Sir Neil Menzies, Bart., of Menzies.
David M. M. Chrichtoun, Esq., of Rankellour.
The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the
whole Profits are divisible among the Policy Holders every three
years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the
society, it may he stated that the additions made to Policies have
been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on
the vested bonus.
Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,0001. effected on the Ist of March,
1832, will, if It become a claim during the present year, be entitled
to 1,2971.; or, if effected on or before the Ist March, 1833, to 1,2751.,
and so on as regards other Policies.
The Accumulated Fund exceeds 260,0001., and the Annual Revenue
is above 70,0001., the whole being in a course of steady and Increas-
ing prosperity.
No other Life Assurance Institution whatever can warrantably
hold out greater advantages to parties Assuring than this Society does.

Lonnon : Longman, Brown, Green, and Longrnans,

The Black Eagle steam-vessel, under the command of
Captain the Right Hon. the Earl of Hardwicke, arrived at
Woolwich. from Rotterdam, at half-past six o'clock yester-
day morning, and Captain the Earl of Hardwicke and Lieu-
tenant W. Peel, came on shore about nine o'clock, and pro-
ceeded to London by one of the river steamers from Charlton
pier, Lieutenant E. B. Stewart remaining in charge of the
vessel. Lieut.-Colonel Wylde, C. 8., of the Royal Horse Ar-
tillery, who accompanied his Imperial Majesty the Emperor
of Russia to Rotterdam, landed soon after the arrival of the
Black Eagle at Woolwich, for the purpose of paying a short
visit to his family, previous to his return to Buckingham Pa-
lace with the 'earliest steamer. His Imperial Majesty the
Emperor of Russia was dressed in plain clothes when he went on
board the Black Eagle at Woolwich on Sunday evening, and,
with Prince Albert, greatly admired the fine looking and re-
markably clean detachment of Royal Marines, under Lieute--
nan Marriott, selected for the occasion to serve in the Black
Eagle. His Imperial Majesty first expressed his approbation
in the hearing of the men ; and observing a medal on the
breast of the sergeant, and on the breasts of several of the
privates, the Emperor, in the kindest manner, asked the ser-
geant for what service he had received it, and was answered
that it was the Syrian medal, granted to those engaged in
the siege of Acre. His Imperial Majesty then addressed
Lieutenant Marriott, and complimented him in very flattering
terms on the fine appearance of the non-commissioned officers
and men under his command, and gave orders that they
should at once shoulder arms as the easiest position on duty.
The cloth was laid for dinner on tables taken on board at the
last moment, and placed on the deck of the Black Eagle, his
Imperial Majesty having expressed his desire to witness the
scenery on the banks of the river Thames as the vessel pro-
ceeded down the river. At an early hour on Monday morn-
ing his Imperial Mkjesty, dressed in military uniform, was
observed in conversation with Captain the Earl of Hardwicke
on the paddle-box, and during the day by his urbanity and
kind disposition completely gained the affections of all on
board, having freely entered into conversation with several
of the petty officers. The sergeant of the Marines was espe-
cially noticed by his Imperial Majesty, and by his request
went through the manual exercises of the British service.
The Emperor then took the sergeant's musket, and went
through the exercises of the Russian service, and in showing
the different positions, remarked that the British soldier
in presenting arms to salute the superior ranks made
three movements—placing his right hand upon the
musket, raising it to his breast, and lowering it
to the proper position ; but the Russian soldier only
made two movements, placing the right hand on the
musket, and turning it round as it was conveyed into its
position, without elevating it in the least. The Emperor
added, that the British movements were certainly the most
graceful, but the Russian movements answered equally well.
At the conclusion of the exercises, his Imperial Majesty pre-
sented two sovereigns to the sergeant of the Royal Marines.
The Emperor during the day repeatedly expressed how
highly he was gratified with the speed of the vessel, and
the ease and freedom from tremulous motion with which she
glided through the water ; and examined the engines, and
the excellent accommodation in every part of this fine vessel.
All the officers on board the Black Eagle were introduced to
his Imperial Majesty, and the voyage was delightful, and
everything as favourable as could be desired. On approach-
ing Helvoetsluys a fleet of Dutch vessels were observed, one
of the war steamers having the flag of the King of the Ne-
therlands at the mast-head, his Majesty being on board to
welcome the Emperor on his arrival. The King of the
Netherlands was received by his Imperial Majesty on board
the Black Eagle, about a mile before the vessel reached
Helvoetsluys, and the Emperor introduced the Captain,
the Earl of Hardwicke, Lieutenant-Colonel Wylde, Lieu-
tenant Brunton, and Lieutenant Peel, to his Majesty, who
was dressed in military uniform, with eight or nine
orders and a Waterloo medal on his breast. The Royal
Marines being under arms, the Emperor again praised the
men for their fine appearance ; and the King of the Nether-
lands remarked that he had not seen finer men. The Em-
peror was so pleased that he presented a diamond ring to
Lieutenant Marriott, and ordered that 9/. should be given to
the sergeant in addition to his previous gift, 5/. to each cor-
poral, and 41. to each private and the drummer of the Royal
Marines ; and the respective sums were handed to them on
the quarter-deck of the Black Eagle at the time they were
about to disembark at Woolwich yesterday morning. On
entering the canal leading from Helvoetsluys, the King of the
Netherlands returned to his own vessel, and in a few miputes
after the Emperor of Russia left the Black Eagle amidst the
cheers of the British sailors, and was received by his Majesty
on the decleof his vessel amidst the most enthusiastic cheers
of his Dutch subjects, who had assembled in great numbers
on the banks of the canal to join in welcoming his Imperisl
Majesty. The scene along the whole of the canal to
the Maas river is described as having been most
animated, and truly gratifying. The Emperor in
again bidding farewell to the officers and crew of the
Black Eagle, at Rotterdam, repeatedly bowed, uncovered, and
said (placing his hand on his breast) " I thank ye—l
thank ye." The British tars again cheered his Imperial
Majesty as he departed with the King of the Netherlands
and the authorities at Rotterdam. It appears that those on
board the Lightning had not known the full extent of the
Emperor's liberality to the crews of the two vessels that had
the honour to convey his Imperial Majesty and suite to the
Continent, 500/. being awarded to them instead of 4004, as
previously stated. 350/. is the sum allotted to the Black
Eagle, and 150/. to the Lightning. The chief engineer of the
Black Eagle, in addition to a diamond ring, obtains 46/. ; the
second engineer, 10/. ; and two third-class engineers, 3/. each,
and the stokers 61. each; the able seamen 4/., and the boys
3/. each, and the petty officers in proportion ; the petty
officers on board the Lightning 71., able seamen 3/., and boys
2/. each, as their shares of the amount divided amongst the I
crew of that vessel. The Emperor's visit to this country
cannot fail to have a good effect, as it has done so much to
remove the prejudices which existed against him by the put'-

nance and fine bearing must have been sufficient, to the un-
prejudiced, to dispel the illusion.

NEWLY-INVENTED SPECTACLES, TELESCOPES,
OPERA GLASSES, MICROSCOPES, &c.—Messrs, S. and
B. Solomons, Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Picca-
dilly, have succeeded in effecting a most scientific im-
provement in Spectacle and Telescope Lenses, &c., of
the greatest transparent power. The extraordinary
advantage derived from this invention is that vision
becomes preserved and strengthened and very aged per:
sons are enabled to employ their sight either by day or
candle light at the most minute occupation, and can see
with those Lenses of a much less magnifying power, nor
will they require the frequent changes to further helps
as the Spectacles now in common use. Also newly-in-
vented Achromatic Waiscoat pocket Telescopes and
Opera Glasses which are invaluable at the sea-side and
on the race-course, as well as at the theatre, &c.—Every
kind of Telescope for Shooting, Sea purposes, and upon
stand for astronomical observations with the celebrated
Lenses of the most clear transparent brilliancy ; the
powers are so great and the Lenses so bright and bril-
liant that minute objects at an extraordinary distance
are brought completely under the eyes.—Sportsmen,
Tourists, and sea-side visitors will indeed here have a
great treat. Their invisible Voice Conductor gives im-
mediate relief to old standing extreme cases of deafness.
Caution.—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians and
Aurists, 'are not in any way connected with a person
the same name in their immediate neighbourhood,
nor in any part of the country. To prevent mistakes, be
cautious, and observe.—Only to be had at 39, Albe-
marle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel.
[ADrorrisitsturcr.]—A CURE THAT MUST ASTONISH
THE WORLD, BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS !—Mrs. Lee,
keeping a small shop in Brick-lane, Spitalfields, had for
five years suffered from Pills, but more particularty from
a general and fearful bearing down of the body—her
health was conceived to be completely ruined I She
was brought almost to beggary by doctor's bills. When
she first commenced the use of the miraculous Pills her
friends considered her past cure, but in two months, by
their means, she was made as sound and as strong a
woman as ever she was in her life.—Sold (also Hollo-
way's Ointment) at Professor Holloway's establishment,
244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis), and by
almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout
the civilised world.

We beg to draw the attention of those of our
readers who meditate a tour through the Highlands of
Scotland this season, to a new line of conveyance between
Glasgow andlnverness, passing through Lochloinond, the
paragon of the Scottish lakes, incomparable in its beauty,
exceeding all others iu variety and splendour, and pos-
,essing a style of landscape which must please not merely
the cursory spectator, but also the painter, and along the
beautiful vale of Glenooe, whose scenery is picturesque
and diversified, combining in singular variety savage
grandeur with " green fertility."
KILWINNING.—We have had several fine showers
during the last few days, and the crops wear a hEalthy
and most delightful appearance. Vegetation has made
an astonishing progress since the commencement of the
!ae rains. Should a continuation of the present excel-
ent weather be vouchsafed, an abundant harvest may be
otnfidently anticipated.

RESUMPTION OF COLLIERY OPERATIONS.—Though
" the strike " continues, several collieries are czain is
operation. Amongst the number, we are glad to men-
tion Hetton, one of the most important in the trade ;
where upwards of ninety chaldrons are being produced
daily. Upwards of 100 men and boys are employed
under-ground—a considerable number of whom are
old pitmen, who have seceded from the Union. As a
staggering proof a the absurd and mischievous
policy of that body, we may mention the fact, that
some of the men now working at Hetton
earned 6s. I Id. each per day of six INut..s, On. the
