The County is the only Fire Office which has constantly made
Returns to its Members, and for a long series of years. These Re-
turns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have amounted to up-
wards of 100,000/.
In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided
among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of from a
Policy taken out by his late Majesty on his own life for 3,0001.,
whie'd additions increased to 3,9631.
-Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up within
a few years, and nearly as many new ones having been projected
within the last two or three years, it may be necessary to observe,
that all the substantial advantages promised by such new Offices
have been long realised under the plans and management of the
Provident Life Office.

BETT'S PATENT BRANDY.
The Patentees, being most desirous that the Patent Brandy
Should stand or fall by its own merits, are anxious that the Public
Should compare it with the finest samples of Foreign production ;
Cing assured that such comparisons must further establish its de-
fied superiority over every other Spirit, while its price is but little
zDore than half that of fine French Brandy.
The Only Establishment of J. T. Betts
and Co., is the Distillery,

Patent Brandy may be had either pale or coloured, sent free of ex-

THE RHINE: LEGENDS, TRADITIONS,
HISTORY. FROM COLOGNE TO MAINZ.
By JOSEPH SNOWE, Esq.
The want of a work which should include all the " legends,
traditions, and history" of that most romantic and remarkable por-
tion of the Rhine lying between Cologne and Mainz has been long
felt by the European public. It is quite true that much has beer.
written on these subjects, in various languages ; and that a great
deal has been done towards elucidating them in several forms. In
so far the subject is not a new one. But still it is not less true,
that the wild and wondrous legends which appertain to each par-
-ticular castle on that immortal river—the extraordinary traditiors
which attach themselves to almost every spot on its shores—the
spirit-stirring histories connt.,cted with its cities and towns and
hamlets, through the long period when it was not alone the sole
highway of central Europe, but the centre of European civilization
itself, have never been gathered together as vet, nor given in any
thing like an entire form to the world. 'the present attempt is
made to supply, as far as possible, that desideratum in general
literature.
To those who have traversed the shores of that stream, and to
those who intend to travel thither, it is believed than this book
that there can be no more acceptable offering. It is fondly hoped
that it will again awaken in the minds of the one the dormant
beauties of the glorious scenes over which they have heretofore
wandered, and fix them more firmly in their memory by connecting
them with the facts of history, or the poetry of romance ; while to
the others it is trusted that it will serve as a stimulant to quicken
their apprehension of coming pleasure, by exciting their reason,
their imagination, and their fancy. Thus recollection of the past,
and anticipation of the future, will, it is presumed, be blended by
it into one harmonious whole.
The pains bestowed on this production, and the time employed
in its completion, entitle the Author to hope for public favour.
No hing has been left undone to secure it in a legitimate manner.
The whole will he complete in a series of twenty-four Aionthlv
Parts, forming two handsome octavo volumes. Each Part will
contain two sheets of Letter-press, with beautiful Wood-engra-
vings from Drawing-8 by Mr. Butler, illustrative of the Legends or
the Localities. Each successive Part will also contain a double
plate, forming a section of a most superior picturesque Panorama
of the shores of the Rhine between the two Cities which form the
termini.
Part I will be published on the Ist Mav, Price One Shilling.
