Empowered by Act of Parliament,

The many novel atid varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in Its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the fldl benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums.

Another Bonus will be declared in the present year.

THE ISPATCH.
The extraordinaryWlTH demand for theD Dispatch of yesterday, Feb. 11,
with a Second Supplement, extended to 16.5,000 impressions, and
affords the Proprietors the gratification of finding that the exertions
they made to furnish their readers 'with a perfect History of the
great National Trial is fully appreciated.
In addition to the quantity of matter given, the Proprietors of the
Dispatch,. to do justice to this interesting business, spare neither pains
or expense to secure the earliest possible intelligence ; and by the ju-
dicious arrangements made at both Dublin and Liverpool, they were
enabled exclusively to publish, in a Second Edition,-yesterday, a re-
port of the Judge's Charge to the Jury up to the close on Friday.
To render the Supplements to the Dispatch truly acceptible to
their patrons, tile Proprietors have been induced, by the length of
the proceedings, to alter their original plan, and instead of present-
ing Two Supplements, they will extend it to FOUR, thus rendering
the record of thiS memorable trial both ample and complete.
A Reprint of the Supplements already issued will take place in the
course of the week, when early applications will ensure the posses-
sion of this invaluable historical register.

Policies issued to the extent of . . . . . 348000
Being upwards of one-third of a million, and adding nearly 11,0001.
per annum to the Company's revenue.

There are various inducements to assurers in this Company, arising
from the security which the Company affords—its equitable rates
and its characteristic principle of liberality, whether in the settle-
ment of claims or facilities to assurers. A distinguishing feature is
also to be found in the division of profits, by which it will be observed

it confers peculiar advantages upon its policy holders, allowing them
in the fullest degree the benefit of survivorship. Policies from this
Company steadily continued thus increase very rapidly, holding out
great inducement to the best class of lives to give it a preference.
A policy opened in 1825 for 1,0001. has been increased
in 1840 to . . . ...... £1,337 10

In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a Bonus was declared In June
1829, exceeding one per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an
average of the different Ages ; and two subsequent divisions of nearly
equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842.
On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added

about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those
seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three
Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of 8i per cent. was de-

COLONEL STODDART AND
CAPTAIN CONOLLY.

Captain Grover has communicated to us the following inte-
resting intelligence, just received from Dr. Wolff. On the
Bth of December he reached Ashkalah (in Armenia), and thus
describes what took place:—
" At Ashkalah, I found again three Dervishes from Bokhara,
who left Bokhara four months ago. I asked them whAtier
they had seen at Bokhara some English travellers ?
" Bokharalee.—` Yes, and it was reported for some time
that they had been killed, but there was no truth in it ; but
one of them came from Kokan, with whom the King of Bolt•
hara was angry, believing that he did assist the King of Kokan,
and therefore put both the tall and short Englishman into
prison, but let them out after some time, and they now teach
the soldiers of Bokhara the European exercise.' " Dr. Wolff
gives the names and places of abode of these Dervishes in
Bokhara, and further states that at Erzerum a Shekh of Bok-
hara, named Schah Jemand Addeen, of the family of Naksh-
hanchi, called upon him and said that he would find his friends
alive, and promised him letters.
The fall of snow at Erzerum has been extraordinary; eight
men were brought in dead, and guns were fired every five
minutes to direct travellers !

The kindness of Colonel Williams (Royal Artillery), her
Majesty's Commissioner, and of Mr. Brant, the Consul, is
beyond all praise. Colonel Williams has had the kindness to
write to Captain Grover, stating that the Doctor was in
excellent health, and would start on the 27th of December for
Tabreez.

Everything possible has been done by the Earl of Aberdeen
to insure the safety and even the comfort of Dr. Wolff. The
next accounts will probably be from Tabreez.

On Saturday, as Sir William Follett, in company
with Messrs. Crowder, Alexander, and Wordsworth, was re-
turning from Maidstone, where they had been attending
some railway compensation cases, having engaged a special
train, on its arrival at New Cross, on the Croydon Rail-
way, there were three men employed with trucks on the
railway. The train not being expected, the men had scarcely
time to save themselves, leaving the trucks across the rails;
the engineer had not time to stop the engine—a collision
took place, and the shock was violent; however, w.e are
happy to say that the Learned Solicitor-General and his col-
leagues escaped without injury.
FLOGGING OF PAUPER CHlLDREN.—Yesterday an
adjourned and lengthened investigation, opened on Friday
last, was resumed before Mr. Carter, the Surrey Coroper, in
the Board-room of Lambeth Workhouse, touching the death
of Edmund John Lanworn, aged one year and seven months,
who was alleged to have died from ill-treatment received
whilst an inmate of the Lambeth Infant Poor Establishment,
Norwood. The nature of the case and the evidence are ex-
plained by the verdict, which was as follows :—" That the
deceased child died a natural death, and we (the jury) do re-
quest the Board of Guardians to investigate the circumstance
of a rod being introduced into the infant ward of Norwood
House of. Industry, and whether that was done by the sanction
of the mistress, Mrs. Crick, and that no personal chastisement
be allowed on the part of any one to infants of such tender age
as are placed in that ward." Mr. Churchill, one of the Guar-
dians, said that an investigation had already commenced, and
the Board were determined to sift the whole matter.
For several days past, in consequence of severe
snow-storms in Scotland, the northern mails have not ar-
rived at the General Post-otlice until several hours after their
stated tium

ROYAL MARINE RESIDENCE.
The treaty for Norris- Castle has terminated un-
successfully. Rumour_states that the great impedi-
ment was the high price required. If this be the
case, a correspondent has suggested a plan admirably
adapted for the proposed object, where the sum re-
quiredis not likely to be an obstacle. Our readers
must have heard a few years since very much about
the Baroness de Feucheres,
whose complicated law pro-
ceedings ended very triumphantly two years ago ; she
however, was only spared a year or two to enjoy
her triumphant success and her great wealth. It
may be remembered she erected a splendid
marine villa, in the New Forest, close to Christ-
church, where the bathing is proverbially as good as
any in England. We have been favoured, at Mr.
George Robins's office, with a sight of the drawings,
which were perfected by a first-rate artist of South-
ampton, when the sale was in contemplation, three
years ago, and it gives a very just idea of the im-
posing character of the building. Some little notion
may be formed by an intimation that this splendid
abode cost twenty thousand pounds, quite indepen-
dently of the little park, of thirty-one acres, and the
beautiful gardens and grounds that surround it. It is
accounted the most attactive feature of the New Forest;
and the accommodation, it is apprehended, is quite
equal to the expectation the word " comfort', would
imply in its most comprehensive meaning. Besides its
great desideratum will be found in' its approximation
upon the sea, from which it is only distant a short five
minutes' walk. This favoured property is consigned
by the present owner to the fate of Mr. George
Robins's. hammer in the spring, but he will
necessarily be but too happy to negotiate for
its occupation by our good Queen and her
lovely infants during the bathing season. Some faint
idea of the sort of place we have been noticing, may
be inferred from a very short but pithy paragraph
of " the knight of the hammer," which we extract
from his printed particulars of the sale :—" The
Baroness has given unequivocal proof of her
aextra-
ordinary taste in the arrangement of this domicile ;
and the accommodation is so perfect, as to leave no-
thing to he desired. Twenty-five beds can, on an
emergency, he made up. The arrangement has evi-
dently been planned by the hand of an artiste, and
one highly gifted. It very nearly approaches per-
fection ; which, indeed, seems to reign triumphantly
through " these regioiis of splendour and delight."
The effect in the grand suite is aVsiitutely electrical.
The entrée to the mansion is by a 'lodge or clever
design, and a circuitous route through the prolific
plantations and pleasure group Is leads to the novel
scene of several rural bridges across the meandering
stream, which is seen pursuing it natural course until
it is exhausted in the wide ocean. Such is a brief
outline of Mr. George Robins's description. If
Royalty do not previously fall in love with it, he will
offer it for unreserved sale in the month of May,
together with the elegant furniture and effects. It
is a five hours' journey only from the metropolis.

FIRES IN LONDON.
IMPORTANT EXPERIMENTS.—A great many proposals
having lately been urged upon Government, with the view
of establishing iu London, and all the large towns through-
out the provinces, a system for the more speedy extinction of
fires, viz., by attaching hose or leathern pipes, with branches,
to the plugs and mains laid down in the streets, so that the
water might he thrown to a sufficient altitude by its own
pressure, without 'the aid of- fire-engines, an experiment a
few days since was made by Mr. Quick, the engineer of the
Southwark Water Company, in order to ascertain how far it
could be made applicable. The Company not having the ne-
cessary apparatus to make the trial, the assistance of the
Fire Brigade was granted to carry out the experiment, Mr.
Braidwood, the superintendent of the force, being present on
the occasion, the particulars of which will be found to be
highly important. The report, which is extremely voluminous,
states that it took place on the morning of Thursday last be-
tween the hours of four and nine o'clock, Mr. Quick selecting
Old Gravel-lane, Union-street, and Tooley-street, as thelnost
favourable spots to carry on the operations. During the
whole period the pressure of water at the Company's works
at Battersea was kept at 130 feet, and every service pipe or
outlet was kept shut, so that the trial should be fairly made.
The first experiment took place in Union-street, by hav-
ing lengths of rivetted leathern hose (two inches and a half
in diameter, and 40 feet long) attached to six standcocks,
placed into plugs, all situate within the space of about
700 syards. The water was conveyed from the head at
Battersea, through 5,300 yards of iron piping consisting of
4,250 yards of 20-inch main, 540 yards of 15-inch main,
and 500 yards of 9-inch main. On one standcock being
opened, the jet of water thrown from the copper branch
(with 4-inch hose pipe on) reached an elevation of fifty
feet, and the delivery was at the rate of 100 gallons per
minute, The next object sought was to ascertain the
quantity of water that could be obtained from the plug.
The branch pipe for this purpoSe was taken off, but the length
of hose remained on. The delivery was then found to be
260 gallons per minute, showing that nearly two-thirds of
the water was lost by confining it to a small jet. Had
the • standcock and hose been taken away, there would
have been quite sufficient water to supply three fire-
engines, each delivery being equal to the discharge from the
first standcock. Another was then opened, and the jet from
the former was reduced to 45 feet elevation. Other two were
added, and the jet of the first was then 40 feet; and on three
being opened, the jet froM the first rose to 35 feet.. The
fourth was opened, and the jet of the first decreased to 30
feet. The fifth was then brought into play (viz.' six in all),
and the jet from the first only measured 27 feet, fully show-
ing that there was a regular gradation in the height of the
jets, according to the number opened. The next trial was
made in Toolev-street, the standcoeks being used as in the
former case. :Some slight difference was observed in the ele-
vation to which the jets were thrown, the first gaining GO
feet; and when the whole were opened the height was re-
duced to 40 feet, the delivery of water being at the rate of
70 gallons per minute. Another trial was then made in a
street leading into Tooley-street, where there was only a ser-
vice-pipe laid down, called a 5-inch main. The first stand-
cock threw a jet of 40 feet, and on the others being opened,
the one furthermost from the first started only emitted a jet
6124 feet, and a delivery of 58 gallons.

In consequence of some of the railway companies
having made arrangements with certain hackney-coach pro-
prietors to allow " privileged cabs to enter their terminuses to
take up fares, &c.,' meetings have been held by the hackney-
coach proprietors for the purpose of petitioning Parliament to
prevent the monopoly complained of. Interviews have been
had with Mr. Manners Sutton, who suggested that the right
of the railways to do so should be legally tried under the Acts
of Parliament, and a mandamus was applied for against Mr.
Rawlinson the magistrate, for not granting a summons. The
railways claim the " privilege" on the ground of " private
property." The meeting decided that all licensed hackney-
coach proprietors have a right to take up fares at railways.
Mr. Broadwood has paired off with Mr. Duff until
the 27th inst.

LIBERATION OF MR. OASTLER.—Yesterday the
arrangements for the liberation of Mr. Oastler were completed
by the London Committee with the attorneys of Mr. Thorn-
hill, at the Common Pleas-office, in Sergeant's Inn, Chancery-
lane. Early in the morning the Committee paid the amount
of debt, 2,806/. 17s. Bd., with interest at the rate of 4 per cent.
from the 12th of November, 1840, amounting to 3641. 18s. 2d.,
into the office ; and then received a Judge's order for the libe-
ration of Mr. Oastler.

'THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE.—Yesterday, pre-
' paratory to the dwnolition of the houses forming Bank-build-
ings, adjoining the New Royal Exchange, a very extensive
hoarding was being erected, and several of the inmates were
removing their furniture, the sale by auction of a portion of
them having been announced for Monday next. That part
disposed of will be then cleared away, and within a fortnight
the remaining portion will be also sold, and in a few days after-
wards the whole will be removed. Subsequently It is in-
tended, as quickly as possible, to eiect.on a part of the site
the statue of the buke of Wellington.
INTERESTING SALE AT WOOLWICH DOCKYARD,
FEB. 12.—A sale of stores commenced this day at the Wool-
wich Dockyard, and will be continued to-morrow, until the
whole of the articles enumerated in the catalogue have been
put up to the best bidder. Considerable interest has been
excited to witness the lots, as amongst them are a great
variety of richly embroidered dresses, tmade expressly for the
purpose of being presented to the chiefs and natives of
Africa by the commanders of the vessels fitted out for the
Niger expedition, but brought back 'to:this country in con-
sequence of the views of that enterprising expedition not
being carried into effect. The embroidered dresses consist of
splendid silk velvet robes of rich crimson, purple, and other
showy colours, bordered with gold lace. There are others
of cotton velvet and bright scarlet cloth embroidered with
gold and silver lace, and kersymere waistcoats with tillagree
buttons, and gold and silver lace ornaments, apparently
similar to those worn by footmen in this country. For
the chiefs there were several pair of red leather boots, and
red and yellow leather slippers, peculiar on account of their
great length-in the soles, being upwards of twelve inches in
length each. There are equally smart-looking saddles and
bridles for their horses, with holsters, pistols, and trappings
complete, and several excellent fowling-pieces for the field
sports of Africa ; and, to crown all, a number of bright-red
cloth caps richly embroidered. The African ladies were not
forgotten, as there are amongst the lots exposed for sale nu-
merous pieces of printed muslin dresses, and several hun-
dred pieces of printed cotton dresses, silk, persian, and
watered silk and cotton for window-curtains and chair
covers, and moreen and druggett for other purposes ; and in
addition to dresses for their children, their are small casks
of glass beads, and many other minor articles suited to the
tastes of uncivilized life in Africa, but now, in all probability,
will only be used by parties who are desirous of assuming
the characters of their uncivilized brethren at some future
masquerade.
DESTRUCTION OF HILLINGDON- HOUSE.—Hilling-
don House, the seat of Mr. R. H. Cox, was on Sunday de-
stroyed by fire ; nothing but the bare walls are standing,
and they are in so dangerous a state that they must be
levelled. The family were preparing for church when the
alarm was given, and speedy inforMation was forwarded to
Uxbridge, about a mile distant. The county engine, and
another furnished by the engine factory in Long-acre, while
a new one was building, was early on the spot, but from a
difficulty in obtaining water they were for some time useless.
The Hayes engine soon after arrived,• but the three were
barely sufficient to furnish the hose of one, from the distance
the water had to be conveyed. It was soon found that
nothing could save the house, and the efforts of those present
were concentrated upon the destruction of all connexion
with the valuable Offices. This,. fortunately, was effected.
In the meantime great part of the valuable pictures,
glass, and plate, with the most rare and. unique part of the
" plenishing," was placed out of danger. On the east of
Hillingdon Park is the seat of Mr. C. Mills, Mr. Cox's son-
in-law ; while on the north of his park is the residence of
another son-in-law, Mr. A. Granville, private Secretary of
the Duke of Wellington. The Earl of March and Ins
Countess were joining the last county meeting of the season.
The fire was purely accidental.
