I'he Deed of Settlement of this Company harinz been approved by
the Registrar, and the number of Shares prescribed by the Act having
beet subscribed for, the Directors trill proceed upon the Ist of Slay
next, ensuing, to issue Sea Policies under their Common Seal.
For the effectual protection of both shareholders and the assured,
the constitution of this Corn: any is based on the principle of limit-
ing the amount entertained hi and upo I individual vessels, or their
cargoes, in rateable proportion to the capital subscribed, and remain-
ing clear in hand according to a graduated scale, constructed with the
greatest care, thereby securing a wide and equalised distribution of
outstau.iing risks, to the enti e exclusion of gambling profits, and
ruinous losses, from both sides of the account.
Under special clauses inserted in the Deed, no single Insurance
for the space of twelve mo, ths, from the date of Issuing the fir,t

Policy, will exceed 5001. For the space of three years from the same
date the limit has been fixed at 1,000/. ; and for the space of seven
years at 1,5001., a metho fof proceeding obviously calculated to
unsure a steady and remunerative basincss, and avoid the disastrous
results incidental to an opposite system.
A list of the Board of Viree ors, of the officers of the Company,
and of the Agents appointed for the outports, will be given in the

will be found " a: home" every Monday evening during
the season. The full attendance with which he was ho-
noured on Monday, and the hearty reception with which
he was greeted as soon as he made his appearance, were
proofs to him that he had not been forgot during his
wanderit:gs in other lands. We never heard him in
finer voice than he displayed last night. He seems in
high health and spirits. The programme contained
teeny beautiful songs, some of which he sang for the
first time in London. '' The Stuarts of Appin" is one
of the noblest songs we ever heard, the music being
equally eff ctive with the poetry. The burst from the
minnr into the major in the second strain had a thrilling
effect. This song cannot tail to prove a great attraction
4it,elf. Another, which be &ang for the first time, was
Burn's splendid lyric of " Go, ff,tch to me a pict of
wine." He sang it tea beautiful melody, which suited
the song admirably ; and it was honoured with a hearty
and unanimous encore. He sang very finely the old
song, " An thee vvert my alit thing," nhich, old though
it be, is one of the most elegant melodies that could be
listened to. In his hutnnuroui songs he was as rich te.
ever, and ceased much exertion of the risible faculties of
his audience. We were glad t, see, by his next Mon-
thy's procramme, that it is " An. Hour wi' Burns," in '
which), besides singing many of the ploutiliman Bard's

CROSBY HALL.
Butler, the widow of th 9 celebrated tragedian and
lee user, Samuel Butler, gave her .econd draceatie reading
on Wilda) night at Crosby Hall. The attendance in
the occa,ien was, we were gratified to observe, very nu-
merous. and the exertions of the clever elocutionist met
with a degree of applause proportionate to their gre at
merit. Her recitations, evidently the result of intense
study and passionate attachment to the inspit iting works
la our most gifted authors, were characterised by a
ehasten..ss of cone Tejon, exquisirely refined judgment,
and beautiful deity( ry, which afforde I inconte-tible evi-
&nee that Mrs. Butler is possessed of decided genius.
Her powers of description and personation are of no or-
dinary stamp, and there is in her intonation an bar-
monious sequence of melody peculiarly benefiting her
for enlisting the sympathies and admiration of her
patrons. The programme so judiciously sel cted for Mon-
( ay night's entertainment, comprised some of the finest
passages from Shakspere, Hood, Arnold, and Ather-
itime. Mrs. Butler, too, appeared in the double capacity
of atrhores., and elocutionist, introducing an eft ant
ing, romantic sketch, entitled " The Daughter of Erie,"
er own composition. Throughout America and the
Continent of Europe, where Mrs. Butler frequently and
with creditable success, delineated the conceptions of the
master-minds of our admired dramatists and poets, this
oaenat(ap-di.ef; yeie
faction of knowing that her literary efforts were fully
recognised by a British audience. " Hamlet's Soliloquy
on Death;" " The Last Days of Herculaneum," " Hot-
spur's Description of a Fop," and " Parrhasius," where
the Athenian painter is represented torturing the
Olynthian captive, in order the better to understand the
pains and passions of his Prometheus, which he was then
about to paint, were correctly given. Indeed, we have
seldom enjoyed a richer treat than Mrs. Butler's
illus-
trations of elocutionary expression; and we trust that
she will often afford us similar opportunities of bearing
tribute to her unassuming merits.

THE SEPA— ItAT-T---E SYSTEM.
At the Dorset Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday, the
Marquis of Westminster again introduced to the
Court his opinions uon the subject of prison dis-
cipline and separate confinement. The topic had
occupied the attention of the Court upon three former
occasions, and has as many times been noticed in our
columns. On this occasion the Noble Marquis ob-
served, that the subject still weighed upon his mind,
and the more strongly, because he felt, when com-
mitting a prisoner to the gaol of Dorchester he was
committing an irreparable injury. He had a perfect
recollection of one case of this kind, where the man
left the gaol much worse than when he was sent
there, and his re• commitment became necessary.
The question was whether or no the separate system
was the only means that had been found effectual in
reforming offenders, and he submitted that it was.
In proof of this, the Noble Marquis adduced the re-
port of the chaplain of the Preston House of Correc.
tion, the opinion of the Governor of the Glasgow
douse of Correction, the experience of the Model
Prison at Pentonvire, attested, as it was, by
Lord Chichester, the Speaker of the house of
Commoes, Sir B. Bnalie, Maj,,r Jebb, and
~tner§; the sentiments expressed at a meeting at
Frankfort last year of benevolent and distingoished
men from En;.;latid, Gerin2ny, Swit-
France, l‘ussia,
z-rland, Iraly, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Holland,
America, and other tuitions ; and at which meeting
a unanimous resolution in favour of separate and
solitary confinement was agreed to ; the reports of
the inspectors of the Western Penitentiary, at Penn
Sylvania, the testimony of Judge Parsons when
charging a grand jury in Philadelphia, and the
~pinions of Lord John John Russell in 1837, and of
Sir G. Grey during his present term of otfiee;—all
which were expressive of the good effect, under pro-
per management, of the system for which he con•
tended. This system had already been carried out in
twenty-eight prisons, with three of which he was
connected, Find he wished to add Dorset to the num-
ber. He knew that in rural districts there was a
great objection to laying out money, but he wished
them to look at this question more as tradesmen than
farmers, calculating upon the ultimate return rather
than upon the present advantage. He concluded a
long address by leaving the subject in the hands
of the Court, expressing himself, however, un-
willing to relinquish a question which he considered
of vast consequence to the moral state not only of
thot county, but of the nation at large.
Mr. G. BANKS.% M.P., the chairman, after thank-
ing the Noble Lord for the able and comprehensive
manner in which he had stated his case, observed that
it was very true that the court was cautions in laying
out large sums of money; the magistrates felt that
the money which they expended Was not their own,
but was contributed by parties who were less able to
contribute it than they themselves were. It was
evident the Government had some comprehensive
scheme in contemplation, and, although he would not
then venture to pass any decidedly strong opinion
upon it, still he must say
that he concurred in the
observations of Lord Denman, that the proposition for
abolishing transportation was an " appalling" one.
At present it would be most imprudent to lay out
their money in altering our gaols, still he hoped the
Noble Marquis would not relinquish the subject, but
bring it forward, if necessary, upon some future and
more convenient occasion.
After a few remarks from Mr. PLOYER, lu.p., the
on all former
subject dropped, as occasions, without
any definite result.

After the advertisement calling the meeting had been

stated that the whole of the hi▪ lls which were that day to

rectors were unanimous
as
to the iirp.irtance of each of the s:•parate schemes. The
object of the meeting was, therefor,, merely to legalise

VICTORIA THEATRE.
A liow pit'l!,., tilltlikd 'fetch Lois of Texas ; or the

•oivlatited Captain Him k (Mr. W, ;•S earl.), leader of a
band of " Regulivors," or sot disant prairie senate or
ex''Pwire, and who also distinguishes himself as a
marksman, by
which he incurs the enmity of Captain
Mick, and upon an unfounded accusation of horse steal-
ing is subjected, and by the aforesaid worthy, to the in-
fliction of the lAsh. The itclig-pity which he has
ysus-
tained operates 'co powerfully upon the mind of Jack
L ,ng (who is a young bunter from the rocky mountains,
and who is represented as
possessing all those feelings
which are engendered b a residence amid Alpine
scenery), that he becomes insane, and all his mental fa-
eu!titni become concentrated into a desire of destroying
the gang by whom he has suffered the ignominious pu-
nishment. This he effects, his reason is restored,
:,nd he is re united to his bride.- These are
the mater!als of the piece, which is ski).
fully worke I up. The
language is natural,
the imag3ry such as the wild scenes of the forest (the
locale of the piece) would suggest, and.deYoid of that '
extravagance, that bizarre hue N.Nhch too frequet tly
characterises the productions of melodramatic writers
for the British stage. Mr. N. T. Hicks- represented
faithfully the character he personated, and Miss Vincent
as the heroine of the piece (Mary Gibbs) gave a per-
fect impersonation of the female character under the
influence of that passion which is woman's destiny—love.
The minor characters were wall sustained, and the per-
formance elicited hearty applause. The piece was an-
nounced for repetition every evening till further notice,
and the announcement was received with stentorian
plaudits.
