THAT THE CORN BILL IS FIXED ON AN IMMOVABLE ROCK OF SAFETY," he may with the greatest confidence endeavour to enlist the Kri doubtful + a ttention of the great capitalists to a more secure and vi eas übtful employment in terra firma. The adjustment of the Et eat atissue has arrived at a great and triumphant result. It en gth discnvered that in the exceedingly intricate task, which "rad the mind, the perspicacity, and depth of intellect, Pesse s ,L, ,ca by-our first Minister, in organising his salutary altera ht".l4 the corn-laws, he has dealt out a measure of strict and lin ihttiat JUstice, no less to the manufacturing than the agricultural e - eft er .." . t.

I REPORT of the DIRECTORS to the EIGHTH ANNUAL MEETING of the MEMBERS, held at the Office on the 15th of December, 1843. CHARLES LUSHINGTON, Esq., in the Chair. It is with feelings of no ordinary gratification that the Di rectors render to the Members of the NATIONAL PROVI DENT INSTITUTION, this, their Eighth Annual Report, of its proceedings. Each periodical review of the progress of the Institution has afforded abundant evidence of its growing prosperity, whilst the statement which the Directors arc enabled to publish on the present occasion, exhibits a result far exceeding their most san guine expectations. Before proceeding, to a summary of the business of the year just terminated, the Directors would advert to the notice con tained in their last Report, that in accordance with the 28th Rule, the accounts of the Institution were then under the inves tigation of an eminent Actuary, for the purpose of making a careful valuation of its existing liabilities and assets, in order to declare a dividend out of the surplus which might from such valuation appear to exist. That investigation was completed in January last (by Charles Ansell, E-q., F. R. S., the Actu ary referred to), and the Directors have now to congratulate the Members of the Institution on the great success which has attended - its operations, by effecting a large reduction in the premiums payable, or by securing correspondingly large additions to the sums assured on Life Policies; notwithstand ing ONE FIFTH of the actual , profits declared to be divisible among the Members has been reserved, and a reduction equal to 45 per cent. from the premiums of those Members who have been assured the full term of Seven Years, and at certain ages, has been secured to them. _ _ The number of Policies issued during the past year has been 703, nearly all of which are of that Class securing a sum of money payable at death. The number of proposals declined during the same period is 81. The annual income of the Institution, which was last year reported as being 39,3601. 9s. 7d., would have been increased to the relatively larger sum of 47,9341. 4s. 3d. ; but of this amount, 3,714/. 7s. 3d. has been allowed or deducted from the annual premium of those Members who have elected to have their premiums reduced in lieu of the Bonus added to their policies. The Accounts have been duly audited to the 20th November ast, at which date the Capital Stock of the Institution was 167,0791. lls. 2d., being an increase of 27,2731. 9s. 7d. on the sum reported last year, and which amount is invested with the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, and in Real Securities, conformably to the Acts of Parliament and the Rules of the Institution. The claims during the past year on the lives of deceased Members amount to 7,6001., which sum has been paid, together with the Bonuses accrued thereon. The Directors have also to inform the Members, that in ac cordance with the notice given in the last Report, the business of the Institution was removed to their Freehold premisesin the spring of this year; of the eligibility of the situation and the superior facilities the premises afford fur carrying on its busi ness they have already had satisfactory proof. That portion".of the building not occupied by the Institution is let to highly re spectable tenants, at a rental which leaves the rent-charge to the Institution at an extremely moderate sum. From the preceding statements it will be observed that the amount of busmess has been very much increased during the past year ; an increase that may chiefly be attributed to the advantages secured to this Institution, by being enrolled under the Acts of Parliament relating to FRIENDLY SOCIETIES, as also to the growing disposition on the part of the public to effect Assurances in an Office where the surplus profit is di vided, not among Shareholders, but among the ASSURERS THEMSELVES. To the PRINCIPLE of MUTUAL ASSURANCE, as carried out by this Institution, the Directors earnestly invite the attention of the Members and the public at large, as also to investigate for themselves the relative claims for preference of the various Life Offices, and they rest confident that none will be found to combine greater advantages, or that can justly ay claim to a larger share of public confidence. The following statement shows the progress of the Insti tution from the commencement : THE NEXT DISTRIBUTION of MONEY DIVIDENDS, AUTHORISED and GUARANTEED by His MAJESTY the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA, contains MONEY DIVIDENDS of £5O LtiO £7O £9O - - £lOO ' £llO £l5O £2OO £4OO £3OO £l,OOO £1,500 and £23,000 sterling, Amounting together to £70,170 sterling, Direct for PROSPECTUS with full particulars, WITHOUT DELAT,to HEINE BROTHERS, at HAMBURGH, Or, to HEINE BROTHERS, at LURECK. £l2O £6OO £3,000 NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY, 26, CORNIIILL, LONDON.

Your Directors bare much satisfaction in calling the attention of the Proprietors to the half-yearly balance sheet of the Company, by which it will be Seen its business is steadily improving, and that, after deducting all the current expenses of the head office and branches, and interest on current and deposit accounts, rebate on bills not due, allowance for bad and doubtful debts, &c., there re mains a balance of 3,8471. 14s. at the disposal of the Shareholders. Your Directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for the half-year, which, if approved by the Proprietors, leaves 8051. 11s. 6d. for the Guarantee Fund. Your Directors can continue to report most favourably of the' working of the branches. They believe the monetary wants of the localities in which they are situated are fully provided for, without any stimulus being given by the issue of local notes. Your Directors cannot make any definite report at present on the pending law proceedings, arising out of the affairs of Messrs. Coils and Co.; but, acting under the best legal advice, and devoting to them their best attention, they believe the statements made to the last meeting will be supported by the result. As soon as it is in their power to afford an exactaceunt of these transactions, a detailed statement will be submitted to the Proprietors. The Proprietors will not fail to observe that, although the times have been most unfavourable for banking profits, the Guarantee Fund is increasing.

SECRETARY—John Emerson, Esq. Sofactroas—Messrs. Palmer, France, and Palmer. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are hound by their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded, and be Independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be In the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims arise ; and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from them by fraudulent. misrepresentation. The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this Company. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. TIIIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that where premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid ; and they undertake to do so without reference to the state of the accounting betweem the assured and his debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant In favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may be continued for life, the rates arc as low as a due re gard to complete security will permit.

That from the information always afforded by the Directors at the Half-yearly Meetings of the Company, and particularly after the explanations given this day, they arc satisfied the statements in such letters, whether printed or anonymous, are both false and malicious. 11.

That they highly approve the conduct of the Directors in leaving such publications unanswered, except at the periodical meet ings of the Company, and that they be requested to rely on the in tegrity and honourable feelings of the Proprietors for support against such unprincipled attacks. IV. That they deeply regret to hear that several private bankers, In the districts in which the Company has branches, have been active distributors of Mr. Sturt't letters, but believe that no gentleman, after this declaration from those best able to judge of their baseness, will continue to participate in their circulation. .And— • Lastly. That they hereby convey to the absent Shareholders, and the public, their entire confidence In the Directors, and in the ability, energy, and zeal, with which they have conducted the affairs of the Company ; and their deep regret, that in the honest discharge of their duty to the Shareholders, they should have been exposed, collectively and individually, to the accusations of Mr. Sturt and his accomplices. 3: That a Dividend at the rate of 51. per cent. per annum be de clared upon the Capital Stock of the Company; clear of income-tax, for the past half-year, payable on and after Saturday, the 10th day of February instant. 4.

The Ilalf-premium plan of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 5/. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if dcatk should occur in the first year, the sum of 500/. would be paid less the 5/. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of fl. ; for the second, of 10/. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 35/. would be subtracted from the 500/. then payable by the Company.

By the author of " Shakspeare and his Friends," &c. In this singularly in teresting work, so much talked of in the best circles, the author has brought before us a heroine famous above all her contemporaries, not less for her extreme beauty than for her extraordinary attainments in an age wnen genius of the highest order prevailed in both sexes to an extent never ex celled. In short, this gifted being is no other than the lady immortalised by Ben Jonson in his matchless epitaph : " Underneath this marble hearse, Lies the subject of all verse— Sydney's sister, Pembroke's mother. Death, ere thou shalt find another, Fair and good and wise as she, Time shall throw his dart at thee." It is only necessary to add that the whole interest of the story of "The Secret Passion" lies in a clandestine attach ment the Countess of Pembroke is represented to have formed with, in every sense, the most noble of the many distinguishd characters by which she was surrounded, and from which after mutual struggles, the result only occur to such natures, both at last are disentangled by • means which still more deeply excite the reader's sympathies. CHILD BORN IN THE STREET.—It having been dis covered by a family resident in Pembroke-street, Devonport, that a servant in their employ, named Ellen Johnson, was in a state of pregnancy, the young woman was thereupon im mediately dismissed from service. Having no home, and being unable to procure a lodging, she slept in the streets on Monday night, and attempted also to find shelter in a door way the night following, but the pains of labour suddenly coming on, the poor creature was carried to the workhouse by the police, whom she had brought acquainted with her condition ; before, however, the gate of the workhouse could be opened, she gave birth to a child. Mr. Winchester, the parish surgeon, was instantly sent for, and every comfort which the house could afford was given to her, and we hear that both the unhappy mother and her offspring are now doing well— West Briton. EVERT LITTLE HELPS.—A new trade was com menced last week between Sunderland and London, by Mr. Brabant, butcher, who sent to the metropolis by steamer, from Mr. French's wharf, a consignment of sheep's carcases, packed two and two in sacks.—Durham Chronicle. BOYLSTONE.—There was interred in the church yard of SomerSal Herbert, in this county, on Friday last, an aged couple (Richard and Ellen Phillips), the husband being 93—the wife 75. They were interred in one grave. The great ages of the five last in the register are remarkable, viz. :-87, 84, 82, 93, and 75 years. We very much doubt whether any register in the county, or even in the kingdom, contains anything like it.—Derby Reporter. ANTEDILUVIAN REMAINS.—A few days since se veral elephants' tusks were discovered in the gravel near Cainscross, ono measuring seven and a half feet in length, together with a few bones and teeth. The depth at which these remains were fond is nearly twenty feet from the sur face, and although they must have been buried many thou sand years, yet the exterior appearance of the ivory has un dergone but little alteration. An able practical chemist of the neighbourhood has submitted a portion to chemical ex amination, and finds the earthy matters existing in the s?Tr , proportions as in the ivory of the present era ; but, as be anticipated, it was destitute of all o r g anic ma ch tenham Examiner.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON TIIE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. The inquiry into the circumstances attending the deaths of James ilanney and Proctor William Scott, the engine-driver and ptoket of a luggage train on this line of railway, who were killed near the Springfield ballast-hole on the morning of the 28th tilt., was resumed yesterday forenoon, before Mr. C. C. Lewis, Coronei for Essex, at the Three Cups Inn, Springfield.road, Chelmsford. Major. General Pasley, the Government Inspector of Railways, was examined as to the state of the line at the spot where the ac• cident occurred, and a watchman on the line also deposed that the man usually in attendance on the points at the ballast-bole was I addicted to drinking, and seldom at work more than three day, a week. Strangers were put on to tut fi I hie ditty occasionally Our instructions do not tell us to look at the "points" and cose.raila after every train has passed. We are, however, expected to de so, and it was owing to the irregularity of the , arrivalot the lug. gage train, which usually passes Chelmsford before the snail, that I did not do so on this occasion. The luggage train Is never re• gular, and varies as much as an hour sometimes. Mr. George Henry Phipps, resident engineer of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, said _that be accompanied Mr; Mall to the spot where the accident occurred, about twelve o'clock on Stitt. day the ?Rh ultimo. Witness made a minute Inspection or the engine, and, front that inspection, was convinced the accident had arisen through one of the driving wheels coming in contact with some hard substance, placed in the same position the "cross rail" was described to have been in. There . was a deep indentation on the flange of one of the wheels, but the axles and other wheels were uninjured. Witness bad carefully examined the piece of rail produced, and could not find any mark on it to corres. pond with that on the wheel of the engine, or indeed any appear. ance that would lead him to the conclusion that it was the substance which had come in contact with the engine and cadged the aeci. dent. Mr. Phipps gave his evidence at great length, and with a clearness which appeared to give the greatest satisfaction to the Coroner and all present. Several other witnesses were examined at considerable length, whose testimony was of a very conflicting nature, and at halt past nine o'clock the Corener adjourned the inquiry to a future day, when it is expected that some evidence of an extraordi. nary character will be adduced. THE RIGIITS OF WATERMEN.—Yesterday con siderable excitement prevailed in that part of Chelsea contiguous to Battersea-bridge, in consequence of Mr. Hatchett, a magistrate for the county of Middlesex, who resides at Beaufort.terrace, having determined to make use of the power given him by the Court of Conservancy of the River Thames, in the removal of what has long been alleged to be a great nuisance, and also an en croachment upon the right of free watermen. For many years a plying.place for watermen has existed on the northwestern side of the bridge, and until the last twelvemonth there was an un interrupted approach to it both from the street and by the river. About a twelvemonth since, however, Mr. Page, a coal merchant, established a coal wharf there, blocked up the approach to the river with his waggons, and prevented water men landing their fares by keeping barges constantly mowed alongside. This conduct, on the part of Mr. Page, was warmly commented upon, not only by the watermen, but also by many of the influential gentlemen of the neigh bourhood, and it was attempted by the latter to put an end to the nuisance in an amicable manner. This could not be effected, and the Court of Conservancy was appealed to by Mr. Hatchett and other gentlemen. The Court declared that the mooring of the barges was an obstruction, and that the blockading of the landing place was an et cruachment upon the rights of the watermen. Yes terday Mr. Nelson, the water-bailiff, served a notice upon Mr. Page to remove the obstruction, and as that was not attended to, steps were taken to forcibly remove the nuisance; the mooring chains and ropes were cut, the piles to which they were made fast were sawn off, and the barges set adrift. The waggons were also removed. The necessary apparatus for driving a row of piles into the bed of the river, which would prevent the future mooring of barges on this spot was fixed, watermen commenced plying for fares and obtained many, and before sunset the Beaufort-stairs once more shone in alt their pristine glory. It is understood that the matter is likely to to become one of legal inquiry. A body of police were in attend. ante to preserve order. CURIOUS MARRIAG E.—Last week, a clock-maker, residing in this city, upon whose countenance might be traced the march of time, and a female, who was about his equal in Years, presented themselves in the church of St. Cuthbert, for the purpose of being united in the holy bonds of matrimony, under the following singular circumstances:— It seems, from the statement of our correspondent, that they had " lang sync" been married in " bonnie Scotland," accord ing to the rites observed by the church of that country, and having lately unfortunately discovered that the minister *as suspended at the time the " gordion knot" was tied, they de termined, in order to allay their qualms of conscience, to ap pear a second time before the altar of hymen, and accord ingly, on the above occasion, they effectually rivetted those bonds which they supposed had hung too loosely upon them. —York Courant. DEFEAT OF THE ANTI-LEAGUERS.—On Saturday the farmers of Richmondshire met at Richmond, and were to have carried out the Anti-League policy, but 'the concoctors of the scheme reckoned without their host. The Earl of Zetland, - whose intention to be present was generally known, attended, as did also several persons of importance connected with the landed interests. A resolution was moved by the callers of the meeting, Word for word similar to the Derby resolution, but the Noble Earl made An excellent free trade speech, and showed that the sliding.scale did no good to the tenant-farmer. As his whole property is landed, the Yorkshire farmers began to consider that all the fears of the mono. polists were not to be taken as gospel, and the meeting was ad. journed without the putting of the first resolution. Of course the whole string fell through, and the conveners of the meeting retired to meditate on the fate that awaits those whose estates are encum• bered with wife's pin-money and daughter's settlements. . PosT-OFFICE REGULATIONS.--It has for some time been the practice (in pursuance of directions from the Post.office authorities to that effect) for the Customs' officers,:in the examina tion of the baggage of passengers arriving from all parts of the world, on finding any letters addressed to parties residing in the United Kingdom, to take possession of them and , send them by a special inesenger to the Post-office, in order that they sea, be for warded to them by post. An initance recently occurred at one of the quays adjoining the Custom-house, of a parcel of printed circulars being found in a package, each circular being directed to a party re sident in the country, and the officer detained the same for the Board'a directions as to whether the package was to be delivered to the party, or sent to the Post-office in the same manner as was required in the case of written letters; and the Board of Customs having directed a communication to be made to the Post-office au. thorities on the subject (the package being forwarded for their in. spection), an answer has been received from Colonel Moberly, to the effect, that having taken the opinion of the law-officer of the department with respect to the package alluded to, he (Colonel Moberly) had the honour to acquaint the Board of ;Customs, that the solicitor considered that such packet, containing letters, ought to pass through the Post-office, and it had therefore been for. warded according to the' several addresses, charged with postage. This decision is of much importance, and it will therefore be evident that in future all letters, whether written, or, as in this case, printed, being circulars from some foreign house to various merchants here, will be detained by the Customs' officers, and for. warded to the Post-office, to be charged with postage, and de. livered into the hands of the persons for whom they arc intended by the employes of that department. EXPLOSION AT MALDON POWDER-MlLLS.—Yes terday morning, at the early hour of one o'clock, the inhabitant. of Maldon, a village between Cheam and Kingston, Surrey, were alarmed by a loud noise similar to that produced by the discharge of a park of artillery. It was soon ascertained that -an explosion had occurred at the powder-mills, which are the property of Mr. Frederick Taylor, of Ewell. There was no person at work in them at the time, and therefore the result was not of a fatal character. From an inspection subsequently made was found that one of the " corning " mills, in which there was a quantity of "green" or unprepared powder, had been utterly destroyed. The process of grinding was in actual operation at the time, and it is supposed that, prior to the man who had the care of this parti. cular mill leaving, he had not sufficiently damped the powder, the consequence of which was that some grit getting intermixed with the dry powder, caused the latter to ignite by friction with the machinery. It is a singular circumstance that an explosion oc." curred at these mills about six months since, at the same early hour in the morning, and under similar circumstances. TILE BOKHARA. CAPTIVES.—WC have 'great plea sure in announcing that letters from Trebizond of the lath of December announce the arrival there on the 1 I th of some Bokhars merchants, who report that Colonel Stoddart is still alive, and holding the appointment, under the Emir of that place, of corn. mandant of a fortress, having been compelled to embrace Islamism, under the name of Abdee Semet Khan. The same passengers likewise state that Colonel Stoddart has under him a young man, who acts as his secretary, who, according to their description, is supposed to be Captain Conolly. Later dates from Trebizond, to the 31st of December, mention that these reports had been con. firmed by other persons arriving there from Bokhara on their pil. grimage to Mecca, and who had left Bokhara between five and ix months previous, Dr. Wolff had reached Erzeroum nn foot, rom Tribizond, a distance of 150 miles.
