The Bath Branch beg to call the attention of the Officers re.
siding in Bath and its vicinity to the following Extracts from
the Rules and Report of the Parent Society :
" The object of the Society is to provide a stock or fund for
the paying annuities to the widows, children, parents, and
sisters of the deceased Members, agreeably to the several Acts
of Parliament for the bonefit of friendly societies.
" The Society is open to receive as its Members, Flag Officers,
Captains, Commanders, Lieutenants, Masters, Surgeons, Pur-
sers, Chaplains ; and Officers of the Royal Marines, and their
respective Widows ; and by paying according to the- following
Table, Subscribers at their death will insure an annuity to their
nominees :
If the Subscri-
ber be Years
of Age.

If the Nominee be Five
Years younger th. n the
Subscriber, he or she is to
pay as under, and at the
same rate for every year
.C. s. d. exceeding Five.
Under 30 1 0 0 Os. Od.
From 30 to 40 1 10 0 9s. M. Andl7centrance.
40 to 60 20 0 11s. Od. These payable
60 to flO 210 0 13s. fbi. only at the en.
110 to 65 3 0 0 I 6s. Od. trance.
66 to 70 3 10 0 ills. oil.
" Should any Member be unable to pay the sum specified in
the above Table at one time, he is at liberty to do so by sepa-
rate payments of not less than 2!. per quarter ; after the first
quarter, interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, will be
charged on the remaining sum.
.No Officer, above the age of 60, shall be admitted, unless
he pays double subscriptions and entrance monies, as above.
No Claimant can receive any benefit from the Society until
the Subscriber shall have been five years a Member.
" The Committee of the Parent Society, in presenting their
first Annual Report, heartily congratulate its Members and
Friends on the eminent succees that has attended the esta-
blishment of the Institution, which is daily iolvancing in ex-
tent and consequent importance. They have the pleasing duty
of reporting that they have already 6,513/. 13s. 11d. deposited
In the Savings Banks as their capital stock.
" To afford a competent income the Society is endeavouring
to establish an adequate fund, in full confidence that as there
is no object more worthy the support of die Naval profession,
so there is none that better deserves it on grounds of policy.—
Every Officer who feels an anxiety for the welfare of his family,
is called on to enrol himself among its members. By associat.
ing in a body like that formed under the designation of the
Royal Naval Annuitant Society, every Officer secures, without
risk of failure, an annual income to his representatives, and
causes the Widow and Orphan to raise their drooping heads in
prospect of security from future want.
" Considering the brief period that has gone by since the
establishment of the Institution, the Committee with pride and
gratitude confess that the increase of its funds had outstripped
their most sanguine expectations; and front the constant corn.
musications received from all parts of the world, the Royal
Naval Annuitant Society bids fair to rank among the first be-
nevolent Institutions in the kingdom ; nor do your Committee
doubt that it will progressively increase in importance, and
like the Wooden Bulwarks of our native Isle extend protec-
tion and relief in the hour of need ; and that whilst England
possesses a Navy, it will he handed down to posterity as a last-
ing memorial of that brotherly love which is the charateristic
of British Seamen throughout the world."
Letters post-paid, relative to this Society, to be addressed to
Capt. James Garland, No. 3, Percy-place, Bath, of whom the
Rules of the Society may be had at the Society's price; and
who will also give attendance at his residence from Eleven till
One. Also to the Parent Society, Devonport, Leint. 0. F.

IMPOSTURE UNMASKED.
T" progress of Merit, although frequently
assailed, is not impeded by Envy and Detraction. The
aggression of Ambuscade terminates in Defeat—and conscious
Rectitude ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand
Object—Public Approbation. The test of Experience is the
guarantee of Favour, and has Established 'WARREN'S
BLACKING in general Estimation, of which there exists not
a stronger proof than the tacit acknowledgment of a host of
servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a
spurious Preparation as the genuine Article, to the great dis.
appointment of the unguarded Purchaser, and manifest injury
of Warren, whose character and interest by this iniquitous
system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes therefore
an indispensable duty to CAUTION the PUBLIC against the
matueuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who, having no charac.
ter to lose, and stimulated by liveries) in their nefariousur-
suits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium
than that of honour. The original and matchless Blacking
bears on each Bottle a short direction, with the signature—
RD BERT WAIL it EN.

- - -
All others are Counterfeits ; and in many instances the im.
position labels are artfully interlined with a different Address,
in very small characters, between the more conspicuous ones of
" No. 80," and " STRAND."' It is earnestly recommended
to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by base Fabrica-
tions of Warren's Blacking, to return the detected Trash to
the source whence it came, and expose the machinations of
rascality to merited obloquy.
Warren's Blacking is surprisingly brilliant : it excludes
damp, gives pliancy to the leather, retains its pristine virtue in
all climates, and, combining elegance with comfort, is an article
equally of indispensable fashion and utility. Sold by every
respectable Vender in Town and Country, in bottles, at 6d,
10d, 12d, and 18d, each.
