NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU-
RANCE SOCIETY.
OFFICE, 26, CORNIYILL, LONDON.
Capital 500,0001.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
The system of Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by the Na-
tional Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, for the better advance-
ment of the objects of Benefit and Friendly Societies, having; received
the approbation of a considerable body cf the active members and
ollicers of those Institutions, and the Directors of the National Loan
Fund Society having been urgently solicited by them to establish a
Branch Office in connexion with those Societies and the Operative
Classes generally, in which their services inight be successfully en-
gaged, a Committee has been sanctioned by the Directors to open
communication with the different Societies, with the view of more
effeetually d.sseminating the valuable benefits amongst the indus-
trious classes, and a plan has been proposed with that object.
ADDRESS OF THE COMMITTEE.
Many praiseworthy but ineffectual attempts have been made to
bring within the scope and operation of the Less of mortality and
money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal-
culations regulating their distribution, having for their object either
immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits.
A slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con-
struction of these associations or societies is defective; and that in-
stead of affording an easy access and a free choice of investment,
which should be the privilege of every one, they confine too nar-
rowly the channel through which a benefit can alone be secared ;
and, in proportion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed,
their utility is limited. For example, it is not to every Individual,
or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision
in case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a
pecnniary sacrifice; white to others such a provision appears more
attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness is a risk
against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state
of things there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say,
instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more
contingent or deterred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate
benefit should have its separate contribution.
It is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of
two dissimilar functions, and by confounding a sick allowance and
an annuity fund in one and the self-same payment, that much of the
evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies.
No mechanism can be so perfect for the management of a sick -
ress-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso-
ciation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By
this means a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and
none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it.
But the same perfection,' or the same security, is seldom attainable
where a fund is to be accumulated throligh a succession of years,
and where results are to bear oat calculation% money investment
being in general beyond the experience of the inchtstrious classes.
For these reasons it is clear that the funds destined for a provision in
sickness should be kept entirely distinct from the fund intended as a
provision for old age :-
Ist. Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently
connected, do not depend on the same calculation.
2d. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a
larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing
for probable sickness on themselves.
3d. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old age,
continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible
with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and individual irre-
sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of
such a contract, that when undertaken on the same principles that
ordinarily govern commercial 'sortie,.
4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when
united in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi-
nish still more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en-
danger the one for the sake of the other.
Impressed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge
of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing
Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here-
unto attached, have had several meetings, with a view of proposing
or adopting a remedy for these and other evils ; and in this manner
to give an additional force to the principles of brotherhood, unity,
and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding
them from the risks of sudden dissolution.
After much diligent search amon.ist the combiftationi ingeniously
proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal
objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal
in simplicity and comprehensiveness of design, as well as forethought
and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan
proposed by the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. It is
true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against
provision in sickness; but. without concurring in the immediate ex-
pediency of abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the
other pa7t of the plan itself, without being fully sa.istled that the
conven ence and safety of Friendly and Itenefit Societies will be
greatly secured and consulted, by separating the payment of a sick
allowance from an annuity for old age.
A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan
Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to
them for the establishment of a separate office for the transaction of
business connected with Fries illy and Benefit Societies, and the in-
dustrious classes in general, resolutions have been entered into, con-
stituting the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its
number, for the promulgation of the benefits contained in the an-
nexed prospectus, under the guarantee of the Capital of the Society,
and which), without interfering with the numerous objects connected
with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their
opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection
to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to
the present day has adequately secured to them.

MAGAZINES CONTINUED.

THE QUARTERLY REVIEW. No. CLVIII.
Nine distinct articles constitute the 158th number
of the Quarterly. Upon the " Recent _Editions of
Shakspere," the Reviewer utters a very copious and
somewhat acrimonious diatribe, awarding little credit
to Mr. Payne Collier, and less to Mr. Charles Knight.
We cannot but think that the observations upon the.
latter commentator are characterised by a tone rather
too invidious, and, to our thinking, very little de-
served. To Mr. Knight the English nation is in-
debted for a splendid edition of our immortal dramatist;
an edition more accurate than any individual edition
ever previously issued, illustrated by antiquarian and
philological notes of singular value, and accompanied
by the most ingenious biography of the poet of poets.
When, therefore, we find the Quarterly Reviewer
bantering Mr, Knight upon the slovenliness of his
English, and bantering him in English as slovenly,
and uncondensed, and straggling, as any we can
just now call to our recollection, we are disposed to
"skip" the remainder of the article for something
less splenetic and more agreeable. But we refrain
from yielding to this momentary ebulition of indig-
nation, because of the acuteness by which these un-
merited sarcasms are accompanied. While we pro-
test against the Reviewer as having... no right to
criricise the style of Mr. Knight, innarnuch as he him-
self has, in page 311, penned, perldps, the worst con-
structed sentence ever printed' in the Quarterly (be-
ginning " His fellow-payers, who enjoyed," Sre.), we t
are bound to acknowledge that the criticism, in its:
entirety is a beautiful and charming 'composition.
Speaking of Dr. Johnson as among the most distin-

guished of the very many distinguished commentators
on Shakspere, we are rejoiced to observe that
the writer awards him the praise which has been

hitherto so seldom and so grudgingly pronounced, but
to which he is so justly and so eminently entitled. Ac-
cording to the Aristida3an principle, it has become the
fashion to depreciate the abilities and to disparage the
disposition of the Doctor. Now-a-days he is seldom
depicted as other than a surly old brute in a snuff-

coloured coat and worsted stockings, growling per-
petually over the tea-table of Mrs. Thrale, throwing
the insolent 2Egis of his patronage over Goldsmith,
leading the town by the nose as coarsely as Saint
Dunstan did the Devil, retailing platitudes to
Bozzy, and possessing altogether about as much
capacity for political criticism as a hound or a hedge-
hog. Never was a gigantic mind so traduced, never
was a subtle fancy so maligned, never was so great a
man so miserably and causelessly caricatured. Like
all creatures of genius, Dr. Johnson had his eccen-
tricities many of them unpleasant eccentricities
—but that his intellect was pliant and com-
prehensive, that his literary knowledge was profound
and versatile, that his judgment was ripe, his per-
ception keen, and his heart sensitive to its very core,
not all the fribbles of the " parrot sentimentalists"
and the " minnow antiquists" of this or any other
generation can disprove.

" Whatever flawii later criticism may have detected in
Johnson's own magnificent preface, it helped to make
Shukspere better appreciated. His notes accom-
plished the same end. He had, unfortunately, but little
sympathy with the ideal parts of poetry—nor had he
patience always to penetrate into his author's design,
which required a stronger belief than he entertained of
Sbakspere's approximation to artistic infallibility
but his great general powers enabled him to paraphrase
into perspicuity many an involved and muigmatical line
—to stamp with a more legible impress many a noble
specimen of worn or corroded coinage ; and few things
are more disgusting than the disrespect with which his
Shaksperian labours generally are treated by the
parrot sentimentalists as well as the minnow antiquists
of later times."

ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

WESTBURY.—In consequence of the sudden and la-
mented decease, of T. H. H. Phipps, Esq., of Leighton
House, on Sunday last, all operations were immediately
suspended in reference to the contest for the representa-
tion of Westbury, which have been actively prosecuted
during the last three weeks. With the same good taste
which has marked Mr. Wilson's proceedings throughout
the contest, and which has obtained for him the general
respect of the borough, that gentleman left Westbury
for London early on Monday morning, in order to pre-
vent the slightest appearance of a canvass being con-
tinued, which his presence in the town might still have
given rise to.—Wilts Independent.
OXFORD.—We hear that the Honourable T. E. Stonor
(son of Lord Camoys), who was foreman of the grand
jury at the late assizes, is to be brought forward on
the Liberal interest at the next election.—Banbury
Guardian.

LINCOLN.—It would appear that the attempt to get
Mr. Collett not to contest the city of Lincoln at the
next election is a complete failure, as parties professing
to be in the secret of Mr. Collett's intentions state that
he will not be -induced to leave the Seld.—Stamford
Mercury.
HERTFORDSHIRE.—TWO of the sitting members for

In a subsequent paragraph the critic remarks, that
no judieous editor would ever attempt to supersede
the majority of the Doctor's notes upon Shakspere,
seeing that " for beauty and force they are rot to be
surpassed." One figurative expression in this paper
strikes us as being peculiarly happy, exemplifying as
it does in a single sentence, the advantages derivable
from the multitude of commentators on our greatest
fellow-countryman. Shakspere, observes the writer,
" is like a vast 'country from which no persevrring
voyager returns without affixing his name to an islet
or a creek which had eluded former explorers." Such
is the amplitude of that continent of poetry ! Before
we proceed to another article we must commend the
elegance and originality of the elucidatory passages
upon the opening scene in " Hamlet," that inimitable
and thrilling scene, " every minute circumstance" of
which Mrs. Radcliffe regarded as " contributing to
excite some feeling of dreariness, or melancholy, or
solemnity, or expectation." (See her posthumous paper
on "The Supernatural in Poetry.") A learned essay,
descriptive of " Private Life among
the Greeks and
Romans," and a palatable rechauffee from "Planche's
History of Costume" follow. When we have re-
marked that the Quarterly considers the Government
protest against the Montpensier alliance as having
been made " under an erroneous interpretation of the
Treaty of Utrecht," and maintains
"that the mar-
riage in question is not at variance with the stipula-
tions of any treaty or with public law," we are
persuaded that enough has been said upon the chapter
about the late Spanish intrigues. Our readers will
not be solicitous to dip
again into the dregs of
such eccentric arguments as those adduced by the
Honourable Gentleman the Member for Shrewsbury
and the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn ; dregs,
too, which taste neither of the saccharine absurdities of
Lord George Bentinck or the acid wit of Mr. Dis-
raeli. One of the most extraordinary discoveries of
modern times is undoubtedly that of the arrow-head-
ed writings of Behistan, containing a history of Da-
rius Hystaspes, his deeds, his possessions, and his pa-
rentage. By deciphering these mysterious hierogly-
phics, the science of philology has achieved little short
of a miracle, and has confirmed not only the records
of Herodotus but of every profane historian. As a
popular account of this marvellous discovery the pa-
per relating to it in the Quarterly deserves the highest
eulogium. It is scrupulously sequential throughout
—is comprehensible to the shallowe3t understanding,
without descending to a puerile simplicity, and com-
presses the substance of many volumes into the com-
pass of a pamphlet. The utter extravagance of the
Irish policy unfolded by one of the reviewers in a

Hertfordshire are, it is said, desirous of retiring, and
Colonel Calvert, Mr. Hale, Mr. Spencer Cowper, Sir
E. L. Bulwer Lytton, and Mr. Bosauquet, have, accord-
ing to the Hertford Mercury, declined the honour of
being placed in nomination. Requisitions are now in
course of signature, to be presented to Mr. Brand, a
gentleman of Whig politics and much respected in the
county ; and should he consent to be a candidate, his
return is regarded as certain.— Stamford Mercury.
BODMIN.-Mr. Wyld, the eminent map and chart
seller at Charing-cross, is canvassing the electors of
Bodinin, in anticipation of a speedy dissolution of Par-
liament. Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Butt, both of the
Western Circuit, are also spoken of as candidates.—
Plymouth Journal.

KENDAL ELECTION.—Mr. George Carr Glyn has
issued an address to the electors of KendaL His senti-
ments are manly, straightforward, and liberal. His
well-known business habits have met with much favour
in this independent borough. The electors appointed a
committee to select a suitable candidate, and from those
who were named, the committee resolved that Mr. Glyn's
sentiments were satisfactory, and will report such an
opinion to a meeting of the electors to be held on Tues-
day next. Certainly the manner in which the choice of
candidates is conducted in Kendal, and the unanimity
and prudence manifested, is deserving of much praise.

Ireland, shall have been drawn up and deposited

and the removal of the town of INiiielsor, are nothing
in feasibility to this. Remembering the melancholy
fate of Colonel Gurwood, the
supplementary notice
of the new edition of the " Wellingtem Dispatches,"
collected and produced under his supervision, cannot
be regarded as superfluous or ill-timed. Two other
contributions—the first and last—complete this num-
ber of the review; both biographical, both of con-
siderah:e length, and both penned with superior
ability. One in commemoration of a distinguished
sailor, the other of a remarkable statesman, namely
of Vice-Admiral Sir Jableel Brenton and of
the Right Honourable Viscount Sidmouth. One is
suggested by a memoir written by the
Rev. Henry
Helices, Chancellor of the Diocese of Chester, the
other by a memoir from the pen of the Hon. and
Rev. George Pellew, the Dean of Norwich. As may
readily be anticipated, the " Life of Lord Sidmouth,"
depicted in the Quarterly Review is coloured by that

political, when viewed through its old Tory goggles.

meagre. Mr. Justice Made reminded the authorities of
this, the other day, in rather a humorous manner.
Coming into court in the morning, with his little three-
cornered hat, which the judge carries in his hand, his
Lordship cast his eyes above and around, but saw no
place convenient for the deposit of the judicial " tile."
His Lordship, turning round t 3 the Under-Sheriff, ad-
dressed him in a loud tone of voice—" Mr. Under-
Sheriff, take my hat back to my lodgings, there seems to
be no room for it here."

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The Registered Paletot of
Llama cloth, the most fashionable coat for both the present
and approaching seasons, still retains the same moderate
price, which, with its usefulness and gentlemanly appear-
ance, has secured such geteral popularity. It has been made
by special command for their Royal Highnesses Prince
Albert, Prince George of Cambridge, Prince Edward of Saxe
Weimar, Ins Grace the Duke of Wellington, and the several
royal visitors to the British Court. In London it can only
be purchased of the patentees, H. J. and D. Nicoll, Court
tailors, 114, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill. Agents for
Liverpool, Dawbarn and Son, Bold-street ; for Dublin, Geo.
Macdona, Molesworth-street ; for Birmingham, Wareing and
Son, New-street; for Edinburgh, Christie and Son, George-
street ; and the principal tailors in other large towns.
PROOF OF ENORMITY OF PROFITS ON GAS.—At
a recent special meeting of the Liverpool Council, Mr.
Denson pointed attention to the fact, that the Guardian
Company, by compelling tho old establishments to
reduce their prices from 7s. to 4s. 6d., had been the
means of effecting a saving of no less than 36,000/ per
annum to the inhabitants. And he might have also
pointed
attention to the consequent fact, that these two
establishments must have therefore been previously in
the habit of coolly pocketing this very 36,000/. per
annum themselves, over and above all their present more
than sufficient profits.—The Builder.
