PECULIAR ADVANTAGES OF THIS INSTITUTION, Credit given for half the amount of the first five Annual Premiums, by which means Assurances may be effected with the least possible present outlay, and after payment of the arrears, the Policy-holder will become entitled to participate in the entire profit of this Institu tion, precisely in the same manner as if he had paid the whole amount of his premiums in advance, in the usual way. Thus, for example—a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age, instead of paying 21. 6s. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would be required-to pay 1/. 3s. only during the first five years, when, on payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 51. 158., his share of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre miums to very little more than the half Premium of It 3s. originally paid by him.

He is a journeyman tanner, and hat worked for Mr. Leamon, of Whitwell, for the tart thirteen years. He had killed hiS three elder children by beating them on the back of their heads with a large heavy hammer. - The •youegest, an infant,-he put heed first into a large earthen; pot full of water. The names and ages of the - children area; follows:—Harriet Frost five years ; Charlotte Frost, three years ; Eliza _Frost, eighteen months; and Louisa, Frost,_only tell weeks. The fa her (Willi/ye Frost). is only about thirty-sik years of age, and was taken into custody immediately a.ter the horrible 'occurrence. by Samuel Parker, an inspector of police, residing at Reepham. Notice was soon after given to Mr.. Pilgrim, one of the county coroners, who instructed the constable to em 'pannel a very respectable jury from different parishes. the following morning the Coroner arrived, and held H s •► - a inquest at the Falgate public-house, occupied by Vyall. The jury having assembled and been . %Inn, proceeded to the cottage to examine - the bodies, and when they arrived there they were shocked at the • deplorable spectacle of dead bodies.. The Coroneraind jury having returned to the public-house, the following evidence was given: 7 - Sarah Allen, the wife of Thomas Allen, of Whitwell, depceed as followst—l live in a • cottage adjoining that in which William Frost resides. I have known hiM about twenty years. I have always considered him a very steady man, and he alWays, as far as I have sr en, \ conducted himself very respectably. I knew his fourl children well. Their names are Harriet Frost. about five years of age; Charlotte Frost, three years old; Eliza, eighteen months; and Louisa, ten weeks. I saw them all on Friday or Saturday last, in the morning. They were then in good health. Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, or a little after, I saw Martha, the wi!C of William Frost, go out of her own gate adjoining her cottage. She told me she was going to Mrs. Wilkins for a shilling owing to her. She then walked on towards Mrs. Wilkins's, and very soon returned—l think in ab tut five minutes—and I saw her again by my gate, which is very near her cottage. She told me she was disappointed, as Mrs. Wilkins had gone to Reepham. We stood together some little time, and she then went into her own cottag-, and I went into mine. I said to her as she was going into her cottage, " How is your 'husband—is he got to ,work?" I was aware he bad been rather unwell for some days. She said he was not gene to a ork. IthmetZiately after she had gone into her cot tage, I heard Mrs. Frost call out violently, as if some thing was the matter. I ran into her house as fast as I could. Mrs. Frost was calling out, " On, my chil dren !" I took hold of her, and asked her what was !he matter. She was unable to explain what had oc enerel. I turned round, looked into the pantry, and there ! saw Eliza Frost lying. dead. I then went up stairs, and there T saw Harriet Frost and Charlotte Frost lying on the floor quite dead. I saw there a quantity of blood. I then went down stairs and looked for the other child, hut I could not find it. I called out violently at the doer for some one to ceme; and I sent my child, who easby my door, to get a neighbour to come in. Wil liam Frost, the father, was all this time sitting by the fireside, in his kitchen. I took hold of him, and said, " Oh, man! what have you done?" Ido nut recollect that he made any reply. I then took hold of his wife to comfort her all I could; she was very much distressed. I went into the pantry to show Elizabeth Yarham, wh was just come into the house, the child Eliza Frost, which I had previously seen lying dead, sand as I was goin g into the paniry I turned my eye and I saw the babeLou'sa Frost standing in an earthen pot, which ;vas partly filled with water, with its head downwards. I lifted the child up. It was dead. I laid it on a b 'Act. A Mr. Savory, who was at this time present, made an observation that I ought not to have taken the child out of the earthen pot. I was so much alarmed that I can not say whether I put the child into the pot ageiv, or whether Mr. Savory put it in. lam quite satisfied the child was dead. There was no person in Frost's ho se when Ifiret went in but Frost, his wife, and the children. No person lodged in the house with Frost and his wife. I have since heard Mrs. Frost say, when she went out after the shilling, that she left the three elder children at breakfast with her husband, and the youngest in the cradle, and they were then all well. Wifliam.Frost has lived 'miler the same roof where I reside for four or five years, and I have had every opportunity of knowing le , ve he conducted himself, and I believe he has been a good husband and a tender father. Tem plemore Isle of Wight Isle of Wight Several other of the neighbours who had be'-n called in at the first alarm, corroborated this evidence, but without adding any material facts ; and Robert Leamon, of Whitwell, was then called. He said—l em a tanner and farmer at Whitwell, and William Frost has worked fOr me, in my tan-yard and on my farm, about thirteen years. He has during that time been a very steady, so ber, and well-behaved man. He was unwell four dies last week and not able to work, but he was at work Cy' Friday and Saturday fast ; he was then much better. Frost had previously told me that he thought he had got a rupture coming. I advised him to see Mr. ILrsant, the surgeon for this district, and I offered to giye him a note. I saw Frost on the Saturday afternoon. I saw no more of him till after the alarm was given that his four children were dead. I was informed that he had killed them. I went to his house yesterday, imme diately on my hearing what had occurred. When I got to his house, I found him in custody of Parker the police officer. Ile was sitting, handcuffed, by the table. I drew a chair and sat by him. I asked him a few ques tions with a view to ascertain his state of mind, and not with a view to criminate himself. I asked him what could possibly indaca him to commit so horrible a deed? He remained silent. Some one said, " It's of no use asking him any questions, he will not answer any one. The house being very full, I asked the police-officer to clear the house. I think about half-a-dozen persons remained with me: I then repeated my question, how could he possibly commit such a horrible deed ? He shook his head, and groaned. I sail, " Frost, you are the last person in this parish I should have thought could have committed such an act as this." I think Parker at this time came up with the hammer, and said, " This is what the children were killed with ; here is blood upon it now, and the handle has been washed." My eyes are weak, and I did not see any blood upon the hammer. I did not think it had been washed so recently. I cautioned Parker, the policeman, to remember what Lord Abinger said at Norwic h res p ecti ng the police. I don't think Frost saw the hammer ; his face was quite to the table. I said, "Frost, you hear what is said about the hammer ; was this dreadful deed done with the hammer ?" He answered "Yes." I then asked him if he washed the hammer afterwards ? He said " Yes." I asked him if such a thought as this had ever entered his head before ? He said. "Yes." I asked him if he thought, by des'roying his innocent children, it would be the means of getting t lem to Heaven ? He said, he hoped so. I then ask, d him f he had any intution of destroying himself ? He said " Yes, he intended to have dune so." I advised him to listen to the Rev. Mr. B 1) th, the minister of our parish, who was then in the room. I saw Frost again in the afternoon. I advised him again to have some spiritual comfort, and I inquired if he would like to see Mr. Myth again ? He said he had no objection. He said Mr. Blyth had read and prayed to him. I said " William, did you join with Mr. Blyth in prayer ? " He groaned and said, " How could I ? " I saw bins again in the evening, and then I advised bite t;) have Mr. Blyth. I considered that. Frost an swered all the questions very rationally. The evidence of the surgeon, Walter Harsant, of Reephatn, was as folloWs:—I was requested yesterday marning to attend at Whitwell, to examine - the children of William Frost, who ha I been murdered, as repre• sented to me, by their . lather. ' I went over immedi ately, and examined the four children lying in Frost's house. I found the two yOungtat children in the pantry; one lying on the floor, and the other in a basket, both quite dead. The two elder children were upstairs, both lying on the floor dead. I first exta I mfoir i ti Eliza, who was lying in the pantry o n the floor. lyre was was a fracture on the ba ck of the he ,h ad w is . i e l r o e t was a little laceration about the scraw that the injury at lTs h 3 very extensive. I am perfectly satisfied at the back of the head was sufficienttocause d eath. It appeared as if the chi ld had been injured by some blunt i ns t r ument. I then went to the infant in the basket. I diseovered no external marks of injury there- sufficient to account fur death. The clothes were wet and tip ' 1 to me as it' they had been in water. pea , er think it had the appearance of having been drowned. I thin proceeded upstairs, and examined the two eldt.r chil dren, who were lying dead there on the floor. I found n t h e mere e xtensive fractures on the b ac k p art of 1 d . lea of both these children than upon the child below stairs, and these :i.actures were quite sufficient to cause death. I am quite satisfied that these fractures were • given by some blunt instrument. lam certain the re must have been at le:st tao blows given to each of the two elder ( hi . dren upstairs. Isle of Wight The Coroner then directed the po!iceman . to produce Wiliam Frost, 'and the Coroner - cautioned him against saying anything to criminate himself, informing him that all he said would be taken down in writing, and, if necessary, would be given in evidence against him ; but, is he wished to mike any statement, he, the Coroner, was, ready to receive it. The. Coroner then read all the depositions over, to which the prisoner paid marked attention, occasionally correcting the statements of the w itnesses. The several depositions having been read over, The prisoner said—With regard to Sarah Allen's d:— p-sition, it is p.lrfeltly earrect, with the exception that't think my wife was gone more than five minutes. I have m,thing to say against the evidence of Elizabeth Yar ham. I have nothing to say against the evidence of Mary Allen. I had plenty of victuals in my house. I have no observation to mace to the evidence of Mary Eye. I have no observation to make to Robert Rya's evi !once. Theevidenee of Alfred Savory appears pretty right.

HEALTH OF TOWNS.--FELTR.A TRATION OF .WATER..,. The importance. of pure water is admitted by all to !le very great as - one means of improving and maintaining the health of large towns. The supply .for the tr polls has 'often been complained of,as being by aim inema so clear, bright, or limpid as water for drinking and f r other domestic uses should be.. Any plan, ther,fore e that is ,ealeu'ated to remedy the evil, demands iminerlitve and serious attention.. On this account, attendance v,as yesterday given, at Brownlow-mew,;, Gray's Inn-lane, to witness Stuckey's patent fluter in operation. It was 4.x -hibited on the scale of three feet square, the filter itself - being , thus of nine feet surface, and purifying the laege quantity of 100,000 gallons in the 24 hours. The weer filtered was from the New River; and, certainly, the process clarified it to an extraordinary degree. The ri ginal liquid appeared thick and turbid; but when it eat passed through the sponge of the .machine,. the stre,ra Was as limpid and sparkling as if just procured from a crystal spring. This new method of filtration has ex cited much attention in,. Parliament, where era Brougham has declared it to be of immense imp rotnee to the public welfare. The inventor, Mr. W,.1 - rStuelc-y, is - a native - of Russia, but the son - of e linglish pare. The principal maieltieS in the inyiontron are the rapidity of the filtration, - and the employment of sponge, in a highly compressed statee- - as the filtering material. Tt.e rapidity is of, twofold importance—the saving of tin-e and cost, and the preservation of the best qualisi, s the-water. With regard to the latter object, it &Kew-% that any process that filters water drop by drop, or ire very small quantities, deprives it of the carbonic itch! gas it previously contained, thus - rendering the liquid flat, far less wholesome, and more liable 1.. speedy decomposition. By this invention, however, the water is filtered with rapidity, and in large quantities, ; and thus every good quality is retained, chile the tierce-- able briskness anti (to use the German - expression) '• spirit of the well" is - unimpaired. With respect t.) the filtering material, sponge, from its very porous and ret:- culate structure. it net only allows the water to Less) through with great rapidity, but arrests every extran Qua) matter mechanically mixecrwith it •, it can be more t. ly cleansed that, any other medium hitherto employe.) 7(.; filtration ; and it has this further recommendation, that it imparts neither taste nor sznell to the water. Mr, S, thus sums up the advantages of his invention over. err) present system of filtration—that it presents an eetmoti V. in space, of one foot for one acre ; in money, of 7,3:,05. per annum, as the current expenses, instead cif the esi mated current expenses of the New River Comi-any, of 19,000 i. per annum ; and in time, of filtering in six hoots by machinery of one foot to the acre, mole. aloft 2,300,000 gallons, which quantity in the Chelsea Wes-- works, it takes twenty-four hours to filter. In an e• ritnent made before Lord Brougham, and other scieniate individuals, and the representatives of several of the great water companies, Mr. Stuckey has, by a .smile machine of only five feet square, filtered water in a th:ek and muddy state, and produced it bright, limpid, awei sparkling, at the rate of 2,500,000 gallons in tweaty-f-44- hours. Subsequently, a filter of net more than 100 ea bical contents has delivered at the rate of from three four million gallons per day. The plan Las alrea in operation in Russia, in Government end other for live years ; and it is about to be introduced, we be lieve, in Paris. It certainly seems calculated to effeet as purpose well and cheaply ; and, therefore, deserv, s a'- tendon from the metropolitan water companies, and to whom pure, wholesome water is a desideratum ; nmit to whom is it not ? LLOYD'S SHIPPING.. -THE PIRATE OF THE MEDITERRANIIVI AGAIN. This vessel, of which some particulars of her r-r;elt depredations were given a day or two since, has kies;. l again seen up the Mediterranean, and although th:, s• 1 she chased was enabled to effect her escape, it still shoevie that her abominable trade is carried on in the very teeth, as it were, of her Majesty's men-of-war. By a letter received from Paris, dated the 9th inst., it appears. that "the Jean Baptiste, Martin, from Cette. arn'ved. at Havre on the 24th ult., was obliged to take shel er under the Island or Iviea, and while lying then., tomb/. t 4 midnight, he perceived a brig, painted black, whi-st he supposei to be either a Gretic or a Turkish vessel,Ai.ta sails set. When arrived necrly opposite the• Irani Bap:iste, she clewed up her lower sails, hauled d 'vii her foretopsail, and rounded to. The Jean Baptiste take about, but the suspicious brig did the same, end prepared to put her boat out ; rereeiving which tlev Jean Baptiste made all sail to run out to sea ; th v strange brig dot the same, but the ti,a running very high she tacked, and remained with her topsa.fls reefed." It will be remembered that in the recout a-- count given under this head, the suspicious vessel i> r , presented as being a barque, whilst in the present fit stance the strange sail is mentioned as being a bri;.. A widely differ e nt rig, it is true, but may have beet re sorted to as a ruse to escape detection---a kind of decep tion known to have been practised in former years by ; but if this supposition be incorrect, it then re mains that there are more than one piratical vessel int those waters, and calls therefore for increased (Wig, rice upon the pelt of her Majesty's cruisers. Surely, the de predations of these rovers will not be permitted to rs - tend much further. VESSELS SPOKEN WITH. —Si I v ie, of Fecamp, March 3(4, lat. 48, lon. 31 ; Vesta, from Havre, April 4, lat.

The left wing joined the right on the 22d of December last. It left Bombay on the 18th of that month in the frigate Auckland,j' Sinde. ..The writer.states that the regi meat has suffered in some degreo from fever and ague, .&c.; but many of our readers; who have friends in the re giment., will he gratified to learn that the Highlanders are in excellent spirits, and are much respected by their brave countryman and commander, Sir C. Napier. We extract the following passage, as recording a providential escape which the writer had from drowning:—" We left Bombay for Scinde on the 18th December, 1843, and, on our arrival, I remained on board to see all my com pany's baggage •put on shore. We lay about two-and a-half miles from land, and about seven miles from camp ; we lost the tide, and had to remain in the boats until the tide rose again. I was so eager_ to be with the company, that attothtr sergeant and I left part of the regiment, and were making for the amp across the beach—the nearest way we could get. This was in the evening, just about the time that the sun was setting. We continued our route till it was quite dark, and by that time we were fairly done up for want of everything; both shoes and stockings were lost, and we kept sinking in clay, so that I got so weak .that I was obliged to give up. I was now five miles from the camp; and my comrade left me for lost. Here I remained for some time, till I got in a small jungle or shrubbery. The title came in on me at -seven o'clock, P.M., and ro , e gradually until it came up to the lower button of my coat; judge what state I WAS in. It hying,: quite dark, I saw alight at a distance, but calling for assistance was in vain. As my last resource, I took off my sash and fastened myself to the bushes, and there I remained till gun-fire in the morning, at daylight. It was concluded in the camp . that I was lost for ever : parties went (Mt.: in all directions in search of me, but none could find' me. Well, I made my way out by ten o'clock A.M. the follckviog morning, with a hard fight, and was received at the Camp by my comrades in the Highland and hospitable manner of our country, by offering me everything that could be procured. I got a slight cold in consequence, but now I am quite recovered from the effects, and enjoy excellent health, as indeed I have ever since 1 left Eno.- land."—lnvez ness Courier.
