CHAIRMAN.—The Hon. FRANCIS SCOTT, M.P.
DEPUTY CHAIRMAN.—CHARLES BERWICK CURTIS,Esq.
INVALID LlVES.—Persons not in sound health may have
their lives insured at equitable rates.
ACCOMMODATION IN PAYMENT OF PREMIUM.—Only one-
half of the Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life,
requires to be paid for the first five years, simple interest be-
ing charged on the balance. Such arrangement is equivalent
to an immediate advance of 50 per cent. upon the annual pre
mium, without the borrower having recourse to the unplea-
sant necessity of procuring sureties, or assigning and thereby
parting with his Policy, during the currency of the Loan,
irrespective of the great attendant expenses in such arrange-
ment •
The above mode of insurance has been found most advan-
tageous when Policies have been required to cover monetary
transactions, or when incomes applicable for Insurance are at
present limited, as it only necessitates half the outlay formerly
required by other Companies before the present system was
instituted by this Office.
LOANS—Are granted likewise on real and personal Secu-
rities. _ _ _ _

SPURTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL' S-YESTERDAY.

The acceptances for the Spring Handicaps were a good
deal talked about, but the actual investments were of a
somewhat limited nature. 18 to 1 was the current offer
against Drogheda for the Chester Cup, 20 to 1 was laid
once to a " poney." sto 1 was offered on the field for the.
Two Thousand, and those odds were booked about the Pro-
mised Land to £3O. He was, not, however, mentioned in
connection with the Derby,' for which Electric advanced to
16 to 1, whilst 18 to 1 was booked two or three times about
Marionette, who had, we believe, been backed at a shorter
price in the city during the morning. After 1000 to 15
had been laid against Viking, 50 to 1 was taken about him.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat during the present week,
coastwise, have amounted to 1,980 quarters, almost wholly
from Essex and Kent. By land carriage, fresh up to-day,
the supply was small, and the show of samples was limited.
Compared with Monday, no change took place in prices,
and the demand may be called steady. Fine foreign wheats
realised previous rates, but the demand for them was by no
means active. Low and middling parcels were very dull,
but not cheaper.
We had a fair demand for all kinds of malting barley, at
full prices. Inferior foreign was very dull, at barely late
rates.
Tho malt trade was in a depressed state. In prices,
however, no change took place.
For oats and flour the inquiry was far from active, on
former terms. Beans and peas, however, were quite as dear
as on Monday.

THE ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS.

ships for their dutiful address, and informed the house that
her Majesty should rely upon their most cordial efforts in

.TRES FOR 1859. I consideration.

THE TAKING OF DELHI.
Earl GRANVILLE said he was anxious to make an ex-
planation of a statement he had made respecting Sir J.
Lawrence and the taking of Delhi, by which that distin-
guished officer felt himself aggrieved. He had stated, as
a proof of Lord Canning's firmness at a critical junc-
ture, that hearing that negotiations were being entered into
with the insurgents, he had at once put a stop to them,
notwithstanding they had received the approval of Sir J.
Lawrence. It now appeared that the negotiations were not
with the insurgents generally, but with the King. of Delhi,
and that there was an express stipulation that no insur-
gent was to bo dealt with who had taken part in the
murder of Europeans. He begged further to say that he
had not the slightest intention to depreciate the efforts of
Sir John Lawrence in order to raise those of Lord Canning.
