NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU-
RANCE SOCIETY.
26, Cornhlll, London.
Capital £.500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages
with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuties.
Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage t—provl-
Mon for the family of the Assured, and an adgmenting pecuniary
available resource to himself, if needful, whilet ivin:. The Assured
has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for-
feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid.
DIVISION OF PROFITS.

The continued prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors
at the Annual Meeting. hell on the 10th of May, 1848, to declare a
sixth bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent, on the Premiums paid
on each Policy effected-en the profit scale.

By 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 ago, er,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving 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-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
.he Company being prohibited, by the 14th 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 PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p Aid
for the first five years—tile 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
if the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little mere than half the usual rate,
end 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.
PARTNER-4IIP POLICIES 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-
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 Admission 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

So..fAitr—James Murdoch, Esq.
The barony and estate of Islay, comprising the island of Is'ay
and small adjacent islands is in the same latitude as Edinburgh and
Glasgow, and is one of the richest and most productive properties in
the west of Scotland. It contains about 140,000 acres, of which
34,000 are arable, the rest being luxuriant pasture. . .

The present rental of this magnificent property amounts at present
to 20,000/.; but a Government grant of 30,0001. is now being ex-
pended in drainage ani improvements. The rents are periodically
and legitimately increased as the leases fall in, and it is evident that
such a property must, under improved agriculture, afford a much
larger return. The purchase, it is expected, will be effected for
about 500,000/., and it is proposed to raise a capital for this purpose,
and contingent expenses, of 600,000/., in 12,000 501. shares, each
shareholder to nominate a life, and the whole body of Nominees to
be insured out of the rental, so as to secure the repayment of his
subscription to every shareholder whose nominee lapses. The
remainder of the accumulated rental is to be divided every ten years
amongst the surviving shareholders, the last survivor to inherit the
estate. On the basis of 12,000 policies, in respect of the 12,000
nominees, it is further contemplated to ingraft the general business
of a life assurance company, so as to secure an annual dividend of
profits.

Thus it will be seen that every person taking a share in the Ton-
tine, will, under any circumstances, receive back the amount of his
investment out of the assurance fund, and will also, by way •f in-
terest on his shares, receive an annual dividend out of the profits of
the general life assurance department • (and the basis and guarantee
indicated cannot fail to make this branch most extensive and lucra-
tive) ; he will, moreover, participate, every ten years his nominee
survives, in the accumulated and constantly- improving rental ; aid,
in the event of his nominee being the last survivor, will become
the absolute owner, in fee simple, of the entire estate. It is also
to be observed that, as the nominees diminish in number, the
marketable value of the shares will year after year be greatly en-
hanced.

The principles of the proposed Tontine have been maturely con-
sidered by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq , the eminent actuary of the Me-
dical and levaild Assurance Company, And received his entire ap-
probation.

The estpte is to be vested in three trustees, resident In Scotland.
The affairs of the Society shall be conducted by a board of seven
direetors in Scotland, communicating with a board of correspondence
in. London. Two general meetings shall be held in Scotland in the
months of June and December.

allowed under the Registration Act), and a call of 11. per share shall
be made on complete registration. The remainder to be called up
by such Instalments as may be found necessary to meet the payment
of the purchase money.

VI One hall the world are desolately single, and the other
opposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
-itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
•onoprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity,
.nd broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
ni social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
lement. Honour and justice demand teat health should form an iterc
0 the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er

DREADFUL AND BRUTAL MURDER.—ST. Louis,
AUG. 6, 1849.—There was a fracas in Palmyra, Mexico,
on the 2d instant, between John Wise, a clerk in the
Post-office in this city, and Thomas Hart, also of St.
Louis. Wise is said to have discovered an improper
intimacy between his wife and Hart, through an inter-
cepted letter. Wise first shot Hart with a pistol, and
then hacked him to pieces with a bowie knife.—Ame-

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.

APPREHENSION OE MARIA MANNING.
The capture of Maria Manning (alias Rue), the
female charged with having being concerned in this
horrible crime, has been effected. Thanks to the
energy and activity of our detective police force in
the first instance, and secondly, the great invention
of the age—the electric telegraph—the woman was
arrested yesterday in the city of Edinburgh, with a
large amount of property belonging to the deceased,
Patrick O'Connor, in her possession.
The circumstances under which the arrest took
place may be thus briefly related :—Among the offi•
cers employed to trace the suspected murderers was
Sergeant Shaw, of the detective force. From in-
quiries made in the neighbourhood of Manning's
residence, this officer ascertained beyond a doubt
that Maria Manning left Minver-place on the after-
noon of Monday, the 13th instant, in a cab, taking
with her three or four large boxes. To find out the
driver of this vehicle was the next difficulty, and all
the officer's efforts to accomplish this failed until
Monday evening, when, in consequence of infor-
mation he obtained, Shaw sought out and disco-
vered a man named Kirk, driver of the Hackney cab,
No. 1,186. This man, on being questioned, admitted
that he had been called from the stand in Joiner-
street, Southwark, to take up a fare in the neigh•
bourhood of New Weston-street. He was unable to
describe the exact spot, nor could he state any parti-
culars as to his fare, except that it was a female of
very respectable exterior. On being taken to Min-
ver-place by the officer, Kirk at once recognised the
house No. 3, as the place where he took up his fare,
and he then detailed with great minuteness the route
she was driven by himself. He said that when she
left Minver-place she had with her three large boxes
and a carpet bag. She first directed him to drive to
the London-bridge station of the South-Eastern
Railway, but, just as he was turning into the road
leading from the Borough to the terminus, she pulled
the oheck-string and bade him draw up his cab at the
door of Mr. Ash, stationer and printer, of N 0.5, Wel-
lington-street, Borough. Having done so, the woman
alighted and went into the shop, where, it
bas been ascertained, she puachased half a
dozen plain white cards. A pen and ink
having been handed to her at her request, she wrote
directions on four of the cards. Upon one she wrote
as follows :—" Mrs. Smith, passenger to Paris. To
be left till called for." Upon another. " Mrs. Smith,
passenger, to be left till called for ;" and upon the
two other cards it is believed that only the words,
" Mrs. Smith, passenger," were written. Having
paid Mr. Ash for the cards, the woman re-entered the
cab and desired Kirk to drive her to the South-
Eastern station. Arrived here, she desired him to
call a porter belonging to the railway, and upon one
presenting himself, she requested him to obtain some
tacks in order to fasten the direction cards upon her
boxes. The porter presently did so, and on his return
she alighted from the cab, and pointing out the two
largest boxes desired the man to append the two
directions first quoted, namely, " Mrs. Smith, pas-
senger to Paris, to be left till call for ;" and " Mrs.
Smith, passenger, to be left till called for." This was
done as directed, and the two boxes, by the woman's
desire, were conveyed into the luggage-office, with
directions that they were to be taken care of until
called for. The woman then re-entered the cab, and
was driven by Kirk to the London and North-
Western Railway station, where she alighted about a
quarter to six o'clock. Kirk saw her luggage, con-
sisting of one box and a carpet-bag, taken into the
station, and having been paid his fare drove away, and
saw no more of the woman.
These circumstances having been communicated to
Mr. Haynes, the superintendent of the detective
police, that officer at an early hour yesterday morn-
ing proceeded to the terminus of the South-Eastern
Railway, where he fortunately found the boxes
exactly as described, no inquiry having been made
for them since they were deposited on Monday week.
The suspicions previously entertained by Mr. Haynes
now ripened into certainties, and he at once sought
an interview with G. S. Herbert, the secretary to the
company, to whom he explained the whole matter,
and expressed the necessity of examining the con-
tents of the boxes. Mr. Herbert conferred with two
or three of the directors, who happened to be at the
station, and the Commissioners of Police having
backed Mr. Haynes's application by a request from
themselves to the same effect, the boxes were con-
veyed into the secretary's office, and there forced
open. The first glance at each disclosed a quan-
tity of female wearing apparel, which upon exami-
nation, proved to be marked with the name of
Maria Rue, the maiden name of Mrs. Manning. A

and several letters writen by him to the supposed
murderess. Mr. Haynes now immediately proceeded
to the London and North-Western station, with the
view of tracing Maria Manning. His inquiries here
were fortunately most successful—in brief, we may
state, that he ascertained a female passenger, whose
luggage was marked with the name of Smith, had left
the Euston station on the morning of Tuesday, the
14th instant, by the 6.15 A.m. train, having booked
her place through to Edinburgh. There could be no
longer any doubt as to the direction the suspected
party had taken, and Mr. Haynes, at ten minutes to
one o'clock, telegraphed through to Edinburgh direct,
addressing the superintendent of the city police, and
informing him of the circumstances above detailed,
with a full description of the suspected party. Mr.
Haynes had scarcely arrived at Scotland-yard, on his
return, when a messenger from the telegraph office
reached there, bearing intelligence that Maria Manning
had been arrested upon the information for warded by
Mr. Haynes, by Mr. Moxey, the chief officer of the
Edinburgh constabulary. The activity displayedby this
officer may be judged of from the fact that scarcely
an hour elapsed between the message having been
sent, and the reply communicating the gratifying in-
telligence of the woman's arrest. At a later hour
last evening another telegraphic message was received
from Edinburgh, communicating the result of a
search made of the prisoner's person and luggage, from
which it appears that the following property was
found upon her :—Seventy-three sovereigns, one 501.
note, and six 101. notes, five of these latter bearing
the numbers advertised yesterday as having been paid
to Manning on Saturday, the 11th instant, on the
presentation of one of the deceased's cheques. In
addition to this money, there was also found in the
woman's possession all the missing scrip of the
Sambre and Meuse, and Boulogne and Amiens Rail-
ways, known to have been in the possession of
the deceased, and some articles of wearing apparel
belonging to him. In obedience to instruc-
tions sent down by telegraph, Mr. Moxey has
left Edinburgh in company with his prisoner,
and may be expected to arrive in town this
morning. The accused will, upon her arrival, be
placed in custody at the Gardner's-lane Police-sta-
tion, and brought up to the chief police-office for
examination probably to-morrow morning. The
boxes belonging to her have been brought from the
South-Eastern Railway station to Scotland-yard,
where their contents underwent a second examination
last night. A great deal of excitement prevailed in
the neighbourhood of Scotland-yard last evening, in
consequence of a report that the accused had arrived
in London, and a crowd of persons surrounded the
station up to a late hour.
Manning is still at large, and we fear we must add
that no °lila fn ilia retreat bag Leon klia,,,,crod. 'Thorp
can be no doubt, however, that he has very little
money in his possession ; and this circumstance, it is
hoped, will have the effect of destroying all chance of
his escape.
LATEST PARTICULARS.
~.m.--The police have just

received the following telegraphic message :-.." Is
Manning in custody—send back an immediate an-
swer." It is inferred from this that the Edinburgh
police have some clue to a person answering his
description.
(Er ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
EDINBURGH, TUESDAY.—A person, who there is
every reason to believe is one of the parties concerned
in the atrocious murder at Bermondsey, was appre-
hended in Edinburgh, on Tuesday, by Mr. Moxey,
superintendent of police. On Monday evening Mr.
Moxey received a communication per electric tele-
graph from Inspector Haynes, Strand, London, and
in the course of his inquiries consequent thereon he
got such information as induced him to call, along
with a criminal officer, at a respectable lodging-house
in Addington-place, Edinburgh, on Tuesday fore-
noon. Upon inquiry there for Mrs. Smith, the name
which it was understood Mrs. Manning had assumed,
he was shown into a room, in which he found a well-
dressed woman reading a newspaper of the 20th inst.,
which gives an account of the murder and a descrip-
tion of the parties supposed to have committed it.
From the appearance of this person, Mr. Moxey at
once concluded that be had found the party
of whom he was in search—the supposed murderess,
Mary de Reux, or Manning. After some conversa-
tion, Mr. Moxey charged her as being the person of
that name accused of the murder of Patrick O'Connor.
This she denied; but Mr. Moxey having taken pos-
session of and searched her luggage, had his previous
belief of her identity fully confirmed by finding
amongst her wearing apparel the whole of the scrip
described in the advertisement regarding the murder.
Besides other scrip, ha also found in bar possmion

documents proving beyond a doubt that she was the
wife of Frederick George Manning, together with 7.5
sovereigns, and the following Bank of England
notes :—One 501. note, No. 11,037 ; and six 101.
notes, Nos. 67,372, 67,373, 67,374, 67,375, 67,376
and 78,378 ; and one 51. note, No. 20,051.
The prisoner was at once taken to the police•ofice
along with all her luggage, and will on 'Wednesday
be committed to prison, preparatory to her being re-
moved to London. No information of her husband
has been obtained.

plaintiff clapped one of them (Emmott) on the back,
and told him to take the chair, and that at the trial
at Lancaster, Mr. Baron Rolfe, on being consulted
by Mr. Baron Alderson, said that under the circum-
stances, parole evidence of the policy ought to be
admitted, and that Mr. Stansfield was liable to an
attachment for contempt of court for the course he
had taken.

Mr. Serjeant WILKINS, on these facts, contended,
in an able speech, that each part of the libel was
justified.

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PArrasom)
William Jube: Davies was indicted for having
feloniously concealed and embezzled a part of his
estate with intent to defraud his creditors and in
violation of the bankrupt laws.
Mr. Mond and Mr. Pollock conducted the prose-
cution ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. fobbett.
It appeared that the prisoner was formerly a
plumber and glazier at Manchester, and had peti-
titioned the Court of Bankruptcy in Manchester, and
had been adjudged .a bankrupt. He had afterwards
concealed and embersled some of his goods. The
indictment charging the offence did not allege that
the prisoner had passed his examination, nor that he
had aver been examined before the commissioner.
For those omissions the Learned Counsel for the
defence demurred to the indictments, relying on the
case of " Rex v. Walters," as, until the bankrupt had
been examined before the Commissioner, and had had
the opportunity of discovering his property, he could
not be indicted for fraudulently concealing it. The

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
G UILDHAL L.
William Isaac Fitch, a traveller in the service of
Messrs. Morgan, Martyre, and Co., wholesale sta-
tioners, was placed at the bar charged before Sir Peter
Laurie with embezzling various sums of money to the
amount of 2001. and upwards.
Mr. France, of Godliman-street, solicitor, attended
to prosecute, and stated that he only intended to ad-
duce such evidence against the prisoner as would justify
the Alderman in granting a remand. They had found
out defalcations to the amount of 2001., and there was
little doubt that if time were given others to a still
greater extent would be found. It would seem that
the prisoner's practice was, that, having kept some
moneys back, when he got other sums of money, he
then paid up the old amounts.
Mr. Frederick George, of the firm of Morgan,
Martyre, and Co., No. 2, Farringdon-street, said the
prisoner has been eight years in the firm as a town
traveller. It was his duty, as well as that of others,
to enter daily into the cash-book all sums of money
they received.
Sir PETER LAURIE—Then no running account was
allowed. For in all cases of embezzlement the pri-
soners attempt to make that their defence.
Mr. George said such was not the case. They
were bound to enter the amounts received in the
cash-book every day. On Saturday last, in conse-
quence of a letter written to a Mr. Trimming, re-
specting his account, and requesting payment, as the
arrears had been going on longer than usual, that
gentleman called, and produced the receipts which
he held in his hand. The first invoice for goods was
dated Oct. 13, 1848, and ended Dec. 12, 1848. On
the 17th of February, 1849, there is a receipt in the
prisoner's, handwriting for 201., signed W. Fitch.
On the same paper, dated the sth of March, there is
another receipt of " By cash 111. 12s. 61., discount
165.; for Morgan, Martyre, and Co.; signed W.
Fitch." The next invoice began Dec. the 26th, and
ended 27th of February, 1849, and amounted, for
goods delivered, to 301. 3i. Upon that invoice there
was a receipt also, in the following terms :—" By
cash, for Morgan, Martyre, and Co., 301. 3s. W.
Fitch."

Sir P. LAURIE—Did he pay the money on those
days ? Mr. George—He did; but what he paid was
to settle other quarters' accounts that ought to have

- ar. tutst.c rain, uin vie case was aujourlieu
there would be plenty of cases against the prisoner,
for the firm had ascertained that morning that he had
received no less a sum than 104/. on the 4th of Au-
gust, which he had not accounted for. He therefore
hoped the Alderman would grant a remand.
Sir P. LAURIE said the embezzlements appearel to
be so extensive, that he should remand the prisoner
for a week; in the meantime perhaps the prosecutors
might make more important discoveries.
The prisoner, who wept much while at the bar,
declined saying anything, and was conveyed to the
Compter.
