The public Is respectfully invited to examine the principles of the Deposit System of Assurance, which is based upon tables calculated t y, and is under the immediate supervision of, Francis G. P.

Ifhowever the party, from any cause, wished to cancel the Policy, he could not onlydraw out all hehas put in, viz., 2251., but 62/ 20 71.103 Od 225/. 5221 . 2 5 7 d 2871 . 21 . 3d. a certain bonus of 2s. 9d. in the bargain . , which is more than one-fourth of the whole of his payments, or he could either draw out a part, 20/. or 501., diminishing the Policy only by the assured value of the sum so drawn out at the age when withdrawn. See pagess and 7 in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEposrr assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. idly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy ho can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from II up to the whop amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year ho can, by a single payment, three years, or any timo afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the mrgain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as In a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current prem!ums, and, instead of having any fund to fly to for aid, all his haul-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognised and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of Interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the adyantages of the DEPOSI system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF TEAS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFEASSURANCE BRANCH.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Metric dated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. InAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile Irregularities and excesses, which have pro- Juced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous, Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con-equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extetpive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and Ignorant emptrics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LAILEIZT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage, and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses.

The memorialists state that since the foundation of the society in 1830 it has published no less than 22 volumes of a journal, illustrated with nu merous maps of regions previously unknown or imper fectly described, and that the labours of the society have met with the approbation of distinguished geographers throughout the w or ld. In th e prosecu ti on o f geogra phical researches it has expended no less a sum than 34,000/. sterling in defraying the expenses of intelligent and experienced t rave ll ers engaged in exploring and in vestigating distant and unknown regions. Upon certain conditions, and under certain restrictions, the memorial suggests the establishment of a " map-office," to which all persons in the public service should have access for the purpose of consulting maps, p l ans, and charts, which, it is conceived, would be a great privilege and desideratum in a great com merc i a l and maritime empire like Great Britain. The memorial is signed by Sir Roderick Impey Murchison, president, and by the Earl of Ellesmere, Captain George Back, R.N., Sir Wood bine Parish, and Captain W. H. Smyth, vice-presidents of the society. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1853. THE LATE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT FARNHAM. fact. He came to the end of the fencing, and then jumped from the yard on to the line, and ran along by the wall until he could catch hold of the old portion of the fence. Mr. Edward Matthews, of Farnham, a dealer, was also examined. The Coroner then proceeded to sum up. They had heard that a stipulation had been entered into with the Board of Trade that only one engine should be on the line at a time ; and that stipulation appearing to have been broken, a question would arise between the direc tors and the Board of Trade on the subject, with which they had nothing to do. There could be little doubt that the survey train being taken for the regular train was the primary cause of the accident ; but he could not divest himself of the opinion that the unfortunate de ceased himself had been guilty of great negligence and carelessness. Should they find that blame was attached to any one, it must be to the Hon. Mr. Scott and Mr. Beattie, who were on the line in a carriage, without any apparent motive which should render it necessary for them to have been there just as another train was due ; and they must altogether acquit of blame Messrs. Eaton and Ireton, who appeared to have performed their duty carefully and properly. The jury having been in deliberation upwards of two hours, found a verdict of manslaughter against the Hon. Francis Scott, M.P., and Mr. Beattie—the verdict having been agreed to by twelve jury - men, and there being five dissentients. VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST THE CHAIRMAN AND SUPERINTENDENT OF THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. On Tuesday, Mr. C. J. Woods, the coroner for West Surrey, resumed at the Railway Arms, Farnham, the adjourned inquiry respecting the death of Charles Can ning, aged twenty, who was killed by being run over, on the 14th instant, by a special survey train, near the Farnham station. James Edwards, the gatekeeper, said that he had been in his situation four years next October. There were six passenger trains to Farnham, all of which stopped at the station. No ordinary passengers' train passed without stopping. When he heard the train approaching which caused the accident, he thought it was the ordinary train. He had received no notice that a special train was expected, and until it had passed him he had no idea of one coming. They had sometimes a verbal and some times a written message that special trains were coming, and generally a red board at the end of the train preceding them. They had had a coal train de. without any notice, but that came in very slowly,'When he first saw the deceased, he was at the end of some palings which had been recently put up at the station, just at the end of the platform. He was running, and was run ning about sixty or seventy yards away. He got hold of the fence with one hand, and his left leg was on the brick wall of the platform, when something caught him and hurled him down, but whether it was the engine or one of the carriages he could not tell. Deceased did not fall before he reached the spot. Some persons got out of the train, but he did not know who they were. The ordinary train came in five minutes after the accident. By a Juror—The usual signal tail-board was not on the preceding train. By the Coroner—The fence had since been put back about a foot or eighteen inches. Mr. Crombie denied *hat •the,traisk in question was a special one ; it was a service train for the company's servants. It was his duty to show that the station was clear, and having ascertained such to be the case an engine could then pass. He had done so on the day the accident happened. By the Coroner—The deceased had time to get out of the way by crossing the line. His duty was to attend to the trains. By Mr, Crombie—The porters ought to be on the platform, and the train that day was behind time. By Captain Simmons—The palings had been put up about the Thursday before the accident, and were altered the same day as the inquest was commenced last week. He did not know the exact height of the palings. William Gerrard, a porter of the company, was next examined. Had been in their employment for upwards of seven years. The deceased and witness were working together in the warehouse, which was below the station, near to Alton. It was 61 yards from the station. When a train arrived it was his duty, as well as that of de ceased, to attend to it. He had a book of the rules, but no part of it related to the porter being on the platform at any particular time. On the afternoon of the 14th, they were waiting to hear the signal for the ordinary train, which was then expected. There was a bell sounded at the station on the arrival of each train. He heard both the whistle and the bell on the evening when the special train came in. They both went to attend to it. There was one way upon the platform, and another through the office. They were not forbidden to go upon the line. That was a nearer way than through the office. By the Foreman—They had time to get on to the platform after the whistle was sounded. By Mr. Crombie- He did not know how many per sons were on the engine, but they appeared to be beckon ing the deceased to get out of the way. They were moving their hands. The deceased was rather slow and careless. He had cautioned him, by Mr. Kitchen's order, from running into danger. The paling was put up to prevent the people from getting on to the line. If a special train had been known to have been coming, he thought that Mr. Kitchen, the station master, wou ld have told him. Th e d ecease d was cautioned of the danger he ran some time back, when he Was pushed by some coal waggons against the same wall. Richard Eaton, the driver of the engine, was cautioned by the coroner that his evidence might possibly be here after made use of against himself, and was asked if he was willing to be examined. The witness replied in the affirmative, and stated he was principal foreman in the locomotive department. He was on the train on the 14th instant by which Can ning was killed. They left Nine Elms about half-past four in the afternoon, and came to Woking with the en gine only. Henry Ireton, a driver, and Mr. Joseph Beattie, superintendent of the locomotive and carriage department, was also on the engine with witness. Some times he was driving, and sometimes Ireton. They went to Woking to meet the Hon. Francis Scott, the chairman of the company, to go and survey several sta tions. At Godalming, whilst Mr. Scott and Mr. Beattie were examining the station, he attached a coupe carriage to the rear of the train, that they might view the lino better. They returned to Guild ford about 6.12 or 6.15. He believed the down London train must then have arrived, but he did net see it. They remained at Guildford about three minutes, and then proceeded to Farnham. He understood from the first that they were to precede the five o'clock Lon don train. He did not originally know that he was going to Godalming. He received instructions at Guildford from Mr. Beattie to proceed to that place before going to Alton. When he returned to Guildford from Godalming he saw the Alton train getting ready. He knew therefore that he must be in advance of the five o'clock train. That train ought to leave Guildford a few minutes after six. The proper time would be 6.5 ; and he believed it was about eight minutes past that time when they arrived at Guildford from Godalming. Had the train gone on ho should have ascertained the precise time at which it proceeded. Had that train ar rived at Guildford first, it would have gone before them. Witness had directions from Mr. Beattie to precede the five o'clock train. When they arrived at the Farnham station, the usual " all right" signal was up, and the gates open. Witness sounded the whistle two or three hundred yards before he could see the signal, which he could see 300 or 400 yards. They gave a good long loud whistle. He would have done the same thing had he been driving an ordinary train. The steam was shut off nearly half a mile from the station. The signals were all right. On passing a station he always kept his eye on the platform. He did so on this occasion, and turned round to put the steam on again, when he heard Ireton call out ; and, on turning round again, he saw him and Wakefield motioning to somebody to get out of the way or stop where he was. Witness did not see Canning until the engine was passing him. He was then at the extreme end of the platform, with his back to the wall. Canning was then looking up at th e en gine, which passed him all right. He did not see him struck, but Ireton called out that he was so, and put on his break. They were travelling at a rate of from seven to nine miles an hour. Captain Galton, and Alfred Mountain, station master at Guildford, gave evidence as to the departure of the trains from that place. Captain Simmons said that he had been instructed by the Board of Trade to make inquiries into the circum stances connected with this accident. The line was single from Ashe. The place at the station where the deceased met his death was 3ft. 3in. from the rails, sufficiently distant to be safe. From what he had al ready heard and seen, the arrangements appeared to him to be unsatisfactory ; but before he made his report to the Board of Trade, he should be glad to hear further explanations from the officials of the company on the subject. Henry Ireton deposed that he was an engineer in the employment of the South-Western Company, but he was acting as fireman on the occasion of the accident. They passed the Aube station without stopping, and about 600 yards from the Farnham station Mr. Eaton sounded the whistle. They then proceeded cautiously up to the station, till they found that the signals were clear for them to proceed. He saw those signals. When about one-third along the platform he saw the deceased about four or five yards beyond the platform, as though he was coming from the goods station. He was then running between the line of rails, on the same road as they were on, in front of the engine. He looked at him hard, and saw him turn off the line to his left, and then turned back on to the road, still running. Witness then shouted to him, and beckoned to him with his right hand to stand on one side. He looked up and smiled, and witness thought lie understood what was meant. At the end of the platform, instead of turning towards the six foot, he turned inside towards the platform. Witness applied the break, and the engine and part of the car riage passed the deceased, who made another attempt to get on the platform, when he was struck on the hip by the centre step of the carriage. Deceased had ample time to get out of the way. Would swear they were not going at the rate of 15 miles an hour. Mr. Joseph Kitchen deposed that he was the station master at Farnham. He had been so for the last six months. Canning had been employed at the station rather more than three months. Witness had had to complain of the slowness with which he performed his duties, and to caution him to take care of himself, as he had seen him once or twice in a dangerous position be tween the brickwork of the wall where the fence was and the ordinary trains. On the last occasion he told him that if he had to complain again he should be obliged to recommend his dismissal. Charles Weedon, of Farnham, driver of the o mn ib us to and from the station, deposed he was on the platform and saw the train come in as Charles Canning was run ning from the warehouse below the station. When he first saw him he was about ten yards from the new railing. On coming up to the old railings, he caught t hold b r o i f ek t I t i v e o f r e k n . c e T b h y e o e n n e g i lnd and niaean, and tender he passed one footon h i in,but the step of the carriage caught him, and threw him forward under the train. Witness heard the whistle of the engine and the bell of the station, and it was after that that he saw Canning running. Wi tness did not notice that the train was going very fast, and he thought it was an ordinary train until it passed him. It was not going at any great speed, though rather be yond that of the usual trains. When Canning caught at the fence, he appeared to have lost his presence of mind, and looked frightened. Canning was about fifteen yards from the fence when he first saw him. He was altogether away from the rails—in the station yard, in SUCCESSION DUTY BILL. The Succession Duty Bill, as prepared and brought in by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord John Russell, and the Solicitor-General, has just been printed under an order of the House of Commons. It is intituled " A bill for granting to her Majesty duties on succession to property, and for altering certain provisions of the acts charging duties on legacies and shares of personal estates. The first or interpretation clause provides that, for the purposes of the act, the term "real property" shall de note all freehold, copyhold, customary, leasehold, and other hereditaments, whether corporeal or incorporeal, in Great Britain and Ireland, not comprised in the defi nition of " personal property," which term is not to in clude leaseholds, but shall include money payable under any engagement, and all other property ordinarly de noted by the words "personal property," and all such shares of any public company as are accounted real estate and personal annuities of inheritance. By clause 2 it is enacted that every past or future dis position of property, by reason whereof, upon the death of any person dying after the time appointed for the commencement of the act, any other person is or shall become entitled to any beneficial interest in any pro perty, either immediately or after any interval, certainly or contingently, and either originally or by way of sub stitutive limitation, and every devolution by d escent, reverter, or act of law of any beneficial interest in real property, either in possession or expectancy upon the death of any person dying after the commencement of the act, to any other person, shall be deemed to confer on the person entitled by reason of any such disposition or devolution a "succession ;" and the term " successor" shall mean the person so entitled, and the term " pre decessor" the settlor, testator, obligor, ancestor, or other person from whom the interest of the successor is or shall be derived. Clause 3 provides that where any person, shall, at or after the passing of the act, have any property vested in them jointly, by any title not conferring on them a suc cession, any beneficial interest in such property accruing to any of them by survivorship shall be deemed to be a succession ; and every person to whom any such inte rest shall accrue shall be held to be the successor ; and the person upon whose death such accruer shall take place shall be accounted the predecessor ; and where any person shall take any succession jointly, they shall pay the duty, if any, chargeable theron by this bill, in pro portion to their respective interests in the succession ; and any beneficial interest in such succession, accruing to any of them by survivorship, shall be deemed to be a new succession derived from the predecessor from whom the joint title shall have been derived. It is provided by section 4 that " Whew, by reason of any past or future disposition of property taking effect upon the death of any person dying after the time appointed for the commencement of this act, any other person shall have a power of appointment over property exerciseable for his own benefit, he shall, in the event of his making any appointment for his own benefit, be deemed to be entitled at the time of his exer cising such power to the property or interest thereby appointed as a succession, and the person by whom such power shall have been created shall be deemed to be the predecessor ; but in all other cases the person taking a suc cession by the exercise of any power of appointment shall be deemed to have derived his succession from the person creating the power as predecessor." Again, it is enacted by clause 5 that " Where any property shall at or after the time appointed for the commencement of this act bo subject to any charge, estate, or interest, determinable by the death of any per son, or at any period ascertainable only by reference to death, the increase of benefit accruing to any person or persons upon the extinction or determination of such charge, estate, or interest shall be deemed to be a succession accru ing to the person, or the persons if more than one, then entitled beneficially in possession to the property, accord ing -to his or their respective estates or interests therein, or beneficial enjoyment thereof; and the person or persons from whom such successor or successors respectively shall have derived title to the property so charged shall be deemed to be the predecessor or predecessors, as the case may be." By section 6, "Where any disposition of property, not being a bond fide sale, and not conferring an interest expectant on deatk on the person in whose favour the same shall be made, shall be accompanied by the reservation or assurance of or con tract for any benefit to the grantor, or any other person, for any term of life or for any period ascertainable only by reference to death, such disposition shall be deemed to con fer at the determination of such benefit an increase of bene ficial interest in such property, as a succession equal in annual value to the yearly amount or yearly value of the benefit so reserved, assured, or contracted for, on the per son in whose favour such disposition shall be made." Clause 7 enacts that " Where any disposition of property shall be made to take effect at a period ascertainable only by reference to the date of the death of any person dying after the time appointed for the commencement of this act, such disposition shall be deemed to confer a succession on the person in whose favour the same shall be made ; and where any disposition of pro perty shall purport to take effect presently, or under such circumstances as not to confer a succession, but by the effect or in consequence of any engagement, secret trust, or arrangement, the beneficial ownership of such property shall not bona fide pass according to such disposition, but shall. in fact, devolve to any person on death, or at some period ascertainable only by reference to death, then such last-mentioned person shall be deemed to acquire a succes sion derived from the person making the disposition as the predecessor; and where any court of co m p e t en t jurisdic tion shall declare any other disposition to have been frau dulently made for evading the duty imposed by this act, it shall be lawful for such court to declare a succession to have been conferred on such person at such time and to such an extent as such court shall think just ; and such last-mentioned person shall be deemed to have taken a succession accordingly derived from the person making such a disposition as predecessor." So far with respect to the description of successions to be chargeable with duty under the act. The bill pro ceeds to state that the duties imposed under it shall be considered as stamp duties, and shall be under the care and management of the Commissioners of Inland Re venue. The next important feature of the measure is the scale of duties to be levied and paid under it in respect of every succession, according to its value. The follow ing are the duties, namely : "1. Where the successor shall be the lineal issue, or lineal ancestor of the predecessor, a duty of 1/. per centum upon such value. "2. Where the successor shall be a brother or sister, or a descendant of a brother or sister of the predecessor, duty at the rate of 3/. per centum upon such value. "3. Where the successor shall be a brother or sister of the father or mother, or a descendent of a brother or sister of the father or mother of the predecessor, a duty at the rate of 5/. per centum upon such value. " 4. Where the successor shall be a brother or sister of the grandfather or grandmother, or a descendant of the brother or sister of the grandfather or grandmother of the predecessor, a duty at the rate of f 2. per centum upon such value. " 5. Where the successor shall be iu any other degree of collateral consanguinity to the predecessor than is herein before described, or shall be a stranger in blood to him, a duty at the rate of 101. per centum on such value." The bill (inter alia) makes a succession, subject to trusts for charitable or public purposes, chargeable with duty ; provides that leasehold estates are not to be charged with legacy duty as personal estate ; that the interest of a successor in real property is to be con sidered a.s an annuity ; that real property directed to be sold shall be considered as personalty ; and that no duty shall be payable on any succession which shall be of less value than 201. in the whole, or upon any moneys ap plied to the payment of the duty on any succession ac cording to any trust for that purpose, or by any person in respect of a succession, who, if taking the same as a legacy, would be exempted from the payment of duty under the Legacy Duty Acts. These are the principal provisions of the bill ; but it also contains elaborate rules for valuing lands, houses, timber, advowsons, manors, mines, and every conceivnble descrip tion of property which can be the subject of succession ; states under what circumstances allowances can be made for incumbrances ; gives a power to the commissioners to receive the duty in advance, and to commute that which may accrue in future ; and provides that the act shall take effect and come into operation from the 19th of May in the present year. TER➢IS OF THE NEW AUSTRALIAN CONTRACT.—Ac cording to the conditions of the new Australian mai contract the contractors must state at which of the three ports, Melbourne, Sydney, or Adelaide they propose to sail, and they will be bound accordingly, but they will be at liberty to touch at either, or both of the other two ports, as may suit their convenience. If the contractors cannot touch at all the three ports they must provide for the delivery of mails at the ports at which they do not touch. If they land all the mails at Adelaide a deduction of fourteen days will be made for the time allowed them for the performance of the whole mail ser vice, and if they land them at Melbourne a deduction of seven days will be made.

To confirm the report of the Syndicate appointed February 2, 1853, to draw up a scheme of regulations for the institution of the above prizes. The report (which has been previously printed) pro vides that there shall be two yearly prizes, to be called " The Carus Greek Testament Prizes," and that one of the prizes shall be open for competition to all students who, having been admitted ad respondendum, queestioni, are not of sufficient standing to be created Masters of Arts, and to students in civil law or medicine, of not more than seven years' standing, who shall lie required, before they are admitted to become candidates, to pro duce certificates from their respective professors that they have kept exercises necessary for the degree of Bachelor of Law or Physic. That the other prize shall be open to all students who are not of sufficient standing to be admitted ad respondenclum qucestioni. The report then suggests regulations for the appointment of ex aminers, and the dates of examination for the Bachelors' and Undergraduates' prizes, with subjects of examina tion, and other statutory regulations. A copy of the report, which has regard to the further offer of Mr. Carus, above alluded to, was laid on the registrar's table. 3.

The report defines his proposed duties, and proposes sundry other minor changes in the management. SOCIETY OF ARTS. At the usual meeting, held last evening at the rooms in the Adelphi, a paper was read by Mr. Loseby, " On recent improvements in Chronometers." Mr. Wink worth presided. Previous to the paper being read, it was announced that her Majesty's Commissioners for the Great Exhibition had presented copies of the jurors' re ports, the commissioners' report, catalogue, &c., to the Council of the Society, in all amounting to nine splen didly-bound volumes, which lay on the table for the in soection of the members. Mr. Loseby, in the course of his long and interesting paper which followed, entered into a general description of the various parts of the chronometer—the train, the escapement, and balance — and observed that they were seldom made to go more than eight days ; but that the two days' chronometers were better in principle, as any irregularity would cor rect itself in that time. There was little difference pro duced by the form of the teeth, while durability depended on the hardness of the brass or steel of which they were composed. He pointed out the difference between the escapement of the chronometer and the common watch, remarking that the repairs of the former ought to be entrusted to no one but to chronometer. makers, as he had known common watchmakers destroy in a few moments the labour of months, from attending only to mechanical execution, and not to theory and principle. The latter were ignorant of the adjustments, which might be called the mental part of chronometer making, and which were attended with so much nicety of calculation and execution that the making of a first rate chronometer occupied twelve menths. He went on to describe the methods adopted for adjusting compen sations for temperature, the only part of their manufac ture in which great improvements had been made ; in other respects they were the same as they were fifty years ago. He illustrated this portion of his lecture by referring to various diagrams, an d many of the d eta i ls were of a purely technical character, and only intelligi ble to the professional part of his audience. the r o oem saideter that the balance was adj us t e d b y trying in different temperatu res , un til the exact point was as certained at which one error neutralised another, the final adjust men t was not obtained in less thant ' we a l n v d e months. Aft er a ll u di ng t o the conditions needful for a good chronometer, and the methods used to remedy the defects of the old construction, explain e d the peculi arities of the inv en ti ons of Arnold, others, with the sev era l degrees of success Ive, Dent, and they had obtained, and then alluded to the contrivance introduced by himself, viz., the employment of mercury :to effect . secondary compensation, the mercury being contained in tubes attached by fittings to the balance. He described the effect of substituting a fluid for a solid agent in the action of the chronometer, and the immediate results, stating that th e secon d ary compensation could be a s justed to five-tenths of a second a day; while, as regard s the permanent effect, th e g l ass t u b es were hermetically sealed, and no change could take place more than in the ordinary chronometers. This, however, was not the first time that mercury had been tried, as a similar experi riment had taken place in France, though its application to affect the primary compensation had failed. Mr. Loseby then referred to the results of the trials made of the chronometers of the different makers at the Royal Observatory, and read a long; letter from the late Mr. Dent to the Secretary of the Admiralty im pugning the character of the improvements introduced by himself. Several members objected to the reading of the letter, on the ground that it related to matters of a personal rather than a scientific interest ; and the Chairman observed that the society wan not the arena for personal discussion. The lecturer was at length per mitted to read his reply to Mr. Dent's letter, in which he strongly maintained the superiority of his chrono meters, as shown by the recorded results of the various trials, continued for twenty-four weeks in each year, for four years. At the close of the lecture, Mr. Denison, one of the jurors who had reported on the question at the Great Exhibition, defended the statements of Mr. Dent, and the mode in which the experiments were con ducted, as the best calculated to obtain the most correct results, and contended that Mr. Loseby, with respect to the point of secondary compensation, for which he claimed credit, had been beaten in every year. The Chairman, with a view to afford the lecturer the oppor tunity of reply, suggested the adjournment of the dis cussion to Monday evening , when M r . W enham will read a p a p er on a subject closely connected with the lecture of the evening, viz., "On Glass Balance Springs." libanks were then voted to Mr. Loseby for his valuable and ingenious paper. It was then stated by the Secretary that, at the meet ing on Wednesday evening next, an announcement of an important character would be made relative to the in tended Exhibition in Paris in 1855, and also with re spect to the operation of the French tariff, and its re striction on the introduction of 'British manufactures. It was also stated that his Royal Highness Prince Albert would preside at the distribution of the medals given by he society, on the 10th of June. 7 , ,€. 6 , 7 . , ANNIVERSARY DINNER OF THE FISH MONGERS' COMPANY. Last night the annual dinner of this ancient company took place in their hall, Loadon-bridge, Mr. Benjami n Shaw, Prime Warden, in the chair, supported on the right by Viscount Hardinge, the Baron de Goldamid, Sir R. Bethell, Solicitor-General, Mr. J. Masterman, M.P., and Sir J. Duke, M.P. ; and on the left by Ad tniral Sir C. Napier, Mr. W. G. Hayter, M.P., Mr. W. Keogh, M.P., Solicitor-General for Ireland, Mr. Sergeant Goulburn, Mr. Sergeant Channell, Mr. Alder man Thompson, M.P., and Mr. H. A. Aglionby, M.P. Among the company present we also observed—Mr. Alderman Cubitt, M.P., Mr. E. Miall, M.P., Mr. E. Ball, M.P., Mr. Hadfield, M.P., Mr. F. Cro s sl e y, M.P., Mr. J. K ers h aw , M.P., Mr. Cheetham, M.P., Mr. M. Chambers, M.P., Mr. Alderman Humphery, &c. Lord HARDING; in reply to the toast of "The Army and Navy," said that the army felt deeply sensible of any compliment given to them, and were particularly proud to be associated with the citizens of London, who, they remembered, after the battle of Waterloo and other serious occasions, when thousands of orphans were de prived of their fathers, had come forward with a great and generous liberality to repair the misfortunes of war. He assured the meeting that the army was at the pre sent moment in an admirable state of discipline. It had been proved in recent times, he said, by the battles which had taken place in India under Sir C. Napier, Lord Gough, and others, that the British soldiers had not dege nerated from what they were in the glorious• days of the Peninsular war, when they fought and conquered, and did their duty like men. (Hear, hear.) The army and navy had a very serious duty to perform in enabling this great commercial country to carryon its transaction sin security. The one branch of the service held our colonial posses. sions in safety, and it was a remarkable fact that, in Australia our soldiers did not go to the diggings, but re mained firmly at their posts, while the other branch of the service did its duty triumphantly on, every sea. (Hear.) He begged also to say, that he was proud to have his name associated with that of his gallant friend Sir C. Napier, whom he had the good fortune to know for upwards of 40 years—his first acquaintance with him having commenced at the battle of Busaco, when the present General Sir C. Napier having been wounded with a spent ball, he saw his gallant friend carrying him off the field of battle. (Hear.) His gallant friend had, therefore, learnt the profession of a soldier under the great Duke • and might, if he had continued in it, been as distinguished as a soldier as he had since been as a sailor. He trusted that this country would long con tinue to enjoy its present peace and prosperity, and that his gallant friend and himself would not be called upon for any further operations. (Cheers.) Admiral Sir C. NAPIER begged to return thanks, in the first place, to the company for the honour they had done him in inviting him to that magnificent festival, and, in the second place, to the chairman for coupling his name with the profession to which he had the honour to belong. He'had had frequent occasions in this great commercial capital of the world of returning thanks for the navy, but he did not think he had ever done so with more pleasure than on the present occasion, because he was happy to say that we had at last got a navy (laughter)---thanks to the late Government, who came torward and told the Parliament and the country that the navy was in an unsatisfactory state, and that the country was not secure—the consequence of which was that Parliament, he might almost say by acclamation, had voted a larger force for the protection of the coun try, and that force, he hoped and trusted, would soon arrive at the point which it ought to reach. (Hear, hear.) The present Government, he must also say to their credit, had followed up the views of the late Government, and carried them out as far as they possibly could. The late Government did even a little more, for, although he was not a friend of theirs, he thought it just and due to them to say that, finding that the navy had for many years been very eatl neglected, th e y appointed a committee to in v e st igat e the cause of the neglect—h e might almost call it the falling off of the British navy, and a very proper report the committee had made. The present Government, he was happy to say, had carried it out to a great extent. They had improved the position of the sailor ; they had given him more pay, and they had laid a foundation for the establishment of a strong and permanent navy in the same way as we had a permanent army and a permanent artillery. He hoped and trusted that the encouragement which was now being given to the navy would bring forth good fruits, and that we should no longer see the Government begging and praying sailors to come forward and enter the navy ; but that we should see them anxious to enter it as one of the most splendid situations which a sailor could pos sibly possess. (Hear, hear.) Perhaps the time was come when the British navy would be looked up to with more attention and respect than it had been for a great number of years. There was a storm brewing in the east which looked very black indeed. God only knew how it would end. At the very moment he was speaking, perhaps, the fate of the Turkish empire was sealed. He hoped it was not, for he must say we were not in a position to defend the Turkish empire ; but we were in a position which would force us to be extremely cautious in what we did. The Emperor of Russia was famed for his moderation. He hoped we were not de ceived in him ; but he seemed to have Turkey at his feet. (Hear, hear.) If what we were told was true, his ultimatum had been rejected, and the Turks must, therefore, depend on themselves, for we could give them but little support. It was true we had a fleet in the Mediterranean, and that the French had a fleet there too; but we ought not to forget that Russia had a fleet of 30 sail of the line in the Baltic, and if we offended Russia, he wanted to know how we were to defend our selves. (Hear, hear.) Thanks to the past and the pre sent Administration, we bad got ten sail of the line, but ten of course would not speak in the way that 20 would do ; and Russia, he repeated, had 30 sail of the line in the Baltic, while we had only ten there. But he believed, nevertheless, that with that ten sail of the line, manned as he hoped they would be, we might do a good deal, and though he would not say that it would enable us to oppose the enormous force of Russia, yet one thing he would say, that, if unfortunately war should be declared, the British navy would be " ready, aye ready" to do its duty. (Applause.) The following toasts were then given in succession : "Her Majesty's Ministers," by the Prime Warden, f or which Mr. Hayter returned thanks ; "The Prime Warden," by Lord Hardinge, to which the former re plied ; " T l The ar Honorary , o . rfy Th F e re ß em ep e r n ese o n f ta th ti e ve C s o o m f p th a e ny c , ity " the Prime , by the Prime .Warden, health of which Baron was d G acknowledg ed oldsm id b , y " Sir by the ja PrimemesDue , Duke “T Warden, who expressed an earnest hope that the community (the Jews) to which that gentleman be longed would soon be admitted to all the rights and pri vileges of British subjects, for which Baron de Goldsmid eturned thanks; "The Solicitor-General for England," by the Prime Warden, for which Sir R. Bethell returned thanks. — The PRIME WARDEN, in giving "The health of Mr. Keogh, the Solicitor-General for Ireland," said, that if the principle were establi s h e d t h roughout that country which was acted upon by the Fishmongers' Company towards their 500 tenants there, he thought it would be productive of great advantage. The Fishmongers' Com pany made no distinction as regarded the religious prin ciples of their tenants, but treated Catholic tant, Presbyt er i an and Methodist and Protes , with equal indul gence. They a l so recognised a sort of tenant-right— that was to s a y, w h ere a tenant had improved the estate, he received from the incoming tenant a sum equivalent to the value of the improvements. M (Hear.) r. KE OGH , i n returning thanks, corroborated the Company had long been distinguished in Ireland by the manner in which they treated their tenants ; and said he could safely add his testimony, that if all the land lords went and did likewise, that portion of th e B r i t i s h dominion s would ere long be a help and an assistance, instea,d of a drag on this country. Several other toasts were given, and the company, which consisted of upwards of 100 persons, separated about half-past 11 o'clock. tue T u h s e , dinner, p ner, r w ev h i i d c ed h washy m in Messrs, , Rin and a highe g st a d n e d gr .B ee ry su rn m e p r: Corahill.
