East India House, March 31, Iff24. - —•— ------ TAE COUNTY FIRE OFFICE and PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE, REGENT-STREET, were the Original Offices which effected Insurances upon the principle of combining the security of an adequate permanent Capital (in addition to the fluctuating Funds aniang from the Premiums) with the beneficial rule of returning, at stated periods, the Surplus of the annual Pre miums to the Contributors, after paying losses and expenses. The importance of this improvement is acknowledged by extraordinary public approbation, and by the numerous imitations of it, which new Offices have lately offered, and which older ones have adopted in changin* their Constitutions. The principle is of chief value, because as it yields, by the specific Sums insured, and the Return of the Surplus, the fullest value fur the Deposits, persona have no reasonable motive for venturing on the lure of reduced and insuf ficient premiums proposed to them by Adventurers, and which has 1.11 to frequent instances of disappointment and ruin. CAPITALS, A MILLION STERLING and upwards. Seventy-eight Thousand Persons have sought Protection in the County Mee, and have found it. Claims have been paid to Sixteen Hundred Claimants. Exempt front the Expenses of Lawsuits, and also from the sacri fice uf an enormous Commission to Agents, to which some new Oakes submit, to induce them to canvas for Business, great accu mulations have been made. In these, Persons who now insure participate equally with the original Members. Returns of Twenty-five and Twenty per Cent. in consequence have been invariably paid to all Persons who have continued insured Seven Years, upon Annual as well as upon Septennial Policies, and whether they have been Claimants for Losses or otherwise. Forty two Thousand Pounds have been returned in this way to about Twenty-live Thousand Persons insured, within the last Ten Veers --an important advantage which no other Insurance Office existing has afforded. Bonuses of 131.135. and 261. lb. per Cent. have been paid on Life Policies.—Agents are appointed in all the principal Towns. BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT. THE SELF-ILLUMINATING NIGHT or DAY LAMP, producing Permanent Light by Touching a String. This Invention combines utility, economy, durability, and safe ty; it is equally adapted to the drawing-room, the library, the chamber of the invalid, and the °Mee of the man of businesa, and is expected to supersede everything of the kind now in use. When required for the night, the lamp may be placed in any part of the room, and the string attached to the bed, by merely pulling which light is produced. In the day it may be used for sealing letters, &c. without the string. To the Army and Navy, the Law and the Faculty, the Student at the Univertity and in Chambers, to Merchants and Bankers, to Public Offices and Private Families, for eve'' , Bedroom, to Cap tains of Ships and Travellers in General, and for the Insides of Carriages, it is particularly recommended ; and to the Lovers of ' Novelty and the Curious in Science, it may form an acceptable present. If allowed to burn, the Lamp will yield a steady light for 18 or '2O hours without trimming. It is so portable, that it may be carried in the iineket ; so simple, that a child may use it; and so cleanly, that it may be packed with the finest linen immediately after use. By shutting the box, the works are so nicely fitted, that nothing can escape in whatever position it may be placed. As a proo of this, it has been sent, when fully trimmed, and charged with oil, acid, and matches, from London to Edinburgh, by the mail-coach. as a loose parcel, and arrived in perfect security.

The most delicate females find them materially beneficial to their general health, and all who have used SIMI:NBA SI'S PILLS pronounce them the most safe, mild, and effectual family medicine extant.

A T a very numerous MEETING of the PAWN BROKERS of the Cities of LONDON and WESTMIN STER, and the Borough of SOUTHWARK, held at the Horn- Tavern, Doctors' Commons, on Thursday, the thh day of Apell, 1824, Mr. JAMES WI)OWALL, in the Chair; IT WAS RESOLVED UNASIXOUSLY . . Ist. That this Meeting learn, with equal consternation and sur prise, that a Plan is organised, and a vast Sum of Money raised, ex pressly to operate, not simply to the Pawnbrokers'prejudice, but to their ruin. 2d. That the Equitable Loan Bank commence their Plan with an assertion which is as unfounded in truth as it is fallacious in Cr. gument such an Institution has not been long and much needed in the Metropolis of the British Empire • for there are already ex isting in it between two and three hundr ed: Pawnbrokers, most of whom have not busir.ess enough to occupy the capital they arc forced to devote to this trade. 3d. That for more than half a century their Business has been countenanced by Parliament : that the Law by which they are now regulated was revised, enlarged, and amended in the year 1800. ' and has since been found perfectly effectual to every desired purpose. 4th. That these persons, under the faith of Parliament, and annu ally licensed by the State, have embarked, not only all their prop e rty, but most of them have borrowed largely of their friends, for the purposes of carrying on this trade ; that the great majority of them have large families, wholly dependent on them for support ; and having been trained to no other occupation, if they are turned out of this, they are reduced to indigence. 6th. That the raising of Two billions of Money, in Fifty Pounds Shares. is, to a:l intents and purposes, plating forty thou. I sand Persons in battle array against two hundred and fifty ; and that if such combinations be sanctioned by Parliament, no private estallishment can stand,—no branch of mechanics--no individual speculation in arts, commerce, or science, can flourish. 6th. That the proposed Institution therefore ceases to be a pri vate grievance, operating only on two hundred and fifty pawn brokers, hut assumes a character of vital importance to every other , trade, and involves the interest of every man in the State; that it should excite a general consternation and corresponding declaration of sentiment on their part, since every business supposed to be profitable, not only may bat probably will be wrenched from their present possessors, by similar means. It is generally promulgated, ' that already the London distilleries ate marked out for destruction and a prospectus is before the public for raising three millions of money, avowedly to ruin all country banks. 7th. That it therefore becomes evident, should such establish. ments prevail, their tendency would be to enrich themselves at the I expense of thousands; but the scheme of the Philanthropic Equit- ' able Loan Bank is not more visionary and vile than it is decep tiuus ; it is one that has already been used, and the only doubt is, which party suffered most by its disutrous consequences, the per sons who pledged their property with them, or the greatest part of the shareholders: to evince this by indubitable authority, the fol lowing extract is made from Hume ants Smollett's History of Eng land, 4th vol. octavo edition, page 56: " The next object of importance that attracted the notice of the House was the state of the Charitable Corporation ; this Company was first erected in the year 1707. Their professed intention was to lend money at legal interest to the poor, upon small pledges, and to persons of better rank upon an indubitable security of goods mpawned. Their capital was at first limited to thirty thousand pounds, but by licences from the Crown, they increased it to six hundred thousand pounds, though their charter was never con. firmed by Act of Parliament. In the month of October, George Robinson, Esq. M.P. for 31tulow, the cashier, and John Thomp. son, warehouse-keeper of the Cor poration, disappeared in one day. The proprietors, alarmed at this incident, hold several General Courts, and appointed a Committee to inspect the state of their affairs. They reported, that for a capital of above five hundred thousand pounds, no equivalent was found, inasmuch as their effects did not amount to the value of thirty thousand ! the remainder having been embezzled by means which they could not discover. The proprietors, in a petition to the House of Com mons, represented that, by the most notorious breach of trust in several persons to whom the care and management of their affairs were committed, the Corporation had been defrauded of the greatest part of their capital, and that many of their petitioners were re duced to the utmost degree of misery and distress; they therefore prayed, that as they were unable to detect the combination of those who had ruined them, or to bring the delinquents to justice without the aid of the power and authority of Parliament, the House would vouchsafe to inquire into the state of the Corporation and the con duct of their managers, and give such relief to the petitioners as to the House should seem mat. The petition was graciously re ceived, and a Secret Committee appointed to proceed on the inquiry. They soon discovered a most iniquitous scene of fraud which had been acted by Robinson and Thompson, in concert with some of the Directore, for embezzling the capital and cheating the proprie tors : many persons of rank and %tulle were concerned in this in famous conspiracy : some of the hot characters in the nation did not escape suspicion and censure. Sir Robert Sutton and Sir Archi bald Grant were expelled the House of Commons, as having had a considerable share in those fraudulent, practices: a Bill was brought in to restrain them and other delinquents from leaving the kingdom or alienating these effects." Bth. That other histories of those times describe this as one of the most disastrous events which ever had occurred —both rich and poor were involved in ruin by its operation; yet so little sensibi lity did the Managers of this Charitable Corporation evince towards the objects of their apparent solicitude, that it is on record, when one of their class, not quite so brutalized and callous to all human ' feeling as themselves, tremblingly asked, " What was to become ' of the poor The answer lie received was, " 11—n the poor ; let us go into theeity and get money for ourselves." 9th. That there is every reason to believe the origin of the pre sent Institution is, in the vast sums of unemployed trionq now vested in a particular class of people, who, having obtained and funded it w hilst the Stocks were very low, would make an immense 1 profit if they could sell it out and place it on other securities ;—that it would therefore well pay them to exchange it on thin way, since for every hundred pounds three per Cent. Stock, bought in at fifty nine, twelve years ago, they would now get ninety-live pounds ; and if, in twelve years more, the funds should be depressed to the same price again, they could lease the poor to shift fur themselves, re-invest their money, and clear more than sixty per Cent. by the transaction. 10th. That, in such ease, misery must attend the poor, who, hay. ing then nu pawnbroker to go to, must sell, for very little, such property as they can now pledge, for nearly its full worth. I Ith. That there is sufficielit cause, however, to suppose, the present projectors look only to immediate gain ; that, on creating these shares, they will do as has been done in other speculations, , sell them as fast as they judiciously can for immediate profit, in ; which case, supposing they speak true in saying they can have eight per Cent. premium, there is a person who will realize fitly , six thousand pounds, an d the remaining speculators one hundred acrd four thousand more, all of which will be acquired without any other expense titan merely publishing a prospectus. 12th. That to endeavour to counteract these evils, a Committee, consisting of twenty-one members of the trade, be appointed, with , directions to watch the progress Of this measure in Parliament and evetywhere else, and that to defray their incidental expenses, a . subscription be now opened. 13th. That the foregoing Resolutions, signed by the Chairman, be inserted in The Times, Morning Chronicle, New Times, Morn . ing Advertiser, British Press, Traveller, an such other papas as I the Committee may deem proper.

The Te nant is highly respectable, ard, at the determination of the Leon, a considerable augmentation of Rent may be contemplated. Some little idea of the capability of this Establishment may be formed from the knowledge of the fact, viz that the Hotel makes up One Hundred best Bah, and there is Stabling attached tor 1... Me Hundred Horses.
