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 forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as beet 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 Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
CLERKENWELL.

Six young women," aged about 17 years, named Mar-
garet Glynn, Margaret French, Mar.& Willis, Sophia
Cole, Mary Brown, and Eliza Maynard, were charged
with creating a riot in the Clerkenwell workhouse, of
which they are inmates, with assaulting 'the- master, and
tearing his coat.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Harnet, the mas-
ter, that the prisoners, who have been repeatedly con-
victed of misconduct in the workhouse, were, at half-
past seven on the previous evening, at the windows of
the esiblishment, and " larking " with some young men
who iiere outside the walls, and throwing stones over the
walls. He had repeatedly told the prisoners not to go
into that part of the house, and on this occasion desired
them to leaie it. French, with an oath, exclaimed she
would not leave the place. Willis likewise refused.
They then went into ward 28, and became very riotous.
`Witness called Smith, the gate-keeper, and then at-
tempted to remove French; but all the other prisoners
attacked them in .the most violent manner. CUle, Wil-
lis, and Brown snatched up saucepans, plates, pots, and
pans, and flung them at witness, swearing they would
murder him. Willis swore she would job his eye out.
Willis—Yes, and so I will
Witness—French said she would run me through with
a knif4.

FreUch—And I'll do it yet.
Witness—They sharpened a knife in the presence of
the overseer, a few days-ago, and-smote tlbsy-swessl4 stab.
four other girls, who refused to join them in their mutiny
against the workhouse authorities. Witness proceeded
-to say that the prisoners tore his coat almost into rags,
and kicked him on the legs and body ; they would have
overpowered him, had he not obtained the assistance of
four of the male paupers, and some police-officers, by
whom the prisoners were ultimately secured. The whole
workhouse was in a state of uproar ; the paupers
jumped out of their beds, and 200 of the inmates were
drawn to the place by the shouts and screams of the
prisoners.
Four other witnesses gave testimony to the same
effect. The conduct of the prisoners resembled that of
Furies. Cole flung a chair at the master's head, which
by stooping he avoided, and the chair was shivered to
atoms against the wall. They hallooed, swore, screamed,
and fought like Amazons, and nothing could exceed the
consternation and excitement hcl I prevailed in the
workhouse.

The prisoners, in their defence, stated that two of the
men the master had called were lunatics.

Mr. BROUGIITON inquired if such were the case, and
the master admitted that two of the men were of diseased
mind, but it was in a case of necessity he obtained their
aid. In answer to another question, Mr. Ilarnet said
there were 510 paupers in the house.

Mr. BROUGHTON said the visiting justices at the pri-
sons, in their reports, had stated that the greatest con-
fusion and disorder were introduced to the prisons by
the workhouse paupers who were confined there ; and
they complained of the magistrates sending so many of
them to prison. In Marylebone parish a person had
contracted to take 200 of these disorderly characters to
the colonies, but the interference of a Member of Par-
liament put a stop to it. Nothing could be worse than
the conduct of the prisoners ; but that of the master, in
bringing those demented poor creatures into a conflict of
this description was injudicious and indiscreet. He
would sentence French and Cole to pay a fine of ten
shillings, or six weeks' imprisonment ; and the other
four prisoners to three weeks' imprisonment, without fine.
George Osborne, a weather-beaten old seaman, was
charged by Griffiths, an excise-efficer, with unlawfully
exposing for sale a pint of bandy.
The offence was clearly proved, and the prisoner fined
25L, or three months' imprisonment.
Maria Graham, a young woman of mild and pre-
possessing appearance, was charged with endeavouring
to drown herself.

The officer being on duty. near the New River at
Newington on Wednesday night last, between eight

and nine o'clock, heard aloud splash in the water, and
on running to the place saw the prisoner struggling in it.
She had left her bonnet and cloak on the bank. After
some ditlioulty he succeeded in dragging her out, and,
on turning his lamp upon her, was surprised to recognise
her as a modest and respectable young woman, whom he
had known for years. She was very decently con-
nected, and her conduct had always been a model of
propriety in the neighbourhood in which she resided.
he cried bitterly, but refused to tell why she had
attempted to destroy herself. He removed her to the
Hackney workhouse, as she was very ill, and there she
had remained since.

The poor creature, on being questioned by the Magis-
trate, sobbed bitterly. She said her mother was alive,
but bed-ridden, and unable to support herself, and she
(the prisoner) was a dress-maker by trade, but became
so much reduced that she felt herself obliged to seek
parochial aid, and went into the Hackney workhouse
some time two, where she s'ayed until Monday last, when
she left it to see her sister. She remained with her
sister at Kingsland until Wednesday evening, when she
again applied to be received into the Hackney work-
house, but the officer there refused to admit her beeause
she did not return on Monday night. Mr. Dawson gave
her an order for admission to the house for the desti-
tute, but her feelings were so wounded at being obliged
to stop in such a place that she resolved to destroy her-
self, but was very sorry for whatjhe had done.
Mr. BROUGHTON said he lamented to see a person of
such respectable appearance, and apparently virtuous
disposition, in. such a condition, and would be happy to
afford her all the assistance in his power. For the pre-
sent, however, he would send her back to the workhouse.

MARYLEBONE.
Yesterday a very well-dressed man, about 35 years of age,
who at the station-house said his name was James Thompron,
but refused, on account of his connexions, to give his ad-
dress, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with
having conducted himself in the following most extraordi-
' nary manner towards the wife of Mr. William Gutteridge, a
highly-respectable gentleman residing at No. 28, Upper
Montagu-street, Montagu-square
. The lady was not present, but her husband, who, wit-
nessed the shameful behaviour of the prisoner, and who was
therefore enabled to give all the required particular!, was
sworn.

He stated, that upon several occasions within the last
week or ten days the prisoner had Called at his residence,
which was to be let furnished, and that he represented him-,
self to be Sir Arthur Shield. He spoke particularly as to his
wish to have stabling for his horses and carriages ad-
jacent to the house, and, after a little conversation, Jae was
requested to call again, which he did, and he then grdasly in-
sulted his (complainant's) wife.
Mr. LONG—Is your wife present? Complainant..-She is
not, Sir; but I think that my evidence will be sufficient with.
out her, as I saw all that took place with regard to the offence
for which the prisoner is brought here.
Mr. LONG (to complainant, who seemed very much ti-
cited)—Be more calm, and state slowly all that you know of
the matter.
Complainant—The prisoner bad been at the house at
twelve o'clock yesterday at noon, but nothing was then defi-
nitively agreed upon ; and at six o'clock in the evening he
paid another visit, when he fell passionately in love, all at
once, with my wife.
Mr. Loxes—Were you present at the time you speak of, or
do you not state merely what your wife or some one else may
have told you Complainant—l had just been admitted into
my house, Sir, after being out nearly the whole of the day,
and while I was on the first landing I heard the prisoner,
who was in the drawing-room with my wife, say to her, " To
tell you the truth, I am very much in love with you ; and,
will 20 guineas a week be of any service to your house?"
My wife immediately said, "What do you mean, Sir; I don't
understand you ?" And at the same moment be exposed to
her his person.
Mr. LONG—In what situation were you placed, so that you
could observe this? Complainant—l could see all that oc-
curred through the opening which there was between the
back part of the door and the wood work to which the hinges
were attached. The door was partly open at the time.
Mr. LONG—Having seen what you have mentioned, what
did you do? Complainant—Hearing my wife scream out at
the time of the infamous behaviour taking place, and having
seen what I have described, I instantly rushed into the
apartment, at the entrance to which my wife flew into my
arms; I collared the prisoner, whom I shook and designated
as a rascal and a villain, when he screamed out " murder
as loudly as he was able. A police-constable came to the
house in the course of a few minutes, and he (prisoner) was
taken into custody.
Complainant produced a book of a grossly indecent nature,
which the prisoner had thrown from him prior to his being
given in charge, and it was also shown that he had torn up
several cards and pieces of paper on which were written the
addresses and names of various lodging-house keepers, with
their terms of rental, &c. He was searched at the station-
house, and in his possession were found a number of gold
rings.
The prisoner was further questioned as to his name and
place of abode, but he positively refused to give them, saying
that the disclosure thereof might seriously affect his interests.
He admitted having conducted himself improperly and indis-
creetly, but denied that he had acted so infamously as had
been described.
Mr. LONG regretted that, as no assault had been proved,
he could not punish the prisoner, inasmuch as the offence al-
leged against him had not been committed in a street orpub-
lic place, and he must, therefore,l3e discharged ; an indict-
ment might, however, be preferred against him.
He was subsequently charged on a warrant with having
threatened to do injury to Mrs. Walters, 4, Southwick-street,
Paddington, with whom it was proved he lodged, and that
his name was James Whiting.
He was held to bail to keep the peace.

Yesterday a stylishly dressed man, named
Rsterbee, was charged befbre Mr. Bingham with the followingF,steibce,
outrage upon Mrs. Caroline Hancock, a respectable married
ge vi

who saw her do so,

a slight box on the ear, upon which the prisoner repeated his
blow, and, seizing hold of both her arms, shook her violently.
She succeeded in extricating herself from his grasp, and
hurried down her own street, but was quickly followed by
the prisoner, who again seized her by the arms and con-
tinued holding and striking her, until an elderly gentleman,
• who had been a witness to a part of the outrage, came up to
her assistance, and rescued her from the prisoner's hands.
Mr. H. Lara, the old-gentleman just referred to, said he
was coming up Shaftesbury-street, when he saw the com-
plainant struggling energetically with the prisoner, who had
a tight hold of both her arms, and occasionally let go of one
of them to strike her repeated blows on the chest. He went
up and remonstrated with him upon his unmanly conduct,
but the prisoner, refused to relinquish his hold of her, and
the witness was obliged to forcibly drag him away from the
complainant, on doing which, the latter, who was greatly
terrified and exhausted, instantly fell to the ground. The
prisoner then took to his heels and ran down the road, but a
person who now came up, and who had seen the latter part
of the transaction, pursued him and gave him into custody.
The prisoner, in defeAce, said lie had been drinking with
some friends and had berme inebriated, and that he really
had not the slightest recollection of acting in the manner that
was imputed to him ; if he had, he was very sorry for it,
but he thought that the assault must have been accidentally
committed.

Mr. BINGHAM inquired what .station in life the prisoner
occupied ? The prisoner said, lie was an officer in the service
of the London Dock Company.
Mr. BINGHAM said, if a person in a humble station in life
were brought before him for this offence, he should have
ample powers, in proportion to that person's means, to inflict
upon him an adequate punishment; but he regretted to say
that the Legislature had not invested magistrates with suffi-
cient powers to deal with offenders in the station the- prisoner
occupied. He, therefore, felt it his duty to call on the pri-
soner to find bail to answer the charge at the sessions, to
which he should send it, as any fine he could inflict would be
wholly inadequate to the merits.
The priSoner was about to be removed, when the com-
plainant stepped forward and begged the Magistrate to spare
her the pain and annoyance of appearance again in a public
Court, and urged him to deal summarily with the case.
Mr. BINGHAM, after some hesitation, said, that in conside-
ration of the delicate state of the pra•ecutrix's health, he
should, though with great reluctance, accede to her applica-
tion; he should therefore sentence the prisoner to pay the
highest penalty it was in his power to inflict, namely, 51., and
in default. of payment he must undergo 21 days' imprison-
ment and hard labour in the House of Correction.
The fine was immediately paid, and the prisoner dis-
charged.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
FROM TEE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS D.T.
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 12 per
mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10+d.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25
45 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short
being 25 571, it follows that gold is 0.48 per cent.
dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 435
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13.94, it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer
in Hamburgh than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London is
108 i per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng-
land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is 1.08 per cent. against England.
But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills
at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from
the above difference.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY, EIGHT O'CLOCK.—Expectation
is on the tiptoe here as to who are to be the candidates,
neither party up to this hour having launched their man. So
much anxiety and excitement on a question of the kind
was never known to exist here before. A great many names
on both sides have been mentioned, but rumour is but little
to be depended on. The Tories at their county meeting held
yesterday, at Newton, are said to have seriously named but
three men—Mr. Pemberton Leigh, of Wigan, a retired bar.
Hater, holding the office of Chancellor of the Duchy of
Cornwall, and at one time a Member for Ripon ; Colonel
Wilbraham (bother of the deceased Member); and Mr.
Egerton, third son of Mr. Egerton, of Tatton. Of these
gentlemen, all belonging to well known aristocratic families,
it is said that Mr. Pemberton Leigh was decidedly the
favourite, but it is now currently reported that all of them
have been waited upon, and declined the contest. On the
Liberal side equal uncertainty prevails. At a meeting last
night, it is said, a deputation was appointed to wait upon
Mr. Charles Townley, Mr. S. J. Lloyd, and Mr. Pascoe
Grenfell, which left town by a late train on its mission ;
but that letters from London this morning had brought in-
formation to the effect of a proposition having been made
to the gentlemen mentioned, anticipating the deputation,
and all of them had positively declined to come forward.
In the meantime the League, who, it is expected, will no-
minate
a candidate in the event of a free trader not being
started by either of the political. parties, is looked to with
something like impatience •, and Mr. Cobden's name is on
almost every tongue, not only in Manchester, but in Liver;
'pool;-Asliton, Bury,, and otheilarge towns ; and he is spoken
of both by Tories and Liberals in a mannettluit implies the
confident belief that he would carry everything before him if
put forward, and that such an opportunity of showing the
progress of free-trade principles in this great county, ought
not to be lost. The only explanation we. can give on this
point at present is, that the time for the Teague to step for-
ward with a candidate is not yet arrived, .
Test OVIACK.—SInce writing the above; a report has been
generally prevalent in Manchester, that the Tories having.
failed in all other, quarters, have waited upon Mr. W. En-
twistle, a retired manufacturer, and have prevailed on him to
stand. In the face of this a placard has appeared on the walls,
calling a meeting of the Conservative electors for four o'clock
to-morrow evening, "when a candidate will be announced,"
and it does not Seem probable.that if they had already fixed
upon a man they would wait till to•-incirrow evening before
they announced him. The greater probability Is, that they
are yet at sea" for a man, but expect by that time, through
some of their deputations now sent out, to have been more
successful.
