This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and 'enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, a; has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by . the ordinary medical' practitioner. The proverbial and well knOwn rapacity of Unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients ' has been .en couraged and aroused by this supineness,_ on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of se doing, they were further• convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, en perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, whe perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporaslily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing . this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. lie will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-foli relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous conseluences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

" the various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapacity, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated iu this cautiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, generally misunderstand, and treated upon principles correspondingly erroneous and super ficial, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, •r where debility has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. '1 he evils to which this book adverts are ex ensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guar. dians, Heads of - Families, and especially of Publ c Schools, is con fided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautiens this work is intended to convey Not only are the most delicate forms of gene ranive debility neglected by the family physician, but hey tequire for their s .fe management the exclusive study of a life entirely ab. stracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other de partments of the profession) attentively concentrated in the daily ..udlong.continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of s xual infirmities. If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate, and secret in clulg.n e in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflection and extensive prac tical experience."—Planet. " The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend ; and in no shape can be c molted with greater safety and secresy than in Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence —its erog ess—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but alas! for human nature, with aelicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil without affording a remedy. It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and phy. sical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the pas sions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion - afraid almost to en counter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral c iurage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying now often fond parents are deceived by the outward phy sical appearance of their youthful offspring; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derangement of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, ate often ascribed to wrong causes, and instead of being the natural results of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice alike destructive to the mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Mes. see • ger. Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the ex pression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exceptio i in any instance where the public, and not the isolated and exclusi , e members of the profession are the parties ad dressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, ~nd will demand that medical works for public study should be devoid of that mysterious techni cality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its awn ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects xe believe ge nerally, yet very strangely, neglected be the medical attendant, and requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and thssurgery of the eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of study. The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon un bridled sensualism. No human being can to the worse for its perusal. To multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style; and is evidently the production of a mind long and practically conversant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organisation."—Magnet. 'f he security of happiness in the marriage state is the chief anxiety of all ; but many dread entering upon the wedded union, through a secret fear of unfitness for toe discharge of matrimonial obligations.

On merchandise, paying 30 per cent. in 1833 (now 26) it will be 23 per cent; on that paying 50 per cent. (now 38) it will be 29 per cent.; on all the articles paying a specific duty exceeding 20 per cent. ad valorem 7-10ths of the ex cess is to be deducted. The effect of these several diminutions of duties have been thus illustrated : Th duty upon woollens is 50 per cent, of the value thereof at the place of exportation. Four-tenths of the excess of 20 per cent. having been already deducted, woollens now pay 38 per cent. Three-tenths to be taken off' on the first of January next, will leave the duty at 29 per cent, ; and on and after the Ist of July, 1842, the duty, under existing laws will be 20 per cent. upon the value of woollens. This example will serve for other articles subject to ad valorem duties. The assessment under the State Tax law of Mary land, it is estimated will reach above 200 millions of dollars, which at the rate of taxation will produce about 400,000 dols. The amount which it is necessary to raise to pay interest on the public debt, &c., is 600,000 dols. The Merchants' Bank of Baltimore has declared a half yearly dividend of three per cent. The Western Bank of Baltimore has declared a divi dend of two and a half per cent. for the last half year. The Baltimore and Rapnahannock Steam Packet Com pany has declared a dividend of seven per cent. for the last year. The Legislature of Maryland, by a most decided vote, have avowed their determination to maintain the faith of the State. A resolution was introduced on Friday to re peal the Tax Law, which was voted down, 56 to 21. The Philadelphia Papers mention, as a gratifying evidence of commercial activity in at least one article of trade, that 14,400 barrels of flour were shipped from that port during the past week. PRICE OF FLOUR AND GRAIN.—At Philadelphia c inst. Flour, 6 dols. 12c. to 6 dols. 25c. for good brands for family use ; Wheat, 1 dol. 30c. ; Corn, yellow, 51c. to.s2ic. ; white, 49c. to 50c.—At Baltimore, Ist, Howard street Flour, 5 dols. 871 e. ; City Mills, 6 dols. Wheat, 1 dol. 28c. to 1 dol. 35c.

Corn, new and old yellow, 60c. to 62c. ; new and old white, 58c. to 60c. _ _ . A meeting of the " Democratic" party was held in Phi ladelphia on Thursday evening on the subject of the State debt, which was pretty numerously attended. The pro ceedings, however, were far from harmonious, and but little consequence seems to be attached to the meeting. The doctrines advanced in the resolutions doubtless speak the sentiments of but a few reckless spirits, and will be scouted by the mass - of the party in whose name they are issued. The resolutions declare, in sub stance, that the present State Debt was contracted without the sanction of the Constitution, and fir pur poses at variance with the legitimate designs of Go vernment—that the people of the Commonwealth are under no moral or legal obligation to pay the debt, and that " they would be recreant to every princi ple that should govern freemen" if they consented to bear the burden of taxation for that purpose. It was further; resolved, that they would unitedly resist by all lawful means the collection of the present or any future tax that may be levied to pay the principal or interest of the State debt—and that " it is the duty of the Legis lature at the earliest possible period of its session to make provision for the payment out of the money in the Treasury, of all persons to whom the Commonwealth is indebted for manual labour, and then immediately to pass over to Commissioners, Trustees, or As signees, all the property of the Commonwealth, reserving such only as is absolutely . essential to the transaction of the legitimate business of Go vernment, and to provide for the equal distribution of the proceeds of such property among the so-called State creditors, in proportion to their respective claims ; and to provide further, that all claims against the State, existing prior to such transfer, shall be claims only upon the fund in the hands of said Trustees, Commissioners, or Assigness." The last resolve calls upon the people of the State, in order to compel the banks to resume specie payments, to receive bank-notes at their specific value only, from and after the first of February next. ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) DERBY, JAN. 21.—A public meeting of the inhabitants of the county of Derby was held this day (Friday) at the County-hall, to congratulate her Majesty, on the birth of an heir apparent to the Throne. The requisi tion to the High Sheriff to convene the meeting was signed by the Magistrates and others. The High She riff took the chair. After a few preliminary remarks by the Chairman, the Rev. A. Curzon came forward to propose the address, which was seconded by W. Evans, Esq., M.P. An attempt was made to carry the address without the following addition, but it failed. A work ing man stood forward to propose the addition. After the document was read considerable excitement prevailed among the aristocratic party, and they finally agreed to withdraw the address, and the High Sheriff vacated the chair. A working man was then appointed as chairman, and the address, with the addition, was then put and carried unanimously. I understand that after the Chair man had vacated, the gentry and the Sheriff went into the Grand Jnry-room, and there passed their address with locked doors. The following is the additional clause •' At At the same time we cannot but acquaint your Ma jesty, that thousands of virtuous women, your Majesty's subjects are passing through the like natural extremities upon beds of straw, without even a pillow whereon to lay their heads, or sustenance to support them; that starvation and misery are pervading the whole land; and we attribute this state of things to Class Legislation, from which have sprung the abominable Corn monopoly, the iniquitous Poor-law, and all other oppressive laws, which have reduced the people to their present wretched and miserable condition; and therefore, we pray your Majesty to instruct your Ministers to pass a law for the total and immediate repeal of all enactments that have a tendency to rob the millions for the benefit of the few, and also that every male inhabitant, 21 years of age, untainted with crime, may have a vote in the election of representatives in the Commons House of Parliament, and that all such votes be given by Ballot. The Rev. T. Sing, Catholic priest, was appointed to present the address to her Majesty. LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 1842. CHURCH OF ENGLAND LIFE AND FIRE ASSURANCE INSTITUTION.

The principles upon which the business of this office is con ducted, is to afford temporary Loans to persons assuring their lives with the Company, upon terms calculated with reference to the amount of the Assurance effected, and the nature of the security offered for their repayment. This mode of employing the capital of the Association, is the adoption of means for augmenting the number of lives assured, and of greatly in creasing the profits beyond those of a Life Assurance Company only. And this will be found one of the must valuable prin ciples of Assurance, on account of its capability of being ap plied immediately and permanently to the benefit of the As sured himself, whilst living, as well as to others after decease. Individuals possessing real or personal property, Officers in the Army or Navy, Clergymen, Professional men, Merchants, Tradesmen, and persons of respectability and character, may, if assured with this Association, obtain advances for periods very ing from Three Months to any other agreed period, in amounts of 501. and upwards, upon either real or personal security, to be approved of by the Directors, including the security of Policies effected by parties with this Association, according to their value at the time of the Loan. • --- The — Directors are persuaded that by combining confidence with caution, and carrying fairly and liberally into effect this comprehensive system of Loan in connexion with Life Assur ance, they will not only consult the permanent prosperity of the Association, but at the same time rentier the Institution signally bensacial to the great mass of the community. Having Thus premised the General objects of the Associa tion, it is necessary briefly to state, THE REGULATIONS OF THE COMPANY. A Deed of Settlement will be forthwith prepared for regu lating, the affairs of the Association, and for limiting the re sponsibility of the Shareholder, until either an Act of Parlia ment or a Charter may be obtained ; such Deed to be settled and approved by Counsel. The Capital of the Association shall consist of Five Hundred Thousand Pounds, divided into 20,000 Shares, of 25/, each. The Deposit is 21. 10s. per Share; which, it is expected, will be sufficient to obviate the necessity of any further call ; and Interest at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum will be al lowed upon all Deposits from the time of payment into the Bank of the Association. The Accounts shall be audited yearly. The original Directors and Auditors shall remain in office five years ; after which time Three Directors and one Auditor will retire annually ; but will be eligible for re-election. Any vacancy which may occur in the interim, either among the Directors or Auditors, will be filled up by the remaining Directors. a• ,i,.••••• re A Special General Meeting of Proprietors shall be convened by public Advertisement in the month of July, 1847, and afterwards annually, to receive a Report of the progress of the business of the Company, and an account of such other matters as the Directors may deem it proper to submit to them. The Qualification of voting by Proprietors at every Special and General Meeting shall be according to the following scale, viz.:— The Holder of 15 Shares shall be entitled to One Vote. 22 23 24 25 ... 25 ... Two Votes. ... 50 ... ... Three Votes. ... 100 ... ... Four Votes. And an additional Vote for every subsequent Fifty Shares. But no Proprietor shall have a Vote in virtue of any Shares unless such Shares shall have been at least Six Months in his or her name, previous to such Special or General Meeting. Assurances may be effected for 50/. and upwards, not only on the lives of persons resident in the United Kingdom, but also on the lives of parties resident anywhere within and even beyond the limits of Europe, including Foreigners of all nations at Rates proportionate to the nature of the risk. To Naval and Military Officers, at home and abroad, every facility will be given for effecting Assurances on their lives. Ladies and others, to whom it may be inconvenient to ap pear at the Office, will be visited at their residences by a Me dical Officer of the Institution. The business of this Office also embraces Assurances en Survivarships ; tke granting and purchasing of Annuities, im mediate, deferred, or Survivorship ; the purchase of Contingent and Reversionary Property; the endowment of Widows and Children ; and the advancing of Money, on Annuity, Mort age, and other available Securities. The annexed Rates of Premium are as moderate as consis tentj with perfect security. They are constructed on the prin ciplo. of affording to the Assured the option of either securing 32 33 34 35 a fixed Sum, or of having it increased by a participation in the Profits Assurances may also be effected by a single payment, by a payment for a number of years certain, or by any other mode as may meet the views of the Assured : and the Premiums may be paid either yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly, at pro portionate Rates. Attendance wll be given daily at the Office, from Ten to Four o'clock, where Assurances may be effected, and Loan granted without delay. No Charge will be made on parties assuring, under the head of entrance-money. admission- fee, er otherwise, beyond the Stamps for the Policy. Ai the most scrupulous care will be taken at the time of ef fecting the ,A saurance, isi making all proper inquiries, no As surance, when mice completed, will afterwards be questioned or disputed, except in cases of manifest fraud or misrepresentation. Policies assigned for bona fide considerations will not become void by death from suicide, duelling, or the hands of justice ; and in cases where Policies shall not have been so assigned, a discretionary power, founded upon the most liberal coniidera tion, is vested in the Directors to return to the Widow or Chil dren of the assured the whole, or any part of the Premiums paid. All Claims on the Company in respect of Assurances will be paid within three calendar months after satisfactory proof of the death of the party, or immediately after such proof ou the allowance of discount.

AMERICAN NEWS LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING. By the arrival of the Cambridge, Capt. Bar stow, we have received New York Papers to the 4th inst., being four days later than the dates brought by the steamer. The Cambridge has made a good voyage of 17 days. The commer cial news by this arrival is not important, the first day of the new year being kept partially as a holiday ; but business on the 3d is stated to be rather brisk and improving ; there is no new quotation of the exchange upon London, but a large business has been done for the next packet. The probability that the President's pro ject of finance would be adopted appeared to decrease every day ; part of his poli tical friends were opposed to some of the heads of the measure, and, between luke warm friends and hostile enemies, it was greatly feared that nothing would be done in the settle- ;Tient of it in this session. The debate on the question of referring the tariff to a committee of manufactures generally, or to that of ways and means, still dragged its weary length along, the point having been discussed for three weeks. A reduction of the ad valorem duties bad taken place on the Ist of January, which, it was hoped, would give a lift to some branches of commerce. The opening of a new railroad from Boston to Albany had taken place on the 28th ult. ; it is said to be the most perfect of the railroads of the United States. There is news from Texas and Mexico of a later date than before, but it is not very impor tant. The capture of the Texan Santa Fe expe dition is confirmed. NATIONAL DEBT.—The Toronto Patriot speaks of the General Government of the United States as "so utterly shattered in credit, as to be unable to negotiate more than half of a loan of twelve millions of dollars, ordered last season, even at a high rate of interest." Pretty fair for the subject of a Government which owes four thou sand million dollars, and pays an annual interest of 120,000,000 dol. One year's interest on the British debt, at 3 per cent., per annum, would pay off the principal of the American debt, though it were eight times as large as it is at present. The reason why the proposed loan of 12,000,000 dol. was not all taken, had no con nection with the national credit (which could not be better), but was attributable—first, to the scarcity of money ; and, secondly, to the fact that the stock had but a short time to run. The rate of interest which it bears, is 6 per cent. ; not a " high rate" in this country. No other securities bearing a similar rate of interest, and running the same length of time (three.years), would have sold so well. It is not, perhaps, strange that foreigners should be misled by the cry of " Bankrupt Treasury," which is sure to be raised here in high party times, for political effect. But if they reflect a moment they will perceive the absurdity of the imputation. With a population and resources double what they were at the close of the last war, our debt is but a tithe of what it was then. In 1816 it was 127,000,000 dol., and there were those among us who said it never could be paid. Yet in eighteen years it was entirely extinguished. Such being the case there is reason to hope we shall be able to pay the twelve or fifteen millions which we now owe. When will Great Britain pay the four thousand millions which she owes? THE NORTH-EASTERN BOUNDARY SURVEY. —We learn, from the Bangor Whig, that Major Graham, who has been employed in the arduous service of surveying the North-Eastern Boundary line, passed through Ban gor on Tuesday, on his way to Washington. He has had, during the last summer, about one hundred men in his employ. The trees upon the line have been removed, on the tops of the hills, to a space of about one hundred feet, and lessening in width down to the valleys, and the whole line cleared and bushed. The survey has been continued a few miles above the Grand Falls, very near which the line is found to rue. The whole line has been found very crooked, and the new, running with the straight line, takes in several houses in the country be low the Grand Falls, and in some instances portions of the cleared fields of the farmers there. Some of them would at times get exasperated at the proceedings, but most of them were rather calm. About sixty miles of the line, through an unbroken forest, still remains to be surveyed. AN ATTEMPT OF J. G. BENNETT TO INDICT M. M. NOAH, M. Y. BEACH, AND N. T. ELDRIDQE, FOR AL LEGED LIBELS IN CALLING HIM " A LIAR, CHEAT, FORGER, AND EXTORTIONER."—We see it stated in the Sun, and we have heard it from other sources, that on Thursday last the editor of the Herald made an:attempt to indict the above named gentlemen for calling him in their newspapers the aforesaid hard names. The Grand Jury threw out the complaint upon the ground, as the Sun says, of " his infamously bad character for truth and veracity, one witness having sworn positively he would not believe Bennett under oath." MEXICAN DECREE OF DUTIES.—The Department of State gives publicity to a decree, signed by the President Santa Ana, giving information of the repeal of the laws passed by the Mexican Government on the 25th Novem ber and the 27th of December, 1839, and the 23d of April and 9th of June, 1840, :raising to 15 per cent. the duties on consumption of foreign goods in that Republic. DISASTERS.—The crew and passengers of the English ship Erin, from Londonderry for Savannah, arrived here in the Spanish brig Campechano, the ship having sprung a leak and foundered off Abaco. The British bark Glengarry, of Glasgow, M`Donald, from St. Thomas, was totally lost on the Grand Turk, on the night of Dec. 3d.—Crew saved. The schooner Wave, of Wells, Me., reported ashore 24th Dee., came off 29th, but slightly damaged. The hull of the Antaces, from Belfast for Salem, which went ashore near the same place, was sold 27th, for 360 dols. MISSING VESSEL.—The schooner Two Sons, of Bel fast, about 60 tons, Captain Gordon, sailed thence on a fishing voyage just before the October gale, and has not been beard from. She had a crew of nine men, and was owned by C. Gordon, Esq. Faost FLORIDA.—We learn from the Savannah Re publican of the 25th inst., that the Indians made their ap pearance on the morning of the 20th inst. within three miles of Mandarin, near the St. Augustine road, burned a house and murdered a whole family, consisting of a Mr. Hartley, wife, and child. They were destroyed in the flames. Mr. La Costa was also killed, three houses burned, and several negroes carried off, one of whom es caped. Col. Riley returned to Pilatka on the 21st from his expedition to the head waters of the St. John's. He had discovered no Indians. Col. Worth has just re turned from his visit to the Everglades, not having found any traces. A TOWN DESTROYED.--Mr. Walsh, in one of his let ters, says that the town of Komorn, on the island of Schutt, in Hungary, at the confluence of the Waag and the Danube, was at the end of last month visited by an earthquake, which shook down all the timber houses, and severely damaged other buildings. In consequence of this disaster, upwards of 5,000 people aro said to be ruined, and left without a shelter. The general loss is estimated at an immense amount. FIRE AT MEDINA.—We learn from the Agent of Pomeroy and Co.'s Express that there was a destructive fire at Medina, Orleans county, on Friday morning last. Several stores and dwellings were burnt, including the Eagle Tavern. Total loss estimated nt 25,080 dollars. No insurance on the Eagle, which was valued at about 10,000 dols. The stores and dwellings were partially in sured.—Albany Argus. HAVANA, DEC. 15, 1841.—0 n the 9th instant the In tendente published an order for the suppression of eleven of the nineteen monasteries existing in the Island, and sequestration for the benefit of the State of the entire Church property, (excepting that of the nunneries,) amounting to several millions. For the support of the monks he has assigned them a small pen sion, and also a fixed sum to be paid annually by the State to different churches for the main tenance of religious worship. The begging orders are prohibited asking alms in the street, as they would thereby have an advantage over the other orders whose property has been sequestrated. Those monks who secularise are to have a pension one-fourth greater than those who retain their habit. All the sacred vessels are to be distributed among the poor churches. This measures is looked upon as very beneficial to the Island, as this class o priests were like a wen upon our society—possessed of immense wealth and great influence they were capable of the basest ac tions, and were great fomentors of vice in all its shapes. Of these 19 convents, seventeen are in this city, containing 134 monks and novices—but three convents are left, and as their rents are taken away, most of the monks and all the novices will secularize. Another ; measure in agitation by our present Intendente is a re- I duetion of the Tariff. He has appointed a commission to take the subject into consideration, and has invited through the press, the merchants and all who feel inte rested in the subject to address him their views. It is rumoured that he has already decided on the abolition of duties on exports. These alterations, however, will not probably go into operation before the middle, and perhaps end of next year. Sugars continue in fair de mand at 48a 5 9 rs. No news as yet. Coffee is sought for, for the New Orleans market. Rates hold at 8a 8i for fair green. Exchange 2a 3 per cent. prem. on Now York ; Boston 2 per cent. prem. FROM TOBASCO.—An arrival at Now Orleans, brings accounts to about the Ist December. On the 30th day of November a vessel arrived at Tobasco from Vera Cruz, bringing a messenger charged by President Santa Ana with a special mission to the State of Tobasco, to assure General Sentamanat, that Federalism was com pletely reinstated throughout Mexico, inviting him to return to the Mexican family, and appointing him Go vernor and Commander-in-Chief of Tobasco. Several valuable presents from Santa Ana to Sentamanat, were brought with the mission. A sort of election was there upon held, when 8,000 were declared to be in favour of joining Mexico and having Sentamanat for Governor. Cocoa was declared to be admissible into Vera Cruz free of duty, and commerce was to be facilitated and encou raged. So Tobasco is again one of the States of Mexico. TnE TARIFF.—An important change takes place in the duties on imports, to-day. In conformity with the Compromise Act; on all articles paying an advalorem duty of more than 28 per cent. a further reduction of 3-10ths of the excess is to be made. Thus the duty on merchandise paying in 1833 25 per cent. and at present DEFERRED ANNUITIES. The best and most varied provision for after life hitherto of fered—£2 12s. per annum (Is. per week) at 20, will at 65 give the policy-holder the choice of an annuity of £47 16s. 6d., or £349 1 ls. cash, or policy at death of £466. Similar ad vantages at 50, 55, and 60—Two-thirds payments lent at any time, and Two-thirds returned in case of premature death.

Applications for the remaining Shares and for -Agencies, to be made at the Office, where Prospectuses, and all further in formation, may be obtained. GEO. HENRY BROWN, Snperinteuding Director. The following Is the PROSPECTUS already published : E'xperience has established the valise and importance of Life Assurance to all classes of the community; and the prosperity attending the institutions of this nature, which have already been founded, incontestibly proves the soundness of the princi ples upon which its calculations are based. But the system of Life Assurance, however valuable to the members of the community in general, as affording the means of either entirely providing for, or of greatly enlarging the re sources of their families after death, may yet be regarded as more immediately and especially beneficial to those persons who are wholly dependent upon their own exertions for sup. port, or who have only a life-interest in the property they pos sess. It is valuable also, inasmuch as it enabler individuals with fixed incomes, (from whatever source derived, whether from Government or other situations, or from pensions or an nuities for lives), to perpetuate them to their representatives —offers entire indemnity to creditors against loss by the demise of debtors—secures the continuance of leases determinable upon lives, and renewable by fine—attaches responsibility to personal security, thereby assisting individuals to obtain such temporary aid, by way of loan, as may be necessary for conducting their business, or the fulfilment of their engagements—anticipating, and altogether providing against the inconvenienee and injury often occasioned by the withdrawal of capital from business on the death of a partner. In short, it is available to persons in every profession, trade, office, and circumstance; and, under all the modifications, and constantly occurring varieties of con tingent interests, dependent upon the duration of life. Nevertheless, strange to say, but very few persons have hi.. therto availed themselves of the inestimable benefits which Life Assurance is so well adapted to. bestow—their number being only about 88,000 out of the vast population of the United Kingdom. It is, therefore, evident that an ample field remains open for the exertions of a new Company of a similar charac ter. Moreover, it must be evident that if such Company can, irrespective of the advantages usually proffered by the Societies already established, and without risk to the interests either of the Proprietors or of the Assured, propose other benefits highly useful and important to both, it must safely and successfully enter into competition with the existing Institutions with full confidence in the support of the public. Of the large profits which have been derived by the Share nolders in some of the principal Assurance Companies, an idea may be formed by the perusal of the following short Table, which has been compiled from the most authentic sources; and, from this, it must be manifest, that a Company which, in addition to the ordinary business of Life Assurance, embraces also the business of a Loan Bank to the Assured, will, if ably conducted, offer to the Capitalist a secure and productive in vestment, without trouble or the danger of pecuniary loss.

In the first Report of the Inspectors of Prisons is to be found a singular instance of long abstinence from food, terminated, however, at last by death, as Cavanagh's would have been had he carried out his system of fasting to the last extreme. Under the head of " Ipswich Borough Gaol" the following anecdote is recorded :—" There has been one death in the present year under such extraor dinary circumstances, that I venture to cite the case, al though not immediately in connection with the subject of the Report. William Casey, a native of Ireland, was tried March 9, 1835, for the murder of his child, and was acquitted on the ground of insanity. He then manifested a determination to destroy himself; and every care was taken to prevent him. He then resolved to effect it by starvation, and refused all food. The first ten days he was without a drop of water. On the 11th day he drank a quart. Then he went for several days without food, and drank a quantity of water again. Food in every enticing variety was placed and left before him, and carpets were laid in the approaches to his cell in order that he might be watched. He was frequently seen to crawl out of bed and smell the food, and then return. His wife once attempted to put a strawberry into his mouth, and he would have strangled her had ho not been prevented. Ho lived on in this way, taking nothing but water, except on one occasion, during the last five days of his life, when he took a little rum. He died on the Ist (of August. During the whole period of his confine ment he always stood, and was never known to sit down when not in bed. His violence was so great as to pre clude the possibility of the surgeon's administering nu triment to him otherwise than by the natural channel." The man named Deschamps, whose arrest at Toulon we mentioned the other day, has been sentenced to transportation by the Court of Assizes for the Bouches-du-Rhone, as being ono of the chiefs of the late Republican conspiracy of La Villette, near Marseilles. By order of the Minister of War, considerable works of defence are to be undertaken at Cherbourg during the present and five following years. A credit of eight millions of francs is allottedfor this urpose, without comprising the expenio of mal" bary buik a ngs. b //- ~~~~ MORNING SUN. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS• FROM THE MORWINO PAPERS OR SATURDAY. TIMES.—We transcribe, in another column, from a. Morning Contemporary, what it justly calls "the afflict ing. intelligence ' respecting the Niger Expedition, and which is considered to be the official anti-slavery account of the matter. The result of that enterprise has been sadly correspondent with what all reasonable men must have augured, and what we ourselves have alway pre dicted. Three vessels have gone about 320 miles up the Niger and Chadda, and have come down again. A mo del farm some 300 miles from the coast has been bought, I stocked, and abandoned ; treaties have been made with the two negro Princes of Eboe and Iddala for the aboli tion of the slave trade and of human sacrifices, And then they have been left to their own practices ; and this at an expense of health and life which is not indeed dis tinctly stated, but may well be divined from the account given by our Contemporary, to whose statements we will add an extract from a letter written onboard the Ethiope on the 21st of October:— "We entered the Nun on - the 10th" inst., and proceeded up the river the next morning, and fell in with the Albert on the evening of the 13th inst. at Stirling Island, about 24 miles below Eboe. We found her in a worse state than the Wilberforce ; ull hands down with fever but Drs. William, Stanger, a scientific gentleman, a marine, the boatswain's mate, and a servant. Captain Trotter' very weak, Captain Bird Allen (who is since dead) very low ; no engineers; Dr. Stanger was endeavouring to work the engine the best way he could. We sent our head engi neer on board, and the Albert followed the Ethiope to the coast. Capt. Becroft then went on board the Albert, and took her to Fernando Po. The people at the model farm, including its manager, Mr. Carr, were all sick, and have been brought down by the Albert." So it would appear that, had it not been for the gene rous assistance afforded them voluntarily by the vessel of a private merchant—an assistance which the planners of the expedition had not provided, and on which they had no right to calculate— it is but too likely that we never should have seen again either the Albert or any part of its enterprising crew. Such would have been— rather such has been—the end of this unhappy affair, projected and announced with so much Exeter-hall en thusiasm, among speeches from Prince Albert, Sir ellobert Peel, Lord Howick, and Sir Fowell Buxton ; letters of sympathy from Illustrious and Right Re verend personages ; promises of civilisation, and trade, and agriculture, and alliances with native chiefs, and missionary success, and pride, and in-' dignation. It has ended in nothing strange or unex pected—nothing but what might have been and was foretold, if its projectors would have listened to reason —nothing but the sacrifice of the lives of our country men. We are far from wishing to cast any slur on the generous feelings of those distinguished personages who gave the support of their names to this enterprise. They had other things to think of than to examine its imprac ticable details. It had a generous object, and came to them supported by respectable names ; and so they lent it the weight of their characters ; yet still it does sug gest feelings not favourable to the slap-dash, rhetorical, showy meetings to which the people crowd to be amused, and to clap their hands, and to hear fine sentences, and to give their guineas for objects which neither they nor any of the fluent gentlemen who entertain them know anything about. Good enough amusements to them, but death to others, on whom it falls to carry out, at their own risk, and at the expense of their own proper lives, what these Societies talk of so glibly, and listen to so complacently. We confess it is with little patience that we hear smooth gentlemen, borne luxuri ously along on the easy gale of popular enthusiasm, taking full advantake of the opportunity given them to display in full dress their costly sensibilities, but mean while quite forgetting to enquire what is the real worth of the scheme they advocate—what the dangers to which they are are urging other less ornamental, but perhaps not less valuable, members of society than themselves—what prospect ofadvantage,what are the warnings of experience, what the opinion of those practical men whose opi nion is really worth having. But this is the order of the day, and must be borne, it seems, in spite of its quackery. Everybody must have a finger in ' everything ; and everything must appeal to and be managed by every body ; an the consequence is, that instead of sober forethought and knowledge, and calm chastised deter mination, our undertakings have to be recommended by eloquent appeals and piercing statements, and fluency and clap-traps for the ladies. Instead of a scheme quietly calculated by one or two or three sober and earnest men, prepared themselves to take part in the dangers they re - commend, and unfettered by any necessity of approving: it to the imaginations of an audience, we have such wild, ill-considered, showy projects as everybody can embrace at a glance, with nothing but novelty and a popular ob ject to recommend them. Is it wonderful that those who heedlessly employ their talents in supporting such schemes should find now and then, what we hope they will now realize, that they were taking shares in a most heavy responsibility, affecting the lives of their fellow creatures, while they thought of nothing more , than making an impression on the fair auditory whirl sur rounded them ? HERALD.—The Niger Expedition is at an end. Sir Powell Buxton has had his say; his philanthropic scheme has been fairly tried ; Government has " led and felt the way," as Lord Brougham recommended, into the in terior of Africa by its great natural highway ; 100,000/. more have been expended by the British nation on what is termed African civilisation ; and the establishment of factories and the acquisition of land have been attempted; the result is sad and mournful disapointment. On the 20th of August last the three fine steamers, the Soudan, the Wilberforce, and the Albert, built for the pur pose, commenced the ascent of the Quorra ; ere six days had elapsed they received warning of the fate which impended over them ; death was already hovering about his victims. Before a month had closed, one vessel—the Soudan—was converted intot an hospital for the sick, and compelled to descend from the regions of disease to the open sea. Two more days had not gone by until one—the Wilberforce—of the re maining ascending steamers had likewise to turn its head down the stream with a dying cargo ; thirteen days longer did the Albert persevere, but in vain • the " belt of malaria,"—the boulevart of death is perhaps the more appropriate description—Lord Brougham's in geniotts'suggestion—was not to be passed through; and after forty-six days of dreadful suffering from the commencement of the ascent, the Albert was 8 .4 4 compelled to return, and the expedition was baffled by disease and death. The three steamers, with the surviving commanders, officers, and men—how small a minority of those who left England we do not stop to detail—are now gasping and inhaling the purer at mosphere of the Ascension Island and Clarence Cove. They will doubtless, in due course, record the melan choly detail of this last sacrifice to the schemes of dreamers,—to the worst, because the most injudicious, friends of Africa. The Albert, under Captain Trotter's gallant command, ascended between 50 and 60 miles beyond the confluence of the Chadda, and the Niger, and about 320 miles from the sea. The ascent to that point; the selection of a spot for a model farm, never to be cut. tivated, a little above the confluence ' • the purchase of treaties with the rulers of Eboe and Iddah for the suppres sion of the slave trade, which legitimate commerce had previously driven from the Bight of Biafra and the months of the Quorra; and the abolition of human sacrifices—. treaties which will be implemented, so far as the inter nal traffic is concerned, only by the pressure of personal influence ;—and a better acquaintance with the course of the Quorra and the countries through i t flows —such are the costly achievements of t time had assigned expe dition, to which continental extravat: the subjection of the African continent to British domi nion. Entirely failed the expedition has not, because its precise objects it would be difficult to state—it was, per haps, to be regarded as a pioneering attempt—though in that respect the equally disastrous enterprise of Laird and Oldfield had rendered it unnecessary. The know ledge gained will, doubtless. be a contribution, however small and infinitesimal, to the information of Europe. But that the expedition is a disappointment in the most mournful and desolating shape, cannot be denied by its promoters, and their dupe, Lord John Russell. Malaria and death have practically refuted the scheme 'of the African Colonisation Society. If the civilisation of Africa depend on European expeditions up the Quorra, that great continent is destined to remain in darkness, in desolation, and paganism. ABSTRACTION of DEAD BODIES. On Friday a meeting of the Directors and Guardian* of the poor of the parish of St. Marylebone was held at the workhouse. in the New-road. Mr. Rathbone in the Chair. The report of the Committee appointed to investigate as to the disposal of certain bodies of paupers who had died in the workhouse, and had been sent out to various Anatomical Schools for the purpose of dissection, under the orders of Dr. Somerville, the In spector, was brought up and unanimously con fi rme d, After seine unimportant business was disposed of, Mr. TitomE said that, pursuant to the direction of the Board, he attended at the office of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, Whitehall, for the purpose a giving evidence before the Commissioners appointed by the Secretary of State for the Home DePaYf tmen t to inves tigate the charges brought by Mr. - Poster against dm Administrator under the Anatow,y Act. The inves tigation was strictly private., and witness was ext. mined separately. liis evidotace went simply to speak to the identity of the Report of the Committee of that Board, and to prove that it contained a correct copy of the cer tificates and registry of the ground where the bodies had boon buried at Globe-fields. He was questioned very strongly as to the opinions of an individual member of the Board, whether his hostility arose from the pro/i -sionA of the Act as a principle, or merely in consequence of any irregularities that had taken place in the admini stration thereof. Mr. LANGUAM moved that the Secretary make a return of the expenses of the funerals of twenty-eight bodies left unpaid, according to the provisions of the Anatomy Act, in order that the same might be forwarded to the Inspector-General.—This was also seconded and carried, and a notice of motion having been given for investigat ing the conduct of the officers of the workhoW,e with re ference to the subject, the Board broke up. We understand that measures - - . are now in pro- gross to raise subscriptions for r:resenting a suitable tes timonial of esteem and gratitude to George Stephenson, Esq., who has been desitsiated " the Father of the Rail way System," Tht T;ublic, perhaps, have hitherto, more than the proprietors, reaped the benefits that have re sulted from tile general establishment of railways, and It. we make ho question th a t th e y wou ld c h e erfully acknowr. ledge, m some measur e re pay, th e ir obligation :to cilue who has been so acti ve i n th e caus e.
