GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITIES.
—The regulations for the insurance of lives with the
Government and the purchase of Government annuities
have been issued. In order that inquiries may be made as
to the health and real age of the applicant he is to be re-
quired to give referees—two respectable householders and
his employer. On the insurance of a life there may also be
a medical examination. Insurances will be void in case of
death by the hands of justice or by suicide. If the insured
shall, after insuring, follow certain hazardous occupations,
or go beyond the limits of Europe, or enter upon active ser-
vice as a soldier, he must pay higher premiums, and ob-
tain leave from the Postmaster-General. Persons insuring
their lives or purchasing a future monthly allowance may
make their payments even weekly ; the amount insured
will be paid over immediately after proof of the death. Life
annuities or deferred monthly allowances purchased are to
bo free from all taxes. A life policy will not be exempt
from probate duty. To cover costs and charges, a person
purchasing an annuity, payable half yearly, may be re-
quired to pay a fee of is. for every £1 of annuity purchased.
Tho business is to be conducted at post-offices and at those
offices the forms to be filled up and an abstract of the re-
gulations may be procured as soon as they shall be ready.
THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS AND
VESTRY OF ST. MARYLEBONE.—The committee of
the vestry of St. Marylebone, appointed to consider the
carrying out of the Thames Embankment contract by the
Metropolitan Board of Works, yesterday presented a report,
in which it was stated, " Your committee have with much
care and attention examined into the several charges
brought against the Metropolitan Board of Works in refer-
ence to the carrying out the contracts for the Thames
Embankment (and various other charges in connexion with
the main drainage works), and your committee is of
opinion that the Metropolitan Board of Works by their
answers (and the evidence by which these answers have.
been supported) have fully refuted all and every charge
made against their proceedings, and that the Metropolitan
Board of Works is entitled to the full confidence and sup-
port of the vestry.—GEo. H. BACHITOFFNER, Chairman."—

LAW INTE,

This Day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN RE 1. LEIGH, LATE POLICE MAGISTRATE AT WORSHIP-

STREET.

To-day was appointed for judgment in this matter, which
has created considerable interest in both legal and com-
mercial circles. It will be remembered that the opposition
to the bankrupt has been extremely marked, so that the
judgment of the acting commissioner has been looked for
with some anxiety. It had been announced that the judg-
ment khad been postponed upon the application of the
bankrupt, and Mr. Beard received a letter this morning
from Mr. Registrar Winslow to the effect that this really
was tho case. Our reporter has been informed that what-
ever way the result of the judgment be, it is the intention
of some of the creditors to bring the matter under the
notice of the benchers.

DIVORCE COURT.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.)
FRADIN V. FRADIN AND DEGLOS.

Additional evidence as to the identity of the respondent
in this case, which was reported in yesterday's Sun, was
adduced, and the court made a decree nisi with costs
against the co-respondent.
London, England, 1865-03-04

BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading
of this bill.
Lord ST. LEONARDS expressed his opinion that the
County Court Judges were not competent to give decisions
in equity, as they were simply common law lawyers;
moreover they had not the machinery at their disposal to
give equitable decisions. He objected to the bill because
it proposed to give too much power to the County Court
Judges, and also that by one of its provisions a sum exceed-
ing a million and a half of money would be taken from the
suitors' free fund. This fund, he contended, belonged to
the suitors in. the Court of Chancery generally, and it
seemed to him highly objectionable that any portion of the
fund should be devoted to other than the purpose for which
it was intended.

Lord CRANWORTH declared himself favourable to the
principle of the bill, but was of opinion that the measure
-would require considerable modification in committee.

Lord CHELMSFORD thought the object of the bill a
desirable one, but feared there would be great difficulty in
carrying it out.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he was not astonished
at the opposition of Lord St. Leonards, which, he believed,
arose from a wish to amend, and not to destroy, the bill ;
but he was not at all afraid that the county court judges
-would not prove themselves fit to discharge the equitable
functions proposed to be imposed upon them. These duties
would be very simple, and required little more than good
sense and a knowledge of the general principles of law.
The noble and learned lord referred to several returns of
the costs of suits in Chancery for trifling amounts, and
-which showed that the expense was so great as to be tanta-
mount to a denial of justice ; thus fully establishing the
necessity for this measure.
The bill was read a second time, and their lordships ad-
journed.

THAMES.

AGGRAVATED AND UNMANLY OUTRAGE. - William
Thompson, a seaman, who has beon in custody a fortnight,
was brought up on remand before Mr. Partridge, charged
with savagely assaulting Mary Rasin.
Mr. L. Lewis, from Lewis and Lewis, Ely-place, de
fended the prisoner.
It appeared that the complainant was an unfortunate
woman in more senses than one, and certainly in the annals
of brutality no female ever sustained more serious injury.
Her head, face, and body were covered with bruises and
contusions. She met with the prisoner a fortnight since,
and they were carousing at various places for some time.
She took him home to her lodgings, No. 4, Bett's-street, St.
George-in-the-East. The prisoner's shipmate, who was
also accompanied by a woman, went to the same house.
A most disgraceful quarrel took place between the com-
plainant and the prisoner, and he threatened her, making
use of fearful language. He then committed a murderous
assault upon her, beat her about the head and face with his
clenched fists, and caused her to bleed copiously from the
nose and mouth, and then knocked her on the side of the
head, on the eyes, on the right arm, and on the body until
she was perfectly insensible. She had been under medical
treatment in the hospital since the outrage was committed
upon her, and was in a deplorable condition. Both parties
were the worse for liqour at the time, but not drunk. It
was admitted on both sides that the prisoner gave the
woman is. and a neckerchief only, and that she had not
attempted to rob him, as women of her class generally did
when sailors were their companions.
_

In defence it was urged by Mr. Lewis that both parties
were equally to blame, and that the prisoner, who was not
quite sober, thought he was beating a man.
Mr. Partridge said there was no question about the
origin of the quarrel, but that did not justify the prisoner
in beating and mutilating the woman in such a savage
manner. The unfortunate wretches who paraded our
streets were entitled to the protection of our laws, and not
to be maimed or killed by brutal ruffians. The prisoner
had committed a savage and dastardly assault on the com-
plainant—it was an outrage of the worst description, and
he felt bound to inflict a severe sentence, which was that
the prisoner be imprisoned in the House of Correction for
six months and kept to hard labour.

SEIZURE OF NEUTRAL SHIPS BY CONFEDERATE

at the hands of the master shipwright's staff, in
order to discover a serious leak in the locality of her
stern-post. She will probably be detained in dock
for some days.
The Government have now determined to arm the
whole of the cavalry with carbines on the breech-
loading principle, and have selected in the Westley
Richards' arm as the arm of the service. Its weight
is about 61b., and the barrel, which is rifled on the
Whitworth principle, is 20 inches in length, and is
sighted up to 800 yards, at which distance it makes
most wonderful practice. It has also a hardened
projectile, which gives it greatly increased power of
penetration. Two thousand of these arms are
already in the hands of the troops ; they are much
approved, and 20,000 more are now in course of
manufacture at Enfield ; they will be finished this
year. 2,000 infantry muskets on the same principle
are also being manufactured for the Government by
the inventors, Messrs. Westley Richards and Co., of
Birmingham ; these will be served out to the infan-
try this year for an extended trial. This arm, like
the carbine, is rifled on the Whitworth principle,
and is sighted up to 1,000 yards, at which dis-
tance it gives an average mean figure of merit under
2ft. This principle of breech loading and its ammu-
nition have been before the public for the last seven
years; in the course of that time it has been thoroughly
tested by the Government, and has been supplied to
upwards of 3,000 private persons over all parts of
the world for sporting and target purposes. It has
become an article of consumption for which there is
a steady and increasing demand, so that the Govern-
vernment incurs no risk of failure.

At the time a report was in circulation that the
Lord Panmure, Ordnance steamship, was ashore on
the Wexford coast she was safe in Dublin harbour.
The vessel unfortunately grounded was the Bala-
klava, as stated in The Sun of Monday last.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Commander T. A. De Wahl, to
the Cordelia, vice Commander J. B. Scott, inva-
lided ; Commander T. T. Bullock, to the Steady,
vice the Hon. W. C. Talbot, appointed to the Fawn;

OXFORD UNIVERSITY BOAT RACES.

OXFORD, Friday.
The first of the annual eight-oar torpid races took place
on the Isis this afternoon,when, notwithstanding the banks
were under water, the votaries of aquatics mustered in great
force, and accompanied their respective college boats from
Iffiey. The following colleges wore represented in the order
given.

1, Exeter ; 2, Brasenose ; 3, Christ Church ; 4, University;
5, Corpus Christi ; 6, Balliol ; 7, ; 8, Magdalen ;
9, Trinity ; 10, Pembroke ; 11, Oriel ; 12, WaLlham ; 13,
Worcester ; 14, Lincoln ; 15, St. John's.

Exeter rowed proudly on at the head of the river, and from
the distance Brasenose were behind them there seems little
chance of their being bumped. University caught Christ
Church at the Willows, Pembroke ran into Trinity at
Harvey's Barge, Wadham secured Oriel at the same spot,
and Lincoln bumped Worcester near the Gut.
The second race will take place this afternoon, and as the
floods were going down fast it is hoped the banks will be
sufficiently dry to enable the general public to witness the
interesting racing.

tion to the subject of the management of the British

THE WATERWORKS BILL.

tion of life and prtperty to be inserted in Waterworks Bill

they would apply to existing waterworks reservoirs.

Mr. M. GIBSON said he could not at present give any
definite answer to the hon. member, but he would do so in
a few days.

SHERIFFS' COURTS (SCOTLAND).

Mr. BAXTER asked when the returns relative to the
business transacted in the Sheriff courts in Scotland, or-
dered by the house on the Gth June, 1864, would be laid

The LORD ADVOCATE could not state exactly when
these returns would be ready for presentation to the house,

UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

The following are the crews in training at the respective

C. E. W. Tottenham, Christ Church (cox.)
CAMBRIDGE.
1. Mr. 11. Watney, St. John's
2. Mr. M. H. Beebee, St. John's
3. Mr. E V. Piggott, Corpus
4. Mr. R. A. Kinglake, Trinity
5. Mr. D. F. Steavenson, Trinity
6. Mr. W. R. Griffiths, Trinity
7. Mr. G. H. Borthwick, Trinity
8. Mr. C. B. Lames, Trinity
Mr. C. Cox, Trinity (cox).
We believe that Mr. Coxe, in the Oxford boat, has been 'l
changed, but our latest advice does not give us the substi-
tute; the crew are very fine, and rapidly improving. From
Cambridge we learn that Mr. Beebee resumed his place last
Saturday, Mr. Marshall retiring, and there has been no
alteration in the crew since. They have not yet commenced
their trips to Clay Hive, but will probably do so in a few
days. It is generally admitted that there is a gradual im-
provement in the rowing, the stroke being longer than
formerly, and the time and swing characterised by a greater
precision. It is intended that they shall try their skill in
an outrigger in a few days, and they will probably then
take their rows over the broad reach at Ely. Betting is
5 and 6 to 4 on Oxford, but the Cantabs' friends are very
sanguine.

Another Night and Morning of Fires.

A fire of considerable magnitude, and attended with a
great loss of property, took place about half-past two
o'clock this (Saturday) morning, in the extensive premises
belonging to Mr. Thomas Fryer, a cabinet-maker, carrying
on business at Nos. 12 and 13, Hoxton Market. The dis-
covery was made by a police-officer of the N division, who
lost no time in arousing the inmates and sending off for
proper assistance. Fortunately the whole of the occupants
got out of the buildings in safety, although at one time
driven back by the flames. Conductors Isles, Green, and
Puzey quickly attended with the Royal Society's escape,
and were preceded by Barton, with the parish engine, from
Shoreditch. Numerous engines of the London Brigade,
I with Messrs. Shand and Mason's land steamers, followed
in rapid succession. Under the direction of Capt. Shaw,
Mr. Bridges, the foreman of the district, and other officers,
the firemen went to work, and being aided by a good
supply of water they were enabled to throw copious
streams upon the conflagration, but the fire continued to
rage most furiously. The parish engines, by conveying
the hose up the fire-escape, with the assistance of the
brigade, managed to throw the water upon the principal
seat of the conflagration ; but it was not extinguished
until the whole of the workshops, the valuable contents,
and the dwelling-louses were destroyed. The origin of
the fire is enveloped in obscurity.

A fire likewise happened in the premises of Mr. Page,
lithographer, No. 47, Basiughall-street, City. The dis-
covery was made by police-constable Bernard, 165, of the
City force, who at once sent off for condUctor Brigs, who
attended with the Royal Society's escape and several
engines of the London Brigade, and the fire was confined
to the second and third floors. The origin of the fire is
as yet unknown.
About a quarter before six o'clock this (Saturday) morn-I
ing a fire was discovered by police-constable,.2B4, of the
M division, raging in one of the arches of the great Eastern
Railway, tenanted by Mr. Martin, a timber dealer. Con-
ductor Isles having arrived with the Royal Society's
escapes and numerous engines of the Brigade, and those
of Shand and Mason having followed, the fire was happily
prevented from extending to the large stabling and timber
yard adjoining.
Another fire took place at No. 76, Bunhill-row, occupied
by Mr. Carbine, a boot maker, at which the firemen, the
engines of the brigade and parish, and the Royal Society's
escapes attended, and owing to the exertions of all present
the flames were confined to the lower portion of the build-
ing.

Mayne was present for some time yesterday witnessing the
watchesß
recovered while he was there. The movements of roost of
the watches and the gold cases of a few have been more or
less injured by the immersion. One of the two found yes-
terday having a tight-fitting flat crystal was very little
injured indeed in comparison with the other, the dial and
hands of which were protected by an ordinary lunette glass
that had been broken in the fall of about 60ft., or by fric-
tion with the shingle in the bed of the river. The search
is being made within an area of about 20ft., and under the
supervision of Superintendent Durkin of the F division,
and Inspector Evans of the Thames police. The diver de-
scended eight times yesterday in all, on one of which he
remained clown 19 minutes and on another 16i minutes.
On one occasion when he had been down only 31 minutes
he brought up one of the watches, but ho had been down
19 minutes before he found the other. In all 65 watches
have now been recovered by Mr. Walker, two from the
mail David Roberts, now in custody, who was arrested by
two of the city detective police while he was in the act of
disposing of them, 52 of which were found in the posses-
sion of the six other prisoners who were apprehended on
Friday last, and the 11 found by the diver. Altogether,
including gold chains, watches, and other articles of jewel-
lery, he has recovered about £1,500 worth of the stolen
property.
