AUGUST 12, 1854. glttropolitan glathits. (Reported exclusively for "Tim Passe." I CORN-EXCHANGE —The present week's arrivals of English wheat, coastwise and by laud carriage, have been on a very limited scale. On each day the show of samples has been trifling. On Monday most kinds sold at an advance, compared with that day week, of from Is to 4s per quarter; but on Wednesday and Friday the transactions were confined to imme diets wants, at barely stationary prices. Foreign wheat has been in good supply and moderate request, at 2s to 8s per quarter more money. We have to report a slow inquiry for floating cargoes off Falmouth. The barley trade has continued dull; but we have no actual fall to notice in the quotations. Malt has ruled heavy, on former terms ; but the oat trade has improved, and the value of good sound corn has had an upward tendency. Beans and peas have commanded very little atten tion. Ship flour and American qualities have sold at an advance of 2s per sack and barrel respectively. The imports from America and Spain have been on the increase. EtUnlßß—Wheat, Essex and Kent white, 66s to 795; red, 63a to 60s ; Norfolk and Lincoln red, 62s to 695. Malting barley, —to —; grinding ditto, 32s to 355; distilling, 34s to 365. Malt, 68. to 76a.

This Society is established on the tried and approved principle of Mutual Assurance. The funds are accumulated for the exclu sive benefit of the policy-holders, under their own immediate superintendence and control. The profits are divided annually, and applied in reduction of the current premiums. Polilcy huldeis participate in profits after payment of five annual pre miums. The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the 30th May, 1854, when a Report of the business fur the last year was presented, exhibiting a statement of must satisfactory pro gress. It appeared that the assurances in 1853 considerably ex ceeded those effected in any previous year; the number of policies issued being more than 460, and the annual intone thereon being upwards of 7,5001. It also appeared that, except in 1849, when the visitation of the cholera took place, the claims arising from deaths were, in every year, much below their erti gatamount. Members present at the Meeting were fully satisfied with the Report, and resolved unanimously that a reduction of alb per cent. should be made in the current year's premium pa} able by • all policy-holders now entitled to participate in the profits. Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums fur the first five years. The following Table exemplifies the effect of the present re duction : Age when Amount Assured. ( Assured.

DE JONGH'S LIGHT BROWN COD LIVER OIL. PREPARED for Medicinal Use in the Loffoden Isles, Norway, and put to the Teat of Chemical Analysis. The moat effectual remedy for CONSUMPTION, BRON. CHITIS, ASTHMA, GOUT, CHRONIC RHEUMATISM, and all SCROFULOUS DISEASES. Approved of and recommended by the most distinguished Scientific Chemists, prescribed by the most eminent Medical Men, and supplied to the leading Hospitals of Europe. EXTRACTS FROM MEDICAL AND SCIENTIFIC TESTIMONIALS : "THE LANCET," July 29, 1864. " In the preference of the light brown over the pale oil we fully concur. We have carefully tested a specimen of the light brown cod-liver oil prepared for medical use under the direction of Dr. de Jongh, and obtained from the wholesale agents, MOWS. AMUR, HARFORD, and C0.,77, Strand. We find it to be genuine, and rich in iodine and the elements of bile." " THE MEDICAL CIRCULAR," May 10, 1854. " The pale oil, even when genuine, is deficient to a consider able extent, if not wholly, of the volatile fatty acid, iodine, phos phate of chalk, the cholinic acid, bilifellinic acid, and other elements of bile, which ere found in their normal proportions in the light brown oil. The utmost reliance may be placed upon the experimental researches of Dr. de Jongh, who is one of the most eminent of European chemists; the oil prepared by him enjoys also the additional sanction of the opinion of Baron Liebig and the late Dr. Pereira, iu favour of its genuineness and efficacy. Our own experience practically confirms their judg ment, and we unhesitatingly recommend the light brown oil as the beat for medicinal purposes, and well deserving the 0012 ii• deuce of the profession. BARON LIEBIG. " You have rendered an essential service to science by your researches, and your efforts to provide sufferers with this medi. cane, in its purest and most genuine state, must ensure you tht gratitude of every one who stands in need of its use." DR. JONATHAN PEREIRA. " I know that no one can be better, and few so well, acquainted with the physical and chemical properties of this mede as yourself, whom I regard as the highest authority on the subject The oil which you gave me was of the very finest quality, whe ther considered with reference to its colour, flavour, or chemica properties ; and I am satisfied that for medicinal purposes ne liner oil can be procured."
