On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person

Years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even
its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate
his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the
!'argain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as
in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets Inte-
rest fur his money, and in case of death his family receive more than
the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do no
such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment
at, ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any
rand to fly to for aid, all his hat i-earned savings become forfeited to
the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his
more fortunate co-assurers.
Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked
and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be
universally recognised and adopted when the principles are impar-
tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It
confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a lair rate

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

CORPORATION REFORM.

A court was held yesterday, in which the old subject
of Corporation Reform, by the Corporation itself, WAS
the great point of discussion, and expression was given
upon the occasion to a great variety of opinions.
Mr. Deputy PEWTRESS brought up a report of the
Reform Committee. It contained sundry propositions
for the consideration of the court, of the essential
parts of which propositions the following is a condensed
statement :

" That every male of full age, and not subject to legal
incapacity, on engaging for a year and a day a house,
warehouse, counting-house, office, chambers for business,
or shop, and rated to the police-rate to the amount of not
less than 101., be entitled to vote for the election of alder-
men, common councilmen, and ward officers ; that a fur-
ther qualification be required for common councilmen, that
each be possessed of 2,0001., and for aldermen, each be pos-
sessed of 10,000/. ; that there be one day for nomination
and one day for election of all by the constituency, in the
common hall; that the lord mayor be chosen from the
aldermen who have served the office of sheriff; that the
election of lord mayor by the constituency be absolute ;
that the constituency for all Common Hall elections include
those proposed by the bill to vote at wardmote elections, as
well as liverymen ; that the election of aldermen by wards
be without any veto ; that the aldermen be elected septen-
nially ; that if any common councilman or alderman become
bankrupt or insolvont, or compromise with his creditors, or
absent himself from duty for more than six months conse-
cutively, except in consequence of illness or other reason-
able cause, or be convicted of fraud or other crime, he shall
become disqualified, but that in case of debt the objection
be removed by the payment in part of the demand upon
him ; that the election of common councilmen be annual ;
that the number of the eoimnon councilmen be reduced to
150, six to each of the 25 wards ; that the Court of Lord
Mayor and Aldermen be continued as a separate court,
and although for the future the whole of the city cash be
under the control of, and expended by, the authority of
the lord mayor, aldermen, and common council, in Common
Council assembled, the Court of Lord Mayor and Alder-
men have tho control for all purposes connected with the
administration of justice, the police, the gaols, and the
usual expenses of the conservancy of the river Thames.
That the plan of the city be divided into 25 parts as nearly
equal as may be. That all present members of the corpo-
ration should go out of office on a certain day after the
passing of the proposed bill. That the former acts as to
non-freemen be repealed, and that the street tolls be
abolished."

Mr. Deputy PEWTRESS, in moving that the report be
printed and copies be distributed amongst the members
of the court, said that every one of the propositions had
been discussed in committee, in which he admitted there
existed great differences of opinion upon the most essen-
tial points. Indeed, he might say that there was not
one member of the committee who approved of the
whole plan, a fact which was by no means extraordinary
when the extent of the changes was taken into conside-
ration. He wished also to refer the report to the Con-
solidated Committee, with instructions to make what
use of it they might consider expedient with rerard to
communication with the commissioners.
Alderman WIRE seconded the motion. The propo-
sition had been, as every one knew, frequently dis-
cussed in the court. He supposed the only objection
which could be made to the report was, that it came too
late ; but all the important propositions had been made
before ; and if they had been embodied in a bill long
ago, as the advocates of reform had desired, there would
be now no occasion for the interference of a Govern-
ment commission. (Hear, hear.) It had been said
that the court would never reform itself, and there was
a spirit abroad in opposition to municipal institutions,
and in favour of centralisation. Now, since he had
been a member of the corporation, many great reforms
had taken place • and it might not be forgotten that
last year a bill had been sent into Parliament calculated
to accomplish the great object of essential improvement,
and rejected, in consequence of an opposition founded
upon no tenable grounds. (Hear.)
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said, the propositions involved
many points to which he felt the most intense re-
pugnance. The Court of Aldermen was scarcely touched
by any of the recommendations, and he could not think,
for a moment, of allowing that court to exercise any
control over the funds of the corporation. (Hear, hear.)
The difference. of opinion which prevailed in the com-
mittee was a most extraordinary fact, which the chair-
man himself was obliged to acknowledge, and, under all
the circumstances, he felt convinced that it was his duty
to move, as an amendment, "That the report do lie
upon the table, and that the following motion, of which
he had given notice, be substituted for the proposition
of Mr. Pewtress :—That a Royal Commission having
been issued to inquire into the state of the corporation,
it be an instruction to the Reform Committee, appointed
on the 22d day of March last, to take no further pro-
ceedings in the matter referred to it."
Mr. Cox seconded the amendment.
Mr. WILLIAM JONES expressed much surprise at
such an amendment. The court might be assured that
the commissioners would hear of and ask for a document
of so important a nature as that which had been read.
(Hear.) He agreed almost entirely with the proposi-
tions. They contained most excellent matter, and he
trusted that the court would enter as soon as possible
into a discussion on their merits. (Hear.)
Mr. Deputy BOWER said there could be no pretence
for not presenting the report. It was quite evident
that the proposer of the amendment was anxious to
prevent the necessary proceedings of the court, in order
that he might have the opportunity of earwigging the
commissioners, with the view of having it all his own
way. (Laughter, and cries of " Hear, hear.") What-
ever might be the result of the present motion, however,
that very ungracious object would be sure to be 'de-
feated, ds the commissioners were men upon whose im-
partiality and understanding the utmost reliance could
be reposed. (Hear.)
Mr. GILPIN said he was decidedly in favour of the
original motion. There were some things in the pro-
positions which he deprecated, but there were other
things in them which were calculated to open the way
to a complete reform of the corporation. - (Hear, hear.)
Mr. GRESHAM regretted that the subject of reform,
which had been strongly agitated in 1833, had been
allowed to sleep from that time to 1853, and that Mi-
nisters were obliged to acknowledge to all who ques-
tioned theM upon the subject that no scheme of correc-
tion or improvement had been handed to them by those
who ought to have been most active on the subject.
Mr. DE JERSEY begged to be informed what was to
be done with the report when it was printed, if the court
agreed to so absurd a proposition. - Why it was to ,be
discussed ? for the discussions upon the propositions
which had already been discussed over and over again,
and about which all the members of the committee were
at variance, would be interminable. (Hear, hear.) He
wished the whole business to be decided upon by the
commissioners, to whom the members and officers of the
corporation would, of course, give all the information in
their power.

OPT ZINGARI.

This important and benevolent match, which was
announced for Thursday, was commenced yesterday, at
the Oval, when, notwithstanding the unfavourable state
of the weather, we found that many persons had assem-
bled to witness the proceedings, as well as to contribute
towards the testimonial of which this match was the
indication, to old Beagley, one of the celebrated cricketers
of former days. The noblemen and gentlemen of I Zin-
gari, with the Surrey Club and the Eleven of All Eng-
land, arranged a match, the proceeds of which, in addi-
tion to subscriptions, are to find their way into the
pockets of a deserving old cricketer. The untoward
weather on Thursday necessarily caused a postponement
of the play, and although yesterday did not bring any
very great improvement in that respect, yet the noble-
men and gentlemen were determined that the charitable
object which they had in view should not be frustrated
even by the elements ; therefore, the match was com-
menced, and broken off, and resumed as the rain would
permit. It is but an act of justice to state that the
Eleven of England, who give their services gratuitously,
willingly entered into the arrangement.

PRINCE OP WALES YACHT CLUB.

The second sailing match of the season amongst yachts
of this very excellent 4 -,-..onducted club came off yester-
day, but owing to the very heavy rain of the previous
day and gloomy appearance of the morning, was not so
numerously attended as on the first occasion, but still
there was a much larger party on board the clubl steamer
(the Gannett) than could reasonably have been expected.
The following were the competitors :
FIRST CLASS.
Yachts. Tons. Owners.
Undine
Julia
Valentine 8
Irresistible 8
SECOND CLASS.
Ruby
Blue-eyed Maid.
Idas

The prizes were very handsome, and the distance from
Blackwall to Gravesend and back. Mr. Berncastle,
the indefatigable commodore, assisted by Mr. Gordon
lionsec, having seen that the boats were all at their
stations, they made a capital start at 43 minutes after
11, all canting round very prettily—the Julia, first
under weigh, followed by the Valentine and Blue-Eyed
Maid. The wind was free down, but squally, and with
flowing sheets the little fleet pursued their way ; but,
ere their arrival at Woolwich, the Valentine had gone
into the first place, the Julia being second, the Blue-
Eyed Maid third, the Undine fourth. In this order
they continued all the way down, and arrived at Graves-
end in the following order :

hr. min. sec.
Valentine 1 50 12
Julia 1 57 37
Blue-Eyed Maid 2 0 25
Undine 2 1 57
Idas 2 3. 58

There was some heating in the return, but no mate-
rial change, and after acquitting themselves very excel-
lently, the boats finished thus :

Mr. Deputy BENNOCH said it was true that the subject
of reform had been discussed every year, but the friends
of reform were continually thwarted in their object by
such opponents as the gentleman who had just sat down
and his friends. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. ELLIOTT said the metropolis was much too exten-
sive and important to allow a sixteenth part of it to re-
gulate and direct its municipal affairs. There were va-
rious enormous inconsistencies which could no longer be
allowed to remain in operation. It was monstrous that
men elected for life should have command of the funds,
and it was at variance with the principles of the consti-
tution that magistrates should be elected septennially.
Mr. DAKIN spoke in favour of the original motion.
Mr. T. H. HALL said there might be some excuse for
printing the report if the opinions of those who formed
the committee happened to be united in recommending
the various propositions ; but it was obvious that they
agreed upon no one material point contained in them.
He hoped the commissioners would never consent to the
proposition that the two courts should continue to be
separate courts. (Hear, hear.) He also objected,
amongst other things, to such a division of the wards as
was recommended, as being calculated to occasion great
confusion as to the ward charities and ward property.
Mr. Deputy LOTT objected to several of the proposi-
tions..

Alderman HUNTER said the original motion was made
at a very important time, and he could see no excuse for
printing this report.
Mr. NORRIS strongly contended in favour of printing
the report, and ridiculed the idea of keeping such a do-
cument a secret from the commissioners, whose shrewd-
ness would soon detect the object of those who advo-
cated its suppression. (Hear.)
Mr. B. PHILLIPS and Mr. HENRY BLAKE spoke in
favour of printing the report, and Mr. SIMPSON and Mr.
Deputy BEDFORD and others opposed it.
Mr. Deputy PEWTRESS said the court would, if they
refused to print the document, place themselves in a
very unfavourable light before the public. He did not
call upon them to agree to it, but to discuss the impor-
tant matters contained in it. If they withheld the in-
formation contained in it, they might justly be accused
of want of sincerity as to their frequently-expressed wish
for a real and valuable reform. (Hear, hear.)
The Court then divided, after three hours' discussion,
and the question of printinf, and distributing the report
was negatived by a majority of 13.
Mr. H. L. Taylor's amendment was then carried.

Mr. Berneastlo presented the prizes to the owners of
the Valentine, Blue-Eyed Maid, and Idas, with appro-
priate speeches, which were responded to. The refresh-
ments, supplied by Mr. Dowell, of the Bay-tree
Tavern, St. Swithin's-lane, were capital.

THE SOAP DUTIES.—The Lords Commissioners of her
Majesty's. Treasury have directed Mr. Wilson to ac-
quaint the Commissioners of Customs—with reference
to their Lordships' communication directing that no
alteration should be made at present in the Customs'
duties leviable on soap, notwithstanding the resolutions
of the House of Commons of the 3d ult.—that their
Lordships aro now pleased to authorise them to levy the
-new rates of duties on the article in question, as laid
down by the said resolutions, as soon as they shall re-
ceive this communication (dated the 11th inst.), and
their Lordships are further pleased to authorise them to
admit soap imported from Ireland into England and
Scotland, duty free, from the same period. In pur-
suance of this communication from the Treasury the
Commissioners of Customs have caused their Lordships'
orders to be transmitted to their.officers at the
.sevQral
Ports throughout the kingdom for their information and
future government.

NUNDATIONS.

,ANBURY, FRIDAY AFTERNOON.—The country im-
mediately contiguous to this town is completely inunda-
ted, and for miles on the eastern side there is little to
be seen but one vast expanse of water. At the com-
mencement of the week the weather was beautifully fine,
and in consequence haymaking in the neighbourhood
became very general, and in most cases the crops were
ready for being carried on Wednesday evening. Late in
the afternoon of that day, dark heavy clouds made their
appearance, accompanied by the distant roll of thunder
and intermittent flashes of lightning ; and about six
o'clock the rain began to pour down in torrents, which
continued, almost without intermission, until noon on
Thursday. The banks of the Cherwell speedily became
overflown, and before nine o'clock at night the meadows
adjoining were flooded in all directions. The immense
quantity of hay outlying ready for being carried has
been in the majority of cases completely swept away
by the force of the current, besides a great amount
of damage having been done to the uncut grass.
The large cornmill in the occupation of Messrs. J.
and T. Staley is inundated to a greater extent than
has been known for upwards of 50 years, and great
fears are entertained for the safety of the building
in consequence of the pressure of the vast body of water
against it, and .the rush through some fissures in the
walls into several of the lower apartments. The family
of Mr. Luddit, whose house adjoins the mill, was rescued
before the water attained to a great height ; but several
days must elapse before it is accessible. Mr. Edwards,
of the Elephant and Castle Inn, has sustained a severe
loss to his hay crops, which have been almost entirely
swept away by the current, while other oceupants of the
low lands along the banks of the river as far as Edgecote
have likewise been great losers. The line of the Oxford
and Birmingham Railway, for nearly 100 yards on either
side of the station, is completely flooded, and at an early
hour this morning the water was not less than 18
inches deep immediately within the station. It, how-
ever, subsided to some extent before the ordinary day
traffic commenced, so that, fortunately, little incon-
venience has been experienced. At Brackley, about 10
miles from this town, on the Buckinghamshire Railway,
a great amount of damage has been done by the over-
flowing of the Ouse. Skein bridge was rendered
quite impassable, and cattle and sheep were obliged
to be ferried over in carts and waggons as early as Thurs-
day morning. So rapid was the flow of water in this
neighbourhood that it rose no less than 18 inches in
about half an hour, sweeping sheep and hay away in its
destructive course. Mr. Edward Taylor, farmer ; Mr.
Walsh, Wheatsheaf Inn ; Mr. Jones, surgeon ; and
many others, have suffered very severely by the inunda-
tion, and there is too much reason to believe that the
hay crops in this neighbourhood will be entirely worth-
less. Mr. Smith, of Radstone, had a valuable horse
killed by the lightning on Wednesday night. For seve-
ral miles in various directions the country presents the
curious appearance of one vast lake, and in many places
the water is rushing along with fearful rapidity. At
Buckingham the river Ouse is much swollen by the
heavy rain, and a great quantity of the low meadow
land is under water, but we have not heard that any
material damage has been done, except to the hay crops,
which, as in the case of Banbury and Brackley, are
rendered nearly valueless.
CARMARTHENSIIIRE.—The severe storms which have
burst over the face of the country have been the source
of much injury in many parts of South Wales, and in
Carmarthenshire great damage has been occasioned.
The Vale of Llandowror, on the western side of the
county, has been completely swept of hay, sheep, and
those articles which could be carried away ; and this
damage was inflicted in the course of a few hours, in
consequence of the heavy falls, or rather deluges of rain,
having so completely surged the streams that they over-
flowed their banks, and spreading far and wide caused
great destruction. At Llandowro, where the main road
from Carmarthen to Haverfordwest crosses the bridge,
the waters accumulated until they capped the parapets,
when the structure gave way, thus cutting off the com-
munication, and the down London mail, which came up
shortly after, was unable to pass, the mails and passen-
gers taking a long round to cross. The consequence
was that the mail was two or three hours late at 'Pem-
broke and Haverfordwest. The Towy was also much
flooded, and in Pembroke the rains have been very
heavy, with much thunder and lightning.
LEICESTER, July 15.—From 1 ' o'clock yesterday
till after 12 at noon there was an incessant fall of heavy
rain in this neighboorhood, and the result is that the
Soar and its tributaries have overflowed their banks and
inundated the adjoining streets, gardens, and meadows
to a very considerable extent. The overflowing in Lei-
cester commenced about 4 o'clock this morning, and the
water rose so rapidly that in the Braunstone-gate and
adjoining streets it was speedily from two to three fcct
deep. The inhabitants of houses in the neighbourhood,
in Great Holme-street, Watts's-causeway, and various
other streets were unable to descend from their bed-
rooms without stepping into water of the depth just
mentioned, and the houses in the Pingle, and some other
places near the Soar, were also flooded. The factories of
Messrs. Harris and Sons, Burgess and Podd, Rawson,
Rust, and several other manufacturers, have been invaded,
so that the machinery cannot be set in motion, and some
hundreds of hands are unable to get to work, the gar-
dens on the western side of the town are literally de-
stroyed, and large quantities of hay have been carried
off from the meadows. Mr. Birkley, of Woodgate, in
this town, has lost the whole product of 18 acres, and
in numerous instances, the crops of smaller inclosures
have been carried away. The street from the West-
bridge to the Hinckley and Narborough road is covered
to a depth of two or three feet, and a number of owners
of horses and carts are driving a brisk trade in carrying
passengers through the water, a distance of some 300 or
400 yards, at a penny each. At Loughborough the
Wood Brook overflowed last night, and inundated all
the low-lying part of the town in its neighbourhood.
The damage to the hay crops in the valley of the Soar,
in the neighbourhood of this latter town, is more exten-
sive than at Leicester. From various villages in the
county through or near which brooks flow, the reports
are very similar, the meadows and fields are inundated,
and the hay is "swimming away." About 11 o'clock
this morning the water began to recede in Leicester,
and in the course of an hour and a half it had lowered
two inches. The weather is fine.

LANDSLIP AT BRISTOL.—Owing to the heavy'rains of
Wednesday and Thursday a large portion of land at the
extremity of Brandon-hill, which overhangs Jacob's
Wells, Bristol, gave way on Thursday morning and fell
down on the houses beneath, causing a very considerable
destruction of property. At the back of those houses
are courtledges, and also behind that a wall had been
erected for the purpose of protecting them from the
floods from the hill, but the rain fell in such tremendous
torrests, and gained so much force in descending the
hill, and, being augmented by some waters from a super-
surface drain in connection with the National Schbols,
which are situated in the immediate ,vicinity, that it
overbore the wall and carried it completely away for the
length of six or seven houses. Some of the walls of the
houses were shattered, the courts were considerably
damaged, and the windows and doors were smashed in,
to the great alarm of the inhabitants. The amount of
the-damage cannot yet be ascertained, but, it, must be
very considerable. At Bedminster,' near Bristol, the
rivulets have overflowed their banks, and placed large
tracts under water almost to the hedgetops, and, in many
places, fields of corn, and more especially barley, have
been laid by the violence of the storm.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Yonic, JULY 14.

TRIAL OF RAILWAY DIRECTORS FOR MANSLAUGHTER.

Harry Stephen Thompson, George flicks Seymour, sand
Samuel Priestnzan, directors of the York and North
Midland Railway, were charged with the manslaughter
of Joseph Sykes and John Thompson, at Brayton, near
Selby, on the sth of May last.
The defendants were not placed in the dock, but ap-
peared in the magistrate's gallery. The grand jury
ignored the bill against them, and Mr. Milner, M.P.,
the foreman, stated to the learned judge that it was
their unanimous opinion the death of Sykes and Thomp-
son had arisen owing to the bad state of the permanent
way. The directors were arraigned under the coroner's
inquisition for the offence stated, to which they severally
pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Hall stated that the charge instituted against the
directors arose out of an accident which occurred on the
Leeds and Selby Railway, on the sth of May last, the
result being that two of the servants of the company lost
their lives. The cause of the death of the deceased was
carefully and patiently inquired into before the coroner's
jury, who after mature deliberation, returned a verdict
of manslaughter against the directors of the railway.
The case had also received the anxious attention of the
grand jury, and they had thrown out the bill preferred
before them. After carefully going through the whole
of the facts, they had come to the conclusion that no
culpability or negligence rested against the directors. If
it should eventually turn out that other parties were to
blame for the accident, the guilty persons would not be
suffered to escape with impunity, as further inquiry
would be made on the subject.
The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty, when
Mr. Knowles said he and his two learned friends ap-
peared on behalf of three directors, but from the course
the case had taken it was hardly necessary for him
to make any observations. The grand jury, however
having made some remarks in reference to
of the
acci-
dent, which they attributed to the defective statefor him to
permanent way, he considered it necessary
made by the
make an observation or two. The remarkb the°wey

had been fully weighed
giving their opinion.
He gathered from what had been
stated that it was considered necessary for the interests
of public justice that the matter should be further in.
vestigated in an authentic manner.
Mr. Knowles said the directors, he was sure, would
throw no obstacles in the way of such an inquiry.
Mr. Justice Erle stated that the directors were not
responsible, but the grand jury had come to the conclu-
sion that some one else was responsible, and if their
opinion should turn out to be well founded, the matter,
as he understood it, would be put in train for a prose-
cution.
The three directors then left the court.

PA.ULIAMENTARY PAPERS TO MECHANICS' INSTOLT;
TlONS.—Yesterday a select committee of the House of.
Commons reported. on the question whether Parliamen:
tary.papers should be supplied to literary and mechanics'
institutions. They recommend a supply on a moderate
scale at first,
