Assurances for terms of years are granted on the lowest possible rates. DIVISION- OF PROFITS.

F. F eaERGUSON cAMUOITX, Secretary, NOTICE TO EQUITABLE POLICY HIDERS. uNITED KINGDOM LIFE A SURANCE COMPANY, 8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON. The attention of the Equitable Policy Holders is particularly called to thb Half Credit Scales of Premium of this Company, by which Table the Bonus to be declared at the next investigation, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present Annual Payment of one half the rates charged by other Companies. In the event of death, the sum insured will be paid, less the amount of Premiums on Credit. Should the lire insured survive the declaration of the Bonus, the Policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounceal 1 claim for the Half Premiums which may be due thereon ; or, in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the Policy can be kept up by commencing to pay the full Premium of the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last Equitable Division in 1840, when it was largely adopted, and many of the Policies then effected are still in force, and large Bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the following Table: — Sum Assured.

The Periodical Valuation of the Policies effected with this Com pany on the Return System will be made after the 3d of July, 1847, when an equitable proportion of the surplus premiums will be allotted to the holder of every such Policy issued prior to that date. The peculiar feature in the mode of division adopted by this Com pany consists in the admission of every member to participate in the surplus he has assisted to create. The general plan of the office comprises all the real advantages of which the system of life assurance is susceptible. Insurances may be effected on the return or non-return systems ; in either case the assured will be guaranteed from all liability of partnership, and will possess the most ample security arising from the large accumulations of the Company invested in the Government funds, and the unlimited responsibility of its proprietary.

The cloth is made of Llama Wool, a fabric moat agreeably soft and elastic to the touch, and is one-third the weight of ordinary woollen clothes, but it corresponds in shades of colour. It is very durable, and naturally a repellent of rain, yet so porous as to admit of a due escape of exces sive .bodily heat.

STRANRAER, TUESDAY NlGHT.—Considerable alarm was created this morning by the receipt of a communication from the coast-guard station at East Tarbert, distant about fifteen miles from this port, announcing the wreck of one of the Irish packet steam-ships off that coast, with 110 passengers on board. Immediately Lloyd's agent and other persons con nected with shipping proceeded to Tarbert, and on arriving ascertained the report to be only too well founded. The ill fated vessel they found to be the Maiden City, a three masted steamer, Captain Richard Crompton commander, and that she had that morning driven ashore on the rocks under the part of the coast called the Mull of Galloway. The vessel, it appears, had for some time been running between Liverpool, Portrush, and Londonderry, with passengers, &c. She left Liverpool yesterday (Monday) at one o'clock, P.M., having upwards of one hundred passengers on board. The weather was as fine as could be anticipated, and so continued till near eleven o'clock, when the atmosphere became hazy. The course of the steamer was then, as we are informed, N.N.W., approaching the coast of Wigton, on the extreme south-westpm part of Scotland, between 120 and 140 miles from Liverpool. It appears almost certain that she was out of her track—whether from neglect or the force of currents it is impOssible at present to state. Notwithstanding the dense state of the atmosphere, the engines were kept going, as it is alleged, at full speed, when about one o'clock she struck violently the rocks before mentioned. A scene of the most painful character ensued amongst the pas sengers. Such was the force of the shock as to carry away part of her keel and hull, and the sea rapidly washing into her, compelled the passengers who were below to come on deck—many females, it is stated, being nearly drowned in their berths. The captain perceiving the perilous condition of his vessel, and that she was fast sinking, kept her engines going at full speed, and succeeded in running her nearer the coast. Had the distance been much farther, in all probabi lity she must have foundered, and a fearful loss of life been the result. Another fortunate circumstance was the mild state of the weather—there being very little sea on. Signal guns having been fired, assistance was obtained, and the ter rified passengers were all landed in safety. On the dispatch of the last accounts from the spot it was expected the vessel would become a total wreck. MEXICAN BONDS.

The following has been posted at Lloyd's : HydrograßpEhßmic-uoDffiA 2G UT. Admiralty,n July 1, 1846. On the Ist of May last, a revolving light was established on the southern part of the island of Bermuda, in lat. 32 min. 14 deg. north, and long. 64 min. 51 deg. west. Every minute it brightens up in a strong glare, which continues for six or eight seconds, and which being 365 feet above the level of the sea, is visible at the distance of seven or eight leagues, and from all round the horizon, except between the bearings of N. 64 deg. E. to N. 74 deg. E., where it will be intercepted by high land. Within the distance of seven miles a faint but prominent light may be seen between the brilliant flashes. At night, or in thick weather, it is not advisable to make Bermuda to the northward of 38 deg. 8 min. north lat., until the light of the land is seen. In coming from The 'westward, the light should not be ap proached nearer than twelve miles, unless brought to bear to the northward of N.E. by E. A vessel making the light to the southward should haul off immediately, as reefs extend from it to a dfgtance of sixteen miles to the northward. Considerable stir has been created by the announce ment that the Rev. John George Wenham, 8.A., .demy of Magdalen College; Oxford, has becOme a Roman Catholic. Mr. Wenham was tsken out last year by Dr. Chapman, the first Protestant Bishop of Columbo, in order to superintend clerical education in the diocese, and to act as the Bishop's examining chaplain. It is feared that this secession will pre vent the appointment of further Colonial Bishops, who for the most part have been 'taken from the high-church party. —Cambridge Advertiser. • The prospects of the wheat harvests are everywhere most promising, and reaping has commenced in somee dis trictsiethis • county.

WATERLOO-PLACE,PATJL-MALL, LONDON. THE GENERAL MEETING OF PROPRIETORS. The Meeting of the Shareholders was -- held in the office of the Company, No. 8, Waterloo-place, London, on FRIDAY, July 10, 1846. JAMES STUART, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the Chair. The annual report.of the receipts and disbursements of the Com• Pant', to the 31st of December, 1845, and of the amount of their funds, and also the report prepared by the auditors of the Company of the accounts of the Company, having been, in terms of the deed of settlement, laid before the meeting and read, they proceeded, as re quired by that deed, to the election of four Directors and one Auditor, in the room of those retiring at the annual meeting. The Chairman then expressed the satisfaction which the Board of Directors had in meeting the Proprietors of the Company, and having an opportunity of making them acquainted with the state of their affairs for another year. There is now laid on the table a detailed statement of their accounts, framed by their Secretary and Aci countant, from the formation of the Company, twelve years ago, to the 31st of December, 1845, which contains well-arranged informa tion, amply sufficient to explain to the Proprietors the continued suc cessful progress of the Company in the amount of insurances, of premiums, of their funds, and annual income. 1. The amount of assurances effected in the year, from the Ist of January to the 31st of December, 1845, is 405,6341.—a sum greater by 62,5101. than in the year 1844. The regularly and almost un interruptedly progressive increase of the business of the Company cannot be more convincingly proved than by reference to the amount of sums annually assured by the Companysince its formation in 1834. For the first seven years they averaged above 200,0001. a year. Their amount in round numbers was : £272,000 I In 1844 ••• • • • • • £343,000 1842 .......• • • .... 284,000 And in 1845.. • .., .. 405,634 1843 .• • -• It may be proper to notice, that had all the proposals for insurance offered to the Directors during the year been accepted the amount would have been 623,989/. 2. The amount of premiums had of course progressively increased, being— In 1841.. ••.•• • .• £42,000 In 1844.. ••..• • .. • .. £63,000 1842.......... - •••. • • • • 72,000 1843.... ••• • . in 1844. 3. The annual Income of the dompany to the 30th of June, 1846 is, as nearly as it can be ascertaiiied, 84,8381. 6s. Id., greater by 2,7371. Bs. 3d. than at the 30th of Jnne, 1845. It is to be observed that the amount of disbursements has been much increased, and of Income diminished during the last year, by the large capenclitare in the purchase of the premises, Nos. 8 and 9, Waterloo-place, inclu ding the houses formefly occupied by this Company and by the London and Westminster Bank, and in the alterations and improve ments necessary to render them available for the purposes of the Company. The agencies of the Company, especially at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle-on-Tyne, and Dublin, are in a flourishing state. The amount of sums 'annually assured by the agent at Glasgow in the three last years has varied from 50,0001. to 96,0001. The premiums received from Glasgow during the last year, 1845, amounted to 5,250/. The Proprietors are of course aware that, in terms of the deed of settlement, divisions of the profits of the business of the Company must be made at intervals of not less than five and not more than seven years, so that the first division having been made up to the Ist January, 1841, a division might have been made up to Ist January, 1846. On giving due consideration to the reports and calculations of their actuary, Mr. King, who had bestowed great attention on the subject, and has had several meetings with them, it appeared in the end to all the Directors, some of them being at first of different senti ments, that It was more for the interest of the Company, and of course more expedient, to delay the next division of profits to Ist January, 1848. It only remained for him to congratulate the proprietors on their now, for the first time, assembling in a house and offices in point of situation, accommodation, and in all respects so admirably suited for their extensive establishment. They had only one cause of regret, that the active and zealous manager of the Company's concerns from the outset, the resident director, Mr. Boyd, was prevented, by continued indisposition, from having the enjoyment so Dully as he otherwise would have had, of the superior accommodation which the improvements made in the house afforded. He was sorry to observe Mr. Boyd's presence in the meeting, because he knew that it was at the risk of his health. Indeed, notwithstanding his long-continued indisposi tion, he had very regularly attended the meetings of the board, evincing the same zeal and interest for the welfare of the Company as at any previous period. Mr. De Castro conceived that, after the lucid explanation of the Company's affairs given by their respected chairman, Mr. Stuart, very little was necessary on his part to add to that satisfactory statement; but he took this opportunity, in rising to return the proprietors thanks for the renewed conflidence they had just conferred on him by his re-election as a director, to answer the inquiries made by some of the proprietors as to the present ap plication of their funds. Besides their paid-up capital, a large investment had lately been made in Government securities ; upwards of 175,0001. Is due to the Company on loans, rever sions, &c.; and sums of considerable amount are in the bands of their bankers, and have been applied in the purchase of their valua ble premises in Waterloo-place. Their property had been uniformly so securely applied, that their whole loss by bad debts in the course of twelve years only amonnted to 6001. It was proposed by John Connell, Esq., seconded by M. D. Lindo, Esq., and resolved unanimously—That the report be received and approved. Thanks of the meeting were then moved by A. H. Macdougall, Esq., seconded by D. Q. Henriques, Esq., and resolved unanimously, to the Chairman, Deputy-Chairman, and Directors, for the attention and ability continued to be shown by them in the arrangement of the affairs of the Company. M. D. Lindo, Esq., said, that he took upon himself to propose, in dependent of the foregoing resolution, a special vote of thanks to Ed ward Boyd, Esq., the resident Director, and founder of the Company, for his indefatigable zeal in bringing it to its present state of prospe rity ; which was seconded by John Mitchell, Esq., and carried una nimously. JAS. STURT, Chairman. The most cordial thanks of the meeting were then voted to James Stuart, Esq., the Chairman, for his able and courteous conduct in the chair.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their,several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and fature race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fififilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lik e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation 7f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

HAMBURGII MAIL BERLIN, JULY 11.—The wish of the King of Saxony, on his visit to Sans Souci, to take the opportunity to visit the beautiful island of Rugen, which steam navi gation now makes it easy to do in so short a time, co inciding with the intention of Princess Charles, and her youngest daughter, to take the benefit of sea bathing, induced part of our Royal family to make an excursion to that island. Accordingly, on the Ist of this month, at half-past six in the morning, his Majesty, accompanied by the King of Saxony, Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, Prince and Princess Charles of Prussia, and the Princesses their daughters, and a suite, consisting of M. Von Thile, Ministere of State, Baron Alexander Von Humboldt, the Saxon Ambassador at this Court, M. Von Minkovitz, and M.- Von Fabriel, Master of the Horse to the King of Saxony, left this cityiby the:railway to Stettin, where they went on board the Queen Eliza beth steamer, and landed at half-past eight in the even ing, at Putbus. The King and the Prince of the Netherlands alighted at the seat of Prince Putbus, and Prince Charles and his family at the apartments engaged for them for some weeks. Intelligence was there re ceived that his Majesty the King of Sweden was ex pected the following morning, being on an excur sion in the province of Scania, and gladly embraced this opportunity to give his daughter the Princess Eugenia the pleasure of again seeing the Princess Louisa of Prussia, youngest daughter of Prince Charles, with whom she had contracted a youthful friendship in 1843. It was therefore resolved to defer till the next morning . an intended visit to the Stubbenkammer. The Swedish royal family arrived on the 2d, and rather unexpectedly, accompanied by the Crown Prince, who had just finished a tour of inspection in Scania. The King gaVe a dejeuner to his illustrious guests, and then went to the Stubbenkammer, where they passed the night. The Crown Prince and Prince Charles returned direct to Putburg, the rest of the com pany went in the steamer to Arcona,, and thence round the east coast of the island to Putburg. After having dined at the residence of the Prince, the King went to compliment the Queen of Sweden on the birth-day of her Royal Consort, which fell on the following day, and with his illustrious guests visited the theatre.

NUTRIMENT IN SUGAR.—The nutritive properties of sugar are much underrated in this country. As an aliment , m e of months, grain portation prevented Dr. Rush, of Philadelphia, maintains that sugar affords the who l wholly on 0 f i t sugar greatest quantity of nourishment, in a given quantity of mat ter, of any subject in nature. H orses a nd cattle were fed at tSt.and Dom importationi from want of ships. During th e cro p time in th e West Indies all appear fat and flourishing. The cattle fe d on the cane tops become sleek and in fine co ndition. The n e groes drink freely of the juice, and become fat and health y . Sir George Staunton observes, that many of the slaves and i dle persons in China hide themselves amo n g the canes, and li ve entirely Domingo fo r s o on them for a time.. In that kingdom, the Emperor compels his body-guard to eat a certain quantity of sugar every day, that they may become fat, and look portly. Sugar and rice constitute the common food of the people, and every kind of domestic animal is fed on sugar. Plagues, malignant fevers, and disorders of the breast, are unknown in the countries where sugar is abundantly eaten as food.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) George Hyams, 25, was indicted for burglariously break ing and entering the dwelling-house of William Farrer Ste vens, at Bulphan, and stealing a gun and other articles, his property. Mr. T. Chambers conducted the prosecution. The circumstances under which this offence was committed appeared by the evidence to be of a very outrageous charac ter. The prosecutor is a farmer, residing near Romford. and on the night of the 18th of December he was awoke by hear ing a noise in the lower part of his house, when he dressed himself, took a pair of pistols, and jumped out of the window, and he immediately saw a man, who presented a pistol at him, and with an oath said, " You you are dead," at the same instant discharging the pistol, and he was slightly wounded in the head, He tried to discharge one of his own pistols, but it missed fire, and he then ran away to obtain as sistance, and as he was doing so, the man fired a second pis tol at him which fortunately missed him. On his return to the house shortly afterwards he discovered that entrance had been obtained by forcibly breaking down a door on the ground floor, which had been bone apparently with a bricklayer's hammer, which was found on the premises, and a valuable gun and some other articles had been stolen. The prose cutor could not identify the man who fired at him as his face was blackened, but the case was clearly made out by the evidence of an accomplice named George Freeman, who was one of the party concerned in the outrage. This man stated, that on the day in question he started with the prisoner. and a man named Scovell from London, and they arrived at the prosecutor's house about twelve at night, and that Scovell then said he would not go any further 'without getting some money, and he then produced a pair of pistols and a bricklayer's hammer, and he (the witness) kept watch while the other two men broke into the house, and he soon afterwards heard the reports of two pistols. He likewise stated that Scovell and the prisoner blacked their faces and took off their shoes before they went into the house, and that after the pistols had been fired Scovell came out and said, they must be off, and they all three went away and slept under,a hedge, and next day Scovell and the prisoner went back to London. The prisoner, who appeared to be a hardened desperate fellow, cross-examined the witness Freeman at considerable length, and asked him whether he was not the ringleader, and whether he did not take them down to commit the rob bery, and tell them he knew the house, as he had formerly been in Mr. Stevens's employ. The witness denied that this was the case, and said that he should not have watched while the robbery was being com mitted if Scovell had not threatened to shoot him if he did not do so, and he was frightened he would kill him. The prisoner here exclaimed, " Ah, that's very likely. You are a pretty fellow to be frightened." Baron PARKE asked the prisoner whether he wished to put any other questions to the witness? Prisoner (in an impudent tone) —No, I shan't ask him any thing more • it's no use. Some other evidence was then adduced, corroborating in several important particulars the statement of the witness Freeman. The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence, merely repeated his former statement, that the witness Freeman was the man who planned the robbery. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Baron PARKE then sentenced the prisoner to be trans ported for 15 years, and he ordered that a reward of 101. should be paid to Smith, an inspector of the Essex constabu lary, and another officer of the same force, for their activity and zeal in tracing out the case and apprehending the prisoner. The other man, Scovel, was convicted at a former assize, and sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. Patrick Connor, 30, was indicted for feloniously and maliciously setting fire to the common gaol of Romford, the said building being said to be the property of the High- Steward of that place. Mr. Marsh conducted the prosecution. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner, who was in cus tody upon a charge of deserting from the 18th Regiment, was taken on the 4th of July from Ilford Gaol under a mili tary escort, to be conveyed to the head-quarters of the regi ment, and he was placed in Romford Gaol at night for secu rity, there being no other prisoner at the time in the establishment. Very soon afterwards the place where the prisoner was confined was discovered to be in flames, and on the door being opened he was taken out nearly suffocated, and it was ascertained that the straw in the prisoner's bed had been entirely consumed, and the building was burnt in several places. Mr. Anderson, the governor of Ilford Gaol, also deposed that while the prisoner was in his custody he admitted that he had wilfully fired the place, and also stated that he had been ill used in his regiment, and he would rather be transported than go back to it. The prisoner in his defence said, that on the way to Rom ford he bad purchased a box of lucifer matches, and that after he was locked up he lighted his pipe and fell asleep on the bed and it accidentally took fire. He said he had served ten years abroad, and was engaged in the war in China and other places, and it was not very likely he should wilfully have set fire to the place when he might have lost his own life. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 16. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CaEiswEr.r...) Martha Duck, a woman aged 29, late of Scarborough, was indicted for having, on the 11th of May last, at Newby, un • lawfully exposed to the cold her infant male bastard child, with intent to kill and murder the said child. Mr. Bliss and Mr. Travers conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was not defeneded by counsel. Wm. Wilson, assistant to 111 r. Spink, butcher, of Scarbo rough, stated that on the 11th of May he was in a field of his master's, near the road leadinff from Scarborough to Whitby. From that he could see into a held belonging to a Mr. Watson, and there he perceived the prisoner walking about. Watched her for some time, and saw her go into a barn which stands in the field. She shortly after left the barn again, and went near to a hedge. Saw her there squat down close by the hedge, and, on rising, leaVe something like a cloth, which she put on a bush. Afterwards she walked about for some time, looking around her, and after that she lay down for a time in a field belonging to one Hopper. Watched her further, the witness being under a cliff, but the prisoner, getting on higher ground, perceived him. He then went up to her, and spoke to her. She appeared to be large in the Emily way. This occurred at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Henry Richmond, another witness, said that be was in Watson's field at about six o'clock the same evening, and there heard a noise as of the cry of a child, which;proceedel from the hedge bottom. A boy who was there and the wit ness went and found a male child under the hedge. It was covered with leaves and grass, and there was some blood upon it. The boy picked it up, and put it into the hand kerchief of witness, who took it to a Mrs. Ireland, living at a short distance off. The witness stated to the Judge that there was no regu lar footpath by where the child was found. It was found at about 200 yards from the barn. Saw no people at work near the spot. Mrs. Ireland said that she received the child from the last witness, and observed that it was newly born, and that the navel-string was not tied. She gave it a little gin and water, and then delivered the child to another woman, by whom it was suckled, and it was subsequently taken to the Scarborough union workhouse, Newby township, being within that union. Mr. Thomas Dunkerley, the master of the workhouse, said that the child was brought there by Anne Pexton, Mrs. Ire land's niece, and Smallwood, the overseer of the township. The infant had severe fits for some days after it came, but it was still living. Richard Roberts, superintendent of the Scarborough police, had taken the prisoner on the 14th of May. Told her what for. She told him that she had not had a child for 10 or 11 years. Mr. William Henry Wilson, medical officer of the union, examined the prisoner after her apprehension. She had then been delivered of a child about a week. Mr. Cross, the surgeon, saw her, and told her he was grieved to see her in that situation, and then she said that the child was hers. Witness asked her where the after-birth was, and she an swered that it was in the field, and said that she had severed the navel-string of the child by tearing it with ber fingers. Mr. Richard Cross, surgeon, deposed that the prisoner told him she was on her way to Suffield, a village about six miles from Scarborough, at the time it occurred to her. Her regular residence was at Suffield. The field in which she was seen, and where the child was found, was not the nearest way from Scarborough to Suffield. It would be a great dis tance round to go that way. Witness had before attended prisoner, and in October last she was in a state of pregnancy. The prisoner was convicted —Sentence deferred. Jane Briggs, a handsome and respectable-looking young woman, was tried upon an indictment charging her with having, on the 3d of April last, at Eastrington, in the East Riding, endeavoured to conceal the birth of her infant female child, by putting the dead body of the said child into a pond, and thereby secretly disposing of it. Another bill of indictment had been preferred against the prisoner, charging her with the murder of the same child, but that bill the grand jury ignored. Mr. Temple, with Mr. Dearsley, appeared to conduct the prosecution, and Mr. Bliss to defend the prisoner. The prisoner, it appeared, was a daughter of a farmer at Eastrington.. She was married about five years ago, but about threeyears back her husband left her to go to America. On -the 12th of May, in the forenoon, awitness, Ann Jackson, was crossing the foot-path which leads through a field called Samuel Hill's close, in Blacktoft, which field lies near the prisoner's father's house, and had formerly been in his occupation. The witness saw a bundle in the pond, which, having taken it out, proved to be the body of a female infant, wrapped and sewed up in a piece of cloth or blanket. At tached to the bundle there was a brick, fastened with a piece of cord. There was also the piece of a bedgown, and an old silk apron, forming part of the wrapping round the body. The body, with the clothes, were given to Mr. Raines, surgeon, of Newport, and by him to Thomas Rennison, a farmer, of Blacktoft, who placed them in a stable, where they were locked up for safety. Mr. Raines stated that the appearances of the child, though the body bad become decomposed, were healthy. It was a fine child; the lungs floated, and the stomach was empty, but healthy. He was of opinion that the child had not died a natural death. There was extravasation of blood externally on the chest, and he considered that to have been caused by some blunt instrument during life—by a blow, and not by pressure. Mr. Hill, of South Cave, surgeon, agreed in th e views ex pressed by Mr. Raines. The prisoner had been examined by the latter gentleman ' on the 15th of April, when he ascer tained that she had had a child within a month or six weeks. She told him that it was a still •born child, but she did not know when, and had thrown it into the pond naked, and with nothing attached to it. She then mentioned no per son's name o him. Matthew Maguire, superintendent of police, stated that he took the prisoner on the 15th. He found her in aw un occupied house at Eastrington, along with two other women (Ann Norwood and Mrs. Huddlestone), where she was at work, assisting the other two to clean the house. • When he told her he wanted her, she ran to the front door and palled two cloths from her breast, and threw them down. Being told the charge, she first said that she had had no child, and afterwards that the child was still-born,4nd that she had had it by the pond in Sam Hill's closer The body she had put into the pond she said. Witness found in the house a piece of blanket, which appeared to be a part of that found with the child's body. Took the prisoner to the Howden-station, and there cautioned her that she had better ' not say any more to him about the matter; • but slie Would — speak; observing- to . him. that' ;.she was in the habit of talking, even to herself, and could not help it. She then went on to contradict her first statement, saying that her reason for having made it was, that the child being John Norwood's, she did not want to briug him into trouble, as she loved him as well as her husband. The child, she then added, was born in her father's house on the 3d of May, and John Norwood came to the house and into the room soon afterwards. He took the child to the window to look at it, and then told her it was dead, and that he would take it away, and asked her if she had anything in the drawer to lay it in. She told him there was some in the drawer. He then wrapped the child up and took it away under his coat, saying that she might trust to him: that he would have it buried, and that it was all right. The man John Norwood had afterwards been apprehended, but was discharged. Ann Norwood, sister of the man abovementioned, con firmed the constable's evidence as to the conduct of the pri soner at the house where she was apprehended. The piece of blanket found at that house had been brought there by the prisoner. The witness lives with her brothers, John and William Norwood. John was at home on the 3d of May. He went to bed at ten o'clock that night, and did not again go out. Margaret Ward, dressmaker, of Eastrington, stated that she lives in a house near that of prisoner's father. On the 3d of May, between six and seven o'clock in the evening, saw the prisoner pass by her house, which is on the road from Eastrington to Sandholme, wearing a silk cloak, and carrying a basket. She went in the direction of the pond in question, which is but a short distance out of the road. The defence offered by Mr. Buss upon these facts was founded on the supposition that all the prisoner had said in her second statement might really have been the truth, and if so, the Learned Gentleman contended there was no evi dence in the rest of the case to convict her. The prisoner was convicted.—Sentence deferred. The causes tried on the civil side have hitherto been of little public interest, but there are more than the usual num ber of special juries to come. Many of the common jury cases have been struck out of the list, owing to the absence of attorneys or witnesses. Mr. Justice Wightman, in the absence of 'other business to go on 'with, was engaged. this afternoon in trying prisoners. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday a man named William Slater, clerk in the house of Keen, Tebbutt, and Kippin, of 122, Wood street, warehousemen, was brought before Alderman Gibbs, upon the charge of having embezzled sums of money which he was instructed to collect from customers to the firm. Mr. It. Hughes, of Nos. 70 and 71, Chiswell-street, Finsbury, stated that on the 10th instant, the prisoner received, on account of the above firm, the sum of 281. ls. 6d., from him, and signed his name in the book for the amount, the signature answering as a receipt for the money. Mr. J. D. Anderson, also a shopkeeper in Finsbury, stated that on the same day the prisoner received frona him the sum of 121., on account of Messrs. Keen, Teb butt, and Co., and signed his name for the amount, as a receipt. The prisoner, who it was stated had embezzled a larger sum, which was paid to him by another concern, was then remanded till Saturday week. John Lye was brought up charged with stealing a cloak, a shawl, and a coat. The prisoner was seen in company with an accom plice, looking about for something to snatch at. A gen tleman's carriage, which stood near Cripplegate Church, presented an opportunity. The companion of the man at the bar whipped the three above-mentioned articles out of it, handed them to the prisoner, and away they both ran down Cammomile-street. The sudden and dis heartening cry of" stop thief" had the effect of checking and separating them. The prisoner dropped the pro perty, but was apprehended in his attempt to cut through a lane. _ _ _ The prisoner said he was as honest a man as it was easy to find, but unfortunately for the reputation he was entitled to he was poor, and while he was looking about him for employment, a man who was running threw the articles across his arm, and in his confusion he thought it was his business to run after the person who had given him the job, so after that man he certainly did go. :-(A laugh.) It was stated that the prisoner dropped the articles the moment the pursuit was commenced. The prisoner—Yes, I certainly did. I knew nothing of the party that threw them over my arm, and how could I tell whether he came honestly by them or not ? —(Laughter.) I wasn't going to take away things by chance in that sort of a way. Committed for trial. LOSS OF THE MAIDEN CITY MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—A court-martial, compris ing Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., president ' • Cap tains John Pasco, of th e Vi c t or y ; Si r Baldwin Wake Walker, of the Constance ; Woodford I Williams, of the Avenger ; Commander Willcox, of the Victory ; and Mr. George Lamburn Greetham, Deputy Judge Advocate of the Fleet, assembled this morning, on board the Victory, to try Mr. William Ellis, superrr., inerary carpenter of the Victory, on the followit: charge : " For that he, the said Mr. William Ellis, then being a supernumerary carpenter of her Majesty's ship Vic-' tory, did, on the 13th of June, 1846, embezzle and im properly take away from her Majesty's ship Trinco malee, in Portsmouth Dockyard, four pounds of paint composition, and five ounces of nails and brads." Sergeant Catling, of the dockyard police, proved he saw the prisoner coming out of the blacksmith's shop in this dockyard, about half-past one P.M., on the day stated in the charge, and he appeared to have something weighty in his coat pockets ; that on the prisoner's coming out of the dockyard he (witness) searched him, and found in his coat pocket a small wooden box, with a tin cover, which box was full of mixed paint. In his hat was found a tin canister or pot, also filled with mixed paint. While being searched the prisoner took out of his trousers pocket, and delivered to witness, some iron nails, also Queen's stores, and marked with the broad arrow, which, together with the paint, he acknowledged to having abstracted from the Trincomalee corvette under his charge. Lieutenant Henry Watson Hall, director of the dock yard police, proved the prisoner's acknowledgment of having taken the stores from the Trincomalee. Mr. James Horsey, clerk to the storekeeper of Ports mouth Dockyard, proved Sergeant Catling's delivery to him of the stores found upon the person of the pri soner ; the value of the paint, nails, and brads was about ls. 3d. This was the case for the prosecution, which being closed, Mr. C. H. Binsteed, of Portsmouth, the prisoner's solicitor, applied for time to make out the defence, alleg ing he should be able to prove his client was of unsound mind, and not consequently answerable for the commis sion of the act set forth in the charge. The Court allowed until to-morrow at nine o'clock, A. 31., and then adjourned. TUESDAY.—The Court met this morning at nine, but immediately after adjourned until nine to-morrow morn ing, to await instructions from the Admiralty, the Pre sident having doubts as to the legality of trying the prisoner by a court-martial for the offence with which he stood charged. WEDNESDAY.—The usual signal gun was fired at eight o'clock this morning, and at nine the members of thst Court were all re•assembled, when War-Admiral Parker stated that, having consulted the law officers of the Crown upon the case, he had come to the conclusion that the ptisoner could not be legally tried by a court-martial. He thereupon committed him to the custody of the civil power, and the accused will take his trial at the next general quarter sessions for the borough. The Court was then dissolved. THE CHANNEL SQUADRON. Extract of a private letter, dated Cork, July 11, 1846 : —" I have just time to send you a line to inform you that to-day, rather suddenly, a signal was made to land field pieces, and man and arm boats, &c. About 1,300 ma rines were landed, and 14 field-pieces, at a place called Cork Bay. There was some little difficulty in landing the cannon, owing to its being low water. Everything else went on well. There was no firing, it being intended as a prelude to Monday next, when a regular field day, with firing, is to take place. The field-pieces were manned by the seamen, who went through the exercise with much spirit and good will. The whole was under the command of Captain Willes, of the Vanguard." The Avenger, steam-frigate, Captain W. J. William.;,, although far from complete, being still in the hands of the joiners and painters, went out of harbour to-day, being required for the service of his Highness Ibrahim Pacha and his suite to-morrow. The royal yacht will be reported ready for the use of her Majesty to-night. All the workmen are to be out of her this evening. It is understood that her Majesty, with the Prince and Royal Family, will embark in her to-morrow, should the weather prove favourable, and take a short excursion, accomp`anying Ibrahim Pacha, in the Avenger, outside the Isle of Wight, as a parting com pliment to the illustrious stranger. The Raven cutter, Lieutenant Commander Stephen, arrived from Sheerness last evening, bringing the marines belonging to this division paid off from the Albatross, and supernumeraries. She sails to-morrow morning for North Yarmouth with naval stores. DEATH OF JOHN CLAUDIUS BERESFORD, ESQ. The name of Mr. Beresford is identified with the mer cantile, political, municipal, and social history of Ire land. He is no more; and at his death was nearly the last specimen of a class now fast passing away into ano ther world. Mr. Beresford was senior partner in one of the greatest banking-houses ever established in this country; he represented the metropolis at, and for many years previous to the union; and was one of the first members after that event, selected for the Imperial Parliament • he was an Alderman, and served t he office of Lord Mayor for the city of Dublin with princely with man with a kinder hea rt or more benevolent disposition hospitality; and in his habits and nd intercourse his fellows he was joyous, fran k, and entertaining. from e o ni po whence - n ever lived, or a truer -hearted friend or more g enero us family o r charitable individual never existed. At the period of t he union, and when the Beresford were e m tent in this country, and the source power, and patronage, and promotion flowed, he was the only man of his name—resisting all influence, and re jecting every entreaty—who stood forward the firm and consistent opponent of the measure, and the Irish House of Commons did not contain a more fierce or decided anti-unionist than John Claudius Beresford. In the terrible times of '9B, as Commandant of the Merchants' corps of yeomanry, a severe and distressing duty was committed to its captain. The exigency of the times, and the very nature of the functions to be admi nistered, required a man firm of heart, resolute of pur pose, quick of conception, and rapid in execution. The very occupancy of such a position, under such circuni. stances, and at such a crisis, of course brought upon him the malignant vituperation of the rebellious and disloyal, whose schemes it was his business to expose and frustrate, and whose plots it was his duty to detect and defeat; and hence it was that a charac ter was drawn of him—one which no man ever did less to earn. But let us draw a veil over these terrible times, and let us bury in oblivion the transactions of half a century in time. Long and many a year ago, Mr. Beresford, in the true spirit of a Christian, forgave his enemies, persecutors, and slanderers—departing this life at peace with all the world. He had attained his eightieth year, and died without enduring sickness, or suffering pain ; and so very tranquil were his last mo ments, that those around his death-bed were unable to pronounce the precise period at which the vital spark became extinguished.—Dublin Evening Mail. A most comical mistake occurred in the transmission of the new Irish Chancellor's appointment. As Sir Frederick Pollock sat after dinner ruminating on the sad mutability of parties and the glorious im-mutability of the bench, thank ing God that he was not, like other Sir Fredericks, doomed to stand afar off in penitent despondency, a letter on her Majesty's service was brought to him, which conveyed the startling intimation that my Lord Chief Baron was to con sider himself henceforth Lord Chancellor of Ireland.
