The weather the latter part of last week, was en.
teemely unfavourahle for the dead Markets ; the greater
part of the Country Meat in a very bad state, sal from
Bd. to 13.4 d. per stone, which his eouipletely stopped •
the country people from sending any rises' to London

in killing, the dead trade has been better for the last

BUTTER. •
A comparison of prices between this week.and last,
will chew that the advance occasioned by ;he specult-
tine mentioned last week WS not been maintained.-
Some slight attempts have beep made to back the ope-
rations of the great speculator; but the parties treileng
them have lacked sonactiing necessary to give effect to
their endeavonrs. "A barnl Mild dreads the fire ;"
in this trade theyhave all been "burnt" at some time
or other. A speculation, which, only a few years age,
used to infuse a new spirit into the whole trade, MOl2
fills every one with forebodings as to the consequence..
Butter is now coming in iu gre..t quantities; and there it
every probability of there bei'!g quite enough, even if
the speculaturialiold their stocks over till nest se rson.-

We deem it our duty,-iii.-Puhliii-Jotirnalists, to call the
attention of our readers to whatever impror, meats may-
from time to time be made in our domestic policy ; to
point out abuses in the management of the different na-
tional establishments in order that the naJioo may enjey
the benefit of as perfect a system of government as the
encreasing light of the age demands. But while thus
occupied with generals, it is our desire not to lose sight
of the minute or particular parts of our social system ;
being persuaded that the more individual happiness and
prosperity is promoted, the greater will be the sinn of
national wealth and splendor. We have been led 10 these
remarks from a consideration of the ineonveniencies to
which most of the working part of the community stand
exposed in times of sickness and disease, the effects of
which might be almost, if not altogether, prevented by
an effective economy during health. But it may be
said, that what a poor man with a family can spare from
his earnings, will go but a little way towards Its
support and that of his family during a protracted ill-
ness; we admit at once the truth of the position, and in
reply would say, that what cannot be Kermit:mil...bed i.y
one individual, may with ease be dune by the many, and
thus are we led to bring before our readers as Establish-
ment, tow hick on several occasions we have before al-
hided-an Institution, whose peculiar boast is, that it
adapts its benefits to time wants of the poor arid labouring
class of the community. Our readers (those at least to
whom the Institution is known) will at once perceive
we allude to the Insurance Office in Ablersgste-street
an Institution that we are happy to say is rising in pub-
lic estimation every day; and the tilleeess of which is
not owing to either abuse of rival establishments, or to
advertising forbusiness below otherolnees, but of 'grow-
ing sense of its utility, and of a conviction of the treat
and important benefits which it is as eminently calve-
taunt to confer on the public. Among the it trty
stances that have come to our knowledge, where the
usefulness of this eslabliehrnent bas twet conspicuone,
the following may be noticed as one taken at random,
from a multitude of others equally entitled to attention.
