The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo-
ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as-
sured—a result, it is believed, far more, favourable to the as-
sured than any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premiuu,s charged by this Corporation are
taken into consideration.

The next division of life profits will take place in I:l'.cember,

SEVENTH EDITION.

The plentiful me of sugar' in diet is one nr. the bass
preventives that has ever been discovered for the diseases
a Melt are produced by worms. Nature seems to have
planted a love ,for this aliment in all children, as if it
were on purpose to defend them from those diseases.. Dr.
flesh knew a gentleman in Philadelphia, who early
adopted this opinion, and who, by indulging a large
flintily in the use of sneer. has preserved them all from
the diseases usually occasioned by worms. lt was for-
merly alleged that the eating of sugar destroys the
colour and spoils the teeth. This proves to be a mis-
take. fur no people on earth col id have finer teeth than
the negroes in Jamnien.
• "In the West Indies," says Dr. Mosley, " the negro
children, from crude vegetable diet, are much afflicted
with worms. In crop time, when the canes are ripe,
these children are always sucking them. Give a negro
infant a piece of sugar cane to suck, and the impoverished
milk of his mother is tasteless to him. This salubrious
luxury soon changes his appearance ; worms are dis-
charged ; his enlarged belly and joints diminish ;' his
emaciated limbs increase ; and if canes were always ripe
he would never be diseased. I have often seen old wasted
scabby negroes crawl from the bottom houses, apparently
half dead, in crop time, and by sucking canes all day
long, would soon become strong, fat, and sleeky. The
restorative power of sugar in wasted and decayed habits
is recorded by several physicians in different parts of the
world. I have known many persons far advanced in
pulmonary consumption recovered by the juice of the
sugar cane."
Mr. Edwards, in his " History of the West Indies,"
has very justly observed that the time of crop in the
sugar islands, is the season of festivity to man and beast.
So palatable, salutary, and nourishing, is thej nice of the
cane, that every individual of the animal creation, drink-
ing freely of it, derives health and vigour from its use.
The meagre and sickly amongst the negroes exhibit a
surprising alteration in a few weeks after the mill is set
in action. The labouring hOrses, oxen and mules,
though almost constantly at work during this season, yet
being indulged with plenty of green tops of this noble
plant, and some of the scurnmings from the boiling-house,
improve more than at any period of the year. Even the
pigs and poultry fatten on the refuse.
After these observations on the virtue of sugar, we
can scarcely be surprised at the increased consumption of
this valuable article. It preserves the juices and sub•
stances of fruits in all countries and in all seasons. It
of fords a delicious seasoning to many kinds of food. It is
made into the most agreeable and ornamental decorations
for the table, being easily made transparent and of any
colour or shape, and retaining and giving taste without
losing the least of its sweetness. It is useful in phar-
macy, for it unites with medicine and greatly removes its
disagreeable flavour; it is the basis of all syrups, and
may be beneficially employed iu fermeating wine. It
preserves_ both animal and vegetable substances from pu-
trefaction in a much greater degree than the common
alimentary salt. 'Animal flesh has been preserved by
sugar more than three years without taint or rottenness.
—Phillips's Historylf Cult;rated Vegetables.
Sugar is very soluble in water, and is a good medium
for uniting that fluid with oily matters. It is much
used for domestic purposes, anti appears on the whole to
be a valuable and wholesome article of food, the uses of
which, are most probably restricted by its high price.
This price, may, in a certain degree, arise from the na-
ture of the article and its original cost, but it is no doubt
in a great measure, owing to the inhuman and waste•
ful culture by slaves, and the absurd principles of Eu-
ropean colonization duties, drawbacks, anti bounties,
which have the effect to create unnatural monopolies,
and to prevent commerce from finding its level.
This is eminently the ease with regard to our \Vest India
Islands and their produce.—tire's Dictionary of j
Chemstry.

Sugar .has now become an essential part of the food
of Europeans. It contains, perhaps, a greater propor-
tion of nourishment than any other vegetable substance
in the same bulk. It has the advantage of most other
articles of food in not being liable to be injured by time,
or by the. weather. If we behove Dr; Rush, the plentiful
use of it is one of the best preventatives of the diseases
occasioned by worms. It has long been supposed to in-
jure the teeth, but the prejudice is now given up. It.
has the property of preserving other vegetable sub-
staves from putrefaction, and accordingly is often em-
ployed for that purpose, constituting the base of con,
serves, &c.—Thom.sm's Chemistrp.
Sugar is said to contain more nutriment in a given
bulk than any other substance. For this and other
reasons, it would be a fitting article, when corn is scarce,
for feeding cattle. if Government would remit the duties.—
Parke's Chemical Exsais.

The theatrical performers at Bath are reduced to
such a State of destitution, owing to the total failure of
the season, that it has been found necessary to have a
play, and make an appeal to the public on their behalf.
Mr. Charles Kean was applied to on the occasion, but
being unable to attend and act, as req tested, he sent
twenty pounds for their benefit.

-UTILITY OF SUGAR.
While most ether tastes are acquired by early habit,
long custom, and often eriginate in necessity or the
caprice of fashion, the love of sweets is natural not
only to man but to animals that are not carniveraus.
Fosvls, reptiles, and insects seek greedily for the
saccharine particles of vegetables. The American
parroquet taps with its beak the maple tree to obtain
its sugar ; the fly pierces for the :erne purpose the
Turkey fig ; the bee hunts for the nectar of flowers;
and our oxen fatten in sweet pastures. Sweets are
among the blessings of the promised land. "I will give
you a land flowing with milk and honey." When
the Israelites murmured for want of bread, the Almighty
gave the manna, and the taste of it was like- wafers
made with honey. "And Moses said unto them, this is
tthe bread which the Lord has given you to eat ; and
the children of Israel did eat manna forty years."
Lord Bacon observes, " There are three things in use
fur sweetness—sugar, honey, end manna." lie adds,
" Sweer was scarce known to the ancients, and in little
mote." We may safely conclude thet the sweetness of the
vane was discovered and appreciated many ages prior to
the making of sugar. The sweet cane is mentioned in
the Old Testament in a manner which suggests that
this kind of sweet was not altogether unknown to tht.
encient Jews, but that it formed a. part of the costly
rarities used in their religions ceremonies and sacrifices.
-Moses. was commanded to make the holy anointing ea
of Nee myrrh, sweet cinnamon,- and sweet calamus.
The preephet Jeremiah eays " To what purpose cornetts,
these tci me, incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane
from a far country." " Thou hest bought me Wes sweet.
cane svith mousy, neither bast thou tilled me with the
fat of thy sacrifices.'
Front these accounts it appears certain that the sugar
cane has been known from the most ancient time in
Asia, and that during the greatness of Rome it appears
-to have been imported into Europe, principally as a me-
dicine, and by it very circuitous channel. In the pro-
gress of the subsequent ages the plant. itself became
known in Europe,. and was eultivated in Sicily and in
Spells previously to the discovery of America, -
We hare 'already observed that sugar was first. used
. as a medicin-e-in Europe, it next became a substitute fine
honeyeend we are informed that before kitchen gardens
became known in Europe (which was about the year
1509), sugar was eaten with meat to correct its
putreseeney. Gerard. after stating the medicinal virtues
of sugar says, "or the juice of the reede is made the
most pleasant and profitable sweet, called sugar, whereof
is made au infinite confections, confectures, soapes, and
such like, as also preseruing, and conserving of sun-
drie fruits, herbes, and flowers as roses, violets, rose-
mary flowers, and such like, which still retain with them
the name of sugar, as sugar of roses, sugar of violet," &c.
Sugar is now scarcely deemed a luxury, even by the
cottager ; habit has made it one of the necessaries of life,
and few, if any, civilized people would be content to live
without it ; for in addition to the quantity consumed at
our tea-table, and in our confectionary and pastry, it
forms the basis of all our made wines, is often used as a
composition in our malt liquors, and the distillers draw
great quantities of spirits from it. The farmer often
uses it to fatten his Christmas ox, and its use has even
descended to the blacking of our shoes.
Sugar, says Dr. Rush, " affords the greatest quantity

I may have had a copy of the agreement, but it has been taken

What attorney made cut the agreement you refer to, and

agreement, as Mr. Davis got it done himself. I gave no in-

that it was not me father-in-law who paid that sum to me. I

When was tins power of attorney prepared ?—I should say
about a month after the assignment. I cannot say where it

ktinw by whom, nor what has since become iu it.

Mr. Commissioner Ev is the use of your swear-
ing in this reckless manner, and saying-that yen had nothing
to do with 'it, when in your letter-book,are copies of crow .s Of
letters, since 1 41, when the assignment was made, showing
that you were the. May person who had anything to do with
it ; and here, again, I find another. letter, in which Patten
states that he will pay certain debts, out of the moneys which
be has belonging to you (the bankrupt). However, I think
there is no use in wasting time or paper in taking flown any-
thing more of so extraordinary an examination, as it is quite
clear that. the creditors must get the win-le of this property-
back. It will be much better foe you, Bankrupt, totell the
truth.

The fifuilrupt —My housekeeper, Sir, can testify to the ex-
istence of Mr. Davis.

Mr. Commissioner EVANS—What ! do you mean to tell me
that you have known a man for twenty years, and now know
notling of his residence, his occupation, or his friends?
cannot believe such a story. However, after all the extraor-
dinary statements which we have heard, we must dispose of the
petitioning creditor's debt before we proceed further, and see if
there be a bona fide Sat, or no fiat.
_ _ _

Several credit Ors said that they would take care that there
was a good fiat, and the further hearing was adjourned.

was brought up for further examination, charged with uttering
counterfeit money.
Mr. George Bristow., the landlord of the King's Head,
public-house in Crown-street, Soho, stated that about twelve
o'clock on the night of the :Stet of May last, the prisoner came
to his bar with the child in her arms, and called for a giateEr
gin, and tendered in payment for it a shilling, which he being
very latisy at the instant, his house being about to be cleared,
changed without looking at it, and the prisoner went away, but
immediately afterwards he discovered it to be a bad one ; and
having put a private mark on it, kept it apart from other
moneys. On the 2d inst., the prisoner came again and tendered
another shilling which he on the instant discovered to be a
counterfeit one, and calling in the police, gave the prisoner into
custody. She was searched, but no other bad money was found
about her,
Mr. Powell, the solicitor to the Mint, identified the prisoner
as a well.known smasher.
She was committed to take her trial at the ensuing sittinzs
of the Central Criminal Court.

had had noless than 13 counterfeit shillings offered at his bar.

• SABDATH 011SER VANCE Is SCOTI.AND.—AIIOther
of those scenes which are disgracing the sister-kingdom
of Scotland, and arising out of the unhappy Kirk ques-
tion, occurred on Sunday last at Stranraer, a large and
populous town in the south-west part of that country.
The minister of the place had been deposed by the
General Assembly, because he had applitcl for an inter-
dict aO-ainst the Presbytery proceeding against him in
an ecclesiastical suit, until a complaint that the Court
had become vitiated by admitting those to sit in it
who had no legal right to do so should be dis-
posed ef, and which interdict he had obtained. On
the sentence of deposition being passed, the same
reverend gentleman had recourse to the Civil Court to
interdict its intimation by any of • the ministers of the
Presbytery ; and this interdict was obtained and duly
served on the reverend gentlemen constituting that
body. It has been broken by more than one of them ;
and one of these flagrant violations of the law occurred
on Sunday last in the public street of Stranraer, where
the people were collected together, the doors of the
church having been kept shut under directions from
Edinburgh. This breach of the law will be immediately
followed up by a complaint to the Court of Session, and
an opportunity %%ill he, given to this Court to vindicate
its insulted authority as may appear to it. most proper
and expedient. Had not the minister, who will trobably
soon be found standing at the bar of the Court of Session
as a criliinal, complied with the edict of the Assembly,
and intimated the sentence of deposition,. notwithstand-
ing the interdict of the Court of Session, th!:,-,x;oftc fats
which- has overtaken his brother of Stranraer, ifinst have
reached himself, and deposition from the holy office of
the ministry been his reward.: Such are the fruits, even
already ref...ping, front the " ruedness" that now " rates
the hour" in the Kirk. 14 it possible that her 3.la,jesty'a
Government can any lougor refrain from interfering

of hcniars huilr were a puppet-show to sate the " curiosity" of
