All the advantages peculiar to mutual Life Assurance, aris-
ing from a division amongst the assured of the whole of the
mutual Profits, and that security and freedom from responsibi-
lity which Proprietary Companies can alone afford, are com-
bined by the constitution of the London, Edinburgh, and
Dublin Life Assurance Company, which is the only guaranteed
Mutual Society. The rates of premium are somewhat lower
than in most of the mutual offices, and for the non-participating,
and for those who effect assurances for temporary purpoars, or
debtor and creditor transactions, Tables of Premium have been
prepared, by which a less immediate payment is required than
by any other plan.
By a half premium credit system one-half of the premium.
may be retained for the first seven years, and repaid at the con-
venience of the assured: and by the Ascending Scale a greatly
diminished rate of premium is required for the first twelve years.

SPORTING.
The past has been a great week for Newmarket.
I think I never saw such an attendance of gentlemen
and so many of the . Manchester division. I have
been trying to discover why the latter should be
such a hot-bed for sportsmen ; manufacturers usually
hoard their ill-gotten.gains, risking not one penny but
with the certain return of two. This is quite contrary
to the nature abetting men, a valuable body to the pro-
prietors of race-horses. Few men in the world could
stand the expenses of breeding and training, was
them no more money to be won than the stake run for,
yet there are boobies in the world who endeavour
(God help them, for help they want) to write down
Tattersall's and the whole system of betting, as if
betting was not . an indispensable adjunct to horse..
racing. As I have not yet-found out why they bet so
much more at -Manchester than they do at Liverpool
or Leeds, I'll be like Victorine—l'll sleep on it.
The fates decreed us no less than seven races on
Monday, commencing very properly with a dead heat;
so dissatisfied, I must add, were both parties with this
result, that a long argument ensued whether it
should not be run again after the other races, or on
Wednesday. Out of the seven running for the Handi-
cap three were roarers. The distemper too often ter-
minatesj thus. Jeremy Diddler won in a canter, there-
fore by public running is the speediest horse in train-
ing. The grand match, 5001., all the money, now
came off, and, as I was fortunate enough to predict,
Dr. Caius won in a canter. To our utter dismay-
immediately afterwards the horse was declared not to
start for the Cesarewitch. Now, had St. Francis
been handicapped for the latter race his weight would
have been at least 9st. 121 b. What, then, would have
been the odds against him had he only carried Bst 101 b.?
The reader may now see whether or no I was justi-
fied in selecting Dr. Caius to win the great race. I
maintain he would have won. Of course, Blue
Bonnet directly advanced in the favour of the public,
and as little as 8 to 1 was taken. As no less than
thirteen started for the Nursery Plate, I can only say
to the handicapper, whoever he may be, fbr the
Nursery Stakes, beware ? Some young horses run
amazingly raw the first time they start. We had two
remarkable instances of this in Assassin and Little
Wonder. John O'Gaunt was beat very easy by Dis-
cord. The public seemed to forget the Cambridge-
shire Stakes last year altogether. Some cf the best
matches we have had at Newmarket this season were
run to-day. The Palace Stable, thanks alone due to
the Gallant M.P. for Westminster, is hard to beat,
but the Hon. Member must not attack Garry-,wen
in matches Garry is known to be invincil-jie", The
betting on the Cesarewitch was flat, stale, and to
bookmakers, most unprofitable.
TUESDAY.-1110 heath was by ;to means so crowded
as on the same occasion last `season ; but, if I remem-
ber right, there wag then
a prize-fight in the r, 'ale additional attraction of
neighbourhood. Colonel Anson
again wins the Clearwell, value this time 5801.
Murat is evidently an improving horse, and, as a very
shrewd gers'cleman remarked, if the Derby is post-
poned, he, may very likely win it : he certainly runs
better every time he starts. After this and three
mata;nes—one of which Lord Exeter actually won—l
p':oceed to speak of the great Cesarewitch—(value to
:the winner, 8951.), and for which eighteen started—
the precise number I told you would start. In the
lamented absence of the celebrated physician, Dr.
Caius, we stood on Ralph, although beaten in his
match on Monday, as I told you he probably would
be. Ralph, not rode by Robinson-*--too fat to ride
the weight, confound him I—was beat less 'than one
length by the winner. And does any man dare to
tell me that Dr. Caius cannotgive this horse 31bs, and
beat him a length ? lam bound to thank Lord Eg-
Hilton for not starting his horse, as a horse under
such circumstances cannot be beat, at the same time
I must express my unmitigable surprise that his Lord-
ship should neglect winning such a good stake, and
—and not allow any prophecy to be fulfilled. Every
word I said of Florence (second) also came off true.
It was a fine race between three, every one of which,
belieVing their respective owners, ought to have won:
in my humble opinion the best at the weights won,
and would win again run again to-morrow. Scott's
two cut a wretched figure, and Mr. Etwall's Thistle
Whipper, I am told, broke his leg : how or why they
do not say. The betting on this race has been
throughout bad for the books: true, seven horses have
seen 8 to 1 in the quotations, namely, Ralph, Flo-
rence, Belissima, Portrait, llesling ton, Arcanus, and
• Blue Bonnet; but the betting has not been sufficiently
general to enable any five hundred book to get full
against each. And here let me exclaim against the
outrageous nonsense that weekly appears the He-
rald and Advertiser in imitation of these letters. The
editors-of those, journals are evidently not versed h
sporting, or they could never be parties to the publi-
cation cf such insufferable trash. My attention has
been called to this subject by some " elegant" extracts
that have reesntly appeared in Bell's- Life, a journal
that can boast of the services of a gentleman " Pega-
sus," an exi erienced man, and one who understands
his subject. Judex will give him 7lbs. across the Plat
nevertheless, but it would be a nice point.
The settling on Wednesday went-off •smoothly
enough—it usually happens so at Newmarket. I fancy
abouts,ooo/. changed hands, and no more. There were
two races. The Garden Stakes, usually an interesting
race, were not. Two or three horses were heavily
backed for the Derby in the afternoon : Cotherstone,
4.niorins, and Progress colt. The first and the • last
