The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale, and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the Insurance is for life. The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence ment of the Company in March 11134, to the 31st December 1840, is as follows: Sum Assured. Time Assured.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.--Connected with the savings'-bank sys tem, the fact is a remarkable one, that although the Savings'-bank Annuity Act was passed in 1833, the number of annuities payable under it on the sth of January last, as appears by the Parliamentary return, was only 1,355, and the amount 22,8911., while the number of individual depositors, exclusive of chari table and friendly societies, was 824,162, and the amount of deposits 22,915,940/. on the 29th of No vember, 1841. Of the 555 savings'-banks in the United Kingdom, only 61 undertake the negotiation of these annuities, viz., 56 in England, 3 in Ireland, and 2in Scotland. The fees payable by each con tractor for purchase of such annuities are limited by the Act to 2s. 6d. admission fee, and ls. annually af terwards. Hence it would seem that the fees are too small to hold out any inducement to the extension of the annuity department of the savings'-banks. Yet the conversion of a portion of the claims of the say ings'-banks' depositors, which are increasing at the rate of about a million annually, into terminable an nuities, is a subject well deserving the attention of the Government. In reference to the high price of bread, the follow ing calculations may be interesting, as showing the position of the London and Paris markets, when in a more natural state than at present : In November, 1841, the price of flour of the finest quality in Paris was 63f. per 159 kilogrammes, which Is equal to 395. 7d. per sack of 2801 b. English. The highest price of flour in London at the same period was 655. the sack ; it therefore follows that flour was 64+ per cent. higher in London than in Paris. In November, 1841, the price of bread of the first 'quality in Paris was 35c. per kilogramme, which is equal to 6d. for the 41b. loaf, English weight. The price charged by the high priced bakers in London at the same time was 10d. per 41b. loaf; it therefore follows that bread was66i per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. From this statement it appears that the bakers in London could at that time manage to make bread at nearly the same scale of charges and profit as in Paris ; nearly the whole of the great difference in price being plainly attributable to the high price of flour here, which was occasioned by the operation of our Corn-laws. Taking another period ;—ln May, 1842, the price of flour of the finest quality in Paris was 58f. per 159 kilogrammes, which is equal to 365. sd. per sack of 280 lb. English. The highest price of flour at the same period in London was 575. the sack; it there fore follows that flour was 56i per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. At the same time, May, 1842, the price of bread of the first quality in Paris was 33c. pox kilogramme, which is equal to sid. for the 41b. loaf English weight. The sum charged at that period by the high priced bakers in London was 90. per 41b. loaf; it therefore follows that bread was 69 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The great difference in the price of bread here and at Paris must, as in the former case, be ascribed to the difference in value of the raw material in the two markets, arising from the effect of our Corn-laws ; but it is also evident that although flour had fallen more in proportion in London than in Paris from November, 1841, to May, 1842, yet that the price of bread had not d ec li ne d V here in so great a ratio, it being in fact proportionably higher here than it was before. In the same manner, on comparing May, 1842, with the present time, although the price of flour here has fallen so much as to be very little dearer than in Paris, yet the price of bread has not lowered in the same proportion. On the whole, it is evident that the assize of bread in Paris causes the consumer to obtain the whole be nefit of a reduction in the price of flour immediately on the occ urrence o f a fall ; whereas here the reduc tion is always tardy, and seldom, if ever, equal to the amount required by the decline in the raw material. THE HERRING FISHERY. FRA.SERBURGII, SEPT. s.—The horrify , fishing at this station was concluded last week : the boats in number were 208, averaging upwards of 200 crans each. BANFF, SEPT. s.—The fishing is now over for this season. The average for this district is less than last year ; Macduff and Whitehills are about 115 crans average ; Gardenston and Portsoy, about 130. There seems to be, however, a greater supply of herrings than there is any demand for ; and the sales making are at I price which must entail a heavy loss on the curers. WICK, SEPT. 2.—The fishing at this port during the latter end of last week was very successful, but has gra dually taken off this week, and is now considered to be nearly terminated. The average for the week is thirty crans per boat, making a total average for the season of about 120 crans each. On the:west coast and in Orkney there has not been half a fishing. Along the Berwick coast to North Sunderland it has also been very short ; and several other places are under an average, viz., from Helmsdale to Clyth inclusive. ABERDEEN, SEPT. 7.—Several of our boats left off fishing some days ago, and the regular season has closed with this morning's fishing. Their success has been great ; and the average per boat has reached as high as 210 crans. . • Aran. s.—Our little quiet town exhibited no small degree of activity and bustle last Saturday ; two events combined to produce this excitement. The sale of the large estates of E. Montague Parker, Esq., the late M.P. for the so u th ern division of Devonshire, and the first appearance of the celebrated George Ro bins in our town, to officiate in his own proper per son. The day was fearfully hot, and the heat of the room when the company had assembled could be very little short of an East Indian atmosphere. The crowd was very great, and curiosity not a little excited. On A.ll- Robins's appearance he indulged them with a long and pithy exordium on the increased and in creasing value of terra firma, and it is but fair to pro claim he made lots o f converts to his reasoning ; in deed, it was most succe ss f u ll y dune, and evidently by the hand of a master, as the result will show. One of the farms, upon which there is a lease of four teen years to run, and at a rack ri•-)t, sold fin. forty two years' purchase. Mr. Robs, who haa been very happy in his previous m ai ntary, took occa sion to notice the value of hi s opi ion, by the most infallible proof, viz., the result. e ha d prev i ous l y taken a luminous view of Sir Robert Peel's alteration in the Corn-law which be PPeli t 4i 4e d to b e t h e res ul t of altrindintbdt4 with a perfect' nowkdge ~of the very intricate subj ec t whi c h he had taken up; and he did not hesitate to say that the Bilk a s it had passed the Reuses of Parliament, was so near to perfection that no one possessed of an accurate knowledge on this subject, would take the chance of again disturb , ing it. It might be considered now as a final measure. He then took credit with his auditory for a little share of perspicuity in his argument upon the Corn-laws, observing the result of these large sales had now placed his opinion beyond doubt; and he was proud to say he was the first, and in his own person, to illustrate nis opinion by facts that now could not well be con troverted. Mr. Robins dwelt very much upon the Sigh price of the funds, the probability of a slight increase. of one or two per cent., and con t raste d i t with the probability (in case of an angry message 11 . om pe a r n v cent. ; observing the of ) the allied powers) of a fall o f 20, or even 30 very c ause th at must produce the fall in the stocks would increase land in the exact same proportion. His concluding observa tions were to the effect, that next spring all the lead. ing capitalists would enter the field, and be purchasers of land, if the opportunity should fortunately present itself to find estates to deal with. — Plymouth paper, Sept. 5. near Stroud, • one of The Woodchester property, It is, the largest estate that ha s been subject I probably, to public co m e p the fine estates of the larl of Ducie, is coming int o the market ea r ly i n th e s pring. property in 1815.

GEORGE THOMPSON. THE CELEBRATED ANTI-CORN -LAW LECT URER, AND LATE CANDIDATE FOR SOUTHAMPTON. Perhaps, with the exception of Mendizabal, the ex- Prime Minister of Spain, there are few -men of the present day who have so rapidly and deservedly to (that of deservedly ri sen from a state o f i ns i gn ifi cence an d IndigenceA affluence and f ame , as th e a bove distinguished indivi dual. Wh en I fi rst b ecame a cquainted with Mr. Thompson, little more than thirteen 3 . , e, t rs . agy . .,.. he lived at a stay-maker's shop, in Cloth ur, Lest recollect being Smithfield, London, and well do I applied to by one of the fair occupants of the establish in -- , merit to obt a i n M r . Th ompson a situation an perweek. He at torney's office, at eighteen shillings coffee-shop, in subsequently opened a very smal l Ray-street, Clerkenwell ; and i t wa s whilst residing parish, that in that watch-making and first Mr. Thompson's extraordinary talents have political deve loped themselves. The Clerkenwellites long been n o t or i ous f or t h e i r v i o l en t party spirit, and I have f requen tl y b een as mu ch amused and edified by their ves t ry di scuss i on s, as I have by the more s erious an d impor t an t d e bate 3 in the House of Comm o ns. . Mr,..W,H. Bpdkin...the Old Bailey barrister, and now the Tory M.p.-for Rochester, was originally a furnitur e b ro k er i n the an j d :nad s, e his first essay as a publi c speaker In ain ‘ e f s Church, Clerkenwell. It so h a ppened attended a Thompson, on one occasion, accidentally that meeting of rate-payers, and after having listened, to the speeches of the then great attentively the parish, viz., Messrs. Tindall, orators of Gregory, Hewitt, Lieutenant-Colonel Coast, Scc., he ventured to open his mouth, and most effectually castigated and Pascal], silenced the clique. Thi s ne cessar ily aroused the ire of the parish auth or iti es, and Mr. Thompson was by their tyranny—fortunately for himself and the world —driven from the locality, and co to seek his livelihood by the ad opt i on of some other d profession. I remember meeting with the, n o w celebrated , lec turer, and his youn g w if e, in Mi ddleton - s treet,' when they were themselves, for the sake of economy, ae• tually carrying a portion of their household furniture. Thompson may well say " - ), empora mu l a ntur et nos mutamur in sae It so happ e ned, that shortly after his retirement from the coffee -dispensing business, the society for the abolition of slavery re quired the assistance of certain lecturers, and under the advice of Lord Brougham Mr. Thompson was most judiciously selected ; his heart-stirring appeals, for the purpose of effecting the object of his engage ment, must be fresh in the recollection o f many of the readers of this sketch. He has been for the last few years employed by the Anti -Corn-law League, and he is unquestionably one of the .most pow erful and ar gumentative speakers in f avour of those principles of free-trade. Mr. Thompson must now be about forty years of age, is above the middl e height, with an in telligent countenance ; a bold, fluent, . and correct speaker, although self-educated, and is always tho roughly conversant with his subjects. In private life he is a most amiable unassuming man, and is univer sally esteemed. It is somewhat singular that Mr. H. C. H. Justins, the talented gentleman who was employed to advocate the continuance of slavery, and who has recently been engaged to deliver lectures in favOur of the Corn-laws, Was, and I believe still is, a most intimate acquaintance of Mr. Thompson.—Li verpool Mercury.

THE MARKETS.—(YESTERDAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. This week's arrivals of English Grain have been small, of Foreign Wheat fair. There has not been much done in the Wheat Trade since Monday, but the prices of all qualities have been firm. In other Grain there was also a slack trade, without any varia tion from last report. Flour sold rather better at the late advance. SMITHFIELD MARKET. The number of Beasts and Sheep being short, and the weather more favourable, the best qualities sold readily at the present quotations. The demand for Veal and Pork was better, and sold at about 4d. per stone advance ; for the prime quality of Lamb there was a better trade, with prices firm. Beasts, 536. Sheep and Lambs, 7,800. Calves, 289. Pigs, 278. Beef, 3s. to 4s. 6d. ; Mutton, 3s. to 4s. 6d. ; Veal, 3s. 4d. to ss. 4d. ; Pork, 2s. 6d. to 4s. 6d.; Lamb, 4s. Bd. to ss. COLONIAL MARKET. There was a good business transacted, and although large parcels of goods were brought forward, yet nearly the whole sold at full rates. TEA MARKET. Prices . were fairly supported, and the demand was steady with few parcels passing for sale. The delive ries are still extensive. TALLOW MARKET.

A boy, named John Cox, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having entered the pre mises of Mr. Taylor, who keeps the Blue Anchor public-house, in Fenchurch-street, with intent to plunder. _ _ _ - The prisoner had been pot-boy in Mr. Taylor's house, some time ago ; and it appeared that he had, at at a late hour, made his way into the house, through a window, and locked the landlord's bed-room door, from the outside, in order, no doubt, to prevent Mr. Taylor from leaving the chamber in the event of alarm. The police in the neighbourhood having had reason to suspect, from noises which they heard, that something wrong was going on inside, knocked at the door, and found that Mr. Taylor was a prisoner in his own room, and the female was in great terror and amazement. The house was searched but no person was found. The bar-maid, however, at a little after six o'clock in the morning, observed the prisoner emerge from the trap-door of the cellar, with which his former habits in the house had made him ac quainted, and the police, who, of course, had their attention fixed upon the house, secured him. The prisoner said it was a mistake. lie never had been on the premises at all. The Loan MAYOR—I consider the family had a narrow escape. You were, no doubt, in the house to let in thieves to plunder it. The prisoner—l had no notion of committing a n y offence, I was looking for a place only. The Lord Mayor committed the prisoner to Bride well for two months. GUILDHALL. A STOLEN Boy.—David Cleaver, a very the bar sharp, intelligent-looking black boy, was placed a t charged with begging in the streets. The charge was proved. The prisoner said in his defence that he was a native of I3arbadoes. In the spring of the present year he ova; bathing in the sea, and the Captain of a vessel called the Triumph, which was lying at anchor in the bay, came to him and asked him if he would go with him to sea. He (the prisoner) said he would not, and then the Captain brought a boat and took prisoner's clothes, and told him to swim after them to the ship. He swam to the ship, and then he was seized and kept on board, and the vessel sailed that evening for England. The Captain discharged his cargo, and then refused to j take him back to Barbadoes. OMNIBUS RACING.—,John Pearson, the proprietor and driver of a Clapton omnibus, and Edward Lana way, the driver of one of Barber's Hackney omnibuses, were summoned at the instance of lysson, Esq., lord of the manor of Upper Clapton, to answer a charge of furious driving. Mr. John Tysson stated that on .the morning of the 29th ult., his brother and he got into the de fendant Pearson's omnibus, at Upper Clapton, for the purpose of proceeding to London. During the first part of the journey the defendant loitered so much that they found it necessary to complain of his con duct, but on reaching the Triangle at hackney the defendant Lanaway's omnibus passed them at a rapid rate, and the defendant Pearson quickened his pace, apparently in . order to overtake it, which he suc ceeded in doing, and both the omnibuses were driven abreast of each other, with the horses at a gallop, for a considerable distance. The passengers were greatly alarmed, and witness's brother repeatedly called to the defendant Pearson to stop, but his request was unheeded. On reaching the turnpike the defendant Pearson pulled up his horses, and witness got out with his brother, and travelled the rest of the way on foot. Neither of them paid any fare, and no demand was made for it; but the defendant expressed his regret at the occurrence, and said that he was unable to prevent it. Mr. BROUGIITON said that the public were very much indebted to Mr. Tysson for the trouble he had taken in bringing the case forward. The offence had been completely made out, and he had no hesi tation in saying that if death had ensued in conse quence of their furious driving, it would have amounted to an aggravated case of manslaughter. He should fine the defenaant Pearson 505., and the other defendant 405., and in default of payment he should commit them for one month to the House of Correction. The fines were paid. MA RYLEBONE. For some time past the respectable inhabitants of Charlotte -street, Portland-place, and Frederick-street, Connaught -square, have been much annoyed by the existence of low disreputable houses in the above localities, and the nuisance has at length arrived at such a height that the parochial authorities have, at the repeated requests of householders, taken up the matter, and intend indicting a number of the occupants. This day two females, conducting establishments of this description, were brought before the Magistrate, Mr. Long, and on their being identified as the parties against whom warrants had been taken they were held to bail for their appearance at the next sessions. UNION-HALL. George Beezely, the driver of a waggon, was changed with robbing a man, named Osborne, under the following circumstances : The complainant was on his way up to town from Bromley, and, having drank too much, he sat down by the side of the road and fell asleep. 'While he was dosing the prisoner and another man came along, and seeing the complainant in the above situation I the former said, " I h ave b een ro bb ed myself when have been drunk, and now I'll serve out thi's chap." He then robbed the complainant of his hat, two silk handker chiefs, an umbrella, and Bs. in silver. The witness al luded to, on arriving at the Bricklayers' Arms, gave informati on o f th e ro b bery to a 'policeman, who took the prisoner into custody, and in his possession the whole of the stolen property was folind.—Comniitted.

NlNG.—During the raging of the storm at Brighton, on "Wednesday evening, one of the Brighton police, named John Cooke, B. No. 4, was struck by the electric fluid. It appears that about eight o'clock Cooke was proceed ing to the Town Hall, for the purpose of going on night duty, when, on ascending the steps, he was struck sense less. Several of his companions ran to his assistance, and carried hitn into the hall, and fetched Mr. Cordy Burrows, the surgeon to the force, under whose care he came round, but he was completely deprived of sight. The lightning appears to have struck his head. During the greater part of the night the poor fellow was deli rious, and he now li es i n a most pitiable state, totally blind. Several other persons received alight shocks from Lhg elect ia fluid. .Tames Samuel Brown, who was remanded from this Court last Saturday, on the charge of forging Post-office orders for 391. 9s. 5d., was yesterday again placed at the bar before Mr. Twyford, charged with four distinct cases of forgery, to the amount altogether of 1431. Bs. 2d., with intent to defraud the Postmaster-General. The first case, which was partly gone into on Saturday last, and the particulars of which appeared in our Third Edition of that day, charged the pri soner with forging eight money orders, to the amount of 391. 9s. 5d., purporting to be drawn by the Post office at Sittingbourne, in Kent. - The follovving additional evidence was taken in this case : Charles Frederick Armstrong examined—l am a clerk in the money order department of the Gene ral Post-office, and reside at No. 22, Grove.terrace, St. John's -wood. On looking at the ten money orders which were found by Constable Peake in the prisoner's lodgings —as stated in the examination on Saturday—l see that they purport to be drawn by the Post-office at Bakewell, on the Post-office in the Old Kent-road. They are for 51. each. They are all in the prisoner's handwriting, and are dated Au gust 30, 1842. Robert Polter examined-1 am a coachman, in the service of Mr. Wells, livery-stable-keeper, of the Blackfriar's-road. I know the prisoner. On the 24th of August, between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, he came to my master's stables, and orde re d a carriage with a pair of horses. He h a d a cash-box in his hand. I put to the horses, and the prisoner Pot into the carriage. He ordered me to driv e t o t h e ost-office at Kennington. I drove him there, and he got out at the Post-office, and took his cash-box with him. I then drove him by his orders to the Post-office in the Clapham-road, the Post-office on .Camberwell-green, and the Post-office at Islington, at all of which places he got out, and took his cash box with him. I then drove him to the Bank of England, where he also got out with his cash-box. I next drove him to Sadler's Well's Theatre, when he opened the cash-box, and gave me ls. to get some refreshment at the Sir Hugh Middleton public-house. I saw sovereigns in the box then. lie shortly after wards came to fne at the public-house, and gave me 2s. more, and told me he should not want me any more. William Marsh, postmaster at Sittingbourne, proved that the letters of advice, dated Sittingbourne, Au gust 23d, 1842, and purporting to be issued by the post-office there, upon the post-office at Camberwell, advising the office to pay the money-order Nos. 207 to 213 for 5/. and 214 for 4/. 9s. 5d., were not issued by him or by any person in his employ. The other three charges were then heard, and Mr. Peacock, Solicitor to the Post-office, said he had some further evidence to produce, and requested the Magis trates to remand the prisoner till to-morrow. The prisoner declined saying anything to any of the charges, and was then- remanded till to-morrow (this day), when he will be fully committed for trial. WORSHIP -STREET.
