This Association has been formed principally with the view of af fording to gentlemen engaged in HOVERNEENT and PUBLIC OFFICES, BANKING HOUSES, and MERCANTILE ESTA BLISIINIEN'Fie, a safe and advantageous mode of investing a portion of their incomes, either by way of deposit, at 71. per Cent. compound. Interest, or in the purchase of freehold or leasehold residences. The operatious of this Society will be regulated by Tables prepared expressly for that purpose by two eminent actuaries. The leading principles of this Society are 1. Perfect equality of benefit between all the Members, whether borrowers or not. 2. Certainty In the atponnt of advance to which each Member wialliarg to anticipate his Shares will he entitled at any given period of the liociety's existettee, with the means et itscertainieg precisely at eny date the amount payable to retiring Members, and the value of the Sliaret QC continuing Member:. Members may pay up the whole or any portion of their subscrip tions for the ten years, in advance, and discount, after the rate of 4/. Per Cent, per annum, will be allowed for the sums so paid. Members wishing to withdraw their Subscriptions may do so after the first year, without fine ; and subsequently to that period com• Peund laterest at the rate of 61. per Cent. per annum will be allowed upon the sums withdrawn. Shares may be transferred free of stamp duties. By the plan adopted in this Society new Members entering at any period, and all Members taking up additional Shares, may have loans advanced to them without paying up arrear of Subscriptions ; and the precise amounts that will be advanced either to old or new Members, are B,:t forth in the Tables, a copy of which will be sup plied to every Member. This is manifestly 14r preferable to the un equal wal ohjectioxaele system usually adopted of putting the shares bp to auction, and advancing the money to those who submit to the largest discount ; by which ;means the object of the Legislature, which contemplated that each Member should derive precisely the same advantage, is entirely frustrated. The monthly subscription, both to the borrowing and non-borrow ing Members, is precisely the same, and continues the same to the end of the Society; borrowers are, therefore, relieved from the heavy monthly " redemption fee," and the mutual principle is car lied into full operation. .N 6 Member has any responsibility beyond the payment of his own subscriptions. A Public Meeting for affording further explanations of the objects of the Society and its system of operations, will be held at the Lon don 'tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on WEDNESDAY EN - ENING, 26th January instant, at Half-past Six for Seven o'clock precisely. Prospectuses and copies of Rules may be obtained at the office of the Society, 15, Old Broad-street.

Numberless and well-authenicated cases which hitherto had been considered as incurable by the Faculty, and which in a short time hare given way under this treatment, arc most unequivocal proofs of its superiority over every other means as yet employed. t was for a long i cried of time a desidera.um to discover a mode of cure adapted to all constitutions, and which should be free from the bane ful effects of mercury. We are now arrived t the solution of this problem by the discovery of a mode of treatment at once simple aid easy, and which, without any, degree of exaggeration, we can affirm to be innliblo la the cur,i of ali secret maladies, howeler inveterate or of long standing. The method of cure, according to Dr. Albert, is economical and easy, either at home or on a journey, causing not the slightest derangement to the general health, and safe in all seasons and in all climates. Sold by E. W. Wilcox, 33G, Oxford-street; T. Miles, Gracechurch street ; and by all the principal Chemists In London. A Treatise is enclosed with the Medicine. A It It I A G E. One half the worst are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionahly contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em 4itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comproshie hurry ; but the truth lice deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour end justice &rutted that health should form au item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or weglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

THE LOSS OF THE AVENGER. The following dispatches were received yesterday at the Admiralty, from Malta : Her Majesty's ship Ceylon, Malta, Jan 4, 1848. Sir,—With reference to my letter (No. 532) of the 30th of December last, forwarding, for the informa tion of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, a copy of one addressed to Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, with enclosures relating to the loss of her Majesty's steam-frigate Avenger, Captain C. E. Napier, on the 20th of that month, on a reef near the island of Galita, and acquainting their Lorct hips of my having sent the Hecate, Commander Moorman, to render every assistance, I have now the honour to enclose a copy of a subsequent letter to the Vice- Admiral of this day's date, acquainting him of the return of that vessel to this port on the 2d instant, and forwarding copies of the reports, as per margin,'' relative to the total loss of the Avenger and her crew, with the exception of those mentioned in the first letter of Lieutenant Rooke, as under-named :—Lieutenant Francis Rooke, Mr. Larkham (gunner), William Hill (steward), James Morley (boy). It is with great regret that I forwarilhese reports of the unsuccessful exertions and endearriurs of those who were sent to rescue any survivors of the ill-fated Avenger ; and their Lordships will perceive by these reports, as well as by my leter to the Vice-Admiral, that not a vestige of this vessel was to be found near the place of wreck, except those therein mentioned, but that several parts were met with by vessels in the ❑eighbourhood of the islands of Galita, Zembra, and Alaritemo.

January 14, 1848. By order of the Board, THOMAS PRICE, * Commissioner Moorman, dated 2d January, 1848 ; Sir Thomas Reath', dated 28th and 29th December, 1847; Lieutenant Tl'oolce, datra 281'4 December. [Number 381.] Her Majesty's ship Ceylon, Malta, Jan. 4, 1848. Sir,—With reference to my letters, No. 827, of Dec. 30, 1847, and its enclosure, informing you of the wreck of her Majesty's ship Avenger, on the night of the 20th of that month, on a reef near the island of Galita, and of my having sent her Majesty's steamer Hecate to render assistance and rescue any of the survivors of the crew, as well as to save any of the stores of the former vessel, it is with great regret I have to inform you that the fears I then entertained as to the safety of any portion of the crew of the Avenger are too true; the Hecate having returned to this port on the 2d instant, after an unsuccessful search; and by the re ports of Commander Moorman, Lieutenant Rooke, and Captain Du Penhoat, commanding the French Government steamer Lavoisier, copies of which are enclosed, they could not discover a vestige remaining of the wreck of the Avenger, except the few articles mentioned in the report of Commander Moorman and that of the captain of the Lavoisier; therefore I fear there cannot be a doubt that the whole of the crew of the Avenger have perished, with the exception of those mentioned in the first letters of Lieutenant Rooke, as named in the margin ;* neither do I think that there can be any doubt but that the rocks on which the Avenger struck were the Sorelli. The Ariel yacht, which arrived here on the 28th of December, passed off the Cane Rocks, on the 25th of December, a very considerable quantity of wreck, consisting of bulwark planks about ten feet long, casks, tubs, &c. The Indus contract steam-packet passed, on the 30th of December, off the island off Zembra, several pieces of wreck, a circular or companion ladder, and a spar or balk of timber ; and her Majesty's steam-vessel Ardent, on the Ist of this month, passed off the island of Maritimo a binnacle and part of a bulwark. I do not consider but that these pieces of wreck and other articles must have belonged to the ill. fated Avenger. Lieutenant Rooke and the persons before alluded to arrived in the Hecate, and I have ordered that officer to prepare and forward to me, for your information, a detailed account of ali the circum stances attending the loss of the Avenger, from the time of her leaving Gibraltar to that of her running on the before-mentioned rocks, as far as have come within his knowledge, and that he may be able to recollect. I beg to acquaint you that I have for warded copies of this letter and its enclosure, together with a copy of my former letter on this subject, to the Secretary of the Admiralty. I have, &c., • LUCIUS CURTIS, Rear• Admiral, Senior officer at Malta. Admiral Sir N. Parker, G.C.8., Commander-in-Chief. - 7 • Lieutenant Francis Rooke, Mr. Larkham, gunner; W. Hill, steward; J.

Sir,—Since I closed my letter of yesterday I have been put in possession of a copy of the report made by the commander of the French steamer the La voisier, and which I transmit herewith. From the general tenor of its contents I fear there is but too much reason to apprehend that the Avenger had broke up, and all on board perished, with the exception of Lieutenant Rooke and his party. A steamer was seen passing this place to the west ward about four o'clock r.u. to-day, but whether it was our distance from the neighbourhood of the wreck, or one of the packets from Malta to Eng land, we could not make out, as she was too far from the land. I have dispatched a boat with a good crew, and who are well acquainted with Galite and its vicinity, to remain for several days, in order to gain informa tion, if possible, and to endeavour to pick up any thing belonging to the unfortunate vessel, as well as bring any bodies they may find either on the sea or on the Island of Galita.

At 45 minutes past four P.m. on the evening of the same day a large steamer, with three masts, crossed my path. When within proper distance I hoisted my colours and fired a gun. She immediately hove to and hoisted the English colours. I sent an officer on board of her to explain the object of my mission, and she proved to be the Pacha, Captain Olive (of the Peninsular and Oriental Company), which left Malta on the 24th of December, having come from Eng land, and was on her way back to Southampton. She spoke the Avenger on the 20th of this month, off Cape Bougaroni, and again in Bona Straits at 5 P.M. j she was under steam, due N.W., and making eleven to twelve knots the hour, and must have been wrecked between nine and ten on the Sorelli rocks. getting into one of the cutters; but in doing so had nearly perished, for a coat had got foul of one of the fall blocks whilst the stern of the boat was in the water; but, owing to the exertions of the gunner, it was overhauled, and the boat was safely lowered in,o the w.iter. For a time Mr. Rooke waited near the ship in the hope of saving some of her crew, and again nearly escaped destruction by being engulfed under the body of the ship, which now fell over, and he was obliged to pull hard to escape destruction. The wind at the time was blowing strong towards the shore, but suddenly shifting, became fair for the ship, when Lieutenant Rooke made another essay to reach it, in the hope of saving some of the crew, but the event proves he was unsuccessful. The rest is known—the capsizing of the boat near shore, and the loss by this second accident of the surgeon Steele, the second-master Betts, a stoker, and a steward. To the exertions of the gunner Larkham, of whom Lieutenant Rooke speaks in high terms of commen dation, and his ability in steering the boat with an oar as it had no rucitier, until she struck on a reef, is, next to Providence, owing the safety of those who live to t e ll the awfiil story. On the boat capsizing three stru c k out f o i the shore, and fortunate l y reac h e d the only accessible sp o t on w hi c h th e y c uu ld hope to be thrown up without danger of perishing on the rocks—the boy clung to the boat, and was also washed towards the shore. The assistance given by the Arabs, and their humanity, I have before described. By this accident '256 persons, as nearly as can he calculated by the survivors, have been hurried to a premature grave. Nearly every steamer which has reached Malta since the accident has seen part of the wreck. The Hecate picked up a pert oreguri carriage with " Avenger" on it ; the Ardent, feom Marseilles, saw one of her binnacles floating ; the Erin and the Indus, blocks, spars, &c. At the time of the accident the deck was in charge of the Second Master, and the Captain and Master were on the paddle-box. JANUARY s.—The accidental detention of the mail till eleven A.M. this morning enables me to add a few items to my account posted yesterday of the loss of the Avenger, and to correct some small inaccuracies. I last night saw a friend, who gave me the follow - ing as unquestionable : As soon as the vessel struck, Lieutenant Marryat ran on deck, and shortly after a heavy sea broke over her, carrying him forward into the lee waist. Reco vering from the shock, he endeavoured, and suc ceeded in getting forward, and shortly after the mainmast went by the board, carrying with it the funnel, and killing several men (as I have before stated). The Captain gave the order to lower away the boats, and it was with difficulty Lieut. Rooke could pick up the few who got into his boat, so para lysed were the men. When the ship struck she was going 9i knots, with all sail set, and but steam enough to make her wheels revolve. _ 'HE SILENT FRIEND, a Medical Work on I_ the infirmities and decay of the generative system, from ex cessiEr indulgence, infection, and the inordinate use of mercury, with 'remarks on Marriage, and the means of obviating certain dis qualifications., Illystrated by 26 Coloured Engravings.

I sent a note to this captain by the officer I sent on board, who, in the most praiseworthy manner, though he had passengers on board, sent me word he would keep me company. This fine vessel can command double the speed of the Lavoisier, but she steamed slowly in our wake all night. We explored together the south coast of the Gali tons and of Galita ; the Pacha picked up south of Galita a door painted white, with a brass handle to it, a tub, and other fragments, which the captain showed to me. 'We did not see any fragments of the vessel herself, but we discovered a chair of fine ma terials, probably belonging to the captain's cabin, or to one of the officers ; but what leaves no doubt on this sad event and the loss of the crew (unless they succeeded in reaching the land) was the discovery of portions of the hold, proving that she must have gone to pieces ; and finally, some fragments of wood, which we presumed to be side planks with cross timbers attached, confirmed the opinion. At 8 o'clock A.M., on the morning of the 26th, I hailed the Pacha, signifying that it was my intention to proceed to the dangerous spot on the Sorelli rocks, and I requested her to follow in my track that she might be warned by the Lavoisier in case of accident. I approached as near as prudence wattanted, and. when I found by the lead. that we were almost on the spot I stayed her course, and ordered a vigilant look out from the mast head, a similar look out being kept up on hoard the Pacha. We weli_convinted- that there remained no vestiges off'theEnglish frig*ae, and we then left tho spot, On the 26th, at 11 45 A M., I sent an officer on board the English vessel with a letter to say that I had acquired the certitude that none of the crew were on the south coast of Galita, and exhorting him to continue his voyage. I told him I should coast along the north of the island, and should not leave it until I was convinced none of the crew were on it. I must however add, to the honour of the captain, that he again notified his intention to follow me, but as he could not render any service, I requested him to continue his voyage, and we parted company at noon on the 26th.

Lieutenant Rooke has been discharged from the Hecate into the Ceylon, where he will await the re sult of the court-martial which will be held on him on the return of the Admiral to this port. Before the Hecate had arrived at Galita the French steamer Lavoisier, from Tunis, had been to the spot, and so anxious was the Pacha of that Regency to afford all the assistance in his power, that, knowing his own vessels to be too small to accommodate all he hoped to save, he freighted an Austrian bottom to proceed to the scene of the disaster at no less a sum than 4001. _ _ _ The Triton steam• packet, fitting for sea, will he put out of dock next week ; her bottom is being coated with Mr. Hay's composition.

Her Majesty's steam-vessel Hecate, Malta, Jan. 2. Sir,—ln compliance with your orders of the 28th ult., that I proceed with her Majesty's steamer under my command to the island of Galita, for the purpose of obtaining any information relative to the wreck or crew of the Avenger, I have the honour to report for the information of the Commander-in-Chief my pro ceedings in accordance thereto. On Thursday, the 30th, at daylight, Galita bore W. by N. twelve miles, stood in for the island, and descried three boats under the east end of it. On communicating with them I found that two of them had that morning reached the island from Bizerte, sent thither by the Consul of that place, in charge of his son, to glean intelligence of the wreck, and, fur ther, to save such portions of her as they could. I ascertained from these boats, as also from the other one, which was a Neapolitan fisherman, that a French steamer, together with an English one, had been at the island four days previously, and had cruised about it for four hours; they also informed me that I should in all probabiity find the wreck on the west, and between the small islands of Aguglia and Galitona. I accordingly steamed round to the spot indicated, and perceiving no trace of the vessel, sent a boat, with a lieutenant in her, to pass between the islands, whilst I proceeded with the ship round them, picking up the boat to the eastward of them- No trace of the wreck could be discovered on these islands, either by the officer in the boat or from the ship. I then stood in for another part of Galita, and per• ceiving some fragments of wreck on the beach, where the boats from Bizerte had in the meantime landed, I sent a boat on shore to bring some portions off, and to ascertain the description of the wreck. It consisted of small pieces of bulk-heading and other like fittings, of which I brought off two pieces of musket-stands, a limber box belonging to a field piece, the bed of a twelve-pounder carronade, and part of a hatchway grating. I now, at 1 P.M., proceeded from the south end of Aguglia, steering \V. i S. course by compass 10i miles, the course and distance of the Sorelli rocks from the island as laid down in the Admiralty chart by Captain Smith. I could not perceive the least vestige of the wreck, nor of broken water; but as there is very de e p wa ter all about these rocks, which are, I believe, of a conical form, I am inclined to think that the ir p ositio n will be seldom discovered by any ripple or break of the sea. I obtained soundings in 50 fathoms—coarse sand and shells. I then bore up again for Galles., for the purpose of communicating with the boats sent from Bizera, they having u ndertaken, during my absence, to search on the north side of the island ; but they stated, from the heavy surf, they were unable to effect a landing. Under the conviction, as well from the pieces of wreck on the south side of Galita as from the state ment of Lieutenant Rooke, that the ship struck on the Sorelli rocks, I lost no more time in proceeding to Tunis in order to ascertain if the. French steamer Lavoisier had gleaned any or more tidings of the wreck than I had, and arrived there at 4 rat. on the 31st. It appears that the Lavoisier left Tunis at noon on the 25th, and was at Galita, in company with the Oriental Compa n y 's steam-shi p Pacha, on th e fol lowing day. Both vessels steamed round the island and towards the So relli rocks, wher e th ey o b ta i ne d soundings in 26 and 28 fathoms. All they could discover relative to the wreck were brok en p i eces o f planking and beams, some casks, a cabin door, and furniture, consisting of a chair and small table, which the Pacha took on board. The fact of those :portions of the wreck and casks being seen will be conclusive of the vessel having gene to pieces, which, from the tempestuous weather at the time of the ship striking, must have very soon taken place. Thi s , t o gether with the di stance of the wreck from the land, w ill preclude a ll h ope of any of the unfortunate crew being saved beyond those who reached the coast in the cutter. The gig, as I am informed by Lieutenant Rooke, was swamped in the attempt to lower her, and he has every reason to be lieve the other cutter s hered a similar fate. Sir Thomas Reade, her 18 , 1 esestr's Consul-General at Tunis, has sent horsemen along the coast for the purpose of giving interment to such bodies of the crew as m it, and also t o save anything ay be cast upo that may be thrown o n shore. I have taleen occasion to thank the commander of the Lavoisier for the effectual and persevering means which he adopted to discover the wreck, or to rescue such survivors as might have been cast on shore at Ga lita. The Commandersin• Chief will be more fully apprised of this by the copy of his statement of pro ceedings furnished by Sir Thomas Reads. The following persons have been superannuated on pensions for length of service, viz., George Hobbs, leading man of shipwrights, at 34/. per annum ; and B. Brigden, Thomas Christopher, William Piper, Thomas Baker, George Gill, and Joseph Tong, saw yers, each at •?0/. per annum. Whilst running close in shore off the north coast of Galita I perceived a fishing smack with five men on board. Notwithstanding three guns and a signal for a pilot (I not wanting one at the time), they hoisted the Sicilian flag and continued their course. I had intended, and had already given orders to man a boat and expostulate with them on this conduct, but there was a heavy swell and a stiff breeze, and I feared exposing the boat's crew needlessly. From all this I concluded that there was no En glishman on Galita or the other small islands in the vicinity, for had there been any of the crew they would doubtless have taken advantage of that boat with a fair wind to come alongside of us, as it would have been an affair of not more than 20 minutes.

Faulkner, of Revering-atte-Bower, in Essex, in reply to one of congratulation addressed to Dr. Hampden by the Reverend Gentleman : " Christ Church, Oxford, Jan. 7, 1848.

I shall have much satisfaction in going through it when I have leisure fi oin the engagements whlch press on me at this moment.

Tunis, Tuesday, Dec. 28. Sir,—l returned last night about twelve P.M. from my search for the wreck of her Majesty's ship Aven ger, which lam sorry to say has been of no avail. I reached as near as possible the spot where she struck on Sunday morning, and there cruized about for some time, until assured that she had either got off or sunk, from the sea on Tuesday, together with shift of wind, having lifted her. I then wished to land and search the island of Galita for some further signs, but the cowardly Maltese crew would neither cruise any more about, or go to the island, and all I could say had no effect on them. I could not even get them to run down, that I might speak two steamers that were to leeward of the island. On my way back I spoke one of the Tunisian gun boats that was assisting, and asked her if she would take me to Galita, but she declined ; so I was brought back to Tunis against my will, without examining Galita. lam happy to learn on my arrival from Sir Thomas lteade that the Pacha and the French steamer went round the island and spoke a fishing *boat at anchor there. I saw a third steamer close in to the African shore. All the vessels have returned from the search, numbering eight or nine. For further particulars from them I must quote Sir T. Reade's letter. The cask found I think must have been one that was in the gun-room. The accounts from the horsemen sent to scour the African coast have not yet come in. Everything possible has now been done, and I shall now wait here for orders, and to be of any further use in showing the exact spot of the wreck, and that you may think fit, sir, to order. I think this my best plan in the expectation of a man-of-war steamer from Malta. The vessel this goes by is on the point of sailing immediately. Hoping this will meet your approbation, I have, &c., FRANCIS ROOKE, Lieut. Sir W.:Parker,Bart., G.C.8., Commander-in-Chief. P.S. I have had every assistance here from the authorities.

The Bishop of Oxford would insinuate in his letter in the Times that 1. have made concessions to him. I shall be obliged to you most positively to contradict any such statement should you hear it alleged—it is not true. " The Rev. R. R. Faulkner." (From the Times.) MALTA, JAN. 4.—The loss of the steam-frigate Avenger, mentioned in my last letter, is, .unhappily, too fully confirmed by the return to this port on Sunday last of her Majesty's steamer Hecate, with the survivors from this harrowing disaster on hoard. There are four, as I previously stated :—Lieutenant Francis Hooke ; the gunner, Larkhain ; a steward, Ilill ; and a boy, James Morley. From the imperfect details I am enabled to collect, it would seem that at the time she struck she was going at 9)s to 10 knots an hour. i Ihe officers o point of " turning n" ff duty were on the after the labours of the day were over, when a sensation, not as of a thump, was experienced, but as of being dragged along over some rude substance. The one order only seems to have been given--" c l ear away the boats;" and in executing this a great loss of life ensued, two being crushed under the ship b e f ore th ey could push off.

Boydell and Roper, proprietors of the above establishment, was held at Dee's Royal Hotel, in this town ; Charles Shaw, Esq., in the chair. From the proceedings, it appeared that at the last meeting a deputation was appointed to wait upon Lord Lyttleton, the Hen. W. E. Gladstone, and Sir - Stephen Glynne, Bart., for the purpose of obtaining their concurrence in certain proposals made by the unguaranteed creditors. To day a report from the committee of inspection of the affairs of Messrs. Boydell and Roper were read, to gether with the balance-sheet, prepared by Mr. Cole man, the accountant, with the assistance of Mr. Boydell, and under the inspection of the directors, after which the rights of the lessor and mortgagees of the property, and of the retiring partnert, were con• sidered by a majority of the unguaranteed creditors of the company then present. The whole of the items and circumstances having been taken into con sideration, it was proved that the amount of assets that would be available for the unsecured creditors in the event of bankruptcy would be very small, and it having been proposed by Mr.•Freshfield, on the part of the retired parties, to pay:W . ...in the pound by two instalments, at four and six months each, on the se veral debts due to the unguaranteed creditors, the payment thereof to be guaranteed by a deed of cove nant, to be executed by the old partners, namely, Lord Littleton, Mr. Gladstone, and Sir Stephen Glynn. • It was resolved, on • the motion of Mr. SPARROW, seconded by - Mr. AUDENBROOK "That it is the in terest of the unguaranteed creditors of Messrs. Boy dell and Roper to accept such composition ; and this meeting strongly recommends the creditors not here present to- accede • to- these terms, and that a copy of these resdlittions - be sent to each creditor." The liabilities Of the company appears from the- balance. sheet to be 314,222/. 3s. The assets 58,204/: 58.41. - .

Mr. Harley, the secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed. A summary of the proceedings of the committee since the last court was then read, by which it appeared 251. had been collected for the benefit of the institution. The report of the number of patients admitted on board the Dreadnought, now lying off Greenwich, was next brought forward: There had been, from the Ist of October to the 31st of I December last, from her Majesty's ships 24, British and foreign merchant vessels 755, on board the let of October 178, total 953 ; sick now on board 183, convalescent 74 fit fir duty 4, discharged from the last named period 763. The number received from the foundation of the establishment, in 1821, was 56,175. out-patients 555. The financial statement represented the total amount of receipts as 1,7771.

THE LATE ROBBERY IN A RAILWAY TRAIN.—On Thursday an investigation was commenced by the directors of the Great Western Railway into the cir cumstances connected with the abstraction of the con tents of a banker's parcel whilst in its transit to Taunton. Several of the company's servants from the station where the suspected persons alighted from the train were brought up and • examined, and it is said that circum stances have transpired that will eventually lead to the apprehension of the parties implicated in the robbery; but from the profound secrecy observed by the officials and servants of the company, nothing definitive could be ascertained—this precaution being necessary for the ends of-justioe. , . • . - THE TEA DUTIES. Yesterday a public meeting of the inhabitants of Liverpool, convened by the Mayor, was held in the Sessions-house, Chapel-street, to consider of the best means of promoting a reduction in the present exor bitant duties on tea. his worship the Mayor (Tho mas Berry Horsfall, Esq.) took the chair shortly after twelve o'clock, at which time the Court-house was about three parts full. The meeting consisted of men of all shades of politics, anxious to express their opposition to a tax which presses so heavily upon the poor, and detracts from their means of social enjoy ment. The following resolutions were unanimously agreed to, as was also a memorial to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury : "That the report of the Parliamentary Committee of last session has conclusively established the case of the advocates for a reduction of the tea duty, and that that report claims the immediate attention of her Majesty's Government—proving, as it does, the in justice, as well as the impolicy, of continuing so heavy a tax on an article which is mainly received in barter for British manufactures." __ _ • " That it is the deliberate opinion of this meeting, founded on the experience of the last three years, that unless the duty on tea be immecliitely reduced, the question is no longer one of an increase or decrease in our trade with China, but almost of its very exist ence, as a profitable outlet for the products of British industry." " That it is the bounden duty of Government to foster and encourage—not to jeopardise —so important a trade as that opened up to us in the vast empire of China." That this meeting is of opinion that no direct loss would accrue to the revenue from a considerable reduction in the duty on tea ; but that, even if a tem porary deficiency were to arise, the considerations of a social and moral character, inseparably connected with this great question, are of paramount importance to those of a mere fiscal nature." " That it is a fact which can no longer be con cealed, that the pressure which commenced with the manufacturing and mercantile body is now extending, in a frightful degree, to every class of the commu nity ; and that, unless the cost of the necessaries of life be lessened to the public generally, and above all to the working classes, the present revenue of the country cannot be maintained."—Abridged from the Liverpool Mercury.

MALTA, JAN. 4.—her Majesty's steamer Porcu pine, 14 days from Plymouth, and five from Gibraltar, arrived in Malta on the 3d inst. Letters have been received in town, announcing that two boats have been launched by the Austrian Lloyd's Steam Navigation Company, which are in tended to convey the Anglo-Indian, Belgian, and Dutch mails from Trieste to Alexandria, by contract. They will be ready to make the first trip early in April. The vessels are of good, size, having engines 4 2 1=rnejlgti r 13"lil t aimir M e. eld t levee on the Ist instant. It was both numerously and fashion ably attended. His Excellency is becoming very popular, and will maintain it. He is evidently well acquainted with the real wants of the people, and makes his own in quiries into the existence of abuses. General Ellice arrived on Friday last per Indus, and was received with all the honour due to his rank —a guard of honour and a salute. He is living pro tern. at one of the first hotels in the isl an d—D unsford's. The Ilecate made one of the most beautiful pas sages, on her return to Malta, that is on record, having accomplished the trip from port to port in 24 hours, and being compelled by the wind to make a detour to the west of the island of Zembra, a dif ference of 30 miles at the least. The screw steamer Osmanli arrived here last night, having in tow an Austrian brig, with loss of masts. She is only 12 days from Liverpool. She fell in with part of the wreck. Mr. Lushington, the new Secretary to Government, arrived here yesterday. The Tartarus steamer will leave Malta for Con stantinople early next week. The Vanguard is to have her mast re-stepped, and proceed to Athens on an early day. The Harlequin is still in port, and will not pro ceed to Rio Janeiro till the return of the fleet, now in the Gulf of Spezzia, expected on the 10th inst. The wound received by Captain M6sediti, chief of the Patras revolters, was so much more serious than was known, that yesterday only hopes were en tertained that amputation of his arm would not be necessary.
