cember of the present year.
This Institution offers many important and substantial advan-
tages with respect both to Life Assurances cad Deferred Annuities.
The assured has, ou all occasions, the power to borrow, without ex-
pense or forfeiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the premium paid,
(see table) ; also the option of selecting benefits, and the conversion
of his interests to meet other conveniences or necessity. Assurances
for terms of years are granted on the lowest possible rates.

The plan of this Office will be found to comprise all the solid ad-
vantages of Life Assurance.
Persons have the option of Insuring upon the Return or Non-
Return Systems ; and the Tables, which include Ascending and De-
scending Scales of Premium, have been formed to suit the con-
venience of all parties.
The Rates have recently been reduced agreeably to the most ap-
proved calculations ; they are also verified by the experience of the
Office during forty years, are as low as consistent with safety ; those
adapted to the RETURN SYSTEM entitle its assured to an equitable
participation in the surplus premium, according to the plan detailed
in the Company's Prospectus.
The• Assured under both Systems will possess the guarantee of a
large Paid-up Capital, and the further security of a responsible body
of Proprietors, without being exposed to the liabilities of partnership.
Policies are purchased on liberal terms when the object of an
assurance is effected ; or, loans will be granted thereon to the extent
of five-sixths of such purchase-money.
Prospectuses and every information obtained on application at the
Offices as above, or to the Agents of the Company appointed in every
city and principal town in the kingdom.

necessary outlay in the first instance,—the contract being continued
year by year, whatever the future health of the assured (after the
primary examination), at a stipulated slight increase of premium,
little exceeding the price of an ordinary term insurance, up to the
age of 70, when the rate remains stationary.

CAUTION TO TRADESDIEN.—Anattempt was made
on Wednesday to swindle Messrs. Hunt and Rosteel,
goldsmiths and jewellers, New Bond-street, by means of
a spurious cheque on Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith
for 200 L A person entered the shop under pretence of
wishing to purchase some fashionable jewellery. He de-

REVELATIONS OF RUSSIA.--There is no country
in the world about which England ought to know so
much, and does in reality know so
little, as about the
vast empire of the Czar, the principle on which it is go-
verned, and the desires and designs of those who govern
it. With one sole exception, the writing travellers of
the last twenty years have appeared to conspire together, !
as if by common consent, to blind. Europe—and Eng-
land in particular—to the real views and objects of that 1
vast despotism which has reached its acin6, in the person
At lengthan ` • person
of the Emperor Nicholas.
and one who appears to have had unequalled means and
facilities for observation, has dared to speak the truth
about Russia, her government, her institutions, and the
fearful results to which they tend, fearful no less for
Europe than for her own people. These " Revelations
of Russia," just published, are the most startling dis-
closures of the kind that have ever been put forth, and
is the socialb
so intense and stirring and political interest
mixed up with them, that the
withook has all the excite-
ment of a romance, combined all the homefelt inte-
rest of what it evidently is—ae history.
The cheap trips on railways are becoming so
common, that soon, probably, we shall cease to think any-
thing about the matter. On Thursday, the Madrigal So-
ciety, of Manchester, took a trip to Alderly, that well-
noted rendezvous on the Manchester and Birmingham
Railway, at which place the members enjoyed them-
selves, as well as gratified many others, by singing many
of their choicest songs. The day was spent in the ut-
most possible harmony, The fare both ways was only
Is. 6d. The railway companies no doubt find cheap
fares beneficial,—Lcals Mercury.

LLOYD'S SHIPPING.
NOTICE TO MARINERS.
LIGHTHOUSE ON THE ISLAND OF BANGOE.
The following has been received at Lloyd's:—
"Admiralty, Aug. 15, 1844.
" Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, to transmit to you herewith, for the
information of the Committee for managing the affairs
of Lloyd's, copies of the translation of two notices re•
ceived from her Majesty's Consul at Elsinore; one re
specting a light in the island of Bangoe, in the Little
Belt, and the other describing two new beacons, to be
exhibited in the Lyse Sound, in the Cattegat.—l am,
Sir, your most obedient servant,
(Signed) " SIDNEY HERBERT.
" To Wm. Dobson, Esq., secretary, Lloyd's."
(TRANSLATION.)
" The light on the island of Bangoe between Assens
and Aroesund, established for the guidance of the
packets crossing the Little Belt, which had hitherto lit
up the passage only south of that island, will, within
the present summer, be raised five feet higher, in a
lantern at the top of the lighthouse ; the lighthouse
will thereby come visible from all sides, except in the
direction of about N.E. by E., in which direction it
would be concealed a short way by Bangoe town during
the progress of the works connected with this contem-
plated change, which will prevent the original light
from being shown for a time. Light will be afforded by
a large lantern with reflection, which will be fixed at
the same height,_ and will light in the same direction as
the red light.

South of the buoy B, at a distance of from 5 to 6,000
feet, runs the strand of Minser-Olde-Oog, 4 fathoms
depth, close to the marked course, and in the direction
rem F to the Bremerbache to the width of the river is
only 5,000 feet, there being only two sands E.N.E. of

2i, and 11- fathoms.
Of these buoys, the one marked Jahell will remain
moored during the winter ; the buoys: 2 to 7 will be re-
placed in the beginning of November by Bojin, the
buoys 8 to 12 will be then removed altogether. All the
buoys removed in November will be replaced in spring,
as soon as the weather permits of it.
In order to cover the expenses of these buoys, a ton-
nage of eight groten (gold) for each oat last of the
burthen of a vessel entering the Jahell, will be levied.
Such tonnage must be paid to the receiver appointed by
the bailiship of Minsen by all vessels of five oat lasts
and upwards, whether they seek a place of refuge, or
freight, or to discharge their cargo, if they come_toan
anchor in the Jahell south of the black buoy yaiSuwit
' No. 7, or if they visit a port or creek o he
' Each vessel will, however, only once a year be liable to
pay tonnage.
' All bailiships bordering on the Jahell aro hereby
ordered, at the request of the lawful receivers of such
' tonnage, to assist in levying it in the same manner as
other public taxes, and to decide on cases of dispute ac.
' cording to the foregoing regulations. From the do-

cision of such bailiships, an appeal can only be made to
the Government.

ANOTHER CASE OF PIRACY AND
SUPPOSED MURDER.

Within the last day or two letters have been re-
ceived from Dundee, communicating to the under-
writers information respecting the brig llannah, be-
longing to that port, from which strong suspicions are
apprehended that the captain, Mr. Lowther, was mur-
dered by the crew, for the purpose of possessing them-
selves of the vessel and cargo, but afterwards their
plans were frustrated :by the ship becoming leaky.
The particulars, it appears, were brought over by the
llibernia, steamer, from the Lloyd's agent at Quebec,
and are as follows :

On the morning of Monday, the Bth of last month,
when the barque Scotland, William Hamilton, bound
to Quebec, was within ten hours' sail of that port, two
boats were discovered several miles to the leeward.
The captain, suspecting they belonged to some ship-
wrecked vessel, immediately bore down and picked
them up, when he ascertained that they belonged to
the brig Hannah, of Dundee. The boats contained
seven men, and the statement they made to Captain
Hamilton was to this effect :

They stated that on the night of the sth the
Hannah encountered a heaVy gale of wind, and on the
following day it was found she had sprung a leak,
for there was upwards of two feet of water in her
hold. They all turned to the pumps, and finding,
after twenty-four hours pumping, that the water,
instead of diminishing, had increased several feet,
they urged Captain Lowther to take to the boats,
which he refused, saying there was a chance of saving
the vessel, and that he should not leave her.
There being nine feet of water in the hold then,
they determined to leave the vessel, and launch
ing the two boats, which was all the ship pos-
sessed,
they jumped in and left her, leaving the cap-
tain, without any possible means of escape, on board.
It was then twelve o'clock at night, and at daybreak
the following morning they looked round, in the
hopes of seeing the ship, but she was nowhere to be
seen. Captain Hamilton, suspecting the truth of
these statements, resolved, the moment he reached
Quebec, to acquaint the magisterial authorities, upon
which a brief inquiry was instituted, which resulted
in the committal of the whole of the ship's crew of
the Hannah to the Penitentiary, the magistrates
having a strong belief that some foul play had been
perpetrated on board. A few days after their
committal, a vessel that had put into Quebec re-
ported that the wreck of the Hannah had been dis-
covered on the banks of the Anticosti, and that it had,
he believed, been taken in tow by another vessel, to
bring her into that port. Her arrival naturally was
looked for with intense interest, and on the 28th the
Hannah was brought safely into Quebec, with very
little damage. It is needless to say that the unfor-
tunate master, Captain Lowther, was not to be found,
nor any of the ship's papers. The prisoners were to
undergo a second examinatiou on the 12th inst., and
in the meanwhile every possible inquiry was to be
made. The Hannah was heavily laden, but the na-
ture of her cargo is not mentioned.

THE WEDNESBURY MURDER.-
EXECUTION OF THE CULPRIT, BEARDS, AT
STAFFORD.

Saturday morning, at eight o'clock, the extreme
sentence of the law was carried into effect at the
Stafford County gaol, on William Beards, who was
found guilty at the late assizes, of the murder of Eli-
zabeth Griffiths, at the village of Wednesbury, on
Saturday, the 16th of last March.
Late on Friday evening the doomed culprit expressed
himself as being at peace with the world, and pre-
pared to die. He retired to rest apparently much
composed, and at an early hour rose. He was imme-
diately joined by the Reverend Ordinary, who re-
mained in earnest prar} er until the arrival of the
Sheriffs and other official authorities. Ile repeatedly
thanked them for the extreme kindness they had
shown to him, and again acknowledged the justice of
his sentence.

He was conducted to the scaffold, erected on the
summit of the front of the gaol, the open space be-
neath containing an immense multitude. The execu-
tioner having adjusted the rope, the Rev. Gentleman
commenced reading that beautiful prayer in the burial
service, " In the midst of life," at the conclusion of
which the fatal bolt was withdrawn, and, :after a few
seconds, the wretched murderer ceased to exist. His
body having hung the usual time, it was cut down,
and interred within the precincts of the prison.
