AUDI'

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Act of Par-
liament, this Company now offers to future insurers Four-fifths of
the Profits, with Quinquennial Division, or a Low Rate of Premium
without participation of Profits.
The next division of Profits will be declared in June, 1855, when
all participating Policies which shall have subsisted at least one year
at Christmas 1854, will be allowed to share in the Profits.
At the several past divisions of Profits made by this Company, the
Reversionary Bonuses added to the Policies from One-half the
Profits amounted, on an average of the different ages, to about One
per Cent. per Annum on the sums insured, and the total Bonuses
added at the Four Septennial Divisions exceeded 770,0001.
FOREIGN RISKS.—The Extra Premiums required for the East
and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the
United States of America, have been materially reduced.
INVALID L►VES.--Persons who are not in such sound health as
would enable them to insure their Lives at the Tabular Premiums,
may have their Lives insured at Extra Premiums.
• LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under 501. .

ASSIGNAIENTS OF POLlClE3.—Written Notices of, received
and registered.
Notice is hereby given, That Fire Policies which expire at Christ-
mas must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with Mr.
SAMS, No. 1, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-Mall; or with the
Company's Agents throughout the Kingdom, otherwise they become
void.

A.D.C. TO THE QUEEN.—One of the vacant appoint-
ments of Naval A.D.C. to the Queen, has been given to
Commodore Charles Talbot (1850), the Commander-in-
Chief at the Cape. This officer, too, has been neglected,
for he has received no consideration for his services
when, as captain of the Vestal, 26, he was the senior
officer, and commanded the gallant expedition against
the pirates at Maluda. He earned, however, a decora-
tion, rather than an appointment, usually bestowed on
the senior captains. We perceive that Captain the Earl
of Hardwicke (1825), has neither, decoration, good ser-
vice pension, nor is he in the list of A.D.C.'s. The
noble lord has richly earned some such service distinc-
tion, and although the appointment of A.D.C. to the
Queen must be with him, from his senior standing,
merely honorary, it would be a just preference on the
part of the Duke of Northumberland to give the gallant
earl one of the vacancies.
PRIZE-MONEY FOR THE SPIDER.—Goode and Co. have
given notice to the late officers and crew of her Majesty's
ship Spider, J. W. Tomlinson, Esq., commander, that
an account of bounties, &c., received for the capture of
the America, on the 20th day of September, 1850, will
be forthwith deposited in the registry of the High Court
of Admiralty.
THE ROUTE OF THE RESISTANCE,—This ship is to con-
vey troops to Jamaica, and is there to take the relief to
the Gambia and Sierra Leone, and then back to the West
Indies ; she is then to return to Portsmouth with inva-
lids.—Plymouth Mail.

moved therh
out in tents on a ridge, since which 'not one has oc-
curred, except of such men as go down to town to
get drunk and lie out all night, and this in spite of rain
every day, which you would suppose would .be very un-
healthy in tents. The fever came from Cayenne. along
Guiana, and up the islands. Rhos reached St. Thomas's ;
and Barbadoes is now healthy. I enclose a list of the
dead, corrected up to the latest date, for I want you to
draw up a statement of the real nature of the case from
st kind,improving. and do this letter, with the names, and send it to the Herald,
as no doubt there will be many exaggerated reports.
Langlands (chief engineer) died happily. Mr. Jackson,
the excellent chaplain to the bishop, is indefatigable in
visiting them. He has taken our chaplain to his house,

are buried with military honours. Two-thirds of the men
are landed at a time to live in tents, with the idea of
preserving their health ; the ship, however, is not to be
Tahlle tshoelydie can,rs, and,The indeed,
officers
cleaned out, so we may expect fresh cases. Our princi-
pal hope now, under God, is the arr.val of the Admiral
who is expected the Ist December, and I should think
we must be ordered home, for we are useless to the
station for want of men. The Calypso arrived to-day,
the Daring on the 19th, and sailed 22d by Captain Hal-
sted's orders to keep out of the infection. She cruises
off the island, and comes in sight every day. Martin,
the engineer, was buried the 26th. II hope this will be
the last officer's funeral, as the remaining cases are doing
well. Ourcamp consists of about 20 tents, in a piece of
ground enclosed by a wall on three sides. They are to
stay till Monday—that is, four days. They are very
comfortable, and no doubt will be healthy, except in so
far as they may suffer from their own excesses. It is
very pleasant on shore, and a beautiful country," &c.
