By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta ceous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con • ?fibution 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 forfeiture from inability 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, tyre thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tazes which the Judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION, REOENT-STREET.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—Arrivals of all articles continue moderate. The trade has been quiet during the week, without decline being quotable. For to day's market our farmers brought forward a fair supply of wheat; quality and condition good —price much the same as last week, if anything, the turn lower. No alteration in foreign, but sales not extensive. Malting barley very dull sale, and the demand for grinding sorts very limited, though offering low. Beans is lower. Nothing doing in peas. More inquiry for oats at our currency, but the stock held is insig nificant. The import of rapeseed is for the interior, and does not come on the market. Rape cakes arc firm. Not much business passing in linseed, and cakes are unaltered. Bones are inactive ; but there is a good demand for guano, which may be quoted, Peruvian 91, Ichaboe 8/ 10s, Patagonian 7!, and Saldanha Bay 5/ I Os per ton.

The position of the Society's affairs enables the Directors to con gratulate the members upon the i'ery satisfactory solution of the pro. blem given in the last year's report. During the year 1849, 748 proposals for assurance; to the amount of 192,0301., have been submitted to the board, 60 of which the di rectors deemed it prudent to decline, 45 stood aver for further consi deration or completion, and 643 policies, Fecuring the sum of 165,2701., and producing premiums to the amount of 5,0471. 2s. 4d. have been completed. The total number of policies completed to the 31st of December was 851. Ihe annual income derivable from premiums 7,1131. ss. 11d. Notwithstanding the large number of members assured with this society, and the fearful epidemic which visited this country during the past year, only seven claims from death, and to the amount of but 1,2501. have arisen. The directors cannot too frequently call the attention of the mem bers, and through them, of the public, to two features which must have mainly contributed towards the attainment of this great success, viz., that this society has never required the members of the medical profession to give information as to the proposers' state of health with out remuneration from the office, for the benefit of which such infor mation is sought and given ; and that it was the first Life Assurance Society to abolish the obnoxioui impost of policy stamps, as royale by assurers. The directors earnestly request the continued exertions of the as sured to sustain the high position of favour with the public already secured; and they feel persuaded that the members cannot bat re ceive great assistance in their endeavours to promote the well-being of the society from the report which the directors now with confi dence and satisfacticn present to them. By order of the Court of Directors, FREDERIC LAWRANCE, Actuary and Secretary. Head Office, 345, Strand, London. LIZRHS; MARCH s.—We have a very large arrival of wheat at market to-day, but moderate of other articles. Wheat is Is to 2s per qr. lower than last Tuesday, and millers are cautious in making purchases. In barley and oats we do not alter our quotations, but to sell they are rather in favour of the buyer. Beans are fully Is per qr. lower. LIVERPOOL, AlaitcH s.—At this day's market there was but a thin attendance of buyers, who acted with extreme caution, and in the few sales made a considerable decline had to be submitted to. Wheat must be quoted fully 2d to 3d per 70Ib, and flour Is per sack and Cd per barrel lower. Oats and oatmeal met with little attention, though offered at a re duction of Id per 451 b, and 3d per load. Barley, beans, and peas, with only a slow retail sale, were 6d to Is per qr. lower. Indian corn, with a very limited demand, declined 6d per qr.; Galatz being offered at 27s 6d, new yellow American at 263 6d, and white at 28s per qr., without leading to much business.

Tltis work contains an accurate and eomplete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering front their Invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA 'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

(From tee RPport of the Regilt-ar-General.) In the we( k ending last Saturday - , the deaths in the metropolis were only 896, a result which indi • cates'a low rate of mortality at the present time as compared with this season in former ye:J.B. During the last month, the numbers returned weekly have been 1,094, 957, 938, 911, and 896, exhibiting a ccn tinuous decline. In the week corresponding to last, of the years 1840-9, they were never lower than 916, in seven of the ten weeks they ranged above I,COO, and last year, when cholera was approaching and various epidemics were rife, rose to 1,138. The average of the ten corresponding ' eeks, is, 1,042, which corrected for increase of population, beccmes 1,138 ; the present decrease on this estimate is there fore 242. ln the eight principal epidemics, with the exception of diarrhoea, there is now a marked decrease; diarrhoea was fatal to 18 persons (two-thirds of whom were children), which differs little from the number of the same week of the last two years, but is more than the average of the corresponding ten weeks. At 3, lElliott's-row, London-road, the son of a painter and glazier, aged eight years, .died of English cholera, after 17 hours' illness. On the 24th of February, at 7, Albert-street, the daughter cf a gunsmith, aged four years, died from hydrophobia, caused by the bite of a rabid dog on the 15th of November last, accord ing to the verdict of a jury. Last Week consumption was fatal to 93 persons; there died on an average in former periods, 136. Under other diseases of the respiratory organs, exclusive of hooping-cougb, the aggregate is 176 deaths; formerly at this season, they have varied from 160 to 259. The deaths of two persons are referred, one to disease arising from in temperance, the other to injury during intoxication. One person died of want, and another is also sup posed to have sunk from destitution. The former was a porter, of 73 years, in Parson's-court, St. Luke's. The latter, a single woman of 51 years, was found dead in bed at 37, Elizabeth-street, in the Church sub-district of liethnal•green. The mean daily reading of the barometer, at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, was above 30 in. throughout the week ; the mean of the week was 30.168 in. The mean temperature of the week was 42 deg. 8 min., or 30 deg. 3 min. higher than the average of the same week in seven years. ~ I ( ..7, ,,,:i.,;.. 1, 11\\yr,...7;:;_i ~ -1 )._ • ,„..--r....--' ~ _ ... / z _i ~,A . , .. . . • 1 - .

ALARMING OCCURRENCE AT THE OLYMPIC THEA• TAE —Last night, about eight o'clock, much consterna tion was excited in the immediate vicinity of the Olympia Theatre, in constquence of a dense body of smoke and volleys of sparks rising, apparently from the top of the stage. Ia the course of a few minutes several hundred persons congregated around the theatre, and a general shout of Fire !" was raised. Ilad it not been for the admirable precautions of the lessee and other parties connected with the theatre, it is quite probable that a similar calamity to that which took place some time back at the Glasgow Theatre would have happened. As it was, the n anagement at once ordered the whole of the upper windows and I entilators to be closed, which pre vented the audience from hearing the noise in the street. Messengers started in sundry directions for the firemen, and in the course of a few minutes numerous Brigade and the West of England engines were taken to the place, but, fortunately, their services were not required. The cause of so much alarm and confusion was owing to some workmen using fire to solder a pipe on a roof near the stage of the theatre. Fortunately, no one in the house - was aware of what was going on in the street. SUDDEN DEATH Or A CLERGYMAN.—On Friday last the Rev. H: Thompson, rector c f Fobbing, in Essex, attended the Protectionist meeting at Grays, and on his return from thence was suddenly attacked by illness while driving home, no one being with him. He was observed by some labourers to be teelining over the side of his chaise, who instantly went to his assistance, but he shortly ceased to breathe. An inquest was held, when, on the evidence cf a physician and of the before-men tioned parties, a verdict was returned of "Natural death." RUNNING A Rrsß.—The Liverpool Mail states that on Friday last, shorty ef:er two o'clock, the Earl of Sefton drove a chariot and pair along the north bridge of the landing-place, then along the stage back to the south bridge. The lives imperiled in this adventure were these cf three ladies and a gentleman inside, in addition to that of the noble Earl, and of a " tiger" out. Sam LAUNClL—Yesterday (Monday) a hand somely-mcdeted clipper schooner was launched from Mr. William Bailey's ship) arc', at the Cliff. Her re gistered tonnage is 80 ; by the old measurement 115. Shortly before four o'clock she was " st t up," the " dog shore" was struck away, and as the vessel commenced her descent Miss Bailey broke a bottle of wine over her cutwater, and christened her " The Ipswich Lass." Hearty rounds of cheers followed, and the beautiful little schooner, which bad descended to her home in ex cellent style, was shortly after securely moored along side the wharf. A number of nautical men were in at tendance, by whom the vessel was a armly commended. We understand that she has Lean built on speculation.— Ipswich Express. ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY CLLTIC SOCIETY.—On Friday week the members of this society held their an nual supper in Grant's Hotel, Marischal-street. The society numbers wrong its members Celts from all the Highland counties—Sutherland, Caithness, Ross, Inver ness, Moray, Nairn, A rg yll, wa d P ert h , bad each its re presentatives. After partaking of an excellent supper, which did great credit to the hostesP, Mrs. Grant (lets of Campbeltown, Fort-George), the punch-bowl made its appearance, and the chairman called upon the company to fill a special bumper to " The Queen, Ler Consort, and Family." He proposed this toast, he saki, not because it R . as customary and right that all loyal subjects should drink the health of their Sovereign—this was too general and vague a reason—he proposed it because he well knew that every Highlander would feel hurt did wry toast take precedence of their beloved Queen. He referred to the honour conferred on the Highlanders by her Majesty's throwing aside all " the pomp and circumltanea" of her rank, and sojourning among them as a private individual —as the Gudewife of Birkhall. Then there was her Royal Consort, who, he believed, was a Highlander at heart, and showed it by studying the language of the Gael; and did not their royal children appear even in the Saxon's country in the " garb of c.ld Gaul?" Ho then called on them to drink to " The Queen, her Royal Consort, and their Royal Family."—(Drunk with High. land honours.) Next came "Success to th 6 Aberdeen Universities' Celtic Society," also drunk with Highland honours, followed by "Professor Tulloch, the Patron of the Society," " The Highland Clergy," " Our Univer sity and its ProfessOrs,' "The Living Gaelic Author," " The Press," &c., all which were enthusiastically re sponded to. All the speeches mere (with one or two exceptions) and the whole conversation carried on in Gae and the various speakers evinced by their fluency and correctness of expression that the discussions car ried on at their weekly meetings had given them a thorough command of the Cultic tongue. After spend ing a most agreeable evening, the company separated at a late hour, highly delighted with the evening's festi vities.— Inverness Courier. BOILER EXPLOSION--A most alarming accident occurred yesterday morning between the hours of seven and eight at the Albion Brewery, Camdsn-town, be longing to Messrs. Baker and Son, from the explosion of a boiler, of six horse power, which has resulted in the total destruction of the interior cf the premises, besides causing a great devastation of property to the houses adjacent. So fearful was the explosion, that the neigh bourhood of Hampstead and Highgate felt the effects so severely, that they feared at first it proceeded from the shock of an earthquake. The houses in Caroline-place, to the left of the brewery, have had the whole of the windows completely shattaed, and most serious alarm was caused to the inhabitants by a tremendous shower of bricks felling into the back gardens. A part of the boiler (221bs. in weight) was blown upwards of 300 yards to the rear of the premises of the British Queen public house. There were only five workmen on the premises at the time of the accident, none of whom have received any serious injury. One man, who was in the mash-tub close to the engine, at the time cf the explosion, esc a p e d with only his c.lpbeing blown off, whilst another was blown through a door into an inner room, but was not injured. The cause of the accident is not known, nor leas the amount of damage caused by it been ascertained. WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.—Last evening a public met t!ng was held at the Royal British Institution, City road, for the purpose of explaining the principles and objects of this association. Mr. James Falser in the chair. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, Mr. James Taylor (secretary of the Birmingham Society), and other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and the follow ing resolution was unanimously adopted :—" That this meeting is t f opinion that freehold land societies offer to the indut trims classes the most profitable investment for their savings, and are efficient agents for engendering habits of forethought and a spirit of independence, and the mett!ng recognis , s in the general estimation of there so&eties a most efficient mode of gradually and legally extending the suffrage, by increasing the number of voters for county Members, and that it behoves every man who is anxious to extend the representa tion cf the people to contribute by all in his power to their encouragement and support ; and that inas much as the Freehold Land Society embraces within its operat'ons the home counties, bliddlesex Le:tig in cluded, this meeting considers it worthy of being sup ported by the people of the Tower iiandeti." A. vote of thanks having bsen voted to the chairman, the meeting separated. THE " FATTIER " OF NOV SOUTH WALES— ANDREW HAMILTON HUME.—The Sydney papers an nounce the death of Andrew Hamilton Hume, Esq , of Glenrock and Humewood, iu New South Wales, on the 23d of Septeml et last. He was conventionally known as the "father of the culony," having lived in it longer than any other existing individual, and he was therefore the senior member of all our:col.nists in the southern hemispbe - e. THE VACANT JUDICIAL SEAT AT THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Ic a very few days the appointment to the vacancy of Common-Sergeant, occasioned by the death of Mr. Sergeant Mirehouse, will, it is said, be con ferred upon Mr, Commissioner Bullock, who has for so man y years been one of the Commissioners of this Court, and to whose prorco'ion, it is said, no opposition will be offered. Should this occur two other situations bccone vacant in consequence, it being intended, from the aug mentation cif busir eis owing to the late alterations in the process for the recol ery of small deLta, for the future to divide the labour by appointing a different judge to the Small Debts Court of the City. The vacant Commit sionersbip is likely to give rise to a sharp contest, there having been for some time two candidates, in the persons of Mr. Ryland, one of the senior City plealers, and Mr. Russell . Gurney, whose interest in the City is said to be very strong. Yesterday Mr. Michael Prendergast, Q.C., issued a manifesto, of his intention to becon.e the third candidate. The judgeship of the Small Debts Coast is alio likely to be strongly contested, and in the event of Mr. W. Payne, the coroner fur the city of London, and one of the candidates, succeeding in the election, it will leave the situation of coroner to bo filled. This it also teems wilt create a stir, fur several gentlemen, acting upon the mere expectation of Mr. Payne's dee iPaotelicAcidcoeurmr'a. tion, have notified their intention of standing fur the d vaunt office of coroner.

M ASONIC, THE ENGINEER S, mASONIC, AND UNIVERSAL LIFE A So ITRANCE SOCIETY.-1 C annual meeting of this society, which is conducted on the purest principles of mutual assurance, was held 3 esterdey at the head office, 1•1, , . 345, Strand. From the report which was read to the members by the actuary, it appeared that during the year 1849, 643 new policies, producing fresh premiums to the amount of 5,047/. had been granted by the society, while, notwithstanding the cholera epidemic, only seven claims from death had arisen in the same period. At the same time it was announced that the total number of policies which had passed the Board of Directors up to the present ray was 910, producing an nual premiums to the amount of 7,700/. odd. When the report presented to the members was of so satidectory a nstare it is hardly necessary to state that the proceed iags were characterised by the gieatest unanimity. The usual votes of thanks to the ivoithy Chairman, Mr. W. F. Dobson, and the er directors and offiders, were Massed. nem con., an the meeting separated after an earnest exhortation from the Chairman to the members to sustain by continued exertions the high position which the society had already secured in the esteem of lite public. / ACCIDEAT ON THE CROYDON cor respondent has forwarded a letter containing an eo count of an accident which occurred to one of the trains on the Croydon line on Friday night last. It is fur nished by one of the passengers, who states that at the junction of the Brighton and Croydon line, from some cause not ascertained, the engine and part of the train was on the Brighton Ike while the other was on the Croydon, and consequently one of the carriages was twisted across the rails, thrown on its side, and smelted. That immediately preceding, in which the historian of the accident was seated, was thrown off the line and dragged on over some of the mile, but was fortunately stopped as it was on the eve of being thrown over. No lives v,ere lost, a few bruises and some slight injuries from broken glass being fortunately the whole extent et' personal damage sustained. We understand that the Rev. Dr. Vaughan (heed master of Harrow School) will shortly lead to the hyme neal altar Miss Kate Stanley, youngest daughter of the late Bishop of Norwich.—Herald. LORD Got:GlL—The Tipperary Free Press says : —" We understand that his Lordship purposes returning to the land of his fathers, and that his seat, Rathronan House, in the vicinity of this town, is being prepared for his reception.

THE I.lAunourt.—The shipping season has now fairly commenced, and the harbour has a very animated appearance, presenting a pleasing contrast to the dull and gloomy aspect which it usually wears during the winter months. At present there are nearly fifty ves sels, some cf them of very large tonnage, at the Broomie law, loading for foreign and colonial ports. Of these eight are for Montreal, four for Valparaiso, three for Singapore (two of which touch at Batavia), eight for the United Stetes, one for Calcutta, several for the West Indies, and a number for various Continental ports.— Glasgow Dagy It was reported yesterday that the Bank of England had made a large advance to the London and North- Western Railway Company on their debentures at air per cent,, but the statement was without foundation. appears, however, that in all the loansataieed by the company during the present year the terms have been limited to that rate. The failure was announced yesterday of Messrs. Benjamin Smith and Sons, copper smelters, of Bow common and Threadneedle street. Their liabilities are understood to be considerable, although not extended amongst numerous parties. The firm was established • few years back, with the view cf carrying out a new patent, upon the intrinsic value of which the prospects of the creditors, it is presumed, will in some measure depend. PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY.---This morning, at a quarter after nine o'clock, a very serious accident occurred at the Plymouth station of the South Devon Railway. The goods train due about half-past eight o'clock, being very heavily laden, was about half an hour after its time. On anroaching the station the guards found it impossible, owing to the slippery state cf the rails, to stop the train, it rushed impetuously into the station, and the engine went through the wall and partition-work at the west end. The engine fireman, James Bolt, is dangc rcusly cut about the head; the driver, Tunstall, seeing the danger, jumped off, and ran along the platform. The engine, the Corsair, a new one, lately purchased by the compaety at a cost cf nearly 4,0001., is very much shat tered. The accident will cause no interruption to the traffic of the line. A COCKROACH-KILLING DcG.—We must introduce to the lovers cf the marvellous a wonder in the shape c f a deg, the property of Mr. Thomas Bennett, of the Church-side, Macclesfield. This animal, which is I ept in the factory, has been in the habit of killing cockroaches, with which the factory is infested, by putting them under the pressure of his right paw. By some accident the paw was disabled, and the animal saw, doubtless with much dismay, the enemy rapidly inert axing on his Lands —or, rather,: under his paws. A few weeks ago he exemplified the old adage, that "necessity is the mother of invention," by lying down among a whole host of his adversaries and rolling over them, thus effec ting at "one fell swoon" what had formerly cost him considerable troule/e. having made this discovery ho wad n: t the sort a dog to neglect taking adran'age of it, and he may DOW be seen any morning taking a roll amongst the cockroacher, and then surveying the slaugh tered foe with an appearance of eatisfactior.--elfaceles field Courier.

The Earl of Chesterfield has retired from the turf, and the Earl Qf Strathmore, it is stated, is about to do the fame. THE PIKE.—On Friday last an extraordinary fine specimen of the pike was caught by W. Essington, Esq., of Ribbesford House, in a pool belonging to Arthur Skey, Lg., of Spring grove, Bewdloy. When brou g ht to the scale, this " monster of the deep," was fund to weigh upwards of 321b5., and in length more than four feet. It was in excellent condition, and afforded good sport. It was immediately forwarded to Mr. Thomas Robinson, cf this city for preservation, and we may take the opportunity to mention that the excellent tackle which captured the fish was supplied by Mr. Flinn, of this city.— Worcester Herald. STATE OF TRADE.--MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.— The market to day has been very quiet. The demand, whether for cloth or 3 are, has been limited, and with prices further tending in favour of the buyer. The cur rent numbers of Indian yarns have been rather an excep tion to general busineee, the inquiry for these being still to a considerable extent, end prices remaining tolerably firm. Short-tine anti the stippatee of the mills in many quarters continue. The advices from the United States tend rather to a farther reduction of the estimates of the cotton crop, but prices Lave bean already so advanced by speculative means, and the consumption has been so grossly exaggerate'', and is so greatly curtailed, that so far from there being any tendency to advance in the Liverpool market, prices tend in favour of the buyer. Printing cloth is still low, and prices are giving way, par ticularly in the lower qualities. 40-inch skirtings con tinue to be sold to a fair extent, especially in the latter reed?. Domestics remain dull, and, if any change, are a shade lower. MONTHLY TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATION.—The sixth Temperance Dernonstratiion (the last of the series) took place on Monday evening, in Exeter Hall, Mr. John Cassell in the chair. The subject of censi deration was, that int( xicating liquors are not essential to health or comfort, and their entire abandonment is promotive of the physical, intellectual, social, and reli gious conditicn of the community. After af: w preli minary words from the chairman, Mr. F. W. Pe. lilt ad dressed the meeting on the subject [proposed for that evening, and was wet received throughout a long and eloquent discourse. Mr. James Taylor, from Birming ham, entertained the meeting with a narrative a his own life, le f ore and after ho had taken the test .tal pledge, from the time when, he said, he occupiedla room, for ah:ch he paid 2s. 7d. a week, and was always in at rear, and the time when he built Temperance Cottage, in the neighbourhcod of Birmingham. lie remembered well when, after taking the pledg e, the clothes he had worn on his back were con vei t e d int ) a mop for cleaning his new lodgings. The Temperance Society cf Bir mingham, he stated, had purchased freehold laud to the I value of about 19,000/. Mr. George Cruikshank, who was received with great applause by the meeting, is allusion to his popular sketches ;of " The Bottle," said, that though he bad been a member of ntonaperairce so nic only for three years and a half, he had enter ta'ned to a great extent his present views on the evil effects of drink from his very youth, and referred to his sketch of the " Gin Juggernaut" in exemplification. On the motion of Dr. Gourley, seconded by Dr. Burns, an address was adopted to his Majesty the King of Sweden, on the subject of the temperance reformatice, and thanking his Majesty for the active interest which he has t :ken in the abatement cf intemperate habits a•nong his subject-. M. Carl OILS Brink, LL.B., Secre tary to the Board of Prisons in Sweden, who is at pre seat on a visit to this country for the purpcse of collect ing information as to the statistics and treatment of criminals in England, acknowledged the compliment.

The the 3d barracks ace occupied at present by a o Guards. At the bott om of the troo p yard is a large dung-p:t, sunk below . the surface', and walled round to the height of several feet above it. It has been the cus as well as manure from the stables, tom t )threw ashes , i nto this pit, and sometime on Sunday some hot cinders appear to have been thrown in with a quantity of ashes. These set fire to the manure, and in the course of the evening the attention of an o ffi cer was ca ll ed to it, b ut he considered there was no danger. Near to the dung pit is a stable in which one of the officers (Lieutenant Oroker, we l elieve) had four horses—th r ea h unters and a trooper. In tee outer wall of the stable is a small aperture to carry off the drainage, and just opposite is a small aperture to admit it into the dung-pit. the flames appear to have spread through these apertures and set tile to the litter in the stable, and on Monday morning the four horses were found suffocated. It is stated that the horses were valued at from 300/. to 400/. The da mage done to the building was slight. Streninn or A MILITARY OFFICER IN PAISLEY.-- It is our painful duty to record the death of Lieutenant Noble, of her Majesty's 27th Regiment of Foot, by his own act, which sa d event took place in the Paisley Bar racks, on the m orn i ng o f Tuesday last. He left the house of a gentlemen in town the night previous about doen o'clock, apparently in his usual health and spirits, .and was next morni n g f oun d mat eeded from the stair-rail i n his quarters, by his own sash.
