Thus,depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising from the premiums on Assurances thus effected y ields am p le profit to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management. Daposrr ACCOUNTS may be opened with sums of any amount, and increased from time to time, at the convenience of depositors• A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de- Posited, RATE AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST. The rate of Interest since the establishment of the Company has never been less than five .p.r cent. per aunum ; and it is confidently anticipated that the same careful and judicious selection from secu • cities of the description above mentioned will enable the Board of Management to continue this rate to depositors, ; • The Interest is payable in January and July. on the amount stand g in the name of the depositor hn the 30th of June and 3 st of December, and for the convenience of parties residing at a distance !nay be received at the Brenda Offices, or remitted through Country Bankers.

BY SAMUEL Li'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, Matriculated Member_ of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary • Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of • Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The 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 retitled. It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are I rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with , at incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, bow those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitternessmay 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.

STAMPED 5D •] October the Commander-in-Chief telegraphed to Captain Teel, at. Allahabad, "In the course of about a week there will be a continuous stream of troops, at the rate of about 90 a day, pouring into Allababad, .which I trust will not cease for the next three months." On the 2d of October Sir Jas. Outram had contrived to smuggle a brief message 'out of Lucknow, which was at once transmitted from Cawnpore to Calcutta by telegraph. In it we read :—" The insurgents are too strong to admit of withdrawing from this garrison. . . Two additional brigades, with powerful field artillery, would be required to withdraw the garrison or re duce.the city." On the 2d of October, Sir James Outram was convinced that - nothing could be done at Lucknow to ensure the safety of the garrison (with its " sick, wounded, women, and children, amounting to 1,000"), before the arrival of two additional brigades with a powerful field artillery. On the 4th of October the Commander-in -Chief was of opinion that, "in the course of about a week," troops would begin to arrive at Allahabad at the rate of ninety men a day. At this rate, when would the two brigades, with their powerful field artillery, be assembled at Cawnpore ? The heart sickens when the condition of the garrison at Lucknow is thought of. It is impossible to say when two brigades may-be mustered at Cawnpore to advance upoa Lucknow. And the reason of the delay is the paucity of European troops in India. But that the European soldiers in India are so few that these two brigades could not be assembled at Cawnpore long before the beginning of October, is owing: solely to the callous levity with which Lord Pal merston and his colleagues refused-to lend an ear to the united voices of our countrymen in India, of the East India Directors. and of the people of Eng land speaking' through the press and Parliament, urging them to send reinforcements to India by the Overland route. If the garrison at Lucknow are to share the fate of the garrison at Cawnpore th'eir bbica will rest on the heads of Lord Palmerston and his collea_:ues. For every man, woman, and child that dies in consequence of the unnecessary delay in relieving Lucknow, Lord Palmerston and his colleagues are' responsible. And yet with this awful truth staring them in the face, Lord-Palmerston's subservient Parliament seem well disposed to maintain an unbroken silence on the subject of India till February. Lord Palmerstoir tells them that when they meet again in February he will have measures for the future government of India to lay before thew. That is not the immediate question. How India is to be governed in future may be discussed at leisure ; the present duty of Parliament is to inquire whe ther everything has been done that the existing administrative arrangements of India admit of, to relieve our endangered countrymen there ? and if nct, why not ! With the facts which we have recounted, showing the ease with which reinforcements might have been deqoatched across the Isthmus of Suez, and the indolent apathy with which Ministers failed to avail them selves of that route, it is impossible not to elver tain the conviction that Ministers have not *done for the relief of our countrymen in India what it was their duty, an what they had ample means at their disposal to do. There is not a bereaved family in England that is not filled with rage and grief at this conviction: Thera is not an Englishman at present on the Continent who is not galled and irritated by incessant taunts at the incapacity and apathy of the English Government in regard to the Indian mutiny. A fierce spirit is kindling in the breasts of the English people that may era long prove fatal, not only to Ministers, but to any servil , Parliament that may venture to interpose between them and the nation's wrath. It will be dangerous for Parliament to adjourn before the conduct of our rulers with reference to the Indian mutiny has been fully and feailessly discussed. peered tai extenso : " Lieutenant-Colonel E. Greathed to the . Deputy Assistant t the Ad honour jutant-General, Delhi. " Camp, Agra, Oct. 11. "Si h rfor the information of the Major-General Command ing, that, in consequence of urgent- letters from Agra, I marched from Hattrass at 6 p.m. on the 9th, carrying the European Infantry on elephants and carts, and encamped on the Brigade Parade ground at this place about 8 a.m. Yesterday at half-past ten my camp'was suddenly attacked iu the front and found the artillery getting into action, and H.M.'s 9th Lancers in the saddle. I proceeded myself with H.M.'s Bth Regt., and the 4th Punjab Infantry to the right flank, for the purpose•of dite lodging the enemy and taking their guns, which were raking our camp. On the way I took with me the Ist, 2d, and sth Punjab cavalry, extending the infantry in skirmishing order with their supports. I took the cavalry to the open space near the Euro pean infantry barracks, with directions to move as circumstances would permit. The 9-pounder Agra battery had by this time come up. I advanced them in support of the infantry on the road leading from the Artillery parade-ground to the Dholepore road, and the skirmishers advanced and cleared the com pounds to their front. The Punjab Cavalry, under Lieut. Watson, had then the opportunity of mak ing a most gallant charge, driving off the enemy's Sowers and capturing four guns. After this the rebels made no stand on the right, but the left con tinued to be hotly engaged, and the enemy's Sowara advanced with great determination on the guns, one of which was disabled from its gunners having been cut down, and for the moment in the possession of the enemy. It was, however, instantly recaptdred, and the 9th Lancers charged the Sowars and drove them from the field. I regret to say that two most excellent officers ) Lieuts. French and Jones, were wounded, the former mortally, and I fear that little hose can be entertained of the recovery of Lieut. Jones. I advanced during this time on the Dholepore road, capturing guns as we went on, and the 9th Lancers and Artillery, sup ported by the 75th and 2d Punjab Infantry, ad vanced on the left, taking four guns on their way. The whole line now moved to the front, the Pun jab Cavalry, as usual, performing most excellent service on the flanks till we reached a village three miles hence, where we halted for a short time, the whole of the enemy being then in full flight. We were now joined by the 3d Europeans, and Colonel Dutton, conarnandiug at Agra, came up and took camtnand of the whole of the troops. The enemy's camp was descried about two miles in advance, and we marched upon it, the road strewed in all 'Erec tions with baggage and carts ; the infantry was ordered to halt at the camp, and the cavalry and artillery pursued the enemy to the Kharee Ntuidee, ten and a half miles from Agra. The enemy had crossed the river before we reached it, leaving be hind him all his guns, a return of which is attached. The artillery fired grape and round shot at the re treating enemy across the river, with good effect. The country all round was covered with fugitives, of whom a large number were cut up ; they have all now crossed the Kharee Nuddee. After a short halt we returned to camp, and the captured guns were all brought in during the night. I have not been able to estimate the enemy's number, as, in addi!ion to the Indore force, and the Neemuch and the NusseerabAd brigades, Sepoys were found killed belonging to the 16th Grenadiers, Hut rianab. Light Infantry, .G walier Contingent, and several others. The whole country as far as one could see was covered with fugitives, but of these many Were probably camp followers and rabble. I have never seen such a rout, and had our artillery and cavalry been fresq few would have crossed the Kharee Nud dee, but they had marched 41 miles in loss than 30 hours before arriving at Agra. It is impossible t say too much of the excellent conduct of the Whole of the troops, officers, and men, and I trust it will meet with the approbation of the Meier- General commaudieg the Field Force at Delhi. " It is my intention as soon as I have been joined by the detachment now on its way from Delhi, to proceed towards Futtyghnr, with a view of effecting a junction with Gen. Havelcck's force, subject to the approbation of General Penny. " I have, &c., "E. H. GREATHED, Lieutenant-Colonel, Commanding Moveable Column." BRITISH OFFICIALS IN EGYPT-DErEff TION OF THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Daily .News : Sir,—Of what benefit to the commercial world has been the speedy passage - of the good ship Simla Here still lie her mails, nor can they go forward till the Tamar shall return, whilst a little thought on the part of the . functionaries in this land of the Pharaohs would have placed them, or at least the overland portion of them, near London. The hour the Simla anchored in the Suez roads was 2 a.m. of the 20th instant, and the news of her arrival was current in Alexandria about 11 a.m. A telegram to Suez asking for the immediate de spatch of the important i.ortion of the mail—viz., that going via Marseilles , would have insured its departure by 1100 U. Nine hours are allowed for the journey by camels from Suez to No. 12 station in the Desert, and th's would have left 10 hours for our authorities to have made their arrangement for the placing of a special train there for the conveyance of the mail to Alexandria, fur which four hours would have more than sufficed. Arriving at No. 12 station at 9 p.m., and allow ing one hour for the unloading of tha camels and loading into the railway waggons, .by 10 p.m. of the 20th the train could have been on its way and would have been due at Alexandria at six o'clock on the morning of the 21st ; thus the Simla's mails might have been shipped off from the railway jetty and safely placed in the Vectis by 7 a.m., at which hour (daylight) she was advertised to leave for Marseilles with the Overland portion of the India mails brought to Suez by the'Bentinck and Madras. If, however, more time had be( n necessary to have secured the departura of the Simla's mail in the Vectis , , an .hour or two of further detention could, without difficulty, have been obtained from the Admiralty agent ; but no appeal to him was made, nor does it appear that the forwarding of the mail by this opportunity ever entered the SHORT TIM/ IN NORTH AND Rim' LANCASEII.RE. Since our last not 7 ce of the conditions of manufacturing industry at Preston, Mr. It. Goodair, of the Springfield Mill, has commenced full time, as also have Messrs. Birley Brothers. Messrs. Napier and Goodair have likewise started the Wellington Mill 10 hours per day, and it is expected that the rest of their estab lishments wilt shortly be started on full time. These facts are cheering at the present crisis, and indica tive of brightening prospects for our staple trade. The inhabitants of Preston are generally in good spirits notwithstanding the deprasion.which exists ; and the prevailing opinion is that the crisis has arrived at its culminating point, and that hencefor h improvement must be looked for, and at no remote period great prosperity. It may be interesting to mention the tact that since the opening of the soup kitchens 530 gallons of soup have been distributed daily. The supply is not equal to the demand, and preparations are being made for increasing the quantity. The overlookers of the various factories formed a relief fund about six months ago, and the sum in hand has been very opportune during the present distress. Upwards of BU/. have been ri buted among the needy members of that body. In Blackburn there are numerous si g ns of amendmen'. At the yarn-market held on Wednesday last there was great animation, and a considerable amount of business was done. The yarn-market at Blackburn is attended by the principal spinners and manufaturets in these parts of Lancashire. One report states— , " The tone of feeling is decidedly improved, in cul t sequence of the brightening prospect which is open ing up in the country generally." On Friday three mills started full time—viz., Messrs. Rodgett and. Brierley's Messrs. F( nest Brothers, and Mr. W. Dickinson's. The iron and building t. ades are greatly depressed, and handloom weaving is nearly at a stand still. •In Burnley and a circuit of three miles there are between 70 and 80 factories, of which six are stopped altogether, and 12 are run ning full time, the rest being on short time. Tho ac counts from Accrington, Clayton-le-Moors, Great Harwood, and Darwen are very satisfactory, all things considered. It is perhaps as well briefly to give the facts, so that any misapprehension may be removed with regard to the supposed extent of the distress in the manufacturing districts. There are about 23 mills in and about Accington, and 10 are running full time. Two only are stopped, and the rest areeither short time or part full and part short time. Thera is every probability of several of the latter running full time entirely. There are 16 establishments in Clayton le-Moors and Great Har wood carrying on calico printing and the cotton "'manufacture. Of these 11 ate running full time, a-week respectively. meeting convened. two are idle, and the rest are running six or eight hours a-day.

The amendment was carried. The e m f 'toe im provement, preceding results apply to Colue and other districts, concerning which it is needless to enter into details. Upon the whole, the prospects of the cotton trade are brightening, and the severity of the crisis seems to be past. ,houghts of either Poii - master or Consul-General As it happened, from some delay on the part oi the transit administration, the India mails did not reach the Vectis till 9 a.m., at which hour only the vessel put to sea. The cost of the special train would have been 501., no very great item for the Postmaster- General : there was ne difficulty in the way of its hire ; the line throughout was clear, and the Vice roy would only have been too happy at the oppor tunity of rendering his railway of service to the British public. Unfortunately for those having correspondents in Australia, there are no mutinous Sepoys there, or their mails would have received more attention in Egypt, and the special train would have been specially applied fur ; as it is, the detention must be regarded as the reward of loyalty. Of what im portant° during the existing monetary crisis are the bills of lading for the 300,0001. brought to Suez by the Simla ?—the bills of lading of remittances via the Cape, the advices of future remittances and the commercial prospects in the colonies Of none in the eyes of the English employes in this country ? Such is the apathy and indifference of British officials out of England. Ask who is to blame The postmaster will tell you that the demand for a special train for the conveyance of a mail does not come within his province, but is a matter for tho higher representative ; ask the consul-general, and he will _say the postmaster did not make applica tion ; and by this red-tapeism the unfortunate public is sacrificed. • - Much more use, you may be assured, would have been made of this route for the conveyance of troops to India had its facilities been better known by the authorities at home. Since February last, 1,000 men per day miAbto have been passed through. The troops would have been carried by railway to opposite No. 7 station in the Desert, and the remaining 50 miles to Suez would have been done by daily marches of about 12 miles, tents being pitched and kitchens placed at the end of each march for sleep and food. The entire transit from Alexandria to Suez would have occupied five days. In May the railway was in use toopposite No. 8, and as the line progressed so would the troops have been carried by it the lon g er distance, dimi nishing the marching and time of transit. 21 for the Hedjaz crossed the Desert' on the t s i 1,200 ; on the 22d,.600 ; on the 3d, 636 . ; on 1 8 e 24th, 194.

ARRIVAL OF THE INDIA MAILS AND PASSENGERS. SOUTHAMPTON, Dm 6. The-Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Ripon, Captain H. W. Powell, arrived here to-day, at 1 p.m., with the heavy 'portion of the India and China mails, and also the Southampton portion of ''the Enieu's Australian mails (which, it will be remembered were picked up froth a native boat off Tor), the whole in charge of Lieutenant G. J. Gardner, R.N., Admiralty agent. This steamer left Alexandria on the 21st ult., Malta the 25th, and Gibraltar on the Ist inst. In the Me diterranean she experienced strong westerly breezes, and from Gibraltar variable winds, with very heavy sea. The Ripon brings 73 passengers, including Rear- Admiral the Hon. Henry Keppel, C.B. Imme diately on the vessel's arrival in dock . to-day Mrs. Finnis (the lady of the late Lord Mayor of London), the Mayor of Southampton (Mr. J oho White), and other members of the Relief Committee went on board, but no case came under their notice requiring the administration of relief. We were informed that some clothing had been distributed among a few of the passengers from India during the voyage. The case of a lady named Moir, who with her two children came home in the Ripon is deserving of notice from the terrible inci dents associated with it. This lady was the wife of a doctor who was shot by the mutineers in a bunga low 600 miles up the country, and he died in her arms. After this she escaped, together with her two children, and in passing through the jungle, where she encountered great hardship, lost one of them, but to her inexpressible joy the child was restored to her 01 arriving at Calcutta, having been picked up on the road by a gentleman, and by him taken to that city. Lieutenant Campbell, who escaped from Fyzabad on horseback, is also among the Ripon's passengers. On freight the Ripon brings 26 packages of specie, value 34,5651., and a cargo consisting of 3,274 bales and 40 cases of silk, five cases of indigo, 10 cases of t tortoiseshell, three boxes of China ink, 18 iests of ta, 7 packages of elephant's tee t h, two b d saes of jewelery, and 160 packages of sundries.• Gibraltar adv:ces are to, the Itt inst. A terrific storm of thunder and lightning, with oeclvional heavy showers of rain, burst, over the Rock early on the afternoon of the 29th ult., and lasted until about 1.30 a. m. on the 30th. Exchanges on the 28th were quoted a% follows :—London, 90 days' date, 491 ; Paris, ditto, sf. 32c..; Marseilles, ditto, sf. 33c. ; Genoa, ditto, sf . 35c. ; Madrid, 8 days' sight, 1 die. ; Cad:z, ditto, par ; Malaga, ditto, ; die. ; Seville, ditto, die.

The British steamers James Brown and Progress, from London, arrived at Gibraltar, the former on the 26th for Constantinlple, and the latter on the 30th for Gibraltar and Palermo. The Peninsular and Oriental. Company's steam ship Nemesis, with the mails of the 20th ult. from Southampton, passed Gibraltar on the 26th ; she had experienced heavy weather after leaving South ampton. The Ripon spoke on the 28th of November, in 37.33 N., long. 3.52 W., the screw steamer Arca die, steering to the eastward ; 29th, in lat. 36.56 N., long. 1.15 W., the brig Josephine, steering to the eastward ; and Dec. 5, at 3 p.m., off Ushant, the Peninsular and Oriential steamer Indus, steer ing to the westward. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Candia arrived at Madras on the 31st of October. A gentleman on board the Ripon has handed us the following statement of the arrival out of troop ships :—The Golden Fleece steamer, at Calcutta, out 68 days ; the Thebes steamer, at Calcutta., out about 74 days; the Caledonia steamer, at Cal cutta, out about 8t days; the Nile sailing ship, at Calcutta, not known ; the Sydney steamer, at the River Hooghly, out 72 days ; the Bucephalus sail ing ship, at Sands Heads, out 117 days ; the United Kingdom steamer, at Madras, out 85 days ; the Carthage steamer, at Madras, out 79 days ; the Aln wick Castle sailirig ship, at Madras, out 98 day:; the Barham sailing ship, at Madras, out of 105 days ; the John Bull steamer, at Point de Galle. out 85 days ; the Sussex sailing ship, at Point de Gallo, out about 80 days ; the Whirlwind sailing ship, at Point de Galle, out 88 days. CONVEYANCE OF TROOPS TO INDIA. Towards the end of April 3,270 Turkish soldiers, bound to the Hedjaz, crossed the desert to Suez, in five detachments, which started on five successive days. They were conveyed by railway to No. 8 Station, and thence by easy daily marches they reached Suez, in five days from the time of starting. As soon as the desire of the English Government to send troops across the Isthmus to India was inti mated to the Pacha of Egypt, be expressed his eagerness to afford every possible facility to their transit. As 1,200 Turkish soldiers were on one occasion forwarded in the way we have mentioned, it is obvious that 1,000 English soldiers might have been forwarded daily in the same manner, at any time since the news of the Bengal mutiny reached England. As is stated in a letter of one thoroughly conversant with Egypt, which appears in our issue of this day, the troops could have been carried to Station No. 8 by railway, and could have thence advanced to Suez by marches of 12 miles per diem, tents having been pitched and kitchens placed pre viously at the end of each march for sleep and food. Our correspondent states further, that at any time since the outbreak in India, " with no other con veyance than the mail steamers coming to Suez, 700 men could have each mouth been placed in Calcutta, 400 in Bombay, and 300 in Ceylon. These last could have been taken on to Bombay by the China steamers calling at Point de Gallo twice a month, and these troops have been placed in India without inconvenience to the passenger traffic, and without the withdrawal of a single steam transport from the Indian Government." Acclimatised troops were stationed at Gibraltar, Malta, and Corfu, the greater 'part of which might safely have been despatched at once, as the profound state of peace in Europe ren ders any danger to these stations from a °blip th de main, before their subs titutes arrived, out of e question. Of course it would only have been the first batch of men that would have been dependent on the ordinary mean s of convey an ce from for it is well known that Lord Elpliinstone had steam transports ready to despatch to Suez as soon as he should hear that troops were to be sent Over land to India. The first mail that brought intelligence of the mutiny in Bengal, brought also an expression of opinion from every Englishman in India—with the sole exception of the Governor-General and the Council —that troops ought immediately to be de spatched from England by the Overland route. The Directors of the E , st India Company urged the Home Government to forward reinforcements without loss of time by the overland route. In the press and in Parliament, Ministers were implored to send off troops by the overland route. All was unavailing. Mr. Vernon Smith laughed, and said the disturbances in Bengal were quite trifling, and would probably die out of themselves before troops could reach India from England ; Lord Palmerston. and his colleagues agreed that it was quite sufficient to send reinforcements to India by the longest road, and by any means of conveyance that could be pro cured with the least exertion and at the cheapest rate. What has been the consequence ? On the 6th of October the officer commanding at Cawnpore tele graphed to the Chief of the Staff at Calcutta — "Communication between Cawnpore and Lucknow only by cokaid, and very uncertain." On the 4th of PRESENT - ASPECT OF AFFAIRS. (From the Derbyshire Courier.) It appears that little is likely to be done and a good deal said in Parliament before Christmas. India and toe Bank Charter Act will furnish 'plenty to say; and all the more because the greater part of Honourable Members and_Noble Lords are profoundly ignorant of the real merits of •the case in reference to either question. The Goveinment, it is said, is to assume the entire control of things in India, and with regard to the Bank Chat ter Aet, a B:11 of Indemnify having been obtained, the furthei consideratio n of th e question is to be referred to the Committee which will be re-appointed when Parliament meets alter Christmas. Of course the suspension of the act will continue, the country will have to endeavour to preserve its existence under a system of " inconvertible notes"—somewhat similar to that which existed from 1797 to 1815, and which state the hill lioniste sneer at because they can find no argument whatever t' prove that it was not alp infinitely better system of currency than - Peel and Overstone's. In the meanwhile 10 per cent. discounts area heavy blow and great discouragement to trade. It does not even appear certain that the silver drain Will be effectually checked by the destructive and ruinous depression of all kinds of commodities and produce which is taking place. The truth is that the gold discoveries have caused a wonderful expansion of trade all over the world, this ex pansion has foudd its representative in immense quan tities of instruments of exchange. Bills, cheques, securities of every kind have multiplied, and now, at the command of the Bank Charter Act, all this expan sion is to be squeezed into the narrow limits of a gold currency. ,The expansion having been greater than in 1847, the contraction is also greater, and the operation more severe. The next panic (should Pell's bills continue in force) will probably be worse than this of 1857. The political effects of these commercial convulsions are not difficult to conjecture. Whenever a similar monetary crisis has happened, there has been a growing feeling of dissatisfaction with the present state of things which Las manifested itself in changes of the existing institutions of laws. We have bad 13 changes of Administration since the passing of Peel's bill in 18:9. The cycle of menetery affairs renders the retention of office by any Minister, for more than a few years, very difficult. We wish well to Lord Palmerston. He has hewn himself an indiSpendent, spirited English Minister in times of difficnity and danger. But unless he reforms the-monstrous monetary system under which the country groans, his days of office are, we are con vinced, numbered. We say this, feeling with many others, that the coun try will be at a loss to replace him with an efficient and capable Minister. But the commercial ruin which has occurred, and the consequent distress and misery of thousands and tens of thousands of the people, will inevitably cause a desire for change, in the hope of that change producing an amendment. - We can but hoe that some man may rise with courage and sagacity to apply, as William Pitt did in 1797, the true remedy for the nation's evils. With a sound and sufficient cvrrenoy, defended from exportation by being convertible into gold only at the market price, these devastating commercial and financial storms would be almost, if not entirely, prevented. As it is, trade is fast be ing forced into a meregambling game. The bills of 1819 and 1844 encourage speculation, and furnish the means for carrying it on, till when a few years have passed a contraction of the currency takes place, and all the energies of the nation are prostrated beneath the feet of a gang of cold-blooded and heartless THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. —The r IFTH ANNUAL MEETING will ake pla - e at EXETER-HALL o i THURSDAY, the 10th inst., at 2 p.m. precisely, Viscount BAIVELAGH in the Chair.

PRINCE ADAM CZARTORYSSI. On Thursday a meeting of the Royal National Life boat Institution was held at its house, Johc-street, Adelphi.' The Duke of Northumberland, MG.. Peetd - - dent, in the chair. There were also present Captain M'Flardy, It N. ; Mr. Thomas Chapman, V.P., F.R.S., Mr. George Lyall, Mr. Alexander Bootefour, Mr. Montague Gore, Gene-al Blanshard, C. 8., Mr. James Peake, Rev. C. B. Gribble, M.A. , Admiral Cater, Admiral Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., Captain Perrot, and Captain Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the institution. Mr. LEWIS, the secretary, having read the minutes of the previous meeting, , A reward of 101. was voted to the crew of the life. boat of the institution, stationed at Teignmouth, Devon, for putting off and rescuing two men out of three who had been capsized from their boat on Teignmouth Bar, in a very heavy Pea, on the 27th ult. It being at the time ebb tide, the swamped boat, with the three men, drifted out through the heavy sea to seaward. Small boats in vain attempted to reach her, but the lifeboat majestically pursued her way through the rolling Burt, and soon reached the disabled boat, to which the two poor men were clinging, the third having unfortunately sunk to rise no more. The lifeboat proved herself in every respect a first-rate one, and every praise was also due to her gallant crew. Rewards to the amount of 461. 10s. were also granted to the crews of the Aldborough (Suffolk), Portmadoc, and Rhyl (tubular) lifeboats, for laudably_ putting off, some of them in the night, with the view of rendering assistance to the crews of ships in distress. It is satis factory to find that wherever the lifeboats of the institu tion is stationed no difficulty is over experienceed in manning them on cases of emergency; and although the gallant men are always sure to receive their well-earned rewards from the society, still they are ever forward to render what assistance they can to a fellow-creature in uistress apart from the prospect of any pecuniary remu neration. A reward of 20/, was likewise voted to a boat's crew of ten men, for putting off in'her and rescuing at the risk of their lives, the crew of three persons from a billy boy, which was wrecked off Winterton, Norfolk, on the 27th ult. Seeing the dangerous position of the wreck's crew, the salvors immediately launched a frail fishing cubic. It was just low water at the time, with a very heavy sea. The coble was hardly in a condition for use, and the wonder was how the men collected oars, and trusted themselves to such a boat in going on so perilous an adventure. A reward of 21. was also voted to two men for wading, at considerable risk of life, into the surf at some preci pitous rocks, to the rescue of three men of the wrecked sloop Brothers, of Red Bay, near Belfast. One of the salvors, a coast-guardsman, had lost his hold on the rocks, and was precipitated into th e sea. He was only saved from being drowned by the other men. A reward of Si. was also granted to a boat's crew for their laudable exertions in rescuing, close to the Barber Sands, seven men of the crew of the brig Robert and Ann, of Sunderland, which had sunk during a gale of wind near the Scroby Sands, on the 22d ult. The crew bad taken to their boat, which was partly sto ve, and without any oars. In this state they were fortunately found on the night of the above named. day by a Yar mouth lugger. The silver medal of the institution was presented to James Hogbin, cc xswain of the Ramsgate Royal Har bour lifeboat, in acknowledgment of his repeated set'• vices in assisting to save life in that excellent lifeboat. This boat has been off on service during the last four years between sixty and seventy times, and has been instrumental in saving a large number of persons ship wrecked on or near the fatal Goodwin Sande. Hogbin has, we believe, been afloat in her on, ( very occasion. The life-boats, together with a steamer to tow her out, is maintained exclusively by the liberality of the Rains-. gate Harbour trustees, and there is no lifeboat in the kingdom which in so short a time has done anything like the service of this valuable life-boat. She was built by Beeching, of Great Yarmouth, but was afterwards altered to the plan of the life-boats adopted by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. An interesting reeport was read by the inspecter of life-boats to the institution on his recent visits to the several life-boat stations belonging to the institution on the Irish coast. These periodical visits of a, responsible and thoroughly experienced officer are everywhere at tended with much benefit. On these occasions, w hat ever may be the state of the weather, he always takes the life-boats all rat to tei t their efficiency, and closely examines everything connected with the lifeboat estab lishment. . Thus, as far as the parent institution is con cerned, aided by the zealous co-operation of its several branches, efficiency is secured in the management of its lifeboats, and experience has demonstrated that uuless a lifeboat is carefully examined and looked after, she will assuredly fail in her service in the heur of need. The institution decided to station new lifeboats at Holyhead and at Ardmore, on the Irish coast. It was also resolved to take into connection with it, under cer tain condition; the Norfolk lifeboats.' There are six or seven lifeboats on that dangerous coast, knd in times past some of them have rendered efficient service to shipwreck:, crews. But most of these boats will now require to be replaced by new lifeboats at a large cost. It cannot be too generally know n that during the current year the Royal National Lifeboat Institution has ex pended nearly 4,0001. on lifeboat establidaments alone ; but that has only been accomplished by intrerching to a considerable amount on its small funded capital. It, therefore, rests with the British pualic to say whether an institution which is one of the noblest in our land, and which will soon have under its management about 70 lifeboats, shall pursue its career of usefulness with uninterrupted vigour. A contribution of 1501. was moat liberally presented to the institution by the Ship wrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Society, which bad been collected from its members in aid of the lifeboat cause. The proceedings then closed. On Sunday, the 29th November, the Poles present id Paris celebrated, as usual, the anniversary of their last insurrection in 1830, first by attending mass in the church of the A ,, sumption, where a sermon was delivered by the Abl d Jelowicki, and a collection was made for the fund of the charitable society presided over by the Princess Cza.rtoryski, and afterwards by assembling at the Poll h library, No. 6, Quai d'Orleans, where the Polish Literary and Historical Society held a public meeting, in which Prince Czarteryski once more pro nounced one of tho.e speeches in which, during 27 years, he bas on similar occasions conveyed instruction and consolation to his fellow-countrymen, and has, so to say, passed them under review. The venerable prince once gore reminded of the duties and the virtues which their country had a right to demand of them. " While the world is at peace," said the Prince, let us devote our selves to the study of everything that may conduce to improve the state of our country ; and if jealeus powers frustrate our endeavours, let us in our domestic life purify and strengthen ourselves, so as to be prepared for better times. Let us, above all things, hell fast our faith. Let us show that we are capable of making any sacrifice for it. In this way, and under this banner, we will tire out time heel ; and, perhaps, even the new Emperor of Russia may refuse to sully his reign by the continuation of a perse cut ion which, after having torn from the Church millions of Polish Catholics. threatens with the same fate a whole diocese of the united ritual. Yes, gentlemen, our faith is the torch that lights us, as it is the breath of our life." Having expressed his deep regret that, in spite of their protracted residence in the west, the-Polish emi gration had never yet succeeded in making the nations under.tand that Poland, though partitioned, neverthe less continues to for m an i n t egra l, bound together by the same national s en ti men t. The noble orator con tinued--" It was g enera ll y believed in Europe that as soon as peace was co nc l u d e d we wou ld all hasten to take advantage of the amnesty. We were congratulated on our unexpected good fortune, it being supposed that we would hurry to return to our country to recover our property. A small number of emigrants, whose strength had been broken do en by exile and by privation, did indeed return to their country ; but the greater number persist in representing their country before Europe. Certain journals take upon themselves to assert that the notable personages in the emigration, whom they please to designate as the aristociatic party, are negotiating their return on condition of being re instated in all their possessions. This is a double mis take, for in Russia the State never restores property which it has once taken possession of; and, on the other band, if even such restitution were offered to we would not accept it. That upon which our hearts are fixed is not the recovery of our possessions, but the recovery of our national independence. Your presence here, gentlemen, proves that as regards this point there is but one mind among us. Our youth and our maturity were consecrated to this cause, and a similar and con stant devotion will mark every day that still remains to us of life. On this day I may be ,allowed to recal t 3 your mind how, in 1831, territory, was abl e d ur i n g doned by all, reduced t o a fifth part of her original Poland, stand in g alone , aban doned whale year to offer effectual resistance to Russia, who was secretly aided by a n ally, who professed to remain neu gigantic efforts t e r t a a l n . ding Y o et ut w fo e r thwaeveyeajrusstagasineesnt t t h h e is same Russia and incalculable sacrifices made by the Western Powers and Turkey united against her. Ah, if in her time Poland had but • received the least amount of assist ance • • . 'Rho can doubt that she would have tri umphed ? And if, during the recent war, the West would but have called Poland to its assistance, what different resulte would not its efforts have had But, instead of this, what do they now say to us I—That though our hopes may have been raised by the late war, in future there is no hope for us. Alas, during the war, as well as before the war, the aupport given to our hopes by the policy of Europe was very feeble, and we have therefore now no new reason to de eair. That war was never earnestly desired. After having attempted in vain to limit it to threats, cars was taken to restrict it within the narrowest bounds. During this sanguinary and ecetly duel, fought upon a rock, far from the dominions of all the belligerents, the heroism of the armies left no room for the genius of the commanders to appear. The consequences and contra dictions which folio wed in reality offered no chanoesfor us ; ill success alone-could have driven the allies out of the circle within which they had fatally penned themselves. And, we are bound to admit this, for from leaving us in doubt on this point, they were scrupulous in giving us notices calculated to preserve our country from new disasters. As for the ever renewed offers of the Poles to lend their assistance to a cause, which they considered as that of their country, they were always rejected - by the commanders of the armies in the East. However, one cheering remembrance remains to us from that pain ful period. At the moment when the siege of Sebastopol was already far advanced, one of the allied powers, that yne which has always been must generous to us, that one whose noble hospitality enables us this day to pour out our hearts to:each other—France, I mean—at last declared that in order to continue the sacrifices required object more worthy o f suc h g reat efforts, by the war , it had become n ecessary to assi g n to it in futur ean the re - establishment of Poland must in • vniat Engla,nd, wh o , during four centur ies, ha .l alwaye taken part for Russia against Polan d, had at and that last determined to form and uce agaiest Russ i a a distinct Polieh corps ; nevertheless she cousi proposal of France premature.
