ititPLY OF ALFREIi TENNYSON, ESQ.
THE NEW POET LAUREATE.
Mosaic Bard ! your lines, addressed to me,
Were not unwelcome lines—how could they he
feel quite proud, in fact, that one like you
Should notice me—upon my word I do
Nor would I let this first occasion slip,
Of warmly thanking such a brother "chip.
1 do not wonder at your feeling " nettled,"
~,
finding how the " Laureateship" is settled.
when first you heard of what I'm now enjoying,
The disappointment must have been annoying.
The wonder is that you so calmly met it,
When: every one expected "yon" to get it ;
' get the berth, I mean, of Laureate Bard,
The lo.s of which you seem to take so hard.
Ilut, really, what with one thing and another,
were far more honoured than your laurelled brother.
Think for a moment, cousin, what you are—
The muss of MOSES, that commercial star.
Proud would your brother be if he could jump
Prom his appointed " post" to Aldgate pump.
The " c'oth" of MOSES (understand the phrase)
would please me quite as much as my "green bays."
Should MOSES, as you've hinted, change his muse,
And let me pop into your honour's shoes,
Ciood service to the dress I'll strive to do,
Althelegh I know I can't come up to you ;
And oft shall MOSES have a rhyming benison,
1,11 From your exalted brother, ALFRED TENNYSON.

(IATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY,
It, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claim* have arisen front deaths in Engine,.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other tor 2801.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1449, and
the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,963/. 2s. 6d.:
of these 12 comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assuran'es were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. lid.
since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. lls. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbish ,p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks toe Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prosrects.

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
Price is. l4d. per box.
This excellent Family is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for
correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, the common
symptoms of which are costiveness, fiitulency, spasms, loss of appe-
tite, sick headache, giddiness, sense of fulness after meals, dizziness
of the eyes, drowsiness, and pains in the stomach and bowels, : indi-
gestion, producing a torpid state of the liver, and a consequent inac-
tivity of the bowels, causing a disorganisation of every function of
the frame, will, in this mast excellent preparation, by a little perse-
verance, be effectually removed. Two or three daces will convince
the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain
its strength ; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will
rapidly take place ; and instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaun-
diced appearance, strength, activity, and, renewed health will be the
quick result of taking this" medicine, according to the directions ac-
companying each box.
As a pleasant, safe, easy apperient, they unite the recommenda-
tion of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require
no restraint of diet or confinement during their use ; and for elderly
people they will be found to be the most comfortable medicine hi-

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
ortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vioious habits, while suffering from their invariable co-
n-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee an

ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
