We have here the closing chapter of " Tan Thousand a Year"—the most lengthy tale that has appeared in print since the days of the in terminable Richardson. It terminates, as might have been anticipated, with the recovery of his Yatton property by Mr. Aubrey ; the marriage of his sister Kate with the son of the Lord Dc la Zouch; and the :litter ruin of Tittlebat Tit mouse, who, distracted with his misfortunes and the brandy-bottle; is confined for life in a pri vate lunatic asylum. As for the inferior per sonaf.-,,es, they arc disposed of in a very summary manner. Messrs. Bloodsuck and Mudfihrt, the provincial patriots, after being tossed abut on the stormy waves of litigation, and trying in vain to get up a public subscription to indemnii y them for their sufferings in the cause of Reform, at length cast anchor, and find a haven of Test in the Insolvent Debtors' Court; Mr. Tagrag, the broken down haberdasher, turns Church-rate Marfyr, and finds his account in the specula tion; and Messrs. Swindle O'Gibbet and O'ShirtleF,s, the Irish Reform Members, are suddenly found wanting in London, leaving divers perplexed and inquisitive creditors in a state of very delicate distress. Some of these incidents display considerable vigour of sarcasm, though we must protest against the spirit that per vades them ; indeed Mr. Warren has far more of the satirical than the humorous in his :nature ; when he attempts the purely comic, ha almost always fails, from his proneness to extravagant buffoonery. He has no idea of keeping out withiuglvi tlii: 6 - a 1 the sPfe mean of projniety. The interest of his story 1( 111 : 1 11 3 ; forbe either iri d go ior Aubrey or Titmouse, the one being a senti mental, and the other a grotesque, caricature, as unlike real life as it is possible to be. Despite its numerous defects, however—the result rather of careless ness than want of ability—the story is an ex ceedingly clever one, and must have given plea sure to thousands of readers. " A Glance at the Elections" is remarkable for nothing .so much as its solemn cant and twaddle. The writer attri butes the result of the elections to " thait over ruling Providence by which the issues of events are controlled." It was not the Chandos clause that degraded Ministers in the counties ; it was not the Carlton Club funds that assisted the Tories in many of the more accessible boroughs; nothing of the sort; it was Jehovah that did it ! _heaven itself fought on the side of the Opposition ! Yes, Omnipotence—and no less an aut.'aority— hasdeclared against free trade, and in fi LA - our of taxed bread, by returning a Tory majority to Parliament! Such is the opinion of th e scribe in Blackwood, who, thus thinking, must of course look on Sir Robert Peel as one in di rect communication with Heaven of which we must own we entertain strong doubts, seeing that he has as few celestial attributes about him as any man we know of. But if he be really in spired by any superhuman Power, then we should say that the inspiration came to him from below, rather than from above ! The writer goes on to express his conviction that Ministers " ad vised the late dissolution, knowing that the re sult would be a considerable majority against them!" and yet, in the face of this conviction— which, to make it the more impressive, he has put in Italics—he adds, in the very next page, that " the object of the dissolution was to excite an evil spirit through the country, which :might weaken the numbers of the Conservative party !" Thus the Whigs dissolve, first, it seems, to secure a Tory majority, and secondly, to weaken the numbers of that majority ! Who can pin faith on a writer who argues in this inconsistent wad ab surd fashion ? But the article is full ofsuc'h crazy trash, being throughout consistent only in incon sistency. " The World's Honesty" is a tempting theme, skilfully handled. The " French. in Al geria" describes the recent changes in this colony, and the embarrassment under which it still la bours, in a temperate, and, so far as we can judge, impartial manner. We should say that the discussion on the " Non-Intrusion Question" was dull, could we but understand it, but we have never yet been able to make out what the Scotch theologians have gone to loggerheads about. "The Announcements and Three Rooms" is an amusing- story, with a dash of farce in it. The " Pied-a-Terre" is a lively jeux d'esprit, We quote a portion of the stanzas : Sentimental young students may be in the right, To dream of a cottage with roses grown o'er ; And nothing to think of from morning to night, But POMO pink-and-white Lucy to love and adore. But you're fast getting grey, as perchance you perceive, And I guess 'tis high time such green fancies to leave, And sit down in a civilized pied-a-terre— Within cry of the Clubs, in the heart of Mayfair. About twenty, the appetite's strong as a horse, And one hardly discovers a rasher is tough ; A bowlful of beans are digested of course, Anti black-strap or brown beer wash them down well enough ; Lucy tapping the butt, Lucy foaming the can, He fares like a fighting-cock, innocent man I Nor envies the daintiest pied-a-terre, Within cry of the Clubs, in the heart of Mayfair. In the morning he works at his garden or hay, Till the plump little housekeeper beckons him ; In the evening he'll open Pope, Parnell, or Gay, While Lucy sits by him to listen and spin. When her basket is full, though his tale's but half road, Up she jumps with, " Come, dear, we're too late o of bed 1" And he turn'd up his nose at a pied-a-terse, Within cry of the Clubs, in the heart of Mayfair. If his neighbour the parson looks over the stile, They converse—as they call it--but, heavens ! what a dose 1 How Rogers would shudder, how Sydney would smile, At the fun of the point—at the fact of the prose Shrewd remarks of the 7'atler—conundrums from Joe— Opinions that Pusey could scarcely outgo — How remote from the tone of a pied-a-terse, Within cry of the Clubs, in the heart of Mayfair I Come and settle in London.—There's no place like that For a dowager dinner at eight of the clot k Wits, and well-preserved women, and smooth easy chit— Fresh and bright as champagne, sharp and racy as hock— With each glass handed round they are sure to let fly Virgin double entendre, or spick-and-span lie— Coin'd in shady boudoir or trim pied-a-terse, Within cry of the Clubs, in the heart of Mayfair. If you've slumbered till noon—read the papers till four— Blue-and-yellow or Quarterly, if they're just out— A few pages of Maberley, Stepney, or Gore, • Sufficient to show what the Wry's about ; And then stroll'd in St. James's, and lounged in The Bow, And canter'd an hour up and down Rotten-row; You'll come forth quite the thing from your pied-a-terre, 'Within cry of the Clubs, in the heart of Mayfair. The expense need not fright you: up one pair of stairs You may rent for a song such a nest of small rooms, — Which we'll rig with French tables, American chairs, Busts of Grisi, and vases from old Tuscan tombs. One staid woman, a valet who shaves to a turn, And brews coffee like amber in Ord's patent urn— No establishment more for a pied-a-tsrre, Within cry of the Clubs, in the heart of Mayfair. . ......._ 11111 .

We subjoin the opening portion of this sketch : The lady's maid is the flower of the domestic esta blishment—the Proserpine of the lower regions—the elegance, whose graces of mind and manners bewilder flu minds of the footmen, to whom with supercilious seen, she delivers the orders of her principals—a stumbling• block in the eyes of venerable butlers, as Maria in tho St. of Malvolio—and a target for the merry jests of the ser vants' hall. - The lady's maid is my lady's shedow ; a parody on the chef d'auvre of elegance, to whose cast-of! clothes, airs, and graces, she has the honour to suc c e ed. Though worn to the bone by the labours of office— though deprived of her rest by my lady's dissipation, and of her meals by my lady's selfishness—though ha rassed by flaws of temper and caprices of taste, there is :I species of one and indivisibility between the mistress and maid, characteristic of the umbrageous nature pointed out. An instinctive esprit du corps unites the daughter of Eve who washes the laces, and is to inherit. them, with the daughter of Eve who wears them in her pinners. Against my master, or my lord, on the other hand, the lady's maid cherishes an equally intuitive apathy. Even my master's own man—nay, even the family butler and coachman does she detest as dependencies of " master." " Master" is a tyrant—master is a nuisance—master never satisfied—master is always complaihing the manner in which his linen is starched, or left un starched ; and master's shirt-buttons have tYvice as great an aptitude to come off as any other gentle:nan's. And then, master keeps such hours ! Master goes to bed, and rises earlier than can be accounted for on any other prin ciple than that of matrimonial contrariety. Master comes into my lady's dressing-room in dirty boots ; or sets down his flat candlestick on a new cap. Master is full of fancies, such as having his newspapers ironed ; and worrets people out of their lives about keeping din ner, or the horses waiting: According to the lady's maid there is no end to the peccadillos of " master." Not but that my lady has her faults too. My lady is sadly thoughtless and heedless, and seems to think that people have twenty pair of hands, and no need of rest or recreation. But she is such a good creature, after all ! And, if it were not for having such a brute of a husband, she would be such a sweet-tempered lady. Ali ! poor thing ! if people only knew what they were about when they marled ! The lady's maid swears sho would not change her situation for anything that anybody could offer her ; that is, her situation in life. As regards her vocation, it must be admitted that she enjoys peculiar advantages. Other slaveys occupy the place of Tanta lus. The butler is no wise privileged to. be the better for the wine lie is decanting, or the plate he is cleaning ; or the gardener for the pines or peaches he is forcing. But if the task of the lady's maid be an eternal smoothing of coats, and darning of pinholes, she has at least a vested interest in the fruit of her labours. The lawn kerchief, or brocaded mantle, will one day be her own ; and the young heir who watches the growth of his father's plan tations, is not more personally interested in their well doing than the lady's maid in the safe packing of her lady's imperials and chaise-seat. The lady's maid is usually an hysterical, nervous personage ; her constitu tion broken by irregular rest and irregular diet. FRASER'S MAGAZINE. Like the rest of the Tory organs, Fraser is o course in extaties with tbft result of the elections and earnestly calls on his party to give Sir Rober Peel their prompt, undeviating, undivided sup. port. In a curious diatribe, which he entitles " Confusion Worse Confounded," he insists that the day will be lost unless such support be given, and takes the British Critic sternly-to task for its late attack on the Tory Premier that is to be. We question much whether the Right Hon. Ba ronet will obtain the cordial assistance which is here 60 urgently insisted on, for one or two symp toms of disunion have already appeared in - the camp of the faction, and how Lord Stanley is to be rendered amenable to strict discipline will be a most perplexing subject of consideration with the Tory leaders. That he will very soon com promise them by one of his wayward fits of spleen and independence, is what may pretty confidently be reckoned on ; and then how are the Inglises to be kept quiet when some puzzling Church question is brought forward? Heaven help Sir Robert Peel! He will be more ham pered by his own followers than even by the Op position, formidable as this will be by intelli gence, number, and unity. " Ruy Lopez, the Chess Bishop," is an incident in the history of Spain, during the reign of Philip the Second, which is wrought up with tact and spirit. "A. Summer Holiday" opens with some pleasing and natural reflections, suggested to the writer by the sight of certain familiar rural objects which he had known in early youth. It is this associa tion of ideas which is Ole chief foundation of our love of the country, and there is no scene, how ever homely or barren, that does not suggest a useful train of thought, and in some mood or other find its way to the heart. Rousseau was enraptured with the sight of a periwinkle, which he remembered to have plucked when botanizing with Madame Warren thirty years before; and Pope has recorded the delight with which lw be held an old gate-post remembered in his child hood. " Romish Idolatry" is just what might be expected from a high Tory scribe--a pack of in tolerant, unmitigated rubbish. " The Rival Shopkeepers" is a diverting story, not mispiced with sarcasm, whose object is to let us into some of the mysteries of trade. " Men and Coats" is an arch, rambling bit of gossip ; but we do not agree with the writer that the first putting on of a new coat is " always attended with cliultation." It may be so in dandified youth, but it is other wise when one's sense of comfort has come to predominate over one's sense of gentility. Then ' —at least until we are used to . its fit—a new coat i is a bore. We resent its stringent embrace as an infringement on our independence of motion. Besides, wherever we go, we are harassed by an apprehension of damaging it. Hence we are, for a season, its slave. How annoying! To be com pelled to succumb in the more serious affairs of life is bad enough ; but to be the martyr of a few yards of cloth--to be the helot of a tight fit — to be panic-stricken by the chimney-sWeepL--to be scared by the dustman—to be made to shud der at the advent of the baker, or the apparition of a servant-girl with a slop-pail thrust half-way out of a garret-window—these are among the worst and most humiliating of the minor miseries of life ; and these a new coat is apt to entail on all with whom—as with ourselves—it is a rarity. From " Anecdotes of Actors" we quote a droll anecdote of parental fondness, as exemplified by little Quick, the comedian. He had invited a friend to dinner, when the subjoined scene took place between himself and his daughter, a spoil ed child, about six years of age : The main dish upon table, when uncovered, excited the curiosity of Miss Quick, who either had not seen the joint before, or had forgotten the name of it, which she now eagerly demanded ; and upon being told that it was a saddle of mutton, she stood up, aria promptly an nounced her intention to ride upon it forthwith. To this preposterous recreation the parents were fain to entreat the little imp's forbearance. In vain ; for she declared saddles were made to ride upon, and to ride she was re solved. After much ado, her patient father and mother luckily suggested that the obvious heat of the seat she aspired to, and the inconvenience likely to arise from such exercise would distress her and spoil her new frock; the difficulty seemed surmounted, and the child desisted from further importunity ; but immediately after, per ceiving the dish almost overflowing with the juice of the mutton, she cried out, " Oh, let me put my foot in the gravy! I tail/ put my feet in the gravy!" The father, albeit not unused to such eccentric fancies, was a little startled at his sweet pet's novel desire, and exclaimed in a tone of assumed wonder and of deprecation, "My L precious love ! what a preposterous thing you propose ! !. it's quite out of the question. Now, be a dear, good chill, and let me help Mr. - to some mutton." "Oh !" reiterated the little treasure, " I will put my feet in the gravy first 1' 'ln vain the devoted parents argued, threatened, and coaxed ; in vain promised that the next day, when they were without a visitor, she should do whatever she pleased ; all, all in vain ! for upon a more determined opposition, the sweet little angel- yelled out her wishes in such a piercing key, that her mother, a very mild-mannered person, addressed her husba,7l, "My dear Mr. Quick, I'm afraid we shall hive na peace until we allow the dear child to do as she likes. " Well, but my love," urged Mr. Quick, in reply, a little ashamed of their mutual weakness before their guest, " what will Mr. - say to such a proceeding ? It is really so improper." Mr. -, willing to see to what extreme pare ntal folly could go, withheld both his opi nion and permission, preferring a state of neutrality ; and Mr. Quick, finding the little tyrant's determination warmer every minute, and the mutton cooler, proposed a compromise, namely,. that the little darling should have ' another dish brought in, and placed in a corner of the room with some of the gravy in it, and then paddle about whilst themselves and friend were at dinner, and return to table when the fruit came in. No ; the " treasu re ," at the very top of her voice, on ce more declired th a t she would have the dish, and nothing but the dish, before f a rther, that she wo u ld not abate one d rop o f her ; and, the gravy. At this perplexing j unc t ure, Quick turned l towards his friend in apology for the scene before him assu ring him at tho same time, that " it was of no use t o ; thwart the dear child, who would have her way." Then ca lli ng for another dish, the poor . father placed the shivering. saddle upon it, and lifting that from the table containing the gravy, carried it to a remote corner of the room, where he was followed by the " little duck;" who, after a persuading kiss from the goose her father, consented to have her shoes removed, and to remain :Plashing' about until the dessert appeared upon table. TAJT' S MA GAZ INE. The political article ir, Tait this month is Feo , s oned with force and la genu ity. The writcr, 0610........% iviii 1,,` 1411, , though a sturdy Radical, is far from disap pointed and dispirited by the result of the late elections, but seems to be of opinion that if the Tories be allowed rope enough, they will most assuredly hang themselves. We think so too, and that their large majority, by inspiring them. with false hopes and spirits, will be most likely to tempt them to the commission of political sui .7ide. Were they numerically weaker, they might possibly, from a salutary fear of conse quences, be kept within the limits of discretion; but a conviction of their overwhelming strenge.lt will tempt them into a- thousand absurdities, which their tame, cautious leader will have little or no power to prevent. Alluding to the prospects of Sir Robert Peel, Tait says :—" He is the Tory Premier, because the Torier; cannot do better. They have no other choice. If they remain long in place—and we do not pretend to calculate the duration of life in the young Parlia , ment—it must be as the Minister of the middle .. , .lasses." These classes, we suspect, will soon tire of a Tory Administration. Expecting much from it, and finding that it will do nothing, it will cast back a longing eye on the Whigs, who. se principles were at least intelligible, howeve.r feebly they were at times supported. "More Medi tations in the Wen is a collection of sprightly I observations strung _together hap-hazard. The sketch of a Westminster election in the olden time, when so many patriotic hustings speeches used to be pointed and rounded off by a shower of dead cats and cabbage-stalks, is highly divert ing; nor, on the whole, can we object to the fol lowing description of a Whig, though we think that the colouring: might here and there have been•softened Itrlvantageottsly . It has been - thought anomalous that the Whigs have more frequently incurred the indignation, of " the mob" than the Tories. = Nothing can be more natural. The Tory and the mob .are political antipodes ; they rarely. come in contact. When the Tory is advised to face "the mob" (nota bone, " the mob," properly speaking, is to be found only in towns—it is a free body—the rural serfs are not sufficiently high-spirited and intelligent to con stitute a mob), it is as a 'forlorn. hope. There is no dis guise: his obnoxious political principles are avowed; and to allow of this being done with the least possible amount of danger, some frank, jolly, good-humoured person is selected, who can keep his temper, and make the rabble like him, though they detest his politics. The Whigs, on the other hand, court the alliance of " the mob," without knowiner its character well enough to know how to deal with A Whig is necessarily a pedant : he sees the people, and every - thing natural, reflected in the softening mirror of books. He has never mingled with the crowd. When a child, he was mamma's well-be-. hayed darling, • who never played with naughty boys or dirtied his clothes : when he was at school and college he was a pattern of industrious study—and, if he did not carry off the lowest . premiums and honours, at least ranked next to those who did : and in after-life he re mains the same incurable, neat, decorous prig. With him " the child is ' father of the man" indeed. He wishes to square his own conduct, and to see others square theirs, to the precepts he has imbibed from his godmothers and godfathers. He is shocked at the levity and restless overbearing conduct of the Tories. He is shocked at the coarseness and waywardness of " the mob." He would . clip and smooth all mankind into a likeness of his own prim self, as old-fashioned gardeners clipped forest-trees into peacocks, Adams, and'Eves. He has no sympathies with the habits and thoughts of others : he has no con ception how other men can differ from him. With Par son Adams, he would read his sermons to the 'squire's drunken led-captains and toad-eaters : but he lacks the robustious bon hommie of the parson—he abhors filthy tobacco and ale, and is as incarnate a vinaigrette as ever an old maid of them all. He first excites derision by his ignorance of men, and then anger by his pragmatical censoriousness. There is a natural antipathy between such a one and " the mob :" it is impossible they can come into contact without quarrelling. "Chapters on English Poetry" discuss the merits of Scott and Byron—a theme which is very cleverly discussed, notwithstanding its want of novelty. The article is not too long, and reads very pleasantly. " The Green-Gaunt let" is brought to a close this month. It is a clever story, and furnishes us with a vivid idea of the horrors that charac terised the Irish Rebellion of 1798. " Memoir of Dr. Jamieson" abounds in anecdotes of cer tain Scottish oddities, in politics. and literature, who figured towards the close of the last cen tury. " Campbell's Life of Petrarch" is an im partial estimate of the merits of an entertaining, but somewhat hastily-written, work. IrfETROPeIrITAiV," , There are too many tales of fiction in this number, which otherwise is by no means amiss. We could have borne with two or three stories, but really half a dozen is too strong a doze for ordinary digestion. Mrs. Trollope's " Blue Belles of England" is amongst the best; but, neverthe less, it is not in her most successful manner. The incidents appear laboured, and do not follow in just and natural sequence; and the characters, with hardly one exception, have none of the breath of life breathed into them. " Recollec tions of a Student" contain sonic striking details of the assassination of the Emperor Paul, and the conduct of his successor, Alexander, immediately subsequent to that atrocious act. The anxious state of the Poles, too, at this feverish crisis, is well described. ' " Curiosities of Legal Expe rience" furnish us with some interesting particu lars respecting the perpetration and discovery, under extraordinary circumstances, -;of a most f lit revolting murder. As a specimen o Idle poetry of the number, we extract some stans by Mrs. Abdy, entitled " The Aged" : Ohl oft the minstrel's lay describes, with warm ( ' and fervent it truth, ik The lovely days of childhood, and the blushing spreig of youth! It dwells upon the season of life's sweet and sunny -prime, But seldom does it chronicle its dark and winter time. Yet ever on the aged with deep reverence I look; Their inmost thoughts I liken to a wise and wondrous book, Enriched with lavish histories of scenes and times of yore, That never can be given to the eye of mortal more. We, in the summer•glow of health, may joyously expect To pass along the ways of life by chance and change unchecked; But while we trace our future course, and future knowledge crave, A year, a day, an hour alas ! may lay us in the grave. But they already have enjoyed the brief and fleeting span By Providence allotted as the common life of man ; And all the wisdom time imparts to benefit our race, Hath in their full-fraught minds secured a certain dw•elling place, We oft retrace our early youth, and sorrotifii4last Reflections en our follies in the season that is past ; May not the aged in their turn reflect and reason thus: May they not mourn the follies that they still decry in us ? Oh ! why should we despise them then, and wilfully forego The treasures of experience they would readily bestow ? Even as the meek and docile clild receives our counsel sage. So ought we humbly to regard the warning voice of age. They ever Should be viewed by us with love and awe, they stanp On the threshold of another world, a mystic spirit-land, They should be cherished and revered as tenants of the sod, Soon to receive their summons to the mansion of (heir God. BEES.—Huish, in his treatise on bees, in a note says—" A swarm of bees belonging to Lord Melville, at his seat in Fifeshire, in the year 1815, threw off two virgin swarms, a circumstance which perhaps never be fore occurred in the history of bees." The same cir cumstance has happened with a hive belonging to Mr. Campbell, schoolmaster in Gilnaerton. The history of the hive is as follows :—The queen bee of one hive having died in the month of January last, the bees were united to another hive, in consequence of which it was very s trong, but had to be removed to some distance. It was placed in Mr. Johnston's garden, Stenhouse, and swarmed so early as the 13th May, and a second time on the 24th of the same month. The first of these, viz., the one which came off on the 13th, has thrown two virgin swarms, the one on the 4th of this present month, and the other on the 15 th.—Edinburgh Courant.

The succ' so which has attended this Institution, arising from its extended connexion, and the safe and liberal principles on which it is founded, have fully equalled, if not surpassed, that of any similar establishment. The Capital of the Company, subscribed by a numerous and wealthy body of Proprietors, affords ample security for all its engagements, while a rapidly-increasing Premium Fund lends additional stability to the Company, and gives an earnest sif con tinued prosperity. The Company transacts business in every department of Life and Fire Assurance, in DEPARTMENT. Annuities, Reversions, and Loans. LIFE J. T. CLEMENT, Esq., Actuary. 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 bonus 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 cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of 1001., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : Age 20, without profits £i 13 00 with profits £1 18 5 0 30 40 . ........... 214 3 3 I 3 50 For short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and for any ages or contingencies not usually a dvertised, information may be obtained on applic ation to the - Actuary or Secretary. Insurances on Lives and Joint Survivorships may likewise be effected on the most eligible terms. The strictest confidence may be depended on in all pecuniary transactions with the Office. Every accommodation will be afforded to Insurers in cases of unavoidable delay in the payment of Premiums. A Committee of Directors, attended by a medical officer, sit at the Company's House at. London Bridge every Tuesday, from Twelve to Two o'Clock, and at the Western Branch every Friday, from Two to Three o'Clock, to grant Assurances ; but one Director is daily in attendance at each Office, to render every facility to those to whom despatch may be an object. FIRE DEPARTMENT. The Company insure Houses, Furniture, Stock in Trade, Farming Stock, and every description of Personal Property, against loss or damage by Fire. No extra charge is made at this Office for the Transfer of Po licies, and the terms of rating are peculiarly favourable to par ties insuring. The Premiums for insuring common and extraordinary risks are on the same scale as the other Fire Offices, viz. :-Is. 6d., 2s. 6d., and 4s. 6d. per cent. Ir surances may be effected for any period of time ; if for SEVEN years, the Premium and Duty will only be charged for SIX.• CETT, Secretary. * The LICENSED VICTUALLERS' and GENERAL FIRE and LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, having ef fected an arrangement with the British and Colonial Life As surance and Trust Society, the Business of the two Offices will for the future be conducted under one management.

The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a. class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sur e to result from t he practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, wherein affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is ne member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, ou perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a p arent, will, by perusing this work, bo directed an d ver y much assisted in investigating and detecting the too oft en con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the d:s astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, general . habitsof living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual Consultation Fee of 11., without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. The autobiography of " Richard Savage," which was commenced last month, is here con tinued, and with an ability that augurs favour ably for its success. We have a diverting sketch of a cobbler and his wife, to whom the hero is apprenticed, and with whom he remains a few days, but not finding them much to his taste, he one morning floors his master by a well-planted blow in his epigastrium, and then walks off in a spirit of surly independence every way charac teristic of him. As yet, Savage is in his teens, but when he attains manhood we anticipate much entertainment from the details of his chequered career. That he was an unquestionable for whose life is fuller of exciting scamp will not at all detract from the interest of adventures,the town-bred ragamuffin, more incidenthi s than especially if he be qualified by his address and talents to seek admission—as was the case with this over-rated poet—into the better classes of society? We bid Mr. Whitehead go on and prosper, and we shall watch the progress of his story with interest. his style is plain, forcible, and sententious, and it is evident that he is—as lie should be—an admirer of Fielding. " A Chap ter on Things and Nothings" is by the author of the popular novel of " Cecil," who gives a cor rect, graphic picture of the state of London in August. Nothing indeed can be more truly forlorn than the great Babylon at this season. All the Somebodie s are awa y , and non e b u t t he Nobodies remain.

NIMEGUEN, JULY 28.—For . some days past various reports have been in circulation respecting instynctiedits that have been received by the collectors of the direct taxes, and by the municipal authorities, to whom the Governor of Gilderland, conformably to directions f.vont the Minister of Finance, has given notice that some tas -.es, especially the house tax at Nimeguen, bring in too lit .le to the Treasury, and the officers are exhorted, in a 'manner not very agreeable to them, to proceed to a net v estimate, and to increase the amount of the tax. The inhabitants have accordingly received notice of this new • assessment, and consequent increase of the tax, though most of ale persons interested have already had their houses valued by sworn appraisers. It may be supposed tilt this measure is not much approved, especially as , people think it may perhaps be followed by an increase of the tax on household furniture. But notwithstanding all, the remarks that are made on it, our city will doubt less submit to it, and we feel confident that those of our citizens, whose situation gives them an opportunity. will find that the measures ordered are legal, necessary, and equitable DUTCH FUNDS.—AmBTERDAK, JULY 30 Money.

The crops this year will, if the weather be fine yield, perhaps, an average quantity of grain ; but the wheats are not heavy, and the oats in many places re markably thin. Barleys are also light upon the whole. The hay harvest has suffered much from the rain a cold, and as much is said to have been spoiled this year as was made last. Hops look sickly and poor. they stand in need of fine warm weather. Apples and pears are again abundant in favourable situations, and filberts will be more plentiful this year than last. In many places in this neighbourhood the pea harvest has begun. and they yield most extraordinarily : it is the finest year ever known for them. • The wheats are beginning to look• yellow, and a few fine days would render them fit for the sickle.—Brighton Herald.
