DIVISION OF PROFITS.
At the first Septennial Meeting of this Company, held on the 11th
March last, a BONUS, averaging 23 per cent. on the amount of
premiums paid, was declared on Policies entitled to participate in
Profits.
Four fifths, or $0 per cent. of the entire Profits of the Company,
will at future divisions be appropriated to all Assurers entitled to
share therein.
Every advantage is offered by this Company to Assurers.
On Policies taken out for the whole term of life, one-half of the An-
nual Premiums thereon may remain unpaid for five years.
Parties Assured with the Company arc allowed to reside in many
of the Colonies without additional eharge, and the Premium required
for the East or West Indies, and other extra risks, is more than
usually moderate.
By a plan originating with this Company, great security is offered
to parties Assuring the Lives of others.
Advances continue to be made to Assurers on Assignable Property
or Income, and also on the guarantee of most undoubted personal
sureties.
Detailed Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, by

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE UNITED BOROUGHS OF MON-

DEAR AND HONOURED FRIENDS !
IN consequence of the unworthy attempts that
have been made lately by Sir Benjamin Hall, Baronet, M.P. for
Maryleb ne, to misrepresent my conduct, and to deprive me of your
favor,* which I value "as -the ruddy drops that warm this heart,"
I have made it my pleasing duty to call personally on each elector,
and to ascertain from all with whom I could obtain an interview,
what were their sentiments in regard to my pretensions for again re-
presenting your Boroughs. lam happy to find that the feelings of
the constituency are almost unanimously in my favour, and that
they it..e prepared to support me by an overwhelming majority
against any opponent.

For all Youi kindness accept the best thanks of a grateful heart,
and rest assured that no exertions on my part shall be wanting to
repay th's renewed mark of your confidence.
With the deepest emotions of respect and gratitude,
I hare the honour to be,
Your very obliged and sincere friend and servant,
REGINALD J. BLEWITT.

purchasers are particularly requested to see that the name of LEA
and PERRINS are upon the Label and the Metallic Capsules, as also
to read the Testimonials (which are enclosed with every bottle)
from the residence of Royalty, the principal Club Houses and Ho-
tels in London, Edinburgh, &c. &c., and from private Families in
the country.

REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION.
A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy
the defects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Bally
a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842,
on returning from Barlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re-
sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill-
ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con-
*inued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly
bald as if his head had been shaved;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel,
then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for
his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the
effect of ROWL AND'S MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying
to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was
used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very
thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity,
that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl,
the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly
for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger.
*** Beware of " Spurious Imitations !—The genuine article has
the words " ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL " on the wrapper.
Price 3s. 6d.-73.—Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d.;

K One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and juSlice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone" dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

the work possesses advantages over every other other of the kind sub-
mitted to public notice. The author is a medical man of some con-
siderable talent, who has devoted many years to the study of his
profession, and as a guarantee of his pretensions has published his
qualifications and diplomas in the work, and several testimonials of
his abilities from physicians and surgeons of great eminence, which
is a most important consideration to those whn, from the peculiar
nature of their infirmities, are obliged to seek medical assistance
from strangers. The subject is treated altogether in an excellent
manner, and by its perusal the unfortunate victim of vicious habits
and excessive dissipation, will be enabled to account for peculiar
disabilities, and to discover the means of alleviating their sufferings
in an easy and effectual manner.—United Service Gazette.

INVERNESS SHEEP AND WOOL MARIOET. —We
e
have again to report a highly successful market for the
sale of sheep. Last year's prices were considered
extremely good, but there has been a still further ad-
vance of from five to ten per cent. this season; and ewes
and lambs have been in great demand. The fine
weather with which the country is now blessed; the
promise of an abundant harvest; and the favourable
appearance of the turnip crop, may be considered
the immediate cause of this rise. The value of sheep
stock has also been greatly enhanced by the quantity
of meat that will be required to
supply the loss
of pigs from Ireland and parts of Scotland, which used
to export largely, and also the deficiency in American
pork, owing to the exportation of Indian corn. The great
demand for labour, in consequence of railways, public
works, and agricultural improvements, must also continue

THE HERRING FISHERT.—There was good fishing
at the Sound of Portree, in Skye, last week, from six to
ten crans, per boat, of fine herrings. Captain Setwell,
commissioner for the island of Harris, is, at present, in
conjunction with Government, furnishing all the poor
fishermen in that island with cod and ling .oshing..
