This Society is established for the purpose of transacting ex-
clusively an important branch of business, which has not. yet
been taken up by any other institution.
The objects of this Society are to enable parties, at all ages,
and in all circumstances, to invest, accumulate, and t ealize,
during life, their annual savings ;—to afford to all, and espe-
cially to persons whose incomes are derived from professional
or commercial employments, to Clergymen, Annuitants, Offi-
cers in the Army or Navy, Heirs of Entail, Landed Proprietors,
and others, the means of making provision for those occasions
where funds are required, which cannot be supplied or spared
from their income ; and to give an opportunity of providing,
en terms otherwise unattainable, a fund to be at command at
an after period of life, either for their own use and advan-
tage, or for the benefit of children and others in whom they are
interested.
Full details of the Society's principles and plan will be found
in the Prospectus, which may be had at the Office of the Co n-
pany, 57. Moorgate-street ; or from Messrs. B. and M. Boyd,
4, New Bank-buildings, Lothbury.

THE OLD SHEFFIELD SOAP WORKS,
Established in the Year 1792,
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
BY T. N. BARDWELL AND SONS,
At their Auction Mart, High-street, Sheffield, on TUESDAY,
the 25th day of FEBRUARY, at Three o'Clock in the After-
noon, subject to Conditions of Sale.
These WORKS have an old and respectable connection,
both among the regular Trade and with the Cloth Manufac-
turers, all within a moderate distance, and which, in conse-
quence of tho Railway Lines now opening, might, with great
facility, be extended. They are advantageously placed for pro-
curing supplies of the raw materials, the fre ghts from London,
Hull, and Newcastle being very moderate. They have been
within the last two years, at considerable expense, enlarged and
altered, with a view to their more perfect convenience and ar-
rangement as a Manufactory, and they are in a state of the beat
repair and first working order.
They have now Copper-room to turn out 30 Tons of Soap a
week; they contain two Yards, with a large Shed in the fur-
ther one, and a small plot of uninclosed Ground beyond it ;
have warehouses, an Ashwork, Mill, Evaporating Pans, and
an abundant supply of Water. There is a ready Sale for all
the Soap Ashes made on the premises, at 10s. per cart load, of
a certain measure, weighing about 27 cwt., being an advantage
possessed by but very few houses in the trade.
The Ground Plot contains 2,511 square yards, presenting a
Frontage of 95 yards to the Road. The Works are close ad-
joining the Canal ; its Basin and Wharf, and an extensive
Colliery, is immediately contiguous, and la'rge 31anufactories
aroundthem.
These works are h&d of the Duke of Norfolk, on lease (53
years of which will remain unexpired next Lady-day), at the
very trifling annual rent of six guineas, all the land in the
neighbourhood being now exceedingly enhanced in value since
this plot and buildings were taken ; the Canal, New Markets,
and rising Manufactories having subsequently rendered this
part of the town, which was perhaps the least valuable of any,
its principal mart.
As the occupant now wishes to retire, in consequence of
other avocations demanding his time and attention, the pur-
chaser, if desired, could be accommodated by leaving two-thirds
of the amount of sale on the premises, at five per cent.
Possession can be given immediately on the completion of the
purchase.
For further information apply to the Auctioneers; Mr. B. J.
Wake, solicitor, Sheffield ; or to Mr. J. G. Shuttleworth, on
the premises.

ROYAL PATENT STOVE DEPOT,
No. 58, King William-street, London Bridge.
PATENT PORTABLE STOVES, in full action in fire
minutes. For conservatories, hot and green houses, harness-
rooms, coach-houses, pantries, store-rooms, shops, and all
places requiring warmth, or where damp is to be removed or •
prevented; also adapted for carriages, gigs, coach-boxes, &c.
&c., to burn from six to twenty-four hours, without any care
or trouble whatever. Also sizes particularly suitable for wine
cellars, warehouses, halls, passages, and all other places where
economy and regularity of heat is required, burning from
twelve to twenty-four hours without attendance. Cost of coke
for that period from 2d. to 3d. only.
The PATF.NT TUBULAR STOVE for warmlog churches,
chapels, public buildings, banks, insurance offices, club houses,
halls, lobbies, shops, &e., decidedly the best and most perfect
stove ever invented, as well as the most convenient. At
the cost of one farthing an hour for fuel (for a stove sufficiently
large to warm a church, capable of holding 2,000 people,)
the fire (which is self-feeding) may be kept up without cessa-
tion for any period, requiring attention only once in twenty-
four hours. The quantity of pure warm air, at a wild summer
temperature, which, from the extent of radiating surfaces,
is equal to that supplied by three stoves of the ordinary con-
struction, is diffused so regularly throughout the building, as
to obviate the necessity of burning or over-heating the air. and
rendering it noxious and unhealthy. The heat may be regu-
lated at pleaiure ; no sparks can escape, so that accidents by
fire are almost impossible. The chimney requires no sweep-
ing; and the elegance and beauty of designs are such, as to
please the most fastidious taste.
The Stoves may be seen in constant operation, and pro-
spectuses and drawings as above.

Arro ETROPOLITAN LIFE ASSURANCE
-Lai SOCIETY FOR Mt I'UAL ASsURANCE.
This Society APPROPItIATES the WHOLE of thePRQ.
FITS to the reduction of the Premiums of its Members, and
this is UNDIMINISHED by AGENCY or COMMISSION,
the business of this Society being conducted without incurring
that expense. The effect of the principle of Mutual Assur-
ance, so carried out, is shown by the abatement of FORTY
per'C'ent. declared for the ensuing year, upon the Premiums of
Members of Five Years' standing, and which abatement has
teen computed on data justifying the expectation of the conti-
nuance of an equal rate of abatement, at least, throughout tha
remaining term of life.
This abatement of Forty per cent., the
.amount being laid
out in a new Assurance. is equivalent to a bonus of one-third
of the amount of the existing Policy.

Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Coinpanies, has been form-d for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wealthy, v;-
Ist. Insurihg their lives in s' ms from 51. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a p °vision 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 effect, d
against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's 'fools, &c., to the value of 201. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duly

included
The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
hencgorth 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 en appl;cation at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.

to this Office Assurers for the whole term of life have the
option, as most accords with their views and circumstances,
either of securing a certain sum at death at a low rate of Pre-
mium ; or of participating in 34 of the nett profits of the Corn-
pany on paying an increased rate of Premium.
The following are the annual Premiums for the assurance of
1001. on a healthy life in either case:—

Urethral AtTeeti ens in ten days or leis.
The deservedly high character borne by this admirable medicine
is due to the certain and gentle mode in which it reduces the local
inflammation whence these disorders spring without either nausea
or inconvenience. The most malignant and obstinate cases yield
speedily to its benign influence; whilst the developement of any of
the more alarming symptoms is prevented by an early recourse to it.
