LONDON, MONDAY EVENING,

also discovered that his drawers had been ransacked,
and some wearing apparel, silver spoons, and other
property carried away, and that the prisoner had ab-
sconded. On Wednesday night last Mr. Baker left
the shop for a few minutes, and during his absence
somebody had entered and carried away some silver
spoons, silver money, and other property, and having
no doubt the robbery had been committed by some
person acquainted with his habits and the premises,
he, in giving information of the robbery, mentioned
the name of the prisoner as the person he suspected.
On Friday night the prisoner was apprehended near
the Marsh-gate, and when taken before the prosecutor
he acknowledged having committed the last robbery,
and being a party to the first. He subsequently con-
fessed to Mr. Baker that the person who assisted him
in the commission of the first robbery had armed him-
self with the kitchen poker, with the intention of
dispatching him, and had the formidable weapon
actually raised up, and was about to strike him (Mr.
Baker) on the head, while he lay asleep, when he (the
prisoner) caught and arrested his arm.
The prisoner did not deny this when before the
magistrate; and Mr. Norton, having congratulated
Mr. Baker upon his narrow and fortunate escape, re-
manded the prisoner to a future day.

HANOVER.

The States of Hanover were opened on the Bth
instant. M. BENNIGSEN, the President of the Coun-
cil, addressed them, congratulating the country on
having been preserved from the anarchy which had
prevailed in so many other kingdoms, and promising
to lay before the States the negotiations relative to the
general constitution, which: had been a subject of
anxious consideration, but had not yet been finally

GREECE

A letter from Athens of the42Bth ult. states that
there were upwards of 1,500 Italian refugees in
different parts of Greece and the islands. They
proposed to demand.a grant of land from the Chambers
to establish a colony. The same letter states that the
Princess BELGIOIOSO, who is in that city with her
daughter, was at Athens without pecuniary resources.
She had intended, the letter says, to go to Constan-
tinople to open a school as a means of livelihood ; but
the Duchess of PLAISANCE, who is established at
Athens, had persuaded her to postpone the design.

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, Nov. B.—A Cabinet Council was
held yesterday, at which Prince FREDERICK pre-
sided. The PRINCE will start this evening for
Berlin.
The Ministers are now engaged in examining
the various projects of the financial law for the
Budget of 1850, which was presented in September
last. _ _ •

It is not yet known whether the Government will
introduce any modification or not ; it is generally
supposed that they will be withdrawn, and that laws
of credit will be submitted for the regular course of
the administrative service.—Dutch Papers.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Faderlandet asserts that the Danish Govern-
ment demands that the Cabinet of Prussia shall
immediately dissolve the States of Schleswig-Hol-
stein, which are in direct opposition with the admi-
nistrative authority of Schleswig, in violation of the
armistice. This dissolution ought to be enforced,
even by the Prussian troops if necessary; the Prus-
sian Government is morally and legally responsible
for all that takes place in Holstein.
The Hamburgh Borsenhalle of the 7th says—
" In reply to the interrogatory of the Prussian Go-
vernment, the Danish Government has sent in a declara-
tion in writing, that it will not make any attempt what-
ever to re capture the Gefion. In consequence of this
declaration the frigate will remain in the harbour of
Eckenforde. The intelligence that the German fleet is
to winter in the German harbours of the Baltic is fully
confirmed. We learn that the harbour of Geste is con-
sidered sufficiently commodious to accommodate the
greater part of the German navy. The principal Hano•
verian surveyor has been sent by his Government to
make the necessary arrangements for the works which
will be required."
A letter from Kiel, of the sth, says—

" Yesterday deputations arrived here from 75 com-
munes of Schleswig Holstein, in order to submit the
sentiments of the country to the National Assembly and
to the Stadtholderschaft. They dtcided unanimously
upon an address to the National Assembly, the main
points of which are also to be submitted to the Stadt-
holderschaft.
" The Schleswig-Holstein Government at Kiel has
announced, by placards, that the department for the
Interior has received the sanction of the Stadtholders-
chaft for the commencement of a branch line of the
Altona-Kiel Railway, to run from Atona to Lubeck."

PERSIA.
Accounts have been received by letters from Tabriz
of the 13th September that Teheran was in full in-
surrection; that the people, led on by an influential
and fanatical Mollah, had even attacked the royal
palace.

ment was made of the betrothment of the Hereditary

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
.he Company being prohibited, by the 64th 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 he 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 relinquisked 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.
PARTNER -IMP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint 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 retails-
lug 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.
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 montks 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.

AcrtiAra—James John Dowries, Esq., F.R.A.S

The following are among the advantages offered by this Society :
ECONOMY combined with Security.
The RATES of Premium are lower than those of any other office,
which entitle the assured to participate in the profits, and considerably
lower than those of any other Mutual Assurance Society.
The WHOLE of the PROFITS are divided every fifth year among
the Assured, and a Bonus is added, after the payment of the Fifth
Annual Premium to every Policy effected on the participating Scale,
if a claim accrue thereon prior to the next division of profits.
The BONUSES declared at the three former divieons (arising
from three-fourths only of the profits), averaged 16, 31, and 36 per
cent. respectively on the amount of Premiums paid.
The BONUS declared in 1449 (arising from the wkole of Hie pro-
fits), being the result of the operations of the Society during the last
five 3 ears upon the Mutual Principle, averaged 62 per cent. on the
Premiums received.

All Assurances effected during the year 1849, en the equal rates of
Premium, will be entitled to participate in the profits to be declared
in 1854. - . . .

FRANCE.

The Moniteur announces that Captain Graeb, who
was placed on the retired list in July, 1848, 6 when
he exercised in the most honourable manner the
functions of the Governor of the Island of Reunion
(Bourbon),' .had been recalled to active service by a
decree of the President of the Republic, and at the
unanimous recommendation of the Board of Ad-
miralty.
The Minister of Marine and the colonies had re-
ceived dispatches from the commander of the naval
division of Reunion and Madagascar, dated Zan.
aibar, 25th of September last. No occurrence of
any importance had taken place at Nossibe since the
arrival there of the frigate La Reine Blanche. Captain
Febvier Despointes states that the insurrection of the
Sakalaves, which might have been attended with
most fatal consequences, was entirely terminated.
Those,' he says, I thought proper to pardon. have
subscribed to terms advantageous for the colonisation
of the island. The turbulent and dangerous chiefs
have been dismissed. The principal have retired into
the Ambongou, and there is every probability that
trar quillity will not again be disturbed.'
A letter addressed to the Minister of Marine, on
the 14th of August, by the Commissioner General of
the Republic in the Island of Reunion, contradicts
the report of the death of the Queen of the Ovas, oir-
culated by a journal of the Mauritius.
The Moniteur contains the following :—" The
President of the Republic admitted to a private
audience, on Thursday last, the Minister of the United
States, with whom relations had been interrupted in
consequence of the difference that had arisen between
M. Poussin and the Minister for Foreign Affairs of
the Washington Cabinet. The President of the
Republic declared to the American Minister that, not-
withstanding the wrongs which, it was but just to say,
were mutual on both sides, he was willing to make
advances in order to restore friendly harmony between
the two great nations ; that a susceptibility, perhaps
natural towards a Monarchy, did not appear to him
seriously justified towards an elder Republic. He
added that however jealous be should be of the
honour of France, he entertained too high an opinion
of the intelligence and character of General Taylor
to hesitate an instant to acknowledge the pain it
would give him to see sentiments of friendship so
intimate and so ancient impaired on account of a mis-
understanding of no importance. The Ambassador
of the United States received that frank and straight-
for ward declaration with the utmost cordiality."
The illoniteur publishes the report of the three
arbitrators appointed to inquire into the extent of the
losses sustained by the two printers of the anarchical
journals, Messrs. Proux and Boule, whose establish-
ments were forcibly entered by the National Guards
and troops on the 13th of June last. The prejudice
occasioned the proprietors of the Democratie Paci-
fique is estimated at 4,812 f. 50c. ; the damage suffered
by M. Proux, printer of the Vraie Republique, at
40,444 f. 64c. ; and by M. Bouli, printer of the
Peuple, at 78,0651. 67e. ; in all 123,322 f. 111 c.

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, 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, twe-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.

The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied +(lvan-
tages which the judicious application of a small awing can secure
through this Society.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The Deutsche Zeitung states that General Hassfort
had given orders to erect a monument in honour of
the Hungarian war, on the Chapel hill, near Kron-
stait. This monument, which was erected "to
inform posterity of the successful union between
Russia and Austria, and of the glorious victories of
the Russian troops," bears the inscription "Russia et
Austria unite, 1849."
The same paper has letters from Schemnitz, stating
that one of the officers of the garrison of Komorn has
lately been executed in the city of Schemnitz, in
direct violation of the terms of General Klapka's
capitulation.
The military commander of Pesth and Buda has
published t proclamation, enjoining the shopkeepers
of the two cities to remove any tricoloured ornament
that may be found in and around their shops, and to
alter the Hungarian legend on their sign-boards so as
to give it a German translation. Those who refuse
obeying this order are to be fined in the first instance.
Th., same proclamation all but forbids the use of the
Hungarian language, because " it is spoken by the
disaffected and rebellious."
London, England, 1849-11-12

PRUSSIA.

The King of PRUSSIA. left Berlin on the Bth fur
Breslau, to have an interview with the Emperor of
AUSTRIA, who accompanies the Queen of PRUSSIA.
The convention between Prussia and the Grand
Duchy of Baden relative to the re-organization of the
Baden army is concluded. In consequence Prussia
will augment her troops to the amount of the con-
tingent of Baden. The expense of the increase will
be borne by the duchy.
London, England, 1849-11-12

JESTY.

On Monday last the female convict drew up a
memorial to the Queen, imploring her Majesty to
save her from the scaffold, and reiterated her inno-
cence of O'Connor's death. This memorial she en-
closed in a letter addressed to the Duchess of Suther-
land, in which her Grace was asked to lay it beore
the Queen. The letter was duly posted, it appears,
but being unpaid it was rejected on presentation at
Stafford House, and yesterday morning it was opened
in due course in the Dead Letter-office in St. Martin's-
le-Grand. The wretched woman, impatient of a
reply, had written on Friday to Sir George Grey,
requesting his intercession.

proposition, directed against M. Fould, Minister of
Finance :—" No citizen, exercising the profession of
banker, can be appointed Minister."
M. Betting de Lancastel, Member of the Legisla-
tive Assembly, has laid on the table of the House a
proposition for the appointment of a committee of
fifteen Members, who will be charged with the pre-
paration of a Bill for the execution of the 66th Article
of the Constitution as follows :—" The number of
Ministers and their attributes shall be fixed by the
Legislative power." The proposition has been re-
ferred to the Commission of Parliamentary Initiative.
The Commission of Parliamentary Initiative met
on Thursday. M. de Larochejacquelin has been
named its president, and M. Godelle secretary. The
Commission took into consideration a proposition of
M. Desmousseaux de Givre, to the effect that hence-
forth the National Assembly shall assist at no public
ceremony, nor send a deputation there. The Corn
mission unanimously rejected the proposition, and M.
Piscatory was named reporter.
The Commission for the examination of the propo-
sition of M. Charras, relative to the nominations and
promotions in the order of the Legion of Honour,
has named M. Mole president, and M. Ay me eecre•
tsry. The proposition was negatived.
M. Etienne has made his report, in the name of the
committee appointed to examine the proposition of M.
D'Arblay, having for object the formation of a
statement, under the direction of the Minister of Fi-
nance, of all the sums voted on account of the bud •
get of the present year. The committee has agreed
to the proposition, and given it, with some slight mo-
dification of detail, a permanent character.
M. D'Havincourt has presented his report on the
proposition relative to a tax on dogs. The report,
which was favourably received by the committee,
mentions the following facts :—" Fifty-two Councils-
General have demanded a tax on dogs. It has been
approved by the Council• General of Agriculture. In
Eng!and the tax produces 4,000,000. It exists in
Belgium. In England the principal result of the tax
his been to reduce the number of cases of hydro-
phobia from twenty-four in 1838 tofive in 1842."
It has been decided that a medal is to be struck in
commemoration of the installation of the magistraturn
on Saturday last.
The Government have also ordered that a grand
historical picture shall also be painted commemorative
of the same solemnity. The part of the ceremony
selected for the pencil of the artist will be that of
the celebration of the mass of the Holy Ghost in
the Sainte. Chapeller. M. Delaroche is, it is said, the
ar.i3: to whom the execution of the picture will be
entrusted. •

JESTY.

On Monday last the female convict drew up a
memorial to the Queen, imploring her Majesty to
save her from the scaffold, and reiterated her inno-
cence of O'Connor's death. This memorial she en-
closed in a letter addressed to the Duchess of Suther-
land, in which her Grace was asked to lay it before
the Queen. The letter was duly posted, it appears,
but being unpaid it was rejected on presentation at
Stafford House, and yesterday morning it was opened
in due course in the Dead Letter-office in SL Martin's-
le- Grand. The wretched woman, impatient of a
reply, had written on Friday to Sir George Grey,
requesting his intercession.

NOW PUBLISHING,

ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL,
A WEEKLY PERIODICAL
PRICE TII It EE- lIALFPE N PERIODICAL,
CONTAINING
LITERARY MATTER of INFORMATION and AMUSEMENT.
The First Volume of ELIZA. COOK'S JOURNAL is new coin-
pleted, and the roprietor takes this opportunity of expre.sing her
sense of the honourable and coveted position which a generous Public
has placed her in.
Many difficulties beset the path of a young Journalist which a
little experience removes, and most earnest thanks are proffered for
the kind indulgence bestowed on- the errors which have occasionally
marked the Editorial and Practical Departments. The best proof of
the Editor's feeling will be found in her endeavours to render the
Journal far mere worthy of the flattering patronage it receives,
and without any fallacous beast, she can promise her Readers a
future supply of sound and valuable matter.
The most ratifying circumstance attending the extensive circula-
tion and cordial reception of the Journal has been in proving that a
large reading public can be tound for a cheap Serial who do not
require unhealthy excitement and mere ephemeral entertainment to
gain their attention. Right glad has the Editor been to see that
her plain and simple wish to elevate the morals and invigorate the
mind, has been graciously received; for, though amusement is one
of the chief essentials, not only of periodical literature, but of our
whole lives, it should ever be blended with a principle and purpose
tending to advance humanity.
From the cheering encouragement already received, the Editor
trusts fully to her friends for the future, and has equal pride and
pleaFure in presenting her First Volume as a Journalist to those
whose generous perceptions stamped her first attempt as a Poet.
ELIZA. COOK'S JOURNAL is published every Saturday, and

THE MURDER IN THE 3IILLBANK

PRISON.

It will be remembered that on Wednesday last a
most desperate and murderous attack was made, about
four o'clock in the afternoon, upon Thomas Hall, one
of the warders in the Penitentiary at !bank, by
John Francis, one of the convict prisoners, inmate
of that prison, from the effects of which the injured
man died on Thursday last. An inquest was held on
the body on Saturday, by Mr. Bedford, the coroner
for iVestminster, and from the evidence it appeared
that, at the hour above stated, Francis requested the
warder Hall to let him out of his cell for a necessary
purpose, with which request Hall immediately
complied, and waited for him to return in order to
lock him up again. As Francis was returning to his
cell, with his cell utensil in his hand, which he had
been to empty, he struck Hall with it and felled him
to the ground, and followed up his attack with a
succession of desperate blows upon his head with
the same utensil. The attack was witnessed by
some of the other prisoners from the gratings of
their cells, but as they were all locked up except
Francis, they were unable to assist the unfortunate
warder. Their cries from the windows, however,
eventually attracted the attention of some of the
officers, and brought other warders to Hall's assistance,
by whom the prisoner Francis was secured and
placed in the refractory cell for security. Hall was then
found lying on the floor in his own room in a state of
insensibility ; both eyes were completely blackened,
and the skull was smashed in, and the brains protrud-
ing. lie died the following night about twelve.
When the prisoner was taken into custody a pair of
scissors were found upon him, from which the screw
had been taken away, and the points had been
sharpened. William Crawley, a convict confined in
an adjoining cell to the prisoner, gave evidence at the
inquest, and stated that he had heard the prisoner
call for the deceased, who, upon coming to his cell,
told him he ought not to have called, as this was
contrary to the rules of the prison, but he should
have exhibited his signal. He did not say this in an
angry tone. After this Francis was let out from his
cell by the deceased for the purpose of emptying his
cell utensil in the opposite closet. He returned in
about a minute and a half with the lid of the
utensil in his right hand, and the other part in his
left. He then went up to the deceased and imme-
diately struck him on the head with the cover of the
utensil. The deceased screamed out, and endeavoured
to crawl to his own room. Witness cried repeatedly
to the prisoner to desist from his murderous attack ;
but, instead of listening to him, he followed the de-
ceased and struck him again several violent blows.
Witness had not heard the prisoner express any ill
feeling previously towards the deceased. Mr. Rendle,
the surgeon, who was called in to attend the de-
ceased, deposed to the extensive nature of the wounds
on the head, which he said were quite sufficient to
produce death. At the conclusion of the evidence the
jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against John
Francis.

which had attended the application made in his favour
to the Home Secretary. He then told his brother
that he had written another letter to his wife, soli-
citing an interview, but he feared she was as hardened
as ever and would not grant it. Referring to the
subject of the murder, he produced a pencil sketch
of the back kitchen, showing the position of
O'Connor's body when (as he alleges) he first saw
it. He took especial care to explain this sketch to his
brother, and evinced great anxiety to satisfy him
that he was not a participator in the actual murder.
After some other conversation on general matters he
requested his brother to give his love and last blessing
to his relatives, especially his sister, who visited him
on Tuesday last, after whom he inquired most par-
ticularly. He also desired his respects to his former
master, Mr. Reeves, a coach-builder of Taunton, and
requested that his best thanks should be given to that
gentleman for all his kindness to him when a boy.
His brother being about to leave, Manning requested
Mr. Rowe to offer up a prayer before they parted,
which the rev. chaplain did in a very impressive
manner, all present kneeling and joining in this act
of devotion. After the chaplain had concluded the
prayer, his brother asked if he should come and see
him again. Manning replied that he thought it would
be of no use for him to do so; in fact he would rather
that he did not. The final separation then took place,
the convict remarking to his brother that he was only
going a short time before him, and hoped he should
meet him in another and a better world.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES,

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 age, or,
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 tine, 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 cal secure
through this Society.

to lay before the States the negotiations relative to the
general constitution, which, had been a subject of
anxious consideration, but led not yet been finally
arranged.

will augment her troops to the amount of the con•

TURKEY.

On the 24th ult. the Odessa steamer arrived at
Constantinople, and a special messenger brought
dispatches to M. Moir on the state of things at St.
Petersburgh. FouaD EFFENDI had been received by
the EMPEROR with marked honours, and, in consi
deration of his distinguished guest, his MAJESTY has
not as yet made known his ultimatum. On that
night the Dragoman of the British Legation was clo•
seted for several hours with the Grand Vizier, and it
is said that affairs, which were so aggravated a few
days back, are likely to take a favourable turn, on
account of the pretensions of the Emperor of RUSSIA
having, in a certain sense, been slightly modified. On
account of the holidays of the Porte, consequent on the
great festival of Cororban Bairam, we have not much
in the shape of news, although the Ministers of the
Divan and foreign ambassadors are in constant com-
munication.
