VI AY 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 !aced 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 sell-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their 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 he removed, and how the evil and its consequenc 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 tree. In selecting thin department of practice, he has been amply rca arded 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.

We cannot dismiss this important subject with out some more extended notice of the state and prospects of our fleet compared with that of France, having in mind the general views of the Commis sion, as well as its opinion in regard to the " corn position of the fleet," which are now in the course of being actively carried into effect. Every dispassionate mind must see that we must be always prepared to send forth naval forces supe rior in amount to those of any assailant, and at least as quickly. This truth is nowhere more con clusively shown than in the recommendations of the French Commission, which are, in fact, based upon the assumption that we are overburdened with our vast commerce and colonies, which render us vulnerable in every quarter of the globe. Granting that our forces are superior in amount, members and witnesses with one voice declare that they must be dispersed over every sea, while those of France, free from such demands upon their ser vices, will be more than sufficient to inflict upon us serious and lasting injury. Neither must we conceal the opinion expressed by many of these gentlemen best qualified to form a just estimate of our position, that, from the absence of all organised means of raising men, England could not in the hour of emergency raise a force even equal to that of France. The principle characteristic of our, perhaps, too numerous fleet is the want of all intelligible system eNists ul tome of the most important descrii)tion of slips, and there is no unity of character and qualities in the ships of the same class, while each class in cludes a great many vessels far inferior in force to those which bear the same denominations in fo reign navies—vessels which either ought never to have been built, or long ago sold out of the service. As the list of the French fleet has been omitted from the recent numbers of the Annuaire de la Marine, we are obliged to take its amount in 1851, as given in the reports of the Commission. Ac oording to M. Collas, the number of ships building and aflout in that year was 566, while M. Daru states it to be 392 ; this discrepancy is explained by a note, showing that M. Collas reckoned only those ships building the construction of which was advanced to a certain point. According to our Navy List for July last, the total number of ships on the effective list was 487. This includes not only every ship from the moment the keel is laid, but a considerable number of re ceiving ships, store ships, surveying ships, and iron vessels, wholly incapable of service as vessels of war. The number of ships of the line, building and afloat, was 91; while, according to M. Daru, France had but 50, France has, however, no ships of this class udder , 804i . guns., atid,,,while 65 of our ships are of this or larger classes, we have no less than 26 smalleany of %hem of the old class, several hundred, tons less than Modern frigates. These vessels, having neither the speed of frigates nor the force of ihips of the line of the present day, may be considered as of little service for general purposes. The nation that would maintain a maritime pre ponderance must be always prepared with a power ful fleet of ships of the line, and, though it was at one time supposed that steam would cast aside these " oak leviathans," the wonderful and unex pected results that have attended the application of the screw to great ships have united speed and force, and immensely added to their power and. importance. This discovery, however, has ren dered it necessary to furnish all ships of the line with this invaluable agent, and England has far superior means of fulfilling this object than any other Power. We have 12 ships of the line afloat already furnished with screw propellers, including four of the smallest size, intended for coast defence, and mounting only 60 guns. , Eleven more are building, and will be ready in the course of from one to two years, and there is no reason to doubt that our force in these vessels will be fully equal to any contingency. The proceedings of the Commission, however, show that the idea of contending for the first place, among maritime Powers with ships of the lin; has been abandoned by France in favour of sudden in roads with her armies on an enemy's coasts, and of unexpected onslaughts on commerce and possessions in distant seas. Her reduced force in ships of the line arises, therefore, from the change of tactics, and her position being not one of defence she would be enabled to choose her weapons, as well as the place of attack. Our excess of line -of-battle ships cannot do the work of light flotilla in defence of our coasts, nor are they suitable for the protection of our commerce in distant regions. The history of our past measures with respect to frigates is worthy of a glance. In the American war we pitted our ships of 1,000 tons against the large American frigates of 1,500 tons, the disparity in the number of men and in weight of metal being in similar proportions ; in other words, our oppo nents' ships were just half as large again as our own. They were, moreover, to a large extent manned with British seamen. The result was not surprising, and we owed these reverses not to our officers and men, who did their duty nobly, but to the Admiralty, which, having neglected to provide a proper class of ships, sent out small vessels to contend against overwhelming odds. It would be thought impossible to disregard such a lesson, but, with these painful facts before us, and while all other powers were building 50-gun frigates, similar t t h o e t i h r o s s i e z e o , f w A e m p er i e r s c s , taendd du2oallyyeaersvenininbcureiladsig for building frigates of the same, and even smaller classes than that to which we owed our reverses. Down to a very recent period, while our harbours swarmed with these vessels, we did not possess a dozen 50-gun frigates. Then we built three or four ships of 36 and 40 guns, something larger in tonnage than the old class ; and it is only quite recently that we have begun to provide ourselves with any thing like an adequate number of powerful frigates of a force equal to those of other nations. It also deserves notice that several years have now elapsed since the Prince de Joinville published his pamphlet, showing how England was to be " struck to the heart" by divisions of powerful fri gates, which should sweep away our commerce from every sea. In 1846 a part of the vote of 93 millions was applied to build a number of these first-class frigates, besides the steam-vessels ; the money, in short, was devoted to create the very force proposed in the pamphlet, all the opinions of which we have seen are re-echoed and confirmed by the Commission. Still, in the year 1853, we have only 41 50-gun frigates building and afloat, while in 1851 France had 45, of which those build ing were then nearly completed. On the other hand, we have no less than 70 vessels of various inferior sizes, many of which are scarcely equal to the French corvettes, though we persist in calling them frigates. It may be said, that ships of the line might be employed in the duties of frigates, of which class ' we obviously require a very large superiority o f number over any assailant ; to say nothing of the expense, such a waste of our resources in men, a t the hour of need, would be the strongestpossible con demnation of the obstinacy and want of foresight which could alone have occasioned such a necessity. Still, this would be a better course than to insure defeat and loss of prestige by opposing p ower f ul 50-gun frigates with vessels of half their size, also under the name of frigates. If we have neglected to provide a sufficient num berme a n o sf of p d ng sailingopwreeiviiul aforce of these ships with the screw before our neighbours , and so of ob taining the superiority in number req uired for the s ecurity frigates, we have now the of our commercial and colonial interests. The frigates now building are admirable models, of sufficient force, and will all have screw propellers. The Imperieuse is, perhaps, the most perfect ship we have ever built, and promises well for her sisters on the stocks. It is to be hoped that no time will f fri all sizes be lost in increasing their numb er. A considerable number of highly efficient vessels gates. have also been built with screw s, b ut many are rat T h h e e r s w e o r r e t w hy ve t s o sele be c b a u ll il l ingand corvettes ait than eao amount altogether to 70 in number. We have a i confused mass of some 70 small vessels, sloops-of war, and brigs of all sorts and sizes , many o them beautiful models, but by no means well adapted to war. These vessels will probably soon disappear from the Navy List, and must be replaced by an effective class of corvettes, fitted with screws, and answering in size to the corvettes of France and the sloops-of-war of the United States. At present we have no class of vessels of a similar description. We have 115 paddle-wheel steamers, while France had, in 1851, 107. The French Commission is un doubtedly right in its opinion that the larger classes of those vessels have been superseded as ships-of war by the introduction of the screw. As the re port states, they are only fit for transports, but in I this character they are of great importance to t France, as a means of transporting her armies, and bringing them suddenly to bear on remote a and unprepared quarters. To us they will be a mere dead weight, since we have no ambitious schemes, and maintain a military force barely equal to the defence of the country. The smaller vessels will be useful for the coast defence, but the number is insufficient, and they are by no means particularly well suited to that important service. A certain proportion of the swiftest vessels must be built by the State ; but, as we have before suggested, the great mass of the vessels required for the defence of our coasts may be provided by measures under an act of Parlia ment for ,fitting merchant steamers to receive armaments, and enabling the Admiralty to take them into public service as hired vessels in case of war—an event that would put a considerable check on their ordinary employrnt. If this course were adopted, every vessel, when built, should be accu rately and completely fitted to receive a certain armament, and the armaments of a sufficient num ber, should be at all times kept in perfect readi ness to be shipped at a day's notice. This sug gestion is one of the many hints of which we may avail ourselves, to be found in the proceedings of the French Commission. As France has resolved to apply screw propellers to all her larger vessels, no doubt can exist as to the wisdom and necessity of adopting the same course, and the process seems with us to be in active operation. The best proportion of horse power to the tonnage does not, however, seem to be yet quite satisfactorily ascertained, though it is certain we cannot safely allow ourselves to be sur passed in speed. If France build ships that steam 10 or 12 lalots, we must do the same ; ships withp t .sTRISOIMOMAbta would -ber-u15140,18,-„ J t_ +h em _ Still it may be doubted whether wood and iron can sustain the continuous shock of a force which, acting on the least buoyant extremity of the fabric, is capable of driving a vessel of 3,000 or 4,000 tons' burden at the rate of 14 (land) milesan hour. A sparing exercise of this power will at least be prudent, and it will probably be found necessary to employ it only on important occasions. INSURANCE ASSOCIATIONS. The select committee appointed to take into considera imwdttiioisiotscuntllmeodesthe subject of Insurance . Associations, and who minuteswer e of evidence empowered to rteapkoernt beforethe ir t hem to observations the and H ou t a h e e , have considered the matters to them referred, and have agreed to the following report : "1. Your committee have considered the subject re ferred to them, and have examined the Registrar and Assistant-Registrar of Joint-Stock Companies ; the late actuary to the Commissioners of the National Debt; ia s s t st r i a n r g o o f Friendly Societies ; Mr. Finlaison, the Dr, Farr, at the head of the statistical department of the Registrar-General's office ; and many of the most eminent actuaries connected with insurance offices of every class. "2. So far as regards the Joint-Stock Companies Act of 1844, your committee have confined their inquiry chiefly to that portion of it which affects insurance com panies, and more particularly the business of life insur ances. From the evidence of the Registrar and Assistant Registrar of Joint-Stock Companies, it appears that the law, as it now stands, is extremely defective, and that the provisions of the act of 1844 are very imperfectly carried out; many of which they have no power to en force if not complied with. " 3. With regard to provisional registration, it ap pears that the law, as it now stands, does not afford l the security which was contemplated 13Y , the act of 1844 ; inasmuch as the representations made by the prospec tuses and advertisements issued by new companies often vary very materially from the objects for which they have been provisionally registered ; and there appears to be no means at present to prevent deception and misrepresentation being practised on the public in this way. Nor are the regulations required in order to ob tain complete registration more perfect for that pur pose. It is required by the law that the deed of set tlement should be signed by shareholders equal to one fourth in number and representing one-fourth of the proposed capital of such companies • but it appears, from the evidence of Mr. Whitmarsh, that this provision has been extensively abused by means of false and fraudu lent signatures, and has thus proved to be a very insuf ficient security for the objects contemplated. It appears, also, that it has been frequently evaded by companies commencing business with a very small capital, and, immediately upon obtaining complete registration, greatly increasing its amount, which they are enabled to do without further recourse to the office of the regis trar. These observations, however, apply to joint-stock companies generally. "4. After joint-stock companies are completely regis tered, one of the chief securities contemplated by the act of 1844 for the safety of the public is the duty impoqed upon them to return annual balance-sheets representing the state of their affairs to the registrar's office, where they are open to public inspection. But from the Etct that that act prescribed no form, and furnished the registrar with no power to enforce a compliance with the spirit, or even with the letter, of the law, it appears that this provision has been very imperfectly complied with in many cases, and in others altogether neglected ; it cannot he said that it has afforded, in a majority of cases, either the information or the security which was intended.. Much doubt, indeed, has been expressed by some witnesses whether the publication of accounts in their present form has not rather tended to mislead than to inform the public, in which view your committee are inclined to acquiesce. And if the system of publishing accounts is in future to be persevered in, your committee express a decided opinion that the law must define more clearly what it requires, and that a greater power should be given to enforce whatever provisions are thought ne cessary for the purpose. " 5. There is one subject which has formed so pro minent a feature during your committee's inquiry, and which has partly arisen from the act of 1844, that they cannot pass it over without some remark—viz., the dif ferences of opinions and views entertained by the two great classes of offices, the one including those esta blished since the passing of the act of 1844 and com pletely registered under that act, and the other those established prior to that date, and not so registered. Your committee have arrived at the conclusion that in many ways that distinction has operated prejudicially, and that it would be eminently to the advantage of the offices themselves, as well as to the public at large, if all insurance companies could be brought under one law, . t t nao than hsysa the en es vti hedxee general yanmnhei an c dhe o adbna, been e i b t nbe i u o el condition d ol in laid to gbeenl iexistingbeforeeervael leaving each company to recommend itself to the public upon i n ts re o sibs w ,tayhs n toirts m ehffaage e cra r it . d i wao ts sryi duty to report that r e consisted theyceedeninf difficult lu r oe e l dft d to upon afoor spoa penaeykn their ii : in Legislaturet inqui ry. violationhethese e o f satisfactory t N oa l o 1 lraew vdoubt,etoit:rterms rsin stanceseos o o ear ra bder mitteep they feel it their gt flagrant lla ro little trade,f r a h u aa s d pn e rdeg h e aos a un v uce e th: b ota e ei n iintr your committee, s n akinto of a gr iod ea li t ng ab th u a s n es to an r d e private ffi e e e p , persons o f n a s r aa exercisethe evidence s before theseoteflongfeeogx i h ct ae of be t e h o eir oal o l w ea n taoffathires. great t t fwaehiillietiteheewchoimat tahtteecnotinodou. with n o exist under th e present state of the law, for insurance existence companies, ;i in commonreasonable with into guarantee for success, and not fr un equently without any bona fide intention ,of transacting business. It appears by a re turn made to your committee from the office of the re gistrar, that since the passing of the act in 1844, no fewer than 311 insurances companies of various kinds have been provisionally registered, of which only 140 were completely registered, and of which only 96 con tinue to exist at this time. And while your committee have reason to believe that some of the companies which have ceased to exist during that period have been ab sorbed in other companies by whom their business has been taken over, yet at the same time they have no doubt that considerable traffic has been carried on in the mere creation of companies which never had any real prospect of a bona fide existence. "7. So far, then, as regards the present state of the law, as established by the act of 1844, it appears to be a very general, if not a universal opinion, that it requires some amendment, and in which your committee fully concur. They are deeply impressed with the opinion that, as the law now stands, it does either too much or too little ; too much, inasmuch as any legisla tive enactments professing to protect the public in such matters have a certain tendency to weaken and impair that individual vigilance which would be mere surely exercised if no such attempt was made ; and too little, inasmuch as the securities with the law provides are ill calculated to effect the object at / which they aim. On the part of all the witnesses exa- • mined, your committee found a laudable desire to im prove the existing state of the law, differing, no doubt widely, in their views as to the best mode of accom plishing that object. On the part of the old offices of extensive business, the witnesses who more particularly represented them, expressed their desire to be placed under one general rule, to make such annual returns, and to afford such other tests as could be given without an undue interference with their business for the purpose of securing one safe and uniform system, by which a rea sonable security may be afforded for the respectability and solvency of insurance companies. "8. In approaching the question of what alterations in the present state of the law your committee are pre pared to recommend, they feel that it is one which is surrounded by great difficulties. The two distinct prin ciples in respect to subjects of this nature—viz., that of interference by the Government for the protection of the public, and that of no interference whatever, have been very fully and ably discussed by the witnesses examined by your committee. On the one hand, even admitting the general wisdom of the principle of non-interference on ih3 part of the Government in matters of trade it has been contended that the question of life insurance differs so materially in its general character from ordinary trad ing transactions that it may fairly be considered as an ri , Ric. SD• exception to that rule. This exceptional treatment has been jastified and supported, on the ground that the ob ligation undertaken by such associations have reference to a very remote and uncertain period ; that the object which persons have in view in effecting insur ances upon their lives is generally of an important and solemn character—viz., the provision for widows and orphans after the death of their natural protectors; that, unlike any ordinary transaction of trade, a contract once entered into cannot be discharged or abandoned if doubts of the stability of au office should arise, without a great sacrifice of premiums paid in past years, and the neces sity of effecting new policies in other offices at increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age of the as s ared ; and that in the present state of uncertainty which arises from the imperfect knowledge as to the real con dition of insurance offices, persons are thus placed in the anxious and unhappy dilemma of being compelled to per severe in paying premiums from year to year, with some suspicion and doubt as to the ultimate advantage of doing so, or of incurring the serious loss which, under the most favourable circumstances, must attend the abandonment or sale of a policy. On these considerations, as a special case, it has been contended by different witnesses of great experience, that interference on the part of the Govern oomprdeenrinatatiirsoyonstor of not eonlyin insurancejut hstifiable, but a matter of high duty , for the pr o t ec ti on an d i nformation of the pu bli c. "9. On th e o th er h and, i t has been contended w i t h equa l ability, that i nsurance b us i ness forms no except i on t o es e societiesrespects have ; b that ee thera rather rs hurtful which l have already b een passed with a view of controlling the n than beneficial for the very objects they had in view ; that an apparent compliance with the provisions of an act of Parliament and a certificate of complete registra tion, while they have proved entirely ineffectual for their professed objects, and no real security to the public, have afforded facilities, under the sanction of Parlia mentary authority, embodied in regulations administered by a public department, for the formation of companies . • hrl perpetration of frand4hiela could tiourwise. have been accomplished: ---Atill'in-arbtfte.hgrZOlV tended that it is impossible to make such regulations, consistent with the free development of private enterprise, which, so far as the public is concerned, will prove more prejudicial by lulling private prudence and vigilance than beneficial in respect to any increased security which they can confer. a 10. Much difference of opinion has been expressed by the different witnesses favourable to the former of the two principles alluded to, as to the extent to which Go vernment interference should take place ; some have contended, not only for an enactment which should more strictly regulate the circumstances under which insur ance companies can be formed, but also for the appoint ment of Government actuaries, under a department of the State, who should have a direct supervision of the proceedings of all insurance companies, while the gene rality of witnesses favourable to some regulations have confined themselves to much narrower limits, and have contended only for such precautions as should test the bona fides of new companies, and as should from time to time afford a fair amount of information with respect to the condition of such companies, relying upon the good faith of directors and actuaries for the accuracy of the information furnished. " 11. In venturing to express the views which your committee have been led to entertain as to the course which Parliament should pursue in future in regard to the subject of life assurances, they will divide their re marks into five heads : " 1. As to the mode in which it is desirable to deal with the present Joint-Stock Companies Act, so far as relates to insurance companies. "2. As to the registrar's office, duties, and powers. "3. As to the registration of existing offices. "4. As to precautions which it - seems desirable to take in order to test the bona fides of new associations, and to entitle them to complete registration. "5. As to the securities which can be afforded to the public by the publication of periodical accounts. "12. Your committee will now proceed to remark on each of these points separately. "Ist. Your committee are of opinion that the busi ness of assurance companies differs so much from ordi nary business that it will be advisable to repeal all the provisions of the Joint-Stock Companies Act, so far as they relate to insurance societies, and to deal with them in a separate act. • " 2d. Your committee have already adverted to the in sufficient power which the existing act confers upon the registrar of joint-stock companies to give effect to the provisions of the law. Your committee are of opinion that whatever duties may be intrusted to that officer under any act to be passed, it is essential that adequate powers should be provided to enable him, either by him self or through one of the departßents of the State, to enforce any regulations that Pitiliament may think it wise to enact. Experience has proved that without such powers, regulations become a dead letter, and are only calculated to mislead by iliWtoßpamat sanction which they give to proceedings not in reality:conkf t ledlry them. " 3d. Your committee, in a former part of this report, have alluded to the inconvenience which has arisen, from the fact that a portion of the existing assurance offices tre completely registered under the act of 1844, and a portion not so registered. The effect of this dis tinction has been to lead to controversies between the old offices' (established prior to 1844), and the 'new offices' (established since the passing of the act of that year); which have been prejudicial to the interests of the public. Your committee are therefore of opinion that it would be highly advantageous to all parties if all companies, both those existing and those that may in future be formed, could be placed under one general sys tem of registration. In accomplishing this, your corn mittee would recommend that the requirements for re gistration, as regards existing companies, should be as simple as possible, but that whatever periodical returns may be deemed necessary should be the same as regards all companies whatever. " With regard to mutual insurance companies, where the claims of the insured are confined to the funds of the society and where no personal liability attaches, your committee are of opinion that the requirement of the law, that the members of such societies should be registered, is of no real utility to the public or the as sured, while it is both expensive and troublesome ; and that all the objects of the law would be answered by a registration of the directors and other officers of such societies. regardt importanth e ` r t e h ct . ao u T t tphioaoeurn formation sopsoosr c wreeefnm o efdchlut m cayiubi lemter ! ienttn i rnnyl t ssyi t tthtno ! fqfbuhu ! t Iteoh e iideehuro e enwyi l lnbgpds t ehi cu h s hbveobh a r:ealie t t r ys , rbcpa npe.abala p tanedfo e tceci reeennwohrsdnmtba. comparatively ededn s mdb , deociotplryt t henarha h t ebereet e falhrdcweyt: seh m ia most eansuttl s ephodoye t s.: hand, your committee feel that the ground hitherto occu limited, and. that their application is capable of a great p ex ie t d en b s y ion th , e 7ot u of society, but also among the humbler classes, to plied ; and that it is, t herefore , very important that whomn o needfulc h check ki for t o r:i h m s e the further extension of this enterprise, not absolutely the sommithee are of opinion that, in the interest of the companies themselves, as well as in that of the public, it is desirable to interpose such checks as will give a reasonable guarantee as to the bona fide intentions of the promoters of such companies. To this extent only the committee are of opinion that any interference at this stage is desirable. With this view, in addition to such regulations as may be considered needful for the purposes of registration, the committee are of opinion that no new company should be admitted to complete registration until a capital shall have been subscribed, and actually paid up, of at least 10,0001., and which shall be invested in the public funds, under such regulations as Parliament promoters, rg a ob y deem mt ootfe arstest; fit an d t e o fo e fb n ao a n c t fi; tod securitye i b nf e toer considered ia the tbi ses p t a he of rtth d oe f ou t b h l e e com pany at its early stage of existence.

"Your committee, therefore, would recommend that it shall be imperative upon each company to make a complete investigation into its affairs at least once in five years, as is usually prescribed by their deeds of set tlement, and at such times so prescribed, which shall show a complete valuation of their risks and liabilities and of their assets to meet the same ; and that all such valuation accounts, which may be made for the informa tion and use of their proprietors, shareholders, or mem bers, shall be registered in the office of the reg i s t rar ; and that in each intermediate year, between such peri odical balance sheets or valuations, there shall also be registered a statement containing authenticated infor mation on the following particulars : "The amount of receipts during the year for pre miums on policies. " The amount of expenses during the year. "The number and amount of new policies issued. " The total number and amount of liabilities on all current policies. " The total amount of premiums receivable on the same. " The whole amount of capital, distinguishing the manner in which invested. " How much in cash. "How much in Government securities.

The evidence which yot committee has ob tained leads them to believe that some such general statement would be of much greater utility in enabling the public to come to a correct judgment as to the con dition of an office than any form of account thit could be adopted. In addition to the above, in the case of suit of the advancement or . which; based ; but there is a class of business which some oftides have undertaken—viz., that of receiving deposits of money at interest, which appears to your committee totally inconsistent with the business of life insurance. " 16. Your committee will conclude their report by calling attention to a part of the evidence which advo cates the formation of an incorporated society of actua ries, with a view to the advancement of that important science, and also with a view to issue diplomas or certi ficates to persons qualified to practise as actuaries. If any effort should be made to induce Parliament to grant such an incorporation, the committee are of opinion that it will be worthy of consideration, but that further in vestigation would be needful before such measures should be adopted, as considerable difference of opinion prevails on the subject among actuaries themselves. "August IG." FIRE AT THE ORATORY IN KING WILLIAM-STREET. - At an adjourned petty sessions held yesterday at the vestry-house of the parish of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, an investigation took place in reference to a , fire that occurred on Friday, the 19th inst., at No. 27, King William-street, Strand, better known as St. Phillip's Oratory. The inquiry arose out of the dOrnand made) by the firemen for the usual rewards under the Metro politan Act ; but the ultimate object, as it appeared from a circular addressed to the parishioners generally, by Mr. Bowes, one of the overseers, and who lives next door to the Oratory, was to ascertain whether there was any foundation for a rumour prevailing in the neigh bourhood that the fire had been wilfully occasioned, and to petition Parliament for an act making it imperative on the coroner to hold inquests in all cases of fire. From the testimony of the enginemen and turncock who were called to extinguish the fire, it appeared that it broke out at half-past eleven at night, and that it was confined to a narrow space about one inch and a half wide, between an unused front door and the wains coating nailed behind to conceal the doorway on th inside. The fire was extinguished in less than half an hour and beyond charring the wood work did little or no damage. A small quantity of paper, partly burnt, , 4 ‘l6 zu dAsAti v .... 4 . ,th.a. door and the partition, and fl i rrebeing a :I.ole - ctifin the door fora letter-40x, which had formerly been fixed to it, it was suggested by one of the firemen, and the opinion seemed to be shared in by the priests who reside in the house (one of whom was present at the inquiry),,that the fire was caused by some person outside dropping the lighted paper into the • hollow space by means of this hole ; while Mr. Bowes thought the paper, or the fire that ignited it, must have been placed there from the inside, which, as the space was open at the top under the fan-light, it was possible to do. A great deal of evidence was gone into, with the view to establish one or other of these hypotheses, the yfi!l ii i i .0 el e ne dhd c a aat s dh e at weight of it being decidedly in favour of the first ; but doubt, k a te s h IL iprtstoppedlhoaencelfiyor or not firemen they toeytn was ;w the were se t to entitledaatn ascertain t a b i e n t oe nw.tpiihreeoch rewardee proved tao. claimed. • In reply to a question from Mr. Bowes, The Vestry Clerk said it was the duty of the;cOroner on being called upon to do so to hold an inquest in any case of fire. Mr. Bowes had been informed that if he called upon the coroner to hold the inquest he would have to beai the expense. The Priest, who was in attendance, was anxious as one of the residents of the Oratory, against whom an imputation had been indirectly thrown ' to give hi s ex planation of the circumstanc es so f ar as he knew them, and by permission of the magistrate did so, but his ac count in no respect differed from that of the firemen ; and The Chairman said that as far as the investigation had gone no imputation rested upon any one, nor had that court power to pursue an inquiry for the purpose of attaching guilt in any quarter. The parties then retired.

Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its application and innosious in itself. The high price at which it has hitherto been sold has prevented its general use; to obviate this obstacle to its universal application as a disinfecting and purifying agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W. Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price. It is sold by all Che.nists and Shipping Agents in the United King dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each, and in larger vessels at 6s. per Gallon. Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution and use. Conce❑trated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diluted with 200 times its quantity of water.

SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Shrewsbury—Mr. Ormsby Gore, M.P., in the chair. The report was agreed to. A dividend of 31 per cent. was declared ; the retiring directors and auditors were re-elected ; 1898 shares were forfeited, and the secretary's salary was augmented from 3001. to 400/. a-year. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK. The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this undertaking was held yesterday, in the De Grey Rooms, York, Mr. J. Pulleine, the chairman of the company, presiding. The report, which has already been published, was unanimously carried, as was also a resolution for a divided of 3 per cent., payable on the 7th of September next. _ --. The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution, empowering the directors to apply to Parliament in the next session for leave for the amalgamation of this' company with the York and North Midland and Leeds Northern. This resolution was also carried nem. con., and also a further one, authorising the directors to raise the sum undertaken to be subscribed by this company towards the construction of the Thirsk and Malton Railway. In the next place, the CHAIRMAN proposed a motion, sanctioning the construction of the Jarrow Docks, as recommended in the directors' report. A. long discussion ensued upon this subject, in the course of which Mr. JOHNSON (a shareholder) moved an amendment— " That it was expedient to delay the construction of these docks for one year, in order to see what would be the effect of the extension about to be made in the Sun derland Docks." On the question being put, the amendment was nega. ,ved and the original motion carried. NEWRY, WARRENPORT, AND ROSTREVOR. The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held here yesterday, at the Clarendon-rooms, South John-street, Liverpool ; Francis Shand, Esq., chairman of the directors, presiding. The attendance was small, the chief business being the reading of the report, which after a few observations from some of the shareholders was agreed to. It stated that, " The whole of the for feited shares having been sold, the debt of the company has been reduced from that source by the sum of 7,7001.; but, much to the surprise of the directors, Sir William Cubitt, the arbitrator between the company and the Newry Navigation, had, by his award of 1,8501. against this company, added so much to the outstanding obli gations. The terms proposed by the Newry and En niskillen Company'for effecting a junction were such that the directors could not comply with them. The directors had not yet succeeded in procuring the whole of the money necessary to renew the debentures at 4i per cent., at which they are willing to borrow. The traffic on the line continued to increase, confirming the confident expectation of the directors that when, at the expiration of Mr. Dargan's lease, the line again comes into the possession of the company, a much larger re turn might be anticipated."

LORD CHIEF JUSTICE CAMPBELL AND A WELSH JURY.—In a case tried the other day, at the Denbigh assizes, the jury having been some time in considering their verdict, when the case was really a very clear one, the judge told them that once when a jury had refused to convict a prisoner who had made a plain confession, a learned judge whom he just remembered—Chief Baron Macdonald—thus addressed the prisoner :—" Prisoner, go and be honest, for your character is now so bad that the jury won't convict you because they can't believe your confession." [His lordship struck his hand on the bench with some violence while repeating Judge Mac donald's words, which were evidently intended as a reproof to the jury.] PROFANE SWEARING.—At the New Bailey Court house, Salford, a case of this kind was brought before Mr. Trafford, magistrate, upon a summons, rather reluctantly granted, at the application of a master silk manufacturer, against his servant. Mr. Smith, the applicant, said the offender's name was John Buckley, a labourer in his employ, and he was in the habit of using oaths which were most shocking to hear. On the defendant coming into court the magistrate said, et Buckley, do you plead guilty of swearing profane oaths ?" Buckley—" Yes, when I'm out of temper." a shilling." The court fees m a d e th e fi ne i n t o m a gistrate—" Then the act of Parli ament says you g u r shillings, which was paid. M r . S m ith was In b on e u g es i t n of beginning to lecture the man in court, when Mr. Trafford said, "I suppose you take the man into your employ again?" " Mr. Smith—" I don't kn ow th a t." Mr. Trafford — Because you cen then finish your lec ' ture at hole instead of here." LONDON TO DUBLIN.. ~ . The class of steamers recommended by Mr. Lang ate to be 400 feet long, with 4800 nominal horse power, working up to 8;000 horse power by th e i n di cator, and drawing 13 feet o f water. Mr. Penn, Mr. Scott Rus sell, and' other eminent enffineers and ship-builders, attest the perfect practicability of constructing such vessels with complete, security and efficiency, and the many naval , gentlemen examined acknowledge the adequacy - of the corresponding harbours of Holyhead and Kingstovin '(Dublin) to accommodate them. The only difficulty that has been suggested is that vessel moving at such rapid 'speed as 25 miles an hour might be dangerous to the traffic Of St. George's Channel. It seems to have been forgotten, howe'ia, that a vessel running twelve miles an hour, the present rate, would be as fatal running in upon another as if she ran 25 miles an hour, and that the larger and swifter vessels provided would be but half as long upon the water as the vessels now in use, and would wessarily greatly reduce the number of•vessels in theAradel the effect of the adoption of the larger class of vessels being, thus, much to diminish the chances of danger from collision that now exists. On the whole, the single tenable ob jection to the plan proposed by the committee is the question of expense, for steam-ships, like diamonds and looking-glasses, are costly according to their size, far beyond the direct ratio. This question of expense is, however, we hold, quite unworthy of consideration when we take into account the incalculable benefits that must attend every improvement in the communication between the two islands. The great—the immeasurable—benefits to be expected from the improved communication, are two-fold—mili-. tary and social. First, of the military, not as the most important, but as that to which the report of the com mittee more directly refers. It was stated, by all the witnesses to whom the question was put, that one of the vessels proposed by Mr. Lang would with ease carry 2,000 men, that is more than two regiments, across the Channel in two hours and twenty minutes ; and thus the Guards might, in case of emergency, be transferred by steam vessel and railway from London to Dublin in about eleven hours, and vice versa, the Dublin garrison might with equal rapidity be brought to London ; nay, long within the compass of a single day might the gar risons of Galway, Cork, and Belfast be conveyed to the metropolis of the empire. About seven or eight years ago, when the Times was usino• all its exertion to dis courage railway enterprise, we (and we were the first to do so) directed the public attention to the immense im. portance of railways, as multiplying ten or twentyfold the defensive military power of any country intersected by them, enabling a Government to act almost cum Coto corpore regni at any point at which danger threatened, and to act immediately. We have a proud recollection of our efforts upon the occasion, because we know that they were honoured by the high approbation of the Duke of Wellington. It is unpleasant to refer to such subjects as the Irish rebellion of 1798 ; but it were un just to the subject before us to withhold the fact, that n love ftf advantagehL Lucas—who was not ani ma t e d w ith a sin in that crisis of the f a t e o f th e B r i t i s h empire the trans mission of troops from Liverpool and B r i s t o l t o Dublin occupied no less than th ree wee k s ' sea passage !

Th e commercial and industrial prosperity identification with Great Britain as part of the United Kingdom. Were the countries politically separated to morrow universal bankruptcy must overwhelm the western Wand. A common paralysis must starve and deaden al its industry. This is well known to the com mercial classes of Ireland through all their ramifications, and it is no secret to the humbler classes, who ever look to England as a bank at which they can receive remune ration for their labour, their only possession. The bene fits that Ireland enjoys, the benefits that she expects, from the British connection are the hostage for the in violable fidelity of the commercial classes, and of the humbler classes for the inviolable preservation of the national union ; as to the higher classes of Irishmen they are in fact Englishmen in spirit, as they are Eng lish by race and religious faith. In conferring benefits upon Ireland, therefore, we are securing benefits to our selves—wealth in peace and strength in war • but it need not be said how much Ireland mus t b e benefited by an improved communication between the islands ; the 400 feet steamers at Holyhead will of course be emu - ` lated by vessels of equal or even greater capacity and speed from Liverpool, Fleetwood, Bristol, &c. &c.
