N.B. No chemist or druggist is authorise) to sell Moriyoa's ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY A-YEAR. At the present political juncture we hear Tory much of " One Hundred and Fitty a-Year," And I certainly think it will not he amiss, To say a few words on a subject like this; For the topic of income is certainly one Which calls for a lino from E. MOSES and SON. Many persons indignantly "set up their backs" At the thoughts of an income and property tax ; Especially so when it roaches the sphere Of a limited " Hundred and Fitty a-Year." The statesmen themselves are divided about it, Some wish to retain it, while others would scont it ; • Some cry " Let us have it," and others cry " Waive it;" Bet the neutral language of MOSES - is " Save it." All persons possessed of a " Hundred and Fifty," Have need to be prudent, and cautious, and thrifty, And the fact of an income and property-tax, Should teach them to wear MOSES' coats on their backs. The savings by MOSES would shortly appear In the tax on a " Hundred and Fifty a-Year," The coats, vests, and trovrsars, the hats, and the shoes, Would save them far more than the taxes would lose ; And the worth of the garments would raake them appear roesess'd of Five Hundreds and Fifty a-Year ; And thus have we proved that the subject is one Whloh specially bears on E. MOSES and SON. LIST OF PRICES. READY XIDI. Deaver Tagtient •• • • ..

The TWENTY - SECOND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this Compauy took place on Tuesday, the lath of February, within the Company's Office, No 3, George-street Edinburgh. GEORGE MOIR, Esq. Advocate, in the Chair. The Report and Statements submitted by the Directors contained a very satiel'acory account of the progress of the Institution during they ear 1847 It was reported : That the 'number of Policies for Life Assurance issued by the Company from the 15th November, 18411, to 15th November, 1e47, was 621. That the Sunis Assured during the same period, contained in these Policies, amounted to 443,5781. 4s. 11d. That the number of applications for Policies made to the Com pany, and teem which the above transactions were selected, -vets sot, containing proposals for Aseuranoe to the extent of h 91,663/. That the Annual Revenue of the Company, as at 15th November, 1847, was 131,3161. Ins. 7d. That the whole amount of assurance covered by the Company's Policies, in force at 15th November, 1847, was 3,2a2,0914. 14s. Ind. The Report then preceede4l as follows : " The past year has been marked by the most extraordinary fea tures as regards commercial affairs and general credit ; but, while all classes of society, especially the mercantile conunanity, and our public institutions connected with the general affairs of commerce, have felt the, pressure of the times, the Life Assurance Institutions of the country have stood unaffected by the crisis. Nothing can tend more to extend confidence In these histitutione than this result ; and it is hoped they will always be found affording protection and dis pensing benefits to all connected with them, unaffected by those periodical changes. " Notwithstanding the unfortunate position of the ommtry during the pest year, the amount of new business transacted by this Com pany has exceeded to a large amount the business of the previous year. The claims during the year have been greater in proportion than usual , but when the increased mortality throughout the king dom generally is remembered, the Directors consider they have reason to be well satisfied with the results." Atter lice Report and Statements were read, the Chairman con gratulated the meeting on the ;favourable position of the Company, and its prospects generally, and again brought under notice the inset prominent (mimes in the Report. lie drew attention to the great increase of the business, the increase of the revenue, and the rapid ac 'emulation of the Company's Funds, which it appeared HAD BEEN MORE TITAN DOUBLED DURING TILE LAST FIVE YEARS.

Matriculated Member of ths University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, !cc. marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may, be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and Its true source in eery instance disclosed, in how many could i the traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant thsap nointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is frau g ht with advanta g e, becomes, when abused, the erolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on .he nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any ether to which it is sub)ect. Tids wort contains as accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfsrtunately happens that the unhappy victim et excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering trent their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shaine and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his posse:taloa of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

She sailed from Valpa raiso on the 2d of December in company with the Collingivood, ti O, and the Constance, 50, and parted company on the sth. She arrived at Bahia on the 25th of January, and sailed thence on the 29th direct for England. Affairs at Bahia at this date were very flourishing. Rate of exchange 471 d. per milrei for Government bills. At Bahia she met the Seagull packet with the [lon. Mr. Gcre, the British Envoy, on board from Rio. On Monday, January 25, the Carysfort spoke the barque Duke in lat. 16 2, lon. 35 15 W., who desired to be reported at Lloyd's. The Carysfort has brought 2,127,681 dollars on merchants' account, which Captain Sayer, wine merchant and freight agent, of this port, has the conveyance of to London. She brought no diamonds from Bahia ; her freight is 47 I loose bars and 928 boxes of silver. She has brought home Major mr. Delacombe, Commander Parke (on promo tion),(Midshipman), and Mr. Quick ope (car penter), all of the Constance, and eight invalids from the squadron, together with mails from Valparaiso ' and Bahia, and dispatches from the British Consul for the Home-office, and from Sir George Seymour for the Admiralty. The Carysfort has been completely round : the world since she left this port. She left England on the 12th of March, 1846, with his Excellency Sir Charles Fitzroy, the Governor of Australia, and family. She touched on her passage out at Madeira, Cape of Good Hope, landed Sir Charles Fitzroy at Sydney, New South Wales; touched at New Zealand, then proceeded to her station, Valparaiso; thence she sailed to Mexico, St. Blas, Mazatlan, and Guyamss (California), returned to Valparaiso, and home. She wants a year longer to corn plete the usual term of sea-service, and most likely that time, at least, will be got out of her present commsssion, as she is just now in most perfect man-of-war trim and order; her crew are thoroughly efficient, and well up to their duties; the vessel, in short, is fit to be sent to any part of the world. She will come into port to-morrow to disembark her treasure, which will be dispatched to London by the South Coast Railway, via Brighton. She did not see the Asia, 84, Rea:-Admiral Phipps Hornby, on her passage. Orders have been received by electric telegraph to day from the Admiralty for the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., to prepare the Birkenhead and Gorgon steam-frigates for sea immediately, to be officered and manned by the Excellent gunnery ship, Captain Chads, C.B. Commander Hewlett is to corn rutted the Birenhead, and Commander Sidney Grenfell is to command the Gorgon. Their complements are to be 139 men each. The Birkenhead is to be got ready first. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord A. W. Besuelerk, sailed to-day for the westward with sealed orders. _ The Lightning steamer., Petley, returned from Ply mouth this morning, and reported the approach of the Carysfort. The Fairy did not leave for Woolwich until this morn ing, owing to an accident to her funnel when being uudocked. Wind N.W.; moderate breezes and cloudy weather. ROYAL MARINES. The Admiralty have ordered additional detachments of marines to be embarked in the Prince Regant, 92, Captain Martin; and the Powerful, 84, Captain the Hon. R. S. Dundas, fitting at this port, to serve in lieu of seamen, who " don't come along handsomely." An exchange of divisions has been sanctioned between First Lieutenant Richards, of the Portsmouth, and First Lieutenant M'Carty, of the Plymouth division. APPOINTMENT.. ADMIRALTY, MARCII 15.—Peter Leonard, Surgeon, to the Poictiers; William Baikie, M.D., Acting Assis tant-Surgeon, to the Victory; William G. iiilyerlock, Naval Cadet, to the St. Vincent. PORTSICOUTH, THITRSDAY.—A fleet of steamers in ordinary, to be ready at an hour's notice for any ser vice, was an object which we, amongst others of our contemporaries, hailed as a move in the right direction towards judicious preparation for any emergency when we reported the orders of the Admiralty to hare steam flotillas stationed at every port, whose motive power was always to be at command; but the experience of yesterday and to-day shows how futile such intentions of the Government must be. No sooner did the order arrive yesterday afternoon for the immediate equipment of the Birkenhead and Gorgon steam-frigates than it was put in execution; but what was the result? It was found that steamers whose machinery had been reported in good working order, and whose paddle-wheels had been whirled round once a month (as per order) and worked well in the smooth water of this harbour, yet needed some other accessories to their utility as vessels for war, dispatch, or other " particular service." Men there were at once from the Excellent gunnery- ship—and right good men too (all A B's), and officers to command them ready for transhipment on the order being given, but the men end officers must live, and so provisions had to be looked tor. 'These, by dint of all-night work, were furnished by the indefatigable officers of the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment, and then came the coaling—but where were the stokers ? Alas I there were no stokers at hand but the Growler's, and there- fore their Lordship - s' gracious permission was asked to take the stokers out of the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, and put them into the Gorgon, which was granted, and so the steamers are now progressing, as well as all these draw backs will permit, towards readi ness for sea. If these vessels are wanted to go to Ire land, it is clear they will not be there on St. Patrick's- day, and if their "particular service" is merely a demon stration, it is a very poor one, and all for the lack of the exercise of the commonest foresight. These steamed*. ought to have been victualled, stored, armed, and in every respect ready to obey any orders sent down respecting them at telegraphic notice; their stores, coals, and provisions would hare been quite as sate, and much more handy and available, on board than in hulks and storehouses elsewhere, and would hare caused no expense for stowage; stokers, too, it is clear there must be of, or the steamers, after all, will be worse th a supply an useless. s. As usual in such cases, the ships selected for service are the least forward in their advancement, whereas the Centaur and Growler could hare been on their way at least to Cork by this time. The former only needs the necessaries above enumerated, and the latter is ready at a moment's notice, being already In(having arrived f r om B e rmuda only on Sunday). &c. 3).The following officers and men have been drafted from the Excellent for these ships :—For the Bir k, nhead—Com. Ihwlett, Lieut. Branch, Mates Atkin son and Graves, 60 seamen, and 20 boys; Lieut. Ireland, 1 sergeant, one corporal, one bombardier, One trumpeter, and 35 gunners of the Royal Marine Artillery. For the Gorgon, Commander Grenfell, of the Blenheim; Lieute nant St. John, Mates Reilly and Burgess, 60 men, and 20 boys, of the Excellent; and Lieutenant Draffen and a similar detachment of Marine Artillery as supplied to the Birkenhead.

Thomas Shadforth, M.A., Fellow of University, were announced to the Vice-Chancellor as having been chosen by their respective societies. REPRESENTATION or BEWDLET. BEWDIAT, WEDNESDAY.—The proceedings of the Bewdley election petition are exciting the deepest interest here, and, indeed, throughout the whole county of Worcester; and from what has already transpired before the Committee, it is generally expected that, unless the borough is dis franchised, there must be another election very shortly. So strong is this feeling, that two candidates have already b3en spoken of. One of these is Captain Win nington, uncle of sir Thomas Winnington, who con tested the representation with lirir. Ireland. It i s sup posed that he will be nominatedin case his nephew is declared not qualifit i. The Conservative candidate spoken of is Mr. J. A. Taylor, late Member for East Worcestershire, and who, it will be rem em b ere d, was rather cavalierly treated by his friends at the general election. 2hould these gentlemen declare themselves the contest would be close, but of course at present it would be premature to say more on the subject. During the last few days some druggists in Derby have received notices of exchequer processes, to recover from them heavy penalties, for having sold unstamped medicines, although such medicines were not patented. Per3ons have been sent to purchase pills and mixtures, to cure some mr.ied c omplaint, .for which twopence or threepence has usually been paid; and whenever the box or bottle containing the preparation was without a ithree -halfpenny patent medicine-stamp, legal proceed iiaga bare beeu immediately insti tuted.

The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence. and the Indissoluble, regret nn cornprosiag hurry; but the truth lies deeper. l'hysical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. lionenr and justice demand that health simuld form an item In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance.

THE BLACKHEATH CHARTIST MEETlNG.—Printed bills were circulated in the early part of the week an nouncing that the inhabitants of the borough of Gteen wich, Woolwich, and Deptford, were to meet on Black heath on Wednesday, the 15th inst., to congratulate the Provisieilal Government of the French Republic, and stating that several of the leading Chartists would be present to address the meeting. The police force at the dockyard (Woolwich) and at the various stations were kept on duty during the afternoon in case their services might have been required, but there did not appear the least necessity for their being called out, as th© meeting proved a very lame affair, and more like a hoax than a reality; the number present, including special constales, scarcely amounting to more than from 800 to 1,000 persons. The principal speakers who were expected never made their appearance, and long after the hour named for the meeting the parties present were playing at leap-frog, pushing each other into the pools of water, or throwing clods of earth for frolic and amusement. One or two persons attempted to address the meeting when they found the leading Char- tists who had been expected did not arrive, but the disappointed meeting scarcely paid any attention to them, and left the ground, declaring it would be a long time before they proceeded on such a fool's errand again. Highly to the credit of the workmen of the factory and the Woolwich dockyard, there were not more than two or three present at the meeting, and an excellent plan was adopted at Messrs. Penn's and other large establish ments, of enrolling the workmen as special constables for the protection of the property, and by that means many persons were absent from the tnicting who other wise might have been present to gratify their cariosity. The Chartists held another large meeting in the Lecture-room, Newcastle, on Tuesday evening. The only practical measure taken was the adoption of a me morial to Sir George Grey, praying him to spare the lives of the two unfortunate men, Thompson and Dow son, left for execution at the het Durham assizes for the murder of a gamekeeper in Ruby park. Everything passed off in peace and quiet ness.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liver 00l yesterday was heavy. i Sales 3,500 bales American d. to Id. per lb. lower. Shares were as dull as possible, and prices again lower. We briefly adverted yesterday, under this head, to the general and more important points of the speech of the Governor of the Bank of England to the body of pro prietors, of the successful working of the estab lishment, and to the heartily received proposi tion for an increase of the half-year's dividend to four-and-a-half per cent. But though evidently there were many of the proprietors who came charged with documents to address the Court upon, and especi ally as to the progress made by the Select Committee of the Commons on the working of the Bill of 1844, all was forgotten in the pleasure felt that the dividend was to bo increased. However, ono matter is held in reserve for the next half-yearly general meeting, ample enough for a two or three days' discussion. One proprietor has intimated that he shall bring the whole of the ma nagement of the directors under review, a sort of monster motion, like Mr. Anstey's, would-be condem nation of the political policy of Lord Palmerston. Altogether the meeting passed off most satisfactorily. The accounts from Paris are still of considerable importance. The suspension of payment by the Bank of France was fully expected, but the effect may be more decided here than was expected, as it is rumoured that in surances are already being made, and that arrangements are on foot for shipping off a million sterling. If gold commands a good premium, it will be a profitable spe culation to ship it to France either in discharge of lia bilities, or to be placed at the command of such houses at Paris as can offer good security for the same. It is calculated by some that 10 or 15 per cent. may be obtained should specie continue as much in demand in France as it has been during the last few days.
