OLDR MOE'S BALM of COLUMBIA, an important Chemical Discovery, just imported front Philadelphia. The Nobility and Ladies and Gentlemen of Great Britain are respectfully intormed, that JOHN OLDRIDGE has discovered, by the power of Chemistry, the grand desideratum of PRE VENTING HAIR from FALLING OFF, in forty-eight hours from its first application. It has proved its ability to restore a full Head of flair on those who were bald at twenty years of age, in the short space of thirteen weeks; on those who were older it was longer in effecting the change in proportion to the age. Any per son may rest assured (provided they do not wear a wig) that this Balm will restore a covering of Hair in a short time, if it be regu larly used. The young Hair always appears on the part that was bald in the course of twenty-one days. Though the person who uses it be ever so old, by applying it occasionally it will prevent the Hair from falling off. So highly efficacious has it proved in America, that the British Consul. Gilbert Robertson, Esq., R. Wharton, Esq., the Mayor, arid Matthew Randall, Prothonotary of the C ommon Pleas in Philadelphia, have certified to the re spectability and veracity of those individuals who have found it not only a preventive against the falling off of the Hair, but also a cer tain restorative. .Just published, beautifully printed in 18mn. done up in a hand. some fancy cover and case, and embelli shed with a Portrait of Baron Alexander Von Humboldt, and four elegant Engravings, ice 14. vnl. 1, of lIE CABINET of FOREIGN VOYAGES and TRAVELS, or Annual Selections from the latest Works of that description which have not yet appeared in Englisii.

DROMOTER BENEFIT COMPANY. 1 In the various projections of Public Institution, a total disregard has been shown to a class of persons whose interests in a eaminercial country would seem entitled to the first consideration— the Heeds of Departments, Principal and Subordinate Clerks in Public Offices, Banking, and other Establishments. The :advantages held out by Government to its officers are the fruits of an excellent systefn, u • progressive annual rise in salary, after a few probationary years, and an honourable superannuation, form strong inducements to good conduct, and a continuance in the issue employ. This plan, 'however, is found to be too confined in its °proton, and would be greatly improved by affording the mos of obtaining a certain independence, after a given period of rervier. A Public Institution, providing pecuniary compensation and medical attendance, by first-rate professors, during illness, securing definite and progressive allowance in aid of salary, and competent superannuation, at given periods, anr.uities for children, and NT. Prentice fees, or outfits for professions or other pursuits requiring combinable disbursements, most be highly beneficial, -not only to those who serve, but also to those to whom service is rendered. To the former the idea of depend solely on private friendship for Issistance, to avail themselves of opportunities for settling their oildren, or on the bounty of employers for support, when incapable tf rendering equivalent service, must be painful; whilst the true r.tetems and best feelings of the latter must be deeply involved in ;rovirling reset et .ble subsistence for confidential or deserving as. aunts whilst in active emplo, and needful aid in sickness and competent support fi r them in o ut age. The system of Life Assurance has been greatly improved, and resented to the public in beneficial Institutions. But the root P.nrn which seen Institutions spring has been altogether neglected ; red, in carefully making provision for a man's posterity, the living man himself, and his family, during his life, have been entirely disregarded. In the ordinary Benefit Societies, consisting of persons in various trades, and generally applicable to the lower classes only, no effi dent mean. have been employed to ascertain the continuance, or probable duration of certain disorders incident to such trades, nor to fix the contributions properto be made, to secure a compensation for loss of labour during those periods. Indeed, the difference of nortality, in different trades, has never been determined, so as to :fool an accurate scale of contribution for each class. To extend and apply the rdvantages of the Benefit Society to persins in a more elevated station in life is the object of the PRO iOTER BENEFIT COMPANY. Its business will be con ked to one, though numerous, class of persons—the Heads of &pat:runts, Principal and Subordinate Clerks in Public Offices. Banking, and other Establishments ; because, by the steady uni fernoity of their pursuits and habits, perfect means are afforded for making accurate calculations of the periodical contributions proper to be made by that class, at all ages, without risk from the &dims lion of persons or less healtr v occupations. Fat his purpose, the true law of mortality among that particular des of persons has been accurately asentaismod ; scales of the pro motive advance of salary in public offices. with the usual periods of superannuation, and the probability of advancement by prema ture dea'hs, have been formed ; the average number of sick persons KO ages, and the average absence from business, have also been artfully estimated. The ents of the Company will be secured by a subscribed Capital of ,000/. 1n 0,000 Shares of IW. each ; the whole to be aanally paid up at the time of subscribing. Three Thousand Stares will be reserved. As the materials for calculation have been procured expressly for the purpose of this Institution, at great labour and very consider able expense, the remaining 3,000 Shares will not be issued under premium, to compensate the Projectors, Calculators, and others far such labour, time, and coat. But, to afford a fair competition to the public, a few days will be allowed for bidding': the highest hiders of course will be selected, for any number of Shares they may o ff er to take, at the price named in the Tender. In the event el similar bidding' fo: equal numbers, an equal distribution will be made ; and the whole 3.000 Shares will be disposed of among the bidden, without any further reserve. Tenders to be sealed and addressed to the "Promoter Benefit Company," under cover to " Str John Perrino, Barn Shaw, Bar ber, rad Co. Bankers, Cornhill, London." No Tender will be re coiled after the 2d day of February, nor any opened until the 3d of "'marl. at 12 o'clock precisely, when the Committee will attend to open the Tenders. The successful bidders will receive notice to Pay, in full, the amount or their Shares to Sir John Perring, Bart. Barber, and Co. by whom the certificates will be heeled. No person will he allowed to hold more than 500 Shares, but tsddings even for single Shares will rank according to the price offered. The Board of Directors will consist of eight Members, and three vacancies will be reserved until after the close of the bidding'. fifty Shares will be a qualif titian for a Director. The objects of the Lompu..y are more fully detailed in the Pro spectus, which may be obtained at the Banking House. PERRILYIVES.
