REPLY OF ALFRED '
TENNYSON, ESQ.
THE NEW POET LAUREATE.
Mosaic Bard 1 your lines, addressed tome,
Were not unwelcome lines—how could they be
I feel quite proud, in fact, that one like yop
Should notice me—upon my word I do I
Nor would I let this first occasion slip,
Of warmly thanking such a brother "chip."
I do not wonder at your feeling "nettled,"-
. On finding how the "Laureateship" is settled.
When first you heard of what I'm now enjoying,
The disapi ointm6nt must have been annoying.
The wonder is that you so calmly met it,
Wh-n every one expected " yon" to get it ;
T • get the berth, I mean, of Laureate Bard,
The lo,s of which you seem to take sa hard.
But, really, what with one thing awl another,
You're far more honoured than your laurelled brother.
Think for a moment, Cousin, what you arc
The muse of 7.kl OSES, that commercial star.
Proud would your brother be if lie rend jump
From his appointed "post" to Aldgate pump.
The " cioth" of 'MOSES (understand the phrase)
Would please me quite as much' as my " green bays."
Should MOSES, as you've hinted, change his muse,
And let me pop into your honour's shoes,
Good service to the dress I'll strive to do,
Although I know I can't come up to you ;
And oft shall MOSES have a rhyming benison,
From sour exalted brother, ALFRED TENNYSON.

- • . _ ._

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA 'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his sliplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

Qcornsii WIDOWS' FUND ASSURANCE

SOCIETY.
This is the oldest Life Office in Scotland, and one of the most such
ee sful in the kingdom. The Society was founded in the year 1815,
and obtained an Act of Parliament in the year 1840.
One of its great characteristics is the liberal, punctual, and simple
manlier in which the claims are settled, combined with the c.ire be-
stowed by the directors (with the advice and assktance of the me-
dical officers), in the selection of lives. The directors proceed upon
the principle of being most cautious and particular in their inquiries
before admitting members to the benefits of the Society ; but, after
being admitted, they are entitled to all the advantages which the
Society affords ; and when the claim emerges, no undue delay takes
pl ice, and no difficulties which can be avoided are interposed to pre-
vent an easy and expeditious settlement.
The Capital of the Society amounts to
TWO MILLIONS TWO HUNDRED AND FOUR THOUSAND

POUNDS.
The whole profits are divisible among the assured ; and the effect
of additions already declared may bejailgted of by the following
TABLE OF BONUS ADDITIONS.
POLICY FOR 1,0001.
London, England, 1850-12-23

Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium
Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates.
EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0,101.
(Incorporated 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 difficulty 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.
It has been found by experience, that the total anneal losses of the
different Established Companies 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-
ranee 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 tithe to tire, 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 investigation 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 classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by 'lre are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on modeiate terms.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest
medicalhonours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

THREATENED STRIKE OF SOME
OF THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN
DRIVERS.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

The London and North-Western trains are work•
ing as usual. The drivers have for the present
abandoned their resolution to strike at 24 hours'
notice ; and though there is every likelihood that a
strike will take place, there is reason now to hope
that the better sense of the men will, at all events,
induce them to give the fourteen days' notice stipu-
lated for in their regulations.
The tone of the resolutions of the Northern
Division men is so arbitrary and unseemly, that it is
impossible for the directors, if any discipline at all
is to be preserved on the line, to submit to demands
which are alike pregnant with injury to the men
and danger to the public.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THISDAY.)
THE LATE DARING ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED
STRANGULATION IN NORTON-STREET.— William Thomp-
son, alias the " Black Diamond," was brought before Mr.
Bingham for having been concerned with two other men
not in custody, in committing a most daring robbery,
accompanied with violence, on the person of Mr. Adol-
phus Dubois, dentist, Princes-street, Leicester••square.
The particulars of the former examination appeared
in this journal on Thursday last. Tho prisoner was
now defended by Mr. Cross, solicitor, of Surrey-street,
Strand.

The evidence adduced on the former examination
having been read over by Mr. Leadlop, the chief clerk,
the prisoner's solicitor proceeded to examine the prose-
cavir as to his identity of the prisoner, but elicited
nothing whatever to shako the evidence he oTered on the
previous occasion, he (the prolecutor) being confident
the prisoner was the man who gagged and robbed
him. Several gentlemen who bad been robbed by similar
means were in court, but could not distinctly swear
that the prisoner was the person who had committed the
offence.

The prisoner, who persisted in his innocence, was fully
committed for trial.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

MID KENT AND DOVER.—This line is promoted by a
body of landowners, who have consented to act as a pro-
visional board of trustees, and for the landowners gene-
rally along the line, who, it is said, are willing to gua-
rantee a minimum rate of interest on the capital, not ex-
ceeding two per cent., if the profits of the railway are
insufficient to pay four per cent. The trustees consider
that the guarantee will be merely a nominal affair, pre-
suming that the line will be ch. aply constructed, under
special contract, and that the receipts will be more than
suflicieat to cover the current expenses and interest at
four per cent. It is expected that the project will be
opposed by the South-Eastern Company. The land-
owners, it is stated, have resolved to obtain an Act for
constructing the line at all hazsrds, so as to wary
railway accommodation to the district through which
it is intended to pass. Emissaries representing both
parties are on the alert in every parish, and vestry
meetings are taking place to test the general opinion
of the parishioners on the subj,ct. Yesterday a meet-
ing took place in the retry of the parish of Bapchild,
having been convened to consider the propriety
cf opposing the proposed railway." A resolution, re-
commendirg " that the several landowners to be affected
by is should dissent from the proposed plan," was put
to the meeting, and lost; and an amendment, proposed
by Mr. J. Lake, declaring " that no opposition should
be offered, but every facility afforded," was declared by
the chairman, Mr. W. Gascoyne, to be carried. Should
tt e landowners succeed in obtaining 'their Bill, and ulti-
mately find that this railway, like all other railways,
should coat a larger amount than they estimate, and the

TICKETING FUR SHOPS.

At Marlborough-street, on Saturday, Colonel
Short, the hon. secretary of the House of Charity,
Rose-street, accompanied by Miss Earl, the matron,
applied for a summons against a tradesman in Oxford-
street, under these circumstances :
Colonel Short stated that Miss Earl, having been
commissioned to select a boa for a young friend,
went on Friday into Oxford-street, and entered a
fur shop, intending to make a purchase if she found
an article to suit her. She was shown some boas,
but none would suit, and, though very much
pressed to make a purchase, she persisted in leaving
the shop. She walked into another shop, followed,
however, by some person from the shop she had just
quitted, and made a purchase at the second shop. As
she came out, the person from the first shop touched
her on the shoulder, and asked her to go back to his
shop, as a boa had been missed, which she was
suspected to have sto!en. The person said
there were seven boas placed on the coun-
ter before her, and six only were found after
she had left the place. Miss Earl immediately con-
sented to return to the shop, and when there sent for
'he warden, a clergyman, to whom her character was
known. The persons belonging to the shop wished
her to go up stairs and be searched by one of the
females belonging to the establishment. Miss Earl
refused to leave the shop, or to allow herself to be
searched until the warden had arrived. As soon as
the warden came she said she was quite willing to
be searched, and she did undergo some kind of
searching operation, but of course no boa was found.
The person belonging to the shop said, in the war-
den's presence, that eight boas had been placed on
the counter, and that only seven were found.
Colonel Short said his motive for bringing the case
forward was to protect the public, and ladies especi-
ally, who went into ticketing shops in Oxford-street,
from being either imposed upen, treated with rude-
ness or violence, or subjected to a charge of felony,
if they would not make a purchase. Miss Earl was a
person of unblemished character ; and as he was made
acquainted with the facts, he brought her to the court
to make an application for a summons.
Mr. Hardwick asked Miss Earl whose shop she re-
ferrei to? Miss Earl replied the name of Stockbridge
was over the shop. _ _

Mr. Hardwick said the assault was the touch on
the shoulder, but, under the circumstances, he hardly
thought such a charge could be sustained. The real
offence was detaining Miss Earl on a charge of felony.
However, if there was evidence enough to make out
a case of assault, the penalty which a magistrate could
inflict would hardly be a sufficient punishment. He
should advise the aggrieved party to apply to an at-
torney, who would, no doubt, recommend an action to
be brought in the County Court for damages.
The parties thanked the magistrate, and left the
court.
