This Society APPROPRIATES the WHOLE of the PRO-
FITS t o the reduction of the Premiums of its Members, and
this is 1 JNDINIINISHED by AGENCY or COMMISSION,
the bui iness of this Society being conducted without incurring
that es dense. The effect of the principle of Mutual Assur-
ance, a, ) carried out, is shown by the abatement of FORTY
per I nt. declared for the ensuing year, upon the Premiums of
111 err .t.ers of Five Years' standing, and which abatement has
been computed on data justifying the expectation of the conti-
nuer ee of an equal rate of abatement, at least, throughout the
rem Lining term of life.
'I his abatement of Forty per cent., the amount being laid
out in a new Assurance, is equivalent to a bonus of one-third
of I he Amount of the existing Policy.

THE VOICE CONDUCTORS invented by
Mr. E. SOLOMONS are the rnlst powerful Instru»
ments for the relief of deafness. From their minute construction,
and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear them entirely
unseen, and they may be inserted and removed with the greatest fa-
cility. By their use the lowest whisper breathed at a pubic assembly
vibrates on the organs of hearing in such a pleasant manner as to af-
ford the greatest relief to those labouring under the distress ng ail-
ment of Deafness.

Mr. E. SOLOMONS' PATENT SPECTACLES possess the ad-
vantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted through
the various humours of the eye, so as to render vision most perfectly
disc inet by day, or lamps or
.candles at night, conveying also a sense
of coolness and pleasure to the organ, with the additional recom-
mendation of being free from the pernicious a' tributes of common
glasses. Their superlative excellent, is attested by the following

The public are respectfully cautioned against some unprinciple,l
empiric: who have assumed Mr. E S.'s name and profession, and are,
from Irks immediate neighbourhood, and, with the mast unblushing
effrontery, issuing from the daily press puffs about "Newly.in.
vented Spectacle Lenses," and Herring Instruments, which are
fraudulently set forth as possessing the most wonderful powers. The
Glasses are highlyde:rimental to the sight. The names ofsome obscure
apothecaries and others are used in this absurd quackery, to deceive
the public into a belief that these pernicious glasses possess some very
supernatural powers. These common Lenses may be purchased for
co, e shillihg the pair, and for which the most exorbitant charges
are exacted by the parties, against whom the public are now respect-
fully cautioned. Mr. E. S. has received for his invention " Royal

TO THE PRINCIPALS OF SCHOOLS, ORNA-
MENTAL PENMEN, WRITING-MASTERS, WRIT-
ING-ENGRAVERS, AND LITHOGRAPHERS.
PATON'S FLOWERSof PENMANSHIP,
(consisting of fourteen pages folio) exhibiting the
principal Beauties of Penmanship, with a Miniature Portrait
of the Author (in the centre of the Title-page), exquisitely
engraved by Thomson, are nearly completed, and will be pub-
lished by Subscription.
In announcing this Work, the Author thinks it proper to
state that, for several years past, he has been solicited by many
eminent Penmen and Engravers-1n this Country, as well as on
the Continent, to publish -a New Work on Ornamental Pen-
rnanship: he has therefore complied with their wishes, in the
hope that the improvement, and more general practice of the
Art may thereby be promoted.
Something might be said in reference to the merits of a
forthcoming work ; but from the simple fact of Mr. Paton's
name, in connexion with the Art of Penmanship, having been
before the Public for a very long period, he considers any
farther statement unnecessary, than that he has bestowed his
best ability upon it-that he has carefully studied the compo-
sition of every page—that the whole of the Designs have been
finished in a manner equal, if not superior, to the important
Ornamental Writings, executed by him, during the last twenty
years. for the City of London, and the Royal Academy—and
that nearly all fhe Plates have been engraved by Mr. Beckett
in a way that must render that Artist's name famous in the
annals of Engraving.
When the Author, in 1826, published a Tribute to the
Memory of the lamented Princess Charlotte, one thousand
copies were subscribed for within the short space of six
weeks—a circumstance unparalleled in the history of Penman-
ship ; the List of Subscribers (obtain:d by no other influence
than a mere inspection of the original Manuscript), exhibited
the names of the King, almost all the members of the Royal
Family, Prince Leopold, all the Ambassadors then in London,
the Lord Mayor, and the most distingu:shed Members of the
Honourable Corporation of London ; Sir Thomas Lawrence,
who subscribed twice; many Members of the Royal Academy,
and other eminent Artists in Painting, Sculpture, En-
graving, &c.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]
TO MR.. JAMES TRIMBEY,
39, QUEEN-STREET, LONDON.

Sir,—l.have observed with much surprise, an advertisement
in the London papers with your signature attached, in which
the public are informed of my having quitted your service, and
arc at the same time cautioned against paying any moneys to
me on your account. As I cannot but. feel that such an adver-
tisementcalculated to injure me in public estimation as a
Commercial Commission Traveller, by inducing the belief that
I had improperly sought to receive your moneys, I am bound in
justice to my character and to the claims of a wife and nu-
merous family publicly to vindicate myself against such a sup-
.
posit ton.
Having for some years travelled for you by commission, and
having in the course of that period established a first-rate
connexion, it grieved me much that the limited extent to
whi„li the orders of my numerous customers were executed
became so unsatisfactory as to compel me in September
last to give intimation of my intention to tender my resigna-
tion at the termination of my next journey,nevertheless subject/
as per written agreement, to the three months from the specific
period of its being tender ed, unless the terms of my engagement
could be altered from a commission of per cent. on the pay-
ments to that of 5 per cent. on all orders taken, and then a 2i
on the payments, by which means I hoped to secure the
due execution of my orders, and at the same time advance
your interest as well as my own. I certainly did not in-
notice to expire at the time you construed it. On
the 9th of October I paid the balance of my journey account
atennddlemfty i 3
town that day for my then next journey, and from this
date to the 13th of January, I made no arrange nents for future
engagement, nor did I in one instance hint to any customer
any expectation of leaving, as I concluded the difference might
be settled agreeably to both parties when I got home. -
• On the 25th of December I got back to London, and on the
26th called upon you in my usual way, gave in my ledger, and
inquired also if my patterns had arrived, but finding they had
nut, I did not regret this circumstance much as I wanted a little
rest, having been out, from the Ist of July to the :bill of De-
cember, with only an interval of ten days. On the 28th of De-
cember I was at Queen-street., and gave you a letter order, which
you executed. On the 3d ofJanuary 1 went . ith a written order
from you to look out some goods, and upon inquiry found
my journey ledger was made up, and on the following day I
ncaol lred in

my patterns did arrive, which was on the Bth of January, I
said to you that I should be ready to go off on the following
Monday, when I found you had determined not to alter the
terms, and that you considered the notice had terminated. I
was then compelled to look out, which I did, and in a few days
Isa,tedn my in

and im-
mediately started
were anxious to continue to do business with me
t receivedcWmithout regard to the principal, whom they had never seen, and
of whom, except through me, they knew nothing, announcing
through the different towns.l passed on to that I did not now
represent you, nor did I use any under means to induce themto
give their orders to me. I could not help telling them how it
happened, as I had been to many of the same places only the
preceding month on other business, anti had teld them then I
should see them at the regular time for you.
In consequence of a letter which 1 received from you at
Wakefield on the 27th of January, presupposing I had preju-
diced the mind of a customer at Peterborough against you, I
immediately wrote„ you that it was incorrect, for I had not so
much as seen the gentleman. I further said I lamented that
the long connection between us should be severed, and that
upon so minor a matter ; that I believed it was much to your
interest to resume that connection, having turned you over last
year, amidst the distraction of the times, nearly as many thou-
sands as you had hundreds out, on the ground I now take, when
I first took your business in hand ; and to testify my feeling for
your continued prosperity, I stated I was ready on my part to
bury all in oblivion, and if it met your approbation by sending
down my patterns, accounts, and ledger to Huddersfield, I
would instantly relinquish the engagement I had entered into,
and commence again without further delay on your account, on
the terms I had before proposed, and for my word's sake I would
not alter. Knowing as I did that the connection was mine, it
did strike me to be an offer worthy your notice. I found also
that no one was on the ground before me representing you,
nor had any advice letters been received. With the impres-
sion on my mind 'that the offer would be accepted by you, I
passed on to Pontef'act, then toDewsbury, the last town before
I reached Huddersfield, where your answer was to meet me.
A customer there said he wanted no goods, and, as he was
going on ajourney, it would be better for me to draw upon
him as usual, at two months, dated the Ist of February which
acceptance was drawn 2.31. l Is. Od.; in your name, and, as a
natural inference, no use whatever to me. This I did, but
with no other object in view than for you to realize a payment,
struck also by the thought that yore representative might have
bean taken ill, and all s!ending a ll in the country, as I found
(but he had been started several days before I ac-
tually not b
itnelYv you)
.Iwas going to leave. Another person in the same
