ASSURANCE COMPANY,

The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprlo-
ors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
,)dice, 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 Englan:,
Ind but two in Ireland—one for 500/. and the other for Mi.—making
together 700/., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
nortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
ieverely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.

The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1549, and
-he 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
She twelve months preceding.

Prop ,sals were made for 13S Policies, amounting to 52,963/. 2s. 6d.:
)f these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. Gs.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,048/., upon which 320/. 3s.
,vas received by the Company in the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
tssurawes were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 123 6d., pro-
iucing in annual premiums 3,732/. its. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
mounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
1411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
1,9911. 15s. 1 Id.

since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,133/. 11s. I.od. only was advanced.

The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
'ast four m 'nths they had considerably extended their business on
:he Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
to FEtang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all. assurance matters,
oho, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
he Cardinal Archbish ,p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Par!sis, Eveque
to Langres, haS already within the last three months effected a con•
,Iderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An;
iiiities both Immediate and Deferred.

After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
.hanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Atirman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
.ll; nt, the meeting separated, highly gratified at Its present results

R. GARDNER'S WORM MEDICINE.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the i.ri-
vation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by
a ca se so prevalent as that of worms in the human body.
It is proved by the bills of mortality that one-half of the children
born are cut off before attaining their seventh year. The source of
this fearful mortality is found to exist in that foul state of the stomach
and bowels which children are so liable to, and pr6duces the genera-
tion of Worms. The four mosticommon species are-
- ASCARIDES VERMIC CLARIS, commonly called Maw or
Th:•cad Worm, is about.half-an•inch in length, and the t'.ickness
of a thread. They infest every part of the alimentary canal, but
principally the lower extremity of the bowels, occa‘loning pain.
Tkeir increase is most rapid; and the number existing In one
individual is often incredible, and this in persons of all ages.
TRICURIS IrULGARIS, or long Thread Worm, is about two
inches in length, and tapers down from the head to the tail ; they
are not so common as the former. These also infest the whole ali-
mentary canal, and are equally tormenting.
TERES LUMBRICOIDES, or long round Worms, are generally
from 4 to 12 inches in length, of the substance of a goose-quill.
These exist in the regions of the stomach, causing sickness, bile, fla-
tulence, with headache.
PP:WU OSCULIS MARGINALIBUS, or Tape Worm. The dis-
tinguishing character of this species consists in the oscula, or mouths,
being situated upon the margin of each joint, which is flat. They
vary In breadth, and also in length from 6 to 170 yards, and the
joints decrease in all cases as they approach the head. Extraordi-
nary specimens of the tribe have been exhibited at the Museum of
the late Dr. Gardner, to the astonishment of thousands who have
witnessed theme
"firs celebrated medicine has stood the test of half a century's ex-
perience, eflectually destroying every kind of Worms, and rea ovlng
all impurities tram the stomach and boa-els, by invigorating which
Worms are not only expelled, hut their generation prevented ; and
may be administered with confldcnce to children, or the most debili-
tated adult, without restraint in diet or confinement.

EA ST INDIA MILITARY COLLEGE

ADDISCOMBE.

OFFICIAL DEPUTATION FROM TUE EAST INDIA HOUSE.
On Monday a deputation from the East India House
proceeded to the East India Company's Military Se-
minary at Addiscombe, near Croydon, for the pur-
pose of receiving reports from the Public Examiner,
Sir Charles W. Pasley, K.C.8., and from Major
Richardson, acting Governor since the death of the
late Lieutenant-Governor, Sir Ephraim Stannurs, of
the progress made by the gentlemen cadets in their
military duties, and the various branches of education.
The directors arrived at the college soon after
eleven o'clock. The examinations were conducted by
Major General Sir Charles Pasley,- and the answers
received to very difficult questions were of a highly
satisfactory character.
The report of the Public Examiner was then read,
which stated that, after eight day s' close examination
of the gentlemen cadets in mathematics and other
studies, he felt himself justified in reporting to the
military committee that he could bring forward 38
gen tletnen of the first class for the present year, viz.,
5 for the engineers, 16 for the artillery, and 17 for the
infantry. In the department of mathematics a
Lager number than usual had qualified them-
selves ; and although the number for engi-
neers was not above the average number, yet
he had pleasure in stating that their progress
hail seldom been more satisfactory. To the questions,
both written and verbal, in the department of mathe-
matics, the same observations would apply. The
system of sand modelling had also received consider-
able attention, being now practised by the whole of.
the students, a simple model being given to them in
their roams, which having been constructed and ap-
proved, was then taken to pieces, end the task re-
commenced by others. The professor of Hindustani
reported that his department had progressed very fa-
vourably, and the works in civil and 'military draw-
ing were equally creditable. In the study of geology
considerable praise was due to the students who bad
devoted themselves to this voluntary study, and the
professor had great pleasure in stating that-the an-
swers of' 25, out of 35, of this class had been highly
satisfactory. It was with great regret to both masters
and professors of the college, that they had heard of
the retirement of the professor of civil drawing from
the office that he had filled with so much honour to
himself and service to the company.
The report of Major Ritherton on the orders of the
term, stated that,the institution was in a high state
of discipline. The orders of the corporals had been
most implicitly obeyed, and they had exercised their
authority in a steady proper manner. There now
appeared throughout the institution a determination
to put down and effectually suppress the ungentle-
manly system of " fagging," and more honourable
feelings and demeanour had been encouraged.
The Clerk of the Military Department then read
the list of the prizes that had been awarded:—
FIRST CLASS.
Mr. F. Stanton—Second prize in mathematics,
first prize in fortification, prize in military survey,
ing, second prize in Hindustani, and the gold " Pol-
lock medal.
The CHAIRMAN (handing Mr. Stanton the medal)
said—l have much pleasure and satisfaction in pre-
senting you with this medal, struck in commemora-
tion of the distinguished services of General Sir
George Pollock, and presented by the inhabitants of
Ca'eutta, as a reward for proficiency in the studies
of gentlemen in this seminary. Your good conduct
has rendered you worthy of this mark of distinction.
It is indeed a most enviable prize, and it is the hope
of myself and the Court of Directors thet it will sti-
mulate you in the pursuit of high attainments, and
that you will continue in that path of honour which
is the true road to distinction.—(Cheers.)
trovendon—Second prize in mathematics.

senting him (Mr. Prendergast) in the name of the
Court of Directors with that sword, as a reward for
his strictly moral and exemplary conduct, and his un-
diminished attention to his studies. fie congratu-
lated him and his friends on the high honours he had
attained, and he trusted in God thz.t his life might be
long spared to continua in that honourable course
with profit to himrelf and service to his country.

length. —Fourth prize for good conduct.

The business cf the examination having termi-
nated, the chairman, and the other gentlemen who
took part in the procecdinge of the day, together with
a number of their friends, partook of a collation in
the evening, at the residence of the Governor of the
establishment.

PUBLIC .CONVEYANCES AND THE
P°LiCe2IIMISSIONERS.
Considerable annoyance and disappointment has of
late been occasioned, and much loss of time expe-
' Newington, for
rienced, parties who have been in the habit of
twhaei tninugmeartotulise
omnibusesEle hant and
il
dssCasttlo and from all partse
of town and the suburban districts, in consequence of
an order issued by the Commissioners of the Metropo-
litan Police, prohibiting omnibuses waiting to take uppassengers, parcels, &c., although under the surveil-
lance of the " time keepers" in the service of the ome
nibus proprietors.
Mr. Taylor, the proprietor of the Elephant and
Castle, had an interview with Mr. Commissioner
Mayne, who wished him to address the hoard on the
subject by letter. This he has done, and in his com-
munication to the Police Commissioners be states—
" The Elephant and Castle stands in the centre of
six principal roads which lead to the east and west
end of London, and to all the neighbouring suburbs
in Surrey and Kent. It has ever been the mus-
tering ground' for passengers, many of whom are
here exchanged for the branch omnibuses;
also, several of the 'reduced fares' here begin
and end ; and numbers walk to this central situation,
and commence their journey, to save payment of the
larger fares;' indeed, the stoppages have amounted
to at least 4,000 a day, which, taken at two or three
passengers each stoppage, will at once show how
greatly the public are inconvenienced by the recent
regulation."
Mr. Tayler has received the following reply from
Mr. Commissioner Mayne

" Sir,—l have to r.cilnowledge the receipt of your
letter of the 26th instant., 'and to acquaint, you, in
reply, that having made inquiry as to the regula-
tions enforced - by the, police at the Elephant
,and .Castle, .1 find that sufficient time is allowed

for any omnibus to take up or set down passengers
there.

" The same regulations are enforced at all the other
places, and it is found that they promote the public
convenience, by not allowing delay from omnibuses
stopping unnecessarily."
The matter has since been warmly taken up by a
number of influential gentlemen, and a memorial,
most numerously and respectably signed, will shortly
be presented to the Metropolitan Police Commis-
sioners.

[PRICE SD.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS,

PROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

TIMES. —ln anticipating the answers which the
Queen would be advised to return to the addresses
from the civic body of the City of London and her
Universities, we ventured to predict that her Majesty
would express herself in terms worthy of the exalted
position which she occupies, and of the people who are
the willing subjects of her sway. That anticipation
has not been disappointed. It seems to have been felt
very properly that the presentation of these addresses
was not a matter of mere routine, which could be ade-
quately met by the utterance of a few common-place
phrases tesselated and entwined together so as to im-
part the least quantity of meaning in the largest
quantity of words. The occasion was in some sort
personal to the Sovereign who delivered the answer.
We sincerely believe that there was nothing in the
whole course of the recent conduct of the Papal See
more deeply felt and more keenly resented by the
people of England than the fact that it was through
the Queen that the nation was insulted. Attacks on
its external power and greatness a magnanimous na-
tion can bear with equanimity, while it repels
them with vigour. But an interference with its
internal polity, taking the form of an assumption
of the undoubted prerogative of the Crown by a fo-
reign Prince, aroused other feelings and susceptibili-
ties, and rallied round the Sovereign the cordial and
enthusiastic loyalty. of an unanimous and devoted
people. No Sovereign of the House of Hanover has
ever been the object of so genuine and hearty a de-
monstration of attachment and sympathy as her Ma-
jesty during thelist two months. It was, therefore,
to be hoped that in reward for so much enthusiasm
the iron bands of etiqutte would be for once relaxed,
and that her Majesty would be advised to address her
subjects in terms guarded and dignified indeed, but
which might do justice to the proud and grateful
feelings with which a Sovereign who has the good
fortune to find herself so beloved by such a people
must be penetrated. The answer to the City Lieu-
tenancy, taken in connexion with the address which
it echoes, is peculiarly emphatic, since it pledges her
Majesty, as supreme governor of this realm, to em-
ploy- the power entrusted to her against all " en-
croachment "—the term employed in the address to
designate the aggressions of the Church of Rome.
The answer to the address cf the University of
Cambridge expresses her Zslajesty's cordial sympathy
with the late movement, and her determination
to uphold the just privileges of the Established
Church. We are aware how dangerous it is to draw
definite inferences from royal speeches, in which cau-
tion and constitutional usage always introduce a cer-
tain degree of vagueness. But we think that the fair
construction of the language which her Majesty has
been advised to use, taken in connexion with the letter
of the Premier cad the wording of the addresses to
which she responds, implies a pledge on the part of
he r responsible advisers that the Crown will he ad-
vii-d to use its powers, executive and legislative, so
res. as shall be necessary to vindicate its own rights
and the Constitution of the land from the encroach•
T 'lent of the Pope. The answer to the address of the
University of Oxford goes more into detail than any
of the others, and is not wanting in a certain tone of
solemn and serious admonition. The allusion to the
attachment cf the University to the Constitution may
well excite a blush among those of her members who
have recently lent their names to the crusade against
her Majesty's supremacy, or who are now seeking to
thwzat and render abortive the commission which she
his issued by withholding the intbrmation which is
sought in a friendly and conciliatory spirit. In the
.atne spirit was her Majesty's allusion to the
Reformed Church, the government of which is by
law intrusted to her and to the faithful ad
herents of the University, to its principles, doc-
trines, and discipline—words to which the circum-
stances of the day give a profound and searching
meaning. The exhortation to educate the youth in-
trusted to them in the truths of Holy Scripture, so as
to be a bulwark to the Protestant faith, is as marked
a condemnation as the decorum of the occasion would
admit of those Romanizlng teachers who profess
shame at the Reformation, who avow their intention
to unprotestantize the Church of England, and who
regard the Bible as acquiring all its value from the
imprimatur of an infallible Church. Cavils might, no
doubt, be raised on particular expressions in these
answers, but we think, upon the whole every candid
person must admit that her Majesty has spoken with
dignity, firmness, and propriety, and has addressed to
a portion of the clergy of the Church of England a
lesson which they greatly needed, and by which they
will do wisely to profit. The letter of the Duke of
Norfolk to Lord Beaumont, which we publish else-
where, is a most remarkable sign of the times. In
that letter this noble personage, the natural leader
and head of the Roman Catholic laity, emphatically
declares that ultramontane opinions are totally income
patible with allegiance to our Sovereign and with our
Constitution. Thus, while our philosophic Radicals
and dilettanti politicians are writing eloquent letters
to show that the press and people of England are the
most intolerant and unreasonable of mankind, a voice
is raised from the ancestral head of the Roman Ca •
tholics themselves to prove how true is their instinct,
how just their indignation, how reasonable their pro-
test. We are grateful to the Duke of Norfolk for
his mely avowal, and we honour not less the
moral courage which has enabled him to make it, than
the clear and unbiassed good sense which has led him
to perceive its truth. We have always endeavoured
in discussing the claims of the Pope to distinguish
between the Roman Catholic clergy and laity, and
have expressed the opinion that the recent measures
were levelled quite as much against the latter as
against the Protestant people of England. The Duke
has, indeed, touched the very root of the evil. De-
prived of its ultramontanism, the Roman Catholic
religion loses its foreign and anti-national aspect,
and though it may still excite the censure of the
theologian, would excite in a far less degree the
distrust and jealousy of the practical politician. Had
the division of England into dioceses been the work
of the Roman Catholic body resident in England,
without foreign intervention, how little should we
have heard of the excitement of the last two months !

DAILY NEWS.—The " Dukery," of all places
in England, is in rebellion. Mr. Bromley having re-
signed its representation, the tenant farmers are
resolved on choosing a member of their own. They'll
have ,none of Lord Newark; not they. They know
the worth of Lord Manvers to a penny, so repudiate
his son. They see in that great aristocrat a bad pro.
tectionist and a worse landlord; greedy of his rents
and careless whence they are paid, whether out of pro-
duce or capital; so they reject the heir of his titles
and his farms. They have been too often deceived by
the dukes and their offspring; so they ignore ,the
well-understood rule of the "Bakery," that a ducal
son or nominee has the first claim to their votes.
Loudly though Lord Newark protests be is their
friend, they won't listen to him. They are tired of
the worn-out cry he shouts in their ears; they are
wearied by the re-appearance of the old stereotyped
placards of Toryism; they have learnt the value of
aristocratic promises and pledges. So, marching up
to the County Hall of Nottingham, they have
insisted on an honest, plain-speaking 'squire of
their own kidney starting for the " Dukery:' If
that be not rebellion, then is . Mr. Bennett,
of St. Barnabas, a thorough-going Protestant.
There is hope in this pluck, even though it be not at
present rightly directed, for the primary want of
county constituencies is independence. That achieved,
intelligence and sound principle will follow in due
course. And if the "Dukery" lead the way to inde-
pendence, who need fear for the rest of English
counties ? It therefore, a great matter they have
in hand, these tenant farmers of South Notts, in
pitting Mr. Barrow against Lord Newark. Mr.
Barrow is, to be sure, a Protectionist—more's the
pity. But to wave the flag of protection at a county
hustings has become very harmless work; for every-
body now knows protection to be a sham. It is dead
and buried ; and what stalks about here and there on
these state occasions is its ghost. This the tenant
farmers bow to, rather because of their unwillingness
to admit their past error than from any faith in the
resurrection of the reality; and this the squires
recognise and encourage, rather as an excuse for not
reducing rents than because they have any serious
haps it will again give them Act of Parliament
prices. We must allow both a li‘tle time and privacy
before they finally disuse old cant phrases and
shuffle completely off their ancient hankerings. Let
us be content in the meanwhile that .the substance
is gone, and that the form only remains; that
protection bas become only the shadow of a great
evil. But Mr. Barrow, the farmer's choice, is a Protec-
itonist and something more than a Protectionist. He
is—what Lord Newark, who also affects protection,
doss not preteed to be—a financial reformer, and as
such almost adopts the very language of Sir Joshua
Walmsley, Mr. Hume, Mr. Williams, and, worse
than all, of Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright. Here,
then, the tenant farmers of South Notts have selected
as their candidate a business-like squire, who really
thinks that the country pays too much for its govern-
ment. Their man is a Protectionist, but not a stupid
Protectionist, such as the Dukes would a yeer or two
ago have given them. He not only understands county
business, but has a strong desire to cut down both
county tin 1 rq,innal. expenditure. Now this is in
reality what the tenant farmers everywhere want;
though they have not as yet the courage everywhere

to express their wants. But pluck in England is an
I infections quality, particularly if once attended with
suc,.:?sq. So only ltt the farmers of South Notts re-
tuin on this ground Mr. Barrow to Parliament, and
tl.ev %% Hi find their cry and example wonder fully pupil-
-1 Ir. But there is not one rebellion in the Dukery, but
there i 3 a split among the Dukes. The split would,
doubtless, never have been known but for the
rebellion. But then it is a great fact, and a notable
one too. For what it indicates is this, that good land-
lords, such as the Duke of Portland and Lord Mid-
dleton, won't make common cause with bad landlords
like Earl Manvers. This, again, is another excellent
symptom. Political independence and a desire for a
reduction in public expenditure amongst the tenants;
and a separation between the good and bad land-
owners of the Dukery—what can look better? Yet
even this is not all; for though the good " Dukes"
don't like to patronise national retrenchment, they
will rather risk that than assist the bad " Dukes;"
and so the Dukes of Portland and Newcastle are
content to support the farmer's choice, rather than
assist one of their own class, who does not " do his
duty in that state of life in which it has pleased
God to call him." When we find both tenant farmers
and Dukes.thus concurrently rising above the pre-
judices of their position in the world; and the Dukes
sacrificing a little to act with the farmer', why, the
world, we must confess, is moving, even where pro-
gress was least to be expected. It moves even in the
Dukery. It is not of come to be expected that
South Notts, even if Mr. Barrow prevails over Lord
Newark, will make a contribution to the Liberal side
of the House of Commons. Bat what is pleasant and
hopeful, is to see a county election getting into new
hands—out as it seems of the old ruts—and the
chances of a rational reasonable man being.infused
into the Conservative ranks. Anything is better
than an adherence to family representation—a per-
petuation of old corrupt aristocratic pretensions in
counties—than sending, as a matter of course, a
senselesS Lord to Parliament, because he happens to
he the oldest son of a house whose eldest sons have
always sat for the county. Far better than this is it
that the real constituency should send a stock or a
stone to the House of Commons—anything rather than
prolong the farce of representation. The first thing to
be attained is county independence of such influence :
that secured, county intelligence, we repeat, will fol-
low. No class of the community has so deep an in-
terest in reduction of expenditure in all forms as
tenant farmers ; for no class has so little money
wherewith to pay their quota of public expenditure,
and no class needs the little money they have more in
their own trade. Yet there are they represented in
the House of Commons by men who will support any
extravagance, and vote for any estimate ; by men who
have a direct pecuniary and a great social interest in
keeping up armies and navies to the highest possible
point ; for by them they extend the pension list to
their own families. Why, with only a score of
county Members similarly disposed to Mr. Barrow,
the farmers' candidate for South Notts, millions might
be saved in the estimates, and the county rates placed
under the control of the ratepayers. But until the
counties assert their independence and display intelli-
gence the country will go on staggering under its
present burthens.

SOCIETY FOR THE AMENDMENT OF

THE LAW.

A meeting of thin society ass held on Monday even-
leg at its rooms, 27, Regent-street, Mr. M. D. Hill,
Q.C., in the chair. The mieutes cf the last meeting
were confirmed, and acme new members admitted.
The CHAIRMAN said that the Council lad given tha
pre'ereece that rvenirg to a motion Qf very considerable
importance, which they were desirous should be inquired
into forthwith, in oral r that the result might be laid
before Parlia:uent during its approaching session. lie
need not say to gentlemen who had been present at the
last meeting that they all had been very much struck
with the exposition of the new code of law and proce-
.lure in the State of New York which had been given
to them by Mr. Field, one of the Commissioners by
whom that code was produced and laid before the State
of New York. Professional gentlemen would feel sa-
tisfied with regard to the prast:cal success of that cede
from the observations of Mr. Field, which had been
formed on his own experience and that of others who
had examined into his working. But it would net be
reasonable to expect that the opinions of that gentleman
would receive from the people of this country that im-
rlicit respect which many of themselves were disposed
to accord to them. It would be said that Mr. Field na-
turally had a bias in favour of that which was the off-
spring of his own mind; and, however much they
might be disposed to give credit to his ability,
will it would be satisfactory to know what were the ge-
neral opinions respecting the code among the countless
inhabitants of the United States.—(Hear, hear.) The
Council had been much struck with this consideration,
and they thought it would be very desirable to institute
an inquiry by means of questions properly framed, to be
dispersed through the great state of New York, for the
purpose of learning from a sufficient number to be quite
sure that they had gained an adequate knowledge of
what was the public opinion of the legal revolution, for
he could call it by no other name, which had been
wrought in that state.—(Hear, hear.) Their indefati-
gable member, Mr. Stewart, had waited on Mr. Law-
rence, the American Minister in this country, and he
had proferred his services to transmit any inquiries they
might have to make, and they could not have a better
channel of communication, as it would insure a careful
examination of their questions from the countrymen of
that gentleman. The principle upon which they had
been framed was the following:—First, the attention of
the reader was drawn to what must be the main object
in every well-constituted system of jurisprudence; they,
wanted to know whether the new system had given fa-
cilities for bringing a cause speedily and clearly before the
consideration of the judge, and for doing away with all
other considerations whatever. That object had not
been obtained in our own system. It was difficult al-
most to credit the fact that the English people, who
boast, d to be in the van of civilization, could endure the
system which at that very moment was in operation in
their courts of law, and of the working of which the fol-
lowing account might be taken as a specimen. A trades-
man in humble life brought an action on contract against
a rich merchant in this city, and his commercial exist-
ence depended on the result. At the trial it was found
that the contract was not framed in such a manner as
exactly conformed with the evidence. Application was
made for leave to make an amendment, and the judge
granted an amendment, notwithstanding an objection
that the amendment proposed was open to a special de-
murrer. The judge reserved the point for the consi-
deration of the Court in banco, which gave effect, as it
was bound to do, to the demurrer. The plaintiff was
nonsuited, and, consequently, ruined. He was driven to
an act of self-destruction, and terminated his existence
by laying himself down before a railway train. That
was a result of d special demurrer, which, it might be
well to add, was unlike a general demurrer, in not hav-
ing anything whatever to do with the merits of the case.
—(Hear,) It was neither more nor less than a piece of
legal pedantry.—(Hear.) In the second place, they de-
sired to know whether the practical working of this code
had shortened the time of litigation in each suit. The
third head of the queries related to the question of ex-
rhnse. Upon the abstract question of expense there
could be no difference; but he (Mr. hill) had often
thought there existed a disposition to reduce too much
the gains of the professional man. Now, a man must
live by his labour; but ho would say, simplify actions,
and then the professional man would be relieved of much
toil, and would be satisfied to receive smaller gains.—
(ilesr.) The number of actions would also be increased
when the expense was diminished.—(Hear.)

Mr. STEWART then moved a resolution to the effect
that certain questions respecting the new code of the
state cf New York, and its practical operation, should
be transmitted to Mr. Lawrence, the American Minister,
to bo disseminated by him amongst the merchants and
lawyers of the state of New York. The respondent
was requested to reply to the following interrogatories,
in addition to those mentioned by the chairman:—Whe-
ther be was acquainted with the New York system of
procedure lately come into operation—whether he had
been professedly engaged or interested in any case
arising under it—what was his opinion respecting the
eff, ct of the code in promoting or repressing litiga-
tion—whether the new system had been found to
work inconveniently in bringing the parties to liti-
gation—how far the principle of admitting interested
witnesses should be carried to its full extent by
making parties competent to give evidence in their own
cases--a bat obstacles still remained before a case could
be decided solely on its merits—st bather the new system
had been adopted in any other country—whether the new
course of procedure had diminished the incomes of pro-
fessional men in a greater proportion than it had dimi-
nished their labour—whether the members of the legal
Profession were, as a body, favourable to the chine—
whether, having regard to the difficulties under the new
course of proceeding, the respondent desired a return to
the old system.
Mr. WEBSTER having seconded the resolution, it was
put and carried unanimously.
Mr. CREASY suggested that a committee of the society
might be usefully employed in selecting some portions of
the New York code, with the view of giving publicity
to them. ¶1 he recommendation was formally approved.
Mr. P. TAYLOR moved that instructions should be
given to the secretary to address a letter to the magis-
trates of the County Courts, requesting them to auto
britfly whether in their opinion that part of the County
Courts Acts operated well which permits parties to be
witnesses in their own causes.
The motion was seconded and carried.
Mr. MASSEY moved, and Mr. VANsITTART seconded,
the ect,ption of the first report of the committee on corn-
mai law as to pleading, &c., in the superiour courts.
The motion was carried unanimously, and the proceed-
ings then terminated.

THE LATE ESCAPE FROM THE MODEL PRISON.—..
AUDACITY OF THE CoNvlcr.—George Hackett, who made
his escape from the Model Prison, Pentonville, on Sunday
the Ist inst., and for whose apprehension a reward of 50/
is offered, had the audacity, on Friday last, to make his ap-
pearance in BillingsgAte, whither he was driven in a cab. lie
visited several public-houses, at one of which he paid for
half a pint of rum to treat ilia companions, and then pro-
ceeded in the same conveyance down Thames-greet, and
over Tower- hill. What renders this act most daring is that
his father worked for many years in the market, and thf
convict himself having been brought up in the vicinity, is
personally known to most of the porters and others about the
neighbourhood, Who either were afraid to attempt his 'cap-
ture, well knoWing his desperate character, or else they had
not seen the handbill offering the reward, which was only
issued on that day.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the barometer

inches on every day except Wednesday, when it was 29.982
inches; on Friday the mean was 30.2t0; and the mean of the
week was 30.146. The mean temperature was below the
average of the same days in seven years on the first three
days f the week, and above it during the remainder. On
Sunday the mean temperature was 36.9°, or 6.4° below the
average; on. Thursday it was 50.1°, or 96' above the
average—changes which seem to operate unfavourably on
the public health. The mean temperature of the week was
