. DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

Ey 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, e. large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any thee, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, 9t 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 his payments will be returned to his representatives.
Ike following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving ems secure
through this Society.

The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are *slow as a duo 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 paid
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 live 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 oranted. 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.
PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. Os 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 Admissioc 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 of
the assured life.

KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES.-
A certain remedy for disorders of the Pulmonary Organs—
in Difficulty of Breathing—in Redundancy of Phlegm—in Incipient
Consumption (of which Cough is the most positive indication) they
are of unerring efficacy. In Asthma and in Winter Cough they have
never been known to fail. KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES are
free from every deleterious ingredient ; they may, therefore, be
taken at all times by the most delicate female and by tke youngest
child ; while the Public Speaker and the Professional Singer will
find them invaluable in allaying the hoarseness and irritation inci
dental to vocal exertion, and consequently a powerful auxiliary in
the production of melodious enunciation.

RETURNS of the BOARD of TRADE.
The returns of the Board of Trade again show re-
markable results. In the month ending the sth of
November, there has been an increase in the exports as
compared with the corresponding month of last year of
1,011,3501., and the favourable fact is at the same time
observable that the main portion of this increase is
independent of the nominal augmentation caused by the
rise in cotton as well as of all other accidental causes,
since it is distributed with more equality than has been
observed even on former recent occasions through every
branch of industry. The specific increase or decrease
on each production 'exhibits only three items, and these
of a wholly unimportant character.
The entire increase in exports during the first ten
months of the present year, as compared with the ten
corresponding months of 1848, has now reached the
enormous sum of 9,306,9041., the totals respectively
being 49,398,648/, against 40,091,7441.; while, as con-
trasted with 1846 and 1847, there is likewise an excess
of nearly 4,000,0001. These results will explain the
constant influx of specie from all parts, which, again,
by stimulating production through the low rate of in-
terest for capital, will tend to promote a continuance of
activity.

with respect to imports, the totals of grain and flour
for the month show a large comparative increase. In
other articles of food there has been for the most part
an increase in the quantities taken for home consumption,
coffee being almost the only article exhibiting a decline.
The following are the comparative imports and ex-
portssil of raw material, showing again a large increase in
k:_

In the remaining articles of import the general move-
ments have been as follows:—As regards dyes and dye-
ing stuffs, an increase is shown in lac dye, logwood,
madder, cutch, and valonia, with a decrease in all other
descriptions. In ornamental glass manufactures, quick-
silver, hides, and metals, there is a large increase, and
also in oils, except olive. In timber there has been an
increase in British, and a decrease in foreign, both as
respects the quantities imported and the quantities taken
for comsumption.

THE FORTHCOMING ELECTIONS FOR COMMON COUN-
CILMEN.-ill the forthcoming elections for Common
Councilmen of the City of London, the new Act of
Parliament, 12 and 13 Victoria, cap. 94 (local), will
come into operation. Under this Act a list of freemen
occupiers fur each ward has been made, excluding, for
the first time, the right of voting to joint occupiers to
the value of 101. According to the sixth section the
pull is to be kept open only ono day, and in lieu of the
oath required by the former Act for the regulation of
the City, the voters are now to make a declaration. By
one of the provisions any freeman of the City rated at
101. a year, whether a sole or joint occupier of premises,
is eligible to be elected a Common Councilman for the
ward in which the premises are situate, and who shall
be registered in the register of voters for the city of
London in uie at elections for Members to serve in
Parliament, and then in force in respect to such pre•
mises. This Act will be enforced on St. Thomas's-day,
the 21st instant.

PUGILISM.—COOK AND BATCHELOR, FOR 201--
Yesterday this fight came off on Woking-common.
Cook, the younger man, had many physical advantages
—taller, with weight, but, as it al poared in the closes
and struggles, with less skill and quickness than his ad-
versary. At half-past twelve the men appeared in trim,
Alec Koene and Sambo attending upon Cook, while the
Batchelor was seen home to his corner by Joe Rowe and
his brother. A fight it is not our practice to describe;
the event we suppose sufficient for the reader. Batchelor
forcod the fighting, got the first event, in the first round;
lost the second by being knocked down in the second;
and thenceforward, after many changes, Batchelor fight-
ing i❑ the old Mendoza style, on both hands up; and
Cook practising on him by the modern left-handed prop,
so had him, occasionally getting his right on his ear, and
that not seldom or lightly, that at the close of the 38th
round, and 59 minutes by the clock, Batchelor's seconds
very properly through up the sponge.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Eurydice, 26, Captain Anson, landed a small
freight that she brought from the Mauritius yester-
day afternoon; it is in value about 10,0001., and•con-
sists of 80,000 tokens. Messrs. Emanuel have re-
ceived orders from tho Colonial-office to convey it to
London, and it will be delivered by them at the co-
lonial department this morning. It was late when
the Eurydice got to her moorings on Monday evening.
By some unaccountable accident last evening the
shackle got loose from the moorings and the ship went
adrift—her sails were loose to dry, a gun-lighter being
on one side, and a store-lighter on the other; however
an anchor was quickly got ready and let go, and no
other damage was done than the bowsprit of a vessel
running through the Eurydice's waist hammock-
nettings, and a poor seaman being hurt in one of his
legs. She has unbent sails, and is preparing for pay-
ing off with all dispatch. She is a very handsome
little vessel, appears to be in excellent order, and we
hear sails remarkably well, especially on a wind.
The light draught of water of the Tiger, steam-
sloop, ought to have been stated; forward, 9 feet 6,
inches; aft, 8 feet 6 inches.
The Iris, 26, was taken into dock at Chatham, on
Monday, to make good defects, and be brought for-
and for commission.

The Bloodhound's (iron steam-vessel) bottom
having been finished by Mr. Hay, she was taken out
of dock at Portsmouth last evening, and the Fire
Queen was taken in. _ _

Thirty-six labourers have been entered for the pur..
pose of carrying on the survey at Chatham Dock-
yard, ordered by the Admiralty.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.--The flag of Admiral
the lion. Sir Bladen Capel, K.C.8., the commander-
in-chief at this port, was this morning transferred
from the main of her Majesty's ship Victory to that
of her Majesty's ship Excellent, where it will re-
main, half-mast, during the period which will elapse
before the funeral of the Queen Dowager takes place,
in pursuance of Admiralty order this day promulgated,
which also decreed the royal standard should be
hoisted half-mast on board the Victory (in place of
the Port-Admiral's flag) ; that the ensigns, union-
jacks, and pennants of all her Majesty's ships and
vessels at this port should also be hoisted half-mast
high ; and that the royal standard and colours of
such (her Majesty's) ships shall continue thus hoisted
until the day of her Majesty's funeral, on which day
each ship will fire 30 minute guns. This order was
put into effect this morning, not even the royal yachts
altering the disposition of their ensigns, &c., until the
order was published, whereas, in the military depart-
ment, all the flags on the various forts and bastions
and other military establishments were hoisted half-
mast yesterday.
Another expedition to search for Sir John Franklin
having been for some days talked about as in con-
templation by the Government, the opinion most pre-
valent in naval circles in this port is decidedly against
any further waste of money and sacrifice of life and
comfort in such an adventure, which, it is believed,
will yield nothing but repeated disappointment. If
another expedition is fitted out, however, it is hoped
Rear Admiral Beaufort (the Admiralty hydrographer,
who is reported to be at the head of the new expedi-
tion movement) will be commissioned to take the
command of it.
