ALTERING BURIAL REGISTERS,
MONUMENTS, &c.
Many suffer an irreparable loss of property from the destruc-
tion of old, and substitution of false inscriptions in Church-
yards, and the surreptitious interlineations in Burial Registers
of Parishes, similar to the details given at the Vestry of Saint
Marylebone on the 17th of August, 1839, and reported in the
Observer, Times, and Herald.
The regulations adopted by the LONDON CEMETERY
COMPANY, lately established by Act of Parliament, com-
pletely prevent such .serious and distressing injuries. An
ITVo,...peactiousabpaitd,of Tetireclsoldiers, recommended from
the motor Guards, Adit day and Eight their consecrated
North London or Highgate Cemetery. The Company always
offer to maintain and repaint inscriptions, and copy them in
duplicate into parchment books, with two patent locks on each,
kept by two persons (one being a Director) in a fire-proof safe,
at Highgate and London, in which way the Parchment Burial
Registers are secured, it being of extreme importance to render
the authenticity of the proofs that may hereafter be required in
Courts of Law, from the Company's ample records, complete
and beyond a doubt.
Offices, 22, Moorgate-street, back of the Bank.
The great Egyptian Catacombs and Gothic Terrace in the
Cemetery, commanding a view for thirty miles, are the most
curious, interesting, and beautiful objects near town, being
about two miles from Gloucester-gate, Regent's-park.
Open daily, on Sunday after one o'clock. To avoid High-
gate-hill, go through Upper Kentish-town, to Swaine's-lane.

ably to Act of Parliament ; being the Manufacturers in all its
branches. _ _

The system upon which this is conducted precludes the pos-
sibility of competition for cheapness, quality, and durability, as
no house in Landon can manufacture at their prices. The
Society wishes it to be thoroughly understood that they do not
receive hawked goods for sale, like the baracers and haber-
dashers, bat they make every article themselves, which enables
diem confidently to warrant their goods of the best materials,
and if any fault appears within twelve months, it will be made
good free of charge. A trial is earnestly solicited of those about
to furnish, as the only criterion by which the merits and de-
sidipd advantage of purchasing at this establishmen scan be fairlo
estimated.

The funds of this Society provide for the members in sick-
ness, old age, and burial ; they therefore sincerely hope that
their humble endeavours will meet with public patronage.
Estimates given, and orders punctually executed ; and lists
of prices may be had, from which the following is an extract •

" Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced by the
laws of crystallization, but by the same causes which influencembeddede

it. Amber is most powerfully electrical by friction—Very hot, to
such an extent as to explode into fragments ; the workmen. too, are
subject to nervous tremours in their wrists, arms, &c. ; they en...
counter great danger by handling such dreadful excited etectrics,
Amber grows with lime, and is apt to take fire, and is of such a
soft nature when exposed to warmth that it swells, bubbles up, and
will burn away with flame."
The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir D.
BREWSTER and Pliny, as also by Parks and Heny on Chemistry.

ments, $9, Albemarle—street, and 96, Cheapside.
