LIFE DEPARTMENT.

The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo-
ration for the last seven years vary front 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 1•t per cent on the sums as-
sured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as-
sured than any other Company ha= hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporatiai are
taken into consideration.
The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be •
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at neat division of profits for five complete

years.

thanks to the Nobility, Gentry, and Public generally, for
the kind and liberal support he has received from them for
many years, and begs to intimate that he has just resigned
his business in the Royal Hotel in favour of Mr. David Ro-
bertson, late of the Aserdeen Hotel, whom he has great plea-
sure in recommending to his numerous friends and customers,
and under whose management the business, he doubts not,
will be conducted so as t, give general satisfaction. To
commercial gentlemen the Royal Hotel will be found very con-
venient, as all the coaches arrive and depart ;from it.
In reference to the above, DAVID ROBERTSON begs
most respectfully to solicit a continuance of lase patronage that
has hitherto marked the establishment, and to:Assure those who
visit the Hotel, that he will do everything in his power to merit
their support. In addition to the comforts and convenience
which the house has always possessed, the cooking department
has been placed under the management of an. able and experi-
enced man. The Cellars are supplied with one of the largest
stocks of Choice and Old 'Wines to be found in any Hotel in the
north of Scotland. To Commercial Gentlemen the Royal
Hotel will be found very convenient as all the Coaches arrive
and depart from it.

D. R. begs particularly t' direct attentivin tit,slui Stable-yard,
where vehicles of every description, and of the trewest fashion,
can be had for any length of time, and on the shortest notice.

• The Literary Gazette for Saturday, June 11, in summing
up the merits of this Novel, says, " It. resembles no work of
fiction of the present day. The grand qualities of simplicity,
naturalness, and truth are eminently possessed by these volumes.
Like the works of De Foe, it is impossible to fancy that any of
the circumstances did not take place, or that any of the actors
in these scenes are im,iginary personages. None but a woman
could have written this novel; and one, too, who had seen
much of the world, and keenly scrutinized all the bearings of
social life.'

I SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
HAMPTON RACES.
The last of the four meetings to which the Home Circuit of
the Turf is now restricted, commenced yesterday. under aus-
pices more than usually favourable. It will extend to Friday,
and a comparison of the list published on Monday, with the
best that can be found of late years, will show that if anything
can justify three days' racing after the excitement and gran-
deur of Epsom and Ascot, it is the addition of Surrey
and Middlesex, and Two. years-old Stakes, and the
Stewards' Handicap. The racing yesterday, which was made
more than ordinarily attractive by the appearance of
the winner of the Oaks ( Our Nell) as a competitor for the
Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, commenced about two o'clock,
and finished at half-past five ; it was witnessed by a company
average in number and rank, including, besides many other
fashionables, Lords Chesterfield, Worcester, Rosslyn, Maidstone,l
A. Fitzclarence, W. Lennox, G. Bentinck ; Count Bathyany ;
Sirs W. W. Wynn, C. Kent, J. Shelley, G. Heatheote, D.

The lists published on Saturday night stated that this race
would be run at half-past two, and one of them, as ill-luck
would have it, fell into the hands of Tommy Lye, who was
engaged to ride Mr. Dawson's mare The Biddy • it was sub-
sequently arranged that the start should take place at
one, hut the list did not reach Lye in time to make arrange-
ments far his mare to lie-en the course; so that although weighed
for, the other horses, after waiting for her upwards of 'half an
hour, started two or three minutes after two, tevoke winning
in a canter. As a matter of course the case came before the
Stewards, who decided that the heat was valid. The second
heat, like the first, was won in a canter. We ougEtt to state
that on Lye's weighing for The Biddy, her number was ex-
hibited, and even, and 5 to 4 laid upon her, and 3 to 1 agst Re-
voke, upon whom 2 to 1 was laid in running.

Betting-6 and 7t04 on Our Nell, and 2to 1 agst each of
the others. Vibration made the running to the top turn,
where Our Nell, who had been pulling hard at her heels, ran
past her, the Knight of the Whistle taking a close hug of the
rails, following two or three lengths behind. The pace was
very good to the straight running, where Vibration recovered
her lead ; at the distance the winner of the Oaks compounded,
and half way up it Knight of the Whistle caught Vibration,
whom he defeated, after a good race, by half a length. Our
Nell was beaten three or four lengths.
The Strawberry Hill Stakes of 3 sovs. each, with 25 added ;
the winner to be sold for 100/. Heats, one mile and a

No betting worth quoting. The first heat was one easy by
the Langar mare. only the three placed having run for the heat.
Tub Thumper won the other two in a canter, and was claimed.
The races this day will be three in number, and will com-
mence at half-past one ; as each will be " heats" those who in-
tend to "see the end of it " are recommended to start early
and take their night caps.

of fortune, had been reduced to great distress. The
toast was drunk with great applause ; and the following
verses, written for the occasion by Brother John F.
Smith, were then sung by all the musical performers :
THE THREE TASKS.
Though, Brothers ! we have built our Shrine,
And reared the Altar's Cubie Stone,
Graved on its front the Mystic Sign,
Known to our ancient Craft alone
Not yet our Crowning Work begun,
The Mason's labour is not done !
Though Charity hath formed a pile,
Where breathes her orphan Children's prayer,
Whose grateful hearts, whose happy smile,
Reward our deeds and bless our care :
Not yet our Crowning Work begun,
The Mason's labour is not done.
When we have rotted a home for those,
Who of their plenty freely gave.
Whom Poverty, at life's last close,
Hath left no shelter—but the grave :
Then may we boast a race well run,
Then will our Crowning Work be done.
The CHAIRMAN, In a brief speech, then proposed the •
health of the Treasurer, Dr. Crucifix, to whom the So-
ciety was so much indebted for the great interest which
he had taken in the Institution, and for the useful services
which he had rendered to his brother masons.
Dr. CRUCIFIX returned thanks, and was loudly cheered
from all parts of the hall. In reading the Report, he stated

SHOCK ING ACC! [DENT AT APSLEY Hot SE.-13e-
tween four and five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon the following
serious ateident occurred at Apsley House:—David Beamer, in
the employ of Alessi's. Bramah and Prestige, the engineers,
was, with several other workmen, employed in cleaning the
iron blinds of the windows of the picture gallery, which directly
face Hyde-park, looking irrthe direction towards Kensington-
gardens • and while standing outside, and in the act of rolling
up one of the blinds, the pulley-rope broke, and the blind,
which weighed nearly two hundred weight, uncoiled itself with
great rapidity, and jammed the unfortunate man's arm against
the lower part of the iron framework, crushing the bones be •
low the elbow in a shocking manner. The unfortunate man
was removed in a state of great suffering to St. George's Hos-
pital, and placed in Wipplicsster Ward, where he at present re-
mains. A mellek\ger vvis repeatedly sent from Apsley House
make inquiries respecting him. He has a wife and two

111:awIcK.—A large dead whale, of the firmer kind,
was lately fallen in with oft the coast of Dunrossuess, by a
small fishing-boat, and after considerable trouble was ulti-
mately towed on shore. It is supposed to have died from the
effects of a shot or shell fired into it by some vessel. Being
what is called a royal fish, measuring seventy-two feet in
length, it was of course claimed by the Vice-Admiral, and
sold at the high price of 471. sterling, by auction ; the salvors,
however, valued it at 100/., but it is not expected to render so
much oil as will give an adequate return for the cost and ex-
pense of flinching, cutting, boboiling,.&c. The carcase will
also be turned to good account in making manure, and fur this
purpose is of considerable value.— Inverness Herald.

RM.!'" isinnP eRLEANS.
(Correspondence of the aurier and Enquirer.)
XEIV ORLEANS, Al--4Y 20-12 M----IDIOT, Mon, tte.44
You are probably aware that during the- suspension 4ei?eciepayments.by the banks of this city the three mee
nicipalities issued, on their pledged faith, a large amount
of bonds of various denominations under five dollars, for
the purpose of supplying small change in the absence of
specie. These issues are supposedto exceed over $1,000,000
of which more than a third has been put forth by the
smallest and poorest of' the corporations. The extreme
suddenness of the resumption precluded the possibility
of adopting immediate measures- for the redemption
of these municipal notes, while at the same
time it rendered their rapid depreciation a matter
of absolute certainty. The poor and humble
classes, as is usually the case, were the sufferers.
Yesterday the butchers refused them sate at a ruinous
rate of discount, and they went on falling in value
hourly throughout the day, until this morning the issues
of the third and poorest municipality are refused in
tote , and only negotiable at a discount of 50 to co Fr •
cent.,and those of the first and second municipalities re-
ceived at the rate of 75 cents to the dollar.
In this state of thin; s, with the minds of the disorderly
and motley classes—which compose the mass of a great
city—in an exasperated and exciteable condition, an
immense number of labourers and loafers, consi.sr-
ing of French, Spanish, and Irish, with but few
Americans, made their way before the Counei
Hall of the first municipality, and appeared to con#
template an attack on the edifice. The Mayor—Me,
Denis Prieur, a man of extraordinary popularity mitt
these very people—harangued them, entreating them es
disperse, assuring them that projects were then in foes
illation for the redemption of the municipal issues, and,.
in short, employing every means of persuasion in °rile
to arrest that frightful spectacle in a great city—a reck-
less mob. His arguments and plausible statements had
the effect of inducing the rabble to leave the council hall
unscathed. But a cry arose among them, " A bag les
courtiers de change" (down with the money brokers), and
in a twinkling a tremendous concourse, numbering sere-
ral hundreds, were rushing their headlong way along
Chartres, towards Canal-street, where. the first and se-.
cond municipalities unite, and where the brokers' shop,
are principally stationed. Before the slightest re:4t-
' ance could be "offered, and almost before the resithr.its
that part of the city became aware of what wee in con-
templation, four or five large brokers establishments
were assaulted, broken into, and, I understand, gutted.
One firm I know lost Bor 10,000 dollars. By the time
this disorderly scene had been enacted, the citizens bs-
gen to recover from their alarm, and the pollee rushing.
into the midst of the mob, arrested about a dozen of they
ringleaders and carried themko.prison.
At this moment the city is tolerably quiet. 'efOw
long it will continue so I have no means of discuses:jug ;
but there exists a determination on the partkiotf):loel.ti
zens to preserve peace and order at all 'hazards.
Quarter-past On
About twelve o'clock it was rumoured that at attempt
would be made to liberate . the rioters from gaol, end
is
no doubt would have been carried through, hut the Cer-
vernor very properly ordered out the militery, and when
the rabble got up to the second inunicpality hall, tber
found 200 muskets with ball cartridges ready to give,
them a warm reception. I have no fears of any more*
riotous assemblages during the day time, but should no:
be surprised if something of the kind was to occur to-
night. _ _

lusiness is at a stand to-day ; nearly all the stores in
Camp-street are closed.

Ilia weather is intensely hot—thermometer at prelent
89 in the shade—just the very kind of temperature to
convert the most peaceably disposed citizen into a down—
right savage.

ANOTHER MADAME LAFARGE.
At the Assizes of the Rhone, on the 6th inst., tile
wife of a workman, named Pre, was tried for attempt-
ing to murder him by cutting his throat with a razor.
The victim of her fury escaped, bleeding profusely,
before she could consummate her crime by repeating.
the attack, and with skilful attention recovered in !era
than a month. The motive assigned for this offe ace
in the act of accusation was jealousy, but the, evi-
dence left no doubt that the woman was at the time,
and had long been, labouring under monomaraia. On
the day.of the attack, after some words wqh her hus-
band, she had requested him to kiss her, and, on his
refusing to do so, she seized a razor and drew it acroas
his throat. In her defence she declared that she had,
acted under a momentary impulse, for which s;la
could not account, and it was proved that she w at
the time under an impression that she le,id her
four children had been drinking sometb:mg which
would cause death, and that she had attempted to
murder her husband in order that the whole family,
might goout of the world tose Sher. She was very
indignant, however, on her trial at the attempt of her
counsel and the medical wiinesses to establish her in-
sanity, and her replies were intended to remove this
belief from the minds of the Jury, but there were oc-
casional symptoms of incoherence which left no
doubt of the fact, and the Jury consequently returned
a verdict of acquittal, after which the President of
the Court ordered that she should be placed in a lu-
natic asylum. In the course of the pleading of
counsel, he cited several instances of monomania, to
show that the prisoner was really insane, and in
under her
lustration of his argument, amongst other oesea, re-
lated the following extraordinary anecdoto,:_madame
Adelaide, sister of the King,
l 836, tooa,k-. d
protection a young lady of family Pl her at a
boarding-school, and received her treeiaently holi-
:pillace. Suddenly
e"a nn
apartmentso un c announced tothine the
ehoolmistress and her
telaspraottle;
intimate friends that she -WAS about to be married.. under the auspices of her patroness to a young Lieu-
tenant-Colonel, to whom she had been introduced hx-
her Royal Highne,zs,' and in evidence of the truth of
her assertions produced letters on the subject with
the sealf the Princess, and in a hande,riting which
all acquainted with that of Madame .11.tielaide believedk
to be hers. Subsequent letters were also displayed
in ayhich her Royal Highness was made to stex:
first, that the intended husband, was detained awa-,,
his regimental duties--then, that he was dange...rjusly
ill, and ultimately that tie was dead and Inu+cd. The
young lady upon th:,s gave herself up tq sueh violent
grief that fears were entertained for her own life. The
only c°,ns°/ation she would listen to was a permiision
to herself into the mourning of a widow, and go.
a) weep over the tomb of her lost lover. The under-
governess accompanied her to the cemetery of Pare
la Chaise, and, at the gate, desired to have pointed out.
the place of interment of Lieutenant-Colonel Count
M., who had died a week before, at the age of twenty-
five. The Concierge searched the register, and then
assured the inquirers that it did not contain the entry
of any such burial, which consequently must, he said,.
have taken place elsewhere. This answer increased
the despair of the young lady, who prevailed upon:
her attendant to go with her to the other cemeteries
of Paris, at each of which they met with the like dis-
appointment. It was night before they returned
home, and the stricken pupil retired to rest in deeper
despair frail ever. The governess, the next day, felt.
it to I,P her duty to go to Madame Adelaide, and re-
late all these mournful circumstances, taking with her
the letters announcing the events which had so en-
tirely destroyed the peace of her pupil. The asto-
nishment of the Princess on hearing the extraordinary
narrative, and at seeing letters apparently in her Own,
hand-writing, but which she had never written, ant
recognising impressions from a seal which did really
belong to her, could not be described. No such pf.n.-
son as Lieutenant Count M. was known to her Royal
highness, consequently she never could have cont,ein-
lated any such alliance for her pupil, nor hay e an-
nounced to her his illness and death. In fv.ct, the
young lady had been induced by a morbid ;_tnagina-
tion to invent the whole tale—to purloin one of her
patroness's seals, imitate her han,Awritireg, compose
the fictitious letters, and, by bribing an old servant,
induce her to put them into the post. Her mind,
however was affected with the same grief, from her
owit deliberate invention, as if'all the circumstances
had really existed.

EATS! Or T.IW FAARL Or ERNE.—IIIs I4orti,hip
expired at his resi,,ience. in the neighbourhood of London, on
the afternoon of I...riday, and is succeeded in his title and estates
by Colonel C;ichton, of Crum Castle, in the county of Fer-
managh, L. tred-Lieutenant of that county, and one of the beet
rd most xatroving resident landlords in Ireland. The family
is desceT:Led from a branch of the Criehtons, Viscounts Frets.
in North Britain, which title ceased with Lewis, tke
Viscount, about the year 1690. An ancestor of
Lord Erne's commanded a regiment of foot at the battle
of Aughrim in 1692. Another was celebrated for his gallant
defence of the family seat of Crum Castle, against a large body-
of King James's army. Having repulsed the assailants, young.
Crichton—for he was a very youth—made a sally at the instasst
that a corps of Enniskilleners were approaching to the relief of
the castle, which movement placed the besiegers between two
fires, and caused dreadful slaughter. The enemy, attempting
to accomplish his retreat across an arm of Lough Erne, near
Crum Castle, that spot became the scene of such earne, that
it has ever since borne the name of the " Bloody Pass.'
A SISTI:R SHOT Er TIER BROTHElL—OnThursclay
last, at Lelant Downs, near St. Ives, Cornwall, a miner, names
John Edwards, aged 19, told his sister that be had some per.
cussion caps which he was about to try. She came out of her
room to look at him, and, not knowing that the gun was loa.dp,d,
the brother discharged the piece, when the whole o! th.s
contents lodged in the temples of his unfortunate
who dropped lifeless on the floor. Coroner's ino,u_ttet hap
been held upon the body, and a verdict returned of Acci-
dental death." The poor girl was about 16 years of a,ge, and
her brother has been quite frantic with grief ever 'since.
