This Institution was originally established under a different title in the year .839, on the plan of admitting the a.. - sured to participate in four-fifths only of the profits ; but the Society has since been re mode led so as to become a strictly " Mutual Association." The whole of the funds and property belong to, and are accumu lated for the exclu:. lye benefit of the assured. The profits are divided annuall, among the policy-holders, and applied in reduction of the current year's premium ; thus constitut 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 11 quidated out of the profits. Two Tables of Rates have been computed; one entitling the as F ure d to participate in the profits after payment of five annual pre miums ; the other considerably lower, in which the period of parti: cipation is deferred two years longer : the premium ultimately pay able by the assured is, however, precisely the same, whichever Table of Rates may in the first instance he selected. General meetings of the members are held annurilly, 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 numuer of payments on their respective policies.

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 tentage on the receipts.

The investment of money wit's this Association, which was established in May, 1844. on a plan peculiar to itself, secures equal advantages to the surplus capital of the atllaent, 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 Lite 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. FROM TERRACE PIER, GRAVESEND.

Mr. Backhuysen Bu ff, a painter of sea-subjects, and an impudent off-hand parsonage, e nters an apartment which, according t o the infor mation of the windows, is "to let," w ith the inten tion of taking it, but finds that the present occupant will not quit it for six weeks. At the same time he discovers that the same occupant is a lady with whom he became enamoured in the course of a journey. Oa the strength of this acquaintance he ventures to make love, but is repulsed, not altogether with aversion. What is he to do under these circum stances ? He consults the lady's abigail, a sort of amphibious being, who wears a nautical jacket and hat to symbolize her mistress's predilection for aquatics, and is advised to win the coy heart by a peculiarly rapid mode of courtship. The visits which it would ordinarily take six weeks to pay he is to pay in as many hours, and he is to pour in tributes of bouquets and other presents with equal velocity. The plan succeeds, the lady's father was an admiral, and she feels bound to love a sea-painter, especially when he possesses such an irresistible stock of impudence. This piece is slightness itself, and mainly depends on the acting of Mr. Charles Mathews, who revels in the eccentricities of the facetious painter, and of Miss Julia St. George, who repels and yields with equal vivacity, but still the author is entitled to his meed of praise for the in cessant smartness of the dialogue. Mr. Charles Mathews played the cool and impertinent marine artist with his stereotyped sangfroid, liveliness, and hustle. The piece is of French origin, but it is evident that a great deal of English fun has been infused into the writing. ORGAN AND SACRED VOCAL _MUSIC On Wednesday last a series of well-selected sacred music was given at Christ Church, Spitalfields, for the purpose of collecting funds to liquidate the expense lately incurred by the vast increase in the number of stops and pipes added to the splendid organ of the sacred edi fice. The vocalists on the occasion were Mr. Thorpe Peed, Miss Laura Baxter, and Miss Helen Taylor. The programme exhibited great taste in the selection, the compositions being from Handel, Haydn, Spohr, Beetho ven, Bach, Mendelssohn, and S. G. Noble. The vocal department was commenced by Mr. Peed with the splen did recitative of " Deeper and deeper still," followed with the air " Waft her, Angels." We congratulate Mr. Peed for the manner with which he gave this truly difficult and beautiful composition; his fine and pure tenor voic eproduced great and perfect effect. This gentleman was followed by Miss Helen Tay lor with the beautiful air " With verdure clad," which we are bound to say this young lady did perfect justice to ; the roundness of the tone, together with a freshness of intonation creating a charm seldom to be met with. " 0 rest in the Lord," was sung by Miss Laura Baxter, in an exceeding good style; the fine tones of her voice gave a richness and effect greatly to be admired. We cannot close our notice of the vocalists without a concluding remark on the beauty and sweetness with which Miss Helen Taylor gave the air " Let the bright Seraphim," which must place this young lady in the first rank of ooncert singers. The position occupied by the vocalists must have been truly distressing, in consequence of the great height of the organ gallery, thereby subject. ing them to all the inconvenience of the heat of the gas, and densely crowded part of the church, which in the latter part must have been highly miserable. The whole of the vocalists were educated at the Royal Academy of Music, and received their vocal tuition from Signor Crivelli, of which they gave good proof of their having profitted by the instruction of this highly-gifted master. Of Mr. Noble, the organist, we cannot speak in too high terms of his admirable performance. The Rev. Mr. Stone and the committee of management are entitled to much praise for the manner in which all the arrange ments were completed. WESTMINSTER Immtov. v ra —Yesterday even ing, for the first time, the new Victoria-street, Westminster, 'was lighted with gas by two rows of lamps, one each "de Of the street—so that as a thoroughfare it is perfectlyo aide of safe and respectable for the most timid pedestrians. The new station of the fire-escape recently placed in Westminster has been removed to the end of the above-street at its confluence with Dean-street, Tothill-street, Princes-street, and the Broad Sanctuary—and as the conductor has a coloured lamp burning during darkness, attached to the ladder of the machine, it can be easily seen from Storey's Gate, at the end of Great George-street. The escape is one belonging to the Royal Society for tof Lif from Fire, and not a parochial or local t one, as some of the e inhabitants have un derstood. THE HOUSE or CommoNs.7-There was issued on Saturday last a Parliamentary paper containing the report of Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney on the ventilation of the new House of Commons. The report is dated the 19th inst., and suggestions are made for cooling the Committee-rooms in summer time. Mr. Gurney states that the evils may be re moved without much expense. Z OO LOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. —At the mon thly general meeting, held • yesterday at the society's house in Hanover-square, the report of the council stated that the number of visitors to the gardens on Whit-Mond fay an d an d Tuesday amou nted to nearl y 20,000, greatly exeeed the corresponding days in 1851 or any previous year. The improvements in the gardens are rapidly approaching a state of completeness, and the births, donations, and purchases in the menagerie have raised the extent of the collection to a higher numerical standard than has ever been attained before. The most important births noticed in the report are iraffe and a Leucoryx anteloe. The latter is the first a ingstance of this beautiful animalp having been produced in Europe. GOOD NEWS FOR THE LADlES.—'tester ay morn. ing the Emigration Commissioners issued a notice at the office in Park-street, that in consequence of the preponde rating number of male over female inhabitants in Australia, no more single men could be taken as emigrants unless they formed a member of such families proceeding t o Australia as came within the regulations of the emigration An intention has also been expressed of dispatching rules. eight vessels a month from the various ports in the United kingdom for the ensuing six months.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The Ascot meeting, as usual, is replete with stakes of all sorts and values, and the list very strong. Should we have fine weather, a first-rate attendance may bo oxpeciep, not only of bipeds but quadrupeds also; as the late rains havairendarsl9-ake rtouraft a great service, case at this meeting—ground of iron hardness not being a ver y pl e asant thing f or h orses of dubious legs. making it the very opposit e of what is generally !,be The meeting commences , a s i s ordinarily the case at most meetings, with the Trial Stakes—a new mile spin for horses of all ages. This stake has yet to close and name. _ _ - Out of the forty-seven n ominations to the Second Tri ennial Stakes, not more, I anticipate, than six or seven will appear at the post; they probably are the fol lowing:—Misserrima, Midas, Hesse Homburg, Cnmus, Catalpa, Constellation, and perhaps A ns p ac h. In the first two years of this stak e Mi sserrima accomplished a victory on each occasion easily ; in 1850 beating Mr. Merryman second, CL. mils third, and ten others; last year she had Comas second to her, with the Nun third; Midas, Anspach, and Constellation not being able to live the pace, were beaten off early. If this miserably -named daughter of Pantaloon and Phryne is in her old form, which she is said to be, I can discover nothing that stands a chance of boating her, notwithstanding that the 154 yards in leugth. Midas, I expect, will run very course on this occasion is well; as will Mr. Gratwicke s '- nomination. Catalpa, of course, will be nowhere; and I rather fancy Constellation will not shine very brightly, The distance suiting One mile seven furlongs and Cnseas he may finish forward; but hi s running lately has been so execrable th at I cannot imagine he pos sesses any chance of bei ng the winner.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have recei v ed th e Paris papers of yesterday. The Constitutionnel resumes its arguments in favour of the Protection principle in trade, and repeats the expression o f its regret at the Gover n ment having proposed modifications in the Customs tariff. The other day the Constitutionnel condemned the proposi tion to admit duty free the raw material used in ship building, and attempted to show that the benefits to be derived by the shipping interest would not counterbalance th e i n j ury to be inflicted on certain branches of industry in France. Now the Constitutionnel complains of the propo sition to reduce the duty on thread from refuse silk from twenty-eight to forty per cent. The value of the quantity o f thi s art i cle in its raw. state annually used in France, it says, is only one million and a half of francs, and when spun it is worth ten millions—consequently eight millions and a half are paid for labour. To reduce the duty on the manu factured article imported into France from 82 to 40 per cent. would have the effect, therefore, contends the Constitutionnel, to deprive French labour of its rights. Without going into details, it may be observed that the arguments in favour of protection, if adopted to the full -extent demanded by its advocates, would prevent all amelioration in the condition of the consumers, who form the great majority, to the exclusive benefit of the producers, and would also keep the produce of manfactures stationary, for it is only by competition that men are induced to improve. Hitherto, in France, the Governments have found too much op position in the Parliaments to be able_ to realise any important measure for the relief of the great mass of consumers. It remains to be seen whether the same resistance to progress still exists. We read in the same journal— " Some journals announce that • a Bill has been sub mitted to the Council of State, having for object to im pose a duty on dogs. It is a tax which would be seen with pleasure all over France, particularly if it could en able us to get rid of those parasite dogs which every day cause such terrible accidents. It is in vain that placards are posted up to force the owners of doge to keep them muzzled or tied up ; a man cannot go out of Paris with out being assailed by hungry dogs issuing as they please from the court yards or lanes. In the public gardens the promenaders hold their dogs by the string whilst passing before the sentry, but as soon as they have entered, they let them loose. We can comprehend that the persons appointed to superintend the matter should give way at last, tired out by the struggle of every mo ment; but perhaps they would triumph if a tax came to their aid, by diminishing to a certain extent the canine race." The three members Of the Legislative body who voted against the Bill for opening a supplementary credit of 360,0001. for the improvement of the So logne were, Count DE CHADRILLAN, M. DE PARIEU, and M. TAILLEFEE. The Moniteur recently announced the promotion of M. PROUDHON, judge of the Civil Tribunal of Besancon, to be a judge of the Court of Appeal of that city. " This gentleman," says the Independence of Brussels, " is the father of the celebrated Socialist writer. In 1845 the latter was corrector of the press in a printing office, and his acquirements in theology attracted the attention of the Archbishop of the city. The prelate noticed favourably his articles in the Encyclopirdie Catholique. It was at Besancon that he wrote his famous treatise on Propriete, and his book on the Observation du Dimanche. The Moniteur contains a decree of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic, officially promulgating the convention between France and Bavaria, con cluded on the 4th February, 1848, for the formation and working of a railway from Strasburg to Spire. In 1803 General MOREAU had a monument erected in the neighbourhood of Bale in memory of General CHARLES ABATTUCCI,WhO was killed before Huningen in 1796, at the age of 26. This mausoleum was re built in 1832 by subscription. It is now again com pletely out of repair, and is to be again restored. The Minister of the Interior has, it is said, given orders to DUBRAY, the statuary, for a bust of General ABATTUCCI, to be placed in the Gallery of Versailles. The French Academy has adjudged its annual prize for eloquence—the subject being a eulogium On BERNARDIN DE ST. PIERRE—to M. PREVOST.. PARADOL, pupil of the Superior Normal School. We read in the Corsaire—" The Constitutionnel relates some strange accounts of the effects of the lightning during one of the late storms. It says that the electric fluid took up a pail of water and carried it across a room without spilling a drop of it, and then lifted a pile of plates surmounted by a salad bowl from a table and placed them on a chair without breaking or deranging any of them. Doubtless this performance does the lightning great credit, and we thank the Constitutionnel for pointing it out. But we know of one which was more remarkable and meritorious, for it was an act of gallantry towards the oyster women. In April, 1846, the lightning entered a restaurant in the Rue Montorgueil, shut two doors, and opened three dozen of oysters." M. CARTIGNY, formerly one of the actors at the Theatre Francais, died on Tuesday at Paris, aged 69, after a very long illness. M. CARTIGNY was for some years one of the most favourite performers at the French Theatre in London. There was a considerable amount of business trans acted at the Bourse in Railway Shares, without much variation in prices.

The Minister of France at Cassel has demanded that a marble statue of NAPOLEON, by CANOVA, which, when the kingdom of Westphalia existed, was p ve l n aced iu the principal square of the city, shall be gi up to the Marshal Prince JEROME. It is said to be des tined by the Prince for the town of Rheims. The Diet of Nassau was closed on the 28th ult. by the Duke.

SWITZERLAND. We read the following in the Journal des Dibats : We have reproduced two articles from Berlin journals, dated the 28th and 29th ult., on the subject of the signature of a convention relative to Switzer land. We have since learned that, if not on the 17th May, at least towards that period, the plenipotentia ries of the five great powers assembled at :the Fo reign-office, to come to an understanding on the sub ject of a demand of the lung of PRUSSIA relative to Neufchatel ; but it is certain that nothing definite was settled in that conference, and that an ulterior deci sion was adjourned to a more opportune moment. There was therefore no' question of modifying the enactments of the cantonal constitutions,' aid still less of coming to an understanding on the einploY" went of coercive measures.' " ITALY.

A letter from Leghorn states that the Grand Duke of TUSCANY has fully approved of the plans submitted to him by M. POIREL, a French engineer of the pents-et-chauss.ees, for the enlargement of the port of that place. M. VICTOR LANJUINAIS, late member of the National Assembly of France, arrived at Rome on the 25th ult. Father AURELIO 11.1ern, the new Patriarch of Venice, made his solemn-entry-in--that city on the 27th ult. Oa the 15d3 ult. a magnificent theatre, called th 3 Teatro Alighieri, was opened at Ravenna.. Edward MURRAY was allowed to travel to Ancona in a carriage, the expen , e of which was shared by another political prisoner, Colonel CAVANNA, of the gendarmerie, who is now experiencing vengeance ior having displayed too much z?al in the service of then Republican Government. The colonel was hand cuffed during the journey, but RIURRAY'S hands were left free, and he was treated with tolerable mildness by the escort of gendarmes. It is thought that the order for his execution bad not been sent to Ancona, at least up to the 25th ult. The following interesting particulars, relative to this unfortunate affair are given by the Roman cor respondent of the Daily News, and we entertain strong hopes that the well-known benevolence of the Roman PONTIFF'S disposition will prevent a consummation which would greatly taasperate the public mind in England : "Mrs. MURRAY and Ile r daughter-in-law are moving heaven and earth meanwhile to prevent the extretne penalty falling upon one so dea r to theta,and wh ose i nnocence th e y So filly r believe and perseveringly maintain.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BOTHER RITHE. This morning, between two and three o'clock, a fire of a very alarming and destructive character, and which was nearly attended with fatal c, nsequences, broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. Nichol, a haberdasher and stationer, at No. 8, Neptune-street, Rotherhithe. At the time of the outbreak some persons were in the house attending to a dying man, and so strong a hold bad the fire obtained of the lower part of the building, that as they were carrying the man down the flumes laid hold of the staircase and nearly prostrated them. The flames by that period had penetrated every room in the building, and strong fears were entertained for the safety of the houses on either side. With all possible expedition the London Brigade and West of England engines attended. The firemen had their engines imme diately set to work, and copious streams of water having been thrown upon the conflagration it was eventually extinguished, but not until the premises in which it commenced were totally destroyed, the contents con sumed, and the adjoining premises damaged. The origin of the misfortune could not be ascertained. The pre mises are understood to be insured in the Phcenix Fire office, and the contents in the star Fire-effiee. Mr. Nichol, besides the loss of his stock in trade, &c., has lost 601. iu gold, fallen amongst the ruins. FATAL BALLOON ASCENT.—On Wednesday even ing last Mr, - James Goulston, of the Cremorne-gardens, made a balloon ascent from the Bellevue-gardens, Manches ter. He had assumed the name of Signor Giuseppe Lunardini for the occasion, and an immense crowd assembled to see the ascent. The balloon was a new one, manufactured by him self, at his oilcloth establishment in tho Old Kent-road. The machine was 40 feet high, and 33 feet in diameter, holding 23,000 cubic feet of gas, and was ready for the ascent at seven o'clock in the evening. It was raining at the time, and the balloon was lost to view in about two minutes, having gone into a dense black cloud. A strong wind was blowing from the south-west, and the aerial voyager took a direction towards Saddleworth, in Yorkshire. Yesterday morning it was ascertained at Manchester that Mr. Goul ston had been killed in a stone quarry, near Saddleworth. He is said to have been killed at about a quarter past eight o'clock, but further particulars are not known. This was his 51st ascent. His son had been engaged to make the ascent, but, being unable to leave Cremorne-gardens, his father came to supply his place. BALLOON ASCENT FROM FRANKFORT.—MY. Green, jun., made a balloon ascent from Frankfort on the 2Sth ult. After rising a considerable height, and remaining some time over the town, he saw a storm approaching, and resolved to descend in a field. When the cords which he threw out reached the earth, a number of peasants seized them, and pulled at them violently. They then seized the hoops and lower part of the balloon. This rendered it impossible for ,freight Mr. Green to open the valves, and the consequenc e e r w nba a r s k tha a t et since uite s No. the balloon burst with a loud explosion. The peasants im mediately tore the balloon to pieces, and divided the pieces e ls March,i:oyw among themselves. Five of the peasants were arrested, but Mr. Green demands an indemnity of 7,000 florins (about 17,000 f.) preceded ceded ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, Ju NE e .
