The POLICIES arc INDEFEASIBLE, and INDISPUTABLE, the Company being prohibited, by the i-ith clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis puting a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle m^rtality - , and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. RALF PRE %HUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the Premiums. with interest of the retained halves, 13 required to be p lid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to fcrm a deductioa from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished 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 sacrifi.ie. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security 01 a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER mil IP POLICIES are granted,whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in ',Wed. OR the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their 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 equator. 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 the assured life.

T Dail, ancient Chest I never Icok at thee, But various musings occupy my noddle ; For thy respected form was known to me, Before my infant pegs had learned to toddle. Biv daddy owned thee, and I think, the ra!her, Thou once belongedst to my father's father. Think not, old chest, that thou shalt e'er be sold, Or chopped and changed away in foolish barter ; To part with. furniture so good--so old, Would make me sorry both before and arter ; Long in the family had thou been of value, And never h tst thou once changed hands, nor shall you. When but a little fellow, newly breeched, I owned a part of thee to hold my raiment ; Dress badly cut, and very badly s itched, And badly purchased for a heavy payment. Oh, when I think upon the times departed, How glad I feel that Moses ever started. What different garments dost thou now contain? Thy drawers are now enriched by Messrs. Moses, Who prove that competition Is in vain, In spite of what it vauntingly proposes. All thou container t—Trowsers, Coats, etcetera, Proves Moses' clothing infinitely bettexer. LIST OF PRICES.

An opera, by Flotow, the composer of Stradella, was produced here by the German company last night with the most complete success. It is entitled Martha, or the Market of Richmond. Of the plot it is unne cessary to speak, inasmuch as it is literally the same as that of Balfe's opera, the Maid of Honour, which was so successful on its first production at Drury lane Theatre, under Jullien's management. The same plot also formed the subject of a ballet, lien rietta, or the Statute Fair, at the same theatre, in which Clara Webster, the danseuse who was unfor tunately burnt to death while performing there, made a very favourable impression on the public. Although the plot has thus become familiar, the music of the German composer has a freshness and vivacity which, after the weak specimen of his powers in Stradella, was as unexpected as it was gratifying. He has been fortunate, also, in having his music interpreted by artists who entered thoroughly into the spirit of the opera, and made it the most pleasing of any which has been performed during the present visit of the German company. Great atten tion has also been b es t o wed on the production of Martha, the scenery, dresses, and accessories being complete even fo the introduction of the horses on which Plunkett (Herr Karl Formes) and Lyonel (Herr Bahrdt) ride to the fair. To this attention to the minor accessories of the opera, as well as to the excellent singing of the principal characters, the great SUCCeSS of last evening must be attributed. The part of the Maid of Honour was taken by Mdlle Romani, who acted and sung with grea t energy and gained considerable and well-deserved applause. A well known melody, " The last Rose of Summer," has been introduced into the opera by Flotow, and Mdlle. Romani sang the air with so much feeling as to com mand an unanimous encore. Madame Marlow, who was the waiting maid, entered thoroughly into the spirit of the character. Her vivacity and archness, and the easy style in which she executed some difficult pas sages in the music of her part, appeared to be thoroughly appreciated by the audience, and she was greatly applauded. Herr Karl Formes was the Farmer Plunkett, and his rich bass voice could hardly be heard to more advantage than in the drinking song, " Laszt mich Euch fragen," &c., in the opening scene of the third act—an air in praise of " malt and hops," which met with an unanimous encore, and had nearly been demanded again. Herr Bahrdt, as Lyonel (the lover), bad ample opportunities for the display of a very sweet tenor voice, of which he availed him self satisfactorily. He was encored in the Spinning wheel duet with Herr Formes, " Immer munler dreh das Radchen," in the second act, where they instruct the Maid of Honour and her attendant how to perform the duties of the farm-house. All the concerted pieces were given with great effect, and the chorus, as usual, distinguished themselves by the energy and exactness with which they executed the music—being encored in the " Madchen bray and trtu," &c., in the first act, and greatly applauded throughout. We ought not to omit in our notice the quaint and effective manner in which Herr Kuchler performed the minor part of Lord Tristan. Without overacting the part of the fop, he made it very amusing. The opera is likely to prove the most attractive of the,series. MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED). FRASER. Fraser opens this month with No. I. of a series of papers on railways, in which the history of the pro gress of railways in England is to he given up to the present time. The present paper gives us the history of railway legislation up to the mid Ile of the year 1845, and at a time when shareholders are grumbling at decreased dividends, and the public are grumbling at increased fares, and immaculate Peers are holding up their hands in pious horror at the iniquities of railway jobb:as, it is well to look back to this history of the past, in order to ascertain to whose abuse of trust it is owing that dividends are diminished and fares increased, and we hive no hesitation in saying it is principally owing to the conduct of the members of the Legislature themselves, who abusing the legislative power with which they were entrusted, sacrificed the public good to their own private and pecuniary advantage, and extorted large sums of money from the various companies as hush money, to prevent opposition. Fraser gives many instances of these corrupt practices on the part of Noble Lords and Hon. Members. We quote one which is so flagrant that as e thinit the House of Lords ought, if it has any regard for its own character, to at once institute an inquiry into the circumstances of the case ; and if the charge shall not be disproved they ought then to mark, in some especial manner, their sense of the conduct of a Peer who uses his legislative powers, not for the purpose of maintaining and pro • meting the national interests, but to serve his per sonal pecuniary ends. " When the first Bill to make a railway from London to Birmingham was brought into Parliament, a great majority of the public looked upon the whole scheme with doubt and aversion. The plan was new—that was enough to excite opposition in many men. It was not only new, but extraordinary, wonderful. The rate of speed promised was terrific, and, consequently, not a little of contempt and fear entered into tho opposition raised. But there were interests opposed which induced some persons to watch these proceedings, certainly with emotions of fear—of fear, not lest the plan should fail, but lest it should succeed. Among these were the great canal proprietors, and of these proprietors the richest and most powerful was a member of the House of Lords. The first Bill was thrown out in the Lords. The sum spent in this first unsuccessful attempt was enormous, and the public are daily paying for that loss in the shape of increased fares, and the shareholders in the shape of decreased dividends. The next year another another Bill was proposed. The opposition in the Lords had been conciliated. What does ' concili ated' mean? Bought of This was not the case of a man whose land was injured directly by the passage of the railway through it; it was that of a rival, whose less efficient means of carriage were supposed likely at once to be superseded by a more efficient and rapid mode of conveyance. This was, therefore, no case for compensation. Every high road had precisely the same claim as the noble proprietor's canals, but no one pro poses to compensate the proprietors of the highway trusts. Their property has been destroyed in many cases, by the new mode of travelling, and the public has never dreamed of paying for that loss. Every improvement is attended with the same evil, and every proprietor of a machine, superseded by one more useful and effective, has just as equitable a claim for compensation as the noble proprietor of canals which were about to be injured by the introduction of railways. But the possessors of these machines are not Peers of Parliament—they have no means of harassing and op posing the inventors of the superior instruments which work them mischief, and they cannot, therefore, com wand the compensation which a Noble Lord, in the case before us, complacently put into his rocket. "The evil here was notconfined to the payment of th's one sum. It was extended in various ways, and infec ed as with a moral pestilence all classes, who now began to take an interest in this new mode of conveyance. A man of great power, station, and wealth, had set this bad example; and there was no want of fellowers in this course of unjust acquisition. This first case was peculiar, because it was a clear and naked case of buying off opposition. The sum was enormous which was offered and accepted; and the mode of payment at once proved that the Noble Lord's objection to the scheme in the preceding year was not founded on public considera tions, but was wholly the result of his private interests. The Noble Lord received, as the price of his forbear ance, a number of shares in the Birmingham Railway. The shares were given, and the Bill went successfully through the Lords." We alluded in our leading article of Satur day to the admirable paper on the llungarian question, which is to be found in the present nun.- her of Fraser. It is an excellently argued and excellently written paper, and should be atten tively studiel by ad who desire to make themselves acquainted with the subject. "The Unseen Charities of London" is an admirable paper on the less obtru sive charities, such as the "_Nursing Sisters," and "the Refuge for the llouseless Poor," which are such an honour to our metropolis. We are glad to find these charities thus brought proMinently forward into public notice. Ensign Faunce continues his " Peace Ca:npaigns," and as a contrast we have an excellent paper on the war campaigns of the Macedonians and the English in the Punjaub. in the " Current history" of the month, Fraser, in allusion to Mr. Roebuck's speech on Irish affairs, says : "Bat he not the less deserves the thanks of the Eng lish people, who tire willing enough to pinch themselves in order to save their fell9w - -creaturi s from starving, bo have no idea of being tax9i that Irish landlords may re , ceivc their arrears of rent." These are the words of truth and the words of jus tice, and we believe express exactly the feelings of the people of F. riglind on the question of Irish distress, and Irish landlordism.

Reader, remember, this letter was put int the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weckley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Berough, takes this oppor amity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstome, of the lierbary, High :ate for the eilicacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com- Jletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, Ind the whole alter hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than I over was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weckley inserts this testimony to - the virtues of Mr. G. 's :iegenator, feeling assured that many ladles would gladly purchase in Hs. bottle if tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex )erlence, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund nice, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itt far )eyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any tady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Berough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w irops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the eolith, make it strong, and erevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the lair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most deiloate ladies may use this delightful product of the nest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing )doer removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion t) the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the arms n of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an lour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces at& on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre rent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See iansphlet of testimonials. killettcra addressed to William Grimstone.

In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an other ; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling value and universal import as must prove, In the fullest sense of the term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may be effected the following outline of our navel, yet well appreciated business system, will readily show. POSSESSING L RUE ESTABLISHMENTS in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-tentage upon original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain gures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as have been seldom. if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item " Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief price list will testify to some extent : BEADY MADE. s. d.

It is a matter of no small gratification, at this de lightful reason of the year, to know that Vauxhall still survives with all its wonted splendour and at tractions, and bids fair, from the auspicious opening last night, to have a prosperous season, worthy the palmiest days of the royal property. This, perhaps, may be owing to the gardens being placed in the hands of entirely new proprietors, who have gone to great outlay in renovating and improving them, and have shown a degree of zeal and enterprise which can only be adequately met by entire success. One con .iderable improvementis the opening of the Italian \Val, which for several years has been almost en tirely closed, and its continuation round the back of the \Vaterloo Ground, thus giving to the gar dens a more extended app earance, and allowing visitors to have the full scope of the grounds for promenade. The covered avenues have been en tirely re-decorated, presenting, when lighted up, a most brilliant appearance, and the walks which are covered with a soft and agreeable kind of sand, beau tifully laid out with flea ers, statues, lamps, and fountains. The entertainments commenced with a vocal and instrumental concert—consisting of tif[y performers, under the very able direction of Mr. A. Lee, the ceinposer—which gave the most unbounded satisfaction. The National Anthem which first greeted the ears of the company, was given with great force and ability, and produced a most furious ' applause. Mr. Ross, of comic-tragic celebrity, who gave several most exciting and humourous songs and recitations, will, no doubt, be a great acquisition to the G irdens. The entert iiraments in the Rotunda Theatre, with Antlers troupe of French equestrians, were of a mo,t superior description. The drolleries and tricks of Auriol the clown, achieved as they wer e w i t h so mu ch precision and agility, created roars of laughter and applause, and the wonderful and almost supernatural feats of young Hernandez on horseba c k were applauded to the echo. A magnificent representation of the palace and , gardens of Versaille s , w i t h t h e b as in of Neptune and fountains of real water, was g i ven after the scenes in the circle, by means of a new and brilliant spec ies of illumination. The fi rewor k s f o ll o wed, and then came the dancing upon the pl a tf orm in front of the or chestra and in the ball room which, it would appear, was by no means con s id ere d th e least part of the entertainment. There was a novelty in the introduc tion of several Fre nc h v i v i an d eres into the gardens, prettily dressed, wh o , to the astonishment of the company, offered, with a w i nn i ng smile, bouquets and bonbons, arld shunn e d th e id ea o f payment. One we were told, was present a t th e d ea th of the Archbish( p of Paris. The gardens were very much crowded. HERR ERNST'S CONCERT.—This distinguished 00. linist gave a concert last evening at the Hanover square Rooms, which was very fully and fashionably attended. The programme comprised performances by Ernst—a host in himself—Halle, Pischek, Jetty Treffz, Miss Dolby, and Herr Damcke ; and the selection was well calculated to displ a y t h e i r powers, vocal and instru mental. Halle exhibited his great executive powers in Mendlessohn's Concerto in G minor, and was enthusias tally applauded. Pisehek sang Meyerbeer's " Monk" in magnificent styl e , b es id es taking part in a duo from Belisario, with Herr Dameke. Treffz was en cored in one of her charming German songs, and fairly captivated the audien ce by h e r exquisite delivery of the English ballad " Home, sweet home," and she . also sang in a duet with Miss Dolby. The last-mentioned lady sang Holmes's ballad, " Scenes of childhood, and the aria " Ciel pietoso." Ernst was received enthusiastically. Besides the allegro pathctique and the airs Hongrois, which ho has already played here, be gave for the first time in England a composition of his own, entitled a rondo Popageno, not founded, as the name might imply, upon any air in the Zauberjlote, but introducing an effect with the piccolo, similar in character to that which accompanies Papageno's song. This composition, which P as ira w t a a s . is calculated to display the most startling characteristics t o h t u h seira piece,s ical y a a r n e t e a i s v i e a d of Ernst's style, with many of his most bizarre effects, d irs r f e r d om em ß a e n i d li e n d i alsowas enthusiastically on an a The concert went off with great éclat, as indeed was in evitable from the quality of the talent engap d. LONDON SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. Last evening a performance was given by thi s S oc i e ty, t h e p roce eds of which were to be given to Mr. Surman, the conductor, as an acknowledgment of hi s gratuitous ser vices in that capacity. The programme presented no feature of novelty. The first portion of the performance consisted of the first and second pa r t s o f H aydn ' s oratorio The Creation; and it concluded with the second part of The Seasons, by the sam e composer. The so p r ano part was sustained by Miss Catherine Hayes, who sang " With verdure clad" and " On mighty wings" in a sty le to command the most enthusiastic applause. Miss Hayes was equally successful in her portion of the music of The Seasons. The other voca li sts were M r . Phillips, Mr. Benson, Miss A. E. Byers, Mr. Lawler, and Mr. Lockey. CEEMORNE GARDENS.—This place, which is now in the best possible o rder, was last even i ng crow d e d w ith people desirous of witnessing the balloon ascent of Lieu tenant Gale, and of partaking of the other amusements furnished by the proprietor. The ascent took place shortly after seven o clock, the balloon taking a direction towards the north-west, !.nd continuing in sight for a considerable length of time. When at a great height above the earth Lieutenant Gale p er f orme d hi s rea lly terrific feat of di.seeding from the upper car to the lower one by mea ns of a rope ladd( r, discharging fire works and ascending to tho upper car. The groat attraction of the evening was, , liowever, th e representa tion of the siege of mouit:m. the fortress i s erec t e d i n the grounds on a la - go scale—s{ildiers are seen storming the breaches, and c annon andall the att r ib utes o f a siege are depicted with a fidelity which renders the illu sion compkte. Firevvorks and all th e p ro p er appl i ances of such a representation are of course introd uce d. For those who de not delisht in war and martial turmoil there are other ( xhibitions t of endless variety --- d wails, the large:4 horse in the world, acrobat per &steers, theatrical representations, illuminated walks, statues, and tableaux of statues by Mr. 'l'. Th om p son , the original depictor of living classic groups. The band is a very good one. This is one of the best conducted places of public amusement in London. Mr. Lewis, who is well known to the public as a master of the ceremo nies, is engaged, and performs hi s somewhat onerous duties in a very satisfactory manner. Sir Herbert Maddock had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday at the Colonial-vice. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, JUNE 4.

To Professor Hol loway, Sir—About six years ago certain unfavourable symptoms manifested themselves in my left leg, which proved to be scro fula and King's evil, and at one time there were 15 wounds about my ancle. For four months I was in Cheltenham Hos pital, and there pronounced as incureable; from thence I went to King's College Hospital, there also hey failed to effect a cure, and I was obliged to return home a complete cripple; in this state I commenced using your Ointment and Pills which have perfectly cured my leg.

TAIT. Although the " Colonial Question" in regard to Canada is fraught with a peculiar interest; although the " Modern Vassal " is continued ; although the "Legend of Ulster" presents a charm in its very title ; although Donald Campbell is right welcome when he discourses on the subject of "Highland Tradition" —decidedly the most attractive paper in the May number of Tait is the one suggested by the "Retirement of Jenny Lind." In this agreeable chapter the history of the Swedish night ingale is recounted in a very amiable spirit and with a very winning manner. The admirers of the: glorious songstress will learn with pain that there is a report in circulation to the effect that Mademoiselle Jenny Lind was induced to retire In consequence of the alarming state of her health. Upon this point Tait observes that—" She is said to be subject to nervous attacks, which affect the head, and increase in an extraordinary degree the action of the heart. It is added, that a sudden access of this complaint on Tuesday, the 3d of May, determined her to quit the stage immediately ; and on the 10th she suddenly and unexpectedly took her leave of the public." More agreeable to the English people will be the following charming ANECDOTE 05' JENNY LIND. "During her visit to Bath she happened to be walking with a friend, in front of some almshouses, into one of which she entered, and sat down for a moment, osten sibly to rest herself, but in reality to find some excuse for doing an act of charity to the old woman who lived in it, and whom she had seen feeble and tottering at the door. The old woman, like the rest of her neighbours, was full of the Swedish Nightingale, whom she had heard was just then at Bath, entertaining with her voice all those who were so happy and fortunate as to be able to go to the theatre. For myself,' said the old woman, I have lived a long time in the world, and desire nothing before I die but to hear Jenny Lind.' And would it make you hlppy?' inq u i re d h er visitor. y, A that it would,' answered the old w oman; ' but folks such can't go to the play ho use , an d so I s h all never hear h a e s r l ' Don't be so sure of that,' said the g oodnatured Jenny; 'sit down, my fri en d, an d li sten; ' and forthwith she sang , with all her richest and most glorious powers, one of the finest songs she knew. The por old woman was beside herself with delight, when, after concluding her song, her kind visitor obsurreel, Now, you have be erd Jenny bind.' If she had given the woman a hundred pounds she could not have afforded her Ina so much pleasure. It was an act of noble charity of the tenderest am! moat dellcate kind. Monty it woul3 have limn easy for her to give, and money, no doubt, the did give; but to sit down in an aim .houso, and there to call up the enchant ments of her voice, for the amusement of an 4,h:cure and poor old, woman, was a touchin heardroof of Jenny Lind surpasses." The remainder of tile contributions are ably written ; and the one o n the " Emp lo y ment of Emigration" is worthy of an attentive perusal. DOLMAN. In the first contribution, a paper frem the editor of Dolnian, there are several descriptive passages beauti fully and touchin,gly written. 'lle little chapter on "Irish Oratory' is a facetious morcea u . "Th e C a tholic at Sea" is continued ; and, with two other articles, the magazine is completed with usual mis cellaneous iutellipace.

SITAR PE' S LONDON MAGAZINE. However much authors may doubt the avertion, it is far more agreeable to us critics to commend than to censure, hence we have observed with pleasure the gradual improvement of Sharpe's London llfoga zinc, which is now one of the very best of the lighter periodicals. The June number contains a brief de scription of the narrow escape of two Indiamen frum the perils of the Goodwin Sands, illustra 4 e.l by a very be ititiful steel engraving, which represents " the Mistininster and Claudine ashore near Margate;" the old ballad of the " Cruel Sister," with one of Corbould's fanciful illustrations, in which the incon stant Knight appeals like Macheath dividing his at tentions between the rival beauties; a continuation of the very interesting. " History of a Household ;" and the inimitable " Journal of Milton's Wife," as ad mirab!e an imitation in its way as the renowned Diary of Air. Pips. Of a more iristructivr character are " Stray Notes on the British Museum and its Lite rary Curiosities ;" " Science on the Glaciers ;" " The Panorama of Pompeii ;" and some interesting reviews on recently published memoirs and travels, " Prince Rupert," " Adalbert of Prussia," " Central Austra lia," and others. From a very excellent tale, " Ren der to every Man his Due," we extract the following truthful passage : _ " One of the brightest stars in our literary hemis phere has lately given us his view of the ' battle of life.' It is full of those touches which mark the master-hand; but it is not the battle of life, but at best a slight, though spirited, skirmish at the outposts. The real battle of life is fought over the poor man's hearthstone; and the elements of the conflict are found in his struggles to make his slender means supply the necessaries of life to his dependent family—in the self-denial which abridges even some of these, in order that a trifle may be saved to give the minds of his little ones such culture as may bring them up in the fear of God and man—in the pa tience with which he submits to still further privations, as the wants of those cherished ones grow more nume rous, while no exertion that he can make will enlarge his scanty means; but, on the contrary, the sinews that are beginning to feel the approach of age, or, it may be, are enfeebled by sickness, requir e a double effort to perform their usual labour, and hint significantly of the time when its recompense will be diminished—in his strenuous exertions to ward off the approach of that dreaded period which, nevertheless, comes on, slowly but unerringly, like the tide to its mark—in the alter native faintings of spirit and renewals of hope; now giving up all for lost, now taking courage and bracing every energy for the conflict; and often wrestling at once with poverty, with sickness, with bereavement, with the ruin of his best prospects, with the oppressor's wrong and the proud man's contumely, and worso than them all, were their strenghth multiplied tenfold, with the dark temptations to free himself from the crushing hurthen by unhallowed means: to east off his integrity ; to forfeit his good name among men; to avenge himself, no matter at what cost, on that society which seems to have cast him from its bosom as a 'viper, and would, therefore, be but fitly repaid by the viper's sting. It is in these circumstances, and such as these, that man really and truly fights the battle of life: frequently con tending for existence in its most literal sense, and often against fearful odds, till the last and most terrific strug gle of all, even that with death, closes the mighty con test. And if it has been fought in the spirit which be seems a good soldier of the cross, there beams on his dying eyelids a vision of bright winged messengers_sent to greet the faithful warrior with the wreath of triumph and the palm of victory." THE UNITED SERVICE. One of the most interesting articles in this maga zine is a " History of the Canncn," written by the President of the French Republic, while a prisoner at Ham, in 1844. The tale of " Half-pay on the Pave" finishes in a manner likely to suit all lovers of romance. "A Narrative of a Visit to the King of Ashantee," by Captain Wright, "Jetsam and Flot iam, or Gleanings along Shore," in which the wreck and total destruction of a schooner is very graphically described, and various papers of a military or nautical interest are to be found in the June number of this double.natured periodical. THE METROPOLITAN. The Metropolitan opens with a very excellent arti cle entitled " Macaulay the Historian," which is at the same time a just panegyric on the historian of James IL, and a criticism on the critic of the Quarterly. THE SPORTING REVIEW. The Sporting Review for June, which makes its 1 appeara!,ce just after Epsom and just before Ascot, ought to be, without doubt, the most attractive num ber of the year. No auch peculiar attractions are, however, to be met with in the magazine now before us. It contaias the usual quantum of light reading and pleasant information on sporting matters, and nothing more, save one half page on the "State of the Od Is," and a few lines of versification entitled "Epsom Downs," which have nothing to recommend them. The illustrations consist of an engraving of ar. excellent picture of Cooper's " Within Range,' and the "Harrier Kennel." The Sporting Review for July will, perhaps, give us some of the recent " favourite:." THE BELLE ASSEMBLEE. The Belle Assembles for June has a portrait of " Madge Wildfire :" the unnatural brilliance of the poor maniac's eyes is well depicted, but produces a painful effect. Elizabeth Youatt contributes one of her graceful papers, entitled " Reminiscences of Folkstone;" a little incident in these reminiscences elicits from a poor man the sadly truthful exclamation, " It's easy for the rich to bid the poor be thankful." The third number of an interesting and instructive series, " Tales of the Passions and Sentiments," con tains a very mournful story. The two mottoes at the head of this tale—" Talent without patient dili gence and strong concentrative energy for its guides, is but an ignis fiduus to lead men's: brains astray," and those lines of L. E. L.'s— " I dreamed a dream that I had flung a chain Of roses round Love. I awoke and found I had chained Sorrow," foretel the ignoble character of the hero and the un happy history of the heroine. Mrs. Newton Cros land has written some beautiful and complimentary verses to the celebrated American actress, Mrs. Mowatt, which appear in the June number of the Belle Assemblee. MISCELLANEOUS. The Eclectic Review, in an article on " Constitu- tional Fallacies and Unreformed Abuses," argues ably in favour of an extension of the elective suffrage. The People's Journal gives a portrait of Charles Mackay, accompanied by an interesting article, partly a biography and partly a commendatory criti cism of the poet and his poetry, in which it is truth fully said that while other poets have looked for fame rather to the succeeding than to their own generation, Mackay embodies the idea of the present, and in the present finds his reward. The author of " Voices from the Crowd" will always, and deservedly, be a favourite with the crowd, hence his portrait and his history are quite in place in the People's Journal. The twenty-third part of the Land we Live In de picts with pen and pencil, in its usually excellent style, " North Derbyshire and Dove Dale." Charles Knight's interesting studies of Shakspere are con tinued in the fifth number of the National Library, which promises to be a yet more valuable work than the recently finished series of shilling volumes. Apropos of those same shilling volumes, we find we have passed over with unmerited neglect three of the latter numbers, which were devoted to " Paris ; its Historical Build ings, and its Revolutions," a work very appropriate in these times, when Paris is the observed of all ob- servers. The continuation of the Pictorial Hist or y brings us to the " Perpl ex i t i es o f Mi n i sters i n 1824," r y an incident by no means peculiar to that individual year. This number is embellished with a portrait of her Majesty. The various magazines devoted to particular classes preserve their usual characteristics. The Church of England, the Farmers', the Journal of Invention, the Patent Journal, the Colonial Magazine, the Colonial Church Chronicle, the Family Herald, the Follet, &c. &c., each treat very ably of the several objects to which their names refer. Frank Fa me ir leigh continues in month l y numbers, with so admirable illustrations by Cruickshank. The last number of Chambers's Instructive and Entertaining Library gives Redhead's "History of the French Revolution," and the preceding numberA containtd Burton's " Political a nd Social Economy." A C CIDENT ON 111 E RIV:iR LEA.—Twro L IVES L OST. —On Sunday evening an accident occurred On the river Lei, nor Clapton, by which two young men lost their ii vcs , It, vppnars that bix young teen, till of wh , :in are euiployeel at Perry':; Guz lte-utliQc, in the City', engaged a small boat at the Jully Angler's, adjoining th e r i ver Lea, for the purpose of fishing. They had not proceeded far, when by some acc:dent, which is at present uncx pl,tiued, the boat upset, and they were all immersed into the water. Two of them succeeded in clinging to the boat until as3istance was render( d, two were drowned, and the other two swam to the shore. The names of the unfortunate youths who lost their lives are, Benjamin Oliver, of Murray-street, Hoxton, and Charles Sander son, residing in the neighbourhood of Ball's-pond.

T ATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The betting touched upon all the great events at Ascot, and led to several changes. Commencing with the Queen's Vase, we may note considerable improvement in Cuntzou, against whom the highest offer at the c'ose was 5 to 4; 9 to 1 was taken that she wins it and the Empe ror's Plate. Essedarius opened first favourite for the .Ascot Stakes, but subsequently gave precedence to St. Antonio, who was backed freely at 3 to 1; no others were in force. There was not much done on the Triennial Stakes, but the two leading favourites were in steady favour; Nunnykirk, who was not included in our list of arrivals, goes for this race, and was backed for it at 6 and Btol, to about 1001. Van Tromp at one time had the call of Chanticleer for the Emperor's Plate, hut re ceded to 5 to 2, the gray obtaining the premiership; 5 to 1 was taken that he wins it and The Flying Dutchman the St. Leger. Cossack was backed for a good deal of money at 4 to 1, at which the taker wane d to go on. Nothing quotable was done on the Sr. Leger. Some business was done towards the close on the Derby, Wil liam the Conqueror, The Italian, and Moul:au being most in rd quest.

TALLOW .—The market price for new Y.C.. first sort, deliverable in the last three months, is 39s to 39s 3d, and 39s 6d, separate monthly deliveries. The supply from South America is, and will remiin, in much doubt; it is presutre:d that it will be continued, but on a ,mailer scale than for the last twelve months. The same remarks apply to the Australian colonies. The present losses iu shipments tram thoEe parts will doubtless have the usual etiect of checking shipment!. llho bupply of ll! , me 'l' , Clow continues good, but there is no probability of the malt' ~ for the next few months, being so large as of late. TEA.—The market is steady fur black, bu. rather dull fur green.
