Alexander Robertson, Esq. The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, Oro Company being prohibited, by the 64th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis Ming 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. HALF PRE NIII7M SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the Premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p aid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE 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. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until It can be recovered from Outstanding debts. There is ne extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the , equator. Ne .Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge Made far the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life. The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons, approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in connexion with this Company.

Fraser gives many instances of these corrupt practices on the part of Noble Lords and Hon. Members. We quote one which is so flagrant that vie think the House of Lords ought, if it has any regard for its own character, to at once institute an inquiry into the circumstances of the case ; and if the charge shall not be disproved they ought then to mark, in some especial manner, their sense of the conduct of a Peer who uses his legislative powers, not for the purpose of maintaining and pros moting-the national interests, but to serve his per sonal pecuniary ends. " When the first Bill to make a railway from London to Birmingham was brought into Parliament, a great majority of the public looked upon the whole scheme with doubt and aversion. The plan was new—that was enough to excite opposition in many men. It was not only new, but extraordinary, wonderful. The rate of speed promised was terrific, and, consequently, not a little of contempt and fear entered into the opposition raised. But there were interests opposed which induced some persons to watch these proceedings, certainly with emotions of fear—of fear, not lest the plan should fail, but lest it should succeed. Among these were the great canal proprietors, and of these proprietors the richest and most powerful was a member of the House of Lords. Thu first Bill was thrown out in the Lords. The sum spent in this first unsuccessful attempt was enormous, and the public are daily paying for that loss in the shape of increased fares, and the shareholders in the shape of decreased dividends. The next year another another Bill was proposed. The opposition in the Lards had been conciliated. What does ' concili ated' mean? Bought off. This was not the case of a man whose land was injured directly by the passage of the railway through it; it was that of a rival, whose less efficient means of carriage were supposed likely at once to be superseded by a more efficient and rapid mode of conveyance. This was, therefore, no ease for compensation. Every high road had precisely the same claim as the noble proprietor's canals, but no one pro poses to compensate the proprietors of the highway trusts. Their property has be.ni destroyed in many cases, by the new mode of travelling, and the public has never dreamed of paying for that loss. Every improvement is attended with the same evil, and every proprietor of a machine, superseded by one more useful and effective, has just as equitable a claim f or compensation as the noble proprietor of canals which were aboutto be injured by the introduction of railways. But the possessors of these machines aro not Peers of Parliament—they have no means of harassing and op posing the inventors of the superior instruments which work them mischief, and they cannot, therefore, corn marid the compensation which a Noble Lord, in the case before us, complacently put into his pocket. "The evil hero was not confined to the payment of this one sum. It was extended in various ways, and infected as with a moral pestilence all classes, who now began to take an interest in this new mode of conveyance. A man of great power, station, and wealth, bad set this bad exemple; and there was no want of followers in this course of unjust acquisition. This .first case was peculiar, because it was a clear and naked case .of buying off opposition. The sum was enormous which was offered and accepted; and the mode of payment at once e tt p ih r oo o n v ps:r d tha t the ebe t uetd a isn, g ye a rNb o w l e a Lord'ssno no t founded objection otn publ i c o t scheme e considera tions, o n s e i m i n e e r a r w d h t o e ll e y ei t v h e e d, re a s s u t l i t ie of p h ri i c s e pr o i f va h te is in fo te rb re e s a t rt f s. orbear ance, NoblemLab os er of shares in the Birmingham Railway. The shares were given, and the Bill went successfully through the Lords." An opera, by Flotow, the composer of Stradella, was produced here by the German company last night with the most complete success. It is entitled Martha, or the Market of Richmond. Of the plot it is unne cessary to speak, inasmuch as it is literally the same as that of Balt'e's opera, the Maid of Honour, which was so successful on its first production at Drury lane Theatre, under Jullien's management. The same plot also formed the subject of a ballet, Hen rietta, or the Statute Fair, at the same theatre, in Which Clara Webster, the danseuse who was unforr tunately burnt to death while performing there, made a very favourable impression on the public. Although the plot has thus become familiar, the music of the German composer has a fre s hness and vivacity which, after the weak specimen of his powers in Stradella, was as unexpected as it was gratifying. He has been fortunate, also, in having his music interpreted by artists who entered thoroughly into the spirit of the opera, and made it the most pleasing of any which has been performed during the present visit of the G erman com pany. Great atten tion has also been bestowed on the production of Martha, the scenery, dresses, and accessories being complete even fo the introduction of the horses on which Plunkett (Herr Karl Formes) and -Lyonel (Herr Bahrdt) ride to the fair. To this attention to the minor accessories of the opera, as well as to the excellent singing of the principal characters, the great success of last evening must be attributed. The part of the Maid of Honour was taken by Mdlle Romani, who acted and sung with gr ea t energy and gained considerable and well deserved applause. A well known melody, " The last Rose of Summer," has been introduced into the opera by Flotow, and Mdlle. Romani sang the air with so much feeling as to com mand an unanimous encore. Madame Marlow, who was the waiting maid, entered thoroughly into the spirit of the character. Her vivacity and archness, and the easy style in which she executed some difficult pas sages in the music of her part, appeared to be thoroughly appreciated by the audience, and she was greatly applauded. Herr Karl Formes was the Farmer Plunkett, and his rich bass voice could hardly be heard to more advantage than in the. drinking song, " Laszt mich Euch fragen," &c., in the opening scene of the third act—an air in praise of "malt and hops," which met with an unanimous encore, and had nearly been demanded again. Herr Bahrdt, as Lyonel (the lover), had ample opportunities for the display of a very sweet tenor voice, of which he availed him self satisfactorily. He was encored in the Spinning wheel duet with Herr Formes, " Iramer munler dreh das Radchen," in the second act, where they instruct the Maid of Honour and her attendant how to perform the duties of the farm-house. All the concerted pieces were given with great effect, and the chorus, as usual, distinguished themselves by the energy and exactness with which they executed the music—being encored in the " Madchen bray and treu," &c., in the first act, and greatly applauded throughout. We ought not to omit in our notice the quaint and effective manner in which Herr Kuchler performed the minor part of Lord Tristan. Without overacting the part of the fop, he made it very amusing. The opera is likely to prove the most attractive of the series. ...... Messrs.

It is a matter of no small gratification, at this de- lightful season of the year, to know that Vauxhall still survives with all its wonted splendour and at tractions, and bids fair, from the auspicious opening last night, to have a prosperous season, worthy the palmiest days of the royal property. This, perhaps, may be owing to the gardens being placed in the hands of entirely new proprietors, who have gone to great outlay in renovating and improving them, and have shown a degree of zeal and enterprise which can only be adequately met by entire success. One con siderable improvement is the opening of the Italian Walk, which fur several years has been almost en tirely closed, and its continuation round the back of the Waterloo Ground, thus giving to the gar dens a more extended appearance, and allowing visitors to have the full scope of the grounds for promenade. The covered avenues have been en tirely re-decorated, presenting, when lighted up, a most brilliant appearance, and the walks which are covered with a soft and agreeable kind of sand, beau tifully laid out with flowers, statues, lamps, and fountains. The entertainments commenced with a vocal and instrumental concert—consisting of fifty performers, under the very able direction of Mr. A. Lee, the composer—which gave the most unbounded satisfaction. The National Anthem which first greeted the ears of the company, was given with great force and ability, and produced a most furious applause. Mr. Ross, of comic-tragic celebrity, who gave several most exciting and humourous songs and recitations, will, no doubt, be a great acquisition to the Gardens. The entertainments in the Rotunda Theatre, with Auriol's troupe of French equestrians, were of a most superior description. The drolleries and t r i c k s o f A ur i o l the clown; achieved as they were w i t h so muc h pre cision and agility, created roars of l aug h ter and applause, and the wonderful and almost supernatural feats of young Hernandez on horseback were applauded to the echo. A magnificent representation of the palace and gardens of Versailles, with the basin of Neptune and fountains of real water, was given after the scenes in the circle, by means of a new an d b r illi an t species of illumination. The fire wor k s f o ll owe d , an d then came the dancing upon the pl a tf orm i n f ron t o f the or chestra and in the ball-room, which, it would appear, was by ho means considered the least part of the entertainment. There was a novelty in the introduc tion of several French vivianderes into the gardens, prettily dressed, who, to the astonishment of the company, offered, with a winning smile, bouquets and bonbons, and shunned the idea of payment. One we were told, was present at the death of the Archbisin p of Paris. The gardens were very much crowded. HERR ERNST'S CONCERT.—This distinguished vio linist gave a concert last evening at the Hanover square Rooms, which was very fully and fashionably attended. The programme compr i se d p er f o r m ances by Ernst—a host in himself—Halle, Pischek, Jetty s Treffe, Miss Dolby, and Herr Damcke ; and the selection was well calculated to display their powers, vocal and instru mental. Halle exhibited his great executive powers in Mendlessohn's Concerto in G minor, and was enthusias cally applauded. Pischek sang Meyerbeer's " Monk" in magnificent styl e , besides taking part in a duo from Belisario, with Herr Damcke. Treffz was en cored in one of her charming German songs, and fairly captivated the audience by her exquisite delivery of the English ballad " Home, sweet home," and she also sang in a duet with Miss Dolby. The last-mentioned lady sang Holmes's ballad, " Scenes of childhood," and the aria " Ciel pietoso." Ernst was received enthusiastically. Besides the allegro pathetique and the airs liongrois, which he has already played here, be gave for the first time in England a composition of his own, entitled a rondo Popageno, not founded, as the name might imply, upon any air in the Zaubeiflote, but introducing an effect with the piccolo, similar in character to that which accompanies Papageno's song. This composition, which is calculated to display the most startling characteristics of Ernst's style, with many of his most bizarre effects, was enthusiastically received and redemanded; as was also another piece, afonsfasia on ai rs f rom B e lli n i' s Pirate. The concert went off with great éclat, as indeed was in evitable from the quality of the talent engaged. LONDON SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. —Last evening a performance was given by this Society, the proteeds of which were to be given to Mr. Surman, the conductor, as an acknowledgment of his gratuitous ser vices in that capacity. The programme pres ente d no feature of novelty. The first portion of th e performance c onsisted of the first and second parts of H ay d n ' s enthusiastic a ppl ause . ora torio The Creation; and it concluded with th e second part of The Seasons, by the same comp oser. The ssft soprano imnwhoi: sss ntaynal gyep Hayes a, o r svt wase command v mt h a em s viaeu s ura u ddi s iu t ytr a he i is sustained successful d ema de os h , y Miss C a th er i ne Hayes, and in ‘il her portion of the h On mi g h ty w i ngs " music of The Seasons. The other vocalists were Mr. Phillips, Mr. Benson, Miss A. E. Byers, Mr. Lawler, and Mr. Lockey. CREMORNE GARDENS. , — This p e lac ... , which is now in the best possible order, was last evening crowded with people desirous of witnessing the balloon ascent of Lieu tenant Gale, and of partaking of the other amusements furnished by the proprietor. The ascent took place shortly after seven o'clock, the balloon taking a direction towards the north-west, and continuing in sight for a considerable length of time. When at a great height above the earth Lieutenant Gale performed hie really terrific feat of descending from the upper car to the lower one by means of a rope ladder, discharging fire T o works and ascending to the upper car. -e great attraction of the evening was, h owever, the representa tion of the siege of Moulton. The fortress is erected in the grounds on a largo scale--soldiers are seen storming the . breaches, and cannon and all the attributes of a siege are depicted with a fidelity which renders the illu sion complete. Fireworks and all the proper appliances .of such a representation are of course introduced. For those who do not delight in war and martial turmoil there are other exhibitions almost of endless variety-- dwarfs, the largest horse in the world, acrobat per formers, theatrical representations, illuminated walks, statues, and tableaux of statues by Mr. T. Thompson, the original depictor of living classic groups. The band is a very good one. This is one of the best conducted places of public amusement in London. Mr. Lewis, who is well known to the public as a master of the ceremo nies, is engaged, and performs his somewhat onerous ' duties in a very satisfactory manner. Sir Herbert Maddock had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday at the Colonial-office. W alluded in our leading article of Satur day to the admirable paper on the Hungarian question, which is to be found in the present num ber of Fraser. It is an excellently argued and excellently written paper, and should be atten tively studied by all who desire to make themselves acquainted with the subject. "The Unseen Charities of London". is an admirable paper on the less obtru sive charities, such as the "Nur s i ng Si s t ers ," an d "th e Refuge for the Houseless Poor," which are such an honour to our metropolis. We am glad to find these charities thus brought prominently forward into public notice. Ensign Faunce continues his " Peace Campaigns," and as a contrast we have an excellent paper on the wat campaigns of the Macedonians and the English in the Punjaub. In the " Current History" of the month, Fraser, in allusion to Mr. Roebuck's Epeech on Irish affairs, says :-- "But he Rot the less deserves the thanks of the Eng lish people, who are willing enough to pinch themselves in order to save their fellow-creatures from starving, but have no idea of being taxed that Irish landlords may re ceive their arrears of rent." These are the words of truth and the words of jus tice, and we believe express exactly the feelings of the people of England on the question of Irish distress, and Irish landlordism. SIIARPE' S LONDON MAGAZINE. However much authors may doubt the assertion, it is far more agreeable to us critics to commend than to censure, hence we have observed with pleasure the gradual improvement of Sharpe's London Maga zine, which is now one of the very best of the lighter periodicals. The June number contains a brief de scription of the narrow escape of two Indiamen from the perils of the Goodwin Sands, illustrated by a very beautiful steel engraving, which represents " the Westminster and Claudine ashore near Margate;" the old ballad of the " Cruel Sister," with one of Corbould's fanciful illustrations, in which the incon stant Knight appeals like Macheath dividing his at tentions between the rival beauties; a continuation of the very interesting " History of a Household ;" and the inimitable " Journal of Milton's Wife," as ad mirable an imitation in its way as the:renowned Diary of Mr. Pips. Of a more instructivr character are " Stray Notes on the British Museum and its Lite rary Curiosities ;" " Science on the Glaciers ;" "The Panorama of Pompeii ;" and some interesting reviews on recently published memoirs and travels, " Prince Ruert," " Adalb er t o f P russ i a, " " Central Austra lia," and others. From a very excellent tale, " Ren der to every Man his Due," we extract the following truthful passage : " One of the brightest stars in our literary hemis phere has lately given us his view of the ' battle of life.' It is full of those touches which mark the master-hand; but it is not the battle of life, but at best a slight, though spirited, skirmish at the outposts. The real battlarof: life is fought over the poor man's hearthstone; and the - elements of the conflict are found in his struggles to make his slender means supply the necessaries of life to his dependent family—in the self-denial which abridges even some of these, in order that a trifle may be saved to give the minds of his little ones such culture as may bring them up in the fear of God and man—in the pa tience with which he submits to still fUrther privations, as the wants of those cherished ones grow more nume rous, while no exertion that he can make will enlarge his scanty means; but, on the contrary, the sinews that are beginning to feel the approach of age, or, it may be, are enfeebled by sickness, require a double effort to perform their usual labour, and hint significantly of the time when its recompense will be diminished—in his I strenuous exertions to ward off the approach of that dreaded period which, nevertheless, comes on, slowly but unerringly, like the tide to its mark—in the alter native faintings of spirit and renewals of hope; now giving up all for lost, now taking courage and bracing every energy for the conflict; and often wrestling at once with poverty, with sickness, with bereavement, with the ruin of his best prospects, with the oppressor's wrong and the proud man's contumely, and worse thtji them all, were their strenghth multiplied tenfold, with the dark temptations to tree himself from the crushing burthen by unhallowed means: to east off his integrity; to forfeit his good name among men; to avenge himself, no matter at what cost, on that society which seems to have cast him from its bosom as a viper, and would, therefore, be but fitly repaid by the viper's sting. It is in these circumstances, and such as these, that man really and truly fights the battle of life: frequently con tending for existence in its most literal sense, and often against fearful odds, till the last and most terrific strug gle of all, even that with death, closes the mighty con test. And if it has been fought in the spirit which be seems a good soldier of the cross, there beams on his dying eyelids a vision of bright winged messengers sent to greet the faithful warrior with the wreath of triumph and the palm of victory." THE UNITED SER VICE. One of the most interesting articles in this maga zine is a " History of the Canncn," written by the President of the French Republic ' while a prisoner at Ham, in 1844. Th e t a l e of "Half-pay on the Pave" finishes in a manner likely to suit all lovers of romance. "A Narrative of a Visit to the King of Ashantee," by Captain Wright, "Jetsam and Flot sam, or Gleanings along Shore," in which the wreck and total destruction of a schooner is very graphically described, and various papers of a military or nautical interest are to be found in the June number of this double natured periodical. THE METROPOLITAN. The Metropolitan opens with a very excellent arti cle entitled " Macaulay the Historian," which is at the same time a just panegyric on the historian of James 11., and a criticism on the critic of the Quarterly. TIIE SPORTING REVIEW. The Sporting Review for June, which makes its appearance just after Epsom and just before Ascot, ought to be, without doubt, the most attractive num ber of the year. No such :peculiar attractions are, however, to be met with in the magazine now before us. It contains the usual quantunz of light reading and pleasant information on sporting matters, and nothing more, save one half page on the " State of the Odds," and a few lines o f vers ifi ca ti on en titl e d "Epsom Downs," which have nothing to recommend them. The illustrations consist of an engraving of an excellent picture of Cooper's " Within Range,' and the "Harrier Kennel." The Sporting Review for July will, perhaps, give us some of the recent " favourites." THE BELLE ASS'EMBLEE. The Belle Assembles for June has a portrait of " Madge Wildfire :" the unnatural brilliance of the poor maniac's eyes is well depicted, but produces a painful effect. Elizabeth Youatt contributes one of her graceful papers, entitled " Reminiscences of Folkstone;" a little incident in these reminiscences elicits from a poor man the sadly truthful exclamation, " It's easy for the rich to bid the poor be thankful." The third number of an interesting and instructive series, " Tales of the Passions and Sentiments," con tains a very mournful story. The two mottoes at the head of this tale—" Talent without patient dili gence and strong concentrative energy for its guides, is but an ignis fatuus to lead men's; brains astray," and those lines of L. E. L.'s—' " I dreamed a dream that I had flung a chain Of roses round Love. I awoko and found I had chained Sorrow," foretel the ignoble character of the hero and the un happy history of the heroine. Mrs. Newton Cros land has written some beautiful and complimentary verses to the celebrated American actress, Mrs. Mowatt, which appear in the June number of the ikile Assenzblee. WEEI DAYS.

To Professor Hol loway, Sir—About six years ago certain unfavourable symptoms manifested themselves in my left leg, which proved to be scro fula and King's evil, and at one time there were 15 wounds about my ancle. For four months I was in Cheltenham Hos pital, and there pronounced as incureable; from thence I went to King's College Hospital, there also they failed to effect a cure, and I was obliged to return home a complete cripple; in this state I commenced using your Ointment and Pills which have perfectly cured my leg.

AINSIVORTIL Three chapters of Mr. Ainsworth's brilliant ro mance (in which Henri 111. discovers the existence of the plot which threatens to destroy him, and in which Crichton signalises himself in the bull-fight)— " A Summer IMy's Ramble in the Suburbs of Bou logne," by Mrs. White—a most ridiculous history of the ridiculous family of " the Bilberrys"—the con clusion of Mr. Kingston's spirited tale of the" Pirate's Treasure"—the " Old Bachelor's" grief at leaving his " doomed house," doomed to destruction by a railway company, described by Nicholas Michell, and other interesting papers, are the contents of Ainsworth for June. TAIT. Although the " Colonial Question" in regard to Canada is fraught with peculiar Interest; although the "Modern Vassal" is continued; although the "Legend of Ulster" presents a charm in its very title ; although Donald Campbell is right welcome when he discourses on the subject of "Highland Tradition"—decidedlv the Most attractive paper in the May number of Tait is the one suggested by the "Retirement of Jenny Lind." In this agreeable chapter the history of the Swedish night ingale is recounted in a very amiable spirit and with a very winning manner. The admirers of the glorious songstress will learn ' with pain that there is a report in circulation to the effect that Mademoiselle Jenny Lind v.r.'s induced to retire In consequence of the alarming state of her health. Upon this point Tait observes that—" She is said to be subject to nervous attacks, which affect the head, and increase in an extraordinary degree the action of the heart. It is added, that a sudden access of this complaint on Tuesday, the 3d of May, determined her to quit the stage immediately ; and on the 10th she suddenly and unexpectedly took her leave of the public." More agreeable to the English I people will be the following charming A'NE'CDOTE OF .I , ENNIC LIND. "During her visit to Bath she happened to be walking with a friend, in front of some almshouses, into one of which she entered, and sat down for a moment, osten- sibly to rest herself, but in reality to find some excuse for doing an act of charity to the old woman who lived in it, and whom she had seen feeble and totterino at the door. The old woman, like the rest of her neighbours,- was full of the Swedish Nightingale, whom she bad heard was just then at Bath, entertaining with h er vo i ce all those who were so happy and fortunate saidth as to be able to go to the theatre. 'For myself,' old . woman, I have lived a long time in the world, and 'And would nothing before before I die but to hear Jenny Lind.' make you happy?' inquired her visitor. 'lay, n. I% ; o h u at it would,' answered the old woman • I)u ' t folks such as can't go to the pl a y h ouse , and shall never hear her.' Don't be so sure o f t h at, ' said t o ile gondnatured Jenny; 'sit down, my friend, and listen;' and forthwith she sang, with all her richest and most glorious powers, one of the finest songs she knew. The poor old woman was beside herself with delight, when, after concluding her song , her kind visitor observed, Now, you hare heard Jenny Lind.' If she had given the woman a hundred pounds she could not have aftbrded her half so much pleasure. It was an act of noble charity of the tenderest and most delicate kind. Money it would have been easy for her to give, and money, uo doubt, she did give; but to sit down in an almshouse, and there to call up the enchant ments of her voice, for the amusem ent of an obscure and poor oid woman, was a touching proof of goodness of heart, winch nothing we hav e heard of Jenn y Lind surpasses." The remainder of die contributions are ably written ; and the one on the ,g E m ployment of Emigration" is worthy of an attentive perusal. DOLMAN. In the first contribution , a paper from the editor of Dolman, there are several . descriptive , passages beauti fully and touchingly written. . the little chapter on "Irish Oratory" , a . facetious morceou. `The Catholic at Sea' is continued ; and, with two other articles, the magazine is completed with usual mis cellaneous intelligence. MISCELLANEOUS. The Eclectic Review, inal - lariiCl: on " Constitu tional Fallacies and Unreformed Abuses," argues ably in favour a an extension of the Elective suffrage. The People's Journal gives a portrait of Charles Mackay, accompanied by an interesting article, partly a biography and partly a commendatory criti cism of the poet and his poetry, in which it is truth fully said that while other poets have looked for fame rather to the succeeding than to their own generation, Mackay embodies the idea of the present, and in the present finds his reward. The author of " Voices from the Crowd" will always, and deservedly, be a favourite with the crowd, hence his portrait and his history are quite in place in the People's Journal. The twenty-third part of the Land we Live In de picts with pan and pencil, in its usually excellent style, " North Derbyshire and Dove Dale." Charles Knight's interesting studies of Shakspere are con tinued in the fifth number of the National Library, which promises to be a yet more valuable work than the recently finished series of shilling volumes. Apropos of those same shilling volumes, we find we have p asse d over with unmerited neglect three of the latter numbers, which were devoted to " Paris ; its Historical Build ings, and its Revolution s ," a wor k very appropr i ate i n these times, when Paris is the observed of all ob servers. The continuation of the Pictorial History , brings us to the "Perpl ex iti es o f Mi n i s ters in 18.34, " an incident by no means peculiar to that individual year.

ACCIDENT ON VIE RIVER LEA.—TWO LIVES LOST. —On Sunday evening an accident occurred on the river Lea, near Cla,pton, by wliioh two young men lost their lives. It appears that six young men, all of whom are employed at Perry's Gazette-office, in the City, engaged a small boat at the Jolly Angler's, adjoining the river Lem, for the purpose of fishing. They had not proceeded far, when by some accident, which is at present unex plained, the boat upset, and they were all immersed into the water. Two of them succeeded in clinging to the boat until assistenca was rendered, two were drowned, and the other two swam to the shore. The names of the unfortunate youths who lost their lives are, Benjamin Oliver, of Murray-street, Hoxton, and Charles Sander son, residing in the neighbourhood of Ball's-pond.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news_ paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put jut the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Lerough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High rate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to;the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an II s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair In abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact ..-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w traps on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mare it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the lair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing ,lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the grown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an lour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on ehildren's heads in a few apppllcations. If used on Infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See Anaphlet of testimonials.

In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an other ; but in onr transactions, to apply principles of such sterling value and universal import as must prove, in the fullest sense of the term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may be effected the following outline of our Bevel, yet well appreciated business system, will readily show. POSSESSING LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS In most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain gures, from which no deviation is allon cit. These facts, together with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as have been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item " Clothing," of not less than 40 per ceni., as the following brief price list will testify to some extent : BEADY MADE. s. d.

HYAM, Proprietor. don. A 11 I A (1 E. NI One half the world are desolately single, and the other opposing them married, questioualfly contented. Diffidence, or a sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bltter. the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry; but the , truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, rid broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour andjustice demand that health should form a 2 item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises; concern you, procure Dr. CIILVERWELL'S little eEmoißs "On Single a nd Married Life, pub. in 2 vols., ls. each (by post, in stamps, ls. G d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining times. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but ter the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the exnpyrical trash put forth on ittle the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the ago. Furthermore, two other publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by Post 15. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and &void," and " How to bo Nappy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto--to live after nature's laws—and to keep always t may S e t Strand v n b d a e l h; conferred r l direct f , F 1 Fleet wtkp o street spte or Ma the " sunny side of the way."

TAT TERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The betting touched upon all the great events at Ascot, and led to several changes. Commencing with the Queen's Vase, we may note considerable improvement in Canczou, against whom the highest offer at the close was 5 to 4; 9 to 1 was taken that she wins it and the Empe ror's Plato. Essedarius opened first favourite for the Ascot Stakes, but subsequently gave precedence to St. Antonio, who was backed freely at 3 to 1; no others were in force. There was not much done on the Triennial Stakes, but the two leading favourites were in steady favour; Nunnykirk, who was not included in our list of arrivals, goes for this race, and was backed for it at 6 and Bto I, to about 1001. Van Tromp at one time had the call cf Chanticleer for the Emperor's Plate, but re ceded to 5 to 2, the gray obtaining the premiership; 5 to 1 was taken that he wins it and The Flying Dutchman the St. Leger. Cossack was backed for a good deal of money at 4 to 1, at which the taker wanted to go on. Nothing quotable was done on the St. Leger. Some business was done towards the close on the Derby, Wil liam the Conqueror, The Italian, and Moultan being most in request.
