DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
Ey the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
rfford 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 easing, 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 giYing 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 his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
rages which the judicious application of a small saving cabs secure
through this Society.. • -

LIVES OF THE PRINCESSES OF ENGLAND. By
MRS EVERETT GREEN.—This most interesting. biogra-
phical work could not have appeared at a more favour-
able moment, being admirably adapted as a Christmas
Offering for our fair countaywonecn. The Britannia,
in its review, justly observes, "It is a mosf agreeable
book, and forms a meet companion for the work of Miss
Strickland, to which, indeed, it is an indispensable ad-
dition. 'Thu authoress, already favourably known to the
learned world by her excellent co!lection ce: Letters of
Royal and Illustrious Ladies,' has executed her task
with great skill and fidelity. Every page displays careful
research and accuracy. There is a graceful combination
of sound, historical erudition, with an air of romance and
adventure that highly pleasing, and renders the work
at once an' agreeable companion of the boudoir, and a
valuable addition to the historical library. Mrs. Green
has entered upon an untrodden path, and gives to her
biographies an air of freshness and novelty very alluring.
The present volumes (including the Lives of twenty-five
Princesses) carry us from the daughters of the Con-
queror to the family of Edward L—a highly interesting
period, replete with curious illustrations of the genius
and manners of the middle ages. Such works, from the
truthfulness of their spirit, furnish a more lively picture
of the times than even the graphic, though delusive,
pencil of Scott and James."
THE POST OFFICE SUNDAY DUTIES.—The whole
of the district surveyors to the General Post-office in
the country have been summoned to St. Martin's-le-
Grand, and have been closeted with Mr. Rowland Hill
several times for hours together. The precise object of
the consultations has not transpired; but it is understood
they have reference to the best and most satisfactory
plan for abolishing the blank day circulation of letters
and relieving the provincial forwarding offices from
Sunday labour. The district surveyors, seven in number,
are very superior officers of the Post-office department,
and their official residences being in distant parts of the
country, they are never all summoned to meet in London
but for some important purpose. The official residences
of the surveyors are at Ipswich, Derbyt Gloucester,
Dorking, Peuritb, Exeter, and Oswestry.

exile at Shumla. Previously he was accused, by
these veracious assailants, of having purloined the
regalia of ST. STEPHEN ; and when it undeniably
appears before the world that those jewels
have never once been seen by him, much
less come into his possession, the baffled
detractors of the expatriated charge him with a
crime of a still more flagrant nature—namely, with
having " gambled away a sum of money belonging
to some orphans, which (the money, we presume,
not the orphans) had been deposited in his
hands." Now, be it remembered that KOSSUTH is
a man of such large renown that his whole life is
before the world—has been, in fact, for some long
time past before the world—scrutinized with earnest
attention, and printed, and published, and read in
all the different languages of Europe ! Be it
remembered, also, that the individual who makes
the charge referred to has, within a very recent
period, been exposed to the gaze of England in his
true colours as a slanderer ! Be it remembered that
this calumniator is still screening himself
under the shadow of the anonymous ! that
in bringing forward his present accu-
sation he finds it impossible to authen-
ticate it by a single name of any one of the
parties said to have been concerned in the transac

tion ! and that the statement is nothing more than a
scrambling translation of a paragraph picked up by a
German penny-a-liner, in some hole and cor-
ner, and inserted, still and • ever under
the mask of the anonymous, in the columns of a cer-
tain Bohemian newspaper. It is the old story im-
mortalized by G0LD2.3.11T11, of the cat being frightened
by tha splintering of a china chimney-jar, struck by
a bullet that glanced off at a right angle through the
parlour-window, and hit the postman, who
was just then coming round the corner with a double
letter from Yorkshire. This crowning testimony of.
ill will towards the brave but fallen leader of the
Hungarians specks for itself; it requires no comment
from us in token of its matcless magnanimity.

FRANCE.

The 211oniteur Algerien, of the 10th, announces
that after the capture of Zaatcha, all the popula-
tions of the Ziban, who had been waiting the
issue, hastened to the camp of General Herbillon
to give hostages for their submission, and for the
payment of fines inflicted on them. Colonel
Daumas, after having established the French
authority in Bou Cada, and among the neigh-
bouring fractions of the Ouled Nails, had sent
forces against the Ouled-Ameur-Ben-Yeradj,
owing to the unsatisfactory replies they had made to
his demands; and on the 29th ultimo an engagement
took place at Djebel-Messad, which ended by the
defeat of the enemy, and by their tents and great part
of their flocks falling into thelpossession of the French,
after which they made their submission. The loss of
the French in the affair was only a few killed and
wounded. The defeat of the Ouled-Ameur-Ben-
Feradj, joined to the taking of Zaatcha, caused such
a profound impression, that another important frac-
tion of the same tribe, which had been resisting, made
their submission also.

NEVI' MUSIC.

MARCII ON TO GLORY; or LIBERTY to
the lIUNGARIANS. A New Song for one or
two Voices. Dedicated to Kossuth and his Brave
Companions in Exile.
This song written, as the author tell us, in " exe-
cration of those savage nations who punish patriotism
with death," is a bold and spirited composition, and-
when the sung by the veteran :fom a "it stirs
up the heart like a trumpet." Tom Phillips, by
horn this song is sung, and for whose benefit it is
published, has been for the last half century one of
the very best of our table vocalists, and the last of the
Incledon school, as he was justly designated by Pro-
fessor Taylor. He is now 72 years of age, but still
retains his vocal powers in a surprising manner. He
has, however, cflatefallen into " the sere and yellow
leaf," and we hope the publication of this song may be
of as much benefit to him as he himself could wish.

THE GEORGINE SCHOTTISCHE, as per-
formed at Her Majesty's State Balls, Almack's, and
composed and dedicated to Miss F. Hare, by Wel-
lington Guernsey.
Mr. Guernsey in this trifle has displayed the most
consummate knowledge of the composition of dance
music. The elegant and original style of the melody,
with its well-marked rhythm, is clear and striking.
The change of key from G major to B natural is
judiciously contrasted with the movement of the third
part in C major, which is fancifully conceived, and
felicitously portrayed. To all lovers of dance music
the " Georgine Schottische" will be a novelty as pleas•
ing as it is original.

Chief Priestess of the Drama's stateliest dome—
Informing Spirit of its rescued shrine—
Ten thousand welcomes to thy proper home,
Our best, our own, Antigone divinel—
There be the music of thy voice enspher'd,
The beauty of thy mind and features seen;
There, whew the spells of genius were !Treed,

Renew those spells, and reign—our tragic Queen!
Thou com'st of one, a Titan of the time,
A model of the truthful and the grand—
Majestic Creon—and thy task 's sublime,
Daughter and Sire, to re-arouse the land,
And of its native Drama's priceless worth
To ring the triumphs far o'er Britain—o'er the earth!

Tun PRINCE or WALES.—A paragraph has been
going the round of the newspapers with regard to an
asserted narrow escape of the Prince of \Vales at
Osborne. We are authorised to state that there is
not one word of truth in the whole of the very cir-
cumstantial narrative. There are no preserves at
Osborne, and consequently no battues, and Lord
Canning has never been out shooting there under any
circumstances. The whole foundation for the exag-
geration is, that several weeks since, at a shooting
party in Windsor Park, Colonel Grey was struck by
a stray shot, and Lord Canning was amongst the
shooters, and was not very well. All the statement
about the hare, the danger of the Prince of Wales, and
Colonel Grey's throwing himself before the young
Prince, is pure invention.
DEATit OF SIR THOMAS GIBE,ON CARMICHAEL,
BART.—We have to record the demise, at Naples, on the
13th inst., of the above baronet. The deceased, who
was son of the eighth baronet. and grandson of the late
Sir James Gibscn, of Durie, N. 13., was born in 1778, and
was twice married; first to Janet, the daughter of the
late Major-General Dundas; and, sccond'y, in June,

THE MURDER AT BRISTOL.

BRISTOD, DEC. 25.—The inquest on the body of
Braund, who was shot on Sunday afternoon
by Alfred Dauncy, a lad fourteen years of age, was
held yesterday afternoon, at the Hope- and Anchor,
Redcliff hill. The jury having heen duly sworn, and
the Coroner having briefly narrated the facts of the
case, the following evidence was adduced :
Henry Colgan, of No. 13, Bishop-street, Brown's-
road, Bedminster, depesed that he was nineteen years
of age. The body he had seen was the body of IVil-
liana Braund, also about nineteen years of age. He
was in the employ of Mr. Gillett, wine-merchant,
Redcliff street, end witness was on terms of intimacy
with him. On Sunday afternoon, about three
o'clock, the deceased culled on witness and ha went
out with him. At about half-past four o'clock they
were going over Bedminster bridge, and another per-
son was with them named Horgan. Two lads were
leaping the iron posts on the bridge; they were the
prisoner Dauncy and a lad named Collins. Horgan said
to them " Over it," end they turned round and called
him " lubberhead" and other names. Witness and
his companions walked on to Brown's-road, and the
two boys followed, calling them names and abusing
them. As they were passing along the Cut, Collins
pulled out a life-preserver, and the deceased told him
he would tell his mother f him if he did not be quiet.
With that Collins shook the life-preserver at him,
threatening he would do for him. The deceased went
to catch hold of it, and Collins struck at him with it.
A. severe struggle took place between them, the
dePeased endeavouring to take the life-preserver from
Collins. The prisoner Dauncy then 'pulled out a
pistol and threatened three or four times that he would
shoot the deceased (Braund) with it if he did not let
Collins alone. Collins and Braund at this time were
struggling on the ground. Braund immediately got
up, and Dauncy shot him with the pistol and instantly
ran away. Some people tried to stop him, and he
flung the pistol at them. He was stopped at the
corner of Brownston -yard, in the Cut, and given into
the custody of the police.
The CORONER—Did he say anything ?
Witness—he was sitting on the pavement at the
time, and he said " Let me rest." Witness then
went back to Braund and found him supported in the
arms of several people. He was bleeding from the
mouth very much. He was quite speechless, and
was taken to the hospital. The deceased was quite
sober, and so was witness ; they had net been into a
public-house. Witness had seen the prisoner three
or four times before, but he did not then know his
name. He was not aware of any ill feeling existing
between Dauncy and the deceased. The lad present
in the custody of the police was Dauncy, and he shot
the deceased, William Braund.

In answer to Mr. Ayre, attorney, who attended to
watch the case for the prisoner, the witness said he
did not s2e Dauncy put a cap on the pistol.
Mr. Samuel Brown sworn, said he was a ma-
gistrate of the city of Bristol. an Sunday after.
noon, between four and five o'clock, he was at

The plaintiff in this action is an attorney, and (Wen-
dant is an auctioneer in the City. The plaintiff claimed
151 15,. on the defendant's guarantee for costs in takirg
a person named Lockwood through the Insolvent
Debtors' Court.

Judgment was allowed to go by derault, but a Mr.
Munn; appeared to watch the proceedings, stating that
judgment had been signed through the error of defen-
dant's attorney.
Mr. Sadgrovo called his clerk, who proved that tl e
charges were such as allowed by the Insolvent Cou $
rules ; 31. 3s. had been paid on account.
Mr. Horner then urged that the verdict must be for
nominal damages, for the declaration stated that the bill
was for work and labour done fur defendant, and at his
request, whereas it was done for a third party; but as
judgment had gone by default, a verdict must go against
defendant; but if he had pleaded, plaintiff must have
been nonsuited.

The Learned SECONDARY left the case as it stood to
the jury, and directed a verdict for 12/. 12a.

WORSHI.I3-STREET.-.(THIS DAY.)

Daniel Lorden, a weaver, living in Parliament•court,
Artillery-ground, was charged before Mr. Hammill with
committing the following murderous assau't upon hia
wife, Catherine Lorden, who is in the London Hospital,
and who was unable to attend in consequence of the se-
vere injuries she has received.
Policeman Kelly, U division, said that about twelve
o'clock on Monday night he was on duty in the Artil-
lery-ground, when the prisoner's daughter came up to him
and requested him to accompany her home, observing
that her father was murdering her mother, and that he
had struck her a violent blow on her head with an iron
bar. He proceeded there, and found the woman seated
in a chair; her clothes were covered with blood. He
spoke to her, and found her insensible. The prisoner
then remarked that t•he had fallen over the table. His
daughter observed." Oh, no, father, you struck mother
with a bar of iron."

Inspector Veone, H division, produced an iron bar, on
which there were marks of blood. He also produced a
certificate from the London Hospital, in which it was
stated that she was in danger.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

What th© public wants on an occasion of such im

minent and grinding emergency is, not any fanciful
speculations, or elaborated theories, or inge-
nious suppositions—but facts, facts, facts. Facts
the most naked. Facts the most simple.
Facts the most vivid and undeniable. Hence
we cannot but think the majority will be disposed
to laugh with a sort of savage indignation at such

propositions as that one seriously made by the Corn

• .
misioners as to the employment of a fire or garden-
engine for the purpose of effectually cleansing the low
courts and alleys of the metropolis, and to coincide
implicitly and entirely with a correspondent of one of
our morning contemporaries, who has pronounced the
views of the Bo trd in regard to aymotic poisons as
equally idle phantasms with the Phlogiston of STAHL
and the Vortices of DESCARTES.

Amon4 all the numberless suggestions as to the
origin of the prevailing epidemic, not one has
appeared to us so singularly felicitous, because so
possible, so probable, so rational, as the one mado
by this same anonymous correspondent—writing
under the psuedonym of " Anti-Zymosis." According
to his argument, the cholera is nothing more nor less
than the result of a deficiency of ozone in the atmo•
sphere. The reas,-)ni ng is founded upon the following
elementary truths - facts removed beyond the reach
of all denial :
" 1. That the electrical intensity of the atmosphere has
doling the whole of the year 1;43:i , u
aonlTrly diminishin
one half that of
gg
former %ears; that it has tr..e'i r
since January up to a certain period; and then remained
for some time stationary.
"2. That 01 ne is a product of electrical Retien'
h _a
tly _hat _he arrilnr t of it in the atmosphere
varies in an exa"t raft, with the pleerr,eal intensity!
"3. That ozone combines with and changes in the
nil .c.i.A.LI matter—except albumen most rapid mane , r
in its fresh state—Ind that it immediately deprives the
must putrid and solid bodies of all disagreeable smell.
"4. Thy- daring,- *he list three months not even the
minutest quantity of ozone has been nor could be de-
tected in the air of London.
"5. That during the prevalence of influenza and the
spread of catarrhal affections there is invariab:y an ex-
cess of oz ,ne in the atmosphere.
"6. Th .t ozone is always formed durin combustion."
