FOR the greatest ameliorations of civilized life, we are indebted to the modern division of attention and labour M the various pursuits of society, and in none have its he- Melts been so manifest as in the healing art. Early convinced of this great truth, MESSRS. GOSS and Co., Members of the Royal College of Surgeons in London, have for twenty-five years confined their attention to the successful to satment of a few prevalent com plaints, viz., the general and :ma' d ebilities of both the sexes, whe ther arising from the solitary indall -ence whioverch a t he constitution, oo highly inflamed I mag i na tion brings like a destroying fiend tte mind, and the affections of youth ; < r from a long residence in hot cli mates, excessive drinking, or any of iier baneful indulgence; and from their daily experience they can wi th con de offer a restoration of the debilitated to vigorous health . Married females of a pure and affectionate disposition, whose t' f mdest hope" has been painfully deferred, may learn with consolation that perseverance in a proper remedial course, will renovate ge teral health, and remove hidden impediments to maternal happiness L An insidious disorder, ho wever inveterate, as also Gonorrhcea, ('sleet, and Stricture, may be rev coved without material reltraint in diet or exercise.

This Society is established for the purpose of transacting ex clusively an important branch of business, which has not. yet been taken up by any other institution. The objects of this Society are to enable parties, at all ages, and in all circumstances, to invest, accumulate, and t ealize, during life, their annual savings ;—to afford to all, and espe cially to persons whose incomes are derived from professional or commercial employments, to Clergymen, Annuitants, Offi cers in the Army or Navy, Heirs of Entail, Landed Proprietors, and others, the means of making provision for those occasions where funds are required, which cannot be supplied or spared from their income ; and to give an opportunity of providing, en terms otherwise unattainable, a fund to be at command at an after period of life, either for their own use and advan tage, or for the benefit of children and others in whom they are interested. Full details of the Society's principles and plan will be found in the Prospectus, which may be had at the Office of the Co n pany, 57. Moorgate-street ; or from Messrs. B. and M. Boyd, 4, New Bank-buildings, Lothbury. Leith - James M. Melville, Esq., W. S. William Home, Esq., W.S. (Eagle Henderson, Esq., Mer- chant Archibald Horne, Esq., Ac countant THE OLD SHEFFIELD SOAP WORKS, Established in the Year 1792, TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, BY T. N. BARDWELL AND SONS, At their Auction Mart, High-street, Sheffield, on TUESDAY, the 25th day of FEBRUARY, at Three o'Clock in the After noon, subject to Conditions of Sale. These WORKS have an old and respectable connection, both among the regular Trade and with the Cloth Manufac turers, all within a moderate distance, and which, in conse quence of tho Railway Lines now opening, might, with great facility, be extended. They are advantageously placed for pro curing supplies of the raw materials, the fre ghts from London, Hull, and Newcastle being very moderate. They have been within the last two years, at considerable expense, enlarged and altered, with a view to their more perfect convenience and ar rangement as a Manufactory, and they are in a state of the beat repair and first working order. They have now Copper-room to turn out 30 Tons of Soap a week; they contain two Yards, with a large Shed in the fur ther one, and a small plot of uninclosed Ground beyond it ; have warehouses, an Ashwork, Mill, Evaporating Pans, and an abundant supply of Water. There is a ready Sale for all the Soap Ashes made on the premises, at 10s. per cart load, of a certain measure, weighing about 27 cwt., being an advantage possessed by but very few houses in the trade. The Ground Plot contains 2,511 square yards, presenting a Frontage of 95 yards to the Road. The Works are close ad joining the Canal ; its Basin and Wharf, and an extensive Colliery, is immediately contiguous, and la'rge 31anufactories aroundthem. These works are h&d of the Duke of Norfolk, on lease (53 years of which will remain unexpired next Lady-day), at the very trifling annual rent of six guineas, all the land in the neighbourhood being now exceedingly enhanced in value since this plot and buildings were taken ; the Canal, New Markets, and rising Manufactories having subsequently rendered this part of the town, which was perhaps the least valuable of any, its principal mart. As the occupant now wishes to retire, in consequence of other avocations demanding his time and attention, the pur chaser, if desired, could be accommodated by leaving two-thirds of the amount of sale on the premises, at five per cent. Possession can be given immediately on the completion of the purchase. For further information apply to the Auctioneers; Mr. B. J. Wake, solicitor, Sheffield ; or to Mr. J. G. Shuttleworth, on the premises. ROYAL PATENT STOVE DEPOT, No. 58, King William-street, London Bridge. PATENT PORTABLE STOVES, in full action in fire minutes. For conservatories, hot and green houses, harness rooms, coach-houses, pantries, store-rooms, shops, and all places requiring warmth, or where damp is to be removed or • prevented; also adapted for carriages, gigs, coach-boxes, &c. &c., to burn from six to twenty-four hours, without any care or trouble whatever. Also sizes particularly suitable for wine cellars, warehouses, halls, passages, and all other places where economy and regularity of heat is required, burning from twelve to twenty-four hours without attendance. Cost of coke for that period from 2d. to 3d. only. The PATF.NT TUBULAR STOVE for warmlog churches, chapels, public buildings, banks, insurance offices, club houses, halls, lobbies, shops, &e., decidedly the best and most perfect stove ever invented, as well as the most convenient. At the cost of one farthing an hour for fuel (for a stove sufficiently large to warm a church, capable of hol din g 2,000 p eo p le,) the fire (which is self-feeding) may be kept up without cessa tion for any period, requiring attention only once in twenty four hours. The quantity of pure warm air, at a wild summer temperature, which, from the extent of radiating surfaces , is equal to that supplied by three stoves of the ordinary con struction, is diffused so regularly throughout the building, as to obviate the necessity of burning or over-heating the air. and rendering it noxious and unhealthy. The heat may be regu lated at pleaiure ; no sparks can escape, so that accidents by fire are almost impossible. The chimney requires no sweep ing; and the elegance and beauty of designs are such, as to please the most fastidious taste. The Stoves may be seen in constant operation, and pro spectuses and drawings as above. Arro ETROPOLITAN LIFE ASSURANCE -Lai SOCIETY FOR Mt I'UAL ASsURANCE. This Society APPROPItIATES the WHOLE of thePRQ. FITS to the reduction of the Premiums of its Members, and this is UNDIMINISHED by AGENCY or COMMISSION, the business of this Society being conducted without incurring that expense. The effect of the principle of Mutual Assur ance, so carried out, is shown by the abatement of FORTY per'C'ent. declared for the ensuing year, upon the Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing, and which abatement has teen computed on data justifying the expectation of the conti nuance of an equal rate of abatement, at least, throughout tha remaining term of life. This abatement of Forty per cent., the . amount being laid out in a new Assurance. is equivalent to a bonus of one-third of the amount of the existing Policy.

A New Edition, in 2 vols., Illustrated with Wood-cuts, price 93: in cloth. " In Mr. Davis's account of China we find every subject brought forward that can throw light on the laws and in= stitutions of a people to whom, we think, th•.t justice has not been rendered by foreigners which is their due. Mr. Davis brings to his task advantages which have fallen to the lot of few Europeans. He resided twenty years at Canton, where he at length rose to be chief of the factory ; he accompanied Lord Amherst's embassy to P e ki n ; and he ranks as one of the few Europeans who have ever really mastered the language and literature of China. He has rendered into English several pieces from their ro mances, their poetry, and their dramatic works, of which last c l as s, in all tongues, but more especially in the unique tongue of China, it is particularly difficult to preserve the spirit in a translation. We have a right, therefore, to consider the state ments which he has now submitted to the public as containing as full and correct a view of this singulzr people, of their go vernment, laws, and institutions—and, in short, of the whole frame of their society, as the many difficulties with which the subject is beset will admit.—Quarterly Review. a s A few of the Fine Edition, in post Bvo., price One Guinea, are still on sale.

The state of the odds as given below will show that Lord Jersey is virtually out of the Derby betting. Muley Ishmael, like his companion Glenorchy, was reported yesterday to have broken down ,and, as a natural effect, were sent to the right-about. This was the only change of any moment, but there were two or or three others of some interest to speculators. Launcelot was in considerable favour, was backed at 14 to I , and trod so closely on the heels of the gelisa colt, that a small bet of 11 to 10 on the grey was obtained with some difficulty; 16 to 1 was offered agst Confederate, and as 15 to 2 was bid agst him and Theon jointly, the latter must be quoted at the same price ; Bto 1 would have been taken about the two. Bok hara, Ottoman, and Warden, wereat pretty nearly the same prices as on Monday, and in very little request. St. Andrew receded to 26 to 1 layers, and was almost friendless ; at all'events, we did not observe any inclination to support him. Monops has at last the outside division ; 35 to 1 was taken in fifties, and so many were anxious to " get on," that 30 to 1, the outside price was offered at the close. Defendant was also in favour at an improvement, on Monday's quotations. The An gelica colt reached 3 to 1 taken and afterwards offered, for the 2.000 guineas Stakes, and a couple of fifties were laid out on Confederate at 11 to 2. We did not hear any others men tioned, nor was there any thing fresh in the Oaks betting. A dull afternoon closed as follows : TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES. 3 to 1 agst Angelica—take 10 to 3 11 to 2 agst Confederate—taken THE DEADY. 13 to 1 agst Angelica—take 10 to 3 14 to I agst Launcelot—taken 1(1 to 1 agst Confederate 16 to 1 aget Theon 18 to I agst Bokhara 25 to 1 agst Ottoman—taken 26 to 1 aget St. Andrew 26 to 1 agst Wardan—taken 30 to 1 agst Monops—take 35 to 1 40 to 1 asst Chameau—taken, and afterwards offered 40 to 1 agst Defendant—taken 50 to I agst Glenorchy—taken 59 to 1 agst Muley Ishmael 2000 to 35 aget Brother to Melbourne—takes 3000 to 30 agst Black Bess—taken 1000 even between Confederate and Launcelot—taken 11 to 10 en Angelica agst Launcelot;—taken THE OAKS. 3 to 1 agst Crucifix—take 7 to 2 14 to 1 agst Black Bess—taken 22 to 1 agst Diploma BROCKLESBY HUNT STEEPLE CHASE.

MONEY MARKET and CITY N E Wk 4 (THURSDAY RVENIWO.) lIERALD.—SaIes of Consols to a somewhat large amount were made in the course of the morning by a leading broker—a circumstance which led to a good deal of conjecture as to the probable motive. By one party it was taken for granted that the Bank of Eng land was operating ; by another it was assumed with equal confidence that Government was disposing of securities belonging to the savings' banks, Exchequer Bills for a like amount being substituted in lieu of them. What the fact may in reality have been we know not ; but there can be but little doubt that the transactions have some connastion with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer's announcement of yesterday relative to the plying off of the unfunded debt. SUN.—The Commercial Markets have been inac tive to-day. The public sales of Tea have gone off flatly, scarcely one-third of the quantity put up having been disposed of, notwithstanding lower prices were sub mitted to. The Funds, too, have shown a greater disposition to decline. Consols for the Account have fallen to 90i, and for Money from 91 to 91i. The sales of Stock in the morning were considerable, one bargain being to the extent of 100,0001. The last price of Consols for the Account was ; of Exchequer Bills but 2s. premium. and of India Bands Is.discount to Is. pre mium. Bink Stock closed at 17S1 to 178 k. In the Foreign Funds there was a good deal done this afternoon. Spanish improved to 2.71 ; Portuguese Five per Cents. (of 1837) to 31 ; Dutch Five per Cents. to 1001 ; Brazilian to 78i ; Colombian to 26k, and Mexican to :19i. London and Birmingham Ittilvray Shares remain at 63 premium ; all the other shares are steady. POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Times of this morning observes, with reference to "the Navy Estimates :—" The prosperity of our commerce, the security of our colonial and distant possessions, the safety of these islands, where Queen Victoria reigns, and the how.:ur of the British flig, which is the pallo:Pum of her great empire, demand at the present hour a vast and prompt augmentation of our defensive establishments; for England, whose policy abjures aggression, and seeks only the maintenance of her own r ecognize om d d rights, ought to be doubly soli cito u s to keep up frila. pidation the whole fabric of her self-protective power."— The Morning Chronicle animadverts on the conduct of the Tories towards the Q ueen, in the following terms : " The personal warfar e carried on by the Tory press against the Queen is so p itiful and paltry, so silly in its details, so glaring in its falsehoods, and so envenomed in its spirit, that it would never be endured in private life against one of lo tier station. Its hest claim to impu nity is the proof it affords of party desperation ; and irie n di scurrilous lid ,i ais ~ d . e amnadg callsogu e s Sir o f theße.. bert Peel to account for w ant ofit also shows how w ide the schism is beco me between th e ra bid and the moderate se ctions of the faction , The Time s l r e c a c Y c e s i s, o th ff e " w• perspicuity and moral courage. Such is the unity in which Tory brethren dwell together. The Church of St. Bartholomew, near the Royal Exchange, will be taken down at the expiration of three months from this time. The remains of Miles Coverdale, who printed the first Bible in Engli s h, are i n t erre d w ithi n it s wa ll s . - T1,43 Sun Fire offices, it appears, are to be erected on its site. On Wednesday night, at eight o'clock, a numerous meeting of the members of the above Society was held at Stannard's Hotel, Charles -street, Covent-garden, to con rider the propriety of presenting a petition to Parliament for the total abolition of the Corn-laws. Mr, Smith in the chair. After some conversation about the proposition for calling a meeting of the inhabitants of Westminster on the subject, Mr. H. Ennis, in rising to move that a.,Petition be pre. pared, said he fel: surprise that, at this time of day, there should be any doubt in any one's mind as to the effect of the operation of the Corn-laws. He thoughethat the mire. chief which was caused by them was sufficiently apparent to convince every man that that mischief was chiefly attri. botable to the Ccrn-laws. It was known that there were about 30.000,000 of inhabitants in these islands,wherequired 6,000,000 of quarters a-week. Then were they to pay 4d. more for the Blb. loaf than what they should do, provided these laws were repealed ?—( 'ker.) Let these laws be repealed—England would find that such at, act would prove the greatest blessing that ever was conferred upon them by the Legislature. He moved that a petition from the Members of this Society be presented to Parliament for the immediate abolition of tile. Corn-laws. 'Mr. PROM' seconded the resolution, which having been agreed to, Mr. iiear,Y ELLIS moved, and Mr. Peoter seconded, a motion for the adoption of a petition, upon which Mr. HETIIRP.INGTON moved that the following words be added to the petition, that the meeting would exhibit but little penetration if they did not perceive that the Corn-laws are but one of the grievous oppressions int• posed on the people by the House of Commons, haring no sympathy with the feelings, the opinions, and the interests of the industrious millions, and they pray your Honour able house to repeal all. laws restricting the impartation of corn, and forthwith to make such a reform in your Honourable House as will give to every man of sound mind and unconvicted of crime, who has attained the age of 21, the right of the elective franchise." Mr. JOHN Ennis seconded the amendment. M. LEIGH said they could not expect to get the repeal without the assistance of the working classes. Mr. P ROUT remarked that by the regulations and laws of the Society they were prevente.l from adopting the amendment. By them their objects were to obtain the extension of the suffrage for every householder in the kingdom. But circumstances had lately risen in society which had tended greatly to retard the object alluded to in the amecdment—( Hear, hear)—yet if there was any disposition on the part of the Society to promote the pro pcsitions eatertained by the mover of the amendment, a special meeting must be called, by which the rules and regulations must be first altered.—( Hear.) He was in hopes that by this time the principles of Universal Suf. fraee would be so far established that the more influential orders of society would have felt di-nosed to have paid attention to the advocates of that principle. The CH AIRMAN put the amendment, which was lost, when Mr. MARTIN moved that the first part of the amendment down to the words "industrious minim's," remain, and that the annexed words be added—'that your Honourable House will give such an extension of the franchise that will more fully represent the intelligence, the feelings, and the opinions of the people." Mr. HETHERINGEON seconded the amendment, and it was agreed to. 'I he following was the petition as amended : To the Honourable the Commons cf Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled : Showeth—That the present restrictions on the importation of corn operates as a heavy tax on the food of the community. That to deprive the people of the interchange of their manufactures for food in the most unrestricted manner, is cuntrary to tLe intentions for which Government was instituted. That any tax on food must of necessity fall unequally en the different clas' es of the eomm tnity ; heavily on the paor, and lightly on the rich. That these laws are the chief cause of distress and dis satisfaction among the manufacturing classes, and that this Meeting would exhibit little penetration if it did not perceive that the Corn-laws are but one of the grievous oppressions imposed on the people by a House of Com mons having no sympathy with the feelings, the opinions, and the interest of the industrious millions. _ Your petitioners, therefore, pray your Honourable House wholly to abolish all llws opposed to a free trade in corn, and to give such an extension of the suffrage, as will more fully represent the feelings, the intelligence, and the opinions of the people. And your petitioners will ever pray. (Signet) JAMES SMITH, Chairman. The petition was unanimously agreed to, and the thanks of the meeting being given to the Chairman, the meeting adjourned. ST.

WRECK OF THREE FISHING-BOATS AND MELANCHOLY Loss or LIFE.—A letter from Clifden, in county Galway, brings details of the following melancholy occurrence, which took place in that vicinity on the 7th instant. The evening of the 6th being fine, the fishermen engaged in the herring fishery put to sea, and set their nets as usual, and some of them remained out all night to keep watch. Towards morning, however, the wind freshened, and before they could get to shore a regular hurricane set in. Several boats were tossed about at the mercy of the waves, and, melancholy to relate, three of them, with crews of five men each, were swamped on the high seas, and all on board lost. One of them was lost in Moninbay. having on board the owner, Pa trick Coneely, together with his son, two brothers-in-law, and a man named King. Poor Coneelv has left seven children, all daughters, unprovided for. The other two boats were wrecked in 13allinakillbag. The brig Shark, Captain Green, laden with oil and hides, and bound from Newfoundland to Liverpool, was driven on shore at Benowen, on the same morning, both ships and crew having had one of the most fortunate escapes that have occurred on that coast for a long time. The crew found the vessel on a reef of rocks, took to the boats, and succeeded ...._ in effecting a landing about seven o'clock in the morning, and w the vessel afterwards ran ashore without having sustained much injury. It was expected that in landing the cargo the vessel might be got. W. J. A. 0' N iel, Esq., of Ilenowen, on whose property the wreck took place, deserves great praise for his exertions in protecting the cargo, and his humane attention to the captain and crew.
