RITISII EMPIRE MUTUAL FIRE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY,
37, New Bridge•street, Blackfriars, London.
THE MUTUAL PRINCIPLE applied to Life Assurance has met
with extraordinary and long continued success.
FIRE ASISURANCE, however, is almost exclusively conducted
on the proprietary system.
The evidence is complete that large profits are derivable from Fire
Assurance.
BY THE MUTUAL PLAN all these profits are divided among
the Assured, who alone have the control. The Directors are chosen
by the Member.; from among themselves.
The success which has attended the progress of the British Mutual
Life Assurance Company has led to the establishment ef this Society
on these principles, and which is now effecting Assurances against
Fire at the London and Provincial Offices, where Prospectuses may
be obtained.
Application for Agencies may be made to the Secretary.

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that it may he really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretckedness, be raised,
and Its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
used In moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abased . the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
is early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
fi-om their invariable consequences, unwisely entertain;; a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
etedical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that lie is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MEIIT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice fur many years is a
guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

BRIIISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY.—The
annual examination of the girls in the Central-school, in
the Borough•road, took place this day. Sir Charles
Lemon, M.P., took the chair. The large room was
crowded to excess. Among the visitors on the platform
we noticed Viscount and Lady Ebrington, Sir John and
Lady Catherine Boileau, the Bishop of Norwich, several
clergymen and Dissenting ministers, and many of the
leading friends of the society. The examination, which
embraced reading, spelling, grammar, arithmetic, Eng-
lish history, and the sacred Scriptures, occupied from
two to three hours, and appeared to give the highest
satisfaction. At the close, the Chairman gave an excel-
lent speech on the bearing of education upon the times.
The Bishop of Norwich addressed the children and the
company, and Sir John Boileau expressed the high
aegree of satisfaction with which he, in common with
others, had witnessed the proceedings of the day.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of June 9.)

SUGAR.—To-day full rates were insisted upon for
West India Sugar; on the part of home buyers little
desire was evinced to operate, and the sales privately
did not exceed 160, making 1,040 hhds and tierces for
the week. The market for all sorts of Raw Sugar closes
with a firmer tone.
REPINED.—To-day the Refined Sugar market was in-
active, and sellers are willing to accept 55s for standard,
and 54s for brown grocery lumps. Bonded crushed
Sugar met with a fair demand at 26s to 27s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the operations by private
treaty were upon a more extended scale, and at auction
1,079 bags sold at full rates, to a small advance—good
yellow went at 39s to 39s 6d, middling 38s to 38s 6d,
low 36s 6d to 375, and out of condition 32s to 38s 6d.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Madras
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to 6,400 bags con-
sisting of grocery kinds ; the whole sold at and after the
sale at stiff rates. Of Manilla 5,300 bags were sold at
fair market rates.
FOREIGN.-0a the part of holders of Foreign Sugar
there is firmness, and with all descriptions the market
has been • moderately supplied all the week. Previous
rates are in consequence supported, but few export
orders have been completed, and our refiners working
under bond are little in want of Sugar ; the home de-
mand has also been limited for all sorts. At auction 7.50
chests of yellow Havannah were disposed of.
MOLASSES.—HoIders of West India evince less firm-
ness, and are sellers upon rather lower terms, as the
demand is limited. Arrivals however continue small, and
are less than in 1847 by 7,000 puns; there is a diminu-
tion in the stock of 1,200, and deliveries are of a more
satisfactory nature.

Cocoa..:-West India is still lit 63 required, and as there
is a plentiful supply, a further fall in the value is apparent.
Of 250 bags Trinidad offered at a public sale, a part only
sold at 39s to 42s for middling and fine red, and at 38s
to 40s for grey. There is a material increase in the im-
portation over this time last year. Foreign met with
little attention, and prices are on the decline; some
parcels have been received.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon was only
in limited demand, and 1,050 bags 24 casks at auction
only in part sold at barely former rates—good middling
went at 58s, middling 47s to 525, fine and tine fine ordi-
nary 34s to 38s Gd, ordinary and good ordinary 27s to
29s 6d, pea berry 40s to 44s Gd, and damaged 18s to
365. Of Rio 152 bags were taken in at 29s for good ord.
TEA.—Holdeis of Green have been more inclined to
realise this week, the trade on the other hand operated
with caution, and a decline is apparent of Id to lid for
Hyson, and id for Twankay; other sorts are gene-
rally to be obtained upon rather lower terms, on
account of increased supplies. Congou is not offered
at any reduction, and for fine blackish leaf and
Pekoe kinds a good demand has been experienced at
from is 5d to is 8d per lb. The lower sorts are not
much in request, and ordinary to good common can be
purchased at GP to 7id per lb. Pekoe Teas are offered
rather under last week's rates, but have not met with
much attention. The stock of all sorts has further in-
creased. At public sale 5,997 pkgs were offered, and
1,000 sold.
RICE.—To-day East India Rice was dealt in with
more freedom by private. treaty, and higher rates were
not to be obtained. At auction 800 bags Bengal were
taken in at 106 for good midding white, rather dusty and
a little broken, being above the value.

SAGO.—The demand is on the increase, and prices
are on the advance. At auction this afternoon 337
cases were sold.

SPICES.—To-day at auction 3 cases of Nutmegs were
sold at 2s 8d for middling brown, and at Is 7d for wormy;
1 case Mace sold, ordinary is 11d, but 100 bags wild
Nutmegs were taken in at 4d per lb.
SPIRITS.—The operations in Leeward Island Rum
have been trivial this week; holders insisting upon is 7d
to Is 7.0 for proof, and is 8d per gallon for good brown
ditto. Only a limited demand has been experienced for
Calcutta, at is 5d to is 6d proof. Of Penang about
200 puns and hhds, out of condition, sold at is 4d proof.
Demerara is little required, and there is a desire to sell
26 to 36 per cent over proof at 2s 6d to 3s. For Jamaica
prices remain much the same as previously quoted; on
the part of home buyers little inclination is evinced to
make sales, and export orders continue to be small,
In Brandy there is no alteration in value this week, but
the market is in a quiet state, and the stock continues
to increase. Geneva is little wanted. For British made
Spirits prices are fully as high with a satisfactory
demand, and limited supplies.
_ _

COCHINEAL.—This afternoon the demand was dull for
Cochineal by private treaty, and 30 bags at auction were
taken in at 3s 10d for Mexican black, and at 3s lld for
mixed Teneriffe.

Ons.—This afternoon a public sale of 20 tuns of
Sperm Oil sold at 791 to 791. 103 for fair, 87 tuns
of Southern, low to tine 221 5s to 2415 s ; 84 casks of
Palm were withdrawn,

TALLOW.—This afternoon little variation took place
in the value of Tallow; at auction 338 pipes 77 hhds
and 24 boxes South American were nearly all sold at
41s to 45s for low to fine; 85 casks North American
41s 9d to 43s Gd; 518 casks New South Wales 38s Gd
to 44s 3d.

second fire in that neighbourhood within the last few
days). The discovery was made by the policeman on
the beat, through seeing smoke pouring forth from the
front parlour windows. This satisfied the officer that
the place was on fire, and without delay an alarm was
raised, and messengers were dispatched for the engines.
During the interim Mr. Hymes, the landlord, and the
inmates, endeavoured to escape from the blazing pro-
perty, but owing to the firm hold the fire had previously
obtained it was a work of considerable difficulty, and two
or three persons were severely injured by leaping from
the windows. Vast bodies of water were thrown into
the midst of the flames, in spite of which the work of
destruction continued, and floor after floor fell a prey to
the fury of the alarming element, until the premises,
from the base to the roof, were totally destroyed.
•COURT•MARTIALo— On Wednesday morning the
members forming a court-martial, assembled on board
the Ocean, at Sheerness, for the trial of Edward Gul-
liver, a private of the lith company of the Royal Ma-
rines. The prisoner was from her Majesty's ship Ganges,
80 guns, and was arraigned:-1. For being drunk on
board the said ship on the 22d of May last. 2. For in-
subordination, using disgusting language to First Lieu-
tenant E. Nepean, of the Royal Marines, threatening to
sput that officer's eye, and removing his jacket from his
back for that purpose; and 3d, for having on board the
said ship, on the 26th of May, broke loose from his irons
when he was confined, and seizing a bayonet, said that
if he was brought to the yard-arm he would take the
life of some one in the ship, and would not leave the
ship until he had done for him; to which charges the
prisoner pleaded not guilty. Captain Henry Smith, of
the Ganges, was the prosecutor. The Court found the
prisoner guilty on each charge, and sentenced him to
twelve months' hard labour in the county goal at Maid-
stone, to be mulcted of all pay due to him, and to for-
feit all his previous service, which is fourteen years.
The prisoner wore on his breast a saver medal for
China.

THE NAVAL MEDAL.
(From last night's Gazette.)
ADMIRALTY, JUNE 7.—The Lards Commissioners of
the Admiralty having referred to a Committee of Flag
Officers the consideration of the naval actions for which
medals should be granted, in accordance with the spirit
of the Queen's most
gracious intentions, as signified iu
the Gazette of the 4th of June, 1847, and her Majesty
having been pleased to approve of several of the sug-
gestions submitted by the said Committee, the following
notice is issued for the information and guidance of those
who may have claims to this honourable distinction:-
Ist. The rule, directed by her Majesty to be observed
in extending this mark of her royal favour is so com-
prehensive as to bring within its scope all officers, sea-
men, and marines (an soldiers who served as marines),
who where present in any action which at the time re-
ceived the special approbation of the Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty.
2ndly. From the commencement of the war in 1793,
it was the practice of the Board of Admiralty to no•
tine battles of conspicuous merit by the promotion of
the First Lieutenant of the ship or ships, or the
promotion of the Commander, if the action was
fought by a small vessel ; and conformably with
this practice, it is her Majesty's
pleasure that
persons of every rank who were present in such
actions, during the wars commencing in 1793, and ending
in 1815, and now living, shall receive a medal comme-
morative of their meritorious services; and they are re-
quired forthwith to state their claims for each action in
which they may
have been engaged, according to the
form (A) hereunto annexed, and transmit the same to
the Secretary of the Committee of Flag Officers, Admi-
ralty, London.
3dly. Her Majesty has also been pleased to take into
her gracious consideration the many instances of gal-
lantry displayed by officers, seamen, and marines in boat
actions during the same period, and to direct that such
service, if distinguished by the promotion of the officer
conducting the enterprise, shall entitle those who were
present, and now living, to a medal; provided the an-
swers, to be given in the form (B), shall enable the Com-
mittee to ascertain that the claim is well founded. But
the officers, seamen, and marines of the ships, from which
the boats were detached, are not to participate in a dis-
tinction which only properly belongs to those personally
engaged.
4thly. It is also ordered, that service in the frigates
and smaller vessels, which were actually present in any
of the great fleet actions mentioned in the Gazette of
the 4th June, 1847, for which the captains of the ships
of the line received medals, shall entitle those now sur-
viving of the crew of such vessels to a medal.
And all surviving officers, seamen, and marines be-
longing to ships actually co-operating and present during
the siege and capture of
Martinique in 1809,
Guadeloupe in 1810,
Java in 1811,
St. Sebastian in 1813.
for which the army had medals, will be entitled to a
similar distinction, if their return, according to form
(A), shall enable the Committee to trace the presence
and co-operation of the ships to which the applicants
belonged.
And sthly. Her Majesty having taken into her most
gracious consideration the circumstance, that medals
have been granted by her Majesty for services rendered
by the navy, not only in the wars commencing in 1793,
and ending in 1815, but also for services rendered in
the late war in China, whilst the intermediate general
actions.. viz.,
The attack upon Algiers in 1816,
The battle of Navarino in 1822, and
The operations on the coast of Syria in 1340,
are unmarked by any such distinction, has been pleased
to direct that the surviving officers, seamen, end marines,
engaged in those actions, shall also receive a similar
mark of their Sovereign's gracious recollection of
their services, and of her desire to record the
same; and all such officers, seamen, and marines
