A Reduction of 60 per C— ...LEET, LONDON.
miums was declared 0- ou the current Annual Pre-
the First all Policies entitled to participation at
1840, aft- Division of Profits of. the. Society, in May,
m," r making an ample reserve, ascertained by a complete
....tiematical investigation of its als,ts and liabilities.
The continued prosperity of the Society enabled it to de-
clare a similar reduction at the Second Period of Division, in.
May of the present year.
This system of an annual reduction of premiure, according
to the Profits of the Society duly ascertained, gives to the As-
sured all the advantages of original low rates, while it avoids
the evil of endangering the ability duly to discharge the pay-
ment of the sum guaranteed by the policy.

Mr. MET'; stated that if trade continued in the pre-
sent depressed condition, it was calculated that, by the
end of next week, 300 weavers, who had work at present,
would be thrown out of employment.
Mr. STIRRAT stated that the applications for relief last
week had increased at the rate of 60 a-day.
Dr. BURNS entered into a statement to show the gra-
dual breaking down of the people from the want of em-
ployment First, the careless and indifferent applied for
relief, followed by a better class. There was a third
class, who had not yet applied, having probably some-
thing to fallback upon, and there was a large body of
respectable and industrious females out of employment
that would never think of coming here to ask supply.
He thought there could not he less than four or the
thousand people, including children, that were really in
need of supply.
A report was read from Johnstone' which statod that
there were 120 families, comprising 360 individuals, re-
ceiving relief. The average income of each family was
Is, 6d. per week. The above destitution arises princi-
pally from the stoppage of cotton manufactories. A num-
ber of judicious measures were adopted to collect funds
for the relief of the distressed, and a deputation Was
immediately-dispatched to London, to solicit the heads
of her Majesty's Government for their aid and patron-
age to a subscription ; and also to apply t 2 the London
Relief Committee, and generally to proehre contribu-
tions in the metropolis, and elsewhere in England, for
relief of the distressed operatives of this town and county.

The following are a few of the nurterous testimonials this
popular work has received, hba which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published :
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and
even bad books. With the force Of this prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much portesal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the tiummon stamp. The scientific views taken by the
authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from this work in proof of our assertion would
be departing front the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful rerusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
spill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England.
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the
few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able.—Msgnet.
The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood,"
has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the
never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We
strongly recommend the work.—Age.
The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex-
tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been
induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent
friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita-
tion in sating that we arise from its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those
diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set
down by the every-day observer as the result of common
causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe-
rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre-
nielyt satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs.

• WOOLWICH, OCT. la.
ROYAL ARSENAL.
Major-General Sir John May, K.C.B. and K.C.H.,
has resigned the office of Inspector of the Royal Carriage
Department in the Arsenal at N'Voolwith, Which ho filled
with the greatest public satisfaction during the last nine
years, having been appointed to it in 1832. On the re,--
tirement of this brave officer from active employment the
following account of his long services will be read with
interest :—Sir John May entered the Royal Military
Academy on the 3d of February, 1704, as a gentleman
cadet, and was appointed to a commission in the Royal
Engineers on the 6th of March, 1795. He was employed
afloat in bomb service from the let of December, 179?,
to the 16th of April, 1801, and was • present in the
engagement at Copenhagen in 1107. From the
18th of January, 1809, to the 26th of June;
1814, he served in the Peninsula)_ and in France,
and was present at the battles of Talavera, I3usace,
and Fuentes d'Onor, and the sieges of 'Ciudad Rodrigo
and Badajos, and the siege of the forte' and battle of Sala•
mance, the battle of Vittoria, the siege of Snil Sebastian)
the passages of the Bidassoa, Nivelles, and hive ; at the
battle of Toulouse, and at numerous skirmishes during
that long war. After the short peace of 1814 he accom-
panied the troops to the Continent, and was present at
Quatro Bras and Waterloo, and at the capture of Paris.
Sir John received two musket balls through the left
thigh when charging the French rear-guard on thomorn-
ing after the battle of Salamanca, and a violent contusion
at Vittoria. His decorations as a reward - for his ser-
vices are a medal and three clasps. Sir John May was
raised to the rank of Major-General on the 28th of
June, 1838.

THE STRIKE OF MASONS.--About 180 mon
are now at work at the new Houses •of Parliament. On
some' of them leaving at twelve o'clock yesterday, they
were hissed—the greater portion of them have their
dinners on the premises. Au Inspector and several men
of ,the B division are on duty at the entrance of the
works to prevent the men from being interfered with on
leaving work. By the strike upwards of 1,000 persons
(including the wives and families of the men) are affected,
and it is sincerely hoped that some amicable arrange-
ment may be speedily coma to. There are upwards of
20,000 moons, 15,009 of whom belong to the Union.

OVERFLOW OF THE THAMES.

One of the hitthest tides for many years, took place yes-
t n-dayafterneon, about an hour or more before high water,
half-past four o'clock, caused by the violent (*ale of last
night and this morning, end the great fall of rain in the
interior of the country. The river was in full flood, and
must have overflowed its banks for many miles, if
we may judge from the appearance in the me-
tropolis. Oa the Surrey side the streets along the
river were covered with water, and some of them
close to the banks, such as Pedlar's acre, and the .streets
in continuation of it to the east, were impassable, the
water in many places being several feet deep. In Can-
non-row,- Westminster, the scene was the same. The
water rushed with great force, not only into the cellars,
but the ground floor. The Gazette office, and all
the houses in that locality, were o m
cpMely flooded.
At Westminster Bridge great crowds collected to wit-
ness the scene. The piers on which the arches rest
ettra completely immersed ; the water was within about
half a foot of the terrace in front of the new Houses of
Parliament ; and at Hungerford-market it flowed fully
half way up the wharf. A vast destruction of property
all along- the banks must have bleu caused by this ex-
traordinary And unexpected event.

On Tuesday last a consiaerable degree of ex-
citement was Caused in the family of a gentlenisn of pro-
perty, residing in the vicinity of the liqgeware-road, in
consequence of the veil sudden and mysterious disap-
pearance tif a young lady find a female . servant froth the

days Wiggins . ettrted himself. to the 11ttnost,
and at length obtained some inforreatiOti, which in-
duced him, on Friday morning, to station himself within
üblic-house. in shepherd-street, Oxford:street, when,
after waiting foil some hours, a cab wae'''diiven up to a
a p
house opposite. Two young females alighted - and en-
tered that house, and almost at the same .moment the
inspector followed them ; he found • thenv to be. the
identice,l persons lie was looking for, and they -eere then
in the Company of a young man, a Cambridge, student,
who had been waiting there to receive them. The in-
spector mentioned the nature of Ills he,iheas, and
ultimatel,y prevailed , upon bpth of them to get into
a coach which ,h,t had called Off the stand, and they
were then n drive back to the Ipansien from which they
'tad absconded. ' Tiy Young man, who it is said first
became'acquainted with the girl T while sitting in a box
with her at Covent-garden Theatre, . shortly afterwards
quitted' the house in Shepherd-street, and from that
time to the present nothing more has been heard of him.
The young lady, whose areuts- reside in Ilunting,clon-
shire, is, it is said, heiress to a large property, and she
was on a visit to her London friends, who, when the
jespeew delivered her into their hands, presented him
with 5/. for his trouble. In the notice which was sent
round to .the diiierent stations neither the- name of the
foolish girl re,• Cle adCress of her fiends was given.

PRICE 5d

the ,sbject which the Committee had in view in soliciting
this i„srview with his Lordship, was to express the
hope of the' Committee that the same assistance which
had for some time past been afforded by the British Go-
vernment in se,"_porting the claims of the -Bondholders
nish American States
on the several Spa. would be con-
tinued by the Government which had recently acceded
to office. Mr. Robb:see' stated distinctly that the Com-
mittee could not for a morasent entertain a doubt upon the
subject, but that as the amoue't involved in these several
claims was very large, and the partiee concerned therein
very numerous, the Committee had felt that it would be
a satisfaction to them to be assured of els continued aid
and support of her Majesty's Government.
Lord Aberdeen, after remarking, but in a very cour-
teous manner, that he thought the present applicatiost
somewhat superfluous, aesured the deputation, in the
most unequivocal terms, that the present Government
would relax no efforts with the States in question to sus-
tain the just claims of the bondholders, and that when-
ever any special case should arise in which the aid of
the British Government might be required, the Com-
mittee had only to apply to him, and their representa-
tions should receive immediate attention.
The Committee of Spanish American bondholders
have done their constituents good service by waiting
upon Lord Aberdeen, and telling his Lordship plainly
that they fully rely on his welking in the footsteps of
Lord Palmerston, because his Lordship was the means of
obtaining a settlement from the Chilian, Mexican, and
Venezuelan Governments ; and his instructions to our
consular representatives only. require to be rigidly en-
forced in order to secure justice to the English creditors
of foreign States.
The committees of Spanish and Portuguese bond-
holders will fail in their duty to those whose interests
are confided to their charge, if they do sot imitate the
example Set them by the South American Committee,
and also wait. upon Lord Aberdeen, for the purpose of
obtaining an assurance that he will act in accordance
with the views of Lord rateeerston, and afford them the
same efficient assistance in the advancement of their
claites upon the debtor states. Knowing the sympathy
which the Tory Government has always felt for Carlism
in Spain, the committee of Spanish bondholders have
good grounds for soliciting an interview with his Lord-
ship, under existing circumstances, to obtain a direct
assurance that every support will be afforded to the Re-
gent Espartero in maintaining his Government and in
suppressing the insurrection in the Basque provinces.
LIMES.—A fact connected with the assignment of
the list of the assets of the United States Bank, which
took place some monks ago, is commented on with
great indignation by some of the American papers.
The assignees, in collecting the assets, refused to receive
the notes of the Bank in payment, to the manifest detri-
ment of the note-holders. 1:;:e Bank, being bound to
take its notes in payment of the debts due to it, the as-
signment of its claims to a third pere(2n is regarded as a
paltry evasion. This is but one of the .many instances
of the opprobrium which the United State's Bank has
encountered, and of which fresh instances transpire °n
almost every arrival. In a letter from Phila. elphia,
which is published in a New York paper, the folloe.7ing
description of the effects of the failure is contained :
" Persons at a distance can hardly conceive the extent
of private distress which the failure of the United States '
Bank has occasioned. A continued gloom seems to have
settled upon the faces of a large portion of the inhabit-
ants. In almost all the circles in which you visit, you
hear of some poignant instance of suffering—of wealthy
families suddenly reduced to poverty, of widows who
have lost their all, of orphans stripped of the patrimony
which a long life of labour and economy on the part of
their parents had collected for them, of merchants com-
pelled by diminished means to relinquish their houses,
and move out of town, and of labourers. robbed of the
hard• earned savings of many years. Indeed, the details
are melancholy ; the usual gaieties of society seem to be
arrested ; and but for the absence of the customary
symbols of mourning, one would be disposed to think
that the whole city had experienced a great loss, that
. some calamity had visited it, that a pestilence had car-
ried off its people, or that some great good man, univer-
sally beloved, had been taken away by death. Such is
the general expression of sadness that you see every-
where. It is not difficult to realise the descriptions
which historians have given of the condition of France
' after the notorious banking bubbles of John Law had
. exploded."
