LIFE ASSURANCE. _ _ _

Besides the perfect security to the policy holder of a large
paid up capital, and accumulating funds, with moderate rates
of premium, the following is one amongst many of the advan-
tages which belong exclusively to the principles of life assu-
rance and deferred annuities originated by the Society, viz.—
Power to borrow, ( without delay, expense, or forfeiture) two-
thirds of all premiums paid upon a policy of assurance.

Premium for assuring 1001.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, nit only to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.
1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. ]2s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d. : 3941. 1 Is. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 4661. at death.
2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,
prospectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at the office of the
Society, by letter or otherwise, 26, Cornhill, London, or at
any of its Branches throughout the country.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
ALPERMANENT CURE for the TOOTH-

nerve killer, has at length effected that grand desideratum since
the creation, viz., the CURE of TOOTHACHE. Trial only
will convince you of its efficacy.

s' We, the undersigned, have been for some time making use of
Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses; the astonishing
relief t hey afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided prefer-
ence to every other kind of Lens—the clearness of the trans.sarency
brings every object very .distinct, and enables individuals to view the
most minute particle with perfect accuracy. They are particularly
pleasant by candle light, as they appear cooling to the sight, and

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the ol dinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that"there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away,
and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of
some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its
real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption,
will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine-
tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish
of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes,
&c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in
certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre-
quently than is at all suspected.
The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least
the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this
work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and
detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced
into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his
pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the' evil be checked
in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through
the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard
whereby to judge, when delir.facy of health should appear to
attack any of his young charges, what the rea: cause of such
attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in
its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once
concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which
youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the
disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if
not relinquished.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

(ATTRIBUTED BY THE " NATIONAL" TO FHE PEN OF
M. TRIERS.)
Last March the Brunow propositions were almost
accepted : General Sebastiani then proposed, under
pretext of making that negotiation more regular, call-
ing in a Turkish negotiation. In this he did right, for
it gained two months, and time was useful, to give every
one the means of reflectinc, and of becoming calm.
A new Ambassador, M. Guizot, and a new Direct-
ing Minister, M. Thiers, then made their appearance.
Those two personages in concert, acted in such a
manner as to keep off the impending danger, but which
could not keep it off for ever, especially after the in-
surrection of Lebanon.

The English Cabinet, and the Cabinets of the North,
did their utmost to induce the new representatives of
France to accede to the Brunow propositions.
What could the French Cabinet do? It was quite
impossible to abandon the Viceroy of Egypt, to consent
to the propositions tending to strip him of his posses-
sions, to make him less powerful than he was before
the battle of Nezib. Public opinion in France, and
reasonable opinion, would have most strenuously blamed
such a measure. In sticking fast to the Viceroy there
was a chance of a separation from England, but M.
Thiers had been told by every one in the two Chambers

—separate rather than make to England the sacrifice
of our evident interests. M. Thiers was even told he
was so devoted to the English that he would not know
how to oppose them. He has opposed them—he has
refused to yield to them, and now certain persons of
litle rank, it is true, and of inconsiderable number, ac-
cuse him almost for the result which has occurred.

M. Thies and M. Guizot have acted right in doing
what they have done. There were not two choices to
make. A separation was certainly better than an act
of shameful weakness.

The following is the history of the whole affair :
France was for a moment on the point of enlighten-
ing England and diverting the danger.
M. Thiers finding negotiations almost concluded,
thought he would do well to avoid the self-love of the
persons engaged, and for that purpose to profit by the
two months which General Sebastiani had contrived to
obtain. He succeeded in making the two months
three. He did nothing abruptly, he put forward no
pretension of giving success to any particular plan, but
merely showed the inconveniences of the plan prepared
in London, and hinted, though with great moderation,
that there were certain solutions that France would
peremptorily oppose.
What do you intend doing in the East? said the
French Cabinet to all the Courts. You want to deprive
the Viceroy, of his actual possession ; you want him,
after having won the battle of Nezib, which be did not
provoke, to possess less territory than he eid before.
You want to deprive Mehemet Ali of the provinces
which he will be able to organise, to restore them to the
Sultan, who will ruin his power by his vain attempts to
preserve them. You render the Ottoman weaker and
more agitated, for you weaken the vassal who may save
the empire, in behalf of the Sovereign who is alike unable
to govern and defend it. The Pacha, when satisfied

two* also, from every one. Therefore, if the welfare
of '
the Porte, be the object in viewit must be recon-
ciled with the niche, but without injuring the latter.
But (continued the French Cabinet) whatever *may
be thought on-this subject, whether opinions be favour-
able to the 'Pacha or the Sultan, what means do you
possess to conquer the Pacha, and make him accept a
treaty against his will ? Your means are insufficient, or
dangerous.

They arc insufficient, if you mean simply to blockade
him in Syria and Egypt by means of an English fleet.
Ile will remain in his ports, and then, when urged to
the utmost, he will rush on Constantinople, and set
Europe on fire.
Your means are dangerous, if an army is to be sent
into Syria or Egypt. What army would this be?
There is not an English soldier that can be disposed of.
A French soldier will never go into Egypt against the
Viceroy. The Austrians have stated aloud that they
would never have anything to 'do with such a crusade.
The Russians remain. Now will Europe consent to
see the Russians in Syria ; and will the English convey
them thither ?

These reasons, expressed with moderation, patience,
and firmness, during five months, had made a certain
effect on every cabinet, The impossibility of finding
means, neither inefficient nor dangerous, the certainty,
announced by the Cabinet of March 1, of the opposi-
tion of France to certain means, had detached every one
from the eastern question, and wishes were clearly ex-
pressed on all sides that a direct arrangement might take
place.

This direct arrangement which France, by a scruple
of loyal feeling, had not sought to effect, but which she
had rendered practicable by counselling moderation to
the Viceroy, became probable when Mehemet Ali sent
Sarni Bey to offer to restore the Turkish fleet to the
Sultan. This offer had been advised by no one, and had
emanated from the joy felt by Mehemet Ali on learning
the downfall of Khosrew.

Who would think—who would dare acknowledge in
London that this was the very moment selected by the
negotiators to give birth to a frightful complication ?
The negotiators, who had vainly attempted to effect
a reconciliation between the Sultan and the Pacha,
thought their dignity would be offended if the Sultan
and the Pacha made an arrangement without their
aid. The idea of preventing this direct arrangement
then occurred to them.

While seeking how to effect this, the news of the in-
surrection of Lebanon arrived. This was immediately
viewed as a means of coercion against Mehemet, which
had not yet been discovered, and tl:• famous London
Convention was abruptly signed.
The thought of overturning Mehemet Ali's power
in Syria, by landing on the coasts Turkish soldiers that
the Sultan does not possess, and by landing provisions
and ammunition supplied by the English, originated
from a letter written by twa English travellers.
In this, it was said, Syria will escape his grasp ; he
will then submit to the conditions that we shall im-
pose. France, it is true, will hare seceded, but it will
not last long. _

This is -the trifling foundation of so important and
dangerous a resolution.

France has separated, and has done right ; her cabi-
net has acted properly, and will be approved by France
and by the world. France is about to take up arms and
levy all the men that the law allows. Should it be re-
quisite to place our army on a war footing, the Cham-
bers would be convoked ; the Cabinet holds the ordi-
nance of convocation ready for the first danger. In the
meantime measures are taking for getting together a
large materiel, which is always an affair of difficulty and
of time. Thus prepared; France will wait, should the
Powers employ means that France in her dignity and
interest cannot admit ; she will take the world as wit-
ness of her conduct, her loyalty, and of the purity of
her motives ; she will have her banners blessed by the
God who blessed the banners of Ileums and Austerlitz ;
she will take up arms in the cause of civilisation, for ci-
vilisation is held alike on the banks of the Nile and on

those of the Seine. With a good cause and the arms of
France, there is some chance of success, for victory fol-
lowed her banner for 30 years.
Should the means employed be such as France has
neither right nor interest to prevent, she will remain in
observation, and what will then take place ?
A result
for which it was not worth while to brave such peril, for
the Viceroy, against whom nothing serious shall have
been done, will terminate sooner or later the insurrection
in Syria ; and then what will be attempted ? It will then
be necessary to return to the starting point, that is, to
say, to the situation which the French Cabinet has al-
ways defined thus :
with respect to the
Inefficient and danmerous means,
Viceroy. Consequently it will become necessary to
treat with hini on equitable and reasonable bases.
