(Constituted by Act of Parliament), 32, LOMBARD- STREET.

Policies issued to the extent of • . • . . 348000
Being upwards of one-third of a million, and adding nearly 11,0001.
per annum to the Company's revenue.
There are various inducements to assurers in this Company, arising
from the security which' the Company affords—ln equitable rates
and its characteristic principle of liberality, whether in the settle-
ment of claims or facilities to assurers. A distinguishing feature is
also to be found in the division of profits, by which it will be observed
it confers peculiar advantages upon its policy holders, allowing them
in the fullest degree the benefit of survivorship. Policies from this
Company steadily continued thusjncrease very rapidly, holding out
great inducement to the best class of lives to give it a preference.
A policy opened in 1825 for 1,0001. has been increased
in 1840 to . . . . . • . .... £1,337 10

London, September 1,1t343.
The BOARD of SUPERINTENDENCE of the " HALL.
of COMMERCE" take leave to dray your attention to this,
Institution.
It has been built and established at a very great cost, by a
single individual, for the convenience of the Commercial Com-
munity of the City of London, with a degree of public spirit
worthy the metropolis of the world.
The subscription is now placed on so moderate a scale as to
be ne object of consideration's in proportion to the conveniences
offered, which are set forth in the above Prospectus ; and the
Board are of opinion, that without interfering with any of the
existing establishments appropriated to specific branches of
trade, these conveniences may be found available by a very large
body of persons in the City of London—by parties visiting
London occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen
from the Continent GEORGE
other foreign ports.

of Ireland must be placed in contrast with the possible alterna-

The WEEKLY CHRONICLE is now printed on superior
paper of the largest size, containing more reading matter than
any other London Weekly Paper. Great care is bestowed on
the condensation and arrangement of its General News and
Parliamentary Intelligence, of which it gives a much fuller and
far more satisfactory summary than any of its Contemporaries.
And this it is enabled to do from the principle on which its
contents are selected and adjusted ; for while the WEEKLY
CHRONICLE will be found to give due attention to Litera-
tiiience, the Fine Arts, the Drama, and even to Sporting
nee, so far as this latter can be said to interest the
Reader, neither Sporting. nor any other feature of
minis interest, are allowed to supersede the proper objects of
a Newspaper—those subjects of breathing, living import to the
Progress of Society, and to the Well-being of the People
throughout the whole length and breadth of Home and Co-
lonial England.
The WEEKLY CHRONICLE will, therefore, continue to
scrutinise the conduct of Alen in Office—to record Political
Facts as they arise, whether within- er without the Walls of
Parliament—to warn its Readers of the Coming Event before
its Shadow is cast broadly across the public foot-path ; and in
all ether respects to fulfil its purposes as a Newspaper, identified
at once with a Party, and with the People—with the Party of
Practical Reformers,
and with a People seeking the common

good of all.
The WEEKLY CHRONICLE has been the constant
Organ and Advocate of these principles for many years ; and
hai been thought to .have done good service, in critical times,
upon questions materially affecting the public welfare. It it the
Advocate of Extended Suffrage—of the Ballot—of a Shortened
Duration of Parliament—of Free Trade—of Systematic Colo-
nization—of the Education of the People on the principles of
Civil and Religious Liberty—of a Re-Adjustment of the Reve-
nues of the Irish Church, and of other measures of Justice
calculated to consolidate the Union—of Peace at Home and
Abroad—of a Repeal of the odious Income-tax, with a Reduc-
tion of the Expenditure ; and, not to extend the catalogue, it
may be said that it treats all other Public Questions in a kin-
dred
spirit and tons, whilst its means of information may be
judged from the fact that it was, among other instances of
early intelligence, the first to announce to the world the Visit
of the Queen to France, and the determination of the Govern-
ment to arrest O'Connell and his friends—both which facts
were announced in the WEEKLY CHRONICLE for several
days before they were communicated to the Government Press.
Arrangements have been made for bringing down the News
contained in the WEEKLY CHRONICLE to a much later
date than usual, in some instances anticipating the average of
last year by a week ; and to effect this, every department of the
paper has been scrupulously revised, and efficiently recon-
structed. For the convenience of our friends, the three fol-
lowing editions are published; and, by attending to these direc-
tions, the substitution of any other edition for the one preferred,
and for which the order should be distinctly given, may be
prevented :-
1. An Edition for exclusive circulation in the provinces on
the Saturday ; marked " Country. Edition."
2. An Edition for circulation in London on the Saturday,
and in the country on the Sunday : marked " Town and
Country Edition."
3. An Edition for exclusive circulation is the Metropolis and
its environs on the Sunday : marked " Town Edition."

may be obtained of all respectable newsvenders ; and by post,
paid in advance, at a subscription of 265. per annum, 13s. the

procure instantly au evacuation from the bowels merely by means of
a little water only ! It is, therefore, a substitute for physic, very
acceptable in every family ; and being, likewise, the.most certain and
wholesome remedy that has ever been devised for costiveness, and
for removing redundancies and accumulations in the intestine and
digestive organs, it has been gladly adopted by innumerable indi-
viduals, as a welcome means of release from the habitual use of pur-

the water, and contains within it a double-action movement, that.
discharges its contents by the slightest effort of the hand, and affords
the utmost privacy, combined with comfort, in its application, its
shape and size allowing of its being carried to any part of the house,

POOR TAILOR BY HOLLOWAYVPILIS.—John Green, a tailor,
residing in Chapman-street, Commercial-road, had not been
able for twelve months past to eat any animal food; if he
did he brought it up immediately. His friends thought that
he would not live long; however, after taking a course of
this wonderful medicine for about six weeks, he was, enabled
to eat anything as well as ever he could in his life. Persons
of weak stomachs, bilious habits, or nervous temperaments,
will derive almost new -life, strength, and vigour, by the use
of these wonderful Pills even when every other means have
been tried in vain.—Sold at Professor Holloway's establish-

CURIOUS PHIINOMENON.—As the lonian ship Alex-
ander, Captain Pomoni,' was sailing in the direct course from
Smyrna to Trieste, on the 26th of November last, in the
neighbourhood of Cape Strofadi, in 37 deg. 9 min. north lat.,
and 20 deg. 45 mm. east long., and not far from
Zante, the crew obsei'ved a violent convulsion of the
sea, accompanied with, a vapour having a strong bitu-
minous odour. The water was of a high temperature, and
muddy; the plummet heaved to 16 fathoms, but without
bottom. In consequence of the violence of the wind, the cap-
tain could not remain long on the spot ; yet the streak of the
convulsion, and the discolouration of the water, occupied a large
space in the superficial surface of the sea. The spot indicated is
in the direct course usually adopted'by merchant vessels and
ships of war ; and the phenomenon is conjectured to have
been ca,used by an eruption of Mount Mongibello, which took
place about the •same period. • [The island Stmphades, thirty
miles south of Zante,. seems to be meant. Mount Gibello is
the older part of Vesuvius; we have no account of its being
then in a state of eruption, but Etua was so about that time.]
