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

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 530,0001.
Loans granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-

THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER.

WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S) chemi-
cally purified material has been before it (made into every useful and
ornamental article usually made in silver, possessing, as it does, the
characteristic purity and durability of silver), has called into exist-
ence the deleterious compounds of " Albata Plate," " Berlln Silver,"
and other so-called substitutes ; they are at beat bad imitations of
the genuine articles manufactured and sold only by him.

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.
Notice is hereby given, that assurances which expire at Lady Day
must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with Mr. Sams,

agents throughout the kingdom, otherwise they become void.

NICKEL ELECTRO-PLATED.—The REAL NICKEL SILVER,
Introduced and made only by WILLIAM S. BURTON (late RIPPON
and BURTON'S), when plated by the patent process of Messrs. El-
kington and Co., is beyond all comparison the very best article, next
to sterling silver, that can be employed as each either usefully or orna-
mentally. In the lengthened and increasing popularity of the ma•
terial itself, and the high character of the method of plating, the
public have a guarantee that the articles sold by W. S. Burton (and
by him only) are, as it regards wear, immeasurably superior to what
can be supplied at any other house, while by no possible test can
they be distinguished from real silver.

JOAN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Addrads correspond with the above. The genee
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, far their detection, J. B. and Sen, submit the following
cautions:—home are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without same or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. Joh..
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
Purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
Will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most weld and convenient sauce; will keep good in all

66I'hi OPEN! I'M OPEN!"
A SONG OF TRIUMPH FROM THE NEW ES-
TABLISHME NT
I'm open! I'm open, in all my display !
The glory of trade and the pride of my day.
I'm open in vastness, and splendour, and none
Can equal the warehouse of MOSES and SON.
Say, ye who have seen me triumphantly rise,
If I mov'd not your hearts with a thrill of surprise,
Say, say what you thought, when in wonder you cast
Your eyes on my building—so costly, ro vast !
And say what you thought when you heard the glad shout
In honour of MOSES, within and without.
Proclaim my vast triumphs wherever you go
That others may see, and that others may know.
I'm open I'm open 1 but net to delude
With empty attractions and vain magnitude.
I'm open to publish what wonders are done
By the dauntless projectors, E. MO'tES and SON.
My vastness of building is nought but a proof
Of vastspeeulations beneath my wide roof.
The extent of my houses proclaims, you must know.
Extensive advantage to high and to low.
Bright prospects (if rightly observed) will appear
On the Catering globes of each bright chandelier.
On the pillars of marble, this truth is display'd:—
" E. MOSES and SON are the pillars of trade."
The glasses which double all objects reflected
Speak lordly of double advantage effected.
Ev'ry room which the monarch-like warehouse displays
Some hint of importance—some meaning conveys.
I'm opeu! I'm open ! well stor'd with attire,
'Whys. .style and materials all will admire.
I'm open, with cutters, whose elegant taste
Has nothing defective and nothing misplac'd.
I'm open to carry out MOSES' endeavour
In selling you articles cheaper than ever.
I'm open to do more than ever I've done
open to honour E. MOSES and SON.
I'm open with cheapness, °ileum cloth, and choice cut,
And while such is the ease, I shall never be shut.

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Taunton, April 3.
NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Enut.)
CAINES V. SMITH.
BREACH Of PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—This was an action
for a breach of promise of marriage. Mr. Sergeant King-
lake and Mr. Fitzherbert appeared for the plaintiff. Mr.
Cockburn and Mr. Ball conducted the defence.
Mr. Fitzherbert having opened the pleadings, Mr. Sergeant
Kingiake stated the case to the jury.
Robert Wilson—l am master of the union house at Cerne,
and was so in 1844, in which year an election of a school-
mistress took place. There were five or six candidate; and
Miss Caines was elected. She came at Christmas, 1841, and
lived at the union house. I have known the defendant three
or four years. In 1842 he was butler to Sir Henry Digby,
of Minterne House, and afterwards of his son, Mr. Digby.
He visited my house, and saw Miss Caines there before 1843.
In that year he visited her regularly. Miss Caine? parents
live at Queen Camel, in Somersetshire. I received a letter
from Mary Caines, and in consequence I communicated to
Smith that Mr. and Mrs. Caines were in great distress. He
replied that he was very sorry, and if her friends would
advance some money, he would add 101. to it in their aid. He
afterwards expressed a desire to go to Queen Camel, to ask
the parents' consent to keep company with her. She ob-
tained leave of absence to go, and they went together. She
again went about six months after. On both occasions she
went early in the morning, and returned the same night.
On the occasion of the defendant leaving Mr. Digby's service,
I had some conversation with him, and he said he intended
to marry Miss Caines. He added that he would take a public-
house, and could manage to raise 1,.000/. I saw him in the
latter part of August, when he went into our kitchen to take
leave of her. When he came out he had a handkerchief up
to his face and had been crying. Miss Caines afterwards left
the union-house in November, 1844, because she was preg-
nant. I always considered him as her future husband.
Cross examined by Mr. COCKBURX—Miss' Caines's duties'
were to see that the children were washed and properly
dr ‘ssed. Her salary was 121. a 3,ear, with rations.
Re-examined—l never heard of defendant's having courted
any person but Miss Carnes until after his marriage.
John Foot—l am a farmer living at Glanville Wotton,
nearn Corne. Mr. and Mrs. Caines have lately been living
at Queen Camel. Formerly they had a large farm. They
have seven children alive, some older and one younger than
Mary Caines. I was a guardian of the Come union, and
considered the situation of schoolmistress a desirable one for
her. I knew the defendant Smith. I heard of an intimacy
between him and Miss Caines. I afterwards met Smith, and
had some conversation with him. I said her friends were
very poor, but she was very well satisfied with her place, and
I hoped he would not make her dissatisfied with it, and then
act dishonourably by her. He replied that it was his inten-
tion to act honourably by her. I know she has had a child,
but I do not remember when it was.
Cross-examined—The child is rather more than a year old.
I think it was born in March, 1845.
At this stage of the case the Court adjourned, and the case
was resumed on Saturday morning.
Mr. COCKI3URN then stated that it had been agreed between
the parties to take a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001.
A verdict was then taken accordingly.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
BURGLARY.—Bcyamin Ashford, 38, and William Urledge,
18, were charged with burglariously breaking the dwelling-
house of Richard Leir, Esq., and stealing 12 silver spoons,
22 silver forks, and other property, at Lidchett.
Mr. Stone conducted the prosecution.
Thomas George Perry stated that he was a servant of the
prosecutor. On the 30th of January his master's house was
properly secured at night. That he got up about six o'clock
next morning, and found that the house had been broken
open. Weut to his master's room and could not get is, as
two chairs were placed against the door. On getting in he
saw a hole in the wall, near the window, large enough to let
a person in. There was a candle burning on the table. The
window was thrown up. He then missed his master's
cellaret, a sugar canister, and many other things were also
gone. He afterwards went into a field, about 100 yards from
the house, and found his master's cellaret.
R. L. Leir, Esq., stated, that on the night in question he
lost some plate.
Henry Edglow—Knows the prisoner Orledge. Saw him
at Shepton. Prisoner Orledge asked him if he wanted to buy
anything. He said he could put a pound or two in witness's
pocket. He offered him some plate, for which he asked 255.
Witness bought it for 11. Sent word to a policeman of what
he had done. Afterwards saw both the prisoners together
at Shepton-market. Orledge asked hies to buy some more
plate. Agreed to purchase. He then told witness that
Ashford had some plate to sell. Ashford showed him some
silver forks and spoons, and a watch. Gave him Is., and
promised to pay the remainder in a few days. Gave him the
spoons, &c., to Summers, a policeman. The prisoners were
taken into custody.
Abraham Buck, a policeman, of Wells, stated that from
information he had received he went to Shepton Mallet with
Summers. Went to the Ship Inn, where be saw Orledge and

first denied that it was her child; but she afterward .ad-
mitted it, and said, "I did not cry out here; when I threw
it down the privy I thought it was dead." The extraordi-

privy without passing through the room in Which Francis
and his wife were, and unlocking the door of their room,
which was kept locked, and which she must have locked
again on her return, without disturbing Mr. or Mrs. Francis.
With regard to the cause of death, Mr. Herries, a highly in-
telligent surgeon, swore to his belief that it was caused by
extravasation of blood upon the brain, and that this was
produced by a serious wound which had been inflicted upon
the head. On his cross-examination he denied that such a
wound could have been pro luiesed by the pressure of the head
against the pelvis during 1 sbouss but admitted that it might
have been produced by a fails or some accidental violence un-
consciously inflicted by the %other during her suffering. He
also stated that a frequent result of extravasation of blood
