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 miarepresentation ; 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 eaprice of those who shall be
in the management of the affairs- of , the Company when the claims
arise ; and for this purpesa the Company have,. by a clause in their
deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves .of the
power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that
it was obtained from. them by fraudulent misrepresentation. 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 'reouired from proposer for a Life
Policy,. and which hair* given rise to almost all the questions which
haVe been argued in the Coutts, and to many extra-judicial coin- ,
promises, are thus entirely abrogated; and nothing but fraud, proved
to have been Committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by
this Company.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY front whom the assured on the
'mutual prhaciple, 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 policiek, although the debts for which they were
effected shall have been liquidated* before the 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
tho.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
dower 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.

taller, and immediately before then of 25, Great Carlisle-street, Port-
man-markeVjourneyman tailor, haberdasher, and trimming-seller (all
which places are in the county of Middlesex), do hereby give notice,
that I intend to present a petition to the Court of Bankruptcy, Basing-
hall-street, London, praying to be examined touching mydebts, estate,
and effects, and to be protected from all process upon making a fbll
disclosure and surrender of such estate and effects for payment of my
just and lawful debts ; and I hereby further give notice, that the time
when the matter, of the ,said petition shall be heard is to be adver-

• EXTRAORDINARY APPREHENSION OF A THEA-
TRICAL COMPANY AND AN ALIDIENCE.—In consequence of
information received by the police authorities that some
theatrical performances were carried on nightly; at an esta-
blishment near King's-cross, Battle-bridge, where gangs of
young thieves and the worst of characters congregated,
to the nuisance of the respectable inhabitants, arrangements
were made, under, the direction of Mr. Superintendent
-Massey, of the G division,' for . the purpose of making a cap-
ture of the performers. and the -whole of theparties assem-
bled in the theatre ; and laSt night, between eight and nine
eclock, a numerous body of the police, accompanied by Mr.
Hassey, respecters Penny and Barton, Sergeants Archer,
}lack; &c., repaireibte :the scene .of action, where several
officers, some of Wholia. were diiiguiseil as butchers, dust-
men, and other characters, had paid for their achnisSion, and
became part of the auditory, for the.purpose of giving their
evidence.. The entrance of the house in which the enter-
taininente were to be exhibited was fitted up with a prosce-
nium, scenery, and all the paraphernalia of a theatre, with a
door-keeper, and money and check-takers. The exterior was
placarded with announcements, that the " Grand melo-
dramatic piece of Maria Marten, or •the Red Barn Murder,
with other novel and spendid entertainments, would be ex-
hibited, interspersed with music, singing, gymnastics, tura-
bling, and legerdemain, would take place and "only a
penny" would be charged to witness the performances, which
were "never equalled" iu the known world. The audience
having , waited with great patience, the curtain at length
rose, when the piece of Maria Marten was com-
menced' by automaton figures of the .most grotesque
apPearance, and were made to move with wires,
so that they " suited the action" to the words, which were
repeated by some one behind the scenes who also worked the
wires. At lesigth the officers, who had been so organised
that it was impossible for anybody to escape, rushed behind
the scenes, captured the whole of the "automaton actors,"
inclUding the wretch "Corder" and his victim Maria
Marten; also the figure of death and all the mipor cha-
, racters. The scenery, machinery, and decorations were then
seized and packed up, and, together with the audience, door-
keepers, money-takers, and "saloon" keeper, were taken to
the station-house, followed by an immense crowd of persons,'
and' the utmost - curiosity and interest were excited in the
neighbourhood, and the interior of the station-house had
the appearance of a strolling company's barn, in consequence
of the scenery, dramatic costumes, &c., with which it was
bestrewed, No less than 83 persons, men, women, and
Children, consisting of notorious thieves, young prostitutes,
dustmen, sweeps, and parties of the lowest and most debased
kind, were placed at the bar in "batches," and lo4ked up.
Mr. and Mrs. Poulter, who described themselves as come-
dians, it appeared were the " managers" of the company ; .
Henry Frazer, a bald headed old man, who said he travelled
with an exhibition, and was also a comedian, was one of the
principals ; he was recognised as a veteran showman at
Ilartholomew fair. Mr. Frazer, jun., was also a comedian,
who acted as door-keeper; Master Wildman, aged 13 years
(in theatrical costume and rouged), was the fidler ; and Mr.
Frederick Barnes and Mr. Sheppard displayed their talents
in gymnastics, legerdemain, the fantastic toe, and the vocal
department, and assisted in the scene shifting, machinery,
&c. They were all committed to durance vile. The taking
down .the names and charges, &c., -against them occupied
till a very late hour, and crowds of persons assembled round
the station-house, and remained a considerable time before
they were dispersed.
• SERIOUS. .ACCIDENT.-MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.-
Yesterday afternoon the inhabitants of Port-street were greatly
alarmed by a tremendous noise proceeding from an iron ware-
house, which is one of the most extensive in the town, and
occupied by Messrs. Horton, Simms, and Bull, proprietors of
the Swades-hill ironworks, Shropshire. It appears that
some men were in a large shed, the roof of winch is sup-
ported by ten iron pillars, against each of which large quan-
tities of iron were piled. The men were engaged 111 " sort-
, ing" the iron, and rearing it up against the pillars, when in
an instant, and without the least notice, one of the piles of
iron so laid up against the pillar gave way, and, falling in a
direction towards the next pillar, came in contact with and
carried it away ; the .second pillar, when it gave way in
the same manner carried off the third, and so on until
the whole of the five pillars went in succession, and ulti-
mately came in contact with the gable-end of the shed or
building, and drove the whole Old of the building, roof and
all, into the canal, which runs close to the warehouse. A
woman was standing on the opposite bank of canal with
a child in her arms; a large portion of the falling building
came upon her, threw her down, and dasited the child out of
her arms into the canal. On being extricated from the ruins
it was fatind that. her thigh-bone was broken, but the child
was got out of the water unhurt. A- gentleman who had just
entered the warehouse, to purchase some iron, was buried in
the ruins, and killed, on the.spot. Another person, named
Wilkinson, who was in the employ of the-company, vas also
'buried in the ruins and killed, having been most slq)ckingly
mutilated. There were five other persons in the shed at the
time, most of whom have received more or less injury, It is
rumoured that another man is still in the ruins.. The navi-
gation ,of the Rochdale and Manchester Canal is for the
present stopped by the rubbish. The amount of damage will.
not exceed 1,000/. '

THE HERALD, THE STANDARD, AND THE GQVERN-
. .
mEN'i.—Last night's Standard, in reference to Mr. Dnn-
combe's proCeedings in the House of Commons on Tuesday,
has the folloWing remarks in explanation of the chitirm of the
press to the Ministry of the day :—" Among a variety of
notices of motions given last night, by different Members of
the'Honse of Commons, is one by our old friend Mr.:Thomas
Slingsby Dunconibe, representative of the borough 'of Fins-
Wry, in which the Standard is concerned. The motion is
fbr a:return of all money paid to the proprietors, managers,
conductors, and 'agents of the Morning Herald and. Standard
newspapers, for the information furnished by them in refe-
rence to the late agitation in Ireland. How the Ministers
may treat That Motion .we. are, 'of course, unable to antic!
pate : but we could most earnestly wish her Majesty's ser-
vants may feel justified in granting the return. It is true
that; in every case in which we have beentin possession of
information that it might be important to the public service
to place in the bands of the Government,. whether such in-
fdrmation related to foreign Or domestic affairs, we hive been
careful so to place it, withorea, moment's .delay, because we
consider that our connexion with the press does not in any
manner release us from-the duty common to-all subjects."—
[This appears to be a rather novel exposition of the duties
of the press, and will at once explain the 'part which Mr.
Charles Ross undertook to perform as-the
,representative ,of
the Standard, and alSo the motive of the Herald in degrading
its correspondent; Mr.'JacksOn, from the honourable, positiOn
of a newspaperreporter, to the execrable'one of GoVernment
spy... The fault was with the Herald,. and not with its repre-
sentative. When journals, calling themselves respectable,
and' assuming Superlative morality, consider such dirty work
as this to be "duty," we leave it to the public to infer the
portion of confidence to be reposed in parties so' infamonaly
betrayhig a high vocation:]-11.foraing Adtertiser.' .

Yesterday we had a presence and a glass of -wine with the
illustrious General Toni Thumb, at his residenCe, 13, Grafton-
street, Bond-street, who is certainly one of the most minute
mortals in body, with a greater magnitude of mind than any
other. General, or any one of mankind generally, to whom
we have ever been .favoured with an , introduction. Ills
honour, we are informed, awaits the convenience of her Ma-
jesty to visit Windsor, and then to take his departure en
suite for Paris;. and, in the meantime, he sees company by
special invitation only, at his ' residence' as above, so, conse-
quently, we have experienced an especial indulgence in. being-
gra-tilled with an interview. with this distinguished pigmy
personage. The following is a brief :biography of the extra-
ordinary' being us furnished by his. guardian :—Charles S.
Stratton, known as General Tom ,ThuMb, was born :at
Bridgeport, • CenneCticut, United Statei, jiin. 11, 1832; ,is
consequently 12.yeare old: at the date- of:his memoir.. His
parents. are people of .the common size, with.nothing at 41
remarkable in their physical or mental organization. At his
birth the General, for by this title we must tall him, weghed
91bi: 20z., which is rather greeter than the average weight
•of children at their birth.. There were not extraordinary eir-•
eumatanoes attending his advent, or,;preceding it, and .he
was` censidered A very bandsoine,, hearty, • and promising.
bOy.' .Nothing remarkable Was noticed respecting him, until.
he lias about five months old, when •ho he weighed fifteen
pounds, about which time his parefits and their, neighbours
began to remark that he did-not 'continue; to .grow. Still
• there were no indicationsof disease—the child grew In stiatu--
riV.if net in dimensions,. and expecting that he. would soon
take a start, his parents theni little of the matter: Time
passed cm, hoWever, and the' General remained. in statu
grOwing remarkabi),*ong: inyfnl, Active,_ intelligent; and
handsome—increasing in vigorar and the manliness of 'Ms
proportions, but riot increasing one inch- in height, or .one
ounce in weight ; and it is proper to state thathe,haa always
enjoyed a 'fine appetite,. partaking freely of the ordinary
dishes foundupon the tables of the labouring classes, has
sound, refreshing sleep, and has always been in the most per-
fect health;With the exeeptions,Of those slight colds, Res, to
which the:best regulated constitutions- are sometimes liable.
Subsequent. to his birth, his parents have had two other
Children, who are now well grown and interesting girls, of
pine and seven years of age. There is nothing in his history
or appearance, or Of his family, -to give the least clue to the
astonishing.phenomena which- he exhibits." ' So far does the
guardian give his history: He is 25 inches high, and weighs
:15 lbs. 2 ounces; he' is twelve years of age, and is. as per--
reedy
,proportioned,..as symetrieally correct in form as the
ordinary yostitli of 18 or 19
years of age. He is playful in
his manner, acute in all his answers, very observant of all ,
that passeS or is said before him; and fakes part in light con-
versation, and even Vouchsafes to be jocular. It is usual
that mothers have.some reason-to assign for these freaks of
nature in their progeny, but It'wonld appear in this instance
Vie parent has no legend t• meet the curiosity of the inqui-
sitive. The were people of the working class. He
seems to be quite divested of the testiness of temper that
usually- is to be noticed 'in dwarfi—on the 'contrary, he is
exceedingly affable, excessively polite; and evinces much of
the finish of goodbreeding—this is saying a great deal for a
gentleman bred in: America, and one; too, *ho.boasts that he
,is Yankee by birth, Which is not selecting for himself the
greatest compliment an Amerfean would claim. 'He pos-
sessesgreat strength for his stature. He can carry about the
. elegant diminutive couch • upon which he lolls at his ease. He
seems to be cheerful and happy in company, is handsomely
dresSed in the costume of manhood, and has his fingers
studded with rings. He is, indeed,- altogether a very little
gem of hUmanity, With a comely countenance, and seemingly
a sound constitution.—.3forning Advertiser.
