BRITISH EMPIRE MUTUAL FIRE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY,
.37, New Bridge•street, Blackfr:ars, London.
THE MUTUAL PRINCIPLE applied to Life Assurance has met
with extraordinary and long continued success.
FMK ASSURANCE, however, is almost exclusively conducted
on the proprietary system.
The evidence Is complete that large profits are derivable from Fire
Assurance.
BY THE MUTUAL PLAN all these profits are divided among
the Assured, who alone have the control. The Directors are chosen
by the Members from among themselves.
The success which has attended the progress of the British Mutual
Life Assurance Company has led to the establishment of this Society
on these principles, and which is now effecting Assurances against
Fire at the London and Provincial Offices, where rrospectuses may
be obtained.
Application for Agencies may be made to the Secretary.
W. S. GOITER, Secretary.

64Z FENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
I. 7 The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to he the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, rod or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy'
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
t roots till tke latest period of life. Price 3s. Gd., 65., and 105.

THE BEST APERIENT and ANTIBILIOUS
MEDICINE for general use is FRAMPTON'S PILL OF
HEALTH, which effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by
gentle relaxation, without griping or prostration of strength. They
remove head-ache, sickness, dizziness, pains in the chest, &c., are
hi; lily grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, re-
lieve langour and depression of spirits ; while to those of full habit
and tree livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heavi-
ness, end singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will
not fail to be appreciated.
This medicince has for many years received the approval of the
most respectable classes of society ; and in confirmation of its effi-
cacy, the following letter has bOen kindly forwarded to Mr. Front,
with permission to publish it, and if requisite, to refer any respect-
able person to its author :

" Sin,—l feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsoli-
cited testimony to the excellence ofyour Frampton's Pill of Health,'
which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very su,serior ge-
neral medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them--very rarely having re-
course to any other medicine for a long period of years. She
has recommended them extensively, and in one Instance in
which she induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the
first box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think
that, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of the many patent medi-
cines before the public of equal value as a ' friend in need ;' certainly
none possessed of superior claims. I shall he happy on all occasions
to give them my individual recommendation; and am,

RESTORATION OF THE HAIR.
" To Messrs. A. Rowland a'nd Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London
"Linton, Cambridge, October 25, 1847.
" GENTLEMEN,—A striking instance of the efficacy of your Macas-
sar 011 in the restoration of the hair has just come under my notice.
The person alluded to is a young man named Baylock, of Ashdon,
near this place, whose entire head of hair came off by some unac-
countable means. He purchased of me several different popular pre-
parations, which he regularly and faithfully used, but without effect,-
ing the least apparent change, At last I advised him to try a bottle
of your Macassar Oil ; and, on Friday last he communicated to me
the pleasing intelligence of the reappearance of a thick head of hair.
You can make what use you please of this, and refer inquirers to,

THE MAGAZINES, &c.

[A considerable portion of the following notices of
the Magazines and Periodicals for June, had been in
type for several days past, but the extraordinary
length of our foreign correspondence, and the re-
markable events which have rendered that corre-
spondence more than usually important—thereby
necessitating its immediate publication—has pre-
vented the appearance of our literary criticism on an
earlier day. We are are induced to prefix to them
this candid sentence of apology, because The Sun
has hitherto awarded the earliest attention to the
Magazines and other monthly Periodicals.]
BLACKWOOD.
Without of course sympathising in any way with
the Conservative predilections of Christopher, or
without being able indeed to appreciate his perennial
antipathy to free-trade, we do thoroughly sympathise
with some of his schemes for "Disarming the
Chartists," we do thoroughly appreciate his indigna-
tion at a restricted currency. The introductory
article for June is one of the most forcible political
chapters that has appeared for many a long month in
Blackw Blackwood. It
tplopens with a very rambling,
incoherent, and petulant abuse of the politico-
economicand
advocated by
mentioning either the illustrious writer or the distin-
guished statesman. The contribution, nevertheless,
Hpruospkoisusnodnel
wbjytho Autd, amhov, Smith:e

mentioning
becomes more rational, and consequently more read-
able, towards its conclusion. While we cannot but
smile at the remark in page 660, that "Government
seems resolved that the nation shall drain, the. lees of
free trade to the dregs, and taste it in all its bitter-
ness," we must coincide in the aspiration expressed
afterwards in page 666, that the Cabinet should con-
trive to equalise the supply of currency. Whether
or not the Bankers' Circular is correct in its con-
jecture, that there never has been before 1847.-48
a -48
a monetary crisis which has lasted a whole year, it is
certain that the panic and the subsequent stagnation are
quite terrible enough to justify some daring interposi-
tion on the part of the Government. While wheat still
continues (notwithstanding the last bountiful harvest
and the importation of 12,000,000 quarters of foreign
grain) at 51s. a quarter, while butcher's meat is still
7d. a pound, while slave-grown sugar is sd. or 6d. a
pound, while there are so many railway undertakings
suspended, that in one locality alone there are no less
than 14,000 railway labourers dismissed ; while in
Manchester there are on the average 9,000 operatives
out of employment and 11,000 working short time,
while in Glasgow there are absolutely as many as
20,000 working short time and upwards of ICO,OOO
persons out of employment—it is surely time for the
Legislature to interfere, to revive confidence, to excite
enterprize, to provoke industry, to lead to employ-
ment, and to prevent starvation. If, in 1793, Mr.
Pitt came forward with a grant of 5,000,0001. to aid
the commercial interests ; if, in 1797, the same
Minister saved the Bank of England by introducing
the suspension of cash payments ; if, in 1799 and
1800, the Cabinet relieved the nation from the ill-
effects of two successive bad harvests by sump-
tuary laws regarding food, by stopping distil-
lation from grain, and by importing large quan-
tities of Indian corn to meet the
.demands of
the population, it is surely not irrational to
demand some sort of assistance in the present
emergency from a liberal and conscientious
Government. Notwithstanding the obduracy evinced
by the colleagues of Lord John Russell in maintain-
ing the odious and abominable Bank Charter Act of
1844, we do not agree with !Maga in regarding the
Cabinet as implacable as that incorporation, of which
a suitor once complained to Thurlow, and upon
which Thurlow remarked, " Justice, sir, did you
expect justice from an incorporation? which has no
soul to be damned, and no body to be kicked."

ca
ob yh
trriinht of

ume nt
Black-
wood, we will extract the pith of it in the following
paragraphs :

" What is wanted is something to equalise the supply
of currency; to contract paper when the precious metals
are abundant, and, consequently, credit is becoming
dangerously expansive, and to expand it when they are
withdrawn, and, consequently, credit is in danger of
being ruinously contracted. Sir R. Peel's system does
just the reverse of this: it pours paper in profusion
through the country, and consequently fosters absurd
and improvident speculation, when specie is abundant,
and dralss it in suddenly, and with frightful rapidity,
the moment that the precious metals begin to be with-
drawn, either from the effect of extended importations
or foreign warfare. To go right, and obviate the dread-
ful evils which their system has introduced, we have
nothing to do but to establish a monetary policy pre-
cisely the reverse. What is wanted is a sliding-scale for
paper money,—a system which shall tend to contract
paper issues when specie is abundant, and pour them
forth with restorative and beneficial vigour the moment
that it begins to disappear. Thus, and thus alone, it
was that Mr. Pitt enabled the country to combat the
dangers and surmount the difficalties of the revolutionary
war. Under Sir R. Peel's system, the nation, and every
one in it, would have been bankrupt when the Bank
stopped payment in 1797, and we should long ere this
have been irrecoverably rendered a province of France.,
"It belongs to practical men, versed in the mysteries
of Lombard-street and the Stock Exchange, to say how
this important object is to be attained with due attention
to the security of the notes issued, and sufficient safe.
guards against an over-issue, and consequent injury to
capital, by an an undue rise of prices owing to that cause.
That the thing is possible is self-evident. It appears to
be essential to such a system that one of two things
hhould be done. Either that the issuing of notes should
be left to all banks, under the limitation that private
banks should be obliged at all times—in Bank of Eng-
land paper or gold or silver—and deposit Government
securities to the extent of the notes so issued, to be ap-
propriated to their payment in case of bankruptcy; and
that the Bank of England should be bound to pay its
notes in gold or silver, at the price those metals bear at
the time of presentment. Or' that the issuing of notes,
like the coining of money, should be confined entirely to
Government or its officers ; and that the regulation of
their amount should be entrusted to certain elevated
functionaries—like the Commissioners of the National
Debt—with instructions to them to regulate their issues
by the price of gold and silver, increasing them when the
rise in the value of those metals showed that they were
leaving the country, and contracting them when the price
fell, and it was evident that the necessity for an extended
paper circulation was passing away.
"Of course it would be necessary, under such a sys-
tem, to impose some limit to the obligation of the Bank
of England to pay in specie; but this might be done
either by obliging that establishment to
pay in either of
those metals at the current price they bore, in the mar-
ket at the date of presentment,

40,000,0001. for Great Britain and Ireland, notes of a
different colour, as red, should be issued, which were ex-
changeable for specie only when the precious metals had
again fallen to a certain price in the market. These
notes should be issued when gold rises to a certain price,
and is evidently leaving the country just as grain from
Government stores should be issued to the people in
periods of scarcity—and drawn in when it returns, and
the price falls. We throw those out only as crude sug-
gestions, which may or may not be adequate to answer
the purpose in view. What we rest upon, and press in
the most earnest manner upon the consideration of the
country, is the absolute necessity of altering the present
system of contracting the paper when the gold is taken
away—in other words, limiting the issues of bread when the
beef fails—and substituting for it one of extending the
issue of paper when the precious metals are withdrawn;
