This Institution is so constituted as to afford the benefits of Life
Assurance in their fullest extent to Policy holders, and to present
greater facilities and accommodation than can be obtained in any
similar establishment. Among others, the following improvements
on the system usually adopted, are recommended to the attention
of the Public.
An ample subscribed capital, invested in such a manner as always
to be immediately available when the claims by deaths arise.
A most economical Set of Tables—computed expressly for the
use of this Institution, from authentic and complete data,—and
(with two exceptions only) presenting lower rates of premium
than any hitherto offered.
A Table of increasing rates of Premium on a new and remarka-
ble plan, peculiarly advantageous in cases where Assurances are
effected, by way of securing loans or debts, a less immediate pay-
ment being required on a policy for the whole term of life than in
any other office ; and tho holder having the option of paying a pe-
riodically increasing rate, or of having the sum assured diminished
according to an equitable scale of reduction.
A Board of Directors in attendance daily at the office at Two
o'clock. Assurances completed and policies delivered within a few
hours. References to medical attendants not requiied when the state
of health is unexceptionable; but whenever references are required,
the medical attendant of the party consulted on behalf, and at the
expellee of the Company.
Females and others, to whom it may be inconvenient to appear
at the office, visited at their own houses by one of the medical
officers.
Policies effected by persons on their own lives not rendered void
in case of death by duelling or the hands of justice. In the event
of suicide, if the policy be assigned to a bona fide creditor, the sum
assured paid without deduction—if not so assigned, the full amount
of premiums returned to the family of the assured.
Policies revived without the exaction of a fine within twelve
months, on the production of satisfactory evidence as to health, and
payment of interest on the premiums due.
Age. of the Assured in every case admitted in the Policy.
All claims payable within one month after proof of death.
A liberal commission allowed to solicitors and agents.

1001. for Whole Term of Life.

PROSPECTUS.
In offering to the attention of the Inhabitants of Worcestershire
a new Weekly Paper, entirely devoted to the County, it is incum-
bent upon us shortly to state the necessity from which the under-
taking originates, the advantages which will attend its adoption, and
the political principles upon which it will be conducted.
It. is useless now to discuss the question whether the purpose if
a Provincial Paper is best answered by engaging in the wide field
of political discussion, or by confining itself more particularly to local
intelligence and the current news of the day ; sufficient is it to re-
mark that of the four papers at present published in this county,
three are distinctly Tory, and the fourth abstains from taking any
decided part.
With a view of laying before the public the great truths of poli-
tical and social science, our present undertaking has arisen ; and
while it shall be oar anxious endeavour properly to direct the minds
of our readers, our strenuous exertions shall be applied to impress
upon them the paramount importance of maintaining those liberal
principles which we hold essential to public prosperity, conducive
to individual happiness, and consonant with the better feelings and
nobler faculties of man.
With principles alone, it is cur intention to deal. If any one
looks forward to the existence of the Worcestershire Chronicle as a
convenient medium for personal invective or party calumny, he
will be disappointed: if any man imagines that it is established in
mere hostile opposition to any of the existing county papers, he is
mistaken : if any one believes that it owes its origin to the excited
feelings of any single class of liberal politicians, he is deceived : for
it is set on foot by the united exertions of County and City Re-
formers of all grades, and it looks forward to the attainment of an
end far higher than the gratification to be obtained from personal
invective, party calumny, or editorial victory.
The Chronicle will sift the nature of each political question, as it
presents itself to public notice ; it will lay bare the arguments on
which it rests, and expose their fallacies, if any there be. Our
object is to lead our fellow-county-men to come to conclusions and
to form their judgments, not from one-sided views alone, but from a
minate examination of the subject-matter in all its bearings.
Yet, with the very best intentions, with all the caution it is pos-
sible to unite to that openness of conduct which at all times shall
mark our course, bow arduous the undertaking ! how difficult the
management of a County Liberal Paper !
We cannot, like the Tory editor, address any well-compacted body
of men. We cannot, like him, guide ourselves by narrow party
views ; for " THE PEOPLE" constitute our party, and within
the range of our political horizon are Liberals of every shade :
there, is the man whose principles, are based on truth and justice,
on the full enjoyment to all men of civil and religious liberty ;
there also is he, whom prejudices (imbibed perhaps during a faulty
system of public education) prevent from acting up to the full ex-
tent of such principles ; and there also may be found the man who,
through timidity, often canines himself within still narrower
hounds.
To all, we say, judge us not by any single act—but take us as a
whole. If, for instance, we show ourselves favourable to " The
Ballot," and there are those, among our readers, who are not yet
convinced of the necessity for its adoption, let them not withhold
from us their support, on such grounds alone, but let them bear in
mind the many points sin which we do agree withthem, and let them
listen to our arguments in favour of the measure.
Let none c,nsider us unconstitutional, or anxious to subvert the
existing order of things, because we maintain that the constitution
Was made for the people, rather than thepeople for the constitution.
Our object is to repair, not to destroy; to improve, and not to
injure. We deprecate all changes proposed for the mere sake of
change.
While our columns are open for the insertion of communications
from the professors of all religious tenets, we shall ourselves ab-
stain from advocating the doctrines of any particular sect.
Upon all occasions we shall be found zealous promoters of moral
order and social tranquillity : convinced that these are the cherished
objects of every constitutional reformer.
To the Agriculturist and Trader, we shall afford the earliest in-
formation of fairs and markets, and of all that may be considered in-
teresting to them. The lover of literature, also, will find us an-
nouncing the appearance of the most recent Works, and directing
his attention to the first publications of the day.
Applications for Shares to be addressed to Mr. Elgie, Solicitor,
4S, Broad-street, Worcester : to whom also all communications are
to be made.

THE FREQUENT ROBBERIES of PLATE
have induced JOHN JAMES RIPPON, of Wells-street,
Oxford-street, to MANUFACTURE BRITISH PLATE of
such a superior quality that it will require the strictest scrutiny
to distinguish it from Silver, than which it is more durable; it
improves with use, every article is made of solid wrought material,
and is warranted to stand the test of aquafortis.

CA UTIO N.—The great demand John James Ripponhas had for his
British Plate has induced others to use the same name to au inferior
composition, and by charging a much higher price they endeavour
to persuade the public it is equal to that made by him ; purchasers
are therefore cautioned against these attempts at imposition.

Brandon, and by many families of the highest respectability.
The Junior Pupils in English, Arithmetic, and Elementary
French are specially superintended by a highly-accomplished As-
sistant-Lady ; and Rooms are set apart, in which the Pupils, under
the ears of Governesses, may carry on their studies, prepare their
lessons, or improve themselves with instructive reading in moral,
literary, and scientific works, which are provided for them in the
various languages taught in the Establishment.
Miss Murray, who occupies one of the largest and most com-
modious houses in Moray-place, in the immediate vicinity of the
Institution, receives a limited number of Boarders. Terms :
Under thirteen years of age, 40 Guineas ; above thirteen years of
age, 41 Guineas per annum. Other particulars may be known by
applying to herself, either personally at the Institution, or by letter,

Superintendent, a list of respectable private families who receive
Young Ladies as Boarders is kept by the Secretary at the Institu-
tion. The terms of Board are 35 Guineas and upwards per ann.
Parents at a distance from Edinburgh, who may intend sending
their Daughters to the Institution, are requested to give notice of
the same to the Secretary by the middle of September.

published, and may be had of the principal Booksellers in the
kingdom.

Institution, l a, Great Stuart-street, West.

About two miles north-east of Settle a new cavern
has been discovered in the carboniferous limestone, which
has excited great interest among the inhabitants of that
neighbourhood of rocky dales and mural precipices. Se-
veral coins have been found in it, ono or two only having
inscriptions and heads, and devices, which place them in the
Cmsaric age. Some of them, however, have no date to
establish their claim to antiquity or to distinguish them
from pieces of copper of a more modern date, other than
their being found in company with the more legible. When
first discovered, about a fortnight ago, beautiful incrusta-
tions depended from its roof and sides, formed by the oozing
of the water charged with calcareous particles, and which
after the water has evaporated, become hard, and are then
denominated stalactites. These have nearly all vanished
before the desecrating hand of the mineralogical collector,
and serve now to adorn a chimney-piece or beautify a rockery
in the garden,
