GLASGOW.—NO. 33, BUCFIANAN-STREET. JAMES WATSON, Esu., MANAGER. This is strictly a Mutual Assurance Society, and the pro fits are divisible on a new and equitable principle, peculiarly favourable to good lives. fi In other offices, a share of profits ismllotted to all policies, indiscriminately, which have subsisted for a certain short term, as five years or even less ; although holders who hap pen to die at such early period, must occasion a loss to the common fund : the premiums which they have lived to pay not amounting to one-fourth the sum withdrawn at their death. • But in this office, the entire surplus is reserved for those members whose premiums, with accumulated interest, amount to the sums in their policies. The Premiums are about one-fourth lower than those of other Mutual Assurance Offices, which is equivalent to an immediate bonus to that extent. Thus securing the greatest present benefit, while the peculiar mode of division of the profits gives promise of the greatest future contingent ad vantages. A combination presented by no other office. The premiums have been deduced from the most recent and accredited sources, with such addition as to provide for perfect security. Annuities, lininemate, Licierreu, and contingent.

" GENTLEMEN,—B y your request I have, for several weeks past, experimented your Bricks in my Works : I have used them in the Cupelas, and find them wear longer than any we have used before. In the Reverbei - atory Furnace I find them still better, as they possess a property I have never noticed in any other make : that of not shrinking when exposed to intense heat. This quality will be highly valuable where elliptic arches, of long span, are required. I have used the Stourbridge make, and also several others alongside of them, on the bridge, and found them to main tain their shape much better than any I have yet tried.--I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, "W.

The style of preparing PRIESTLEY'S SEIDLITZ Po ERS is pe culiar to himself, and co m bi nes sc i en tific s i w i th great ku ac curacy ; and though nu m b ers o f peo ple acquainted with the business, and others, h ave o f l ate ye attempted imita tions, they have invariably been found to be spurious com pounds, neither possessing the agreeable flavour nor the me dicinal properties of the Seidlitz Waters. Sold in Boxes, 2s. each, containing twenty-four Powders, to make one dozen tumbler glasses, and in Tin Cases, 10s. each. The latter are put up in a very eligible form for ex portation, or to use at sea, and will keep any length of time in all climates. Prepared and sold only by JOHN PRIEST LEY, No. 52, Lord-street, where also may be had Seidlitz Powders in Packets. IMPROVED SODA POWDERS. It has been observed that the Soda Water, when kept in jars, parts with its carbonic gas; that carriage of it to a dis tance has been attended with risk and considerable expense ; and that, from these inconveniences, its use has been con fined chiefly to large cities and their environs. To obviate these objections, and to extend the use of this agreeable and efficacious Water, the ingredients for making it are offered to the public.—Sold in Boxes at I.s. 6d. each. FLUID EXTRACT OF SA RSAPARILLA. . . . In this preparation are concentrated all the Medicinal Pro perties of Sarsaparilla Root. To persons, therefore, who, from various causes, would experience great inconvenience, or with whom it would be utterly impossible to prepare the Compound Decoction, the Fluid Extract, which possesses the advantages of portability and of keeping in any climate, will be found a most desirable mode of employing this much esteemed Medicine. _ Two teaspoonsful of the Fluid Extract, put into a wine glass full of water, makes a preparation equal in strength to half a pint of the Compound Decoction, formerly prescribed by the London, Edinburgh. and Dublin Pharmacopoeias. The diseases in which it has proved most beneficial are those of the Skin; such as Scorbutic Affections, Eruptive Diseases, Secondary Symptoms &c ,, arising from a diseased state of the system at large . For removing Blotches, Pim ples, &n, from the Face, this Medicine has no superior. The extensive use and high reputation of this preparation has led to numerous imitatio ns , di s guised b y the name of Syrup, Essences, &c. The whole medicinal virtues of the Sarsaparilla consist in its extractive matter, and it possesses no real property in the form of essence, while the Syrup is injurious to the digestive organs by cau sing acid fermentati on . PRIESTLEY'S FLUID MAGNESIA. A pure transparent solution, in which all the virtues of that admirable Medicine are concentrated. As an Antacid and Cooling Medicine for grown persons or children it can not be surpassed, and being nearly tasteless, children will take it without trouble. In conjunction with the Syrup of Citron it farms an effervescing draught. The Syrup of Citron, added to water, makes delicious Le monade, and as a refreshing drink in summer nothing can be rnore agreeable.

It would be quite in vain to enter into any detail of its excellencies, yet, thus far may be vouched, that it is composed of the best materials, without any adulteration, and, in flavour, possesses the combined sweetness of the Grape, the fragrance of the Lime, with the exhiliration of Champagne ; and while _ _ THE LORDS OF THE CREATION will find it an excellent addenda to the Dinner Table, THE GENTLER SEX may not disdain to sip, the more so as ROYALTY has acknowledged its transcendant merit. It has been intimated that it will prevent SEA SICKNESS, but of that we will not vouch, never having crossed the " briny deep" with it in our possession; but should not Pro prietors of PACKET-SHIPS AND STEAMERS _ take the hint ? And although it may not produce that " con summation devoutly to be wished," yet, sure we are, its grateful properties are such as will be found to be an excellent restorative to the palates and stomachs of those who suffer from the effects of a sea voyage. It will keep in any climate, and possesses that sure criterion of genuine excellence, improves by age. _ —LE GRAND GOURMAND will find it a most social companion to his Calepash and Calepee, and the temperate man, while he masticates his biscuit over a glass of it, will be constrained to eulogise this incomparable Liqueur. " Come and try, Don't like—don't buy," is an old saying and a good one; and as in matters of taste every man is the best judge, this invitation is given in the full assurance that, if the Milk Punch only finds its way to the palate, it will quickly be acknowledged to stand A 1 amongst the list of those good things which cheer the heart of mankind.

IRST APPEARANCE OF AN EXTRAORDINARY AND NOVEL , AT MISS KNIBB' S COMMERCIAL INSTRUMENT HOUSE, No. 15, BOLD-STREET. THE ROCK HARMONICON , composed of Stones found in the,neighbourhood of the Skiddaw Mountain. This remarkable instrument is played upon by the Inventor's three Sons. The following articles, alluding to it, appeared in the Cumberland Packet and Whitehaven Herald:— " The Rock Harmonicon has, during the past week, been well attended, the visitors having been both numerous and respectable, and all who have heard this astonishing instru ment have expressed their surprise at the power and sweet ness of the music it sends forth. Indeed several persons who paid the ingenious inventor a visit were so enraptured with its music and so astonished at the strange contrast fur nished by the rude sin-plicity of its appearance, that they left the room and sought their friends to h ear it s enlivening tones."—Cumberland Pacquet. " The inventor of this strange work of art is a plain Cum berland yeoman, from near Keswick, and the rude materials from which he contrives to extract the most enchanting har mony are nothing more than a collection of slates or stones from the more unfrequented parts of the mighty Skiddaw. These are arranged in such a manner as to enable three per sons to beat upon them at the same time with small wooden mallets, and this is accomplished with so much dexterity and skill as to distil from the rudest possible materials the most rich and delightful melody of sweet sounds that ear ever heard or imagination can conceive. The effect is perfectly magical, and the listener stands entranced and wonder struck. Men of undoubted musical science have inspected this novel instrument, and have given a most flattering opi nion of the work which the inventor has achieved, and also of its vast capabilities."—Whitehaven Herald.

JOHN MURRAY, Albemarle-street, THE CHURCHMAN'S MONTHLY REVIEW. TT is intended to com mence, on the Ist January, 1841, a I- New Periodical, under the above title, to be continued on the Ist day of each succeeding month, at the price of One Shilling. The - want of such a publication has long been felt and la mented. There is, at present, no Periodical which even aims to supply the requirement which the present attempt is in tended to meet. Whatever may be the advantages of the volumious quarterly reviews which already exist, two things are abundantly clear, 1. That they do not profess to supply anything like a complete and popular account of the publica tions of credit which are constantly appearing; and, 2, That their usual style of discussion is of too elevated and erudite a character for a large proportion of the reading classes. Disclaimi ng , th en , mos t unreservedly, the least idea of competition with any similar work now existing, the belief of the proprietors of the CHURCHMAN'S MONTHLY REVIEW is, that there is not only full scope, but even an urgen t neces sity for a publication of the kind proposed :—namely, whi c h shall afrord, at shorter intervals than once in three months, and in a more popular and succinct manner than that adopted in the higher class of such works, —a comprehensive view of the Religious and General Literature of the day. Theology will form its leading topic; and it is intended to allow no work of any pretensions in that department to pass without some notice. other branches o f li terature will be contemplated chiefly with reference to their bearing on the great concerns of Christianity, and its progress in the world. The size and price, therefo re , w ill b e fixed at a very mode rate rate, inasmuch as it is hoped that the work will fre quently be purchased by those who continue to read other periodicals ; not instead of, but in addition to, their usual monthly supply. It assumes the title of th e C HURCHMAN ' S REVIEW , i n compliance with a common requirement of the present day, which demands a disti nc t and explicit pro f ess i on o f a well defined Religious creed. Its conductors have no reluctance whatever in avowing, that they are, both from long attach.. ment and personal conviction, co nscientious adherents to, and member s o f t h e Church of 'England ; that its pages will be chiefly supplied by the contributions of clergymen ;% and that one of it s l eading objects w ill b e , t o maintain the doc trines and constitution of that Church, in the greatest purity and integrity. It will be published by MOM. SEELEY and BURNSIDE, No. 54, Fleet-street, London ; and sold by M essrs . L . an d G. SEELEY, No. 169, Fleet-street; and by all Booksellers in town and country. -R. tall, ith, A. M.
