The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting 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
digvidl
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
legally Personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un.-

The public in general are invited to a consideration of the compre-
hensive plan of this Society.
Whilst it transacts all the ordinary business of Life Assurance on
the most liberal conditions, it freely opens its doors to those exposed
to extra risk, and affords them advantages which have heretofore
been denied.

It grants Assurances against every contingency of life to persons
of all classes or professions, on terms equitably adjusted to the risk
incurred.

SPECIFIC 'ADVANTAGES.
This Society, grants Ariaurariets on therlives of all classear in-
'Cludle Seafaring, Military, and Naval Service, as well as persons
proceeding as passengers to foreign climates.
2. No extra premium.charged on Assurers who desire to travel be-
tween any port in the United Kingdom and any of the ports from
Gibraltar to the Sound.
3. No extra premium charged for residence in any part of Europe,
in Australia, or Canadas, or any healthy parts of North or South
America.
4. Assurances may be had on the Lives of Mariners, to cover the
constant trade between the United Kingdom and any part of the
world, or the constant trade in any given place, ,as for instance be-
tween the East Indies and China.
*** The premium for a specific voyage may be obtained on liberal
terms.
'5. The extra premium which is charged for residing in unhealthy
climates, or for actual service in military or seafaring pursuits, is
discontinued. on return to, and during residence in, the United
Kingdom, or`the healthy parts of Europe. The Policies are then
continued during residence at the ordinary premiums standing against
the age of the assured at the time of effecting the assurance, evi-
dence as to health being first adduced to the satisfaction of the Di-
rectors.
6. The whole of the profits divided among the assured for life, all
of whom are proprietors, and possess control over the management
without responsibility.
7. Guarantee Policies for Fi lelity of Trust, in combination with
Life Insurance, granted at little more than the simple rate for ordi-
nary Life Policies.
K. All Policies indisputable, except in cases of premeditated fraud.
No charge to the assured for medical fees, stamp duties, or any other
expenses in effecting a policy beyond the premium.
9. The Directors give favourable censideration to proposals from
diseased or non-select cases, at premiums proportioned to the risk,
a system especially advantageous to parties whose health may have
been impaired by over attention to business, foreign residence, &c.
From the principles which are here briefly stated, it is evident
that the system of assurance acted on by the Hope Office cannot be
too strongly recommended. To all who have any surplus capital it
offers a secure and profitable mode of investment ; it combines all
the advantages of Assurances and Savings Banks together, for, in
the event of premature death, a large capital is at once created for
the survivors, that would require years to be produced by any other
mode of investment.

Proprietary Capital—and the advantages of both systems will thus
be combined.
The assured will in future participate in the Profits in propor-
tion to the number and amount of the premiums paid between every
division, so that if' only one year's premium be received prior to
closing the books, it will obtain its due share.

INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION,

The investment of money' WO this Association,
which Ivas
established in Mar, 1814, on a plan peculiar to itself, secures equal
advantages to the surplus capital of the affluent and the provident
ravings of the industrial classes of the community, and affords an
opportunity-for realising the highest rate of interest yielded by first-
class securities, in which alone the money is employed.
Moneys deposited with the A.ssoctation, for Investment, are
exein?t from liabilities on account of life contingencies, as well as
the expenses of management, which are borne by the Lite Depart•
went, in consideration of the business brought to it by Investment
transactions ; therefore, Depositors enjoy the entire profits yielded
by their capital free from deduction of any kind—an advantage
which no other Institution, either public or private, holds forth, or
can afford, to its members.
Interest or Dividend, is payable half-yearly, in January and July.

The Capital Stock is altogether distinct and separate from the
Depositors' Stock in the Investment Department. It constitutes,

THE CAPTAIN'S GOOD. SERVICE PENSION.
His Grace the First Lord of the Admiralty has
bestowed the good-service pension, which fell to his
petronage on the promotion of Rear-Admiral Bruce,
en Captain John Edward Walcott,. 1822, the new
for Christchurch. The paramount claims of
this gollant officer to be rewarded for I service
will, we think, b) universally admitted rood
;he following sketch of his career from O'Byrne's
Naval Biography :-
John Eolwarci Walcott, is third eon of Edmund
V'alcott Sympson, Esq , of Winkton, Hants, brother
Captain Charles Walcott, R.N., and brother-in-law of
Rear-Admiral George Henderson. This officer entered
of
the Navy Oct. 19th, 1802 (under the patronage ,ofthe
late late Right Hon. George Rose, Treasurer of the Na '
,n board the Blenheim, 74, in which ship, bearing the
broad pendant of Sir Samuel Hood, he sailed fur the
West Indies. On his return he joined, as midshipman,
iu June, 1801, the Lively, 38, and in her, with other ships
in company, Oct. sth following, was present at the cap-
ture, off St. Mary, of three Spanish frigates,
.laden with
treasure, and the destruction of a fourth. He also, on the
29th of May, 1805, bore a part in a very spirited
~kireaish in which the Lively alone sorely galled, near
Cadiz. the Gloriso, Spanish 74. Bring again, in Octo-
ber, 1806, placed under the command of his friend Sir
Samuel Hood, be continued uninterruptedly to serve
with that estimable officer, until the period of his death,
which took place at Madras, Dec. 24, 1814, in the Cen-
taur, 74, Hibernia, 120, Tigre, 74, Owen Glendower, 36,
Illustrious, 74, Clorinde, 40, and Minden, 74. While on
board the Centaur, he accompanied the expeditions of
1807 against Copenhagen and Madeira, and performed
the duties of signal lieutenant at the capture, Aug. 26,
1808, in sight of the whole Russian fleet, near Rogers-
, which surrendered,
wick, of the 74 gun-ship
after a close and furious conflict, productive of a loss to
the Centaur (in company with whom was the Implacable,
74), of three killed and 27 wounded, and to the enemy
of 180 killed and wounded. Twenty days previously to
the latter event be bad succeeded, on the death of
Lieutenant. James Shea, who was killed, to the command
of the ship's cutter in an attack upon a Danish dispatch-
boat, which had in vain sought security under the fire

his examination he was ordered by the
commander in chief, Sir James Saumarez, Oct. 18, 1808,
to act at lieutenant in the Centaur; and on 25th Novem-
ber followin" he was confirmed. In recommending Mr.
Walcott for this promotion, Sir Samuel Hood, in a letter
to the Comptroller of the Navy. Sir Andrew Snape
Hamond, thus (after alluding to his very gallant con-
duct ' in the boat affair just mentioned), expresses him-
self:--` I can say no more to you in his favour than that
I hope he will not quit me until he can get another step.
g, good young officer does not exist.'
A. more deservin
A t a subsequent period, September, 1814, Sir Samuel,
who was then commander in chief in India, end had it in
contemplation to return overland to Europe, addressed a
communication to the first Lord of the Admiralty, Lord
Melville, of which the following is a transcript:-' My
Lord,-The time of the approach to the termination
of my command on this station being near, and
having been enabled only to promote two of my
lieutenants, who had been with me many years, I have
to entreat your Lordship, should I not have the chance
of another vacancy, to do me the kindness before I
to promote to a commander my
strike my flag,
flag lieutenant (John Edward Walcott.) He is
an officer whose attention and ability in his profession
caused me to place him in that station; he served with
me in the Baltic, Mediterranean, and this country in the
same situation, and when my secretary was obliged to
return to England from ill-health soon after my arrival
here, seeing me in distress be volunteered his services for
both situations, which he has filled with much capacity
and judgment. He is the son of a very respectable gen-
tleman in Hampshire, and will do honour and credit to
the service whenever be is advanced. I have, therefore,
to request your Lordship's protection towards him.' As
a further illustration of the nature of the position held
by Mr. Walcott near the Admiral's person, and of the
circumstances which, as far as he was concerned, attended
' the latter's death, we may quote the following passage
from Captain Basil Hall's third series of Fragments of
Voyages and Travels'-' When, unfortunately for his
profession and for his country, Sir Samuel Hood fell
sick at Madras, and knew that his last moments were
fast approaching, he called his faithful friend and old fol-
lower in many ships and many actions, Lieutenant Wal-
cott, to his bed-side, and said to him:-" It will be too
hard, Walcott, to die in this country, but should it so
please God, let nothing deter you from going home and ac-
counting to the Admiralty for my command to the East
India station." These were nearly the last in.
telligible words he uttered, and they serve to
,bow how strong, even in the hour of death, was
his sense of professional duty. As Lieutenant Wel-
sott had served during the whole of Sir Samuel
Rood's India command, in the double capacity of flag-
lieutenant and secretary, and had enjoyed the Admiral's
entire confid=ece, he, and ho alone, possessed the means
if accounting to the Admiralty for the measures corn-
oleted or in progress for the good of the service, and
herefore the Admiral suggested to him the propriety of
nis voyage home to report matters in person. The
,enior officer, who succeeded to the command in the
Indian seas (Commodore George Sayer), felt so desirous
,f following up the friendly intentions of his lamented
predecessor, that, knowing the late Admiral's attach-
neat to Lieutenant Walcott, he offered to promote him
into a death vacancy, which had either taken place or
was certain to fall within a week or two. Moreover,
'le assured him that after the necessary time had been
served he should have tho first vacancy for post-promo-
don. These were, indeed, tempting offers to a young
,fficer devotedly attached to his profession; but they had
no influence over a man bred in the Sam Hood school.'
The Admiral's dying injunction appeared to this right-
minded officer fully as binding, or, if possible, more so,
than a written command must have been in his lifetime.
To England Walcott went accordingly, and the difference
in professional standing which it made to him was this:
-Had ho remained in India, as Sir Samuel Hood's
successor proposed, he would undoubtedly have
become a post captain of 1816, instead of which his name
now stands in 1822-six years later on the list ! Had it
been sixty times six, however, it would have made no
difference in his conduct.' Mr. Walcott. returned home
in the Malacca, 36, Captain George Henderson, bring-
ing with him, addressed to the Secretary of the Admi-
ralty, a letter from Commodore Sayer, proclaiming in
~erms of high panegyrie, the opinion in which he had
been held by the Commander-in-Chief, by himself, and
• by the captains of the squadron who had had any oppor-
tunity, of witnessing his worth. His promotion to the
rank of commander took place June 6, 1815; but from
hat period until appointed, Sept. 14, 1821, to the Carna-
ion, 18, ho remained unemployed. Sailing, injanuary,
1822, for the West Indies, ho fell in with, in the follow-
ing August off the west end of Cuba and gave protection
to the trade passing through the Florida Stream from Ja-
maica to England. A mistaken and singular opinion
having been adopted by the committee of Lloyd's as to
,he degree of attention he had paid to the mercantile in-
tereets on this occasion, gave rise to a correspondence
oetween that body and the Board of Admiralty, and led
to a discussion in the House of Commons (on the motion
of Mr. Joseph Marryat, the chairman of the committee),
in March, 1823, when Sir George Cockburn, in address-
ing the House on the subject, declared " that Captain
Walcott's conduct had been in exact accordance with the
duty he had to perform. .In December, 1822, Captain
Walcott joined the Tyne, 26, into which ship he had
been posted May 6 preceding; and at the commencement
of 1823 he again escorted a homeward-bound convoy
through the Florida Stream. He was subsequently sent
with the Thracian, 18, Captain John Walter Roberts,
under his orders, to endeavour to effect the extirpation of
the pirates cruising in the Old Bahama Channel, and on
the ooast of Cuba adjoining. After searching 400 miles
of coast, in order to examine the different creeks and
inlets where small vessels could be sheltered and con-
cealed-an operation that occupied two months-he
gained sight, Mtfrch 31, 1823, off Baracoa, of the Zara-
gozana, a notorious schooner of 120 tons, carrying 1 long
18. pounder on a swivel, 4 long 9-pounders, and 8 swivels,
with a crew of between 70 and 80 ruffians, who, aware
Chat their utteoities had placed themes beyond the reach of
mercy, had bound themselves by oath, in the event of
their being at any time successfully boarded by the Bri-
tish, to blow up not only their own vessel, bat themselves
and their assailants. On perceiving the schooner, of
which they had boon several days in quest, the two
men-of-war, under the guise as much as possible, of
merchant ships, stood towards her under easy sail. On
ascertaining, however, their real oharadter, the Zara-
4ozana crowded all sail to the eastward, and succeeded
in gaining the difficult harbour of Mats, where she was
ioon moored, head and stern, with her broadside com-
manding the entrance,littlomore than a cable's length in
breadth. At 130 P.M., the ships being far in the offing,
Captain Walcott, wishing to avoid delay, ordered the
boats, armed with two carronades and manned with 47
hands, to be hoisted out, and in person led them to the
desperate attack. At three P.m., having arrived within
gunshot, the British became exposed to a galling fire
from the schooner and from several of her crew, who
had been sent on shore and stationed among the
hushes at the harbour's mouth. Having sustained
and returned the fire for three.quarters of an hour,
the boats, availing themselves at length of a favour-
able opportunity, gave three cheers, and dashed with
impetuosity alongside. Pacic-struck at their deter-
mined spirit, the pirates attempted to save themselves
oy jumping into the sea. Twenty-eight of them, how-
ever, including their villanous chief, Csytitano Aragonea,
were secured, and the whole of them (with the exception
,f five, admitted as King's evidence) ultimately bunged
at Port Royal, Jamaica. Sixteen, who escaped froTitone,
st
vessel, were taken in the woods by troops secste
lo aogf the
:heal by the Governor of Barccoa. „- and 15
enemy during the fight amounted to 10 killed
wounded; while that of the British was
, persever-
man killed and five wounded. The courage‘ Walcott

the Tyne, and who throughout the cruise had re-
peatedly brought both her and the Thracian in safety,
through an intricate and dangerous navigation. Captain
Walcott's impaired state of health obliging him, in the
ensuing May, to invalid, Sir O. Rowley appointed Capt.
Roberts his successor in the Tyne, and gave to Mr. J.
D. Robinson, midshipman, who hal assisted at the cap-
ture of the Ztrsgozsna. an order to act as lieutenant. Capt.
Roberts and Mr. Bull had been left during the engage-
ment on board their respective ships; but by the time
the capture was completed, having followed the boats,
they had reached nearly within gunshot. We may add
that, during his examination of the different creeks,
C4.ptain Walcott had found on an island in the port of
Maranjo, a cargo consisting of 1,100 casks of wines and
spirits; and that, upon his own responsibility, consider-
ing the concealment of the wine suspicious, and believing
it to be some of the captured property taken by the
pirate, he hal embarked it. It was afterwards con-
demned and sold at Jamaica for 6,0001., two-thirds of
which were dedacted from the captors for Government
and colonial duties, leaving only 2,0001. to be shared;
whereas had Captain Walcott failed to establish the
cargo as the property of the pirates, he would have been
liable to the full extent of 6,0001. Since he left the.
Tyne he has been unsuccessful in his efforts to procare
employment.
" Upon the appointment of the Duke of Clarence to
they Up
of Lord Iligh Admiral, Sir Charles Rowley
brought under the notice of his Royal Highness a state-
ment of Captain Walcott's services while under his
command, claiming for him at the same time the deco-
ration of the third class of the Order of the Bath. In
an official letter subsequently addressed by the Duke to
the Secretary of State for the War and Colonial De-
partment, Viscount Goderich his Royal' Highness de-
sired that Captain Waloott's
name and services, accom-
panied by his recommendation, might be submitted to

Cominander Henry James Lacon (1842) has been
appointed to command the Daring, 12, to be commis-
sioned at Sheerness. This officer is the third son of
the late Sir E. K. Lacon, Bart. He entered
the
naval college in 1823, and after he had passed his ex-
amination he served five years as mate, having been
promoted in 1835. As a lieutenant be served long
and with distinction. He was lieutenant of the Cas-
tor, 36, and North Star, 26, under Lord John Hay,
during the operations on the north coast of Spain
from 1835 to 1840, but was not promoted until 1842,
when he obtained his present rank for his services as
senior lieutenant of the Blonde, 42, during all the
operations on the coast of China. As a commander
he served in the Vanguard, 80, and now, after 19
years' service afloat, he has received another appoint-
ment as commander.

The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain
Lord A. Firzclarence, and her tender the Fairy, are
coaling—both vessels will go down to Osborne this
morning. It may be probable that his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert may pay a visit to the Channel
Islands during the early part of the week. On
Friday next will be given the annual fae to the sea-
men of the Royal yachts and the labourers at Osborne.
Rear-Admiral Superintendent H. Prescott, C. 8.,
went on board the Neptune, 120, Captain Scott, yes-
terday morning, at Portsmouth, and mustered the
crew of that ship, and the officers and men attached
to the ordinary establishment.

Sheerness seems to be rather a favourite port for
commissioning ships, although it is the worst for
manning them.

Bittern, 12, Commander Hon. George Douglas,
has hoisted the pendant at Sheerness, and has com-
menced entering her complement of 125 officers and
men.

Daring, 12, to be commissioned by Commander
Lacon, will also have a complement of 125 officers and
men.

Miranda steam -corvette, designed by the late Rear-
Admiral Lord John thy, C. 13, has returned to
Sheerness from the Clyde, having received her ma-
chinery there. As her fittings for sea have been
prepared at Sheerness she will remain there until
complete.
Olin, 12, steam-frigate, at Portsmouth, has filled
up her coal bunkers, but has unbent sails.
WOOLWICH, AUG. 23.—The Resistance troop-ship
will leave Woolwich at an early hour to-morrow with
Captain Fitzgerald's company of Royal Artillery and
detachments for Gibraltar, and Captain Goodenough's
company and detachments for Malta. The companies
and detachments paraded at half-past five o'clock this
morning, and marched from the garrison, beaded by
the band of the regiment, to the dockyard, at half-
past six, and shortly after seven the men were all on
board, with the wives and children of those who were
fortunate enough to be drawn—five in number being
the regulation of married women permitted .to obtain
a free passage with each company when ordered on
foreign service. There were so many married men
in the companies embarked to-day, that five more
than the regular number of wives were permitted on
p e, on their
board for each company for a free passage,
undertaking to find their own provisions during the
voyage. Brigadier Mejor Bingham, Captain Harrison,
acting in the room of Captain Riddell, Deputy-
Assistant-Quartermaster-General of Artilery, and
the Adjutants of the 4th and sth battalions, superin-
tended the embarkation. The men were much
gratified to be allowed the whole of the day to stow
the necessaries they have taken with them for their
comfort during the voyage. On previous occasions
they used to leave in an hour or two after their em-
barkation, and often became sea sick before the ar-
rangements for the voyage were all completed on
board.
MANNING THE NAVY.—A committee of flag offi-
cers and captains, consisting of Admiral Sir William
Parker (chairman), Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, Cap-
tain the Hon. Richard Dundas, Captain Peter
Richards, and Captain John Shepherd, are now sitting
at the Admiralty, Whitehall, for the purpose of sup_
plying the royal navy with efficient and able-bodied
seamen, whenever an emergency may arise to call for
their services. We presume that his Grace the Duke
of Northumberland has entirely discarded the crude
and abortive plan bequeathed to him by Sir Francis
Baring, and has determined in vindication of the
pledge given by himself at the commencement of the
late session of Parliament, to put his shoultdoerthteoptrhee.

A.N UNWELCOME PASSENGER.—The Radiant, Cap-

mein, in the East Indies. About three weeks ago, while
drawing near to the English land, a great snake serpent, of
the most venomous kind, made his unexpected appearance
in the cabin during
the night watch. Those on board who
were asleep were immediately aroused, all more or less ter-
rified. A light was. procured, while the captain armed
himself with a sharp instrument, and after following him for
some time and watching his movements, they at last suc-
ceeded in cutting him right through the middle and chop-
ping off his head, but not before he had made several at-
tempts to dart at his pursuers. lie was found to be about
