"it is with much pleasure I communicate the great efficacy of

" My wife had been suffering the most excruciating agony for

PRUSSIA.

The German Gazette of Frankfort says that the
Prussian Government has resolved to request all the
German Governments to declare in what manner
they mean to conform to the resolutions of the
National Assembly of Germany on the Constitution ;
and if they are disposed to make a collective or
separate declaration thereon. The Gazette adds, that
whether Austria enters or not into the German union,
Prussia will defend the federative system.

The metallic reserve has again advanced, the in-
crease hAng about 2 millions ; the Paris Bank shar-
ing a diminution of 1 million, and those of the de-
partments an augmentation of 3 millions. The
discount accommodation afforded in Paris is about
850,000 f. greater than the week before, whilst in the
branch banks there is a falling off of nearly 3 millions.
The bills protested at Paris show a diminution of
about 300,000 f., and the overdue bills one of 160,000 f.
On the asset side is set down a sum of 1 million, as
a first instalment of 3 millions lent to the department
of the Seine, in acclrdance with the Bill which passed
the National Asseinbly. Oa the side of the Ihlbilities,
the notes in circulation have declined about 21
millions, 1 million in the Paris establiihment, and 1
in the branch banks. The account current of the
Treasury has increased about 5 millions, the amount
now being 31,733,666 f. The whole amount of the
metallic reserve at present is 277 millions, to 432i1f
millions of notes in circulation.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
the Company being prohibited, by the a4th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PRE NIIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assarance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 33 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death o

FRANKFORT.

In the sitting of the German Parliament on the
26th, the chapter of the Constitution entitled the
Council of the Empire was, on the first reading, car-
ried by a small majority in the following form:—
Art. 1, sec. 1. The Council of the Empire consists of
the plenipotentiaries of the German states. The mem-
bers of the Council of the Empire are appointed by the
Governments of the states in question.
Sec. 2. The Council of the Empire forms a deliberative
college (literally, a college for giving opinions). It as-
sembles at the seat of the Imperial Government. The
plenipotentiary of the lurgest German state, whose Re-
gent is not the supreme head of the Empire, presides in
the council.
Sec. 3. The resolutions of the Council of the Empire
are dependent on the majority of votes.
Sec. 4. Tho Imperial Ministers are entitled to attend
the sittings of the Imperial Council, or t ) cause them•
selves to be represented therein by Commi,saries.
Sec. 5. The drals of laws which the Imperial Go-
vernment wishes to bring before the Parliament are to
be submitted to the council for its opinion. The council
has always to deliver its opini m within a time to be
speeifiel by the Imp erkl Government. If this period of
time be not observed, the Imperial Government is not
prevented thereby from bringing its Bill into Parliament.
Sec. 6. The Imperial Government is empowered to
take the opinion of the Imperial Council in all cases in
which it may think fit to do so.

r ONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1849.

Among the political engagements of last session
it will not be forgotten that, on the 28th of August,
Lord DUDLEY Saremar gave a written notice of his
intention to move, in the session which will be in-
augurated on Thursday, for leave to bring in " a Bill
to limit to three years the duration of Parliament."
Vat engagement (like so many others entered into
Amewhere abut the same period by other represen-
tatives) will yeti speedily he afforded an opportunity
for .its fulfilment. We have no fear whatever that it
has been in any manner forgotten b y tla Noble Lord
the Member for Marylebone; neither do we antici-
pate that its importance will be overlooked by the
mass of the population. The notice of motion is
altogether too explicit t be misunderstood, and
the nature of the proposed reform is in every
respect too simple and vast in its character to be
easily banished from recollection. It comes within
the same category u the innovation projected by the
Hon. Representative of Bristol—that innovation which
Aar so successfully advocated on the Sith of August,
by a majority of five in a House of 167. Triennial
Parliaments is as comprehensive and as comprehen-
sible areforrn as the Ballot. It is a reform, more
s
over which, from its compact magnitude, possesses an
advantage over the more elaborate schemes of im-
provement propounded by Mr. Hums in reference to
the whole system of government, and by Mr. p
--orsnea
in reference to our annual expenditure. Grand as
the latter schemes unquestionably are, their very
grandeur obstructs their progress with embarrahs-
meats. Yet, if not in their complicated entirety, these
alterations in the mechanism of our polity may be
assuredly forwarded piecemeal. Such is the reflection
that has evidently recurred to the lion. F. Hearer F.
BERKELEY and to Lord DUDLEY STUART, and has im-
pelled them to bring separately under the considera-
tion of the House two gigantic measures which con-
stitute comparatively minute portions of the
enormous projeot unfolded several months since
in the riding-school in Albany-street, by the
Honourable Member for Montrose. In acting
thus the representatives of Marylebone and Bristol
are forwarding in the meet effectual manner the
glorious principles advocated half a century ago by
the immortalßeforreer CHARLES JAMES Fox, and are
at the earn. tips, offering no impediment whatever to

BELGIUM.

BRusSELS, JAN. 27.-1 t is the intention of the
Government to place the Palace of the Prince of
ORANGE at the disposal of the diplomatists who arc
to take part at the conferences at Brussels for the set-
tlement of the Italian question.
Preparations have been commenced within the last
few days.
By desire of the Minister of Finance one of
the wings of this Palace has been furni%hed with
the furniture borrowed from the Palace of Terveuren.
It does not appear that Austria has yet officially
nominated her [representative, who is to take part in
these conferences. The name of M. COLLAREDO has
been mentioned, but his appointment is not confirmed.

CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL
LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

INVALID LIVES.

In addition to the ordinary Assurance of Healthy Lives, this So-
ciety, early in the year 1824, originated the plan of granting Policies
on the Lives of Persons more or less deviating from the standard of
health. Having issued one-fourth of the whole number of Policies
on Lives of that description, the Board have recently caused a careful
investigation into this branch of the business to be made. The result
of this investigation has proved highly satisfactory as to the past, and
encouraging for the future. The data derived from long experience
n this class of cases, and exclusively available by this Society, en-
able the Directors to state with confidence their conviction that the
system now adopted by them for Assuring Invalid Lives is as safe
and beneficial as that upon which the scale for Healthy Lives is con-
structed.

was 207.
Letters from Olmutz of the 20th state that KRAUSS
has been appointed Governor of Gallicia, having
resigned his seat in the Ministry, and that Scnauut
Luca will become Minister of Justice, STADION of
Finance•, and BACK. of the Interior.
The Prussian Steals Anzeiger of the 27th instant
says—" The Austrian army, which now consists of
500,000 men, is composed as follows-358,122 in
fantry, 44,524 cavalry, 31,315 artillery, 40,000
baggage-men, and 3,539 marine troops. This pow-
erful army is to be increased to 700,000 men in
March next. Italy and Hungary are to contribute
an important quota.

PRUSSIA•
The answer given by the Government to the ap-
plication of the Town Council of Berlin, demanding
the revocation of the state of siege, is that the request
cannot be taken into consideration.
As the Headship of the German Empire is not
to be hereditary, it will not be accepted by the King
of PRUSSIA. The Cologne Gazette says :
" We rejoice to be able to state that the report cir-
' culated, that it was the intention of Prussia to address a
circular-note to the different Governments of Germany
respecting the German Constitution, is confirmed. Al-
though it is not yet in our power to give the precise
wording of this note, still we can state, on good authority,
that it could not have been in terms more favourable to
the proposed German Constitution."

the plenipotentiaries of the German states. The mem-
bers of the Council of the Empire are appointed by the
Governments of the states in question.
Sec. 2. The Council of the Empire forms a deliberative
college (literally, a college for giving opinions). It as-
sembles at the seat of the Imperial Government. The
plenipotentiary of the largest German state, whose Re-
gent is not the supreme head of the Empire, presides in
the council.
Sec. 3. The resolutions of the Council of the Empire
are dependent on the majority of votes.
Sec. 4. The Imperial Ministers are entitled to attend
the sittings of the Imperial Council, or to cause them-
selves to be represented therein by Commissaries.
Sec. 5. The drafts of laws which the Imperial Go-
vernment wishes to bring before the Parliament are to
be submitted to the council for its opinion. The council
has always to deliver its opinion within a time to be
specified by the Imperial Government. If this period of
time be not observed, the Imperial Government is not
prevented thereby from bringing its Bill into Parliament.
Sec. 6. The Imperial Government is empowered to
take the opinion of the Imperial Council in all cues in
which it may think fit to do so.

The most atrocious cruelties are practised on the
unfortunate inhubitants of Lombardy by the savage
herds of Croats and Pandours «ho are under the
command of RADETZRY. A horrible system of
espionage has, in obedience to orders from the
Austrian camarilla,. been organized throughout the
whole of Lombardy. .A few days since a man, in
apparently an extreme state of suffering, applied for
ef t o r
his Signor m
Ru osesrio,
ua s gentleman well known in
Milan fo
charities. The applicant
an
stated that he was a Hungarian, that he was
suffering from illness and destitution,- and that he was
anxious to return to his own country. Rossi relieved
his wants, and the miscreant, who was a Government
spy, immediately caused Rossi to be arrested and
conveyed to pawn on a charge of having aided a
Hungarian to escape. Itosqs wife went at once to the
military commandant of Milan to beg the release
of her husband, and was assured that he would not
be long detained in the prison. On quitting the pre-
sence of the commandant she met her unfortunate
husband, guarded by soldiers, going to execution,
and he was shut immediately afterwards. Rossi
leaves a widow and family of seven children.
Another execution, of a still more atrocious
character, took place shortly afterwards. Dr. Macau
of Milan had a son, who, on the entry of RADETSKY
into Milan in August last, emigrated to Piedmont.
Some time since a decree of the EMPEROR recalling
the emigrants was published in Milan. The Doctor
sought the governor of the city, and asked if his son
had really a right to return. The governor handed
the Doctor the Imperial decree, desired him to read
it, and added, " Trust in the word of the EMPEROR,
Your son will run no risk by arriving here." The
father wrote to the son to hasten his return. He did
return, was arrested, and within twelve hours of his
arrival at Milan was shot.
The .Reforine of Lucca states, that on the 9th the
Spanish Ambassador officially notified to the Tuscan
Government the intention of Spain to intervene with
a military force in favour of the POPE. Piedmont
and Tuscany have both protested against this inter-
vention.

TURKE Y.
Accounts have been received from Constantinople
to the 31 instant. The Wallachian Government had
repealed its recent decree prohibiting the exportation
of corn. The English tt?amer Tagus, and the two
Austrian steamers supplced to have been lost in the
Black Sea, have arrived at Constantinopl. They had
been detained by storms at Sinope. The harbour of
Odessa is frozen over.

FRANCE.

The National of Sunday gives the following account
of the arrest of the officers of the Garde Mobile :

" On Saturday General Changarnier summoned the
commanding officer of the 25 battalions of the Garde
Mobile to the Tuileries, to explain to them the mea
sums about to be adopted with respect to a reduction
'of their corps. After some observations relative to the
superior claims of the regular troops, he said, ' I am
told that the Garde Mobile are dissatisfied, and that they
propose to meet to-morrow in the Champs Elysees. Let
them take care, if they stir I 'rill have them sabred.
After some moments, clitring which the officers ob-
served the most profound silence, General Changarnier
'ordered four of the chiefs to be confined in the military
prison of the Abbaye for one month. This order produced
some remonstrances on the part of the officers, when the
General rang a bell, and a detachment of gendarmerie
entered the room, and seized the officers--one. of them,
M. Alderige, who had joined Prince Louis
.Napoleon
when he landed at Boulonge, instantly drew his sword,
broke it, and declared that he bad entered the service as
a volunteer, that he would resign, and that, being no
longer restrained by military discipline he would express
himself in strong language on the conduct of the Ge-
m,_,ral. He was foTthwith sent off under a military escort
to the Abbey°, and, in the course of the evening,
four other Commandants, MM. Duseigneur, Arrigh,
Bussac, and Cameru, were arrested and committed to
the same prison."
The Journal du Peuple announces that it was seized
again on Saturday. It publishes an address to the
people, beseeching them to abstain for the present
from all species of manifestation, to avoid collecting in
crowds, but to suffer their representatives to continue
the course, they have commenced. It tells them that
the safety of the people and of the Republic depends
in their obedience.

'Precautions were taken on Saturday to prevent
any disturbance on the re-appearance of M. Lhermi-
nier in his hall in the College of France. Troops
were stationed in one of the courts of the college and
in the neighbourhood, and patrols of cavalry were in
the Place de Cambrai and the Rue St. Jacques. In
the interior of the college a commissary of police
and eighty agents were ready to take into custody
those who should attempt a disturbance. While the
professor delivered his lecture a few students at-
tempted to interrupt him, but they were seized and
expelled. The lecture was continued without further
disturbance.

It was rumoured in Paris on Sunday, that M. Lher-
minier had resigned his professorship. Other ac-
counts stated that the Minister had dismissed him.
Certain it is, that he is no longer a professor of the
College of France.

BRUSSELS, JAI'. 27.—1 t is the intention of the
Government to place the Palace of the Prince of

to take part at the conferences at Brussels for the set-

Preparations have been commenced within the last

the furniture borrowed from the Palace of Terveursn.
It does not appear that Austria has yet officially

PRUSSIA.

The answer given by the Government to the ap-
plication of the Town Council of Berlin, demanding
the revocation of the state of siege, is that the request
cannot be tgken into consideration.
As the Headship of the German Empire is not
to be hereditary, it will not be accepted by the King
of PRUASIA. The Cologne Gazette says :
" We rejoice to be able to state that the report cir-
culated, that it was the intention of Prussia to address a
circular-note to the different Governments of Germany
resnecting the German Constitution, confirmed. Al-
though it is not yet in our power to give the precise
wording of this note, still we can state, on good authority,
that it could not have been in terms more favourable to
the proposed German Constitution."

possible to do more that day than merely open the ill;
quiry. The deceased was supposed to have died fr°o

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

On Saturday evening the opera of the Sonnambula
Was repeated with Jenny Lind as Amina, and Cal-
zulari as Elvino. Jenny Lind was, if possible,
more astonishing than ever, never has even
she excited so intense a furore as sin
did on Saturday; the applause was more than enthu.
Mastic—it was a roar of delight and admiration, and
the stage at the close resembled a beautiful parterre,
80 many were the roseate offerings made to the
Nightingale. Her Majesty, who was present, fre-
quently applauded in the most marred man-
ner. Calzolari mpre than redeemed the pro-
mise of his first appearance—never has any tenor
achieved a success so rapid, so triumphant, so de-
served. The emsar of song, Veni, vidi, vici should be
his motto—he has sang twice, and has taken his
rank as the first Italian tenor of the day.

LADY ALICE ; or, the New Una. 3 Vas,

We sympathise deeply with the anxiety naturally
felt by the novel-writer to find some new subject for
his pen. Now-a days, when there are almost as many
novel-writers as novel .readers, the difficulty must be
almost insurmountable. The author of " Lady
Alice" has, however, hit upon a rather unusual expe-
dient. He tells us boldly in his preface that he does
not aim at beingf natural—a very unnecessary piece
of information to any one who may peruse his pages.
We will not proceed to discuss the various interesting
or uninteresting scenes and characters of " Lady
Alice," the tout ensemble of the novel is
brilliant and amusing, we admit, but on
this point we take our stand :—Should or
should not a work of fiction bear the sem-
blance of reality ? Here we beg to differ from the
author of " Lady Alice." To give a literal narrative
of common-place events would, we allow, be a some-
hat low aim for a man of genius ; on thew contrary,
we agree with this writer in his high estimate of the
ideal excellence which should be the object of the
true artist. But, his error lies in the notion that
the real and the ideal are contradictory terms. There
is a chapter in " Zanoni" (if we mistake not) which
treats of the nice distinction between these terms,
and we recommend its perusal to the author of "Llcly
Alice." Let him bear in mind that the ideal is not a
contradiction to, but an improvement on, the real;
for example, how did the artists of Greece produce
those ideal perfections which posterity still contem-
plates with " admiring de,pair ?" It is well known
that they made use of real models—they copied the
excellences of a hundred different beauties—the brow
of one, the lip of another, the smile of a third. When
the statue was completed, its glorious beauty had no
earthly prototype, yet who should dare to call it un-
il It as reality ideali,ed. And so it should
thebe iii w
\.\stohnear

prfections, that we may admire and
imitate--let
