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 consumptive families assured at equitable rates. Healthy lives are assured on lower terms than at most ether offices. The first Life Assurance Society eommenced 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. 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 of 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—in 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. Oa 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 which, on a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since it thus appears that a majority of the population is included in this class, the value 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 Le 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 he 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 sufficiensly 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-fifth 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 appied to a great number of other diseases, and like results obtaincd. 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 71 per cent., 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 town■ in England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important diseases was 6 , 1 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 • one or two large societies of select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the effects of locality and its sanatory condition on 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 from 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 ; ir. 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 , Qs of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, an 4 Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5, in cities (Glasgow) 14.4, 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 ease is about 33 per cent., that In the latter instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the results nearly uniform. The same thing holds 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 less than among select lives and the population gene_ rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be less. To apply this conclusion to the afthirs of an assurance effice, it may be stated, that supposing the number of lives in a society, ►aking 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 to say, the risk of assuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45, or only one.flfth. 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 documents of the Society, which may be ob. toned en application at the Society's offices. F. G. F. NEISON, Actuary.

THE CHARACTERS IN " CONINGSBY."—A key that fairly unlocks the mystery of the various real characters who figure in " Coningsby," must certainly be considered a desideratum by the reading public ; for though the Tapers and Tadpoles of that " true fiction" are so well known as to have already passed into a proverb—though the Earwigs, the Jugginses, the Jawster Sharps, and the Guy Floueceys are more than guessed at—though the Earl of Monmouth, the Earl of Eskdale, Lord Henry Sidney, and Lord Vere are staring likenesses (to use an artist's phrase)—and though the great Mr. Rigby him self—the chef d'reuvre of this unique gallery of portraits —is as clearly defined as if his " Right Honourable" name had been written under it—though all these por traits have been universally assigned to the original worthies who have unconsciously sat for them, there still remained at least fifty more, drawn from the life, which to the uninitiated must have continued nothing more than so many of those anonymous and annoying puzzles which perplex the visitors to the Royal Academy Exhi bition under the mysterious titles of " Portrait of a Gentleman." Which of all the half-dozen Hebrew mil lionaires is the brilliant and accomplished Sidonia ? Is it he of Naples—or he of Brusseles—or he of Paris ? Which of the reigning belles of the hour is the beautiful Edith ? Is it the exquisite Miss M—h ? The Duke of Agincourt—is he or is he not identical with " The Farmers' Friend ?" The proud,•stately, and forbidding Princess Lucretia—is she no other than the celebrated Madame Z—y ? Mr. Cassilis, with his corkscrew curls, his cosmetic complexion, and consummate waistcoat— can it be any other than George W-1 ? All these, and similar questions which people have been asking them selves, and one another, ever since the production of this extraordinary work, may now he considered as solved by " The Key to Coningsby," which has at length ap peared. CORK AND CASHEL RAILWAY.—We have just re ceived a communication from a gentleman in Dublin, from which we take the following :—" * * * I am sure you will be happy to hear that the Directors of the Great Southern arid Western Railway have agreed to un dertake the extensions to York and Limerick, whereby the whole line from Dublin will become one property. It is proposed to offer 8,000 shares at Par to the counties of Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, Clare, and Kerry, if ap plied for before the 15th of next month.—Cork Examiner. The Eastern Union Railway Company have actu ally set about their surveys for the continuation of their line to Norwich by Diss, with a branch to Bury. An Ips wich paper states that the proprietors of the Brandon line are at the same time contemplating aline to branch off at Atleborough to Diss, by which the distance from Nor wich to London will be reduced, as compared with the cir cuitous route by Ely, from 128 to 112 miles, and that the survey for this direct line is being made by Mr. Locke.— Crelms.ford Chronicle. A FACT FOR LORD DEVON.—We have a pretty little fact for the Commissioners—of 90 human beings turned off lands within twelve miles of this city.— Cork Examiner, PEEL'S ~ PILOT BALOON." It was clear, on the eve n i ng w h en S r Robert Peel, in the course f the debate brought onby Mr.Villiers's motion on the corn-laws, pledged himself in plainer terms than is his wont, to stand by the sliding-scale as it is at present constituted, that the country gentlemen were not altogether satisfied. Either there was something in the matter or the manner of the Minister which engendered doubts of his sin cerity at the very time when he appeared to be most in earnest ; and it is clear, from their organs of the press, that such feelings have been on the increase among them ever since. They have a strong conviction on their minds that their honest leader is busily at work preparing a mine beneath their feet, although it is still a problem to them when and how it may be sprung; and, for our part, we think that there is decidedly room for such doubts when we look at what is going forward at some of the agricultural meetings. Our readers will probably recollect the name of Mr. Christopher, once the too famous Mr. Dundas, of Ipswich, who earned for himself the JlM briquet of Peel's " Pilot Balloon" immediately after the last election. The circumstances were these : Amongst the loudest of the hustings pledge-givers to stand by the then corn-laws was this Mr. Christopher. He had even the calm effrontery—it was effrontery in a man who derives all his standing in society from having been lucky enough to marry a good fortune—to tell his constituents that, if Sir Robert Peel dared even to breathe a hint against the corn laws, down he should go again into private life with out ceremony. Well, this cool gentleman. was elected by the farmers, who were taken in by his matchless intrepidity. He was sent to Parliament to watch over the Tory Ministry, and to put it out, like a farthing rushlight, should it ever look treason at the corn monopoly. Not many months, however, elapsed before Mr. Christopher again made his appearance among the rural swains. What, in the meantime, hb s et ir w ß ee o n be h rt im , a a n n d d w t h h a e t Pm i ß er o , b w er h t at h h ad e lead ad said pass ed t o said to him, no one knows ; but, at all events, he as tonished the farmers, at this second meeting, by prophe sying of things to come, and assuring them that they would not be so bad, after all, for the agricultural inte rest. Hence his name of "the Pilot Balloon," inasmuch as the event, when Parliament again met, amply jus tified the surmise, launched at the moment by the Times newspaper, that Mr. Christopher was commis sioned by Sir Robert Peel, who, from the prefer ments showered upon his family, it is certain, had taken a strong liking to him, and had a very high opi nion of his judgment, to prepare the way among the country gentlemen and their tenantry for the changes which he was proposing. But what of all this ? IVho is Mr. Christopher, that we should so long dwell upon the doings of such a nil in public estima tion ? Only this. When we see a shadow, we fancy that the substance to which it belongs cannot be far off. When we hear the howling of the jackal, we expect that the roaring of the lion will presently begin. Mr. Christopher has again been talking, and in a style which makes us believe that he is again the avant courier and " utensil " of his worthy master. He is reported to have made the fol lowing ominous remark at the Horncastle agricul tural meeting, held last week :—" Improvements like those which this society promoted had reduced the price of wheat in forty years thirty per cent., leaving as good a profit to the cultivator as at the higher rate. This was the true way of promoting the welfare of all classes, which hurried and ex travagant legislation could never do." This is to be " the ticket," good Mr. " Pilot Balloon," is it ? Sir Robert is presently to tell the agriculturists, that the time for a further change is at last arrived ; that, judging of the future by the past, and calculating what improvements in agriculture can do by a reference to what they have effected, the British cultivator will be able still, as Mr. Christopher says, with fair profits, to sell his corn at such reduced prices that he need not fear the competition of foreigners. The wind points in that direction, we feel sure, and, before long, we shalt see the great " monster balloon" borne along by the same current in which "the pilot" is now sailing. Mr. Christopher is not a very clever person, but he has just small cunning enough not to commit himself to such things as we have quoted without having some body at his back to bear him through all scrapes into which his valorous marchinFr in the van of Mi 111bLe1 Lill LCI 8-11 f eI32ILIVII 0,11. We cannot say of the parties now before us, that Ulysses spoke, but Minerva prompted. We must rather put it, Christopher found the words, but Peel inspired the thoughts.—Liverpo o l Albion. " THE DUKE."—A veteran officer of the Peninsu lar war, and native of the town of Dunbar, applied lately to his old commander, the Duke of Wellington, for pro m idol' to his son, who h a d serve d a cons id era bl e time as ensign in the Regiment of Foot. In his letter he reminded the Duke of some particular action when he had signalised himself—i n fact, fought many o f th e ir battles oer again. By return of post he received a letter, regretting that it was not in his Grace's power to meet his wishes at the present time, as there were no vacan cies, but to be assured that nothing would afford him more gratification than to serve an old friend. The Duke kept his word, for in two posts after he received another letter, intimating his son's promotion to a Lieu tenancy in Regiment of Foot. Instances of this kind (which, we believe, are numerous), should be told. They are certainly as honourable to his Grace as they aro creditable to the officers who receive and deserve them. —Edinburgh Evening Post. WIIAT IS A MAN'S BODY WORTH.—This question was put 137 the Secondary, on Friday, in the course of a trial which took place bef ore him, under the following circumstances :—A surgeon of the name of Buchanan, residing at Ratcliff-cr.ss,' brought an action a person of the name of Cla r k, to recover a sum of about 41. for surgical attendance an d medicine. A s th e money w as not forthcoming, the plaintiff's s olicitor sent his clerk with a copy of against a a w rit, when Mr. Clark candidly said to him, " It is of no use your leaving me the copy of a writ, for I have two executions now in the house, and my body is all you can have." The Secondary , u pon this, asked the pl a i nt i ff ' s attorney what was now the value of a man's bod y ? it seemed that t h ey were only going to a great expense for nothing. Th e at torney said he feared such was the case, but the action had been commenced when the new law came into ope ration. In the same case a certificate was produced by the beadle of the A pothecaries' Company, in order to show Mr. Buchanan's right to practise, and upon which the. Secondary observ e d a very unusual endorsement, and inquired what it meant. The beadle said it was an authority to practise in the city of London. The Se condary thought all certificates were the same. The beadle said that certificates generally did not give per mission to practise near er t h an ten miles of London, but the en dorsement could be obtained upon the payment of a fee. The Secondary smiled at th e b us i ness -like habits of the Apothecaries' Company, and the matter ended. -- AP FGHANISTAN REPT lLms.—During the rainy season we were much annoyed by the number of snakes and rats which infested our bungalows.

On hear ing her scream, I rushed to the place, and soon with a stick dispatched the intruder. The opening of the drain, it appeared, had bee n p artiall y s topped u p by small • pieces of brick; but the reptile had still managed to ' squeeze himself through. When inside, he had caught and swallowed a musk-rat, which so considerably in creased his bulk that he could not make his retreat by the small hole through which he had entered, and thus lost his life through his gluttony. It is seldom that an European is bitten, although instances of very narrow escapes are constantly occurring. . . , . The common rats are nearly as great a plague [as the musk-rats.] During the whole night they will scuttle and scramble about the house, disturbing everybody by t h eir gambols. Their depredations, also, are Tost daring, and quite in the wholesale line. I remember once ing, at Ghazeepore, after a review, taking off my coat and accoutrements, and throwing them down on a sofa. From among the things a silk handkerchief and my dress sash were speedily missing. As the natives are very fond of silk articles, I naturally suspected that the servants had apprised stolen them; and, accor din g l y , the y were A L,unt, if the missing things were not found, their wages would he stopped to replace them. Some lays after this oc currence I discovered a rat-bole through the false screen in front of the fireplace, snd, on removing it, found not only the missing handkerchief and . sash, b u t a b out half a-dozen napkins and towels, which had b een l ost from time to time. These wer e all evidently carried thither and made into a bed by the rats. They must have taken the towels from off a wooden horse in my dressing-room, and dragged them across two other apartments to their hiding-place.—Lieut. Greenwood.

PREMIUMS ON THE DEATH OF CHILDREN. In the evidence of one of the physicians examined before the Commissioners of Inquiry into the state of large towns, &c., whose first report has just appeared; we observe these words :—" I used often to observe great apathy in a certain class about the death of their children. They did not seem to look on the death of the young as the great evil which it is com monly regarded ; they said, ' God took care of young children who died; that their death did not matter much ; that life was full of hardships and - misery, and that the child was provided for when it died.' This feeling I found to be rather c0mm0n."—(3,313, yr. 203). The picture here presented is true to nature so far as it goes ; but the shades in which it must be finished, we regret to say, are of a much deeper grain than those yet laid on. 'There is not merely indif ference among the labouring population of England in regard to the death of their children ; in some places there is a positive premium upon the event, and that to such an amount that instead of Dog-stealers' Bilis, and Chimney-sweepers' Bills, and Blacklegs' Bills, we shall, next session of Parliament, have to get some intelligent legislator to introduce a Bill to prevent English men and English women from being accessory, in cold blood, to the destruc tion of their own offspring! The new sacrifice to Moloch is perpetrated in this way : soon after a child is born, it is entered on the books of as many burying-clubs as the parents can command funds to pay for. The sums subscribed to each is but a few pence, or even half-pence, weekly ; so that parties being in full employment can some times afford to have the name on the register of ten or a dozen of these societies. And the investment may always be made a profitable one : the hapless child has but to be killed by exposure, by neglect and worse treatment, to give these unnatural "parents a claim upon the several societies of which they have en rolled their infant a member, to the extent in all, per haps, of 301., 401., and even 50/.! We feel the hot blood rising to our cheek, as the outward sense follows the pen that is fixing indelibly such statements as these, which will soon be before the public in all their revolting details, authenticated by the Commission whose first report is referred to above. What comment shall we make, what comment can he made, upon a state of society so horrible—a state of society in which one of the first and most power ful impulses of the human heart is set at nought ? Tigers and wolves give suck, and laying their savage natures by, tenderly wait upon and cherish their young. Man and woman, made more than wolf or tiger by force of circumstances, beget children in the prospect of deriving pecuniary advantage from their death I The difficulty of living, the recklessness that is en gendered by the pressure of vice and misery, and the daily and familiar contact with them, lead men first , to despise the laws of God, which are also those of, nature, and then to defy the laws of man—to set fire to the rick that contain the harvests which their own hands have toiled for and gathered, and so to de stroy in an hour the bounty of a year—to smother natural affection in their hearts, and doom their own flesh and blood to premature death, that they may have a fuller meal and a draught of beer the more ! Great God! is it not horrible ? What may be done to abate the fast accumulating load of guilt and in-, famy under which we must needs be whelmed if we sit supine ? We put it to our brethren to meditate this subject, and to use the light and information they so commonly possess for the illumination of those' among our men of rank and influence with whom, in the course of the holidays, so many of them aro brought into contact. Let them remind these our leaders that the time is not long gone by, when de fective legislation raised the price of a perishable hu man carcase to such a height, that it became a tempta tion to commit murder ; and that at one time sub jects were selected for the dissecting-room in the streets, just as sheep and oxen are selected for the shambles in the fields.—Medical Gazette. MEDICAL PROTECTION ASSEMBLY. A general meeting of the members of the Medical Protection Assembly was held yesterday afternoon at Exeter Hall, for the purpose of taking into consi deration the clauses of the Medical Reform Bill, lately introduced into the House of Commons by Sir James Graham. Several of the most distinguished members of the medical profession were present. J. C. CARPUE ' Esq., M.D., was called t o th e c h a i r . lie said that he had been a teacher, and had lived it) dissecting rooms and theatres for upwards of half a century.—(Cheers.) He hail attended colleges and schools of surgery in every part of Europe, and in all his travels he had not found any body of medical men so highly qualified as in England, and he thought that . properly qualified practitiQners should receive that protection to which they were entitled.--(Cheers.) The SECRETARY then read a report, from which it appeared that the council of the College of Surgeons refused to receive a deputation of the members of the medical profession on the subject of certain grievances in the constitution of the college. The adoption of the report was then moved, se conded, and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was passed to the Committee. After the ;transaction of some other business, Mr. WAKLBY, M.P., who was received with the most enthusiastic cheering, rose to address the meet ing. He severely censured the conduct of the Col lege of Surgeons as arbitrary and unjust. The me dical professioi knew what would ensue if they longer submitted to the domination which it had exercised, and which the Act, if passed, would give them -the power of exercising. They had been insulted by the Council of the Col lege, and he would refuse, if he were in practice, to meet any one of its members in consultation ; and if he felt that that man could save his life, he should not enter his (Mr. W.'s) bed-room. You (added the lion. Gentleman) have not a house of your own ; you cannot meet in the College of Physicians; and at Apothecaries Hall there is no place for you.— (Laughter.) If you are suffering injustice in your profession, to whom can you appeal ? To no one. Although you have colleges, you dare not enter them. You cannot—you dare not exercise any function in any of these colleges, without asking permission of the ruling powers, who are not of your choosing. If they manifested their hostility against the Bill which he held in,his hand, it would never become the law of the realm. He regretted that the House of Commons was disinclined to hear anything relating to the medical profession. In conclusion, he called upon the profession to attend the meeting which would be held on Tuesday next at Exeter Hall. Several other gentlemen then addressed the meet ing, after which the assembly went into committee on the Bill, and proceeded to discuss the clauses seriatim, which occupied them a considerable portion of the evening. MANCHESTER UNITY OF ODD FELLOWS. The third annual dinner of the North London Dis trict of this society took place yesterday, at the White Conduit-house Tavern, Pentonville. About 400 persons sat down to dinner, which was furnished in very excellent style , and ample justice was done to it on the occasion. An excellent band was in attend ance under the direction of Mr. Byrne. James Duncombe, Esq., presided. After the cloth had been removed, The CumumAN gave the health of the Queen, which he prefaced with very appropriate observations. Drank with three times three. Air, " God save the Queen." The CHAIRMAN next gave the health of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Which was drank with enthusiasm. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the other members of the Royal Family, was next proposed, and drank with three times three. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of her Majesty the Queen Dowager, the patroness of the Widow and Orphan Society. The toast was drank with all the honours. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, the next toast he had to propose was " Prosperity to the Board of Directors, and the Independent Order of Odd Fel- other day offered by one of thp stewards a book cm taining the laws and regulations of the Society. He read it with great pleasure • and though he had fre quently read the laws and orders of many benefit societies, he had never met with any equal to theirs. It was an equitable code from beginning to end, and was worthy of the perusal of all those who had the power of making laws.—(Hear, hear.) If they would peruse the laws of that Society, they would derive great instruction, and the public would not have to complain of the passing of so many unjust laws. — (Hear, hear.) Their laws were such that a bad member could not long remain amongst them. — (Hear.) Everything done tended to promote kind ness, fellow-feeling, and morality.—(Hear, hear.) Not only were there pecuniary advantages derived from the Society, but all cases of accidents and sick ness were immediately attended to. The parties re ceiving its benefits were exonerated altogether from applying for parish relief.—(Hear, hear.) Each member had a claim for relief under a contract, as a right, and not as a charity. That was the position in which he wished to see the whole country placed, and he believed, when the benefits which the Society conferred became more generally known, it would receive large accessions to the vast numbers which it already embraced.—(Hear, hear.) They not only provided for the wants of the living, but there was also an ample fund provided by the So ciety for the burial of distressed members. In the hour of death, that time of greatest distress, there was 121. allowed to the wife for the burial of her husband, and 71. allowed the husband for the burial of his wife. —(Hear, hear.) They, moreover, gave encourage. ment to industry, for they paid the travelling ex penses of a member when he had no work, and wished to go elsewhere, where there was a likelihood of ob taining it. It was, therefore, a Society which every well-thinking man ought to join, for it was the duty of every good member of Society to relieve the dis tressed.—(Hear, hear.) He wished that it might be come a rich and a great body, and that it might rea lise the most sanguine expectations of those who were most interested in its prosperity and success. Mr. ROWE corresponding secretary, spoke to the toast. He thanked the Committee for selecting him to speak to the toast. He returned his best thanks for the manner in which the toast was proposed, and for the enthusiasm with which it was received. He looked on this as a pledge of the continued prosperity of the Society of Odd Fellows. A few years ago the Society was little known, or only known as a subject of ridicule. It was said it would prove a curse instead of a blessing to join their ranks ; but the public mind was now disabused of that impression ; and amongst the other means of aid given to produce that effect, that of the public press was not the least.—(llear, hear.) They had many obstacles to contend with; yet they had now 340 districts, above 4,000 lodges, and not less than 250,000 members.—(Cheers.) rom accounts which he had received during the last week, he was con vinced that their numbers were now still larger. They wished to say nothing derogatory of any other society ; on the contrary, they held out the hand of good fellowship to all. But as a benefit society they (the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows) were second to none in existence.—(Hear, hear.) They relieved the distressed, the poor traveller, and the sick. They gave funeral donations, and they had the Widow and Orphan Fund.—(Hear, hear.) A great amount of good was done by the Society, and a still greater amount of evil was prevented. The Society was cal culated to promote good and useful objects, and every member should use his utmost exertions in FO good a cause. But they attended not only to the phy sical wants of the members ; they also sup plied intellectual food—(Hear, hear)—for th e y had established classes for mutual instruction, and schools for the gratuitous education of orphan chil dren.--(Hear, hear.) Surely such a Society w as calculated to elevate man in the moral scale ; and after all it was not surprising that so mang thousands of all classes had united themselves under the ban ner of " Friendship, Love, and Truth."—(Ch eers.) They desired that the improvement of the Society might advance with the times, and that when they saw a fellow-man in any part of the world, they would only see the face of a brother.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of the Army and Navy. Drank with three times three. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the increased suc cess and prosperity of the North London District of the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows, which was drank with all the honours. Grand Master LANCASTER spoke to the toast. The North London District now contained 74 lodges, and 4,300 members, and the state of their funds was most flourishing.—(Hear, hear.)

Saturday last averaged 10 cram; highest boat, 29 i' - '6:ge, rl :7l l lliY. — l e acifibsill4-- f a n lyugu3 l4 47 cr AW - . 1- average, 5 crans ; highest boat, 15 crans. Thursday —all the boats out save 3 ; several had 8 to 15 crans ; erage, 4 crans. Friday average, about 8 crans. PETERHEAD, AuG. 22.—The fishing has been re tarded very much, this week, by the stormy state of the weather. Our average is only 82 trans; at this date last year, it was 104 crans. FRASERDURGII, AUG. 21.—The fishing has been much interrupted here, this week, by the roughness of the weather—the boats having been out only three times since Wednesday last. The average of the 282 boats' fishing here is 45 crans per boat. Three cargoes of herrings have been shipped this week for the Conti nent, and two vessels are at present loading for Ireland. STONEHAVEN, AUG. 23.—The fishing, this week, has been very partial. One boat, on Wednesday morn ing, had 30 crans ; another, on Thursday, 15 crans ; and, this morning, one had 30 and another 20 crans, but the majority of the boats had almost nothing. GOURDON AND JOHNSRAVEN.—The fishing, this week, has turned out very ill, and this looks bad for the advanced season of the year.—Aberdeen Herald. WICK, AUG. 15.—The drooping spirits of our fishermen have, this week, been greatly revived, by a fair fishing, and excellent weather for prosecuting their arduous and laborious calling. The average for the week will be about 25 cram per boat, and 53 to 59 for the season-15 crans short, however, of the take at the same period in 1842 and 1843, and 35 short of 1841. From present prospects, by the end of this week, the catch will probably equal any of the preceding years. There were some very heavy hauls each day, this week—so high as 60 and 70 crans. The fish, in general, are of good quality. There have been some few shots of spent fish among them. The following is the week's report :—Friday, Aug. 9—average, 1f crans ; Saturday, 10—average, f a cran ; 'Tues day, 13—average, 4 crans ; Wednesday, 14—average, 7 crass; Thursday, 15—average, 12 crans. As usual, among 900 boats, some are very poorly fished, while several have caught their full complement. As yet, there is little demand for cured fish on the spot ; buyers are waiting the result of the week. Some few purchases were made to-day, at the former con tract prices of 15s. 6d. for eight days' old, or 16s. crown-branded. On the Banff coast, we believe 16s. 6d. has been paid. Salt has become rather scarce. Empty barrels rule at 3s. 4d. to 3s. 6d. Freights are on the advance since the fishing set in. Norwegian billet-wood has been selling at 11d. per foot. KIRKWALL, AUG. 12.—The fishing continued suc cessful in Stronsay until the end of last week. The boats, as we anticipated, were not out on Wednesday night. They will now average 60 crans. Last year, the total average for the season was only 30 crans ; and, in fact, the average already is considerably higher than most seasons. HELMSDALE, AUG. 15.—Very few fish got here upon Friday and Saturday of last week. This week, the fishing has much improved. On Tuesday, the boats averaged 3} crans ; Wednesday, 4} crans. Only a few of the boats are as yet come in to-day, but, from the appearance of those coming, it is supposed the average will be equal to yesterday's. The general average here for the season is 31 crans before to-day. —John o Groat s Journal. SHREWSBURY FAlR.—There was a very large supply of sheep in the pens on Tuesday, and a good at tendance of buyers, particularly from the vicinity of Birminghham and Wolverhampton. The best wethers sold at sid. to si-d. per lb. ; ewes, sd. Good lambs, for which there was a great call, fetched from Sid. to nearly 6d. per lb. ; very few remained unsold, except those of an inferior quality. The pig market was also well sup plied, and the price of bacon having risen, strong well meated animals sold at an advance of 2s. to 3s. a head on the prices of last fair. No alteration in the smaller animals. The cattle fair, on Wednesday, exhibited an average supply of excellent beef, which obtained si-d. per lb. ; and a few very choice beasts sold a shade. higher. Store cattle went off but slowly, at a compara tively low figure, but still a little better than last fair; and more business was done than was expected. There were but few good cows and calves, which sold well; but a number of inferior things were not looked at, and were driven home again. The supply of cheese and butter at the Circus was very good for the season. Butter sold at from Bd. to 9d. per lb., and two or three lots fetched 91d. Good family cheese was weighed at 255. to 275. per cwt., and a few lots of skim at 20s Hams, 7d.; bacon, 6id. per lb. At the Market-hall, Howard-street, there was a good supply of cheese; more buyers being in attendance than last fair, all was dis• posed of at prices varying according to quality, from 40s. to 60s. The wool market, on Wednesday, exhibited one of the smallest supplies of fleece wool which has been known for some years. The few sheets of Leices ter wool offered were bought at I4d. per lb. A con siderable quantity of lambs' wool, chiefly mountain, was e l d f e to ne r l a 4 l d u p a e l t y l b o . f ; d o t h i n s e e p t t e : l obtained was f P e 1:4 1 }reds. varying pvererl bbm.

Mr. FAULKNER spoke briefly to the toast. He said that this fund was peculiar to the Manchester Society of Odd Fellows. They were at present giving relief to 20 widows, and if they effected no more than to make 20 families happy, they laboured not in vain. " The prosperity of the South London District" was next proposed, and drank with all the honours. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, for which he returned thanks. THE LATE DISTRESSING SUICIDE. Yesterday morning an inquest was held before Mr. C. J. Carttar, pursuant to adjournment from Friday last, at the Trinity Arms, Church-street, Deptford, touching the death of Eliza Kendall, aged 18, whose body was found in the water of the Grand Surrey Canal. _ _ The first witness called was police-constable Gates, 144 R, and officer of the police-court, who said that he remembered deceased being ordered to pay Is. for damage done to a bonnet, and 2s. costs. The Magis trate allowed her a fortnight to pay it in on account of her poverty. The time had expired, when he called and asked her why she had not paid the money. De ceased replied that it had not been in her power, having had n I work. Witness told her she must pay, it by ti e following Wednesday, or take the conse quence. She was to have been committed to prison for three days if not paid. Should not have taken her into custody unless by an order from the .dagistrate. Witness held out no threat; he was ordered to call ibr the money. John Cohen, a shipwright, deposed that he saw a woman on the bank of the canal throwing her arms about and crying loudly, " Oh, my sister 1 oh, my sister !" several times. lie was in his cottage, and ran out, and, with a neighbour, followed on to the canal. Witness saw her jump in, and having cleared the ditch, he plunged in after her. Believes she jumped in to save her sister. She was breast high out of the water when he saw her. She sank :..nd he caught hold of her clothes when nearly Viree feet under water, and with great difficulty got her ashore in a state of insensibility. Did not see anything of the deceased. Witness was much exhausted from the exertion. It was at half-past six o'clock on Wednes day morning, and many persons were then on the hank. A friend took him by the hand and pulled both ashore together. • Joseph Arthur, surgeon, deposed, that he had made a post mortem examination of the body. Deceased was not in the family way. Observed a few scratches on her face. Thinks they were done before death. Christopher Kendall, aged 55, father of deceased, saw her last on Tuesday night. He had not made any complaint to the deceased. His daughters were in the habit of going out on their own affairs. The landlord called on Tuesday for the rent. Two weeks at 2s. a-week were to be paid, and Is. off the arrear. Witness had left ss. with his eldest daughter to pay it. The landlord came at half•past 8, and he told him he had no money for him, and that he feared his daughters had made away with it. Jane had not then told him so. On her return home, she said the money would be returned that day ; but they were unable to borrow it. She had lent it to her two sisters. He said very little to Jane, as she appeared to be in such trouble. He went out in search of them to the Broadway, but could not meet with them. He returned home and went to bed soon after 9 o'clock. He saw one of the girls leave the house about 6 o'clock on Wednesday morning. They lived by slop shirt-making, addded to which he could earn ave raging about Bs. per week. He was sorry to say they had no chance of making a living at slopwork ; had suffered great distress lately ; never thought of more than two meals a day, sometimes not that. They worked for Mrs. Norman, Union-bridge, Bermond sey. She takes contracts to do the work for large shops in town. The deceased had much altered lately. The girls could not go to service for want of clothes, they being in pledge. It was quite unusual for them to be out at night. Witness was left with four daughters and one son. The latter was ship wrecked two years ago, and had not since been heard of. Jane Kendall deposed, that they worked for Mrs. Norman, in Beating's-lane, Bermondsey, who em ploys upwards of 100 hands, and contracts with Messrs. Bousfield and Sons, of Houndsditch. Mary Ann Kendall, the surviving sister, was then brought into the inquest-room in a helpless state, and after many attempts by the Coroner to take her evidence it was found absolutely necessary to remove her into an adjoining room, where the surgeon and Coroner followed. In about half an hour, having taken something to soothe her, she was again led up to the table and seated by the side of the Coroner, and deposed in a low tone as follows :—She went out with me on Tuesday, at three o'clock, as they did not want to see their father, in consequence of not having the rent money, which had been borrowed of Jane. They returned about twelve that night, and climbed over the wall and slept in the yard all night, the door of the house being fast. They went away about five next morning, meaning to return at seven, through Deptford and along the canal side. Her sister said she wished to go that way to see a young man. She stopped on the bank to wipe her face, and, having done so, turned, and in a moment after, giv ing witness the handkerchief, deceased was in the water. Witness was alarmed and screamed, and and thought she could catch hold of her frock, she was so near her. Deceased had previously said she would go and give herself up to the police, not being able to get either the lent money or the 3s. demanded by the police-constable. Deceased proposed to go by the canal side. Believes it was only an excuse about going to meet a young man. Could not say whether it was an accident or not. . _ The CORONER said, that it was a question for the jury to consider whether the act was the result of ac cident or that of wilfully taking her own life. With respect to the witness Mary Ann, the evidence of Cohen showed that she was screaming " Oh, my sis ter ! oh, my sister !" which indicated that affection and desperation induced her to jump into the water after her sister. There could be no doubt that the sad catastrophe had been brought on by excitement, through great distress at home and threatened impri sonment, with the dread of meeting her father ; the circumstances taken altogether led him (the Coroner) to think that it was not the result of accident. The room was then cleared of strangers, and in about half an hour the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity," and the jury further begged to state their detestation and abhorrence of the miser able manner in which labour was rewarded in all such cases as the present. HORNCASTLE.—The great horse fair terminated on Wednesday, which is the largest for horses in England. Some days previously to the opening of the fair on the 9th, several eminent dealers arrived, and visited the v'it rious stables in the neighbourhood, making extensive purchases. On Saturday the fair began to assume a very lively aspect, many strings of horses arriving, and dealers dropping in from all parts, including about thirty foreigmrs, principally from France and Germany,. being more than we have noticed for several years past. First rate animals quickly exchanged hands, at very high prices. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, a great deal of business was transacted in hunters and park and carriage horses ; numbers of strings were leaving the fair daily. Most of the business was done in the stables, and a great number of horses hire fetched from 150 to 250 guineas each. Mr. Loft, of Healing, sold a steeple chase horse for 300 guineas ; Mr. Quartermaine, of Oxford, purchased a horse of Lord Worsley for 250 guineas ; a pair from Mr. Brookes, of Crosby, near Caistor, for 400 guineas, and several others for 150 to 200 guineas each, Mr. Smart.. of Coventry, Messrs . Ehnore, Dyson, Anderson, Collins, and Tawney, of Lon don, and Mr. Archer, from Suffolk, were extensive pur chasers of high-priced horses. The French and German dealers bought largely—principally young mares. For several years past good horses have not been known to fetch such high prices as at this fair. Of carriage hor,,es there was rather a scarcity.—Hull Advertiser.

GERMAN MANNERS, Stc.—Th:... Germans do not address each other with the plural you, as is our custom : thou denotes affection and familiarity.
