On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person
under the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow-
'ng advantages, viz., I st. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure
a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system.
2dly. In the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive
in this Company, by the above example, which applies to all ages,
THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event
of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property,
of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments
lor ally number of years; whereas on the ordinary system, ho gets
nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the
amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time,
by giving a fdrtnight's notice. withdraw any part from II up to the
whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he
has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three
years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even
its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate
his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the
wtigain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as
Ina bank, with thisanpadipinabelaeseadovfadtoitaatghe,hhisowzielyr,
rtelreitvheemgoertes linhtaen-
rthesetatrohunstmor helys'savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do no
such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment
he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any
fund to fly to for aid, all his hall-earned savings become forfeited to
the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his
more fortunate co-assurers.
such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked
and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be
universally recognised and adopted when the principles are im par-
daily canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely dinged. It
confers greater advantages than a b ink because it allows a fair rate
of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the
hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in
case of death, thus combining the
ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF
AN ASSURANCE COMPANY.
In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSI
system aro still more striking.

3,833,280 TONS OF COAL,
of a quality fully equal, if not superior, to the best coals obtained
from this wonderful district, comprising " The Hill Delf Vein, or
Seam," which has gained a reputation of the highest character for
its hardy texture and bituminous qualities, being found most suitable
for household purposes, the manufacture of gas, iron, and conversion
to coke. The colliery has been opened, and two shafts er pits sunk
down to the coal, a distance of 85 yards. There are two superior
steam-engines erected for the use of the colliery, one a condensed
water-engine, with counteract, of 90-horse power, with 20-inch
pumps, for drawing the water, which performs the duty with half
her power. The working of the colliery, therefore, can be com-
menced immediately. The other, a winding engine of 14-horse
power, capable of drawing to the surface upwards of
100 TONS OF COAL EVERY 24 HOURS.
The buildings are most substantial, and fully adequate to contain a
winding engine of greater power, should the working of the colliery
extend, as it easily might, to
300 TONS ETERY 24 HOURS.
The underground workings have been formed by strong arched roads
and headings; there is also a second shaft or pit, sunk about 60
yards, at the top of the Great Bourt's 11111. called Bennett's Pit,
which might readily be worked to yield 100 tons per day. The im-
portance of railway communication almost to the pit's mouth, lead-
ing to every district of England, and the facility of shipping from the
Ports of Hullo Pill and Lydney, on the Severn, open a vast field for
supply, and is sufficient to authorise the certainty of
AN ENORMOUS SALE FOR THE COAL,
which will be most importantly augmented by the contemplated
Port at Brimepill, Government haying purchased the Hagloe Estate
with the intention of making that port, and a locomotive line
thereto, whilst the contiguity to the Lydbrook Iron and Tin Plate
Works, whore many thousand tons are consumed annually, must
not be lost sight of. It is a well-known fact that the only collieries
working the Hill Deli Vein to any extent will very soon be worked
out; and that no coals from this vein can thereafter be obtained till
fresh pits shall have been opened. Mr. Robins with confidence re-
commends this property to the notice of enterprising capitalists as
the means of leading to immense pecuniary gain.
Particulars, containing much valuable information from experi-
enced surveyors, regarding the working of the Mine, may be had, 28
days prior to the sale, of Mr Masterson, on the premises (where
samples of the coal and coke may be seen); and of Mr. H. Williams,
Engineer, 61, Moorgate-street ; Mr. I'. Robinson, Hill House, Little
Dean, Gloucestershire; of Messrs. Turner and Deane, solicitors,
Colchester ; Messrs. Humphrey and Marshall, solicitors, 12, Gray's-
inn, London ; at the Auction Mart; and at Mr. Robins's offices,
Covent- g ard en.
N.B.—One third of the purchase money may remain on mortgage
of the colleties and plant for a term of years, if required, at five per
cent.

ANEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.-
Mr. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, has intro-
duced an entirely NEW DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICAL TEETH,
fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resem-
ble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the od:dna' by
the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method
does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation,
and will give support and preserve teeth that are loose, and are
guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and that Mr.
Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical,
he has fixed his charges at the lowest scale possible. Decayed teeth
rendered sound and useful in mastication.-52, Fleet-street. At
