SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION

No. 14, ST. ANDREW-SQUARE, EDINBURGH,
(INCORPORATED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT.)

THE SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION is
the only Office which combines the advantages of MUTUAL
ASSURANCE with -MODERATE PREMIUMS.
The Premiums are, at early and middle ages, about a fourth
lower than in the other Mutual Assurance Offices ; so that the
sseucmurreer
li2r3eodiinnttilliiesm—say at age 30—to assure £lOOO, would

The Whole Profits are divisible among the Assured, upon a
principle which is at once safe, equitable, and favourable to
good lives,—the k:urplus being reserved for those Members
whose Premiums, with Accumulated Interest, amount to the
sums in their Policies; in other words, for those by whose longer
contributions alone it has been created.

This distinctive principle is more fully explained in the Pros-
pectus and Annual Reports, copies of which may be had on
application.

DISTURBANCE IN A CHURCH.— 4t the D

Meld Times

Easter Sessions last week Joseph Way was charged with
having wilfully disquieted and troubled the divine service
in the church of Whitechurch Canonicorum, and was or-
dered to be imprisoned for three months; and, at the ex-
piration of the said three months, to the General Quarter
Sessions of the Peace, to be holden in and for the county
of Dorset. The Rev. Mr. Palmer attended before the
ourt, and explained the nature of the prisoner's offence,
ld regretted exceedingly that he had been compelled, for
rder, to take the step he

had done against him. The Chairman said that the court
and the public must feel much indebted to Mr. Palmer for
having performed a painful public duty. The prisoner
expressed his sorrow for what had happened, and pro-
mised not to offend in a like manner again. The Court
then, with a suitable admonition, discharged him. Not
the least remarkable part of this case is the circumstance
that the prisoner was indicted under an act passed in the
reign of Queen Mary, for the protection of the Popish
Church, instead of under a later statute of William and
Mary, for the protection of the Protestant Church. The
law, however, is stringent and effectual, and should be
generally known.

(the inspector) was informed, was still in prison, and,
much to his own gratification, quietly and willingly serv-
ing out the balance of the sentence that properly belonged
to the thief. What he (the inspector) wanted to know
was, whether he would not be perfectly justified in retaking
the thief, but before he did so he felt it his duty to apprise
the magistrate of the information so given him, that the
necessary inquiries might be made into the matter, re-
specting the accuracy of which he himself, however, enter-
tained very little doubt. Mr. Hammill expressed some
surprise at the ingenuity of the trick which had been

that the building is to be pulled down, and the materials
sold. It was atone of the windows of this guildhall that
Lord Hussey was beheaded for taking part in the rebel-
lion against the reformation ; and the citizens are reputed
to have so far favoured the catholic movement which
brought several to the block and the axe as to resist as a
presumptuous innovation the injunction that the church
services should be read in a language they could under-
stand ! The doomed palace is generally considered to have
been built by John o'Gaunt for the summer residence of

tice of the amusements

. _
offered to the public during the Easter holidays, by the
indefatigable manager, Mr. Copeland. The African Ros-
cius, Mr. Aldrige, has been performing in the legitimate

drama each evening, and sustained his Parts with his usual
ability. We must pass over his excellence, which is well
known, to notice more particularly the novelty afforded
by the production of the grand ballet of " Esmeralda,"
which has been brought forward in excellent style. The
scenery is splendid, and the view of Notre Dame and
bridge by moonlight is very true to nature, and the serial
perspective infused into the whole truly admirable. The
scene of the Conservatory and Garden, with a fountain in
the long vista of perspective, shows much skill and tast
in the artist

The various groups of gipseys at play affords
many striking points of picturesque beauty, and the cos-
tume throughout is characteristic and good. If any point
fails, it is in the orchestral department, which is not suffi-
mmerous to meet the other order of excellence.
most striking feature is the debut of Mademoiselle

But the

Auriol, a dancer of the first order of excellence, who com-
bines all those rare points of ease, grace, and perfection
of finish, which belong to the first operatic dancers. In
figure she is small, but most beautifully proportioned, and
combines many points of symmetry. Shs has dark hair,
and eyebrows finely arched and pencilled, which give much
expression to her countenance. She has wonderful power
and flexibility of limb, which can only be acquired by
years of laborious application. Her pas and poses are
highly graceful, and all her movements are natural and
beautiful. Her bye-play is excellent, and the expression
of her face suitable to the vivacity of the part. There is
also much taste and elegance displayed in the arrangement
of her costume. She takes her benefit on Friday.
SCROFULOUS SORES AND DISEASES OF THE SKIN
CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.—HOW-
ever inveterately maladies of this nature are rooted in the
human frame, Holloway's celebrated medicines possess
such curative powers that, by a strict adherence to the
rules laid down for their use, the diseases may be com-
pletely eradicated ; therefore let the afflicted try these
stirling remedies, for it is truly astonishing to know the
number of persons that have been cured of king's evil,
scurvy, leprosy, ringworm, and every variety of skin dis-
ease, by Holloway's Ointment.

lives. Scarcely two per cent. of the population of the en-
tire kingdom have done so. This is the more remarkable
and unaccountable, since the death of every 1,000 persons
in the middle and lower ranks of life, who have not assu-
red their lives, leaves at least 4,000 women and children
in poverty, if not absolute penury, who might otherwise
be left in comparative affiuence.—The Reporter and 48-

MR. COBDEN'S DINNER—The Wakefield Journal says,
that when Mr. Cobden and his friends walked through
that town on Wednesday to the banquet presented to him,
not a single cheer greeted him or his friends. There was
plenty of space in the banquet room for more than sat
down, and after cloths were withdrawn, there was no
anxiety manifested to obtain admission. In five minutes
after Mr. Cobden's entrance into the room there was not
a single person loitering in the vicinity of t
Buildings

a stranger in passing through the town,
would not have imagined that the free trade member for
the county was for the first time meeting his constituents.
We question whether there were thirty persons present
at the dinner connected with Wakefield. It is true that
Manchester sent some 200 to the dinner., Rochdale and
Todmorden their quota—Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford,
and Leeds made up the rest, but the country gentleman
were absent ; the life-blood of the riding were also absent
—its middle class tradesmen. At the dinner given to Mr.
Sandars, the member for Wakefield, about eighteen
months ago, there were twice as many persons present as
there were at Cobden's banquet.

•
DINNER AT WAKEFIELD TO MR. COBDEN.—On Wed-
nesday a grand complimentary entertainment was given
to Mr. Cobden by his constituents, in celebration of his
triumphant return for the West-Riding at the last elec-
tion. The entertainment took place at the Corn Ex-
change, Wakefield, where accommodation was provided
for between 600 and 700 persons. The side walls were
ornamented with branches of laurel, at the upper end
was the Royal cypher surmounted by an Imperial Crown,
and at the lower end of the apartment was suspended a
