The produce markets were dull in America. In Lower

The Funds are very steady this morning, and there is
some business doing for transfer to-morrow. The dealers
having provided themselves with stock are inclined to
uphold the market, so that the public should pay the full
advance lately established. Consols have been 66k to
87i- for money, and 86k- to 87k for account.
The " making up" of the jobbers books commences
to-morrow, and upon the result depends the payment of
differences by bulls or bears. It might be concluded
that the recent speculation has been to establish a ba-
lance against the dealers for a rise, but an attempt will
be made, no doubt, to " carry over."

HAYMARKET THEATRE.
Saturday evening was the last night but one of the
sea-on. The performances were for the benefit of Mr.
Webster, and consisted of the unnatural and disagree-
able play of The Stranger and of The Wonder. Mrs.
Charles Kean was the Mrs. Haller, and was, as she al-
ways is, modest, pathetic, beautifully true to nature, and
most touching. Mr. Charles Kean was the Stranger,
and, he did for the character what no other actor in
our remembrance has been able to do for it,
he rescued it from contempt, by throwing more energy,
more passion, more of the sense of hate against, and
desire of revenge on the man who had wronged him,
than his predecessors had thrown into the part—thus
making of the Stranger a man smarting under a
keen sense of injury, and, therefore, to be re-
spected and soothed, rather than a maudlin
spiritless, contented wittol, who is to be despised or
kicked. The piece was very strongly cast. We had
Farren as Solomon, Keeley as Peter, Webster as
Francis, Mrs. Keeley as Charlotte, and—though last not
least—Miss P. Horton as the singing girl. Mr. and
Mrs. Kean, and Mr. Webster, were called for at the con-
clusion of the play, and received with enthusiastic
applause. After the play John Parry sung one of his
comic songs, and the comedy of the Wonder followed.
To-night, is the last night of the season. There will, how-
ever, be an extra night to-morrow evening, for the
benefit of Mr. F. Webster, the stage director. As this
gentleman is a member of the ancient and honour--
sble fraternity of Freemasons, we have no doubt
but that the brethren will muster in great force to
support him. We can promise them a rich treat. I❑
addition to the Haymarket and Adelphi companies, Mr.
F. Webster has secured the services of Mr. Sims
Reeves, and of a host of extraneous talent.

INSTITUTE OF ACTUARIES.
On Saturday last a large and important meeting of
gentlemen holding the influential and responsible offices
of actuari, s and secretaries, and managers to life office:,
was held in the board-room of the Guardian Assurance
Company, which had been most handsomely acceded by
the board of that respectable company, not only on the
present but previous occasions, for the purpose of forming,
an institute for the mutual advantage not only of those
gentlemen immediately engaged in the important duties
of conducting the affairs of life assurance generally, but,
in our opinion, of promoting our national prosperity,
which we avow life assurance to be a principal ingredient.
Some time ago a meeting was held, at which a com-
mittee was appointed to consider the practicability of
such a desirable union ; that committee prepared a re-
port, which was submitted to a general meeting on the
10th of June last, and underwent full discussion, the re-
sult of which was the appointment of another committee
of fifteen gentlemen to prepare a plan for carrying
out the same, and the meeting on Satui da)
was convened to receive the report of these
gentlemen ; and we need hardly remark that holm the
,silent and experience brought into operation on the oc-
casion, that the plan was marked by the most censum-
mate skill and deep reasoning. It was, indeed, a perfect
masterpiece of judgment, completely proving that no
thing but first-rate talent (not mere mechanism) can
satisfy the requirements of life-assurance conductors.
The meeting was attended by sixty-one gentlemen,
among whom was the veteran, J. Finlayson, Esq., the
Government Actuary, and the following gentlemen from
Scotland :—James Watson, Esq., Scottish Provident;
Henry Thomson, Esq., North British; H. D. Dickie,
Esq., Caledonia; John Fraser, Life Assurance of Scot-
land; Peter Ewart, Standard; Robert Christie, Scottish
Equitable; G. W. L. Finlay, Edinburgh; F. G. Smith,
Scottish Union; W. 0. Harris, Scottish Provident.
P. Hardy, Esq., F.R.S., Actuary of the Mutual Life
Office, was unanimously called to the chair, and letters
of apology read from G. Davies, Esq., F.R S., absent in
Wales; F. P. G. Neison, Esq., unexpectedly called into
the country; J. M. Rainbow, Esq., through a domestic
calamity, and others.
After the report of the committee had been read by
J. J. CLEGHORN, Esq., the honorary secretary, the
various clauses to constitute the Institute were separately
put to the meeting, and with the exception of one or two
slight amendments, were unanimously carried.
We subjoin the principal resolutions as proposed to
the meeting.
We were highly amused with the humorous and good-
natured remarks of Mr. Finlay son, who gave his most
strenuous support to the institute, remarking that he
had endeavoured many years ago to promote the for-
mation of a similar Institute when it was difficult to say
who was an actuary. The venerable and talented gem
tleman's remarks were received with the greatest en•
thusiasm. The principal speakers, beside the chairman,
were, Mr. Riley, Mr. Jenkin Jones, Mr. Finlay, Mr.
Reddish, Mr. Scratchley, Mr. Sylvester, Mr. Farren,
Dr. Mullinder, and Mr. Daniel.
After the whole of the resolutions affecting the for-
mation of the Institute had been submitted to the meet•
ing, and approved, the following resolutions were una-
nimously carried :
Moved by Dr. Mullinder, seconded by Mr. Brown—
" That the fifteen gentlemen who have hitherto acted as
a general committee be appointed the committee of en-
rolment."
Moved by Mr. Farren, seconded by Mr. Reddish—
" That the thanks of this meeting be presented to the
committee."
The Chairman returned thanks.
Moved by Mr. Jenkin Jones, seconded by Mr. Syl-
vester—" That the cordial thanks of this meeting be
presented to the deputation from Scotland for their
kindness in attending, and for the valuable information
afforded by them."
Mr. Finlay returned thanks ; and, in so doing, ex-
pressed, on behalf of himself and the representatives of
the Scotch offices, their most cordial approval and co-
operation.
Moved by Mr. Brown, seconded by Mr. Hampton—
" That the best thanks of the meeting be presented to
P. Hardy, Esq., the chairman, for the able and urbane
manner in which he had filled the chair."
Moved by Mr. Daniel, seconded by Mr. Farren,
" That the best thanks of this meeting be respectfully
tendered to the directors of the Guardian Assurance
Company for their so handsomely granting permission
of the use of ,their boardroom for the purposes of the
meeting."

The unanimous thanks of the meeting were then most
cordially voted to J. J. Cleghorn, Esq., the honorary
secretary, for his valuable services.
The following is a principal outline of the plan and
objects of the institute.
1. The Institute of Actuaries of Great Britain.
2. The development and improvement of the mathe-
matical theories upon which the practice of life assur-
ance is based, and the collection and arrangement of data
connected with the subjects of duration of life, health,
and finance.

3. The improvement and diffusion of knowledge, and
the establishment of correct principles relating to sub-
jects involving monetary considerations and the doctrine
of probability.

4. A nearer approximation to uniformity of practice,
official and professional.
5. The settlement of points of professional and official
usage, and protection generally to the members of the
procession and the public.
C. Elevation of the attainments and status of the mem-
bers of the profession.

7. The formation of a library, and the establishment
of rooms for reading and conversation.

matters of difficulty, whether theoretical, official, or
professional.

The opening of the Waterloo-bridge terminus of
the South-Western Railway is to take place to morrow.
Early on Friday morning the bridge over the Westmin-
ster-road was tested by the Government officer. To
ascertain with a positive degree of certainty the effect of
a quick passage of heavy bodies across the immense
span, a number of strong rods, secured on a firm foun-
dation, were placed upright in the centre of the arch,
and midway between the centre and sides, and touching
the iron girders. In each of these rods was a groove
with a sliding staff, which, on the passing of the trains,
indicated to a hair's breadth the deflexion of each gir-
der ; and in no one instance was it more than the
3-16ths of an inch. Three of the heaviest engines of
the company were selected to make the experiment,
and these were closely coupled and otherwise worked
in such a manner as under no ordinary circumstances
would occur. The four distinct line of rail were after-
wards run over repeatedly with the different engines,
and in every instance the points or switches, which
are mostly self-acting, proved to be in admirable work-
ing order. Captain Simmonds, the Government inspec-
tor, expressed his satisfaction at the result of the experi-
ments, and gave the necessary certificate for opening the
new line.
