EXAMPLE.—At the commencement of the year 1841 a person aged
thirty took out a Policy for 1,0001., the Annual Payment for which
Is 241. Is. Bd. In 1847 he had paid In Premiums 1681. I Is. Bd. but
the profits being 2U per cent. per annum on the sum insured (which
is 221. 10s. per annum for each 1,0001.). he had 1571. 105. added to the
Policy, almost as much as the Premiums paid.
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first five years when the In-
suranceis for Life.
Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident
Director.

ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.-
Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has intro-
duc,d an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICAL TEETH,
fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resem-
ble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the original by
the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method
does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation,
and will give support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication : and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical,
he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
borne from ten till five.

THE WAY TO WIN—To win affections, to win
fame, to win a fortune by industry or by business transac-
tions—in fact, to win without risk or inconvenience—is one of the
happiest events on which we can ca:culate. Every one is aware of
the power which appea,ance has in gaining the most desirable ob-
jects, and every person i, convinced that success is often decided by
the garments In which they are arrayed. "PROPERLY DRESSED,"
" VERY RESPECTABLY ATTIRED," are the most prominent
parts of an interesting description. Thus the CLOTHING BUST-
NEsIS is the first and toremost in the circle of trade, and on its right
management the success and comfort of millions in an important
measure depends. Therefore, all tasteless, comfortless, and fashion-
less CLOTI/ING is an infliction on the- patience and pockets of the
public. But E. MOSES and SON have won universal and ceaseless
fame by business transactions beneficialto every class—for the
NOBLEMAN every order of ATTIRE required, or for his servants
LIVERIES to any design—for the MERCHANT, CLERK, or
MECHANIC, the best and nest suitable, and at the same time the
cheapest, goods are presented.
The Holiday Dress for Youths and others provided by E. MOSES
and SON exhibits novelty in Materials and magnificence in Style
and Workmanship, which has no parallel ii this or any other country,
arid, as usual, the priceS are much lower than are charged elsewhere.
The Hosiery Goods, for Ladies and Gentlemen are, the newest, the
best, and most fashionable articles which have been produced. Hats
and Caps in every variety for the season, in which superior quality
and cheapness will again win the approbation of all purchasers
A magnificent stock of Boots and Shoes, not to be equalled in any
respect by all other houses combined.
E. MOSES and SON, Aldgate and minories, and New Oxford-
street, corner of Hart-street.
The Emigrant's right course is to get a good Ship and a good stock
of suitable Clothing: the former is required for his safety, and the
latter for his comfort and success. A good Ship may be had in most
places, but a good Outfit only in one Establishment—that is, E.
MOSES and SON'S. Shipping information is furnished without any
charge, and Outfits are speedily arranged for any profession and
o 'cupation for considerably less money than others charge, and at
the same time the articles are better in quality than any obtained
elsewhere. An outlay at E. MOSES and SON'S is productive of
considerable profit to Emigrants, and occasions less inconvenience
in sale than any other kind of goods. A separate department is
kept for Emigrants.
Full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen may be had on
applicatton. or post free to any part of the kingdom.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
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
No CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON,

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Pickford 'a known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to 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
rower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that wo should recur to this
Nvorlt, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of • Quiet Symathisers,'
and • Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from th com-
plaint of which It treats, we are satisfied that many hindreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money—. —This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
•tkely to do much good."—Medicoal Circular, June 16, 1852.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Princi-

and apparently Intractable Forms.
BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xil., and 'yin. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xvill. 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."

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its con4equences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
antion to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
trteete. In selecting HA, department of practice, he has been amply
rev, arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

CHARTERED BANK
Capital, £200,0i0, in 10,000 Shares of X2O each.
Depoit, £4 per Share, with power to increase to 21,000,000
The Charter of this Bank having been duly settled and referred
by the Privy Council to the Board of Tr.tde, where its provisions
were found to be in conformity with the rules laid down by the
Colonial•oftice and Treasury ; it was then referred by the Board of
Trade to the Duke of Newcastle, Secretary of State for the Colonies.
The Directors, on receiving this information h.d an immediate
interview with his Grace, who said there were no objections to the
Charter, but that he considered it proper to refer It to the Governors
of the respective Colonies, and which he would do by the next
mail.

As there Is no objection on the part of the Home Governmen',
and it being also fully admitted that there is by no weans sufficient
Banking accommodation in New South Wales, Victoria, and South
Australia, the Directors have no doubt of the completion of the
Charter without ally opposition on the part of the Colonial autho-
rities.

rant officer's widow's pension was withdrawn without
any equivalent, my lords have no hesitation in concurring
with the committee in the expediency of increasing thes
pay of the warrant officers as follows, it being distinctly
understcod that such increase is awarded partly for the
special purpose of enabling them to make provision by
insurance for their widows :

The Shareholders are, therefore, informed that, in order to effec-
tually carry out the objects of the Contpany in the Colonies, the
Directors will immediately dispatch to Melbourne, John Reed
Mackenzie, Esq., a gentleman eminently qualified in every respect
to represent the interests of the Company, during the period of ob-
taining the local acts, and to occupy the position of Bank Manager
so soon as the necessary arrangements in the Colony ar• completed.

"The long-service medal gratuities to second-class
petty officers to be increased from 71. to 101. An increase
to this amount has been granted to the army in similar
cases by Queen's warrant of 19th December, 1845.
"Men who enter for a period of ten years' continuous
and general service, and complete the time, to be awarded
(in granting pensions)
the increased allowance for time
served as petty officers to which non-commissioned offi-
cers of Marines (who enlisted after the Ist August, 1847)
are entitled, under the authority of her Majesty's order
in Council of the 15th of January, 1849. The eventual
expense that will probably be entailed by this proposi-
tion may be estimated at about 4,0001. a year.
" All men who enter for continuance and general ser-
vice to be allowed to count time for pension from the
age of eighteen (as in the Army and Royal Marines), in-
stead of twenty, as is at present the case in the naval
service.
" Pensions to be hereafter awarded to continuous and
general service men after twenty years' service, instead
of twenty-one as at present. A discretionary power to
be vested in the Board of Admiralty as regards the appli-
cation of this rule to men who have served or are serving
in the navy, under the present system.
"In the event of an armament being required, my
lords consider it important that this department should
have the command of the services of a certain number of
trained seamen, in addition to those borne on the peace
establishment. They recommend, therefore, that men
who shall hereafter be granted pensions for ser-
vice to be held liable, under the thirteenth clause of
the pension regulations (dated Ist January, 1849), to
give further service, if required, to meet the exigencies
of an armament or of war ; and in order to increase
the number of men thus available, they propose that
seamen who have served ten years in the navy, reckon-
ing from the age of eighteen, be granted pensions of 6d.
a day each, and men with fifteen years service pensions
of Bd. a day each, both classes being held liable to give
further service if called upon in the event of an armament
or of war. They do not, however, propose to grant men
with ten and fifteen years' service, pensions at present ;
but to reserve to the Board of Admiralty a discretionary
power for this purpose, whenever the state of the force
.in commission shall lead them to think that such a step
may be taken with advantage.
" The manning committee have so fully stated the rea-
sons which point to the expediency of increasing the pay
of the warrant officers of the fleet, that my lords do not
consider it necessary to enter further into them. It
must be remembered that these situations are the highest
to which the seamen and petty officers of the fleet
can expect to attain and it is important, in a corres-
ponding degree, that they should be sought after and
filled by the most active and deserving men. The im-
portance of the duties performed by the warrant .officers
cannot be exaggerated. Considering also that the war-

COAST-GUARD.—The committee have come to , the
conclusion that it would be inexpedient to alter in any
material respect the present constitution of this force, so
far as it is connected with the naval service. This force
should only be embarked under a requisition from
the Admiralty, having the approval of her Majesty,
any part of the force not required, or fit to embark, to
be available as a coast artillery. The committee recom-
mend an addition of 500 men to this branch.
MEASURES FOR MANNING THE FLEET IN DEER-
GENCY.—The committee state that they have anxiously
considered the means of effecting this important object
without having recourse to impressment. They advert
to the operation of the registry of merchant seamen, and
remark that fishermen, lightermen, and others liable to
impressment, have not yet been brought withia..the
working of the registry system, although forminv. large
portion of the maritime population. ThatgAttl?4..
local investigation into this pint shduler
ROYAL NAVAL COAST VOLUNTEERS.—With regard to
the formation of a coast militia as a part of a naval re-
serve, they recommend that such a desirable force should
be established upon an analogous principle to the pre-
sent enrolment of volunteers for the land militia. They
consider that about 5,000 or 6,000 men, or such addi-
tional number as her Majesty's Government shall deter-
mine, might without much difficulty be so raised chiefly
through the instrumentality of the coast guard. On
some parts of the coast the disposition to 'volunteer may
probably be found less favourable than on others ; but,
under a system wholly 'voluntary, it does not appear
essential that the numbers in each district should be
equal ; this might be regulated to some extent by the
portion of men which could be conveniently trained at
particular coast-guard stations.

Mr. Wontner—Y.,..' a •
;t of Gabriel Sans Garret a
credit—that as .& credit for 210/.
Mr. Wontner tat 1- ter of credit been through
the hands of one o rour cornpondents ? *
Witness—lt hasVetlif6pgh the hands of A. Mare
and Co., of Moscow; *ho are the correspondents of
Duncan, Shearman, and Co., of New York.
Mr. Mullens—lf; ecvlien Messrs. Mare and Co. saw
that letter of credit# iepurported e for a larger sum
than 2101., they would not have edit ?
Witness —No.
Mr. Mullens--But would ha - It back to the
person who presented it to them ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr. Mullens—Have you received any advice from
Messrs. Duncan, Shearman, and Co., to pay money to
Gabriel Sans Garratt except that letter of credit No. 41?
Witness—Never.
Mr. Alderman Wire—ls it the custom of those who
issue these letters of credit to advise all the correspond-
ents, or only the Union Bank ?
Witness—Only our own bank.
Mr. Alderman Wire—Then the parties on the Conti-
nent to whom that letter is addressed would not see the
advice as to the amount.
Witness—No.
Mr. Alderman Wire—They would only see what was
to be advanced upon the letter of credit itself.
Witness—Yes.
Mr. Mullens said he would now proceed to examine
witnesses upon the subject of the Berlin bill.
M. Alexis Marcchaux was then sworn and examined
through an interpreter, as follows :—I am in the service
of Messrs. Shickler Brothers, bankers, at Berlin. On
the 2d March last, the prisoner was at our bank ; I am
quite sure he is the person. Messrs. Shickler and Co.,
are the correspondents of Messrs. Duncan, Shearman,
and Co., of New York. They pay money upon Messrs.
Duncan, Shearman, and Co.'s general letters of
credit against bills of exchange drawn upon the Union
Bank of London. On the 2d March the prisoner re- •
ceived from Messrs. Shickler the sum of 5001. sterlin
against the bill now produced. I saw the prisoner signg
the bill, which is dated Berlin, 2d of March, 1853, for
5001., upon the Union Bank of London, to the order of
Messrs. Shickler Brothers, on account of Messrs. D. and
Co.'s letter of credit. No. 41, and it is signed Gabriel
Sans Garrat: I did not see the letter of credit which
is ti is red-,toin Vie' bill. The money' was paid to the
prisoner upon, the faith of this bill, which is filled up by
- one of toignature. According to thertiMAl of our bank
the letter of credit would be shown to Mr. Schultz,
who would not make out a bill of exchange for a larger
sum than the letter of credit I make the bill out from
the instructions I get from the principal. The letter of
credit would be delivered to Mr. Schult by the cashier,
in order that he might endorse upon it the amount of
money paid. The prisoner remained on the day in ques-
tion in the presence of one of the/principals and myself,
at the bank ; the money was brought into that room
and paid to the prisoner, and there the prisoner signed
the bill before receiving the money. The first endorse-
ment is by Mr. Shickler to Mr. Drory, the manager at
Berlin of the Imperial Continental Gas Association.
Mr. Wontner—ls it the practice of the house to keep
a copy of the letter of credit 1
Witness—No.
Mr. Isaac Walton—l am the clerk to the Imperial
Continental Gas Association at their offices, No. 7,
White Hart-court, Lombard-street. Mr. Leonard
Drory is the manager of the Association at Berlin. The
signature, L. Drory, upon the bill produced is in Mr.
Drory's handwriting. The directors of the Association.
endorsed the bill to Messrs. Spooner, Attwood, and Co.
Mr. W. M. Holmes—l am clerk to Messrs. Overend,
Gurney, and Co. On the Bth of March last, I was in
the service of Mr. George Michael Harrison, a notary.
On that day I, on behalf of Messrs. Spooner, Attwood,
and Co., presented the bill produced to the Union Bank
of London, when the answer I received was, " the credit,
No. 41, against which this bill is drawn, is all paid."
Mr. Debenham recalled :
Mr. Wontner—You stated that you only pay upon
these letters of credit when you have received advice
from Messrs. Duncan, Shearman, and Co.
Witness—Yes.
Mr. Wontner—Not till you have received advice.
Witness—We should not dishonour their signature
although we had not received advice.
Mr. Wontner—But supposing a letter of credit had
been issued apparently by Messrs. Duncan, Shearman,
and Co, and you had received no advice when it was
presented, should you not defer until you had received
advice ?
Witness—That would be a case for our discretion ; it
would not be in the ordinary course of business ; but
such a case has never occurred.
Mr. Wontner—You have never paid any of Messrs.
Duncan, F Shearman, and Co.'s letters of credit till you
have received advice from them ?
Witness - -No.
Mr. Wontner—Supposing a bill of exchange to be
drawn by a third person against a letter of credit which
had not been advised, I presume under no circumstances
would, ou pay it.
Witness—Decidedly not.
Mr. Wontner—You remember the first occasion of
the prisoner coming, when he received of you a portion
of the 1001.
Witness—Yes.
Mr. Wontner—He showed you the letter of credit?
Witness—Yes.
Mr. Wontner—Did you tell him that you would look
to your correspondence to see whether you had any
advice upon it ?
Witness—l do that always.
Mr. Wontner—Did you not say to him, "I will look
to our correspondence and see whether we are advised
upon it ?"
Witness—l may have made that remark—it is natural
enough. I generally say I will look to the advices.
Mr. Wontner—Would you take the letter of credit
away with you, or would you in his presence look to the
advices ?
Witness—lt is all public, whether I take it away or
not ; there is no screen. I should, in his presence, look
for my letter of advice, and if I found it inspect it.
Mr. Alderman Wire-- Always in the presence of the
party presenting it ?
Witness—Yes ; I may say always.
Mr. Alderman Wire—No question seems to arise upon
that, because the prisoner had not exhausted his letter
of credit.
Mr. Edward Merewether—l am proprietor of the
Albion Hotel, 3 Bridge-street, Blackfriars. On the Bth
March the prisoner came to stay at my hotel. He di
not give me any name. On the 11th, he said he should
probably dine there. He returned between three and
and four o'clock in the afternoon, and in a hasty manner
ordered his bill, and went away in a cab in a great
hurry.
Charlas Thane (the officer)—l was at the shop of
Messrs. Moses and Son on the afternoon of the 11th
March, with Mr. Debenham ; the prisoner left there in
a cab. I followed him in another cab to the corner of
Bridge-street. I there lost sight of him ; that was as
near as possible half-past 2. I have seen the driver of
the cab in which the prisoner went away from Mr.
Merewether's hotel.
Mr. Rudolph Prommel—l am manager of Messrs.
Monteaux's money-changing office, in the Haymarket.
On the morning of the sth March, the prisoner came to
our office and brought about 670/. in Fredericks d'or,
Louis d'or, Napoleons, and florins, for which I paid him
the sum of 6741. by cheque on Messrs. Ransom and Co.,
our bankers. I asked him his name ;he replied Louis
Oriel, and I wrote it down. He told me that he lived
in Commercial-road East. On giving him the cheque,
he said he had also about 100 Russian half-imperials
which he brought on the same afternoon, about half-
past three o'clock, and for which I gave him another
cheque on Messrs. Ransom and Co. for 8141. I accom-
panied him to the bank, and saw him receive cash for
the cheques, amounting to 1,4881.
Mrs. Susannah Abbott—l reside at 53, Cambridge-
street, Edgeware-road. The prisoner lived in my house
from the 15th to the 29th April. He said his name was
Permentel.
Mr. Mullens—That is the case upon the bill of ex-
change given by the prisoner to Messrs. Shickler. On
a future occasion I shall be prepared, on the arrival of
Mr. Wilson, who has been sent for from St. Petersburg,
to go into the case of bills amounting to 3,8001., also in
pursuance of this supposed letter of credit, No. 41.
Mr. Alderman Wire—How do you shape your charge,
Mr. Mullens ?
Mr. Mullens—The charge I make against the prisoner
is that of attempting, by false pretences, to obtain the
sum of 500/. from the Union Bank of London, and I
ground that charge in this way—the prisoner goes to
the banl:ing house of Messrs. Shickler at Berlin, and
there makes a statement to them, either verbally or in

bill of exchange ; it may be a letter or anything, but it
is addressed to the Union Bank of London. -According
to the facts which have come out to-day upon the evi-
dence of Mr. Debenham, I will take it to be sufficiently
proved—for the present at all events—that that pretence
is wholly without foundation, and that the prisoner at
that time had no authority to draw upon the Union.

Mr. Wontner, in the course of a very able argument,
and at considerable length, contended that the prisoner
had not been proved to have committed any offence
rendering him amenable to the laws of this country,
however much he might have transgressed the laws at
Berlin.
Mr. Alderman Wire—This is a case of so much im•
portance both to the commercial world and to the pri-
soner himself, that I shall remand it in order that I may
have time to consider the law as applicable to the case,
whether or not I have authority to send him to trial ;
because I would not subject him, a foreigner, to the
ignominy of a trial unless I thought a conviction would
follow. Therefore I shall remand the case for a week,
which will enable Mr. Wontner,
who says he has not
had time t-co look into the cases, to make himself better
have, •
soner
that the prisoner
must with the state of the law, so as to shake, if I
he can, the impression that
must be committed for trial.
Tlfe prisoner was then remanded for a week.

MANNING CLAUSES IN MERCHANT SEAMEN'S Acr.—
The committee allude to the complaints of the merchant
shipowners of the existing restriction as to the propor-
tion of British and foreign seamen forming their crews,
and remark that they could not but regard any proposal
for the abandonment of those restrictions without serious
apprehensions of its effect upon the naval power of the
country.
GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—The committee recommend
that in all cases reference should be had to the character
of the men previous to their admission to this establish-
ment ; and they call the attention of the Admiralty to
Certain suggestions made by the governor of the institu-
tion for improving its internal management.

AMOUNT. OF FORCE TO BE RETAINED IN ENGLAND.—
The committee submit the expediency of maintaining
the navy in commission at such a numerical force as,
independently of the Channel squadron, will admit of
10,000 seamen and boys, exclusive of officers, being re-
tained in England for the protection of the ports and
coasts of the United Kingdom, and suggest that 1,000
additional Marines should also be kept at home for the
same purpose. They consider that the sudden fluctua-
tions to which the naval force has heretofore been sub-
ject ought to be prevented.
_ _

CONCLUSION. —The committee express their concur-
rence in the opinion of previous committees of the House
of Commons with regard to the policy of relying upon
our naval power as the right arm of our strength, and
conclude by indulging in a sanguine hope " that the
various measures which we have recommended will sub-
stantially promote the welfare of the seamen and the
efficiency of the naval service, thereby establishing our
maritime power on a more solid and secure foundation."
