THIS' IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that It was obtained by fraudulent miarepresentation ; 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 eaprice of those who shall be in the management of the affairs- of , the Company when the claims arise ; and for this purpesa 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.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY front whom the assured on the 'mutual prhaciple, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY. COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policiek, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated* before the claims arise.

The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are dower 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 are as low as a due re gard to complete security - will permit.

The entrance of the house in which the enter taininente were to be exhibited was fitted up with a prosce nium, scenery, and all the paraphernalia of a theatre, with a door-keeper, and money and check-takers. The exterior was placarded with announcements, that the " Grand melo dramatic piece of Maria Marten, or •the Red Barn Murder, with other novel and spendid entertainments, would be ex hibited, interspersed with music, singing, gymnastics, tura bling, and legerdemain, would take place and "only a penny" would be charged to witness the performances, which were "never equalled" iu the known world. The audience having , waited with great patience, the curtain at length rose, when the piece of Maria Marten was com menced' by automaton figures of the .most grotesque apPearance, and were made to move with wires, so that they " suited the action" to the words, which were repeated by some one behind the scenes who also worked the wires. At lesigth the officers, who had been so organised that it was impossible for anybody to escape, rushed behind the scenes, captured the whole of the "automaton actors," inclUding the wretch "Corder" and his victim Maria Marten; also the figure of death and all the mipor cha , racters. The scenery, machinery, and decorations were then seized and packed up, and, together with the audience, door keepers, money-takers, and "saloon" keeper, were taken to the station-house, followed by an immense crowd of persons,' and' the utmost - curiosity and interest were excited in the neighbourhood, and the interior of the station-house had the appearance of a strolling company's barn, in consequence of the scenery, dramatic costumes, &c., with which it was bestrewed, No less than 83 persons, men, women, and Children, consisting of notorious thieves, young prostitutes, dustmen, sweeps, and parties of the lowest and most debased kind, were placed at the bar in "batches," and lo4ked up. Mr. and Mrs. Poulter, who described themselves as come dians, it appeared were the " managers" of the company ; . Henry Frazer, a bald headed old man, who said he travelled with an exhibition, and was also a comedian, was one of the principals ; he was recognised as a veteran showman at Ilartholomew fair. Mr. Frazer, jun., was also a comedian, who acted as door-keeper; Master Wildman, aged 13 years (in theatrical costume and rouged), was the fidler ; and Mr. Frederick Barnes and Mr. Sheppard displayed their talents in gymnastics, legerdemain, the fantastic toe, and the vocal department, and assisted in the scene shifting, machinery, &c. They were all committed to durance vile. The taking down .the names and charges, &c., - against them occupied till a very late hour, and crowds of persons assembled round the station-house, and remained a considerable time before they were dispersed. • SERIOUS. .ACCIDENT.-MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.- Yesterday afternoon the inhabitants of Port-street were greatly alarmed by a tremendous noise proceeding from an iron ware house, which is one of the most extensive in the town, and occupied by Messrs. Horton, Simms, and Bull, proprietors of the Swades-hill ironworks, Shropshire. It appears that some men were in a large shed, the roof of winch is sup ported by ten iron pillars, against each of which large quan tities of iron were piled. The men were engaged 111 " sort , ing" the iron, and rearing it up against the pillars, when in an instant, and without the least notice, one of the piles of iron so laid up against the pillar gave way, and, falling in a direction towards the next pillar, came in contact with and carried it away ; the .second pillar, when it gave way in the same manner carried off the third, and so on until the whole of the five pillars went in succession, and ulti mately came in contact with the gable-end of the shed or building, and drove the whole Old of the building, roof and all, into the canal, which runs close to the warehouse. A woman was standing on the opposite bank of canal with a child in her arms; a large portion of the falling building came upon her, threw her down, and dasited the child out of her arms into the canal. On being extricated from the ruins it was fatind that. her thigh-bone was broken, but the child was got out of the water unhurt. A- gentleman who had just entered the warehouse, to purchase some iron, was buried in the ruins, and killed, on the.spot. Another person, named Wilkinson, who was in the employ of the - company, vas also 'buried in the ruins and killed, having been most slq)ckingly mutilated. There were five other persons in the shed at the time, most of whom have received more or less injury, It is rumoured that another man is still in the ruins.. The navi gation ,of the Rochdale and Manchester Canal is for the present stopped by the rubbish. The amount of damage will. not exceed 1,000/. ' JAMES URNE. Witness, John I.

The motion is fbr a:return of all money paid to the proprietors, managers, conductors, and 'agents of the Morning Herald and. Standard newspapers, for the information furnished by them in refe rence to the late agitation in Ireland. How the Ministers may treat That Motion .we. are, 'of course, unable to antic! pate : but we could most earnestly wish her Majesty's ser vants may feel justified in granting the return. It is true that; in every case in which we have beentin possession of information that it might be important to the public service to place in the bands of the Government,. whether such in fdrmation related to foreign Or domestic affairs, we hive been careful so to place it, withorea, moment's .delay, because we consider that our connexion with the press does not in any manner release us from-the duty common to-all subjects."— [This appears to be a rather novel exposition of the duties of the press, and will at once explain the 'part which Mr. Charles Ross undertook to perform as-the ,representative ,of the Standard, an d a lS o th e mot i ve of the Herald in degrading its correspondent; Mr.'JacksOn, from the honourable, positiOn of a newspaperreporter, to the execrable'one of GoVernment spy... The fault was with the Herald,. and not with its repre sentative. When journals, calling themselves respectable, and' assuming Superlative morality, consider such dirty work as this to be "duty," we leave it to the public to infer the portion of confidence to be reposed in parties so' infamonaly betrayhig a high vocation:]-11.foraing Adtertiser.' . zowroir, 28.—The fashionable season has been prolonged beyond the usual period, which is attributable in ,a great measttre ; to Wed , votracted sojourn of the Duke a n d Duchess of SomerSet, her racelaving taken the lead among the hind ton..

PAPERS, Morning, No on , and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and- COUNTRY CIRCULATIOIV; at ONE CHARGE.. Yesterday we had a presence and a glass of -wine with the illustrious General Toni Thumb, at his residenCe, 13, Grafton street, Bond-street, who is certainly one of the most minute mortals in body, with a greater magnitude of mind than any other. General, or any one of mankind generally, to whom we have ever been .favoured with an , introduction. Ills honour, we are informed, awaits the convenience of her Ma jesty to visit Windsor, and then to take his departure en suite for Paris;. and, in the meantime, he sees company by special invitation only, at his ' residence' as above, so, conse quently, we have experienced an especial indulgence in. being gra-tilled with an interview. with this distinguished pigmy personage. The following is a brief :biography of the extra ordinary' being us furnished by his. guardian :—Charles S. Stratton, known as General Tom , ThuMb, was born :at Bridgeport, • CenneCticut, United Statei, jiin. 11, 1832; ,is consequently 12.yeare old: at the date - of : his memoir.. His parents. are people of .the common size, with.nothing at 41 remarkable in their physical or mental organization. At his birth the General, for by this title we must tall him, weghed 91bi: 20z., which is rather greeter than the average weight •of children at their birth.. There were not extraordinary eir-• eumatanoes attending his advent, or, ; preceding it, and .he was ` censidered A very bandsoine,, hearty, • and promising. bOy.' .Nothing remarkable Was noticed respecting him, until. he lias about five months old, when •ho he weighed fifteen pounds, about which time his parefits and their, neighbours began to remark that he did - not 'continue; to .grow. Still • there were no indicationsof disease—the child grew In stiatu- - riV.if net in dimensions,. and expecting that he. would soon take a start, his parents theni little of the matter: Time passed cm, hoWever, and the' General remained. in statu grOwing remarkabi) , *ong: inyfnl , Active,_ intelligent; and handsome—increasing in vigorar and the manliness of 'Ms proportions, but riot increasing one inch- in height, or .one ounce in weight ; and it is proper to state thathe,haa always enjoyed a 'fine appetite,. partaking freely of the ordinary dishes foundupon the tables of the labouring classes, has sound, refreshing sleep, and has always been in the most per fect health;With the exeeptions,Of those slight colds, Res, to which the:best regulated constitutions- are sometimes liable. Subsequent. to his birth, his parents have had two other Children, who are now well grown and interesting girls, of pine and seven years of age. There is nothing in his history or appearance, or Of his family, -to give the least clue to the astonishing.phenomena which - he exhibits." ' So far does the guardian give his history: He is 25 inches high, and weighs :15 lbs. 2 ounces; he' is twelve years of age, and is. as per - - reedy ,proportioned,..as symetrieally correct in form as the ordinary yostitli of 18 or 19 years of age. He is playful in his manner, acute i n a ll hi s answers, very observant of all , that passeS or is said before him; and fakes part in light con versation, and even Vouchsafes to be jocular. It is usual that mothers have.some reason - to assign for these freaks of nature in their progeny, but It'wonld appear in this instance Vie parent has no legend t• meet the curiosity of the inqui sitive. The were people of the working class. He seems to be quite divested of the testiness of temper that usually - is to be noticed 'in dwarfi—on the 'contrary, he is exceedingly affable, excessively polite; and evinces much of the finish of goodbreeding—this is saying a great deal for a gentleman bred in: America, and one; too, *ho.boasts that he ,is Yankee by birth, Which is not selecting for himself the greatest compliment an Amerfean would claim. 'He pos sessesgreat strength for his stature. He can carry about the . elegant diminutive couch • upon which he lolls at his ease. He seems to be cheerful and happy in company, is handsomely dresSed in the costume of manhood, and has his fingers studded with rings. He is, indeed, - altogether a very little gem of hUmanity, With a comely countenance, and seemingly a sound constitution.—.3forning Advertiser. - TRIENNIAL ASCENDING SCALE TO ASSURE 4100.

Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., tke 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 death should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. world be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 51.; for the second, of I 01.; and so on till - the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 3.5/., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payable by the Company.

The Cyclopedia is well suited to the lounging tastes of the day, and is therefore likely to maintain its popularity. THE CURRENCY. • A lecture, illustrative of the national currency and its de fects, was delivered on Monday evening, by Mr. Capps, at the Marylebone Institution. The audience was numerous, and, the attention with which the . remarks of the lecturer was received waa such alto evince theligh opinion entertained of his ability and lund knowledge of the subject; and, indeed, througho4 wit* course - of his observations, there was an evident- titltieo appreciate the principles he ha Thd — ifffr , rfakeir ope, which gave excellent point to his statements. The supposition that the subject is of a dry and uninterest ing character, was, happily, disposed of, by showingits direct applicatidn to the concerns of every-day life. Mr- Capps then took a view of the origin and nature of money as a medium of interchange, and particularly . that of this kingdom, showing the steps of its expansion by means of tokens and tallies issued anciently by the Exchequer, and received by the Government in the payment of taxes, until it assumed it present extent. Under this system, it was observed, the' producer of commodi ties received a sufficient remuneration, be cause the currency was kept at an amount equal to the weight of taxation, and thus corn, and consequently every other species of merchantable property, obtained its fair price. A Similar effect resulted from "an approximation to this principle during the late war, when by Mr. Pitt's restriction Act' thnpaper of the Bank of England was issued under the authority of the State to an extent commensurate with the necessity of the Wiles ; and the industrial classes, by charging the cost of taxation to the consumers, were enabled to obtain an a m pl e share bf "the "necessaries and comforts of life. The lecturer went on to describe the consequences of de parting from the plan which bad been - thus successfully acted upon, 'and proved to demonstration that, by the mistake of 1819, the.profits of our foreign trade gradually declined, at length disappeared, and that ultimately a loss of 'thirty-five niillions annually was Occasioned bythe adoption of a metallic standard. And ho very forcibly proved the inexpediency of measurin...the immense and. vastly increasing aggregate of our high?) , taxed commedities by a precious metal of foreign production, which. is - not itself subject to taxation; and the effect of this, it was alleged, was to Make gold the cheapest article in the country, and so ludnce 'the foreign trader to take it in preference to our manufactures. But a much more disastrous consequence of the repeal of the Restriction Act was to transfer the burden of the indirect taxation to the extent of more than thirty millions a year from the shouhlera of the consumers to those of .producers, and thus to.depress wages to such a degree as to involve the whole of the loWer classes in their present state of poverty and distress. This was yery strikingly illustrated by a me chanical apparatus , which is well entitled to th e a pp e ll a ti on of a curr enc y clock. It consisted of a dial, on which were described in several circles the comparative proportions be tween gold, corn, labour, taxation, and remunerative price, and haying hands to indicate their various progress and their bearings on each other. The confimation of this proof told' with evident effect upon the auditory; and completely estab lished the validity of all that the lecturer had previously advanced. We earnestly hope that his success the other evening may induce Mr. Capps to extend the sphere of his usefulness, and difllise more largely the valuable information he possesses; for 'we are assured. that, in a right or a wrong apprehension of the principles of the currency, the happiness or the misery of myriads is involved. • SALM OF WINES, &C., BELONGING TO THE LATE DUKE OF SUMFOC—On Tueiday, at one o'clock,: the entire cellar of wines at Kensington Palace, were sold at the room of Messrs. Christie arid Manson, King-street, St. James's, by order of the executors.

The minutes of the last meeting having been read, The Secretary then read the following Report:— '‘‘ The Directors have much pleasure in acquainting their to-Proprietors, that since their last Report great progress has been made towards the completion of the various.works indispensable fbr the reception of a general trade. • " Their attention, •as then stated, was directed to the construction of a suitable provision of • warehouse-room, so soon as the state of the ground, a source to them and to the Company generally of so much anxiety, so much expense, and so much delay, enabled them to proceed with confidence in its stability. "The warehouse, as at first designed, might have been '-finished by the commencement of the present year ; but the Directors have deemed it to be both desirable and. • economical to extend the original design, before the com pletion of the work should make it impracticable, ex cepting •at a 'much increased cost. They have therefore added to the original plan a•range of spacious vaults for the bonding of_wines and spirits ; and a third floor to the building 'for the bonding of corn, in addition to the two ranges- 'of , warehouse-room previously allotted for the other descriptions of merchandise. Such application of further. capital the Diroctbrs Conceive to. be at once 'best calculated to secure the interest, of those who ad ' Vance it,'and to render productive to the Proprietors their• investment in the construction of the dock itself. The additions thus made to the warehouse will, as reported to,the Directors by their architect Mr. Hard wick, not postpone its completion beyond the end of the ensuing month; but it will then be of the capacity of two warehouses, as compared with , its original scale. " By the time of its completion, the Directors will also have erected an open shed in front of it for coopering, and similar operations connected with the warehousing of goody; This Shed will be 270 feet long, by 40 feet wide. - It - is to he constructed of lien; and, the Directors are glad.tQ say, on a - most moderate contract as to cost, onratcount of the present very low price of that material. " These works completed, the Company will have put itself into . a condition to receive, and properly to house ;and Manage, general cargoes ; ! the class of business to which it necessarily looks for a revenue. " Further, and to t emplete the 'provision of 'accom modation for trade in its several branches, the Direc tors are constructing a spacious yard, on the N.E. corner of the Dock land, forthe reception of foreign timber to be bonded. Several cargoes of timber have already been imported and sold in the Dock; and the Directors have received overtures for a considerable ex tension of the trade. " Nest to, if not indeed before, the accommodation of goods,_ that of shipping claim s t h e C ompany ' s care. " The Directors have given their best attention to each of the important points of this branch of their bu siness. The contractor for dredging the Itchen channel is Liu actively at work, and will, it is expected, by bummer have accomplished a minimum depth of 16 at low water of spring tides, throughout that chs.n , and into the dock. " Until then, and even on extraordinary occasions afterwards, such vessels will be enabled to secure them selves to powerful moorings at the mouth of the Itchen channel, till the hour or two shall have elapsed which will bring them an ample depth of water. These moor ings the Directors have provided, and they are now being laid down. " The next essential to the ingress and egress of the class of vessels which frequent the port and the dock, by night as well as by day, is the provision of proper guide lights. These are also provided : they are constructed on a scientific principle, and it is confidently. expected that they will prove entirely satisfiwtory. " A further useful provision is the use of powerful sheers for taking out steam ships' boilers, and any other machinery of the heaviest weights. The Directors have contracted with Messrs. Seaward and Capel for their construction; and while they are indispensably requisite, especially in a steam port such as Southampton has now become, they will greatly add to the attractiveness of the Company's Docks, and will make an ample pecu niary return upon their costs. They are to be com pleted in three months from the present time. " The Directors announced to the last Half-yearly General Meeting, that they had recognised, and com menced with acting upon, the principle Of low rates of charge. They have since carried that principle still further ; and now offer to the ship-owner such a reduc tion as must be well worthy his attention, at the same time that the Company will find its equivalent in an in creased amount of business, 'and from its legitimate profits on merchandise. This reduction, great - as it is, will not of itself ensure the influx of that amount of trade which the Company must ultimately receive ; but with the corresponding reduction which there is every reason to anticipate on the conveyance of goods by the Railway Company, at no tstant period, that result must ensue. " In the same spirit of attracting trade by the lowest scale of charge, the Directors have also afforded faci lities for the location of emigration ships to sail regu larly to and from the Tidal Dock, on terms most advan tages to the trade. The first ship for the season is now in the dock, and is to be followed by others in regular succession; and it will be a source of satisfaction to the Proprietors to reflect that the emigrants themselves will be peculiarly benefited by the arrangement. " The advantage which the Company's low rate of charge gives to the public cannot receive too much publicity. The Directors have recently circulated statements which show, that vessels which have re ceived damage and are compelled to pat into port to land cargo and repair, effect a saving of from 40 to 50 per cent. by putting into the Company's Dock, as compared with other places in the English Channel. In the case of passengers, also, with heavy baggage, the adv an t age is most striking. The Alexandrian steam-ship Great Liverpool, being detained in the Mediterranean to repair, her passengers were this month brought home by the steamer Pacha, which unloads in the Tidal Dock. The landing charges to her passengers, had they come to Southampton in the Liverpool, which does not enter the Dock, would have exceeded 25/. : by landing in the Dock they were but 71. " The Directors have, in conclusion, only to impress upon their co-Proprietors, each in his individual sphere, that much industry and much influence require to be exerted, to obtain for this undertaking the share of buSiness it is so well calculated to accommodate • and that while their own efforts in that direction will be un remitting, they look, as they hope with reason,' for all the co-operation and all the encouragement which may be asked of those with whom they have but one common interest. , " In accordance with the intimation given to the Pro prietors in August last, and the contract with Messrs. M'Kay and Haddon having terminated, the Directors were enabled on the 31st December last to close their engagement with Mr. Francis Giles as engineer of the Company. " It being at the same time necessary, for a further period, to have an assistant engineer resident at South ampton, for the carrying out of the minor works still in progress, and for the important object of directing and checking the dredging of the Itchen channel, the Directors have retained as such assistant engineer, Mr. Alfred Giles, who has been engaged in the works from their commencement. The Directors have to report that A. A. Goldsmid, Esq., has resigned the office of Deputy Chairman and Director. " The four Directors who, in conformity with the provisions of the Company's Act, go out of Office by rotation at this half-yearly meeting, are Mr. Liggins, Mr. Cruikshank, Mr. Forbes, and Mr. Wilcox. These gentlemen are re•eligible, and the Directors beg to recommend them for re-election. " The Directors beg also to recommend that three Proprietors, not being Directors , be appointed by this and each subsequent February meeting, as Auditors of the accounts to be submitted to each future half-yearly general meeting." The CHAIUMAN, in moving that the Repcirt be ap proved of, adopted, printed, and circulated among the Proprietors, said that he did so for the thirteenth and last time, it being considered by-many of the Proprietors and Directors thnt it would be more conducive to the interests of the Company that they should have an an nual Chairman, and by that means obtain the patronage of men of ranli to their undertaking. After some considerable discussion, the Report was agreed to. Mr. PRICE thought there was nothing at present to prevent them from being in the receipt of funds from the Tidal Basin. He was astonished at the smallness of the, receipts stated in the Report, only about 6001. in the last half year. With such small receipts he could not see how there; could be so great an outlay. Ho would move the following resolution—" That it is the opinion of this meeting, that it is of the utmost importance that the expenses should be diminished to the utmost, and that measures should be taken to effect an increase in the receipts, and that a specific account of profit and loss on the account current be kept in future." This resolution was carried after a short discussion. The next question was the re-election of the four Di rectors who went out of office by rotation—Messrs Li gin., Cruikshank, Forbes, and Willcox. • Ir. RicirAans ok;ected to the re-election of Mr Liggins and Mr. Cruikshank, but all four gentlemen were re-elected after a short discussion. Messrs. Foster, Leward, and Goddard, were electe auditors of the accounts, it being understood that the would be at perfect liberty, if they thought fit, to audit all the accounts from the commencement of the Company.
