--~_ EVENING SUN. NOTICE TO MARINERS. CHANGE OF PILOT STATION FROM THE RIVER 1100GHLY. Notice is hereby given, that referring to the impracticability during the last south-west monsoon, owing to the increasing resort of shipping to the port of Calcutta, to supply pilots at the distant station off Point Palmyras, the following arrange- Wills will be adopted for the next S.W. monsoon. Ist. A pilot vessel will be stationed off False Point during the next S.W. monsoon—say from the 15th of March to the 15th of September, 1842, bearing according to circumstances R. by N. a S.E. by S. from the Lighthouse, and in from 10 to 15 fathoms deep of water. 21. This vessel will exhibit 1243 day, when any others are in sight, besides the usual Company's ensign at her peak, a large Danish Jack (red, with white cross) at her maintop-gallant mast-head, and at night a good light in the same situation, besides burning a blue light every hour, and beating a gong frequently in calm thick weather, to warn vessels coining from the southw ar d o f h er near ne i g hb our h o od ; she will not, however have any pilots on board, the main object of her in tended station off False Point being to guard all inward-bound vessels from proceeding to the old station off Point Palmyras dinin g the next season, and directing them to a new one in the South Channel, between the tails of the Eastern and Western Reefs, where rilot•vessels will then be found in from sixteen to twenty fathoms water, and from six to eight miles so uth-west of the. present South Channel Buoy, that buoy lying in lat. 20 deg. 58 min. 30 sec. North ; lon. 88 deg. 4 min. East of Greenwich, and in twelve fathoms' water. 3 d. For the purpose of more distinctly marking the new Station, the Commanding-officer's vessel there will wear by day, when other vessels are in sight, a large St. George's Jack (white, with red cross) at her maintop gallant-mast head, be sides the usual Company's colours at her peak ; and at night be distinguished by a constant good mast-head light, by blue lights and maroons used alternately every half hour, and also by guns fired every four hours, say at 8, midnight, at d &IL, with good rockets discharged at. the same time. 4th. All vessels are recommended to be most careful in e fting over from False Point to the New station—by constant attention to the lead, and thereby correcting their steerage, as tides or currents may, or may not, set them out of their proper Course ' • and their- are also advised 'unto come under 16 fathoms at night, especially till they reach the Pilot Station and get their proper Pilots on board. s th. Lastly—All vessels are directed not to approach the Pilot Station at night without giving due warning, and not only by the exhibition of lights, say two vertical, where best seen, but also'by the discharge of a gun, if they have any on board, a s soon as they descry the first Pilot vessel near them. They are further recommended to be most careful not to come into collision with any of the Pilot vessels at the Station on their O wn account, no less than that of the public, as they will be held responsible for all damages, and called upon afterwards to Pay for all that may have arisen from had look out, inattention t o duty, or carelessness of any kind whatever.

Tho 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 proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily preis. 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 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 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 questionable tendency, made us ex- tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this w or k b y an inteligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hestta. tints in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. 'he 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, stieh as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., 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 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 we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for m pr oral a oducin bo g ok.—Conservative Journal. so useful, so much wanted, so valu a bl e, and so truly 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 be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most is need of them.—State sman. Messrs.

On Tuesday evening last, Mr. F. Rowton de livered his concluding lecture on the genius and writings of Boz. He stated that, having on the previous occasions displayed the qualities of Dickens's writings, his object, on the present, was to speak of their aims. To this end he re viewed the author's productions seriatim, begin ning at the Sketches and ending with his last published work, "Barnaby Rudge." In the course of his review Mr. Rowton spoke particu lady of the aims of " Oliver Twist," " Nicholas Nickleby," and " Barnaby Rudge." " Oliver Twist" was intended, he said, to expose (by pic ture rather than by precept) the working of the New Poor-law system ; and had also for its ob ject, to show that the restraining power of capital punishment is not so great as some people 'be lieve ; and that, properly exhibited and set forth, the terror of conscience and agony of horror that follow the commission of sanguinary crimes, have a greater restraining tendency than the fear of a momentary and painless death. This led the Lecturer to make a brief inquiry into the right of man to take away the life, of his fellow creature; and he showed with much originality and force, that neither reason, nor justice, nor policy, nor religion, can be pleaded in favour of this punish ment. In speaking of Nicholas Nickleby," Mr. Rowton pointed out, as its principal aim, the exposure of the Yorkshire school system, which he justly and forcibly stigmatised; and, after showing the aim of "Barnaby Rudge" •to be against bigotry and intolerance, in other words, against a religious cry, he spoke at some length on the subject of religious liberty, and power fully enforced the rights of conscience in matters of faith and creed. Mr. Rowton here took oc casion to argue against the notion that Dickens has . produced his best works, and passed the meridian of his powers. He showed, with great effect, that Dickens's mind, being universal in its grasp, can be bounded only by the limits of creation itself; and, till that yields no more to its gaze, must go on improving. The Lecturer next spoke of the one great and general aim of all Boz's writings; viz. to make men look on the bright side o human nature, and of the world. This point he discussed with great earnestness and ability, urging the evils that would result from painting humanity in dark and dismal co lours. Dickens's cheerful views and sound prin ciples lie illustrated by reciting the " Baron of Grozgswig," (from Nicholas Nickleby), with much humour and comic talent. In drawing to a conclusion, ,the Lecturer de scribed Dickens as peculiarly the author of the acre. Mr. It. pourtrayed the features of the times in which we live in an exceedingly striking man ner, and showed how completely Dickens is the representative of the great changes, throbbings, and tendencies that characterize the present pe riod. His peroration was exceedingly fine —con ceived and delivered in the true spirit of elo. quence. His remarks on the universality of the age, struck us as bearing some resemblance to Channing's ideas on this subject—although, by the bye, we do not know how, upon that subject, they could well be different. Mr.Ricoilvetrolisf witheon eluded his address by identifying D this principle of universality, a n d showing that h e possesses that quality of mind which enabled Shakspeare and our other great writers to be come what they represent, an d to be what they describe. The Lecture was received throughout with marked attention and applause. This Mr. Row- PRICE 5d ton neatly and happily acknowledged at its corn elusion, and modestly attributed the favour o his audience to the interesting nature of the sub. ject upon which he bad been engaged. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING, PAPERS OF THIS DAY. POST.—When Mr. Daniel Webster was in . England he took g rea t pa i ns to persuade the British public that it might re l y w i th confidence on the determination, as well as the ability, of the American States to pay the interest of their debts with punctuality an d h onour. Mr. Web ster's convictions to this effect were recorded in the newspapers, in answeT to some interrogato ries that were put to him by the house of Baring, Brothers, and Co., and these, too, in what was intended to be language more than ordinarily solemn and impressive. We thought at the time, however, tnat Mr. W e b s t er ' s letter had a sus picious appearance. Notwithstanding all the affected gravity and impartiality of the writer, we recognised in it the puff of an over -zealous advocate; and, with our accustomed candour, we took the liberty to say so. Since the publi cation of the letter in question, the American States have been falling one after the other with a rapidity that contrasts strangely with the openly declared sentiments of Mr. Webster, which are already falsified on both points; for, if the example of Mississippi and Michigan may be assumed as a test of the fact, there is not only not the ability to meet the State engagements with punctuality and honour, but even the dispo sition to do so is wanting. Such is the discord ance between the opinions promulgated by Mr. Webster two years ago, and the conduct of the citizens of the Union since, that, 'while the divi dends due to State creditors are dishonestly with held, the surest passport to their Governorships appear to be the unequivocal avowal on the part of candidates for the office, of their bias in favour of repudiation. Mr. Webster may pretend to think that a better feeling in the States will prevail before long, and that, al though the payment of the dividends of some of them is at present suspended, the evil is one of a temporary nature. This is mere matter of opinion, but, admitting that such may be the case, we do not see how those persons who have been compelled or induced to sell their stocks at a greatly depreciated value are ever to be in demnified for their losses. For the Mississippi bonds we have no quotation. They are probably not saleable at any price, but Illinois, which, on the 30th of August last, were at 55 to 56, were by the last quotation from New York at only 34 to 35; and Indiana, which were, on the 30th of August, at 56 to 57, had fallen, by the 30th of November, to 34 36. The democracy of America is not to be con vinced of the policy of upholding the credit of the States; and the increasing demand for repu diation among the humbler classes seems to lead to the conclusion that the principle will, in the course of time, become almost general. This is, perhaps, the best evidence that can be offered of the danger of placing the supreme power of a country in the hands of the uneducated and un thinking masses, or, as the economists express it, " of the people." HERALD.—In the absence of particular and mercantile news from abroad, conversation and interest in the City is intensely directed to cer tain proceedings in the Court of Bankruptcy now in progress. The people of the old and honest system of trade are extremely scandalised by the exposures which are taking place, and these exposures do not fail to recal recollection to the nefarious system of trade introduced some twenty years ago by some select houses noto rious for the " i mmense fortunes" made in a short time by it. By decree of the 27th of January, 1833, the importation of iron chain cables for the service of the Royal Navy in Spain was permitted sub ject to a duty of 15 per cent. in Spanish vessels and 25 per cent. in foreign, calculated upon a value of 60 reals per quintal. On the represen tations of a commercial house at Barcelona this permission was extended, by royal order of May 3, 1840, to chain cables for the merchant service. Thislpermission is, however, only provisional; as it is enacted that foreign cables shall only be admissible so long as none shall be manufactured in the Peninsula. Latterly, however, a chain cable manufactory has been established at Barcelona, by an Association under the title of the Catalan Company, conducted by means of English workmen, and it may be feared, theretbre, that occasion will be taken to obtain from the Spanish Government the re-establish ment of the prohibition. Mines ofargentiferous lead have been recently discovered in the sierra, or mountain range, of Almagrera, or of Montroy, in the province of Almeira, at a short distance from the town of that name. Four hundred excavations or open ings have already been made, but two mines only in the Jaboso excavation, on the side of the plateau of Maleyra, have as yet led to results of particular consequence. The analysis of the products of these mines made at Al meira gives sixty per cent. per quintal of lead, and from 18 to 24 ounces of silver, or on the average 21 ounces. Lead is more abun dant in the mining district of Gador, but the pre sence of silver has raised the value of the mineral of Almagrera to 25 reales de vellon per arroba and as it was considered that this price was still below the real value a further rise was expected. The products obtained since the commencement of the workings have been as abundant as those of the well-known and longer-worked sierra of Gador. It frequently occurs in the mines of this sierra, which are all of a great depth, and in the grounds where the mines are opened and worked, that the yield scarcely covers the ex penses of extraction. In the sierra of Almagrera, on the contrary, the mines are almost always near the surface, so that the opening of eight mines cost no more than what is required for one only at Gado r , w hil s t the vein, once dis covered, remains profitable for a long and con tinned extraction of metal. So that, at actua prices, the working of these mines becomes ai advantageous speculation. SUN.--The English Market for Stocks was dull to-day, although the business transacted was not of magnitude. The rate for one or two invest- ments - was rather higher. For the opening Con sols were marked 881- to 89, and for present de livery 89/ to with the dividend. Exchequer Bills were 10s. to 12s. premium, and East India Bonds 2s. to 3s. premium. Bank Stock rose to 1651. to 1651, and India Stock was specially trans ferred at 249. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 981 to 981, and the Three per Cents. at 98i to 89k. There was rather more done in Foreign Stocks, and prices, except for Portuguese Bonds, which were still heavy, generally kept up. Spanish Active Bonds were at 24 to 24i ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. at. 321 to 32k; the Th ree per Cents. at 1 9 1 to ; Mexican at 26; Colom bian at 234, and Brazilian at 634. Austrian Stock advanced to 109; Russian was at 113 i.; French Five per Cents.

AMERICAN CHEESE.--AlllOllO the recent arrivals from the United States have been large quan tities of Cheese. This cheese is subject here to an im port duty of 12s. per CWt. ; and the freight and other ex penses, we are assured, must considerably exceed a half penny per pound, thus adding to its original value ,o per !n America not l ess than 2d. per pound, or some 40 or J r cent. on i ts cost price. Yet this cheese is sellin g here at pri ces which bring it into direct competi.tion: i t cheese o f B r i tish manufacture.

The principles upon which the business of this office is con ducted, is to afford 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 capability 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 ing from Three Months to any other agreed period, its 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 association, 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 render the Institution signally beneficial to the great mass 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 De . ed of Settlement will be forthwith prepared for regu- lating the affairs of the Association, and for limiting the —re sponsibility of the Shareholder, until either an Act of Parlia ment or a Charter may be obtained ; such Deed to be settled and approved by Counsel. The Capital of the Association shall consist of Five Hundred Thousand Pounds, divided info 20,000 Shares, of 25/. each. The Deposit is 21. 10s. per Share; which, it is expected, will be sufficient 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 shall remain in office five years; after which time Three Directors and one Auditor 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 Director;. A Special General Meeting of Proprietors shall be convened by public Advertisement in the month of July, 18.17, 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 deem it groper to submit to them. The Qualification of voting by Proprietors 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 additional Vote for every subsequent Fifty Shares. But no Proprietor shall have a Vote in virtue of any Shares 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 tor 501. and upwards, not only on the lives of persons resident in the United Kingdom, but also on the lives of parties res ident an y where Ivithin and even beyond the limits of Europe, including Foreigners of all nations at Rates proportionate to the nature of the risk. To Naval and Military Officers, at home and abroad, every facility will be given for effecting Assurances on their lives. • Ladies and others, to whom it may be inconvenient to ap pear at the Office, will be visited at their residences by a Me • dical Officer of the Institution. The business of this Office also embraces Assurances on Surviverships; the granting and purchasing of Annuities, im mediate, deterred, or Survivorship , the purchase of Contin g ent and Reversi onar y P roper t y • the endowment of Widows and Children ; and th e advancing of Money, on Annuity, Mort age, and other available Securities. The annexed Rates of Premium are as moderate as consis tent with perfect security. They are constructed on the prin ciple of affording to the Assured the option of either securing a fixed Sum, or of having it increased by a participation in the Profits. __- Assurances may ale be effected b a single payment, by a payment for a number o f years certain, or by any other mode as may meet the views of th e A ssure d : an d t h e Premiums may be paid either yearly, h a lf- year l y, or quar t er ly, at pro portionate Rates.

But the system of Life Assurance, however valuable to the members of the 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 fur 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 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 engagements—anticipating, 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 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 vast 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, propose other benefits highly useful and important to both, it must safely and successfully enter into competition with the existing Institutions with full confidence 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 Table, which has been compiled from the most authentic sources; and, from this, 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.

Illustrated with Cases, &c. By C. J. LUCAS and CO., Consulting Surgeons, London.

'e 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 threatening 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 aro none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those 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 management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstract e d f rom th 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 correct 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 Friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secresy 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 "Manly 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 courage. The work it written in a concise and perspi cuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; h ow 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 0.....-New Bell's Weekly Messenger. mind and body. " 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 arid 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 s t u d y 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, y e t very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requ i r i ng doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery a n d t h e surgery of the s e t y u e d ) y. an l e , n h t e i r t e . n d e e s o • oft tthis e b , s o tko is highly deeply mora important b ranc h o f l, and it a b oun d s 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, intellig ent style, and is evi dently the production of a mind long and practically conver sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization."—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 essay is most particularly ad dre sed to all suffering under 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.

A treaty is already made betw een t h e various Governments through whi c h it passes for its erection. The divisions to Magdeburg, Oschersleben, and Wolfen buttel are already mentioned. The Hanover division will be 17 miles long, and cost 3,230,000 rixdollars. Uncertain whether the Government of Hanover will build it or a private company. 10.
