The County is the only Fire Office which has constantly made Returns to its Members, and for a long series of years. These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have amounted to upwards of 100,0001. In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty on his own life for 3,0001., which additions increased to 3,9i331. Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro eeted within the last two or three years, it 'nay be necessary to observe, that all the substantial advan ta g es p romised by such new Offices have been long realised under the plans and ma nagement of the Provident Life Office.

MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN MEDICAL SCIENCE. Vince. veritas et prevaleltit " FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA TION for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, RHEUMA TIC GOUT, TIC DOULOREUX, LUMBAGO, SCIA TICA, RHEUMATIC FEVER, QUINSEY, Lc., is now for the first time introduced to the notice of the publie ; al though, in the present age of imposture it is difficult to put for ward a truth, however important, that shall net be liable to be confounded with the daily empirical puffs that are obtruded on the public eye. This consideration has for a long time deterred the proprietor of Feaver's Embrocation from advertising it. Feeling, however, a - thorough conviction of the incalculable be nefits it will eonfer on mankind, he conscientiously believes that, by withholding it longer, he would be wanting in the com mon feelings of humanity towards his fellow creatures, and of duty towards himself. He, therefore, no longer hesitates to adopt this mode of making this wonderful remedy generally known, that the afflicted may have an opportunity of enjoying the blessings it offers them. This specific was revealed to the proprietor's father twelve years ago, who then cured him self of a very obstinate case of inflammatory gout of thirty ears' standing, and although on that occasion he had been confined to his bed-room for two months, he was enabled to walk two miles within six hours after the appliettion. Since that period thousands, from the noble to the peasant, have been cured by it. In short, it is no exaggeration to assert that it has never been known to fail in effecting a cure, where the proprie tor's instructions have been attended to. Its 'extraordinary efficacy has been for years tested by several medical gentlemen of distinguished eminence, who declare it to be the greatest discovery every made in medical science. The superiority it possesses over every other remedy ,consists in its being an in noxious vegetable compound, in the perfect security with which it may be used (outwardly) by ,the most afflicted and timid Patient, and in the certainty of its bei.ig a sound, safe, and radical exterminator of the above-named maladies in all their terrible and agonizing forms. Original testimonials in confirniatien are in the hands of the Proprietor, Nos. 2 and 3, Friday-street, for the inspection of those who may wish to satisfy themselves on the subject. To be had of Mr. Feuer, Friday-street, Cheapside; Bar clay and Seas, Farringdon-street ; Newbury and Sons, St. Paul's; Sutton and Co., Bow Churchyard; Willoughby and Co , Bislaorsgate- street ; San g er, Oxford-street ; and of most of Co. , respectable Chemists and Medicine Venders in town and country. In bottles, at 4s. 6 d. , 6s. 64., Ils., lbs., and 30s. The label bears the autograph signature of the proprietor. N.B.—The public aru requested to refer to the London morning papers, from the 6th to the 12th of July last, for a let ter from Thomas Schofield, Esq., relating the extraordinary f cure effected on him by the use of this embrocation. INFLUENZA AND FEVER. DR. NORItIS'S DROPS are a certain remedy for Fevers, Colds, Influenza, and all Diseases that arise from obstructed perspiration. The Medicine here recom mended to the Practitioner and the Public is composed of articles known to be the most anti-putrescent, combinei with the iFengveredirsentof known to the profession, as the only certain antidoie every description. When the disease is produced either from cold, obstruction, bad air, swampy and damp situations, or putrid miasma, whether malignant or epidemic, or by other causes, this medicine is certain in its operation and effects, it produces the most gentle and salutary perspiration, and by a specific quality, peculiar to itself, not only expels the disease, but restores and invigorates the system. These celebrated Drops nave had the unbiassed testimonies to their invariable effects, of numbers of the nobility, gentry, and medical men of this Kingdom, and the extensive demand for them from the West Indies, and America, prove that in those countries they are held in equal estimation.

A Piedmontese correspondent of the Mannheim Journal says that throughout that country and Upper Italy it is commonly expected that France will make the attempt, in case of a war, to seize on Savoy and Pied mont ; and that, in consequence of this, the most active preparations are making to put every thing in a proper state of defence. Chambery, this letter adds, would make the base of any defensive operations that might be necessary, and would serve for the eoneentration of a Sar dinian and Austrian army. The horses from Switzerland and Germany for remounting the cavalry had put that branch of the service in capital condition. The King of Sardinia and the Prince of Savoy wore making frequent reviews of the troops, PUBLICATION S. Just published, in 3 vols. post B y o. H E PLAYFAIR PAPERS; OR, BROTHER JONATHAN.

The Work which is new presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the ai dinary practitioner. Te enter into the details o f affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely nut of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by Whom the bock will not be found interesting, whe ther eye consider such person to Mid the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, er a CLERGYMAN. ,The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which ior want ef a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tepths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, hart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, a t l eas t the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices se often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked 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 th e real cause 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 twofold 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 outs he disastrous consequences Which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, Ne. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five ill Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion.

THIS ADMINISTRATION OF THE POOR LAWS IN THE CITY OF LONDON. Alderman WILSON having made an appointment to sit yesterday at the Mansion-house, attended at the usual hour, and disposed of all the cases on the list. The Commissioner of the City Police immediately afterwards made his appearance, in consequence of the publication of the Report relative to the administration of ti-! PoOr-laws in the City, upon which subject he supposed some observations would be made ; and in compliance with the suggestions in which he conjectured orders "might be issued to those who were in immediate contact with the destitute objects:about the streets. At the equest of Alderman Wilson, Mr. Pewtress, the Deputy of Bridge ward, who objected in the PJlice Committee to the manner in which the law lies been bit herto admiaistered, attended, and Mr.Thwaios, one of the relieving officers of the City of London Union, who was in waiting on other business, remained in the room at the desire of the Alderman during the conver sation, which took place relative to the future course which it might be deemed advisable to adopt with re gard to the masses of poor which crowded into the City at this severe season. Alderman WILSON said that he had read Mr. Pewtress's statement, and acquiesced in the propriety of many of the observations with-respeet—ttrttie -admi- nistration of the law. He was quite prepared to say that the Relieving Officer was compclable to give shelter and covering, as welt as bread, to the destitute, and that all those things were comprehended 'in the word " which some people frittered' away into a - very. small and inadequate meaning indeed. If, therefore, the City Police Commis'ioner thought it right to give advice to his men to take any destitute person who should be in the streets to the Relieving Officers, and to insist that such destitute persons should be supplied with shelter, as well as what were called the necessaries of life ; and if the Relieving Officers should refuse to comply, he (Alderman Wilson) upon being applied to would grant a summons to such Relieving Officers, and upon proof of their non-compliance levy the heavy pe nalties named in the Act. if subsequently the Guar dians of the Poor thought proper to defend such refusal upon the part of the Relieving Officers, they might, if they pleased, issue a mandamus or any other process against him, and let the matter come far decision before the highest tribunals. It was decidedly time to settle a question so completely matter of life and death with the poor, to whom a piece of a loaf and a sixpence could net, THE COMMERCIAL LERS' SOCIETY. particularly at this seyere season, be deemed to be relief. Mr. THWAITES (the Relieving Officer of the City of London Union) said that he had considered it to be his duty to follow up the si:ggestions given by Alder man Wilson when Lord Mayor, but he and Mr. Jopp, his brother Relieving O'licer, were placed in consider able difficulty in havip, no workhouse nearer than Peck ham to which to semi the numerous destitute persons who applied to thew for shelter. At all hours of the night application was made to them, and they had no alternative ; whatever might be the hour, the season, or the weather, they could only give orders of admis sion to Peckham. Something certainly ought to be done. Alderman WILSON said that it was one of the greatest blots upon the character of a very large district of the City of London that there was no place of shelter for the poor. To be sore there was a refuge for the house less open to receive wretched Wanderers at this despe rate season. Mr. PEWTRESS—And such a place there aught not to be. The establishment of such a refuge is calculated to do great injury. The poor can be, and must be, otherwise provided for. Alderman WILSON said he knew well the evil effect of such a refuge, but the fact was, present circum stances rendered it imperative upon the Committee to throw open the doors, or the poor would perish. He was astonished that, although the Poor-laws were now three years in operation in the City, the Guardians of the City of London Union had no place of shelter for those who stood in such need of it. Mr. HOBLER. said that there were two, and he be- lieved those workhouses were in the district at the time the Poor-law Amendment Act camp into operation in the City, any one of which workhouses was extremely well adapted to the emergency. That of All- Hallow's Bark ing, for instance, could have been made a very conve nient place of reception, instead of Peckham work house, to which poor exhausted creatures could not walk. Mr. HARVEY (the Commissioner) said that the ob servations of Alderman Wilson were well deserving of attention, and the Alderman's determination to act, could not be too highly commended. It was not suffi cient at a time of such extremity to express the feelings of humanity. A substantia) amount in the shape of relief must be made. What excuse bad the Guardians of the Poor of the City of London Union for not ad ministering the relief enjoined by law ? They hid no place for the reception of the destitute nearer than Peckham—why did they not provide a place ? What did the law enjoin ? Not that the Relieving Officers should give a poor creature a piece of bread or a six pence, and then a dismissal ; but that they should give him food and shelter, and medicine, if required, and keep him in supply until the next meeting of the Board of Guardians, when, if he was found to be an impos tor, the Magistrate would deal with him, but if he was found to be merely destitute, and not criminal, he should be passed to his legal settlement. Now, was such the case with the City of London Union? Just the reverse. The law was constantly violated in that extensive district, and the violation afforded a most dangerous precedent, which might be acted upon to a frightful extent. He begged to call the attention of the Alderman to the returns made by him to the Po lice Committee. It appeared from that return that a number of individuals had been brought as destitute poor to Mr. Jopp and Mr. Thwaites, the Relieving Officers of the City of London Union. He did not mean at all to reflect upon the conduct of these Officers—it was the system he must be understood as objecting to. Of these 182 were relieved with pieces of bread, 90 relieved with money, 83 received into the house, and '2.0 refused ; so that, out of 275 persons, no more than 83 were dealt with according to law. To be sure, they were all told that if they wished they might go to the workhouse, but the idea of giving an invitation to destitute crea tures to walk four or five miles, and then go to bed, was mere mockery. It was nothing better than offering an insult to misery, and it was in the teeth of the law at the same time. It happened that there was a case on the preceding night which was illustrative of the effect of such gross violations of the law as he complained of. A Scotch girl was in a destitute state, and upon appli cation to Mr. Jopp she received her quantum of relief —a piece of bread. That relief was to serve her ne cessities, and after having eaten it she might have sat down and perished, or fallen a victim in any other way, if it had not been for a policeman wbo pitied and pro tected her. Now, how was that poor girl, fatigued, and ignorant, and inexperienced, to be expected to set off in the dead of the night for Peckham ? Why it was monstrous to permit such an inhuman practice as thepre scription of a journey to Peckham after the exhaustion and starvation of the day. It was proper to notice ttre system adopted in the East London Union , of which the Relie vin g Officer was Mr. Roberts, who relieved none with bread, none with money, refused none, but received eighty •one, all who applied. In that Union there was a house, and the coarse pursued was unexceptionable. In the West London Union too, of which Messrs. Miller and Carvill are the Relieving Officers, 300 were received into the house, and although there were some violations of the law in relieving with bread, they were so few as to be mentioned as mark ing the contrast. It was quite clear that the plan of send ing to Peckham was adopted to prevent parochial expense. Perhaps it was calculated that the hand of death might lend its assistance more speedily on unseasonable journeys to those who were unable undertake them. At all events, the voice of humanity cried aloud for a change. The City ought not to hesitate in such a case. The rates in the City were very trivial. Some parishes were without any rates at all, and he was convinced that the subject would be taken up actively by those who were not only to pay rates but to compassionate the poor. For his part he should in struct his officers to insist that the Relieving Officers shall give shelter to the destitute, and in the event of refusal to charge them with the offence before the Lord Mayor. Mr. PEWTRESS said that if the Commissioner adopted that plan he had no doubt as to the remedy of the evil, which was a fearful one. If the Commissioner were met with refusal to act according to law from the relieving overseers, and applied at the Mansion-house for sum monses, the penalties would soon produce a workhouse— . 4/ might be inflicted for a first offence, 101. for a second, and 20/. for a third. Alderman WILSON stated that he apprehended there I existed differences of opinion as to the extent of relief which it was lawful to administer. Ile:believed that the word meant clothing as well as shelter and food. Surely in such weather as put the glass eighteen below the freezing point, clothing, was a necessary of life. He agreed with the Commissioner that the City Poor -rates were exceedingly low, and he was perfectly convinced that the humane inhabitants who paid so little would, upon reading the statement of facts, melancholy as they were, and not at all overcharged, take the matter into their serious consideration at a time when the claims upon general humanity were so powerful. Mr. PEW TRESS observed that the average of the Poor rates through the city was not more than eighteen pence in the pound. He trusted that the City of London Union would not much longer have the discreditable distinction of being without a place for the reception of the poor, and he looked to the City Magistracy and the Commissioners to see that the law Was carried fully into effect. Alderman WILSON asked Mr. Thwaites what his direc tions were ? Mr. THWAITES said that he was obliged' to get up at all hours of the night, and to give orders to those who ap plied to be admitted into the Peckham workhouse, and jf any of the applicants were unable to go to that place, he had to appeal to the humanity of the police for assistance to them. . .

The very pinching of the weather is sufficient to give a man an addltionar iiiipulse. The Commissiosaa—Yes.

MANCHESTER.—TUESDAY EVININO. There are so many attractions at Christmas, that it may reasonably be expected that the turf market, as well as others, may be somewhat dull. We have nothing p offer in the way of comment upon the Chester Cup, the entry for which closes on Friday. All parties seem,deterinintit • to wait its appearance ; 20 to 1, by way of sounding, was offered on the field, in a limited circle at noon, but no one ventured to name terms on which he was disposed to break the ice; 15 would have been given against the field. Tits DERBY.—Another second favourite (with prorpec.t of the leadership) appears in Tatimmon, noticed—brut lti" having, during - tiitr'past fortnight, been for a provincial market so very largely betted upon. He bad the es4ll to day of &tilt, and the top offer was 17 ponies to . 1 ; whilst a point more was offered in many quarters v. Marshal Souit, and in one or two instaAces 20 to 1 was got. Palmmon was coupled to Eringo at 9 to 1, and would gladly have teen so to - Sault, but 8 to 1 was the top offer. - Actoibeil feature in the doings, was the Duke of Wellington being backed at 40 to 1 in hundreds, and afterwards several oilers of 40 to 1 having been made, the • same parties- pencilled, down fifty hundreds to one. Both gentlemen seemed " cock-sure" that they bad made " a hit," the one in lay ing the copious odds and the other in accepting the same, even in the face of no disposition to increase the market price to any moment against the Duke's stable companion Marshal Soult. The Duke would have been backed against either Yen Amburgh or the colt out of Rattle's ebi ; a 101. note was adventured on the last-named son of- Veloci pede, the figure being 40 to 1 ; 20 to 1 was freely ofered v. Cameleon : the same against Eringo, with an ofFer en the latter, in a good quarter, to take 500 to'2o ; 1,000 to 7 was laid v. Sycophant, and offered to 10 v Warlock. The Nob was friendless at 50 to 1, and also 11r. Strdler'a lot at 331 to 1, 40 score to one was wanted. TRAVEL.. FORTY-FIRST ANNIVERSARY DINNER. The forty-first anniversary of the Comniereial Tra vellers' Society was celebrated on Tuesday by a dinner at the London Coffee House, to which a smaller num ber than usual of the friends of the Society sae dawn, but at which, proportionately, a very large sum .was, during the evening, announced, in donations and sub scriptions. The Lord Mayor was to have presided on the occasion, but was prevented by indisposition e - .and the ex. Lord Mayor, Sir Chapman Marshall, the Presi dent of the Society, took the chair in his stead. After the usual loyal toasts, The CHAIRMAN again rose, and said the toast which he had now the honour to propose, related entirely to the interests of this excellent institution.e4 Hear, bear,) He would be as brief as possible in stating to those who could not be considered as immediate friends of the Society, but who had honoured the present •Ineeting with their company, a few of the outlines of its history. They had this day assembled to celebrate the forty-first anniversary of its institution.—(Hear, hear.) In taking a retrospect of past events, it was hardly possible to con ceive that from a beginning so small as the erigia 7 Of this Society, they should have been able to .extend're lief during that period to members, widows, and or phans, a sum amounting to no less than 67,330/.17812d, —(Loud cheers)—and what was more remarkable still' was, that those who had been claimants upon the funds of the Society'to this amount, had only contri buted towards them the sum of 9,4001.—(L0ud cheers.) The worthy Chairman then proceeded to al lude to the old and staunch friends of the institution, one of whom (Mr. Chapman) sat on his left, who had, with Mr. Dennison, been particularly active in its interests. He need net remind them of the kind as sistance they had received from Mr. Chapman and his coadjutors, for of that they were fully aware. -= (Cheers.) The present number of claimants upine their fund was 199, namely, 62 members, 108 widOws,.. 24 children, and five orphans. They had lost during the last year seeee members, nine widows, six child': ren, and one orphan ; and admitted to their funds ten ineeihers and seven widows. With regaid to their . financial statement, they had had an increase upon their funds during the year 1840 of 309/.—(Cheers)—and the increase in the claims was 24/. Is. Although he (Sir Chapman Marshall) did not anticipate any difficulty in making up the wiles and means of the Society, the active exertions of the friends and members of the Society were still required.—( Hear.) There was one remarkable feature connected with their institution, which was, that although these was a funded capital of twenty thousand pounds, not one shilling of which could be touched, so few new members joined their ranks.— ( Hear.) He called upon the young particularly to re gard the advantages of this Society. He trusted none - who now heard him might ever find it necessary to be come claimants upon their fund ; but such was the un- . certainty of human affairs, and so unexpectedly did ad• versity overtake us, that there were many now upon tue _ funds who never expected it to be their lot.—( Hear.) ' One of their friends ; Mr. Walton, had proposed a .plan of increasing their funds, which they should have ' adopted bad they thought it practicable. But although •• • they had not thought it advisable to press upon the City of London, the Committee had not been tie mindful of his suggestion with regard to the country, and they had already received donations from banking establishments to the amount of 33/. odd ; and to the honour of a great many of the Banki throtighout the . _ country, they had responded to their call with. the greatest alacrity. The average age of their claimants ww—of members 671, and of widows 631 years. Dur ing the epace of forty years, which the Society had been established, death had removed all the original members but about 100—(Hear)—end when lie saw what large sums of money had been distributed during that period, he could not but think that he bad very strong grounds upon which to call on his young friends ' present to assist them in the benevolent work they had in hand.—(Bear, hear.) This call, he knew, would •' not be made in vale:, as the stevvierdN' lists would doubt- a less prove, in the course of the evening.—(Cheers.) -, He would not now longer detain them, but conclude by proposing—" Prosperity and perpetuity to the Commer cial 'Frave!lers' Society." The toast wAi drank with enthusiasm. la the course of the evening the Chairman proposed the health of Thomas Chapman, Esq., an old and con- sistent friend of the Society, who was one of its flounder s ; , • and was now with them after a period of forty years. • Mr. CHAPMAN returned thanks for the honour con ferred upon him, as well by the manner in which the company had responded to the toast, as by the terms in which it had been proposed by his friend, Sir Chapman Marshall.—(Cheers.) They might suppose it was a most pleasing thing for him to meet them after a con nection with their Society of 41 years ; but it was not without some emotion that he did so.—(Hear, • hear.) It was with peculiar pleasure that he first met the members of the Society, and that feeling had not in the slightest degree abated.—(Cheers.) When he had the honour of founding this institution, in connec tion with other gentleilien, who had so ably assisted him, he had anticipated great. things, and did lie now sly he had been disappointed ? When he looked round the room, and found that he could hardly plant his ct•e upon a person whom he knew 4 i years ago, it Was sit i i peculiar pleasure that he saw near him Mr. Berteard, one of those who had co-operated with him at that pe riod. He did say this Society had done great thine., and had gone on inareasiiig in prosperity to a high de ' . i ' gree. Tney must not look at the f un d s w i t h d i ssatis. faction, but should rather rejoice at t h e l arge a i n t nt t. of relief which they had been able to confer, — (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") 'r acy had been net- #f ing on the principle of benefiting their distressed fellow-. creatures, and they must not repine that it had run away with their tunds. — (Hear, hear.) He wished to > say a word or two in reference to the plan proposed by Mr. Walton. In the infancy of this Society it was ad vised that a small deputation of their body should wait ' on the different commercial houses to solicit support. A.' : deputation of three persons, of whom he (Mr. Chap- • man) was one, was accordingly appointed, proceeded with their task two days a week, and erased not their exertions until they had raised 2,000 guineas.— (Cheers.) He was of opinion that by similar means they might accomplish the same now. An allusion had been made to the donation which he had this evening begged to assure them that presented h e ir,,s stii t i o as th m ern u;h andlie devoted as ever to the interests of the Society, and that he should probable,' do the same every year as long as his hie were spared.—(Cheers.) He would couelud e by giving them a sentiment which had originated with himself, and which he had proposed at the first formation of the institution : it was this— May the young traveller labour, and the old one rest." After some other toasts and speeches, the Meeting separated. The collection for the evening amounted to 7761.
