NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU-
RANCE SOCIETY.

2G, Cornhill, London.
Czpital £500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.

This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages
with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annaties.
Policies issued by this Society have a t,:mfoid advantage :—provi-
sion for the family of the Assured, and rt augmenting pecuniary
available resource to himself, if needfal, while living. The Assured
has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for-
feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES,

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option,'a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of hie payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
trough this Society.

AVERSE FOR MY PURSE.
Come, safe preserver of my valued cash,
Thy praise I'll sing, though Shakspere calls thee trash.
Much do I owe to thee, thou treasured thing,
And therefore 'tis but right that I should sing.
All that I wear, and all I eat and di•ink,
Ire but the produce of thy current chink;
And wheresoever, therefore, thou art conn'd,
I view thy contents as a magic wand.
Like everything, thou may'st be rightly used,
And likewise may'st be equally abused.
But I am one who would consult my purse,
In buying goods for better or for worse. •
Thy gold and silver treasures, if we ponder,
Is far too costly—far too scarce to squander;
And therefore in my purchases in trade,
I always go where savings can be made.
And never do I carelessly disburse
The Whites and Yellows of my well-wrought purse.
In dress, for instance, I would always buy
MOSES AND SON'S ATTIRE,
Which ranks so high.
At MOSES' Warehouse, everywhere renowned;
Cheapness and quality are always found.
I never once have found it the reverse,
Though often there I've drawn my silken purse.
THE HATS AND BOOTS OF MOSES
Also show
That quality is high, and price is low.
And really more than ever do I see
The very little hole they make in thee.
Hence I again to MOSES will repair,
And make a good—a moderate purchase there.
Again with MOSES will I draw my purse,
I can't do better—but I could do worse.
And thus concludes this tributary verso.

EAST INDIAN RAILWAY.
An extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors
of shares in the East Indian Railway Company was
held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate• street, yester-
day, at one o'clock, fur the purpose of considering
and discussing a communication received by the Board
from the Court of Directors, comprising " the terms
and conditions proposed by the Court of Directors of
the East India Company, for the construction of a
line of railway in the Bengal Presidency," and of
considering and deciding on the proceedings to be
adopted in reference thereto. The chair was taken by
H. A. AGLIONBY, ESQ., M.P., who called upon the
secretary to read the communications which had been
received from the Court of Directors, and the terms
and conditions referred to therein.
Mr. D. I. NOAD, the Secretary, then read those
documents as follows :
East India House, 28th March, 1849.
Sir,—l am commanded by the Court of Directors of
the East India Company to acquaint you that, in con.se-
qucnee of the discussions which have taken place respecting
the " terms and conditions" proposed for be introduction
of railways into India, and adverting to the conflicting.
views which prevail in regard thereto, the attention of
the Home Authorities has been again turnedlto the whole
subject; and that, upon a review of the "terms and
conditions," it has been determined to modify the same,
in the hope and expectation that the question may thus
be brought to an early and satisfactory conclusion.
A copy of the terms and conditions,
as applicable to
the railway proposed to be undertaken in the Bengal
Presidency, and into which the modifications thus de-
termined upon have been introduced, is herewith en-
closed, for the purpose of being submitted to the Board
of Directors of the East India Railway Company. In
forwarding the same, I am commanded to state, that the
terms and conditions so modified are to be received as
the ultimatum of the Home Authorities, and that the
assent thereto of the East Indian Railway Company
must be signified withia one month from the date of
this letter.

The board of directors of the East Indian Railway
'ompany will observe that a clause has been introduced,
defining more particularly the position of the experi-
mental section which they are to undertake.

17. That it is to be likewise understood that the pre-
sent arrangement in no respect supersedes the terms
communicated to the Government of India in the le-
gislative letter of the 7th of May, 1845, with the ex-
-18. That, in consideration of the rate of interest
ception only of the question of guarantee of interest.
having been raised from 4 to 5 per cent. per annum, the
railway company undertakes to carry the mails free, and
the troops, the artisans, and the stores of the Govern-
ment, at the terms chargeable for the lowest class of
passengers, and at the lowest rate for goods respec-
tively.
The CHAIRMAN said he would venture to ask
whether any gentleman had any observations to
make on the terms, before he stated his own feelings
on the subject i With regard to the terms them-
selves, he would only remark, that having, since
they received them, been repeatedly in communica-
tion with the authorities of the: Board of Control,
he thought his duty, as holding a public situation, to
state that he had no hesitation in expressing his
strong conviction that it was the intention of all the
authorities concerned in the government of India,
bond fide,
to carry tout this great undertaking, and
to give every fair construction to those terms—
(Cheers)—and that reasonable modification would be
admitted into the subscription contract.
Mr. llrrcniNs said the company now had a 51.
per cent. security, without the possibility of a loss,
and he heartily concurred in the general terms of the
document which had been read. He moved that the
terms be received and adopted, suggesting at the same
time tbat the directors should reserve to themselves
shares to the amount of 30,0001., for the purpose of
disposing of them at a premium in remuneration for
their great services.—("No, no," from the Chairman.)
The CHAIRMAN replied that with regard to reserv-
ing shares for the purpose of disposing of them at
a premium in the market, it was a proposition which
the directors gratefully but decidedly declined.
Mr. FLOOD rose to second the motion of Mr.
iiitchins for the adoption of the terms and conditions
propounded by the Court of Directors, and in so
doing said he could not help being astonished at the
advantageous terms which they were then con-
sidering.—(Applause.)
Ur. kiZADZASoki said, by the 16th clause, the gua-

rantee of 51. per cent. was not to extend to the
1,000,0001. How, he would ask, with 1,000,0001.
were they to make a profitable line ? He would also
ask where the line was to be made, and what was to
be done with their money ?
The CHAIRMAN replied that the sum of 1,000,0001.
was not rigid or inflexible; but it might be in-
creased, and if increased, the terms now under consi-
deration would be applicable to the increase precisely
as at the present moment.—(Hear.) He had been
asked what was to be the second terminus, Calcutta
being one. The second terminus had not been defined
Set ; but he could state to them that it was intended to
leave the direction of the line, and the second terminus
to be decided on by the Governor-General of India, both
as to the length and the position, with the single ex-
ception, that the experimental line was defined in the
direction which it was to take.—(Cheers.)
Mr. R. R. DEAN briefly addressed the meeting in
support of the resolution.
Colonel SMITH presumed there would be a limited
time within which the 21. call would be paid.
The motion was then put, and agreed to without a
dissentient voice.

Colonel SMITH then proposed, as a resolution, that
it was the opinion of the meeting that all shares on
which the call of 21. shall not be paid on or before
the 20th instant should be forfeited, subject to the
discretion of the board in particular cases.
Mr. CAATHORNE seconded the resolution, which
was also carried.

In answer to a question by a proprietor,
The CHAIRMAN disclaimed, on the part of the direc-
tors, any the slightest intention to traffic in the shares
of the company; and stated, that everything would
be conducted in a manner as fair as the day. _
Captain HENDERSON moved, that the shareholders
should be supplied with a list of the shareholders
who subscribed the original capital, but this finding
no seconder fell to the ground.
Mr. BEAUMONT moved a vote of thanks to the
directors for the energy, disinterestedness, patience,
and perseverance which they had manifested in the
conduct of the company's affairs, especially referring
to the exertions of Mr. Macdonald Stephenson and
Messrs. Freshfield. _ _ .

Mr. LOVELOCK seconded the resolution, which was
carried with acclamation. _

The CHAIRMAN briefly acknowledged the compli-
ment for himself and his brother directors, and the
meeting separated.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
NORTH WALES.

A special meeting of this company was held yesterday
at the Guildhall Coffee-house, Mr. Chadwick in the chair.
The CHAIRMMAN briefly stated that the directors
were anxious to afford the shareholders every informa-
tion with respect to their affairs. The whole of the
books would be laid before them, and it would be for
those who were interested in this unfortunate project to
decide what was best to be done under the circumstances.

Mr. HENDERSON said, he was glad that the share-
holders had thus been afforded another opportunity of
expressing their opinion in favour of the conduct of the
directors. With a view to clear up any doubt that
might exist with regard to the management of their
affairs, he would move that a committee of inquiry be
appointed, consisting of those shareholders who were
known to bo opposed to the directors, to investigate the
affairs of the company, with power to examine the di-
rectors, solicitor, or any other officer of the company.
Mr. POWELL seconded the resolution.

After some observations from Dr. WATERFIELD and
Mr. BUTT, the resolution was unanimously passed, ap-
pointing a committee, consisting of Mr. J. Shaw (the
solicitor of Mr. Archer), Mr. Norris, Mr. Crawford, Mr.
Cohen, and Mr. Henderson, with full powers to investi-
gate the affairs of the company, and to report thereon to
a:futare meeting.
In reply to questions, the CHAIRMAN stated that there
was nothing due to landowners, solicitors, or Parlia-
mentary agents; that 6001. would pay off all the liabili-
ties of the company. The Lord Chancellor had decided
against the claim of Mr. Jackson, and it was not pro-
bable the latter would prosecute the suit any further.
The powers of their Act to take land had ceased last
July, and next July the powers to carry on the works
would cease. With respect to dividing the funds in hand
they acted under the advice of an eminent lawyer, Mr.
Rolt, who had drawn up the deed. The difficulty was
in this mode of proceeding that it required all the parties
to agree to the dissolution of the company and to sign
the deed. The only dissenting parties he knew were
Mr. Bulkeley Hughes and Mr. Herapath. The directors
would give the committee every facility in their power
to make any investigation they thought proper.
Thanks were voted to the chairman and the meeting
separated.

[PRICE SD.

County Court. Govitt called upon the attorney, and
told him not to pay over the money to Conybeare, as she
and White hzd stolen the money from one of his drawers
but in a month afterwards he called again upon the at-
torney and told him it was all a mistake about the rob-
bery, and the money was handed over by the attorney
to the female defendant in the presence of Govitt, who
iigned his name to the receipt for it. In a short time
afterwards the two defendants went before a magistrate
and made oath that White had made a false key, with
which, in the presence of Conybeare, he opened one of
the drawers, and told her to take out 10 sovereigns. A
warrant was granted and the plaintiff was apprehended,
when about 2,000 persons were present at an agricultu-
ral meeting. He was locked up all night, and the next
day he was taken before the magistrate, who, having
heard the case, dismissed it—hence the present action.
The defence was a reasonable and probable cause.
Ultimately a verdict was returned for the plaintiff—
Damages, 1501.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
Yesterday, Denis Murphy, a boy of 13 years of age,
was convicted of having been detected in the act of
drawing a handkerchief from the pocket of a gentleman
who had been a looker-on at the Olympic Theatre
conflagration. Upon being taken into custody and
searched, three other silk handkerchiefs were found upon
the boy, each handkerchief having a different mark
upon it.
The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that
the c Ise of this boy was an illustration of the observations
he had made to the grand jury as to no good being
likely to be effected in reference to these boys until the
parents were compelled to contribute towards their sup-
port whilst in prison. During the whole of the last
three months this boy had lived entirely upon his efforts
and cleverness in the streets, and his parents had been
altogether freed from any expense as to his maintenance.
The only fitting place for such a boy was Parkhurst;
but in or3er that he should be eligible for admission
into that prison it was necessary that he should be 14
years of age, then 4 feet 6 inches in height, and also a
hardened rogue. Now, it chanced that this prisoner
possessed but one, and that the last, of these stipulated
qualifications; and thus he was not admissible. The
sentence, therefore, was, that he be imprisoned for six
months, with hard labour.

John Jones, aged 42, a journeyman tailor, was con-
victed of having stolen a pair of trousers, the property
of his employer, Henry Lawrence, of Brewer-street.
The prisoner, on being called upon for his defence,
stated that for the last nine months in order to support
his family, consisting of a wife and six children, he had
been compelled to make trousers for the prosecutor at
the rate of 10d., Is., Is. 3d., and Is. 6d. per pair, and
having done that he considered he had given the strongest
proofs of his being an honest man.
The prosecutor, in reply to this statement, said that
the prisoner had supplicated him in the most piteous
manner to give him work, and, therefore, out of charity
he had at length consented to let him have a description
of work which was usually allotted to women.
The prisoner—That's a lie; for I made the very best
double superfine trousers for Is. 4d. a pair.—(Laughter.)
The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that he
had no doubt but that up to the commission of this act
the prisoner had been an honest man, and that the
small prices he had received from the prosecutor not
being sufficient to enable him to sustain the calls 'of his
family, his integrity had broken down. He should sen-
tence him, under the circumstances, to one month's im-
prisonment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARY LEBONE.
Mr. Robert Clavering Savage, a person of very large
property, driving his four-in-hand, and who has at least
fourteen horses, together with carriages of different de-
scriptions, and Caroline Langdon, a smartly-dressed
woman, were charged before Mr. Broughton upon war-
rants which had been obtained against them for assaults.
Mr. Pelham appeared on the part of the complainants,
modest looking girls, named Susan Smith and Mary
Clay ton.

The Learned Gentlemen stated at some length the
particulars of the case, and his statement was borne out
by evidence, which went, to show that Savage had for
years past occupied extensive premises in Wellington-
place, St. John's-wood, and that on the 23d of January
last Mr. Clarke, a respectable person, who then lived in
Caroline-street, Camden-town, and had known him
(Savage) for more than twenty years, bad acceded to
Savage's proposition, and with his wife went to his (the
male defendant's) house with two young female servants,
with an understanding that he was to be boarded and
properly attended to in every respect, at the rate
of 121. 10s. per month for a year certain ; there
was also a stipulation that no female "friends"
of Mr. Savage should be allowed to reside in
the house, more particularly as regarded Caroline
Langdon. Savage had, however, in the early part of
last week, sent for her, and both of the defendants not
only committed assaults upon the female domestics, but
perpetrated acts of a most disgusting nature in their pre-
sence. The acts committed cannot be particularked,
being quite unfit to meet the public eye; suffice it to state
that the worthy magistrate, Mr. Broughton, after hear-
ing evidence which occupied his attention nearly two
hours, came to the conclusion that a more gruss case of
profligacy had never come before him, and the sentence
which he felt himself bound to pass upon the defendants
was, that each should pay a penalty of Si., or be impri-
soned in the House of Correction for two months; in
addition to which he should call upon Mr. Savage to
enter into his own recogninnee in 500/, and to find two
sureties in 1001. each (with 24 hours' notice), for his
keeping the peace and being of good behaviour for the
ensuing six months. He was then locked up. The
penalty upon the woman was paid.
W ORSHIP- STREET.
Michael Alexander Bailey, in the service of a master-
carman named Clare, in Mitchell-street, St. Luke's, was
charged with obtaining po.session of a large quantity of
malt from the goods' department of the Easter Counties
Railway, under false pretences.
The prisoner was ordered to be remanded for a week
for the completion of the evidence, the Magistrate con-
senting to accept substantial bail for his future appearance.
