other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the decla-
_ration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the
be C°hlPany weunce an claim for the half premiums which may
in due thereon; or. in the event of the party being at that time

above cases are all taken from the Society's books, and have
selected, some to show the extent to which the policies oh th
s of those who have been many years members of the Society
have been increased,—others to prove the advantage of Life In-
sn.l:nce as a system. Of this latter class are the following :
'o. 3 was the case of an extensive grazier and cattle-dealer, who
was lost at sea on h:s passage from the north of Scotland to
London with cattle for sale.
No. 4 was the case of a medical gentleman in extensive country
Practice, whose life had net been insured a month before he was
seized with typhus fever, in the prosecution of his professional
duties, and under which he sunk at the age of thirty-three.
ICo 5 was the case of an English farmer, whose life had been
insured for nearly eight years, and was killed by falling from
horseback.
No• 6 was the case of a gentleman whose life had only been in-
sured for seven months, when he was killed by an accident on
the railway.

"ecernber. All Policies passed before 31st December next, in the
event of their continuing in force for five years, will share in the

NAVAL 'INTELLIGENCE.
SIR CHARLES NAPIER'S SQUADRON.
PORTSMOUTH', TUESDAY.--Our last advices were to
the '2Bth of Oct., per the Terrible; we now continue
our detail• of the movements from that date to the
9th instant inclusive :
" The few cases of typhus which manifested them-
selves on board the St. Vincent, Avenger, and Cano-
pus, the Admiral had sent to the Portuguese Naval
Hospital, a step. which has caused much dissatisfaction
throughout the squadron among the officers as well as
men, for, although the hospital is not very dirty, yet
the attendance is bad; -the method of treatment worse,
and the very idea of the surgeons of the fleet not being
allowed to attend their own men has caused a general
feeling of annoyance. It is hoped the representation
of this fact in the proper quarter will cause a better
state of things. Made all sail this day (28th of Oc-
tober), per signal, and exercised reefing and furling.
The Caledonia and Queen were the smartest handled.
" Nov. I.—At 930 A.M. a signal made to shift
all topsails,' the work only of a few minutes with the
Caledonia and Queen ; the latter shifted and hoisted
mizentopsail in 8 minutes, fore and main in 12 mi-e„
nutes ; Caledonia, fore and main in 12 minutes, mizen.
in 14 minutes; St. Vincent, 28 minutes; Vengeance,
30 minutes. In this exercise the. Caledonia unfortu-
nately lost a man overboard.
" Nov. 3.—The squadron, hitherto anchored off
Belem, all untnoared, and proceeded up to Lisbon, it
is reported, in consequence of a change of Ministry
and the chance of an emeute. The Odin steam fri-
gate, Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, was supposed
to be ashore near the packet stairs, having made, the
signal in want of immediate assistance.' The Admi-
ral accordingly dispatched Sir Henry Leeke to ren-
der assistance ; the Queen was immediately under all
sail standing towards the steamer, and ultimately
anchored so close to her as to have been enabled, had
she required it, to heave her off with the stream cable ;
but it was found she had not struck, and a French
steamer towed her to the north side of the river, for
which courtesy and prompt assistance the Admiral
thanked the French captain.
Nov. 4.—At daylight the signal was made to the
Caledonia, Queen, and Canopus, to weigh as conve-
nient, these ships having been prevented from work-
ing up yesterday by the tide. They made'sail imme-
diately, and took up their respective berths in remark-
ably smart style. In former days it would have
been thought impossible for five sail of the line and
five large steam frigates to be under weigh and per-
forming such evolutions in such a river as the Tagus,
with a tide running at least 3} knots an hour; but now
it is thought nothing of; and the weighing anchor, mak-
ing and shortening sail, forming line of battle, bearing
up and running below Belem Castle, hauling to the
wind, passing each other within 50 yards, backing,
and filling, are done as every-day exercise with the
greatest facility and skill on the part of the respec-
tive commanding and other officers andmmeunn.

again to-day, in further honour of the birth of the
Prince, and in the evening all the ships illuminated
with blue lights at each yardarm, jib, and spanker
boom ends, and ten rockets were 'thrown up from
each ship and steamer, the effect of which was beau
tiful in the extreme. The Hecate steam-sloop, Com-
mander Moorman, arrived this 'day from England.

perfectly cured him, and he has not been absent a single day from
business through Gout during the last four years, entirely from the
salutary effects of the HERB DRAUGHT.

MR. BUCKINGHAM'S LECTURES AT DALKEITH--
On Monday evening last, Mr. Buckingham delivered, in
connexion with the Dalkeith Scientific Association, the
first of a course of six lectures on Palestine, in the As-
sembly-room, White Hart street. The lecture, which
occupied nearly two hours, was listened to with deep
interest, and afforded very high gratification to one of
the largest audiences ever assembled in connexion with
the Scientific Association. Nothing could exceed the
chasteness, felicity, and appropriateness of the language
employed by Mr. Buckingham, the discriminating
beauty of his pictures of scenery and manners, or the
rermilnilatodeiwnand,eebsc:yeet congenial and fervid spirit of his allusions
to the history of ancient Israel. Such is the interest

CHARING-CROSS HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday afternoon
a meeting of the governors and committee of the above
hospital was held in the board-room of the institution,
in Agar-street, West Strand, for the transaction of
general business. The report stated that there were 101
in patients at present in the establishment. During the
past quarter the number of in-patients had been 302;
out-patients, 3,564; in addition to which 371 cases of
accidents and cases of emergency had been received.
During the past year there had been an accession of
nearly 2,000 out-patients. Notwithstanding the utmost
care in the expenditure, the resources are too limited for
the full exercise of its useful operations, four wards
being at present unoccupied. Last year 1,052 in patients
were admitted, and 8,709 out-patients relieved—making
a total, since the foundation in 1818, of upwards of
131,000 persons who had participated in its benefits.
The funds are at present in a very low state, and in-
adequate to the demands of the charity.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 15.--Her Majesty's steam-frigate
Birkenhead, Commander Augustus H. Ingram, ar-
rived this morning, also from Portsmouth.
Her Majesty's steam-sloop Racer, 16, Commander
Archibald Reed, last from Portsmouth, came in yes-
terday afternoon, and after anchoring in the Sound,
saluted the flag of Port Admiral Sir John West, the
honour being duly acknowledged by the batteries at
Mount Wise.

THE GREAT TUNNEL AT LIVERPOOL.— This
gigantic effort of skill and labour, which is to run from
Edge-hill to the new north docks is likely to prove more
expensive than was at first contemplated, and at the
same time to be a great promoter of the sanitary condi-
tion of the town. From Byrom-street to Crompton-
street (a distance of about ensile), the cuttings have been
difficult and dangerous, the workmen having to cut
through clay the whole distance they have yet proceeded,
and to support the sides with the utmost care and skill,
as required by the treacherous state of the earth. In
some portions of this distance it has been found neces-
sary to raise buildings and open the earth to the level of
the intended tramroad. This has been done from Byrom-
street,
once the head of the- pool from the Mersey to
Fontenoy-street. The remaining portion of the tunnel
ahbe
to Great Howard-street has been attempted to be cut

THE EAST COAST FisHERIEs.--Heavy fish trains
reach the Bricklayers' Arms station of the South-
Eastern Railway almost every morning, at an hour
suited for delivery in Billingsgate Market. During the
last week trains of nearly 30 trucks of fish have been
thus received. We believe this great increase is partly
to be attributed to the increasedenergy of the fishermen,
consequent on the facilities and advantages they derive
from railway communication, and partly owing to the
steps taken by the French Government to prevent their
fishermen purchasing fish from the English boats.

MONEY-MARKET .and CIT Y NEWS.
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 13 per
mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. 101 d.
per ounce for standard gold,gives an exchange of 25.47 ;
and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25 70, it follows that gold is 0.90 per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is
4341 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13.91; and the exchange at Hamburgh
on London at short being 13 111, it follows' that gold
is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on, London
is 109} per cent., and the par of exchange between
England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it
follows that the exchange is 0.08 per cent. against
England ; but, the quoted exchange at New York
being fur bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be
deducted from the above difference.
In consequence of the disproval of the unfavourable
rumours from France which were yesterday after-
-noon brought to the Stock Exchange by electric
telegraph, the English funds have to-day again
resumed an upward movement. The first quota-
tion of Consols for money and account was 831 to
and they subsequently advanced to 84} ; this, how-
ever, was not fully maintained, and they left off 841
to For the opening, 18th of January, they begau
at 84k, rose to 85k, and left off 844 to 85.
During the morning the failure of a broker was
announced, the party being Mr. Arthur Arkell.
He had become a member of the house only during
the present year, and his differences amount to
10,000/.
It is understood that shipments of gold are now
taking place from this side to Hamburgh, and it is
stated that the Wilberforce and John Bull steamers
have each conveyed out some amount.
The suspension of Mr. Robert Farrand, a corn-
factor, was announced this morning, and caused
considerable surprise, his credit in the market, on
account of the supposed safe character of his business,
being extremely good. The amount of his liabilities
did riot transpire, but they are understood to be small.
Mr. Farrand is a director of the London Joint-Stock
Bank, and was at one time Member for Heddon, and
subsequently for Stafford.

It was agreed to-day, at the adjourned meeting of
creditors of Thomas, Son, and Lefevre, that it would
be desirable in order to relieve the anxieties of bill-

holders in the Lancashire district, to declare a divi-
dend as early as possible, and hence a resolution was
passed authorising the payment of 2s. 6d. in the
pound, should Mr. D. Dobree, the chairman, after
consultation with the professional adviser of the
house and Mr. Lefevre, consider such payment ad-
visable. It appeared, from what transpired, that
sufficient assets already exist, when rendered avail-
able by the friendly interposition of Mr. Jones Loyd,
to distribute this sum, but it was nevertheless sug-
gested whether it, would not he better to wait the
collection of further assets, so that the first dividend.
declared might be at least ss. in the pound. The
necessity of an immediate distribution to satisfy the
anticipations of the Manchester creditors, who were
represented as consisting of a class of individuals to
whom a dividend, though small in amount, would be
exceedingly welcome, was, however, strongly advo-
cated, and under these circumstances the resolution
mentioned was carried. It may be added that the
explanations furnished on the subject of the accounts
of the firm were regarded as perfectly satisfactory.
The creditors of Messrs. Abbott, Nottingham, and
Co., of Aldermanbury, determined at the meeting
held this afternoon to administer the estate under
bankruptcy. The statement of account presented
showed debts and liabilities to the extent of 24,2341.
3d., and assets to the extent of 13,205/. 9s. sd.
A dividend of 6s. Bd. in the pound, payable on the
29th inst., was declared to-day under the estate of «.
and J. Woodley, of the Corn Exchange, whose failure
took place on the 27th of August.
By adrices from Hamburgh of the 12th inst. money
appeari to be in less' demand, the rate of discount
being 4/ to-5 per cent. At Amsterdam also the rate
was
.5 per cent.

Theadvices by the Boston steamer mention, that
notwithstanding the unfavourable news received from
this side, no failures had occurred in the United States,
and that none are expected. The liquidation of the
affairs of Prime, Ward, and Co., however; appears to
have assumed a very unfavourable character, and it is
now believed that their estate will not yield a total
dividend of more than 10 per cent. The losses of the
firm in the eight months preceding their stoppage are
stated at 800,000 dolls. The market for breadstuffs
shows no great alteration, and the farmers have held
back their wheat so generally that there will be no
cheap flour before the spring. As regards Indian corn,
prices, on the contrary, are expected to go very low.

THE CURRENCY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—That Sir Robert Peel's currency laws cause
a monopoly in favour of the moneyed interests of this
country is an obvious fact. That the welfare of the
treat body of the people of these kingdoms is sacri-
ficed for the benefit and aggrandisement of that
limited, but more fortunate, portion of our fellow-
subjects, through the working of these laws, is also
evident. No man, it seems, must now promise to
pay the representative of goods in his warehouse, or
lands and houses in his possession, unless he have that
representative in present and immediate possession.
If he make such promise, be must do so in a fixed
quantity of this representative of property ; he must
promise a certain weight of gold, whose only value
lies in its representing goods, merchandise, and pro-
perty of every description. This certain weight,
when he is called upon to pay, may represent twice
as much goods as when he contracted such debt, con-
sequently he loses in discharging his debt, according
to present laws, an amount equal to the original debt.
He pays twice as much as he borrowed in paying
the representative of twice as much. And wherein
lies the value of gold but as an article of representa-
tion of all the necessaries of life, and which any other
article could be made to do, such as counters or State
inconvertible notes, based on the security of the whole
fixed capital of the kingdom, and which would prove
a saving to the kingdom of the interest of all the
floating gold, besides the loss by wear. England must
allow some of her gold to go abroad, and use a sub.
stitute till the demand for her manufactures
returns that gold, otherwise the valve of all
fixed capital in this country must suffer an
immense depreciation ; but a currency founded on
this fixed capital will support its own and that capi-
tal's value; for who can doubt the goodness of the
security without the gold being immediately in
hand ? The Government securities already existing
—the whole national debt—are based onithis security ;
they are not supported by a sovereign for every pro-
mise to pay a pound.
That gold and silver are likely to become more
valuable as articles of exchange, or ornament, in pro-
portion as the population of the world increases, and
as civilization extends, there is no doubt, unless pro-
portionate increase of those metals can be called into
existence. In such case a smaller quantity must re-
present the same amount of goods as a larger quantity
at present. Will it be just, then, that debts contracted
when this article was cheap and plenty, must be paid
in the same quantity of this article when it is dear
and scarce, and, being so, may represent twice the
quantity of clothing, provisions, houses, or lands, than
it did when such debts were contracted ? Such
would be not only unjust but impossible.
Should you deem the insertion of these lines in
your columns not out of place, I shall be obliged.
Nov. 10, 1847. J. G.

Hamburgh witnessed a curious proceeding on the
Bth. The scaffold was erected as for an execution be-
fore the principal front of the Exchange, and at twelve
o'clock a large furnace filled with resinous wood was
placed on it. The wood having been set on fire, tho bell
of the Town-hall was rung violently, as is usual during
the execution of decrees inflicting infamous penalties.
At one o'clock, the hour at which merchants are assem
bled on the Exchange, the public executioner ascended
the scaffold, followed by two of his assistants, and after
having caused a drum to be beat, proclaimed in a loud
voice the name of a merchant who bad been declared
' guilty of a fraudulent bankruptcy, and who had taken
to flight. He then displayed to the spectators an enor-
mous placard, bearing the name of the culprit in gigantic
letters. He next caused the drum to be beat a second
time, after which he tossed the placard in the flames.
For twenty-three years no similar execution had taken
place at Hamburgh. By the laws of that city, when a
tradesman fails the state of his affairs is immediately
examined into by a jury nominated by the Tribunal of
Commerce, and the jury has to declare on oath if the
bankrupt be irreproachable, if he be guilty of negli-
gence, or if ho has committed fraud. In the first case,
the Tribunal of Commerce declares him innocent ; in
the second, he is subject to imprisonment for a period
more or less long; in the third, he is liable to be confined
in a House of Correction for from ten to twenty years,
and to be expos( d on the pillory; but if he takes to flight,
his name is publicly burned by the hangman, in the
manner we have described.

TRACEY PEERAGE.—This great case will be brought
to a final conclusion immediately after the meeting of
Parliament. The claimant hag procured further and most
important additional evidence since the claim was last
before the House of Lords, if counsel think necessary
to produce it,—Cheltenham Journal,

ASSOCIATION OP MASTER PRINTERS.—A. special
general meeting of master printers was held at Ander-
ton's Hotel yesterday, at one o'clock, for the purpose of
receiving the report of the Committee of Conference
appointed on the 19th of May last, to settle the various
matters then in dispute, Mr. R. Taylor in the chair.
Mr. Cox, the secretary, read the report of the committee,
which stated that the recommendations contained in it
gave great satisfaction to the compositors. A declara-
tion was also read from the compositors, in which they
expressed their full conviction in the desire of the
masters to do them justice, and that "strikes" amongst
the compositors had received their death-blow. The
London scale of prices, as agreed to in 1810, and which
were embodied in a pamphlet, was handed about; and a
