Capital £.500,000. • Empowered by Act of Parliament. This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred A.nnutles. Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage :—provi sion for the family of the Assured, and an augmenting pecuniary available resource to himse'f, if needful, whilel lying. The Assured has, en all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid. DIVISION OF PROFITS. The continued prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors at the Annual Meeting, held on the 10th of May, 1848, to declare a sixth bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent, on the Premiums paid ea each Policy effected on the profit scale.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con• tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, •r, 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 •f forfeiture from irability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, twe thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. 11.

In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, Assurances may be effected at ow Rates without participation in the Profits; or at moderate Rates with participation in one moiety of the Profits every seven years. At each of the three Septennial Divisions which this Company has made, the Bonuses amounted to about 1 per cent. per annum on the sum assured, or about 27 per cent. on the amount of premium received ; and the whole amount of Reversionary Bonus allotted by the Com pany exceeded 530,000/. LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have attained in each case a value not under 501. In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return if profit was declared on the 6th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1848, and the same is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted), between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and also by the Agents in the Country Districts. Notice is hereby given, that Assurances which expire at Lady Day must be renewed within fifteen days, at this office, or with Mr. San's, No. I, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall ; or with the Company's Agents throughout the kingdom, otherwise they become void. GEORGE KEYS, Secretary. PROMOTER LIFE ASSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY, 9, Chatham-place, Blackfriars, London.—Establishell in 1826. Subscribed Capital, 240,0001. This Society effects Assurances both on the bonus and non-bonus systems, at the option of the Assurer. Those who adopt the bones rates participate In three-fourths of the profits, whilst the following example illustrates what is the imme diate advantage secured by those who assure at the low, or non-par• ticipating rates of the office : Annual Premium required by those Societies which use the Northampton data, for an Assurance of 5,1/001., at 25 years of age .. . Promoter Premium for the like sum at the same age .. .. £l2O 4 2 91 0 10 Difference .. £29 3 4 The expectation of life, by the best tables, at 25 years of axe, is 37 years. And an annuity of 291 3s. 4d., accumulated at compound in terest for 37 years, at 5 per cent., will amount to 2,9641. 3s. l Id. There may have been instances where a larger bonus than that sum has been received, when the party has lived beyond the average du ration of life, but it Is difficult to conceive that all those who have assured for 5,0001. at 25 years of age, have had, on the average, such an addition to their policies.

For all stoma c h and bilious complaints, let the patient take Holloway's admirable pills, a pure herbal preparation, and for a time drink no wine, beer, or spirits, nor eat of fruits or vegetables.

MARGATE, TUESDAY NIGHT.—The two bodies picked up by the Nelson lugger, on being brought Pm e. ing. They rather seem to have perished in the water. the shape of large corks tied round the chest and identifica tion, but from some letters found upon the one, and a name written inside the boot of the other, there does not appear to be much doubt on the subject. . • The one, from hi s d ress , wou ld appear to have been 74, % the mate of the vessel. He wore blue trousers, black - frock coat, a pilot overcoat, and a south -wester. In his pockets were found three letters and a memo - - randum, but no money or other property of any de scription. One of the letters is written by a gentle.. - man named Roberts, who dates from Great Horner - street, Liverpool. It is addressed to Mr. William Gowler, chief mate of the Leeds steamer (this vessel belongs to the Dublin Company), and corn - municates the death of Gowler's wife. It is dated Ice as far back as February last. Another letter is written by Mr. P. Howell, and dated from the Dublin Steam-packet Company's offices, Eden-quay, ) Dublin. It complains of some irregularities on board the company's boats, and would appear to have been ' handed to the deceased by a Mr. Lane, to whom it is addressed. From this it might be inferred that the unfortunate man was an officer on board the !34 Leeds steamer, but a memorandum found in his : 5 ' waistcoat pocket seems to show that, at any rate, on )14 the present voyage, he was one of the crew of the Royal Adelaide. This memorandum runs : " Wilson and wife lost their ticket. To be allowed :% to pass free in the Royal Adelaide to London. t% "March 27, 1850. "J. LEFEBYRE." 1 The name of " Coe" is written on the boot of the A other deceased. Two shillings and a fourpenny piece s. ti were found upon him, and his pockets were com -3i pletely full of sand, showing that he must have driven about on th e b an k f or some time. It may be men -34 % tioned, also, that when found his neck was dislocated. es From his dre ss h e a p pears t o h ave b een a stoker or . fireman. The letters and memorandum book have I been handed over to Mr. Merchant, the superintendent of the Margate police, who wrote by last night's post , li to Mr. Roberts, to ascertain his wishes respecting the ° body of the deceased. The spot where this wreck took place is one of the most dangerous in the British Channel. It was within a few cables' length that a German emigrant ship went to pieces in October last, when nearly 200 lives were lost. The prudent course, in weather similar to that which prevailed on Saturday night, would have been to bring up in Margate-roads for the night. The Tongue lightship shows a steady white light, and the Girdler, which is about ten miles higher up the Chan nel, a revolving light. PLY3IOUTII, APRIL 2.—The Royal Adelaide steam ,, packet, belonging to the City of Dublin Steam • packet Company, which was totally lost on the Tongue Sand, off the North Foreland, at ten o'clock on Saturday night, the 30th ult., and so discovered by Captain Manning, of the Maleohn Brown screw- Ice _ steamer, on Sunday morn i ng , at e i g h t o ' clock, arrived at Plymouth at nine o'clock on Thursday evening, the 28th ult., from Cork, and landed here su five horses, thi r ty- e i g ht h ea d o f cattle, three calves, . nine pigs, some rice, butter, &c. She brought a b ou t six cabin, and sa y 150 deck passengers, from Ireland, and embarked six (adult) cabin and six (adult) deck passengers here ; and, having also shipped a quantity _of wool, left for London at half-past three o'clock on Friday morning (Good Friday), the 29th ult. She had fifty or sixty pigs on deck, but was only moderately • laden. The names of the cabin passengers who embarked here are—Hurst, 1; Withers, 1; Payne, 3; and Tucker, 1 ; and of the deck passengers, Welsh, 3 ; Squires, 1 ; liorrish, 1 ; and Thompson, 1. Hurst and Withers were respectable young women ; Payne, a married man, with his wife and th ree c hild ren ; they had their household furniture on board; Tucker, a young man of 30, apparently a mate in the merchant service, who said he was going to London to join a ship bound to New Zealand ; Welsh, a woman, and her three chil dren, 14, 9, and 6, going to Ramsgate to join her husband ; Squires, a young man. Of the others no. thing is known at present. Captain John Batty, who commanded the Royal Adelaide, had been upwards of twelve years master and mate of that vessel. Two mates, who had been some time in her, were discharged the voyage before last. Her present chief officer is stated to be a native of Plymouth ; the name of her second mate is North, apparently a native of London ; and her chief engi neer is from Liverpool. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Yesterday Mr. Brown, one of the owners of the Delight, arrived at Colchester with the following in formation :—IIe reports that in coming this morning, between the Mouse Light and Spitway, he saw a con siderable quantity of wreckage, such as cabin fittings (doors), wainscot colour; also many planks, with a great portion of the deck of a vessel, with two hatch ways in it, with six iron stays, apparently the engine deck of a steam-vessel. There has also been seen by the master of a fishing. boat, in the Wallett, &c., float ing on the surface of the water, some oats (black), with a small piece of boat, nearly new, and copper festened, apparently foreign built. The master of the Sarah, from Antwerp to Sheer ness, at present at Maldon, furnishes Lloyd's with further information on the melancholy subject. He says, on Tuesday he passed a great deal of wreck and wearing apparel in the river. They picked up some wearing apparel, amongst which was a gown, a girl's frock, apparently for a girl twelve years old, some baby-linen, two coarse blue socks, a tuscan bonnet with a plaid ribbon twice round it, &c. One of the hands fished up the fly-leaf of a book, with the fol lowing inscription :—" Joseph Welch, his book, given to him by his grandfather Welch. Joseph Welch, N 0.113, Cross -street." There was also a black lace cap, trimmed with narrow purple ribbon, with ribbon and lace rcsette on each side - --a S N 7 APRIL 3, 1850, PRIC_ES OF StIARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, ANT: OTHER COM.

The engines of the Dauntless, screw steam-frigate, by Napier, were tested on Monday at Portsmouth, alongside the dockyard. Steam was got up at nine o'clock, and kept up till three in the afternoon ; their working was perfectly satisfactory. The engines made 22i revolutions per minute, giving the fan 45, but it is expected that she will when at speed, make 60 fan revolutions. The Comet, steam-vessel, was taken into dock at Portsmouth on Monday, to be overhauled and pre pared for proceeding to the llebrides and the north of Scotland, under command of Captain Otter, for the purpose of prosecuting the survey of those parts. Captain Sherringham, Lieutenant Cox, and party, having finished the survey of the coast in the vicinity of Pool and Portland, will now proceed to Wey mouth, where their first object will be to ascertain whether the new breakwater has occasioned any al teration in the surrounding depths of water. Cap tain Sherringham will not have a vessel, but merely a boat's crew, to attend on his surveying party. The Sharpshooter, Lieutenant Commander Bailey, went out of Portsmouth on Monday morning, and anchored at Spithead, to take in her powder, &c. She sailed at 5 r.m.. for Lisbon and the Mediterranean. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY EvENING---We are glad to say the long prevailing south-east wind shifted last night, and we were favoured with some genial rain. The wind is now S.W., and the thermometer stands IS or 20 deg. higher than it has done for the last month. The American liner packet Southampton arrived from the river this morning. She embarked passen gers, and sailed in the evening for New York. The Rosamond: steamer, John Foote, commander, arrived on Saturday at Plymouth, and is waiting orders. The Cygnet, 6, David Robertson, commander, will be paid off on Thursday or Friday next, at Devon port. The Cygnet will at once be repaired and fitted again for commission. She will be taken into No. 3 dock, and artificers taken from the Exmouth to repair her. The Diligence transport, Tozer, master, now un loading stores from Pembroke at Devonport, is ordered to load with stores for Bermuda yard, and the squadron on the West India station. The Ringdove, 16, will be broken up at Devonport, when hands can be spared for that purpose. The Devon, lighter, Wood, master, sailed on Mon day from Devonport, with stores, for Pembroke. The Superb, 80, arri ve d an d anc hored in the Sound on Monday, at noon. ASSISTANT SURGEONS.—We have great satisfaction in announcing that the Royal College of Physicians of London have resolved unanimously to petition Parliament in behalf of the naval assistant-surgeons. The appeal from this body will doubtless be an ener getic one. The condition of these officers is now being made known throughout the whole country; and we understand that petitions to remedy their grievances will be forthcoming from every district in the kingdom.

Vansittartihaving course of study at the works of the steam-factory Woolwich dockyard, were examined as to their pro ficiency on Saturday last by Mr. Trickett, assistant to the chief engineer, and having been found well acquainted with the principles and practice of steam. engines, obtained highly satisfactory certificates. Commander Burnett and Lieutenant J. W. Vaughan, appointed to study steam at the factory here, have joined, and commenced their studies. The Megaira steam-sloop has had all her ballast taken out, and will leave Woolwich to-morrow for Sheerness, to be immediately made ready for sea ser vice. The engines worked well, making 74 strokes, of 2 feet 9 inches each, per minute, on her recent trial down the river, and with very little noise. The vessel is built of iron, 207 feet long, 37 feet 8 inches broad, and 24 feet 3 inches depth of hold ; her draught forward, 11 feet 4 inches ; and aft, 15 feet 3 inches, giving a mean of 13 feet 34- inches. Her burthen is nearly 1,700, but her act ua l displace ment during the trial was 2, 9 00 tons, and the exact speed at the measured mile iii Sea Reach 10.291. knots on the average runs, or 11.895 statute miles per hour. The vacuum in the baroineter was 27, and the horse-power exerted 1,200, as shown by the indicator. Tua ARCTIC EXPEDITION. —The Resolute, Capt. IL T. Austin, C. 8., was taken out of Mr. Green's dock at I3lackwall, yesterday afternoon, the greatest exertions having been made to get her ready for sea. It is intended that all the coals and tanks, and other heavy articles, should be put on board at Blackwell, but the whole will be completed, and the vessel taken to Woolwich about this day week. According to the present calculation s , it is expected the whole o f th e vessels will leave oolwich for Greenbithe on the Ist of May, and in a few days afterwards they will be towed, if requisite, to the Pentland Frith, on their enterprizing undertaking. A sleigh, convertible into a punt, was brought to Woolwich yesterday afternoon for trial. It consists of a frame like the frame of s sofa without a back, and the under part of the wood work for being used on the ice is covered with a narrow bar of iron. The mode of converting it into a punt for rowing in the water is very simple, being effected by taking out the gutta percha lining with which it is supplied when used as a sleigh on the ice or snow, and attaching it on the outside. The sheets of gutta percha are not very thick, which makes them as elastic as cushions when used on the ice, and the material is admirably adapted for keeping the officers and crews dry when resting in them during the night, although they are so close to the ground. The di mensions of the sleigh are eleven feet six inches long by three feet broad, and one foot three inches deep, and the whole is remarkably light, although sufficiently strong for the purposes for which it is intended. PLymoterer, APRIL 1.--The Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, returned to the Sound this morning from cruising in the Channel. She is to go up the harbour to refit. BILLINGSGATE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—After the improvements now going on at Bil lingsgate Market are completed, and the other con templated improvements in that quarter, such as the widening Lower Thames-street, by carrying back the houses on the north side oft the street, Billingsgate Market will then probably become a place of some public attraction. The pier HOW erecting abreast of the market is to be carried in a direct line from the Custom-house pier to Nicholson's Wharf; thus taking away the present fish wharf projecting out in the river. This will be a considerable improvement, inasmuch as that the fishing vessels will be enabled to lay alongside of the pier v‘ith some sort of regularity to get their cargoes discharged. The other principal improvement to be effected will be placing the wholesale shell fish market below the whole sale white fish market, and consequently from nine to ten feet under the surface of high water mark. I have not ascertained whether or not it is intended to take down the row of public-Louses which stand between Darkhouse-lane and the market. If that row of houses is to come down, the surface of the wholesale white fish market will then occupy a space of about 200 feet square, and as the wholesale shell fish market will be held in a space underneath, the great number of persons who go to Billingsgate every morning will then have ample room to transact business. In all large towns, or at least in prosperous parts of those towns, we invariably see parties follow the exam ple in building as they do in dress. When the old Coal Exchange, with its dingy-looking exterior, stood directly I opposite Billingsgate Market, it was then possible, whilst passing by, to look at the market without the eye being altogether ♦ery materially offended, Now, however, that the old Coal Exchange has been removed, and a new and splendid edifice erected, with lofty dome and gilded top, the erections of Billingsgate Market put one very much in mind of a person dressed in rags standing alongside of one who is gaudily attired. Where there is a plentiful supply of water, however, there can be little excuse for the body being dirty, although the ex terior attire may put on a rather sombre appearance from age. The face of the flags and tables of Billings gate :wholesale fishmarket are invariably scrubbed and washed pretty clean after the appointed hour, " One, P.M." The amount of capital to be involved so as to make Billingsgate Market vie in respectable appearance to its grand neighbouring buildings, the Custom-house and Coal Exchange, lam not exactly aware of. What ever the amount is to be, however, I expect those inte rested in fishery and; fish-market; improvements will not admit that the wholesale fish market of the metro polis of Great Britain should be looked upon con temptuously, or a forum of the least consideration in the heart of the city. Fishermen are producers of food, and all producers of food are deserving of space and convenience for transacting their business. The row of public-houses before alluded to, which stand between Darkhouse-lane and the market (if they are to be taken down), besides the convenience such an additional space would give to the frequenters of the market, the new Coal Exchange would be beautifully teen from the south side of London-bridge. All the way from Fishmongers' Hall, at the upper part of the north side of Lon don-bridge, as far as the eye can stretch below St. Katherine's Docks, the regular row of lofty ware houses, the Tower, the Custom- house, the new Coal Exchange, and several church spires, seen whilst look ing in that direction, presents to the view one of the most regular and beautiful scenes anywhere to be seen on the banks of the river Thames.—l am, Sir, &c., H. DEMPSTER. THE LATE FRAUDS ON THE HOUSE OF RATHBONE BROTHERS. It will be recollected that at the April borough sessions of 1849, John Meiklejohn, head warehouse• man to Messrs. Rathbone Brothers, was found guilty of having defrauded his employers of various amounts of money. He was sentenced to nine months' impri sonment, and at the expiration of the term to pay 2001. or to be further imprisoned until that amount should be paid. The term of his incarceration expired on the 4th of January last, and the 2001. was paid. Through the instrumentality of Kehoe, one of the detective force, it came to the knowledge of Messrs. Rathbone that Meiklejohn possessed property to be tween 3,000/. and 4,000!., invested in various public societies and companies, and through their attorneys they sued him in the Court of Exchequer for the re covery of the property which they could prove they had been defrauded of. Meiklejohn allowed judg ment to go by default, and yesterday a' Sheriff's Court was held in the Grand Jury Rooms, before Mr. Aston, barrister, to assess the amount. Mr. Crompton, Mr. Paget, and Mr. Ruston, bar risters, conducted the case for the plaintiffs. Mr. Crompton, at very considerable length, stated the case to the jury, and went fully into the circum stances of the frauds carried on by the prisoner, which are already known to the public. lie could, in ad dition to the amounts which would be proved before the jury, show a vast number of frauds, the expenses and difficulty attendant upon which had induced the plaintiffs not to bring them forward.

TUB RAILWAY DIRECTOL—Many people asked whe Captain Scott Dingle Was ; but it was a sufficient an swer to all inquiries, th a t he was a friend of the Member f or Yarlton. Dingle's fortune was made. He could see no end to the riches that were minting for him by the benevolent genii in Moorgate-street, who were about this time beginning to cluster on a spot destined to become famous in the annals of Bubbledom. Money , hitherto a myth, was now a reality to the Captain. The long-suppres se d asp i ra ti ons o f the gent l eman h a d vent at l as t . T he style of the outer man underwent a visible and i mportant c h ange. His moustachios were care fully oil e d ; he mounted a handsome open blue waist coat with military buttons, and just such coats, pan taloons, and boots, as became a dashing military man of a certain age. He looked almost handsome, and certainly very airy and gallant, as he stepped of a morning out of Feuillade's Hotel in the Opera Colonnade, and glanced up and down the street with a roguish sparkle in his eyes, as if he had come out to make conquests of all the women. It was a sight worth going a long way to see, he looked so happy and assured, as he stood pulling on his kid gloves in the most leisurely manner, and swinging his faithful bamboo, like one who had nothing in the world to think about but pleasure. Ali ! that was a delicious episode in the life of Captain Scott Dingle."--" The Ladder of Gold," in Bentley's Miscellany fur April. ,:..stoo-sMArito:, Arciuti-Wk: .10 " :ford in Max B.
