The Work which is now p•esented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and atTec tii.i.s, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the c: dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in ,certain would be entirely out of place in an advertisement.

Since the establishment of the Society, in the month of May, 1839, the profits have gradually increased, so as to render to the Debenture Holders Seven per Cent. per Annum, besides affording to the Proprie tors a very large profit on their Capital. No application for Shares will be attended to, unless accompanied with a remit tance to the amount of the instalment on each Share. By order of the Board, JOHN SIMPSON, Secretary. Hon.

Maitland, Esq. sistant Resident This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re quires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of lifo one half of the very moderate Premiums to be paid for the first five years after the date of the Policy, the other half may remain, subject to the payment of interest at 5 per cent. annually, to be deducted at death, or may previously be paid off at convenience. It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 28/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years. and afterwards by paying yearly the full premium of 571. 12s. 6d., se cure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject only to the deduction of 144/. is. 3d., with interest, being the amount of premium unpaid. This Company holds out, in various other respects, great inducements to the public. When such facilities are afforded, it is clearly a moral duty in every parent who is not possessed of a fortune, but of an income, however moderate, to insure his life for a sum which may yield a comfortable provision for his family.

To be Incorporated, an d th e respons ibili ty li m it e d b y A c t o f Parliament. The object of this Company is to carry into effect that which becomes every day mare and more necessary, vix., to clear the Pool and the narrow part of the Thames of colliers and steam-vessels, by a well-digested plan of a Dock and Rail way, which will be beneficial to the commerce of London, to all the consumers of coal, and prefi , able beyond any other scheme yet devised to the capitalists concerned in its accom plishment. When it is considered that nearly three millions of tons of coals are consumed in London annually, and that other goods are brought by vessels which have to wait the turn of the tide, and run all the risks, and encounter all the delays of a crowded Pool, to an extent of perhaps three millions of tons more, there is consequently a larger and more lucrative field for the judicious investment of capital, than any that has yet been presented to the public. The grand desideratum is to be as near London as possible, to accomplish this object, so that the sinsllest outlay may effect it; hence a site nearly opposite Woolwich, on the north bank of the Thames, has been fixed upon, as possepsing every natural advantage that can be desired for a dock or harbour for colliers and other vessels, and which, being connected with a level country all the way to London, presents advantages for a railway or tram-road, not surpassed by any locality in the kingdom. The Dock will p resen t conven i enc i es f or co lli ers an d ot h er vessels to discha rge th e i r cargoes i n any quantity, so as to save the time and money now wasted; and as all the vessels will be unloaded by machinery, the coals will -he preserved whole, and not converted into dust as they are by the existing process. Immediately on the cargoes being unloaded they will be weighed and dispatched by railway to spacious warehouses formed by its arches near tile City terminus, and let down by machinery so as to preserve the whole from breakage or any other injury. The rent of the warehouses under the arches will form an additional source of income. THE ELEVENTH HUSSARS. (From the Naval and Military Gazette of Saturday.) The Morning Chronicle has this week, with its usual good taste, renewed its virulent attacks on the Earl of Cardigan, in consequence of a corporal punishment having been inflicted on a soldier last Sunday. We shall briefly state the facts of the case. A soldier bad been tried by District Court-martial and by order of the General Commanding. in-Chief. Lord Cardigan bad nothing whatsoever to do with the trial. The man had been in prison eleven days, and had been marched a prisoner from Brighton. The sentence of tie Court-matt a', approved by the Horse-Guards, arrived at the huad-quarters of the regiment by Sunday morning's post ; and Lord Cardigan, who was present, conceiving that it was his duty not to allow a parade to pass, washout it being carried into •execution, ordered the man to receive his punishment in the course of that morning, and then to be released from confinement. After Divine Service had been performed in the Riding School,' the troops were marched out, and the detach ment of the 14th Light Dragoons dismissed. \Vithin the following half hour the 11th Hussars were remarched into the Riding School, and the corporal punishment took place.t It should here be noticed that, so far from Lord Car cigan being•an advocate for corporal punishment, no case has before occurred in his regiment since the end of 1839; and which punishment, we believe, Vies inflicted during Lord Cardigan's absence from the corps. The present punishment, it is also to be recollected, was ordered by the General Commanding-iris Chief. We think it is to be regretted that the punishment took place on a Sunday. Lord Cardigan may or may not have been in error as to the necessity of not allowing a pstrade to pass without carrying the orders front the Horse Guards into effect, or as to the necessity and propriety of taki❑g the earliest opportunity of releasing a prisoner from con finement, even under tire circumstances, as in this case, of an extended confinemenr. There are, however, abundant precedents both the army and navy of corporal punish. ment having been iraftcted on Sundays. On board one of her NlajeAy's ships lying in port a case occurred within a few weeks. We know that punishments on Sunrays are by no means uncommon in our British colonies ; and it is the custom in a grea, number of regimects to have the pro ceeding of Couris-martial read on Sunday parades, e►sh_r previous to or immediately after divine service Witn regard to what has been said to the punishment having taken place in the riding-school, where divine worship had been previously performed, we may observe the t valious duties are performed in the riding-school on a Sunday ; for instance, had it been the last day of the month and unfavourable weather, it would have been the commanding officer's duty, according to the custom of the service, to have mustered the regiment in the riding school. A circumstance has come to our knowledge which should also be mentioned. On the line of march of the 11th Hussars last week from Brighton to Hounslow a man was tried for drunkenness, and sentenced by a regimental Court-martial to receive 100 lashes, but Lord Cardigan, in consequence of the previous good conduct of the sol dier, remitted the whole of the sentence. Further details, with the names of the Trustees, Directors, See., will shortly be published, and, in the meantime, all appli cations may be made to A. IL Steele, Esq. (late Harmer and Steele), 87, Hatton-garden, London. RUSSIA-Pt LAND LOAN OF 150 MILLIONS OF FLORINS, POLISH CURRENCY. HIS MAJESTY the EMPEROR of RUSSIA having AUTHORIED and GUARAN TEED several DISTRIBUTIONS of MONEY DIVI DENDS, which (though they are NO LOTTERIES) offer. many possibilities of obtaining LARGE lORTUNES, JACOB DOCTOR, BANKER, at FRANKFORT-ON. THE-MAINE, Is now SELLING BONDS for the said DISTRIBUTIONS. The SIXTH ADJUDICATION of this LOAN, which will take place at.

For the Sixth Adjudication (to take place on the Ist June) Tithes can be obtained at the price of 1/. each, or six for 51. 'I he Prospectus can be had by applying, by letter, to Jacob Doctor, Banker and General Agent, at Frankfort-on-the- Maine. The Radical press will not allow the opportunity to pass fur further endeavours to excite the public mind against Lord Cardigan, although it is well known that his Lordship is corsidered by the soldiers of the 11th Hussars as a most kind and indulgent commanding officer. Individually we wish the punishment had been post • poncd, rotwithstanding there are many precedents for the course that was adopted. However, whether right or wrong, no man who knows anything of Lord Cardigan will attribute this act to an unkind feeling towards the private soldier. And as to the present state of the 11th Hussars, we can report most satisfactorily :—there arc not half a dozen men on the defaulter's list. WATERLOO-HOUSE, 69, 70, AND 71, Sr. PAUL'S CHURCH-YARD.

The propriety or impropriety of his Lordship's conduct in this matter we must leave to the judgment of military men. * The Morning Chronicle says :—" To add to the in decency, there were 140 men of the 14th Regiment present in the barracks along with the 11th when the flogging took place." The indecency consists in the exaggeration of our worthy Con temporary, the detachment of the 14th having been dis missed.—Eli. - The Morning Chronicle says :—" His Lordship had not the decency to dismiss the men to their quarters and to re a,semble them to witness the punishment, but, as if the flogging was a continuation of the Divine Service, kept them in the place till it had taken place." We challenge our Contemporary to substantiate this statement, which we pronounce to be un true from beginning to end.—En. COMMODORE NAPIER. (From the Liverpool Albion of yesterday.)

(From the Shrewsbury Chronicle, April 16. ) Dr. Kennedy, the present head master of Shrewsbury School is dissatisfied with the " slight outline" given in our last Chronicle, of his very long explanation of what he con ceives are the causes of the decline of that school; since the promotion of his illustrious predecessor, Dr. Butler, to the see of Lichfield ; indeed, Dr. Kennedy asserts that the school began to decline two years before he was appointed the master. We shall not attempt to satisfy Dr. Kennedy that over out line of his written speech (or reply) was: correct ; bttt we think we can satisfy the public, or any temperate person, on that point. His charges against us areas follows: I. —That " the Shrewsbury Chronicle prOfessed to give "a, report of his reply. 11. —That he never said- 4 ! lucrative offers had been. made to him " prior to his acceptance - of ShrewsburY t;chool.: lll.—'l hat he " never used the word Ccmmercial." IV.—That he "said nothing of bending to the times be cause the times would not bend to him." The above are all the objections he enumerates. We will now quote Dr. Kennedy's exact words, in his letter, contradicting our " outline " of the proceedings; and, in con trast, we will quote the "outline" we gave of his meaning:— I. I. The Chronicle. Dr. Kennedy's Letter. We cannot do more than A paragraph professing- to give a slight outline of some be a report of the reply made parts, &c. by me. Dr. K. alludedto the tempt- " I never said lucrative ing and lucrative offers he re- offers had been made to me ceived from other places from other parts." [than Shrewsbury] which Yet in Dr. Kennedy's offers he resisted from his af- written speech, sent by him to fection to his fond and illus- the newspapers, he says— trious teacher, and his love " I resioed prospects which for Shrewsbury schools. were held out to me of a highly flattering kind. —An in come larger, more certain, and more free from anxiety, with a mansion more agreeable than I knew awaited me at Shrews bury." In.—"l did not use the word Commercial." Our words are, " It was his intention to establish Philosophical and Mathematical Classes, in order to fit the pupils for any walk in life, whether literary or commercial." The Doctor's expressions (alluding to his alterations in the Schools, or " bending to the times,") are these :—" An other very important advantage has been gained in the ap pointment of a special Master for Mathematics and Arith metic." Is Lot " Arithmetic" " commercial?" IV.—"I said nothing of bending to the times because the times would not bend to me." Our report of this part, we admit, is inferential. But is not the " appointment of French Teacher "—of " a new Spe cial Muter for Mathematics and Arithmetic "—" the new regulation for exempting from the higher kinds of verse compositions those boys not destined for College ;" are not these expressions sufficient to justify our informants, in the inference they drew from the quoted words, that there was a symptom of " betiding to the times "—a symptom of yielding to the desire for a Commercial Education for the sons of the Burgesses of Shrewsbury? If there were any inaccuracies, we have shown there are none in our account of Dr. Kennedy's speech—the fault is his own. He read his speech to the meeting and he sent copies to other papers, and refrained from sending a copy to us; contrary to the practice of his illustrious predecessor. We therefore gained our information from the best sources open to us—from several intelligent persons who listened to Dr. Ken nedy's address. From the length of that address, few were enabled to carry away more than an outline of its purport — none could attempt to repeat the precise words made use of. We have consulted each of the persons from whom we gained our information, and we have their authority to SAY that every word appearing in the paragraph complained of was used by them in detailing the proceedings to us. Each of these gentlemen is a well-wisher, and anxious as we are for the prosperity of Shrewsbury schools; and this disposes at once of any intention on our part to do those schools an injury by misrepresenting the statements of Dr. Kennedy. We fear that the present gratulation to Dr. Kennedy is too much attributable to political party-spirit—perhaps not in him, but certainly in others. His illustrious predecessor, _during thirty-eight of patient mental labour, cultivated many scholars in Shrewsbury, and innumerable others who are now scattered over the globe. Did the Tory Corporation, or the inhabitants of Shrewsbury, ever address Dr. Butler during thirty-eight years? Never.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The season at this house, in its full operatic amplitude, may be said to have commenced on Saturday night. 'I he operas Norma and Lucia di Lammermoor were both performed, with the interlude of a divertissement, which might, in every respect, be considered a very simple dessert to two such courses. The house was crowded. 1u Norma Lablache and Grisi made their appearance, and were welcomed with a warm salute from all parts of the house. They looked in excellent health, and were both in finest voice. Grisi never played or sang in the Norma better—we should almost venture to affirm, so well. From the impassioned and most expressive aria, " Ah, bello a me ritorne," after " Casta Diva," down to the conclude ing bar of the final trio, she sustained the extreme and varying emotions of the part with power and pathos quite unrelaxed, with, perhaps. some slight exception at the open ing of the second act, where Norma is agonized with the conception of destroying her children. In the preceding scene with Pollio and Adalgisa , h er personation of the young priestess, when maddened by th e abrupt revelation of " the worst of woes that wait on " lo ve was admirably real in its lofty energy of expression, with, however, it must be said, those few violent,angular movements of the arm at the passages of highest passion which seem but tuo like the undignified indica tions of extravagant petulance. It is greatly to be regretted that a blemish of this kind, so easily to be corrected, should continue to injure the effect of a piece of acting, in all other respects SJ sympathetic with • a high ideal. The last and most touchiug scenes of the opera, that with Polo, and the suc ceeding intercession of Norma with the chief druid, her father, for her children, were given by Aladame Grisi in th e most delicate spirit of tragedy. Signor Mario's Pollio responded well to such a Norma. He went through the part with great animation, a graceful energetic action, an d a n i ce sense of the quiet expression of by-play. His singing was also very successful; his tone sweet and sound ; his style finished and masterly. His duet with Madame Grisi, Si, fino all' ore estreme," was amongst the most choice . portions of the whole pe r f ormance . Th e par t o f Adalgisa was supported by a new vocalist in this company, Ma demoiselle Granchi, an artiste of merit and prepossessing man. nor. Lablache was all hi s grea t se lf, i n l oo k, man n er, and voice. In the arrangements for this opera it is singular that so gross an absurdity as that of marshalling a band in Roman cos tume, with trumpets, French horns, &c., in scenes of druidism in Gaul, should be continued with unvarying constancy. The divertissement on Saturday night was but a series of evolutions of the corps de ballet, with a pas de trois, in which Mademoiselle Stephan displayed that superior skill and taste in her art which have already placed her above the class of mere danseuses. The house manifested some symptoms of im patience at this entertainment. It was quickly f. Rowed by Lucia di Lammermoor, in which Tamburini and Rubini made their appearance, and were warmly received. Both were in ex cellent condition for the performance of their parts, and the opera was executed with as much spirit as on any former occasion. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FRom OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ) Some insane admirer of the Medina bubbles has in a country paper dared, after a fortnight's consideration, to assert that the statement made in The Sun, " that the Bill will be opposed by Mr: : ,Ward, the College of Winchester, Mr. Way, and many other influential gentlemen," is false. Had he left off here some poor deluded dupes might have been induced to believe him, but he goes on, and gets worse, until, as might be ex pected, he beats himself ; be laments that those parties should oppose his darling Bill, but considers they are the mere dupes of others (likely persons truly); that they certainly ought to allow their property to be taken from them rather than oppos e this fine project. He says "We trot they will listen to rea son," and • that their opposition will be fruitless there ca n b e no doubt." So this false statement is indeed a fact, but one of those facts which the pub lic g enerally ought not to be made ' acquainted with • b u t The Sun ha s ex p o sed it ; it is now not only known that th e Bill is opposed , but by whom, and why.

Captain John Prissick, formerly Admiral of the Egyptian feet of Mehemet Ali, died yesterday at Schaerbick, at the age of forty-nine years.

It is thought the whole line to Elberfeld will be opea in a few weeks." CO RRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MEHEMET ALI AND THE MERCHANTS OF LIVERPOOL. We publish the following Correspondence which has re cently taken place between the Pacha of Egypt and the merchants of Liverpool, originated by the latter in recogni tion of the protection afforded by Mehemet Ali to British re sidents anti travellers in Egypt, and particularly at sthe time when a suspension of amicable intercourse between the Pacha and this country had virtually taken place. The address of the Liverpool merchants is every way worthy of their high re putation, and the reply of Mehemet Ali affords another in dication of his liberality of feeling and generosity of character:— " TO HIS HIGHNESS THE PACHA OF EGYPT. We,. the undersigned Merchants, Bankers, and other in habitants of the town of Liverpool, beg to convey .to }our Highness our admiration and grateful thanks for the uniform protection and kindness manifested by your Highness towards our countrymen for many years past, when travelling through or sojourning in the extensive countries under your rule, and which protection has not been less efficacious than universal. " These sentiments have been still further enhanced by your Highness's conduct on a recent occasion, when, with that consideration for the welfare of the mercantile interest and the benefit of travellers,, and with a. magnanimity worthy of the most enlightened policy, your Highness was pleased to allow the free transit of mails wilt passengers through your country which under circumstances whitantrally dissever the ties binding mankind together friendlyiniereourse, affording thereby a rare exception in such cases to the general rule, a brillant ex ample to other potentates, and justly deserving, in our estinia tion, the thanks of the whole civlised world.

" Mercantile interests and travellers in the countries under the rule of his Highness will always enjoy that effectual pro tection which is the type of civilisation in all nations—and in strictly adhering to his system of civilisation even in periods of the greatest difficulty, when his intentions were unknown, his Highness has been faithful to his principles, and has given to his officers and to the people under his government a lesson that will bind them always in more friendly ties to the enlightened people of other nations, for their mutual welfare.

ODESSA, MARCH 24.—1 t seems to he the intention of Russia to employ this year a very considerable force against the Cir cassian mountaineers. The division of infantry stationed at Taganrog (belonging to the sth corps of the army) is already gone to Georgia. The 11th division stationed on the other side of the Dniester has also received orders to be in readiness to march, having been already raised to its full comjsliment. The twelvfih divisions remain for the present in Besssarabia , but is recruiting with great activity, and seems only to waitiill it is complete. The troops in Georgia are, it is true, greatly reduced by typhus, and other epidemic dis orders, but the six divisions, consisting of 72,000 men, which are advancing, united with the troops in Georgia, may certainly operate very decidedly on the offensive, unless hin dered by want of provisions, which is much felt in these pro vinces, chiefly in consequence of the severe winter.

SIA,—Mr. Canning met one of Lord Sheffield's pamphlets in the library of some country friend. The tract is stated to have begun with a sentence like the following :—" There can be no doubt that, under a due system of protection, the grOwth of British' wools might be greatly increased, and that. our domestic wools might eventually be enabled to stand the competition. of the wools of the Continent.' The dity being gloomy, and the society not brilliant, the witty Statesman changed every \V into an F, and in this new shape he left the Essay for the amusement and instruction of the neighbourhood. The leading principle of Lord Sheffield's school is a denial of the benefits of cheapness. They maintain that it may be wise and expedient to pay dear for a bad article whilst a good one may be produced at a lower cost. If, for dear and cheap, we su'ustitute the almost convertible terms scarce and abun dant, the pestilent nature of this heresy is manifest. See an admirable article on this subject in the Edinburgh.

LivErtroot, SUNDAY NIGIIT.—We regret again to be un able to give you any satisfactory intelligence of this vessel, now thirty-eight days at sea. A great. many ships from the westward have reached our port since the last post for London, none of which, however, bring any intelligence of the Presi dent. Amongst the number is the Maria, Collins, from St. Michael's, who reports that nothing was known of her at Ter ceira on the 27th, at Fayal on the 28th of March, or at St. Michael's on the 2d inst. The probability, therefore, of her being at the Western Llands is much diminished by this arrival. (From the Liverpool Albion of yesterday.) We lament to say that no intelligence has yet been received of this unfortunate vessel. The arrival of the Royal mail steamer Caledonia, on Thursday' morning,. from Boston and Halifax, dissipated the hopes which Lad hem previously entertained, that she would bring news of the missing ship having put in to some Nova Scotian or United States port. Neither at Halifax on the 4th instant nor at New York on the 31st ult. had any tidings been heard of her; and the friends of the passengers on board were in happy ignorance that any misfortune had befallen her. From the in terval which had elapsed between her sailing from New York and the date of the advices from that port by the Caledonia, twenty days, it is evident, that, if she survived the effects of the storm on the It.lth and the 13th ult., she must have made for some southern port. At first, the opinion was, that she would make for the Western Isles ; but, if she had, sufficient time has, it is supposed, elapsed for news of her arrival at Fayal reaching England. The first she n" • o has, therefore , been abandoned for a second, which l e ear she mu s t h ave sustained),make epini gale (and damage of some kind that she would , after re p airi ng the damdamagedamage . 07; tiatinisedquinitetch for Bermuda. Now , the latest advices received, or ra have e t other sustained United States, from that island were of the 0 0th ult. ; so that a sufficient time had not elapsed then for her arrival at Bermuda, even should the conjecture turn out correct, that she made for that port Mier the storm. Captain Favrer,commanded the President on , who her first voyage, hazards in a letter to a friend in Li verpool, dated on the 17th inst., the following conjec tures respecting the probable c ourse Captain in Roberts wou',d follow under the circ umstances supposed tha letter. The gallant Captain takes, it will be seen, a consolatory view of a very distressing- occurrence : "No President )et ! Rather a wkward ! If she lost. her rudder, which I think most probable, on the Bank of Newfoundland, in lat. 45 N., and long. 50 W., she would be distant from Bermuda about 1,000 m il e ,. Tile gale at N.W. or W. would prevent the possibility o f to New Yor k or Halifax. Bermuda woad getting either be the place ; if so, I would give her three days after the gale to fit a temp orar y rudder. Havin g saile d on the 11th, she would be in the position above in so that, with the three days fitting five or six days ; a rudder, Sc., • s h e would be on th e B an k still on the e ighth day, or the 19th of March. Then Captain Roberts would run d own to the l a titude and the longitude below 50 and 53 W., till in t h e parallel of Bermuda , so as to be in the eddy, east of the Gul f Stream, then hard up west fo r B ermu dpNow as a crippled ship, and, in those latitudes, particularly a(t-r a gale, calms are common, so give him, from the 19th, fourteen days to get to Bermuda. This would be the •2.d or 3d of April. Say they get in on the 3d, I give Lord Lennox and Power two days to get ready a schooner, five days to Philadelphia, three days to Halifax ; ten days would make it the 13th of 14th of April before they could be heard cf from Bermuda, according to my notion even if she could be at Bermuda from the Bank in the time I allow. They may have been seen by many vessel s , but I have had too much es:perience in the inattention of small craft on the coast 'at America ; they care for nothing but themselves. I give till the 25th o f this month to hear from Bermuda-, unless some v esse l is dispatched by the Government of that island, as the mail packet c alling is very uncerta in.
