from proprietary and partly from mutual societies, thereby affording
to the assured bonuses, reduction of future premiums, and complete

RELATING TO THE PRISONER WHO. HAS BEEN TAKEN.
The head of the department will treat him with kind-
ness and politeness.

The soldiers will serve him in every necessary way,
sweep his room, make his bed, and keep everything
clean—each thing necessary for a, prisoner of distinction
will be done.
The jorisoner will have light • from five saw, till eight
P.M., when at gun-fire the light will be put out. At
eight o'clock in the morning a basket can be sent, con-
taining meat, clothes, dressing things, books, &a.: at
four P.M. a second basket may be,sent, when the first
shall be returned. Neither strangers nor any of the
family of the prisoner can communicate in person with
him. The baskets will pass through the soldiers, under
the inspection of the commander. All letters addressed
to the prisoner must pass through the hands, and under
the inspection, of the- commandant in particular, who, on
seeing them, and that they contain nothing wrong, will
let them pass. If the hours fixed on to take things to
the prisoner be convenient they will continue, if not, they
can be changed, Or anything more by applying to the
particular commandant,
near the Blakans—such persons will be ordered off.
The sergeant on duty will not suffer any one to come
It is expressly ordered to the sergeant of the prison-
house not to allow the person bringing • the basket to
mount up the stairs or to see the prisoner, neither to
enter inside nor to speak through the bars.
The man named Lilleur will attend each day at eight
and four o'clock to expl,.ii to Mr. Pritchard any wishes
he may have to give to the people at the prison-house.

fine players, and who were in the country, requesting that
they would have the kindness to hasten up to London to
supply the vacancies which had been created by these defec-
tions. Fortunately the players were " put in" first, and time
was therefore gained, so .as to enable hini to fill up his
eleven by the substitution of Mr. E. Pickering, who came
off from Eton, Mr. Dolignan, and Mr. Campbell. As was
stated in our paper of Monday, the betting was five to three
on the Players, and the difficulty which had fallen upon the
secretary, ere the game had commenced; caused those odds
to be increased rather than diminished. The Players went
in the first, and after the exhibition of some very beautiful
hitting scored 130 runs. The Gentlemen then took the bat,
and when " time" was called had made 80 runs with the loss
of seven wickets. The play of Mr. Spencer, Mr. Taylor,
Mr. A. Myfin, Mr. Pickering, and Mr. Kynasten, elicited, re-
peated demonstrations of applause, as, indeed, did that of.
Wenmau, Dorrington, Sewell, and Bushby. The hitting by
these parties was as brilliant as any we remember to have
seen. The match was resumed yesterday.
PAUL'S. WHARF REGATTA.—The public were on
Monday entertained with the novelty of a four-oared cutter
match, introduced to their notice under the ordinary regula-
tions of a stair's wager, the competitors, however, being
landsmen instead of watermen. The contest was for a boat
and other prizes, given by the inhabitants of Paul's. Wharf,
.
Thames-street, and its vicinity. The race was with six
boats, in three heats, -the distance being from Blackfriars-
bridge to a boat moored off the Tenrple, down round the boat
moored off Allhallows'-stairs, up again to the. Temple, and
back to Paul's Wharf. In the grand heat White took the
lead, Red being second, and Yellow third, in the inside place.
In rowing up Red touched Green on their quarter and turned
them round ; and almost immediately afterwards Yellow also
passed Green, without fouling. In rounding the upper fiag-
boat off the Temple, Red were in advance, and Yellow slightly
fouled them ; Red, however, were more assisted than other-
wise by the-foul; 'and Yellow getting too near the station-
boat, the warp by which she was anchored caught Yellow
under the rudder, and held them while the other boats passed.
Red won by about six boats' lengths ; Green was second:
White third.
PITMEN'S STRIICE.—Wre regret to state that the
strike still continues without any material change, for though
on the one hand, we hear of additional numbers going to
work, on the other the general spirit of the strike seems as
unbroken as ever, and the determination to hold out, on the
part of the great body of the men, as unlike giving way as it
was three months ago. This distressing state of affairs can-
not, however lait mirchilonger—it must, as a matter of ne-
cessity, be brought to a close shortly by one means or another,
and the longer that is delayed the greater will be tht suffer,
ing and bad consequences resultin from

THE LATE TESTIMONIAL TO

MR. BENJAMIN WEBSTER.

The following speech was delivered by Mr. B. Webster,
at the Haymarket Theatre, on Saturday night, on the
occasion of the presentation of an elegant epergne to the
above-named gentleman :
" Ladies and Gentlemen,—l am not much addicted to
speaking in the situation of a public man, except as an
actor, for there are certain events in, auman's life that
language cannot express. In that situation I am now
placed by your kindness.—(Applause.) If anything on
earth could enhance the value of this memorial of my
humble exertions, it is that you have selected as the
organ of your gift the mother of the stage, the most ac-
complished actress that ever adorned the profession in
this country—Mrs. Glover.—(Cheers.) In my boyhood, I
looked on her with reverence, and in my more mature
years I look on her with delight to find that added years
only shed more lustre on her talent. I have, and I own it
with pride, endeavoured to make the little theatre in the
Haymarket a home for English actors and authors. Your
zealous co-operation has enabled me to do so successfully ;
and while I live to conduct it, it shall be an English thea-
tre to the backbone. My excellent friend, Mrs. Glover,
among other kind expressions, spoke of my dear
children. (Mr. Webster here paused for a time, ap-
parently overcome by his feelings). They shall not be
left with a bad name—(Cheers)—they shall be able to
look at this token of their father's exertions with honest
pride, or your valued present shall never be bequeathed
to them. I stated at the commencement, Ladies and
Gentlemen—my family I might say with more propriety
—(Applause)—that I was unable to do justice to my
feelings. I now repeat it. This is an era in my lite
that must ever be held in my. most grateful recollection,
and I can only say in conclusion, Ladies and Gentlemen,
friends, and brother and sister artists—thank you, thank
you, and God bless you all."
Mr. Webster, at the conclusion of his address, was
greeted with loud applause ; and Mr. Strickland, Mr.
Buckstone, and Mrs. Glover, shook him warmly by the
hand, and some laughter was excited by the manner in
which Mr. Webster, in returning the compliment, saluted
the lady.
Mr. Webster then proposed the health of his estimable
friend Mr. Carter, the treasurer, in a feeling speech,
which was responded to with great enthusiasm.
