The Periodical Valuation of the Policies effected with this Com-
pany on the Return System will be made after the 3d of July, 1847,
when an equitable proportion of the surplus premiums will be allotted
to the holder of every such Policy issued prior to. that date.

The peculiar featUre in the mode of division adopted by this Com-
pany consists in the admission of every member to participate in the
surplus he has assisted to create.
The general plan of the office comprises all the real advantages of
which the system of life assurance is susceptible. Insurances may
be effected on the return or non-return systems; in either case the

SHOOTING.—The Heather-coloured JACKET

Registered raletot. There are many gentlemen who have no liking
for field sports, yet would much incline to the Registered Jacket, it
not confining the chest and giving a general sense of freedom ; no
slight recommendation for the library or the early morning walk in
the country ; but the Registered Jacket, for the purpose designed,
viz., shooting, is truly good. Tho Heather recommended, but many
patterns may be seen at most of the agents in tho principal country

ELTERS WATER, commonly known in Eng.
1..77 land as SELTZER WATER.

Messrs. Schweppe and Co., importers of the above Waters, beg
respectfully to inform the public, that they continue to receive, as
heretofore, regular importations of the freshest fillings from the
springs of Nassau, through their resident Agent, who personally su-
perintends the packing and forwarding them to their Address in
London, in baskets of GO quarts and 100 pints each. The cork of
each bottle is stamped at the bottom, with the ducal crown, and tho
words, " Nassau, Selters, &c." sealed at the top, with the date, spe-
cifying the year when filled. This will bo a far better proof of
the freshness, as well as the genuineness of the water, than
any additional covering to the cork, which may as well be ap-
plied in this country as at the springs, and which affords,
therefore, no security to the public beyond the respectability of the
parties adopting such a fancied guarantee. The Duke of Nassau,
by any recent arrangement, has placed no impediment to the waters
of his celebrated springs reaching this country, through resident
agents, and Messrs. Schweppe and Co. continue, without the slightest
interruption, to import large quantities through the same agent, on
the Rhine, whom they have employed for twenty years past. They
received their first and second shipments on the 12th and 31st of
May, being the first parcels that reached this country, a portion of
which went to Buckingham Palace, for the use of her Majesty and
the Court, and the rest, as usual, distributed among the first classes in
the kingdom. They expect their third shipment in a a few days.
These waters are obtainable together with their well-known Soda
and other Aerated waters of their agents, in nearly every town in
the United Kingdom.

S HALDERS'S ALL-POWERFUL FOUN-
TAIN PUMPS,
CONSIDERED BY EMINENT MEN TO BE THE GREATEST
ADVANCEMENT IN THE USEFUL ARTS IN MODERN
TIMES. • • • - •

These Pumps, with the same motive power, by acting without fric-
tion or leakage, are found In practice upon an average to be seventy
per cent. more affective than the best Friction Pumps.
N.B. When a Friction Pump raises Gibs. and a Fountain Pump
10Ibs. of water per stroke 20 feet high, a man can make as many
strokes with the one as with the other in the same time.

What a noble stride in the art of raising water truly, after the
world for 2,000 years had been struggling with Pistons stuck fast in
Cylinders. Happily, however, for a lasting public benefit, Pistons
are now completely liberated by the new Conical Pumps, and one of
the most glorious victories ever achieved obtained over both friction
and leakage. Whilst both those frightful defects, that probably tax
the world annually some millions sterling, must abide with the old
Cylindrical Pumps for ever.
If George Stephenson, Esq., places a Friction Pump by the side of
a Fountain Pump upon his Yarmouth Railway for constant trials by
• manual power, he will rectify his judgment respecting the two
Pumps, and gladly discover, after all his great experience in Pump
work, that the best Friction Pumps are but poor contrivances for
raising water, when fairly tented against Fountain Pumps well car-
ried out, which for the last twenty years have never been equalled,
nor can ever be surpassed.
Tombland public Fountain Pump (Norwich) raised 30 tons of
water per day for watering the streets, and supplied the inhabitants
with water for two years, before the first connector failed, when a
new connector was fixed in two hours, and the Fountain Pump again
performed the same work with half the labour of the former
Friction Primp.
THE RIGHT WAY OF RAISING WATER IS FOUND OUT.
Therefore, could all engineers at once learn to carry out well this
simple invention, the God-send would prove one of the most im-
portant discoveries ever made,_ In its infancy even mark its
