A sum far more than equal to the vane of the policies is invested in the public securities, in the names o: the trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. was added to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by - merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

A PRETTY LITTLE GAME FOR PRETTY LITTLE LORDS OF THE ADMIALALTY.—An amusing game is that of building ships, and seeing whether they will float. You must first get some oak timber and knock it into shape any how, till it begins to look something like a tub. Then take your ship to the seaside and see if it will float ; but if it will not, you must take it out of the water and pull it to pieces again, and begin making a fresh ship. Do this until it does not sink. W hen this is the case, you can begin putting in your guns; but, if it should roll over, which is very probable, you had better carry away your ship before it goes to the bottom, and pull it to pieces again, and patch it, and con struct it on quite a new plan ; but if, after all, it does nothing but roll over, you had better put it aside for fire wood, and lose no more time about getting some more oak timber, and begin building another ship. The most amusing game, however, is to build some four or five ships at the same time, as like one another as two eggs, and to launch them all together. It is great fun to watch them in the water. One will pitch, the other will toss; one will roll, and another will do nothing at all but show a strong desire, like a stone, to go to the bottom. This sport is very diverting. and nt ver tires, no matter how often you may repeat it. You may play at this game as often as you like, for you can come to no harm in trying the experiments, as you do not go in the ships yourselves, andnhgavliseh nation n g to pay pays for al.— forthem aulse ment.

(From the Delhi Gazette, March 17.) The interest which attaches to the fate of the son of Dost Mahomed .Khan has induced us to be a little more prolix than usual in our translation of the letter last re ceived from Caubul, and which brings intelligence to the 9th February, commencing with the 29th of January. On this day a person came i n great haste to the durbar about ten o ' clock, to inform the Ameer that Nawab Ma homed Zuman Khan was suffering much from violent pain in his stcmach, and was vomiting blood. A secona message was soon atter brought from Sonja-ood-llowlah, stating that his father was very ill, and was very anxious to see the Ameer before his death, which he was confi dent was approaching. His Highness immediately broke up the durbar, and proceeded to the house of Nawab, but before he could reach it he received intelligence to the effect that the good old chief had expired. The Ameer immediately gave orders for the arrangement of the funeral ceremonies, which being carried out, the body was, on the same day, committed to the grave, large sums being bestowed in alms on the occasion. After this the Ameer went to console the sons of the departed Nawab, declaring that his death was as much a source of sorrow to him as it could possibly be to them. It was agreed further, that as the Wuzeer was himself reported to be very sick, and this news might have an unfavourable effect on him, a proclamation should be issued prohibiting any mention of it being made in letters sent to the camp of the Wuzeer. On the 30th January the Ameer, attended by a large retinue, went to the house of Nawab Sooja ood-llowlah to read the Futehah, and the whole town was mourning the death of Zuman Khan, every mouth being full of his praises. A hurkaru arrived this day from Gundamuk, and brought news that the troops of Wuzeer Mahomed; Akbar Khan had destroyed all the forts in the neighbourhood of that place belonging to the Mamakhel people, carried away all the wood that was moveable, burnt what they could not remove, and plundered the whole of the property of the inhabitants. It was also stated that the Wuzeer had determined on building a cantonment at Gundamuk, where troops were to be permanently located for the protection of travellers. The Ameer again went, on the 31st of January, being the third after the death of the Nawab, to the house of Sonja-ood-Dowlah,+ and performed the ceremonies usual on the occasion, which lasted till past mid-day. On his return to the palace the Ameer held a private consulta tion with Meer Ilajee Saheb, at which the cause of the death of the Nawab was taken into consideration, many people having openly expressed their belief that he had been poisoned. On the following day the Ameer de puted to his sons, Sirdars Afzul Khan and Amram Khan, the duty of presiding at the durbar, pleading sickness as the cause of his own absence. He was said to have received intelligence regarding the proceedings of Mahomed Shah Khan, Ghilzaie, which had added to his annoyance. Heavy rain and snow are reported to have fallen on this day. On the following day a letter came from the Wuzeer's camp, praying that all the shoe and boot-makers (Moze-doz) in Caubul might be col lected to prepare boots for the use of his troops, whom he was about to lead against some forts high up the mountains, where snow was still lying deeply. A feud broke out about the same time amongst the sons of Nawab Zuman Khan, in consequence of his having ne glected to dispose of his property by will previous to his death, and they called upon the Ameer to decide between them. On the 3d of February news came in that the Wuzeer had made all his preparations for attacking the remaining forts of the Ghilaaies, notwithstanding that the people had come to offer the most favourable terms. The troops had, in anticipation of the operations, moved to Amoorkee-khel. On the 4th of the same month the Ameer directed a letter to be addressed to Mahomed Shah Khan, Ghilattie, reproaching him with his conduct, which had induced him to abandon the camp of the Wuzeer at the time that be was most wanted. He re ceived a long letter from Abd-00l Azeez Khan and other chiefs of the Ghilzaies, inquiring what crime s th e y h a d committed, since the late accommodation, that should have induced the Wuzeer to make war upon them and their people in the frightful manner which he had com menced on ? The Ameer replied that if the Chief would submit terms for his consideration they should be forwarded, if reasonable, to the Wuzeer, with instruc tions to discontinue his operations. The son of Nawab Mahomed Zuman Khan, being instigated thereto by some malicious people, brought an accusation against Ahdoollah, the Kashmeeree steward of their father, of having been the instrument of his death. Letters were sent on the 6th of February, summoning Sirdars Haider Khan and Ameen Khan, sons of the Ameer, to Caubul, with all the haste they could make. Oa the following day intelligence was received that the Wuzeer, having again moved from his late encampment, had gone against Bala bagh, and allowed his soldiers to commit the most horrible acts of depredation. A durbar was held on the 7th, at which a rumour which was spread during the night, that a number of the Ghilzaies had attacked and de feated the Wuzeer, was discussed with much anxiety. Sirdar Haider Khan, who had only just arrived from Ghuznee, immediately set out for Gundamuk with a few attendants, and he had scarcely left when a hurkaru arrived bringing full particulars of the battle which had taken place, from which it appeared that the Wuzeer had in reality been victorious, having anticipated the attack of the tribes, killed many of them, taking others prisoners (some of whom he put to death after they had surrendered), and plundered every article of their pro perty within reach. Snow having fallen immediately after the battle, the Wuzeer returned to his old encamp went at Gundamuk, and was reported by the hurkaru to have suffered much from the exertions he bad made, while a private letter given to the Ameer caused a great change in his manner. This was attributed to authentic accounts of the state of the Wuzeer's health, regarding whom it became generally rumoured that he had be come suddenly so much worse that he had been obliged to leave Gundamuk for Jellalabad. This gave rise to a renewed suspicion of his having been poisoned in the same manner as Nawab Zuman Khan. On the 9th of February, the last date of our correspon dent's letter, the whole of Caubul is represented to;have been in a state of almost breathless anxiety as to the fate of Mahomed Akbar Khan, some of the inhabitants being instigated by fear and most more by hope, while the Ameer, attended by various members of his Court and the high priest, went to the several shrines to offer up prayers for the recovery of the Wuzeer. While so engaged, a horseman, who had quitted the camp of the Wuzeer at Lughman, came into the town, and had no sooner delivered his bud ge t t o th e Ameer than a rumour immediately spread that the Wuzeer was dead, and the news is said to have afforded satisfaction to a large pro portion of the population, especially to the Kuzzulbashes. The general impression was that he had been poisoned, and our news writer, being satisfied of the authenticity of the intelligence, thought it best to send off his letters at once instead of waiting for further particulars, which he promises in his next communication, and for which we will now w a it b e f ore g i v i ng our sketch of the de ceased Wuzeer's life. Our Peshawur letter brings intelligence down to the 16th of February. It opens with an account of the pre parations of all kinds made to do honour on his arrival to Major Lawrence, of the summons sent to all the neighbouring Chiefs to present themselves on the occa sion, and the daily reviews which were gone through to bring the troops into order. The streets were ordered to be cleaned thoroughly, as also the various bazaars, and new clothes were issued to the greater part of the soldiery. On the 12th of February authentic in telligence was conveyed to the Governor, Sirdar Aopar Singh, that Sirdar Peer Mahomed, who had with Saeed Mahomed Khan come to Peshawur to be present at the entry of Major Lawrence, had received accounts during the previous night of the death of his nephew, Mahomed Akbar Khan, and that both the Barukzaie Chiefs had immediately expressed their determination of quitting the town with the intention of going to Husht nuggur. Allowing that the news must have travelled to Caubul more rapidly than to Peshawar, and have gut there in about 18 or 20 hours, we may safely cal culate that the death of the Wuzeer occurred on the Bth of February. THE PUNJAUB. The chief intelligence we have within the last fort night received from beyond the Sutlej is mainly impor tant as corrective of past misimpressions. The appre hension of danger in these quarters from the unstable nature of our arrangements, and insurrections and em barrassments of which the policy of Lord Hardinge pro vided the seeds, are one alter another shown to have been utterly without foundation as the time arrives which permits the facts of the case to be given to the world. The great patriotic outburst, as the Cashmere insurrection was supposed to be, which was to involve us in countless dangers, and broils and troubles, turned out to be a mere local and temporary outbreak, of no moment whatever, arising from the treachery and personal spite of the Vizier ' who, inciting a Chief to trea son with a vi ew o f k ee pi ng Ghoolab Singh from the ter ritories made over to him, became himself the victim of machinations designed for the injury of the enemy. The people, supposed to revolt at the idea of being brought under the dominion of a Seikh, had in fact been ao for the space of thirty years, and were only now transferred from one Seikh to another, and never seem to have ex. pressed or experienced the slightest aversion to the change. These are now long past; they had their time and have been succeeded by further misconceptions, which have given rise to apprehensions as vague, and speculations as unfound e d, as those which -preceded them. The state of th e li azareh country, where diffi culties and dangers as visionary as those supposed to en compass us in connexion with Cashmere were said t o await us, became o ne o f t h e next subject s of speculation. It turns out that Lieutenant Lumsden, instead of being sent forth to make war, has been ordered on a mission of peace. The Hazarehs had r isen, ' not against Ghoolab Singh, to wh ose authority the s h e ad been subjected, but against the Lah ore Seikhs These they have expelled orn the hills and s h ut up in the fort of Hurkishengur, which was on the point of capitulating in April last, when relieved by a strong reinforcement from the Lahore Government just before the new arrangement was concluded with the Jamoo chief. Lieutenant Lumsden was sent to smooth down past differences and to reconcile the hill .men to their enemies, and not either to make war or to subjugate them to the will of their new ruler, to which no aversion had been expressed by them. He nit, &islet then been followed by Mr. P. Vans Agnew on the same errand, and the mission has every prospect of being attended with success. Were the Government of 1 G hoolab Singh as indifferent and unpopular as it is re presented to be, it would be difficult for it to be worse than the best of those which have preceded it. The Hill Maharaja is remorseless and avaricious enough, but he is not one whit more so than the great majority of his brother chiefs. Since our connexion with him we have had no reason to charge him with indulging in any of the infirmities usually imputed to him as habitual. On the other hand, he has at our suggestion emptied his dungeons of state prisoners, restored hundreds of estates that had been seized upon, set his face against the burning of widows, and abolished infanticide throughout his dominions. This wapstmaoirteerthatnwewnetycoyueldarspeorsfuathdee Runjeet Singh to attem closest alliance with him, or than the bulk of the Go vernments in the very bosom of our dominions have in the space of' centuries been induced to perform. The perfect freedom of the Queen to move about at her pleasure has in no way been interfered with, though she has been on some occasions denied the company of her son when about to proceed on pretended pilgrimagsl, suspected to hale objects very different from those acknowledged in view. The Maha raja is hiatselt, on all occasiot s, i rcouraged to appear in public, and is now constantly Losbteeasdeeonf oivi„ n i h( g )rs i e n b , t i h ck e amongst his chiefs and people, seclusion to which be was formerly condemned. The durbar has not been forbidden to assemble on the Sab bath day ; it was intimated that on this day British officers would not visit, receive visits, or transact busi ness, except on occasions of extreme emerg my ; and the Seikhs having asked whether they might not add it to the Lumber of their holidays, were told to do just as they pleased, —to consider it as one by all means, if not satisfied with the number already observed. The festi vities alleged to have been held in the Shalimar gardens on the anniversary of the battle of Sobraon, and with a view to commemorating our victories, occurred on an other day altogether, and had no object of the sort in view! Colonel Lawrence in all these matters having invariably acted with the consideration and thought fulness for which he is so deservedly distinguished. The most cordial footing continues to be main tained betwixt us and our new allies, notwithstand ing the intrigues of the Maharanee to interrupt the harmony which exists. The Resident gave a splendid entertainment on the 4th ult., the second of the season. Some one hundred and eighty, ladies and officers, sat down to luncheon, and dancing commenced as twilight set in. Every apprehension of danger from the Seikhs has now departed from the minds -of even the most steady-going alarmists. It had been recommended that an English tutor should be provided for the young Maharaja; the Resident was averse to the measure, on the ground of its being likely to alarm the Seikhs with the idea that it might be our purpose to convert the fu ture ruler from Paganism —or, more probably, that we might so imbue him with our views as that he should be come a puppet in our hands. There is no fear that un der the administration of Colonel Lawrence a matter so important will be neglected, or that Dhuleep Singh will not have most carefully _imparted to him all the instruc tion circumstances permit of or require. The state of the finances of the Punjaub had attracted serious atten tion, and their condition, as might have been expected, proved to be such that the most stringent system of re trenchment and economy was found indispensable. It is on these grounds, as is alleged, that Colonel Steinbach has been refused re-admission into the Seikh army, surd the services of Colonel Cortlandt declined. It must, at the same time, be remembered, that one of the condi tions of the treaty of February, 1846, was to the effect that no European or American officers should ever be admitted into the armies of the Punjaub; and that whatever may be the pretence under which these things have occurred, we must in consistency have en deavoured to get rid of Europeans formerly, or still in the service, as speedily as possible. Efforts have been made to settle, by comprise, as quickly as possible, the misunderstanding s with the landowners in the distant provinces, chiefly arising from revenue disputes. The accounts of Futteh Khan, Tawanah, apparently a sort of Vice Chancellor of the Exchequer, were said to be in great confusion ; he acknowledged a debt to Government of about 30,0001., but was found to owe them more than 70,0002 He had been placed under surveillance pending the inquiry into his affairs. The very talk of plots and conspiracies —where such things in reality were wont to be so abundant—is nearly at an end; and the rumour, that the life of Tej Singh wits about to have been attempted on the 10th of February, is now affirmed to have originated with that chief him self, who by this means desired to bring his supposed enemies into discredit! The good effects of the policy we are pursuing are every where becoming apparent. The general feeling of security, now becoming universal, is manifesting itself in the improvements of trade, at present unusually brisk, and the exhibition of productive industry, for a long time sadly dormant. Cotton as well as grain are finding their way in large quantities from our side across the river--a single merchant is said to have exported betwixt 800 and 900 camel loads; and to this auspicious result the various wise and liberal mea sures of the Governor-General within our own domi nions have greatly conduced. Various of our allies have been induced to abolish transit duties within their terri tories. Well defined and natural lines of traffic, within which commerce shall be harassed by no fiscal impost, have been laid down along our Custom-house frontier:; and the Saugor and Nerbuddah territories have been altogether relieved of duties. The following summary, which will scarcely stand abridgement, will sho w at a g l ance w h at i s doing in the Celestial Empire:— The follov;ing summary of events in the colony of Victoria during February we copy from the Overland Friend of China of the 28th of that month: In reviewing the occurrences of the month our atten tion is at once attracted to the improved position of our countrymen resident in Canton, and we glean an im portant it em o f i ntelligence in the fact that the protec tion of their lives and property has at length been deemed a duty of sufficient importance to demand the presence of three vessels of war in the Canton river. The Hon. Company's steamer Pluto has been stationed off the factories since the .sth inst., her Majesty's brig Childers and her Majesty's steamer Vulture being at Whampoa; the latter vessel has returned to the harbour. The necessity for this extraordinary force might have been suggested in consequence of the Chinese New-year holidays bringing to the city an extra slumber of villains ripe for plunder, and burning for vengeance on the foreigners. No kind of riot, however, has occurred ; an unusual tranquillity at present exists, without any likelihood of its being much dis turbed, although no freedom from insult and violence can be relied on in any of the frequented walks and thoroughfares. It has no doubt been determined that the Pluto shall be permanently stationed off the factories, and from the length of time the Childers has been at Whampoa we presume that is to be considered her station. It is a satisfactory reflection that such scenes as occurred in July last, when one successful assault of the mob might have led to a general massacre of the foreigners, and the plunder and destruction of their houses, and innocent men are said to have been amongst the killed, are never again likely to occur; for so far as an unguided mob is concerned, unassisted by respect able natives, the constant presence of a small vessel of war will be quite sufficient to keep them in subjection. In our last summary we alluded to a petition from the Chinese shopkeepers to the Governor, praying for the abolition of the opium farm monopoly. As was to be expected, their petition was most unfavourably received, the answer, which was almost tantamount to an ac knowledgment of its baneful influence on the commerce of the island, being to the effect that the revenue de rivable from the enactment could not be dispensed with. The effects of Sir John Davis's misgovernment are every month becoming more and more apparent; n th e worst p redictions have such been a to s o tat t e ru t l h y at realised , itisdif an d the colony is a t present l foretel what may be the effects of future retrogression. _ In proof of the falling state of the colony a coFre uspnodnedneianbtleaddinucetsheifrouinrtfee fourteen facts, U nfowhriteuhnaarteal y certainly is no no occasion to signalise any one fact, when from east to west of the island almost every object that meets the view only reminds the observer of the lamentable condi tion of the colony, our splendid harbour itself, so bare of shipping, being a convincing proof of the absence of anything like commercial activity • but, too fully aw are of these facts, w e wou ld rather direct attention to the interrogation, " How can a share of prosperity be brought back to the colony?" We tear that this question will not have due weight, even amongst those most deeply interested in the discussion, so long as its destiny is overcast by the lowering incumbency of such a ruler— the want of confidence in whore, arising out of many causes, (as an instance of one we might mention the re cent denouement in the Supreme Court), would alone preo elude that co-operation of the principal inh a bitan ts aience so indispensable to ensure any good re s ult , d apathy which exists. THE SCOTTISH 110SPITAL.—Wedne;day the Spring festival of this ancient and excellent charity was celebrated ü b n y d a er h p t ub e lic pr d e i s n i n demy er at tohfehSistarGarnacdeGtahretevr Hotel, Richmond, R l i i c o h n m tr o o n se d : I'he company, though not so numerous as we have had the pleasureto meet on previous celebrations at the L on d on iavern was highly respectable. Among the . visitors Cum ming, e Colonel More, M.P. , Colonel Tinling, the Rev. Dr. • T Coates, Mr. Maxwell, Secretary of the Royal Highland Society, Mr. E. Scud, Mr. M. B oy d , Mr. Henderson, &c. After the usual complimentary toasts, the Chairman, i n proposing " Prosperity to th e Scottish Hospital," expa tiated on the national importance of an institution which, in the absence of all legal claim to h parochial relief, whad ministered to Scot c h men taken by tempo rary di stress in oth over happened to be over e tune assistance as o f ten enabled them , metropolis, such oppor degradation of paup er i sm, to . with ou t i ncurr i ng t h e resume a positi on o f respectabrilti4i.evaeu d useful u c ln ircumstances and of society. It was much to be regretted se thates s washemreasembfousr merly the governors had been enabled to fund some of the money contributed to the society in the shape ofdonations and legacies, its income last year was not equal to the expen diture. Independently of the annuities given to pensioners, relief has been administered to more than 300 poor persons every month ; on the average to 4,000 in the course of the year. The deficit, occasioned partly no doubt by the peculiar pressure of the present season, amounted to nearly six hundred pounds. He trusted the patriotism and generosity of Scotchmen would not allow this arrear to remain an incubus on the society's operations ; but that by augmenting its resources they would extend the sphere of its most useful and beneficent operations. The secretary then announced a subscription of upwards of 4001. —including the Queen, 105/. ; the Queen Dowager, 521. 10s; the Duke of Sutherland, half yearly, 601.; the Duke of Montrose, 21/. ; the Duke of Cambridge, 10/. ; Mr. Cosmo Orme, 21/. • the Earl of Roseb er y, 161 . 16 s. ; M r.
