A sum far more than equal to the valne of the policies Is invested in the public securities, in the names o. the trustees, so as to te at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent, was added to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are thn annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely ;saying the interest annually at five per cent.; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

Reader, remember, this letter 'was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Brimstone, of the Herhary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having corn pletelr restored the hair on her head, after using it about tour months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the bakiness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s itegenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 1l s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abound auce, but as a cure et nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and - invent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing )dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops ii the crown of the heat ; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. it produces air on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on intents' elds, it Etas such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of lair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

The Right lion. the Earl of ROSEBERY, K.T., President. • At the Thirty-third Annual GENERAL COURT, held in Edin burgh on the 2d Mar h, 1841, the lion. Lord COCKIIURN in the Chair, the Manager read various statements, showing inter alia, That the amount of Insuran es effected during the year ending 31st December, 1846, was 447,2001, and the number of Policies 617, being on en average of about 7301. for each policy. That the average Amount of Insurances effected annually during the last ten years had been upwards of Half a Million. That the capital arising from the accumulation of the Annnal Pre miums was, at the same d'fte, 1,805,860/. Os. 91., haviug increased during the year to the extent of upwards of 121,000/. That the Annual Rev nue was, at the same date, 266,364/.135. 7d., having increased during the year to the extent of upwards of 17,4001. That the claims upon the Society, in consequence of the death of Members during the year 1846, amounted to 103,910/. 16s. 3d., of which, 20,2801. 3s. 3d. consisted of bonus additions—the number of deaths being 82. That, large as these sums were, however, and nu merous as were the deaths, it had been ascertained by an approxi mate calculation, that they w ere only in the ratio of 54 per cent. of what might have been expected according to the bills of mortality, which form the basis of all the Socier's tables. Lord Cockburn, after special reference to the results shown in the above statements, thus concluded his address to the Court : —" Now t ese are facts to which we are entitled to look forward not merely with hope. for nothing is more delusive than hope, but with hope which is not only confident but rational.--(Hear, hear.) I have only to add, that enormous as these sums are, and dealing, though we have been, with hundre is and thousands of interested individuals, we have never, since we began, had occasion to enter a Court of Justice.— (Applause.) We have not had a single litigation since the Society began its labours. We have invested sums, the very mention of which staggers our conceptions, and this in periods of great public trouble, when great shocks were given to the stability of almost every kind of security; and yet we have not lost by a single bad invest ment, l can say nothing that can add to the force of these facts. Words would be perfectly idle. It seems ,o me to be impossible that any intelligent or reflective mind can avoid contrasting the quiet and steady progressiveness of this Society with other modes of laying out money, in which there is often no gain at all, or in which the gain of one man is the loss of "another.—(Hear, hear.) That cannot happen here. These are waters upon which every man who casts the bread of his prudence, is certain to have it returned at the time at which those who are dearest to hint stand in the greatest need of it.—(Applause.) I dare say you have often observed that the best part, even of the Pest discourse, always consists in the practical improvement.—(Laughter.) I now come to my practical improve ment, which is just this : I suppose all of you have a taste for these Bonuses. I am mean enough to confess that I have. -- (Laughter,) Well, how do you intend to expect that they are to continue to be paid ? Why, solely by increasing our business. The Directors cannot go on adding two per cent. to our policies every year, unless we enable them to do so by additions to our business. And how are we to increase our business ? These gentlemen perform their duty by making the society flourish. We hsve Individually a d u t y to perform also . Can all of you say that during the last year you have endeavoured•to bring insurers to this soc ety ? I am afraid that there are many hundreds, if not thou sands, to ;ands, to whom Ito such reflection has ever occurred.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. After a fair average passage of about thirteen days and a-half the steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Harrison, arrived here this morning from Boston and Halifax. She had 107 passengers, and the monthly mails from Canada and the United States. By this arrival we have received papers from all parts of the union, and the news which they contain are of a very important and interesting character. The journals before us are full of the deeds of san guinary warfare in the invaded territory of the Mexicans. Santa Anna who has come to close quarters with his rival, "old rough and ready," and although the latter claims a victory, he has really very little cause to boast. Two-fifths of his forces are said to have been slaughtered, 30,000 of their rations cap tured,-and no less than seven or eight pieces of artil lery spiked, lest the Mexican army should obtain them. This is not very pleasant news for the occu pants of the " White House" at Washington. Both parties claim the victory, but we cannot say that either have conquered. The Mexicans appear to have failedlft earrying,the American position, but made sad havoc of their ranks. The Mexicans estimate the AmeriCan loss at 2,000 killed and wounded, three cannon, and two colours; whilst the Americans estimate that of the Mexicans at 4,000.

The discussion was renewed yesterday, at the sitting of the Court of Common Council, and an amendment by Mr. Lowe having been lost, that the Council, whilst it approved or the scheme, eonsidered that classes should be formed in the schools in which no particular kind of religious belief should be promulgated, in order that the children of different sects might simply receive secular education, the religious portion being intrusted to the parents; the motion of Mr. Bennoch was almost unanimously adopted, only three or four hands having been held up against it. Mr. BENNOCH said, it now became necessary to adopt another motion to give the resolution effect. The Cor poration of London enjoyed many distinguishing privi leges, and, among the chief, one being that of addressing the Queen upon the Throne in all cases of emergency affect:ng the interest of the nation. Some twelvemonth ago, they had presented an address praying for the re peal of the Corn-laws, which had, in his opinion. much accelerated the settlement of that vexa- tious question; and, in his humble opinion, it would be a crowning act of loyalty and patriotism, to present an address, now praying for the emancipation of the na tion's intellect from the thraldom of ignorance ; pro claiming to the world that fountains of knowledge, free as wells of water, were opened for the benefit of the people, whence they might come and drink abundantly, without money and without price ; and above all, with out distinction of religious creed, or poli•►cal opinion. Here sollle disco-stun arose as to how effect should be given to the resolution, and it was ultimately agreed to advertise the resolution, signed by the Town Clerk, and to have it presented to the Members for the City, and the Marquis of Lansdowne. Mr. BENNucs said the notice of his motion was given two months before the Minist►•rial scheme was made public, and since this had been done he preferred a pe tition to Parliament, in lieu of an address, of which he gave notice, and which will be brought forward in due course. The decision excited much satisfaction, a majority o' at least ten to one being in favour of the Governmen scheme. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Aram 15 —.This morning Captain Parke, Lieutenants Digby and H oary, and a corn' any of Royal Marine Artillery, received oruei s to proceed to Woolwich. Last evening a body of the dockyard artisans, numbering amongst them some distinguished proficients in music, gave a concert in aid of the fund raised in this district for the relief of the distress in Ireland and Scotland, under the patronage of Rear-Admiral Superintendent Hyde Parker, C.B. whose l..dy and household attended. The Commander-in-Chief, Ad miral Sir C. Ogle, and his family circle, also attended, as did' the chief officers of the dockyard, their wives. and friends, making a most respectable and brilliant auditory. The vocal and instrumental music, the latter especially, would not have disgraced flanover-square Rooms. A large sum was collected by the disposal of the tickets, which were only half-a-crown each. The entertainment was honestly worth a guinea. The arrangements and tout ensemble reflected the highest credit upon the promoters of the innocent but in tellectual entertainment. A court-martial, or a series of them, is about to take place upon sundry officers and men of the steam-.,100p Salamander, recently home from the Pacific, whose crew and officers are to be quartered in the Victory, pro tem., Captain Pasco having received orders to that effect. The Recruit, 12, Commander Slade, will be brought into harbour to-morrow morning to have her iron cleaned. The execution of the corporal part of the punishment awarded by the court-martial to the deserter Smyth, of this ship, has been delayed, and awaits the decision of the Admiralty. It' it is to be executed, which appears doubtful, it will be in flicted prior to coming into harbour. The Berkshire, of London, was towed to Spithead from Cherbourg last evening by the steam• tug Sir William Wal lace, of London. She has lost fore and mizen masts, main topmast, and bowsprit in a tremendous gale, which she en countered about three weeks ago 600 miles to the westward of the Lizard. She is from Sydney, with a full cargo, and had on board nearly 150 French passengers, who were safely landed at Cherbourg. She is jury rigged. The tug came into harbour at seven o'clock last evening to repair some damage she has sustained before she could proceed to London with her charge. The Thetis, 36, Captain Codrington, was taken out of the dock and into the harbour this morning. The Trident steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Rigge, has completed fuel, and is under orders to proceed to Wool wich, for which place she will sail this evening, weather (which is at present very unpropitious) permitting. THE WEATHER.—The weather in the metropolis has for several days past been exceedingly cold for the season, occasioned by the continued prevalence of a north-easterly wind, which has materially obstructed the progress of vege tation in the suburbs, and has also proved very destructive to the early fruit blossoms, which had expanded from the effects of a previous genial temperature. Yesterday morn ing several showers of snow and bail descended. The hail stones in the neighbourhood of Highgate and Hornsey were of an unusually large size, many of them measuring nearly an inch in circumference. The sun subsequently shone forth with great brilliancy, but the day closed very cloudy and gloomily.

The following details of the conflict are from a New Orleans paper, which reached New York at noon on the 31st, just before the departure of the steamer which passes over the Sound for Boston with the mails and passengers for the Hibernia : THE MEXICAN ARMY, LED BY SANTA ANNA, DEFEATED AT BUENO VISTA WITH GREAT SLAUGHTER. We lay before our readers, in advance of our regular publi cation, the glorious tidings from the army, brought by the schooner John Belt. Our reporter left the vessel in the river, and came up to town by express with the news. The following account was prepared for us by an officer of the army. It may be relied upon. We publish also General Santa Anna's account of the battle, from which it will be seen that he has suffered a defeat, though he covers up his retreat with a flourish of words. It will be seen that victory has been won at a sacrifice of many brave men. _ To-morrow we will giie further particulars, prepared from the editions of the Picayune, by Lieutenant J. J. C. Bibb, of the United States army. Dr. 'turner, of the United States army, who arrived at Matamoras on the 9th instant, from Monterey. brought the glorious inrelligence of another bril►iant victory over the Mexican army. The scene of action was at Bueno Vista, about six miles west of Saltillo. The fighting commenced on the 22d of February, and ended on the 23d. Santa Anna retired to Agua Nueva, a distance of ten miles, leaving 4,000 killed and wounded up , n the field. The loss on our part was 700 killed and wounded. Santa Anna's forces amounted to at least 15,000 men. 'hat of General ; fa3lor'a to about 5,000 almost entirely volunteers. His army is composed of Washington's and Brag's Artil lery and Thomas's Batteries, one squadron of the Ist and 2d Dragoons, the Arkansas and Kentucky Cavalry, a brig de of lidnois and one also of Indiana Volunteers, the 14 Mis sissippi and 2d Kentucky regiments and company of Texas Volunteers. Dr. Turner brought a list of sixty-three officers killed and wounded. I left in such haste that I was unable to obtain a ° L I Z; t a but nt - A d u recollectta nt - m b e a ne r ° a r g l United th e killed e s Captain ,; Li tie o Colonell n , Yell, of the Arksnsaa Cavalry; Captain Moor; Adjutant ' Vough, and three others not named of the Kentucky Cavalry ; Captain M'Kee, Lieutehant-Colonel Clay, son of Henry Clay; Captain Wiliis, 2d Kentucky Infantry; Colonel Hardin sad Major Gorman, of the Illinois Brigade ; together with many ot the Indiana Brigade, seveial of the Mississippi Regiment, and the Lieutenants of the Texas Volunteers. Awing the wounded I remember General Lane, Colonel Jefferson Davis,. Ist Mississippi Regiment; Captain Stem, Ist United States Dragoons; Captain Conner, of the Texas Volunteers • Lieutenants S. G. French and O'Brian, U n it e d States Artillery ; Lieutenant Barbour, 2d Kentucky :In tantry ; Lieutenant Corbin, let Mississippi Regiment; and Lieutenant .Whiteside, of the Indiana Brigade. .The official dispatches of General Taylor have been cut off. Colonel Morgan's regiment of Ohio Volunteers, being re inforced by a command from Monterey, had reached that place in safety. Colonel Curtis, of Ohio, with one company, Captain Hunter, of the 2d United States Dragoons, his own egi ment, one of Indiana Volunteers, the Virginian Regiment, and I think some Texas Rangers, in all about 2,000 men, were about to leave Camargo, to a tt ac k G eneral Urrea, who is said to be about thirty miles south of that place, with an army of 4,000 to 5,000 men, principally rancheros. He is believed to have with him only 1,500 regular troops. A great many, if not all, of these rancheros, as soon as they hear of the destruction of Santa Anna's army, will dis perse, and the Gallant Colonel will, no doubt, obtain the victory. This news from above proves that the various reports which had before been received of General Taylor's retreat upon Monterey, and the advance of a large force to attack our depots at the Brazos and at the mouth of the Rio Grande, to be untrue. Of the defences at the mouth of the river, I know nothing, but have been told that they are sufficient to make a strong resistance. The fortifications at the Brazos, with the force of artillery and persons in the quartermaster's employ, which can be raised as a garrison, are sufficient to drive back a command of at least 2,500 or 3,000 Mexicans. The work, which may be technically termed a continued line, enclosed all the guar terraivter's and commissaries' stores in the depot. The pa rapet is formed of barrels of damaged commissary stores, with sand bags at the superior slope. The sand from a ditch has been thrown up against the barriers, and forms the exterior slope. The armament con sists of four pieces of artillery, two twelve and two six pounders, in barbette, which sweep the foot of and cross three tires upon the level plain over which the enemy would be compelled to advance, and about three hundred muskets to line the parapet. This was thrown up when an attack was daily expected. Nothing having reached us from General Myler for several days, we believe he has surrendered, as was reported. We give some credit to the rumour of an advance of a large body of the enemy upon our depot. After waiting three or four days anxiously expecting the approach of the enemy, we received the glorious news above, understood, of course, that the battle of Brazos Santiago was no go; and when I sailed the artillery of Fort Harney, in stead of mowing down the Mexicans, was pealing forth a salute in honour of Old Rough and Ready and his gallant army at Bueno Vista. SANTA ANNA'S ACCOUNT. We annex Santa Anna's own account of the actions of the Bueno Vista, as translated for the Tampico Sentinel. We have the original Spanish account in our possession : Camp near Bueno Vista, Feb. 23. Excellent Sir,—After two days' battle, in which the enemy with a force of 8,000 to 9,000 men, and 25 pieces of artilley, lost five of his positions, three pieces of artillery, and two flags, I have determined to go back to Ague Nueva, to provide myself with provisions, not having a single biscuit or a grsin of rice lett. Thanks to the position occupied by the enemy—he left on the field about 2,000 dead. Both armies have been cut to pieces, but the trophies of war will give you an idea on which side has been the advantage. We have struggled with hunger and thirst during fort) hours; and if we can provide ourselves with provisions we will go again and charge the enemy. The soldiers under my command have done their duty, and covered the honour of the Mexican nation with glory. The enemy has seen that neither the advantage of his position, nor the broken nature of the ground, nor the rigour of the season (for it has been raining during the action) could prevent the terrible charge with the bayonet, which left him terrified. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. On the 22d Santa Anna began the battle, by various manoeuvres, attempting to outflank and terrify Old Rough and Ready. On that day the battle was confined to skirm ishing and cannonading, without much effect on either. In the meantime Santa Anna had sent a large force to Taylor's rear, but our artillery opened upon them with great effect, and they were soon compelled to withdraw. On the 23d the battle commenced in real earnest, and raged with great violence during the whole day. The Americans did not want to be attacked, but with the most daring impunity charged on the enemy with loud huzzas, their officers leading them most gallantly. General Taylor was everywhere in the thickest of the fight. He received a ball through his over -coat, but was not injured. Adjutant Bliss was slightly wounded at his side. Adju tant Lincoln, also, of the General's staff, the intrepid young officer who so distinguished himself at Resaca de la Palma, was killed. The battle of the 23d lasted from early in the morning ti' about four Pon., when Santa Anna drewoff his army, — an d retired to Ague Nueva, to await a reinforcement. It will be remembered that SantahaAdnnba'esencordpesiadyeedin reserve,its commanded by General Vasques, dais i n an at d te m the y r many of and has no doubt j' battle, but in the mean time of his men deserting. hinisedarhmimy'isastfirr; Captain Hunter's strong artillery company was not in the action, but had left Monterey to join General Taylor with six cannon, two of them being 18-pounders. On the 7th of March one of the Ohio regiments also left Monterey to join General Taylor. If these and the heavy artillery of Captain Prentiss arrive in time, the General's heavy loss will be fully repaired, and he will be ready to meet Santa at the last acco un t s , was still maintaining A nn Taylor, aguin General p in r i i s s e o a n e t o r s C h o a l d o ntaken Marshallplace, a t d g O e l t d b ß a o c u k g h c and . R c e l a a d y y a a ' n ei n g d p e his position, undisturbed by th e enemy. An exchao M. nge of party by taking Mexican prisoners enough to exchange fur them has been fully redeemed. General Wool greatly distinguished himself in the action, and all the officers fought like heroes. After the battle General Taylor demanded of Santa Anna an unconditional surrender of his whole army, which the latter declined; but in return requested General Taylor to surrender immediately. immortal be the reply of Old Rough and Ready, as delivered oy the gallant Lieutenant Crittenden " Gener , d Taylor never surrenders!" Santa Anna's Adjutant General was captured by the '.inerican , , but was afterwards exchanged.

In relation to the re port we give the following trunk the Washington Union:— " The streets of our c:ty have thus day bee . n inundated w i t h rumours about Y.-ra Cruz. It has b een sai I that the city had surrentl , -red without firing a gun. and that the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa was b:own up. Neither of these rumours is correct, as tar at leas a. the Government is now advised. The facts are these : " A letter, which we have seen. hrs been received this day from Havannah, which states that or, the previous evening the steamer ississipri had arrived fro:3 Vera Cruz, having taken the place of the unfortunate Tweei7, which has been recently shipwrecked on the coast. From the reliable ac counts brought by her it wou:d appear that Santa Anna had ordered the troops to be withdrawn from the city, leaving the Castle to defend itself. According to an order issued by Santa Anna, it appears that his troops are to make a stand at the Puerte Nacional—the National Bridge—about 23 miles from Vera Cruz. This is a strong military position, of which Madame Calderon (the lady of the Spanish Minister in Washington, to whose beautiful and admirable Life in Mexico; being a Residence of Two Years in that Country,' fmn . 1839 to 1841, we are indebted f or so ranch amusement and 'formation) gives the following description : "‘ We arrived (on travelling from Vera Cruz to the capital) at Puerte Nacional; formerly Puerte del Rey, celebrated as the scene of many an engagement during the revolution, and by occupying which Victoria frequently prevented the passage of :he lilf7tniqi troops ; And that of the convoys 'c silver to the port. Here we stopped a short time to admire the beaUtiful bridge thrown over the river Antigua, with its stone arches, which brought Mrs. Ward's sketch to my recollection, though it is very lung since I saw the book. We were accompanied by the commander of the fort. It is now a peaceful-looking scene. We walked to the bridge, pulled branches of large white flowers, admired the rapid river dashing over the rocks, and the fine bold scene& that surrounds it. The village is a mere collection of huts, with some fine trees. " Our Baltimore correspondent states that there is no foun dation for the report." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.--THURSDAY. The betting turned chiefly on the great Handicap to be run for this day on Epsom Downs, bringing a larger field of horses into play than we have hitherto quoted. Clermont at one time was backed at 6 to 1, but gave way to the Emerald Isle, who had two or three zealous sup porters, and left off first favourite. Crozier and Sheraton were fancied in several quarters at 10 to 1, and a few tens and scores were laid out on Woltdog and Jenny Wren at 10, 11, and 12 to 1. Of the outsiders Pine Apple had the most friends, 15 and 16 to 1 was taken to a considerable amount. It is expected that at least twenty will come to the post. fhe 2,000 Guineas Stakes underwent an impo-tant cha ge. Planet, although scarcely a bet was laid, having again become first favourite. Conyi,ghain backed freely at 3 to 1 in the early part of the day, having lost favour towards the close. Little or nothing was done on the Chester Cup, but enough was said to justify us in quoting each of the three favourites at improved odds. The two Derby favourites also improved, and so did Glentilt and Conyngham; the betting, however, was very slack.
