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 £80 per ton be realised for the Shell, and the Pearls collected from the Shell be sold separately, it will pay exceedingly well. The vessels and outfit will be insured, to protect the Company against any unforseen accident, and the promoters have every hope of a successful voyage. The crew will work on lays, as on the 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 language of the 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.

WOLFE'S AROMATIC &CHIE DAM SCHNAPPS, Registered under " Trade Mark 3" Act, 28 Vie. No 9. The extraordinary Sale, wide-spread popularity, and wonderful results of Wolfe's Schnapps prove in disputably that the introduction of a perfectly pure beverage is appreciated by the Australian public. The medical profession being the most competent in science and responsible in society, of all others to form a correct judgment of the medicinal and salutary properties of an article of this kind would not give their unsolicited testimonials in special commendation of Schiedam Aromatic Schsapps were it a preparation of doubtful or even ordinary quality, nor unless they had proved its superior excellence and value in their own practice or experience. ♦ ■' As a means of preventing the disagreeable and often dangerous effects produced upon the stomach ana bowels by a change of water, or in the use of water containing an infusion of decayed vegetable matter, which so often produces that obstinate form of Fever and Ague which so frightfully undermines the consti tntl0 THE SCHIEDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS will be found absolutely infallible, while in cases of Dropsy, Gravel, Obstructions of the Kidneys, Diseases of the Bladder, Dyspepsia, Flatulency of Age and Infancy, and General Debility it is recommended most em phatically by the most distinguished members of the Medical Profession. .'■. ■' . ' The following reliable testimonials have been offered by the Australian Press :— Sydney Morniwi Herald. " In these days when alcoholic liquors are so largely consumed, and consumers are so much in doubt whether their systems are not being gradually impaired by adulteration, it is well that one at least of the popular beverages of the period is reliable as pure—that is Wolfe's Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps. It is some thing to be assured by physicians and other of the scientific cognoscenti that we have in this article a, genuine extract which, taken in moderate quantity and under ordinarily healthy conditions of body, affords a beneficial stimulus to the animal functions ; and, .even if taken in excess, leaves but a minimum of the in evitable evils of abuse. "If it i 3 necessary in the interests of the public to denounce the too common practice of manufacturing noxious compounds as wines and spirits it seem 3 only ust to point to this meritorious exception. Town and Country Journal. "We have in these Schnapps a total absence of fusil oil which, combined with the great purity of all in gredients whence it is extracted, accounts for the unu sually healthy and invigorating quality which have already rendered this latest addition to the alcoholic at so justly celebrated." Belt's Ufe 'in Sydney. " Experience has proved the value of Wolfe s bchie clarn, Aromatic Schnapps as a stimulant at once in vigorating and harmless, and it may be used with much benefit by those requiring a pleasant and effective remedy. The medical officers of the Sydney Infirmary have tested its merits practically in various cases, ana bear willing testimony to its excellence, and we, there fore feel no difficulty in recommending to the notice of our readers the Aromatic Schnapps, not only as a pure and agreeable occasional beverage, but, what is of far more importance, as a really pleasant medicine. 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 erreat value in cardiac and renal affections, and 1 believe, they will eventually supersede all other Spirits in the treatment of the above complaultLlTTON I'ORBES, Resident Physician',, Government Analytical Laboratory ' Melbourne, March 15,1872.

KATES 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 chancre. LOANS. Surrender values are given for Policies of three years standing, or loans granted on security of same.

Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure. lFliat is Nervousness ?— Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge 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 oxitward sign of weak ness. The sufferers are found in both sexes; they often have the bloom of health iipon their cheek; they are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to them has no charms, for", they feel that they cannot enjoy it. AVithout intending it, they annoy other people about the merest frifles ; if they encounter some person unexpectedly tlifcy" feel confused, afraid, and alarmed: the heart beats violently; the hand shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete tremulousness. 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 ne glected. A Strange Spectacle—lt is certainly strange, but not 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; imhappy 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 toproducethissad 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 hygeilic means, such as exercise in the open air, regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath fn-ityW; change of air and scene, as in travelling. If 92* 'St \<' fail, as they often do, what is to be done ? \l^ I The Answer will be fountl by carefully peru^&v \ following Work :- ; irJ Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. 4d. rT" IsF\ Nervous Debility: Its Cause and <&C ; Ac With Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration- ■* to Health.
