The RATES of Premium are lower than those of any other office, Which entitle the assured to participate in the profits, and considerably lower than those of any other Mutual Assurance Society. The WHOLE of the PROFITS are divideffevery fifth year among the Assured, and a Bonus is added, after the payment of the Fifth Annual Premium to every Policy effected on the participating Scale, If a claim accrue thereon prior to the next division of profits. The BONUSES declared at the three form e r divisions (arising froth - three-fonrthi only of the pro its), averaged 16, 31, and 36 per Cent. respectively on the amount of Premiums paid. The BONUS declared in 1449 (arising from the whole of the pro fits), being the result of the'operatiens of the Society during the last fire years upon the Mutual Principle, averaged G2ys per cent. on the Premiums received. AU Assurances effected during the year 1849, on the equal rates of Premium, will be entitled to participate in the profits to be declared he 1854.

ThLi 7 lnstitution embraces important and substantial advantages, With respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuties. Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage :—provi. Mon for the family of the Assured, and an augmenting pecuniary available resource to himself, if needful, while( iving.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta teens than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se eure 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. tares which the Judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. 11.

Yesterday the commissioners assembled at the Guildhall, Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair. A plan for the prevention of the escape of gas from sewers was presented to the Court, but Mr. Hay wooD, the surveyor, stated that he had examined it, and found nothing in it calculated to improve upon the principle already adopted; and the memorial upon the subject was consequently with drawn. A memorial was presented by Mr. BLAKE from the proprietor of the house, 86, Newgate-street, complain ing of an injurious leakage of water, proceeding from looseness of thespavement.—Referred to a committee to be reported upon. The inspectors of the Court handed in their reports, which showed that they had done a vast amount of business since they had last appeared before the Court —a fact which the commissioners took opportunities in the course of the day to acknowledge with much satisfaction ; indeed, one of the commissioners com plained that one of the inspectors had actually ex ceeded his duty, in giving notice to a housekeeper in Farringdon-street to clear away a cesspool and other obnoxious nuisances which were not in existence. The complaint, of course, did not tell, as the majority of the Court were of opinion that the nice power of discrimination which the inspector possessed"' was deserving of encouragement, and not question or censure. Mr. Deputy HARRISON complained of a very great obstruction which was constantly occurring in Ship passage, which leads from Gracechurch street to Leadenhall-market, in consequence of the practice pursued by some tradesmen there, who crowded the narrow thoroughfare with their goods. The obstruc tion was represented as one of very long continuance. Some of the members were of opinion that it was the duty of the Markets Committee to prevent the continuance of the obstruction ; some thought the matter came more properly under the supervision of the police ; while others considered that if the inspec tors would only occasionally look at the place com plained of, and make a report as to its condtiion from time to time, there would be no occasion for the adop tion of compulsory measures. The last suggestion was adopted, and notice was ordered to be served upon the parties in error, should they persevere. Mr. HAYWOOD, the surveyor to the commissioners, reported that there were between 40 and 50 houses, the property of Earl Delawarr, in such a condition as to require the very attentive consideration of the Court. These habitatations were situated in Prim rose-hill, Sugarloaf court, and other localities, of which the public had read a great deal in the various accounts of the most celebrated London stinks, and they possessed in a very strong degree the qualities which tend to the spread and perpetuation of disease. Mr. Bison, the city medical officer of health, said, the places in which his Lordship's houses were re presented as being situate were certainly in the most unhealthy parts of London. The inspector of the district said, the agent and surveyor of his Lordship had been served with first notices.i The COURT then ordered that compulsory notices should be issued to the agent of Lord Delawarr, and if those notices were not attended to duly, proceedings should, with the advice of the solicitors to the com mission, be adopted. Mr. 11. L. TAYLOR said, it appeared from the reports of the inspectors that they had exceedingly heavy and disagreeable duties to perform, and that they performed all those duties highly to their honour, particularly in the localities in which the poor were congregated. VIEW OF THE ALLEGED NUISANCES REPORTED DT THE MEDICAL OFFICER or HEALTH. The CHAIRMAN of the commission requested the attention of the Court to the report of the committee, appointed to take a view of the several localities reported by the medical officer of health as being in a horrible condition. The committee, it would appear, agreed with Mr. Simon that there were in the places objected to many most abominably filthy tene ments, unfit to be dwelt in by human beings, but at the same time they had no power to interfere internally with them. In the opinions entertained of the localities visited, the committee and Mr. Simon were both right, and ,o far as the Court could interfere for the improve ment of their sanitary condition, viz, externally, that itnprovement was rapidly progressing, and a great deal had already been effected. Serious complaints had been made about the supply of water to the inhabitants of the poor. Now, the commissioners had been indefatigable in their exertions to procure an abundance of that article, as well as to advance in the sanitary movement in every other way, but there were e p v e e r s r o y n w t h s in g h o ofw e a r n e u a n d r r e a a s n t o a n g ab ao l n e s te enough n d e n t o o y s o u u p g p h o s t e t t o h h a e t done in one day. Mr. Deputy HARRISON said, it was not ccnsidered that the commissioners had their present powers for more than a few months. Mr. M Tickner, the second clerk of the Court, then read the following report : "TO THE HON. COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. " We, whose names are hereunto set, your Committee upon General Purposes, do certify that, having had our attention called to various statements as to the condition of certain places within the city of London, referred to in the reports of your medical officer, we have deemed it expedient personally to view the following places, al though they have been previously viewedand reported on by your inspectors, and we beg to report thereupon re spectively as follows: " In reference to the gully in George-yard, Bow-lane, adjoining the house situate No. 43 in the said lane, we have directed it should be retrapped, and are of opinion that it does not incommode the public so as to justify its removal from its present site. "In reference to the premises in Fan-court, Miles-lane, we are of opinion that the cisternage in all the houses is very inefficient, and that although the owner appears to have done a good deal in the way of repairing the pre mises under the notices already served upon him by your officers, we recommend that he be called upon imme diately to erect additional capacious cisterns in each of the houses; and further, that adequate dustbins be con structed therein, and that he be required also to have the walls of the staircases and rooms effectually cleansed and whitewashed. " In reference to the house No. 5, Creechurch-lane, we found a fair supply of water; the premises are under repair. We recommend that the owner be called upon to cleanse and limo-whiten the inside of the house, and to repair the roofs and interior of the privies in the back yard. We found several wooden sheds erected against the wall of the church which adjoins the said premises, and which appeared to be used for stabling, and which we consider must cause offensive nuisance, and to which we think the notice of the parish authorities should be called, to have them removed. "We viewed the premises known as the Queen's tread, situate in the said lane, and found them in a very dirty condition. The occupier stated that there was a plentiful supply of water. Wo found the privy broken down and useless, and the smell very offensive. We re commend that the owners be called upon to cleanse and repair the house and the privy immediately. " In reference to the privies situate in Prince's-street, Rosemary-lane, we found them under repair; there are no dustbins, and the occupiers deposit it in the cellars in some instance?. We think the cisterns erected in some of the houses adequate for the wants of the inhabitants, and the owner assured us he is about to erect similar in all the other houses, and to close up the access to the basements, so as to prevent their being used as we have described. We recommend that he be called upon to construct an adequate dustbin in each of the houses aforesaid, and to remove all dust and rubbish from the cellars forthwith. _ _ _ "In reference to the premises in Artillery-lane, we are of opinion that Mr. Clark, the owner of certain pre mises therein, should be called upon effectually to repair the same. " We viewed the premises No. 6, Half-moon-passage, Aldersgate, wheie we consider the supply of water inadequate and the drainage defective. We recommend that the owner be called upon forthwith to construct a cistern of sufficient size, and to have the house drains ex amined and repaired, and a dustbin fixed. "In reference to Sandy's-row we have to report that only one-half of the street is within the City jurisdiction. The street was clean when we saw it, and the inhabitant of whom we inquired had no complaint to make as to the supply of water or otherwise. " We viewed Star•court, Milton-street, and found that the outhouse formerly: used as a slaughterhouse, but which had not been registered, did not appear to us to have been used for such purpose for some time past. We recommend that the owner of this court be called upon to repair the same throughout. "In reference to Moor-square, Cripplegato, in which a sewer is about to be built under the direction of your Honourable Court, we recommend that the owner be re quired to erect an adequate tank on the top of the octa gonal buildings in the centre of the said square, and to communicate the water to the several privies, as well as to drain them into the public sewers. " We have viewed the premises in Doby-court, Monk well•street, in which a sewer is about to be built under the direction of your Honourable Court. We found one cellar foul from leakage of a cesspool in the ad joining premises, and we recommend that the owner be called upon to drain the same into the sewer when com pleted, and fill up the existing cesspool, and to construct a dustbin at No. 4. " In reference to Bird-court, Philip•lane, we recom mend that a sewer be constructed therein, and that the owner be called upon to drain the premises into the sewer, and to construct proper cisterns for the use of the inhabitants. " We have viewed the precinct of St. Bartholomew. We find the houses in Middlesex passage are damp from the want of adequate drainage. We recommend that a sewer be immediately built therein, and the owner he called upon to drain the houses into the same. " We observe that the whole of the precinct is in course of being repaired, and will shortly be completed, and will, so far, very materially improve this place. We observed that many of the houses in the more remote places of this precinct are obviously very old, being entirely or par tially built of wood, and otherwise dilapidated. Taking the circumstances into consideration, we think that this property should be left to the district surveyor to deal with as he may see fit, and that notice be sent to him accordingly. " We have viewed Fox and Snot•court, where we found the one public privy recently rebuilt and water laid on, and that the court is supplied by a common cock. We were informed by the clerk that ho has already, as directed by your Court, served the owner with notice to erect adequate cisterns, and to construct two new privies therein. " In reference to St. John's-court we recommend that the owner be called upon to construct a now dustbin of stone, and that your inspectors be directed to see the orders which have been already given to the owner to construct enlarged cisternage for the use of the inhabi tants promptly carried into effect. " We find the premises No. 4, Smithfield, are in, bankruptcy and unoccupied, and that the parties repre senting the owner have been served with notice to trap and lay on water to the privy, and empty and fill the cesspool; and the time of notice has not yet expired. " In reference to Cox-court, Aldersgate, the inspec tor reports to us that the nuisance therein complained of is abated. " We viewed premises in Hartshorn-court, in which we found the inhabitants are supplied with water by means of a common cock. There is no cistern or tack in the premises, although there is ample room for such. We recommend that the owner be called upon to pro vide adequate cisternage forthwith, and that the pro mises be also supplied with water. " We consider it right to state that in all these places we found the courts aud alleys clean and well paved, ex• cepting in one case, which has only recently come under your charge, and which we directed should be immedi ately cleansed. " We repeat, in closing our report, that we have been induced to view all the above localities, being desirous that we might be able personally to report as to their condition. We have also expressed our opinion as to certain works which we think require to be done in them, but it must not be supposed that these places had been neglected until we went to view them. They had all been viewed by your officers, and in moat of them the owners have executed or are executing works of sanitary improvement under your directions." Some observations were made upon what the mem bers seemed to consider to be a dangerous and dis gusting nuisance, arising from a cavity, over which there is a cellar•flap, in Tower Royal, which flap is not always closed even during the busiest hours of the day. The report, with the exception of the paragraph relating to the nuisance just described, was agreed to ; and notice was ordered to be served upon the proprietor:of the " yawning gulf," as Mr. Deputy Lott called the uncovered chasm. THE CHIEF CLERK OF THE COMMISSION. The CHAIRMAN gave notice of a motion from Mr. Under-Sheriff Millard, that, in consideration of the long and faithful services and the altered and ex tended duties of the principal clerk, the salary of that gentleman should be raised to the sum of 6001. a year. TheofNovembersubject will be considered as, in consequence of heronsidered at the Court on th e 6th Majesty's visit to her faithful citizens on the 30th inst., no Court of Sewers will then be held. Mr. Deputy LOTT said he had read a statement in the public papers to the effect that Mr. Simon had said there was not room for another body in the churchyards of the city of London.—(Laughter.) He wished to know whether such an assertion had been made by that gentleman. Mr. SIMON begged to be excused from being re sponsible for everything that appeared as if it issued from him. A discussion had certainly taken place in the Committee of Health on the subject of the crowded churchyards of the City ; and he had cer tainly expressed the opinion he had long maintained on that subject—namely, that the churchyards of the City, which embraced an area of, he believed, only eight acres and a half, were not fit receptacles for any more bodies. His decided opinion was, that one more burial ought not to take place in the city of London. Mr. Deputy LOTT said the churchyards ought to be examined by Mr. Simon before utterance were given to such an opinion. THE SANITARY PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMISSIONERS OP SEWERS FOR TICS CITY OF LONDON. Mr. Deputy BROWN said he understood the sur veyor was prepared with a report of the whole of the proceedings of the commissioners since the year . lB32, who had been accused by some of having done ac tually nothing ; and he moved that the report be read. The CHAIRMAN said the surveyor had drawn up a detailed report at his suggestion, in answer to the public charge of negligence and incapability. The following report was then read by the clerk : " TO THE HON. COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. " Sewers office, Guildhall, Oct. 23. " Gentlemen,—As very erroneous impresssions appear to exist as to the nature and extent of the works carried out by this Commission since the calamitous year 1832, I beg, at the suggestion of the Chairman of your Hon. Court, to submit to you the following brief and , general outline of your operations since that date;---1 rem the comme ncement of the year 1833 to the termination of the year 1848, being a period of 16 years, the length of public sewers constructed within the city of L . ondon has been 124,272 feet, or 231 miles. In addition to this length of new sewers, several miles of an cient sewers have been repaired and adapted to modern requirements. About 3,770 service or private drains have also been constructed fur the internal drainage of houses and pre mises .:The portion of the Fleet ditch north of Ilolborn, which was the only open ditch which had existed wi!hin your jurisdiction for upwards of a century, was eight years ago covered in. T'ne;e are now no open ditches within the city of London. The whole of the street gullies have been trapped, and improvements have been made and are still making in the construction of the traps. The whole of the publics ways, whether open and frequented courts, have been paved with stone, and, where practicable, with flagstones, and the most impor tant condition of a non-absorbent surface, as well as a surface best adapted for aiding the scavenger in main taining cleanliness hag been obtained. Every court, alley, and public place is lighted with gas lamps—there is no public place without gas lights. All the streets and alleys have been for some years swept daily, and the dustmen aro bound to remove dust as often as required. In all these foregoing particulars the poorest places have been as well attended to and looked after as the important and more visible thoroughfares. During the aforesaid period the opportunities which offered for effecting improvements, by widening the thoroughfare, easing the traffic, and letting in light and air, have not been neglected, and where your funds have proved ade • quate you have at all tim , a c.:-operated with the corro ration committees, the public companies, and other bodies, in the furtherance of such like beneficial objects. Many of your works of drainage have been beneficially felt by districts some miles distant from the city. Twenty-nine outlets have been provided by you for the sewage for the county of Middlesex. The highland of and about Hampstead drains through the Fleet sewer; Holloway and a portion of Islington can now be drained ,by the London-bridge sewer; Nortonfolgate and the densely po• pulated districts adjacent are also relieved by it. In so general a statement I cannot enter into detail as to the various important improvements made in the manage ment and formation of the works committed to your charge; I can but briefly refer to the improved forms of sewers and other detail of construction made by you, the remodelling upon a system the whole of the lines of pave-' meats, the various important experiments of the levels and gradients of Ole streets, the re -arrangement of public lamps, the protection of the public ways from encroach ment, and the gradual extinction of objectionabl e and long existing projections, the erection of public urinals, and various other works which have marked your vigi lance through the whole periods of time alluded to ; and it should be borne in mind that until recently the func tions of your Hon. Court solely relatee to sewers, and the paving and lighting, cleansing and conservation of the public ways—that you had no control over private property, no power to enforce water supply, and no compulsory power of entry for inspection of or remedy of nui sances . Y ou h a d not'even power to compel drainage to be made from those premises where sewers were in the course of formation or already formed. Upon the. commencement of the pre sent year you, for the first time, had pow er t o comman d water supply, to compel drainage of premises, to regu late slaughtering houses, and suppress nuisances, &c. The time consumed at the outset of your new operations by the requisite legal and other preliminary arrangements, and more recently the suspension of all works during the hot weather beyond the a c ti ve suppres sion of nuisances, have left you but a very short time to effect much in the way of works of permanent irn• provement to the poorer dwellings in the City. Short, however, as the time has been, your officers have in (limed into the condition of more than 4,000 o f th e poorest habitations, with the view to the enforcement of drainage, water supply, and cleanlin ess; an d during the se ason of epidemic disease 14,000 houses, out o f 16,000 comprehended in the City, were inspect e d f or t h e dis covery of nuisances. Since the commencement of this year upwards of 1,600 cases of euisance have been abated, 64 courts and places within the City have had sewers constructed beneath them—the aggregate length of sewers, amounting to 10,321 feet, or nearly two miles. About 900 houses have been drained, an d t h e w h o l e o f the slaughtering houses within the City registered, and such regulations as you had the . power of com p e lli ng had been enforced. In submitting to your Honour able Court this brief outline of your operations during the pertol which has relapsed since the y ea r 1832, let me not be misunderstood as intending to imply that nothing more remains to be effected; on the contrary, the more efficient trappings for gullies for the total pre vention of the escape of effluvia from them, in conjunc tion with a perfect system of ventilation to the sewers; the total and uniform diversion from the Thames of the s.,ilage now polluting it, and its ultimate disposal when diverted, and the securing an r.dequate supply of water, are, inter alia, questions of the highest importance, which will for some time to come engross a large share of your attention and consideration. In addition to these, the entire abolition of cesspools, the perfecting the internal drainage of houses, and the removal of nuisances, &c., must continue to demand your utmost care and the most strenuous efforts of your officers. Although much has been done this year for the abatement of nuisances, nuisances still exist, and your officers have unfortunately too much evidence that, owing to the apathy, careless ness, and recklessness of many of the inhabitants of the poorer dwellings, the very conveniences which you have recently caused to be provided for their use have been neglected or abused, and 24 hours have sometimes sufficed to generate nuisances where all was previously clean. Under such circumstances, nuisance is likely to exist until improved habits are induced, and will render the greatest vigilance requisite. It is not, therefore, with any view to the relaxation of your entleavours that I have submitted to you this report, but rather, by cor recting misapprehension, it is my hope you will be en couraged to persevere in what has been, and will be, a laborious, unthankful, yet most important duty. " I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, " W. HAYWOOD, Surveyor." The report was received with much applause, and ordered to be printed and sent to all the members of the Corporation. The CHAIRMAN then called the attention of the commissioners to the following letter from the Com missioner of Police, upon the important subject of the sanitary exertions of the city of London : • " The plan I propose gives the services of 40 intelli gent seen, whose business it will be to report every nuisance or inconvenience which can in any way impair the health or affect the reasonable comforts of the public, to be accomplished by the daily inspection of each and all of the highways and byways of the City—its streets, lanes, alleys, and courts—to the end that no nuisance or danger shall be allowed to continue, and that the advan tages of water and light be uniformly and amply supplied. Further, that the inhabitants of the City, of every con dition, may enjoy the benefit of this system of general protection. I suggest that notices should be periodically left with every dweller, inviting attention to our arrange ments and co-operation in their observance; so that in effect no just cause or complaint should escape detection nor elude redress. I forbear to enlarge upon this subject or its advantages, having upon former o ccas i ons , i n various communications, taken the liberty to enforce it; but there is one point which I consider it important to notice. • It has been, not unfrequently, intimated to me, that the suggestions I now repeat, and venture to re commend, art viewed with apprehension as part of an aggressive system, by which it is proposed to aggran dize the power of the police, and to circumscribe the important functions of your Hon. Board. I need hardly express my conviction that these views can receive no countenance from a body of men with whom the public health is a supreme law, and who must feel it their cheerful duty to secure that great end by every legitimate instrumentality, unbiassed by (von siderations which can only have their origin in the dread of that censure which justly follows neglected duties or palpable incompetence. " For myself I do not discern, and assuredly I do not seek, in the plan proposed any augmentation of power or patronage; already I find the appointment and dis posal of 600 men amongst the least pleasing of my duties, rarely a source of pleasure, a continued cause of anxiety and pain. " But whatever construction may be placed upon this overture of service, I deem it incumbent upon me to make it; because I feel that by the harmonious co-ope ration of the two Commissions of Police and Sewers such great and 'various social advantages may be secured as shall silence the jealousy which the principle of self government provokes, and earn the lasting gratitude of present and coming times. " I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your faithful and obedient servant, _ "D. W. klauvEy." Mr. &Axis, in moving that the letter be entered upon the minutes, intimated that the commissioner showed a great anxiety to appropriate to himself and his police the whole credit of the City sanitary move ment ; so that, according to that gentleman, as well as according to the Committee of Health and others who set up claims, the Commissioners of Sewers would come in for a very small share of commenda tion indeed; although they had originated the board and engaged the police and had done everything else calculated to meet and avert the impending calamity. After making some spirited comments upon the manner in which the commissioners bad been attacked by the press, he suggested a mode by which that powerful organ might, instead of dishonouring itself by statements founded in gross misrepresentation and falsehood, render substantial service to the poor. His suggestion was, that the pens of the editors should be turned to the task of inducing the Government to abolish the assessed taxes. By rendering that ser vice they would contribute, through the blessings of air and light, to do essential good to the whole com munity. Mr. Deputy )3ainan wished that the letter be laid upon the table, 'as containing a mass of misrepresen tations. The letter was finally ordered to be entered upon the minutes, and the Court adjourned.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news_ paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put tat 'he paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoae, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is winch stronger and more luxuriant than lover was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to - the virtues of Mr. G.'s Etegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase en 11 s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume its far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any tady of respectability to the abovefact•.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and orevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the nair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate fidies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the grown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' hea 4 .l, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See lansphiet of testimonials.

TO THE HON. THE COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. " City Polie-office ' Old Jewry, Oct. 22, 1849. " Gentlemen,—The period of three months, for which you requested the special services of the city police having expired, it cannot fail to be acceptable to your tfonourable Board and the public to recei ve ,: as it i s gra tifying to me and dee to the force to give, a report upon the nature and extent of the duties vrhiah " have been performed; a knowledge of which is the more desirable, as it renders to all parties; engaged their _appropriate measure of usefulness, and presents at the same time the surest guide to the fittest agencies by which the great objects committed to your charge can be best car ried out. " It will be in the recollection of the Court that on the 19th of June last your medical officer, Mr. Simon, re ported his belief that an extensive attack of cholera was impending,' and his conviction' that the existing state of inspection could not, by any possibility, perform the immense amount of duty at the existing crisis,' and suggested that it would not be possible to do better than obtain the cooperation of a section of the police force. It will be further in your recollection that I subsequently attended your deliberations upon this subject; when I ventured to repeat the substance of various recommen dations which I had previously submitted to your Hon. Court, delineating the beat mode by which I considered the service of the police could be at a trifling cost made permanently effective in carrying out the various and important objects contemplated by the Sewers Act. "My conviction so expressed has been greatly strengthened by the experience of our exertions and the character and extent of the information we have supplied during the last three months, and which I shall now proceed to detail. "By the returns which accompany this communica tion, it will appear that the sergeants of the force who were selected for this duty reported upon the condition of 15,010 houses in the following several respects:— " 12,878 houses were reported as generally clean in appearance, but in many instances were fouud, upon close examination, to require special notice for one or more of the following nuisances:— " 2,132 required whitewashing or other cleansing, on account of general dirtiness. " 2,524 had offensive smells, from bad drainage and other causes. " 720 had filth or rubbish in the cellar. " 106 had stagnant water on the premises. " 51 were found offensive, from the deficiency of dust bins, and the necessary accommodation for refuse. " 446 were found in an offensive and unhealthy state, from bad or deficient drainage. " 154 were found in much need of water, or used water deteriorated by improper receptacles. " 109 presented the necessity of having their dustbins immediately cleared. " 148 presented nuisances of various descriptions un favourable to health, not previously described. " 13,020 houses had privies and water-closets free from nuisance. '• 1,120 had privies and water•closets in a very offen' sivo state. "4,608 had their privies in the cellars. " 4,389 had their privies in passages and other parts of the houses. " 4.991 had their privies in yards and outer premises. " 152 privies were used in common by more than one house. " 223 cesspools were found full of soil. " 30 had burst or had overflowed. " 21 cellars were used as cesspools. " 40 drains were found to be choked with soil. The above reports hare reference to the internal state of houses. I shall now detail the number and nature of out-door nuisances. " 103 reports have been made by the police of stinks from the drains, gratings, &C. " 92 of stagnant water iu the streets or out door pre mises. " 16 of accumulateddeposits of offal, decayed iegetable, or other offensive matter in yards, wharfs, &c. " 36 of unwholesome trades, manufactures, or other operations. " 28 of urinals, or places used as such by the public, in an offensive state. . . "32 of dung and dust-heaps offQnsive to their neigh bourhoods. " 51 of common privies complained of as nuisances. " 8 of various nuisances not particularly defined. "In addition to these representations upon internal and external circumstances, 952 cases of actual cholera have been ascertained through the information of the medical attendants and reported in the daily returns, of which number 6351 have proved fatal, 286 have recovered, and 31 are still under treatment, or the result is not ascertained, the sufferers having been removed to the country. " Such, gentlemen, have been the labours of the police, effected for the most part in a few days, and all within the prescibed period of three mouths, and that at the trifling cost of 100/. "It will be obvious to your Honourable Court that the extreme urgency of the inquiry imparted to it the character of haste, and precluded that minute search and persevering investigation which under other and ordinary circumstances would be desirable, while our anxiety to obtain information in neighbourhoods most exposed to disease precluded inquiries into more favoured localities, but which, upon other occasions, ought not to be overlooked. " What may bo the course your ion. Court, upon mature deliberation, may decide hereafter to pursue, to accomplish the important objects of your appointment, is would be presumptuons in me to predicate; but I trust that the suggestion of ten years' experience, respectfully submitted by one filling the responsible office of Com missioner of Police in Phis great city, and for the most part residing within its walls, and in daily superintend ence of the manifold objects which affect the peace, the safety, the health, and the comfort of this vast coin munity, will not be considered as unacceptable or un worthy of your attention; and in so doing I feel it duo to the medical practitioners within the City, with scarcely an excepri t) acknowledge the: rcadiue,s and courtesy with which upon all occasions they have given informa tion to our officers; at the same time I anticipate the satisfaction it will give to your Hon. Court to hear that our inquiries have been uniformly received with grati tude, and cheerfully aided by all classes of the ommunity, "It will be obvious to your Hon. Court that the main objects of your commission are—first, to ascertain, as perfectly as possible the fullest and most minute infor mation upon all matters which can in any way affect the health or comfort of the inhabitants, and of persons frequenting the City; next to be satisfied, by frequent reports, that whatever is suggested to be done, is well and promptly done; and lastly, that the information of what is required and performed should be obtained in the most efficient and least expensive way. " Now, I venture to think that, for obvious reasons, there is no agency by which these objects can be so effectually accomplished as by that of the police force. The police is a recognized authority, to which applica tion can be made without annoyance or loss of time; whose services can be rendered without intrusion, and of whose neglect complaint may be legitimately made and redress promptly obtained. It comes within our expe rience to know that serious inconveniences are tolerated from an indisposition to incur personal reproach, or the trouble that individual interference imposes, but which would be promptly brought under the notice of the police if their services in this respect were publicly an nounced in relation to these matters, and many other such as are detailed in the accompanying returns. Secondly, it will be admitted, that next to the know -1 ledge of an evil is the evidence of its speedy removal. " Now, though we have reported upon many hundreds of cases, essu , ning different degrees of nuisance, to which there can be no doubt the ready attention of your Honourable Court has been given, yet there i 3 no channel so prompt and disinterested through which to ascertain that your directions have been effectually enforced, as that by which the original information is given, for the parties through whom nuisances are re ported and their suppression ascertained are not the fittest to execute the orders of your Honourable Board. It should also be borne in mind that when actual nuisances are reported, and their removal satisfactorily attested, such reports can only have reference to things as they exist at the time, and that to effectually main tain a perfect system of sanitary authority, the super vision of which I speak should be vigilant and continuous. To relax is to retrograde; to delay is to parley with disease and death; and by what means, permit Inc re spectfully to inquire, can such an amount of aid be so effectually and so economically secured as through the agency of the police?

CLAIRVOYANCE IN THE COT7O i MARKET.—One day last week a well-known cotton speculator, finding himself at a loss what to do as to selling or holding t ot ton at the present rates, and wishing, with his Lewd caution, to act on the best information, bethought himself of the many instances of wise foresight record. d in the public journals, as manifested by the equally well known lady so eminently gifted with clairvoyance. Quietly and softly did the cunning man wend his way to the cunning woman. On introlucing himself to the lady, he, with mercantile liberality, presented her with more than her accustomed fee, and begged of her to acquaint him with the price which Bowed Georgia cotton, of fair quality, would bear at the expi ration of the current year, for to that epoch did his speculative views extend. The lady. with that motif sty which always attends real merit, at d which so well be comes her sex, at first excused herself, saying that she knew nothing about cotton, and ra ter heard of Bowed Georgia. But the ardent specul a t or was not to b e so put off in his suit, and, on redoubling his entreaties, he at last prevailed on the lady to try her powers on th,! novel and difficult question. She seated herself in her prophetic chair, like the Pythoness of old. " Bring the board," she cried, meaning the board which she uses in her vaticinations ; " chalk on the board the price which the thing you talk of brings in the market this day." The morel ant forth with chalked the figure 6 large and sixpence being the value of Bowed Georgia, of Ilk quality, last week. " Turn the board upside dowr ; rietis you j will see the price which Bowed Georgia ct Ma, of f r quality, will bear in the last week of the current year." The delighted speculator _ k lost of no o t ur a L 0. .- m , nt in visiting the cotton bags g c o o n t too:, he c h h is an o g h e oloe b ; ou o g u h d t , inmany rewardthousand o f his fai g t s h o a f nd th d e ili has already had t h e gratificstion pro o l f os a u n e a o d f va the nceof a halfpenny per lb., the pleasing three pence per lb. which is tocome.—Liverpool Mercu r y. FALLACIO US NOTIONS WITH RESPECT TO L IFE Assuaaricn.—ln a recent number of our much-esteemed contemporary the Builder we find the following startling piece of intelligence:— .6 Th e Mutual Principle in Life Assurance.—ln mutual offices there are no shareholders, the policy ohwffiohl oo d em e s r sil theat s h ebme profitsesne vieu arewc on thusnts t i o i t n u d c t i i rv n ei g the divided, es increase in company, inan d la policy in amongst sueh 600 per cent. whil e w ith proprietary co v m a e n s o , l o e f s c s o t u h r a s n e the 600 per cent. would have been divided among the shareholders, the value of the policy remaining as at first, without the slightest increase." Now this is altogether erroneous. Al' proprietary offices divide a considerib'e portion of their profits among the policy-holders some as much as 801. per cent. and policies in such off o a have had bonusses declared upon them greater in amount than were ever dt elated by a mutual office. It is per fectly true that the shareholders in some offices have reaped enormous profits upon their investments, but not improperly so. If the business transacted was great and the deaths few, as on the other hand the very reverse might have been the case, they but reaped a fair profit upon the capital they have applied to such great risks. In a mutual office it is perfectly true that all the profits belong to the assured, but we could name some mutual offices that expend more in manage ment than would pay all the directors and shareholders in a proprietary company, giving both their full and satisfactory quota of profit.— The Reporter. Major-General his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, K.G., has returned from leave of absence, and resumed the command of the troops serving ia; he garrison of Dublin, and in the Dublin distriot. ►eir t is s in has - 42
