This Association has been funned principally with the view of af-
fording to gentlemen engaged in SOVERNMENT and PUBLIC
OFFICES, BANKING HOUSES, and MERCANTILE ESTA-
BUSH MBNTS, a safe and advantageous mode of investing a portion
of their incomes, either by way of deposit, at 71. per Cent. compound
interest, or in the purchase of freehold or leasehold residences.
'The operations of this Society will be regelated by Tables prepared
expressly for that purpose by two eminent actuaries.
the leading principles of this Society are-
1. Perfect equality of benefit between all the Members, whether
borrowers or not.
'2. Certainty in the amount of advance to which each Member
Wishing to anticipate his Shares will bo entitled at any given period
of the Society's existeace, with the means of ascertaining precisely
at any date the amount payable to retiring Members, and the value
of the Sharet of continuing Members.
Members
may pay up the whole or any portion of their subscrip-
tions for the ten years, in advance, and discount, after the rate of V.
per Cent. per annum, be allowed for the sums so paid.
Members wishing to withdraw their Subscriptions may do so after
the first year, without fine ; and. subsequently to that period com-
pound interest at the rate 4461. per Cent. per annum will be allowed
upon the sums withdrawn.
Shares may be transferred free of' stamp duties.
•Ity the plan adopted in this Society new Members entering at
ally period, and all Members taking up additional Shares, may have
loans advanced to them without paying up arrears of Subscriptions ;
and the precise amounts that will be advanced either to old or now
Members, are set forth in the Tables, a copy of which will be sup-
plied to every Member. This is manifestly far preferable to the un-
equal and objectionable system usually adopted of putting the shares
!LP to auction, and advancing the money to those who submit to the
Largest discount ; by which means the object of the Legislature,
which contemplated that each Member should derive precisely the
same advantage, is entirely frustrated.
-The monthly subscription, both to the borrowing and non-borrow-
ing Members, is precisely the same, and continues the same to the
end of the Society; borrowers are, therefore, relieved from the
baavY monthly " redemption fee," and the mutual principle is car-
ried into full operation.
No Member has any responsibility beyond the payment of his own
suircriptions. _ _ . .

A Public Meeting for affording further explanations of the objects
Of the Society and its system of operations, will be held at the Lon-
don Tavern, Blshopagate-street, on Wain/moat Evzfaxo, 26th
January instant, at Half-past Six for Seven o'clock precisely.
Prospectuses and copies of Rules may be obtained at the office of
the Society, 15, Old Broad-street.

.31 A A One half the world are desolately single, and the other
aupposher them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalonlate4 hopes em-
bitter tko latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
eompaosiag harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tletnent. Honour and justice deleaud that health should form al item

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. la order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed. in how many could
it bo traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
Pointmenta. Excesses are always Injurious ; the gift, which when
Used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital potters. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are Productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
"" or more importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every maa should
Possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
• ietim of excessive Indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or front the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of
ap-
to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
oquently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict hhn and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, al,ove all, secrecy, lava-
liably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
snedieal man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
atonal pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
