Thus, for example—a person in the twenty-fifth year of his age,
instead of paying 21. 6s. per annum for an Assurance of 1001., would
be required-to pay 1/. 3s. only during the first five years, when, on
payment of the arrears of Premium, amounting to 51. 158., his share
of the Profits would be such as to reduce his future Annual Pre-
miums to very little more than the half Premium of It 3s. originally
paid by him. The Great Britain is the only Mutual Assurance
Society in which this very great accommodation is given to Qs-As-
sured. _ .

THE SONG OF SPRING!

To place a garland on each bower •
I come, I time, with mirth and glee,
And who delighteth not in me?
Through forest, mountain, flood, and lake,

And notes of joy tune sweetly on ;

Through

I come amidst the sunlit isles,

Yes, welcome, thrice welcome, is Spring; and now, whilst the
most active preparations are ma ing in order to usher it in with due
eclat, L. rivAM would wish it to be distinctly understo-d that he is
availing t imself of every novelty which the Parisian, London, and

For trousers his stock abounds with the most superb novelties in

HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE IN
NORFOLK.

•
On Monday morning . last the parish of Whitwell, in
this county, and the neighbOurhoOd, were thrown into a
state of excitement and consternation, in Consequence. of
a man, generally accounted honest and respectable,
named William Frost, having murdered four of his
children in his cottage. He is a journeyman tanner, and
hat worked for Mr. Leamon, of Whitwell, for the tart
thirteen years. He had killed hiS three elder children
by beating them on the back of their heads with a large
heavy hammer. - The •youegest, an infant,-he put heed
first into a large earthen; pot full of water. The names
and ages of the-children area; follows:—Harriet Frost
five years ; Charlotte Frost, three years ; Eliza _Frost,
eighteen months; and Louisa, Frost,_only tell weeks. The
fa her (Willi/ye Frost). is only about thirty-sik years of
age, and was taken into custody immediately a.ter the
horrible 'occurrence. by Samuel Parker, an inspector of
police, residing at Reepham.
Notice was soon after given to Mr.. Pilgrim, one of the
county coroners, who instructed the constable to em-
'pannel a very respectable jury from different parishes.
the following morning the Coroner arrived, and held
Hs •► - a inquest at the Falgate public-house, occupied by
Vyall. The jury having assembled and been
. %Inn, proceeded to the cottage to examine-the bodies,
and when they arrived there they were shocked at the •
deplorable spectacle of dead bodies.. The Coroneraind
jury having returned to the public-house, the following
evidence was given:7-
Sarah Allen, the wife of Thomas Allen, of Whitwell,
depceed as followst—l live in a • cottage adjoining that
in which William Frost resides. I have known hiM
about twenty years. I have always considered him a
very steady man, and he alWays, as far as I have sr en,\
conducted himself very respectably. I knew his fourl
children well. Their names are Harriet Frost. about
five years of age; Charlotte Frost, three years old; Eliza,
eighteen months; and Louisa, ten weeks. I saw them
all on Friday or Saturday last, in the morning. They
were then in good health. Yesterday morning, about
nine o'clock, or a little after, I saw Martha, the wi!C of
William Frost, go out of her own gate adjoining her
cottage. She told me she was going to Mrs. Wilkins for
a shilling owing to her. She then walked on towards
Mrs. Wilkins's, and very soon returned—l think in
ab tut five minutes—and I saw her again by my gate,
which is very near her cottage. She told me she was
disappointed, as Mrs. Wilkins had gone to Reepham.
We stood together some little time, and she then went
into her own cottag-, and I went into mine. I said to
her as she was going into her cottage, " How is your
'husband—is he got to
,work?" I was aware he bad been
rather unwell for some days. She said he was not gene
to a ork. IthmetZiately after she had gone into her cot-
tage, I heard Mrs. Frost call out violently, as if some-
thing was the matter. I ran into her house as fast as I
could. Mrs. Frost was calling out, " On, my chil-
dren !" I took hold of her, and asked her what was
!he matter. She was unable to explain what had oc-
enerel. I turned round, looked into the pantry, and there
! saw Eliza Frost lying. dead. I then went up stairs,
and there T saw Harriet Frost and Charlotte Frost lying
on the floor quite dead. I saw there a quantity of blood.
I then went down stairs and looked for the other child,
hut I could not find it. I called out violently at the
doer for some one to ceme; and I sent my child, who
easby my door, to get a neighbour to come in. Wil-
liam Frost, the father, was all this time sitting by the
fireside, in his kitchen. I took hold of him, and said,
" Oh, man! what have you done?" Ido nut recollect
that he made any reply. I then took hold of his wife to
comfort her all I could; she was very much distressed.
I went into the pantry to show Elizabeth Yarham, wh
was just come into the house, the child Eliza Frost,
which I had previously seen lying dead, sand as I was
going into the paniry I turned my eye and I saw the
babeLou'sa Frost standing in an earthen pot, which ;vas
partly filled with water, with its head downwards. I
lifted the child up. It was dead. I laid it on a b 'Act.
A Mr. Savory, who was at this time present, made an
observation that I ought not to have taken the child out
of the earthen pot. I was so much alarmed that I can-
not say whether I put the child into the pot ageiv, or
whether Mr. Savory put it in. lam quite satisfied the
child was dead. There was no person in Frost's ho se
when Ifiret went in but Frost, his wife, and the children.
No person lodged in the house with Frost and his wife.
I have since heard Mrs. Frost say, when she went out
after the shilling, that she left the three elder children
at breakfast with her husband, and the youngest in the
cradle, and they were then all well. Wifliam.Frost has
lived 'miler the same roof where I reside for four or five
years, and I have had every opportunity of knowing le,ve
he conducted himself, and I believe he has been a good
husband and a tender father.

Several other of the neighbours who had be'-n called
in at the first alarm, corroborated this evidence, but
without adding any material facts ; and Robert Leamon,
of Whitwell, was then called. He said—l em a tanner
and farmer at Whitwell, and William Frost has worked
fOr me, in my tan-yard and on my farm, about thirteen
years. He has during that time been a very steady, so
ber, and well-behaved man. He was unwell four dies
last week and not able to work, but he was at work Cy'
Friday and Saturday fast ; he was then much better.
Frost had previously told me that he thought he had got
a rupture coming. I advised him to see Mr. ILrsant,
the surgeon for this district, and I offered to giye him a
note. I saw Frost on the Saturday afternoon. I saw
no more of him till after the alarm was given that his
four children were dead. I was informed that he had
killed them. I went to his house yesterday, imme-
diately on my hearing what had occurred. When I got
to his house, I found him in custody of Parker the police-
officer. Ile was sitting, handcuffed, by the table. I
drew a chair and sat by him. I asked him a few ques-
tions with a view to ascertain his state of mind, and not
with a view to criminate himself. I asked him what
could possibly indaca him to commit so horrible a deed?
He remained silent. Some one said, " It's of no use
asking him any questions, he will not answer any one.
The house being very full, I asked the police-officer
to clear the house. I think about half-a-dozen persons
remained with me: I then repeated my question, how
could he possibly commit such a horrible deed ? He
shook his head, and groaned. I sail, " Frost, you are
the last person in this parish I should have thought
could have committed such an act as this." I think
Parker at this time came up with the hammer, and said,
" This is what the children were killed with ; here is
blood upon it now, and the handle has been washed."
My eyes are weak, and I did not see any blood upon the
hammer. I did not think it had been washed so recently.
I cautioned Parker, the policeman, to remember what
Lord Abinger said at Norwich respecting the police. I
don't think Frost saw the hammer ; his face was quite to
the table. I said, "Frost, you hear what is said about
the hammer ; was this dreadful deed done with the
hammer ?" He answered "Yes." I then asked him
if he washed the hammer afterwards ? He said " Yes."
I asked him if such a thought as this had ever entered
his head before ? He said. "Yes." I asked him if he
thought, by des'roying his innocent children, it would
be the means of getting t lem to Heaven ? He said,
he hoped so. I then ask, d him f he had any intution
of destroying himself ? He said " Yes, he intended to
have dune so." I advised him to listen to the Rev. Mr.
B 1) th, the minister of our parish, who was then in the
room. I saw Frost again in the afternoon. I advised
him again to have some spiritual comfort, and I inquired
if he would like to see Mr. Myth again ? He said he
had no objection. He said Mr. Blyth had read and
prayed to him. I said " William, did you join with Mr.
Blyth in prayer ? " He groaned and said, " How could
I ? " I saw bins again in the evening, and then I advised
bite t;) have Mr. Blyth. I considered that. Frost an-
swered all the questions very rationally.
The evidence of the surgeon, Walter Harsant, of
Reephatn, was as folloWs:—I was requested yesterday
marning to attend at Whitwell, to examine -the children
of William Frost, who ha I been murdered, as repre•
sented to me, by their. lather. ' I went over immedi-
ately, and examined the four children lying in Frost's
house. I found the two yOungtat children in the
pantry; one lying on the floor, and the other in
a
basket, both quite dead. The two elder children were
upstairs, both lying on the floor dead. I first exta

at the back of the head was sufficienttocause death. It
appeared as if the child had been injured by some blunt

to account fur death. The clothes were wet and tip-

both these children than upon the child below stairs, and
these :i.actures were quite sufficient
to cause death. I am
quite satisfied that these fractures were • given by some
blunt instrument. lam certain the re must have been at
le:st tao blows given to each of the two elder ( hi.dren
upstairs.

The Coroner then directed the po!iceman . to produce
Wiliam Frost, 'and the Coroner- cautioned him against
saying anything to criminate himself, informing him
that all he said would be taken down in writing, and, if
necessary, would be given in evidence against him ; but,
is he wished to mike any statement, he, the Coroner,
was, ready to receive it. The. Coroner then read all the
depositions over, to which the prisoner paid marked
attention, occasionally correcting the statements of the
w itnesses.

The several depositions having been read over,
The prisoner said—With regard to Sarah Allen's d:—
p-sition, it is p.lrfeltly earrect, with the exception that't
think my wife was gone more than five minutes. I have
m,thing to say against the evidence of Elizabeth Yar-
ham. I have nothing to say against the evidence of
Mary Allen. I had plenty of victuals in my house. I
have no observation to mace to the evidence of Mary
Eye. I have no observation to make to Robert Rya's
evi !once. Theevidenee of Alfred Savory appears pretty
right. The evidence of Samuel Parker appears to me to

HEALTH OF TOWNS.--FELTR.A-
TRATION OF .WATER..,.
The importance. of pure water is admitted by all to !le
very great as- one means of improving and maintaining
the health of large towns. The supply .for the tr
polls has 'often been complained of,as being by aim inema
so clear, bright, or limpid as water for drinking and f r
other domestic uses should be.. Any plan, ther,foree
that is ,ealeu'ated to remedy the evil, demands iminerlitve
and serious attention.. On this account, attendance v,as
yesterday given, at Brownlow-mew,;, Gray's Inn-lane, to
witness Stuckey's patent fluter in operation. It was 4.x-
-hibited on the scale of three feet square, the filter itself -
being, thus of nine feet surface, and purifying the laege
quantity of 100,000 gallons in the 24 hours. The weer
filtered was from the New River; and, certainly, the
process clarified it to an extraordinary degree. The ri-
ginal liquid appeared thick and turbid; but when it eat
passed through the sponge of the .machine,. the stre,ra
Was as limpid and sparkling as if just procured from a
crystal spring. This new method of filtration has ex-
cited much attention in,. Parliament, where era
Brougham has declared it to be of immense imp rotnee
to the public welfare. The inventor, Mr. W,.1-rStuelc-y,
is -a native-of Russia, but the son- ofelinglish pare.
The principal maieltieS in the inyiontron are the rapidity
of the filtration, -and the employment of sponge, in a
highly compressed statee--as the filtering material. Tt.e
rapidity is of, twofold importance—the saving of tin-e
and cost, and the preservation of the best qualisi, s
the-water. With regard to the latter object, it &Kew-%
that any process that filters water drop by drop, or ire
very small quantities, deprives it of the carbonic itch!
gas it previously contained, thus- rendering the
liquid flat, far less wholesome, and more liable 1..
speedy decomposition. By this invention, however, the
water is filtered with rapidity, and in large quantities, ;
and thus every good quality is retained, chile the tierce--
able briskness anti (to use the German -expression) '•
spirit of the well" is- unimpaired. With respect t.) the
filtering material, sponge, from its very porous and ret:-
culate structure. it net only allows the water to Less)
through with great rapidity, but arrests every extran Qua)
matter mechanically mixecrwith it •, it can be more t. ly
cleansed that, any other medium hitherto employe.) 7(.;
filtration ; and it has this further recommendation, that
it imparts neither taste nor sznell to the water. Mr, S,
thus sums up the advantages of his invention over. err)
present system of filtration—that it presents an eetmoti V.
in space, of one foot for one acre ; in money, of 7,3:,05.
per annum, as the current expenses, instead cif the esi-
mated current expenses of the New River Comi-any, of
19,000 i. per annum ; and in time, of filtering in six
hoots by machinery of one foot to the acre, mole. aloft
2,300,000 gallons, which quantity in the Chelsea Wes--
works, it takes twenty-four hours to filter. In an e•
ritnent made before Lord Brougham, and other scieniate
individuals, and the representatives of several of the
great water companies, Mr. Stuckey has, by a .smile
machine of only five feet square, filtered water in a th:ek
and muddy state, and produced it bright, limpid, awei
sparkling, at the rate of 2,500,000 gallons in tweaty-f-44-
hours. Subsequently, a filter of net more than 100 ea-
bical contents has delivered at the rate of from three
four million gallons per day. The plan Las alrea
in operation in Russia, in Government end other
for live years ; and it is about to be introduced, we be-
lieve, in Paris. It certainly seems calculated to effeet as
purpose well and cheaply ; and, therefore, deserv, s
a'-
tendon from the metropolitan water companies, and
to whom pure, wholesome water is a desideratum ; nmit
to whom is it not ?

LLOYD'S SHIPPING..
-THE PIRATE OF THE MEDITERRANIIVI-

AGAIN.

This vessel, of which some particulars of her r-r;elt
depredations were given a day or two since, has kies;.l
again seen up the Mediterranean, and although th:, s• 1
she chased was enabled to effect her escape, it still shoevie
that her abominable trade is carried on in the very
teeth, as it were, of her Majesty's men-of-war. By a
letter received from Paris, dated the 9th inst., it appears.
that "the Jean Baptiste, Martin, from Cette. arn'ved.
at Havre on the 24th ult., was obliged to take shel er
under the Island or Iviea, and while lying then., tomb/. t 4
midnight, he perceived a brig, painted black, whi-st he
supposei to be either a Gretic or a Turkish vessel,Ai.ta
sails set. When arrived necrly opposite the• Irani
Bap:iste, she clewed up her lower sails, hauled d 'vii
her foretopsail, and rounded to. The Jean Baptiste take
about, but the suspicious brig did the same, end
prepared to put her boat out ; rereeiving which tlev
Jean Baptiste made all sail to run out to sea ; th v
strange brig dot the same, but the ti,a running very
high she tacked, and remained with her topsa.fls
reefed." It will be remembered that in the recout a--
count given under this head, the suspicious vessel i> r ,
presented as being a barque, whilst in the present fit-
stance the strange sail is mentioned as being a bri;..
A widely different rig, it is true, but may have beet re-
