PITY, COUNTY FIRE-OFFICE and PRO-
VIDENT LIFE OFFICE, REGENT•STREET, were
the ORIGINAL OFFICES which effected Insurances upon
the principle of combining the Security of an adequate and
Permanent Capital (in addition to the fluctuating Funds aris•
ing from the Premiums), with the beneficial rule of return-
iug, at stated periods, the Surplus of the annual Premiums
to the Contributors, after paying Losses and Expellees. The
impot.tance of this Improvement is acknowledged by extra-
urdivary public approbation,and by the numerous imitations
LA it, which New Offices have lately offered, and which
older ones have adopted, in changing their Constitutions,—
The principle is of chief value, because, as it yields, by the
Specific Sums insured, and the Return of the Surplus, the
fullest Value for the Deposits, persons have no reasonable
motive for venturing on the lure of reduced and insufficient
Premiums proposed to them by Adventurers, and which has
led'to frequent instances of dissappointment and ruin.
CAPITALS, A MILLION STERLING and upwards.
lIEVENTY-EIGHT THOUSAND' PERSONS bare sought
protection in the COUNTY OFFICE, and have found it.
CLAIMS have been paid to Sixteen Hundred Claimants:
Exempt from the Expences of Law-suits, and also from the
sacrifice of an enormous Commission to 'Agents, to which
some New Offices submit, to induce them to canvas for !nisi.
tress, great accumulations have been made. In these, per-
sons who now
,Insure participate equally with the original
Members.

RETIIIINS of 25 and 90 per cent. in consequence, have
been invariably paid to all persons who have continued In-
*ured seven years, upon Annual as welt as upon Septennial
Policies, and whether they have been Claimants for losses or
otherwise. 42,000 have been returned in this way to about
e 4,000 persons Insured, within the last nine years—an im-
portant advantage which no ether Insurance Office existiug
has afforded.
BONUSES of 181: Bs. and 20. I2s. per Cent. have been
paid on Life Policies.
9,1 Xgents are appointed in all the principal Towns.

CHILBLAINS, RHEUMATISM, SPRAINS, Sc.c:
THE CAJ EPUT OPODELDOC.—Capput
Oil, which is the basis of this Opodeldoe, has been
long highly esteemed on the. Continent, as a remedy for
Chronic, Rheumatism, Spasmodic Affections, Chilblains, Pal.
ay, Stiffness, and Enlargement of the Joints, Sprains, Bruises,
and Deafness; and the experienee of late years. in England,
proves that it merits the high Character
given of it*by the
most eminent in the profession, in those obstinate complaints.
Being combined in the form of Opodelduc, it is rendered
more penetrating, and consequently much more efficacious
as an external application. Rubbed upon the skin by meant
of flannel, or the warm hand, it allays morbid irritation of
nerves, invigorates the absorbents, and aseelerales the eir•
culatiun.

TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
ONSIDERING the very extensive nature
of the Canvais for a Seat in the East India Direction,
and the shortness of period in which I have had an opportunity
of entering upon that Canvass, and of becoming acquainted
with the great and independent body of Proprietors of East
India Stock, I feel no less gratified than encouraged by the
result of the Ballot on the 23d inst.

I avail myself of this the earliest opportioity to return my
sincere Thanks to the numerous and kind Friends who came
forward in my favour on. that occasion ; and at the same time
gratefully to acknowledge the many flattering assurances I have
received of that additional support on the next Vacancy,
which previous engagements prevented my being honoured
with at the last.

Having already submitted to you the public grounds upon
which I presented myself before you as a Candidate for the
honourable situation of an East India Director, it onlyremains
for me now to renew my exertions to secure your confidence
and your support, and to repeat my pledge of going to the
Ballot on the first Vacancy.
I have the honour to be, with great respect,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient and humble servant,
ROBERT T. FARQUHAR.
Bruton-street, March 24, 1824.
