It is unnecessary in this Prospectus, to enlarge upon the advan-
tages of Life Assurance, or its adaptation to most of the exigencies
and relations in life. These benefits have been so extensively pub-
lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated.
This Company is formed for granting every description of Life
Assurance, Annuity, and Endowment ; Loans either for long or
short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis-
factsny security for the payment of premium and interest, and the
repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be
agreed ; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies of
Assurance, and every other description of property.
Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se-
curity, and effecting a policy of Assurance for the amount bor-
rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so
long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party
borrowing 1,000/. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of
a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum-
bered, the sum assured being applied by the Company to repay its
advance.
The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent
and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably.adjusted
scale.
One of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its
benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance
Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With
this view, four-fifths of the profits, arising from Policies affected by
parties on the terms of participation, will be divided every three
years, after the first five years, among those who assure fir the
whole term of life. The sum so divided among the Assured to be
applied to the reduction of the annual premium, or added to the
sum assured as bonus, or paid in present value, at the option of the
Assured.
For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for the
whole of life, without participation in the profits, a scale has been
adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered consistently with
the interests of the Company.
Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of one-half only
of the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon
the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the
arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a fall parti-
cipation of the profits.
The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value
of the policy, on its security.
In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will
be exercised.
Life Assurances will be effected with all the advantages to the
assared afforded by the most respectable established companies.
A. Table of Premiums will shortly be published.
TONTINE ANNUITIES.
This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to
the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons,
who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of ease and affluence
as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this
mrsde of investment ; —by which they will secure a large remunera-
tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company
during their own lives or the lives of their nominee.
The following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine An-
nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or their respec-
tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an-
nuity granted is 61. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee
will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity of 61. ;
but as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be
divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, each of
whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life ; but as they re-
spectively die off, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re-
ceived will fall into the fluids of the Company, for the benefit of the
shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of
subscribers or their nominees.
This mode of investment will place it in the power of almost every
individual, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately ap-
propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in many in-
stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure indepen-
dence and comfort in their declining years.
Parents may also by these means provide for their children.
Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations.
Applications for Shares, in the following form, to be directed to

ROWLAND'S AIACASSIAR OIL.
preserves and reproduces the Hair ; prevents it from falling
off or turning grey ; restores grey hair to its original colour ; frees it
from scurf and dandruff, and renders it soft, silky, curly, and glossy
—facts abundantly proved by innumerable testimonials, which are
open for inspection at the proprietors. As a mild stimulative, cor-
rective, and preservative agent, ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL
has the exclusive patronage of the several Sovereigns and Courts of
Europe, and with rank, fashion, and discernment, supersedes all
preparations of professed similar import. A small pamphlet accom-
panies each bottle of Rowland's Macassar Oil, wherein important
hints and advice will be found on the culture of the hair of infancy,
and on its preservation and beauty through the several stages of
human life.
CAUTlON.—Unprincipled shopkeepers, for the sake of gaining a
trifle more profit, vend the most spurious trash under the title of
"Macassar Oil." It is therefore imperative on purchasers to see that
the words ROWL &ND'S MACASSAR OIL, are in two lines
on the wrapper of each bottle, and on the inside of
the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters.
Price 3s. 6d., 7s. Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d., and

6 IRON TIMES" NEWSPAPER
COMPANY.
(Provisionally Registered.)
Capital 63,0001., in Shares of 11. Is. each.
Offices of the Company, No. 41, Moorgate-street.
For some years before the late mischievous movement against
railway interests on the part of the " Times " newspaper, it had
been evident to all persons engaged in business, that in giving their
advertisements to that journal they were themselves encouraging
and fostering a newspaper which, while it derived the principal part
of its support from the indnstry and energy of the mercantile and
commercial classes of the community, was acting in every way
against their interests.

But however unwilling those classes might be to lend their aid to
such ajounial by sending to it their advertisements, it was compul-
sory upon them to do so, from the fact of .the large circulation of the
" Times " rendering it the only existing medium for obtaining the de-
- size --,Arrevegray-nr -oxr-atternative -aryesteitam.
the existence of a journal, with a circulation to answer the purposes
of a sufficient publicity for advertisements, remained a desideratum.
This want appears to be now supplied by the " Iron Times," and
the projectors of the "Iron Times" Newspaper Company have per-
ceived—in the manner in which that journal has recently assumed
the character of a General Morning Newspaper, and the skill and
talent which have been displayed in supporting that character—a
power of expansion and development which, if duly supported by an
amount of capital immediately available, must inevitably render the
" Iron Times " the leading journal of the age.
Founded on the basis of the " Iron Times" as a Railway News-
paper, the " Iron Times," as a General Newspaper. has a point
d'appui to start from, such as it has never hitherto been the good
fortune of any journal to attain.

To the success of a newspaper there are two points necessary—
circulation and advertisements. These combined—or even one of
them singly—have never, in any instance, been arrived at without a
great outlay and risk of capital ; both of these, however, the " Iron
Times " has at starting. It has but to add to them.
Actuated by this impression, and desirous to insure the perma-
nence of an honest and independent Daily Morning Newspaper, the
property of no clique, either political or literary, a Company has
been constituted for the purpose of purchasing the " Iron Times,"
and infusing into it that amount of immediately-available capital,
which alone appears necessary to insure its increased usefulness as
a public journal, and an increased ratio of profits to all parties con-
cerned.

As a commercial speculation the success of the " Iron Times" is a
matter of public notoriety, and the Committee of Management of
the Company, front the examination of the books, accounts, &c.,
have no hesitation in announcing the probability of a return of at
least twenty-five per cent., or ss. per share, on the capital invested.
To carry into effect the objects of the promoters of the Company,
it is intended to createa capital of 63,0001., divided into 60,000 shares
of H. Is. each—the whole to be paid up. None of these shares will
be allotted to the public until complete registration, which will be per-
fected in the course of a few days.
By arrangements with the present proprietor of the journal, a
limited number, not exceeding 4,000 shares, will be issued in the first
instance, at par ; after which there will be a further issue of a
similar number at 1/. prem. per share ; the remainder at such
periods and at such prices as the Committee of Management shall de-
termine, and the augmented value and importance of the property
of the Company shall demand.

The arrangements for the protection of the interests of the share-
holders—for a pre-emption in favour of original subscribers, for sub-
sequent issue of shares, for the limitation of their liability, and
for the regulation and management of the undertaking—have been
matured; and the deed of settlement to carry these arrangements
into legal effect, is now under the consideration of counsel.
Application for shares, and all communications respecting the un-
dertaking, are to be addressed to H. Edwards, the Secretary, at the
office of the Company, 41, Moorgate-street, London.

To the Committee of Management of the " Iron Time?' News-
paper Company.

Gentlemen,—l request you will allot me Shares, or
such less number as you shall determine, in the Capital Stock of
the " Iron Times" Newspaper Company ; and I hereby engage to pay
the sum of •One Pound One Shilling upon each Share that shall be
appropriated to me, and to execute the Deed of Settlement of the
Company when required, it being distinctly understoOd that my
liability is limited to £1 le. per Share, and that under no circum-
stances I shall be called upon for any further or other stun.
I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant.

ON the DAY when I WENT PURCHASING,
A short time ago.

On the day when I went purchasing,
A short time ago,
I call'd at MOSES' noted Mart,
Which every one must know.

And while I saw, with wond'ring eye,
The noble house display'd,
I felt that Messrs. MOSES were
The greatest in the trade.

On many objects did I look,
Above, around, below,
On the day when I went purchasing,
A short time ago.

I bought a waistcoat and a coat,
And a pair of trowsers, too,
Whose cloth and fashionable snake
Were elegant to view.

And while the articles were good,
I found the prices low,
On the day when I went purchasing,
A short time ago.

I bought an over-coat as well,
And a famous relvet hat;
.And MOSES pleased me very much,
I must acknowiledge that.

And now I'll always bargain there,
Since MOSES serv'd me so,
On the day when I went purchasing,
A short time ago..

HRE %V SBURY AND BIRMINGHAM
RAILWAY.

The Committee of Management of this Company have effected an
amalgamation with the Dudley, Madeley, Broseley, and Ironbridge
Railway Company, on terms which are advantageous to the Share-
holders of both Companies. The liability of the Shareholders of this
Company will be reduced from 501. Shares to Shares of 251., and Two
Shares will be issued to the Shareholders of the Dudley and Madeley
Company for Three of their Shares. By this arrangement the Capital
and Parliamentary Deposit requisite for the entire scheme of this
Company, including a line from Dudley to Madeley next year, will
be secured.
The reduction of the nominal amount of the Shares renders it ne-
cessary for the Shareholders of this Company to exchange their Scrip,
and sign a new Parliamentary Contract.
They are, therefore, required, on or :before SATURDAY, the 17th
inst., to lodge their scrip certificates at the Company's Office for that
purpose, and to fill up the following form.

tion OR mutually advantageous terms has been agreed on between
this Company and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Com-
pany.
By the agreement which has been entered into, it is stipnlated
that Two of the Shares in the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company
shall be given in exchange for Three Shares in this Company. That
six members of the Managing Committee of this Company shall be

their proportionate number of shares in the Shrewsbnry and Bir-
mingham Company.
. . _ _ . .

Parties who may elect to receive back their deposits, may at once
receive 21. per share on account, and the balance as soon as the
amount of the expenses incurred shall have been ascertained.

Parties who may elect to take shares in the Shrewsbtu7 and Bir-

A VISIT TO PETER PARLEY.
As we were the other day passing the shop of Messrs.
Darton and Clark, on Holborn-hill, the flaming placard,
with the words, " Do, Mama, buy me Peter Parley's
Annual," in letters of amazing size thereon, and a pile of
books in the window, on different subjects, all by this
same Peter Parley, attracted our attention; and it oc-
curred to us, whilst gazing on their scarlet and golden
exteriors, that a little information about Peter himself
might form the subject-matter of one of these Sketchec,
especially at the Christmas time, when hs works are so
much in demand as presents for all the little masters and
misses of these three kingdoms.
And who has not heard of this celebrated and indus-
trious writer ? Why, there is scarcely a family to be
found which have not welcomed him to home and hearth.
He has gossipped pleasantly by the fireside to the de-
lighted children of far away places—of barren deserts
and icy regions— of burning mountains and buried
cities—of earth, sea, and sky, and the wonders there-
unto belonging—of art, with all its treasures—of science,
with all its discoveries—of poetry and its thousand
charms—of prose and its countless attractions. He has
soared with his young readers through the starry skies,
and groped, with them in his company, through the
bowels of the earth, "where the diamond lights up the
secret mine." Then he has told them fascinating stories
(always aiming to " point a moral" as well as to " adorn
a tale") of " Cheerful Cherry," of" Inquisitive Jack," of
" Tom Trotter and Dick Boldero," and in " Wit
Bought," "Persevere and Prosper," " What to Do," and
other such titled narratives, helped to make wisdom's
ways ways of pleasantness. Truly the children are
wonderfully indebted to Peter Parley
And let not those who, after all, are only " children of
a larger growth," affect to despise the writer of such
juvenile boo gas we have,gluded to. Genius is never so
graceftirtis When it condescends to people—of small
estate— and it requires genius of a peculiar order to
write for children : let those who think otherwise try it.
Peter Parley possesses this gift in an eminent degree.
He communicates knowledge without seeming to teach,
and therein lies the secret of his great and well-de-
served popularity as a story-teller for, and instructor of,
children.

Like all eminent characters, Peter has had hosts of
imitators, some of them sad blockheads, who have pil-
laged nothing from him but his " good name," in order
to enrich themselves thereby. The productions, how-
ever, of there " Peter Freaks" of literature lack all the
spirit and originality which characterises those of the
real " Simon Pure ;" but as we shall have presently to
refer to this matter, we will let our readers know who
Peter Parley really is.
Fancy a pretty and picturesque suburb of a large city,
and that in this village there is one of the most charming
cottages in the world, shadowed by graceful American
elms, and surrounded by alantbus, chesnut, and dog-
wood trees. Enter the door, around the trellis-work of
whose portico luxuriant creepers twine, and you will find
yourselves, after passing through an entrance-hall, in an
apartment, every article of furniture in which, whether
for use or ornament, displays the perfect taste of its
owner. Pictures by the best English, European, and
American masters adorn the walls, and articles
of vertu are scattered about in -various parts of the room.
From the windows we have a charming view of the sur-
rounding country. Away to the right rises the capitol-
crowned city of Boston; every house, although it is 3 miles
distant, aye, and almost every separate brick, distinctly
seen, so transparent and pure is the atmosphere. Before
us, Jamaica Pond, a beautiful sheet of water, which in
England we should be proud of as a lake, sparkles in the
sun; and to our left, and far away, the pretty church
and the elegant cottages of Brookline gleam amongst
their groves of green. Through. a glass-door we step at
once into thegarden—one of the most picturesque I ever
saw, for nature has done as much and more for it than
it would ever have entered the heart of any landscape
gardener, a Loudon even though he might be, to con-
ceive. Rock-work and water-courses are already formed
by nature, the best picturesque artist in the world, and
art has been only called in as a mere supernumerary.
But let us return to the shaded room we have just
quitted, for the sun is absolutely raining down his fierce
heat, and the thermometer stands in the shade at 96.
An hot summer day even so far north as Boston is no
joke, and that it is unusually warm is proved by a green
and golden humming bird, who (a rare thing in the
neighbourhood) is busy in the bell of a trumpet vine
just outside the window.
" Will you walk into the library, Sir?" says a servant,
and, following her, we were ushered into a small room,
adorned with _ _ _

" Statues, books, and pictures fair "
and a gentleman cordially welcomes us. It is PETER
PARLEY himself—the beloved of boys, and the
glory of girls. He is tall, and rather slightly
made ; for a moment he has laid aside a large
pair of smoked glass spectacles, and we observe
that he has a pair of very bright small intel-
lectual eyes, and soft find kindly in their expression. T
had imagined him an elderly, bald-headed, venerable-
looking man— he was quite the reverse of the picture of
him which I had hung up in my own private and parti-
cular image chamber. Over a beautifully shaped head
grew short, crisp, curly dark hair, and his features were
rather more youthful in cast than might be supposed in
those belonging to a man of some half a century old, for
that I take to be about his age. He was about the best
dressed man I had met in America, and the whole ap-
pearance and bearing of Peter Parley was that of the
perfect and high-bred gentleman. Of his mental quali-
fications, which are not, as they ought to be, appreciated
in this country, I shall presently speak.
Peter Parley's real name is SAMUEL GRISWOLD GOOD-
mut; he is the son of a clergyman of Connecticut, a
state which has sent forth more literary men than any
other in America. Mr. Goodrich was educated in the
common school of his native home, and soon after attain-
ing the age of twenty-one he became engaged in the
business of publishing, at Hertford, where he resided for
several years. In the year 1824 he was compelled by
ill-health to travel, and he visited Europe, and travelled
over England, France, Germany, and Holland, devoting
his attention particularly to the institutions for educa-
tion; and on his return, having determined to attempt an
improvement in books for the young, established himself
in Boston, and commenced the trade, or profession, as it
is more genteelly called, of authorship. Since that time
he has produced some thirty and odd volumes under the
signature of " Peter Parley," which have passed through
a great number of editions in America and in this country,
and many of them have been translated into foreign lan-
guages. Mr. Goodrich informed me that a friend of his
had actually met with one of his books " done" into
Persian, and I have seen a Constantinople edition of one
of the earliest of the " Parley" series.
Of some of these works more than 50,000 copies are
circulated annually. In 1824 Mr. Goodrich published
" The Token," the first annual which ever appeared in
America, and for fourteen years he continued to edit it,
and during that time he contributed most of the poems
of which he is known to be the author. They were all
written whilst he was actively engaged in business. His
" Fireside Education" was composed in sixty days,
whilst he was discharging his duties as a Member of the
Massachusets Senate, and superintending his publishing
establishment ; and his numerous other prose works have
been produced with almost equal rapidity. In 1837 he
published a volume, entitled " The Outcast, and other
Poems," most of the contents of which had been pre-
viously printed ; and in 1841 " Sketches from a Stu-
dent's Window," a collection of prose and poety writings
that had appeared originally in " The Token" and
other periodicals.
Few persons in America, if any, have done so much
as Peter Parley in the way of patronising authors and
artists, and it is a question whether any one else has
done as much to improve the style of book manufacture,
or to promote the arts of engraving. For a long time
he supported, in England, one of the first of American
engravers now living, and to him the art of engraving in
the West assuredly is greatly indebted for its present
high position. It is believed that he has put in circula-
tion more than two millions of volumes of his own pro-
duction, all of which inculcate pure morality and cheer-
ful views of life. His style is simple and unaffected, the
flow of his verse melodious, and his subjects generally
such as he is capable of treating most successfully.
Some of Mr. Goodrieh's poems are remarkably beau-
tiful, and, although he is principally known in England
as a writer of children's books, he is entitled to take a
prominent position in the ranks of those who have
written for children of a larger growth. Scores of
solid literary articles, which have been attributed to
well-known and powerful pens, were written
Griswold
by him ;
and it is only due to our subject that Samuel
Goodrich should be as well known in the literary
_world
by his more elaborate productions,
Ta shies lPa et
ttee rr hPaavrel e)N'v bo
yn
his inimitable books for children.
for him " golden opinions" from
the wise andgoodof
many countries; the former entitle him to consideration
as a profound and vigorous thinker and writer.
He told me, in the course of conversation, that he had
adopted the name of " Peter Parley, as he wished the
tales he told children to
talky and
parleybosping old
gentleman, who could t an " with them.
" When I first used it, I little thought," said he, " that
before long it would be better known than my own."
During . the disastrous panic which occurred some
years ago in the American money-market, Mr. Goodrich,
in common with hundreds of others, was a sufferer to a
very serious extent. rreviously to the calamity he had
built himself a beautiful mansion at Roxbury, near
Boston, and near it a lodge of very elegant design.
Here he fondly had hoped to spend the evening of his
days, in the enjoyment of competence and even of afflu-
ence. But the crash came ; and ono dreary day Peter
Parley, after all his hard work, found himself stripped
of every dollar, and instead of being independent in
circumstances, ten thousand dollars in debt. But he
was not the man to despair ; and acting upon the prin-
ciples of perseverance and industry he had so often in-
culcated, lie " nt ver gave up," but set his shoulders once
more to the wheel, and, with a willing heart and cheer-
ful hope, commenced life anew. He was not so young
as when he first wrote books, but the mine was yet un-
exhausted—his arm was still vigorous, and he recom-
menced working in the veins of knowledge. He was a
prudent man, and so he sold his large house, and,
with his accomplished wife and young family,
removed to the lodge, which his taste soon converted
into a charming home; " and," said Mrs. Goodrich to
me, when I visited them a few months ago, " we are just

. _ _... . ..._ ...,.._ .... . ~_... , 'lit toiled Peter
as happy as we were there." Day and th, -
Parley, flinging off book after book with tb, wooer, and
'exampled ra-
pidity, until fortune smiled on her patient , had de-
partially restored him that of which chande 1I am
prived him. Still he is toiling for the childitro'a•N

happy to say not without earning his just wages. ,
But flesh and blood will wear out ; and our frietx.
Peter Parley's eyes have grown less serviceable than of
yore. What then? his brain is still as active, and if you
will peep through the window of the study any morning
early or any evening late, you will see a graceful lady
acting, as amanuensis to her husband—or, per-
haps, you may hear her composing little songs for
a! periodical which Peter edits fur children, or
mark her inditing some graceful lyric. Mr. Goodrich's
eyesight obliges him to seek the aid of his wife's pen in
this way; and it is not impossible that a certain indescrib-
able charm which pervade's Peter's later works may be
ascribed to this circumstance.

Thus have I given some account, and a very imperfect
one it is, I fear, of one with whose name we have all of us
so long been familiar. He has for years been a mysterious
personage to all but a few ; and I trust that hundreds of
little (aye, and great) folk will not read his works with
the less interest for having known something of the real
original " PETER PARLEY."

WHIZ.

STAFFORDSHIRE AND NORTH
MIDLAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.
In placing before our readers and the public gene-
rally the real merits of those lines now in a position
to go before Parliament, having so far complied with
the standing orders, we know of no scheme more
likely to meet with the sanction of Government than
the above; that is, if general utility, practicability,
and extensive local [support, .form any criteria by
which the Legislature will be influenced in making
their decisions.
The Staffordshire and North Midland Junction
commences at the Grand Junction Railway, at Staf-
ford, and proceeds in a direct course through and
near several important villages, to Uttoxeter. Here,
it may be remarked, a great public convenience will
be felt in the establishment of a railway so far, this
being the most direct route from the centre of Staf.
fordshire, or the county town, to Derby, Ashbourne,
and other important places in the latter county. It
may also be stated, as a fact not at all unimportant,
that the line has been laid down over that distance in
such a direction as to give the least possible annoy-
ance to the principal landowners in the neighbourhood
—viz., Lord Stafford, Earl Talbot, Earl Harrowby,
and Earl Ferrers, from whom no opposition is
expected, and farther, out of the four or five schemes
projected for the same locality, this only remains, the
rest having, one after the other, failed✓ in complying
with the standing orders. The line then proceeds
to Ashbourne across ten or twelve miles of country
peculiarly favourable for engineering purposes, giving
to several populous villages, and that influential town
the conveniences of railway transit and connexion.
Here, as it may he supposed, the line is well supported,
and its existence regarded as a desideratum by the
inhabitants, who are peculiarly situatad as to the
want of facilities for carriage and communication.
There are no canals in this locality, hence land car-
riage greatly enhances the price of coal,limestone, and
other valuable mineral productions of the neighbour-
hood. This seems an anomaly, as coal, for instance,
is found in great abundance a few miles distant,
though the cost of that article is still high. It is,
however, an evil which the power of locomotion only
can remedy. With this in view, as well as a large
amount of passenger traffic, which it is expected the
neighbourhood will supply, it is proposed to carry the
line to Belper or the Ambergate station (which will '
became an important railway focus at some future day),
on the Midland Railway, and there terminate; and, with
this intention, plans and sections have been deposited
for an alternative line. A branch to Worksworth
will complete this line, which, upon the whole, pro-
mises to be one of the most unique and likely schemes
that will go before Parliament, as it will commence
and terminate with two of the most important lines
in the kingdom, and afford communications north and
south, east and west, to a rich, populous, and mineral
district, at present not supplied with such accommo-
dation.

This Company, like some other schemes affected
by the panic, has purposely waived allotting their
shares till this week, when they have issued their let-
ters. Simultaneously with that circumstances, we
understand some overture has been submitted affect-
ing this company and the North Staffordshire ; the
result of which will be known in a day or two. In
the mean time, we are of opinion that parties receiv-
ing their letters of allotment will be quite on the
safe side to take them up ; as, in some shape or other,
this scheme is certain to go on.—From the Iron Times
of Friday, January 9, 1846.
