At the Annual General Meeting of the Governors of this
Institution, held on Thursday last, it appeared that since the
establishment of the Charity, in 1316, upwards of 10,750 pa-
tients, afflicted with deafness and other diseases of the Ear, have
been cured or relieved, including several ceses of Deaf and
Dumb. As a proof of its utility and its claims on public sup-
port, a few weeks since upwards of 120 poor patients received
advice and assistance at the Dispensary in one day.
Every Subscriber of one guinea per annum is entitled to one
patient always on the books ; two guineas entitle to two pa-
tients ; ten guineas constitute a Life Governor.
Subscriptions are received at the Banking-houses of Sir Wil-
liam Curtis, Bart., and Co., Lombard-street; Messrs. Barclay
and Co., Lombard -street ; Messrs. ITaitirnersley and Co., Pall-

GREAT ADVANTAGES OFFERED BY THE

RANCE COMPANY,
8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, and 2, Charlotte-row ILvasion-

house, London.
This Cempany, established by Act of Parliament, affords the
most perfect security, from an ample capital, and only re-
wuires, when an Insurance is for the whole period of life one
half of the very moderato Premiums to he paid for the first five
years after the date of the Policy, the other half may remain,
subject to the payment of interest at ii per cent, annually, to be
deducted ab death, or may previously he paid off at convenience.
It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate
income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his
family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance
succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy,
!laving only paid one half the premiums ier the first iv, years,
instead of the whole, as in all ether Companies.
Titus a man if 25 years old may, by an annual payment of
Ns. Id. for the first five years, secure to his widow and
Children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., subject

NEWLY INVENTED DRUMS.—These
Drums can be tuned to any note with the same facility
a string, their tone is very superior to those on the old con-
'ruction, and the improvements do not add to their weight,
• unplexity, or expense, but renders them more durable, ele-
, tat, and much more easily kept in order.
The Kettle Drums have a scale of one octave of distinct tones,
::c1 with the patent indicator they can be tuned by sight. The
ass, Tensor, and Side Drums, have a distinct scale of a fifth,
both heads are tuned, or braced at once from one point is

tents.

TIIE GREAT DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH.
—Our biographical literature has long needed a well-
considered and carefully-digested life of the most cele-
brated woman of her time ; and we are gratified to learn
that the desideratum is on the point of being supplied, in
a way that will not disappoint those expectations which the
interesting nature of the subject must excite. The mite-
rials for this undertaking are rich, carious, and fraught
with an absorbing historical and political interest; and
they have, in the present instance, been treated by a
writer whose acknowledged success in a previous work of
a somewhat similar character—The Life of Henry the
Eighth—is a sufficient guarantee as to the morle in which
the present task will be executed.
" THE FERGusoNs."—The following para-
graph, from the John Bull, may ho considered to clear up
the doubts that have existed relative to the authorship of
this clever novel :—" We have read with much pleasure,
a novel, called The Ferqusons, written in a most agree-
able style, developing its incidents most naturally and
affectingly. It is, we believe, the production of one of
LORD NORMANBY'S 13rothers,,,and partakes in no small
degree of the taste and spirit of that successful noble
author."

MR. BURKE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE
FOlt 1639.—The publication of this valuable volume is at
length announced for the 10th of May. Its earlier ap-
pearance was found impossible, in consequence of the time
required for making the various important additions—the
result of great research into numerous private genealogical
documents and public archives, and of communications
with all the principal noble families throughout the coun-
try ; and which will doubtless render it by far the most
complete work of the kind ever yet offered to the public.
This, we think, will be apparent by a perusal of the fol-
lowing table of contents, which has been handed to us:-
1. The Peers and Baronets of England, Scotland, and
Ireland, alphabetically arranged, with their pedigrees,
armorial bearings, &c. &c., coming down to the present
moment. This department of the work has now been so
far enlarged as to embrace the whole collateral connexions
of the Peerage and Baronetage. 2. Spiritual Lords.
3. Foreign Noblemen, being native-born subjects of the
British Crown. 4. Peerages claimed. 5. Garter's Roll.
6. Peers, in order of Precedence. 7. Baronets, in order
of Prccodettee. S. heights, of the different Orders. 9.
Privy Councillors. 10. Daughters or Peers married to
Commoners. 11. Mottoes, translated and elucidated.
12. Tables of I), ecedeuce.

y
No
males are to be admitted without tickets, price 3d., but to
coax the girls out, they arc to be allowed admi,sion free.
The females of Paisley will doubtless recollect the species
of gallantry with which Bailie Craig is disposed to treat
them, namely, that when the Chartist rebellion breaks out,
be intends to put them in the front rank, while he who is
stirring up the rebellion intends to take shelter in their rear.
We arc greatly mistaken in the character of the females of
Paisley, it many of them will risk their reputation for good
sense and becoming modesty, by attending such a meeting.
Every woman who has a proper respect for that decorum
so valuable and so crilLmental in the female character, will,
we are confident, not allow themselves to be seen within two
or three hundred yards cf the Church, lest it should be
thought they were going to attend the lecture on Charter-
isn).-- Paisley Advertiser.
