BENEVOLENT FIRE and LIFE IN-
SURANCE, and NATIONAL BENEFIT SO-
CIETY, 351, Strand.
Capital, 250,0001.
Under the Management of a Board of Directors.

This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wea.thy, viz. :-
Ist. Instirii.g their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 100/., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Tra.dc, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value 01 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.
The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.
HENRY WILSON, Actuary and Secretary.

PLEASING RESULTS.—To find the ex-
ercise of our judgment attended by success, is the most
pleasurable realisation we can arrive at. Improvement of some
kind is generally the attainment kept in view. There is, how-.
ever, an object universally desired in the preservation and en-
hancement of personal appearance, and hence the importance
attached to the toilet. In this interesting department the ex-
perience of nearly a century furnishes conclusive testimony as
to the value of GOWLASD'S LOTION in producing a pure
surface of the skin, with the clear and animated tint essential to
afine complexion. Elegance of preparation, singularly:refreshing
qualities, and its positive effect in preventing the discolouration
incident to the season, will be found among the pleasing results
invariably attending the use of Gowland's Lotion.
Prices 21. 9d., ss. 6d., and quarts Bs. 6d.

PACIFIC STEAM NAVIGATION
COMPANY.
STEAM to the PACIFIC, touching at RIO, to land Passengers.
The Company's splendid new Steam-vessels CHILE and
PERU, each of about 700 tons burden, will steam and sail
out for VALPARAISO, touching at RIO, to land passengers,
and will ultimately proceed to LIMA. It is calculated they
will perform the whole voyage in about two months. The
Chile will leave the river Thames on the 10th of June, and
the Peru about a week afterwards. They possess every ac-
commodation for passengers, are elegantly fitted up, and each
will carry an experienced surgeon. There is room for a few
tons of measurement goods.
For passage or freight apply to the Secretary, at the offices
of the Company, 5, Barge-yard, Bncklersbury.
N.B.—The steamers Chile and Peru, which will be fol-
lowed by others belonging to this Company, are intended for
the conveyance of mails, passengers, and merchandise, along
the whole of the west coast of South America, extending from
Chile to Panama. They will be the means of establishing a
settled communication between the various ports in the Pacific,
and, in the course of neat year, when the vessels of the Racal
Mail Steam-packet Company are in operation in the Atlantic,
the grand chain of communication by steam between the whole
of that rich coast and thii country will be complete.

One of the objects of this Company is to extend the applica-
tion of a discovery of great national importance, secured by
Letters Patent for the United Kingdom, by means of which
British Iron is manufactured for conversion into Steel of sll
qualities, for which purpose, Foreign Iron alone had previously
been found applicable. Another and an important advantage to
this Company is, that the Directors have secured some of the
best Anthracite properties in Wales, situate upon the line of the
Llaneily and Kidwelly Canal in Carmarthenshire, containing
ample resources for carrying on an extensive trade in Coal as
well as Anthracite Iron.
Applications for Shares (if byletter, post-paid) to be .made to
the Directors, at the Company's Office, or to the Solicitors, of
whom the Prospectus, with full particulars, may be obtained.
Should the Shares not be allotted to the satisfaction of the Di-
rectors, the deposit will be returned without any abatement
whatever.

METROPOLITAN INFIRMARY for the
CURE of STRICTURES of the URETHRA,
GONORRHEA, GLEETS, SYPHILIS, &c. This Insti-
tution is closed, but as the Surgeon of it feels assured that
there are hundreds suffering under the diseases, to the cute of
which it was especially devoted, who would gladly avail them-
selves of his professional assistlnce, rather than place them-
selves under the charge of chemists, or, worse still, have recourse
to any of the dangerous and inefficient nostrums daily. ad-
vertised, he has made arrangements to see patients at his
own residence, at the mere expense to the patient of the neces-
sary medicine. Thus persons of limited means have now on
opportunity of securing for themselves a mole of treatment
that, whilst it is based on experience, is regulated by the pecu-
liarities which their own cases and constitutions may require ;
thereby freeing themselves from the absurdities and dangers
that wait upon the employment of one kind of medicine for all
forms of these diseases, without regard to these essential
particulars.
Apply at 42, Great Marlborough-street, Regent-street,
from Eight to Ten in the Morning, and from Seven to Nine
in the Evening. Op Sundays in the Morning, but not in the
Evening.

Th's is an establishment for nervous and mental invalids of
both sexes, conducted on highly improved moral and social
principles, and 'managed by a Committee of Gentlemen on a
scale of very superior comfort and elegance.
The medical department is entirely confided to an able and
experienced physician constantly resident in the house (J.
Anderson, Esq., M.D. ), whilst a number of well-educated
and talented persons, male and female, are conducting the
moral and social treatment of the patients, which is here carried
out to an extent never before attempted ; and with a success,
even beyond what was ever anticipated.
Those who have visited Denham Park have admitted that
no correct idea can be formed of this establishment, except by
personal inspection ; all detailed description is therefore avoided
in this advertisement, and those who have friends or relatives
r.quiring kind protection and constant medical care are ear-
nestly invited to visit Denham Park.
Prospectuses and further particulars may be had on applying
by letter or personally to Messrs. Boone, Booksellers, 29, New
Bond-street, London, or to James Taylor, Esq., Secretary to
the Institution , addressed, Denham-park, near Uxbridge, Bucks.
