The dis tinguishing excellence of this instrument is, that it has no drawback, viz. :—no alteration of the Lamp, no excessive heat, no breakage of chimney glasses, nor stoppage of the lamp tubes by coagulation of the oil ; in fact, nothing more is required than that the Oxydator should fit the lamp burner, to obtain a bril innoxious, and powerful flame. As a lamp is kept burn ing for the free inspection of the public, those who value an invention for its real worth to the community will be much vatified in seeing a scientific and chymical principle of the highest order carried into general usefulness by means at once simple and effective.—The Trade supplied.—Agents wanted.

PROPRIETOR of a LARGE SEC TION of LAND in VICTORIA PROVINCE, CENTRAL AMERICA (and whose intention is to proceed there as soon as a sufficient number of Emigrants are obtained to enable him to charter a ship) is desirous of forming a small community of respectable farmers and mechanics (good neigh bours being the principle desideratum in that beautiful country.) Any person possessing 1011. has now the oppor tunity of making himself comfortable for life, as the price of land is only 6s. per acre, in lots of not less than 100 acres. The Laiid-scrips being transferable, any person wishing to exchange Goods suitable for exportation ( for land) can be accom modated. He offers himself also as agent to merchants wishing to consign goods to the colony, and to take possession of lands for persons not yet ready to go. The early settler has many advantages in this country—first ha has the choice of locating himself in the best parts of the colony—secondly, as soon as the country ge's known, the price of the land will be considerably higher, and the best situations will then perhaps have been taken by speculators who will have their own price for it. For Maps and further Particulars apply, if by letter pre-paid, to Mr. Shaw, 20, Throgmorton-street, London. A SYLUAT for WORTHY AGED and DECAYED FREEMASNS.

In this case the bankrupt, who is described as a tea merchant, if Arms-yard, and is I..tioooti to have deeply speculated in teas, has absconded from his ere ditoN, and the sitting to-day was for the auditing. of the accounts and the declaration of a dividend, which de claration was not, however, made, as the funds at pre sent in hand are not sufficient to divide among those who have proved debts. Among the proofs was one, the subject of which was brought before the Court by ➢lr. Bowley, the party in terested, in person. It appears that he had a great num ber of transactions with the bankrupt in respect to tea speculations, and had a running account, the settle ment of which would, it was admitted, show, no doubt, some balance proveable against the estate. In this case arose a point upon which the official assignee wished the decisiode the Court, as did also Mr. Bowley, before the accounts were gone into, The affair was this— Bowley purchased on account of Hetherington a number of chests of tea, which were to be delivered on a certain day, but in the meantime Hetherington absconded. Bowley, then having no opinion of the stability of the market, and fearing that if he 'did not sell he would in cur a great loss, sold the teas a few days before the con tract expired, at a depreciation compared with the con tract price, charging the bankrupt's account with the loss. A day or two before the contract expired the market rallied, anti so brisk was business, that prices again suddenly advanced, and considerably above the contract price. The assignees claimed to take this profit as - a set-off against Mr. Bowley's accounts, instead of i3l44oe,iDgAbe_ transaction with a loss. • - Mr. Commissioner EVAYS said, whatever might have been Mr. Bowley's opinion, he had no legal right to sell before the expiration of the contract, or at least without the. consent of the creditors. However 'unfortunate it, might be for Mr. Bowley, and it appeared to be so, con sidering his position, the law was such, and he must abide the result. In answer to a question from the Court, it was state( that it was not likely that Hetherington would ever sur render. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' _COURT, Oct. 5. LADY HYDE PARKER'S CASE. The Insolvent, who has been already frequently before the Court, applied to be discharged. The present debts amounted to 1,6001. Mr. Cresswell opposed her application, on behalf of a creditor of the name of Clifford (a butcher), on the ground of her having vexatiously defended an action on a Bill of Exchange, in which a verdict was twice given against her. On the first trial she denied her signature to the bill, which she afterwards admitted. Mr. Cooke (who, with Mr. Woodroffe, supported the petition) said that the insolvent had moved in a superior sphere in life, being the wife of an Admiral, who, when he died, left - her a handsome house in Cumberland-place, well furnished, and a retinue of servants, with a splen did fortune of 33,000/., which she had lost by being security for others. Her family were of the first respect ability, and he hoped the Court would not feel it a case to visit her with imprisonment when the case was ripe for adjudication, which it was not at present, there being a creditor to serve. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said no judgment could be pronounced at present, on account or this de fect, but added, he might at once say what his impres sion was of this case. He lamented deeply that lie should be obliged to give an adverse judgment, espe cially as the insolvent was a female, a lady by title, but he sat there to administer justice between all her Majes ty's subjects, be they rich or poor, and to see that the scales were equally poised. Without giving his opinion at present respecting the defence to the action brought by Mr. Clifford, he would say that enough had Lawn shown on the face of the schedule to remand the insol vent for some time when she appeared for judgment. Her Lad) ship was conducted in a carriage to the Queen's Bench Prison, in company with the officers of Justice. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Sir P. LAURIE said that he had, in looking over the communications to the Lord Mayor, laid his h an d u p on a letter, whi c h h e was g i ven to understand contained a true detail of melancholy facts, without any flourish to excite the sympathies of the public. He thought there might be some who knew the writer in the days of his prosperity, and would feel pleasure in rendering him some assistance in his present adverse condition. The letter was as follows : ".may rlease your Lordship—=Allow me, in - the most respectful ma nner , to request your Lordship's at tention to the following detaii, the principal recommen dation to your Lordship's favourable reception of which is truth. "In the year 1804 I rented certain premises, No. 56, Wood-street, Cheapside, of Messrs. Samuel and John Painter, of Coleman-street, at the yearly rent of 801. and also paid 380/ fd`the lease of the premises. "In the autumn of that year I consigned goods to Messrs. Kilpatrick and Brothers, of Haniburgh, to the amount of 8,6004, the whole of which was taken pos session of by Marshal l)avoust, when he entered Ham burgh by the orders of Bonaparte, and confiscated the property of all the English merchants trading to that city. " Thu consequence was that myself and a number of other individuals were ruined. I became a bankrupt, and have never yet been able to retrieve so great a loss. I have for a length of time endeavoured to support my self and family by the sale of various articles of haber dashery to the small shopkeepers in the metropolis and its vicinity, but the state of trade has been so bad for a great length of time that I have scarcely been able to procure for my family even a scanty portion of the ne cessaries of life. " The most melancholy part of my narrative is, that my wife, in consequence of her intense anxiety for the welfare of her children, and a dread that they would be driven to a state of absolute want, has been for three years an inmate of a lunatic asylum at Bethnal-green, and my four young children have been deprived of the care and attention of a mother. " The principal object in my addressing your Lordship is most humbly to solicit your Lord‘zhip's humane inter ference with the Guardians and parish officers of St. Alphage, where in my prosperity I gained a legal set tlement, to get one of my boys, who is a cripple, into the school at Norwood, where he will not only be taken care of, but I should be relieved from deep anxiety from my present inability to procure him those comforts of which he stands so much in need. Two others of my boys rmight be able to procure situations for, or bind apprentice to some trade, providing I could procure a little decent clothing for them, which they are at present so deplorably in want of. " The gentlemen who have kindly consented to affix their signatures underneath, are intimately acquainted with the truth of the above statement. " I beg to subscribe myself, your Lordship's most obedient and humble servant, " JAMES THOMPSON IRVINE. " Hall, English, and Gutch, 50, King William-street, London-bridge. " Brooks and Wightwick, 106, Ifigh 'k, Southwark." Sir P. LAURIE trusted, at all events, that the Guar dians and parochial officers of St. Alphage would render the modicum of assistance required of them fur the poor child, particularly as the father was doing all he could to avoid the alternative of the workhouse as a refuge for his family. CROYDON POLICE. A man named George Barber, a labourer at Warlily... ham, was y es t er d ay b roug h t b efore Messrs. Adams and Sutherland charged with trespassing upon the Brighton Railway, and from the evidence adduced it appeared to be almost a miracle that the prisoner had not only lost his own life, but that another serious accident did not take place. • From the statement of the witnesses it appeared that on, Monday evening about dusk a down train was pro ceeding along the line at Purley, when the engineer ob served the defendant lying completely across the oppo site line of rails. At this time an up train was ex pected momentarily to arrive at the spot, and the down train slackened the speed and proceeded to meet the other, to which it reported the circumstance, and the train went at a slow pace till it arrived at the spot where the defendant was still lying across the rails, and it was found necessary to stop it, and the guard and some other persons got down and dragged the defendant off the lino, and placed hint in one of the carriages, and, on its arrival at the station, he was g i ven i n t o custody. At this time the defendant ap peared to be very drunk, and he had not any idea of the danger he had escaped ; but had the up-train arrived before the other at the spot where he was lying, he must, frOM the position in which he had placed himself, completely across the rails, have been crushed to atoms. Mr. ADAMS, when the above facts had been deposed to, asked the defendant what answer he had to make to the charge ? lie replied, that he had been to Croydon Fair, and had got very drunk, and he could not tell how he came to be upon the railway. The MAGISTaITES said that the accidents that had already taken place on railways were quite sufficiently alarming, without having them increased by such gross misconduct and negligence as that of which the defend ant had been guilty, and they felt it to be their duty to the public to pass such a sentence as would deter others from acting in a similar manner. They then ordered the defendant to pay a fine of five pounds, or to be im prisoned for two months. PARTNERSHIPS DISROLVED. J. J.

Fellow-Con n t ryirien—The recent uncontradicted state ment of the Duke of Richmond, that he was Cabinet maker in Ordinary to the Queen—that the House of Commons was hut the upper servants' second table of the Peerage—that what are facetiously called the Repro sentatives of the p eo pl e are on l y the Duke of Bucking hales "gentlemen's gentlemen," and that the glorious majority of ninety-one" are the mere nominees of the aristo,Tacy—has induced you to "fly from petty tyrants to the Throne." Remembctin g that when th e factionwhich now h o ld s t h e re i ns of - government was formerly in office it systematically suppressed at the Home-office all addresses from the people to the Monarch which com plained of its corruption ; you would not let " the ser pent sting thee twice," and most properly and reasonably solicited those independent and patriotic noblemen, the Earl of Radnor and Lord Kinnaird, to use their privilege of Peerage as a direct means of laying before her Majesty your petitions at a personal audience. Thei- Lordships most promptly and cordially responded to your call, and the result is embodied in the subjoined correspondence. At the issue we have no reasonable ground to be disappointed. So long as " her heart was mistress of itself," her Majesty nobly stood by her sub jects. By our ov,vn supineness, and the corruption and cowardice of the constituency, her Majesty has been " delivered bound" into the hands ) your enemies, and must passively obey the harsh voice of the wicked ma gician, until her people have the courage and the energy to batter down the gates of his stronghold and emanci-' pate her from the spell of his enchantment. It is by the " persuasive force," which, in court language, is , called " advice" of her Majesty's temporary advisers, and on their exclusive responsibility, that a precedent has been established for invading alike the preroga tive of the Monarch and the constitutional privilege of the_ people of immediate mutual communication. ' The justification which has been atteriipted fur that advice,. that it has been given to protect her Majesty from inconvenience and annoyance, is only an aggrava tion of the original offence. It is less inconvenient for her Majesty 'to see the Earl of Radnor or Lord Kin naird, than to be inflicted with the odious presence of that " rat behind the .arras," who, in the capacity of Home Secretary, charges himself with the duty of pre senting your petitions to the Queen ; and I am certain that it is less annoying to her Majesty to receive the ad dresses of her people, than to he compelled to assist at the adjustment of a speeCh in which she is made to say what she cannot think. It is, however, a course nut less constitutional than wise for her Majesty to deprive the faction by which she is encompassed of all excuse fur attributing their certain ultimate - discomfiture to any act of the monarchy. During the short period they have been. already permitted to go at large, they have at tempted their own lives so often as to show that it is by suicide they are ultimately to fall. It is by restraint alone that their existence can be prolonged. Give them rope enough, and—but the proverb is somewhat musty. I remain, fellow countrymen, Your faithful friend and servant, SIDNEY SMITH. CORRESPONDENCE. No. 1. " 23 A, Brook-street, Sept 29, 1841. " Sir—l am quite ready to ask for an audience of her Majesty, and shall have much pleasure in presenting the addresses you mention, as I most cordially agree with the prayer of them. I am now living in town, and tun at home every morning till one o'clock.—Your obedient servant, " KINNAIRD. " Sidney Smith, Esq., Secretary to the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association. No. 2. "23 A, Brook-street, Saturday Night. " Sir—l send you the enclosed, which I have just re ieived from the Lord in Waiting, in answer to my letter. Though I regret her Majesty's determination, which, of course, is come to by the advice of her Ministers, yet I may mention that I am certain that all the petitions will be laid before her Majesty by the Secretary of State. Of the conduct of Ministers in proroguing Parliament at this moment, it is impossible to speak in terms too se vere. It is, indeed, adding insult to injury, and most awful is the responsibility which they incur. From my own personal knowledge, I can state that they have been warned by one who is no partizan, but has the best means of knowing of the consequences which are to be dreaded from the course they are taking. " My belief, however is, that though we cannot. hope that Sir Robert Peel will bring forward the repeal of the present Corn-laws, yet he will be the means of their being repealed. It is satisfactory to find, from all ac counts, that he has done more towards it by hiS conduct in Parliament during the last three weeks than all the previous agitation on the subject.

Sm—With much reluctance, and after great hesita tion, I have been induced by certain circumstances *which have come to my knowledge, to give up my intention ~f asking for an audience of her Majesty, and of delivering to her Majesty in person the petitions which you for warded to me. But I have myself delivered them, with 18 others, to Sir James Graham, the Secretary of State for the Home Department ; and ho voluntarily under took to present them to the Queen before the final deter mination for the prorogation should take place ; to state to her Majesty the prayer of them, together with the number of signatures appended to each ; and, in those cases where, having been voted at a public meeting, they were signed only by the Chairman, to draw'her Ma jesty's attention to that particular. Under these circum stances, I trust the petitioners will not be disappointed that I have thought it right not to persevere in request ing a perso.ial interview with her Majesty.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.e, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruso 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 befor 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 b oo k ent i tled " Manhood, " has really astonished us by developing aseries of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between th e ass i gned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity.

NATICNAL ASSOCIATION. London, Oct. 4, 1841. SIR-By inserting the enclosed resolutions in your extensively-read paper you will reatly oblige the mem bers of the National Association. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, HENRY HETHERINGTON. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, FOR PROMOTING THE POLL. TICAL AND SOCIAL IMPROVEMENT OF THE PEOPLE On Thursday evening last an adjourned meeting of the London members of the above Association and friends was held at the Globe Coffee House, Shoe-lane, for the purpose of discussing the rules and objects pre vious to their publication. The meeting on the previ ous week was held at Holborn Chapel, and was ad journed to that place ; but, owing to some misunder standing with the proprietor, it was held at the Globe. The room was consequently crowded to excess, and numbers could not Gbtain admittance. Mr. Neesom was called to the Chair, and after a very animated and talented discussion, in which Mr. Urns, Dr. Hale, Messrs. Watson, Morden, Hetherington, Moore, Cul verhouse, Mitchell, and Lovett took part, the following resolutions were agreed to : I. That this meeting, approving of the general ob jects of the National Association for kromoting the Political and Social Improvement of eit People, will, individually and collectively, by every means in their power, seek to render those objects of practical effect. 11. That many of our brethren, being incompetent to pay the sum of one shilling per quarter to the gene ral fund, in addition to such local expenses as may be necessary for their places of meeting, and for otherwise promoting the general objects in their several localities, it is resolved that the general subscription be sixpence a quarter, the samo to be collected in any way the members of the respective localities may devise, but paid in to the general Treasurer every six months, pre vious to the new cards being issued. 111. That whatever other Association our members may belong to, or whatever local name they may as sume, it is resolved that, in all communications we may have with them, we recognise them only as individual members of the National Association. IV. That men and women of all creeds, classes, and opinions be invited to join us, and to assist us with do nations of books, money, or talent ; so that the esta b'ishing o f l i b rar i es , t h e f orm i ng o f sc h oo l s , an d t he building of halls, may be carried on as speedily mid efli^iently as possible. V. That it be a recommendation to the members i n l f the N a ti ona l A ssoc i at i on to ma k e p rov i s ion as s pee di ly as possible by which the members may m ca rrying out the general' objects in their respecttrolo caliti es. Rather serious disturbances took place on the 20th inst. at Sommesuipe, in the Marne. Several mem bers of the Municipal Council, after formally declaring they would never acknowledge the authority of the newly-appointed Mayor, treated him with outrageous language in full assembly. A body of' the inhabitants, also adverse so their new Magistrate, forced their way into the Council-room, and beat him till ho was covered with contusions. The Prefect, the Procureur du I►oi, and examining Magistrate, hastened from Sainte Mene houlde to the spot with a party of gendarmerie, and after much difficulty arrested the principal actors in the riot, and restored order. -4s '~ 4 ~ ^ r_ MR. WALLACE OF KELLY. (From the Aberdeen Herald.) On Thursday afternoon the Freedom of the City was presented by the Provost, Magistrates, and Council, to Robert Wallace, Esq., of Kelly, the Member of Parlia ment for Greenock. The ceremony took place, at two o'clock, in the Town- hall, where a splendid dessert of fruits, &c., was laid out in the most tasteful style. About 170 gentlemen were present. The Provost was in the Chair ; and the Dean of Guild and Mr. Haddon acted as Croupiers. After the usual loyal toasts, The PROVOST said—Mr. Wallace, in accordance with the unanimous resolution of the Magistrates and Town Council of Aberdeen, I have the honour to present to you the Freedom of this ancient City, in testimony of the high respect they entertain for your valuable public ser vices in promoting the recent improvements in the Post office depar ment of the .kingdom.—(Cheers.) The country owes a large debt of gratitude to the talented in dividual who originated and reduced to practice the grand idea of one uniform and cheap rate of postage, and to Rowland Hill is the just and willing tribute uni versally paid. But to your zeal and perseverance, in successfully advocating the principles of the measure, in fearlessly combating existing prejudices, and to your un wearied exertions generally in the good cause, both if: your place in Parliament, as well as on all other fitting occasions, are we indebted for the speedy adoption of the great practical boon of Penny Postage, with all its at tendant advantages, which we now so fully enjoy.— (Cheers.) Allow me now to congratulate you on be coming a freeman of Aberdeen, and to express the sin cere hope that you will long be spared to your family and to your country. Mr. WALLACE said—l beg to assure you that your kindness, in conferring on me this unexpected mark of your, esteem, th e F ree d om o f your anc i ent and beautiful City, is an honour of which I feel so proud, that I fear I shall not be able to express sufficiently the pleasure that it affords me. But I will not conceal the still greater pride and pleasure which this occasion conveys, as an expression of this great community in favour of that national boon, the Penny Postage, which I humbly con ceive to be, in every respect, the greatest practical mea sure which has been conferred on this country in our time.—(Cheers.) The obtaining of this measure was beset with difficulties from the first, and you, Sir, have most judiciously pointed to that distinguished individual, Lord Lowther, who is now Postmaster-Genera], and who I am proud to call my friend and coadjutor in Post-office Reform, whose labours contributed greatly, as a member of my Committee, in obtaining the Penny Postage Act. And it should not be concealed that we have still difficulties to combat, in the shape of preju dices, 'and the financial fears of - those who are now placed at the helm of affairs. When I moved for a Committee to inquire into Mr. Rowland Hill's proposal of Penny Postage, I had to get over the ru'e of placing an official man only as Chairman when the finances of the country had to be dealt with. I felt the .respousibility of this situation, and therefore selected the most able men from both sides of the House to be members in that inquiry, which happily resulted in passing the Act. In that Committee, Lord Lowther bore a distinguished part, and I am glad of this opportunity of stating how much the country is indebted to Lord Lowther, as an able man of business and inquirer into Post-office abuses, and for the practi cal knowledge which he has so long exhibited in the improvement of that ill-guided department. When the first division was taken in the Committee respecting Penny Postage, there were five to three against it, of which majority Lord Lowther was one.; but, after a se cond discussion respecting a uniform twopenny rate, his Lordship came over to the minority, making four on each side, and left the humble individual who now addresses OU to give his casting vote in favour of the adoption of that great measure.—(Cheers.) The whole of the high Post office officials were against us; and we had many preju dices to overcome, of parties who looked upon the step as likely to be permanently injurious to the public reve nue. Still, with the help of the parties to whom I have referred, we were able to accomplish that great measure, and obtain many other improvements that were loudly called for in the old Sir Francis Freeling system. With your leave, I shall refer to a few of these.—(Cheers.) The first was a most abominable practice, that prevailed to an enormous extent, of opening letters, not only in London, but at the various post-offices throughout the country, on the pretext of discovering whether they had been legally posted, and the consequence was inevitably to lead to disclosures of private affairs of the most deli cate and embarrassing nature—a system of disclosure alike disgraceful to a great and a free country, and to a department which ought to be regarded as worthy of the most unbounded Confidence. One single return of the letters opened at various places was sufficient to put an end for ever to the system, and to scare away the hungry cormorants who had been feeding upon that department. —(Cheers.) The next thing I shall notice is an improve ment that .was effected in the mail-coaches. I found that, in Scotland and Ireland, and the provinces of Eng.. land, they were old, lumbering, insufficient, and uncom fortable machines that had been cast off in roads near the metropolis, where it was deemed necessary to keep up some show of fitness. These cast-off coaches, too, were supplied by the contractor in London,at an enormous expense to the Government—so much so, that when a new arrangement was made, the monopoly was broken in upon by contractors throughout the country, of whom there were two in Scotland—one in Perth and one in. Edinburgh ; and when those elegant, handsome, com modious, and comfortable vehicles which you now all enjoy were substituted for the old vehicles, that were unfit for a lady or gentleman to travel in, there was ac tually a saving to the Government of more than 17,0001. a-year, besides 2,0001. snore that I found under a very curious title—for " oiling. "—(Cheers and laughter.) It is quite wonderful how the Penny Postage has wrought already, although it has not had all the advantages which the Committee bargained for. It has been ru moured, but I am exceedingly unwilling to believe it, that some attempt is to be made to raise the postage. It must not be overlooked, however, that many of the Post-office officials would not be averse to such a change. You all recollect that, before the Penny Postage came into operation, a fourpenny rate was established, and under the influence of novelty, and the pleasure the public took in any reduction whatever, a great increase in the number of letters actually took place. I hesi tate not to say, and I never thought otherwise, that the adoption of this fourpenny rate was a trick intended to throw disparagement on the penny rate, and provide something that would look like evidence that, at some future period, under an increased rate, the addition to the correspondence would be sufficiently large. But I trust, under the protection of Lord Lowther, the ene mies of the Penny Postage, if any such there be in in fluential quarters, will be prevented from tampering with the great measure we have obtained—(Cheers)— a mea sure that, in a commercial, social, moral, educational, and religious point of view, has done more good, and will be the instrument of more good, than any other alleviation of the people's burdens that could be proposed. After a number of other toasts, followed by speeches, the meeting separated. INFLUENCE OF COLD ON LONGEVITY.-- Cold climates appear to be favourable to longevity. In Norway, of 6,927 who were buried in 1761, 63 had lived to the age of 100 ; and in Russia, out of 726,278 souls who died in 1801, 218 were 100 years of age, and 220 above it, of whom four are said to have been above 130 years old. In the diocese of Aggherus, in Norway, there existed, in the year 1763, 151 couples who had lived together upwards of 80 years. Excessive cold, however, is prejudicial to long lite : in Iceland and Si beria men attain at the utmost to the ages only of 60 or 70. Temperate climates are, however, most conducive to health and long life. There the human frame is more complete, the body more vigorous, the mind best formed, the passions best regulated, and man in every respect reaches, when well governed, the highest amount of per fection.
