LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Undo r the provisions of an Act of Par-
liament, recently obtained, this Company now offers to future in-
surers a I,w 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 18,5, 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, 'lle
reversionary Bonuses added to the policies from one half the profitS
amounted, on an average of the different ales, to about 1 per cent.
per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added at the
four septennial divisions exceeded 770,000/.
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-
dded such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
Attuned in each case a value not under 50/..
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
n the sth of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1849, and the same
snow in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),
i,etween the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office; and
also by the Agents in the Country Districts.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, 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, at 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 280/.—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 between the Ist of June, 1349, and
the 31st of Slay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 66.:
of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen 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 Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
Amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. lid.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. I Is. 106. Only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de I'Etaug, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and atrillty in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal ArChbish p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Paresis, 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 both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prosrects.

THE SAMBRE AND MEUSE RAILWAY.—We under-
stand th .t the directors of this company are in the daily
expectation of receiving a concession from the Belgian
Government, which will place the line on a very different
f,oi Log. from what it has fitherto stood on.
STAFFORDSHIRE AND SHROPSHIRE RAILWAY.—His
Honour Master Richards has Ffeterresi judgment in Mr.
Archibalo's case, in this matter, to give that gentleman
an opportunity of proving, by the production of wit-
nesses, that he had authority from the board of directors
to rem we the funds from the Commercial Bank.
SUBMARINE TELEGRAPHS.—The London and North-
Western, Chester and Holyhead, South-Eastern, and
other railways, are petitioning to be heard in Committee
against the proposed submarine telegraphs, on the
ground, it is understood, that the latter propose in their
Bills to obtain exclusive privileges along the railways of
the kingdom.

Jackson, Elizabeth, 47, Eastbanksstreet, Southport. A
vase of shell flowers. The story of its fabrication is
interesting. She is reported to be a poor woman up-
wards of 40 years of age, and formerly laboured for
years far below ground, in a coal-pit. She had the
misfortune to fall down the shaft, a great depth, and
sustained severe and lasting injury. Subsequently
she married a poor fisherman of Southport, and is the
mother of eleven children, eight of whom are still liv-
ing and around her. Her first attempt to contribute
to the support of the family was, by making little
models of cottages, churches, &c., and adorning
them with sand and shells gummed upon the surface.
With the money thus earned she tried to form shell
flowers, but only in a small way, and with limited
means, and by no means good materials, till one day
her husband came home after a severe storm, and
mentioned that he had found and left on the beach a
branch of a tree covered with what ho called barnacles
adhering to it. She requested him to bring it home,
as she thought she could make something of it. She
found the shells to be of a kind offering excellent ma-
terial for the construction of flowers. Each pair
(bivalve) consists of two large and two smaller over-
lapping plates, and one long taper proboscis-like fila-
ment of shell. These her husband procures for her
in large quantities; and having cleansed them and
made them beautifully white, this ingenious and
wholly self-taught artist proceeds to construct flowers
from natural models, with a taste and judgment,whieli
under the circumstances, are most extraordinary in a
poor fisherman's wife. A person seeing some speci-
mens of her skill, ordered some more, which were to
be of the most elaborate character, as they were des-
tined for the great Exhibition. She completed them,
and learned, to her great disappointment, when de-
livered and paid for, that the purchaser deemed
them his own, and positively refused to at-
tach her name to them. It was then too
late for her to commence afresh and com-
plete any considerable work within the limited time
remaining; but Mr. B. Fothergill, of Southport,be_alf
at Southport, and learning her story, wrote to
Thomas Bazley, detailing the circumstances, and
through that gentleman's representations to his col-
leagues, the Royal Commissioners, he succeeded inob-
taining special permission for a piece of this curious
shell-work to be received later. The whole work,
mounted on a stand, and covered with a glass shade, is
about 2 feet 6 inches in height, and will not occupy
a foot square of table space. In a porcelain vase are
grouped together a collection of exotic and other
choice flowers, mingled with wild flowers and the blos-
soms of some of our flowering plants, trees, and hedges.
The foot of the vase is encircled with a simply elegant
wreath of the hedge or briar rose. The stems and leaves
are produced from the makers of artificial flowers in
London; and the artist has also procured thence the
the pigments with which she tints the flowers with so
much delicacy and accuracy as to make them closely
resemble nature

that these magical effects are produced by means of a

with which these pencil-like touches are worked into
the glass, the ' tinish' of the ornamental wreaths must
be a matter of no small surprise. The perfection to
which, under Mr. Kidd's direction, his workmen have
brought this process, and the admirable adaptation of
their tools (in itself a labour of years, and the fruit of
long experiment and many failures) to produce the
minutest tracery on the glass in the manner best suited
for heightening the effect by the silvering, and the
rich appearance of the finished work—have induced
Mr. Kidd to use the expressive term ' embroidered' "
King, Lowther-street, Whitehaven. Aldobrand's Cabi-
net. It is entirely composed of British oak, in three
varieties, pale, brown, and black. Part of the pale
variety was grown on the property of Captain Irwin,
near Calder Abbey. The black was found by the
Rev. Henry Lowther, embedded ten feet below the
present surface of the soil, whilst digging a deep
drain on some peat moss at Distington. The design
of the cabinet was suggested by the description of
that belonging to Oldbuck, in Scott's novel of " The
Antiquary," and the details are intended to com-
memorate the early progress of the art of printing
and the Reformation. The lower part, which is 5 ft.
6 in. by 2 ft. 6 in., contains, in the front, two deep
recesses, with two drawers above, containing secret
drawers, by way of keeping up the character of tha
old cabinet. The two drawers are fronted by carving
in light oak, surrounded by a carved moulding in
black ditto. Externally, the front recesses present
two Saxon arches of black oak with twisted columns,
divided by a brown oak bracket. One co!nerin.

At the base of this panel is the motto " Kunst macht

Aldobrand pointing to the same motto, similarly
worked. Between this and the corners made by the

of Sir Walter Scott
