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 ; ami, even if taken in excess, leaves but a minimum of tne in evitable evils of abuse. ... .

RA.TES 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 securo against all chances.

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 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 cliarge 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.

What 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. Ihe 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, lo.ssof flesh and loss of strength ; but in most cases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weak- i ness. The sufferers are found in both sexes; 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, and alarmed: the heart beats violently r ; the hand . shakes when writing, and the whole frame at tunes experiences a complete tremulousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the j 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- S !l Strange Spectacle.— It is certainly strange, but npt.. ■ the less true, that perfectly sane persons m 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 nercoumess by means of ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fnutless that the leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygenic means, such as exercise in the open air,, regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath fnction; change of air and scene, as in travelling. If all these fail, as they often do, what is to be doric ? The Answer will be found by carefully perusing the . following AVork :— ' i_ '~ Ninth Edition, Post Free, ISj id.
