FIRE BRANCH.

Notwithstanding the large accessions of business male
annually through a long series of years, which obviotisly in-
crease the difficulty of further advances, yet the Fire Pre-
miums of the year 1859 rise above those of the preceding
year—by a larger sum than has been obtained by the increase
of any single year since the formation of the company, ex-
cepting the year 1853, disclosing an advance of 50 PER CENT.
IN THREE YEARS.
The following figures exhibit the progress of the whole
Fire Branch, running over the last Ten years :

Placing the Company. among the very largest offices in the
Kingdom. Indeed, it is believed that there are now only
three offices in existence which equal it in Fire re'v'enue.

LITE BUSINESS.

The Directors desire to call the etpetial attention of the
Proprietors of THE LIFE BRANCH of the Establishment.
The ACTUARY'S Report on this subject is accompanied
by an Appendix, illustrated by two coloured Diagrams,
which make plain to the unprofessional eye the mortality ex-
perienced by the "Royal," as indicated by curved lines,
which contrast most favourably with the fanner Averages of
mortality, also displayed on the Diagrams.
The Bonus apportioned to the Assured, with participation,
amounts to £2 per cent, per annum, to be added to the origi
nal sum assured of EVERY PARTICIPATING POLICY
effected previously to the Ist of January, 1888, for each entire
year that it had been in existence since the last appropriation
of Bonus thereon, and ha ONE OF THE LARGEST
BONUSES EVER DECLAIZED.
The Paid-up and Invcsted Capital, including Life Funds,
amounts to upwards, of £700,000 sterling.

CONSUMPTION ana ASTHMA CURED.—
Dr. H. TAMS discovered, while in the East Indies, a
certain CUfl for CONSITMTION, Asthma, Bronchitis,
Coughs, Colds, and General Debility. The remedy was dis-
covered by him when his only child, a daughter, was given up
to die. His child was cured, and is now alive and well.
Desirous of benefiting his fellow-creatures, he will send post
tree, to those who wish it, the recipe, containing full directions
for making and successfully using this remedy, on receipt o
their names with stamped envelope for return postage.—

KEATING'S COD LIVER OIL, just imported.
The Pale from Newfoundland, and the Light Brown
from Norway,. The supplies of the present season have never
been surpassed, the fish being unusually fine, and the oil
nearly tasteless. Professors Taylor and Thompson, of Guy's
and St. Thomas's Hospitals, have analysed, and pronounced
the Pale Newfoundland Oil the best and most desirable for
invalids of very delicate constitution. The Light Brown
being more economical in price is brought within the reach of
all classes. No higher price need be paid than the follow-
ing:—Light Brown, Is. Bd. per pint, or 3s. per quart. Pale,
is 6d. half-pints, 2s. 6d. pints, 4s. 6d. quarts, or in five-pint
bottles 10s. 6d. imperial measure, at 79, St. Paul's-churchyard,
London.

TEETH-1860—Post free, three stamps. A
TREATISE EXPLAINING Messrs. GABRIEL'S
IMPROVEMENTS in ARTIFICIAL TEETH and
FLEXIBLE CORALITE GUMS, whereby one set will wear
longer than three ordinary ones, and being fitted without
springs, wires or metals, and without any operation, prove
a valuable desideratum to all who have occasion for the den-
tist's services. None but pure first class materials and
workmanship employed, while the expense is even less than
half the ordinary cost. To be obtained only of Messrs.
Gabriel, dentists to the Prince Dottajana, established 1815,
see diploma, No. 110, Regent-street, W., (next Mechi's) and
33, and 34, Ludgate-hill, City.
" The advantages obtainable by Gabriel's system render It
pre-eminently superior, and the nearest approach to perfec-
tion yet attained."—Observer.
" Gabriel's treatise should be read by all who value health;
their system will save much money and more annoyance."—
Morning Herald.
For obvious reasons it is necessary particularly to note the
name, and that the entrance to the city establishment is up
the private passage between Benson, the silversmith's, and
he State Fire Insurance Office.— Liverpool, 134, Duke-street;

THE GREAT SOCIAL MYSTERY.—The
recent change in the law of Separation and Divorce has
raised up a new problem which taxes the ingenuity of social
philosophers to solve. In a nation so renowned as this for
the sanctity of its domestic ties, it appears unaccountable that
so many marriages, contracted under circumstances apparently
auspicious, should result in sorrow, disgust, and degradation,
and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock
had passionately loved each other.
It the inquirers into the cause of this mystery had consulted
the great book of nature, instead of dwelling on conventional
theories, they might probably have had less difficulty in
...riving at the truth. Have they ever sufficiently considered
how much these constant revelations of unhappy marriages
may be connected with a peculiar INFLUENCE, frequently
originating in corrupt associations at college, or at school,
and the pernicious effects of which, too often unsuspected by
medical men, poison the very well-springs of life, and produce
many of the disappointments witnesscdin the connubial state.
It it, a matter that deeply concerns the well-being of thou- I
sands who have no idea of the danger that threatens them.
Every person of intelligence should ask himself whether there
bik not something in his past life which admits of the possi-
bility that be himself may be concerned, either at present or
prospectively, in the subject. Science and experience, founded
on professional study, have happily discovered effectual means
of relief ; but it is important that care be taken in selecting
the quarter from whence assistance is sought. Dr. LAME KT
is the only legally qualified practitioner on the Medical
Register who for 20 years has exclusively devoted himself to
the treatment of a peculiar class of infirmities incidental to
youth and maturity. ' A fund of valuable suggestions and in-
formation is contained in his well-known work on the Cure
of Nervous and Physical Debility, which may be had, price ls.,
or free by post for 13 stamps, from Mann, bookseller, 39,
Coruhill ; or direct from the Author, who may be daily con-
sulted from 10 till 3, and from 6 till 8, at his residence, 37,
