in the LIFE DEPARTMENT, Assurances may be effected at
,ow Rates without participation in the Profits ; or at moderate Rates
with participation in one moiety of the Profits every seven years. At
each of the three Septennial divisions which this Company has made,
the Bonuses amounted to about 1 per cent. per annum on the sum
assured, or about 27 per cent. on the amount of •premium received ;
and the whole amount of Reversionary Bonus allotted by, the Com-
pany exceeded 530,0001.
Loans granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under SQI.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
on the 2d of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1846, and the same
5 now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),
between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Read Office ; and
also by the Agents in the Country Districts.
Notice is hereby given, that Assurances which expire at Mid-
summer must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with
Mr. Sams, No. 1, St. Janaes's-street, corner of Pall-mall, or with
the Company's Agents throughout the Kingdom, otherwise they be-
come void.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to describe, within the
limits of an advertisement, the bare outline of what
THE MAN IN THE MOON

Contains for JULY. But, when it is stated that Mr. Crindle gets
into more scrapes than ever—that a trip in the Nassau Balloon is
profusely illustrated, and graphically described—that the Duke's
Statue on the anniversary of Waterloo; Jenny Lind and Grisi as the
rival Normas ; the Elections ; Buffo Lyrics ; the Summer Casinos ;
Lord Morpeth ; Lays of Mornings After ; Ascot as it was with Gentle-
men, and is with Gents ; Vauxhall Sketches ; Chat ; Domestic
Dramas ; Opera Excitements—and, in fact, every topic of the day
is alluded to—a month of the " Times" condensed into a small
lozenge—the price of SIXPENCE, at which it is published, is almost
too contemptible to be alluded to.

to the green mountains of Vermont ; the astonishing properties of
which were first discovered by the Aborigines, and the knowledge of
its preparation disclosed to the present proprietor, who, after wit-

ING INFLAMMATORY ACTION, and the extraordinary cures pro-
duced in Gout, Rheumatism, Scrofulous Affections, Ringworm, Piles,
Bronchitis, Inflammation of the'Eyes, Swelled Breasts, Sore Nipples,
Chilblains, Scalds, Burns, and old and inveterate Ulcers, determined
to introduce it as a public medicine.
Having received high testimonials from the Surgeons of the Army
and Navy, of the important cures effected by this Ointment, together
with the immense sale it has obtained in the United States, the Pro-
prietor has considered it a duty to extend its use to Great Britain,
and has appointed Messrs. 11. Preston and Son, wholesale Drug-

the Ointment is consigned. It is also sold by the respectable Che-

REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION.
A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy
the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls,
a gentleman residing at Northam, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842,
on returning from liarlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re-
sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill-
ness of several months' duration, during whieh period his hair con-
tinued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly
bald as if his head had been shaved;" and the JIM J. E. Daniel,
then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for
his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the
effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR. OIL, and it is highly gratifying
to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was
used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very
thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity,
that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl,
the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly
for itself to require observation.—Bell's Messenger.
