MYSTERIOUS PRIZE.

On Wednesday last, as a young man was enjoying
the agreeable pastime of- popping at .small-birds
some fields near Sedgley, an intended viletirn.;
deadly sport perched itself on something, the exact
nature of-which was not very discernablc,...in grkb of
the pits of water with which the fields in that neigh-
bourhood abound. Our sportsman took his aim, bat
the, feathered one, too cunning-to- remain' in such
-dangerous company, wisely took 'Wing and flag
away. Disappointed for the moment the • wandeiir
resolved upon a scrutinizing examination ' of the
e 2 -
traordinary looking affair from which the bird'44
just departed.. It looked like the head of a barr9
dimly seen through a kind of mist of long-attached
slime and weed. But what business had a
,barrel
there ? Determined to solve this nlysterietts
appearance, and a hedge .being near; the
hero : of . our adventure judiciously _armed
himself with •a. tolerably lengthy, hedge rat,
and. took many a cautious poke at the tantalizinig
object before him. The weeds and aqueous iiierns-
lations at length gave way, and a portion of -a toles'
bly portly kind of kilderkin stood- reVialed to vidv.
It was heavy, and literally stuck in the mud. to
• •
get, it out,unaided was impossible, and' assistance wlls
speedily gatherld. A stout rope and a hearty-tug Or
two Soon brought the curiosity to the shore. It W 65
evidently, well charged with something-but :what
could it be ? It was broached, and forthwith from at
poured a rich stream of ruddy mellow old port /4-
port such as might have warmed the heart -of even
old -Bacchus himself!' The cheerful news .of this
wonderful vintage soon spread around ; even from'tb6
most unseemly vessel was the precious liquor eagerly
!efiraffed,,.and those "drank port whoilepr deant‘
iioit before Nor did the luck of the party-end here,
for one of them sagaciouily enough conjeettiriil
that, as tho surface of the pit presented suclA go
things, 'its iriier depths might not,;he less satisfae-
torily stored, and forthwith-an active. exploration 9.f
all its muddy recesses commenced, and the skill and
enterprise- of the 'party beheld its reward in the- safe,
landing,- amidst cheers and *eager expectation, . 0'
another rotund prize;, of similar size and' aspect 1° 1:
the -one already secured ! This, on. tapping, turn
out to be a cask of pepperpint AOlie news of find-
ing theSe good things derelict became pion, extensively
known, it was resolved that 'weans should be taken to
discover,- if possible, unto whom these reinarliablo
waits legitimately belonged. The wine. c.ask w 5,3,
,found to be marked., "Prince and Co., 'Tanaworthi
and three " Ws" were impressed on:that containing
the peppermint. A communication was forwarded to
Tarnworth ; but, strange enough, the firm knew tor
thing of the commodities—nor is any taco of their'
-to-be found in the books, though referred ttr for yeht'
back.—Wolverhenyton Chronicle.

r'r B ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE
RS. .ALLSOPP and SONS regret the
pecessity of again alluding to a statement put forth by
the and Co., purporting to be a correct representation of
current prices and shipments of Pale Ale to the East Indies.
l correctness of the returns alluded to has been fully shown in
ver cirtirniir advertisement, notwithstanding which Messrs. Bass have
etntT'ciously refused to withdraw the same, thus rendering it in.
*went uPorl Messrs. Allsopp transactions lbefore the pnblic the following
,ed account of the actual in Pale Ale shipped by
Winnselves and Messrs. Bass respectively. In order to avoid the pos.
sibi:lty of mistake, the most careful examination of the official re-
ports ,cif the Indian markets, during a period extending over the
months et November, December, and January last, has been made,
Messrs. Allsopp confidently submit the result as a proof of the
superior estimation in which their Ale is held throughout the three
zrcsidencies.

The best and most varied provision for after-life hitherto offered—
every 21. 12s. per annum, paid from the ago of twenty, will, at sixty-
five, give the policy-holder the choice of an annuity of 471. 16s. 6d.,
or 3491. 110. cash, or policy at death of 4661. Similar advantages at
fifty, fifty-five, and sixty, through an increased anneal payment—

presentatives fn cases of premature death.

In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a Bonus was declared in June
1829, exceeding one per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an
average of the different Ages ;- and two subsequent divisions of nearly
equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842.
On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added
to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to
about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those
seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted at the three
Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of 81 per cent. was de-
clared on the 7th of June, upon the premiums received on Policies
which had been in force seven years and upwards at Christmas 1842,
and such return is now payable at this office daily (Friday and Sa-
turday excepted) between the hours of ten and three o'clock ;• or by
the respective agents in the country.
Notice is hereby given, That Assurances which expire at Lady
Day must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with
Mr. SAMS, No.l, St. James's-street, corner of Pall Mall ; or with the
Company's Agents throughout the Kingdom, otherwise they become
void.

THE SKIN AND COMPLEXION
LOWLAND'S LOTION.—The use of Gowland's Lotion is
speedily followed by the disappearance of every species of eruptive
malady, discolouration, &c., and the establishment of a pure surface
of the skin, accompanied by the brilliant circulation which constitutes
the tint of beauty, whilst as a refresher it preserves the most delicate
complexion, and sustains to a protracted period the softness f
and vivacity peculiar to earlier years.

and Gentlemen, who have skin of thin texture, and suffer from
irritation caused by Soaps (though of the most emollient kind) and
the friction of the Razor, will be most agreeably surprised at the
absence of these inconveniences iu the.use of the Euxesis ; for its
peculiar property is, to leave the face beautifully smooth and soft,
and more capable of resisting the effects of sudden transitions from
heat to cold, experienced in a variable climate, like our own. The
Euxesis may be safely used at Sea, in the East or West Indies, and all
the Colonies, as climate will not deterioate its qualities, or time de-
predate its value 1

MHE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW.
-•Ter -I3E .PITI3I4SiinD QUARTERLY.
For a considerable time Past.thste has been, "on -the part of a large
proportion of the public, a growinafeeling of the want of a Periodical
accommodated to the character of the times. The professedly reli-
gious Magazines have been chiefly devoted to theological subjects,
and generally address themselves to the peculiar views of one sect ;
and the Literary, Scientific, and Political Journals—though some of
them conducted with admirable talent—have excluded religion alto-
gether from their pages, or allowed it only a subordinate place ; and
no attempt has been hitherto made to meet the increased intelligence
in connection with the strong religious feelings of the age.
To remedy these defects the present Work has been undertaken. It
is not intended to be a Theological Journal. No subject that can oc-
cupy the interest of a well-cultivated mind will be excludod ; but
topics of every kind will be treated of by individuals accustomed to
view them in their highest relations ; and Papers of a more strictly
religious character will be frequently introduced.
In discussing religious subjects, there will be no attempt to advo-
cate the distinguishing peculiarities of any particular sect, and a re-.
ference will be made only.to those.great principles upon which all the
Evangelical Communions are agreed.

Political questions will be 'considered, not so much in reference to

the views of party, as to the virtue and happiness of the community ;
and while, in this department, the work will be devoted to the main-
tenance of principles decidedly Liberal, those sentiments of religion
and humanity will be inculcated which alone can make the wisest
enactments permanently beneficial.
In Literature, the moral and_relicieus_thicionexof_Works_nntler..
review will always be the first subject of consideratiou, and their
literary merits will be discussed with a spirit of truthfulness and ear-
nestness which is not inconsistent with the lighter graces of criticism.
The latest discoveries in mental and physical science will be regu-
larly nnfolned, by men themselves Of the highest inventive genius.
In all departments individuals of the greatest celebrity in this, and
in other countries, have promised to adorn our pages with their con-
tributions.

to notice ano less masterly work by the same eminent Oculist and
Aurist, on Deafness. If any of our numerous readers be himself a
sufferer from Deafness, or at all interested in the comfort or welfare
of any one who is, we can do him no greater favour, bestow upon
him no greater benefit, than that of strenuously and warmly recom-
mending him to consult Mr. Stevenson or his very able Treatise on the
subject." _ _
