DRURY-JANE THEATRE.

Mr. Walter Lacy mcde his rentree on S tturday,
after an absence from London of three years, in the
cbaricter of tiri'drake, in the Love Chase, which he
performed in the most artistic manner. We congra-
tulate the lovcrs of the drama oil the return to the
stage of the mqst gentlemanly actor of the day. He
was much applauded throughout. Mrs. Nisbett was
the joyous, 13scinating, Neighbour Constance, and
she never played better in her life than she did on
Saturday. Mrs. Parker was the Widow Green, and
acted with gr#-8t spirit and humour. The pantomime
concluded the evening's amusement?.

of all his efforts, and the various remedies he used, it would not
heal; in this very bad state he applied some of Holloway
Pills.—Patrick

Madrid journals of the 23d have arrived.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, PIDAL, refused
to answer certain questions put to him in the Cham-
ber on
,the subject of the negotiations pending with
Rome.
The Committee on the Press Bill have resolved to
recommend the granting to the proper authorities
power to suspend the publication of any
number of a journal when in its articles it
brings into dispute or attacks the vital principles of
Government; when it discusses questions affecting
the royal family ; when it interferes with the private
life of the citizens, or when it enunciates doc-
trines or publishes news of a nature to imperil the
public tranquillity. In all these cases the authorities
must deliver the printed sheets to the tribunals within
twenty-four hours. The question of the tribunal be-
fore which the journals are to be accused has not yet
been considered.

GERMANY.

The Elector of HESSE entered Cailel on the 27th,
guarded by his household troops. 'Where was a grand
review the same day of Prussian, Hessian, and Ba-
varian troops. In the evening there were some dis-
turbances, occasioned by the quarrels of the Bavarian
and Austrian troops, and the Austrian Commission
published a proclamation threatening to enforce
martial law in the event of any disturbance arising.
The ELECTOR has promised not to insist on the re-
cognition of the decree of 28th September.
As a consequence of the differences between the
Prussian and Austrian Commissioners, the Prussian
corps under General TILTZEN has returned to the
Electorate, and advanced to within two leagues ef
Clsticl. The Prussian troops retreated, however,
when a promise was given that the Bavarian gar-
rison of Cassel should be rednc€ d in numb:T.

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 claim,' have arisen from deaths in Englen4.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2801.—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, 1949, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding. _ _ _

Proposals were made for 138 Pelicie,s, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.:
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,
assuran^es were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. l Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9301. 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. Ild.
Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. 11s. 10d. 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 fu France, ➢fonsieur
de I'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability 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 Parisis, 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.

Capital-500,0"0l.
(Incorp,rated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office era —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficult♦ of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

Extenst
Modcrai

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Corapanies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
canes Company is established.

The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tin- e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investiga'ion will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classet of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.

Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

tion t e Office, or to any of its Agents.

discovered. She still at and laughs at those
who speak of prosecutions while neglecting
the obvious precaution so properly', insisted on
by Mrs. GLASSE of " first catching their
hare." Nor have any active exertions been
made to render her amenable to justice and to
ensure her presence at the time appointed for the trial
of her husband. The warrant officer, it is true, oc-
casionally saunters down to Pump-court and inquires
at the chambers whether she is at home. He may
also ask a few questions of the porters and
laundresses as to whether she has been
seen in the neighbourhood, and receiving answers in
the negative, thinks that he has done all that could be
expected at his hands. Alderman liumrifEnx appears
to be contented with, not a distinct assurance, but
" being given to understand that Mrs. SLOANE will
surrender at the Old Bailey to take her trial ;"
while the guardians of the West London Union,
who at the eleventh hour were induced to come for-
ward as prosecutors, did not receive with approbation

BONNY.

The bankrupt, George Bonny, was proprietor of the
well-known Clarence Hotel, on Windmill-hill, Graves-
end, and this was the first meeting under the bankruptcy
for the proof of debts and choice of assignees. Messrs.
Martineau and Read, of Raymond- buildings, appeared
as solicitors for the petitioning creditors, Messrs. Whit-
bread and Co., the London brewers, who made Bonny a
bankrupt on the 3d inst. for a debt of 961. odd.
The total amount of the bankrupt's debts are under
1,2001., acci the assets about 3001., but an execution has
been put in under a bill of sale. Mr. Evans, of Basing-
hall-street, has been appointed to prepare the bank-
rupt's balance-sheet; and Mr. Philip Woraley, one of
the partners of Whitbread and Co., was chosen the trade
assignee, and accepted the trust. The next meeting for
further proof of debts and examination of the bankrupt
is the Bth of February next, to which day he was pro-
tected.
