DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.

By the plan exclusively developed by this Society, a single
Deferred Annuity is made, nGt only to answer the same object,
but to far exceed in amount the entire benefit of all the ad-
vantages heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious
classes through separate investments in Savings' Banks, Be-
nefit Societies, and Loan Banks.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and 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 perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common 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 the work in proof of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
skill 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.—Magnet.

THE APERITIVE FOUNTAIN procures
in a, few minutes a passage of the bowels merely with a
little water, which ought to induce those who are in the habit
of taking purgatives to relinquish a practice that eventually
produces mo• e mischiof than even costiveness itself. This
little apparatus is superior to all lavement machines, inasmuch
as it introduces no air, never requires any adjusting, may be
concealed (when filled): in a lady's reticule or a gentleman's
pocket, and is so simple that the most nervous or timid may
manage it easily. EAR ASSISTANTS to the deaf, produc-
ing such a variety of effects, that deafness of all shades finds
the aid which exactly relieves the affliction, and by this means

FAST COWES PARK.-BUILDING
A GROUND-160 Acres, a southern aspect completely
sheltered from the E., N.E., N., and N. W. winds by the higher
grounds of Osborn Palk, East Cowes and Norris Castles, and
the Promontory of West Cowes. This charming retreat will
be laid out with a view to its becoming the residence of fami-
lies of the highest rank. Its noble roads, groves, and prome-
nades, esplanade on the east bank of Cowes Harbour, and
pleasure grounds of forty acres in the European and Oriental
styles, adorned with fountains, statues, seats, and bowers, will
complete a scene of delicious seclusion and surpassing loveli-
ness, protected by lodge-gates and keepers against offensive
intrusion. The price of a plot 100 ft. frontage by 300 ft. in
depth, opening into the public gardens, will be only 3001., or
four plots for 1,0001. After 50 have been sold, the price of
the remaining number will be raised to 6001. and 1,0001. each.

WILLIAM MORRISON, Chairman.
Philosophical Hall, Paisley, Aug. 12, 1841.
At Paisley, and within the Philosophical Hall there,
the 10th day of August, 1841 years.
At a numerous meeting of the unemployed opera-
tives of Paisley, and principally those who have been
for some time working in the Town's Quarry, at Seed-
hill, and at other out-door labour, and who are paid out
of the Relief Fund,—Mr. Wm. MORRISON in the Chair.

• The Meeting having been convened for the purpose of
taking into consideration the expediency of emigrating
to Port Philip or SYtney—free passages -, ~aving been of-
fered-to all eligible parties by one or other-4 the bounty
ships to sail from the Clyde during the present and en-
suing months of September and October, provided the
parties can procure adequate clothing, or outfits for the
voyage—the following resolutions were adopted :
First—That from the embarrassed state of trade and
manufactures in the town of Paisley, and throughout the
country generally, the meeting see no probability of a
return of employment—at least for a long time—where-
by they might be enabled to earn an adequate subsist-
ence for themselves, and wives, and children; and, there-
fore, that rather than remain at home dependent on the
charity of others, in the shape of subscriptions and as-
sessments for relief of the unemployed, it is infinitely bet-
ter for all concerned that they should transfer their in-
dustry to one or other of the above mentioned Colonies,
where there is a great demand for labour, and where the
services of labouring men are consequently better re-
warded than at home.
Second—That the meeting avail themselves of the
opportunity of obtaining free passages by one or other
of the bounty ships which will sail from the Clyde during
the present season,and that they use every exertion to for-
ward the necessary Certificates, on or before the Ist Sep-
tember next, after which time the Colonial Land and
Einigration) Commissioners have intimated no applica-
tions or certificates will be registered or received.
Third—That it is necessary that each emigrant be
provided with proper clothing for the voyage. But as,
from the long period of want of employment and poverty
into which the-unemployed operatives of Paisley have
been thrown—their best clothing having been either
sold or pawned—it is impossible that the parties can
clothe themselves at their own expense, or from their
own resources, and that an appeal be made therefore to
her Majesty the Queen, to her Majesty's Government,
and to Lord Melbourne and the other individual mem-
bers of tlie Cabinet, and to the noble and wealthy of the
land, in the hope that they will regard the resolution of
the meeting as a praiseworthy attempt on their part to
lift themselves from a state of poverty and dependence,
to one in which they will be enabled to earn an honest
and independent subsistence, and at the same time, free
their native country from the burden of supporting them,
while they will contribute to the extension of her
Majesty's colonial empire, and to the glory of her reign,
which like that of her-illustrious predecessor, Elizabeth,
will be promoted by giving encouragement to all measures
of emigration and colonization.

Fourth—That this appeal to her Majesty and the
Government is necessary, because, from the numerous
bankruptcies and• insolvencies which haie happened in
the town, and the depressed state in which the town and
neighbourhood are—anything like a local appeal for
assistance would be quite in vain. The meeting under-
stand that the Committee having the management of
the Relief Fund, have resolved on making an appeal to
the nation at large on behalf of their unemployed towns-
men, but the meeting are respectfully of opinion that it
is much better that any assistance should be extended
to them in the way they now ask, in respect the commu-
ttitT.willbe
for this purpose Atiiingthetfigiiiiik winier woad liire-SC:
teed what is requisite for clothing them for the voyage
to Port Philip or Sydney.
Fifth—That at the lowest computation it will take 41.
per head to clothe the intending emigrants, and counting
them at 250 as the complement of one ship, the sum of
1,000/. will therefore be required for the clothing and
outfit.
Sixth—That Mr. Hastie, M.P. for Paisley,Mr. Patrick
Maxwell Stewart, M.P. for the county, and the Hon.
Viscount Kelburne, M.P. for Ayrshire, be respectfully
requested to use their influence in support of the views of
the meeting, and that the following Committee be ap-
pointed to correspond with them, and prepare addresses
to her Majesty, and to Lord Melbourne, and the other
members of her Majesty's Government, viz.—
WILLIAM MORRISON, Chairman.
ALEXANDER CHISHOLM,
JAMES MACINTOSH,
PETER MACINTOSH,
DANIEL CAMPBELL,
ANDREW WEIR. "
Seventh—That it be intimated in the applications for
subscriptions, that all sums subscribed be transmitted to.
John Scott, Esq., Banker, Paisley, who, along with Pro-
vost Bisset, will take care of the money, and see ,to its
proper application:
Eighth—That the Chairman subscribe all communica-;
tions on.behalf of the Meeting, or thosewho are enrolled
for free passages, under the direction of the Committee,
who shalt see that none be enrolled unless properly
qualified. WILLIAM MORRISON, Chairman.
