A mong the foremost in initiating this excellent movement are the Messrs. M'Kean, M'Clarty, and Co., of Liver pool, the spirited owners of the Cleopatra—a private firm, and not an incorporated joint-stock company, with all the appliances and machinery of a board of directors and a general body of proprietors. Their noble vessel, the Cleopatra, which was originally de signed for the Liverpool and Brazil trade, was built in the Clyde, by Alexander Denny and Brother, of Dumbarton. Her engines were manufactured by Tulloch and Denny, also of Dumbarton. Her bur den is 1,500 tons, and her engines are 300-horse power. Her extreme length on spar-deck from tafrail to main stem, is 225 ft. 4 in ; breadth of beam, 32 ft. 6 in.; and depth of hold, 27 ft. Her engines are of a different construction from those of the Great Britain, having the lever multiplying power, while the Great Britain's are on the oscillating princi ple. She is ship-rigged (full frigate). She contains accommodation for 130 first, 120 second, and 60 third cabin passengers, and everything is provided in the vessel for the first two classes, who have only to step on board with a portmanteau and they are per fectly equipped for the passage. The third class of emigrants are only required to furnish their own beds and bedding. The rates for each class are :—First cabin, varying from 801. to 651.; second, 40/. ; and third, 251. The saloon is roomy, light, and well-ventilated, and fitted up with much elegance and taste, the panels being ornamented with pictorial subjects from Sbakspere's dramas, brilliantly alevthv ,ihen€o,erinfte hoemmiwstnoiioidsgtumerreaaeotinniscoyonuswntnsaapctirribttryelei wafted executed on glass. The vessel is fitted with six water-tight compartments ; and an artificial refrige rator, with the newest improvements, is being pro vided, capable of condensing one thousand gallons of salt water per diem, and rendering it perfectly fresh. There is also constructed below the water-line in the fore peak a large safe encircled with ice and salt petre, calculated to preserve fresh meats for three weeks or a month. In fact nothing has been wanting in the entire arrangements of the ship to secure the comfort and safety of the passengers. With re gard to her speed it is estimated that with any thing like a favourable breeze she will make be tween 12} and 13 knots an hour. In her run from the Clyde on trial as far as the Spit Buoy, a n of Medi terranean screw-st eamers, off Margate Sand, s h e averaged 10 1.3 d knots without sails, fair ste am i ng.

The public in general are invited to a consideration of the compre hensive plan of this Society. Whilst it transacts all the ordinary business of Life Assurance on the most liberal conditions, it freely opens its doors to those exposed to extra risk, and affords them advantages which have heretofore been denied. It grants Assurances against every contingency of life to persons of all classes or professions, on terms equitably adjusted to the risk incurred. SPECIFIC ADVANTAGES. 1. This Society. grants Assurances on the lives of all classes, in cluding Seafaring, Military, and Naval Service, as well as persons proceeding as passengers to foreign climates. 2. No extra premium charged on Assurers who desire to travel be tween any.port in the - United Kingdom and any of the ports from Gibraltar to the Sound. 3. No extra premium charged for residence in any part of Europe, in Australia, or Canadas, or any healthy parts of North or South America. 4. Assurances may be had on the Lives of Mariners, to cover the constant trade between the United Kingdom and any part of the world, or the constant trade in any given place, as for instance be tween the East Indies and China. .... The premium for a specific voyage may be obtained on liberal terms. 5. The extra premium which is charged for residing in unhealthy climates, or for actual service in military or seafaring pursuits, is discontinued on return to, and during residence in, the United Kingdom, or the healthy parts of Europe. The Policies are then continued during residence at tilt ordinary premiums standing against the age of the assured at the time of effecting the assurance, evi dence as to health being first adduced to the satisfaction of the Di rectors. 6. The whole of the profits divided among the assured for life, all of whom are proprietors, and possess control over the management without responsibility. 7. Guarantee Policies for Fidelity of Trust, in combination with Life Insurance, granted at little more than the simple rate for ordi nary Life Policies. 8. All Policies indisputable, except in cases of premeditated fraud. No charge to the assured for medical fees, stamp duties, or any other expenses in effecting a policy beyond the premium. 9. The Directors give favourable consideration to proposals from diseased or non-select cases, at premiums proportioned to the risk, a system especially advantageous to parties whose health may have been impaired by over attention to business, foreign residence, &sc. From the principles which are here briefly stated, it is evident that the system of assurance acted on by the Hope Office cannot be too strongly recommended. To all who have any surplus capital it offers a secure and profitable mode of investment ; it combines all the advantages of Assurances and Savings Banks together, for, in the event of premature death, a large capital is at once created for the survivors, that would require years to be produced by any other mode of investment.

Supported as to its purity at its outset by the testimonials of such men as the late Dr. Turner, the late Mr. Hume, and of living celebrities, professed chemists, who analysed the spirit, it ever has been unrivalled for its WHOLESOMENESS ; the patronage it has continuously enjoyed vouches the universal appreciation of its FLAVOUR, which is identical with that of choice Champagne Brandy. It is sold throughout the Kingdom, by respectable dealers, in glass bottles, protected by the Patent Metallic Capsules, at 3s. a bottle ; in dozens, bottles and cases included, at 18s. per gallon ; and in stone jars of two gallons and upwards, at his, per gallon, pale or coloured.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequence s resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation ill Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medi ca l and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable s ec r e cy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

The Noble CIIAIRMAN then said, the accounts of this company, which had just been l e it varied very little from those submitted of last year. There was only a difference of 1231. in the receipts. Last year 901. was received from the Furness Company for the hire of an engine. There had also been some reduc tion in the charge for conveying the mails. --With these excsptiona the receipts for this half-year were as nearly a 3 possible, the same as those for the corre sponding period of last year; and, with respect to the expenditure, there was only a difference of 471. The sea-wills have given some trouble, and must, to some extent, affect the dividend. Ulm consulting various shareholders upon this subject, the prevailing opinion was found to be that they would rather have a certain dividend than apply all the revenue to the repair of the walls, and the only difference in the dividend between the present and the last year would be a shilling minus per share. Those proprietors who could not well sacri flee all that was available for dividend must keep up their spirits, and look for a better dividend in twelve months. Their prospects for the ensuing half-year were somewhat better than they were at the com mencement of this. The opening of the tunnel con necting this company's line with that of the White haven and Furness Company would certainly be of some advantage ' • they had also a sum t o rece i ve f rom the Lancaster and Carlisle Company for the hire of an engine, and there were one or two other items with which the directors hoped to be able to liquidate the cost of repairing the sea-walls. With respect to that remaining to be paid out of capital, there was money yet unborrowed upon the shares of the company which would be available for that purpose. With regard to the walls, the principal portion of them was firm and solid. The prospects of railway property were generally looking better, and the amalgamation of railway companies going promisingly forward in the south. Most likely, when they got another step to the south, it might prove to their interest to amal gamate with another company. He moved that the report of the directore be received and adopted. The resolution was carried unanimously. A dividend of 3s. per share, less income-tax, was declared, payable on the 30th of August instant. The retiring directors and auditors were unani mously re-elected, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting broke up. rectors purpose taking such matter into consideration at as early period after the forfeiture of the shares shall bare been confirmed. and the cr.:liter account of the company adjusted."

The Bill passed the Standing Orders Committee, and was read a second time, and referred to a Select Committee of the House of Commons; and although from previous negotiations the directors had supposed that it would meet the support of the preference, as well as of the common stockholders, thirteen petitions were presented against it. After lengthened negotiations, and two adjourtments of the Select Committee on the Bill, an arrangement was come to with the preference shareholders, and they withdrew their opposition, upon all the causes in the Bill affecting their interests as a class being struck out, they consenting to permit debts of .he company to an amount not exceeding 2 50,000/. to 30 converted into stock of the company, t o b e calle l `C re ditors' Stock,' at a rate of interest not exceeding 4/, per cen t. per annum, and also to aut h orise the asue of new shares, at the same rate of interest, * to the amount of 77,8251.; such stock and shares to be entitlei to payment of their dividends next in priority after payment of the interest on the debenture debt. The Colchester Stour Valley Railway Company were induced to give up their claim for arrears of rent to the Ist of July last, and to consent to a further reduction upon the rent. The late solicitors consented to abate upwards of 5,0001. from their bills o f cos t s , t o g i ve up their claim for two years ' interest upon their balance s , and to receive p a yment in creditors' st oc k a t p ar f or near fives -sixths of their cla i m as so reduc e d. Th e Bill, i n its modified shape, pa ssed the Select C omm i t t ee o f t h e House of Commons; but on its third readi ng , an amendment was introduced at the instance of a l arge pre f erence shareholder, ren dering the consent of th e p re f erence shareholders, No. 1, necessary to the issue, at a p re f erent i al interest, of the new sha res; and subsequently, a t the Wharncliff e medttng, a furthe r amendment was introdu ce d which renders necessary t h e consent of the com mon s h areholders to the conversion o f the 250,0001. debts into creditors' stock ; by the Bill it is provided that the new shares and creditors' stock shall be redeemable at par. The Act so amended has received the Reps' assent, and in addition it enacts that the rent for the Harwich line shall be appropriated to the pay ment of interest at 4/, per cent. upon the capital ex pended in its construe thus enabling to construct that line without any additional burden upon the company, and to secure the advantages from ha" the nd surplus profits remaining after pay ment o f t h e rent,. a from the reservation of the Eastern Union Railway traffic from the line north of Manningtree. ion of " The directors report that they are in possess hat the land required for half of the Harwich line, and half, active steps are being taken to obtain the remaininggof the and to proceed rapidly with the works.

The company will thus hold 2,620 shares of 201. each, instead of 6,000 of 251. Resolutions will be submitted to the meeting to confirm those arrangements for limiting the liability of the company, and to enable the directors to provide for further calls as they occur, by raising money on the security of the shares, under the special powers to that effect contained in the Cora wall Railway Act. The directors have concurred in the arrangements for proceeding with the Cornwall Railway. The revival of the scheme for making a railway from Tavistock in connexion with the South Devon Railway, has engaged the attention of the directors. The pro visional committee of the South Devon and Tavistock Railway Company have proposed to raise the required capital, and, to maintain the connexiou with this rofits afterward in com pany, to lease the line i n p er p etuity. The directors have agreed, subject to the app roval of the shareholders, to take the lease at 5,0 00 /. per annum, and two-thirds of the surplus profits for the first two years, and s at 6,0001., and a like proportion of p , perpetuity." LEEDS AND BRADFORD. This railway, which some years ago passed under the control of the Midland Company, has now held its final half-yearly meeting. The shareholders as sembled on Friday, Mr. J. Waddingham in the chair, for the last time. The report, and the dividend of 21. 10s. per share, less income-tax, payable on the 24th August, were unanimously agreed to. Mr. Ripley was appointed auditor. We give a summary of the report : " In pursuance of the Act passed last year, authorizing the Midland Comp y alvacquire this company's estate al t, and interest in the - eeds and Bradford Railway, the Midland Company ha e given notice that they will pay the 1,800,0001. commutation-money on 4th October next. The Miland Company have created 18,000 shares of 100/. each, called 'Midland Bradford Shares,' bearing a dividend of 41. los. per share per annum for the first five years, and 41. per share afterwards. They have offered to each proprietor in this company, in exchange for his Leeds and Bradf or d s h ares , an equivalent number of Midland Bradford shares. On payment of the commu tation-money on the 4th October, this company will be practically dissolved , and their mostgage debt and other liabilities will become the debts of the Midland company." The usual vote of thanks was given to the chair man, and the meeting broke up. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.
