This Company is formed for the purchase of land and development
of the mineral resources of the Island of Ceylon.
The fact that Ceylon abounds with mineral wealth has been now
ascertained beyond any doubt.
The Island of Ceylon (with a population of about one million and a
half) is known to possess a most favourable climate. and has long been
famed finite valuable productions.
It can be reached within thirty days from this country. The facility
thus afforded for the extension of its trade, the increased demand and
enhancement of value which will be secured for its varied products will,
Without entering upon any detail, at once suggest itself to the most
Ordinary observer.
Its commerce with England may be stated as in a state of tran-
sition, as there can be no question that the present year will exhibit'
a large increase. The affairs of the Company will be managed by
Parties who have had considerable experience, and are well ac-
quainted with the country and its people.
Lands, known to the Directors of this Company to contain the
beat minerals, arc obtainable by them at a very moderate rate in
Tee simple, and arrangements have been made for an efficient staff,
to proceed forthwith to Ceylon to take the necessary steps for the
'mediate working of the Cqmpany.
The minerals consist of Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron, and Plumbago
to a large extent, within a few feet of the surface. The facilities for
Working the Mines and the convenience of transit, coupled with the
tact that labour can be had at a rate cheaper than in any other
Country, form in themselves elements so highly favourable to the
Prospects of the Company, as to insure certain and permanent
Isacem.
The Directors desire to draw attention to the following, taken
, "
Copies of extracts of correspondence between her Majesty's
"vernment and parties in Ceylon, vide Blue Book, page 15, printed
by order of the House of Commons, 21st July, 1847 :"—" Persons
the best informed entertain little doubt that the vast mineral re-
sources of the country hitherto undeveloped, but which are known
paensively to abound, will eventually present no inconsiderable
feature in the export trade of the country."
EXTRACT TAKEN FROM REPORTS OF SIR J. E. TENNANT, LATE
COLONIAL SECRETARY OF CEYLON.
"Ceylon is rich in minerals. Metallic products comparatively
noticed in the interior."
EXTRACT FROM REPORT BY DR. URE.

I find that these specimens are exceedingly rich, and vary in
w- itMosition. Some of them, like that marked No. 22, from Ceylon,
contain nearly two-thirds (sixty-six per cent.) of copper for one-
bird of sulphur.

the Offices of the Company.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND MATURITY.
2314--. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
moctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
:isulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
need more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
-4 4ea known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
'a the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist-
ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
7aistence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility,various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri-
a. Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
pnefides of personal management which cannot be violated without
eltrring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
7a how the evil and its con-equences may be avoided, and above all,
ual t
there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
Iderangement.,, to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
)ACTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
Paints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless
f
t•!10 taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
'•e confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
"0- In selecting thi department of practice, he has been amply
treatment
arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated

A MISERLY BEGGAR.—During the late heavy fall
ecarrancde
of snow a poor miserable man made his a
at the farm of Guys.lly, near Nairn and')
quarters. He was shown to a comfortable avebarn,
where all of a like tribe find welcome. shelter. Ii
the course of the evening the mendicant called one of
the servant-men to speak with him, when he
com-
plained of being ill, and that he thought he would
be better for some spirits. He produced 3s. and a few
coppers, saying, " that was all he had in the world."
Shortly a shake-down was provided for him, and some
warm blankets. He put off his rags, which were in such
a state of filth and vermin that no one would come near
them. When he had got some warm toddy, &c., he
fell asleep, and the lad in charge having provided some
better habiliments than his own, withdrew the filthy
garments on the point of the muck-fork, and dug a hole
under the snow in the yard, and buried them out of
sight. In the morning the invalid made a great
noise about his own clothes, and would on no
account rest satisfied until the lad promised to bring
them back. Suspecting that money might be con-
cealed in the rags, they were dug
up and carefully
turned over with a pitchfork. In the inside of the
coat was a pocket which was closely secured with but-
tons. On opening it 31. in silver, tied in separate
papers, tumbled out ; further down was a leather purse,
tightly tied with a string. This was unloosed, and a 51.
note and some small notes foun. In another place a
number of shillings and sixpencesd and loose coppers were
discovered—altogether above the value of 101. In the
meantime the neighbours have appointed a person to
nurse the poor old creature in his distress, at stated
wages, and so long as his money lasts he will derive the
full benefit of it.--Edinburgh Witness.
