THE PRINCIPALITIES.

According to the correspondence of the Vienna
journals from the principalities, the march of the
troops from the interior of Russia into Bessarabia
still continues. On the other hand, the Turks are
concentrating a great force in the south of Mol-
davia. The troops under Isman Pacha, at Kolen-
tine (14,000 strong) began their march on Ibraila on
the 21st. Hassan Pacha, the hero of Giurgevo, who
with 10,000 men was stationed at Budeschti, is
already at Galatz ; and the troops under Geritli
Pacha, consisting of 22,000 men, are also at Galatz.
Said Pacha, the governor of Bucharest, has resigned
his post, and the Austrian General von Popovich
has taken the office. Baron Hess was to leave Bu-
charest on the 27th for Giurgevo. He will return
to Vienna from thence. •

The army under General Osten Sacken, concen-
trated in Podolia and Volhynia, is now called the
3d army ; its head-quarters are at Shitomir. Ge-
nerals Gortschakeff and Luders intend, it is said,
to pass the winter at Odessa. The whole of the
Cossacks who were employed in the principalities
are concentrating at Otschakow.

IPSWICH.

Upon the announcement of the victory being received
here, the bells of St. Mary Tower rang a merry peal
throughout the day, and cannon were fired in various parts
of the town. The flags of Various nations floated from the
ships in harbour and public buildings in the town, in
joyous manifestation of the event.—lpswich Express.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.

The mayor and corporation were attending Divine 'ser-
vice at St. Andrew's church on Sunday, to unite in thanks-
givings for a bounteous harvest, when the important intel-
ligence of the victory over the Russians was handed to his
worship. The mayor immediately gave orders that the
bells of the different churches in the town should be rung
after service, and that the flag on the Castle should be
hoisted. Similar demonstrations of rejoicing were made
on Monday.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

The Phoenix, screw steam-sloop, Captain Inglefield,
arrived at Woolwich on Monday evening from the Arctic
regions. Captain Inglefield was telegraphed to attend at
the Admiralty on Tuesday morning, and immediately pro-
ceeded to town. It appears strange that the ships and
steamers of Captain Sir Edward Belcher's expedition
should have been abandoned when the Talbot conveyed so
much provisions to Beechey Island, and the officers and
crew of the Phoenix volunteered to remain out during the
next winter in charge of them.

The revision of the list of voters for the borough of the

ditch, and St. Ann, Limehouse, there were no new
claims lodged, and these were only occasioned by in-
accuracies in the published lists.

CHOLERA IN THE CITY.

The MEDICAL OFFICER of HEALTH said, in reference
to the inspectors returns for the past week, I beg to
submit a list of places neglecting the orders of the court
for their sanitary improvement in various means of
cleanliness, having drainage, privy accommodation, and
water supply. I am happy to apprise the court that
the information I have received confirms in the strongest
manner my belief in the decline of the epidemic, and
leads'me to a very sanguine hope that the City will now
continue free front any intense localisation of the fatal
influence. (Hear, hear.) _ _

Attn. the transaction of a vast deal of business eon-
nected with the sanitary regulations of the City, this
calla adjourned.

MATIMPOLITAN COMMISSION OF

SE WEBS.

A special meeting of the metropolitan commissioners
of sewers was held yesterday at their offices, in Greek-
street, Soho ; Mr. Jebb in the chair. The other com-
missionei a present were Colonel Dawson, Mr. T. Hawes,
Mr. J. Hawkshaw, Mr. G. S. Smith, and Mr. L.
Redhead. _

The SeceErsei (Mr. Woolryeh) reported that the
funds in hand amounted to 53,346/ , less cheques drawn
4,8671. ; leaving an available balance of 48,4791. The
amount of deficit in funds was stated at 120.0001.
In the case of complaint for the Poplar district, the
CHAIRMAN stated that he had made inquiries into the
su!ject, and he would recommend the commission to
remit the rates levied upon the inhabitants on condition
that they agree to cleanse the Poplar ditch. He be-
li4ved the inhabitants bad been accustomed to have
their rates remitted on that condition, and the law was
not very dear on the sulject. He also stated that 181
cases of nuisance had been presented to the commission
that day by their own officers, in addition to 240 pre-
sented last week—most of them having occurred in the
line of new sewers.
The court then proceeded to hear appeals.

WAKEFIELD.

As soon as the intelligence of the battle of Alma reached
this town, the enthusiasm of the populace knew no
bounds. The fine peel of bells in the tower of the parish
church rung out an inspiriting strain throughout the day.;
flags and streamers were displayed from the battlements,
and in tlie evening a band of music paraded the town.
The practices of the fifth of November, were repeated in
the Bull-ring, by the kindling of an immense fire, which
illuminated the whole area of the market-place. Copies of
The Sun were in great demand, ie some instances 2s.
6d: per copy being offered and refused. There was
some idea of a general illumination in honour of the
event, but with the exception of Mr. Tyas's printing and
publishing establishment, the displays in this department
were not general. In some degree, to minister to the po-
pular crawing for news, the Journal office and the prin-
cipal book shops displayed on their windows copies of the
evening papers, which were read aloud by some enthu-
siastic individual for the benefit of the public.

BATH.

The victory in the Crimea and the fall of Sebastopol were
made known in this city on Sunday afternoon by means of
the electric telegraph. The streets.at the time were much
crowded by persons who had assembled to see the Second
Somerset Militia march to church, and the glorious news was
eagerly passed from point to point, exciting the intensest
interest. It was told from many of the pulpits of the se-
veral cliurches and chapels during the evening service as a
theme demanding a second thanksgiving, and after the close
of public worship the bells sent forth peals of rejoicing. On
Monday morning the greatest anxiety was manifested for
the arrival of the London papers, and when it was found
that they confirmed the report of the previous day, evi-
dences of gratification and rejoicing wore everywhere ma-
nifest. The flags were hoisted on all the church towers,
and the bells continued " firing" throughout the day.
Several private, establishments also displayed flags and
banners.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Oct. I.—A letter from Berlin of the
above date, says—" It is impossible to describe the
sensation produced at this place by the receipt of
the telegraphic despatches announcing the splendid
successes of the Allies, first in the Alma, and then.
at Sebastopol. If this news be completely con-
firmed, then truly do the standards of all regiments
and colours of all ships concerned merit to be en-
graved with the old words of Ceasar :—‘ We came,
we saw, and conquered.' It must be repeated, the
sensation is beyond all words intense ; and it may
be simply added that nine-tenths of the popula-
tion participate in the feeling of joy which must
animate the breast of every Frenchman and En- .
glishinan, as well as those of our. valiant Turkish
allies."
The Xationa Zeitung gives out a supplement j

containing divers despatches, all of which tend
to confirm the Lews of immense successes, if not
of a total and final victory.

RUSSIA.
MOVEMENTS OF THE ARMY.
' The Lloyd has received a letter of the 27th 61.*
September from Kaliach, in which the writer says
that the change in the position of the Russian
armies in general, and of that in Poland in parti-
cular, must be considered "a warlike demonstra-
tion against Austria." The same opinion pre-
vails' in Austria, and the threatening movements
of the Russian troops in Poland are, perhaps,
the reason why Austria has just displayed such
extreme anxiety to secure, in case of attack,
the assistance of Prussia and the other German
States. It was at first supposed that all the
troops which had quitted Warsaw had been sent
to Volbynia ; but it is now discovered that they
are on their way to Radom, about half-way be-
tween Warsaw and Sa,ndomierz on the frontiers of
Galicia, where they will pass the winter in an in-
trenched camp. As the troops quit Warsaw they
are reviewed by Prince Pasiiiewitch. Generals
Kryloff and Wrangel command the forces concen-
trated at Kielce, which is at no great distance from
the Galician frontier. The vanguard of the corps
at Kielce is standing at Pintschoff and Olkusch,
which lie on either side of eracoW. Very recently
the Russian Grenadier corps and the Ist Infantry
division have been pushed forward towards the
Vistula, where they are forming intrenched works
at important strategic points.
London, England, 1854-10-04

SEBASTOPOL.

We have just received the following from

Vienna :

On the 23d Fort Constantine was destroyed by

the Allies, and Fort Alexander taken.

On the 24th all the redoubts and forts around
Sebastopol, all the batteries, and the Arsenal,
were in the hands of the Allies.

The flags of the Allies were hoisted on the
tower of St. Vladimir.

It is believed that the day on which Prince

Menschikoff surrendered at discretion was the
26th.

It is said that the remainder of the Russian
fleet is safe in the hands of the Allies.

The Turkish army wil). at once cross the Danube
into Bess'aitilkia,'
Thit;gltrtit*s intage#gej§ thus confirmed by
by
way of Park,:-- •

A private telegraphic despatch states that at
the end of a second battle gained by the Allies they
bombarded Fort Constantine, the Citadel, and the
fleet, all of which surrendered.

The Russians have lost 18,000 men in killed
and wounded, and 2,000 prisoners.
Six ships of the line and Fort Constantine have
been destroyed.

BERLIN, TUESDAY, OCT. 3.

A telegraphic despatch has been received here
direct from St. Petersburg. It says that Prince
Menschikoff has telegraphed, under date of Sep-
tember 26, that he has withdrawn his troops, un-
molested, from before Sebastopol towards Bak-

tschi-Serai. There he will await reinforcements
from Kertsch and Perekop.
He adds that Sebastopol had not been attacked
up to the 26th September.
The following despatches have also been re-
ceived

VIENNA, TUESDAY, OCT. 3.

Several private despatches received here to-day
confirm the intelligence received from various
quarters relative to the fall of Sebastopol.

No official confirmation, however, has yet
reached us, but an official despatch flop St. Pe-
tersburg, dated the Ist inst., stating that advices
from Prince MenschikofF of the 26th made no

mention of disastrous events, causes some anxiety

here.

VIENNA, TUESDAY, OCT. 3.

Prince Menschikoff's despatch to St. Peters-
burg is doubtless dated the 20th, not the 26th,
for his last despatch was eleven days en route.

VIENNA, TUESDAY, OCT. 3.

The local papers publish the following :
Five hours after the bombardment, Fort Con-
stantino blew up ; 10,000 'Russians were buried

in its ruins. Prince Menschikoff fled to Fort
Alexander, where 18,000 Russians shortly sur-

rendered.

The Allied fleets simultaneously destroyed the
outer harbour, forts, and vanguard of the Rus-

sian fleet.

Prince MenschilFoff is reported to have uncon-
ditionally surrendered on the evening of the 26th.
The following despatch, relating to the casual-
ties in the battle of the Alma, has been received,

via Vienna, from Constantinople :
" CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 25.
" The Vulcan has brought 320 wounded from

the Crimea.

" The Andes brought 300.

" No General officers were hurt.
" The 7th, 23d, and 33d Regiments suffered

most.

" The Russians have retreated into Sebasto•

THE MYSTERIOUS CASE AT NEW

BRIGHTON.

An inquiry took place at the Liscard Sessions-house,
on Wednesday and Thursday last, before the magistrates,
relative to the mysterious death of Mrs. Emily Watts,
wife of Mr. William Watts, surgeon, of Nottingham,
who was charged with having made false returns to the
registrar as to the cause of death of his wife, which oc-
curred on Monday, the 4th ult. Mrs. Watts, it was
stated, took an injection of tobacco water on that morn-
ing, which produced death in the afternoon ; and on the
Wednesday her husband, who is a surgeon, made a re-
turn to the registrar that she died from constipation of
the bowels and effusion into the abdomen. On the Sa-
turday following an inquest was held upon the body,
before Mr. Churton, coroner, when the jury returned a
verdict of " Died from an over-dose of tobacco." Informa-
tions were subsequently laid against Mr. Watts, at the
instigation of the brother of the deceased, Mr. Barkworth,
of Hull, for having made a false return to the registrar,
and the case, as .has been already stated, was partially
heard on Wednesday and Thursday. Evidence at great
length was then heard, but, although there appeared to
be some suspicious circumstances attached to the case,
nothing transpired to directly implicate Mr. Watts in
having administered the tobacco water as an injection
to his wife, or even that he had been cognisant of the
fact until the Wednesday evening after the death, when
he was informed by their servant, Esther Winn.
The farther hearing of the case was resumed on Satur-
day last, before Major-General Sir Edward Cust, Bart.,
and Mr. Daniel Neilson, The solicitors for the prosecu-
tion were Mr. Snowball, Mr. Banning, and Mr. Phil-
lips, of Hull. The counsel for the defence was Mr. Con-
way, barrister, instructed by Mr. Townsend, solicitor.
The case for the prosecution having been closed on Thurs-
day last, the proceedings were opened by
Mr. Conway fishy; to address the bench for the de-
fence, when he made a brilliant and rrgumentative
address, occupying the court about an hour and three
qaarters. The learned counsel, in the most earnest and
emphatic terms, called upon the bench not merely to dis-
miss the summons, but to do so in such terms as should
silence the busy tongue of rumour, and enable his client,
who had grown grey in an honourable profession, and
who now, in the evening of his days, was for the first
time assailed by calumny, to go forth once more into
the world and resume that social position which he had
hitherto enjoyed, and from which a conviction, or the
suspicion, of such a charge as that which he was now
called upon to answer, must for ever banish him.
The first witness called for the defence was

John Maurice Banner, surgeon, who deposed that he
had known several times an injection of tobacco water
having been used iu oases of obstinate oustipstion.

CITY COURT OF SEWERS.

Yesterday the commissioner assembled numerously in
the Guildhall ; Deputy Peacock in the chair.
THE BLACEWALL RAILWAY NUISANCE.
Mr. DAW, the chief clerk to the commission, said he
had to inform the court that the filth and other rub-
bish of which complaint bad been made at the last
meeting, as having been so excessively offensive, under
the arches of the Blackwell Railway, had been removed.
(Hear, hear.) He had also to state that he had received
from the secretary to the Blackwell Railway Company
a letter upon the subject, the counterpart of the letter
which had appeared in the newspapers, and which, no
doubt, the commissioners had seen. It gave him grati-
fication to assure the court that the order had been
effectually complied with:
Several complaints were made against the owners of
shops in several districts, who, after the usual hour of
sweeping the streets on Sunday nights, flung the rubbish
and dirt accumulated in their premises into the streets,
thus in a great measure frustrating the labours of the
scavengers.
London, England, 1854-10-04

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

Picking throughout Kent is nearly finished, and we
regret to be compelled to announce the general defici-
ency of the crops. In Sussex, also, in a considerable
number of grounds, picking is already finished, with the
same result, and indifferent in quality. In the immediate
vicinity of Maidstone the average yield is said to be be-
tween 4 and 5 cwt. per acre—some two or three miles
distant, it will not exceed 11 cwt. The total yield on
the Canterbury grounds will be quite a third less than
what was anticipated a few weeks since—about 14 cwt.
per acre being the supposed average. The parish of
Goudourst, having 700 acres in cultivation, will not ex-
ceed cwt. per acre—one planter, off eight acres, get-
ting only from two to three bushels. Craubrook, which
has been considered a favoured district, is not expected
to realise 3 cwt. per acre. 231. 10s. has been offered for
some Gelding's grown there, and though a large sum,
from the supply and demand, there is no doubt of its
being oven exceeded, as every first-rate quality hop
grown this year will be required for particular descrip-
tion of beer. The grounds in the neighbourhood of Ton-
bridge, Tonbridge Wells, Penshurst, and Frant will not
average 1 cwt. The duty is now set at 45,0001. ; but if
set correctly a month ago, it is very much too high now.
From the accounts received, we believe it cannot be more
than from 35,0001. to 40,000/.—Kentish, Gazette.

MOONLIGHT IN THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.—If Italy can
boast her sunny skies just before the approach of the
evening twilight, when the eye rests on a thousand tints
of splendour, the Sandwich Islands can boast a flood of
moonlight at once glorious and matchless. Shortly after
reaching Lihue, I tried an experiment in reading by the
light of the moon. I found it perfectly easy, and read
several pages of Milton's " Paradise Lost." Before the
hour of rest that night I witnessed the rare phenomenon
of a lunar rainbow. A shower of rain fell on the ocean
immediately in front of the estate, and the beautiful iris
caused by it stretched from one side of the horizon to
the other. These lunar rainbows may be attributed
mainly to two causes—theigreat brilliancy of the moon
in this region and the highly rarefied state of the atmo-
tiphore,—ScraLtokii I tM4 NOOI.

OXFORD.

Although it was understood in this city on Saturday
night that a glorious victory had been achieved by the
allied Powers in the East, it was not generally known until
Monday morning. As soon as the pleasing intelligence
was spread, the greatest excitement and joy pervaded the
whole city. Large flags waved from the tower of the city
church, as well as from the tower of St. Thomas's Church,
and the union jack was hoisted on the top of the county
gaol, whilst the bells of St. Thomas and other churches
rang merry peals. The announcement on Tuesday of the
brilliant and important capture of Sebastopol through the
same channel, caused additional joy and delight to be ma-
nifested by all classes of her Majesty's subjects in Oxford.
An illumination, as soon as the oecial news is known, is
talked of.
BATH.

The victory in the Crimea and the fall of Sebastopol were
made known in this city on Sunday afternoon by means of
the electric telegraph. The streets at the time were much
crowded by persons who had assembled to see the Second
Somerset Militia march to church, and the glorious news was
eagerly passed from point to point, exciting the intensost
interest. It was told from many of the pulpits of the se-
veral churches and chapels during the evening service as a
theme demanding a second thanksgiving, and after the close
of public worship the bells sent forth peals of rejoicing. On
Monday morning the greatest anxiety was manifested for
the arrival of the London papers, and when it was found
that they confirmed the report of the previous clay, evi-
dences of gratification and rejoicing were everywhere ma-
nifest. The flags were hoisted on all the church towers,
and the bells continued " firing" throughout the day.
Several private establishments also displayed flags and
banners.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

According to the correspondence of the Vienna
journals from the principalities,
.the march of the
troops from the interior of Russia into Bessarabia
still continues. On the other band, the Turks are
concentrating a great force in the south of-Mol-
davia. The troops under Isman Pacha at Kolen-
tina (14,000 strong) began their march on Ibraila on
the 21st. Hassan Pacha, the hero of Giurgevo, who
with 10,000 men was stationed at Budeschti, is
already at Galatz ; and the troops under Geritli
Pacha, consistingof 22,000 men, are also at Galatz.
Said Pacha, the governor of Bucharest, has resigned
his post, and the Austrian General von Popovich
has taken the office. Baron Hess was to leave Bu-
charest on the 27th for Giurgevo. He will return
to Vienna from thence.

The army under General Osten Sacken, concen-
trated in Podolia and Volhynia, is now called the
3d army ; its head-quarters are at Shitomir. Ge-
nerals Gortscbakeff and Luders intend, it is said,
to pass the winter at Odessa. The whole of the
Cossacks who were employed in the principalities
are concentrating at Otschakow.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE at HARPENDEN.
" Harpenden, June 16, 1854.
" Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in adding my testimony to
the value of your Fireproof Ewes.

" Last MOnday night my Irouse, warehouse, and premises were
unfortunately burned down; the lire raged very fearfully for about
two hours, and, owing to the great scarcity of water, the whole of
ray premises and stock were consumed.
" The safe I purchased of you had a most severe test, in conse-
quence of a barrel of brimstone standing close to it and melting with
the heat of the fire, the burning lava running all over and under the
sale, which great'y added to the Intensity of the heat; it remained
in that position about four hours, and when with great difficulty it
was got out of the lire and opened, I found my books and papers all
uninjured.

" You are at liberty to make what use you please of this informa-
tion.

"I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully

_
" WM. WALKER.
"Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, 47k, Moorgate-street, London."
"Agricultural Laboratory, Harpenden, July 6, 1854.
"Gentlemen,—l was present at the late lire which destroyed the
premises of Mr. Walker, Harpenden, and was much surprised at the
great amount of heat your safe resisted, and still more surprised
(when it was made known to me that a barrel of sulphur stood near
it) that it was not entirely destroyed.
" Being anxious to see if it had been attracted by the sulphur, I
scraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the
safe, and, from analysis, find much sulphuret, so that it must have
been greatly acted upon by the sulphur, yet the books and papers
were perfectly uninjured.
" I must in justice say that your safes are invaluable, and very
necessary for every one who has books and accounts of any value.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours very faithfully,

" F. W. SIMCOE.

AUSTRALIA.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The files of papers I have enclosed will furnish
your readers with everything of interest that has
occurred since the last mail left. The Queen of the
South returns with the next mail. Ou her arrival
with the April news I was at Geelong. The mails
were lauded at Queenscliff at half-past ten o'clock.
Taking the minimum rate of mail conveyance—six
miles an hour—they should have arrived in Geelong
by two o'clock. At that hour, two or three light
bags, carried on pack horses, were received,—but
all the heavy packages, with the whole of the news-
paper mail, were left on the beach, to be forwarded
on a dray—whether drawn by horses or bullocks I
know not ; but suppose the latter, for no tidings of
the royal mail were obtainable at a late hour that
night. Ocean Penny Postage may be all very well
if people would direct their letters to their ultimate
destination; but to send them to the "Post-otlice,"
as is usual, is next to useless. You can form no idea

ITALY.

A letter from Rome, in the Parlamento of
Turin, states that the Tribunal of the Consulta
commenced its sittings on the 22d ult. at the
prisons of San Michele, for the purpose of con-
sidering the affair of the 15th of August, 1849.
The judges are said not to be agreed as to the
title to be given to the prosecution ; some being
of opinion that the prisoners should be held re-
sponsible for all the political assassinations that
have occurred since 1849, and ()idlers limiting the
accusation to high treason against the Papal throne.
In either case some condemnations to death would
ensue, but with this difference, that in the former
case they would all receive execution, whereas in
the latter they would be commuted.

The Madrid mail of the 30th ult. has not arrived
this morning.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

The lithographic news sheet of Vienna of the
29th ult. says :—" According to the last accounts
which have been received from the theatre of the
war in Asia, and which come down to the 17th,
the Russians are concentrating themselves at Tiflis.
The question is whether all the efforts they are
making will succeed in preventing the followers of
Schamyl from leaving the mountains, as the ope-
rations of that chief are vigorously supported by
the Turkish army, which has been reorganised.
Up to this time Schamyl has occupied 400 Russian
villages. The Russian columns are flying in all
directions. Schainyl has made prisoners of more
than 800 individuals, many of whom are conside-
rable landowners."
London, England, 1854-10-04

EDINBURGH.

The balls while I write (says our correspondent, in a
hitter dated Monday), are ringing merry peals, in cele-
bration of the grand -victory in the Crimea, the intelli-
gence of which reached this yesterday, but was generally
known only this morning.

PERTH.
The special messengers, coming north with despatches
by the mail train on Saturday night, received at Perth on
Sunday morning telegraphic despatches containing the
stirring news from the East. One posted to Balmoral, by
Spittal of Glenshee, to her Majesty : the other came north
by railway, and posted from Aberdeen to ,Haddo House,
the residence of Lord Aberdeen. The latter came back to
Aberdeen the same afternoon, with despatches from the
Premier to her Majesty.

Last week the births of 907 boys and 862 girls, in all
1,769 children, were registered in London. In the nine
corresponding weeks of the years 1845-53 the average
number was 1,420.
At the Royal observatory, Greenwich, the mean read-
ing of the barometer in the week was 30.076 in. The
mean temperature of the week was 55.2 deg., which is
1.0 deg. above the average of the same week in 38 years.
The highest temperature of the week occurred on Friday,
and was 74.0 deg. ; the lowest on the same day (Friday),
and was 37.9 deg., showing a range of 36 deg. tempera-
ture in 24 hours. The mean dew-point temperature was
47.2 deg., and the difference between this and the tem-
perature of the air was 8.1 deg. The temperature of the
water of the Thames was, on an average, a little below
60 deg. during the week. The mean temperature of the
river for the last six weeks was 63.7 deg., 63.9 deg., 65.0
deg., 63.4 deg., 63.6 (leg., and 59.2 deg. The mean
temperature of the air for the same periods was 61.2 deg.,
65.1 deg., 59.2 deg., 60.7 deg., 57.1 deg., and 55.2 deg.
The electric state of the atmosphere was positive through-
out the week. No rain fell, but fog was prevalent. The
air was calm during the last five days of the week ; and
it had a slight horizontal movement during the first two
days, chiefly from the west and north-west.

EXAMPLE.

A B, aged 35, pays 14/. 3s 9(17;t:;;;t for Life for 5001, and at the
end of seven years wishes to drop his Policy—he will at this time
have paid 991. Gs. 3d., and for the surrender of the Policy he would
in other offices get a very little, if anything, and the premiums
would consequently be lost.
'1 he Directors of the Universal Provident, feeling this 10 be a great
hardship and a positive obstacle to the adoption of Life Assurance by
all classes, have adopted the (quitable principle of deducting the pre-
mium for the time the risk has been incurred from the premiums
paid, and returning the balance. to the parties, thus making a profit
themselves without any risk. In the example above the Insurance
for 5001. for the time would have been 9/. 9s. 7d. per annum, or 601.
75. ld. ; this deducted from 99/. Gs. 3d. leaves 32/. 19s. 2d. to be
returned. The advantage of this principle is peculiarly applicable
when Policies arc taken out to cover Loans.
