The investment of money with this Association, which was
established in May, 1844, on a plait peculiar to itself, secures equal
advantages-to the surplus capital of the. affluent, and the provident
savings of the industrial classes of the community, and affords an
opportunity for realising the highest rate of interest yielded by first-
class securities, in which alone the money is employed.
Moneys deposited with the Association, for Divestment, are
exempt from liabilities on account of life contingencies. as well as
the expensts.of management, which are borne by the Lite Depart-
ment, in consideration of the business brought -to it by investment
transactions ; therefore, Depositors enjoy the entire profits yielded
by their capital free from deduction of any bind—an advantage
which no other Institution, eithez.pilbEeor pirate.; holds fortin-tir
can afford, to its members.

Interest or Dividend, is payable half-yearly, in January and July,

Capital Stock, £1.60,000.

The Capital Stock is altogether distinct and separa'e from the
Depositors' Stock in the Investment Department. It constitutes,

MARSHAL EXCELMANS.
The cli.,p!oral)le accident which has terminated the life
of Marshal Exeolmans deprives the French array of al-
most-the last of that illustrious ganeratieo of soldiers
who won their first laurels under the eyes of the Eal-
peror Napoleon, and held the rank of general in the
divisions of the Imperial army. Whatever others may
have had to say or to unsay on the events which have
restored a member of the Bonaparte family to supreme
power in France, General Excelinans had a right to act
upon bis well-known and undeviating fidelity to the
Imperial cause. He was the officer who first rallied his
division after the battle of Waterloo, and it was he who
marched upon Paris, and checked the advance of tile
Prussians by the brilliant skirmish at Versailles, which
was the last incident of the war. During the Restora-
tion no man was more suspected or persecuted than Ex-
celmans. He was tried on one occasion by conrt-martial,
on suspicion of, keeping up a treasonable correspondence
with Murat, who was still King of Naples at that
time, this charge being. only supported by a letter of
civility which was seized by the French police in the
private papers of Lord Oxford, .as he was passing
through France. He was subsequently banished from
France altogether, without trial, and resided for some
time in the Grand Duchy of Nassau. Even after he had
permission to return to his native country, and was
raised to the dignity of a Peer of France by Louis Phi-
lippe, he did not hold the high military appointments or
receive the first military heeours to which he was arni. nently entitled by the length and brilliancy of his ser-
vices, It remained for the nephew of the Emperor to
confer the staff of a Marshal 01 France on this venerable
but vigorous survivor of the Imperial armies; and ac-
cordingly the first nomination to this high honour which
Louis Napoleon had it in his

wherein

they ailmittbd _ which the proposed
alteration in shape would effict upon the Koh-i-Noor,
but expressed fears that any lateral Cimino. would
endanger its integrity. It
.was then determined to sub-
mit the matter to the opinions of practical lapidaries;
1 and with that view the Crown jewellers, Messrs. Gar-
rard, of Penton street, Haymarket, were instructed to
obtain a report from competent persons versed
in diamond cutting. These gentlemen thereupon
consulted Messrs. M. and E. Coster, of Amsterdam
(the diamond cutting trade having been entirely lost to
this country), who, while admitting the accuracy oft he
fears expressed in the report of Professor Tennant and
Mr. Mitchell, nevertheless were of opinion that the
dangers were not so formidable as to prevent the in-
tended operation from being safely effected,
provided the necessary skillof superior artists was
eed. This opinion
was sufficiently encourag-
ing to iudtto
an
order, for the preparation of the
h,
requisite machinery to erected upon the preinloes of
Messrs, Garrard, and accordingly a small steam-engine
of from two to feur-horse po Fields erected, under the
direction of Mr. Joshua of the firm of
Maudslay, Field, and Sons, which was on Friday after-
noon for the first time put into practical operation. His
Grace the Duke et. Wellington having manifested great
interest in the precious gem, so associated with the land
of the East, where his first, and not least glorious, lau-
rels were won, attended several times during the pro-
gress of the preparations, and on Friday honoured the
establishment in question with his presence, to personally
assist in the commencement of the delicate operation
about to take place, this being the largest diamond
cut in Europe for at least ene century. His Grace
was received by the Messrs. Garrard, and the Koh_i_
Noor having been embedded in lead, with the excep-
tion of one small salient angle intended to be first
submitted to the cutting operation, Lis Grace placed
the gem upon the seaife—an horiz -natal wheel revolving
with almost incsleulaule velocity—whereby the ex-
posed angle was removed by the friction, and the
first facet of the new cutting was effected. This,
the first step in the operation, forma but a small
item of progress, as it is expected that the work, under
the hands of the two Datch artists to whom it has been
entrusted, will occupy a period of some eaorehs, it be-
ing, as may be conceived, a work of great delicacy, in-
volving an eqoeq amount of skill and care. The Koh-i-
Noor is intended to he converted into an oval brilliant,
and the two mailer diamonds which accompany it are
to be similarly treated as pendants. The present weight
of the principal gem is 186 carats, and the process now
in course of progress will not, it is anticipated, diminish
in any material degree its weight, while it will largely
increase its value, and develops its beauties. Some con-
versation took place respecting the doubts imputed to
have been cast by Sir D. upon
Brewet'r , the identity of
the Kulai-Noor; but the general opinion amongst those
1 best acq-iinted with the eubieet a. ppeared to be, that it
was impossible for I)huleep Singh to
fictitious diamond, when his constantly wearing it on
state occasions must have rendered it e ( .1 '
to thousands who would instantly have p,r.c_c,. y familiar
detectcd any
attempt at eubsitution. The more probable aseuei t.
was stated to be, that the weight of the '''
P 1311
Mountain of
Light had been snore Orientals M
m somewhat. exaggerated.
We regret to add, that r. Sebastian Garrard,
in ouperintendinm the erection of the machinery, had
misfortune to fall throunh n an aperture in the floor,
thereby breaking of
one the small bones of his lot; ; .
an
accident w' • hn,
.e prevented his being present on Friday
last.

The brief historical sketch of this celebrated diamond
is as"l"rB:—Tho Koh-i-Noor was found in the mines
of GolecJids, and urea presented by the Viceroy of the
Deccan to the Great Mogul, from whose successors it
was mken by Nadir Shah. Oa the assas:sination of
Nadir Shah, it was seized, with his treasury, by
his general, pit
Shah, the ebdalce, who took it
to his native country, AfFghanistan, of which he became
the sovereign. Ills descendant, Shah Suja, when
obliged to fly his country, took it with. him, and throw-
ing himself upon the protection of Bunjeet Singh, was,
by a little torture skilfully applied to the mind and body,
made to surrender it to his gnierous host. Oa RtinjeA's
death it oral inherited by Dhulecp Singh, and on the late
revolt end defeat of the Soikhs 'MRS yielded to the
British Crown by special clause in the treaty then con-
cluded.

A SCENE OF
.110RIZ011 OFF BRIGHTON.
On Monday evening, as twilight tuns slowly deep-
ening lets night, the idlers upon our cliffs were seized
with tie Evilest emotions of tear and terror. Every-
where they might be seen gathering in groups, con-
versing in anxious and hurried tones, and all directing
their gaze, NV painful intensity, towards an ob-
ject just visible on the verge of the horizon westward.
In that direction were dimly to be discerned rising clouds
of smoke, and a red glare reflected on the still waters.
At first this appearance was scarcely perceptible, ; but
it became momentarily more vivid, the smoke thicker,
the flame brighter, and then there ran from one end
of the cliff to the other the exciting intelli-
gence that there was " a ship on fire in the
cilia..im." All was now confusion. Ladies were running
to and fro on the Esplanade, demanding why some-
thing was not done—why semebody was not sent out?
Gentlemen poised their telescopes, and, nautically astute,
were heard to declare that "there was a fire in her hold,

—a terrific fire in her hold." " But why are there no
flames ? " asked the bewildered crowd. " She's
smouldering," answered they with the glasses; "she'll
burst out directly. Now, now. No, that's a signal
of distress run up the mast. See, they're an-
swering it at Worthing. " The crowd could
see anything. They were answering at Worthing.
The flames were bursting out; they could see them now,
and see the coast-guarn rushing down to the beach, put
off their boat, and make for her, while other boats were
following. Oh, shocking, shocking! In the midst of the
excitement the red glare suddenly vanished. " She's
gone down!" shrieked some excited spectator. " She's
gone down," re-echoed far and wide, and the ex-
pressions of sympathy and alarm were piteous.
But suddenly the red light're-appeared. " She's come
up agin," cried some irrevent jester; but no • one
laughed, the scene was too exciting, too awful, for
laughter. " She's making for the pier," was the sudden
cry. Instantly everybody made for the pier. But,
between the Esplanade and the pier stands the
Custom-house, and there to the general indigna-
tion, the imperturable " watch" leant against the
railing unmoved. " What—what ship is that?" asked
everybody at once. ".That?" replied, the guard, slowly
heaving round and pointing. Yes, yes; that out
there." " Oh, that? Why, that's Captain Bullock's
revenue boat a surveyin' the coast, and she's signallin'
to some of our mon to go out to her; that's all. There
was a general expression of thankfulness and relief, a
curse or two muttered against the system of signalling
at night, " just to frighten people," and the crowd dis-
persed.—Brighton Guardian.

EFFECT OF THE EARTH's ROTATION ON LOCOMO-
Tiox.—Mr. Uriab Clarke, of Leicester, has called our at-
tention to an article in the Mechanics' Magazine by him-
self ou the influence of the earth's rotation on locomotion.
It is well known that as the earth revolves on its axis once
in twenty-four hours, from west to east, the velocity of any
point on its surface is greater nearer the equator and less
farther from it in the ratio of the cosine of the lati-
tude. Mr. Clarke says: —" Some rather important conclu-
sions in relation to railway travelling arise out of the viewa,
now taken. The difference between the ratative velocity( l

about twenty-eight miles per hour • and this

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.
NORTH ESSEX. •
BRAINTREE, MONDAY.—'rho :Tiara of Sir J. Tyrrell
and Mr. W. Boresford to represent the northern division
of this county in Parliament was celebrated today by a
procesSion and triumphal entry into the town, succeeded
by a dinner at, the White Hart Hotel.
The procession formed shortly alter eleven o'clock at
a spot distant about a rei7e and a half from Braintree, in
the London road. The Members were mounted on mag-
nificent , chargers, and .w.-re aetrompaoicd by Mr. Du-
cane, the new Member for Maldoo,
and from 80 to 100
of the principal yeomen and farmers of the district, pre-
ceded by a band and numerous blue -flap ancrstreamers.
On entering the town the procession was met by a num-
ber of persons on foot beloLging to the other party,
somenf them displaying the orange colours. This at
once put a stop to the more trines hint portion of the
proceedings. , Hideous yells and groans saluted the ears
of the Ministerislists, and expressions of 4 menacing
character, more especially levelled against Mr.l3eresford,
were freely employed. Stronger methods of conveying
their dislike were even . had recourse to by the crowd,
and stones and other missiles were king in all. direr..
lions. We regret to add that one of these, stones struck
Mr. Beresford a severe blow on the neck as he was dis-
mounting, and that almost immediately afterwards, when
standing at th© window of the White Hart, which faces
the street, another stone was thrown, which shattered
the glass, and struck the Hon. Member on the forehead.,
The shops in the lending thoroughfares at this time
were closed, and there was every appearance of a riot.
The county._ constabulary and police, however, under
Captain MtHardy, were indefatigable in their exertions,
and at length succeeded in restoring something, like
order, although the members of the Blue party were
sainted with tremendous grAtuLaLthey Diode their way
towards the hotel.
Al

Onley occupied the
chair, and cm the right and left of
him were 'Sir W. B. Stelijib, M.P., Mr. T. J. Miller,

There was a charm which he could not describe,
warm feeling which came over them when t and a
this country were administered:by a purely Conservative
affairs .of
Government. Ho could not describe that feeling;nservattet
was beyond his power; but it was something akin to
this—a consciousness that whatever changes and reforms
might be necessary, they were effected by a Conservative
Government in a manner congenial to them all. There
was a courtesy and a kind spirit which attended a Con-
servative Government, and for that reason, if there was
no other, they were attached to it.—(Cheers.) No one
rejoiced more than he at the glorious results of the last
few days—results which told of warm hopes fulfilled and
bright triumphs won.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of the Members
for the northern division of the county of Essex,
which was drunk with three times three and grea
applause.

i3it J. TYRRELL was loudly cheered. He said he re-
gretted that he bad not at his command language suffi-
cient to explain his feelings of gratitude for the high
honour and compliment which they had conferred upon
him. He could, however, with sincerity and from the
bottom of his heart congratulate them upon the splendid
victory which they had obtained. not only in North Es-
sex, but in South Essex, is the boroughs of the county,
in Herte, in Cambridgeshire, in Suff)l's, and in fact in
the whole of the castes counties generally.—(Cheers.)
They had run their opponents close also m Middlesex,
for the clergy, the yeomanry, the tradesmen, and in fact
ell classes of the community bad combined for the one
common object of extracting from the late rulers of the
country justice. They asked no more, and by
Heavens they would be satisfied with no less.—
(Cheers.) That was the object which he end his Hon.
Colleague had at heart, and he should be ashamed to
look them in the free if it were not £O. It was perfectly
true that he had elsewhere described the opposition
that they had met with as a frivolous and contemptible
opposition. He had nothing to explain upon that
head, but he had a right to complain, after the promises
made by the heads of the party, that an opposition had
been started at all. The tail 01 the party, however, be-
gan to wag, and the head soon followed it.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Douh,e-X Haracastle bad alluded to him in a man-
ner that was not very tlottering,, and had Laid that he
was seizetienea in the habit of amusing the House of
Commons. He regretted that he could not return tle
compliment; bat he would tell them what Mr. Hayden
said of his friend Mr. Hardcaetle. Why, he said that
his conversation always sent him to aleep, and that his
speeches gave him the s:ortsch.nehe.—(Laughter.)
Daring the next five years Mr. Hurdcastie'a time would
be spent to great advantage if be eccupied it in improv-
ing the beverage which he called upon the people to
consume; far he was sure that many of those who heard
him, if they experienced a pain in the Laide, would
know the a tarter whence it proceeded, and would know
how to olnlate it for the future—((Treat laughter.)

received with enthusiastic demonstrations. He said—l
honestly tell you that I came hero to-day in a feeling of
kindness and goodwill towards the whole of the electors.
I came here desirous to testify that I am completely for-
getful of every unkindness and every insult which I bare
met with, and that I am a friend to all classes of the
community.—(Cheers.) I did not consider, after the
easy victory we have gained, and after the triumphant
return which has been obtained, that it would be nob!o

to reconcile differences, and to throw myself on the

was applied.—(Loud cheers.) If the lower classes in
Braintree wished to justify me in ' having called them "a
rabble," certainly they have been the people, by their
conduct to-day, who have given a plea and justifinat';e-
a
for that term.—(Renewed cheers.) I came with the inten-
tione of telling them that I firmly believed that theggrtehe

I will stand in placing the real truth
before the House of Commons, and showing, though it
may, he in common parlance, a " respectable" place
whence the money proceeded, whence it really did flow
._(Load cheers)—aud, perhaps, if that line of conduct
is not to be pursued ence or twice, but every time the
county is congregated together at Braintree, it will
bring about this inevitable result, that the clergy, the
gentry, and the great body of the freeholdwill freeholders, not
desire to come all this distance out of their way to be
insulted; and petitions bill flow into the Legislature,
praying that a decent and respectable place may be
found where the Members of the northern division may
be nominated to meet the real freeholders of the division.
Then, if there is any advan'aee gained from
Braintree
being the place of nomination, those who are so reedy to
make a riot, to break the windows, and the beads also,
of their friends, will find those advantages taken from
Braintree and transferred to sem° other place which can
behave itself in a decent and respectable manner.—
(Cheers.)' Now, it is very certain that neither Sir J.
Tyrrell nor myself was present at the declaration last
week. We had good reasons for not being there. Mine
was that I went to record my vote in favour of the Con-
servatives in other counties. But the candidate who
was not returned was present. Mr. lannard, who would
