This Company is established to supply merchants and the trading community with facilities not yet afforded by Bankers or any existing Association, to make advances on produce and tiler, handise, and to receive upon the credit of a large sub scribed Capital, money ou Deposit at a fixed rate of interest, and to lend the same, together with the paid Capital, on con- Vertible mercantile securities. Although Bills of Exchange are readily negotiated with out the deposit of any collateral security, there does not exist any adequate means of obtaining advances on merchau disc or Produce. This 'Company proposes to supply this want by making advances upon the security of Merchandise, Bills of Lading, or Warrants representing Merchandise lying in the Docks, Wharves, or Bonded Warehouses, or other marketable securities. It is well known that consignments of Merchandise of great extent and value are made annually to London from all parts Of the world, as well as from the Manufacturing Districts throughout England ; and it is expected that Merchants and Manufacturers will readi y avail themselves or the facilities, now for the first time offered by any Public Company, for ob taining immediate advances on their property. The aggregate amount of Trade of the United Kingdom in extorts and imports, in 1860, exceeded £350,000,000 sterling, and during the last 25 years the exports alone have increased 200 per cent. The Company will afford every facility for sampling an d Inspection of Goods, to effect sales, to redeem any portion or the whole at any moment. It is well known that the large yearly increasing dividends of the Banking Institutions are mainly produced by their advances on mercantile securities. the pri nciThe follp al owi London Joint Stock the B pank s rogress and condition of : Name of Paid Present Nett Profit per !Dividend value Pr fit Share o n Bank.

Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of baths, at 19, St. Martin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all its appliances, and most admirable in effect.

Staff-Surgeon Morgan, M.D., and 220 non-commis sioned officers and rank and file, embarked at Wool wich yesterday morning on board the steam trans port Melbourne for America. The strength of the battery on its arrival at Woolwich from Bristol was 204 of all ranks. The vessel has been unavoid_ ably detained at the pier beyond her fixed time, in consequence of the necessity of an entire refit for the troops, the mess tables and other accommoda tion having been removed for the shipment of corn from St. Petersburg, whence she returned only a few days prior to her being chartered by our Go vernment for the present voyage. The whole of the war stores were on board on Wednesday evening, with the exception of 30 ice sledges, manufactured in the carriage department, for transporting the guns, &c., inland, and saws, poles, and other instru ments to be used in cutting a passage up the St. Lawrence, which were put on board yesterday be forethe embarkation of the troops. The battery was accompanied to the pier by the General commanding the garrison, Sir R. Dacres and Staff, and the full band of the regiment. Notwithstanding the inces sant rain, the men as they marched through the town were followed by a large crowd, who cheered them heartily as the gates were closed upon them. The men marched on board with the most perfect order and regularity. Col. Gordon and a Si aff of En gineer officers also embarked, together with Mr. Fayrer, a clerk, and four sergeant-inspectors of stores and an Admiralty agent. On account of the thick miserable state of the weather, the Melbourne did not leave Waolwich yesterday..

We may possibly occupy a place within the bounds of that indefinite circle. When we noticed this subject some weeks ago, we expressed the opinion, " that such a scheme, if carried out, would be remunerative to shareholders, and highly advantageous to the countries on both sides of the Channel." Since then the subject has been dis cussed by many of our literary, commercial, and scientific contemporaries ; and whatever diversity of opinion there may have been on the political and engineering questions, its great commercial import ance, and the advantages it would confer on Eng land and France, are very generally admitted ; these, therefore, need not now engage our attention- besides the consmercial, monetary, and railway join.- - nals, are quite competent to take care of this pbase of the subject. The nautical phases we will leave to the Admiralty, and as the writer in the nnes un dertakes with "a little solder or a big bung" to guarantee our national safety, we may rest con tented on that score, and proceed to notice what comes more within our province, viz , the engineer ing features of the question. Accepting then the invitation " to examine the project," we will endeavour to answer the question, "Is it really a feasible scheme ?" On this point also there appears a wonderful unanimity amongst our contemporaries ; but, though the practicability of the project is generally admitted, there is a wide diversity of opinion respecting the fitness of the pre sent time for carrying it out. "It will doubtless be accomplished some day," is the language of many ; some even fix a period, such as 10 ar 20 years hence. It was not thus that great subjects were dealt with 20 years ago, and the writer in the Times doubtless has such timid counsellors in view when he reminds us that "Chat Moss was no obstacle; the Britannia Bridge spans the sea; the great tubular bridge of Canada bestrides a waste of seething waters," and asks, " Why, when the Anglo-French valley is only wider by some miles, and deeper by some fathoms, should this arrest our progress ?" As in a former notice of this subject we expressed the opinion that the plan of submerged tubes "is undoubtedly the cheapest, and presents the fewest engineering diffi culties," we will confine ourselves to the conside ration of the following points connected with the tubular principle, believing that they embrace the whole question of practicability, viz. :—" The guid ing the tubes correctly to their position under water; the joining them when there; and effectual arrangements for keeping them down." First, then, we think the means proposed by Mr. Chalmers for guiding his tubes correctly to their position under water insufficient; a wire cable passed through a hole in one of the flanges of a tube 400 feet in length, with no guide for the other end except the submerging tackle, would not, in our opinion, suffice to bring the ends of the tubes fair enough together to admit of their being cor rectly joined. Amongst what he designates "minor details," lie places " arrangements for submerging tubes ;" and simply says, "he has considered the matter ;" but we think he would have acted more wisely if lie had given greater attention to this im portant adjunct to the vital part of his scheme, namely, the joining of the tubes under water by hydrostatic pressure. We readily grant that, as the tube descends it recedes from the agitated sur face of the water, the guiding wire-cable merges into a rigid bolt or bar of iron, and the submerging tackles near their supports at the bottom of the Channel ; but stte would, notwithstanding, prefer something more substantial before expressing our selves satisfied with his guiding arrangements. However, the Dutch Government, it is said, have lately submerged, and placed with great nicety, huge iron caissons in the Island of Nava, thus proving the practicability of such operations in deep water; and though doubting the efficiency of Mr. Chalmers' guiding apparatus, we by no means doubt the practicability of pla.c'aig the sections of a large tube correctly on the bottom of the Straits of Dover. As regards the second question, namely, the joining of the sections of the tube under water, we see no insurmountable difficulty in that operation. If the ends which are to be joined only approach each other nearly true, the immense hydrostatic pressure forcing the flanges together would in cur opinion, tend to right the tube even if it were somewhat out of line ; because an almost per fect equipoise having been established previous to submersion, it would offer little resistance, but would accommodate itself to the bearings of the flanges. The third point, the arrangements for keeping the tubes down, are substantial and reliable as far as they go ; but his five boxes are not sufficient to load down a tube four hundred feet in length, and thirty feet in diameter. Trae, he proposes to cover tube and boxes by an embankment, but we would prefer to have sufficient loading unmistake ably attached to the tube ; however, this at least is only a matter of detail ; and furthermore, there is no use for a tube so large as 30 feet in diameter, five or six feet less would be large enough for a double roadway, thus saving about 20 per cent. in cost, which might be judiciously applied to strengthen a tube, that, in our opinion, is too nicely calculated for the great pressure it would have to bear. On the whole, however, we are convinced of the feasibility of connecting the railway systems of England and the Continent by means of a roadway within submerged tubes, and we think the matter deserving of earnest attention, irrespective of the schemes of any projector. When this subject is fairly taken up (and why its consideration should be deferred, would be a difficult question to answer), it will not be to forward the project of any one ; those interested will doubtless employ competent parties, who can avail themselves of the most useful features of any published project, and any projector would only be too glad to have his ideas embodied in, and his name connected with, such an under taking. There is, however, one peculiar feature of Mr. Chalmers's scheme which should not be lost sight of, namely, the use he makes of the hydrosta tic pressure in enabling him to join his tubes from the inside ; this principle cannot be thrown away, for the depth is far too great to admit of the use of the diving bell for connecting the sections on the outside ; it was doubtless the novelty or originality of this feature which induced a scientific contempo ngdhpt n u n p n o d n e this t u h c o h usa ll rary to suggest experiments ; he thinks " experi ments which would th a ro f w ew m t point may be made for may be many years before we have a better oppor tunity or a more fitting time for such experiments than the ensuing summer ; they could not fail to attract the attention of distinguished and influential strangers, and the immense concourse of people that will flock to the International Exhibition of 1862, WOOLWICH, Dec. 6.—E,OYAL ARTILLERY FOR CANADA.—This afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, the officers, non• commissioned officers, gunners, and drivers comprising Captain Vesey's E battery of the 4th Brigade Royal Field Artillery assembled on parade, and, after inspection, proceeded in march ing order from the garrison to the Royal Arsenal for embarkation on board the screw steam vessel Melbourne for Canada. The streets in the line of march were crowded with spectators, and the force, which was preceded by the full band of the regi ment and numerous field officers, was repeatedly cheered by the public, and especially on entering the main gate of the Royal Arsenal, where a mul titude had assembled, notwithstanding the rain which prevailed. The force immediately embarked from the Royal Arsenal jetty on board the Mel bourne, which has shipped during the week the following large amount of war stores—viz., two complete batteries of Armstrong guns, several howitzers, 30,000 stand of arms and accoutrements for the Canadian militia, 2,500,000 rounds of Minie rifle balls, and small arms ammunition, 1,500 rounds of Armstrong gun ammunition, cartridges, &c. She also takes out military clothing and a quantity of stores peculiarly adapted for Canada, including a number of snow sleighs, which the wheelers and carpenters of the royal carriage department have been working night and day to manufacture during this week. The Melbourne was under orders to sail this evening, but an order was received to increase by a large number the supply of sleighs . for the transport of guns, &c. ; and an additional number of workmen will consequently be employed during the present night. It is expected that the vessel will leave the river to-morrow or on Sunday. Several transport vessels are now lying off the Royal Arsenal to embark troops and stores at the shortest notice. Large quantities of munitions of war were this day forwarded to Liverpool for ship ment to Canada, The Ist battalion 16th Regiment is under orders to embark for Canada on board the Persia, at Liver pool, in three or four days. Notices have been sent to all the men on furlough, calling on them to re join at once at Sheffield. NAVAL RESERVE. TURNER'S THREE PERIODS.—in his first period, the pictures are notable for a grey or brown colour, and for a sometimes heavytouch. Turner is more anxious fur form than colour; the colours are simple and few, and laid on unskilfully. His colour was sober because he was studying sober •coloured landscapes, and as the touch of them was heavy, so was his touch ; but he imitated without copying. He did not copy Vandervelde, but he went to the sea and learntpainted to it paint i n truerthe VanderveldeVanden w c ar d 0 ; s o s t e h e a o t n ( L i ypdegrees lhe 1823 came his " Bay of Bafie," which shows a change to the second period. The chief characteristics of this period are colour instead of grey, refinement instead of force, quan tity instead of mass. His light is now as near the bright ness of real light as possible ; his shadow, not of one colour, but of various colours. He tries now for delicacy and ten derness of contrast instead of violence. lie also finds that no one had yet g iven the quantity of nature. The draw ingsand magnificent." The splendour and glad n ess of the wor ld, not its hu miliation and p ai n , are now his chief ob eaa lo f this period, w hen not painted for di s pl a y, aro " fault object. Third Period—There is less mechanical effort, less pride in new discoveries and less ambitious accumulation, more deep imaginative delight and quiet love of nature, Sometimes in defiance of critics, conscious of power, he painted only to astonish. The figures are chalky in. the face, and scarlet in the reflected lights. After 1840 no more foliage is well painted, and it rarely occurs in any prominent mass,—Fron PorninoTs Life of Turner.

In addition to the screw steamers at Chatham and Sheerness ordered to be fitted for immediate com mission, the list of which has already appeared in The Sun, Admiralty orders were received at Chatham yesterday, directing the Leander, 51 guns, 400 horse power, to be ,brought forward with the •greatest possible speed. The Leander is a remark ably fine frigate, which has only recently been lengthened amidships 44 feet, and converted into a screw steamer. The trial trip, made a few days since, was attended with highly satisfactory results. She has been fitted with a pair of 400 horse poweii horizontal engines, and with patent expansive gear, by Messrs. Bolton and Watt. During her trial trip she attained a mean speed of nearly 12 knots an hour, with Griffiths' screw of 17 feet diameter. The Leander is at present attached to the second divi sion of the steam reserve at Chatham, and only re quires to be painted and masted to be complete for sea. The Black Prince was taken out of No. 10 dock yesterday morning into the steam basin, to enable the Euryalus, screw steam-frigate, to be docked in her place this day, as, having all stores, guns, &c., on board, she draws too much water to be placed in No. 7 dock, as first intended. The Sutlej, 51, screw steam-frigate, has received her foremast and bowsprit, and is expected to be completed to-day. The Chesapeake, 51, 400 horse power, which is being prepared for the third•class steam reserve in Ole Medway, at Chatham, is ordered to be docked at Sheerness as soon as possible, and a report made to the Admiralty as to whether this vessel or the Dragon, 6, 350 horse power paddlewheel steamer, can be made ready for sea in the shortest possible time. The Dragon has been for some time in the hands of the shipwrights at Sheerness, where she is undergoing a thorough overhaul. She is, however, in a very unsatisfactory state, many of her timbers, particularly those adjacent toiler boilers and engines, being quite rotten. Some considerable time must, therefore, elapse before she can be put in a thorough state of repair. The Chesapeake is incomplete in her fitments, and is not yet masted ; she also requires some important repairs in other places. She can, however, be brought forward for commission in a shorter time than the Dragon. The screw steamer of the line Bombay, 81, 400- horse power, which has been several months past fitting at Chatham for the second class steam reserve is ordered to proceed from Folly-point to Sheerness, where preparations have been made to receive her. Directions were yesterday received at Chatham from the Admiralty for all ships of the Rattlesnake, Racoon, and Pearl class to be supplied with a 12- pounder 10-cwt. brass howitzer, instead of a 24- pounder howitzer. Daring the thick fog which prevailed on the river at the time the African paddlewheel steamer was in attendance on the Resistance, 22, which was being removed to Chatham, the merchant ship Dolphin came into violent collision with the African, as the latter was lying at anchor in St. Clement's Reach, and caused considerable damage to one of the paddle-boxes. The paddlewheel was not injured, but the African will be required to be docked, either at Chatham or Sheerness, to make good her injuries. The steam transport Hellenis yesterday sailed from Woolwich, having shipped shells, shot, and other war stores for Gibraltar, Malta, and the lonian Islands, The Hope sailing transport, in the char- tered service of the War Department, yesterday hauled alongside Woolwich pier, and commenced receiving a heavy cargo of shot, shell, platforms, gun carriages, &c., amounting to 1,100 tons measure ment for Malta. She will likewise ship 200 tons of powder and ammunition. At no time has the Arsenal pier presented so warlike an appearance as at the present moment. Sir Richard Mayne, K.C.13., Commissioner of Police, accompanied by his son, Capt. Mayne, and Mr. F. W. Mallalieu, Inspecting Superintendent of Police in her Majesty's Dockyards, has just paid a visit of inspection of the police force in the Sheer ness yard, when the men were drilled and exercised by Inspector Court in a manner which met with Sir Richard's warmest commendation. On behalf of Messrs. Westwood, Baillie, and Campbell, we are requested to contradict the state ments made regarding the ship Valiant in The Sun of the 3d inst. Arrangements have been made for the completion of the vessel by the Admiralty, who are at present in negotiation for the plant, pre mises, &c., these being now, as they all along have been, in the possession of the firm referred to. Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Frederick W. Grey, K.C.8., resumed his official duties at the Admiralty yesterday morning, after a short absence to attend the funeral of the Dowager Countess Grey, at Howick.

Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh ; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Sze. The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour up depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advancedperiod of life, how they are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous remedies so generally on which the hopes of posterity resorted to by persons, who, prac tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the variou functional disorders o f the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the great discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.

A FRENCHMAN ON FRENCH WINES.—As long as wine was held in honour by all classes of society, the bril liant qualities of the French people rendered them the first of modern times. A loyal and ge nerous courage, ga i e ty an d vivacity of mind, patriotism, eloquence, the exquisite senti ment of personal dignity allied to an excessive politeness, together with an irresistible tendency towards the charms of social hfe, were the principal features of the national cha racter. But when coffee, tea, and toba cco success i ve ly occu pied a place in their habits, each of these more or less dele terious agents imprinted a sensible alteration on these fine n oble attributes,land notwithstanding the continuous action of wine upon the French people, who still possess the best blood in Europe, the close observer may remark deteliomt • ing modifications in the clearness of their thought, the precision of their speech, and the frank and joyous expres sion of their aspect. Above all, literature, that sincere and elevated token of the genius of a nati on , h as rece i ve d a f a t a l blow through the introduction of those morbid agents into the usual regimen.

The following memorandum has been issued at Aldershot ; " The Prince Consort having expressed a desire to render his royal highness's library at Aldershot available as a lecture theatre, a sub-committee of officers is required to make the necessary arrangements for this purpose, and to superintend the delivery of lectures. Officers commanding regiments and separate corps are therefore requested to as certain whether there are any officers under their command willing to serve on the proposed committee, and to forward their names to the Assistant Adjutant-General.—By order, "J. W. ARMSTRONG." An order was received in camp at Aldershot on Thursday morning, from H.R.H. the General Com manding-in-Chief, calling upon the division to fur nish three non-commissioned officers per regiment to proceed to Canada forthwith, for the purpose of assisting in the organisation of the militia in that country. Nominal and descriptive returns of the volunteers were forwarded at 1 o'clock the same day. In some regiments as many as 30 sergeants volunteered, although, under the present order, only three could be selected from each corps. When it is known at headquarters how excellent a spirit ani mates the men, and that many sergeants why have been disappointed have passed the School of Mus ketry at Hy the, it is hoped his royal highness will extend the complement from 3 to 6 per regiment. In accordance with orders received from the office of the Deputy-Adjutant-General, Horse Guards, a return has been forwarded by Col. H. D. Harness, C. 8., Director of the Royal Engineer Establish ment, Chatham, of the number of officers and men of the Royal Engineers who are fit for active ser vice. The companies now at home consist of the Ist, 2d, 4th, sth, 9th, 15th, 18th, 22d, 23d, and 24th. Each company can be augmented to 100 men of all ranks at a few days' notice, and all are available for foreign service. The whole of the men compos ing the companies arc skilled mechanics, survey ors, draughtsmen, or clerks, and all have gone through the curriculum of instruction at Chatham in sap ping and mining, pontooning, the formation of bat teries and earthworks, and other engineering ope rations. In addition to the companies enumerated the depot companies at Chatham are very strong. Yesterday the detachments selected from the sth company left head-quarters to join the 2d company at Aldershot, the Ist company at Plymouth, the 15th fLompany at the Curragh, and the 18th company at I Portsmouth.

Sir,—My attention has been drawn to an art cle on the Naval Reserve movement, in the Times of Dcc. 4, wherein it is stated that the seamen of North and South Shields, of Sunderland, Newcastle, Dundee, and Hull, came in fast to join the Reserve after certain delegates had considered the matter. As one of the force at this port I beg of you to allow me space, in an early publication, to add to this list the port of Hartlepool, and to ask of you, what appears to be nothing but an act of justice to a body of public-spirited men, that the credit of first adopting the Naval Reserve scheme be given to those of the north-eastern ports, to whom it de servedly belongs. Early in January, 1860, while men at other ports were doubting, the seamen attached to the Hartle pool Sailors' Union came forward spontaneously to offer their services to the shipping master of this port, and to them belongs the honour of being the first of all the north-eastern ports in leading this movement. Hartlepool sailors were not only the first in the field, but for some months after the com mencement of the scheme, mustered as strong a force as the whole of the ports mentioned put toge ther, and it was solely through our success that neighbouring ports began to move in the matter. It is a source of pride and honour to Hartlepool men to think that they took such a position—that Hartlepool attained to 100 men for the Reserve first of any port in the United Kingdom, and was also the first to attend a drill under the instruction of a naval officer. They are therefore desirous that their claims should not be ignored. While we hold the distinction of being the first to come forward, we also continue to keep in the proud position of supplying a greater number of men—according to the population—than any port in the United Kingdom. In May, 1860, the num bers of enrolled Reserve men in the following north-east ports were—Hartlepool, 146 ; Sunder land, 133 ; the Tyne, 81; Seaham, 46 ; Blyth, 25 ; and by a return dated Nov. 30, 1861, we find H ar tlepool stands the fourth port on the list of the United Kingdom, being higher than Liverpool, Bris tol, Plymouth, Southampton, Hull, Newcastle, Dundee, or Aberdeen. The port of Hull, which is stated to be supplying men "so fast," stands with the miserable number of 31 against it, while Hartle pool contributed 33 the first month of the enrol ment, and now has 435 men, all of whom that are in the port have heartily come forward with genuine loyalty and patriotism and volunteered their services to the Government in the present crisis. I think you will see, therefore, that the Naval Reserve of this port do not without grounds claim the honour of being the foremost in the van of the north-east ports in the establishment of the Reserve scheme. While on the subject, I may state that Hartlepool is yet without a ship to exercise in, being limited to a small 2-gun shed, which gives to the men but a poor representation of the 'tween decks of a man of-war. Surely we deserve the same facilities as Liverpool, Bristol, Aberdeen, and Dundee, whi c h do not possess so many Reserve men.—l am, sir, your most obedient humble servant, WILLIAM LOWES, Hartlepool Naval Reserve.

Will you permit me to say, on the authority of the company we represent, that, although the regular mail communication between the above countries has been for some time discontinued, steamers still continue to ply occa sionally, generally about every twentieth day, from San Francisco and Victoria There are also frequent departures of coasting sailing vessels in the same trade.
