ORPHANS' AND CHILDREN'S ENDOWMENT BRANCH.

This Branch has been established for the purpose of affording to
Parents, Guardians, and Friends the means of providing, in an easy
and inexpensive manner, a fund for the maintenance and education
of their children, so as to guard against the difficulties and destitu-
tion in which infants are frequently left by the premature deaths of
those on whom they are dependent.
For this purpose an extensive set of Tables has been prepared,
showing the Quarterly Rates of Premium required, at at all ages, for
Annuities 'o commence at the death of a Parent or Friend, and to
be continued until a child shall have completed (if a bey) his twenty-
first, or (if a girl) her twenty-fifth year of age.
Tables have also been prepared, showing the sums for which such
Annuities may be Commuted, when required to assist the child's
outset in life.

This Company having purchased the fee-simple of eight sections,
containing 653 acres of mineral ground and freehold land, at Strath-
albyn, about 30 miles from Adelaide, in South Australia, and within
3i miles of the Murray River, is formed for the working of the valu-
able copper mines which have been opened out and partially worked
there, but to render which extensively productive, more efficient ma-
chinery is required.

Ten lodes have been proved, varying from 4,6, to 10 feet thick, at
depths from 14 to 28 fathoms, and there is no reason to doubt the
Strathaibyn district is a continuation of the same favourable ground
in which are the celebrated Burrs Burra and Kapunda Mines.
The mineral riches of the South Australian district have never
been surpassed in the history of mining enterprise, the Burrs Burra
Mine alone having produced in five years 738,1081. worth of copper
ore.

The following Is a copy of the report of Messrs. Johnson and Mat-
they :

"The sample of copper ore from the Strathalbyn Mines, assayed
fJr Messrs. Browne and Reed, contains 48 per cent. of pure copper.
"Johnson and Matthey, 79, Hatton-garden."
5,000 shares are reserved for the colony.

LIGHTI-PRIZE MEDAL FOR LAMPS.
Which are the best? No one can' doubt, since a Prize was
awarded at the Great Exhibition to Clark's Lamps. They can be
had at all prices. Clark's Diamond Lamps are the best in the warld
for general use. Clark's Vertical Lamp excels and entirely super-
sedes the French Moderator Lamps. Clark's Pearl Candle Lamp
surpaises all other Candle Lamps. All are invited to this unrivalled
display. The lamps generally sold are extremely imperfect, ant
thereby a great public wrong exists. What is more gloomy than a
bad light, and what more joyous than a good one ? To ensure the
only good Lamps, the public must purchase Clark's Lamps, and
have none other. The unrivalled assortment is always on show at

A. NEW DISCOVERY IN. TEETH.-
Mr. HO WARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has la-
trod uced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL
TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so per-
fectly resemble the natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the
originals by the closest observer ; they will never ekange colour or
decay, and will be found 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, arid
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. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication,

THE BRUTAL MURDER OF A. WOMAN
. IN MARYLEBOIVE.
Yesterday the Marylebone Police-court was again
crowded to excess in consequence of its having been
generally imagined that some additional witnesses
would have been brought forward against the man Wil-
liam Styles, for the murder of Emma his wife, in Vic-
toria-mews, St. John's Wood, the particulars connected
with which horrid affair have upon more than. one occa-
sion appeared at some length in our paper.
At three o'clock the prisoner was brought out from
the lock-up room by Mitchell the gaoler, and placed at
the bar. It will be remembered that since the last exa-
mination a coroaer's jury had returned a verdict " That
Emma Styles had been brutally and wilfully murdered
by some person or persons unknown."
Mr. Broughton (to Inspector Porter)—Are you pre-
pared with any fresh evidence? Inspector—No, Sir,
not at present.
Mr. Broughton—Have you still charge of the clothes
which the prisoner wore when taken into custody for
the murder? Inspector—l have, Sir.
Mr. Broughton—Are they complete as they were
then, or has anything since r,been done to them? In-
spector—They are not complete now, your worship;

THE Loss Or THE AMAZON. The public will
learn with satisfaction that the danger to be apprehended
from the use of tarred coal-sacks ota board steam-ships and
railways, from their liability of spontaneous combustion or
accidental ignition, can be entirely removed by the applica-
tion of an invention of a Mr. D. L ee, of Leadenhall-street,
by which coal-sacks are rendered completely incombustible,
nor is it possible to ignite them by fire from any source. The
Roy-al lgail Steam-packet,Company, alive to the neceusityof.
guarding against the possibility of another serious accident
occurring similar to the one by which the Amazon was lost
to their fleet, have, after a strict examination of the merits
of the invention, given an extensive, -order for its adoption in
their ships.

have lately spoken ; the taffetas

general success ; the
pink, brochees in silk of all is
white, blue, or pale

bouquets, forming undulated
bot-
toms of the triple skirts. The festoons round the
upper skirt is flowered over

the moire antique
brooches in silk, mixed with light gold thread, are'
among the most elegant novelties of the season.
The robes Albanaises with velvet stripes stamped

s - - • • 1. Puke charting din-
-ner or- evening oresses. ~ ?:
Velvet brocades the moire ,antiques, with their ex-
quisitely painted bunches of flowers,
are all employed
for dinner dresses.
Ball dresses are composed of e. •
m
eus material ;
among the most elegant may be see, those of gold or
silver llama, tulle, or silk gauze,
tembroidered with
latter silk. We have seen one of the made with
three skirts, embroidered with rosebuds in their na-
tural colours: the two upper skirts raised
at the side
by bouquets of roses, with graceful hanging foliage
of leaves and rosebuds. A bouquet to match on the
body, and light hanging wreath falling across the head
over the shoulders. This toilette 18 suited for a
young lady.
A most elegant toilette, destined soon to be dis-
played by a young married lady, is composed ofwhite
crape, with five flounces embroidered with
white silk
in deep festoons ; between every third festoon
are five rows of narrow satin ribbon, lacing there
them,
terminated by toques, and fastened by an agr.
flounce is ornamented in the same style. 4heA; each
body
is low, and has a volant round the top to -
match the
flounces. The abort sleeves are trimmed in the
same manner. The coiffure is composed
WO
bandeaux bouffants, upon which is placed-sad of
two
roses without leaves. The roses are small
ih of
on the
summit of the head, and separated at distances by
small bows of ribbon to match those of the robe. A
profusion of curled ribbons escape from the
roses on
the bandeaux, and fall on the shoulders.
Another dress in the same style, but much more
effective, is of taffetas d'ltalie, in lieu of
ribbons ofinstead of crape, the
gold gauze, satin, and the fes-
toons pinked.
Among the many splendid dresses worn at the ball
given at the Palace of the Tuileries we remarked the
following :—A robe of sky, blue brocade, the body or-
namented with two torsades of pearls, of different sizes,
fixed on the chest with a brooch of diamonds in the form
of bunch of grapes; the sleeves were trimmed to match,
with smaller torsades and brooches. The skirt was longer
behind than in front, raised on each side in large
plaits, fixed with f diamonds. The '
agrees o coiffure,
composed of a large plait of hair, with pearls placed
over
the bandeaux ; rather pointed in front, in the
Ceres form • an a •
graie of diamonds between the
bandeaux. '

The manteaux with hoods continue in fashion ; they
are generally made of cloth. We have noticed some
in very good taste ; the hood was lined with moire,
and a broad moire ribbon was !Allot(' round-the man-
teaux; others had the hood lined with velvet ; the
revers and trimming round the cloak were also of
velvet. A lady of great distinction has been seen
in a very long Talma of black velvet, trimmed with
a broad embroidery of jet, which formed a pelerine,
pointed on the shoulders and back, each poiht termi-
nated by an immense tassel of silk and jet.
The mantelet-echarpe has already been cited for
its elegance and taste. It is more dressy than the
-manteaux, marking the waste, and descending in
front in square ends. It is trimmed round with a
double row of black lace, the top one being half the
width of the under. Above the lace the mantelets
has an embroidery of jet and silk, representing Greek
designs, or several rows of small stars. The hood,
which forms a large collar, when falling on the
shoulders is trimmed to match, the broad lace forming
a fall when raised over the head. We have seen one
at the Opera of pink terry velvet, trimmed with point
d'Alen9on, and embroidered with white beads and
silk.

The sorties de bal are very, fanciful. Some of
white cachomire, trimmed with beads, silk, and jet,
with magnificent lace or deep fringe. Others of
white or pink satin edged with ruches of guipure
lace or rouleaux of marabouts. They have hoods
and large Venetian sleeves; and shaped as to leave
the sleeve of the robe undisturbed.

The Cogaque is making its appearance: made hi
white velvet, and lined with white quilted satin, it
forms an elegant costume for a young lady ; it de-
scends a little below the hips, and has large pagode
sleeves.

There is but little alteration in the style of bon-
nets this month : capotes with velvet fronts and satin
crowns, t la vieille, with two rows of black lace
covering the crown, and forming a point on the cur-
tain, seem much approved of.
The pouf is the most graceful and piquante style
of coiffure invented since the time of Marie Antoi-

nette. To give an idea of this pouf, we must picture
some bouillons of tulle, forming a headpiece, allow-
ing the plaits and back ribbon to escape behind, fall-
ing very low on the neck. Across the bouillonnes is
twisted a very small wreath of roses, widening as it
reaches the bandeaux, and falling in light branches
over the ears. The blonde pouf is most elegant with
pink satin curled ribbon, banging amongst the curls
of the hair. Two light feathers are laid across the
head, and fall just below the ear. A still more ele-
gant one may be composed of gold blonde, with gauze
ribbon, embroidered with gold, forming toques, with
long floating ends reaching the waist.

A robe of pink satin. One deep flounce of black
ace, with ornaments of jet worked over it; at the
head of the flounce was a wreath of roses with rose-
buds, and at equal distances a
large rose encircled by
rosebuds ; strings of jet beads were thrown carelessly
over the wreath. The low body had a bertha to
match the flounce, with a small wreath of rosebuds
round the top, fastened in front, and falling in grace-
ful branches down the front of the corsage. The
coiffure was composed of roses and jet beads, smaller
than those on the dress. A rather broad plait of hair,
encircled with leaves and roses, also jet beads, rested
upon the summit of the head, descending on each side
over the flat bandeaux to the middle of the cheek ;
the plait is much broader in the middle than at the
sides, and nearly forms a point; it terminates behind
with two thick twists of hair, from which escape two
long curls on each 'side. This coiffure is
quite new,
and is styled a la Diane de Poitiers.
A new and graceful toilet was worn by a yOung
lady of distinction ; it was composed of white taffetas
d'ltalie, under a tarlatine, with narrow gold stripes;
the sipper skirt being rather more than a quarter of a
yard shorter than the under one,
showedplait of gold which was placed on the top of the hem ;
the upper skirt had a hem and plait of the same width.
The low full body was drawn into a narrow band of
gold at the top, and the sleeves were trimmed to
match. A boquet of Parma violets at the waist. The
coiffure was composed of three tresses, one of gold
lace, one of hair, and the other of
violets.
The
narrow
h en.
ban-
deaux were flat ; the plait of gold was placed on the
top of the forehead, then the plait of hair which was
much wider, and the Ceres wreath of violets which
fastened under two large coques of hair placed very
low behind, almost on the neck.
A young married lady, who was much admired,
wore a robe of white moire antique, with wreaths of
flowers so beautifully painted that it might be ima-
gined possible to gather them. The corsage was
low, and square in front ; the same wreath, in much
smaller flowers, was painted on the bands round the
body and sleeves. But the most striking novelty was
the beautiful bouquet of roses, buds, and other
flowers, embroidered at the point of the body, pro-
ducing the effect of a bunch of natural flowers. The
hair was dressed with two large bouffants, traversed
with small detached flowers, composed of precious
stones, harmonising with the colours of the embroi-
dery on the robe.
A robe of light blue taffetas d'ltalie; the bottom of
the skirt was trimmed with a bouillonne of tulle ma-
line, of the same shade, placed at irregular distances
out leaves,halfw up the skirt,
at interval,. vrith bouquets of roses, with-
trimmed to match the skirt. The body was very low,
The bouillonnes formed
a point in front, reaching the
composed of very puffed bande waist. The coiffure
aux, over which was
placed a double string of small roses, without leaves,
the first on the forehead, the other round the thick
plait, which was placed very high on the head.
A young lady wore a robe of pink tarlatane, with
three skirts, with five rows of narrow pink and silver
ribbon - the first skirt only raised on the left side by
a tuft of roses, with long silver leaves. The under
body was of silk, and low, the upper one of tarlatane,
high, with five rows of ribbon round the throat, to
match the skirt. The short sleeves trimmed to match.
The coiffure was a broad plait over the bandeaux, and
a coronet of roses, with long silver leaves, round the
knot behind.
A young married lady was
much admired for the
simplicity and good taste of her toilette. It was a
robe of white crape, with three flounces scolloped
with gold thread. The low bode flounces I_

THE CONFLICT ONBOARD THE QUEEN

OF THE WEST AT LIVERPOOL.
In our yesterday's publication we gave the parti,
culars of a sanguinary collision that had taken place
on Saturday, on board the Queen of the West, Ame-
rican packet-ship, lying in the river Mersey, as they
had then transpired; and that the case had been
transferred from Liverpool to Birkenhead, as the ship
was lying within the jurisdiction of the Cheshire ma-
gistrates.

- On Monday (yesterday) accordingly, the magis-
trates: assembled within the justices' room, Birken-
head, to hear the charge of mutiny preferred by
Captain Mors against his sailors. The occurrence
has created a great deal of painful interest, and the
justice-room was densely crowded with persons
anxious to hear the true state of the transaction,
reports of various colours on the subject prevailing
on both sides of the Mersey since the period of the
affray.
The magistrates present were—Sir Edward Cust,
John Dean Case, Esq., and John Jackson, Esq.
Ten of the sailors were placed in the dock, upon
which,
Mr. Aspinall, barrister, stated that; he appeared for
the crew; that he had a cross•charge against the
captain on the part of the men ; and that he intended
to move for a warrant against the captain.
Mr. Snowball solicitor, appeared for Captain Mors,
and gave an outline of the transactions, concluding
with stating that the captain would be satisfied with
a summary conviction.
Mr. Aspinall objected to so serious a case being
disposed of summarily, but of course he had not the
power of deciding.

Without determining the point, the Bench agreed
to proceed with the evidence, when Mr. Snowball
called on
Captain Mors, who said—l am master of the
Queen of the West, an American vessel, lying in the
river Mersey. On Saturday last had part of crew on
board, when I went ashore to get the Government
agent to clear the passengers. When I came book,
which was between twelve and one o'clock, the mate
was mustering the crew. I told the mate to go below
and look after the passengers, and I would muster the
men. Twenty men answered to their. names. I told
the shipping master to go on shore and get six more

handp,w- hi-cb, including the carpenter's-mate and an
ordinary seaman, would make 28 of a. crew. George
Freeman, one of the crew, then stepped forward and
asked me what I meant by only having 26 men,

when the complement was 30, and swore-he would

not go in the ship. I turned coolly to the man and
told him I had gone to sea with less men, and asked
him if he could do more than one man's duty; to
which he replied " Yes," and that he would have to do
it in this case. I told him to go forward. He did
so. On Freeman joining Alexander Jack and Henry
Downes, they all began muttering. I followed the
men to the forerigging to see whether they would go
to work. When I got forward, Freeman said it was
time to get breakfast. I asked him what be wanted
that he did not go to work, and he told me in answer
to go to bell. Thereupon I took hold of him by the
collar, but before I could say a word, all the prisoners,
particularly Freeman, Jack, Downes, and Fowler,
knocked me down with handspikes, belaying-pins,
&c., and when I was down they knocked me on
the head. I managed to get up, and having all the
officers except the mate below, I ran aft to the wheel-
house and got a revolving pistol. I went forward
again, took hold of Freeman, told him he was my
prisoner, and ordered the others to stand back, or I
would shoot them. Upon this, two of them closed in
upon me, and I fired at Jack. The pistol missed
and the men closed upon me again, armed with hand-
spikes, belaying pins, &c., &c., knocking me down
and cutting me severely all over the body. With
that the mate came along with a cutlass, and com-
menced to strike away at the crew. The second
and third mates also came forward and struck at the
men, to enable me to get up. As soon as I got
up I told the mate to give me his cutlass, and to get
another, which he did, and we then cleared the
decks in a very short time. The Government sur-
veyor, Lieutenant Fryer, was on board at the time,
and went on shore in a steam-tug for the police.
Eight of the crew went on shore in the steam-boat,
whom he gave into custody on landing. I then or-
dered the ringleaders to be secured. Downes was so
violent on being brought aft, that the three mates
could not manage him. I was at the time in the
wheel-house getting my bead dressed, and I jumped
out and lent them a hand. Downes was so violent
that I tied him up to the rigging and flogged him.
Soon after Superintendent Ride came on board, and
took the portion of the crew on board into custody. I
cm a German.
Cress-examined by Mr. Aspinall—l have never
been before the magistrates in this country for ill-
treating my crew, but twice at New York for
ill-
treating paisengers. Did not strike Freeman. B.
fore I went for the pistol the men had struck me.
The principal part of the men were on deck during
p
the occurrence. No man struck me a second time
before I drew the trigger of the pistol.
eTotieca
pistol
was loaded at New York, but there was
1 thought at the time there might be one cap en, and
I fired with the intention of shooting the man if he
resisted.
Only the mate had a cutlass_the second
mate bad a belaying-pie. I sung out to
stingers to assist me, but they did not.
Snowball—The pistol the pas_
By Mr. was a revolver.
There were three caps on,
and three 01 the nipples
s about caps.
I do not recollect
the
particulars of
the affair for which I was tried atNew York. I was
fined one or two pounds.
James P. Risk, the mate, was next examined, and
gave a similar statement to the captain's as to the con-
flict. He detailed in dcl."'
a 'Lion some attacks upon him-
self, the securing of the men, and the flogging of
Downes, which, he stated, the captain did himself.

and fasten with buttons ; the chemisette being com-
posed of frills of English point, or Valenciennes, se-
parated by embroidered insertion. This style is spited
for plain taffetas, black, chestnut, blue, or green.
The velvet used is sometimes black, but appears in
better taste when of the,tsame colour as the dress ; the
skirts are trimmed with from three to seven flounces,
edged with a broad velvet, or three or four narrow
velvets placed at equal distances, which are repeated
upon the skirt between each flounce.
Plain taffetas are used for simple toilette, particu-
larly walking dresses. A simple cloth or cacheadre

broidered collar, with double jabot escaping down the
front, between the buttons of the high body ; a small
cravate, tied with art and taste ; and white em-
broidered sleeves, form am elegant and unpretending
