The Assured has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid. DIVISION OF PROFITS. The continued prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors at the Annual Meeting, held on the 10th of May, 1848, to declare Sixth bonus, ♦arying from 27 to 65 per cent. ou the Premiums paid *a each Policy effected on the profit scale.

By the operation of the same princip les, the Society is enabled to afford to the public 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 oare either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk et forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and ahould the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two- Thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.

When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only ef fectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above named articles, applied alternately, tho botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf, and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a nou risher. If ally further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlia's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians, would be a sufficient answer. By F. B. COURTENA T, If.R.C.S.E., " The operation of introducing a catheter through an impermeable stricture is, without doubt, the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, and demands all the prudence, science, and skill of a master.

The Court sat yesterday morning to hear appeals and bail cases. THE SANITARY BILL. Thomas Mitchell was indicted by the parochial autho rities for a misdemeanour, in keeping " bone-boiling" premises in Great Peter-street, Westminster, and " thereby causing the atmosphere to become impreg nated with certain noxious and deleterious matter, cal culated to injure the health of the inhabitants, and creat ing a public nuisance." Mr. PAYNE intimated that his Learned Friends Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin were, as well as himself, con cerned in this case, and as there were a vast number of scientific gentlemen who were to be called as witnesses in the course of the trial on both sides, he lamented to find that it should have been placed so low in the list. It was exceedingly inconvenient to a large number of gentlemen whose time was most precious, not merely to themselves, but to the public. The case could not but occupy a very long time in its trial, and therefore, as it would be impossible for it to be taken after the other cases in the paper had been disposed of, he would ask that it might be adjourned over to a future day, when it should stand the first on the list. The Learned JUDGE said, it no objections were raised on the other., side, he could very easily grant the ap plication. As there was no opposition, and as it was quite manifest that the postponement must be attended with advantage to all parties, he would order the case to stand over to the Bth of March. THE CASINOS.—Bench warrants were in the course of the day granted ..to Stowell, who prosecutes in these cases, against the proprietors of the different casinos, against whom the grand jury have found true bills, Stowell entering into recognizances of 1004 to prosecute with effect. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. An elderly woman, named Ala rgaret Jones, was charged with begging in the streets. John Plant, 37E, said that he saw the prisoner, about seven o'clock the previous evening, begging on Ludgate hill, and several times cautioned her th at i f she did not desist he sh o uld b e obliged to take her i nto custody. He walked on a few yards and then turnedrounterdaen, when dsa e l n y she a r h en ad ter a Mr. lnaf Pgiuvrecneltlo'sh, her. He baker,Hecor a ndingly took her to and beg there, the station-house, and on being searched the loaf and 4d. were found upon her. The prisoner in defence said she was not begging, but went into the shop with lid. in her hand to purchase some stale bread, intending to lay out the rest of the money in buying a little tea and butter. The owner of the shop not having any stale bread, gave her the loaf found in her possession. Alderman HUNTER sentenced her to seven days' hn prisonment. David _Deans, another well-known beggar, was charged with a similar offence. William Bayley, 271, said that he found the prisoner, whom he had known for the last two years as gett i ng hi s living by b egg i ng , i n St. Martin's-le-Grand, soliciting alms from every one he met. On being searched he found 7d. in copper, a tobacco-box, and two duplicates ;n his possession. Alderman HUNTER sent him to prison for seven days. . ... :-•,-„_„_. . . 4 t. i , "lt'' p- , ,, , 5. • L • Ata l .. , '-, ,, ,de 4 ,y--- 4 4 , '' cs ..--p. -,,- - - • _, 4, - ~ , v 4 00 .... ~.. .1. _ ..•,' 4 , .-0-,-..,-.4., i. l 4 - ,... ,',„,,,A,4„,.., •_ , li ,„ t ., , it. . - __ ~.k •I ., it ,„„.,,- .: . , , _.,z ~;/, ,- s '' - ' '' ' ', 41• 6 ,... . - ~b , . • , . - 74 ' ". 4 f. -: ilit t 'o')! 4,541 r, - 4,.., '''''' ,. 7.f" , A ig . ,;. ~,' , - E .

Reader, remember, this letter was put Int the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this eppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, •f the lierhary, High gate for the eillcacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hal ris much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Kr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase az lie. bottle If tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair fa abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itl far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasare in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops en the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, male it strong, aid prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A. few drops on your hairbrush before brushing tke hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most ciesaste ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of neveus headache, pour ten or twelve drops en the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair en children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influenee on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—Seo oaMphlet of testimonials.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em ,:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret rm oomprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the arniversity of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage reiptires -the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the erigin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant iisap pointmeets. Excesses are always injations ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional , and vital powers. The particular excesses, en the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account if the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap- Plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he f j ) , , Beta that accu ra t e di scr i m i na ti on in ascertaining the causes of T!, ,, e, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, riably c haracterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by hi., posse'sion of the requisite leal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in 1113 profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. earth has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas 'nu the great extent of his practice f ar many years is a solely to the trees g uar antee for professional experience, which has reference almost treatment of th ese diseases.

LAUNCH or THE FLOATING RAILWAY.—The launch of this novelty in railway engineering, for ferry ing the trains over the Frith and Forth, took place on Tuesday afternoon at Messrs. R. Napier's ship building yard, near Glasgow. The operation excited consider able interest, more particularly as the vessel was built " broadside," and not in the usual manner, with her bow or stern to the river, it being conceived that owing to the elevation of the ground above the high water level of the Clyde, the launch of the vessel on the broadside system could be more safely and easily effected. The method, in fact, was adopted from the circumstance of the success attending it in the case of one or two other iron vessels of 100 tons burthen, just built at Glas gow , for the Forth and Clyd e Canal, and which have been launched broadside from a height of twelve feet into the river. The signal being given to pipe all hands, the ` blocks were removed, and the stopper ropes cut, when the huge fabric, 170 feet long on deck, by 34 feet wide between the paddles, and 10 feet deep, strongly framed and plated to sustain the great weight of a train of loaded trucks, glided with a gently increasing velocity to the end of her ways, fell about 2i feet to the river, gave two or three heavy rolls, and then drifted into the centre of the stream and was towed to the Broomielaw, where she received her machinery. Her engine is 56 in cylinder and 3 feet 6 inches stroke, working each paddle. A chimney on each side allows a clear space in the centre for three trucks loaded abreast, and the cap tain stands above them between the piddles to steer either end foremost. The vessel is of iron ribb6d, the plates on the bottom being half an inch thick. The usual baptismal ceremony of breaking a bottle of wine at the bow was dispensed with, and the vessel being a sort of hybrid between a railway and a steamboat, is to be known as " the floating railway." . [ADvEnnsnatENT.]—More Cures by Holloway's Pills.—Read this.—Mrs. Jemima Albert, the widow of a naval officer, residing in Campbell-place, St. George's in the East, had been ill for a long time with a distressing cough, accom panied with much expectoration, great weakness of the chest, and continued head-aches ; besides this, her digestion was greatly impaired, appetite completely gone, and always drowsy. She considered herself past cure. Yet notwithstanding her advanced age, she is restored to the highest state of health and vigour by the use of Holloway's Pills, declaring she feels more like a young girl than one of her years, being so hale and strong.

PORT OF GRIMSBY.—We understand that the Great Northern Company are contemplating a line to branch from the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln shire, at the Lock, to a jetty (by the basin) which has been undergoing a thorough renewal, for the purpose of landing goods of all descriptions at the Old Dock, with out having recourse to the tedious and expensive mode of carting. This must eventually prove a great public convenience, both for export and import traffic., particu larly as regards the transit of coals from sloops. The Great Northern Company have also erected a very spa cious and substantial warehouse near Pasture-street. It is expected that very shortly first-rate steamers will ply between Grimsby, Rotterdam, and other ports. — Eastern Counties Herald. FOREIGN SUGAR CANDY. —Very large arrivals are taking place of sugar candy from the Dutch ports, the manufacture of Holland, and in consequence of the re duction of the duty on the article, a very considerable quantity of it is cleared for home use: The steamer Camilla, just arrived from Nieu Diep, has brought the large quantity of 918 cases of the article, in addition to 222 barrels of crushed refined sugar, as a portion of her cargo, the produce of Holland. - MAR I;LEBONE. Mr. Frederick 1V e - w — enham — , an artist, residing at No. 11, Douro-cottages, St. John's-wood, was charged on a war rant with having committed an assault of a most violent and unprovoked nature upon Charles Wilson, a con ductor of one of the Atlas omnibuses (Fisher's) running to and from St. John's-wood and Camberwell-gate. Complainant, whose face was much swollen a few days ago when he made application to the magistrate, deposed that at twelve o'clock on the night of Wednesday, the 31st ult., defendant got into his 'buss in the Quadrant, and took his seat by the door; on arriving at Boston street, defendant called out "Have you change for a sovereign?" he (complainant) replied that he had not, adding that there was a light in a house (pointing to the Windsor Castle) and that he would get change for him there. He said, " I'll see you d—d first; I owe you one or two." Complainant then told him that he would procure change at the Nightingale; the vehicle proceeded and defendent suddenly struck a blow wish his stick, no doubt intended for complainant, which missed him, but took effect upon the omnibus window frame. He next struck complainant three times in the face with all his force, in consequence thereof he nearly fell from the step. He at length gave defendant into custody, and he was conveyed to the station house, when the inspector on duty recommended that a w arran t should be appli e d for, which was done. The defendant's answer to the charge was, that he was driven alo'ng the road a greater distance than he wished to go, and feeling that he was confined in the omnibus against his will he certainly 'did use force to wards complainant in order to remove him from the step, as he prevented him ,(defendant) from making his egress. — Other evidence was gone into and the defendant was fined in the full penalty of 51. The money was instantly paid. WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Hinchcliffe, a thick-set powerful young fel low, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with being a begging impostor. Newell, a constable of the N division, said, he was on duty at 10 o'clock that morning in Windsor-terrace, City-road, when be saw the prisoner knock at a great number of doors in succession, and clamorously solicit charity, upon the ground of his being in great distress, and that he had sustained some very serious injury in his arm, which was suspended in a sling, and appeared to be crippled. Witness was dressed in plain clothes, for the more ready detection of offenders, and the prisoner, after leaving the last door he had applied at, at once made up to him, and in a canting whine commenced a harrowing detail of his real or assumed misfortunes, which would have no doubt been successfnl in the extraction of money from any casual passenger, but which instantly stopped upon th e w it ness seizing him by the collar, and, pointing out his mistake, telling,. him he should take him to the st a ti on . Il e then asked him what he had been doing at the houses he had knocked at, and the prisoner, without the slightest prevarication, answered, " Begging." "And what is the matter with your arm?" said the witness. "Oh, nothing at all," said the pri soner. " Then what do you put it into a sling for?" " Why, you see," said he, "when I went about with my arm not suspended and wrapped up in this way, I found that I could get nothing out of anybody, as the people I asked for assistance immediately exclaimed, "Oh 1 you are a strong y oung man, and ought to get a living by work,' and then we n t o ff w i thout dropping I put my arm into a sli ng , as i t is now, because found that those who did so g o t more money." a penny; so .1 Mr. HicamiLL committed him as a rogue and vaga bond, and sentenced him to a month's imprisonment, with hard labour, in the Ilouse of Correction. The Magistrate requests us to acknowledge his re ceipt of a letter from 11. W., enclosing a contribution of W. for the purposes of the poor •box, which the benevo lent donor expressed a wish to see a notice of in this paper. BOLTON ELECTION. RETURN OF SIR J. WALMSLEY. Yesterday, the election commenced with great spirit, and Mr, Bridson's friends were very sanguine of suc cess; but the first return of the poll published showed that Sir Joshua Walmsley had the start. At half-past nine o'clock he was upwards of thirty a-head of his op ponent, and gradually improved his majority until, near the middle of the day, his advantage was upwards of one hundred. The Conservatives made a vigorous push in the afternoon, and reduced the majority by three o'clock. But there was little hope of winning at this late hour, and the fact that from two to three o'clock little more than fifty voters polled for both sides, showed that the contest was as good as terminated. At four o'clock the return was:— CLOSE OF THE POLL. Walmsley (Liberal) Bridson (Tory) Majority for Sir J. Walmsley —56 The borough was in a state of great excitement to wards the close of the poll ; and though the Liberal candidate abstained from feeing publicans to keep open house, and oven carried the purity principle so far as not even to have a band of music, and to wish his friends not to exhibit colours or favours, there was no lack of drunkenness in the streets.

B.—This important, in vestigation, respecting the death of the 7.5 persons who perished by an explosion in Darley Main Colliery, at this place, on Wednesday, the 24th ult., was resumed this forenoon at the Masons' Arms, before the district coroner, Mr. T. Badger. Mr. Tremenheere, a commissioner under Lord Ashley's Act relative to mines, and Mr. W. Warrington Smyth, mineral geologist attached to the geological sur vey of the kingdom, the commissioners appointed by the Government for this occasion, arrived here in the early part of the present week, and yesterday descended and examined the mines, accompanied by Mr. Nicholas Wood, of - Newcastle, colliery viewer to Lord Ravens worth and others ; Mr. B. Biram, coal steward to Earl Fitzwilliam ; and Mr. Goodison, of Lofthouse, near Leeds, coal-viewer ; gentlemen who had been selected on account of their eminent scientific and practical attain ments. Joseph Thompson, the underground steward of the Darley Main Colliery, was the first witness examined. As usual,-ire examined every part of the pit where the men had to work ,before they went down in the morning. All was quite right. Came up about eight, and de scended again before ten, and visited all the workings with a naked candle. Was walking along the first dip board when the explosion took place. Had not observed any change in the state of the air. Fell down insensible while making for the bottom of the shaft. Could not say where the explosion took place, but believed it fired at the top end of the far dip-board, near the throw. The men were working there with naked candles.:. In some parts the men. had lamps. Did not know what had caused the explosion. The owner of the pit found safety lamps when they were needed, but the men did not like -to work with: the lamps; and- they used to take-the tops off whete.the,y iised them. None of the men complainectof foul.air before the neeident.,, Witness believed, the pit quite safe. The colliers prefer candles to lamps, because they give a better light. James Dunk—Was in the pit at the time of the ex plosion, working in the first dip board gate with a naked candle. Never suspected any defective ventilation. Did not blame any one for what had occurred. Thomas Beevers, another collier, confirmed the last witness, without giving any further information. The CORONER, for the information of those persons who were not present at the previous stage of the in quiry, read over all the evidence taken prior to this day. He then asked the jury whether they thought it neces sary to hear any of the other colliers; they deemed it preferable to proceed to the scientific evidence. After James Hammond, the witness who was examined at the last sitting of the jury, and who attributed blame to Thompson, the underground steward, had been recalled, and asked if he had any addition or alteration to make in his evidence, who replied in the negative. Mr. Nicholas Wood was examined. He stated—l have inspected the Darley Main Colliery with reference to the recent lamentable accident, along with Mr. Biram, col liery agent to Earl Fitzwilliam, Mr. Goodison, of Loft house, agent to M essrs . Ch ar l eswort h, and Mr. J. T. Woodhouse, of Overseat, in the county of Leicester, colliery-viewer, and also in company with Mr. W. W. Smyth, of London, and Mr. Tremenheere ' the commis sioner appoi n t e d un d er L or d Ashley's Act. We in spected the mine yesterday (Wednesday). I propose, first, to point out on the map the part of the pit where I think the explosion began, and then endeavour to ex plain the cause. The downcast pit is 130 yards deep.— Mr. Wood proceeded to describe the course of the air from the downcast board through the various workings. At the extreme dip-board the air was divided into two currents, one proceeding up the bank on the first dip-board, and the other along the face of the bank of the second dip-boarding adjoining the slip. The currents meet at the extreme point of the north level. The air is there again split, one portion up the sixth board and the other up the banks and the old workings next the slip. The two currents then join, and pass across the bank of the sixth board, and then at the back of the fifth and fourth boards. The air again divides, and one portion goes along the three old bank faces to the engine -board, and then direct to the furnace and the upcast shaft. The other portion proceeds to the northern extremity of the old working, on to the upcast shaft. The air has to travel about three miles in the working. After a minute inspection of the workings of the mine with the gentlemen before named, I am of opinion that the inflammable air exploded in two places. The first and principal explosion was be tween the first and third slit of the bank, next the throw in the second dip-board; and the other explosion was in the banks on the south level. I think the cause o the first explosion was a slight accumulation of inflam mable air in the old breaks adjoining the slips in the banks of the second dip-board. The cause of the second Explosion was a slight accumulation of inflammable air in the second arid third bank on the south level, which I think had been brought in contact with the naked candles of the men working on those banks, and was caused by the concussion of the first explosion. The CORONER—How do you account for the accident? Witness—l think there is a very trifling production of gas in the seam of the coal, and that generally the banks will be pretty free from the accumulation of gas, and that the quantity of air passing through the pit was sufficient to carry it off without danger. In this in stance there seems to have been two or three reasons for the accumulation of gas. In the first place, the very strong wind, indicating a fall of the barometer, which induces an escape of gas, if there is any in the mine. This gas would accumulate in those parts of the breaks where no air passes to carry it off ; and the immediate effect of the wind would also be in some degree to dimi nish the current of air by its action on the up-cast shaft. Thus there would be an increased production of gas, with a diminished current of air to carry it off. I should state also that the practice has been to draw water by tubs up the up• cast shaft, and the presenco of this tub diminishes the efficiency of the shaft.

B.—LAUNCH or THE MAIN STEAMER.—The Elfin steam-vessel,•latnched from her Majesty's dockyard this day, is-from the design of 0. W. Lang,_Esq., the assistant 111.1Aert shiPwright_at Wool wich. She has been built on the diagonal principle— three thicknesses of mahogany,lwo of iths diagonally, and one of 34 inch fore and aft, worked up very . tair and smooth, mu c h more so than in iron boats. Her . figure head is surmounted by a nymph standing on a water lily, having watcr-lilies and scroll work for trail boards; the after end is also ornamented with•a re presentation of a child iu a shell, and scroll work round the quarters. She has a far more spacious deck than her appearance would indicate, gradually diminishing to the hold, so as to enable her to glide over the sea with the least effect from the undulation 'of the waves, thereby moving with as little loss of speed as possible. Her windlass and steering apparatus are far superiors to any thing ever before made in this yard, being eflifoiliegany mounted with brass, brass tiller and blockla;.-the being galvanized to prevent any.attraction of the com pass. A Downton's patent pump has been fitted in mid ship, for the various. purposes of clearing thafOre, main, and after holds, washing decks, _wetting sailii;ei..eitin guishing fire, and also to pump fresh waterr from the lanks—which; considering its-zaanifordlipplii=ll4laben pies but a small space, whilst its deck fitments form a very neat appendage. Her general equipment is of the same character; there are comfortable deck-quarters for the commander and officers; the fore cabin is fitted with equal regard to comfort and convenience; the engine-room, 22 feet _ .long, occupies Abe most roomy part of the vessel; but ample , acnkiransa dation is still left for the saloon,- ladiea'-e-cabini &c., the former 'fitted with bird's eye maple . panne - la end _mahogany stiles and rails, Frenchpolished r aiid furnished with sofas; the latter hsving:eouches, which may be con verted into beds; the whole being well lighted and ven tilated. She is already coppered, and will proceed at once to the Thames to take in her engines (about 22 tons weight) from Sir J. Rennie's, Blackfriars Bridge, under the superintendence of Mr. Humphries.

As a practical appliance (without risking a man over the stern) when the usual inboard steering apparatus meets with accident, this fitment recommends itself; and, if adopted as an established part of every ship's_ equipment, will avert the delay of preparing a substitute from chance materials on board, in the hour of need, which is not the hour for contriving, but rather for ap plying at once what has been prepared as a stand-by • Happily, the calamity of a ship on fire rarely occurs, but when it does, its appalling threatenings to those on board are most dismaying if the helmsmen are, at the outburst of flames and smoke, driven from their station!. The ship then becomes ungovernable, though perhaps possessing propelling power by canvas or steam that would, if she could be steered, enable her to close with succouring vessels, or the nearest land, The other exi gencies, however, for which the jury tiller is adapted , are of such frequent occurrence, and so sadly hamper a ship,- if not actually risking her safety, whether in broad or narrow waters, as to crave a forthwith remedy—and here it is at a coat not exceeding 201. for the largest ship!' The Herald, 26, Captain Kellet, C. 8., in the Pacific, having tailed to communicate with the Plover, Com mander Moore, we understand that it is the intention of the Admiralty to order the Herald to Behring's Straits, in May next, with dispatches._ and __provisions, forthe- Plover. The orders for the Herald will go out with the next mail to Chagres, on the 15th inst., and we doubt not that any friends or relatives of the officers and men belonging to the Plover, who aro desirous of communi cating with that vessel could forward any letters that might be sent to the Admiralty before the 16th. • It is now stated in some papers, under date of Wool wich, that the Conflict, screw-frigate, will be detained, at Sheerness, to have her steam-chest made perfect, - , instead of proceeding to Devonport with the men paid off from the Presid en t. Th e f ac t is, she;,:was Weyer ready to go to Devonport, but, as we stated, she was, and, is, in the hands of the contractors, having her machinery . , adjusted. _. . The Niger, screw•sloop, at Woolwich, it is said, is having. some alterations made in her valves : we stated so on Tuesday. The work is pretty nearly finished by this time. The Centaur, 5, steam-frigate, Captain Mickle, th% new flag-ship for the coast of Africa, having coaled at Devonport, removed into Barnpool, where her compasses are to be adjusted. PLYMOUTH, FEB. 7.—APPOINTMENT..—James Brown, master of the Agincourt, to the Victoria and Albert . royal yacht, vice Macdonald, to be Master-Attendant at Portsmoufh. Mr. James Harris is appointed acting second master in charge of the Plymouth buoy boat, vice Morris, promoted. The Tortoise lighter, C. Shearman, master, sailed on Saturday for Dartmouth, to render assistance.- in raisin the Mary Ann, sunken schooner. Amongst the various changes which are to take place at this dockyard on the Ist of April next, we hear that - Captain Burgmann, RE., the director of the works, is*, to join his regiment, and is to be succeeded- here by . Captain Williams, from Pembroke. Captain. Burg mann's removal is considered by some practical itien as likely to be a loss to the service, as he is well acquainted with the progress of the works in this yard from their , commencement, and he has evinced in the discharge of his official duties a sound practical knowledge. Mr. Churchward is likely to be superannuated. His 'sue cessor is to have 2001. a year fur the first year, and if approved at the end of that time, to have a salary of 2501. per annum. One of the extra draftsmen at Key ham is to be discharged, as are also four labourers from the dockyard, now employed under the director of works.

MURDER NEAR BRIGHTON. After our report (published yesterday) was dis patched from the inquest room, the following evidence was given:— Mr. Martin, Mr. Griffith's clerk, stated that the two pistols produced, the one found in the road, and the other in deceased's pocket, were borrowed by him in consequence of his receiving the anonymous letter. He was to have accompanied Mr. Griffith on this jour ney, but he said he had a friend staying with him, and he would take him for a ride. The friend, however, did not go. George Siders, groom in the employ of Mr. Man nington, farmer, stated, that his master's house is about 300 yards from the spot where the body was found, across fields. A bout half• past nine he was stand ing at the door of a stable, and heard the report of a gun or pistol. Harriet Crophey, whose husband keeps Dale Gate, about half a mile from the spot, stated that she was standing outside the house at half-past nine o'clock, and heard a " shriek holloa." Richard Pollin, labourer, who lives in a cottage about half a mile off, in another direction, stated that at a quarter past ten he heard a person groan several times. He opened the window and again heard it. There was an interval of about half a minute between each groan. Thu inquest was then adjourned till Monday. sterday morning the authorities at Brighton held a consultation, the result of which is that bills have been published stating that a reward of 2001. will be given for the apprehension and conviction of the murderers. The bills also state that among the money stolen from the deceased was a 5 note of the Brighton Union Bank, numbered 84,712, and dated June 24, 1848. CONFLICT WITH POACLIERS.--SHERIF F SUMMARY COURT.—On Saturday, George Laing and John Laing, West Linton, Peeblesshire, were examined before Sheriff Arkley, on a charge of poaching and assault, committed on a plantation on the estate of Rose bery, parish of Temple. It appeared that on the pre vious evening the prisoners, along with three others, each having a gun in their possession, had trespassed on the plantation with the evident design of poach ing. The gamekeeper on the estate, having heard the report of fire-arms, proceeded to the ground, accompanied by three other individuals. They had not been long there before they met the party of poachers, one of whom (John Laing) within a few yards of them, shot a fine hen ph easan t seate d on an ad joining tree.

SYSTEM or INGROSSING BILLS.—The clerk-assistant of the House of Lords has made the following report to their Lordships of the result of his communication with the authorities of the House of Commons on this sub ject, in obedience to their Lordships' resolution of 4th September last:— " In obedience to the resolution of the House of Lords passed on the 4th September last, I placed myself in communication with the Speaker of the House of Com mons, in reference to the proposition of dispensing with the present system of ingrossing Bills; and I have the honour to report that, with regard to public general Bills there appears to be nothing to prevent the carrying that proposition into effect. It is conceived-1. That in lieu of being ingrossed every Bill should be printed fair immediately after it shall have been passed in the House in which it originated, and that such fair printed Bill should be sent to the other House as the Bill so passed. 2. That on its return to the House in which it originated, without amend ments) or, if amended, after the amendments shall have been settled and agreed to), it shall be fair printed by the Queen's printer, who should furnish a print thereof on specially manufactured paper, to the House of Lords, before the royal assent, and also a duplicate of such fair print. 3. That one of such fair prints of each Bill should be duly authenticated by the proper officers of each House as the Bill to which both Houses have agreed. 4. That the royal assent should be indorsed on such fair print so authenticated, which should be depo sited in the Record Tower, in lieu of the present ingress went. 5. That the copies promulgated in the first in stance by the Queen's printer should be impressions from the same type as the deposited copy. 6. It is suggested that for the present year this arrangement should not apply to private, Bills, including in that term local and personal Bills, which are not in fact printed at present by the Houses of Parliament, but only • by the pro rooters, and which have for the present year, been for the most part already printed in pursuance of the stand ing orders of the House of Commons. 7. That the Queen's printer should print the public general Bills for both Houses, an arrangement productive of economy, convenience, and dispatch, and tending to lessen the chance of errors, and which (it has already , been ascer tained) can be carried into effect with the acquiescence of the present printers for each house. 8. That for facilitating the entering of amendments on Bills made in the House in which such Bills originate, there shall be laid on the table of the House, when the Bill is first printed, a copy, printed on large paper, and only on one side of each sheet, which shall be the House copy, and on which all amendments shall be entered, as far as may be possible. 9. That the Master of the Rolls should, upon being duly authorised in that behalf, receive, in lieu of the - copies of public general Acts as now enrolled, the herein•mentioned duplicate fair print of each public Bill, to be held for the same purposes, and subject to the same conditions for and upon which the enrolled Acts are now held and received by him.

The spacious Free -Trade Hall was crowded in every corner, upwards of 3,000 persons having been present. Mdlle. Lind sang the music allotted to the " widow," ono of the smalle s t parts in the oratorio of Elijah. In the chorusee, the Lancashire chorus-singers even exceeded themselves; and the Misses Williams, Mr.Lockey, and Mr. Machin, received and de served much approbation. Several encores were de manded and granted; and at the conclusion. " God Save the Queen" was sung by the • principals, Jenny Lind taking the lead. _The piece is reproduced to-night _ al Birmingham, and on Tuesday next at Huddersfield . . GUN COTTON AND TOOTIPACRE.--AITIOUg the many curious and interesting applications of science which constantly greet us, the application of the destruc tive gun-cotton to the alleviation of suffering humanity is not the least interesting. Gun-cotton dissolved in ether has for some time been very successfuly employed as an application to incised wounds. When washed over the surface, the ether, rapidly evaporating, leaves be hind a film, which is impervious to air; and thus the wound, protected from atmospheric influences, heals by the first intention. But now we find this curious com pound employed successfully in the cure of the tooth ache. The cavity of the tooth being cleaned out, a little asbestes, saturated with collodion, as his called, to which a little morphia is added, is placed in it. All soon be come solid, and thus an excellent stopping and a powcr- LI anodyne are applied at the same time. GOVERNORS OF COLONIES. From a Parlia tnentary return it appears that there are 45 Governors, Lieutenant-Governors, &e., in the colonies, of which number ten are in the receipt of naval or military pay beyond their salaries. Three governors receive 7,004 a year each, the highest amount paid ; and two,s tire,oot, the lowest sum paid. Two are paid 6,0001. t each ; 5,0001.; two, 4,000/.; four, 3,0001.; and the other smaller sums. Sir W. M. Gomm, the Governor and Comma in-Chief of Port Louis, has a salary of 7,0001., and 1,122/. 18s. 11d. as a colonel in the army. We understand :that the deputation yesterday to the Board of Control on th e q uestion of Indian rail ways met with a favourable reception, and that the im pression conveyed to the parties com posed was, that thd feeling of of whom it was the Government is in favour of such amount of guarantee being afforded as shall be sufficient to indbee the public to subscribe the required capital. It was also fully admitted that the subject is one of such paramount importance as no longer to admit of delay. i //,/,, .7 2 , -tz-// EMMIMPFT the from thout 3,110 sod; with k the , and TOM. nd Is isely, nated )ghsh airier I im- s was ispose n the vance ifling [ bah rmer, mand, eld at 6d to pplies then in the store ey, 55 d per ellow, - ' -..
