The advantages offered to the public by the above Offices
are such as result from a course of uninterrupted prosperity,
the fruits of a prudent and economical management for a pe-
riod of thirty-five years. _

At the present time so many establishments exist, Tieing
with each other in the profession of benefits to the public.
which numerous failures, and consequent ruin to thousands of
industrious families have proved to bn fallacious, that the Di-
rectors think they will best discharge their duty to the Proprie-
tors and to the Public by a simple statement of the advantages
which have been realised by these Offices.
The COUNTY FIRE OFFICE has not only settled all
claims with promptitude and liberality, but has, f, oat its first
establishment, made large Returns to the Insured.—These
amount at the present time to 12.5,000/.
The PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE has at each septen-
nial period divided the whole of the profits, subject to a deduc-
tion of about a twentieth part only, among the insured. The
benefits actually secured to lives insured in this Office, may Le
judged of by the following Table.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published:—
The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and
even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not
one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the
authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing
effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work in p-oof of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisfe us that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England.
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the
few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able.—Magnet.
The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood,"
has really astonished us by deieloplng a series of maladies, the
never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We
strongly recommend the work.—Age.
The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex-
tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been
induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent
friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita-
tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those
diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set
down by the every-day observer as the result of common
causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe-
rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre-
mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs.
Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pultrionsry
Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi-
cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi-
cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination
as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too
far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for
producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly
molel a book —Conservative Journal.
We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the
careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as
physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will he
most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in
need of them.—Statesman.
Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at
their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London.
Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible
in the detail of their cases.—As to the duration of the com-
plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occu-
pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac-
companied by the usual consultation fee of 1/. without which,
no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in
all eases the most inviolable secresv may be relied on.

Upon the annual investigation of the affairs of the Society,
on the termination of the sixth year, as required by the deed
of settlement, It is ascertained that the same rate of abate-
ment of Forty per Cent., as in the past year, may be made for
the year ending the 4th April, 1842, and such abatement will
be made accordingly. The data from which this abatement
is deduced, fully justify the expectation that, after the payment
of five annual premiums, an equal rate of abatement will be
made to every Member of the Society throughout the conti-
nuance of the assuranee.

The behaviour of some of Lord Stanley's friends
during the time Mr. Acland was speaking was, to say the least,
disgusting. After emptying themselves of their stock of im-
pertinent and insulting questions, they commenced making
dreadful sounds, certainly like unto none uttered by the human
family. In this disgraceful part of the proceedings, Mr.
Townely Parker, late member for Preston, took the lead,
seconded by souse persons who reside nearer Lancaster.—

NEWLY-INVENTED SPECTACLES.--
fi The arti-
cial aid afforded to the Sight by Lenses is one of the most valu-
able gifts derived from science, and it is indeed of vital importance
that theadoption of Spectacles to imperfect vision, should be regu-
lated on proper principles. Messrs. S. and 13. Solomons, 39, Al.
bemarle_strect, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King
William-street, Bank of England, having devoted their whole lives
to this branch of Science, and their long extensive practice have
enabled them to invent Spectacle Lenses upon a new construction,
which have gained universal approbation. Immediately they aro
placed before imperfect vision, either by day or candle-light, that
mist and chillness which appear before the eyes is at once removed,
every object becomes clear anti distinct, so that the most
aged imperfect sight becomes bright and brilliant, and is
brought to its youthful, natural, and original state. Their
Invisible Operative Voice Conductor for deaf persons is not
the !nit perceptible nor more uncomfortable than having a piece of
wool in its place; they give immediate relief to old standing ex.
teems cases of deafness. Those valuable inventions have also gained
the patronage of the Royal Family, and the unqualified approbation
of ovfoure hundred of the principal members of the medical
profession,
benefited numerousby their individualsuuse.

MURDER IN EASTCVEAP.
Ever since the issuing of the Coroner's warrant for the
apprehension of the murderer, Robert Blakesley, the
police have been unremitting in their search for him, and
ninny houses, known •to have been the occasional resort
of the assassin, have been visited, but without success.
On Friday morning information was received that two
bodies had been picked up off Greenwich, and Mr.

him, but a mild pay his master to-morrow. The man
would not leave the sheep without the money; and for a
day cr two they were turned into a neighbouring field.
The person he had engaged to assist in killing was Wil-
liam Reynolds, of the Crown Tap, to whom he owes
51. ss. fur labour and sundries. He had no cutlery or tools,
and felt himself sadly disappointed in Mr. Burdon nut
sending their. The premises belonged to Mr. Moon,
butcher, to whom the meat and lent money was owing.
He had an execution entered on the premises, by Cooke,
for the amount of the slaughter-house, 47/. At the time
of the sale Mr.Burdon was there, and they both, with the
auctioneer, Mr.. • Saunders, :took tea at Mr. Harman's.
He (Blakesley) expressed Wet:self Yi:ry much dissatisfied
with the conduct of Mr. Cook, saying he had not done
with him yet, and that he wanted. Flanging up in the
slaughter-house for an hour, or he should think it no sin
to stab him. .I have seen the letter this morning. Mr.
Inspector Brake sent to my brother high-constable, but
Blakeslee- has not been seen by any one who knows him,
and I do not think it at all likely he will come here, un-
less it is to have some revenge on Cooke."
The sheep and lambs were ordered from a farmer
named Cooke, living at Seale Chart, about a mile and
a half from Sevenoaks. Blakesley defrauded several
tradesmen in the town, and while at Sevenoaks endea-
voured to borrow 100/. of Mr. Lee, butcher, of Leaden-
hall-market, on a bill of exchange, and also a similar
sum of , Mr. Peat, the saddler, of Piccadilly. Just prior
to the murderer's marriage with the unfortunate sister-
in law of Mr. Burdon, he managed, in order to affect an
appearance that he was a man of respectability, to obtain
3001. from a stockbroker in the City, on a bill ofexchange
for three months, part of which sum he expended at the
time of hit marriage.
Mrs. Eliza Burden, the widtne of the murdered man,
states, in addition to the evidence given before the
Coroner, that her husband and Blakesley were on the
most friendly terms, until he was apprised of his con-
duct at Sevenoaks. Blakesley wrote to him for money
and cutlery for killing, &c., and it was his intention to
accede to the request, but happening to go down to
Sevenoaks, he discovered how things were, arid declined,
as he believed it would do no good. This much exas-
perated Blakesley, and Mr. Burdon advised them to
come to London, and offered to support Mrs. Blakesley
until he got into something. He told Blakesleyhe
should be glad to sec him at any time, but he could not
allow him to sleep in the house. Blakesley reluctantly
agreed, and her sister returned, and they were very
comfortable . until within three or four days before the
murder, when words took place-between them respecting
INirs..l3lakesley going to live with him. That was the
sole cause of their quarrel, and Blakeslee' became
so insolent that Mr. Burdon forbade him his
house. She is positive Blakesley was on the
outside of the door, before lie entered, some time,
watching that the place was clear, as she observed the
door open and shut several times before he came in. The
moment she caught a sight of Blakcsley's thee, on seeing
him enter the bar, she was convinced he intended some
mischief. His looks were fierce and determined, and he
appeared so wild. She states that the description of his
dress and person which has already gone forth is some-
what incorrect. She stated that at the time of the mur-
der he possessed no other clothes than those he wore,
excepting a buff waistcoat. They consisted of a dark
invisible green Newmarket coat, with black button's,
light. drab . trousers, with open buttons, and three
buttons at the bottom on each side, a black satin waist-
coat and orange sprigs, a light blue handkerchief, Wel-
lington boots, and silk hat. He has a quick gait in
walking, and generally keeps his eyes fixed towards tlie
ground. He has black hair and- whiskers, and all his
shirts and stockings are marked " Robert Blakesley," in
black ink.

Mr. D. W. Harvey, the city police commissioner, on
Friday waited upon—Sir, ..14y125. Graham, Secretary of
State for the Home Department, recommending that
reward of 1001. should be offered for the apprehension bf
the murderer, or for information that might lead to it ;
and a reward of 20/. to any waterman who might find
the body. .This proposition, it is believed, was at once
readily acceded to.
_

Mr.;. Sarah Blakesley, the wife of the murderer, is
doing- well. A favourable change took place on Thursday
night, and strong hopes are now entertained of her ulti-
mate recovery. On Friday Mr. Burdon's brother visited
her, and on asking "How she was ?" the poor creature,
who is still in a very weak state, exclaimed " Oh God, I
have been the cause of my brother's murder." After a
short time she became calm, and entered into an expla-
nation of the horrible scene of Tuesday night, which en-
tirely corresponded with that given by her sister. She
expressed a surprise that Blakesley should have made an
attempt on her life, as she was on the most affectionate
terms with him, and on their last parting on Sunday night
he appeared quite happy and cheerful. She said c.ey
never had the slightest quarrel, and she believed-thjahe
doated upon her. They, however, differed upon the
point of her leaving her brother's house, she wishing to
stay till he got into employment. She frequently makes
inquiry if he has been apprehended, and appears exceed-
ingly anxious, and at times excited. If her life be saved
it will be owing to the resistance presented to the knife
by her stays, which caused it to glance off and penetrate
the abdomen horizontally. The funeral of Mr. Bullion
will take place to-morrow (Monday).
The unhappy father of the murderer has been known
as a tradesman of great respectability in the city for
nearly forty years ; he was a Common Councilman, and
his brother is now a representative of one of the wards.
The family of Mr. Blakesley, sen., consisted of two sons
and two daughters ; one of the sons was drowned some
time ago, and the other has by his crimes now obtained
a melancholy notoriety. Since the 29th of last• April,
Blakesley, the murderer, has absented himself from his
paternal roof. He was brought up under his father's
eye. in his warehouse, and at the period stated Mr.
Blakesley, sen., gave him a suet of napney for the pur-
pose of paying for a suit of clothes, and since then he
has seen nothing of him. The murderer married with-
out the knowledge of his father, and immediately after-
wards he and his wife went to Sevenoaks, where he pro-
posed setting up as a butcher, but was unable to carry his
intentions out in consequence of his credit getting into
disrepute. In order to celebrate his marriage he
obliged to .have recourse to Mr. Vale, of Tokenhouse-
yard, an acquaintance of his father's, who then lent him
the sum of money he required. Since then the following
letter, in the handwriting of the murderer, was addressed
to Mr. Vale, and has been by that gentleman deposited
in the hands of the police :
___

"liradburne Cottage, Sevenoaks, Kent,
Aug. 9, 1841.
" Dear Sir—l shall feel greatly obliged if you will con-
fer a further favour upon me, and only for one month.
I assure you it will be the making of me. If yon will
oblige me, be assured you shall have it again in one
month from the present time. In fact, it will save me
from something very unpleasant. Pray let me have it
by return of post if •you can, or as much of it as you can
spare. In baste.—Ever your's truly,

Mr. Biakesley, sen., having from the first evinced great
readiness to assist the police. On the night of the tra-
gical event a constable went to No. 22, York-place, City-
road, and saw Mr. and Mrs. Blakesley and their two daugh-
ters. Having requested that the ladies might retire, he
communicated to Mr. Blakesley, sen., the commission of
the murder by his son, and desired-that lie might search
the premises, as it. was thought the offender might have
taken 'refuge there. Mr. Blakesley, who displayed great
nerve on learning the alarming intelligence, at once con-
sented to his house .being searched, and assisted the po-
lice in doing so. No traces, however, of .him could be

"R. BLAKESLEY.
" James Vale, Esq., Toltenhou3e-yard."
The request made in the above letter was not
granted, and within a few days Blakesley's goods
were seized, and be returned to London, and
for several days both himself and his wife found an
asylum at Mr. Burdon's, the King's Head. The mur-
dered man, seeing that Blakesley had no prospect of ob-
taining employment, intimated to him that he could not
remain at the King's Head, and Mrs. Blakesley then went
to No. 22, York-place, City-road, and requested the
murderer's father would allow him to come until he could
obtain a situation, adding, that she would be provided
for by her sister and brother-in-law in the meantime.
Mr. Blakesley, sen., however, refused to received his
son, or even his clothes, which the wife begged him to
do to prevent his pawning them. This was the only in-
terview that the father had with Mrs. Blakesley.
The following letter will show that Blakesley, after
leaving Sevenoaks, resided in Easteheap. The original
is in the murderer's own handwriting

found.
Considerable discussion has arisen amongst the inhabi-
tants of the ward, apd in the various places of public
resort in the City, on the subject of the easy escape of
the murderer, and very many persons attribute that cir-
cumstance to the negligence of the City Police ; in con-
sequence of this opinion, a lengthened conversation took
place between the Coroner, the Jury, and ?.f.r. D. W.
Harvey, the police commissioner, which was not reported
in the newspapers. If the following statement be true,
it is indeed surprising that Blakesley should have escaped
immediate detection. It was boldly asserted that tintr
police constables were on duty within a very short dis-
tance of the'King's Head on Tuesday night—v;z., two in
Gracechurch-street, who pass the end of Eastcheap, one
in King William-street, and the fourth (whose duty i
was to pass Mr. Burdon's every quarter of an hour) ',ll
Eastcheap, Pudding and Bodolph-lanes. The la'.ter
stated that he did not see Blakesley on Tuesday n;..g. ht,
and that ha was in Pudding-lane when the cry of murder'
was raised in the streets. The Jury expressed them-
gelves much dissatisfied at the long beats hich many of
the constables had to go over,. and to the want of a suf-
ficient number during the sittings of the Central Critni
nal Court, where several were always in attendance. it
appears that Mr. Harvey induced the City nuthoritie-,; n
short time ago, to augment the police by thirty, and that
he has since given it as his opinion there should be. still
further increase, but it has not yet been act'

The most interesting information, 'viz., that which
relates to the almost instantanevus death of Mr. Bur-
don, and to the magnanimity an 3 extraordinary presence
of mind of his sister-in-law, the wife of the murderer,
who was first stabbed, had not been laid before the
public. Mr. English, of No, 22, Gracechurch-street,
the ordinary medical attendant of the family, stated to
the reporter, that on Tuesday night, as he was about to
take temporary repose from his professional labours, a
party called to say that he was wanted at Mr. Burden's.
Thinking that it was not a matter of pressing import.
ance, he did not hurry himself, but in the course of a
f'4iv minutes seven or eight persons arrived, announcing
the dreadful occurrence. He hastened to the King's
Head, and saw Mr. Burden lying on his back inside the
bar, aid immedtately perceived that he was dead, and
beyond the power of human skilL Four or five medical
gentlemen were busily employed in examining the wound
or Mr. :Burden, and, what was most astonishing, no-
body's attention had been directed to the unfortunate
wife of the murderer, who seemed to be unconscious of
the severe injury inflicted upon herself, until Mr. English
discovered it. Her whole faculties seemed to be' ab
sorhe d in endeavours to provide for the safety of her
broths r-in-law. She assisted in untying his cravat, and
gave eiders as to the best way, in her opinion, that he
ought te be treated. Mr. English then discovered that
she. was s.tandin,g in a pool of blood that had flowed
from her person, and insntly directed that she should
be conveyed to her bed-room. In doing so, upon the
stairs she fainted, and the syncope prevented fortunately
for a thne any further hemorrhage. She was placed upon a
bed, and her clothes having been cut off; it was found
that she had an incised wound penetrating the peri-
toneum, but not into the abdomen, on the right side,
through the thin portion of the stays which covered the
hip, and opposite to the nether region of the liver.
Being perfectly insensible, restoratives were
aßcninis-
tered to reproduce pulsation, and, when they had taken
effect the wound was dressed. She continued after-
wards in a comparative stato of delirium, and Mr.
English rem toned watching her progress during the
whole of the night. At intervals she broke out into
incoherent ext:ressions, mentioning her brother-in-law's
name, and fre piently her husband's, supposing he was
by her bedside; It was not at all expected that she
would survive the injuries inflicted by the wound, but he
continued, on occount of the unusual circumstance.; of
the case, to watch her without intermission until yes-
terday evening, when, seeing that she had slept soundly
for about an hour, and symptoms of irritation mentally
and physically having- subsided, he examined the
wound, and judged froi n its appearapce that it was
going on favourably. A Ir. English is now of opinion,
though he never thought so before, that she will, under
careful treatment, ultimately recover. His opinion is
founded not only on the appearance of the wound, but.
from his knowledge of her excellent constitution. She
was of a clear, healthy, and florid complexiOne-sl-10415
inclined tOebeeity, but had never had any severe illnz.‘ss.
Mr. English states that she is now in the 25th year of
her age.
A post mortem examination was on Saturday made on
the body of Mr. Burden, for even amongst the medical
profession it was rather a phenomenon that the wound
should have caused almost instantaneous death. Dissec-
tion accounted for the hesitating opinion on the part of
the surgeons. It was found that the aorta was divided,
preventing, of course, the circulation of the blood
through the arteries and veins, and causing the flow of
blood not to pass through the orifice, but to fall into the
cavity of the abdomen, and thereby produced in conse-
quence sudden death. The knife having been pointed
upwards by a blow from the left hand, passed through
the aorta and interior portions of the body, until its
egress was stopped by striking against the vertebrae or
back bone. A rough wound, such as would be caused
by definitive resistance to a sharp-edged instrument, was
found on the back-bone of Mr. Burdon.

On Saturday afternoon the reporter ascertained from
Mr. Inspector Brake, who holds the Coroner's warrant
for the apprehension of Blakesley, that a hat had been
found in the river which was supposed to belong to the
murderer. It appears that at high tide on Saturday morn-
ing a Waterman named Weare found the hat ofF the
floating-bath near Blackfriar's-bridge. having heard
of the murder of Mr. Burdon he at onze took it to the
police station in Black Horse-court, Parringdon• street,
and delivered it into the hands of Mr. Inspector Lloyd.
The Inspector sent it forthwith to Mr. Harvey, the
Commissioner's-office, and . the fact of the finding was
conveyed to InspeCtor Brake. The latter Inspector
waited upon Mr. Blakesley, sen., in Bitnghall-street, and
he tried the hat on and expressed his belief that it be-
longed to his son. In the hat is the name of Christie, the
maker, of Gracechurch-street, and the date when it was
purchased, Ist May, 1841. Mr. Christie states that he sold
above 100 hats on that day, and six of the same size as
the one discovered were purchased, and two of the cns-
turner's names were not entered in his books. The hat
is a beaver one, and Mr. Blakesley, sen., told Inspector
Brake that the murderer had a positive aversion to silk
hats. The inspector next went to the King's Head,
Eastcheap, and showed the hat to Mr. Burdon's widow
and her mother, who, as well as the servant and pot-boy,
declared their belief to be that the hat is that worn by
Blakesley on Tuesday night. The bat is in the posses-
sion of Mr. Brake, of the lower-street station, and has
a quantity of sand and mud in it. A number of water-
men. under the direction of Inspector Lloyd, were last
evening very actively engaged in dragging the river for
the body of Blakesley. The house of the deceased re-
mains closed.

At four o'clock yesterday the remains of Mr. Burdon,
the murdered man, were deposited in the churchyard of
St. Mary-at-Hill. The funeral procession (a walking
one) consisted of about ten couples, and amongst the
mourners were Mrs. Burdon, the widow, her mother,
the deceased's brother and child, a little boy, and other
relatives. A great crowd of persons followed the fune-
ral, but the police in attendance closed the gates of the
churchyard against the public.
The Hue and Cry of Saturday did not contain the offer
of any reward for Blakesley's apprehension, but yester-
day afternoon the following bills were generally circu-
lated throughout the metropolis and suburbs.
1001, REwAnn.-7MunnEn.----Whereas, on the night
of Tuesday, the 21st September instant, James Burdon,
landlord of the King's Head public-house, in Eastcheap,

so as to cause his instant death, and whereas a man
named Robert Blakesley stands charged with the said
murder, who is of the following description :—About

about thirty years of age, rather stout, dark hair, large
dark whiskers, dark eyes, dark complexion, prominent
nose, somewhat turned up, speaks quickly ; dress-7an

ment the above-named Robert Blakesley, the Lords Com-
missioners of her Majesty's Treasury hereby offer 1001.

or cause to be apprehended, the above Robert Blakesley,
or give such information as may lead to his apprehension
and conviction, by application to Inspector Hodgson, at
the chief Police-office, Basinghall-street, or to Inspector
Brake, at the Station-house, Tower-street, in the city
of London."
In the opinion of the medical attendant of Mrs. Blakes-
ley, she continues to improve.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
Upon inquiry at the station-house in Tower-street on
Saturday afternoon, it was ascertained that the police
had not received any intelligence respecting the retreat
of Blakesley, and hence the belief gains ground that he has
committed self-destruction by drowning. His respect-
able parents are in a state of deep afdiction, and the
heartless statement that has been circulated, that the
friends of Biakesley had reported that he had committed
suicide in order to facilitate his escape from jusCo6, has

It was but lately that we had to announce the
melancholy eeath of the Hon. Lieut.-Colonel Molyneux, of
the Bih Hussars. A mcst painful surgical opera ion had been
performed on him ; but the disease had passcdhunian skit, and
he heard w:th resignation that there was no hope of recovery.
With the certainty of imminent death before him, this excel-
lent man (lid not forget his regiment, for it is said that he wrote
to the Hone Guards stating that, as he had never before asked
a favour, and as this would be his &stand his last request, he
did entreat that the vacancies caused by his death should be
tilled up from among his brother officers, his friends Tha,.
dying request was acceded to, and Major James M'Call is now
the Lieut.-Colonel. Perhaps this was the richest legacy which
their late beloved commander could have bequeathed to the
regiment, for in Lieut.-Colonel M'Call they will find an officer
who proves in his own person that the firmness and discipline of
the soldier are not inconsistent with the courtesies of a gentle-
a scbsdar.—. man and accomplishments of Sunday paper.
