AN HISTORICAL TALE.

" The roystering habits of -theiii;;;; Monarch, his adventurous
escapades with his reckless associates, and the plots and counter-
plots which existed during the whole of h's reign have rarely been
more agreeably adapted than in th.s interesting tale. The b'ghest
personages of the times play a prominent part in it. They are in-
troduced with judgment, and whilst the incidents are frequent and
striking, they are invariably within the limits of historical facts."—

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 Table 3 has been prepared,
showing the Quarterly Rates of Premium required, at at all ages, for
Annuities to commence at the death of a Parent or Friend, and to
be continued until a child shall have completed (if a boy) 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.

THE MURDER BY POISONING
AT LEWES.

(From a S3cond Edition of the Sussex Advertiser of
yesterday.)
After the examination of several other witnesses the
Coroner summed up, and the jury deliberated for
about ten minutes, and then returned a verdict of " Wil-
ful Murder against Sarah French, otherwise Sarah Ann
French."

The unhappy woman was immediately committed on
the Coroner's warrant tor trial at the next Lewes Assizes.
Shortly after the arrival of the prisoner at the station-
house, she was plaepd in a private room, under female
superintendence, but almost immediately afterwards was
seized with hysterics, which, despite medical aid, con-
tinued with great violence for upwards of two hours, her
condition becoming at that period even still more alarm-
ing. At the hour at which we write (half-past 3 A.M.),
the violence of the attack had subsided, and under the
treatment applied by Messrs. Turner and Macrae, the
unfortunate woman was gradually recovering.

vested on mortgages, stock and 'other assets set forth;
besides 27,8651. surplus assets belonging to the
g( nt,ral fund, also invested; and 10,1441. for the
bankers, also included in the investments. The interest
and dividend income exceeded the sum required to pay
the 365. per share, and would enable the directors to
give a further bonus of 2s. 6d. per share, in addition to
the septennial bonus and the usual dividend, and they
hope from the same source to give a like bonus for the
rest of the present septennial period. The balance of
assurance fund to Dec., 1850, was 3,122,3881.; balance
of guarantee fund, same date, 457,2291., makint
3,579,6171.; to which add receipts for 1851, 405,911/.;
and deducting the payments, left the balance of assets
for Dec., 1851, 3,790,3761.;—thus appropriated, as-
surance fund, 3,3331. 14s. 6d.; guarantee fund, 457,229/.
The CHAIRMAN congratulated the proprietors and as-
surers on the satisfactory state of their affairs. There
had been only one disputed policy since the company
begun, and that was in a very gross case under coun-
sel's advice, as their duty to the public and the company
had succeeded in it, and the company had paid policies
from the commencement to the amount of 2,680,0001.
Mr. Comex felt the report to be very satisfactory.
As to the Irish estates, he bad made inquiries on the
spot which were quite satisfactory, and it was desirable
to purchase unless they could realise by other means.
Mr. WALTON, Master of the Exchequer, strongly
urged on the directors the propriety of an earlier di-
vision of the profits than septennial—as the competition
was now so great, and it was by new policies that ex-
penses were met.

REPRESENTATION OF YOUGHAL.
It is reported that at the next election Mr. John
Pace, merchant of the City, will seek the repre-
sentation of the borough of Youghal. Though a
Roman Catholic, he is a vigorous upholder of the prin-
ciple of civil and religious liberty in its widest sense.
From a pamphlet published by him in 1847, we perceive
that he has long advocated a stamp duty upon foreign
bills drawn abroad, arguing that the revenue thus raised
might be made to bring three millions sterling to the
exchequer. He is also in favour of a small fixed duty
on foreign corn for the sake of revenue; and he adopts
the views of the Irish Tenant League.

TO THE SECRETARY OP THE BRADFORD
REFORM
ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—The explanations of
the resignation of the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, accord exa
first intimations of the public press.
y
In Nov. ISSI the Prime —Minister, in the exercise of
the superintendence acknowledged to be his duty, gave
a general warning to all departments
of the diplomatic
service, to be carefu
ng
which could be con-
strued into interferon ©o nothi with the internal affairs of
France; the object at that time specially in his eye, being
the likelihood of disturbances connected with the elec-
tion of President in 1852.
The conspiracy in France took effect on the 2nd of
December; and in two or three days thereafter, the

announce the assurance of
the " complete approbaone tion" of the English Government
to what had been d by the President.
Read the accounts of the Proceedings one by one, be-
ginning with th e kidnapping of the night, and going
on to the massacres of the day, and at every step reflect
on the portentous mistake, by 1,
wuich to this the " com-
plete approbation" of the English Government was
expressed. It had been so with us, had there been an

The Prime Minister's case would have been trium-
phant, if he had not let it down by dilar_g
in on his be-
lief that the French President meant it all for the best.
Bo did the man that died on W_ ednesdaye It might be
right to preserve a negative ;. but there was no need to
split hairs to set up ahypothetical defence for the greatest
criminal in ancient or modern histerY. The argument
also that no interruption of amicable relations with
France need be feared, because England and France are
both of them wise nations, was singularly ineffective
when all the wisdom in France has just been swept into
the kennel, to make way for the fancies of a Grand
Regulateur, whom no man ever suspected of being wise.
The inference from the whole is, that the people must
take care of themselves. Between tno.se who" completely
approve," and those who confide In good intentions,
be no other resource. If the G
there appears to _ ,,. , overn-

eating humble pie and denying the danger, it will fail as
it always does.

perfect cure ; it speedily removes the accunsulated phlegm,
thereby giving freedom to the respiratory organs. So let the
asthmatic, or those suffering from tightness of breath, diseases
of the lungs, or similar complaints, have recourse to theso in-
estimable Pills to insure a permanent restoration to health. --

------... The Speaker, attited in his State robes and attended
by the Sergeant-at-Arms, Lord Charles Russell, entered
the House at half-past one o'clock, and immediately
afterwards prayers wore read by the Speaker's chaplain.
At this time the House on both sides was tolerably
well filled, and the table being much crowded, many
Hon. Members had a scramble to get their names into the
ballot-box. Mr. Hayter, the Ministerial " whipper-in,"
made his appearance upon the floor about a quarter to two,
and was for some time occupied seemingly in welcoming his
