OPINION of GR&NVILLE, Esq., ffi.D , F.R.S.,

_ .
Author of " The Spas of Germany." "The Spas of England,"
" O❑ Sudden Death," &c. &c. &c.
"Dr. Granville has used Dr. de Jongh's Light Brown Cod Liver
Oil extensively in his practice, and has found it not only efficacious
but uniform in its qualities. He believes it to be preferable in
many re•pecis to Oils s•d I withou the guarantee of such an
authority as Dc Jongh. DR. GRANVILLE HAS FOUND THAT THIS
PARTICULAR KIND PRODUCES THE DESIRED EFFECT IN A SHORTER
TIME THAN OTHERS, AND THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE THE NAUSEA
AND INDIGESTION TOO OFTEN CONSEQUENT ON THE ADMINIsTRA-
TIoN OF THE PALE NEWFOUNDLAND OILS. The Oil being, more-
over, much more palatable, Dr. Gramiville's patients have
themselves expressed a preference fur Dr. de Juugh'a Light
Brown Oil."

—This preparation is one of the benefits which the science
Of modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind; for during
the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a cure
fur the Clout was considered a romance; but now the etticocy
and asfety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated, by unso-
licited testimo sale from persons in every rank of lite, that p:th-
lie opition proclaims this as one of the most important dis-
coveries of the present age. These Pills require neither atten-
tion nor confinement, and are certain to prevent the disease
attacking any vital part. Sold by Prout and Hama, 229,

NEW LABEL.—In consequence of the great
4.1 variety of Counterfeit Labels of A. ROWLAND ♦ND SONS'

succeeded in pi ()dulling from steel a new label, which cannot be
forged. It is composed of a section of an engine-turned circle,

GREAT CARNIVAL BENEFIT!
PROFESSOR ANDERSON moat respectfully begs to inform
his friends end the public, that his GRAND CARNIVAL COM-
PLI NIENTA Y BENEFIT and DRAMATIC GALA will occur

whole series of enkitaiuments, so that the visitors may partici-
pate in a round of uninterrupted amusements, more copious,
varied, and attractice, than has ever before occurred in London.
In fact, it sill be the that time in the history of entertainments
in England that any such thing has been ever attempted. In
America on benefit occasions, and when it is desired by profes-
sionals to pay a mark of respect to a deserving beneficiare, a
Dramatic ('a, nivel has been organised arid attended with the
most profitable results. The Carnival at Covent Garden will
be an effort to realise, on English ground. that which American
ingenuity and er terprise has already accomplished with success
in the Tiansatlantic Theatres. For a single payment the
visitor may enter the theatre after his morning walk, witness
the last representation of the Great Pantomime of 1556, atter
that see a Farce, then enjoy a cold collation in the theatre or
quietly adjourn to his dinner, return to his seat and listen to
the Opera, take tea in his box with his friends between that and
the Bu'letta, enjoy a twenty minutes' nap before the representa-
tion of the Drama of the evening. go home by the light of the
moon, and be again in the theatre on the following evening to
juin in tire frolic pleasures of the Bal Masque, and so bring to
an end the Wizard's carnival, commenced with being a spectator
to the fun of the Pantomime and terminating in being a i.artici-
pator in the hilarity of the dances on the same stage whereon
the Pantomime was enacted during the previous day. The
whole of the various Articles who are to spear, and among
them are those who take the highest rank in the Theatrical
woi Id, have most kindly and without reserve volunteered their
valuable sei vices gratuitously. Every employe in the Theatre
has, with similar good feeling, expressed a desire to contribute
their services without fee or reward. The Entertainment will
extend over two days, Monday, March 3rd, and Tuesday, March
4th. The performances commencing on Monday, at. 1 p.m.,

devoted to the Great Wizard's GRAND BAL MASQUE, which

frHE MANDAN VEUETABLE PILLS.
Sold in Boxes at Is. lid.
These Pills, though but lately introduced to the Public though
the medium of advertisements, have been long known and
highly pi ized by the friends of the Proprietor, who has dispensed
them for y eitrs with unexampled succesa.and who is now induced
by those who have experienced their value to offer them to the
world as a Patent Medicine. The ingredients composing these
Pills, and which are solely vegetable, have been in use among
the Mandan Indians from time immemorial, and, as active
purifiers of the blood, are a specific against all maladies to which
flesh is heir. They are so gentle and safe in their operation,
that the youngest and most delicate may take them with ease
and safety at any time and under any circumstances. They are
especially recommended in cases of gout, rheumatism, paralysis,
nervousness, indigestion, bile, eruptions, &c. de., and as a
spr.ng and autumn medicine for children will be found invalu-
able. The Proprietor is milling, on a proper application, to
give to the poor real y unable to purchase, or to ladies visiting
the sick, a necessary quantity of this meoiclne. confident that
the result will be the most effectual way of publisitinv its worth.
Sodi by all Chemists and Ortigifiatit, at Is. 14d. per box, and
may be i ad by post (tree) by imitating fifteen postage stamps to

ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION.

WEST•END OFFICES,
1, NEW COVENTRY STREET, LEICESTER SQUARE.
It is with feelings of peculiar satisfaction the DIRECTORS
of the UNITY ti ENE F.AL ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION
submit the following statements respecting its progress unit
business during the year 1855, commencing Ist January and
ending 3lst December last. It will be observed the amount of
new business transacted during that period produces annual
premiums exceeding 112,390. This is a very large result indeed,
judged by the average amount of new business effected by other
life offices, which aries from 23,1100 to 25,000 per annum.
There is but one sure test by which the progress and sound-
ness of a life assurance institution can be judged practically-
viz., the amount of new business it secures. No other teat is
valuable or even useful for such purpose: unless a life office
eontinues year after year to obtain a large new business, it must
rapidly decline and eventually cease to exist.

and thus be enabled to command such extensive funds, is a
success without precedent. It is attributable to many favourable
circumstances. The close connection of the UNITY GENERAL
with its powerful and kindred Institution, the UNITY FIRE, has
tended in many ways to advance its career. In like manner the
UNITY GENERAL has benefited the UNITY FIRE, whilst the third
Unity Association—viz., the UNITY HANK—will be of consider-
able service to the others. All three Institutions—viz., the
UNITY FIRE, the UNITY GENERAL, and the UNITY BANK—isl•
though perfectly separate as regards capital, lithilities, manage.
ment, &c., will be conducted in the same buildings, and thus,
while they feed each other with business, so will they promote
ticooomy, power, and an extension of their connections.

THE UNITY BANK.
All the necessary capital for the UNITY BANK. amounting to
2500.000, has been subscribed for, whereof £150,000 is paid up
and invested. Nor has the capital stock been hurriedly allotted
to persons for speculative purposes. The Directors have exer-
cised the greatest care in this most important particular, and it
is very satisfactory to know the Shares are all held by bon
fide Shareholders in very small numbers. This fact is illustrated
by the circumstance that up to the present period there are
nearly 600 highly respectable Shareholders, whose names and
addresses will shortly be published, together with an explana-
tion of the terms and principles on which the bus ness of the
UNITY BANK will be conducted. The names of the various
Gentlemen appointed as officials to the Bank will also be
published.
