These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have
amounted to upwards of 100,000/.
In the Life Office/ nearly the whole 44 the profits are divided
among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of
from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty en his own life
for 3,000/., which additions increased to 3,963/.
Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up
within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro-

THE ISLINGTON MURDER.

About 11 o'clock on Tuesday sight a man and his wife,
of the name of Jarvis, residing in one of the cottages in
the immediate neighbourhood of the place where the mur-
der was committed, were apprehend, d on suspicion of
being concerned in the horrible transaction. They were
conveyed to the station-house at Islington, where they were
kept in safe custody the whole night. Yesterday morning,
shout six o'clock, another man, named Gould, was taken
sato custody, in consequence of information ree,:ived by
he police, implicating him in the murder.
At about half-past ten o'clock yesterday, tslie three pri-
soners were conveyed from Islington to the Pol,ee office
in Hatton garden, for examination before the Magistrates.
They were handcuffed together, and as they mar, bed
along the streets were followed by u large crowd of persons.
The night charges at the Police-office having been dis-
posed of, the three prisoners were placed at the bar. Gould
is a tolerably good-looking young fellow, about 20 years
of age; Jervis and his wife are older; they all appear like
persons who gain their livelihood by hard labour.
A Mrs. Allen was the first witm ss examined. She
said that the prisoner Gould had occasionally lodged at her
house for some time past. Lately lie had been in the
habit of sleeping there once a week. He always went to
bed very early. On Monday night last he was to sleep
there, hut instead of coming in at his usual time, he did
not snake his appearance until about three o'clock in the
morning. At that time he went to bed. Early in the
morning the witness saw him washing, or endeavouring in
-oine way to remove what appeared to be stains from his
trousers: This took place in the wash-house.
Mr. Miller, an inspector of police, was next called.—
He said that in consequence of some suspicion he enter-
tained, he went to the cottage in which Gould was stay-
ing. Gould was in bed. He told him to get up, for he
wanted him. Gould asked him what he wanted, and
whether he bad got a warrant 1,.r his apprehension, for,
said he, " I expect one." He searched the prisoner, and
found 9s. in silver in hii trousers pocket, awd seven lucifer
matches in his waistcoat, and on taking him to the watch-
house found a new pair of shoes on his feet. fitness then
sent a sergeant to search the cottage; and he found near
51. in money, and some garments stained with blood. The
velvet waistcoat now produced, belonging to the prisoner,
was also marked with blood, and one part of is was burst.
In answer to a question witness said he took Jervis into
custody because in his house a bag was found containing a
shirt which appeared to have been soiled with blooy
hands. The prisoner Gould told him he had thrown away
his old shoes. On searching the cottage where Gould
was apprehended a cotton stocking and cloth cap were
found. Several other wi,nesses were examined, but their
evidence was net important.
Mr. COOMBE then asked Gould whether he wished to
say anyhing

'Gm;ld-L-Ithink it is as well to stop till all the evidence
is gone into.
John Jarvis said—l can only say that I knelt nothing of
the circumstances until I returned home at night.
Mrs. Jarvis said—There weie only one or two persons
outside the cottage when my husband returned home.
Mr. COOMBE said he would remand all the prisoner's for
further evidence; but there was already sufficient to bind
the witnesses examined over to appear to prosecute them
at t'le Central Criminal Court, which was accordingly
done ; and the prisoners were taken from the bar and locked
up. They were eventually take 3 off in a van amidst a
crowd of spectators.
It is lout justice to state that Francis Capriani, the
Frenchman, who was. remanded on Tuesday, was brought
up early in the morning, and discharged without imputa-
tion.

An inquest was held on the body last night, but no new
facts were brought to light. The inquiry was adjourned
to Monday next.

ORDER OF KNIGHTS OF SAINT

DAVID.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
At the present moment, when the institution of
an Order of Knighthood for the principality of
Wales occupies so prominent a place among the
topics of the day, the following extract from
Planche's " Loyal Records" may not be uninte-

resting :
" Another word whilst upon the subject of Walcs.
The Guelphic Order being a Hanoverian decora-
tion, and consequently no longer at the disposal
of the Sovereign of Great Britain, it has been
rumoured that her Majesty will probably institute
some new order of Knighthood in its place. In
such a case we would most humbly recommend to'
her Majesty's gracious consideration the claims of a
British Saint and Champion who has been sadly
overlooked. Here we have St. George and " The
Most Noble Order of the Garter," for England ;
St. Andrew, with " The Most Ancient Order" of
the Thistle ,for Scotland-; and St. Patrick, with his
" Most Illustrious Order," for Ireland ; btit Wales,
the fourth gem of the British Crown---that gives a
title to its heir—that gave a title to the I3lr.ck
Prince ; the land of Arthur and Llewellyn,the country
of the Bards, the soil of the Royal Tree of Tudor;
has not only been excluded from representation in
the arms of every British Sovereign since Eliza-
beth, but her Patrod 'Saint has been denied the
honours of chivalric fellowship, which have beep
lavished on many other holy and renowned cham-
pions of Christendom."
With regard to the Guelphic Order above alluded
to, its preamble states t hat it has been instituted " to
reward faithful servants of the State, intAriduals de-
voted to his Maje Sty's exalted person, Ngtiquishel
services to- the country, and the undoubted proofs, of
unshaken fidelity and attachment shown by all claswtt
of our beloved German 'subjects, partieetilorly thci
never-to-be-forgotten fame obtained at tin, battle d
Waterloo," &c.
Now, surely, if the above qualifications. are to be
considered as forming a claim to Royal notice, few.
of her Majesty's subjects can assert a stronger title
to this honourable distinction than the -natives of
\Vales. Whether we look to their unshaken loyalty
at home, or their bravery in the field, from the 'ar-
duous and protracted struggle of the Peninsulit.to
the fierce and decisive conflict of Waterloo, no Where
shall we find more illustrious instances of devoted-
ness and valour than amongst the Welsh. At the
last-named battle, so well established was the high
character of one of the heroes of Cambria in the
mind of his formidable antagonist, that on the morn-
ing of that day one of Napoleon's first inqui-
ries was, "On est la division de Picton ," The
Order of Knighthood having been granted to the
lonian Isles, it is doubly singular that it should
have been left for our present Queen to notice the
lost • augmentation .of territory by the Crown of
England instituting the famous order of &t. David,
and to her Majesty's honour it will ever redound,
whether instituted on her nuptials or on the birth
of a Prince of Wales. It is unaccountable how
the arms of the Principality happen to he omitted
in the Royal escutcheon with those of England,
and also how it is that the Red Dragon, the an-
cient banner of the Princes of \Vales, has been for-
gotten in the State processions of the late reign,
especially as Henry VII. instituted the heraldic
degree of Iton.):,e Dragon expressly 'to commemo-
rate the victorious standard of Bosworth.

EFFECT OF THE NEW POSTAGE
ARRANGEMENTS ON THE NUMBER OF
LETTERS. •

At the Statistical Society on Monday evenin !, a corn-
municatkon from Mr. Rowland Hill on this subject was
read. It consisted of a series of estimates based upon
the returns which have just been laid on the table of the
House of Commons. The returns were stated to give
the number of letters delivered from the several Post-
offices of the United Kingdom, according to an account
taken libr three separate weeks ; the first before the re•
duction, the second during the operation of the four-
parny, and the third during the penny rate.
The totals for these Reeks (including franks during
the two first) were stated to be as follows :
Week ending 24th Nov., 1839, 1,585,973 letters.
22d Dec., 1839, 2,008,687 do.
23d Feb., 1840, 3,190,637 do.
Deducting franks, the numbers of the week of November,
become 1,450,873, and of the week of the fouroenny
rate, 1,874,587. In order to estimate the increase on
general-post letters, the letters of the old penny-posts,
and of the London twopen )y-post, where a small re-
duction only was made, should be deducted. From an),
examination of the whole account, it :tpreared
t 1 r't
un.4n. the 4d. rate letters of all kinds inocnsed 29 per
cent.; and under the Id. rate, 121 per cent. ; or, de,-
ducting the Government letters, 117 pe# cent. The
greatest increase, under both the 4d. and Id. rates, hats
taken place in Scotland. Under the 4d, tate, tire
chargeable general-post letters increased 40 per cent.,
and under the Id. rate, 169 per cent., or, d.-eluding the
Government letters, 165 per cent. In London, the
communication stated, that the district unpaid letters
averaged about one in seven, whilst those of the gene_
ral.post were about one in thirteen.—Morning ch

On 'Tuesday forenoon the 'body of a respectable
cle'ssed lad, about sixteen years of age, was discovered floating
o.:the Thames, near St. George's stairs, Deptford. Being
conreved it thore, a search was Made, but nothing was found
deVased to lead to his name or address. The body was
