A deputation, headed by Lord Ashley, waited on
Lord John Russell last week, in order to present memo-
rials from the Lords Day Society, from London and
Westminster, and from other parts of the country, remons-
trating against the transmission of provincial letters
through London on Sunday, and praying for the total
suspension of post-office business throughout the United
Kingdom on that day.
The Committee appointed to erect a public testimonial
to the memory of the late Robert Liston, F.R.S., have
decided that it shall consist of a statue, in marble, to be
placed in.some public situation (the exact site, however,
has not yet bead determined), and of a gold medal, to be
called the " Liston Medal," to be awarded annually, as
the Council of University College, London, may decide.
The total amount at present subscribed is £683 14s. 6d.
MANSLAUGHTER.—On Saturday last an inquest was
held at the Ship inn, Ulverston, on the remains of Thos.
Levy, who had resided for some time in Ulverston. On
the 14th of April a quarrel had arisen at a sale, at Old
Hall, near Ulverston, between deceased and an old man
named William Dixon, a carter. Levy had been kicked
so violently on the legs by Dixon as to cause his death.
A verdict of Manslaughter was returned against Dixon,
who absconded, and has not yet been apprehended.
DEATH OF TOM CRIBB.—The celebrated Thomas Cribb,
who in the days when pugilism was in the ascendancy,
was styled the " Champion of England," died at his resi-
dence in the High-street, Woolwich, on Friday, aged 67.
Mr. Cribb had for some years carried on the business of a
baker and confectioner, and had been for sor,-..e time in a
declining state of health, the cause of his death being old
age and debility. A subscription- was annually made fur
him by his former companions, which placed him in very
comfortable circumstances.

USE OF CHLOROFORM IN CHILD-BIRTH.—On Tuesday
last, Isabella, wife of Mr. Joseph Briggs, Ulverston, while
under the influence of chloroform was safely delivered of
a child, by Mr. R. H. Barton, surgeon, of Ulverston, and
Mr. Dunn, surgeon, of the same place. It was an ex-
tremely difficult labour case, and occupied about an hour
in accomplishing. After delivery, and when sensation had
returned, the patient, being asked how she felt, replied
that she thought she had been playing with her
c:iildren, Mrs. Briggs is going on very favourably, but
the child was dead born. This is the fifth instance, in a
short time, that Mr. Parton has used chloroform in hild-
birth, and every time with perfect success.—Lancst. Gaz.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday last, Mr.
Maughan, draper, Sheffield, left his residence at Wadsley
Park, accompanied by his wife and two daughters, in a
phaeton drawn by one horse, which in the course of the
drive took fright and ran off at a rapid pace, when the
carriage struck against the corner of a house, and threw
them all with terrific violence out of the carriage, which
was smashed to pieces. Mrs. Maughan was killed on the
spot. Mr. Maughan was taken up apparently in a lifeless
state, and afterwards conveyed to the Infirmary, where
the best medical aid was called into requisition, but death
relieved him from his suffering the same evening. The
two daughters of Mr. Maughan were not seriously injured.

_ -
DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE.—A most despicable outrage
was committed last week on Miss Louisa Kingsman, a
highly accomplished young lady, about 18 years of age,
the daughter of the Rev. Mr. Kingsman, the vicar of
Gilderstone, Bradford. She was crossing a field by a
footpath, hen a ruffian addressed her in the most inde-
cent terms; and, as she was attempting to hasten from
him, he seized her by the arms and round the waist, drag-
ged her to a gravel-pit some four or five yards from the
path, and having thrown her down, commenced an attack
which left little doubt of his intentions. Miss Kingsman
resolutely fought with the ruffian, and having regained
her feet, succeeded in escaping from him. A fine of £5
has been inflicted by a sagacious justice as adequate pun-
ishment on the offender !

UNSTAAIPED PUBLICATIONS.—At the meeting of the
Church of England Sunday School Institute, it was stated
by the Rev. W. M. Whittemore, that there were 60 pe-
riodicals at a price from one halfpenny to three farthings,
published every week. There were no less than 16,640,000
of these published annually, all of them bad in character,
but some of them so unscrupulous in their tendency, as to
make one thrill with horror at their very titles. There
was one with a weekly circulation of 100,000, which was
said to be a great favourite in families, whose main fea-
ture was a reprint of the most objectionable French no-
vels. All these were read principally by the'young, and
often by the children of the poor, who had been educated
in Sunday schools, and thus acquired a taste for reading.
—John Bull.
ALLEGED MURDER.—A man, named William James
Lane, is now in custody, in Birmingham, waiting a coro-
ner's inquisition on the body of a man named James
Birch, supposed to have Is n murlered on Sundayrnorning
last. :It appears Lane and Birch were fellow workmen,
employed as pearl button makers, in Newtown-row. On
Saturday night they went into the neighbourhood of
Kingsbury, a few miles from Birmingham, to fish, and
about five o'clock on Sunday morning, Lane returned
home without his companion, and stated that he bad lost
him, but, he could not give any satisfactory account of
what became of him. On Monday a number of persons
went to the river where they had been fishing, and found
the body of Birch in the water, and several severe bruises
upon various parts of his person, which evidently indicated
the unfortunate man had received ill-treatment before his
death. Suspicioc then fell upon Lane.
DETERMINED SUICIDE OF MR. REDHEAD YORKE,
M.P.—On Friday, shortly after noon, a most determined
act of suicide was committed by Mr. Redhead Yorke,
M.P. for the city of York, and son-in-law of the late Lord
Brandon. The agent chosen by the unfortunate gentle-
man to effect his rash purpose was prussic acid, and the
locality where he swallowed it, the Regent's-park, on the
green sward nearly opposite the Glocester-gate, and within
a few hundred yards of the York and Albany. A.number
of persons soon gathered round the unfortunate gentle-
man, but he died almost immediately. The deceased at-
tended the House of Commons the previous evening, and
on Friday morning he went out after breakfast without
doing anything to excite observation. He was about 50
years of age, and has always been considered of a some-
what eccentric frame of mind.
INDUSTRY OF BRITISH ARTISTS.—Amid the " press of
a tumultuous crowd," as an old chronicler writes. we
strove on Monday last to get some idea of the 1,474 works
of art which line the walls of the Royal Academy, and
show what our artists have been at during the past year.
Join these with the 800 works exhibited by the Society of
British Artists ; 474 in the British Institution ; 516 in the
Free Exhibition at Hyde-park-corner ; 346 by the old
Water-colour Society ; 413 by the new Water-colour
Society, and at least 1,500 which have been returned to
to the artists, for want of merit on the one s de, or want
of room on the other—making a total of 5,523—and they
afford a sufficiently striking evidence of the industry of
the British school, without counting the large number
never exhibited at all, and the larger number shown only
in the provinces.—Builder
An extraordinary investigation took place before the
magistrates, at Warwick, on Saturday last, in the course
of which a most serious, and, as far as appearances at pre-
sent go, most unfounded, charge of compliancy in an act
of murder, was made against Lord Leigh and others. The
evamination arose out of an application made to the bench,
by Mr. Pollock, under the advice, as the learned gentle-
man stated, of Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C., 11r. Clarkson, and
Mr. Bodkin, the object being to obtain a warrant to search
for certain bodies which were said to be hurried under a
bridge in Lord Leigh's park. The principal witness was
a person named Richard Barnett, a stonemason, whose
evidence (if to be relied upon) would go to show that hu-
man life had been deliberately sacrificed by Lord Leigh
and some of his agents, and that two men, who were at
work at the bridge in question, had been purposely crushed,
and buried alive, by a ponderous stone, which was sud-
denly " let go " upon their heads, by his lordship's direc-
tions, while they were preparing the bed to receive it.
The witness's evidence received .no corroboration. Evi-
dence was given as to statements made by two persons,
since dead, who declared that they had been guilty of
crimes in connexion with the Leigh family ; but, on hear-
ing the whole testimony produced, the magistrates dis-
missed the application. Mr. Jones, who attended to
watch the proceedings on the part of Lord Leigh, inti-
mated that proceedings would be taken against some of
the witnesses for perjury. _ _

SALE OF THE BUCKINGHAM ESTATES.—On Wednes-
day, a large portion of the Chandos and Buckingham
estates, situate within the counties of Buckingham,
Oxford, and Northampton, were sold by public auction
(under a power for that purpose contained in the mort-
gage of these estates by the Duke and Marquis) by Alder-
man Farebrother, at Garraway's, Cornhill. The estate of
Pinmore, Oxfordshire, upwards of 1,200 acres, the rental
£1,226 14s. per annum, three miles from Buckingham
and Brackley, 7 from Bicester, and 12 from Banbury, was
put up at £35,000: the first offer was £24,000 ; it was
knocked down at £31,300. The Syresham, Falcott, and
Astwell estate, Northamptonshire, comprising 2,000 acres,
with a rental of £2,300 (subject to an annuity of £5OO to
the Hon. Lady Grenville, now in her 76th year), 5 miles
from Towcester, 4 from Brackley, and 8 from Buckingham,
was put up at £70,000: the first offer was £53,000 ; it was
knocked down at £65,300. The Hellesden estate, Buck-
inghamshire, 2 miles from Buckingham, 8 from Bicester,
and 16 from Aylesbury, containing 2,890 acres, with a
rent roll of £4,763 per annum, was put up at £150,000:
the first offer was £97,000; it was knocked down at
£130,500, The Thornhill estate, in the borough of
Buckingham, consisting of 440 acres, rental £665, sold
for £22,800. The Stockhill farm, 2 miles from Bucking-
ham, consisting of 189 acres, sold for £8,300. Three
small dairy farms, in the county of Buckingham, were
sold respectively for £4,700, £490, and £2OO. The total
amount produced from the sale was £262,990.
FLINTSHIRE MINING INTEREST.—The Chester Chroni-
cle publishes the report of a sub-committee, appointed to
consider the best means of improving the trade of the
town of Holywell, having reference chiefly as to how far
the working of the lead mines is affected by the present
rate of royalties or farm-rents charged by the present
owners of mining lands. From this report, it appears
that the district contains a population of 10,000, of which,
when the mines were in full work, 4,000 found employ-
ment, but scarcely 300 now earn Bs. per week. The price
of the ore then, being surface ore, enabled the proprietor
to let his ground be worked much more advantageously
to the working miner than at present, but being got
within a depth of 30 or 40 yards, no heavy machinery
was required ; but now, the surface ore being cleared, it
Is necessary either to unwater certain localities, by driv-
ing deeper levels, or to use powerful steam-engines for
pumping, &c., which will require a large outlay of capital.
The report therefore urges that the proprietors themsel-
ves should work the mines or reduce their royalties, as
has taken place in the other mining districts, from an
eighth to a fifteenth. The royalty or rent was found to
be one-eighth on all qualities. in Cornwall, Devon, the
north of England, and Derbyshire, large works are con-
tinually undertaken and prosecuted, whilst in Denbigh-
shire and Flintshire, the mines are being abandoned one
after the other, no sufficient inducement to enterprising
capitalists being given. The committee are firmly con-
vinced that, if their views were carried out, not only the
interest of the town, but the owners of royalties. would.
be considerably benefitted.

THE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY.
ANNUAL REPORT, 1848.
The TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
of this Company took place on Tuesday, the 15th of February,
within the Company's Office, No. 3, George:s , 'dinburgh,
GEORGE MOIR, Esq., Advocate the Chair.
The Report and Statements submitte. y the Directors con-
tained a very satisfactory account of e progress of the Insti-
tution during the year 1847. It w, reported:—
That the NUMBER OF POLI ' s for Life Assurance issued
by the Company from 15 November, 1846, to 15th No-
vember, 1847, was 621
That the Sums Assu , • n during the same period, con-
tained in these Pol' ies, amounted to £443,578 4s. 11d.
That the NUMBER ' F APPLICATIONS for Policies made to
the Company, d from which the above transactions
were selected was 804, containing proposals for Assu-
rance to the xtent of £591,663 Bs.
That the AN, AL REVENUE of the Company, as at 15th
November, 1847, was £131,316 10s. 7d.
That the WHOLE AMOUNT OF ASSURANCES covered by the
Company's Policies, in force at 15th November, 1847,
was £3,252,090 14s. 10d.
The Report then proceeded as follows :
" The past year has been marked by the most extraordinary
features as regards commercial affairs and general credit ; but,
while all classes of society, especially the mercantile commu-
nity, and our public institutions connected with the general
affairs of commerce, have felt the pressure of the times, the
Life Assurance Institutions of the country have stood unaf-
fected by the crisis. Nothing can tend more to extend confi-
dence in these Institutions than this result; and it is to be
hoped they will always be found affording protection and dis-
pensing benefits to all connected with them, unaffected by
those periodical changes.
" Notwithstanding the unfortunate position of the country
during the past year, the amount of new business transacted
by this Company has exceeded to a large amount the business
of the previous year. The claims during the year have been
greater in proportion than usual ; but when the increased
mortality throughout the kingdom generally is remembered,
the Directors consider they have reason to be well satisfied
with the results."
After the Report and Statements were read, the Chairman
congratulated the Meeting on the favourable position of the
Company and its prospects generally, and again brought under
notice the most prominent features in the Report. He drew
attention to the great increase of the Business, the increase of
the Revenue, and the rapid accumulation of the Company's
Funds, which, it appeareu, HAD BEEN MORE THAN DOUBLED
DURING THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
The following Abstract, showing the new business transacted
by the Company annually since 1842, was referred to, as exhi-
biting in a marked degree the growing estimation of the
STANDARD in public favour:—

and Statements; and, after the election of new Directors in
the room of those retiring by rotation, in accordance with the
Act of Parliament, the Establishment of the Company for the
ensuing year was declared to be as follows :

JONES'S ESSENCE OF CONCENTRATED COMPOUND
DECOCTION OF RED JAMAICA SARSAPARILLA.

The high esteem in which Sarsaparilla has of late years been
held by Vedicat Practitioners, its reputation as a safe and effi-
cacious Domestic Medicine, and its consequently extensive use
among all classes of society, has rendered it one of the most
important remedies of the present age.
This preparation is compotsed of the finest Jamaica Sarsapa-
rilla imported, and prepared in Vacuo, by which the whole of
its essential properties are retained. The Proprietor can con-
fidently recommend it as one of the most efficient preparations
extant. It is most particularly taken as an alterative and pu-
rifier in the following affections :—Eruption of the Skin,
Pains in the Bones, Ulcerated Sore Throat, Scorbutic Affec-

Well-street, Cripplegate.
SIR,—I have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout
and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from
pain, and as helpless as an infant : not even a finger could I
move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me-
dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that
I might remain months in my deplorable situation.
Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might
have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli-
cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis-
appear; in a week I was capable of walking about room,
and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi-
cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack,
you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir, your obedient
servant,— 1). W. STONE.

Morle.v's Hotel, Strand, 18th August, 1846.
SIRS have hitherto had a prejudice against having recourse
to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe
sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried
several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I
was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called
" Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say
in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt
the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate
effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing
slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its
novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom
rom nain. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is
immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce
one to accept of the salvation you offer, I shall feel that I have
not lived in vain.—With many thanks,._l am yours,
HENRI VI LLENNEVE.
14, Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844.
SIR,—I feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer-
ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in
the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to
try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after
three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al-
though two years have passed, I have no return of the disorder.
—I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES.

resulting from its use :
