SOLICITORS and the LEGAL PROFESSION-51, 52, 1,2, 8, 9, &c. - - THIS Company was Established in 1841, for the purpose of opening to the public an easy and unquestion ably safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Inte rest. The plan of the Bank of Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi nary Banks in the mode of employing capital—money deposited with this Company being principally lent upon well secured Life Interests, Reversions in the Government Funds, or other property of ample value. This class of securities, although not Immediately convertible. it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit, combined with perfect safety. Further, Loans made by the Company are collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of pre mium which secures the validity of the Policy against every pos sible contingency. Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of loss, whilst the large and constantly Increaaing revenue arising from the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management.

BY SAMUEL LA23fERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary' 1 Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Sec., Sec. he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, 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. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is ntitlett. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are rrinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with ut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of incoasiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or function:li derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a eras.

" Several days more were required at Cagliari for pre. paration previous to starting on the hazardous operation of paying out the ca,lale. All hands were busily occupied till Saturday the 14th, in this duty; in which valuable assistance was rendere,l by the active and intelligent officers of the Desperate and their men. Every facility for getting through the work, in arranging the offices and in completing the land line, was afforded by the authorities of Sardinia and Mr. Consul Craig, all of whom evinced a deep interest in the undertaking. " The Liverpool Steam-Tug Company's steamer Blazer sent out 11 us for the purpose of towing, du:, brought Newell and Webb from Marseilles. gee theet'eat appearancesgeeade e an n b l y l e much i w l e m re e "On the afternoon-of the 13th, in a perfect calm, the k E ve li sß as e , l a s b o o f u t t h a e t q x tr d arte i r tifl o ' f t a- wine riel eaflrloam :t cth n bo e er x se t dhooreff morning. tChaepEe rather closer in, and the end of the cable was safely thundersl a q n u "d a e l Duringldy rawetaidtdhty the lightningli frequent q nightstartingue n t ; t h shower s, o a d w t i weat he r n d er d a s, e l a d ; so unfavourable that it was decided to defer the starting: " By evening of the 14th November the weather again calmed, the barometer was high and steady, and at nine p.m. the expedition got under weigh, the Desperate leading and the Blazer having the Elba in tow.. During the night the weather was very calm, but a heavy swell from the eastward was soon felt, and in passing Cape Carbonara (the S.E. point of Sardinia) this increased so much as to show that there had been strong winds blow. ing outside which had not been felt in the well-sheltered bay of Cagliari. The swell, being right abeam, caused the vessel to roll heavily, but the line was payed oat without difficulty. On the morning of the 15th the clouds began to appear on the east horizon, and the wind to blow heavily from the south. By 11 o'clock this had increased almost to a gale, and the vessel rolled still more heavily, each sea washing right across the decks, and it was found necessary, in order to steady her, to hoist fore-and-aft sails. Add to this violent squall=, with thunder and lightning close over our heads, and you may conceive the anxiety of our situation. Under these circumstances the operation of paying out the cable became extremely hazardous on account of the difficulty of standing to the break, and passing freely from place to place. By the arrangement of the cone and rings the cable wound steadily off the coil on to the break wheel, and the speed of the vessels being maintained at About C• knots an hour, the operation of the break in re. gulating the speed of paying out was very satisfactory. At ,he height o' the gale the wind veered round to the S.E., and the vessel being now much lightened, rolled less, ►nd rose well to the waves, During the gale we were passing over the deepest water, extending a distance of 45 miles. The whole of this time cabins and berths (deck) were washed through, and cooking was out of the question. However, all were too anxious about the cable to think of such small inconveniences. About the very height of the gale the Desperate hoisted the signal, "The barometer indicates fine weather," and shortly after, in truth, the wind began to abate, and by evening had quite fallen, and though for some time the sea ran very high, we were entirely relieved from our anxieties. "From this time all went smoothly, the weather con tinuing fine up to the last. "On Monday, the 16th, it da3 light, we sighted Mari timo far to the northward, and soon after the coast of Sicily ;at sunset we were (ff Pantellaria. On Tuesday morning Gezo was in sight, and in the afternoon the Admiralty tug Hearty came out to welcome us, with Andrews, superintendent of the Mediterranean. Extension Telegraph Company, on board, to suggest an alteration in the landing-place. For the purpose of de. tiding this, Newall went on board the Desperate to reconnoitre, having previously arranged signals for the Elba to steer by, and her speed was reduced as much as possible. I❑ consequence of the change we did not come to an anchorage till about 9 o'clock, instead of before dark, as we had calculated on. The distance from shore was about three-quarters of a mile, and the operation of landing the end in the dark was somewhat tedious, it being necessary to examine and mark out the course carefully. About 4 o'clock the end of the cable was landed amidst the cheers of our men and the sailors, who appeared as well pleased as ourselves with the sue. easeful termination of our labours. "During the voyage a constant communication was kept up with Cagliari, and the cable was tested every quarter hour. It was also immediately on landing tested, and the insulation ascertained to be very good. " Messrs. L• flier and Vieohelmann, in the employ. ment of Messrs. Siemens and Halske, of Berlin, by whom the beautiful instruments supplied to us were con structed, have made a series of eelctrical experiments which we believe w;11 be extremely valuable for future operations. These gentlemen also instructed the work. ing of the instruments during the whole voyage, and go on with us to Curfu. "Since our arrival we have been engaged in eomplet. ing the land line, for which the assistance of a party of sappers and miners has been kindly granted to Colonel Crawley, RE. In the meantime a temporary office is established in one of the military huts at St. George's Bay where the cable is landed. " We can scarcely express the lively sense of gratitude we entertain towards the Governor, Sir W. Reid, Admiral Lord Lyons, and General Sir John Pennefather, for tke kind manner in which they have aided us by their autho rity in all we have had to do to get through our work. " The gregale has been blowing with great violence since Friday morning, 21st inst., but has now abated, and we leave this for Corfu to.morrow morning." The public must have experienced, at one time or another, the great difficulty and loss of time in selecting a really useful article, at a moderate price, for presenta tion. Parkins and Gotto, of Oxford-street, have set an, example which it would be well for others to follow. They have four large showrooms, open to the public, for the display of articles whisk are admirably adapted for presents upon any occasion. No effort is made to attract admiration by superb looking-glasses and costly gilding. On the contrary, this needless outlay has been studiously avoided ; but the visitor is at once struck with the immense stock (of the value of many thousands of pounds), selected with excellent taste. Here are con venient travelling-bags and dresQing-cases, fitted in the most complete manner ; beautiful specimens of Morocco and Russian cases ; splendid buhl, papier mad* and elegantly-mounted inkstands ; bibles, prayer-booke, church services, b:Aind in pearl, tor oise-shell, oak, &c. —in fact, an endless variety of artistic treasures, on terms surprisingly moderate.
