Thls Association has been forened principally with the view of af-
ording to gentlemen engaged in GOVERNMENT and PUitLIC
OFFICES, BANKING 1101JSES, and MERCANTILE ESTA-
nLISIIMENTS, a safe and advantageous mode of investing a portion
of their incomes, either by way of deposit, at 71. per Cent. compound
interest, or In the purchase of freehold or leasehold residences.
The operations of this Society will be regulated by Tables prepared
expressly for that purpose by two eminent actuaries.
The leading principles of this Society aro-
1. Perfect equality of benefit between all the Members, 'whether
borrowers or not.
2. Certainty in the amount of advance to which each Member
wishing to anticipate his Shares will be entitled at any given period
of the Society's existence, with the means of ascertaining precisely
at any date the amount payable to retiring Members, and the value
Of the Sharet of continuing Members.
Members may pay up the whole er any portion of their subscrip-
tt
ons for the ten years, in advance, and discount, after the rate of 4/.
Per Cent. per annum, will be allowed for the sums so paid.
Members wishing to withdraw their Subscriptions may do so after
the first year, without fine ; and subsequently to that period com-
Pound interest at the rite of Cl. per Ccnt. per annum will be allowed
upon the sums withdrawn.
Shares may be transferred free of stamp duties.
11Y the plan adopted in this Society new :Members entering at
any Period, and all Members taking up additional Shares, may have
°CIS advanced to them without. prying up arrears of Subscriptions ;
;Id the.precise amounts that will be advanced either to old or new
etribers, are set forth in the Tables, a copy oft h
will be sup-
plied to every Member. This is manifestly far preferable to the un-
equal and objectionable system usually adopted of putting the shares
nP to auction, and advancing the money to those who submit to the
largest discount; by which moans the object of the Legislature,
:welt contemplated that each Member should derive precisely the
—Te advantage, is entirely frustrated.
In be monthly subscription, both to the borrowing and non-borrow-
-g Members, is precisely the same, and continues the same to the
end
of the Society; borrowers are, therefore, relieved from the
felfrirnonthly " redemption fee," and the mutual principle is car-
eica Into full operation.
.."•C• Member has any responsibility beyond the payment of his own
stbeecriptions.

'4le Society, 1.5, Old Broad-street.

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced no ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of A/tTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colour or decay, and will be bound very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement maybe within
reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest
v,ale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful iu mastica-
tion.— 52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

ON LAND
the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a
fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire.
" We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon. to so-
clety."—Editors Liverpool Mail.
The New Portab!e Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on
ftro in arid near the city, they saved eleven ,olely and seven mainly,
including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the
eleven, Messrs. Horton's dyery, and 12,00/. worth of consigned pro-
perty; Stoke mustard, starch, wal flour mil's, and Messrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de-
struction and death.

" North Walsham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great

the property now destroyed might have been saved."—NorLlk Chro-
nicle, August 22, 1846.
At a Norwich tl,•e June 2, 1847, the two Portable. Engines were
tke pets eine public. The cry was, feet the little engines and they
will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present
proved useless.
Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo-
spheres.
Now the fist Is this, all former Force rumps, Lift-force Pumps,
Lift Pump=, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grill). and
scrape the water upwards by frietlan, which wa..tes two-fin Its of the
power used, and progressively fatter by leakage, which Drs. Young
and llntton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented
thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
excee. s half the rower consumed, atter overcoming friction and
leakaae ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world bad
tri,d in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects
in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and
woo tbr ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by
the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented front
twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with-
out more outlay.
Most. nieu can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but
some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric-
tion Penn, an acftve sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,000 lbs. of water one toot high In a minute, and with a Foun-
tain rump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most
extracrdinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
John Clenton Roberts, Esq., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did
well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water
um, ard) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Du!,lin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. liaddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ew bank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull
and Paddy in No. 1,18:3, and in No. 496, Book-maker Milling'on's
remarks are preosterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Aberdour, Ilay, Parkington, with many other discerning MGR,
after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
rolling principle, gave the invention the folios ing true and mustn't-t-
-able character:—The Fountain Puma is the most important improve-
ment In the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two
thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in
modern times.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of
climbing boys, who, notwithst,nding the penalties to which those
employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, car. 85,
aro continually resorted to. This breach of the law Is acquiesced In
by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utterim-
possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with
the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity fur its infringei,ent, the Inge-
nious and tifective Ramoneur machine hes been invented. This
invention consists of four brushes tnrrning a square head, which
by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
the small or ex.tended space in which the machine moves, thereby
treating an even pressure on all Icur sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head •r brush are supplied at intervals with

universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle
and the whole is surmounted with a dowble revolving ball, having
also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most
perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
by the fact, that it is axclusively used in the Government and
numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by it large
number of the nobility and gentry in emitinuing their annual con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses
may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the
offices of the solicitor, I', Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St
James's; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Birchin-lane ; at
W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechurch-strcet; and nt the
principal office, 1, Weliiugton•street, London-bridge, Borough, where
applications for shares may be addressed.

SUICIDE OF A DESCENDANT OP THE PENDRIL
FAllllLY.—Yesterday Mr. W. Payne held an inquest at
the Queen's [lead, St. Martin's-le-Grand, on the body
of Charles Pendril, aged 33, a journeyman shoemaker,
The deceased was by his ancestors connected with a
very important event in the English history. He was a
descendatot of the Pendrils who rendered such great
services to Charles the Second when pursued by his
enemies, and lying concealed in the oak. For this act
of loyalty the head of the family was rewarded with a
pension of 1001. a year, but from political circumstances
payment was in after years suspended by the Govern-
ment (some say refused by the family), and it was only
recently that the descendants, who are all in indigent
circumstances, endeavoured to obtain its renewal. The
deceased was the son of Mr. Pendril, known as having
given shelter in his house to young Watson, who was
concerned in the Cato-street conspiracy, secreted him
for several weeks while the public officers were in search
of him, and afterwards safely sending him to America
in the disguise of a tQuaker. The deceased resided at
No. 4, King's Head-court, and lately had been much
depressed in spirits from the want of sufficient work.
On Saturday night he suspended himself from a rail on
which the clock was hung, and was found next morning
lifeless. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary
insanity."
The new Coffee-room at the Carlton Club, Pall-
mall, by Mr. Sydney Smirke, which was opened to the
members last week, is a handsome apartment, ninety-
three feet long, thirty-seven feet wide, and twenty-one
feet three inches high, formed into three compartments
by Corinthian columns on pedestals (tour pairs), which
project into the room. The fire-place is in the middle
of the long side of the room, and the entrance door is
opposite to it. The dressings of the latter include
columns of French marble. There aro three windows at
each end, and a large octagon light over the centre com-
partment. The ceiling is formed with deeply recessed
panels highly enriched, with a handsome frieze beneath,
and is polychromatised by Mr. Sang, in a more artist-
like manner than anything he has before done. The
walls are lined with satin-wood to a certain height, and
above that are painted in panels of faint greens, The
columns are green scagliola with white capitals, gilt, and
black and gold pedestals. The effect of the whole is
very satisfactory. Some elegant candelabra by Whit-
field and Hughes deserve commendation.—Builder.

HITTINGTON spun.—THlN
SOIREE.

On Tuesday we spent a pleasant and intelligent
evening with our young friends of the above club, at
their third soirée, in the elegant and spacious ballot their
' new premises, formerly the Crown and Anchor Tavern,
for which they only pay 800/. of rent. Their presilents
, Douglas Jerrold, Esq , ably filled the chair and was
surrounded by many of the more distinguished and
talented members and patrons. Among others M.
Milnte, Esq., my.; Charles Lushington, Esq., M.P. ;
Dr. Bowring, M.P. ; George Thompson, Esq, M.P. ;
Cherie Knight, Esq. ; Robert Owen, Esq. ; George
Cruikshank, Esq. ; Cooper, Esq. ; and several ladies
and gentlemen whose names we did not learn. Al-
though the sale of tickets was restricted to members and
their friends, the hall was crowded. At least 800 were
present—a large portion of whom were ot the gentler
sex, whose beaming eyes and intelligent faces testified
how much they appreciated institutions of this nature.
The extensive suite of rooms were thrown open at seven,
and exhibit d a well-arranged and liberal display of
viands of various kinds. Mr. Jerrold congratulated the
club, with characteristic wit, that they w( r not now
lodgers, but leaseholders. They had beet, driven out
of their former premises by the irresistible dictum of
that unreasonable agent fire, for which the now histori-
cal cooking apparatus of that place had, no doubt, its
own reasons. He introduced Mr. Charles Knight, who
made some practical remarks on the necessity of central
combination and co operation to secure success in such
institutions, and referred for proof to those in the north
of England. Mr. Lushiegtoti, in a neat speech, con.
gratulatcd the meeting, and his country me n,
that tkat hall, the arena ot many a noisy political strife,
was now consecrated to the more sacred purpose of
' harmony and intellectual enjoyment. Mr. Thompson
apologised for haling appeared in his working clothes.
He and others owed what success they had to a similar
institution—that of Aldersgate. Mr. T. concluded some
judicious remarks on the capability of the human facule
ties to progress to an illimitable degree, and illustrated
the influence of knowledge by an anecdote of the dandy
in Holborn, who, when all attempts to induce the mastiff
to release the old lady's poodle from his unrelenting
jaws, coolly administered a pinch of snuff, and as the
animal snetzedand dropped his prey, sagely remarked to
the mob that "knowledge is power." Mr. George
Cruikshank, in a short speech more remarkable for a
blunt, honest, well. meaning zeal for the good of youth,
than for oratorical eloquence, reviewed shortly the
" authentic " and " poetical " history of Whittington.
They could not all be Lord Idayors; but this pretty
story offered good lessons of industry, perseverance, and
courage. Mr. Monckton 'Mines conceived that their
success was Mainly attributable to the broad and liberal
basis on which their club was constituted. It was nei-
ther religiously nor politically sectarian. Want of this
principle had been the death of others. Another chief
cause of success was the admission of the fairer and
more influential portion of creation to membership. Ho
recollected a " ladies' club," twenty or thirty years
ago, in Albemarle-street. Each lady could bring a gen-
tleman to dinner. One day a lady member was prevented
from attending. Her intended gallant, however, went alone,
when, to his consternation, he found his own wife in
the party. The' scandal incident to this accident was
too much for the club. It died in three weeks. Dr.
Bewring -concluded this part of the proceedings by
some reminiscences of his Oriental travels. The
amusements of the evening were agreeably di-
versified by the vocal talents of Misses Dolby and &-
bilis' Novello, and Mr. Alfred Novelle. Miss Novello
has a soft, silvery, soprano voice, which blended charm-
ingly with the more powerful and thrilling notes of
Miss Dolby in Spontini's duet, "Di conforti." Miss
Dolby sung delightfully that beautiful canzonet by
Monti, " 0, tell me, pretty river," and when rapturously
encored, gave with great spirit a Scotch song, half
hunting half Jacobite in its character. Mr. Carte per-
formed a solo on Bohm's silver flute, and the risible
faculties of all were well exercised by the comic genius
of John Parry, in his ludicrous account of the marine
excursion of the too daring " King Canute," and his
comical account of the good King Alfred and the old
woman's burnt cakes. About halt-past ten significant
Indications of preparation for the dance began to ap-
pear. Harp, fiddle, and flute were speedily released
from their cases and green great coats, and the hall was
soon cleared for the agreeable relaxation, which was kept
up till a late hour. Mr. Tapp, the secretary, deserves
much credit for his arrangements. It might be advisable,
however, to have an earlier hour to commence, and to
keep that hour. Bet the early-closing movement, wo
fear, has not yet been so successful as to render these
improvements practicable. —From a Correspondent.
