NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY. 26, Cornhill, London. Capital £500,060. Empowered by Act of Parliament. This Institution embraces important and substantial ath antages With respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuties. Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage :—p lion for the family of the Assured, and an augmenting pecuniary available resource to himself, if needful, while living. 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 enab'ed the Di rectors a at the Annual Meeting, held on the 10 t h of May, 1848, to declire sixth 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 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 cure 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 of forfeiture 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 his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure trough this Society. .ENEFITS 11.

T o ONE-TREE HILL Hail, charming eminence I I love to mark Thy beautiful ascent in Greenwich Park. When but a child I loved thee, and I still Respect the very name of One-tree Hill. Thy steep acclivity and crowning tree. Wzre ever honoured, ever hailed by me; And many a time I've left the busy town, To try my skill at running up and down. Or stood upon thy lofty brow to mark The happy multitudes in Greenwich Park. Once more, famed hill—once more do we discern, The approaching sign of Easter's glad return. And soon thy park will echo with the hum, Which plainly tells of Easter's season come. Thousands preparing for thy cheering scene, To MOSES' Dress Establishment have been. And had'st thou eyes to see, thou would'st admire The specimens of MOSES' SPRING ATTIRE. Such splendid nipples of artistic skill Were never knor:n before, thou noted hill. MOSES and SON will show you something prime In Easter Dress for Eighteen-Forty-Nine. THE HATS OF ➢LOSES, Which we soon shall mark, Mere, there, and everywhere in Greenwich Park, Are equally deserving of approval, While throngs of buyers aid in their removal. THE BOOTS AND SHOES In every sense are prime, And thousands have been bought for Easter time. Never did feet ascend thy pathway steep With shoes so smart. so durable, so cheap. • THE HOSIERY AND SHAWLS, I would remark, Will beautify thy scene in Greenwich Park. Nor there alone, but all throughout the land, Will proofs be seen how MOSES' dress is planned. Dress such as sever has been matched in skill, Since first the verdant grass dressed One-tree Hill.

Just published, the Supplement to the " Post Office London Directory for 1849," which, in addition to the mere supplemental matter, contains the " Postal " and " Parliamentary Directories exactly as in the complete work. As the Supplement extends to upwards of an hundred closely-printed Imperial Octavo pages, it is sold at nearly the same proportionate price al the " Post Office London Directory" itself, which, as stated in an able Review of the book for the cur cut year, published in the " Times" on the 30th of November last, "is necessarily a bulky volume ; but its bulk, contrary to the general rule, is an advantage, and it may be said to contain no superfluous pages whatever."

And the " Morning Herald" of the 30th of the previous month, likewise re viewing the " Post Office London Directory for 1849," described it as " an authoritative Directory of the capital of Great Britain, laughing rivalry to scorn."

A moderate business was done in wheat at a reduction of fully ld per 701 b. on fine red Baltic wheats, and 2d on inferior descriptions of Mediterranean. Oats and oatmeal moved off slowly at about the prices of this day se'n night. In barley, beans, and peas there was little doing, and we do not alter our quotations.

MR. DUFFY'S CASE. DEPUTATION TO LORD CLARENDON. On Monday afternoon a deputation of gentlemen con nected with the representation of Ireland, and headed by Sir Lucius O'Brien, waited, by appointment, on Lord Clarendon, at the Irish-office, Great Queen-street, West minster, for the pUrpose of presenting to his Excellency, as the representative in Ireland of her Gracious Majesty the Queen, a memorial, signed by twenty-six Members of Parliament, requesting him to consider the case of Charles Gavan Duffy, lately tried for a political offence in Dublin, and to order that all further proceedings against the prisoner might be stayed. Among the members of the deputation were Mr. F. Scully. Mr. W. Fagan, Mr. Devereux, and Mr. Grogan Morgan. Sir Lucius O'BRIEN, having accounted for the com parative small number of members present by the short ness of the notice, to meet his Excellency, proceeded to state the principal points of the memorial. It repre sented that evidence highly favourable to Mr. Duffy's character, public and private, had been given by unim peachable parties at his trial. That he had already suf fere,' a long and close imprisonment, and had conse quently been most seriously injured in health, besides undergoing the entire loss of a considerable property. That even if guilty of the offences imputed to him, ne had been most severely punished. That the publications charged against him were written during a period of great political excitement throughout Europe, which bud now ceased, and that they extended in all over a period of but few weeks. The memorial further stated that it was opposed to a wise and humane administration of the law to institute a second prosecution for the same political offence. From this proposition he altogether dissented; and he also thought it right to observe, that he could not avoid believing Mr. Duffy guilty of the offence laid to his charge. Lord CLARENDON commented in severe language on the terms of the memorial, and designated its presenta tion as an improper, if not an unprecedented, course. He was surprised that twenty-six Members of Parlia ment could be found to sign such a document, especially when there was no doubt of Mr. Duffy's guilt. Several of those whose signatures were appended to that me morial had not many months ago expressed to him their sense of the danger which existed at the period of Mr. Duffy's arrest, and required the protection of the Go vernment against an apprrehended outbreak. Granting the prayer of the memorial would be an extremely bad precedent. and one which he could not sanction. Mr. OTLAHERTY frankly admitted that, had he been of the same opinion with Sir Lucius O'Brien as to the guilt of Mr. Duffy, his signature certainly should not have been attached to the memorial, nor would he have been there to present it to his Excellency. Although he believed Mr. Duffy to have been guilty of great im prudence in his acts and writings, he considered him in 'l u cent of the crime laid to his charge. Mr. Duffy, too, it should be borne in mind, had already suffered much both in health and property ; and in his (Mr. O'Flaher cy's) opinion, the time had arrived when the clemency of the Government might be extended with advantage to the political prisoner. Lord CLARENDON said the deputation appeared alto gether to overlook the material fact that Mr. Daffy had been found guilty. Mr. OTLAHERTY expressed his great surprise at this statement. It was the first time he had heard that Mr. Duffy's guilt was established. Lord CLARENDON observed that Mr. Duffy's guilt was proved by the fact that eleven out of the twelve jurors empanelled to try him were in favour of bringing in a verdict of guilty. Only one juror held out, or Mr. Duffy would have been convicted. Mr. OTLAHERTY repeated that he had not been aware there was any evidence of Mr. Duffy having been found guilty, but his Excellency having stated otherwise, he was bound to believe his assertion. He now, however, wished to remark that the opinion of the eleven men, to whom Lord Clarendon referred, could not be considered as a constitutional verdict of guilty. Lord CLARENDON again commented on the presenta tion of the memorial, declaring it to be an unprece dented proceeding, and calculated to prevent the ends of justice from being satisfied. Mr. OTLAHERTY, while he regretted that his Excel lency should have censured the deputation, would not enter further into the matter than to claim his right, as a Member of Parliament, to place the grievances and the opinions of his constituents before the chief governor of the country. Those opinions were in favour of the course suggested in the memorial. Mr. Sciii.LY adverted to the important and striking fact, that the memorial for Mr. Duffy's pardon had ori ginated with the jury who tried him; and he informed Lord Clarendon that a petition on the same subject,. numerously and respectably signed by the inhabitants of Dublin and other parts of Ireland, was on its way to London, and would be presented to his Excellency in a few days. With regard to the mode in which Mr. Duffy's prosecution was conducted, he believed it to have been unprecedented. Lord CLARENDON—S o was the offence. Mr. SCULLY continued to observe, that the long im prisooment Mr. Duffy had already endured, and his loss of property was a revere punishment. Taking into con sideration the peaceable state of the country, ho thought clemency might now be extended, without danger to the administration of justice.

Mr. Deputy Peacock presided. The minutes of the former Court having been read by the principal clerk, the several inspectors were called in, and orders upon their reports were made. The whole of the works connected with the Commission were re ported as being in a most satisfactory state. Mr. Simon, the officer of health for the City, gave in a most volumi nous report upon the subject of the public health. After some discussion, it was ordered that the report be entered upon the journals. After the transaction of some busi ness of no public importance, the Cann adjourned until Tuesday next. MAJOR• GENERAL SIR DUDLEY ST. LEGER HILL, K.C.B.—The appointment of this fine old officer and supporter of Conservative principles to the colonelcy of the gallant 50th Foot, to which the late lamented Prince Waldemar of Prussia presented a piece of plate a short time since, will be hailed with much gratification. Al though the Gallant Officer's name is comparatively un known, his services have been of a most distinguished character; indeed, no officer of his rank has led more forlorn hopes, or has been engaged in more daring en terprises. He was an old colleague of Sir Harry Smith in the Rifle Brigade. He led the forlorn hope at Monte Video, also at Buenos Ayres, where he was severely wounded, and made prisoner. He was also engaged in the campaigns of 1806 and 1809, and was on one occa sion made prisoner, having been previously wounded. He also took part in the affairs of Corunna, Fuentes d'Onor, and Badajoz, into which town he was one of the first to enter on the memorable night of the attack. At Salamanca he was severely wounded. At Burgos he was taken prisoner, but was subsequently recaptured. Be was also at the taking of San Sebastian, and the invest ment of Bayonne. Sir Dudley is decorated with a cross and one clasp. He will be entitled to the new peninsular medal. Ho is a K.C.8., a Knight of the Tower and Sword, and a Commander of St. Bento d'Avis; and is now in command of a division of the troops in India.

The trials at Bourges concluded on Monday, when the jury brought in a verdict of guilty against BARBES and ALBERT; guilty, with extenua•ing cir- , curnstances, against •BLANQUI, FLOTTE, SORRIER, RASPAIL, and QUENTIN ; and acquitted General COURTAIS, DEGRE, BONNE, THOMAS, VILAN, and LARGER. Those who were acquitted were Mime• diately set at liberty, and those who were convicted were at once brought up for judgment. Bannus and ALBERT were sentenced to transportation for life ; the others were sentenced to be imprisoned, BLANQUI for ten years, SORRIER for. seven years, RASPAIL for six years, and FLOTTE and QUENTIN for five years each. They were all further condemned jointly and seve rally to the costs of the prosecution, and SORRIER, RASPAIL, FLOTTE, and QUENTIN to three months' imprisonment at the expiration of their sentence, in default of payment. A grand scene had taken place in the court during the course of the day's proceedings, BARBES having, in his defence, quoted some passages from the Revue Retrospective which tended to prove that BLANQUI had been a Go vernment spy under the Monarchy, was vehemently abused by BLANQUI and FLOTTE, who were only prevented from attacking him vi et armis by the in terference of the gens d'armes. The Ministry gained a - doubtful victory in the National Assembly on Monday, which was to the full as damaging as a defeat, and which was but a prelude to a severe defeat which they sustained during the course of the sitting of yesterday. On Monday the budget of the Minister of the In terior came on for discussion, when great objections were made to an item of 52,000 f. for retiring pensions granted by M. LEON FAUCHER to eighteen prefects, who had been appointed under the Monarchy, and had retired at the re volution. It was objected that these prefects had no claims to pensions, inasmuch as they had not served thirty years, nor had they attained the age of , 60, whereupon M. LEON FAUCHER attempted to throw the responsibility on the Council of State, which had examined and passed the certificates of these functionaries, which stated that they were suffering from infirmities contracted in the public service. This excuse for a gross job in favour of the retainers of the Orleans faction might perhaps have carried M. LEON FAUCHER through, if not with honour at least in safety, but on referring to the lists of recent nominations it appeared that M. LEON FAR CHER had himself recently appointed three of these very infirm pensioners to higher functions than they had previously held. Like Sharp, in The Lying Valet, 111. LEON FAUCHER, had now no resource left but to abuse and call names, which he did accordingly. M. ODILON BARROT, as in duty bound, and M. DUFAURE, for " auld acquaintance sake," came to his assistance, while M. SENARD and M. JULES PAVER relentlessly exposed this job in favour of the enemies of the Republic. The latter Gentleman proposed the following _order of the day motive : ‘e The Assembly reserving to itself the examination and the modification of the retiring pensions, and blam ing the appointment of functionaries admitted to such pensions on account of infirm health, passes to the order of the day." M. Roux' CABBONEL, a supporter of the Ministry, not venturing to demand an absolute acquittal, propcsed the following order of the day, mote as an amendment by way of letting M. LEON FAUCIIER gently down : " The Assembly not being able to form a judgment on facts with which it is but imperfectly acquainted, refers the question to the examination of the Committee on the Budget, and passes to the order of the day.' The House having divided, there appeared for N. Roux Carbonel's amendment, 363; against it, 350; ma jority in favour of Ministers, 13. As this amendment merely refers the whole ques tion for investigation to the Finance Committee, M. LE.o N Faucuza's position is not much bettered by its adoption. The defeat of yesterday was of even more importance, inasmuch as it amounted to a vote of censure on the Ministry, and of want of confidence in General CHANGARNIER: At the commencement of the discussion the Bth chapter of the budget of the Minister of the Interior, which relates to the expenses of the staff of the National Guard, came on for considera tion, when M. DE LUDRE rose, and declared that the office of Commandant of the National Guard, and that of Commander-in-Chief of the troops of the Line, were incompatible with each other. MM. DEGOUS SEE, FERREE, LEDRU ROLLIN, and „CREMIEUX warmly supported that opinion. M. CREMIEUX then declared that the placing of the two commands in the hands of one General was a formal violation of the Constitution, and moved that the pay of 30,000 francs allowed to General CIIANGARNIER should be suppressed. This motion gave rise to a great tumult in the Assembly, and the Minister of the Interior had great difficulty in obtaining a hearing. He declared that for the last two days the debates in the Assembly were no longer a discussion on the subject under conside ration, but a systematic war against the Govern ment. Ultimately the Assembly proceeded to vote, when the result was—For M. CREMIEUX'S motion, 361 ; against it, 304; majority against Ministers, 67. We congratulate the friends of the Republic on this result; with the advanced guard of the Austrians at the gates of Grenoble—and they are so when they are in possession of Piedmont and the passes:of the Alps—it is not exactly safe to leave the sole command of the garrison of Paris in the hands of an avowed Legiti matist. GIOBERTI arrived in Paris yesterday morning. Sir CHARLES NAPIER left Marseilles on Saturday for Leghorn. BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, APRIL 3. THREE O'CLOCIL—The Bourse 'opened to day NNith every appearance of a further rise, but on it being learnt that the Assembly was continuing tho war against the Ministry, and that the allowances to General Changer nier had, been refuied, there was a sudden reaction. The Five per Cents. fell to 88f. 50c., but ultimately they recovered, and closed at 89f. 50c. ' which is only 250. below the closing prices of yesterday. The Piednion tese Bonds rose 201.

The forces of PucnNER in Transylvania have been reduced from 15,000 to 6,000 men, and the Government can send him no reinforcements.

The Frankfort deputation had not arrived up to that date: During the sitting of the Second Chamber on the 31st ult., in important announcement was made by the Minister. So soon ,as the preliminary business was concluded, Count BRANDENBURG addressed the House nearly thus :—" Resolutions have been recently adopted at Frankfort of such importance as to affect the prospects of Germany, of Prussia, and of the house of Hohenzollern. Although the report given in the offiiiial Gazette is correct, we have as yet received no official tidings of this event. It is scarcely necessary to observe, that the Government will follow the course which it has determined upon and announced, and this with a conviction of meeting with the approbation of both Chambers. So soon as official accounts are received, they shall be communicated to the Chamber." M. Miami then made the following urgent proposition :—" A Com mittee of twenty-one shall be appointed to draw up an address, praying the King to accept the Imperial Crown offered to him at Frankfort." The u rgency of the proposition having only b een su p portedby 111 he the the motion in lieu of 1 20 , as req uired by rules; motion fell, and gave way to the ffiAlovic-ino gmm urgentis sion proposition, moved by VINCIER shall be appointed, charged with drawing up a project of address to the King, expressive of the sentiments and expectations of the House in regard to the recent selection of his Majesty as Chief (Oberhaupt) of Germany." AUSTRIA. The Austrian authorities are at length compelled o acliii6wledge that the Imperialists have . been com pletely beaten in Hungary. The Austrian Lloyds BADEN. The trial of STRUVE and BLIND, the leaders in the republican insurrection in the Grand Duchy of Baden, was brought to a close on the 30th ult., at Friburg. The jury declared the accused not guilty of the counts of high treason, and other grave crimes alleged in the high indictment, but convicted them on the minor counts. The public prosecutor maintained that this conviction established that they had com mitted acts tending to high treason, and he accord ingly demanded that they should be condemned to eight years' imprisonment. Sentence had not been delivered by the Court when the post left. ITALY. The Chamber of Deputies at Turin is, it appears, determined to refuse the armistice, and to continue the war. The correspondent of the Debats, writing from Turin on the 28th ult., says— " The Chambers having decided on rejecting the ar mistice and resuming hostilities, proposed to remove its sittings to Genoa, which, with the ultra-democratic spirit that prevails in that city, may well convert all into a Red Republic. Delegates have been sent into all the provinces to proclaim the country in danger. It is in tended to raise the peasantry, rush upon the enemy, and carry on a war of ambuscade and guerillas, but the people are not inclined to lend themselves to this system. Another deputation has been sent from the Chamber to the new King with expressions of grief at the armistice, and declaring that the National Representatives cannot in any manner accede to it. The King has not yet received it, nor has he named any time for doing so. The Deputies bad even decided upon not accepting the abdication of Charles Albert, because it has been only verbal, and not by any authentic act. In such a case, they maintain that the transmission of the crown must be verified by a notary public, signed by the Ministers, and, above all, by the King abdicating. None of these formalities have been observed." The correspondent of the Patric writing from Turin on the 29th ult., says : " All hope is at an end. The clubs are for war at any price, and they will have it. The King, surrounded by honest, but weak Ministers, not having a single regi ment near him to enforce his will, or even defend his person, must give way. The terms of the armistice are, it is true, harsh and even inhuman; but what can be done with an irritated enemy who has gained a victory at the cost of nearly 6,000 men! How can we arrest the march of an enemy who knows our weakness, and is so well acquainted with the conditio❑ of our army, of which, with the exception of the corps of La Marmora, not more than four regiments have been able to be coll.cted and brought to Turin to form the King's guard? If the Chamber persists, Radetzky will in a few days be at Turin." It is supposed, that as soon as the Piedmontese, troops return to Turin, the KING will dissolve the Chambers. It was rumoured yesterday, on the Paris Bourse, that Genoa had declared itself an Independent Re public. General LAMARMOIA was marching on that city. _ _ The city of Brescia revolted against the Austrians on the 23.1. The Anstrian Governor was made a pri soner by the insurgents, and his Aide-de-camp shot. The Milan diligence and the baggage waggons of the Archduke ALBERT have fallen into the hands of the insurgents. General ParE has taken Padua from the Austrians. It is generally acknowledged that during the recent campaign in Piedmont, the Poles who were in the service of CLIARLES ALBERT behaved well. _ _ The most disgraceful conduct was that of the Italian regiments. The Piedmontese, who fought also for the Italians, could not help crying loudly " A bas les Italiens." At Novara the position was favourable and the dis tribution of the army most admirable, but the Italian regiments were mute. It is reported that the KING fell on his knees before the Italian regiments, entreat ing them to fight, and perceiving at last that all his endeavours were in •ain, he pulled off his epaulettes, threw them down, and renounced Italy. At Novara, also, the KING embraced publicly General CHRZANOWSKI, thanking him for all that he had done, and adding, that the world will know that it was neither his (the KING's) nor the General's fault, that the Italian army had not been victorious. GREECE. Letters from Athens of the 18th ult. announce the resignation of the Minister for Foreign Affairs.

On' Monday evening the premises of Mr. Tilliard. oil and colourman, No. 28, Great Sufi . °lk- street, Borough, were completely destroyed by fire, which broke cut in the cellar, and which in a very short time c. , mmunicated to every part of the building. In addition to the com bustible materials with which the place was stocked. thliTo was in the upper part of the warehouse a large quantity .of gunpowder, which, when reached by the flames, exploded with a tremendous report, carrying the roofinto the air and totally destroying the walls. It was fortunate that the want of a supply of water procrasti nated the operations of the firemen and the engines, for if they had been on the spot which they would probably have occupied, there is every reason to b e li eve t h e l css o f life would have been very great, from the fall of the ruins and the effects of the explosion. As it was, several per sons who ventured too near, in ignorance of the danger they incurred, were more or less injured by the falling fragments of the building. The ionise, s of the upper part of the warehouse had scarcely time to escape, and it was with difficulty that the daughter of Mr. 'I illiard, a boy about nine years, and his sister, about five years old, with the shop-boy, succeeded in getting into the yard; their clothes were on fire, but fortunately, by the exertions of their neighbours, they were dragged out of the pre ' mises, and assisted over a back wall into Revel's-row. A lad in the employ of Mr. Tilliard was injured by an explosion which took place in the shop; his hand was severely cut, and he was removed to Guy's Hospital, where he still remains. Water was eventually obtained, and the engines of the London Brigade and West of England Company succeeded, by nine o'clock, in extin guishing the flames. About an hour previously to this disastrous fire another fire broke out in the factory of Messrs. Ash lieu and Son, 55, Cornwall-road, Lambeth, water proofing hat-maker, by which a consideranle damage was done to the premises, and several of the work people injured; two were so badly burnt that it was necessary to take them to Guy's Hospital. There being a plentiful. supply of water, the firemen succeeded in confining the flames to the proof-maker's shop, which was completely destroyed. • Subjoined is a copy of the official report of the extent of damage done:— " Monday, April 2, 1849, Six P.M. " Called to a fire at Mr. J. Tilleards, oil and colour man, No. 28, Great Suffolk-street, Southwark. Cause of fire, explosion of gunpowder.

This was an action brought in the Bloomsbury Ccunty Court by the plaintiffs against the defendant, who is a chemist, for a penalty of 201, for practising as an apothecary, without having a certificate, and was fixed for trial in the County Court in Berners-street, on Thursday next, but the defendant had obtained n certiorari under the County Court Act, to remove the tiial into the Queen's Bench; and the questiun to-day was whether that certiorari should be quashed. Mr. J. 0. Griffiths appeared as Counsel for the plain tiffs, and Mr. Stone fur the defendant; and after hearing the Learned Gentlemen at some length, The Learned JUDGE made an order that the certiorari should be quashed, unless the defendant found satisfac tory security for the costs within a week. (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) POTTER V. COLLINS AND ANOTIIER.—A REPORTER LIBELLED. This was an application on a summons calling upon the defendants to admit the existence of the indictments, convictions, and sentences of the Chartist leaders, Ernest Jones, Fussell, and the other lour who were tried and convicted at the Central Criminal Court, the said Char tists being severally sentenced to be imprisoned for two years. From the statement of Mr. Phillpotts, who appeared on the part of the plaintiff, who is a short-hand writer and reporter, the plaintiff was called upon by the Go vernment to give evidence against some of the defend ants. After they had been tried and convicted, the de fendants, who are the proprietors of the Hull Advertiser, published a certain false and malicious libel, in which they reflected on the character of the plaintiff, and another reporter. The defendants refusing to retract the said libel, he brought an action, and in the pleading averred that the said Chartists were tried and convicted in due course of.law. Defendants in their re plication denied that the said persons called Chartists were so convicted. Plaintiff, therefore, was compelled, to establish the plea, to obtain attested copies of the several convictions, and to do this the fees for such a transcript would considerably exceed 1001.; and his Lordship, under these circumstances, was called upon to make an order on the defendants to examine and admit the existence of the records. Mr. Justice PerrEsoN observed, as there was no legal existence of the documents in consequence of the conviction and sentence not being recorded in the in dictment, he could make no order, but probably the plaintiff might be assisted by applying to the Govern ment. Mr. PHILLPOTTS said such an application had been made to Sir G. Grey, as the Home Secretary, who re gretted that he had no power to order either the makiag up of the records or of causing them to be produced, A memorial bad also been presented to the Crown on the subject, but without success. Mr Justice PATTESON regretted the peculiar position of the plaintiff, but he had no power to interfere, and the summons must therefore be dismissed. QUARTERLY NAVAL OBITUARY. FLAG OFFICERS.

A SINGULAR DIVORCE CASE.—The jury, in a di vorce case at New Orleans, have rendered a verdict de claring the marriage of Kate Meadows to John Proctor, both belonging to the stage, null and void, on account of a previous marriage , to another woman having been proved. Kate applied for the divorce on the ground that Proctor, at the time that they were married, had agreed merely to pass as her husband, without claiming any of the marital rights of his position, but had since insisted on violating this portion of the contract. Hence she brought the writ to obtain a divorce. THE NEGLECT OF Lira ASSURANCE.—It is a remarkable fact, but one ascertained beyond the s hadow of a doubt—and, indeed, we are disposed to stake our reputation, as the only life assurance organ, on the truth of what we aro going to assert—that not 67 per cent. of the whole population have had the foreutut to perform the most important duty that devolves upon all man—but more especially those " who marry wives " ,namely, assuring their lives. Scarcely two per cent. of the population of the entire kingdom have done so. This ' is the more remarkable and unaccountable, since the "death of every 1,000 persons in the middle and lower ranks of life who have not assured their lives leaves at least 4,000 women and children in poverty, if not in absolute penury, who raight otherwise be left in 8.01- parative alifluense.—Beporter.
