The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, - the Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis • puting a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of. Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form I. deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted. whereby the security St a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a Specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERs HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. Oa the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from . outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge Made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life .

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Royal standard flags were hoisted at Portsmouth garrison flag-staffs, yesterday, in hon•,iur of the anni versary of the birth of his Royal Hig hneis the Prince of Wales. and has consequently given'esh hope to many who were previously sceptical aso the continued safety of Captain Sir John Franklin tl the officers and crews of the Erebus. and Terror, ictic discovery ships. It has generally been noticed r the captains of whalers that a cycle of •three years 'into great changes in the position of icebergs and the oes of the Polar regions; and as that period will elee next season, there it every reason to hope, if th(Esquitnaux. statement is correct, that the intrepid nvigators will be liberated from the ice, and return to nig country, after a period of great suspense to their Mends and the public at home. . Accounts have been receved from the whale ship Frolic, Captain George A. linsburgh, off Ternate, in May last. The captain sys .—" I have been very successful with Mr. Grener's harpoon and gun, having struck and seourec seven whales with it that would never have been alo gside had I not been pro vided with it.

Yesterday morning, according to the special re quest of Frederick George Manning, Mr. Binns, his solicitor, waited upon him in the condemned cell in Horsemonger-lane Gaol. The interview took place in the presence of Mr. Rowe, the chaplain ; Mr. Keene, the governor ; and two turnkeys. Manning was in much better spirits yesterday, and as soon as Mr. Binns entered his cell he shook hands with him cordially, and thanked him for his kindness. He told him he was quite prepared to meet his unhappy fate, and could die happy if his wife would only tell the truth. He informed Mr. Binns that he took with him some railway shares to Jersey, which he de stroyed in a water-closet before his apprehension, a description of which he handed him for the benefit of Mr. O'Connor's family. They will, no doubt, be re stored by the companies who issued them. This will clearly show that the murdered man was possessed of considerable property in railway shares, which were useless to any one except the real owner. On being asked where the crowbar was, he stated that it could be found at a certain railway station (naming the place). He directed Mr. Binns to dispose of all his property, and after paying all demands for legal expenses, to hand over the surplus to his brother Ed mund. Prior to Mr. Binn's leaving him yesterday, he handed him the following letters, giving him per mission to publish them if he pleased : MANNING TO HIS WIFE. " I address you as a fellow- sinner and a fellow sufferer, and not as my wife, since the contract must be considered as cancelled, extending as it does only until death and not beyond it, and both of us standing as we do, on the brink of eternity. We may already consider ourselves as cut off from the world. The consciousness of this truth does not, however, prevent me from expressing my earnest solicitude for the happiness of your soul as well as my own. I do, therefore, beseech and implore of you to be truthful in all you utter, and that you may not be tempted to yield to any evil suggestions of the enemy of our souls' welfare to question for an instant the solemn truth that we shall shortly appear before our God in judgment—that His eye is upon us now. The time, though not, so far as I can learn, precisely fixed, when we are to be launched into eternity, but we may be quite sure and certain that it is close at hand. And now, by all kindly feelings we have at any time en tertained towards each other, I earnestly pray that you will lock to God for the pardon you need, and of which I feel my own need also, believe me, through the merits of a crucified Redeemer, being satisfied that His all sufficient atonement and intercession cannot benefit us unless we repent and give proofs of that re pentance. Believe me, I upbraid you not, but trust you will be assured that I forgive every one, as I pray and hope to be forgiven by God ; and now I close, as my feelings are too acute to write more. May the Lord be merciful, and mty He be so consistent with Ilis promises. Let us be truthful and sincere in all we say and do. This is the last letter you will ever receive from me. Now let me beg of you to grant me an interview this day if possible. I have a great wish to have one before I depart this world. "F. G. MANNING. condemned Written on Hors l the2 e 9mthongerin of October, Gaol. ber,1849, in the " FREDERICK G. MANNING." MARIA. MANNING TO HER HUSBAND . " I address you as my husband. I am far away from my happy native land on account of this contract and this land which you have made to me a captivity. The peace and well-being of society, the laws of truth, which you have broken, have alike demanded my banishment from the country which gave me birth. But I am not going away from God; He is every where alike present, and at all times gracious to those that seek His mercy and His favour. What has brought me into this eternal consequence ? If you live and die unforgiven by God, though those sins will be. punished by the laws of man, they are still all registered by the only God. All that I have to say is this—l never made any statement of any kind to injure or condemn you in this matter, that you well know, from first to last. lam here condemned only by your statement. If it had proved beneficial to you, I should have been sati-fled. With all your doings and the great expense of your learned counsel lors, that did not benefit you, but plunged me unmer cifully with you to this horrid fate. All I have to beg of you now is to state facts, as you know that I was not in the house when O'Connor met with his death ; but I was gone to see for him, and during that time he called in my absence, and was shot by that young man from Guernsey who was with you in the back parlour smoking; but that I did not know anything about it until the Saturday, and that it was all settled in the kitchen. I was in hopes you would have brought that young man forward on the trial, but that you did not do, but only blame me, as you did from the first day. But, my dear, as you now know that you cannot save yourself, I implore of you to state the facts which are truth, and endeavour to save your wife. By so doing it would be satis faction to your own heart and soul to know that you are doing right and good towards me before you depart from this world. The Lord God will forgive you and comfort you. Believe me, I upbraid you not, but you will be assured that I forgive you, and every one, as I pray and hope I may be forgiven by God. If you comply with this truly statement, I shall be happy to see you until the last day. My hope and life is in your hands. You can, if you will, save me. Remember you cannot answer for our sins or transgressions when all our secret sins shall beset in the light of His countenance, and when the wicked who carelessly lived and miser ably died without the fear or favour of God shall doubtless perish everlastingly. In that day a craven conscience shall proclaim a failing heart, and an angry judge shall point to the wicked. " I humbly look to thee, 0 Lord. Thou hast se t forth as a propitiation for the remission of sins that are past through Thy forbearance. I cannot write any longer. God bless you, and have mercy on us both. " M. MANNING." " Received by F. G. Manning on the 30th of October, 1849." . _ The iollowing statement we have received is in substance the confessions made by Manning at the interviews which he has had with his relatives since sentence of death was pronounced upon him :—He declared most solemnly that a month before the ac tual commission of the crime his wife spoke to him of her intention to murder O'Connor, in order that she might become possessed of the large amount of money which she knew he had. He endeavoured to turn her thoughti away from the commission of such a deed, saying she would be hung for it. She, ho we ver, said that she was determined to shoot him, and that he m us t h e l p her to bury him in the kitchen. About this period she purchased a dozen bottles of brandy, and though at other times and in the circumstances they were then living she would have been chary of making such a purchase, she kept him fully supplied with the liquor, so that, to use his own words, " during the whole of this time I was not in my right senses." He first thought of giving information of hi s w if e ' s in tention to the police, but fear for his wife, who he said had great mastery over him, or a belief that she would not carry out her intentions, restrained him from saying anything about the matter ; but he declares he repeatedly told her that he would have nothing to do with it. Nearly about this period O'Connor was in vited to stay a Biwa time with born friouas at Bou 19gne, and she was to meet him there. She said if the opportunity did not . present itself of doing away with him in Minver-place, that she would do so when they were together at Boulogne, adding that it would never be found out. With the view of accomplishing her purpose, she purchased a small pair of pistols at the shop:of Mr. Blanch, a gunmaker, in Gracechurch street, who, at her re quest, instructed her how to load them. In order to be the better prepared for the disposal of the body, and to destroy any traces of guilt, she directed him to purchase the crowbar to raise the stones in the back kitchen, and the lime to burn the body. Manning declares also that the hole in which the body was found was dug by Mrs. Manning with the dust shovel produced at the trial, a fortnight before the :murder, and that she carried the earth out by pailfuls, and mixed it with the ashes in the dust-bin. It was in June, he says, that the conversation took place with respect to what would make a person put his name to a cheque for 500/. O'Connor at the tame was supposed to be a teetotaller, and Massey, Manning says, suggested that morphia (which he described as a white powder), if put into his tea, Would so stupify him as to render him a ready instrument in their hands. It was, however, never given to him. It may be remarked that Manning was then in needy circumstances. Manning's attentiou was called to the state of O'Con nor on the night when Mrs. Manning bathed his temples with eau de Cologne, in order to ascertain if he had been drugged ; but he declared that nothing was given to him, and that he was under the in fluence of brandy, which be had taken from fear of the cholera. On the night of the murder he says O'Connor islets Rtk...DttaXgraLfift„ginci Af.ter.M.Shang.id'ciALfea7 hour he came back, his demeanour evincing irresolu tion whether to stop or not, thus accounting for his being seen on London. bridge about five o'clock going towards the city. He must, therefore, immediately have changed his mind and gone to Minver- place. Mrs. Manning pressed him to stay, and he walked into the parlour and sat down. Immediately afterwards she said to him, " Come down stairs, and wash your hands before dinner ;" to which O'Connor replied, " No, I don't care about it to night." "Oh," she said, "you had better do so, as Miss Massey (who Manning says she knew was not in town at the time) is comirg, and you know she is a very particular lady, and you should show yourself off to the best advantage." He says this was a mere trick to get him down stairs. He further says he did not think so at the time, as be had no idea that in the evening she was about to perpetrate the crime of murder. He asseverates this most solemnly. O'Connor did go down stairs to the back kitchen, Mrs. Manning following closely after him. At this time Manning was up-stairs ' in the front room, dressing. In a few minutes his wife came up-stairs and exclaimed, " I have done it—he is dead enough." Manning says he was dreadfully frightened, and told her "she was a dead woman, and would be hung for the murder." She got into a passion with him, and said he was " a d—d coward ;" and pointing a pistol at him, which he says was loaded, exclaimed in a threatening manner, " If you don't come down and see him, I will serve you the same." He /3.3ked her how she did it, and what O'Connor said ? and, after drinking a glass of neat brandy, she ex plained that when her victim got to the bottom of the stairs he said, " What ! hav nt you got this drain finished yet ?" The next moment she said she pressed the muzzle of the pistol close to the back of his head and shot him dead. We may remark that this will account in some measure for the report of the pistol not being heard by Manning himself, nor by the neighbours. After some hesitation, and overpowered by her menaces, he did go down, and he says he was horrified to find O'Connor lying on his face, partially in a stooping posture, his head hanging into the grave which had been prepared for him, and his hands up to the sides of his head. Manning, when explaining this to his brother and sister, to the governor of the prison, and the chaplain, went down on his kness in the cell, in order the better to illustrate the position of the unhappy man. This was ten minutes or a quarter of an hour after the commission of the mur der. Mrs. Manning turned over the body, and struck him on the head three or four times with the crowbar, exclaiming, " You d—d old villain, you ill never deceive me or any one else any more." Manning then says he ran up stairs ; he was follow( d shortly afterwards by his wife, who showed him the keys she had taken from the body. She then took off her gown—the one produced at the trial, and prove] to have been rtained with blood, and washed herself, her hands being smeared with blood. She then went out, saying that she would be back directly. Not liking to remain in the house he went into the yard, and sat on the wall and smoked a pipe, and had a chat with the neighbours. lie had told her that he would not stay in the house, but she persuaded him to do so. When she came back, having been at O'Connor's lodgings, she had some scrip, some of which she burnt, fluting it useless; the rest she kept. Manning's brother asked him at one of the interviews what had been done with the clothes and the crowbar ; and he sail that the clothes were burnt, and that she must have taken the crowbar with her, and, he supposed, dropped it at one of the railway stations. The next day she pledged two gold watches belonging to O'Connor, but he could not tell where. On the Monday after the murder, when he came home, she told him that two persons, whom she believed to be officers in private clothes, had called and inquired for O'Connor. These persons, it will be recollected, were Mr. Welch and Mr. Flynn, who stated, in their evidence, that she trembled and looked so pale that they asked her if she was ill. Manning told his wif e , who was extremely frightened at these inquiries, that she had evidently been found out, and that she would be hung. She then fainted, but Manning gave her some brandy, which soon restored her. Afterwards she said she would not stop any longer, that she would go to America, and that if she were discovered she would stick out till the eleventh hour. After some delay she said, " Now Freddy, you go to Bainbridge's, and endeavour to sell the furniture. See what arrangements you can make. Don't be in a hurry, but stop and smoke your pipe. I'll be there in a couple of hours." He did so, but as she did not come he went to the house and found her gone. Being almost penniless, he pawned the pistols at a pawnbroker's in Bermondsey-street and afterwards sold the furniture and went away to Jersey. She got all the money from him which he obtained at the Bank. He declared he knew nothing about the Great Western Railway robberies, but im plicated Poole and others. He said, Mrs. Manning, who no doubt was in Poole's confidence, knew some thing about them. Al the conclusion of his last interview with his brother and sister, he said when they were leaving, " Mr. Keene, I have to ask you one great favour— that you will not, for the sake of my family, allow any one to take a cast of my head, to be exhibited at Madame Tussaud's." Mr. Keene assured the unfortunate prisoner, and also his brother and sister, that if he could prevent this being done he would do so. Manning reiterated the assertion that, so help him God, he had never injured a hair of O'Connor's head, adding that the statement as given above, was true in every respect; and if he were to be executed the life of an innocent man would be taken. All the persons present, at the request of Manning, knelt down and engaged in prayer. Loss or Two LIVES BY FIEE.—On Friday morn ing the following melancholy accidents occurred on the Surrey side of the water, whereby the lives of two fine children were sacrificed. In the first case it appears that the deceased, Mary Ann Bentley, aged eight years, who resided with her parents in Upper Queen•street, Southampton-street, Camberwell, was left in a room by herself ironing, and during the absence of her mother she set her clothes on fire. The flames spread with great rapidity, and her screams soon roused the other inmates of the house, who hastened to her assistance. The poor girl had then reached the lower part of the premises, where the foot passengers and several of the lodgers succeedel in extinguishing the flames, but not before the whole of her dress was burned to a cinder, and her body, from head to foot, literally roasted. The unfortunate sufferer was seen by a surgeon, but subse quently was convoyed with all speed to Guy's Hospital, where the resident surgeon immediately applied the beat remedies, but so complicated were the injuries that she expired soon after her admission.—The second accident happened to a child named Ellen Crawley, aged two year-, of White's•court, Bermondsey-street, Southwark. From what could be gleaned, it seems that the deceased was left in an upstairs room in front of a large fire, while the mother was at a neighbouring public-house, and whilst she was gone the unfortunate infant rolled or crawled under the grate, where its garments became ignited, and before the deceased was discovered she was nearly burnt to a blackened mass. The child was wrapped in a blanket and taken to St. Thomas's Hos pital, but survived only a short time afterwards. In formation of the two deaths have been forwarded to Mr. W. Payne, the Coroner for the city of London d an_ Southwark. STETNING.—C. Goring, Esq., M.P., regaled the whole of his labourers and cottagers, with their wives and families, on Monday last, at his seat, Wiston Park, in commemoration of his wedding. About 465 sat down to the substantial fare of roast beef and plum pudding. Numerous sports in the park filled up the afternoon with mirth; and at night a huge bonfire was lighted on a promontory of the Downs, near Chanktoubury Ring. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY.

COWES, Nov. 9.—ESCAPE OF PRISONBR.S.—The number of juvenile thieves who are constantly effecting their escape from the Reformatory, at Park hurst, is so great (10 within the last week ! !) that the country people are in a state of constant alarm. Four of those that got away on Saturday last were taken on Sunday evening at Freshwater, but not till after they had committed several robberies ; the other two were taken near Cowes. Three more ran away last night. One ran off early last week, but after effecting several robberies he was taken at Wootten -bridge in a female dress. The parties who took the four received a reward of five pounds. The lads assign as a rea son for their breaking prison the shortness of their allowance of food. They are from fifteen to nine. teen years of age, and they say they have only an allowance for boys of twelve years of age. Be it what it may, it is high time that some more of • cient protection was given to the public. It is sail twenty-five of these lads made an attempt to escape yesterday, but were prevented by the officers. Those taken have been transferred to Winchester Gaol, and it will be no small expense to the county to prose cute them at the next assizes. EAST COWES CASTLE. —This splendid edifice is reported to be sold. Tl.e purchase money is slid to have been rather more than 10,000/, the timber and fixtures to he taken at a valuati,,n. The lute Lord Shannon gave 20,000/. for the whole and the furniture. NOILTIIWOOD HOU'E —There is no truth in the report that Lord Wil - on had taken this mansion. We believe its costly furniture will go to the ham mer, that not being► the property of the present pos sesslr of the estate, and that the house ani park will then be let. The game is beinv. shot do►cn by hun dreds, as it is not Mr. W. G. Ward's intention that there should be any preserves on his estate. I . )s is a great boon to the farmers, whise crops, from their numbers, they nearly destroyed. INDIAN CLIMBING.—OLIT Indians showed how they climbed trees to get to the branches; they first cut a notch with their axe, not far from the ground, then drove their axe into the trunk as high as they could reach, and hauled themselves up by the handle, till their toe rested in the notch; they then cut other notches, and hauled themselves higher again, till they reached the branches. Some Imes they fell a tree, and let it fall sloping against another which they wish to ascend; they then mount the inclined plane. The young men sometimes practise get ting up a tree with a tomahawk in each hand, struck into the bark alternately behind, which method requ'res great strength and agility.—Sir.l. Alexander's"Acadie." THE PLAGUE OF FLIES.—The air seems to stagnate there, and the closeness is oftentimes terrible to bear, (s -pecially as it is accompanied with, first, the minute black fly, the constant summer torment; the mosquito, with intolerable singing, the prelude of its sharp probe; the sand-fly, with its hot slim;; the horse-fly, which seems to Ink., the bit out of the flesh; and the large moose, ter speckled-winged fly. We were never free from Ili- s of some kind or another, and I have seen the five different kinds just enumerated " doing their worst" at tl e same time on our flesh, and the black pests digging into it and elevating their hinder end, like ducks searching below the surface of a pond.—Sir J. Alexander's "..4eadie." BALLOONING IN SEARCH OF SIR JOIIN FRANKLIN. —W e mentioned a few days since that Lieutenant Gale had made a proposition with reference to the use of a balloon fur traversing the impassable wastes which sepa rate Sir John Franklin from his friends. The following is a letter received by the gallant and enterprising officer from Lady Franklin:— "28, Castle-street, Edinburgh, Nov. 5, 1849. " Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt ofyour letter of the 22d ult., proposing the use of your balloon in the discovery of the missing expedition in the Arctic regions. It will give me great pleasure if your plans, when ex amined, are approved by men of science capable of estimating them, and you cinnot doubt that I should greatly rejoice in the adoption of any means which pro mise to aid the object I have most at heart, and especi ally if they are recommended to me by the disinterested and noble motives you have kindly expres'ed. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " Lieutenant Gale, RN." " JANE FRANKLIN.

From some circumstances which have siace comp to the know ledge of the Secretary of State, Sir George Grey ob tained her Majesty's sanction to the liberation of the prisoner, who was one of the convicts on board of the Warrior convict-ship at Woolwich, having been sen tenced to transportation in July, 1847.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Ointment and Pills, a never-failing Remedy for the Cure of Scurvy and Scorbutic Humours.—Thomas Andrews of Sutton-street, Newcastle, had been severely afflicted for years with scurvy and scorbutic humours all over his body. He had been under the treatment of several medical men, but to no purpose, and at last he was pronounced incurable. The poor fellow then, as a forlorn hope, commenced using Holloway's Pills and Ointment, which so effectually eardicated the disease from his system that in the course of six weeks he was enabled to resume his former employment, and his skin is now as clear as that of an infant.— Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor tiolloway't Establish• went, 244, Strand, London.
