Though lately, we rammed at V.e prospect of dearth, Our sorrow is changed into pleasure. ITnexpecte , abundance is detiong the earth. And nature is spreading productions of worth, To a plentiful measure. Rejoice at the prospect ! rejoice ev't" , one I Rejoice at he cheering redundance! And while you consider what nature has don Remember the fact that E. MOSES and SON • Han garments to sell in abundance. Abun,lance and cheapness will shortly appear In the prospect which nature discloses; Nor shall any regret that their garments are dear, Those garments which meet with support far and near, which honour the warehouse of MOSES. ♦ 'Li st ~.1 !

OFFICE, 26, 110:1 - 1ILL, LONDON,. - Capital 500.9001. , Empowered by Actor srliament. • The system of Deferred Annuitie.s, orije illy proposed by the N'tt done! loan Fund Life'Assitranee Society, for the, 'better advance ment of the objects of Benefit and ietioadiv soeieeee, havint received the approbation of a considerable body < f Opt active . member% and officers of those Institutions, ant this Directors oi the National Loan Fund Solely having been urgeway solicited.. by them to eetttbiish Branch Office in connection with, these societies encl, the Doerative Classes generally, in which their services alight be succeesibily en gaged, a Committee ha+ been saucteseed by the Directors do open communication with the different Sselettev, with the -vi e w or snore -ff-ctually d ssemittating the valuable rbeneflte amongst the Indus trious classes, and a pia , has he.-ii•;roeosed wall that object.' ADDRESS 1F THE COSIIIIT,TEIL Many praiseworthy but ineffectual ttempts 'have been made to bring within the "love and operation of the laws of mortality and money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various eal culstlons regul•sting their deeribution, having for their •.bjecd either Immediate, 'contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will '..lemonatrate that the con struetion of those sire ciations or societies is defective; and that in stead affor ling an easy access and a free choice of inieitment, tunic` should he the privilege of every one, they conflneloo nar rowly the eestnnel through which a benefit can alone be secured ; and, in propor' ion as their action is eircemscribed and embarrassed, their utility is linited. For example, it is not to every individual or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision in case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a pecnulary sacrifice ; whi eto others such a provision appears more attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness is a risk against which they desire to ho guarded. For this andinttletts state of things there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is ko say, Instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment; two ar more contingent or deterred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate peestribution. . It is to not having observed thes rule, and to the association of two dissimilar funnioni, and by contbundieg a sick ellowence and an annuity fund in one and the self-same payment, that much of the evils and mismatiagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societieli. No mechanises can be so perfect for the management of a sick - eeas-fand 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 ..xercisbd, and none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it. lent 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 resulteere to bear out calculations, money investment being in general beyond the experience of the industrious !lasses . For these reasons it is clear that the fends destined for a provision in sickness should be kept entirely distinct Iron the fund intendOd as a provision for old age; Ist 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 larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing for probable sickness on themselves. 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 undertake* on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial hodie•. 4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when netted in the same payment with•provisien for old age, tend to dimi nish still more this provision : nor is it witiom or good policy to en danger the one for the sake of the other. Impressed with these =victims, and with an intimate knowledge of the diseuesiond passing within the bosom of many of the existing Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here unto attached, have had several meetings. with a view of proposing or adopting a remedy,for those and other evils ; and in this manner to give an ad litional force to the principles of brotherhood, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly_societies are based, by guarding them from the risks of sudden dissolution. After much diligent search amon.rist the combinations ingeniously proposed frem time to time for the attainment of one of the principal objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal in simplicity and comprehensiveness of design, as well as forethought and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan proposed by the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. It is true that the author of that plan has tarnished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex-- pediency of abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the other pout of the plan itself, without being flatly sa - isfled that the conven ence and safety of Friendly and Igenefit Societies will be greatly secured 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 the establishment of a separate of ice for the transaction of business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in dustrious classes in general, resolutions have been entered into, con etituting the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its number, for the protitulgation of the benefits contained in the an nexed nrospectue, under the guarantee of the Capital or the Society, and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their aj se ge ; i t n he o i l r a s a p g h e er a e nd ot a u d t v il e tt r y sit a y td w a h ff ie o h rd no a th ri n o g te u e p tio t n o opinion the "n g workin g eat y the pTrzsoernn as n ay ur l i t a h s om a adequately secured t o o rtdheerillo.f.

He will be recollected as formerly a Lord'ofihe Treasury, and Member for the - University of Cambridge. The following is a copy of Mr. William's address-: ..." Gentlemen,—, In expectation of an,early dissolution of the present Parliam en t, I beg to announce my in tention of becoming a candidate fur your suffrages at the ensuing- generid election._ " Fifteeq years of, I hope I may say, faithful and zealous service on my part as one of your representa tives, and the deep interest I have, whether in or out of Parliament, ever taken in the prosperity of the borough of Tamworth, audit' the welfare and happiness of its inhabitants, are the claims upon which I rely for the re newal of that confidence which you so kindly reposed in me in four former elections. " If.returned to Parliament, the height of my am bition will be to entitle myself to your approbation, by supporting, to the best of my ability, those measures which will, in my judgment, be most conducive to the public gnod (come those measures from what party they may), and be assured that your local interests will meet with the unceasing care and attention of, " Gentlemen, " Your very obliged and obedient servant, "June 2. " W. Y. PEEL" The opposition is understood.to be directed against Captain .e,COurt; against Sir Hubert, in consequence of his great influence, as chief proprletAir of the borough, it would be altogether futile. The on dit is that Mr. Pye mad the Protectionists of the neighbourhood are at the bottom of the movement, and that rendering the popularity of Mr. William Peel and Lady Jane available, they are-deternrinedio give Sir lioburt some annoyance.

On Saturday' morning, about one o'clock,.a fire of the most alarming and destructive character broke out on the extensive premises of Messra.,llaudslay and Field, the well-known engineers, in•the Westminster -road. Messrs. Maudalay's premises, as will be recollected by, most persons familiar with the district, occupy an erten , sive - frontage in the Westminster-r oa d, exactly opposite the Female Orphan Asylum. The workshops extend several hundr . ettleet in the rear, - 'And are bounded by a . , narrow thoroughfare knOwn '6ltnicester=street, which latter haS an outlet into Oakley-Street. • - The fire, which was first discciyered by a police-con- stable, appears to. have .nriginated 'in an extensive range , of workshops recently .erected,s immediately abutting on Glocester-street. But a very few moments elapsed after its eutbreak before the horizon was brilliantly illumi nated for miles in' every direction, and in a Very short time a number of engines arrived with albody of fire men. who set to work at once to stay the progress of the flames. Unfortunately, however, the fire had ob tained so firm a hold, that their endeavours, thwarted by a miserable lack of water, were of small avail, and at three o'clock the fire was still burning. though with little fear of its advance.beyond the premises on which it originated. The loss of Messrs.- Mandslay must of course be fear ful. All the valuable machinery contained in workshops covering nearly an acre of ground was destroyed, and as the fire appeared to be nearly expiring for want of further material, it was impossible to imagine that any thing had escaped. The reflectioe caused -by the fire was so great, that thousands of_ spectators • congregated from . all parts of the metropolis, end the Westminster-road end its im mediate vicinity were for some time perfectly im passable. - Mr. Superintendent Rutt, with a large body of con stables, and Mr. Inspector Otwav, with a corps of men of the A division, were present; but while some of them doubtless rendered essential service to the operations of the firemen, a large number were occupied in a fruitless warfare with the innocuous spectators who thronged the walls to witness the progress of the fire. ADDITIONAL rAnTicULARS. SATURDAY, 10 A.M. Notwithstanding that ten hours have elapsed since the fire commenced, a considerable body of flame still con tinues burning amidst the immense heap of ruins, and several engines are kept at work pouring torrents of water upon the same. The property that has been de stroyed by this disastrous event will reach to several thousand pounds. at the lowest estimate. As to the cause of the outbreak, nothing that can be depended upon could be learned. It appears that none of the workmen were engaged in any of the factories after nine o'clock last evening, and when the premises were closed they seemed perfectly free from fire. From inquiries made of the heads of the establishment, no doubt is entertained that the outbreak began in the carpenters' workshops. Police constable Colville, 95 L, is also of the same opi nion; he stated that he was on duty in the immediate vicinity of the premises, and whilst passing along his beat he was astonished at seeing an immense sheet of flame issuing from the carpenters' compartments. Be- I fore he had time to make known to any one on the pro perty what had taken place the whole range of car penters' workshops became fired from end to end. As soon as any of the hands could be summoned together, the hose belonging to the firm was carried to the fire cocks, but, although an instant supply of water was ob tained, the fire extended in 4 directions at once, so that in less than 15 minutes after the first discovery was made the conflagration had forced itself into sundry adjacent erec tions. These buildings were of considerable extent, occupying a space of upwards of one hundred square feet. Property of great worth was deposited in every part of the premises, and from the first every endeavour was made to cut the flames off befure they had attacked the pattern loft. Unfortunately the exertions of the firemen were for some time of little avail, and from the carpenters' shops the fire extended to the boiler-makers' houses, and from thence to the pattern-loft and the spacious foundry. At two o'clock the scene presented was one of indescribable brilliancy—the whole of the metropolitan steeples • were illuminated, and the public thoroughfares were rendered as light as at noon day. The firemen kept to their posts, they entered the blazing floor with the branches in hand, and were engaged dis charging water upon the flames until , they were com pletely hedged in with the fire. On several occasion , the scaling ladders were forced to be brought into requi sition. So rapidly did the flames progress, that they were forced to retreat down the ladders to escape being burnt to death. At one time the whole of Oakley street, Burdett -street, Francis -street, and the Westruin • ster-road, for some distance on either side of Messrs. Maudslay's were rendered impessable by the immense crowd of persons who had been drawn together to witness the progress of the conflagration. To keep the crowd out. of the way ,of the firemen, it was found necessary to employ not merely the police of the division, but a large number of constables from the A and M divisions. Under the directions of Mr. Super intendent Rutt and Inspectors Carter, Cowling, Arnold ; and Otway, the men conducted themselves with great propriety, and which was evidenced by the orderly Man - ner in which the congregated multitude conducted tht m selves. Great as the destruction of property has been, it would doubtless have been far more- ei:ensive had there been a scanty supply of water. The following is the official report : —"Pattern shops de stroyed, carpenters' shops consumed, boiler-makers' workshops burned down, about one-half of pattern-lofts burned, foundry destroyed, one vice shop extensively injured by fire, the punching-shop similarl♦ damaged, the roof of smith's shop and new building severely burned. Cause of fire unknown. Insured in the Royal Exchange and other fire-offices." The following is another account sent us by a cor respondent:— Shortly after one o'clock on Saturday morning, a fire of a very, alarming character, broke out at the ma nufactory of Mattlslay, Sons, and Field, the well-known engineers. Their premises occupy an extensive frontage in the Weettninster-road,, opposite the Female Orphan Asylum, and extend several hundred feet. in the rear. and covering altogetherbetween five and six acres. The tire,' which was 'Arse ilisicOvered,hy a policeman, appears to have •originated in Ai! Virensive range 1" building in the rear, funnidg parallel "with•Gloueester- , street, but not the new, premisga, abu ttin g o n it . as stated in several of this morning's papers, and which are - very slightly damaged. A very few moments' only_ elapsed after its outbreak before' the horizon was brilliantly illuminated in eve ry, direction, and.in a very short time several of the fire engites ar rived with a body of firemen, under the superinteadence of Mr. Braidwood, who immediately set to work to stay the progress of the flames, in whic h endeavour they were ably assisted by the workmen employed in the manufactory, who had assembled on the rintiug of the factory bell. Unfortunately, however, the are had by this time made such , progress, and the supply of water was so small, that the flames were not at all subdued till about half-past three o'clock, at which time they were still raging, though without much risk cf their spread ing beyond the premises then on fire. The loss to Messrs. Mandalay and Field must of course be very great, but we were happy to learn, on inquiry, that it will be of 'a pecUniary character only, for the premises which are destroYeti do not comprise thy vice lofts or turnery;:which °entail the principal ina4inery, or the ereetictrahops,. :whic)s the machinery under, manufacture is_erected, but are confined to tjie carpen ters' shop, part of -the pc, boTler.:shops, and part of the forge-41461K which c oist a ffted; no todis machinersAliat,cannot be replacbd in'a very few weeks, and satig t©q to ,know that the. premises were and ,that, no . stoppage will } talcs plebe in the ,, works. - - "-- • • • ii — a j e! cy Ancl.rinceAlbert, FRENC avithutin Gordon, honouret.

Mstii•tivc4 Or THE MANCHESTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCR.—A special general meeting of this body was held on Friday, at the rooms of the association, King-street, "to consider the propriety of petitioning both Houses of the Legislature for the immediate and final removal of all duty on the importation of corn, and of the restrictions which the navigation laws offered to its introduction into this country." Thomas Bazley, Esq., president, took the chair. Mr: Lewis Williams moved the following resolution :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the distress which has so long pre vailed, and still continues in this district, arising from stag nant trade and the consequent stoppage of the employment of the people, and the deplorable condition to Which thou sands of our townsmen have been reduced, through famine and pestilence, which have been widely spread amongst Us in consequence of the scarcity and dearness of food, demand that this chamber forthwith pefitien bcith Houses of Parya.. ment for a permanent adoption,Auring the ,resent fessg e _ of that total freedom of iinPorta which was granted_by 9e.

L_..... .i LEEDS. A slight stir, preparatory to the coming general election, has been made in Leeds. The . Conservative party are. apparently inactive, but it is expected that they tvill bring fo , rward the present representative, Mr. W. Beckett, - who- is sure toL be elected if he will allow himself to be nominated, which it is confidently stated he will. The truly liberal of the reform party will probably give their suffrages to Mr. Aldam, the present c-ileague of Mr. Beckett, provided he offers himself for re-election. 1. he Anti-State Education party have in duced Mr. Joseph Sturge, of Birmingham, to come and feel his way with the electors and non electors. On Thursday Mr. Sturge was met by about 400 of the elec tors, out of a c , instituency of upwards of 6,000, at a meeting at the Music-hall. Aft-r some discussion, it was agreed that a committee should be formed to get up a requisition to Mr. Sturge, who announced that he would address the non-electors ,in Monday next. Though Mr. E. Baines, jun., sup port-d Mr Sturge, he said that he did not agree with all that he (Mr. Sturge) had said. HUDDERSFIELD. An attempt has been made by the Anti-State Edu cation section of the electors of this borough to get a candidate of their " own kidney," and they have talked! of soliciting the chairman of the Anti Corn-law League (Mr. George Wilson), to come forward, but their efforts are likely to prove futile. Mr. W. R. C. Stansfield, the present Member, in all probability will be elected with out opposition. GREENOCK. We mentioned in our last that the requisition in fa vour of Lord John Hay had not been responded to, and that consequently Mr. Dunlop was then the only candi dute in the field. The committee appointed by the meet ing of Lord J. Hay's requisitionists lost nu time in put ting themselves in communication with Lord Melgund, and received from him an assurance that if the constitu ency expressed a wish for his services, he was willing to offer himself for their suffrages.—Greenock Adoertiser, Tuesday. NORTH DURHAM. The Hon. H. - T. Liddell, M.P., has issued an address.to the electors of the Northern Division of the county of Durham, in which, after referrin ! to recent acts of the Legislature, and his course of action in reference thereto, he says that nothing but his indisposition to sa crifice the navigation-laws would induce 111 m to come forwaad. ---- lkithaftoe and Colonel Beckwith have not yet com menced a canvass, and it is thought probable that the latter gentleman will not stand a poll. SOUTH DURHAM. Mr. Ferrer has issued an address to the electors of the Southern Division of this county, offering himself as a candidate in the room of Mr. Bowes, who retires. Lord Harry Vane has not yet signified his intentions, and ru mours are afloat that he also intends to resign in favour of his brother, Lord William Powlett, who is a Protec tiouist. The Duke of Cleveland is understood to have either suggested or sanctioned this arrangement. NORTH NORTHUMBERLAND. • Lord Lovaine and Lord Ossulston have completed their canvass of the Northern Division, and have issued ad dresses thanking the electors for the promises of support they have received. They speak with the utmost confi dence_ as to the issue of the contest. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.' The Liberal party in this borough have, it is said, in duced Mr. Watson, Member for Kinsale, to offer himself as a candidate at the en - suing general election, in opposi ,ion to Mr. Hodgson Hinde ; and his address, it is ex pected, will be published in a tew dhys. Mr. Ord, the present Member, will also stand, so that there is every probability of a severe contest. KINGSTON-UPON-HULL. Since our last a candidate has announced himself for the representation of this borough, in the person of Mr. James Clay, who was unsuccessful at the election in 1841. This gentleman has published an address, in which he pro:esses Liberal principles, and recapitulates the main points of that political creed We are not aware that any committee has yet been formed in his behalf, or that any active canvass has been instituted to secure his return. We hi- ar no definite mention Id his intended colleague ; the only rumour on the subyect being that, at a meeting of Conservatives on Monday, it was sug gested that. application should be made to Sir James Graham to allow himself to be put in nomination for th►s boron h, v hick he represented at the outset of his careen We learn that a communication haa been opened with the Right Hun. Baronet to this effect ; but the re. stilt. if such a course be in agitation, has not transpired. —Lastern Counties Herald of Thursday. • BLACKBURN, LANCASHIRE. The Liberal electors have resolved to bring forward as candidates at the approaching election Mr. James Pilkington and Mr. William Hargreaves. Both of these gentlemen are magistrates for the county, and besides their extensive local influence are highly esteemed by the public generally, which, combined with the series of gains the Liberals have made upon the register of late years, renders their return almost a matter of certainty. Mr. John Hornby, M.P., will again offer himself. It is understood that the Conservatives have not succeeded in obtaining another candidate willing to hazsrd the ex penie of a contest. Mr. Hornby was returned in 1642 by a majority of one. •, SOUTH ESSEX. Mr. George Palmer resigns his seat on the ground of his advanced age przventing him from regular attendance in the House. • W. - Els4er Smith, of Hill-hall, offers himself as Mr. Palmer's 'successor, in the same interest. GEEENWICII. • Rear-Admiral .J. W. I)..l)undas and Mr. E. G. Bar nard will again solicit ths hotlonr of representing this borough. _ u opposition is expected. • STROUD. Mr. M. Merewether Turner, of Woodcote, Carshalton, Surrey, has issued an address solicitint , the suffragei of the electors of this borough on LiberaCprinciples. The lion. Gentleman eppgses the Government plan of edu- Lion, supports a repeaj of the malt -tax, an amendment of the poor-law, and vote by ballot. The Hon. Gentle man, however, explicitly declares that he will not con ?est the borough against two Liberal candidates. The present Members are Messrs. G. Powlett Scrope and W. H. Staunton. It is rumoured that the Conservatives will bring forward a candidate. SIR ROBERT PEEL'S REPLY TO THE BIR MINGHAM REQUISITION. The requisition to Sir Robert Peel, which was put in circulation last week, has been withdrawn, at the express request of the Right HonOurable Baronet. During the time that the canvass Was allowed to proceed the sheets were signed by upwards of 600 persons of all shades of politics; but no estimate can be formed of the probable results of :a general canvass. The attention of Sir Robert was called to the fact of the proposed honour by one of the parties with whom the proposition originated. The following is a copy of the letter to the Right Hon Baronet, and appended to it is the letter - which has led to the withdrawal of the requisition : ''TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR R. PEEL, BART. " Sir.—As one of the originators of the enclosed re qui,tition, I enclose a copy of it to you direct, and which I am glad is now in course of signaturithroughout the borough.

The reports of the potato are conflicting; but upon the whole there are as yet no Plot grounds for predicting a failure as universal As that eflastyear ; and even were the worst to happen, the consequences could be comparatively insirf cant, taking into consideration the breadth of lana sown as compared with former seasons, coupled with the. fact of a greater width of ground being laid down With 'green crops than was ev , r before eultivated in Ireland;': UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

GEOLOGY.—Last week there Was obtained from the Bishopmill quarry,, worked by Mr. Lamb, in the yellow section ot the old red sandstone, a cast or im pression of the trunk, divest. d of. the head and tail, of the fossil fish, lloloptychius Nobilissinaus, which pro mises to throw some light on the normal shape of that organism ; hitherto, with no pfbir',guide thati,the fine specimen obtained by Mr. .

Timber, however, has been during all the last week conii.lg to the r.ea side from Downpatrick, and large sheaves and pumps, end other iron work, from Belfast. Sawyers are at work, and a good deal of activity prevails in preparing some dozens of balks of timber apparently for taking the sheaves; and framing is rapidly being put to gether for several large cases or boxes, which it. is said are to be used in weighing the steamer up, and it would appear in floating her also afterwards, as they are being made water rd with Captain ship, have have been ,f,r anme,days ou,_,boa . . b '.Monthty. - It is said onb oard that will he looked at before she tight.

THE 'POTATO —On Friday the . members Of, the fir r u e ':bel ief, tin Botanical Society sir London l'enevi;ed their discussion 'upon g su a b n j d ectM contended r: 'll: ti m m °a t id lt i ti n ii w si h im ich porta be s n t t ate a d nd hi i s n paper,the ad treasurer, in' the chair. Itir. Rogers, of llubl'n y ;cl ' beta proved by the highest ant h • • oritles that the quantity of nutrition,. taking the termits . ' in general sense, to. be 443- tallied from 100 lbs. eigh t. lv of the dry matter of potato, i§ in every way e qua l , if not superior, to the•quantity•of nutrition in 1001bs. vft4:,l:., taken from the. dry mattenet wheat. Dr. Awes, Dr, C I, to , and Dr. Bosley disputed Mr. Rogers'a theory, and inquired whether he believed that the analy s es ' \ he .i-ad quoted in support of his statement were taken -Von: the whole dry matter of the potato, i. e .,, th e pot a t o s imply dried, or from the dry mate!' ofthe potato after it had under gone. •the proeesses •of -washing arts 'drying necessary to reduce it to flour. Mr. Rogers replied that the analyses had been taken from the whole dry matter of the p otato after ithad been subjected to the processes requisiteto con vert it into flour. Dr. Ayres observed that the greater part of the protean compounds containea in the potato consisted '"of albumen, which is a soluble substance, and, consequently, the washing of the potato, in preparing the flour, would destroy a great deal of that substance, and this fact—as he did not believe the analyses quoted by Mr. Rogers were taken from the whole dry matter of the potato after having undergone the process of washing—this fact, he contended, sufficiently disproved Mr. Rogers's theory. He thought Mr. Rogers was mistaken with regard to the analyses he had g i ven in his 'paper, - but he (Dr. Ayres) would take care, by the next meeting, to inform himself as to the correct• ineat of that statement. The discussion then ceased. -- - .
