`:4l-711 1 . ty' , _'. -.;. NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY. OFFICE, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON. • Capital 500,0001. Empowered by Act of Parliainent The system of Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by the Na tional Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, for the better advance nrient of the objects of Benefit and Friendly Societies, having received the approbation of a considerable body c f the active members and officers of those Institutions, and the Directors of the Natioual Loan Fund Society having been urgently solicited by them to establish a Branch 0111ce in connexion with those Societies and the Operative Classes generally, in which e'neir services might be successfully en gaged, a Committee has ODMmunleation with 'he 'oeen sanctioxed by the Directors to open different Societies, with the view of more ag et us lly d ssemini4i ng the valuable benefits amengst the Indus ! dons classes, era a plan has been eroposed with that object. • ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE. Many r - —a ,aealieWorthy but ineffectual attempts have been made to bring '.etthin the scope and operation of the laws of mot tality and Morey the savings of the Indust nous clasees, as well as various cal- Vsdations regulatiag their distributon, having for their idect either immediate, contingent, or del; treddeneits. la slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con etrnetion of these ass, ciatioes or societies is defective; and that in stead of affording an easy access and a free choice of investment, 'which should be the privilege of every one, they confine too liar- Xowly the channel thremeh which a benefit can alane be secured; and, in proportion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed, their utility is limited. For example, it is not to every individuel, 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 pecuniary sacrifice ; whfe to others such a provision appears more 'attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness Is a risk :against which they desire to be gnarled. Fur this anemalous state of things there is an effective and simple remedy : that Is to say, instead of covering, by one weekly oteennual payment. two or snore seontingent or deferred benefits, so to at mime it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. It is to not having observed this rule, and to the ass- elation of two dissimilar funations, and by confounding a sick allowance and an annuity fund in one and the selt•-same payment, that much of the 'evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst lleaerit Societies. No mechanism can be so perfect for the management of a sick - 'ress-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso ciation and watchfulness of the several members composing it By thle means a thorough and constant check is mutually • xereised, and •xione but the really sick are likely to become ehar•geable upon it. But the same perfection, or the same se iurity, is seldom attainable' where a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where results are to bear oat calculations, money investment being in general beyond the experience of the industrious classes. For these reasons it. is clear that the fends destined for a provision in sickness should be 'kept entirely distinct Irons the f ind intended as a provision for old age :- Ist Beestiase the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently connected, do not depend on the same calculation. 2d. tecause 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. Iht. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old age, corittened to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and indivelual irre sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of each a contract, that when undertaken on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial bodie . 4th. Because the expenses of providing for Maness must, when malted In the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi nish still mnre this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en danger! the one for the sake of the other. Impressed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing . • Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here antto 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 additional force to the prificip'es of brotherhood, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding them from the ricks of sudden dissolution. After much diligent search anion:at the combinations ingeniously proposed from 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 a and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan Proposed by the National Losn Fund Life Assurance Society. It is tent that the author of that plan has furnished 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 part of the plan itself, without being fully sa'isted that the conveivences.. and safety of Friendly and Benefit 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 Band. who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to them for the establishment of a separate oltce for the transaction of business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in dustrious classes in general, resolutions have been entered into, con stituting the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its number, for the promelgation of the benefits contained in the an nexed prospectus, under the guarantee of the Capital of the Society, and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected With the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection to Pee working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to the present day has adequately secured to them. • Themes Burthom, P.C.R., ancient Order of Foresters.

THE souTs-raNsTraas sCHEIVIES. Mr. MacGreg or ' s cross - ' minati;m was resumed by Mr. Talbot, but his e v id ence ia - Id remained unshaken in the least degr e e. At t h e l ast ling, he said, the company rid a dividend at the rate of 0-4)er cent. per annum, and he en tertained the hope that ere tong the line would 3.ield 10 per cent. Under his own management the traffic had consider ably increased, and the lines now before the Committee were absolutely necessary for the accommodation ef the public. .alr. ?d'Gregor was also cross-examined by several Learned Gentlemen, who represent cdoPposing landowners, but it was stated, that the company were quite ready. to make fair and liberal arrangements with all parties whose property would be injured by the lines. On re - examination, Mr. Mac Gregor stated that he based his hope that the concern would eventually return la per dent. upon the expectation that the Committee would concede the lines under discussion. Mr. T. B. Fern, to r col" 't,o to the South - Eastern Com pany, proved that so fur hacless 1834 the company pro jected lines similar to those before the Committee, but the opposition of the landhol&rs led to their abandon ment, and eventually the company was forced to adopt their present circuitous route.

A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the defects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Worthawi, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from liarlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair eon tinted to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAA OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has new to ho st of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which prasents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact seeaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. ROWLAND'S MACASiAIt OIL preserves ard reproduces the Hair ; prevents It fr ,m falling off or turning Grcy ; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour; frees it from Scurf and Dandriff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly. _ Beware of "spurious compounds" under the title of "MA CASSAR OIL," some under the " implied" sanction of Roy&ty and he Government Departments, with similar attempts at deception. ROWLAND'S MACASS 1R OIL Is sold by the proprietors, at 20, HATTON-GARDEN LONDON, and all respectable Chemists and Perfumers.

SCOTCH EXCHANGE BANKS. The following circular, which has lately been in course of transmission by one of the scotch Exchange B anks continue receive to solicitors and others in the diff ere nt towns in the north, will account for much of the support which the share markets (in that part of the kingdom at least ) to are paid. It will be seen that not only are deposits , and for the means b y which calls in vited at 5 per cent. interest, but that a commission (the amount of which is not stated, and which it may be in ferred is a matter of conscience and arrangement) is allowed in to such professional gentlemen as may be suc cessfulpersuading their clients to place their mone y at the disposal of th e i ns titution. Under. these circum stances, management and profit, it would appear that the rate charged to the cus tomers of the bank can scarcely in any case be less than 7or 8 per cent.--a fact which, ta ken in con j unction with the implied circumstance that the securities advanced upon are of the " best descri p tion, would indicate a degree of pressure in th e north be y ond anything we have hidierto been aware of, As a large proportion of these advances are made, it is to be presumed, upon shares of incomplete lines, which at the best pay no more than 4 or 5 per cent. to the holders, it becomes an impor:ant question how long these parties will think it advisable to, pay the extra rate charged by the bank, rather than to , hat the bank contemplate no speedy raiseamelioration i s money by selling some part of what the y posst.ss,. 5 eyi. denced by the fact that the com mission to the p.roies sional gentlemen is allowed only up on their negcanating deposits " likely to remain for some years, or at all events for not less than twelve months." It would also be interesting to learn the precise quality of the securi ties received by the institution, and also the margin pro vided for depreciation, although It is fair to remark that this is a point which the bank is in some measure en titled to keep toitself, since the t, mptation held out in the shape of guarantee to depositors is not so much the soli dity of the pledges upon which its advances are made as " the capital of the company, and the number and wealth of its partners." " Commercial Exchange Company, 66, St. Vincent-street, Glasgow, March 9. " Dear Sir, —I beg leave to inform you that the direc tors f this company have come to a resolution to ad vance the rate of interest allowed on deposits to five This will he intimated by circular to each depositor, n but I beg leave to trou ble y o u with this specia l an nouncement. ." The demand for money in our market still continues so ample on the best securities, thatalthough no advance is contemplated on the fixed rate at which all loans granted by the company a re ch arged, the directors are thus willing to allow to th e d epositors the full advantage of the present rise in the value of money. " In thus advancing the rate of interest paid by the company without any corresponding advance in the rate charged, there is an evident present loss of profit to the shareholders. But I hope and believe that this liberal policy will so increase the number of the company's customers and the amount of their transactions, that ulti mately the shareholders will be greater gainers than if the directors had pursued an opposite policy. g u: ll h :a as can be invested means in your power to make it yknownou will among take every yo u fri : e ‘ n l d s s h a a n ll d , therefore, clients tha t b , e fo o r bl s i for any considerable length of time, they may obtain an interest of 5 per cent. per annum, while th e i r s ecurity is beyond all question, mot only from the capital of the company, but from the number and wealth o f its partners. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, " G. KINNEAR, Manager.

W. P. Richards, Esq.; occupied the chair. The SECRETARY read the advertisement an 3 the re port, from which we extract the following paragraphs:— " In laying before the proprietors the statement of the proceedings of the company during the last half year, and of its position and prospects for the future, the directors have to report that the portion of the line be tween Bruges and Thourout was completed on the 14th September last, and opened on -the 6th October. The line has since been opened a short distance further to I;chtervdde, making in all iv length of fourteen miles nuw opened. The directors, whilst using every exertion to open the first short section of the line, had reason to expect that a further length would very speedily have followed; in this, however, they were • disappointed. The winter, %%Lich set in in Flanders with unusual severity on the 6th Decem'r , er, and continued with no available inter mission until the first werk of March,' necessarily sus pended the works of the bridge over the Lys at Courtrai as well as the brickwork on all other parts of the line. Considerable progress, however,. had been made pre viouily, and the piers of the Lys bridge carried up above the water level. The unfinished works suffered no in jury from the severe weather, and the whole are now ,advancing rapidly towards completion. The frost also materially interfered with all the earthworks, so as to make it impossible to complete the line to Courtrai by Christmas, as had been expected at the date of the last half-yearly report. " Proceeding onwards from Lichterveld.e, great pro gress has been made in the direction of Routers, distant 51 miles. This section, it is expected, will be coin- E.leted within a week. The population of Rouhrs is about 11,000. " Between Roulers and the towns of Iseghem and In gelmunster the works are nearly finished, and be tween the latter town and Courtrai they are in a forward state. The earthworks, with the exception of one cut ting in Lendelede, about 500 yards in length, and a maximum depth of 18 feet, are almost entirely on the surface, and the reports of the engineer and contractors lead the directors'uonfidently to expect, that this further section, which will complete the communication between the State lines, will be ready. for traffic by the end of 'June. The works on the Lys 11 cidge at Courtrai form the measure in time for the whole ." With reference to the traffic to be obtained on these lines, and the consequent success of the undertaking, the opinion of the directors remains unaltered. The calculations on which the prospects of returns were in the first instance based, were made out in 1845 from data derived. from the existing traffic , at.d other statistical details. These calculations received material corroboration from the work of M. Desart, published in March, 1846. Reference was made to this work in the last report of the directors, and it was then shown, that, assuming the principles of M. Desert to be applicable to West Flundcrs, as he had shown them to be to the dis tricts traversed by the State lines, the traffic case of the West Flanders lines would be made our, to the full extent of the anticipations. " Without, therfure, drawing hasty conclusions from the partial experience on the line opened, the directors consider themselve borne cut in stating, that the indica tions thus far lead to the conclusion that the average re ceipts obtained on tie State lines (in 1846 they were 1,6131. per mile) will be realised on those of %Vest Flan ders. During the year 1845 the receipts on the Govan meat lines produced a profit of 4i per cent. on an outlay of 17,5001. per mile, and it appears that in 1846 the profit amounted to 4t per cent. on that cost ;—it is clear that the West Flanders lines will not cost one half of the above sum per mile, and, if so, it necessarily follows that en an equal receipt the dividend will be double that of the State lines. " The directors do not anticipate this result hnme diately on the opening of the line—time will be required for the development of the goods traffic especially; but the directors entertain no doubt that the amounts above indicated will at no distant period be realised." The balance-sheet, made up . to Dec. 31, 1846, exhibits a balance at the banker's and in 'investments of 73,998/. 17s. 11d., the receipts having been 288,5941. 175., and the expenditure 204,5951. 19s. Id. The CHAIRMAN said, that•although less progress had been made than was anticipated, yet enough had been shown to give some idea of.the cost of construction and the expected traffic. They had not yet been enabled to ascertain-,what the cost of management would be, and on these_three things did the success of a railway de pend. The opening of the line from Bruges to Thourout gave them excellent data on which to .found an idea of t cost of construction of the whole line. The distance r, as 114 miles, which involved a total cost of 67,477/., or hn average amount of 5,750/. per mile. This was üb.mt the cost of the Belgian lines.; and the activity already manifested in that portion of the line which was opemd was quite k-qual to the activity upon she State lines. Ile did not think they were too sanguine, therrf)re, in anti cipating a double profit to that which resulted from the Belgian railways. At Thourout they met with the first impediment; for, in the first place, a ditferenct; arose between themselves and the Minister of Public Works, which led to some correspondence, and of course delayed in some degree the progress of the works. Then they had to meet the increased demands of the landlords, who supposed that time was of that first importance to them; that they would submit to any thing in order to avoid delay. He was happy to say that this impediment was got over, and that they were new, if possible, in a better position than they were before. They had had also a very severe winter to con tend against. The Chairman then paid a well-merited compliment to Mr. Desert for his ingenious principle of testing the expected traffic between towns. The prin ciple on which that gentleman founded his earculations was, that the traffic between any two towns was in the direct-ratio of their, populations, and varied inversely as the distance between them.. That gentleman had, by analysis of the entire returns, been able to establish a number to represent every distance from one mile and a quarter to above 150 miles. The Chairman concluded by calling on Mr. Cubitt to state the present'position of the works, &c.: . Mr. CUBITT recapitulated at great length the state ments adverted to in the rcport. Mr. DISNEY moved that the report be received. Mr. Casa seconded the motion. In answer to several questions, _ _ The CHAIRMAN stated the expense from Bruges to Courtrai would be under 6,0001. per mile. The stations were very modest things, and only adapted to single lines. When the next call should be made the company would have a surplus sum after finishing the line to Courtrai. A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. DORCHESTER AND SOUTHAMP- TON RAILWAY. A special general meeting of the company was held on Satnr lay, at the Terminus, Nine Elms, for the purposeof obtaining the sft, coon of the proprietors, according to the late Act, for the several Bills which the company now have before Parliament ; Lord de Manley in the chair. _ _ The Bills comprised one for making en alteration of the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, including a Deviation and Branches to Lywington and Eling ; another for a Branch to Blandford ; a third for a Branch to Weymouth from More , on, and a fourth to enable the South-Western Company to subscribe to wards the capital of the Southampton and Dorchester Company. he advertisement convening the meeting having been read, Mr. CAMPBELL, the Secretary of the London' and Southampton Railway, read the preambles of the Bills, and stated the substance of the several clauses, the effect of which in all the Bills was nearly similar, giving the usual powers to lease the line, take tolls, and to make such other regulations as might render them conformable to the general Act and in unison with the Acts pre viously obtained by the two companies chiefly interested. All the Bills were unanimously approved. The Bills having be( n pas!e The CHAIRMAN stated that he had been informed by the engineer that the whole of the line would be open to inspection on the Ist of May. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting was dissolved. THE COLONIAL BISHOPRICS. The Committee for arranging the appointment of Co lonisl Bishoprics assembled on Thursday evening, and it was definitively arranged that the following clergymen should be nominated to the headship of the newly-formed sees, three being in Australia, and the fourth in the Cape of Good Hope:- 1. Diocese of Melbourne, for the district of Port Philip, New South Wales.—The Rev. Charles Perry, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge. 2. Diocese of Newcastle, northern counties of New South Wales. —The Rev. William Tyrrell, M.A., Saint John's College, Cambridge. 3. Diocese of Adelaide, South Australia.—The Rev.

They were of the ash leaf kidney hind, planted on the 6th of January; and were perre,elly free from disease " Thz Duke Corchiano, a descendant of the Princely House of Santa Croce, died at Rome in the early part of the month, at an advanced age. DEATH OF THE DUCHESS (DOWAGER) OF MON mosE.—We have to record the demise of the Duchess (Dow ager) of Montrose, who diction the 24th instant, at her villa, near Richmond, aged'savetiq-seven. The deceased, Lady Caroline Maria Montagu, was -1 he eldest daughter and only surviving issue of George, fourth Duke of Manchester, and was consequsutly aunt to the present holder of that title. In 1790 she married James, third Duke of Montrose, who had been previously married to LadyJimima Ashburnham, and by his Grace, who died in 1836, had issue seven children, in eluditv he 'present Duke, the late Countess of Winchiliea, and the ' Countess Fowls. The and Duchess of Mon trose, who had been staying for some time back at Brighton, have returned to Belgrave-square. PRITCF SD. LICENSING MEETING. The adjourned general licensing meeting for the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields division, was held on Saturday. The magistrates present were, Lord Mon ford (chairman), Mr. Graliam„Mr. Welsby. In the case of an application made by Mr. Ireland for a license for a house situate in • Northumberland-street, to he called the Northumberland Tavern, Mr. Ballantine appeared in favour of the application ; Mr. D. W. Wire appeared in opposition. Evidence was given of the due service of . the notices required by the Act. The applicant in this csse, it appeared, carried on business as a retaibtr of beer and a purveyor of ham and beef sandwiches, and was also a clerk and collector at Mitchell's Scotch ale stores, Hungerford-market. The application was presented signed by nearly 100 persons. Petitions were presented praying the Court not to grant the license, from persons residing in Northumber land-street, from the agent of the Duke of Northumber land, from other persons in the neighbourhood, and from the body of licensed victuallers, on the ground that the wants of the distri t were amply supplied by public houses already. - Also a petition signed by a number of persons who had -previously signed a petition in favour of the applicant, setting forth that their names had been obtained by misrepresentation, and praying the Court to refuse the license. Mr. D. W. WIRE then proceeded to argue that there was no public necessity for this additional licensed house. The house was situated at the corner of a narrow thoroughfare, of not more than 5 feet in width ; the house was not more than 106 feet from a house already licensed, known as the Northumberland Arms, and at ab.,ut the same distance from the Ship and Shovel, a house which had been well conducted by the present pro prietor for the last twenty-fiveyears, and a filch afforded ample accommodation, by means of a commodious tap. room and parlour, for the wants of the customers visiting that house. lie felt quite satisfied that the Court would not, in a quiet and retired neighbourhood of this sort, grant a license to a house that was not in the slightest degree called for. It might be said by his Learned Friend that there was a great traffic through this narrow thoroughfare, but he apprehended that that was not sufficient to induce the Court to grant a license to the applicant. From the ex perience which that Court had had in matters of this kind, he felt assured that they would refuse the license in the present ease. It did not at all follow, that because the applicant had obtained a good trade as a retailer of beer, and a purveyor of ham and beef sandwiches, that therefore it was a fit and proper house to be jiceused as a tavern. He might be an industrious and interprising person, but it might happen that by .ranting this license the Court would be only addin: another.to the list of those distressing cases wh ., were so often brought before the Court as incapab from want of ne cessary support, to meet the de • ,nds made upon them. Ile hoped, therefore, that the C • rt would in the present instance feel it their duty to use the license. Mr. ROCHE, the clerk to he magistrates, said that a letter had been received •y Sir J. Marshall, the landlord of the house, prayi._ the, magistrates not to grant the license. Mr. BALIANTINE, upon this, handed in a letter from that gentle'man, withdrawing his letter and recommend ing the-applicant to the favourable consideration of the Cottr(. The Learned Counsel then, on behalf of the applicant, contended that this house, if licensed, would afford accommodation of a nature very much needed, not only in that district itself, but throughout the whole of the metropeis—a house that would afford the greatest possible accommodation at the least possible-cost to a respectable class of people, such as those who resided in the neighbourhood. With respect to the Ship and Shovel, it could not for a moment be contended that-li censing this house could affect the interests of the pro prietor, who had conducted it for the last twenty-five years in a most respectable and creditable manner. That house was principally used by persons connected with Hun-, gerford-market. And with respect to the Northumber land Arms, that was a house principally used by barge men, coalheavers, and other persons connected with - the wharfs along the river. This house, if licensed, would not, therefore, in the slightest degree affect the interests of that place. The room was then ordered to be cleared. Upon the re-admission of the parties we were informed that the magistrates had decided upon refusing the license. License refused accordingly. Several other applications were disposed of, and the Court adjourned. ~ t ~. AMICABLE ASSEMBLIES. The last for the season of these brilliant reunions took place in the large room of the London Tavern on Friday evening, when about three hundred of the elite were assembled. The present is the eleventh season of the society, which is connected with the Literary Institu tion, Aldersgate street, and is one of its most attractive 'branches. The arrangements for the supper were liberal. The greatest praise is due to the stewards, Messrs. Br;tter, jun., Harris, Fryer, Singer, and Bar nard. For everything appertaining to the due regula tion or such a select society the Amicable Assembly is decidedly a model. Mr. Adams' baud was in attendance, and daicing was kept up to a late, or rather early, hour in the morning. SANATORY REFORM. A public meeting of the Liberties of Westminster Sanatory Association was held on Friday evening, at the Western - Literary Institution, Leicester-square; the Right Hon. Lord Ashley in the chair. The attendance was not very large. The CIIAIRMAN said that it gave him great pleasure to meet those assembled on the present occasion, who had for their object the improvement of the physical condition of the people, and through the improvement of the physical condition of the people, the improvement of their mental condition. Whatever facts could be adduced on this question could only go to show the false principles upon which they had hitherto proceeded. When they considered how large a portion of the popu• lation was affected by this question, it was sufficient to invest the question with importance. Throughout the metropolis they found a want of ventilation, and this want was well known to be the cause of want of health. He considered that the want of attention to subjects like the present was one of the greatest impediments to human improvement that existed.. It was well known the effects which the noxi ous influences which were at present permitted to exist, without any control or any attempt at prevention, were injurious not only to human life, but even to the pe cuniary condition of the community. The circumstances to which he alluded were attest, d ley the physician in their natural effects ; but there was a higher considera tion, namely, that of the eternal welfare of the community To prove the injurious effects of what they all depre cated they had only to consult the ministers of religion, who could testify to the depraving effects of the present system. He believed there was no greater evil to the human race than habits of intemperance. But he had no doubt these very habits were induced by the perni cious atmosphere in which a large portion of the population resided, which bad a tendency to produce lassitude and depression, which called for that immediate stimulus which they could obtain. He did not mean to say that the working classes of England alone had habits of intemperance peculiar, but it it ex isted to a greater extent than in any other classes, it was owing to circumstances among which there was none more powerful than the wrist of ventilation, which, as he had already stated, was calculated- to produce in temperance. He thought that, under these circum stances, nothing could better deserve the attention of the public or the interference of the Legislature than the question they had assembled to promote. Dr.Ausis moved the following resolution:— " That, in order to promote the physical and moral condition of the people, the meeting concurs in the ne cessity of the entire removal of cesspools, and a general introduction of water-closets, sewers, and drains, com bined with an ample supply of water at all seasons, at as high a pressure as shall be found practicable and ne cessary, and that the health and social comforts of all classes would be improved by the daily cleansing of all streets, courts, yards, and alleys." Mr. COCHRANE seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Dr. GUY moved the following' resolution:— " That in consequence of the deficiency of light and proper ventilation in the habitations of the poorer classes, as well as in all workshops and factories, this meeting believes it to be highly necessary for the improvement of the physical condition of the people that these important subjects should form a portion of any saratory measure to be introduced into Parliament." Mr. JOHN MARSHALL seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Dr. BRISDONE moved, and Mr. WALKER seconded, the following resolution, which was carried unani mously : " That, for the promotion of public health and de cency, the meeting urgently recommends the introduc tion of public, or gratuitous water-closets, for the ac commodation of the poor, the promotion of baths and washhouses, and the abolition of interments in towns." Thanks were voted to, and acknowledged by the Noble Chairman, after which the meeting separated.

From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was blind, but generally enjoyed good health. Oa Monday afternoon last she was engaged at the wash-tub, when she suddenly fell to the grothad, as if from a fit. The landlady's son, who happened to be in the room, ran to her aid, and raised her up, but she was quite insen sible. Mr. Smyth, of Lambeth-walk, surgeon, was called in, but she never rallied, and died shortly afterwards, from an attack of apoplexy, most probably resulting from over ex citement in her domestic duties. The jury returned a verdict of " Death from natural causes." - . .

Tlie following intelligence from Monte_ Video was posted.yesterday in the Underwriters' RCOMS, Liverpool. It came vin Falmouth, by the Danish brig Margarita which has arrived there:— s 2 MONTE VIDEO, JAN. 29.---Adactiodwas &tight on the 26th inst. between Rivera's forces and a division of General Oribe's troops, which resulted in the total defeat of the former, who is said to have arrived at Maldonado with 200 cr 300 followers only. The towns of Paysander, Mercedes, and Las Vascas have fallen into the hands of General Oribe's troops-:. but Colonia, which is garrisoned by British and French marines, still remains to this Government. EXTRACTS OF LETTERS RECEIVED FROM THE BITER PLATE, PER MARGARITA. BUENOS AYRES, JAN. 14, 1817.—The Gazelle of this day contains some account of the proceedings at Pay sandu, of General Rivera and the French, and if any thing was wanting to sink the latter to the lowest point of publie opinion in these countries, their conduct at Paysandu has sufficiently effected it. There is absolutely nothing stirring here; the tran quillity which prevails is really astonishing, es foreigners do not disguise their opinion against this Government, and most of them are interested in the purchase of the Custom-house revenues at Monte Video, by which means the war in these countries has been prolonged at least since the month of May la=t. BUENOS AYRES. JAN. 19.—We are very glad to hear of the arrival of Mr. Hood. We anxiously await fur.. they details, to which, as you may believe, we attach the great, at importance. There is nothing of interest stirring here. Shipments of produce continue to run through the blockade. By advices received from Colonia this morning, from which place a number of passengers have arrived, -it appears that the whole country south of the Rio Negro is, since the defeat of Colonel Flores, on the Ist. instant, in the undisputed possession of General Oribe, except the fortified towns on the coast, which may be said to be defended by French vessels of war ; for we believe the English have received orders on no account to act in open hostility. An attempt has been made at Monte Video to get up another convoy for the Parana, which was flatly negatived by Sir Thomas Herbert, the object being to release the British barque Holyhood, and the - French brig Courier de la Seine la femur, detained at Corrientes by the late friends of the Ministers, the Government of that province. Sir Thomas Herbert, it is stated, justly observes, that the French can bombard towns on their own account with out his cognizance, and lately tired upwards of seventy shots on the besieging forces at Colonic. They may therefore send a convoy up if they please, as there is no necessity for his being consulted, and if they do one thing without his knowledge, why not do the other ? You many depend that without the interposition, or rather the opposition of Sir Thomas, the convoy would have been carried into effect. We regret, at the same time, to inform you that it is rumoured in Monte Video, that by the Dolphin, the Commodore has asked for his recal, giving as a reason that he cannot act with his colleagues in a satis factory manner. We hope this may not prove true, for if he leaves us fire and sword will be our portion. Nothing further has been leen learnt here from Entre Riosor Paysandu, nor at Monte Video up to the 16th inst., but by dates from the latter place it appears that the rumours which have been in circulation here for some days past, of an insurrection or mutiny of the Basgne troops with Rivera, are confirmed, and it is stated that these worthies have taken possession of Paysancift on their own account; they will, doubtless, shortly ask for the protection of their country, to extend their views through the whole of the Banda Oriental. We have before written you on the subject of the French protectorate being claimed by th -? Monte Video party. We are daily noire convinced thereof, and hope that our Government will not deceive themselves longer, but take measures to - prevent tho commencement of such a state of things while it is yet time to do so. BUENOS AYRES, JAN. 20 —Advices have been received here of the arrival at Rio Janeiro of her Majesty's brig Mutine from England, with dates to the Ist of December, stating that the British Government had ratified Mr. Hood's convention, as desired by this Government, and that the blockade would be raised immediately. Dou bloons closed to-day at 310 dolls. to 311 dolls. MONTE VIDEO, JAN. 26.—We are now in the re ceipt of advices from England to the sth of December inclusive. We shall indeed be disappointed if Messrs. Ouseley 'Saud Deffaudis are to have the settlement of this ques tion, being satisfied they will do all they can to thwart an arrangement, whilst, on the other hand, we fear Ge neral Rosas will decline any propositions coming through them. We cannot understand the object or such policy on the part of the Governments of England and France. MONTE VIDEO, JAN. 27.—Our advices from Buenos Ayres are to the 22d instant. It was the opinion there that General Rosas would not decline an arrangement with the present Ministers, and that that port , would in in consequence soon be opened. Doubloons, 311 dolls. A salute has been fired from General Oribe's camp this morning, said to be in celebration of the skirLat of Rivera near Maldonado. Rumours are cur W -of a change of Ministry here. It is said that Vasquez will be appointed to the Foreign Office. We have also heard it stated that Pacheco y Obes will be sent for from Rio, to fill the War Department, but we are not inclined to believe it. MONTE VIDEO, JAN. 29.—The accompanying bulletin will inform you of the defeat of Rivera, and we beg yon reference to the Defensor newspaper of the 26th for de tails of the Salto afiiiir. 'We have no time to comment on these documents, but we hear that Rivera had reached Maldonado with thirty or forty followers. " DEFEAT OF RIVERA.—BULLETIN No. 133.

She carried away her main yard, and used her maintopsail for a mainsail until the yard was fished. The storm was succeeded by severe lightning. The increased ballast has caused the Recruit to sail better; but in consequence of the malconstruction of her rudder she still steers badly, and occasionally throws the man over the wheel.
