FIRE IN MOSLEY VALE.

Yesterday morning, shortly after twelve o'clock, a
messenger arrived at the fire station, on horseback,
and communicated the intelligence that a fire
had broken out at a farm occupied by Mrs. Elizabeth
Scotson, Mosley Vale. Two engines, and a body of the
fire brigade, immediately proceeded to the spot with
all possible dispatch. On their arrival, they found
the farm-house, granary, stable, and hay-lofts in
a blaze, the fire at that time presenting a moat threat-
ening and alarming aspect. A supply of water Ras
procured from a neighbouring pond, and the engines
worked most vigorously, several females, owing to the
want of a sufficient number of men, rendering most
efficient service in the operation. A great portion
of the hay was removed from the lofts, in order
to facilitate the efforts of the firemen, who, after
an hour of most persevering exertion, suc-
ceeded in subduing the flames, and preventing the
spread of the fire beyond the buildings where it
appeared to have originated. Of course the farm-
house, with the granary, stable, &c , were much
injured, and a portion of farm stock destroyed, al-
though the extent of the injury was far less than was
anticipated it would be at the commencent of the
conflagration. The damage is estimated at about 801.
The stock on the premises was insured ; whether the
premises were so or not we are not unable to say.
The conduct of Mr. Hewitt, and the fire-police under
his direction was highly spoken of, as by their timely
and successful efforts the destruction arising out of
the calamity was rendered comparatively trifling.—

All of whom, as well as the Directors, ordinary and extraordinary,
are personally connected with the society by insurances of more than
three years' standing.
In comparing the relative advantages afforded by the different in-
surance companies, and in contrasting the various modes in which the
profits are allocated amongst the insured, it ought to be particularly
kept in view that many offices professing to make large additions
make no provision for the payment of bonuses during the interval be-
tween one period of investigation and another, commonly called
Contingent Prospective Bonuses. No mode of allocation of the pro-
fits of an assurance company can be equitable which does not pro-
ceed upon the principle ef making provision for such bonus addi-
tions. Thus, when a higher premium is charged than is admittedly
an equivalent for the risk undertaken, and when the accumulations
arising from the surplus premiums are divided in whole
or in part araong the contributors, it is clearly contrary to the
principle of jastice— that if A and B, being of the same age,
effect insurances at the same time and to the same extent, and if A
live for several years longer than B, and pay more annual pre-
miums, his representatives should receive no larger share of the
profits or surplus premiums than the representatives of B. It Is at
the same time manifestly inco.isistent with strict equity, that the
interests of the families or represeMatives of those whose lives are
insured should be materially affected (it may be to the extent, in
some cases, of hundreds of pounds), according to whether they
happen to die the day before or the day after that on which an in-
vestigation is made into the company's affairs.

TO Tin LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Tines" news_
paper on Aug. 7, 1446. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Berough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Herbary, High-
rate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole *flier hal ris much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s
ftegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an 11s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
nerience. not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfumeitt far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasare in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact'.-3, Swan-street, Borough.
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drops en the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, Mate it strong, aid
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly.
few drops en year hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
nair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
meet aromatic herbs and lowers with confidence; its refreshing
odenr-reinoves headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of neveus headache, pour tel or twelve drops
on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of as
Your. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
!air ea children's heads in a few appplicatifins. If aced on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence ea the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—bee

ITALY.

The Tuscan Ministry has addressed a circular to
its agents abroad, in which they are requested to
ascertain the sentiments of the other Governments
of Italy with regard to the convocation of an Italian
constituent Assembly, " to provide for the necessities
of the war of independence," and their opinions re-
specting the mode of electing such an Assembly.
This circular talks of " postponing all questions of
internal regulation until after the expulsion of the
foreigners." It is signed by MM. Guarazzi, Mon-
tanelli, d'Ayala, Franchini, Mazzani, and Adam.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT
LIVERPOOL.

Yesterday morning a suicide, occurring under cir-
cumstances of a singular nature, was discovered in
this town. The deceased was a person of gentlemanly
exterior, named Raymond, and he is supposed to be
reepectably connected in London. He had been
for some time in the habit of staying at the Water-
loo Hotel. On the 3d of this month several arti-
cles of wearing apparel were missing from the
hotel, and suspicions having rested by some means
or other upon the deceased, the attention of
the police was directed towards him. He was traced
to a house in Pleasant-street, kept by Miss Harris,
to one of whose lodgers, Miss Mary Ann Byrom, he
paid particular attention. From inquiries made at the
house, it was believed the deceased had gone to Lon-
den, and the police did not further trouble themselves
about him. It appears, however, that on Wednesday
evening last he went to the George Hotel, in Dale-
street, about twelve o'clock, and asked for a bed,
stating that Ise had been locked out of his lodgings.
His peculiar manner excited the attention of
those in the hotel, but the required accommoda-
tion was afforded to him, and he, as was snpposed,
retired to bed. Not making his appearance in a
reasonable time yesterday morning, information was
conveyed to the Police-office. Two officers were im-
mediately sent to the hotel, and on the door of the
stranger's room being forced open, he was found
hanging by the neck by means of his scarf to a small
hook in the wall. It was evident he had stood upon
the dressing table, and having adjusted the scarf about
his neck, kicked the table from under him, and re-
mained suspended about two feet from the floor.
He was immediately cut down, but life was found to
be extinct.

The deceased, before committing the rash act,
wrote to Miss Byrom, on a scrap of paper, in an in-
different hand, as follows :

" Grieved am I that I should not see you once
more before dying. When you receive this lam no
more, but my remains will be found at the George
Hotel. Do not ask me why. Fortune, friends, and
mistress—all are gone, yet I bless thee while dying.
—EDWARD."

On the back of the note was written—" Don't open
this note till to-morrow morning.—To my Polly."
The deceased, it is supposed, must have been in the
habit of taking laudanum, as three or four ounces of
that narcotic were found in a large bottle in his bed-
room. There was also a small bottle, which appeared
to have contained some of the same poison.—Liverpool
Mercury of this day.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING-, NOVEMBER 17, 1848:

"PUNCH" OIV RAILWAYS.

Our humorous Contemporary Mr. Punch has, with
the aid of his arch-artist John Leech, had a vigorous
thrust at the great scheme of Railway Amalgamation.
Those who are not habitual disciples of our modern
Democritus, drinking in from week to week his
lessons of facetious wisdom, will yet have seen this
cut at the directors in the shop-windows of those
good-natured tradesmen who thereby enable the
very gamins of London to become familiar
with the English Charivari. The engraving
represents "Mac-Bull and the Railway Witches"—
the witches being, of course, the Great Western, the
North-Western, and the South- Western. One is
dropping into the cauldron of their conspiracy a bit
of garbage labelled " Higher Fares ;" another is
immersing a tid bit upon which are traced the
characters—" No Return Tickets." The embellish-
ment is accompanied by a capital parody on Shak-
spere—revealing some of the deplorable consequences
which we ourselves have already pointed out as in-
evitable in the event of a successful amalgamation.
The hit tells admirably, and the drollery of Punch
cannot fail to enforce the more sober arguments
contained in our own columns and in those of his
other distinguished contemporaries.

FRANCE.

Three thousand labourers assembled in the Champ
de Mars on Tuesday morning, and from thence pro-
ceeded to the hotel of M. Vivien, the Minister of
Public Works, to demand of him to be allowed to
assist in the works at present being executed in the
Champ de Mars. A delegation was received by M.
Vivien, who explained to them how much he regretted
that he: could not grant their requests, as the works
in question were being executed by the Minister of
War. The men then retired without manifesting any
displeasure and separated peaceably.
It is announced, that Admiral Baudin has pro-
ceeded to Tunis with two frigates, in consequence of
the Bey of Tunis having refused to acknowledge the
French Republic.
_ _ _

M. Cabet, the Chief of the Icarian Communists,
was sentenced by the Court of Correctional Police of
Paris, on Wednesday, to one month's imprisonment,
for having had in Isis possession 14 muskets and a
quantity of ammunition.
The commission appointed by the National As-
sembly to examine the decree defining the responsi-
bility of the President of the Republic and his
Ministers has already held four meetings. The Com-
mission has resolved that " the President's responsi-
bility shall not be a vain word. Whoever shall be
President the law will surround him with such a
number of precautions and guarantees that the
National Assembly cannot be deprived of any portion
of the national sovereignty." The Commission has
resolved to class any intervention, however inoffen-
sive, of the President of the Republic, or his
Ministers at elections, amongst the crimes
against the nation. The Commission has, more-
over, adopted measures to prevent and punish
any attempt to exercise an influence by corruption
amongst the members of the National Assembly.
It has also introduced an improvement of vast im-
portance. Whilst it permits every citizen to bring
an action against the First Magistrate of the Re-
public and his Ministers, the latter is to have a right
to cite the plaintiff directly before the High Court of
Justice as a calumiator. A jury shall be summoned
to give a verdict at the same time on the original
complaint and on the charge of calumny.
By a decree, dated the 11th, the Chief of the Exe-
cutive Government nominates the following citizens
to be members of the committee to superintend and
direct the management of the Sinking Fund and the
Caisse des Depots et Consinations—viz., MM. Gond-
chaux, Duclere, and Berryer, representatives of the
people; De Gasq, President of the Court of Ac-
counts; D'Argout, Governor of the Bank of France;
Legen til, President of the Chamber of Commerce ;
Marchand and Lesseps, Councillors of State ; and
Montanier, " Directeur Mouvement General des

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
By the operation of the same prindpies, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
'lke following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

Advices from Berne of the 21st state that the
Federal Assembly had elected M. BRIATTE (Vaud)
President of the Council of the States, which is consi-
dered a triumph for the French Swiss party ; and
Dr. STEIGER (Lucerne), who has acquired a Euro-
pean reputation, President of the National Council;
in lieu of MM. FURRER and OCUSENBEIN, resigned.
It is confirmed that a violation of territory, on the
extreme north frontier of the Canton of Zurich, has
been made by a party of 32 men from the German
army, stationed on the banks of the Rhine, in pursuit
of a German refugee. The inhabitants assembled and
drove them back over the frontier.

is affirmed that at the last Cabinet Council of the Mi-
nistry, Lehi at Bellevue, at which the KING presided,
measures were concerted in case of the refusal of the
National Assembly to meet at Brandenburg on the
27th. TLe primary of these measures was, the dh-
solution of the Assembly by the octroi of the constitu-
tion, and the convocation of the Legislative (Mambos
on the Bth of January, 1849. The project of the
constitution presented for this eventuality did not re-
ceive the assent of the Crown without some resist-
ance. This project is, it appears; conformable with
that which had been presented by the centre section
of the National Assembly; it retains in the titles of
the KING the expression by the grace of Gone it
does not abolish the titles of the nobility; introduces
two chambers ; grants the KING a suspension vote,
and fixes the term of one year for the elections. It
is asserted that in order to be an elector,
and eligible to the Second Chamber there
must be an annual revenue of 200 dollars, but in
order to be eligible to the First Chamber, an annual
revenue of 500 dollars. The system of indirect
elections by electors wto should pay five dollars of
contribution is maintained. This constitution is to
be octroye in case the National Assembly does not
meet at Brandenburg in sufficient numter, which
we consider impossible after what passed yesterday
evening. An arrangement, in which the Crown
shall take the initiative, is regarded at Potsdam as
the first step in a dangerous road. It is believed at
Potsdam that Mr. CAMPHAUSEN will be again at the
head of the Ministry. If the Octroye Constitution is
put in force, the Court will return to Berlin."
BuEsLau, Nov. 24.—The President of Upper

A Washington correspondent of yesterday's New York
Herold says—
" The amount of stock of the late loan, issued-on fo-
reign account this week, was unprecedentedly large, be-
ing over a million of dollars. It was apportioned as fel-
lowsi—England, 764,100 dolls.; Spain, 13,000 dolls.;
France, 36,300 dolls.; Germany, 167,000 Rio,
4.000 dulls.; Switzerland, 1,800; Madeira, 7,000 dolls.;
Canada, 80,000 dolls.—Total, 1,073,700 dolls.
" But a small portion of this was issued on account of
Messrs. Corcoran and Riggs. Madame Josephine Weiss,.
the directors of the Viennoise children, took 47,000 dolls.
under the head of Germany. She, in the first place,
purchased treasury notes of the issue of 1847, to the
amount of 45,000 dollars, and then funded them in-stock,
together with the interest which had accrued-2,000
dolls. We recommend gentlemen who have nothir.g
to
do, to figure up how many steps must have been danced
in order to acquire such a snug little fortune as the won .
thy lady has just invested in United States stock.

We have reason to believe that Mr. Barkly, M.P.
for Leominster, leas been appointed to succeed Sir J.
Light as Governor of British Guiana. Mr. Barkly is,
we believe, a West India proprietor, and has obtained,
during his short experience in rcorliament, considerable
distinction by the knowledee he has displayed on com-
mercial and colonial subjects. Mr. Barkly was not a
supporter of the pretent Gov(rnment, and his appoint-
ment cannot, therefore, be attributed to political fa-
youritisra.—Times,

"IT IS TOO LATE! "

THE CASE OF MARY SPRY AND MARY
ANN DORE.

The apology of the doctors to these unfortunate but respectable
women, which appears in the "Medical Gazette" of last Saturday,
comes too late. Mrs. Dere will go to an early grave in consequenee
of the dreadful charge which was brought against her. As a slight
atonement for the great wrong which has been done, we recommend
the doctors to enter into a subscription for the 2001. which the parties
spent in their defence. It is quite clear that but for the British Col-
lege of Health this awful case would have been smuggled away.
The trial took place in August, and it is not until last Saturday that
the least reparation was attempted. We say again, " It is too late I"

LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1848.

Rome has recently been the scene of several extra-
ordinary -and lamentable occurrences. So extra-
ordinary and so lamentable, indeed, have been the
events of November in the Eternal City that the
latest intelligence received from the Italian peninsula
is of the most astounding and contradictory cha-
racter. According to one medium of information the
capital was entirely in the hands of the populace ;
according to another the President of the newly
elected Democratic Government was nominated by the
Sovereign PONTIFF, as a man devoted to his Holiness
both by his orthodoxy as a Catholic and his predilec-
tions as a statesman. Letters received from Sardinia
assert that the representatives in the Roman
Chamber of Deputies were panic-stricken and
scattered ; while dispatches received by electric
telegraph announce that PIO MONO had been driven
from the chief city of his dominions by the victorious
democrats. Through the whole of these conflicting
assertions, it is manifest that the Romans have acted
in a manner unworthy of themselves, and insulting
to the benevolence of their paternal and illustrious
Sovereign. They have revealed to Europe a spec-
tacle of ingratitude, the like of which has never been
fitted forT
witnessed either in modern times or in the ages of anti•

be by no means difficult. They crouched down at the
feet of a despotic ruler like GREGORY XVI , while
they have only treated with insolence, with cruelty,
and with the most detestable outrages, a Father and
a Patrio`, like Pius IX. They have one while gro-
velled like slaves under the, iron rule of LAMBRUS-
CHINS ; and at another titre they have risen in rebellion
against the olive rod of his constitutional successors.
When invested with the tiara, Cardinal CAPELLARI
struck the Romans into obedience with the mailed
hands of his soldiery, and those Romans remained
loyal as subjects and tractable as sycophants. When
Cardinal FERRETTL has resigned the purple .for the
embroidered robes of the Pontificate, scarcely two years
have elapsed before his beneficent administration is
recompensed with the insults and crimes of a
sanguinary and degraded rabble. In Austria

the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tut:My of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair onher head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an ils, bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, bet as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itt far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact..-3, Swan-street, Borough.
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it s. most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops
on the erown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of as
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on ehildren's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
