This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wea-thy, viz.:-
Ist. Insuring their lives in sums from 51. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age; Weea•.y
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into -Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
include&

The attention of tLe Publie is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.

Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.

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 far some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the el Binary 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,

no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of

ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-

M. Laroche and M. Noel, the Incredibles of Paris, made
their second appearance in England before a crowded au-

usual judgment. The gigantic feats of strength and won-

PRODUCTION OF THE SOIL ----....r. John k.reo-
ney, of Redenhall, lately addressed a letter to the Editor
of the Norwich Mercury, containing some sanguine opi-
nions on the possibility of increasing the productiveness
of the soil, especially in reference to wheat " From an
experience of sixteen years, the writer says, " He is con-
vinced that this country ought to be an exporting rather
than an importing country, but not until the land is
cultivated with profit. Every farmer who does snot
so cultivate land—that is to say, make the
greatest return
that the capability of this soil will admit—that although
he may say that his land has paid, it must bo quite clear to
every person that if such capability is not brought into
action, a certain loss must be sustained. If double that ca-
pital were brought into operation in agriculture the land
would be worth more, the tenant richer, the labourer
peaceful and happy, and the whole country benefited to a
degree delightful to imagine; but landlords must see that
as their lands are cultivated, tenants must only hire what
they can filFn with profit. Then, talk of a surplus popula-
tion, I do not think that we have a sufficiency of labourers,
if the land were fully cultivated."
