The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, 1 2 10 Company being prohibited, by the 84th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis puting a Policy upon any ground whatever The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. RALF PItEMIIIM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the Premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first live years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As stiranea may be relinquished at any time without payment °f the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, arid to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WBoLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security Of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the Assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age. or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in- Vested. OR the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain -1,4 the whole capital, and the represent atives of the deceased obtain. Their share without having to wait until it cal be recovered from Outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator.

We are sorry to have to announce the death of Harry Goldney, E.g., surgeon, R.N., which occurred under the following circumstances:—This highly respected officer. while in charge of the Randolph, convict-ship, with 300 male prisoners, proceeding to New South Wales, was at tacked with erysipelas of the head, accclnpan'ed with paroxysms of delirium, in one of which he unobserved either fell or threw himself from the stern of the ship, aid was drowned. Queen,llsl:Scl Pr i mentioned, B DEATH (A , LIEUTENANT M'KENZIE, OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—Our obituary of yesterday recorded the death of another veteran officer of Greenwich Hospital, Lieutenant Charles M'Kenzie (1799), in the 77th year of his age. This officer entered the navy, August 23, 1793, as A. 8., on board the Quebec, 32, Captain Judas Rogers, and after visiting the coast of Holland, accom panied the expeditic n under Vice• Admiral Sir John Jervis at d Gt neral Sir Charles Grey against the French West India Islands, where ht . ? e - as wounded in the left shoulder during the landing at Fart Royal, Martinique. On his removal, as midshipman, in April, 1794, to the Vesuvius, bomb, Captain Thomas Rugs rs, he co operated in the reduction of St. Lucia and Guadaloupe, and then returned with convoy to England. He was next, for a period of nearly two years, employed in the Channell, off the coast of Africa, and again in the West Indies, on board L'Espiegle, 16, Captain Benjamin Ro berts, and Sheerness, 44, Captain Simon Maenzie; after which we find him, from September. 179 G, until advanced to his present rank, Dec. 9, 1799, commanding, with the rasing of master's mate, the Success, gun brig, on the Plymouth station. He joined, on the occasion of his promotion, the Cambridge, 80, bearing the flag in the Mediterranean of Sir Thomas Pasley; and was subse quently appointed—Sept. 'l5, 1800, to the Pique, 36, Captains James Young and William Cumberland, under the former of whom he assisted at the landing of the way, to wilich a s ti h n i troops in Egypt, in 1861—Oct. 29, 1803 nine months after he had left the Pique, to the Malta, 80, Captains )hec o a n s tin s u en ed io a r, tta to ch t e h d e u l n ni ti p l l N ac o a v b e l m e b , 7 e 4 r, , Edward Buller, William Shield, and Robert Waller Ot gi Robert d(with Calder's gthtthat txc a pe c ep t r i ti ol o il ; shortda l6 re th cr iv ofi timen t g h the passed in 1807, with Captain Shield, as First-Lieutenant, in the I C lwnBo a :u p nB t rtl a nd i p, n latli s George Chas.

Lieutenant M'Kenzie was admitted into Greenwich Hospital Dec. 19, 1844. He married June 22, 1826, and has issue two sons and four daughters. The Superb, 80, Captain Purcell (that has been so long at her anchors at Spithead), had, we were glad to see, a flourish yesterday. She got underweigh, and cruised about Spithead for an hour or two—after which she took up a fresh berth more to the eastward. The Daedalus, 20, Captain G. G. Wellesley, was paid advance, mustered, and inspected by Roar-Admiral Superintendent Sir John Louis. Bart., at Devonport, on Thursday morning, and is to sail this day for the Pacific station on the arrival of the mail. The Calypso, 18, Captain Worth, was towed into har bour, alongside the dockyard jetty, on Thursday evening, and yesterday morning, at daylight, began to land her valuable freight, which was put into waggons as landed, and conveyed by Messrs. Emanuel to the South Coast terminus at Landport. The weight of the freight is about 80 tons. 2,000,000 dollars being in specie, and to the value of 1,000,000 dollars in Californian gold. The gold is in the natural state in which it is dug up, gene rally in variously shaped pieces from an ounce weight to smaller pieces weighing a few grains; some of it is in gold dust. It left Landport terminus last night and will be delivered at the Bank of England this morning. Captain Worth is, we are sorry to say, suffering from a protracted illness; but it is supposed that he will go round to Woolwich iu command of the Calypso. She was to be towed out of harbour yesterday evening, and to proceed to Woolwich to be paid off. The Contest, 13, in dock at Portsmouth, had been or dered to be got ready for commission by the middle of October. She appears to be opened in her seams a good deal, and requ;res some repairs. The Rifleman, screw- schooner, Lieut. Commander Crofton, and Spider, packet-brig, Lieut. Commander Tomlinson, were at Rio on the 22d July. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Fitzroy, will go cut of Portsmouth harbour to-day, and proceed in a few days for Lisbon. The - Dragon, 6, steam-frigate, Captain W. 11. Hall, received her shells and powder yesterday morning at Spithead, and sailed in the afternoon, about four o'clock, for the Mediterranean, to supply the place of thc Ter rible. The latter vessel has been ordered home without waiting to be relieved by the Dragon; therefore she may be hourly expected. The Dragon will call at Devonport. The Cormorant, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Schoen berg, received her orders at Portsmouth yesterday morn ing, and she sailed in the forenoon for South America. The Vesuvius, steam sloop, Mr. Martin in charge, returned to Devonport, from Greenock, on Thursday afternoon. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY, 5 P.M.—Wind W.N, W., moderato breezes, and cloudy. DEVONPORT, THURSDAY.—To-morrow having been appointed as a day of fast, humiliation, and prayer, the dockyard will be entirely closed. CHATHAM, SEPT. 14.--The barque Euxine has arrived from Quebec with a cargo of timber for the dockyard, and the brig Paragon, from St. Petersburgh, has also arrived, with a cargo of hemp. The Rochester naval lighter sailed this day with naval stores for Woolwich and Deptford dockyards. Mr. Oliver Lang, master shipwright of Woolwich yard, and Mr. Francis J. Lain, master shipwright of this yard, have both proceeded, by ordor of the Admi ralty, to Sheerness to survey the Revenge, 76 guns, in conjunction with the master shipwright of that yard. A company of the Royal Marine Artillery, consisting of 3 sergeants, 2 corporals. 1 bombardier, and 75 pri vates, under command of Captain John Fraser, with Lieutenant and Adjutant W. Aslett, from the head quarters, arrived yesterday and joined the Chatham Division. A similar detachment left this division for Portsmouth the day before. The health of the troops in this garrison continues generally good. The prohibition still continues in force against the soldiers entering the towns of Rochester, Chatham, and Strood, in consequence of the cholera Mill prevailing. The returns to the Regis trar-General's-office for the past week contain 10 deaths from cholera and two from diarrheas within the district of Chatham and Rochester; and the week before there were also the returns of 10 deaths from cholera.

In Strood the epidemic is more serious considering the smallness of the popula tion of that parish; during the week there were 9 deaths from cholera notified by the registrar of that district.

BLOWING Cr of THE SHIP MlNERVA.—lntelli gence was yesterday received at Lloyd's of the destruc • Lion of the ship Minerva, Captain Hovenden, master. The ship left Sydney on the 6th of February last, bound for Portland Bay, having on board, besides passengers, 200 barrels of gunpowder, and a large quantity of rum, brandy, and sulphur. She was obliged to put into Jervis Bay to undergo repairs, and left that place on the 20:h of March. On the following day, at four o'clock A.M . , the hold was discovered t o b e on fi re, an d the crow, being aware of the dangerous nature of the cargo, launched the boats, and made their escape in them without delay, accompanied by the captain and passen gers. Within 15 minutes of their leaving the vessel a tremendous explosion took place, carrying the decks 500 feet into the air. The ruin and brandy, &e., were ignited, and the vessel, after burning to the water's edge sunk. The boats made for Port Fairy, end, after being tossed about in a tempestuous sea for six days, and having nothing but a keg of water an d some baracootas to subsist upon—the baracootas proved poisonous and were thrown overboard—succeeded in reaching Port Philip Heads, where assistance was obtained. The loss is estimated at several thousand pounds. Diarrhea is just now prevalent to an extraordinary extent in the neighbourhood of Colchester, as it seems to be, indeed, almost universally. Eighty-three cases arising among the out-door poor were reported at the last Meeting of the Colchester guardians as under treat., meat by the medical officer, Mr. Blair. It is gratifying, however, to find that in no case has the malady had a fatal termination. , —Chelmsford Chronicle. N°.17,777.] LONDON, SA TU RDA L t. • "4 1 7 SEPTEMBER 15, 1849.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FTIO3I TITE MOTINING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.--The court-martial which has recently attracted so much attention has terminated, and the Nary List is no longer encumbered by the name of Commander Pitman. That gentleman entered the service in 1826, and after having enjoyed the autho rity of a con - mender for six years, he was by due form of martial-law dismissed from the service altigether on Wednesday /asta Whatever his career may have been elsewhere, the public has at all events acquired sufficient insight into his sayings and doings on board the Childers in the period which elapsed be tween 1846 and her return to England from a cruise in the Chinese seas. Dui ing the whole of that inter val Commander Pit man was lord paramount on board that unfortunate ship, and ruled her officers and crew with an iron hand. The first intimation which was given of the lamentable state of things in the Childers was the astounding intelligence that two of her offi cers, Lieutenant Graham and the master, Mr. Oliott, had deliberately dessrted, preferring to incur the consequences of so serious a step to submitting themselves any longer to the caprices and cruelty of their superior officer. This, it must be admitted, was a fearful plunge. What could have led these men to take it ? The Mutiny Act knows no nice distinctions between voluntary and involuntary desertion. It enters not into any delicate investigation into matters of justification ; neither does it inquire into the peculiar connexion VI hich may exist in some cases between cause and effect. Lieutenant Graham and Mr. Elliott, therefore, must have known that in leaving the Childers they were guilty of desertion—an offence which ranks, profes sionally, as high as murder does in the moral and criminal codes. On conviction the offender may lose his life ; and in the cases now before us we find that, notwithstanding the matters urged in excuse, if net. in defence of their conduct, those officers, who had pleaded guilty to the charge without any hesitation, were sentenced to be dismissed the service for ever, and to be furthermore imprisoned in gaol for certain periods. Than this, death itself would be more acceptable to honourable minds; and it is not to be wondered that these so-called deserters should have sought to justify themselves in the eyes of their Qwen and their country, their judges, and their per sonal and professional friends, by dragging into the broad glare of a court• martial the circumstances from which had sprung their own disgrace and ruin. Ac cordingly, at their instance a court-martial on Com mander Pitman was held at Plymouth an the 28th of August, 1849, and thirteen following days, when several witneves were examined by the prosecutors in support of their charges, consisting of " general cruelty and oppression between the 4th of September, 1846, :lad May, 20, 1849;" " false statements in the log-book of the Childers ;" and " false expenditure of stores—viz., a hammock-cloth, represented to have been washed away on or about the 14th of October, 1846, and a meintopsail, represented to have been lost on or about the 9th of October, 1848." It is not our intention to enter into any minute examination of the evidence by which these extraordinary charges were sustained on the part of the prosecutors. It would almost suffice to say that the Court, after due consideration, were of opinion " that the charge of general cruelty and oppression was in part. proved against the prisoner ; that the charge of false expenditure of stores, and the charge of false statements in the log-book of her Majesty's ship Childers, were proved against the prisoner.' It is impossible, however, to avoid remarking on some of the very awkward disclosures which fully demon strated the fact that Commander Pitman was an ill conditioned man, - who hesitated not to call his officers "liars" in the presence of the crew, and did not con sider it beneath his standing in life and rank in the profession to wring the ears of his personal attendant, a mere boy, till they bled at one time ; to cut open his head with a shoe at another; or, on a third occa sion, to lay violent hands on him in an ungovernable impulse of passion, and almost to choke him in his frenzy. The witness to this latter feat says— " I remember the boy Cleverdon well. lie was ser vant to Commander Pitman on our passage home. At the Cape of Good Hope 40 marines were employed in puttying the ship's deck. I was puttying in around where the skylight went on. I looked down, and saw Commander Pitman strike the boy Cleverdon, and knock him down, and then take him up, and clasp both his arms round the boy's neck. I went on the lower deck, and told the Captain's steward to make an excuse to go to the cabin, as the boy was singing out very much." So much for ungovernable iinpulse. But this wit ness himself had been the victim of something far worse—a cruel punishment had been inflicted on him by Commander Pitman, continuing de die in diem, because the poor fellow, being unable through sick ness to continue to act as cook, he being shipped as a marine, and having only volunteered to act as cook, had, after repeated and ineffectual remonstrances, at last refused to do the work for which he was not originally shipped. What account does this man give of the commander?— "The next day I was called up before Commander Pitman. I told him I could not go to the coppers. The commander said I did not come into the ship to do as I liked. I told him I did not, and that I was there to do duty as a marine. I wished to do a marine's duty. It I was not allowed to do a marine's duty, the❑ I could not help it. The Commander immediately said that 1 was to do as he ordered me, and that ho would make me do duty as cook to the coppers, upon which I said I reoUld not. I was then put on bread and water for seven days, and I had to walk the deck with my knapsack on my back from 8 o'clock in the morning until sunset, and from sunset I was placed in irons until 8 o'clock next morning. I had my grog stopped for 15 days, and had to keep 10 days' watch and watch in the forecastle." With such a harsh and barbarous system of accu mulative punishments it is not to be wondered at that two men should actually have committed suicide, while a third was discharged "insane" at Hobart Town. Such would be the natural, nay, the inevit able, consequence to many men in the rank of a ma rine or seaman on board ship. Death becomes pre ferable to life when clogged with punishments invented with an ingenuity which would do justice to a North American savage. From Fisher, the purser, again, we hear of one, Hayter, who was re. peatedly punished with a cane over the hands and shoulders; was at different times put on bread and water, carried his hammock all day, and forced to wear a collar made of heavy wood, which was locked round his neck, while his head was half shaved ! This memorable engine of torture, the notion for which was doubtless derived from the Commander's Chintse travels, is described as being " about two feet in length, and fourteen or fifteen inches in breadth. It opened in the centre with a large iron hinge to admit the neck, in order to lock it. It was about two inches thick." The same witness thus de scribes the character of Commander Pitman :—"1 consider-he has on several occasions acted in an unjust, violent,. and insulting manner towards myself very severe." With such a commanding officer the question must frequently arise among the officers and crew, " How long are we to bear this tyranny ?" And though we would by no means up hold the right of inferior officers to sit in judgment on the acts of their superiors, and to carry out their disapprobation by desertion, or by any other step than an appeal to the proper tribunal, it must be allowed that courts-martial at the instance of inferiors seldom come to anything, and that there are limits beyond which human frailty and endurance cannot well be expected to go. We unhesitatingly affirm that such a case is now before us. Mr. Elliott may well say to his commander, when cross-examined by him, " I feel that you have been my destruction." It is impossible to read the evidence given in this case without adopting that conclusion. The facts proved as clearly lead to it as they did to the opinion and sentence of the officers com posing the court-martial on this and the other charges brought under their notice; and we cannot but ask ourselves whether those luckless victims of this man's tyranny who shunned suicide in deserting the Childers should be looked upon in the light of ordinary deserters, or whether there ought not to be some remission of their sentence. Their case is almost without a precedent, and can never be itself converted into one—at least, fur the honour of the service, we trust not. The result of the inquiry called for by them is their justification—if anything can justify desertion. They found a despotism too severe for their moral or physical strength, and they fled from it—not as cowards fly from death—not as ill-affected traitors fly from the service of their country—but they fled from Commander Pitman and from themselves, fearing, doubtless, lest they might be goaded by him into the commission of an offence even more horrible than desertion. " Wrought upon and perplexed in the extreme," they yielded to an impulse which, while it cannot be excused, must yet be admitted to have had its origin in causes most harassing and vexatious. 'Whatever may be their ultimate lot in life, they have at all events been I mainly instrumental in proclaiming to the world that the naval service of England is to be conducted on a gentlemanly principle ; that the quarter-deck of a Queen's ship is not to be converted into a bear garden ; that gradations of rank, though essential to the honour of the flag under which all assemble, are not to be construed into synonymes for" master" and "slaves." CHRONICLE.—" The gentleman," exclaimed Chatham, on a memorable occasion, " says that Arne , riot% is almost in open revolt. I rejoice that America has resisted!" There are few Englishmen—there is not one coloni-l—who will affect to lament that the people of the Cape are now opposing, by every means short of open revolt, the outrage put upon them by Lord Grey. We may disapprove of some of the expedients which have been resorted to by them in this contest, but we cannot forget that it is a struggle for the purity of their homes, the safety of their streets, and the fair fame of the colony itsr-lf. Who ever has a kinsman—still more, whoever has a kins woman—in our dependencies, will wish our country men God speed. Not long ago our readers were apprised of the horror with which the colonists of the Cape learnt from their Governor that, in the teeth of his and their remonstrance, Lord Grey had dis patched three hundred convicts to their shores. That horror has now found an articulate expression. A vast public meeting was held on July the 4 11, and ten resolutions were passed, couched in language such as, happily, is seldom provoked, even by the fatuous tyranny of the Colonial Secretary himself. The colonists have declared that the transportation of convicts to their shores is " injurious and degrrding, and ought to be resisted ;" that the Imperial Government " has no right to de grade into a penal settlement the Cape of Good Hope, which became a portion of the British empire by capitulation and cession from a friendly power, and not by planting or conquest, with its rights and pri vileges as a free, and not a penal, settlement solemnly guaranteed :" . . . " that the conduct of Earl Grey, in first directing the Governor to ascertain the opinions and wishes of the people, and then acting in defiance of their unanimous decision, is an exsggera- tion of in3ult added to injury towards an unoffending community, which proves him to be unworthy to retain any place in the government of a free people." Accordingly, her Majesty is to be prayed to revoke the notorious Order in Council of the 4th of September, 1848, and to direct the removal of such convicts as have already been landed under that order; and Par liament is to be petitioned for an Act expressly guaranteeing the colonists from any similar outrage in future. Such is the general tenor of the resolu tions. In order to offer the utmost legal resistance at present within their power, the colonists have further set up a sort of moral quarantine. They have leagued themselves to oppose the execution of what they justly term an " injurious, degrading, unconstitutional, despotic, and dangerous measure," by cutting off all coretnunicatien with such persons as "may assist in landing, supporting, or employing" the convicts. Already the townspeople have refused to supply the Commissariat with meat or bread, lest it should serve as food for the felons. While we cannot but regard these and similar extreme measures as unjustifiable, we frankly own our sympathy with as just a cause as ever stirred the blood of good men, and we gladly record so patent a proof, that our countrymen cannot always learn by a change of latitude to sacrifice the purity of their homes for the profits of convict labour. We do not, however, forget that there is one upon whom these demonstrations will fall with unmerited severity. It probably did not enter into Lord Grey's deliberate intentions to hold up to public obloquy an old and meritorious officer; but this much is certain—that had his Lordship planned such an affront to Sir Harry smith, he could not more surely have carried it into execution. The Governor had been distinctly assured that this "measure should not be forced upon the colonists if they did not require the species of ,labour which it would supply." He ascertained that they regarded it with repugnance. Sharing their feeling, he com municated it to head-quarters, and guaranteed to the inhabitants the good Lath of the Government. Before his dispatch reached England, Lord Grey had, how ever, shipped off his proteges, with a letter of intro duction, in which they were "tendered as a boon ! " Yes ; this is the cream of the jest; his Lordship outrages the feelings of the colonists—he dupes the Governor into giving false assurances—and the outrage and the deceit are " a boon" ! Poor Katha rine in the The Taming of the Shrew, when she re counts the injuries she has sustained from her impe rious bridegroom, winds up the dismal catalogue with this last and crowning wrong— " What spites me more than all— He does it under name of perfect love !" But the Petruchio of the Colonial-office, more simple than his prototype, had not, according to Sir George Grey, even a suspicion of the emotions which his " boon " would excite. The Government, says the Home Secretary very gravely, would never have dreamt of engaging in this kind of contest with the wishes of the colonists. Alas ! we can only ask, if such prodigious ignorance and nalvett form any apolegy for a Colonial Minister, where are these bcunties to end ? How many more " precious balms" has this terrible benefactor in store, where with to "break the heads" of the 'recalcitrant objects of his affection ? With a colony driven within one stage of open revolt, this kind of idiosyncrasy be comes serious. We have often had to reprehend the intemperate severity of his Lordship's measures, but we now confess that verily his tender mercies are crueller still. Of course, the Government will not venture to repeat the outrage to which they have thus been made accessory by the Colonial Secretary. The apology of Sir G. Grey was a sufficient indica tion of the feeling of his colleagues on that head. But the energetic resistance now offered by the Cape en courages us to believe yet snore—that the wrong will be redressed, and that Lord Grey's emissaries—" the Devil's missionaries," as our transported felons are sometimes called—will be fairly returned on his hands. The Cape colonists are not battling for their own rights alone; they are vindicating the cause of every dependency of England which the contamina tion of cunvict labour has not already reached. If they succeed, a great principle will be for ever estab lished in our colonial polity, and criminals will noragain be forced on a British community against its will. Go vernment are fond of talking of the economical advan tages which our settlements derive by largely absorbing convict labour. Henceforth, it may be hoped that they will at least leave it to our fellow-subjects to decide on taking or rejecting the questionable boon. We hope more. Cicero has said that man can he engaged in no more godlike work than when he is founding, or helping to preserve, a state. Had the orator lived in a later age, he might have sought a very opposite analogy for the creation of communities of crime. We dare to hope that the time is near when this country will revolt from offering to its colonies what they cannot accept without a stigma. Morals and policy are not so antagonistic but that we should doubt—even were proofs wanting of the imperfection of transportation as a mere penal instrument—the expediency of deliberately contaminating our depen dencies ; and we trust that the outrage which has led to these remarks may bring men's minds to bear with some earnestness on a question so vital to national morality. If so, we shall be taught a lesson that we are often apt to forget—the uses of arrogance, and the fitness of foolish and intemperate men to explode the errors which they exemplify. "Itis an ill wind," says the proverb, "that blows nobody good ;" and even Lord Grey may indirectly become a colonial, bene factor, by having raised " the stormy spirit of the Cape." HERALD.—We may talk as we please about sanitary regulations—we may establish Boards of Health and Health of Towns Commissions—we may flush obstinate sewers, and shut up graieyards, and adopt all kinds of deoderising remedies; but's° long as a man has a nuisance at his own door, and does not know what to do with it, it is very plain that we are reading the lesson of universal prophylaxis back wards. In these days, when a wide-spreading pesti. lence is daily sacrificing hecatomb upon hecatomb — when every quack has his remedy at the tip of his tongue and the point of his pen, and we have central boards and commissions of all kinds, to debate, and wise, it would b e marve ll ou s to report, and to be very that the individual householder should never know what to do when a stencil salutes his nostrils, if in all such cases it were not our custom to begin at the wrong end. Nothing is ready when it is wanted. Like Sir Abel Handy's wonderful apparatus for the suppression of fire, our contrivances are never in a state fit for use. The horse burns whilst we are bewailing that the machinery is not fixed. It may be said that we are starving in the midst of plenty— that we are "dying of too much health." The sanitary cooks are too many, and they are spoil ing the broth. We do not speak now of the fa culty, who have magnanimously agreed t o diff e r. What is one doctor's cure is another doctor's poison ; and if we are to believe all that is said, certain death must attend the administration of every known re medy for cholera. We speak of the external sanitary machinery, which is almost as disjointed. If we are to believe all that is said 0 , r , 1 this subject, th ere i s scarcely any great " sanitary process which is not calculated grievously to increase the pestilence which has been afflicting the nation. People are fairly be wildered. They read so much that they know no thing; and if they did know what is the proper thing to be done, they would be quite at a loss how to set about doing it, when the emergency actually occurs, and theory is to be reduced to practice. Take any single case. Let every reader make himself the ex emplar. He has a drain close to his house at Brix ton, or Brompton, or Islington, or Clapham, or Nor wood--wherever he may chance to reside. When he goes outside his gates an abominable stench salutes his nostrils. He has no difficulty in assigning it to its true cause—the black ditch or uncovered drain , which runs beside his Wise is pe surely the WM. of the foul odour as the sun is the source of light. His neighbours remark the nuisance cn their way to church, and pass over to the other side. He knows that he ought to do something ; but he is by no means sure what that something The simplest remedy appears to be an application of water to the offending drain. He orders a quantity of the aqueous fluid to be thrown into it—he begins flushing with much zeal, and then reads in the papers, or perhaps is told by his next• door neighbour that he is only making bad worse, and that if the ditch were dangerous before it is doubly dangerous after the disturbance of its noxious contents. Fearing that this may be true— that he is doing more harm than good—he resolves the next time a stench salutes him to leave the causes of it unexplored. He need not waste his time or his money in endeavouring to mitigate a nuisance, which it may be safer to leave to run its unmolested course, until it expires under the influence of a favourable change of weather. Now all this would not happen if our sani tary regulations were, as regards practical uses, much better than mere moonshine. In the dilemma which we have faintly sketched out, the worthy Brixtonian or Clapharnite may, perhaps, address himself for aid to the nearest magistrate, or for advice to his medical attendant. Neither one nor the other can do anything for him. It is not the magistrate's business to cure stenches. It is not the doctor's business, nor is it the doctor's interest. There is a Board of Health—it is well known in the newspapers; but what every man wants to learn is to whom, in his own immediate neighbourhood, he is to betake himself when he knows that a nuisance at his doors is u nderminin g the 'health and may destroy the life of himself and his family. Until every man has the means of laying his complaint before, and obtaining immediate assist ance froin, some estabiished and responsible function ary, whenever he believes that there are any remov able causes of disease in the vicinity of his home, all our laws for the better preservation of the public health, however well intentioned, must, as regards their practical vs °skim., be the veriest shams. Every man ought to know as well, under such circumstances, to whom he should betake himself as he knows to whom to address himself when he requires the keys of the parish church, the aid of the fire engine, the registration of a son or daughter, or the detection of a thief. The " sanitary" man, call him by what name you may, ought to be a part of every community, as much as the parish clerk, the registrar, the constable, or the policeman. No man should be thrown upon his own resources—compelled to play the amateur and the experimentalist in matters of life and death. It is of as vital concern ment to him that he should be protected against disease as against robbery and violence. For one kind of protection he will be as ready to pay as for the other. He is sure to find his account in it—sure to acknowledge that it is economical in the end. At present we are all paying for what is of little use to us in comparison with the ready means placed at every man's disposal of directing an official and responsible attack against every destructive agent that is at work in the neighbourhood of his house. Until we know to whom to address ourselves in our difficulties, talk as we may about sanitary regulations, we are reading all our lessons backwards. Until we know how to knock down a stench at our own doors, we can but look with something like contempt at all the grand scheines for the universal conquest of stenchdom.

BEWLEY, FISHER, AND CO.'S CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER. —This rreparation conta'ns, in a highly concentrated state, and without the addition of any more heating slimulant, all the car minative and restorative properties of this useful and grateful are• matie, separated from the ligneous fibre which constitutes the bulk of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity ofthe powder to produce the desired effect, BEWLEY, FISHER, and CO. conceive this form of exhibition the most convenient, when taken in water, tea, beer, wine, &c. ; or for combination with other medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of tic powder. It is recommended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gon , y, Dyspeptic, and Ner veus habits. " Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused throughout the whole system, relieving cramps, spasms, flatulency, pain, and sense of oppressi n after meals, and restoring the tone of the stomach. Its utility is also manifested as au adjunct to other medi cines, and in correcting the chill which soda aid other aerated or mineral waters give the stomach, as well as in adding to their tonic property. In bottles at 2s. Gd. and 43., prepared only by BEWLEY, FISHER, and Co., Dame-street, Dublin, Chemists to the Queen and Prince Albert, by Special Appointment. Also their Anodyne Lettuce Lozenges, for coughs, colds, asthma, and affections of the chest. Doctor Duncan, of Edinburgh, and other leading members of the profession, have strongly recommended Lactucarium (the inspis sated juice of the garden Lettuce) as possessing peculiarly soothing and quieting properties in the above complaints, and especially in the troublesome cough attendant on consumption. To increase its efficacy, Bewley, Fisher, and Co. have combined it with hippo and demulcents, and have adopted the form of a lozenge as being the most agreeable mode for its administration.

T The powerful influence of the sun on the skin at this period of the year calls for increased attention in preserving its delicacy and beauty. The most pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable object is It K A L YDOR, so deservedly established in Royal and Public favour and estimation. Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and Induces that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan, Spots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the KALYDOR, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa rency of complexion. Ladles travelling or taking out-door exercise will find it to diffuse a grateful and refreshing feeling. In cases of Sunburn, or Stings of Insects, its virtues have long been acknow ledged.

A Form of Prayer was issued yesterday by the Chief Rabbi, to be used in all the synagogues of the united congregations in the British empire, on ac count of the mortality caused by the cholera. After reading the penitential Psalms of David, the 22d, 91st, and 103 d, by the reader and congregation, the following prayer is to be read : " Lord Almighty ! gracious and full of compassion, who has created the universe by thy wisdom. Thine eyes are upon the earth from the beginning of the year, even unto the end thereof. Thou formedst the light and the darkness. Thou spreadest peace and raiseth calamity. To Thee, 0 Lord, we approach now, when our souls are overwhelmed by amazement and affliction. Thou hast visited the inhabitants of this country by sending forth among them a • raging disease, a dreadful destruction, so that every nerve trembles, every heart pal pitates thereat. Verily ! we know, 0 God, Thy judgments are just, for no evil can issue from Thee, the source of all goodness and mercy ; but Thou chasteneth us for our sins, because our iniquities and transgressions are heavy upon us, and our hearts froward and perverse. We beseech Thee, 0 Lord, to let our penitential prayers ascend unto Thee like incense. In Thy mercy, attend not to our wickedness, but cause us to return unto Thee by a perfect repentance. Let Thy countenance shine upon us Thy servants. Withdraw this plague from our land. Be, as heretofore, our rock and our shelter, and deliver not the beings of Thine hand unto this destroying visitation. Be Thou, 0 Lord, at the right hand of the physicians, enlighten their spirits and guide their counsels, for Thou alone art the merciful, the mighty healer. Father ! full of all grace, heal the hearts which are broken—bind up the wounds which are bleeding, soothe the souls which are afflicted, and grant that we may turn even the afflic tions which befall us into a corrective to our souls. Bless us, and bless our children. Pour out Thy Divine Spirit upon all men, and restore unto us a year of life and plenty—a year of peace and redemp tion. Amen." ROBERT BURNS. A very fine historical painting by Mr. Stewart Watson, of the inauguration of Robert Burns, as poet laureate of the Masonic Lodge, Cannongate- Kilwinning, Edinburgh, in 1787, is now being exhi bited in Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The admirers of this great bard will look upon it with considerable interest, when they know that it is the only historical picture, justly so called, in which he has been introduced, and that it represents a period of his life when his genius was first fully appreciated, and fitly acknowledged. No more happy epoch in the poet's brief but brilliant career do we think could have been selected than that which the artist has so skilfully delineated upon canvas. Burns, it will be recollected, had hitherto been unfortunate ; the farm of Mossgiel, which he and his brother Gilbert entered upon at the death of their father, turned out to be unsuccessful ; and, to add additional weight to that calamity, his marriage with Jean Armour, afterwards Mrs. Burns, to whom he was most fondly attached, was not only strongly opposed, but prevented by her austere and somewhat relentless parents. Although his misfor tunes did not diminish his zeal for the cultivation of poesy and song, they at length drove him to the determination to accept an overseer's situ ation in Jamaica, where, perchance, the expression of his patriotic feelings and noble sentiments might have been forgotten in the merciless occupation of the slave-driver. Having, at the suggestion of a few friends, published a volume of poems, the proceeds from w hich enabled him to pay the passage out, he was just on the eve of starting on his long journey when a letter from Dr. Blacklock, assuring him that he would meet with encouragement in Edinburgh, completely altered his intentions. On arriving in the capital his poems soon became popular, and men of rank and power were not above according to him their approbation and applause. Under such circumstances it may easily be imagined what the feelings of the poet must have been. The painter, then, has taken advantage of this period, and has not only exposed, perhaps for the first time, the interior of a masonic lodge, but has enabled us at a glance to obtain a clearer insight into the character of Burns, and the relation in which he stood to the world around him than many common place memoirs. The poet is in the act of receiving a wreath of laurel from the president, and the attitude in which he is placed by the artist is dignified and manly, and entirely in keeping with the character of a man who could pen that beautiful and spirited dedication to the gentlemen of the Caledonian Hunt, in which he says—" Though much indebted to your goodness, I do not approach you, my lords and gentlemen, in the uqtal style of dedication, to thank you for past favours ; that path is so hacknied by prostituted learning, that honest rusticity is ashamed of it. Nor do I present this address with the venal soul of a servile author, looking for a continuAnce of favours. I was bred to the plough, and am independent. I come to claim the common Scottish name with you my illustrious countrymen, and to tell the world that I glory in the title. His countenance, which is well painted, full expression being given to his fine and lustrous eyes, is copied from an engraving which Mrs. Begg, the poet's sister, pronounced to be the most faithful likeness of her brother, and we be lieve the painter was fortunate enough to obtain au thentic family portraits, miniatures, and engravings of the other characters he has included in the cere mony. Among those most prominently introduced may be mentioned Earls of Glencairn and Buchan; Lords Napier and Monboddo ; James Boswell (John... son's biographer), Henry Mackenzie (the " Man of Feeling"), Sir David Hunter Blair, Sir William Forbes ; the lusty and merry Captain Gorse ; Pro fessor Dugald Stewart; Dalrymple of Grangefield. There are also a considerable number of other charac ters less prominetly put forward, such as Nichol and Cruickshank, master of the High School ; Dunbar (" ratlin' roarin' Willie"), Mr. Millar, of Dalswin t tFn, Wand and Creech, the publisher. Mr . Wand tsonhisscmonacnenperioonf of his subject is extremely happy, execution entirely successful. The perspective is excellent, and the colouring is neither too tame nor too overcharged. We understand that the painting was originally intended for the lodge whose proceed ings it reflects, b ut, owin g to their funds bein g to li mited to admit of its purchase, it has been sent to London, in the exp.etation of its meeting with a ready market.
