THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent 'rnisrepresenta tations ; and numerous casts have shown how worthless may be a policy obtained from the most influential office, which is un restrained by this equitable principle, which removes all anxiety as to future dispute or litigation, and enhances immeasurably the value of the policies as documents of security. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who give to the assured on the mutual principle the whole of the mutual accu mulations, and also guarantee the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind them selves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour of creditors whole-world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. - - 'G SCALE TO ASSURE £lOO.

THOMA S'S SUCUEDA. - N E U Price 4s. tid. Patronised by her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. This valuable SUCCEDANEUAI for STOPPING DE CAYED TEETH, however large the cavity is far superior to anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft . state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the tooth fer many years, rendering extraction unnecessary. It arrests all. further progress of decay, and renders them again useful in' mastication. Prepared only by Mr. Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 68, Ber ners-street, Oxford-street. Price 4s. 6d., and will be sent free by post to any part of the kingdom. Mr. Thomas continues to supply the loss of teeth without springs or wires, and has introduced an entirely NEW DE SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, which will be found very superior to all others, as they will never decay, nor become discoloured, and their perfect resemblance to nature defies detection even by the closest observer. This method does not require the extraction of any teeth or roots, or any painful operation whatever. The charges will be found much less than most Dentists.

Thus, suppose the ordinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first payment by the half premium plan will be five guineas, being the one-half of the 101., and interest for the retained half ; and if death should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the Si. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 51. ; for the second of 10/. ; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either be repaid, or retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 5001. then payable by the Company. To entitle persons to participate in the profits of the assured on the mutual principle applicable to the year from February, 1843, to February, 1844 (which profits are wholly divided amongst that class), Proposals of Assurance must be lodged at the Head-Office, or with any of the Agents of the Company, on or before Tuesday, the 6th of February next. Every information may be obtained by personal or written application to the Agents of the Company, or to the Manager in London. ALEX. ROBERTSON. Esq., Manager. FOGS AhD DAMP AIR.

Invented by Sir JOHN HILL, M.D. Sir John Hill, who was a very eminent Physician, recommended this excellent preparation as the most salutary and effectual remedy for all disorders of the Breast and Lungs : and many years' experience has confirmed the recommendation in the immediate relief and gra dual cure of Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, and Consumptions. It is the greatest preserver of the Lungs.ever discovered, and contains all the healing, softening, and soothing qualities of that salubrious extract of FLOWERS, called HONEY. Professional Gentlemen do not hesi tate to recommend it, as it never disagrees with the Stomach, and common Colds, in most cases, yield to its beneficial effects in a few hours.

AMUSING ANECDOTE OF TILE QUEEN.—It is stated that on one occasion, when on a visit to Wentworth House, the Royal party were perambulating the grounds, when, being in advance of the rest, the Princess Victoria was respectfully cautioned by an under gardener not to go down a certain walk, as the rain had made the ground " slape." " Slape ! slape !" retorted the Princess, with the characteristic ra pidity and inquisitiveness of her illustrious grand father, George III.;" " and pray what is slape ?" " Very slippery, Miss—your Royal Highness—Ma'am!" replied the worthy man. " Oh! that's all," she rejoined; " thank you !" and, as she proceeded, resolved to try this slape" ground against which she had been cautioned ; but she had not proceeded far when the gardener's predictions were realised, and down she fell. " There !" shouted the noble owner of the grounds, who had observed all that•had passed from a short distance, and who, on perceiving that no injury was done to his noble and young guest, laughed most heartily; "now your Royal Highness has received an explanation of the term 'slape, both theoretically and practically !" " Yes, my Lord," rejoined the good humoured Victoria, "I think I have. I shall never forget the word slape.' "—Fraser's Magazine. TRIENNIA WILLIAM lIOWITT'S NEW WORK.

It will be interesting to our readers to know how the legal talent of the Irish bar is dis tributed, upon these important trials, and to know the relative position of traversers and prosecutors as to the counsel employed. Mr. O'Connell, a host in himself; needs no description from us. He will address the jury in his own behalf. Mr. Henn, second to none in power, or in skill, and whose authority is of great weight; Mr. Whitesides, an earnest and enthusiastic ad vocate, who delights in encountering difficulties that lie may overcome them ; Mr. INl'Donough, learned, quick of perception, and always pre pared ; Mr. Moore, a thorough lawyer, ener getic, and a sound logician ; Mr. Fitzgibbon, clear in argument, shrewd, bold, yet careful; Mr. Pigott, cautious, doubting, but safe, certain, and powerful; Mr. Hatchell, penetrating, dex terous, and a terror to the prevaricator; Mr. Monahan, able, quick in perception, and sound in expression ; and though last, not least, Mr. Sheil, whose eloquence will pierce the ears, and whose reasoning can reach the mind—form the silk-townsmen of the bar for the traversers. Joined with them, as juniors, are Sir Colman O'Loghlin, Mr. Close, and Mr. O'Hagan, all of whom are learned, enthusiastic in their clients' cause, and fast rising- in their profession. For the Crown, Dir. Smith, the Attorney-Ge neral, brave as a lion, spiteful as a cat—learned enough fbr ten lawyers, yet without judgment or temper for one; Mr. Greene, the Solicitor-Ge neral, lucid, placid, sincere, and argumentative ; Mr. Brewster, powerful in sarcasm, severe, skil ful in manoeuvres, and learned in quibbles; Mr. Holmes, whose talents are of first-rate order; Mr. Bennett, the leader of the Munster bar, and fit to lead it, by hi s mental talents and his kind disposition ; Mr. Napier, skilled in all the depths of pleading and legal proceedings ; Mr. Tomb, artful, crafty, and able; Mr. Freeman, Mr. Martley, Mr. Smiley, and Mr. Baker complete the array for the Crown. It is said that Sergeant Stock, the Liberal Member for Cashel, has also been retained to aid the cause of the prosecution. Taking the two arrays, there cau be no doubt that the preponderance of talent and of legal weight is on the side of the traversers; and if the issue depended on counsel and advocates, we should have no difficulty In foretelling the result. As it is, Heaven speed the right, and send the jury hearts to prompt, and minds to direct them. There is an able article in the .31etrepolitan Magazine for January, upon this subject, which is well worth perusal, and which is evidently written by one thoroughly conversant with the merits of the Irish bar. It will repay the reader for his trouble. FARMING EXPERIMENTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - SIR,--Having read in your paper of Mon day last a letter addressed to you by " an expe rimental farmer," giving th e resu lt s o f some experiments with different manures, made by himself on a farm in his occupation in Cheshire, - from which it appears that the use of guano was productive of injury to his pasture, and loss of crop, I am induced to offer a few observations, with a view to place the true cause of failure before your readers. I used guano last year to a considerable extent, in top-dressing wheat, oats, and pasture ; and, also, as the only manure for Swede turnips, and a portion of my potato crop, and found it emi nently successful in all these cases. On the pasture 1i cwt. of guano per statute acre, with an equal weight of ashes were strewed on the' 16th of March, and produced an excellent crop,. mowed on the 3d and 4th of July. The wheat_ was dressed with similar quantities on the 17th ' March, and the oats with 1 cwt. of guano per acre, mixed with an equal quantity of coal ashes, which much facilitates even spreading. Both sorts of corn were strong in growth, of a vivid green, and yielded well. The potatoes were planted in rows, two feet apart, covered lightly with earth and guano, at the rate of 3 cwt. per acre, then strewed along the rows, which were afterwards fully covered in. The produce in this case rather exceeded that raised from the best dung from fatting pens. The turnip seed was drilled in, and 4 cwt. of guano per acre, with equal bulk of ashes, were then strewed upon the land, and the manure harrowed in with the seed. The crop was more than an average one, though the field was of very in ferior soil. The real cause of " experimental farmer's" failure was excess of guano, which contains 38.100 th of ammonia, and therefore no wonder that his pasture was burned, by an application of 5 cwt. per acre. Guano is a most valuable manure, but it requires to be used with judg ment, and where much is required should be put on in moderate quantities, at different times. One cwt. applied to pasture land in February, another in March, and the third in April, would be highly beneficial, but the 3 cwt. applied at one time would do harm. The work is best done in showery weather.—l am, Sir, &c. Bath, Jan. 12, 1844. PHILO JUSTITI2E.. TO _TH.E . EDI7'OI? OF THE SUN. Sin,—Have the goodness to insert the follow ing, and you will oblige a subscriber and a lover of truth. In the Second Edition of last Monday's Even ing Sun, is a letter signed by one who styles himself " Experimentalist." Now I have lived the greatest part of my life within one mile of Cheadle Church, and am now living within three miles of the said church, but I never knew, be fore reading The Sun newspaper, that the whole parish contained one experimental farmer. As I know every farm in Cheadle, and also all the farmers, I was somewhat astonished on read ing the account. I very much doubt the truth of his figures; and unless he can give the exact measure, and also the exact weight of each ex.; periment, I for one cannot believe him, nor am I alone in disbelieving him; and we farmers very naturally want to know who " Experimentalist"- is, that we may get information at home. An- - other reason why I and my brother farmers doubt the accuracy of his experiments is,' the trifling cost of his manuring. I can tell " Experimentalist" that I paid 7s. per ton nett for stable dung in Manchester, to say nothing of the cost of carting, men's wages for spreading, wear and tear, &c. Now 15 tons at 7s. per ton will cost Si. 55., just the amount of " Experi mentalist's" experiment, No. 2. Is there no other expense than the first cost, I would ask " Experimentalist?" " Experimentalist" seems to be an enemy to guano, and that a public enemy too, or he would not have sent his glaring figures to London, where scarcely any one knows anything either about him or the state of farming in Cheadle. If he had not been its public enemy, he would have been content to let. his wonderful (query) experiments be buried in oblivion. But " Experimentalist" had better inquire of his neighbours for the value of guano as a manure as compared with stable dung and night soil, several of whom I know have used it two years with very satisfactory results, both upon grazing land and for turnips and potatoes, as also upon meadow land. I know some of them who could show him a sample of hay grown with guano against his extraordinary rich grape, as he calls it. Now , _ generally speaking, the heavier th e crop is, the coarser it is—but that is directly con trary to " Experimentalist's" experiment. This is another reason why I doubt the accuracy of his experiment. " Experimentalist" may vaunt forth his favourite muck to the world, but his boasting of having lost 521/. by the experiment is ridi culous in the extreme ; and should he be in clined to send another account before the public, I would recommend him to be more explicit, and put his produce upon the scale, and not make a random calculation, just as his pre judiced mind may dictate. JOHN BULL. Cheadle, Jan. 11, 1844. EASY AND EXPEDITIOUS METHOD Or LEARNING FRENCH.—Numerous as have been the methods intro duced from time to time for the speedy acquirement of the French language, none are to be compared with the very judicious and unpretending productions of Mons. Le Page, which consist of " L'Echo de Paris," " Gift of Conversation," the " Last Step to French," and the " French Master for the Nursery," any one of which are sold separately, as they may be required by the progress of the pupil. They are singularly concise and clear, and peculiarly calculated to obviate the necessity of sending young persons to France, at the risk of morals, to learn that which may as easily be acquired in this country, free from the baneful contamination of French manners. We are happy to observe, from the number of editions they have &one through, that they are getting into gene ral circulation. IMPROVEMENTS.—AMOIM the many and varied improvements progressing in the district of Sou Holland, it is very gratifying to observe that the system of hollow or sub-soil draining is exciting general attention, and will, when its admirable effects are more widely known and ap preciated, secure its universal adoption. In the parishes of Spalding, Moulton, Long Sutton, Kirton, Fosdyke, Frampton, &c., under-draining is carried on with great spirit, and. n?" 1 1" fest advantage. It is suite a mistake to suppose that it is no effectual mode of draining a flat or level district ; .the . stile mode is unqaestienably the best, but as it is new in this district, Of we would recommend a trial of some of the cheaper plans. these, there is the thorns for arable lands ; or the mole plough, which is the cheapest.—Hall Advertiser. _ The Lords of the Admiralty have purchased the grass sod or wedge for strong_ !rag!, an d working model _fromTtten na an w i cg h ha m er h a. s hq t ui h ga e hr : s a t a n t du w a se is oetfxobee x ec uted . ,Nelson tpe pla c ed e uf o hi m a mn th n oc i d e ec h lo o ilsu i mfi n vne th fi e ene v t ostibule of the Admiralty, immediat e ly facing the principal entrance to that building.
