BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one-half if the first
seven years'. premium is required, the other half being payable at
at the convenience of the assured; thus allowing a Policy to be
continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be
dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured,
seven years hence, when loss •of health may prevent him from
effecting a new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium
applicable to u age seven years younger. The Half-premium plan
of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons
to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the
first seven years, at Si. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or-
dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay-
ment ky the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one-
half of the 101., and interest for the retained half ; and, if death
should occur In the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the
51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year
of 51.; for the second, of 101. ; and so on till the end of the
seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either
be repaid, er retained at Si. per• cent. interest until death, when the
35/. 'would be sublractedfrom the 5001. then payable by the Company.

Another Bonus will be declared in the present year.

RESTRICTIONS ON FACTORY
LABOUR. •
•
.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. .
Sir,—Until the dentanalOr factory goods shall exceed
the supply, the Ten Hours' Bill is based on a principle of
sound policy as well as of .humanity.
It will divide profits among a, larger number of manu-
facturers.than would be the case with a Twelve Hours'
Bill, or no Bill at all.

More manufacturers•will be benefited at a small and
equitable sacrifice imposed upon each, and any check put
upon the leviathan profits of a few, as such, will be a boon
conferred on many.
The'. same principle applies to labour. Ten hours'
labour may be followed by a proportionate sacrifice in
wages. But then every farthing so sacrificed will be di-
vided, in additional factories, among an additional num-
ber of work-people, who otherwise might and would ob-
tain no employment at all. Nor would the sacrifice on
the part of those who lose remuneration for two hours'
labour be all sacrifice. It affords to each and all the
boon of improved health, more natural rest, time to
attend to relative duties, and, above all, to spiritual im-
provement, without which constant work and high wages
are but sad preparatives to future and eternal misery.
Let the Ten Hours' Bill be enacted to be in force until
the whole factory power of Great Britain is inadequate
to meet the home and foreign demand. We may ven-
ture to trust the Cabinet with discretionary power to
suspend its operation whenever such a contingency as
this shall arise. Does not the Government at this mo-
ment exercise a similar discretionary power over its own
workshops, our dockyards? Do not the Ministers regu-
late in dockyards the hours of labour, limiting not only
the hours of the day, but the number of. the days in the
week when work is slack, and do they not do this with
a view, by the equitable distribution of work and wages,
to keep as much as possible the'staff of workmen unim-
paired in numbers and in practice? Policy and hu-
manity dictate this course, and, as it is found to work
well in our national establishments, why should it not,
especially when trade is limited, work with equal ad-
vantage in our cotton and other factories?
I am, Sir, yours,

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
ACTUARY—J. T. Clement, Esq.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the
life policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5
per cent. to the shares, in addition to the payment of the annual
interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific
sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has
been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-
half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five
years, thus enabling a person to assure his life for £l,OOO on the im-
mediate payment of the premium for '£soo only.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
£lOO for the whole life, one-half of which may remain l'or five
years by merely paying the interest annually at 5 per cent.; and
should the policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due
will then be deducted.

For short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and for

The Company insures houses, furniture, stock in trade, farming
stock, and every description of personal property against loss or
damage by fire.
'Die Directors begs to remind their friends, whose premiums
becorre due at Lady-day. that no extra charge is made at this office
for the transfer of policies, and that they will be rated on terms
peculiarly favourable to parties Insuring.
Insurances may be effected for any period of time ; if for seven
years, the premium and duty will only be Tasterd tor six.

The evidence of one Sarah Bird, aged 17, who was for-
merly in the plaintiff's service, and by which the case was
sought to be made.out, was, that while she was in service
with the plaintiff's family defendant was on familiar visiting
terms, and that she had on many occasions been sent out on'
trifling errands when the husband was out and the defendant
there, or to bed when the plaintiff had gone to bed, so that Mrs.
Hunt and Hicklin would be left alone. On Sunday, the
16th of July last, her master and mistress had dined, when
Mrs. Hunt went up stairs to dress for church, while her
husband went to lie down, saying he was to be called at
three, as he wished to go to Foleshill, a distance of a few
miles from Bedworth. Mrs. Hunt went to church, and the
plaintiff Isosts 'out at. half-past- three, on foot, for- Ignie.hill
The mother of the girl, Bird, was in the house at the time,
and remained there until Mrs. Huut came from church.
After tea Hicklin came in and asked for Hunt, and was
told he had gene to Foleshill. He called for a glass
of ale and the newspaper. Witness's mother put
on her bonnet to go a little way into the town,
when her mistress sent her away, saying she might go with
her mother, Mrs. Hunt showing them out the back way,
and going a little way with them, and then returning,
nobody being left in the house but her and the defendant.
The witness quitted her mother, going to the house of an
acquaintance, but was fetched away by her mother to her
mistress's, where she found things in confusion, her master
and mistress there, and a constable named Smith. Mrs.
Hunt was crying, and there lay on the parlour floor a piece
of board, broken out of the partition which divided the
kitchen and parlour. Mrs. Hunt soon after went away to
Foleshill, to a house kept by the father of the witness, and
went to lay down on the bed. The defendant came in in
half an hour, and went up stairs to her. On seeing her
he said, "Why the devil do you lie there, Mawnsey ?"
and pulled her up by the hand. She was crying, and he
put his arm round her neck and wiped her eyes, and said
" Never mind, worse jobs than this happened, and we shall
get over it."
In cross-examination she said she had been sent to bed
sometimes when other persons besides Hicklin were there.
Mr. and Mrs. Hunt seemed to live happy together. Never
heard him beat her. They differed about once a week, a few
words or so.

THE TOAD AND THE ELEPHANT.
A 'road and Elephant (so we've heard say)
Were seen at fearful odds the ether day.
The Toad, they say. began " the dread dispute,"
And foolishly attack'd the giant brute.
It swell's' with rage, and spat its poison, too,
And popp'd about as Toads are wont to do
The passive Elephant remain'd quite calm,
And laugh'd at such attempts to do him harm,'
Till, all at once, the warfare ceas'd to wage-
7he spiteful ead had burst itself with rage.
Now /Esop would have thought, that after thi,,
Its simple moral would not be amiss.
And we would close this fabulous narration
By some' hing in the shape of application
The " Elephant" is that huge house of trade
Where the fam'd name of MOSES is display'd.
And that, of course, which fills the Toad's position,
Is what the reader guesse s—" Competition."
Like the huge Elephant, our giant Mart
Smiles that the " Toad" should act so vain a part.
The house of MOSES will unharm'd crape,
From " Competition" in its fiercest' shape.
Which (hearing out t e story of the T0...d,)
Will "swell" with " envious rage"—and then —" explode.'

Another witness who was called, upon being questioned
whether the plaintiff had not seen his wife since this occur-
rence frequently, gave several very evasive replies.
Joseph Kelly, of Bedworth, a grocer, deposed to a conver-
sation he had with the defendant, in which he confessed to
the witness that an improper intimacy had existed between
him (Hicklin) and Mrs. Hunt.
Mr. Whitehurst said it was evident no conjugal happiness
had been destroyed, and as to a claim for the loss of the
valuable society of such a wife, what would it amount to ?
The Jury thought 50/., andgave it.

Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. W. J. Alexander appeared
as counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Godson and Mr. F. V.

The Committee take this opportunity of informing those parties
who have not received letters of appropriation or replies, that they
have been unable to grant The Shares asked, and in consequence of
the very great number of applications, it has been impossible to ad-

THE SUN is Published EVERY MORNING at RIVE O'CLOCK, in Time for the EARLY TRAINS and TOWN DELIVERY ; a SECOND EDITION (Evening Sun) is Published in Time for the. AFTERNOON TRAIT S

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE.

This was an actionfor a breach of promise of marriage, to
which the defendant pleaded, in the first place, that he never
did promise to marry the plaintiff; and secondly, that she was
not 9f sober or temperate habits, but was accustomed to get
drunk with wine and spirituous liquors.
The unusual nature of the defence in this case invested it
with a good deal of interest. The parties on the record were
neither of them in the heyday of youth, both of them having
turned the goal of 40, that sober, unsentimental, practical
stage in the race of life, when the agreeable begins to be re-
garded as of secondary importance to the useful. The plain-
tiff, Miss Elizabeth Harbert, is the daughter of a respectable
farmer, who formerly resided at Oddinton, but who died so
long ago as 1823, leaving a widow with eight daughters and
one son, all of whom were respectably brought up by their
mother. About fourteen years ago the plaintiff wont to live
with her two bachelor uncles, who were farmers at Broadwell,
as housekeeper, and continued with them until May last,
when her uncles gave up the Broadwell farm, and went
to live with the plaintiff's mother at Oddinton. The
defendant, Mr. Edginton, was a tenant of Lord Leigh,
occupying a farm of some 300 or 400 acres, in the same
neighbourhood. In April last year he took a farm called
Frognaore, which brought him nearer to Broadwell, and on
the 2d of that month he asked one of the plaintiff's uncles
whether he was willing to part with his housekeeper, as he
intended to make her his wife, if the family and the lady had
no objection to the match. After this he was received as the
intended husband of the plaintiff, and visited the house two
or three times a-week till Thursday, the Bth of June, when he
fixed the day of marriage for that day week, and prepara-
tions were made for the ceremony. On the Sunday follow-
ing he brought with him a number of wedding rings, but—
ominous mischance I—not one of them happened to fit the
finger of his bride elect. "From that day the course of the
lady's affections ran any. thing but smooth. On the next
Tuesday the defendant had cooled wonderfully : his blood,
which had previously been up to " marriage heat," was down
at " temperate ;" and he requested that the marriage might
be put off till the beginning of the next week, as he was not
very well. He did not appear to be unwell, but as a man,
generally speaking, neither takes a wife nor eats blackberries
on compulsion, Mr. Edginton had his own way, and took
his leave. Nothing more was heard of him till the 24th of
June, when the plaintiff received a letter from him to the fol-
lowing effect :
" Dear Madam,—l doubt not but that you consider it
strange that I have not been to Oddinton lately. I trust the
inclosed copy of a letter will be sufficient to convince you that
lamin a very unsettled state of mind. Perhaps you will be
able to understand it, and know from whence it came.
" 1 am, Madam, yours respectfully,
" W. EDGINTON."

sion he said, " If she wants 2001. or 300!., I suppose she must
have it." It appeared that the defendant had communicated
to several persons, as a fact, that the plaintiff was of intem-
perate habits, and on the 21st of Sept. the match was posi-
tively broken off on his part.
To rebut the charge contained in the defendant's plea, a
very great number of witnesses were examined,' consisting
not only of her relative's, but several servants who had lived
with her uncles during her residence with them, some neigh-
bours, and her medical attendant. The general effect of
their evidence was, that she was extremely temperate, but
it seemed that she was subject-to bilious: attacks, which occa-
sionally caused sickness ; to severe toothe-ache, for which
she smoked tobacco from a pipe; and to an affection of the
throat, for which she was directed to take frequent draughts
of tincture, of iodine in a wine-glass of cold water, which
looked very like sherry and water. On the other hand, se-
veral servants, who had also lived with her-uncles during her
residence there, deposed that she was frequently sick from
intoxication ' • that she drank two or three- glasses of brandy
a day, which she directed them to procure, but not to let her
uncles see anything of it ; that she was in the habit of smoking
cigars, and that she kept a bottle of spirits in her bed-room.
That part of the story which related' to the brandy derived
some confirmation from the landlord of the King's Arms at
Stow, who supplied the family at Broadwell with a good deal
of brandy from 1837 to 1842, although the favourite beverage
of the plaintiff's uncles was gin.
Mr. Baron PARKE, in summing up, told the jury that they
would have no difficulty in finding a verdict for the plaintiff
upon the first issue. There could be ne doubt that the de-
fendant had promised.to marry her, but the main question
in the cause was, whether the second plea of the defendant
fiad been made out to their satidaction: If they Shought it
proved that the plaintiff had been guilty or the intemperate
habits ascribed to her by the defendant's witnesses, and that
the defendant had- brokenUff the.niatch, not upon the autho-
rity of an anonymous letter, but upon obtaining sufficient
evidence of the fact of the plaintiff's intemperance, the ver-
dict upon the second issue must be found for him. If,. how,
ever, they were of opinion that the second point in that plea
was not made out, still, if they. considered that the former
part of the plea was proved, that circumstance ought to in-
fluence them in considering the damages which ought to be
given ; because, a woman who could so far forget herself was
not entitled to ask for heavy damages.
The jury consulted for some time, and then found a ver-
dict for the plaintiff—Damages, 200/.

The inclosed letter, which was dated the 19th of June, and
was directed to " Mr. W. Edgiuton, Frogmore Farm, More-
ton in-the-Marsh, Gloucestershire," was as follows :
" Sir,—As a friend and well-wisher, I have taken the
liberty of writing to you on a most delicate and important
subject. I have been informed that you are going to enter
into wedlock with a lady resident at Broadwell. 1 feel sorry
to injure the character of a female of respectable family, but
I feel myself in duty bend, as an old friend, to apprise you
that there ig strong reason to believe she is addicted to a
praaiee disgraceful to a woman, and that would he ruinous
to her husband. I shall say nothing more, but believe me to
be your well-wisher. "ANONYMOUS."
After receiving this letter from the defendant, Miss Har-
bert, accompanied by her sister, went over to Mr. Edgunton,
when he said that he did not believe the anonymous letter,
but thought it desirable that the marriage should be put off
for a few days. He told her " not to fret about it," and said
.he was willing to carry on the correspondence as if nothing
had occurred, but nothing more was heard from him about
the marriage, and upon being pressed upon the su'Jject, ,he
saidi•" I suppose you must, action me." Upon another occa-

r lkoeutly, Chet Gone should notaelest the
filrnent of the financial obligations which she has my
slimed towards the Three Powers, in virtue of the
`treaties of the 7th of 2glaST, .1832, and of the ,Lail PS
September, 1843. The honour of the Greek nation
demands the punctual fulfilment of the obligations en.;
tered into with the Three Powers, and of the duties
assumed by Greece on her admission into the list of
independent States. The Three Powers are satisfied.
that this duty Will be fulfilled in a planner to pre-
vent every attack on the maintenance of peace and
order. The plenipotentiaries have determined to in-
troduce this declaration into the present protocol,
which Lord Aberdeen is commissioned to connupl;
cote to the Bavarian Court, in reply to the overtures
of Prince lirallerstein."

GERMAN RAILROADS.
The. German Railroads open to the public at the
commencement of the present year compried a length
of 255 German or about 1,147 English miles: The
railroads themselves are 23 in number, of which four
are as 'yet wholly situated within the Austrian, teti
within the Prussian, and two within the Bavarian
territory. During the year 1843, the individuals who
travelled by these railroads amounted in number to
8,088,067, a number equal to one-fifth of the entire
population of Germany.
The quantity of merchandise transported in 1843
calculated at 12,000,000 cwt. The gross receipts foil
travellers and goods during the same time were
921,9461. (11,063,353 florins); and the net receipts,
on an average are said to pay four per cent. to the
shareholders. The following table will show the,
number of persons travelling on each railroad spluring
the month of December, and during,the whole of the
year 1843:

The first in the above list, the Linz and Budwelb
line, is remarkable as having been the first railroad
in Europe constructed for the conveyance of pas:.
sengers. It connects the interior of Bohemia with
the Danube, and, being carried across the mountain,
is seldom used during the winter months, when the
mountains are covered with snow. This accounts for
there having been no passengers during December.
The trains are drawn by horses, the railroad is of a
very inferior construction, is in a very neglected
state, and -will fall into comparative disuse when the
railroad from Vienna to Prague, now in construction,
has been completed.
The works on a new Hanoverian railroad—from
Harburg to Luneburg—commenced on the 19th inst.,
on. which day the first stroke of the spade was struck
by the Government 'Counsellor Von Hoppenstedt, and
the event celebrated with great festivity.
