Since that time the subject of our notice has gradually enlarged its opera tions, until it may now fairly claim to be ranked among the most important and useful. societies in the country. Its managers may justly pride themselves upon the fact, that in the Life Assurance Department more than 5;000 Policies, assuring somewhere about a MILLI9N sterling, have been issued, while the publicity given to every item, both of receipt and expenditure, shows how full and bol well justified is their confidence in the financialposition of the association. The accounts, unlike those of many offices, are open to the world, and as long as this is the case there is. but little fear either of malversation or of extravagance. an, attempt was indeed made at the last ,meeting to _throw ,sespiclon upon' 'the' position and conduct of the' office, but it waS • promptly, ahly, and successfully refuted. Indeed, in the face of such figures, a refutation is almost superfluous. It .is not as an insurance office alone, however, that we Would . speak of the Provident Clerks' Association. It's Benevolent Fund, the only institution of the kind belonging exclusively to the clerks, has been the means of relieving a large amount of suffering and privation, and this, too, among a class who are on many grounds peculiarly entitled to sympathy. By the vicissitudes of.eommercial life num bers of clerks, are ruined or,seriously embarrased from circumstances over which. they, can . have no control. Few are so highly paid that they can, by mereszeOing, accu mulate a sufficient provision and yet maintain a " respectable appearance," while, at the same time, from education, habits, and social position, they constitute a class on whom the pressure of actual poverty tells With doubly painTuj effect. If this_he true of the clerk, even while health and ability are spared, whewthe opportu nity of employment is denied him, how much more true is it of those helpless beings who are too often left to mourn the loss of him whose labour was their sole dependance, and who by one stroke are not only plunged into domestic affliction, but are reduced from cortapara • tive affluence to actual want. A few weeks since it was our duty to record a painful case of this nature, and we _have reason, to know that, on the matter being brought before the directors of the Provident Clerks' AssOciailon, the widow 'was promptly and liberally relieved. That this is not - a single caslethe annual branlaf m them o r d o e-sheetsof o th: t , association clearly show, between, eight and nine hundred poundS are paid annuities to distressed members and svidows--thiit - inoie than £l,lOO have been given away to Imeet cases of urgent necessity, and that £22,000 have been lent in small sums for the relief of temporary difilcultiets. We cannot doubt that these facts, widely known, as they deserve to be, will gain for the association the cordial support, not only of the clerks, of whom some 4:000' have already joined its ranks, but of that wealthy and important class to whom the weflarc of the clerks is, or ought to be, an object of real and heart-felt interest.-- Sun, It may be noticed- (s •ys the , Reeistrar - General) th at in the last two weeks the deaths of 28 shoemakers and only 3 tailors were registered.

FIELDING v. HOLMES.—In this case a young man, named Fielding, claimed £2 from Mr. Bryan Holmes, 12, St. James's-street, publican, for five weeks' wages, one week of which he was employed, and the remainder in lieu of a month's notice. It appeared from the state ment of the plaintiff that he engaged with defendant as a barman, with the agreement that he was to have a month's notice in the event of dismissal. On 'Wednesday night, the 22nd of November, the plaintiff went to bed at the usual time, but about tw o or thr e e in the morning he was awoke .by the defendant, who, he stated, had been on a ° spree" for some days, coming into his bed room, and saying " you rascal, why don't you get up." The plaintiff asked what time it was, but, without giving him an answer, defendant went into the servant's room, where, he'maile some noise, and then eaine in and nut of both bedrooms several times. About four ocloek the plaintiff ant up, and asked defendant for the key of the bar. Defendant said he had not got it. Plaintiff went down stairs and found that defendant bad broken up the bar door with a poker which was lying near. His coat was lying near also, aryl on moving it, the key fell out of h;s pocket. The plaintiff got through the broken panel into the bar. Defendant came down and abased him in rather strong language. About ten o'crock defendant told him to leave the place and go about his business, 'saying in addition—" shake hand before you'go; you Came from the same .r wife, go shake han ter.)

The facts will appear from the following statement made by his Honour to Mr. &one, the high bailiff, who was sent for by the judge. His Honour said, that on the Ist of May, 185.5, a person named Martin M'Mahon, brought an action against a person named Bromilaw, in that court for 17s. 6d. He got a verdict for that amount with 2s. 11d. costs, making £1 Os. 6d. It appeared that three weeks after Mr. M•Mahon was paid by the son of Bromilaw 2s. 6d. Mrs. Bromilaw, on the 30th of May, paid him 155., so that he had been paid the whole of the 17s. 6d., and there was left due 2s. Ild. for costs, and nothing more. Nothing was heard of the matter - until the week before Christmas, when he asked Mrs. Bromilaw for that amount, which she was not able to pay him. On the Ist of January he ordered an execution to issue for the .whole original amount. The execution was issued on the 2nd of January, and on the 7th of January a man named Lloyd, one of the bailiffs of that court, with a person, named David, a carter, and a third party, whose name 'Mrs. Bromilaw did not know, but whom she would know if she saw him, came about twelve o'clock to her, and required £1 4s Id of her. The cost of issuing the execution would be 2s 4d, the original sum, supposing nothing had been paid, would be £1 Os sd, so that execution might have issued pro perly for II 28,9 d ; a fee of 4d in addition was also allowed, and then they charged Is 'for possession which would make £1 4s Id. The high , bailiff would enquire whether they had any right to charge possession money, as at the time they had not taken possession. Mrs. Bromilaw had not got the money, and she sent to a neighbour to borrow it. She got it from the neighbour and offered it to the bailiffs, who refused it unless they were paid £1 Ss ld, being 4s additional for waiting an hour or more in possession. She was obliged to send out and borrow the additional 4s. and paid it over to the bailiffs. They had told ker previous to this that unless they got the additional 4s they would keep the worth If, it from her goods on the cart. She gave them the 4s, and asked for a receipt, saying that this trouble had come on her because she had not got a receipt from Mr. Mahon when she paid him the 15s and 2s 6d, upon which the bailiffs told her they would give her the trouble of coming down to the County. Court office next day for a receipt. She came down the same evening and got a receipt from Mr. Jackson for £1 4s Id, not 18s Id. She had now brought an action against M'Mahon for the amount. There could be no doubt that he had authorised the execution to issue for the full amount. His Honour then said the matter should not stop,there. He would direct summonses to issue to the bailiff-, and the carter, and to Mrs. Bromilaw. He had power given to him by the act of parliarrwnt, under which he sat, to enq4:ire into any case where officers of the court were charg• d with extortion or misconduct ; and a.cceriling to _ ....,.., “:.,Jountedly. She should never have n asked for the additional 4s at all; he very much doubted whether she ought to have been asked for any thing beyond .L 133 Id. Acc , , , rding to her evidence, there did not seem•nny doubt that 4s at least. if .not .more, had been extorted from, her.in a very improper manner, and he would take care that an enquiry should b made in the regular way. Meantime he should direct that Lloyd and the other baili be suspended from all part whatever in the discharge of the duties connected with that court. Ho also directed that Mr. Jackson be in attendance at the enquiry, but he should not direct him to 1 , ; - :.‘ suspended, as he hnd hot suffirl,—A were Bail evid,nce - - ..... a• matter should be enquired oas early as possible, and• if he found that it was as had been represented to biro, he should direct that every officer concerned in the transaction, be immediately discharged. ,All the expenses connected with it must necessarily fall upon the hizh bailiff, who was the gentleman responsible to him. He would take care that no such proceedings as that occurred under the sanction of the court. At present he had only 'heard one side of the case, but it appeared so well sup ported that it was difficult tb im ntine it would not 'be found that some misconduct had taken place. His Honour then directed that the enquiry should take place at ten o'clock on Saturday (to-morrow) morning. [ln reference to another case, his Honour stated, during the course of the day, that he had arranged with Major Greig that in any case where a breach of the peace was feared, arising out of executions issuing from that court, a timely notice being given, the assistance of the police, by the permis sion of Major Greig, could be obtained to any extent requisite.] POLICE COURT-YESTERDAY, .-....._,..__ (BE FORE MR.

It appeared that the prisoner went- into the complainant's house to have some dinner, and for upwards of an hour he sat alone in the parlour., It would seem that the prisoner was not exclusively engaged in the • pleasing operation of . 'gratifying hia gastronomic or gans , for , whilst- in the apartment, he contrived to take put•the works of lin eight day clock, value £l, which he secreted and carried away under his smock. ' The robbery was discovered immediately, the materials he had abstracted so dexterously were not discovered. The prisoner wauemanded, in order to have a search made for the property. BIRKENHEAD POLICE COURT -T Yesterday, the magistrates, the Rey. Mr. Fielden, and Messrs. Case, Jackson, and Bryan, assembled in petty sessions at the Town-hall, Birkenhead, for the purpose of disposing of the general police business of the district. A beer-house keeper, named George:Stephenson, living in Cathcart-street, was fined 19s 6d (penalty and costs), for permitting four men to be drinking ale in his house on the morning of Sunday last. Five seamen - , belonging to the ship Independence, named Hugh MtNeile, John Brown, William Reid, Thomas Ashton, and William Keitch, were charged with stealing a quantity of wearing apparel belonging to some of the other sailors of the same vessel. On the 17th Jan., the, vessel left the port of Liverpool for New Orleans. OR the night before, all hands were mustered when it was found that four were short, consequently, four of the hands were shipped on the day that the vessel sailed. After the vessel sailed she stranded in Drogheda 'Bay, and all hands returned to •Liverpool, bnt prior to that period it was ascertained that some of the other sailors trunks had been broken open.and' their wearing apparel had been'taken away. Information was subse quently giVen to the police, who found most of the pro perty stolen upon the prisoners, who were consequently apprehended. Mr. Atkinson appeared to watch the case for the•prisoners, MeNeile and Keitch, and argued that the property was taken by mistatie during the wreck of the vessel, and at the time they did not know but the jackets were their own property, as they, like all other sailors'•jackets, so much resembled each other. The mazistrates after a very lengthy consultation further remanded the pr,soners diligence of G enera l V ivian to attack K ertc h, "T On the 9th i ns t a nt the Russians advanced over the ice disappoint e d the enemy's projects. but the (about two miles fro m town) by per_ DarADFUL Monnvn..— tine night last w ee k as a man named Owen Fergus and his son were returnitur, from the h m o a u r s k e e o t i o li f nlaSrpepst4ohit, they were overt a k en at the school sons who immediatelyattacked the f a th er, and maltreated n th t re h w e litniin7iriettaonttshe trench by the him until he died.

Two bad characters, named Lavelle, had been arrested, and .the police had got a clue to„others. supposed to have been concerned in it. HEALTH COMMITTEE.-Yi§T;RDAT. The usual weekly meeting of this Committee was held at half-past two o'clock, yesterday, in the Council Chamber, Town-hall, Mr. Lanpdale in the chair. Other members present—Messrs. Beckwith, Hodson, Mc Guffie, D.wer, A. Stewart, Ilaydock, Tione, Johnson, Shied, J. Holm°, Crosthwaite, Godfrey, Robertson Gladstone, BLAUGHTER-HOUSES IN THE BOROUGH. Mr. flaydock, pursuant to the notice which he gave in the matter, moved that the license for the slaughter-house in Plumb-street be withdrawn at the expiration of three month Mr. Dover seconded the motion, Mr. Hodson moved, as an amendment, that a sub-com mittee be appointed to consider the subject of slaughter houses, relative to their removal entirely out of the town. The slaughter-house in Plumb-street might be oli.ctionable, hut ;o we►e many other slaughter.hunses in the town, and under stick circumstances, and in the present state of the law it would be a herdsbip, he thought, to single out AI:. Clarke as a Mr. McGuffie seconded the aniendthent, and observed that there were other premises of a like nature. those in question. Mr. - Beckwith considered that the whole question should be entertained before any individual was selected as a victim, unles, in the event of a medical officer ileclarin i g that it was a Mr. Robertf,ciiC 4auzhter- were in the tie public would-;11 about the nuisar preseut, but here they were placed town where the poor and werlting classes, resided. The comf,rts of their homes were of far more importance to the han to . the rich, and when their homes were tlina able by what, under the moat favourable or less a nuisance, -was it any rendered disagr circums,tanees, would be more wonder that the jails were filled? finials in their death stru Was it any- wonder, the filling their r.should,go to the: pubic-house, and the son on the strorts, or that the wife and mother should have to look for them w:l4. re they could be found—in. jail? Reformatory in stitutions were no doubt good, awl wel. merited the confidence and approval of the public, but it was i i vain to administer aid in the wroci7 spot—they should go to where the wound was. If the poor man's home were not made comfortable it was in vain o expect that he would sit quietly there.. He was naturally opposed to . the selection of any. • individual, and thus to make" him a victim for tho benefit of all, and on that ground,* though otherwise with feelings of •regret,. he should oppos6 the motion of Mr. Haydock. He thought the subject should be considered as a whole, and that the nuisance, which was also the source of demoralisation, should be removed to the outskirts of the town, where : .it could do no harm to any one, and could have no prejudicial .effect on the homes of the poor and working classes of the community. (Rear, hear.) Mr. A Stewart concurred with Mr. Gladstone. Mr. Dover said that on the general principle he was in favour of the amendment, but, as it could bring no relief for more than one or two years, if so soon, as a special act of parliament should be:obtained for the purpose, he should vote for the removal of any particular nuisance when brought under their. notice. , The medical officer stated that the place was in nowise changed since the license bad been granted. The sewer leading from the slaughter-house was opened within the past week, and no refuse found in it, and furthermore the inspector stated that Mr. Clarke's premises were always kept in the cleanest order.' Mr: Shell thought that a subject of greater interest, or more importance could not be brought before the committee, and he trusted that no effort would be left untried until the nuisance had been abated. They were told that the finances of the borough would not permit them to enter on works such as that involved in the question before them, and which was demanded by the health of the town, and essential, as Mr. Gladstone bad properly, pointed out, to the social welfare of the people ; but when he considered that upwards of £l,OOO had been spent in the opening of St. George's-hall. and nearly £2,000 iWentertaining a royal duke on a late occasion, he did think it disgraceful that a public , body, entrusted, as the corporation was, with the interests awl health of the town, Should . plead inability, on the ground of the state of their finances, to perform an essential duty, lie trusted that the committee would urge the matter on the council, and that they would not be deterred by any such financial argument. The amendment was then pu~ and carried. The original motion was accordingly lost. The sub-committee was then named by Mr. Hodson. With regard to the much-vexed question, of the permission granted to a gentleman to make an area before his house in Albert-street, it turned out on the examination of his le.se OA he was entitled to it as a right. This finale of the matter, which h.d been discussed both in the count-tit and the committee with gloat warmth and energy, caused much amu,e ment. Several letters in reference to ,the Smoke nuisance wcr referred to the sub-committee. HE kLTH OF THE TOWN, The medical officer of repo-ted that in the week ending on the 26:u Jan., 227 deaths were registered in the borough, being 25 less than in the previous week, and 12 less than the corr cted average of the same week of the preceding seven years. Of the deaths 131 were in the parish, and 76 in the out-town hips. The mortality from diseases of the zymotic class was lower than in any week of the preceding six tn , mths.

Of the 227 who died, 129 were below 20 years of age, 73 between 20 and 60, and 25 between GO and 90. The borough engineer, bui!dinz surveyor, an l inspector of nuisances, reported various particulars of the operations in their several dtpartments during the week, from which it appearel that 85 nuisances complained of by inhabitants had been iris'irc:f4, and means taken to reint!ily them, 563 houses in the iii ,l iealthiest districts, containing 2,019 apartments, and 341 cellars, had been put under exti.utination, with the view of their sanitary condition, and 80 lodging houses had also Oxen examined aril repotted upon.
