ACCIDENTS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION. £1,001) IN CASE OF DEATH, OR A FIXED ALLOWANCE OF £8 PER WEEK IN THE EVENT OF INJURY, may be secured by an Annual Payment of £3 for a Policy in the RAILWAY PASSENGERS' ASSURANCE COMPANY. A special Act provides that persons receiving compensation from this Company are not barred thereby from recovering full damages from the party causing the injury ; an advantage no other Company can offer. It is found that ONE PERSON in every FIFTEEN is more or less injured by Accident yearly. This Company has already paid as compensation for Accidents £27,988. Forms of Proposal and Prospectuses may be had at the Corn. pang's Offices, and at all the principal Railway Stations, where, also, Railway Accidents alone may be insured against by the Journey or year.

JAY w ou ld respectfully announce that great economymey be achieved by PURCHASING MOURNING at their Establishment. Their Stone of Family Mourning is, perhaps, the largest in Europe. Mourning Costume of every description is kept ready-made, and can be forwarded in town or country at a moment's notice.

JAY have the honour to announce they have imported their PATTERN MANTLES from Paris, and are consequently now prepared to Show some very elegant Shapes, trimmed with Crape, also the same Shapes in Black, Lavender, Grey, and Violet, for ladies who are not in mourning. TH ie. LONDON GENERAL MOURNING WAREHOUSE, 947, 249, 251, Regent-street—JAY'S. "It may be u well to remember thatblack is likely to continue the favourite colour throughout the season, and the sparkling jet trimmings and ornaments give to such mantles a liveliness that renders them indescribably auractive.' —Morning Past. BLACK SlLKS.—Messrs. JAY respectfully invite the attention of all who require BLACK SILKS to their extensive STOCK, bought at Lyons in December last, and during the late monetary crisis. These Silks are 25 per cent. cheaper than if they had to be purchased at the present time. In December Messrs. Jay gave large orders in Lyons fur Half Mourning Silk, to be remcly for this season. Many of these Half Mourning Silks are of richer textures than ordinarily worn, and are of the most beautiful shades of lavender, grey, and mauve. But the importers have not neglected to furnish themselves with patterns also of less ostentatious pretensions. THE LONDON GENERAL MOURNING WAREHOUSE, Nos. 247, 249, and 261, Regent•street.—JAY'S. MILLINERY FOR MOURNING WEAR. Messrs. JAY have the honour to announce their SHOW ROOMS are supplied with their periodical STOCK of MIL LINERY, HEADDRESSES, dm., from Paris. They believe their Millinery Department will display a greater originality of taste this season than they have usually been enabled to ex hibit. --- THE LONDON GENERAL MOURNING WAREHOUSE, 247,249, and 231, Regent•street. " Even the Messrs. Jay, whose house is almost eicluslvely de. voted to mourning and half mourning, are annually necessitated to engage a lady of accomplished taste from some leading house in Paris. '—Morning Herald. THREE GUINEAS AND A HALF !- At a time when the price of Unmanufactured Silks is so high, and also is advancing, it will seem almost incredible that RICH FRESCH SILK DRESS may be had for Three Guineas and a Half I It must, however, be admitted that this advantage is a very exclusive one. Messrs. Jay had the good fortune to make large purchases at Lyons during the late monetary crisis, and the Rich Silk Dresses at the prices named above do not average more than half that which is usually charged for articles of a similar quality and design.
