MEETING of the Proprietors of this Company will be held at the
Company's Office, 69, Lombard-street, on TUESDAY, the 23d hist.,

DISEASED AND HEALTHY LIVES ASSURED.

MEDICAL, INVALID, and GENERAL LIFE
OFFICE, 25, PALL-MALL, LONDON, and 22, NASSAU-
3TREET, DUBLIN. .

Subscribed Capital, 500,0001.

This office was established in 1841, and possesses tables formed on
a scientific basis for the assurance of diseased lives.

The urgent necessity for such an institution may be estimated by
the fact that two-thirds of the population are not assurable as
healthy lives, and that about one in five of the applicants to other
offices is declined on examination.

And that during the period of five years, as shown at the Annual
General Meeting of Proprietors in November last, upwards of 2,000
proposals had been made to the Society, covering Assurances to
above One Minion.

It is the only Company possessing tabulated rates of premium for
disease deduced from extensive data.
Increased annuities are granted on Unsound Lives.
HEALTHY LIVES, both at Home and in Foreign Climates, are
tssured with as much facility and at lower rates than at most other
offices; and a capital of Half•a-Million sterling fully subscribei
affords a complete gu rantee for the fulfilment of the Company's
engagements.

London, or Samuel Smith and Co., Bankers, Nottingham, in the

of aiding in the above laudable cause, will apply to him for them.

ECONOMICAL COOKERY.
THE POOR MAN'S SOUP, OR SOUP FOR THE
MILLION.
In this season of unexampled distress in Ireland, my
attention has been anxiously directed to effect an object
which appears to me to be of some importance, namely,
that of making a good nourishing soup at a very cheap
rate; and, if the opinion of numbers may be trusted, I
have the satisfaction to know that my efforts have been
successful, and that a wholesome and nutritious soup can
be made at an expense of about twopence for each
gallon, or one halfpenny per quart, even at the present
high prices of the articles of which it is composed. One
quart of this soup, with a slice of good household bread,
would form n,) despicable meal. This soup is of the sim
pleat kind, and is so easily managed that a child can pre-
pare it—its ingredients are in common use, and of ac-
knowledged value as articles of food—it requires little
time and fuel, and is nearly as soon made as a pot of
potatoes is boiled, and will keep perfectly good several
days, if required. I have used it myself—l have given
it to my children—we all like it. I have also dispensed
it to a number of persons, who have expressed their ap-
probation of it.

This soup would, in my opinion, add a comfort to the
cabin in ordinary seasons, even when the potato was
abundant; but the loss of this vegetable, and the conse-
quent scarcity, will, if I mistake not, materially enhance
its value. This soup is composed of Swedish turnips
(grated), barley ground whole with all the bran, pepper,
salt, and water.
Estimate of the expense of one gallon of the soup, and
the method of making it:-
2 lbs. grated turnip
} lb. of barley meal, ground whole with the bran 4
Pepper and salt
4 quarts of water —2d.
Add the grated turnip and meal to the cold water in
the pot over the fire, well mix the whole, stir occa-
sionally, and boil for about thirty minutes • a little more
time may be necessary, if the turnip is of inferior qua.
lity; season with salt and pepper; the turnip is nearly
as easily grated as cut into small pieces. Strong graters
made at my suggestion can be had at Mr. Daniel's,
Grafton-street, and Mr. Maguire's, Dawson•street, for
sixpence each. One grater, if required, would answer
for two or three families. The turnip can be readily
grated by small children, and will keep good in this state
for a number of days. Mechanics in very remote or
poor districts could make their own graters. A sheet of
strong tin plate, sufficient for two graters, would cost
only threepence. It is, perhaps, scarcely necessary to
add, that the soup would be improved in flavour by onions
or shallot, &c., cut small, and that it would be rendered
more nutritious by bruised bones, a bit of meat, a little
fresh or salt fish, &c., but any such additions would of
course increase its price. Oatmeal, too, or pottneal,

iOHONER'S INQUESTS ON TWO WOOLWICH' CON-
VlCTS.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Ordnance
Arms, Woolwich, before C. J. Carttar, Esq., on the bodies
of William Abbott, aged 27, convicted at Buckingham, in
July, 1843, and sentenced to fourteen years' transportation,
and William Wallington, aged 54, who was convicted at
Worcester in July, 1843, and sentenced to seven years'
transportation. The jury proceeded to view the bodies,
which lay in the dead-house in the Arsenal. After this they
went on board the Justitia convict hulk, and inspected the
food, testing both its quality and weight. They also asked
some of the prisoners whether they had any complaints to
make, and they replied in the negative. At the request of the
jury, the dietary table was produced, and read by the co-
roner, who remarked that it was superior to the dietary ta-
bles of any union he had seen. The table was as follows :
On Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, the allowance
was 14i ounces of beef, a pint of soup, 11b. of bread, 4 ounces
of biscuit, and 2 pinta of gruel. On Monday, Wednesday,
sad Friday ,4 ounces of cheese and 1 pint of table ale were
substituted for the meat and soup, the other articles remain-
ing the same. Then returned the inquest room, and the first
witness called was Mr. Bossey, the surgeon of the establish.
ment, who merely spoke to the identity of the deceased. The
Coroner then addressed Mr. Bossey, and said that he had
consulted with the jury, and without at all reflecting upon
him in the remotest degree, or being otherwise than satisfied
with the evidence he had given on former occasions, still
they wanted to place the matter so clearly before the public,
and to exculpate him, if possible, in the clearest and best
manner, that they had requested him to make a post mortem
examination, in company with some medical gentleman whom
he (the Coroner) would send down. The examination would
be his (Mr. Bossey's) own, and, if necessary, the other me-
dical gentleman would be examined as to the medical treat-
ment. What had transpired in public had created such ex-
citement that it was requisite to have the fullest investiga-
tion. Mr. Bossey said, that with reference to what had been
stated as to the treatment of the men in the House of Com-
mons, he could only say, that an inquiry was going on at
the present moment by the authorities, and he himself was
desirous that the very fullest and fairest inquiry should be
entered into, not only as regarded the past, but also the pre-
sent treatment of the prisoners. He believed that the more
the matter was searched into, the more unjustifiable the
charges would be fund. They had originated with a convict
on board the Justitia, and had found their way through some
channel to a place, where, had they been sifted, their false-
hood would have been at once detected. The inquiry was
then adjourned for the postmortem examination.

A letter from Ratisbon, 29th ult., states that the son
of the President of Cracow, the young Haller, made his
escape the preceding day from the prison of that town. It
will be remembered that he took part in the Polish insur-
rection, and was arrested in a Prussian diligence with several
thousand dialers in his possession, which were delivered up
to the Government. He had been allowed to take exercise
in the environs of the town, attended by one of the keepers,
and it was during one of these excursions that he got away.
It is announced that the railroad from Amiens
to Abbeville will b..: opened to the public on the Ist of next
month.

PORTUGUESE BONDHOLDERS.
The following is a translation of a letter,' dated the 30t.L
tilt., addressed to the chairman of the committee of Portu•
guese bondholders by the. Finance Minister of Portugal
" Ministry of the Financial Department, .
JAIL 30, 1847.
Illustrions Senor,—The Government of her Most Faithful
Majesty having bad under its consideration the provisions
contained in the fourth' article of the decree of the 21st of
August, 1846, by which it was ordaiEe I that the interest of
the external funded debt due in the financial year 1846-47
should be subjected to the deduction of two decimas and
which has been represented as being incompatible with the
terms contained in the bonds on the loans contracted with
the external creditors; the Government have thought it
their bounden duty to propose to her Majesty the Queen
the revocation of the fourth article of the said decree; and
her Majesty, whose greatest solicitude is to maintain invio-
lable the conditions of the con!racts referred to, and con-
sidering, moreover, the justice of the complaint made by the
foreign creditors against the imposition of two decimas on the
said interest, has been pleased to approve the above pro-
position of her Ministers, ordaining by a decree of yesterday's
date (a copy of which is enclosed) the revocation of the
fourth article aforesaid, and acknowledging the right of the'
holders of the coupons due on the Ist inst., and paid with a
deduction of two decima.s, to an indemnification correspond-
ing thereto, and to be reimbursed as opportunities offer, ac-
cording to the circumstances of the Treasury. Thus the re-
presentation which you addressed to her Majesty's Govern-
ment on the 20th of September last, in your capacity of
chairman to the Committee of Per.u.ouse Bondholders, you
will consider as being replied to, and I trust you will not
fail to give due credit to the justice and right intentions of
the said Government, who for many considerations fully ap-
preciate the services rendered by the foreign creditors to the
constitutional cause and to the throne of her Majesty Donna
Maria the Second.
