GEORGE BEAUMONT, Actuary NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON. Capital.Csoo,ooo. Empowered by Act of Parliament. The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums. Another Bonus will be declared in the present year. DEFERRED ANNUITIES. The best and most varied provision for after-life hitherto offered — every 21. 12s. per annum, paid from the.age of twenty, will, at sixty five, give the policy-holder the choice of an annuity of 471. 16s. 6d., or 3491. 1 ls. cash, or policy at death of 4661. Similar advantages at fifty, fifty-five, and sixty, through an increased annual payment— two-thirds payments lent at any time, and two-thirds returned to re presentatives in cases of premature death.

THE MURDER AT WEDNESBURY.—In consequence of certain suspicious circumstances, a man named Beard, a former servant of Mr. Crowther, was apprehended, and on Wednesday an inquest was holden on the body by the coroner of the district.. The result of the evidence was the commit tal of the prisoner for wilful murder, and he was conveyedto Stafford Gaol. FREE TRADE IN ESSEX.--Two lectures on the corn and provision laws were delivered in the Mechanics' Institute, Chelmsford, on the evenings of Wednesday and Friday, the 13th and 15th instant, by Mr. Falvey. As Chelmsford boasts of having originated the Anti-League Societies, it was thought Mr. Falvey would meet with strong opposition. So far, 'how ever, from that being the case, although the lecturer invited discussion, and challenged Messrs. Copland and Baker to de, fend the statements made by them at the Landlord-clubs, neither of those worthies thought proper to attend. The lec tures were numerously and respectably attended, and on the second evening many had to go away for want of room. The feeling manifested by the audience on each occasion, in favour of free trade, was unmistakeable ; and, expressed as it was in Essex, is a sign of the times not to be overlooked. Mr. Falvey also lectured in the Town-hall, Maldon, on the even ings of Tuesday and Thursday last, and there, too, although it was the first time they had a visit from an Anti-Corn-law lecturer, the utmost enthusiasm pervaded the meetings; and many of the electors, who had hitherto voted for bread-taxers, dcclared, at the close of the lectures, that they would vote for free-traders at the next election. THE HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con stantly announced for promoting the growth or reproduc tion of the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very limited period; whilst " Rowland's Macassar Oil," with a reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair, are too well known and appreciated to need much comment. The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu merous testimonials constantly received in its favour, are au thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all attempts of a similar nature. Being universally preferred, its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of .un principled shopkeepers, who vend the most spurious trash as the " genuine" Macassar Oil : whereas the genuine article is wholly the invention and property of A. Rowland and Son, and the amalgamation of its costly exotic materials renders abortive any attempt to discover its component parts—thus proving the imposition of all other articles bearing the title of " Macassar Oil." The genuine article has the words " Rowland's Macassar Oil" on the wrapper. —All others are fraudulent counterfeits HER MAJESTY'S DRAWING- ROOM.

GLOBE.--As Easter term approaches, the public attention in Ireland is almost wholly engrossed by the discussion of the n a ti ona l ques ti on , " Wh a t will the Go vernment do with O'Connell ?" Nor is this question, in its absorbing interest, confined to the Irish people. In England the same inquiry is heard on every hand. The interest excited by, this strongly-debated question is second to none of the numerous pending ques tions involved in the uncertainty of the .future. Speculations as to the most prudent course for Go vernment to adopt, under the peculiar circumstances in which it is placed by the prosecution and conviction of O'Connell and his co-defendants, are rife in all quar ters. In Ireland the question is debated by the-party organs with the fervid heat which characterizes party discussions in that country. As a specimen of the tone and manner in which the Irish press treats this ques tion, an extract or two from the journals of the two antagonist parties—the one braving the vengeance of the law, and the . other invoking the severest punish ment of the convicted parties—will afford some faint idea of the excitement which prevails. The Freeman's Journal thus raves :—" The . testing time is coming. It will soon be seen whether a British. Governmeut, boasting of its moderation, will, in the nineteenth century,,,yeattsEe on an act of political vengeance which will pfottuße milking but exasperation home , and infamy abroa& They looked anx iously for a compromise—for any pretext of consis tency to set up against the vindictive clamours of that Orange rancour which would lead the miserable Irishmen whom it possessed to demand even the life of the great patriot, and to exclaim, like a similar faction of old—' His blood be upon us and upon our children !' But compromise there can be none. The chief traverser has defied their worst. They admit that he has cut off all retreat by destroying the bridge behind him.' There can be no surrender, except on the part of the Go vernment. The men whom they would victimise have no guilt to confess—no apology to make. Were they to bind themselves now to refrain from the deeds for which they are prosecuted, they would be false to their own principles and pledges, traitors to their country, and they would lay suicidal hands on their public cha racter. On such terms, the Pardon of the Government would wither in a moment the laurels of half a century." The Tory prints are not a whit less violent in their appeals to the Government for vindictive punishment on the convicted Repealers. They had the indecency before trial to predict, with unwavering certainty, the verdict which an exclusively Protestant jury would return, and to fix the period and the place of imprison ment which the Court would award as punishment. And now the Packet (the most moderate of the Dublin anti-O'Connell press) boasts that the ".Mendicant tyrant " must certainly "go to gaol ;" the Mad taunts the Ministry with infirmity of purpose, and intimates that the measure of its infidelity to the Protestant in. stitutions of the country will, there is reason to fear, be completed by some mean compromise with the con victed conspirators. That Ministers are placed in a perplexing dilemma, there can be no question. That they would gladly escape from the perils which beset them—the Scylla of compromise on the one hand, and the Charybdis of incarcerating O'Connell on the other — no one can doubt, who has watched the course of events. 'The demonstration.: of public feeling, provoked by the op!nion which pervades the public mind, in both coun tries, that a conviction, rather than a fair adminis tration of justice, was the determined purpose of the law-officers of the Crown, have been almost unpre cedented. The law is supposed to have been stretched, td comprehend those whose proceedings were not fairly within its prohibitions. The punishment which, in the ordinary course, follows conviction has therefore been, by anticipation, rendered powerless. The Government may punish O'Connell ; but they cannot degrade him. The Court may sentence him to confinement in Kilmainham or Carrickfergus ; but as one of the jour nals, writing in anticipation of such a course, remarks, ‘. Whatever be the prison of the Liberator, it will be the Thermopylae of Ireland ! It will be the holy ground of patriotism to which many a pilgrim will resort in coming ages." The reception which O'Connell has met with in the English metropolis, and also in several of the largest towns of England, has tended to increase the embar rassments of Ministers, when contemplating the course to be pursued in following up his conviction to judgment. The cordial cheers with which his entrance in the House of Commons was hailed on his first. appearance after his trial—the immense multitudes which assem bled at Covent-garden Theatre, both at the meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League and at the dinner which was given to him in the same immense building, which WAS crowded in every part ; and especially the enthusiasia with which the announcement of his name was received, and the speeches he delivered on these occasions were applauded—the meetings at Bir mingham, at Coc'entry, and other places, where the same demonstrations' of feeling were exhibited—the de bates in the House of Commons on the prosecution, and the unequivocal declarations of some of the best consti tutional lawyers in that asaembly, that the law had been perverted, and thus justice violated, in the State prose cutions—the complaints of the Catholics that, by ex punging the jurymen of their creed from the panel, insult and injury were inflcted on their body—last, not least, the petition, to which Mr. Wyse will call the at tention of the House of Commons this evening, signed by nearly one million of persons in Ireland, of all grades, praying for inquiry into the complaints, in con nection with these trials, with which it abounds—these are sufficient to induce Ministers to pause in their pro ceedings, and to desire to prevent consequences which, whatever course they adopt, may involve them in yet greater dangers than any they have yet encountered. We have heard, in generally well-informed circles. that it is by no means improbable that something like the following course will be adopted by the Government, with, possibly, a tacit understanding with the defend ants. On calling the convicted parties up for judgment, certain objections will be taken in arrest of judg ment. Instead of arguing the objections forthwith, the Court will postpone the case, and allow the de fendants to stand out upon their recognisances till the . next term. Thus delay will be obtained, and the evil day postponed ; trusting to the chapter of accidents; or anticipating a more sobered state of public feeling when a 'final and conciliatory termination of the controversy may be effected. Others assert that a writ of error will be consented to by the Irish Attorney- General ; and the judgmant, instead of being passed, ad interim, will be hung up until the House of Lords has pronounced its final decision oh the points raised for argument before it. STANDARD.—We will not pay to our readers the ill compliment of supposing that they can be indifferent to the question which at this moment engrosses the attention of Parliament and of the public. We therefore offer no apology for returning to the factory question— really the question of questions, for it extends generally to the remuneration of labour in every department of in dustry; as we trust to be able to show before we conclude -this article. The position of the question in the House of Commons is now singular, if not unprecedented. The House decided on Monday last that women and children shall. not work in factories between six in the afternoon and six in the morning, and again decided on Friday that they. shall not work twelve hours ; the inference that they shall work ten hours, and ten hours only, would be necessary (for all allow the necessity of two pauses of an hour each) if the House had not, by a small majority, negatived an express declaration to this effect—a decision which it is impossible to explain upon any rational grounds. The decision against twelve hours on Monday might be, and was regarded as the effect of a surprise ; but the affirmation of that decision on Friday cannot possibly be so considered : there are, therefore, two decisions of the House of Commons—the one of them at least solemn and deli berate, against the labour of women and children in fac tories for twelve hours. Sir James Graham has declared his purpose of explaining to-night what course he will pursue in dealing with these two decisions. Three courses are open to him ; he may propose some period between ten and twelve hours ; but this period must be nearer to ten than to twelve hours, for of the two decisions by which Parliament has bound itself, one forbids that women and children shall be in the mill for more than twelve hours, and a stronger law than the law of Parliament or than any muni cipal law, interdicts twelve hours of consecutive toil. Ten hours and a half, or thereabout, is as much as can possibly be taken out of any twelve hours ; is it worth the while to make a stand for the half hour ? Secondly, Sir James may abandon the Bill altogether ; but this would not set the question at rest. Lord Ash ley would, of course, introduce a substantive measure, with a p rfect certainty of carrying the ten hears restriction. though with the unfortunate accompa niment - of a formidable agitation in the manufae turine- districts, and a continued 'and an in creasing division in the Conservative party. Lastly, the Home Secretary may gracefully yield to the twice-declared will of Parliament, satisfied that no one can charge him with having deserted his own con• victions, or having violated any engagements which he may have formed in conformity with these convictions. But whatever course may be adopted by the advocates of long time, the event of the contest is certain, because the more the question is discussed, the more manifestly fal lacious are all the pretexts for resisting a return to the usual and natural periods of labour proved to be. We are sorry to learn that Lord Worsley is at present prevented by indisposition from attending to his Parliamentary duties. A too close application to them, and to the immense extent of correspondence which the im portant public Bills introduced by him have produced, has (for a short time only, we hope) wade rest necessary.— Stamford Mercury.

A detailed Prospectus will be ready on the 30th Inst., and will be sent free, by post,. to all who furnish their address to the Office, 14, Wellington-street North, Strand, London. The libels of which the plaintiff complained were contained in certain paragraphs, which, about the end of last year, ap peared in the' Worcester Herald, a journal enjoying an exten sive circulation not only in the county of Worcester, but in the adjoining counties of Hereford and. Gloucester; and the charge which they conveyed was so startling in itself, and of so unusual a kind, that the paragiaphs immediately found their way into the London journal., and thence were copied by nearly all the provincial papers in the kingdom. On the , 2d of December, 1843, the following appeared in the Wor cester Herald, headed " Extraordinary Conduct to Horses" " We have much hesitated before making public the fol lowing statement, really doubting whether our readers; from' the almost incredible and revolting facts it discloses, would not conclude we were romancing, and saying the thing that is not. However, we can only preface such statement by observing, that in giving it we put forth the truth as related to us, and from the quarter from which we have derived it, as we have reason to believe, ' the whole truth and nothing but the truth.' For reasons unnecessary to enter upon, we do not at present disclose the name of the party implicated ' in our recital, but we shall wait to see whether, when he shall thus discover that his cruel and insensate conduct is known, it has the effect of rousing in him a sense of its in famy and shame, and thereby induce him at once to alter it ; and if this should prove to be otherwise, we warn him that ' his name shall be made public, and in a way, We i that, without the possibility of mistake, shall bring down upon him that full measure of reprobation and scorn he so justly merits. And now to our narrative without further remark. It was some five and a quarter years since that the indivi dual to whom we allude was riding a spirited young mare by whom he was thrown; he escaped unhurt by the fall, but, incensed by the circumstance, he immediately ex claimed to the poor animal, D—n you, madam, I'll make you suffer for this; I'll put you in solitary confinement for seven years.' These were the words actually used by him, as reported by a party who was in his company at the• time, and his threat he has literally carried into execution to the extent of five years and a quarter, and for the greater per tion of that period in a manner, toe, distinguished by the most refined brutality. A three-stalled stable was_ selected for the solitary cell of the hapless creature, the two other stalls were occupied by horses, ' but the back of that allotted to her was enclosed by board- ; ing so placed that she could not turn round at . all, nor lie down but by the most painful effort and the excoriation of her sides in the most, horrid manner. This , treatment ;lie suffered for more than three years, until at fagth she effected some initigatien of her misery by kicking down the boarding at the back of her stall. It would seem that after this the abuser of the poor creature did so far relent in his feelings of vengeance towards her as not to re commit her to her Procrustean bed, but no further; finding she had liberated herself from this, he perseveres in his sen tence of " solitary confinement," and removes the other two horses from the stable, thus giving her the entire range of the building, in which to complete the remaining portion of her doom. But we have not yet related, the full iniquity of this most wicked proceeding. The sole food of the wretched animal through winter and summer, from the commencement of her incarceration to the present time, has been a scanty portion of grass cut by her persecutor himself from a neigh bouring pasture, added to about. half a bolting of straw for her bed ; thadatter, however, we are told the poor animal first eagerly devours in preference to the cold and raw grass, so that not a shred of it is visible in the morning; and we are further told also that about a twelvemonth since a lad,' in the employ of this inhuman man, commiserating the situation of the mare, contrived one evening to make a trifling addition to her miserable modicum of food, and for which he was visited with instant dismissal. 'We have this relation from ethose who have by stealth recently seen the doomed crea ture in her captivity, and they describe her appearance as most deplorable, and al; in to that of the caged beasts in a menagerie, keeping constantly pacing round her narrow prison-house like a demented creature, and bearing a numb expression of suffering capable of melting every heart but that of her cruel tormentor. 'We are further informed that a pony has been punished by this person, for some unknown reason, by the same species of infernal cruelty for the last tWo years." Upon the appearance of this paragraph, although public Curiosity was much excited on the subject, no one but those who were in the secret could know that the plaintiff was the psrson who was aimed at., no name or locality, which would afford a clue to the individual, having been mentioned ; but the National Animals' Friend Society having sent down one of their officers, Mr. Yewens, to investigate the matter, Mr_ Yewens called, on the 13th of December, upon Mr. Chalk, one of the defendants, and requested him to say where the party in question lived, in order that he might sift the cir cumstances of the case. By Mr. Chalk the officer was re ferred to Colonel Blind, a magistrate of the county ; but as Mr. Yewens did not find that gentleman at home, he pro ceeded to the residence of the plaintiff, where he asked to see and was shown the mare alleged to have been treated with eo much barbarity. The plaintiff, who is of retired habits, and 65 years of age, called to his servants to fetch the mare out, put a bridle on her, and ride her ; and upon his return to Worces ter, Mr. Yewens stated to Mr. Chalk that the mare had not been ill-treated, as reported; that she was in good working condition ; that the account of the place in which she was confined was not correct, as it was six feet wide, and 14 feet long; and that when he saw her, there was straw under her, and a whole heap Of stable litter in the yard. Trusting, however, it would seem, More to the accuracy of their original informant than to the testimony of an eye-witness like Mr. Yewens, the defendants on the 16th of December published the following article in their journal:— " THE CRUELTY TO HORSES CASE.—The public will be pleased to learn that the poor animals, viz., the mare and pony, the subjects of the shocking cruelty denounced in former Heralds, have been restored to freedom, or rather to the usual condition of their species. Mr. Yewens, the officer of the National Animals' Friend Society, has been engaged in investigating the matter, and we believe that it has been found that no prosecution can now take place, from the cir cumstance of the Act of Parliament requiring all informations to be laid within 14 days from the date of alleged offences. We hare been informed that an individual who assumes that he himself is the party against whose cruelty our remarks on this subject were written, threatens to bring an action against us for injury alleged to have been done to his character—we suppose the exposure in our columns. We pretend not to say how the chances might go as to a verdict in such an action, but it is due to ourselves to state, that we publish the case on the authority of no mere vague rumour, but from un questionable information; and that our only object was the rescue of two poor animals from a state of misery most har rowing to every one possessing the feelings of humanity. Certainly he who could be guilty of the inhuman conduct that we exposed did not deserve to have his feelings in any way consulted ; but even in our exposure of his cruelty we had no vindictive intention towards him, and we expressly stated that we withheld his name in the hope that a tardy sense of shame would lead him to abate his infamous treatment of the suffering animals. That object has been attained, and now our task is done; but it would be a most foul disgrace to the law of England, or of any civilised nation, were it possible for law, in the circumstances that we have described, to be made the instrument of silencing an honest journal—is such a case the liberty of the press would be but an empty name. At all events, we have no fear of not standing justified by the world at large as having done our duty, and done no more than was most clearly justifiable on the grounds of common humanity and public policy." Notwithstanding the appearance of this paragraph, the plaintiff took no steps against the Worcester Herald, as his name was not mentioned, and in the following week, Dec. 23, a report was published in that journal of a meeting at Glou cester of " The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals," presided over `by the Lord Bishop of the dio cese, and furnished by their own reporter. The report gave an outline of the speech of a Mr. Thomas, the Secretary of the Society, in which, after some introductory observations, he alluded to the case of cruelty to a mare which had been reported in the Worcester Herald. He then went on to say— " Last week I went to Barnard's-green, near Great Malvern, and there I ascertained that the person's name was Bellers, and that he lived on some property of his own. I had an interview with him, and induced Lim to show me where the animal was confined. Certainly, my impression is, that Bellers is not an accountable agent, and that is the most charitable construction I can put on his conduct. He ad mitted the facts—nay, pointed out to me the very place where he had confined the poor mare, and told me that he removed her from one part to another, because she had nearly hung herself. I ascertained also the name of an in dividual who was in the service of this man during part of the time the cruelty was practised. I found him out, and I have in my possession a statement in writing, signed by the lad who was in his service up to a recent period (Michael mas, 1842, as we understood). He there states that the ani mal was fed on grass and hay, and in such proportions as were not sufficient to keep life within the poor creature. A small quantity of straw was laid down as a bed, but it was uniformly all eaten up. The lad states that he left the ser vice because he was ashamed at being connected with such cruelty. Unfortunately, through a defect in the Act of Par liament, we are not aide to bring the perpetrator of this act of cruelty to justice; but I have prepared a report of the case, and given his name and address, and forwarded it to the Morning Herald, and, by means of its publication, the man will deservedly meet with punishment in the public re probation which his conduct merits." Upon receiving information of the appearance of this re port, the plaintiff, thus specially pointed out by his name and residence, determined upon bringing an action against the defendants, and a writ was issued on the 27th January. Some negotiations then took place, and an apology was pro posed by the defendants; but the terms in which it was couched not being considered satisfactory by the plaintiff's advisers, the proceedings went on, and upon the sth March two pleas were delivered, one of which justified the publica tion of the libels in question, upon the ground that the ma terial parts of the statements contained therein were true in fact. That plea, however, only remained on the record six days, as upon the 11th of March it was withdrawn, and no tice thereof sent to the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD addressed the jury for the defend.. ants, observing that his instructions did not require him to say or insinuate one word against the character of the plain tiff, and if it was not his object to make money at the de fendants' expense, but really and truly to challenge them to the proof of the imputations which had been cast upon his conduct, he would have ample reason to be satisfied with the result of that day's trial if the jury should only award him moderate damages. He (Mr. Sergeant Talfourd) wag free to admit, on the behalf of the defendants, that believing the facts to be such as had been represented to them at the time of the insertion of the articles, they were satisfied, now that the case had been thoroughly sifted, that they had been misinformed. The first paragraph had been inserted with the bona fide object of releasing the animal, whose fate had excited the sympathy of the defendants, from the durance in which she had been kept; and he submitted that when they found Mr. Thomas saying that he himself had called upon the plaintiff, and that the account which had originally ap peared in their paper was true, they were morally, though perhaps not legally, justified in inserting the report of the meeting at Gloucester. The Learned Sergeant concluded a long speech by calling upon the jury not to make the de fendants pay what it would neither be honourable nor credit able for Mr. Bellers to receive. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up, the jury retired, and after an hour's absence returned into Court, giving their var. diet for the plaintiff, with 1501. damages. This was the last cause that remained to be tried, and upon its termination Mr. Baron Parke proceeded to try prisoners. Both of the Learned Judges will be occupied till a late hour , _ and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd is gone forward to Monmouth with the intention of opening the Commission there, if one o f the Judges should not arrive to do so in person by ten o'clock. • We have it from undoubted authority that an ex tensive retirement amongst the Commandants, Field Officers, and Captains of the Royal Marines has been determined upon; which will give about thirty steps to the junior branches of hat distinguished service.—Naval and Military Gazette. „ F 1 1;1 it!
