REPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the HOUSE of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM—the New and Important Feature of Life Assurance adopted by The DEPOSIT and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. _ _ The following is an extract from the Report of the Select Com mittee : " THE OBJECTS which persons HAVE IN VIEW IN EFFECTING IN SURANCES upon their lives, are GENERALLY OF AN IMPORTANT AND SOLEMN character, viz., the PROVISION FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS after the deat'a of their NAT URAL PROTECTORS ; unlike any ordinary transaction of trade, a CONTRACT ONCE ENTERED INTO CANNOT BE DISCHARGED OR ABANDONED, if doubts of the stability of an office should arise, WITHOUT ♦ SACRIFICE OF PREMIUMS PAID IN PAST TEARS, and the necessPy of effecting new policies in other offices at increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age of the assured ; persons are thus placed in the ANXIOUS AND UN HAPPY DILEMMA OF BEING 4POMPELLED TO PERSEVERE IN PAYING PREMIUMS FROM YEAR TO YEAR, with SOME suspicion and doubt as to the ultimate advantage of doing SO, OR OF INCURRING THE SE RIOUS LOSS WHICH, UNDER THE MOST FAVOURABLE CIRCUMSTANCES, MUST ATTEND TIM ABANDONMENT OR BALE OF A rotacy," On the DErosix SYSTEM a person is NOT "COMPELLED" to pay from " YEAR TO YEAR," and he does not, if desirous of " ♦BANDON INO" his Policy, incur any sinuous Loss," but, on the contrary, he may pay such amounts, and at such times as he may find most con venient; ho can stop paying whenever he pleases, and be 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the Policy is cancelled; if part only, then the value of the Policy is diminished by the assured value of the part withdrawn. A 13, aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment of 51., which it will be seen he increases from time to time, and occasionally diminishes. •-• H . 3 '71'2. -. 7. '" '!'7S'V NV 04 V , .

The Ministers are cap in hand to " that person " ; members of the family of " Borgia" share the royal hospitalities of Windsor ; the journals who denounced the Imperial Cain are now bursting with fraternity ; and the people of England, who, however prejudiced and passionate for the moment, are in the long run ever just, have pretty generally come to the conclusion that Lord Malinesbury, after all, was an able and faithful British Minister, who understood unexpectedly i e rato ti which gained the interests of the country, and skilfully regulated the circumstances of the times. In the meantime that has occurred which it was, per haps, not unreasonable to deem inevitable.. Having Aberdeen bn o e rcr "foreignet di ene necessary nooff La noyr reign of ten years would have given him, with a scut cheon clear, and his libellers become his sycophants, the triumphantly annou rfe n ti t Emperor of the French aspires to something more than a policy f 49- words, and is resolved to consolidate his throne by his active alliance with England.

This was more than ten days ago, and his Excellency has not returned yet. What is wanted in Paris is a distinct reply to a definite pro position. There was a cabinet on this subject, called suddenly exactly a week ago ; our ministers sat nearly four hours, even though they were not favoured by the refinements of Mr. Gladstone, or the interruptions of the Duke of Argyll ; but their conclusion was so un satisfactory, that one may almost say their foreign policy is in as promising a condition as their " large measure of Parliamentary Reform."—Press. . the breeder, Mr, William Hewer, of Serenhampten, near Highworth.

The annual show of the Smithfield Cattle Club, which was opened this morning to the public at Baker-street Bazaar, is equal, if not superior, to many of former years both as to the extent and quality of the stock exhibited. The well-deserved ridicule thrown sometime ago up on those who seemed to think that excellence consisted in squeezing, as it were, the utmost possible amount of fat into the systems of the different animals has had a beneficial effect, and instead of monstrosities of obesity, we have an exhibition of cattle whose dis tinguishing feature is symmetry of form, superiority of breed, and that kind of build and degree of fatness which renders them more serviceable to the community. The entries which are in all upwards of three hundred in number—of which 29 were pure Devons, 20 pure Here fords, 'and 39 pure short horns—exhibit a goodly array of aristocratic candidates for the gold and silver medals of the club, there being amongst them H.R.H. Prince Albert, Dukes of Richmond and Bedford; Marquis of Exeter, Earls of Leicester, Aylesford, Radnor, Darnley, Harborough, and Lord Portman, together with a long list of squires of high degree and gentlemen farmers of well known reputation. As far as we were able to form an opinion from a hasty view last evening, we are inclined to think that the judges have acted most impartially in allotting the prizes, and that their awards will readily be affirmed by those who are competent to speak on the subject. In deed, to the unpractised eye the superiority of the prize animals, as compared with the rest, must be at once ap parent. The short horns have carried off the two gold medals competed for in the cattle classes. These, it will be seen, have been obtained by Mr. Richard Stratton, of Broad Hinton, near Swindon, Wilts, one of the largest cattle breeders in the kingdom, and who got the two principal prizes of last year. His Royal Highness Prince Albert has,_ in the pig classes, outstripped all his conipetitnrs; - a positiarrlie' never before achieved. His Royal Highness has ob tained the gold medal, with silver medal to breeder, and the first prize of 101., for his pen, numbered 281—a pen of three-40 weeks and 5 days, Suffolk bred by the ex hibitor, and fed on barley meal and milk, and the ani mals certainly appear to justify the position they have taken. Lord Radnor has not been so fortunate as usual with his herd of pigs this year, notwithstanding the fact that the Coleshill breed of this year exhibit the usual apoplectic appearance. In the sheep classes, the Duke of Richmond has been more than usually successful, as be has carried off nearly all the prizes in the short-woolled, or South Down Classes, including the gold and silver medals, and the highest prize in those classes. Mr. G. S. Fol jambe, of Osberton Hall, near Worksop, Notts, is the fortunate contributor who has obtained the gold medal, and the prize of 201., for the long-woolled sheep. In the gallery containing the agricultural implements the reaping machines are in force, and amongst them will be seen with interest the original invention of Mr. Bell, to which the Americans owe the whole principle of their much-vaunted machine. It is much simpler than any of its successors, but the whole of the principle is included, and it is satisfactory to add, that it now enters success fully into competition with all corners. Another ma chine, called the automaton, will be much looked at for its curious eccentric motion, but of its practical value some doubts are entertained, as in a recent experiment the corn was not delivered as quickly as was deemed necessary to make the machine a perfect success. Smith's patent reaping machine also deserves investiga tion from its simplicity, its ingenious arrangement, and the facility with which it is worked. Amongst the company present at the private show last evening were Lord Portman, one of the Vice-Presi dents of the club ; the Earl of Essex, Lord Walsingham, the Hon. Col. Wood, the Marquis of Exeter, Sir E. Landseer, &c., &c. The following is a list of th e prizes : DEvoNs.

THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AND HIS PECUNIARY RESOURCES. (From the Press.) Early in the spring, when the Russian movements in the East began to attract public attention, and so prove inconvenient to Lord Aberdeen and his friends, it was the fashion of that "safe" statesman to speak with com plete confidence of the result, observing always that the Emperor of Russia was a man of honour, whose word could be never doubted, and whose purpose could be never prejudicial ; in short, " a real prince ;" intimating thereby that some other Emperors were not real princes, were not men of honour, and that their word was not to be trusted. As affairs prOgressed, the tone of Lord Aberdeen began to change. First of all it was circulated by the Treasury runners that the Emperor of Russia was " mad ; ' then it was announced, and by Lord Aberdeen himself, that the Emperor was " ill, very ill." Now, as neither of these delicate announcements have "settled the Eastern question," it is suddenly dis covered that the Emperor is something much worse, at least in England, than either a lunatic or an invalid, and that he is a pauper. His Majesty is so hard up that he is obliged to close his account at the Bank of England, and force a remission to St. Petersburg of so paltry a sum as 600,0001. or 700,0001. ; although more than half that amount will be wanting, in a very few months, to pay the Russian dividends due in London. Indeed, it is even added that the Emperor meditates, under some false pretence or other, raising another loan of five millions sterling in our market. Now, in our opinion, there is nothing more silly than unjustly to depreciate and disparage an opponent. We oppose the Russian system because we believe, if suc cessful, it would be dangerous to the independence of Europe, and fatal to the empire of Great Britain, but we oppose that system on political grounds, and political -grounds alone. -We are not prepared to demonstrate that the moral iniquity of invading the Principalities is more heinous than that of the invasions of Algiers and Afghanistan, and, instead of believing that the Emperor of Russia is mad, we, on the contrary, are of opinion that he is a most able prince, entirely worthy of his position, and very likely to succeed in effecting his pur pose, if he be opposed only by such statesmen as "anti quated imbecility" and "foreign conspirators." But of all the absurdities now afloat the greatest is that which would persuade the people of this country that the Emperor of Russia is a pauper. There are some facts, rather different from those which are served up by " the organs," but which, nevertheless, may be relied on. Since the month of August past the Emperor of Russia has withdrawn from English securi ties in the Bank of England and the city of London, not a few hundred thousand pounds, but a sum exceeding six millions and a half sterling. During the same period M. Kisseleff, at Paris, has withdrawn from the Bank of France a rather larger sum. A considerable portion of these thirteen millions sterling and upwards have been transmitted to Holland, where the Emperor possesses a treasure superior in amount to both the sums drawn from London and Paris. Now are these by any means all the personal resources of his Majesty ; and it should be understo . od that these are not treasures of the State or nation, but of the man and the monarch. The Em peror can carry on two campaigns on a great scale without increasing the taxes of his subjects. What other monarch in Europe or Asia can say the same ? With a regularly-increasing revenue, also, the whole national debt of all the Russias does not nearly amount to double one year's interest on the 'United Kingdom. We some times think that these "crumpling-up" stories of the resources of Russia and its Prince are purposely circu lated by Russian agents to deceive the " Cockneys of London and Muscadins of Paris."

INJUSTICE TO TH E COFFEEHOUSE KEEPERS.—We have received numerous communications from the cof feehouse keepers of the metropolis, complaining of the flagrant injustice . done them by the imposition of the house-tax, which exacts from them ninepence in the Pound, whilst for every other inhabited dwelling house used for the sale of goods, the shop or warehouse being en the ground floor, or for the retail sale of beer, wine, or spirits, only sixpence in the pound is demanded. This inequality is monstrously absurd, and as it is per fectly indefensible on any ground that we can perceive, we have no doubt that a combined effort on the part, of the aggrieved would have the effect of inducing the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take the matter into consideration, with the view of remedying the injustice. It is a matter for special wonder how the coffeehouse keepers came to let the additional tai be imposed on them originally without giving it their most earnest and determined opposition.—Sunday [ADVER'rISEMENT.]---TheEarl of Aldborough and Hol loway's Pills.—An astounding cure by.this miraculous medicine after every other means had failed.

In the sweat of his brow shall man earn his bread, and, so long as he is willing to work, bread he may claim as a right. This right we recognise by our Poor Laws, and the amount of relief they are intended to afford, whilst sufficient to preserve health, is less than could be procured by the wages of labour. It is only in periods of great distress, or when there is something wrong in our social condition, 4that the workhouse can be voluntarily resorted to by men able to labour. In Lancashire the workmen out on strike have, to some extent, applied for parochial relief, and it has been granted, whilst threats have been uttered that this is only a commencement, and that they will enter the unions en, mane, for the double purpose of sustaining themselves and of raising the rates. Now, it may well be a question whether, under the circum stances, these weavers and mechanics can claim to be maintained at the masters' expense if the masters will not raise their wages. It is clear that if a per son chooses to live at another's cost, that other has a right to require his services in return, and, if they are not given, to withdraw the support granted ; therefore, if the weavers execute their threat and resort to the th lisioar-in-ousunds, the-least they can expeect is that they should be compelled to work. But suppose the work selected should be that in which they are skilled—suppose it should be their own trade— suppose they should be allotted or assigned in gangs to the master manufacturers,—where would be their ten per cent. then—where their weekly wages—where their honest independence ? Nor is this supposition a vain assumption without substance. To this it must come at last ; and many of them must remember when it was a sys tem widely existing in England. Under the vicious working of the old poor law, when a majority of the labouring classes received parochial relief, wages were, in effect, paid in rates. The evils of this system were monstrous ; the men were idle and degraded ; gaining little by their labour, they did not " work with a will," whilst the amount of rates exceeded what wages would have been, because in the workhouses the waste was universal. But bad as this system was, it is clearly bet ter thau to have high rates and no labour in return ; and the men on strike may depend upon it that if they exe cute their threat the consequences we have indicated will follow. We are not now expressing any opinion on the main question, but only on one isolated act by which the men may threaten to carry on the contest. But when we read that one D. Nutter demanded an advance of 30/. per cent.,—"not because he thought the trade " would allow it, but because he thought the state of society wanted renovating,"— and when we further learn that Mr. D. Nutter is one of the leaders of the move ment, we cannot but suspect the prudence of those who act under such guidance. To renovate society by de manding an impossibility—why, what stuff is this ! In Burnley and its neighbourhood are fifty-seven firms, whose action on this question is united. The popula tion of this district is nearly 120,000, of whom at least 60,000 heretofore found employment in the mills. The number of looms is about 50,000, the cotton consumed per week about 10,000 bags, and over this mass of property and population influence is exer cised by such men as Mr. D. Nutter ! The time for the strike could not, for the operatives, have been worse se lected—winter and war at hand, money dear, and foreign markets glutted—just the very time when it would be advisable to diminish the production. Accordingly we find that, oven where the operatives had not struck, their services are partially dispensed with. At Stock port 20,000 persons are employed in the mills, and there the masters will only work four days a week. Under these circumstances, it is obvious that the men are fighting a losing game. Political events, the season of the year, the state of the markets, all are in favour of the masters. The trifle the operatives receive from their toiling brethren will cease with mid-winter. The work house then may be a refuge from starvation : but not unless their labour is not wanted. For, whilst our law recognises the rights of poverty when it arises from mis fortune, it can never be tolerated that men who had failed by abstaining from work, to reduce the masters to their terms, should impoverish them by living in idle ness on those rates which are obtained from the master's property. —Press. CHANGES OF OPINIONS. Amid the strange vicissitudes of the life of the Ens. peror of the French, none afford a more startling contrast than the tone and temper in which he is viewed by the Court, the Government, and the people of this country at the present moment, and the spirit in which his name and conduct were considered by them less than a year back. Less than a year ago the most considerable journal in the country, the " organ" of Lord Aberdeen, acting under his immediate instructions, pro- duced almost daily a fierce invective against the ruler of France, proscribing him from the pale of civilisation as a brigand, a pirate, a spoliator of the rights and properties of men, a Borgia of the middle ages, a tyrant of Greek history. The object of these diatribes was to stimulate men to his overthrow, and apparently to encourage his assassina tion. The frank recognition of his imperial dignity by Lord Malmesbury was cavilled at for its precipitation ; and, when the Minister reminded Parliament that Louis Napoleon had been twice chosen ruler of France by the universal people, his expressions were stigmatised as un worthy of a British Minister. At this period Lord Aberdeen, then on th e th res h o l d of office, and who made the dangerous management of our foreign affirs . p_i: , principal excuse for overthrowing a Government he l' i b a L e i t lie had voluntarily promised to support, was in the of speaking of the ruler of France to foreign e lA,ln'3tle his as " that person " and never hesitated to disseminate with opinion that Louis Napoleon was an justified in m ain whom no British Minister was etion.

YOUTH AND MATURITY, MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical ,-trsPiety, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro- Weed more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases 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 existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various torms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless 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 consequent es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement 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 inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
