NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR-
ANCE SOCIETY,
26, CORNHILL, LONDON.
Capital £500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deterred 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 full 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.

111. SCALPEL'S ANATOMY of the PEERAGE ; forming a own,
plcte Illstory of the I'eerage of the United Kingdom, for the Informs
tion of its People.

The WEEKLY CHRONICLE is now printed on superior paper of
the largest size, containing more reading matter than any other Lon-
don weekly paper. Great care is bestowed on the condensation aunt
arrangement of its general news and Parliamentary intelligence, of
which it gives a much hiller and far more satisfactory summary than
any of its Contemporaries. And this it is enabled to do from the
principle on which its contents are selected and adjusted ; for while
the Weekly Chronicle will be found to give due attention to literature,
science, the tine arts, the drama, and wen to sporting intelli-
gence, so far as this latter can bo said to interest the general
reader, neither sporting, nor any other feature of minor interest, are
allowed to supersede the proper objects of a newspaper—those sub-
jects of breathing, living Import to the progress of society, and to the
well-being of the people throughout the whole length and breadth of
Home and Colonial England. The Weekly Chronicle is the advocate
of extended suffrage—of the baliot—of a shortened duration of Par-
liament---of free trade—of systematic colonisation—of the education
of the people on the principles of civil and religious liberty—of a re-
adjustment of the revenues of the Irish Church, mad of other measures
of justice calculated to consolidate the union—of peace at home and
abroad—of a repeal of the odio income-tax, with a reduction of the
expenditure ; and not to extend the catalogue, it may be said that it
treats all other public questions in a kindred spirit and tone ; whilst
its means of information may he judged from the fact that it was,
among other instances of early intelligence, the first to announce to
the world the visit of the Queen to France—the determination of the
Government to arrest O'Connell and his friends--both which facts
were announced in the Weekly Chronicle for several days before they
were communicated to the Government press. The Weekly Chronicle
also announced recently the intended recal of Earl de Grey—a state-
ment which was contradicted at the time by the whole of the Go-
vernment press, but which the Weekly Chronicle never shrank from,
and which now passes unchallenged as a fact.
Arrangements have been made for bringing down the news con-
tained in the Weekly Chronicle to a much later date than usual, in
some instances anticipating the average of last year lsy a week ; and,
to effect this, every department of the paper has been scrupulously
revised and efficiently re-constructed. For the convenience of our
friends, the three following editions are published ; and, by attending
to these directions, the substitution of any other edition for the one
preferred, and for which the order should be distinctly given, may be
prevented:—
I. An edition for exclusive circulation In the provinces en the Sa-
turday, marked " Country Edition."
'I. An edition for circulation in London on the Saturday, and in the
Gosintry on the Sunday, marked " Town and Country Edition."
3. An edition for exclusive circulation in the metropolis and its en-
♦irons on the Sunday, marked " Town Edition."
Tho price is 6d., for which the Weekly Chronicle may be obtained
of all respectable newsvenders ; and by post, paid in advance, at a
subscription of 26e. per annum, 13s. the half-year, and 6s. 6d. the

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

WOOLNVICII, SATURDAY.

The Government has resolved to adopt the most active
measures to put an end to the traffic in slaves on the African
coast, anti the French Government has also determined ou
the same course. The Penelope, 22, steam-frigate, Captain
W. Jones, and the Prometheus, Lieutenant-Commander W.
M. J. G. Pasco, and two or three other steamers, are about
to be dispatched to the coast of Africa, which they will scour
in those latitudes where this nefarious traffic is carried on.
The smaller steamers will go up the rivers and examine every
inlet and creek where it is possible for any slaver. to be con-
cealed, and the search along the coast will be so nitiiiite that
it will be impossible for any vessel to escape the vigilance of
the squadron. Three French steamers are being equipped
for similar service on the African coast, and there will be the
most cordial co-operation between the French and English
cruizers in every plan resorted to for the effectual suppression
of the slave-trade. Six iron steamers, of 250 tons each, are
being built by contract for the use of Government, as dis-
patch-boats. Messrs. Ditchbourne and Mare, of Blackwall,
are constructing three of them, and the remaining three are
being constructed by Messrs. Robert Napier and Co., of
Glasgow.
The Albion, 90, Captain Lockyer, is now lying at Cork,
with the flag of Rear-Admiral Bowles. The statements that
have been published in some of the papers respecting the
capabilities of this ship are altogether at variance with the
facts as officially reported to the Admiralty. The following
account may be relied on as authentics—Her armament on
the main and lower deck consists of 12 68-pounders and 52
32-pounders, long guns of 56 cwt. each. On her quarter-
deck and forecastle she carries two 68-pounders, and twenty-
four 32-pounders, Bft. 6in., making in all 90 guns actually
mounted. She has five months' provisions on board, and
could easily carry
tons six,
having
water,filledwith
t hu
twelve
ethe vacancy
and necessaries, and ten months' fuel. Her draught of water
is twenty-three feet six inches forward, and twenty-
four seven inches aft. When at sea her speed, stability, and
quickness in working and steering, were fully and most satis-
factorily tested. On a trial by the wind, with as stiff a
io n tsh
s tOirt wood. She has 407 ts
e breeze as her masts could bear, under double-reefed topsails,
top-gallant sails, and courses, with her head within six poiiits
of the wind, she went ten knots, and never heeled more than
four degrees and a half during the whole time. In a mode-
rate breeze, with single-reefed topsails, courses, and top-
gallant-sails, she went 9 6, as close as she could lay, and
stayed without either jib or spanker, and had the fore-sheet
aft within two minutes. The height of her mid-ship lower
deck port is 6ft. Bin. from the water, and she was enabled to
keep some of her lower deck ports open when under double-
reefed topsails. She is considered by her captain and officers
to be the most perfect line-of-battle-ship in the service, and it
is considered doubtful whether even the Vanguard, 80, built
by the same constructor, which has hitherto beaten every
other line-of-battle-ship, would have any chance with the
Albion.

The Victoria and Albert Royal steam-yacht, is ordered
to be got ready early in June for the use of her Majesty.
She has had her boilers removed, and is being fitted with

Bellini's opera of Norma was produced at this theatre
last evening with Mrs. Wood as Norma, Miss Grant as
Adalgisa, and Mr. Wood as Pullin. The Norma of Mrs.
Wood is a fine and impassioned piece of acting—some-
what deficient, perhaps, in dignity, but full of pathos and
energy. She represents Norma as the tender, confiding
girl, who, having devoted her whole soul to Pollio, is
driven to phrenzy by his desertion. Her " Casta diva"
in the first act was beautifully sung, we had fancied that
she would have been tempted to introduce too many
graces and roulades, but her good taste prevented her
from doing this, and she gave this beautiful hymn with
the utmost purity of expression. In the scene with
Adalgisa and Pollio she was very great. Her
manner of giving " His children, too, shall perish,"
was perfectly harrowing. The duet with Adalgisa
in this scene was exquisitely given by Mrs. Wood
and Miss Grant, and deservedly encored. Her acting
was very beautiful, too, when she resigns Pollio
to Adalgisa ; and the trio with which the act concludes
was very finely sung by Mr. and Mrs. Wood and Miss
Grant. In the opening scene of the second act, her
acting was of the very highest order. Driven to mad-
ness by Pollio's desertion, she rushes to her children's
couch to murder them as they sleep ; but when she sees
them the mother's feelings triumph, and, throwing from
her the dagger, she in an agony of tears presses them to
her heart. Then comes the beautiful duet " Deh
Conte," which was given with the most exquisite
taste and expression, by Mrs. Wood and Miss Grant.
In the last scene, after she has denounced herself as the
perjured priestess, and sealed her own condemnation,
nothing could exceed the touching tenderness of her
address to Pollio, and the duet which immediately fol-
lows, was given both by herself and Mr. Wood, with the
most exquisite pathos—then came the impassioned ap-
peal to Oroveso to save her children, in which her looks,
her tones, her gestures were perfectly heartrending.
This last scene was a triumph of art, and the curtain fell
amidst the loudest applause. Miss Grant's Adalgisa
was very excellent. Her fine voice told admirably in the
concerted pieces, and the solo in the first act was given
in a manner that would have done credit to the most
accomplished singer on the stage. We never before
heard Miss Grant to so much advantage. She
has improved immensely within the last twelve months,
and it will be her own fault if she does not, and that
at no distant day, rank among the very first in her pro-
fession. Wood's Pollio was a fine manly piece of act-
ing, and he sang the music of the part with purity, cor-
rectness, and taste. He is decidedly the best Pollio on
the English stage. The choruses are well got up, and
the piece is put upon the stage in the same . complete
and excellent manner in which operas are invariably got
up at this delightful little theatre. At the fall of the
curtain Mr. Wood led on Mrs. Wood, and Weiss, whose
fine bass voice told admirably in Oroveso, led on Miss
Grant. They were all received with the most rapturous
applause. The opera was given out for repetition on
Thursday ; and it was at the same time announced that
this evening General Thomas Thumb, an American
gentleman, only 25 inches high, would make his first
appearance before an English audience.

Of the two principal favourites, The Prior, although not

fifteens and sixteens to one about the latter were taken with
uncommon spirit. Of the others we need not add anything

We have reported the highest offer against the Ugly
Buck, but as no one showed any disposition to support him,
and as an offer to back Rattan against him for 500 even was
not accepted, we do not hesitate to divest him of the pre-
miership ; the quoted odds were taken about the new leader,
but, judging from what came under our notice, not to any
serious amount. Leander was named at 18 to 1, but not
backed, owing no doubt to the numerous inquiries about his
companion, Foig-a-ballagh, on whom we saw at least 2001.

ground to the last. Loadstone came again, and Campunero,
with plenty of friends, advanced from 40 to 33 to 1. In
other respects the betting, although extremely animated for
an hour or two, elicited nothing worthy of observation.

LADY SHOPLIFTERS. -On Saturday afternoon,
about five o'clock, two elegantly-dressed women entered the
shop of Mrs. Rose, jeweller, &c., Farringdon-street, and after
looking at several articles, made a small purchase and de-
parted. Mrs. Rose, however, having had treason to suspect
them, sent her lad to watch them ; and after proceeding down
Farringdon-street, the younger person entered the shop of
Mr. Flemming, pawnbroker. As soon as she had left the shop
the boy entered, when he found that she had pledged a hand-
some gold locket for 21. The lad now followed them, and
gave them into the custody of police-constable Adams, 214,
who conveyed them to the Fleet-street police-station, where
the younger woman was perceived to drop a knife from a
pocket made in her boa. The knife, which was a silver one,
was identified by Mrs. Rose as her property; and the locket
above alluded to was subsequently identified as the property
of a silversmith in Cheapside. The women, who were ele-
gantly attired, gave their address Mrs. Enshaw aid Miss
Wells, No. 8, Park-street, Camden-town, where City Police
constable Wardle 325, accompanied by the above constable,
were sent, and on arriving at their apartments the constables
found clothing of the most costly description, all of which,
together with seven trunks and one carpet bag, were re-
moved in a coach to the Fleet-street police-station, where
the boxes and carpet bag, on being opened, were found to be
literally crammed with silks and satins, &c., chiefly not
made up. In one of the trunks was found a quantity of jew-
ellery, consisting of gold watches, brooches, &c. One of the
watches is stated to be worth 30/. This trunk contained also
25 sovereigns. The whole of the property found is estimated
at between 300/. and 4001.

The nature of the intelligence from Peru, which is
generally known in the City, is of itself almost sufficient to
show that the price of Peruvian stock is kept up by specula-
tion rather than by any substantial ground. The army of
General Vivanco, under the command of General Guards, and
composed of 3,000 men, infantry and cavalry, has been de-
stroyed by the opposing army under Generals Castillo and
Nieto, 300 men wily escaping. The letters state that the
Vivanco Government cannot last ; there is every appearance
of anarchy, and yet the stock still maintains a high quota-
tion in our market. The accounts from Ecuador represent
that Republic as suffering great poverty under the military
despotism of General Flores ; so that, whatever may be the
prospects with respect to New Granada, there seems but a
slight chance of any arrangement being made to settle the
Ecuador portion of the old Colombian debt. Even as far as
the New Granada portion is concerned, the rumour alluded
to yesterday is without official authority, since the Spanish
American committee have heard nothing of the projected
mission of an agent to this country, or of a consent by the
Government to the terms of the bondholders. Whether IM.
Mosquera has anything to communicate remains to be seen.—

FIRE IN THE LONDON.-ROAD.—OR Sunday night,
between eight and nine o'clock, as police constable 156 L we,
proceeding along his beat, his attention was directed to the
oil and colour-warehouse belonging to Mr. Grayling, situate
at 37, London-road, by seeing a dense body of smoke issuing
out of the fanlight over the shop-door. Perceiving that a
fire was raging in the interior of the building, he gave the
necessary alarm, and dispatched a messenger with Worms-
tion of the same to the engine station. In a short time the
engines arrived in rapid succession, and soon extinguished the
flames, but not before the greater portion of the stock in
trade was consumed, and the building extensively damaged.
Captain Strange, of the 13th Light Dragoons,
who escaped from the Military Lunatic Asylum, Fort
Clarence, Chatham, on the evening of the 15th of last
January, has been discovered, in custody, at the town of
Sandbach, in Cheshire, a distance of 160 miles from London.
ROMAN ANTIQUITIES IN AFRICA.—A bust of
Parian marble, in good preservation, and of excellent execu-
tion, as it is said, has recently been dug up at Cherchell, in
Africa, supposed to be that of Ptolemy, son of the second
Juba, and the last King of Mauritania Tingitana, .which is
valuable as being unique. Cherchell is the ancient Ciesarea,
the capital of that kingdom. The bust is the portrait of a
man in the freshness of youth, with the Royal fillet on his
brow ; and has a striking resemblance to the likeness on the
coins of the Ptolemy in question. It is destined for the
Royal Museum.
the party assembled at the seat of Mr. Fergusson,
at Pitfour, in the Highlands of Scotland, intended to have
separated at the commencement of the present month ; but
in consequence of the roads being impassable, arising from
the heavy fill of snow, they were still detained there.
BAPTISM.—The Nottingham Review says :—" On
Sunday an aged female was baptised at Loughborough, in
the open air; the ice on the surface had to be broken before
she could enter the water. She had recently joined the New
Tertoovitut discirtet3."
