B"•°,4lY—That as this 20 per cent. would be altogether saved by t he manufacture of the candles in this country, and as the cost of the raw material here will be much less than abroad, with greater ~.e c onomy in the manufacture itself, the Directors, supporteA by the rePort of their own engineer, after inTecting the works is Paris, have satisfied themselves that the manufacture and sale of the can dles in this country will afford a very large per centage on the capital embarked. .ThirdlY— • .

This Institution was originally established under a different title in the year 1839, on the plan of admitting the assured to participate in four-fifths only of the profits ; but the Society has since been re modeled so as to become a strictly " Mutual Association." The whole of the funds and property belong to, and are accumu lated for the exclusive benefit of the assured. The profits are divided annually among 'the policy-holders, and applied in reduction of the current year's premium ; thus constant _ ing, in effect, an immediate cash payment to the assured. Half-credit policies are granted on terms unusually favourable to the holders, the amount for which credit is given being gradually li quidated out of the profits. Two Tables of Rates have been computed ; one entitling the as sured to participate in the profits after pat ment of five annual pre miums ; the other considerably lower, in which the period of pul' cipation is deferred two years longer : the premium ultimately pay; ab'e ny the assured is, however, precisely the same, whichever Table of Rates may in the first instance be selected. General meetings of the members are held annually, to whom full and complete statements of the affairs and funds of the Society are submitted, and by whom the division of the profits are from time to time declared. At the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th April last, 'a di vidend of 30 per cent. upon the current year's premium was awarded to all members who had made the requisite numoer of payments on their respective policies.

London, May 1, 1852 The "Britannia Mutual Life Association" is altogether dis tinct from, and independent of, the Proprietary Office transacting business under the name of the " Britannia Life Assurance Com pany," The only connexion between the two establishments is, that their affairs are conducted on the s tme premises and by the same officers, by which means the entire disbursements of the Mutual Association are reduced to a small per ccntage on the receipts. NATIONAL ASSURANCE AND INVES T 5tE NT ASSOCIATION, 7, St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar-square, London. The investment of money wit). this Association, which was established in May, 1814, on a plan peculiar to itself, secures equal advantages to the surplus capital of the affluent, and the provident savings of the industrial classes of the community, and affords an opportunity for realising the highest rate of interest yielded by first class securities, in which alone the money is employed. Moneys deposited with the Association, for Investment, are exempt from liabilities on account of life contingencies, as well as the expenses of management, which are borne by the Life Depart ment, in consideration of the business brought to it by investment transactions ; therefore, Depositors enjoy the entire profits yielded by their capital free from deduction of any kind—an advantage which no other Institution, either public or private, holds forth, or can afford, to its members. Interest or Dividend, is payable half-yearly, in January and July. Capital Stock, £lOO,OOO. The Capital Stock is altogether distinct and separate from the Depositors' Stock in the Investment Department. It constitutes, with the Premium Fund, a guarantee for the engagements of the Association, and has been provided in order to render the security of the Assured complete. LIFE DEPARTMENT. This Department embraces a comprehensive and well-regulated system of Life Assurance, with many valuable and important im provements.

The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide Is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treate d of by Dr. Pick ford ; : but the moderate pi ice at which the brochure' Is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter.

This race .I book to TROUSSEAU or MERRY BIRD. What the field will consist of, at the present moment I do not know. The second race on the list is that for the Produce Stakes of 10 so's. each, h ft. with 100 added; one mile and . a half. This stake has fifty-eight subscribers to it; but if the odd eight nominations _ come to the post, that will be as many as can be expected. The result will probably terminate in favour of WOMERSLEY or PEP PERMINT—the former for choice. The field for this, as well as the other stakes, I shall postpone giving till next week. . The Union Cup of 200 SOTS. in specie, given by the members of the Manchester Union Club, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 5 soya. each, over the mile and a quarter course, stands forth in a flou rishing way, with . seventy nominations, of which some sixteen will go to the post. -It will be to little aooount to wade through the respective chances of the animals engaged in this stake, and I therefore shall draw to a conclusion at once by stating that Ox ford Blue, who won it, last year, has no chance of repeat ing the performance this time; and that those most likely to show to advantage will be, Iris, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b; Trickstress, 4 yrs, 7st 41b; The Italian, 5 yrs, 7st 21b; Aaron Smith, 4 yrs, Est 81b; First Fruits, 4 yrs, Est 41b; Deceitful, 4 yrs, 6st; and Flounce, 3 yrs, 4st 71b. If they can manage to get THE ITALIAN along kindly thpre is nothing to prevent his winning, but if he plays bis usuitifrinknThel inclined ttainktfrOsciefrfter FLOUNCE for the winner. The Meiklam Handicap of 5 sous. each, with 50 added, over the mile course, will, in all probability, be won by OSBALDESTON or PENANG, Withotit the Ithuriel filly bowls them over, which is somewhat dubious. On Thursday the racing commences with a Handicap of 5 sous. each, with 50 added; one mile and a distance. PROCTOR and THE CUTLER look the most like business .—one or other being tolerably sure of carrying off the laurels. The Two Years-Old Stakes of 10 Boys. each, with 50 added, will probably fall to the lot of Mr. J. Osborne, without Nestor or the Queen colt can go faster than Lambton. Whalebone is of but little account. The Manchester Tradesmen's Cup of 200 soya. in specie, added to a Handicap Sweepstakes of 20 soya. each, 15 ft, and 5 only if declared, &c., over two miles tied a distance, will probably be contested by a field of ten or eleven, the winner, I have but little doubt, turn in out to be the BLACK DOCTOR, HERBERT, or GOLD FINg DER, Calculator and Hippolytus reading the next best on paper. On Friday the only Stakes that have yet closed are the Salford Borough Cup an d the Wilton Stakes; the latter of 10 soya. each, h ft, with 50 added ; for two yrs old, fist 91b, and three yrs, Bst 121 b, over the T.Y.C. It will probably fall to the lot of Osborne, with his LADY AGNES, LAMBTON, or EXACT; the sister to Mountain Deer being a doubtful runner, and Broughton a certain non-starter. The Salford Borough Cup of 100 soya. in specie, added to a Handicap of 10 soya. each, 5 ft, and 3 only if declared, &c., a mile and a half, will probably a ttract a good field to the post. Unity , at 7st, and Aaron Smith at the same weight , are favourabl y handi capped; as also is Paquette, at 6 st 121 b, and Jessica, 4st 101 b. This lot ought to furnish the first two— neater this mark I cannot go this week. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. May 28, 1852. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES. Yesterday was in every sense of the word an " eff day;" the races possessed very little interest, the fields were small, the company was thin, and the weather dull and misty. The Oaks betting, usually brisk on the day before running, was fiat, the only animals backed with any spirit being Trousseau and Bird on•the-Wing; the fa vourite was on the decline. With reference to the Derby, we collect that 'an easy settling is very generally anticipated; Mr. Davis, the heaviest loser, is reported to have been hit to the extent of at least 30,0001. Had either Barbarian or Chief Baron Nicholson won he would have " landed" an immense st ake.

LONDON CORPORATION.—Yesterday the Committee on this Bill, Mr. BratilSto ll in the chair, declared the pre amble not proved, and the object of the measure, which was a pposed by thirty-four out of the eighty-four City Companies, was to extend the right of voting at muni cipal elections, now confined to liverymen, to every _lOl. hoseholder. . • [PRICE SD. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. THE NEW CANDIDATE FOR TEWKESBURY. From the Somerset County Chronicle we quote the fol lowing interesting biography of Mr. Edward W. Cox, the new candidate for TeA kesbury:— " Mr. Edward William Cox was the son of the late Mr. William Charles Cox, whose extensive iron and brass foundry gave employment to more than two hun dred of the inhabitants of this town. The family are very ancient and respectable residents of Taunton; and through all its generations the late Mr. W. C. Cox was not the least distinguished of them for that blameless honesty and single-minded liberality in business which has ever been the trust and safeguard of British com merce. " The subject of the present memoir was born in the year 1809, and received the foundations of a classical education at the College School of this town, of which the Rev. T. Forster was at that time the head master. The intelligence and aptitude for learning exhibited by the youth at once attracted the attention of the master, and inspired him with an interest in the progress of his pupil which proved of great advantage to the latter; for when Mr. Forster resign el his office at the College School and returned to New College, Oxford, be carried his favourite pupil with him; and it was there, in thi ancient seat of learning, with its impressive associations; and under the guidance of Mr. Forster, that the a . lion of Mr. Cox was completed. His family originally destined him for the Church, but, wisely leaving him discretion in the matter, he fixed his own choice. 04 that profession for which his mental culture and 'ae!iira disposition so peculiarly fitted bias—the Law. Accord ingly, when he:had completed his studies at Oxford, he returned to Taunton, and was articled to his uncle, Mr. Trench ard, then one of the most respectable solicitors in the town. "At the age of 17 Mr. Cox edited the West of Eng land Magazine, which was printed and published at Taunton, and which he conducted for about two years, aided by his cousin, afterwards the Rev. W. Trenchard, by whose early death the Church was deprived of one at its most pivntieing ornamentL.wred poem. en titled ' The Opening of the Sixth Seal,' which was much praised by the literary organs of the day and passed into two editions; many occasional contributions to the various' Annuals,' at that time so much in fashion; and a semi-satirical poem, entitled' 1829,' may be noticed among the early productitions of his muse; and the meed of public praise awarded to all of them might easily have tempted a less resolute mind into de serting the solid but more prosaic advantages of pro fessional life for the specious but delusive paths of literature. " More congenial, however, to his active disposition seemed the pursuit of politics; and at this early age he obtained employment as the Taunton correspondent of the Sherborne Journal, in which cgpscity he acquired the rudiments of that intimate acquaintance with the mysteries of journalism which has proved so invaluable to him in after life. At this time he also wrote a his torical romance, entitled "fhira, or the Cairn Braich,' which was afterwards published in the columns of this journal, where it excited a great deal of interest. We are not aware if it has appeared in any more formal shape. "In the year 1830, when he was twenty-one years of age, he went up to the metropolis for the purpose of completing his legal education, and, having been ad mitted an attorney, during the same year, he returned to Taunton, whore he had resolved to practise, and busily occupied himself in the formation of a proles• sional practice at once lucrative and highly respectable. "At this period, the Reform party bad no public organ in West Somerset, and Mr. Cox considered that, in founding a newspaper to support them, he would not only be advancing his own interest, but also effecting a great amount of public good. Encouraged by the leaders of that party ho established the Somerset County Gazette. Maintaining on the one hand the principles of the Whig party, and on the other strenuously opposing everything that came in the guise of an irrational inno vation—a Liberal, without being a Democrat—Mr. Cox successfully conducted this newspaper, without any as sistance, until the period of his leaving the country Er the metropolis, when he transferred it to Mr. Woodley, the present proprietor. "In conjunction with other gentlemen of literary tastes in this town, be established a sort of club for the discussion of general questions and the reading of ori ginal papers, which were afterwards published under the title of The Conversazione,' and were read with great interest. To this periodical Mr. Cox contributed very copiously, and it was in its pages that his 'Recollections of the Life of a Lawyer,' an interesting series of tales founded upon events in real life, originally appeared. "In the year 1835 ho married Sophia, daughter of the late Wm. Harris, Esq., surgeon, of the Royal Artillery. She died, however, in 1838, leaving one child, a son, who is still living. Daring the whole of this period he was conducting a large and steadily-increasing practice i❑ his prof• scion, but after the death of his wife he resolved to abandon the lower branch of the law for the more aspiring, if less lucrative, practice of the Bar. Accordingly, in the early part of the year 1838, having completed all neces sary arrangements, dispo,ed of his practice and of his interest in the Somerset County Gazette, he entered his name as a student. at the Middle Temple and finally de parted from his native town. From this time he bade adieu to politics. Entirely e ngrossed by the earnest and Liborious study cf his prorcssion, ho dedicated his thoughts and his studies to the law alone. His long up preudoe.ship to the business of journalism, added to his legal knowledge acquired in his acquaintance with both brariehes of the profession, especially qualified on theified him to undert a k e suc h an enterprise, and accordingly 21 of March, 1843, the first number of the Law Times appeared, and met with that unqualified success which has ever since attended it. It is now the recognised organ cf the legal profession; and from the time of its commencement to the present day Mr. Cox has been the sole editor and proprietor, aided by a large body of learned contributors. To commence andctt.ih a conduct so large an enterprise necessarily required outlay of capital and a very expensive establishment; but we are enabled to state that Mr. Cox undertook the whole of this without having received the slightest as sistance, either pecuniary or otherwise, from any other person. Finding that the machinery necessary for one would also suffice for two periodicals, Mr. Cox's active mind deviSed the plan of The Critic; and here, where the ground indeed appeared to be !thready so fully occu pied by the Atheneum and the Literary Gazette, the in variable success which has attended him in all his ven tures did not desert him, and he has distanced all LiS e:mpetitors. For several years The Critic was con ducted at a considerable loss, but Mr. C.tx had confi dence that steady perseverance and the undoubted talent of its contributors could not fail sooner or later to at tract the notice of the public; and in this he was not deceived. The Critic is now a most valuable property, for it circulates upwards of 7.000 copies, and its adver tisements are far more numerous than those of any other literary journal. During the following year, he established The Magistrate, a monthly journal, to be a medium for communicating to the magistrate of the country such of the current law as more particularly affects their duti , s. When the County Courts came into operation, the necessity t'or a good collection of reports of the law to be administered in these courts at n o e n e c d e occurred to Mr. Cox and he accord a P ffectie theei. elusively devoted to them and the a .

Bittlestons, Esq., and the Jitter to Morgan Lloyd, Esq., by whom they are now ably edited. "In she year 1846, Mr. Cox commenced the series of criminal reports so well known as Cox's Criminal Law Cases, which ho still continue s . They are much in re quest by the profession, and received as the authority in tnis branch of the law, Besides those periodical publi cations, Mr. Ccx has published, within the lust nine Seaga, ' The tf La o II o : i ng and w orks'— "Practice of Elections,'—(This has gone through six editiot u o b r 1 e ' I . 2lnovals:—(T wo edi to)CnEso.o)ps 3 2 : " The Teo Practice D l e sof Lions.) 4.

" Mr. Cox was called to the bar in 1843, and imme diately joined the Somerset Sessions and the Western Circuit, upon both of which he attained an almost im mediate success. lie soon became famous for the de fence of prisoners, for which part his mental quick ness, his comprehensive grasp of facto, and his oratorieul powers, always ready for use, fitted him.

Daring the same period, he has founded three extensive puhlic companies, now fl )nrishing; one of which was an invention of his own, and over which he presides, and yet withal every v:e..ition has been occupied in foreign travel,—he having, during the same period, visited almost every country in Europe, and made acquaintance with the social and political institutions of their inha bitants. " Ilis establishment is immense, even for London. Up wards of 2.50 persons are engaged upon its various de partments; upwards of ten thousand acccuuts are kept there; and the magnitude of the transactions may be judged by the fact that the postage-stamps alone exceed 4001. par annum, showing a correspondence of nearly one hundred thousand letters in a year." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Legislative Body met on Wednetday at two o'clock, M. BILLAULT in the chair.

The discussion on the report concerning the Sologne was fixed for Saturd ay , and that on the definitive settlement of the budget of 1848 for Tuesday. The sitting then termi na t e d at three o'olock. The Moniteur says :—" Some foreign journa l s persisting in their systematic hostility to the Govern' went of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic, re proach him with exercising at this moment at Madrid an influence contrary to the maintenance of the con stitution. This imputation has not the least founda tion. The French Government is too jealous of its in dependence not to respect that of others, and it would fail in its principles by mixing itself up in the in terior affairs of Spain:' We read in a Paris letter, in the Emancipation of Brussels :—" The journey of M. BERRYER on the continent is not without importance. lam assured that he was received at Laeken by the KING of the BELGIANS. At Dresden he had a conference with the King of SAXONY, whose daughter is to marry the Emperor of AUSTRIA. I am assured, from good authority, that he was received at Berlin or Potsdam by the King of PRUSSIA and the Emperor of RUSSIA. He is now at Frohadort. Two letters recently received from the Duchess of ORLEANS contain passages relative to the fusion, but there is a difference be tween them which may be pointed out. The first, which is addressed to the Marquise DE LEBAII, is es sentially fusionist, for the Marquise is very devoted to the fusion. The second, addressed to the Marquise DE L'AIGLE, who is more Orleanist, is less precise. The Duchess restricts herself to saying that the majority of the members of her family regard the fusion as a useful mea sure, but that she makes a reservation of the rights of her son, the Count DE PARIS. The Jewish Hospital in the Rue de Picpus, built by Baron JAMES DE ROTHSCHILD, was inaugurated yesterday with great ceremony. The Minister of Public Works and the Prefect of the Seine were pre sent, as were also an immense number of ladies and gentlemen. M. A. CARES addressed the company in a very appropriate speech, in which be pointed out in the strongest colours the noble act 3 of chari!y• which hed been performed by the ROTHSCHILD family. The BkRON replied by expressing his hope that the building which they had met together to inaugurate would tend to as s uage the cuff-rings and promote the comforts of his fellow creatures, and call down the blessings of the ALMIGHTY on their efforts. The Minister of Public Iti,rks then addressed Baron DE ROTHSCHILD as follows : " Wee be to him who cannot find in his heart to praise and celebrate what we now see and hear. In contemplating the edifice which you have just raised for such a noble purpase, I am happy to find myself the organ of the Prince, to whom the welfare cf the suffering people is so dear. lam pleased to testify hero all The i;tatitude which is due to the co oporation which M. de Rothschild lends to the Government. I will inform_the Prince of all I have seen, and I am sure that a more flattering testimony from the Chief of the State will confirm all that I have said before Baron James de Rothschild." The ceremony concluded by a collection made by the ladies patroness:es, and by the installation of a marble bust of 111. DE ROTHSCHILD in the vestibule of the building. The Countess DE Burros, niece of DAURENTON, the anatomist, has died at her country seat of Mont bard, aged 77. She was married to the son of the celebrated naturalist.
