COUN'T'Y }IRE OFFICE, iitt:EnT-waster.—As the present unexampled rage for new Insurance Companies occasions the public attention to be engaged by various attractive nromisee, it may not be improper to remind the friends of the COUNTY FIRE OFFICL what been performances. The County Fire Office has beewn established upwards of sera:item yew, ,during which time sixteen hundred sufferers have been indemr,ified, and only one claim has been brought into a Coln of Law, namely, that of the Thurtells. Ratans to the amount of 4'2,0001. have been paid to all persons who have continued insured seven years, upon annual as well a upon septennial Policies, and whether they have been Claimants for losses, Of otherwise—an important advantage which nu other Insuranse Office existing has afforded. By viOlact and prudent management, the County Office grew rich dune% the years which were favourable for Insurance busi ness, and in this advantage, persons who now insure participate. It ought also to be known, that since the establishment of the Coast? Fire Office. besides many which have been carried on as losing concerns: no less then eighteen New Insurance Offices have broken up. Several of these, which were announced under high Patronage, and with the most captivating promises, have expired in total in solvency, and left the disappointed Claimants in fruitless litigation with their Trustees and Directors. It IS not difficult to anticipate what must be the fate of the numerous new Offices which are now proposed ; and now that their funds are not improvable, at half their (trifler rate of interest, are out.bidding each other in extrava gant promisee upon reduced means. Those who are aware of the roe confusion and misery which have resulted from the numu fad. ures of insurance Adventures--and the probability that such failures will soon recur more extensively than ever—will not hesi tate to choose, between realized benefits and untried promises. . .

NAMES WATER COMPANY.—At a MEETING T bald the Nth of October, Inl, at the Albion Tavern, Ableni pts4treet, fur the purpose of " considering the expediency of IMF Vlbliahing a Company for supplying the Metropolis with rare Water from the River 'Thames." .. it was resolved--- net It hes long been matter of just complaint throughout the erstroptlia, that the supply of water is of inferior mislay fur do. rustic use, besides being uncertain, and very genteelly insufficient foe the ordinary consumption. That this uncertainty and irsnfficieney have occasioned numerous arid horny losses of property, by reason of the imptssibility of ob. Paining a supply of water in cases of fire, for many hours after the arrival of engines. That it is most essential to the safety of the inhabitants of this sat metropolis, that there should be a boundless and constant supple of water, end equally so to their comfort and health that it alleluia be of unexceptionable purity. That in consequence of the great intense of population in the weighbourboed of London and Westminster. and the establishment of manufactories of various kinds on the batiks of the Thames, by which the stream is constantly polluted and rendered unwholesome. k is impossible to draw a supply of pure eater from any part of the river near to the metropolis. . . . That Mr. Philip Taylor, having laid before this meeting the re mit of the surveys, and the estimate which he has prepared by order of the pmmeters of this undertaking, it is the opinion of this meeting, that, by tile adoption of the plat; proposed by him, a boundless supply of water, drawn fmni a part of the river Thames so distant as to preclude the possibility of pollution. may be fur nished even to the attics of the highest situations in the metro.. piths, that in the event of fire that supply will always be instantly available in every part of the town, and may he carried in an over whelming column to the top of the highest houses. even without the aid of fire-engines; and further, that it appears likely that this plan may he carried into execution at an expense which would en able the Company to furnish the supply upon terms in no case ex ceeding those of other Companies, and in many cases. and particu larly where the water is carried to any considerable height, at much lower rates than are now charged, and also secure to the Proprietors a liberal return for the eapital to be investtd. That application be made to Parliament, at the next Session, for an Act to incorporate a Joint Stock Company, under the title of " The Thames Water Company." to carry into effect these im portant objects. That the Capital of the said Company be 730,0001., to he raised by transferrable shares of 1001. each, with power to increase the tame; and that a deposit of 21. per share be paid at the time of inbatibing; and that Alears. Glyn, Mills, Hallifax, Glyn, and Co, and Sir Walter Stirling, Bart. and Co., be authorized to re tort the same. That the C..)IICIFII‘ of the Company be managed by Twenty-four Directors, to he litrenfter chosen by the body of Proprietors. That Mr. Philin Taylor be appointed Engineer to the Company, tad that he be requested forthwith to prepare the estimates and de- Udis which are farther recesrary. That it be referred to a Committee of Management to investigate She Nether deitil,atid eattatates, and to take such other steps as MN/ appear to them tbe necessary. That the followin; Gentlemen do form such Committee, with pewee to add to thei: numbers:— ir Edward Banks Win. Routh, Esq. nom:. Brunton, Esq. Edmond W.

Sole Proprietor of the AMERI -1 CATS SOOTHING SY RC P for Children Cutting their Teeth, removed from 94, Newman-street. to 28. York-place, City. road, London, begs leave to caution Mothers and Nurses, at a critical season, like the present, when children are teething, the utmost attention ought to be paid to them, particularly as the Measles and Chin-cough are so prevalent. If the irritation of the gums comes with any other disorder very few infants recover. Mothers ought never to be without the AMERICAN IOTH ING SYRUP in the Nursery ; for if a child awakes in the night with pains in its gums, this valuable 31sdicine applied, will un media:ely open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent fevers snd convulsions ; for should it come in competition with any other disorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes. To be had, wholesale and retail, as above, and of all principal Medicine Venders in Town and Country, ma 2s. 94. per bottle. N.B. None are genuine, unless signed on the Stamp with Mrs. Johnson's own hand-writing, as there are leveret spurious sorts. VALUABLE FREEHOLD FARM, WEST TILBURY, ESSEX.

SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so enrap tured his auditors with the subject, that the married men flew to their wives, and the bachelors hastened to be wedded; and, " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name in nature. The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the deside ratum of our enjoyment ; teeming not only with happiness on earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bliss hereafter. Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passicns, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such atte .lion are attributable many of those hapless instances, which, while they excite the commiseration of the be holder, excite in the sufferer regret and self-reproach. Luxurious habits will effemtnize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but excess of every kind will weaken the system. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope —energy . , muscular strength—felicity ; nor will our advances appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the multi plied proofs of twenty years' successful exprience. The felicity of married life is sometimes disturbed by the sus pension of those blessings which should endear it—for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved into healthfulness and vigour. In every ease we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with Weft. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empiric from the position an presumptuously taken up, we deviate from general prin ciples with less hesitation ; and confident in our own honourable integrity as 31embers of the College of Surgeous, we refer the suf fering community of eithse sex (especially those entering into ma trimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendance is given for personal consultation ; and letters from the country are imme diately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, how ayes distant.

The corvette had detained her in Quills, but rite Viceroy requested her release to take despatches to lama. She sailed in the afternoon, after dark, stood in towards the corvette, and was perceived cont. ing in a way to rake her : to the astonishment of the French Clip tam, she flied on him, and attempting le board, was beaten off ; then bore up, and tried to escape. The corvette had seventeen hours' chase to get up with her. There is some fear that .the French will release her, though the Captain is a mere pirate. The Vigia, you have already been advised, is retaken. The only pri vates on the coast, that we know of, is the Binge, a very tuna!l brig, formerly .the Lancashire Witch : we doubt her doing tuucn damage, being a yery inferior vessel to the Quin:Anent'. The Fly, sloop of war ; American schooner, Dolphin ; Congnesa, Peruvian brig; and United States frigate, are looking out for her. We are assured that the Tartar came from Callao, and cruised two days at sea to pick up and detain these privateers. We have no intelli game yet of any Spanish squadron being on this side the Horn.

To Ma - Aquae THE _COMPARATIVE LIGHT GIVEN BY Laura oa CANDLES.—PIace them a few inches asunder, and a few feet or yards from a screen of white paper, or a white wall. On holding a small card near the wall, two shadows will be percept ible on it, the darker one by the in terception of the brighter light, and the lighter shadow by the interception of the lesser light. Either bring the fainter light nearer, or rt move the brighter ?lather from the card, till both shadows appear exactly alike, of which the eye is a very 'good judge. The square of the distance of each light from the wall or screen, gives the ratio of its illumi nating power. If an arp!and flame, for example, and a candle, stand at the distance of ten feet and four feet re spectively, when their shadows are of equal intensity we have 10. and 4. or 100 and 16, or 61 and 1, for the relative quantities of light.

DESCRIPTION OF QUEEN ELIZABETH. Much has been written respecting " England's Maiden Queen ;" there is not one of our native chroniclers gives such a striking picture of her Court, as is conveyed in the following description, by a German traveller. It is trans lated from a rare work, entitled, " Itinerarium Gertreamitr, Angkr, ; script um a Paulo Renfznera, J. C. Breda, 1641. " We arrived next at the Royal Palace of Greenwich, reported to have been originally built by Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, and to have received very magnifi cent additions from Henry VIII. It was here Elizabeth, the present Queen, was born, and here she generally re sides, particularly in summer, for the delightfulness of its situation. We were admitted by an order Mr. Rogers had procured from the Lord Chamberlain, into the presence chamber, hung with rich tapestry, and the floor, after the English fashion, strewed with bay, through which the Queen commonly passes in her way to the chapel. At the door stood a gentleman dressed in velvet, with a gold chain, whose office was to introduce to the Queen any per son of distinction, that came to wait on her. It was Sun day, when there is usually the greatest attendance of nc bility. In the same hall, where the Archbishop of Can terbury, the bishop of London, a great many Counsel lors of State, Offie.•rs of the Crown, and Gentlemen, who waited the Queen's coining out, which she did, from her own apartment, when it was time to go to prayers, attended in the following manner :—First were Gentlemen, Barons, Earls, Knights of the Garter, all richly dressed, and bare headed : next came the Chancellor, bearing the Seals, in a silk purse, between two, one of which carried the royal sceptre, the other the sword of state, in a red scabbard, stud ded with gold fleurs-de-lis, the point upwards ; next came the Queen, in the Stith year of her age (as we are told), very majestic ; her face o blong, fair, but wrinkled ; her eyes small, yet black and plasant ; her nose a little hooked, her lips narrow, and her teeth black (a defect the English seem subject to, from their too great use 9f sugar). 'e She had in her ears two very rich pearls, with drops ; she wore false hair, and that red ; upon her head she had a small crown, reported to have been made of some of the gold of the celebrated Lunebourg-table ; her bosom was uncovered, as all the English ladies have it, till they marry; and she had on a necklace of exceeding fine jewels; her hands were small, her fingers long, and her stature neither tall nor low ; her air was stately, her manner of speaking mild and obliging. That day she was dressed in white silk, bordered with pearls of the size of beans, and over it a mantle of black silk, shot with silver threads ; her train was very long, the end of it borne by a Marchioness; in i stead of a chain, she had an oblong collar of gold and Jewels. As she went along, in all this state and magnifi came, she spoke very graciously, first to one, then to an other (whether foreign Ministers, or those who attend for different reasons), in English, French, and Italian ; for, besides being well skilled in Greek and Latin, and the lan guages I have mentioned, she is mistress of Spanish, Scotch, and Dutch. Whoever speaks to her, it is kneeling; now and then she raises some with het hard. While we were there, William Slaywater, a Bohemian Baron, had letters to present to her, and she, after pulling off her glove, gave him her right hand to kiss, sparkling with rings and jewels, a maik of particular favour. Wherever she turned her face, as she was going along, everybody fell down upon their knees. The ladies of the Court followed next to her, very handsome and well shaped, and for the most part dressed in white. She was guarded on each side by the gentlemen pensioners, fifty in number, with gilt battle axes. In the anti-chamber, next the hall where we were, petitions were presented to her, and she received them moat graciously, which occasioned the exclamation of God save the Queen Elizabeth !' Bhe answered it with, I thanke you, mine good people.' In the chapel was excellent Intl• BIC ; as soon as it and the service were over, which scarce exceeded half an hour, the Queen returned in the same state and order, and prepared to go to dinner. " A gentleman entered the roan, bearing a rod, and along with him another, bearing a table-cloth, which, after they had both kneeled three times, with the utmost vene ration, he spread upon the table, and after kneeling again, they both retired ; then came two others one with the rod again, the other with a salt-cellar, a plate, and bread when they had kneeled as the others had done, and placed what was hiought upon the table, they too retired with the same ceremonies performed by the first; at last came an unmarried lady (we were told she was a Countess), and along with her a married one, bearing a tasting-knife ; the former was dressed in white silk, who, when she had pros- strated herself three times in the most graceful manner, ap- yroachtsl the table, and rubbed the table Pith bread and ash, with as much awe as if the Queen had been present. faen they had waited there a little while, the yeomen of the guard entered, bare-headed, clothed in scarlet, with a golden rose upon their backs, bringing in, at each turn, a course of dishes, served in plate, tnost of it gilt ; these dishes were received by a gentleman, in the same order they were brought, and placed upon the table, while the lady taster gave to each guard a mouthful to cat of the par ticular dish he had broteght, for fear of any poison. 1 tar ing the time that this guard (which consists of the tallest and stoutest no n that can be found in all Enqand, be log carefully selected for this service) were bringing dinner, twelve trumpets, and two kettle-drums, made the hall ring for half an hour together. At the end of all this cere monial, a nmnber of unmarried ladies appeared, who, with particular solemnity, lifted the meat from the table, and conveyed it to the Q h ueen's inner and more private chamber, where, a ft er she ad chosen for herself, the rest goes to the ladies of the Court. The Queen dines and sups alone, with very few at tendants; and it is very seldom that an ybody, foreigner or native, is admitted at that time, and then only at the in terecation of somebody in power." ky at oe to .1. 0 • 0 ! i 6• 5.
