DEFERRED ANNUITIES. By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta zeous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con• et/button 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, two 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 cal secure through this Society. BOND'S PERMANENT MARKING INK, the original, requiring no preparation, is particularly recom mended at this season of the year, for marking newly-made articles of household linen and wearing apparel, for tile security of which articles this is by far the best production that can be similarly applied.

The position of the Society's affairs enables the Directors to con gratulate the members upon the very 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 hoard, GO of which the di rectors deemed it prudent to decline, 45 stood over for further consi deration or conviction, and 643 policies, securing 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. The annual income derivable from premiums 7,113/. 55. 11d. • Notwithstanding the large number of members assured with this society, and the fearful epidemic which visited this country daring 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, ♦iz., 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 oilier, for the benefit of which such infor mation Is sought and given ; and that it was the first. Life Assurance Society to abolish the obnoxious Impost of policy stamps, as payable by assarers. 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 but 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 SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE. LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete 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 frora their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, bet erro neously entertained that theme complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA '3IERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

HEALTH of LONDON DURING the WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) In the week 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 years. During the last month, the numbers returned weekly have been 1,094, 957, 938, 911, and 896, exhibiting a con 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 1,000, and last year, when cholera was Approaching and I various epidemics were rife, rose to 1,138. The average of the ten corresponding iteeks, is, 1,042, which corrected for increase of population, becomes 1,138 ; the present decrease on this estimate is there fore 242. in the eight principal epidemics, with the exception of diarrhcea, there is now a marked decrease; diarrhcea 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, Elliott'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 Bethnal-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. COURT CIRCULAR.

DEATH OF THE DEAN OF LEIGHLIN.—The Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of Leighlin died on Saturday night, after a short attack of inflammation of the brain, at the Dear ery-house, in the county of Carlow. The deceased was brother to the Earl of Bandon, and uncle to Viscount Bernard. He was an active promoter of all works of charity, and a few years since lie subscribed the munificent sum of 1,0001. to the funds of the Church Education Society. DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL FAUNCF, C.13.—0n the Ist inst. this general officer died at Clifton, near Bristol, aged 74. He entered the Army as an ensign in the 4th (King's Own) Regiment, in which corps the whole of his distinguished military career was passed. Early in 1832, having then served in the regiment since 1795 and commanded it for ten years, Col. Faunce re tired from the command, and was selected to be the Inspecting Field Officer at Bristol, which appointment ho continued to hold until 1841, when he became a general officer. He also then relinquished the appoint ment of one of the aides-de-camp to the Queen. In 1843 the late Major-General Faunce was placed on the list of officers receiving rewards for distinguished services. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Sunday last, the Rev. George Rowe, sen., superintendent of the Wesleyan con nection in this town, whilst on his knees in prayer (in the chapel), at the administration of the ordinance'of the Lord's Supper, was seized with a fit, and became uncon scious, and expired yesterday afternoon—an exemplifi cation of the solemn truth—that "in the midst of life we are in death." His was indeed a joyful translation into the Kingdom of Glory.—Maidstone Journal. BARON ROTHSCHILD'S ADMISSION TO PARLIAMENT. —We understand that Baron Rothschild intends to pre sent himself on Thursday next (to morrow) at the House of Commons, to take his seat in Parliament as one of the electei representatives of the city of London. As a Jew, it is supposed that be will refuse to be sworn on the New Testament, but that he will offer to take the usual oaths on the Old Testament.—Lferald. BERLIN, Maacn I.—Jenny Lind arrived here last evening, and will sing at two or three concerts. The celebrated songstress had nigh been the cause of a se rious emeule the night before last at Brunswick, where she had given a concert. On returning to her hotel (du Rhin) a large concourse assembled to cheer her, and to hear a serenade, which was proposed to be given to her by the band (•f the Hussars and choral societie.. Some accident having delayed the arrival of the serenaders, the mob became impatient, and Sited the air with very unharnionious vocifetations ; whilst others, thinking they had been deceived, and kept out of their beds for nothing, made show f attacking the hotel, and break ing the blinds and windows. A party of Hussar officers being inside, however, drew their swords, and declared they would use them should the slightest aggression be made. This, it appears, frightened some, but exasw pentted others; teed night pap Ilibve 14 $9 yery dip, agreeable consequences had not the troops been cAlled out, who, with some difficulty, cleared the streets. At length harmony was restored by the arrival of the bands, and by the blonde Jenny appearing at the balcony. ALARMING OCCURRENCE AT THE OLYMPIC THEI. TRE.—Last night, about eight o'clock, much consterna tion was excited in the immediate vicinity of the Olympic Theatre, in consequence of a dense body of smoke and volleys of sparks rising, apparently from the top of the stage. In the course of a few minutes several hundred persons congregated around the theatre, and a general shout of Fire !" was raised. Had 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 management at once ordered the whole of the upper windows and sentilators to be closed, which pre vented the audience from hearing the noise in the street. MesLengers 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, hut, fortunately, their services Isere 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 OF A CLERGYMAN.—On Friday last the Rev. IL Thompson, rector cf Fobbing, in Ess( x, 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 reclining over the aide of his chaise, who instantly w en t t o hi s ass i stance, but he shortly ceased to breathe. An inquest was held, when, on the evidence of a physician and of the befure-men tioned parties, a verdict was returned of "Natural death." RUNNING A Risx.—The Liverpool Mail states that on Friday last, shortly after 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 imperillel in this adventure were those of three ladies and a gentleman inside, in addition to that of the noble Earl, and of a " tiger" out. Snip Lauxcff.—Yesterday (Monday) a hand- somely-modelled clipper schoZinei was launched from Mr. William Bailey's shipyard, at the Cliff. Her re gistered tonnage is 80 ; by the old measurement 115. Shortly before four o'clock she was " set up," the " dog shore' was struck away, and as the vessel commenced her descent Miss Bailey broke a bottle cf wine over her cutwater, and christened her " The Ipswich Lass." Hearty rounds of cheers followed, and the beautiful little schooner, which had 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 warmly commended. We understand that she has been built on speculation.— Ipswich Express. ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY CELTIC SOCIETY.-011 Friday week the members of this society held their an nual supper in Grant's Hotel, Marischal-street. The society numbers among its members Celts from all the Highland counties—Sutherland, Caithness, Ross, Inver ness, Moray, Nairn, A rg yll, an d P erth, had each its re presentatives. After partaking of an excellent supper, which did great credit to the hostess, Mrs. Grant (late 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, her Consort, and Family." He proposed this toast, he said, not because it was 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 any 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 circumstance" 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 cid Gaul?" He 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 the 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 Authors," " 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 Gaelic, and the various speakers evinced by their fluency and correctness of expression that the discussions car ried on at their wetkly meetings had given thtm a thorough command of the Celtic tongue. After spend ing a most agreeable evening, the company separated at a late hour, highly delighted with the evening's festi vities.—lnverness Courier. BOILER EXPLOSION.—A most alarming accident occurred yesterday morning between the hours of seven and eight at the Albion Brewery, Camden-town, be longing to Messrs. Baker and Son, from the explosion of a boiler, of six hone power, which has result- d in the total destruction of the interior of 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 efftcts so severely, that they feared at first it proceeded from tf e shock of an earthquake. The houses in Caroline-place, to the lift of the brewery, have had the whole of the windows completely shattered, and most serious alarm was caused to the inhabitants by a tremendous shower of bricks falling 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 of the explosi o n, escape d with only his c a p being 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 has the amount of damage caused by it been ascertained. WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.—Last evening a public meeting was held at the Royal British Institution, City-road, far the purpose of explaining the principles and objects of this association. Mr. James Palser in the chair. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, Mr. James Taylor (secretary of the Birmingham Society), and other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and tho follow ing resolution was unanimously adopted :—" That this meeting is of opinion that freehold land societies offer to the industrious classes the most profitable investment for their savings, and are efficient agents for engendering habits of forethought and a spirit of independence, and the meeting recogois( s in the general estimation of these societies a most efficient mode of gradually and legally extending the suffrage, by increasing the number of voters fur county Members, and that it behoves every man who is anxious to extend the representa tion of the people to contribute by all in his poser to their encouragement and support ; and that inas much as the Freehold Land Society embraces within its operat;ons the home counties, Middlesex tieing in cluded, this meeting considers it worthy of being sup ported by the people of the Tower Hamlets." A vote of thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated. THE " FATHER" OE NEW SOUTH WALES— ANDREW HAMILTON HUME.—The Sydney papers an nounce the death of Acdrew Hamilton Hume, Esq., of Glenrock and Humewood, in New South Wales, on the 23d of September last. He was conventionally known as the "father of the colony," having lived in it longer than any other existing individual, and he was therefore the senior member of all our:colonists in the southern hemisphere. THE VACANT JUDICIAL SEAT AT THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—In 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 many years been one of the Commissioners of this Court, and to whose promotion, it is said, no opposition will bo offered. Should this occur two other situations become vacant in consequence, it b e i ng i n t en d e d, f rom t h e aug mentation of business owi ng t o th e l a t e a lt era ti ons i n t h e process for the recovery o f sma ll d e bt s , f or t h e f u t ure to divide the labour by appointi ng a diff e r en t j u d ge to t h e Small Debts Court of th e City. Th e vacant Commit sionership is likely to giv e ri se to a s h ar p contest, there having been for some time two candidates, in the persons of Mr. Ryland, one of the senior City pleaders, and Mr. Russell, Gurney, whose interest in the City is said to be very strong. Yesterday Mr. Michael Prendergast, Q.C., issaed a manifesto, of his intention to become the third candidate. The judgeship of the Small Debts Court is also likely to be strongly contested, and in the event of Mr. W. Payne, the coroner for the city of London, and one of the candidates, succeeding in the election, it will leave the situation of coroner to be filled. This it also seems will create a stir, for several gentlemen, acting upon the mere expectation of Mr. Payne's elec tion, have notified their intention of standing for the vacant office of coroner. Among the foremost stands Mr. Hobler, son of the late clerk to the Mansion House Police-court. It i s a l so rumou red that Mr. Wood, t} toe late Alderman aad present cork to the aldermen at tho Gui'dh l tion. Member Mr. Humphrey Brows, • • illness, and it is expected that recovering from his late il . Tewkesbury, is he will very so-in resume his duties.

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 bad arisen in the setae 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 day was 910, producing an nual premiums to the amount of 7,7004 odd, When the report presented to the members was t f so satisfactory a nstare it is hardly necessary to state that the proceed- Logs were characterised by the greate3t unanimity.

ACCIDENT ON TUE CROYDON LINE.—A eor respondent has forwarded a letter containing an ao 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 Brighter, lice while the other was on the Croydon, and consequently one of the carriages was twisted across the rails, thrown on its bide, and smashed. That immediately preceding, in which the historian of the accident was :seated, was thrown off the line and dragged on over some of the rails, but was fortunately stopped as it was on the eve of being thrown over. No lives si ere lost, a few bruises and some slight injuries from broken glass being fortunately the hole extent cf personal damage sustained. We understand that the Rev. Dr. Vaughan (head neal mast er ltar M arrow School) will shortly lead C.) tue hyme ass Kate Stanley, youngest daughter of the lute Bishop of Norwich.—Herald. LORD GOUGH.—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. If this be so, we can fairly promise hiss a coed sills falthe which will cheer his truly Irish heart, and amply repay him for those slights which, attempting to be cast on a good and brave man, reflected only dis comfiture upon their originators. THE Haanoun.—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 yes. sels, some of 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 fiat. Singapore (two of which touch at Batavia), eight for the United States, one for Calcutta, several for the West Indies, and a number for various Continental ports.... Glasgow Daily Mail. 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 34 per cent., but the statement was without foundation. It appears, however, that in all the loans raised by the company during the present year the terms hare been limited to that rate. The failure was announced yesterday of Messrs. Benjamin Smith and Sons, copper smelters, of Bowe common and Threadneedle -street. Their liabilities are understood to be considerable, although not extended amongst numerous parties. The firm was established ft - few years back, with the view of carrying out a new patent, upon the intrinsic value of which the prospmt a 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 hs avily laden, was about half an hour after its time. On approaching the station the guards found it impossible, owing to the slippery state of 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 dangerously 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 company at a cost of nearly 4,0001., is very much shat tered. The accident will cause no interruption to the traffic of the line. A COCKROACH -KILLING DOG.—We must introduce to the lovers of the marvellous a wonder in the shape of a dog, the property of Mr. Thomas Bennett, of the Church-side, Macclesfield. This animal, which is kept 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 increasing on his hands —or, rather,l 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 swoop" what had formerly cost him considerable trouble. Having made this discovery he was not the sort of dog to neglect taking advantage of it, and he may now be seen any morning taking a roll amongst the cockroaches, and then surveying the slaugh tered foe with an appearance of satisfaction.—Macc/es• field Courier. At the rent-day of Sir Courtenay lionywood, Bart., a short time since, no fewer than twenty tenants gave notice to quit, alleging as their reason for so doing, that their rents were so very high that it was impossible for them to pay the.n.—Esser Herald. The Earl of Chesterfield has retired from the turf, and the Earl of Strathmore, it is stated, is about to do the same. THE PIKE.—On Friday last an extraordinary fine specimen of the pike NN as caught by W. Essington, Esq., of Ribbesford House, in a pool belonging to Arthur Skey, Esq., of Spring grove, Bewdley. When brought to the scale, this " muntter of the deep," was f ,und to weigh upwards of 321b5., and in length more than four feet. It was in excellent condition, and a tro.rea I good :Tort. It was immediately forwarded to Mr. Thomas Robinson, of this city for preservation, and we may take the oppottunity to mention that the excellent tackle which captured the fish was supplied by Mr. Fiinn, of this city.— Worcester Herold. STATE OF TRADE.—MANCIIESTER, TUESDA The market to day has been very quiet. The demand, whether for cloth or 3 err, has been limited, and with prices further tending in favour of the buyer. The cur rent numbers of Indian earns have been rather an excep tion to general business, the inquiry for these being still to a considet a`ile extent, and prices remaining tolerably firm. Short-time and the stoppage of the mills in many quarters continue. The advises from the United States tend rather to a fut ther reduction of the estimates of the cotton crop, but prices Lave been already so advanced by speculative means, and the consumption has been so grossly exaggeratel, 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 shirting' con tinue to be sold to a fair extent, especially in the latter reeds. Domestics remain dull, and, if any change, are a shade lower. MONTHLY TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATION.—The sixth Temperance Demonstratiion (the last of the series) took place on Monday evening, in Exeter Hall, Mr. John Cassell in the chair. The subject of consi deration was, that intoxicating liquors are not essential to health or comfort, tend their entire abandonment is promotive of the physical, intellectual, social, and reli gious condition of the community. After a few preli minary words from the chairman, Mr. F. W. Perfitt ad dressed the meeting on the subject !proposed for that evening, and was %led received throughout a long and eloquent discourse. Mr. James Taylor, from Birming ham, entertained the meeting with a narrative of his own life, be fore and after he had taken the tett ,tal pledge, from the time when, he said, he occupiedla room, for which he paid 2s. 7d. a week, and was always in ar rear, and the time when he built Temperance Cottage, in the neighbourhood of Birmingham. He remembered well when, after taking the pledge, the clothes he had worn on his back were convei tod into a mop for cleaning his new lodgings. The Temperance Society cf . Bir mingham, he stated, had purchased freehold land to the value of about 19,0001. Mr. George Cruikshank, who was received with great applause by the meeting, in allusion to his popular sketches :of " The Bottle," said, that though he had been a member of a temperance so ciety only for three years and a half, he had enter tained to a great extent his present views on the evil iffects 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 reformation, and thanking his Majesty for the active interest which he has taken in the abatement of intemperate habits among his subject'. M. Carl Olof Brink, LL.B., Secre tary to the Board of Prisons in Sweden, who is at pre sent on a visit to this country for the purpose of collect ing information as to the statistics and treatment of criminals in England, acknowledged the compliment. During the evening about 201. was collected in aid of the expenses attendant upon the course of six monthly meetings air( ady held in Exeter Hall, which, added to about 2001. already collected, will nearly be sufficient to cover all the outlays. A vote of thanks to the chair man was proposed by Mr. Cruikshank, and seconded by Mr. W. West, after which the meeting separated. FIRE AT LOUGHBOROUGH BARRACKS.-011 Sunday night a fire occurred at the above place. The barracks are occupied at present by a troop of the 3d Dragoon Guards. At the bottom of the barrack-yard is a large dung-pit, sunk below the surface, and walled round to the height of several feet above it.
