ARCLIITECTS, ENGINEERS, and BUILD-
ERS' INSURANCE COMPANY,
69, Lombard-street, London.
CB/4.IEIIAX —SYDNEY SMIRKE, Esq., A.R.A.
DEPUTY CHAIRMAN —.ANTHONY SALVIN, Esq.
The object of this Company is to identify the extensive building
interests, and all the professions and trades connected with the fine
arts, with fire and life insurance. Some idea of teir ptseculiar adap-
tation for that purpose may be seen in the followingh fac, viz. :—That
the number of houss annually erected in the kingdom is abou
F. 0,000, that the value of insurable property is upwards of two thou-
sand millions. That the amount actually insured is only about one-
third.
That the number of persons directly and indirectly connected with
tke building trades is upwards of 800,000, that the members of the
legal, medical, and clerical professions united do not exceed 200,000
and yet they have established at least twelve insurance offices, all of
which are in successful operation.
So great has been the confidence in the prospects of the Company,
that without the aid of a single advertisement in the public papers,
and that, too, at a period of unparalleled commercial difficulty, viz.:
—the close of the year 1847, 12,500 shares, representing 250,000/., or
one-fourth of the intended capital of one million were subscribed and
paid for.
A second series is now being issued, a considerable part of which
have already been taken. In the allotment of the remainder, pre-
ference will be given to the building interests, and to other parties
likely to benefit the institution.
Forms of applications for shares, prospectuses containing the rates
for Fire and Lye Insurance, and every particular, may be had at the
Offices, 69, Lombard-street, London. Agents wanted for most of the
large towns in England. Applications, with references, to be act
dressed to the Manager.

BEAUTIFUL TEETH.
ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL
DENTIFRICE.
A WHITE POWDER compounded of the choicest and most re-
cherché ingredients of the Oriental herbal. It extirpates all tartar-
ous adhesions to the teeth, and ensures a pearl-like whiteness to
the enamelled surface. Its anti-septic and anti-scorbutic properties
exercise a highly beneficial and salutary influence: they arrest the
further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of
the Gums, and by confirming their adhesion to the Teeth, perpetuate
effective and complete mastication ; the breath also, from the salu-
brious and disinfecting qualities of the Odonto, attains a grateful
sweetness and fragrance.
The Proprietors of this Dentifrice pledge themselves that its effi-
cacy in preserving and embellishing the TEETH, far surpasses any-
thing of the kind ever yet offered to the public, and has, in conse-
quence, obtained its selection by her Majesty the Queen, the Court,
and Royal Family of Great Britain,"and the Sovereigns and Nobility
throughout Europe.—Price 2s. 9d. per box.
CAUTION.—To protect the public from fraud, the Hon. Commis-
sioners have directed the Proprietors' name and address thus,
" A. ROWLAND and SON. 20, Hatton-garden," to be engraved on
the Government stamp, which is affixed on each box.
ROW LAND'S ALSANA EXTRACT,
For relieving the Toothache, Gum Boils, and Swelled Face, and

supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
',sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
eoinproshig hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
ana broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
:lement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
hi the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or

year furnished a rich treat to the lovers of that manly
sport, and was of a character far eclipsing that exhi-
bited on any former occasion. Many of the competitors
for the several prizes were excellently matched ; and
their evolutions were witnessed with the most intense
interest and anxiety by the beholders, as the issue of
each contest, as it were, trembled in the balance, and
long and loud were the plaudits accorded to the victorious
athN'es. The first contest was between men of nine
stone, or light weights, for a silver snuff box ; eighteen I
persons contended for this prize, which was carried off
by William Walker, a Cumberland man. Next followed
one between men of eleven stone, or middle weights,
for a gold watch ; forty-two men contended, and
James Whitefield (a Cumberland man) came off the
winner, after a severe struggle with Halliwell (of
Westmoreland). Halliwell and the two next best men
each received a silver snuff-box. The final contest was
for a silver tankard, value twenty guineas, for which
sixty men of all weights competed. The real battle, in
this instance, lay between J. Banks (of Cumberland) and
J. Robinson (of Westmoreland); the former belonging
to her Majesty's Horse Guards, and the latter to the
Foot Guards. The tankard was won, after a warm and
doubtful struggle, by Banks; the three next best men
receiving a silver snuff box a piece. There was also a
leaping match for a silver snuff box. The prizes e ere
five; and there were four competitors. Peter Sherrill
was declared to be the victor, having accomplished
seventeen yards one foot. After the termination of the
sports, a considerable portion of the company adjourned
to another part of the premises, where a grand banquet
took place, and the various prizes were duly awarded.
The whole of the proceedings passed off most pleasantly,

Holloway's Ointment and, pills, after more than Seven
Years' suffering.—Mrs. Elizabeth Humphreys, of York-
street, Hull, had been most painfully afflicted for up-
wards of seven years with ulcerated sores in both legs
her sufferings at times were dreadful. She had tried
almost every remedy, and received the advice of several
of the first surgeons in Yorkshire, yet all failed to effect
a cure until she used Holloway's invaluable ointment
and pills, the astonishing powers of which soundly
healed every wound. She is now in the enjoyment of
the best of health, and enabled to walk about the house

A REVOLUTIONARY MATRON GONE.—Died in New
Prospect, Bengen county, on the 24th March, Mrs.
Charity Berry, at the extraordinary age of " ono hun-
dred and ten years!" She was married during the Re-
volutionary War, and was the mother of thirteen chil-
dren, all of whom still survive! Her husband was cap-
tain of a militia company in active service, and who
aided in driving the British troops from Hoppertown.
Generals Washington and Lafayette together dined
with her one day, under the shade of a stately elm tree,
near her door—a circumstance she was fend of relating.
Her eyesight never failed in the least until her death,
and she was able to go about until about five years back,
since which she had lain in bed the greater part of the
time, although entirely free from disease. She was re-
markable for one thing—which may account in.a great
measure for her prolonged life—ahe was noted for her
opposition to tight lacing.

TERBURY.--it is now definitively fixed that this cere-

afternoon. It is understood that his Grace will con-

secrete the chapel at St. Augustine's College on the
29th, and preach a sermon at the Cathedral on the 30th.

ON SOCIETY AT VIENNA.—The rich and the noble
seldom inhabit the suburbs of Vienna • and notwith-
standing that the city possesses, in other respects, all
the advantages of a great capital, the good company
is there brought together as closely as in a small
town. These easy communications in the midst of all
the enjoyments of fortune and luxury, render their
hibitual life very convenient, and the frame of society,
that is to say, its habits, usages, and manners, are ex-
tremely agreeable. There is simplicity, politeness, and,
above all, honesty in the good company of Vienna.
People are as punctual in their dinner and supper en-
gagements as they would be in the discharge of more
essential promises ; and those false airs which make
elegance consist in a contempt of the forms of politeness
have never been introduced among them. Nevertheless, one
of the principal disadvantages of the society of Vienna is
that the nobles and men of letters do not mix togbeutht ears.
The pride of the nobles is not the cause of this;
they do not reckon many distinguished writerstV his ownienna,
and people read but little, a
everybody lives in
particular coterie.
