The next division of life profits will take place in December, 1846, being an ineerval of five years, and persons entering be • fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete years.

This Joint Stock Company, established by Act of Parlia ment, without limited responsibility, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commencement in 1834. In 1641 the Company declared an addition to the Share holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per Cent. per Annum, from the dates of their policies to those par ties who had insured with Profits. The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale, and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the Insurance is for life. The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December 1840, is as follows : Sum Assured. Time Assured.

A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies enual to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu rances ; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for the whole period. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe.• chic sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF' THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAINN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 500/. only. The following aro the annual premiums for the assurance of 1001., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : Age 20, without profits £1 13 0 with profits £1 18 0 30 40 . ........... 214 3 ... 3 1 3 50 Flr short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and forany ages or contingencies not usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

To oppose these inno vations, the most infallible specific is lioAland's Kalydor, a preparation from the most delightful exotics, which not only by its use insures the skin from the effects of summer's scorching heat, but never fails of restorisig the skin to its pristine deli. cacy and whiteness. It is invaluable as a renovating and refreshing wash during travelling, or exposure to sun and dust : and, from its extraordinary efficacy in allaying all incidental inflammation, deserves a place among the household treasures of every family.

( Nisi Prius Sittings at Guildhall, before Lord ABINGER, and - a London Jury.) .... HOWELL V. WATTS. -THE GURIS7EY AFFAIR. Mr. HOGGINS appeared in this case for the plaintiff, and Mr. HUMFILEY for the defendant. This seas an action to recover the amount of a bill of ex change for 3001. at six months after date. It appeared that the bill in question was one of several which had gained existence as a result of what is known as the " Gurney affair," in connexion with certain doings at and after the " Derby day" of 1841. On the arrival of the Derby settlement, as will be remembered, Mr. Gurney, in conse quence of some announced defaults by parties with whom he had had bets on the event, declared himself unable to meet all the claims upon himself ; and it was stated upon the present occasion that his " book," supposing all the bets he had won had been paid, would have yielded him a profit of 2,000/.—in fact, that his gains would have been 12,0001., whilst his losses would not have amounted to more than 10,0001. As soon as Mr. Gurney's declaration had become known, re ference was had to one of the rules of the Jockey Club, which states that in all cases where a party is unable to pay his losses, the parties who may have lost bets to him are not to be called upon to pay such losses ; in other words, a rule which is effect says, that he who does not pay shall not receive. Under the peculiar circumstances of the ease, three gentlemen, of the names of Clarke, Beales, and Portman, were appointed, in the instance of Mr. Gurney, fur the purpose of arranging his betting affairs, they being em powered thereupon to receive such bets as they could obtain, and were equally empowered by Mr. Gurney to make arrange ments for the payment of, std to pay as far as their receipts would allow them, the bets upon which he had been a loser. Amongst other persons with whom Mr. Gurney hail had bets, winning some and losing others, was a gentleman of the name of Watts, and, upon the day of the settling, on their accounts being balanced, it turned out that there was the sum of 1.1751. due from the defendant. In the course of their arrangements the trustees of Gurney wrote to the de fendant, informing him of what had taken place, and request ing the payment of the above amount, as they had undertaken to pay their prinicipal's losses at the ensuing Houghton Meet ing. The result of this communication was, that the defendant gave four several bills, payable at different periods. Of these bills the one forming the subject of the present action was one, the first of the series having been regularly paid on its arrival at maturity. Between that period, however, and the day on which the present bill had become due, the de fendant had bean informed that the trustees had failed in their performance of the agreement with respect to the payment of some of Mr. Gurney's bets, and he, consequently, having given the bills upon the faith of that promise, declined to ho nour the second of the bills. The main ground of defence was—first, that the plaintiff had not given consideration for the bill ; and that if he had, then that he had done so with the full knowledge of the cir cumstances under which the bill had been given. The witness who was called to establish these facts, however, distinctly proved that the plaintiff had discounted the bill for him, re taining only the amount of interest, at the rate of 5 per cent.; and he further stated that the plaintiff, at the time of the dis count, was totally ignorant of the nature of the bill, or under what circumstances it had been given —namely, that it had been given in part payment of a gambling debt. The Jury, the defendant having thus failed in proving his pleas, under the direction of the Learned Judge, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 3071., including interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROMARLBOROUGH-STREET. Major Smith was summoned before Mr. Hardwick, for an assault upon William Fraser, a footman, in the service of a lady named Ingram, residing in Upper Brook-street. The statement of the footman was, that at a ball on Tuesday evening, at the Hanover-square Rooms, his mistress's coach man pulled in before Major Smyth's cab ; that Major Smyth was angry at this, as he elaimod the precedence on account of being in the suite of the Prince of Capua, whose carriage had just prec'ded him; that on Major Smyth going up to the win dow of his mistress's carriage for the purpose of obtaining the name, he (complainant) tendered a card with his mistress's name and address on it, which card was knocked out of his hand by the Major. While stooping to pick up the card he received a blow from Major Smyth, and this so far irritated him as to make him say to Major Smyth, "Go to —." Major Smyth then struck ..complainant several more blows, and this constituted the assault. • Major Smyth, in explanation, said it was the etiquette to give way to Royal carriages, and of course to those carriages in their suite. He was following the Prince of Capua's car riage, when another carriage drove in before him. Finding the servants in altercation, he interfered, upon which the com plainant called out insolently " - Who the are you?" De fendant left his cab and went up to the carriage to get the lady's name. The complainant continuing his insolence, thrust a parcel of cards before him, which defendant admitted he knocked out of the man's hands. The man then made use of a vulgar expression which no gentleman could brook, and de fendant sti u k him. Major Smyth's servant proved that the words " Go to —" were used by the footman, betore he was struck by his master. Mr. HARDWICK was of opinion that so much provocation had been used towards Major Smyth by the complainant, as in a great measure to excuse the assault.—Complaint dismissed. COURT. OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of public busi ness. Sergeant Merewether was sworn in as Town-Clerk. ADMISSION OF THE CURIOUS TO THE CHAPEL IN NEW.. GATE DURING SERVICE ON THE "CONDEMNED SERMON" PAY. Alderman BROWN said he rose to call the attention of the Court to a subject of considerable importance. It waa rather of general notoriety that several observations had been made in Parliament with reference to the sermon preached by the Chaplain of Newgate on the day preceding the execution of Good. It was needless for him to say that the facts had been exaggerated.—(Hear, hear.) It had been stated that the prison dress of the criminal had been taken off, and that he had been accommodated with other clothes, and prepared for exhibition before the public in the Chapel. Now it was well known that the prison of Newgate was a prison for untried prisoners, and there was no prison dress there whatever, so that. in Newgate he had not been obliged to put on a prison dres , . Good was, however, permitted, after condemnation, to change the clothes in which he had been tried, and to wear the altered dress at his execution, as well as in the Chapel. He ( Alderman Brown) should confine himself to the observations arising out of what had taken place in the chapel. The Court of Aldermen had, in the year 825, adopted measures with a view to prevent such occurrences as had recently taken place, and as had, he believed, very frequently taken place, since that period. When lie and Sir John Key were Sheriffs, several distinct executions had - unhappily, marked their year of office. 'l' he first tha toecurred did not excite any particular attention, but the next, that of Fauntleroy ,occasioned a great deal; and he and his co. eague, upon goirgto Newgate on the Sunday , previously, were surprised to find that the doors of the prison were blocked up and that the moment they were opened a crowd rushed in the :nost impetuous manner. The scene then exhibited was quite enough to convince the Sheriffs of the ne cessity of bringing the subject before the Court. of Aldermen. They considered tnat it would be sufficient to have an order is sued for closing the chapel doors against the public on Sundays immediately previous to executions,as well as on ordinary Sundays and the matter was referred to the Gaol Committee. That Committee, in their Report, dated the 18th of Novemb r, 1825, certified that they were of opinion that in future it would be expedient to exclude strangers from the chapel on these particular Sundays, as well as on all ordinary occasions ; an opinion which was agreed to, or, to use the quaint lan guage of an earlier period, was well liked, and approved by the Court. —( Hear, hear.) That Report having been adopted with unanimity, lie did not kuow how it happened that the public again contrived to get into the chapel. He regretted that so good a regulation had been violated, for no one could question the propriety of drawing and confining the attention ut a criminal, about to leave this world, to the awful circum stances in which he was placed. Nobody he believed was better qualified than Mr. Carver, the excellent Ordinary of the prison, to direct the religious attention of an unfortunate person in such a condition ; and nobody was more strongly persuaded of the necessity of not subjecting a fellow creature in his preparation for another state of being, to interruptions such as were now so usual.— ( Hear, hear.) Convinced of the expediency of enforcing the observance of a regulation by which all persons except the Sheriffs, the Ordinary, and the Governor were excluded, he should move a resolution in the spirit of that in which the Court of Aldermen had acquiesced in 1825.—( Hear, hear.) When that motion should be carried, he would move that the Town-clerk deliver a copy of it to each Sheriff upon coming into office.—( Hear.) He begged to beunderstood as imputing no blame whatever to the gentlemen who performed the duties of the office so completely to the satisfaction of their fellow citizens. They acted as their predecessors had acted. The Alderman then moved the first resolution. Alderman Thomas Wood seconded the motion, and after some remarks from Alderman Magnay, Alderman Thompson, Sir Peter Laurie, Alderman Lucas, and Alderman Copeland, all approving of the spirit of the resolution, the motion of Al derman Brown was unanimously agreed to. The effect of this motion will be to exclude the public from the Chapel of Newo.te on all occasions. Alderman THOMrSON then moved that it be referred to the Gaol Committee to consider w hether any, and w h at a l teration, if any, ought to be made in the regulations for the a d m i ss i on o f angers on days of the execution of criminal s . The motion was agreed to, and after the transaction of some business of no public interest the Court adjourned. at Ceilit,h,dailtllB4 y li t i e „ has been sent to us by Cap ----reQspieUNctiltGngKOtlEte eff l e l c T t T s w o e Turks Island, May f e B d t , h T , e:l h a i t l e e steamer r tble occurrence be interesting to you to learn earthquake TTh if ellfolEloliEn :l l p eitlpt l eT l rO a , chip strike to t 0 : irt Cap tain took place I t p.

The Tweed, under my command, was off St. Domingo, as I ran on False Cape bearing - E. by N. 12 or 14 miles.

So orlt tihiardshsi satisfied was I that the ship had been ashore, that I had hired a direr at Turk's island to look at the ship's bot tom, but who was prevented doing so by my being obliged to go to the assistance of the Medina, whi c h sh i p had got on shore on the north part of Turk's Island. It is a sin gular circumstance that the sensation was felt so strongly when we were at least in 300 fathoms water. tV LARD FRANKLIN." Irours.

CRICKET MATCHES MARYLEDONE CLUB, V. THE COUNTY OF Sussex.—This great Annual Match, one of the most important of the season, and which always excites great speculative interest among the Clubs, and the sporting world generally, will be commenced on Monday, in the enclosure of Lord's Cricket Ground, and from the known superiority of the players will, in all probability, occupy the two following days. In this match it is arranged that eight gentlemen of the Marylebone Club, with three players of their ground, shall contend with four ama. teurs of the County of Sussex and seven professionals. The betting is in lavour of the Sussex eleven, 5 to 4 being freely laid on them.

The match, played at Lord's, was concluded on Thursday evening, the Marylebone eleven winning with three wielwts to go down. Some very tine play was exhibited on both sides. Dean and Good, two players of the Marylebone ground (Lord's), displayed some very superior bowling, and the batting of the latter, and Mr. R. Kynaston was universally admired. In the first innings of the Newport Pagnel gentlemen, Dean lowered no less than eight of these wickets, and in the second innings he bowled out five. Hillyer and Bayley, who played on the Newport Pagnel side, also did great execution by their bowling, the style of which is first rate.

All Advertisements of a Disgusting Character, or Immoral Tendency, are excluded from the Columns of The Sun." ~✓ `~ t ~~ ~9~ = ~ ~'~e LONDON! SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 1842. We cannot afford to occupy this column by copyin4 what appears in another, but we earnestly request publi4 attention to our report of the proceedings yesterday at the Meeting to consider the distress of the country. Though much grieved, we are not surprised at the great distress, for we warned the public, months, and even years ago, that the laws were subjecting the people to all the terrible severities of an Ilindostan famine. Unhap pily our prediction is realised, and the public must di+ credit all testimony if it be not now convinced thtit gaunt famine prevails in the manufacturing district. since the fifteenth century, growing commerce and pro gressive civilization have guarded England against such a calamity ; but the hand of the ruthless and avaricious lawgiver, arresting both, by stopping the former, has doomed our beloved country to all the horrors of the ignorant and barbarous ages. We earnestly beseech the public to be warned, while it is yet time, for the night cotneth when no man can work, by the evidence of dreadful destitution which we lay before it. We have no wish to alarm the public by copying or repeating threats. We have some reason to suppOse that the slow but sure process of 'famine has already tamed the spirit of the multitude into the most abject submission. Evidence of the people enduring almost unheard - of and unmerited privations without murmurs, and certainly without commotion, proving that their patience has already extended far beyond the point at which riot might have been anticipated, is found in al most every provincial journal. Violence has not latterly been the character of Englishmen, even when lustily fed, and is less to be expected now when'their spirit is broken by long fasting and much disappointment. Men reason on this subject from an imperfect ana logy, -and are consequently deceived: Violent revolu tions have been instigated by hunger, and therefore it is inferred that here distress must provoke rebellion. But our people are accustomed to discussion, and the daily growth of every public feeling is duly announced. The anger which grows from distress, is checked by the charity which relieves it ; and outrage is kept down, by the hope that something yet will be clone. All classes meet to express their opinions, and no new sentiment can come suddenly and generally into existence, bearing down all before it like an avalanche. Discussion and freedom nourish a universal respect even for bad laws ; end there is more reason to dread the g'radu'al reconcile- ment of the multitude to a liindoo - standard of subsist nce. than a furious outbreak. We are at present a greatly divided people. We are split into many con flicting sects. Capitalists and labourers are at variance. The English l o ok on th e Irish as interlopers, who take away their bread ; and the two are m ore likely to quar rel, than make common cause: But, while the people are divided,:the 'system hick .ipygre?scs them is unifoim and constant in it7operations. Rebellion, then, Ca44 o t , 1)9 concocted iu wrPti extegl4vo copse 4 scarcely possible, and a pining atrophy seems as Oka 1 Y as a furious fever to waste the greatness of England:. Yet the alarm which has of late been felt, and wh jell still prevails in some quarters, seems not wholly witlic +ut foundation. We learn from the Kent Herald, that Dt. I.I‘DouALL gave a lecture at Canterbury, on Monday,.. on the distress of the country, a part of which is tkus described : The leeturer in fervid and eloquent language depicted the distressed state of the manufacturing districts, and said that the tariff would afford no relief. He declared that the starv ing people from the north and midland counties intended next week to march up in a body of two or three hundred thousaA d to London, and, abstaining from physical force, would make' known that " since they must starve, they would starve ire face of Cod and of Queen Victoria II" He was sure that t+s! soldiery woald not, even if ordered, fire upon this unarmed,. helpless mass. They would find plenty of houses, for the cor rupt and cowardly aristocracy would vacate-London on their approach. He thought that the country was on the eve of a p eat revolution, and he prayed it might be bloodless—but that -would depend on the manner in which the people were treated, as there was a point beyond which even the English people, the most forbearing and submissive of all people under the stn, would not endure ilf-treatment. Dr. M'DouALL's cenviction concerning the soldiers may be compared to the anecdote told of the feelings of one soldier, by Mr. G. THOMPSON, at the meeting. His accountoof the resolve of the people gives no counte nsnce to his conclusion ; and the marching to London to die, seems more like despair than rebellion in the Char tist camp. The distress in the north, and the language held at the Chartist meetings in the cathedral city, are, how ever, not unimportant events. A good opportunity offers to investigate the former 4„ At this mo ment the British Association for the Advance ment of Science is holding its annual meeting at Man chester. The natural history of man in tame, or . tho natural progress and development or.society, is as muds a part of science, and it has been so treated by CUVISR. as entomology, chemistry, or astronomy. It is, in truth, that science, which, for the well-being of all, now de mands, much more than any other the attention, of the Ides fortes of the kingdom. Intellect has no wilder waste to reduce under culture than the little tilled science of society, and no nobler conquest is now. offered to its exertions. To calculate the parallax of a fixed star is a great achievement, but it will be a far greater to demonstrate the cause and the cure of the national distress. The British Association holds its sittings in the midst of social decay, and it will be unworthy of its name, it will be considered as a trifling and a useless body—it will deserve the satire of its opponents, if it break up from Manchester without supplying some ex planation of the sources of the evils which now press so heavily on the community. If mankind are not to look to " the lights of the world and demigods of fame " to light them peaceably to a better condition of existence, where can they find any guide ? A Philadelphia correspondent of a Morning Paper nys " The British Islands are pouring both their thousands an 4 their tens of thousands upon the Americin shores, and I oh serve that a majority of the arrivals are these of agricultural labourers, artisans, mechanics, and small farmers. Last week 3,830 personages landed from Europe at New York. At Toronto, far in the interior of Upper Canada, 2,500 have al ready arrived this season, while at Philadelphia, Boston, and Baltimore, the arrivals are more numerous than ever before known." If the people cannot get food at home, they will go abroad to obtain it. The plain consequence, therefore, of the Corn-keeping -out law is to depopulate England, to a certain extent, and increase the population of the United States—diminishing our wealth and greatness. and increasing the wealth and greatness of that rapidly rising Republic. We have quoted the proof. Not half so many persons would go, probably, if the law would allow food to be brought hither, and then England might fully participate in all the advantages of the yet untitled forests of America. The wilds of the Far West " may be reached in com fort," says the same correspondent" for from six to, eight pounds." In fact, the new land of the United States ie more accessible from the sea border of England than 1 . were the wilds of Scotland, or of Ireland, half a century ago, both of which have since much contributed _to feed our population. The law which keeps out of England the food grown in the United States is a law to prevent our people adding the States of Illinois and Missouri to their territory, It deprives them of the advantages of a . new country explored and cultivated by old arts. Band is useful, for what it bears; and by importing the produce of the new soil of the United States, wt in fact import all for which the soil is valuable. With 4Umeasurable folly, however, our law-makers are depriving England of this immense advantage, and dooming her people to expa triation and decay. MEHESIET ALI AND THE TRANSIT THROUGH EGYPT. —From the last advices received from Alexandria, it appears that the Pacha of Egypt is fulfilling the promises which he made to the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, under the negotiation effected by Mrs. Anderson, for opening and facilitating the transit of passengers and goods to and from India. The Pacha has granted permission to the Company to navigate thw Great Canal, from Alexandria to Atfeh on the Nile, by steam-boats, a point of which he has hitherto been very tenacious. This will facilitate the transit of pas sengers in a most important degree. The Pacha has further, on the Company's requisition, postponed the commence. , ment of the first, or experimental twelve months, which he granted for a free transit through Egypt, of merchandize to and from India, until the arrival at Suez of the first of the Company's steamers destined to form the commu nication between India and Suez. He has also given orders for improving the road between Cairo and Suez, and has, moreover, offered to build or furnish to the Company, transit depots at Alexandria, Atfeh. Shoubra (near Cairo), and Suez, the Company giving in their own plans for the buildings, and engaging to pay to the Pasha a moderate rent proportionate to the outlay. The route to and from India, via Egypt, may therefore, in the course of a very short time, be expected to present every facility which can be desired, and to become the great thorough fare between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. THE STEAM-SHIP HINDOSTAN.—This magnificent vessel, the first of the Oriental Steam Company's line for the communication between Calcutta, Madras, Cey lon, and Suez, is rapidly progressing in her outft, and will, it is said, be ready to start for India from South ampton, by the Ist of September. She will be com manded by Captain Richard Moresby of the Indian Navy, so well known for his elaborate survey of the Red Sea, the Maldive Islands, &c. A considerable number of cabins are already engaged in her, and it is expected the vessel will be full of passengers on her outward voyage. The Bentinck, a sister vessel to the Hindostan, and destined for the same station, will soon be launched at Liverpool. These vessels are each of the burthen of 1,800 tons, and have engines of 520 horse power. A mo del of th;: Hindostan, exhibiting a complete plan of her interior accommodations, is kept at the offices of the )ricioul Company in St. Mary Axe, and is a great our:ositN. HYDROPHOBIA. The Austrian Government has recently published the fol lowing notifications upon the employment of a remedy in cases of hydrophobia:— " Whenever a person has been bitten by a dog, the under sur face of the tongue is examined, and the sublingual veins are generally found to be considerably swollen. They are opened, and the blood is allowed to flow until it stops of itself. The patient is then ordered to take 23 grains of Geatiana Crociata. This is the strongest dose, but it should be varied according to the age and constitution of the patient and the intensity of the disease. It should be cut up into small pieces, and pounded in a mortar with water, until a clear solution is obtained. It 'should be taken during nine days consecutively , before break fast in the morning. At the same time the bite should be treated in the follow ing manner:—lf the patient has only been recently bitten, the wound should be washed with spirits of rosemary, and then dressed with a plafster composed of two portions of sour of rye and one portion of the wood of the junip er t ree fi ne l y pul verised, with a sufficient quantity of brandy to bring it to the consistence of a thick paste. if the wounds be deep and dan. gerous, then equal portions of the two first substances, may be taken. " If the hydrophobia has already assumed a violent aspect, the patient must be encased in a strait waistcoat, in order to prevent him from doing mischief to himself or others. The above remedies must be applied, taking thirty grains of the root of Gentians Crociata, instead of 25 grains. It will occa sionally be found necessary to resort to force to induce the patient to swallow the medicine. At the expiration of three hours the dose must be repeated. should the patient not come to his senses after the,second dose, an entire root must be placed in his mouth with great precaution. The patient will chew it with avidity, and if he swallows the remainder of it, it may be looked upon as a favourable symptom. The veins should not be opened unless the patients are tranquil, or /lA, have partially or entirely recovered their senses. As soon as the blood has ceased to flow, some broth should be given to the patient, who will then fall into a deep sleep, in which state he will remain for eight or ten hours. During this sleep a glu tinous mucus will collect in the mouth, which it is very im• portant, and indeed essential, to be removed."
