DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

By the operation of the same princip'es, the Society is elabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con•
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of ferfe;ture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table Is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE•

The important merits of the Quarterly Journal
of Agriculture, and the Transactions of the Highland
and Agricultural Society of Scotland, will be best
described by an enumeration of its valuable contents.
The new number of this journal contains an article
"On the Use of Lime in Agriculture," by
Professor Johnston ; " Decisions in the Supreme
Courts connected with Rural Economy," " The
.Farmer's Note-book," containing a variety of sub-
jects of agricultural information; " Annual Agri-
cultural Report," Tables of the Revenue, Prices
of Grain, Foreign Markets," &c. The latter half
of the journal is devoted to an account of the trans-
actions of the Highland and Agricultural Society,
and contains a " Digest of Experiments with Special
Manures," " Report on lately introduced Coniferae;'
" Report on Plantations in the exposed District of
Buchan," and " Report of the Directors,on the ap-
pointment of a Chemist."

THE FREEMASONS' QUARTERLY

RETIEW.

This periodical is, of course, chiefly filled with
articles of Freemasonic interest. " With a joyous and
grateful satisfaction," it announces " the great stride
that Irish fraternity has made in advancing the mag-
nificent principles of the order." An article on " The
Solar Spots," poetry, and literary criticism, occupy
those pages of the Freemasons' Journal not devoted
to Freemasonry.

The Master of the bolls and the Vice-Chancellor
Knight Bruce did not sit to-day, in consequence of
having to attend the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council, and nothing of any interest occurred except to
the parties concerned in the Courts of the Vice• Chan-

THE SUN, LONDON,

victual members of the Convocation, in drawing up the
Articles they had wickedly departed from the universally
known opinions of the Church. Suppose Crenmer, or
any other individual member of the Convceation, had
held ht tredox opinions, it could not !se allowed that any
individual member had controlled the vt hole body of
convocation, any more than a single Member of Parlia-
ment could control the whole Legislature in paeans a
statute. Then, in the first Prayer-book of Edward IV. the
doctrine of spiritual regeneration was clearly expressed.
The Articles (41552 were precisely the same as those which
were originally published in 1536, and not one word that
" prevenient grace" was necessary was to he found in
them. Were they now to alter those Articles to accom-
modate a eeetion, and certainly not a majority of the
Church ? If such tampering was to be allowed, where
were they to stop ? When the last edition of the Prayer-
book was settled in 1661, the commissioners employed
in settling it bad full power given them to examine, revise,
and correct, without let or hindrance, the Articles, rubrics,
and formularies. What was the result? The Articles were
left unaltered, and the P. ayer-book was revised and
settled as they now found it. That wes the present
Prayer-b ok, which was then completely s-ttled and
finally ratified by an Act of Parliament. Whatever
opinions might hat e been entertained before that time
was now nothing to the purpose, because the whole
thing required a new forte and a new impulse, which
was given to it by the Act of Parliament of Charles 11.
Thenceforth the doctrine was so fully and clearly ex-
pressed that he who runs may read.
(The case was proceeding when our report left.)

see; that quite alters the cue. He's a regular smasher.
When a man's hungry, it is sometimes excusable if he
helps hirnnelf.

The officer said he bad as many as ten pots about him.
The COMMON- SEACIMANT—Oh, oh! Ah, ah ! that is
another affair; regular system here—no hungry man
this.—(Roars of laughter.) Is he known? Officer—
No, my Lord.
The COMMON-SERGEANT—It is a rule with me to
transport fellows who make a regular trade
,of thieving,
and have no other profession or calling; but there is one
favourable point in this case that induces me to break
through that rule—the pots were in the street, where
they ought not to have been. The sentence therefore
upon you is, that you be imprisoned and kept to hard
labour for six months.

James Thatcher, aged 52, described as a porter, was
convicted of stealing 451bs. weight of sugar, value 205.,
the property of Henry Hutton.
The police-officer who had him in charge informed the
Court that the prisoner had been 20 years in the employ
of Slaerwoods, the carriers, and had always borne an
excellent character. His wile, however, was a moat
profligate woman, and her conduct had latterly brought
him into trouble.

The prisoner himself said he committed the robbery
through distress, brought on by his wife's intemperance;
and under these circumstances he was only sentenced to
three months' imprisonment.

HANOVER.

In the sitting of the First Chamber on the 15th,
the resolution of the Second Chamber on the
Schleswig-Holstein question was on the order of the
day. The Minister, Count BENNIGSEN, declared that
conformably with the wishes of the Chamber the
Government had demanded information from the
Stadholdership, as to whether the letter published as
having been addressed by it to the KING of Denmark
was authentic. The Stadholdership had replied in
the affirmative.
The Government had also desired to be furnished
with the communications on the negotiation!, which
were refused, rs these negotiations were a profound
secret.

The Chamber then adopted the following motion :
—" 1 Irit the Government endeavour to obtain for
the Duchies that legal state which they enjoyed pre-
vious to the Danish ordinance of the 24th of March;
and that, in case of the partition of Schleswig, regard
would at least be had to the nationality of the northern
part."

Tins LATE ACCIDENT OFF TnE TYNE.—Her
Ma-
jesty the Queen has presented 100 guineas towards the
relief of the bereaved families of the unfortunate pilots
who were drowned at the mouth of the Tyne, in at •
tempting the rescue of a vessel wrecked on the Herd
Sands on the 4th inst. The corporation of Newcastle
have also forwarded 100 guineas, and the Master end
Brethren of the Trinity-house have subscribed the same
sum. With respect to the melancholy occurrence, it
may not be generally known that the life-boats of the
port of Newcastle, stationed at tie entrance of the Tyne,
in North and South Shields (the latter being the place
where the life boat was wrecked), have for about sixty
years been instrumental in saving the crews of vessels
unfortunately stranded at the entrance of the port, and
although no correct account has been kept of the exact
number so rescued from danger previous to the year
1841, the committee appointed to receive subscription;
have it in their power to state that since that period 466
persons have been brought safe on shore from 62
stranded vessels. Most of the pilots who perished on
the occasion in question were married men. In all 17
widows and 46 children have been left to lament their loss.

Greater advantages cannot be obtained from any Insurance Com-
pany or Society, than those possessed by the Members of the Scot-
tish Widows' Fund Life Society, as the following illustration may
show :—A party in his 29th year, in the month of January, 1816,
having then become a Member by Insurance on his life to the ex-
tent of 1,0001., has, up to the present tim,, contributed altogether
8531., exclusive of any interest; and the sum which would be paid
under the Policy In the event of his death taking place at any time in
the course of this yelr, is 1,9541. 3s. Bd. Were he to die between
Jan. 1850 and Jan. 1851, there would be paid £1,950 7 5
between Tan. 11451 and Jan. 1852 ....... • • 2 026 11 2
between Jan. 1852 and 31st Dec. 1532 ........ 2,062 14 11
To the Representatives of this Member, therefore, were he to die
in the year 1852, after payment of the Premium for that year,
there would be paid more than double the amount of the original
Insurance. Members have the option of allowing their Policies to go
on increasing annually, as above stated;
Or of surrendering the Bonuses for their present value in cash ;

Or to have au equivalent redaction in future Promiums ; and in
the case of 10 of the early Insurances, the Bonuies have for some
years back beon mere than equivalent to a total extinction of future
Premiums, so that, in reality, many Members are altogether freed
from payment of further Premiums, and yet h .ve increased an in-
creasing Policies. . _ .

Also, Loans aro granted to Members on the security of Policies
held by them In their own right, to the extent of nine-tenths of their
value.

The Sums Assured, with Additions, now amount to upwards of
7,r09,000/.

The Capital Accumulated and Invested now amoun's to upwards
of 2,070,0001., and the Annual Revenue to upwards of 300,0001.
And by last Annual Report, the deaths and relative claims were
in the ratio of only 5314 per cent. of what might have been ex-
pected according to the Tables upon which tke Society's calculations
are based.

LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1849,

Even among the most captious publicists of France
the government of Louis IsTaroeuoN, during the first
year of his Presidentship, is eliciting approbation.
Under all circumstances, therefore, the policy adopted
by that illustrious functionary appears to have been
admirably selected in its relations with the new
Democracy. Its popularity after a period of such
extraordinary agitation, when the responsibility of
maintaining the supremacy of the laws has been en-
cumbered by so many and such appalling difficulties,
is a sufficient testimony that its character has been
peculiarly that of elasticity and conciliation. Without
a very large degree of elasticity it could never have
proved adaptable to a community just recovering
from the paroxyms of revolutionary excitement, and
swaying to and fro under the influence of antagonistic
demagogues. Without conciliation, moreover, and con-
ciliation, too, of a very remarkable kind, eager without
sycophancy, and generous without extravagance, the
contending factions could never have been so far
reconciled as to admit of a hope of their ulterior
amalgamation. Thanks to the bold but tranquillising
course pursued by the PRESIDENT, that
hope is actually visible in the still flue.
tuating but propitious prospective of French
Republicanism. His efforts towards effecting a certain
degree of union among the incongruous parties in
the Legislative Assembly, have proved, even so far
as the present time is concerned, satisfactory, inso-
much that, notwithstanding the differences of opinion
which must have been otherwise inevitable in the
discussions of that Parliament, its opposite classes
may be readily calculated. What must have been,
undox a less assuaging and conciliative rule, almost
incalculable in regard to number, is now, we repeat,
readily to be calculated—the principal divisions being
those of Right and Left, Extreme-Right and Extreme
Left, the Centre and the Mountain. If only, there-
fore, for the reasons already given, the administrative
scheme adventured upon by the PRESIDENT is emi•
neatly deserving of approval, and the adroitness
displayed by him in conducting the machinery of the
Executive, would have been entitled to our highest
encomiums, even without taking into consideration
the obstacles thrown in his way by the antecedent
turmoils of the Revolution.
A conviction seems to be ripening in the minds of
the French population that the somewhat enigmatical
character of the Government during the commence-
.''t of Louis NAPOLEON'S career as President, was
7/4,7_77.1 only secure and sagacious preservative of its
lity and predominance. For the purpose of de-
' 4.4* Onstrating the correctness of this apparently idle

HANOVER.

In the sitting of the First Chamber on the 15th,
the resolution of the Second Chamber on the
Schleswig-Holstein question was on the order of the
day. The Minister, Count BENNIGSEN, declared that
conformably with the wishes of the Chamber the
Government had demanded information fro .n the
Stac'holdership, as to whether the letter published as
having been addressed by it to the KING of Denmark
was authentic. The Stadholdership had replied in
the affirmative.
The Government 111(1 also desired to be furnished
with the communications on the negotiations, which
were refused, cs these negotiations were a profound
secret.

The Chamber then adopted the following motion :
—" That the Government endeavour to obtain for
the Duchies that legal state which they enjoyed pre-
vious to the Danish ordinance of the 24th of Afirch;
and that, in case of the partition of Schleswig, regard
would at least be had to the nationality of the northern
part."
London, England, 1849-12-18

TURKEY.

Letters from Constantinople of the 28th state that
the following conclusions have been come to as re-
gards the question of the refugees. As the
internal dissensions of Austria, notwith-
standing they have been appeased, have not been
settled, the refugees who have sought Ottoman
hospitality are to be located, for a term not ex-
ceeding one year, in some distant province of Tur-
key, 'whereas such as are furnished with foreign
passports will be free to quit the country imme-
diately. The Poles who have embraced the Mahome-
dan faith are, according to the sense of treaties,
screened from expulsion ; but they are to be with-
drawn from the province of Rumelia, where their
presence near the focus of their recent intrigues might
be dangerous to Austria. Syria is proposed for the
former, whereas the latter will be employed according
to their capacities, either civil er military, nearer this
city.
This arrangement, suggested by Sir STRATFORD
CANNING, has, it is said, been provisionally accepted
by the Austrian and Russian Ministers, and for
warded to Vienna and to St. Petersburgh for their
approval.
The Wanderer of Vienna publishes the following
from Constantinople of the 28th ult. :
" Since the arrival of the last Russian note nothing
new has occurred in the affair of the refugees. M.
Sturmer does not seem to have bound himself uncondi-
tionally to act in accordance with Russia, and the ac-
ceptation of the note intended for Austria does not
depend on the decision of the Russian Government.
He nevertheless deemed it essential to require the
dctentioa in arrest of. Generals Kohlman, Stein,
and Kmety, who had assumed the turban—in this
respect going hand in hand with M. Titoff. What the
Porte refused to Russia was of course not ac
corded to Austria. The subsequent demand on the
part of the Allied Powers that all of the Poles, not in•
eluded in the Hungarian category, who had become
Turks should be disqualified for receiving rank or office
—a semi-official- demand—was likewiso negatived.
None of the Polish legion, except Bens and suite, have
apostatized, but numbers of Poles and Italians, who
happen to be here, many of whom arrived at the termi-
nation of the war in Italy, have renounced the cross for
the crescent."
