The principles upon which the business of this office is con ducted, is to aff,rd temporary Loans to persons assuring their lives with the Company, upon terms calculated with reference to the amount of the Assurance effected, and the nature of the security offered for their repayment. This mode of employing the capital of the Association, is the adoption of means for augmenting the number of lives assured, and of greatly in creasing the profits beyond those of a Life Assurance Company only. And this will be found one of the most valuable prin ciples of Assurance, on account of its capabi'ity 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 r espectability and character, may, if assured with this Associltion, obtain advances for periods very offrom Three Months to any other agreed period, its amounts of 50/. 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 Association, according to their value at the time of the Lean. The Directors are persuaded that by combining confidence with cau t io n, and carrying fairly and liberally into effect this comprehensive system of Lean in connexion with Life Assur ance, th e y will not only consult the permanent prosperity of the Association, but at the same time render the Institution signally beneficial to the great mats of the community.

Prospectuses to be had, and Application for the Remaining Sha es and Agencies, to be made at the Offices. ADOLPHUS COURVOISIER, Secretary. 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 pension; 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 fine—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 engagetnents—anticipatiog, and altogether providing against the 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 varieties of con tingent. interests, dependent upon the duration of life. Nevertheless, strange to say, but very few persons have his 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 Proprietor's or of the Assured, propose other benefits highly useful and important. to both, it must safely and successfully enter into competition with the existing Institutions with full ecr.fiderice in the support of the public. Of the large profits which gyve been derived by the Sh-re nolders in sonic of the principal Assurance Companies, an idea may be tormed by the perusal of the foqowing 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 Life 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.

We have already heard a great deal of " swingeing" borough rates. but to-day we are called upon to impose a most swinge ing Church-rate.--(Never.) Permit me to calfyour atten tion to tire foundation on which Church-rates arc based. Why do I come forward on this occasion to recommend you not to grant a rate ? Having been called upon by gentlemec resident in this county, to advise on Church. rates, I have, perhaps, turned my attention to it more closely than than the generality of legal men. I have therefore looked a little at their foundation. The first authority to which I would refer is Justice Blackstone, none higher in the world, and he lays down the law to be this :---" At the first establishment of parochial clergy, the tithes of the parish were established in a four-fold division ; but when the sees of the Bishops became otherwise amply endowed, they were prohibited from demanding their usual share of these tithes, and the di vision was into three parts only, subject to the burden of repairing the church, and providing for its supply."— (Hear, hear.) There then, we find that the revenues of the Church, in former times were clearly and dis tinctly applicable to the purposes for which Church rates are now demanded--( Hear, bear.) I will now conic to an authority, that of Lyndwood, Bi; bop of St. David's, said by Sir J. Campbell to be the highest in Ecclesiastical Law. What does he say is the Common Law of the land ? lie wrote in the fifteenth century, and if he was right in his declaration of the law at that time, I decl.ire as a lawyer that I know of no change which has taken place since, that in the slightest degree affects the law of Church-rates as then laid down by him. —(Hear.) Bishop Lynde..ood said, 6' By the Common Law, the fabric or repair of the church belongs to this day to the rector, according to the appointment and cure of the Bishop, since under him that fourth due to the fabric of the church has been transferred to the rector of the church ; so that he who has the fourth ought to repair the church. So that at Common Law he may not be compelled to do this, but certainly by custom even, the lay parishioners arc compelled t. this sort of repair, so that the lay people are compelled to observe this laudable custom." Now, Gentlemen, 1 will quote from another Churchman, Sir John Camp bell, or more correctly speaking, Baron Campbell, the late Chancellor for Ireland. Sir John Campbell said, " I might cite the epistle of Pope Gregory to Augustine the Monk, requiring a portion of the tithes to be set apart for the repair of churches—an act of the Witte nivaelnot in 1014, prescribing that a third part of the tithe shalljbe appropriated for this purpose, and various decrees of councils, is the It2tll and 13th centuries, to the same e ff. ct. But all the books of authority, lay and ecclesiastical, agree in the position, that the burthcu was at fir(t laid fluid continued upon the tithes." How does Sir John Campbell account for the change? He says, " Probably it was very gradually shifted to the parishioners, and their contributions to the expenst were purely voluntary."—(Loud cries of " Hear.") Here, we show that the voluntary principle was in operation at that time. But he goes on and says, " The custom growing, it was treated as ais, obligation, and enforced by ecclesiastical censures."—(Hear, hear.) It is be cause I don't want the custom that I oppose the pro position for a Churclorate.—(Cheers.) It is big enough, in all conscience, already.—( Hear.) It has been cal culated that 304,0001., more than half a million of money, is raised throughout the country by Ceurch-ratcs— (Shame)—and, remember, Gentlemen, in stating this amount, I am quoting from a parliamentary return.— (Heer, hear.) It is because Ido not want the custom to get any fatter or bigger than I stand here, to pro test against the sum of 17,000/. being raised in tho shape of a Church-rate at Leeds.—(Cheers.) Now, Gentlemen, it will probably he expected thatil s hould give you some particular reasons why you ought not to grant the Church-rate now asked for.--(Hear, hear.) If you will refer to the authorities on the subject you will find that Church rates arc very different things now to what they were in former times. What were they ? I shall perhaps_best illustrate the truth Of this position by again referring to another Churchman, Archbishop Winchelsea--and mark, Gentlemen, he was an Archbishop, and therefore you will not suspect that he would leave anything out which he thought the pa rishioners would be compelled to pay.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) In one of the constitutions which lie framed for the guidance of the clergy and the Eccle siastical Courts, he recites evea the minutes' thing that should be subject to a rate. Gentlemen, Ido not find in this " Constitution" anything said about a burial ground. Why have I made this quotation? Certainly not for the purpose of introducing even thet which was to make you laugh, but for the purpose of showing you that much has been added to Cnureh-rates since the days of Archbishop Winchelsea.—(Hear, hear.) Now, then, observe your danger. You are called upon to in troduce a precedent by sanctioning a Church-rate for the purchase of a burial-ground. I am not here to con tend that a burial-ground ought not to be provided. I maintain that such a provision is essential, but not by means of a Church rate.—( Hear, hear.) Because you must remember that a ; arochial burial-ground, pur chased by means of a rate, is a ;dace to whch Dissen ters could not be p. emitted to carry their dead.— (Lelia and repeated cries of " Hear, hem.") Tee children et the denomination to which I belong could not be interred at the parish church.—(Hear, hear.) They might be rejected—nay, I may go further- and say, that it 1 take the canons of the Church as the guide, it is the duty of the clergy to reject them.— (H:ar, hear.) Why do I say that the precedent would be a dai,gcrous one % Let it once be established that the parishioners, by a Church -rate, are to provide but i il-ground, and la but the Ecclesiastical Courts and the Common Law Courts decide one other question, and then you will, indeed, have a swingeing Church rate, because we are told—l won't believe it is possi ble until it is decided—that the minority of the parish can bind the whole, or are to rule the majority, and im pcse a Church -rate, which had been refused by the vote of thousands !—(Loud cries of " No, no.") But, Gentl men, we have Lem told, both in newspapers and otter publicetions, that Lord Chief Just ee Tindal manifestly holds an opinion that the minority of a parish can govern the whole with respect to Church-ratee. —(No, no.) 1 have read every word of what Lout Justice Tindal did say repeatedly aad attentively. I Lae e. advised on them professionally', and I have con ferred with my frieeds upon them, and I never yet could !lad anything in them beyond this simple decla rat.on, that he would give no opinion whatever on the matter.—(Leughtee) Notwithstanding this, it had been redreeated, that although he gave no opinion, he clearly intitrated that he had one at the back of his mind—(Laughter)—whica he %vouhl ! fl in g forth nt the proi-cr time in tavour of the supposition that the mi nority have tie power to govern the majority. What has taken pace in consequence ? Wtty, at 13raintreo end 13radford r (}'.arts hare been made to obtain a Ciiurch rate. Woat has been the tesult ? Why, that gentlemen of the highest reputation and character have had distresses sent into their houses for Church. rates, varying its amount from Si. to 4s. 93.—(t.0uil cr i es of " Shame, shame.") Let it be (once decided and clearly estellished as a custom— and remember, G:!ntlemen, customs grow--( Hear, hear)—that the parishioners tire bound to provid e a burial ground by a compulsory Church-rate, an d the next thing ai n be, that the minority will govern the !sonority, and, as a cons quenee, you may he met by a body of Churchwardens and two pa , ishioners, who might nail on your backs 17,000/, for tie purpose of buying a burial-grounel.—(llear.) Now, Gentle men, Sir John Campbell was in Court and heard all that Chief Justice 'nuclei said on the subject, and 11,1 e. ing done so, lie has ratily defending g"een an opinion that the minority can't bind tare majority.—( IL at, hear.)

Not onl♦ arc the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and (as i❑ 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 experience. "—Planet. " The best of all Fiends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he he consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with fsithful, but alas I for human nature. with afflicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with out affording a remedy. It shows how " Man'y Vigour" temporarily impaired, 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 courae e. 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 biely."—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 mysterious 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 sly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye) an entire devotedne a to a deeply important branch of study. The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well-written, harrowing. yet correct display s o f th e suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.., and even bad hooks. 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 proof 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 "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to tke 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 able. —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 questionede tendency, made us ex • tr,:mely 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 thit we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, myth as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, tcc., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi c:no, 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 we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will he most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs.

PRICE 5d GRAND DEMONSTRATION AGAINST CHURCH - RATES. IMMENSE MEETING AT LEEDS. (Abridged from the Leeds Times.) Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, one of the largest open air meetings ever held in Leeds, was held in the Co loured Cloth Hall.yard, on the subject of Church rates. The meeting was called by the Vicar and the Churchwardens for the purpose of considering the pro priety of levying a rate for the purchase of additional pa rochial burying ground. The numbers present in the Cloth Hall-yard on the occasion were not less than from 10,000 to 12,000 people, amongst whom were se veral of the most influential gentlemen in the town, including, we believe, almost all the Dissenting minis ters. There were two or three flags in the yard, bear ing the following inscriptions—" Down with Church rates. Remember Thorogood and Baines."—" More pigs and less parsons."—" The Church and the Priest hood we willingly barter, in exchange for our rights and the People's Charter." The demonstration of yesterday has settled the ques tion of Church-rates in Leeds, we hope for ever. We look upon the proceedings as the grandest demonstra tion in favour of religious liberty that has occurred for years. The Rev. Dr. How:, the Vicar of the parish, pre sided as Chairman. On opening the business of the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said, the present meeting had been convened by the Churchwardens to take the sense of the parish as to the steps to be taken for the increase of the parochial burying-ground. It had been the duty of the Churchwardens and himself to state to the parish the fact, that the parochial burying-ground in this parish was at present insufficient. They made that statement to the parish generally. What steps they might take to remedy the evil it would re main for them that day to decide.—( Hear, bear.) Fot his own part, he was not at all desirous to raise the money by a parochial rate.—(Hear, bear.) He should be extremely glad to find it done by a general subscrip tion.(Hcar, bear.) It was possible that some of them might disagree in opinion, but they might at least agree to differ, and conduct their proceedings with perfect good humour towards one another.—(Hear, hear.) He should now call on Mr. Barr to read the notice convening the meeting. ROBERT BARR, Esq., Solicitor to the Churchward ens, then read the notice, signed by the Vicar and five Churchwardens. Mr. WILLIAM WHITEHEAI), one of the Church wardens, then came forward, and said he appeared be fore that meeting for the purpose of moving the first resolution. Before, however, be spoke to the resolu tion, he would say a few words as to the conduct of the Churchwardens in calling the meeting. It was the duty of the Churchwardens to call that meeting. On taking office they made a solemn declaration that they would perform the duties of their office to the best of their judgment and ability, and they could not do that without calling that meeting.—(Hear, heir.) It was their firm conviction, that more burying-ground was requisite. They had called the parishioners together to know whether they were willing to tax themselves for such burying-ground. They (the Churchwardens) left the matter entirely in their hands. It was for them to say yes or no.—(A loud and simul taneous shout of " No.") He would proceed to,state the condition of the burying-ground. Previous to 1830 the only parochial but vin;-grounds in Leeds were the one opposite to the Old Church, and the church-yard surrounding, the church. In 1830, the Quarry Hill burying-ground wag purchased, and the first interment took place on the 15th of March in that year. From that period up to the pre sent time there had been no lees than seventeen thousand four hundred and seventy interments, in cluding about three thousand still-born chililion. lie believed the ground was not properly managed, but such was the state of the burying-ground at present, that they did not know where to dig for graves, and on tome occasions in digging for graves, they found coffins only a few inches below the surface.—( Hear, hear.) They found that not more than a hundred new graves could be made, in which the dead might be buried de cently. Other graves might be made, but not in the manner in which they ought to be.—(A voice, " They never have been.") The annual number of interments in the whole of the parochial burying-grounds was 1,420. Of that number about 1,100 were interred in Quarry-hill burying-ground. Supposing that four corpses could be interred in each grave, there would then, in the 100 grates that might still be made, be room only for 400 interments, which would only provide decent interment for about four months, at the rate of 100 per month. As for what was commonly called the New Burial Ground in Kirkgate, that was quite full. He thought, in justice to the Vicar, in conse quence of opinions that had gone abroad as to the amount of the rece , pts for the burial of the dead, he ought to state what the fees were. Tne number of graves-stores annually put down did not exceed :10, and the amount received annually from this source was 151.—(interruption, and shouts of " Who gets it ?") He had not inquired, but he believed the Vicar received those fees.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") The number of interments annually being 1,420, the annual amount raceived by the vicar from this source was 47/. Gi. 8,1. The clerk in orders received annually 23/. 13s. 4d. ; the sexton annually 36/. These were the fees paid on the whole for interments that took place in the parochial burying grounds.— (Cries of" How much has the vicar besides?" " How much salary has be besides ?") He (Mr. Whitehead) had nothing to do with that. As he had st ited at the commencement of his speech, it was the duty of the Churchwardens to bring this matter before the pa rishioners. It was well known to :navy of them that seven out of the eight Churchwardens were Dissenters, and they had been charged with inconsistency, but lie would tell them that they were not liable to that charge.—(Cries of " Yeu could'ut help it ?") They had made a declaration that they would perform the duties of the office, when they accepted it, and if they neg lected to do se, they were liable to be cited before the Es e ee es i a stieal Court, one of the most unconstitutional 1 authorities that ev ar existed.—( L out! shout s of " Hear.") Twelve months ago, they had been commanded by the Ecclesiastical Committee to take this step, and now they merely asked them to say Yes or No.—(Cheers.) They must not carry the matter a step further.-- (Cheers.) 'Feu should have done their duty during their term of office, and their successors might do as they best could. Two resolutions hal been drawn up, and the first one which had been entrusted to him he would read to them— " ThAt in the opinion of this meeting the existing parochial burial-ground for the parish of Leeds is wholly insufficient and inadequate, and that it is necessary, for the decent interment of the dead therein, forthwith to provide, according to law, suitable and convenient additional burial-ground in and for the said parish." The next resolution was to the effect that certain plots of hod specified in the notice convening the meeting should be purchased, and that a rate of eleven pence in the pound should be levied,— (Great hooting.) His own opinion was that it would be a far simpler pl in for only one resolution to be move I, and Ile had one prepared which he thought comprised all th .t was necessary. The following was the resolution he had prepared :—" That a rate of elevenpence in the pound be now laid upon all the ratable property in the parish, for the purpose of pur chasing additional ground for conveying the same to the parish, and for inclosing and making it proper for a burial-ground." (Several persons here asked, 11 0 , much will a rate of elevenpence produce ?") 1-l e would te ll th e m they must recollect at the same time that the Churchwardens bad not the power to lay the rate on the township alone, but were compelled by law to lay it on the whole perish,including, the out-townships.— (Hear, hear, hear.) The total nominal amount et the rate would be 17,393!. l ls. Bd.—(Shouts of" Hear hear," and laughter.) The nominal amount for the township of Leeds would be 11,140/. 19s. Bd. and for the out-townships 6,2541. 12s. That was not all. They must take the leaka ges i n the collection of the rate into account. Ile had taken the trouble to ex amine the accounts of the last Church rate that was levied in Leeds, and he found that the leakages in the collection of that rat e i n t h e out-townships ain ' o ur:ted to 71 per cent.—(Hear.) Alter deducting these leak ages, the rate would yield 5,570/. 9s. 10,1. from the township oflol. from the out-townshi re L e e n ' al anting at o t 2 a , 1 5 0 0 g,07 1- 2 6 ;.. He was quite sure of tlOs, that so long as there were Dissenting Churchwardens in office, they would never use their power hi the Ecclesiaitical Court against any Dissenter w h o re f use d to pay the rete.—( Listed che ers.) On the other hand, it was impossible for ally Dissenter, holding the office of ChurchwaredsunsT.uonlceaslsl be were either a fool or a madman.— f the people together when duty required them so to do.. -- (Bear.)
