This Company is being formed for the purpose of purchasing and'fitting out two or more vessels to_ en gage in the Pearl Fishery and collecting other articles in "Torres Straits and elsewhere. This Fishery ha within the last few months become exceedingly lucra tive, and several gentlemen in Australia have made large sums of money by sending small vessels to the North Coast of Australia to procure the Mother-of- Pearl Shell, which has been sold in Sydney at £200 per ton If, however, even £00 per ton be realised for the Shell, and the Pearls collected from the Shell be sold separately, it will pay exceedingly well.

The crew will work on lavs, as on tlie whaling vessels, to secure the utmost exertion on their part to produce success. The expedition will be in charge of a trust worthy Master Mariner connected with this port, and a well-known gentleman acquainted with the lanona". of tlie natives and the coast will accompany the expedition, and act as supercargo to take charge of all goods for the purpose of trading, and also will take a strict account of everything collected during the voyage. , , ~ „ , Applications for shares to be made at the office of the Secretary, 32, Insurance Secretary pro tern.

Important Testimonials. " Sydney Infirmary, Nov. 11, 1870. " I beg to state that I have, with the permission of Honorary Physicians, given your Schnapps to several patients in our wards. I have no hesitation in stating that I consider your Schnapps a -most excellent Stimu lant and Diuretic, and of great value in caidiac and renal affections, and 1 believe they will eventually supersede all other Spirits in the treatment of the above complaints. LITTCN FORBES, Resident Physician.,, Government Analytical Laboratory, Melbourne, March 15,1872. I have examined a sample of Wolfe's Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps submitted to me for analysis. From the examination I conclude. that this spirit is perfectly free from Fusil Oil, or solid matters ; is distilled from malt only, as a sample of Holland's gin cannot be surpassed. It may therefore be recommended for use in Hospital and private practice as a good aromatic stimulant. — (Signed) William Johnson, Govern ment Analytical Chemist. We have appointed Messrs L. D. Nathan & Co. Sub-Agents for the sale of Wolfe's Schnapps in Auck land, New Zealand.—M. Moss & Co., Sydney, Sole Agents for Australia and New Zealand. Auckland, New Zealand. I certify that I have carefully examined and analysed Wolfe's Aromatic Schnapps, and find the sample given me to be a very strong, pure spirit, free from adultera tion or any deleterious or any offensive matter, and I believe useful in all cases where a pure gin is indicated. I have also submitted the sample to patients who have been accustomed to this description of stimulant, and it has been universally liked and approved of as a strong, pure, wholesome spirit, and as such I can re- I commend it. — Chables F.

RATES OF PREMIUM Are framed as low as are consistent with the due safety of the Society, and its Actuary is calculated to be one of the most competent authorities in England, the Court of Chancery having recently had to avail themselves of his experience in these matters ; and although apparently higher than some offices, assurers should not loose sight of the fact that they receive it back, either in bonuses or in addition to sums assured, and in electing to insure in this Society they also avail themselves of the experience and safety of a concern that time has proved to be secure against all chances. LOANS. Surrender values are given for Policies of three years standing, or loans oranted on security op same.

Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure. : What is Nervousness ?— Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution' and know-ledge of the individual Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard nevousness as more or less an "imaginary complaint;" it is sometimes only believed to be real? when the patient is either dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this—nervous ness is an unnatural condition of the nervous system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompa nied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh and loss of strength ; but in most cases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weak ness. The sufferers are found in both sexe3; they often have the bloom of health upon their cheek ; they are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to them has no charms, for they feel that they cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, they annoy other' people about the merest trifles ; if they encounter some person unexpectedly they feel confused, afraid, I and alarmed: the heart beats violently; the hand shakes when writing, and tlie whole frame at times experiences a complete tremulousncss. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the judgment becomes indistinct, the will capricious and undecided, the tates vitiated, the imagination broods upon unpleasant topics, the spirits are either .very low or very, excited, the ordinary duties of life become, burdensome, society is shunned and business net drlcctcd ■ A Strange Spectacle. —lt is certainly strange, butnoti the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime, of life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may' occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing; all the advantages of education, religion/ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above described; unhappy themselves, they render other people unhappy. Why is this? What cause has operated to change the cheerful, active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, listless, suspicious,' and gloomy misanthrope ? Many cases, or one cause' only, may operate to produce this sad state : the cause may be either mental or physical, or both combined Attempts to cure nervousness by means of ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hvgenic means, such as exercise in the open,air,: regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction; change of air and scene, as in travelling. If all these fail, as they often do, what is to be done ? The Answer will be found by carefully perusing the. following Work :— Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. 4d.
