ANIIIIIOSIAL ROSEATE PASTILLES.

MONSIEUR LEBRUN (who had the sa-
tisfaction of introducing into these Realms, about
eighteen years since, the GENUINE PATE PECTORAL DE
JUJUBE,) has the honour of offering to the Public a New
and Elegant species of Pastille, which combines with its pec-
toral arid soothing properties, those of mellowing and improv-
ing the voice, by rendering it more agreeable and more flex-
ible. At the same time it imparts to the breath a permanent
fragrance, resoubling Ambrosia. This has induced the In-
ventor and Proprietor to bestqw upon it the appropriate
name of AMBROSIAL ROSEATE PASTILLES.

IPHE Superior Advantage, both to SAILS and
-IL STORES, of Prepared low-priced Brown Canvas, over
the expensive Coker sorts, is fully proved by the following
Letter :

Eden West India Docks, March 26th, 1822.
GENTLEMEN,-In March 1621, you prepared some Scotch
Canvas of rather an inferior quality for the brig Eden, under
my command.—l hail a quarter deck awning made of part of
it, which was hauled out occasionally on the passage to Ja-
maica; likewise four weeks at Kingston, and at the Havan-
hah for near seven months ; during the latter period we ex-
perienced very considerable changes of weather. The awn-
ing is in a good state, and I have no doubt will yet last seve-
ral voyages. During the whole time at the Havannah it was
furled thrice for a few hours only.
Part of the time, near taun mouths, a lower studsail of Co-
ker canvas, new on leaving England, was used as a main-
fleck awning, when it was found one mass of mildew, and so
rotten as to be totally unfit for service. I forward a piece of
each, with my seal annexed, for your inspection, and beg you
will make what use you think proper of it.
I likewise forward a piece of one of your prepared bolts,
which by sonic accident g-ot wet through seven or eight folds,
and was not discovered till quite dry, when I made a lower
studsail of it, which has been used the passage home, and is
perfectly good. Any o►her canvas, I think, would have been,
under similar circumstances, totally useless.
Wishing you every success which your discovery merits, I
am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant,
(Signed) W. U. .EDDIS.

COUNTY FIRE OFFICE.—The MANA.•
GEUS of the NETV NORWICII UNION' FIRE OFFICE
having, in the ex-planation which they have at length pub-
lished, " of the change which has taken place in the principle"
of their Insurance Business, thought fit to complain of the at-
tacks which they have -suffered, and particularly of the view
which the County fire Office has taken of their conduct, some
notice of their advertiSement may. be necessary.
The Members of. the County Fire Office had no intention to
exult in the " great distress, peril, losses, and differences," so
pathetically pleaded in Chancery by the Norwich Insurance
Managers,, in defending themselves against a charge of fraud,
and in justification of their acts _in breaking up the late Nor-
wich Union Society—still less did they mean to find fault with
the principle of their New Insurance Company, which, being
an imitation of the plan of the County Fire Office, is flattering
to its Members; but they have deprecated, and they do most
emphatically condemn, the unfairness-, not to say dishonesty,
with- which the.advantages, real or pretended, of the dissolved
Norwich Union Society are quoted for a course of years, and
are now advertised and foisted on the public as benefits which
have been.. conferzed by the New Com,pany, not yet seven
months old ; they assert the right of warningthe public against
:this.delusion, so long as it shall continue to be practised.
The Managers of the New Norwich Office advertise with an.
air of equal benignity anctstatelinesS, that they are " disposed
to act with a liberal and friendly feeling toward other. Offices,"
and comment on the fair and liberal course which should
mark the conduct of all public bodies." A liberal and friendly
feeling does subsist between. the Insurance Offices generally.
If the feeling toward the Norwich Insurers form an exception,
may not the reason of it be found in their successive attacks on
every respectable establishment, their personal abuse of all who
question their proceedings or designs, and their gross misre-
presentationS of facts ! The sincerity of the professed commen-
dation of 44 a. fair and liberal course" the public may judge
of, when replies shall. be given to the following questions ;
they have been in the Newspapers some days, but are not yet
answered :

Ist. If it be true, that the Norwich Union Society increased
so w:mderfully last year, as it pretende&—that it had in hand
the hundreds of thousands advertised—what, in the name of
wonder ! was the consideration that induced Mr. BIGNOLD to
break up such a Society, unknown to the Trustees and to the
Members generally, and silently to turn them all over to a Nor-
wich Joint Stock Company ?
2d. if it be false—will not the public tire of such tricks ?
3d. Whether true or false—why are the advantages of the
dissolved mutual Assurance Society quoted for many years
back, and advertised as benefits conferred by the Norwich
Joint Stock Company, which has not been seven months in
existence, unless to deceive the Public !
A MEMBER of the COUNTY FIRE OFFICE.
P.S.—lt is now discovered that the increase of duty paid by
the Norwich Union Office last year, which has been so much
boasted of, was produced by the transfer of the business of that
Office to the Old Norwich Office, so that the amount was for
the Members of both Offices.

ARITHMETICAL DIFFICULTIES.-
Mr. BEAUMONT, under the signature of A PLAIN
DEALER, (oh ! appropriate and happy title!) attempts to an-
swer (no, I beg pardon, to evade) my plain query, which I
must request leave to repeat, viz :—How the increase of busi-
ness in the County Office, amounting in duty to less than Four-
teen Hundred Pounds, could be greater than that of the Nor-
wich Union, amounting to above Fifteen Thousand ?
This perplexing inquiry Mr. Beaumont endeavours to meet
with something about my attempting to be witty • whether this
is a sufficient reply, the public will judge. The simple facts
are, that Mr. B. has continually advertised his Office to be in-
creasing faster than any other, whilst he knows that the increase
of the Norwich Union far exceeds that of the County • and
knows that this is the cause of his virulent attacks on the Insti-
tution he envies. •

Whether the Shareholders in the County will consent to pay
the enormous expence of these attacks, remains to be .seen.—
'Though it must be confessed that the power of the Managing
Director is understood to be pretty nearly despotic—and that as
Rome was once said to be governed by " Julius Caesar," so
the County Office is generally believed to be under the
joint and uncontrolled authority of Messrs. " John," and
" Thomas," and " Barber" and Beaumont 1" Avery ample
and doubtless efficient Directory.
The questions which the above Board, under the signature
of A Plain Dealer, please to put to Mr. Bignold, he could
very easily answer ; but I suspect he will not, as it becomes
rather irksome even to chastise an individual, who can advertise
in the Newspapers private Letters not addressed to himself.

. -
As to his P. S. about the County Office " making a canvas
throughout the Kingdom," I shall merely refer the Public to
the following N. B. or P. S. annexed to the Circulars issued
by that Office in August, 1821 :
" Vow will be personally waited on in a few days to know
whether it is your peasure to insure with either of the above
Associations ! ! !"

Query.—As Mr. Beaumont says—" Will not the Public tire
of such tricks ?" COCKER.
