The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
the Company being prohibited, by the 84th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis
puting a Policy upon may ground whatever.
The Rates o Pr cmium ere calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a dye regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p iid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at hale mo.e than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about ore-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES aye granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER SHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death o
the assured life.
The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons,
approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
sipper-4n them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, er a
_i.nse of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
`ter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret en-
comprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not he the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour andjusticedensand that health sheuldform an item
the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
seglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.James Wilson was brought before the Lord Mayor
upon the charge of having stolen a pair of shoes in the
shop of a house in Aldgate, in which a fire took place on
Friday night.
Obee (649) was on duty on Sunday morning near the
shoe-shop, which had been left in the care of the fire-
brigade, and he saw the prisoner shoving a pair of shoes
into his pocket. Upon being asked where he had got
the shoes, the prisoner ran back to the door of the house
and called out " Bob," and a fireman, named Robert
Brodie, who was inside, opened the door. The prisoner
then entered, but not before the officer pulled the shoes ,
out of his pocket, and told the fireman that the shoes I
had been stolen, and that the thief must be given up.
The fireman pushed against the officer and prevented
him from entering, but the officer's hand with which he
held the prisoner was within the door, and he sprang his
rattle, and with the assistance of another officer conveyed
the prisoner to the station-house.
The LORD MAYOR asked the officer whether he told
the fireman that he was a constable, when he demanded
that the prisoner should be given up to him ?—Obee
said he had distinctly told the fireman what he was,
and that the man had brought a pair of shoes out of the
shop.
Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the fire brigade,
called upon the fireman to account for his conduct.
The fireman, said he did not know that the person
who demanded the prisoner was a policeman, nor did
he know that anything had been stolen, or he should at
once have given the necessary assistance. As soon, how-
ever, as he was told the fact he did aid the policeman,
and the prisoner was handed over. As for his knowledge
of the prisoner, he merely. knew the man to be the
and he, therefore, opened
their guard against persons who pretended to be police-

The LORD MAYOR said, it certainly was the duty of
the firemen to assist the police in cases where attempts
were made to take the property saved from the awful
calamity of a fire.
The fireman—My Lord, the instant I found that he
was a policeman I did all that could be necessary.
Obee positively asserted that the fireman had assisted
the prisoner after he (witness) had said he was a
policeman, and that the prisoner had committed the
robbery.

GUILDHALL.
A young man, named Henry Thomas Haddon, was
charged with presenting a pistol at Mr. George Alder-
son, the landlord of the Woolpack public-house in Hart-
street, Cripplegate, and thereby' placing him in bodily
fear, as also causing great alarm to his wife.
The prisoner's defence was, that he never presented
the pistol, but, on the contrary, held it down; also, that
he did not snap it, and neither was it loaded. Mr. Al-
derson certainly asked him if it was loaded, and he said,
" Yes—with paper."
Alderman LAWRENCE asked him what he wanted with
a pistol on Sunday ?—The prisoner replied that he went
to try and dispose of it to his brother, but, failing to
come to terms, he was returning home when this occur-
rence took place.
Alderman LAWRENCE did not consider that respect-
able tradesmen were thus to be unnecessarily alarmed by
the freaks of any person, even supposing the pistol was
not loaded; and he should therefore call upon him to
find one surety in 204 and himself in a like sum, to keep
the peace for three months.
The required bail being forthcoming, he was dis-
charged.
A drover named Charles Savage was charged with
brutally knocking out the eye of a sheep.
It appeared that the poor animal was at times running
first under one vehicle and then another, when the pri-
soner struck it a severe blow over the head, which hap-
pened to alight on the eye, and carried it completely
out of the socket on to the pathway. Ile was at once
taken into custody.
The defendant's excuse was, that the sheep ran under
a cab and he pulled it out, and while so doing the
spring of the vehicle caught the animal's eye and tore
it out.
The officer said that could not be the case, as the eye
was lying on the pavement many yards from any kind of
conveyance.
Alderman LAWRENCE fined him 10s. or 14 days' im-
prisonment.
The prisoner sent a messenger to his master, who re-
fused to send the money, saying that be was so often
guilty of cruelty that he should go to prison, and accord.
ingly he was conveyed to the Compter.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Colonel Blanc was summoned before Mr. Bingham for
having neglected and refused to pay the weekly sum
for the maintenance of his alleged illegitimate offspring.
The case has been already frequently reported.
Mr. BINGHAM heard evidence to the effect that no
money has been paid under the order.
Colonel Blane's professional adviser applied for a post-
ponement of the case for a week, on the plea that it was
in contemplation to remove the case into the Court of
Queen's Bench; that Mr. Pashley's opinion had been
obtained, and that the proper steps would be taken
forthwith. If the magistrate objected to grant the delay,
he was prepared to pay the money under protest.
Mr. BINGRAM said, after the protracted litigation
which had occurred, and considering that the sum which
Colonel Blane was called upon to pay weekly was very
small in proportion to his means, he could not feel justi-
fied in acceding to further delay. The arrears, with
costs, both at that court and the sessions, must be paid.
The costs already allowed by the two Courts against
Colonel Blane amount to 361. This sum, of course, is a
very trifling part of the actual expenses.
WESTMINSTER.
DARING BURGLARY WITH PERSONAL VIOLENCE.—
illiam Cullen, George Digby, and Francis Pike, three de-
termined- looking young fellows, were charged with a
daring burglary at the residence of Mr. John Waller,
13, Stamford Villas, Fulham-road, and with personal
violence to the proprietor. The accused were taken into
custody on the following night for being found in the
rear of some houses in Cadogan-place, besides which it
is stated that the police will be in a position in a few
days to prefer other charges against them.
The police produced a certificate from a medical gen-
tleman to show that Mr. Waller, in consequence of the
injuries he had received, was unable to leave his room.
He was awoke by a man entering his sleeping apartment
at about three o'clock on Saturday morning, and, on
jumping out of bed, was wounded on the head with some
heavy blunt instrument (supposed to be a life-preserver,
as it is termed), after whieh his assailant escaped.
Inspector Drake, of the V division, stated that he re-
ceived information at five o'clock on Saturday morning
that a burglary had been committed at Mr. Waller's, and
immediately went there. He found that two unsuccess-
ful attempts had been made to get into the house from a
closet and kitchen window, in both of which a crowbar
had been used with some force, and so determined were
the burglars on accomplishing their purpose, that they
broke open the doors of some outhouses and made a
hole large enough to admit a man from one of these
through the brickwork into the kitchen, apparently
with a crowbar and chisel, and thus effected an entrance.
Witness saw that Mr. Waller, who was in bed, had re-
ceiyed a wound on the head, and there was a quantity of
blood upon that gentleman's shirt and the floor of the
apartment. A crowbar was found near the outhouses,
and the footmarks in the garden showed the route the
thieves had taken in, their retreat, Pike's and Cullen's
shoes, about the bottoms of the latter of which there is
something peculiar, precisely corresponding with some
of those marks.

In the course of a great deal more evidence it was
proved that between one and two on Sunday morning,
Jervis, 72 B, heard some one down a dark passage lead-
ing to the backs of the houses in eadogan-place, and on
hastening to the spot found the prisoner Pike, wbo
gave a name and address which ultimately turned
out to be false. In about an hour and a
half after this the constable again heard a noise
near where he had observed Pike come from, and
having, with another constable (Pucknell, 277 A), quietly
mounted the wall, they saw the two prisoners Cullen
and Digby in a yard in the rear of one of the houses in
,Csdogan-place, and immediately down and se-
cured them. A very powerful lite-preserver was found,
with a strong chisel, within a few yards of them; and
on Digby, amongst other things, a penknife with the
blade broken, the point of which precisely correspond-
ing with the portion left in the handle, was found in
some putty which had been cut from a pane of glass at.
Mr. Waller's at the time of the burglary. It was also
proved that about one o'clock on
i the morning of Sa-
turday, the prisoners were seen n company together,
going from Hyde Park-corner towards Fulham,
and re-
turning towards London between four and five on the
same morning. On Jervis going on Sunday morning
to search Cullen's room, in Pine-apple-court, Castle-
lane, Westminster, he also went into the next apartment,
where he found Pike in bed.
The prisoners contented themselves with denying that
they bad been seen together on Saturday morning.
Mr. BRODERIP remanded them for a week.

WORSHIP-STREET.
A tradesman named Radcliffe was charged with the
following brutal assault upon his apprentice, a youth
named Tho Mas Camfield:—
The apprentice stated, that while in bed at half-past
twelve o'clock on the night of Saturday week his master
rushed into the room, and without giving the slightest
reason for such conduct, seized him by the hair of his
head, dragged him out of bed, and kicked him in the
most furious manner upon various parts of the body.
