DEFERRED ANNUITIES. Beware of Imitations in the form of" Pills." By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to DEFERRED ANNUITIE, By the operation of the same principles, the ,etety is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource daring sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. .KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES.- .. A certain remedy for disorders of the Pulmonary Organs— in Difficulty of Breathing—in Redundancy. of Phlegm—in Incipient Consumption (of which Cough is the most positive indication) they are of unerring efficacy. In Asthma and in Winter Cough they hare never been known to fall. KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES are free from every deleterious ingredient; they may, therefore, be taken at all times by the most delicate female and by the youngest child ; while the Public Speaker and the Professional Singer will Ilnrl them invaluable in allaying the hoarseness and irritation incl.' dental to vocal exertion, and consequently a powerful auxiliary in the proiaction of melodious enunciation.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other :nppocag them married, (inestimably contented. Diffidence, or a I sense of tight determine the ibrmer, and miscalculated hopes em a ttar the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un 3ornr,rosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness ;Jai social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and Justice demand that health shouldform an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Furthermore, two other Attie publicrtior.s claim your attention (same price Is. each, by 7 cat Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avsid," and " How to be Happy."

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN I very often think upon The expedition of Sir John ; And oft my heart exclaims aleck, I wish friend Frank were safely back. I greatly pity his condition In this protracted expedition. How very cold Sir John must feel, His ♦ery life-blood must congeal. I really hope that poor Sir John Has one of Moses' Wrapper& on, Like what I bought the other day, For very, very little pay. I'll warrant that the wind and snow, However they might fall and blow, Would find a formidable foe In such a famous Paletot, As that obtained, so very low, At Moses' out-and-out Depot. Sir John with such a coat, I know, Would feel his body is a glow ; And I, of course, shall find it so. Much, much to Moses' Mart I owe, And therefore will I often go To purchase at their famed Depot.

THE MINX STEAM-VESSEL.---In an amplified Wool ' wich report of anoth er t r i a l o f the Minx, with th e 10- horse high pr essure di sc eng i ne, w h en she is said to have made 4,659 knots, we find the foll ow i ng : " The Minx is a vesse l of 301 tons, originally built from a desi g n by C a pt a i n Sir William Symonds f o r engines of 100-hors e p ower , t en ti mes t h e h orse power of the di sc eng i ne c f Bishop ' s patent tried to slay." It is du e t o t h e ex-Surveyorof the Navy to s t a t e. th a t th e Minx w as not d es i gned by bi:n, liut like the n o t or i ous half-d ozen b atch —the Harpy,Lzsrd, Torch, Myr midon, Bloodhound, and Jackal —most of which are now for sale ; like the Antelope, Oberon, and Triton, built for the lonian Government, but repudiated by them on account of their inferiority —th e Minx was designed by Mr. John Edye, the sole professional ad viser of the late Suraeyor of the Navy, and the first Resistant to the present Surveyor ofthe Navy. The Fairy royal yacht, Mare and Co. (then Ditchburn and Mare), having p'eased Sir G. Cockburn both in respect of. her lines and speed, the "deputy surveyor" was foolishly permitted (notwithstanding the failure of the " half dozen") to, try his hand at a couple of screw steamers to possess, as gun-vessels,. something approximating to the qualiti es o f the Fairy. The result was, that the Tenzer and Minx were con structed, the one of wood and the other of it n, with engines of 100-horse power in each : they were launched about three years since and tried, when, in consequence of the usual gross errors in calculation, the vessels were so deep that one (Teazel.) attained a ' rate of speed averaging about 61 knots, and the other (Minx) averaged about a knot faster. This would not do, and it was determined that the en gines should be taken out and others of lesser weights should be substitutei. Accordingly 50- horse engines replaced the 100 in the Tenzer, and she was sent to the coast of Africe, arid the Minx has been kept for various experiments in rudders and high-pressure engines. So thoroughly ashamed was Sir Charles Adam of these vessels, that be deter ii in d to stop the building of any more of them, and ordered the Boxer and Biter, which, as usual, had ben commenced before their "pattern" models had been trie.l to be taken off the stook; at Chatham, and not to he proceeded with. Sir William S ; monis has enouk to answer for with respect to the construes tion of bad , ship:. for the Royel navy, without burden ing his conscience with the worse blunders of his shipwright adviser • and it is only fair th a t h e s h ou ld be absolved from the public reproach that attaches to the Teazer and .Minx, and some score of failures from the 'Hermes, alias the Gulnare, down to those vessels. It sheuld be remarked that the pressure of the 10- horse engine was .55lbs. to the square inch ; with the ordinary mar . ne engines the pressure, most proba bly, did not exceed 7lbs. or albs.—lireralds PORTSMOUTU, TUESDAY. The Fairy Royal yacht, Commander Crispin, embarked their Royal Highnesses the Princess Royal sal Princess Alfred at 12 25 P.M. to-day, at the Clarence-varcl, and con veyed them, under the usual Royal &slates and cere monies, to Osborne, to join the Royal circle. The Constance, 50, Captain Courtenay, was towed out to Spitheed this morning by the tug, and sailed immediately for Devonport to be paid off. The freight ship IVaverley will leave Deptford on the 291 inst. for this port, to embark draughts of the 44th and 69th Regiments, from Cowes, for Malta. The freight ship Essex will embark draughts of the 16th, 36th, and 76th Regiments to morrow, at Cowes, for Corfu. ROYAL MARINES.

WOOLWICH, Nov. 27.—The Garland Dover mail steam-packet, 120-horse power, Lieutenant Com mander Benjamin Aplin, arrived at Woolwich yester day afternoon, and was taken into the basin to ba ready for being decked and refitted. The Violet Dover mail steam-packet, 120-horse power, Master-Commander Robert Sherlock, is ordered round to Woolwich on the Ist of December, t. have her defects made gool at this port. The Enterprise, Captain Sir James Ross, was paid off yesterday at the same time as the Investigator, Captain Bird, and one sergeant, one storroral, and six privates of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines from each of the vessels rejoined the Woolwich divi sion from service in the Arctic regions. The corporal of the Royal Marines on board the En terprise was promoted to sergeant on arriving at Woolwich. The Terrible steam frigate, Captain Hope, C. 8., was visited to-day b y her first - lieutenant, David Miller, and two sergeants, one corporal, one bomba dier, and 50 gunners of the Royal Marine Artillery, arrived at Woolwich barracks this afternoon, from Portsmouth, under the command of Lieutenant Thomas Quin Made, for service in the Terrible. The Vulcan steam•frigate was taken out of the basin to-day, and instead of waiting to be taken to Chatham by the navigators of the Horatio round to Woolwich, she is to leave this port to morrow at eight A.m., and will be towed by the Black Eagle, Master- Commander S. B. Cooke, and the Lightning, Master- Commander Petley, the parties to nav i gate h er b e i ng supplied from the Fisgard and Black Eagle. The keel of the Malacca, a s t eam -frigate, ordered to be built by Mr. Moultne•in in the East Indi es , was laid on September 13. Thelength of the keel is 187 feet, and the height of the. knight-heads on the stern from the under part of the main keel is to be 32 feet. Mr. Metrld has already supplied several vessels of very creditable workmanship of the best timber the country produces. THE ROYAL YACHT AND nen Com—Under this head we yesterday quoted a paragraph from the United Service Gazette, setting forth the enormous cost of her Majt sty's yacht, which is set doe n at " nearer 200,0001. thaa 100,000/.," and depr eca ti ng t h e expenditure of so much money upon a vessel which has done so little service as the Victoria and Albert for such outlay; showing also that the vessel is " ordered to be docked at Portsmouth to have an entire refit, and to have new boilers:planned for her," which " will be the third set of new boilers within five years." As such statements are naturally calculated to mislead the public, we are requested to contradict the statement as to cost, and to set forth the reason of the change of boilers, as three sets of boilers in five years bear the appearance either of gross extravagance or dangerous mismanagement. The first set of boilers, thee, supplied to the Victoria and Albert were what wero termed "flue" boilers. During the period comprised in the time of their being put in the vessel until she had run a season and WAS laid up for the next winter, "tubular" boilers had been invented, and the Admiralty, judging that a better speed could be got out of tubular than flue boilers, decided on taking the latter out, and substituting the newly-invented article. The flue boilers were then taken out of the Victoria and Albert, and put into the steam-sloop Devastation, in which ship they now remain, about to servo a three or four years' commission. The tubular boilers put into the royal yacht about five years and a half ago have lasted ever since, without repair. On examination lately, however, they have been found to require re pair; the Admiralty have therefore decided on taking those boilers out (which, when repaired, are to be placed in a war steam-sloop), and giving the Queen's vessel the benefit of all the science latterly brought to bear upon boiler making, which, as compared with those made five years and upwards ago, it is supposed and believed will furnish a much greater power in the same space, thereby accelerating the speed of the yacht half a knot or more per hour, and consequently adding to the cc rn fort and convenience of the Sovereign when travelling by sea. To prove that the Victoria and Albert has not had the money wasted upon her that the public might infer from the paragraph in the professional paper abovenamed, we have only to instance that in foul weather she is a most comfortable "sea boat," and as regards speed, we have merely to mention that last year she steamed from Aberdeen to Osborne-house at the average rate of 12 knots per hour, and in the sum mer steamed from Cowes roads to Cork harbour at the average speed of 11 knots 6-10ths, and after landing the Queen at Greenock, she ran from that port to Cowes roads at the average rate of 11 knots 7- 10ths.— Times, TTPOGRAPRICAL WIDOW AND ORPHAN FUND.-- We noticed, a tew weeks since, the appointment of a provisional committee of compositors connected with the daily press, for the purpose of drawing up a series of rules for the guidance of a society having for its object the affording assistance to the families of their decnsed brethren.
