ACTUARY—J. T. Clement, Esq.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the
Life Policies equal to 35 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of
5 per cent. to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual
interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum,
without a prospective bonus, a sew table at lower rates has been
calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half
the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years,
thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate
payment of the premium for 5001. only.
The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001.

The Directors beg to remind their friends, whose premiums become
due at Miichaelmas, that no extra charge is made at this office for
the transfer of policies, and that they will be rated on terms pecu-
liarly favourable to parties insuring.

To carry out effectually and economically steam communication
with those countries is the object of this Company, for whose o)ie-
ration■ there is an ample and profitable field, especially as regards
our numerous and valuable colonies in the Southern Pacific, which
have an increasing intercourse with India as well as with England
—are the only portions of the British empire unconnected by steam
navigation with the parent state, and for which a charter by the
overland route has been exclusively granted to this Company.
The route sanctioned by the Lords of the Admiralty for this Com-
pany is via Ceylon, Singapore, and Torres Straits, the advantages of
which are, that Sydney, the metroplitan capital of the whole of the
Australasian colonies, would be brought to a certainty within 64 or
65 days of London (frequently in GO), and within less than 30 days
of India. The coal stations are convenient, excellent coal from the
pits at Newcastle, New South Wales, can be put on board there at
7s. to 7s. 6d. per ton.

fRITISII COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-
road, London.—The principles of the Ilygelan theory are con-
tamed in the following propositions :-1. The vital principle s con-
tained in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the
blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases
arise front the impurity of the blood, or, in other words, front acri-
monious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which de-
generates the blood, has three sources—the maternine, the conta-
gious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin,
and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation
by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectuual mode of eradi-
cating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply
proved MORISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to
be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion
subsisting between the mind and the body, the health of theone must
conduce to the serenity of the other. Ilygeism—The science of health.
llygeist —A promoter of health. Ifygeian—Pertaining to the science
of health. These terms have not been adopted through an affecta-
tion of singularity, but merely for the sake of drawing a sufficiently
broad line et demarcation between the old and new schools.

THE LANDLORD'S CALL.
AN ANECDOTE FOR QUARTER-DAY
It was quarter-day or near, when Landlord Lett,
Called at a te.iant's house his rent 'o get •
But understand that though the landlord ,vent,
He didn't much expect to get his rent.
Knowing that heretofore his dreaded knock
Ilad acted on his tenant like a shock.
But now there needed not the s ightest fuss
For Mr. Tenant met tha landlord thus
Good morning, Mr. Landlord, pray walk in,
For Sir, (excuse the phrase), I've got the tin.
About a year ago, or maybe less,
I set to work to try and. save in dress,
And having from my neigbours understood
That Messrs. MOSES sell both cheap and good,
I made a purchase from their stock of stocks,
And put the savings in a money box.
Here the good tenant on the table rnll'd
his gains by MOSES—copper, silver gold,
And having counted it he smiled to view
Enough to pay his rent and taxes too.
Well done, exclaimed the landlord, I propose
We drink to MOSES and to MOSES' clothes.

A R R I A G E.
M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffideace, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
Uitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
arid social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS " On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
Mr the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by u:,qualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6,L) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library voltnne, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but Use study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the ITI,XiIIIR he would inculcate—tl do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, l'aternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet•strect ; Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,
mornings and ‘veniugs), 10, Argyll-place Regent-street; and all
Powksellors.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.—The Manchester meeting suggests some
rather serious reflections. That city is the industrial
metropolis of this empire ; and whatever it feels and
says on the subject in the sentiment and voice of
British industry is a much truer and more practical
sense than anything which can be elicited from the
heterogeneous and strangely sorted masses thrown
together on the banks of the Thames. The instincts
of production and commerce cannot fail to govern
halt a million souls assembled for no other purpose
than the staple manufactures of England. We are
not claiming infallibility for a manufacturing mul-
titude; on the contrary, we consider that in respect
of the railway delusion Manchester has been fOre-
most in error. The thought which most effects us
on a perusal of the proceedings in Manchester
Town-hall on Thursday afternoon is the vast gulf
which unhappily divides commercial and poli-
tical England. To take the most unfavourable
view of the case, even to over-state the cu-
pidity, recklessness, and credulity of trade, here
is Manchester confessing its mistake, proclaiming
consequences which pride would tempt it to conceal,
describing a state of things which calls for prompt
remedy, and suggesting the only possible course,
with about as little chance of getting anything done
as if it were the village of Little I'edlington peti-
tioning the Lords to protect the general interests of
morality and religion. The character of the present
crisis, the follies and disasters that have led to it, and
what ought now to be done, have never been better
described than by the speakers at Manchester. Yet
they speak to stone walls. Nothing will be done.
Very few words will suffice to show the utter want
of sympathy and common understanding between
the Legislature and those mighty but irregular
powers and undisciplined impulses to which we owe
our railway undertakings. The Legislature has not
stirred a step either to check these speculations or to
promote them. It has thrown the most tremendous
difficulties and expenses in their way, far beyond'
what were necessary to sift them, and not of a sort
to accomplish that object. It has exposed them to
a ruinous scramble, in which chance, corrupt in-
fluence, money, and dexterity ruled the day. It has
scarcely made one effort to lay out the great design,
to economise the capital sunk in the work, to save
the pockets of the promoters, or the time of the
public. It has repudiated duties felt to be national
in every other civilised country in the world. Lastly,
when a great infatuation seized the people, when the
wildest cupidity and most unwarrantable expectations
prevailed, when the grossest delusions as to the na-
tional capabilities were industriously propagated and
stoutly maintained, when mad competition inflamed
the senses of the multitude, and occupied all the
avenues of the Senate, the Legislature obstinately
refused to control this fury, or set bounds to this ex-
travagance. It shrank from the very idea of pre-
scribing any limit, or providing any rules of election.
With all the facilities for telling the people how
much they could do, it suffered them to be duped
into a foolish conceit of indefinite capability. The
parent left the child, the head left the members to
their folly and their fate. All the evils that could
possibly ensue, and that had been distinctly predicted,
have now come to pass. The eyes of all are open, and
there are scarcely two opinions on the subject among
the rational portion of mankind. The effects of human
rashness have been fearfully aggravated by a Divine
visitation. The great city which has all along been
considered the very source and centre of this mad-
ness, and which is now the chief sufferer, asks for
some remedy. What is it to the Legislature ? After
the experience of the last few years, does any one ex-
pect that anything will be done to arrest the progress
of the commercial Juggernaut which is crushing the
multitudes of its once infatuated and now powerless
devotees ? We are sorry to drop a single word which
can imply dissatisfaction with the great political
compromises of this country, above all, with any,
recent " finality," but we are forced to admit that wet
see in the present facts a sign that our commercial ancK
manufacturing interests are not adequately represented'
in the Government, or even in the Legislature.:
To appreciate our present condition, let us suppose
it not the spontaneous work of the people them-c
selves, but the tyrannical act of a dominant class
Suppose the chiefs of a feudal aristocracy, ascendant
in the Legislature, had procured a vast mass of pecu-
liar jurisdictions and monopolies, authorising them to
levy enormous contributions from the burghers of
England, which enabled them to employ a vast popu-
lation in certain works of private profit and distant:,
utility. The aggregate of exactions is a million:
pounds sterling a week for five years; and the whole
population employed, including men, women, and
children, and those who are indirectly dependent on
the work, is not less than two million souls. To
this state of things great calamities are super-
added. A famine raises the price of fond to a
fearful height, and compels an immense outlay for
foreign supplies. Another visitation cripples our
first staple manufacture. Notwithstanding all this,
our supposed lords of the soil, bent on the com-
pletion of their fancies and the consolidation
of their powers, urged on by rivalry, being also om-
nipotent in the Legislature as well as in their private
resources, will not relent. They only urge on the
work. They see the wealth of the country percepti-
bly failing under this vast drain. They see the con-
sequent flagging of all other more ordinary and more
useful branches of employment. What could be
imagined more like the rule of a Pharoah, or the
ruinous ambition of a Napoleon ? Such, however, is
exactly our present state, as far as regards the nature
and vastness of the works, the amount of the expen-
diture, the absoluteness of the power committed to
the directors of the work, the fell necessity which
urges it on, the present results, and all other re-
spects, excepting one alone, which is that we owe
our bondage rather to our own infatuation than to
the bondage of our birth. We have sold ourselves to
slavery. Yet, did the Government of this country
really represent our true interests, would it not take

failures have been connected one with another by close
relations, and their occurrence is no proof whatever
that the general commerce of the country is nat
in a sound and safe condition. A great house like
that of Reid, Irving, and Co., is brought to the
ground by causes which have been for years in ope-
ration. In their fall they crush others. An India
mail brings large remittances in the shape of drafts
or bills on the insolvent firm, and the receivers of
such remittances become, at least for the moment, in-
solvent. Of houses thus compelled to stop within
the last few days, we hear already of some who are
either on the point of resuming their payments, or
whose assets are ascertained to be much more than
sufficient to meet their liabilities. If even houses
suffering from temporary !discredit are found to be
thus solid, still more certain is it that the great mass

ought not to inspire distrust, but hope and confidence.

means by which railway companies can be prevented

from absorbing the whole disposable capital of the
country. A high rate of discount, therefore, is
an evil from which no Bank-law could protect
commerce at the present time. But the pressure
of yesterday was more than this. The Bank of
Thursday raised the rate of in-
terest for advances upon stock, yesterday refused to
England, having on
make such advances upon any terms. Although th e
present state of the Bank accounts cannot be known

until next week, we can be at no loss to discover the
cause of this violent and extreme measure. The re-
turns published elsewhere show that during the week
ending on Saturday last, large and increasing appli-
cations were made to the Bank for loans. The appli-
cations continued to increase during the present week,
and the Bank having made advances up to a certain
point did not think it prudent to go farther. The
effect is, that the holders of stock who want cash
must force their stock upon the market at any price,
and all bankers and dealers in money who hold part
of their reserves in stock and Exchequer-bills are
ob 4 ed still further to limit their credits, in
order to avoid the necessity of realising at an
enormous depreciation. The excessive demands
upon the Bank were the result of a pre-existing
pressure, and it is needless to point out in how
many ways the severity of that pressure must now
he heightened by the course that has been adopted.
Now this is a state of things such as, taking all the
facts into view, may be said to be unparalleled. We
have often enough had seasons of monetary pressure.
We have gone through many varieties of the disease
called a crisis, and we have had actual panics not a
few; but before the year 1847 we had no such phe-
nomenon as this of the Bank of England suddenly
refusing to make loans on stock, with nearly nine
millions of bullion in its coffers. This we hold to be
purely the result of the present artificial restrictions
—a piece of unmixed injury inflicted on the mercan-
tile community by the law of 1844. Setting aside
the requirements of that law, there is no shadow of
ground for such a proceeding. There is no foreign
drain acting upon the Bank treasure. There is no
apprehension of a drain. There is no reason to doubt
that the commerce of the country, as a whole, is in
sound condition. There is no desirable object of
public or monetary policy to be attained by refusing
short loans of money upon stock, at the high rate of
interest which the Bank has fixed. In short, it can-
not for an instant be doubted that if the Bank were
now as free to deal with its own capital as it was
before 1844, this rude shock would not have been
given so unseasonably to confidence and credit. Re-
stricted as the Bank of England is, however, by the
separation of its functions, we can readily believe that
it has adopted this course from necessity. Its first
duty is to take care of its own credit. The law of
1844, by tying up a large portion of its bullion to
meet issues alone, obliges its loan and discount busi-
ness to be conducted upon a reserve too small for
transactions so vast and variable in their nature as
those of the Bank of England. The Bank directors,
therefore, having to keep in view, not as in former
times the amount of their gross stock of bullion, but
merely the amount of reserve in the deposit depart-
ment, are induced, or compelled, to regulate their
advances by much smaller fluctuations in the reserve
than were regarded under the bld system. The in-
terval which separates comparative ease from the most
intense pressure is now far less than it was. A mil-
lion or two taken from or added to the reserve makes
all the difference. Hence we have sudden and con-
founding changes like those of the last few weeks, and
a paralysing uncertainty thrown over all com-
mercial operations which require any length of time
for their completion.

THE PARISH OF MARYLEBONE.

Yesterday a very numerously-attended meeting of
the directors and guardians of Marylebone took place
in the board-room of the workhouse, Mr. Lowe in
the chair. _

Mr. MESSER, the relieving officer, reported that
there was an increase in the workhouse of 500, and
out of the house of 2,700 over and above the corres-
ponding period last year.
Mr. THORNE, the secretary, then introduced the
official report of the committee appointed to consider
the present arrangements respecting the separation
ward, with a view of making some improvments in
the system. The report stated that the committee,
having satisfied themselves of the utter inefficiency of
:the existing arrangements for the purposes of classifi-
cation, especially among the females, had directed
their attention, and approved of a report of a com-
mittee, accompanied with plans and specifications, for
11€ Sion of a distinct ward and washhouse for girls
1, 1--arfaews ward. The report also recommended
‘-"E; cements for the better classification and
general amelioration of refractory paupers, as well as
to check Insubordination, and likewise to defeat the
object of girls, that of being sent to prison, which
they preferred to being in the workhouse.
Mr. BELL moved the adoption of the report, and
hoped that it would be carried out as speedily as
possible. The expense of constructing a separation
vidririv—iiiild he 1831.
The Rev. Dr. SCOBELL seconded the motion, and
Mr. POTTER spoke at some length upon this subject,
and after an animated debate the motion vs as put by
the Chairman, and carried nem. con., when the
meeting dissolved.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
.MALTA, SEPT. 24.—The fleet is still in port, but
it is reported that it will leave for a cruise about the
10th proximo. The Locust steamer, which has just
arrived from Athens, reports that the three line-of-
battle ships were in port, and would not leave until
the Harlequin sloop from Smyrna had joined. The
Fantome, 16, had sailed from the Piraeus to re-
lieve her.
WooLwicfr, OCT. I.—The Fisgard, 42, guns, Capt.
Duntze, is officially ordered to be paid off here on
Thursday, the 7th inst. The two pumas, or South
American lions, the reindeer, and the condor, have
been purchased by Mr. Tyler, proprietor of the Royal
Surrey Zoological Gardens, and these fine and rare
animals and bird were taken on shore to-day for con-
veyance to the gardens.
The Garland steam-vessel, Captain Smithett, has
returned from attending on the Queen, and will re-
sume her duties on the Ostend and Calais stations from
Dover. This vessel has answered the expectations of
every. one during the late trials of speed with the fastest
and most powerful vessels in England and Scotland,
and was never behind in the station she was appointed
to take.

CAUTION TO TUE PUBLIC.—Of late house-break-
ings and robberies have been alarmingly bold and
frequent in the west of Scotland. Glasgow appears to
be the head-quarters of the gang, but the provinces come
in for their share of depredations. The number of
offenders, we find, has recently received an addition by
an import at Greenock. We mentioned lately the arrival
here of the Trident, which had picked up at sea a boat
with six men. These, with the boat, the master of the
Trident brought to Greenock, and after lingering about
town for a few days, they disappeared. They gave some
account of their being part of the crew of a wrecked
vessel, or some such story; but their true
we hi
had in the
story is no
doubt conveyed is a paragranh which
lermudian of the 24th ult., which says, that six of the
Hamilton offenders confined within the walls of
HGaol have made their escape. After clearing
the wall which surrounds the gaol, they seized upon a
small clipper sail-boat, owned by Lieutenant Ramsey, of
the 42d Regiment. and proceeded to sea. On the fore-
noon of the morning they escaped, having got clear
early, the Government steamer Gleaner was dispatched
in pursuit; but a fine easterly wind had wafted the fleet
Litt ke craft so rapidly over the sea, that the steamer, not-
withstanding a run of sixty miles after losing sight of
_land, had to return without any tidings of the object of
her chase.—Greenock Advertiser.
HORSEFLESH AS BUTCHER'S MEAT.—In Frankfort
and several other cities of Germany, societies have been
formed of " eaters of horseflesh," the members of which
endeavour to remove the obstinate prejudice entertained
against the food supplied by the carcases of horses.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
This morning it was announced that the Bank of
England would for the present discontinue altogether
its adrinces on stock and Exchequer-bills, the rate
fur which was yesterday raised from 5 to 51 per
cent. _

An intimation was also given that the rate of dis-
count for first-class paper will henceforth be 58 per
cent. on bills not having more than 15 days to run, 6
per cent. on bills not having more than two months
to run, and 6i per cent. on all beyond that period.
In consequence of the above events, the Engli,h
Funds, which had opened at a slight decline from
yesterday's prices, underwent a fall of 1 per cent.
The first quotation of Consols for money was 858
to whence they rapidly went to 84i, finally closing
at 84i to For the account the range was from
85,i- Ato 84k, and the last price was 85, sellers.
After business hours, Inwever, they were done at
8.58. Bank Stock left off 194 to 196, and India
Bonds lOs. to ss. discount. Exchequer-bills, after
the publication of the Bank notice, were saleable!
with great difficulty. They were done at 2s. dis-
count, and sales were subsequently offered at 35., but
there was a general indisposition to purchase, and no
amount of any importance could have been dis-
posed of.
The number of loans which became repayable at
the Bank to-day was very considerable, and the
greatest distrust and inconvenience was occasioned
when it was found that a renewal was refused. Owing
to the feeling which prevailed half-payments in some
instances were taken, and an extension granted upon
the remainder. _ _ .

Notwithstanding an almost unexampled state of
excitement, and the incessant circulation of rumours,
the day passed off without a single failure of any im-
portance, the only suspension being that of a firm in
the West India trade, whose engagements are too
small to call for any special notice. A report, which
was very generally and very recklessly circulated,
that tVe Company of the Copper Miners in England
had stoped payment, proved to be without foundation.
From Manchester we have accounts 9f the failure
of Render and Milner, commission agents, but the
liabilities are not supposed to be large. At the same
time we have, on the other hand, the satisfactory
news that the report of the stoppage of Birley, Corrie,
and Co., only " arises from a temporary inconve-
nience," and that no demands upon that firm " have
been, or are likely to be dishonoured."
The natural results of the measures adopted by the
Bank of England on the 2d of September have taken
place to-day, and the City has witnessed another
panic, consequent on the proceedings of that institu-
tion. Four weeks back in the face of a steady de-
crease of their reserve of notes, notice was given that
advances would be made on stock, Exchequer-bills,
and bills of exchange, at 5 per cent., being a re-
duction of full one-half per cent. upon the rate then
current in the market. The inevitable consequences
of this plan of reducing the price of their commodity
in proportion as the demand for it was increasing,
was pointed out at the time in the same way as it was
pointed out previously to the Bank-made panic of A pril
last. In both cases, however, experience was necessary
to enlighten the directors, and in both cases also the
penalty arising out of this necessity has been paid by
the public. Instead of husbanding its resources at the
time when, owing to the absence of absolute alarm
in the money market, a quiet opportunity is presented
for it to do so, with a view of securing the means of
offering aid when a time of emergency shall arise,
and of thus checking the evil of monetary fear, the
Bank of England is always the first in the field to
add to the terrors of any existing crisis. At periods
when the slightest show of liberality, even for four-
and-twenty hours, would at once serve to check the
vague apprehensions which the occurrence of two or
three large failures is sure to create (and which appre-
hensions in their effect are far more dangerous than
any real event that could possibly happen), the Bank
is always in embarrassment, and, so far from protect-
ing others, is seen to be engaged in sudden and des-
perate efforts to protect itself; thus giving the tons
to every minor establishment, and causing universal
timidity to ensue when everything depends upon the
boldness of self-possession. Up to yesterday there
was an all-pervading cautiousness in the money-
market, but there was no panic. The Bank, how-
ever, have begun to act, and now there is general
confusion.
For these evils, however, the public have only to
thank themselves. The Gazette returns are published
once a week, and in these there is no deception. At
the time when the Bank volunteered to cheapen it:,
advances, the returns in question gave a warning
which the public were not bound to disregard merely
became it was lost upon the Bank directors. Week
by week since that time the same warning has been
repeated, and with growing urgency, and, had these
been attended to, the steps to which the Bank has been
driven to-day would have been anticipated by all
parties, and, instead of creating panic, would have
been regarded only as the wholesome result of an
attempt to regulate business in total defiance of its
commonest principle. When the Bank returns in
the Gazette shall be taken at their true value, and be
adopted as the guides of all commercial men, and
when the shifting measures of the Bank Court shall
also be taken at their true value, and be utterly dis-
regarded, the money market will then be wholly
freed from the danger of violent convulsions. Each
weekly change will be noticed, and a gradual course
will be foreseen ; there may be pressure of the
severest kind, but it will never be coupled with the
fatal, and, to a people priding themselves upon their
mercantile sobriety, humiliating exhibition of help-
less fright.
The accounts from the Amsterdam Bourse notice a
further decline in the value 'of most public securities,
arising from the pressure of sales. Foreign stocks
had, it appears, experienced the greatest depreciation.
The papers from St. John's, New Brunswick,
state that the exports of wood to Great Britain and
Ireland, from the Ist of January to the Ist of Sep-
tember, included 57,603 tons of pine timber, 4,311
tons of birch timber, 1,262 tons of spruce timber,
62,865,769 feet of deals, 5,525,359 feet and 272 tons
of railway sleepers, and 639,753 feet of boards and
scantling. There was a good demand for labour,
especially of the kind adapted to waterside employ-
ment, wages averaging from 6s. to 10s. per day
being freely paid. The price of deals was quoted at
51. 10s. to 51.155.; timber, 225. 6d. The freightage
of deals to Liverpool was Si. 7s. 61, and to London
Si. 15s. 6d. For timber the price was 355. On
London the rate of exchange was 9 per cent.
An account from Pictou, received by the American
steamer, says :—" We never remember our harbour
to have presented a scene of greater activity than it
does at present. Besides the usual number of vessels
engaged in the coasting trade and some large ships
loading for British markets, there are no less than 70
vessels, British and American, entt red at the Mining
Company's office, South Pictou, for cargoes of coal,
many of them of considerable tonnage."
The dates from St. Thomas's extend to the 30th of
August, at which period there had been several arri-
vals of vessels from Martinique and Guadaloupe
seeking freight. Sugars at Porto Rico were fetching
from 31 gourdes to Si gourdes, but little business
was transacting for export. The gross shipments of
the article this year amounted to 21,600 hogsheads
The last crop of coffee reached 63,000 Spanish quin-
tals.
The advices from Manilla, speaking of the busi-
ness transacted there in the early part of July, refer
to the activity of the coffee market, and the advance
which has taken place in price. The descriptions
mostly dealt in were those commanding about 9
dollars 2 rupees per picul. Rice was rather lower,
the scarcity of freight preventing exports. The white
qualities of this article were quoted 2 dollars 2
rupees per picul. Sugars varied between 3 dollars 6
rupees, and 5 dollars 6 rupees. A French vessel, the
Auguste Marie, had been chartered for England at 81.
per ton. The rate of exchange upon London was 4
dollars 3 rupees.
The Colonial :markets have shown symptoms of
considerable heaviness during the week, having been
affected to a very great extent by the f present pres-
long a
sure. The distrust which has now. or
period prevailed, has been greatly increased in the
produce-market by the suspension of Fry, Griffiths,
and Co. Considering, therefore, the general flat-
ness of the market, it is not surprising that where
importers have seemed anxious sellers of sugar, they
have been compelled to give way in price, and have
only been enabled to effect sales at a reduction
of from Is. to Is, 6d. per cwt. At this decline, how-
ever, the grocers and refiners have come forward
more freely than might have been anticipated.
Of coffee very large parcels of Plantation Ceylon
have been injudiciously brought forward at this un-
favourable moment, and the result shows that, though
the bulk has been disposed of, yet a decline of 2s to
3s. per cwt. has been submitted to, while good ordi-
nary has about maintained its previous rates. In the
tea market there has been almost a suspension of
business. Many of the importers are placing their
goods on the- market, now that it is perceived, by
the arrival of the late mails, that all fear of the ex-

The interment of the remains of Napoleon Louis
Buonaparte, :ex•King of Holland, lately bearing the
title of Count de St. Leu, and of his son, I\ apoleon
Louis Bonaparte, took place on Wednesday in the
church of St. Leu Taverney, near Enghien. The
porch and interior of the church were hung with
rich draperies of black cloth, relieved by embroidery
in silver, and by escutcheons of the arms of the de-
ceased, and clumps of tri-coloured flags, forming I
scene of solemn splendour when lighted by the tapers
and torches. In the middle of the clnir was raised
a magnificent catafalque, within which were placed
the two coffins ; that of the ex-liing on the right,
covered with a violet pall, and that of his son on the

left, having over it a back pall. On the first was a
cross of cloth of gold, surrounded by bees, and
having a border of ermine, emblematic of royalty.
Upon the coffin was placed a cm-Ilion, with the em-
blems of sovereignty. 'The four corners of both palls
were wrought with the arms of the ex-King. Over
the catafalque was a grand dome or canopy suspended
from the vault of the church. The corners of the
pall were held by the Prince de Montfort, the
Duke de Padoue, the Duke Decazes, and an Italian
Prince. Mire than ten thousand persons came from
Paris and the surrounding towns and villages.
By eleven o'clock the church was full. Between► 400
and 500 old soldiers of the Empire, wearing the rich
uniform of the old guard. The Hussars, the Curas-
siers, the Dragoons, the Grenadiers, the Chasseurs,
and the Artillery came from Paris, Rouen, Orleans,
Lille, Cambrai, arid other places, to attend the fune-
ral. They were drawn up in lines along the nave,
under the command of Captain Lecomte, of the Hus-
sars. Several generals and an immense number of
officers of the army and National Guards were present
in their uniforms. The funeral service, which was
with music, began at half-past twelve. The organ
loft was filled with performers from most of the

theatres of the capital, who came to contribute, by
their voices or their instruments, to the effect of the
solemnity, which was not over till three o'clock.
Amongst the persons present we perceived Prince
Napoleon, son of Jerome Bonaparte, Princess Ma-
tilde Demidoff, Madame Wyse, General Arrighi,
Duke de Padoue, General Gourgaud, M. de St.
Hilaire, the Abbe Coquereau, M. Marchant, Valet de
Chambre of the Emperor, Dr. Conneau, the friend of
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, who was confined at Ham,
M. Belmontet, General Sherasky (a Pole), General
Oliviera (an Italian), M. de Vatry, and M. de
Thaer. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, ex-King of
Holland, was born at Ajaccio, in Corsica, on the
2d of September, 1778. He entered the French
army at an early age, and accompanied his
brother Napoleon to Italy and Egypt. He was aide-
de-camp of Napoleon when the latter, seizing a
standard, rushed upon the Bridge of Arcola. On this
occasion Louis placed himself before him, braving the
fire of the enemy, and made his body a rampart for
his brother and commander. He was sent by Na-
poleon, when First Consul, to St. Petersburg on a
mission, but received at Berlin the news of the death
of Paul I. After staying at Berlin about a year, he
returned to Paris, and was made colonel of the sth
regiment of dragoons. He became soon a general of
brigade, a councillor of state, and subsequently a
general of division. In 1802 be married Hortense
Fanny de Beauharnais, daughter of the Empress
Josephine. When Napoleon became Emperor, Louis
received the title of constable and colonel-general of
carabineers. After having successively been appointed
Governor-General of Piedmont, and governor ad
interim of the capital in place of Murat, he took the
command of the army of the north in Holland. The
Batavian Republic was soon afterwards converted into
a kingdom by Napoleon, and a treaty, by which the
Crown of Holland was given to Prince Louis was
signed between France and Holland on the 24th May,
1806. On the 9th June the states of Holland sent an
embassy extraordinary to Napoleon, to request, in the
name of the Dutch people, that Louis might be their
King, and almost immediately afterwards he assumed
the title. The first care of the new King was to re-
establish the finances of the state, and he earnestly
solicited the Emperor to recal the French troops, who
were paid by the Dutch nation, and to diminish the
naval armaments. This request was eventually ac-
ceded to. A civil and criminal code according to
his views were drawn up by eminent men, and he
established an equal system of taxation. He finally
proposed to the legislative body a law creating the
order of the Union and that of Merit. To his quali-
ties, as a statesman and a Sovereign, he added a
noble character for humanity. In 1807 a barge
loaded with gunpowder blew up at Leyden, and
caused dreadful disasters. The King hastened to the
spot, and assisted the sufferers. The persons who
sustained losses were by his order exempted from all
taxes for ten years. In an inundation of the Gueldre,
the King, although ill at the time, rushed to the as-
sistance of the people, and exposed himself to immi-
nent danger in the example he gave to others to exert
themselves for the sufferers. The benevolence
which he listened to all the complaints that were
made to him endeared him to his subjects; but
what inspired them with most veneration
was the humanity that he displayed in the
village of Arle, in exposing himself volun-
tarily to the effects of a contagious malady in
order to give succour to the inhabitants. The love
of Louis for his Dutch subjects was such that he re-
fused without hesitation the Crown of Spain when
offered to him by the Emperor. It having been re-
solved by Napoleon to establish his continental
system, an order was given for the sequestration of
all English merchandise, which would have the effect
of destroying the commerce of Holland. Louis, from
a sense of duty to his subjects, long resisted the com-
mands of the Emperor, and Marshal Oudinot, at the
head of an army of 20,000 men, was sent into Holland
to enforce the continental blockade. The King then,
finding that he was unable to protect the interests of
the Dutch nation, abdicated in favour of his son.
The abdication was rejected by the Emperor, and by
a decree dated the 9th of July, 1810, Holland was
united to the empire. The ex-King left Haarlem
secretly, and went to Gratz, in Styria, where he re-
sided three years, under the title of Count de Saint
Leu. He had refused a brilliant apanage, and or-
dered his. wife to resist all assistance from the
Emperor for himself and his children. In 1813,
when the united forces of Europe appeared to be
on the point of falling upon France, Louis offered
his services to the Emperor, by whom they were ac-
cepted. He proceeded to Switzerland, but, notwith-
standing the answer he received from the Emperor,
remained there unoccupied. When Holland threw off
the French yoke, Louis, who was then at Soleure,
addressed to the Provisional Government a letter, as-
serting his claims to the throne, but they were op-
posed by the Allied Powers. The Count de Saint
Leu finally retired to the Papal states with some mem-
bers of his family. In his retreat he devoted himself
chiefly to literature. He was the author of the
following works:—"Marie, ou les Hollandaises,"
" Documens Historiques sur la. Hollande," "Me-
moires sur la Versification," an opera and a tragedy,
a collection of poems, and a reply to Sir Walter Scott
on his history of Napoleon. The ex-King was an
advocate for the abolition of capital punishment. "A
King," said he, "owes to God, to !posterity; and to
the nation, an account of all the persons in subjection
to him." He died at Leghorn, on the 25th of June,
1846, leaving a request that his body and that of his
son, who was killed at Forli in 1831, in the disturb-
ances of Romagna, reight be taken to France, and
buried at Saint Leu with the remains of his fatter and
his first son, which lie there.

young woman, who gave information to the police. Mr.
Superintendent Hickey having obtained satisfactory in-
formation, proceeded to Messrs. Harrison's factory, at
Mill Brook, where he learned that the men were at work.
Having, along with a number of his officers, succeeded
in getting into the warehouse without their knowledge,
they were each sent for and immediately secnred. Their
names are Thwaite, Sidebottom, Higgins, Hayes, Swal-
