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., let. For ale's sum, paid annually, he can assure :larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. 2ndly. In the event of a desire tosurrender his Policy he can receive in this Company, by fie above example, which applies to all ago, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. ardly.

After he has withdrawn part one year he can.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 its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the argain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as loft hank, with this palpahle advantage, however, that he gets Inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savinge.

Such a system is too equitable ard too striking to be overlooked and Azrosir s,,•_arance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognized and doted when the principles are impar tiany ca nvassed, and its palpab'e benefits become 'widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a honk because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case:of death, thus combining the AD'V'ANTAGES, OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University o 7 Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. 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 duced 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 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 be removed, and how the evil and its consequences 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 hypoctitical 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 this department of practice, he has been amply ree 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, end pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

COMFORT in SHAVING depends on the proper use of a good Razor, an efficient Strop, and a Paste to renovate the surface of the Strop when it becomes black and choked with the steel from the Razor ; to these must be added a Soap that will not dry - suddenly on the face, and a smooth taper-pointed elastic Shaving brush. Unless all these points are attended to. and the Razor wiped and stropped after shaving, that operation must always be a troublesome, even if not a painful one. Those gentlemen whose shaving apparatus is defective are invited to I. J. MECIIP3 Esta blishment, No. 4, Leadenhall-street, London, where they will not only obtain all they require for the toilet reasonable and efficient, but array also procure gratis, his instructions for easy shaving, stropping, &c.—A large assortment of Papier-mache manufactures, dressing cases, work-boxes, and writing-desks, bagatelle-tables, &c. QIGNS of the TIMES—not the "Daily Times" or the " Sunday Times," but the black and white rain and snow tort of" times," provoking the skater's wrath by broken sheets of ice, freezing for every one to contemplate, unless they are habited in warm, firm, and comfortable attire, which, for these " times," should also bo waterproof. Their being at this season many counterfeits, it is no way improper to describe the features of the genuine article. It should be made of first-rate materials, combining firmness, strength, and superior finish—it should be cut on principles which secure a correct fit, which cause the garments to fall ii a graceful manner from the person of the wearer—it should display workmanship which cannot fail, and such as only a thoroughly artistic establishment can exhibit. The Dress to measure or ready made, presented by E. MOSES and SON, possesses all these qualities on the most command ing aspects, and is charged considerably lower prices than at any other house. Its variety affords the amplest choice for Gentlemen or Mechanics, for Sportsmen or Juveniles, on the same terms. Hats and Caps, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c., of the best, most fashion able, and serviceable character, may be had at E. MOSES and SON'S Establishnaent or its Brauches, for very small outlays. EMIGRATION. Many impositions being practised by persons professing to befriend Emigrants, it becomes imperative that all parties intending to emi grate should pnrcbase all goods required at the well-known and long tried Establishment of E. MOSES and EON. Every article required may be inspected previous to being bought, and being marked in plain figures, at a very low price, affords every opportunity of making a suitable and economical selection. 1 distinct department is kept for Outfitting and Ship sailing information, with full lists of Outfits for ladies and gentlemen, may be had on application, or post free, to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the unl.radesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LIIINDON, except their own Establishments, as fellows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

WOOLWICH, MARen 3. Lieutenant Hon. Oliver W. M. Lambart (1844), hav ing completed a course of study of steam and the work ing of marine steam-engines at the factory at Woolwich dockyard, was examined by Mr. Atherton, chief engineer, and having passed satisfactorily, received his certificate. Lieutenant Byrom George Bowles (1843), has been appointed to study steam at the factouat Woolwich dockyard, in the room of Lieutenant Hon. 0. W. M. Lambart, passed out. Nine joiners have given notice this week of their in tention to cease working in the dockyard, as they expect to receive higher wages in private shipbuilding establish ments. The Sinbad and Manceuvrer, dockyard lighters, were both under the necessity of putting into Dover harbour during the recent gales. The Sinbad had sustained some injury, but we have not heard the details. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 3. The Megwra, 6, iron screw steam troop-ship, Com mander John 0.

Paul, and paid wages to the crew of the aboVe ship. The Rolla, 6, exercising -brig for the naval apprentices, Lieut.-Commander Fenwick, having undergone her re pairs below the water-line, hauled out of dock this after noon. The Lively, lighter, came into harbour to-day from the eastward, with stores for the dockyard. The Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, Master Commander John R Petley, having taken in coals from the Malabar coal depot, went out of harbour at 4.30, taking supernumeraries, on her way to Woolwich. The London, 90, Captain George R. Mundy, crossed topgallant and royal, yards to-day. We hope we shall not lose sight of this beautiful ship, at any rate until the arrival of the Hastings, 72, which is daily, expected, and from which the London might make up her complement, being still short-banded. The Agamemnon, 91, screw line-of-battle ship, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland.—The gallant captain, officers, and men are still prisoners on board the Camperdown re ceiving-hulk. The Agamemnon is undergoing fumiga tion at the hands of Mr. Hay, of the chemical department of her Majesty's dockyard. The Northumberland, American liner, arrived at Spit head this morning, from the eastward. MALTA, FEB. • 18. The Niger, steamer, has gone to Corfu, to relieve the Wasp.

Mr. Broadhead, on whom a court of inquiry has sat, has been sent on board the Ceylon, receiving-ship, to await the decision of the Lords of the Admiralty on the report of the court. The court assembled on board the Albion, not the Niger, as erroneously stated. THE DUKE AND THE PENINSULAR WAR.—An unex pected, and perfectly unintentional Boswell has posthu mously turned up to do justice to the Duke's every-day life, and the minutest details of campaigning career, from 1812 to the close of the war in Spain ; and when we state that these volumes (" The Private Journal of F. S. Larpent," just published) comprise several hun dred circumstantial and confidential letters, addressed day by day to an intelligent lady in England, report i ng progress in every point that could interest her, the reader will understand how far such a correspondence must surpass in attraction any mere professional narra tive of military movements in their dry technicality. We are admitted behind the scenes. We hear the daily gossip of the staff and the mess-table—individual adven tures—accidents in flood and field, in march and bivouac —sketches of Spanish domestic economy—local land scape' and architectural monuments — the whole couched in that free and unaffected phraseology which no prospect of publication interfered to mar. But it is to the fact of the writer's perpetual companionship with the Duke we owe the fortunate jottings of epistolary communica tion, through which we are familiarised with his habits, bearing, and deportment, in command as well en desha bille. An endless succession of anecdotes could be culled out of this diary, the range of which includes every cele brity—British, French, or Spanish—engaged in the operations of war ; personal peculiarities and anecdotes of Picton, Beresford, Soult, Castanos, Graham, Suchet, the Duke d'Angouleme, and King Joseph being plenti fully interspersed through the leaves of the journal.

A letter from Vienna announces, that on the night of the 28th ult.' the Archduchess Sophia slept in her own apartment, for the first time since the attempted assassination of the young Emperor. In the morning, however, as early as five o'clock, the Archduchess returned to the bedside of her son, which she had not previously quitted for ten days. The Emperor's convalescence proceeds rapidly. The Archduke William is nominated Alter Ego, in order that public business may not get into arrear. Baron de Bruck is to leave Berlin in a few days for Vienna, to preside over the commercial admi nistration. The treaty which the Baron has con cluded with Prussia is the occasion [of. many con flicting comments in the German papers. Austria has secured the veto in favour of protection. Negotiations between Prussia and Hanover are now going forward, to secure a reduction of cus toms duties on goods imported from Hanover into the Prussian Zollverein. By this arrangement, French brandy will pay Bm., instead of 16 ; coffee 1, instead of 6- ; tea 3, instead of 11 ; and tobacco in leaves Ij, instead of sm. The demand of Hanover, however, meets with a strong opposition. SPAIN. The cholera is making some progress at Breslau. A despatch from Madrid announces the publica tion of a decree, forbidding all newspapers to pub lish reports of the debates in the Cortes, unless copied from the official Gazette of the sittings. The publication of extracts or isolated speeches, without previous permission, is equally prohibited. ITALY. The Federal Council of Switzerland asserts, in a report which will be sent to the representatives of foreign powers, that the reproaches of Austria in reference to the Milan affair, are without founda tion.

Thomas Golden Vaile, a young man of gentlemanly appearance, surrendered to take his trial on an indict ment charging him with having, on the high seas, and within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty, caused the death of a seaman, who was a native of the Sandwich Islands. Mr. Ballantine conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the defence. - It appeared, from the opening address of Mr. Ballan tine, that the defendant was a gentleman of respectability and fortune, and had up to the time of the occurrence in question borne a perfectly good character. In the year. 1850 a vessel, called the Peking, was engaged to pro ceed to the Columbia River, by the Hudson's Bay Com pany ;' on arriving there it ceased to be under the management of the company, and the captain then acted entirely under the control of the owners, Messrs. Smith. The vessel reached the river some time in 1851, and dis charged her cargo, and shortly afterwards, either in con sequence of the bad navigation, or the state of the river, she unfortunately grounded, and could not be wit off until July, 1852. The captain of the Peking was a Mr. Rigby,' and the defendant acted in the capacity of chief mate. While the vessel was lying aground the whole crew de serted, and consequently placed the two superior officers in great difficulty, but being good seamen they deter mined to navigate her themselves to the Sandwich Islands, and on arriving there they succeeded, with the assistance of the agent of the Hudson's Bay Company, in getting 15 natives to join the vessel and to aid in bringing her to England. Among these men there was one who was known by the English cognomen of Doyle, or Karlar. On the 2d of September, 1852, the Peking left the islands, the English portion of the crew consist ing only of the captain, mate, and one or two apprentices. Nothing particular occurred until the . end of the month, by which time they neared the Western Islands, but then the weather became very tempestuous, and it was of course necessary for the captain and mate to keep the natives at work and to see that they did not neglect their duty, but as they were very harmless and in offensive there could be no apology for. using vio lence such as seemed had been employed" in the pre sent case. During the continuance of the storm the occurrence which was now complained of took place. It appeared that' Doyle was ordered by the mate to go aloft to reef the sails, but he was scarcely suited for the work, as he had a club foot, the incon venience attending which iwas aggravated by festering sores When he had ascended about 24 feet, - the mate seemed to think that he had not show, a sufficient acti vity, and he followed him up, and when at this height struck him one or two blows with a stick or rope, the result of which was, that he fell on the deck. He scarcely appeared to move afterwards, and was allowed to remain where he fell a considerable time, no attention being paid to him by the English crew. He was even tually removed below by some of his companions, and in the course of the night he breathed his last. As the captain treated •it as a natural death, no investigation was instituted, and the body was therefore sewn up in a blanket, and thrown into the sea. The Peking pro ceeded on her voyage home, and on arriving at New castle, the natives were placed in the Sailors' Home in that town. The secretary of the Hudson's Bay Com pany, hearing of their being there, went and visited them, not with any suspicion, that anything improper had occurred on the voyage, 'but because he took a natural interest in the people. They happened how ever to tell him a simple story about the death of Doyle, and he felt it his duty to communicate with the solicitors of the company on the subject, and they thought it ne cessary to institute an inquiry. Messrs. Smith, the owners, it was but justice to say, threw no impediment in the way, and the defendant now surrendered to take his trial for the murder of the man. Though the facts against him appeared somewhat strong, he (the learned counsel) sincerely trusted the result would be to show that an English gentleman was incapable of such an act as was here imputed. One of the natives was then examined through an in terpreter, who had been some years a missionary at the Sandwich Islands, and he deposed to the main facts contained in the above statement. Though the witness was ignorant of the English language, he was acquainted with the Scriptures, and took the oaths in the usual way. The case was not concluded when our report left. RECIPROCAL TRADE BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND NORTH AMERICA. in s thatetdhieni tC:d The question of establishing a reciprocal trade between the United States and the provinces of North America has just been discussed in a report presented to the House of Representatives at Washington by Mr. Sey mour, the chairman of the Committee on Commerce. It commences by tracing the growth of the traffic between these possessions and the American Republic down to 1843, when all discriminating duties were removed, and American and other foreign manufactures and produce of every description were admitted into the colonies on the same, terms as British goods. This measure, it is pointed out, was followed by free dom of navigation, except as regards coasting from port to port, the Legislature of Canada also finally adopting a law providing for a perfectly reciprocal trade in natural products whenever the United States Govern ated, and for Govern ment should adopt a similar arrangement. The objects United n ea:ii desired e S oeoan t t ~ ley,e American e es tp hrcii averaging ev cohoaelsogt fisheries.i. . n 23 A t mutually to be gained are then descr::)ed as follows : At present Canadian products, as well : - .s all other foreign per cent. on the principal articles.

The case we are about to submit to the public is one not new to those whom it ought chiefly to concern, ,for the aggrieved parties have for some years been vainly soliciting protection in India and redress at home. But the time is come when the neglect of the supreme duties of a Government to its own subjects will bring with it severer penalties ; and we submit this case to public opinion with the more con fidence, inasmuch as the high character of the parties and the accuracy of their statements are uncontested even by those who have neglected er refused to obtain compensation for their wrongs. Nearly twenty years have elapsed since the represen tatives of a wealthy and honourable firm of Parsee bankers at Bomhay, British subjects, trading under the names of Viccajee and Pestonjee, proceeded to Hydera bad, in the Nizam's dominions, to pUrsue their commer cial speculations. They were furnished with express letters of recommendation from the Bombay Govern ment to the British Resident at Hyderabad, who was in structed to give them his protection ; and they proceeded at their own expense to open the cotton trade of Berar. The success of these operations which raised the amount of cotton sent from Berar to Bombay in 1836 to 48,000,000 lbs., induced Chundoo Lall, then Minister of the Nizam, to propose to the firm the chief management of the cotton districts of Berar, stipulating that th e y were, by advances of money as bankers, to supply funds for the monthly payment of the troops known as the Nizam's contingent, and, if required, for other State pUrposes. It will be observed that although these British subjects had thus extended their operations to the territories of one of the native Princes in strict al liance with the East Indian Government, theywere living 'at Hyderabad, as members of a British commercial com munity, under the direct protection of the British flag— they were engaged in the promotion of the cotton'trade, an essentially British interest—and they had undertaken to supply funds for the pay of the contingent—that is, of troops maintained by[the Nizam for the use of the British Government in the event of war. Under these circum stances, they were constantly called upon to stand be tween the — Nizatn'tirxevernment and the unliquidated claims of the forces, and they were induced to make ad vances from the beginning of 1837 to June, 1843, to the amount of 687,0001., exclusive of interest. The British Resident at Hyderabad was privy to all these transactions and advances ; indeed, he was the officer who paid the contingent, and knew the mode in which the money was raised. It was paid in bills drawn on the firm of Pestonjee by the British officers command ing brigades over the country. In 1841, the firm, feel ing uneasy at the extent of their advances, required More tangible security than they had yet obtained, and the Nizam's Minister consented to give them a regular mortgage on certain districts, yielding a revenue of 110, 0001 a-year, being a part of the cotton districts already intrust ed, to their management. This mortgage-deed was exe cuted with the greatest formality. An account was taken of the balance then due to the firm,' which was admitted by the Nizam's Government to amount to 290,0001.; and this transaction was completed with the full knowledge and approval of the British Resident, a record of it being filed in the archives of his office. We now come to the most revolting part of this case. In the summer of 1845 a change of Ministers having taken place at Hyderabad, and the embarrassments of the Government continually increasing, an armed incur sion was made into the mortgaged districts by the Nizam's troops, acting under the orders of that prince. The agents were forcibly expelled. At one of the mort gaged estates, this attack was conducted by 700 soldiers, who fired on the people, killing 16 and wounding 15 ser vants!of the firm ; and the landed security for the loan was thus forcibly wrested by the indebted Government from the hands of the mortgages. The result of this open act of spoliation was, of course, disastrous to the credit of the house, which had hitherto stood as high as any in India. Their banking establishments at Bombay, Poonah, Calcutta, and Hyderabad were unable to avoid failure, and vast losses were sustained by their creditors throughout British India, through no fault of their own, since they had advanced capital on adequate security to a Government virtually dependent on the will of the East India• Company, with the approval of our own Resi dent ;' and all they ask is the restoration of a pledge of which they have been violently dispossessed. They turned for redress to the Supreme Government of India, which replied to their appeal in April, 1848, by a brief minute that "the Governor-General in Council sees no reason for interfering in any way in support of their claims." They then came to England to lay their case before the authorities at the India-house ; but here, too, though they got fair words, and their right was undisputed, nothing more was done. They were referred back to Calcutta for an answer, and when they arrived there they were told that nothing was to be done for them. Undeterred by these subterfuges and obstacles, the native agents of the-,firm have' now a second time reached this country, intending to remain here until justice be afforded them. Although this case is not, we think, devoid of interest as illustrating several peculiar circumstances in the com mercial relations of India, our attention is chiefly drawn to it by considerations of a higher order. We want to know whether the Government of India has done its duty by these merchants, who are its subjects, and who have frequently contributed to important undertakings in' the interest of British connexion. This is not a case of private persons lending money at their own risk to a foreign State. This money was secured on lani revenue, and nothing but the- forcible extrusion of the holders by an armed farce could have taken it from them. They were therefore openly plundered and despoiled of their property. The Government to which these advances were made, chiefly for British purposes, is in reality wholly dependent on the will of the Anglo-Indian rulers. The protection of British traders in the Nizam's dominions is the subject of a formal treaty engagement, and, indeed, tee Nizam is powerless without the support of this country. But notwithstanding all this, the Go vernor-General in Council sees no reason for interfering in any way in support of such claims, and this great wrong has thus far been wrought on some of the most respectable members of the Parsee body, having: all the rights of British subjects, with com plete impunity. What can be inferred from such a- state of facts, but that the Government of India has grossly failed in such an instance as this to exert its power in defence of right and justice ? It is the more culpable, because it has the undoubted ability to exact redress, almost without an effort ' • and it stands con victed in the eyes of th e p eop l e of India of indifference to any interests but its own. Cases of this kind must become the subject of searching investigation before the people of England will consent to restore for a pro tracted period a domini on w hi c h h as pro d uce d resu lt s so far below the elements of greatness which our Indian Empire affords. Public opinion, which the East India Company have never courted, will ere long overtake them, for their responsibility is in proportion to their unlimited power. Had such an occurrence as that we have related taken place in Europe, we should justly have expected thatthe naval forces of the Crown would obtain reparation for an injury directly committed on a British subject by the deliberate authority of a foreign Government. But in India, where even the guards round the Palace of the Nizam are officered by English gentlemen, we are told that the authoritiei cannot interpose, and even the home Government has abetted this indifference. In sup porting the Nizam's Government, which only subsists by extortion and pillage, we are ourselves the supporters of the system of which we complain, and one such case as this,. well established, ought to be a sufficient ground for terminating such abuses. Unhappily, the pressure brought to bear on the Nizam in 1851 by the Indian Government was for payment of its own claims, and not to obtain redress for its subjects ; and as this demand was for a time bought off by an instalment, private claims of equal magnitude and prior importance are left to shift for themselves. In the present state of affairs it depends very much on the people of England and the British Parliament to say that such things shall cease. RAILTVAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN.—The directors of this company have just purchased the whole of the gardens and erections in the Wandsworth-road, near Nine-elms, which were many years ago known as the Cumberland Gardens, Vauxhall (at that time a very fashionable place of resort). They have also bought the adjoining property, known as Brunswick House, formerly the resi dence of the Duke of Brunswick.

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE AND EAST LANCA SHIRE.—We have every reason to believe that the pre sent session of Parliament will not elapse without its be coming known that an agreement involving mutual working at disputed points has been determined on.

The directors and the shareholders' committee have omited in a recommendation to submit the differences between the ordinary and preference shareholders to Mr. Glyn and Mr. Stephenson, and no doubt exists as to the great bulk of both parties concurring in the proposal. As, however, even one preference shareholder may carry the dispute, if he so wills it; into parliame nt, we sincerel y trust iat every attempt may be made at the special meeting on the 11th inst., to secure the largest amount of support from all classes of shareholders, so that the committee of the House of Commons may be made thoroughly acquainted with the means and motives of the obstructioners.
