[ADVERTISEMENT.] —DROPSY.—ANOTHER VERY
SEVERE CASE CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.-Mr...
Martha James, of Newport, between forty and fifty
years of ago, was in a mo,t awful dropsical state, the
lower extremities bemg dreadfully swollen, arising in a
great measure from inattention to herself at this par-
ticular period of life, when, almost too late, she applied
to different medical men, and also became an inmate of
two hospitals, but at the several places whore she
sought relief she was pronounced incurable; fortunately,
on her return home, she was persuaded to try Holloway's
Pills, and by their use, with strict attention to diet, in a
few weeks she was restored to perfect health. Sul ,1 by
all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
OF THE CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GEMEAL

LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.
Presented at the Annual General Meeting, held at the
....

Society's Other, on Thursday, March 2d, 184 .8.
Havieg, at the meeting held in January, 184 7, pre'
sented to the proprietors and assured a very full r kccount
of the society's affairs, your directors have but bade to
communicate on the present occasion.

It may, however, be satisfactory to those now easels-
bled to learn, that, notwithstanding the increased slid
active competition arising from the yearly establish meat
of many new liCe assurance offices, the business txf this
society still continues to advance.
In proof of this, it will be sufficient to state tb.e
lowing facts:—
I. The number of policies granted on the lives of
clergymen, a class of persons generally diatinguis bed for
longevity, has been greater during the year endin `June
30th last (the period comprehended in this report) than
in any one year since the commencement of this society
11. The society's income, which was 116,3821. in the
year ending June 30th, 1846, amounted to 122,9081. in
the year ending June 30th, 1847.
M. The number of new policies issued wit'kia the
year has been 513, and the amount assured thereby
287,079/. Being an increase, both in the number of
policies and in the sum assured, over those of any pre-
ceding year.
In conclusion, the directors are happy to inform the
proprietors, that the society has not in any degree suf-
tered from the great mortality which has prevailed of
late throughout the kingdom, tie claims, both in the
course of the year ending Juue 30, 1847, and also within
the six months ending with December last, not having
equalled either in number or amount those of preceding
years.
Tables of rates and forms of proposal can be obtained
of any of the society's agents, or by addressing a letter
to G. 11. Pinckard, Resident Secretary, Office, No. 99,
Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury.

f

THE MURDERERS OF DEJARRIER.—The Droit
gives the following details as to the manner in which M.
Beauvallon and M. D'Ecquevilley made their escape
from prison :—" On Friday, the 25th ult., at about 12
o'clock, M. Bourbonne, D'Ecquevilley's brother-in-law,
went to the Conciergerie with a Termission to visit the
two prisoners. After they and another prisoner were
brought out, they entreated the National Guards on duty
to sign a request that they should be set at liberty.
Many of the guards refused to sign, because they were
not condemned for political offences. The prisoners
were importunate, affirming that they had no intention
to fly, but meant only to go and support the (rause of the
people. D'Ecquevilley added that his wife was at the
point of death, and that his only wish was to be at
liberty long enough to go and close her eyes. To in-
crease the interest in his favour, he showed II cross
which he said Cieneral Prim had sent him since his con-
finement. Yielding to these instances, some of the
officers in command of the post gave their signatures,
and the rest did the same. Upon this, a captain and
two other officers of the 7th Legion went to the Prefec-
ture of Police and procured the order for the discharge
of the two prisoners."
