DISEASED AND HEALTHY LIVES ASSURED.

MEDICAL, INVALID, and GENERAL LIFE
OFFICE, 25, PALL-MALL, LONDON, and 22, NASSAU-
STREET, DUBLIN.
Subscribed Capital, 500,0001.

This office WAS established in 1841, and possesses tables formed on
a scientific basis for the assurance of diseased lives. _ _ _

The urgent necessity for such an institution may be estimated by
the fact that two-thirds of the population are not assurable as
healthy lives, and that about one in five of the applicants to other
offices is declined on examination. . _

And that during the period of five years, as shown at the Annual
General Meeting of Proprietors in November last, upwards of 2,000
proposals had been made to the Society, covering Assurances to
above One Million.

It is the only Company possessing tabulated rates of premiam for
disease deduced frem extensive data.

Increased annuities are granted en Unsound Lives.
HEALTHY LIVES, both at Home and in Foreign Climates, are
Assured with as much facility and at lower rates than at most other
offices; and a capital of Half-a-Million sterling fully subscribe:.
affords a complete guarantee for the fulfilment of the Company's
engagements.

to transmit the same to Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths, Bankers,
London, or Samuel Smith and Co., Bankers, Nottingham, in the
names of the Treasurers, Messrs. George Coyne of Leeds, and

LONDON JOINT-STOCK BREWERY
COMPANY.

(Provisionally Registerod.)
Capital, 500,0007., in 25,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit, 2e. per
share, being the highest amount allowed by Act of Parliament
until complete registration, when a call of 11. per share will be
made.

The principal objects of this company are to surply a perfectly
pure and genuine malt liquor to the public, combined with such
moderate charges as must ensure a most extensive and profitable
business.

Our empire in India offers inducements of no ordinary character
for the establishment of an immense business of a highly lucrative
nature, independently of its moat probable permanency and com-
parative freedom from risk.
In South America, the West Indies, and several parts of the Eu-
ropean continent also, the malt liquors of this country are beginning
to be appreciated and sought after, and a profitable and extensive
trade may be confidently anticipated in those parts.
Arrangements are in progress, which, when completed, will ensure
an extensive and highly lucrative trade to the East and West Indies
and to Mouth America, thereby securing at once a handsome per
tentage to the shareholders. Arrangements are also in progress
which will secure an extensive home trade.

It is •ertain there is not in the market at the present time, nor
has there been for many years past, any investment likely to pro-
duce such beneficial results to those concerned in it as the present,
as, after a most careful and deliberate estimate, by talented and
competent persons, of all the outgoings, &c., it is proved to demon-
stratioa that the net annual dividend will not be less than 40 per
cent. on the capital.
Under these circumstances the promoters of this undertaking con-
fidently lay their plans before the public, and will be most happy to
give every information in their power, and, as soon as the Commit-
tee of Directors is formed, more detailed particulars will be pub-
lished. In the meantime all applications for shares or inquiries may
be made to Messrs. Chauntler and Westwood, 8, Gray's Inn-square ;
but no applications for shares will be attended to anises accompanied
by most respectable references.

THE POOR MAN'S SOUP, OR SOUP FOR THE

MILLION.
In this season of unexampled distress in Ireland, my
attention has been anxiously directed to effect an object
which appears to me to be of some importance, namely,
that of making a good nourishing soup at a very cheap
rate; and, if the opinion of numbers may be trusted, I
have the satisfaction to know that my efforts have been
successful, and that a wholesome and nutritious soup can
be made at an expense of about twopence for each
gallon, or one halfpenny per quart, even at the present
high prices of the article• of which it is composed. One
quart of this soup, with a slice of good household bread,
would form no despicable meal. This soup is of the sim
plest kind, and is so easily managed that a chili can pre-
p ire it—its ingredients are in common use, and of ac-
knowledged value as articles of food—it requires little
time and fuel, and is nearly as soon made as a pot of
potatoes is boiled, and keep perfectly good several
days, if required. I have used it myself—l have given
it to my children—we all like it. I have also dispensed
it to a number of persons, who have expressed their ap-
probation of it.

This soup would, in my opinion, add a comfort to the
cabin in ordinary seasons, even when the potato was
abundant; but the loss of this vegetable, and the conse-
quent scarcity, will, it I mistake not, materially enhance
its value. This soup is composed of Swedish turnips
(grated), barley ground whole with all the bran, pepper,
salt, and water.

Estimate of the expense of one gallon of the soup, and
the method of making it:-
2 lbs, grated turnip
lb. of barley meal, ground whole with the bran} °4cl'
Pepper and salt id.
4 quarts of water
—2d.
Add the grated turnip and meal to the cold water in
the pot over the fire, well mix the whole, stir occa-
sionally, and boil for about thirty minutes; a little roortk
tie bit may be necessary, if the turnip is of inferior gni
lity; season with salt and pepper; the turnip is nearly
as easily grated as cut into small pieces. Strong graters
made at• my suggestion can be had at Mr. Daniel's,
Grafton-street, and Mr. Maguire's, Dawson- street, for
sixpence each. One grater, if required, would answer
for two or three families. The turnip can be readily
grated by small children, and will keep good in this state
for a number of days. Mechanics in very remote or
poor districts could make their own graters. A sheet of
strong tin plate, sufficient for two graters, would cost
only threepence. It is, perhaps, scarcely necessary to
add, that the soup would be improved in flavour by onions
or shallot, &c., cut small, and that it would be rendered
more nutritious by bruised bones, a bit of meat, a little
fresh or salt fish, &c., but any such additions would of

CORONER'S INQUESTS ON Two WOOLWICH Cic
VlCTS.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Ordnance
Arms, Woolwich, before C. J. Carttar, Esq., on the bodies
of William Abbott, aged 27, convicted at Buckingham, in
July, 1843, and sentenced to fourteen years' transportation,
and William Wallington, aged 54, who was convicted at
Worcester in July, 1843, and sentenced to seven years'
transportation. The jury proceeded to view the bodies,
which lay in the dead-house in the Arsenal. After this they
went on board the Justitia convict hulk, and inspected the
food, testing both its quality and weight. They also asked
some of the prisoners whether they had any complaints to
make, and they replied in the negative. At the request of the
jury, the dietary table was produced, and read by the co-
roner, who remarked that it was superior to the dietary ta-
bles of any union he had seen. The table was as follows :
On Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, the allowance
was 14i ounces of beef, a pint of soup, 11b. of bread, 4 ounces
of biscuit, and 2 pinta of gruel. On Monday, Wednesday,
sad Friday ,4 °nixes of cheese and 1 pint of table ale were
snbstituted for the meat and'soup, the other articles remain-
ing the same. Then returned the inquest room, and the first
witness called was Mr. Bossey, the surgeon of the establish-
ment, who merely spoke to the identity of the deceased. The
Coroner then addressed Mr. Bossey, and said that he had
consulted with the jury, and without at all reflecting upon
him in the remotest degree, or being otherwise than satisfied
with the evidence he had given on former occasions, still
they wanted to place the matter so clearly before the public,
and to exculpate him, if possible, in the clearest and best
manner, that they had requested bins to make a post mortem
examination, in company with some medical gentleman whom
be (the Coroner) would send down. The examination would
be his (Mr. Bossey's) own, and, if necessary, the other me-
dical gentleman would be examined as to the medical treat-
ment.. What had transpired in public had created such ex-
citement that it was requisite to have the fullest investiga-
tion. Mr. Bossey said, that with reference to what had been
stated as to the treatment of the men in the House of Com-
mons, he could only say, that an inquiry was going on at
the present moment by the authorities, and he himself was
desirous that the very fullest and fairest inquiry should be
entered into, not only as regarded the past, but also the pre-
sent treatment of the prisoners. He believed that the more
the matter was searched into, the more unjustifiable the
charges would be fund. They had originated with a convict
on board the Juititia, and had found their way through some
channel to a place, where, had they been sifted, their false-
hood would have been at once detected. The inquiry was
then adjourned for the post mortem examination.
A letter from Ratisbon, 29th ult., states that the son
of the President of Cracow, the young Haller, made his
escape the preceding day from the prison of that town. It
will be remembered that he took part in the Polish insur-
rection, and was arrested in a Prussian diligence with several
thousand thalers in his possession, which were delivered up
to the Government. He had been allowed to take exercise
in the environs of the town, attended by one of the keepers,
and it was during one of these excursions that he got away.
It is announced that the railroad from Amiensnext
to Abbeville will be opened to the public on the let of
month.

PORTUGUESE BONDHOLDERS.
The following is a translation of a letter, dated the 30th
ult., addressed to the chairman of the committee of Portu-
guese bondholders by the Finance Minister of Portugal ir—
" Ministry of the Financial Department,
Jan. 30, 1847.
" Illustrious Senor,—The Government of her Most Faithful
Majesty having had under its consideration the provisions
contained in the fourth article of the decree of the 21st of
August, 1846, by which it was ordains I that the interest of
the external funded debt due in the financial year 1846-47
should be subjected to the deduction of two decimas, and
which has been represented as being incompatible with the
terms contained in the bonds on the loans contracted with
the external creditors; the Government have thought it
their bounden duty to propose to her Majesty the Queen
the revocation of the fourth article of the said decree; and
her Majesty, whose greatest solicitude is to maintain invio-
lable the conditions of the contracts referred to, and con-
sidering, moreover, the justice of the complkint made by the
foreign creditors against the imposition of two decimas on the
said interest, has been pleased to approve the above pro-
position of her Ministers, ordaining by a decree of yesterday's
date (a copy of which is enclosed) the revocation of the
fourth article aforesaid, and acknowledging the right of the
holders of the coupons due on the Ist inst., and paid with a
deduction of two decimas, to an indemnification correspond-
ing thereto, and to be reimbursed as opportunities offer, ac-
cording to e circumstances of the Treasury. Thus the re-
presentation which you addressed to her Majesty's Govern-
ment on the 20th of September last, in your capacity of
chairman to the Committee of. Pa 11,411e.83 Bondholders, you
will consider as being replied to, and I trust you will not
fail to give due credit to the justice and right intentions of
the said Government, who for many considerations fully ap-
preciate the services rendered by the foreign creditors to the
constitutional cause and to the throne of her Majesty Donna
Maria the Second. '

ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.
The anniversary dinner of the Royal Humane Society took
place last evening at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Right
Hon. Lord Lincoln occupied the chair.
The efforts made by the officers of the Humane Society in
rescuing the submerged from destruction continue to be most
satisfactory. The cases brought under the notice of the
Society during the past year amount to 179. Of this number
the report of the committee announce the successful treat-
ment of 174 persons, and the death of who were beyond
recovery. In effecting this great object the exertions of
many individuals have of necessity been called into action.
Fourteen honorary silver medals have been awarded for ex-
traordinary courage and risk of life, and thirty-one honorary
bronze medals for cases of less importance. The thanks of
the Society, inscribed on vellum, have been presented to
nine individuals, and three other persons have received
similar testimonials on paper. Sixty-two other claimants
have received pecuniary rewards.
From the report of the Society it appears. that during the
past year, the number of persons who bathed in the Serpen-
tine exceeded 350,000, 42 of whom were rescued from drown-
ing by the Society's boatmen. Sixteen individuals were
prevented from committing suicide by the watchfulness of
the boatmen during the daytime. Since the commencement
of the present skating season 79 persons have been immersed
in the water by the breaking of the ice, but were all saved
by the vigilant exertions of the Society's icemen, and only
one fatal accident has occurred, which, unfortunately, betel a
noble-minded youth who had plunged into the water in St.
James's Park to the rescue of two persons who were im-
mersed, and was himself drawn under the ice out of the
reach of assistance.--(Report )
Among the recipients of the medals were Mr. George
Clifford, a French sailor named Pierre Victor Trotel, Mr.
Edward P. Green (of Exeter College, Oxford), Mr. Mitchell,
Lieutenant Fisher, R.N. Captain Finch, R.N., Lieutenant
Newman, R.N. (of the Coast Guard), and John Wright (of
Brighton).

The subscriptions of the evening amounted to 8101.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 9.—This market continues very dull
and cheerless. There is exceedingly little demand for piece
goods of any description, and prices of shirtings and. print-
ing cloth are barely sustained. The yarn market is even
worse than that for goods. Prices are, in many cases lower
this week ; but the decline has had no influence on the
buyers, and scarcely any business is transacted. Under the
present circumstances of the market, it is not surprising to
find that the working of short time is now making progress
in quarters into which it had not previously penetrated. We
understand that the principal spinners and manufacturers at
Glossop have already commenced, and those of Stalybridge
have decided on taking the same course. We have no doubt
their example will be extensively followed in the adjoining
district.

ROCHDALE, FEB. B.—The Rannel market has undergone
no change since last Monday. The demand continues li-
mited, and prices much the same as last week's. Wool is
heavy of sale, at previous rates.
HALIFAX, FEB. 6.—There is little to notice this week, in
any department of business. In the piece hall everything
wears the same dull appearance; and the yarn trade remains
much the same, as to production, price, and remuneration
to the spinner. Not much wool, either long or short, is
changing hands; and if there be any alteration, it is in fa-
vour of the buyer.
VT

•HuDniciaursiw, Fan. 9.—Therein but little doing in
`troth Hall to-day; and the rise of cern at Mark-lane
terday, casts a damp upon our market. The orders for light
goods came in so late that much remains unexecuted, and
at present there has been no new patterns in dark goods.
which we have generally had at this period.
LEEDS, Fee. 9.—There has been a rather better business
doing to-day in our market than last month; and, if some
slight symptoms do not deceive, a brisker demand for low
woollen cloth is likely soon to ensue. Other descriptions of
woollen cloth, however, being totally neglected, the dulness
of our trade is but very partially relieved. Prices closed ra-
ther firmer.—Manchcster Guardian.

NAVAL IN TELLIGEN CE.
PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 10.—The Court-martial to try Com-
mander Cragg and the officers of the Sphynx is ordered to

`Vincent, has proceeded this afternoon, in the Echo steam-
vessel, to surrey, by order of the Admiralty, that part of the
Isle of Wight where the Sphynx is ashore, to ascertain the
extent of the reefs, &c.
Lieutenant Lionel R. Place (1842), late of the Amphion.
36, is appointed First Lieutenant of the President, 50, flag-
ship at the Cape.
The Electra, 14, Commander W. H. Maitland, was at Port
Royal on the 4th ult., expecting to go to Bermuda, where
the Captain was in hospital. At the above date, Lieutenant
J.M. Cooke was in command of her.

The Gipsy tender arrived this afternoon fiom Sheerness.
The Birkenhead steam troop-ship, Commander Ingram,
arrived this morning from the river, with the women, chil-
dren, baggage, &c., of the 56th Regiment. She came imme-
