a rather small yet respectable practice, and had not the Adver-

much extended.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
SINCE I had the honour of addressing you on
the Bth ult., it has been intimated to me that a very
strong feeling exists amour the the Proprietors of the expendiency
of electing a Military Officer, from the Bengal Presidency into
the Direction of your affairs; the result of the Ballot at the
East India House on the 2d inst., is a powerful corroboration
of this feeling ; and these circumstances, combined with the
fact of another distinguished Military Officer from the Bengal
Service, having pledged himself to proceed to the Ballot on the
next Vacancy, indnees me to take the earliest opportunity of
stating the course I propose to adopt, and I respectfully hope
that in determining to waive my pretensions on the next occa-
sion, my numerous friends and supporters will give me credit
for acting solely in deference to what I believe to be the
wishes generally entertained by the great body of East India
Proprietors, and not from any apprehension of the final issue of
my canvass, which through their kind and continued support, I
have sanguine hopes will on the subsequent vacancy be crowned
with success.

I have the honour to remain, with the greatest respect,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble servant,
W. H. CHICHEL EY PLOW DEN.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.

By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, nGt only to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.

1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at a give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d.: 3941. Ils. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 466/. at death.

2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,
prospectuses, tables, az.c., may be obtained at the office of the
Society, by letter or otherwise, 26, Cornhill, London, or at
any of its Branches throughout the country.

MR. BUNN'S WORK ON THE STAGE.—
" This Book," says the Times, " is valuable on two accounts.
In the first place it abounds with amusing anecdote, and traits
of character, which is its least merit ; and in the second, it
has a far deeper :object—that of exhibiting the various evils
that beset our present dramatic system, and that often threaten
to compromise the very existence of the drama. The jokes of
the book are the bubbles that [sport on the surface, but the real
substance is the development of truth. The work throws much
light on a remarkable period of dramatic history, and the most
prom;nent persons in modern theatrical life stand, not drawn
by the pencil of an artist, but sketched in their own pen and
ink. We conclude with the almost superfluous remark, that
Mr. Bunn's book should be in the possession of all who take
interest in the London life of the years to which it refers, as
exhibited in this important feature of public amusements."
ELBOW ROOM.—Elbow room has been quite
scarce in Nashville during the past week. Such scrouging,
goudging, turning in and turning out, has seldom before been
witnessed. Instance the following :—Traveller dismounts at
a tavern. " Halloa, landlord—can I get lodgings here to-
night ?" Landlord. " No, Sir ; every room in the house is
engaged." Traveller. " Can't you even give me a blanket,
and a bunch of shavings for a pillow, in your bar-room ?" Land-
lord. " No, Sir; there's not a square foot of space unoccupied
anywhere in the house." Traveller. "Then I'll thank you,
Sir, to shove a pole ont of your second-floor window, and I'll
roost on that."—American Paper.
" A RAT, A RAT I"—The Providence Ga-
zette states as a fact, that a rat caught in a trap in that city ac-
tually crept out of his skin to liberate himself! It appears,
says the American editor, that the animal was caught by the
forehead, and that having eaten off his forefeet, he crawled en-
tirely out of his skin, leaving the flesh side of his, skin outward.

gained, after seven days' hard fighting, in the
between Tours and Poitiers, in the year 743 ; and
rescued the West of Europe from the dominion of the
Infidels. The author does not go very deep into his
subject---indced his contracted limits will not permit
him to do so ; but he glances pleasantly enough over
the surface of history ; and in his biographical sketch
of Mahomet, and still more in his brief and just estimate
of his character, we recognise a fearless and unprejudiced
spirit that loves to think for itself.

MEDDLINGS WITH THE MUSE.
Simphin, London, 1840.
A collection of small, inoffensive poesy, which, we
suspect, has given the author more ple6sure in writing.
than the reader will derive from perusing. The senti-
ments, however, are amiable and orthodox enough, and
the versification is not devoid of smoothness.
