Under the Management of a Board of Directors,

This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur—
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wealthy, viz.:—

Ist. Insurh.g their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 100/., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.

The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could se readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.

WALTER RE R6D9O, EC.O'iII'ANILIIRLI, (North side)

THE CZAR. Three Vols.
Smallwood, London, 1840.
As may be surmised from its title, the scene of
this tale is laid chiefly in Russia; and the events
which it records, are supposed to have occurred
during the reign of Ivan the Terrible—a monarch
who was contemporary with our own Queen Eliza-
beth. So far as incident is concerned, the tale
does not flag for an instant ; it abounds indeed
in strange vicissitudes, which follow each other in
rapid, if not very orderly, succession. Then, as re-
spects character, we have intriguing Russian dames
of quality, to whom murder is a mere pastime ; ruf-
fian soldiers equally unscrupulous ; a Dutch phy-
sician, in the employ of the Czar, who com-
pounds and administers poisons as scientifically as
did Locusta of old ; a young Czarevitch, as
hopeful a specimen of royalty, in the way of scoun-
drelism, as it is possible to imagine ; and lastly, an
English physician, his daughter, and an English
Ambassador, endowed—by way of redeeming the
story, and softening off' its sterner features—with
the noblest qualities of head and heart. Strictly
speaking, the Czar has no plot, but is neither more
nor less than a record of the atrocities practised on
his subjects by Ivan the Terrible—a monster who
surpassed in crime even that scourge of humanity,
Nero. The author has given us a vivid idea of the
character of this Muscovite vagabond ; and tracked
him step by step as he descends into the abyss of
guilt,
with a skill and minuteness that prove him to
be well acquainted with the leading springs of
action, and that subtle and perplexing mystery, the
human heart. The main recommendation of

the story, however, is the thorough know-
ledge, which the author shows in every page,
of the times of which he treats. Not only
is he versed in the history of that period, but
he is familiar also with its social and domestic pe-
culiarities. His local descriptions, too, especially
of Moscow and its environs, wear the aspect of
literal fidelity. From one or two hints thrown out
casually in the course of his narrative, we gather
that he has resided many years in Russia ; has

,ravelled through a considerable portion of that ex

tensive empire, mixing unreservedly with all classes;
and has had the additional advantage of holding a
high and confidential appointment under one of the
most illustrious of the Russian noblesse. As a
sample of the author's lighter and more familiar
manner, we subjoin an extract illustrative of the
character of a Muscovite lady of rank, who has
the power of life and death over the Serfs on her
estates :

Ere the Boyariuia, however, had dismissed the steward,
after the remaining boors had been salutarily admonished,
she entered with him into a discussion of the interests of
her estate, which proved that in no way did she belie the
opinion her husband had entertained of her capabilities of
managing it.
" And as for the girls of the estate, I would have thee
bring me report of the marriageable ones. How many
suppose ye there may be ?"
" Twenty, or more," replied the steward.
" Select the prettiest of them for my inspection, that
r they may be disposed of to more advantage in the city.
And, harkye, Youry," said the Boyarinia, addressing a
man-servant in waiting, who, at the words, bent his fore-
head to the ground, "thou hast no wife, yet art thou of
an age to seek one, though thy sleek chin belies thy man-
hood; yet can I not afford to entertain idlers. Thou
must to the estate, and pay the wenches some attention.
Dost thou understand ? The stock is somewhat barren,
and we would have it multiply."
Whether the proposition met with the approbation of
Youry we are at a loss to say, for the orders of the Boya-
rinia
rarely offered a chance of evasion, and the serving-
man again resumed his station at the entrance of the
apartment.

" And, mark you, forbid the clowns to cut their hair,"
continued the mistress now to her steward : " I have a
market for it. A Jew from Novogorod will offer a price
for all that measures an archine in length. By-the-bye,
when they deserve a little castigation, thou mayest remit
it in our merciful consideration ; but shave off one side of
the heads in lieu thereof, the remainder will grow on ac-
count for the next settlement."

The steward bowed in submission, full of admiration at
the " political economy," as he styled it, of the Boyarinia.
" And thou mayest crop the married women. What
do the hussies want with hair; do we net let them live ?"
" Thou art too indulgent, most merciful mistress," said
the steward, as he bowed.
" Now do I bethink me, the Dutch physician to his
Majesty has besought me to procure for him some front
teeth, at any cost, so they be white and sound. Now,
pray thee, make choice of some dozen. Tel) them 'tis for
their mistress, and they will not object to their extraction.
I will positively ensure to them the possession of the dou.
ble ones : surely they have not work for more."

The Dublin Evening Post complains that the
Press do not notice sufficiently the marvellous success of Fa-
ther Matthew, the Apostle of Temperance, who, according to
our Contemporary, has gone forth, "conquering and to Con-
quer." Wherever he appears, the evil genius of the place flies
away, like a perturbed spirit. Drunkenness ceases. The low
public-houses are shut up. Their keepers are everywhere
i
vetrvw industry
be-
taking themselves to other species of industry, and
of the people, who have been so fortunate as to take the pledge
has been prosperous. That the cause of Temperance is every-
where advancing with the progrsss of knowledge, there can beno doubt whatever: and Father Matthew, according to account,
has worked miracles in Ireland. Whisky is now seldom heard
of, and never drunk there by his disciples.
A HIGHLAND GATHERING.--The Rev. Mr.
Clark of this place has announced that he is getting up a
Bake
Highland gathering," or a non-intrusion demonstration,
t take place in Inverness, at which about forty of the Esta-
blished Clergy are engaged to attend.—Glasgow Chronicle.
INFAMOUS PUBLICATIONS.—Wednesday in
the Court of Queen's Bench, a verdict of 301. in damages
given to Mr. Pace, who had been grossly libelled in an infa-
mous unstamped paper.
