This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most
perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL
INCOME being UPWARDS of 72,0001.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 2/. per cent. per
annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they were effected.
The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1834, to December 31,
1840, is as follows :
Sum Time Sum added Sum Time Sum added
Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured. Assured. to Policy.
£5OOO 6 yrs. 10 mths. £683 6 8 £5OOO 4 years £4OO
5000 6 years 600 0 0 5000 2 years 200
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first Five Years, where the Insur-
ance is for Life.
Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident
Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., of No. 8,
Waterloo-Place; Pall-mall, London. • '

The division of profits is annual, and the next will be made in De-
cember of the present year.
This institution offers many important and substantial advan-
tages with respect both to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuities.
The assured has, on all occasinis, the power to borrow, without ex-
pense or forfeiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the premium paid,
(see table) ; also the option of selecting benefits, and the conversion
of his interests to meet other conveniences or necessity. Assurances
for terms of years are granted on the lowest possible rates.

Persons intending to effect Assurances should observe the ap.
proach of their birthday, as each year adds to the annual payment
required.

The first Life Assurance Society commenced business in 1705,
and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to
a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important
changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So-
ciety in 1841 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of
persons who suffer from disease.
The science of statistics has only within a recent period been
successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and
hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been
formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous
for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of
persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in-
formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office,
is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life
assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life
assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that
on healthy lives.
It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in
common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons,
it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons
labouring under disease; and to this latter feature particular atten.
tion is directed.
In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than
all other offices can have unitedly; and in the
Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its
own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more
permanent foundation.
These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an
explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease.
The period of life most important to an assurance office is that be-
tween 15-60 years of age, and in the following remarks we refer
exclusively to this period of life.
It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two
years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from
consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that more than one.third of
the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva-
lence of a single disease ; and if the same inquiry were instituted
with respect to other diseases, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases of
the head, heart, &c., it would be found that more than one-half
of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused
admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to
the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—ln Bir-
mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes,
per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are
1,988, forming considerably more than one-third of the whole. The
same thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot-
land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes,
amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and
from six important diseases, 9,754 ; in the latter case forming more
than 42 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. On reference to
the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be
found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107,
from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being
more than 45 per cent. of the deaths from all causes.
The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a
chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which,
en a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the
persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since
it thus appears that a majority of the population is included in this
class, the value and importance of the new feature of this society
cannot fail to be justly appreciated.
The second point to be explained is the fact that there is
much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of
paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and
deserves to be carefully considered.
Tho real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in
the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different
degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its
caculations ere founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation
of mortality, and will be found to be much less among diseased
lives than over the general population, and among selected lives.
The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are
sufficiently near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow,
from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the
matter to figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum
in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only
9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in
consumption was only one-fifth of the other; and in Manchester,
Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of
smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent.,
showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the
mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute
in its results than that which regulates the general population.
Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi.
dered more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the
larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question
under consideration; but the same test has been appled to a great
number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine
diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism,
disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c., the
fluctuation was only 7i per celit., and in five diseases in a different
district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven
in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation
did not exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns in
England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds,
Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important
diseases was 6'4 per cent.
The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro.
duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality
in disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole
range of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor.
tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population
has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer-
tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with
how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be
depended on.
It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of
fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or
class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in
England and Scotland, as well as t• many rural districts in Eng-
land, and included the experience e one or two large societies of
select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the
effects of locality and its sanatory condition en the duraticn of
life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, ♦iz.,
that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun.
try districts than in large cities; but that of those persons
who suffer from disease the value of life is nearly the same. As
an example of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country
districts is 36.7 years; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years—diffe-
rence 33 per cent. nearly; but take the case of persons of that
age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will
ultimately die of consumption, and their expectation of life in the
counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5,
in cities (Glasgow) 14'4, and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir-
mingham, 13'9 ; difference *Ol7 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It
therefore appears that while the difference between country and
town life in the former cm is about 33 per cent., that in the latter
instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the
results nearly uniform. The same thing holds good with some
other diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. This
fact, although not generally understood, Is only what might have
been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly
arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease
is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in-
fluenced by external circumstances.
Ithence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased
lives is much less than among select livee and the population gene-
rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be

Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London.
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to he the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene-
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.
BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom-
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all
climates.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.

REPORT OF SELECT COMMITTEE OF THE
HOUSE OF COMMONS ON GAMING.
(Ordered to be printed 20th of May, 1844.)

Some time has elapsed since we gave.a notice of
this Report. It has since been reprinted, together
with the Minutes of Evidence and Appendix. From
the evidence we are inclined to quote some curious
extracts; but at present have only room to select,
from the answers of Peter Cloves, Esq., the following
curious notice of reverend betters and levanters. It
is instructive enough :

What do you suppose is the reason that the clergy
have discontinued attending the turf?—l never knew
more than two or three.

How many of those have you known levanters?—l
have known two; not more than that in the course -of
my life.
How many have you known betting? —I hardly ever
knew a clergyman bet beyond those.
You state that you have known horses withdrawn pre-
vious to the great races, and other practices which you
consider unfair upon the turf; do not you consider those
exceptions?—Certainly.
And that in general the proceedings on the turf are
carried on honourably?—Yes, I think so, certainly.
And that even those clergymen and such practices are
exceptions?—l do.
Are the clergymen you allude to men occupying high
stations in the Church?—Yes. _

lOGRAPHICAL SKETCH of RICHARD
TOTHILL, Esq., of Heavitree, near Exeter, Member of the
Royal College of Surgeons, and a Licentiate of the Apothecaries'
Company, London, who, from thirteen years practical experience
upon himself, his family, and at the Exeter Hygelan Dispensary, in
upwards of 5,000 cases, has indubitably proved the truth of the Hy-
gean System of Medicine, and the fallacy of the contradictory theories
pursued by the faculty at the present day.
Mr. Tothill is the fourth son of the Rev. John Tothill, of Cheriton
Bishop, Rector of Ilillisleigh, in the county of Devon, and was born
at Cheriton Bishop, in the year 1800. He received the first part of
his medical education with William Collins, Esq., surgeon, of Ken- I
ton, Devon; he ultimately concluded his studies at St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, London, and was examined for his diploma at the College
of Surgeons, London, by the late John Abernethy, Esq.
The following is au extract of Mr. Tothill's case as published by
him in 1835 :
" I had passed my thirtieth year before I first saw the light—the
true light that guided me to health—and from my boyhood I had
passed a life of disease, physical misery, and woe. I began to run
the gauntlet of all the remedies which physicians are in the habit
of prescribing—nothing had any effect in giving me ease.
Thus I continued, year after year, struggling with disease. My
speedy dissolution was often looked for, my meridian of life passed,
the powers and energies of life fast subsiding, my faculties impairing
—I was fast descending into the grave. The slightest meal gave me
all the horrors of indigestion—that low, languid state in which the
sufferer finds no case or rest—peevish, sleepless; my joints stiff, and
my feet filled with excruciating pains, so that I could scarce walk.
Such was I in my thirtieth year, and from six years' occasional use
of Mr. Morison's medicines, on and off, for weeks and months at a
time, I have arrived at a state of perfect health. I now only require
occasional doses of them during the year to keep me in that state.
My family have experienced the same benefit, and by a few doses
are kept in continual health. Can I, therefore, with such irrefragable
proofs before my eyes, pursue the exercise of those fallacious theories
which, as a medical man, I acquired in the medical schools ?—Surely
not. Heaven and earth cry against it !"
In consequence of the misrepresentations which have appeared in
the medical papers andother channels respecting Mr. Tothill, Messrs.
Morison feel themselves called upon to lay the above before the
public.

lIE FORCE OF HABIT.
Such a title as this, may, to many folks, seem
A singular heading to choose for a theme.
But the reader must note, that the " Habits" of Moses,
Are different " Habits" from what he supposes.
In morals we hear of " good h•‘bits" a d bad"—
And in dress, it depends how a person is did.
Now the beautiful " Habits" of MOSES and SON
Are very "good Habits"—outrivalled by none.
When persons "get in" to such " Habits" as these,
Such respectable Habits" are certain to please.
The " force" of such " Habits" by all is allow'd—
They gain you respect as you pass through the crowd;
And when with a drawing-room party you blend,
These " Habits" will certainly gain you a friend.
When a gentleman's wooing some feminine bloom,
Much depends on the " Habits" which he may assume.
And these are the reasons why gentl . men "don''
The " forcible Habits" of MOSES and 80N.
But MOSES has beautiful " Habits," of course,
For nymphs in the "habit" of riding the horse,
Which ensura to the ladies who "habit" in these,
A " Habit" of riding with grace and with ease.
Then may all the good readers reflect, as they should,
And " cast off" " bad habits" for those that are goad."
For this is s• thing that is very soon done
At the beautiful " Dress-Mart" of MOSES and SON.

less.
To apply this conclusion to the affairs of an assurance rffice, it
may be stated, that supposing the number of lives in a society,
taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would
indicate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have
always sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths ;
on the other hand, an office assuring only &sensed lives need not
provide for more than 109 deaths per annum; that is to say, the
risk of aasuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45,
or only one-fifth. This fact is highly important to the interests of
this Society, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctness
of the principles on which it is founded.
For further information, reference is made to the prospectuses
and other published documents of the Society, which may be ob.
tained on application at the Society's offices.

Perhaps those gentlemen may not themselves have re-

of course will not pay if they know that they are not
themselves paid; the public have nothing to do with
who receive or who do not receive; they ought to be able
to pay what they bet.

fore, to area in proportion to length of breakwater and
pier, Ca,,tain Beechey's plan obviously claims the pre-
ference. The entrance to each harbour has the same
aspect, viz., true east; but, owing to the greater size of
Captain Beechey's harbour, he can afford to have a wider
entrance than Mr. Walker, without proportionately in
creasing the risk of injurious disturbance within it.
Accordingly, Captain Beechey makes his entrance up-
wards of 1,000 feet wide, whilst Mr. Walker limits his
entrance to 350 feet. It also appears to me that the ter-
minating kant of the north breakwater of Captain
Beechey's plan is so placed, with reference to the head
of his south pier, as to occasion less broken water across
the entrance, which, in connexion with its being nearly
three times the width, makes it much more accessible
when the wind is from the northward and westward,
which are the bad weather points, and which, consider-
ing how close both entrances are to a rocky lee shore,
makes a wide and easy access all important. I am
therefore of opinion, that in every point of view, as an
asylum harbour, Captain Beechey's plan must be deemed
preferable. Captain Beechey's plan has also the advan-
tage of making the present harbour a portion, and a
most valuable one, of the enlarged harbour, and, as such,
capable of being made of great importance, from its ap-
plicability to the various appurtenances wanted to make
any establishment of this kind complete. As packet
harbours, both plans appear to me deficient in affording
a degree of shelter that would give the necessary quiet
for berthing the steamers alongside the proposed work-
ing l iers in gales from the north-west; and in each 1
think it would be found requisite to give the additional
accommodation of a deep-water wharf along the east
side of Ynys Gyby, in the manner suggested by Mr.
Walker. This would reduce the area of both harbours,
which would be most felt in Mr. Walker's plan; more
from the inconvenience of having to take the packets
through the crowd of vessels which won d doubtless be
frequently collected within it, than by the mere reduc-
tion of size. Captain Beechey's plan being the largest,
and having greater space inclosed by its south pier, ad-
mits of a better opportunity of devoting that portion of
the harbour to the sole use of the packets. To this the
only objection is, that the packets would be incon-
veniently removed from the dockyard, and in north-west
gales would frequently have to use the wharf along the
opposite side of the harbour, in the same way that Mr.
Walker's plan contemplates. Mr. Walker's plan has
undoubtedly the advantage of increasing the accommo-
dation of the present harbour, by the gradual extension
of its north pier; but judging from past experience, it
is a reasonable apprehension that any increase of ac-
commodation which could be so obtained would invite
such an accumulation of shipping as would deprive the
packets of much of the benefit. It appears to me,
therefore, that if the object sought is the accommoda-
tion of a larger class of packets, it is worth close in-
quiry whether that might not be fully accomplished by
the expenditure of a comparatively small sum in deepen-
ing the present harbour, so as to make a sufficient area
for vessels of say 150 feet length, which I assume to be
sufficient for insuring the requisite speed. Whilst ad-
verting to what I have considered to be a want of de-
sirable accommodation in the two plans for the harbour,
on which my opinion is requested, I have thought it un-
necessary for me to particularise their individual merits.
The high scientific and professional character of theim
projectors is a sufficient warrant for their general excel-
lence, and would deter me from making any suggestions
of my own; but the great importance of a harbour of
refuge at Holyhead has been so impressed on me during
my late investigation of the subject of this report, as to
produce a conviction on my mind that no money within
a reasonable limit should be spared for effecting the
most spacious and complete harbour that the site will
admit. In replying, therefore, to that part of the ques-
tion as to my own opinion on the best position for the
harbour, I hope I shall not be considered as exceeding
my instructions in laying before the Lords Commission-
ers of the Admiralty a plan which, though more expen-
sive than either Mr. Walker's or Captain Beechy's,
appears to me justified by its commensurate magnitude,
and the number of important objects it would embrace.
It is shown on the accompanying chart, on which I have
also laid down Mr. Walker's and Captain Beechey's, for
the more ready comparison of the three, and by which
it will be seen that by running off a breakwater from e
headland west of the present harbour called Soldier's
Point' eastward, so as to terminate north of the
' Platter's Buoy,' and forming a pier from Yns Gyby,
with its head resting on the Outer Platters,' a har-
bour of upwards of 300 acres would be formed, having
its entrance windward of the entrance of the other pro
posed plan nearly three-quarters of a mile, and in €4
fathoms of water. The breakwater by this plan would
be about 5,000 feet long, and the south pier about 2,000
feet long, and the enclosed harbour would contain 252
acres, having two fathoms of water and upwards (at lois
water), 216 acres having three fathoms and upwards,
188 acres having four fathoms and upwards, and 127
acres having five fathoms and upwards ; and the whole
space was reported to me by Commander Kains, and
others having local knowledge, as excellent holding
ground, and free from rocks or foul ground. That :ht
last-mentioned advantage is possessed by this site, is
confirmed by the elaborate soundings given in Captain
Beechey's, chart, which shows only one small sunken
rock, on which is marked 15 feet - water, and which
should recommend to be covered by ~,n inner pier, run
off the shore, as shown by dotted lines on the plan.
This pier would also separate the packet harbour from
the asylum harbour, afford quiet berths for the steamers
in north-west gales, and would shelter the west side of
the dockyard and Yns Gyby, as also the greater part of
the pier, which runs from thence to the Outer Platters.
The land forming the south and west sides of this har-
bour is mountainous, and offers complete shelter. The
breakwater is not more exposed than in either of the
other plans, and though the water in which it would
have to be formed is in its deepest part upwards of two
fathoms greater than in either of the other plans, the
cost would not be proportionately increased, as the lower
part of the slopes need not be made as flat as the upper
portions. The facility also of getting stone in the moun-
tain from which it would spring, will be something
greater in the case of either of the other breakwaters
As regards the south pier of this plan, it is shorter than
the similar piers of either of the other plans, but has
from seven to eight feet more water. A rock is marked
in the chart on the inside of this pier, but it is covered
with 14 to 17 feet water, and being small, might easily
be removed to a depth of 3} fathoms, if necessary. As
regards the entrance, I have drawn it of a width of 800
feet, the head of the breakwater covering it from northerly
gales, but in a manner that would prevent broken water
from being thrown across it, and with an aspect which.
though sheltered, would admit of vessels running in and
out free with any wind between north-east and north-
ward to north-west. This harbour would also have the

advantage of connexion with the present harbour through
the drawbridge, which joins the island of Yns Gyby to
the main, and it would also have a greater extent of shore
than even Captain Beechey's plan. It is, however, the
windward position of its entrance, its large stare with
deep water, and the facility it offers for the convenient
separation of the mail-packets from the general shipping.
which I regard as its chief advantages, and which 1
think more than compensate for its greater cost than
Mr. Walker's or Captain Beechey's plan, with which it
is compared in my answer to the next question,"
In answer to the seventh question, we have the fol-
lowing summary of the relative expense of the plans,
respectively :

" Assuming the cost of executing the several corre-
sponding classes of work in Mr. Walker's and Captain
Beechey's plans to be the same, which I see no reason
to doubt, and that Mr. Walker's estimate is sufficient,
which I also believe, the cost of Captain Beechey's plan
would be 550,000 L, or 150,0002 more than Mr. Walker's;
the plan which I have ventured to suggest would cost
600,0002"

Mr. Rendel's report on the eighth interrogatory is
in the negative.

that between _ _ and Lincoln the line could
be constructed at less expense than in any other part of
England, as it would pass over a dead fiat. and there
would be no tunnel, and scarcely any cutting'. He then
called their attention to the danger they were in of
losing the stream of cattle from Lincolnshire, which in
consequence of an Act having been obtained for a line
from Cambridge to Ely, would most likely be diverted to
ir
that place, unless a direct line could be obtained by
Peterborough. Ire was extremely desirous lat any
railway to the north should pass through this lace. It
was the right line in a national point of view, the best
line for the local interests, the neighbourhood, anti the
best for the parties engaged in the undertaking.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously,.
Mr. E. B. DENNISON, M.P., said that the Directors of
the London and York Railway, having heard that a.
meeting was to be held on the subject of the railway,
thought it their duty to attend. He was delighted to
find that everybody at Peterborough, and particularly
the Noble Lord in the chair, was favourable to the line.
He was, however, bound to tell them, that whether it
would go close to Peterborough would be for the en-
gineer to decide. The.:Pirectors would have to weigh
well the arguments on both sides, and none could be
more powerful than those of the Noble Lord. The
chief object of the Directors was to shorten the distance
between London and York, which, if carried out, would
effect a saving of between 28 and 30 miles. A secondary
object was to shorten the communication with the
West Riding of Yorshire, containing one million of
people, who consumed a great portion of the corn of Lin-
colnshire. It was well known that the greater part of
the corn of Lincolnshire went northward, and the cattle
southward ; and as the line would come to or near Pe-
terborough, it would most materially benefit that place.
The agricultural districts would reap a great advantage
by cheapness of conveyance. He had ascertained that
the average cost of conveying a quarter of wheat to
Wakefield was 3s. 6d—the farmer had to pay also com-
mission at Wakefield, and to run the risk of a sea pas-
sage. If the farmer would undertake to pay them the
freight, why he would save in commission and sea risk,
besides which, he could bring his corn to market in
twelve hours instead of a week. With respect to coals,
he believed that the coals of the West Riding might be
laid down at ss. a ton less than the sea-borne coal.
The line would go through a country where there was
no railway, and scarcely any canal, so that, taking any
siew of the case, there could be no doubt that it would
lie of great advantage to the town.
A variety of other resolutions were then agreed to,
one of which, moved by Mr. J. D. Simpson, and seconded
by R. Hodgson, Esq., M.P., pledged the meeting to sup-
port, by every means in its power, the London and
York Railway.
Mr. Mowatt, Mr. Pyne, Mr. Chaplin, and other
gentlemen subsequently addressed the meeting, '-.hick
separated after the usual vote of thanks had been passed
to the Noble Chairman.

LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S
STEAMER GORGON.

The intelligence of the loss of this steam frigate, witk
eight other vessels, was brought over a few (Pays since
by the mail packet from South America, and it has been
too truly confirmed by dispatches subsequently received
at the Admiralty. It occurred on the night of the
11th of May last, during a terrific storm, off the coast
of Monte Video, but we are happy to state the whole of
the officers and crew were saved.
The Gorgon, it will be recollected, obtained consider-
able notoriety at the siege of St. Jean d'Acre, while
under the command of Henderson—a shell fired from
one of her guns on deck blowing up the principal powder
magazine in the fortress, whereby an immense destruc-
tion' of life took place, and the battle was brought almost to
an immediate termination. On her return to England
she was re-commissioned, under the command of Captain
Charles Hotham, to the service in South Ameriga, where
she has been engaged up to the period of her loss. She
was, we believe, launched at Pembroke, in the year
1833, and was a fine vessel of her class, her engines
amounting to 350 horse power, and armed with six guns.
The account of her lass is reported to be as follows:—
At an early hour on the morning of the Bth of May,
while the Gorgon and another of her Majesty's steamers,
the Ardent, Captain John Russell commander, were
lying at anchor a few miles to the westward of Monte
Video, it came on to blow very hard from the southward.
The weather had for several days previously been very
unsettled, and the appearance of the heavens indicated a
coming storm. During the whole of that and the suc-
ceeding night and day the wind continued blowing
heavy, until about three o'clock on the morning of the
10th, when it burst into one of the most terrific hurri-
canes that has been experienced off that coast for twenty
years and upwards. At the first blast an armed schooner
was torn from her anchors and driven ashore, where she
fell on her beam-ends, and the crew narrowly escaped
a watery grave. Directly afterwards three other vessels
met with a similar fate, their cables snapping asunder,
and driving on the beach with great force. Captain
llotham, of the Gorgon, took precautionary measures
long before the hurricane commenced, by making the
ship as snug as possible, and having two anchors out,
but notwithstanding the vessel was soon found to be
driving from her anchors.
The steam being up, an order was given to the engi-
neers to " go ahead," which was instantly done, and an
attempt was made to run her out, but the sea ran so
terrifically high that it was impossible, every wave
making a clean sweep over the length of her deck, and
washing everything overboard. The engines were still
kept going, and thus prevented the steamer being
mediately driven ashore, though little or no way was
obtained on her; however, matters continued this way
until about eleven o'clock of the 11th, when Captain
Hotham succeeded in gaining the centre of the bay,
where three anchors were let go, and hopes were enter-
tained that she would here safely ride the storm out.
Such, unfortunately, was not the case, for, ere many
minutes had elapsed, the cables of two of the anchors
were found to be parted. Her engines were again put
into immediate operation, and endeavours were made to
hold on with one anchor, but all the strength of her ma-
chinery was not sufficient to contend against the fury of
the hurricane and strength of the current, for suddenly
the ship broke away, and in defiance of all the exertion of
Captain Hotham, his officers, and crew, was carried by
the tide high on to the beach, surrounded by a tre-
mendous surf.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon when she struck,
and, but for the engines being kept in rapid motion, the
force with which she would have been carried ashore
would have dashed the ship to pieces; whereas, her pro-
gress was slow, and the shock when she struck was not
violent. The crew and officers contrived to effect a safe
landing, but in what manner it is not stated. During the
whole of the night and following morning the hurricane
continued to rage with apparently increased violence,
and it was not till Sunday before it any way abated.
The Gorgon was then found to be upward of sixty
yards above high water-mark, and part of her hull
buried in sand and shingle. her guns and stores were
got out of her, and several steamers were brought to tow
her off, but it was utterly useless. The last accounts
received stated that her crew were engaged in digging
her out of the sand, and forming a channel about the
beach, in order, it is conceived, to float her out, but there
appeared not the slighest chance of this ever being
effected, consequently there the ship must remain, and is
a complete loss.
ller Majesty's steamer Ardent was very nearly meet-
ing with a similar fate. She parted with her anchors,
and the strength of the current was carrying the vessel
towards the shore, when she came in contact with another
ship of greater bulk than herself, which stopped her pro-
gress, and enabled the crew to secure her.
During the same gale, further up the coast, at a place
called Bucco, no fewer than fourteen vessels were
stranded, two of which are reported to be ships of war.

ADVERTISEMENT. ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY
PROOF OF THE EFFICACY OF HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—
Mr. Stevens, a gentleman holding a highly responsible
situation in an insurance-office in the City, from over
attention to business, became so bilious, debilitated, and
nervous, with palpitation of heart, and with a dread on
the mind of some approaching calamity, as to be ren-
dered
for some weeks quite incapable of attending to his
duties. In this truly pitiable state he commenced the

COACH COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EDINBURGH
AND NEWCASTLE.—On Monday, a new four-horse coach, the
Magnet, commenced running between the above places,
passing through Berwick. She leaves Edinburgh at four
o'clock in the afternoon, and, proceeding at a rate equal to
that of the mail, she arrives at I\ ewcastle in time for the train
which leaves at six o'clock A.m. for London, where passen-
gers will arrive at eight o'clock, thus obviating the necessity
of travelling on the rail under night. She again leaves New-
castle for the north at ten in the evening, passing through
Berwick at five, and reaching Edinburgh in time for the
eleven o'clock train to Glasgow. These arrangements seem
to offer peculiar advantages to travellers, and such persons,
we have no doubt, will show their appreciation of them.
The Union, the Mail, and the Royal William coaches con-
tinue as heretofore. The Magnet, so far, has met with de-
cided success. Each night she has arrived apparently with
her full complement of passengers,—Scotsman.
