On comparison of these two tables it will be seen the aactanpasersmorne tinder the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance ca n secure th e follow ing advantages, viz., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2dly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, TRUE 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, b y giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw , tiv part from II up to the Whole amount of his previous paymeni it and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a siegle payment, three ➢,ears, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even LS former amount; and by this system he can at all times regulate bl 5 annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the b argain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as t ri a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest fur his money, and in case of death his family receive more than The amount 01 his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do uo finch thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled th e moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any and to fly to for aid, all his hall-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benedt 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 o. assurance which can be universally recognised and adonted when the princires are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It co nfers greater advantages than a b because it (Mows 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 ease of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A RANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSUANC COMPANY. In case of endowment mssa ß rances E the advantages of the nuosx P9stem are still more striking. AD Y.ASTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LI ASSURANCE BRANCH.

ISLINGTON ALBION, This annual match was played at the Northampton Arms Ground, Islington, on Monday, and proved one of those contests which will find a place in the list of " matches extraordinary." Unlike many matches of the present day, this was played without an infusion of paid players. The game was, as it were, run away with by the Surrey Club ; for whilst the Albion gained 39 only in their first innings, the Surrey ran up a score of 175 ; but in their second innings the former was getting on much better, for when " time" was called they had obtained 37 runs, with the loss of four wickets only.

Sir,--Considering the increasing importance of the subject of manning the navy, doubtless greatly aug mented by the warlike aspect of affairs in the East, I venture to offer a few observations thereon. lam fur ther induced so to do by having read some letters in the morning papers purporting to be from "A Vice- Admiral," "A Retired Captain," and Captain Fitzroy, R.N., during the last twelve months. Manning the navy has engrossed no small share of public attention— an additional proof that the navy is the popular service of the country. With all its abuses, it is still regarded as the national arm of defence, and the gratitude of the country is eminently due to the press for its exertions in the good cause, and the energy it has displayed in bringing such abuses to light. The safety and dignity of Great Britain depends on the efficiency of her naval power. Is it then, a crime to be alive to certain evils which still exist, and, by ex posing them, to be inst rumen t a l i n t h e i r a b o li t i on ? These very evils have cost the country some thousands of fine fellows, who would otherwise have been proudly treading the decks of our ships at Spithead and else where. Is it not grievous to reflect that such a fleet should be rendered ineffective through want of men to man it, when there are yet good men and true in the country unemployed. "The gist of the letter of your correspondent,_ "A Vice-Admiral," i s t o ma k e us b e li eve that the naval ser vice is the acme of perfection—that, forsooth, because the general discipline of 1853 is less tyrannical than was that of 1830, the service and the country are to be tongue-tied, and rest satisfied. Now, sir, I maintain that the improvement during the above period, great as it is, is in no way commensurate With the improvement in the moral character and gene ral habits of the seamen, and still leaves the Admiralty considerably in debt. Yes ; and the order to square yards must issue from head-quarters, e'er Jack regards the service with favour. Circumstances that would for merly have passed unnoticed, are now narrowly scruti nised by the men ; and the evils that still exist must be rooted out before the project of a standing navy, by permanent and continuous service, can be satisfactorily carried out. " The letter ofAdmiral " not onlyde aiounces discussion on the subject, but goes so fa r as to assert that the sole object of the writers on naval mat ters is to degrade the servi ce i n the opinion of the sea men. If the gallant offi cer can really be seriou s , permit me to ask what has produced the reforms of which he boasts Did they emanate f rom the humanity of the 'quarter-deck ? Are they the fruits of the gratuitous re commendations of officers themselves, or is their source not to be traced to public opinion expressed through their legitimate organ, the press ? I assert, without qualification, that all has been effected by this means. It is no light matter to charge all those men who have written on this subject with a desire to create discontent in and dislike to the service ; however, the admiral has thrown down the gauntlet, and to must be prepared to The Meeting then resolved itself into a Special General Meeting, to take into consideration certain amendments in the Cost•book— JOSEPH Tuompsort, Esq., in the Chair. It was resolvrd— " That the amended rules of the Cost-book now read be adopted as the rules and regulations of the Adventure, subject to the confir mation of the nest General Meeting of the Shareholders."

[PRICE SD. cope with an array of correspondents whose name is legion. Captain Fitzroy, in defending the use of the cat, contends that the infliction of corporal punishment is the most painful part of the duty of a commanding officer. Admitting it to be so in some instances, it is nevertheless notorious that the wholesale use of the cat for trivial offences aroused the feelings of the people of this country ; and in consequence of what took place in the House of Commons on several occasions, the authorities were obliged to interfere. One commanding officer thought it so painful a part of his duty, that he declared every man should kiss the grating before the ship was paid off ; and, with one or two exceptions, he kept his word, flogging almost under the acb niral's nose, until ordered to cease punish ment and. drop astern. May I ask Captain Fizroy what assurances we have that the like shall not occur again ? Try a captain for tyranny, and he is honourably ac quitted—in some instances followed by the honour of knighthood. The public have taken up the cause of our seamen, and instructions, of a more liberal tendency have been already issued for the guidance of officers ; but until the infamous Articles of War—that wretched specimen of injustice— are remodelled, and punishment by the cat limited to certain offences, and the law laid down in unambiguous terms, there ever will be occasional abuse of power. The diminution of this description of punishment is not a proof that the officers are more humane than formerly. I have already explained whence it is to be attributed. The practice had become a matter of reproach to a na tion which boasted of free institutions, the country pro nounced its judgment, and the authorities, in conse quence, felt it their duty to discountenance it ; but, sir, until we have a better guarantee for fair play and a whole skin than mere circulars, and until seamen have the bona fide protection of the law, the greatest distrust will continue to prevail as to the future. I am ready to, admit that considerable improvement have taken place alio in the temper and disposition of officers generally, as compared with times gone by ; but the human heart is prone to err, and it is ever difficult to guard oneself against the use of unlimitedpower. As a diseased sheep will infect a flock, even so will one tyrannical oflicer and one unhappy ship affect the feel ings and disgust the minds of a whole squadron. It is to guard against this, by far the greatest evil in the naval service, that men are contending, that the press issues her daily warnings and denunciations ; yes, and with one common object in view —viz., the interests and well-being of of the naval profession. Methinks, the time of these gallant officers had been better spent in turning their professional talents to the compilation of a new naval code, suitable to the wants of the times ; but, mark, on this subject the trio are all but silent. No one, in fact, dares to defend them, and yet they are suffered to remain in full force—possibly to sleep for a time only. The seamen are perfectly acquainted with everything that takes place relating to themselves, and are well qualified to judge of the advantage and disadvantage of the navy, as compared with the merchant and foreign services. I am not contending for the total abolition of the punishment of flogging in the navy. I believe, also, that the seam en , as a b o d y, do not desire it ; but ' they do desire, and have a right to demand, that it shall be applied only in extreme cases. What would be thought of a magistrate who sentenced a man to receive 36 lashes, or 324 stripes, for a certain offence for which another awarded a week's imprison ment only l And yet the inequality of punishments awarded to similar offences is even greater than this, as "A Vice-Admiral" an d as C apta i n Fitzroy well know. Many men have been flogged for made crimes ; others flogged to ensure their good behaviour on the morrow ; at any rate, the majority of the officers and the entire ship's company have been at a loss to ascertain the real cause. With the recollection of such instances fresh in the minds of hundreds, it is necessary that some measure should be introduced in which the men could place con fidence. Let this be done, and still further increase the pay of A B's—Sir James's last being still too low—and I for one shall be happy to congratulate " A Vice Admiral" on the condition of his then noble profession. In the hope that you will find space in your excellent paper for this, I fear, too long letter, permit me to i remain, sir, your obedient servant, B. N. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Jinx 13. THE SPITHEAD FLEET. A great and well-grounded cause of complaint among all classes in the fleet exists in the fact of there being no steam-tender attached to it to bring them to and fro safely and free of expense, and this want has been more keenly felt since two officers and two nten have lost their lives in consequence of the inefficiency of the means em ployed to rejoin their ships in foul weather. The Royal yacht Fairy, Master-Commander Welch, returned from Holyhead at 8 o'clock last night. She left Plymouth at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. It is expected she will be required for the service of the Court in a day or two. The Victoria and Albert, Captain Crispin, returned from Holyhead this evening, and came into harbour. The Sphynx, 6 steam-sloop, Captain Hillyar, was in spected and her crew mustered this morning by the Port Admiral, and Captain Chads, C.B„ of the Excel lent, put the m en th roug h t h e great-gun drill, &c., after which she discharged her powder, and came into har bour to dismantle and be paid off. Her crew have been in commission barely three years and a-half, and, now they have become efficient seamen, will be turned adrift. The Queen Charlotte, 104, hauled out of the fitting basin to-day ready to return to " ordinary." The masts and spars of the Grampus, 50, have been got out, and are to be sent to Pembroke for the pur pose of jury-rigging the Cresar, 91, new screw line-of battle ship, which is to be brought to this port to be fitted for commission. The Sprightly steam-tender embarked a party of do vernment officials this morning from the town sallypoit, and left with them for the westward. We believe they were an Ordnance party about to inspect the fortificia tions on the Dorset coast. WOOLWICH, JULY 13.. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenants.—Charles G.

GLOUCESTER, Wednesday. —This being the first public exhibition day, an immense accession to the temporary population of Gloucester took place, and the three rail way companies having put on extra trains for the ac commodation of visitors, the stations were crowded with throngs of travellers throughout the day, and the cal? and omnibus proprietors took the opportunity offered to them of reaping a golden harvest. All the omnibuses and cabs that could be secured from the adjacent towns were retained, and fares were doubled, the proprietorS having the conscience to demand five shillings for a cab from the station to the exhibition—distance a mile and a half. The implement yard was opened to the public at seven o'clock this morning, and many chose an ear l y h our for visiting this department, in preference to waiting until it became more crowded. Thenumber ofstands ofimplements was 121, occupying two-thirds of th e ex hib ition space, and presenting a magnificent il lustration of the s pi r it , energy, skill, and enterprise of the p resent day. The greatest a d m i ra ti on a nd surprise expressed generally by the visi tors, and many pe rsons who had attended these great gatherings from the first period of their establishment, pronounced that this wa s not one of the best, but the very best, collection of agricultural impleme n t s an d machines ever brought together. Among the most prominent names of the exhibitors were Garrett and Sons, of Lerston Ironworks, near Saxmunden, Suffolk ; Hussey, of Baltimore, the original inventor of the American reaping machine ; Smith, of Kettering, Northamptonshire ; Cresskill, of B ever l ey ; R ansomes and Sims, o f Ipswich ; Dray and Co., of Swan-lane, Lon don-bridge ; Batley, of Northampton ; Rev. S. Smith of Lois Weedon, Towcester, who exhibited a set of imple ments for the purpose of i l lustrating the agriculture of Lois Weedon ; Winton, of Dove Mills, Birmingham ; Smith and Ashby, of Stamford ; Vick, saddler, of Gloucester, who showed some improved gearing and fastenings, which were sent to the Great Exhibtion; Hornsby and Sons, of Grantham, Lincolnshire; Mapp lebat and Lowe, of Birmingham ; Cambridge, of the Bristol Iron Works; Gillam, of Woodstock, who hal a remarkably clever seed cleaner; Bell, of Scotland; Burges s and Key, of 103, Newgate-street, London; Samuelson, of Banbury ; Barrett, Ex 9.11, and Andrews, of Banbury ; Cartwright, of Si , rewsbury; Fowler and Fry, of Bristol ; Ferrubee, of the Phcenix Iron Works, Stroud ; Har man, of Gloucester; James, of Cheltenham ; Hill, of the Brierly-hill Iron-works, Tipton, near Dudley ; Parsons and Clyburn of West Lambourn, Somerset; Taxford and Sons, Boston ; Webb, of Gloucester ; Adams, of Oldbury, near Birmingham ; Gibson, Newcastle-on- Tyne ; and, in the seal department, Chivers, of Chester, the introducer of the orange jelly tarnip, showed . samples of hi s f amous t urn i p - seed for late planting, and securing a crop after wheat harvest. His sheds are occupied with se e d s , an d some b eau tif u l b o t anic al speci mens of grass are ranged in these sheds. Catalogues of all the implements in the yard were sold on the spot, and the exhibitors were found very ready to giv e i nqu i rers every information relative to the articles which they exhibited at their stands. About 3,000 persons had visited the exhibition up to four o'clock. The show yard was open until six in the evening. The New York stock market was firm, with an upward tendency for Government stocks. Ex change on London was quoted firm at 1091 to 2 ; Paris, 515 to 515-1 ; Amsterdam, 41 t o 411 ; Bre men, 79/ to 791. Cotton steady, sales for the week 13,600 bales. Coffee, demand light, at full prices. Flour was in good demand for export, and the grain market active, but the supply was on the increase. Metals firm and in good request. Rico heavy. Sugar in moderate demand. The active inquiry for tobacco continued, upwards of 1,400 hogsheads of Kentucky having changed hands at advanced prices on speculation ; a speculative de mand for manufactured had also sprung up. The advance in the price of teas was well maintained. For wool the demand had slightly improved. In freights, wheat had been shipped to Liverpool to a considerable extent at Sid. in ships' bags ; flour at ls. 9d. ; tobacco, 17s. 6d. to 20s. per hogshead ; cotton, 5-32 d. ; grain, in bulk, sd. ; flour to Lon don, 2s. ; cotton to Havre, 3s. Bd. BRAZIL AND THE RIVER PLATE. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The royal mail steam-ship Tay, Captain Revett, has arrived with the usual Brazil and Rio La Plata mails, and dates from Buenos Ayres June 2 ; Mon tevideo, 5 ' • Rio de Janeiro, 14 ; Bahia, 18 ; Per nambuco, 21 ; St. Vince n t, Cape de Verd, 29 ; Teneriffe, July 4 ; Madeira, 6 ; and Lisbon, 9. The Tay brings 137 passengers to Southampton, and has landed 51 at Lisbon, and on freight four bags cochineal, 41 serons ipecacuanha, 215 half chests lemons, and sundry merchandise. From Buenos Ayres there is nothing very new. The army of General Urquiza had neither advanced nor retreated. Blockade by the squadron was con stituted, and this rendered provisions gradually scarcer. In fact, to starve the city now seems to be his object. Our letters contain the following :—We continue besieged by land and blockaded by water, altogether in a deplorable, but not by any means a desperate state. The besiegers decidedly lose ground, and Urquiza, with his Gauchos an d t h e old cut-throats of Rosas, neither dares to make an as sault, nor will they await a general action when Gen. Paz is ready, as we think he will soon be, to go out and attack them. The sally would probably have taken place on the night of the 27th and the morning of the 28th ult., had not a heavy rain un toi nelcogu r epn r e e er d r a . el e nh at.d un fortunarely interrupted the operations, and ren dered the roads unfit for the purpose for several days. The weather has since been fine, and we are now in expectation of a decisive movement. As to the blockade, we refer to the published corre spondence, and need only add that the British authorities are in as bad odour with the natives as their own countrymen. We still think that the mock blockade must be abandoned ; if so, a number of foreigners will undoubtedly take up settle matters in a different way. There is nothing/. arms and to be known from the negotiations of mediation, but the actual Government is firmly seated, public confidence buoyant, the National Guards decided, and the regular troops and foreign legions conduct themselves bravely.

In coffee the supply from the interior had been trifling. Exchange was firm at 29d., discounts 9 to 12 per cent.

Lines, arrived off Cowes at 2 p.m. to-day, and after landing the English passengers and mails proceeded on her voyage to Havre. The Humboldt left New York on the 2d inst. She brings on freight specie value $900,000, in American gold, a portion of which is for London, and 191 passengers, among whom are Messrs. A. Borg, Charles Pillschody, and Julius Aroni, bearers of dispatches respectively to France, Switzerland, and Prussia. The Africa arrived out on the 30th ult., The Humboldt left at anchor, ready for sea, the ships Mercury, for Havre, and Robert Kelly, for Liverpool. Passed at Sandy Hook, ship Isaac Webb, for Liverpool ; July 4, lat. 42.10, long. 62.40, saw American ships Westmoreland and Java, bound west.

Dates from Havannalc are to the 22d of June. The correspondent of the New York Herald writes : "There is a tremendous p an i c among the slavetrader7, Julian Zulueta, th e i r recognised chief, was arrested yes terday morning, and i s at this moment taking his coffee is Canedopreciselythe ew w s e a e n k i s e igam enthe cwhic hastle wasof t the aCyaebdabnya General This ago, when, after Antonio C a p o b ad comfortably effected the landing of about 1,100 slaves near Cardenas, Messrs. Suaznavar and the other owners of that expedition were arrested and confined for a few days in their own houses at Matanzas, and then set at liberty, receiving back, as a sort of compensation for the little inconvenience they may have been put to by being compelled to stay at home for a short time, the 300 slaves which had been seized by order of General Canedo, but which were now commanded by his Excellency to be returned to their original owners, under the name of Emancipados, a de scription of servitude a thousand times worse than any slavery. "Of course you are well aware that the natives of Cuba have long since set their hearts against the intro duction of more slavery from Africa, an that the pro motion of the diabolical traffic is-altogether confined to the actual traders, who are generally a ' set of low Spaniards, principally from the province of Cataluna, and the needy officials who are sent out from Spain to better their ruined fortunes. These few worthless wretches have the business entirely in their own hands. " The clamours of the people here, but, above all, the threatening tone assumed in The Times of the 25th and 31st of May, following so soon upon the recent warnings in the New Ye,* Herald, is really the cause which has induced Canedo to arrest the chief of the slavetraders and owner of the Lady Suffolk, Julian Zulueta. But I hope you will point out that this step was not taken by his Excellency General Canedo until after the arrival of the European mail per Empire City on the 19th inst., notwithstanding that long previously all the circumstances connected with the arrival and dis embarkation of slaves from the Lady Suffolk and the other vessels was as notorious as the sun at noonday, and was, and is still, the common topic of conversation at every place of public resort in this city. In the mean time, until the public indignation is appeased, Mr. Zu lueta has very comfortable lodgings in the airy and coal castle of the Cabana—Tacon's Palace (the gaol) was not good enough for such a respectable individual ; besides he is very rich—where he has his servants, and every luxury he may require, allowed. Ile is under no restraint whatever, being permitted to promenade, whenever he thinks proper, the whole length o f th at vast fort. His intimate friends—Forcade, Sama, Barris, &c.—visit him at all hours, and, as I have known it to be the practice in similar cases where plenty of money has been at com mand, I would not at all be surprised were I to encounter any evening after dark Mr. Zulueta, the supposed pri soner, taking his drive th r o ug h the streets of Havan nab." .4 1 / 1 1171, uly 29 uly 13 ug. 4 uly 31 ily 26 --•-''''''' tiltoo , enan 6 •ifo of Ver• pton• , late Barre Y , Gadf Peter Re' filled Col' glie,
