LIFE ASSURANCE.
The new principles on which this Society is founded, bring
the benefits t f Life Assurance within the reach of all. It pro-
vides against the contingency of misfortune during life, as well
as against the risk of death ; and even affords to the Assured a
fund out of his premiums on which he can at any time operate,
as his circumstances may require. It thus affords to the pru-
dent of all classes, the greatest facilities and most powerful en-
couragement to lay up a certain provision for the fui ure.
Among other advantages the z,ssured will enjoy the follow-
ing :-
1. Moderate rates of Premium consistent with security ; be-
sides the parantee of half a million of capital.
2. No entry-money.
3. Power of converting the policy at any time into apayment
in cash, a new policy, or immediate, or deferred Annuity.
4. After five years, two-thirds of payment on elapsed policies
returnable at death.
5. The Assured, on complying with the eonditions of tha
office, may, at any time, borrow two-thirds of all previous pay-
men.s, and the amount of any declared bonus.
6. Two-thirds of the entire profits on the Life Assurance,
and on the investment of the Guarantee Fund, divided an-
nually among the Insured, and at their option paid in cash,
added to the policy, or applied in reduction of future pre-
miums.
7. Great facility in effecting Insurances. Premiums payable
by one payment, or annually, half-yearly, quarterly, or monthly,
or on the increasing or decreasing scale.
8. Females assured at one year less than their actual ages.
9. Relaxation of restrictions on travelling beyond the limits
of Europe, except to places specially enumerated, and a policy
in force seven years not forfeited by suicide.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

By the operation of the same new principles, the Society is
enabled to afford to the public a plan of DEFERRED ANNUITIES
far more advantageous than any hitherto offered, whereby an
individual, by the contribution of a very small annual,
monthly, saving, may secure either a comfortable
provisionon hly for o r weekly saving,
in advanced age, or at his option, a large
sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death.
The industrious classes, hitherto obliged to resort to Savings'
Banks and Benefit Societies, will find in this scheme a far safer
and more profitable application of their savings. This Society
is enabled, by judicious and accurate calculations, to afford a
Deferred Annuity of a much greater amount than has hitherto
been offered, beside, the option of exchanging this annuity
when payable, for a large sum in cash, or a still larger Policy,
payable without premiums at death ; while, by giving to the
purchaser, at any time preceding the stipulated term of the
Annuity's commencement, the power of borrowing two-thirds
of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from
inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample re-
source during sickness and want of employment ; and, should
the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The purchaser has also the power of converting, on equal terms,
his deferred into a prese it Annuity.
The following tables are a specimen of the great and varied
advantages which the judicious application of a small saving can
secure through the Society.

CONFINEMENT OF THE
E BOWELS.
W. PINE
respectfully recommends persons who habi-
tually take Opening Medicines, to abandon the injurious prac
tice for the amgentlet instantaneous
'operation of a little plain
water, applied by eans of Dr. Scott s APERITIVE FOUN-
TAIN,
lady's reticule,
TAIN, which having been filled from the .toilet jug, may be
conveyed, unperceived, in the pocket or in
to any appropriate place; conferring upon the use of the Lave:
ment every convenience and comfort that can be wished for by
excluding
the most infirm invalid or timid female, especially of
air 1
W. P. begs also to announce that he has supplied more than
10,000 deaf persons with Dr. Scott's CORNETS, which, to
meet the convenience of all c•asses, are constructed of the
smallest size to which philosophical principles limit the utility
of practical acoustics ; and below which, no art or contrivance
is of the least service ! 'They may at any time be fixed upon the
ears in a moment, and as easily removed. Hats, caps, and
bonnets may be put on over them, which permits of their
being worn abroad as well as at home ; and they are therefore
available at church, public assemblies, and places of business,
ensuring the perpetual enjoyment of hearing to the deaf, through
all the varied pursuits and pleasures of society.
To be procured, only of Mr. W. Pine, Superintendent at Dr.
Scott's Medical Repository, 369, Strand (three doors from
Exeter-hall), London. •

AT a NumerousIMEETING of PROPRIE-
TORS, MERCHANTS, and others, interested in the
COLONY of JAMAICA, convened by public advertisement
" To take into consideration the measure about to be sub-
mitted to Parliament by the Government, suspending for a
limited period, the Assembly of Jamaica," held at the West
India Committee Room, St. James's-street, March 23, 1839,
The Right Hon. the Viscount St. VINCENT, in the Chair.
It was resolved, That this meeting earnestly deprecates and
protests against the adoption of the proposed measure, which
deprives the great colony of Jamaica of the functions of its
Assembly, and thus suspends a constitution cotemporaneous
with the first settlement of that colony which has been uninter-
ruptedly enjoyed, and which is based on the fundamental prin-
ciples of the law and Constitution of Great Britain.

That in the opinion of this meeting the suspension of the
functions of the Assembly will be injurious to the interests of
Jamaica landholders and the community in general, and is cal-
culated, in the present critical state of the colony, to place in
still greater jeopardy its property and welfare, and the success-
ful issue of the great measure if emancipation.
That these resolutions be transmitted to Viscount Melbourne
and the Marquis of Normanby, with a request tint their Lord-
ships will appoint an early interview with a deputation: on
the subject.

Thal petitions, founded on these resolutions, be prepared and
presented to her Majesty and to both Houses of Parliament.
That copies of these resolutions be transmitted to the out-
ports of Liverpool, Bristol, and Glasgow; and that they be
advertised in the public papers.
(Signed) ST. VINCENT, Chairman.
Lord St. Vincent having quitted the 4air,
It was resolved by acclamation, That the thanks of this
Meeting are eminently due to Viscount St. Vincent, for the
kindness and ability with which his Lordship has conducted the
business of the day.

ABINET UPHOLSTERY and BED-

DING, at the CABIN ET-MAKERS' TRADING
SOCIETY, 71, LEADENHALL-STREET, enrolled agree-
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 London 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, but they make every article themselves, which enables
them 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 eonly criterion by which the merits and de-
cided advantage of purchasing at this establishment can be fairly
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 oiven, and orders punctually executed; and lists
of prices may be had, from which the following is an extract

SIGHT and HEARING. TESTIMO-
NIALS on the Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS' newly
invented SPECTACLE LENSES and VOICE CONDUCTOR for
Deaf rerions.

From James Blundell, Esq , M.D. :
" 1 have now tried for some time the Messrs. Solomon,' newly
invented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much benefit ; they
are far preferable to my vision than any other Lens; the relief is
v. ry great, in particular by candle light, and in course of use for a
length of time the clearness ot the transparency brings every object
very distinct ; they can be fully appreciated only by those who, like
myself', may stand in need of them.
" JAE
I, Great George.street, WestinWestminster
." BLUNDELL, M.D.
" We, the undersigned, have been for some time making use of
Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses ; the astonishing
relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided prefer-
ence to every ether kind of Lens—the clearness of the transparency
brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the
most minute particle with perfect accuracy. They are particularly
pleasant by candle light, as they appear cooling to the sight, and
soften bright and brilliant light.—George G. Signiond, Esq., M.D., 24,

ESTOR ATI V E FOR THE HAIR.
O.J TO THE EDITOR OF THE « SHIPPING AND

MERCANTILE GAZETTE."'

SIR,—Being a daily reader of your usetlil Journal, I am anxious to
make known through its columns the value of a preparation called
4, Oldrdge's Balm of Columbia," for the purposes of restoring,
strengthening, and preventing the loss of hair. It was first recom-
mended to a member of my family—who, at the time was rapidly
losing her hair—by a lady of title, residing in Clarges-street, Picca-
dilly (whose name I have no authority for publishing), and by the
use of this preparation, the hair had ceased even within a day or two
to fall off in the way it had done, and that had already deprived the
head of more than half" its fair proportion ;" but before the package
—of but a few shillings cost—was consumed, the remaining hair be-
came periectly firm and strong, and an abundant" crop" made its ap_
pearance in place of what had been lost before.
As the knowledge of the fact may be of the same benefit to others
similarly circumstanced, I am in4uced thus to trouble you : and as I
pledge you my word that I have no knowledge whatever of the pro-
prietary of the production, nor object in the matter other than that of
a desire to render the information available " to all whom it may con-
cern," I trust to your usual liberalliatyrmtiosgiri,vyeoiut.rpso hbs:liccm.italiSH MARSHALL.

C. and A. OLDRIDGE'S BALM prevents the hair turning grey,
produces a beautiful curl, frees it from scurf, and stops it from falling
off, and a few Bottles generally restore it again. Price 3s. 6d., Cs., and
I Is. per Bottle. No other prices are genuine.
Some complaints have reached the Proprietors of a spurious Balm
having been vended; they again caution the Public to be on their
guard against the base impostors, by especially asking for OLD-
RIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA, 1, WELLINGTON-STREET,
