LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

Fnum'ed A D. 1815.
HEAD OFFICE--No. 5, St. .-tudrevv-square, Edinburgh

The Assured or Members are the only arties interested in the
Funds of this Institution, which now amounts to uuwards of
THREE MILLIONS STERLING.
The Society's claims to public confidence and sapped arc grounded
mainly on the sound and equitaWe principles of its constitution, and
im the care and success with which its operations have been con-
ducLed from their co -amenceinent up to the present time.
While the Premiums are not hither than those require i by many
other Offices, the Society does not pretend to compete with those
which bold out the attractions of cheap rates, whether as being the
lowest which are compatible with safety, or as being based on what
is termed the " HALF-CREDIT SYSTEM."
There being no Proprietary, however, those of the Assured who by
the terms of their policies are entitled to participate in the Profits of
tbe•SoeletV, are the only parties who derive benefit from the rates
being* more than what are found from time to time to be required to
meet the a,itual risks; and the result of past allecations of Surplus
P, /At, 'has been such that in the ease of all the earlier Policies,
which have become claims within the last few years, the amount,
pail to thy representatives of deceased Members have been MORE
THAN DOUBLE THE SUMS ORIGINALLY ASSURED.

In eases where family provision is the s,6# object this result cannot
fall to be considered as of the most satistactorY nature ; while in other
instance--, where the part:es are desirous securing benefit from the
Surplus Payments DURING THEIR OWN LIVES, instead of allowing the
Bonus to remain an addition to the Assurance payable at death, the
alternatives practicable under the laws of the office ha. e been com-
mensurate in degree. In many cases, in consideration of an aban-
donment of the reversionary clai r s or Bonus Adillams ahead, de-
clared, such parties have either re,eived lure; payments in PRESENT
CASH, or have been LONG AGO , NTIRELY BELIEVED FROM FURTHER
PAYMENT OF PREMIUM, the Policies still remaining ent tied to pariici-
pate in future allocations of the profits. _ _

.. Committee nu .Foreign relations, reported a reso
lution to the effect that no further legislation' wits
necessary in order to put an end to the treaty with
Denmark regulating the Sound Dues, and the sub
-ject• WaS made a special order-for discussion. •
Mr. Seyer, as the sole representative of.the State
ofAlissouri,-referring to the Kansas discussion, said
that the circum,tancesunderw-hich the debate was
inaugurated seemed to indicate 41, purpose to make
political capital out of the Kansas disttirbances,
with a view of controlling the coining national and
State elections. In such a controversy hp had no
disposition to engage ; it was, however, his duty to
defend his constituents against -ilograve and seri-
mist' Charges brought against them. He then pro 7
ceeiled to consider the constitutiMal 'aspect. of the
slavery question, contending that .the power of
C ngress to make all needful rules and regulations
in reori to the'territories and other- property of
the United States- extends to the public domain
on'y; "and not to the domeStic affairs or institutions
of the territory.'

On the motion 'of Mr. Humphrey Marshall, the
Committee on Foreign Affairs was instructed to in-
quire into the expediency of de3laring the 'engage-
ment Of American vessels in the Chinese coolie trade
to be illegal and A. sufficient cause of forfeiture to
the ca.ptors of the ship engaged therein.
It was resolved on this subject, on the motion of
Mr 'Pringle, bf New York, that the President be
requested to communicate what information he may
possess in regard to citizens of the United States
being engaged in the slave trade or the transporta
tion in American ships of coolies from China to
Cuba- and other countries with the intention of
placing or continuing them in a state of slavery or
servitude, and whether such traffic is not, in hiA
'opinion, a 'violation of the spirit of existing treaties,
rendering theiie engaged in it liable to indictment.
for piracy, and espeJially that he be requested to
communicate to the House the facts and circum-
stances attending the shipment from China of some
50) coolies in the Sea Witch, of New York, aves-

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald says :—" I understand that the English

ROYAL SURREY GARDENS COMPANY.

The first annual meeting of the sharsholder3 in this
company took place nn Saturday at the King's .A.rn-s,
New Palace-yard, Westminster; R. A. &alley, EN., in
the chi.r.-

Mr. W. ELLIS, the sicretary, read the report, At hich
stated that 3,094 shares having been paid upon, the com-
plete, registration of the company with limited liability
had been certified, and her Maj Isty ha'l graciously given
permission to adopt the present title of the company.
The deed of settlement was signed by 123 shareholders,
representing 3,023 shares, and there were 12 share-
holders, representing 71 shares, who had not yet signed
the deed. The building, under the superintendence of
Mr. Horace Jones, the architect, was almost ready to
receive the roof ; the gardens hal been tliormghly
drained, and the entire grounds had Evsurned a new a
improved aspect. The entire preparat:on4 had been nuclei-
taken by Mr. Damson, whilst the nurieal director, M..ms.
Julien, was now on the Continent making arrangements
for the coming season. The committee hieieved that the
amount of capital contemplated in the ptosuectus would
be sufficient, whilst the profits which had been eaten-
iated to accrue were less than might really be reckoned
upon.
The report having been adopt,,clt
The CHAIRMAN said that wheni Parliament be had
nrecired the app=ointment of a ominittee of pubic
w(.rks end gardens, and from this c nunittee suggestions
had emanated for obtaining VictOria-park, Primrose-
hill, and other places for the recreation of the people.
The great increase of population iii the metropolis and
in the large towns called for additional means of amuse-
ment and healthy recreation, and he therefore had great
pleasure in giving his assistance to this undertaking,
which he had no doubt would prove-beneficial to the
Public and profitable to the shareholders. He thought,
however, that it would be desirable to appropriate ene
day in the week to the admission of the working classes
at a reduced charge.
The Chairman and Sir Henry Webb, Bart., were ap-
pointed trustees of the company. The committee of ma-
eagement were elected directors for the ensuing, year,„
and.a call-was ma4o{-,4/. per share, payablic:l3sl.the 4.111,
of May. This was unanimously agreed to" by the share-
holders present; and thanks having- been -voted-to the
~committee of management andto the chairman, the
business terminated.

(Froin'th,e Times of this day.)
The..-Treasury 'Presents` its Estimates to the
House of Commons as a small tradeSman presents
his little bills. In a country towna good'customer
aievei knows what he has, to pay ; there is- always
.squaething.'ailditional. The -account once opened,
it becomes a sort of wound which it would be
to close ' the door once opened td the village
carnenter'brbuilder, he haunts the house for ever,
like a rat or a ghost ; your- morning slumbers are
disturbed by, the noise of falling tiles, and you vat:
your dinrier to the sound of eternal hammering:
The job is always half-done and when in a fit .of
disgust you tell ,John to get that man's bill and.
dismiss him, lie can't get it, and he •can't dismiss-
him'; the roan has something still on band, and
before: he nialte§ up his account he has to wait for
the account of some other man, of name unknown,
whom he employed in some incomprehensible work
of detail—a lock or a pipe,, or nobody knows what:
So it fared wirh the celebrAed Mr. Briggs, and so
it happens to the House of Co7mnons. 'There is
DO end to the bill, and the house that votes mil-
lions upon Millions without a grudge is asked for a
few thousands more, in the same. peddling spirit
with wh'cli a petty tradesman, whose yearly bill
has jut >en paid in full, as WAR fondly imagined,
bothers one about as. 641. for extra work.... There
..was. a. -good deal of' confusion in the Ditimates,
as we have gone over them alrealy, but we were
not prepared.for the further cl,n fusion in the series.
of Estinitv es,No. VII., which aredeviatedto "Mix-
cellaneous, Special, and Temporary Objects," ano
are to come before the house to-night. Frain these--
it would appear that the public accounts are like:
a lady's letter—a series of postscripts stretch-
ing to infinity, small by degrees and beautifully
lesS. It was bad enough that we should have the
Pont:office accounts mixed up -in three different
series of et4n,rotes—first of all in those of the it've-
nue dep:irtuients, then in those of the navy, lastly,
in those of the public dep,rtments generally ; -and
perhaps. our readers will nut be able to comprehend
by what strange process these accountssliould come
to 'be so divided. It must therefore be explaiped
that in the first vote we have an estimate fur the
working of the Post-office, in the seiaand an esti-
mate for the packet service, wile in the third we
have a separate estimate of .the sum required for
the postages of. the navy and other public depart-
ments. There is something in this last item that
shows a genius tor confusion in the Treasury, the
cost of postage for the navy, being charged neither
to the debit of the Admiralty nor to the credit of
the Post-office, but to a third account, called
" General Expenses." And then there is a fourth
account still required for the superannuation al
lowanees of the Post-office, while in the report of
the Postmaster-General and in the, accounts of
public income we have a fifth statement of postal
returns.

All this, is very absurd, and the worst of it is
that the same vicious system pervades all the Esti-
mates. If we take up any one item it random, it is
impossible to state what is the total sum which is
devoted to it, and in how many different papers it
is stated. The army.ata navy medals, for example
—who shall compare the Estimates of last year with
those of the present year, and tell whether we shall
discover the final vote for it under the head of the
Army or of the Navy, of the Mint, or of the
"Temporary Objects" which have given •rise to
these remarks ?.•
. .

The sum which is demanded in these Estimates
amounts to 450,0001. The various charges that go
to make up this total are paltry enough,: but the
more' trifling these charges are the greater right
have we
,to complain that they were not included
in the origual accounts. They are the last feathers
that break the public patience; they illustrate a
system which, when it comes to these details, is too
ridiculous and too troublesome to be borne. Here,
for instance, are a number of votes asked for rati-
ons commissions—for St,tute Law, for Common
Law, for Chancery, for County Courts, forCivilSer-
vice, for Lunacy in Scotland, for Endowed Schools
in Irelat.d. Common sense surely requires that the
expenses of these 's,)minissions should be classed
under the exp :us us of the Public Departments, and
the EndowedSchoon Commission under the E 'met-
catioual grant. Who can tell us what is voted
' annually for Education and Science ? We have just
mentioned one item ; there is a further su,n in the
present estititatee-for Professors at Cimbridget in
the Army Estimates we heir of so much for Wool-
wich, in the Navy Estimates of so much for the
Greenwich Observatory, and so on, a few poun-ls
here and. a few poutuls there. ILre, ag an, we are
asked fur 5001. fur Via Lunacy Gmninission in Scot-
lend ; in the Esti:nat s No. I[.,
.for the " Public
Departments," 1,3101, is asked for the ‘• contingent
expenses of the dornini-sioners in Lunacy," and
ten times that sum is pail, besides, out of the Con.
solidate I Fond. Is it monstrows to expect that all
these sums should be classed tog.Aher, and that we
should know at once what' is required under any one
1103.41 of service? Here, ton, we nave sums dT;mantled
for -Battersea Park, for Chelsea embankment, for
Windsor improvements, for Embassy-houses, for
Consulate buildings, for Ughthouses, for the Irish
National Gallery. It is,difficult to understand why
these votes are not classed under the heal of
" Public Works," or something else more appro-
priate than the stupid heading .of • Tempotary
Objects." For the police at Ahlershott 7,500/. is
wilted ; why.wais not this asked under the head
either of " Police" or of the "Army?" It will
be observed-that we 01-tiect principally to thelman-I.
ner of Stating- the accounts, but we have equally
gond grounds for objecting to some of the charges
themselves. What, for instance, is the meaning of
this 7,5001. for the police at Aldershott ? Cannot
the soldiers he made to take care of themselves ?
The heroes of discipline, the creatures of drill, re-
quire a .lot of policemen to keep them in order !
It is a specimen of how all our public departments
are managed, not one of them being self-sufficient,
but every one requiring to be patched up by auxi,
Nary departments and reported upon by extempore
commissions. Throughout these Estimates we
find the same absurd want of unity, and the same
Wasteful expenditure. Under the Patent Law
'Amendment Act, it is stated that 8,400/. is re-
quired for "fees to law officers of the Crown in
England." The sum is enormous, and, .even were
it reasonable, it surely belongs to a different page
of the national ledger. It will be further found
that under the same act 4,5221. is to-be voted for
" compensations." The Patent Clerk to the At-
torney and Solicitor-General gets wade:- this head
sum greater than the half-pay of an Admi-
ral, double that of the general clerk of the Eucum-
bered Estates Commission, and equal to the com-

are puzzled to knew why these gentlemen, together
with the Lord-Advocate, should not receive suffi-
cient salaries, stated once for all, and whether
these "compensations" are to be continued to the
subsequent holders of their offices? We are very
sure that the public will not long endure to have
its financial - statements in 'mit inextricable
confusion. It would be a disgrace to the
petty tradesman who,e transactions seldom get

who chronicles small beer in chalk on the back of

fusion. It is not simply a disgrace—it is criminal.

nearly 100,000,4 M/. a-year—a sum-easily written

(Prom the Morning Advertiser of this day.)

The month of May, the chosen season of sonnets
and lioft vows, being at hand, this country, yet
shaking from: the rude blasts of war, is to be treated
with.l,e'iolding a wooing in high places. The old
walls of Windsor are to witness a gay betrothal. A
young Prince, of tht; " chivalrous and most consti•
tutional dynasty of Hohenzollern," comes a-clurt-
ing the Princess Royal of England. How full of
joy to overflowing must be the heart of every
Englishman on this auspicious occasion 1 Who
more welcome to Great Britain, in the interesting
character of a suitor, than the youthful nephew of
sn trusty and well-beloved an Ally as the renowned
King Cliquot ! The delightful possibility, especi-
ally—the thought, enchanting for a patriot, that
through this intended marriage, the sceptre of
Great Britain might, perchance, on some future
day,.pass into the hands of a Hohenzollern—this
idea is so overwhelming that we may well be ex.
cused7i.f.; in the fulness of our feelings oh thisAsub-
ject, we are enabled to set forth, in proper terms,
the claims the Prussian Prince has to our esteem
and 'admiration: -• • .
-His claims, in fact, are of the Meal 'varrona -and.
the choiCest description. Whether we look to the
satisfactory political ConditiOn of the kingdoni this
young Prince expects hereafter to rule ; or whether
• we consider the principles of Liberalism is; which

he .was:edncated by his father ; whether we regard
the ideas of constitutional freedom he has imbibed
from the.courtly entourage at Berlin ;
.or whether.
we contemplate his intimate relations with the im-
perial UmilY of the meek and much-abused empire
of Russia—in all and every, respect this princely
Suitor must recommend himself highly to the affec-
tion and syinpathies of the people of England.
Indeed, look at,the honours and noble-properties
he inherits. . Is he not the eon. of..hini whom the
people of Genitally have designated the "Grape-
shot Prince ?" • Look, again, at the principles,
moral and political, that have been instilled into
him. He has been duly ;tutored by a monarchic
Cate rills, which inscribes massacre, , espionage,
' theft of public dricuthents; unfair duelling, and
other "noblo acconiplishments,":in .the decalogue
of her morality. Regard the constitutional school
in which lie was reared. He comes from a Court
whose ruling principle has been a series of coup
d'etats. Look at the. astounding popularity of the
dynasty he represents. He belongs Co a royal family
whose sovereign heal, as well as his own father,
,have thrice, within a few years, had narrow escapes
from.the retributive bullet. Look at the dynas-
t c he offers to. his bride. • He is
the eventual heir to a kingdom, the population of
which can only he kept dOwu by the bayonet, by
strangling the Press, and by the iron gripe of the
police. Cook at the le:olleotions of his youth. His
earliest politinl reinetribrances must furnish him
the picture of a capital in revolt, an insurgent peo-
ple his Royal. Uncle in his. palace, and
drivirg out his own father into exile. Lex:ok at the
oolitical education given him when entering the
first stage of manhood. Scarcely hati he attained
the age of eighteen when in the train,of his fathers
in the south-west of Germany,, he ha I. t ► feed 'fits
eyes on the spectacle of fusillades, floggings, and
imprisonments, by which the flower of German
democracy was decimated and. tortured. Lastly,
look at the friendships this same young Prince cul-
tivates at the present moment, and to the military
rank he occupies in a country neighbouring to his
own. We 1, thebti:n Icy lie most delight.: in is
that df the young Grand Dukes of the Muscovite
Court; and among his military title's is that
of " Colonel of the Bth Regiment of Russian
Hu,sars !"

Such are the promising circumstances connected
with the character, position, and prospects of our
expected guest. And with these unrolled before
us, can there be a doubt of the advantages that
would accrue to this country by being united to the
noble house of Hohenzollern, through the ties of
matrimonial contract, and the law of inheritance !
Can there be a q testion whether Frederick Wil-
liam Nicholas ought, or ought not, to be received
with open arms.to the hearthstone of an English
Palace ? Wl.y, through the projected alliance with
a Prince of the Court 'of Berlin, Great Britain
would again become re-linked to the Coum of St.
Petersburg. The holy alliance of despots, momen-
tarily broken through by the late war, would thus
be re-established in a wanner most firm and durable
by these marital means. Are we -not, then, to
congratulate ourselves on this new guarantee for
our cherished "free institutions ?" Are we not to
rejoice that Frederick William IV., and Alex-
ander If., assisted by Leopold of Belgium, will
make up, henceforth, a choice of advisers and
Crown councillors for the Government of the
British Isles ?
But enough of this. Let us now address a word
in earnest to those with whom the fate of the Prin-
cess Royal will depend. The Royal child—for such
she still is, though the duties of the woman are
already to 'be imposed upon her—is, no doubt,
little aware what desti.ry may await her when
mounting, if she ever does, that throne of Prussia,
whose rotteuxess is now unseen by her infantile eyes.
Tile Royal Princess can scarcely he supposed to
understand what feelings animate the people who
are, even now perhaps, pointed out to her as her
future su'ijects. The life of the daughter of Queen
Victoria has hitherto passed along in a placid
stream of security and ease. Nothing knows she
of the Revolutionary storms that shook the Prus-
sian throne—nothing f the ghastly scenes of
March, 1848, when th• King, with uncovered head,
was conipelle4 by the people to do penance before
the corpses of his sill jects that he had slaughtered,
whilst a Queen of Prussia lay swooning in terror,
only to awaken to tears an•l lamentations. Tile
' Princess Royal kn )ws notliins,. of the hideous
sacres performed by .he fa, her of her expected'
Itusletnil,—uothing of the consequent conspiracies
against the hate.il H'llso Of H
of the Republican sentiments that have destroyed
or undermined the bigot. loyalty of populations,
once the most obedient in all Germany.
Under these circumstances, we ask—ls it in con-
formity with national policy thus to embark the
daughter of Queen Victoria in the frail vessel of
the Prussian dynasty, and to trust her to a sea,
which, however apparently calm at present, may
any moment be lashed to fury 1 y the storm of
popular indignation ?"- I- it. • possible that, to suit
certain poll i,:al schemes, the innocent and amiable
Prinees4 R .yal should he offered up a sacrifice to
kingly statecraft ?
We fear greatly it will be so ; for, all the minutiae
of the marri.ige appear already arranged and pre-
concertet At Berlin, at least, we are told, the
young Prince has astred permission from his Royal
uncle to proceed on his- wooing errand to the Eng-
lish shores ; and Frederick William IV., it is re-
port° I, has granted his consent in a solemn cere-
monial, being surrounded by his whole Court asset-
bled for the purpose in the Palace. Thus, it seem,
this matritnonial union may be almost considere
as an accomplished fact. In the meanwhile, a
invisible hand is writing on the Palace-walls of
Berlin the doom of the h muse of Hohenzollern
and perhaps hut few years may pass over before
the Mene .Tekel will receive its terrible fulfilmen4

who called the ocean unsociable—with bread and a

least a peer's ticket for the privileged steamer, or a

Then Jack, with his imperturbable smile and his

turns others down will turn him up. But a truce
to these reflections ; they will undoubtedly occur
to those of our readers whose lot it may be to wit-
ness this imposing spectacle, if they have not oc-
curred already. The chance of seeing for once in
their lives—for once, as never such an occasion may
happen again in• this generation—the means which
this country commands for a naval war, will un-
questionably allure every one who can by force,
favour, importunity, or pay, steal a sight from
Spithead. Sir Charles Wood stated that from
members of the House of Commons alone and from
those who had some claim upon the Admiralty app}
plications had been made in such numbers„.

and all the assembled staidness and sobriety of
England have been thus quickened at the pro-

traction enough, without the accessory of the re.

against vanity ; but it would require many Sqlo-
monsio preach down this. Henceforth, theref Ore,
we shall expect to hear less clever and sharp witti-
cisms against those sights and those .sigiit-seera
whose supporters numbered among the less in-
tellectual and tl as dignified ranks of dur coun.
trymen. The cumm Lod-piA amusements :of th•
town may now challenge more indulgence, when
Lords and Commons ask for a holiday to go'out to
gaze upon a pageantry with all the eagerness o
choolboys.
We do not condemn them ; far from it—the oc-
casion is worthy much cariosity ; and we would be
well content if a far greater number of our country-
men, or indeed half the world, could take a holiday
for such an occasion, and be present at thespectacle.
A well-appointed army is no wean indication of the
civilisation, the resources, the power of a ,nation.
But a navy is more ;—for, as the mastery of the sea
longer in acquiring, and lean epitome of empire
when acquired, so a great and compact navy actually
afloat is the long result of indomitable perseverance,
prudence; and energy, and is an epitome of all the
mechanical skill, the science, the artificial tend na-
tural wealth of a people. It is that 'which gold
cannot buy ; it cannot be created at the nod of the
most powerful despot, it is not a matter of three,
six, or nine months' training ; it cannot be levied by
conscription • it cannot start into being at the
bidding of the most consummate genius, or under
the immediate agencyif the most unlimited means.
Such a fleet as will be gathered together at Spit--
head on Wednesday next, so built, so appointed,
and so manned, 'would require more than a gene-
ration to replace, if it were sunk beneath the sea,
and more than many generations in any other
quarter of the world.

- Many will treat this assertion as an exaggera-
tion, we doubt not ; many who haVe been accus-
tomed to witness the extraordinary mechanical
contrivances of the present day, and to believe that
everything is possible to human industry, will re-
gard this remark with a smile of incredulity. They
will appeal to our dockyards and our railways, and
to those immense material results of human skill
and invention which rise up with such extrnOrdi.

timber, and cordage which go to the formation of

a navy, between the mere ships and all that ig re-
quired to the due and perfect control, use, awl
manning of them—and not less the very spirit that
seems to stir and breathe in them—vast is the dif-

ference. The very traditions of a navy, the seope
and elbow room which it has enjoyed for years—the
defiant.air with which it has trod the deep—never
vailing its flag to any one ;—all these are essential

to its and character as they are;
invaluable—as they are untransferable. As weal

might Messrs. Giissell and Peto, backed by7a.
hundred banking houses, build up Oxford or Cam_
bridge in Gower-street or Homerton, and fancy the
copies were like the originals, or his Holiness the
Pope set up the old consular dignity at Rome, and

modern skill and practice ; .but to possess such a
navy as England now possesses, much more than

all this is.required. -
That thing is not to be done—at least in
summer's day. No; not by the stoutest or the
strongest, the most audacious or the most ambi-
tious. The world has seen the greatest plans for
territorial empiresuccessfully laid by the shrewdest

genius of the 17th century it has seen the most
mighty and disciplined armies, headed by generals
of the most consummate skill, set on foot by
Louis XIV. ; it has seen a later attempt, when
Napoleon 1., out of the Sans-culottism of Paris

and the pro.vinces, raised from year to year ve-
terans—heroes—the very marrow of soldiers,
without a parallel, except in those of Hanni-

bal. But a navy raised by one man, whatever
his skill, wealth, power, or activity, it has
never seen—and it never will. Yet the trial hag,

sagacious than either, gave up the attempt, for be

navy did not depend only (iu the outward material

of which it is composed. - He knew that even by

pensable to victory, is, perhaps, one of the smallest

Such a review, then, as this at Spithead is some-
thing more than a pageant ; it is an epitome of our
history, of our power, our wealth, and our indus-
try as a nation. So will it be regarded, if not .by
Engtishmen, by many a foreigner who will be pre-
sent. They may, and they_ will, speculate on the
means and causes which brought into existence so
great and so unmatchable an instrument for de-
struction. They may also—we hope they will—
reflect that, whilst thus having a giant's strength,
we have neither the intention nor the will "to
use it as a giant" unless compelled to it.

The following is the letter which is now addressed
to candiJates for commissions. It renders the pros-
pect of those who expect to go in without purchase
quite hopeless :

"Horse Gnarls, April 16.

Chief to desire that you report yourself at the office of
the G .vernor of the Royal Military College at Sandhurst

purpose of undergoing a further examination in Latin or
French arid algebra. You are, however, distinctly to
understand that, in the event of your passing satisfac-
torily, that circumstance will give you no claim to he
anpcinted to a commission before it may come to your
turn in reference to your standing with other candi-
dates on. the list ; but the General ComrnandingireChief
will be happy to bring you forward if you can pur-
chase, when ho can do so consistently with his other en-
gagements.
" You are required to produce to the College autho
rities a certificate of confirmation, and his lordship
deems it highly expedient that you should also take
%lib you the ' memorandum' or paper of instruction
which was issued to guide you in your studies, in order
that if any question should arise as to the course in
which you are to be examined, the professors may, upon
reference to the paper, be able at once to decide the
point.

BUTTER ADULTERATED WITH FLINT STONE.—Astound
ing as Vie anuouoceinent at the heading of this paragrapk
is, it is neve' th. Las true. Butter is aculterated with flint
sti e.. This hearties, and wick.d fraud is especially prac
tied iu the low kinds of butter usually sold in large mann
factoring towns to the poorer and industrious population
The flint stones are ground and then chemicatly manipu-
lated, until they are reduced int-) a soluble substance, which
is known by the denomination of "soluble silica?,
When this latter preptraticn is dissolved in water it be
comes a stiff gelatinous body, somewhat resembling strop
jelly. This oily is mixed to a considerable extent with
butter of low quality, to which fresh salt and colouring
matter are added. The product of this villmious adults
ration is a compound which resembles a very good-
looking dairy-made butter. But it has not the firmness
or bright appearance of genuine butter, and is devoid of
the richness and wholesome qualities of the latter. We
have seen this gross adulteration at the laboratories of
the Northern Analytical College, Sheffield, and we are
credibly informed that Professor Calvert, of Manches-
ter, has detected this fraud recently and frequently.
Such is one phase of the adulterating system. It is a
near approach to, if not a verification of the poor man
"asking for bread, and having
,a stone given to him."
If such unprincipled sophistications are not soon done
away with by stringent laws and public condemnation,
it will end in our better halves treating ourselves and
friends with luxurious gastronomic entertainment% in
which flint stones, lime, sloe leaves, and sand will form
the chief ingredients of the family spread ; and we shall
, be enabled to ask our particular friends to. come and
take a cup of sloe tea, with a little "toast and flint,"
and diarrhoea included. Surely
