TAE COUNTY FIRE OFFICE and PROVIDENT
LIFE OFFICE, REGENT-STREET, were the Original
Offices which effected Insurances upon the principle of combining
the security of an adequate permanent Capital (in addition to the
fluctuating Funds aniang from the Premiums) with the beneficial
rule of returning, at stated periods, the Surplus of the annual Pre-
miums to the Contributors, after paying losses and expenses. The
importance of this improvement is acknowledged by extraordinary
public approbation, and by the numerous imitations of it, which
new Offices have lately offered, and which older ones have adopted
in changin* their Constitutions. The principle is of chief value,
because as it yields, by the specific Sums insured, and the Return
of the Surplus, the fullest value fur the Deposits, persona have no
reasonable motive for venturing on the lure of reduced and insuf-
ficient premiums proposed to them by Adventurers, and which has
1.11 to frequent instances of disappointment and ruin.
CAPITALS, A MILLION STERLING
and upwards.
Seventy-eight Thousand Persons have sought Protection in the
County Mee, and have found it.
Claims have been paid to Sixteen Hundred Claimants.
Exempt front the Expenses of Lawsuits, and also from the sacri-
fice uf an enormous Commission to Agents, to which some new
Oakes submit, to induce them to canvas for Business, great accu-
mulations have been made. In these, Persons who now insure
participate equally with the original Members.
Returns of Twenty-five and Twenty per Cent. in consequence
have been invariably paid to all Persons who have continued insured
Seven Years, upon Annual as well as upon Septennial Policies, and
whether they have been Claimants for Losses or otherwise. Forty-
two Thousand Pounds have been returned in this way to about
Twenty-live Thousand Persons insured, within the last Ten Veers
--an important advantage which no other Insurance Office existing
has afforded.
Bonuses of 131.135. and 261. lb. per Cent. have been paid on Life
Policies.—Agents are appointed in all the principal Towns.
BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT.
THE SELF-ILLUMINATING NIGHT or DAY
LAMP, producing Permanent Light by Touching a

String.
This Invention combines utility, economy, durability, and safe-
ty; it is equally adapted to the drawing-room, the library, the
chamber of the invalid, and the °Mee of the man of businesa, and
is expected to supersede everything of the kind now in use.
When required for the night, the lamp may be placed in any
part of the room, and the string attached to the bed, by merely
pulling which light is produced. In the day it may be used for
sealing letters, &c. without the string.
To the Army and Navy, the Law and the Faculty, the Student
at the Univertity and in Chambers, to Merchants and Bankers, to
Public Offices and Private Families, for eve'', Bedroom, to Cap-
tains of Ships and Travellers in General, and for the Insides of
Carriages, it is particularly recommended ; and to the Lovers of '
Novelty and the Curious in Science, it may form an acceptable
present.
If allowed to burn, the Lamp will yield a steady light for 18 or
'2O hours without trimming. It is so portable, that it may be
carried in the iineket ; so simple, that a child may use it; and so
cleanly, that it may be packed with the finest linen immediately
after use.
By shutting the box, the works are so nicely fitted, that nothing
can escape in whatever position it may be placed. As a proo of
this, it has been sent, when fully trimmed, and charged with oil,
acid, and matches, from London to Edinburgh, by the mail-coach.
as a loose parcel, and arrived in perfect security.

'H ESE PILLS (entirely vegetable) are unrivalled in
cams of Head-ach, Loss of Appetite, Noises and Giddiness
in the Head, Lowness of Spirits, Flatulency, Obstructed Diges-
tion, together with all Affections of the Liver, and Bilious Dis-
orders. These Pills contain not one atom of mercury or mineral,
and are so peculiarly niikl in their action as to require no confine-
ment or alteration in diet. The most delicate females find them
materially beneficial to their general health, and all who have used
SIMI:NBA SI'S PILLS pronounce them the most safe, mild,
and effectual family medicine extant. Nothing can prove the su-
periority of these pil'% more than the numerous crises communicated
by persons of the highcat respectability, and the countenance
,hewn them by the lost riedical characters in prevent practice.
Naval and military men—pyrsons residing in hot climates--tliose
leading sedentary lives, and commercial gentlemen. will find them a
certain assistant to repel the attacks of disease arising from neglect,
itemperance, the want of exercise, or the effects of climate. One
Pill taken at the hour of dinner is admirably calculated to assist
viigestion, correct excesses of the table, and give a healthy action to
the stomach. In boxes, Is. I 4d., 2s. lid. Is. till.; and for the
use of families and for exprirtation, large boxes, by which there is
considerable saving, at I Is.
