DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT.
By the plan exclusively developed by the Society, a single
deferred annuity is made, not only to answer the same object,
but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.
1. A small yearly er weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d. : 3941. 11s. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 4661. at death.
2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,
prospectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at the office of the
Society, by letter or otherwise, 26, Cornhill, London, or at
any of its Branches throughout the country.

" The Countess of Clifford presents her compli-
ments to Mr. E. Solomons, and is much gratified in be-
ing able to say that his " Patent Spectacles," adapted to
her sight nearly six years ago, have continued uraioninished
in the perfect ease and pleasure she was so delighted to
have experienced from their use immediately he so skil-
fully applied them, enabling her to read or engage her
sight for the most minute employment, and for any length
of time, by day or candle-light, without the slightest fa-
tigue. This is the more remarkable and gratulatory to the
Countess's feelings considering the total failure in the
above respects, and consequent mortifying disappointments
attending the'various other spectacles she hitherto attempted
to wear; indeed, it is with the greatest pleasure the Coun-
tess testifies to Mr. E. Solumons' perfectly successful
treatment of her sight, and submits her own peculiar
case in confirmation of the strong and deserved recommen
dations his Spectacles have received, and of Mr. E. So-
lomons' high professional standing.—Counteas Constantia

The influence of the sun on the skin and com-
plexion at the present season is frequently subversive of
comfort to persons of delicate skin, by producing sun-
burns, freckles, tanned skin, and lips parched and swollen.
To oppose these innovations, the most infallible specific is
Rowland's Kalydor, a preparation from the most delightful
exotics, which not only by its use insures the skin from the
effects of summer's scorching heat, but never fails of re-
storing the skin to its pristine delicacy and whiteness. It
is invaluable as a renovating and refreshing wash during
travelling, or exposure to sun and dust ; and, from its ex-
traordinary efficacy in allaying all incidental inflammation,
deserves a place among
.the household treasures of every
family.
THE CORN AVERAGES —We stated on Satur-
day that the average price of corn was likely to continue
sufficiently high to keep the duty at 2s. Bd. per quarter for
at least a fortnight. We understand, however, that the re-
turns from the leading markets by which the advance was
principally sustained, and especially from London and
Wakefield, exhibit so great a falling-off, both in price and
quantity, that the duty is almost certain to rise to 6s. Bd.
on Thursday next. The fact, we suppose, is, that the
purpose of those who have been manoeuvring to raise the
averages is perfectly answered by the opportunity which
they have already secured, of liberating the stocks of corn
and flour in bond ; and their interest, like that of the.
farmers, now is, to raise the duty as soon as possible, in
order to prevent competition from subsequent imports of
foreign corn. As all are now pulling in the same direc-
tion, the fall in the next weekly average will he very great,
probably not less than is. or Ss. a quarter, whilst the
actual decline in the markets was not to half that extent.
Such are the fruits of our glorious system of Corn-laws !

MR. LONGWORTH'S RESIDENCE AMONG THE
Cracasstaxs.—This important work on Cireatsia, will be
doubtless generally considered the moat truthful that we
have yet had on the subject; the author's facilities for ob-
servation having been greater than any other traveller has
yet enjoyed. " Mr. Longworth." observes the New
Monthly, " being regarded by the Circassians as a diplo-
matic agent of the English Government, sent with a view
to aid and advise them in their unequal contest, was treated
en prince by the whole nation, and his sojourn in the
country made a sort of triumph, in which the national
character was displayed in all its lights, good as well as
ill, but all full of interest and curiosity as matters of ob-
servation. When we add that Mr. Longworth is every
way adapted to turn such a position to the most valuable
account, we need not say that the result is one of the most
interesting and valuable works of the kind tl-at we have
had for years. The numerous pletyres which his volumes
furnish of the social economy of this singular and primi-
tive people, can scarcely be surpassed for interest. The
volumee are, in filet, as entertaining as a novel ; and they
are evidently written with a 6:fict regard to that true de-
tail of facts, which makes them as instructive as an offi-
cial report."
