An offering from Frederika Bremer must alway s e acceptable. Her works never fail to please, and th e • one before us is worthy of her extended reputa tion. It consists of two sketches, " The Light 11(l use" and "Life in the North;" the fist is a tale, and the second is a narrative of the events of last Year in Denmark, with an account of the ablest authors and great men of that country. They are bath interesting, and perhaps their greatest charm consists in the simple yet elevating style which so Peculiarly distinguisties Miss Bremer's writings. To Use her own words, "We do not merely ainu‘e our selves, we become better while we are amused." The ! s ale spirit breathes through her works that charac terises Longfellow's poems—a spirit of earnestness and resolution. The following is undoubtedly true of Many of the " working world" : , " Ulna w as no l onger gay; s h e f e lt a t times disposed `" Weep over herself. That is the way with an infinite !amber of wom en. They feel themselves capable of receivi ng li fe and all things in one great an d b eaut i fu l : h ale. They believed th a t they should advance, were : t te ending in knowledge, in love, in joy, as in an upward 34 cling metamorphosis. Bat the stream of life has arried th em away to deso l ate reg i ons. Th e i r wor ld h as b th ey oppressive. They are incased by earthly cares; tho ughts, are cau g ht i n th e mes h es o f p e tty o bj ec t s , o f p e t t y t and petty cares. They are obliged themselves i t o f aros these very meshes. Then does life lose to them elsplend our , an d t h e m i n d i ts morn i ng b r i ghtness an d splendo ur , then is the soul dejected; then not unfre ctlaently does the tamper become soured, and the horizon . ? ?I' more con t rac t e d, ever more g l oomy . I n some tw '' al moment they cast an upw a rd g l ance o r look around : I d within themselves with sorrowful astonishment and vfrslain, ' Ought this to be so? Is life nothing more? sit for nothing else that I have existed?' And they ti e alember the yearnings of their youth. ' Dreams!' aY they then, heave a sigh and let fall a tear, and then again in the daily weaving and spinning until a 'V hav e s p un t h e i r s h rou d, an d th a t i s th e en d o f th e i r 4 aY on earth. 1 , 4 ;$ it is Rot merely so with women; no it is so Zmany, many men, gifted with fervent and richly uawed souls. Over the yard measure, the scales, over 41.( 3; ledger columns, or in the pulpit, day out and day in, i . they conscious of the past within themselves, the m; l ng, thinking, creative spirit blunted and deadened, 4 1 the heart buried, laid beneath the clod while it has , I , II Y lived. They also look up sometimes and say, -eior what purpose is this life? Why do I live?' B ede are all souls waiting for their Pentecost. Wait l; souls! Could I but let you feel, as certainly as I go w • i e it myself, that it comes ! And the glory of its re ' i tY will far exceed your most beautiful young I t „ stns." t;.5 recommend our readers to examine and judge 411 1 s volum e f or th emse l ves , no t d ou bti ng th a t one Peru all will derive satisfaction and benefit from its w i ,,„EIZA COOKS J.

It must, nevertheless, a a satisfaction t o h er su b scr ib ers to rece i ve t h a t as 'pion directly from h erse lf, spea ki ng t o th em i n a c l ef but comprehensive advertisement.

Her own we say advisedly, in conse- Olee of the following declaration made iu the ad tsi to her readers by Miss Cook respecting the pre -1414 character of her relation to the present miscel it,'"—" It is a prevalent i m pr ess i on ," she observes, elv ulLt the periodical which bears my name is not my tot 4 property. Believing," she continues, " that ti fYing this mistake, and giving a distinct an ewilricenient of my sole responsibility for, and k e ll ership of, the Journal, will be hailed by g tl Y with satisfaction, I h ave t a k en thi s °.rtunity to state the fact, and with every hope of a l : k ly ing a yet wider support than hith er t o ."

The success of the house during the last few months has been very great, and for this the management is unquestionably indebted to the Island of Jewels, the last scene of which has never been equalled for effulgent magnificence. 5 7 ; (F'rcm tilt, Votes and freccedings Qt* the 1ip...a,.

The Committee divided : MARYLEBONE THEATRE. Au amateur dramatic performance took place at this theatre on Thursday evening, in aid of the funds of the Marylebone Literary and Scientific In stitution—an institution deserving the most extended support. The house was crowded to excess. It was with peculiar satisfaction that we witnessed so large an assembly on the occasion ; for, trust ing that the manifestation of interest in the object which called it together may be regarded as a proof of increasing attention to education in general; and, con nected as the institution in question is with the cultiva tion of the talent and genius of the rising generation in its neighbourhood, we should be wanting in duty did we not carefully watch an d rea dil y l en d our ass i stance to anything that tends to the promotion of learning—any - thing that professes to smooth or improve the path that leads to the acquisition of knowledge. The pieces stlect , d for the evening's entertainment consisted of Lovell's excellent play of Love's Sacrifice, in which Alessrs. Roberts, Hunt, Larkin, G. R. Hunt, assisted by Miss T. Bassano, Miss Arden, and Miss Fitzpatrick, took part. Morton's farce of The Lion Boy followed, in which Miss Saunders appeared as Fanny Curry. The entertainments concluded with Courtney's drama /of lime Tries All. Towards the close of the evening standirg rcom was at a premium. We hope the ex pec!atious of the c ommit teewill be realised to the utmo s t, ut.d that the funds of the institution Rill receive most substantial benefit. WlLLts's ROOMS. —Signor Giulio Rrgondi, the celebrated performer on the concertina, gave matinee musicale at the above rooms yesterday. The concert-giver played the second and third movements of a concerto, and a fantasia on subjects from Le Prophete of his own composition. He also took part in three concertina quartets, and a duet for con certina and violoncello with Signor Piatti. In all of these he was highly successful, and received great applause. Many of the leading vocalists of the day appeared on the oc casion, and the concert went off very satisfactorily. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, THE TIMES LIFE ASSURANCE AND UARAN AA COMPANY.

The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by stating that the meeting bad been called by public advertise ment, in conformity with the provisions of the deed of settlement, and his first duty was to affix the seal of the company to the register of shareholders. [This was done accordingly.] The Manager would read the report of the directors to the meeting, but previous to his doing so he (the Chairman') would call their attention to one or two facts connected with their Institution. The Times Life Assurance and Gua rantee Company had not been in existence more than 18 months. This was their first annual meeting, and he was quite sure the encouraging aspect of their affairs indicated the steady progress they had been making, whilst it afforded an assurance of their future pros perity, and a guarantee that although at this moment their balance-sheet did not present so large an amount of profit as was realised by older societies, they should have a sure and steady increase in this respect in future. The report would show the amount of busi ness executed during the past year. The gross sum assured by 217 policies, being the number completed up to the 29th May last was 83,2221., producing an annual income of 1,180/. 1 ls. 7cl.—(Hear, hear.) The directors of this company had had a very large amount of business proposed to them, but, from various circumstances, they had thought it their duty to re ject, or rather decline, on prudential grounds, many proposals for assurance which had been made to them. The total number of proposals made to the company to the 29th May last was 391, of the aggregate amount of 133,5171., and producing an annual in come of 2,218/. ss. 4d. ; but, although a great num ber of those proposals which had been rejected had been of a good and satisfactory character, yet in rejecting them the directors kept in mind that the in stitution was yet young, and felt that it was better to do a steady and sure business at that stage of its existence than to incur any great responsibility by multiplying the chances of risk.—(Hear, hear.) The policies completed and paid upon since the company had been established amounted to 217, of an aggregate amount of 83,222/., and producing an annual income of 1,180/. 1 la. 7d. The proposals accepted, of which the premiums were not yet paid, were 62, with an aggregate amount of 11,150/., and producing an annual income of 2011. 10s. Bd. The proposals not yet completed and under consideration were 45, of the aggregate amount of 9,4251., and an annual in come of 188/. 18s. Gd. Tne proposals declined were 67 in number, with an aggregate amount of 29,7201., and an annual income of 647/. 4s. 7d. Now he thought that when the report and balance-sheet, which the Manager would read to „,them, were laid before the meeting they would find that the affairs of this company were in a most satisfactory condition. They had not as yet achieved any very great results; they had been rather the more anxious to do a steady and a permanent business. During the past year there had prevailed throughout England a tearful epidemic, destructive of life to an awful ex tent in all our large cities and towns, and which had produced an almost total suspension in the business of this office for very nearly three months, so that it might be said, the period of actual business had not exceeded nine months. He thought it right to bring these facts before the shareholders, because, if the directors had carried on their business during the period to which he had referred, they might to-day have shown a much larger amount of business, but he believed it would have been accompanied with immense loss. At the same time the directors had been careful not to refuse a proposal which they could comply with safely. It was satisfactory for him to be able to say, that during the whole of the company's existence they had not incurred a single loss.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) During the past year they had some changes in their directory. They had to lament the retirement of Messrs. Bidgood and Elliott. Hitherto the directors bad served the company almost gratuitously—(Hear, hear)—a circumstance which had enabled them to show a larger balance than they could otherwise have done; and he believed it was their intention to continue to do so. They had had to regret the demise of one of their colleagues, Adam Gerrard, E3q., who, during the prevalence of cholera had died after a short illness. They felt it the more because their deceased friend was a gentleman of great energy and of distinguished talent, and he was ever active in promoting the the prosperity of the in stitution among his friends and connexions. —(Hear, hear.) He (the Chairman) would not occupy the time of the meeting further than by stating that the company had a sur plus of income over their expenditure. The details of that expenditure and income he believed were in the hands of every gentleman pre sent, and if he could give the body of shareholders any further information as to the affairs of the com pany he should be happy to do so during the course of the meeting.—(Cheers.) He would now call upon the Manager to read the report. Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN then read the report, as follows : FIRST REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS, JUNE 7TH, 1850. The directors have much pleasure in meeting the shareholders for the first time in accordance with the deed of settlement, and beg to lay before the meeting the general balance-sheet of the company's affairs made up to the 30th day of April last. Pursuant to the terms of the deed of settlement the following directors retire, but being eligible are candi dates for re-election, viz. —Thomas Nathaniel Baker, Esq., Charles Latham, Esq., Louis de Alas:lac, Esq.; John Lilwall, Esq., Archibald F. Paul, Esq. The following auditors also retire from office, by the provisions of the company's deed of settlement, but teing eligible are recommended by the directors for re-elec tion; viz.:—William Abbott Kent, Esq., and Daniel Pratt, Esq. The company was completely registered under the 7th and Bth Victoria, cap. 110, on the Ist day of June, 1849, and the amount of business transacted as exhibited by the balance-sheet now produces, embraces a period, there fore, of eleven months, during which time the directors have mainly devoted their attention to the organization of extensive and efficient agencies in various party of the country, and the appointment of skilful and eminent medical men to act as the company's le ferees, and who, in addition thereto, would assist the agents to the utmost of their power in advancing the interests and increasing the business of the company. The directors feel that this part of their duties in volved results of the highest importance to the share holders and the company ; and have the satisfaction of announcing, that upwards of three hundred carefully se lected persons have been already appointed to act as agents and medical referees ; and it is the intention of the directors to proceed with ..the utmost vigour in the increase of that number. The directors wish to draw the particular attention of the shareholders to the circumstance, that almost imme diately after the complete registration of this company in the summer of last year, nearly every part of the United Kingdom, particularly the metropolis, was afflicted by the severest epidemic visitation which has been known in this country since the great plague of 1665, and which for months spread terror and dismay in every direction; and so fearful was the mortality in this locality, and in one or two instances so narrow had been the escape of the company from severe loss, that the directors decided on not taking assurance business until the sickness had abated. In looking, therefore, at the amount of business trans acted by this company, it must be borne in mind that, allowing three months only as the time during which the cholera raged, the period for actual business has not ex ceeded nine months. It is, therefore, with feelings of the liveliest satisfac- tion that the directors beg to draw the attention of the shareholders to the following statement, feeling assured that under the above circumstances the hopes and wishes of the most sanguine supporters of the institution must be more than realised: — Gross sum assured by 217 Policies, being the number completed up to the 29th of May last Producing an annual income of No. Aggregate Annual - "u Amount. Income. Total number of proposals made to the company, to the 29th of May last 391 £133,517 £2,218 5 4 Psoposals completed and • paid upon 217 £83,222 £l,lBO 11 7 Proposals accepted, and premiums not yet paid 62 11,150 Proposals not completed, and under consideration 45 9,425 188 18 6 Proposals declined .. 201 10 8 Total ..... 391 £133,517 £2,218 5 4 The directors take the above statement as sufficiently demonstrative of the success of the company during the period it has been in operation, and as fully justifying the expcetztion, that at! tic nextgenelal meeting results still no_.r;:: la.ti4.l,tory tisitliii exl.;htte cc the ,or_rt sup ,er6, ;:g gene; al maehii,,y of tin- ( otup-any -ic,ill,-by that time, be materi ally iLcre,:sed and improved. The directors feel that the atttntion of the share holders Way possibly be drawn to the large emount or annual income njceted, under the head of eh ciined poli cies, they the nlore beg to assure the meeting, th.tt although they have been can L.l not to n fuse a cese' which promired safety to the office, still, in the discharge of their duty, and having regard to the losses sustained by other companies, they have been obliged to ;ejPct a great number cf propoaals ; believing that, without the most judicious selection is the first year ( f the compan) 's exigence, premature losses might arise which would not only cripple the resources a the company, and press with severity on the shareholders, but materially d :lige: the very existence of the institution—and whilst adverting to this point, the shareholders are congratu lated that not a single loss has been sustained by the company. The directors have much pleasure in remarking that the average amount of each policy does sot exceed 3501.; and the directors feel that it would be needless to point out to the shareholders the various advantages arising from this class of assurance, and from spreading the po licy liabilities of the company over so large a surface. The directors have also much satisfaction in drawing the attention of the meeting to the success which has attended the guarantee branch a the com pany's business—a great many institutions having accepted the guarantee of the company;. indeed, the confidence felt by the commercial world in the guarantee policies of this company is certainly exhibited by the circumstance, that although the company has been so recently instituted, still this department has al ready been supported by several of the leading railways, bankers, charitable institutions, and other corporate bodies, in addition to private mercantile establishments. The system of applying mutuality to guarantee, first introduced to the public by this company, is also meet ing with the most marked success, and is now under the consideration of some of the largest corporations cf the day, with a view to its adoption, it being generally felt as a truth that by making the guarantee premiums an investment instead of a t ax upon the labour and honesty of individuals, the only o bj ect i on that has been made to public guarantee is at once removed, and the chances of dishonesty materially lessened. The directors continue to dispose of the shares of the company—and invite the shareholders and their other friends to co-operate with them in making every exer tion to obtain good and responsible persons to subscribe for the remaining capital ; in every case up to the pre sent time care has been taken, and the directors feel gratified in stating that the shareholders are men of known capital, standing, and respectability, fully calcu lated to give strength and support to an institution of this character. The directors also wish to urge upon the shareholders the importance of their individually exerting themselves in every possible way to promote the prosperity of the institution which affords so many advantages to the assuring public, and which, regarding the guarantee, is fraught with such s t er li ng ben e fi t to th mercantile world. It is proposed that interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum should be paid upon the subscribed capital. The directors beg to lay before the meeting the regis ter of directors' attendances, by which it will be se en that they have, by their individual attendances, spared no exertion to promote the prosperity and success of this company, knowing that such success must mainly depend upon the amount of zeal, care, and attention be stowed upon it by all those persons who are interested in the result. The CHAIRMAN begged leave to move the adoption of the report, and he should be happy to hear any gentleman who wished to address the meeting. Mr. THOMAS WINKIVOIITH, in seconding the adop tion of the report, said, although he was connected with another kindred institution, his appearance at this meeting was an adequate proof of the interest he took in this company. Although there was an old saying that two of a trade could never agree—(A laugh)—he did not think he formed an exception to that rule. In point of fact, he was not exactly in the same trade with this institution. He was a part ner in it, and he was also a partner in another society which was not exactly iden. tical with this ; and if it were otherwise, still he felt assured the field was sufficiently large for all of them to succeed.—(Hear, hear.) He thought it was a rule in political economy that no company could prosper on the downfall of another, for when ever they disturbed the confidence which the public had in joint-stock companies they did a mischief to all who were engaged in them.—(Hear, hear.) He must say the report w hi c h h a d b e e n read wa s ver y satisfatory ; and h e h ope d t h a t th e b us i n e s s, ca rri e d on up to the present time in a manner which was so satisfactory to themselves, would be more than satisfactory at their next anniversary. The field was exceedingly large in which companies like this might operate ; and if they looked around throughout the United Kingdom, and also abroad— for there was yet much to be done abroad in the way of life assurance—they would find how small a portion of that field was yet occupied ; and therefore the greater the activity pisplayed by this and similar companies in a greater degree would the public avail themselves of the objects and benefits of those institutions. Having been connected with this company from its first inception he might be allowed to say he felt a great degree of interest in its welfare, and he was convinced that it would go on and prosper. To the directors he begged to tender his thanks for the manner in which they had conducted its affairs, and he had great pleasure in seconding the resolution.—(Applause.) The resolution was then put and carried unani mously. The CHAIRMAN then said the next business they had to consider was the re—election of the retiring directors and auditors, who were eligible, and pre sented themselves as candidates for re-election. The retiring directors were Mr. T. N. Baker, Mr. Louis de Massiac, Mr. Charles Latham, Mr. John Lil wall, and Mr. A. P. Paul. The Rev. JONATHAN GEORGE begged to move the re-election of Messrs. Baker, De Massiac, Latham, wall, and Paul as directors. He should be excused from making any lengthened remarks; 'but he might say he thought the two grounds on which a motion of this kind should rest were, first, the thorough ap• probation and satisfaction of the shareholders of the way in which the business of the company had been conducted by the directors, and secondly, his own close and intimate knowledge of the character and conduct of some at least, if not the whole, of the retiring directors, as men of pro bity, character, business, and high respectability ; and he therefore most cordially moved the re-election of them. Mr. RICKERBY seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said the following gentlemen re tired as auditors, but were also eligible for re-elec tion—Mr. \Villiam.A. Kent and Mr. Daniel Pratt. Mr. JOHN LILWALI, said he had great pleasure in moving the re-election of those gentlemen es auditors. They had already very satisfactorily filled the efface of auditors, and that was the best guarantee the shareholders had of their fitness for the post. Mr. CHARLES LATHAM, in seconding the resolu tion, said he might be allowed , he trusted, to advert to the general advantages of lif e assurance an d th e gua rantee business. lie was thi n ki ng o f th e diff eren t tastes of individuals which divided them into particular groups. There were some gentle menwere very m uch disposed to l oo k w i th pecu li ar in terest pre stonF'etnhte he study of ea botanical taste, who flowers, for instance; but he thought, with all their beauty, vari e t y o f co l o ur, a n d tint, and shape, and scent, there w ere grou p s o f s till i an bein gs —( gphseorf flowers. He thought order of i m portance — such a o ne as we found i n and he, for one, was a ht g he r e e mr a e t e e wa r rel i tr n e t g e g r r or e o s uu t pp t s i s i a oo n ff groups r u o i great ad m i rer of a group of that kind, and especially Heur, hear)— our domestic establishments. We l oo k e d on t h at group with peculiar interest, because it had attractions which the vegetable kingdom did not possess. It sometimes happened with that little group, which they might take as a kind of miniature representation of the entire world, that its liveliness was interrupted, or rather the beauty and harmony of it, by the loss of one of its members. But it sometimes occurred that a greater loss than that was sustained, deplora ble though that might be; occasionally the maternal head of that family was snatched away, and the ten derness and happiness which she had diffused over that little group was far ever withdrawn, and only faintly compensated by the care and attention of another. But still there had been left the more important head, in many respects—he meant the father. It now and then, however, also happened that that more import ant head, engaged as he was in commercial or pro fessional pursuits, was snatched away with equal suddenness. The very anxiety, indeed, which he felt for those dependent upon bins might cause such in jury to his health as to bring him prematurely to his end. li e h a d a case b e f ore him, in whi c h a man in the receipt of a good income, had been suddenly re moved by death, but who had not left anything like a competency to those who survived him ; and h e (Mr. Lath am ) f eare d h e had not availed himself of the benefits which institutions like this offered to every provident man.—(Bear, hear.) It was in con sideration of the uncertainty of life that societies of this kind had their origin, and they only demanded from an individual a sum which he, from his own choice, thought proper to pay; and though his death should occur the day after a policy was executed and effected, the sum insured was immediately available to his surviving relatives. That showed the great importance of institutions of this kind. He might just advert to one more case, and that was of an individual of that isolated charac ter, who stood in the position of something like a little island in the vast Pacific ocean—he meant, of course, au unmarried man.—(Laughter.) Such an indivi ;nal might say he was quite apart from the world, that he had no partner and no descendants; but still that individual could not say those societies had nothing to do with him, for it might so happen ttieek the heel of skill or energy he might called 'A to' rietiefetsle the = situation wheal he map live tined with ere (lit ; that he might resign or in ie 't have a gentle -hint thriee—he- had -better retire. Now in cases of that kind this secisty provided an annual sum to any person according to the age at which he thought propeer to join it. lie thought that this society commended itself to the family men, to whom he had the honour to belong, and also to those %el - Jo were unmarried.—(Year, hear.) With respect to the guarantee department, there sere many persons of great talent and respectability who, having the offer of lucrative employment, were unable to avail themselves of it from their inability to give the re quired security. Persons were often placed in posi tions of the greatest delicacy in being called upon to give that security by young men who had a claim upon their kind offices, and who, in default of that friendly turn being extended to them, would have to give up opportunities and chances of well-doing in the world which might never return.—(Hear, bear.) That was a strong argument in favour of guarantees being provided by public companies, and such guarantees it was one of the objects of this institu tion to furnish.—(Cheers.) Mr. Latham concluded by bearing his testimony to the indefatigable assiduity which the directors had evinced in conducting the affairs of the company. The resolution was carried without a dissentient. Mr. D. PRATT then moved a resolution to the effect that interest at the rate of 41. per cent. should be paid upon the subscribed capital. Mr. Maecoaar, in seconding the motion, felt assured the directors would not have made that proposal un less they were perfectly satisfied they could do it safely. This resolution was also agreed to. Mr. W. A. KENT had great pleasure in moving that a trifling sum be awarded to cover the necessary expenses of the directors during the past year. The time, labour, and responsibility which- were entailed upon gentlemen who sought to establish an institution of this kind could onlybe estimated by those who like himself bad witnessed it. There were plenty of per sons ready to join such a society when it was esta blished, and " to take their fill ;" but not so many to lend their assistance to its formation. He begged, therefore, to propose that 701. be allowed for the ex' penses of the directors during the past year. Mr. D. PRATT seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. MALCOLM proposed a vote of thanks to the directors fur their services. Mr. EDWARDS seconded the resolution. He thought the directors were entitled to the respect and confi dence of the meeting for the way in which they had conducted the affairs of the company, and coupled with the consideration that they had given their ser vices gratuitously, he thought the thanks of the meeting were peculiarly due to them. Mr. Edwards then took occasion to throw out a suggestion to the meeting to the effect. that the principle of assurance might be made available to the numerous class of persons who held leases of property for terms - of years, by the application of which those leaseholds might be rendered equivalent to a freehold interest. The resolution was put and carried by acclamation. Mr. LJLWALL moved a vote of thanks to the ma nager and other officers of the company. To their medical officers, their actuary, their standing counsel, and the officers generally, the obligations of the share holders were severally due. With regard to their friend Mr. Sheridan, the manager, every one of them must have noticed the great zeal and activity he hud displayed in promoting the interest of the company. —(Hear, hear.) The balance-sheet proved that he had conducted the business of the coul ee ny with very great success. Mr. Sheri dan was, therefore, entitled to the thanks of the meeting, and he (Mr. Lilwall) moved those thanks accordingly. He had also great pleasure in bearing his testimony to the singular care which the medical officers had shown to protect the interests of the company. Mr. Farnell, the consulting actuiry, had also paid great attention to its business. Their solicitors, one of whom, Mr. Edwards, was present, were also entitled to the best thanks of the meeting. He would just for a moment refer to the guarantee department of the company. He thought that branch of their business was not only calculated to prove re munerative and satisfactory to the general body of the shareholders of the company, but was also likely to be productive of great public benefit.—(Hear, hear.) Every person, instead of applying to a friend for security, and so placing his friend in a most de licate position, could now come to the public gua rantee department of this society, and make a pro posal which would be at once accepted. He had great pleasure in moving the thanks of the meeting to the officers of the company generally. Mr. W. A. KENT seconded the resolution, which was carried without a dissentient. Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN, the manager, said it was cus tomary for persons like himself, standing in the rela tion of officers of a public institution such as this, to acknowledge the sense they entertained of compli ments paid to them by the body of their proprietors. On the part of himself and the other officers he had to express his lively sense of the acknowledgments of the meeting of the manner in which his brother offi cers and himself had discharged the duties that bad devolved upon them. He could only say for them and himself, that they would continue to strive with the same amount of energy to promote in every way the success and welfare of this institution. Mr. BAKER, in moving a vote of thank to the au ditors, briefly bore testimony to the assiduity which they had evinced in discharging the duties entrusted to them. Mr. WAGSTAFFE had much pleasure in seconding the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. J. BROWN, in moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman, took occasion to lament the apathy which existed in the public mind with respect to life assu rance. The people, he said, would not "go wash in the pool of Siloam." As respected their relation to this company, he thought the shareholders and di rectors were like ants or bees—they were all bringing honey to the hive. They should do their utmost to disseminate a knowledge of its advantages among their friends and connexions, beginning with their domestic servants, going through their more intimate relations, their trading friends, and every class of in surers within their influence. The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compli ment. He regretted that his Parliamentary duties had left him so little time to assist in carrying out the objects of this institution, in whose welfare lie took a deep interest. Life and fire assurance was a thing almost exclusively confined to England; and he thought a great deal might be done by awakening public attention to its benefits on the continent gene-- rally. The directors of this institution, through the instrumentality t f their friend, M. Louis de Massiac, were now endeavouring to bring its merits into notice in Hamburgh and Stettin. By means of institutions of this kind men were urged to have regard to their temporal existence, just as Christianity taught them to look forward to their future life. The principle of life insurance, he believed, was first developed iu the seventeenth century, when it had long to combat with the prejudices of the people, for at that time there was as great a reluctance felt to effect a life assurance as to make a will, because in insuring their lives they almost thought they wereinsuring their deaths.—(A laugh.) The tables of this institution were so econo mically constructed as to fall within the means of the whole middle class of this kingdom, and it had pecu liar claims on their attention and support— (Applause.) The meeting, which was of the most satisfactory kind throughout, then separated.

The beneficiaires were very flatter ingly received, and their vocal efforts were throughout of a nature eminently calculated to sustain the excellent reputa tion they have long enjoyed as concert singers. .1 UN E 8, 1850 JOB AND POST MASTERS' PRO " 77 ' VIDENT FUND. The - -seventh Lnnivers4ry of this laudable insti tution was culayMed at the London Tavern last evening. The chair way occupied by the president, his Grace the Duke cf Richmond, who was supported, on his right, by the founder, the Hon. P. S. Pierrepont, Mr George Cooke, Air. Richard Lee, Mr. Brice Pearse, &c. ; and, on his left, by his eldest son the Earl of March, Count Ritthyany, and Mr. Percy Williams. About 220 gentlemen sat down to dinner, and amongst the company we noticed the Rev. John Sydeuham, Mr. R. Tattersall, Mr. Edmund Tattersall, Mr. Richard Tattersall, jun.. Mr. Thomas Gullan, Mr. Sydenhana Nodes, Mr. John Bell, Mr. Horace Bell, Mr. Henry Wimbush, Mr. Dickinson, Mr. Collins, Mr. East, &c. &c. Upon the cloth being removed, " The health of her Majesty and her royal consort Prince Albert" was drunk with all the honours. The CHAIRMAN said that the next toast he had to propose was " The health of _his Royal Highness Albert Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family." He trusted that his Royal Highness would receive such an education that, if it pleased Providence to spare him to hereafter become the ruler of this kingdom, he might be enabled fully to appre ciate the English character, and reign over a pros perous, united, and happy people.—(Cheers.) He hoped that, ere long, his Royal Highness would be enabled to make his appearance in the hunting field, because, while ha considered it an amusement worthy of any nobleman or gentleman, he had there an oppor tunity of becoming acquainted with other members of English society, who, though perhaps not equal in rank to those among whom he generally moved, were at least equally worthy of being known to him.— (Cheers.) He would not recommend that he should become the proprietor of race-horses, as that might be attended with some danger; but he would be glad to see his Royal Highness taking part in all manly national sports; and no harm could possibly arise to him from being early taught to keep his horse's head well up when the hounds were running into deep cover.—(Cheers and laughter.) The next toast drunk was " The Army and Navy," which not being acknowledged for a short time, Mr. MALLALUE rose near the bottom of the room, and said that he regretted that there was no officer of the army present to return thanks for the honour be ! stowed upon her Majesty's service. He regretted it was not in his power to do justice to the toast, but having had the honour to serve as a private in that army of which the Dukes of Wellington and Rich mond had been such distinguished ornaments, in the years 1809-10-11, and 12, he c o uld no t l e t he toast pass without returning his humble thanks for the way in which it bad been drunk.—(Cheers.) He had en tered the army, or rather the militia, when very young, and had afterwards joined the 9th Dragoons, and had the honour to serve at Barossa and other places in the Peninsula, where the army covered itself with glory under the command of that distinguished individual the Duke of Wellington, whom he looked upon as the greatest captain of this or any other age. —(Loud cheers.) lie was proud of having been a soldier, and begged again to return his sincere thanks for the honour conferred upon that and the sister service, to which this country owed so much. The Duke of RICHMOND said, in proposing the toast of the evening, he could not help expressing his gratification sit seeing an old soldier rising to acknow ledge the last toast, the more especially as the medals pendant at his breast evinced that he had done his duty.— (Loud cheers.) He must object. however, to that part of his address in which he said that he could not make a good speech.—(Cheers.)—for he spoke in that straightforward and honest manner which dis tinguished a true-bong Englishman, and would al ways come home to the hearts of those who heard him.—(Cheers.) He would now proceed to address himself to the more immediate business before there, and in doing so he must be allowed to expess the gratification which he always felt in attending meet ings of that kind, where a ll p ar ti es , w ith out reerence to their political opinions, could meet in the promo tion of works of charity on neutral ground.— (Loud cheers.) He was glad to be enabled to congratulate them upon the prosperous state of their society, as, notwithstanding that was only their seventh anniversary they had invested in the funds not less than B,aoo/.—(Loud cheers.) On a former occasion he had pointed out the peculiar advantages of so cieties of that description, and he might have been in duced to do so again had he not had placed in his hand a small pamphlet which contained his former speech, and which he would not therefore repeat. He might be allowed to state, however, that institutions of this description were particularly valuable, as no one in the present state of society could tell who would have money to. morrow and who would not. That so ciety hail been established for the purpose of providing for the families of those subscribers who might fall into poverty ; and it must be a source of great gratifi cation to the whole of its m em b ers t o k now th at t h ey, by their own providence, made a provision for their widows and children without the necessity of their applying to the union workhouse.—(Cheers.) Those societies were founded on the great principle of doing unto others as they wished should be done unto them, and the manner in which the one whose claims he was then advocating had been supported he thought highly creditable to its members.—(Cheers.) If they only looked at the names of those who had the management of their funds, they would have a full assurance that they were carefully husbanded and distributed with the most perfect justice and impar tiality—(Cheers)—and he believed the society only required to be better known to the public to ensure its being even better supported than it had hitherto been.—(Cheers.) With regard to himself, he re - gretted that he had not had the pleasure of presiding last year in consequence of illness ; and when he wrote to his friend their worthy treasurer (Mr. Richard Tattersall), who he was sorry was unable to attend that night in consequence of indisposition, to inform him that he could not attend, he had stated that he would be always happy to do everything in his power to promote the prosperity of the institution, and he now begged to repeat that assurance to them —(Cheers)—and, though he might not be in the chair, he would feel the greatest pleasure in being allowed to take part in their proceedings.—(Cheers.) The Noble Duke concluded by proposing prosperity to the institution, amidst loud cheers. The Hon. P. S. PIERREPONT rose to move the next toast. He believed there were very few present who were not in some way or another connected with horses—(Cheers)—and no doubt many of them were so with race-horses, and were aware that nothing was more easy than to ride the winner. —(Cheers and laughter) The toast he was about to propose was, " Tne health of their worthy President, the Duke of Richmond."—(Loud cheers.) He had no doubt they all felt with him that the subject of his toast had not only been a frequent winner, was of the highest blood, and had run often in public, but that he could always he depended upon for his mettle and steadiness.— (Cheers and laughter.) He was glad to see that he was supported by the masters of three fox-hounds, and as probably no parties had greater objections to long-winded speeches, though they admired clear winded horses, he would not further detain them, but at once propose to them the health of his Grace the Duke of Richmond.—(Cheers and laughter.) The Noble CHAIRMAN begged to return his sincere thanks to the gentlemen present for the way in which they had drunk the toast, and to his Honourable Friend in particular for the manner in which he had proposed it. His Hon. Friend had said it was very easy to ride the winning horse, but he could assure them it was a most difficult task to find a horse to win a lerge stake.—(Cheers and laughter.) He was now speaking a few days after the running of the Derby, when he had hoped to be a winner; an d, though they might observe how ill he now spoke, would have spokenhebelievedthey, could hardly imagine how well he had he been a winner.—(Cheers and laughter.) He believed that lie would have had a good chance to be so had not his horse met with an accident, though he was not prepared to say that had he not met with that accident he could have beat a horse which appeared to him to win so easy as did Voltigeur.—(Cheers.) He always took a great interest in horse racing—though betting was a different thing, and might, perhaps, be carried a little too far—and he was one of those who would never countenance anything but the most straightforward conduct among those who took part in that sport.— (Cheers.) For the same reason that he approved of the hunting field, that it brought men of different classes together, he was always glad to see a race course, where the peer and tie peasant were jostling together, and there was no distinction between the rich and the poor, all being alike unitedly engaged in the enjoyment of a great national amusement. — (Cheers.) He was glad to see that the Derby-day was made a kind of national holiday, as he was not one who held that men ought to work six days in every week, and he hoped next week to meet nearly as many happy faces at Ascot as he had seen at Eps( 4 n.—(Cheers.) There was no race in the country, however it might be frequented by royalty or nobility, at which he did not like to observe, inter mixed with the re s t o f th e com p a ny, the independent l the yeoman, the p ersever i ng t ra d esman , and, above al honest l a bo urer smo ki ng hi s pipe and giving h is opinion on the merits of the horses.—(Cheers.)

The allocution of the Pope, promulgated on the 20th ult. at Rome, after expressing the thanks of his Holiness to the various Catholic Powers who had interfered by force of arms for the restoration of his temporal authority, thus proceeds:— ` " Hitherto wo have reminded you of what has caused us an agreeable satisfaction. Now, pressed by the duty of our apostolic ministry, we have to say what deeply disturbs our heart, and fills it with anguish. You are aware of the f r i g h t f u l war now going on between light and darkness, truth and error, vice and virtue, Bella' and Christ, and you are not ignorant by what proceedings hostile men endeavour to trample under foot the thing's of our holy religion, to tear up to the last root of all Christian virtues, to corrupt by mortal errors men's minds and hearts, particularly of the inexperienced multitude, and of imprudent youth, and to destroy from top to bottom, it possible, the Ca tholic Church, and overturn the holy chair of St. Peter. Every one sees with what calamities the flock of Jesus Christ, confided to our care, and human so ciety itself, are attacked and torn to pieces. In conse quence, venerable brethren, now more than ever, we are bound by union, zeal, example, and efforts of all kinds, to raise up a wall of defence before the house of -Israel, and to wage valiantly the battle of the Lord. For our selves, we feel fully convinced of our weakness, but lean ing on the help of God, and constantly raising our eyes towards Jesus, we shall spare neither cares, nor counsels, nor labours, to give strength to the house, to fortify the temple, to repair the ruins of the church, and to pro vide for the safety of all, ready to give our life for our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Church. And here, addressing all our venerable brethren, the Bishops of the Catholic universe, asked to share our. solicitude, whilst congratulating them warmly on their illustrious labours for the glory of God and the safety of souls, we encourage them, in order that in this horrible war against our divine religion, taking in hand the in expugnable shield of God, and girding on the sward of the spirit, which is the Word of God, they may rise up to combat intrepidly in favour of our. holy religion, and by their pastoral virtue, constancy, and prudence, break the attack of their enemies. and defend the flock committed to their care. In addition, we call on our venerable brethren not to cease to exhort and encourage the ecclesiastics to appear in all things models of good work; and, united amongst themselves by the strict bond of charity, to put on the divine armour of God, and march to combat with one heart and one soul, placing in common all their forces, and, under the conduct of their Bishop, raising night and day their sacerdotal voices, preaching with ardour to the Christian people the.law of God and the prescriptions of the Church, his spouse. Let our venerable brethren not cease either to impress on the ecclesiastics the duty of discovering to the Christian people the ambuscades and snares which are laid for them by deceitful men, and of remind ing believers that from sin spring all the misfortunes and calamities which overwhelm nations, and that true and solid felicity consists in the observance of the Christian law. Let them spare nothing, that all, detesting what is evil and pursuing what is good, may march in the way of the commandments of God, and that they who are misled, snatched from the gloom of error and the filth of vice, may be converted to the Lord. Already, venerable brethren, we have informed you of the great consolation which has been given us in the midst of so many pangs of anguish, when we' learned the decrees issued by our very dear son, Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary, and King of Bohemia —decrees by which, following the inspirations of his piety, accomplish ing our desires and our requests, and the desires and the Cr quests of our venerable brothers, the bishops of his vast empire, to the glory of his name, and the joy of all men of worth, he has, in concert with his ministers, and out of his ardent Matt, ensured in his states the liberty so much desired of the Catholic Church. SC great an act, an act so worthy of a Catholic prince, deserves the encomiums wl.ich we give to this illustrious Emperor and King, felicitating him warmly in the Lord. We indulge in the gratifying hope that this Prince of so religious a char seer will be pleased, in his zeal for the good of the Church, and continuing his work, end carrying it on to perfection, to arrive at the highest point of merit. Bat whilst we were deliver ing ourselves up to this consolation, a cruel grief fell on us, from seeing how its another Catholic kingdom are treated the things of our most holy religion, and how the sacred rights of the Church, and of the Holy See, are trampled on. You comprehend, venerable b. othren, that we speak of the subalpine kingdom, where, as ()wry one knows, a law has b• en promulgated, contrary to the laws of the Church and to the conven tions solemnly concluded with this Apostolic See, 1 arid where in these latter days —our soul is filled with grief at the thought, and all good men at Turin and in the whole kingdom are in mourning therefrom— the illustrious Pontiff of Turin, our venerable brother Louis Fransoni, torn by armed force from his -epis copal residence, was conducted to the citadel. As to the gravity of the fact, and the duty of our . charge for the defence of the rights of the Church de manded, we immediately, by the voice of our Cardinal Minister, made representation to that Government. first, against the above-named law, and next against the insult and violence offered to the illustrious arch bishop. We cannot now help, in our paternal solici citude towards the illustrious nation of the Belgians, which has always made itself remarked for its zeal for the Catholic religion, testifying publicly our grief at the sight of the perils which there menace the Catholic religion. We feel confident that henceforwaard their most serene king, and all in that kingdom who hold the helm of affairs, will reflect in their wisdom how much the Catholic Church and its doctrires tend to the tran quillity and temporal prosperity of nations; that they will be pleased to preserve in its integrity the safety riving strength of that same Church, and to consider as their most important task that of protecting and defend ing the holy prelates and the ministers of the Church."

These suspicious appearaneea are supposed by good practical farmers to have been produced by harsh winds—the stalks having been rubbed together, and their position in the gro un d a l tered. It is as yet too soon to form any opinion w or th acting upon. There have been at all times partial failures of the potato as well as other crops, arising from local circumstances, such as bad seed—badly adapted soils—frosts —harsh winds, kc.
