NOTICE TO EQUITABLE POLICY. HOLDERS.
UNITED KINGDOM LIFE A. SSURANCE
COMPANY,

8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.
The attention of the Equitable Policy Holders le particularly
called to the Half Credit Scales of Premium of this Company, by
which Table the Bonus to be declared at the next investigation, in
January, 1850, may be secured at a present Annual Payment of one-
half the rates charged by other Companies. In the event of death,
the sum insured will be paid, less the amount of Premiums on Credit.
Should the life insured survive the declaration of the Bonus, the
Policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounceal l
claim for the Half Premiums which may be due thereon ; or, in the
event of the party being at that time in bad health, the Policy can be
kept up breommencing to pay the full Premium of the age as when
first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Company, was
found peculiarly advantageous at the last Equitable Division in 1810,
when it was largely, adopted, and many of the Policies then effected
are still in force, and large Bonuses have been added to them on the
scale of the following Table:—

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 530,0001.
Loans granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies s',all have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under 501.

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.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 17.—The Comet steam-vessel,
Lieutenant-Commander Johnston, arrived at Kingstown,
Dublin, on Monday, from this port, at 5 A.m., and landed
20,0001. sterling of the money she carried out for the
relief of the distressed Irish. On Tuesday she proceeded
to Waterford, where she would land another moiety of
the 80,0001. From Waterford she would proceed to
Cork. No other man-of-ear was at Kingstown when
the Comet left.

The Bulldog steam-sloop, Commander Davies, will
be ready for sea, if no fresh disaster befall her, to-
morrow night. Her newly appointed engineers have
joined.

- The Myrtle steam-vessel, a little craft of 116 tons and
60-horse power, arrived yesterday evening from the
eastward, to supply the Cornet's place as a dispatch
boat during the absence of the latter on the coast of
Ireland, distributing money and meal to alleviate the
prevailing distress.

Her Majesty's ship Scout spoke, April 20, in lat.
26 degrees N., long. 18 degrees 40 minutes \V., the
barque Esk, from Trieste, bound to Pernambuco ;
May 6, in latitude 1 degree 30 minutes N., longitude

degrees 23 minutes W., the ship Nepaul, Ewing master,
of Greenock, bound to Bombay, with loss of main and
wizen masts,—after rigging jury masts for her, parted
from her, bound to Rio Janeiro to refit.
PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 16.—His Imperial Majesty's Rus-
sian corvette Abo arrived here from Naples on the 11th
instant, bound to Cronstadt, has been since detained
by light contrary winds. During her detention Captain
Nordmann and other officers ..;ttacbeA to her have
visited the Pore-Admiial; -Sir. John West, Admiral-Su-
perintendent Sir Samuel Pym, and other heads of de-
partments.

Li company with the Russian Consul, Mr. Luscombe,
the following gentlemen attended the ball given on Mon-
day night in aid of the Female Orphan Asylum at Stoke,
which was under the patronage of the Earl of Auckland,
viz.:—Captain Nordmann, aide-de-camp to his Imperial
Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias ; Captain Rud-
ner, Lieutenant Golovin, Lieutenant Corosackoff, Baron
Luvenstern, and Count Aprafin, officers of the Abo. The
same gentlemen were yesterday afternoon conducted over
her Majesty's dockyard by Sir William Symonds, the
Surveyor to the Navy.
DEVONPORT, SEPT. 16.—0 n Monday evening the Earl
of Auckland and the Lords of the Admiralty dined with
the Hon. 11. Murray, Commander of the Forces in the
Western District, at Mouutwise.

On Tuesday morning their Lordships transacted
business at the Royal Hotel. At eleven o'clock they
visited the Royal Naval Hospital, the Royal Marine
Barracks, and the Royal William Victualling-yard at
Stonehouse.

To-day the Lords of the Admiralty inspect the River
Tamer, and in the evening dine with the Earl of Mount-
Edgecumbe.

To-morrow, in all probability, their Lordships will
proceed in the Lightning steamer to inspect her Majesty's
Dockyard at Pembroke.

WOOLWICH, SEPT. I7.—Her Majesty's steam-packet
Garland, Captain Smithett, has resumed her duties on
the Dover station, having been absent three weeks,
attending on the Queen during the royal cruises. The
Garland appears to have gained great favour with her
Majesty from the extraordinary speed she manifested
the whole time she was with the royal squadron, no
other steamer having the smallest chance of keeping pace
with her, much to the astonishment of every officer and
person on board the other vessels.

- The Garland is ordered to be at Ostend on the 20th
inst., to meet Lieutenant Waghorn, R.N., who is ex-
peck(' to arrive there on that day with the overland
mail from India, via Trieste, Germany, Belgium, &c. In
the event of the dispatches reaching London on Monday
next, it will be an extraordinary triumph for this truly
enterprising gentleman and all concerned in the experi-
ment.

The Athol troop-ship was brought clown the river
yesterday from Deptford to Woolwich, and her neces-
sary repairs are expected to be completed by Monday
next, when she will embark Captain Thorndike's com-
pany of the Royal Artillery for Barbadoes, and Captain
D'Arley's company of the Royal Artillery for Bermuda.
No. 1 Company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, sta-
tioned at present at Woolwich, have been ordered to em-
bark in the Athol, under the command of Captain Gor-
don, of the Royal Engineers, for a passage!: to Bermuda,
to relieve the company at that station. No. 1 Company
will embark 70 strong, and on arriving at Bermuda will
be joined by 30 of the youngest privates serving there
at present, to raise the company to 100 men. The others
will return to headquarters at Woolwich.
The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master Commander
S. B. Cook, returned to Woolwich at half-past seven
o'clock yesterday morning from attending on his Grace
the Duke of Wellington, Commander-in-Chief, and the
Marquis of Anglesey, Master. General of the Ordnance,
during the visit of these distinguished officers to Sheer-
nesi and Chatham.

The Aurora corvette, belonging to his Majesty the
King of Sardinia, and commanded by Captain the Mar-
quis Spinola, arrived at Woolwich at eight o'clock P.M.
yesterday,,and remains at moorings opposite the Dock-
yard. The gallant Captain came on shore at eleven
o'clock A.m. to-day, and accompanied the Sardinian
Minister to the Royal Arsenal. There are betwixt 30
and 40 officers employed in, or studying for, the naval
service of the Sardinian Government on board, who have
come to this country to visit the principal naval and
military establishments in England.
The Sidon. steam-frigate, Captain Henderson, remains
opposite the Dockyard, Woolwich, and a number of ship
carpenters are employed upon her to get her ready for
sea. A very serious accident occurred on board on
Tuesday evening on her arrival at Woolwich, imme-
diately after her return. It, appears that two fine able-
bodied seamen were stationed at her bows to let go the
anchor to hold the vessel in the river, and that by some
means the cable caught hold of them, and store off the
left arm of George Bone, and three lingers of the right
hand of William Bayly. The sufferers were immedi-
ately attended to; and in the course of the night brought
on shore to- the Royal Marine Hospital, where they re•
main, in a better condition than could have been expected
under the circumstances and the severe nature of the
injuries they have sustained.

The Emily and Henry hired convict•ship, with 176
female convicts on board, hoisted her sailing signal this
morning, and is expected to leave her moorings, opposite
the Royal Arsenal, in the course'of the afternoon.

MURDER OF A CADI IN ALGIERS.
A grievous event, the murder of the Cadi (chief
magistrate) Lakhal, of the Ouled-Ahmed tribe, has
lately taken place in the province of Constantina. The
Cadi was making a journey through the district under
his authority, for the purpose of receiving the taxes, ac-
companied only by some horsemen of his tribe and his
servants. On the night of the 16th ult. this native chief
had established his bivouac on the spot called Guiltet-
el-Farat, near a douar, or encampment of a fraction of
the Olmas. Part of the night had already elapsed with.
out the occurrence of anything to arouse the fears of
Lakbal or his suite, and the servants of the Cadi, who had
kept a good guard against marauders, were about to
betake themselves to their slumber, when the report of a
gun was suddenly heard from the tent of their chief.
Some immediately snatched up their arms, while others
took to flight under the impression of the danger by
which they were menaced. Lakbal, although wounded,
at once rose to face his assailants, upon whom he fired
his gun, and afterwards attempted to defend himself with
the butt, but speedily fell lifeless at the feet of his assas-
sins, pierced with numerous mortal wounds ; the mur-
derers afterwards mutilating the corpse of the old man
in the most barbarous manner. Scarcely had this crime
been consummated than the perpetrators decamped,
carrying with them the money that had been previously
raised, amounting to about 4,000 f., the horses and the
mules of the murdered Cadi, leaving on the theatre of
this sanguinary drama nothing save a corpse and the
tent, which was too heavy to be'taken with them. The
accomplices in this murder are very numerous, and the
unity with which they have acted has called for prompt
repression. Lieutenant-General Bedeau quitted Con-
stantina on the 21st of August at. the head of a column,
to avenge the death of this faithful chief, who fell a vic-
tim to his devotion to France. Numerous hostages have
already fallen into the hands of Lieutenant-General
Bedeau, and it is hoped that the assassins will soon be
delivered up. —Sud de Marseilles.

THE SPANISH MATCH.—AII the jewellers and gold-
smiths of Paris are at work on ornaments for the mar-
riage of that poor little victim the Queen of Spain,
doomed to be executed to her cousin. The finery is
spoken of, by competent judges of such matters, as being
very superb. The" diamonds are said to be as bright and
almost as numerous as the tears shed by the bride, and
the gold trinkets almost as heavy as her sighs. Her
hymeneal manacles, though they may gall 'her to the
bone, will at least be magnificently chased. No mock°
widow was ever burned with greater splendour than will
attend the Spanish bride to the altar. She-will be sacri-
ficed to marriage like a Queen. And when she has
given her hand to her cousin, and promised to give her
heart, the spirits of hypocrisy, and guile, and fraud
(especiallye th a a y), will chant an
composed for the occasion by
that great master of domestic discord, the parent of
muminveoxkperdesf,sl)yr the solemnity),
all falsehood. An amnesty will, it is said, be granted,
and all political offences forgiven, on the marriage of the
Queen. Poor thing ! She herself may forgive her
enemies, but, as the Italian says, " it is not ordered that
we should forgive our friends ;" and Isabella may
bitterly remember thot exception gad Pritleges—kunch,

of Westminster, the Dean of Winchester, and all the
Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Secretaries of sections, to-
;ether with Professors Oiirsted, Forchhammer, and Mid-
dendoriT, were entertained at dinner yesterday by the
May or.

entitled to the name of eminent in science in
the British empire. He would, therefore, spurn any
criticism which might be directed against them.
When he saw himself supported by such men
as Herschel, and Owen, and Faraday, he felt
that it was no idle boast on his part, humble
geologist as he was, to say that he spoke in the name of
the united science of Britain. All they required was,
3n open stage and no favour, to have their acts investi-
gated, but instead of that, those who criticised them
seized on mere excrescences of the meeting, which had
no connexion whatever with the great objects which
they were assembled to promote. After some further
remarks, he announced that the Marchioness of Hastings,
Lady Murchison, Mrs. Whitby, Mrs. Philips, and other
ladies had that day paid their subscriptions and become
members of the British Association.
Mr. BULLER moved a vote of thanks to the President.
Dr. RoniNsoN seconded the motion, and observed that
the association was not the first scientific body that
admitted ladies as members. The Royal Irish Academy
had conferred the title of honorary corresponding mem-
bers on two ladies—ono was a near connexion of his
own, and the other was no less than their distinguished
countrywoman, Mrs. Somerville. Her fame was known
to all, but it might not be known to many that, with all
her transcendental mathematical knowledge, which so
much astonished foreign philosophers, she was distin-
guished for her amiability and goodness in all the rela-
tions of private life. The Rev. Doctor alluded in lauda-
tory terms to the respect which Prince Albert had shown
when attending the meetings of their sections to the
opinions of men of superior scientific acquirements.
Mr. L. HORNER thought it right the meeting should
know that the second lady who had been admitted an
honorary member of the Royal Irish Academy was
Maria Edgeworth.—(Cheers.)
The meeting shortly after adjourned.
In concluding our report of the proceedings of the
asscpiatiau‘bsokr.wpmay remark that there were several
interesting exhibitions open in thesrown during the
week. The principal was the model room attached to
the mechanical section, in which were exhibited some
rich specimens of Irish poplins, geological models, fossil
shells, and mathematical instruments. The Messrs.
Sowerby had also an extensive collection of shells and
minerals on view.
The most important feature of interest, not immedi-
ately connected with the association, was, however, the
map-office of the Ordnance survey of Great Britain
which was thrown open to the members of the associa-
tion. All the officers of the establishment, both com-
missioned and non-commissioned, were unremitting in
their attentions to the visitors. Captain Yolland, the
superintendent of the depot, was in particular most
zealous in explaining the ingenious processes which
have been adopted to facilitate the engraving and print-
ing, the perfect arrangement of all the complicated
details of the surveys, the intricacy of the calculations,
and the almost miraculous accuracy which has been
attained, both in the observations and in the manner in
which they are recorded and transcribed. A highly in-
teresting feature in this establishment is the reading-
room, which the deptot has established under the new
regulation. Though there are but thirty men in the
establishment here, they have expended no less than 301,
—partly subscriptions from their officers—in fitting up
a neat and commodious reading-room. It is provided
with about a dozen large framed prints—one a present
from her Majesty, two great geological maps of Great
Britain and Ireland, coloured. Arrowsmith's large Atlas,
and 824 volumes of books. The latter were, however,
previously collected by the company under Captain
Yolland's command. The reading-room is also provided
with two or three of the leading London morning papers,
and a selection of the best magazines and reviews.

VISIT or THE ASSOCIATION TO PORTSMOUTH.
PORTSbIOUTH, SEPT. 17.—A great number of ladies
and gentlemen connected with the British Association,
having their president, Sir R. I. Murchison, with them,
arrived from Southampton, by the South-Western Rail-
way, at the Clarence-yard, Gosport, this morning, at
eleven. There must have been upwards of 50, for Admiral
Sir Charles Ogle sent his barge, and those of the Vic-
tory and Excellent, with some other boats, to embark
the party, and they were packed so close that the men
had to lay in their after oars. The distinguished party
first went on board her Majesty's ship Excellent, and
were received by Captain Chade and his officers, and a
prodigious number of half-pay officers and others, who
expected to see some experimental operations, suggested
by members of the association. After several introduc-
tions had taken place, the party went over the upper
and lower decks, and the guns being cast loose, they
first witnessed the gun drill, and then several rounds of
quick firing with blank cartridge from the 32-pounders,
and the 8-inch and 10-inch guns. Inquiry was then
made for some of Professor Schonbein's gun-cotton to
be tried, but it happened that he was not one of the
party, having, it was said, gone to London to take out
a patent for his invention. Some disappointment was felt
by the naval people on the occasion, but there was no
help, and the only satisfaction which could be obtained
and given to those who expected to have witnessed the
explosive effects of the gun-cotton was an assurance
that the Board of Ordnance had ordered one hundred
weight to be purchased, and that it was to be tested at
Woolwich, and on board the Excellent, when furnished
by the Learned Professor. After the ladies and gen-
tlemen had adjourned to the poop of the Excellent to
observe the effect of two 68-pounder shot, which were
fired at the wreck of the iron steamer Ruby, both of
which hit her, and knocked away large fragments, Sir
R. Murchison, for himself and the members of the asso-
ciation, expressed to Captain Chads his thanks for the
attention which had been paid to them, and the gratifi-
cation they felt in witnessing what had been done in
this short Visit; 'the barges were then brought alongside,
and the parties went to her Majesty's ship, Victory,
packed as close as before ; here Captain Pasco and his
officers received them, and escorted them over
the ship, pointing out the various objects of cu•
riosity in her, particularly the spot on which Nelson
fell when wounded; the company, wany of whom
had never been on board so large a ship, were much
gratified when taken over the store-rooms, which
were lighted up for the occasion, and after remaining on
board near an hoar, the greater part of the members and
their friends landed at the dockyard, and proceeded to
Admiral Sir C. Ogle's house, where a splendid lunch had
been provided on a most liberal scale. After lun-
cheon at Sir C. Ogle's, the party, much increased in
numbers, and apparently mustering one hundred persons,
went over the dockyard in groups, and were attended by
Mr. Brown, the senior master attendant, and Mr. Fin-
eham, the master shipwright, who took them to the block
machinery, metal mills, smithery, new steam basin, test-
house, hydraulic pump, rope-house, sail loft, &c. About
five o'clock the party left the yard, and were taken across
the harbour to the Clarence victualling department,
which they inspected—the various parts of the baking
machinery being explained by Mr. Grant, the store-
keeper and inventor of it. In the evening the learned
body returned to their quarters at Southampton.

MR. BULWER'S NOTE TO SENOR

ISICURITZ.

The following is the first note addressed to Senor
Isturitz by Mr. Bulwer, the British ambassador at
Madrid, protesting against the proposed marriage be-
tween the Infanta of Spain and the Due de Mont-
pensier :

" Madrid, Aug. 31, 1846.
" I have heard (though not from your Excellency)
that in addition to the marriage of the Queen with Don
Francisco de Assis, which has been announced to me,
the Infanta Donna Luisa is to be married at the same
time to the Due de Montpensier, son of the King of the
French. Far be it from me to dispute whatever may be
her Majesty the Queen of Spain's intention towards her
royal sister, but I much regret that it is my duty to ob-
serve to you that this marriage taking place at the same
time as her Majesty Queen Isabella's, as I am informed
it is to do, appears to me under all the circumstances of
the case, one of the most grave events that can happen
in Europe, and that I fear exceedingly may tend very
materially to alter the relations of Spain with those
powers that have hitherto made it one of the chief ob-
jects of their policy to maintain the national inde-
pendence of this country. Ido not make any apology
for this note, since you are fully aware that the marriage
of the Infanta can in no way be considered a private
marriage, and that it is especially regarded an affair of
state by the laws of Spain.
(S'gned) " H. L. BULWER.
" His Excellency F. D. Xavier Isturitz.

CART ACClDENT.—Yesterday an accident of a
serious nature occurred to a youth named Edwin
Moulder, aged thirteen years, whose friends reside at
Brixton. He was riding on the shaft of a cart, and
while passing along Larkhall•lane to Forest-hill be fell
off, and before the horse could be stopped the near
wheel passed over his head, and the horse kicked him
on-the base of the skull. He was raised up and carried
to the nearest surgeon's, but he remained in an uncon-
scious state for several hours. He was conveyed to tae
accident ward of Guy's Hospital, where he was placed
under the care of Mr. Walling, the assistant-surgeon,
who ascertained that he had roaeived concussion of the
brain and other fearful injuries, which will most probably
PrOYe Attttl.
