LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER, 19, 1837, THE PROTESTANT DISSENTERS' LIFE AND FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY, Fottnded ter the purpose of Insuring the Lives and Property of Dissenters, Methodists, and other persons of proved temperate habits, at rates of premium equitably adapted to the diminished risk which accurate calculations have demonstrated that those habits occasion. Temporary Offices, 17, Cornhill. To be incorporated by Act of Parliament. Capital, One Million, in 10,000 Shares of 1001. each; Deposit 21. per share. No Shareholder to be allowed to hold more than 100 Shares. No Partnership between the Assurers and the Assured. The whole of the Profits to be divided among the Shareholders, save One Tenth Part, which will be annually devoted to the benefit of the Families of Deceased Ministers. In order to furnish such a fund as will place the Company on the firmest possible foundation, and enable them instantly to meet any and every exigency from death or fire, it is proposed that a deposit of two pounds per Share shall be paid at the period of allotment, and a further call of one pound per Share, may be made on the sth of April, the sth of June, and the sth of October, 1838, which sums, with the annual premiums, shall be invested in Government and other securities, so as to form an ample and a constantly avail able Guarantee Fund. The experience of the most prudent and prosperous Insurance Offices has demonstrated, that such a Guarantee Fund will be adequate to meet all possible exigencies ; nevertheless, should the general business so greatly increase, by the establishment of Local Boards in every part of the kingdom, as to make it expedient to have an addition to the paid- up capital, the Directors shall be at liberty to allow any portion of the Shareholders to make a further advance, not exceeding five pounds per Share, for which they are to be allowed such a rate of interest as may be determined upon. But, in such case, notice shall be given to every registered Share holder, stating the terms of the advance, so that all may have an equal opportunity of availing themselves of the advantages of the additional investment. By this arrangement, the Company will always possess a Gua rantee Fund, of the largest amount and highest character, for the security of both Shareho'ders and Policy-holders, whill at the same time the Directors will be spared the necessity of •encumbering themselves and the Company with a larger capital than may be either necessary or profitable. Applications for Prospectuses, and for a limited number of Shares may be made until Monday Next, to the Secretary, the Rey. Thomas Price, D.D., at the Offices of the Company; and for Agencies by Shareholders, to the Resident Manager. The Allotment of Shares will probably be made next week.

THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS OFFICE, Among others, are 1. A participation septennially in two-thirds of the Profits, which may be applied either in reduction of the Premium, or to augment the sum assured. On a division of Profits for the seven years terminating on the 25th of March, 1832, Bonuses, amounting from 18s. to 2/. 125. per cent. per annum on the sums assured, varying with the age, were assigned to all Policies for the whole continuance of life effected previously to the 16th May, 1829. t. Premiums may be paid in a limited number of annual Sums, instead of by annual Payments for the whole of life ; the Policy continuing to participate in profits after the payment of such Pre miums bas ceased. 3. The Assurance or Premium Fund is nob subject to any charge for Interest to Proprietors. 4. Permission to pus to Continental Ports between Brest and the Elbe inclusive. b. Parties (including Officers of the Army, Navy, East India ,Company, and Merchant Service) may be assured to reside in or proceed to all parts of the world, at premiums calculated on real data. 6.

CONYERS, Secretary. opinion of the required outlay and ascertainable proceeds on these portions of their expenditure. The estimates of their engineer, which have been hitherto so sa tisfactorily borne out by the contracts entered ihto or up*ards of two-thirds of the distance to 13ridgwater, and by the actnal cost of land already purchased, warrant the directors in assuming that the cost of opening the line to that port, including the stations, loco motive engines, and every other expense, will, at the outside, not exceed thirty-five pounds per share. In stating the dividend tq be reasonably anticipated from this ex penditure, they are se fully sensible et the extent of prejudice they have to enco'µ,;ter , arking less from the misrepresentations of the interest- 4,1, than fro in the inconsiderate assumptions of a few who ar!., unttetplainted with the facts of the question, and the credence yielded by the many to assertions to which they have never exa rnined the proof, that the directors would feel the declaration of truth itself to be unavailing, unless supported by that species and amount of evidence which they well know must remain unshaken by the severest scrutiny. They subjoin, therefore, as an appendix, an abstract, corrected to the present time, of the traffic, proved before the Parliamentary Committee under the investigation of adverse counsel, and illus trated by such references as can leave little room for doubt in minds accessible to the influence of testimony. To those who, dazzled by the celebrity which our great manufacturing towns have obtained from the magnitude and productions, rather than the travelling wants and habits of their population, conclude that these must of necessity create an extent of intercourse, for which it will be vain to seek a parallel in the other districts of the king dom, it will appear remarkable that the coaches at this time daily running betwixt London, Bristol, and Exeter, considerably exceed the entire number plying between London and Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester, before the opening of the Grand Junction Railroad. Yet such is the incontrovertible fact, as will be seen by any one who takes the trouble to refer to the appendix ; and it is on this plain ground, together with the acknowledged cheapness which natural facilities give to the construction of the Bristol and Exeter line, that the directors feel justified in holding out to the shareholders the expectation of a dividend of 13 per cent. on the outly before-mentioned to Bridgwater. To this it may be added that it is the peculiar advantage of this line to open up new sources of profit in its progress, at such short successive distances as can rarely be presented by any similar undertaking. The comple tion of less than ten miles will enable the company, at an ample profit not included in the present or any estimate, to bring the pro ducts of a vast coal-field into the city of Bristol, at a charge of one shilling per ton : twelve additional miles, which bring the line close to the mouth of the Ax, and the natural harbour at Uphill will establish a line of communication betwixt the whole of the South of Ireland (including, of course, the southern coast of Wales), and Bristol, and London, of which the most sanguine can scarcely calculate the advantages ; and eleven miles more, by car rying the line to Bridgwater, will necessarily render it the medium of Intercourse between the Western Counties, and London, and the North. Although, as the subjoined aecounts will shew, the outlay on the works is becoming heavy, the directors expect that the balance in hand, aided by the instalment now in coucse of reseipt, will prevent the necessity, for some months, of a further call on the harcholders. Most of the permanent charges to which the undertaking is sub ject, having been fixed under an expectation that the whole line would be simultaneously in operation—and, under the feeling that all possible economy should be exercised—the directors have ear nestly applied themselves to the subject of retrenchment, have re duced several branches of expenditure, and propose to relinquish a moiety of the compensation, so liberally voted for their servie‘v at the first general meeting. Carefully weighing, therefore, every consideration, whether of a public or private nature, which relates to this undertaking, the directors feel its vigorous prosecution to be their highest duty, and with a steadfast determination to fulfil it, cheerfully appeal to the confidence and support of all who are interested in its completion.

George Green, of No. 31, Star-street, Paddington, deposed that he was foreman to the deceased ; between ten and eleven o'clock on Friday morning last, he (deceased) was standing at the engine-house door, at the time the men were raising up sacks of malt by a wheel ; when about the height of 40 feet, the chain slipped, and the sack in consequence descended, and falling upon the deecaoed, felled him prostrate on the platform ; witness ran to his assistance and found him insensible ; on being raised up the unfortuOte Ilion slightly recovered, and ex claimed, "lam a dead man r' ar l .l complained of an acute pain at the back of the neck ; house, and a melical gentleman promptlytended who l ie w z removed to his own adoptedwot every means to preserve life, but the deceaseu withstanding . gradually got worse, and died on Monday morning. By the Coroner —The sack that fell was of the weight of one cwt. and a half. By the Jury--I do not consider that blame is attached to any party, but that the catastrophe was purely accidental ; the men who were em ployed in raising the sacks were quite sober. Verdict— " Accidental death." Yesterday morning an elderly lady, named Parker, residing in Chester-terrace, Regent's-park, was robbed of her purse, seven sovereigns and some silver, whilst return ing from the city in au omnibus. Two women, of dashing appearance, and remarkably pleasing conversation, were particularly attentive to Mrs. P., from whom they, no doubt, contrived to abstract the purse as they sat on each side of her. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of a hostile nature. took place in a field at the back of Notting-hill, between %ben Walmer, a journeyman carpenter, and Richard Carr, a footman in the employ of J. Wingfield, Esq., of Notting-hill. B o th th e p r i nc i pa l s are C orn i s h me n, ad it bad been arranged that the " affair" should be settled after the Cornish fashion—namely, a bout at single stick, at which game both parties are adepts. - The gentlemen were attended by their respective friends and backers. After " vthacking" one another in gallant style for nearly a quarter of an hour, master " chip" gave his opponent a smart scratch under the left ear, which, according to the rules of the game terminated the contest. The " cause of dispute" arose from the circumstance of the carpenter hav ing insinuated himself into the good graces of a certain " cook," to the discomfiture of Richard's hopes, and whose honour had been so severely wounded that a chal lenge ensued. Last evening a man named Wethers was taken in to the police station-house in Marylebone-lane on a charge of robbery, and when he entered was in a state of intoxi cation. Strict orders were given that attention should be paid to him in his cell, and, after he had been confined about twenty minutes, a sergeant of the D police visited him, when ho found him hanging to the bars of his cell. He was instantly cut down, and, proper restoratives having been adopted, the man was, after a considerable time, re stored to his senses, when he exclaimed, in great anxiety, " What will b ecome o f my p oor w if e and family r The fall was so great that it is a great doubt whether he will survive the injury he has received by his own hands.

LONDON SESSIONS-WEDNESDAY• The Court sat in the Court of Common };leas, John Hogg, an artillery-driver, was indicted for assault ing William Oliver, in the parish of St. Dunstan-in-the- East. William Oliver, on the 22d of September, was on duty in North-lane, Tower-street, when the defendant was exposing his Person in the middle of the street, being at the time very drunk. He remonstrated with him, and was using his best exertions to get him to his quarters in the Tower, when he kicked him so violently that he was obliged to obtain assistance to get there. His abuse was of the grossest character. The witness having stated what hap pened at the Tower, the prisoner was placed in the black hole, and next morning conveyed by a file of soldiers to the Mansion-house, the military authorities at the Tower having consigned the case to a civil tribunal. His violence was so extreme at the Mansion-house that the officers found it ne cessary to handcuff him, and he was subsequently committed to the Compter. The blows inflicted upon him very much injured him, and he. was likely to feel it as long as he lived, The prisoner made a long and rambling defence. He had not the slightest recollection of kicking or ill-using the constable. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The RECORDER observed that soldiers should feel they were subject to the civil law. Nine different times the prisoner had been tried in his regiment, and that spoke pretty plainly the sort of character he was. For this offence the sentence of the Court was, that he be impri soned in the Compter for twelve calendar months, and be kept to hard labour.

In the case of an appeal which was fixed to come on to day, Mr. ADOLPHUS said that, with the consent of Mr. Prendergast, for the other party, they had agreed to post pone it until the next Sessions. The RECORDER questioned the propriety of their delay ing the public business. Mr. ADOLPIIDS considered that if they banded in the consent paper the order of the Court that it should stand over would be made as a matter of course. The RECORDER—But it must still be the order of the Court. Mr. ADOLPHUS thought he could make his election. The RECORDER could not subscribe to that doctrine, and would proceed with the case in its proper turn. This Court should not be made subservient to any other ; they should not sit here to do nothing. Mr. ADOLPHUS begged to be understood as not asking for any personal accommodation, and after some further conversation the matter dropped. The Court then adjourned. SURREY SESSIONS. Yesterday. at Kingston, upon the application of Mr. JEDIMETT, the Magistrates granted fresh licenses to the Surrey, Victoria, and Astley's Theatres. Mr. Jemmett then applied for a renewal of the license to the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall. Sir H. FLETCEER did not rise for the purpose of op posing the license, but merely to state to the Bench a cir cumstance connected with the Gardens that might, if not in some degree remedied by the proprietors, be productive of serious injury. He alluded to the very frequent practice of sending up balloons, which of course, in themselves, could not do any injury, but when their descent took place it caused multitudes of persons to, assemble, and the crops of the farmers frequently received very serious damage, and it might almost be the ruin of a small farmer. He had himself had a field of oats very much injured during the last summer from this cause. _ _ . Mr. Hughes, one of the proprietors, said that they should always be ready to give remuneration in such cases, and they had done so in one instance where the crops of a farmer in Kent had been injured. The amount of the damage was assessed, and they paid it. Mr. HEDGER would not oppose the license being granted, but, while upon the subject, he felt bound to inform the Court that the almost daily balloon exhibitions which had taken place last summer had been a complete nuisance to the persons residing in the neighbourhood, by causing thousands of idle and disorderly persons to congregate out side the gardens, to the hindrance of their business. The license was then granted. Mr. BAGLEY applied to the Bench to grant a license for music and other entertainments, to Mr. John Godfrey, the proprietor of the Albion Concert.room, formerly the Ro tunda, Blackfriars-road. He presented a petition to that effect from Mr. Godfrey, which was signed by fifty trades men residing near the Blackfriars-road. The Court unanimously refused the application. Mr. CHAMBERS applied to the Court to extend the terms of the license granted to Mr. Howard, the proprietor of the St. Helena Tea-gardens, Rotherhithe, and allow him to have other entertainments besides music. The Court refused the application, and would only con sent to give Mr. Howard the usual music license. The visiting Justices made . , a Report to the Bench, re lative to the state of Horsemonger-lane Gaol, from which it appeared that there are at present 300 prisoners confined there, 233 males and 67 females. They reported the pri soners to be very healthy, and generally orderly and well conducted. The Report was confirmed. The business of the County having terminated, the Court proceeded to dispose of the cases of felony. There are only twelve prisoners for trial, four females and eight males. Of these one only could read and write well, six could read imperfectly, and the others could neither read nor write. The offences are of a very trivial character. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Charles Saunders, a bookbinder, appeared before Sir P. LAURIE, to show cause why he should not be com mitted as a vagabond for refusing to support his wife. The defendant grounded his refusal on the alleged mis conduct of his wife. • Mr. Miller, the assistant overseer of St. Sepulchre's, stated that the wife was now chargeable to the parish. The parties had been living separate for seven years. At first the husband allowed the wife 16s. per week, then he reduced the sum to Bs., and at length he discontinued it al together. At a previous hearing the defendant .called Charlotte Barnes, residing at No. 22, Cock-lane, Smithfield, who deposed that for the last fifteen months a person, named Charles Yarworth and Mrs. Saunders; bad been living to gether as man and wife in that house. . Sir J. KEY not being satisfied with her testimony, the case stood over, for further proof of the adultery. The defendant now called another female, who said all She could tell about the matter was, that. she resided in Cock-lane, and that Mrs. Saunders and Yarworth had living together there as man and wife for above a year. T %LIME should not decide that the defendant was 41igation to maintain his wile, but lie ilqw her more than Is. a week. s. per week. Sir I'. released from thb would not artier him to he.. 'l'hc defendant agreed to pay _ know. HATTON GARDEiv.. '-1, nineteen Yesterday Martha Pearce, a wellelookini•g....l years of age, was placed at the bar, before Mr. charged by John. Owen, of No. 10, Cumberland-row, Is lington, with robbing him of a shirt. Mr. LAING (to the prosecutor, who was attired in a flashy style)—What is your charge against the prisoner? Owen (rubbing his hat) —Stealing a shirt. Mr. LAING—What is the prisoner. How did she steal it'? Owen—l formerly lived with her ; but she left me, and took away the shirt. Mr. LAING—Is the property traced? Owen—Yes ; she pledged it, and the pawnbroker is present. Mr. 'Ton, pawnbroker, of Charles-place, Islington, pro duced the shirt, which the prisoner pledged for one shilling. Mr. LAING (to Owen)—Do you mean to say that you did not authorise her to pledge. the article? Owen—l never did. Mr. LAING—Pray, how do you get your living? Owen —I am a butcher. Mr. LAING—Your appearance is anything but that of a butcher. Owen—l buy meat, and sell it again. Mr. LAING (to the officers) —Is he known? I believe he is a very doubtful character? Sergeant Pagan. and King, of N division, replied—" Very doubtful your Wor ship. King said he suspected him of having been concerned in a burglary at the house of Mr. Wotty, butcher, opposite Islington Church, and he had no doubt he could produce evidence: Mr. LAING—Then you mean to take bin into custody ? --King-1 do, your Worship. ' • Mr. LAING (to the prisoner)—What 'account do you give of the transaction ?—Prisoner----I pledged the shirt by his authority. I met him accidenfally;and he induced me by promises to live with him. He bought meat to sell again, but he took a house in Cromer street, Brunswick-square, for the . purpose of carrying on a private still: He was ac. quainted with .a person named Franks, in the employ o' Mr. Wotty, butcher, of Islington ; and they proposed breaking into Mr. Wotty's hou&a and robbing it, which THE YOUTHFUL HUSBAND.—Yesterday - William George Walntacolt, a lad about 16_ years of age, four feet in height, with a snub nose, and who wore a youth's round jacket, was charged, on a warrant before Mr. RAwLINSON, with deserting his wife, who had thereby become chargeable to the parish of St. Marylebone. The complainant, a fair full-faced daughter of the Eme rald Isle, had been in the service of defendant's father, with whom he worked, and who was a master tailor in Great Portland street. The - defendant took much notice of her on her first entering the house, and by his little insinuating manners contrived to creep into her good graces, and even tually to make a seizure of her heart. One evening, being alone in the house, they were sitting on the sofa in the front parlour sipping gin and water, " cold without," when, having talked over their attachment, he suddenly decided that point by proposing to marry her, on condition of its being kept a secret from his father, who might otherwise give him a sound flogging. This was agreed to, a kiss sealed the treaty, and in a short time she became Mrs. Walmacott, jun. By some means or other her father-in-law ascertained the fact of their marriage, when ,notwithstanding she way in . that state which would - shortly give him a claim to the title of grandfather, he turned her out of doors, forbade her dear little husband to see her, and the latter not contri buting at all towards her support, she applied to the parish authorities. Mr. RAWLINSON (to the defendant) —How is this, Master Walmacott? You must support your wife, you The defendant (in a squeaking voice)—Yes, I told liar I would give her as much as I could afford. Complainant—Arrall, my jewel, don't say that much, or ra be very loth to bring you here.—( Laughter.) Mr. Reid said the defendant's wife had been six weeks in the workhouse, for which and the expences he was indebted to the parish 1/. 12s. 6d. Thii sum was ultimately paid by Mr. senior, who was answerable for a weekly sum being allowed.to the com plainant. UNION-HALL. Yesterday a further investigation relative to an alleged charge of administering poison to two persons made a few days ago at this office, was entered into, the name of the accused being Mrs. Ann Purday, and that of her accuser Mrs. Mary Mahon, of the Albany Road, Camberwell. The complainant, by her own admission, lived under the protection of the accused's husband, and within the last few days the former being taken ill, and suspecting that something of a deleterious nature was conveyed into the food of which she had partaken, questioned a girl named Hyde, who lived in her service, on the subject. The girl on that occasion confessed that she had mixed poison with the various articles of food which she had purchased for her master and mistress, and said that she had done so by the express directions of the accused. The girl then described the different kinds of poisonotis substances which Mrs. Purday had given her,. and said that the latter was in the habit of meeting her in the immediate vicinity of the house' for the purpose. The complainant added that on this dis covery she had advice, and had taken measures to coun teract the effects of the poison. She also said that, be lieving the truth of the girl's statement, she had Mrs. Pur day taken into custody. The girl Hyde persisted in the accuracy of all she bad told her mistress with respect to having mixed poison in the food by the desire of Mrs. Purday. - The accused said that there was not one word of truth in the statement made against her ; that it was a vile con spiracy to destroy her ; and that she had no doubt Mrs. Mahon, who lived in adultery with her husband, had trumped up the charge in order to get her out of the way altogether. Mr. TnAlLr. believed the whole story about the poison was concocted with a view of injuring the accused. That the girl Hyde had told a whole string of falsehoods from beginning to end there was very little doubt, and there were strong grounds for believing that Mrs. Mahon and she had conspired together and made up the false accusa tion. The Magistrate then said that Mrs. Purday was exonerated from the charge, and that she left the office without a stain upon her character. She was advised to bring an action against the parties for the false accusation they had made against her. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. MIDDLESEX. Mr. COVENTRY and Mr. TAMLYN held their Court yes day at Hammersmith. Mr. COVENTRY took the adjourned cases from Ham mersmith parish, and also the list of Chiswick parish. (Before Mr. COVENTRY.) Mr. F. C. Dodsworth was successfully objected to by the Reformers. This case excited some interest, in conse quence of an indictment having been preferred, and a true bill found against Mr. Dodsworth for a misdemeanour, he having changed his residence previous to the late election, and yet having voted in respect of his original qualifica tion, that of a 501. occupier. Mr. Dodsworth voted at the late election for Wood and Pownall, although having been registered as an occupier, he had quitted the premises for which he had been registered (as is alleged). A true bill has been found against him for a misdemeanour, at the in stance of Mr. Minton, a public-spirited elector of Chis wick, which has been removed by certiorari into the Queen's Bench, and now remains for trial. In the Hammersmith list the right of Mr. Jones, who had on a former day been objected to, on the ground that the property for which he claimed was his mother's, but who, having appeared at Brentford, and stated that his mother died in giving him birth, had been placed on the list, was again questioned. It was explained that his father having married two sisters, the alleged mother of Mr. Jones was in truth his step-mother, or his aunt, and that the attempted explanation of Mr. Jones was merely a fencing with the truth, but Mr. Coventry did not consider himself justified in reopening the case, and the name was retained. The result of the revision of the Hammersmith and Chiswick lists, in both which Mr. Coppock appeared, was as follotvs _ _ _ HAMMERSMITH.—Overseers ' objections, 17 ; sustained, 16.

The Uxbridge list was also re-opened, for the purpose of giving judgment in the case of George Stillwell, who claimed as trustee in receipt of the rents and Profits arising from what are commonly called the Public Buildings in the town of Uxbridge. Mr. TA mlNN'observed that there the trustees, of whom Mr. Stillwell was one. The properly was described as worth 2001. yearly, but the rents did not amount to any thing like that sum. The property was also niorgaged to the extent of 1001. a-year. ,Mr. Stillwell was in the en tire receipt of the rents, and had been so from the begin ning. He had an half 80th share, which, being a 40th of the whole, qualified him as a voter. The name was retained. WEST KENT. CITY OF ROCHESTER, WEDNESEAY.—Yesterday the ...." , 2wising Barristers, Messrs. Richmond and Bullock, re- Semen their sitting in the Town-hall. (Before M;-, BULLOCK.) Mr. Charles rLemson, a MagLitrate, who has also gone through the office oi- .Mayor, claimts,4 l a right of vote in respect of being a' freeman. lie was objected to by the Conservatives. Mr. BULLOCK said •the cla imant having been the Mayor , and being a Magistrate, bad nothing to do with the ques tion, inasmuch as he might be a Magistrate and not a re sident, or be might be a resident without being a Magistrate. The only question they had to deal with was, whether the claimant had quitted the city for a sufficient length of time as to deprive him of his vote. It had been proved that he was here in May last, that he was again here at the elec tion, and _subsequently, that a portion of his family had been see n to enter the p remises since then.
