" The. Times " Company affords guarantee to persons requiring the
same at the lowest possible ra'e, and divides four-liths of the profits.
Thus, by applying the justly popular principle of mutuality to public
guarantee, the premiums, instead o, being a tax upon honesty, be-
come a means of saving and investment.
Rates —From 7s. 6d. upwards. No charge for stamps or extra
charges. An allowance made in the guarantee premium, where a
life assurance and guarantee arc combined.
LIFE ASSURANCE.

Life assurance, annuities, and endowments. Payments taken
monthly as well as quarterly, &c. Policies indisputable, save in
cases of fraud. Arrangements can be made with this office to pre-
vent the loss of a policy where the assured is unable, from temporary
embarrassment, to keep up the payments.

THE MOST CERTAIN PREVENTION OF CHOLERA EVER

DISCOVERED.

rip HE BEST and CHEAPEST DISIN-
A. FECTINti FLUID is CREW'S IMPROVED CHLORIDE
of ZINC, for the purification of Dwelling-houses. Stables, Dog Ken-
Ship's Holds, Cesspools, Drains, Water-closets, 8:c.; the Disin-
fection of Sick Rooms, Clothing, Linen, and for the Prevention of
Contagion. •

Chinride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is
now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its
application and innoxious in itself. The high price at which it has
hitherto been sold has prevented its general use ; to obviate this
obstacle to its universal apnlication as a disinfecting, and purify:ng
agent, the present manufachirer, who was many years with Sir W.
Burnett's Company, has arranged t.) supply the public with concen-
trated Chloride or. Zinc in Ls greatest purity and at the lowest price.
It Is sold by all Cheat' sts and Shin ,inx Agents in the United King-
dom, in Imperial Quart Bott'es at 2s. Gd. each ; in pints, Is. ; half
pints, Gd. each ; and in larger vessels at 6s. per Gallon.
Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution
and use. Concentrated Chloride of Vile iu use may be diluted with
200 times its quantity or water.

SING SING PRISON, NEW YORK.—Three weeks ago a
convict, named James Dunn, escaped in an ingenious
manner from the Sing Sing Prison. He made his way
under water from the prison to a point about a mile dis-
tant, where he went on shore, and could not afterwards
be found by the officers of the prison or the authorities.
He did this by means of a waterproof pipe, the lower end
of which he held in his mouth, while the upper end was
joined to a small bag of air which looked like a duck,
and floated upon the surface of the water. By this
means he breathed while be made his way slowly under
water. Efforts were made by the prison officers to
capture him, but without avail. Learning that a num-
ber of prisoners were aware of the escape of Dunn,
and were planning for their own escape, the officer of
the prison resorted to a ruse to give the impression
that he was caught, and was killed in the attempt to
take him. A funeral took place at the prison, and a coffin
filled with shavings, said to contain Dunn's body, was
interred, for the purpose of intimidating the prisoners.
Citizens of Sing-Sing hearing of this, had the coroner to
hold an investigation, which brought the deception to
light. Information was recently gained at the prison
that Dunn had been seen in the upper part of this city.
On Friday evening Captain Andrews, warden of the
prison ; C. C. Childs, jun., clerk of the prison ; and
Keepers Washburn and Baker came to the city, and
having ascertained the residence of Dunn's relatives,
watched the house. At eight o'clock on Saturday
morning, finding the doors locked, they burst them in
to search for Dunn. Meantime Dunn leaped from the
window of the second storey and ran, but was overtaken
about two blocks distant from the house. He had a
pistol in his hand when captured. He was taken back
to Sing-Sing, to finish his term of imprisonment.—New
York Tribune.

NEW DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX.—
On Saturday came into operation a new division of the
county of Middlesex, for the purpose of holding petty
sessions, in compliance with the decision of the magis-
trates at the general quarter sessions, held at the Ses-
sions-house, Clerkenwell-green, on the 4th July. The
alteration was resolved upon in consequence of the in-
crease of population of several of the parishes which
have hitherto been incorporated with other divisions,
such as Paddington, St. Pancras, and Marylebone. The
two latter parishes have local acts, by which they seve-
rally possess the privilege of having sessions for granting
and transferring publicans' licenses, and for hearing
complaints against those tradesmen who have false
weights and measures ; but at these sessions the magis-
trates do not possess all the power appertaining to
petty sessions. These parishes will, therefore, have the
power to hold petty sessions. There are other parishes,
which will be taken from one and added to another di-
vision. Thus, Ealing which was part of the Kensing-
ton division, as was also New Brentford, will in future
be attached to kthe Hundred of Isleworth, as will also
the parishes of Hanwell, Greenford, Perrivale, and
Northolt, which were in the Hundred of Elthorne. The
new divisions are the following :—Marylebone, Pancras,
Paddington, South Mimms, Uxbridge, Brentford, St.
Margaret, Hanover-square, St. James, and the Strand
Union. The Holborn, Finsbury, Kensington, and the
Edmonton divisions are newly constituted, the three
first mentioned in consequence of the above parishes
being removed from them, and Edmonton on account of
the parish of Stoke Newington being joined to it. It
will depend upon the justices of the several divisions
when petty sessions shall be held.
