For example, it is not to every individual or to caseevery class amongst the industrious community, that provision _ of sickness is an object of such Importance as to call for a Actual sickness sacrifice ' ; whi'e to others such a provision appears more arm.

For this anomalous state i nstead there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say, e o -- „ - ,1 44 of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more contingent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate 7tshould have its separate contribution. f w .,,, 18 , to not having observed this rule, and to the association of annuity functions. and by confounding a sick allowance and erfut n n " u ltr fund in one anti the self-same payment, that much of the "'" Mi smanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. fri nes" tchallisai can be so perfect for the management of a sick- 11;trolad proviaion as that afforded by the constant sectional ass,o this „." and w atchfulness of the several members composing' it.

GENTLEMEN, NVIIEN I first solicited the honour of your re- Y presentation, I distinctly stated that in the event of my services being required I should at once consult your wishes, and retain or resign my seat, as you might determine. I beg now to inf,rm you that her Majesty's Government have thought proper to order me to hoist my flag, and, although the term of my absence may not be of long duration, I feel it my duty at once to redeem my pledge. My anxious desire is to continue your representative. I hare held that high situation for six years, and I think I have done my duty fearlessly and conscientiously. _ _ A dissolution of Parliament is shortly expected, and I shall either tand Again or resign, as you may decide.—l have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, CIIARLES NAPIER. 8, Duke-street, St. James's, May 13, 1897. ( TO THE ELECTORS OF THE EASTERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF SURREY. Gesmettxtr, lACCEPT with pride and with pleasure the invitation to become a Candidate for the Representation of East Surrey, conveyed to me in a requisition from such a portion of body, as leaves me no doubt of their ability to carry their wishes into effect, by returning me to Parliament. I agree entirely with the opinion expressed at the meeting, held at the Bridge-house Hotel, tinq the Liberal Candidates should cordially co-operate, and shall hare great satisfaction in uniting my Interest with that of the Gentlemen whom you hare invited to share with me the honour of your support. The princip i es on which I offered myself as a Candidate for your . _ suffrages in 1337, and which I have seen no reason since to change or modify, arc now to a great degrea adopted by many who were at that time strenuously opposed to them. Those principles were, from my earliest youth, inculcated on me by the example and in structions of my father. From him I learnt that as the legitimate object of every Government is tke happiness and well-being of the people, so the means of effecting that object in a free state like oars, must emanate from the people themselves. I am therefore anxious to extend to them as large a share of liberty and power as they are capable of enjoying and of exercising to their own ad vantage, To secure the benellts and prevent the misuse of that power, I wish to have the bl,ssings of education diffused as exten sively as possible ; and for that purpose, I hope to see devised a system of•national instruction, unencumbered by tests or conditions, by which the children of any class or sect could be excluded from its inestimable benefits. lam opposed to all restrictions upon commerce. I hailed with heartfelt joy the triumph of Free Trade principles in my own country, and it affords me constant gratification to witness their aa advance throughout the civilized world. But their yet remain more to be done at home ; those who have abandoned whit they consi dered protection, claim, in turn, to be relieved from burdens which press most heavily upon them. The agricultural body de mand the repeal of the Malt Tax, and I think some other and less obnoxious impost should be substituted. Indeed there is scarcely any branch of the excise, which is not a fruitful source of immorality, vexation and fraud. It is surely the duty of the legislature to raise the supplies for the public service with the least possible pressure on the industrious classes, whose more extended command of the com forts of life, is among the surest results of wise government and the best pro ,f of general prosperity. My property and residence in the county of Surrey, give me a na tural interest in all questions affecting the local welfare of every por tion of its inhabitants, and you may rest assured my best attention, and care, shall be devoted to such of those questions as may, from time to time, come before Parliament. I have the honour to be, GENTLEMEX, Your faithful Servant, P. J. LOCKE KING. Woburn Park, May 11, 1847. EAST INDIA HOUSE, MAT 12, 1847.

SOUTH AFRICAN A.BORIGI.NES—TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and A BABY, of the BOSJIEMAN or BUSH TRIBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could never before be !whited to visit a place of civilization. This oppor tunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology Ass only been obtained by great personal exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was born at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance. (Front Moffatt, the Missionary's Work on Southern Africa, page 52.) " Poor Bushman 1 Thy hand has been against every one, and every one's hand against thee. For generations past they have been hunted like partridges in the mountains. Deprived at what nature had made their own, they became desperate, wild, tierce, and indo mitable in their habits. Hunger compels them to feed upon every thing edible. Ixias, wild garlic, mysembry antharnams, the core of aloes, gum of acarias, and other plauti and berries, some of which arc extremely unwholesome, constitute their fruits; whilst almost every kind of living creature is eagerly devoured, lizards, locust s and grasshoppers not excepted. The poisonous as well as innoxious serpents they roast and eat. They carefully extract their bags or reservoirs of poison, with which they cover the points of their arrows."

I. :1 4: 066 TO TIIE ELECTORS OF THE EASTERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF SURREY. GENTLEMEN, IN compliance with a Requisition addressed to me by upwards of 1,200 Electors, I readily declare myself a CAN DIDATE for the honour of representing East Surrey in Parliament; and it affords me the greatest satisfaction to end myself associated with a gentleman whose principles —I have reason to believe—are so much in accordance with my own. My political opinions were made known to you in 1841, when I declared myself an advocate for a total repeal of the corn-laws. It was then my conviction that commercial restrictions were impolitic; and it has been some compensation for the defeat I then experienced, to see the principles of free trade, so soon and almost universally re cognised among civilised nations. :the corn-laws having been repealed, and protection to the farmers withdrawn, justice requires that protection to others should no longer be continued. I am therefore ready to vote for a repeal of the malt tax, and for the abolition or reduction of many other duties on the comforts and necessaries of life, which press heavily on the working classes. I am an advocate of that gradual extension of the elective fran clese which the progress of knowledge is fast rendering necessary. Of religious liberty in its full sense I am a staunch supporter. My self a sincere member of the Established Church, I claim for others the tame freedom of judgment which I enjoy. Having always taken a deep Interest in the subject of education, I trust the time will shortly arrive when its inestimable blessings will be extended to the whole community without distinction, and on such terms that none may feel themselves conscientiously obliged to decline its advantages. Having property in this division of the county, and residing amongst you, it is impossible for me not to take a deep interest in your local affairs; and if you should confer on me the honour of representing your interests in Parliament, be assured that I shall strive to prove myself worthy of your confidence. I have the honour N be, Gentlemen, Your obedient and faithful servant, THOMAS ALCOCK. Kingswood Warren, May 11, 1847. FAST SURREY ELECTION.

HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will never change col ,ur or Cecay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible.

" Mrs. Wcekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s ilegenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is, bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact..-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and lrevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A your hairbrush b e f ore brushing the hair, will give the hair ar dropson brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet.

PRICE SD. TIIE MURDER IN ST. GEORGE'S is-THE.EAST. On Wednesday afternoon an intro st was commenced before Mr. W. Baker, coroner, at the Grave Maurice public house, Whitechapel road, on the body of Agnes Macdonald, the wife of Gilbert Macdonald, a shipjoiner, whose death is alleged to have been caused from the effects of blows and kicks she received from her husband on Saturday evenin g last. The woman died thirty-six hours after the quarrel with her husband, who has been remanded on a charge of ;viral murder, by M r . Y ar dl ey, t Thames police magistrate. The particulars have been fully detailed. The jury, after being sworn, pro ceeded to vi ew t h e b ody, which presented a most ?right ful appearance. The head was etnered with bruises, and the deceased had evidently been moat severely ill used. The state of the body and the degree of violence used will be best understood by the evidence of the surgeon, who was examined for the first time. •-• Mr. Joseph Nash, the house-surgeon of the London Hospital, stated that the deceased was admitted into the institution on Saturday evening last, at seven o'clock She was brought in by four policemen on a stretcher. He examined her body externally. She had a wound or cut down the nose, dividing the cartilage, two fractured ribs on the left side, and a great many contusions on different parts of her body, the most particular of which were on the abdomen, chest, and head. Her hands, on the wrist and parts:above the knuckles, were also very much bruised, which appeared more to have been in curred by warding off blows than by giving them, the fingers not being much bruised, and the whole of the injuries appeared to have been of r.cent date, within a few hours. She gradually sunk, and died a little after seven o'clock. He had since opened the body, to ascer tain more minutely the cause of death. The vessels of the brain on opening the head were found to bo much congested, OW se&by severe blows on the right sideond immediately over the temporal muscle and the forehead. Two of the ribs on tho left side were fractured, and the intestines were ruptured, and there was a great deal of mischief in the chest and abdomen, as if caused by blowi or kicks. The lower part of the body appeared to have been kicked, or the injuries mi g ht h ave b een cause d b y her being trampled upon. He bad no doubt that the rupture of the itatestines was the immediate cause of death. The CORONER said the deceased has received injuries sufficient to kill half-a-dozen persons. The cause of death was clearly described by theiurgeon, and it would n ow be the duty of th e j ury to ascertain how and by. na-the injuries were inflicted. Re understood th a i dta boy of tender years, th e son o f the deceased, had been already interrogated by the magistrate, but that he was not qualified to give evidence. The jury said they should like to hear what the boy had to say, without inserting his statement on the minutes of evidence. The CORONER said, in order to make the child' s statement admissible, it was necessary it should be taken down in writing. The magistrate had decided that the boy was pot a fit person to be examined as a witness, and had directed that he should be taken to the work house and properly instructed, to qualify him to take an oath. After some further discussion, it was agreed that the boy should be called in. He is a simple fellow, about eight years of age, with very little intellect. The jurors then put a great number of questions to the boy, and with very great difficulty extracted from him, in broken sentences, that on Saturday last his father beat his mother and trampled upon her, and that when she was lying on the floor he jumped on her with his feet. His father was tipsy, but his mother was not. He saw him kick his mother as she was leaning against the wall. The jury were nearly an hour extracting these few words from the child. Inspector Bilson, of the K division, said the boy told exactly the same story in the presence of his father, at the station-house. The inquest was then adjourned, after the jury had heard some unimportant evidence. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. DUBLIN. SUPTLEME.NTAL EXAMINATION FOR TEE DEGREE OF B.A. MELD IN TRINITY TERM.

THE SIIILLING AND GUINEA- Soine time ago the Duke of tuceleueh, in one of his walks, purehased.a cow from a person in the.neighbour hood of Dalkeith, and left orders to send it to his palace the following morning. .According to agreement the cow was sent, and the Duke, who happened to be -in deshabille, and walking in th© avenue, espie+ a little fellow ineffectually attempting to drive the animal to its destination. The boy, not keeiwing the Duke, bawled out to him, "Plimun come here "au' gin's a han wi' this beast." The Duke saw the mistake, and determined on having a joke with the little - fe.thiev. Pretending, there fore, not to understand him; the Duke walked on slowly, the boy still craving his assistance. At last he cried in a tone of appare n t di stress, " Come here, men, an help us, an' as sure as onything I'll'give you half I get." This last solicitation had the desired effect. The Duke went and lent a helping hand. " And now," said the Duke, as they trudged along, " how much do you think you'll get for this job?" " Oh, dinna ken," said the toy, " but I'm sure o' something, for the folk up at the house are good to a' bodies." As they approached the house the Duke darted from the boy and entered by a different way. lie called a servant, and put a sovereign into his hand, saying " Give that to the boy that has brought the cow. The Duke returned to the avenue, and wa s soon rejoined by the boy. " Well, how much did you get?" said thu Duke. " A shilling," said the boy, " an' there's the half o' it t' ye." " But you surely got more than a shilling," said the Duke. " No," said the boy, with the utmost earnestness, " as sure's death that's a' I got—an' d'ye not tlitirk it's a plenty!" "I do net," said the Duke; " there must be some mistake, and, as I am acquainted with the Duke, if you return I think I'll get you more." The boy con sented; back they went. The Duke rang the bell, and ordered all the servants to be assembled. " Now," said the Duke to the boy, " point me out the person that gave you the shilling." "It was that chap there with the apron,' pointing to the butler. The delinquent con fessed, fell on his knees, and attempted an apology ; but the Duke interrupted him, indignantly ordered him to give the boy.the sovereign, and quit his service instantly. You hare lost," said the Duke, " your money, ) our situation, and your character, by your covetousness; learn, henceforth, that honesty is the best policy."

It seems that at the time named he was walking in company with a male person along the pavement of Princes -street, by the Bank of England, tvlien the foot passengers were suddenly alarmed by seeing the man draw a knife across his throat, and before any one could get to him the blood gushed from an extensive wound which separated the windpipe and several of the small blood-vessels. He fell to the ground insensible, and when raised up the blood was issuing copiously from the injured part. Several of the City police arrived, and carried the wounded man to the nearest surgeon, where the injuries were temporarily dressed, after which he was placed on a stretcher and removed with all care to the accident ward of St. Thomas's Hospital, where he was put under the care of the house-surgeon, but the wound in the neck is of such a character, that no hopes are entertained of his recovery. His pockets were searched, and were found to contain a quantity of foreign silver coin, but no papers or writing were found. From the nature of the injury, he of course is unable to 'Peak, and likewise he remains in a state of stupor. The man who was walking by his side ran away, and was not seen afterwards. Last evening he was still alive, but cannot survive many hours.

Baronet. " Still nothing is said with respect to Sir George's acceptance of the invitation which has been forwarded to him, and a belief prevails that he will not come forward; though it is said that he will be nominated even in his absence, with the view of affording the independent portion of the electors as opportunity of expressing their opinion of the coalition which has been formed, apparently under ducal patronage, and the tendency of which is to de prive the electors of the freedom for which they have s ' oft en and so manfully struggled.

Viscount Morpeth, Ifirst Co mm i ss i oner of her Majesty's Woods Lind Forests, concerning a Public Monument to COM. mernorate the Introduction of Printing ( into England. " Cloisters, I Vestminster Abbey, April 26, 18 4 7 . som e " My dear .1...0rd M or p et h , — A notion has been for time b rooding in my m i n d, w hi ch has at length tl5. Pawed form and consistence. "In the history of our country, with one exception-- the preachinc, of Christi an i ty—no event surpasses in im portance the' oductio n of printing. Of our, reat public b ene f actors, few have a stronger claim on cur re spect and gratitude than William Caxton. "The house in the Almonry, which tradition oite out as the resid ence of Caxton, and the scene of this labours (in apprehension, I presume, of its hppro:zeiling fate from the Westminster Improvement Commis sioners), has fallen down of its own accord. The tra dition is of somewhat doubtful auth or i ty ; it is ecit,sin, however, that the printing press in England tomti t ne: d its boperations within the pr ec i ncts or Sanctuary of the A. "I venture to suggest the propriety of raising a publi c monument in commemoration of th•it great event, and in honour of Caxton. For such a 'monument the open peace at the end of the new Victoria-street, in front of the Abbey, would be admirably suited. " The character of the monument might be this: --A fountain (of living water) by day, out of which should arise a tall pillar, obelisk, or cluster of Gothic pinnacles for light by night; the diffusion of light being the fit and intelligible symbol for the invention of printing. "If the propriety of this suggestion be admitted, the details would of course depend on the space at our A:uni t/land, and the amount of subscription. "I propose, therefore, that a subscription be com menced among those who ar'e - connecull with literature in its most extensive signification, but w hicii shall include all classes of the community. I cannot but think that, in the present temper of the public mind as regards letters, the arts, and the ornament of the metropolis, a considerable sum might be raised without difficulty, to preserve in its appropriate locality the memory of this event--an event of such inapprecia ble importance, alike in a religious, a civil, a social, a scientific point of view; to which we owe, in so great a degree, the divinity, the poetry, the philosophy, perhaps the constitution and liberties of the land. "It is fortunate for such a scheme that the high office, which your Lordship holds, on whose d ec i s i on t h e erec , publio-mentinsenta:etril, to a great extent, de pend, is filled by one who baa ever shown so strong an interest in, and has himself contributed to, the literature of England. Under such auspices, I cannot but feel ea)n fident that such a monument might be raised, honourable at once to the, country—which ought to comtnetaorate with equal munificence its triumphs in the arts of peace, as in those of war—and ornamental to the 'metropolis, especially that part of the metropolis which, so closely bordering on the Abbey and the Houses of rarliament, will become more and more the centre of public resort. " I have the honour to be, " With sincere respect and esteem, " Your Lordship's faithful servant, " 11. 11. MILMAN." Yisecuut liforpeth has expressed his cordial approba tion of the proposed scheme, which has likewise the sanction of the Dean of Westminster.
