This Society has for its basis, Economy combined with Security—the terms of Assurances for young and middle aged lives, being much lower than those of any other Office which gives a bonus to the Assured ; and a full statement of its affairs is annually made to the Share-holders and Policy-holders, who have a control over the Society. Three-fourths of the profits are now divided among those Assured on an equable scale, for the whole term of life after the Policies shall have been in force four years ; ind eventually the whole of the profits will be so divided. Endowments for children are granted, and Assurances on Joint Lives, Survivorships, Survivorship Annuities, as well as every species of Life contingency, at rates propor tional to the nature of the risks, which are as low as pos sible compatible with security to the Assured. Assurances are also effected, either by paying small Pre miums at first, and increasing them every five years, or by , paying a high Premium at first, subject to periodical abate ments, and, ultimately, the payments to cease altogether. In fine, persons may be Assured in any way which may be best adapted to their circumstances or wishes. Medical Referees are appointed in most cities and large towns, and Agents in many, from whom information may be obt.iined and Prospectuses had. By order of the Board of Directors, JOHN KNOWLES, Resident Director. The following is an extract from a letter written by Surgeon WALTHEW, of Holyhead :—" I was called this day to three men on board the Sarah, of Bris tol, who were suffocated by closing the hatch after they had gone to bed over night. The fire was in an iron pot —it was Scotch coal—two were quite dead (Welchmen)— all means failed to bring them to life—the trachea was opened, and their lungs well inflated, and which was kept up for some time, yet without success— the third was a black man, who had life in him; his body cold ; all his senses suspended ; he breathed a little; his heart was not to he felt, but by applying warmth to his death-like body, and injecting with the stomach-pump a large quantity of brandy into the viscus, the vital spark was kindled, and he is now in a fair way of recovery."— Dublin Register. A good many circumstances of a rather ludi crous nature occurred on the two days of polling. One quondam elector appeared to inform the Sheriff that he had been disfranchised by a rather singular cause—namely, the wind having some weeks since blown down the pre mises on which be rt gistered. Another, after having had a carriage sent to carry him to the poll by the friends of the one candidate, voted for his opponent by mistake; while a third having pledged himself to all three can didates, and being many miles distant on the day of elec tion, had a gig sent him by two of the candidates; he took the one that reached him Srar.—Elgin Courier.

On the night of Saturday last, a Rockite notice was posted on the chapel gate of Moghern w, i❑ the parish of Cumcliff, threatening any person to be flayed alive who should take an acre of ground, or give any cattle to graze to JAMES GILLMOR, of Dunavny. The only cause assigned for this threat is, that Mr. GILLMOR would not, at the last Assizes, give a character of a fellow who was trans ported for burglary and robbing arms, and for making himself conspicuous at WYNNE'S late election. Mr. GILL 3tott was a kind neighbour to the peasantry who bur rounded him.— Sligo Journal. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—OR Monday week a❑ accident of a melancholy description occurred at the cotton factory of Messrs. HELM, of Padihan - i, by which an unfortunate woman was instantaneously hurried into eternity. She entered the factory with the intention of speaking to an acquaintance, when her clothes unfortu nately caught the upright shaft, which turns with great velocity, and she was killed upon the spot. Both her legs were torn off at the knee joints, and the greater part of her head was shivered to atoms. Auother woman in the room had a very narrow escape,—.Bluchburn Gaz.

Yesterday being county-day, a very numerous meeting of the Magistrates of Middlesex was held at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell, for the disposal of important public business; G. W. MARRIOTT, Eq., Chairman. The minutes of the last session were read and confirmed. The list of parishes in arrear for county-rates was then read. O❑ the first day of the sessions the total amount due was 13,818/., but it had since been re duced to 12,2361. The Report of the Committee on the county Treasurer's account was then presented. The sum received by Sir Robert Baker during the past quarter amounted to 21,311/. 17s. 10(1., and the ex penditure to 22,3201. 16s. 6d., leaving a balance in his hands on the 29th of Dec. last of 2,0211. Is. 41d. A penny rate having been proposed, Mr. ROBINSON rose, not to oppose the grant, but he thought the Court ought rather to take measures to collect in the arrears.—(Hear.) Mr. M'WiLLIA.SI would say that persons of pro perty, those who had the means, ought to be taxed and taxed again, rather than those should be taxed who could not pay, or that they should go on to raise taxes to build gaols in which to confine those who had no means of living.—( Hear.) The Report was received, and the rate was con firmed. BRIGHTON, JAN. 10. Yesterday his INIAJEsTy gave audience to Vice-Admiral Sir ROBERT OTWAY and Lord DUNCANNON ; after which he took a carriage airing to near Shoreham, accompanied by his daughter, Lady KENNEDY ERSKINE. Her MAJESTY, accompanied by Prince GEORGE, Earl Of ALBEMARLE, Lady CAROLINE KEI'PELL, and several of the suite, took an airing on horseback; the Royal cortege proceeded on the Downs. The Princess AUGUSTA promenaded on the Ma; ine Parade, accompanied by the Marchioness of CORNWALLIS; afterwards her Royal Higlinm enjoyed a carriage airing. Lord ADOLI'HUS FITZCLARENCE left the Pavilion yes terday morning, for London. Sir WATHEN WALLER and Sir GEORGE SEYMOUR arrived yesterday at the Palace, on a visit to their MA JESTIES.

ENGLISH THEATRE AT PARIS.—The per formance of Bertram and The Weathercock went off, i❑ the Salle Chantercine on Friday night, with much ap plause. The honours of the evening were divided between vies SMITHSON, Mr. ARCHER, and Mr. JONES. Signor DE VILLE, many years an usei ul member of the Italian Opera Company, was yesterday morning found in his chamber dead of a fit of apoplexy. He was highly esteemed by ail his prefessional brethren and by a numerous circle of acquaintance. Such is the depression of the times, that a confectioner, in the city, who, a few years ago, sold annu. ally cakes for consumption on twelfth night to the amount of 6001 , did not sell more for use the last twelfth-day than amounted to 701. _ _ Afr. ROBERT CHAMBERS, whose " Literary Journal," and other works have deservedly obtained such 'Aide celebrity, has recently produced a concise " History of Scotland," brought down to the present times, writttn in a plain and popular manner. It is also well calculated by its unimpeachable accuracy, its portable size and its cheapness, to be one of those popular histories in every body's hands. A public dinner was given yesterday by the electors of the Chertsey district, at the Crown Inn, Chert ,ey, to Messrs. DENISON and LEECH, Members for the western division of the county of Surrey. R. W. EDGELL, Esq , was in the chair, and among the company was Mr. BRISCOE, M.P. About 150 gentlemen sat down to table. The different newspapers printed in the United States amount in number to nearly one thousand, ~nd the aggregate number printed annually is estimated at fifty millions, which is about one press to every 1,300 persons, and four newspapers annually to each inhabitant. THE COMPLETE LETTER-WRITER..—The following curious epistle was despatched not many months since to a medical gentleman residing in the neigh bourhood of Old Romney :—" Cer,—Yole oblige me if yole kom and see me. I have a bad kowd, am hill in my bow hills, and have lost my happy tight. Your sarvt, R. STALE."-Kentish Gazette. HARRIS, DEC. 15.—The Erendringen, of Drontheim, Norway, was lost on the east coast of this stand during the terrible storm of last night, and, melan choly to relate, the whole crew, six in number, perished. She was bound for Barcelona, with stock fish. The ves sel's papers were cast ashore, from which these particulars were ascertained, She has become a total wreck.—Edin burgh Observer. DRAMATIC ANECDOTES.—AII who take any interest in dramatic affairs must view with especial curiosity the career of those votaries of the sock and buskin who, from various causes, have from time to time been induced to quit this country, and to select as the scenes of their professional exertions the shores of the New World. If sparkling anecdote, curious detail, not unmixed with the most varied and valuable information can recommend a work, Mr. Dula.Ar's recently published " Anecdotes of the American Theatre," are richly entitled to public estimation. Anecdotes of COOK E, KEAN, KEMBLE, MATTHEWS, HOLCROFT, SIDDONS, BERNARD, KOTZEBUE, SCHILLER, GOETHE, COOPER, are alone suf. ficient to attract any reader. AGREEABLE SURPRISE.—The effects of a respected clergyman, who lately departed this life in the parish of St. Sidwells, and who, from his frugal habits, was not supposed to be possessed of such superfluous wealth, having been examined last week, in several of the drawers a quantity of hard cash was found, which took two learned gentlemen of the law, belonging to this city, with their assistants, above hours to count, when it was discovered to amount to 50,0001. A wheel-barrow was provided, and a powerful driver procured, to transport the treasure to one of our banks. It is said that one of the servants has been left 5001.—Exeter Gazette. A LOQUACIOUS COMPANION.—Tuesday a gentleman, who paid for a seat in the Bath coach, on its arrival at his hotel, in Piccadil►y, went with his luggage to the coach, but on perceiving a gentleman whom he knew inside, he suddenly retreated, telling the coachman he bad changed bis mind, and consequently forfeited his deposit money. Being asked by a friend in thc: coffee house, why he did not proceed, he answered, that " the gentleman in the coach was an eternal prater, and he was convinced, if he were to travel with him, that he would talk him to death before be reached the end of his jour ney." it is notorious that the person alluded to caused an excellent ordinary at the west end of the town, which he frequented, to be discontinued, as his incessant gabble talked away the landlord's customers. ANECDOTE OF BENTHAM.—Bis table-talk partook largely of reminiscences of by-gone days, but be would now and then indulge in some lively sally upon those who were his guests. To one of them, a gentleman, alike distinguished by the honesty and earnestness of his opinions, and by the talecc with which he supports them with his pen, but to whose conversation GARRICK'S joke o❑ GOLDSMITH inigbt be applied— " He writes like an angel, but talks like poor Poll," Mr. BENTHAM once said, whilst at table, " J—, take that pen in your hand."

TH E LEATHER TRADE.—This trade has been extremely flat and depressed for the last twelve months, and prices have been so low as, in many cases, not to leave the tanners a profit. It now, however, ap pears that prices have passed their lowest ebb, and that the tanners have again the prospect of realising a fair re turn for their capital. The stock of leathers at present on hand is very limited, as compared with that of last year at this season ; a good deal of leather has been sold of late, and some articles are becoming scarce, and look ing up in pricee.Liverpool Times. INTERMEDIATE SESSIONS. The CHAIRMAN rose to direct the attention of the Court to a subject which it would be better to take early, as it was likely to occupy a great deal of time,—namely, to receive the report of the deputa tion appointed to wait on Lord Melbourne, in re ference to the recommendation of the Grand Jury to held intermediate Sessions. That was a subject on which the public mind had evinced peculiar inte rest, and had been also touch misled and abused. It was only in the power of those who waited upon Lord Melbourne to state what really was done, and he thought it desirable that the report of the depu tation should be now brought forward.—(Hear.) The Cletk of the Peace then proceeded to read the report of the deputation, which referred to the kind and attentive manner they were received by the Secretary of State, and embodied his Lordship's letter in reply, wherein he acquiesced in the pro posed plan, and recommended its immediate adop tion. The committee recommended to this Court that for the speedier delivery of prisoners four addi tional Sessions should be held in future. Sir G. HAMPSON proposed a motion to that effect. Mr. HALSENVELL seconded it. The CHAIRMAN put the question, which was car ried with but four dissentients. It was agreed that a copy of the report should be communicated to the city:authorities to show them that this Court designed no collision with the O►d Bailey, but that the Court merely wished to regu late its own practice, continuing to try the same class of prisoners as heretofore. CHAIRMAN'S SALARY AND DUTIES. Sir John Sewell, the chairman of the committee appointed to report on this subject, being ill, Mr. ROTCH proposed that the question should be adjourned for a fortnight. The motion having been seconded, was agreed to. HOUSE OF CORRECTION. The report of the visiting Magistrates stated that there were upwards of 1,000 prisoners in the House of Correction ; they were generally healthy and or derly. The report recommended a private entrance to be made to the Sessions-house for prisoners, as the officers had complainod that in taking them to trial there was great danger of escape from the dark ness of the present passage, and the number of per sons about. The expense had been estimated un der 1001. Mr. tioARE supported the recommendation. Captain ACKLOM seconded it. The report of the visiting Justices was received. TIIE NEW PRISON. The visiting justices reported that the number of prisoners confined here was 329, consisting of 251 males, 17 females, and seven children. The pri soners were in general healthy and orderly.—Re port received. Mr. HOARE alluded to the practice of detaining prisoners against whom no bill of indictment is found until the Grand Jury breaks up, let the time be what it might. That was very cruel, and he could wish to see it abolished. Serjeant ANDREWS said it had always been the usage of every court in the country, and he believed the Court had no power to make any alteration. The CItAIRMAN concurred in the opinion of Mr. Sergeant Andrews. THE LUNATIC ASYLUM. The report of the visiting justices to the Lunatic Asylum stated that it contained at present 500 pa tients, and detailed various plans which had been adopted to improve the convenience of the building, and the comfort of its inmates; the saving to the different parishes was as much as 50/. per week; 81 patients had been discharged cured, 99 had died, and 422 had been admitted during the past year. Six cases of relapse had occurred. There were now in the asylum 217 males, and 279 females. A legacy of 1,000/. having been left to the asylum ; the Governors had invested that sum in land at Wakefield, for the purpose both of employing and amusing the lunatics; and that had a very beneficial effect in restoring. the tone of their minds. The ex pense also would soon be met by the produce of their labour. The report was received, and it was also agreed that 1,000 copies should be printed and circulated among the Magistrates and parochial authorities of the county. The funds of the asylum were in an improved state. Last year it was 1,2451. in debt ; that was considerably reduced, and in a short time it would pay its own expenses, which would be a great sav ing to parishes. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. Mr. JESSOP brought forward an adjourned mo tion, " that on any future vacancy in the chair of these sessions, no Magistrate should be elected thereto who had not previously given notice of offering himself as a candidate, or of accepting the office if elected, or unless a notice should have been given by another magistrate to propose him; the notice to be given not later than the county-day of the Sessions preceding that for the election of Chairman." He had felt the necessity of such an arrangement early in life, for in those good old days, when their business was conducted in a room to which those curious persons who take down the words as glibly as they utter them were not ad mitted, he remembered that the Recorder and some city Magistrates came down and elected a man upon whom they had fixed their choice, and the announce ment of this successful ruse was received with shouts of laughter in 'Westminster-hall. The situation was so important that it required no argument to prove that the Court should know whom they were to elect before the very day of election. Dr. ROBINSON seconded the motion. Mr. ORME proposed as an amendment that the Chairman should be nominated on one county-day, and elected on the next. Mr. M'WILLIAM seconded it. Mr. HALLS supported it. Mr. JESSOP withdrew the original motion, and (PRICE 71).) th e amendment was substituted for it. Seventeen magistrates voted for it, and ten against it. After the disposal of some other business of no public importance, the Court adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A FOURTH PROFESSION.—Mr. Hillier, the son of Captain Hillier, an old military officer, appeared against the driver of one of the Clapham coaches, named Thomas .Russell, a man of great strength of body and reported pugilistic skill. Mr. Hillier, according to his father's account, had taken such a fancy for coach.dri6ng, notwithstand itig his education, that he first set up a stage-coach, aid then asked the Captain's advice upon the subject. All expostulations were useless. The son would drive, and he necessarily became subject to the in. solent comments of his meaner brothers of the whip, who were always ready to whip away the female customers into their own vehicles, from the very steps of that of the gentleman driver. Upon the present occasion the defendant was stated not only to have seized two ladies who were about to honour the complainant, but struck the young gentleman violently in the face, knocked him down, and gave him a most strangling twist in the throat. The LORD MAYOR said that a gentleman who attempted to satisfy so preposterous a taste as that of stage-coach driving could scarcely expect any other treatment than had been described. The fact was, that there were now four professions for the choice of gentlemen—physic, divinity, the law, and stage-coach driving.—(Laughter.) Captain Hillier finding that his son had so great an attachment to the whip, had endeavoured to con ciliate the defendant, who was the most terrific ruf fian upon the road ; but the attempt had no other effect than that of producing such a volley of oaths and curses as could scarcely be expected to issue from the most incorrigible villain in Newgate.--- (Here the defendant laughed.) The LORD MAYOR said it would have been pru dent in the father to induce the son to take a long coach—a Brighton coach, for instance, would be desirable to one so young in the profession, for he would then have some of the Nobility and gentry as competitors; but in a rivalry like the present there was no glory but that of abuse and blows. His Lordship then asked the defendant what he had to answer to such a complaint ? The defendant as• sured the LORD MAYOR, in a very mild and respect ful tone, that he was himself the injured man, for he had been not only struck and knocked about and blackguarded by the defendant, but his two ladies, who were just going to scat themselves in his coach, were snatched away by the complainant from his protection.—(Loud laughter.) Two witnesses, whose appearance caused some mirth, were ready to swear to the truth of the de fence ; but The LORD MAYOR told the defendant that he must find bail, to answer the complaint at the Ses sions. Captain Hillier declared that it was hia determi nation to prosecute. The LORD MAYOR said that perhaps the violence and exposure to which the young gentleman had been subjected, would tend more than all the advice in the world, to conquer his taste for the fourth profession, which even the high rank of some of the professors could never render respectable. Captain Hillier had endeavoured to bring up his son to the law, but the lash of the whip had more charms for the young man than a client's bill. It was but little his family ever expected that any member of it would become one of the fraternity of the Clapham-road, or be engaged in a quarrel with a person so infinitely beneath the notice of a gen tleman. The Captain then retired with his son, who had a tremendous black eye. G UILDHALL. THE REFORM ACT.—Yesterday the overseers of St. Bride's waited upon Sir C. MARSHALL, to learn the decision of the City Solicitor respecting the legality of compelling a liveryman, who acquires no additional power by being registered as a 101 householder, to pay a shilling for such registration. Mr. Farr, of Fleet -street, who does not resist the payment from a spirit of opposition either to the overseers or to the Act, but from the desire to settle a question affecting some thousand of his fel !ow-citizens, begged to put his point in his own way. He thought that the construction to be put on the 44th section was, that the overseer was to prepare two lists, one containing a list of persons en titled to vote otherwise than in respect to property — that is, as regards London, the liverymen residing in the parish whether 10/. householders or not ; the other list containing the 10/. householders enfran•- chised by the Act. The course which had been pursued was to mingle the liverymen with 101. householders, when they were entitled to vote in respect to their property. Mr. Gale, a solicitor, as vestry-clerk of one of the city parishes, had sent a circular to the liverymen householders, informing them that he should put them on the list of 101, householders, notwithstand ing they might be liverymen, unless they gave him a written request not to do so, which request would bar them from afterwards complaining of the omission. His opinion was that a liveryman, be ing a 101. householder, might vote on which quali fication he pleased, and it was therefore the duty of the overseer to return him in the list of householders. A gentleman observed that if this were held to be the law, the effect might be that all the liverymen would disqualify as householders, by refusing to pay the taxes, &c. till the Ist of August in each year. Mr. Farr was asked whether he voted as a house holder or a liveryman ? He replied he did not vote at all. A gentleman said Mr. Farr had nearly lost his privilege as liveryman, through the clerk of the company posting up a misdescription at the Royal Exchange, which happened to be noticed by a friend in time. The City Solicitor said his first impression was that Mr. Gale's view of the matter was correct; hut he would rather consider the question again than decide hastily, and all parties should have notice when he made up his mind. Q UEEN-SQ UARE. ASSAULT.—A dashing-looking young fellow, named Driver, was charged with violently assaulting Mr. Attie, a distiller in Church -street, Lambeth. On the previous evening the defendant rapped at Mr. Attie's door, sad on that gentleman coming out the defendant violently assaulted him. The police took him into custody. In reply to the charge, the defendant said that Mr. Attie had got a lady in the house, and he merely called to him through the key-hole. The Magistrates fined the defendant the full penalty of .5/. THE WESTMINSTER GANG OF JUVENILE THIEVES —Yesterday five youths, named Preston, 211 Isaacs, Gee, Collins, and Ricks, were brought up for final examination, charged with entering the shop of Mr. Brown, a potato-salesman, in Great Chapel-street, Westminster, and stealing a bowl, containing from Ios. to 12s. in copper. The prisoners, with two or three other lads, en tered the shop in the evening, and, in the most da ring manner, snatched the bowl of halfpence off the counter, and ran away with it. Ricks was admitted King's evidence, and stated that Preston, who is not more than nine years of age, trig urchins now commenced charging each th cheating in the distribution of the . One declared he only got sixpence, instead of eighteen-pence; another said he was done, for he only got sixpence-halfpenny. Mr. GREGORIE committed them all for trial. Yesterday James Fenshant, a young lad about 18 years of age, was brought up in custody by a police c instable of the B division, No. 160, charged with I ;tithing a man named John Brumwell, in the eye, with a pitchfork, whereby his life was endangered. The prisoner was removed in custody. TV OR SHIP-STREET. A respectably-dress e d but poor woman, named Mary Darby, came to this office yesterday, to com plain of having been grossly assaulted on the day before by Mrs. Coombs, a pawnbroker in the neigh bourhood, and also by her clerk, a young man about 18 years of age. The complainant went to the defendant's shop to redeem a shawl, which she bad pledged for 45.; she took the amount in farthings, -which she counted out on the counter, while the clerk went to fetch the shawl. On his returning with it, she handed the amount to him, in papers of a shilling each ; but he refused to take them, calling her, at the same time, a—. Another clerk in the shop also said, " Don't take such rubbage as that." Witness, con sidering that she was entitled to the shawl, took it, and was in the act of leaving the shop, when the defendant jumped over the counter and seized her, as if she had purloined something, at the same time knocking her about the shop. The other defendant, Mrs. Coombs, on hearing a noise, ran up to her, and after taking the shawl from her, called in an offi• err; but he declined interfering, and said he thought the complainant was very ill-used. Police constable—So she was, your Worships ; they knocked her about in a shameful manner. Complainant—Being fearful, as the twelvemonth had expired on that day, that I might lose the shawl altogether, I went with the money in silver, and brought it away this morning. Mr. BROUGHTON—It's a great pity you took the ,mount in farthings at first. How came you to have it all in farthings ? Complainant (bursting into tears)—On the death of my husband I was in pos sion of a sufficiency to support me for the remainder uf my life, but was induced by false representations to lend all the money I had to a villain who is now lining in Shoreditch, but from whom I shall never get a penny. Since that time I have been in poverty, and, therefore, all I could save at a time was a farthing ! The shawl being an old family shawl, I was determined not to lose it ; yet I don't see why I should be beat and ill-used into the bargain. Mr. BROUGHTON—Is Mrs. Coombs here y Cletk —No ; she is prevented attending by illness. Mr. BROUGHTON (tothe clerk)—Why did you refuse taking the farthings ?—Clerk (impudently)— Because they were all farthings.—How did we know if she had counted them out right or not ? If all the pledges taken out of the shop were to be paid for in copper, we might employ another clerk for the purpose of counting it. Mr. BROUGHTON—I believe farthings are not a legal tender beyond sixpence. But, supposing they were not a legal tender, that did not juitly you in assaulting and detaining the woman. Defendant—We detained her to get the shawl back. We did not hurt her as she represents. Mr. BROUGHTON told the complainant that, as there was a doubt upon the case, he would advise her to let the matter rest, particularly as she bad got her property back, notwithstanding that the conduct of the defendants was highly reprehensible. She might (said the Magistrate), if she was dissatis fied, still carry the case to the Sessions. The complainant would consult with her friends upon the subject, and the parties left the office. On Saturday morning, the 15th ult., about 2 o'clock, a daring outrage was committed on the house and property of Mr. Joint HAMILTON, of Knockabrin, near Letterkenny. His son, on opening the front door, was instantly fired at and wounded in the hand and arm. In the course of a little time three large corn stacks, with An out office, were set fire to anti burnt to the ground. Sixteen head of cattle were saved by the activity of some of the inmates. In the mean time the police arrived from Letterkenn). Some of the neighbours being suspected, their place was examined, which led to an investigation on the Monday following, before the Magistrates and chief officers of police, when five persons were committed to Lifford gaol.—Ballyshannon Herald. On Sunday last, while the Rev. R. Goor,n, son of the Rev. P. GOOLD, of Borrisokane, was attending and administering the comforts of religion to a sick woman, he was interrupted by one of the police in attendance upon him, and informed that a large concourse of people was gathering from all quarters, with a design, as it was ap prehended, of doing him some bodily harm. The Rev. Gentleman, who ever since the seizure of his father's tithe has been obliged to travel under the protection of an escort, almost immediately on the intimation being made to him, left the house, mounted his horse, and was about to depart, when several voices from the assembled multitude cried out " Now for it—down with him." Mr. GOOLD, with the most perfect composure, and apparent determination, pulled in his horse, drew his pistol, and warned the mob that the first person who threw a stone, or otherwise at tacked, should be shot. Upon making this declaration, he instantly started his horse and flew threw the crowd, the police accompanying hint, and fortunately escaped the horrid death designed for him. The conduct of the police on this occasion was most praiseworthy. But for their vigilance, the name of Goyim would inevitably have been idded to those of GOING, Wntrry, HOUSTON, and FER GUSON. —Evening Packet. PROJECTED DOCKS AT WOOLWICH, WITH RAILROADS THERETO, &c.—The usual notice required in such cases has been affixed to the doors of the Middlesex Sessions House of N I intention to apply to Parliament dur ing the ensuing Session for power to form a railroad from the Commercial road, Limehouv, to the River Thames at East Ham, opposite to Woolwich ; and also a carriage road to run parallel, or nearly so, with the railway ; also for power to establish a ferry across the Thames to Wool wich; also for forming docks or slips and landing places on both sides the river for steam-boats and other vessels, with proper approaches, canals, locks, basins, wharfs, bridges, &c. &c. ; and for power to impose tolls, rates, and duties for the maintenance of the same. It is in tended the railroad should pass through Stepney, Lime house, Poplar, and Bromley, in Middlesex, and East and Went Ham, and Barking, in Essex. ANECDOTE.—An English Gentleman on a visit to the North of Scotland was told, when he came to Edinburgh, that he would not be able to understand the Aberdeenshire dialect, and was advised to take an Edin burgh servant as an interpreter, which he did, and upon his arrival at Lady F—'s, an old Scottish Countess, he was desired by the hospitable Lady, when seated at dinner, to "fa' tee, fa' tee, and eat." Upon his application to his interpreter for an explanation, the servant said, " Hoot, man, her Ladyship means fa' to and eat." " And pray what the devil," replied his master, " is fa' to 7" THE VETERAN JOHN LOGAN.—NO doubt it will be in the recollection of some of our readers that this veteran died about two years ago at the very great age of 105 ; having served in the army upwards of half a century. His widow, who is now living in this town, lately petitioned the Lords of the Treasury for a small allowance to be granted for the short period she may live, being 75 years of age, and having no relative in ability to assist her. Her pretensions were the long service of her late husband (who was a Seotehman), and with whom she had shared great fatigue and hardships, both in this country ,nd abroad. At the time of his death he was in the re ceipt of a pension, which enabled them to live together sons-in-law, whomha have also ver e served killed their comfortably; but it was discontinued on his demise; and the little all she bad saved when in health is now entirely exhausted. She was his second wife, and has ha d by him wenty-four children, twelve eons and twelve da u ghters; three Kingof which sons, country, and m s w e of , and six o n battle during the late war. He had eight children by his first wife, making in the whole thirty-two.
