Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap lying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest Medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference limpet solely to the treatment of these diseases. o P ublished by she Author, and may be had o f K en t an d R i char d s, 3, Patern os t er - row; Hannay, 63, Oxford-street; Starle , Tichborne .ets aymarket ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Gordon, 146, Leaden , London ; or, free by post for torty-two stamps. from Me Author's Residence. 17.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which Is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 280 l.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1149, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. I'rop• , sals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. ixteen l'olicics lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 35. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assuran es were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321.

Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,183/. I Is. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de I'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque Ele Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at Its present results and future prospects.

The "town tourist . ' cannot have failed to notice, in his progress to the west end of the metropolis, an extensive range of premises in c urse of erection at the corner of HART-STREET, NEW OX FORD-STREET. The situation, extent, and character of these premises must, from the earliest stage of the undertaking, have impressed the public with the idea that such a project could be connected with no mean capi talists--no ordinary speculation. The gradual development of the building and the ultimate display of the Hanle of the proprietary at once disclosed to the passer-by the true character of the speculation ; and thousands in that and other important localities have ever since been looking forward with anx ious expectation to the opening of the West-end Branch of E. MOS t.S and SON. The expediency of opening an Establishment like that under con sideration cannot properly be called in question. The east end and the west end of the metropolis are two perfectly distinct localities ; and to such an extent has the Capital grown, that a visit from one part to another involves both trouble and ex pense. The expediency of the present undertaking may be safely argued from the encouraging fact, that the proprietors number from the west end a large proportion of their wealthy supporters, whose interests and convenience will necessarily be better consulted in their own lo cality, and who, in return, wilt have more ready opportunities of fa vouring E. MOSES and SON with their commands. It would be idle and useless to argue that suth a vast speculation as the \VEST-END BRANCH would not have been entered into, had not the voice of the public called loudly for it. E. MOSES and SON have had too much experience in such undertakings, and know too well how to improve the capital which the public have placed at their disposal, to enter into a project like the present unsupported by the public, from whom they derive that c nfldence, without which such an enterprising speculati on wou ld never have been attempted. In starting the Branch of the City Establishment at the West end, E. M OSES and SON have taken especial care so to model their ar rangements to the requirements of the locality, as to render this Branch suitable t., all parties. The BESPOKE TAILORING DEPARTMENT is deserving of particular mention ; being, as it is, the first at the West-end,in point of business-arrangement, accommodation, rnd fashion. The Nobility and Gentry will here meet with no obstruction or confusion, and will have no necessity to pass through the more busy portion of the Establishment,.there being aseparate private entrance to this department, with distinct accommodation for servants in at tendance. Attention is also called to the fact, that Hart-street, which runs parellel with Oxford-street, being quiet and private, af fords safe standing room for carriages —a circumstance worthy the attention of the gentry. In connexion with the Bespoke Department, there are SELE HABIT FITTING-BOOMS, and FITTING-ROOMS for GENTLE MEN, besides DEPARTMENTS devoted to the JUVENILES. Everything has been done by the proprietors to render their Branch Establishment in these important respects (without qualification of terms), the first Establishment in the first fashionable locality in the kingdom. In the arrangements of the READY-MADE DEPARTMENTS there are also tho'e recommendations which cannot fail to elicit the approval of a. discerning public. The classification of goads, the ready ingress and egress, and every other arrangement, are such as must conduce to the accommodation and satisfaction of the purchaser. For such an Establishment, in such a situation, the most superior assortment of fashions has been prepared. The proprietors have determined not to be equalled in the collection of dress at their West-end Branch ; and, in order to produce the first specimens of attire, they have not only made purchases of the most superb materials in Cloths, Silks, Satins, Alpacas, Lustres, &c., &c., but have secured the most elegant and novel designs, by offering handsome prizes for the best opec.mens of artistic skill in cut and workmanship ;. an experiment which has proved more than success ful to this end. The GENTLEMEN'S WINTER OVERCOATS, and the other ar ticles of attire, when inspected, will prove that the proprietors are not dealing in exaggerated terms in thus recommending the present Stock of Attire. • In LADIES' HABITS, E. MOSES and SON intend to Convince their supporters; that as Fashionable Tailors, they are neither to be surpassed nor equalled by many degrees. Their STOCK of JUVENILE CLOTHING calls alike for terms of the highest recommendation. Where this branch of the Tailoring Trade has been too often overlooked or slighted, E. MOSES and SON have made it a point of particular study ; nor do they question for a moment that their endeavours will secure anything short of the highest approbation. A conspicuous feature at the New West.end Branch of E. MOSES and SON is that of a STOCK of READY-MADE LIVERIES, which, though elegant in the extrem., and superior in material, are sold at prices exceedingly advantageous to the purchaser. The attention of the Nobility a; d Gentry is particularly directed to this branch of the proprietor' business in New Oxford-street. A STOCK of SUPERIOR MOURNING, at prices less than those charged anywhere else, by 50 per cent., is also deserving' of promi nent mention. No advantage will be taken in the furnishing of these articles of the melancholy circumstances of bereavement, or of the haste in the adoption of such attire—circumstances which have too often led to imposition on the part of tradesmen. The SHOOTING-COATS, FISHING-COATS, LOUNGING COATS, ant the various ready-made goods are in keeping with the rest of the articles suld ; and the most extreme satisfaction must re sult from an inspection and trial of the Stock. _._ . _ A large and fashionable collection of II ATS and CAPS adds much to the recommend& ions of the new Branch House; and the Public are assured that here their interests are equally consulted. The system which the proprietors intend to pursue at their New Establishment is not new. Their old system of cheapness, coupled with quality and fashion will be in operation at the Branch House as at the Origin ii Establishment. The Return of Cash or Exchange of Goods, and the marking the price of each article in plain figures, c ill in no way be departed from at the West-end Branch. Before concluding this announcement E. MOSES and SON would hint that their New Premises in Oxford-street are of the most novel, elegant, and commodious description. The Establishment is an Ex hibition itself, quite alone in point of style, convenience, and decora tion —and is well deserving a visit from the carious in these matters. An excursion, in fact, woul•t be well repaid by a view of this superb trading structure, of which no idea can be formed except u on in spect ion. The proprietors take this opportunity of inviting the Public to ThIR their New West-end Branch Establishment, whether purchasing or not ; where every attention will be paid to them, and every Informa tion given. Having thus announced the opening of the New Branch Establish ment, and having touched (in as brief a manner as possible) on the recommendations there held out, E. 111 , , SE4 and SON would ac knowle,ige grAtefully that vast amount of favour at the ha di of the public, to which alone they can date this proud advance in their speculations ; and the proprietors would assure the Public, that it is their de:ermination to merit renewed support, by an adherence at the New Establishment to those principles which have worked so well at the Old. ..* Will be OPENED at Ten o'clock on TUESDAY MORNING, the Bth of OCTOBER.

" I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me emphatically tell you, in mercy.to any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I Person ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acquaintances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

ATTACK ON THE KING'S BENCH PRISON DURING THI RIOTS OF LONDON.-At the gate of the prison two sen tinels were placed. One of these was a fine-built young man, full six feet high ;be had been servant to my father. On the day Allen was shot, or a day or two after, he came to my father for protection ; my father, having a high opinion of his veracity and moral goodness took him in and sheltered him until quiet was restored. Ilia name was M‘Phin, or some such name; but as he was always called "Mac" by us, Ido not remember his name perfectly. He stated that he and his fellow soldier, while standing as sentries at the prison,were attackedby an uproarious mob, and were assailed with stones and brickbats; that his companion called loudly to the mob, and said, "I will not fire until I see and mark a man that throws at us, and then he shall die ; I don't want to kid the innocent, or any one, but he that flings at us shall surely die." Young Allen threw a brick-bat, and ran off; but Mac said, his fellow soldier had seen it, and marked him. The crowd gave way ; off went Allen, and the soldier after him. Young Allen ran on,-the soldier pursuing him, till he entered his father's premises, who was a cow keeper, and there the soldier shot him. Popular fury turned upon poor Mac ; and so completely was he thought to be the " murderer" of young Allen, that 500/. was offered by the mr)b IT his discovery. But my good father was faithful to lione,t Mac, and he lay secure in one of our upper rooms until the excitement was over. Allen's funeral was attended by myriads, and a monument was erected to his memory (which yet remains, I believe) in Newington churchyard, speaking lies in face of the sun. If it were important enough, it deserves erasure as much as the false inscription on Lon don's monument. As soon as the public blood was cool, Mac" surrendered himself, was tried at the Old Bailey, and acquit fed.— Notes and Queries. Liverpool and Glasgow are simultaneously engaged in discussing projects for the erection of new Post.offices and the removal of old powder-magazines; rather a curious coincidence. INAUGURATION OF THE NEW SHERIFFS. Yesterday being the morrow of St. Michael, the newly-elected sheriffs, Alderman Carden and Mr. G. E. Hodgkinson, entertained the masters, wardens, and commonality of their respective companies—the Spectacleinakers and Cutlers—at Cutlers'-hall, St. Thomas-the-Apostle, to breakfast. The breakfast concluded, they proceeded to the Guildhall Chamber to meet the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, after which they proceeded in state to Blackfriars-bridge, where they embarked on board the city barge, and pro ceeded by water to Westminster-bridge. A strong wind and tide against them materially delayed their progress, and it was nearly three o'clock when the procession reached the Court of Exchequer, where the Cursitor B iron had been two hours in waiting for them. The crier having at length announced the arrival of the Lord Mayor, the Cursitor Baron took his seat upon the bench, and the civic dignitaries bestowed themselves in position acc or di ng t o ran k i n the seats of the Queen's Counsel and on the floor of the court. Mr. BULLOCK, the Common-Sergeant (in the ab sence of the newly-elected Recorder), then addressed the Court as follows :—Since our last eppearanc upon a similar occasion, the Corporation of London has had to deplore the loss of that officer who bad so long acquitted himself here with so much credit to himself and satisfaction to the public. They have also to regret the absence of his successor, and hence the duty devolves upon me of presenting the sheriffs this day ; and I have to request the indulgence of the Court whilst I attempt to discharge that duty. I have the honour to present to you Robert Walter Carden, an Alderman of the city of London, and cutler, as one of the Sheriffs of the city of London ; and George Edmund Hodgkinson, citizen and spec taclemaker, as the other Sheriff of the city of Lon don, and the two as joint Sheriff of Middlesex. These gentlemen have been elected by their fellow citizens to fill these high offices, and the choice could not have fallen upon any who could create a more happy anticipation for their year of office. Mr. Carden is descended, on his father's side, from a gen tleman who had been engaged fur some years in the practice of the bar in the Temple. His mother was of a distinguished family, her immediate father being a gentleman whose name has been extended, so far as the English language has ex tended, or so far, I may say, as the civilized world takes care or concern in the politics of this country and of Europe at large—l need only mention the name of Mr. Walter, of the Times newspaper. Mr. Carden commenced his career of life in the service of his country in the army, but the prospect of perma nent peace soon convinced him that that profession would no longer afford sufficient occupation for his energy and industry. He therefore left the profes sion which had been his early choice, and attaching himself to one which would be more adapted to the intercourse of nations at amity with each other, he employed himself in the monetary transactions of great nations in amity, and became an eminent member of the Stock Exchange, where hi s zea l, assiduity, integrity, and honour, have gained him the esteem and respect of his fellow-citizens. With re spect to Mr. Hodgkinson, I would say that, b o th as concerns himself and his family, the choice has fallen most happily upon him. By paternal descent he is connected with the great agricultural interests of the country, his ancestors on his father's side having been for centuries employed in cultivating their own freeholds in the county of Derby. On the maternal • side he is connected with another great branch which promotes the wealth of his country—the manufacturing branch. He is de scended on his mother's side from a gentleman whose name is celebrated in the manufacturing inte rests of our country—Mr. Humphry Jennings, the founder of the iron trade in the great iron mart of Birmingham. For himself, he is the representative of the third great branch of national interest—the maritime commerce and shipping of the country ; he has been for years himself engaged in that branch, and has raised himself to a distinction therein ; his character is well known amongst those who are in anyway interested in the commercial greatness of the country ; he has raised himself to a high cha racter by his assiduity and integrity, and he is here today as the other Sheriff of London, and joint Sheriff of Middlesex. I have to request through you the approbation of her Majesty on the choice of the citizens of London. I have also the honour to present to-day the late Sheriffs of Landon, Alderman Law rence and Mr. D. Nicoll. The anticipations which were expressed on their entrance to office have been more than realized. They have had occasions and opportunities which they have not failed to avail themselves of for promoting the good of their fellow citizens. Much of their duty consisted in the conduct of the Central Criminal Court, and they have been able to make arrangements in that court for facili tating and expediting the business, whilst in no way sacrificing or derNating from the good and proper ad ministration of justice. Th e y h ave b een throughout humane, an d h osp i ta bl e i n manlier . I that they h ave b een unequa ll e d before, c mb o u3 u ty r e n o mo n ta s y l s asya y that they have never been surpassed. Mr. Cursitor Baron .BANKES—Mr. Common-Ser geant, a loss to which you have adverted as experi enced lately by the citizens of London is one which may well justify a few observations from this bench. It is a loss to the profession to which the late Mr. Law was an honour, but it is a loss on which I am the less capable of speaking, because, enjoying as I did for many years his affectionate friendship, I feel the deepest pain when I speak of him whose memory I can never wish to forget. lam well aware how faithful a servant he was to the citizens of London, in all those hi g h s t a ti ons w hi c h Recorder o f th a t no bl e metropo li s . p t e h n e de ntl yAs the representative in P ar li ament o f one o f our chief universities he was u p on a ll occas i ons , w h en he ac ti fi n l g led in a d s e the rights and privileges and interests of the citiz ne of London were in question, at his post, acting with that independence which belonged to his character, but furthering on all occasions, so far as he thought right, with his zeal, diligence, and ability, those questions in which he took an active and important part. lam here to-day to acknowledge, on the part of the Sovereign, among other high rights and pri vileges of the citizens of London, that great branch of the Royal prerogative which has been intrusted to them during many hundred years—the free and unbiassed choice of those whom they should think fit to choose from among themselves to serve in the high office to which these gentlemen have now been elected—the high and important station of the Sheriffs of London and Sheriff of the metropolitan county. The high qualities which have recommended these gentlemen to the notice of their fellow-citizens, and entitled them to the honour which they now re ceive, are qualities that justify me, on the part of her Majesty, to declare her full, gracious, and unqualified recognition of the choice which has been made, and it remains for me to wish to those gentlemen health, that they may be enabled, throughout the year which now commences of important and o nerous duties, to discharge them so as to fulfil the well-grounded ex pectation of their friends, and, I trust, even to satisfy their own wishes at the end of their year of office. I am aware that, with regard to c ongratulations, they are rather at this time to be offered to those gentlemen who have preceded them, and who now make their appearance at this court, hav i ng honourably, fully, and faithfully fulfilled the duties intrusted to them. I have now to congratulate those gentlemen, after the sacrifice they have made—for undoubtedly it is a great sacrifice to those who know h ow _ to enjoy th e relations of friendship which high character will always establish—that their year of office has expired, and that for a time they may return to the enjoyment they are so we ll of those social pleasures to wh ich entitled, until their fellow- c i tizens hereafter may perhaps find some dignity. or honour to impose upon them. I beg to receive, on the part of her Sheriff o f the these co gentlemenunty a s Sheriffs of L on d on an d o f Middlesex. The warrants of attorney from the sheriffs to the under-sheriffs, to receive and execute all writs, at tachments, Zee., were then read and filed. The ap pearance of the late Sheriffs was recorded, and the usual suit and service, which consists of cu tti ng t wo faggots and counting six horseshoes and 61 nails, having been performed by Mr. William Hunter, the senior alderman, the Common-Serjeant, in the name of the Sheriffs, requested the company of the Court to dine with them at a banquet. Last night the new Sheriffs , for Lond on an d Mid dlesex, Mr. Robert Walter Carden, Alderman, a n d Mr. George Edmund Hodgkinson, gave their inaugu risaitdionf dinner oorf am upwardss sumptuous the London T avern .

At the conclusion of the dinner grace was sung by the vocalists, Messrs. Lockey and Lawler, and the Misses Kenneth and Henderson, and then, in accord ance with the ancient civic custom, the " loving cup" was sent round. _ _ _ The LORD MAYOR then rose and proposed the first toast, which he felt sure all would most cordially loin in drinking—" The health of her Majesty the Queen." This toast having been most loyally responded to, was followed by that of " Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family," which was re ceived with equal enthusiasm. Mr. Alderman CARDEN next rose, and was greeted with several rounds of applause. He said he had the permission of the Lord Mayor to propose the next toast—" The health of the Army and Navy."— (cheers.) He gave this toast with great pleasure, though it was true that at present they had no need of their services, for England was at peace with all the world, fortunately for this country, and fortu nately too for the foe that it might otherwise be en gaged with.—(Cheers.) He did not belong to that school called " the Cobden school," who wished to dispense with that army which he (Alderman Carden) considered the best assurance of peace. It was the interest of all nations, he believed, to be prepared for war, for in that consisted the best means for preserving peace; and he also was of opinion that the mighty idea developed to the world by Prince Albert, with refer ence to the great Industrial Exhibition of all Nations, would afford a better chance for the continuance of peace than all the Peace Congresses, whether held in London or Frankfort, or in any other quarter of the world, or all the rhodomontade speeches that might be spouted in such assemblies. The worthy Alderman and Sheriff then gave " The Army and Navy," concluding by expressing his regret at the absence of Sir William Napier, who, he observed, was prevented from being present by the effects of a gunshot wound in the back, from which he occasion ally suffered. The toast was drunk with three times three. The LORD Ma.ros proposed the next toast, which he was sure the company would cordially respond to— " Her Majesty's Ministers, and thanks for their ser vices on behalf of the country." Mr. Alderman CARDEN proposed " The health of the Lord Mayor," observing that he was sure he need only mention his Lordship's name to elicit that enthu siasm from the citizens of London which his Lord ship's services so well merited. A kinder-hearted, a more excellent, or better-disposed man, never filled the office of Lord Mayor—(Cheers)—and he was sure that they would all cordially greet him with the most unanimous approbation.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. He said he scarcely knew how to thank them for the manner in which his health had been received. In performing the duties of his year of office, now expiring, it had been his earnest endeavour to discharge them effici ently and zealously to the best of his abilities and it afforded him the greatest satisfaction to receive their approbation. duty y ete t d o w pr i o th po c s h e e t e h r o s. health Ii Sheriff HODGKINSON next rose and was s o a f i d t h i e t g e w n a t s l e m h a i s n w pleasing s about to ascend the civic chair, " the Lord Mayor Elect." He believed that few men had ever been elected to that high situation with the more perfect approbation of their fellow-citizens than the present Lord Mayor Elect. He felt sure that all the duties appertaining to the office of Lord Mayor of the city of London, and more particularly in the year which was ensuing, would be most ably and efficiently per formed by the gentleman who had been elected by his fellow-citizens to that important office, for which his great abilities so eminently qualified him.— (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR ELECT returned thanks. 'He said it was something very encouraging to a man about to undertake very important duties to have his name received so cordially by the large and distin guished company present. lie naturally must feel on the present occasion in some degree embarrassed in consequence of having to speak in the presence of the present Lord Mayor, and of those who had pre ceded him in the civic chair, for their services were past and known, whereas his were all to begin. He would, however, assure his fellow -citizens that his best efforts and all his energies should be brought into operation to fulfil the duties of his office, and, if possible, to realize all the expectations which his friends might have formed with respect to him.—(Applause.) It had been intimated that the coming year would be a very eventful one to this country, and particu larly to the citizens of this great metropolis ; and, feeling that it would be so, it would naturally be his desire to see that the city of London upheld its im• portance, and stood before the country and Europe maintaining its ra , ik as one of the first communities of the world.—(Applause.) It had been said that there was safety in difficulty, and he believed so, and he believed that office was never in danger but when it was degraded. He would take care that his office should not be degraded in his hands, and he should have, he was sure, the assistance of the present Lord Mayor, the Aldermen, and Common Councilmen in carrying out the duties of his important year.--(Applause.) After adverting to the great antiquity of the office of Lord Mayor of the city of London, he concluded by observing, that it should be a matter of moat serious consideration for all men now holding office to en deavour to preserve those institutions which had been handed down by their forefathers, and to improve them, if necessary, from time to time—(Applause)— so that they might be transmitted to posterity unim paired.—(Cheers.) He trusted that he should be fortunate enough to discharge the duties of his office in a manner to earn the thanks and approbation of his fellow-citizens. Mr. Alderman CARDEN proposed the " Health of the Cursitor Baron," who had signified to him and his colleague (the new Sheriffs) their Sovereign's ap probation of the choice which the citizens of London had made in promoting them to office. The CURSITOR BARON returned thanks. He said he felt proud to h o ld an office which made him the medium of communi ca ti ng h e r M a j es ty' s assent to the choice which the citizens of London had made of two gentleme n t o h o ld t h e office to which the present Sheriffs had been so honourably elected.—(Applause.) Her Majesty had been informed of those qualifies= tions which had earned from the citizens of London their suffrages on behalf of the new Sheriffs, and had cordially and unhesitatingly signified her assent to the choice so made.—(Hear, hear.) The Lord Mayor Elect had stated that the approaching year might prove eventful to this great city and this powerful empire—a year when probably we should have incur sions from all cities of Europe and the world to wit ness our powers, to share in our social enjoyments, and to partake of our hospitality ; and he trusted that the foreigners so coming here woul I be assured that they would be received, as they had a right to expect to be received, with dignity, with honour, and with safety.—(Cheers.) He was sorry this day, when he received the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs in his offi cial capacity, that he was not able to receive them precisely in such a court as in his opinion was suita ble to the dignity of those who attended. They were certainly in a state of repair, and transition there (Laughter)— but he begged the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs to understand that these matters of building reparation were not under the authority of those who presided in those courts, and he only wished that those gentlemen present who were Members of Parliament had some better authority over the House which they inhabited.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) It seemed to him that the whole of this country WAS at present in a state of reparation, for it was full of scaffoldings and new erections, and he only hoped, when all was put in order, that they would deserve the approbation of the nations of the world.— (Cheers.) For his part, he would say that whenever he had the honour to receive the Lord Mayor and the authorities of the city of London, he would en . deavour as far as in him lay to receive them in a manner suitable to their dignity and authority, and he never felt prouder than when allowed to commus nicate to them the respect with which those who sat upon the Throne regarded the citizens of London. Mr. Sheriff HODGKINSON next proposed " the Health of the Representatives of London and the Members of the House of Commons," connecting with it in complimentary terms the name of Mr. Masterrnan. Mr. MASTERMAN, amidst much applause, briefly returned thanks for himself and his colleagues. Mr. Alderman CARDEN then proposed .' the Health of Mr. Alderman Hooper and the other Magistrates of the city of London," observing that he was entitled to give this toast, as during the year that he held the distinguished office of sheriff he ceased to be a magis trate. He believed that the magistrates of the city of London were a body of men intent upon doing the greatest possible good in their power, and the time they devoted to the public service was far beyond what some imagined. They had many onerous duties ito perform besides attending police-courts and the a O n l d H B O a u i p l e n y n . sessions mr. ( t u H r Bailey.—(Hear, h thanks.e s r .) He said A a l t de th rm e — re he was quite satisfied that his brother magistrates of the city of London brought to the discharge of their duties every good intention and every desire to dis charge those duties efficiently, and if they effected that object they were amply rewarded in receiving the applause of their fellow-citizens. Mr. Sheriff HODOKINSON proposed " The Health of the Recorder end the other Civic Judges," to which the Common-Sergeant, in the absence of the Recorder, responded. The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The Chairman and. Directors of the East India Company." Mr. SitarnEap returned thanks. He observed that the directors of the East India Company appre • ciated very highly the good opinion and esteem of such a distinguished company as the present. As directors of the company they were but instruments in the hands of this mighty nation for carrying on the details of the government of the great Indian empire, which some years ago was but a small factory, but which bad been raised by the enterprise and energies of English and, he should say, London merchants, to be now our greatest and most valuable depen dency.—(Hear, hear.) When he told them that they (the directors) owed their first duty to the people of India, he was proud to add that the happiness of the people of India was connected with the best interests of the English public.—(Cheers.) The CURSITOR BARON proposed the health of the hosts (the new Sheriffs), who had kindly invited the company to that splendid entertainment.—(Cheers.) He wished all prosperity to them during their ensu ing year of office, and he trusted that the wishes of their friends would be completely fulfilled, and that the exertions which they themselves intended to make might be followed by that success which would insure to them a happy and honourable shrievalty.—(Cheers.) The toast was then drunk amidst repeated cheering. Mr. Alderman CARDEN, on rising to return thanks, feared that he had not language at his command adequate to express properly his deep feeling of gra titude for the very kind manner in which the proposi tion of his health had been responded to.—(Hear.) He spoke now simply for himself, because - he knew that his colleague, Mr. Sheriff Hodgkinson, would address them on his own behalf. He felt proud in being placed by the suffrages of his fellow-citizens in the situation which be now held as one of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, for he was sure that had not his conduct for the last thirty years in this great metropolis met with the approbation of his fellow citizens, he never should have been placed in the posi tion which he now held.—(Cheers.) In assuming the high and important office of sheriff he felt he had great duties to perform, which would require all the energies of his mind to be properly carried out. He promised to devote every attention to the question of prison discipline, to an examination into the causes of juvenile crime, and to watch with attention the pro gress of the Ragged Schools. Mr. Sheriff HODOKINSON also returned thanks, ob serving that he concurred fully in the sentiments ex pressed by his colleague. Mr. Alderman CARDEN proposed, in a complimen tary address, " The health of the City Police Com missioner, Mr. D. W. Harvey." Mr. HARVEY returned thanks. He said that all good judges admitted that solid pudding was better than empty praise—(Laughter)—and it was no less true that of all the pleasures which an individual could enjoy of a social character the best was an ele• gant dinner with a graceful compliment.—(Hear.) It was his good fortune on the present occasion to parti cipate in the one and receive the other, and the latter was the more valuable as it proceeded from one who was well aware from experience of the manner in which the force over which be (Mr. Harvey) was plate A discharged its various duties.—(Hear.) He might" ats - 6 observe, :iliNsistice to his own feelings, that in the coming year the force over which he was placed might have to discharge duties in a manner which would show, as the Cursitor Baron had ob servecl,,that all those coming to this country would be safe.—(Cheers.) r , Certainly, the event which we were approaching in the coming year was likely to be more full of incident„than any previous occurrence in our history. They had had, indeed, in 1815,the city of London crowded with the heroes of many fights, who had triumphed over despotism which sought to annihilate all freedom; but on the great oc casion which would occur next year they would have an assembly of a different kind ; they would have coming here from the four quarters of the world phi losophers, men of literature and art, men who would bring their great minds to bear on science and objects peaceful and beneficial to mankind. They would then be inquiring why it was that there existed in this great country that felicitous combination of pro found order with profound love of liberty, and they would be told that it arose from institutions based in past centuries of time and in long experience —(I-Tear, bear)—that it originated in their municipal institu tions, and of which the Corporation of the city of London was a pre-eminent example.—(Applause.) On that occasion it would be his pride to show that the office he held, unobtained by any approach to ser vility, was deserved by him, in consequence of his anxiety to discharge its duties efficiently.—( Applause.) Mr. Alderman CARDEN then proposed " The Go vernor and Corporation of the Bank of England." " The late Sheriffs," and other toasts followed, and the company separated at an advanced hour of the evening. died s t f a ro r l m a t h a w a t tm h a Hast ing s , o(nlrgB7Thomas, K on g , fftajhgue flag-ship, Amazon, r i a p3 h , E, c n a e oa n tts D y ionrn. p dg r Ai e. oi lwi o rn t eh e gw d o. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. n in t h d2 e r 6 e Letters have been received from the latter officer, dated July 27, in which he states he is quite well. The Commander-in-Chief, Admiral the Hon. Sir Bladen Cape!, went out in the Sprightly steam tender, attended by Flag-Lieutenant Cochrane, at two P.m. ' and paid a long visit to Captain Bourecius , on board the Prins Van Orange, Dutch frigate. He left at half-past four o'clock under a salute of 17 guns, which the Victory returned. The Thins Van Orange and the schooner Atalanta, Lieut. Klerck, sailed for Flushing at nine A.M. yesterday. Lieutenants G. A. Ellerman (1841), and R. D. Stupart (1840), have been appointed to study at the Royal N tval College. The Admiralty have given permission to Lieu tenant Tremlett to fit a night steering-wheel which he has projected to the Sprightly steam-tender at Portsmouth. " Adventure store-ship, Master-Commander Peter Wellington, is to be paid off at Devonport, and the Tyne, 22, substituted in her stead, being more ap propriate for that service. Dragon, 6, steam-frigate, Captain H. W. Giffard, will leave Spithead this afternoon, on the arrival of the mail from London, and calling at Devonport for the stores and supernumeraries on board the Thetis, waiting a passage to Lisbon, will proceed thither en route to the Mediterranean. Firefly, 3, steam-sloop, Commander Seymour, to sail from Devonport for the coast of Africa to-mor row, has her complement increased to 80 . Flamer, 3, steam-sloop, Commander St. Leger, arrived at Madeira from Devonport on the 14th Sep tember, and sailed for the coast of Africa on the 17th. Greenock iron screw steam-frigate, at Devonport, was again tried out round the Eddystone on Friday. There is no improvement on her former trials. The Kestrel brigantine (formerly Lord Yarbo rough's yacht), lately paid off at Devonport, having been surveyed and found not worth repair, will be sold at the neat sale of old ships. Niger, 12, screw-sloop, Commander Heath, ar rived at Madeira from Plymouth in nine da3 s and a half, and sailed Sept. 2 en route to the west coast of Africa. North Star, Master-Commander Saunders, is or dered from Portsmouth to Sheerness, to be paid off. She is to be surveyed, and her condition to be re ported. Retribution, 22, steam-frigate, Captain Warden, is ordered from Spithead to Cork, where she will wait further orders. SPECIAL MEETING. The Meeting was then made special. Moved by the Chairman, and carried unanimously, That the Directors be authorised to raise, on Mortgage or Bond, a sum of money not exceeding one hundred thousand pounds. Moved by the Chairman, and seconded, That the Directors be authorised to create and issue such number of Additional Shares, to be donominated Navigation Shares, as shall be equal to 150 Shares of 201. each, in the Capital Stock of this Company, in respect of each Share in the River Dun Navigation ; and that the Company guarantee the payment of a dividend, after the rate of 41. per cent. per annum, in preference to all dividends on the ordinary Shares of the Company, on such of the said Navigation Shares as shall be by the Proprietors accepted in lieu of the ordinary Shares of the Company, non condition that such guaranteed Divi dend shall be in lien of all varying and other Dividends, until or un less such stock shall be redeemed by payment of 3,0001. for each 150 allotted Shares, according to the provisions of the Company's Act. Whereupon an amendment was proposed by Mr. Hadfield, and seconded by Mr. ltoothroyd, That this meeting be adjourned for twelve months, to be held In Yorkshire, _ _ . The Chairman put the amendment to the meeting, when fourteen voted in favour of it, and ten against. he amendment was declared to be carried. WHARNCLIFFE, Chairman. On the motion of Mr. Ironalde, it was Resolved unanimously— That the thanks of the meeting be given to the Chairman for his able conduct in the Chair, and for the fairness and candour of kis explanations to the meeting. J. CHARLES HANDFIELD, Secretary. DISPUTED LITE POLICIES. " A trial of considerable Interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. in the Albion Company as security for an advanee, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of in temperate habits was concealed from the office. the chief evidence turne upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the resu'l was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking Illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by %vh.ch absolute security can he obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of prote-sting them selves in every case by due inquiries before the granting • f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility ot the com pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the present case two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can properly invalidate a laim, and yet the public are expected to be able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to-its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

" This little monthly miscellany continues its praiseworthy ex ertions, with a tone of health and moral strength that would do credit to magazines that claim a position in higher class litera ture. The critical netices arc sound, and decidedly liberal in tone and feeling; and that mystery of literature. the sub ject of `The Myth,' is well, though se•erely, handled by Liolett, who seeks to iurce those cloudy wrappings which are so embar rassing, and to exhibit this dreamy paradox in the most literal sense."—Weekly Dispatch.

The closing match of the season amongst gentle men's yachts belonging to this highly respectable club, for a very elegant silver cup and cover, pre sented by the Rear-Commodore, Mr. G. E. Browne, to be won twice before it becomes the permanent pro perty of the winner, to which was added a presenta tion purse of twenty guineas by the club, took place yesterday, and although attended with misadventuree, which were a source of great regret, was one of the most exciting and beautiful races that we have seen for some time past. The club bad engaged the Gem steamer for the conveyance of members and their friends to witness the match ; and although the morning wore a most forbidding aspect, a very numerous and respectable company, amongst whom were a number of ladies, assembled on board the steamer ; and while the wind blew heavily, and delighted the yachtsmen with anti cipation of good sport, the rain held off, to the great comfort of the visitors. The following yachts were found at their stations on the arrival of the steamer at Erith : I. Alligator, 20 tons, Mr. Henry J. Smith, red with white stripes, and a horse rampant. 2. Whisper, 19 tons, Mr. Thos. Eveleigh, blue, white, and red. 3. Traveller, 10 tons, Mr. G. H. Jackson, red. 4. Phantom, 21 tons, Mr. Samuel Lane, white, red border. 5. Moor Park, 17 tons, Mr. G. E. Browne, three golden lilies, red ground. It was a time match—one minute per ton allowed by all yachts exceeding 10 tons to those not exceed ing 10 tons, and half a minute to those which do ex ceed it; yachts not exceeding 10 tons to allow half a minute per ton to those of lesser tonnage. The distance was from Erith to Thameshaven and back, and there was half a gale blowing from the southward of west. Betting was brisk, the Phantom being the favourite, and the Whisper next in request. A capital and even start was effected at 11 o'clock, under the direction of Mr. Brown, and all canted round almost at the same moment. The Phantom drew a very slight lead at first, but owing to some thing getting foul, was unable to set her topsail for some time, and the Whisper went into the first place, followed by the Phantom, Moor Park, Traveller, and Alligator. At this period, with flowing sheets, and as much sail as they could conveniently stand under, the little fleet pursued its course at an immense rate into Long-reach, where the Alligator became third, and the Traveller fourth. In St. Clement's some of the boats found it necessary to lower their topsails, and there the Whisper appeared to be somewhat simi larly hampered as the Phantom had been at the start. These two boa's retained their position, but were oc casionally so close 'to each other as to threaten a change all the way down ; the Alligator with a steady third, shortly before arriving at the rounding boat, carrying away some portion of her rudder, which prevented her proceeding any further, and rendered it necessary that she should be towed up by the Gem. The other three rounded as follows :—The Whisper, 12 30 .55 ; Phantom, 12 32 10 ; Moor Park, 12 42 4,5; and Traveller, 12 43 15. In the first three or four boards made on the slack, the tide having some time to run down, it appeared that the Whisper was gaining more upon the Phan • torn, and as no important alteration took place for half an hour, it began to be considered that the Whisper's powers were at any rate equal to those of her rival, and that she must eventually carry off the prizes ; but a most gallant contest was yet to follow. From the opening of Gravesend-reach up to Greenhithe there was a succession of skilful manceuvres between the two crews, to describe which would occupy very considerable space. The question was, whether the Whisper could retain her position ; board after board threatened a change, and off Greenhithe the Phantom had just succeeded in getting to windward of the Whisper by about a lengh, and the Whisper was at the instant going aboM, when, hugging the shore opposite Greenhithe too cloiely, she unfortunately rin hard aground, thus putting an unfortunate conclusion to the day's sport at the time the excitement was at its highest pitch. The Phantom continued her course and arrived at Erith the winner at a quarter to five, the Whisper making her appearance in about half an hour afterwards. The prizes were subsequently presented to Mr. Lane, who joined in the general expression of regret that accident should hive prevented the contest being continued rictht up to the winning post. The atten tion of the officers of the club aud the general arrange ments were worthy of much commendation. THE IRON TRADE. The prospects of this trade for the approaching quarterly meetings and the ensuing winter months are far from satisfactory. A ge nerd impression is felt that a large and universal reduction of make is required to open a way for any improvement ; and there appears a disposition on the pact ,of the Welsh ironmasters to join those in Staffordshire and the other districts of this country in coming to an under standing with the Scotch and North of England, and arranging a general reduction to the extent of one third of the whole. It is evident that, even with a continuance of the enormous exports lately induced by the low range at which prices are ruling, the demand falls short of the actual quantities produced, leaving out of the question those already in stock, or represented by the Scotch pig iron scrip. Nor is there any probability that a fresh opening for the consumption of iron will present itself; but, on the contrary, should an advance in the price be estab lished, a contraction in the requirements for foreign markets may rather be expected. The preliminary meeting of our Staffordshire ironmasters was held at Wolverhampton on Thursday last, but was scarcely so well attended as is usually the case. The posi tion of the trade was carefully discussed, and a reso lution was declared that prices should remain as last quarter—nominally, tars and rods 6/. per ton, hoops 61. 10i., sheets 71. 10s., long-weight at the works ; though it is well understood that these figures are not precisely adhered to in the actual transaction of business. It is must desirable that the efforts pro posed for improving the condition of this trade by a general reduction in the make should be persevered in with good faith, and unanimously ; as, should they fail of success, the only alternative will be such a re duction of wages, and a partial abandonment of busi ness, as must inflict great evils upon the whole of the districts where it is carried on. We are sorry to learn that both here and in Scotland some parties are still preparing to put in blast more furnaces, and that works for some time standing have been re•opened, while sales of pigs, bars, rails, and sheets are continu ally coming to light at deplorably ruinous prices. Manufacturers are considered, under existing rates, to be comparatively in a better position than producers of the raw material ; but, from their own statements, it would appear that the most favourably circumstanced are working without profit, and unless some altera tion for the better can shortly be effected, great appre hensions are entertained that another season of widely extended difficulties is inevitably approaching.—Bir mingham Gazette. PRESENTATION OF THE FREEDOM OF DUNDEE TO MR. FOX MAULE. (From the Edinburgh Courant.) Yesterday the provost, magistrates, and town coun cil met in the Town Hall, Dundee, fur the purpose of receiving the Right Hon. Fox Maule., M.P., Se cretary-at-War, and Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Forfar, and presenting him with the freedom of the burgh. Mr. Mettle having been introduced to the members of the council by the provost, the council proceeded in procession to the Thistle Hall, where it had been arranged that the proceedings should take place. The ball, to which admission was by tickets, was filled by a most respectable assemblage of nearly 900 persons, a great number of whom were ladies. In addition to those belonging to Dundee, several parties were present from the neighbourhood. Among those present we observed the Countess of Camper down, Viscountess Duncan, Lady E. Duncan, Lady Jane and Sir John Ogilvy, Vice-Admiral and Mrs. Sykes, Hon. Mrs. Maule, George Duncan, Esq., M.P., David Hunter, Etq., of Blackness, Sheriff Hen derson, &c. Thetis, 38, Captain Kuper, C. 8., will be taken into dock at Devonport about Thursday or Friday next, and most likely taken out again the same evening. Vulcan iron screw steam-frigate, Sheerness, is or dered to be immediately fitted as a troop-ship. QUARTERLY OBITUARY.
