there would be paid more than double the amount of the original
Insurance. Members hare 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 reduction in future Premiums ; and in
the case of all of the early Insurances, the Bonuses have for some
years back boon 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 lye increased an in-
creasing Policies.

held by them in their own rigkt, to the extent of nine-tenths of their
value.

port Is a preparation of unparalleled efficacy in purifying the Skin,
protecting it from the baneful effects of inclement weather, and suf-
fusing the complexion with transcendent brilnancy ; and ROW-
LANDS' ODUNTO or PEARL DENTIFRICE is invaluable fur its
preservative and beautifying effects on the Teeth and Gums. No

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

John Young was brought before Alderman Hum-
phery upon suspicion of having robbed a gentleman
of his watch, &c. The person who was stated to
have been plundered did not appear, but the Alderman
having learned that a cab was the scene of the robbery,
determined to make a particular inquiry into the
case.

Thomas Mills, cab-driver, 2,321, Laid that about
I three or four o'clock on Saturday morning, while he
was on the stand in the Strand, looking out for cus-
tomers from M. Jullien's masquerade at Drury-lane
Theatre, down bundled five or six gentlemen, some
of whom got inside and some outside. They desired
him to drive to Mile end road, and were all evi-
dently ripe for a spree; so off he drove. Before,
however, he got to the extremity of Cornhill, the head
of one of them came bounce through the glass, and
bawled for a policeman. The policeman cause, and
the gentleman who had invited hildgave the prisoner
in charge for stealing the watch. Toat was all he
knew about the business.
Alderman Humpunnr—ls the prisoner one of the
persons who were in the cab? Cabman—That I
don't know. The night was dark, you see, Sir, I'm
sure I couldn't see.
Alderman HUMPLIERY—But there was gaslight in
Cornhill, was there not ? and I dare say there was gas-
light in the Strand ? was there not ? Cabman--Yes,
your Worship, I should say there were; but then, you
see, they was all in confusion getting in and upon the
cab. We cabmen's accustomed to this sort of thing.
['all-a-dozen gentle-men will sometimes get in a cab,
and half-a-dozen outside—first-rate swells, I do assure
you, and then we all cut along with cigars in our
mouths, every man of us.—(Laughter.)
Alderman Humpuenr —And what did you de with
time gentleman ? Cabman—After he gave charge of
the prisoner I drove him home to Wellington-
square, Mile-end.
Alderman HUMMTERY—And you don't know
whether the prisoner had been with him in the cab ?
Cabman No. It was no business of mine ; the gen-
tleman paid me.
Alderman HumpnEar—And it was no business of
yours whether the gentleman was robbed or not ?
Cabman—Not a bit of it. We have nothing to do
with that ; that's the gentleman's business.
Alderman HUMPHERY—A very respectable sample
of a cabman you are.
Cabman—Why, your Worship, I • hope I am like
the rest.—(Laughter.)
Alderman HUMPLIERY—WeII, I shall further in-
vesigate this robbery on Tuesday next.
Remanded.
Josiah Thompson was committed for stealing
some valuable skins out of a cart in which he was
accommodated with a seat by the driver, to whom he
was known. He sold the skins for 11/ 145., and he
assured the prosecutor that the distress of his family,
which, being large, required a large sum of money to
set them going, was the sole cause of his dishonesty.
The Loan MAYOR requested that the press would
kindly acknowledge his receipt of 101. from the Wor-
shipful Company of Fishmongers, 21. from "J. H. H."
per Goslings and Sharpe, and 65,, amount of a dis-
puted sum, for the poor-box.

He was committed to Newgate :on four charges.

THE SCHOOLBOY'S DREAM.
A JOKE FOE THE JUVENILES.
Not many days back, Mr. Archibald Sporn
Received a long note from his little son John.
This letter was penned in a singular style,
And doubtless will cause my young readers to smile.
The epistle runs thus :--
"Dear Papa and Mamma,
I'm happy to hear you're so well as you are;
The thoughts of returning (though strange it may seem(,
Have caused your delighted boy, Johnny, to dream.
Methought t'other night that you gave a fine party,
And hailed my return in a manner most hearty.
The party invited consisted of many ;
Tom, Harry, and Alick, and Percival Penny ;
And William, and Thomas, and Philip, and Frank,
And Master Mat Middleton, all on the prank ;
• And Vichael, and Montague, Charley, and Fred,
And Alfred the small, with the curls on his head;
And Joseph, and Sammy, and Jessie,
And Master George Gordon, remarkably dressy;
And Walter, and Willoughby, Tdus, and Tim,
And Samson and Simon, in vary good trim ;
And Julius, Anthony, Robert, and Wat,
Aid many more names which I fear l've forgot.
And inethought in my singular dream there were none
But what were decked out by E. Moses and Son.
Such elegant tunics, such stylish hussars,
We looked like the galaxy studded with stars.
And methonght we shouted with glorious noise,
E. Moses and Son are the men for the hoys.
No doubt after this Messrs. Moses-will don
Your very affectionate Son, JOHNNY SPONN."

Notice—The Fur Department is new replete with every novelty
of the season.

Henry Howard was brought before Mr. Bingham,
charged with having served a spurious copy of a writ
OA Etienne Feuil6e fur fraudulent purposes.
The complainant said he lived in Albany-street,
Regent's park. On Thursday last he was served with
what appeared to be a copy of a writ for 341. As he
owed no one such a sum of money he was much sur-
prised at the occurrence, and he took the paper into
the city and showed it to a legal person. Ho was
then informed that the copy of a writ was a sham
document, and advised him how to act. The next
day a man called on him and told him that the person
who had served him with the pretended writ was at a
neighbouring public-house. Complainant went to
the public-house, and there saw the prisoner, and
asked him how he came to serve him with a writ for
341, when he did not owe him a farthing. The pri-
soner answered, "You must see my solicitor, and he
will make you know all about it." Complainant
then gave the prisoner into the custody of a police-
constable.

Thomas Kays, of 99, Orchard-street, said he was
present when the complainant asked the prisoner if
he was the person who had served him with a copy of
a writ for 341. To the best of witness's recollection,
the prisoner replied he was. The prisoner was then
asked for the name of his solicitor, and he answered
it was on the writ. When the writ was examined
no solicitor's name was found on it.

In defence, the prisoner admitted that the com-
plainant WAS not indebted to him in any money at all.
Mr. BINGHAM, being of opinion that some fraud
was intended on the complainant, remanded the pri-
soner, in order to give time for inquiry.
CLERKENWELL.
Abraham Weston, a middle-aged man, an orna-
mental painter, residing at 7, Colonnade, Brunswick-
square, was charged in the police sheet with having
assaulted and beaten his wife, whereby her death was
caused.

Caution.—E. Moses and Son regret having to guard the public
against imposition; but baying heard that the untradesmanlike
falsehood of being connected with them, or " It is the same concern,"
has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons,
hey beg to state that thoy have no connexion with any other house

Sarah Ann Coney, having been sworn, said that
she was sister to the deceased, and resided in the
same house with the prisoner and the deceased, who
died on Wednesday last, at three o'clock. On last
Wednesday week, between eleven and twelve o'clock,
the prisoner went out, leaving the deceased without
any money or food, when witness gave her
some tea. He returned home at nine o'clock
at night, when he complained of being hun-
gry. The deceased went out, and brought
him some coffee and bacon, &c., which he ate.
On the next morning she, was in the same apart-
ment with them, when the prisoner had his baby, 16
months old, on his knee. The deceased was sugaring
her tea, when he called her a b----- w-. She
replied, "If I am, you are eating the produce of it."
He kept throwing the hot tea in the deceased's face,
when she threw a mugful of tea over him. He im-
mediately rose up with the child on his right arm,
and kept hitting her on the throat, under her
ear, with his left clinched fist. The deceased had no
left hand, which was a natural deformity. Ho hit
her on the throat about a dozen times. Witness got
up and interfered to protect the deceased. She hap-
pened to have a knife in her hand at the time, which
she pointed at the prisoner, and it deterred him
from continuing his blows. He then went down
stairs with the child, and returned again in about
three minutes, when he told witness that she only
had one quarter of an hour to prepare herself; he
had seen a policeman, and he was coming
up to turn her out. The deceased was cry-
ing, and holding her throat where the prisoner had
struck her. Ile then went out, and came back
at about three o'clock in the afternoon, when the
deceased was washing; and he called witness and
deceased a couple of lazy w--, and heaped other
abuse upon them. They remonstrated with him, and
he threatened to turn witness out. He subsequently
seized her by the hair of her head and her wrists, and
dragged her along the room. She struggled with
him and he tried to bite her. She begged of him to
desist, when he threw her into the passage with great
violence. He again seized her by the hair of her
head, and attempted to throw her down the stairs.
The inmates of the house were alarmed, and came to
her assistance, and through their interference and
remonstrances he desisted from further violence. On
the following morning the deceased became very
sick, lost her reason, and ultimately died.
Mrs. Ann Geary, a lodger in the same house, cor-
roborated this evidence, and repeated a series of
brutal treatment by the prisoner towards the de-
ceased and the last witness. On the 17th ult. she
was alarmed by a noise and the cries of " Murder !"
and when she proceeded upstairs she saw him drag-
ging his wife (deceased) and her sister by the hair
of their heads on the landing place, and he was
beating them violently. He complained that his wife
was dirty. Witness told him he had no right to
ill-use her in the way he was doing. The following
day witness was alarmed by the deceased's crying
and screaming. She again went upstairs,
and saw him hitting her on the neck. He said, " If
it was not for this child what would I not give you."
Witness said, " No, you won't, for I will fetch a
policeman." He then left off his violence. The next
day the deceased became very ill and weak, and then t
expired. The house was constantly in a state of
confusion and alarm in consequence of the prisoner's
ill-usage of the deceased.
Mrs. Mary Mack, another lodger in the house,
gave similar testimony. She repeatedly heard cries
of " Murder" and calls for assistance from the de-

Mr. COMM asked the prisoner if he wished to
question the witnesses ? He did question them, but
their evidence remained unshaken.
Bennett, a beadle of St. Pancras, here said that, in
consequence of information of the death of the woman
and the treatment she had received, he communicated
with Mr. Wakley, the coroner, who issued his precep t.

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, qnestionahly contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
'4ltterthe 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
and. social content. The dowry should not be the wnly marriage set-
tlement. Honour andjusticedemend that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or mietortune. Reader, if

for a coroner's jury, which was held on Saturday
evening, at the Guildford Arms, Guildford-street,
Brunswick square, when they returned a verdict
" that the deceased died through congestion of the
brain, she having on several occasions been cruelly
beaten by her husband."
Sergeant Graysmark, No, 8, E division, said that
after the verdict was returned he was directed by the
coroner to proceed immediately and apprehend the
prisoner, and charge him before a magistrate, and he
(witness) accordingly took him into custody, and
locked him up until that morning.
Mr. Mallett, the clerk, said there were two distinct
charges against the prisoner—that of assaulting and
beating his wife, and also assaulting the girl Coney,
her sister. The former might either amount to assault
or murder.
Mr. CoCIBE asked Coney how she maintained
herself ?
The unfortunate creature, who is lame, and sup-
ports herself on a crutch, burst into tears, and said
she lived with her sister (the deceased). Her father
was on a sick bed in the workhouse of St. Clement's,
from which place she received a trifling sum per
week.
Mr. COMBE inquired whether any doctor had been
examined at the inquest.
He was answered in the affirmative.
He said he should remand the prisoner for tie
attendance of the doctor to give his evidence.
The prisoner was then conveyed to prison.

Yesterday James Walsh and James Crawley, two
ill-looking fellows, were brought before Mr. A'l3eckett,
charged with breaking into the house of Mr. William
Cape, in the Cornwall road, Lambeth.
The complainant stated that between three and
four o'clock that morning, during the storm of wind
and rain that visited the metropolis, he was awakened
by his wife, who informed him that she suspected
thieves had got into the house. He immediately
jumped out of bed, and having hastily dressed him •
self, he found on looking at the chamber-door that
an attempt had het-n made to force it open during
the height of the storm. His conjectures on the
subject were soon confirmed ; for on proceeding
to the first landing•place he discovered the window
open, and on looking out distinctly saw two men
in the act of clambering over a high wall
which separates his back premises from a
timber-yard. lie lost no time in giving the
alarm, and some time after wards ha was
sent for to the police-station, where he saw the pri-
soner:, in custody, one of whom (Walsh) had no shoes
on, while his companion had but one on his right
foot. The complainant added that, upon subsequent
examination of his house, and after hying ascertained
that an entry had been effe,cted through the back
staircase w indow, he found a pair of bouts and an odd
one in a corner on the stairs, and that he afterwards
saw them fitted on the prisoners.
Policeman 178 L stated that at the time mentioned,
hearing the alarm of thieves being in the complainant's
house, he at once went round to the timber-yard, and
after a good deal of searching about he at length suc-
ceeded in securing Walsh, crouched up behind a pile
of timber. He pretended to be asleep, and being
ss ithout anything on his feet, when asked the
reason, he said that in the early part of the night,
having fallen asleep in one of the boxes of a
coffee-shop, his boots were stolen, and he added
that, being disgusted with such a barefaced
robbery, he quitted the place, and afterwards got into
the timber-yard, to sleep till morning. lie declared
that he knew nothing about the burglary in the
complainant's house. The other prisoner was taken
into custody some time afterwards in an adjoining
yard, and when secured he had only one boot on, and
accounted for the loss of the other by saying that it
stuck in the mud as he was crossing a field.
Evidence having been adduced that the prisoners
were both bad characters and the constant associate of
thieves, they were committed.
