The principles upon which the business of this' office is Con-
ducted, is to afford :temporary Loans to persons acsnring their
lives with the Company, upon terms calculated with reference
to the amount of the Assurance effected, and the nature of the
security offered for their repayment.. This mode of employing
the capital of the Association, • is- the adoption of means for
augmenting the number of lives assured, and of greatlYin-
creasing the profits beyond those of a Life Assurance Company
only. And this will be found one of the most valUable prin-
ciples of Assurance, on acewnt of _its capability:of being ap-
plied immediately and permanently •to the benefit of the As-
suredhimself, whilst living, as well se to others after decease.

Individuals possessing real or personal property, Officers in
the Army or Navy, Clergymen, Professional men, Merchants,
Tradesmen, and persons of respectability and character, may. if
assured with this Association, obtain advances for periods very
biz from Three Months to any other agreed period, its amounts
of 501. and upwards, upon either real or personal security, to be
approved of-by the Directors, including the security of Policies
effected by parties with this Association, according to their
value at the time of the Loan.

The Directors are persuaded that by combining confidence
with caution, and 'carrying fairly and liberally into effect This
comprehensive system of Loan in connexion with Life Assur-
ance, they will not -only consult the permanent prosperity of
the Association, but at the same time render the Institution

words of mighty power, curdling the heart's blood of
Übaldo, at once transforming the mirror of chivalry
into the recreant knight and the false friend. His emo-
tion is not unobserved by Guido, but Übaldo attributes
it to his fears lest the wrath of Ezzelino should fall on
Guido for daring to form an alliance with the daughter
of the outlaw, and urges him to reconsider his determi-
nation. Guido, however, renews his vows of fidelity to
Elena, .and the scene concludes with a beautiful duct, in
the course of which Stretton was much and deservedly
applauded. The next scene takes place in the hall and
gm den of the palace of Sigifredo. Elena is discovered joy-
ful in the thought that Sigifredo is safe in the strong for-
tress of Belluno, and that the morrow, which will see her
united to guide, the object of her heart's choice, will also
restore her to her fond father's arms. She gives vent
to her. feelings in a beautiful air, " The hope of coming
blessing," to which Miss Adelaide Kemble imparted all
the effect that the highest musical powers cultivated by
study and taste to the utmost pitch of perfection, could
impart. Her manner of giving the passage—
" Rein in no more thy wild delight,
Fond heart with rapture beating;
Come blessed hour of meeting,
Thy lord, thy love is nigh "--
was beautifully characteristic. 1: was the overflowing
of a young impassioned heart, revelling in the anticipa-

ion of " joys- too bright to last." Sigifredo enters, dis-
guised as a pilgrim, hurriedly informs her that Belluno
is fallen, and that he alone of all his band has escaped
the vengeance'of Ezzelino. Footsteps are heard approach-
ing, and Sigifredo has barely time to conceal him-
self, when Übaldo enters, and after a short
parley, in which Elena again rejects his suit,
seizes her, and is forcing her off, when Sigi-
fredo, rushing from his place of concealment, rescues
his daughter from`Ubaldo's grasp, and challenges him to
combat. Übaldo threatens Sigifredo with the heads-
man's axe, and Elena, in agony, falls at Übaldo's feet,
beseeching him to spare her father, and endeavours in
vain to hold him back from calling in his followers to
seize Sigifredo, who lead him off to a dungeon, while
Elena fals senseless into the arms of Übaldo. The trio
and finale, with which this the first act of the opera Con-
cludes, was most effectively given by Miss Kemble and
Leffler, who were, however, but indifferently sup-
ported b) Harrison, who wants voice sulk:lent to give
kill effect to the music of the part, and has not suffi-
cient cultivation to disguise his want of power. The se-
cond act opens in the Palace of Boemondo, who,
informed of Guido's love for Elena, promises
V bald° to spare her father if she will remove
Ow only obstacle to Guido's union with Imberga,
by uniting herself_ to Übaldo. Tortured almost to mad-
ness, she consents to give Übaldo a heart that's break-
ing; warning him at the same time that death will strew
her bridal bed. The hall is cleared, and Guido, who
has been concealed in a secret passage by the crafty
Boemondo, to hear her give her consent, enters. He,
however, will not believe Elena false, in an exquisite
melody, " True as the stars to vesper-clime," gives utter-
ance to his unshaken faith in her fidelity. This air, which
is exactly suited to Stretton's voice, was given with eAqui-
site eipresSion and pathos, and elicited much applause.
The concluding scene of this act is one of the most
gorgeous ever exhibited even at this theatre. It repre-
sents a- magnificent hall, decorated with the in-
signia of Victory, to commemorate the con-
quest of Belluno. lloemondo and Imberga, at-
tended by • Übaldo, Guido, and all the ladies
and Knights. of his Court, enter in grand procession.
Elena is brought in, and commanded by Boemondo to
repeat her promise in the presence of the assembled
Court. She hesitates; but at length overpowered by the
recollection of her father's dangers, she collects all her
energies to enable her to make the self-sacrifice she has
promised. Her agitation ceases—she stands fixed as a
statue of despair; andi in a quiet, low voice, which sounds
unearthly, from its very calmness, declares—
" 'Tis to—Ubaldo—my hand—is given I
I have vowed it."
Guido, in a paroxysm of disappointment, taunts, her with
her faithlessness, little knowing the cause—pledges his
faith to Imberga, and rushes at Übaldo. The at-
tendants interfere to separate then], while Imberga
and Boemondo triumph over the suffirings of the
tortured Elena. The third opens with an oratory in the
Palace of Sigifredo, to whieh Elena has fled to seek con-
solationin prayer. Guido enters, and urges her to fly
with him, as he knows that her lips uttered what her
heart meant not, overawed by the presence of Boemondo.
She is on the point of yielding, when the clock strikes
the hour at which her father was to •be set free. Filial
affection overcomes every other feeling—she tears her-
self from Guido, bidding him raise an eternal barrier be-
tween them, and declaring that she is Übaldo's This
Scene, which is by far the most effective in the opera, was
exquisitely given by Miss Kemble and Stretton, and, as
a matter of course, the concluding duet was encored. In
the next scene we return to Übaldo's palace, where we
find Übaldo in an agony of rage at having discovered the
treachery of Boemondo, who, in violation of his oath, has
caused Sigifredo to be executed in prison at the very hour
he had promised Übaldo to set him free. He calls his re-
tainers together, and leads them forth to vengeance on
the tyrant. In the air and chorus with which this scene
concludes, there was one little snatch of melody, which,.
being within the compass of his voice, was very well given
by Harrison ; but, as a whole, the air is too much for him.
The concluding' scene represents the exterior of the
Cathedral. Elena is discovered anxiously awaiting the
approach of Übaldo and her father. The Cathedral gra-
dually becomes illuminated. The bridal procession of
Guido and Inbcrgapass across the back of the stage, and
enters the sacred edifice. The full-toned organ peals forth,
and voices are heard within chaunting the nuptual hymn.
Elena, heart-broken, sinks on her knees, and prays for
Guido's happiness. Übaldo and his followers enter, and she
rushes to him, and demands her father. He answers, " I
vow to avenge thee." In agony she cries. "My father !
--answer, or kill me." A strain of joyous music is
heard ; she rushes towards the sound, exclaiming,
They rejoice. They, set hint 'free ;". and the bridal
procession of Guido enters. She learns her father's
death, and, snatching a dagger from Übaldo, stabs her-
self. The attendants gather round her, and the curtain
falls. - Our account of the opera has extended to such a
length, that • our remaining space compels us to be
brief in our observations on the merits of the performers.
Miss Kemble has, both as a singer. and an actress, more
than sustained the high character she has ac-.
quired by her perSonation of Norma. Confessedly'
without a rival in the English • musical world,
she has, in Elena Überti, exhibited' histrionic
powers which, since the days of Mrs. Siddons, have-
never been equalled. The part of -Elena, as our readers
perceive, is one admirably adapted for the delineation of
intense passion, and Miss Kemble did more-than justice
to it. The seene with Guido was intensely afketing, and
the tears of the audience bore silent witness to her won-
derful powers. She was admirably supported by Stretton,
who both sung and acted con amortond. Leffler did what
little he had to do, as Sigifredo, admirably. Miss
Kemble was called for, as a matter of course, at the con-
clusion of the opera, and was led forward by Mr. Charles
Mathews, when the whole hOuse, boxes, pit, and gallery,
rose to greet her. The scenery is magnificent, and the
costumes gorgeous in the extreme. The evening's
amusements were concluded by the pantomime, which is
by far the best of the season. The house was full, the
pit being densely crowded long before the rising of the
curtain.

Alt R'S- •LIFE. PILLS
Extract from the Third Series of Cures effected by this
extraordinary Medicine.
SECOND LETTER FROM. AIR. OSBORNE.
" Gentlemen,—l write to inform you that. I have returned
on foot from Liverpool, and many of my old friends here are
indeed astonished at my altered appearance and activity. I
must also inform you that my brother-in-law, Mr. W. J.
Barres, of this town, has, through my wonderful restoration to
life and sound health, made.use of Parr's Life Pills, and their
effects on him have, if possible, been-even more miraculous than
on myself. He had suffered from a most distressing asthma,
cough,
Sze., for above seven years, but, after using one box at
2
is quite a new being. The most remarkable part of
his case is this—his finger and toe nails, which had become so
diseased that they were quite unsightly', have been replaced. by
new and perfect ones. This has been considered by many who
9hd.,
have visited him as a curiosity and wonder ; for my part, I have
ceased to wonder at any cure effected by Old Parr. I:continue
to enjoy the best of health and spirits, and am yours very re-
spectfully, JOHNOSBORNE,
" 14e of her Majesty's 52d Regiment of Foot, dis-

charged incurable by the Regimental Doctors.

In no one instance has this in,,aluable Medicine failed, when
duly persevered in, to afibrd relief, even in the oldest and most
inveterate cases; if any, from want of confidence or fickleness,
discontinue their use to, early, and thus leave unaccomplished
what they desired, are they to attribute the fault to the medi-
cine? Certainly not; but to their own love of change and
want of patience. Celsus has justly remarked, that ." Diseases
slog• in their progress go off very slowly; and that time is ne-
cessary to remove the deeply-rooted evils which time has occa•
sloped." This should be borne in mind by all suffering from
disease deeply- rooted in the system, to impart patience andlter-
severance in the u.c of this medicine; and where the disorder
seems obstinate, they may. rest fully assured that time will effect
a radical and perfect cure.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to
the public, ten thousand copiei have been exhausted -'since its
first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail 'of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highty:Ein,i
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stmed;ilslthe
result of very ample and daily increasing- experienen israktelass
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reasau,-,beoystol4eotl/
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with inditrer-
elm., by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial'u
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders,; the.
authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex-
elusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so
. doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact n in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseasel, which arise
from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain' baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is no member of society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
• The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave' in cense-
quere_te of some disease,_ which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
heart disease, tidies, &c., the sole arid- exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by
youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
3'11., PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporaritly at
least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will,
by perusing this work, be directed and very much
assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con-
cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the
health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to he com-
promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will
here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of
this moral labyrinth, anti a standard whereby to judge, when
delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young
charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus
ho will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.
The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once
concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will
here be directed as to the nature, of those habits to which
youth is addicted ; he will also lie enabled to point out the dis-
astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not
relinquished.
Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their
residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London.
Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in
the' detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint,
the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occupation in
life-of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by

whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the
most inviolable secrecy may be relied on. •

A POLICEMAN DROWNED IN THE LONDON
Dom—We regret to have to record another case of a
police constable losing his life in the London Dock, the
second instance of the kind since the introduction of the
metropolitan police into the place. On Friday night
.Thomas Everett, a police constable, No. 43 11, was sta-
tioned on the South Quay, a very exposed and dangerous
place, and 1,11.1 s seen off► his beat at eleven o'clock by In-
spector White, of the Thames division, who spoke to him.
At twelve he was missing, and could nowhere be found.
The drags were immediately procured, and the bason
Was dragged, but it was not until eight o'clock yesterday
morning that his body was taken out of the water under
the corner of the South Quay-, where he is supposed to
have fallen in, and where there is no rail or protection to
prevent any one walking into the dock on dark nights.
'The body was removed to the watch-house for the Coro-
ner's inquest. Everett was a young man and greatly es-
teemed in the force.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.
Mercadante's.grand opera,Mena Überti, was produced at
this theatre on Saturday.evening,'fiir the first time in this
country, the character of Elena Überti being sustained
by I\liss Adelaide Kemble. The scene is laid in the city
of Feltre, in Italy, in the latter half 'of -the thirteenth
century, when the feud between- the Guelphs and the
Ghibelline; was at its height. At the period when the
actifiii of the opera is supposed to comMelleo, the Ghib.,4line
party, in Fcltre were in 3 the ascendant, BoemOndo (Mr.
C.'White), the Viceroy of Ezzelino the Fifth, having ex-
pelled Sigifredo Count Überti (Mr. Leffler), the father
of Elena and chief of the Guelphs, from- the city and
Weed him to take refuge in Belluno, leaving Elena in
Feltre. Elena is betrothed to Count Guido San-
vitale (Mr. Stretton), a Guelph Nobleman, who
has, 'however, recently joined the Ghibellines, and
with whom Boemondo is desirous of forming
an alliance by giving him Imberga (Miss Grant), his
daughter, in marriage, making this alliance the condition
on which the estates Of Guido, forfeited for his adhesion
to the Guelphs, are to be restored to him.- Guido, how-
ever, is faithful to Elena, and forMs a plan for marrying
her in secret, and flying to her father, thus sacrificing
his ambition to his love. Count Übaldo di Collalto (Mr.
W. Harrison), a Ghibelline Noble, • and friend of Boe-
mondo, also loves Elena, but has been rejected by her,
and is; in consequence, a prey to the deepest melancholy.
He and Guido have long been friends, although each is
ignorant of the love of the other for Elena. At this
period of the story the action of the opera commences..
The first scene is a magnificent hall in the Palace of
Count Übaldo,- who is discovered in an inner apartment
sitting eti:l>Consolately at a table. His friends and re--
•tainers, who fill the hall, after lamenting in the opening
chorus -- that winter's blight should fall on valour's early
years," endeavour in vain to cheer him. He rises, and
abruptly dismisses them, and immediately afterwards
Guido enters; and after expressing his abhorrence of the
alliance Which Boemondo would force upon him, demands,
in .the name of their friendship, the aid of Übaldo to
secure the means off` flying from Feltre with the lady
of his love. 'Ubaldo, with the frankness of a
soldier, immediately promises hiS assistance; and de-
mands the; name of the sweet saint to whom he is
soldier. Guido answers in two words—Elena Überti

UNITED STATES.

EXTRACTS FROM. AMERICAN PAPERS
ALTERATION -OF .THE CONSTITUTION.
IN SENATE, WASH INGTON, DEC. 9.
Mr. Clay asked leave to introduce three separate joint
Resolutions for the amendment of the Constittition of the
United States. Each of the three would he found to have
the" same-object, viz.:—the restriction of Executive power,
and keeping it within the pale of wholesome restraint.
His object was at this time simply to present the resolu-
tions and let thein have their first and second reading.
The resolutions were then introduced, and had their
first and second reading, as follows :
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America, in congress assembled
(two-thirds of bOth Houses concurring), That the fol-
lowing article be proposed to the Legislatures of the
several States as an amendment to the Constitution of
the United States ; which, when ratified by three-fourths
of the said Legislatures, shall be valid as part of the
Constitution : . •

No Senator or Representative shall, during the term
or fraction of a term for which he was elected, be ap-
pointed to) any civil office under the authority of the
United States.

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
(two thirds of both Houses concurring), That when a
Bill which shall have passed the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States shall be returned
by the President, with his objections to his approba-
tion and signatures if upon its reconsideration, it shall
again pass each, House; by a majority of all the Members
belonging to such House, notwithstanding the President's
objections, it shall become a law; and the requisition by
the existing Constitution of two-thirds of caell'House
again to pass the Bill such case is hereby annulled.
If any Bill shall be presented to the President within a
period less than ten days (Sundays included) from the
termination of the session of Congress during which it
shall have passed, and shall not be returned by him at
that session, it shall be his duty to return it within the
three first days of the succeeding-session. If he should
not so return it, the Bill shall become a law; and if he
return it with his objections to his approbation and sig-
nature n ithia the time herein required, the two Houses
of Congress shall proceed to consider it, in like manlier
as if it had been returned during the :session at which it
had passed. And if, upon such re-consideration, it shall
again pass each House by a majority of all the members
belonging to such House, notwithstanding the President's
objections, it shall become a law.
Resolved-by the Senate and House of Representatives,
the United States of America in Congress assembled,

(two-thirds
.of both Houses concurring), That the Se-
cretary, or other head, by whatever denomination he may
be called, of the Treasury of the United StateS, and the
Treasurer of the United States shall be, :respectively,
annually appointed by a joint vote of the Senate and
House of Representatives, by ballot or viva voce, as the
two Houses may severally resolve. When appointed,
either of them may be removed by a concurrent vote of
the two Houses, separately given, but neither of them
shall be removeable by the President of the United
States. Congress may provide k law for the ease of a
vacancy occurring in either of these offices between the
periods of the annual appointments.
FINANCES OF THE UNITED STATES.—A Bill has been
reported in the House of Representatives for twelve years'
extension of the term for which the unexpended residue
of the twelve million loan may be taken. The same Bill
contains also a provision for an additional loan of five
millions of dollars on the same terms, which is under-

stood to be intended as a substitute for the re-issue, as
proposed in the annual Treasury Report, of an equiva-
lent amount of the Treasury notes now outstanding.
This Bill, therefore, proposes to provide altogether for
something more than ten millions of the estimated de-
ficit of fourteen millions two hundred thousand dollars
in the ways and means of 1842.
(From the Baltimore Patriot).
REPUDIATION IN INDlANA.—Resolutions have been
introduced into both Houses of the Legislature of In-
diana, "repudiating so much of the State debt oflndiana
as has been incurred by the sale of State Bonds for which
no consideration has been received, in consequence of the
failure or fraudulent conduct of the purchasers thereof ;
but, at the same time, acknowledging, in all time to
come, the valid obligation of all her liabilities outstand-
ing, for which she has received the proper consideration
agreed upon. One of the resolutions provides for the
ascertainment, by the Fund Commissioner, of the num-
bers, dates, amounts, and other descriptions of the bonds
referred b , and for their publication in certain cities of
the Union and of Etkropc, as repudiated bonds."
The introduction of these resolutions, and the seeming
favour with which they are received, by the Members of
tin Legislature, taken in connection with the proceed-
ings of public meetings, recommending this course, and
remarks of the newspapers countenancing such a pro-
ceeding, may well excite fears that Indiana, like Missis-
sippi, is about to adopt a course inconsistent with her
honour and her honesty.
MEMPHIS, TENN., DEC. 7.--Tuz JUDICIARY OF MISSIS-
sirm—A novel scene, and one which we.ytrust ray never
again be exhibited in an American Court Room, was presented
on Monday week last at holly Springs, at the opening of, or
rather in the attempt to open, the December Term of the
Marshal Circuit Court. There seems to have been a regular
squabble between Messrs. Ruling and Howry for the judicial
-robes. The old Judge (Huling), who contends that there was
no vacancy, and consequently that the late election was null
and void, refused to recognise the Judge elect, but proceeded
.as usual to take his scat on the bench. The new Judge
(Howry) also made his appearance, and claimed his seat. Then
followed the farce of each claimant ordering the other to gaol,
while the Sheriff and Clerk very properly refused to obey ei-
ther. The lawyers " put in their jaw," and for a while there
was every prospect of a very pretty little bit of a row between
those whose especial duty it is to maintain the " majesty of the
"Jaw." The result is, there is no Court to be held this term,
and the Supreme Court of this State will have to determine
between the parties.—Enquirer.
GREAT ROBBERY AT ST. Louis.--The following is a copy
of the St. Louis New Era, extra, of Tuesday last :—The
steamboat Patrick Henry, from Cincinnati, was lying off the
sort this morning, waiting for officers to come on board and
execute a search of passengers, in consequence of the robbery of
the clerk's office the night before last. We understand that the
outside door of the office was broken open while the clerk was
sitting in the social hall, and the drawer rifled of two packages
containing 4,900 dollars, all in notes of the Miami Exporting
Company, and sent by Mr. Sigerson, of Cincinnati, to Mr.
Harrison, of Alton, addressed to the care of Simonds and Mor-
rison, of this city. The robbery was discovered shortly after-
ward?, and prompt measures taken to prevent any person from
leaving the boat until a search was made. The cabins and
deck were crowded with passengers. and we apprehend there is
very little chance for the yecovery of the money.—P.S. The
search here has been entirely ineffectual, no traces of the money
being found.

WESTERN RAILROAD AHOY. !—The Bostonians are down
upon-us ! Their locomotive engine came " puffing and blow-
ing" into Greenbush yesterday. Albany is now united to
Boston by continuous and unbroken links of railroad. The
first train of cars for passengers and freight, for Boston " and
a market," leaves to-morrow morning.

THURSDAY NIGHT.—IIIIIIOIS and Indiana Stocks sold
to-day at -some advance. Those of the former State,
Sixes of 1870, closed at 19 1-2, an advance of 1 1-2 Per,
cent. :33,000 Indiana Bonds were sold at 19 1-4, an
advance of 1-4 per cent. In other stocks there was not
much done, or any material variations. Delaware and
Hudson, however, advanced 1 1-2 per cent.
On the general state of the Stock or Money Market
since the departure of the last steamer, it is impossible
to say anything satisfactory. The dividends on Penn-
sylvania State Stocks, now becoming due, will no doubt
be paid. For those of Maryland falling due on the Ist
proximo, we are sorry to say no provision has been made.
