LF PRE MIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the , remiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid or the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquisLied 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 POL [CIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond tile prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a pecified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance •ffected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested, Oa the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retaia ng the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain iheir 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 ,quator. 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 he assured life.

YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND. Yesterday a meeting of shareholders in this com pany resident in York was held at ,the Black S wan, in that city, for the purpose of considering the means to be adopted for securing the welfare of this company. Mr. Amas was called to the chair, and he briefly addressed the meetiug, the object of which was fully stated by Mr. C. WILLIAMS, who said the present state of this company's affairs was such as to call for an ex pression by the shareholders as to what step shall be taken. It came to the knowledge of some of the shareholders that there was a difference of opinion betwixt the committe of investigation and ;the direc tors, which consisted chiefly as to who should be the chairman of the company. The shareholders were all aware that on the retirement of the old directors a considerable effort was made to place the present Lord Mayor of York (Mr. James Meek) and Mr. Joseph Ho wntree (also of York) upon the board. When the shareholders were informed that the committee con sidered the Lord Mayor ineligible for the office of chairman, it did appear that as they had taken rather a ctive steps in recommending him to that position they ought certainly to be ready to support him the chair. The object of this meeting, therefore, was to consider what are the best steps to be taken to conti nue the services of the Lord Mayor. As soon as some of the shareholders heard that the Lord Mayor had been requested to relin quish the office of chairman, a few of them met in York, and from that meeting a deputation was sent in the first place to the Lord Mayor, re questing him not to resign the office of chairman ; and, in the second place, the deputation waited upon the directors, requesting them not to accept the re signation of the Lord Mayor. This deputation was charged with a resolution showing that, in the opinion of the shareholders who had held that meeting; the Lord Mayor was quite eligible for the situation to which he had been appointed. The result of this measure was so far satisfactory that the Lord Mayor's resignation was not accepted, but is held in abeyance until the opinion of the shareholders is known upon the subject. It would seem that some time after the deputation to which he had referred had thus waited upon the directors, the committee of investigation intimated to the directors that they still held their former opinion with regard to the ineligibility of the Lord Mayor, and that they should take an opportunity to consult the shareholders thereupon ; and they had requested the directors to call a special meeting. This had been done by advertisement, and he was informed that the main object of that meeting was to consult the shareholders with regard to the eligi bility of the Lord Mayor as chairman of thia com pany. The objection urged against the Lord Mayor is that he is a director of the Great Northern Railway. Now, whatever may be the opinions formed with regard to the general principle of having a director of one company who is a director of another, no one who knew the position of this line in relation to the Great Northern and the East and West Lancashire would come to the con clusion that an exception to the general rule should not be taken, and that the connexion of the Lord Mayor rendered him particularly eligible fur the office of chairman of this company's board of di rection.—(Cheers.) Under the circumstances in which they were now placed, it did seem very im portant that the shareholders should be apprised of what was going on in York, and that they should be made acquainted with the perilous condition of their property. It would be seen the committee and directors were opposed to each other on what he held :o be a very important point, an I therefore it seemed expedient to draw up an address to be sent to each shareholder, explaining the circumstances under which the question of the board of direction stands, and to call upon them to withhold their consent from any proposition, and not to sign any proxies, until the matter is fully brought before them by the board of directors. The committee are about to publish another report, and they were about to send out proxies to the shareholders throughout the country. If this were carried out, and 3,000 shareholders signed these proxies, the committee of investigation would be able to carry the point, and deprive the shareholders of the services of their present chairman. With these views an address had been prepared, which he would now read. [Mr. Williams then read the address, the substance of which is contained in the speech above.] He concluded by moving that the address be printed and circulated among the shareholders. Mr. J. H. TIME seconded the motion. Mr. Witualts ' in answer to a question by Mr. Watson, said he believed there was no difference as to,ithe desirableness of retaining;the services of the Lord Mayor. In the course of a short discussion it was urged that the committee ought not to put the company to an expense of 3751. for stamps alone by issuing proxies, when a circular containing the question proposed would answer the same purpose. The address was unanimously adopted. Mr. CHAMPNEY then moved that a deputation wait upon; the committee of investigation, to press upon their attention that in the present depressed state of the company they would not be justified in putting the company to the expense of stamped proxies in ascertaining the wishes of the shareholders. Mr. CHARLTON seconded the motion, and it WAS carried unanimously. The meeting shortly afterwards separated. William Adams, Esq. John Atkins, Esq. henry Augustus Bevan, Esq.

At a meeting of the directors of this company, held at Limerick on Friday, it was unanimously resolved to adopt measures for winding up the affairs of the company. The adoption of such a measure was strongly urged on the directors, but without effect, by several shareholders, more than twelve months ago. The Act of incorporation was obtained in the session of 1846, authorising the company to raise 300,0001. on shares, and 100,000/. on loan, for the construction of 37 miles of railway.

By the operation o f the same princ N iples, the Society is enabled to afford to the publie a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, alarg e sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by e.ving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-th:lr as of all previous payments, it removes all risk of ferfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource. during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purcheaer die before arriving at the stipulated - period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following T'able is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the j ntlicious application of a small saving cam. secure through this Society. It appeared from the report that six persons, repre senting 352 shares, and giving 106 votes, were in favour of the motion, and four persons representing 106 shares, and giving 42 votes, were against it. There was a majority in favour of the motion of 64 votes. The 3,087 shares held by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, representing 326 votes, were not allowed to be used on the occasion. The CHAIRMAN said that every information which the shareholders required should be laid before them He thought it desirable for the shareholders to hav every information on the subject, and that a copy of the minutes should be given in preference to any other report, as giving a fair statement of what took place in the committee appointed to draw up the state ment referred to.

EILEAN AIGAS.—LIDEEALITY OE SIB R. PEEL.— We understand that Sir Robert and Lady Peel intend leaving Eileen Aigas on Monday next. The Right Hon. Baronet has forwarded a draft for 501. to Mr. Kennedy, Croyard (factor for Lord Lovat), for the benefit of the poor. In transmitting this very liberal benefaction, Sir Robert requests that Mr. Ken nedy will undertake, "in communication with the ministers of the several religious congregations to apply it to the relief, during the approaching winter, of those of the poor living in the neighbourhood of Eilean Aigas and of Struy, who may be most in ❑eed of it." Sir Robert adds, " the trifle they will receive from me will, I trust, be in addition to the aid on which they would have a claim from any other source." This generosity on the part of the Right Hon. Baronet must entitle him still more to the gratitude of the poor around Eileen Aigas, to whom he has already been a liberal benefactor. The charities of Lady Peel will also bo long remembered; and it may be said, with all sincerity, that no family visiting the north ever secured a more affectionate interest in their welfare or greater respect than the family of Sir Robert Peel. The uniform courtesy, affability, and benevolence that have marked their intercourse with the people are truly above all praise. Caution.—E. Moses and Son regret having to guard the public against imposition; but having heard that the untradesmanlike faLsellood of being connected with them, or" It is the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have no connexion with any other hots. in er out of London, except their Branch Establishments, 34, Ear gate, Sheffield ; and 19, Thornton's-buildings, Bradford, Yorkshire ; and t dose who require cheap and genuine clothing, Bzc., should call at or send to the Nfinories and Aldgate, City, London ; or either of the Branch Establishments, as above.

THE MOORS. —The Perth Courier states, that most of the sporting parties in the Highlands have now re turned south again, after a season of average sport. The birds were well advanced, and wild from the commence ment; so that, although there were few heavy bags on any particular day, the general sport was more to the taste of the true sportsman. Partridge shocting has now taken the place of grouse, and they are more abun dant than for ton years past. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean have been performing at Portsmouth with extraordinary success. The houses were so crowded that the manager converted the pit into stalls, all of which were instantly let at box prices.

The extra trains this morning were freight. d with an immense number of passengers of every grade, as many, we should say, as have been brought on any Cesare witch day since Newmarket has had direct communica tion with the metropolis. Being market-day, and the weather having undergone a favourable change, the crowd was increased by hundreds of the country people, and the main street was so thronged for an hour or two before the commencement of the races as to be almost impassable. The ring assembled as usual in front of the rooms, but the betting was not remarkable for any great fluctuations; four horses, however, were decidedly in force, viz., the two favourites, Glenalvon and Lady Evelyn—the outlay on these was heavy; Glen Saddel and Esselarius were also in some favour, at improved prices. The racing commenced at half-past twelve, an notwithstanding the impediments which so greaten motley an assemblage necessarily threw in the way od business, was got through with praiseworthy' punctualityf We subjoin an outline of the racing spoilt.- • Sweepstakes of 5 soya. each; for two yrs old, Est 101 b; three, Bst 8:b; four and upwards, 9st; the winner to be sold for 70 sovs. if demanded, &c.

FRANCE and the UNITED STATES The following are the last three letters of the cor respondence of the French and American Governahnts with reference to M. Poussin "NE. DE TOCQUEVILLE TO MIL RUSH. (Translation.) _ _ _ "Paris, August 9. " Sir,—l have received with the letter which you did me the honour to write me on the 7th of last month, the copy of the correspondence drhich has taken place between the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the United States and the Minister of France at 'Washington, upon the subject of two claims which the latter had been charged to present to the Federal Government—one against the irregular detention of the French ship L'Eugenie, by Commo dore Carpender, off Vera C ruz; and the other for the purpose of asking for an indemnification in favour of M. Porte, a French merchant, for the abrogation of the sale of a certain quantity of tobacco struck off to him by the commander of the American forces at Puebla. " These two affairs having hitherto been discussed at Washington, where they are to be concluded, it is not my province to examine their merits. Besides, I am too certain of the integrity of the Government of the Union to doubt that it will ultimately acknow ledge every claim founded in right; and,'on its'part, it cannot think that the French Government allows itself to be drawn, by the desire of protecting its subjects, to support pretensions the justice of which has nut been demonstrated to it. " These sentiments of reciprocal confidence being of a nature to avert and prevent, in the discussions of private interests, those susceptibilities and misunder standings which cannot fail to complicate them, we have seen, with as much astonishment as regret, the turn which the communications exchanged between our Envoy and Mr. Clayton have taken. Even before I had received the letter which which you have written to me to call my attention; to ,them, M. Poussin had transmitted copies of them to me. I bad been painfully impressed to find in that corre spondence a tone of acerbity and harshness very little conformable to the friendly relations between the two countries; but I ought to say, without entering into useless recriminations, without seeking for the side whence the first injuries proceeded, it had ap • peared to me that this observation was not alone applicable to the letters written by the Minister of France. " M. Poussin, doubtless misconstruing some ex• pressions in those which have been addressed to him by the Secretary of State, believed he saw in them a want of respect, for which he may have manifested his resentment with too much spirit ; but, if a passage of his letter of the of April may have hurt Mr. Clayton, it seems to me that there is no longer any ground to take advantage of it against him after he has consented to withdraw it; and he has given a pretty signal proof of his conciliatory spirit in ab staining from animadversion upon an expression in the answer addressed to him by that Minister on the 21st of April, which, estimated with a certain degree of susceptibility, might have seemed to be rather an imperious summons than a diplomatic invitation. " Furthermore, Sir, it is not necessary for me to tell you that I entirely concur in the opinion which you express upon not deviating in negotiations from the observances and forms of a benevolent courtesy, " I invite M. Poussin never to forget this rule in his intercourse with the Government of the United States, and I am sure that, if it be reciprocated, the observance of it will be rendered easy to him. " Receive, Sir, the assurance of the high consider ation with which I have the honour to be, your very humble and very obedient servant, "ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLIL" THN SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE UNITED STATES TO THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF FRANCE. "Department of State, 'Washington, Sept. 8. " Sir,—l have received a dispatch from Mr. Rush, the American Minister in Paris, of the 13th of 9 A th u g o u f st t , h c a o t v m er o i n ng th. a n ß ot o e th fr h o a m ve j b •o e u en to su hbimm tted to the President, with the correspond ence t o w hi c h they ,i dated the relate. As Mr. Rush is returning home, and Mr. Rives, who has been appointed to succeed him as Minister to France, has probably not yet arrived in Paris, I hasten to avail myself of the only means of communication between the Governments we repre sent, by addressing you directly . on the subject of your note. " You acknowledge the receipt of the correspon dence which took place between the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the United States, and the Minister of France at Washington,' from which it must have been obvious to your mind that the latter had repeatedly and gratuitously addressed communi cations to this Government highly offensive and dis courteous both in manner and in substance. "That correspondence was submitted simply to enable your Government to decide upon the proper course to be taken in regard to its own Miniater. You appear to have considered the occasion as one which called upon you to construct an apology for that Minister, by indiscriminately censuring both parties to the correspondence. You were not invited to decide as an arbiter upon the mode in which the American Government conducted that correspon dence, which was not only courteous and respectful in terms, but entirely unexceptionable in spirit ; and you could not have failed to observe that this depart. ment had not, in any instance, descended to recrimi nation, whether useless or otherwise, with M. Poussin. " Should the correspondence of any Minister of this Republic prove insulting to the friendly Govern ment of France, the Government is too confident of our desire to maintain kind relations with it to doubt that the President of the United States would feel it to be a high duty to examine the complaint, and to render a prompt and proper atonement for the injury. But the issue presented in the correspondence of M. Poussin cannot be evaded by any charge of recrimi nations. If that charge can be made with any shadow of truth, let it be separately presented, and it will be promptly and most respectfully considered. " The President instructs me to say to your Excel lency that, as from the whole tone of your communi cation to Mr. Rush, which has struck him with wuch surprise, it would seem that the disrespectful lan guage of the French Minister at Washington has been received with indulgence, and held worthy of palliation by the distinguished Minister of Foreign Affairs of France, who has manifested no disposition to redress the wrong, he, as the chief magistrate of the United States, feels himself now at perfect liberty, and in fact constrained, with a view to preclude opportunities which might be again abused, to per form, without any further delay, an unpleasant duty, from which he had hoped his friendly appeal to the French Government would have relieved him. TARVATION UNDER THIC TREATMENT. o'clock, Mr. H. M. Wu!:ley, allesex, and a jury of inhabi ,zsembled for the third time at the Perseverance _avern, William street, Hamp stead-road, to conclude their inquiry cancerning, the death of Mr. Richard David Pearce, aged thirtyaibur, an upholsterer, late of No. 83, Mary street, alleged to have been starved to death whilst under the homan pathic treatment fur cholera, adopted by his brother, Mr. Charles Thomas Pearce, an unqualified hotaceo pathic practitioner, residing at No. 3, Taunton-place, Regent's -park. ing d s, th a e cc i o n m qu p i a r n y ie e d The accused was present throughout the proceed an xcbiytedAltrh.roDugorloduitn Dowding, his neighbour hoodici solicitor, a great deal of interest, vSpecially amongst the medical profession. The following is •- an epitome • of the evidence. Mrs. Jane Pearce, widow of the deceased, deposed that he was taken ill with diarrhoea and spasms of the stomach, on Saturday, the Bth ultimo. On Sunday morning, the 9th, Mr. llarris, surgeon, of Gower street, was sent for, and on arriving pronounced de ceased to be labouring under cholera. Mr. llarris saw him three times that day, and gave him medicine, and Mr. Charles Thomas Pearce, the ac cused, came the same evening. When he came, he said he should take deceased under his own care, and she believed he dismissed Mr. llarris. He told her he had taken his brother out of Mr. Harris's hands, and he then gave him a powder, giving her strict in junctions not on any:account to give deceased anything to eat or drink excepting ice water and the medicines he sent. The deceased was under his treatment fur ten days previous to his death, which took place on the 18th September. During the whole of that period Mr. Pearce, the accused, refused to allow him to have anything to eat. Deceased continually craved for food, and when she appealed to the brother about it, he said if she gave him food she would kill him, and therefore she was afraid to do so. Deceased was continually crying for food, and complained that he was being starved to death. She sent fur Mr. Davis, another surgeon, on the evening of the 17th, because her husband became much worse. She did give him some beef tea and some arrowroot, and the day be fore lie died some toast. He was sick more than three times. He did not get any better under his brother's treatment. Mr. James Davis, surgeon, of Ampthill•square, deposed that he was called to see deceased on the evening of the 17th ult., and found him in a very low and exhausted condition, apprrently for want of nourishment. Deceased was sensible, and told him he had been starved to death by the homoeopathic system of medical treatment. lie ordered him some brandy and water and sent him medicine, and when he saw him on the following morning, the 18th, he was dying. Could not say that he considered him labouring under cholera when he first saw deceased. On examining the body he found it much emaciated. The liver, kidneys, lungs, and right side of the heart were congested. The stomach was healthy, but all that was found in it was a small quantity of liquid matter of a brown colour, which, on being tested, proved to contain a slight portion of arsenic. In witness's opinion the cause of deceased's death was exhaustion from want of food. Was informed that all deceased had had in the shape of food was a litt:e beef tea and some arrowroot. Considered such treat meet enough to exhaust and kill any man. The inquiry was ultimately adjourned till last evening, Mr. Harris, who first attended the deceased, being out of town ; and on the re-assembling of the jury—__ Mr. Harris was sworn—Finding that the brother of deceased professed the doctrine of homce3pathy, and that he wished deceased to be treated under that system, he told him he could not act in concert n ith him, and at his request ho then gave the care of de ceased over to him. He could not say that deceased lied of Asiatic cholera. He had cholera when he (Mr. Harris) saw him, and he treated him for it He did not give up the case because :it was hopeless. Having heard the whole of the evidence read over, Mr. llarris said he certainly considered the deceased had not had sufficient food to sustain life. On the contrary, he (witness) ordered strong beef tea, arrow root, brandy-and-water, and solidi, if he could take them. Mr. Dowding, on the part of the accused, proposed to call Dr. Epps, Dr. Kelsall, and other professors of the homoeopathic system who were present, and who, he said, would prove that the treatment of the'de ceased was skilful and proper. Dr. Kelsall was sworn—He said he was a professor of homccepathy, and had formerly been a surgeon in the navy. He had had many cases of Asiatic cholera under his care, and he considered the treatment pur sued by the accused proper. It was his firm conviction that it was highly improper to give food in cases of cholera. No food whatever should be given from the moment ,of attack until the pa tient is convalescent. He had patients under his own care without food for a longer period than deceased, and he considered it certain death to give a patient any food whatever. To give a patient labouring under cholera arrowroot—you might just as well give him sawdust. lie had bad one hundred patients under his care, within the last two months, and bad only lost ten. Sir. Dowding wished to call Dr. Epps to corrobo rate this statement, but the jury declined hearing him. The Coroner, in summing up the evidence, said it was the opinion of th e mos t em i nen t an d educated in the medical profession that the system of homccopathy was a species of humbug and quackery, not fbunded on medical science. It had been proved that the de ceased had died from exhaustion from want of food, and the question was by whose influence the food had been withheld. The coroner then cited the judg ments of Lord Lyndhurst and several other judges, showing that if a medical man, whether qualified or not, treated a person unskilfully, and death ensued, he was guilty of manslaughter. After two hours' deliberation the jury returned a _ verdict of Manslaughter against Charles Thomas Pearce, who was at once committed to Newgate on the coroner's warrant. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Ciurt was held for the dispatch of business. STATE OF THE PRISONS. Amongst the reports of the state of the City pri sons, which were anted to be free from infectious or epidemic diseases, was the following relative to the Debtors' Prison : " The Governor respectfully reports that the num bers for the past quarter show an increase of sixty one over the commitments of the preceding quarter, which is to be accounted for by the increased number of commitments from the Palace Court ; and although the authority of that Court to issue writs on the let of August last, and its power of commitment will cease finally on the 31st of December, yet, as by the opera tion of the Small Debt s Amendment Act, the whole of the county courts of Middlesex, besides the city of London, will commit to the Debtors' Prison, the numbers committed by county court process must be considerably increased. The Governor further reports, that during the past quarter the whole of the gaol has been whitewashed and cleansed according to the Act, and that his efforts to promote cleanliness have been most promptly met by all the prisoners, to which circumst ances , a id e d b y th e atten tion of the surgeon, and the free use of the oxide of iron in the drains and closets, may, under Providence, be attributed the preservation of this prison from a single case of chobra." IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN CATTLE. The report of the General Purposes Committee upon the petition of the importers of foreign cattle and wharfingers for permission to drive cattle from thu wharfs to Smithfield_market upon the arrival of the vessels at their several destinations for Monday's market, was brought up. It stated that the com mittee saw no reason for making any alteration in the existing regulations, and was agreed to by the Court. Several reports upon subjects of no public import ance were brought up and agreed to. THE NEW CORPORATION ACT. The court was closed — upon the discussion of Mr. Alderman Sidney's motion. "To draw the attention of the Court to certain clauses of an Act passed during the last session of Parliament, for regulating elec tions in the city of London, and to obtain the opinion of the law officers of the corporation upon the construction to be placed upon the wording of the same." We understand that the court was finally counted out.

EIGHT MILE MATCLI IN THIRTY MINUTES FOR 25 BOYS. ASIDE.—Mt. George Jenks un dertook to cover four miles of turnpike-road, out and in, within half an hour's fair trotting, according to Ameri can rules. The wager was decided yesterday at Houns low, Mr. Tarling, the backer of time, choosing ends for start and finish. These were from the 14th mile stone, on the Western-road, to the 10th (near the Red Lion, at Hounslow), and returning o ver th e same ground to finish at the 14th. Tom Spring, with a watcher, as check, was timekeeper. At starting 2 to 1 was freely offered on the horse, but the backers of time were shy. The old black one, who has been driven three years on London stones in a hack cab, went away beautifully, and, without a single break, completed the distance in 27 minutes 9 seconds, having 2 minutes and 51 seconds in hand.

The barony and estate of Islay, comprising the island of Islay arid small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most produetive properties in the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which 34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present to 20,0001.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex pended in drainage anl Improvements. The rents are periodically and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for about 500.0001., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose, and contingent expenses, of 600,0001., in 12,000 501. shares, each shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of nominees to be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the estate. On the basis; of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000 nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business of a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividand of profits. Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way of in terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of the genera; life assurance department (and the basis and guarantee indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and lucra tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years h's nominee survives, In theaccumnlated and constantly improving rental; and, in the evt.nt of his nominee being the last survivor, will become the absolute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en hanced.'u o The s of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq , the eminent actuary of the Me dical and Invalid Assurance Company, and receivLd his entire ap probation. The estate is to be vested in three trustees, resident in Scotland. The affairs of the Society shall be conducted by a board of seven directors in Scotland, communicating with a board of correspondence in London. Two general meetings shall be herd in Scotland in the months of June and December. The preliminary deposit to be ss. per share (being the maximum allowed under the Registration Act), and a call of 11. per share shall be made on complete registration.

ANECDOTE OF MICHEL A.NGI3I.O.—U nder the Papacy of Julius HI. the faction of Michel Angelo's rival, San Gallo, gave him some trouble respecting the building of St. Peter's, and went so far as to prevail upon that Pope to appoint n committee to examine the fabric. Julius told him that a particular part of the church was dark. " Who told you that, Holy Father?" replied the artist. " I did," said Cardinal Marcello. " Your Eminence should consider, then," said Michel Angelo, "that besides the window there is at present, I intend to have ono in the ceiling of the church." " You did not tell me so," replied the Cardinal. " No, indeed, I did not, sir; lam not obliged to do it, and I would never consent to bo obliged to tell your Eminence or any other person whom soever anything concerning it. Your business is to take care that money is plenty in Rome, that there are no thieves there—to let me alone, and to permit me to pro ceed with my plain as I please."—Builder. ERRORS IN . OPENING OYSTERS.—L it not strange that people persevere in customs dictated, in the first instance by ignorance, and maintained by popular pre judice? For instance, in the matter of opening oysters what a gross—and to the epicure what a fatal blunder-- the fishmonger commits in separating the fish from the under shell! If he would take the trouble to inform himself on the anatomy of the oyster, he would find that it does not lose its life on being opened, but dies directly it is separated from the under shell. He may prove this to his satisfaction by touching the beard of the fish after he has opened it, and he will find that it contracts, shrinking from the touch of steel. Let him, therefore, for the future cease to torture the epicure by sending him in dead oysters. They should come to table fixed to the under shell, and so preserve all their delicious qua lities.—Knife and Fork. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, NEW CROSS.—This insti tution recently received the munificent sum of 4,043/. 2s. 6J. from the trustees under the will of the late Dr. Bell, viz , the Earl of Leven and Melville, the Bishop of Glocester, Lord Kenyon, and Mr. Walter Cook, who have been unanimously elected vice patrons. The late Captain Simpson, of Greewich Hospital, has bequeathed 501. to this school. THE Flan' BLAST or WINTEn.—The hills round Kendal and the lake district have been ratber thickly mantled with snow during the plat week, and the tem perature is much lower. Many of the lake visitors have already migrated, swallow-like, at the first touch of the nipping blast, though a good many still remain for the chance of a fine day or two more. Oar Brough correspondent says that on Stainmore the snow was drifted three feet deep.--Westmoreland Gazette. Mimmni 1111101•••
