BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London.

JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious artiole for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, Lel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly soNcit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their mate, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good In all
climates. . _ .

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed
of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that
it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and
object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI-
TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their
value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded,
and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be
in the management of the affairs of the Company- when the claims
arise; and for this purpose the Company have, 5y a clause in their
deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprival themselves of the
power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that
it was obtained from them by fraudulent m',,representation. The
regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the
validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct-
ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life
Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which
have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com-
promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved
to have been committed against them, can vitiate a pelicy granted by
this Company.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the
mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations,
and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay
the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were
effected shall have been liquidated before tile claims arise. The
Company considering it only just towards the assured that where
premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount
should be paid; and they undertake to do so without reference to
the state of the accounting between the assured and his debtor.
THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour
of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured,
although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.
The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are
lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits
is not required; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the
assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re-
gard to complete security will permit.

BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one-half of the first
seven years' premium is required, the other half being payable at
at the convenience of the assured; thus allot,ing a Policy to be
continued for seven years at one-half of than 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 an 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 51. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or-
dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 10/., the first pay-
ment by 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 10/. ; and so on till the end of the
seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either
be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. Interest until death, when the
35/. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payable by the Company.

Empowered by Act of Parliament.
The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or ferfeiture—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 ➢feeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested; ant this bonus, according to an equitabie
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums

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,ooit on the im-
mediate payment of the premium for £SCO 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 become a claim in the interim, the amount due
will then be deducted

THE TOAD AND THE ELEPHANT.
A Toad and Elephant (so we've heard say)
sccti al. fem. figl LL. M 1... <ley.
The Toad, they say, began " the dread dispute,"
And foolishly attack'd the giant brute.
It swell'd 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—
The spiteful 'lead had burst itself with rage.
Now £sop would have thought, that after thi',
Its simple moral would not be amiss.
And we would close this labulous 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 'load's position,
Is what the reader guesse s—" Oompetition."
Like the huge Eledhant, our giant Mart
Smiles that till " Toad" should act so vain a part.
The house of MOSES will unharm'd es 'ape,
From " Competition" in its fiercest shape.
Which (bearing out t* e story of the To-al,)
Will "swell" with " envious rage"—und then—" explode.'

RESTRICTIONS ON FACTORY
LABOUR.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—Until the demand for factory goods shall exceed
the supply, the Ten Hours' Bill is based on a principle of
sour.d 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 u, cacriGoo 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 pregatratives 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 foumi 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,

RIGHT OF SOLICITORS TO ADDRESS JURIES.—
Chief Baron Brady permitted a solicitor to address the jury
in defence of a prisoner at Cork. Mr. Bennett, Queen's
Counsel, and the bar. strongly protested against such an in-
cursion upon their privileges (whieh were specially recognised
by statute), rose immediately after the Learned Judge had
intimated his intention, and withdrew from the Court. His
Lordship stated that he would have the question fully argued
before the twelve judges.
AWFUL DEATH.--Mr T. Hutchinson, the eminent
railway contractor, iret his death last week, on his way from
the Sedgefield station of the Stockton and Darlington Rail.
way to the village of Morden, where he lived. He had a
few glasses of whisky at the Sedgefield station, which is a
public-house, and in less than half an hour after he had left
to walk home, he was found with his head just within the
rails, and an engine with a train of thirty-five waggots had
gone over his neck, right shoulder, and arms, which killed him
14 a moment. He has left a widow and six children.

COMMONS' INCLOSURE BILL.

(From the Morning Advertiser.)

In consequence of the indisposition of Lord Worsley,
the Order of the Day for going into Committee on
the Commons Inclosure Bill was on Wednesday night
postponed by the House of Commons till the 24th of
April, and most earnestly is it to be hoped that the
friends of justice and of the poor will spare no
effort during the brief interval thus given, in endea-
vouring to defeat this monstrous attempt at public
spoliation.
While the Morning Chronicle is employing its
columns in aid of this iniquitous proceeding, and en-
deavouring to blind the eyes of the public to its real
character, the Times admits into its pages a most
valuable exposé of its true nature. The morning or-
gan of Whiggery volunteers to write in favour of a
iapacious act worthy only of the age of feudal oppres-
sion, and the " leading journal" does not leave its
readers without the means of perceiving the gross in-
justice against the poor, of which the Chronicle is
the advocate. The Commons Inclosure Bill is, in
the language to which we refer, "a proposition which
gives 4,000,000 of acres to those who already possess
32,000.000," and which, we may add, makes this
magnificent donation to the landed aristocracy under
the most hypocritical pretences. Under the profession
of regard to the poor, and a wish to provide for them,
the great landlords in Parliament are about to divide
among themselves about one-eighth of the whole coun-
try.;,and.the organ of Liberal opinions, the stern as-
sertor of public rights, aids the cupidity of landlords in
Parliament, by trying to persuade the country that
there will be no harm done. We admire the pointed sar-
casm which pervades the following language, and unveils
the hypocrisy of which the Chronicle is the advocate:—
"The parties to this important question aro the
gentry of the country on the one hand, and the com-
mon people on the other. The first assume, and with
truth, that there is want of employment in many
parts of the kingdom, and by the inclosing, paring,
and tilling of many of those wastes, every labouring
man will obtain the great and scarce boon of employ-
ment, for which he is pining. The increase of their
own estates is not for a moment admitted as a motive,
though an addition of one-eighth is not a contempti-
ble addition." If this very large portion of the
country which is now the property of the nation, is
to be brought into cultivation for the benefit of the
poor, we beg to suggest a plan by which the interests
of the poor can be effectually secured, and at the same
time the nation at large shall receive whatever ad-
vantage may be derivable from the improvement of
its own property. Let these four millions of acres
be sold or rented, or allotted to the poor, and let the
proceeds go towards the liquidation of the National
Debt. Can we afford to put into the pockets of the
landed aristocracy those funds which, if judiciously
appropriated, would considerably diminish the bur-
dens of an over-taxed population ? What man in his
senses, who knows the facts which for months
past have been constantly before the public, relative
to the heartless indifference of landlords to the pros-
perity of their tenantry, would for a moment dream
of those landlords devising a measure simply for the
benefit of the agricultural labourers and farmers? What
a disinterested, benevolent race these landed Members
have become, to consent to have their estates en-
larged, not at all for their own advantage, but simply
from the kind and anxious wish to add to the comforts
of those miserable families to which their compassion
has assigned as an ample support, 6s. or 7s. a week !
The true extent of the regard which is had to the
poor in the contemplated measure, may be best un-
derstood by the fact, which is stated in the Times,
relative to the inclosure at Croydon :
" Some years ago an Act was obtained to inclose
no less than 6,000 acres of land at Croydon, in Sur-
rey. The lord of the manor, the holders of land,
and others received large portions—among them the
late Lord Liverpool. To the poor were allotted about
200 acres. These they never obtained, neither com-
pensation ; but a court-house being wanted, another
Act was passed : the poor man's lots were sold in pur-
suance of it, and the money spent in this monument
of rapacity. " _ _

Ilere is-a
beautiful specimen of the treatment to
which the poor are subject by landowning M. P.'s.
A large extent of common is inclosed•for the benefit
of the poor, and their portion is appropriated to the
erection of a court-house, where they may stand in
the presence of their wealthy neighbours charged
with poaching on the manor which was once their
own possession, and which the laws of their coun-
try have taken from them and given to the rich.
The friends of the poor have every reason to dis-
credit the professions of those by whom Lord Wors-
ley's Bill is advocated, and to oppose a measure
which, as long as the game-laws disgrace our sta-
tute-book, will increase the perils to which the lives
of the poor are exposed. The more inclosures the
more game preserves, and the wider will be the scene
in which desperate encounters will take place be-
tween the furtive intruder and the gamekeeper. To
the numerous illustrations which have recently been
furnished of the evil results of these foolish and
cruel laws, an addition has just been made by a trial
reported in the papers yesterday, for the murder of
the gamekeeper at Kingston. In the language of
the Learned Counsel who defended the prisoner, it is
"a melancholy thing that, in order to enable persons
in the position of Lord Grantley to enjoy their plea-
sures and preserve their game, the lives of the poorer
classes are to be sacrificed, and it would be much
better if there were no game, and that such lordly
pleasures should be altogether abolished, than that
such dreadful cases as that before the Court, and si-
milar ones all over the country during the present
assizes, should have taken place." It is evident,
from the confession of the unhappy convict Elsley,
as well as from numerous other similar statements,

that the feelings that exist between poachers and
gamekeepers are those of the most deadly hatred,
feelings strangely inconsistent with the trivial cha-
racter of the property which one of the parties has
to protect and the other is anxious to seize. In the
case to which we have referred, the gamekeeper
seemed determined to kill the poor man who had
knocked down a brace of pheasants, and a deadly
encounter, a "life-for-life" fight was the result. If
the victim of these inhuman and unnatural laws had
been the keeper of the Crown jewels or the guardian
of Majesty, he could not have displayed more ear-
nestness in the guardianship of the property intrusted
to his care, or have shown a more deadly enmity
against the man by whom his charge was assailed. It
is really a monstrous absurdity that the idle amuse-
ments of the aristocracy should be so sacredly fenced
round by the sanctions of law as to peril human life
and liberty whenever they are invaded. And when,
as in the unhappy case at Kingston, we see one life
sacrificed, and another barely saved from the gibbet,
in a contest for a brace of pheasants, taken to rescue
his wife and family from the fangs of starvation, we
are the more impelled to protest against a measure by
which the number of such cases will be increased.
Do.;ar= tho docign wliicii tho diqintoroctocl. Members
of Parliament hive of dividing this land amongst
themselves, there is another too obvious not to pre-
sent itself to the mind of every thinking man. This
scheme is one of the efforts of the pro-corn-law
party to perpetuate the ruinous policy of which they
are the abettors. Want of employment—the effect
of the corn-laws—is to cease for a few years by set-
ting the unemployed labourers to work -on their own
land, and thus one of the arguments for free trade is
to be answered, and the clamours of the League to
he silenced. Should this policy (by the aid of the
Morning Chronicle) succeed, the day which the land-
lords dread will be put off, until it will be too late
to adopt the only measure that will save the country
from ruin, England will have lost her manufacturing
enterprise, and all her interests will be bankrupt
together.
(From the Times.)
The second debate on Lord IVorsley's Inclosure
Bill is adjourned till after Easter. We are glad of
this. The interval of time thus gained will afford an
opportunity to Hon. Members of investigating the
merits of a subject on which, we suspect, the greater
number of them are more ready to vote than to re-
fleet. And, though we do not profess to be very
sanguine in our hopes that the arri&e pens& of a
Parliamentary majority may turn the scale of a divi-
sion in favour of a generous and just as opposed to an
interested policy, yet we do not wholly despair of
seeing the House do on this occasion what it has
done on others—namely, rescind its previous deci-
sions, and retract its former language—an inconsist-
ency which, however derogatory it may be to the
dignity of a legislative assembly, is not unfrequently
more in accordance with the wishes, and more sub-

servient to the interests, of those who are represented
in it, than the most stubborn and pertinacious con-
sistency would be. The House has of late exhibited
a very strong predilection in favour of the principle
of humanity over the petty wisdom of economists and
the selfish abstractions of rich men. The causes
from which this predilection has arisen still exist, and
must operate on future occasions to thwart any ten-
dency to a sordid or oppressive spirit of legislation.
It cannot be that those who have stood forth strenu-

ously and determinedly, and not less triumphantly
than strenuously, to champion the poor man's
rights in the populous towns which owe their
wealth and prosperity to his labour—it cannot
be that the very same men can forget to maintain the
privileges which the policy and philanthropy of past
ages guaranteed to him and his children in the soil of
his native hamlet. We wish Hon. Gentlemen would
bring themselves to an examination of the purport
and effects of the Bill, and ask themselves what it
really is, and what it proposes to do. The Bill is
nothing more than an embodiment of a scheme which
has become very fashionable of late years—that of
centralisation—aggravated by the worst features of
spoliation. It takes from the poor to give to the
rich, whilst it throws over the fraud which it sug-
gests the pretext of consent on the part of those whom
it pillages ' • and it crowns the mischiefs which it ne-
cessitates by creation of a new board of assistant-
commissioners, secretaries, and a large staff of mer-
cenaries, who will doubtless be just as likely to regard
the prayers or the remonstrances of the poor com-
moners, as that other great central board—the Poor-
law Commission —is habitually moved by the suppli-
cations of parochial paupers. There is one thing
to be said in favour of this Bill —that on
the face of it it shows less humbug than
might be expected. It of course has a good
deal about appeals to Pariiament, awards, and arbi-
trations, and so forth ; just as if when the plunder
once began, one did not know who must get it ; but
ow-the whole it does not profess Much in besiiiilf of the
poor, as its supporters in and out of Parliament do—
it puts them quietly on one side, tells them that it's
of no use in the world making any noise about the
matter, and coolly transfers their property—often the
smallest portion of the commonable land in a parish
—according to the will and pleasure of the one or
tv o gentlemen who may happen to possess an inte-
rest in two-thirds of it—i.e., of the great landowner
or landowners in the neighbourhood. There is, at
all events, something bold and straighforward in this,
which distinguishes Lord Worsley's tone from that
taken by many of his party, who professed to be im-
pelled by an overwhelming solicitude for the good of
the poorer classes. And on this ground alone—
that it despoils the poor cottager of all that he can
call:his own in the way of property--on this ground
alone, if on no other, we would strongly resist
this measure. But when, in addition to this
one noxious and hateful principle, it involves the
creation of a central board, with Heaven only
knows what powers and what salary, and the dis-
pensation of no little patronage, we think that
we are discharging a most important duty in
denouncing, a despotism which will be no less profli-
gate than oppressive--no less costly to the public than
inimical to the welfare of the poorest classes. If the
poor are to be not only injured in their property, but
also wounded in that generous pride with which the
consciousness of hereditary privileges was wont to
inspire the very humblest individual, do not insult
those whom you rob by the mushroom superstructure
of a well-paid Commission. If you must erect a new
board, and if you are grasping for more patronage, at
any rate look out for some subjects more powerful and
less sensitive than the rural cottagers to oyerate upon.
Look abroad upon the wide field of foreign and do-
mestic politics ; and in the wide ocean of finance, po-
litical economy, and European alliances, you will find
some green spot whereon a Commission may fatten
to your heart's content. You are fond of talking about
the happiness, the comfort, the manly independence,
and the honest cheerfulness of the rural population ; do
not talk thus, whilst you are destroying the basis on
which your panegyric rests. Do not deprive him of
that petty remnant which political economy or indi-
vidual covetousness yet allows him to retain, of inte-
rest in the soil which gave him birth. Deprive him
of this, and you extinguish in his bosom the last
spark of ingenuous pride, and you convert him into
a sullen, reckless, thriftless, and serf-like hireling.
You speak kindly and sympathetically of his manly
sports when it aids your purpose; you pass a Bill
through Parliament, not, of course, as at first sight
would appear, to ward off certain legal penalties from
yourselves, but to encourage the manly sports of
your poorer countrymen; do not let this enactment
—philanthropic and disinterested as you would have
it considered—be the limit of your well-doing and
right-voting. Resist a Bill which wouiu sake away
from the alleged object of your genial sympathies, not
only the few acres which pastured his small stock,
but also the green-sward where—
. __

" All the village train, from labour free,
Led up their sports beneath the spreading tree;
While many a pastime circled in the shade,
The young contending as the old survey'd,
And many a gambol frolick'd on the ground,
And sleights of art and feats of strength went round."
If you are bent on preserving the healthy and cheer-

ing sports of the English pe—asant—sports which may
beguile him from the beer-shop, and allure him from
Chartism—depend upon it that you will do more to-
wardi realising this purpose by resisting Lord Wors-
ley's Bill, than by a thousand enactments directly or
indirectly in favour of horse-racing.
