THE MAIL STEAM-SHIP for AUSTRALIA,
October 4, 1854.—The General Screw Steam-shipping Corn-
tally's screw steam-ship " ARGO," 1,850 tons, 300-horse power,
u.corge Hyde, Commander, will sail from Southampton with her
.tliesly'4 Mails for Adelaide, Port-Philip, and Sydney, on Wednesday
she 4th October, 1854, at Two o'clock p m. punctually. The " Argo,"
one of the fastest ships afloat, is justly celebrated for her last passage
to
Australia, having made the run cut in 64 days, and home within
England "Me period. She is also the first steam-ship that returned to
44-agland via Cape Horn, thus accomplishing a voyage round the
World in 128 days. The vessels forming the superb fleet of screw
steamers of this Company, of which this ship is one, are well known
for the punctuality and speed with which iheir voyages are performed.

LIFE ASSURANCE.
MOST IMPORTANT BENEFIT EVER YET OFFERED EY
THE UNIVERSAL PROVIDENT LIFE
ASSOClATlON.—Established 1849.

Persons insured for Life, who have paid three yearly premiums
•nd upward:, can receive back their money, less the premium for
the risk incurred during the time they were insured on surrender of
the policy.

EXAMPLE.
A 13, aged 15, pays 14/. as 9d. a-year for Life fer 5001, and at the
end of seven years wishes to drop his Policy—he will at this time
have paid 99/. 6s. 3d., and for the surrender of the Policy he would
in other offices get a very little, if anything, and the premiums
Would consequently be lost.
The Directors of the Universal Provident, feeling this to be a great.
hardship and a positive obstacle to the adepion of Life Assurance by
all classes, have adopted the equitable principle of deducting the pre-
mium for the time the risk has been incurred from the premiums
paid, and returning the balance to the parties, thus making a profit
themselves without any risk. In the example above the Insurance
for 500 i. for the time would have been 91. 9s. 7d. per annum, or 661.
Is. Id.; this deducted from 991. Os. 3d. leaves 321. Ms. 2d. to be
returned. The advantage of tilt• principle is peculiarly applicable
When Policies are taken out to cover Loans.
Diseased lives and lives rejected by other offices taken.

System, obtained by the use of the Microscope in detecting and
distinguishing, by urinary examination, the real cause and effect of

are added, Commentaries on the Physiology of Marriage, with pre-

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
nc'od, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
other clas. of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their Physical condition, and who are conscious of baring hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.

It is absolutely necessary thatall 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 consequences 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.
TheAnthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
chldric.s, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
f nth in their pretensions.
NERVOUS DEBILITY may be had, price 2s, of Messrs. Piper,
