COUNTY FIRE OFFICE, REGENT-STREET.

A s the present unexampled rage for New In
surance Companies occasions the public attention to be
engaged by various attractive Promise", it may not be improper
to remind the Friends of the COUNTY FIRE OFFICE
what have been its Performances.

The County Fire Office has now been established upwards
of seventeen years, during which time Sixteen Hundred Sufferers
have been Indemnified, and only one claim has been brought
into a Court of Law—namely, that of the Thurtells.
By vigilant and prudent management, the County Office
grew rich during the years which were favourable for Insurance
business, and, in this advantage, persons who now insure par-
ticipate.
Returns to the amount of 42,0001. have been paid to all Per-
sons who have continued insured seven years, upon Annual as
well as upon Septennial Policies, and whether they have been
Claimants for losses, or otherwise—an important advantage,
which no other Insurance Office existing has aflbrded.
Since the establishment of the COUNTY FIRE OFFICE,
no less than eighteen New Insurance Offices have broken up,
besides many which have been carried on as losing concerns.
Several of these, which were announced under high patronage,
and with the most captivating promises, have expired in total
insolvency, and left the disappointed claimants in fruitless liti-
gation with their Trustees and Directors. It is Not difficult to
anticipate what must be the fate of the numerous new Offices
which are now proposed ; and now that their funds are not im-
provable, at half their former rate of interest, are outbidding
each other in extravagant promises upon reduced means.
Those who are aware of the CollftlSlol4 and misery which have
resulted from the numerous failures of Insurance Adventurers,
and the probability that such failures will soon recur more ex-
tensively than ever, will not hesitate to choose between realized
benefits and untried promises.

THE WONDERS of ELORA ; or, the Nar-
rative of a Journey to the Temples and Dwellings ex-
cavated out of a Mountain of Granite. and extending upwards
of a mile and a quarter, at Elora, in the East Indies. With
some general Observations on the People and Country.
By JOHN B. SEELY,
1 Captain in the Bombay Native Infantry. &c.
" It is not solely to the Temples of Elora that Captain
Seely confines himself. He gives an interesting description
of the Countries through which he travelled, and an Account
of the State of Society in India. His Observations also, on
the Anglo-Indian Policy, and his Remarks on the Attempted
Conversion of the Natives by the Missionaries, are entitled
to serious notice."—(Literary Chronicle.)
" The appearance of this IVork is important to all; but
the information it contains is invaluable to those whose pros-
pects or connexions belong to the Eastern World ; and we
hall indeed be surprised if it be not adopted, even as a book
of study among the numerous youths who are destined to fill
situations in our Eastern Dominions."—(Literary Review in
the Bath Gazette.)

FOR WORMS, FITS, PAINS IN THE STOMACH. &c.
WORMS are the Cause of many Internal
Afflictions, which vary so much in their effects that
they may be mistaken by the most eminent Physicians, and
prove equally fatal to the Constitations of Adults and Chil-
dren ; though the latter more extensively suffer from their
destructive ravages. Their more usual symptoms are Fits,
Pains in the Stomach, Side, and 1-lead, Loss of Appetite, and
Pale, Languid, and Emaciated Appearance in the Patient.—
The extraordinary efficacy of CHING'S PATENT WORM
LOZENGES in all such Complaints, as well as Obstructions
in the Bowels, and every Dieorder where opening or cleansing
Physic is required, is so universally known, and has been pub-
licly acknowledged by so many persons of distinction and
rank in society, that it is unnecessary here to enlarge on their
peculiar virtues.

PICINOUREII SI B,
I BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
year 1790, I had been afflicted with- the Lues Venereal,
Which, from its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
Prescribed brthe most eminent of the faculty here, and un-
dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation; and twice dis-
oharged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring of last year
ray disorder had got to such a bead, as r.early to put a period
to my existence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
on e on each arm, and my legs were broke oat in a frightful
Manner; my right was dreadfully painful, and had been in a
State of ulceration for the last seven years; my left had also
two large nodes on it, was very much discoloured, and gave
leie such excruciating pain, particularly when warm in bed,
as nearly to deprive me of. rest ; in this lamentable state, I
Was recommended by Mr. .L Thoinpsem (who received so
great a cure by
them here), to take emir I:eake's Patent Pills,
which I began to do on the With May; in the course of a
fortnight 1 began to receive benefit—in little more than a
month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly !leak/1
'oon after, the sores OH my legs healed also; leaving, how-
ever considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the
bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, and a little
longer eerseverance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided;
the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going off.-1 thus became, by
o r liberal advice and medicine, perfectly tree from all my
former complaints—have recovered my former spirits a nd
strength, and ant become jolly and fat, in which state havieg
oritinued many months, to the astonishment 01 all who knew
a.e., I sun at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but
beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make
this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa-
sion in so doing you wi li.greatly oblige,
Sir, your grateful, obedient, very h umbl e servant ,
