The advantages offered to the publie by the above Offices
are such as result from a course of uninterrupted prosperity,
the fruits of a prudent and economical management for a pe-
riod of thirty-five years.
At the present time so many establishments exist, vicing
with each other in the profession of benefits to the public.
which numerous failures, and consequent ruin to thousands of
industrious families have proved to be fallacious, that the Di-
rectors think they will best discharge their duty to the Proprie-
tors and to the Public by a simple statement of the advantages
which have been realised by these Offiees.
The COUNTY FIRE OFFICE has not only settled all
claims with promptitude ind liberality, but has, foes its first
establishment, made large Returns to the Insured.—These
amount at the present time to 125,0001.
The PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE has at each septen-
nial period divided the whole of the profits, subject to a deduc-
tion of about a twentieth part only, among the insured. The
benefits actually secured to lives insured in this Office, may be
judged of by the following Table.

A discuSsion was opened in 4iii morning on the proper
, way of pronouncing the naine of Lord Palmerston's
favourite for the Cesarcwiteh; ' Iliona." Her noble
owner contends that it should be " Ili-51-ni. ;" and three
or four noblemen and gentlemen, considering his Lord.
ship a good classical authority, backed bis opinion freely.
The opposing'party insist that it should be " I'i-6-na,"
and weroso copliilent, that after they had exhausted the
market at evenol.Tand 3 to 1 were laid freely. Walker's
Classical DietitmirY, and a Greek Lexicon, were then
referred to, ailaii: roved favourable to the " o short"
party ; one of .1-. • a Noble Lord, in consequence, laid
5 to 1 in hund -ts ' nd would have " gone on" at the'

to the gentlemen who have backed the " short" view of

sisted in saying that he should not get down, and im-
mediately drove ofil On arriving at the corner of co _
ventry-street he saw a police-constable, and called upon
him to interfere, but as no notice was taken of his request,
lie supposed he was not heard. The defendant still refused
to let bun get down, and drove on to the City, and on
arriving at the top of Ludgate-hill, witness saw a police-
man, to whom he related the whole of the facts, and all
Parties then went to the station-house.
, City Pulice.constable 365 confirmed the latter part of
the complainant's statement.
In answer to the charge the defendant stated, that in
consequence of the complainant's refusing to pay him a
shilling, the amount of his fare, and also refusing to give
his card, he certainly did drive him further than Bond-
street„but his object in doing so was to seek the assist-
ance of a policeman, in order to obtain the complainant's
address. The complainant had no occasion to have gone
further than the corner of Coventry-street, but might
have alighted there if he had thought proper.
Mr. JARDINE said the defendant had no right what- •
ever to take the complainant a step beyond the place
*here he desired to be set down.
The defendant—l detained the gentleman in order to
• procure his proper fare. He (complainant) was intoxt-
eatod-at- tit° timei'undAiMMot-know_ what he was aboet.
The police constable stated, that the complainant ap-
peared to be perfectly sober at the time, and gave pre-
cisely the same version of the affair when he was at the
station-house. • -
Mr. JARDINE said the defendant had committed a most
°Toss assault upon the complainant, and that without the
slightest jtistitication. He had no business whatever to
make a prisoner of the complainant, which it was clear he
had done, or convey him .one step beyond the spot he
had desired to be set down at. If the complainant had
refused to pay his proper fare, legal means should have
been resorted to to'obtain it. The public must be pro-
tected against such outrages. He should therefore order
the defendant to pay a fine of 405., or in default be com-
mitted to the House of Correction fur 14 days.
The defendant was locked up.

• -WORSHIP-STREET.
MISTAKEN IDENTlTY.—Elizabeth Garrahan, a very
neatly-dressed and good-looking Irish girl, who had been
twice-remanded on a charge of having stolen a quantity
-•of plate and other property from the dwelling-house of a
lady named Davis,. in Old-street-road, was finally placed
at the :bar,- before- Mr. Bingham.
The only evidence in support of the charge was ad-.
duced by Sarah Newman, the prosecutrix's servant, a
girl fourteen years of age, who stated that the prisoner
came to her mistress's' house on pretence of inquiring
after a situation, and,. being left alone, carried off con-
siderable property. She met- the prisoner in the street
some days afterwards and gave her into custody.
The prisoner emphatically asserted her innocence, and
implored the Magistrate not to allow her former iniscon-
duct to operate against her, as she had pledged the pro-
perty to preserve her from perishing for want. (It ap-
peared she had • pledged some property of the person
with whom she lodged.) ()um. ed.) She had endear Ito pro-
curets
a subsistence by working at her needle, but was Un-
able to obtain employment, and she had Out a friend 'in
the world to whom site could turn for assistance or
sympathy.
The gAGISTFcATE expressed his reluctance. to commit
the priooner- for trial on the unsupported testimony of so
y,eung.a witness, and he remanded her for a week, in
orsler that further inquiries might be made respecting her.
The prosecutrix was now in attendance with the wit-
ness, Sarah.,Newinan, and the latter remained unshalie.i
is her belief that the prisoner was the culprit.
BINGHAM said that the case strongly illustrated
the necessity of extreme caution being exercised in
giving evidence as,to identity. He had caused inquit:es
to be made, and ascertained, that on the thy of the rob-
bery the prisoner was in. confinement at the House of
Correction, her term of imprisonment for il!egally
pledging her landlord's property not having then ex -
pirbd. He should now discharge her, and he recom-
mended the prosecutrix to make her some compensation
for the foriaight's imprisonment she had undeset Jed ly
suffered.

The prOSecutrix acceded to the Magisteate's wish,. and
preseated'a sovereign to the prisoner, to which the Ma-
g:sifate added ss. ; and the poor girl expressed herself
sincerely thankfalfor the money.

THAMES-OFFICE.
Yesterday a party of emigrants, eleven in number
'rom Stroud, in Gloucestershire, waited on Mr. I3allan-
The, to complain of the conduct of the people connected
with the ship Himalaya, Henry Burn commander, then
on her way down the river to Port Philip and Sydney.
It appeared, from the statement of the emigrants, that
their passage was engaged on board the Himalaya, and
they went into the St. Katharine's Dock about 11 o'clock,
as the ship was about to get under way, and were told
they could not come on board then, and must wait a
little while, although there was no reason why they
should not have gone on board at once. Soon after-
wards the ship began to haul out of the dock, but no
notice was taken of them, nor were they allowed to enter
the ship. They then went round to the lock entrance to
meet the ship as it was coming out, and upon the swivel-
bridge being opened, the vessel remained in the lock some
time, close alongside the quay, and they could easily have
stepped on board. and were preparing to do so, when
they were forced back by the Captain and others, who
used the most gross language towards them, and declared
they should not come on board until the ship reached
Gravesend. A married woman with herchild was, however,
assisted on board by a relative, and had no sooner got
upon deck than she was rudely assailed, and a man laid
hold of her, dragged her along with brutal violence, and
forced her outside the ship. She stood upon the rail and
clung to the rigging, screaming violently, while the fel-
lows upon deck,- unmindful of her perilous situation, en-
deavoured to shove her back upon the pier, and one man
held up her child with the intention of throwing it to the
people on the quay, who hissed, hooted, groaned, and
called out " Shame, shame 1" A scene of the greatest
confusion ensued, in the midst of which the ship made a
sheer off, rendering the situation of the woman still more
perilous. The Captain then called out, " Let her stop,
I'll serve them out for it," and she was dragged upon
deck and pushed about in a most brutal manner. Tho
applicants could not succeed in reaching the vessel, and
after meeting with a good deal of abuse wore told to join
the Himalaya at Gravesend. They had, however, no
means of reaching that place, or sufficient to purchase a
meal, and they humbly implored the Magistrate to assist
them, and to interfere in their behalf, so as to secure
them from ill-treatment during the voyage, which they
were fearful might be exorcised towards them after the
threats made use of by the persons in authority on board
the Himalaya.
Mr. BALLANTINE directed Blaby, the chief usher of
the Court, to take charge of the emigrants, to see them
on board a Gravesend steamer, and pay their passage,
give them a dinner, and present to each of tham Gd. to
pay a boatman to convey them from the steamer, on her
arrival at Gravesend, to the Himalaya, 110 also di-
rected Blaby to wait upon the agents, and inform them
of what had occurred. He expected that no harshness
would be exhibited towards any of the emigrants in
consequence of this complaint.
'The applicants, consisting chiefly of young men and
women, expressed their gratitude to the worthy and hu-
mane Magistrate in a way not to be misunderstood, and
left the Court with the officer.
The brutality exercised towards the female who nearly
lost her life was witnessed by 150 people on the quay
and the police. The dock-men and others joined in loud
expressions of indignation.

DREADFUL SUICIDE 1N SCOT-
LAND.
We have just heard of a melancholy event which hap-
pened at Whitehaugh, in Aberdeensh►re, on Friday last,
Colonel Forbes Leith hiving terminated his iiro with a
loaded pistol in his drawing-room, in presence of his wife.
Domestic unhappiness is reported in that part of the
country as being the cause of this dreadful catastrophe.
The Colonel had returned from India and settled on his
paternal estate about twenty years ago, soon after which
he married, and has now loft a widow and several chil-
dren, As the form of a Coroner's Inquest is unknown in
Scotland, there is no investigation, we believe, by any
public authority there on the occurrence of events such
as the appalling one which we have mentioned,
