The Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London met at Guildhall on Tuesday last, to consider a motion brought forward by Deputy Peacock—" That, in conse quence of the great expense and doubtful durability of the wood pavement—it is the opinion of this Court, that no more than what is now contracted for shall be laid down for twelve months." A discussion of considerable length took place upon the subject, in which it was strongly argued by the opponents of the wood pavement, that the timber paved streets are inflicting enormous expense upon the inha bitants, and were giving infinitely more trouble than the stone pavement, the noise of which was greatly counterbalanced by the proportion in which it excelled its rival. It was contended by those who did not agree with the objectors in the necessity of coming to such a resolu tion, that the Court ought not to be fettered as to their future operations, and the previous question was carried by a majority of s—the numbers being for the previous question 19 ; for Mr. Peacock's motion 14. It is quite evident that the opinion of the Commis sioners is undergoing a rapid change on the subject of the wood pavemunt.

Nelson, Esq. This Office is provided with very accurately eonstructed tables, by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms. . Similar tables enable the Society to grant it:Creased annuities on Unsound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease. Members of consumptive families assured at equitable rates.. Healthy liva are assured on lower terns than-at most , other offices. The first Life Assurance Society commenced business in 1705, and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to a very limited extent only, have repeatedly'undergone important changes and improvements but till the establishment of this So ciety in 1841 no attempt had ever been" made to assure the lives of persons who suffer from disease. The science of statistics has only within, a recent period been successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office, is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that on healthy lives. It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons, it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons labouring under disease; and to this latter feature particular atten. tion is directed. In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than all other offices can have unitedly ; and in the Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more permanent foundation. These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease. The period of life most important to an assurance office is that be. twedn 15-60 years of age, and in the fillowing remarks we refer exclusively t o this period of life. It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 50,518 ; and from consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that more than one-third of the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva. lence of a single disease ; and if the same inquiry were instituted with respect to other diseases, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases of the head, heart, &c., it would be found that mom than one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—in Bir mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 1,988, forming considerably more than one.third of the whole. The same thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and from six important diseases, 9,754; in the latter case forming more than 42 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. On reference to the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, from consumption 4,087, and a list of tive diseases, 6,4211, being more than 45 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. The d'seases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, an a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since it thus appears that a majority of the population is included in this class, tie value and importance of the new feature of this society cannot tail to be justly appreciated. The second prod to be explained is the fact that there is much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a felture of paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and deserves to be carefully considered. The real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its caculations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation of mortality, and will be found to be much less among diseased lives than over the general population, and among selected lives. The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are sufficiently near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the matter to figures it is found that white the fluctuation per annum in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only 9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortalit} in consumption was only one-fifth of the other ; and in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of smaller ❑umbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute in its results than that which regulates the general population. Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi dered more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question under consideration ; but the same test has been applied to a great number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, drepsy, rheumatism, disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c.. the fluctuation was only 71 per cei.t., and in five diseases in a different district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation did not "exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns in England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important diseases was 6'4 per cent. The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality in disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole range of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be depended on. - _ It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one plke or class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in England and Scotland, as well as to many rural districts in Eng land, and included the experience of one or two large societies of select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the effects of locality and its sanatory condition on the duraticn of life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, Tic, that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun. try districts than in large cities; but that of those persons who suffer from disease the value of life is nearly the same. As a n example of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country districts is 36.7 years; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years—diffe rence 33 per cent. nearly ; but take the case of persons of that age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will ultimately die of consumption, and their expec'ati n of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5, in cities (Glasgow) 14'4. and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir mingham, 1311; difference 017 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It therefore appears that while the difference between country and town life in the former cane is about 33 per cent., that In the latter instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the results nearly uniform. The same thing ho'ds good with some other diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. This fact, although not generally understood, is only what might have been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality In disease is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in. fluenced by eXternal circumstances. Ithence appears that the Snatuation in the mortality of diseased lives is much less than among select lives and the population gene.. rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be leis, To apply this coin/14404 to the affairs of an assurance office, it may be stated, that supposing the number of lives in a society, taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would Intl/pate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have always sufEciegt funds at immediate command to meet 143 deaths ; on the other hand, en rpi g only diseased lives need not provide for more than 109 deaths pea' siniuw; f; to say, the risk of assuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 0 to 4ti, Pr only one.flfth. This fact is highly important to the interests of this &piety, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctness of the priti.ciges on which it is founded.

THE SUGAR QUESTION. The Sugar Bill is to be brought forward on 'Friday, the 24th inst., and I call on all Members of the House to Ir r io€4l4o matter only-tme moment's reflection, and they will agree with the Chancellor, that it is an important question. The consumers should now have cheaper sugar, parti cularly as the revenue can afford the trial, and the re venue may benefit by the change, which would give us a large amount from the produce of countries which now give nothing. Why should not the poor man have his sugar for fourpence, instead of sixpence or sevenpence per pound? And the sugars of all nations would be required--of course, a foreigner paying a higher duty than our own colonies. Indeed, our own colonies should only pay a nominal duty of is. or 2s. per cwt., and not make a chief requisite of life the mode of obtaining so large an amount of revenue, for it is felt chiefly by the poor. But to the point. Lord John Russell has given notice of his amend ment on the question, which will not eve n b e li s t ene d to. But I warrant him, ;hat if he will read this, and call to his aid all his machinery, he will carry his measure, and receive the support of every interest—colonist, foreigner, the trade. shipowner,, and, in fact, every trade. Let him give immediate notice, and there is ample time for all to show if they do not take this view of the measure. He cannot carry his present amendment—it injures too many interests, and will scarcely-be noticed. When you wish to carry an important point, let every interest derive advantage from the change—injure none, and you do away with opposition. I am practically experienced on the point, and never saw a better opening. Sugar reduced from sixpence to fourpence per pound for 'the poor man, will increase the consumption 'of Ireland and Scotland materially, where they scarcely see it now. Even the cattle may be fed on molasses at the duty I propose ; and as the consumption is so great in India and the islands pro ducing it, so Will it be here, if they can get three pounds for one shilling, instead of two . pounds. Th e adultera tion would be done away with, which is said to be (in the last price -current) 100 tons per week in London— thus injuring the article it is mixed with and also the revenue. Why is the consumption of sugar only the same no'w that it was fifteen years ago, and the popula tion 15 -per cent. more ? Because the price is the same and adulteration going on to a great extent, and the question of ditty always on the lapis. The produce of the British possessions this year will be 200,000 tons, which we should.use with no change of duty, and thus the revenue, with all sweets, would be 5,500,000 t Next year the produce of India will be greater, and of Mauritius, owing to the import of hill coolies there. And why cramp our West India colonies and prohibit them being sent there. Demerara, Ja maica, and all our islands, would thrive if free emic,ra ;ration was allowed, and why prohibit it any more than from this country to a ll th e wor ld ? A ppo i nt Govern- I meat Emigration Officers, as in this country,, to license and inspect emigration ships, and the people would go into a land of comfort, and be brought in many instances to Christianity ; at any rile; - would be more useful members of the community, and likely to improve.. See the vast increase in all trades by such a measure. Why grant the boon to one colony, and not to all ? This would be the grand death-blow to slavery and the slave trade. I propose that Lord John Russell gives notice at once, I and thus _give tinxply notice to the country and his friends that the consumer be considered, as the revenue can afford the trial, and may gain instead of lose, if not in sugar, by the increased consumption of other articles. It is a grand trial, and may be the means of giving future Ministers the power of raising two or three millions of.revenite with much ease. We'now pay the War duty, and we ought to see it changed. Propose that the duty be reduced .on— British plantation to 101, per. ton, would give £2,000,800 Foreign do. to 301. per ton-60,000 to 70,000 tons would be required this year; say 50,000 at 301. British do. Molasses, at 2s. per cwt. £150,000 Foreign do. do., at 12s. per cwt.... .150,000 Other sweets £4,000,000 Yours, respectfully, A PHILANTHROPIST. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Mozart's chef d'ouvre , Ii Don Giovanni, was re peated last evening with the same powerful cast as when it was produced for the first time this season, a fortnight since, and the announcement attracted a crowd round the doors long= before the usual hour for opening them had arrived. The theatre was crowded in every part long before the commencement of the overture. Not a box or a stall was unoccupied, and there was not even standing room - in pit or gallery. The overture was mag nificently given, and the opera, from beginning to ' end, was one continued series of triumphs. „For nasari and Persiani were encored, as a matter of course, in " La ci darem lo mano," and Persiani wha was in excellent voice,. was also encored in " Batti, batti." The other encore of the evening was "Il mio tesoro," which wa s exqu i s it e l y sung b y Mario. The trio in the first act, by Grisi, Favanti, and Mario, was admirably given by these three accomplished artists. It was much applauded, and narrowly escaped an encore. Between the acts of the opera, Cerito danced La Gitana with all that naive coquetry, that ease neatness, and fascinating grace which is so peculiarly characteristic of the style of this delightful danseuse. Tho ballet of Alma followed, for the first time this season, with Cerito as the heroine, and never did she dance the celebrated Pas de Fascination more delightfully. A most fas cinating creature is Cerito, and we wonder • not at her turning the heads of the old German authorities who guard the city gates. They must have been more or less than human, had they not been fascinated by the charms of Alma, when represented by such a sylph like, graceful creature as Cerito. There is a heartiness, if we may be pardoned the expression, about the dancing of Cerito, which we seek for in vain in that of any other artiste. It is evident that other artistes have been taught dancing, but it seems natural to Cerito. had dancing been unknown before her time, she would have invented it. The third tableau of the ballet, the ball-room scene, is a most magnificent display of scenic effect. In this scene is introduced the Polka Generale of the whole corps de ballet. The Polka, danced in this manner is a most elegant dance, and will, no doubt, become as fashionable in this country as it already is in the salons (X Paris. The house continued crowded to the close of the ballet. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Po ATSMOUTII, . M AN' I 5. —The Roy al Yacht. —The Emily barque, Beach master, hired by Government from the celebrated transport cintractor Soames, arrived on Sunday, from London, with the new tubular boilers and funnel roe the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert. She was obliged to have her main hatchway combings cut away to admit the boilers below ; the f unne l was b rought on deck. It is expected she will have had all her re pairs completed. and be ready for her Royal Mistress by the latter end of this or beginning of next month. The Naui ilus transport, Lieut. W. C. Saunders, agent, sailed, pursuant to Admiralty orders, for Chatham, on Sunday morning, to disembark her invalids. The Rattlesnake, 2, troop-ship, Master-Commander Richard Brown, arrived on Sunday, from China. She has brought 202 invalids out of 268 originally embarked, dysentery having carried off sixty-six of them. One died on' Monday, while the Echo steam-vessel was taking the others out of the ship. Thirty- have gone to the hospital, Of a party of thirty of the. Royal Artillery, fifteen, including the commanding officer died. The whole of the survivors disembarked on Monday. Great blame is attached to those Mho authorised the crowding so many persons in an ill state of health, for such a long voyage, in so small a ship as the Rattlesnake.
