Sec pagess and7ln detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Nelson, Esq. * The rAtea hare *elected are those adopted by the English and The rates bore selected are those adopted by the English and Cambrian Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low rates of premium, and professedly for the lower and tnidding classes. In Most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish Equitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. Is the Termer of 101. 7s. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, would be the rate to insure 5001. at 20 years ofage. In the latter 81. 13s 4d., to insure the same sum. The higher the rate the more in favour of the DEPOSIT system. t Money laid out at compound interest DOUBLES ITSELF every four teen years. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow ing advantages, viz., lst. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2 ndly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Polley he can receive in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages, Tuxes times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy he can do so at pleasure. He can, at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 1/ up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three Years, or any time afterwards, raise his policy to a greater or even is former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a hank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte rest fur his money, and in case of death his family receive mere than the amqunt of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any fund to fly to for aid. all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking tobewheivcehrlcoaonkebde and DEPOSIT assurance i s t h e on l y system of assurance universally- recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and IN palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of death, thus fof the Compaomny bin to ing the the re p re sentatives of the Depositor n case _, ___ AN _ A DVANTAGES OF A ttK wi TH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE In ease of endowment assurances the COMPANY.advantages system are stilt more striking. vantages of the DEPOSIT ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY T IND , LIFE ASSITRANcE B r tAN ATIIE ORDINARY To those who pre fer this branch Policies are . g 5,000/. on every kn own p rinciple therpof. granted f rom 20/ . to Lives in all but the worst stages of disease, a n d such rejected by other Offices, are taken at rates equivalent to have been cular diseve. of security, to the pant- Loans from 50/. and upwards granted on every hind real or personal, on the most equitable terms to the borrower Annuities of every desc r iption granted on very favourable t erms Non-forfeiture of a Policy — ln c ase of inability to pay the cu rra n t Premiums, the Directors will either purchase the Policy a t a fair market value, or give a new one in lieu thereof, less 5 per cent.. inte rest cerr.sponding in amount to the whole of the previous payme n t, Which have been made.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under th., personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the Sew legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

Graham, with the Secretary, Mr. Bernal Osborne, M.P., paid their first official visit to Somerset House. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 11. We have had nothing but a . succession of gales. This morning, at half-past eight, it blew a perfect hurricane for about half an hour from the southward. The wind then got up to W.N.W., and promised finer weather. At two p.m., however, it backed again to S.W., and has been blowity , and raining a deluge. The squadron at Spithead have struck topgallant masts, housed topmasts, got lower yards down, and pre pared for a stormy night. A clipper-built ship, of remarkable length, was brought up at Spithead about ten a.m. She is called the Chal lenge, Capt. Pitts, is nearly 260 feet in length, 46 feet beam, and over 2,000 tons. She left the Downs on Sun day. The boisterous state of the weather drove her in here. She is bound to Hong-Kong. Mr. Alfred Balliston, the Acting-Master of her Ma jesty's steam-yacht Elfin, has been this day confirmed or promoted to the rank of Master, and re-appointed to the command of the Elfin. The Sidon, 22, paddle steam-frigate, Captain Gold smith, got up steam this morning to go to Spithead, being manned and ready for sea ; but immediately after she cast off from her hulk some sad fatality overtook her, and she was compelled to come to an anchor in the, middle of the harbour. We believe some important por tion of her machinery became deranged, which she will immediately repair. The Furious, 16, paddle steam-frigate, Captain Lor ing, got up steam this morning and proceeded to Spit head, to await further orders. She saluted the Acting- Commander-in-Chief, Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8., on going out. The Rodney, 90, Captain Charles Graham, C. 8., is ordered to come into this harbour. The Simoom iron steam-frigate (screw), 18, Captain Kingcome, has been detained the past few days for a freight in specie from the Treasury for conveyance to Malta for Government service. The money, to the amount of 10,0001., arrived in special charge from the Treasury last night, and has since been shipped on board the Simoom, which will leave for Malta (calling at Queenstown for troops) as soon weather moderates. Th e Veneance, 84, Captain Lo r d Henry Russell, is ordered to ° Devonport, t o b e " paid down, " and refit, and will sail as soon a s th e weather moderates. • The Encounter, 14, screw, Captain O'Callaghan, is ordered to prepare for sea . as the present stormy During the awful weather which prevailed yesterday, two seamen belonging to her Majesty's ship Rodney were drowned alongside the Victory, at about four o'clock in the afternoon. It appears from what we can glean from various so urces, that the boat from the Rod ney was on shore, and, una bl e to return to Spithead in consequence of the adve rse gale blowing, the crew took her to the flag-ship for shelter. The crew had left the boat, with the exception of the two boat-keepers, who were in the act of securing the boat when one of them was unfortunately knocked off the swinging-boom ; the other, in the honourable and praiseworthy endeavour to the life - of his ship mate, save jumped overboard after him, but both perished. S HEERNESS, JAN. 11. The Agamemnon, 91, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland. —An accident having happened to the hydraulic pump which raises and lowers the propeller of this ship, it has been found necessary to shift all her after guns and stores from aft to forward, to bring her down in the water bythe head, for the purpose, if possible, of ascertaining the ex tent of the accident. If this cannot be accomplished she will be taken into dock here these springs to make good the damage sustained. - The Cyclops, 6.—ln consequence of a probability of the Agamemnon requiring to b ' ocked this frigate was not taken into the fitting basil esterd ay . The Myrtle, William S. Bo Ver, got u p s t eam yes terday at noon, and proceed to Ch atham for Mr. Thomas Crafter, the 'Queen's t th ere, and returned u t again. Mr Crafter is ordere to attend to pilot her Majesty's 60-gun screw steam-shT Impdrieuse from the Nore to Chatham. The Hart, P. Green, arrived here on Sunday last from Harwich, with 17 fine stout la,d4 volunteers for the ser vice, 16 of whom were rejected yesterday, in conse quence of their not having been engaged in boats or coast instructions.

C. 8., had her steam up shortly after seven o'clock this morning, and hating heaved her anchor started on a further trial trip bOween the Nore and Mouse Lights, in the deep water of that channel. She soon left the Monkey and Africa steam-vessels far behind, to the surprise of the crews of the numerous craft on the river ; her low, telescopic funnel being almost invisible over her high bulwarks, and they looked with astonishment to see a vessel of the dimensions of the Imp4riense moving with such speed, and having no paddlewheels or outward appearance of the mode in which she was propelled. She arrived at the Nore at 35 minutes past nine, and finished her trial, running the distance of 15 knots and 200 yards from the Nore light to the Mouse light and back, at 13 minutes past eleven, showing a speed of 8 . 927 knots against the tide, which ran very strong, and a speed of 12'•120 with the tide, but against a double reef topsail breeze. The aver age of the run out and back to the Nore was conse quently 10'673 knots per hour, and the number of strokes of the direct acting trunk engines, on John Penn and Son's patent principle, as counted by a Machine in ope ration during the whole trial, was 67 . 7 per minute, and an equal number of revolutions of the screw propeller, 16 feet 6 inches in diameter, and having a pitch of 16 feet. The draught of water of the Impdrieuse during the trial was 16 feet forward and 13 feet 3 inches aft. After the trial the Imperieuse was steered for the Med way, and, having taken on board a pilot sent out by the Admiral from the port of Sheerness, she proceeded up that river, and arrived under the sheer hulk at. Chatham at five minutes past one o'olock p.m., where one of her masts and bowsprit was suspended in mid air ready to be put on boar". It is worthy of remark, as unexam pled in any previous trial of engines for the first time, that there was not, from the moment the Impiirieuse left Woolwich until she arrived at Chatham, an engi neer's stoppage for one 'second to adjust any of the screws or other parts of the engines. Everything worked so satisfactorily that the few adjustments required were performed with the greatest ease while at full speed. The only times the engines had to be eased was when the numerous vessels in the river Could not get out of her way. - PROMOTIONS. To the rank of Lieutenant.—Mates :—Charles Gowan Lindsay (June 24, 1850) and William Henry Jones (June, 1851), of the Cumberland, 70, flag-ship, West Indies, have been promoted by Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, C. 8., G.C.H., the Commander-in-Chief, to the death vacancies in the Dauntless, 33, screw-frigate, at Barbadoes, and appointed to that ship ; John Jenkins (May, 1851), of the Devastation, 6, steam-sloop, West Indies (acting), and appointed to that ship, vice Wil loughby John Smith (April, 1850), of the Cumberland, promoted to the vacancy in the Scorpion, 4, surveying vessel, by the death of Lieut. Kelham ; Frederick W. Wilson (March, 1850), of the Calypso, 18, to be acting lieutenant of that corvette, vice Lieutenant Algar, invalided. APPOINTMENTS. Lieut. Charles R.

(1828), has been appointed Superintendent of Deptford Dock a.ndVictual ling establishments, vice Captain the Hon. R. Dundas, C. 8., appointed a Lord of the Admiralty. The fact of this appointment was made known to the officers of the estabhshment yesterday by Captain Dundas, who carries with him to the Board of Admiralty the respect of every officer and man at Deptford. We gave no credence to the report that Sir James Graham was about to appoint his brother, Captain Graham, to the vacant berth, for although the gallant captain is on the senior list, and two officers junior to him have superintendentships of dockyards, it would have looked rather invidious on the part of the First Lord of the Admiralty to have first made a vacancy by nominat ing Captain Dundas a member of his board, and then have filled up the vacant five years' appointment by no minating.his own brother. With th e appo i n t men t o f Captain Martin no one can find fault. It is a just and fair selection ; for in him we believe the navy has a very good, as we know it has a very gallant and distinguished officer, and his standing, experience, and active habits render him well qualified for the post of a dockyard superintendent, having served actively, in all grades, about 22 years. Captain Martin is third and youngest son of the late Henry Martin, Esq., of Colston Basset, Notts, a magistrate for the county, M.P. for Kinsale, and one of the Masters in Chaneery ; and nephew of the late Admiral of the Fleet, Sir George Martin, G.C.8., G.C.M.G. He entered the Royal Naval College, April 3, 1812 ; and embarked, 1815, as midshipman of the Impregnable. He was m a d e a li eu t enant in 1821, and served as flag lieutenant in the Queen Charlotte, 100, to Sir J. H. Whitshed, when Commander-in-Chief at Ports mouth. Ho got the " haul-down " promotion in 1824, and was posted as soon as he had served his time, for his share at the Navarino action, in command of the Mus quito, 10. As a captain he commanded the Volage, 26, in 1835 ; Caledonia, 120, as flag-ship of Sir Josias Row ley, to 1837 ; commissioned the Eagle, .50, in Nov., 1844, and commanded her at Brazils, and then in the West ladies for three years, and from September, 1851, commanded the Victory, at Portsmouth, as flag captain to the late Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.M.G., whose daugh ter he married, and by whom, we believe„ he has 10 children. Captain Martin, who obtained his C.D. and other honours for Navarino, paid a visit to Deptford yester day.—Morning Herald.. THE RESTORATION OF LIEUT. ENGLEDUE. The Portsmouth correspondent of the Times, referring to Lieut. Engledue, truly says-- " The restoration of Mr. Engledue, the manager of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's flotilla at Southampton, to his former rank in the Royal Navy, is the theme of general conversation in naval circles at this port. All praise the act of restoration, as Lieut. Engledue stands high in the estimation of all practical naval officers who know his merits ; but all are puzzled to which Board of Admiralty—the Northumberland or the Graham—to award the credit of having done him this tardy justice." We believe it is now pretty well understood that the restoration of Mr. Engledue was the last official act of the late Board of Admiralty, with the concurrence of the board elect, and it is said that the chief recom mendation to the board was, after the consideration of the sharp practice from which he suffered, his handsome and patriotic offer on a recent occasion to train all the crews of the contract mail steam-packets at Southampton in the art of gunnery, in order to make them an efficient and available force, in the event of their services being required for the defence of the country ; and his gene rous offer also to register and enlist seamen for the ge neral service. The Duke of Northumberland, and others of the late board, perceived the great value of having such an officer belonging to their own service at Southampton ; and thus in his restoration they repaired to some extent the injury he had sustained at the hands of others. But if the late board were alive to the value of his position, there can be no doubt that Sir James Graham will not have forgotten the service merits of this officer. We believe it was Sir James Graham who wished to make all seamen good gunners, by which, it is said, be thought he could do away with the marine artillery. Be that as it may, however, Sir James took a great interest in the establishment of the Excellent, and Mr. Engledue having bees the first officer who passed out of the Excellent, he must have' been regarded with special favour by the right honourable baronet, for the last pro motion which Sir James made before leaving office, in 1834, was that of Mr. Engledue, for his proficiency in naval gunnery. Since that time dozens of officers have risen rapidly on account of their Excellent education— indeed they have been the most favoured of the service, and• many are now captains and commanders, who were pupils of Mr. Engledue, and one of them, Captain Jer ningham, is now an extra captain of the Excellent. There is no doubt that had Sir James Graham continued First Lord of the Admiralty Mr. Engledue would not have been neglected ; but now it is rather a singular coincidence, that, after a lapse of 19 years the lieutenant and his official patron r e - en t er th e Navy List at the same time. His a long interregnum for Mr. Ingledue, but the opportunity is now offered to the successor of the Duke of Northumberland to emulate the last act of his grace, by completing that measure of justice to one who has already received the reward of merit at his hands by promoting Lieutenant Engledue to one of the first com mander's vacancies that may fall to his patronage.— Morning fferald. THE ROT,IISH' CHURCH IN LOWER CANADA.—A Mon treal journal gives the following account of the cost o. the Roman Catholic Church in Lower Canada :—" The amount of tithes paid to the Catholic clergy by the Ca tholic population is at least 100,0001. per year, which would be for the last 25 years alone the sum of 2,500,000/. Upper Canada is free from such a tax. The loss of time caused to the Catholic population of Lower Canada by the ,number of obligatory holidays, novena, retraites, &c., is at least 50 days per year for each person, besides the Sabbath. The Catholic population of Lower Ca nada, between the ages of 15 to 16 years, is at least 300,000 persons ; each losing 50 days per year, which is 15,000,000 days lost, at a shilling per day, is an annual loss of 750,0001. The loss for the last 25 years would be 18,750,0001. The money paid by the Catholic popu lation of Lower Canada for low masses, high masses, funeral services, funeral anniversaries, marriage expenses, celebration of • marriages, ceremonies, &e., becomes also a considerable sum, and canno t be less than 300,0001. per year, which would be for the last 25 years 7,600,000/. A MODERN ROMANCE.—Madame Carregot, the Mexi can passenger who died on board the Magdalena of yel low fever, was a French girl o f a b ou t 22 years o f age. A young Mexican merchant met her in Paris, and becom ing enamoured, took her about two months ago to the city of Mexico to his friends, with the intention of mar rying her. His friends, who are of the highest respecta bility, objected on account of her inferior rank and cha racter, and sent her to Europe. They, however, treated her with great kindness while she was with them, sent a person with her to take care of her as far as Vera Cruz, paid her passage to Southampton, and gave her 3,500 dollars. It was understood that she received that money in cash, and when she died her boxes were examined, and it was found that the money was in the form of a draft on one of the first Mexican mercantile houses in Paris. It was discovered by her papers that Carregeot was an assumed ,name, and that she had an extengive correspondence with the fregyenters of theatres, and many of the gay ones of Paris.

Sidney Herbert has been returned yesterday without opposition. A contest was generally expected, in consequence of Mr. Grantley Berkely having addressed the constituency, and placed his services at their disposal. Mr. Alexander Pole proposed, and Mr. J. H. Jacob seconded, the nomination of the right hon. gentleman. There being no other candidate proposed the right hon. gentleman was declared duly elected. Mr. S. HERBERT proceeded to, address the persons assembled in explanation of the course which he had pursued since his previous election. He then reviewed the acts of the Derby-Disraeli administration and stated that knowing the high character of the Earl of Aber deen, who has been called upon to form the new govern ment, when he (Mr. Herbert) was called upon to join that administration he felt little difficulty, for he had little faith in the principle of the 2240 episcop ari. At the same time he must say, that although he was not unac quainted with the sweets of office, he knew that he had many enjoyments of private life to give up, and many personal comforts to sacrifice. Such sacrifices he was perfectly ready to make, if he could be of any service to his county. (Hear.) The party to which he was attached long held an isolated . position, but they thought that the, time was come when by collecting their forces they might coalesce with those with whose political opinions they were to a certain extent identified. The government was now formed, and the gentlemen around him could as well judge as himself what it was competent to achieve. They had, in some respects, a difficult task to perform. The foun dation that was laid for the material prosperity of this country in 1846 was now rendered fixed and permanent, despite of the exertions cf the 53 or 56 members of the House of Commons who still held on to protection. Such a thing as a Protectionist was now hardly to be seen out of the House of Commons. They had this advantage over their predecessors in office—that they had not appealed to the country to find a policy for them, and they should call upon the country to assist them in supporting it. They would continue to adhere 'to free trade principles, and not only so, but they were determined to extend them, because they knew that they were wise, just, and beneficial. (Hear.) Talk about their not being an united Administration ! Why, all Le Ministerial addresses that had been issued showed their deep attachment to the institutions of the country,, while they were determined to promote sound reforms. They did not hold various .creeds—those who repre sented counties holding one creed, while those who pre sented themselves before borough constituencies pro fessed another ; they were decided upon principles which they themselves originated, and which they believed to be true. (Hear, hear.) He might be allowed to say that with respect to the question of reform, they should seek from the country time to give it a patient and deliberate consillern,tion. He was not one of those who wished to abolish our ancient institutions, but still he thought they ought to be so modified as to adapt them to the circumstances of the times. (Hear.) He wished to see education extensively spread amongst the people. He thought that to the prevalence of education was to be attributed much of the peaceful spirit which had of late years prevailed amongst the people, and of that in creased moral feeling which was perceptible in every di rection. The people of England were generous and liberal, and must be governed in a generous and liberal spirit. Governments have spoken in fear of the people, , and when governments spoke in fear of the people it was not unnatural that the people should fear the government. Fear was not the right principle to pre vail between the people and the government. He hoped that whatever reforms they might have to make they would be guided by a firm attachment to the constitution of the country. In promoting education there were many difficulties to encounter on account of the religious conviction of England. There were countries in which education had been carried further than in England, but with less success, because religion was not connected with it, and he was convinced that without religion edu cation could have no lasting foundation. (Hear, hear.) He wished to see the Church of England predominant in this country, for he had a deep attachment to that church. He wished to see its usefulness extended, its efficiency increased, and all its abuses removed. At the same time that he professed his deep attachment to the Church of England—which was his church and his creed—he wished to give full toleration and liberty to all other religious sects, for he was not one of those who thought that the infliction of civil penalties ever tended to the advancement of religious truth. (Hear, hear.) Religion flourished most where persecution was unknown. For himself, he would make no promises, and would not bid for popularity. He would endeavour to do his duty in the situation he had been called upon to fill, and when at last he sheathed his sword he trusted he might have the satisfaction of reflecting that, to some extent, he had been humbly instrumental in promoting the benefit ,of his country. The right hon. gentleman concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the Under- Sheriff for the manner in which he conducted the election. The UNDER SHERIFF acknowledged the compliment, and the proceedings terminated. COUNTY OF CAVAN. The election to fill the vacancy in the representation of the above county, caused by the acceptance of the office of Secretary of Ireland by Sir John Young, Bart, was held on Monday in the Court-house, Cavan. The venerable Archdeacon BERESFORD proposed, and Mr. W. H. ADAMS seconded, the nomination of the right hon. Bart., and there being no other candidate proposed, he was declared duly elected. Sir JOHN YOUNG then said—Gentlemen, I beg leav e to return you my most sincere thanks. I assure you that I am deeply sensible of the honour you have done me in electing me again, after so many times and so many trials, to be a representative of this county. . I assure you I have the deepest sense of the responsibility which you have imposed on me, and I have an equally deep sense--I may say conscientiously, a most nervous sense of the respon sibility, of the office which I have undertaken to :fill. (Hear.) The vote which displaced Lord Derby was,. on the whole, to me a matter of regret ; and it was a matter of surprise that on that vote he went out. I believe that his Government had within it elements of power which would have materially benefitted this country, and on ms ~ ,n Y specific gro un d s T regret that particular officers in that ( ,-o vernment have been displaced. With many of them I l i n L l v v e n been connected by ties of friendship ; for many of them I 1_ at the highest possible respect, and in particularl am sorry t Mr. Napier has been displaced.

L.;... ..;,...- led to my conclusions on that subject, The consequence of that statement was, that at the last election I lost a great deal of independent support, which otherwise I should have undoubtedly received ; but I believe firmly_ t that the general grounds of policy upon which my opi nion was founded are those which are beneficial for all classes of religionists in Ireland. I firmly believe that a ' .: little forbearance on the one side and on the other, a little 1 4 : less of the admixture of religious questions . in political ''• .., disputes, would. be one of. the greatest elements of coal- , cord amongst us. (Hear.) I believ (that if we could* leave to religion its own beneficent, charitable, and peace able character, and not mixit with a,erimonious'foelings— if we could believe that others are sincere in their belief and that that belief acts beneficially in practice, we should be doing good service to religion, and no harm at all to political questions. (Hear, bear.) I am quite sure of this, that it is not the doctrines of any religion, it is not its morality, it is not the matters inculcated by it which tend to embroil 2ociety so much as the ad mixture of it with secular and often interested motives. If we could keep religion clear of those motives we would leave it what it really is, namely, the consolation of the afflicted, and the most valuable thing that man can enjoy on earth and hereafter. I enter upon the office to which I have been appointed, I believe more by the countenance and partiality of eminent friends than for any merit of my own ; but I enter on 'it with a nervous sense of the responsibility I have undertaken. I shall endeavour as far as in The lies to withdraw from the arena of public discussion questions in which re ligious and political feelingS have been strongly misea. I shall , endeavour by all means in my power to promote peace and goodwill among the people of this country, .and I shall do all in my power to develop the resources of Ireland, and by education and other means to raise the social - condition of her people. (;'dear, hear.) I again return you my best thanks, gentlem'n, and I hope when we meet again that you shall not ha . ,Te had reason to disapprove of my conduct. (Cheers.) The assembly then separated.
