In reference to the expiry to the septennial period and the consequent investigation into the Company's affairs, the Report ex plained, that, on account of the great extent and import ance of the subject, the Directors had thought it right to place the investigation under- the professional superin tendence of Mr. Renton, Accountant, a member of the Board, whose report was now laid on the table. Refer ringto the statements also-now laid on the table, it would be seen, that the Fire Premiums received during the year 1844.a.mounted to £27.540.105.-9d., being £3,390 beyond those of 1843. The Life Pdlicies issued during the year 1844 Insured Sums to the amount of £305,065, and the Annual Premiums received in 1845 under these Policies amounted to £9,698 6s, 11 it., ezceeding by £1,315145. 10d. the amount of the Premiums received in 1843, under the Policies which had been issued in that year. The progress made in the Life Department of the Company's business within the septennial period ending 31st December, 1844, was. shown by the following comparison between the ge. neral state of the business afe..at the commencement and as at the expiry of that period.

F REEMAN'S SWEET ESSENCE OF SENNA er, _ (The most agreeable Purgative.) Containing in a highly concentrated form all the active principle of senna entirely deprived of its nauseating and griping properties, and rendered so peculiarly pleasant to the taste, that children will take it with a positke relish. The extraordinary merit of this medicinal novelty has obtained for it the distinguished patronage of Her Ma jesty—the Queen Dowager—the following Physicians to Her Majesty and the Queen Dowager. Sir C. M. Clark, Bart., M.D., Dr. Ferguson. and Dr. Lococh—Sir David Davies, and Dr. Holland—by many Princes, Nobles, and Families of distinction, by most of the eminent Physicians and Medical Men in London, who have been for several years, and ❑ow are, in the daily habit of prescribing and recommending it as the best and sweat domestic aperient for females and children—the aged and delicate—the nervous—the bilious—the habitually costive, and those suffering from piles, worms, sickness, or head ache, and as being particularly adapted for ladies during pregnancy, and children during dentition. Impelled by a sense of duty, confident of conferring a great national benefit, the proprietor proudly submits it to the patronage of a discerning public, assured that a single trial will convince every one of its inestimable value as a plesant, safe, and efficacious domestic aperient, the moderate price of which places it within the reach of every family. Sold by Mr. BIRD, Woodside, and all respectable Vendors of Medicine, in Bottles, at Is.. 2s. 6d., 55., 12s 6d.. and 20s. each. CAUTION.—The great celebrity this Medicine has at tained, have induced many druggists in Scotland and England to put up for sale, base and worthless imitation, to the serious injury of the original Preparation. Pur chasers are therefore requested to ark for Freeman's Sweet Essence of Senna, each genuine bottle of which is signed John Freeman. AGENTS. SAMUEL STOKES, Exchange-alley North.

SIR,-1 have much pleasure in bearing testimony to your unique and elegant preparation of Senna, which contains in a highly concentrated form, the active princi ples of that Vakiable Domestic Aperient.

SOLICITORS. Thomas Heath, Esq., Warwick. Messrs. Buck and Baker, Ditto. Samuel Carter, Esq., Birmingham The proposal of the lines of the London, 'Worcester, and south Staffordshire Railway through the district to the west of London and Birmingham Railway, has called for the revival of a line in connection with the London and Birmingham and Midland Railways, from the point of junction between those lines at Haaapton•in-Arden to Warwick and Leamington, for which plans and sections were deposited by the Birmingham and Derby Railway Company (now united with the Midland Company) in 1841 and 1842, with a continuation of such line from Warwick and Leamington to join the London, Worcester, and St.uth Staffordshire Railway, the necessity for which was specially referred to in rie prospectus of that under taking, issued last autumn. This junction will be effected by two lines—one to the neighbourhood of Southern, and the other following the Valley of the Avon till it joins the Stratford and Moreton Railway, near Stratford-upon- Avon, which crosses the London and 'Worcester line. To complete the communication with Cheltenham, a branch will he made out of the London and Worcester line from Evesham to Ashchurch, on the Birmingham and Glou cester line. These objects are considered of so much importance b] the local interests, that their full support has been ob tained for cart ying them into effect. The Report of the Board of Trade in favour of the London and Worcester line states so fully the peculiar advantages of the scheme, that it is unnecessary to repeat them here. The reasons there given for the adoption of that measure apply in a great degree in favour of the present proposal, as compared with any rival scheme, and the lines now proposed are so connected with the London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire scheme, and with the system of railway communication which the Board of Trade have recommended in their Report, that the success of the scheme may be considered to render certain the adoption of the present project. Allusion may, however, be made to the great importance of the junction at Hampton, in connection with the Trent and Churnet Valley hoes, by means of which a direct and uninterrupted communication will be established with Lancashire and the North. The London and Birmingham, Midland, and Londor and Worcester Companies unite in co-operalion with tht local interests, to insure the most effectual completion o the objects in view. A guarantee will be proposed by the abovementioned Companies, and a due proportion of the shares will be reserved for local interests. Careful surveys of the whole of the country have been made under the direction of Mr. Robert Stephenson, and application will be made to Parliament for an Act in the next Session. Applications for shares by landowners and other parties having local claims, may be made to the Solicitors. LOCAL AND PROVINCIAL NEWS, Lord Stanley left town on Tuesday for Knowsley. On Sunday week, whilst the psalms were being read, the Rev. Dr. Whittaker, vicar, fell down in his pew in the Parish Church, Blackburn, in a fainting fit. Medical aid was immediately procured, and he soon recovered.

The committee for the foundation of new parks in Manchester, have purchased Lark Hill, late the residence of W. Garnett, Esq., for the purpose of one of the new parks. The purchase includes an area of seven acres, and the pike asked by Mr. Garnett was £5,000, but he ultimately agreed to accept £4,500, desiring the com mittee to consider the difference of X5OO as his contribu tion to the public parks. The friends of Mr. George Walker, wh' was summarily convicted, it will be remembered, be'ore Mr. Rushton, on a peculiar charge, and who appealed unsuccessfully at the sessions against the conviction some three months ago, was entertained by his friends at a public dinner, which took place on Thursday night, at the Brunswick Hotel. The Company, which was numerous, partook of an excel lent dinner. ASSIZE BANQUET AT THE 1 OWN-HALL.—On Tues day evening, our worthy Chief Magistrate entertained toe Hon.

MANORIAL RIGHTS OF MANCHESTER.—The Council of Manehester. on Monday last, resolved to purchase of Sir Oswald Mosley, the lord of the manor of Manchester, all the manorial rights and properties, for the sum of £200,000 ; of which £5,000 only is to he paid down, (as a deposit,) and the corporation is not to be compelled to pay in liquidation of the purchase money more than £4,000 a-year, but with an option on their part to in crease that payment to £6,000 a-year. MANCHESTER ANNUAL EASTER WRESTLING.—On Tuesday last, the annual athletic sport took place at the White Horse Gardens, Manchester. The attendance was greater than on any former occasion. The sum given was £4O, for 101, and all weights. During the day there was some excellent throwing,, esp ec i a ll y amongst the heavy weights. Bordley, of Preston, took the chief prize, Lup ton the second, and Longtnire the third. In the light weights White took the first prize, and James Crimson, of St. Bees, the second. During the sport, a stage on which were a number of persons fell, and several legs were broken, and other parties more or less injured. LECTURES ON ASTRONOMY.—Yesterday evening, our townsman, Mr. W. M. Fisher gave the first of two highly interesting lectures on this important subject, which were illlustrated by diagrams, the painting and working of which were unequalled by anything of tne kind we have hitherto seen, and conveyed with the lucid descriptions of the lecturer (who has that tripling on the tongue that ren ders his discourse particularly pleasing) a clear impression of the noble science—of which he is evidently the mas ter. Want of space alone precludes us from giving the substance of his lectures; and Mr. Fisher has voluntarily offered the whole of the profits to that excellent body— the Church Missionary Society; we cannot too strongly recommend our readers to attend his next iecture which takes place on Friday evening. 1niMM1MM.0•111•••.......,..

A DISORDERLY PUBLICAN.—On Tuesday last, Mr. George Robinson, publican, of St. James's-place, was summoned before Mr. Rushton, to answer a charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct. It appeared that police officer 252 was passing along St. James's-place, on duty, at half•past ele:en o'clock on Saturday night, and, on hearing a great noise in the house, inquired of Mr. Robinson, who was at the door, the cause. The defen dant, being drunk, began to swear, and said he was capable a conducting his own business without interference. Not content with this, he brought a stick, similar to man's, out of the house, and continued knockint flags for ten minutes, in the most violent r a number. of the p >lice force from their v, had been repeatedly requested to desist five shillings police on the inner, bringing He He was fined Woopsioe.—On Tuesday the annual meeting of the commissioners of the Woodside and North Ileols turn pike road was held at the Birkenhead Hotel. The sur veyor, Mr. Davies, gave a verbal report as to the condi tion of the road, and stated that it was, with the excep tion of 500 yards opposite the sand hills, in coed condi tion. The tolls during the year had increased from £241 to £276; from which sum £5O were voted for repairing and pavine the worst portion of the road. On the sugges tion of Mr. Robert Vyner, trustee, it is proposed to re move the toll-bar now ahove Bidstort, to 150 yards nearer Meols. Leave was given to the Birkenhead Commission ers to aPer the present line of Corporation-road, where it is intended to erect the new church, to a plan produced by Mr. John Laird. On the motion of one of the trus tees, Mr. Edward Jackson Kent was appointed clerk to the trustees, in the ro ern of the late Mr. Richard Rad cliffe.. FIRES "or BIRKENHEAD.-011 Wednesday week, a fire broke our in a plantation near Clanghton Hall, but it was extinguished before much damage was done.—On Friday week a fire was discovered amongst some straw at the Adelphi Hotel, Woodside, bet it was quickly put out. It is supposed that in both cases a spark from a cigar or a pipe was the cause of the accidents. THE MAYNOOTH GRANT —On Tuesday evening last, a meeting of the inha'•itants of West Derby Ward was held in the school-room, King -street—Mr. H. J. Web ster in the ',hair, t o p ro t est aga i ns t th e proposedincreased grant for the college of NI ay noot h. On the motion of Mr. Edward, seconded by Mr. Jones, a resolution was adopted, to the effect that the o eeting viewed with as tonishment the proposed Government grant to Maynooth coll-ge as subversive of Christian principle, and a direct encouragement of a syst em w hi c h f os t ers immorality and disloyalty, and is directly opposed to the laws of God. It was then moved by Mr. Rogers, and seconded by Mr. Martin,—" That this meeting pledges itself, by every lawful means, to appose so ungodly a proposition, by sig ling petitions against it, and urging those who ate lukewarm to join them in their endeavours to support the Protestant religion " Upon the motion of Mr. Perris, seconded by Mr. Woods, a committee was formed to carry the intentions of the meeting into effect ; and, after a'vote of thanks to the chairman, the assembly separated. CONCERT HALL, LORD NELSON-STREET.—ThiS build building, formerly the Socialist Hall, has happily passed into other hands, and is 'about to be renovated and im proved, and adorned in a manner that will render it in every respect "befittin • the most respectable audiences at concerts, lectures, and the like. It is now closed for this purpose. The galleries will be thrown all round the build ing, and made so as to accommodate a much larger num ber of persons than before. A distinct entrence and stair will be made to the body of the room so as to render in gress and egress perfectly commodious. A very elegant platform will also be erected, and the ball will be bril liantly illuminated by a gorgeous chandelier. The whole will be ornamented; and when completed will afford sit ting room to upwards of two thousand ; and it is fully anti cipated will be the most commodious, el gant, and central Hall in the town. As it is now under the sole maoagt ment of the committee of the North Mechanics' Institu tion, every care will be taken to preserve its respectability. When the alterations are completed, the Saturday Nights Concerts will be resumed ; and the Hall will be let for general purposes—the proceeds to be added to the fund for building the institution named. ASSAULT UPON THE POLICE,—On Tuesday last, a number of low characte' s were brought before Mr. Rush ton, charged with violently assaulting several of the po lice and stabbing Inspector Burrell. From the evidence of Police-officer Owen, (5690 it appeared that John Pat terson and George Reyes were drunk and disorderly the day before, in Vauxhall-road. On being requested to move along quietly, they refused, and a quarrel ensued. A number of persons collected shortly, who took part with the prisoners, and attempted to prevent the police from taking them into custody. Ultimately they suc ceeded in securing Patterson and Reyes, and, while on their way to Bride we ll, Inspector, Burrell wa s s t a bb e d i n the left side of the back, fortunately not dangerous, by whom it is not known. In consequence of the immense number of miss'les that were thrown at them, the police took refuge in Mr. Foster's glass-house yard. where they lodged the prisoners till further assistance was procured, and a number of the leaders of the Mob had been taken. Police-officer Owen was struck with a large piece of black bottle on the upper jaw, which, besides cutting him severely, injured several of his teeth. Another officer was also struck on the side of the left eye and severely cut. Patterson and Heyee were ordered to pay £5 each, or be imprisoned two months : four other persons 405., or be imprisoned one month ; and one 505., or one month's imprisonment. 'Webelieve the disturbance arose in consequence of the first-named prisoners indulging in the foolish practice so common on "lifting Monday." WALTON VESTRY MEETING.--The annual Easter vestry of the above parish was held on Tuesday last. The Rev. T. G. Leigh, the vicar, was called on to preside. The churchwardens accounts for the past year were passed without opposition The amount received on be half of the township was £598 Is. 5d., and there remained a balance in favour of the pari-h of £44 Os. 9d. Mr. Thomas Birkett was appointed church warden. Mr. Thomas Sleddon was elected,to the offices of sidesman. Mr. Harrison, the churchwarden, road over the amounts received from the various townships, and stated that of a sum of £l2B Bs, lid. which had been collected by Mr. R. T. Foster, only £35 bad been paid over, leaving £93 not accounted for. It appeared, also, that Mr. Foster was a defaulter to the amount of upwards of £l7O in the West Derby Union, which Mr. Dolling, as one of his sureties, would have to pay. Mr. Dolling had been ad vised that he should be proceeded against fur the recovery of the amount. There were some arrears yet to be col lected from Everton, West Derby and Kirkdale. A mo tion was adopted to the effect that the churchwardens should take proceedings for recovering the money due from Mr. Foster, if they should deem it expedient: and they were to obtain a guarantee from future collectors. A rate of one penny in the pound was carried for the en suing year after some discussion. Mr. Roshell thought - it desirable that tire subject of enlarging the churchyard should be considered ; and a resolution was submitted, the purport of which was, that as it was deemed advisa ble an enlargement should take place, the vicar and churchwardens be instructed to apply to the trustees under the Walton Rectory Act for the purchase of the glebe land adjoining the present cemetery, and report the result to a future vestry. Some routine business was then transacted includinga grant of £2O to Mr. Clarke, the late organist, and, aft-r a vote of thanks to the chair man, the meeting broke up. DOCK COMMITTEE, THURSDAY.—Mr. Moore in the chair. It was ordered that notice should be given to the public that in future no person would be allowed to pick up rubbish in the graving docks after the ships had left. The land on the east side of the Qaeen's Dock, to the south of the dock masters' houses, was ordered to be ad vertised to be let, by tender, for a lease of twenty-one years, terminable at the end of seven or fourteen years, on twelve months' notice being g iven. Th e rece i p t s o f the dock and light du es on vessels entering the port of Run corn, for tile past month, were stated to be, on 155 vessels of 8,842 tons, £44 2s. Bd., being an increase as compared with the corresponding period of last year of £5 ss. In reply to a question from Mr. Evans, Mr. Hartley said they bad now a good supply of bricks for the new ware houses. Mr. Evans said it was of great importance, as every week they lost retarded the completion of tile whole of the warehouses. A claim made by Mr. John Wareing, contractor for the Albert Docks, for loss occi , sioned by interruption, was referred to the sub-committee of works. The chairman said great oaso;u.tion had been put in ti e way of the execution of the works, at the north end, by tile non-removal of two of the parties occupying the ship wright's yard—Messrs. Vernon and Forrester. The work they had to finish would occupy them two months, and they were putting the trust to an expense of many thou sands of pounds. The proprietors of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal had written to the committee on the subject, but nothing could b.! done on this side in conse quence of the occupation of the land; it Literfrred directly with the work Mr. Hartley wished to carry on. Besides this, they were kept out of the paymcnt, by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Company, of £28,000, which they ought , to have had in their poseso.ion some time ego. It was suggested by Mr. Hartley to make them the dirt' of road going round a little more to the northward, and that would enable him to go on with No. 2 road. Soros con versation ensued up on this subject ; but at last it was resolved to i nv i te t h e parties to attend the Sub-committee t C a t a str ait ' of Works on S atur d ay. The c, malittee resolved to place the use of th e suite 4:f rooms at the Dock-office at the disposal, f or fi ve or six days, of the owners of tile models e p x o h se ib d i , tthe after the r plans the landing -stages ! - or George's Pier, if they reit g e : and ln m odels aitte charge for admission. edeter t fl o : i ? f i d oth e prizes, to e public
