This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, or enables them to secure a considerable
bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on Indian risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables,
exclusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true
risk of life during residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service.

TO THOSE INTERESTED IN BRITISH SHIP-
PING, AND THE WELFARE OF SEAMEN
IN GENERAL.
The following has been received at Lloyd's from Cap-
tain W. Barnes, R.N.
CALDY ISLAND AND ROADS. —I would venture to
suggest that it is extremely desirable that a marine store
be established at the island of Caldy, from which the nu-
merous ships seeking refuge in the roads during southerly
gales may be supplied with gear and provisions. During
the last winter I witnessed the greatest distress from the
want of such a resource. I have seen from my window 47
sail at a time, many of them of large tonnage, and some
foreigners

for
gale,six
weeks, and the whole of that time in imminent danger,
and wholly without the necessary supplies. Many drove
from their anchors, and three large vessels were lost—.
two foreigners with sugar and coffee, and a coasting brig
laden with coals—one of the former a Hamburgher, lies a
wreck at this moment in Tenby Harbour. Many others
met the same fate on the opposite side of Carmarthen bay.
" The wind, which forces a vessel to seek an asylum
under the lee of Caldy, mostly blows too roughly to admit
of any assistance from Tenby ; it is an adverse wind, even
for getting the supplies of provision. But in the hour of
distress, where life and property are at stake, it is next to
impossible that relief can be obtained from Tenby; where-
as, from Caldy, the wind is favourable for promptly putting
on board the too-often required anchor and cable, and a
pilot to change the vessel's berth, if improperly anchored.
Lloyd's list of last year will unfortunately hear me out in
saying, had such a desirable depot as I suggest been in ex-
istence at Caldy, many lives and much valuable property
would have reached their destined port in safety. I would also
suggest, with deference, to the,Trinity Board, that in order to
provide for the bettersecurity of the shipping on this station,
a branch pilot and crew should also locate at Caldy, for, I
would observe, that whemverthere is a lighthouse considered
necessary for the guidance of the mariners, s 3 (there being a
roadstead in its immediate vicinity), are the services of the
pilot much required. In order to render those services
efficient, a man should be posted at the lighthouse station
(or one of the men in charge of the lighthouse should be
encouraged, by holding out a reward) to keep a good look
out for ships making signals for a pilot or distre.s, that a
flag-staff should be erected, and flags supplied, in order
that the look-out man may repeat the signal, and, if ne-
cessary, with a gun, thereby reviving the hopes and ener-
gies of the almost worn-out seaman, and conveying at the
same time the necessary information to the pilot and life-
boat, that they are promptlywanted.
" I would also suggest that an application be made to
u
the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life
from Shipwreck; patroness, the Queen ; for life-boats to
be stationed in these waters, leaving the selection of other
pilots in the bay of Carmarthen to a superior judgment
than mine; but strongly recommending that one be at all
times , availablePenaley,gales.

in the Caldy Roads.
" Some such arrangement, under proper management,
would afford the assistance that vessels wind bound and in
distress are constantly in need of in Caldy Roads. The
cause of humanity cries out for their speedy adoption, and
the interest of the community renders this absolutely ne-
ccasary. These arrangements being promulgated, Caldy
Roads would for the future be sought after as a place of
refuge, under the assurance that every casualty, as far as
possible, would be provided for. Caldy Island is private
property. The proprietor would, no doubt, readily enter
into the plan of a marine store for his own interest, as he
would reap a plentiful harvest during these (for him)

ANTIQUITY.—We have been favoured with the
impression of an old silver seal, that has been in the Custom
House at Hartlepool from time immemorial. It bears a crown
surmounted by twofleurs delis, and in a circle is the following
inscription :—S: HARTLEPOOLE. MEM: DE. P: N:
CASTRI. S: RYNE.—" The Seal of Hartlepool, a branch
of the port of Newcastle-upon-Tyne."—Perhaps some of our
01dbucks may be able to furnish us with the probable age of
this relic of the olden time.—Sunder!ed Herald.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—When the Maid of
Erin was on her passage from Cove on Wednesday evening, a
young woman leaped overboard at Blackrock, and was with
difficulty saved, having been over a quarter of an hour in the
water. She was subsequently lodged in Bridewell for safety.
She gave her name as Catherine Roche, and that she was a na••
tive of Fermoy. She states that she was servant to Mrs.
Kelly, who was residing at Cove for the benefit of the salt water,
and having had a difference with a fellow servant, she quitted
her place without the knowledge of her mistress, went into the
steamer to proceed to this city, and there formed the determi-
nation of destroying herself, which she still regrets she did not
accomplish. The poor creature seems to suffer under some
mental affliction. —Cork Southern Reporter.
DERBY JUNCTION AND MIDLAND COUN-
TIES RAILWAYS.—The fight between these lines commenced
on Wednesday, the day on which the latter was opened to the
public. The Derby Junction lowered their fares for first-class
passengers from Bs. to 2s. It is calculated that if the Midland
Counties Company reduce theirs in the same proportion, it will
diminish their recipts at least 50,0001. a year.—hallway Ma-

was, to do away with the presoent
em_catice of appointing clergy-

cons'cleration the propriety. of applying to the Government for
the appointment of a Stipendiarye
llagistrate. After stating
evidently to a willing audience, evils of the present system,
Mr. Little made the following motion :—" That it be referred
to the committee for general purposes to consider the propriety
of applying to the Secretary of Statet for the appointment or a
Stipandiary Magistrate, and rerr senerally thereon to the
Council at their earliest convenience.' A lengthened discus-
sion took place, and on a division, the motion was carried by a
majority of 10, there being 16 for it, and 6 against it.
CURIOUS PHENOMENON.—An unknown cor-
respondent, whom we should guess by the handwriting to be a
lady, calls our attention to what she calls a 44 curious pheno-
menon." She observes, that in several places of worship in
this town, no sooner does the congregation, in singing, arrive
at the repetition of the last couplet of a hymn, than at least one
half of them (robust men, as well as delicate females), are
seized with a sudden feebleness of knee, and languidly sink
down into their seats. The most " curious" part of the
" phenomenon" seems to be, that the length of the hymn makes
no difference whatever ; whether one verse is sung, or twenty,
the result is always precisely the same ; the conclusion of the
she
(which ought to be choral) is left to the lungs of one-
half of the congregation, while the other seem to think they do
their duty in listening with exceeding self-complacency to the
Tool efforts of their d
oputiet,—Sunderland fierald.
