VINO 0OeS not TeCUIect Diiy W ''"7
Comedian, familiarly known as Billy oil 'ne
Wells, which latter cognomen ne derived
from having been connected for several years
with the Saders Wells Theatre, London
Billy was one of the best naiured men alive,
and, without very brilliant education, he
was an actor; it is true that he sometimes
gave Lindley Murray a wide berth when
using his own language instead of that of an
author We shall never forget conversa-
,ion which We overheard between Billy and
w. F.. Burton, at Windust's. Billy sat in his
usual seat, and was endeavorng to make
himself agreeable to those around him.
Burton, who delighted in quizzing Billy,
made some enquiries of him relative TO a
horse belonging to Mr.. Hamblin, which
seemed to arouse Billy, and he thus COM
menced his reply
aNow, Burton, l'll tell you all about that
'orse; you see, when first arrived, l said to
'Amblin, tom, I wants an 'orse 4; Eve al
ways been used to ave an 'orse, and would
like TO ave one.'
asBilly,' says he, lyon know Mazeppa; he
has earned me great deal of money, and
will no, permit him TO be misused, but if you
want TO ride him you may, and my stage
manager, Tom Flynn, will go with you to the
stable'"
$50 down goes to the stable with Tom
Flynn, and told the man to put the saddle on
him"
sOn Tom Flynn !" says Burton.
ssNo, on the 'orse. So after talking with
Tom Flynn awhile, mounted him."
"Wha., mounted Tom Flynn :"
"No, the 'orse and then | shook hands
with him, and rode off,"
s'Shook hands with the horse, Billy :"
ssNo, damn it, with Tom Flynn; and then
rode off up the Bowery, and who should |
meet in front of the Bowery Theatre but Tom
'Amblin, so got off and told the boy to hold
him by the head"
"What! hold Hamblin by the head"
uNo, the 'orse, and then we went in and
lad drink together"
stWhat! you and the horse"
0No, me and 'Amblin; and after that
mounted him again and went out of town."
'sWhat! mounted Hamblin again?"
"No, the 'orse and when got out to
Burnham's, who should be there but Tom
Flynnn-he'd taken another 'orse and rode
out ahead of me, so told the 'osler to tie
him up"
cite Tom Flynn up!'
"No, damn it, the 'orse, and we had
drink there"
"What you and The horse'
"No, me and Tom Flynn. Now look here,
Burton, every time | say 'orse you say 'Anb-
lin, and every time say 'Amblin, you say
'orsc. Now I'll be 'anged if | tell you any
thing about it,"
Billy felt his dignity insulted, and no coax
ing on the part of Burton could induce him

To the Editors of the Times

| GENTLEMEN Being agent for a Life Insurance Com
pany have been Intercepted several times respecting
article in your paper OF the 9th Instant, copied from
the New York Journal OF Commerce In lhat article a
caution is given TO persons dependent uncertain in
come, against insunng their lives on the plan OF annual
payments giving as a reason that IN Great Britain,
where it is estimated that is 100000 is annually paid
for life insurance, large numbers surrender their policies
after having paid several premiums, because they are
not able to make future payments thus loosng what
they have paid and death leaving benefit for their
families support | admit that such is bad case
After stating the only mode know OF avoiding this
calamity, hope to show why the risk OF not being able
to make future payments should not deter persons from
making the effort to sustain policy OF some amount
by stated payments The only way to a sum 10
be paid the death of tho insured, without the risk of
being unable to meet future payments, is to pay down
stipulated amount at the time OF taking the policy OF
course the premium required would be so large that very
few are able to pay and the few who could are so well
provided for as to feel little inclination to insure at any
For those who would it would be better for them 10
invest larger in good stocks, and let the interest
pay their premiums by annual Instruments and death
leave their families the policy and the stocks which
would be the saving OF the stocks entire death should
occur within the first year. The system OF annual quar-
tery monthly or weekly instruments adopted in this
country affords opportunity to persons OF limited means
to insure while would be nexpedent for them under
the other system. The reasons why persons should
hesitate to insure at the risk OF being unable 10 meet M
ture payments many. L will, however, state but
few in this communication, viz list. The risk of not
being able to meet the next payment is not greater than
the uncertainty OF living until 1t shall be due. I'd. Few
persons who are prudent and provdent enough to in
sure are so situated not to be able to look forward
with some degree of certainty for ability to meet their
future payments. 3d. If persons insured, by cause OF
sickness have not the to pay the premium it is
always the interest of friends to assist hem as the DO
cy affords ample security for return Of such aid and
moi unirequently the Company will pay the insured more
Tor his policy than has cost him. 4h Ii the insured
IS not able to pay his premium tho day it due he has
hly days to do So provided his health continues good

Mr.. FooTE having spoken, at some length, in re-
ply to the brief remarks of Mr. CLAY, which we
published yesterday,-dweling chiefly upon the
view that it was inconsistent with Mr. Claws
scheme of general and final settlement of all the
slavery questions, to take up by itself the question
of admitting Californa-he concluded his speech
as follows:

DELEGATE FOR THE CITY, MR. HEATH, &c.
"a Voter" in the Times OF Saturday, proposes that
the citizens OF Richmond elect Mr. James b. Heath their
Delegate to the next General Assembly, by way of es-
tyng their disapprobaton OF the pursued towards
him by the present Legislature.
1t seems to me it would be a much more appropriate
and valuable compliment to Mr. Heath, if we could give
him or procure for him some office or employment in
which he would be comfortable for life rather than give
HIM place in the Legislature, which is oitener crown
OF thons than bed OF roses 1t does need the list
OF an election TO demonstrate the dsapprobation of the
people OF Richmond OF the prescription of Messrs
Heath and Lawson from the offices which they so faith
FULLY hlled Tor no one can doubt that that of cruel
injustice is dsapproved by the whole body of the Wings
and by many Democrats besides. Besides is the pro-
scrpton OF Mr. Heath by the Democrats reason why
the Wings should prescribe Mr.. Mayo who advocated
and voted for the election OF Mr.. Heath!
1t is proper to say that write this without consua-
ton with Mr. Mayo, Mr., Heath or any one else, and
that am quite much friend TO Mr. Heath as to Mr.
Mayo. hope that "A Voter himself will concur with
me IN my suggestions. A CITIZEN.

PHoNoTYpY.-Mr Davis, of Massachusetts, on
Thursday, presented in the Senate, the following
curious petition
The undersigned citizens of thhe United States,
spectuly petition Congress TO pass law by winch the
speeches and reports of both Houses shall be printed in
phonotypy, legible and accurate system of printing
by sound which, after prolonged examination has
received the unanimous approval OF committee OF the
American Academy Of Arts and Sciences and by means
OF which the one million of white persons in this country
over five years OF unable to read or write can learn
10 do both in one-fi fifteenth OF the usual time.
Mr. Davis at first proposed to refer the petition
10 the Committee on Printing Mr. Borland, the
chairman of that committee, protested, saying that
the committee had another of the same sort be-
fore them, which they could not read. He sug-
gested reference to the Foreign Affairs. FL
nally, on Mr. Daviss motion, it was sent to the
"learned committee on the Library"
Whatever may be thought of phonotypy, the
kindred art of phonography, "a system OF steno-
graphy dependent upon the theory of represent
ING sounds by signs,) is undoubtedly practsed
with remarkable success. Standing, few days
ago, in the reporters gallery of the Senate, we
observed youth, apparently not more than II or
