This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages With respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuties. Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage :--provi.

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

By the operation of the same principles, the Society Is enabled to fiord to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta ons 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 opti on , a l arge sum of money , or a p o licy 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 of ferfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of hi, payments will be returned to h!s representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages 'which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. 11.

ROSS and SONS 'having succeeded beyond all calculation in producing perfect Imita tions of nature, have given the name of the Invisible Ventilating Head of Hair to their productions, and are enabled to offer them to both Ladies and Gentlemen, from one guinea and a half upwards. They likewise present an infallible mode of measuring, viz. :—The round of tho head; front ear to ear across the rise of the head ; from forehead to pole ; the measure to - be taken with a piece of tape and a small lock of hair enclosed, which will be closely snatched, both in colour and quality.

The story runs thus:— The Salntship, whose season is now near at hand, Made a. call t'other day at St. Martin's-le , Grand ; And every one knew whom it was, by-the-bye, On account of the wink and the leer of his eye. St. Valentine's dress was remarkably smart, And the buttons that decked it were stamped with a heart. On reaching the principal Post-office pile, St. Valentine entered its doers with a smile,, And thus he inquired as a servant drew near, • "If you please is the Marquis of Clanricarde here 7" "Yes he is," said the page, as he stared very hard, " If so," said St. Valentine, " take him my.card." `The Card and the Clanricarde very soon met, And the Marquis's stare I shall never forget. " You'll conduct him this way," said hit Lordship to John, And back came the man with the livery on. I need not describe how the gentlemen met, You're aware that they both understand etiquette. f. I've called ; my Lord Marquis, and pardon me, pray, Concerning yourself and St. Valentine's day. Such thousands of love-letters then will be written, By ladies and gentlemen all over Britain, That a hundred new hands I am sure will be needed, In order that business may flat be impeded.° your. Lordship must know (said the match-mating one), • That'the increase is owing to MOSES and SON. I need not interm you that love's tender passion Ts often awakened•by matters of fashion ; Many thousands of ladies feel love's warming lire Through ft: et of all noticing STYLISH ATTIRE. Yes, many a lady I've proved has been won By the form-decking raiment of MOSES and SON. For instance, I knew a Miss Dorothy Dote, Who first learned to love on account of a coat ; The lit was so true, and the style was FO smart, That the fair lost her heart through MOSES' famed Mart. I knew a ease even stranger than that, Where Patty tha pretty was won by A HAT. 'Twas MOSES and SON'S, and the Hat was so natty, So stylish and good, that it overcame Patty ; Insomuch as the pretty one oftentimes said That the owner, she knew, had a sensible head. THE BOOTS MADE BY MOSES, Which fit so exact, Like loadstones, are oftentimes known to attract. And many strange things I have known come to pass, With a good-looking boot and a good-looking lass. With regard - to the opposite sex 'tie the Sallie, • Ladies' dress very often enkindles the flame. MOSES' FURS, So attractive in style to beholders, • Warns gentlemen's bosoms as well as fair shoulders. . Many thousands on both sides are constantly smitten, And galores of epistles are now being written." ' " I'm aware," said his Lordship, " that much has been done In matters of love by E. MOSES and SON. And, Sir, I will carry out all that you say, With regard to more hands on St. Valentine's I)ay." Here Saint Valentine bowed, as he bid his adieu, And so did the Postmaster-General, too. A. new work, entitled " The Treasury of Taste:" containing a de tailed list of prices for each department, with full directions for self measurement, nay be had on application, or forwarded post-free.

Diffidence, or a , ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ern sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea A caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un :.orisprosing 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 .lement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuldform an item 'n the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or seglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

We understand that this most estimable lady, with all the fervour of a devoted wife, is at present en gaged in a pious pilgrimage to the ports whence the whale-ships are likely to proceed to Davis's Straits, with a view to plead her anxieties and distresses, and to animate the daring and generous commanders of these ships in her cause. Lady Franklin has already visited Hull, and here we - believe that - her Ladyship has been received with much enthusiasm, and that 'the strongest desire has been manifested by the mas ters and others connected with the whale-ships, not only to carry out any instructions , or wishes that may be conveyed to them from Government, •but are also themselves disposed to undertake certain mea sures in connexion with the usual objects of their voyage, for affording succour or gaining information respecting the missing ships. That this generous spirit will spread, we cannot doubt ; and whether it be at Leith, Kirkcaldy, or Montrose, or the more northern ports of Aberdeen and Peterhead, the appearance of Lady Franklin, and the mention of her most touching cause, cannot fail to excite the same generous ardour, and we may confidently anticipate such practical results as, under Providence, may tend to , dispel the dark cloud that has already nearly weighed her down, and which presses heavily on the mind of every thinking individual in the kingdom. As the whale-ships generally sail towards the close of the present month for their usual fishing-ground in Baffin's Bay, the friends and relations of the parties serving on board the Erebus, Terror, Enterprize, and Investigator, will do well to avail themselves of this opportunity of communicating with them. Letters to go by the whale-ships, on the chance of their being delivered, should be sent to the Admiralty before the 20th inst. ; and as it is the known intention of Sir James Ross to send one of his ships to communicate with the whalers, the chance should not be thrown away. Letters for the Plover should be sent to the Admi ralty on or before the 15th inst., to go by the next packet to Chagres, from whence they will be sent to Panama, and ccnveyed by the Herald to Behring's Straits. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—Monday the 12th was a night of divisions. Conclusions ran so cross, that it was difficult to find two men agreeing as to the reasons for voting in the various permutations and combinations practicable among main questions and their amendments. The Government had a large majority against the grant to Ireland being "vicious in principle;" and a consi derably smaller for the grant itself. Why those who finally voted against the grant, refused to vote it " vicious," it is not easy to collect. • Lord Tugent's promised amendment for the dimi nution of the duration of the Habeas Corpus Sus pension in Ireland, was put off till the third reading on Friday.. The delay may give time for strength to gather about an opportunity of doing good. On Tuo_day a quantity of routine business was got through, in a very thin House. On Lord Ber nard complaining of the influence exercised on voters in the poll-booths by the - Irish priesthood, Mr. , John 'O'Connell proposed that he should join in procuring the protection of the Ballot; which obtained from the Noble Lord no promise of ve-operation. At a quarter to nine the House adjourned. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. London, Feb. 14, 1849. THE ARMY. In consequence of the appointment of Major-Generals Hay and Wood to the vacant regiments, the monies granted to those officers as rewards for distinguished services will revert to the disposal of his Grace the Com mander-in-Chief; and their names will also be removed from the list of general officers in receipt of the Unat tached pay of U. 3s. a day. The retirement of Lieutenant-General Lord Seaton, G.C.11, from the important situation of Lord High Com missioner and Commander of her Majesty's troops in the lonian Islands, is again currently reported; in the event of which, it is supposed Lord Grey will send a civilian out to direct the Government, and that Major-General Conyers, c. 8., will remain as commander of the forces in those islands. General Conyers succeeded his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge as Colonel of the Staff at Corfu, and was permitted to remain in that capacity after his promotion to the rank of Major-General, as was the case with Sit' George Berkeley, K.C.8., who assumed the chief command of the troops upon the arrival of Mr. Stewart Mackenzie as the Lord High Commissioner, in succession to Lieutenant-General Sir Howard Douglas, Bart., G.C.B. WOOLWICH, FEB. 12. ROYAL ARTILLERY.—Captain Cheetham's company, 11th battalion, assembled at ten o'clock to-day on the guard-mounting parade, in heavy marching order, for tlit , Comma n d an t' s i nspect i on. Th e company will em bark at Eoff's-wharf to-morrow for conveyance to the Nine Elms station, and proceed by railway to Ports mouth, to relieve Major Lethbridge's company, sth bat talion, the latter being the seventh on the roster for foreign service. 'three non-commissioned officers and twenty gunners of Captain Bete:ford's company, 10th battalion, arrived at head-quarters at Woolwich, on Saturday, from Dover, to take over the stores, Ike., of Major•Gritfin's company, at present doing field battery duty, Captain Beresford's company being ordered up from Dover to go through a course of field battery exercises. Captain Buchanan's company; 11th battalion, proceeds o❑ Wednesday to Dover, to relieve Captain Beresford's company from that station. Captain Marriott's company, 11th battalion, proceeds from head-quarters at Woolwich to Chatham on Thurs day, to relieve Captain Crawford's company, 10th bat talion, under orders to return to head-quarters to go through a course of field battery exercises. The limited number of men in the Royal Artillery when the 10th battalion was formed rendered it necessary to send com panies to Portsmouth, Dover, and Chatham, before the young men had acquired a full knowledge of the duties of artillery, and the two companies from the latter named stations will have that defect, which can only be done in a perfect manner at Woolwich, made good at head quarters. A statement having appeared in a contemporary that Rear-Admiral Dundas, senior. naval Lord of the Admiralty, and M.P. for Greenwich; is about to relieve Vice. Admiral Sir William Parker, in the command of the Mediterranean squadron, we have * authority to state that the, report is entirely without foundation.— Times. OPEEATIONE OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND.—It appearafrom a paper yesterday issued, that the divi dends, due and not demanded from the directors of the Bank of Eogland amounted to the sum of 876,739 l on the sth of April, 1848; to the sum of 876,7394 on the sth Of July, 1848;, to the sum of 959,0954 on thElOth of (Milker, 1'848; 'and to the sum of 1;0472071. on the sth of January, 1849.

The Sappho, 16, is ordered to be commissioned at Portsmouth, by Lieutenant F. P. Dashwood, for a Commander. The Janus, 2, steam vessel, is commissioned at Woolwich, by Lieutenant 11. A.Powell, late of the Excellent, at Portsmouth. The Blenheim, 56, steam-guardship, is ordered an increase of armament. She carried. 42-pounders onthe main deck formerly. The new armament is to be— Twenty-six 68-pounders of 50 cwt. and 6'ft. 6 in. long each, on the main deck. Twenty-eight 32-pounders of 56 cwt. and 9 ft. 4 in. long each, on the lower deck.. • Two 10-inch guns of 85 cwt. and 4 ft. 6 in. long each, and one 68-pounder 95 cwt. 10 ft. 9 in. long, on the forecastle. Two 10-inch guns 85 cwt. each, and one 68-pounder of 95 cwt., on the quarter deck—Total, 60. With this armament the Blenheim is rendered more powerful, with a lesser weight of six tons on her decks. When the 42-pounders was assigned to her .it was with the understanding that, being employed as acoast guard ship, the ammunition for this description of ordnance would be' always ready at hand; but the Blenheim hav ing turned out so well _as a sea- going ship, she is now classified as a regular service vessel, and has been . sup• plied with the uniform armament generally adopted in the service; supplies of snot; &e., for which are kept on foreign stations. All the ships of the line being con verted into, screw-ships, will have the regular marine armament; and the bastard guns will be appropriated to shore service. We have reason to believe that there is no truth in the report that the Excellent, gunnety-ship at Ports mouth, is to be abolished. The report isr_absurd. The following acting lieutenants, mates, and midship men received their certificates of pa ss i bg finally for the rank of lieutenants to-day:—The Hon. H. A. Moreton, late of the Collingwoed; T. J. Young, of the Excellent; E. H. L. Hay, of the Superb ; F. J. Protheroe, T. D. Williams. H. M. Bingham, B. G. W. Nicolas, J. G. Boileau, M. S. Piele, J. Hanmer, and W. H. Whyte, all of 1848. Wind s W.N.W., light airs, and hazy weather. ANCHORS.—The Admiralty have been specially ap pealed to, and have sanctioned the exchange of the LiewellYn's bower anchors, respectively-16 and 17 cwt., of the Admiralty pattern, for two of 12 cwt. each on Porter's plan. This will afford relief to her bows of a great superincumbent. weight (of serious import when contending or pitching in a heavy head sea), and at the same time she will possess really efficient anchors. APPOINTMENTS. Commander Reyntll C. Mitchell (1843), who paid off the Devastation steani•sloop a few months since from the Cape of Good Hope and the coast of Africa, having joined the vessel from England at great expense, and commanded her only for about twelve months, has been appointed to command the Sappho, 12, at Portsmouth, to be fitted for service on the North American and West Indian station. Commander Arthur Cumming (1846), promoted from the Albion, 90, an officer who obtained his rank of lieu tenant for distinguished service on the coast of Syria, had been appointed to command the Rattler, screw steam-sloop, at Devonport, for service on the coast of Al rioa. Lieut. R. A. Powell (1842), late of the Excellent, and formerly first lieutenant of the Styx steam-sloop, on the coast of Africa, has at length received his commission appointing him to command the Janus steam-gun vessel at Woolwich, for service at Gibraltar. The following appointments have likewise been made to the Sappho:—Lieut. Francis J. Dashwood, just pro moted; Master C. J. Polkinghorne, just promoted, on paying off the Calliope, 26, for New Zealand, an officer upon whom the Admiralty confirmed promotion to mark their appreciation of singular good conduct and ability; Paymaster and Purser, John Barrett, 1848; Clerk, F. G. Bulgin; Midshipmen, James Hardy and R. H. Roe; Master's Assistant, Richard Dawes; Clerk's Assistant, C. A. Plummer; Acting Gunner, Henry Yabsley; Boat swain, George Drake; Acting Carpenter, James Oliver. The following officers have also been appointed to the Rattler:—Lieutenants, P. M`K. Godfrey (1841); Rich. Dawkins (.1848); Master, W, H. Mallard, just promoted; Purser, E. D. Back (1846); Clerk, Robert Collins; Clerk's Assistant, Wm. E. Chown; Gunner, Richard Lonnon; Boatswain, James Stuart; Carpenter, George Tucker; Midshipman, T. M. Kolsall. The following officers have also been appointed to the Janus:—Second Master, J. D. Milne, formerly of the Thunderbolt, steam-sloop; Clerk in Charge, S. W. Sadler; Midshipman, William F. Gregory; Master's Assistant, T. W. F. Paynter; Acting Gunner, Emanuel Piper. WOOLWICH, FEB. 13.—The Rhadamanthus steam- vessel, Master-commander Ayling, was paid off at Wool wich to-day, and is to be re-commissioned immediately, the number of her crew being 60 men. A seaman be longing to this vessel, named Foster, fell overboard from a boat on Saturday, and his body has not been found. The Janus steam-vessel was commissioned to-day by Lieutenant Powell, who has hoisted his pendant. and will command her. She is intended for tug service at Gi braltar, and will have a crew of 55 men instead of 100, the number apportioned to her when she was first constructed. The Alban steam-vessel, Master-Commander Brad , shaw, is to be paid off here on the 16th inst. • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—TITESDAY.

The men were both little ones. After 'a gallant contest of three hours and one minute, the Brummagem lad struck his flag, and Tiney, who is a protege of Jemmy Shaw, of Bunhill-row, was declared the victor. JAS. BAILEY AND CON. PARKER.—These heavy weights, who fought without the preliminary question of going to scale, met yesterday, at Erith. Bailey is well known as a Portsmouth champion, and has been for years past thought " rayther stale." On this occasion he came uut against youth, which will be served, and strength which cannot be denied, except by consummate skill— the result was, that et the end of 91 minutes, wherein 51 rounds had been contested, Bailey was defeated, but not without a gallant struggle. BATHS AND WASIIHOUSES FOR THE LABOURING CLAssEs,—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the sub scribers and committee of the above institution was held in the Board-room in George-street, Euston-square. The report sated that, during 1848, the bathers had been 111,788; washers, dryers, ironers, manglers, &c., 61,690; individuals washed for, 24 6,760; p artieles of clothing washed, 2,220,840; making a total since August, 1846, of 255,057 male, and 26,158 female, and washers, &c., 106,814, making a total of th e l atter, of articles washed, amounting to no fewer than three millions and a half in all branches, which is a vast increase over the previous year.

THE WeaznEn.-I.resterday and Monday mom- Mo. when the sun ' ro se, his red rays were retloetetl so brihiantly from the hoar frost on the grass, - th a t early ri,ers were impressed with the idea that snow had fallen during the night. The pools also were crisped with ice, and soutething like a temporary winter reigned over the land bJore breakfast. Speedily, however, the hoar frost disapp , ared, and the sun, as he sealed the heavens in 'an clouded lustre, was not only seen but felt. on Sund a y, at noon, his rays were incony t e e n n i s e i nt it, ly powerful. Monday also • bristled up into a b frost heat; but yesterday, oven iu the fiercest rays of the sun, the a tmosphere was somewhat chilly throughout the whole day. In this aspect it was slightly all general rule. ' Spring i s un exception to the, questionabyfar advanced for the season.

Deposits of fractional parts of 10s. will not be received. This arrangement for receiv ingdeposits so•much under the usual minimum •has been adopted, it is understood, in consequence of the failure of several of the Irish savings' banks, and the unfavour able opinion entertained of them in consequence, in many parts of Ireland. PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK:-•• Some months ago public attention was drawn to a series of experiments on the floating properties of shredded cork, when used .for the stuffing of seamen's beds, bolsters, and every other kind of squab or cushion in ordinary use on board ship, and applied as a means of preserving life in eases of shipwreck or sudden casualty. It will be recollected these experiments took place in the Serpen tine, in the Thames, both at Chiswick and Blackerall, and subsequently in her Majesty' s d oc k yard at Wool wich, last spring, in the presence of Admiral Sir G. Bremer, and other naval authorities. The succese of the experiment was complete, demonstrating satisfactorily the adaptation of the material, for the first time ex hibited in so useful a form, to the humane purpose of saving life under circumstances where human aid has hitherto been considered unavailing. The extended ap plication of this most important invention has, however, been retarded by practical difficulties of a mechanical nature, which prevented the fibre from being produced in marketable quantities, and in sufficient abundance to meet the orders received by the patentees. It appears, however, that these mechanical difficulties have now been entirely overcome, and that machinery has been con structed so as to manufacture any quantity of the fibre that may be required. The application of the buoyant principle of cork to purposes of saving life in shipwreck is no novelty, but the bulk of the material has hitherto been fatal to the hope of bringing it out for general use. But by converting the cork into fibre stuffing and using it for beds on board ship a ready means is offered to passengers and crew of saving life in sudden emergency. The awful destruction of human life in the Avenger and Ocean Monarch might, no doubt, have been averted, or at least much diminished had these vessels been itted up with this important life-preserving agent. STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER.--The continued upward tendency of the cotton trade is still operating injuriously to commerce in this market. Cotton having risen to a greater extent than manufactured goods, the producer is in a worse condition than he was soma months ago, when rates were considered ruinously low. There was yesterday a good demand, at last week's prices, but few such offers are accepted, and purchasers have had to give an advance for nearly all kinds of goods. Shippers generally are doing as little as possi ble, being quite unable to comply with the present rates. Neither the home nor the foreign houses are doing BO great a business as they were some weeks ago, or as they would do were prices not so high. It is impossible to obtain a remunerative profit so long as the raw ma terial maintains its present rates, except by a conside rable advance in manufactured goods even upon the present advanced rates. . NEW PRINTING TELEGRAPIL.—AVE yesterday had the pleasure of privately inspecting a new printing tele graph, on the hydraulic principle, the invention of Mr. W. H. French, of Cardiff, which, for simplicity tend certainty, is far Superior to any other, either hydr a ulic or electric, that has yet come under our notice. The invention being as yet unpatented, we cannot, of course, go into any description of it; but we may state that, without the use of any arbitrary signs, or the necessity of receiving answers from the various stations as to whether or not a message can be. understood, a com munication can be made, at the will of the operator, to one, two, three, or a dozen stations on the - main - line or branches of a given district of country, which will be legi bly printed on a slip of paper, something like the column of a newspaper, to any length, or a conversation can be carried on on the same paper between two points—the intermediate stations, by a simple contrivance, being thrown out of the line of communication. One advan tage of this system is, that the telegraph becomes the registrar of the communication, and prevents any dispute as to its real import; while another, and, perhaps the most important, is, that should an attendant at any station be absent from his duty he will, should any mes sage be given in the meantime, find it on his return legibly printed in the ordinary character, a bell continu ing to ring from the commencement of the comunication being made until observed by the attendant, and, to use a familiar expression, thrown by him out of gear. IR point of economy this telegraph must, .when tented, excite universal attention, as it can be erected for less than one-fourth the charge of the exposed elec tric wires, and for something like one-tenth the price now charged for laying those wires under the streets; while its station machinery is so simple that any child who can read at all can manage it with the utmost cer tainty; and we believe the day is not far distant when, irrespective of its application on lines of railway for com municating from station to station, from town to town, or one portion of a town to another, most of the large manufacturing and mining establishments in the kingdom will be fitted with these printing telegraphs from one part of their premises to another with which it is neces sary to have frequent communication.—Post. SOUTH DEVON ELECTION.--EXETER, TUESDAY.--. Sir Ralph Lopes, Bart., was this - day elected without . opposition, to serve in Parliament to re p resent t h e southern division of the county of Devon. The Hon. Baronet declared on the hustings that he was.in favour of retrenchment in the public expenditure, as far as it could be carried with safety, and that he would not con sent to any further endowment of the Roman Catholies in Ireland. With regard to free trade he considered it " a visionary scheme," which marks the folly and delu sion of the country. He would not vote for the repeat of the navigation-laws, which he considers " the pali-s dium of our national security, and a tower of strength which no enemy could ever overthrow." The speech of the Hon. Baronet was received with much cheering, and, after a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff, the proceed ings closed. THE INDIAN MAIL.—The Semaphore states that the last English mail which left Marseilles for India contained such a quantity of letters that the additional postage amounted to the enormous sum of 120,000 franca (4,8001.). Previous to th e re d uct i on in the postage of letters the mail for Algiers consisted at most of five bags; since then the number has increased to eleven, and that tor Philippeville from three to eight.
