DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, nu only to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.
1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d. : 3941. I Is. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 466/. at death.
2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
:und always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
ease of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,
praspectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at the office of the
Society, by etter or otherwise, 26, Cornhill, London, or at

7'o THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—With feelings of disgust, commingled with
strong sensations of pity, I read the remarkable narra-
tion in your paper of Tuesday last, relative to the burial
of the infant at Dover.
What sentiment but disgust could be produced in
any upright mind at the yielding and servile conduct of
the Wesleyans? Have they not, by this ill-becoming
procedure, acknowledged the imperious and insolent
behaviour of the so-called parish priest, to be just and
equitable ? Have they not recorded an ignoble pre-
cedent for any domineering ecclesiastic to follow and
with triumph point to? Have they not laid themselves
under a ban to go through any amount of suffering, in-
dividually and collectively, in any part of the kingdom ?
If they had gone so far in purchasing a zinc coffin, and li
keeping the body therein so long, why by this act say
their previous conduct was contumacious, and they
therefore now repent ? Why not, with their usual
liberality, find at their own expense a burial-place else-
where? Of what use is their committee, appointed for
preserving their privileges, if they give up so easily
their accustomed privilege of burial in a parish church.
yard ? And of what advantage will this committee
be, between this and the giving of judgment by Sir H.
Jenner.in a similar case, if they thus so negligently and
comments
inattentively perform their office ?

Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very, moderate means to attain these objects hitherto
confined to the more wea.thy, viz. :-
Ist. Insuris.g their lives in sums from 51. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Week.y
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divides into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 201. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.
The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.

loss of French influence abroad, cited Spain and
Switzerland as countries in which the French Go-
vernment enjoyed credit and consideration. The
Commerce turns on M. Guizot, and asks bim
if he approves of the revolution directed by Espar-
tero—if he applauds it, sympathises with it, and
views it as an event favourable to the system which
governs France ? This is a home question, it being
notorious that the revolution is not only not to the taste
of the Government of Louis Philippe, but that Chris-
tina is the victim of the French counsels, to which she
has lent but tno ready an ear. We assume that M.
G.uizot by no means approves of the departure from the
Estatuto Real, and that he is really apprehensive that
the movement, in a democratical direction in Spain,
will be too rapid. But then we know that he is a man
of sense, and we assume also that he must be
aware of the folly of disturbing neighbouring
nations, because their institutions may not square
with the theory of statesmen in another. We know
that, when a certain course is determined on, what-
ever it may be, there is nothing so easy as to
find plausible reasons for it. When a state wishes to
interfere in the affairs of another, the usual pretext is
necessity of preventing the spread of anarchy, &c.
Austria put down the revolution in Naples, because a
successful revolution in Naples might have led to a re-
volution in Lombardy. The French invaded Spain to
put down her revolution, on the same plea of danger
from neighbourhood. But prudence teaches, that as
there are times and seasons for everything, so there are
times and seasons for inter!erence with the affairs of a
neighbouring nation. There was no want of incli-
nation to interefere with France after the three days
of July; but prudence suggested the expediency of
remaining passive. Neither was there any want of in-
clination to assist the King of the Netherlands to keep
down the Belgians. But the French sympathy with
the Belgians rendered it prudent to put the doctrines
of interference once more in abeyance. We will not
contest with M. Guizot the proposition, that there are
precedents of interference not one whit more justifiable
than would be an interference at present with Spain.
But precedents ought not to weigh a rusk against pru-
dence. The invasion of 1823 by France took place in
spite of the protest of Mr. Canning. But the question
which M. Guizot has to ask himself is, not what
France did in 1823, but what she can safely attempt
in 1840 ?

THE LATE STORM.

COLCHESTER.—On Friday last the village of Lexden
was visited with a most terrific hurricane from the S. W.
by S. Between one and two o'clock a dark narrow cloud
was seen to descend over the village, when a thick blue
haze appeared, which was succeeded by a deep hollow
sound, like the roaring of distant thunder ; in a few
seconds it was followed by a storm of hail, accom-
panied by a tornado, the effects of which were most
frightful. It commenced its ravages at the Southern
extremity of Miss Papillon's Park, severely damaging
two houses. It then took its course in an oblique di-
rection across to Mr. Mills's Park, blowing down fourteen
►arge timber trees, and in several instances raised from ten
to fifteen tons of earth with the roots. Other large trees
were literally shattered to atoms, and scarcely a tree in the
park escaped damage. In Mr. Mills's park nearly thirty
large trees are torn up by the roots, and three times that
number are so shattered that they must be taken down.
The hurricane crossed the road in the centre of the village,
blowing down an immense elm tree in front of the man-
sion of John De Horne, Esq. The tree fell across the
road, and smashing the front and windows of Mr.
De Horne's mansion, knocked in a great part of the
roof. A large elm tree, in the latter gentleman's
plantation, which was blown down, fell upon the
stable, and smashed in the roof. In Mr. De Horne's
plantation forty-eight of the largest trees arc blown down,
others are snapped asunder ups% ards of twenty feet from
the ground, and the whole plantation has the appearance
of its being cannonaded, scarcely a tree having escaped.
The damage in the village of Lexden is estimated at
1,0001 It is somewhat remarkable that Mr. Mills's gar-
dener's house, which is situated in the very centre of the
spot, where the greatest destruction took place, is un-
touched, although thatched. Such a hurricane has not
been experienced since 1795. It did not last two minutes.
BOULOGNE, SATURDAY NIGHT.—It has blown a gale
here all day and last night—violent beyond experience.
A douanier was blown into the Lione and drowned about
one o'clock a.m. I can easily believe that the poor man
had been guilty of no neglect, for last night I saw his
brethren on the quays grasping the posts with their arms
to save them from the force of the tempest. There has
been a rumour all day of a Calais packet lost—l hope an
unfounded one ; but the English mail had not arrived at
the usual hour. Our fortifications are at a stand, and will
probably never be completed ; however, there are actually
six guns mounted, some say twelve, but four must be out
of sight.
SouTuArarlros.—We are happy to say the damage done
to the Southampton Ducks is not so extensive as was an-
ticipated, In the northern coffer-dam the work is resumed;
in the two others the masonry and piling will again be in
progress in the early part of next week, and active rues-
' sures are pursued for again excluding the water from the
close dock.—Hampshire Advertiser.

RICHIE V. WILSON.

This was an action for goods sold and delivered.
The plaintiff is a timber merchant, from whom a builder
named Sutton, residing; at Camberwell, obtained the
goods in question, for the building of houses, which he
hal undertaken upon a contract for the defendant. Io
taking the contract, Sutton stipulated, and Wilson agreed,
that the latter should pay for the timber and other
material in ready money, from time to time, as the
fornier required them, in order that the contractor
should have the advantage of obtaining cheap materials
for read) money price.
After Counsel on both sides had been heard at length,

the further hearing of the case was postponed to Thur:,,
day, and the Court rose at Four o'Clock.

WANDSWORTH PETTY SES.

SIONS.

(Thfore Mr. A. F. BAINBRIDGE.)
A butcher, named Russell, residing at Wandsworth,
ittended to answer a summons for using threatening
language to a gentler .aan named Smith, also residing at
Wandsworth, under rather peculiar circumstauces.
It appears that at the hate Quarter Sessions at Kings-
ton, a man named Chaundy being at Wandsworth,
preferred a charge against two labourers and a woman,
of having robbed and assaulted him on the highway ;
but the Grand Jury ignored the bill. Mr. Smith,
knowing the good character of the accused, and being
aware of the other circumstances of the case, instructed
Counsel on their behalf. Mr. Chaundy ultimately
preferred a charge of assault, which came on for trial,
and, upon his being cross-examined by Mr. Cham-
bers, he made some revolting admissions as to
his conduct towards women, and in reference
to his own daughters ; and, on the part of the
defence, it was stated that the assault had
been committed by the male defendants, in defence of
the female (the daughter of one of them), upon whom
Chaundy had comm:tted a most gross assault. All the
defendants, it appeared, bore a most excellent charac-
ter ; and the Jury, without a moment's hesitation, re-
turned a verdict of Not Guilty.
It appears that, in consequence of Mr. Smith's hu-
mane interference on behalf of these poor persons, a few
individuals connected with Chaundy have taken means
of annoying him in every possible way, and on Friday
night an attack was made upon him by several persons
in one of the inns of the town, and they attempted to
throw him into the river Wandle. A charge of assault,
arising out of this transaction, subsequently came before
the Magistrates, and as Mr. Smith was leaving the
office, after giving evidence, the present defendant
threatened that he would throw him into the river the
first opportunity ; and this being said in the presence of
the Magistrate, he advised Mr. Smith to take out the
summons which this day came on for hearing.
After evidence had been given, Mr. BAINBRIDGE or-
dered the defendant to enter into his own recognizances
in 401., and two sureties in 201. each to keep the peace
towards the complainant.

ARCHER V. ENGLISH AND WALKER.

This was an action brought by a solicitor, against
the assignees of a bankrupt, to recover the costs of
preparing the deed of assignment, &c. The Solicitor-
General obtained a rule nisi for a nonsuit, on the
ground that the resolutions of the meeting of creditors
were not sufficient proof of the liability of the two
defendants, and that proof ought to have been
given that the defendants were present at the meeting,
and that they recognised the plaintiff as the solicitor of
the creditors, and not, as they proved at the trial, the
solicitor of the bankrupt.
Mr. JARVIS' showed cause against the rule.
The COURT, without hearing the other side, decided
that the rule must be made absolute.

FOREIGN OFFICE, Nov. 17, 1810.

The Rig,ht Honourable the Viscount Palmerston,
her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, having received a despatch from Captain El-
hot, Chief Superintendent of British Trade in China,
dated the 24th of June, 1840, inclosing the copy of an
official notice, dated the 22d of the same month, issued
by Sir James John Gordon Bremer, C.B.
Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships end vessels
of war on the East India S:ation and Seas adjacent,
that a blockade of the river and port of Canton, by all
its entrances, would he established on and after the 28;11
of the said month of June : notice is hereby given, that
from and after the said time, all the measures authorised
by the Law of Nations and the respective treaties be-
tween her Majesty and the different Foreign Powers,
will be adopted and executed with respect to any vessels
which may attempt to violate the said blockade.
Captain Elliot has likewise transmitted a further
official notice, issued on the 22J of shine, 1840, by the
said Commander. in-Chief, stating that, wits a view to
the convenience of British and other Foreign merchant
ships resorting to the coast of China, in ignorance of
the blockade of the river and port of Canton, the
senior officer on that station had been instructed to per-
mit them to repair to, and remain at, any anchorages in
the (might; urhood of the port which he may see fit to
indicate from time to time and that, until further
notice, it was to he understood that the anchorages of
rendezvous for such purposes of convenience would be
Cap Suymoon and Macao Roads.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.
The Justice-room was very numerously attended
yesterday by gentlemen, in consequence of the appoint-
ment made by the Lord Mayor and Sir Peter Laurie,
to investigate a charge of receiving money under false
pretences, preferred by Mr. H. S. Chapman, barrister-
at-law, and Secretary to the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-
law Association in the Strand, against Mr. S. J. Byng,
calling himself Secretary to the National and Pro-
vincial Corn-law Board, No. 29, Tokenhouse-yard.
It will be recollected that Mr. Byng's scheme was,
towards the conclusion of the last Mayoralty, very com-
pletely exposed before Sir Chapman Marshall, and some
surprise was manifested since Saturday last, when the
parties appeared before Sir Peter Laurie, that there
should be occasion for further investigation into the
matter of complaint.
Alderman Brown, Sir Peter Laurie, and Sir Chap-
man Marshall, sat with the Lord Mayor. There were
present Mr. Warburton, M.P., Chairman of the Me-
tropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association ; Mr. Place,
Chairman of the Business Committee of the Associa-
tion ; Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Travers, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr.
Wilson, and several other gentlemen of the Committee
of the Association. A Counsel attended upon the part
of the defendant.
Mr. Chapman, after having made some observations
upon technical points started at the commencement by
Alderman Brown, stated that he brought the charge of
obtaining money under false pretences against Mr.
Byng at the instance of the Association. The false
pretences were partly set off in the sort of prospectus
which Mr. Byng
had issued, and partly shown by facts
which the evidence would disclose. In the paper, or
prospectus, the names of the gentlemen who constituted
the Committee of the Association were copied, as if
they sanctioned the proceedings of that person, and the
introductory matter was such as at the same time told
the truth and favoured the deception. It said, " The
following distinguished individuals, Members of Parlia-
ment, and other influential parties, have not only assisted
in this righteous cause, but are pledged to a continuance
of their powerful aid and support towards the accom-
plishment of this great national benefit." Then ap-
peared the high names of the Committee at the A6z,o-
elation, As if they formed the Committee of Mr. Byng's

before our readers I—
" The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty hav-

obtained at the several ports, in consequence of the
Baltic traders, whalers, and other ships having re-
turned, and requested that instructions may be given
to the officers of the Coast Guard on the coasts of
England and Wales, in the Friths of Forth and Clyde,
at Dundee, Montrose, Aberdeen, Cork, Waterford, and
Dublin, to use their best exertions to raise able and
ordinary seamen for the Royal Navy, on the terms and
regulations set forth in the instructions therein closed ;
and their Lordships having further requested that the
collectors and comptrollers of the revenue at the several
ports may be desired to give information to the chief
officers of Coast Guard, or to the officers in charge of
the rendezvous, where there is one near them, when-
ever they are of opinion that good seamen can be ob•
tained at any particular port ;
" Minute, Board of Customs, Nov. 11, 1840.—That
the officers of the Customs are desired to put them-
selves in communication with the principal officers of
the Coast Guard within their district, with a view of
giving effect to the intentions of the Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty."
