A T present the popular opinion is, that the natural duration hA-°f life is 70 years, but this is contrary to both sacred and history. I his opinion is, 110 doubt, founded on a rois- inn ^standing of the passage of the 9Uth Psalm, where it is stated, that the days of our years are threescore years )JveQ, and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, their strength labour and sorrow." Now, it must be re- ^bered, that this Psalm is ascribed to Moses, and that he is t/ 'peaking of the lives of men in general, but of what was ijUrring among the Israelites in the wilderness. They died .1 L. Qatara! ueatb, but were cut off for their sin and unbelief Judicial dispensations..

"This work. a TENTH edition of which is now presented to the public-ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance-bas been very much improved and enlarged by the addition qf a more extended and clear detail of general princi- ples, as also by the insertion of several new and highly interest- ing cases. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the longs, putting on all the outward appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful habits, fully prove that the principle of the division of labour is nowbere more applica- ble than in medical practice.

Messrs. Curtis's work, called MANHOOD, is one of the few books new coming before the public on such a subject, which can lay claim to the character of being strictly profes- sional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it in nlaable. "-M.gnet. The perusal of Messrs.

Delcrolx and Co., who are equally incompetent to ascertain the danger of what they extol as Delcroix's Cosmetics," ike ai they are to discover what might be useful. These worthless imitations are, for the sake of exorbitant profit, foisted upon the public as genuine, by Per- fumers and Hairdressers having the appearance of respecta- bility, well knowing them to be gross impositions, possessing none of the highly appreciated qualities of the original. 1o prevent such fraudulent practices, the Nobility and Gentry of the United Kingdom are invited to send their orders direct to Messrs. Delcroix and Co., 158, New Bond street, who, to protect the far-famed celebrity of their Establishment, will forward them free of cariiage, and on tha same terms as they supply the Nobility in town. With the view also, of offering a furthei protection against the insidious and unprincipled at- tacks of those individuals usurping the title, and endeavouring to undermine the acknowledged fame of DELCHOIX and CO.'S ORIGINAL ARTICLES, they respectfully caution their illustrious Patrons against being misled by placards, &c., announcing a Removal," which the unwary would believe was that of Delcroix and Co., but which, is, in reality, the removal of J. Delcroix and Co.'s discharged servants.

CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of lite, and is exclusively directed to the cure of such com- "s plaints as arise from a disorganization ot the Generative Sys- tem, whether constitutional or acquired, loss of sexual powf and debility arising from syphilis; and is calculated to affotd decided relief to those who by early indulgence in solitary habits have weakened the powers of their system, and fallen into a state ot chronic debility, by which the constiiution is lefi in a deplorable state, and that nervous mentality kept up which places the individual in a state of anxiety for the re, mainder of life. The consequences arising from this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical result, but branch to moral ones leading the excited, deviating mind into a fertde field of seductive error, into a gradual and total degradation of manhood, into a pernicious application of those inherent rights which nature wisely instituted lor the preservation ol her species, bringing on premature deciepitude, and all the habitudes of old age. Constitutional weakness, sexual debility, obstinate gleets, excesses, irregularity, obstruciions of certain evacuations, tot/) impotency and barrenness are effectually removed by this in- valuable medicine.

Assurances mau eit hor be effected by Parties on their own Lives, or by Parties interetted therein on the Lives of others- '!he effect of an Assurance on a person's own life is to create at once a Property in Reversion, which can by no other means he realised. Take, for instance the case of a person at the age of Thirty, who by the payment of X.5 3s 4d to the Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once possessed of a hequeathable property, amounting to one thousand pounds, sub- ject only to the condition of his continuing the same payment quarterly during the remainder of his life, a condition which may be fulfilled bt the mere saving of eight shillings weekly in his expenditure. Thus, by the exertion of a very slight degree of economy-such indeed, as can scarcely be felt as an inconve- nience, he may at once realise a capital of one thousand pounds, which he can bequeath or dispose of in any way be may think proper.

No housekeeper ought to be without it, and captains of ships would find it invaluable. The Proprietor, an old Officer in the Army, has had num berless opportunities of witnessing the genuine and speeds good effects of this excellent oil, and gives the following con- densed form of a few of the late real and voluntary testimo nials, being totally void of the usual puffing system of letter- whtch he trusts will be sufficient to establish the superior wortl of this domestic remedy, as each person will feel pleasure in answering any enquiries.

R DRAKE, in announcing his REMOVAL (rendered • unavoidable by the improvements now in prog.ress in Broad-street) trusts his many friendly supporters will accep a respectful expression of his gratitude for their now genera!)) long ceurse of Patronage; to deserve a continuance of which will be his future care, by the employment of Wroikmen of su- perior ability in each department of the business; a system during some years to which the Advertiser, probably, has been mainly indebted for the honour of the orders of several Country Bankers, and three of the eminent Public Companies which have had their origin in this city. The altered character of this Business from competition, renders a few words necessary on the subject of Prices, and first with respect to the minor items of Wedding, Visiting, Professional, and Trade Carda, (to his specimens of which R. D. earnestly invites inspection) it should be understood that they are of both kinds, either Plain or Enamelled, bought of the Manufacturers at fiom 25 to 50 per cent. below the charge for first qualities and that as used in the Commercial Articles of Invoice and Acrount Heads Circulai Advice Letters, Bills of Enchange and Lading, Medical Labels, S^c., WRITING PAPERS, in the.scale of quality, vary to this full extent; whilst the labour of Journeymen Engravers and Printers, acco:dmg to their ability, is paid tor as it merits at even far wider rates of wages. So variously may the public fver be charged and R. Draki flatters himself that his scale of Puces will thus be found quite as low as those of any of his neighbours, or of the London aud Birmingham travelling firms. n- To facilitate Orders by Post-a Pattern Tablet containing Ten Specimens of names, in vanous characters, Engraved and Piinted on one large Card, enamelled and handsomely em. bossed, is now published, which may be obtained of the Adver- nser, prepaid, by leturn of post, upon remittance of three Stamps for the Specimens and Postage. J. IMPORTANT TO FARMERS & GRAZIERS. GROWTH OF WOOL. THOMAS BIGG, Chemist, &c., No. 15, Craw- ford-street, Portman-square, London, begs to call the attention of Farmers and Graziers to his valuable SHEEP-DIPPING COMPOSITION, or effectually destroying the tick, lice, and all other insects aijuiious to the flock, pieventing the alarming attacks of fly and shall, and cleansing and purtfying the ikiD. thereby greatly 11 0 improving the wool botu in quantity and quality and highly ontrtbuting to the general health of the animal. He trusts, from the established teputation of his composition, which has <ow stood the test of several seasons, and has been universally approved, that he may confidently rely on its continued use from year to year, by those friends and patrons who support Ie is ambitious to maintaiu and whose orders shall at all times iave his best attention. Whilst it cannot be denied that the dipping of store sheep and' ambs is very imoortant, a little attention will show that even diose to I e fatied will derive benefit, inasmuch as by destroy- ing the tick, &c. (which are known to harass and irritate the uiimal), they are more likely to go on well. They may be lipped throughout the year during mild weather; but, for conomy s sake, and particularly to guaid against the fly, the vhole flock ( no kind of sheep whatever on the farm excepted) -.hould be submitted to the operation during the monthol July, ■>r within a month after shearing time. In cilnsequence of the serious lossessome have sustained from 'he use of other preparations of a dangerous nature in dressing :heir sheep, the proprietor of the above composition begs to as- ,ure all flock masters and breeders of sheep that no injury can esu It from the use of his preparation, if performed according "I the printed directions in proof of which he begs to observe that Mr. John Matson, an extensive breeder in the Isle of "heppy, publicly stated, at the Smithfield Club Show of 1839, hat during the last three or four years, he had dipped about 10,000 sheep with this composition, and had not lost^ne.

I have seen the husband since (yesterday, May 2nd, 1842), and he told me the same exactly, and moreover says, he never takes any other medicine. This, i can assure you, is not a solitary instance.
