PAYMASTERS.

Captain PECHELL said, that ho wished to ask the
Secretary of the Admiralty a question. In the course
of last session, and the session before, petitions had
been presented from the pursers and paymasters in the
navy, complaining that, notwithstanding the recommen-
dation of the commission appointed to inquire into this
subject, the petitioners had not received any addition tc
their half-pay. The petitioners had in one case surrendered
20 per cent., and in another 23 per cent. of their sea-
profits, in order that they might have a better half-pay.
They had been told on the last occasion, that if they
would forego their claims for that session the Govern-
ment would give them their favourable attention in the
next session. Relying upon that promise, they had not
pressed their claims, and he (Captain Pechell) wished
now to know what steps had been taken to bring about
some satisfactory arrangement?
Mr. WARD said, that in accordance with the - recom-
mendation of the Commissioners appointed in 1341, one
shilling per day would be added to the half•pay of these
claimants in the present year.
Captain PECHELL wished to say that he had received
a communication from a paymaster placed on the six-
shilling list who had not been able to obtain the addition
recommended by the Commissioners.

TIIE BL XCK CAT.

Mr. MUNTZ wished to know upon what authority,
or upon what grounds, the schooner Black Cat was de-
tained in the river, and why all information upon the
subject was refused to the owners by the Custom-house
authorities.

Lord PALMERSTON replied that the Black Cat
was detained at the request of the Portuguese: Moister,
who represented that the Black Cat was laden with con-
siderable stores, to be used in hostilities on the coast of
Spain.

Mr. MUNTZ gave notice that, on Thursday week, lie
should bring the subject of the detention of the Black
Cat under the attention of the (louse.—(Laughter.)
In answer to a question from Mr. O'CUNNELL,
Mr. LABOUCIIERE replied that Dublin would not
be excluded from the operation of the Destitute Persons
(Ireland) Act.

Mr. AGLIONBY wished to know if Government in-
tended to bring in any measure this session to correct
the evils attendant upoa the collection of the Merchant
Seaman's Fund.

Mr. WARD replied that it had been determined to
institute a further inquiry into the subject, and a com-
mission would be appointed for that purpose. Upon
the result of that commission a measure would be
founded for remedying such evils as might be found to
exist.

SHERIFFS' COURT, Feb. 4.

m( r. .
The plaintiff in thsuis case is a taiIorCOLLINS
in Regent-street, and
he broin;ht the action to recover the sum of 2!. 12s. forgoods
sold. It appeared by the evidence that the defendant
ordered a coat, and the plaintiff's foreman swore that de-
fendant selected a blue cloth, but when he called afterwards
he said he had ordered a black coat, as he never wore a blue
one in his life; and plaintiff rather than lose him as a cus-
tomer said he would make a black one, but he completed the
blue one and sent it borne; it was however returned by the
detimdant.
Mr. Tuosins 'aid he had a rittics, who bat
the order was for a black coat, but on the evidence already '
given he felt confident of a verdict, for even supposing a bin

SECONDARIES' COURT, Feb. 5.

BEALE v. HERBERT.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a car-
penter, against the defendant, the manager of the Deptford
Theatre, to recover the sum of 151., for work and labour done.
The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted.
Evidence was adduced to show that the materials had
been supplied, and the charges fair and reasonable, plaintiff
charging 2/. 24. a week for his superintendence of the work.
A play-bill was put in, in order to prove that the defendant
was satisfied with the work done.
The LeiLrned SECONDARY held that it was not admissible.
The ATTORNEY said, perhaps it was only a mere puff.
It was then proved that when first applied to, defendant only
displited 2s. in the account, and afterwards promised to pay
at his earliest conyenience.
Thejury gave a verdict for the amount.
There was only one other case, on an undefended bill of
exchange.

HER MAJESTY'S NAVY.

Sir C. NAPIER wished to ask a question of the
Hon. the Secretary of the Admiralty, but, as he had not
given notice of it, he would not request an
answer till Monday next. Last year it would be
that 100 naval captains had been taken off the list, and
he found that withi❑ a recent period 72 fresh ones han
been added. Now, as it had been stated that the cap-
tains' list was to be reduced to 500, he wished to ask the
Hon. Gentleman the Secretary for the Admiralty whe-
ther the list had been reduced below that number by so
many, or whether this new introduction of names was an
addition to the complete number ?
Mr. WARD said he would give an answer on Monday.

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL . ENGI

NEERS.

On Wednesday the first meeting was held in the new
theatre, which is a fine room of good proportions, of a
simple but bold style of architectural decoration, ex-
tremely well lighted, but above all well warmed and
ventilated, and which as a whole may be said to bo per-
haps the best room in the metropolis for the meetings
of a scientific body. Sir John Rennie, president in :the
chair.

The paper read was by Mr. E. Newton. It gave a
description of the method employed by Mr. Heron for
the construction of the permanent way of the Philadel-
phia and Reading, and other railways in the United
States. The method was a deviation both from the sys-
tems of the longitudinal and the transverse sleepers. It
con-isted of two series of diagonal sleepers crossing each
other, and spiked together at the intersections with
wo 'den trenails or iron pins, according to circumstances,
forming an extended platform, upon which their longi-
tudinal bearers N., re laid, suporting bridge-shaped rails,
with wri.ught iron chairs. The paper entered minutely
into the modes of construction, the dimensions of the
various parts, and the expense of laying the road with
the ballasting. It then gave an account of several de-
viations from the general system, such as making the
trellis work of iron laid in bitumen, &e., and also a de-
tail of the amount of the traffic conveyed along the rail-
way, whence it appeared that within one year and five
days from its being opened for general use, 1,400,000
tons of goods had b-en conveyed along it, without any
prejudicial eff-ct ; and, in fact, with less wear and tear
than was usual upon railways in the States. The cost
of a single line was about 8501. per mile.
From the discussion that ensued it appeared to be the
opinion that although the system might succeed in a
country where timber abounded. it wasinapplicable for
English railroads, and exceptions were taken-to the.
general features of the construction for high speed—as
the rails, which weighed only 44Ibs. per yard ; and if a
single bridge form could not resist the impact of the
wheels at great velocities, the junctions of the diago
nally laid sleepers would become loosened, and there
would be too much deflection between the bearing points.
These objections were strongly urged, and were received
as valid, but at the same time it was admitted that it was
extremely desirable to encourage the communication of
accounts of foreign engineering works ; the thanks of the
meeting were voted to Mr. Newton for the statements he
had given, with a request that he would communicate to
Mr. Heron this feeling of his English scientific brethren
of the profession of civil engineering.
The following paper was announced to be read at the
xt meeting, on Tuesday, February 9 :
No. 750. Description of the Great North Holland Canal,
by G. B. W. Jackson, Assoc. Inst. C.E,

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

Colonel SIBTHORP gave notice, that if no more
competent Member would bring in a Bill for the better
regulation of railways, he should on an early day more
for leave to bring in a Bill to compel railway companies
to give ample compensation to the survivors of those
persons who should have lost their lives by accidents
on raijways.
SUGAR IN BREWERIES.

An HON. MEMBER asked if any objection would be
urged by Government to the use of sugar in breweries
for the purpose of colouring beer?
The. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
if his Hon. Friend exercised a little patience he would
find that whets' She Bill came:before Committee there
was-A.-alutta•erliierted having spec:lit reference to this
matter.

NAVIGATION LAWS.

Mr. RICARDO wished to know whether refined
sugar was admissible into this country under the navi-
gation laws.
Mr. GIBSON—The navigation laws, to which his
Hon. Friend alluded, held that manufactured winds
were to be considered the goofs of the country in which
they were manufactured.
Mr. RICARDO did not think that an answer to his
question.

- Mr. GIBSON would take the liberty of stating, on the
part of Government, that he would answer more fully
the question of his Hon. Friend at a future period.
Mr. RICARDO gave notice that he should, on
Monday. repeat hi; question.
THE NAVAL SERVICE—PURSERS AND
PAYMASTERS.
Captain PECHELL said, that he Wished to ask the
Secretary of the Admiralty a question. In the course
of last session, and the session before, re titions had
been presented from the pursers and paymasters in the
navy, complaining that, notwithstanding the recoman n.
dation of the c,mmission appointed to inquire inio this
subject, the petitioners had not rt ceived any ,ddition
their hair-ray. The petitiotn=rs had in one caso surrendered
20 per cent., and in another 23 per cent. of their sea-
profits, in order that they might have a hett,r halt.-pay.
They hal been told on the last occasion, that if they
would forego their claims for that session the Gov,rn-
went would give them their favourable attention in the
next seat ion. Relying upon that promise, they had not
pressed their claims, and he (Captain Pechell) wished
now to know what steps had been taken to bring about
some satisfactory arrangement?
Mr. WARD said, that in accordance with the recom-
mendation of the Commissioners appointed in Is4l, one
shilling per day would be added to the half pay of these
claimants in the present year.
Captain PECHELL wished to say that he had received
a communication from a paymaster placed on the six-
shilling list who had not been able to obtain the addition
recommended by the Commissioners.
RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Colonel SIBTHORP gave notice, that if no more
competent Member would bring in a Bill for the better

for leave to bring in a Bill to compel railway companies
to give ample compensation to the survivors of those
pet sons who should have lost their lives by accidents

The late celebrated Toastmaster, Mr. James I
who
established humourous ex-
established the now indispensable
profession of toastmaster;
and the extraordinary
success with which he carried out
for
the last seventeen years, at the City festivals, and in fact
in all parts of England, has recently created severalcopyists,
who were anxious to share the business. Notwithstanding
this, his engagements, up to the hour of s we under-
stand, were very numerous. He always officiatedea
lii,h to the.
Duke of Cambridge, by desire of his Royal with
whom he was an especial favourite. As a toastmaster,6ness,
equal will never be found. He was a. kind-hearted and hls
ge-
nerousman, and subscribed to a great number of charitable
societies. He had been twenty-two years in the East India
Douse, where, by his invariable activity in studying the in-
terests of the company, and obliging disposition, his loss is
severely felt and deeply lamented by his superiors and all
who knew him. We understand that, (luring his illness lie
had been very kindly visited by Mr. Melvill, the secretary,
who had probably observed the good qualities which Mr.?
Toole possessed.
By this sad bereavement, two sons and three daughters
are left to deplore the loss of an affectionate father ; and we
fear, with the exception of a small legacy, without any fu-
ture provision. The charge of these orphans has devolved
upon his eldest son, who has himself a family. NVe feel as-
sured that, under these circumstances, some of the deceased's
numerous admirers will step forward and inquire into the
matter. We trust, also, that the eldest son will continue his
father's position as toastmaster. In that case, we shall not
only have the name retained, but almost the man, for the
son has already met with great success in that epikeity, and
was, moreover, rapidly approaching the great original. IVe
wish him every success. The deceased will be interred in
Nunbead Cemetery on Sunday afternoon (to-morrow), from
his residence in Devonshire-street, Bishopsgate.

Office in London—No. 12, Moorgatc-street.
The Premiums are on the most moderate scale consistent with per-
fect security; while
The Profits are wholly divisable among the assured, on a princi-
ple at once sate, equitable, and favourable to good lives ; being re-
served for those Members whose paid-up Premiums, with accumu-
lated Interest, amount to the sum assured by their Policies. ay
this principle, a surplus, comparatively small in itself, may yield a
very considerable bonus to those who live to share In it. The mo-
derate rate of Premium, as compared with most of the other mutual
offices—equivalent, at early and middle ages, to a bonus of 201. or 25/.
per cent. from the commencement —ls a compensating advantage to
those who do not live to participate In the surplus.
At the first Investigation a Surplus was declared of 30,4551.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY')

CORN EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
During the present week the arrivals of Beg fish
Wheat for our market, coastwise as well as by land ul
riage, have been on the increase, and the show E
samples here to-day somewhat exceeded the wauti•li
the buyers. The demand was, therefore in a singe.
state, at prices about equal to those obtained on MI
day. The imports of Foreign Wheat have been ealaij
viz. 4,260 quarters. Selected qualities of both red an
i
white were in fair request, at full currencies. In ale
other kinds, next to nothing was doing. supe.rur:
Barley was quite as dear ; but the secondary end a.he
rior sorts had a downward tendency. Although
supply of Malt was by no means large, the trade war
heavy, and most kinds might have been purchased at I_7:
per quarter less money. The best Oats were quite. of.
oth:dear. Altogether qualities were a slow sale.
articles of Grain, as well as Flour, were dull, at late
rates.

At 31st December, 1845, it was ascertained, on investigation, that
the Surplus Fund amounted to upwards of 614,0001., and it was suffi-
cient to enable the Directors, after setting aside upwards of 204,0001.
as a Guarantee Fund, to declare and provide for the following
additions

I. An addition at the rate of Two per Cent. per Annum for the
ported from 31st December, 1838, en the accumulated amount of the
original sums assured, and the previously declared additions; being,
in the case of early insurances, upwards of THREE PER CENT.
PER ANNUM of BONUS on the original Sum Insured. And In
order to provide for the case of those parties who may die before
31st December, 1852, when the next investigation and declaration of
Surplus is made, there was provided farther,
11. In addition to the rate of Two per Cent. per 'Annum on the
accumulated amount bf the original Assurances, and previously de-
clared additions, for each Premium that may be "paid after 31st
December, 1845, provided the party die before 31st December, 1852
(having been insured at least five years), this addition, supposing the
case of a party insured in the early years of the Society's existence,
to die after payment of the premium for the year 1852, would be for
the seven years from 31st December, 1845, to 3lst December, 1852,
upwards of 25 per cent. on the original Assurance : or at the rate of
