Thls Association has been formed principally with the view of et-

orricx.s. BANKING HOUSES, and MERCANTILE ESTA-
ZILISIIMENTS, a safe and advantageous mozle of investing a portion
of their incomes, either by way of deposit, at 71. per Cent. compound
interest, or in the purchase of freehold er leasehold residences.
The operations of this Society will be regulated by Tables prepared
212Prelialy for that purpose by two eminent actuaries.
Theleading principles of this Society are—
; I—Perfect equality of beactit between all the Members, whether
• 'Mowers or not.
2. Certainty in the amount of advance to which each Member
talaklag to anticipate his Shares w.ll be entitled at any given period
0f the *society's existence, with the means of ascertaining precisely
at any date the amount payable to retiring Members, and the value
Settle Sharet of continuing Members.
Members may pay up the whole or any portion of their subscrip-
. menelor the ten years, in advance, and discount, after the rate of 41.
Per annum, wilt be allowed for the sums so paid.
Members wislitng to withdraw their Subscriptions may do so after
1I first rear, without tine ; and subsequently to that period com-
, Poland Interest at the rate .f 61. per Cent. per annntn will be allowed
Upon ties sums withdrawn.
Shares may be transferred free of stamp duties.
the Plan adopted in this Society new Members entering at
.s...tperiod, and all Members taking up additional Shares, may have
*Ms advanced to them withoat paying up arrears .f Subscriptions ;
:12 the precise amounts that will be advanced either to old or new
bars, are Oct forth in the Tables, a copy of which will be sup-
=pedt° everY Member. This is mairfestly far preferable to the un-
ru. a'ol ebiectioaable system usually adopted of putting the shares
to auction, and advancing the money to those who submit to the
44r_hrt discount ; by which means the object of the Legislature,
eh contemplated that each Member should derive precisely the
fttm.
advantage, is entirely frustrated.
tal:lZ, monthly subscription, both to the borrowing and non-borrow-
"lrd`w,, ",embers, preeisely the same, and continues the same to the

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—The Teviot,
Royal Mail steam-ship, Lieutenant Philip Bast, R.N.,
commanding, has not yet made her appearance, al-
though due at the Post-office since the 22d instant.
In case, however, any degree of alarm may exist in
the minds of those who have friends on board, it may
not be amiss to state that she is not expected to arrive
here by the company to which she belongs until
to-morrow, or Friday at the farthest, in consequence
of some little irregularity having occurred with one
of the steamers conveying the inter-colonial mails.,
This irregularity was the result of the late tempes-
tuous, weather; and as the Teviot could not leave
Bermuda, her last port of call, until the arrival thither
of the mails alluded to, the cause of her non-appear•
ance at Southampton at her usual time is fully ac-
counted for.

The Madrid, Peninsular steam ship, in ordinary
weather, would no doubt have arrived-to-day, but it
having been blowing strongly from the east and
north east since her departure from Lisbon, her pro-
gress across the Bay of Biscay has most likely been
much retarded. She is, however, looked for in the
course of to-night, or to-morrow morning.
The weather here has set In intensely cold, with
severe frost, but in consequence of much wind the
water in the ponds has not yet frozen. '.rho ice
merchants, of whom there are three or four extensive
rifles in Southampton, for supplying the shipping with
this article of luxury for summer use, are conse-
quently almost inactive.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.
CAMBRIDGE, JAN. 26.—TuB BISHOP OF MAN•
CHESTER.—There was no congregation holden to-day
for the purpose of sanctioning a grace to authorise
the conferring the degree of D.D. upon the above-
mentioned reverend prelate, as it had been previously
stated there would, on the authority of the Vice-
Chancellor's notice. It would appear, that at the
time the notice was issued the fact of the consecration
of the bishop was unknown to the University autho-
rities. This ceremony having been performed, the
bishop is entitled (under an interpretation made
May 81, 1786), to proceed to the degree which 14111
about to' be conferred on him as a matter of distinc-
tion. The Vice-Chancellor, acting with the con-
currence of another Right Reverend Prelate, a
mutual friend of the parties, consequently withdrew
kis notice, and intimation of this fact having been
circulated, the officers whose presence is necessary
to the constitution of a congregation did not as-
semble.
OXFORD, JAN. 25.—The following gentlemen have
been appointed to studentships in Christchurch :
Rich, jun., Cotton, and Thomas Stratton, from
Westminster School. Henry W. Mason, Waiter
Thomas, W. S. Stanhope, Edwards, George
Howard, Edward William Whately, F. G. Sandys-
Lumsdaine, Lane, and Thomas Henry Hunt,
