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-

TO LADIES.—The high and universal celebrity
which Rowlands Kalydor continues to maintain, as an active
yet mild and soothing extirpator of all impurities of the
skin, is, during the period of Spring, most pleasingly evinced.
This preparation, eminently balsamic, restorative, and invi-
gorating, is equally celebrated for safety in application, as for
unfailing efficacy in removing all impurities and discoloura.
tion; and imparting a healthy freshness and transparency
to the Skin and Complexion. 'RA universally great demand
excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give
the title of " Genuine" Kalydor to compounds of their own
manufacture, of the most deleterious character, containing
mineral astringents utterly ruinoi!s•to the Complexion, and,
by their repellant action endangdring health. It is, there-
fore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Row-
land's Kalydor" are on the wrapper.-411 others are fraudu-

SIGur,AR COINCIDFNCE.—An inquest was held on
Monday, the 15th inst., before G. Ilinehcliffe, Esq., coroner,
at the house of Mr. Thomas Sower, Sun Inn, Brock-moor,
on the body of Jane Webb, aged sit years, who was found
drowned in the canal on Friday last, near Mr. Firmstone's
works, at the Ley Colliery. It appears she was sent with her
sister's breakfast to the pit, about half-past eight in the
morning, and on her return slipped into the water. Nothing
more was heard of her until the afternoon, when they began
to drag the canal for the body, and were about giving it up,
when a young woman, who was standing by, stated that if
they would get a loaf of bread, and put some quicksilver into
it, it would float to the body, if it was in the water; the
young woman insisting she had seen it tried and proved be-
fore, the loaf and quicksilver were procured, and thrown into
the water. Much to the astonishment of all, the loaf floated
to wcertain spot, turned round several times, and remained.
What. is more extraordinary, beneath the spot occupied by
the loaf, the body of the child was found : a man of the
name of Westwood dragged to the place where the loqf be
came stationary, and wrA

MANSION-HOUSE.

THE • WILL FORGERIES.—Mr. Cope, the Governor of
her Majesty's gaol of Newgate, waited upon the Lora
Mayor, in consequence of his Lordship's desire to oom-
manicate with him on the subject of a report which had
become very prevalent, to the effect that all the prisoners
who had been tried with Barber repeaVily declared
that delinquent to be innocent of the knowledge that, in
the proceedings adopted for getting the sums of money,
sworn to as bequeathed to the different legatees, out of
the hands of the Commissioners fur the Reduction of the
National Debt, there bad been any unfair, play whatever
-resorted-to. _ _ •

Alderman Humpbevy was sitting with the Lord Mayor
when Mr. Cope attended.
The LORD MAYOR said it appeared from what had
been represented in some publications, that there were
several ridiculous statements afloat relative to the
charges upon which Barber had been convicted, reflect-
ing upon the Magistrate who presided at the examina-
tions, as well as upon those who conducted the prosecu-
tions against the persons accused of the offences in which
that individual had participated. It had been said that
he (the Lord Mayor) had performed the characters of
judge and jury on the occasion he alluded to, and the
most positive assertions had been made that Mr. Barber
was declared, by those with whom he was said to have
conspired, to be wholly innocent of the knowledge, or.
even of the suspicion, that the wills in which he had been
professionally engaged by Fletcher and. others, Were not
Ow fide instruments. There were, it would seem,
many who were influenced by the reiterated assurances
of Barber, that he merely acted in his professional capa-
city, and by the apparently candid appeals which he made
to the public, by referring to the whole tenor of his previous
Conduct, to suppose that he was a martyr. Thatimpression
might have been easily communicated to those who did
not take the trouble to read the evidence ' • but nothing
could be more fallacious in the minds of all who had
observed the proceedings ; and he would not have taken
the slightest notice of the matter, if it were not that
people who were endeavouring to excite sympathy in
favour of Barber continued to assert that those who were
charged as his accomplices most peremptorily declared
him to be an innocent man. llis Lordship wished to
know from Mr. Cope, whether he had heard anything
relating to the subject before the prisoner had been re-
moved from Newgate.
Alderman HU3IPIIERY —I think it necessary to inform
your Lordship that I was in the gaol of Newgate yes-
terday, and, having heard that such reports as you have
alluded to were in circulation, I made very particular
inquiries upon the subject upon the spot. I have learned
that the principal persons concerned with Barber had
told a a very different story to Mr. Cope and the Chaplain
of the prison.
Mr. COPE said—After the conviction of the prisoners,
Barber expressed great dissatisfaction at the verdict,
•and expressed an anxious desire to see and communicate
with the Sheriffs. I asked him for what purpose, being
willing to do anything consistently with my duty. He
replied, I am desirous that the Sheriffs should be pre-
sent while I read a declaration which I have drawn up,
and which I want Fletcher, Saunders, Mrs. Saunders, and
Mrs. Dorey to sign. It is to the effect that they all
declare my innocence as regards these transactions, and
that they believe I acted merely as a professional man.
I said that I did not believe the Sheriffs would consent
to be present under such circumstances, and that it
was also my opinion that the Magistrates Would
object to agree to such a proposition ; and I sug-
gested to him the propriety of ascertaining whether
the other prisoners would be willing to sign such a
declaration. Mr. Barber agreed to this suggestion,
and Mr. Davies, the ordinary, and I accordingly asked
each of the parties the necessary question. Mrs. Dorey,
when I asked her whether she was willing to sign a
declaration, that she kelieved Mr. Barber to have no
guilty knowledge of the transactions of which he was
convicted, replied " Certainly not, for Mr. Barber knew
all about it. I cannot sign any thing of the kind." I
also put the same question to Fetcher, and he also de-
clined to sign any declaration of the kind, as Barber
was well acquainted with every thing about this trans-
action. To the chaplain, who communicated with them,
they spoke in similar terms, assuring him that they
could not make any such declaration, as Mr. Barber
knew every thing about the matter. 'When I went to
Saunders and his wife, and asked them whether they
would have any objection to sign an instrument of the
kind, they replied that they had not. Mrs. Saunders
stated, that she had been only concerned in one case,
and that she had only seen Mr. Barber, and that in his
professional capacity, for a moment in the business ;
'and of course she could have no objection.

Alderman IRrstpuErty—Had tie prisoners any op-
portunity of communicating with each other ? Mr.
Cope—Not the least opportunity of communicating with
each other in the prison. They might have spoken to-
gether in the dock of the Court. There was no possi-
bility of preventing that.
Alderman HUMPHERY—Mr. Cope has exactly stated
what I heard yesterday. I will answer for the correct-
ness of his report.
The LORD MAYOR—It is, in my opinion, necessary
to remove wholly the impression that Barber, who was
shrewd and clever enough to take in all the rest, was
himself the dupe of any of them. I should not, how-
ever, consider myself bound to take notice of the falla-
cious reports if I had not heard that they were most per-
tinaciously made, and had obtained credence to a certain
extent, for it has been added that injustice has been
done to Barber by the alleged refusal to allow the de-
claration of his innocence to be made by his fellow-
prisoners.
Alderman TIUMPHERY said, that what had been just
stated would most satisfactorily set the matter at rest.
lie had felt very great astonishment at the prevalence
of the report that Barber was innocent, but he confessed
that that astonishment was much increased upon hear-
ing a brother Alderman positively declare that he was
convinced of the innocence of Barber.
The Loan MAYOR—Upon what did he found that
belief ? _ _

Alderman lIIIMPHERT—I believe, upon the mere
statements which Barber made to him in prison.
The LORD MAYOR—It is not to be won iered at, then,
that a report of such a nature should find people ready
to support it, when a City Magistrate actually gives it
currency. _ _

CLERKEN WELL.
Wetherall, a poulterer, in Newgate-market,
was ehargad with the following assault upon Anne
Morgan, the wife of a mechanic, living in Princes-street,
Soho.

The complainant, who seemed to be in a very weakly
condition, deposed that, at ten o'clock on the previous
night, she was returning home, with her infant in her
arms. At the corner of Russell-square she stopped a
moment, when the prisoner, who was talking to a female
on the pavement, knocked her down, and kicked her. A
police-constable came up. She did not wish to prosecute.
Sergeant Dodd, 9 E, said an attempt had been made
to buy off the complainant, who was therefore reluctant
to give her evidence. She had been severely injured.
Police-constable 90 E deposed, that hearing female
cries, he ran to the corner of liussell-square, where a
crowd of five or six persons had assembled. The woman
was standing by the railings, and the prisoner was sund-
ing before her in a menacing attitude.
Sergeant Dodd stated that the woman was Convfyed
to a surgeon's house in Marchmont-street, who recom-
mended her to be taken at once to the hospital. A
stretcher was sent for to the station-house in order to
convey her to the hospital. The stretcher and two
policemen were sent to the surgeon's, but the woman
refused to leave her little child, and she was conveyed
home in a cabriolet.

Prisoner—l was talking to a girl in Russell-squaro,
when the woman came up and used a disgusting ex-
pression.

Mr. GREENWOOD (to the prisoner)—Did you use any
bad language towards this man ? Complainant—l never
said a word to him, your Worship.
Sergeant Dodd said that when the prisoner came to
the station-house he stated that the complainant had
used a filthy expression. (The sergeant then wrote the
word down on a slip of paper, and handed it to the bench.)
The prisoner called as a witness Caroline Strickland,
the person to whom he bad been talking. She deposed
that she was a servant out of place, and had been talk-
ing to the prisoner, when the woman came up and used
a bad expression. At the request of the Magistrate she
wrote the word on a slip of paper, and handed it to him.
Mr. GREENWOOD remarked that the expression which
the prisoner said she had used, and that which the wit-
ness said the used, were as different as black and white.
lie did not believe the woman used any indecent ex-
pression. He fined the prisoner IL los., or a fortnight's
imprisonment.—The fine was paid at once.
John Barnes was charged with robbing his father, and
a lodging-house keeper with whom he resided, was com-
mitted for trial.

The prisoner surrendered himself to the officer at the
Featherstone-street police-station, and acknowledged
the commission of the robberies, to which he said dis-
tress had driven him. He said he was anxious to be
sent to prison, having been from time to time an inmate
of different workhouses, and that he had been recently
starving in the streets.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS.
Ilv the late arrivals from the Mauritius, the most painful
intelligence has been received relative to a dreadful gale of
wind that visited that island in the month of January 14,4,
during which, we regret to say, Ail Indianian named the
Hugh Mantle, 538 tot 4 burden, and two emigrant ships and ,
two ether vessels, were completely wrecked. Among the
bitter was the ship Amity, belongng to Liverpool, a very fine
vessel, 600 tons burden, with 180 emigrants on board, begides
the crew. The
ship, which was quite a new one, sailed from
Liverpool In the early part of June last, for Bombay, and
made a splendid passage. From Bombay she proceeded to
the Mauritius, with emigrants for the island, which Place she
reached in safety in the latter part of December, and remained
in the harbour, in company with seven other
vessels,letters until
the hurricane broke forth. It appears, from the
received, that the storm commenced cr, ,l -. adorning
iminedlateTy the master,
of the 3d of January, 4/14 v ~
observed'it Cantaikt Wrighteion,approaching, he applied to

the Pert-office to obtain a pilot, in order to run the ship into
the inner harbour, where she would be better sheltered; but
none could be had, they having been engaged for the other
vessels. .As the day advanced the wind increased greatly,
with a heavy rolling sea, and by nine o'clock there was a
violent storm. The Amity had both anchors out, with 140
fathoms of cable, in order that. she might ride easily, but the
violence of the sea worked her about in a most fearful man-
ner; and frequently, during the night, the waves rushed Along
the decks, sweeping everything before them. At 11 o'clock
a large ship, which lay at the Amity's stern, commenced
firing minute guns and discharging rockets and blue lights
for assistance. One of the vessels that left Liverpool at the
same time as the Amity did, unable to bear up against the
storm, broke away from her anchors, and was hurled among
the rocks. Two other ships shared the same fate. They
were driven from theii anchors and were carried with terrific
force on shore; and unfortunately, these were also laden with
emigrants, who had been shipped at Calcutta for the Islands.
The Amity weathered the gale until S o'clock on the morn-
ing of the 4th, when her cables were snapped by tleos'force of
a tremendous sea, and in an instant, in sight of thousantjs of
persons, crowded along the coast, she was thrown upon the
reef of rocks netr the inner harbour, where every one on
board would inevitably have perished but for the judgment
and courageous conduct of the commander, Captain Wright-
son. Having advised-the emigrants to remain quiet, and to
act under his directions, he ordered the masts to be cut away,
which being immediately executed by the crew, had the
effect of lightening the vessel, and the succeeding waves threw
her 'on to a part of the rocks where. the breakers were
the least violent. The storm still continuing, it
was found impossible for some time to form a
communication with the shore, but on the first favourable
opportunity presenting itself, Captain Wrightson made an
attempt to save the lives of the passengers and his men.
After some difficulty he managed to send a log line ashore,
and, by the aid of a few circular buoys, which he had
brought from Liverpool, he succeeded in having every man,
woman, and child dragged from off the wreck safe to shore,
though in a deplorable state of exhaustion. The llugh Mat-
thie, Capt. Sparkes, was wrecked near the same spot. She
was lying at anchor near the Bell Buoy, in the outer harbour,
with a pilot on board, wl:en the fury of the storm forced her
from her cables. An attempt was made to run her into the
inner harbour ; but the running tide carried the ship
with great force on the rocks. Guns were fired for as-
sistance, but it was beyond all human power for the inhabi •
tants to render any help at the time. In this dreadful
state, with the ship full of water, part of her bottom being
beaten in by the rocks, did they remain for 10 hours; but,
at last, every soul (excepting one man) was saved. The
unfortunate person lost was one of the emigrants, who, it ap-
pears jumped overboard in order to attempt to swim ashore,
but was carried away by the sea and was not afterwards seen
alive. She had brought over a large number of emigrants
from Calcutta, and had also a rich cargo of East India pro-
duce on board. The last accounts state that the vessel has
become a total wreck, and her fragments have been sold by
auction. Her loss, with the cargo, is computed at 20,000/.,
a portion of which will fall on several insurance companies in
the City. The lossof the other vessels—the Marion, Capt.
Rose; the Malay brig, Capt. Shaw, and the Bordeaux, which
had all emigrants on board, took place under precisely simi-
lar circumstances. They were severally driven from their
moorings, and were cast on the rocks adjoining the harbours.
Providentially in these instances not a single life was sacri-
ficed.

FURNITURE of the LATE EMPEROR
NAPOLEON.

On Wednesday, at one o'clock, a sale by auction of the
property of the late Lieutenant-General Sir Hudson
Lowe, including some portion of the furniture
which was in the possession of the Emperor Na-
poleon during his captivity at St. Helena, took
place at the auction-rooms of Mr. Phillips, New
Bond-street, by order of the executors of Sir Hudson
Lowe, on which occasion there were several Frenchmen
present, who appeared to exhibit a lively interest when
the various articles, once the property of the late Em-
peror, were put up. These consisted. of about twenty
lots, and which in general possessed little from their
intrinsic worth to recommend them. Among them
were the following ;—A large mahogany-frame in-
dulging chair, banded with ebony, on castors, from the
Emperor's study, 151. 15s. ; a small circular mahogany
pillar and claw' table, on which Napoleon burned pas-
tiles, 61. 6s. ; a six foot pedestal library table, formed
of mahogany and yew tree, at which table he almost
always wrote, eighteen guineas ; an ebonyed arm chair,
with cane seat and back formed of common materials.
(There was a hole in the cane, seat which had been
caused by being constantly used, and it was stated by
some brokers in the room not to be worth Is. 6d.)
The auctioneer stated that from the chair being
light, it was carried about by the Emperor, when
he took his walks in the grounds at Longwood.
It was bought for 6/. An old inkstand, with two
cut glass inks, 51. ; a glass cruet and stopper, with the
crown and " N." engraved thereon' IL 16s. ; a swing
dressing glass in pillar supports, 61. 15s. ; a mahogany
cheat of five drawers (4ef_commanonanaraeture),
guineas ; the Order of the Dutch Lion ih gold and white
enamel, as instituted by Louis Napoleon, worn by
Joseph Buonaparte, and taken from the baggage of
the latter at the battle of Vittoria, by a corporal of
the 14th Dragoons, 141 ; a very fine portrait of the
Emperor, taken from life at St. Helena, eleven
guineas ; the Order of the Dragon, with the collar set
in precious stones. 101. ; a valuable gold time keeper
by Brequet, with gold chain and key, made to go fifty-
four hours—(twelve of these were made by order of
the Emperor, to be distributed by his own hands
to the Marshals of France, on which account they
were called the Marshal watches), 23 guineas. The
article which excited the greatest interest during the
sale, was a picture, containing a medallion, inelosing a
lock of hair of the late Emperor Napoleon, and one of the
King of Rome, suspended from three ribbons, worn
by the Emperor, to the order of the Legion of Honour
the Iron Crown and Re-union, surmounted by an Eagle.
At the bottom of the medallion is the following certifi-
cate by Marchand, the Emperor's valet and executor:—
"Le 20 Mars, J'ai donne d'amitie >1 M. Lemetheyer
quelques cheveux de l'aiipereur Napoleon, coupes aprls
sa mort et trois cordons de la Legion d'Honneur, de la
Couronne de fer et de la Re-union. " MARCHAND."
At the back of the picture, which is sealed, is the fol-
lowing certificate of M. Lemetheyer :
"Je dtklare sur l'honneur avoir recu de Monsieur
Marchand, premier valet de chambre de l'Empereur Na-
poleon et son executeur testamentaire, tousles objets
qui composent cos tableau lesquels ont 6:6 retires en ma
presence, du beau necessaire de l'Empereur, pour passer
dans ses mains au retour de S. Helene. Les cheveux
blonds qui se trouvent an milieu du medallion soot ceux
du Roi de Rome, et m'ont 6tl &nines par Madame Mar-
chand, mire berceuse du jeune Roi, 1 -son retour de
Vienne. " Paris, le 20 Mars, 1823.

" Lieutenant de fr6zate Honorais,
" Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur."
The following appears in the inventory A of Napo-
leon's will

"Art. 2. Marchand conservera mes chereux et en fern
faire un bracelet avec un petit cadenas en or pour etre
envoye l'Etnperatrice Marie Louise, Ama mere et a
chacun de Mei freres, sours, neveux, nieces, au Cardinal,
et un plus considerable pour mon fils."
The first offer for the picture was fifty guineas ; a
spirited competition ensued, at five guineas each bidding,
when it was disposed of for ninety-five guineas.
The various lots in the catalogue produced about 6801.
