At The Iiasr Half-Yeablx Meeting Of The ...
At the iiAsr Half-yeablx Meeting of the Railway Passengers Assurance Company , held last Thursday , it was announced that 4048 ? . 3 s . lid . had been paid by the company as compensation to sufferers by accidents on railways during the past year . In this are comprised two fatal cases—one of 500 / . to the widow of a inail-guard 5 and another of 200 / . to the child of a poor woman who , on returning by railway from visiting her daughter , met with an accident , and she having paid merely one penny for an insurance ticket , thus secured the amount to her family . In the collision at Croydon , on the 21 st of August , where three persons were killed ,
seven of those injured held insurance tickets , and the sum of 421 / . was paid . On the 19 th of September six persons were injured by the falling in of the Bramhope Tunnel , and were awarded the sum of 449 / . The total compensation paid , from the formation of the company , amounts to 16 , 221 / . 5 s . It appears that although railway accidents have not diminished i n number , only 321 , 000 persons—a mere fraction of the vast multitude who travelled by railways—insured during the last year . The state of the funds , however , enables the directors to declare a dividend of four per cent , free from income-tax , reserving a balance to meet charges and risks .
Gambling . — " When I was at Venice , " Jerome tells us , " at the festival of the birth of the Virgin , I lost my money at cards , and on the next day what remained ; but I was in the house of the man with whom I played . When , therefore , I noticed that he used foul play , I wounded him in the face with a poniard , but slightly . There were present two youths of his 'household , and two spears were hanging from the rafters , and the house-door was fastened with a key . But when I had taken from him all his money , both his own and mine , having won back early that morning , and sent home by my boy the clothes and rings that I had lost to him on the preceding day , I flung back to nim of my own accord , some of the
money , because I saw that he was wounded . Having achieved so much , Cardan pointed his sword at the two servants , and threatened death to them if they did not unlock the door and let him out . Their master balancing the cost in his own mind , and finding , says Jerome , that what he had now lost was not more than he had previously taken , bade that his- assailant should be suffered to go unmolested . The fierce passions aw _ akened i n the gambler made such scenes no doubt sufficiently familiar , and the Venetian either was conscious that he had provoked an attack , by being guilty of the charge upon which it was founded , or he was a hospitable , kindly man . He took the dagger-thrust in friendly part and bore no malice , for there is a sequel to the story . —Jerome Cardan . ~

Money Market And City Intelligence. Frid...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , March 16 , 1855 . A masked improvement has taken place all through the week in Consols and Shares . The belief in immediate peace has been universal in the moneyed world , and the telegraphs from Vienna give a colo uring to this , as they inform us that Russia accepts the Four Points as a basis for negotiations . There has been , therefore , besides large piirchases in Consols , a brisk trade in Railway Shares , & c . Turkish have fluctuated considerably , but seem now inclined to stand higher than 80 . In Russian Securities there has been but little doing . Should the accounts from Vienna become more and more couleur de rose , we shall see a continued , rise , to be dashed down at last , perhaps , by the intelligence that in the most important part Russia fl atly refuses to SiCC & cic Railways have been very firm .

To enumerate tho many advantages derived by the Public from the use of tho Improved Pateut Groats is not tho intention of tho Patentees ; suffice it to say that , by the process of manufacture , the acidity and unpleasant flavour so generally complained of in other preparations is totally obviated , and very superior Gruel speedily made therefrom .
