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 watch 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 irtg ‘ drase..4.lu . l.anY of .tbe_oorts from Gibraltar to - the M'alW - • -; 3. ,No 9i•Vp, profillain charged for residence in any part of Europ e, 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 the 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. G. 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 Filelity 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 favourab:e 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, &c. 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 cpode of Investment ; it combines all the advantages of Assurances and Savings It inks 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. li.

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 16s. per gallon, pale or coloured.

The treatment adopted is founded on expe r i en ce gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine bot h in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the know ledge thtis acquired are here condensed under the personal superv ision of Dr. La'Mert, himself n legally qualified physicians wh o have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this imp ortant branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of sofafthe immediate and oeof the few diseases incidental to the generative system, and ultimate cure are describ ed in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those wh o may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicateinthe ctreatmen t o nsideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite of these cases.

CHARGE OF FORGERY AGAINST A SOLICITOR..-00 Saturday a painful interest was excited in the commercial circles of Hull by the arrest of Mr. William Cooper Robinson, an attorney of hitherto highly respectable repute, pursuing his profession in Parliament-street in that town, on a char g e of having forged an I. 0. U. for 1,000/. It appears that on the previous day Mr. Robinson went to the office of Mr. Wells, of the firm of Park and Wells, bill discounters, and stated ' that he desired to negotiate an advance of 1,0001. on the deposit of some title-deeds a s security. Mr. Wells agreed to accommodate him to this exte nt, if sufficient value should be re p resen t e d by these deeds, which Robinson alle g ed to belong t o property of which a Mr. Priekett Mr. Prickett, the r emainder to be gagee, and th at t h e sum wa s required to pay off the mort was mort gage..

Feeling some doubt upon the matter, Mr. Wells made an excuse for leaving his office, and hastened to Mr. Prickett's, whe re h e at once found t h a t the signature to the I. O.U. was a forgery, and intimation having been given to the police, Mr. Robinson was at once apprehended. He was examined before the m A A --e M ayor and a full bench on Satur . day, Aucl lenuul.tew RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. WHITEEIAVEN JUNCTION. The half-yearly ge nera l meet i ng o f t h e proprietors of the Whitehave n J unct i on R a il way was held on Friday at the Swings B an k ; th e Right Hon , the Earl of Lonsdale in th e c h a i r. The SECRETARY (Mr. Y ea t s ) rea d t h e re p o rt of the directors, which stat e d th at t h e accounts f or the past half-year showed a rec e i p t from traffic of 5,28 21 . 15 s. 0 2., and an expendit ure o f 2,730 1 . 4 3 . 51 inte rest balance available for di v id en d , a f ter paymen t of on loans and preference shares, was 772/.163.8d., and it was proposed to divide 3s. per share. A sum of 2951. 17a. 101. is charged for repairs of sea walls. The works at Redness Point are nearly completed, and the cost will be about 1,100/. The further sum of 2501. will ba required for repairing other p o rtions of the wall between Rednes s P o i nt an d P arton , which the directors intend apportioning as follows :-796/. 3s. 91. to be paid out of the capital, and the remainder to be paid out of the revenue by setting apart a cer tain sum ette'3 half-year. The agreement for the use of the Maryport station expired on the 18th instant, end the directors have obtained a considerable reduc tion in the charges. An arr angemen t has been entered into with the Flimby Colliery Company for the conveyance of their coals o ver th e ra il wa y for a period of seven years ; and contr ac t s h ave b een en t e red into for the supply of 100 coal waggons on line at a fixed sum per annum,. the colli ery company indemni fying this company from any l oss i n t h e con t rac t s in the event of the colliery being discontinued. On the capital account a further expenditure of 1541. ss. 4d. has taken place during the half-year. The Noble CHAIRMAN then sa id, th e accoun t s o f this company, which had just been r e ad, var i e d very little from those submitted of ,last year. There was only a difference of Qa_ w t.,„.tlkreceipts. Last year 901: was received from' the Parnesi - Coitipany for the hire of an engine. There had als o b een some reduc tion in the charge for conveyin g th e ma i ls. Wi t h these exceptions the receipts for this half-year were as nearly as 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. Upon 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 saeri 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 th e tunne l con necting this company's line with that of the White haven and Furness Company would certainly be of some advantage ; they bad also a sum to receive from 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 c o mpany which would be available for that purpose. With regard to the walls, the principal portion of them was firm and i•olid. The prospects of railway p ro p er ty were generally looking better, and the amalgamation of f e south. Most Bist companies lo going promisingly f orwar d i n th likely, when they got another step to the south, it might prove to their interest to amal gamate with another company. Re moved that the report of the directore be received and adopt e d. The resolution was carried unanimously. A dividend of 3s. par 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. EASTERN UNION. The following is an abstract of the report to ba submitted to the half-yearly general meeting of shareholders on Friday next : "In the last ligle-yearly report the substance of the deed of arrangement entered into with the simple con tract creditors of the company is set forth, and the Bill introduced by the directors into Parliament last session was prepared in the shape advised by counsel as best calculated to give effect to such deed.

The report (of which the following► is an abstract) has been circulated amongit the proprietors previous to the half-yearly meeting to be held on Tuesday next : " The half-yearly accounts show an aggregate amount of passengers and goods traffic exceeding that of the corresponding half of last year. The increase in the goods traffic has been greater than at any previous time. The fish traffic .along, consequent upon an unfavourable season, has yielded much less than in former years. The total receipts have been 46,4371. 2s. 5d.; the expendi ture amounts to 25,1691. 10s. 4d.; and the net balance i 21,267/. 12 a.

The directors have received applications for the debenture stock, of which they have accepted suffi cient to provide for the debentures due on the 15th July last, and to admit of prospective arrangements for meeting those a?yable January July of next year. Availing themselves of the state of the money market, they have declined deben tures at any higher interest than 3i par cent. The works of the Plymouth Great Western Docks have been resumed, and are advancing. The original subscrip tion of this company to the Cornwall Railway amounted to 150,0001., and 22,500/. were paid upon calls, leaving a further liability of 127,5001. To lessen this the direc tors concurred in an application to reduce the capital of the Cornwall Railway Company, and abandon certain portions of the undertaking; and they have since agreed to a relinquishment of part of the company's subscrip tion. They have taken . measures for disposing' of a portion of the remaining shares, and these arrangements will have reduced the liability from 127,5001. to 44,062/. 103.; of which the sum of 3,375/. is debited in thetr account. The company will thus hold 2,620 shares of 20/. each, instead of 6.000 of 251. Resolutions will be submitted to the meeting to confirm these 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 Corn wall Railway Act. The directors have concurred in the arrangements fur 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 connexion with this com pany, to lease the lino in perpetuity. The directors have agreed. subject to the approval of the shareholders, to take the lease at 5,0001. per annum, and two-thirds of the surplus profits for the first two years, and at 6,0001, and a like proportion of profits, afterwards in perpetuity."

The Noble Duke left Newark for Clumber House soon after the news was received, and his place in connexion with the business of the society will be supplied by Mr. Heywood, M.P., who was formerly president. At ten o'clock on Thu rsday morning the members of the association, accompanied by Mr. Heywood, M.P., left Newark by special train for Lincoln ' where they were afforded an opportunity of viewing the numerous antiquarian remains for which the city of Lincoln is re markable. On leaving the castle, which was one of the strong holds founded by Willia ea the Conqueror, the visitors divided—Mr. Heywood, M.P., Mr. Oliveira, SI.P., and a number of the party proceeding to the residence of the Archdeacon, who fled kindly provided luncheon; while the remainder, at the invitation of the Mayor, re paired to the Town-hall, where they were entertained with great hospitality by his worship and the corpora tion. At six o'clock the party returned to Newark by special train.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—On Thursday last the I)rillee of Wale s p resented Mr. Bullmare, the boatswa in of her Majesty's y ac h t Victoria and Albert, w i t h a go ld call and chain, as a itestimonial of his Royal Highness's respect for his character and office. The Barracouta, 6, steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, was suddenly oiapatched to Madeira on Friday night, disturbances (it is reported) having broken out there likely to impede British intercourse and commerce. The Retribution steam-frigate, 28, Captain the Hon. J. R. Drummond, left Spithead for Lisbon to-clay, with dispatches for the British Minister and Rear-Admiral Corry. whose squadron she will find there. The Right Hon. H. T. L. Corry took passage in her. Lieutenant Mason, of the flag-ship Victory, pro ceeded to Ryde this afternoon, in the Fire Queen steam yacht, which towed the Port-Admiral's barge, to em bark her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Cathe rine of Russia and suite, a nd b r i ng them to this port. Her Highness was saluted by t h e R oyal Victoria Yacht Club on embarking, and by the Blenheim, 60, at Spit head, and also by the Victory on arriving in harbour. The Commander in-Chief and staff received the illus trious Duchess on landing, and she left for London by the 5 o'clock train.

Flag-Captain Austen and Commander Rice will return to England in the Hastings. The former has received a reprimand from the Admiralty on account of the severity of his punishments during the Christmas quarter, their Lord ships' attention having been among otbtr matters chiefly called to the circumstance of four men having received "four dozen" each, and then been turned out of the servic4 on the same day. The Hastings was very sickly at Trincomalee, having between 80 and 90 on the doc tor's list. The Sphynx, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Shadwell, on being docked at Calcutta to ascertain the injury sustained by her striding a sunken rock in the China Seas, was found to have a narrow escape of foun dering; her forefoot was shivered to pieces, and about 60 feet of the main keel knocked away. It was expected she would be ready for service again in a month from the 2d of July.

NEW AUSTRALIAN STEAM-PACKET CLEOPATRA On Saturday a fine new iron screw-steamer, named the Cleopatra, now lying in the East India Docks and intended to ran between England and the Australian open t colone with the inspectio n passenger s an d goo ds, was thrown of a party of the friends of the owners a nd oth ers , previous to starting on her first voyage. Several circumstances con spired to render the event an interesting one. Steam navigation between the mother country and her rising antipodean offspring is now only in i&3 earliest infancy; but it bids fair to undergo a rapid develop ment—a result which will doubtless be greatly ac celerated by the wondrous gold discoveries in that distant El Dorado. A walk round the capacious docks of the port of London, where so many noble ships are now to be seen, under charter for Australia, with human freights, will attest more forcibly per' haps than any other evidence 'c the prodigious and un precedented extent to whichthe • emigration spirit has permeated the masses of our country men. But this daily increasing tide is wafted from our shore almost a exclusively by means of sailing vessels, in whichtedious,f cry, and, at the best, very irksome and • four months, has to be encounteredul voyage, lasting more than This evil, however, is notli k by the emigrant to remain long with , out a remedy. Invention wal ly enterprise, of human amelioratio n , are about t twin agents add to their con quest by abridging the l argour and miseriesbn of this protracted transit. Steame rs h ave new to perform the Australian passage within two started at rates which already place the advantages months,f st con veyance within the reach of many cla sses o f : m a r grants, and which, by the aid of competition, will soon render those edvantagee accessible to the p oorest, to whom it is so desirable to see them extended. Am ong the foremost in initiating this excellent movement are the Messrs. M'Kean, Iti‘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 propritetors. 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 Tullcch 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 235 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 4 the Great Britain, having the lever hiultiplting power, while the Great Britain's ere on the eteillating princi ple. She is ship-rigged (full frig fte). S:e 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 eloss of emigrants are only required to furnish their own beds and bedding. The rates for each class are :—First cabin, varyime 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 Shakspere's dramas, brilliantly 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 notirmg 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 12i and 13 knots an hour. In her run from the Clyde on trial as far as the Spit Buoy, off Margate Sand, she averaged 10 1-3 d knots without sails, fair steaming. The total value of the vessel is upwards of 40,0001. Her cargo of goods amounts to 600 tons,and she also carries 600 tons of coal. She is commanded by Captain. H. R. Cum ming, formerly of the Geneva d and Livorno, Medi terranean screw-steamers carries an experienced br surgeon. She leaves London'an on the Ist of September, and Plymouth on the sith, her destination being r Phillip and Sydn e y • is t he , and expected to make passage in sixty d ays . When the company had completed their inspection of the vessel, which elicited universal admiration, they sat down to an excellent luncheon in toe saloon, and and sf • Ler drinking a variety of a pproen z e e toasts, they retired, wishi ng b on voyag e to the Cleopatra and prosperity to enterprising owners.
