This Society is supported by an ample subscribed Capital, and by a
considerable accumulated premium flind.
Assurances are effected at a low rate of premium, without profits,
or at an increased premium? with participition in the profits of the
Office.
A bonus in ready money, at the rate of fifteen per cent. on the

thirty per cent.) was declared in May, 1842, on all beneficial po-
licies on which three annual premiums had been paid in the December
previous.
A division of the profits takes place every five years,and the
holders of beneficial policies can receive their bonuses in read
iny
money, or have them applied in augmentation of their policies,
reduction of their future premiums. in
Assurers may contract to pay their Premiums either in one
sum,
or
a given number of payments, in annual, half-yearly, or quarterly pay-
ments, or on the ascending or descending scale.
Officers in the Army and Navy on active service, Persona afflicted
with chronic and other diseases, and such as are going beyond the
limits of Europe, are also Assured at moderate Rates.

therein, twenty had informed him this day, and stated that they
had been called on by " Inquirers," who stated—some that they
were sent by the House of Commons—others by the House of
Lords—and others by the London and York Company.
Now those twenty persons were represented in this list as non-
existent—( Hear, and a laugh)—although they had all seen
inquirers, and assured them they were ready to meet their
engagements. Perhaps Mr. Bruce himself was imposed
upon. But his agents had misrepresented persons of

;o:CIDF,'NTs.

Lord PALNIERSTO,N said that he had bed a commu-
nication with the Directors of the S aith Eastern and
Dover Companies, and they stated that the ~uric of the
late accidents was that the engines were to. weak for
the work required fr,,m them, and that the -übject had
been fully considered by the Boord of Directors. They
assured hint that there was no mistake in the quality of
the material, the mistake was in the calculation at the
time the engines were made. They also stated that the
party who were directors at the period he had alluded to,
were not directors at that time ; and, they added, that,
on the Ist of October last, when they found that the en-
gines were too weak, they gave fresh orders for engines
of greater power. He did not, however, think that ex-
planation was sufficiently satisfactory. He thought that
when they found out that the engines were weak, they
ought to have proportioned the weight of the trains to
their capacity, and instead of putting two weak engines
to a heavy train, they ought to have lighter trains to the
weak engines. According to their own explanation they
did not do so. They stated that it was only on one part
of the line where the inclination was very steep that they
did put one engine before and another behind, and that
the trains in these cases did not go at a greater rate than
ten or twelve miles an hour. He was no engineer, and.
therefore, would not presume to say that his:opinion was
entitled to any value, but it appeared to bun that that
pace was too great for public safety. He thought the
two engines ought to he in front ; but if the one were to
be in front, and the other behind, then, in his judgment,
four miles were amply sufficient__

PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO

BENJAMIN HAWES, ESQ., M.P.
On Saturday last, George Moffatt, Esq , M.P., entertained
a number of gentlemen at his house in Eaton-square, on the
occasion of the presentation of a piece of plate to Benjamin
Hawes, Esq., M.P. A number of the merchants and traders
of the Citv of London being anxious, before the close of the
session of Parliament, to mark their sense of the great services
conferred upon the commercial interests by the ability, the ex-
tensive knowledge, and the unwearied attention devoted to
them by Mr. Hawes, a subscript on was raised to purchase a
piece of plate as an enduring record of their grateful approba-
tion. The testimonial selected—a massive and very richly
wrought salver—bore the following inscription;—
" Presented by certain merchants and traders of various po-
litical opinions in the City of London to Benjamin Hawes, jun ,
Esq., M.P., in testimony of their sense of his zealous and
vigilant attention in Parliament to the commercial interests of
the country, as an acknowledgment of public services, and a
tribute to private worth."
In propo,ing Mr. Hawes's health, after dinner, Mr. Moffatt
observed that this compliment to the Honourable Gentleman
originated in the wish of a number of the mercantile body of
the city of London to mark their sense of the various services
which Mr. Hawes had rendered to the interests with which
they were connected. The commercial community of this
country had reason to be grateful to Lambeth for selecting such
a representative as Mr. Hawes, and, without distinction of
party, merchants and traders of London were anxious that the
confidence reposed in him by his constituents should for many
future sessions of Parliament give them the advantage of Mr.
Hawes's services as a Member of the Legislature. The gentle-
men with whom this compliment to Mr. Hawes had originated
had advisedly refrained from courting for it the eclat of a
public demonstration, but it would not, he trusted, be there.
fore the less acceptable to the Hon. Member to whom it
was paid.
London, England, 1845-08-05

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlK,—The late racing at Goodwood has shown pretty clearly
the powers, capabilities, and qualities of Old England, Wea-
therbit, Pam, Arkwright, and Sting. I consider Weatherbit
and Pam's chances for the St. Leger to have vanished entirely,
and Old England run his race in the most " lubberly" manner
imaginable. His push in the straight running proves beyond
a doubt, that he is not capable of going apace when approach-
ing the winning post, fur I could plainly perceive that he was
doing his best against Longitude at the finish of the race for
the Drawing-room Stakes. Arkwright looks well for next
year's Derby, and Sting will sting his opponents in the ring
before the Epsom Meeting for 1846 is recorded in the annals
of the past.
The Brighton Meeting commences on Tuesday with the
Pavilion Stakes, which will or ought to be booked as a cer-
tainty for Sting, Tug Net being second. Besides this race,
there are only the Brighton Stakes which are likely to attract
any particular notice, for which about eleven will show, say
the following :—Queen Mab, Joe Lovell, Pineapple, My Old
Hack, Moustache, Subduer, Saddlebow, Mongrel, The Wreck,
Rowena, and, perhaps, Poussin. -Out of these, I fancy Sub-
duer, Joe Lovell, and My Old Hack will do the trick between
them, having a slight preference for the former, who has but
6st 121 b to carry.—l am, Sir, yours, &c ,

THE Czi.gE OF JOHN MAYES.

Mr. TUFFNELL put a question to Sir James
Graham respecting the imprisonment of one John Mayes,
who had been tried before Lord Chief Justice Tindal at
the Spring Assizes, and in whose favour the
,judge,
sheriff, and others, had declared themselves. The Hon.
Member was not distinctly audible in the galery.
Sir J. GRAHAM said some delay had necessarily oc-
curred with resp:fet to this case, but the individual was
only kept in prison until he opinion of the judge who
tried him (Tinda!) was ascertained upon some documents
which had been submitted to him. It was believed the
party had not been guilty of the crime of which he was
convicted. He had been originally sentenced to trans-
portation for 15 years, which had been commuted to
seven years, and the sentence was ordered to stand over
until facts, which had subsequently transpired, were in-
quired into. If the judge's opinion were favourable, he
would feel great pleasure in recommending her Majesty
to grant him a free par lon.
THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

Mr. MOFFATT asked when the new houses of Par-
liament would be finished. The noble lord opposite
(Lord Lincoln) said in 1842, that they would be finished
in 1846 ; but there was now no chance of such a cotn-
pletion.—Wonld they be finished in 1847 ?
Lord LINCOLN said that Mr. Barry was doing his
utmost to forward the building—that he could answer
for. No great national building of the same magnitude
had advanced so rapidly. Last summer some imputa-
tions were thrown upon Mr. Barry, which had an effect
the reverse of what was intended, for it threw him into
a state of nervous anxiety, from which he was ill for
two months. He could only say that the Central Hall
would not be ready in the session of 1847. The COll3-
mittee-rooms of both houses would be ready by that
session ; and it would be for the House to say whether it
would be more advisable to complete the other parts with
undue haste, or wait for another session.
_ SPAFIELDS INTERMENT NUISANCE.

In answer to a question from Lord EBRINGTON,
Sir J. GRAHAM, who, as well as the noble lord,
was heard but imperfectly, said that measures had been
taken to abate the nuisance of the Spafields interment,
and to prevent the recurrences of the revolting transac-
tions connected with that place.
The House then proceeded to the orders of the day.

Families wishing to try any of the above are recommended to
order them through their own tradesmen, taking notice, hoWever,
that these being the London Cash Prices, the Country Dealer must
charge higher to cover his expenses of carriage. Where no dealer
can be found willing to sell them, Edward Price and Co. will supply
quantities of not less than 5/. worth, direct from their manufactory,
at Belmont, Vauxhall. On receiving a Post-office order for this
amount, they will forward Candles and Oil in the proportions that
may be directed; or, to parties wishing for samples and unable to
obtain them, they will, on receiving a 11. Post-office order, forward a
box containing 31bs of each of the four sorts of Candles, and a
gallon of the Oil.
They fix the price of the sample box so high, to
avoid all suspicion of their wishing to interfere with the retail trade
of the Country Dealers..
The trade may obtain the above Candles and Oil wholesale, in
London, from Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall ; Palmer
and utton-street, Clerkenwell ; and W. Merchant, 253, Regent-
circus, Co.,Oxford-street ; in Manchester, from Richardson and Roebuck,

WAY.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition against this I
Bill from the North Riding of Yorkshire.
MIDLAND COUNTIES RAILWAY EXTENSION.
The SPEAKER said that before the conclusion of
private business he wished to state to the House that his
attention had been drawn to the:provision in this Bill,
which had escaped the observation of the Committee
on the Bill, and: which appeared to have done so by
soms surreptitious management. The Bill had been read
a first time, and stood for the second reading to night,
and it was for the House to judge whether the order
for that second reading should be discharged, in conse-
quence of a violation of the standing orders of the
isouse. By the 15th clause of that Bill a power was given
to owners of land within five miles on each side of the
railway to dig for coals, limestone, and other minerals,
and form railways for carrying them to the main trunk
of the line. If this power . were given to these land-
owners, they would obtain authority for taking the
lands of others on each side of their own at the valua-
tion of the jury. Under these circumstances, it was for
the House to consider whether the order for the second
reading should be discharged.
Mr. GREENE said that his attention had been drawn
to this Bill, and he thought that, under the circum-
stances, it was a duty to move for the discharge of the
order for the second reading.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE would be glad to know whether
this railway had been favourably reported on by the
Board of Trade, for without that report he supposed it
was impossible that the Bill could have come into Par-
liament; and he thought that so gross a violation of the
standing orders ought to be inquired into in order to
ascertain how far the Board of Trade had a share in it.
Mr. STRUTT said that he was anxious that the
order for the second reading should be discharged, for
not only was be Chairman of the Committee on the
Bill, but he was also, he found, a landowner within
the prescribed distance of the line. It was
utterly impossible for a Committee to read
through the whole of the Bills presented to them, and
there was nothing, he presumed, through the omission
o • the Parliamentary agent, in the marginal readings,
as was usual, to draw the attention of the Committee to
this provision of the 15th clause.
Lcrd GRANVILLE SOMERSET thought the atten-
tion of the House ought to be turned to the conduct of
t'ie Parliamentary agent, that it might be inquired into.
He believed that Parliamentary agents were employed
t ) comply with.the standing orders, and if they were to
nave no responsibility laid on them, the sooner the sys-
tem was altered the better. He did not suggest what
the House should do, but he hoped they would do some-
thing to punish such conduct.
Mr. ENTWISLE said he would take another oppor-
tunity of calling the attention of the House to this Bill.
The order for the second reading was then discharged.
Mr. SHERIDAN presented a petition praying for an
alteration in the laws relating to bankruptcy. The pe-
tition, in consequence of its being lithographed, could
not be received.

JUDGE'S C HAMBERS-( T HIS DAY

(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
THE ST. GILES'S MCRDEE.—Shortly after Mr. Baron
Rolfe came to Chambers, Mr. Wakley, M.P., the Coroner for
Middlesex, went before his Lordship for the purpose of op-
plying for a habeas corpus, to be directed to the Sheriffs and
the Governor of Newgate, to bring the body of Joseph
Connor, who stands committed for the murder of Mary
Brothers, in St. Giles's. It will be recollected that on the
adjourned inquest, held on Saturday, both the Coroner and
jury refused to proceed with the inquiry unless the prisoner
was before them ; and the Coroner then declared his deter-
mination to apply for a habeas.
The Learned JUDGE observed that he was not aware that
a habeas corpus had ever been granted in such a case. From
what had occurred, it appeared that a person had been exa-
mined before a magistrate on a charge of murder, and upon
the evidence adduced he had been committed for trial ; and
the authorities were bound to keep him in sate custody until
a gaol delivery took place. He (Mr. Baron Rolfe) was satis-
fied that the judges had no power to grant a habeas, and it
was right they should not, for it was impossible to say what
abuse of power might be made if a habeas could be granted;
persons in custody for very serious offences might even escape
from justice if they could be brought out of a prison on a writ
of habeas corpus
The Coroner contended that the accused ought to be
bro.,ght bet;we the Coroner's Court, and observed in that
opinion the Secretary of State fully agreed.
The Learned JUDGE remarked, that if the prisoner bad
been improperly committed then some such an application
might be made, but nothing of that sot t was attempted to be
shown. Looking at the whole of the case, he felt bound to
refuse the application.
Mr. \Vakley then retired.

The Stock Market closes with little animation this week
at the reduced quotations in the report of sales. The causes
which have led to this change from last week are chiefly the-
agitation of the Texas affair, in relation to which there is
still so much uncertainty. As usual in this market, fancy
stocks have been the chief sufferers, while sound stocks have
been comparatively unchanged. In sound stocks for the past
week there has been no decline of any account, nor could any
amount of sound stocks be bought at any reduction on the
full prices of the past year. In fancy stocks another state of
things is seen, and a reduction of prices is daily acceded to,
amounting in the past week to 114 to 6% per cent. on the
list of active fancy stocks. Illinois 6's have fallen '.l/s in the
face of the favourable action of their Legislature ; Stonington,
