A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in. vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a berms to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for the whole period. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe eific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on w hi c h, as we ll as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MA Y RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT.

This is the only Guaranteed Mutual Life Company—All other Assurance Companies are either Mutual, in which the parties Assured are also their own assurers, there being no Share holders and no original Capital—or Proprietary, in which the assured have no share in the profits, which belong exclusively to the Shareholders—or Mixed, in which the assured have the option, on payment of larger premium, of participating in a portion only of the profits. By the Constitution of the Lon don, Edinburgh, and Dublin Company, the Mutual Class of the assured are entitled to the Whole of the Mutual Profits, as if they had been assured in a purely Mutual Society, and they have also the security of the funds of the Company supplied by the Shareholders, who, guarantee by the subscribed Capital, the payment of the sums assured—the assured themselves being re lieveol from all responsibility, and thus placed in the right of the advantages afforded both by Mutual Societies and Proprie tary Companies.

Important improvements have been introduced into Life As surance practice by this Company, whereby the mode of ob taininp,, Policies is simplified, all doubts as to their validity aro removed, and their application is much extended. The Policies are Indefeasible and Indisputable, unless they have been fraudulentl3 obtained. They at once create for the assured an unquestionable right in reversion, easily negotiable, and valuable as a collateral security in pecuniary transactions. One-half of the Premiums may remain unpaid for Seven Years, affording a greater facility and more economical plan for loan transactions and family provisions than any other which has been suggested, allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured at a future pe riod, when loss of health may prevent him from obtaining a new assurance, to continue a Policy for double the amount of the sum for which he has paid premiums. ---- Credit Tabs to Assure £lOO.

" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond. ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent yet friendly monitor, or, where debi lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are none to whom, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is in tended to convey. Not only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from the routine of general practice, and (as in other departments of the profession) attentively concen trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities. " If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reelec tion and extensive practical experience."—Planet. " The best of all Friends is the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secrecy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the Authors have not exposed the evil with out affording a remedy. It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation, produced by uncontrolled indulgence of the passions, can be restored; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man, can regain the vigour of health and moral courage. The work is written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re sults of congenital debility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Messenger. Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open to exception in any instance where the public, and not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession, are the partie s add resse d. Up on th at which is directed to men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and will demand that medical works for publie study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its o wn ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects w e b e li eve generally, yet very strangely, negle c ted by the medi ca l attendant, and requ i r i ng it must prove a doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery and the surgery of the eye) an entire devotedness to a deeply important branch of i b t r c i a d n s eing le, and is e*i study. The tone of this book is highly moral, in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the sufretin(s consequent upon unbridled sensualism.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.s, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance wore induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Alanheod ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons, To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of th e work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with tiici care of youth are not a little indebted be them for for nishing th em w ith a means o f preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir, —Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coining before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who road it, The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu abie.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out b etween the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to e very capacity. We strengly recommend the work,—Age. nay Ti m m o m st n o l f ti t t l a ie l i e n o o f f comingb a o % o •e k r s y d q a u il e y stioriabe l from the p ress, some, tendency, made us ex • tremely reluctant to take up another.

Mr. Hobler believing from her appearance that Mrs. Levy was not a Jewess, and perceiving that she took hold of the Old Testament when called upon to be sworn, asked her whether she was a person of that persuasion ? Mrs. Levy—No, Sir. Alderman GIBBS—Why then do you take the Old Testament in your hand ? Mrs. Levy—Because my husband is a Jew, and women who are not of their re ligion and are married to Jews, are expected to do as their husbands do. Alderman GIBBS—To what religion do you belong then ?To the Roman Catholic ? Mrs. Levy —No. To the Protestant religion. There is ao difference at all in my opinion. Alderman Glans—What ! no difference between the Protestant religion and the Jewish ? Mrs. Levy—Not the least in the world I do assure you, my Lord. Alderman Grans—Why, do you not believe in our Saviour? Mrs. Levy—Certainly I do. Mr. Holder—And don't you know that the Jews say there is no such person ? Mrs. Levy—l certainly think differently in that respect from the Jews. Alderman GIBBS—And you think there is no diffe rence between a Jew and a Christian ? Mrs. Levy— None at all that ever I could see.—(A laugh.) Alderman Glans—Then I shall certainly not let you be sworn at all. Mrs. Levy—Nobody amongst the Jews ever asked me whether I was a Jewess or not. Alderman GIBBS—I shall not swear you. You appear to be neither the one nor the other. Defendant—Then am I discharged, my Lord ? Alderman GlBBS—Don't be in such a hurry. Let any other witness come forward. Mary Jones, niece of the owner of a public-house in the district which the defendant watches, stated that be tween the hours of nine and ten at night she heard the voice of Mrs. Levy in the street, calling aloud to her I uncle, and upon running out to ascertain what was the matter, observed Edmonds pushing or shoving her against the shutters. Mrs. Levy was at the time bring. ing two pounds and a half of cigars to the house. Ed monds then took Mrs. Levy to the station-house. Alderman GIBBS—How did he shove her ? Mary Jones—lle took her by the collar of the cloak. Defendant—Did not your uncle desire you not to serve me at all? Mary Jones—No. I have served you and an other person who was with you. I don't know what he might have told others. Thomas Batchelor, a person who said he resided in Barking Church-yard, deposed that he saw the defendant take hold o f M rs . L evy b y t h e c l oa k and drag her away from Mr. Jones's door, desiring at the same time another officer to take care that she did not drop anything. Defendant—Did I not say to her, " If you do not satisfy me as to what you have got under your cloak, I shall take you to answer my Inspector at the station house?" Batchelor--I did not hear you say so. The defendant then stated that as he was walking along his beat he observed Mrs. Levy with a bulk under her cloak, walking quickly. She looked particularly at him as she passed, and he suspected that she had some thing about her for which she could not properly account, and questioned her, as he considered it t o b e hi s d uty to do. The answ er he received was a volley of abuse. She told him he was a villain ; that she paid to support him and other fellows of the kind, and that she would have him punished ; and when she got close to the public house belonging to Mr. Jones, she told him he might go in and see what she had about her. He then considered it to be his business—as he could not go into the public house, and as his s us pi c i ons were i ncreased instead of being diminished—to take her to the station-house. The bulk was occasioned by a large bonnet under the cloak. He entirely denied having used the least violence. A City policeman, named Morris, stated that the de fendant called him to walk behind Mrs. Levy, and see that she did not drop anything, and he heard her use the most insulting language towards the defendant as they walked to the station-house. The Defendant—l have other witnesses, my Lord. Alderman Gibbs—No. I dismiss the case. Two Spaniards, in a most wretched condition, with famine in their faces, were brought by Brand, the Mar shalman, before the Aldermen. They stated that they gad unfortunately worked, the one as steward, and the other as cook, in a British vessel from Baltimore to this country, and subsequently to India, and back to England, and after having undergone great privation, they were obliged to sleep in the streets, until they rece i ve d t h e aid of the Refuge for th e houseless poor. Alderman Gibbs asked the unfortunate objects whe ther the Spanish Ambassador, or the Spanish Consul, had refused to do anything for them ? Brand said, that by the direction of the Lord Mayor, he had gone with them to the Spanish Consul, but they were treated like dogs by that functionary, who said that as they had assisted in working a British 'vessel they could receive no aid from the Spanish Government. Alderman Grans asked the men whether they had ap plied to the Spanish Ambassador ?—They replied that they had been sent by the Consul to the Ambassador, and by the Ambassador to the Consul, ba4kwards and forwards several times. Mr. Hobler—These poor creatures must not perish in the streets. If they were to sit down at the door of the Spanish Ambassador, that functionary would probably listen to them. The Spaniards said that their object was to get home, and they were able and willing to work their way if the Spanish authorities would only show them the way. Alderman Ginns—Let these men be taken to the City of London Union, and be supported till we see what can be done to prevail upon the Spanish authorities to act upon the occasion. Meyer Morris, the native of Hamburgh who was some days ago charged with having run away with a quantity of cutlery from Sheffield, was again brought up. A letter was read from Sheffield, stating that there were several cases against the prisoner in that town, but that none of them were ready for prosecution. Alderman GIBBS asked. Mr. Moore, of Sheffield, who charged the prisoner with the offence, whether all the goods which the prisoner had obtained from him were stopped at the place of landing ? Mr. Moore replied that he found that only two out of four boxes of his cutlery were secured. The rest, he ap prehended had been sent off to Hamburgh. The prisoner in the most positive manner said that the transaction was a bona fide one, and that the very people who were said to have calumniated him in Sheffield would most willingly give him credit at that moment. Alderman GIBBS—Why do you not pay for the goods now ? Prisoner —Why, he never asked me for the payment.—(A laugh.) Mr. Moore—fie and his colleague went away from Sheffield without even paying for their board. Prisoner —That's a lie, Mr. Moore. Mr. Moore—Another party, a friend of his, robbed us of 9/. worth of goods. Prisoner—That's a lie, Mr. Moore. The prisoner's solicitor contended, that as a bill of parcels had been regularly made out, and the goods had been delivered, the accusation was of no effect. Mr. Moore--lie never was to have any credit what ever. He promised to be back in an hour, but off he scampered with the goods, and I never saw him again till I found him smoking his pipe on board the steamer to London, Alderman Grnns then directed Brand, the marshal man, to take the prisoner by the railroad in custody to Sheffield, and there deliver him up to the authorities of that town. GUILDHALL. Police -constable 279 brought a young man before Mr. Alderman Farebrother, on a trifling charge of felony, which was discharged, no person appearing to prosecute. The constable, in making the statement to the Court, was almost inaudible from hoarseness, occasioned by a severe cold, and in reply to the worthy Alderman, said he attributed his sickness to the insufficiency of the police clothing to guard against the severity of the pre sent weather, as the cape which they wore allowed the rain to penetrate in such a manner that half an hour's shower would soak them through. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER said, let the constable get a certificate from Mr. Brand, the surgeon to the City Police, and have the whole of the facts at once laid be fore the City Commissioner. He should also wish the surgeon's certificate to be laid before the Court of Alder men, who knew nothing at all about the matter. Some steps must be taken to put an end to this state of things, which was disgraceful to a city like London. Fewer of those charges incident to the conviviality of the festival of Christmas came before the Sitting Alder man this year than perhaps at any previous one—whether from harder times, or more good sense on the part of the poorer classes, we have no means of ascertaining. --_-_-_ ----- CITY SOBRIETY.—From the ----- circumstance of Saturday being Christmas-day, the reports brought by the police under the notice of the City Magistrates em braced two days and two nights, notwithstanding which, no more than five charges of drunkenness and disorder appeared in the charge-sheets for their adjudication. This extraordi nary event i s ascribed by the Aldermen to the efficacy of the Police Bill, particularly to that clause which shuts up the public-houses from twelve at night on Saturday till one next day, and includes in the same regulation the Christmas -day and Good Friday, and the night preceding each of these great holidays. The vigilance o f th e Ci ty police officers, und er th e ac tive control of the City Commissioner, and the peremp tory fines inflicted, also greatly contribute to this excel lent change. IRELAND. DUBLIN, DEC. 24.—The Corn-law Repealers of England may rely upon it, that the people of Ireland not only sympathise with them in their endeavours to obtain a sufficiency of food at a moderate price for their country men, but that they will heartily co-operate with their English brethren in effecting so desirable, so holy an object. A series of demonstrations in favour of free trade in food will be made in this country during the interval between this and the meeting of Parliament. The first of them took place last night in the banquetting room of the Mansion-house. The meeting was originally intended to have been held in the Rotunda ; but it was found that the place would be totally inadequate to accommodate the numbers applying for tickets ; it was accordingly determined on holding it in the Mansion-house, and the result was a complete triumph for the Repealers. At seven o'clock in the evening the Lord Mayor took the chair. The LORD Mason, on taking the chair, said it was with the greatest alacrity he obeyed the summons to take the chair. It was impossible for any subject to be, in its nature, of a deeper or graver interest than that which called them together that evening ; it related to the food of the people. The effect of the present law was starvation. The world had arrived at a period when it was emphatically necessary for all statesmen to look to the good of the working classes. There was no danger of the wealthier classes of the State, unless they involved themselves in that peril by pertinaciously insisting that a portion of their wealth should be derived from the taxation of the people.—(Hear.) They had met that evening to consider the effects of the bread-tax ;it was a tax which made bread dearer to every human being—(Hear, hear)—and, of course, the pressure of that dearness was felt by the poor and labouring classes. As to the wealthier classes of the State, the quantity of bread they consumed, as compared with their general expenditure, was trivial, but to the working classes it was a question of life and death. The pressure of this tax was grossly unequal, and the pressure on the wealthier classes was totally insignificant, and that was demon strated by the single reflection that the quantity of bread that wealthy persons consumed was very insignifi cant in comparison with their expenditure ; whereas the quantity of bread the poor man consumed was the entire bulk of his expenditure for food, and made nine-tenths of the value of his productive power and of his wages.— (Hear, hear.) If the Corn-law were of any value any where it would be of value in Ireland. Now, he ap pealed to every man who heard him, if wages were lower in Ireland than in any other portion of the 7 : aitish dominions ? Wages were lower here than any other part of the entire world.—(Hear.) miserable six pence a day was the utmost the la d or received in Ire land, except in the vicinage 04 : the greater towns, where the wages rose higher. If any country profited by the Corn-laws it would be Ireland, and if the Corn-laws had a tendency to raise wages it would raise them in Ireland, whereas the direct contrary was the fact.--(Hear, hear.) That demonstrated that the Corn-laws did not raise wages. But even if it were useful to Ireland, and in jurious to the British dominions, he would say, perish the advantages that were thus obtained for Ireland at the cost of any other portion of the country. He would say, that though he was a Repealer, and preferred Ire land, yet he did not wish to give her a preference by • means of injustice or iniquity.—(Cheers.) It was their duty to stand by the people of England in that struggle, and a gentleman would address them who had come there to join with him in calling on the Irish to join in that struggle. On his left was Mr. Thompson, whose name was inscribed on the brightest pages in the histo ry o f human benevolence.—(Cheers.) H was one of the men that was instrumental in striking the chains from off 100,000 of their coloured fellow subjects, and in obtaining that splendid act of generosity, the emancipation of the negro slaves through the British dominions.—(Cheers.) They had also amo ngs t t h em another distinguished English gentleman, Mr. Bright, who had taken an active part in the emancipation of the slaves of England from the tyranny of the oligarchy.— (Cheers.) His knowledge and information would in struct and delight them, and though his accent might be different from their own, the generous emotions of his heart beat responsive to theirs in the cause of suffering humanity.--(Cheers.) They would hear the gentlemen, he was sure, with the deepest attention, their charac ters deserved that every respect should be paid to them, and the information they were capable of giving would reward any lengthened attention they bestowed on them. They should all recollect that they were struggling to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, and they would now be addressed by Mr. Bright, one of the gentlemen of whom he had spoken. Mr. BRIGHT and Mr. THOMPSON subsequently ad dressed the meeting : they were listened to throughout with the greatest attention ; and on resuming their seats, were enthusiastically cheered. Mr. Thompson concluded by expressing a hope of seeing an Anti-Corn Association formed in Dublin, and petitions sent in from various parts of the country, for the repeal of the unjust laws, the effects of which he had been describing to them. —(Cries of " S o y ou w il l. " ) The LORD MAYOR said that such an association should be for med, and the announcement was hailed with cheers. Mr. NV TIERNAN, of Mount Tallon, then came for ward, and was greeted very warmly. He was most happy to have that opportunity of informing the gen tlemen who had come there from England —and he told them so as an Irish landlord—that lie, for one, who possessed estates in this country, was favourable to a repeal of the present system of Corn-laws.—(Loud cheers.) He spoke there as a landlord, and he knew that a vast number of landlords in this country enter tained similar opinions.—(Hear, hear.) The law, as it stood at present, was murderous in its nature and ten dency, and he had no doubt whatever that the time was come when Sir Robert Peel himself, and the most vio lent upholders of the present system, must yield to the overpowering voice of the people, and repeal those ac cursed laws, which in their tendencies starved half the population of this empire. —(Loud cheers.) Counsellor .MoonE then addressed the meeting in an eloquent speech, and concluded by proposing the follow ing resolutions : " That the total and immediate repeal of the Corn laws, by permitting the unrestricted importation of food, would essentially advance the agricultural condition of Ireland, and would establish and revive Irish trade and manufacture. " That it is expedient that all Ireland should petition for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws ; and that measures be taken to procure signatures to the petitions." The LORD MAYOR said he would undertake to get signatures to the petitions, Mr. Alderman GARDINER was then called to the Chair, and a warm vote of thanks, which was pr o p ose d by Mr. THOM PSON , an d seconded by the general meet ing, being passed to the Lord Mayor, the vast multitude separated, giving three cheers for the Queen, the Lord Mayor, the Repeal of the Union, and the Repeal of the Corn-laws. MEETINGS TO ADDRESS LORD DE GREY. The Queen's County gentry and freeholders have fol lowed the example of the Corporation of Dublin, and refused to address Lord de Grey. On Wednesday last his Excellency's admirers, agreeable to requisition duly presented to the High Sheriff, met at Maryborough for the purpose of voting a congratulatory Address to the Lord de Grey, but those who do not admire the Noble Lord met there also, and as the latter happened to be in a considerable majority, they moved an amendment to the effect that an Address to the Queen on the birth of the Prince of Wales should be presented, in place of the intended one to Lord de Grey. The amendment was proposed by Mr. P. SALON in an admirable speech. When the gentleman had ceased speaking, The HIGH SHERIFF proceeded to put the resolution and amendment separately, and although it was quite evident that the resolution was negatived, and the amend ment carried by at least ten to one, the High Sheriff de clared otherwise. Here a scene of great commotion en sued, with cries of " Divide, divide," but the Sheriff, not consenting to adopt that criterion, decamped with his followers through a side door into the street, amidst the hooting and shouting of the victors, who were left in full possession of the Court-house. At this time it could be easily discerned the disparity of the numbers, as the Tories who decamped did not leave a chasm visible in the crowded Court. The Sheriff made his exit most unceremoniously, with out waiting, according to the usual mod e , o f vot i ng another per son to the chair. On the flight of the Tories, Mr. Lalor was Proposed :chairman by MICHAEL DUNNE, E sn .1 " . .re, and sconded by JOSEPH LYONS, Esq., J.P. Mr. LALOR was proceeding to show the to of in a low ton the runawaye.s, when he w as accosted by the Sub-Sheriff Mr. LALOR, addressing the people, said—Mr• unpin says he will bring the police to clear the Co Court -house at the point of the bayonet.—(C r i es of Here Mr. Dtrrv, " Manchester !") J.P., came forward and stated, that if he considered that such a thing would be attempted, he would stop there till night to to do it. see would they dare r When the irritation of the people had subsided, a by solution, proposed by Mr. J.

A vote of congratulation to tha Queen and Prince Al bert, on the birth of the Prince of Wales, was adopted with acclamation, and three cheers were given for the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Prince of "Wales. Three cheers were given for O'Connell, and also for " honest Patrick Lalor." The people then quietly separated, greatly elated with their victory over the Orange faction. The Orange and Tory , party left Ma r yb oroug h com pletely chop-ia.-- • i hey arrived i n th e morning pre pared for victory, and went home def ea t e d and humiliated. OUTRAGES IN TIPPERARY. The Limerick Reporter,. received this morning, says that outrages on person and property never were so pre valent (even in the most disturbed periods) in Tippe rary as at present. In part of Limerick and Clare a similar spirit is manifesting itself, and yet the Govern ment is insane enough to think of dismissing the respon sible Magistracy. The General Steam Navtgatiori Company's vessel the Ocean, Fife, from Rotterdam, ar rived off the Custom-house on Sundaywith the Dutch 3.1; Lil. DISTRESSED POOR IN PAISLEY.

In that admirable and inimitable truth of character and force of humour which are the leading features of Hook's works no one of those works surpasses " Fathers and S ons ;" an d i n at l east three of its eliding characters, we do not call to mind one that equals it. The two " Fathers," Bruff and Grindle one of the " Sons," G eorge G r i n dl e , are, i n their way, equal to any thing of the kind that our literature can boast. With the force of Smollett, and the general truth of Fielding, they unite an off-hand ease and naturalness, that no other writer ever attained. Mrs. Smylar, too, is an admirable picture, representing at once an entire class, and a perfectly individualized portrait. But the merit of " Fathers and Sons " i s no t con fi ne d to its cha racters ; it boasts a plot of ex tr eme ingenuity Which keeps the curiosity perp e t ua lly on th e s t retc h , up to the very last chapter of the work.—Naval end Military Gar We are requested to state, that that fashionable periodical, " Blackwood's Lady's Magazine," is about to be published for the new year, with additional charms, and considerably enlarged ; and, as this is the season when the public are seeking for the best and cheapest monthly works, the proprietors of the "Lady' s Black wood's Magazine of Fashion and Literature are deter mined to take the lead, and publish a work whose pages will be replete with vigour and taste, calculated to enrich the female mind, and to blend treasures of information with amusement. The embellishments are to be of the first order of excellence, and each number will contain from three to' four plates of the newest Parisian fashions, a fine steel engraving of " Belgian scenery," and nearly 200 royal Bvo. pages of letter-press, equal to four other magazines for its brilliant literature and fashions. The subscription is 2s. monthly, and the work is supplied by all booksellers in the United Kingdom. '
