The system of Deferred Annuities, or gin :Ey proposed by the Na tional bean Fued Life Assurance Society, for the trotter advance me •t of the objects of Benefit ant Frieralle Soelet es, havine, received the approbation of a considerabit rusty f the active members and officers of those Institutions, and the Director,. of the National !elan Fund So iety having been ttreently solicited by them te establish a Branch Onlee in connexion with these Societies and the Operative Clasges generally, in which their services might he succeesiltly en gaged, a Committee has been sanctioned be the Direetors to open e',111 , 111111!e:Itiorl aith the (tiff:rear S :defies, with the vi,vr of more eft Ovalle d meininatine the vaittaide benefit , aniterest the Indus • trimis da.eees, end a plat , h s been •rweiseit with that 'object. ADDltre'S 1' THE COMMITTEE. Many nraigeworthy btu it, ffeetted ettenipts have been made to bring withitethe s ceite .111.1 operation of the laws of 'no - Laity and money the eavines o the .0 lust nous classes, as well as various cal cul -Wong !wattle , : their distrihutiott, having for their bjeet either immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will eemonstrite that the coo strut ttion of these alseciatioeti or..ocieties Is detective; and that In stead t f atforeing an easy access and a free choice of le vestment, which should be the eri rilege of every one, they confine too tots. rowly the channel through which a benefit can alone be secured ; and, in proporion as their action is octetOrd:inscribd and einarressed, their utility is 'nutted. Fix example, it, is or to eery class amongst the iiiihistrioug'community, that provision in case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a pecnniary sacrifice; whi:e to others such a provision appears more attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness is a risk against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state of things there is an effective and simple remedy that is •to say, Instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more contingent or deferred benests, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. It is to not having observed this rule, and to the asst elation of two dissimilar funetions, and by confounding a sick allowance and an annuity fund in one and the sell. same payment, that much of the evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst itet•efit Societies. No mechanism can be so perfect for the management of a sick - • ess-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso ciation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it, But the Same perfection, or the same se .urity, Is seldom attainable where a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where results are to bear out caiculations, money investment being in getters' beyond the experience of the industrious elasses: For these reasons it is clear that the funds destined tor a provision in sickness should be kept entirely distinct trots; the fend intended as a provision for old age lst. Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently connected, do not depend on the same calculation. 2d. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a largere pr ob T b l provision sickness o noold them agea selves. willing to take the risk of providing 3d. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old age, continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and individual Irre sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of such a contract, that when undertaken on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial Isodie . 4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when netted in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi nish still more this provision : nor sit wis loin or good policy to en danger the one for the sake of the other. Impreesed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existhUt Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here untoere- attached, have had several meetings, with a vie w of prop or adopting a remedy for those arid other evils ; and in this manner to give an ad dtional force to the princip'es of brotherho el, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding them from the risks of sudden dissolution. After much diligent search amen st the combinations ingeniously proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have mound none equal in simplicity and comprehensiveness ot design, as well as forethought and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the It plan Proposed by the National Lo' t'und Life assurance Society. is true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex pediency ce abandoning a provision In sickness, no one can read the other pat tof the plan itself, without being fully satisflei that the coriven once and gaiety of Frentily and Lienetit Societies will be greatly secueed and consulted, by separating the payment of a sick allowance from an annuity for old age. A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to them for tire establishment of a separate face for the transaction of bus.ness connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in dustrious classes in general, resolutions have been entered into, con stituting the inelersigneil as a Committee, with power to add th its number, for the promulgation of the benefits contained in the an nexed prospectus, under the guarantee of the Capital of the -ociety, and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to the present day has adequately secured to them.

In some descrip tions of yarn, however, the deteands Of the spinners were partially acceded to, and purcha , es were made at an advanc6 of id. on last week's prices. li v , V i, r i . ei r i zr i e r t om to l N ea e r w n tyhoatrkt,healcotuhreitscre,eiveived by the elt4rleston, both to the 16th u lt., tend stronglyhteres to cor rob 'rate venous statem-nts as to the delicie . l e Y in the List crop of cotton. Th e weekly,from fv. e .rts, which, at on time, were steadily those of the preceding year, h a d, during the last three ceiniptes excess at ,ss the of wEek::, fallen off' so rapidly, that, at the latest dates, .he total receipts of the present. year exceeded those of the last year by only 4,500 bales. The deficiency this year at New Otlia6 and .Mobile amounted to 200,000 bat s ; and the curret:t estimates tithe total produce of the crop rather fell short of than exceeded 1,800,000 hAles. Under these circurnstauc , s, it is nut surprising to find the cotton market adv:incin at a rate which le.uves the price of this market far behind. Every sue ces,ire advance in the raw material p!aoes the spurner and manufacturer in a worse condition than before ; and a continuance of the preen: buoyant state of the Liverp-el market must lead to a rapid diminution of production. We learn that a large concern in this town, arid anoth.-r at Preston, who had been previously working three days per week, have en tirety c'osed their mills; and that their example is likely to be very extensively followed by the spinners of coarse yarns. ROCHDALE, MONDAY, APRIL 12.-- We have had a better attendance of buyers in the market to day, but tit , re is no decided improvement for the b. tter to report. There is another failure in the manufacturing line announced; the imbilries are variously stated as ranging From 12.0001. to 18,000/, a very small portion of which is in Rochdale: the principal creditors are at Hudders field. The wool market continues flat, without any change in prices worth noticing. HALIFAX MARKET, APRIL 10.—The piece trade remains in pretty much the same dull condition as for some time past.

APRIL 13.—Trade has been very dull in our me km to day, and there have been but few buyers. The foreign houses continue to receive a fair amount of orders; but those connected with the home trade make great complaints LEEDS, APRIL 13 —There is no alteration in the state of our market; busint as was scarcely so.good last Stturday, and to-day not much has been doing, but prices are fully maintained. The unsettled date of the money market could not but chi ck mercantile operations ; people, begin, however, to reason more calmly -on the subject, and, trusting to a liberal policy which the Bank of England will adopt towards the •trad,ng c.,:m.nunity, they think that, with upwards of ten millions of bullion in the cof fers, there are no real causes for such a great alarm as has heist' sounded by speculators, and that things will right the mselves without forcing the Bank to pui on the screw so very tightly.—Manchester Guardian. PUGILISM. NORLEY AND :iIASSEY FOR 1001. ASIDE.—The much talked-of contest b-tween Norley (George Hall), or Manchester, and Jetnmy Massey, of Sheffield, was brought to issue on Tuesday, about a mile below Green bithe, in Kent. The Nymph steamer was chartered for the iiccasiiin. and at halt-past ight ca.t loose from Ilun gerford.

A t C'Airitors, Norley, who bad ;rained at Brigb• tiin, embarked, but v - !e steamer hi Id on her way anti reached Gravesend, where Massey, who had trained et Shoreham, carne on board. The Nymph now re:raced tiro. 'course to Greenbilhe, where, reinforced by an other tug-boat of the mobility, she concourse linded, and the lists were . quickly pitched nn a kvel piece of greensward, selected by th e p rac tised eye of the vete ran commissary, Tom Oliver. At hall-past t all was ready and the M en i n th e ring, when an unex pi-ctrd difficulty arose. ' It had been arrange wo o'eloel; d that um pires and a referee should, to recognise time, be chosen baud the boat, and a Noble Lord and a Gallant Baronet had kindly consented to stand empires, while tt stalwart Captain had been named as ref rep. To this arrangement, however, the Manchester party ohjeci , d and much time (tipaards of an hour) w as u nnicessaril: , consumed.

Thus the mill progressed till GO rounds, occupying one hour ai.cl a half, had been contested. Norley had been for Some time on the getting down system, and it was clear fis those of judgment, that his chance of turning the tide of battle was a faint one, inasmuch as his adversary's Ilerculean frame (albeit in an abridged volume) seemed to lose no tittle of A s power or activity. Norley now frequently fill to close rounds, at which dissatisfaction wss expressed, an d appeals made to the referee, who ordered the contest to proceed until round 66, when Massey fought Norley to the ground, cr i es o f ,4 T a k e him away! even from Norley's backers, were prevalent, still the Manchester men indignantly refused to sur render. It was now, however, from the surprising fresh ness of the younger man, a mere question of time, and the 68th round closed by Norley being fought down for the tenth or fifteenth time successively; accordingly M'Donald, though sorely against the brave fellows wilt, 'threw up the spong e , as the signal of surrender, and with the 105th minute brought the fight to a close, by hailing Massey as the victor. Norley was taken on board the boat, while so little was Massey fatigued or injured that he sat down beside the ring to witness the second battle, between — SNACKS AND G R EENWOOD.—These heroes next made their salaams, to contend for O ld n. aside ;it was a who is an one droll aff,ir ; Snack'' , and in his later days was defeated by Massey (then a boy), was pitted against Greenwood, a loose match youth of 20.

It was arranged, through the Lae Dwarkanauth Tagore, that Carr Tagore and Co. should be agents for th , company in India, with pow. rs to allot 20 000 shares in Ben4al, 10 000 in Botnba.y, and 10,000 in Madras. By adviacs fee India, it app. artl that 10 sii - t2 shares in WI !rid hen allotted, and 4.708 pail upon. The railway was favourably noticed by the East In:lian Company's trlov , rnaient in Bengal, in June, 1846, and early this year conditions were submitted by the East Indian Corn. parry, under whicih they YrqUiti egend their support to Indian railways, a Modification of which, however, had been sought by the directors. But, in the meantime, the directors succeeded in effecting an arrangement with the Fist Indian Railway for amalgamation wiih that corn• pany on the following terms, accepted on both sides;- Ist. The subscribed shares in the Great Western Ben gal Rsilwav Company to be exchanged for an equal number of shares in the consolidated company. 2.1. The tslative expenses of the two companies to be equitably adjusted by mutual arrangements. 3d. Three of the directors of the Great Western Bengal Railway Company to join the consolidated company. 4th. Niels of the officers who may be displaced by the amalgamation to be, considered by the consolidated board. Thebalance-sheet produced showed riitirpliAMOUnt ing to 11,320/. ; disbursements 7,044/. ; leaving a balance of 4,2761., with no outlying debts—the expen diture being something under 3s. 2d. a share. Th 3 CHAIRMAN said he h..d but little to say in re• Bard to their peculiar position, which he hoped they would sanction and confirm. It would be the more un necessary, as Sir George Larpent bad the other day given so very able a repart of the whole conditions and state of the amalgamation. He felt it necessary to s t a t e , however, that they were about to be rej , cted at the East In ian Company's Board, and they were about to call a met ting, in ord, r to wind up, when a proposal was made for amalgamation with the East Indian Railways Company, which the directors considered to be of a nature not to be rejected or lost. They had tried to have a greater number ct the directors in the consoli dated, board, but that was not conceded, and they th..ught it best to accept the conditions which were offered. The Chairman concluded, by moving that the report be received, adopted, and printed. RICHARD HARTLEY KENNEDY, Esq.. in seconding the motion, stud the calculation of the expense on the pro posed line of 900 miles had been made by the East Indian Railway Company at 17,000/. a mile. He was strongly of opinion that that sum was quite the outside calculation, for if a Canal in the very same route was -eekoned at 3,000/. per mile, he did think a railway 'night be made much cheaper than the rate that had been taken in that calculation, say something like 10,0001. a mile ; fur the labour in that country was very cheap, twenty cubic yards of earthwork being accomplished at 2s. In remarking on the traffic returns put forth oy the East Indian Railway Corn [piny. which showed a dividend of 18i per cent. he expr. ssed his opinion that that was very much be low what the traffic would actually be. He risked this pinion on the traffic that must be created in Indian _foam) and corn—the latter, most excellent, being capable of being landed in England at 365. a quarter from Bengal. The motion was put and carried. Mr. WRIGHT proposed the confirmation of the amal gamation. at.d the conditions of the same, with the East )(Ilan Railway Company, which passed unanimously. Mr. CARDEN propmeti a vote of thanks to the direc ms, which was carried. The CHAIRMAN responded. and the meeting dispersed. RAILWAY SHARE. MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, Aram 13.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PoRTSMOUTH, APRIL 13. Tho Si.

The Thetis, 36, Captain Codrington, C. 8., was docked this morning to have her bottom examined and repaired. The Myrtle steam-tender, Second-Master Commander Balliston, left yesterday afternoon for Plymouth with -upernumeraries. The African steam-tug (which arrived here yesterday from Sheerness to do the duty of the Echo while the latter is under repair at Woolwich), and the Drake lighter (the former having Mr. C. P. Bellamy, the Avistant- Mister Attendant, and a body of dockyard riggers on board), proceeded this afternoon to the scene of the wreck of the Sphynx, at Brook, Isle of Wight, to get up that vessel's guns and some of her machinery, thrown overboard when she was ashore. FORGERIES ON THE LC,NDON AND 50 UTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. A young man of very reap- ctable appearance, named Horatio Nelson West, was brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the offi'er, charged with having been concerned in forging a great number of docum,nts, purporting to he shares in the London arid South Western. Railway Company. Another person, whose name, as the evidence did not involve him criminally in the transaction, we shall not publish, was put to the bar at the same time, upon sus picion of having been concerned in tne off nee. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, appeared for the prose cution, and Mr. Humphreys attended for the prisoner West. The second prisoner, who seemed to be quite astoni , bed at his situation, was undefended. The Learned Counsel for the prosecute in briefly stated the case, which, he said, was brought forward at the instance of the directors of the c..mpany. A !plies /ions had been made to the proprietors of thv new Money market, by letter addressed from P.rtlane place, to sell a numb. r of shares, and it was strenge enough oat these shares were found to be forged upon the detection of another offence committed by tne per petrator, who received in payment of a cheque 401. more than he welt entitled to, and appropriated that sum to his own purposes. Mr. James W. Stephens, partner with Mr. Luke James Hansard, said, on the Bth of March, about three or four o'cleek in the afterno,n, I received a letter by the hands of a messenger, a person of shabby appear ance, enclosing fifty shares in the London and South- Western Railway Company, and purporting to come from a gentleman named Craven, of Portland. plaeo. In consequence of the directions contained in that letter, I got the shares verified the following morning at the office of the company, and they were dispose of to Dr. Henry Clark, of Southampton. Observing there was no number mentioned in the letter, I asked the mana ger what number it was in Portland-place, ar.d he, with out any hesitation, said No. 11. Ou the 9th of March the same messenger brought the letter I produoe, pur porting to be from the same gentleman, and requesting to know whether the fifty shares had been sold, and I sent him back an answer, stating t . .at the sale had taken place according to the instructions. Just as I was going to post the letter advising him of the sale, the same m*ssenger came and handed me another letter, request ing the amount of the proceeds. I wrote an answer to hiM, stating to him that we had not as yet received the proceeds of the sale, but that as soon as we received the money, we would forward it to him. On the following - motning, we received another letter, stating that Mr. Craven expected, when he scut to us, that we were agents in cash transactions alone, and requesting that a cheque for the amount should be at once transmitted to him. As I rec-ived intimation that I might have the amount that day, I determined to call myself at Portland place, and leave the cheque for Mr. Craven ; nn f . 41A as I was going out of in office tor that purp , ,se, I tnet the messenger at the door. put a cheque for 259/. 7s. 61. into an envelope, sealed it, directed it, and gave it to the man to convey to his waster. On the following day the eletk of the bunking-house tit which the cheque was paid called and said he ha I overpaid the cheque 401 In consequence of this commun.cation I was induc.-d to send for the prisoner West, isho called twice at my office,.but I happened to be out In about a week, how ever, I saw him, and I asked him from v,horn he had , btained four 101. Bank of England notes which I named to him, and I told him our bankers• had paid that am..unt too much, ami that the notes had been traced to his pos session. He said that the secoti.! prisoner whi, stands next to hitu at the her, and one Mr. Wilson, whom he did not know, came to his office to transact railway business, and that ore or other of them gave him the notes, as the second prisoner owed him some money in another transaction. I pressed him to say which of them had given him the notes, and he said the second prisoner. West gave hick the 401. I said to him, " Why d ► you trouble yourself about it, and why don't you make the second prisoner pay you what you have given up?" He said that Mr. Wilson is one of the Hall of Commerce chaps, and I know nothing about him, and I don't like nis appearance, or something of that. kind. I asked him if he had any objection to walk with me. He said he was perfectly willing. I wished West to identify Wil son, and he walked with me to the Royal Exchange. I told him we had sent the shares to the company, and found they were genuine, and, therefore, we hail nothing more to do with it. Daniel Forrester, the officer, stated that in conse quence of the information which he had received about the overpaid 401., he welt some steps in the case, and he receive 1 iniermation from Birmingham which in duced him to look after West. He found that there had been ad exchange of money at the Batik, part of which was of the sum drawn from the banking house of the last witness, for gold. West said he had received the forty pounds of the second prisoner and a man named Wilson and the second prisoner, came into West's Office at the time, and said he did hand some more y to West, , nd that he and Wilson had had some money transac tions, aml he had received change from Wilson, and gave to West, to whom he owed it. In the course of convey sation with West, witness was told by him that he had been at Ely, but that he had not been at Birmingham for two years and a half. Witness said to him, " Mr. West. you have been at the post-office in Moorgate street ti r letters in the name of Perry," and he denied it. Be said he had been there, but he bad bought a knife and a ring there. The man from the post-office at Birmingham identified him as the person who had called for letters in the name of Perry. Mr. Clarkson said to the second prisoner, who seemed disposed to speak, "As you have DO legal ad viser, I would advise you not to speculate upon ques 'ening this witness." The second prisoner —I don't want to speculate upon anything. lam innocent of any offence. Mary Ann Dingley, of 124, Moor-street, Birmingham, said—l know West by the name of Perry, and he came and lodged in my house from the 18th of March, with the exception of one single night, the 26th, to the 2d of April. Mr. Clarkson then said he should call a gentleman to give direct evidence as to the forged shares. Mr. John Brown, in partnership with Mr. Thomas Price, sharebrokers, said—l received a letter from a person of the name of Perry requesting us to sell some shares, and we sold them, and on the 22d of March we remitted to J. Perry, 124, Moor-street, Birmingham, bank notes to the amount of 1401., one No. 94,538, of 1001. is one of the notes. The shares produced, Nos. 1,411 to 1,415, are parts of those which we sold for Mr. Perry. Mr. Alfred Morgan, treasurer to South-Western Railway Company, looked produced by the last witness, and stated that they were forgeries. ;the Londo n a l t e t n h d e e s e h s hares The five shares purport to be 50 L sharesnumber of forgeries bad been detected , to th e A am gr ou e n a t t (as we understood the witness) of 2,5001.

CASK.--011 Tuesday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, as two drays, loaded with beer, belonging to Charrington's brewery, was coming up Farringdon-street, towards Bridge-street, Blackfriars, one of the butts suddenly made an extra ordinary noise, similar to that of a steam-boat engine when discharging its steam. The driver of the dray being informed of it, very promptly stopped the horses, and, with great presence of mind, got on to the dray, and quickly made a vent for the beer to escape, which. a , cett•ted with such velocity as to reach at least, .twenty feet high. Had not the carman immediately, attenthd to it, no doubt the butt would have buret: end thereby base caused en acrid- tit.
