OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
6, We regard the work before us, " The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffbr_
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."

—Age and Argus.
" The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fall to recommerid it to a careful perusal."—Era.

ARTHUR-STREET WEST, LONDON-BRIDGE,
November 7, 1844.
THE DIRECTORS of the NATIONAL MER-
CANTILE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY hereby give
notice, that an EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
of the PROPRIETORS of the said Society will be held at the
Office of the Society, Arthur-street West, London-bridge, on the
29th day of November instant, at Twelve o 'Clock at noon, pur.
suant to a Requisition signed by Proprietors holding upward• of
1,000 Shares in the Capital of the Society, for the following pur-
poses :—To consider the propriety of disposing of the concern to
some one of the older Offices in London, in consequence of certain
attempts having been made to wrest the office out of the hands of
the Original Proprietors and Founders of the Institution ; or the
rropriety of Dissolving the Company forthwith, with a view to
protect the interests of the Policy-holders and all parties concerned.

To the PROPRIETORS and POLICY-HOLDERS in the
NATIONAL MERCANTILE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.
Gentlemen.
THE Proprietors and Policy-holders in the above
Society are respectfully informed that the .arcittsement for
R Meeting to dispose of, or to dissolve, the Society is issued by the
Directors in consequence of a Requisition signed by a large body of
Proprietors, expressive of the sentiments of three-fifths of the
entire body, calling a Meeting to remove certain of the
Directors from their office. The Society, if under a manage-
ment possessing the confidence of the Proprietary, was never
in a more promising condition, and it only remains to remove
the present obstacles to its progress to make it one of the largest
and most successful offices of the day. On behalf of three of
the Directors, and three-fifths of the Proprietary, I respectfully
request that the Policy-holders and their friends will put the proper
construction on the motives of those Directois who have got up the
requisition, and called the meeting to dispose of, or dissolve, the
Society.
N.B. The Deed of Settlement requires four fifths of the votes of
qualified Proprietors to dissolve the Society, whilst Proprietors
representing three-fifths of such votes have already signified to the
Directors their wish for their retirement, and their determination
to maintain the integrity of the Society.
I am, Gentlemen, your:most obedient humble servant,
JOHN L. EVANS, Secretary to the Committee of Proprietors.

HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM.
Persons assured according to these rates are allowed credit (with.
out security) for half the amount of the first seven Annual Pre-
miums, paying interest thereon at the rate of Five per Cent. per
Annum, with the option of paying off the Principal at any time, or
having the amount deducted from the sum assured when the Policy
becomes a claim.
Policies may thus be effected at lower rates than are generally
required for the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have
the same security for the payment of their claims, whenever death
may happen,
as if they paid double the amount of premium, which
would be charged for assurances effected in the usual way.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

- - _
Yesterday a Court of of Aldermen was held.
Sir P. LAURIE said that nothing could be more
gratifying than the manner in which the procession,
en the day of the visit of the Queen, was arranged
and regulated. The whole of the proceedings of the
day were indeed the theme of unlimited approbation
but the members of that Court felt that without the aid
of the Government, and some noble and distinguished
person=, they could not have succeeded so effectuallylin
doing honour to her Majesty. His Grace the Duke of
Wellington most promptly gave his authority in aid
of the efforts of the Court; and the officers and sol-
diers employed on the occasion acted with the greatest
zeal and temper, so that no occurrence of a disagree-
able kind took place amongst the numerous multi-
tudes assembled to hail the visit of the Queen.—
(Hear, hear.) It gave him great pleasure, too, to
state that by the judgment and energy of the City
Police Commissioner, the police force were rendered
most effective, and were most deserving of the cor-
dial notice of the Court.—(Hear.) Sir Peter Laurie
then moved that the thanks of the Court be given to
his Grace the Duke of Wellington, for the aid ren-
dered by him on the 28th of October, by ordering the
attendance of troops, &c., on the occasion of her Ma-
jesty's most gracious visit on the opening of the
Royal Exchange.—(Loud applause.) He also
moved that the thanks ,of the Court be
given to Sir George Murray ; to the Benchors
of the Temple; to Messrs. Child and Co., the
bankers ; to Lieutenant-Colonel Cox, and the officers
of the Artillery Company ; to the Commissioner of
the City Police, &c., &e. The votes of thanks were
unanimously agreed to; and
Sir PETER LAURIE said he experienced peculiar
pleasure in bearing testimony to the admirable plan
adopted by Mr. Harvey
.for keeping the streets quiet
and orderly, and he rejoiced to find that the Corn•
missioner was so extremely well qualified to manage
and control so large a force.--(Cheers.)
Alderman LUCAS, in seconding the motions of
thanks, heartily complimented Mr. Harvey upon his
skill and activity.
Alderman WOOD said that the approbation thus ex-
pressed was well deserved. The Commissioner had
been obliged to employ a number of additional men
on the day of the Queen's visit, and, in order to
maintain order more effectually, he dressed the newly-
sworn constables in the old clothes of the force, so
that the apparent numbers of the police operated in
preventing anything like confusion amongst the vast
crowds.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir P. LAURIE said that at the last Court of Alder-
men the letter of Sir James Graham, announcing the
gratification felt by her Majesty at her reception and
entertainment, had been read. It was his wish that,
in the narrative of the proceedings, that leit'r should
be introduced.
The LORD MAYOR intimated that a Committee
was engaged in considering the subject, and that, no
doubt, there would be no omission of any circum•
stance worthy of record.—(Hear, hear.)
Alderman Wool) wished that the letter written by
Sir James Graham to the Lord Mayor, on the subject
of doing away with the evening sitting at the Central
Criminal Court, should be entered on the minutes of
the Court. He submitted a motion on the subject, and
Alderman Ilumphery seconded the motion.
The LORD MAYOR most decidedly objected to the
proposition, which at once fell to the ground.
The Court then adjourned, and proceeded to Guild-
hall, for the purpose of holding the ceremony of
swearing in the new Lord Mayor.

COURT OF SEWERS.
A special meeting of the Court of Sewers for the
City of Westminster, and part of Middlesex, was held
yesterday at the Sewers-office, Greek street, Soho-
square, Thomas L. Donaldson, Esq., in the chair.
The most important business of the day, namely, to
receive tenders for the works on the Ranelagh and
Counters-creek districts, and to take such steps thereon
as may be deemed expedient, having been brought be-
fore the Court by the Chairman, an animated dis-
cussion ensued, upon a proposition of Mr. Leslie's to
return the tenders unbroken to the respective parties,
and to throw nn the works upon the line to further
competition. the motion „..... -.1g.„,,t‘,117 negatived.
1
and the different tenders—three in all—having been
opened and compared, it was announced that Messrs.
Ha zlitt and Bonnin's was the lowest.
On the question that their tender be accepted,
Mr. LESLIE objected that by the Court's present
system of contracting, they were paying twice as
much as was paid per foot run by the Holborn and
Finsbury division. He had been to the neighbouring
Commission for the purpose of certifying this point ;
he had got the fullest particulars of their mode of
doing business there, and he had ascertained, beyond
the possibility of a doubt, that for every foot of
sewerage put in by the Court of Westminster, the
Holborn and Finsbury division could build two.
That was a matter of some importance to the public.
By a continuance of the present defective system they
were losing sight of the public interests, and damaging
their own character, as a public Court, to an enor-
mous extent. It was a singular and a striking fact,
that the same person did the works on that district es
in their own—he meant Mr. Bennett, the late con-
tractor. What did he charge them, and what that
Court ? Why, he charged the Holborn and Fins-
bury district only 131. 15s. per rod, in cement, but
his price to that Court was 151. 10s.
Mr. ALLMON would remind Mr. Leslie that Mr.
Bennett was not their contractor now, neither was he
present in Court.
Mr. Linn thought the fact that that gentleman
had contracted with both Courts was a very im-
portant one. He (Mr. Leslie) had in his pocket a
copy of the contract, and the prices for which Mr.
Bennett had tendered for a particular line of road,
and that price was greatly under what that Court paid.
The CHAIRMAN—But Mr. Bennett lost several
hundred pounds by that contract, and the Court made
the loss up to him afterwards.
Mr. LESLIE would suppose that correct. It did
not vitiate his argument. They did, indeed, allow
him 2001., but that was in consequence of an ob-
struction by the Regent's Canal, which had not been
before contemplated. But what were the prices ?
Why there, 18s. 6d. per foot lineal, while in that
Court they paid 21. 2s. 10d. Was he not right, then,
in saying that they in Westminster paid double to
what they paid in Holborn ? The ramming in and
filling in in Holborn was charged fourpence, butin that
Court one shilling ; and that difference of price arose
simply from their system of accepting contractors for
the district, and the unfortunate bill of particulars
which they had sent into the contracting parties.
They were literally binding themselves hand and
foot, and giving themselves up to the tender mercies
of those persons. The Holborn and Finsbury dis-
trict had got seven tenders from respectable parties.
Mr. Bennett's happened to be the lowest, and he was
accepted ; but why, he asked, should Mr. Bennett
charge them 151. 10s., and the Holborn district only
131. 15s. ?
The CHAIRMAN thought Mr. Leslie was digressing
from the question. Mr. Bennett was no longer a con-
tractor with that Court.
Mr. LESLIE'S argument was directed against the
system. The Court was that day going to choose a
contractor in precisely a similar way to that which had
produced those effects in the former case. The error
waslin the bill of particulars sent out by that Court. The
Commissioners, and the contractors also, were led
aside by a fallacious statement, for many of the items
placed in that bill were not wanted in their works.
It was impossible that any Court could go on in such
a state of things. How could, how would, they stand
before the public with such an increased expenditure
as compared with the neighbouring Commission ? It
showed, at least, that there was something radically
wrong in the whole system, which he (Mr. Leslie)
would wish to see stopped before it went further. If
it could be shown that his stratement was wrong, let
them, in Heaven's name try the plan adopted in Hol-
born and Finsbury. He stood up there for the
public interests, and he firmly believed that the
wretched bill of particulars sent out to contractors
was the cause of all the irregularity.
The CHAIRMAN must really call the Hon. Com-
missioner's attention to the real question. The Court
had already decided that that bill of particulars should
be issued, and it was too late at that bow to animad-
vert upon it.
Mr. LESLIE objected to the whole prices charged
in these contracts, as they were so much higher than
the neighbouring district. Let them try the plan
adopted by the Holborn and Finsbury Commission,
as it was self-evident that it was so much better than
their own; and if they could save the public several
hundred pounds, he (Mr. Leslie) did not doubt that
they would thereby please all parties.
The CHAIRMAN explained, that in the line of sewer
referred to by the Hon. Commissioner, the contractor
had lost a considerable sum, and the proof that he had
done so was best furnished by the fact that, in ten-
dering a second time, he was the highest of the can-
didates. To use a homely saying, he had burned his
fingers, and was most anxious not to do the same a
second time,
