regard for him by an invitation to a public tea meeting. Due airanpements having been made, this tribute of uspect was shown to him on Wednesday evening last, v-hen about 300 persons sat down to tea, in the Town Hall, Choilton-uprn-Mfidlocfc. Whi e 'he substantial part of the entertainment was undergoing discussion-and also at sub- sequent intervals—" Giail medd dod mwyn." and olher favourlte Welsh airs, were skilfully played, by one of Cambria's sons, on their national instrument, the harp. The chair was occupied hy Mr. John Francis, surveyor, who, in ie erence 10 the occasion upon which they were assembled, said he was not adapted, either by ability or inclination, to pass high eulogies on individuals but with respect to the Key. MI. Stephen, he was bound to say he considered him to be a niau possessed of a large and liberal mind the works he had produced wt-re sufficient to distinguish him. He "aS deeply attached to his fellow countrymen, and especially to tuose over whom he had exercised his pastoral care but he was at tile utmost iemove from biuotiv, and it had been one of bis characteristics, that he had, inconneciion with his ministry, also endeavoured, in various ways, to promote the welfare and advancement of the community generally. He wa g ad to see so lars;e an audience, and as it was not limited to persons of only one religious denomination, this was another proof of the geneial and high esteem in which Mr. Stephen was heid. That gentleman was about to repair to the great central nurt of intelligence, and lie had no doubt but his merits would be duly appreciated. Mr. Stephen (evidently labouring under deep emotion) then rose, an d addressing the audience as his friends and fellow, countrymen, sat" ne was, like their chairman incapable of eulogy, but in bis <jwn "1 the name of his wife, and in the name of his children, he bugge() thank them deeply—intensely—for the kindness shown to him. With respect to the lecture on ancient Welsh literature and eminent Welshmen, which had been an- nounced he uid not feel disposed to enter on those subjects at muiui length. the reverend gentleman then proceeded to give an account of the literary pioductioos of several ancient Welsh writers, and exhibited a work in three volumes which, he said, contained some poems that were written beloie the Saxons could write their names. One of those poems referied to a battle fought on the const of Westmoreland Christianity, too, lie remarked, existed in Wales before the Saxons knew the name of Christ. Having cautioned the audience against understanding his national U eof the word Saxon" in any disrespectful sense, he made some allusions to ihe very partial and ui just manner in which the late commission of inquiry into the state of education in Wales had been cood lIcted- by three young barristers, whose practice had been to obtain information from tmperfiect and pujudici d sources, and pass by men of great experience who were wi ll acquainted with the Welsh people. iVlr Stephen concluded by assuring his friends, in takmp leave of them, that he should Irrg retain a deep recollection of their kindness. The Rev H. Wuighan, D.D. addressed tha ai dience in an animated soe> ch of considerable duration, in tl.e course of which hs remarked that he had, like Mr. Stephen, fe t it his duty not to cot;fi..e his exertions entirely within Ins onurch, but when tiie c Jounon interest appeared to claim his attention, hehad respon e to it.
