On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS.
(An Essay for 1846.)
" Of human ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."
3.
WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.

Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health frill threescore years and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of
very delicate import, as thehrtitles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea-
ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms ou which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our ow-n keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations.

The author's justification for. this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.
To be had of ,-herwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalho, 147,
Fleet-street ; Hannay, 63, Ostord• street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; or
direct from the Author, 21, Arundel-street, Strand, who may be ad-
vised personally on these matters daily till Three, and in the Ever -
ngs from Seven till Nine.

The division of profits is annual, and the next will be made in
December of the present year.

In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a BOnus was declared in June
1829, exceeding one per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an
average of the different Ages ; and two subsequent divisions of nearly
equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842.
On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added
to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to
about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those
seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three
Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001.
Loans granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each ease a value not under 501.

In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
on the 4th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1844, and the same
is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),
between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and
also by the Agents in the Country Districts.
Notice is hereby given, that assurances which expire at Midsum-
mer Day must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or
with Mr. Sams, 1, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall; or with

LILLE, JUNE 14, 11 o'cLocK, having been

station. The Prefect of the Seine, Count Rambuteau,ll.
Cunin Gridaine, [the Minister of Commerce, the Prince de
Ligne, the Belgian Minister, a great number of members of

Commerce, most of the administrators of the different rail.
way companies, capitalists, stockbrokers, and journalists, took
their seats in the first train, which left at quarter past six
o'clock. Although between 700 and 800 passengers were
assembled in the debat cadere, the service was so well orga-
nised, and the precautions adopted by M. Pereire and the
commissaries of the ceremonies were so efficient, that no con-
fusion took place._ Files of Municipal Guards were drawn at
certain distances across the passage, and prevented a rush
towards the waggons. Only one act of insubordination was
committed, and that by Admiral Rosamel, who, having
forced the consigne of the Guards, was enzpoigne" by the
Municipal Guards, and lost his seat in the first train. The
second train, conveying about the same number of passen-
gers, departed at seven o'clock.
The Dukes de Nemours and Montpensier had left at four
o'clock P.M. on Saturday, for Amiens.
Our train soon entered the plain of St. Denis, after pass-
ing through a short tunnel, running under the external
Boulevard, and the only subterraneous gallery of the
whole line.

The station of St. Denis, which rises considerably over the
neighbouring plain, presents a beautiful view of the environs
of Paris, bounded on one side by the heights of Montmartre,
the Batignoles, and St. Chaumont, and farther on by Mont
Valerien and its citadel, and the range of hills of Marly and
St. Germain-en-Laye.
On leaving the station of St. Denis, we passed close to
Fort la Briche, and entered the valley of Montmorency, the
favourite resort of the Parisians, over which are scattered
innumerable country seats and chateaux, which greatly add
to the natural beauty of the country. The most remarkable
villages of that charming valley are, to the left, Sannois,
St. Gratien, and Franconville, and on the right, at the
bottom of the valley, St. Leu Tavernv, Ermont, and Le
Plessis Bouchard. The road then runs through a deep
trench, cut in the solid rock, and enters the valley of the
Oise close to the ancient abbey of Maubuisson, some
turrets of which are still standing. We next reached
Pontoise, which is partly built on a cliff or steep rock,
surmounted by the church of St. Maclou. At a small dis-
tance from that town the road crosses the Oise, over a bridge
of three arches. The country is highly variegated and fer-
tile, and the village of L'lle Adam, with its delightful coun-
try seats and the park of the old chateau, is not one of its
least ornaments. After L'lle Adam the aspect of the coun-
try changes—to the right extend high hills, and to the
left an immense plain, covered with villages, corn fields, and
orchards.
We next descried Beaumont, rising as an amphitheatre,
on the side of a hill, washed by the Oise, at the distance of
about half a mile. The scenery afterwards is not remark-
able as faros Creil, where the St. Quentin branch is to unite
with the northern line. Beyond that town we took leave of
the Oise, and crossed the village of Nogent-les-Vierges, and
a succession of beautiful plantations, passing occasionally
through cuttings or on high embankments, until we arrived
at the Liancourt station. We here stopped a moment to ad-
mire the chateau, its water-works,imd the manificent park.
Between Liancourt and Clermont there is nothing worthy of
notice, and beyond the latter the country becomes naked and
almost barren, and the road passed over the highest table
land of Picardy, where a distant village here and there
catches the eye. At Quinquempoix the road reaches its
greatest elevation, it being the point of separation of the
valleys of the Oise and Somme.
After passing the station of Breteuil, and the villages of
Mesnil St. Firmin, Tartigny, Paillart, and Folleville, where
commences the longest trench of the road, we entered into a
country diversified with hills, valleys, water-courses, and
ponds, and passed the villages of Ailly-sur-Noye, Guyen•
court, Dommartin, Cottanchy, and Boves. Between the latter
and Amiens the country is bare and flat, presenting an almost
continual succession of bogs and marshes.
_ .

The country beyond Amiens presents nearly the same ap-
pearance as on the Paris side. Beyond Corbie, green hills
extend to the right and left, and the road crosses the Somme
three times in a distance of six miles. At La Neuville com-
mence the great Pampa', by means of which the road passes
over the elevated ground which separates the valley of the
Somme from that of the Scarpe and Deule. The view here
is extremely monotonous. The road occasionally runs
through deep trenches, but as we approached Arras the coun-
try, irrigated by the waters of the Scarpe, assumed a more
pleasing and varied aspect. The Princes had just left Arras
as we arrived there.

Arras is the first regular fortress which we met en the
way ; but, although the advanced works, fosses, drawbridges,
and narrow gates have been preserved, its ramparts are no
longer intended for the purposes of war, having been con-
verted into green plots and delightful promenades. Between
that town and Douai the road traverses a continual plain,
highly cultivated, but dull in the extreme. The village of
Fampoux, where the branch to Calais and Dunkirk is to
commence, is situate within five miles from Arras. At seme
distance farther the road crosses the Scarpe, and enters the
Department of the North at Brebieres, and a little farther
the ramparts of Douai.

We arrived at a quarter past 4 o'clock at Lille, where the
Princes had preceded us by about 20 minutes. On alight-
ing, the Dukes de Nemours and de Montpensier were con-
ducted to a tent, erected for the occasion, under the ramparts
of the city, where they were congratulated by the civil and
military authorities. The Archbishop of Cambrai, followed
by his clergy, next harangued their Royal Highnesses, and
afterwards bestowed their benediction on the road. The
Princes then held a review of the Natonal Guard and troops,
and repaired to the Town-hall, where they received the
French and Belgian authorities.' At seven o'clock they re-
paired to the debarcadere of the railroad, accompanied by the
Ministers of Justice, Commerce, and Public Works, and pre-
sided at a most sumptuous banquet, of which between 2,000
and 3,000 persons partook. After dinner they assisted at a
Symphonic Heroique of the composition of M. Berlioz, which
was executed by the bands of the 50th Regiment of In-
fantry, of the Hussars, and Artillery; and at ten o'clock
P.M. a ball was offered to them at the Town-house.
