DEFERRED ANNUITIES. By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta ;eons than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con• trihntion of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of fsrfelture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording en ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds •f his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimeri of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a email saving can secure through this Society. k.l. lit, R V t , 1 ' ci t e 1 h"" X and VALENCIA RAILWAY. ti.

[PRICE SD. THE FRENCH REPIA3LIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. M. ACHILLE FOULD, the Finance Minister, intro duced into the Assembly, on Wednesday, a Bill, authorising the Bank of France to resume cash pay ments. As soon ai the circumstance was known at the Bourse the Funds rose considerably. 'IM. CIIARRAS and LATRADE have given notice of their in tention of to propose the following amendment to the Budget of Receipts :—" From and after the Ist of January, 1851, the duty on potable liquors shall be abo!ished. During the interval the Government shall draw up and present to the Assembly a project of law for making good the deficiency occasioned by the withdrawal of this impost." The Assembly, by a majority of 320 to 267, agreed t.O enter on the discussion of the Paris and Bordeaux. Railway Bill. M. inzEus left Paris on Wednesday for the vacation ; he intends taking a tour through Belgium, Holland, and Germany. It is said that serious differences have arisen be tween the PRESIDENT of the Republic and the Minis ter of Marine. , Letters from Toulon of the 28th ult. state that the steamer Chimere, which had been sent on a special message to Tunis, returned to Toulon on the 27th. It found at Tunis the \Talmy (Rear-Admiral Du- BOTJRDIEU), the Jupiter, and the steam-frigate Cacique. The frigates PsyChe and Sane, the latter of which had left Toulon in haste some days before, had likewise arrived at Tunis, where they were to remain until further orders. The Valmy, Jupiter, and Cacique, relieved by the Psyche and Sane, left Tunis at the same time as the Chimere, for Lisbon, whither the rest of the squaron, viz., the Friedland (PARS) VAL DESCHENES), the Hercules, the Jemappe, Inflexible, and Jena, the steam-frigate Descartes, and steam-corvette Caton, were to proceed. The squa dron was to remain a short time at Lisbon, and then sail for Cherbourg. Pal/1s Bohass, AUG.

The news of the battle of Idstedt arrived in Copen hagen on the morning of the 27th ult. The following notice was immediately published by the Minister of War : " After an engagement which lasted two days, our army has gained a decisive but bloody victory, and has taken the city of SAlesvrig. We have taken fire can nons and 100 men. Our loss is great." The German journals state that the case of Schles wig- Holstein is beginning to excite so much interest at Berlin that an association has just been formed there. In Hanover a popular assembly was held on the 27th, to take into consideration the state of the Duchies. About 4 : 000 persons were present. Two petitions were drawn up—one addressed to the KING, the other to the Cshinet—in both of which it was requested that the Hanoverian army might be sent to the aid of Schleswig-Holstein. On the same day a popular meeting was held at Hildesheim, where an address was voted to the KING to the same effect. The Hanoverians have sent 100 Louis d'ors to the Schleswig-Holsteiners. / -) --'1 - lt 1!)1 MAJORITY—NOES, 83. Graham, Sir .1. Patten, W. Greene, Thonias Plumptre, J. P. Grey, Sir G. .

A public meeting was held at the Mechanics' Insti tution, Chatham, last evening, for the purpose of ex plaining the principles and objects of this society; Dr. Seel in the chair. Messrs. G. E. Dennes, G. iluggett, and G. F. Taylor, attended as a deputation. Mr. G. fh7G6ETT explained fully the objects of the Freehold Land movement, when the following resolution was unanimously adopted : "That the Freehold Land Movement is deserving of the warmest support of all who desire an extension of the suffrage, tending as it does to improve the social and moral condition of the industrious and unenfran chi:v(l classes. This meeting is of opinion, that the regulations of the Westminster Freehold Land Society (or N. 4, Beaufort• buildings, Strand, presided over by C. Lushiugton, Esq., M.P.), as explained this evening, are well calculated to effect that object, and that in asmuch as it purposes to enable its members to obtain votes in lint and other counties, this meeting considers it worthy the cordial support of the inhabitants of Chatham." A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and a great number of shares were taken up before the meet• ing separated. :FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. GLASGOW; THURSDAY.—Between ton and eleven *lock this day a collision occurred on the Edinburgh awl Glasgow Railway, near the Cowlairs station, by which five persons were deprived of life, and several others severely if not fatally injured. It appears that a monster special train left Perth by the Scottish Central Railway early in the morning, car rying a number of persons to witness the Highland So eiety's Exhibition at Glasgow; that on its arrival at the Greenhill junction the train was divided into two Onions, one of which proceeded on to Cowlairs ; .4iv,- its arrival at Cowlairs a detention occurred in. consequpace of a large train from Edin burgh not E being able to get down the in clii' ae as spaspeedily as usual ; while remaini ng h ere tb'e,, s econd s Lion of the Perth train cam e u p, an d at thongh it wa noticed at some distance it was p rocee di ng at such a ra d rate that a collision resulted inevitably. 8 1 w passengers leaped from the sta tionary telng h t triasinstane ° d fescapedthe e without injury, but they had nolooner dose so than the collision took place.

I .' ROYAL DANK OF AUSTRALIA.—On Wednesday a meeting was held before the Master in Chancery Richards, for the further settlement of the list of contributories. Mr. Nark Thyd, arid Mr. Rae, late manager of the bank, were ermined, an 4 die evidence of the former went to show that he purchased shares in the bank, and nut them in the name of his Mother Mr. Benjamin Boyd, but that it was done without ithe knowledge or consent of the latter, who was at the time understood to be conducting the agency of the bank at Sydney. He had also done the same for some of his relation - 4, and the question to be decided is, whether these parties are to be held liable in respect of these shares. Inthe case miller° an original shareholder transferred shares to.his nephew; a youth of eighteen, and who sought to be , excused on tke ground of minority, his Honour decided ,taarst, whateveUhis opinion of the transaction might be, he MUM in law hold that the transfer was invalid. The claim', as reported by Mr. Wryghte, the official manager, up to the present time cp the estate, amount to 350,0001., of which :A£1,9001. consrt of deposit notes principally held in Scotland. Ig.le intended v to contest the liability of the shareholders to .Meet these, ota the ground that the directors under the deed had no power to issue them. Should it be held that the bank is liablo, the liciaidAtion on them will fall heavily on the shareholders, who do not amount to more than :Alt/- There are, tn'addition, calls unpaid made by the company, ,i, ..0 "atifryet to be . iin under the Act, to tha extent of 50,000/ . , and the only i se t s i n h an d cors i st o f p ro perty in Australia iitiinated at 0,400/.

GRAND _.4.'/lIMING FETE. On Wednesday evening last a grand treat syas afforded .to the lovers of the art of swimming, at the National ' Baths, High Holborn, on the oc c a s i on of the benefit of •- eie . , ' ........ 4e...... ) Mr. Harold Kenworthy. The spacious a n d e l egant baths, , i - .a '• :'' were crowded, it being estimated that upw ar d s asU j take eeee l persons were present, among whom we noticed e i se y eas t , i 5 i1 1 . .114 noblemen and gentlemen of distinction, patrons orthe bath. The evening's entertainments commenced with a match for a gold Leander medal, presented by Mr. James Horace Kenworthy, which was open to all the world, excepting those who have won golden medals. The chairman of the Holborn Swimming Club, Dr. Jones, acted as referee far the evening. The entries far the gold medal were fifteen, comprising the most eminent swim mers of the day, viz., T. Young, D. Young, Beckwith, Styles, Walker, Grant, Roberson, Hansard, Evans, Sec. Tne distance to be swum was six lengths of the baths, trial heats, and eight lengths in the grand or final heat. The greatest excitement prevailed in the betting, but T. Young and Beckwith were decidedly the favourites, both being individually backed against the field. After a gallant contest Mr. Beckwith was proclaimed the successful competitor amidst the most protracted cheers, having swam the eight lengths in the incredibly short space of time of' three minutes and forty-nine seconds. David Young was second, and his brother, T. Young, third, both of them receiving a massive silver Leander medal. It is but right to state that T. Young was accidentally fouled by Styles, or there is every reason to believe that, if not iirst at the goal, he would have been second. At the conclusion of the race George Pewters entered the water, accompanied by Evans Evans, and performed some of the most extraordinary feats in natation that we had ever seen. Pewters succeeded, .without any dif f iculty, in undressing himself under water, havihg dived in with his clothes on, and we must certainly say that, taking him all in all, he, and: be alone, de serves the title of Champion of England. Mr. Evans' feat of walking on his hands under water was very clever, and was loudly appl au d e d. M essrs, H owson and Kenworthy's scientific swimming called forth the loudest plaudits, and the whole of the evening's enter taieme.nts concluded with a race between Master Turner sad Master Jones for a parse of sovereigns. After a sharp contest Master Jones came in a winner by a yard. Great praise was due to Mr. liedgman, the worthy pro prietor of the bath, for the admirable arrangements made for the spectators, and everything passed off to the satisfaction of all present, the benefieiare included. -,~ ~. cl $l. LIBRARY OF THE BRITISH MUSEU M. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In common with all students at this institution, I have to thank you for the remarks.whieh you have made from time to time On the defects of the present catalogue, and on the necessity of immediately having a " Finding " cr common-sense catalogue completed, to guide authors and readers to the treasures which it contains. Amongst other t•estrictions by which such students suffer, the rule hid dorm by the MuaL um which excludes all books from the catalogue till after one year from the date of publica tion, operates very injuriously to them without )ielding any advantage to authors and publishers ; and I am authorised by the principal publishers to state that the rescinding of this rule would have no irjurious effect on them. My researches at the Library have Leen chiefly in connexion with the subjects of the discovery of the coal fields in the Islands of the Pacitic Ocean and the adja cent continents—and the capabilities of our colonies to sustain en increase of population, with a view to as sisting emigration from deesely-populated countries. I have had, therefore, to refer to the journals of mission aries and other residents in those distant countries, and to consult recent works en practical ge,slegy. Amongst other instances of my disappointment at not being able to refer to some valuable modern books, I may mention that I required in connexion with the extension of steam to Australia having been one of the first projectors with the late Lieutenant Waghora—Stoke's ".Survey- of Torres St ra i ts ," pub lished tome years since under the patronage of the Admiralty. I inserted the title of the work in the book kept in the library :or omissions, Sec., three years ago; but it has never yet appeared in the catalogue. With regard to the question of time in the preparation of such a catalogue as the public want,—surely, if at Lloyd's they can register all the daily arrival of ships with casuslties, and if every banker contrives to ascertain the " balance" of every cust•nner, however many he may have, before the clerks !esve, Government has but to pay a few clerks to post up the arrears in the catalogue of this important institution, or to remunerate the present staff (or extra attendance. Some of the officers in this department now leave at tl e early hour of three o'clock, although the library is open till seven o'clock. I am, Sir, &c., H. SMITH EVANS. MAP OF LONDON AND WESTMINSTER. All topographical antiquaries will examine with interest a very curious map recently engraved by Nicholas Taperell and James Innes, representing the ancient cities of London and IVestininster, as they appeared in the early part of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. From the period of the reign of Queen Elizabeth to that of her present Majesty Queen Vic toria (to whom the splendid plate re tarred to is most appropriately dedicated), it may be presumed that most wonderful changes have been (ffected in the appearance of the metropolis. Even Aubrey, even Defoe, even Jesse, even Hunt, even the most graphic writer who ever lived, would fail to give, within a reasonable compass, any adequate notion of these changes in the aspect of London and Westminster. What they could not accornplisb, however, without penning volumes, is effected by a glance at this re markable engraving-where we see (and stare to see) the deer in St. James's-parke, hedgerows bor dering the Haymarket, Sr. Giles's Church literally in the fields, St. Martin's-lane boun den at one end by a paddock, with a horse in it grazing, and at the other by the Crosse at Charing; cows wandering about the meadows by Drury-lane; trees Ind grass covering the space at present occupied by Covent-garden, and a variety of other matters as surprising and wonderful. The map is worthy of all commendation for its distinctness, and its examination must be a source of especial pleasure to the Metropolitan Commissioners. MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 9 par mille, which, at the English Mint price of V. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.37; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.321, it follows that gold is o.ls per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from thmburgh the price of gold is 433 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. l7r. 10p. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.9; and the ex change at llatnburgh ou London at short being 13.91, it follows that gold is 0.12 percent. dearer in Lon don then in Humburgb. The eoinse of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days'.sight is 110+ per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in favour of Eng land, and after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. ACCIDENT ON THE NOP.TEI BRITISH RAILWAY.- On Saturday afternoon an occident of a very alarming cha racter, but fortunately not attended with fatal consequences, occurred on the Musselburgh branch of the North British Railway. It appears that a train heavily laden with pas sengers on their return from the Yeomanry races, and con sisting of twelve or fourteen carriages, had left. the Mussel. burgh station at five o'clock for Edinburgh, and was ascend 3 ing the steep incline between Niddry and Fisherrow, when from tho small progress made it was determined to divide the train. Four or five of the carriages were in consequence de tached from the train, which proceeded up their:reline- to wards Niddry, it being understood that the engine (the lightest in the company's service) was to return for them. The detached carriages were kept in their position by a block of wood, technically named a "ecutch ;" but. from some cause not yet clearly explained, they immediately began to move down the incline towards Fieberrow (which has a gradient of I in 47), and, notwithstanding the at tempt of a man to stop their progress by the applicat i on of the break, their speed became accelerated to a fearful degree, to the great alarm of the passengers. Some of the switches a short distance from the bottom of the incline being open the course of the carriages was diverted from the main line into a siding, which lies in a cutting; but, from the frightful velocity they had acquired, two of the carriages were thrown off the rails, and the front wheels of one, a third class carriage, imbedded in the sand, while the body or framework was raised on its end, and thrown upon the neighbouring bank, dislodging the stones in the retaining wall. Another carriage also sustained serious injury; and the passengers in the train, besides the intense alarm which prevailed among them, from the violence of the collision, re ceived in many cases severe bruises, cuts, and other injuries. Some medical gentlemen present rendered every assistance in their power, and active exertions having been made to clear the line, the passage of the train was resumed in a short time afterwards, and the injured parties brought to Edinburgh.
