PROTECTOR • LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.—The
.
annual meeting of this Company was held yesterday at
the office in the Old Jewry.. The chairman, William
Cripps, Esq:, M.P., presided, and centered into very full
details as vi the progress and state of the Society's
affairs. ,k.A. report .and talance-sheet were then read,
from which it appeared that the assets of the Company,
on the 31st October, 1844, amounted to 430,9182 18s. id.,
and the liabilities (including the proprietors' paid-up
capital) to 351,2691. 4s.' ld , leaving a surplus of 79,6491
14s. The report Stated that a revaluation of the assets
and liabilities would be made in 1845, when the directors
had reason to believe it would be found, if the events of
the intervening year were ordinarily favourable, that the
surplus above stated was still further augmented, and
' that they would be, at the next general meeting, enabled
to recommend the distribution of a very satisfaqory
bonus. Thomas I)evas, Nathaniel Gould, and Robert
Alexander Gray, Esqs., were re• elected directors in lieu
of the gentlemen retired by *rotation ; and Thomas Bud-
dington, one of the auditors, was also elected to a
vacant seat in the direction ; 'John Deedes, Esq., and
John Wheelton, Esq., were chosen,
,as auditors ; and the
thanks of the proprietors having been unanimously voted
to the chairman and directors, the meeting separated.—

FIRE AT LlMxuousa.—Shortly before one o'clock
this morning a fire broke out upon the long line
of building in the occupation of Messrs. Chesser and Co.,
coopers, &c., in Shoulder-of-Mutton-alley, Limehouse,
near to Downton's-wharf. The fire progressed must
rapidly, the stock being of the most inflammable cha-
racter, consisting of a vast number of barrels, staves,
hoops, &e. An abundant supply of water being ob-
tained, the engineS were speedily set to work, but,
owing to the firm hold the flames had obtained, consi-
derable time elapsed before any impression could be
made upon the fire. Eventually, through the exertions
of the firemen; police,. and strangers, the fire yielded to
the exertions of the parties employed. The damage lone
is very considerable.
CAUTlON.—Yesterday, in the immediate neigh-
bourhood of Chiswick, a boy named Bennett, aged 14,
was killed by his cousin and brother, by a gun, while
engaged in shooting ;small birds. The accident origi-
nated in a scuffle . between the two last-named youths,
during which the gun went off, and the contents, small
shot, were lodged in the body of deceased, who was
standing close at band. The parties have been held
to bail.

As might be expected on the near approach of the
great Christmas market, which will be held on Monday
next, the supply of Beasts on sale was large, and, gene-
rally speaking, of a superior quality. The primest Scots,
&c., sold readily at an advance of 2d per 81bs; but all
other kinds were heavy, at previous currencies. Only
eight Beasts from Rotterdam were brought forward; but
from Aberdeen we received 170 Scots, twenty-five of
which unfortunately died on the passage. The number
of Sheep wao only moderate, yet the Mutton trade was
inactive, at barely Monday's quotations. Prime small
Calves sold freely at more money ; but all other kinds
of Veal were dull. In Pigs a good business was doing.
Milch Cows moved off slowly at from 161 to 191 each.
