The Report of the Government Commissioners, and the deep interest which has been expressed in Parliament, and by all who have the safety of our navy, the success of our commerce, and the protection of our seamen and fishermen at heart, prove incontestibly the absolute necessity which exists for the imme diate reparation of all our present harbours, and for the f.►rma tion of at least 250 new ones. The expense which has hitherto been one of the insurmountable impediments no longer offers any obstacle, as by Captain Tayler's meritorious- invention this Company can form 180- harbours at a less expense than that certified by the Government Commissioners as the sum re quired by the old modes for the formatioi of three. The fa cility of construction enables this new Floa'ing Breakwater to be affixed, and harbours of refuge formed, on the most exposed parts of our coasts, where not only none at present ex'st, but where also none other than by this methotl can be constructed ; and smooth water for the saf' landing of goods and passengers by steamers can be ensured at all, even the most exposed piers. The Directors have great satisfaction in stating that they are in active negotiation with several places of the highest maritime impot tance, and that the Admiralty, zealous for the promotion and success of the undertaking, hare already granted the use of anchors and ground moorings to enable Captain Tayler's plan to be put in immediate operation at Brighton.

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond. ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical practitioners Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or, where debi lity has made threatering inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of Families, and esrcially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and there salutary cautions this work is in tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require for their safe inanagoment the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the con ect treatment of sexual infirmities. " If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec tion and extensive practical exper.ence."—Planet. The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and sf . cresy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with out affording a remedy. It shows how " Men'y Vigour" temporarilyimpaired, and mental and physical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Messenger. "Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public, and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession, are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and will demand that medical works for public study should be devoid of that mysterieus technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring doubtle:siy (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye) an entire devotedne.s to a deeply important branch of study. The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well-told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi dently the production of a mind long an I practically conver sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human varganization."—Magnet The security of Happiness in the Marriage State is the chief anxiety of all; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations. This essa 3, is most pa . tic ularl y ad dre .seci to all sufferi ng un d er a despondency of the character alluded to ; and advice will be found calculated to cheer the drooping heart, and point the way to renovated health.

On Thursday evening, pursuant to advertisement, an adjourned Special General :heeling of the Members of the Borough of Marylebone Reform and Registratium Association" took pla ce a t t h e i r R ooms, in Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, for the p ur p ose o f considering the state of the affairs of the Associati o n, an d t h epropriety of re solving on its immediate di sso l u ti on . • Mr. J. Bscsitsw, late M.P. for Sudb ur y, was, nt t.ight o'clock, unanimously appointed to the Chair. He ob served that, in his capacity of President of that Associa tion, he had had the good fortune to meet its members when they were at the summit of prosperity and happi ness. He had also met them at periods when dissensions and disunion affected their ranks, and when other cir cumstances had left them apparently without a hope. Although the Association was at the present moment in the latter position, lie felt assured that there was still spirit enough left among the Reformers of Marylebone not to let so admirable and useful an institution be lost for want of funds. To the efforts of that Association was mainly attributable the triumphant result of the late election in that Borough—(Hear)—and although they were now at rather a low ebb, and were taunted by their political opponents and the public press, that they were in the last throes and agonies of death, he believed that the Reformers would come forward and rescue the Bo rough from the disgrace of allowing such an Institution to die.—(Hear.) It was for the present Special General Assembly of the Associatien to decide its fate. They were left, with a debt of 20(11, and if that were wiped off there was no doubt but they should be enabled to go on efficiently. It might be asked how had they got into such a dilemma. He could assert that (here had been no lack of economy, but it must be borne in mind that they had no regular collector, and gentlemen who had acted as such in their various districts, had, in consequence of being occulted in the late election, been unable to devote so much time as during previous years. It might appear strange, that out of 50,000 e l ec t ors w h o recor d e d the i r votes for the Reform candidates, that an Institution like that Association should not receive sufficient support. The same reasons, however, that kept many good Re formtrs from recording their votes at elections kept them also from giving publicity to their statements by joining the Association.— (Hear, hear.) The taunts cast upon the Association by that portion of the public press of the opposite side of polities had, during the past week, been of the most venomous eha• meter, but the defamatory languge used had only tended to rouse the spirit of Reformers, as exhibited that evening.— (Hear, hear.) lie hoped in the discussion that gentlemen would steer a different course from their opponents, and that whilst they Mt as he did, that the cause of Reform was a sacred one, that they had no right to indulge in -vituperation against others who held adverse opinions.—(Cheers.) To revert to the situa tion of the Association, the most essential part of the business of that evening was the needful to carry out its objects. They were full of life yet.— (Laughter.) Pros pects had brightened—(Bear) —already a number of gentlemen had come flirward in the most handsome man ner fur the purpose of securing to the Reform cause the continuance of so excellent and useful an Institution, and the pi° nines from other sources assured him (the Chairman) that their's was not a lost hope.—(Cheers.) Ho hoped the appeal which had been made would also not be made in vain to gentlemen present, and that before the proceedings terminated the Association would be re lieved to a great extent from its present difficulties and liabilities. Mr. ALLEN, the Svcretary, here read the Report of the Managing Committee explanatory of the position of the Association, as also several letters, regretting the absence of the writers, and inclosing subscriptions. Mr. Cox begged to present a letter from Mr. Kensett, whose illness alone prevented his being present. The letter, after r.gretting the position of the Association, and offering to contribute what was deemed necessary, caked the attention of the meeting to the existence of an Alter Reform Association in the Borough, and that there was an implied contract between them, that after the late election they should both be dissolved and a new one formed, which would be open to all Reformers, and which latter course the writer trusted would be adopted. The CHAIRMAN was surprised at the tenour of this letter. The Association was not only open to every Reformer in the borough, but he could assure the meet ing that he, as President, knew of no " implied contract" whatever between that and any other Society. Indeed, he believed that there was now no other Reform Associa tion in that borough in existence.—(Hear.) Mr. KARR wished to know if the great majority of Vice-Presidents of the Association were not Members of Parliament ; and why they, as Reformers, had not come forward to assist it ? The CHAIRMAN—''Most of them were Members of Par liatueut, but the " fortune of war" has reversed the order of things; they are not so now. In the list before me I find unseated our friend Rowland Alston, General Evans, Messrs. Grote Duckworth, Pattison and amongst the rest, our friend Grote, Hume.-(Laughter.) When I ask them to assist our Association, they say, Bagshaw, why don't you assist me in my borough.—(Renewed laughter.) Mr. KARR considered they ought to set a better ex ample, as Reformers.—(Hear, hear.) He was well aware that 51. was not to be picked up every day, but there were hundreds of gentlemen in that borough who could, without missingit, contribute their 51. annually towards the support of so good a Society.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN fully concurred in the views of Mr. Karr; but, be it observed, that many of those gentlemen had, to fight very hard battles, and spend a great deal of money! in the boroughs they had contested. He had, himself ; on the late occasion, fought a very hard battle at Harwich, and he could assure them that he parted with his Si very. reluctantly.—(hear.) Professor KEY observed, that twenty-five gentlemen, amongst whom were some of t h e Vi ce -P res id ents , h a d come forward, and had pledged themselves to raise, either by themselves or friends, the turn of 5/. per an num each, towards the support of the Institution ; and he had no doubt but many more would do the same.— (Cheers.) With regard to the observation of Mr. Ken sett, as to throwing the Association open to Reformers, it was open to every resident of the borough contri buting 4s. annually ; and the person paying that sum had equal right and power with those who subscribed ten guineas. --(hear, hear.) No objection had ever been made to any Reformer i • and even if Chartists wished to become members of the Association, upon payment of the year's subscription, they were not only bound, but proud and happy to receive them.—(Cheers.) Mr. IVIMEY said the question before the meeting was, how were they to get out of their present diiiir.ulties 7 (Hear.) The only way to overcome it was for the Asso- elation - to pledge 'itself; in the first place, to help the Committee out of the 200/. debt ; and then came the question as to whether the Association should be dis solved or not. It was hard that all the responsibility should rest on the shoulders of the Trustees and Manag ing Committee only. He would move that the Associa tion agree to indemnify the Managing Committee against the liability of the debt of 2002 incurred up to Christmas. Mr. BISHOP seconded the resolution. He wished it to be understood that the insinuations in a certain portion of the public press; of this debt having been incurred by the Association in the part it took at the late election, were unfounded. It had been incurred purely an d solely in carrying out the objects of the registration.—. (Hear.) The result had arisen from want of proper atten tion in getting in s ubscriptions.

With regard to the dissolution of that Association, it would be the height of folly to conten t _ 1 te such a course. By t hat Association was the e. dent pa organization ffi of Reformers at the last election effected, and, if they permitted it to be dissolved, th ey would not only never be enable d to establish another, but the Reform cause would be ruined for ever.—(Hear.)

At all e vents, it would shut out a large number of persons whom h e (Mr. Daniell) was aware were determined to join th e A ssocia. mien solely in consequence of the attacks made upon it in in Wigmore the Times and Herta! newspapers.—(Cheers.)

With all this, that Association were abused for being in debt, whilst their opponents were in a ten times worse position, and were sending begging letters all over the borough. —(Cries of " Hear, hear.")

Removing to No. 24, Lombard-street, (Messrs. Whit more's late Banking Home). The following is the PROSPECTUS already published : Experience has established the value and importance of Life Assurance to all classes of the community; and the prosperity attending the institutions of this nature, which have already been founded, incontestibly proves the soundness of the princi ples upon which its calculations are based. But the system of Life Assurance, however valuable to the members of he community in general, as affording the means of either entirely providing for, or of greatly enlarging the re sources of their families after death, may yet be regarded as more immediately and especially beneficial to those persons who are wholly dependent upon their own exertions for sup. port, or who have only a life-interest in the property they pos sess. It is valuable also, inasmuch as it enables individuals with fixed incomes, (from whatever source derived, whether from Government or other situations, or from pensions or an nuities for lives), to perpetuate them to their representatives —offers entire indemnity to creditors against loss by 'the demise 'Of debtors—secures the continuance of leases determinable upon lives, and renewable by tine—attaches responsibility to personal security, thereby assisting individuals to obtain such temporary aid, by way of loan, as may be necessary for conducting their business, or the fulfilment of their engagements—anticipating, and altogether providing against tho inconvenience and injury often occasioned by the withdrawal of capital from business on the death of a partner. In short, it is available to persons in every profession, trade, office, and circumstance; and, under all the modifications, and constantly occurring varietir s of ci,n tingent interests, dependent upon the duration of life. Nevertheless, strange to say, but very few persons have hi.. therto availed themselves of the inestimable benefits which Life Assurance is so well adapted to bestow—their number being only about 88,000 out of the vat population of the United Kingdom. It is, therefore, evident that an ample field remains open for the exertions of a new Company of a similar charac ter. Moreover, it must be evident that if such Company can, irrespective of the advantages usually proffered by the Societies already established, and without risk to the interests either of the Proprietors or of the Assured, protose other benefits highly useful and important to both, it must safely and successful'y enter into competition with the existing Institutions with full cer.fidence in the support of the public. Of the large profits which have been derived by the Share nolders in some of the principal Assurance Companies, an idea may be formed by the perusal of the following short 'fable, which has been compiled from the most authentic sources; and, from th's, it. must be manifest, that a Company which, in addition to the ordinary business of I.Ve Assurance, embraces also the business of a Loan Bank to the Assured, will, if ably conducted, offer to the Capitalist a secure and productive in vestment, without trouble or the danger of pecuniary loss. ;Price pei Share.

This mode of employing the capital of the Association, is the adoption of means fur augment►ng the number of lives assured, and of greatly in creasing the profits beyond those of a Life Assurance Company on ly. And this will be found one of the most valuable prin ciples of Assurance, on account of its capahitity of being ap plied immediately and permanently to the benefit of the As sured himself, whilst living, as well as to others after decease. Individuals possessing real or personal property, Officers in the Army or Navy, Clergymen, Professional men, Merchants, Tradesmen, and persons of respectability and character, may, if assured with this Association, obtain advances for periods very trig from Three Months to any other agreed period, in amounts of 501. and upwards, upon either real or personal security, to be approved of by the Directors, including the security of Policies effected by parties with this Associati in, according to their value at the time of the Loan. The Directors are persuaded that by combining confidence with caution, and carrying fairly and liberally into effect this Comprehensive system of Loan in connexion with Life Assur ance, they will not only consult the permanent prosperity of the Association, but at the same time renter the Institution aignally beneficial to the great miss of the community. Having thus premised the General objects of the Associa tion, it is necessary briefly to state, THE REGULATIONS OF THE COMPANY. A Deed of Settlement will be forthwith prepared for regu lating the affairs of the Association, and for limiting the re sponsibility of the Shareholler, until either an Act of Parlia ment or a Charter may be obtained ; such Deed to be settled and approved by Counse!. The Capital of the Association shall consist of Five Hundred Thousand Pounds, divided into 20,000 Shares, of 251. each. The Deposit is '2l. lOs. per Share; which, it i s expecte d , w ill be su ffi cient to obviate the necessity of any further call ; and Interest at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum will be al lowed upon all Deposits from the time of payment into the Bank of the Association. The Accounts shall be audited yearly. The original Directors and Auditors elan remain in office five years ; after which time Three Directors an d one A u di tor will retire annually ; but will be eligible for re-election. Any vacancy which may occur in the interim, either among the Directors or Auditors, will be filled up by the remaining Directors. A Special General Meeting of Proprietors shall be convened by public tisement in the mouth of July, 1847, and afterwards annually, to receive a Report of the progress of the business of the Company, and an account of such other matters as the Directors may deetn it proper to submit to them. The Qualification of voting by Proprieto rs at every Special and General Meeting shall be according to the following scale, viz.:— The Holder of 15 Shares shall be entitled to One Vote. ... 25 ••• ••• ••• Two Votes. 50 ••• ••• ••• Three Votes. 100 ••• ••• Four Votes. And an addiiienal Vote for every subsequent Fifty Shares. But no Proprietor shall have a Vote in virtue of any Share s unless such Shares shall have been at least Six Months in his or her name, previous to such Special or General Meeting.' Assurances may be effected 'or 50/. and upwards, not only on the lives of persons resident in the United Kingd om , b ut also on the lives of parties resident anywhere within and even beyond the limits of Europe, including Foreigners of all nations at Rates proportionate to the nature of the risk.

No sooner is a Medicine well established in public favour than a host of imitators arise, who, for the sake of gain, not only wrong the Proprietors of the genuine Medicine, but inflict a serious injury on the unwary purchaser of their base counter feit trash. These observations apply with increased effect to the Medicine which is now so well known as " PARR'S LIFE PILLS." This famous remedy has been established by undoubted proofs of its ef f icacy , and by a mass of eviden ce and testimonials which no other medicine ever yet called f o rth. These facts have had the effect of producing a very large sa l e ameto the knowledge —more thanlydge of someooeboxespe rweek.Nhen this l arge sa l e unprincipled persons, they, for the sake of gain to themselves , and reckl ess of the injury it may do to others, attempted to foist on the incautious various imitations, supported by statements which exhibit the most un blushing effrontery. In order that purchasers may be able to de tect these frauds, care must be taken to look at the Government Stamp pasted round each box, and be sure it has the words " Parr's Life Pills," in white letters on a red ground, engraved therein, and forms part of the stamp ; also that the name of 6. M r . Edwards, 67, St. Paul's, London," is printed, as Whole sale Agent, on the directions wrapped round each box., Ask for 6' Parr's Lire P i lls," and inquire for the little book containing the Life of Old Parr, thirty-two pages, with engrav ings, also the numerous testimonials, which may be had gratis on application of all agents and respectable venders throughout the United Icngdom. As a proof of their efficacy the Proprietors refer to the'follow ing Extraordinary Cure of Confirmed Asthma selected from hundreds of a similar nature : Mrs. Joseph Simpson has been severely afflicted, for the iast thirty years, with a violent cough and difficulty of breathing. The affliction has been so severe that she could not fulfil her usual domestic obligations. She took cold when only fifjeen years old, anti the cough never left her tdl she took Pareit'Life Palls. She had tried almost every kind of medicine, and had taken laudanum in large quantities, but nothing afforded relief. She heard of Parr's Pills about last Christmas, and as soon as she had taken about half a box she found Lerself completely cured, and was never afflicted in the slightest mariner during the severe weather that followed, and is now better in health than she has ever been in her life. . This cure does indeed appear miraculous ; but for the satis faction of the most incredulous, she has kindly cons en t e d t o an swer any inquiries, either by personal application, or ley letter, addressed to Mrs. Joseph Simpson , Church -hill Cl ose , Old Lee ton, near Nottingham.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in prsof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhcod," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu abie.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never -failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work. —Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex • tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • lion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of manyof those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, sunli a, exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of ter...pe_ rature, hereditary taint, ftc., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory, inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, Stc., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think w e go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for pr °clueing so usefu l, so much wanted, so valuabl e , and so truly moral , a book. —Conservative Journal. We recommend the w ork entitled " Manhood," ske careful perusal of per sons of all classes. The moral as. to the wellas physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at their residence , No. 7, Frith-str eet , Soho-square, London.

Capital, X 1,000,000, in 10,000 Shares of .ElO each. Deposit, £2 per Share. To be empowered by Act of Parliament, an the responsibility of the Shareholder limited by Deed of Settlement. _ The Legislature, by the repeal -of the Usury-laws, meant that money, like every other commodity, should find its true level, and, being governed by the principles of demand and supply, it was expected that discounts and loans would oscillate like corn or cloth. The Legislature were mistaken. Hence a curious state of things has arisen. That which is called "paper of the first dais" is readily discounted by bankers for-their customers at five per cent. It is the fashion for bankers not to take more, and fashion is often stronger than law. Paper, not of the first class, but perhaps nearly as good, will not be discounted by bankers at all, except to favoured customers. Hence Bills of Exchange come to those who are restrained by no fashionable delicacy from taking as much as they can get, and that is, in general, at the rate of forty per cent. per annum—sometimes higher, seldom lower—and thus, for slightly varying security, the interest is often increased from five per cent. to eight times as much. It is not surprising, in this state of things, that bankers are daily declining business because they get too little profit, and borrowers daily becoming bankrupt because they give too much. Hence the wide field that is open for an intermediate institu tion, which might charge more than the usual banks, and take paper upon its own merits at such a per centage on each dis count as the managers may think fair and remunerative. To add to the security as well as the profits of the esta blishment, it is expedient that all persons obtaining any sum upon Bill: of Exchange or otherwise. to the extent of 100/. or upwards, shall assure their lives with the office, and that the rates of assurance shall not be upon the low and ruinous scale of many new establishments, but upon that of the old and respectable offices whose profits, by prudence, have be come capitals in themselves vastly larger than the real amount of many of their modern rivals. It may not be useless to add, that it will be one of the great principles of this establishment, that twenty five per cent, o f the profits shall be annually carried to the " rAetslts't'ino.rfiisaursrp;lutso. capital of the Company , until the original ca p ital be d oubled.

The question of the line to be selected for the Paris and Strastavg railroad has given rise to much con troversy among the towns likely to be. affected by it. The two lines hitherto talked of are that by Nancy and that by D:jon. The former is strongly supported by the local interests, but the latter is recommended by Govern ment as being the best suited for a main line from which not only the Strasburg road but that of Lyons may also branch off. The Chamber of Commerce of Havre, having been consulted by that of Strasburg on this point, has expressed a strong opinion in favour of the line by Dijon. Meanwhile the municipalities of various places, more or less important along either line, continue to come forward with votes of money, land, &c ., for pro , moting the undertaking, . 32 33 34 33 5•l 53 54 55 I
