J( RN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The gene ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following cautions:—home are in appearance at first sight, `• the genuine," but without name or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies," and others " Rurgiss's ;" and many more without address. John Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all climates.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution net to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SRCURI :TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded, and be independent of the liberality ur caprice of those who shall he in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims arise; and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct ness of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which leave given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial com promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this Company. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured on the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accmulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the stuns assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that where preiniums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid ; and they undertake to do so without reference to the state of the accounting between the assured an his debtor. who grant in favour of THIS IS rsALMOSTwhoIe T le,Or l E world p O ol N ic l, ie Y s, C w O h A e l r PtN , the debt is secured, o 3 although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual upon young lives, where participation in the profits is not required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to complete security will permit.

The Half-premium plus of Assurance, as practised by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at 5/. per cent. interest. Thus, suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will bo five guineas, being the one half of the 10/., and interest fur the retained half; and, if death should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 51.; for the second, of 101. ; 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 35!. would he subtracted from tke 5001. then payab. bythe Company.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums witkout ex pense 6r forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on snort policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as beet to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual li rision of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the amount already invested ; an; this bonus, according to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums NATIONAL MERCANTILE LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETT, Arthur-street, West, London-bridge.

QCIIWEPPE'S SODA AND POTASS WATERS, and ABATED LEMONADE The continued preference of the public for the above celebrated preparations (notwithstanding the low price at which imitations are frequently vended), so abundantly proves their superior quality, that k only remains for the manufacturers to express their acknowledg— ments, and to caution consumers against an imposition often prac tised unprincipled persons filling Sahweppe's bottles with a spu rious coraposition, and passing it off as Schwepps's manufacture.

Reader, don't wonder why we've taken up A theme so " sportive" as "the Golden Cup." We do not mean to celebrate, of course, A light-limb'd jec%oy, or a fa 'rite horse; We merely wish to pluck a few ideas From operations in the sporting spheres; And touch upon the prize that has been won By MOSES, in conjunction with his SON. The sphere of trade, at all times, has reveal'd Movements like those which mark the sporting field. The public's favour, we have seen held up, A strong incentive, like the " Golden Cup." And mrly (while it shone before their eyes), Have struggled to gain the valued prize But such attempts, at best, have been but small; MOSES and SON have far " out-nin" them all. In choice apparel they are " first," we find ; And never, never, do they stand "behind." " First" in improvements at their mighty mart, And all connected with the Tailors' Art. READY MADE. X S. d.

RECENT TESTIMONIALS, " I am highly satisfied with your Gold and Lacquer Detergents. T hope to recommend them to some of my friends, as they answer so well, especially the Gold Detergent."—From the Right Iron. C. D'Eyn court, M.P. " We first tried the Gold Detergent on a costly looking-glass frame that had been a few years gilt. It removed the whole of the fly spots, the dust, and stains, and the frame has now the appearance and bril liancy of the day it left the workman's hands. Next on two very old frames—from their colour we were almost in doubt whether they were gilded or not. The Detergent soon convinced us of the fact, by removing the accumulated stains. and tarnish of many years ; these frames have now the appearance of being nearly new."—Liverpool Chronicle, Jan. 27, 1844. " We have tried the Gold Detergent upon several old picture frames, and must confess we were very agreeably surprised at the result for it restores the splendour of gilding with very little trouble. A single bottle is more than sufficient for all the picture and looking glass frames in a moderate-sized house."—Vide Nottingham Review, April 5, 1844. _ Sold by Upton and Co., 33, George-street, Hanover-square, and 66, Basingliall-street, City ; and the trade in general. :`'~ ~' • - .:I.IITA • • • - • ' • s, A N URGENT APPEAL is _Made on behalf of the FAMILY of a most exemplaryblßlSTlAN CLEE ( "I .- • MAN, who, through death and other unfordieen events, havelost utl their income.

' A t th e meetiw_i3f this Court on Thuridav, andslifter diSposal of the preliminary business, the .appe e i e called cn. Mr. Pamphilon, of Castle-street, Leicester-square, cheese.al. monger, appealed against a conviction of a former Coure, - */ $ l, said he should be glad to know what his offence had been; for., . he was not aware he had committed .any__ The DEPUTY STEWARD—YOU. were - fined 10s.- for having two pair of scales deficient ; one two drachms, the other Mr. Pamphilon said it would be quite impossible 'to tally on business, if tradesmen were to be fined and kayo their names expesed in the newspapers, for such trivial deficiencies. - With these scales he was in the habit of weighing by 4he half cwt., - and a fraction of an ounce was never cliargedifOr instance an article might weigh 14 drachms over the mire, and he should not for a moment think of charging :le,' it would be given to the buyer ; yet he (Mr. Parnphilon) was fined for a draft of from one to two drachms. _ _ The COURT seemed to be of opinion that as the scales were not correct the fine ought to be imposed. Mr. Pamphilon—Then I have another plea to offer, and that is, that your own weights are not correct, by Aich you test other people's. The DEPUTY STEWARD—HOW can that be, .when: onr standards are tried by the proper Court. Mr. Pamphilon said he had some weights now which had been sent down tp that Court to be adjusted and stamped ; they lad never been used since then, and yet they were nearly all wrong. Two 14 lb. weights differed from each other at least seven drachms. Now if .he had used those weights, he Was liable to be pounced upon by the jury, to be fined, and his name published. This surely was a great puu- lie evil and ought to be remedied: The weights were now in Court, in order that the truth of his statement might be verified. The COURT assented to the proposition, and the jury left for the purpose of trying Mr. Pamplallon's weights. Upon their return, The Foreman of the jury stated that the weights were nearly all found too heavy. After some further conversation, it was decided that a strict inquiry should be made into the irregularities at the stamping_ office.—Mr. Pamphilon's fine will be remitted. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Attorney-General is fast recovering from his recent severe indisposition, but will not attend to his profes sional duties before next term. Mr. Sergeant Channell is restored to health, and has resumed his practice in the Com mon Pleas during these last few days. A married female, residing in Distington, previous to last week, suffered severely for some months from a pain in the stomach, and every means adopted for its removal proved of no avail. On Wednesday last, how ever, during a fit of coughing, she ejected from her sto mach a living reptile, above twelve inches in length, re sembling the water asp, and has ever since been compa ratively free from the pain she had hitherto endured. It is conjectured that the reptile had been swallowed in water when very small, and that it had attained its great size in the stomach of the unfortunate woman, who had been so long tortured by her strange and unnatural lodger.—Cumberland Pacquet.
