In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a Bonus was declared in June
1829, exceeding one per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an
average of the different Ages ; and two subsequent divisions of nearly
equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842.
On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added
to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to
about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those
seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three
Septennial divisions exceeded 530,00 N.
Loans granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies re, all have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under SQI.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
on the 4th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1844, and the same
is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),
between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and
also by the Agents in the Country Districts.

TONTINE ANNUITIES.
This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to
m
the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons,
who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence
as

a large
remunera-
tive et

s
tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company
during their own lives or the lives of their nominee.
The following is an illustrati-n of the principle of the Tontine An-
nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec-
tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an-
nuity granted is 6/. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee
will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity of 6/. ;
hut as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be
divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, each of
whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life; but as they re-
spectively die off, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased par of re.
ceived will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefitthe
shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of
subscribers or their nominees.
This mode of investment will place it in the power of almost every
individual, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately ap- •
propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in many in-
stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure Indepen-
dence and comfort in their declining years.

THE BEST APERIENT AND ANTIBILIOUS MEDICINE FOR

GENERAL USE IS
FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH which
effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by gentle relaxa-
tion, without griping or prostration of strength. They remove
head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &e., are highly
grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, relieve
languor and depression of spirits ; while to those of a full habit, and
free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heaviness,
and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will not
tailto be appreciated.
This Medicine ha 6 for many years received the approval of the
most respectable classes of society, and in confirmation of its effi-
cacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Prout,
with permission to publish it, and, if requisite, to refer any respect-
able person to its author:—
" Te Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London.
Heaviiree, Exeter, April 24, 1844.
" -I feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unso-
licited testimony to the excellence of your " Frampton's Pill of
Health," which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior
general medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having recourse
to other medicines for a long period of years ; she has recommended
them extensively, and in one irstance in which she induced a person
to adoptthem, and supplied the drat box herself, they save proved 01
extraordinary efficacy. I think that perhaps there is scarcely any
other of the many patent medicines before the public of equal value
as a " friend in need"--certainly none possessed of superior claims
I shall be happy on all occasions to give them my individua recom-
mendation, and am. Sir, " Your obedient servant,

661 R ON TIMES" NEWSPAPER
COMPANY.
. . .

(Provisionally Registered.)
Capital 63,0001., in Shares of 1/. Is. each.
Offices of the Company, No. 41, Aloorgate-street,

For some years before the fide mischievous movement against
railway interests on the part of the " Times" newspaper, it had
been evident to all persons engaged in business, that in giving their
advertisements to that journal they were themselves encouraging
and fosterli,g a newspaper which, while it derived the principal part
of its support from the industry and energy of the mercantile and
commercial classes of the community, was acting in every way
against their intereste.
But however unwilling those classes might be to lend their aid to
such a journal by sending to it their advertisements, it was compul-
sory upon them to do so, from the fact of the large circulation of the
" Times " rendering it the only existing medium for obtaining the de-
sirable publicity. A remedy or an alternative was sought in vain ;
the existence of a journal, with a circulation to answer the purposes
of a sufficient publicity for advertisements, remained a desideratum.
This want appears to be now supplied by the " Iron Times," and
the projectors of the " Iron Times " Newspaper Company have per-
ceived—ln the manner in which that journal has recently assumed
the character of a General Morning Newspaper, and the skill and
talent which have been displayed in supporting that character—a
power of expansion and development which, if duly supported by an
amount of capital immediately available, must inevitably render the
" Iron Times " the leading journal of the age.
Founded on the basis of the " Iron Times" as a Railway News-
paper, the " Iron Times," as a General Newspaper, has a point
d'appui to start from, such as it has never hitherto been the good
fortune of any journal to attain.
To the success of a newspaper there are two points necessary—
circulation and advertisements. These combined—or even one of
them singly—have never, in any instance, been arrived at without a
great outlay and risk of capital ; both of these, however, the Iron
Times " has at starting. It has but to add to them.
Actuated by this impression, and desirous to insure the perma-
nence of an honest and independent Daily Morning Newspaper, the
property of no clique, either political or literary, a Company has
been constituted for the purpose of purchasing the " Iron Times,"
and infusing into it that amount of immediately-available capital,
which alone appears necessary to insure its increased usefulness as
a public journal, and an increased ratio of profits to all parties con-
cerned. _

Asa commercial speculation the success of the " Iron Times" is a
matter of public notoriety, and the Committee of Management of
th• Company, from the examination of the books, accounts, &c.,
have no hesitation in announcing the probability of a return of at
least twenty-five per cent., or ss. per share, on the capital invested.
To carry into effect the objects of the promoters of the Company,
it is intended to create a capital of 63,0001., divided into 60,000 shares
of 11. Is. each—the whole to be paid up. None of these shares will
be allotted to the public until complete registration, which will be per-
fected in the course of a few days.

C UNDEL US IMPROVED BALSAM OF
HONEY.
For ~.pwards of fifty years, this invaluable medicine has main-
tained its roputation as a most effective remedy for.the above com-
plaints, and, unassisted by advertisements, has found its way into
almost every family in the Unit-d Kingdom. It is still prepared
with the same care and attention by Mr. Henry Cundell, 47, Mino-
ries, London, who refrains from all eulogy on its valuable properties,
as one trial suffices to prove its efficacy to the most sceptical.
May be had In bottles at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and 12s. 6d., of all re-
spectable medicine venders in the United Kingdom

LIST OF PLANS DEPOSITED AT THE PRIVATE
BILL-OFFICE.

The following is a perfect list of the lines, 721 in number,
that have deposited the necessary plans, sections, books of
reference; lists of owners, lessees, and occupiers; estimates,
and copies of subscription contract, in the Private Bill-office,
and may be looked upon as the best guarantee yet given of
the sincerity and good faith of the respective promoters, so
far as any intended ulterior proceedings are concerned. The
notices in the Gazette, and lodgments with the Board of
Tratle, though important and indispensable processes, were
relatively unimportant and inexpensive compared with the
routine of the Private Bill-office and the 31st of December,
when, in addition to the deposits with the Private Bill-office,
notices have to be served simultaneously on every occupant
and landowner on the route of line, with every parish-clerk
in England, schoolmaster in Scotland, and postmaster in
Ireland, stationed in the various parishes. The expense of
this process may be readily conceived when it is known that,
besides the outlay in preparation of the notices, large numbers
of persons have to be paid for serving them, the solicitor
being, it is understood, entitled to 11. fee for every service
effected. According, moreover, to the scale of fee', the speaker
has 5/. for every private Bill, 108. is demanded for entering a
private Bill, with the names and addresses of the Parliamentary
agent and solicitor, and the name of the committee clerk, and
6s. Bd. for receiving and taking care of the books, plans, esti-
mates, and other documents. The Private Bill-office, however,
is only introductory to the more trying ordeal of deposits with
the Exchequer, which, preparatory to petition for leave to pro-
ceed, can alone be looked to as a conclusive criterion. It is
observable that the schemes enumerated below are by about
one-half numerically less than those originally registered,
amountinf., if we remember rightly, to about 1,400, and by
about fifty-seven less than those deposited with the Board of
Trade :

WORCESTER LINES.

WoRCHSTER, TITICPDAY EVENING.—To day a special meet-
ing of the Town Council of Worcester has been held at the
Guildhall, for the purpose of sending an ar.swer to the several
notices referring to new railways proposed to come into this
city. The following is a correct list of the schemes in respect
of which notices had been served on the Town Clerk on behalf
of the Corporation :
Welsh Midland—A line of railway from Worcester to the
South Wales mineral district.
Worcester and South Wales Junction—For a partially
competing line to the Welsh Midland line, extending from
Worcester to the South Wales line, somewhere in Hereford-
shire or Monmouthshire.
Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester—For a line between these
towns.
Worcester, Tenbury, and Lincoln—A line partially com-
peting with the Worcester and Porthdynllaen.
Warwick and Worcester—A competing line with the Rug-
by. Warwick, and Worcester.
Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby—A competing line to the
last named and to the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester.
Worcester and Leominster—A line between Worcester and
Leominster, by way of Bromyard.
The above projects came on for discussion in the order in
which they are arranged above, the first being the
WELSH MIDLAND.
The Town Clerk (J. HILL, Esq.), producing several notices
which he bad received from this Company, observed that
they proposed to bring their line across Foregate-street,
which would spoil one of their best streets; to annihilate the
new cattle-market, which had been constructed within the
last six years at an enormous expense, and to cut up San-
some Walk (a favourite public promenade), by a cutting nine
feet in depth.
Mr. LEARROWSUITLI said the line would also annihilate
all the literary institutions of the city, viz., the Natural
Hitory Society, the City and County Library, and the Lite-
rary and Scientific Institution.
bin J. N. SEA (Vice-Chairman of the Severn Commission)
thought there were sufficient grounds for giving a dissent to
the scheme, even if no other could be advanced. But there
were other objections to this scheme, which he would advert
to if the Council were not satisfied of the importance of those
already represented. As the Council, however, did not seem
to require any additional stimulusforobjecting to the scheme,
he would at once move that the Town Clerk be instructed to
dissent to the Welsh Midland Railway.
Mr. ELOIE (Sheriff of Worcester) seconded the motion for
dissent, which was carried unanimously.
WORCESTER AND SOUTH WALES JUNCTION.
In respect of this scheme the Town Clerk said he had re-
ceived ten notices, from which it appeared that this line was
intended to cross a piece of ground common to the freemen of
the city, called Pitchcroft, and which was used as the Wor-
cester race-course. This would be intersected by an em-
bankment 37 feet in height, and an embankment of 28 feet
would cut across certain charity property near the same em-
bankment, continued at an elevation of 20 feet, passing over
Foregate•street, and continuing across the Sansome Walk.
promenade.
This scheme was more strongly objected to than the Welsh
Midland, and the dissent of the Council was at once placed
against the scheme.
RUGBY, WARWICK, AND WORCESTER.

This line was explained by Mr. Sheriff ELME (who is also
one of the solicitors to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Railway Company) to be one of a class of railway
schemes which would compete with the Oxford, Worcester,
and Wolverhampton line.
The Council, after some discussion, agreed to take a neutral
part with regard to this projected line of railway, and the
Town Clerk was instructed to reply accordingly.
WORCESTER, TENBURY, AND LUDLOW.

The Town Clerk described the course of this line on en.
tering Worcester, as passing across the race-course by an
embankment of twenty feet, and touching upon property be-
longing to the Corporation on the banks of the Severn.
A motion for remaining neutral with respect to this line
was agreed to, the seconder arguing that this was a com-
peting line with the Worcester and Porthdynnlaeo, as far as
Ludlow. 'fhis line of the Worcester and Porthdynnlaen,
which did not touch upon any property of value in Wor-
cesttr, was calculated to benefit Worcester more than any
line yet projected, and ought therefore to receive the cordial
supplrt of its inhabitants.
WARWICK AND WORCESTER.
This line was described as infringing upon the Corporation
property only in a slight degree. The town clerk was in-
structed to represent the Council as neutral.
WORCESTER, WARWICK, AND RUGBY.
In respect of this line also, the Town Clerk was instructed
to return the Council as neutral. The course as laid out does
not touch upon any public property, though some of the charity
property comes within the limits of deviation. The three
last named are competing projects.
WORCES'T'ER AND LEOMINSTER.
Councillor CRANE having observed that this was a scheme
totally uncalled for by the wants of the district,
Mr. J. W. LEA took occasion to observe that it had been
originated at the earnest request of the moat influential per-
sons resident on the line between Worcester and Leominster.
It was intended to be brought in connexion with the Wor-
cester, Warwick, and Rugby, which would be a valuable
feeder at one end of the line, while the South Wales line
must very greatly contribute to its traffic at the other end.
The line would also come into Worcester without interfering
with any property of value. In reply to a question put by
one of the Council, Mr. Lea stated that this line was never
intended to be connected with the Welsh Midland line,
though it would be with the Great Eastern and Western.
OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON.
WonczgrEa, TUESDAY NIGHT.—In the course of the pro-
ceeding 4 of a special meeting. held here to-day, of the Wor-
cester Town Council, on the subject of the proposed lines to
come into this city, some observationsovere made on the de-
lay in commencing the works of the Oxford, Worcester, and
'Wolverhampton Railway.
One of the Town Councillors remarked that a rumour had
been pretty freely circulated, to the effect that the works
never would be begun; on which
Mr. ELGIE (one of the solicitors to the Company) observed
that the works had actually been commenced, and that the
principal works had been staked out.

The subject of the Worcester station was also adverted to,
and Alderman Evans took the opportunity of informing the
It:wal solicitors (both of whom were present at the meeting)
that the citizens of Worcester were deeply anxious to have
egood approach to the station, and to have the station con-
veniently situate.

SOUTH-EASTERN.
The Directors of the South-Eastern Railway Company
have circulated amongst the proprietors a handsome little
volume, containing a statement of the position of the Com-
pany with reference to the projects which it is intended to
present to Parliament in the next session. At the outset
They express their opinion that the interests of the Company
}Ave eutfered from the want of a full understanding of its
position and policy, and this more especially in the districts
through which a large proportion of the proposed new works
will pass. After a recapitulation of a few of the leading facts
connected with the position of the Company, a statement is
given of the extensions whiah Mr. Robert Stephenson, the
engineer, has recommended. They are as follow :
" 1. From Waterloo-road, near Hungerford-bridge, to the
Greenwich Railway at the crossing of the Grand Surrey
Canal. The object of this line is to form a West-end ter-
minus for all the lines in connexion with the South-Eastern.
Thi3 terminus will be formed, opening on the Waterloo-road,
and also on the York-road, Lambeth, which will bring it into
immediate communication both with the Waterloo and Hun-
gerford bridges. It will connect the whole South-Eastern
evstem with the South-Western line, and through that line
and the extensions proposed by the Birmingham and Great
Western Companies, the last link in the chain of connexion
will be established. The series will thus be complete from
Dover to Edinburgh, to Holyhead and to Falmouth. 2.
From the Greenwich Railway at Deptford Creek and the
Grand Surrey Canal to Chilham, near Canterbury, with
branches to Sheerness and to Faversham Creek. This is the
North Kent line as promoted by the South-Eastern Company.
The total length from the Greenwich Railway at Deptford
Creek to Chilham is 52 miles 3 furlongs 105 yards, and from
the Greenwich Railway at the Grand Surrey Canal toChilham
33 miles 1 furlong 213 yards, the portion from Dartford to
Chilham being comprised hi both. Commencing at the
Greenwich Railway, at the point where the line from
Waterloo-road terminates, the North Kent line of this Com-
pany proceeds through a portion of Deptford New-town to
Lewisham, thence by Eltham, Bexley, and Crayford to
Dartford. From Dartford to Gravesend the line is substan-
tially the same as last year ; but from Gravesend onward to
Strood, a lower level is taken, adopting the line of the
Thames and Medway Canal, and Gravesend and Rochester
Railway. From Strood, where the Gravesend and Roches-
ter Railway rim--
-inetes, the line proceeds across the Medway
at about 100 yards below the existing bridge at Rochester.
Through Rochester and Chatham the line proceeds along
the marshes at the north side, and in the rear of the houses
in the High-streets of Rochester and Chatham, with
provisions for convenient,
quays and landing-places along
the river side ; thence the line
proceeds under the
high ground which separates
l Chatham from Gillingham
by a tunnel 1,219 yards in
depth of 163 feet. Thence by Gillingham at a maximum

VICTORIA THEATRE.
The Victoria has its Cricket on the Hearth. This fa-
voured insect has migrated into Surrey, and has been
welcomed to the hearths of the humble artisans of this
side Old Father Thames with as much cordiality and
feeling as it has met with on the more aristocratic shores
of Middlesex. Osbaldeston, the spirited lessee of this
establishment, on Monday last introduced his Cricket on
the Hearth to a Surrey audience. The piece has been
dramatised from Boz's celebrated fairy domestic tale by
Mr. Thomas Archer, the dialogue and the manner in
which the piece has been got up, reflects alike great ere-
dit upon the lessee and the adapter, and the piece bids
fair to become a favourite with the frequenters of this
theatre. The character of Dot, the innocent, affectionate,
and artless little wife of honest John Peerybingle, was
sustained to the life by Miss Vincent, who evidently
understands well the character intended to be pourtrayed
by Box. Saville, was the honest carrier, and the
character lost nothing in his hands. The Tilly Slow-
boy, of Miss Eliza Terry, was an excellent piece
of acting, her awkward manner and constant mishaps
kept the house in a continual roar. Mr. W. Searle 's
Tackleton exhibited in its true colours that most odious
of all characters, but one that is so frequently met with
in society, the being envious of the happiness of others,
and feeling delight IR marring it. The other characters
in the piece were well sustained, and the scenery reflects
great credit on the artist. We had anticipated last night
a great treat in witnessing the extraordinary perform-
anco of Professor Hemming and his two infant sons, but
we were doomed to disappointment, the stage manager
announcing at the conclusion of the Cricket on the
Hearili, that Mr. Hemming was seriously indisposed
with erysipelas in the head and totally unable to leave
his bed. In consequence of this the interlude of Her-
cules, King of Clubs, was substituted, and the evening's
entertainment concluded with the pantomime of 7:ippity-
wichet, or, Harlequin Tim Bobbin and the Comical Witches
of Lancashire, the excellent tricks in which must be
seen to be appreciated. This pantomime presents the
unusual appearance of two clowns and two pantaloons,
whose grotesque positions and comic acting kept the
house in a roar of laughter. The Gods were
in extacy with the songs of " Tippitywichet" by
E. Blanchard, and " Hot Codlins" by Macdonald.
We observe that Professor Hemming takes his benefit
on Friday next, before which day, we sincerely trust,
that he will have recovered his wonted health. On that
occasion, in addition to the wonderful performances of
his infant sons, he will introduce his astonishing dog
Hector, called the Canine Wonder, who, we are told by
the bills, will sing, dance, die, obey the word of com-
mand, ascend and descend ladders, and take surprising
leaps. We trust that his master and his infant prodigies
will receive a bumper at the hands of a Surrey audience
on the last night of their appearance.
