MOST IMPORTANT.—Pounds, Shillings, and
Pence, greatly influence the happiness of mankind ; and
whatever does this must be important.
E. MOSES and SON have for a period exceeding twenty years, by
indefatigable exertions, endeavoured to supply the public at such
prices as, prior to their times, was never considered possible ; they
have been the introducers of a new era in their trade, and their suc-
cess proves that they have made pounds, shillings, and pence, lu
every sense of the words, available to the happine.s of the com-
munity, by placing abundance iu the power of their customers, and
that, iherefore, the commercial connexion with them and the publii:
Ls so essentially important to every interest, that it must be con-
tinued.
In every channel of their vast stream of trade as Tailors, Clothiers,
Batters, Hosiers, Furriers, Boot and Shoemakers, and General Out—
fitters for Ladies and Gentlemen, that they have fully carried out
their great principles, of high qualities and low prices, the immense
multitude which has so long and so unchangeably patronised them.
sufficiently testifies ; and if, perchance, there should be any who are
not personally aware of this great fact, we invite them on the prin-
ciple of mutual advantage, to enable us to prove, that by saving to
them their pounds, shillings, and pence. we in reality study their
happiness, and they will find that to become our customers, is to
them and to us, most important.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
St NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.

The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, et One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 200 L—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured betwpen the Ist of June, 1249, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
gixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481, upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125. 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. lie. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. ls., leaving the yearly income on the let of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. 11d.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. I le. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four mouths they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and 'laity in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Paris's, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities beth Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secritary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Aet of Par-
liament, recently obtained, this Company now offers to future In-
surers a low Rate of premium without participation in Profits; or a
moderate scale of premiums with four-fifths of the Profits to be de-
rived from all Assurances hereafter effected.
The divisions of Profits which heretofore have been made Septen-
nially will in future be made Quinquennially, the first of such divi-
sions to be declared in June 1855, when all participating policies
which shall have subsisted at least one year at Christmas, 1854, will
be allowed to share in the profits.
At the several past divisions of profits made by this Company, the
reversionary Bonuses added to the policies from one•half the profits
amounted, on an average of the different ages, to about 1 per cent.
per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added to the
four septennial divisions exceeded 770,0001.
FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums required for the East
and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the
United States of America, have been materially reduced.
LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall 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 sth of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1849, 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, No. 1, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall, or with
the Company's Agents throughout the Kingdom, otherwise they be-
come void.

SPORTING NOTES.
No. XXI.
THE NORTHAMPTON AND PYTCHLEY HUNT
MEETING.

"Fair Hope, the season, to the turfite
Large stakes, rich handicaps, and sporting fields."

Strt,—The fickle goddess has befriended my efforts very
generally lately, my fancy animals in almost every instance
rennirg first or second. At Warwick, on Tuesday, for the
Trial Stakes; I placed Aaron Smith first, and Nancy second;
the latter ran home in the place I assigned her, but the
former, quite unenited to heavy ground (the course was in a
most wretched state—under water in some parts), was no-
where ! Mark Tapley, with 51bs. less than weight for age,
not backed in the ring for a farthing, winning easily. I was
second with Kissaway for the Willoughby Handicap, but
very near being first ; Cloth worker, best suited to the mud,
winning after a desperate struggle' b barely a neck ! On
Wednesday, I was very successful, not being wrong in any one
instance. Concerning the Great Warwickshire Handicap, I
remarked in nAe No. XX, that " The winner, Ifancy, will be
one of the Three-years-old, and the SUNRISE tomorrow may
be a glorious one; and I have but little DOUBT that Mr.
Palmer's horse ( Doubt) will be about tiird ;" these remarks
were verified to the letter, Sunrise woe easily. by a length,
from Bushrang-r, and Doubt was third; the rest of the field,
including Mark Tapley, Clothworker, and Zadrc, were in
difficulties halfway up the distance. hamy selections for the
Castle and Two-year-old Stakes, I yeas on the right scent
with the Knight of the Th stle for the wormer, and with the
lang filly and Poetess for the latter ;t the bist-named race
was a very interesting affair, the Slane ftlly winning by only
a neck, after a dead heat with Poetess! '. I should have taken
the latter for choice, had 1 been certain of her running.
With this stake ended the flat races at Warwick, and with
this day the winter quarter closed, after two days cold drench-
ing rain in a most winter-like manner; however, the spring
quarter opened yesterday, luckily, for the steeplechases of
the military, in a most brilliant style, the air being warm
and balmyoind the ethereal cerulean in great force through-
out the day. I was very near hitting the first three for the
crack Military Steeplechase in Hawkswortb, Johnny Oakes,
and Oscar; the first two were placed second and third, being
beaten cleverly by Colonel Shirley's Fuglethan.
The first "meet" of the legitimate racing season is at North-
ampton on Tuesday and Wednesday next ; the anticipations of
sport and attendance is first-rate, I hope they may be rea-
lized. The trial Stakes is the first on the list, among the
nominations for which figure the names of Nancy, Peep-
o'day Boy, Recruit, and the Swede. It is difficult to say at
this present writing whether Peep-o'day Boy or Recruit
will be found at the post, I should say not; consequently
NANCY must be my winner, with the Swede second best
in my estimation. Second on the list stands the first
Northampton Triennial Stakes, f, r which 22 youngsters are
entered, none of whom have ever appeared in public; se-
lecting a winner from such a lot is hazardous work, but, as I
have no public tanning to guide me, 1 must judge by the
stable reports, which announce the following facts :—Lord
Clifden's Magnes and Sackbut, and Mr. Watson's Ambrose,
are the Newmarket guns; Lord Eglinton's Pelopidas is
something more than a pocket-pistol ; Red Hind represents
Goodwood ; and Freedom, Hirsute, and Frantic are dashing
animals, the property of the confederates, Messrs. Payne and
Greville. At present, not knowing which horses Lord
Clifden cr the confederates intend to run for this particular
stake, I must hold hard until Monday, believing, however,
that the representatives of these stables and Pelopidas will
be certain to carry off the stake. The Great Northampton
Stakes stand next on the card ; I anticipate seeing a field of
16 or 17 at the post, viz : St. Rosalia, 5 yrs, Bst 31b—Le-
gerdemain. 5 yrs, 7st 1 Ilb—Clothworker, 5 yrs, 7st 91b—
Kissaway, 5 yrs, 7st 61b—Bushranger, 4 yrs, 7st 41b—Zadoc,

51b—Nutmeg, 4 yrs, Est 31b—Torpor, 4 yrs, sst 121 b, •or
Harpsichord, 3 yrs, sst 51b—The Ban, 3 yrs, sst 101b—Sister
to Legislator, 4 yrs, sst 71b—colt y John o'Gaunt, 3 yrs,
4st 131b--Pardemus, 3 yrs, 4st 191b—Ginevra, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b,
or Mouse, 4 yrs, 7st 21b—Leap Year, 3*yrs, 4st 71b. Having
carefully analyzed the chances of
.the animals engaged in
this stake some time since (February 7 and 14), in Notes,
Nos. 8 and 10, it is not worth while doing this again ; I then
spoke favourably of Legerdemain, Clothworker, the Cocktail,
Nutmeg, The Ban, colt by John &Gaunt, and Ginevra.
Legerdemain I still hold in great estimation, and think that
she and St. Rosalia will master the top-weights; I also en-
tertain a favourable opinion of The Cocktail's chance, as
well as Nutmeg's, this couple hold the middle weights safe;
The Ban is much fancied, he has, however, comparatively with
the; other three-years old, a rather still' weight to carry, but,
notwithstanding, as he is very game, he may pull Sir Joseph's
colours through triumphantly. Ginevra, with the feather
4st 101 b up ought to be in front, as Mr. Payne occasionally
wins in a mysterious manner, when least expected, he may
do so in this instance. The colt by John o'Gaunt, though not
very often backed, I have a strong penchant for; I think it
very possible if he does not win, he may repeat Sylvan's
performance of 1848. To sum up, I opine, the race will lay
between St. Rosalia, Legerdemain, The Cocktail, Nutmeg,
The Ban, and c. by John o'Gaunt, and I think it not at all
improbable they may catch the judge's eye thus :

the other three close up ; my final remarks on Monday,
when I will also touch upon the second day's races in a
more general way, merely remarking at the Present moment
that The Greek's chance for the Althorpe Park Stakes, al-
though supported very stiffly throughput yesterday at the
West-end,and in,the City, is inferior to others in the race, and
that Frantic, Flirt, Miss Conyngham, and one or two New-
market horses will be heard of favourably before the react' is
run ; the three, I've named, however, stand the highest in my
estimation. For Earl Spencer's Plate, The Old Fox, 5' yrs,

whom they served—if alive—if not alive through the Ad-
jutant-General of the Army ;

Majesty's regiments, battalions, and detachments, through
the commanding officer of the regiment, battalion, or detach-
ment, at the time, if still alive. This will be known by in-

command, directed to take into consideration—to investigate
—the facts stated in each of these several applications, and

delivered to the claiments accordingly.

nish to the Board such information as the records of those

of the several achievements specified.

made oat of the names of the claimants to one of these
medals, together with their rank, and the names of the par-
ticular battles or sieges at which they may have been

washed 39s to 425, and fair soft yellow 34s to 353 6d; these
are about former rates. _ _ .

FOREIGN.—To -day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar, and the private purchases are small for all purposes,
with sellers at rather lower rates.
MOLASSES.— Only limited purchases have been made this
week. Barbadoes and Antigua at 16s to 16s 6d, other sorts
14s to 15s 6d; Porto Rico and Cuba 14s to 15s 6d; Bengal
and Mauritius 12s to 14s; there are several buyers rather
under these rates.

Cocoa.—The rates of last week have been maintained for
West India, and none has been offered at auction ; by pri-
vate treaty, however, only small purchases h..ve been made;
Trinidad red at 51s to 555, grey 45s to 50s, and Grenada 41s.
to 48s. The market for foreign has yet a dull aspect, and
the small parcels sold privately were at rather lower rates:
at auction 260 bags Bahia partly found buyers at 29s to 30s
per cwt.
COFFEE.--This afternoon holders of Plantation Ceylon
Coffee were not disposed to sell at any further reduction, but
home dealers operated with caution ; of the parcels
offered at public sale, amounting to 370 casks 752 bags,
not half found buyers—fine went at 67s 6d to 70s 6d, mid
and good 56s to 63s 6d, low mid 54s to 55s 6d, fine and fine
fine ord 493 to 535 6d, good ord 46s 6d to 48s 6d, and triage

auction 458 bags were taken in at 465; as was also the case
with 272 bags Bahia at 44s to 45s for good ord.
TEA.— To-day the public sales of Tea attracted little at-
tention, and former rates were supported with difficulty for
black and green. Of 4,000 pkgs offered, the small part
only of 400 found buyers, still ord Cougou cannot be ob-
tained under Hid per lb.
RICE.—In Bengal the private operations have been upon
a small scale for all purposes, although there are sellers ra-
ther under previous rates. At auction 2,853 bags were
however, nearly sold ; mid and good white at 9s
to 10s, common, broken and dusty Bs. For fine white
not more than lls per cwt can be obtained. There is,
however more disposition to operate inlladras in consequence
of the low rates that prevail; and privately several parcels
have been sold at 7s to 8s 6d for pinkey; none has been of
for auction this week. In Cargo and Pearl Barley Rice
sales are yet trifling, and 7s to 8s is the value. Imports have
been light this week. Clean Rice is purchased with
caution; Patna low to fine at lOs 6d to 17s; town dresed
Carolina 20s to 283 • and American 16s 6d to 17s 6d.
Sago met with increased attention, and prices continue to ad-
vance. At auction 535 bxs were so'd at 20s to 21s 6d for
small pearl; and at 21s 9d to 23s for mid to fine large grain
Sago Flour is wanted at 15s to 15s fd ; few parcels are,
however, on offer. Of St Vincent's Arrowroot 41 pkgs,
and 567 tins at auction were in part sold at 51/2d to B%d ;
SPICES.—At public sale this afternoon ,350 bags Pimento
sold at 4%d to 5d ; these are steady rates.
Srinrrs.—There are still few buyers of East India Rum,
and rather lower rates have been taken ; the present value is
is 51/2d to is 6%d proof. Leeward Island has been operated
in with caution at is 71,4 d to is Bd, proof being rather lower
prices; there is a better supply. Demerara is cheaper; the
sales are 300 puns nearly all at 2s 5d to 2s 6d for 36 to 38
per cent over proof. The home and export demand is
small for Jamaica; and on the part of holders there was
a desire to sell, plain and middling quality 30 to 34 per
cent over proof at 2s 7d to 2s lid; good middling and
good, 33 to 38 over, 3s to 3s 6d, and fine 3s 8d to 4s 3d.
In Brandy purchases have been upon a small scale for all
purposes • and there are sellers of Cognac best Brands of the
vintage of 1850 at 4s 3d to 4s 5d ; 1849 ditto 4s 6d to 4s 8d;
1848 ditto 48 9d to 4s lld ; 1847 ditto 5s ld to 5s 3d; and
inferior sorts 3s to 4s. Geneva is is 7d to is Bd, fine is 9d to
2s; British made Spirit is 9s 8d to 9s 9d; and Gin 8s 3d for
22 per cent under proof.
COCNINEAL —The demand is better, and privately several
parcels have been sold at full rates ; the quantity on offer is
also less than last week. At auction 112 bags of Honduras
were chiefly disposed of at from 3s 4d to 3s 9d for low to
good mid silvers, and a few bags of black at 3s 7d to 4s 4d
for low to good mid, but 16 bags Mexican silvers were taken
in at 3s 3d per lb, being above the value.
larniGo.—•The Ldemana has increased for Guatamals, 'and
there is an' advance o kg.. week's rates of 2d per lb.
At auction 107 serons were* all sold at from 2s 4d to
4s 9d for very low lean hard copper and coppery
Cortes to mid and fine Sobres. In East India a
fair trade has been concluded privately, in consequence of
some holders submitting to a small reduction on last quar-
terly sales' rates. At auction 12 chests Kurpah were sold at
3s 3d to 3s 9d for common, but 50 chests Manilla were taken
in at Is 9d to 3s 8d for low and mid. - . .

SALTPETRE.—To-day the market for Saltpetre was again
in a dull state, and at former rates there were free sellers.
