On the DEPOSIT SYSTEM a person is NOT " COMPELLED" to pay from "TEAR TO TEAR," and he does not, it desirous of " ABANDON ING" his Policy, incur any' SERIOUS Loss," but, on the contrary. he May pay such amounts, and at such Imes 4s he may find most con venient; he can stop paying whenever , he pleases, and he can with draw the whole or part of his premiums. If the whole be with drawn the Policy is cancelled ; if part only, then the value of the Policy is diminished by the assured value of the part withdrawn. AB, aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment of 51 which it will be seen he increases from time to time, and occas ionally diminishes.

IVF INING INVESTMENT.—Parties seeking x. sate and profitable investments should turn their attention to the shares of those companies formed for mining, especially when their estates are in Cornwall and Devon. The dividends from many of these are equal to 10, 15, and 20 Der cent. upon the outlay while others not yet paying dividends, but having excellent prospects of soon doing so, afford abundant scope for speculation, not alone from anticipated early returns to the proprietary, but likewise on account of the great enhancement in the value the stock at tendant thereon. Mr. JNO S. LANE, 32. Poultry - , London, having correspondents in all the richest mineral districts in England, is in a position early to advise his camas. Parties communicating will re ceive all requisite information, and Mr. LANE will recommend either dividend paying, or non-dividend paying concerns, to those wishing to embark in mining enterprise, and state his reasons for so doing 32, Poultry, London, Jan., 1854.

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. Every day--every hour—furnishes additional matter for observation and comment on the immense exertions being made to meet the requirements of the coming war—the cam paign on land—the operations of our naval forces at sea. With respect to the army, we may now repeat with confi dence that the number of troops to be despatched at once is 10,000 officers and men. But as many more will be held iu readiness to reinforce the British contingent, should necessity demand their services in the East. If possible the following will proceed on he 18th or 19th : 3 battalions of the Guards. 7th Regiment of Foot. 28th Regiment of Foot. 33d Regiment of Foot. 79th Regiment of Foot. 2d Battalion of Rifles. 4 companies of Artillery. The others will follow as soon as the transports can be got ready. It is also intended to send out at least three regiments of cavalry. We stated yesterday that certain steam-ships had been taken up for the conveyance of these troops. But at least 20 ships of the largesttonnage will be required to convey troops and supplies. We understand that the government have claimed the ser vices of the contract mail steamers, the exigencies of war be ing paramount to all other considerations. We Lear frwn Liverpool that there are other steamers than those of Cunard's line of pa.ikets that are available for the Queen's service, but it will take three or four weeks to get them ready to receive troops. In the Clyde, we believe, there are no steamers available, and Bristol can do little. Perhaps one moderate-sized vessel can be picked up there. The value of those much and wrongly abused iron screw-steamers, so much decried by officials—we allude to the limoon, by Napier, and Vulcan, by Mare and Co. is new appreciated, and even the Megaera would be considered almost a godsend, if she were to drop home just now from the West Indies. Next to the steamers of the Royal Navy, it is very clear that, for the emergency, the Government must, at least for the present, look to the great steam companies of London for assistance, and we trust that, as time is beyond all purchase, the authorities will deal liberally with those companies who help the country in the time of need. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's ship Ripon, paddle-wheel, there is no doubt, will convey the first division (1,500 men) en route to the theatre of war ; the Peninsular and Oriental Company's iron screw-ship Himalaya, it is calculated will take 3,000, and the new screw-ship Manilla will take 500. The General Screw Company's fine new iron screw-ship Golden Fleece, ready to go to Australia, to perform the com pany's regular service, will be diverted from her route, and will be fitted at once for 2,000 troops, and the sister screw ship Jason, we have no doubt, will also be employed for the conveyance of troops at terms advantageous to the company. There are other ships that we hear of ready to be offered to the government, and at early notice will be fitted for imme diate service. , . The Peninsular and Oriental Company have a ship now being converted from a paddle-wheel into a sailing vessel, by Mare and Co., of Blackwall. We hearthat by the extra ordinary resources of Mr. Mare's establishment this ship will be turned out of hand in six weeks, and be ready for the con veyance of either stores or troops. The Messrs. Green it is stated have 6,000 tons of shipping to be employed in her Majesty's service, and probably their ships will take out 1,000 horses to Constantinople.: Wheresoever we turn we find the order and the means of carrying it out simultaneously received and provided ; and although steam even is no match for time, the mighty re sources of this country—the recuperative energy of English men, there can be no doubt, cannot be exceeded by our friendly neighbours and allies the gallant French, with whom we are about to fight the battles of patriotism and civilisation; and are beyond comparison superior to all other powers of Europe or Asia. With the sailing transports of the old war, according to our closest estimate, our troops could not be expected to anchor in the Golden Horn under 6 or 7 weeks, whereas by the first- rate steam-vessels that we possess or are available, we can, without difficulty, transport our army from England to Con stantinople in at most three weeks, and with such ships as the Himalaya, Golden Fleece, tile., the distance could be run over in a fortnight. And now a word for our fleets. We may say fleets, for our scale of fitting out at our Royal arsenals scarcely re cognises squadrons. A squadron is created in a day—a fleet is formed in a week ; and the world wonders whence they come. We pass by 120's our 84's and 72's—ships su perior to those vessels with which our heroes made the " Ist of June " glorious, added celebrity to the " Nile," and made " Trafalgar . " a " household word," as so much old stock in trade scarcely worth an Admiralty " Dutch auction." The strength of the country, the re- presentatives of our little island, are the mighty marine locomotives, such as the Duke 3f Wellington, 131, St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Royal George, 121, Agamemnon, 91, Princess Royal, 91, Caesar, 91, James Watt, 91, Nile, 91, Cressy, 81, S msparcil, 71, Hogue, 60, Ajax, 60, Blenheim, 60, Edinburgh, 60—fourteen such screw ships as, if properly manned, are a match for 28 sail of the canvas fleet of Russia. Of this, fleet we have at present in the Channel or at outports no less than a dozen wearing the Royal pendant, and to-day we shall have an important edition of this mighty force in the Majestic, 81, to be commissioned at Sheerness, and commanded by one of the most gallant and popular aficers of the navy, Captain James hope, C.B.,—the Captain of the Firebrand, who le4 the way up the Parana, and in his own gig cut the chain which fixed the boom across that noble river at Obligado Point, which gave freedom to the previously pent-up com merce of the country. We have thus 13 heavy screw-ships for offence or defence in our Channel and ports, with at least half a dozen screw fri gates and corvettes, and as many sailing line-of-battle ships, which are to be in the Downs by the 6th of March next, ready for the signal that shall send them, with the French force that Will have joined by that time, to blockade the Rus sian ports or fight the Baltic fleets. Without indulging in surmises we may remark, however, that the fact of reserving the Nile for a flag-ship, and that Nile having been commissioned by a commander who was a lieutenant with Rear-Admiral Berkeley, C. 8., when he com manded the Thunderer, 84, at St. Jean d'Acre, suggests the belief amongst many that the second naval lord of the Board of Admiralty will be the fortunate officer. —Morning Herald. ROYAL ARTILLERY. Woomile'', FEB. 10.—There is scarcely anything else talked of in the garrison here than the rumours of preparations for war which are in progress, although not officially announced iu general or garrison orders. It is well known, however, that waggon loads of the munitions of war leave the Royal Arsenal daily for the grand depot, where they are carefully packed, and kept in a constant state of readiness, to be forwarded to any part, at home or abroad, on the shortest notice. A report has been circulated to-day that two troops of the Royal Horse Artillery, the A Troop, under the command of Captain Taylor, at present stationed at Canterbury, with the C Troop, under the command of Capt. E. C.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, octor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAX be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, -exulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro iuced niece misery In youth, degradation In manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis ases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in .xistence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their ndless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without Incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con-equenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional terangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have indicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
