By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
zure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
it his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
leath ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
al forfeiture from inability to continusrpremiums, besides affording
en ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of hie payments will be returned to his representatives.
Tke following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

The Gutta Percha Company' hav the pU a
edge the receipt of the following Testimonials :
(COPY.)

" Stirling, January 25, 1850.
" I have great pleasure in informing you that I had a trial to-day
of the 1%-inch gutta peroha tube I had from you in December last,
in prestnce of a Committee of the Town Council, who were highly
pleased with the experiment, and have resolved to have 400 feet of
the same far attaching to our fire-plugs for extinguishing fires, and
watering the streets in dry weather. lam of opinlon that no mate-
although our Pressure is perhaps the greatest in the kingdom, being
upwards of 450 feet, not the slightest effect could be discovered on
the tube or joints, while the same pressure on our leather hose sends
the rivets in all directions.—I am, your obedient Servant,
"ANDREW ROBERTSON."
From JOHN TAYLOR GORDON, It sq.' M.D. (heretofore Physician
to his late MAJESTY and 11.R.H, the Duke of Cambridge, but
now retired).

(CorT,)
" 34, Somerset-street, Portman-square, London,
" April 10, 1850.

" Gentlemen,—Without reference to tire variety of useful and or-
namental purposes to which gutta percha is adapted, I consider it in
a'sanitary point of view to be a most fortunate and important dis-
covery. I have already (from a sole regard to the public benefit)
certified my decided approval of it for the under soles of shoes, and I
have only to add that I find it equally well applied to walking or dress
shoes and boots by your agents. As the supply of pure water is so es-
sential to health, and leaden pipes and cisterns are so objectionable,
I cannot too highly recommend the gutta percha for tubing and
lining.

" I am, gentlemen, your humble servant,
" J. TAYLOR GORDON."
(The above is the second voluntary testimonial).
FROM DR. MURRAY, OF fIULL.
(Corr.)
" Portland-place, Hull, March 28. 1850.
" Gentlemen,—lt is impossible to conceive of anything more in-
jurious and destructive to the health of the community than the use
ofleaden pipes for the conveyance of water. The poisonous salts of
lead thereby communicated are most insiduoui and subtile. I hail
with gratitude the substitution of gutta percha tubing. I have had
the leaden pipe of my own house removed and supplied by one of
gutta percha.
" I am, respectfully, Gentlemen, your obedient serant,
NURRAY,v Pn. D."
In consequence of improved machinery, whereby a continuous
supply of gutta percha is maintained, the Gutta Percha Company are
enabled to supply the tubing in much greater lengths than formerly.

We, the undersigned Members of the Musical Profession, having
carefully examined the Royal Piano-Fortes manufactured by Messrs.
D'ALMAINE and Co., have great pleasure in bearing testimony
to their merits and capabilities. It appears to us impossible to pro-
duce Instruments of the same size, possessing a richer and finer tone,
snore elastic touch, or more equal temperament, while the elegance
of their construction renders them a handsome ornament for the
library, boudoir, or drawing-room.

burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member
of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c.
This work contains an accurate and (template account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering front their invariable con-
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. LAIIERT has taken the highest
medicalhonours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference slmost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE ANCHORAGE AT THE DARDANELLES.
Upon the principle of "no political party feeling in
the navy," and fair play to all, we give insertion to the
following letter with reference to the ostensible motives
of Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker for entering the
Dardanelles, and which motives have been impugned in
the recent debate on our foreign policy. We have
always heard that the changes in the wind are so sud-
den in the Levant, that ships are frequently placed in
the utmost danger thereby; and many men-of-war have
been lust there fur want of due precaution; and we have
heard it contended that the Commander-in-Chief could
not with safety continue in Basikha Bay, and his only
alternatives wet e to shift his anchorage nearer Constan-
tinople, where his services were likely to be most wanted,
or farther from the Dardanelles, where he would be be-
yond that speedy communication with Constantinople
which was most desirable at that moment. We will
only further state, the following letter is from an officer
whose opinion is entitled to the highest consideration:—
" Sir,—l beg to call your attention to a few facts. The
anchorage outside the outer castles,of the Dardanelles
(Basikha Bay) is exposed and dangerous with the wind
southerly, and the ships lying there always run up and
anchor below the upper castle, in the bay, where Sir W.
Parker went and wisely took his squadron.
" Lord Hardwicke knows very little of that channel,
and the responsibility of as admiral, when he condemns
his superior officer for getting under weigh when he did.
" Several men-of-war—one in particular, the Rapid—
in 1832 twice were obliged to run for this anchorage. and
had Vice Admiral Sir W. Parker remained in Basikha
Bay with the wind southerly, I have no doubt damage
would have occurred by ships parting, as the holding
ground is bad; and to beat against a southerly wind in
these narrows is no easy matter for a three-deck ship.
"By the treaty I understand, ships of war are per-
mitted to seek shelter in any part of the Straits below the
upper castle.—Yours, &c.,
" T. S.
—Herald.
