At that time, tho Assurance. Company made no 1 difference between hoaltby and unhealthy lives, 'between jontb and. jftatnrity, between 12 and 45; 'The' Way, discovered by- Demplvro, of calculating a person’s expectancy, of life, is very aimplo. ; Assuming 86 as the average extreme of human Ilf?, half the difference -between that ago and the ‘actual age of the person. ‘ Thus', A man of 40 would have twenty-three years, to live, wljilq a man of fifty might expect to. live' eighteen years. There are remarks, ip this review, upon the -formation .of new. Life As surance Companies which the public, who may ; : thjuk of insuring, should read carefully. The Equitable Assurance Company, of London, ndvef were In a court of law but once, on- Whlch occasion the principal witness against them' admitted that q will upon which the amount of q polloy was claimed was. a for gory. There are now. ono hundred and eigh ty-five English and fifteen Scotch Life Assu rance Companies. Attempts at frand are fewer than might be anticipated. Mention is -made, by flic; reviewer, it of the extraordinary caie of Walter Watt, tried at tho Central Cri minal Court in May, 1860. Ho -was a clerk in the employment of the Globe, at two hundred pounds a year salary. His position gave him access to tho check-hook and pass-book, and •It was also a part of his duty to tio up the re turned chocks in a bundle. By boldly and 'dexfetpusly availing himself of his opportuni ties, lie contrived to plunder the company to an amount that sounds febulons. It is estima ted by Mr. Evans, tho author of ‘ Facts, Fail ures, and Frauds,? at £700,000; arid consi dering Watt’s stylo of living—his theatrical speculations; and his losses on tho turf during a series of' years—wo. can readily believe that hiß embezzlements might eventually have imperilled tho solidity of . even the great Globe itself.- That no suspicion fell upon him from his becoming .-the . proprietor, of two theatres, from his establishments fend equipages, or from his expensive associates amongst tho least reputable portion of the gay world, is utterly inexplicable.”—There is error ns well as exaggeration in this account. The total of Watts’ embezzlements was estima ted, at the time, to amount to £90,000, which novor could havo imperilled tho financial solidity of a Company whoso invested accumu lations exceed £9,000,000. He kept only a small cstablishriiont, a villa in St. John’s Wood, Kcgents Park, London. Ho had only ono oquipago—a plain Brougham, in which bo used to drive to tho Globe office, every day at 9, and depart in it ot4. Ho was examined by tho Board of Directors as to his outlay being notoriously so much greater than, liis salary, ,aqd his answer was that, in 1845, tho year of pailway speculations, they had given- him a -present of £lOO for extra work, with which, after tho fashion of the time, ho gambled in .SSiitL&n'LghffrCS, and prudently retired from Hiie risg -f. m nun ■.. art. showed his hanking account., ).v -vhlciitne pus sesslon ofthis amount,at thq.tlmo ho mentioned, was proved, and made a strong appeal against tho. hardship of being dismissed because ho had made money outside of his salary. Ho was retained. Ho never was what is called a sporting man, and therefore had no losses on tho tnrf. His weakness was the am bition ot being a theatrical Manager and Mie cenas. For this purpose, ho became lessee of two minor theatres in London, the Olympic and the Marylebono, of which, for a long time, —up to his “ smash,” we believe—the leading “stars” were Mrs. Mowatt and Mr. ,E. L. Davenport. These he paid liberally, the former munificently, it is said, but his’general salaries were rather under than over tho average.. He had no idea of paying good prices for dramatic novelties. It Is belioved that his embezzle ments were spread over five years, which would have made about £lB,OOO a year. His frauds were curiously detected, A check upon Glyn’s Bank, in discharge of a life policy of £1,600, had boen issued to a party authorized to receive it. This check, cashed at Giya’s, came hack with other cancelled checks In the banking pass-book of tho Globe Company. It was Watts’s business to check these off. He found that, in the huny of busi ness at the Bank, tho paying clerk had nsod a dry pen to cross off and obliterate tho Directors’ signatnreson this particular check. Honppro priated this uncancelied check and paid it into his own account at Glyn’s. When tho day’s work at the bank was being wound up, it was discovered that the £1,600 check had boon twice cashed., This led to an inquiry, and Watts was. arrested. As ho held a sliare in tho. Globe Company, which made him a part-, ner, he could not bo tried for robbing himself. He was indicted, therefore, for robbing Messrs. Glyn of the cheok itself, as “ one piece of paper,' VSluo ono farthing.” Convicted, he had his caso brought before n Court of Ap peal, which affirmed tho verdict.

B. .Lippincott & Co., as publishora, is really,a Oiribinnati book. ItwiU.be fol lowed by a Primary Grammar, Treatise of the English Language, and Mental Arithmetic (second edition), by tho same author. What Lindloy.Murray’s English Grammar formerly was, only with, bettor arrangement, more mo dern illustrations, and a more simple mode of exposition, this Treatise on the English Lan guage Is for this day. It is inflnitely filler, clearer, and more attractive,, explaining the pnnciplcs of tho language with minuteness and a thorough undorstanding.of them.. American Ornithology. ■ Tho following is extracted from ono of a series of interesting, original essays, in the Mta Californian, on tho ornithology "of tho Pacific regions of the United States: “ There are in California sixty*six species cf birds belonging to the order- of swimmers, (iVitfo - tores) ; of these, there are ■ two swans, six geese, twenty»two of the duck kind, four albatross, 'two petrols, seven gulls, four terns, three pellloans three > oormorants, four guillemot, one loon, and various miscellaneous speoies. Tho trumpeter swnn, the four albatrosses, fire of the gulls, two petrels, ihe Ison and tho murre are found only on tbisoossk “The trumpeter, swan Buccinator) is a very large bird, five feet in length from the point of its bill to the tip of its tail: and its width from -point to point of the, outstretched Vf ings, is over sir' feet. Its plumage is snowy white in color; its legs and bill black. Tbo name of ‘ trumpeter 1 is given it because of its clarion-like soronm, which is heard as it filos. It frequents the lakes in the north ern and northeastern portion of the State,' and is sometimes soon in the rivers. It is ashy bird and is rarely killed. “The t American swan, 1 found also on the At lantic slope of the continent, is very similar to the trumpeter, hut lacks its loud voice, and Is other* 'jatU* ft ohieflv. bv havintr an tlroly, black; “ The wild goeso arc far more Abundant In Cali fornia than they were 'in thq Mississippi Talley Among thorn are the Gftnadn'goose (Bernida Cana limsis), tho snow goose (Amur Hmicrborittfj. Vke white-footed goose, or spookled holly (Ant'r Ery thropus), Hutcbin’s gooso' ( Bernida Hutckin siiy, and - the'blaok Brandt ( Bernida Nigri cans). Hutobin’s gooso is tho most abundant.” - Tho “ American swan,” above spoken of, is-yet to bo found in the river Potomac, which Indian name, it is said, means tho “river, cf swanß.” They aye, yet sometimes killed by hunters, and brought to the Washington city markots for sale, and are esteemed by epicures to bo a great delicacy. Tho newly-discovered field for ornithologists in tho Pacific country will doubtless entice some, in emulation of Winsosi, AcDunoy,,and CaABbEB Bonaparte, to furnish additions to tho soionce from tho- numerous novel speci mens said to have been discovered in those regions.. Except the East Indies, and China, tho North American continent ihrnishes tho greatOßt supply of material for tho study of the scientific naturalist of any portion of the globe, and tho feathered-race in Northern America arc generally more capable of being made to subserve the uses of man than those of the tropics.

Letter from New York* f* SENATOR BRODERICK A 3 SENATOR PROM CALIFCR . NIA AND AS YOUNG VANIN NRW YORK—VAST NUM BER OP STRANGERS IN NEW YORK—MORTALITY RETURNS : A THOUSAND DEATHS IN A WEEK—THET POBT BRYANT’S DESCRIPTION OP THE AURORA BOREALIS. . ‘ ' (Correspondence of The Press.] Nbw York, Aug. 31,1859. Tn a specoh delivered at a mass meeting at Fla-' eerville, California, on the 9th of July, Sonator Broderick mado the following personal allusion to himself: ’ “I have lived among you for more than ten f'ears. From the commencement and during this ong period, when the gross vices of public men -were winked at, or forgotten, on aooonnt of the genera! laxity of morals that prevailed In society, unleavened by tho presence of virtuous womon, no man, living or dead, ever saw me at a gaming tablo, iu a brothel, or under the infiueucoofliquor, or over knew me to refuso to pay an honest debt. 1 ' Those who know Senator Brodoriok in this city, fifteen years ago, when ha was a ward politician, a fireman, and -the keeper of a drinking saloon, soaroely thought ho would at this tirao b.o one of tho representatives of California in the Senate of tho United States.' Although his early associa tions wore among tbe roughs of tho roughest part of tbe city, ho was always noted for the reotltndo of hia conduct, and for the resolute manner in which ho breasted the temptations by whioh he was surrounded. He was never seen drunk, cover gambled a dollar, and never visited lionses of ill fame. ' Ho has educated himself and engineered himself thus far through life in a manner worthy the study of thoso whose lot. it is to start from the lowest round of the social ladder. His old friends •in Now York regard with profound interest the great struggle in whioh he is now engaged in Cali fornia, resembling, as It does, -to some extent, tho last grand battle in Blinois, where tho“ Giant” encountered and overcame the most formidable opposition ever arrayed against any public man in- America. As Douglas stood thon, so,Broderick stands now—botween tho fire of strong men in his own party aud the ssrriod ranks of the Opposi tion. . ' Now York was nover so plethoric with strangers as at tho present momont, And tho hotels aro posi tively coining money. Beds and shake-downs aro made up in the publics parlors and tea-rooms, and sofas and lounges aro reckoned luxuries for a night’s repose. The halls and corridors of:the Metropolitan. St. Nicholas, Astor House, La Fargo, and even tho now Fifth-avenue Hotol, only opened last week, are so thronged with, people, that it is difficult to elbow your way in or out. ‘ The last weekly report of tho oity inspector shows a mortality of 710—of which number 328, or nearly one half of the whole, died from disoaees of the di gestive organs. Throat and lung diseases carried off 124, thoflo of the brain and nervous system 110. Tho number of still-born deaths—forty-two—is pro bably larger than that in'any other city of equal po pulation. Tho numborof deaths in Brooklyn during the same week was 161. I have no figures from Jersey City or Hoboken, which, like Brooklyn, may bo regardod os suburbs of New York; but es timating the weekly mortality thoro to have beon in tho same' ratio, tho grand total of tboso who during tho weok wore “ gathered to their fathors,” would bo noarly one thousand. Everybody is talking of tho brilliant atmosphe ric phenomenon witnessed on Sunday evening.' At nine o’clock it surposs3ed anything 1 ever beheld.

(Wo noticed at the time of the rendition of this verdict, that “Mae,” a quondam reportorial friend,was ped in the anus of Morpheus, and his gentle «uo* > served to convince us that on tbe.previocr night ho most have given more than usual atten- - tion.to his theological studies.

The . difficulty origi nated about the children of tbo parties.' Tuo cause was trivial. N. B.

The prosecutor wai r as a Mr. Clark, who owns some property on the-XirayVFeny road. It ap pears that he was annoyed by ft crowd of young pilferert, who robbed.his fruit-trees.,-Ho .stated tbjat wbon tho boys wero taking some pears ho deli berately shot at them with a garf, wounding ono of them severely. The defined alleged that the pro secution originated in mslioidns motives, and that Mr. Clark had a difficulty with' the family of Pitts,. who were proven to be quite respeotable. Pitts, by several witnesses, was shown to be an industrious and quiet. lad. His xnothor testified (hat he was between twelve and" thirteen years of age. The jury .retired to deliberate, and returned with a veraiot of guilty, with a recommendation to tho mercy of the court. Hugh McGuigan was.char god with forcible en try. Jfc is alleged that the defendant violently en- ■ iored the residence of Mrs. Ann Hodge, with a view ofinfiioting violence on her son,* whom ho called, in tones of reproach, an Orangeman. Mrs. Hodge testified that she hod inflicted summary punish ment on tbo defendant, whose forehead bore ample evidence of a sanguinaryioonflict between the par ties. Prom the evidence, it was quite apparent that the exit Was as forciblo'as the entry. Mr. “ Collins, one of the counsel for the defence,, asked one of tho witnesses whether ho did not, on the sth July, drink a health to King 1171111010. “ No, sir, 1 ' was the response. ** when I take- a drink to King William, it is on the :12th of July.? 1 (Laughter.} The ovidenco revealed the fact -that the whole : difficulty ' originated in t the different- religious 1 persuasions of the parties. An allusion to the “ battle of the Boyne*’ produced .oOnaldernbla . mirth. The case was submitted, after argument,-. ' tho District Attorney stating that he thought tho charge had not boon made out. This was the ge -1 neral impression on all sides; but the jury, after i somo reasoning peculiar to themselves, acquitted the defendant, hut put the oo3ts on him why a man should pay costa, when the charge is declared to be unfounded, and especially after ho Is proven to be a victim of violence,' is a question that we leave others to answer; District Attorney Mann for the Commonwealth; Geo.

This termination of tha -ease was evidently cot looked for by thedefend&nt,, who is a man of very respectable appearance, and! .according to the evidence, of nnbiemished charac ter*, Sentonded to an imprisonment of ton days in the Connty Prison. ' Caroline Smith was sentonoed to an imprison ment of sixty days in Moyamenging. The sentence of young Pitta was suspended for the present, Judge Ludlow stating that a motion for a new trial bad been made by the counsel for the asoused. Richard Nagle, Sr., and Richard Nagle, Jr., were each sentenced to pay a fine of five dollars, and tho costs of prosecution. Catharine Warner was fined ond dollar and costs.
