A TATTLE on the CATTLE,

Two gentlemen (myse7f and Mr. Dyall)
Conversei to;ether in familiar speech ;
And now, for Moses' sake, I'll make a trial

To tell, verbatim, what was said by each.
" Sir (said my friend), do you intend to go
To see this famous Smithfield Cattle Stow ?"
" Yes, Sir (said I,
In my reply),
If all be well, I'm certa'n to be there,
For I enjoy the sight at Portman-square,
Not only for the oxen, sheep, and pigs,
On which Friend Punch delights to play his rigs,
But for the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies,
•
'Whose fashions are a pr ,of what Moses' trade is."
" Exactly so (said Dyal ), I and you
On such a subject have the self-same view.
1 never went, I do declare,
To see the prizes at the
Without admiring Moses' dresses there.
I certainly confess
(Said Mr. Dyall),
That such sit, crier dress
Should cause us every one to make a trial."
"Just so (said I), I acquiesce
Ili all you say of Moses' dress.
The Paletots (and you I see have one),
Do credit to the Mart of M. and Son."

The following are among the advantages offered by this Society :

ECONOMY combined with Security

•
The RATES of Prenfitnn'are lower than those of any other office,
which entitle the assured to participate in the profits, and considerably
lower than those of any other Mutual Assurance Society.
The WHOLE of the PROFITS are (Ivided every fifth year among
the Assured, and a 'Bonus is added, after the payment of the Fifth
Annual Premiina to every Policy effected on the participating Scale,
if a claim accrue thereon prior to the next division of profits.
The BONUSES declared at the three former divisions (arising
from three-fourth:; only of the prelts), averaged 16, 31, and 36 per
cent. respectively on the amount of Premiums paid.
The BONES declared in 1849 (arising front the whole of the pro-
fits), being the result of the operatiins of the Skiety during the last
five y ears upon the Mutual Principle, averaged 62}4 per cent. on the
Premiums received. _ . _

All Assurances effected durinz the year 1841, on the equal rates of
Premium, will be entitled to participate in the profits to be declared
in 1854.

LIFE ISgURA.NCE ON THE PRINCIPLE OF MUTUAL CON-

TBIBUTION.
SCOTTISH WIDOWS' FUND LIFE AS-
SURANCE SOCIETY.

Founded A. I) 1815.

And Constituted by Set of Parliament, for Assurance en the Lives
of persons in every .z tation or profession. wheresoever resident.

Greater advantages cannot be obtained from any Insurance Com-
pany or Society, than those possessed by the Members of the Scot-
tish Widows' Fund Life Society, as the following illustration may
show :—A party in his 29th year, in the month of January, 1818,
having then become a Member by Insurance on his life to the ex-
tent of 1,0001., has, up to the present tinae, contributed altogether
8531., exclusive of any interest; and the sum which would be paid
under the Policy in the event of his death taking place at any time in
the course of this yeJr, is 1,9541. as. Bd. Were he to die between
Jan. 1850 and Jan. 1851, there would be paid........ £1,980 7 5
between Jan. 1851 and Jan. 1852 • • • ........ 2 020 11 2

between Jan. 1852 and 31st Dec. 1652 .... 2,062 14 11

To the It eptesentatives of this Member, therefore, were he to die
in the year 1852, after payment of the Premium for that year,
there would be paid uitora than double the amount of the original
Insurance. Members have the option of allowing their Policies to go
on increasing annually, as shove stated;
Or of surrendering the Bonuses for their present value in cash ;

Or to have au equivalent reduction in future Premiums; and in
the case of a'l of the early Insurances, the lionuces have for some
year.; back been mere than equivalent to a total extinction of future
Premiums, so that, in reality, many Members are altogether freed
from payment of further Premiums, and yet hove increased an in-
creasing Packs.

Aiso, Loans are granted to Members on the security of Policies
held by them in their own right, to the extent of nine-tenths of their
value.

The Sums Assured, with Additions, now amount to upwards of
7,( 00,0001.
The Capital Accunatdated and Invested now amoun's to upwards
of 2,070,000!., and the Annual Revenue to upwards of 300,000!.
And by last Annual Report, the deaths and relative claims were
in the ratio of only 5314 per cent. of what might have been ex-
pected according to the Tables upon which tke Society's calculations
are based.

Prospectuses and every Information may be readily obtained on
application at the Head Office or any of the ,-cciety's Agencies.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

We are happy to state that the worthy Rear-Admi-
ral Superintendent of Portsmouth-yard was decidedly
better yesterday.
The Fairy, royal yacht, Master Commander Welsh,
with Captain Crispin on board, proceeded to Osborne
on Saturday, and conveyed Lord John Russell from
thence to Southampton, en route to town.
The Fairy proceeded to Osborne again yesterday,
at two o'clock.
The Sampson, steam-frigate, under charge of Mr.
Henderson, master-attendant of Devonport-yard,
navigated by a party of riggers, arrived at Portsmouth
yesterday, having on board the marines, seamen, gun-
ners, and some others of the crew of the Constance
frigate, paid off on Saturday. The Sampson will
proceed on to Woolwich to-day for the purpose of
receiving new boilers.
The Myrtle steamer sailed from Portsmouth for
Devonport, with supereumeraries, on Friday last.
The officers composing the court of inquiry on
hoard the Eurydice closed their business on Priday
afternoon at Portsmouth, and on Saturday their re-
port was transmitted to the Admiralty. It is gene-
rally known that no court-martial will take place on
the first-lieutenant, but what ulterior proceedings tnay
be adopted by the Admiralty towards the complain-
ants remains to be seen.

We understand that Mr. Johnson, late assistant-
surgeon of the Driver, recently returned fro,n that
vessel in the Pacific, has received a letter from the
Admiralty, stating that they no longer require his
services, and he has consequently been discharged
from the service.

The Eurydice, notwithstanding the exceedingly
bad weather, is now nearly dismantled at Portsmouth;
she is to pay off on Thursday next.
The Contest, 12, Commander the Hon. W. S.
Spencer, was taken out of the basin alongside the
Pitchhouse jetty, Portsmouth, on Friday. She has
not yet received her crew, but her complement
has been made from the guard-ships ; she is ready for
their reception. She has been rigged and turned
out of hand by the dockyard riggers in a most com-
plete and seamanlike manner. All her running
rigging, even her studding-sail gear is rove, so that
as soon as her crew are on aboard she will be ready
for sea. She takes out the African mail of the Ist of
January, but whether she will remain on the coast
station is a query.
The " Sailor's Home" at Portsmouth has re-
ceived the very liberal donation of 50/. from Com-
mander Robert Coote, now studying at the Royal
Naval College; he has also consented to be placed on
the committee of management of that institution.
