The steady progress of this Institution affords abundant proof that
the substantial character of the advantages it holds out to Insurers,
continues to be fully appreciated by the community. The number
of Policies passed during the year 1850 was 716, assuring somewhat
more than 498,000 d. ; and on an average of the last thirteen years,
the amount of Assurances effected considerably exceeds
HALF A MILLION PER ANNUM.
The total amount paid since the institution of the Society, under
Policies which have emerged by death, is upwards of
ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS.

Every information may be obtained on application at the Head
Office, or any of the Society's Agencies.

FINE HEAD OF HAIR.
ROWL ANDS' MA.CASSAR OIL is justly
renowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues,
in nourishing, preserving, and beautifying the human hair. It
insinuates its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nou-
rishes the hair in its embryo state, accelerates its growth, cleanses it
from scurf and dandruff, sustains it in maturity, and continues its
possession of healthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy
to the latest period ofhuman life. In the growth of whiskers, eye-
brows, and mustachios, it is also unfailing in its stimulative opera-
tion. For children it is especially recommended, as forming the
basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine
comb unnecessary.'
Price 3s. 6d. and 7s. ; or family bottles (equal to four small) at
10s. 6d.; and double that size, 21s.

LOUIS NAPOLEON, PRESIDENT, FIRST
CONSUL, EMPEROR!—Such are the events for which a
large portion of the French people are prepared. flow far they will
be deceived or otherwise is yet to be proved. One thing is certain,
notwithstanding the great events which for a moment astounded the
Parisians, and afterwards all Europe, the shops are open, the stocks
in the Bourse continue firm, and the places of amusement are open.
But for the French fashions, which once gave the tone to those in
England—they are gone ! Everybody in Paris appears in London
costume. At balls and assemblies, on the Boulevards, at the Opera,
the fashions are all English, and a vast majority of the gentlemen
may be seen in the newest makes of E. MOSES and SON, whose
fame, since they have monopolized all the best artists and workmen
in Europe, extends to all the capitals in that quarter of the globe.
It is impossible to conceive that one firm could provide so magnificent
a stock of clothing as that which now fills their extensive show-
rooms at the Monarch Mart, in Aldgate and the Minories, and their
superbly-decorated premises at the corner of hart-street and New
Oxford-street. The most recherche materials are made up In a
style which no other clothiers in the world can imitate ; and whether
for fashionable parties, walking, sporting, or hard work, it is impos-
sible to want and not be suited. It is only desirable that every one
in want of dress, from the wealthy man of fashion to the most humble
labourer, should visit one of the establishments of this powerful firm,
where they will see everything of the best manufacture, and marked
with a price less than half that charged by the best ordinary tailors

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the
treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan-
tage by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated
through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of
later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of unceas-
ing misery and regret.

THE BOCARME FAMILY.—We read in the C?n-
stitutionnel—"By a singular coincidence two facts have just
drawn attention again to the Bocarme family. On the one
hand it is announced that a rich Englishman, residing in
Paris, named Sir Thomas Ryder, has just died, leaving all
his fortune to Mme. de Bocarme. His heirs have arrived at
Paris, and caused seals to be affixed to the property, intend-
ing to attack the will on the score of insanity. On the other
hand, the American journals state that M. de Visart, Count
de Bocarme, whose son lately perished so ignominiously,
died on Oct. 14, in the county of Arkansas, United States,
much respected by all who knew him. It is supposed that
the dreadful end of his son contributed to shorten his days,
for, though 75 years of age, he had previously enjoyed the
most robust health, spending his time principally in field
sports, and being considered the best shot in the canton."

.
ACTS OF PARLIAMENT.—Yesterday was printed a
return, obtained by Mr. Brotherton, M.P., of the number
of Acts of Parliament passed in the late fifty years. The
largest number was in 184, when 562 Acts were passed, of
which 402 were local and personal, arising from the railway
mania. The smallest number was in 1841, when only 13
were passed. In 1847, 447 Acts were passed; in 1848, 318;
in 1849, 243; in 1850, 261 ; and in the last session, 278, of
which last number 106 were public, 146 local, and 26
private.
The Glasgow Constitutional says :—" A. large
proportion even of the newly constructed houses in Glas-
gow are very unfit for human residence, and are a direct
cause of the diseases which are constantly sweeping families
to the grave. It is melancholy to think that, with the
ienormous nuisance of the Wynds before our eyes, we should
be erecting similar centres of disease and filth even in the
mot wecloim and Whi9nAble parts pf the city."

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT,
OLD COURT.

Harriet Anne Newman, a good-looking young wo-
man, surrendered to take her trial upon a charge of
having committed wilful and corrupt .perjury on the
trial of an indictmen against a person named Day, in
this court, in May last.
Mr. Payne and Mr. Robinson were counsel for the
prosecution ; Mr. Horry appeared for the defendant.
The circumstances of this case were of rather a
singular character. The prosecutor, a young man
named Day, was tried in this court in May last, upon
a charge of conspiracy to procure the debaucbment of
the present defendant, and also for attempting himself
to commit a felonious assault upon her ; and it will
be remembered that the story told by the defendant in
support of the charge was of a very extraordinary
character. She represented that she received a letter
from a young men named Roberts, who was at the
time her sweetheart on the 31st March, appointing to
meet her in the evening at Stepney, and upon her
going to the place she saw the prisoner, who forced
her into a cab and drove her about, and it length took
her to a large house, where something
was given her
to drink, which had the effect of stupifying her, and
she was then assailed by three gentlemen, who sought
to obtain possession of her person, but she stated that
she got a knife, and by means of that weapon she
eventually succeeded in fighting her way out of
the house. The prosecutor Day wal taken into cus-
tody a day or two afterwards, and the defendant swore
positively that he was the man who had acted in
the way described, and after agyeral examinations
before the magistrate the piosectkt,was committed
to thii court, and after a longlvia4 in-which wit-,
nesses were examined on both sides, the jury found
the prosecutor guilty, awl be was sentenced to twelve
months' imprisonment. After his conviction it
appeared. that representations were made to the
Secretary of State in reference to the case, the result
of which was that Day received a pardon, and he
then preferred the present charge against the defend-
ant, who it appeared bad since the transaction got
married to Roberts, the sweetheart alluded to.
Day, the former defendant, was now examined as
a witness, and he stated most positively that he saw
nothing of defendant on the night in question, and
that the story told by her with regard to his having
forced her into a cab and taken her to the house she
referred to was false in every respect, so far as he
was concerned.

This witness was cross-examined at some length
by Mr. Horry, but his evidence was not shaken in
any material respect.
Several other witnesses were called, who proved
that Day was in their company at different periods
during the afternoon and evening of the 31st of
March, and consequently that it was impossible for
him to have been at the place mentioned by the de-
fendant.

Elizabeth Woodfield, an old woman, deposed that
she had known the defendant from a hild, and was
also acquainted with her family. On the 17th, or
between that and the 25th of March, the defendant
called upon her, and asked her to write for her the
letter that bad been produced, and she said it was to
be used for the purpose of having a game with Dick
Roberts. She also wrote upon an envelope the ad-
dress of the defendant. She also said that when she
heard of Day being taken into custody upon the
original charge, she went to the defendant and told
her that if she persisted in prosecuting an innocent
young man, she would tell all she knew about the
matter ; and the defendant then told her that if she
" split" she would be a ruined young woman ; and
witness replied that if she did not, Day would be a
ruined young man. She also told her that she was
anxious to save both of them, but she was determined
to save the innocent.

Mr. HORRY (to the witness)—How do you get your
living ? Witness—You know very well. I write
letters and petitions, and I have repeatedly given you
briefs, and paid you 7s. 6d., 10s., and 15s. with them
for poor people.—(A laugh.)
The RECORDER told the witness to answer the
questions put to her, and not to be impertinent.
Witness—How can I help it, illy Lord ? Mr.
Horry always received me as a lady when I took him
a brief and gave him money.—(Renewed laughter.)
Mr. HORRY—Don't you go by the name of the
female lawyer ? Witness—Yes, and you are known
as the cheap barrister.—(Roars of laughter.)
Mr. HURRY—Do you not get your living by telling
fortunes ? Witness—l told your fortune very plea-
santly when I brought you money.—(Laughter.)
Mr. HORRY—How long is it since you have given
any one a brief in this court ? Witness—l gave you
one two years ago.
Mr. Roma—Now, I ask you again, do you not
get your living by telling fortunes ? Witness—l told
your very pleasantly.— (Laughter.)
The RECORDER told the witness again that she must
answer the question.
Witness—Mr. lorry knows I am not a fortune-
teller. lie has no business to ask me such questions.
Mr. HORRY—Have you not been committed to
prison for fortune-telling ? Witness—No ; I was
once committed to prison for an assault. A person
spat in my face, and I had a pint pot in my hand, and
I gave him a crack over the head with it, and I would
serve you the same if yeu were to spit in my face.—
(Roars of laughter.)
Some other witnesses were then called, whose evi-
dence tended to contradict different statements made
by the defendant in support of the charge she made
against the prosecutor, and
this closed the case for the
prosecution.
Mr. HORRY then addressed the jury. Ile said be
believed that when they had heard all the facts of
the case they would be of opinion that the present
charge ought never to have been preferred, and that
there was in reality no ground for saying that the de-
fendant had wilfully and corruptly sworn that which
she knew to be false. The original charge had un-
dergone a most careful
inquiry by an intelligent
magistrate, who had committed the prisoner for trial
upon it, and, after a long investigation, the jury
having heard all the facts and all the evidence that
was brought forward by the party accused, had re-
turned a verdict of guilty;
and the present proceed-
ing was really nothing more than an attempt to make
the Central Criminal Court a Court of Appeal
against its own decisions. The Learned Counsel
then stated that it would be his duty to call all the
witnesses who were examined in support of the
original charge; and he said he had no doubt that
when the jury had heard their evidence, they would
come to the conclusion that the defendant ought not
to be convicted upon this indictment.

It being stated, in answer to a question put by
the Court, that it would be impossible to bring the
inquiry to a close that night unless the Court sat to
a very late hour, it was arranged that the trial should
be adjourned to this morning.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Dec. 15.
Edward White, 29, was indicted for having stolen
sixteen yards of woollen cloth, value 41. 135., the:pro-
perty of Henry Barber.
Mr. O'Brien appeared for the prisoner.
This case was remanded from the last session. The
prosecutor was a tailor in Goswell•street, and the evi-
dence of his two sons clearly proved the case against
the prisoner. He was seen to attempt to carry off the
cloth, and when he found he was discovered he threw
it at the head of one of the witnesses. His identity
was proved beyond question, and the Learned Coun-
sel said he could make no answer to the case.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
It was proved that he was an old offender, and he
was sentenced to be transported for seven years.
Mr. O'Brtien said there were some women in court
who wished to make some communication to the
Bench. There were a number of persons about the
court who were in the habit of getting money from
poor persons, the friends of prisoners, under the pre-
tence of procuring legal assistance for them, and the
women he alluded to had something to say upon the
subject.
The Learned JUDGE directed the women to be
brought forward, when
One of them said she had paid 11. 33. 6d. to a person
named Flanagan, who was clerk to Mr. Horry, the
barrister, for the defence of White ; but she had been
obliged to raise a similar sum to employ Mr. O'Brien,
because he had not engaged Mr. Horry.
The individual referred to, Henry Martin Flanagan,
here stood up, and said he was ready to answer any-
thing the woman had to say against him.
The JUDGE—WeII, you have beard the complaint,
what have you to say to it ? Flanagan--May I ask
her a question, your Lordship ?
The JunoE—Certainly ; what is it you wish
to ask ?
Flanagan (to the woman)—Now, you say you
paid me 1/. 33.61. • where did you pay it, and when ?
The woman---I paid it last Wednesday, at the public-
house over the way—the Lamb and Flag. It was in
the afternoon.
Flanagan—My Lord, last Wednesday—l can prove
it by Mr. Horry and fifty others—l was at the South-
wark Police- court from ten in the morning until six
at night. I never saw the woman before in my life,
and I declare to God I never received a penny from
her. I am not now Mr. Horry's clerk, and I never
told her I was,
The JUDGE—Now be careful, sir. lam told that,
at the last session, Mr. Horry applied to have this
case postponed. This is ohe of those infamous eases
