In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, Assurances may be effected at
ow Rates without participation in the Profits; or at moderate Rates
with participation in one moiety of the Profits every seven years. At
each of the three Septennial Divisions which this Company has made,
:he Bonuses amounted to about 1 per cent. per annum on the sum
Issured, or about 27 per cent. on the amount of premium received;
ind the whole amount of Reversionary Bonus allotted by the Com-
oany exceeded 530,000/.
LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
tttained in each case a value not under 501.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
n the 6th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1848, and the same
s now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),
etween the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and

HULL, JULY 3.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—With a
somewhat increased import during the past week, business on
the whole has been very lifeless ; some portion of the arrival
has been merely in transit, and the bulk of what offers on this
market is priced at rates which buyers are not yet disposed to
give, in fact the whole character of the trade is retail, and
speculation is almost unknown. We have had, on the whole,
seasonable weather, though more sun is now desirable. The
probability is that harvest will be ten to fourteen dayslater than
last year. There was but little life in to-day's market ;
being moderately in stock, are not needy buyers, and hence
hold back from complying with the advance demanded by both
farmers and factors. The former sought a further advance of
2s to 3s per quarter to-day, and factors expected a full shilling,
but no improvement could be established on last week's rates,
indeed these were only maintained for picked samples. Spring
corn has been in general improved request during the week,
and to.day grinding barley makes is more money, while fine
qualities are less sought after. Beans are also more in demand,
and the stock on hand a good deal reduced. In oats, peas, rye,
or Indian corn, we have but little doing. No alteration in the
value of linseed, but the market very firm, which may also be
said of cakes, both English and fere!gn, for present and for-
ward delivery. Nothing doing in rapeseed, and for rape cakes
the demand is very slow. Irregular prices prevail for bones
apportioned to the daily supply and demand, the season being
all but over.

LIVERPOOL, Arm( 3.—At this day's market there was a fair
attendance of the trade, and a good business was done in wheat
and flour, at fully the prices of this day week. Oats and oat-
meal remained neglected and without change. Barley, beans,
and peas, were in moderate request at late rates. There was
some inquiry for Indian corn, but owing to the heavy arrivals
a decline of Is 6d to 2s per quarter on yellow, and is per quarter
on white was submitted to.
CHELMSFORD, JUNE 29.—With a very thin attendance,
a rather limited supply, and an extremely slack trade. Wheats
of the best quality realised an advance of is per quarter, and
inferior samples produced quite as much money as last
week. All else dull at those quotations, excepting
Partridge Peas, which were scarce, and much in demand.
Wheat, white, old 46s to 565; new 453 to 525; red, old

Diffidence,

of caution and worldly prudence, and the Indissoluble, regretenpsing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity,
x roand broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not he the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justicedentand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
