Mr. KING then said, that as an old member of the as-
sociation, he begged leave to move the adoption of the
report. It was, he considered, one which demonstrated
that the company was progressing satisfactorily, and he
thought that the fact of the company having, from new
business, received upwards of 4,0001. in the course of
the last year of their operations, was sufficient evidence
of the validity of the principle of indisputability.
The motion, having been seconded, was unanimously

agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN having explained that, according to
the provisions of the deed of settlement, himself and
Messrs. Bevan and Parnell retired from the direction,
they were unanimously re-elected, as were also the re-
tiring auditors,
Mr. C. STEED then moved a vote of thanks to the
directors, the medical officer, manager, secretary, and
other officers.
Mr. MURRAY, in seconding the motion, said that he
was of opinion that they had now received sufficient
evidence of the efficiency of the principle of indisputa-
bility. He had lately brought under his attention the
whole subject of life assurance, and the result of his
study was, that he regarded mutuality, indisputability,
and annual division of profits, as the principles essential
to its existence. The advantages of the mutual system
over the proprietary were universally admitted ; but the
same admission was not universally made as to indis-
pfouutialbdailtiitoyn.
ofThe
lifemaesmsubrear:coef
wsociety
thatknewat t
v:
the
h
value
of it, and they should use their best exertions to main-
tain it. For his own part., he considc!red it as the
they breathed was to animal existence ; if they had it
not they died. They should then not rely upon what
others did, but exert themselves to promote the estab-
lishment of a principle so useful. He
had found that,
in other societies, there was now
much
regret that they
had not started upon that principle, and that fact was in
itaelf sufficient to show its advantages. With those few
remarks he begged leave to second the motion, again
luiprte.i2ing upon the members that it was their own inte-
rest to promote the business of :the company by making
the principle upon which it was founded generally under-
stood.
The proposition was then unanimously agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN and manager acknowledged the com-
pliment upon their own part. and that of the other offi-
cers ; and a vote of thanks having been passed to the
chairman, the proceedings terminated.

RUSSIA.

The St. Petersburg Tournal of the 17th states
that a fresh condition has been imposed on Russian
subjects who desire to travel to foreign countries,
namely, that they must not owe money to the Im-
perial Bank. The reason of this arrangement is
that of late the Imperial Bank has become prin-
cipal mortgage-creditor of all Russia.
The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort announces
from Moscow that the cholera has broken out in
that city. The hospitals have been placed at the
disposal of the patients in eight districts. The
number of persons attacked had not been ascer-
tained. The cholera continued at St. Petersburg.
On the 14th there were 35 new cases-20 deaths
and 13 cures.

GREAT ROWING MATCHES.

Three great boat-races amongst gentlemen amateurs
of position in society, and celebrity in the art of rowing,
took place yesterday, and attracted a great assemblage
of spectators.
The first on the list was between Mr. Oswald Diver,
of Great Yarmouth, and Mr. H. Playford, for a silver
cup ; distance, from Putney t© Mortlake.
The various boats accompanying the race having taken
their stations, the gentlemen started at a beautiful pace.
After the first two or three strokes, Mr. Diver began to
take the lead, and off Messrs. Searle's had drawn him-
self more than his own length clear. Mr. Playford
rowed very gallantly throughout, but never could change
the fortune of the day, and eventually resigned near the
conclusion of the stipulated distance.
Immediately after this start, Mr. J. Payne and Mr.
Kippinghall came to their stations at Putney-bridge, to
row the same distance as the previous pair, for a similar
prize. Mr. Payne took the lead, and although, as
before, the opponent tried his utmost to work out of the
"stern sheets," he was unable, and Mr. Payne won by
two hundred yards.
Messrs. Knight and Price were the competitors in the
third race, the former being the Norwich champion, and
the latter a celebrated London amateur. The course in
this race was the same as the others, but reversed, the
men rowing down from opposite the Ship at Mortlake.
It was one of the greatest races ever witnessed but was
undecided, owing to a foul occurring when within sight
of the goal. Price had a fine lead at the go off, which
he cultivated into four lengths at one part of the distance,
but the beautiful lasting, not to say improving, qualities
of Mr. Knight, brought them scull and scull at last,
when a barge being in their course a foul occurred ; to
determine which under its peculiar circumstances is a
matter of considerable difficulty, owing to the gentlemen
being so pressed and surrounded by boats. The umpire
has reserved his decision.

TURKEY.

"We understand," says the Patric, "that intel-
ligence has been received from Broussa, which
states that the town was perfectly tranquil. The
movement which took place there, and of which the
details are not yet arrived, is said to have been un-
important, and totally independent of politics."
We read in the Akhbar of Algiers :—" A column
lately left Biskara to establish itself on the Oued
Itel, from whenceit pushed forward to the south-
ward as far as Dzioua, a small Saharian town,
which derives its sole support from supplying water
to the caravans which go from the Oued Righ into
the Nizab. This recbunoisarice, which was prished
further than any which has yet been made into the
Sahara, was executed without firing a shot, and
the column returned to Biskara at the end of last
month, having only had to suffer from the dust
and the sudden changes in the temperature, which,
though very cold in the night, became oppressive
from heat in • the day. Notwithstanding these in-
conveniences, the health of the troops was perfeCtly

Stratford de Redcliffe had a long conference with
the Grand Vizier Mehemet Ali. He afterwards
was received by the Sel.tan, to whom he presented
an autograph letter of Queen Victoria and made a
speech, in which he pointed out to his Majesty the
perilous position of the Ottoman Empire. The

of late had numerous conferences amongst them-

It also announces the appointment of a central
commission for the regulation of races and race-
courses. It will be chal ged with the decision of
claims or contests which local commissions may
have considered it their duty not to determine. It

RUSSIA.

The St. Petersburg Journal of the 17th states
that a fresh condition ha-s been imposed on Russian
subjects who desire to travel to foreign countries,
namely, that they must not owe money to the Im-
perial Bank. The reason of this arrangement is
that of late the Imperial Bank has become prin-
cipal mortgage-creditor of all Russia.
The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort announces

tained. The cholera continued at St. Petersburg.
On the 14th there were 35 new cases-20 deaths
and 13 cures.

BANKRUPTCY COURT-(THIS DAY.

Mr. CoMmissioner Fonblanque was the Commissioner
of the day, but the only case for the morning was pro
forma.

IN RE WEST AND WEST.
These bankrupts, brothers, had carried on business at
Donnington, as drapers, and absconded a short time
since with considerable property, a great portion of
which, however, was recovered through the exertions of
Russell, one of the "detectives," and the bankrupts were
apprehended. A petition has been filed to supersede the
proceedings in bankruptcy, on the ground that one •f
the bankrupts is a minor. A day was appointed for
argument in the case.

TURKEY.

"We understand," says the Patric, " that intel-
ligence has been received from Broussa, which
states that the town was perfectly tranquil. The
movement which took place there, and of which the
details are not yet arrived,is said to have been un-
important, and totally independent of politics."
We read in the Akhbar of Algiers :—" A column
lately left Biskara to establish itself on the Oued
Itel, from whence it pushed forward to the south-
ward as far as Dzioua, a small Saharian town,
which derives its sole support. from supplying water
to the caravans which go from the Oued Righ into
the Nizab. This reconnoisance, which was pushed
further than any which has yet been made into the
Sahara, was executed without firing a shot, and
the column returned to Biskara at the end of last
month, having only had to suffer from the dust
and the sudden changes in the temperature, which,
though very cold in the night, became oppressive
from heat in the day. Notwithstanding these in-
conveniences, the health of the troops was perfectly
satisfactory.
A letter from Constantinople, in the German
Gazette, says :—" On the day of his arrival, Lord
Stratford de Redcliffe had a long conference with
the Grand Vizier Mehemet Ali. He afterwards
was,received by the Sultan, to whom he presented
an autograph letter of Queen Victoria and made a

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 27. 1853.

FEMALE AID SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of this society was held yester-
day at Willis's Rooms, King-street. St. James's. The
Marquis of Cholmondeley, vice-president of the institu-
tion, occupied the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, after the report of the state of the
society had been read, said he was happy to meet so
large a number of the friends and supporters of this
very useful society, that afforded, first, shelter and pro-
tection to servants and other unprotected females of good
character ; and, secondly, provided an asylum for fallen,
but penitent females. The noble marquis then made a
forcible and eloquent appeal on behalf of the society.
The meeting was subsequently addressed by several
supporters of the society, among whom were the Rev.
Mr. St. John Mildmay, and the Rev. Mr. Foster
Rogers, the chaplain of Westminster Bridewell. %
From the report, it appeared that since the establish-
ment of the Home for Female Servants, in November,
1836, there had been 2,072 females admitted, and 4,513
provided with situations. Since the establishment of
the Home for Penitent Females, 939 had been admitted.
A vote of thanks having been awarded the Marquis of
Cholmondeley, for his conduct in the chair, the proceed-
ings terminated.
London, England, 1853-04-27

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 21st contain no news
of importance. The Diario states that some sur-
prise had been caused on the Stock Exchange by a
sudden rise of 4 per cent. in what are called the
Committee Bonds, which had been considered, to
use its own expression, " definitively dead," and
it requests that information as to what it is in-
tended to do with respect to them may be given,
so as not to lead speculators into error. The same
journal announces the appointment of M. Augustin
Munoz, Count de San Augustin, as member of a
commission at London, with a salary of 24,000
reals (6,000 f.) General Aupick, the French Ambas-
sador, had left Madrid, and the first secretary of the
Embassy was to carry on the business until the arri-
val of M. Turgot, who was expected at the end of the
month. A letter says :—" Most of the capitalists
have hastened to renew their credits to the
government. The Bank of San Fernando has ad-
vanced to the Minister of Finance the sum of
10,000,000 reals, which he required to complete
the payments of the month. Notwithstanding the
avowed intention of the Ministry to adopt a policy
of conciliation, a certain number of members of the
Opposition seem disposed to refuse it their co-ope-
ration. Cabinet councils are frequently held. A
question, which seems to occupy the Ministers more
than any other, is relative to the concessions of
railways of which the works have not been com-
menced. General Concha and some members of the
Opposition seem principally opposed to the conces-
sion of the Northern line." _ _

The ceremony of the baptism of the infant child
of Prince Henry of Bourbon, brother of the King
of Spain, took place on the 22d with great pomp m
the church of St. Sernin at Toulouse. On leaving
the church handfuls of small silver coin were thrown
amongst the crowd.
The Espana states that the number of passengers
on the railway from Madrid to Aranjuez during the
first three months of the present year has been
52,274, and the quantity of goods conveyed 12,164
tons. In the corresponding period of the preceding
year, the passengers were 63,785, and the goods
8,190. The falling off in the passengers is attri-
buted to the backwardness of the spring.

count Palmerston, " For the better regulation of Metro-
politan Stage and Hackney-carriages." Cabs will come

The preamble states, that it is desirable to improve the
condition of the metropolitan stage and hackney-car-
ilages, and to alter and amend the system of licensing
such carriages. From October lst, application is to be
made to the Police Commissioners by persons desiring
to obtain a license. All public carriages are to bein-
spected, and if not in a fit condition the license to be
suspended. The fare for a distance not exceeding a
mile, in a hackney-carriage is to be 6d. ; or for not ex-
ceeding 15 minutes, the same sum. The fares are to be
exhibited outside and inside. In future no advertnie-
ments inside or outside are to be allowed in metropolitanszt
states. When a dispute arises and a magistrate is
ting, the driver is to drive to the nearest police -court.

ALARMING FIRE.-.LOSS OF TIVO LIVES.
(THIS DAY.)

ThiS morning, shortly before three o'clock, a fire of a
most alarming character, which at one time threatened a
vast destruction of property, and which, we regret to
announce, terminated in the loss of two lives, and per-
tonal injuries to some other parties, broke out in a
dwelling-house, situate in Phoenix-street, Gray's-inn-
road, immediately facing the walls of the House of
Correction.

It appears that the fire commenced its destructive
ravages in the back kitchen, which had the evening be-
fore been used as a laundry, and burnt with such rapi-
dity that the whole of the house was in flames before the
inmates could be made aware of their great danger.
Mr. Holden, the occupier of the second floor, having
been awoke, and finding escape by the staircase impos-
sible, at once judiciously threw the bed and mattress on
to the pavement, and'hy that means he and his family
escaped. Having effected the safety of his own
family, he next endeavoured to save the two children
of Mr Brown, who were sleeping in the first floor
back, but his efforts proved of no avail. At
this juncture the Royal Society's fire escape, sta-
tioned at the Foundling Hospital, came up, and every
effort was made by the attendants to save the children,
but unfortunately without success. We regret to state
that one of the escape men, in his brave attempts to
reach the poor children, met with a severe accident, he
having the whole of his face and eyes severely burnt,
besides having the skin on both his bands charred off by
the action of the fire. Shortly after the breaking out of
the fire, several engines from the various fire stations
attended, and owing to a plentiful supply of water being
at hand, got the fire under. A search was then made
for the bodies of the children,'who were found dreadfully
burnt, and conveyed to a neighbouring public-house
there to await an inquest. Great fears were at one time
entertained for the safety of the surrounding property—
there being a very large number of valuable funeral
horses, the property of Mr. Chancellor, in the stables
adjoining. The ages of the, children were, the youngest
eight and the eldest ten.

None of the parties, who are very poor, have saved a
single thing, they having, as stated above, had to mah
their escape in their inght clothes. The cause of the
fire has not been ascertained. None of the parties are
insured.

MARKET NEWS_ THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The show of English wheat in to-lay's market was very
limited, but in fair avenge condition. Although the
atte_idance of both {own and country millers was small, the
demand ruled steady, and Monday's prices were well
supported.
The arrivals of foreign wheat have been trifling. Goed
heavy qualities changed hands at full prices ; but par-
031s were much neglected.
Very little English barley was brought forward, and the
supply of foreign was but moderate. The trade was firm,
at full currencies.
We had a fair sale for malt, on former terms.
Oats, the show of which was very moderate, sold steadily
at full prices.
Beans, peas, and flour were in somewhat improved
ralue3t, at late figure!.
