ON THE DEPOSIT STSTEM.; Ifun able to pay, or not p desirous of paying or omitting topay,thePo- _ licy would still remain of its rum value, ` 5221.25.7d.ti1l death, if 20 years after, no fur- , ther payment beingre- quired. Ifhowever the party, from any cause, wished to cancel the Policy, he could not onlydraw out all hehas put in, viz., 2251., but 20 /I.los Od 2251. 522L257d 2871. 25. 9d. a certain bonus of 62 /. 2s. 9d. in the bargain, which is more than one-fourth of the whole of his payments, or he could either draw out a part, 201. or 501.. diminishing the Policy only by the assured value of the sum se drawn out at the age when withdrawn. See pagess and 7 in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Neison, Esq. The rates here selected are those adopted by the English and Cambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low f ates of premium, and professedly for the lower and tnidd:ing classes. In most offices, particularly the older ones , su ch as the Scottish Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. Ifs the tanner of 101. 'Ts. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, would be the rate to Insure 5001 . at 20 years of age. In the lat ter 81. 13s 4d., To insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of the uzposrr system. t Money laid out at compound interest DOUBLES ITSELF every four men years. On comparison of these two tables it 'will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOsIT assurance can secure the follow :a., advantages,st. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure 2nujyger sum in case of death to than under the ordinary system. i n „ Li ._ In the event of a desire surrender his Policy he can receive THRE ; Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, of inabiP a " his policy remains still his property, as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of the inability or omission to pay, same V a l ue as it w as, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. S houl d he require to increase or decrease the t's amount of his policy he can d o so at plea sure. He can , at any time, by giving a fortnigh notice, withdraw any part from 1/ up to the Whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year be can, by a single payment, three its former a mount ; Years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even his annual savin b his annual expenditure, with the facility in the and by this systern he can at all times regulate in of having by to fly to in case of necessity, the same as ni a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any hind to fly to for aid, all his hard-earned savings becOMe forfeited his to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of More fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEFOsIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be Universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the - ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF MT ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

ROBBERY OF A BANKERS C LE RK.--A few days since a clerk in an eminent bankinglouse in the City was sent to several other private banking-houses for the purpose of taking up such bills of exchange as had been drawn upon the firm during the day, and paying the amount so drawn upon them. As a matter of precaution, the book containing the bank notes for the discharge of these bills was secured by a small chain, which was passed round the waist of the clerk. Havi n g in the course of the day visited two or three houses for the purposes above stated, he entered a banking-hous e in Lombard-street, and, taking the bill case from his pocket, placed it upon the counter, with his left arm resting upon it, whilst with his right hand he attached hi s s ignature to several docu ments requiredin the course of these transactions. Whilst so engaged he stood between two persons at the same desk, one of whom was apparently deeply engaged in writing, and who, having completed what he was about, he with some force threw back the pen into the inkstand that was standing between him and the clerk referred to. The consequence was to cause the ink in th e stand to fly . over th e shirt front of the clerk, who, feeling considerable annoyance at it for the mo ment, rose up from the desk, and remonstrated with the person fo r the injury be had wantonly committed. This act, which at first appeared to be but one of great care lessness, however turned o ut to have been premedi tated, and with a deeply-pl a nned object. Having transac t e d his business, he replaced the bill-case in his pocket, and returned to th e b an king-houses at which he was employed, without having any suspicion as to what had taken place. On takin g out his book and counting the n otes, great was his amazement at finding a defi ciency to the amount of 1,1001. A new light instantly broke in upon his mind, whi c h fully accounted for the transac ti on at the banking - ho us e . The two persons who there stood beside him were no doubt acting in concert to effect the robbery, and th e re was every probability th a t the ink - spilling was but a ruse to draw off his attention while the person on the other side of him took advantage of the absence of the arm of the clerk from the book to abstract the notes, with which they suc ceeded in getting clear off. No trace of them has been obtained, although the detective officers of the city police have been unremitting in their exertions to discover the thieves. THE BISHOP OF LONDON AND THE ELECTION OF CHURCHWARDENS BlLL. — Yesterday a meeting of the parishioners of the parish of Hornsey took place in the ves try at Ilornsey church, for the purpose of taking steps to oppose a bill introduced into the House of Lords by the Bishop of Salisbury (for the Bishop of London) to de prive the ratepayers of parishes of the election of church wardens as at present. Mr. Churchwarden Palmer having taken the Film; Mr. J. T. Smith presented the report of the committee on the Churchwardens Bill. He showed that a bill had been introduced last session by the Bishop of Salisbury, at the instigation of the Bishop of London, and that it was a measure which was one of the most shameful attempts a t innovation upon the rights and privileges of Englishmen that was ever at tempted. All power was to be tak e n out of the hands of ratepayers in public vestry of electing their church wardens, and a secret system of voting was adopted, and all power placed in the hands of the rector or clergyman of the parish . He had the power o f issuing notices , of taking the chair, of having the voting papers sent to him, and the power of disallowing all such as he considered invalid without scrutiny. He read a letter he had received from the Bishop of London, in which he stated that he had not determined whether he should re-introduce this bill of last session, but added that he was collecting opinions on the subject. Mr. Smith denounced the measure as having for its purpose to suppress the practice used through untold centuries of the election of churchwardens in open vestry, and to substitute a secret system of voting and an individual and irresponsible system of scrutiny and return ; and expressed a hope that other parishes would watch and oppose such bills if again brought forward. The report being received, he moved a resolution to the effect that the bill relating to the election of churchwardens intro duced into the House of Lords in the spring session of 1852, proposes very serious innovations on the common law of the land, and on the rights and customs of parish ioners and vestries as sanctioned by immemorial usage and convenience ; that this opinion be conveyed to the Bishop of London ; and a committee be appointed to oppose such measure. Mr. Ashurst also donounced the bill as the greatest attempt to set up a priesthood over the people and destroy their liberties as Englishmen that had taken place in modern times. The resolution was carried unanimously, and the meeting separated. NA VAL INTELLIGENCE, (From the Morning Post.) The new Board of Admiralty is now completely formed, and consists of the following members :—The Right Hon. Sir James Graham, First Lord of the Admiralty ; Vice- Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., First Naval Lord ; Rear- Admiral Maurice Frederick Fitzhardinge Berkeley, C. 8., Second Naval Lord ; Captain the Hon. Richard Saun ders Dundas, C. 8., at present Captain-Superintendent of Deptford Victualling and Dockyard, which he re signs, Third Naval Lord ; and the. Hon. William Cow per, Lay Lord, with Mr. Bernal Osborne, First Secre tary to the Board. The new board, it is admitted by all parties, is well constituted in all the junior branches ; but some appre hensions are entertained, from the recollection of many persons connected with the service, of what took place during the period Sir James Graham was First Lord of the Admiralty, in 1832, that much benefit cannot be obtained for the interest of the service. It is in some degree satisfactory, however, to state that others have a different opinion of the First Lord, and believe that. the obnoxious measures—such as the with drawal of the small pensions to the widows of warrant offi cers, which ceased at that time, was not the individual act of the right hon. baronet, as many imagine, but a resolution of the majority, if not the entire board, at that period. It is now certain that the majority, if not the entire board, are most favourably disposed to do all in their power to promote the welfare of the warrant officers and seamen ; and Sir James Graham will have able and willing coadjutors in the present board if dis posed to restore, in any modified form, the pensions to the widows of warrant officers, which is a measure requi site to be adopted, even had it never existed, to induce steady and able seamen to enter and remain in the royal navy; as the humblest in the service are now so calculat ing that they look forward to a future period when they might hope, by good conduct, to be promoted and leave a trifle to their widows in the event of their surviving . them. The First Lord will also have most efficient assist ance from the practical knowledge and experience of some of the members of the new board, and the co operation of all in rendering the dockyards the• most efficient and best conducted establishments in this or any other kingdom, and capable of producing the best and most substantial war steamers of any navy, and fully able, in every respect, for the defence of the country. Sir James Graham has assumed the duty of the First Lord of the Admiralty at a very important period, as a small spark may set all Europe in a flame ; and as this country has hitherto placed the greatest-re liance on the strength of her wooden walls, may the hope of its inhabitants be fully realised, that, should a day again arrive when their protection is required, they may be found amply sufficient for the emergency, and the Board of Admiralty have the satisfaction of knowing that they had fully performed their duty. (From the Morning Herald. ) We have now, we believe, the whole of the Board °I Admiralty nominated, including the Right Hon. Sir James Graham, Vice-Admiral Hyde Parker, Rear-Ad miral the Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., Rear-Admiral Sir James Stirling, Captain Milne, and the Hon. W. Cowper, with Mr. Bernal Osborne for the Secretary. Captain O'Brien, who was with Sir James Graham when Secretary of State for the Home Department, is to be private secretary to Sir James, as First Lord. The First Lord, it is said, will keep up the navy in the most effective condition, but the civil service will undergo the closest revision. We shall be found a willing advo cate of wholesome reforms, and it is patent to the whole world that there is room for amendment in every department under the Admiralty, and more especially in the distribution of the extensive patronage of the First Lord's office. We trust that Sir James Graham will not imitate his predecessor in the blind and indiscriminate commis sioning of useless and inefficient ships, the general distri bution of his appointments, or the wholesale promotions of favourites, partisans, and followers. It is with great regret that we feel bound to confess that the character of the Duke of Northumberland's Board of Admiralty has materially suffered by theirtre cent acts. The old and deserving officers of the service have been neglected, the claims of the meritorious and long-serving have been treated indifferently, and the best igen in the navy have been passed over in favour of men of mere family influence, and in some cases in favour of 1 00 who could not-even produce an official report ore ditatle,to the man-of-war efficiency of the last ships they commanded. The term of office of the duke's board has not been a long one ; but short as it has been we have seen enough, notwithstanding all the indulgence, toady ism, and culpable silence of those who so loudly cried out for it puroly 41,avq,1 board, to make the unprejudiced q uestion the policy er tha ...avantage Of Carin g a boa.--4 composed exclusively of naval men. Vice-Admiral Hyde Parker retains his seat with Rear- Admiral the Hon. M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., as his second, as we have already anticipated. The gallant Vice-Admiral will be energetically assisted by his more active but junior colleague. Rear-Admiral Berkeley has gone down to his consti tuents for re-election, and we perceive that he is to be opposed by his former colleague, Mr. Hope. We trust, however, that the gallant Admiral will not be out of the House of Commons, for he has ever proved himself a straightforward and independent advocate of the service to which he belongs. Rear-Admiral Sir James Stirling was a member of Sir F. Baring's board of only a few days' standing. He was the unsuccessful candidate for Chatham on the Liberal interest, against Sir F. Smith, who was a Peelite. Captain Milne, it is well known, has served as a Lord of the Admiralty under the last two Governments. Mr. Cowper is the step-son of Lord Palmerston. He was one of the Lords of the Treasury under the Mel bourne administration, and was the civil Lord of the Admiralty under Lord John Russell's Government. Mr. Bernal Osborne, the secretary, like Mr. Stafford, has never been in office before, but it is somewhat ano malous to give the appointment of Secretary to the Ad miralty to a soldier. We hear a great deal of what the new board is to do, but we shall soon discover, by their actual services, what the country is to expect from them. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 30. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., the C o mmander-in-Chief, went out to Spithead to-day, with his flag flying in the Fire Queen steam-yacht, to inspect the Leander, 50, Captain King, and visit the fleet. The London, 90, Captain G. R. Mundy, was un docked this afternoon, after having her copper cleaned and repaired. An order has been received for her to remain in this harbour, moored off Gosport, for the convenience of entering men. Lieut. Chesshyre has been dispatched to Plymouth to open a rendezvous there with the view of completing the crew of the London, further refitting operations on which have been sud denly, this day; suspended by Amiralty order. This afternoon, at two o'clock, a handsome schooner yacht, built by Mr. Camper, of Gosport, was launched from his building-yard. She was named the Golietka, and has been constructed for Prince Lebanoff, Commo dore of the Imperial Russian Yacht Squadron. She measures 131 tons, and is likely to prove a clipper. She was named by Mrs. Wilkinson, the wife of the Russian Vice-Consul at this port. ARRIVAL OF THE SCREW-SLOOP PLIIMPER.—The Plum per, 11, screw-sloop, Commander Nolloth, arrived at Spithead this morning from the Brazils, and saluted the Commander-in-Chief. She left Rio on the 14th of No vember, and has made the passage under sail, with the exception of a few hours, in which she used about four tons of coal, thus proving herself an admirable sailer and a most economical steamer. tut this well working is doubtless, in the main, owing to the good manage ment of her commander, and the vessel having proved herself one of the most efficient of an improved class. She was built in this dockyard by Mr. John Fincham, from his own design. She bring home in valids from the squadron under Rear-Admiral Hender son ; also as passengers Mr. Styles, - late clerk in charge of her Majesty's ship Trident, promoted to the rank of paymaster ; and Mr. Hale, jun., son of the inventor of the rifle rocket, who has been xhibiting this powerful missile to the Brazilian naval and military authorities. The Plumper has on board a freight of about 30,0001. sterling in Australian gold-dust, which she transhipped from the British merchant vessel Emperor, at Monte Video, into which place the latter had put to repair, being leaky. This bullion has been conveyed to the Bank of England by Messrs. E. and E. Emanuel, freight agents and bullion merchants, of this port. The follow ing ships were spoken by the Plumper, and desired to be reported :—The Gertrude ' Dutch transport, on the 22d of November, in lat. 23.17 S., long. 28.27 W. ; the Teal, British merchantman, on the sth of December, in lat. 7.22 N., long. 23.51 W. ; the Guesoline (French), on the 27th of December, in lat. 46.3 N., long. 4.21 W. ; also a British merchant vessel, showing "2d dis tinguishing pendant," No. 8,394, on the 27th of Decem ber, in lat. 46.3 N., long. 4.21 W. The Plumper has been four years and two months in commission, and will now be paid off , and refitted. She has taken one prize while cruising for -slavers on the coast of Brazil, and shares in two other captures. The Termagant, 24, screw steam-frigate, built by White, of Cowes, is alongside the dockyard jetty, land ing her stores, which are to be cleaned and replaced. The Blenheim, 60, screw-ship, Captain W.

A very crowded meeting was held on Wednesday last at the Pavilion Rooms, in this town, Sir T. W. Bloom field, Bart., in the chair, for the purpose of hearing from Captain Trotter an account of his ,recent mission to Florence in company with Lords Roden and Cavan, in the hope of procuring the release of the Madiais from the Grand Duke of Tuscany. The gallant captain gave very many interesting details concerning the spread of Protestantism in the city of Florence and its im mediate neighbourhood ; a result which he entirely ascribed to the number of English Bibles which had been introduced into that country in spite of the vigilance of the Roman Catholic authorities. Captain Trotter further stated that within the last few weeks the Grand Duke had introduced the guillotine into Florence for the purpose of checking the progress of the Protestant movement, and had actually appointed a public executioner with a salary of 101. a month. He also described the system of espionage to which all per sons were exposed in Tuscany who were suspected of entertaining the least Protestant sympathies, and the power of the state authorities and police to arrest and imprison individuals, though innocent of any overt act, upon the merest suspicion of favouring that cause. He stated that Francesco Madiai at Volterra, and Rosa, his wife, at Lucca, were suffering severely in health from the effects of their close imprisonment, but that they were much comforted by the assurance of English sym pathy. He also stated that a college was in the course of erection at Geneva for the purpose of receiving those converts who were forced to leave Tuscany on account of becoming Protestants, and announced that the collec tion made at the doors of the room would be applieicl to that purpose. The meeting was closed with prayei by the Rev. Mr. Smith, and a considerable sum was col lected at the doors. (From the Times.) We trust that the National Defence question may have now been put fairly in train, for it is a ques tion which, of all others, was least fitted for sus pense or delay. The case, if there was any case at all, was obviously one of imperative urgency ; and, though we fully concur with Mr. Disraeli in con sidering that plain speaking on such a point is far better than a " prudish affectation of reserve," we need waste• no words in proving that the topic is not a desirable one to be kept constantly in the public mouth. We wish to see the thing not only done, but done with. Let it be once understood that our defences are complete, and no more need be said about the matter. When a well-grounded belief has been established that nothing is lacking in the way of prudent preparation, the self-reliance of Englishmen will do the rest: At present, these precautionary measures are under active supervision. The artillery force will be raised to an effective strength without delay, and a substatial addition is to be made to the ma rine corps. Votes providing for these requirements, as the reader will remember, have been actually passed, and were passed, too, without a dissentient voice. With regard to our military resources, it is impossible to deny that the appeal of -the • country has received a most satisfactory answer. An admir able force of volunteer militia has been raised, without the smallest difficulty, nor is there any rea son to doubt that the battalions Might,be readily . doubled. The men, Mr. Fry must now acknow ledge, have proved au orderly and 'well-con ducted class—a class doing infinite credit to themselves and their country, while their effi ciency is attested in the highest terms by those best competent to judge. They are, in fact, almost as regularly " soldiers " as most troops of the continental armies. In England, from the peculiar nature of our line service, we contract ex traordinary ideas of the military profession. We think a " soldier " means a man who has enlisted for life, who knows no home but his regiment, who has either sailed or is destined to sail over thou- sands of miles of ocean, and who is to encounter every species of enemy or climate in every quarter of the globe. But this idea of a soldier prevails nowhere else. The armies of other European States are mainly composed, like our own militia, of men enrolled for a few years; drilled at home, and expecting no service (under the usual circum stances) beyond their own frontiers. Our volun teers are fully on a level with the ordinary range of continental conscripts, and would acquire an equal amount of military aptitude in six months' training. With regard to the navy, which, as everybody admits, should be the first object of our solicitude, it seems to be acknowledged that the whole ques tion substantially resolves itself into the supply of seamen. We have ships and officers in abun ance, and of the best quality too. As to steam, the force of the Royal Navy alone includes 112 vessels of 26,749-horse power, besides which there are 1,218 registered commercial steamers with a tonnage of 185,366 tons, exclusive of engine room. If resources like these can only be made available, it must be clear that we can have nothing to apprehend in this respect. The one great requisite is a prompt and sufficient supply of trained seamen. We took occasion the other day to observe that the number of our seafaring population was large enough to feed the Royal Navy without stint or embarrassment if the attractions of the service were but fairly adjusted, and upon reference to Mr. Porter's statistics it appears that eleven years since—that is to say, in 1841—the " Navy and merchant seamen, including half-pay, marines, fishermen, watermen, &c.," numbered in the ag gregate 226,456, of whom 129,666 were returned as "at home." Of this number it is certainly not extravagant to set down 60,000 as good ablebodied mariners, and the question is, how to obtain the cheerful services of this important class. We have before us a pamphlet on " The Forma tion of a Maritime Militia, or Sea Fencible Force," addressed to the late Prime Minister by Captain Charles Elliott, R.N., in which this subject is very Comprehensively discussed, and , the suggestions deserve our attention, not only fromthe position and. experience of the writer, but because they appear to coincide in substance with the scheme actually con templated by the authorities in power. Mr. Disraeli plainly intimated in his financial exposition that the question of manning the mercantile marine had been k remitted, as forming part of the great question of manning the whole navy of Britain, to the decision of a committee ; and he further observed that Mi nisters, in due time, would submit to the House proposals for " a very great change in the system on which the royal navy is manned." Taking these remarks together, we cannot have much hesitation in concluding that something like a - UTADAD. nniott's recommendations found favour in the eyes of the late Government. These recom mendations, succinctly stated, may be said to sug gest that all the sailors and seafaring men of the United Kingdom should constitute a body termed " the Navy of Great Britain," of which the royal navy should form a branch. Instead of the invi dious distinctions hitherto subsisting between the royal and mercantile services, the former is rather to be considered as a corps d'elite, or upper class, into which entrance may be sought as an advan tage, and claimed as a reward. With these views, all sources of income, relief, and provision, here tofore monopolised by the royal navy—such as Greenwich hospital, &c. are to be thrown open, and included in one great scheme, under one management, for providing a full supply of sea labour for all the maritime purposes of the empire. Such seem to be the fundamental principles of Captain Elliott's views. The objection obviously suggesting itself is that if a monopoly of all these attractions has failed in procuring the requisite supplies for the royal navy, less than a monopoly can hardly be expected to do so. If men prefer the merhant service without such prospects, wil they prefer it less when such prospects are added to the bargain ? As far as we can discern the conclusions upon this head, it seems to be thought that if all sailors are put upon a foot ing, all distinctions abolished, all objections re moved, and all things made clear, there will never be a lack of candidates for that particular branch of the service which enjoys the highest rank and the most consideration. If all rewards are gained by service, and three years' service in ono class is made to count as four in another, the former class will carry the day. Exactly, in short, as militiamen have been always found ready to vo lunteer into the line, so maritime militiamen will be infallibly ready to volunteer into the Royal Navy. This seems to be the reasoning adopted. But besides this general scheme, which Captain. Elliott appears to have been some years in ma turing, he suggests a proposal for the immediate levy of a force of sea fencibles, on the plan approved by Sir C. Napier, and discussed in our columns a month ago. The plan consists simply in the divi sion of our whole coast into districts, with head quarter stations, each station having its guard-ship and its staff of officers. The seamen of the district are then to be enlisted in two classes, one termed the " movable," and the other the " reserve " force, constituting a "regular" and "local" militia respectively ; but neither class being liable, on any pretext, whether in peace or war, to serve on fo reign stations without their own previous consent. By calculations into which we need not enter, Captain s Elliott concludes that whereas in our Navy Estimates we now provide 1,014,7361. (exclusive of victuals) for 24,655 men, we could obtain an effec tive naval strength of 40,000 sea fencibles for 460,0001. These suggestions will, no doubt, create much discussion, and probably invite some reply, but the principles appear to us to be sound, and we should not be unprepared for the recognition of some such maxims hereafter by whomsoever the Government may be conducted." FRENCH MEDICAL STATISTICS.—The Gazette des IlOpitaux states that in France there are 11,217 phyoi ciins, 7,221 officiers de sante and 5,175 l l ama - m : o m These numbers give one medical attendant for every 1,940, and one pharmacien for every 6,914 of the popu lation. What is singular is that th e richer depart ments have fewer doctors than the poorer ' • thus in those of the north in there is one practiti oner for ev ery 2,496 persons, whilethe south there is one for every 1,619. It is still more singular that there are n early 600 towns or communes, with populations varying from 2,000 to 8,000 souls, which have neither m edical practitioner nor pharmacien. NOVEL PERFORMANCE. —Amongst the passengers who arrived by the royal mail steam-ship Europe from New York is Mr. R. Sands, the antipodal experi menter, who has been g i v i n g entertainments in the dif ferent towns in the Union, with a large amount of success. His novel performance consists in walking across the ceiling with his feet up and his head down wards ; and, notwithstanding the precarious path he has to tread, he never yet met with any serious accident. The modus operandi by which Mr. Sands accomplishes his antipodal excursion is purely scientific, and has pre viously been experimented upon, though never with the success which it has now attained. [ADVERTISEMENT.] — Holloway ' s Ointment and Pills have effectually cured a Wound in the Leg and prevented Amputation.—The following extraordinary cure was communicated by Captain Smith of Yarmouth, to Mr. Dixon, chemist, Norwich. Mr. Walton, late H.M.S. at Malta, had an ulcerated wound in the ankle, for which he was in Malta Hospital six month ; in Portsmouth Hospital four months. Refusing to have the limb ampu tated, he was turned out incurable ; other medical gentle men failed ; when he tried Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which in three months cured him, and he is now in perfect health and Coast Guard Officer at Newhaven. Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. ;; X ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF MARRIAGE, AND THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY.

The essential obiect of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and esses, which Man have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in 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'Afert, himself one of the few egally 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 animate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at hum® and abroad, is in itself a hips t are guaran tee that those who may place themselves under his c will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.
