ARTHUR-STREET WEST, LONDON-BRIDGE,
November 7, 1844.
THE DIRECTORS of the NATIONAL MER-
CANTILE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY hereby give
notice, that an EXTRAORDINARY OENER AL MEETING
of tt•e PROPRIETORS of the said Society will be held at the
Office of the Society, Arthur-street West, London bridge, on the
29th day of November instant, at Twelve o'Clock at noon, pur.
suant to a Requisition signed by Proprietors holding upwards of
1,000 Shares in the Capital of the Society, for the following pur-
poses :—To consider the propriety of disposing of the concern to
some one of the older Offices in London, in consequence of certain
attempts having been made to wrest the office out of the hands of
the Original Proprietors and Founders of the Institution ; or the
propriety of Dissolving the Company forthwith, with a view to
protect the interests of the Policy-holders and all parties concerned.

The father of the said Mary Philipps was John Philipps, who

said, from the years 176,5 to 1800, and who died and was buried at
Kensington, in the county of Middlesex, in the ysar 1801. The

have been Mary, the wife of Mr. Pay, of Halifax aforesaid, mer-
chant, and Jane, wife of Captain Shaw, of a Highland regiment, in
the service of his then Majesty.
PRICE and BOLTON, Plaintiff's Solicitors.

To the PROPRIETORS and POLICY-HOLDERS in the
NATIONAL MERCANTILE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.
Gentlemen,
THE Proprietors and Policy-holders in the above
Society are respectfully informed that the advertisement for
a Meeting to dispose of, or to dissolve, the Society is issued by the
Directors in consequence of a Requisition signed by a large body of
Proprietors, expressive of the sentiments of three-fifths of the
entire body, calling a Meeting to remove certain of the
Directors from their office. The Society, if under a manage-
ment possessing the confidence of the Proprietary, was never
in a more promising condition, and it only remains to remove
the present obstacles to its progress to make it one of the largest
and most successful offices of the day On behalf of three of
the Directors, and three.fifths of the Proprietary, 1 respectfully
request that the Policy-holders and their friends will put the proper
cons'ruction on the motives of those Dime' ors who have got up the
requisition, and called the meeting to dispose of, or dissolve, the
Society.

BETTS'S PATENT CAPSULE' BRANDY.
Consumers of- Brandy are respectfully informed, that
J. T. BETTS, jun., and CO., will not he responsible for any Bottled
Brandy that is not protected against fraudulent substitution, by the,
PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES, embossed with the words
" BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, 7, SMITHFIELD BARS." Sold
by the most respectable Wine and Spirit Merchants in Town and
Country, at 3s. 6et. per bottle, the bottle included.
Betts's Patent Brandy is used, in preference to Foreign, at Guy's,
St. George's, and the other principal Hospitals, &c., throughout the
kingdom. Attention is especially requested to the security afforded
by the Patent Metallic Capsules.
Country dealers are advertised in the provincial journals ; and lists
of London dealers may be obtained at the Distillery ; where quanti-
ties of not less than Two Gallons may be obtained, in bulk, at 18s.
per Gallon; and in Bottl s, eases and bottles included, at 20s. per
Gallon. 7, SM IT lIFIEL D-BARS.

N.B. The Deed of Settlement requires four-fifths of the votes of
qualified Proprietors to dissolve the Society, whilst Proprietors
repre,enting three.fifths of such votes have already signified to the
Directors their wish for their retirement, and their determination
to maintain the integrity of the Society.
I am, Gentlemen, your-most obedient humble servant,
JOHN L. EVANS, Secretary to the Committee of Proprietors.

F.DWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully
to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO-
SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent
Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita-
tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite,"
used by Edward Price and Co.; but the process by which the real
Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co.
granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the
same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their
burning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, and
their affording so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper,
taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of
them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of
most of the respectable tallow-chandlers throughout the kingdom, and
are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Price and Co., Bel-
mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM.
Persons assured according to these rates are allowed credit (with.
out security) for half the amount of the first seven Annual Pre-
miums, paying interest thereon at the rate of Five per Cent, per
Annum, with the option of paying off the Principal at any time, or
having the amount deducted from the sum assured when the Policy
becomes a claim.
Policies may thus be effected at lower rates than are generally
required for the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have
the same security for the payment of their claims, whenever death
may happen, as if they paid double the amount of premium, which
would be charged for assurances effected in the usual way.

WINTER OVER COATS, WRAPPERS, &c.
Messrs. BURCH and LUCAS (late J. Albert) respectfully
invite gentlemen to view their new and fashionable assortment of
PA TENT and BEAUFORT BEAVERS, FANCY VESTINGS,
TROUSERINGS, &c., for the approaching season ; the style and cut
of every garment are guaranteed equal to any of the first houses at
the West-end, at prices in unison with the economy of the times,
feeling confident that gentlemen who may do them the honour will
be perfectly satisfied with any garment that leaves their establish-
ment. A large assortment of Great Coats kept ready made In all
the different and most approved forms, agreeable to the prevailing
taste ; being made under the superintendence of the proprietors, they
are enabled to speak confidently as to their superiority over all_ gar-
ments of a slop description, the which are entirely excluded from this
establishment.

THE NINTH OF NOVEMBER.
This, this is the day for a civic display,
In London's remark blo Ci' y ;
And, therefore, again we take up the pen,
To welcome it in with a ditty.
Such occasions as these are certain to please ;
And all must pronounce them as splendid ;
When they view the parade of the rich cavalcade,
W,tn pomp and with grandeur attended.
Many thousands remember " the Ninth of November,"
With feelings of glowing delight,
And thron ,on this day, with a view to survey
The beautiful popular sight.
But what would they say to the civic display,
While moving in stately progression,
If MOSES and SON, with the hosts they have won,
Were tojlin in the City procession?
Then the armour of mail wou'd little avail,
And few with the sight would be won;
Whilst " all" would admire the splendid attire,
Produc'd by E. MOSES and SON.
The Sheriffs and Mayor in habiliments rare,
And the Aldermen gaily bedight ;
Would all be out-done by MOSES and SON,
In such a remarkable sight.
N.B. For the convenience of parties residing from town, en appli-
oation, directions for self-measurement will be forwarded post free.

OPINIONs OF THE PRESS.
Strange, sold a t
We regard the work before us,' The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or sufibr.
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
The Authors of The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
Which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot
fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a Court of of Aldermen was held.
Sir P. LAURIE said that nothing could be more
gratifying than the manner in which the procession,
on the day of the visit of the Queen, was arranged
and regulated. The whole of the proceedings of the
day were indeed the theme of unlimited approbation
hut the members of that Court felt that without the aid
of the Government, and some noble and distinguished
persons, they could not have succeeded so effecCuallyin
doing honour to her Majesty. His Grace the Duke of
Wellington most promptly gave his authority in aid
of the efforts of the Court; and the officers and sol-
diers employed on the occasion acted with the greatest
zeal and temper, so that no occurrence of a disagree-
able kind took place amongst the numerous multi-
tudes assembled to hail the visit of the Queen.—

(Hear, hear.) It gave him great pleasure, too, to
state that by the judgment and energy of the City
Police Commissioner, the police force were rendered
most effective, and were most deserving of the cor-
dial notice of the Court..—(Hear.) Sir Peter Laurie
then moved that the thanks of the Court be given to
his Grace the Duke of Wellington, fur the aid ren-
dered by him on the 28th of October, by ordering the
attendance of troops, &c., on the occasion of her Ma-
jesty's most gracious visit on the opening of the
Royal Exchange.—(Loud applause.) He also
moved that the thanks of the Court be
given to Sir George Murray ; to the Benchers
of the Temple; to Messrs. Child and Co., the
bankers; to Lieutenant •Colonel Cox, and the officers
of the Artillery Company ; to the Commissioner of
the City Police, &c., &c. The votes of thanks were
unanimously agreed to; and
Sir PETER LAURIE said he experienced peculiar
pleasure in bearing testimony to the admirable plan
adopted by Mr. Harvey for keeping the streets quiet
and orderly, and he rejoiced to find that the Com-
missioner was so extremely well qualified to manage
and control so large a force.—(Cheers.)
Alderman Lucas, in seconding the motions of
thanks, heartily complimented Mr. Harvey upon his
skill and activity.
Alderman WOOD said that the approbation thus ex-
pressed was well deserved. The Commissioner had
been obliged to employ a number of additional men
on the day of the Queen's visit, and, in order to
maintain order more effectually, he dressed the newly-
sworn constables in the old clothes of the force, so
that the apparent numbers of the police operated in
preventing anything like confusion amongst the vast
erowds.—(Hear, hear.)
Sir P. LAURIE said that at the last Court of Alder-
men the letter of Sir James Graham, announcing the
gratification felt by her Majesty at her reception and
entertainment, had been read. It was his wish that,
in the narrative of the proceedings, that letter should
be introduced.

The LORD MAYOR intimatei that a Committee
was engaged in considering the subject, and that, no
doubt, there would be no omission of any circum-
stance worthy of record.—(Hear. hear.)
Alderman Wow) wished that the letter written by
Sir James Graham to the Lord Mayor, on the subject
of doing away with the evening sitting at the Central
Criminal Court, should be entered on the minutes of
the Court. He submitted a motion on the subject, and
Alderman Humphery seconded the motion.
The LORD MAYOR most decidedly objected to the
proposition, which at once fell to the ground.
The Court then adjourned, and proceeded to Guild-
hall, for the purpose of holding the ceremony of
swearing in the new Lord Mayor.

COURT OF SEWERS.
A special meeting of the Court of Sewers for the
City of Westminster, and part of Middlesex, was held
yesterday at the Sewers-office, Greek street, Soho-
square, Thomas L. Donaldson, Esq., in the chair.
The most important business of the day, namely, to
receive tenders for the works on the lianelagh and
Counters-creek districts, and to take such steps thereon
as may be deemed expedient, having been brought be-
fore the Court by the Chairman, an animated dis-
cussion ensued, upon a proposition c)f. Mr. Leslie's to
return the tenders unbroken to the respective parties,
and to throw open the works upon the line to further
competition. The motion was ultimately negatived,
and the different tenders—three in all—having been
opened and compared, it was announced that Messrs.
Hazlitt and Bonnin's was the lowest. -
On the question that their tender be accepted,
Mr. LESLIE objected that by the Court's present
system of contracting, they were paying twice as
much as was paid per foot run by the Holborn and
Finsbury division. He had been to the neighbouring
Commission for the purpose of certifying this point ;
he had got the fullest particulars of their mode of
doing business there, and he had ascertained, beyond
the possibility of a doubt, that for every foot of
sewerage put in by the Court of Westminster, the
Holborn and Finsbury division could build two.
That was a matter of some importance to the public.
By a continuance of the present defective system they
were losing sight of the public interests, and damaging
their own character, as a public Court, to an enor-
mous extent. It was a singular and atriking fact,
that the same person did the works on that district as
in their own—he meant Mr. Bennett, the late con-
tractor. What did he charge them, and what that
Court ? Why, he charged the llolborn and Fins-
bury district only 131. 15s. per rod, in cement, but
his price to that Court was 151. 10s.
_ _

Mr. ALLASON would remind Mr. Leslie that Mr.
Bennett was not atir contractor now, neither was he
present in Court.
Mr. LESLIE thought the fact that that gentleman
had contracted with both Courts was a very im-
portant one. He (Mr. Leslie) had in his pocket a
copy of the contract, and the prices for which Mr.
Bennett had tendered for a particular line of road,
and that price was greatly under what that Court paid.

The CHAIRMAN-Blit Mr. Bennett lost several
hundred pounds by that contract, and the Court made
the loss up to him afterwards.
Mr. LESLIE would suppose that correct. It did
not vitiate his argument. They did, indeed, allow
him 2001., but that was in consequence of an ob-
struction by the Regent's Canal, which had not been
before contemplated. But what were the prices ?
Why there, 18s. 6d. per foot lineal, while in that
Court they paid 21. 2s. 10d. Was he not right, then,
in saying that they in Westminster paid double to
what they paid in Holborn ? The ramming in and
filling in in Holborn was charged fourpence, but in that
Court one shilling ; and that difference of price arose
simply from their system of accepting contractors for
the district, and the unfortunate bill of particulars
which they hal sent into the contracting parties.
They were literally binding themselves hand and
foot, and giving themselves up to the tender mercies
of those persons. The Holborn and Finsbury dis-
trict had got seven tenders from respectable parties.
Jr. Bennett's happened to be the lowest, and he was
accepted ; but why, he asked, should Mr. Bennett
charge them 15/. 103., and the Holborn district only
131. 15s. ?
The CHAIRMAN thought Mr. Leslie was digressing
from the question. Mr. Bennett was no longer a con-
tractor with that Court.
Mr. LESLIE'S argument was directed against the

system. The Court was that day going to choose a To Messrs. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London.
