Empowered by Act of Parliament.
One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five 'preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining foar-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May,
1840, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the
annual premiums of all those policies entitled to participation.
Policies effected before the Second Wednesday in May will
entitle the holders to participate in the profits twelve months
earlier than those effected at a subsequent period.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society :

THE TOILET of BEAUTY furnishes in-
numerable proofs of the high estimation in which
GOWLAND'S LOTION is held by the most distinguished
possessors of brilliant complexions. This elegant preparation
comprehends the preservation of the complexion, both from
the effects of cutaneous malady and the operation of variable
temperature, refreshing its delicacy, and sustaining the brightest
tints with which beauty is adorned.

On Monday evening the boy Edward Jones, who, about
aree months ago, found his way into Buckingham
Palace, and bad the satisfaction of inspecting the
Queen's apartments and hearing the Princess Royal
" cry," paid another visit to the Palace, but,
luckily for the peace of its inmates, be was soon
discovered, and taken into custody. He hid effected an
entrance unobserved by the guards and police stationed in
.the Palace and its vicinity; but before he bad time to in.
trudc far, his progress was arrested by a sergoant of police.
Ho was instantly conveyed to the station-house, where he
remained all night, and to-day was brought to Bow-street
by two Inspectors of the A division. Mr. Hall, the chief
Magistrate of that Court, having communication with the
Home-office, ordered the prisoner to be taken there,
where the charge will be gone into, as on the late occa-
sion. The prisoner only came out of Tothill-fields House
of Correction this day fortnight, and it was supposed
from the punishment he had undergone that he would
not repeat his offence. His father says that offers have
lately been made to him on the pact of the Government,
and that they have proposed to place him in a ship of war,
to keep him out of trouble; and afterwards to get him
some situation in the colonies. This, however, his mother
disapproved of, stating she did not like the idea of her
" son being borne away from her." The boy himself, it
appears, exhibited no unwillingness to leave the country,
but he did not appear to have any wish to commence any
active employment.

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on Indian risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables,
exclusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true
risk of life during residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service.

COMMITMENT OF JONES.
It appears from different accoun►s which we have re.
ulved, that about one o'clock yesterday morning, Police.
Sergeant Glover, 3 A., being on duty in the interior o
the Palace, heard a noise in one of the lobbys leading
lion► the Gra•id Staircase -to the Picture Gallery, and
proceeding thither he found the piisoner crouched in a
recess, and without his shoes. The constable knew him
directly, and said " What, Jones, is that you?" and the
lad replied, " Yes, it's me." The policeman asked him
how he got into the Palace, and he answered " The same
way as before." He was asked how long he had been
there, and Isis reply was, " All day." That, however, was
soon proved to be fal.e, for upon tie constable examining
his shoes he found them quite wet with mud. The Police-
Sergeant then took him to the station-house of the A di-
vitim in Gardiner's-lane, scarcely one of the inmates of
the Palace knowing anything of the matter.
Inspector Hickman was on duty at the statien-house,
and entered the charge rgainst the prisoner upon the
charge-sheet as that of ha►ing been found concealed in
Buckingham Palace for an unlawful pu-Rose. The pri-
soner, who was not at all inclined to be communicative,
was then locked up in a cell by himself.
Yesterday, about one o'clock, he was taken to the Home-
office, and about half-past on© o'clock, the Hon. Mr.
Murray, the Comptroller of her Maje,ty's Household, ar-
rived, and was soon folios. ed by Mr. Hall, the Chief Ma-
gistrate, and Mr. Barnaby, the chief clerk at Bow-street.
The investigation then commenced. The Hon. Mr. Fox
Maule and Mr. Philips, the Under secretary of State,
successively making their apeesranr e. At half-past three
o'clock, the boy Jones, and the officers in charge of him,
came from the room in which the examination had taken
place, and took their scats in a waiting-room on the ground
floor. In a few minutes, Mr. Hall lefi, the Home-office,
and, as we understane, proceeded to the Treasury, to ob-
tain an interview with the Marquis of Normanby. He re-
turned in a short time, and after a long discussion, at which
the lad was not present, he was ordered up, and we are
given to understand tentonced to three months' imprison-
ment and hard labour in the New Bridewell, Tuthill-fields,
and to this place he was taken shortly afterwards by In-
spector Russell and &IT,. ant Glover. •
The lad is the son of a poor tailor living in Bell-yard,
York-street, and who works in a bulk head ia Derby-
street, Parliament-street. Ho first visited Buckingham
Palace in December, 1837, and was in the act of making
his escape from thence with some articles of clothing and
a sword, when he was captured. He was examined at
Queen-square police-court before Mr. White, who com-
mitted him to take his trial at Westminster Sessions, when,
after a ludicrous examination, he was discharged. In
December last he was again found at the Palace, examined
at the Home-office, and sentenced to three months' im-
p) iionment in Tothill-fields Bridewel!, and he only came
out of that prison yesterday inornieg fortnight. Be has
lived with his parents since, and did not leave them on
Monday right until be had had his supper. It is gene-
rally suppoml that he get cyer the wall in Constituti,m-
hill into the gardens, ar.d trout thence made lii way into
I,c Palace, but through what entrance is not known, as
there were co marks visible, nor traces of footsteps.

found the ship full of smoke below, called all down,tand got off
the hatches. The lightning had gone down the chain scuttle,

four bottles of turpentine in the case, but we were fortunate
enough to put the fire out before it had tow:hed them.
