The 'POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
:be Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The ltates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —Bv this plan only one-half of the
premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid
for the first five years--the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquistied at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNERS HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, ani the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 85 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life_ _

approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in

r hUE FABLE of the FARTHINGS ;
Or, a HINT from the MINT.
Two farthings of perfectly different dates
Met together—so fabulous story relates ;
The one had been coined in the reign of Queen Anne,
And the other was formed on Victoria's plan.
It appears that they met in a box which contains
The different coins of the different reigns :
When thus the old farthing saluted the new—
" Good mornin::, Victoria, how do you do?"
"Quite well," said the one with the Vic. in its name, '
'• And all in the nice order--hop you're the same."
" Well, I feel rather dull, but I think for alt that,
That you are so bright, we can have a nice chat."
" I thank you," said Vic, " for your compliments, Anne,
And I'll try to oblige you as well as I can ;
I've thought since I seen you what different scenes
Distinguished the reigns of the couple o: Queens.
Queen Anne," said the newly-coined farthing, " would stare
At the wonderful change brought about here and there.
My owner one day, as he often had done,
Made a call at
THE DRESS MART OF MOSES AND SON,
And chancing to drop from his pocket, I gazed,
Till really I could not help feeling amazed.
Such a warehouse I never expected to scan ;
There was nothing like that in the reign of Queen Anne.
The suit which my owner purchased there was one
Which honoured the Warehouse of MOSES and SON ;
And I know not a Lord in the Court of Queen Anne,
Was ever attired on such a choice plan.
yllsihii,chanwdetrielobroouugghhltraptrtilmieetlme,
• TIIE HATS AND THE BOOTS
Were novel, and st
You must own," said the Fadge, " that your own noble Queen
Swayed England when nothing so stylish was seen.
THE _ELEGANT FURS
Which I also beheld
Could never be equalled, or never excelled ;
The beautiful goods which I happened to scan
Would have highly delighted your mistress, Queen Anne;
31y wonder is this," said the new to the old,
" That the price is so low for the articles sold."
" I've been highly delighted to hear you," said Anne,
" And ;'ll try to amuse in return, if I can ;
But pray don't expect me to do as you've done—
You had the advantage with MOSES and SON."

THE NICOLL.—REGENT-STREET and
CORNHILL.

" Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy—rich, not gaudy ;
For the aparel oft proclaims the man."
THE spirit and meaning of the above quotation
may with justice be applied to The NICOLL, a patented
Paletot or outer coat, adapted for a variable climate, by means
of a novel and most ingenious contrivance, whereby it can be
converted at pleasure from a warm to a light garment, or vice
versa. The wearer's personal appearance is moreover im-
proved, and he possesses a most gentlemanly and graceful gar-
ment for either cold or warm weather ; not only this, but the inner

lining, when detached, can be worn alone, andforms a most corn-
fot table reading or dressing Jacket ; and though the tout ensemble is
rich in quality, yet it retains a moderate cost, such varying from one
and a halt to three and a half guineas, but can be had in London
only of the Patentees, H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114, 116, 12S, RE-
GENT-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL.

FOREIGN WOOLS.—" At the recent Wool
Sales, the whole of certain qualities of Foreign Wools, after
some competition, were nurchased for Messrs. Nicoll, the extensive
Woollen Drapers and Clothiers of Reg( nt-street and Cornhill. They
are all marked for Gloucestershire, as in that county the mills are
situated wherein the raw material will be converted into the beau-
tiful fabric known as the Nicellian Cloth, a species of naanufacti.re
introduced by the rrm from whom it derives its name."—The Sun.
WOOLLEN BUYERS and CONSUMERS are reminded that
Messrs. NICOLL were the first, and continue to be the only, house
in the United Kingdom that ever offered to the buyer and consumer,
for cash payments, the saving of all the several profits of the In-
termediate grades that continue to exist between the wool growers
and themselves. As will be shown by the above extract from one of the
public journals, the wool used in the manufacture of the Nicellian Cloth
does not leave Messrs. N.'s possession until it is produced in the piece
ready for sale, either by their Agents, or themselves at the Whole-
sale Warehouse, 120, REGENT-STREET, and afterwards when
made up into the fashionable and Patented garments known as the
NICOLL, the REGISTERED PALETOT, and NICOLL'S
MORNING COAT, all of which can be purchased singly of the
several recognised Agents, as also of the Patentees.

NOVELTY.—There has lately been registered
an article that cannot fail to find a place in every Gentle-
man's wardrobe, as it effectually provides for a long-acknowledged
want therein. The said novelty consists in a body garment some-
what in the form of a dress-coat—that is to say, it can be
worn without any distinct infringement of the laws of cos-
tume recognised in society upon ordinary dress occasions ;
but yet the garment is more especially intended for morning
wear, as a Riding er Walking Coat ; and as, for such exercises, each
will maintain his own idea as to the requisite ease necessary for its
fit, the inventors, in order to insure the full convenience of their
patrons, will keep ready an extensive graduation of sizes, E 0 that a
selection can be made proportionate with the nature of exertion or
the wearer's own taste—thus at once obviating any annoyance
arising from the cutter not immediatelely comprehending what is
wanted.

Although composed of the NICOLLIAN CLOTH, yet a most
moderate price is charged, viz., Two Guineas for NICOLL'S
MORNI,G COAT, as that is the name given to the said novelty-,
and which can be had in London only of H. J. and D. NICOLL, 114,
116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL.

Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist; mina gar,

" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.
" Sts,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years front
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony'. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general

FINANCIAL REFORM.
ST. PANCRAS.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting was held in the Veatry-
room of this parish for the purpose of taking into con
sideration the present movement in favour of financial
and organic reform as proposed by Mr. Hume and Mr.
Cobden ; Mr. Healy, churchwarden, in the chair, sup-
ported by Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., and several of the
more influential ratepayers of the parish.
A letter was read from Sir B. 11:d1, M.P., stating that
be fully concurred in the objects of the meeting. but re-
gretted that a serious illness, which had deprived him
of the use of one of his eyes, prevented him from being
present on the occasion. A letter from Mr. Hume was
next read, expressing his, regret that the nature of his
Parliamentary duties rendered it impossible for him to
attend the meeting.
Mr. HOWARTH, barrister, proposed the first resolu-
. .

tion :—" That the present synstem- of taxation in this
country is both unjust in principle, and oppressive in
operation, pressing with disproportionate severity on the
poorer and middle classes; and the expenditure of this
taxation is wasteful and unscrupulous, and requires a
thorough revision. This meeting, therefore, resolves to
co-operate with the Liverpool Financial Association, and
other similar bodies, in their efforts to effect a reduction
of the expenditure at least to the standard of 1135."
Mr. GOODWIN seconded the resolution. .

Lord D. C. STUART said he was glad to have this op-
portunity of addressing the meeting, as he thought it de-
sirable that he should express to them his views and
sentiments upon this most important subject. It would
not at all surprise anybody who knew him to hear that
the object of this meeting had his full and entire con-
currence.—(Hear, hear.) Ile was deeply persuaded
that the most necessary thing for the people of this
country to accomplish was a reform in our finances.
—(Hear, hear.) He believed that was what they par-
ticularly wanted. It was this that the interests of the
country demanded. The people desired less taxation,
and they had a right to have less, and they had also a
right to possess more power.—(Hear, hear.) There were
two objects which had brought hiin to this meeting, and
they were all assembled here because they wished to for-
ward those objects. He was here not for the pur-
pose of moving or seconding a resolution—because he
did not think such a duty was required of a Member of
Parliament—but to hear an explanation of their wishes
and intentions, and to let them know what his own views
were. He was happy to say he fully concurred with
them in their opinions upon the subject of financial
and Parliamentary reform. It was his intention to
do all in his power to lessen the burden of
taxation at present imposed upon them, and to give
them those rights which they were justified in de-
manding, and the possession of which would, he was
quite sure, be conducive to the interests of the country.
Financial and organic reform were both required. Or-
ganic reform meant reform in Parliament. They wanted
Parliamentary reform because it was by means of
that alone that they could gain financial reform—that
they could obtain a diminution of the burthens which
weighed upon them. What they desired was cheap go-
vernment and the means of giving support to their wives
and children, and to secure to themselves that degree of
competence which every man ought to have the power
of enjoying. It was only by reform of this kind that
they could possibly obtain the object they had in view ;
for unless the House of Cotemons fully and efficiently
represented the people they would not be able to stand
against those persons whose interest it was to main-
tain and defend corruption. The House of Commons
should be a full and free representation of the
people, and in order to promote so desirable an object
it was necessary to have recourse to such mean►
as they were now adopting. It had been said that it
was only by agitation out of doors that anything good
had ever been accompli,hed. But he must observe that
if the House of Commons were to be a free representa-
tion of the people, let all the people contribute towards
it, so that no undue influence should be used to induce a
man to vote against his conscience, and there would be
no necessity for agitation out of doors. The people
wanted one thing and the House of Commons wanted
another. The people demanded a diminution of our
taxes, and they were met by opposition from a majority
in the House of Commons, who falsely say they represent
the people.—(Hear, hear.) Fully concurring, as he did,
in the opinion as to the necessity for financial reform,
and as he had proved by his vote for Mr. Cobden's
motion, he would plainly state that if they wanted finan-
cial reform they must never leave off agitating for Par-
liamentary reform. Let them do all they could to rally
round Mr. Hume in order to help him to support the
views of Mr. Cobden. Let them take care no intimida-
tion was ever used towards electors. Let them take care
that the Members who represented them should not by
length of time forget the promises they had made to
them on the hustings. Let them have such men as
would insist upon a shorter duration of Parliament.
Supposing the most extended suffrage to exist, and the
size of electoral districts to be all that could be desired,
yet there was some reason to suppose that Members, in
the course of seven years, might not see the necessity of
supporting all those measures which they had advocated
on the hustings.—(Hear, hear.) Of all dangers to
which the people could be exposed, the greatest %as that
of being lithely represented in Parliament. Look at
what had occurred in France during the last year.
Louis Philippe had large majorities, but aid they pro-
perly represent the interests of the people? No, they
deceived the people—and caused it to be supposed that
they were satisfied when they were not so. But those
majorities did not prevent the sovereign from being
hurled from his throne, and the country from being
brought to a state of revolution. He would say to the
Government of this country, " Beware lest you fall into
a similar error." If you allow the duration of Parlia-
ments to continue as at present, there would be danger of
disasters similar to those which had occurred in France.
Let the Government place confidence in the people.
They have never yet deceived them, and never would, if
they gave them the power which they ought to possess.
Let them have a free government. The English people
were far too wise to wish for anything that would
produce confusion and anarchy. Every Englishman
liked to see those burdens removed from others which
pressed heavily upon himself. Financial reform
was required; but, in order to obtain financial
reform it was necessary, as he had already ob-
served, to lay hold of Parliamentary reform. Finding
them engaged in the good work, and having the honour
of addressing so numerous and respectable a meeting, it
was a gratification to him to have this opportunity of
saying lie was thoroughly with them upon this question,
and he would not flinch from doing his part towards
assisting to carry out their objects.— (Cheers.)
Some confusion here arose from the fact of a man in
the body of the room demanding the right to propose an
amendment, on the ground that he was a rate-payer of
the parish, and, after he had mounted the platform, con-
fessing that his name was not on the list of rate•payers.
A loud cry was instantly raised against him; but there
were many persons who defended him. The result was,
that he was thrust by force of arms from the platform,
amid cries of " Shame, shame!" on one side, and ex-
pressions of indignation against him on the other.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
Mr. HILLIER moved the second resolution " That
this meeting approve of and support the measures of
reform proposed by Mr. Joseph Hume, M.P., in June
last, namely, household suffrage, vote by ballot, trien-
nial Parliaments, and electoral districts, but look forward
anxiously to the period when the increasing intelligence
of the ago will extend the right of voting to each male
adult not convicted of crime."

Mr. HETHERINGTON seconded the resolution, and COM-
plained that the House of Commons, as at present con-
stituted, was not a proper representation of the people.
Amongst the Members there were 251 relatives of
princes, 41 placemen, 89 soldiers, 11 sailors, and 72
lawyers.—(A laugh.) They should get rid of the pro-
perty qualification, so that they might, if they thought
proper, send such a man as himself to Parliament.—

(Laughter.) Not that he was ambitious of the honour,
but he had no doubt he should be a very fair exponent
of the wishes of the people.—(Cries of " You would do
very well, Hetherington.")
The rezolution was carried unanimously, and the fol-
lowing was also adopted:—" That a petition be presented
to the House of Commons by Lord Dudley Stuart, and
that his Lordship be requested to support the prayer
of it."
Thanks were then voted to Mr. Hume and Mr. Cobden,
" for their earnest endeavours to check the lavish expen-
diture of the public moneys, and to restore to the people
their just preponderance in the Commons' House of
Parliament."
After this the meeting separated.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Last night the tragedy of Othello was played with
the principal characters reversed—that is to say, the
floor was acted by Mr. Kean, logo by Mr. Wallack,
Desdemona by Mrs. Kean, and Emilia by Miss Laura
Addison. As might have been expected from the
style of Mr. Bean's recent acting, he made especially
prominent the tender and pathetic side of the Moor's
character. The address to the Senate, and all those
earlier scenes in which love for Desdemona is to he
exhibited, were given in the best possible spirit. The
courteousness of the noble warrior was rendered with
easy grace, and the indications of deep affection were
evident without being exaggerated. During the in-
terview with lago, Mr. Kean most excelled where
Othello is still in a state of doubt. The intense sor-
row of his countenance when suspicion was first
awakened, and his honest clutch at a hope, when he
exclaimed, " I do believe that Desdemona's honest,"
were touching in the extreme. The return to
sorrow in the last act, when rage had done its worst,
and he had only to mourn for its consequences, was
exquisitely pathetic. It was surprising that one fine
touch was overlooked by the audience. This was an
acknowledgment of a participation in the attempted
murder of Cassio, expressed in the look by the mono-
syllable " Ay," and illustrated by Mr. Kean with a
movement of countenance in which sorrow and shame
were finely concentrated. The devotion of Desde-
mona to her husband, and her agony of grief when
her fidelity was suspected, were, of course, finely
rendered by Mrs. Kean, who, moreover, " looked" the
character to perfection. Miss Laura Addison brought
back to the stage the stormy Emilia, whom Mrs.
Kean had removed, and the energy, which she cer-
tainly did not lack, called forth all her peculiarities of
declamation to a striking degree. Mr. Wallack's
lago is
.infinitely better than his Othello. Both cha-
racters are mere conventional interpretations, but the
" ancient" gives less scope foi extravagance than
the " noble Moor." A new farce, by Mr.
Stirling Coyne, called Separate faintenance,
concluded the evening's entertainment, amid
roars of laughter. It is wondrously extravagant and
improbable, but Mr. Coyne has the knack of uniting
extravagancies and improbabilities with a spirit of
genial " fun" that renders them most palatable. A
husband and wife who lead an existence of small bick-
erings agree to divide their house between them, the
large central room in which the action takes place
being cut in two by the seam of the carpet, so that
each may possess a half. The emancipated husband
talks of amusing himself at the Casino, and the "femme
libre," to awaken his jealousy, entertains asmall party
of female friends, dressed as young officers. Finally
both pretend to commit suicide, and a most comical
scence is produced by each mistaking the other for a
ghost, and confessing his and her peccadillos. Of
course, the scene leads to a discovery and a recon-
ciliation. The reader has only to fancy Mr. Keeley
in a perpetual state of annoyance, Mrs. Keeley as a
lady standing up for her rights, and Mrs. Humby as
a housemaid, half-stupid wonderment and half-cun-
ning, to be aware of the perfect manner in which this
little farce was performed. The house was crowded.
