PRICE SEN'tNPENCt BRITISH MBE OFFICE, STRAND and CORNHILL, ESTABLISHED in 1799 for Insurance of Houses, Buildings, Manufactories, Goods. and Mer utiandize, Ships, Vessels, and other Property, on th• most equitable terms, and on principles affording solid and per manent security to those insured. DIRECTORS, SLC. SIR JOHN COX HIPPISLEY, BART. Chairman. GEORGE HOLM E SUNINER, ESQ. M.P. Deputy Chairman Pion. D. Kinnaird Thomas Maude, Esq. Sir Robert Wigram, Bart. George G. Mills, Esq. William Agnew; Esq. Neill Malcolm, Esq. John Bebb, Esq. Richard C. Plowden, Esq,. James Colquhoun, Esq. •lobe Soane, Esq. James Henry Deacon, Esq. Joseph Warner, Esq. William Fitzhugh, Esq. James West, Esq. Francis Freeling, Esq. Richard Williams, Esq William Marsh, Esq. JOHN HELPS, Secretary, COUNTY FIRE OFFICE, REGENT-STREET. A s the present unexampled rage for New In surance Companies occasions the public attention to be engaged by various attractive Promise", it may not be improper to remind the Friends of the COUNTY FIRE OFFICE what have been its Performances. The County Fire Office has now been established upwards of seventeen years, during which time Sixteen Hundred Sufferers have been Indemnified, and only one claim has been brought into a Court of Law—namely, that of the Thurtells. By vigilant and prudent management, the County Office grew rich during the years which were favourable for Insurance business, and, in this advantage, persons who now insure par ticipate. Returns to the amount of 42,0001. have been paid to all Per sons who have continued insured seven years, upon Annual as well as upon Septennial Policies, and whether they have been Claimants for losses, or otherwise—an important advantage, which no other Insurance Office existing has aflbrded. Since the establishment of the COUNTY FIRE OFFICE, no less than eighteen New Insurance Offices have broken up, besides many which have been carried on as losing concerns. Several of these, which were announced under high patronage, and with the most captivating promises, have expired in total insolvency, and left the disappointed claimants in fruitless liti gation 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 im provable, at half their former rate of interest, are outbidding each other in extravagant promises upon reduced means. Those who are aware of the CollftlSlol4 and misery which have resulted from the numerous failures of Insurance Adventurers, and the probability that such failures will soon recur more ex tensively than ever, will not hesitate to choose between realized benefits and untried promises. This Day were publisjied, to Demv aro. price 16s. with Plates. THE WONDERS of ELORA ; or, the Nar rative of a Journey to the Temples and Dwellings ex cavated out of a Mountain of Granite. and extending upwards of a mile and a quarter, at Elora, in the East Indies. With some general Observations on the People and Country. By JOHN B. SEELY, 1 Captain in the Bombay Native Infantry. &c. " It is not solely to the Temples of Elora that Captain Seely confines himself. He gives an interesting description of the Countries through which he travelled, and an Account of the State of Society in India. His Observations also, on the Anglo-Indian Policy, and his Remarks on the Attempted Conversion of the Natives by the Missionaries, are entitled to serious notice."—(Literary Chronicle.) " The appearance of this IVork is important to all; but the information it contains is invaluable to those whose pros pects or connexions belong to the Eastern World ; and we hall indeed be surprised if it be not adopted, even as a book of study among the numerous youths who are destined to fill situations in our Eastern Dominions." —(Literary Review in the Bath Gazette.) Printed for G. and W. B. Whittaker, Ave Maria-lane. FOR WORMS, FITS, PAINS IN THE STOMACH. &c. WORMS are the Cause of many Internal Afflictions, which vary so much in th e i r e ff ec ts th a t they may be mistaken by the most eminent Physicians, and prove equally fatal to the Constitations of Adults and Chil dren ; though the latter more extensively suffer from their destructive ravages. Their more usual symptoms are Fits, Pains in the Stomach, Side, and 1-lead, Loss of Appetite, and Pale, Languid, and Emaciated Appearance in the Patient.— The extraordinary efficacy of CHING'S PATENT WORM LOZENGES in all such Complaints, as well as Obstructions in the Bowels, and every Dieorder where opening or cleansing Physic is required, is so universally known, and has been pub licly acknowledged by so many persons of distinction and rank in society, that it is unnecessary here to enlarge on their peculiar virtues.

F. nom tle British and Indian Observer of yesterday. ] In our last we mentioned the prospects. which appear of a war breaking out in Yndia, between our governor and the Birmese. The cause of this misunderstanding seems to have been the seizure, by the Birmese authorities, of two Englishmen, Messrs. Chew, and Boyce. During the week we have received papers and letters from all the Presi dencies to a late date, from which we have made the following extracts : - " CALCUTTA, FEB. 20, lB24.—Accounts have been receiv ed from Shapore Island, dated the 23d ult. Nothing had been heard of Mr. Chew, or any of the individuals with him. The Birmahs appear to watch the Sophia with the most jealous attention. Every mo‘.:ment on board of- her, which can be seen at a di s t ance , b e i ng . ev id ently reported' to some au thorities, as on these occasions, even when spreading or furling their awnings, the canoes which are attached to the Birrnall boats at each creek are seen to pall up the creeks. This also takes place whenever a boat goes alongside or leaves her. From these circumstances, and theirjiaving made many 'inquiries re specting her, and enticed part 6Ther force away, combined with some reports of a collection of 7 boats at Iloading, a place about 20 miles S. E. of Cypress, it is apprehended they meditate an attack on her. Besides the Sophia, there are also two gun boats, which, we hope, will be found to be more than a match for any force they can muster. (Front the Bombay Courier, Jan. 24, 1824.) " Since our last p u bli cat i on , some Sales of cotton, although none of great extent have been effected at an advance price. These have been chiefly Bliownagur of middling quality, at Rs. 135, to 133, per candy. Of the other qualities there is little in the market, and the prices are therefore nearly nominal. Fair Surats Rs. 145, to 148, Dokras Rs. 120, to 122. • Mocha Coffee, of fair quality may be quoted at Rs. 14, to 15, per Maund, but the market is dull.—Black pepper, Rs. 106. to 103, per candy of 5811bs ; the price nominal.—Of the imports, we may observe that the metals are generally in demand, and that woollens are on the advance.—Piece goods (with exception of muslins and fancy articles) may be sold at fair prices, and if no considerable addition is made to the stock by the next ships an advance on the prices may be expected, as considerable exportations to the northern parts, are now going on. On Saturday the 17th instant, the new ship Asia, built for the Royal Navy, was floated out of dock. The Asia is rated at 84 guns,,but pierced for 86, and is about 2289 tons hurthen, being the largest ship that has been built in India. On passing out of the dock she received her name from H. E. Commodore Grant; C. 8., the Naval Commander in Chief. Respecting the qualities of this magnificent ship, our contemporary of the Gazette observes : " The best and most faithful account that can be given of the Asia is, that she stands as high in the opinion of profes sional judges, as any ship that has been floated out of the Bom bay docks before her; and is an incontrovertible proof, that the skill, talent, and zeal, of the late highly respected head builder, Jamsetjee Romanjee, have descended to his son Nawrojee Jamsetjee, with all their primitive force and excel lence; and it is with much regret we contemplate, that the powers of this deserving architect are likely to be sus pended for some time, there being no other ship in progress of building." ( From the Madras Gazette, Jan. 10, 1144.) It becomes our melancholy duty to record a very distressing accident that occurred at Ponthcherry on Tuesday last. A gunpowder manufactory exploded in the Black Town, which destroyed many of the adjacent houses, and caused the loss of many lives. Twenty-five bodies had been dug out of the ruins, when our correspondent dispatched his letter. Madras Courier, Jan. 30, 1822. • (Translation from the Native Papers..) We learn from the Akhbars that Amert Rao Peishwa, came from Benores to Allahabad, on the lit of December, with an escort of 4,000 cavalry, 309 camels, and twenty elephants, &c. Having arrived at the plain opposite to fort of Allahabad, a salute of twenty-one guns was fired in compliment to the Peishwa. Bengal Hurkarn, Dec. 15. Extract of a letter from an Officer, dated Teck Nair, De cember 5, 1823. " We are situated precisely the same as when we arrived here, and took possession of the island of Shapparree, said to have been possessed by the Burmans for some years past, to whom the Mugs have in a manner paid tribute, and have con sequently been charged with duties on visiting the island for the purpose of feeding their cattle." '• Our communication with the Burmans, on the opposite shore, is very precarious, having only had five visits from a knowing vakeel, under the pretence of obtaining trivial articles of provisions, except on the first and second occasion, which he stated were political visits ; but all of them, .in my opinion, were to ascertain the nature of our movements, and the amount of OUT forces. The guns haVing been landed from the Ernaad, a message has been sent to the King of Ava, to which we ex pect a reply in a few days; and on -this our future operations will depend. The men are very well just now, and to all ap pearance will continue so, as the cold season is approaching." INDIAN A PPOI N T3IEN TS. CIVIL. BENGAL. General Department, Jan. 1, 1824. Mr. E. C.

" STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA. On Saturday a Meeting was held at th'e City of London Tavern, for the purpose of establishing a more direct communication between Great Britain and Ireland and America. At one o'clock there were assembled, the Marquis of Lans./ down, the Earls of Meath and Orthond, Lord Carbery, the Hon. C. H. Hutchinson, M.P., the Right lion. Maurice 'Fitzgerald, M.P., (the Knight of Kerry), Sir William Adams, and several other gentlemen connected with t h e American trade. Shortly after one o'clock, several persons who were expected'not having arrived, Mr. MAURICE FITZGERALD addressed the Meeting, and requested a short delay for the arrival cf Mr. RandOlph, who had just arrived from America, and who was capable of cm , municating much information which vioald be useful to the object of the meeting, and Mr. Spring Rice, who was interested in the project; both of whom were shortly expected. The object for which the meeting was convened was explain.' ed in a prospectus, from which the f o llo w i ng are e xtracts " It is proposed to establish a line of packets, to sail weekly' from the excellent harbour of Valentia, in the south-west ex tremity of Ireland, to the city of New York. " The harbour of Valentia is the nearest point of Europe to the American Continent. From the high lands near it, and the new light-house on the Skellig Rock nine miles to sea ward, it is easily made from the sea. It is perfectly safe; is capable of containing large vessels ; has two entrances in dif- , ferent directions, so that vessels may enter and depart in all winds. Ballast cargoes may be obtained there in slates, butter, and coarse linen, for the American markets. There is a reve nue establishment, and there are no port charges. It is 202 miles more westerly than Falmouth, and may be reached from London in fifty hours, and forty from Liverpool. by a traveller, who will thus save all the disagreeable risks of the Channel na vigation. No delay can arise in the sailing of the packet, in any wind, even those which shut the harbours in the West of Eng land ; and it is well known, that by far the greater part of the delay and danger of the passage from Falmouth or Liverpool occurs within the Channel and the Bay of Biscay, which by this line are avoided." The remainder of the prospectus is taken up with pointing out the local facilities which the port of Valentia alibrds ; the roads, and mail coach conveyances to all parts of the empire which open to it, and other advantages, which are forcibly pressed upon consideration. At two o'clock Lord Carbery took time chair, and opened the busi ness o f the Meeting. Mr. M . FITZGERALD then addressed the Meeting, and ex plained the inform a ti on w hi c h h e was capable of affording from his local knowledge of that part of the south of Ireland from which the proposed communication with America was intended to be opened. It was unnecessary for him to dwell upon the very important advantages of American commerce with Great Britain and Ireland, and more particularly since the late changes which had taken place in South America. The present com mercial intercourse was carried on by well-furnished sailing packets from Liverpool. Well as these wore conducted, it was nevertheless obvious that the prevailing impediments to sailing packets were an injury to commerce,_ and that the com munication might be better managed by steam-vessels.—ln carrying into effect this project, they ought to be guided by two leading principles—the first, that the line of communication should be formed between the nearest convenient points of Ire land and America. It was quite obvious that it was impossible for any port connected with the American trade to enter into competition with Liverpool from a preponderance of commercial intercourse, and that that port must have a decided advantage in that respect, if personal intercourse were inseparable from the business of freightage; but that was not in his opinion requi site, and from the rapid means of personal intercourse which the proposed plan would afford, he had no doubt that the pas sengers would decidedly prefer embarking in their voyage a t the south-western coast of Ireland, to which they had at present, by the Irish Mail steam packets, so rapid., and certair. a con veyance, than to embark in the first instance at Liverpool, and traverse the narrow sea between England and lr.danti, and expose themselves to the tardy coast voyage. The Right. lion. Gentle man pointed out in th e strongest manner the advantages to per sonal intercourse with America which the new plan of establish ing steam-vessels between the south of Ireland and America would afford, and the ready commercial intercourse which could be kept up by branch-vessels between the south of Ireland and the other parts of the kingdom. He pointed out the ready supply of coals which might be had at Valentia from the Bristol channel, and that by the steam-packets sailing from Valentia to the eastern point of Nova Scotia, they there were within the coal supply from Cape Breton, to enable them to take in a fresh supply for the voyage home. He was aware of the objection that existed to the establishment of the place of sailing from a part of the country where there was no existing commerce ; but he com batted this objection by enumerating the local advantages which the place afforded, and the readiness with . which the communications might be there provided, for conveying mer• chandise to every other part of England, Ireland, and Scotland. He was perfectly aware that, however desirable were the adop tion of this plan to the local interests of Ireland, howeVer valu able might be the general commercial 'advantages to Which it ultimately led, that unless it could be shown to possesi time pro. liable means of returning a speedy profit for the investment of the capital requisite' for the undertaking, it would be idle to expect the assistance of the British capitalist. But all the de tails which he had seen convinced him of the immediate profit which must be realized from the establishMent of the Plan ; and on that account he was ready to submit it to the public support. Mr. Nimmo, the Government civil engineer, who was employed in various public works in Ireland, and who had f , .t.irveyed the whole southern and western coast, would corroborate his asser tion of the profitable prospect which the plan held out for the investment of capital. _ Mr. NIMM o then addressed the Meeting, and produced maps of the coast in the part of Ireland where Valentia is situate, and he pointed out from them the geographical advantages which that part of the country afforded for directly trading with Ame rica. He then enumerated the great improvement made of late years in the application of steam to navigation ; and he esti. mated, that with vessels of one thousand tons huriten (whi c h would carry all the necessary coal), they could navigate the Atlantic from Valentia to the most eastern cape of Nova Scotia in less than a fortnight. Four hundred tons of coals would do for the voyage. He only intended that the larger steam-vessels should sail between Valentia and Nova ;_icotia. At the latter place smaller vessels could be appointed to early on the navi. gation through ou t a ll t h e c hannels which w ere opi , :n to all pitrts of Canada, N ew Y or k, &c.. ; and the s ma ll e r steam- vessels which brought coals from the British Chann e l to t h e sou th of Ireland for the use of the larger packets, could also convey the merchandise brought in the later to its proper consign ment in other parts of the kingdom. He gave in, at the sag_ gestion of Mr. Spring Rice, an estimate of the proposed ex pence of the outfit of the establi s h ment , which was referred to a Committee. .... Several Gentlemen here entered into a conversation upon the merits of thP plan, and declared their approbation of the outline. tu sh re ou fo ld r local improvement, ....Eord CARBEURY suggested that the port an ot y ' V ex a p le e n n t d ia i not be finally fixed upon without the concurrence of the great commercial interests in the American trade. freTehfroe from port of LANSDOWN approved of Valenti,3, as being for every purpose of navigation and security at present. The Hon. C. H. HUTCHINSON enlarged upon the inesti:. pointed t in c e h n a t , i e t s b , e a i n n gd completely p r l e e q t e u l i y r requiring ready mable advantages which must accrue to Ireland from the in vestment of British capital, and argued that the state. of the country ought not to deter the capitalist from embarking his money in Ireland, where he would find the people grateful and kind, when they were employed and well treated. His desire to see English capital embarked there was so great, that he overlooked for the moment the consideration whether Valentia was the fittest port in the south of Ireland as the point of sail. ing from. This m ig h t, After .some furth to consider the Plan, and the Meeting adjourned at half-past four er consideration, howeverb ea afterwardsom ie s ewtatlseadp.
