LON DON, WEDNESDAY EVENING S N N ATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY. OFFICE, 26, CORNBILL, LONDON. Capital 500,0001. Empowered by Act of Parliament. The system of Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by the Na tional Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, for the better advance ment of the objects of Benefit and Friendly Societies, having received the approbation of a considerable body of the active mesobe , s and officers of those Institutions, and the Directors of the National Loan Fund Society having been urgently solicited by them to establish a Branch Office in connexion with the societies amid the Operative Classes generally, ht which their services might he successfully en gaged, a Committee has been sanetiesed by the Directors to open communication with the different S;cidies, with the view of more tffeetually d sseminating the valuable benefits amongst the indus trious classes, and a pla I has been ,roposed with that object. ADDREgS OF THE COMMITTEE. - • Many praiseworthy hut ineffectual :attempts have been made to bring within 'IC scope and operation of the laws of mot tallty and money the savings of the industrious classes, as n - ell as various cal culations regulating their distribution, having for their object either immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con struction of these associations or societies is defective; and that In stead of affording an easy access and a fres choice of investment, whiel• should be the privilege of every one, they confine too nar rowly the •*.annel through which a benefit can alone be secured ; and, in proper:ion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed, their utility Is limited. For example, it is not to every individual or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision In case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a pecnniary sacrifice ; Wili:C 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 guarded. Fur this anomalous state of things there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, Instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or snore contingent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. It is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of two dissimilar functions, 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 Benefit Societies. No mechanism can be so perfect for the management of a sick; ness-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso ciation anti watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check Is mutually exercised, and none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it. But the-same perfection, or the same security, is seldom attainable where a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years, anti 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 fluids destined for a provision in sickness should be kept entirely distinct from the fund intended as a provision for old age :- Ist Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently connected, do not depend on the same calculation. 2d. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a larger provision in old age are wilting to take the risk of providing for probable sickness on themselves. 3d. Because - the iesponsibility of managing a provision for old age, continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and indiv:dual irre sponsibility, and more exposed t• a failure in the performance of such a contract , that when undertaketa on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial Isodie;.. • 4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when limited in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi- Dish still more this provision: nor 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 unto attached, have had several meetings, with a view of proposing or adopting a remedy for those and other evils ; and in this manner to give an actlitional force to the principles of brotherhood, unity, and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding them from the risks of sudden dissolution. After much diligent search anfon,st 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 and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan proposed by the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. It is true that the author of that plan has flunished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex pediency et abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can react the other part of the plan itself, - without being fully sa.isfied that the convenience 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 Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to them for the establishment of a separate °Mee 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 promulgation 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 institutiun of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to the present day has adequately secured to them.

SOUTH AFRICAN ABORIGINES—TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and A BABY, of the BOSIIEMAN or BUSH TRIBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could never before be induced to visit a place of civilization. This oppor tunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology has only been obtained by great personal exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to England, at un immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby wan horn at sea, titus adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance. (Front Moffatt, the )lissionar) 's Work on Southern Africa, page 53.) " Poor Bushman'. Thy hand has been against every ono, and every one's hand against thee. For gen..rations past they have bees hunted like partridges in the mountains. Deprived of what nature had made their own, they became desperate, wild, fierce, and indo mltable in their habits. Hunger compels them to feed upon every thing edible. Ixias, wild garlic, mysembry anthirnams, the core of aloes, gum of acarias, aed other plants and berries, some of which are extremei'y unwholeKime, constitute their twits; whilst almost every kind of living creature is eagerly devoured, lizards, locusts, and grasshoppers not excepted. The poisonous as well• as Irmo:dons serpents they roast and cat. They carefully extract their bags or reservoirs of poison, with which they cover the Points of their arrows."

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 11. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the Laan CHIEF BARON and Middlesex Special Juries.) TILE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. Howl% This was an information filed by the Attorney-General against the defendant, charging him upon several counts, which varied the offence, with conniving at a fraudulent de livery of sugars, without the payment of duty. The Attorney and Solicitor-General, with whom were Mr. Watson and Mr. Wilde, appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Pivot for the defendant. Mr. Henry Goodyer and Mr. Den; and were examined at some length as to the course of routine business with refer ence to the payment of duty on goods at the Custom-house. Mr. J. Richardson, a superintendent of lockers at the Cus tom-house, stated that the defendant was a locker in the Cutler-street warehouse in 1846. Thesignaturo to the warrant produced is in the handwriting of the.defendant. A locker's order would warrant the delivery of the goods mentioned in the order. Such an order ought to be en tered by the locker in a book, after comparing it with the dock-warrant, to see if they tallied. In the lockers' book there is a sort of charge upon the one side, and a discharge upon the other. Cross-examined by Mr. Ptacer—Cannot say how I,ng Mr. Flower has been in the department. Believes that he has been there several years. The locker-box is open during the day, and every body has access to it. The order is brought by the proper messenger in a tin case. Witness has .seen them brought without the tin case. The locker is 'sometimes absent from his desk, in which case he would go to the other locker to give it to him. It might sometimes happen that a slight clerical error might creep into these orders. If a locker is absent for a day, the other locker would attend to his business for him, but would sign his own name to the war rant. A silk-locker might sign a locker's order for sugar. The orders are not kept 'carelessly; but he remembers that Roves complained of their being kept carelessly. He had a lock placed on the order box at his own expense. The locker's order-box is like a sentry-box, so that two people can sit in them. The orders are kept in pigeon-holes there, and quite open. It sometimes happens that from the press of business, the entry into the book by the locker might be deferred for a day or two. The locker's order may some times be deficient in the mark of the goods. It might some times happen that on the warrant and the locker's order, the number of the goods is omitted. IVitness has been 3.5 years in the department. The defendant has sometimes complained to witness that the number of his orders have been incorrect. If too great a number was men tioned on the order—to extend to more goods than were in dock, the mistake would be at once discovered, but it not some goods would be released without the payment of duty. Goods are never delivered without the payment of duty. The order might come unsigned by the controller, but they would be immediately returned. The defendant always sent back his orders to have such errors rectified. By the ATTORNEY- GENERAL Witness had acted as a landing waiter. The dock warrants are made out by the company. It is the duty of the locker to compare the locker's order with the dock warrant, and if he finds any error or difference between them he ought not to sign the order. Mr. Henry Palmer, a delivery foreman in the service of the Dock Company. His signature on the back of the war rant produced shows that he delivered the goods as men tioned in the warrant. The date is the 28th of August. The signature of the defendant is at the bottom of the war rant. The signature of Howes is witness's authority for letting the goods go—that is, as far as the Custom-house is concerned. By Mr. PtaoT—Howe did not attend to the delivery of the goods. Has no doubt whatever about the signature Should act upon it at once. Mr. Richardson recalled—The book produced is Mr. Howe's lock-book. ➢lr. Dugard recalled—Knows the book produced. Has examined the book carefully, and finds no entry of the thirty bags of sugar mentioned in the warrant. It was the duty of the locker to enter the order in the book. Has searched among the ship papers for the duty paid warrant, but found no such document. Searched for the same purpose in the warrant and landing books, and in the register, but found no entry with regard to these goods. If things had been re gular these thirty bags of sugar would have been mentioned in all these books. Cross. examined.—There are several entries of several quan tities of sugar from the same ship as those thirty bags were taken from, approaching pretty nearly in number. If an error of thirty bags had by any means crept in, the error would be discovered. For all these entries from the Flora found the regular warrant; but none for the thirty bags. ➢lr. Goodyer re-called, stated that he had carefully ex amined all the documents which ought to have contained the entry of the payment. The ATroxiNEY•GEYERAL then went into similar evidence upon twelve other warrants, in which frauds were alleged to have been committed. Mr. PIGOT addressed the jury for the defendant at con siderable length, and submitted that the evidence adducedon behalf of the Crown, went to establish omission and errors only, as had prevailed notoriously in other departments of the Custom House. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied; and, the jury found a verdict for the Crown, with penalties in the sum of 7521., which the law triples after the finding. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. COUNTY OF ORKNEY AND SIIETLA.ND.—The small constituency of this remote county appear to be about to set an example of independence which will form a bril liant contrast to the subserviePey to aristocratic in fluence exhibited by the electoral bodies of some wealthier and more populous counties nearer home— West Gloucestershire. for instrnce. The family of Dundas, of Aske, in Yorkshire, the head or which was in- 1848 raised by the Whig Administration to the dignity of Earl of Zetland, possesses extensire property and influence in the Orkney - and' Shetland islands, and has for generations exercised the power of nominating the representative in Parliament for the county which these two groups of islands form. The people now seem determined to throw ofi the yoke of this family domina tion, and, with that view, have started, some time since, a candidate for the representation of these islands in the next Parliament, in the person of Mr. Arthur Anderson, a native of the islands, in opposition to the pr.•sent mem ber, Mr. Frederick I)undas, cousin of Lord Z !tland. Mr. Anderson is a Reformer and Free-trader. Nonwieu.—Arrangements are making by the leaders of the Whig interest for the nomination of two candi• dates for the western division ; and the names of the Hon. E. Coke, Sir W. Folkes, Mr. B. Gurdon, and .%[r. A. Hamond were mentioned as the gentlemen from whom the selection would be made. A meeting for a similar purpose was held of the Tory party, at which, we have heard that Sir Willoughby Jones and Mr. Bcntinck, a relation of the Noble Member for Lynn, were proposed, and the name of Mr. Styleman L'Estrange has also been mentioned, should Mr. 8a.,•-ge and Mr. Chute decline again to offer themselves. Oo Sa'urday last a requisi tion was sent to the Hon. F-Iward Ceske, the second son of their late representative, and to Mr. Hamond, of Westacre, both of whom have issued addresses consent ing to become candidates at the coming election.—Nor wick Mercury. Hoesuam.—Mr. J. Jervis, who, we b lieve, is a son of Sir J. Jervis, the Attorney-General, has issued an address to the electors of the borough of Horsham, offering himself as a candidate for their suffrages.— Surrey Standard. NEWPORT.—The Hon. A.'Court Holmes having for mally announced his intuition to withdraw from Parlia ment at its approaching dissolution, Mr. Simeon and Mr. Fleming have declared themselves candidates for the honour of succeeding him as the representative of the Isle of Wight.— Hampshire Telegraph. NORTU DURFIAM.—Mr. Hed orth Larnbton purposes retiring from the representation of this division, on ac count of ill health. Colonel Beckwith has issued an address, declaring himself a candidate for the division. A sharp contest is certain.—Nczecastie Journal. PORTSMOUTII.—WO have heard that Mr. Sergeant Gazalee and Nathaniel Griffin, Esq., of the Northern Circuit, are to be brought forward in opposition to the present Members. We have also beard that the first named gentleman rather hesitates in h:s course, and that conariuesitlya gentleman holding a high office in the municipality is to be put forward as the colleague of Mr. Griffin, upon anti-State aid educational principles.— Hampshire Independent. WAKEFIELD.—No final arrangement is yet made to supply the vacancy that will be created at the next elec tion in the representation of the borough of Wakefield by the resignation of Mr. Lascelles, but it is understood that both Mr. Daniel Gaskell and Mr. Ilolemorth have declined the honour of being put in nomination, rather on private than on public grounds.—Leeds Mercury. KNARESIIOROUGIL—A strong contest is anticipated for the borough of Knaresborough at the approaching elec tion. The new candidates will be the Hon. W. S. Las celles and J. P. Westhead, Esq., the extensive Manches ter manufacturer, both of whom stand on the Liberal interest, and Mr. Lawson and Mr. Busfeild Ferrand, as Conservatives.—Leeds Mercury. CA.MDRIDGE.—A requisition is about to be presented to Lord George Manners by the Conservative electors of Cambridge, soliciting his Lordship to allow himself to be put in nomination as one of the representatives of the county and the Isle of Ely at the next opportunity, on the principles of attachment to the constitution in Church and State, and protection to British industry.— Oxford Herald. REPRESENTATION OF ANDOVER.—Mr. Etwall has announced his intention to retire from the representation of this borough at the close of the present Parliament. 11l health is the alleged reason. Two Conservatives will be returned. One section of the Liberals support Lord John Russell, another section is strongly committed against the Maynooth grant and the education scheme. —Oxford Herald. OXFORD.—The three candidates for the representation of the city of Oxford, Mr. J. H. Langston, Mr. J. J. Lockhart, and Mr. W. Page Ward, have severally Issued addresses to the electors preparatory to commencing their canvas. LEWES —Mr. Frewen, who had announced his inten tion of retiring Prow the reps % sentatien, has altered his determination, and will again come forward. Lord Cantalupe has more than , oiye addressed the electors, declaring that he will not decline the contest. THE RECENT MUEDERS AT LLANHTTHEE. - -The coroner's inquest was res med on Friday on the bodies of the three children who had been murdered by their mother, Mary Hughes, the particulars of which have already ap peared. The evidence adduced left no doubt as to the in sane state of mind of the prisoner, and the jury accordingly re t urn ed the following verdict :—That Mary llughes, the mother of the children, hanged and killed the deceased,llary Hughes being at the time in a fit of insanity. wruEAT.—The quantities of wheat exported from the united kingdom to foreign countries in the month of April, amounted to 134,000 quarters; a n d the quantity timultocoullYin s Pr ted s to 222,162 ratters. PRICE SD. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LOUVAIN A. LA. SAMBRE RAILWAY, DIRECT TO NAMUR AND TO CHARLEROY. A general meeting of the shareholders of this under taking took place this day at the London Tavern. JOHN BAIINgs, Esq. in the clisir. The CHAIRXAN informed the meeting that the affairs of the company were very prosperous. They required, however, a little more money for the purpose of pur chasing land. If they got that for the next six months they would not require to call again. The financo account not having been published, seve ral sharehol iers expressed their discontent, and required that the meeting should be adjourned until such was done. A lengthened report was read to the meeting from which wv extract the following:— For the purchase of land, houses, Fr. A &c., necessary for the laying down of the railway 441,000 or 17,640 For monthly payments to contractor, for execution of work, up to the 31st of March ... 482,000 or 19,280 For engineering expenses, including the a or►cs of the tunnel, excava tions, &c. &c 218,000 or 8,720 For plant, bricks, fencing, &c., and sundries Total 1,287,500 or 51,500 A long discussion arose as to whether the present company could legally enter into an amalgation with the Luxembourg Railway—but it was the opinion of M. Constant D'Hoff,chmidt, who addressed the meeting in French, and who was late Minister of Public Works in Behtium, that they could. Monsieur lioffse - limidt also expressed his strong opinion of the advantages of the line, and that it would pay a large per centage on the capital. The report of the directors was adopted. A second resolution, declaring that all the unpaid shares should be forfeited save those allotted to Mr. Sarte, who will be compelled to pay up. Upon all the shares 41. per share had been already paid. The foll ow in g i s th e p ro p os i t i on f or raising money :— a, To ea c h propr i etor o f a 201. sbare in the Louvain l a Sambr e C ompany, on which 61. shall have been paid, it is proposed to give, upon payment of 10s. per share, a new scrip certificate of a half share of 101., and to credit the same with 21. 103.; such new share to bear upon it an obligation to pay an additional 10s. on or before the 30th June next, and also a further sum of 11. on or before the 31st October next, which several payments, amounting together to 21. only, b e i ng duly completed, these scrip certificates will be exchang e d f ur stamped certificates of 101. shares (41. paid), made uut either to "Bearer" or in the name of the proprietor, at his option. These stamped certificates being credited with 41. paid, leaving only 6/. to be p a id, b y ca ll s of 11. each, at inter vals of four months, and—bearing interest at the rate of 5L per cent. per annum, from the date of their issue— will thus at once yield to their holders (who will have paid but 21.) interest upon 4/., or at the rate of 101. per cent. per annum. The following is the proposition for the revival of for feited shares : It is proposed that all shares on which 41. per share have been paid, but which have become forfeited in con sequence of the non-payment of the last call of 21. per share, may now be revived , in the proportion of twenty new shares credited with 61. paid, for every thirty for feited shares on which 41. had been paid, on the condi- tions following, riz. : The holder, on claiming the revival of his forfeited shares, shall pay, on or before the day of a fine of IL per share on the number of shares revived—say, if thirty forfeited, then on twenty revived shares, a fine of 1/. per share And an anticipatory call of 21. per share on ditto 40 Total £6o For which 601. he will save the loss of 1201., being the amount paid on thirty forfeited shares, and will receive twenty shares, credited with 8/. per share paid, amount ing to 1601., and bearing interest on that sum at the rate of 4/. per cent. per annum, with all the advanta ges an d obligations of the original 201. shares, but exempt from any further calls beyond the 12/. share; which will bring them when all paid up to 201. shares. There will not be any call on these revived shares during the present year, as the next call of 2/. per share on the existing shares, 6/. paid, will have been already discharged on the revived shares, by the anticipatory call of 21. per shire, as above stated. These propositions were then agreed to, and the meeting separated. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. - LIVERPOOL, MAY 11.

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 gentlernanTesitling at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from ilarlestone 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 con tinued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if his head had been shared;" and the Rey. 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 MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of it bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has new to ho ,st of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger. *.* Beware of "Spurious Imitations !—The genuine article has av oddo doublei, theth that Proprietors,size, 2 1 paetr 20,R0 tt Hatic the words " ROWLAND'S MACASS IR OIL " on the wrapper.

" Kingscl!ffe, Northamptonshira, March 14, 1846. To r. homaa Prout, 22trand, don. Sir,—l M fee l it a duty which 9, I S owe to Lo yo urself and the public to Worm you of the great benefit which I have derived by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic fills. During several years I was fre quently laid up by attacks of gout, being u•iable to attend to business for months at a time. I had often been advised to try Blair's Mils, but it was not until a friend pressed them upon me that I was in duced to take them. and from which I found speedy relief. This is several years ago, but I continue to take them whenever an attack comes on, and am thereby enabled quickly to resume my business. • I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "SAMUEL DIXON." The above testimonial exhibits the never-falling effects of this valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheu matism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and certain relief. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have codributed so much to the comfort and ease of the com munity, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the important discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, the efficacy 01 vrhich has been tested by the approval and recommen dation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effective for gout and rheumatism in all its various forms, including sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth ache, &c. They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.

That if the Board shall consider it expedient to entertain the proposed design, one copy shall be referred, as has heretofore been the practice, to the Surveyor of the Navy, to be reported on by him, and the other to a committee to be composed of two of the most scientific , hipwright officers, to be selected for this duty by the Board, and such other one or more competent persons, not officially connected with the Admiralty, as their Lordships may think proper to select, who are to report their opinions respecting it in writing, and (in case of disagreement) separately to the Beard ; and in the event of any nautical differerce of opinion beta een the sur veyor and the committee thus constituted, the report of the surveyor is to be referred to the committee, and that of the committee to the surveyor, who are to state, after having duly weighed the arguments in favour of their respective views, whether or not they still adhere to their former opinions. 3d.—That a printed form, to be hereafter determined by the Admiralty with the assistanc e of the surveyor and the above -mentioned " Committee of Re&rence," shall be drawn up, containing questions with respect to the capacity of the proposed vessel for carrying her weights, her probable qualities as a man-of-war, and ether points of importance to her efficiency, to which answers are to be inserted separately by the Surveyor, and by each of the members of the " Committee of Reference ; " but that their remarks are not to be coo fined to suc h answers, but are to extend to every point having relation to the design referred to them to which they might think it proper to draw the attention of the Board. 4th. That the Surveyor and the Committee of Re ference be desired to confer with the Chief Engineers or the Woolwich and Portsmouth steam-factories, and to submit for the consideration of the Board, a plan for obtaining greater security than at present exists, that the Steam Vessels to be hereafter ordered to be built will float at the proper trim after their engines have been fixed on board, and that they will stow the requisite quantities of coals, water, provisions, &e., at the proper immersion. sth. That the reports of the surveyor and of the committee of reference are to be circulated for a week at least among the na' mbers of the board, and to be taken into consideration on a day previously fixed, when it is to be determined whether the design to which they refer shall be approved or rejected, or (in the event of the principle being approved, but objections being en tertained in questions of detail) returned to the con structor for such alterations and adjustments as may be required. 6th. That the surveyor and committee of reference be given clearly to understand that, with respect to all questions of mere calculation, such, for instance, as suffi. ciency of displacement, sufficiency of space to stow tt.ie proper quantities of water, provisions (coals in the (wise of steamers), &c., in their proper places, the responsi bility will rest with them and not with the constructor, who is not unfrequently ignorant of the weights which a man•of--war is required to carry, and has, therefore, no correct data cn which to found his calculations in these respects. _ _ 7th. My Lords also direct, that before any vessel shall be ordered to be repaired, an estimate of the expense, which is to be laid before the Board for consideration, shall be sent in by the shipwright officers of the yard, who are to distinguish between the probable cost of giving her a thorough repair, and of repairing her in a more superficial manner, with inferior timber, suffi cient to fit her for only another station ; and. Bth. That no vessel shall be broken up or sold out of the service (unless she be of an obsolete class of which it might be desirable to get rid), without a survey having first been held on her by two master shipwrights, of whom the master shipwright of the Ordinary to which she belongs is to be one, and that in the event of a differ ence of opinion between these two officers, she is to he re -surveyed by a third master shipwright, who is to send in a separate report, which, along with the reports of the first survey, is to be laid before the Board.
