Am/any—J. T. Clement, Esq.
At the last Quinquennial Meeting there w as added a bonus to the
Life Policies equal to 25 per cei.t. on the sums paid, and a bonus of
five per cent, to the Sbares in addition to the payment of the annual
interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specifie
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 Xl,OOO on the im-
mediate payment of the premium for £5OO only.
The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of
-£lOO for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five
years by merely paying the interest annually at 5 per cent.; and
should the policy became a claim in the interim, the amount due
will then be deducted

PUBLIC BATHS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Will you have the kindness to raise your
voice on a subject which I am sure must strike every
one with astonishment—it is, the very great want of
swimming baths in the north and north-west parts of
London. The parish of St. Pancras, with a popula-
tion of about 170,000 pers'Ons, is without a single
bath of any description. St. Marylebone, with nearly
230,000 inhabitants, has certainly not more than six
private warm baths. If some person was to erect a
tepid swimming bath somewhere by the corner of the
Hampstead and New-roads, I am certain that th©
monetary returns would very fully repay him for the
outlay. The want of such accommodation is sadly
felt by the gentry and respectable working men in
that neighbourhood.
Trusting that the publicity of these lines may in-
duce some enterprising person to supply this great
deficiency in so populous a place,
I am, Sir, your humble servant,
A LOVER OF CLEANLINESS.

IRON TRADE.—The monthly meeting of the Scot-
tish ironmasters was held here on Wednesday, at which
there was a full attendance, and the utmost harmony
and good feeling prevailed, A code of regulations was
adopted, by which any undue increase in the make will
be prevented ; fair remunerating prices are expected to
be maintained, and the market protected against such
fluctuations as have recently been experienced. The
present light stocks, and renewed demand, would have
warranted an advance, but it was considered more pru-
dent, at this season of the year, when exports usually
fall off, to continue the price of pig iron at 21. 15s. per
ton, for all qualities, until the effects of the recent panic
' had completely subsided, and the cunsumers had an op-
portunity of supplying their immediate wants. While a
moderate price has thus been fixed for the home market,
it was agreed that, in the event of stocks increasing, per-
mission should be given to allow a bonus to foreign mer-
chants, in order that a vent might be found at all
times for any surplus produce, and thus the supply re-
gulated to meet the demand. Upon the whole matters
bore a cheering aspect, and, under the sound and mature
regulations which have been so unanimously adopted,
the future prosperity of this important branch of trade
may be considered in some measure secured.—Glasgow

[ADVERTISEMENT.]---A POOR MAN'S LIFE SAVED
BY HOLLOWAY'S PlLLS.—Jeremiah Laughlin, a porter
about the quays of Dublin, was afflicted for years with
shortness of breath, spittirg of phlegm, night perspira-
tions. and general weakness of body, a want of appetite,
sick head-ache, besides suffering much from the liver.
This man was in the second stage of consumption and
not expected to live three months, when he commenced
the use of Holloway's wonderful Pills, and by their
means alone he is now as strong, as hale, and as well as
ever lie was in his life. Sold (also Holloway's Oint-
ment) at the Establishment of Professor Holloway, 244,

SUMMARY OF NEWS

Mibitt eptitton.

" Who runs may read."

POZZXGN.

Louis Phidppe has issued an ordonnance dated Eu,
Oct. 4, granting a pardon to fifty political prisoners,
mostly belonging to the Republican party.
It appears that time was no truth in the rumour cir-
culated on the Bourse on Saturday, that Messrs. Roths-
child had concluded a contract for the loan of three hun-
dred millions.

The return:3F, the Duke de Glueksberg to Morocco

with the ratification of the treaty concluded with -the
Emperor is officially announced. The Presse affirms
that his Imperial Majesty was quite willing to pAy the
expenses of the war in annuities, which were to cease on
Abel-el Kader being delivered up, when instructions
from Paris arrived, which marred the profitable negoti-
ations, and left France to pay tho expenses of the war.
The journals have accounts from Naples of the 27th
ult., when the two nephews of General Pepe, and other
persons arrested in May last, has just been restored to
liberty.

The Journal du Havre of Saturday mentions the death
of Mr. Gordon, the British Consul at that place.
The Prince de Joinville having expressed a wish that
the squadron of operation against Morocco should be
represented in the escort which is to accompany the
King to England, the Minister of Marine gave orders to
the Pluton steamer to join the flotilla at Treport, and
Captain Bonet left Paris on Saturday morning for Eu, to
take the command of that vessel.

The Indicator of Bordeaux, of the 4th, gives the fol-
lowing account of the state of the vintage :—" The vin-
tage is going on favourably in this quarter. The weather
is good and the grapes are well ripened. In the
country between the Garonne and Dordogne, called
Entre les deux biers, the weather has been very warm,
followed, it is true, by some storms, but the rain not
having been continuous, the grapes have preserved their
succulency, and their quality is excellent."
Letters from Rome state that the Pope will shortly
repair to Castel Gandolfo.- The Archbishop of Cologne,
Baron V. Droste Moellering, intends to remain in the
Holy City some time, having taken a private residence.
The Bishop of Passau has also arrived at Rome.
London, England, 1844-10-08

STRAND THEATRE.

The bills announced for last night a new farce,
under the name of Yankee Land, which belongs rather
to the class known upon this side of the Atlantic by
the comprehensive name of " drama." It is by no
means ill-contrived or ill-written, and it would suc-
ceed for a time by its own merits, if these derived no
additional force from the acting of Mr. Daniel Marble.
The notion that an American comedian, par excel-
knee, must be a caricaturist of his own countrymen,
is happily contradicted by this gentleman, whose per-
formance as Lot Sap Sago last night, convinced every ,
one that he did not depend upon provincialism or
mannerism. He imitates local peculiarities with the
truth of life ; but he expresses also the common feel-
ings and passions of man with equal and much rarer
truth. He might abandon Yankeeism for ever, and
be at once a favourite upon the English stage in the
most touching characters of our native comedy. If
he chooses to remain with us a season or two longer,
he will draw as crowded houses, and receive as much
applause in Tyke, in David, aye, and in Dennis
Bulgruddery, as in all his Yankee characters together.
There were some awkward apologies, and some un-
explained omissions, in the entertainments of last
night. It is to be hoped they will not occur again.
Whether such mistakes occur from sulkiness or acci-
dent, they are as prejudicial to the artists and the
manager, as they are painful to the audience.

BOW-STREET.

A man named 7hornas Shandbrook, who was dressed
in the pirb of a ship-carpenter's labourer, was charged
before ➢lr. Hall with creating a great disturbance in the
strand, and with assaulting the inspector of police, and
one of the officers.

Mr. Inspector Logan stated that he was passing the
Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, last evening,
when he saw the prisoner attempting to force his way
into the house, and one of the waiters was preventing
him from going in. Witness came up and interposed,
When the prisoner struck him on the side of the head and
knocked him down. An officer was called, and, with the
utmost difficulty, the prisoner was got to the station-
house, kicking all the way.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he had lost 21. in the
course of the day, and, to drown his sorrow at this loss,
he had got drunk, and, therefore, he did not know what
he was about. lie promised never to do so again.
Mr. MALL said these assaults on the police must be
punished, end sentenced the prisaner to ten days' im-
prisonment.

MAW' AND POLICIS.

In the Insolvent Court the case of John W. Turner, a
market-gardener, was adjourned for the production of
a❑ account-book, with an intimation on the part of Mr.
Commissioner Pollock that he would pass judgment on
the insolvent for a vexatious defence.

A bench of magistrates assembled yesterday at the
Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green, for tho purpose of
taking the rentals of the several parishes in the county
of Middlesex.

Joseph Charles Paton, a clicker, in the employ of Mr.
Sharman, a bootmaker in Gracechurch-street, was re-
manded from the Mansion-house, charged with obtaining
goods under false pretences in the name of his master.
It was intimated that a charge of bigamy would also be
made against him.
George Murphy, a man about 50 years of age, who
had been employed for many years as porter, by Messrs.
Perrott and Watts, calenderers, Tenter-street, Moor-
fields, was brought before Mr. Alderman Copeland at
Guildhall, charged with robbing his employers. He was
committed for trial.

Mr. Alderman Copeland directed the City Solicitor to
support the Magistrates' orders, which had been appealed
against, in two cases of affiliation.

Just before the closing of the Queen-square police-
court, a labouring-man, named Joseph Cripps, was placed
at the bar, charged with having caused the death of a
child. He was driving a cart slowly in Peter-street;
child who was crossing caught its pinafore in some
baskets standing in the road, and the wheel of the cart
passed over it. As no blame attached to the prisoner he
was discharged. _
. _

At Marylebone John Tanzan, a foreigner, was placed
at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson, charged by Mrs.
Frances Elizabeth Plummer, residing at 46, Berners
street, Oxford- street with having stolen from her person
a reticnle, containing a silver snuf box, a white cambric
handkerchief, &c. The prisoner snatched the reticule
from her arm and ran off with it, but was pursued and
captured. He was fully committed.
At Lambeth-street, Robert Murray, an able seaman
on board the Westminster, American line-of-packet-ship,
was charged with smuggling 251bs. weight of manufac-
tured Cavendish tobacco. He was convicted in a penalty
of 100/., and imprisoned in default of payment.
Thomas Hume, a Scotchman, applied to Mr. Broderip,
at the Thames-office, to request his assistance in reco-
vering 71. 125., wages due to him from Charles Freeman,
the American Giant. The Giant had engaged Hume as
his servant in Edinburgh, had taken him to Paisley and
Dundee, and brought him up to London in the Elbe
packet and discharged him, promising to pity him his
wages next day. The applicant's luggage, as well as
that of his master, was detained, as their passage had
not been paid for. He had since frequently seen Free-
man at Tom Spring's, in Holborn, but could get no
money from him. Mr. Broderip directed an inquiry to
be made for the purpose of ascertaining what could be
done.
London, England, 1844-10-08

Whether this difference of five and a half miles can be realised
by Sir John Rennie's line is yet to be proved, and, if realised, whe.
ther such a difference would be compensated for by the London
and York line having its course through the towns of Hitchin,
Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuxford, Retfard,
Bawtry, and Doncaster, not one of which is approached by Sir John.
Rennie's line, the public will be able to determine.
To the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction
of the London and York Company reply, that while Sir John Ren-
nie and Co. state that their surveys were commenced in October,
1843, and their prospectus published in April last, the project for
a new railway between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbs
in 1836, and in that year carried into Parliament That in 1840 Mr.
Gibbs again brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis-
sioners, and it Is detailed by them in' their report of 1841. That
such scheme was never abandoned by him, but in February of the
present year the details of the London and York Railway, as now,
with modifications adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Beckett
Denison, M.P , who suggested several alterations, and Mr. Francis
Mowatt, the Vice-Chairman, and arrangements were made for per-
fecting the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the'
month of March following, and on the 16th of April the project
was announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of
the" Great Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Sir
John Rennie had appeared ; and the Committee of Direction dis-
tinctly affirm that the course over the first seventy miles from
London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not
suggested to them by any other parties; and they beg further to
observe, it is only now within these few days, that after the Lon-
don and York Company has been before the public for a period of
five months, after its whole capital of five millions has been sub.
scribed, ants its shares has attained a high premium in the market,
that Sir John Rennie and Company have come forward with what
is intended to be a counter-project, and with the misstatements
here disposed of.

All comment upon this course would, in the opinion of the Com.
mittee, be idle.

REALISE A LARGE FORTUNE.

The observations which follow are extracted from a 'Welsh
Paper, and fully demonstrate the accuracy of the foregoing state-
ment :—" I have been in Carnarvonshire, to see the Quarry, and
my opinion is, that there is something extraordinary in it; it
can be made, with a few thousands outlay,
THE MOST EXTENSIVE CONCERN OP THIS SORT
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
The vein of pure slates is ascertained to be no less than 180
yards wide, and at least half a mile in length, without any ob-
struction, and as deep as any parties may feel inclined to go,
wherein there is sufficient quantity of that useful material
TO SUPPLY THE WHOLE WORLD FOR CENTURIES

-
TO COME;
and with good management the profits would—they could not be less
than fromloo to 150 per cent. upon the outlay, after it is put in
proper order. It will employ many hundred men to great
advantage. Another desirable point connected with this concern
is, that the cover of earth on the surface is only two or three yards
deep, whereas most of the quarries are under ten or fifteen yards
cover. The workshops, waggons, and working utensils are in
good repair, as also the road, three miles of which has beea made
at the expense of nearly 2,0001.;
THIS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE PURCHASE.
Another point is worthy of consideration, the work is on the side of
the celebrated Carnarvon Hills, and a sufficient declivity affords to
the water a cheap conveyance to
THE BEAUTIFUL EIGIA LAKE.
-•

These splendid waters are full of fish, and consequently afford lots
of amusement, and the hill prevents the impossibility of any annoy-
ance to the works from water. The distance to a capital
shipping wharf is only seven miles, and but nine to the intended
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD GREAT RAILWAY.
The name of the concern is
THE " CEDRYN QUARRY,"
situate about tea miles from Banger, and the wise distance from
Conway and Llanrwst, in the centre between the tkree towns.

" It is held under
THE RIGHT HON. LORD NEWBOROUGH
for an unexpired terns of twenty.eight years, which can be extended
At any tine.
" Iu conclusion, we can only add tkat tke Quarry ought to pro-
duce a considerable sum, as it is
A SURE FORTUNE FOR ANY SPIRITED PARTY
wise okay be lucky enough to get it."

This unpretending statement of facts will convince even those
inclined to be sceptical, that it 13 an investment free front doubt or
uncertainty.

of themasterotam with these forts. Under
theirersfirecut off the
m
this protection, Commandant liernoux and Captain E.
Bouet headed a column of 600 men for landing. But
everything had been deserted at our approach, and the
landing was effected without resistance. All that re-
mained to be done was to complete the work of destruc-
tion which had been commenced. The result of the day
was the spiking of the guns, and throwing them over
the ramparts, the demolition of the embrasures, the
inundation of the powder-stores, and the taking away
three standards and nine or ten bronze guns as trophies.
I have left entire the vast warehouses of the customs,
which are full of merchandise of all kinds ; we must
otherwise have burned them, and I was afraid that the
fire might reach too rapidly the immense stores of
powder and shells in the casemates of the forts. I then
sent back the troops and the crews. We were masters
of the island and fort ; the town batteries were no longer
to be feared, and I considered our operation as termi-
nated. After our departure the town, being without
defence, was taken by the Kabyles of the interior, who
set fire to it. The sack of this unhappy town is com-
plete—the inhabitants hare fled in all directions. In a

few days there will remain of the-beautiful Souerah,
which Muley-Abderrhaman called his beloved town.
only the walls, riddled with balls and blackened by fire.
The lesson is a severe ene. I will not name any person ;
for to name all who did their duty with courage, intelli-
gence, and devotedness, would be to name everybody. I
will merely call your attention to the families of the men
who were killed and to the future fate of the wounded,
and also to the comfort of all who, at the sole name of
France, have so nobly accepted the hard duty of keeping
garrison in the island of Mogadore."
A postcript to this report, dated the 25th, says
" On the 23d our establishment on the island was
completed, and I sent away to Cadiz a part of the aqua •
dron. In the course of the day a gun was fired from
one of the towers of the town commanding the country,
and the ball having fallen in the midst of us in the port,
we destroyed with shells the houses near the tower. I
then sent Lieutenant Touchard, the chief of my staff,
with 160 men, to fix scaling ladders against the tower.
The detachment scaled the wall without opposition, and
spiked the last gun that could play upon us. From the
height of the tower the town could be seen ; it appeared
deserted and horribly devastated. This operation,
which was not absolutely necessary, has had the advan-
tage of showing the garrison of the island that, with its
own forces and the resources of the local station, it keeps
the town completely at its mercy."

LITERATURE.

PARSONS AIVDTVIDOWS. 3 Vols.
album, London, 1844.
These volumes are from the pen of the author of
"Peter Priggins"—a tale which was very favourably
received by the reading portion of the public, when it
made its appearance from time to time in the pages of
the New Monthly Magazine. Like that amusing
story, the Ivork before us abounds in touches of
genuine humour, occasionally exaggerated, but pro-
ducing laughter even in its broadest extravagance.
The author belongs to the school of the late Theodore
Hcok, and eschewing anything like maudlin senti-
mentality, trusts for effects to the promptings of a
healthy, cordial nature. His clergymen are pour-
trayed with considerable vigour and truth of de-
lineation, and though he is less successful in his
female sketches, yet one or two of his widows will
amuse by the skilful and graphic manner in which
their peculiarities are hit off. We have been pleased
with the naivete of the subjoined remark, which
occurs in one of the introductory chapters :
" Parsons are proverbially great populators of their
country. The preventive check has not yet found its
way into the parsonages of Great Britain ; and in
spite of all the political economists that ever lived, I
trust the day may be very far distant that shall see
such an unnatural engine introduced into the prolific
walls of our manses."

IHE BOWYER GALLERY.
HEPTAPR2EMION.

Who has not heard of the celebrated Bowyer col-
lection of pictures—a collection which it was the
labour of a life to form, and in the formation of
which a princely fortune was expended? We were
highly delighted yesterday by viewing this admirable
collection at the splendid gallery of Mrs. Parkes,
22, Golden-square, where they will remain on view
until their final disposal by drawing, after the Art
Union plan, on the 30th of this month. As every
seventh ticket is a prize, the somewhat fanciful name
of " Heptaprwmion" has been given to the scheme.
•In the meantime we would advise all lovers of art to
embrace the opportunity of inspecting the collec-
tion before it is finally broken up. Among the
works are many pictures of a high historical in-
terest—we may mention the Coronation of George
IV., the Trial of Queen Caroline, the House of
Commons receiving a Message, in all of which
every figure is a portrait as examples. There is also
a magnificent picture by Charles Landseer—" The
Death of Douglas at the battle of Langsyde"—which
is valued at 500 guineas ; and several exquisite speci-
mens from the easels of Turner, Stanfield, Hayter,
Stephanoff, Collins, Leslie, and almost all the modern
artists of eminence. The collection of engravings is
also most beautiful, and according to the Art Union
plan, every holder of a ticket is entitled to an engrav-
ing. The collection is open gratis to the public. The
rooms have every day been crowded to excess.

CLERKEN WELL.

Anne Rhodes was brought up for final examina-
tion, charged with stealing an immense quantity of
wearing apparel, house linen, tea, sugar, spirits,
books, and almost every other portable article ofa well-
furnished house, being the property of her master,
Mr. Cross, residing in York-plats, Stoke N3wington.
James Gibson was charged with receiving the same,
well knowing it to have been stolen.

It appeared from the evidence, which was very
voluminous, that the female prisoner, a demure-look-
ing person, advanced in years, has been in the employ-
ment of Mr. Cross during the last five years, and has,
from the first day of her servititle, carried on a whole-
sale system of plunder, but so artfully and secretly
effected, that up to this time she was believed to be
" a faithful servant." The male prisoner was in the
same service about two years ago, and since then it
appears that Rhodes. has kept up a constant com-
munication with him. He lodged in Norfolk-street,
Islington, and thither the plunder was conveyed ; in
fact, it clearly appeared that she was his paramour, for
with the landlady of the house she went by the name
of Mrs. Gibson, and whenever her employers
were out of town, she came there laden with plunder,
and they passed the night in the same apartment.
At length Maria Woodgate, her fellow-servant, who
had been induced to convey some tea, sugar, brandy,
&c., in hampers to the prisoner's lodgings, informed
her mistress of the tact. The female prisoner was
forthwith given into custody, and made a full con-
fession of her guilt. She declared she would stab
herself, and soon after became so ill that she lay for
several days in the workhouse in a very precarious
condition. At Gibson's lodgings a very large quan-
tity of the stolen property was found, stowed into
every hole and corner capable of containing it ; there
were bottles, jars, and even pails filled with tea,
sugar, and spirits of every description.
Mr. COMBE decided on committing the prisoners
for trial, and depositions were taken down ac-
cordingly.

more distinct explanation from the English Govern-
ment.

The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
papers :—The National says—
" M. Cormenin is on the point of going to Spain. The
Government under the Regency of Espartero, consulted
the Hon. Deputy on the formation of the Council of
State ; and as the Cortes, who are to meet on the 10th
of next month, will have to deliberate on this question,
M. Cormenin will probably be requested to give his ad-
vice upon it to the Ministry, and assist in drawing up
the proposed law."

The Sentinelle of Toulon, of Friday, says—
" Ministerial orders have been received for putting our
larger steam-ships upon a war footing, and for inspecting
with care the batteries on our shores; but as to the ar-
maments of the ships in disponability and commission,
which have been lately talked of, no arrangements have
been made tending to confirm them. It is not certain
that the Prince de Joinville will come to Toulon, as an-
nounced several days ago: because, according to recent
dispatches from the Minister of Marine, the Prince's
squadron is to be repaired at Cadiz, where his Royal
Highness will wait the further instructions of the Go-
tnent. The transport Aube is appointed to carry out the
requisite stores for refitting his squadron."
A letter from the camp of General LAMORICIERE
states that 25,000 horse of the son of ABDERRAHMANI
after having been so severely beaten by the French
at Isly, were in their disordered retreat attacked by
the Kabyles and Berberes, and horribly cut up.
The Espectador of Madrid, which has made its re-
appearance, states that General NARVAEZ has pur-
chased, for 3,000,000 rials, the ancient hotel of the
Marquis de TRANSTAMARR. We read in the Toulon-
nais of the sth :

'• The Asmodee steam-frigate, which has just arrived
here, has brought an Aide-de-camp of the Prince de
Joinville, and urgent dispatches for the Government.
An estafette was immediately sent off to Paris. It ap-
pears certain that the Prince will wait at Cadiz for the
reply of these dispatches, and in this case his Royal
Highness cannot arrive at Toulon before the end of the
month. We are informed that the squadron which was
on the point of returning to France is to remain until
further orders, part at Cadiz, and the other part on the
coast of Morocco. The attack upon the island of Moga-
dore by the Moors appears to have decided the Prince
on accepting new measures."
