The Directors beg t• remind their friends whose premiums
become due at Michaelmas, that no extra charge is made at this
office for the transfer •f policies, and that they will be rated
on terms peculiarly favourable to parties insuring.
LIFE DEPARTMENT.

For the convenienee of parties wishing to assure for a ape.
cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower
rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici-
pating scale, one half the premiums may remain on interest
at five per cent. for five years, tints enabling a person to assure
his life for 1,000/. on the immediate payment of the premium
for 500/. For example, on the non-participation scale a man
aged 30 may assure his life for 500/. by an annual payment of
91. Ns. 4d., and if he can employ the money better in his
trade or profession, one half of it may remain unpaid for five
years, on his merely paying the interest till the expiration
of that period. So that, for the trifling sum of five guineas
per annum, a comfortable provision may be secured for a widow
or a family. £ s. d. £ s. d.

Mr. E. SOLOMONS are the mist powerful instru-
ments for the relief of deafness. From their minute construc-
tion, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear
them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed
with the greatest facility. By their use the lowest whisper
breathed at a public assembly vibrates on the organs of hear-
ing in suers. pleasant manner, as to afford the greatest relief
to these labouring under the distressing ailment of deafness.
Mr. E. SOLOMONS' PATENT SPECTACLES possess
the advantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted
through the various humours of the eye, so as to render vision
most perfectly distinct by day, or lamps or candles at night,
conveying also a sense of coolness and pleasure to the organ,
with the additional recommendation of being free from the per-
nicious attributes of common glasses. Their superlative ex-
cellence is attested by the following and many other eminent
practitioners, who have examined, used, and recommended
them in preference to all others :

The public are respectfully cautioned against some unprinci-
pled empirics who have assumed Mr. E. S.'s name and pro-
fession, and are from his immediate neighbourhood, and,
with the most unblushing effrontery, issuing from the daily
press puffs about " Newly-invented Spectacle Lenses," and
Hearing Instruments, which are fraudulently set forth as pos-
sessing the most wonderful powers. The Glasses are highly
detrimental to the sight. The names of some obscure apothe-
caries and others are used, in this absurd quackery. to deceive
the public into a belief that these pernicious glasses possess
some very su7ernatural powers. These common Lenses may
be purchased fur one shilling the pair, and for which the most
exorbitant charges are exacted by the parties, against whom
th public are now respectfully cautioned. Mr. E. S. has rc-
eeived for his insention " Royal Letters Patent," and the pa-
tronage of the Royal Family.
