IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES OFFERED
TO ALL CLASSES.—LIFE ASSURANCE.
At the present time, when so many newly-created Insurance
Offices are advertising peculiar advantages, the importance of
assuring in an office well established must be obvious ; and the
Directors of the PROVIDENT CLERKS' ASSOCIATION feel con-
fidence in calling the attention of the public to their Institution,
which was formed in 1840, under the patronage of the Bank of
England and the principal merchants and bankers of London and
the provinces, and which off,,rs the following neculisr advantages t--
1. Being enrolled UNDER THE FRIL,DLY SOCIETIES' ACTS, the
sum assured can be secured to the WIDOW, WIDOWER, or CHILDREN
Without payment of PROBATE and LEGACY DUTY, or the risk of IOSS
by unfortunate circumstances, or the reverses of trade.
2. The mutual principle of assurance and division of profits every
five years, assurers of three years partici, ating,
3. An invested capital and a large annual income, offering a perfect
guarantee.
4. Claims paid immediately under discount, and all policies indis-
putable, except in case of absolute fraud.
5. Loans ou the security of policies of assurance.
6. Policies can be assigned, and the assignments registered.
To Clerks in particular this Association, from its Benevolent Fund
attached, with an invested capital, offers benefits combined with
Life Assurance which no other office in the kinder', can present, as
will be seen on reference to the prospectuses, which can be obtained
at the office in London, or from the numerous agents in the
provinces.By theorderrHolp Blloz Y arNdR BYRNE, Secretary.,

I,ll,3:isyYthe
CJ " age of IChivalryVis gone, and thatL of Economists sts and
Calculators The
A Rvmaca r
Calculators has succeeded." The glory of the age
con-
sisted in the attire of the knight being suitable for hiszisop or
military avocations ; the age of chivalry is therefore restored by
designs in costume, introduced and perfected by E.
SON. Stylish fit, comfort in wear, novelty in materials, and splen-
dourd
in finish are some of the features of E. MOSES and SON'S
Sporting Dress.
As Economists, they have reduced the price to the most reasonable
scale, and as Calculators, have attained the most desirable elevation
from a hich they supply magnificent Dress to Ladies, Gentlemen, or
Mechanics. Coats, light and waterproof, gems of modern art, useful
but not cumbersome, agreeable wear in shower or suns ine, these
Coats are enclosed in a neat case, or may be put into the pocket of
an ordinary Dress Coat ; these ay introductory to hundreds ot new
styles to be presented by E. MOSES and SON for Autumn
WllO SHOULD EMIGRATE, AND WHO SHOULD OUTFIT?
The capitalist, the industrious, the agriculturalist, the mechanic,
in fact every man who deserves to participate in wealth and possess
property, but labour must preceed enjoyment, the journey must go
before the possession, and such articles as are needed for both are
called an Outfit. E. ISIOS'ES and SON name a few of their qualifi-
cations, and let the Emigrant judge " who should Outfit."
They have an immense wholesale department, where capitalists
may make the most eligible investments, and where Goods suitable
for Australia, or any other country may be procured at such prices
as will afford the amplest profit on every purchase. From this de-
partment families emigrating will derive the highest advantages.
They keep a stock ot Hosiery, Boots, and shoes, &c., for the
" Diggings," and Dress of every description expressly prepared
with the most accurate acquaintance with any voyage or climate,
on this the Emigrant may implicitly depend.
Many years experience in Outfitting on the largest scale has put
them in possession of an exclusive power in procuring, manufac-
facturing, and arranging Outfits, to which they appropriate a sepa-
rate department in their gigantic establishment, where every Emi-
grant at once sees the purposes they are intending to serve. " Who
then can Outfit" like E. MOSES and SON.
Full Lists of Outfits, and all information relative to sailing of
vessels and cost of passage may be had on application, or post free
to any part of the kingdom.
SPECIAL NOTICE, the Establishments will be closed on TUES-
DAY and WEDNESDAY next, September 14 and 15, resuming
business on THURSDAY morning, September 16, at Seven o'clock.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike
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

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resuling
from 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. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.

This Company is established to introduce Railways into Upper
India. The First Section, about 130 miles in length, commencing
at Allahabad, at the confluence of the Ganges and Jumna, will
terminate at Cawnpore. The future Sections will carry on the Line
to Agra, Delhi, Lahore, and the Indus.
Allahabad is an ancient and populous city, of great fame and im-
portance in the East. Crowds of Pilgrims resort to its sacred
shrines and temples—it is the entrepOt for the traffic by the Steamers
and the larger Country Craft—and is one of the principal Civil and
Military Stations. Cawnpore is the largest Military Station in India.
There is, both by Steamers and Country Craft, a continuous per-
manent water communication between Calcutta and Allahabad.
The yearly tonnage of the Lower Ganges is 1,500,000, by the Country
Craft alone. The number of Passengers is also very great. Deep
water ceases at Allahabad, and consequently...it is.xt-tnisimportant
city that the real difficulty: Snot expense of transit begin. The sand-
banks of the Upper Ganges, and the sharp ledges of rock of the
Jumna, r.tidering the navigation by even the smaller Country Craft
slow and precarious.
The insurance of merchandise and property from Agra to Allaha-
bad by the river route, in consequence of the danger and diftl,loty of
the navigation, is as high as from Calcutta to England, the distance
in the one case being 300, in the latter 15,000 miles. .

Above Allahabad, notwithstanding the detective river navigation,
and the rude and expensive laud carriage, which costs from 4d. to
Sci. per ton per mile, moving at the slow rate of ten miles in twenty-
four flours, there is an officially ascertained traffic of above 1,000,000
tons, and a land passen2er traffic by various conveyances exceeding
100,000 per annum, besides passengers by boats, and about 300,000
travellers on foot. _ .

Having a great and navigable river connecting Calcutta and Alla-
habad, a Railroad would, by beginning at the latter city, and pro-
ceeding by Agra and Delhi to Lahore, establish a steam communica-
ton from Calcutta through the fertile and populous Dooab in the
North-West Provinces, " occupying the great line of Indian traffic
with Central and Upper Asia." This is the great line of Military as
well as Commercial intercourse, more than three-fourths of the
Bengal Army being cantoned above Allahabad, and almost all emer-
gent movements of troops and stores taking place to the north-west,
or in advance of that town.
One of the Directors of this Company, so far back as 1846, in a
work of his on Indian Railways,* stated that he had seen " no large
portion of territory present the like facilities for the introduction of a
Railway, as from Allahabad to Delhi."
" This line would have no rival, for the river Steamers, instead of
competing with it, would form a powerful basis, and keep up a con-
tinuous communication between the Railway and Calcutta, and
our great Military Stations and Magazines at Allahabad, Cawn-
pore, Agra, and Delhi, would all be in close communication with
each other, and, by means of the steamers, have a free and rapid
access to Calcutta "
Subsequently, the Indian Railway Commission confirmed, from
actual survey, the accuracy of this opinion ; and still more recently,
Major J. I'. Kennedy, late Director of the Railway Department to
the Government of India, in his report to the Marquis of Dalhousie,
Governor-General, expressed himself as follows :—" Between Alla-
habad and Delhi there is no engineering question of difficulty what-
ever, as the beautiful fiat bed (extending for several hundred miles in
the direction of the Line, in the Dooab between the rivers Ganges
and Jumna), with its numerous commercial towns, offers, perhaps,
the most singularly inviting district for laying down a railway that
can be found in the world ; free as it is from inundation, from hills,
from river-crossings, and road-crossings, in short, from any impedi-
ment, and almost every ordinary source of expenditure in railway
construction." Slight as the whole amount of labour is that would be
required to carry a single line of railroad from Allahabad to Lahore
and the Indus, it is the intention of this Company to proceed in a gra-
dual manner, opening short sections, having an important town at
either terminus.
The route consists of component parts, each complete in itself, pos-
sessing a local as well as a thorough traffic.
The present capital of the Company has been fixed at a sum which
will leave a sufficient margin for future contingencies, and the capi-
tal for future sections will be raised frOrn time to time as may be
necessary.
From the paramount importance of this Railway to the good
government and prosperity of India, the Directors have every hope
of obtaining from the Hon. East India Company the same terms and
conditions as have been already accorded to similar undertakings,
the existing traffic securing a return on the capital invested far be-
yond the amount of any guarantee that could be required.
The Directors are hereby empowered to treat for and make such
arrangements with the Court of Directors and the Board of Control
as to them may seem beneficial to the Company, as well for securing
a guaranteed dividend from the East India Company, as in regard to
territorial concessions.

The Deposit to be paid on the allotment of Shares will be Two
Shillings per Share, being after the rate of Ten Shilling% per cent.,
the amount prescribed by the Act 7 and 8 Vict., c. 110.
A Deed embodying the Provisions required by that Act, and such
as the Directors may consider proper for the regulation of the Com-
pany, and for carrying out the objects in view, will be prepared ;
and if any Shareholder should fail to execute the same for One
Month after the publication of a notice in the " Times" newspaper,
calling on the Proprietors so to do, his Shares, with the Deposits
paid thereon, will become forfeited to the use of the Compnny.

Application will be made for a Charter of Incorporation or an Act
of Parliament, limiting the liability of the Shareholders to the
amount of their Subscriptions.
Applications for Pro•pectlizoo and Shares may be made to the

The vast tide of emigration which has recently flowed from Eng-
land and Scotland into the Australian colonies, composed of indi-
viduals possessing in the aggregate a large amount of capital ; the

their agricultural and commercial resources, render the extension of
sound Banking Establishments, under cautious management, a sub-

it appears from the report that the sum of 1,738/. 78.7 d.
remained to be carried forward to a new account for equalising fu-
ture dividends.
The Directors allude to the unparalleled circumstances in which
the Branch Bank, at Melbourne, has been placed by the gold dis-
coveries in the sister coloay, and they recommend the creation of
2,500 new shares, of 201. each, for the increase of their capital. They
add that their stock of coin (notwithstanding the great extension of
their exchange business, involving a considerable accumulation of
funds in England), amounted to the large sum of 230,4701. 12s. 6d.,
being more than one-fourth of the whole amount held in the colonies
of New South Wales and Victoria. The Directors state in the report
that having in view the great change in their financial affairs then
in progress, and the duty it appeared to impose upon them of bring-
ing all the resources of the Bank within their immediate control,
they had ordered the shipment to Sydney of upwards of a quarter of
a million sterling from this country.
Application has been made for a Royal Charter of Incorporation
to limit the liability of the Shareholders in the English, Scottish, and
Australian Chartered Bank, and the operations of the Company
will be commenced immediately on the charter being obtained. If
the charter be not granted, the deposits will be returned to the sub-
scribers in full. _ _

Power will be taken by the deed of settlement to be executed in
compliance with the terms of the charter to increase the capital of
the Company to 1,000,000/. ; and, if the capital be increased, the new
shares to be created will be offerSd, in the first instance, to the
existing Shareholders, and to such influential parties in the colonies
as way be likely to extend the business of the Bank.
It is considered that the deposit of 41. per share will enable the
Directors to commence operations in an efficient manner, and en a
scale commensurate with the importance of the undertaking. An
interval of at least three months will intervene between all future
calls, none of which, it is expected, will exceed 21. per share.
Application for Shares may be made, in the form annexed, to the
Secretary (pro tern.), at No. 4, Adam's-court, Old Broad-street,
London ; to Messrs. Joshua Hutchinson and Son, 39, Lothbury ;
to Messrs. Sheppard and Sons, No. 28, Threadneedle-street, London;
or to Messrs. Allan and Dunlop, St. Andrew-square, Edinburgh.
