SIR JOHN FRANKLIN! I very often think Upon The expedition of Sir John ; And oft my heart exclaims slack, I wish friend Frank were safely back. I greatly pity his condition In this protracted expedition. How very cold Sir John must feel, Ills very life-blood must congeal. I really hope that poor Sir John Has one of Moses' Wrappers on, Like what I bought the other day, For very, very little pay. I'll warrant that the wind and snow, However they might fall and blow, Would find a formidable foe In such a famous Paletot, As that obtained, so very low, At Moses' out-and-out Depo.. Sir John with such a coat, I know, Woule. feel his body in a glow ; And I, of course, shall find it so. Much, much to Moses' Mart I owe, And therefore will I often go To purchase at their famed Depot. LIST OF PICES.

The INVESTED CAPITAL now amounts to up yards of 2 070,0001. The ANNUAL REVENUE now amounts to upwards of 300,0001. This OSice is the oldest—has all along been, and still continues the most successfUl in Scotland; the amount of Assurances pas ed dur ing the last twelve years having been upward of Half a Million sterling annually. There can be no doubt the continued prosperity of this Society has been in a great measure, if not entirely, owing to the equity of the principles on which it is founded, and to the manner in which its affairs have been uniformly conducted. The practical operation of these principles may be judged of from the fact, that the Representatives of original Members—that is those Assured from 1815 to 1819—and whose Policies may become claims in 1853, will, after payment of the Premium applicable to that year, receive 2,0621. 14s. 1 id. for every 1,0001., being equal to a Bonus of upwards of One Hundred and Six per cent, on the Sum Assured—or more than dou ble the amount of the original 'ssurance—the prospective Septennial Bonus (and which is provided for) being, in this Instance, at the rate of upwards of Three-and-a-Half per cent. per annum on the original sum Assured.

The question is often debated, Where is the best market to bay the necessaries of life ? among the more important of which may be enumerated tea. coffee, and sugar. There exist different opinions, as is sure to be the case, and ever will be, until people knew how to decide what constitutes cheapness. Tea is an article of such general consumption that its quality and price are very essential considerations. There exists great difficulty in judging its value by appearance, and families, to secure good qualities, are frequently induced to pay extravagant prices. Why should this be? The importations for several years have been re markably large, comprising unusually fine selections ; the markets have ruled low; and the public are fairly entitled to the advantages arising therefrom. Our invariable custom is to accommodate our prices with the mar ket currency. We are enabled at present to sell exceedingly goad Black Tea at 3s. 4d.; very superior at 3e. Bd.; and very full and Rue flavoured at 4s. For the Finest Black Tea imported we are charging only is. per pound, Coffees are also very reasonable, notwithstanding the recent ad vance in prices. We can confidently recommend good Coffee at is. 2d. ; very good at Is. 4d. ; and very choice at Is. ca. ; and is. Sd. per pound for the finest. We invite a comparison of our articles and prices. East India and Carolina Rice, Sago, Arrowroot, Spices, raw and refined Sugars at corresponding ow prices. SIDNEY, WELL., and MANDUELL, 8, Ludgate-hill. APPETITE AND DIGESTION IMPROVED.

The following is a copy of the new warrant of the Hon. Artillery Company received from her Majesty : " VICTORIA REGINA. " Trusty and Well-beloved,--We greet you well. We being well satisfied of the loyalty and good affection of our Artillery Company, and being there fore willing to promote the welfare and preservation of it in its ancient good order and discipline, have thought fit to authorize and empower you frequently to exercise our said company in arms, as well in the ground commonly called the Artillery Ground, near Moorfields, as in other places where they have for merly exercised. " And we do hereby likewise give you full power and authority to hold courts, free and public, for the annual choice of officers, except as hereinafter men tioned, and on such other occasions as may be neces sary and requisite, for the better government of the said company, according to the rules and practice thereof (except in so far as such ancient rules or practice may be inconsistent with this our Royal warrant), in such place and places, and at such time and times as bath been usual: but we reserve to ourselves the appointment, from time to time, of the field officers and the adjutant of our said company, as heretofore. And, as a mark of our Royal favour, and of our interest and concern in the welfare of our said company, we further reserve to our selves the appointment from time to time of all other commissioned officers of our said company. And we hereby declare it to be our Royal will and pleasure, that the appoiqtments of all commissioned officers of our said company (other than field officers and adju tant) shall endure for the period of five years, and no longer ; and that the persons appointed shall be selected by us from the members of our said Artillery Company, provided that, as often as any vacancy or vacancies shall occur amongst the officers so appointed and selected, the same shall be supplied by us in the manner aforesaid. And we do hereby will and direct that the regimental sergeant-major of our said com pany shall be appointed from time to time by the captain-general and colonel of our said company; and that all other non-commissioned officers of our said company shall be appointed from time to time by the lieutenant-colonel, and shall be selected by him from the members of our said company, provided that as often as a vacancy or vacancies shall occur amongst the said non-commissioned officers, the same shall be supplied by the lieutenant-colonel of our said company. " And we likewise recommend unto your care that the commissioned officers of our trained bands of our city. of London may list themselves members of the said society, that so by the frequent pr ac ti ce o f arms , according to their rules, they may b e the b etter qualified to perform their trust in their respective commands ; and for your so doing this shall be your warrant. " And, for your further encouragement, we do think fit to confirm and continue our most dearly beloved Consort, Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emanuel, Duke of Saxony, Prince of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, Knight of our Most Noble Order of the Garter, and Field-Marshal in our army, Captain- General and Colonel of your Company, and shall testify our good will towards you on all occasions proper for us to express it in. " And we do hereby annul our Royal warrant, bearing date the 14th day of September, in the year of our Lord 1843, and all such rules and practice of our said Artillery Company as may be inconsistent with this present warrant; and so we bid you heartily fare well. " Given at our Court at St. James's, this 10th day of October, in the 13th year of our reign. " By her Majesty's command, " G. GREY. " Warrant to the Artillery Company, addressed to our trusty and well-beloved the President, Vice- President, and Treasurer, and Court of Assistants of our Artillery Company of London." STATE OF TRADE.—BIRMINGIIAM, SATURDAY.— The iron trade is decidedly improving : good pigs are becoming scarce, and are held at an advance of 2s. 6d. per ton on low rates. This fact has had its influence on the general trade, and the market for manufactured iron is much firmer. Although the market is in some degree unsettled, there is no disposition to submit to lower rates ; on the contrary, a very general confidence is felt that we shall experience a still further improvement on the turn of the new year. TILE TEMPLE.—A further call to the bar of students of the Hon. Society of the Middle Temple has been made, and they were sworn in this evening (No vember 24) in the Hall :—Mr. George Atty, Mr. Michael Pendergast, Mr. David Bingham Daly, Mr. James John Bate Rowley, Mr. John Marshall, Mr. John Bradshaw Godfrey, Mr. Edward Harper, Mr. Frederick Lawrence, Mr. William Nelson, Mr. James Stewart Thornburne, Mr. John Wesley Nelson, Mr. Isidore Jollivet, Mr. John Gilmour, and Mr. John Day. BURNING OF A LUCIFER FACTORY.—DOVER, SA TURDAY.—At twelve o'clock yesterday forenoon the whole of the military quartered at the Castle and on the heights, with their engines, were called out to a serious fire raging in the town. It broke out on the premises of a lucifer-match manufacturer, the property of Mr. Thomas Smith, situate in Black Horse lane, Charlton, which, on account of the inflammable mate rials they contained, were quickly in flames, causing the utmort alarm to the surrounding inhabitants. The workpeople were absent from the premises, it being dinner hour, and, from the fact of their having left a pot of sulphur on the fire to simmer, it is pretty evident the accident arose from its boiling over. At one time of the conflagration it wan apprehended it would extend to the granaries'iand stores belonging to Mr. lienry Castle ; however, by the successful operations of the engines, and the energies of the townspeople and mili tary, the flames wore confined to the building where they originated, which, it is needless to add, was totally con sumed. Respecting the amount of loss it is difficult to say, The factory was not insured.

The Minx is a vessel of 301 tons, originally built from a design by Captain Sir Wm. Symonds for engines of 100 horse power, ten times the horse power of the disc engine of Bishop's patent tried to-day. A number of shipwrights have commenced laying the blocks under the new slip at the east side of the Dockyard Parade-ground, for supporting the keel of the large steam-ship ordered to be built for a screw propeller, and to carry 80 guns. On trying the woodwork laid alternately with flagstones of the bottom of the slip, it was found, especially in the further part from the river, to be in such a rotten state, that a great number of labourers have been employed to take it up, as it would have been dan gerous to lay down a vessel of the intended magnitude of the Agamemnon upon it, as a large portion of the lumber, on being touched with the hand, crumbled into povvder. It will take a considerable quantity of wood to replace the defective pieces, and it would be advantageous to have it previously prepared with some solution for the preservation of the material, as the alternate wetness and dryness of the upper part of the slip renders the timber particularly liable to rapid decay. SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT THE QUEEN'S PRISON. — An accident of a very serious character took place on Friday at the Queen's Prison, which, from the extent of the injury received, is likely to terminate fatally. It ap pears that a gentleman named John Pollock was engaged with a party of friends playing a game of racket, and . whilst in the act of running after the ball, at a rapidpace, ho fell to the ground with awful violence. Several persons ran to his assistance, and raised him up, when it was discovered that he had sustained a fractur e o f the left leg, and such other injuries, that ho was carried without delay to the surgery, where one of the medical officers of the prison rendered every aid, and subse (Captain Hudson) had the unfor quently the Governor tunate gentleman conveyed in a cab to the accident ward of Guy's Hospital, where he was placed under the care of the house surgeon, where he is going on favour ably, but as yet ho is not out of danger. A NOVEMBER Foc.—London, which has so long been famed for November fogs, has passed through this dreaded month to Saturday without any serious appear ance of this misty visitant. At eight o'clock, however, this morning, the unwelcome intruder spread its vast murky veil over the metropolis; al.d for about an hour the atmosphere became dark as midnight, to the great annoyance of all persons, whether engaged in business or discharging the duties of domestic life. Happily by nine o'clock the dingy curtain disappeared, and glorious daylight once again resumed its sway. Yesterday also a dense fog enveloped the metropolis itud the suburbs up to noon, when it became clear. 'TIEPNE SS. .?s: Courier.) . uiet of t night wasbroken by the occurrence of usual one q of the ost destructive fires that has happened in this town r many years. The premises destroyed are the main buildings of the Glenalbyn Distillery, the pro perty of Mr. Sutherland, late Provost, with all the large, costly , and nearly ne w mac hi nery, fermenting tuns, stills, Sec., used in carrying on the extensive work. Last night the premises were examined at ten o'clock by Mr. Cogan, officer of Inland Revenue, who locked the malt-mill, in which the fire is believed to have originated. By eleven o'clock all the business of the distillery was over, four hundred gallons of spirits being then in the receiver, and in the malt-mill three hundred quarters of newly ground grain. The malt-mill occupied a portion of the second floor of the western wing of the main building, and beneath was the boi'er. The house was four stories in height, roofed with felt, and the top flat was the part known as the coolers. Two men remained in the lower part of the premises as watchmen and to keep up the fires. The first indication of the fire wrs a crackling sound, whith drew the attention of a watchman. The watchman went to see what was the matter, and discovered flames coming apparently from the malt-mill. This was at half-past ta o o'clock, and almost at the same moment the lowing of up wards of sixty valuable cattle, belonging to Mr. Sutherland, in the cattle. houses around the distillery, drew the attention of the dairymaids, who, seeing the flames, turned the cattle out into the parks. Before an alarm could be given by those on the spot, the fire had assumed such an aspect that it was observed by various policemen in town, who gave information at the police-office. It was then about three o'clock, and the sparks and fragments of blazing wood shot out through the windows were falling thickly over the houses at the bridge and the ships in the basin. At half past three the spirits in the receiver and the low wines caught fire, and burst out through the roof in one immense sheet of flame, that rose higher than the chimney-stalk, blazed out through all the windows, and threw an unearthly glare upon objects at the distance of at least a mile. The scene at this moment was really" awful. The whole four floors within the walls had fallen. Whisky, malt, machinery, the roof and floors, fed the powerful flames that belched from every door and window, and roared high over the blackened walls; whilst scores of alarmed cattle bellowed from the fields around, and people were running in all directions to lend their aid, or —as too many did—to look at the unwonted spectacle. The counting-room and the cellars, with the kiln, form three parts of a square behind the main building, and attached to it. The books had been early removed to a place of safety, and the casks of whisky in the cellars were rolled to a safe distance. At ten minutes past four the fire brigade arrived, under Super intendent Anderson, with the engines, having been detained for some minutes on the road by an acci dent to one of the wheels. But the fire had attained too great a hold—all that could be done was to play upon the wall next the kiln to cool it, `And thus save the western range of buildings. Tbis was done by the large engine, whilst a powerful small engine was taken round to the court-yard, and played upon the rafters, beams, and the fiery mass. Though the su ppl y o f water to the small engine was deficient, from the length it had to be car ried (sour ale was pumped for some time), it did con siderable service, and by half past seven o'clock all danger was over, although occasional outbursts of fire took place, and clouds of smoke issued from the build ing tor some time afterwards. Of the main building, with all its large and extensive machinery (which could distil 800 bushels of malt per week) nothing was left but the ruined walls. The loss sustained in buildings and machinery cannot be estimated at less than 4,0001. or 5,0001. Fortunately they were insured at their value, wholly, or for the most part, with the Ca l edonian Insurance Company. We may add that the fire is supposed to have originated from the friction of the machinery in the malt-mill. No other cause can at present be assigned for the calamity. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

Co. /lA./SION ON THE DUNDEE AND PEIITII RAIL WAY.—DUNDEE, FRIDAY NIGHT. --A shockin g acci dent occur re d on t hi s line of railway, ou Thursday evening, at Myl ue fi e ld Q uarry Junction, which, we re gret to say, was accompanied with fatal consequences. The particulars, as furnished by the efficial, •are as fol lows :—At 6.40 P.m . a goods' train took its departure from the Union -street station, and on its arrival at the Quarry Junction it was signalled by the foreman to stop, to take up four loaded waggons that were in a siding. It was stopped, and as the down passage -train from Perth was almost due, i; was di scusse d whether they should wait or proceed to put on the loaded wag gons. They unfortunately thought there was time, and sent off one , of the men with a signal lamp, so as to stop the train should it come up. It appears that the company's regulations require that a person with a signal lamp should proceed 600 yards from the offset, but before the person who was dispatched could have got half that dis tance, one of the waggons had been got off the siding on to the down line on its way to the up line, when the passenger-train was heard approaching at a fast speed. The men pushed the waggon back again, but were able only to get it half on to the siding, when the engine of the passenger. train dashed into it with fearful force. The waggon was shivered to atoms, and the massive stores were, with the fragments of the carriage, hurled a considerable di,tAnce, some up the line, and the re mainder into the quarry. Melancholy to observe, the signal man, Craig, who was also foreman to the quarry, was killed on the spni; his body was found on the line dreadfully mutilated. Tho guard of the goods' train, Charles Balfoar, was discovered lying at the bottom of the quarry, where he had been thrown by the force of the collision. Some of the stores were lying on him, as also one of the heavy wheels of the waggon. His leg was found broken, and he was very much injured about different parts of the body ; ho was immediately placed oa an engine and brought on to Dundee Infirmary, where he lies in a hopeless condition. The passengers in the down train felt the shock, but fortunutely, none of them sustained injury. BRUTAL MURDER OF A CHILD.—BATH, SATUR" DAY.—The coroner (Mr. A. 11. English) has been en gaged during two days at the Horse and Jockey, Bean street, investigating the circumstances attending the death of a female child, the illegitimate offspring of a young woman named Elizabeth Hillier, residing at No. 3, St. James's-court. The evidence proved that prior to the female's confinement she admitted to a woman named Harvey, who lodged in the same house, that she was enceinte, which induced her to give her some linen to make clothing for the child. She, however, never finished the things, alleging as an excuse f or not d o i ng so " that the child would not live long." A day cr two since the female gave birth to the deceased, which was found tied up in a bundle in her box quite dead, and the lower jaw broken and pressed back about an inch, clearly indicating that great violence had been used by the unnatural parent to deprive the . child of life. Information having been given to the police, medical aid was procured, when Hil lier said, " What the devil did you make such an oration about? Do you want to hang me?" The medical evi dence proved that the jaw had been broken through some one having passed the hand from above downwards, and had been occasioned from compressure. The in juries were the cause of death. The witness Harvey said that Hillier had said to her on one occasion, " Why, yuu could do away with the child," which, of course, she refused to do. The jury, after consulting, re turned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Elizabeth Hillier, who was forthwith committed on the coroner's warrant to take her trial at the next assizes.
