NORWICH UNION SOCIETY: for the IN-
SURANCE of LIVES and SUItVIVOItSHIPS, grant-
ing ANNUITIES, and ENDOWMENT of CHILDREN, No.
16, Waterloorplace-,
NOTN' E.—The Insurers and the Public are requested, to
take Notice, that the Society has discontinued entirely all
Business at its late Office, No. 88, New Bridge-street, Black-
friars, and has no connection with any Office in that Street.-
This Society effects Insurances at nearly 10 per Cent. be-
low the usual Rates, and all the Benefit of the Surplus Pre-
minm is given to the Members by Bonuses, added to the
Policies at stated periods. The present Capital of the So-
ciety exceeds 250,0001. A Bonus of 20 per Cent. on the Pre-
miums paiil has been declared upon all Policies granted prior
to June, 1815.

The Report of the late Committee Appointed in Lfindon,
for investigating the Affairs of Institution, speaks in the,
highest terms both of- the stability of the Society and of its
Plan.

Ip inaliing some comparisons between this Society and the
Equitable, in Bridge-street, this Report states :
" The Committee would have abstained from all allusion
" to any othtr Institution of a similar nature, had not the
" enemies and rivals of the Norwich Union Society pursued
" a different course: they have not merely provoked compa-
" rison, they have forced it ; and your Committee feel con-
" vinced, it is this Society that will have cause to rejoice in
" the result, instead of its enemies and opponents. The
" Norwich Union Life Insurance Society may challenge cons-
" parison with the' first of all Societies of a similar descrip-
" tion, namely the Equitable Assurance."—The final Re-
port of the Committee mentions the Life Office as follows :
" In the former Life Report your Committee have to point
" out an omission, but not one of sufficient importance to of-
" feet their opinion then expressed, of the flourishing state of
" that branch of the Institution. They omitted to estimate
" and allow for the repurchase of the Endowments for Chil-
" drew, which may now amount to about 75001."

THE celebrated CORDIAL BALM of GI-
LEAD is a preserver and restorer of health to the
weak, the sickly, and infirm. Its warm and renovating qua-
lity indisputably renders it the best medicine for relaxations,
debility, lassitude, tremors, sinking of the spirits, and alt
those nervous affections which harass and oppress the weak,
the sedentary, and the delicate; it warms and steadies the
cold and tremulous nerves, invigorates the muscular system,
animates the spirits, and renovates the whole man ; whereby
the chill watery fluids become rich and balsamic, and the cir-
culation resumes its healthful state.

Incorporated CLERGY ORPHAN SOCIETY.

. The Anniversary Meeting of this Incorporate() So-
ciety for clothing, maintaining, and educating poor
Orphan Children of Clergymen of the Established
Church of England, until of age to be put ap-
prentice, Was. held on Tuesday, at Freemason,'
Han, at which the Right Honourable and Right
Reverend Lord Bishop of LONDON presided.
The Meeting was occupied three hours in Iran'-
acting the business of the day. . The sciretal Of-
ficers of the Institution were re-elected, and also
the House Committee and Committee of Audi-
tors. Some new regulations were made with re-
spect to the Committee of Ladies, who kindly su-
perintended; the 4101IMS! ic arrangements of the two
particularly that belonging to the Girls.
The petii;;:ns Of the Orphan Children were then
react by the SeeN:i.arv, and the testimonials which
-
!rad been transmitted ;.;•jtir them ; nineteen chil-
dren were thereupon elected iti:2 the Schools, and
it was determined that an additional :21nober, not
exceeding ten, should be elected at the et,;'.2ing
Quarterly Meeting, in May.
An Address to the Public, as prepared by the
Committee, pursuant to It solution, was then
read and submitted to the consideration of the
Meeting, and unanimously approver; and it was
(hereupon resolved, that it should be printed
and circulated under the direction of the Com-
mittee.

For the information of the friends of this In-
stitution and the public at large, it sPtould be
stated that this Address has been adopted in fur-
therance of the benevolent exertions of the Bi-
shop of London, who, in his- late chare to the
'Clergy of his Diocese, has particular) trecom-
mended it to their protection. The Address truly
states, that the operations of the, Clergy Otphan
School have hitherto been confined, and though,
by a kind of prophetic munificence which has
provided as it were by anticipation for the in-
creased exertions of the
.benevolent, a,,spacious
and healthy mansion has, within the hist aen
years, been erected in thelieighbourhood of the
Regent's Park, for the reciption of more titan
160 children, to be clothed;u4intained, and edn-

[PRICE SEVENPENCF,

cated ; yet " owing to the inadequacy of the
funds, the number at present on the establis meta
does not exceed Si, and the painful necessity of
passing over applications of the most urgent d fps
tress recurs at every Election." The Right Re.
verend the President has since brought this In-
stitution under the consideration of the other
Prelates, all of whom testified their high appro-
bation of it by immediately increasing their an-
nual subscriptions, which were announced to tills
Meeting as follows :--
I 'he Archbishops of -Canterbury and York, logs. each an-
nually; the Bishops of London, Durhatu, Winchester, Lich.
field, and St. Asap!), 10gs. each annually; the Bisnops of
Salisbury anti Ely, Sgs., each, annually ; the Bishops of '‘Ror-
cester, Bangor. Exeter, Hereford,Chester, and Peterborough,
figs. each, annually; the :Bishops OrLincoln; Chichester, St.
David's, Norwich, Cat lisle, Bristol, Rochester, Oxford, Glou-
cester, and Latidaf, gs..each, annually. NutiteroLfs'inereas:-
ed subscriptions wet e also announced ; also, several dona-
tions which had just been received :—From the University of
Cantbridge, 4001.; Archdeacon Daubeny, 1C01.; Georgi
Watson Taylor, Esq. M.P. one of the Stewards of the Day,
tool. ; Robert Foster, Esq.- 100 gs.; the Rev. H. H. Norris,
601. &c. &c.
The company adjourned to the Hall to dinner,
which was very nioneronsly attended. Upon the
toast of the Stewards of the Day being drank,
the Bishop of LANDAFF rose to return thanks, and
to apologize more particularly for the absence of
one of them, the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge,
who was prevented from attending by the duties
ot his office. He adverted to the donation of
3001. which had been transmitted by the Vice!.
Chancellor, on the part of the University, to
the Right Rev. President, and he concluded by
proposing the healths of the Vice-Chancellors of
the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford.
The Bishop ot EXETER then, in an- animated
address to the meeting,' expatiated most forcibly
and justly'on the distinguished virtue and talents
of the amiable Prelate who presided over this In,
stitution. He adverted with feelings of peculiar
pleasure to its growing prosperity, which was
ptincipally to be -attributed to his kind exertions.,
He then begged leave to propose the health of the
Right Rev. President, which was drank with
heartfelt gratification..

The Bishop of LONDON, in returning tharks,
dwelt with great energy on the merits of the In-
stitution ; he was proud of the honour of being
elected President for the year ensuing. In re-
commending this Charity more particularly ,to
notice Of the Clergy of his diocese, he had.nnly
done his duty as a Clergyman, and as a Bishop,
especially with reterence to his situation as Preii-
.dent of the Institution ; he said, that upott- deli-
vering his late Charge to the Clergy, he found
them all ready to become snbscribers to, this In-
stitution ; the bare mention of it was sufficient
for that purpose. He ventured, from the encou-
ragement he bad thus met with, to propose to the
Bench of Bishops an increase of their subscrip-
tions, and he found such proposal was acceded to
by them with the greatest satisfaction. He ap-
prehended that the Institution would receive the
same support from the Clergy throughout the
kingdom, which it had received from the Clergy
of his diocese—all being equally interested in its
prosperity ; and he had no doubt that the Laity
would also come forward in its support. Indeed
the prospect of the increase of the fonds of the
institution exceeded-his most sanguine expecta-
tions. - He concluded by alluding to the excellent
state which the Schools were then in, from his
own observation, and from the information which
he had the pleasnre of receiving from all those
who had visited them.

The Bishop of LONDON then proposed a Toast
to the prosperity of an InstitutiOn closely con•
nected in pi inciple with that which They were Ebert
celebrating—'' The National Society for the Edu-
cation of the Poor, according to the doctrine and
principles of the Church of England." He theta
proposed as a toast—" The Society for promoting
Christian Knowledge"—with Thanks for the
Books with which they had on various occasions
provided this Institution' gratuitously.
The BtsnoP having lett the Chair, the Dean of
CHESTER was called thereto, when the' health of
the Vice-President; Lord Kenyon, was drank, as
also of the Treasurer and Secretary, who mad•
suitable acknowledgments.
The Meeting soon afterwards broke up, highly
gratified with the proceedings of the day, and the
flattering prospect of the increasing prosperity of
this most interesting Charity.
Amongst the persons present at the Meeting,
we observed—

The Bishops of London, St. Asaph, Salisbury, Chester,
Gloucester, Exeter, Landaff, and Cloyne; Lords Kenyon.
at-:4 Bolton; the Hon. Philip Posey, the Hon. Mr. Justice

LONDON JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[The Times.]

Yesterday tnoroing dispatches -mere received at
Fad liathurst's office, from Malin rind Gibrattar,
and aim st the Admiralty, from the conlowooling
Naval Officer on that station. The Aid survey-
ing vessel, Captain Smith, had returned from a
complete examioation of the shores of the Adri-
e
,vhich he had been assisted by some An-
stlian Officers, sent for that purpose from Vi-
enna. The Weymouth store-ship Will to bring
home a cargo of timber for the use of the dock-
yards, from Trieste.

The German Mail communicates, in an article
dated Warsaw, two letters, whiCh are said to have
been written by Kosciusko, within a year or two
of that bero'sdeath:--one addressed to Priucetzar-
torinski, the other to the Emperor Alexander, on
the subject of a re-union under a single denomi-
nation, as they arc already under the same scep-
tre, of all those provinces of ancient Poland con-
tained between the Vistula, the,Dnieper, and the
Duna, which acknowledge the Russian stv,i7._
This measure, which was very naturao7 an object
clear to the heart of the PoHO.. %trio', is said to
!;7'-'ll ?,!* "me ;n the serious contem-
•cl th.e Elr.',7elor. It would restore, if not
the indeprnuence, at leas: the integrity of th
great kingdoM of roland, with the exception
of tialicia, and of that trifling part which still
remains to Prussia. Thus all the acquisitions
made by the Russian Empire towards the
West, throughout the course of the last hundred
years, would nominally re-unite themselves with
that vast accession tat Polish territory which re-
sulted to Russia from the Congress of 1814.
Tile pride and national spirit of Poland might
indeed be soothed by such a compliment ; nor
does there appear sufficient reason why the jealousy
of the Russians should be roused by an arrange-
ment which would mark more distinctly to the
his'orian's eye the power anti magnificence A ccr
g to the Muscovite Empire, from the progressive
4sccudancy of her Councils and her Arms.—(Mid.)
