The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
_he Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis-
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PRE NI lUM SYSTEM. -By this plan only one-half of the
premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p dd
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 little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are 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.
PA RTN ER-HIP POLIC I ES are granted, whereby ajoint 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-
' mg the whole capital, amt 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.
Ne Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the ....tamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
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
connexion with this Company.

14LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Moak ear,

York,

" To 31r. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.

" Six,—slaving suffered most dreadfully for the last six years iron:
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the bes:
medical advic, I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Itheumatic Fills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering she most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke
in
the morning coniiaratively free from pain; and beton I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very niuch improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and tt ey all 'peak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effcc:ed by your
wonderful medicine,) ou are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects ci this
valuable medicine, which affords t• the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
.certain relief.

They require Neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

FIRE AT LIMNER'S HOTEL.—Yesterday morning,
at an early hour, considerabie alarm was► caused in
George•street, Hanover-square, in consequence of a fire
breaking out in the extensive pile of premises belong..
ing to Mr. Charles Renaud, termed Limmer's Hotel.
the flames commenced iu the second floor front, occupied
as a sleeping apartment. The firemen succeeded in con-
fining the flames to that portion ot the property in which
they originated, but not until nearly the whole of the
bedding and furniture in the room were destroyed. The
outbreak was caused from a spark flying out ot a lighted
candle, and tailing upon the bed-curtains. Mr. Renaud
was insured in the Sun Fire-office.

[ADvERTIBEMENT —Ringworms, Scorbutic'Afft)c-
tions, and other Sk.n Diseases, Curable by Holloway's Oint-
ment and the East Indies, diseases of the skin are
very prevalent among the natives, and Holloway's Ointment
and Pillshave been most successfully used in a variety of cases.
The Editor of the Nofunilite instances that of a Coolie em-
ployed in his establishm..nt who was afflicted with myriads of
Hingwot ms, which defied all the 'Alerut doctors, and promised
to devour the poor man, before he was even under ground.
Holloway's Pill. and Ointment were then tried, and in a month
he was perfectly restored to his former healthy conditicn and
cleanliness of skin. Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor
Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE•
MALTA, JUNE 2.—The arrirtl of the Powerful, 84,
from Naples this morning forms the only item of ❑ews
since my last. It is thought she will go to Constan-

tinople.
Great complaints are made that a hospital capable of
containing 150 men, situate at Vivoriesa, is not now in
use. The sick of the 44th Reserved Battalion at Fort
Ricasoli are obliged to crawl up, under a burning sun,
to the military hospital iu Valletta.
The United States: steamer Allegheny, from Tunis,
arrived here on the 31st tit. She will remain here for
a short time, and return to Spezzia. ,
PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—A court martial is ordered
to assemble on board the Victory, 104, Captain Black-
wood, flag of Admiral the Hon. Sir Bladen Lapel,
Commander-in-Chief of this port, on Wednes-
day morning at nino o'clock, to try Mr. Rattray, gunner
of the Blenheim steam guard-ship, acting
Stevens, on a charge of drunkenness. Captain J. A.
The Basilisk and Niger experimental steam sloops,
under the command of Captain H. T. Austen, C 8., are
hourly expected to return here, having left Penzance on
the 6th.
Wind—N.E., moderate, and'cloudy weather.
PLYMOUTH, JUNE 9.—Her Majesty's packet Pen
guin was towed by the Confiance steam-vessel: from
Hamoeze into the Sound, and sailed fur Falmouth on
Thursday,
Her Majesty's brig Hound, Commander Granville H.
Woed, is ordered home from the West Indies to be paid
off et this port.
In the Dockyard, George Graton, shipwright, has
been superannteded on 24/, per annum; John Rees, ship-
wright, on 23/.; John Fowell, first-class fireman of
smiths, 34/.; and John Williams, labourer, on 101.
The works of the Niobe, 26, building at this yard,
have so far progressed that she is nearly ready for
launching. She is to be fitted for ordinary.
The Ringdove, 16. built in 1833, 429 tons, is ordered
to be broken up at Devonport. She is one of Sir W.
Symond's ships.
The Pack.t-ehip American Eagle.—The removal of
the sick passengers from; this ship to the hulk has
proved, decidedly advantageous. Only one death, a
young English girl, aged twelve, has occurred since
Thursday. The report, to-day, of Mr. Francis Fox, the
active surgeon in charge on board her Majesty's ship
Tyne, says, " There are no new cases of confirmed
cholera since Thursday morning. Diarrhea still con-
tinues. Tho two cases (cholera) undsr treatment at last.
report are proceeding favourably." The entire mortality
from Sunday last, when the Eagle left Portsmouth, is
me lye, viz , four in the Channel and eight in the Sound;
only one of the latter was caused by sickness, which be-
gan after the vessel entered the port.
• Dr. Sutherland, Government medical inspector, exa-
mined the American Eagle this morning, and the Board of
Health bite sent instructions to the guardians of the peor,of
the borough of Plymouth to see that the ship is properly
cleansed sod fumigated before she leaves the port. Mean-
time, the American Consul, Mr. T. W. Fox, has andel-
phted this order. It is, however, proper to state that
the steerage accommodations for passengers on board the
American Eagle, which is bound to New York, are by
no means equal to those on board the emigration ships
which ate so constantly leaving this port for the Aus-
tralian colonies.
A few deaths from cholera have occurred during the
last fortnight at the small village of Noss, eight miles
distant, but the sickness there is gradually diminishing.
In the town of Plymouth the registrar of births and
deaths says, " The mortality at this period is pectiliarly
light, and it has been decreasing in amount for some
time past, an evident proof that the general health is
good."
Light southerly wind; fine weather.

THE CHOLERA AT PLYMOUTH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,— rhe Mayor of Plymouth has requested me
send you a local paper containing an accurate ac-
count of the appearance of the cholera in this
vicinity, as the number of deaths reported in your
paper of yesterday exceeds all that have occurred from
the time the ship left Portsmouth to the present hour,
the total of that number being only 12. There are
several cases of diarrhoea on board, but I am happy
to be informed that there is not at present any decided

DRURY-LANE THEATRICAL
FUND.
The anniversary festival of, the Drury-lane Theatrical
Fund was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-
street, yesterday evening. when about 180 gentlemen
sat down to a sumptuous dinner. The Duke of Beaufort
occupied the chair, in the absence of his Royal Highness
the Duke of Catnbridge,who was p-evented from attend-
ing by his Royal Highness's weak state of health.
There was a very full attendance of the patrons and
friends of the national drama, and the proceedings of
the evening proved satisfactorily the • continued interest
in a society founded by the late David Garrick in 1766,
and incorporated by Act of Parliament in 1775," for the
relief and support of indigent and decayed members of
her Majesty's Company of Comedians (subscribers to
the same), their widows, and children." The musical
arrangements were under the excellent direction of Mr.
,Sterndale Bennett, assisted by a number of vocalists of
high reputation, among whom Herr Rilman Muller,
Mr. Leffler, Mr:Charles Braham, Mr. G. Genge (whose
admirable singing was cheered to the very echo), Miss
Eliza Nelson, and others. Mr. Sedgwick performed two
solos on the concertina, which were enthusiastically
and deservedly applauded.
The usual loyal toasts having been given ex cdthedra
and duly responded to,
Captain CHAPPELL, R.N., who had returned thanks
on behalf of the army and navy, next gave " The health
of their Noble Chairman, the Duke of Beaufort," who
bad always evinced the liveliest interest in the welfare
of the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund.—(Hear, hear.)
Drank with honours.

The Noble CHAIRMAN briefly ackcowledged the com-
pliment, and then pruceedvd to give the toast of the
evening, in doing which he "said he was happy at any
circumstance which brought hini in contact with thw
members of a profession which was one of the most re-
si,ectahle in the community.—(tlear, hear.) The Noble
Duke con&uded by giving, " Prosperity to the Drury-
lane Theatrical Fund, in conjunction with the health of
Mr. HArley, the treasurer, and those who bad worked in
conjunction with him "—(Great cheering.)

Mr. HARLEY, in rising to respond to the toast, was re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheering for some moments.
When order had been restored he spoke as follows:
May it pleaae you my Lord Duke, my Lords, and Gen-
tlemen—lf, on the present occasion, I speak by*the card
—(Laughter)—it is because I have a particular one to
play, which, in the playing, requires more than common
conciseness and correctness. It has been the uniform
practice of him on whom devolved the honour of ad-
dressing you in reply to the last toast—(so eloquently
given, and so cordially responded to)—to speak of the
British stage as an intellectual and refined amusement,
recessing its tone from, and giving its tone to, a noble,
enlightened, and generous people, and, const quently,
to
enlist your sympathy in behalf of its professors, whom
old age, premature decay, or adverse fortune, had com-
pelled to a licit your benevolence.—(Cheers.) That
these imperfect, but earnest appeals have hitherto been
crowned with success, very many of your histrionic fa-
vourites can bear ample and grateful testimony. The
downward path of their declining years has been
smoothed by your bounty. Ad that was necessary to
say upon this subject. having from time to time, been
said, I shall not travel over the statue ground again,
much less introduce any lachrymose rewa, ks on the
altered condition of the British stage, which has ren-
dered these annual appeals somewhat perplexing, if not
painful, to the speaker. It is an old adage, that to be
poor, and to look poor, is very sad. Now, I would
humbly suggest, that to be accounted over rich, and ►o
csmparatively poor, is infinitely more sad.—(Laughter.)
Let the Drury-lane Theatrical Fund bear me witness.
Its cash-box, by some fabulous misconception, has been
magnified into a California in miniature.—(Laughter.)
I shall, therefore, not consider it infra dig—(Renewed
laughter)—to dispel, not by figures of speech, but of
arithmetic, this pleasant delusion. For an oration I beg
leave to substitute an account, and, in moving for the
supplies, to cast off Comedy for Cocker.—(Laughter.)
Now for a public peep into our presumed Potosi. I must
look sharp after this superabundant balance, for I
shrewdly suspect that modest item will be very shy of
showing itself. The annual income derived from the
various property belonging to this plethoric fund—(A
laugh)—amounts to 1,353/. 10s., to which is to be added
the also yearly sum of 195/.los. 2d., received from thirty-
six subscribing members (some old favourites, mark),
making a sum total (pray cheque me, as I proceed) of
1,549/. Os. 2d. Touching the per contra (there are al-
ways two sides of a question!) to fifteen annuitants,
varying in age from fifty to ninety, we pay the yearly
sum of 974/. 95., making their average income 651.
(not, we lain hope, too liberal a modicum for the
veterans whose best days have been assiduously de
voted to your service), leaving an overplus of 5741.
I Is. 21. to meet incidental charges (which, with the
strictest economy, exceed 150/. annually), and to relieve
non-subscribers, whose sharp necessities have long been,
and still are, pressing upon our resources. Whatever
balance remained, after these deductions, was added to
our capital, in order to provide for additional claims that
are constantly occurring, from subscribers being com-
pelled to avail themselves of this fund. In proot of my
assertion, we are in expectation of having very speedily,
it not immediately, six more annuitants to pay, which
will be a further yearly demand upon us of 4761. What,
then, will remain for actual charges and incidentai
charity? On these two accounts we shall be te,sitively
minus if deprived of. your benevolence, and our only a;--
tentative wilt be either to reduce very considerably the
present and future annuities, or to trench upon our copi
ed. These anniversaries have a twofold object, to en•
able your almoners to iucreose the too frugal comforts o.
their annuitants, by appealing to your benevolence, anal
to bring together, in festive harmony, the drama',
patrons. That we have not on former occasions
furnished you with a dry financial detail, but simply
asked your credence, was not because there
was anything to conceal, as this statement will.
I hope, fully bear out, but their having been bruited
abroad sundry brobtlignagisn reports—(Laughter)—
(would they were fact, not fiction) of our monster
means, I take the liberty of presenting this plain tale of
pounds, shillings, and pence, in order to put them down.
The continued patronage of our most. gracious Sove-
reign, and her munificent donation of 501.—(Cheers)—
have this day been awarded us, both of which favours
we receive with deep gratitude; and without presuming
too much upon our humble deserts, may we not fairly
tut, r that the presence of your Grace is significant of
your approval? We thank you heartily—yea, heartily,
for all that you have done to assist us in carrying ow`
the philanthropical intentions of our honoured founder.
To every patron, present and absent, we also tender our
sincere thanks. It is for you, my Lord Duke, my Lords,
and Gentlemen, to decide how far this fund can afford
to lose the liberal patronage you have so long and so
kindly vouchsafed us. It is for you, Sirs, to say if an
average annuity of 65/. (with the certainty of a consi-
derable reduction it your decision prove adverse to our
hopes) is a stipend too extravagant for those who, iu
happier and more prosperous times, did the drama some
service.—(Cheers.) To your award we shall bow will,
respect. You are now in full possession of the figures
and the faot a. You have plucked out the heart of out
mystery—if mystery there eve r was any. We cordially
thank you for the past, and we look forward hopefully
to have to thank you for the future. In conclusion, I
have the pleasure to announce that the British Drama
will, at Christmas next, at her ancient classic locality,
Old Drury, be once more at home !—(Loud and long
continued cheers.)
The Noble CHAIRMAN then said, on the last occasion,
when he had the honour to fill the chair at the festival of
this society, he ventured to make some remarks on the
company which was then performing at Drury-lane
'theatre. He regretted on that occasion the fact that
then the two great national theatres in this metropolis
were occupied by foreigners, however great their merit:
might be. Those theatres were not then the scene of the
legitimate drama. He hoped, in the words of Mr.
Harley, that a change had taken place, and that at
Christmas next one of those theatres at least would re-
sume its proper position. The Noble Chairman con•
eluded by giving " The Drury-lane Theatre and the
legitimate dratua, and success to Mr. Anderson, the new
lessee."—(Cheers.)
Air. skew:llBoe responded to the toast in a rsmark-
ably eleque ut speech. The drama, he said, was as in-
destructible as truth itself; it would live to eternity.
While civilization continued to spread its influence
.round, while we had poets existing and breathing.
while the sparks of Shakspe re's mute of fire kindled
lie hearts of Englishmen the drama could not die.—
(Chet rs.) With reference to the tact et his having he
come the future lessee of Drury-lane Theatre he (Mr,
Anderson) had been told by ►ome that it was a forlorn
hope. Let it be so ; the greater the danger the greater
:he glory. Ile had no tear as to the result; if he
succeeded, it would be a pleasure indeed; but it he failed,
his great atte aspt honoured his fueeral.—(Applause.)
The amount of subscriptions announced during the
eour-e of the evening was nearly 60C1., including a dona-
tion from her Maje►ty of 50/.
The Noble CHAIRMAN then gave "The Ladies," and
the company separated at halt-past ten.
Among the comp Any present were Dr. Roberts, of
Bridge •street, Blockfriars; Reheats, Esq., Thomas
Landseer, Esq., H. E. Houle, Esq., William Riddell, Esq.,
cum inultis aliis.
Mr. Thomas officiated as toast-master. .

CROSBY HALL.—Miss Rafter late of the Princess's
Theatre gave her first concert last night, which went off
with great eclat. The fair ben,ficiaire was encored twice
in the first part of the concert where she sung Guglielmi's
" Gratias Agimus " and " Where the bee sucks " with
great sweetness and charming effect. Miss Rafter
sweet
was
assisted by her sister Miss Lucyeopt Rafter, whose
atio voice was most eff•ctive in Weber's fine trio,
"Where, what, 0 terror " from Der Freischutz, also
by her brother Mr. Rafter, who was encored in the
"Bay of Biscay," Miss Bassano in the favourite cavatina
from Betley, was highly successful' The first part of
ihe concert concluded with a comic song written and
sung by Mr. W. Ball, called •• Captain Ross," which was
encored when he ,übstituted another. The only instru
mental piece (luring he concert was a solo on the violin.
Thill• n,
by Mazas, which was admirably played by M.
in a style c whining puri:y of tone and brilliancy o'
execution, he was warmly and deservedly applauded
Herr Mengbi a and Mr. and Mrs. Donald King, con
tributed much to the bIICCeSS of the entertainments. The
hall was crowded.
