of YOUNG PERSONS; or s2eming " Old Age in Youth-

ciency of those attributes and sensibilities, and that vigour of frame
and nerve which characterise and dignify the healthy and well_

possessor for the ordinary duties of society.
By R. J. CULVERWELL, M.D.,

The above little address has the following recommendations :
The author is a legitimate practitioner of twenty years' standing
in his profession, and writes not from books, but from observation.
His pages are wholly free from the spirit of cant or empiricism,
and are addressed to the intelligence of the times. Among
other topics will be found a Review of the Physiology of
Life in its Progress from the Youth to the Man, and the
Diseases mostly incident to and acquired during that period ; also
the great end and aim of life—namely, " Marriage;" its intent,
obligations, and physical and constitutional disqualifications, mcdl.
cally considered.

ETHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

The meeting on Wednesday evening was engaged in
hearing and discussing three papers entitled—l. " A few
remarks on the inhabitants of the Pyrenees, by Mr.
W. .li. Masterson." 2. " A comparative view of the
human pelvis in the different races of mankind, by Sir
Augustus Francis de Ritgen, Professor of Obstetrics at
Gi6ssen." 3. " On the Mongols, by Mr. Bayle St. John."
The inhabitants of Vernet des Bains, in the Eastern Py-
renees, are classed by Mr. Masterson as " longheads, '
for a very few round heads are to be found amongst
them. They are an industrious and moral people, and
differ widely from the Basques. They are of short
stature, and exceedingly swarthy complexion. Inter-
marriage of near relations is very frequent, and with no
unfavourable results. In their language there are many
words of Moorish origin, which would show a descent
mom the Moors who took refuge in these mountains
after the t,,rrible defeat they suffered from Charles
Martel. Sir Augustus Francis de llitgen's paper related
to the form of the pelvis, as furnishinc, ethnological
criteria. After a rapid glance at the modifications' of
the pelvis in fishes, reptiles, birds, and mammalia, the
Learned Professor noticed five modifications of this
part of the skeleton as recognisable in the human sub-
ject, and advanced the ingenious speculation that whilst
that part of the pelvis which is above the brim may be
compared to the skull, and bearing, some relation to it, the
inferior portion may be compared to the face—the seat
of the senses. Thus, in the elephant, as in the human
Peing, the large intellectual organ is accompanied with
a large upper part of the pelvis, whilst in the libidi
nous monkey the lower portion is strikingly large. The
cranium has so generally been taken as the sole or chief
point of national distinction, that these suggestions must
be regarded as an object of almost novel interest.

The paper of Mr. )3ayle St. John was of much greater
length than the two preceding, and was chiefly confined
to the Mongols Proper, as distinguished from that group
of .mankind designated by Blumenbach as
.the Mon-
golian variety, and which comprises many nations be-
sides those'which formed the subject of the paper. These
may be characterised as the nation which left their
native seat, under conduct of Ghengis Khan, and exer-
cisecU a temporary sway over a large portion. of the
East! Their physical characters, the modification which
their ireligion and habits received from the natives whom
they subdued, their present comparatively limited ter-
ritory, its capabilities for the maintenance of a large
population under a different social system, and many
otheri points, were alluded to in the paper, which ex-
hibited much careful research and extensive reading,
and was well worthy the son of the justly-admired
authOr of the " Manners and Cui toms of Ancient Greece."
Dr. • Hodgkin presided, and an animated discussion, in
which the Baron de Bode took a leading part, engaged
the attention of the meeting until a late hour.

LAW AND POLICE.

In the Arches Court articles were exhibited against the
Rev. Mr. Hodgson, the Chaplain of Salisbury Gaol, for a se-
rious offence, that must at present be kept secret. The
prayer was that the clergyman might be dismissed from his
living. An objection was raised to the admissibility of the
articles, on the plea that the Court had not jurisdiction in the
case, no indictment having been preferred against the party
articled against. A lengthened argument was entered into,
when the Court took time to consider its judgment.
Judgment was given in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, in
the case of Charles James Johns, in which z question was
raised respecting subsequently acquired property. The in-
solvent, a sporting person, had won a large sum from Lord
Ward, a portion of which had been paid into Court. The
insolvent had been twice discharged under the Act, and the
question was whether the money in Court should be distri-
buted under the two estates, or only under the estate in which
the application was made. The Chief Commissioner gave the
decision of the Court, laying down the principle that all
the creditors in the two schedules should participate-in the
fund.

At Lambeth-street George Haskam and James Reeves, two
notorious characters, the former of whom has been fre-
quently tried and convicted, were brought before Mr. Henry
for final examination, on a charge of stealing three bags of
coffee, of the value of twenty pounds, from St. Katharine's
Dock. Both prisoners were fully committed for trial.
It Marylebone a young woman, named Isabella Honey-
man, was charged with having stolen jewellery, and other
property, from 42, Upper Seymour-street, Portman-square,
the residence of Mrs. Phillips and her son, the Rev. H. J.
Phillips, with whom she lived as a servant. The stolen ar-
ticles wese of considerable value. The case was fully esta-
blished, and the prisoner was committed for trial ; but she
will again be brought up before this Court, when it is ex-
pected that other charges will be proved against her.
Yesterday morning a seizure of a private still, together
with a quantity of illicit spirits, was made by the officers of
th. Custom-house, in a house situate in an obscure court
leading out of Bermondsey-street, and two men, named
Temple and Warren, were taken into custody in the still-
room. Temple, however, contrived to escape after he was
brought to Union -hall, and Warren was held to bail in the
amount of 60/. to appear on a future day.

TO THE Emrps OF THE SUN.

Slit—l shall feel oblrge4:-,to any of your readers
learned in constitutional inw, IgrO will resolve an im-
portant problem, viz., , ••
Whether, in the event of:kr:, O'Connell and his " co-
seditionists" (to use the.'--ntocieit -.language of the Times),
being convicted, Sir Rtii#Ft Plegiand Sir James Gtaham
are not liable to be iroientAed for enormous dereliction
of official duty ?
The reason for adopting the affirmative of the propo-
sition is simple. If the ttSgemblinv a " monster meet-
ing," and addressing them in the language Mr. O'Con-
nell has invariably adopted, be an offence against the
Crown, the Constitution, and the security of the common-
wealth, it was as much aft offence at first as at last, and
Ministers, who suffered scores of these acts to be accom-
plished without interference, assuredly deserve impeach-
ment as richly as ever public officers have done since the
days of Alfred.
What should we say, if the Home Secretary, knowing
that A.B. had in January, murdered C.D., should take
no steps to apprehend him, but leave him to slaughter
B.F. in February, G.H. in March, L.T. in April, and so
on to the end of the alphabet .and year, and should in
the last month of it become awake to propriety of
stopping the murderer's career? SlYntld have a
cry through the length and breadth of the lana, he
impeachment of such a Minister?
Either Mr. O'Connell ought to be acquitted, and the
Ministry kicked out for fools —or condemned, and Mi-
nistors impeached for gross neglect of duty.

Policies which

By observing carefully the scale of Additions, it will be per-
ceived that the greatest comparative advantage is derived by those
Assurers whose Policies are upheld by the Company for the longest
period—a result which is produced by the particular principle of
division which has been adopted, the measure of an Assurer's
claim at each period being the number of years the Policy has
existed.

THIS SYSTEM IS SIMILAR TO THAT WHICH IS ACTED
UPON BY THE EQUITABLE SOCIETY IN THE CASE OF
ITS PRIVILEGED POLICY-HOLDERS.

No scheme can be offered conferring greater advantages upon
good lives, and it is particularly suitable to those persons who effect
Assurances with the intention of continuing them fur the benefit of
their families.
GENERAL REGULATIONS iND CONDITIONS.

Being desirous to afford every safe encouragement to the exten.
sion of the system of Life Assurance among all classes, the Direc-
tors make it their Andy to conduct the business of the Company
on the most liberal principles.
