...„Tlua.Sonie tty, to"it tti- generatbii§iness o nsur-
, ance 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. Insuring their lives in sums from W. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Weex.y
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 101. to 100/., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 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.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, not sul7 to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entwe sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the' middle and industrious classes
by separate investnacn`,3 in Savlno-os' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.
1. A small yeP.rly er weekly contribution will secure the
most ample rr.durn for after life t• thus-2/. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) 2,, 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 47f. 165. 6d. : 39.11;11s. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 4661. at death.
2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposite. of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,
prospectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at the office of the
Society, by letter or otherwise, 26, Cornhill, London, or at
any of its Branches throughout the country.

by which thousands of (leaf persons have been greatly bene-
fited, is the size of a._::iven-shilling piece, and when fixed into
the cavity of the is soft and easy, and not more perceptible
than having it piece of wool in its place, by which the faintest
whisper at, a public assembly is 'heard with distinctness. And
defecti-,e VISION is brought to nature by the use of newly-
in•;ented SPECTACLE LENSES; immediately they are
placed before weak and imperfect eye-sight, either by day or
candle light, every object becomes clear and distinct, and the
most minute particle is seen with great distinctness ; by the use
of which both the sight and hearing become much improved.
The Messrs. S. and B. SOLOMONS disclaim all con-
nexion with persons of the same name, and the sale of am-
ber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles
being now well known to the public, and the vendor being
aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out
the word " Amber," and calling them " Patent Spectacles."
Those which he terms " Patent Spectacles" are no other than
those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate-
rial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is. f.:4 and most satis-
factorily explained by the undermention'A scientific authority:
From the " Dictionary of Arts a
Sciences" of Andrew Ure,
M.D., F.R.;s., &c.,
" Amber is an indurated 'regetable ,nice, and not produced
by the laws of crystallisation, Isut by the same causes which
influence the mechanical vonclition of gum. Insects are often
found embedded in it, Amber is most powerfully electrical
by friction—very WI, to such an extent as to explode into frag-
ments ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in
their wrists, arles, &c. ; they encounter great danger by handling
such dreadc..al excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is
apt to t.:;„ fire, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to
;co:nab, that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with
dame."

The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir
D. Brewster and Pliny, as also. by Parks and Hems, on Che-
mistry. The destructive effects of such a material for specta-
cles, to imperfect vision, may be ascertained at any respectable
Optician's in London.
The Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses are
not constructed of such a material ; but which are very supe-
rior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect
vision to its original and natural state. These Spectacles, and
very small Voice Conductors for deaf persons, are .nly to be
had at their establishments, 39, Albemarle-street (opposite the
York Hotel), and 76, King William-street, Bank.
