IMPORTANT AND SALUTARY IMPROVEMENTS
have been introduced into the practice of Life Assurance by
this Company, and the following are some of its distinguishing
and important features, which have been introduced after
mature deliberation. They will be most conveniently pointed
out by referring to Policies, as divided into two great Classes
—FAMILY PROVISION POLICIES, and MONEY
TRANSACTION POLICIES.
FAMILY PROVISION POLICIES.— In the well-
founded belief that Life Assurance business is profitable, per-
sons making provisions for their families and contemplating a
long duration of time between the date of the Policy and the
claim to arise under it, generally prefer Assurances which may
carry with them a right to participate in the profits to be re-
alised by the Company during the currency of their Policies.
By the Deed of Constitution of this Company, the participa-
ting Assured are entitled to the Whole of the Mutual Profits, as
if they had been Assured in a purely Mutual Societ) ; and
they have, at the same time, the security not only of the funds
of the Company, arising from the accumulated premiums, but
also the proprietary funds and subscribed capital of the Com-
pany. To the Shareholders are alloted ONLY those profits
which are realised by the investment of their own paid capital,
and from the excess of the premiums derived from the nor,
participating Assurances. This mode of Division and Profits,
so advantageous to the Assured of the Participating Class, is
adopted only by this Company.
MONEY TRANSACTION POLICIES.—An acquain-
tar.ce with the records of the Courts of Law and Equity, provos
that considerable changes were required in the practice and
rules of Life Offices, to render this class of Policies
valid and unimpeachable documents of security, which no
foreseen circumstances or future accidents could invalidate.
' This Company has endeavoured, and they think successfully,
to render their Policies as indefeasible and negotiable secu-
rities as possible, consistently with a (hie regard to the safety of
the contracting parties; and to effect this object, the Company
has introduced the following clause into their Deed of Settle-
ment :
Clause 78.—" That every Policy issued by the Company
shall be indefeasible and indisputable, and the fact of the
issuing of the same shall be conclusive evidence of its validity,
and it shall nut be lawful for the Company to delay payment
of the money assured thereby, on the ground of any error, mis-
take, or omission, however important, made by or on the part
of the person or persons effecting the same, and that on the
contrary, the amount receivable under the same shall be paid
at the time stipulated by the Policy, to the person entitled
thereto, as if no such error, mistake, or omission had been made
or discovered, unless the Policy shall have been obtained by
fraudulent misrepresentation.
In order to provide against the defeat of a Policy in the
hands of a Creditor, by the Debtor, whose Life is Assured,
leaving the country, and going beyond the prescribed limits,
the Company grant what they term WHOLE WORLD PO.
LICIES, whereby, on condition of receiving an extra premium,
varying in amount according to the circumstances of the case,
but fixed and determined at the time of issuing the Policy,
the Debtor, on whose Life an Assurance has been effected. is
entitled to go to, or reside in any part of the world, without in-
validating the Assurance; by which means the Creditor's
claim is rendered certain.
To enable a party to effect an Assurance at the LEAST
POSSIBLE EXPENSE, and to entitle him to discontinue it
at a less sacrifice than by any other plan, a seven years' Half-
premium system has been introduced ; and, upon comparing
the following scale with any other which has been devised for
reducing present payments, it will be seen how much more
economically a loan transaction can be fortified by this kind
of policy than by any other. The Half-premium system pos-
sesses a further advantage over temporary Assurances, or those
for a Term of Years, from the Assured having the option of
continuing for Life the Policy which he may have procured for
a mere temporary purpose.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

THE OFFICE OF TOWN CLERK.

Yesterday Alderman WILSON called the attention of the
Cow t to a subject which he considered deeply affected the
privileges of the Members of the Corporation. It was well
knoen that much agitation had taken place with respect to the
filling up of the office of Town Clerk. No small trouble and
expense had been incurred by gentlemen who offered them-
selves as candidates, some of whim had withdrawn from the
contest, and a very unneeessaryAelay had taken place in the
proceedings of the Committee. He had himself taken some
trouble upon the occasion, in his anxiety to select the man best
qualified to discharge the duties of the office. By some meats
or other the person whom he had pointed to as the most admi-
rably adapted to the situation, after having secured
a considerab!e majority of votes, was compelled to with-
draw from the contest. He was certainly of opinion that
the gentleman to whom he alluded (Mr. Pearson) was
entrapped—(Hear, hear, and No, no)—and was most un-
fairly dealt with.—(Much confusion.) After that gentleman
had taken the pains to secure for himself a certainty of being
returned, an influential member of the Corporation obtained
from him an undertaking, that, in the event of a person of
superior rank and standing being found to offer himself for the
office, he would retire from the contest. Before application
was made to Mr. Pearson to retire, he had been allowed to
proceed with his canvas; and it was not until Sergeant Mere.
wether's" friends! found that their candidate had no chance
of success, that Mr. Pearson was called upon to yield. It was
aFeed by Mr. Pearsoa that the matter should be referred.
Iwo persons were accordingly appointed upon each side, and a
fifth was selected as umpire. fhe umpire was, he believed,
drawn from a hat, in which some names were shaken ;
and thus the privileges of the Corporation were most im-
properly and injuriously interfered with, as he could
most distinctly show before the Committee to which it was his
object to refer this matter. The first two individuals drawn
,declined to act as umpires, and the third happened to be op-
posed to Mr. Pearson, and accepted the office, and decided
accordingly. Now why should be ( Alderman Wilson) be de-
prived of 'his right of voting for the man he thought best
qualified for the office because of a private arrangement?—
( Hear, hear.) Or why were th*Members of that Court to
submit to have a person of whom they did not approve forced
down their throats ?—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and disappro-
bation.) He altogether reprobated such a proceeding, and he
moved, in accordance with the sentiments he expressed, the
following resolution :—" That one of the candidates for the
office of Town Clerk having withdrawn from the contest upon
the alleged ground of a decision by three of five referees,
whereby the privileges of this Court have lat en most impro-
perly interfered with, it be referred to a Special Committee of
this Court to inquire into and report thereon prior to fixing the
day of election to the office of Town Clerk."
Air. STACY seconded the motion. _ _

TION on SATURDAY MORNING the 28th of May, in the

his New Patented Improved Process. The acknowledged
su-
periority of Mr. CLAUDET'S PORTRAITS is due to the
surprising RAPIDITY of the PROCESS, which gives to
the Likeness the pleasing and unconstrained expression which
the Sitter can only assume during an INSTANTANEOUS

be easily rubbed off.
Mr. CLAUDET has also a peculiar process by which Na-
tural Colours are imparted.

Mr. IL L. JONES declared that there was not the slightest
grounds for supposing that there was anything like a violation of
the privileges of the Corporation, in any part of the transaction
to which their attention had been drawn.

NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR THE
EDUCATION OF THE POOR.
The annual meeting of this society was held yester-
day, at the Central Schoolroom, in the Sanctuary, West-
minster.
Amongst those present we noticed their Graces the
Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Lords Bishops
of London, Worcester, Bangor, Salisbury, Gloucester
and Bristol, Barbadoes, Winchester, Chester, Norwich,
and Gibraltar ; Archdeacons Manning, Wilberforce, and

taries of the London, Norwich, Salisbury, Cambridge,
Oxford, Bacdingham, Leicester, Bedford, and Lichfield
Boards of Lducation ; and Messrs. Lutwidge. Sanders,
Chester, Twining, Davis, Mattison, Deacon, &c.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presided.
After the usual examination of the children
The Rev. Mr. SINCLAIR, the Secretary, read the Re-
port, which stated that " In the disposal of your fund
for school-builling, the object which your Committee
have invariably kept in view has been to call forth the
largest possible amount of local efforts, and to produce
the greatest attainable extent of Church education.
The whole number of cases is 316 ; the total sum
granted is 15,8811. ; and the number of scholars &mom •
modated is 52,180, being a larger number by 11,907 than
in any preceding:year. As a proof of the inability now
existing, even in populous places, to supply school ac-
commodation of any kind, a clergyman near Manches-
ter, after stating that during the last eight weeks he
had been distributing provisions weekly to more than
1,000 persons,' thus proceeds—' My only school-room
is an empty cotton-mill, from which we are likely to be
ejected every moment, the mill being part of a bank-
rupt's estate. In this room, which contains neither
fire-place nor stove, we have assembled throughout the
winter 290 children. A great many more would have at-
tended,
if a fire could have been made in the room.'"
In many instances there are not any school-houses, and
instruction is now given in public-houses and beer-shops
Another communication stated, that "it was estimated
that in :the towns of Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge,
and Dukinfield, there was a population of nearly 60,000
within seven miles of Manchester. About 90 per cent.
of this population belonged to the working-classes. Now,
there was not for that enormous mass a single endowed
day-school, no national school, no Lancasterian school.
At the eastern extremity of Stalybridge a large school
was in the course of erection. In Dukinfield, with a
population of 20,000," continued the statement, " there
had never been a church or chapel belonging to the
Establishment. A church, however, was about to be
consecrated." With respect to the provision of educa-
tion for the children in mills and factories, the Report
said, " In the last Report, it was stated that your Com-
mittee had resolved on making more than ordinary ex-
ertions to provide the means of education for children
employed in :mills and factories—not so much with a
view of supplying the deficiency as of showing what
might be done, even under existing legal provisions, for
the moral and religious improvement of that unhappy
class. Your Committee have now to state, that their
experiment has been followed by the most gratifying re-
sults. The Factory Inspector for the West Riding of
Yorkshire (Mr. R. Saunders), after stating that the
number of factory children in his district amounts to
10,000, thus proceeds :—` The success which has at-
tended the exartions of the National Society in behalf of
factory children is veay encouraging. Nearly every fac-
tory child in the districts assigned to the Society's
schools at Leeds and Bradford now attends them. The
last official returns give about 180 in attendance at Leeds,
and nearly 300 at Bradford. No objection to the mode
in which these schools are conducted has been made
since they have been in full operation, either by a parent
or child.' "
The school-room which has been built by the Society
in the Manchester-road at Bradford. "is now attended
by 950 children on Sundays, and 330 on week-days."
In reference to the "Training Establishment," the Re-
port thus proceeded :
" Your Committee last year stated, that in accordance
with public opinion, preparations had been made to open
an establishment for training youths to be schoolmasters
at Stanley-grove, Chelsea, where an eligible site had
been purchased by the Society for that pui pose. Your
Committee have now to report, that the dormitory for
the accommodation of 56 pupils has been completed ;
that a chapel to contain 400 persons has been erected
and consecrated t and that a model school, as a place of
practical instruction for the pupils in the art of teach-
ing, is now in operation, and attended by 110 scholars.
The original outlay upon this establishment is large,
it exceeds 20,0001. But taking into account the extent
of ground purchased, the number of buildings to be erected
and fitted up, and the respectability of appearance
considered necessary in edifices of a somewhat collegiate
character, the society could not, perhaps, expect to do
so much on cheaper terms. The annual expense to
the society is estimated at 2,000/., and will be strictly
limited to that sum. The payments of pupils are
at the rate of 251. annually from each pupil
during his period of training, which, by recent arrange-
ments, may vary from one year and a half to three
years. Each pupil, alter a probation of three months,
is apprenticed to the Society till the completion of his
21st year. The number of apprentices is at present 35,
of whom 10 are entirely free, and 10 partly so, being
charged 15/. a year instead. of 251. For these exhibi-
tions, which were considered necessary at the opening of
the Institution, special grants have been voted.
On the motion of the Bishop of CHESTER, the Report
was adopted.
The Bishop of WORCESTER then moved the following
resolution :—" That the exertions of the Committee to
extend and improve elementary education, by providing
schools for children employed in mills and factories,
by establishing institutions for training young persons
to be schoolmasters and scqoolmistresses, and by sending
efficient teachers to organise schools in union with the
Society, have the entire concurrence of this meeting, and
form a new claim to support from the friends of cdu-
cation and of the Church." He said the children of the
manufacturing districts were peculiarly objects for the
consideration of that Society. He might here mention
that in the time of Edward VI. applications had been
made to the Crown for grants for the education of youth
from two particular places within his diocese. Of these
Birmingham was one. In the one case there was
awarded a grant of the annual sum of 20/., and in the
other, that of Birmingham, a grant of certain lands which
at that period yielded the like amount. But what was
the present relative positiOn of the two grants ? Why,
in the one instance the payment of the 201. a year was
continued, whilst in the other the grant of land produced
no smaller a sum than 8,000/. per annum. There was,
therefore, no lack of funds for the education of children
at Birmingham.
The resolution was agreed to.
Archdeacon WiLuEsttoncE moved—That the best
thanks of the meeting be conveyed to the Noblemen and
Gentlemen of the Committee appointed to collect sub-
scriptions in behalf of the Society, awl for their zealous
and unwearied exertions during the last three years to
enlarge the circle of its supporters."
After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting
operated,

After a lengthened.discussion, in which Mr. Stevens, Sir
William Hey gate, Sir Peter Laurie, and other Members
joined.
The Court divided, and the motion of Alderman Wilson was
carried by a majority of 12, the number being for the reference
to the Committee 61, against it 49.

RELIEF TO THE SUFFERERS BY THE CONFLAGRATION AT

lIAMBURGII.

Hamburgh.
Mr. R. L. JoN ES gave notice of a motion for votisg, 5001. to

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
CLERK I.:11'117E1J-

Joseph Bridges was charged with causing the death of Ann
Henley, by neglecting his coach and horses.
From the evidence of police constable Peck, and a publican
named Dale, it appeared that the }prisoner went to drink a pint
of beer at the Marquis of Cornwallis public-house, in March-
mont-street, Brunswick-square ; that he left the coach at the
door ; that the horses suddenly ran away, and that the de-
ceased, an infirm old woman, was run over, there having been
nobody left to take care of the horses. •
The deceased had been removed to the hospital, where she
died that morning, after sufferinc, great pain.
The prisoner stated that he hadr not been more than a minute
in the house when the accident occurred.' He was remanded
until further evidence could be obtained of a formal nature.
UNION-HALL;

William Plenty, a young man of respectable appearance, the
son of a woollen-draper on Holborn-hill, was brought before
Mr. Cottingham, charged with furiously riding and knocking
down Mr. Edward Coulson, aged 62, pariah clerk of St. Sepul-
chre's, and injuring him so severely, that he is not expected to
survive the accident.

Edward Col'son, a boy of between twelve and thirteen years
of age, on being sworn, stated that he was the son of Mr. Coul-
son, who was now lying in St. Bartholomew's Hospital. That
on the previous evening, at seven o'clopk, he went, accompanied
by his father, towards the Elephant and Castle, to witness the
arrival in town of the different vehicles from Epsom races.
When they got a short distance from the above inn they were
compelled to go off the footpath owing to the crowds going in
the same direction, and when they gotinto the road near New-
ington Church, he (witness) observed the prisoner coming
along on hot seback at a very rapid rate, and, before they
had time to get out of the way, his father was knocked
down by the horse and trodden upon. Witness did not
ob.erve the prisoner make any effort to pull up the ani-
mal either before or after the accident, but he was stopped
by a man, who caught hold of the reins, and held him
until a policeman came to the *Pot, when the prisoner
was taken into custody. The witness added that he was walk-
ing close by the side of his father when he was knocked down,
and it was only extraordinary that he (witness) escaped from
bang rut' over at she name time. His father was carried to the
residence of a so geon near the spot, and on examining him it
was found that he had received such serious injuries that his
instantaneous removal to Bartholomew's Hospital was cone-
dered necessary.
The prisoner said that no person could regret the accident
more than he did; that he was on his return from Epsom, and
that the horse took fright, and he lost all control of him, and
that was the cause of the accident. •

He then called two witnesses, who stated that he appeared,
when they saw him, to have lost all control over his horse, and
that after the accident they saw him try to pull up the animal,
but failed until he got between some carts, when the reins were
seized as already described.
Mr. COTTINGHA3I said that the certificate described Mr.
Coulson to be in great danger, and that, of course, he could
not decide the case until it was ascertained what was likely to
be his fate.

The MAGISTRATE then adjudged the prisoner to enter into
his own recognizance in the sum of 1001., and find two sureties
of 501. each, to appear on a future day to answer the charge.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS,
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TINIES.—The East India Company have raised the rate of
paper upon Calcutta to 2s. ld. ; a rate which is considered so
high in the monetary circles, that it is thought it will occasion
a drain of bar-silver upon this country, which will be parti-
cularly inconvenient, as that sort of bullion is by no means in
abundance.
Money is rather easy to-day, owing, it is said, to the return
from Hamburgh of many of the sovereigns which, at the first
alarm of the tire, were taken there by the merchants connected
with that place. As they found their connexions in a less
necessitous condition than they had anticipated, much of the
money has been sent back.
SUN.—The settlement yesterday passed off easily. The open-
ing price of the present account was 91%, 91:i, which in the
course of the next fortnight gradually rose to 9314, from which
it as gradually declined to 924, and has since remained almost
stationary. Thus, in the absence of any sudden or violent
fluctuations, and this abundance of money, the difference of
one per cent. between the prices of to-day, and those of the
14th April, could scarcely tail of being satisfactorily adjusted.
Prices at the close of the market were—Consols for Money,
92i 92i and 934 931 for the Opening, 15th July. Bank
Stock, 167 168; India Stock, 2491,4 250%; Exchequer-bills,

terday. London and Birmingham, 179 181 ; Birmingham and
Gloucester, 50 52; Great Western, 91,92 ; the Halt Shares,

forth can be verified, not without reason. It is said that the
Government through its agents, have already brought up a
very large portion of the debt, leaving the amount now to be
provided for comparatively small, and that the revenue yields a
considerable increase over the expenditure, if such be so, the
propositions ought not to be accepted.
