NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU-
RANCE SOCIETY.
. OFFICE, 26, CORNIIILL, 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
officers of those Institutions, and tho 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 might he successfuffy en-
gaged, a Committee has been sanctioned by the Directors to open
communication with the different Societies, with the view of more
effectually d sseminating the valuable bandits 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 laws of mortality and
money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal-
culations regulatiug their diribution, 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 luvestment,
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
pecuniary sacrifice ; while 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 Bay,
Instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more
contingent or deferred 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 sell.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-
ness-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 through a succession of years,
and where results are to bear out calculations, money investment
being In general beyond the experience of the industrious 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-
and more exposed to a failure in the performance of
such a contract, that when undertaken on the same principles that
ordinarily govern commercial kodie,.
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 those and other evils ; and in this manner
to give an ad litional 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 anion .et the combinations 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 inanstrions classes, as the plan
proposed by the National Lonn 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 part of the plan itself, without being filly sa•isfied that the
convenience 'and safety of Friendly and lienefit 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 Friendly 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.

•The Deed of Settlement of this Company having been approved by
the Registrar, and the number of Shares prescribed by the Act having
been subscribed for, the Directors will proceed upon the Ist of May
next, ensuing, to issue Sea Policies under their Common Seal.
For the effectual protection of both shareholders and the assured,
the constitution of this Company is based on the principle of limit-
ing the amount entertained in and upo t individual vessels, or their
cargoes, in rateable proportion to the capital subscribed, and remain-
ing clear in hand aceording to a graduated scale, constructed with the
greatest care, thereby securing a wide and equalised distribution of
outstanding risks, to the entire exclusion of gambling profits, and
ruinous losses, from both sides of the account.
Under special clauses inserted in the Deed, no single Insurance,
for the space of twelve months, from the date of issuing the first
Policy, will exceed 5001. For the space of three years from the same
date the limit has been fixed at 1,0001.; and for the space of seven
years at 1,5001.,—a methosl of proceeding obviously calculated to
ensure a steady and remunerative business, and avoid the disastrous
results incidental to an opposite system.
A list of the Board of Directors, of the officers. of the Company,
and of the Agents appointed for the outports, will be given in the
Prospectuses, which will be published after the complete registration
of the Company has been legally effected.

STRANGE CASE OF MURDER IN

SPAIN.

The Court of Assizes of Saragossa was occupied a
short time since with the trial of Pedro Cardessa, the
proprietor of a small inn near Sos, in Navarre, Paula
Atiurillo, his wife, and Carmen Cardessa, their daughter,
for the murder of a man named Gregorio Orensauz, re•
siding in the valley of Anse, two leagues distant from the
residence of the prisoners. It appeared from the evi-
dence that the deceased had left home on the 22d of
September to collect money due to him by various per-
sons. Some days having passed over without hie re-
turning, his family became uneasy, and inquiries were
instituted. Nothing further was discovered than that he
had been seen to cutter the house of the pris3ners on the
day he left home. The male prisoner and his daughter
asserted that they knew nothing abut the proceedings
of the deceased, but the mother allowed that lie had
called at the house, but after a short stay had taken
his departure. Nothing coming
to light to crimi-
nate them, they were merely subjected to several
examinations without being taken into custody. Two
months after a human leg was discovered in the little
river Onsella, close to the prisoner's residence, end search
being instituted, the remaining parts of the body were
found except the head, which had been apparently cut
off with some heavy instrument like a cleaver. The
limbs were all dreadfully hacked and mutilated ; some
of the articles of clothing were recognised as having be-
longed to the deceased. Still nothing bad been disco-
vered to fix the crime on any party in particular, when
Paula Murillo being taken ill, amd considering herself
on the point of death, sent for the authorities and made
a confession to the following effect:—"The deceased had
called at her house on September 22, and had demanded
some money due to him fur wheat. Nut having it, she
desired him to wait until her husband returned. She
prepared breakfast for him at which he drank copiously,
and at last wanted to take liberties with her. On his
laying hands on her, she
pushed him so violently away
that he staggered back and fell with his head against
the corner of a chest of drawers. She,
being dread-
fully alarmed, went to raise him up and help him,
when she found that he was dead, without having
shed a drop of blood. Being afraid of the conse-
quences of such an accident,
she determined to con-
ceal the body, and wrapping it up in a coarse cloth,
she carried it down to tie cellar, and hid it under a
quantity of faggots. She left it there for several weeks,
when the heap of faggots beginning
to run low, she got
afraid of her husband discovering the whole matter, and
taking a cleaver she cut the body into pieces, and placing
the limbs in two baskets carefully covered over, she her.
self took one, and her daughter the other, to the bank
of the river. She then sent the young woman on an
errand to the neighbouring village, and during her ab-
sence emptied the baskets into the water. The daughter
was quite ignorant of what the baskets contained; in the
hurry of filling the baskets she had forgotten the head
in the cellar; she mutilated the features to prevent recog-
nition, and then buried it in a piece of waste ground."
This confession, becoming known, excited the greatest
commotion, and the woman soon after getting better, she,
her husband and the daughter were arrested. The au-
thorities having caused a very minute search to bo made
in the house where the prisouers had lived, found a num-
ber of French sf. pieces concealed, and those the daughter
admitted she had semi with her mother. It was proved
that precisely the same number of sf. pieces had been
paid on the morning of the murder to tho deceased by
another party. The mother, on the other hand, denied
that she knew anything about the money in question.
After a trial of great length, the Court acquitted the
father and daughter, but not believing that the deceased
had met with his death accidentally, found the mother
guilty of murder. The Court at once sentenced her to
death, and ordered the execution to take place in front
of the Town-ball of Sos. This sentence was carried
into;executien on the 21st ult.

PRICE SD.

STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL, LEEDS, APRIL 16.—We have no VS-
! riation to report in the foreign wool trade from our last.
The accounts from Austria and Prussia continue to ad-
. vise of large contracts being made for English and con-
tinental houses, at an advance of 2d. to 3d. per lb. on last
fair's prices. The Netherland manufacturers, and French
and Saxon combers have almost entirely cleared the
' German markets of useful wools.
ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, APRIL 16.—The demand for
eomhing and clothing wool this week has not varied; it
continues languid, and prices without any material al-
teration. Down combing wools are not plentiful, and
go off more freely than the deeper grown kinds.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, APRIL 15.—We are Still
without alteration in our trade; no doubt the late strin-
gent measures of the Bank of England have caused us
to have less doing than otherwise we might have had.
,Nrethers are flat, and the stocks of them at market be-
ing large, prides are barely maintained. In hogs, though
we have not a large demand, it is quite equal to the
supply, and stocks are decreasing, so that if our supply
- does not increase, which is not likely before clip, the
price of them must improve a little, or the consumption
be driven on wethers; the latter is more likely, as we
believe the spinners aro carrying on an unremunerative
business.
LEEDS.—We have had very quiet markets at the
,Cloth Halls on Saturday and Tuesday. There was
rather more done in fine goods, but in low qualities there
was considerably less sold than for some weeks past.
The advance of the rate of disehnt by the Bank of Eng
land has the effect of stopping speculation,.and induces
great caution on the part of the merchants. The cold
ness of the season causes the spring trade to be dull, and
few buyers having made their appearance in the town,
the business in the warehouses has been less than an
average as compared with the sales of the last few weeks.
BRADFORD, APRIL 15.—The demand for wool is slug-
gish. The spinners buy with great caution and for pre-
sent use, as they expect that, when the new clip comes
into the market, the article will be at an easier price.
There is a steady improvement in the yarn market, so
far as demand is concerned. but prices are still ou an un-
profitable scale. The Russian houses are busy, and are
exporting large quantities of yarn?. In the piece market
there was an average business done in dress goods.
Moreens and other heavy goods are dull of sale.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—We have had as gloomy
a week in our cloth and yarn markets as can well be
conceived. In the face of a continued advance on the
staple, no higher rates are submitted to. The impossi-
bility of discounting India bills added greatly to the dull •
ness, otherwise a large business would be done to the
East. The orders from America are considerable.

IMPROVEMENT in LOCOMOTION.
An invention has just been projected by Mr. E. Gallo-
way, which promises to supply a most serious deside-
ratum in the present construction of locomotive engines,
and to exercise a very important influence on the pro.
gress of locomotion generally. It has long been ac-
knowledged that one of the greatest difficulties with
which the railway steam-engine had to contend was that
of acquiring a bite upon the rails superior to that
supplied by gravitation. The amount of nipping or
biting power derived from that principle by the vertical
driving-a heel now in use has been found quite insuffi-
cient in foggy weather, when the rails are in a greasy
state from the moisture upon them, and upon inclines
with severe gradients. Under such circumstances the
driving-wheel slips and the engine makes little or no
progress. Mr. Galloway's invention is principally in-
tended to overcome this difficulty in working the present
locomotive engine, and from the experiments made the
other day, first with a working model at the western
gallery of Hungerford-market, and afterwards on the
Great Western Railway, at Maidenhead, there appears
to be very little doubt as to its complete success. The
invention consists in adding two driving-wheels, hori-
zontal or inclined, to the present locomotive; these
wheels acting on each side of a middle rail laid between
the ordinary rails, and being pressed simultaneously
against the opposite sides of the rail by means of ad-
justing screws acting upon springs with any required
degree of force. By such an arrangement it is manifest
that a bite or adhesion may be obtained far beyond
what is due to the weight of the engine, and that
thereby the difficulties may be obviated which at pre-
sent arise from greasy rails and heavy gradients. Mr.
Galloway contemplates the application of his invention
to engines as at present constructed with vertical
driving-wheels, and expresses his conviction that such a
combination will not he found inconsistent with high
velocity. In the meantime, however, he has, we think,
prudently confined himself to demonstrating the effi-
ciency of the horizontal driving-wheels, unaided by
vertical driving-wheels, in overcoming steep inclines.
At Ifungerford-market, the working model with hori-
zontal driving-wheels went with great ease up an in-
cline of I in 6, and the following statement, drawn up
by Mr. Gooch, locomotive superintendent of the Great
Western Railway, with reference to experiments made
on a previous d,y, apply equally to the results of those
made at Maidenhead:—

" The following is the result of the experiment I made
with Mr. Galloway's locomotive cegine, in which the
,hiving-wheels aro placed horizontally, and act against
the sides of a centre rail:—

Weight of engines
Ditto of load

33i
" This weight was taken at a slow speed up an in-
cline of 1 in 19, with a pressure on the boiler of 601 b.
on the inch, and calculating the power of tbo engine
and actual duty performed, we have as follows :--With
—With
steam at 601 b. in the boiler, the average effective pres-
sure in the pistons, after deducting back pressure, will
be about 501 b. on the inch, then the area of the two
cylinders 308 k 50=-.--15,4001b5., and double stroke of
piston equal 32 inches, and circumference of driving-
wheel 116 inches. Therefore, as 116 inches : 15,400: :
32 : 4,248 tractive power on the rim of the wheel. And
gravity per ton 1 in 19=1181b. Friction ditto 71b.
125 ..133.5 tons=4,lB7lb. Resistance overcome.
" Therefore, 4,248-4,187=611b., the total loss from
the friction of the working parts of the engine, which I
think is as small a loss as can be hoped for in any class
of engines. And from the facility of applying screws
to increase the weight on the driving-wheels to any re-
quired amount, there is no difficulty from slipping.
" DANIEL GOOCII.
"In explanation of the preceding, it is necessary to state
that the former diameter of the driving-wheels of the
experimental engine was eight feet, and the horizontal
ones are three feet. The tractive power of the engine
before alteration was about 1,6001 b. Tho increase of
tractive force, therefore, is as 4,1871 b. : 1,6001 b."
It is also only fair to explain that the experiment was
made with " Bacchus," the oldest engine in the com-
pany's possession, and long ago worn out and disused.
The leadidg advantages claimed by Mr. Galloway for
his invention are, that the adhesive power being inde-
pendent of gravity can be adjusted according to the gra-
dient or load, while the train is in motion ; that by. ap-
plying a brake at once to the middle rail, the train in
descending any gradient may be retarded independently
risk
of the wheels, and also the of collisions be avoided;
that sharp curves may be traversed almost as easily and
quite as safely as straight lines ; that punctuality on
railways will thereby be better secured, and the neces-
sity for tunnelling, heavy cuttings, and embankments to
a great degree obviated.
Whether all or any of these advantages will be se-
cured by Mr. Galloway's inventkn, it must remain for
a course of detailed practical experiments to decide;
but in the meantime the credit oi a very ingenious, a
very simple, and, to all appearances, a very practicable
contrivance, cannot be denied to him. The difficulties
which he claims to have overcome have for many years
occupied the attention and eluded the ingenuity of en-
gineers. Some time ago the notion of a centre rail and
a horizontal driving-wheel was projected by Mr. Vig-
nolles and Mr. Errixon, but as they only proposed ap-
plying it on the one side of the rail, they were unsuc-
cessful. Mechanical contrivances of a similar character
have since been attempted both in this country and
abroad, but they have always turned out to be failures,
and if Mr. Galloway's invention can be combined with
the present construction of the locomotive, so as to fulfil
his expectations in regard to it, the only wonder will be
how for upwards of 16 years so really simple an expe-
dient for obviating admitted difficulties could have es-
caped undiscovered. Mr. Galloway states, that he can
secure on the narrow gauge, horizontal or inclined,
driving wheeld of six feet diameter, and on the broad
gauge eight feet, so as to act in conjunction with tho ver-
ticle driving-wheels. lie states, too, that this is practi-
cable at a very moderate expense.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MAJOR A. M‘AnTriun.--On
Saturday afternoon information was received at the Coroner's
office of the sudden decease of Major A. M'Arthur, on the
Madras establishment of the East India Company's service,
which took place on Friday night, at his residence in the
Albany, Piccadilly. The deceased, on the previous evening,
appeared in his usual health, but not coming down at half-
past eleven on Saturday, his housekeeper went to call him,
and found him lying on the floor of his bed-chamber lifeless.
Dr. Pettigrew, of Saville-row, was sent for, and on his
arrival he found that the deceased had evidently been un-
dressing when he expired ; the bed had not been slept on,
and it was his opinion that life had been extinct many hours.
