ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS.

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO-
CIETY, 1, King William-street, London.
Est2blished 1834.
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 four-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.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society :

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 estensive data and tables,
exclusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true
risk of life during residence in India, and after retirement freni
foreign service.

THE LATE COURT-MARTIAL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Notvithstunding the many letters that you
have received rcspectinv the case of that noble-minded,
gallant, but injured officer, Captain Reynolds, I can-
not allow the present opportunity to pass without re-
cording my opinion of this transaction through the me-
dium of your valuable Journal. ,

I find that a subscription is proposed to be made to
reimburse Captain Reynolds for the loss that he has
sustained by the verdict of the late Court-partial at
Brighton. I know no method that would show the
feeling of the public in this affair more fully than by
raising a sum of money tantamount to the value of
the commission that he has been sa unjustly deprived
of. It is one thing for men in power to allow them-
selves to be carried away by high notions of their rank
and wealth, and it is another thing to allow the same
to operate to the injury of others. Now all those per-
sons who have watched the proceedings in the affair of
Captain Reynolds, must bring their minds to the con-
viction that he has I),?en most unfairly and tyrannically
treated by the Earl of Cardigan.
I should like to know where we are to find gentle-
men at all disposed to enter the army if the irritability,
caprice, and imperious minds of commanding officers, is
to be allowed to render the commission of an officer
insecure.

1 hope, ere long, that a meeting will take place at
one of our principal taverns in favour of that ornament
of the British army, Captain 13eynold3. I for one
would most willingly attend and subscribe my mite in
such a cause, and I know many others who would do

the same thing.
The public must feel much indebted to you for the
readiness that you have manifested to make known the
prevailing opinion in this transaction.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,

POISONING CHILDREN AT

STOCKPORT,

On Wednesday last, we noticed the examinations of
several witnesses before a Coroner's Jury at Stockport,
in reference to the death of Mary Ann Sandys, a child
aged four years and five menths, who died under very
suspicious circumstances. The inquest was adjourned
from Wednesday the 14th, to Saturday the 17th in-
stant, when the Coroner stated that circumstances had,
in the interim come to light, tending to show that the
mother of the child was guilty of poisoning, not only
Mary Ann, but another of her children (Elizabeth, an
intent of six months), who died on the -23 d ult. ; and
the body having been disinterred, arsenic was detected
;a its stomach, as well as in that of the child Mary
Ann. At first a woman, named Bridget Riley, had
been suspected of poisoning the elder child ; but she
was subsequently set at liberty, and Robert and Ann
Sandys, the parents of the decased children, were taken
into custody on the 17th instant, and the inquest
adjourned to yesterday to give opportunity for
further inquiries. Since then circumstances have
transpired which tend to deepen the horror
of this most extraordinary case. Suspicions have also
attached to George and Honor Sandys, the brother and
sister-in-law of Robert Sandys, that they have also
caused the death of a child of theirs, named Catherine
Sandy's, by administering' po son to it. It will be seen
from the evidence that the brothers lived in adjoining
cellars ; that they had both enrolled the names of their
children in burial clubs ; and that, shortly after, the re.
latives of the children become entit;ed to funeral money
in case of their death. The three children, whose names
we have given, had died under circumstances tending to
excite great suspicion as to the cause of death. The
parents, in each case, received 3/. Bs. (id. burial money.
The inquest was resumed yesterday, when, after a
long investigation, it was adjourned at ten o'clock in the
evening till ten o'clock next morning.
Robert Sandys, and Ann his wife, remain in custody
an suspicion of having poisoned their children, Elizabeth
and Mary Ann. George Sandys, and Honor his wife,
also recpain in custody, on suspicion of having poisoned
their efild, Catherine, who died on the 17th July last,

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
Notwithstanding the continued uncertainty in the
foreign relations of the country, and the consequent
pressure upon the money market, there was a better
feeling in our market yesterday than at any time during
the preceding week, and considerably more business
was done, but without any improvement in prices, either
of yarn or goods, with the exception of very good 27-
inch printin4 cloth; which was in good demand, in con-
sequence of the arrival, by the Great Western, of some
orders from America. We are glad to learn, by the
accounts from all quarters of the United States, that
business there is steadily and progressively improving,
and that a fair amount of orders for manufactured goods
may be shortly expected from thence.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY. OCTO-
BER 26.—T0-day we have bad not so brisk a de-
mand for flannels, and the market has worn a more
sombre appearance. In prices there is no change. Wool
remains firm at last week's prices, but not much doing.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, OCT. 27.—This was a
comparatively dull market in all descriptions of stock,
an unfavourable reaction having taken place, doubtless
arising from the state of the money market, and the
unsettled political aspect of Europc. Business in the
warehouses begins to slacken, and the prospect for winter
is more gloomy. The demand was chiefly for heavy
woollens. Prices, however, remain much the same.

The whole of that beautiful range of sycamore
and chesnut trees that ornament Kensington-gardens had
a narrow escape of being destroyed by fire on Wednesday
night. The kitchen gardener of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex inhabits a small cottage under the trees
near the lodge at the Bayswater gate. About eight o'clock
the chimney was discovered to be on fire ; a large body of
dame ascended several yards, and had reached the dry
leaves of a lofty tree that spreads its majestic branches over
it, when a gentleman who resides opposite, Mr. James
Woodhouse, having failed to arouse the inmates, scaled
the twelve foot wall, and with the assistance of Mr. Simla.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—ln your paper of yesterday I observe that a
Correspondent, signing himself " Camillus," has dis-
puted your assertion that the result of the recent Court-
martial is universally regarded by the army with feel-
ings of pain and surprise. The statement in question
must not be suffered to pass unnoticed. It would im-
ply that the officers of the British army do not partake
of that horror of oppression which so honourably cha-
racterises their countrymen. It might mislead some
into the belief that the army have so far lost the spirit
of freemen as to witness and bear unmoved that system
of tyranny, at the mere mention of which, the just in-
dignation of the country is aroused. A moment's re-
flection must satisfy your readers that " Camillus' is in
error. Military discipline may do much, but it cannot
subdue the mind. Although soldiers, we are still men,
and, as such, we feel deeply indebted to our fellow-
subjects for the warm interest with which they have
espoused the cause of

The Government has just purthaaed a country house,
with the land belonging to it, in the vicinity of Lacken,
with the Intention of adding it to the domains of the Royal
Palace. It seems that the Government intends to make
great additions to the importance of that Royal residence,

PastA, Nov. 20 —The Ottoman State Gazette of Ilse.
23d of !lament! (the IBth of November) contains the
following artielei--" When on Sunday (the 15th of No-
vember), in the assetribly at the Muftis, the standard (from
Acre) sent them by his M4jeOty the Sultan, was eXhieited
for the general inspection of the of.ll;ers and servants, it
appeared that above the words " There is no God bat
God, and Slahornct is his Prophet," the tcorOft " The '
Lion of " were ihsCribed ; hence it is clear that.
Mehemet Ali Pacha places the KitillA Ali (on whom may
God graciously turn his countenance) ahtefai the per-
son of the Prophet, or that the Pacha attributes
to himself the qualities snd conduct of Ali. Both
are very useful, and it is tssident that Mehemet
Aii ['ache, and his son Ibrahim Pacha, h± in fact already
received, and will fUrther receive their rewaftll for such
presumption. After the 7llleesbers of the Assernblj Kati
blessed his Majesty, the Sultan, rsish their prayers acid
wishes, it was resolved, according to his .Nlajesty'i will,
that the standard should be exposed to the viv sa all the
inhabitants of tae capital from one of the windows ei 'fie
sepulchre of the late Sultan (new in Paradise thereby to
give new, ~c.ms on for the continued prsyers for the pro-
lun=ation of the life of the Sultan, and the atig,/rosintation

A “ GETTING UP STAIRS."

(From the Gazette des Tribunaux.)
Of all extraordinary whims which ever entered the

4(10 Man in general, and of landlordain particular,
tbeltinet extraordinary, perhaps, is that the results of
which brought M. Lassus, and Mademoiselle Lamorte,
a cook, before the Correctional Police.

The mistress of the latter personage, occupying the
fourth story in M. Lassus' mansion, had conceived
the idea (by no means uncommon) of giving a
party. Accordingly, the upholsterer was ordered
to send rout benches, drapery, card-tables, &c., all
of which were safely deposited, on arrival, in the
hall, previous to their being transported to their
ultimate destination on the fourth story. The
thing was simple enough in itself, but not so in the
mind of M. Lassus, who entertains a particular ob-
jection to his tenants giving dances. Meanwhile, in
obedience to her mistress's orders, Mlle. Lambert sum-
moned a couple of porters to assist her in conveying
the dancing paraphernalia up stairs. and had already
laid hands on a packet of drapery, while one of the
porters had seized a table and the other a bench,
when their proceedings were suddenly interrupted
on finding the passage blocked up by the terrible
person of M. Lassus. A parley ensued between the
parties, but to no purpose, M. Lassus remained in-
flexible. Whereupon the Commissary of Police was
called in, whose interference, however, was ineffectual
n diverting M. Lassus from his obstinate position.
It was, therefore, resolved to execute the manoeuvre by
violence. The engagement was preceded on both sides,
by a volley of abuse, on which M. Lassus proceeded to
violence on the person of Mlle. Lamorte, who was borne
off from the scene of action, in a state of insensibility.
Mlle. Lamorte brought a complaint against M. Lassus
who, on his side, brought a complaint against her, al-
leging that he had been beaten both by the cook and
the two porters. Witnesses for plaintiff and defendant
were cited, justifying, of course, their reciprocal parties.
Amidst this entangled opposition of evidence, the truth
appeared from the vroccs verbal, drawn up by the com-
missary, and which stated that Madlle. Lamorte bore
evident marks of the ill-usage she had undergone. On
the other h Ind, it is true, M. Lassus presented .a
medical certificate in support of his statement,
wherein, however, was perceived a slight contradiction,
for the medical gentleman alleges having treated
his patient for a contusion in the leg, while the
plaintiff declares he has received a violent box
on the ear from the cook. The Tribunal acquitted
Mademoiselle Lamorte of the charge brought against
her, while M. Lassus was fined 500 f. penalty, and con-
demned to 500 f. damages.

SPAIN.

MADRID, OCT. 7.—Until some more fitting memorial
of the revolution of the Ist of September can be rea-
lized, the Junta has ordered this inscription—" Liberty :
National Independence • Ist Sept., 1840"—to be placed
over the entrance of the Town-hall, in testimony of the
part taken in the events of that day by the Corporation
of Madrid.

The official communications of the Junta are—one
. from the Junta of Alicante, announcing the arrest of
M. Sotelo, ex-Minister, in that city ; one from the
Junta of Seville, stating that two hundred thousand
reels were then at their disposal, for the use of the army •
another from Corunna to the same effect, and offerine,
similar sum ; and a third from the Junta of Zamora,
acquainting them that the sum of sixty thousand reels
might be immediately drawn for.
In Cadiz some tendency to disturbance had been
manifested, in consequence of the suppression of the
guarda-costa contract of Messrs. Llano, Ors, and Co.,
which bad also been declared null by the Juntas of
province have terminated in fixing the
Malaga, Seville, and Granada. In Galicia, the dis-
putes about the loeality of the principal Junta of the
however, to.
Our most impertant provincial intelli
for the principality
day, comes fiorn Catalonia. There,
!I.l.lenet,a in Santiago.
a central Junta
has been constituted in Barcelona.
The Conde de Peraeamps (Van Helen) has been ap-
pointed President. The manner in which this Junta
has been installed—being named by Commissioners from
the sob•provinees of the principality, and each indivi-
dual solemnly sworn at the first meeting-renders the or-
ganization of this body serious and irnportant.
Conjecture continues at its height here with respect
to the probable result of the mission of the Duke ar.d
the Ministers to Valencia. Those who doubt about
Ministers end the Duke persevering in the programme
settled here before they started, would seem to forget
this important fact, that if the Duke aad Ministers do
not carry their measures through, they themselves would
be the first victims of their failure. Things are now
gone too far to retrograde. The interests concerned
ire too many and too great to give room for vacillation.
The refusal of the Regent %out(' be the signal for the
country falling back upon a central Junta, which has
been so frequently threatened during the progress of
the present movement.
