This Institution was originally established under a different title
in the year 839, on the plan of admitting:the assured to participate
in four-fifths only of the profits ; but the Society has since been re-
modeled so as to become a strictly " Mutual Association."
The whole of the funds and property belong to, and are accumn-
latA for the exclusive benefit of the assured.
The profits are divided annually: among the policy-holders, and
applied in reduction of the current year's premium-; •thes.constitut
ing, in effect, an immediate cash payment to the assured. • "
ILtlf-credit policies are granted on terms unusually favourable to
the holders. the amount for which credit is given being gradually li
quidated out of the profits. •
Two Tables of Rates have been computed ; one entitling the as
cured to participate in the profits after pa_ meat of five annual pre-
miums ; the other considerably loWer, in which the period of parti
cipation is deferred two years longer : the premium ultimately pay
ati!e by the assured is, however, precisely the same, whichever Table
of Rates may in the first instance he selected.
General meetings of the members are held annually, to whom full
and complete statements of the affairs and funds of the Society are
submitted, and by whom the division of the profits are from time to
time declared.
At the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th April last, a di-
vidend of 30 per cent. upon the current year's premium was awarded
to all members who had made the requisite number, of payments on
their respective policies.

*5 The "Britannia fluidal Life Association" is altogether dis-
tinct from, and independent of, the Proprietary' office transacting
business under the name of the " Britannia Life Assurance Com-
pany." The only connexion between the two establishments is, that
their affairs ale conducted on the sine prethises and by the same
officers, by which means the entire disbursements of the Mutual
Association are reduced to a small per tentage on the receipts.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRUCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from
the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg.
—"
1)r. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself td the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
—"
The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to
cure A disease of which they kuow.nothing,..wi►h no other-object-
MI to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma-
torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May t, 1852.
—" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of
the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate
price at widch the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April

OBSERVATIONS ON THE TREATMENT OF SPERMATORR-

BY F. B. COURTENAY,

" Those who complain most loudly are those only who know not
how to use the common instruments
geons has been mar'red with all kinds of violence, an indifference
about the sinaple cure of diseases, and a passion for operations and
all the excesses and horrors of surgery."—John Bell's Surgical
Observations.—" In proof of his views he (Mr. Conrtenay) has
given the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve yen's, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful.

FIFTY THOUSAND CURES WITHOUT MEDICINE BY

FOOD FOR INVALIDS AND INFANTS.
The REVALENTA ARABIC A FOOD is the only natural, plea-
sant, and effectual remedy (without medicine, purging, inconveni-
ence, or expense, as it saves fifty times its value in other means of
cure) for all nervous, stomachic, intestinal, liver, and bilious com-
plaints, however deeply rooted, dyspepsia (indigestion), habitual
constipation, limmorrhoidal affections, diarrhoea, acidity, heartburn,
flatulency, oppression, rheumatism, gout, cough, asthma, dropsy,
headachy, giddiness, congestion of the brain, noises in the head and
ears, distension, palpitation, eruptions of the skin, impurities and po-
verty of the blood , sinking, sickness at the stomach during preg.
nancy, at sea, and under all circumstances, debility in the aged as well
as infants, depression, irritability, wasting away,fits, spasms, cramps,
inflammation and ulceration of the stomach, angina pectoris, fevers,
scurvy, paralysis,&c. The best food for infants and invalids generelly,
as it never turns acid on the weakest stomach, nor interferes with a
good liberal diet, but imparts a healthy relish for lunch and dinner,
and restores the faculty of digestion aud nervous aud muscular energy
to the most enfeebled. The only remedy which has obtained 50,000
testimonials of corns of the above and other complaints, many of
which had resisted all other modes of treatment, and been aban-
doned as incurable.

carani's letter did not tell me to go to one of these for
three years, for such au order is never given
for a de-
terminate time. The letter stated, as usual in such
orders, that I was to remain there during his pleasure.
The letter of Ancarani contained many ;
cursous things.
He was an old man, and had somewhat lost his wits.
Sir A. COCKBURN—What do you mean by saying in
your book that he died loaded with execrations? Wit-
ness—He had been 47 years inquisitor, and during that
time he had been committing all sorts of iniquities; and
on that account I treated him as I did is my book. His
name was public.
COUNSEL—Was it stated amongst the'curious things in
his letter, that you were sent to one of these convents on
account f immoralities? Witness—No.
What were the curious things?—There was amongst
other things a queStion about another convent with
which I had something to do. Ancarani wished to bring
about a reformation of the clery in Naples. He wanted
to change some good habits into bad ones; that was the
reason I said he had lost his wits.
During the time you were staying at Naples had you
intercourse with various women?—To the same question
I give the same answer as before. I left Naples and

intended to go on to-Viterbo.- rwas not arrested by
the police and taken to Rome. I was arrested at Rome.
No proceedings were instituted against me at Naples.
I was not sent out of Naples. I asked for my passport;
it was granted to me, and I 1
left Naples freely. I was
never conducted out of Naples by the police. In Sep-
tember, 1841, I left Naples with an uncle of mine; went
as far as Trosinoni, a town between Rome and Naples,
stopped there a week, and returned to Rome openly and
freely. I never was ordered by the police to leave
Naples. I stayed at Trosinoni instead et going on to
Rome, on account of a lameness in my foot; and I was
obliged to keep my bed for a certain time after my return.
Cot:Nem—Did not the police remove you from Naples
after you had returned? Witness—The police gave no
such order. After my recovery I went to Rome and
some places in the aeiasbourhcod. I was arrested in
Rome.
You heard nothing of any proceedings of the Inquisi-
tion against you on the score of immorality?—
And, of course, you never admitted the truth of any?
—I never admitted the truth, of any charges of immo-
rality that were made against me before the Inquisition.
Did you admit the truth oe the charge of having
taught heretical doctrines?—I had no occasion to make
that admission, because they did not urge the question.
Did you make any admission?—Yes; for instance, I
was accused of having taught the doctrine of justification
by faith alone.
Did you in respect of having so preached throw your-
self on the mercy of the courti-I confessed, and justified
myself by St. Thomas Aquinas.
I did not throw myself
upon the mercy of the court,
Were you suspended?—lt is a general rule that who-
ever is accused before the Inquisition, and comes out
without being absolutely absolved, is suspended.
Then you were not absolutely ahanived?....No, I was
placed under surveillance. .
For how long?—I was to remain
under surveillance
until my final reconciliation to the Holy See.

virtue of which I was allowed to e s a decree, by
-c lam out of the Inqui-
sition; this is proved by my surveillance, which was

ribeni? Witness—l believe in the summer of 1843,
while I was at Corfu. Her husband was a small trades-
man. He then went about with a small operatic com-
pany, and was afterwards engaged et, the theatre. I
believe, though I have never seen him at the theatre,
that he was a chdrut singer. When I first made their
acquaintance I cannot recollect where they lived. I got
to know them because all the Italians sought my ace
qataintance, and I took pleasure in it.
'Sir A. COCKBURN—Did you learn what this woman's
character was?—No.
Did you take any trouble to,ascertain?—No.
Was she somewhat remarkable about her dress—did
she go with her bosom much exposed ?—No; on the
contrary, she used to be dressed very modestly.
When you took her into your service had you heard
anything against her character?—No.
Who recommended her husband to you as a servant?
—He came to ask me, as I was to have a servant, to take
him.
Did you ask his character?—No; I knew him by ha-
bituelly seeing him in the streets, and he appeared to be
a good man.
What ! you mean from his outward appearance?—
Yes.
And the- lady; did she appear to be a good person
from her appearance?—l had no reason to find fault
with her.
Was she good-looking?—(Laughter.)—Neither the
one thing nor the other.—(Laughter.) They were in
my service in Corfu for a few months—when I went to
Zante I dismissed them, but sent for them as soon as I
had taken my house. I used part of that house for a
chapel. Coriboni, like the greater part of Italians, was
neither Catholic nor Protestant.—(Laughter.)
Sir A. COCKBURN--WOTO you ORO of that sort?
Witness—No.
Was Coriboni of the one religion or the other, as you
happened to turn him about?—No; he had au antipathy
against the Roman Catholic Church, but he was not yet
aProtestant.
Lie was in a state of transition, or chrysalis?—
(Laughter.)—Not quite so.
COUNSEL—Good enough for a clerk, but not , for a
parson; you had got through that stage, and were suffi-
ciently advanced to bo a parson—was that how it stood?
(The witness made no reply.)
COUNSEL—The lady, too. did she officiate in any ca-
pacity? Was she one of the paw-openers? Witness—
No; never. Coriboni continued to officiate as clerk to
the very last day that I had this chapel. Mr. Reynolds
did not, the first time he came to my chapel, remonstrate
against the employment of such persons. Oa the con-
tray, he has often used my servant for what he wanted.
COUNSEL—Did he not remonstrate against their being
employed in connexon with public worship? Witness
—No.
COUNSEL—You remember having remonstrated with
Mr. ,Reynolds on account of his intemperance? Wit-
ness—Yes, and I was requested to do this by his own
wife.
Was he very much addicted to intemperance?—As
far as I can judge, he was an habitual drunkard.
By day as well as night?—That I cannot tell.
You have seen him drunk?—Sometimes.
How long had you known himj before you remon li
-
strated with him?—Three months.
What has become of the Coribonis?—.They aro in the
Roman States.
What! he went back to Roman Catholicism, did he?
—I believe there are very few Roman Catholics in the
Roman States.
They are Protestants, are they—No; negative.
Have you made any attempt to bring them here?—No.
Did you ever say to Mr. Reynolds that Madame Cori-
boni was a Magdalen, and you did not like to withdraw
your protection from"her?—No; it is a story.—
(Laughter.) I never walked with Coribones wife in the
street. I may have met her in the street and come home
with her, but that only very near the house.
COUNSEL—What made you leave Zante? Witness—
I had determined to go to Malta to open an Italian
church, for which purpose I was corresponding with the
Bishop of Gibraltar. I opened a domestic chapel a
fortnight atter my arrival in Malta, subsequently another
church. I received secretly from his family the means of
subsistence

day was fixed for resuming the investigation into his
conduct; on the contrary, I thought the investigation
was finished.
COUNSEL—Had not Dr. Hadfield told you be was
going to resume it? Witness—No, no, no. [He con-
tinued.] On coming to England I lived in Northum-
berland-street, Strand. While lodging there I engaged
Harriet Harris as my servant. I afterwards removed to
Shaftesbury-crescent. Mrs. Achilli came there two or
three days after. There was a person employed in
putting down carpets when I first went there. He re-
mained there until late in the evening. I never took
liberties with Harriet Harris; I never touched her. I
say the same thing with respect to Jane Legge. I know
her sister Mrs. Logan who lives in Shaftesbury-cres-
cent. When the subaceaas were served upon her and
her sister she did not send any message to me, but two
of my friends being lodgers there, I bad occasion to go
to the house, and I heard of it. I did not look at the
subpoenas and tell them that they need not come. She
told me that she was forced to come by a man who had
put this subccona and a guinea into her hand. I may
have said it was a curious thing, but I gave no advice.
COUNSEL—Did you not tell her it any one came
about this matter to shut the door in their faces? Wit-
ness—Not in that sense; not about that.
COUNSEL—WeII, about what? Give your own version
of it. Witness—She told me that it was with violence
this paper had been put into her hands. I said, "I do
not believe that in houses in England any violence can
be offered."
COUNSEL—You did not use the words, " Shut the
door in their faces?" Witness—Oh, no.
COUNSEL—Did she say anything to you about being
intimate with her sister Jane? Witness—l think not.
COUNSEL—What! cannot you recollect whether or not
such a charge was made? I ask you again, did she not
charge you with being intimate with her sister Jane?
Witness—No.
COUNSEL—Why did you say " I think not" just now?
Witness—l did not understand you; I was not answer-
ing in that sense. She never said this to me. On the
contrary, she was sorry anything had been said about
my having been intimate with her sister. I never took
the slightest liberties with Sarah Wood, nor did her
father or uncle ever come to me to complain of my con-
duct towards her.
Sir A. COCHBURN—I now put the same question to you
with regard to England that I have done as to other
places where you have been. Have you had connexion
with any other women besides these?
The Foreman of the jury—The jury think that is a
very unfair question to ask.
Lord CAMPBELL—I think that the Learned Counsel
has a perfect right to put it—(Slight applause)—though
at the same time it is a question which the witness is
not bound to answer. I think it is not an irrelevant
question.
Sir A. COCKBURN—I will put a specific case. Did you
know Louisa Colchester? ;
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL submitted that there was
no plea with respect to Louisa Colchester.
Lord CAMPBELL thought that the name of Louisa
Colchester should have been put upon the record if it
had been intended to ask any questions about her.
Sir A. COCK said that that was impossible, be-
cause, if the information which the defendanthad taken
bad re-
ceived was correct, the intimacy with her
• e the record was made up. He submitted that
place sine
this question as a means of testing the cre
he could put
dibility of the witness.
Lord CAMPBELL, however, decided that the question
could not be put.
Sir A. COCKBURN—When did you openly renounce
the tenets of the Church of Rome and become a Pro-
o Corfu I
testant? Dr. Achilli—As soon as I got t
to the Pope.

When did you become convinced that t e hoc r ne o
transubstantiation was untrue?—l began to have doubts

On this doctrine when I was professor of p y
Viterbo, and was explaining a treatise upon it.
When was that?—At Viterbo, in the year 1831 0r1832.
After you had become convinced of the falsehood of
the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, did you
continue to act as one of its priests, and to celebrate its
ceremonies?—In my case there was what has happened
in that of all the reformers who have seceded from the
Roman Catholic religion.
Then, am I to take it as true that you celebrated the
mass after you had ceased to believe the doctrines in-
volved in it?—l was not perfectly convinced.
Sir A. COCKBURN (after reading a passage from
Dr. Achilles work) While you were continuing to
perform it were you not perfectly satisfied of ifs impo-
iition?--I had that persuasion in my mind, but I had
not yet felt the strength of that persuasion in my heart.
Then you were persuaded that it was an imposture in
your
mind, bat you did not feel it in your heart?—

more in the heart than in the mind.
Was it not made matter of complaint that you did not
attend the choir regularly when you were professor of
philosophy at Viterbo?—No.
Re-examined—lt is the habit of persons to ho out late
at night at Corfu.
Dr. Achilli then retired from the witness.box, having
been under examination just seven hours.

Rome. I was a member ot the Dominican order. I
was a father of that order. I am not now of that Church.
