Yesterday morning a woman named Charlotte Hall, the wife of a plasterer, was found dead in bed, at her house in Church-street, Wimbledon, and from the appearances pre sented by the body, there is too much reason to fear that she met her death unnaturally, recourse having been had to strangulation. The husband of the deceased has absconded. It was well known in the neighbourhood that the deceased and her husband passed a very quarrelsome time, and the neighbours have on more than one occasion had to interfere between them. He was in the habit of getting drunk, and deceased occasionally indulged herself. The inmates of the house where the alleged murder has taken place were the man Hall and the deceased, and Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Smith, sisters, who slept in the next room to deceased and her hus band, the child, a little boy, two years of age, sleeping in abed by himself in Mrs. Hall's room. On Monday night the man Hall came home very drunk, and was exceedingly violent in his language, not merely to his wife, but. the other inmates of the house. He went to work the next morning (Tuesday), and returned about a quarter to ten o'clock again, in a drunken state. The deceased was gone to bed, and ho proceeded directly up stairs. Words ensued immediately after he entered the bed-room, and in a few minutes afterwards Mrs. Brown heard the deceased cry " Murder." She opened her door, and asked what was the matter, but received no answer. She shut and locked it, and got into bed. The cry did not alarm her, as they were in the constant habit of quarrelling. After that time she heard nothing more, and fell asleep. About a quarter to five o'clock yesterday- morning Mrs. Brown. • states that she was awoke by the man Hall going down stairs. At half past eight o'clock yesterday morning the woman Brown went to the door of the deceased's bed-room to call her up, and, having knocked at the door several times without receiving any answer, she opened it. The deceased appeared to be in a sound sleep, but when Mrs. Brown went to the bedside for the purpose of awakening her she was horror-struck at find ing her dead, with her face and neck dreadfully discoloured, as if she had died in strong convulsions. This person was too much affrighted to remain longer in the room, and im mediately ran for Mrs. Veal, the deceased's sister-in-law, who lives opposite. Mrs. Veal, after having seen the de ceased, ran instantly for Dr. Bright, who with his partner, Mr. Fennell, immediately attended. Dr. Bright stated that ho found the deceased lying on her right side in the middle of the bed, apparently in a deep slumber. The bed had not been lain on on either side of her, nor had the clothes, so far as he could judge, been disar ranged. The deceased had her left arm resting on her cheek, her eyes were closed, and her mouth was only partly open. There was no distortion of any of the features, but the face and neck were of a livid appearance. Such appearances would be produced by strangulation, and also by natural causes, such as an attack of apoplexy. Dr. Bright thinks that if the deceased was murdered it was by strangulation, by means of a pillow placed over her face, and pressed tightly down, and not by the grasping of or compressing the throat with the hand. It is extremely probable that the instrument of death was a pillow, as one was found lying by her side. Dr. Bright says that he cannot give a decided opinion as to the cause of death, until he has made a post mortem exami nation of the body. It is a somewhat singular circumstance, that the child who slept in the room was never heard to cry during the night, and was found fast asleep yesterday morning. A labouring man, named Penner, who lives next door to deceased, said that, between ten and eleven o'clock on Tues day night, he heard her scream "Murder" several times, but thought nothing of it, as deceased and her husband were constantly quarrelling. Sergeant Golding, 13 V, who is the acting inspector for the district, has been most assiduous in his inquiries amongst the surrounding neighbourhood, but he has only been enabled to trace out one person who saw him—a man of the name of Booth, who states that he met him about five o'clock, near to the South-Western Railway station He did not stop there, however, but turned off into the Mitcham road; he had his basket of tools slung to his back. Booth, who knew that Hall was employed at Garrard-lodge, Putney-park, thought it a singular circumstance that he should be going in an op posite direction, and apparently to work. The presumed criminal had often spoken of its being his intention to go to France; and, it is supposed, that when met by Booth, he was making his way to the Croydon station of the Dover Railway. The most active exertions are being made to trace out the alleged murderer, and Inspector Pearce, of the Detective, is especially employed. Information has been forwarded to Mr. Carter, the coroner. ELLA'S REUNION MUSICALE. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Major Stephens, honoured Mr. Ella with his presence yester day, to hear the boy-violinist, Joachim, lead quartets and quintets. One of the latter, by Mozart, in G minor, which we recorded some weeks ago as a mas t er l y trial of sight playing, was beautifully interpreted; the frequent recurrence of minor ninths, in the lovely phrases which pervade the first movement, were accented with nerve which touched the very heart of the auditor; whilst the adagio was given with finely sustained and beautifully modified tone, expressive of the tenderest sentiment, admirably contrasted by the sparkling and elegant soft allegro, in which his abandon and tempo rubato elicited frequeu • • of approbation from the Aoyal,Duke and. auk bed artists. This quintet was succeeded by the fifth quartet of Beethoven, in A. con taining the most perfect thema that ever emanated from a great composer, in the variations of which Joachim revelled in every variety of style—of bowing, fingering, postimento, and expression. In both these pieces he was ablyseconded by Messrs. Goffrie, Hill, Guynemene, and Hausman. The seance terminated with a solo on the violin, composed and executed by Monsieur Sainton, a French artiste, who some years ago gained a first prize at the Conservatoire. For faultless intonation, and mastery over most compli ca t e d music, he may fairly take his stand with the other eminent violinists now in London. Thepiece we heard him perform, we suspect, is better calculated for a large room, as he quite overpowered us by the force of his tone, which has all the breadth of Lindley's tone on the violoncello, and produced partly by physical pressure. We shall be anxious to hear him in some other style of music, although that which was performed is well written to exhibit the various resources of the vi o lin, and was ably accompanied by Salaman on th e piano.We were well pleased to witness the hearty greeting of the Royal Duke, with the Gallant Lord Saltoun, whose aspect bespoke him nothing the worse for his Chinese expe dition. There were also present their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe, the Earls of Cawdor and Falmouth, the Dowager Lady Rivers, and the Hon. Mrs. Bruce, the Ladies Saltoun, Macdonald, Quentin, De Bathe ; Sir G. Clerk, Sir A. Macdonald, one of the Maids of Honour in Waiting, and about sixty other amateurs, well known for their musical attainments—not omitting to mention the ac complished Mrs. Sartoris, who seemed to share an equal de light with Mr. Ella. in perusing the score of Mozart's quintet. Amongst the eminent artists we observed Costa, Dobler, Sivori, Rousselott, Puzzi, Kialmark, and Dragonetti. As these reunions are strictly devoted to a species of music ex cluded from the programmes of the speculative concerts of the season, we hope to see other eminent artists follow the generous example of Mendelssohn, Ernst, and the prodigy, Joachim ; and whilst they obtain golden opinions from the million, before their departure from our shores, they will have bequeathed to a " fit audience—the few "—a legacy of musi cal intellectuality for the quiet enjoyment of English ama teurs of refined and cultivated tastes. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. BUNN The presentation of the piece of plate subscribed for by the friends and admirers of Mr. Bunn in his pri vate and public career, took place last night, or to speak more correctly, this morning, in the saloon of Drury-lane Theatre, after a large company assembled on the occasion had partaken of an elegant supper pro vided for their entertainment. The chair on this occasion was to have been taken by Lord Chesterfield, but that nobleman was unfor tunately prevented from being present by indisposi tion, which was notified to the company by Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, who took his place after an apology for his insufficiency to fill the office originally assigned to the Noble Lord. The healths of the Queen, Prince Albert, and the other members of the Royal Family, having been drunk, and followed by " God save the Queen" and an appropriate glee by the vocalists present, The CHAIRMAN, in a short speech, explained the object for which the company were convened, and pronounced a panegyric on Mr. Bunn's character as the manager of the theatre. Mr. B. B. CABBELL then presented the piece of plate, which was placed before him, to Mr. Bunn, ob. serving that it was but a slight testimony of the re spect which he felt, in common with many others, for his talents and for his exertions in the cause of the drama.

The health of Mr. Bunn was then drank with the honours, after which that gentleman returned thanks in a very appropriate manner for the honour con ferred upon him, and contrasted the success of the theatre under his management with the failure and losses sustained by those who assumed the title of legithnatists. Mr. Bunn having concluded amidst long and loud cheering, a g l ee, adapted to the occasion, was sung; after which several other toasts were given and drunk, the company keeping up the fes tivity till what is termed a late hour. The piece of plate was manufactured by Messrs. Catchpole and Williams, of Regent-street, and weighs upwards of 500 ounces. The following is the description of it, handed to the guests at the supper : " This testimonial consists of a mas3ive and elabo rately chased candelabrum and Epergne united, com opiopsred-shoafdaocmoilnugman group p y oofrnemambelenmteadti h cal figfoulrieasg,evainzd., a full-length of Apollo and Sylvan Nymphs, executed in frosted silver, intended to represent those delight ful arts which Mr. Bunn has so successfully pro moted.

REMOVAL OF. THE OFFICES.—The Guardians of the Strand Union hare decided upon remov ing their offices of business from Surrey-street, in the Strand, to premises near the Police-court, in Bow-street. This de cision has been forced on them, as the Duke of Norfolk, the noble owner of the property, has objected to having offices of business, of a description such as is included in the affairs of a Poor-law Union, carried on amongst his tenants. No doubt this has been represented to him by his agents, as being inimical to the highly respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood, as the constant applications at the office— the disreputable and noisy characters who apply—the obscene and low language used, and the almost daily breaking of windows, cannot but be a nuisance of great magnitude. The new offices are to be in a large house next door but one to the Bow-street Police-court., and next to Covent-gardeu Theatre—and although it is not so commodious as the excel lent premises in Surrey-street, yet for the transaction of busi ness it will be much preferable. The station-house being just opposite, will have a great effect in preventing riotous appli cants, and in all cases coining before the Magistrate of the Police-court, immediate applications can be made to the parish authorities for information. Petty sessions will be held as usual in the offices, by county magistrates, for the hearing of affiliation cases, appeals against rates, &c. The removal will take place almost immediately. FATAL ACCIDENT AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE.— Yesterday, about one o'clock, a deplorable occurrence took place at Blackfriars-bridge, which ended in the almost instant death of a lad named James Keen, aged ten years, the son of a shoemaker living in Plough -court, Fetter-lane. At the time above-stated, the attention of the police on duty on the bridge was called to a truck, on which were six men in a tipsy state, who were being drawn with ropes, of which the deceased had one, down the declivity of the bridge on the Surrey side. The velocity with which they descended the hill was too much for the boys to control, and when opposite Silcock's wine-vaults the truck struck against young Keen, who was unable to get out of the way, and being thrown down the wheel passed over his neck and severely lacerated the face. He was taken up streaming with blood, and con veyed to the surgery of Mr. Doubleday, in the Blackfriars road, but he was found to be quite dead, arising from frac ture of the vertebrae. The men were taken into custody, and the body removed to Christchurch workhouse to await the re sult of an inquest. ARRIVAL OF THE GIBRALTAR MAILS.—SOUTHAMF , TON, MAY 29.—At half-past seven o'clock this evening the Peninsular Company's steam-ship Little Liverpool, Captain Evans, ai rived at her station in the docks, from Gibraltar, and landed her mails, which will be forwarded by the two o'clock, a.m., train to-morrow morning; the dates are Gibral tar, May 19 ; Cadiz, 20 ; Lisbon, 22 ; Oporto, 23 ; and Vigo, 24. The Liverpool has thirty-five passengers, a full cargo of fruit, and some specie. The Great Liverpool, Captain M'Leod, will leave the docks for Alexandria on Monday, the 3d, instead of the I s t o f J une . Th e R oya l W es t I n d ia mail packet, the Trent, will go out of dock on her outward voyage to the West Indies on Monday next. Our intelligence from Portugal to the 22d brings an account of the further proro gation of the Cortes to the end of September. The troops commanded by the Baron de Leiria had returned to Lisbon from Almeida, and 300 of those of Bomffin, who had surren dered on terms, had been sent to the Azores, ultimately des tined for the coast of Africa. SUICIDE.—Mr. Baker yesterday held an inq ues t at the London Hospital, on the body of Sussanah Day, aged 86, a widow, residing at 24, Skinner-street, Bishopsgate. Iler son said that she was very much afflicted with spasms in the stoMach, and that at times they were so painful as t o d r i ve her to distraction. On Friday morning he went out with some work he had finished, leaving her in bed. On his re turn, to his great surprise, he found her sitting on a chair covered with blood, and on close examination he found that she had severed her throat with his razor. He procured as sistance, and she was promptly taken to that hospital. Air. D. Carter, house-surgeon, said deceased wa s a d m i tted with a wound in the throat, four inches long and two deep, and completely dividing the wind-pip e an d gullet. It was im possible for her to survive, and she died in a few hours. Verdict, " Temporary insanity." By Fitz-Boodle, .0. The Poet's Life. .1.

The half-yearly festival of the above incorporated chari table Society was held at the Freemasons' Hall last night. At six o'clock a select party sat down to a dinner furnished in the handsome style matters of that kind are usually set out by Mr. Bacon, the urbane proprietor of the establishment. The Right Hon. the Earl Dalhousie took the chair, and he was supported right and left by Lord Elibank (one of the Lords of Session in S co tl an d), Sir J. C. Hobliouse, Sir W. Burnett, K.C.8., Colonel Sir R. Doherty, Lieutenant. Go vernor of St. Vincent's; Colonel Alves, Colonel Hughes, Colonel 3PLean, Major Stack, Captain M'Kie, Captain Chrich ton, Captain Eastwick, P.M. Stewart, Esq., M.P., &c. Grace having been said by the Rev. Alexander M'Glashan, and the dinner having been discussed, " Benedictus" was beautifully sung by Messrs. Jolly, Young, and Ransford, assisted by Masters Force and Henderson. The usual loyal toasts hay ing been responded to most enthusiastically, The Noble CHAIRMAN proposed "The Scottish Hospital, and Prosperity to it." In such a company he need scarcely say that the hospital deserved the warmest support. It had the highest claim upon Scotchmen, because its usefulness amongst the poorest classes of their countrymen had been tested by a long course of years • it had been in exist ence upwards of two centuries, and hadi been incorporated for use ful purposes for nearly the same period; it had long been supported by many of the noblest names in the history of the country, and he was proud that he was the instrument of adding another illustrious name to the list of its bene factors. That morning he had received a communication from his Royal Highness Prince Albert, desiring that his name might be put down as a subscriber to the funds of the Institution for 50 guineas.—(Loud cheers.) The Institution had afforded pensions to 80 poor Scotchmen—had furnished 60 more with the means of returning to their native country, and had relieved in London near 4,000 more—(Cheers)—who were in distressed circumstances. After jocularly remarking upon the many places in which Scotchmen were to be found, he said he hoped the proverbial nature of his country-man ' of hanging together when ab roa d, wou ld not d esert t h em in Lon don, but that all present would afford the Society the means of benefiting those of their countrymen who were not so blessed by fortune in what might be called a foreign land. The toast having been duly responded to, Major Adair (the Secretary) read a list of the subscrip tions, amounting to 493/. Amongst the donators were, her Majesty, W. ; the Queen Dowager, 50/. ; the Duke of Sutherland, 501. ; the Noble Chairman, 25/. ; Lord Elibank, 10/. 10s. ; Sir J. C. llobhouse, 10/. 10s.; the Lord Advocate, 10!. 10s., &c. TO LADIES. ROWLAND'S ,KALYDOR. 1 his Royally Patronized and universally adopted Specific is a balmy, odoriferous, creamy composed chiefly of extracts rom the most rare flowers and herbs of an Eastern clime, and per fectly free from all mineral a mixture. It e' erts the most soothing, gentle, cooling, and purifying action on the skin ; ,rid by its agency on the pores and minute secretory vessels, dispels .11 impurities from the surface, allays every tendency to inflammation, and thus most effectual y dissipates all redness, tan, pimples, blotches, spots, freckle:, and other cutaneous visitations. The radiant bloom it im parts to the cheek, and the softness and delicacy it induces on the hands, arms, and neck, render it indispensable to every toilet. It affords immediate relief in cases of sun-burn, stings of insects, or incidental inflammation. , "The Health of the President (the Duke of Sutherland) and the other Officers of the Society" having been given and duly and enthusiastically responded to, the meeting broke up soon after ten o'clock. During the evening the company were amused by several songs by Mr. Young, who was no mean substitute for Mr. Wilson, who bad been expected. They were also regaled by many tunes on the national bagpipe, which Ivan beauti fully played by Macbeth, the piper to the D u k e o f Suther land, his brother, the piper of Captain Stewart, and an amateur. Several national airs were also played by the band of the Coldstream Guards, to the great amusement of a large company of ladies, who witnessed the festivities from the gallery. Altogether the company, which was more select than numerous, seemed highly pleased with the evening's en tertainment.

"CHARLES ROWLAND, Harbour-master." The LORD 11Arou said the account supplied by the har bour-master very clearly showed how completely the plan for keeping up the price of coals, by withholding the sale of the article, was acted upon by the owners and their agents, who cared nothing about the bad consequences to the public or to the crews they employed, so that they succeeded in their ob ject of increasing the price. He should meet them with a plan calculated to defeat their exertions. There were three market days allowed, and every ship which refused to sell within the specified time—namely, the duration of the three ' market days—should be compelled to move out of the sections and below Gravesend, altogether out of the mayoralty juris diction. Captain ROWLAND said the ships were presumed to be in the market the moment they arrived, and their papers were all regularly given in at the time. The LORD MAYOR—And yet they refuse to sell unless at an enormous price, and they detain these poor men without paying them for the unreasonable period of their detention, to tha serious injury of their families. Of this unfair and improper conduct I shall certainly do all I can to prevent the continuance. The colliers shall not make a warehouse of the Thames. It is quite absurd to suppose that they would remain forty or fifty days in the river with out meaning to remunerate themselves for the delay by drawing upon the public. It is my instruction to you, Captain Rowland, to intimate to the captains of all colliers which come into London, that if they refuse to sell within the three market days, they must remove out of the bounds, of my jurisdiction altogether. WRECK OF THE RESOLUTION.—Captain Rowland, he harbour-master of Greenwich, reported to the Lord Mayor, that according to orders from his Lordship, through Captain Fisher, he had raised the wreck of the Resolution, and landed her safely on Bankam's Hard, at Gravesend. On Saturday last the work was completed, and the Government stores and lighters returned to the officers at Woolwich dock yard. The vessel was loaded with 200 tons of coal, and sank in the river, about a mile and a half below Tilbury Fort, in four fathoms water, in February, 1843, directly in the course of all vessels navigating, both on the flood and ebb against tide, and on which the Jane Sheriff; Vigilant, Dorset, and many other vessels, have struck and been injured. His Lord ship observed, that the wreck of the Resolution had been re moved in a most masterly and satisfactory manner, and ho hoped for the future that all sunken vessels would be weighed and entirely removed from the navigable water-way, and not be blown into fragments, injurious to the anchorages and to the nets of the poor fishermen. A circular is in private circulation, entittled " Proposed Equitable Tax on the Transfer of Real Property in place of the Income-tax." The writer estimates th e en tire property of England at 6,186,000,0001., and proposes that all real property should be taxed with the probate and legacy duty. The produce of such duty would, he thinks, be about 12,000,000/. annually. Were his idea adopted, he says that Sir Robert Peel might dispense with the income-tax, and still have a much larger revenue than he has at present. IMPROVEMENT OF THE QUADR 4 NT,REG ENT-STREET. —Our readers may have perceived the special constables, or beadle, in handsjme green uniform, in the Quadrant for the last t IS) months. We are credibly informed that a great deal of good bas been effected by the Quadrant Improvement Society in removing the outward nuisances that existed in an intole rable degree in that beautiful street. The inhabitants a emsel res have come forward in a very liberal manner with the means for effecting so desirable an object. The carriages of the nobility and gentry can now atop in the Quadrant without the owners being annoyed by dog-fanciers, flower-girls, &c.. and ladies may now pass up and down the Quadrant without being shocked at the vicious conduct and disgusting language that it was hardly possible to avoid seeing and hearing dur ing any part of the day. The special constables have autho rity to take any one into custody who are found in the Quadrant using bad language, vending flowers, dogs, and knives. The Society are determined to remove the owners of all objectionable businesses in the Quadrant, agreeable to the tenure of the leases from the Woods and Forests. ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF BEATJFORT.—A 111- mour reached us yesterday evening that his Grace the Duke of Beaufort had met with an accident of a nature so serious as to give cause for alarm as to its consequences among his Grace's numerous personal and political friends. On in quiry we learned that while enjoying his usual ride yesterday afternoon in Hyde-park, his Grace was suddenly thrown from his horse, and fell upon his head. Though much stunned and shaken by the fall his Grace was assisted by the Honourable Captain Forrester, M.P., who witnessed the accident, into the carriage of Dr. James B. Thompson, who was passing at the time, and conveyed to his mansion in Ar lington-street. His Grace was immediately, as well as sub sequently, attended by Dr. Thompson, when it was found that no serious injury had been sustained. At a late hour last night the patient, though of course much bruised, was going on favourably. • which huiTHEsceh haveEw h l c o h si oicl cl:ldlrrobesiedtTanE:i,mlp.a—rcete _, SHOCKING A CClD tah E ee N ci T edaern A etl T se pre vious uese consequence of e f f ro t m h e of the swords worn by several of the boys, it has been con!- , templated by the authorities to interdict their being used altogether, or to compel those who furnish them to provide them with wooden blades. Had this salutary precaution been adopted on Tuesday last, the painful and lamentable accident to which we are about to refer would have been avoided. On the morning of the Montem, between 9 and 10 o'clock, two boys, pupils in the establishment of the Rev. W. L. Elliot, one of the assistant-masters, amused them.- selves by fencing with their dress swords ; when, by an unlucky movement, one of them named Fox, a line lad about 17 years of age, received the point of the sword of his fellow pupil his right eye. Mr. Chapman, surgeon, of Windsor, was immediately in attendance, who, from the dangerous nature of the wound, lost no time in proceeding by the rail way to London with the sufferer to consult with Mr. Tyrrell, the eminent surgeon, on the case. We regret to state that the sight was found to be totally and irrecoverably destroyed, the sword having completely divided the iris. The unfortu • pate youth is still suffering the greatest pain ; but it is con fidently hoped that the sight of the other eye, which is much affected, will, through the skilful care and attention of his medical adviser, Mr. G. Chapman, be preserved. ONE LONDON WATERMAN AGAINST A Foult- OARED FLEMISII CREW.—The boat-race on Monday between Robert Newell, of Battle-bridge-stairs, and four Flemish watermen, with a coxswain, terminated, contrary to general expectation, in favour of the latter. It will be remembered that the same parties contended about a month since, when Newell was declared the winner by a very considerable dis tance, but as the opposing party attributed their defeat to the size of their boat, and were desirous of having another trial, 0- a match was made for 401. aside. The former race had bees rowed from Ostend to Bruges, a distance of twelve miles, but on the present occasion the starting and winni ng p os t s were reversed. When Newell could contrive to keep under the shelter of the land he made good way, but otherwise he was !ouch tossed about to stand a chance, and ultimately lost by two minutes, the Flemish crew performing the distance in one hour and fifty-three minutes. Robert Coombes, the champion, as before, ran along the towing-path, and kept pace with his companion, in order to be of assistance to him at the coming in. Immediately after the race, an English gentleman offered to back Newell again for 100/. ; but the offer was not accepted. It is but justice to the Flemish men to state that they behaved with great kindness to the two Londoners, and made them a present on their departure. THE PITMEN'S STRIKE.—We understand that up wards of forty men have left the Pitmen's Union, at South Iletton and Murton Collieries, and that twenty-one men have clone the same at Oakwellgate Colliery. These facts, for which we have good authority, show that the sensible por tion of the pitmen are becoming convinced of the hopeless ness of the present strike : indeed, if the interested leaders in their pay were put out from amongst them, there cannot be a doubt that this deluded body of men would immediately resume their employment, on the liberal terms proposed by the coal-owners.

RECENT TESTIMONIALS. "I am highly satisfied with your Gold and Lacquer Detergents. E hope to recommend them to some of my friends, as they answer so well, especially the Gold Detergent."—From the Right Hon. C. D'Eyn court, M.P. " We first tried the Gold Detergent on a costly looking-glass frame that had been a few years gilt. It removed the whole of the fly spots, the dust, and stains, and the frame has now the appearance and bril liancy of the day it left the workman's hands. Next on two very old frames—from their colour we were almost in doubt whether they were gilded or not. The Detergent soon convinced us of the fact, by removing the accumulated stains and tarnish of many years ; these frames have uow the appearance of being nearly new."—Liverpool Chronicle, Jan. 27, 1844. " We have tried the Gold Detergent upon several old picture frames, and must confess we were very agreeably surprised at the result for it restores the splendour of gilding with very little trouble. A single bottle is more than sufficient for all the picture and looking glass frames in a moderate-sized house."—Vide Nottingham Review, April 5, P. 144.

DEPARTMENT OP MEDICAL STATISTICS—WiIiiaM Farr, Esq., General Register Office. ACTUARY—.F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. This Office is provided with very accurately constructed tables, by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms. Similar tables enable the Society to grant increased annuities on unsound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease. Members of consampti►e families assured at equitable rates. Healthy lives are assured on lower terns than at most ether offices. The first Life Assurance Society commenced business in 1705, and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So_ ciety in 1841 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of persons who suffer from disease. The science of statistics has only within a recent period been successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in. formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office, is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that on healthy lives. It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in common with ether offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons, it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons labouring under disease ; and to this latter feature particular atten tion is directed. In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than all other offices can have unitedly; and in the Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more permanent foundation. These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease. The period of life most important to an assurance office is that be tween 15-60 years of age, and in the following remarks we refer exclusively to this period of life. It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that more than one-third of the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva lence of a single disease ; and if the same inquiry were instituted with respect to other diseases, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases) f the head, heart, &c., it would be found that more than one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—ln Bir. mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 1,988, forming considerably more than one.third of the whole. The same thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and from six important diseases, 9,754; in the latter case forming more than 42 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. On reference to the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 it will be found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being more than 45 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but whicb, en a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since it thug appears that a majority of the population is included in this class, the ♦alue and importance of the new feature of this society cannot fail to be justly appreciated. The second point to be explained is the fact that there is much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and deserves to be carefully considered. The real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its caculations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation of mortality, and will be found to be much less among diseased lives than over the general population, and among selected lives. The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are sufficiemly near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the matter to figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only 9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in consumption was only one-fltth of the other ; and in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute in its results than that which regulates the general population. Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi dered more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question under consideration; but the same test has been applied to a great number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c., the fluctuation was only 7i per eet.t., and in five diseases in a different district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation did not exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns fat England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important diseases was 64 per cent. The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality in disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole range of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be depended on. It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in England and Scotland, as well as to many rural districts in Eng land, and included the experience of one or two large societies of select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the effects of locality and_ its sanatory condition en the duration of life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, viz., that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun try districts than in large cities; but that of these persons who suffer front disease the value of life is nearly the same. As an, example of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country districts is 36.7 years; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years—diffe rence 33 per cent. nearly; but take the case of persons of that age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will ultimately die of consumption, and their expectati.n of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14 . 5, in cities (Glasgow) 14 , 1, and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir mingham, 13'9 ; difference 017 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It therefore appears that while the difference between country and town life in the former eaze is about 33 per cent., that in the latter instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the results nearly uniform. The same thing hokls good with some other diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. This fact, although not generally understood, is only what might have been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in. fluenced by external circumstances. It hence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased lives is much lees than among select lives and the population gene rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be lees. To apply this conclusion t• the affairs of an assurance office, it may be stated, that supposing the number of lives in a society, taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would indicate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have always sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths; on the other hand, an office assuring only diseased lives need not provide for more than 109 deaths per annum; that is t• say, the risk of assuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45, or only one fifth. This fact is highly important to the interests of this Society, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctness of the principles on which it Is founded. For further information, reference is made to the prospectuses and other published docuev.mts of the Society, which may be ob. tained on application at the Society's offices. F. G. P. NEISON.

FOREIGN. The King and Queen of the French, accompanied by the Duke de Nemours and the Prince de Joinville, paid another visit, on Monday, to the Exhibition of 'National Industry. Their Majesties, on this occasion, examined the musical in struments and the different articles of furniture, and put several questions to the exhibitors. They also inspected a great variety of other articles, and expressed their high ap probation of the skill displayed by the makers. The Royal party remained at the exhibition from half-past one till a quarter past five, and then left for Neuilly, amid the accla mations of the crowd, who had assembled on the outside of the building. The funeral of 111. Laffitte was fixed for Thursday, not Wednesday, as stated in some of the papers, and would pro bably be attended by nearly all the Members of the Chamber of Deputies. He is said to have died very rich, notwith standing the great losses he sustained in 1831. He has also, it is said, left political memoirs, with correspondence, and secret memoirs extending from 1828 to 1832. M. Charles Laffitte has been returned for the fourth time to the Chamber of Deputies, by the electors of Louviers. The Moniteur publishes a report - 1n Ike King from the Minister of Justice and Public Worsh4r.en-the necessity of regulating the mode o f establishing Jewish consistories in France, the election of their rabbis, &c. It is followed by a royal ordonnance of great length, fixing the various points connected with this subject. By this ordormance a consis tory is to be established in each department where the Jewish population amounts to 2,000, and where this is not the case the number is to be made up from the adjoining de partment or departments. The central consistory is to be in Paris. The Staoueli, CaptainDubois, arrived at Havre on Monday morning, from the Havannah, whence she departed on the 14th ult. Captain Dubois confirms the news brought by the English papers of the discovery of a censpiracy among the blacks. A great number of arrests continued to be made at the Havannah, and several British agents, says the Journal de Havre, suspected of having encouraged the conspiracy by their imprudent discourses, if not of having taken an active part, were involved. We red - intlre - Journal de Toulouse :—" We learn from an undoubted source that Father Lopez passed through Bordeaux, on Monday last, on his way to Madrid, making known to several personages of consideration at Bordeaux belonging to the 'artist party, that he was com missioned by Don Carlos to declare his readiness to abdicate his sovereign rights in favour of his eldest son. This fact foretels a happy conclusion to the project of marriage between Queen Isabella and the Prince of the Asturias." "The King of Saxony," says the France, has just given orders to the authorities of his kingdom not to give the title of Highne, , s to the Dukes of Saxe Coburg Gotha and An halt. Similar directions have been given by the King of Prussia to the authorities of his kingdom, who might have any intercourse with th e principalities in question." On the occasion of the opening of the railway between Hanover and Brunswick, about a fortnight since, the King of Hanover gave a grand dinner at his Palace, to which no fewer than 700 guests were invited. LAW AND POLXCD. On Wednesday a special sessions for the Edgware division of the county of Middlesex took place at the Chandos Arms Inn, Edgware, before Major Abbs, Chairman, and Messrs. Phillimore, B. Rotch, Burchell, R. Shuter, Hooper, and Carter, Magistrates, acting in and for that division of the county, for the purpose of hearing and determining two in formations laid at the instance of Mr. William Foster Smith, a resident of Hendon, and a freeholder of the county, against the Rev. Theodore Williams, Vicar of Hendon, and a county magistrate, under the Police Act (2d and 3d Victoria, cap. 47, sec. 54). The informations were read by Mr. Tootell, the clerk, which went to show that the rev, defendant had on certain occasions used threatening, abusive, and insulting words to the complainant on the Queen's highway, with in tent to provoke a breach of the peace. After evidence had been heard Major Abbs addressed the rev. defendant, and said, " the majority of the Magistrates being satisfied that the case is proved against you, they fine you in the penalty of 405., with costs." A the Thames police-court, Richd. Bragger, John Horsted, Alexander Nicholson, Mary Ann Ash, Rosetta Bragger, and George Bragger, were again brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with the wilful murder of Luke Williams, late pro prietor of the Chequers public-house, in Wapping-wall, and robbing him of 301., in the dwelling-house of the prisoner Nicholson, and after an investigation of four hours, were re manded till Wednesday. At Marlborough -street Mr. William Guillian Slack, a so licitor, was charged on the police sheet with having at tempted to suffocate three respectable ladies, named Hughes. It appeared that the ladies were lodgers in the house ofa Miss Danner, in South Audley-street, and hajl received notice to quit, but having failed to do so the defendant went to the house and insisted upon their immediate removal. Not suc ceeding he went down stair s , and began a, great disturbance in the house. the - heard him cofOili pair ofelogain order _that he might 'make more clatter— in running up and down stairs.- The defendant caused a stove to be procured, in which a fire was kindled, and a quantity of sulphur and similar suf. focating ingredients were placed in a tin pot and put on the fire on the stove. The stove was then placed at the foot of the stairs leading to Miss Hughes's apartments, and the re sult was, that the house soon became filled with a dense smoke, and Miss Hughes and her two sisters were nearly choked -by the fumes, which forced their way into the apartment. Mr. Hardwick ordered the defendant to find good bail to answer the charge at the sessions, and in addi tion to enter into his own recognizances for double the amount of bail. COURT--. WJAIMIONABLia • Prince Albert has become Vice-Patron of the Royal Geo graphical Society, vacant by the death of the Duke of Sus sex. His Royal Highness honoured Mr. Murchison, the President, with a visit yesterday in Belgrave-square, to in spect the vase and plateau presented to him by the Emperor of Russia. The Duke of Wellington returned to Apsley House yester day afternoon, from Strathfieldsaye. The Marquis and Mar chioness of Douro, Lord Charles Wellesley, the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Wellesley, Right Hon. C. Arbuthnot, and the other visitors who have been staying with the Duke during the holidays, also returned to town in the course of the afternoon. The Marquis and Marchioness of Waterford have arrived at Mivart's Hotel, from their seat in Ireland. The Countess of Cawdor and Lady Mary Campbell are ex pected in South .Audley-street in a few days, from Desart Castle, where they h ave b een on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Desart. The Earl and Countess of Leicester are passing the season at Holkam Hall, and are not expected to return to town until next year. DUS CIMI.A.IgEOuS.. A woman named Charlotte Hall, the wife of a plasterer, was found dead in bed in her house, in Church-street, Wim bledon, yesterday morning, and from the appearances pre sented by the body there is reason to fear that she had been strangled. The husband could not be found, and the follow ing notice, in consequence, has been issued by the Commis sioners of Police Absconded, at half-past five o'clock this morning, from Church-street, Wimbledon, leaving his wife in bed dead, from strangulation, a plasterer, between five feet t en inches and six feet in h e i ght, fair complexion, brown hair, no whisker, a down l oo k with forbidding aspect, and his mouth awry. He carries his head on one side. He is 40 years of age, and was dressed in a coarse blue pilot coat, with pockets in front, a fustian pipe-clayed round jacket underneath, slate coloured trousers, and Blucher boots. He is remarkable for always carrying his pocket-handkerchief in the left breast of his coat or jacket." Some of the neighbours heard her scream " Murder" about 11 o'clock the previous night. A numerous meeting of members ofthe Established Church, Presbyterians, Indepe n d ents, Wesleyan Methodists, Baptists, and other orthodox Dissenters, took place in Exeter-hall, for the purpose of adopting such measures as might be consi dered necessary to prevent th e enactment of the Dissenters' Chapels Bill recently introduced into Parliament by the Lord Chancellor, and now awaiting its second reading in the House of Commons. Resolutions in accordance with the object of the meeting were unanimously adopted. It is a curious fact that Lord Lyndhurst has passed a Bill through the House of Lords which pleases nobody. The eighth concert of Ancient Music took place last night, under the direction of his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, for the Earl of Westmoreland. The performances require no specification. The boat• race on Monday, from Ostend to Bruges, between Robert Newell, of Battle-bridge-stairs, and four Flemish watermen, with a coxswain, terminated, contrary to general expectation, in favour of the latter. He lost only, however, by two minutes. It is but justice to the Flemish men to state, that they behaved with great kindness to the two Londoners, and made them a present on their departure. LTERATION in the DEPARTURE of the MAILS. Very great inconvenience having been sustained, not only by the commercial interests, but by the public generally, in consequence of the mails for India, &c., being dispatched fron this country previous to the arrival of the Overland Mail, by reason of which those persons who had correepom dents in India could not reply to their advices for at least a month—to remedy this evil the following arrangement has been made by command of the Postmaster-General, notice of which was put up yesterday morning at the General Post office and the several branch offices " General Post-office, May, 1844.
