DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, not 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 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d.: 3941. 11s. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 4661. at death.
2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or wanra 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, &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.

CIIILDRENS ' FRIEND SOCIETY.
At the ANNUAL MEETING, held on the 30th of
May, the COMMITTEE of MANAGEMENT were recom-
mended to take the necessary steps for establishing an
INDUSTRIAL ASYLUM at the Cape of Good Hope,
on a similar plan to the Brenton Asylum at Hackney
Wick. A subscription has accordingly been opened for the
purpose of raising the sum of 2,0001., which will be required
to take and stock a suitable farm, and provide for the probable
expenses of the first two years; after which period it is ex-
pected that it will become a self-sipporting establishment.
In this Colonial Asylum the children might be kept under
moral and religious :raining for a longer period than is now
possible, and might also obtain, on the spot, practical know-
ledge sufficient to secure their future prospects in the colony.

EDUCATION.

Lord J. RUSSELL stated, in answer to a question from
some Hon. Member, that the vote for the Education Grant
would be proposed in conformity with an arrangement
entered into with the Archbishop of Canterbury, and
therefore he did not anticipate any long discussion on the
subject. He thought the Committee of Supply would
probably come on en Monday, when that vote would be
taken.

The Drainage (Ireland) Bill was referred to a Select
Committee.

The Pilots Bill was read a second time.
The Report on the Prisons (Ireland) Bill was brought
up, and a verbal amendment agreed to on the motion of
Lord Morpeth.
The Parliamentary Boroughs Bill, the Friendly So-
cieties Bill, and the Assessed Taxes Bill, were severally
read a third time and passed.
Mr. P. KELLY moved for leave to bring in a Bill for
the abolition of the punishment of death in Ireland.
Mr. F. MA ULE said that he would not consent to the
introduction of the Bill unless its provisions were framed
in a different manner from the form of the Bill which
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had brought in for
England.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he was a
zealous supporter of the principle of the measure,
but he most humbly and earnestly prayed the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman not to press the Bill for England and
Ireland in the present Session.
After a few words from Mr. Elliott, Mr. Pigot, and
Lord Morpeth, leave was given to bring in the Bill.
Mr. KELLY subsequently brought in the Bill, which
was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time
en Wednesday next.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and I
the House adjourned at Ten Minutes before Two o'Clock.

LITERATURE

PERSONAL NARRATIVE OF A VISIT TO
GHUZNI, KABUL, 6-c.
Whittaker, London, 1840.
The most interesting portions of this volume are those
which record some of the sayings and doings of the late
Runjit Sing, who seems to have been an oriental despot
of very original character—that is to say, fond of broad
humour, and more particularly of practical jokes 1 de-
void of anything like pride or ostentation, except.
when state purposes made display neces::-„ry ; an
absolute monarch, yet without (I:..celty ; and as
shrewd a politician as any '.'eat the tut India
Company—to whom he rl,l ways professed great attach-
ment—has ever to deal With. Mr. Vigne, the
author of this.vark,hashad many opportunities of form-
ing an, c!",imater 'off' Runjit Sing, and has given us a fair
enou'h nation of his public and private character, which,
considerieg the gem ral run of Eastern potentates, may;
on the whole, be pronounced favourable. Here is one
of his Highness's cecen-,7•icities :
" One day a favcurite dancing girl tied his hands toge-
ther, most likely at his own request, she thinking it, no
doubt, an excellent joke to have done so. Runjit then
sent in a hurry for twe of his principal officers, or Sirdars,
who kapidly obeyed the summons, thinking that business
of importance was to be discussed, and feigned the
;greatest horror at seeing their master with his hands
tied. Runjit then asked them what punishment
ought to be inflicted upon the person who had dared to
tic his hands 1 A heavy fine was the reply ; and Runjit
made the girl refund him several thousand of his rupees for
her temerity ; all of which, and more with them, she was
quite sure of receiving again afterwards I and then
then got fifty thousand rupees a-piece from hie two
Sirdars, for the honour of untying him I"
Speaking of the course of.11;;Iicy recently rut sued in
India, Mr. Vigne says., enat he never denbted the cor-
rectness of those measures which it became necessary
to pursue by tending the late expedition to Affghanistan ;
and .'.;acts,in allusion to the raising of the siege of Herat,
" this has entirely changed the aspect of affairs in the
East, and saved the British empire in India from conse-
quences, the extent of which cannot be Contemplated,
but. of which enough could be foreseen ttl enable us to
pronounce on the possibility of their seriously, for a
time, affecting its very existence. England has now the
vantage-ground and if she hold her own, and a tight
hr.nd be kept over those unfortunate differences of opi-
nion by which the diplomats, under the meridian of the
Indus, are so notoriously agitated, she may snap her
fingers at Russia, and have nothing to fear on the score
of successful invasion." Mr. Vigne is an intelligent
writer, but his volume is of .rather too slight and sketchy
a character too carry any very great weight with it.

THE BANKER LORD.
A NOVEL.
" ' The Banker Lord ' is a novel of more variety, bustle, in-
cident, and character, than any that we have lately had, even
from our most accredited and popular writers. The Irish cha-
racters and sketches, for instance, are fully equal to those in-
cluded in Mrs. Hall's ' Young Maid's Fortunes ;' the sketches
of fashionable and pseudo-fashionable life may vie in point,
spirit, and lightness, with those of Mrs. Gore in ' Preferment ;'
and the descriptive sketches of a humorous class have much of
the breadth and force of Mrs. Trollope's in The Widow Mar-
ried.' •The Banker Lord' is, in fact, a capital novel, and,
with the single exception last-named, it is decidedly the most
entertaining one of the season."—Naval and Military Gazette.

THE OLD HOUSE INTEREST.

The perfection of an abstract principle consists in its
being applicable to the explanation of the most minute
phenomena, yet capable of being extended so as to em-
brace the most extensive and complicated. It should
be like the elephant's trunk, as described by the showman
—" able to uproot a tree or pick up a pin." Lord Se-
grave enounced a principle of this kind in the debate on
the Chimney.sweepers Bid. The cruelty of exposing
children of tender years to violent deaths and to certain
disease, by forcing them to tasks nauseous in themselves
and frequently requiring exertions beyond their strength,
was denied by none of the speakers. But the Noble
Lord observed, " That in many old houses it would
be almost impossible to alter chimneys in such a
manner as to render it practicable to dispense with
the assistance of boys ; and if this Bill passed into a
law, property in the country would be placed in a,
state of great danger.' His Lordship has with singular
felicity crammed into these few words the quintessence
of aristocratic objection to any innovation whatever—th
eventual danger to "old houses." Try his P.;,,phtliegm
upon any question of reform that ma" occur, it will be
found to fit. The repeal of Corn-laws is opposed,
because it would end:.nger " old houses" and " pro-
perty in the co:.,utry.a Church reform is opposed, be-
cause it :flight bring down an " old house" about our
Grapple with the Bank of England question, and
there it no saying how many " old houses " in the City
rnay be shaken. If John Thorogood be not kept in
prison, what chance have " old houses" (of prayer) to
be repaired ? Throw " old houses " into one scale, and
sound policy, justice, and humanity into another, the
latter must kick the beam. It will serve materially to
abridge the tedium of Parliamentary debates, if Lord
Segrave's enunciation of this ail-sufficing argument be
adopted in future, In time it may be even further
abridged. " There is an old house in the way," will at
once arrest the progress of the most determined innova-
tor. Lord Segrave is the Aristotle, or Duns Scotus,
or Raymond Lully of the " old house" of which he is the
prop and ornament—he has invented an argument uni-
versally applicable.—Spectator.

HATTON-GARDEN.

An old woman, who is stated to be possessed of very
considerable fortune, named Desdemona Williamson,
was charged by Mr. R. Pethick with setting fire to
his house in Thatched-house-row, Islington. The
complainant stated that Mrs. Williamson came home
on Friday night in a state of intoxication, and set fire
to his house, in which k.he lodged. He hoped the Ma'
gistrate would award her some punishment, as, had it
not been for the intrepidity of the police officer, his
whole family and the defendant must have been burned
to death.

The Magistrate asked if the fire were accidently or
wilfully occasioned by the defendant.

Mr. Pethick said it was accidental.
The Magistrate regretted that he could not punish
her, Had it been a servant, he could have fined her
1001. for her carelessness ; and the old woman was coil"
sequently discharged.

LAMBETH-STREET.
Sarah Lott, a middle-aged woman, was charged
with stabbing Mary Ann Clewley. The prosecutor
stated that on tilts. 9th of the present month the Prir-
sour, who lodged in the same room with her, citltifr
rolled, in consequence of witness wearing some of ber
clothes, when the prisoner seized a knife, and aimed
thrust at her head with it. Witness put up her arm to
ward off the blow, when the knife entered it et the
elbow, and cut the flesh to the bone as tar as the wrist.
She was carried to the hospital, and remains a patient
there now.
The Assistant-Surgeon of the London Hospital
stated the nature of the wound, which was very due'
gerous, and expressed a hope of restoring the use 0
the arm.
The prisoner declared the wound to be the result er
the prosecutor's falling against her while she had the
knife in her hand.
She was fully committed for trial on the capital
charge.

CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.

(Abridged from the Shrewsbury Chronicle.)
An inquest, which has created a great deal of public
attention, especially in the vicinity of Dorrington, was
held at the La mary in this town, on Monday and Wed-
nesday, before Mr. Jones, the Borough Coroner, on the
body of Sarah Edwards, the mother of two illegitimate
children. The deceased woman was only 21 years
of age. One of her children was near two years old,
the other scarcely a month. Becoming tired of the
wholesome restraints of the Union workhouse at Atcham,
she insisted on departing thence ; and going home to
Dorrington, she left the two infants " at the doors
of two houses in that place, and there left them to such
care as the humane could afford them, and went off
to Wellington." The case attacted the notice of
the County Police, and a warrant being obtained,
an officer was despatched to Wellington, who appre•
bonded the deceased, who was brought froin Wel-
lington on foot, to the Greyhound Inn, at Dorrington,
a distance of ten miles, to answer for her crime. She
was taken ill at the Greyhound, and Mr. Mil-
lington, a surgeon, was sent by the Magistrate's
order to visit her, who found her free from pain,
but very much terrified at the thought of being taken
to Shrewsbury ; but did not believe her removal in a
cart would injure her. Police Constable Davies took
her from Dorrington to Shrewsbury in a cart ; she
appeared both ill and frightened when she started,
and infortred Davies that " she bad walked back on
the previous night to the houses where she had left
her children, to listen if they cried," and that her only
support was a draught of water from Condover Brook.
On arriving in Shrewsbury, she was taken before Capt.
Mayne, at the County Police-office, who directed a sur-
geon to examine her, and his report induced Capt. Mayne
to send her to the Infirmary, where (Mr. Wood, the
House Surgeon, stated) she arrived in a debilitated and
dangerous state, nearly unconscious, and labouring un-
der milk fever, and she died on the Saturday following.
The object of the inquiry was to decide whether the
deceased was in a proper state of health to be re.
moved in a cart from Dorrington to Shrewsbury,
and on that point the chief evidence was Mrs. Jones,
of the Greyhound Inn, Dorrington, who said, when
the deceased arrived at her house, she was pretty
well, and had some ham for her supper. She was
not then in an unfit state to be removed ; nor was there
any objection on her part to go to Shrewsbury, although
she complained that her head was light.
The Jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased
died from natural causes, and that she was not in an un-
fit state to be removed from Dorrington to Shrewsbury.'

THE GREEK PATRIARCH.

The following letter and documents throw some
light on the dispute between Sir Howard Douglas
and the Greek Patriarch, with respect to the late
proceedings in the lonian Islands. We give the
letter without concurring in all the opinions of the
writer. The report of the Turkish Commissioner
to the Sublime Porte will be found interesting, on
account of the subject to which it refers, as well as
the impartiality, good sense, and religious toleration
which it exhibits throughout. By the orders of
the Sultan, they summoned the Patriarch before
them, and after closely interrogating him on the
instructions transmitted to the lonian Bishops, and
reasoning with him on the line of conduct which
he had pursued, they delivered to the Sultan the
result of the inquiry, which we have subjoined to
the letter of our Correspondent :
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I am enabled to place before you a trans-
lation of the examination of the Greek Patriarch,
by a Commission appointed by the Sublime Porte,
to investigate certain charges brought against him
by the British Government. From that report you
will be best able to judge for yourself whether the
conduct of Lord Ponsonby, in forcing the Sultan
to dismiss the Head of the Church of the Eastern
Christians, because he remonstrated against what
he considers an unjustifiable interference with his
religion, redounds much to his credit. I wonder
what Mr. O'Connell would say, were the English
people to insist on the Emperor of Austria's march-
ing his Hungarians upon Rome, to dispossess the
Pope ? Yet the Patriarch of Constantinople stands
in the same exalted position to the many millions
of the Christians of the East. The fairness of spirit
exhibited by the Commission, speaks much in fa-
vour of the march of political refinement in Turkey.
The Patriarch, it would appear, was dismissed, not
for what he had done or written, but because Lord
Ponsonby demanded it, and because his dismissal
enabled Sir H. Douglas to play Henry VIII. in
the lonian Islands, without interruption. The
original appeared in the Ottoman Moniteur at the
time, and i❑ Nos. 776 to 777 of the 'A 'x Greek
newspaper.

THE REPORT.

The Commission, in submitting the result of their
labours to the Sublime Porte, considers it a duty to add
a few observations :—Where there is a question con-
cerning the duties, the rights, and the religious dogmas
of another religion, we do not take upon ourselves to
regulate the conduct of the Patriarch, as far as regards
the exertion of his authority. But as, apart from this,
the Sublime Porte has always admittcd the principle of
granting to all religions full liberty of conscience with-
out interfering with them, we must on the account re-
frain from offering any opinion as to the nature of those
religious connexions which the Patriarch may have with
the inhabitants of the lonian Islands.

Our duty dictates us only to point out here certain
passages of the letter addressed by the Patriarch to the
Bishops of those islands, as well as some extracts from
the pamphlet that was printed here, the whole of which
has been translated, and some expressions of which ap-
pear to us calculated to cause the displeasure of every
friendly Power.

GUILDHALL.

John Williams, whose real name is John Edward
Broad, was charged with obtaining a roll of parchment,
value 51., by means of a forged order. The prisoner
went to the b:-,use of Messrs. Cooper and:Co , parchment
manufacturers, on Thursday, and presenting an order
purporting to be signed by Messrs. Williams, xei-
lum binders, of Bucklersbury, for sixty skins of
parchment ; the quantity was given, but after he left
suspicion of its genuineness was excited, from the
form being written, and not, as usual, printed : on going
to Messrs. Williams it was pronounced a forgery. On
Friday the prisoner came again and presented another
order, upon which he was asked to accompany a person
to Bucklersbury, but on the journey he confessed it to
be a forgery, and was given into custody.
Mr. Williams, one of the firm, stated tho order was
forged, and that the prisoner had once been in their
service.

On being asked by the ALDERMAN if he had any-
thing to say, the prisoner replied in the negative, and
was fully committed for trial.

THE LATE OUTRAGE ON A POLICEMAN.--.The Earl
of Waldegrave and Captain D 4 '
attended' on Saturday
at this office, for the purpose of putting in bail to
meet an indictment preferred against them for having
grossly ill-treated a policeman, in company with two
other young men of rank, who arc not yet under pro-
secution.

Mr. Hobler, who attended on behalf of the prose-
cution, and who appeared to have been instructed to
follow up the case with the utmost rigour of the law,
told Mr. Long that he had nothing to allege against
the bail produced by Lord Waldegrave and Captain
Duff, against whom a true bill had been found, to
answer for the assault on the injured policeman.
Mr. LONG asked if there were any proof that the bill
of indictment had been found.
Mr. Nobler admitted that he was at that moment
unprepared with the requisite evidence of the fact.
Mr. LONG said it was necessary he should have the
legal proof of the bill of indictment before he could hold
the defendants to bail. The further proceedings were
ultimately postponed till Monday.

soner dropped the plate and ran out, followed by Davis►
and was caught in Wimpole,strcet. The plate, having
been mixed, could not be identified ; and the Magill'
trate, regretting he could not commit him for trial, sen-
tenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment for
being on the premises with a felonious intent.
Jemima Snape, the woman who was on Friday
charged with setting fire to the house of Mrs. Thonute
in George-street, Portland-place, was again put to the
bar, when a witness stated that the prisoner's boxes
were against the street door when the fire was first
discovered. Day, who first discovered the fire, stated
that when he told her of the fire she made no answer.
Several of the people ia the house said they were
afraid of the prisoner. The prisoner said she was inno-
cent of the crime laid to her charge ; she was a respec-
tably-connected person of good character ; she had
been employed in going with families from England to
India and back ; she also said that a cabman had been
in the house shortly before the alarm of fire was given•
This last statement was denied by ell the witnesses.
The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday, to heel'
the depositions read, and to be committed for trial on
the charge of arson.

FRAGMENTS OF THE LETTER.

Ist. " In place of these (the orthodox Clergy) are
brought forward and encouraged, and even entrusted
with employments, young priests of frivolous habits,
whose conduct gives every reason to suspect them of
impiety, not to say altogether of despising the ancient
usages, having been instructed in those dangerous
schools which arc condemned by all honest and right-
thinking lonians, and
,under professors, not only op-
posed in opinion, but even open enemies of the salutary
Christian doctrines."

2. " It is the duty of true and legitimate Bishops in
defence and'protection of their holy right, not only not
to cease from their endeavours in preventing such a state
of things, but to suffer misery and contempt, and, if
necessary, persecution, imprisonment, banishment, nay
even to endure much worse sufferings, after the manner
of those martyrs of old who preferred to suffer the
most cruel tortures, that they might boldly stand by
the commands of God, rather than obey the will of
men: 7:Ei9xF/ELV ya„-; r, ay9Forotc."
3. " Almost all the young priests who come out of
the suspicious colleges, lead a dissolute life, having im-
bibed the false notions of a sectarian education."

- -
(EXTRACTS FROM THE PAMPHLET.)
I. " Certainly an attempt appears to be made in this
most unfortunate age, we know not why, against the
holy Church of Christ, by the government of the lonian
Islands, which, ignorant as it seems, or forgetful of its
province, and therefore overstepping the limits of its
authority, laid down by our fathers and the Heavenly
Bridegroom [N;;f4r,c] of the Church, enters within
those of our worship and our Church, and wishes in-
sidiously to introduce in the lonian Islands Luthero-
Calvinistical innovations."
2. " How beautiful, how wonderful an independence !
How happy the people who are thought worthy of such
felicity! How blessed the Legislature which can, by
the mere passing of a law, overturn all things eccle-
siastical and spiritual, and introduce at its own selec-
tion, without regard to laws and ordinances, whatever
best suits to the passions, the objects, and the wishes of
those in power."
3. " They have arranged to make law whatever the
passions, the objects, the interests, and the fancies of
those in power required."
4. " The whole of the spiritual power and authority
devolves upon the Senate, and consequently on the
Lord High Commissioner pro tempore, who turns and
guides the Senate according to his objects and will."
Such are the extracts which have claimed our atten-
tion, and which we think it our duty to bring before the
attention of the Sublime Porte.

1 the Patriarch, and naming his successor.]

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—YEszEnnAT.
The betting this afternoon was confined to the Derby, and
was the reverse of heavy. Launcelot was steady at Monday's
quotation, but was not in much demand; the Melody colt, on
the other hand, was supported with great spirit at 7 to 1, 13
to 2, awl 6 to 1, until near the end, when the last-mentioned
odds were offered currently, and one or two hedging bets laid at
a small advance. Assassin and Thecn were not without
friends, the latter, we should say, being backed for the most
money ; we saw 900 to 100 taken three times. Pathfinder,
Muley Ishmael, and Monops were talked of, but did not vary
from the odds quoted on last " market day." 13 to 1, in hun-
dreds, was taken three or four times about Lord Exeter's lot,
and 20 to 1 to 2001. or 300/. about the Lucetta colt singly.
Black Bess and Gambia were out of favour. Cormorant had
some backers at 40 to 1,-and four or five scores, at 50 to 1, were
added to the large amount already ventured on Bokhara, at half
the odds ; offers to back the lot (Sir G. Heatheo'e's) at 40 to
1. The Oaks as before. A dullish afternoon closed as
follows :
