Empowered by Special Act of Parliament.

THIS Company was Established in 1844, for
the purpose of opening to the public an easy and unquestion-
ably safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Inte-
rest.

The plan of the Bank f Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi-
nary Banks in the mode of employing capital—money deposited
with this Company being principally lent upon well secured Life
Interests, Reversions in the Government Funds, or other property
of ample value. This class of securities, although not immediately
convertible, it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit,
combined with the most perfeet safety. Further, Loans made by
the Company are collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on
the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of pre-
mium which secures the validity of the Policy against every pos-
sible contingency.
Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of
loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising
from the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit
to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS may be opened with sums of any amount, and
increased from time to time. at the convenience of depositors.
A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de-
posited.

MISSION.

The promoters of the above will feel deeply grateful to
any clergyiben who will kindly advocate the claims of the im-
portant cause they have undertaken, either in the pulpit or among
their friends. _ _ _ _

The spt,;re of the Mission is in a filthy town lately built and ra-
pidly extending, in an untrained swamp adjoining the Thames,
seven feet below high water mark; The poor inhabitants have con-
tributed most liberally of their penury, and it is earnestly desired to
enlist the sympathy of the rich West towards this attempt to raise
the spiritual, social, and physical condition of their brethren in this
poor and neg!ected district, in the extreme East of London. The
Bishop is to select the Clergy.
Full'particulars of the Mission will thankfully be given (on appli-
cation) by the Rev. R. W. B. Marsh, Incumbent of Plaistow; the
Rev. Alfred W. Mason, Secretary, Stratford-green, E.; or by An-
tonio Brady, Esq., Treasurer, Maryland-point, Stratford, E.

SPORTING NOTES.

HEAD QUARTERS.

Racing men will have little to employ their attention
at head-quarters this week, for the programme promises
two most uninteresting races fur the July and Chester-
field Stakes, whilst the character and quality of the sport
are likely to be still further affected by the death of the
venerable Duchess of Bedford, a circumstance which
will cause the "palace stable" to be unrepreaented. The
doubts which were entertained of the starting of Cooke-
doodle-do for the July Stakes have now been dispelled
by the horse's arrival at Newmarket. Bookmakers
have not yet commenced a book on the event, and in-
deed there is not likely to be much betting until the
telegraph board shows the starters. Greenfinch, who
was bought by Mr. Howard when a yearling for 910
guineas, is the only animal, besides Cocka-doodle-do, now
talked about in connection with the race, and as Mr.
Howard's youngsters seem to be in great force, and I
shall expect Greenfinch to repay at least a portion of
the money which has been expended on him.
The Midsummer Stakes looks on paper as if it would
not produce a race. I shall place it to the credit of
Comquot.
The running for the Chesterfield will be materially
regulated by the result of the race for the Jul. My
present "fancy," however, points to Windham.'
Lancaster is likely to furnish more racing in one day
than there will be at Newmarket in three. For the
Members' Plate the most noteworthy names appear to
be the Assayer and Odd Trick. Either King of the
Gipsies or General Williams may carry off the Cup, and
for the Borough Plate I shall select Alma and Logie
o' Buchan. The second day's racing I shall not touch
upon.

Even in the midst of winter speculation was not so
dull and uninteresting as at present. Few bets have
been made on the Goodwood Staked; the Cup is only
now and then " nibbled at," whilst the St. Leger is be-
coming almost a dead letter in the market. The near
approach of the Liverpool Meeting does not seem to
-rouse backers of horses into any activity, and they may
want the " glories" of the Goodwood gathering to give
them renewed spirit and animation.

Captain Richard S. Hewlett, C. 8., (1850), took
up his commission appointing him to the command
of her Majesty's ship EXcellent, on Saturday and
joined that ship. • Captain Hewlett was trained i❑
the Excellent,- and is perhaps the most practical
gunner of his rank in the service. It is reported,
however, that the Excellent is no longer to be
retained until flag promotion removes the,Captain;
but that the 'ship is to be commissione'l for three
years only, the usual peace term of ,Commands at

-Three gun-boats, the Grinder, Fancy, and
Cracker, were takes from the steam reserve at
Portsmouth on Saturday, and placed in the steam-
basin' to be fitted out for a cruise in the Channel
to test their relative qualities with the Jaseiir and
Jasper, also steam gun-boats ; the latter seem to
be a little larger ,than the others, and are also
rigged heavier, as brigantines, with main and
mizentopmaet4.
Gee. Sir J. Burgoyne, C4.C.8., Inspector-General
of Fortifications; visited Portsmouth on Saturday,
and embarked in the night on board the steam-
tender Sprightly, for pass Age to the Channel Islands,
to inspect the fortifications at that station.
The Wildfire steam-tender arrived at Portsmouth
on Saturday night, after disembarking supernume-
raries, and left yesterday morning for Sheerness.
The out-pension of Greenwich Hospital vacant by
the death of Rear-Admiral Slaughter has been
given to Captain John M'Donnell, 1846.
The Dia tem, 31, screw, is masting at Ports-
mouth, and will receive a great quantity of ballast
on board to equal the weight of topmasts, spars
and 'rigging,. guns, sea stores, Sec., so as to bring
her down to her heavy load line. She will then
take her trial at the measured mile at Stokes
Bay. The trial is looked forward. to with much
interest, as she is a most powerful frigate of a new
class to carry a " terrific" armament, and to work
up to nearly 3000 horse power..
The Flying F::sh has•had several trials at Spit-
head with the Bretagne screw, but hitherto without
results. She is to have another trial with half the
blades, two taken off.
The Ganges, 84, Captain John Fulford, is fitting
in No. 3 dry dock, at Sheerness, with ell dispatch,
to carry the flag of Rear-Admiral R. L. Baynes,

Most of her officers have already joined her, and
her marines are expected to-day.
The Princess Royal, 90, screw, Capt. G. Giffard,
C. 8., lying at Lisbon, June 29, is about to proceed
to Gibraltar, where she will replenish provisions
and stores, and will then proceed to join Lora
Lyons's fleet in the Mediterranean station—most
likely at Genoa, relieving the Brunswick, 80, screw,
Captain Broadhead, ordered to Colon, to relieve
the Orion, 91, screw, Captain Erskine, C.B , or-
dered dome.
The Royal Sovereign new screw three-decker
will be undecked in a few days at-Portsmouth.
The Vulcan iron steam troopship, Commander
Furneaux, is being dismantled in Portsmouth har-
bour preparatory to being paid off.
In consequence of alarm guns having been fired
from' the receiving ship Implacable, 50, Captain A.
Lowe, in Pl 3 mouth Sound, at midnight on Friday,
the gig belonging to the Custom-house and one in
the service of the African Mail Company left Mil-
bay to ascertain the cause. There was a strong gale
from the south-west, accompanied by heavy rain,
and in consequenctrof the thickness of the weather
some time elapsed before it was discovered that
a large ship was ashore on the breakwater.
She proved to be the Ontario, of. Liverpool,
Captain Duff, from Sunderland June 13, with
1,000 tons of coal for Aden. 'About ten days
since she put back for Cork, but, not , being
able to fetch that poet, bore up for Plymouth. They
made the French coast to the eastward of Brest on
Thursday night, and the next evening, on making
the Eddystone, dewed up fore and main topgallant
sails and courses. The breakwater was not seen un-
til so close that there was insufficient space for her
to weather about,- and she struck some 100 feet to
the eastward of the lighthouse, which is on the ex-
treme west end. Ithe crew allege that they did not
hear the fog bell until after the ship was ashore.
Boats from the Implacable and from the lighthouse
were soon in attendance. On Saturday the Onta-
rio's masts were cut away, and all her sails and
stores were saved, under the instructions of her
agents, Messrs. Fox, Sons, and Co. The hull must
go to pieces if the heavy weather continues. Some
of the crew are sent off by the Shipwrecked Mari-
ners' Society, and others are at the Sailor's Home,
'Plymouth.
The Cossack, 21, screw steamer, Captain J. H.
Cockburn (1855), from the West Indies, has arrived
at Chatham, and will go into harbour for the pur-
pose of being paid off into ordinary.
The Pre-ident, 50, Capt. C. Frederick, is parti-
ally stripped at Chatham, and as soon as her stores
have been removed she will be paid off out of com-
mission.
An influential meetineofthe inhabitants of Wool-
wich, at which Mr. G. H. Graham presided, hav-
ing been a short time ago convened for the pur-
pose of adopting a resolution for the relief of the
labourers of her Majesty's dockyards, &c., it was
resolved that a petition should be placed in the
hands ofMr. J. -Townsend, M.P. for Greenwich, to
be presented to the Government. On Saturday last
the result of the petition was made known at Wool-
wich. The Lords of the Admiralty have directed
that the pay of all men employed in the dockyards
and victualling establishments of the navy in the
receipt of 12s. per week shall be increased at the
rate of 2d. per day henceforth.
The defects in the machinery of her Majesty's
13 screwship Archer, recently paid off at Woolwich
from the North America and \Vest India station,
are ordered to be made good.
In consequence of the successful trials which
have been made at Woolwich of Messrs. Shortridge,
Howell, and Jessop's homogeneons metal, Govern-
ment have given directions for the use of that metal
in the construction of steam boilers, one of which
is ordered to be made for the 17 steam sloop Ma-
lacca, Capt. A. Farquhar.
The freightship James has been chartered by Go-
vernment to convey stores from Woolwich for Ber-
muda. The Marys has been likewise engaged to
transport a similar cargo for Valparaiso, and the
Mary Stoddart for Malta.
The shipment of the Transatlantic cable on board
the Agamemnon at Greenwich is proceeding with-
out interruption. On Saturday upwards of 600
miles bad been received and coiled safely in the
hold. The progress of its reception isaav'eraging
the rate of two miles per hour, and accord;ng to the
calculation of Mr. Glass, the manufacturer, the
work will be completed and the vessel ready for sea
about the 24th inst.
Weedon Dawes has been appointed mate to the
Ganges ; Hugh Campbell, mate to the Hawke ;
and E. Evans, mate to the Cornwallis. •
Lieut. T. B. Christopher and Liens-. A. Rayer
were promoted on Saturday to be commanders on
the reserved half-pay list.
Commander W. L. Partridge has been appointed
inspecting commander of the Coastguard.

REDUCTION. OP TI4I i't.A.Ait. —EXODUS
OP OUR BEST MEN.
We are sorry to see the reductions in the navy
going on wholesale) Whilst the manning of ships
fitting out, and even the guard-ships at the ports
only pick up their men after the Smallest retail
fashion. There is scarcely It man of war at home
fully manned. Unfortunately, opportunity lit
been given to the best men to go about their busi-
ness—namely, to enter foreign service whilst the
inferior classes feel themselves too well paid at
td
provided for to quit the British pendant, Queen'6
rations, and prospective Admiralty pensions: A
great mistake has been committed somewhere:
We do not think it was perpetrated at the Beard
of Admiralty : we feel assured rather that it origi-
nated at one of those Cabinet Councils, which, like
some Admiralty dockyard inspections bode no
good Ito the efficiency of the service. Still, the
naval members of the Admiralty are not without
their responsibility ; and, perhaps, a question or
two in the House of Commons, or House of Lords,
would afford an opportunity to the naval members
of the board, or their friends, on their behalf, for
repudiating any charge of complicity with the Go-
vernment in allowing the elite of the old Black Sea
fleet—the renowned naval brigade=the best sea-
men in the world, to leave the Queen's service
without a chance of recall on an emergency.
